21、 文档 可修改 句提到埃及航空公司的 804 航班被击落又一次提醒了为什么要进行安检。该句的前两句提到了美国的大型机场对旅客提出了更多的安检要求，但旅客为了安全愿意忍受耗时的安检程序。所以 A 符合文意。22.Which of the following contributes to long waits at major airports?A New restrictions on carry-on bags.B The declining efficiency of the TSA.C An increase in the number of travellers.D Frequent u
22、nexpected secret checks.答案 C 答案解释 根据题干关键词 long wait 定位到第二段第 2 句。这句话中提到加强的安全措施和航空旅游的数量的增加导致了大型机场的 long wait。题干中用 contribute to，原文中 用同义短语 result in。选项 C 中的 an increase in the number of travellers 和原文中的 rise in airline travel 意思相同。儿加强安全措施在其它几个选项都没提到过。故正确选项为 C。23.The word“expedited”(Liner 4,Para.5)is cl
23、oset in meaning to A quieter.B cheaper.C wider.D faster.答案 D 答案解释 应该出上下文中推断出单词的意思。题干关键词 expedited 出现在第五段的 第 2 句话，这句话指出那些背景审核合格的乘客才能走 expedited 筛查过道。后句解释这使得 TSA 能把注意力集中在那些高风险的旅客身上，以节省大家的时间。D 选项 faster 更快，是原文中 saving time 的同义词替换。故正确选项为 D。24.One problem with the PreCheck program is A a dramatic reducti

25、 flaw 是题干中的 problem 的同义置换，下文中有进一步说明接下来的改革可能会使价格调整到一个更合理的水平。根据这两句话，可以推断出现在 PreCheck program 的价格是不合理的。选项 D 符合文意。25.Which of the following would be the best for the text?A Less Screening for More Safety B PreCheck a Belated Solution C Getting Stuck in Security Lines D Underused PreCheck Lanes 答案 C 答案解释
26、 文中第一段提到权威人士建议在美国大型机场搭乘国内航班现在要提前三个小时候机，第二段第一句又进一步提到美国人愿意忍受这种耗时的安检程序，第三段的第二句话说加强安全措施和航空旅游人数的增加导致了在大型机场的长时间候机，第五、六段提出了通过了现在的 PreCheck program 来解决长时间候机问题在价格方面的缺陷。在最后一段又重申，大多数的旅客依然遭遇不必要的排队候机问题。所以，可以看出，全文以长时间候机为主线贯穿始终，故正确答案为 C。欢迎您阅读并下载本文档，本文档来源于互联网，如有侵权请联系删除！我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档！专业 文档 可修改 Text 2“The ancient Ha
27、waiians were astronomers,”wrote Queen Liliuokalani,Hawaiis last reigning monarch,in 1897.Star watchers were among the most esteemed members of Hawaiian society.Sadly,all is not well with astronomy in Hawaii today.Protests have erupted over construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope(TMT),a giant obse
28、rvatory that promises to revolutionize humanitys view of the cosmos.At issue is the TMTs planned location on Mauna Kea,a dormant volcano worshiped by some Hawaiians as the piko,that connects the Hawaiian Islands to the heavens.But Mauna Kea is also home to some of the worlds most powerful telescopes
29、.Rested in the Pacific Ocean,Mauna Keas peak rises above the bulk of our planets dense atmosphere,where conditions allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpassed clarity.Opposition to telescopes on Mauna Kea is nothing new.A small but vocal group of Hawaiians and environmentalists have long viewed

34、omy community is making compromises to change its use of Mauna Kea.The TMT site was chosen to minimize the telescopes visibility around the island and to avoid archaeological and environmental impact.To limit the number of telescopes on Mauna Kea,old ones will be removed at the end of their lifetime
35、s and their sites returned to a natural state.There is no reason why everyone cannot be welcomed on Mauna Kea to embrace their cultural heritage and to study the stars.26.Queen Liliuokalanis remark in Paragraph 1 indicates A her conservative view on the historical role of astronomy.B the importance
36、of astronomy in ancient Hawaiian society.Cthe regrettable decline of astronomy in ancient times.D her appreciation of star watchers feats in her time.答案 B 答案解释文中第一句提到古代的夏威夷人是天文学家。第三句话，话锋一转，“sadly”,提到当今的夏威夷人在天文学上表现不尽如人意。暗指天文学在古代的重要性。故选 B。27.Mauna Kea is deemed as an ideal astronomical site due to A i

39、rom Paragraph 5 that progress in todays astronomy A is fulfilling the dreams of ancient Hawaiians.B helps spread Hawaiian culture across the world.C may uncover the origin of Hawaiian culture.D will eventually soften Hawaiians hostility.答案 C 答案解释 根据该段最后一句话跟倒数第二句话指出，他们忽略了天文学和夏威夷文化试图回答的问题：我们是谁，我们从哪儿来，
40、要到哪儿去。最后一句话指出这就是我们探索星空的原因。据此可以推出 may uncover the origin of Hawaiian culture。故 C 为正确选项 30.The authors attitude toward choosing Mauna Kea as the TMT site is one of A severe criticism.B passive acceptance.欢迎您阅读并下载本文档，本文档来源于互联网，如有侵权请联系删除！我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档！专业 文档 可修改 C slight hesitancy.答案 D D full approval.答
41、案解释 本题是一道态度题，题干中问及作者对选择 Mauna Kea 作为 TMT 的地址的态度。文章的最后一句话作者用一个双重否定的句子清楚地表达了自己对这件事情的看法。句子的意思是：没有任何理由不欢迎大家到 Mauna Kea 去研究星空，但同时又能保护他们的文化遗产。故正确答案为 D。Text 3 Robert F.Kennedy once said that a countrys GDP measures“everything except that which makes life worthwhile.”With Britain voting to leave the Europea
