5—9 BDDAC 
5. 答案是B。第一段的内容是提到这三个城市,写作目的就是引出第二段的“They are symbols of these cities that make them different from anywhere else in the world.”,说明这些古式交通工具其实是这些城市的标志。
6. 答案是D。从第三段“the ban has largely been unsuccessful, as it has not changed Thai people's preference for the inexpensive tuk-tuks over taxis.”可知答案是人们喜欢tuk-tuks导致禁令失败。
7. 答案是D。伦敦双层巴士的回归,主要原因在于people's willingness to fight for their survival,伦敦人在市长换届选举时,投票使卖掉双层巴士的原市长落选,新市长做出承诺,是伦敦人的抗争才使双层巴士能够回归。
8. 答案是A。Bangkok city禁止tuk-tuks是因为其噪音大、污染环境,city leaders不喜欢这种交通工具,所以选A。B项伦敦市长的落选证明的是市民喜爱双层巴士;旧金山的cable cars只剩为数不多的几台供游客使用,原因是“They are too slow to be used for anything other than scenic trips.”,并不是city leaders的好恶决定它们的命运,而是它们太不实用了。
9. 答案是C。从这三种城市标志的交通工具的遭遇,我们可以得出结论它们正面临生存问题,it seems they are increasingly out of step with the modern world,它们还能勉强生存下去靠的是人们对它们的喜爱和保护,但它们的确和现代社会的发展脱节了。作者是在客观地讲述,所以D项与原文的意思不符合;B项也和人们对老式交通工具的喜爱相抵触;A项推论太远,老式交通工具的退出会给游客带来一定得遗憾,但不可能因此城市对游客就失去了吸引力。

10—13 DDDC      
10、D。主旨大意题,本文主要介绍了什么是Solar flares以及它们对人类生活所产生的影响,故此题答案应选D。
11、D。文章结构分析题,文章第一段的目的是通过对于Manhattan有可能发生的Solar flares来引入本文的主题。
12、D。细节理解题,根据文章第六小段“They do not harm life on Earth, they only affect the way we live, especially since we depend so much on modern technology”,即可得知答案为D,同时排除A。B根据倒数第三段可以排除。C错在inside。
13、C。细节理解题,根据同上题。所以,尽管solar winds威力很大,但却不会对人类的生命带来伤害。

 

Living with noisy technology  (P8)
Choose the best answer:

A. American people like devices that beep.

D. understands the beeping is designed to be user-friendly

14—16 DAB
14.D。主旨大意题,考查归纳能力。文章主要想表明美国现代生活中有太多的东西发出令人厌烦的机械声音。根据第四段 “Sometimes I long for a natural sound: a bird singing, a dog barking, children laughing, anything to drown out the maddening beeps that have become the soundtrack (配乐) to modern life.”可以推断出答案。C的technology太泛,不能确定为发嘟嘟等声音的设备装置。
A。细节题。根据倒数第四段“There, in the stillness, we went through the possible suspects.”可确定答案。
16.B。作者虽然很讨厌那些不自然的声音,但是通过幽默风趣的拟人手法来表达厌烦。所以很有幽默感。Touch这里的意思是a particular way of doing something, or the ability to do it in a particular way。例如: The room was decorated with a very artistic touch.
