1. D 。由第五段的“ The model UN has allowed me to set up a global view towards life and the world. ”以及最后一段的“ But despite my awareness of how naïve this idea sounds, I do wish unanimity so we can improve everyone's life. I humbly ask all of you to go do something to make a difference. ”可知作者写下自己的经历与感受主要是为了呼吁更多的读者形成全球观,为使世界更美好贡献自己的力量。

2. B 。由第二段后面的文字可知“ I was feeling how great a day it was that she finally got a bit to eat. ”应选 B 。

3. A 。先找到第六段的“ Like the real diplomats , we delegates always hold tightly to our own interests and we don't concede even a little for our own delegation's priority ”, hold tightly to 与 don't concede 是并列关系,即 concede 与 hold tightly to 意思相对,所以可推知其表示“妥协,让步”,选 A 。

4. C 。作者对乞丐的微笑以及她为其有食物可吃感到欣慰,可以看出作者富有同情心;作者积极参加模拟联合国活动,可见她的 active ;作者呼吁更多的人一起为社会贡献力量,可见她的社会责任感,因此答案为 C 。

D. An increasing number of people are likely to escape from their own daily lives for adventure.

 

1. B 。由第四段的“ Yet, Jones is not a super hero. He gets hurt, he gets angry and he is deathly afraid of snakes. ”可知 B 项 never afraid of anything 不正确;由第一段第一句“ IT has been 19 years since Indiana Jones wore his fedora ( 软呢帽 ) and leather jacket and swung his whip ( 鞭子 ) across a movie screen ”可知 A 项正确; 由第三段的“ Henry “Indiana” Jones Jr. is your regular, every day archaeology professor. ”可知 C 正确;由第三段的“ He becomes Indiana Jones, a treasure hunter who travels the world, defeats evil and always wins the girl. ”可知 D 项正确。

2. D 。由第四段“ Yet, Jones is not a super hero. He gets hurt, he gets angry and he is deathly afraid of snakes. And that is why he is so popular. “Indiana Jones is not a perfect hero, and his imperfections, I think, make the audience feel that, with a little more exercise and a little more courage, they could be just like him,” said Stephen Spielberg, the director of the Jones movies. ”可知。

3. A 。由第二段最后一句话“ Because Jones did more in his three previous movies than simply hunt for treasure, he also found his way into the heart of American culture. ”以及文章最后一段话可以看出 Jones 身上打着美国梦的烙印,故 A 项正确。

B. Spacecrafts have surveyed all the major bodies of the solar system since 1961.

C. Drake is kind of discouraged about the little progress they've made about ET

D. Scientists believe that there are aliens in the extraterrestrials.

 

1. D 。本文按照时间顺序写了科学家对宇宙的探索,因此 D 项符合题意。

2. B 。由第七段“ You might think some developments have been made in solving the equation, or rewriting it, but you would be wrong. Astronomers today are as optimistic (or pessimistic) as the Green Bank group. ”以及下文可以看出方程式的解答还需要很长一段时间。

3. C 。由第九段 …he now no longer expects to hear from ET in his lifetime. “We could be wrong,” he said. 可以看出 Drake 对自己研究进展不大有点失望,因此 C 项正确;由第三段的“ They did the math, and concluded that there could be from a thousand to a billion other civilizations in the galaxy ”可知 A 项不对,科学家只是大体估计,而没有准确算出来; B 项的 all 不对;要排除冥王星; D 项 believe 不对,最后一段只提到了科学家希望有外星人存在。

D. It's necessary to hold big parties frequently to share happy memories with your friends and relatives.

 

1. A 。第四段很详细地解释了作者反对在人死后隆重追悼的原因,“ Why do we wait until someone's ears can't hear before we let them know how much they mean to us? Why do we wait until it is too late before we recall the good qualities of a person? ” 可知 A 正确,作者主要是认为这些所谓的赞美对于死者来说都是无意义的了,因为他们没法听到了。

2. D 。由第五段以及第六段“ The special person gets to hear the stories and come to the realization that they have made a difference on this earth. ”可知作者认为在人还活着的时候对生命的赞美,他们就还有机会听见,从而更深刻地了解到自己的价值。
