     Over 2,000 years ago, Rome was the center of a large empire. The Romans needed a way to move their large armies quickly so that they could protect their huge country. They needed land trade routes. So they joined all the parts of their empire by a network of roads.
     Beginning in 300 B.C., the Romans built roads in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. By A.D. 200, they had built 50,000 miles of almost straight highways.
     To build their fine highways, the Romans began by removing all soft soil. They dug until they reached hard ground. Then they added layers of stone and cement. The most important roads were paved with large, fiat stones. Main Roman roads were sometimes as wide as our three-lane highways.
     To build their roads, the Romans sometimes had to dig tunnels through mountains. They did not have explosives to cut through rocks. They heated the rock with fire and then threw cold water over it. When the rock cracked, they dug it out with hand tools.
     Roman soldiers and slavers built the roads without powerful machines. They had only simple tools, such as shovels and picks. Yet the roads were so well built that they were used for hundreds of years.

10. This passage is mainly about______.

A

[解析] In this passage the word "empire" means______.

C

[解析] Why did the Romans build so many roads?

     Shortly before the end of World War Ⅱ, leaders of many nations, including the United States, decided to form an international organization. It was hoped that nations could discuss their disagreements in this organization instead of fighting over them.
     On April 25, 1945, two hundred representatives from many nations came to San Francisco, California, to make the rules that would govern this organization. After many months of hard work, arguments, and compromises, the United Nations organization was founded. Today thousands of people visit the United Nations headquarters in New York City. They see the large rooms where representatives from about a hundred nations meet to discuss their problems. They find out about the work of the United Nations. Children who visit the United Nations are especially interested in learning about the help given to children. Teams of workers from the United Nations visit countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia to help children who are sick and hungry. They bring food and medicine. They also teach people what doctors have learned about keeping children strong. People who work for the United Nations believe that happy, healthy people are more likely to be friendly to other nations. They believe that helping people will help the world be at peace.

13. Where and when did the preparation for the founding of the United Nations begin?

C

[解析] Where is the headquarters of the United Nations?

C

[解析] The United Nations gives help to______.

fish

[解析] 16-20
    The town in which Mr. Winkler lived was set back from the ocean against a wall of great cliffs, and the air around the houses smelled strongly of fish. One might have supposed that sick fish went up to be dipped in the air. As sick people sometimes go down to be dipped in the sea. There were a few small shops in the town and the harbor handled some shipping, but for the most part the town was less active than the sea. After he finished his lunch, Mr. Winkler usually went for a stroll on the beach. The beach was a desert of heaps of sand and stones tumbling about, and the sea did what it liked. What it liked most was to destroy. It thundered at the town, and thundered at the cliffs, and washed away the coastline.
     As the day declined into afternoon, and the air, which had been quite clear, began to fill with mist, Mr. Winkler's thoughts also seemed to cloud. They raced and mingled in such a hasty fashion that by the time Mr. Winkler finished dinner, after dark, his mind was busily digging in the live red coals of the fireplace. Now a bottle of good wine after dinner does a digger in the coals no harm except that it has a tendency to throw him out of work, but Mr. Winkler, who had been idle for a long time, poured out his last glassful of wine with as complete an appearance of satisfaction as is ever to be found in an elderly gentleman who has reached the end of a bottle.

on the beach

he became hungry

the fireplace

the wine

B

[解析] considering相当于if/when we consider是现在分词作条件或时间状语，类似的动词还有supposing，通常用于句首。因此，B为正确答案。

C

[解析] be asked by sb．是典型的被动语态表示法。译文：人们常常问这样的问题，尤其是那些为太空探险缴税的人。因此，C为正确答案。

A

[解析] result本来是名词，是“结果”的意思。作动词用，是不及物动词。result from意为“起因、由来”，句子主语是果，from的宾语是因。result in则刚好相反，是“导致”的意思，句子主语是因，in的宾语是果。result from意为“由……产生”：result in意为“结果是……”；C项out，of，D项by不能和result构成固定短语。根据题意：直到现在，由太空研究所产生的现实效益包括……。因此，A为正确答案。

B

[解析] 这句话的意思是：通过太空旅行所了解到的知识。要用被动语态的完成式。因此，B为正确答案。

D

[解析] affective意为“感情方面的”；efficient意为“效率高的”。因为上下文都是比较级，由平行结构可推知此处也需用比较级more efficient．因此D为正确答案。

C

[解析] 本句介词by后面的宾语是三个名词短语。improved意为“被改进了的”，与后面两个better构成平行结构。本句大意为：全世界的人们现在都得益于改进了的天气预测法，更好的交流系统……。因此，C为正确答案。

A

[解析] 此处的连接词as表示“当……时候”，主句用将来时态，从句用一般现在时。unless，although，until与表示承接的意义不符。因此，A为正确答案。

D

[解析] and后面的成分应该是不定式，因为此处and连接的并列成分是to measure...and to observe…。原句意为“当从太空所做的观察使得测量地球的能源及观察这些能源利用得是否合理成为可能时，人类就会受益”。故D为正确答案。

C

[解析] increasingly是副词用于句首，表示强调。译文：太空项目将越来越多地帮助我们处理世界的环境问题。故C为正确答案。

D

[解析] of which是定语从句连词，先行词system在从句中作of的宾语，正确语意是man is only a part of the complex system。故D为正确答案。

D

[解析] 本题考查细节。A，B两项明显与原意不符，C项过于宽泛，只有D项符合题意。

A

[解析] 本题考查细节。从文中第四段关于南亚人对时问的认识可知，A项是正确答案。

A

[解析] 从文中第三段倒数第一、二句可知，“四十分钟”只是开始，故A项是正确答案。

B

[解析] 从文中第二段可知，最佳的时间是一个星期。故选B项。

D

[解析] 原文的意思是“我们就像一个夜行者一样在时间的长河中探索”。因此正确答案为D，其他三项不够全面。

A

[解析] 本文主要讲时间的文化差异及由此引起的礼貌问题。故A项是正确答案。

D

[解析] 从第二段第一句“That problem is...which increasingly demand more packaged goods”，可知引发垃圾危机的主要原因是包装商品(packaged goods)数量在最近30年的快速增长，故正确答案为D。

B

[解析] 细节题。从文中第三段“The only solution...is recycling on a grand scale”，故只有B项符合题意。

C

[解析] 文中第四、五段“Cynthia Pollock...points out that......for throwaway．”指强制使用多层垃圾箱对垃圾进行分类，是为给垃圾再循环提供便利条件。因此，C项符合题意。

C

[解析] 推理题。从文中第六段第二句可以找到Cynthia Pollock的观点：a list of the world's discards would reveal a wealth of materials，大意为他认为倾倒的废物中还有许多价值未被充分利用(not really been disposed of)，故C项符合题意。

B

[解析] 文章第五段Cynthia Pollock指出“consumers and policy makers are just beginning to realize that...”，由此可见公众危机意识刚刚形成，而非well aware the rubbish crisis．其他各项都可在文中找到对应的语句。

D

[解析] miscellaneous意为“各色各样的，混杂的”，四个选项中只有D项意义与之相近。A，B，C三项的意思分别为：木头的、瓷的、液体的。

B

[解析] 对照全文，分析四个选项，A项的意思与文中相应内容相反，C项明显不对，D项提到的内容文中并未提及，而依据文章第三段For Picasso，the meaning of art was to be derived from other works ofart，and not directly from nature(对毕加索而言，艺术作品对他的影响超乎自然对他的影响)，因此答案是B。

D

[解析] 依据文章第三段中间部分“In works such as The Old Guitarist he created evocative portrayals of blind，impoverished，or despairing people in a predominantly blue palette．”在《年老的吉他手》之类的作品中，他为瞎盲、贫穷或绝望的人创作了发人深省的画像，由此可见，D项是正确答案。

A

[解析] 选项B，C，D在文章中均有相应内容，只是未提到毕加索对进入青春期的少女的偏好，因此答案是A。

C

[解析] 从文中的最后一部分“rose period，...that marked his'blue'paintings was retained”
   可以看出，毕加索的“玫瑰时期”保留了他的“蓝色时期”那种寂寞和忧愁。显然选项C是正确的。

C

[解析] 依据文章末尾部分“the nervous expressionism of the blue period”，不难看出“蓝色时期”有一种对于心灵空虚所蕴含的心情和抒情的忧愁，故选项C是正确的。

B

[解析] A，C，D三项都可以从原文中找到相应的表述，由于文中并没有提到毕加索曾受罗丹(Auguste Rodin)的影响，故正确答案为B。

B

[解析] 从第二段可知，如果克林顿想要得到军方的帮助，他就不会信守要废除这项禁令的政治性承诺，故B项为正确答案。

A

[解析] 从文中第三、四段可知作者坚持认为对军营同性恋的禁令是对他们的歧视，故选A项。

C

[解析] 从文中第六段可知，同性恋者警察能够被接受，他们不用长期住在一起，因此可知C项为正确答案。

B

[解析] 从文中倒数第四段可知，同性恋者希望社会能够接受他们。故选B项。

A

[解析] 作者认为美国的军队是一个高效的军队，因此选A项。

A

[解析] If it isn't broke，don't fix it这个习语的字面意思是“东西还没坏，就别急着去修它”，实际上是劝某人不要破坏现状。因此，正确选项为A。其他三项不合题意，B项意为告诫某人做事要小心；C项意为请对方保持冷静，勿做出过激反应；D项意为当某人犹豫不决时给予鼓励。

C

[解析] 文中第二段指出，海难中的船员靠吃糖活了九天，A项正确。第五段指出取消饮食中的糖可治愈许多疾病，B项正确。第四段指出，一些事例证明糖作为一种固定饮食，其坏处比不吃任何东西还多，D项也正确。只有C项不是文中所论内容。

D

[解析] 从文中第四段可知，制糖业在动用多方力量开拓市场，甚至收买他们所能收买到的最有名的科学家。故选D项。

A

[解析] “trauma”意为“创伤”，这里指遇难海员因只食用糖造成心、脑、肾等器官损伤等症状。故选A项。

A

[解析] 此处是指“动物饲料常常随着季节而变化，而且总是价格昂贵”。故选A项。

C

[解析] 文中提到制糖业业主收买一些著名的科学家，显然可推知C项正确。

B

[解析] dirt-cheap意为“非常便宜的，贱如粪土的”，因此，应选B。
