要求 对教师党员的评价套管和固井爆破片与爆破装置仓库管理基本要求三甲医院都需要复审吗 )和原文中的bully(侮辱)是两个不同的概念。(5).Inthepassage,a"bigot-fodder"mostprobablyreferstoapersonwhois______.（分数：2.50）A.uniqueB.complicatedC.unimportantD.simple √解析：[解析]根据题干中的bigot-fodder定位到第6段第1句。该句中的ratherthan表明bigot-fodder的性格应该与前面的partgood，partbad相反，即bigot-fodder应该是性格单一，不复杂的角色，可见，本题应选D。该句冒号后举的几个例子可能会让人觉得bigot-fodder是电影中不重要的角色而选了C，但例子是用来说明前面的观点的，不能基于几个例子就作出脱离前面观点的推论。(6).Accordingtotheauthor,thedoubleOscarthisyear______.（分数：2.50）A.triggersthebattleonracisminfilmindustryB.helpssettletheissueofracisminfilmindustryC.verifiestheequalitybetweenracesinfilmindustry √D.disclosestheinequalitybetweenracesinfilmindustry解析：[解析]根据题干中的doubleOscar定位到第6段最后一句。该句中的sealthecontract字面意思为“在合同上盖章”，引申为“确认”的意思，该句和上一句结合起来，表明这一次的doubleOscar“证明”了Thatbattle...wassettled(电影圈种族之间的问题很早以前就已经解决了)，现在各种族已平等，可见，本题应选C。另外，既然问题已经解决了，A中的trigger和B中的helpsettle就不对了。GlassmakinginEasternEuropeandRomaniacomesfromtheMuranostyleinItalyasmostoftheartisansstudiedglassmakingthere.Uptothe13thcentury,EuropeanglassmakingwasexclusivetoVenice.ButfrequentfirespromptedVenetianauthoritiestoshiftthefurnacestotheislandofMurano.TherehasbeenalonghistoryofmakingglassinRomania.RomanianglassmakershavesuccessfullypassedonthisartforseveralgenerationsandthecraftcontinuestothriveinthispartofEasternEurope.InRomania,itissaidthatartisansonlypassonthesecretsofglassmakingtomembersoftheirfamily.Moreimportantly,thereisarigidhierarchyinobtainingthecovetedpositionasaglassblower.Forexample,ayoungmanmaytakeyearsbeforehecangettothatstagewithinthisstricthierarchy.RomanianglassiscomparabletoanygreatpieceofEasternEuropeanmouthblownglass.Andtheyarenothingliketheonesthataremadebymachineryorinexpensiveduplicates.TraditionallyRomanianfactoriesandglassstudiosmanufactureclearglassutilizingpelletsthataredistinctandcommonlyfoundinWesternEurope.Anddependingontheartisan,Germanpigmentsarepopularlyusedforcoloringorpaintingglass.ThecombinationofthisblendmakesRomaniancraftedglasstrulyasuperiorproductanywhereinEurope.ThoughRomanianglassworkisnormallynotmadefromcrystal,nonetheless,itcarriesasimilarpurityandshine.GlassproductsinRomaniaarenotjustgreatlooking,theyarealsobeingproducedtosuitahostoflifestyles,fromthetraditionaltomodernandthelineofproductsareguaranteedqualityglasswarethatisbothfunctionalanddecorative.Romanianmouth-blownglasswareismadebyhighlyskilledartisans.Theyareverycreativepieceswithexceptionalquality.Theyarealsoaprizedcollector"sitem.Someoftheworkincludesvasesandbowlsthataremadeascenterpiecesaswellasplates—theartisanswhocreatethesemasterpieceslearnedtheirskillsinMuranoitself.Thecontemporaryglasswareisnotjustplacedingalleriestobeondisplay,theyalsomakegreatgifts,particularlyweddinggifts,anddecorationsespeciallyinrestaurants,businessesandhotels.Theycanalsobeusedasdecorationswhiledesigningyourhome.（分数：10.00）(1).WhatisNOTtrueabouttheglassmakinginMurano?（分数：2.50）A.ItwasoriginatedfromtheglassmakinginVenice.B.ItspreadtoEasternEuropethroughVenice. √C.TheRomanianglassmakingcomesfromMurano.D.Glassmakingdidn"tbegininMuranountilafterthe13thcentury.解析：[解析]根据题干中的Murano定位到第1段。该段最后两句说明在13世纪欧洲玻璃工艺仅集中在威尼斯，之后从威尼斯传到了穆拉诺岛，由此可见，B所说的“从穆拉诺到传到威尼斯再传到东欧”这种发展顺序与原文不一致。(2).InRomania,aglassblowerismostprobably______.（分数：2.50）A.amostcreativeglasswaredesignerB.theheirofaglass-makingfamilyC.apositionhigherupthehierarchy √D.averyexperiencedglasswaremaker解析：[解析]根据题干中的Romania和glassblower定位到第2段。该段最后两句表明，玻璃工艺师有森严的等级 制度 关于办公室下班关闭电源制度矿山事故隐患举报和奖励制度制度下载人事管理制度doc盘点制度下载 ，而且想要到达glassblower这个等级，需要花很长时间，由此可见，glassblower应该处于这个等级制度中比较上层的位置，因此，本题应选C。在这两句中，最重要的信息点是“等级制度”，其他选项都没有突出这个重点，而试图用原文提到的某些用词模糊焦点。(3).RomanianglasswareissimilartothatproducedinWesternEuropeinits______.（分数：2.50）A.materials √B.designC.practicalityD.coloring解析：[解析]根据题干中的Romania和WesternEurope定位到第3段第3句。该句中，utilizing为“使用”的意思，其后的宾语及定语从句表明罗马尼亚玻璃生产商使用了西欧常用的 材料 关于××同志的政审材料调查表环保先进个人材料国家普通话测试材料农民专业合作社注销四查四问剖析材料 ，可见，“材料”是两者的相同之处，故应选A。(4).Romanianmouth-blownglassware______.（分数：2.50）A.ispopularwithcollectorsB.ishighlyvaluedbycollectors √C.winsmanyawardsforcollectorsD.sellsatahigherprizetocollectors解析：[解析]第4段第3句中的prized是关键词，意为“被看作有价值的”，可见，这与B同义。prized并没有“获奖”的意思，因此，C不正确；prized与A的popular也不同，因为“获得高

的”东西并不必然就是“流行的”。三、TEXTB(总题数：2，分数：22.50)ThedirectraysofthesuntouchtheequatorandstrikenorthwardtowardtheTropicofCancer.IntheSouthernhemispherewinterhasbegun,anditissummernorthoftheequator.Theseaandairgrowwarmer;thepolarairofwinterbeginsitsgradualretreat.Thenorthwardshiftofthesunalsobringstheseasonoftropicalcyclonestothenorthernhemisphere,aseasonthatisendingforthePacificandIndiaOceanssouthoftheequator.AlongourcoastsandthoseofAsia,itistimetolookseaward,toguardagainsttheseason"sstorms.OverthePacific,thetropicalcycloneseasonisneverquiteover,butvariesinintensity.Everyyear,conditionseastofthePhilippinessendascoreofviolentstormshowlingtowardAsia,butitisworstfromJunethroughOctober.SouthwestofMexico,afewPacifichurricaneswillgrowduringspringandsummer,butmostwilldieatseaorperishoverthedesertorthelowerCaliforniacoastassqualls.AlongourAtlanticandGulfcoasts,thehurricaneseasonisfromJunetoNovember.Inanaverageyear,therearefewerthantentropicalcyclonesandsixofthemwilldevelopintohurricanes.Thesewillkill50to100personsbetweenTexasandMaineandcausepropertydamageofmorethan$100million.Iftheyearisworsethanaverage,wewillsufferseveralhundreddeaths,andpropertydamagewillruntobillionsofdollars.Tornadoes,floods,andseverestormsareinseasonelsewhereonthecontinent.Now,tothesedestructiveforcesmustbeaddedthehazardofthehurricane.FromtheNationalHurricaneCenterinMiami,aradarfencereacheswestwardtoTexasandnorthwardtoNewEngland.Itprovidesa200-milelookintooffshoredisturbances.InMaryland,thegiantcomputersoftheNationalMeteorologicalCenterdigestthemyriadbitsofdata—atmosphericpressure,temperature,humidity,surfacewinds,andwindsaloft—receivedfromweatherstationsandshipsmonitoringtheatmosphericsettingeachhour,everyday.CloudphotographsfromspacecraftorbitingtheeartharereceivedinMarylandandarestudiedforthetelltalespiralonthewarmingsea.ThecrewofUnitedStatesaircraftovertheGulfofMexico,Caribbean,andAtlanticwatchtheskyandwaitforthestormthatwillbearaperson"sname.Themachineryofearlywarningvibrateswithnewurgencyastheseasonofgreatstormsbegins.（分数：10.00）(1).ThecycloneseasonoftheSouthernhemisphere______.（分数：2.50）A.isbroughtbythepolarairofwinterB.endswhenwintercomestotheSouthernhemisphere √C.virtuallylaststhroughouttheyearD.beginswhenthesunraysstriketheTropicofCancer解析：[解析]根据第1段第2句和第2段第1句可推断当南半球进入冬季时，就是其飓风季节结束的时候，同时也是北半球飓风季节开始的时候，因此，本题应选B。A中的thepolarairofwinter和D中的thesunraysstriketheTropicofCancer都在第1段有提及，但这些都与南半球飓风季节的“开始”无关。根据第2段第3句可知C的情况发生在太平洋上，不符合题意要求的“南半球”。(2).WhatistrueaboutthestormshowlingtowardsAsia?（分数：2.50）A.TheyoriginateoverthePacific. √B.TheyinfluenceSoutheastAsiamostviolently.C.Theymainlygrowduringspringandsummer.D.Theyusuallyperishoffcoast.解析：[解析]根据题干中的howlingtowardsAsia定位到第2段第4句。第2段第3句至最后一句讲的都是在太平洋上生成的飓风对沿岸地区和国家的影响，第4句开头的conditions指的也是当地太平洋的conditions，由此可见，该句中提到的thestormshowlingtowardsAsia就是从太平洋上生成的，因此，本题应选A。B没有在原文提及；C和D不符合题意，根据第4段最后一句，这些情况用于描述“墨西哥西南方”的飓风。(3).WhenthePacifichurricanesreachthelowerCalifornia,mostofthemwill______.（分数：2.50）A.reducetheirintensity √B.increasetheirintensityC.causemuchpropertydamageD.resultingreatrainandfloods解析：[解析]根据题干中的lowerCalifornia定位到第2段最后一句。该句中的perish...assqualls表明飓风会在lowerCalifornia减弱为强风，就算不懂得squall的意思，只要抓住perish这个词也可判断A为正确答案。(4).Thepassagediscussesmostclearlyabout______.（分数：2.50）A.thefactorsthatcausehurricanesB.themostriskyareasthatsufferhurricanesC.theearlywarningsystemagainsthurricanes √D.theremediesforpropertydamagebyhurricanes解析：[解析]本文第1、2段主要描述了北半球的飓风季，第3段描述了飓风季对生命财产的损害，第4段描述了各地区对飓风的预警体统，在四个选项中，C

了第4段的主要内容，符合本题题意。其他选项中，A(飓风形成的原因)、B中的mostriskyareas和D中的remedies(补救方法)都没有原文依据。Althoughsomeshoppingmallsareinneedofrecyclingormajorremodeling,thevastmajority—82percent—aredoingquitewell,thankyou,accordingtoarecentstudy.Nevertheless,developersarealreadybeginningtostakeoutanewcourseforthedesignofthesecomplexes."Hybridmalls"areperhapsthehottestconceptintheindustry.Theyareanattempttocombinelargeenclosedmallswithanoutdoorurbanstreetscaperetailentertainmentcomponent,withsuchattractionsascinemas,icerinks,children"splayschemes,andthemedrestaurants.TheInternationalCouncilofShoppingCenters,basedinNewYork,iscallingthistrend"thefirstmajorshiftinregionalmallconfigurationsince1956".Inotherwords,sinceSouthdaleCenterinEdina,Minn,becamethefirstfullyenclosed,climate-controlledmallwithcompetinganchorstores.Theadventofthehybridmallisasuresignthatretailersrealizethatsomeshoppershavegrownindoormalls."ManynationalchainslikeBananaRepublic,RestorationHardware,andCrate&Barrelareactivelyseekingwhatiscalledvillageretail,"saysBobGibbs,whosecompany,theGibbsPlanningGroup,specializesinretaildevelopmentandmarketresearch."Manyoftheircustomers,especiallytheGenerationXandBabyBoomers,aresaying,"weareboredwiththemall.""Hybridmallspickuponthegrowingpopularityofvillage-styleshopping,withitsconnectionstorealcommunities.NewUrbanistsoftenadvocatecreatingmixed-usedevelopmentsthatincorporatevillageshopping,astrategyemployedinplanstoremaketheVillaItaliamallinLakewood,Colo.Developersofhybridmalls,ontheotherhand,areessentiallycreatingshoppingexperiencesfeaturingstreetscapeasanenhancement,andprovidingshoppingoptionontheoutsideofmallswhichbecomebiggerandbiggerdaybyday.Whatthismeansisthatbusinessesthatoncewereperipheraltothemall,suchasfull-servicerestaurants,majorbookstores,cinemas,home-furnishingsstores,andservicesaregroupedtogether.Notinthesamebuilding,butofteninopen-airpedestrianwalkwaysleadingtothemallentrances."Wewantsomeonetodropofftheirdrycleaning,havelunch,andbuyasweater;we"rebacktocross-shopping,"WallyChesterofWestcorPartners,amalldeveloper,toldShoppingCentersToday.（分数：12.50）(1).Whatistrueaboutthe"hybridmall"?（分数：2.50）A.TheconceptwasoriginatedbytheInternationalCouncilofShoppingCenters.B.Theconceptputsmoreemphasisonoutdoorexperiencesthanindoorshopping.C.Itispopularwiththedevelopersofthemallsinneedofrecyclingorremodeling.D.Itprovidesacombinedexperienceofindoorshoppingandoutdoorentertainment. √解析：[解析]根据题干中的hybridmalls定位到第2段开头两句。第2句中的combine...with...与D中的Combinedexperience同义，故D为答案。其他选项都是利用原文的片言只语制造的干扰。(2).ItcanbeinferredthatSouthdaleCenterinEdina,Minn______.（分数：2.50）A.inspirestheconceptofhybridmallB.isthefirstshiftinmallstructureC.providesonlyindoorshopping √D.hasbeenpopularsince1956解析：[解析]根据题干中的SouthdaleCenter定位到第2段第4句。该句中的thefirstfullyenclosed，climate-controlledmall表明C的说法正确。从原文只能知道SouthdaleCenter的建造发生在hybridmall的理念之前，但hybridmall的理念是不是因为前者的建造而激发起来的，就不得而知了，因此，A是不正确的；B中的firstshift在该段第3句提及，但该句中的firstshift指的不是SouthdaleCenter，而是hybridmall，而从原文我们也不能知道SouthdaleCenter是不是历史上第一次对商场结构作出改革的案例，因此，B不正确；原文也没有提及SouthdaleCenter在1965年后是不是一直都受欢迎，可见，D没有原文依据。(3).Bysaying"weareboredwiththemall",theGenerationXandBabyBoomersmeanthat______.（分数：2.50）A.theyaretiredofhybrid-mallshopping.B.theypreferthevillage-styleshopping. √C.nomallscanarousetheirinterestinshopping.D.villageretailshouldbecombinedintomalls.解析：[解析]根据题干中的GenerationXandBabyBoomers定位到第2段最后两句。文中提到GenerationXandBabyBoomers对于传统的商场感到厌倦，他们更喜欢village-styleshopping和hybridmalls，由此可见，本题应选B。A和C与原文内容相反。D提到的villageretail和malls之间的结合，没有原文依据。(4).Newurbanists"attitudetowardsmail-shoppingcanbebestdescribedas"______".（分数：2.50）A.pessimismB.indifferenceC.disapproval √D.ignorance解析：[解析]根据题干中的Newurbanists定位到第3段第1句。该句表明Newurbanists主张villageshopping，而根据上文可知，villageshopping和mallshopping是两种相反的购物模式，Newurbanists主张villageshopping，就表明他们反对mallshopping，可见本题应选C。(5).Cross-shoppingismadepossiblewhen______.（分数：2.50）A.businessesandservicesaregroupedtogether √B.servicesaregroupedtogetherinonelocationC.consumersareenabledtoshopafterentertainmentD.shoppingexperienceischaracteristicofstreetscape解析：[解析]根据题干中的Cross-shopping定位到最后一句。最后一句关于cross-shopping的话用于解释前两句的内容，将前两句的重要内容重新整理，可以得出：businesses...andservicesaregroupedtogether...ofteninopen-airpedestrianwalkwaysleadingtothemallentrances.因此可见，A为最符合原文的理解。其他各项都不是Cross-shopping的要点所在。四、TEXTC(总题数：2，分数：25.00)Nowthatit"ssummer,thegenerationgapintheofficeisasobviousasthealmost-barefeetflip-floppingdownthehallway.BabyBoomerbosses,intheirHillarypantsuits,eyeentry-levelMillennialswithbemusementatbestanddisdainatworst:Whythetighttopsandskinnyjeans?Twentysomethingsshrugoffthescrutiny:Itseemsparentsandbossesjustdon"tunderstand.SallieGainesrepresentstheoldergeneration.Aseniorvice-presidentintheChicagoofficeofpublicrelationsagencyHill&Knowlton,Gaines,55,isnofashionista."Iamanold,fat,whitewoman,"sheannounces."Iamnotstylish."Shewearsdull-coloredsuitsmostdays,tweedjacketsonoccasion,andoncasualFridays,shesportstwinsets,NormThompsonblackjeans,andearth-toneflats.Shetucksherlightbrownhairneatlybehindherears.ButifGainesdresseswithoutflas
