7、than 40 years of weather data __4__ the world. They focused on temperature differences between daytime highs and nighttime __5__.

8、 of these sites, __8__ average DTR for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday was different from the average DTR for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the researchers __9__.

15、eats D. hits 答案与解析 1.B while在此处表示对比,和后面的outside相呼应,故应当用inside。 2.C 气候的变化要用turn(转化;变得)。change后面要加to或into。 3.A 在这里应当用动词, differ from ...“和……不同”。 4.C 考查重叠介词的用法。争辩者们争辩的天气变化数据来自世界各地,所以用from around the world。 5.D 前面用的是daytime highs, 后面要用nighttime lows来进行呼应,所以选D项。 6.B 习惯用法,“被叫做……”要用be called, 由于
16、前面的主语是单数,所以用is called。 7.A 在这里说的是气象站,所以用station。而radio(收音机); room(房间); factors(因素)均不符合题意。 8.D 考查冠词的用法。这里的the average DTR for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday是特指,与后面的the average DTR for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday形成对比。 9.C 争辩人员发觉这个现象是过去的事情,所以用一般过去时。 10.B 考查分数的表达法,分母要用序数词,由于分子是several大于1,所以分母序数词要用
17、复数加s,因此选B项。 11.B 这里要选择一个形容词修饰U.S.,表示“西南方的”,故B项为正确答案。而southwest是名词,意为“西南方”; southwestward是形容词,意为“向西南方的”; southwestwards是副词,意为“向西南”。 12.C weekdays和前面的weekend形成对比,是两者之间的比较,故要用比较级,所以选C项。 13.A weekly每周一次的。 14.D 和前面的情形形成对比,很明显要用instead来表示不干某事,而去做另外的事情。 15.C blame sb. for sth.“因某事而责怪某人”。 16.D the amo
18、unt of“……的量”。 17.D 这里是一个非限制性定语从句,要用which来指代前面整个句子的内容。 18.A close to ...“离……很近”,而closely是副词,意为“接近地”,不符合句意。 19.C 和前面的first形成呼应,用then表示先后挨次。 20.B 表示“刮风”,要用动词blow。 Ⅲ.阅读理解 To become a doctor in the United States, students usually attend four years of medical school after they complete college. Th

25、not responsible for ________. A. supervising students B. treating patients C. carrying out tests D. doing operations 答案与解析 A 细节理解题。由其次段中的“Medical residents treat patients. They carry out tests. They perform operations. They complete records.”可知, A项不包括在其职责之内。 3.Why does the government lim

A. some critics B. some medical professors C. some experienced doctors D. some medical students 答案与解析 D 推理推断题。此处others与many medical residents相呼应。others指住院实习生中不支持缩短工作时间这一举措的那部分, D项与之最为相近。
