32.【答案】[A] a sustained species
【解析】题干问的是“濒危物种名单(Red List)”意味着人类怎么样了?我们根据“IUCN”和“Red List”很容易定位到第三段。首段说的是几十年前至今人们对未来所持的态度,第二段出现转折,表明目前人们对于未来的危机意识加重。第三段再次转折,表示第二段中人们所持态度是错误的,即“人类未来不会有太大的生存危机”,并且在此段首句表明观点后,用各种信息去论证和支持这一观点。“Red List”很显然也是用来说明这个观点的,并且指出人类这个物种是widely distributed,adaptable,currently increasing,说的都是人类进化积极的一面。A选项说:濒危物种名单意味着人类是可以持久生存的物种,显然是正确选项。
33.【答案】[D] Our Immediate future is hard to conceive.
【解析】段落推断题。由本题的题干可以锁定本题的答案在文章的第五段。该段首句为段落中心句,“与思考眼前的未来相比,对如此之长的时间跨度进行思考似乎更为容易”,反过来思考也就是说,眼前的未来更难思考,符合D选项含义“我们眼前的未来很难去设想”。A选项“Arc 帮助缩小了未来学研究的范围”,该选项在文中出现在该段的最后一句话“这就是为什么我们可以发行Arc这样一个致力于研究近期未来的全新出版物”,和题目含义有很大出入,故排除。B选项“技术为社会问题提供了解决方法”,段中并未提到。C选项“对科幻小说的兴趣与日俱增”,该段中虽在第二句提到科幻小说家,但并未提及对科幻小说的兴趣,故排除。正确答案为D项“Our immediate future is hard to conceive”。
34.【答案】[C] draw onour experience from the past
【解析】段落细节题。由本题的题干可以锁定本题的答案在倒数第二自然段第二句,“As so often , the past holds the key to thefuture . ”此题就是考查对这句话的理解,“ 未来是掌握过去的关键。”由此确定正确答案为B。选项A 、C、D 与题干无关,在原文中无直接体现,也不能归纳得出,故排除 。
35.【答案】[C] TheEver-bright Prospects of Mankind
【解析】全文的主旨题。考查考生对全文主题的把握。通观全文,我们可发现作者对未来是十分看好的,尤其在文章最后一段最后一句“But we are now knowledgeable enough to reducemany of the risks that threatened the existence of earlier humans, and toimprove the lot of those to come. ”作者直接借助这句话重申主题。由此,本题正确答案应既包含“未来”,也应能体现出作者对未来的态度。确定选项C为正确答案。选项A错在无中生有,全文当中对于未来,并无体现出对于其的不确定;本文讲的是人类对于未来的看法,而不是讲人类的进化史,因此B错误;D选项过于笼统,并未体现出作者的乐观态度,因此不对。

36.【答案】 overstepped the authority offederal immigration law。
【解析】事实细节题。principles that federal lawsprecede state laws are noncontroversial are noncontroversial。说明联邦法律高于州的法律是无可争辩的。答案选项they“overstepped the authority offederal immigration law。”---他们(亚利桑那州的法案)逾越了联邦法案。就是对文中这句话的反义改写。Overstep 为同义替换原文中的intrude, authority 同义替换了privileged powers。
属于同义置换。
37.【答案】States’ legitimate role in immigrationenforcement。州政府在移民[微博]法案实施中的合法地位。
【解析】第四段主要说明了,州警察依然可以核实移民的法律地位。国会设想joint federal-state immigrationenforcement联合实施移民法案。同时,encourages state officers to share information andcooperate with federal colleagues。国会鼓励州警察与联邦同事分享信息以及相互合作。其他选项的withhold,independence,intervention文中也没有提到。属于过度推断。
38.【答案】(Stood infavor of the states)
【解析】第五段最后一句:唯一的最主要的反对来自法官Antonino Scalia, 这个法官“defense” 是支持州的权利的,“going back to”可追溯到Alien and Sedition Acts,证明这个法案是支持州的权利的。
39.【答案】(outweightsthat held by the states。)
联邦政府的权利大过州的实施权利
【解析】第六段The White House 认为亚利桑那州的法律跟白宫的法律实施权利冲突。In effect后面表达的是重点:如果这些州的法律跟它有冲突的话,白宫声明它有权利宣布其它州的法律无效。
40.【答案】(TheAdministration is dominant over immigration issues。)
(政府在移民问题上占据着主导地位)
【解析】本段第一句话,联邦政府确实有一些exclusively(专门地)权利,比如控制居民以及边界。这就暗示了移民问题上,政府当局是具有主导权利的。
Part B
41.【答案】G (These issues all have root causes in human behavior.。。)
【解析】此题可以通过上下文的衔接和代词指代来确定答案。空格前一句谈到“这种巨大的能源不是当今全球问题的主要影响因素,这些问题包括气候变化、安全、可持续发展和健康问题”,空后谈到“人类有必要的农业技术工具来消除饥饿”,空格处应该填入的选项可以连接前后句的内容,既包括谈及到全球问题,又谈及到解决问题的选项只有G项。该项首句提到的these issues即指代空前所提及的全球问题,以及该项第二句的climate change举例说明即是空前所列出的问题之一,并且该项提及解决气候变化的问题,很好的启示了下文。
42.【答案】C (Despite these factors.。。)
【解析】本题可以通过连贯性原则和代词指代来确定答案。上段末句提到“问题也带有社会因素:对食物的组织和分配,财产和财富”,空格后谈到“这是一种耻辱,社会应该抓住机会提升它在真实世界中的影响”,并且应用了社会科学家的话语来表明应该采取行动,即:上段末句提到的问题,空前谈到存在问题,那么接下来应该解决问题,但是空后谈到这是一种耻辱,然后纠正应该解决问题,所以空格处应该承上启下,表达没有解决问题这个含义,因此C项“尽管存在这些因素,很多社会科学家不愿意解决此问题”即为正确选项,该项中these factors指代上段末句提到的社会因素,而“很多科学家不愿意解决此问题”就是下文提及的this。
43.【答案】B (However, the numbers are still small.。。)
【解析】本题可以通过原词复现和逻辑关系来确定答案。空前一句讲到“ the number of papers including.....have increased rapidly .。。”,紧接着在选项B中也出现了“the number”,属于原词复现。从逻辑关系的角度来看,选项B有一个明显的转折词“however”,这说明其表达的含义与空前信息相反,该选项提到“the numbers are still small”(数量非常小),空前信息是“the number ... increased rapidly”(数量增长非常迅速),两者在语意上构成了明显的转折关系。所以正确答案为B。
44.【答案】D (During the late 1990s.。。)
【解析】本题设在段落中间,可以通过段落一致性代词指代来确定答案。该段第一句提到:“The problem is not necessarily the amount of availablefunding”,其表达的含义是:事情的问题不是可用资金的数目。那接下来要讲的内容一定和资金有关系。空后出现了代词“this is an adequate amount”其含义是:这个资金数目是足够的。那么this指代的内容一定和adequate amount相关,而选项D的题干是“nationalspending varied from 4% to 25%”,其表述的内容正是资金的总量。因此选项D为正确答案。
45.【答案】E (The idea is to force social to integrate.。。)
【解析】本题设空在段落中间,应瞻前顾后地依据连贯性原则确定答案。空前的信息是指欧盟提议取消了之前设定的专门投资支持社会科学家的专栏项目,其目的不是为了忽略社会科学家,而是完全相反,即文章中的“complete opposite”,根据语意衔接,接下来会说明欧盟这一做法的真正目的,并且这一目的对于社会科学家一定是积极的。选项E中的the idea指代空前出现的“it was proposed that.。。”,即欧盟的提案。除此之外,空后提到了collaborative endeavors,与选项E中的短语integrate with构成了同义替换。空后信息中的global problems与选项E中的health and demographic change, food security, ...and secure societies构成上下义的关系,这也是解题的一道线索,因此,正确答案为选项E。

Emerging from the cartoon is an eye-catching scene that a mass ofgraduates are at a critical turning point on the way to the future. A varietyof choices, such as finding a job, going further education or abroad, and doingpioneering work, lie in front of them。
The implication echoed by this cartoon can besummarized as a philosophic topic in our daily life:the success of a man is directly related to thechoice made by himself. Nevertheless, I cherish a belief that we can not tellwhether the selection is good or not, and as long as we adhere to our decisionsuccess will be realized step by step. Although making choice is essential tohelp determine the direction of our way, judged from the personal aspect, persistencefunctions as an indispensable driving force to keep up our spirit and to assistus to fulfill our study and work. However, some people, pacing up and down, are not industrious and tryto find a short-cut success. In fact, only those who are hard-working and braveenough to encounter obstacles of all sorts are most likely to reach the summitof success。
It occurs to many that the most fundamental thing to success is making agood choice. But I recommend that graduates as well as all the citizens shouldstruggle to make their choice be a reality。
