Ⅲ.阅读理解
Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian(埃塞俄比亚的)teenager about her wedding day.The 16?year?old had already been married for a year.“She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said，‘I had to drop out of school’，” Ro binson said in a telep hone interview.“That conveyed to me the reality，” said Robinson，the first woman to serve as Ireland's President and former U.N.High Commissioner for Human Rights.“Her life，as far as she is concerned，had more or less ended.”
Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever?increasing populatio n，predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon.“European countries are concerned about aging populations，but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion，” she said.“Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries，so that we have a very big challenge.”
Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in Sub?Saharan Africa.In May，the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3 billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100.Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year?more than double Asia's 1 percent growth rate.If that rate stays consistent，which is not certai

n，Africa's population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.
Joel Cohen，a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York，said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth rate regions.In addition to providing information about birth control，a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility，improve the health of their children and allow them to move from a mindset of having many children in the hope that some will survive to improve the quality of each child's life，Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.
36.In the first paragraph，the author introduces his topic by________.
A.giving an example
B.explaining his opinions
C.describing the poor education system
D.cning straight to the topic
37.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.
B.Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.
C.Robinson is worried about the population growth.
D.Robinson encourages female education.
38.What is Joel Cohen's view about secondary education?
A.It provides basic knowledge of health.
B.It reduces aging population.
C.It makes people pay more attention to education.
D.It can change people's parenting ideas.
39.According to the passage，one of the most important ways to control high population growth is to________.
A.let girls go away from AfricaB.keep girls in school
C.let young girls remain singleD.keep girls in families参考答案
Ⅰ.1.D　考查动词的时态和语态。由make predictions可以看出，动作还没有发生，所以用将来时，演员是被奖励的，所以用被动语态，故选D。
2.D　考查过去分词作状语。remind 和其逻辑主语some drivers是动宾关系，也就是说，司机是被提醒的。尽管被提醒不要酒后开车，一些司机仍然心存侥幸，这十分危险。
3.B　考查动词的时态和语态。in the past few years为现在完成时的标志，主语“thousands of films”和谓语动词“produce”为动宾关系，所以用完成式的被动语态。句意：在过去的几年里，世界范围内 数千部电影被制作。
4.C　still 应该放在被修饰的形容词前面，而enough应放在被修饰的形容词之后，所以选C，意为：足够的精力充沛。
5.C　考查动名词的用法。此处to是介词，其后him returning为动名词的复 合结构。
6.C　考查名词辨析。award 颁奖，奖赏。句意：他被提名为

最佳男演员奖的候选人。 reward 酬劳; scholarship 奖学金; result 结果。
7.A　本句为it用作形式主语的句型，真正的主语为that引导的主语从句。
8.B　考查副词辨析。actually实际上; especially特别，尤其，其后可以接介词短语; practically实际上; averagely “平均地”。句意：在城市的一些地方，特别是主要的商业区，汽车是不允许进入的。
9.D　考查介词短语辨析。in favour of 支持。in honour of 为了纪念;in terms of就……而言;in view of鉴于，考虑到，由于。
10.A　考查主动表被动形式。在“be + 形容词 + to do”结构中，其后的不定式常用主动形式。
11.B　考查状语从句的连接词。此处while意为：尽管。句意：尽管中国认为人民币汇率合理平衡，但是美国仍对元施加压力。
12.C　考查名词辨析。celebration 庆祝。句意：户外庆祝因为坏天气被推迟了。 occasion 时刻; congratulation 祝贺; challenge 挑战。
13.D　benefit from 从……中获益;be awarded the first prize被授予一等奖。
14.D　考查情态动词。句意：??他们本该更细心地准备会议的。??但他们没有这样做。真可惜!ought to have done过去本该做某事而未做。
15.B　考查冠词。第一空为特指“已完成的那份报告”，故用定冠词the;第二空为抽象名词，不填冠词。
Ⅱ.家庭的不幸、失业的压力和生活的窘迫并没有让我丧失道德，我将捡到的雨伞归还给了它的主人。最终善有善报，我出乎意料地找到了一份销售经理的工作。
16.C　我没有雨伞，因为那把旧伞已经“散架”了。fall apart “破碎，散架;情绪失控;(组织)解体;(协议、关系)破裂”，符合语境。break up“(使)破碎”;go away“离开;走开”;fade away“褪色;逐渐消失”。
17.A　由于离婚和失业，我买不起另外一把伞。afford表示“买得起;能支付”。
18.B　根据第三段的开头“I got off the bus…”可知，我在“公共汽车”上坐了下来。
19.B　本句的后半部分提到这把伞是丝质银柄，由此可知这是一把非常“漂亮的”伞。
20.D　这把伞做工讲究，我以前“从未”见过如此可爱的东西。
21.C　根据第25空后面的“…for the name on the umbrella.”可知，伞柄上刻有一个“名字”。
22.A　这是在公共汽车上捡到的别人丢失的东西，正常的程序是把雨伞“上交”给售票员。turn in“上交”。
23.A　我“想到”一个主意，决定自己带着雨伞找到失主。occur to sb“(主意或想法突然)浮现于某人的脑海中”。
24.D　作者在倾盆大雨中下了车，由此可知作者打开这把伞遮雨时非常“感激”。
25.B　我从电话簿上“查找”雨伞上的那个名字。search“查找，搜寻”。
26.C　我拨通电话后，一位女士“接听”了电话。此处answer表示“接电话”。
27.A　突然有了雨伞的消息，女士自然感到非常“惊讶”。后三项分别表示“恐慌”“沉默”“愤怒”，显然不符合语境。
28.B　此处add表示“补充说”。assume“假定”;declare“宣布，声明”;announce“宣告，公布”。
29.A　这把伞一个月以前就被人“从”门阶前偷走了。
30.B　女士如此激动以至于我当时“忘记”了自己正在寻找工作，径直去了那位女士的家。
31.C　女士接过这把雨伞后，眼中溢满了“泪水”。
32.D　根据本句内容可知，女士想给我钱作为“报酬”。
33.D　第四段提到这是女士已经去世的父母送给她的生日礼物，由此可知这是一把非常“特殊的”雨伞。
34.B　我相信接受了她的钱就会“毁坏”某种东西。
35.D　下一句提到也许是我的善心有了回报，由此可知我“出乎意料地”得到了一份销售经理的工作。
Ⅲ.人口的快速增长困扰着世界。有关人士指出，控制人口快速增长的一种方式就是提高女性的受教育水平，进而改变人们头脑中固有的传统生育观念。
36.A　篇章结构题。在本段中，作者以爱尔兰前总统Mary Robinson与埃塞俄比亚的一位已婚少女的交谈为例引入话题，所以A项正确。
37.C　推理判断题。第二段引号中的内容提到“欧洲国家担心出现人口老龄化问题，但与人口快速增长相比，这算不了什么。几乎所有的人

口增长都发生在发展中国家，这将是一个巨大的挑战。”由此可推断她担心的是人口增长问题。
38.D　推理判断题。由最后一段的最后一句可知，Joel Cohen在《自然》杂志中写到中等教育可以改变人们的育儿理念。
39.B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句前半部分中的内容可知，控制人口快速增长的最重要的方式之一是让女孩儿上学。
