【正文】 ses 、 chances 和 cures 可以排除。 benefits（益處） 才是答案。 由 climate change 引發(fā)的 storm surges 和 prolonged hot weather 給城市居民造成傷害。 interests 、 functions 和 differences 這三個(gè)詞與 storm surges 和 prolonged hot weather 造成的傷害掛不上號(hào)，不會(huì)是答案。 storm surges 和 prolonged hot weather 對(duì)城市居民會(huì)構(gòu)成威脅。因此 threats 才是答案。 9. B 為什么 prolonged hot weather 對(duì)城市居民造成的傷害超過對(duì)其周邊地區(qū)居民造成的傷 害？因?yàn)槌鞘械缆肥谴罅夸佋O(shè)瀝青的道路。 heavily 是答案。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)不符合上述意 思。 貧窮社區(qū)更易受到傷害，句子給出有關(guān)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的各個(gè)方面。貧窮社區(qū)的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施一 定是不盡如人意的。所以要選 lack。 。下面提到 reliable thinking water、 roads 和 basic services 這些基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，從上下文判斷，貧窮居民不會(huì)享有這些基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。所以選 without 比較合 理。 本題的答案是 therefore。上文說的是氣候變化給城鎮(zhèn)居民帶來的種種問題。下文說的 是地方政府應(yīng)該采取相應(yīng)的對(duì)策以保護(hù)城鎮(zhèn)居民。兩部分的敘述是一種因果關(guān)系，所以要 選 therefore。 rhetoric responses （言辭反應(yīng)，即用言語予以搪塞的反應(yīng)）和 meaningful responses （有 意義的反應(yīng)）是兩種截然不同的反應(yīng)。地方政府的反應(yīng)是前者還是后者？隨后的句子，特 別是 a handsoff approach，說明地方政府作出的是 rhetoric responses，而不是 meaningful responses 。所以本題要選 rather than（而不是）。 句中的 “…emphasize mass transit ”提示，要減少的運(yùn)輸工具不會(huì)是大眾交通工具，因此選項(xiàng)中的 train 和 bus便可排除。 bike 是人力驅(qū)動(dòng)，不會(huì)釋放二氧化碳，也可排除。答案是automobile 。私人汽車排放大量的二氧化碳，是城市主要的污染源之一。 15. A “. . many local governments are taking a handsoff approach” 中的 a handsoff approach 提示， Lankao 敦促地方政府改變的一定是他們無所作為（ idle) 的政策。 idle 是正確的選擇。 第十二篇 Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk Fast food outlets could provide statin drugs free of 1 so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London 2 in a new study． Statins reduce the 3 of unhealthy ”LDL” cholesterol in the blood. A wealth of trial data has proven them to be highly effective at lowering a person’s heart attack 4 . In a paper published in the American Journal of Cardiology， Dr Darrel Francis and colleagues calculate that the reduction in heart attack risk offered by a statin is 5 to offset the increase in heart attack risk from 6 a cheeseburger and drinking a milkshake． Dr Francis， from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London， who is the senior author of the study, said:”Statins don’t cut out a11 of the 7 effects of cheeseburgers and French fries． It’s better to avoid fatty food altogether． But we’ve worked out that in terms of your 8 of having a heart attack. Taking a statin can reduce your risk to more or less the same 9 as a fast food meal increases it.” “It’s ironic that people are free to take as many unhealthv condiments in fast food outlets as they 10 , but statins, which are beneficial to heart health, have to be prescribed. It makes sense to make riskreducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are l 1 free of charge． It would cost less than 5 pence per 1 2 一 not much different to a sachet of sugar.” Dr Francis said． When people engage in risky behaviours like driving or smoking, they’re encouraged to take 13 that lower their risk, 1ike 14 a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters. Taking a statin is a rational way of 1 5 some of the risks of eating a fatty meal． 1． A change B charge C chain D chance 2． A trust B decide C suggest D calculate 3． A number B amount C volume D product 4． A frequency B treatment C diagnosis D risk 5． A severe B enough C weak D active 6． A buying B preparing C eating D cooking 7． A unhealthy B strong C different D doubtful 8． A examination B suffering C determination D possibility 9． A degree B dimension C angle D range 10． A use B hate C reject D like 11． A transported B provided C preserved D convened 12． A cook B patient C customer D visitor 1 3． A measures B care C advantages D turns 14． A buying B wearing C cleaning D changing 1 5． A increasing B finding C lowering D taking 答案與題解 ： 1. B 本文介紹說，吃漢堡包等快餐食品容易引發(fā)心臟病，而服用 statin 能降低心臟病發(fā)作的 風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，一正一負(fù)正好抵消。 statin 價(jià)格便宜，文章建議快餐店像免費(fèi)供應(yīng)調(diào)味品那樣免費(fèi)供 應(yīng) statin0 free of charge 是固定搭配，意為 “免費(fèi) ”。選擇 charge 是對(duì)的。 2.
