Passage 1
Directions: Read the following text form which five sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences （A—G） the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text （41-45)。 There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use。 Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET。

In 2009， the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It is difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat。 41 Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS， malaria (疟疾） and TB combined。
The UN estimates that almost two-thirds of the world’s hungry people are in Asia, which is of
course the world`s most populous continent. 42 Although this region has a much lower population than Asia， it has the highest percentage of hungry people。 Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don’t have enough to eat。
There are many reasons for world hunger。 They include wars, droughts， floods and the overuse of farming land. 43 Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason is, quite simple， poverty - which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.
Although many people make the obvious point out that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around。
44 In the last 50 years， global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population and there are of course many areas of the world where people generally have more than enough food. 45 The answer to world hunger, therefore， may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world。 Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.
[A］ The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food， but its distribution。
［B］ More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa。
[C］ All these factors affect food production。
[D] It takes the effort of every country to fight against world hunger.
[E］ In those places, obesity is far bigger problem than hunger。
［F] Those places need far more food than they actually get.
[G］ By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of not having enough to eat。
【解析】
首先,大致浏览一下选项，看选项的时候，一要看选项的意思，二要对选项出现的位置进行一定的推断。[A］ The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food， but its distribution. “这
个基本问题好像并不是食物短缺,而是食物分配。 "通过这个 not…but…结构，我们可以推
断这个句子之前可能提到“食物短缺” ，为了引出另外一个原因“食物分配",才写此句话，
起到承上启下的作用.[B] More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa. “超过四分之一的人口
居住在撒哈拉以南的非洲。” “超过四分之一”这是一个数字概念，数字概念属于文章的一般
性细节，因此，这句话可能会出现在描述饥饿人口分布时候的一句事实性的描述语言。[C]
All these factors affect food production. “所有的因素都影响着食物的生产。"这句话的作用是
承接上文，上文中一定列举了好多因素.[D] It takes the effort of every country to fight against
world hunger. “每个国家需要努力与世界性饥饿问题做斗争。” 这句话讲的是问题解决措施，
问题解决措施不会出现在文章的前部分，一般会出现在文章后面几段。[E］ In those places,
obesity is far bigger problem than hunger。 “在那些地方,肥胖比饥饿问题要大得多。"In those
places 这三个词汇,说明前面可能提及了某些地方.［F] Those places need far more food than
they actually get. “那些地方实际得到的食物不多，需要更多的食物。" 这句话说的是食物
需求的问题，位置难以判断，往后看.[G］ By the end of this year, more than 35 million people
will have died as a result of not having enough to eat。 “到今年年底,超过 35 万的人因为饥饿而死亡.”By the end of this year 这个几个词说明,此话之前一定出现了一个年份;另外，此句话是一句描述世界饥饿问题现状的话语。
阅读完选项,了解意思之后,带着初步的判断，开始阅读文章。
41。 答案：G。第一句话，出现了一个年份 2009，因此［G]选项的可能性很大，将其带入看一
下前后文是否连贯.前两句话“2009 年，世界饥饿人口首次达到 10 亿人。世界上平均七个
人中就有一个人没有足够的食物,这个事实不难让人感到震惊。 ”这两句话,用数字描述世
界饥饿问题的现状，[G]选项也是一句描述饥饿现状的话，用在这里语意顺畅.因此,答案
是 G。
42。 答案：B。前一句说“联合国估计世界上三分之二的饥饿人口在人口最多的亚洲。" 后一
句又说“尽管这一地区人口远远低于亚洲，但是饥饿人口的比例最高。” 很显然，空白处提
到了另外一个地区，与亚洲进行比较,所有选项中只有［B］选项提及到了地区。因此,答案
是 B。
43. 答案：C。前一句“世界饥饿问题的原因有很多，包括战争、干旱、洪水以及对耕地的过
度使用。” 这句话，列举了很多原因，[C]选项代入后，起到是承接上文的作用.
44。 答案： A。 前一句“尽管很多人明确地指出， 如果世界人口少一些的话， 会缓解饥饿问题。但是很少有人认为是没有足够的食物供分配。 ” 这一句否定了食物的短缺, 提出了食物分配，[A］选项正好符合，因此，答案是 A。
45. 答案：E.前一句“在过去的 50 年里，全球食物的生产速度要快于人口增长的速度，世
界上很多地区,食物的供应远超出基本需求。” [E]［F］两个选项都出现了 those places，但是
［F]与前一句话的意思南辕北辙，[E]在语义上符合前一句话.因此，答案选择 E。

Passage 2
Directions: Read the following text form which five sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences (A-G） the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text (41-45）。 There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET。

“Any apples today？" Effie asked cheerfully at my window. I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo. On credit， of course. 41 “Pay me whenever you like,” said Effie, climbing back into her truck.
All pretense of payment was dropped when our funds， food and fuel decreased to alarming lows. Effie came often, always bringing some gift： a jar of peaches or some firewood. There were other generosities。 Our baby was not doing well, so Effie financed my wife`s trip to New York for consultation with specialist。
42 Her income， derived from investments she had made while running an interior decorating shop， had never exceeded $200 a month， which she supplemented by selling her apples。 But she always managed to help someone poorer。
Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time。 She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year。 “Here， darling,” I said，“is what I owe you。” “Don`t give it to me all at once，”she said。 “ 43 ” I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt。
The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died a few weeks later. 44 But a curious thing began to happen。
Whenever I saw a fellow human in financial trouble, I was moved to help him. I can‘t afford
to do this always， but in the ten years since Effie‘s death， I have indirectly repaid my debt to her。
The oddest part of the whole affair is that people whom I help often help others later on. 45 So the account can never be marked closed， for Effie‘s love will go on in hearts that have never known her.
［A] At that time， it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled.
[B］ Give your help to those in greater need。
［C] Effie was not a rich woman.
［D］ Effie worked diligently all her lift.
[E］ Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then.
［F］ By now, the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times。
［G］ Give it back as I gave it to you---a little at a time.
【解析】
41. 答案：E.前一句“On credit, of course。 当然，记账了!”，可以推断作者很穷，选项中只
有[E]选项，才是表达作者没有钱的句子，起到承上启下的作用。
42。 答案：C。第三段第一句设空,这一句很有可能是一句主旨句，语言凝练。阅读后面几
句话意思, 描述都是 Effie 的收入来源、 经济情况. 只有选项［C］符合。 意为“艾菲并不富有。 ”
43. 答案：G。前一句“Don`t give it to me all at once 不要一次性都给我。”可以判断,Effie 不
让作者一次性还清债务，而是让其一点一点的还。因此，只有选项[G]是符合的.
44. 答案：F。前一句“The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died
a few weeks later.” 事实上,我无法还清债务了，因为她几周后就去世了。 ，从这一句可以判断,没等还清钱，艾菲已经去世了,剩下选项中只有［F］是最符合的。
45。 答案：A。前文说“整个事情中最奇怪的是，我帮过的人也去帮助别人.” 后文说“所以账
目永远处理不完”，剩下选项中只有［A] “在那时，我的债务似乎永远不会结束。”可以起到承
上启下的作用。
