參考答案與解析

（一）

本文是描述作者在干冷枯燥的火車上接受了一個(gè)陌生小孩的吻，通過(guò)這個(gè)小故事使作者認(rèn)識(shí)到，人一生中始終要保持快樂(lè)。

1. B。根據(jù)前面的 cold 得出答案“又冷、又疲勞”的旅客。

2. C。根據(jù)下文，從大人的腿間“擠著往前走（push ones way是固定短語(yǔ)）”。

3. A。根據(jù)上文“從大人腿間擠過(guò)去”和下文作者讓他過(guò)去，他給作者一個(gè)吻作為謝意來(lái)判斷，那些大人有些“不友好”。

4. C。根據(jù)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)和句子的意思，只有 chooses 符合句意。

5. B。從上文他想從那些不友好的大人的腿間擠過(guò)去來(lái)判斷，小孩的臉是“嚴(yán)肅的”。

6. B。根據(jù)下文，作者“一下子”想起他想從我這兒“過(guò)去”并回到他爸爸跟前。

7. D。參考第6題解析的下半句。

8. C。從下文的“他想對(duì)我說(shuō)什么來(lái)看”可判斷是“頭”傾向作者。

9. B。因?yàn)槲乙詾樗窍雽?duì)我說(shuō)什么，所以判斷是“信息”。

10. A。根據(jù)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)，在臉頰上親一個(gè)吻應(yīng)該是“響亮的”，其余選項(xiàng)不符句意。

11. B。作者對(duì)一個(gè)陌生小孩突然吻自己感到“震驚”。

12. C。從上下文得知他們都是旅客，互相都不“認(rèn)識(shí)”。

13. B。從上文可知“我周圍的人也肯定被吻了”。

14. B。 因?yàn)樽髡邔?duì)這件事感到驚奇，又因?yàn)樗莻€(gè)孩子，所以向他爸爸“微笑”。

15. A。因?yàn)槎际悄吧?，所以他爸爸帶著質(zhì)疑的眼光（glance）。

16. C。從下文“向出口走去”得出答案“消失在人群中”。

17. D。根據(jù)前后意思得出答案“作者還能感覺(jué)到小孩在臉上所留下的吻”。

18. A。 從上文“作者想象到，這孩子為了愉快地活著，到處吻別人不知多少次了”。

19. C。根據(jù)上文 being alive 得出答案。

20. C。根據(jù)下文的 your heart stops 來(lái)得出答案。

（二）

1. D。study 意為“研究”，根據(jù)下文，這是指對(duì)未來(lái)20年地球上的情況變化所作的研究。

2. B。與后面的人口增長(zhǎng)，環(huán)境污染等聯(lián)系起來(lái)看，在2010年地球上的狀況（picture）將會(huì)令人不愉快（unpleasant）。

3. C。因?yàn)槿丝诶^續(xù)增長(zhǎng)，所以世界會(huì)越來(lái)越擁擠（crowded）。

4. D。指人口數(shù)目的多用large，不用small。指人口達(dá)到某一數(shù)目用“as large as + 數(shù)詞”。

5. A。從現(xiàn)狀來(lái)看，人口增長(zhǎng)快的國(guó)家多為發(fā)展但不發(fā)達(dá)的國(guó)家;而城市人口急劇增長(zhǎng)的則是一些發(fā)展中的國(guó)家（developing countries）。

6. B。前面提到了兩個(gè)城市，故此空只能填each。neither具有否定意義，不合句意，不能插入謂語(yǔ)之中。

7. C。相臨幾句是講糧食增長(zhǎng)問(wèn)題，故選increase“增長(zhǎng)”。

8. B。前后兩句具有轉(zhuǎn)折意義：農(nóng)民所生產(chǎn)的糧食將比1985多90%，但多數(shù)增產(chǎn)糧食的國(guó)家是已經(jīng)有足夠糧食供人們生活的國(guó)家。

9. A。already 意為“已經(jīng)”，由下句可知：是指已經(jīng)有足夠糧食供人們生活的國(guó)家。

10. D。expect意為“預(yù)計(jì)”，句意為：在亞洲南部的國(guó)家預(yù)計(jì)增產(chǎn)幅度不大。

11. A。由changing farms into deserts可知：不當(dāng)農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)方式毀壞（destroy）了大片生產(chǎn)糧食的土地。

12. B。由于擴(kuò)建城市，修建房屋，必然侵占大量農(nóng)田，故選lost（失去）。

13. A。由burn coal and oil必然排放大量煙霧，可推知：此處指空氣污染（air pollution）。

14. C。由more and more trees are cut down可推知：此處指森林（forests）可能消失。

15. D。此句意為：專家說(shuō)地球到2010年的狀況可能會(huì)不好。

16. C。exist 意為“存在”。由上下文可知：環(huán)境正遭受污染和破壞，專家們只是想保存今天的狀況。

17. A。settle the problems 意為“解決問(wèn)題”

18. B。still 意為“還有”，加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣。句意為：現(xiàn)在還有時(shí)間給世界各國(guó)制定行動(dòng)計(jì)劃。

19. C。work out a plan 意為“制定計(jì)劃”。

20. D。句意為：專家們警告說(shuō)等待太長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間作出決定將會(huì)極大地減少成功的機(jī)會(huì)。
