参考答案和解析

正确答案： 1.B 上文提到的unprecedented“史无前例的”,crisis“危机”和emergency“非常时刻;紧急情况”均暗示了问题的严重程度。severity“严重”,符合句意。quality“特性;质量;才能”。intensity“强度;强烈;紧张”。density“密度”。
2.D 需填词引导名词性从句作主语,且在从句中作mean的宾语,因此只有what符合。
3.D play a game为固定搭配,表示“做游戏”。
4.A 文章首段首句即指出作者的身份是“父母”,因此这里用As“作为”。
5.A 上面提到在这里呼吸就是拿自己的生命开玩笑,而此处又指出孩子每分钟呼吸的次数更多,因此这种情况应是令父母感到“惊恐”或“担忧”。terrorize“使惊恐”,符合句意。fear“害怕;敬畏”,通常用人做主语。interrupt“中断,打断;妨碍”,不合文意。suffer“遭受,忍受;经历”。
6.B 由第5题的分析可知,孩子因每分钟呼吸的次数更多,所以其危险更大。at higher risk意为“冒更大的危险”。
7.A 从We are foreigners and we are among the small minority that can afford to leave.可以推断冒号之后的内容是“离开这座城市”,因此与该内容相符的应是recommendation“建议”。reference“参考;涉及,提及”。diagnosis“诊断”。comment“评论,意见”。
8.B 选项中只有abandon“放弃,遗弃”可以表示离开这座城市。resign指放弃工作或职位。forbid“禁止;妨碍,阻止”。prohibit“禁止,禁止”。
9.C 可与abandon the city连用的是permanently“永久地,永远地”。consistently“一致地”。persistently“坚持地,固执地”。unconditionally“无条件地”。
10.C 从此处的for us以及后面的for our boys可知这里是将对父母的影响和对孩子的影响进行对比。后面对孩子时much longer,因此此处应是与之相对的temporary“暂时的”,指持续有限的可计时间,着重暂时的存在、应用或效应。意思是:他们面临的危险只是暂时的。transient也可表示“暂时的”,但其强调的是停留或延续的时间短。momentary指“瞬间即逝的”。instant“立即的;紧急的”。
11.D 上句指出对父母而言危险是暂时的,此句则是他们不能忍受为孩子们感到的害怕,前后句有转折关系,因此用however。
12.B 选项A、B、D与on连用分别表示:decide on“决定;选定”。depend on“依赖于;取决于”。concentrate on“全神贯注于,集中精力于”。首句指出对数以百万的人来说他们没得选择,因此这里的意思是:墨西哥当地人的生活、工作和未来都取决于这个城市。用depend on最能体现出这种依赖关系。revolve around“围绕…转动,以…为中心”。
13.A be desperate for为固定搭配,表示“为…不顾一切,极度渴望”。fanatic“狂热的,盲信的”。insane“疯狂的,极愚蠢的”。furious“激烈的,狂怒的;喧闹的”。以上三项均不符合句意。
14.C practically“实际上,几乎”。句意:当地人的全家在街头干活,并且几乎是住在街头。fundamentally“本质地,根本上”。literally“逐字地,照字面地”。essentially“本质上,本来”。
15.B a familiar sight说明后面描述的是同一时间发生的一幕场景,as“正当,当时”,引导的从句与主句构成对照关系。句意:当父母在停车灯处叫卖时,孩子们却在长满草的公路分界处玩耍,呼吸着汽车尾气。
16.A 从冒号之后的内容:我们不会在这待很长时间,以免让孩子形成印象以为天空就只是灰色的。可知作者是因为自己不能让孩子有更好的居住环境而自责,guilty“有罪的,内疚的”,符合句意。reasonable“合理的,通情达理的”。rational“合理的,理性的”。conscientious“认真的,尽责的”。
17.A 需填词之后是thaw skies are colored only gray“天空只能是灰色的”,impression“印象”符合对这句话的描述。form the impression意为“形成印象”。suppression“抑制,镇压;压抑”。depression“沮丧;不景气;忧愁”。oppression“压迫;镇压;压迫”。
18.B imply“意味,暗含”。句意:紧急意味着不寻常。supply“供给,提供;补充”。comply“遵照;顺从;答应”。designate“指定;指派;标出”。
19.C or表示并列的选择,后面是“误导我们使我们相信自己能适应”,由此可直接判断答案是adapt to“适应”。句意:人对不可改变的东西要适应。feel like“想要,感到好似”。dedicate to“献身,把(时间、精力)等用于”。see to“注意;负责;照料”。
20.D mislead…into doing是固定搭配,表示“误导…做…”。
