30、ession B. wish C. interest D. chance答案与解析A1.A 主旨大意题。文章第一、二段指出本文的主题：持续干旱让澳大利亚人将被迫饮用循环水。下文具体介绍了澳大利亚不得不采取这项措施，渡过难关，这是生死悠关的大事。2.D 正误判断题。由最后一段中 “Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water.”可知D项表述正确, 符合题意, 为正确答案。由第二段 “even tho
31、ugh there is great opposition to the measure”.可知A项不对;由 “Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy”可知B项不对;由 “Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel. ” 可知C项不对。3.B 段落理解题。最后一段告诉我们，水源短缺迫使澳大利亚人饮用循环水，为了渡过难关，要扩大水的来源，包括原先不能依靠的雨水。B项为正确答案。4.C
32、词义猜测题。由下文I am very strongly for recycling and Mr Beattie is right and I agree with him completely,中的 “am very strongly for”和 “agree with”可知, adhered to的意思为 “支持；同意”。5.B 推理判断题。由第五段中的 “difficult decisions” “Theres no choice.” “Its liquid gold, its a matter of life and death”可以推出总理Peter Beattie看到人们喝循环水是
33、件痛苦的事。但对此别无选择B1.D 归纳大意题。由第三、四、五句可知本段主要介绍了美国大学都有自己的处理低于21岁学生饮酒的制度。故答案为D项。2.C 细节归纳题。由第二段可知，每年因为酒精死亡和受伤的人数为: 1700+600,000=601,700。故答案为C。注意：700,000是遭到喝醉酒学生袭击的学生人数，不是题干所要求的。3.A 细节理解题。由第五段中 “A third strike means that they have to be suspended school for at least one semester.”和最后一段 “Thirty have had a seco
34、nd strike - and only one hasnt allowed to go to school for one semester.”可知违犯三次的学生被迫停课至少一学期。故A项为正确答案。4.D 细节判断题。由第五段 “With a first violation(违犯), students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told.” “ For a second strike, they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars.”可知D项与此吻合。A项与第四段第二句不相符；C项与
35、第五段第二句不相符（还包括通知家长）；参加网上酒知识课程不是允许喝酒的必要条件，B项与文章信息不符。5.D推理判断题。由最后一段列举的数字可以推出，这些制度影响改变着大学生的行为，违犯制度的学生人数是下降的，故D项正确。A、B显然不对；C项文中有明确表述，无需推论。C1.B细节推断题。由每个广告的标题可以判断出其目的是要招聘教师。2. B 细节理解题。由第一则广告第二段 “What you need to do is log on our website and register, we will put your resume(简历) on Chinese website except co
36、ntact details.”可知B项表述正确。A项与We provide this service to teacher for free. 不符; 第一则广告中没有提到可以打电话联系，故排除C项；D项明显不符原文信息。3.D 细节理解题。由 “Tutors should be fairly flexible(灵活的) to suit his busy schedule and be of professional appearance.”可知D项为正确答案。4.D推理判断题。由The teacher we are looking for will: - Be a Chinese /English speaking librarian.可知招聘的教师必须会中文和英语两门语言，所以D项是你被拒绝的原因。C项在此广告中没有提到；A、B两项可以从Qualifications找到依据。5.A猜测词义题。由全文的写作目的和该词后面的介绍可以推测出的意思为“职业”。本资料由七彩教育网 提供！
