：题干中出现的人名SamBoakye提示答案定位在第四段第一句话。解析：问题提问SamBoakye的话是什么意思？通过定位可以找到SamBoakye的那段话，即ifyou'resurroundedbywhites,youhavesomethingtoprove.这句话前面的插入语-theonlyblackstudentonhisfreshmanyearfloor-介绍了SamBoakye作为黑人学生的背景，帮助我们理解之前那句话：如果你的周围都是白人，那么一定会去证明些什么，言下之意就是选项D“白人同伴的存在会激励黑人学生更加努力地去取得成功”。而选项A,B,nC在文中没有明确提及。本题选项C有个干扰信息“thefreshmanyear”，在原文中出现。某些考生看到这个词，不假思索就选择了这个选项，但没有搞懂原文的意思，导致错误选择。请考生留意。59.WhatdoestheIndianUniversitystudyshow?答案：A.Interracialroommatesaremorelikelytofallout.关键词：IndianUniversity,morelikely,定位：题干中出现的机构名称IndianUniversity提示答案定位在第七段第一句话。解析：问题提问IndianUniversity的研究显示了什么？通过定位可以发现研究结果显示Interracialroommatewerethreetimesaslikelyastwowhiteroommatestonolongerlivetogether，与选项A中的morelikelytofallout对应，因此选择D。此处，fallout应该理解为“散伙，分开”有些考生可能因为不理解意思而产生歧义，请考生留意。60.WhatdoesAlecWebleyconsidertobethe“definitionofintegration”?答案：D.Theschoolrandomlyassignsroommateswithoutregardtorace.关键词：AlecWebley,definitionofintegration定位：题干出现的人名AlecWebley提示答案定位在第十段第一句。解析：通过定位找到人名，人名后出现“Thisisthedefinitionofintegration”，由“this”可知人名前就是我们要找的答案，即theprocessthrowsyoutogetherrandomly，“throwyoutogetherrandomly”与“randomlyassign”对应。意思与选项D符合。因此，此处选择D。61.WhatdoesGraceKaosayaboutinterraciallodging?答案：A.Itisunscientifictomakegeneralizationsaboutitwithoutfurtherstudy.关键词：GraceKao,generalizations定位：题干中出现的人名GraceKao以及generalizations提示答案定位在文章最后一段。根据最后一段意思：要得出Interraciallodging的一般规律，需要对学生的背景特征有更多的研究，与选项D的意思相同。而选项ABC在文中没有明确提及。PassageTwo本篇文章主要是围绕一份来自GlobalHumanitarianForum的报告展开的，在解题之前，通过对5个题干的浏览，以及在原文中的定位，可以发现，这篇文章是严格按照顺序原则来出题的。每一个题干中都有大写的字母，这些首字母大写的单词既是关键词，也是定位词，可以有效地帮助我们到原文中准确定位，节省答题时间。62.WhatisthefindingoftheGlobalHumanitarianForum?答案：B.Ratesofdeathfromillnesseshaverisenduetoglobalwarming.关键词：GlobalHumanitarianForum定位：第一段、第二段解析：一般而言，四级的阅读题目大致遵循顺序原则，此篇文章正好是遵循此规律的。在文章的第一段，第一行，我们看到“…300,000deathsandabout$125billion…”,根据这里，我们可以把答案锁定在选项A（economic）和选项B(Ratesofdeath)，然后我们接着往下看，可以发现，第二段就没有再提到金钱方面了，而都是在讲死亡和疾病的话题，如第二段的第三行“…deathratesfromillnesses…”。所以，最后正确的选项是B。63.WhatdowelearnabouttheForum'sreportfromthepassage?答案：A.Itwaschallengedbysomeclimateandriskexperts.关键词：learn、Forum'sreport定位：第三段解析：根据顺序原则，我们在接下来的第三段里就找到了63题的答案。第三段的第一行就讲到“thereportdrewcriticismfromsomeexpertsonclimateandrisk”，这和A选项是完全相一致的，challenged是criticism的同义替换。B选项中的“interest”表示“兴趣”，主要用于好的事物，这里讲的都是对theForum'srepor的批评，显然就不合适了。C选项表达的意思跟原文正好相反，这个是肯定要排除的。然后，有的同学可能会选到D选项，可能是受到文中第四段“…primarilyinpoorcountries,werebeingseriouslyeffected…”这句话的影响。但是D选项中“abigstir”“一阵巨大的骚乱”文中是完全没有提到的。64.WhatdoesDr.PielkesayabouttheForum'sreport?答案：B.Itisinvalidintermsofmethodology.关键词：Dr.Pielke、sayn定位：第五段解析：在第五段，我们可以很快找到Pielke，然后找到他说的话，第二行“theForum'sreportwas‘amethodologicalembarrassment'”,然后在第六行“butthereport,hesaid‘willharmthe…itissodeeplyflawed'”。根据这两句话，选项中invalid是flawed的同义替换，我们可以很容易地选到B。65.WhatisSorenAndreasen'sviewofthereport?答案：D.Itsroughestimatesaremeanttodrawtheattentionofworldleaders.关键词：SorenAndreasen定位：第六段解析：在第六段的第二行和第三行，可以看到“thenumberwereroughestimates.Hesaidthereportwasaimedatworldleaders…”,根据这两句话，我们就能较轻松地将正确答案锁定在D选项。66.WhatdoesKofiAnnansayshouldbethefocusoftheCopenhagenconference?答案：D.Howrichcountriescanbetterhelppoorregionsreduceclimatehazards.关键词：KofiAnnan、focusoftheCopenhagenconference定位：第七段（即文中的最后一段）解析：最后一段是KofiAnnan说的一段话。我们在最后一段的第二行，focuson后面“…fromrichtopoorregionstohelpreduce…”后面的内容就无需再花时间去看了，因为他focus（关注）的地方，在此就已经陈述清楚了，正确答案就是D。PartVITranslation87.Theuniversityauthoritiesdidnotapprovetheregulation,nordidtheymakeanyexplanation/nordidtheygivethereasonfordoingso(也没有解释为什么).解析：本题考察了两个知识点。①nor的倒装句用法，后半句表示“也不”的否定意义，注意助动词的时态与上半句保持一致；②对某事做出解释的表达，考察了汉译英中动词转名词的技巧，explain→explanation，或者nordidtheygivethereasonfordoingso同样可以。88.Janeistiredofdealingwithcustomercomplaintsandwishesthatshecouldbeassigned(to)anotherjob（能被分配做另一项工作）解析：本题考察了wish从句的虚拟语气用法（can→could）和“分配某人做某事”的词组搭配，assignsb.tosth.或者assignsb.sth.89.Johnrescuedthedrowningchildattheriskofhisownlife(冒着自己生命危险).解析：本题考察了“冒着…的危险/风险做某事”的词组搭配，可以用attherisk/expenseofone'sownlife（冒着某人的生命危险做某事）90.Georgecalledhisbossfromtheairportbutit①washisassistantwhoanswered/pickedupthephone；②turnedoutthathisassistantanswered/pickedupthephone（接电话的却是他的助手）解析：该句比较灵活，在句法上，既可以使用强调句结构，也可以采用turnout的惯用搭配；在“接电话”的表达上，可以用pickup/answerthephone。强调句结构为itbesb.whodosth.,而turnout变化则较多，可以用turnouttobesb.whodosth.或者turnout+that+从句。91.Althoughhewasinterestedinphilosophy,hisfatherpersuadedhiminto/talkedhiminto（他的父亲说服他）majoringinlaw.解析：本题考察“说服某人做某事”的表达，persuade/talksb.intodoingsth.
