1、紅色為重點(diǎn) 藍(lán)色為次要 黑色為最次，但三篇都要求會(huì)背 +第十五篇 “Liquefaction” Key to Much of Japanese Earthquake Damage The massive subduction zone1 earthquake in Japan caused a significant level of soil "liquefaction"2 that has surprised researchers with its 1 severity, a new analysis shows. "Weve seen localized3

2、 examples of soil liquefaction as extreme as this before, but the distance and 2 of damage in Japan were unusually severe," said Scott Ashford, a professor of geotechnical engineering4 at Oregon State University5. "Entire structures were tilted and sinking into the sediments," Ashford said. "T

6、 continued for several more minutes," he said. "And it was clear that younger sediments, and especially areas built on 8 filled ground, are much more vulnerable." The data provided by analyzing the Japanese earthquake, researchers said, should make it possible to improve the understanding of this s

Oregon State University：俄勒岡州立大學(xué)，建校于1858年，位于美國(guó)俄勒岡州科瓦利斯，全校設(shè)11個(gè)學(xué)院，80多個(gè)專業(yè)，尤以農(nóng)科和工程最為突出。2008年俄勒岡州立大學(xué)的核能工程專業(yè)在全美大學(xué)中排名第9名。 6.

14、water, drain and gas pipelines：自來水管道、排水管道和煤氣管道。"water, drain and gaspipelines” 即“water pipelines, drain pipelines and gas pipelines"。 7. some degree of soil liquefaction：某種程度的土壤液化 8. to reconsider the extent of liquefaction damage possibly occurring in situations such as this：本句的意思是：重新審視類似這次（持續(xù)時(shí)間長(zhǎng)

15、的）地震中因土壤液化而可能造成的毀壞的規(guī) 模。 9. recovery efforts：重建工作 10. that well learn things from what happened in Japan：我們將從日本的地震中學(xué)到很多東西。該句是同位語(yǔ)從句，說出前半句no doubt的內(nèi)容。 11. that：that引導(dǎo)的是定語(yǔ)從句，修辭前半句中的things。 12.suspect：被懷疑對(duì)象。文中指的是那些疑似危險(xiǎn)的土壤。 練習(xí)： 1.A．internal B. different C. difficult D.

16、widespread 2.A．volume B. length C. extent D. width 3.A．function B. repair C. build D. remove 4.A．durability B. strength C. ability D. property 5.A．a(chǎn)scend B. compact C. collapse D. r

19、14.A．prevent B. accelerate C. predict D. detect 15.A．styles B. sites C. costs D. standards 答案與題解： 1.D前文說到日本的俯沖帶地震是massive（巨大的），而且砂土液化到達(dá)一個(gè)significant level。根據(jù)上述描述，選widespread（分布廣泛的）修飾severity是正確的。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)與severity搭配后，意思接不上。 2.C 本句由but連接并列的

20、兩個(gè)分句組成。第一個(gè)分句說以前也發(fā)生過地震引發(fā)的砂土液化的現(xiàn)象，但涉及范圍較小。第二個(gè)分句通過but語(yǔ)氣一轉(zhuǎn)，說這次地震造成的破壞是罕見的。很顯然，選extent(程度)與distance（距離，范圍）合用說明破壞的程度和范圍是符合上下文的意思的。 3.A 在“The shifts in soil destroyed water, sewer and gas pipelines, crippling the utilities and infrastructure these communities need to…”中，"these communities need to...”是定語(yǔ)從句

21、，指代utilities和infrastructure的關(guān)系代詞which在定語(yǔ)從句中起賓語(yǔ)作用，被省略了。need 后面的動(dòng)詞不定式的邏輯主語(yǔ)是which，也就是utilities and infrastructure。從意思上看，這 些社區(qū)需要這些公用事業(yè)設(shè)備和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施起功能作用（function)。選function是對(duì)的。其他選項(xiàng)都不合適。 4.B 浸了水的砂土，特別是新近的沉積土、沙土等失去的不會(huì)是durability（耐用性）和ability（能力），也不會(huì)是泛泛的property（性質(zhì)），而是strength（強(qiáng)度）。 5.C 浸了水的砂土強(qiáng)度降低或消失。砂土隨水流動(dòng)，就

22、會(huì)引發(fā)建筑物移位（shift）或下沉(sink)。再發(fā)展下去，建筑物就會(huì)倒塌（collapse)。collapse是答案。若選擇ascend（上升）、compact(壓實(shí))或recover（復(fù)原），意思與上文接不上。 6.A 地震持續(xù)的時(shí)間一般為數(shù)十秒。這次日本地震的時(shí)間長(zhǎng)達(dá)5分鐘。所以本題要填入的詞應(yīng)該是shorter，說明大多數(shù)地震的持續(xù)時(shí)間比它短。 7.C 從意思上看，選how是正確的。when structures、what structures或which structures意思明顯不通。 8.D 第三段第二句出現(xiàn)“particularly recent sediment…"

23、。recent sediment浸水后就失去了強(qiáng)度。這提示了本題要選recently，因?yàn)榻⒃谛陆罹偷耐寥郎系慕ㄖ锸亲钜资艿絺Φ摹? 9.B 分析日本大地震得出的數(shù)據(jù)不會(huì)令科學(xué)家獲得有關(guān)soil development（土壤發(fā)展）、soil formation（土壤形成）soil composition（土壤構(gòu)成）這些方面的知識(shí)。若選phenomenon，意思就是科學(xué)家的研究分析有助于他們了解到土壤浸水后的這類現(xiàn)象，以便做好防備，對(duì)付 未來可能發(fā)生的同類現(xiàn)象。上下文意思很連貫，因此phenomenon是正確的選項(xiàng)。 1O.D 選unless、until或after都不合邏輯。本題

24、句子的意思是：重建工作首先要清理廢墟，這樣地震現(xiàn)場(chǎng)就被破壞了。所以科學(xué)家要趕在重建工作開始之前收集好地震資料。before是答案。 11.C 本句的意思是：科學(xué)家無疑會(huì)從日本大地震中學(xué)到不少東西，從而有助于減低今后發(fā)生類似的地震時(shí)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有events合適。similar events指的是“類似的地震事 件”。若選findings（調(diào)查結(jié)果）、locations（地點(diǎn)）或sources（來源），句子的意思就不對(duì)。 12.B 本句解釋“young”這個(gè)詞在地質(zhì)學(xué)中的含義。句中的those指代sediments。"young" sediments指那些年代少于或略超過一萬年的s

25、ediments。deposit是“沉積”，與句子意思匹配，是答案。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)，詞義離題很遠(yuǎn)，只是詞形與deposit有點(diǎn)相似，起干擾作用而已，它們不是答案。 13.A 上一段說，younger soils是非常脆弱的。本句的anything指的是soils。哪些地方的soils是疑似高危對(duì)象呢？如果指soils from/inside/over river and old flood plains是不合常理的。正確的選擇應(yīng)該是near，靠近河流和原洪泛區(qū)的土壤才是危險(xiǎn)地區(qū)。因此near是答案。 14.A 加固危橋的目的是為了防止坍塌。選項(xiàng)prevent是答案。 15.D 在3月11日

26、的日本大地震中，震區(qū)的建筑物傾斜、下沉，但沒有倒塌。建筑上的什么因素起到了防塌的作用呢？當(dāng)然不會(huì)是construction styles（建筑風(fēng)格）、construction sites（建 筑工地）或construction facilities（建筑設(shè)備）。日本的construction standards（建筑標(biāo)準(zhǔn)）才是防塌的關(guān)鍵因素。因此standards是答案。 *Free Statins With Fast Food Could Neutralize Heart Risk Fast food outlets could provide statin drugs fr

27、et of l so that customers can reduce the heart disease dangers of fatty food, researchers at Imperial College London2 2 in a new study. Statins reduce the 3 of unhealthy "LDL" chotesterol3l in the blood. A wealth of trial data4 has proven them LO be highly effective at loweri

31、statins, which are beneficial to heart health have to be prescribed. It makes sense7 to make risk-reducing statins available just as easily as the unhealthy condiments that are 11 free of charge .It would cost less than 5 pence per 12 -not much different to a sachet of sugar8 , "

32、Dr Francis said. When people engage in risky behaviours like driving or smoking ,they ‘re encouraged to take 13 that lower their risk ,like 14 a seatbelt or choosing cigarettes with filters . Taking a statin is a rational way of 15 some of the risk of eating a fatty meal.

33、 詞匯： statin/’stzetin/n降膽固醇藥物 outlet/lautlit/n銷售點(diǎn) cholesterol/kaIestraul/n膽固醇 offset/ofset，v抵消，補(bǔ)償 cheeseburger/tli:ziba:g/n芝士漢堡包 milkshake/milk[eik/n奶昔 condiment/1kDndimant/n調(diào)味品 sachet/lszetlit/n小袋，小包 rational/r~eranl/ odj合理的 注釋： 1 Fast food outlets could provide statin drugs:句中的could

34、是一種委婉表達(dá)建議的用詞，意為“可以”．2 Imperial College London:帝國(guó)理工學(xué)院。該學(xué)院于1907年由城市和行會(huì)學(xué)校、皇家礦業(yè)學(xué)校 以及皇家科學(xué)學(xué)院合并組成。學(xué)院于2007年7月正式脫離倫敦大學(xué)成為一所獨(dú)立大學(xué)。提供本科和研究生教育，共有四個(gè)學(xué)院，工程學(xué)院、醫(yī)學(xué)院、自然科學(xué)院和生命科學(xué)院 3 LDL cholesterol.低密度脂蛋白膽固醇。LDL是low density lipoprotein（低密度脂蛋白）的縮寫形式。 4 a wealth of trial data：大量的試驗(yàn)數(shù)據(jù)。a wealth of意為“大量的，許多”。 5 American jo

35、urnal of cardiology：美國(guó)心臟病學(xué)雜志 6 French fries：炸薯?xiàng)l 7 It makes sense...：make sense意為“說得通，合情合理”。 8 a sachet of sugar:-小袋糖。快餐店般備有袋糖，供飲咖啡或熱奶的顧客免費(fèi)取用。 練習(xí)： 1 A change B charge C chain D chance 2 A trust B decide C suggest D calculate 3 A number B amount C vo

38、 C advantages D turns 14 A buying B wearing C cleaning D changing 15 A increasing B finding C lowering D taking 答案與題解： 1、B 本文介紹說，吃漢蝸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。statln價(jià)格便宜，文章建議陜餐店像免費(fèi)供應(yīng)調(diào)味品那樣免費(fèi)供 應(yīng)statln．free of charge是同定搭配，意為“免費(fèi)”．選擇charge

39、是對(duì)的。 2、C 本題要選suggest，因?yàn)槠渌齻€(gè)選項(xiàng)在意思上都不合適、此外，本句主句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用了could( provide)，委婉地含有“建議”的意思。所以suggest是個(gè)不一的選擇二 3、 B 與降低unhealthy “LDL” cholesterol搭配的一定是amount（量），而不可能是number （數(shù)字）、volume（體積）或product（乘積） 4、D從上下文判斷，要降低(lower)的當(dāng)然是risk，lower frequency（降低頻率）、lower treatment（降低治療）或lower diagnosis（降低診斷）與上下文的意思都不匹配

40、。 5、B 本句表達(dá)的意思是：Dr Darrel Francis在他的論文中說，經(jīng)過計(jì)算．一粒stain降低心臟病發(fā)作的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)足以抵消吃一個(gè)奶酪漢堡包和喝一杯奶昔所增加的患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)一所以本題的答案是enough。 6、 C 顧客不可能在快餐店里preparing cheeseburger或cooking cheeseburger，而buying cheeseburger不會(huì)增加心臟病風(fēng)險(xiǎn)：所以，只有eating cheeseburger才合乎上下文的意思。 7、A 從上下文判斷，被cut out（去除）的effects -定是unhealthy effects，所以，unhealt

41、hy effects是本題的答案。 8、D 本句中的in terms of意為“就……而言”，要與后半句“一正一負(fù)相互抵消”的意思相匹配，所以只能是“就患心臟病的可能性而言”。possibiliry是答案。 9、 A 本句的意思與第五題的意思相同，即statin降低心臟病發(fā)作的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)與快餐增加的心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)在程度(degree)上大致相當(dāng)。如果選擇其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)，意思變成了，“尺寸 ( dimension)f‘、角度(angle)上或范圍（range)上大致相當(dāng)”，就說不通了。 10、D 填詞所在的句子的意思告訴我們，具有諷刺意味的一點(diǎn)是：順客可以隨心所欲地免費(fèi)享用不健康的調(diào)味品。as

42、one likes是固定用法，意為“隨某人所愿，隨某人所喜歡”。所以，like是答案。其余二個(gè)選項(xiàng)用在本句中都不合適。 11、 B transported（運(yùn)輸）、preserved（保存）或converted（轉(zhuǎn)換）填于句子中，意思都不順。只有填入provided（提供）符合句意。provided是答案。 12.、C 到快餐店去就餐的人當(dāng)然是customer。 13、 A為了降低開車和吸煙的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，人們被鼓勵(lì)要采取一些安全措施。作者借此說明為了降低食用快餐的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，我們也要采取措施。根據(jù)這層意思，選擇measures是正確的。take measure的意思是‘采取措施”。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)

43、都不合適：take care是“注意，小心”．take advantage是“利用”，Lake turns是“輪流，依次”。 14、 B本題很明顯要選Wearing，因?yàn)樯舷挛牡囊馑际恰跋瞪习踩珟А眀uying a seatbelt. cleaning a seatbelt 和I changing a seatbelt都與上下文的意思相去太遠(yuǎn)。 15、 C通篇文章都在闡述Statin能降低患心臟病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn).所以，lowering(降低)是答案。 *Chicken Soup for the Soul：Comfort Food Fights Loneliness Mashed p

44、otatoes, macaroni and cheese, may be bad for your arteries． 1 according to a study in Psychological Science, they’re good for your heart and 2 ．The study focuses on “comfort food” and how it makes people feel． "For me 3 ,food has always played a big role in my family,” says Jordan Troisi, a graduate

55、r 13． A accident B harm C experience D model 14． A eating B exchanging C buying D keeping l 5．A expressions B estimation C cooperation D connections 答案與題解： l. A本句前半句說土豆泥、通心粉等對(duì)血管有害（ bad) ，后半句說這些食物對(duì)心臟有利 (good) 。很明顯，前半句與后半句意思相反，所以要選轉(zhuǎn)折連接詞but加以連接。 2. C 根據(jù)常識(shí)判斷，吃土豆泥不會(huì)對(duì)persona

56、lity （性格） .movement （移動(dòng)）或will （意志力）產(chǎn)生有利影響。隨后的文章，多處提到吃爽心食品（ favorite food ）有助于排解孤獨(dú)感。所以選emotions 是正確的。 3.D本題的答案是personally0 For me personally （就我個(gè)人而言）與下文的意思很連貫。 privately （私下地）、usefully （有用地）或awfully （可怕地）與下文的意思搭不上，所以不會(huì)是答案。 4. B 本題的答案是looked at0?！發(fā)ooked at non-human things” 相當(dāng)于“studied （研究） nonhuman t

57、hings”，與上下文的意思很匹配。looked for（尋找）、looked after （照顧）和looked up（查找）與下文的意思搭配不上。 5.A本句的意思是：人們?yōu)榱伺沤夤陋?dú)感，常常把自己和電視劇、流行歌曲歌手等等聯(lián)系起來。選項(xiàng)中有四個(gè)形容詞，應(yīng)該選哪一個(gè)形容詞去修飾TV shows 呢？應(yīng)該選褒義的形容詞： favorite （喜愛的）或trustful ( 可信任的）。但對(duì)電視劇來說談不上信任的問題。favorite 最合理，是本題答案。 6. C 上一句說到，人們?yōu)榱伺沤夤陋?dú)感，常常把自己和喜愛的電視劇、流行歌曲歌手等等聯(lián)系起來。于是Troisi 和Gabriel 想，通過

58、吃爽心食品讓他們想起親近的人，是不是也能產(chǎn)生同樣的排解孤獨(dú)感的效果呢？四個(gè)介詞中只有by的詞義是“通過”。其余三個(gè)介詞在含義上都不合適。 7.B 選professors（教授）、assistants（助手）或scientists（科學(xué)家）不合常理，科學(xué)家選實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)象時(shí)不會(huì)選他們。participants ( 參與者）是本題的答案。 8.A本題應(yīng)該選group，指每一組的參與者。用class （班級(jí)）, section （部門）或part （部分）在意義上顯然都不合適。 9. D 本段敘述試驗(yàn)的幾個(gè)步驟。第一步要一部分受試者描寫與親人的爭(zhēng)斗，其他受試者寫情感上中性的話題。第二步（文中用then 加

59、以連接）將上述兩組受試者中的每一組再一分為二，一些人描寫吃爽心食品的經(jīng)歷，另一些人描寫吃新食品的經(jīng)歷。接下來應(yīng)該是第三步了。從四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中尋找，只有Finally 最合適，原來第三步就是最后一步了。 1O.D 實(shí)驗(yàn)的最后一步是受試者被要求書面回答10個(gè)問題。complete 是答案。要求他們 remember（記住）、delete （刪除）或rewrite （重寫） questions 都不合乎邏輯。 11. B 與親近的人爭(zhēng)吵會(huì)引發(fā)孤獨(dú)感，但是，一般說來，人們的關(guān)系若是通常處于什么狀態(tài)，通過寫出他們吃爽心食物的經(jīng)歷會(huì)降低他們的孤獨(dú)感呢？一定不會(huì)是sad、shy或angry ，答案應(yīng)該是secu

60、re （穩(wěn)定的）。 12.D 修飾essays 的所有格代詞在人稱與數(shù)上要與they 一致，所以their 是答案。 13. C “eating food with family and friends” 是一種experience （經(jīng)歷），不會(huì)是一個(gè)accident （事故）、harm （危害）或model （）。很明顯， experience 是本題的答案。 14.A 文章中幾次提到吃爽心食物有助于緩解孤獨(dú)感。所以本題選eating 是很自然的。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)， exchanging （交換）、buying （買）或keeping （保留）若填入句子中，與后面的賓語(yǔ)chicken soup

61、 in the lab 連用，意思上說不通。 15.D 本題的答案是connections。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)在意思上都不合適。 譯文：心靈雞湯：爽心食品排解孤獨(dú)感 　　土豆泥，通心粉和奶酪可能對(duì)動(dòng)脈血管有害，但是，據(jù)《心理科學(xué)》一項(xiàng)研究表明，它們對(duì)心臟有利并且能抑制不利情緒。其研究對(duì)象是爽心食品，目的是探究人們對(duì)爽心食品的感覺。 　　“就我而言，食品在我的家庭一直是比較關(guān)注的問題”，Jordan Troisi如是說。他是布法羅大學(xué)的研究生并且是本次研究的首席作者。該研究出自于他與Shira Gabriel合作的一個(gè)研究項(xiàng)目。它關(guān)注的是可能影響人類情感的物質(zhì)的東西。有些人用諸如綁定喜愛的電視節(jié)目

62、，和流行音樂歌手建立虛擬的關(guān)系或?yàn)g覽親人的照片來排遣孤獨(dú)。Troisi和Gabriel想知道爽心食品是否能通過使人們想到他們最親近和最愛的人，同樣達(dá)到排遣孤獨(dú)的效果。 　　在一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)中，為使參與者感覺孤獨(dú)，研究者讓他們用六分鐘的時(shí)間描寫一次與最親近的人吵架的經(jīng)歷。而要求另外一些人寫一個(gè)情感中性的作業(yè)。然后，每一組的一些人描寫食用爽心食品的經(jīng)歷；而其他的人描寫食用新食品的經(jīng)歷。最后，研究者讓參與者書面回答關(guān)于孤獨(dú)程度的問題。 　　描寫與親人吵架的經(jīng)歷使人感到孤獨(dú)。但是，一般來說，人們的關(guān)系若處于穩(wěn)定狀態(tài)，通過描寫他們吃爽心食品的經(jīng)歷會(huì)排遣一些孤獨(dú)感。Troisi說道：“我們已經(jīng)得出這樣的結(jié)論：爽心食品與我們的親人密切相連，想一想或之后真正食用這種食品會(huì)提醒人們注意到他們的親人。”在所有關(guān)于爽心食品的文章中，許多人都描述了與家人和朋友共同進(jìn)餐的經(jīng)歷。 　　在另外一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)中，在實(shí)驗(yàn)喝雞湯令人想到和其他人的關(guān)系，但是，這只有在他們把雞湯認(rèn)為是爽心食品的時(shí)候才會(huì)發(fā)生。參與者被要求回答這個(gè)問題和許多其他問題是在這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)很久以前，因此他們不會(huì)記得。 　　“在每一個(gè)人的日常生活中，都會(huì)經(jīng)歷緊張，而這往往與人際關(guān)系有關(guān)，爽心食品可能是排遣孤獨(dú)的便利食品”。Troisi如是說。
