As viewed from space, the Earth's distinguishing characteristics are its blue waters and white clouds. Enveloped by an ocean of air consisting of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, the planet is the only one in our solar system known to harbor life. Circling the Sun at an average distance of 149 million km (93 million miles), the Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system. Its rapid spin and molten nickel-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic field which, coupled with the atmosphere, shields us from nearly all of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun and other stars. Most meteors burn up in the Earth's atmosphere before they can strike the surface. The planet's active geological processes have left no evidence of the ancient pelting it almost certainly received soon after it was formed. The Earth has a single

Since life began eons ago, thousands of creatures have come and gone. Some, such as the dinosaurs, became extinct due to naturally changing ecologic conditions. More recent threats to life forms are humans and their activities. Man has drained marshes, burned prairies, dammed and diverted rivers. Some of the more recent casualties of man's expansion have been the dodo, great auk, passenger pigeon, Irish elk, and Steller's sea cow. Sadly, we can no longer attribute the increasing decline in our wild animals and plant species to \"natural\" processes. Many species are dying out because of exploitation, habitat

alteration or destruction, pollution, or the introduction of new species of plants and animals to an area.

Mr. Faugel was convinced that student nervousness had affected their scores; to reduce the anxiety of these students who had already been tested, he gave 22 of them a beta blocker before readministration of the test. Their scores
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
improved significantly. The other 8 students (who did not receive the beta blockers) improved only slightly. Second-time test-takers nationwide had average improvements which were similar to those in Faugel's non-beta blocker group. Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years. These medications, which interfere with the effects of adrenalin, have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright. Now they are used for test anxiety. These drags seem to help test-takers who have low scores because of test fright, but not those who do not know the material. Since there can be side effects from these beta blockers, physicians are not ready to prescribe them routinely for all test-takers.
69. Where is the only place a person can obtain beta blockers? A. Supermarket. B. Convenience store. C. Stationary store. D. Doctor's office.
70. Why are beta blockers not prescribed regularly? A. Students are expected to do poorly. B. There are side effects.
C. The drugs are only 25 years old.

71. According to the passage, ______. A. all people can take beta blockers B. beta blockers are widely prescribed C. beta blockers work only on test anxiety
D. beta blockers work only to improve test scores if the test-taker truly knows the material
72. \"Re-administration\" in this passage refers to giving ______. A. the test again to people without administering beta blockers
B. the test again to both groups after beta blockers have been administered to one group
C. the test to both groups of test-takers and then giving them beta blockers
D. the beta blockers without retesting
73. What possible use for beta blockers was NOT discussed in this passage? A. Test anxiety. B. Z Pain relief. C. Minor stress. D. Heart conditions.

In the following passage, there are 20 blanks representing words that are missing from the context. You are to provide each of the blanks with the missing word. The time for this section is 20 minutes.
When I tell people that I'm a professor of communication, they often are confused (1) what the term \"communication\" means. Many people think mass communication is the (2) type of communication, but mass communication is only one form of communication. The study of mass communication focuses on messages that are (3) over (4) such as television, 欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
newspapers, and radio. Other areas of (5) focus on the messages individuals send to one another. Some of the major contexts in which communication is studied (6) the interpersonal context, the organizational context, and the intercultural context. A scholar studying (7) communication, for example, might examine how married couples (8) with misunderstandings and the effects these misunderstandings have on (9) satisfaction. Organizational communication scholars, on the other hand, might study (10) the communication styles used by managers and their subordinates influence productivity and efficiency in a company or factory. My area of specialization is intercultural communication. Intercultural communication is an (11) field of study which incorporates research from disciplines (12) as social psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology, sociolinguistics, and of course, communication. One of the (13) important areas of research addressed by intercultural scholars is how misunderstandings can be (14) when people communicate with Others from different (15) . To understand the process of intercultural communication, we must study how individuals' cultural backgrounds (16) their communication behaviors. The area of intercultural communication is a relatively new
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
(17) of study even in the United States. While most Chinese students studying communication in the United States (18) on mass communication, there are some who are interested in intercultural communication and plan to return to China to teach and (19) research in this area. The work of these Chinese scholars on intercultural communication is important because it will help improve (20) between Chinese and Americans in the future.

36. B[分析] 副词应用。
用来修饰比较级结构的表示程度的副词只能用far，意为“……多”。
37．B[分析] 固定搭配。
动词distinguish与from连用：distinguish from区别，辨别。
38．D[分析] 语义关系。
本题的意思是“尽管许多行业面临破产，可这家210亿美元的影视软件行业却在蓬勃发展，仅在美国影视发展商就以每年2,500的速度增加。”由此可见，4个选项中只有while有转折的意思。 39．A[分析] 结构应用。
此句由and连接两个并列成分，所填选项应与前面were used一样，是一个完整的结构；因此选项B．none has和D．no others been均是错误表达，C．no other has been 与 and前的半句时态不符，只有A．none have been的结构正确。
40．C[分析] 不定代词应用。
此句意为：没什么能像观看两个超级制度为了名誉而争更能挑起冷嘲热讽的了。根据句意，主语应为表否定意义的
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
不定代词nothing，后面的空按逻辑应为like。 41．A[分析] 连词应用。
此句意为：我看到有四种压力影响着现今的大学生：来自经济的压力、父母的压力、同龄人的压力以及自己造成的压力。主句先总括，后面分述四种压力，它们是并列的，所以应用并列连词and，or表示否定，nil是名词，意为“零，无”；with是介词。 42．D[分析] 结构应用。
此句是虚拟语气用法。动词suggest后要跟虚拟的宾语从句，宾语从句的谓语要用：动词原形或should+动词原形。此句的宾语从句又为被动语态，所以要用D．be spent on。 43．B[分析] 结构应用。
此句是一个带有原级比较as…as的句型结构，比较结构后面的as是连接词，不是副词：前一个空白处的比较成分中应有从属连词as，第二个空白处应填入一个和drug词性相同的成分；因此选项A和C均不对；又因“计算机对人类健康带来危害”是科学家的推测，不是既定事实，因此用一般将来时，所以选项D也不对。 44. D[分析] 结构应用。
此句是虚拟语气用法。动词demand后要跟虚拟的宾语从句，宾语从句的谓语要用：动词原形或should+动词原形。此句的宾语从句又为被动语态，所以要用D．be

欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
completed。
45．A[分析] 习惯搭配和结构应用。
“为某事负责”是take responsibility for，所以第一个空要填for：第二个空白处的介词短语与后面的we live构成定语从句修饰world，所填之处应为介词+关系代词构成的介词短语，因表地点world，所以应用in which；只有选项A正确。
46．A[分析] 结构应用。
本句是个并列否定句。either一般不用于否定句中，所以选项D不对：not表否定不需要倒装，所以选项B也不对：nor表否定需要倒装且前半句是一般过去时，所以应用nor did I know……；第二个空白处需要填一个可引导定语从句修饰person的关系代词，在此who合适；所以选项A正确。
47．D[分析] 结构应用。
此句是虚拟语气用法。虚拟语气中含有if条件句，主语又为“时，应省略if，句子倒装，又因此句表达的是与过去事实相反的假设，应用过去完成时，所以选项D正确。 48．A[分析] 结构应用。
此句是倒装句hardly…when的用法。从属连词no sooner…than，hardly…when， scarcely…when/before通常需在主句中采用部分倒装的形式。这种句型一般用过去完
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
成时，强调一个动作紧跟在一个动作后面发生……此句意为“原有的犯罪行为还没得到制裁，新的犯罪行为又出现了。”所以选项A正确。
49．D[分析] 结构应用及习惯搭配。
动词“remember+动名词”表示“记起过去做过的一件事”，“remember+不定式”表示“记住要去做某一件事”：本句意为“我仍能清楚地记得……”，所以应用动名词。第二个空白处因是表达“小心地沿深谷下山”，所以是pick our steps from the mountains down the deep valley，选项D正确。
50．B[分析] 结构应用及习惯搭配。
分词作宾语补足语时，要注意主动与被动的关系：如果宾语与宾语补足语之间是主动关系要用现在分词，如是被动关系要用过去分词。本句stop与 load之间是被动关系，要用过去分词loaded；第二个空与前面的look表示“看起来像……”，所以用固定搭配look like，选项B正确。 Section 2
51．C[分析] 细节题型。
见文中第二句话：Enveloped by an ocean of air consisting of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen，the planet is the only one in our solar system known to harbor life．地球由内含78%氮气和21%氧气的大气层包裹，是太阳系中唯一一个已知能够
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
含有生命的星球。其中78%的氮气符合选项“地球大气中氮气含量约占四分之三”。 52．C[分析] 细节题型。
见文中第四句：Its rapid spin and molten nickel-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic field which，…地球迅速的自转以及其熔融的镍铁地核引发了广泛的磁场……由此可知地球的磁场是借助于其自身的自转及其熔融的地核引发的，因此答案为C。 53．A[分析] 细节题型。
见文中第四句：Its rapid spin and molten nickel-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic field which，coupled with the atmosphere，shields us from nearly all of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun and other stars．地球快速的自转以及其熔融
的镍铁地核引发了广泛的磁场，再加上大气层，保护我们免受来自太阳及其他星体的几乎所有的有害辐射。由此我们得出：帮助地球免受辐射的两个因素是A．“磁场和大气层”。
54．D[分析] 推断题型。
见文中倒数第二句：The planet's active geological processes have left no evidence of the ancient pelting it almost certainly received soon after it was formed．地球活跃的地质
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
作用使得地球从其形成之时起就没留下以往那些曾遭受撞击的痕迹。由此得知以往那些曾遭受撞击的痕迹是由于地球自然的地质作用而消除的，因此答案为D。 55．C[分析] 主旨题型。
概括性的结论是主旨题的答案。而选项A．“地球上有维系生命的特征。”、B．“地球表面主要是水。”、D．“地球是唯一有卫星的星体。”均为具体信息或细节，不能概括全文。选项C．“地球与其他星球有着不同的特征。”则涵盖了全文的信息，并与文中第一句“从太空看，地球与众不同的特征为一有着蓝色的水面和白云。”相吻合。
56．C[分析] 推断题型。
从Most meteors burn up in the Earth's atmosphere before they can strike the surface． The planet's active geological processes have left no evidence of the ancient pelting it almost certainly received soon after it was formed．(大多数的流星在撞击地球表面之前就已在大气层中烧毁，而地球活跃的地质作用使得地球从其形成之时起就没留下以往那些曾遭受撞击的痕迹。)这两句中推知地球在过去还是遭受过流星撞击的，因此C为答案。 57．C [分析] 细节题型。
见文中第三、四句：More recent threats to life forms are
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
humans and their activities． Man has drained marshes，burned prairies，dammed and diverted rivers．各种生物近期遇到的威胁更多来自于人类：人类耗干了湿地、烧毁了大草原、筑坝并让河流改道。因此C．“人类生活环境变迁的一种形式是在河流上筑坝。”为答案，其余A．“冰川侵蚀”、B．“飓风”和D，“暴风雪”均是自然现象。 58．B[分析] 细节题型。
见文中第五句：Some of the more recent casualties of man's expansion have been the dodo；great auk，passenger pigeon，Irish elk．and Steller's sea cow．近期人类扩张所造成的一些受害者有：渡渡鸟、大海雀、候鸽、爱尔兰麋鹿及Steller's海象。本题所问：“由于人类破坏已经灭绝的物种是……”，应为“爱尔兰麇鹿”。 59．C[分析] 推断题型。
本段提到了由于生态环境的变迁和人类活动的破坏等因素造成了一些物种的灭绝，段尾提到由国会授权，美国渔业及野生动物署实施挽救濒危物种计划且提到这一计划的主要目标。根据逻辑推理，下段应提及政府实施这一计划所带来的变化，因此选项C．“政府实施这一计划所带来的成就。”应为答案。 60．B[分析] 态度题型。
本文的语气从文章作者所持的态度来看是支持保护野生动
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
植物的，因此选项B．“亲……野生动植物的”是答案。 61．A[分析] 推断题型。
文中提到More recent threats to life forms are humans and their activities…Some of the more recent casualties of man's expansion have been the dodo，great auk，passenger pigeon，Irish elk，and Steller's sea cow，各种生物近期遇到的威胁更多来自于人类。……近期人类扩张所造成的一些受害者有：渡渡鸟、大海雀、候鸽、受尔兰麋鹿及Steller's海象。因此根据本文，我们能推断出人类是造成某些动物灭绝的原因，所以A是答案。 62．D[分析] 是非题型。
文中提到Many species are dying out because of exploitation，habitat alteration or destruction,pollution，or the introduction of new species of plants and animals to an area.许多物种灭绝是由于人类的开发，栖息地的变更或毁灭，污染或新的动、植物物种的传人。因此选项A. exploitation、B. pollution和C．habitat alteration均是导致野生动物总数持续下降的原因，只有选项D．Congressional law不是原因，故是本题答案。 63．B[分析] 推断题型。
见文中第二句：If 14 parts of gold are mixed with 10 parts of base metal，the combination is called 14-Karat(14K)gold．如
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
果将14份黄金与10份普通金属混合，它们的化合物即14K金。由此可推论24K金应为24份黄金与10份普通金属混合。所以选项B．“如果一只戒指上刻24K，它应含有24份黄金。”是答案。 64．D[分析] 细节题型。
见文中：The lowest Karat gold that can be marketed in the United States is 10-Karat gold．能够在美国市场上交易的黄金最低含金量不能低于10K。因此选项D；“10K，的黄金是美国能够上市的最低级别的黄金。”是答案。 65．B[分析] 细节题型。
见文中：If there is a Karat quality mark，next to it must be the U．S．registered trademark of the person or company that will stand behind the mark…如果黄金饰品上标有开/K纯度的质量标志，紧挨这个标志的后面一定要有某个在美国注册
的个人或公司的商标。选项B与此同义，故为答案。 66．A[分析] 细节题型。 详解见63题。
67．A[分析] 推断题型。
本段的主要内容是介绍了K/开的含义，及黄金饰品上应有的标识，因此可推断出它为消费者提供了重要的购买信息。本题也可用排除法做，选项B．“本段为消费者提供了
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
购买更多黄金的挑战。”C．“本段为消费者提供了有关黄金价格的思考。”D．“本段为消费者提供了购买银器的建议。”均不符文中之意。 68．C[分析] 词义题型。
文中最后一句的Stamping Act指印花税法，即C项所说的“制订印花税授权的法令”，而不是A项所说的税收规则，B项所说的一项法规和D项所说的一种手段。 69．D[分析] 细节题型。
见文中：Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years．β-受体阻滞药是一种已存在25年左右的处方类药。既是处方药，当然要从医生处获得了。
70．B[分析] 细节题型。
见文中最后一句：Since there can be side effects from these beta blockers，physicians are not ready to prescribe them routinely for all test-takers．由于β-受体阻滞药可能存在副作用，所以医生们并不愿意给所有的考试者当常规药来开。由此得知是由于此药的副作用，医生们并不经常开：所以B是答案。
71．D[分析] 推断题型。
根据对以上几题的解析，可排除选项A和B。又根据文中These drugs seem to help test-takers who have low scores
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
because of test fright，but not those who do not know the material．(此类药似乎有助于那些由于怯场而导致分数低的考试者，却不能帮助那些不了解考试内容的人。)可推断出D是正确答案。
72．B[分析] 词义题型。
见文中：…to reduce the anxiety of these students who had already been tested，he gave 22 of them a beta blocker before readministration of the test．为减轻这些已参加过测试的学生的焦虑，他给其中22人服用了β-受体阻滞药，然后又给他们做了次测试。因此选项B．“一组人(22人)服用β-受体阻滞药后再给两组做了次测试”是正确答案。 73．B [分析] 是非题型，可用排除法。
由文中These medications，which interfere with the effects of adrenalin，have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright．Now they are used for test anxiety. 两句可知A、C、D选项均有提及，所以答案为B。 74．B[分析] 细节题型。
见文中：These medications，which interfere with the effects of adrenalin…这些用来舒缓心境和较小压力如怯场的药物会干扰肾上腺素……，可知B为答案。 75．D[分析] 细节题型。
从文中前四句得知，“将30名参加过测试的学生分成实
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
欧阳计创编 2021..02.11
验组和对比组，让实验组的22名学生服用了β-受体阻滞药(而8名对比组的学生没有服用)，然后又对他们进行次测试，结果服药的学生成绩提高显著，没服药的学生成绩只略有提高，全国范围内的实验结果也证明第二次参加测试的学生成绩均有提高，与没服药的学生类似。”因此选项D．“Faugel的研究表明服药学生的成绩比全国范围内的实验结果中(没服药的)学生成绩高出许多。”是答案。 Section 3

见上句。因为是举例，又与as搭配，所以填such。 13．most[分析] 结构搭配。
