Things in the henhouse changed practically overnight when McDonald’s announced in 1999 that it would no longer buy eggs from producers who didn’t meet its guidelines for care of chickens. Those guidelines included limiting the 1 of birds that could be kept in one 2 and prohibiting beak removal, 3 trimming just the tips.

Once McDonald’s had 4　the way in issuing animal care guidelines for the company’s suppliers, many other giants of the fast-food industry rapidly followed 5　, including Burger King, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Wendy’s, A and W and KFC.

And the European Union, representing our foreign customers, is also 8 in with, among other things, legislation banning. 9 use of crates to house pregnant sows, 10 in 2013.

Questions about animal care 11 with the explosive growth in large-scale livestock farms, 12 spurred customers to complain about animals being treated as “factory parts”. That spurred ARS and the livestock industry to take a proactive approach to addressing animal　13　issues, making sure that guidelines are based on facts 14 through scientific research. The goal is to share research findings with the retail food industry and others so that the livestock industry can improve its 15 guidelines.

Ten years ago, to 16 these concerns, ARS started a research program on livestock behavior and stress. The scientists involved were tasked with finding out whether modern farming practices were 17 stressing animals. And if so, could scientific methods be developed to measure this stress so that 18 could be evaluated objectively rather than subjectively?

A decade later, the 19 answer is “yes” to both questions, Many had expected the answer to be “no” on both counts, but science works independently 20 people’s opinions.

belief (in) 相信，信赖：I have great belief in his ability to succeed. 可见，consideration, attention 与 belief 均不切题。

4. 【答案】D. on

【解析】本题测试结构搭配. The effect of smoking on the health 吸烟对健康的影响。

5. 【答案】C. In fact

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.in fact 事实上，实际上。从上下文的意思来看，正合题意。in consequence 因此，on the other hand 另一方面，after all 毕竟，均不符合题意。

6. 【答案】D. reluctantly

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. reluctantly 勉强的;instinctively 本能的，天生的;spontaneously 自发地;instantly 立即。可见，reluctantly 正合题意。

7. 【答案】A. suffer

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. suffer vt./vi. 遭受，受到;正合题意。subject…to 使……受到…..：He was subjected to severe criticism.

submit vt. 1) 提交：We have submitted your request to the committee. 2) (与to 连用) vt./vi. 服从，听任：I refuse to submit (myself) to his control.

sustain vt. 1) 支撑: These two posts sustain the whole roof. 2) 经受，承受：She sustained a great loss in the death of her husband. 从上下文的逻辑意思和词义搭配来看，suffer 是正确的选择。

8. 【答案】C. doubtless

【解析】本题测试结构型词义搭配. doubtless 是副词，意为“一定，肯定，无疑”，例如 ：1) It was doubtless his own fault. 2) John will doubtless come on time as he always dose.

certain, sure, right 均为形容词，从语法结构上就可以排除这些选项。

9. 【答案】B. joined

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. join 参加(某个组织)：He joined the army last year.

join in 参加(某种活动)：1) The girl, Mary, joined in the conversation. 2) May I join in the game? enter 1)进入：He entered the sitting-room. 2) 参加，到…..里面工作：I refused to enter the discussion. 可见本题用entered 不妥,因为它是及物动词。3) enter into 开始(谈话，讨论等) ：He entered into an explanation. 4)enter for 报名参加：I shall enter for the new competition. attend 在搭配关系与逻辑意思上均不符合本题题意。如用involve，则需用被动态, be involved in 参加。例如：Many workers were involved in the strikes in 1946.(许多工人参加了1946年的大罢工。) 2) He is involved in a lot of extra work.(他参加了许多额外的工作。) attend vt. 出席：He attended the meeting yesterday.

10. 【答案】B. persuade

【解析】本题测试结构型词义搭配. persuade sb. to do sth. 说服某人做某事。

reason vt. 通过讲道理是某人做某事，含有“说服”的意思，其搭配关系是：reason sb. into doing sth. 1) Let’s reason him into joining us. 2) I managed to reason him into complying with the traffic regulations. (我和他讲道理让他遵守交通规则。)

argue sb.into doing sth. 通过争论让某人做某事：They tried to argue him into joining them. suggest 后不能接sb. to do sth., 但可以接sb.’s doing sth., 例如：I suggested his staying instead of going there.

11. 【答案】C. ban

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. 虽然，ban, stop, object to, prevent 后均可以接动名词，但含义不同。ban 禁止：1) We will ban all smoking in our club. 2) Smoking is banned here in the train. stop 停止，阻止：The heavy rain has stopped them (or their) playing golf.

object to 反对：1) I strongly objected to being treated like a child.2) I object to your saying that. 3) She objected to us keeping animals.

prevent 防止，阻止：1) Of course, I can’t prevent your going. 2) A sever cold prevented him (from) attending the meeting. 3) We must preventing the rumor from spreading. 根据题意，只能选C. ban 才符合题意。

12. 【答案】A. entirely

【解析】本题测试结构型词义搭配. entirely(= completely in degree)完全的：The goods were entirely unfit for sale. Entirely 常常修饰形容词，强调程度上“完全地”。generally 一般来说，从上下文逻辑关系来看，用generally不妥，因为说话者的态度是很明确，坚定的，故用entirely. likely 可能(发生)的;possibly 可能地，均不切题。

13. 【答案】D. possible

【解析】本题测试结构型词义搭配.It is likely to do sth., It is right to do sth. 和 It is probable to do sth.都是错误的，应该用下列句型：It is likely that …..和 It is probable that ….. 可见本题只能选possible.

14. 【答案】C. on

【解析】本题测试惯用搭配. call on sb. to do sth. 号召某人做某事：The president called on his people to make sacrifice for the good of their country. call for sth. 需要;call sb. up 给某人打电话。

15. 【答案】A. rather

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.rather than 是选择连词，意为：而不是。

16. 【答案】A. prohibited

Text 5

1. 【答案】C. made

【解析】本题测试惯用搭配. make towards(=make for, go forwards, move in the direction of …) 朝….走去。

2. 【答案】B. though

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.though 表示让步意义，引导让步状语从句。因为从句主语和主句主语相同，从句谓语又包含be,所以从句中的主语和助动词可以省略。例如：1) The girl, though plain, had a good kind face. 2) I went on talking , though continually interrupted by John.

3. 【答案】C. as

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.从上下文意思看，本句中从句与主句的联系是因果关系，故选 as,表示原因，其他词均不切题。

4. 【答案】D. blown

【解析】本题测试词义搭配.fallen 和flown均为不及物动词，不能用于被动语态。blow vt.吹，正合题意。

本句译文：这里我们没有发现什么雪，因为大部分雪似乎已从山上刮走了。

5. 【答案】A. view

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. 此处view 意为“看见的东西，景色”，例如：Your house has a fine view of the hills. (从你的房子能看到这些小山的美丽景色。)本句译文：看不到远处的山，因为我们四周的云层正在形成。

6. 【答案】A. came up

【解析】本题测试词义型惯用搭配.come up (=happen)发生，形成：A snowstorm is coming up. (一场暴风雪正在酝酿之中。)本句中有suddenly, 故用came up 比came on 更妥。

7. 【答案】B. noticed

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. notify vt.(=inform sb. of sth. ; report sth. to sb.) 通知，报告。glance(at) (=take a quick look at) 看一眼(强调行为的过程)。因此，notify和glance均不符合题意。notice vt. ( =become aware of; observe)注意到;留心;看到(强调行为的结果);view vt.(=look at or watch carefully)仔细察看，注视(强调行为的过程)。可见，此句中应选，noticed.

8. 【答案】B. before

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.

本句译文：我们本来应该注意到风暴的来临，但是那时我们正在集中精力开路。我们还来不及采取任何措施，就已被白雪照的眼花缭乱。

9. 【答案】A. motionlessly

10. 【答案】A. In spite of

11. 【答案】C. something

【解析】本题测试词义型逻辑搭配.“do something +动词不定式”常译为“采取措施以便能做….”。在否定句中可以用 not ….anything 或nothing.例如：I can do nothing to get rid of the embarrassing situation. (我实在无能为力摆脱困境)。

本句译文：这种情况持续两个小时以后，我意识到我们必须想点办法以免冻死在这里。

从句意看，只能选something.

12. 【答案】B. made out

【解析】本题测试惯用搭配.make out(=see and identify with effort or difficulty)辨认出。

13. 【答案】D. out of the

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. out of the question(=impossible) 不可能的。without question 毫无疑问，beyond question 毋庸置疑;in question 有疑问(做表语)所谈到的(做后置定语)。

14. 【答案】D. pinch

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. wrench vt. 拧，扭;扳紧;歪曲(事实);wedge oneself into a crowd 挤在人群中;pad vt. 填塞：pad sth. with cotton 填棉花。pinch vt. 搭，捏。pinch(=put up) a tent 搭帐篷。

16. 【答案】B. situation

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.at last 终于，最终;符合上下文的逻辑关系。

19. 【答案】C. best

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. as best one can/could 尽量好的：1) Do it as best you. 2) We comforted her as best as we could. 3) I’ll answer his two questions as best I can.

20. 【答案】D. crawled

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. crawled (=move slowly, pulling the body along the ground) 匍匐而行。climb (=go up or over[sth.], esp. using one’s hands and feet) 攀爬，攀登：climb a wall, a mountain, a tree, a rope, the stairs, a hill. 本题是“爬进睡袋”，故不能用climb. crash(=fall or strike suddenly, violently, noisily) 猛跌，猛撞：The bus crashed into a tree(公共汽车撞在树上撞坏了)crash也可以作“冲入，闯入”解：Five people were killed in the aircraft crash. (5人在这次飞机失事中丧生。) 可见，crash不能入选。leap vi.(向前)跃;creep vi. 慢慢的，悄悄地或偷偷地移动(尤其指弯着腰走)。综上所述，只有D. crawled 符合题意。

Text 6

1. 【答案】A. include

【解析】本题测试词义搭配.include(= bring in as a part of the whole) 包括，包含：1) The book includes two chapters on grammar. 2) The plan includes most of your suggestions. 3) Our delegation included two interpreters(我们的代表团里包括2位翻译)involve 虽然也有“包含”的意思，但其后所接的名词大多数是非实体性名词，所以involve 的确切含义是“(=have s a necessary consequence)必然包括某种结果，牵涉到”，例如：The war involved a great increase in the national debt.(战争必然使国家负债骤增。)根据上下文的意思来看，此处指“昆虫中有某些人类最大的天敌”，句中enemies是实体名词，故此体应选include. cover 也有“包括”之意，但主要是指“谈到，涉及到”，例如：1) The discussion covered a wide range of subjects. (这次讨论涉及到范围广阔的议题。) 2)His studies covered a wide field.(他的研究涉及到很大的领域) cover 作“包括，包含”解时一般不结具体的事物或动物名词。consist 后接of,意为“由…..组成”。可见，本题答案非A 莫属。

2. 【答案】C. it

【解析】本题测试结构搭配.it 是形式宾语，其实际宾语是for us to live in the world.

3. 【答案】B. for

【解析】本题测试结构搭配. were it not for sth. 是虚拟条件句，意为“要不是….,要是没有….的话”。

4. 【答案】C. owe

【解析】本题测结构型词义搭配. owe…..to…把…..归功于….: He owed his success o luck more than to capacity. contribute to 有助于，促进，加剧：Cars contribute to air pollution. (汽车加剧了空气污染);devote sth. to 奉献，致力于;dedicate … to 奉献;均不符合题意。

5. 【答案】B. put

【解析】本题测试词义搭配.put together 加在一起。put together 在句中是过去分词短语作定语，修饰前面的all of them.

6. 【答案】A. number

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. insect 是可数名词。此处是指昆虫的“数目”，故应选number. An (或 the) amount of +不可数名词(单数)，故不能入选。plenty of +可数名词(复数)或不可数名词(单数)，意为“很多，大量的”，用于肯定句中，例如：1) There was plenty of work for girls of her age. 2) There are plenty of men out of work. (许多失业男子)proportion 比例。

7. 【答案】B. Moreover

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.moreover 意为“此外，而且”，正合题意。

8. 【答案】D. harm

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. do harm to …对某人有害，正合题意。do damage to sth. 对….造成损害，与题意不符。do good to sb./sth. 对…有好处，与题意相悖。do与ruin不搭配，通常说cause ruin, bring about ruin, lead to ruin等

9. 【答案】A. as

【解析】本题测试结构搭配.as 引导非限定性定语从句，例如：As you know, China is a country with a large population. (正如你所知道的，中国是一个人口众多的国家)

10. 【答案】C. nor

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配. not … as 翻译时否定要转移到as 上。

本句译文：蜘蛛不像许多人想的那样是昆虫，它们甚至与昆虫几乎无关。nor引导的是延续否定句，其中省略了主语与系动词。如果把主语与系动词补上，则应为：…nor are spiders even nearly related to them. not nearly 意为“全然不”，此句中的not的否定意义由nor来体现。此外，有些语法学家认为，此类句子中nor连接的是两个并列成分，例如：For ten days I did not see him nor telephone him.

so引导延续肯定句，例如：She was right, and so were you , at least to an extent. (她是对的，你至少在某种程度上也是对的。) 根据上下文意思，此句时表示延续否定，因此不能用，so。至于either,虽然也可以用在延续否定句中，但词序不对，例如：1) I can’t dance, either. 2) China will not be a superpower, not either or even in the future. (中国不做超级大国，现在不做，以后也不做。)

none pron.作代词：1) None of them spoke English except Tallit. 2)”How many fish did you catch?” ”None. ” 3) We none of us said anything. (作同位语) 4)She had none of her brother’s beauty.(她一点也不像他兄弟的美貌。)5) none but Johnson could have done such a thing.(只有约翰有可能作出这样的事来。) 6) The stranger was none other than my old friend. (这位陌生人不是别人，正是我的老朋友。)

none adv. 作副词：1) She spent two weeks in hospital but she is none the better for it. (她住院两个星期，但他并不因此而好一些。) 2) None the less it is one of the most powerful weapons the workers possess. (尽管如此，这仍然是工人手中最有力的武器之一。)3) I am afraid he is none too clever .(恐怕他不太聪明。) 根据题意，本题不能选none.但上述有关none的用法，例句考生务必倍加注意，因为none是常用词，所以它是重要的测试内容。例如：1984年试题I. 26. The man over there is ____our principal. A. no other but B. no other than C. no one than D. none other than (应选D. none other than)

11. 【答案】B. difference

【解析】本题测试逻辑型词义搭配.根据上下文意思可以看出，此处是讲蜘蛛与昆虫的区别，故应选 B。difference.考生在做类似试题时，一定要注意上下文的连贯意思。

12. 【答案】C. for

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.此句中for引导表示附加说明的原因分句。按传统语法分类，for在此引导的分句是并列句而不是从句。按惯用发，在for前必须有逗号。

13. 【答案】D. involved

【解析】本题测试结构型词义搭配.participate(in)参与;join(in)参加;但本句谓语是被动语态，故上述两词均不能入选。be involved in 参与，参加;如填入句中不但在此以上，而且在结构上均符合题意，故答案非D莫属。

14. 【答案】D. behalf

【解析】本题测试词惯用搭配.on one’s behalf or on behalf(=for; in the interest(s)of; on account of) 代表，为了….的缘故：1) I am writing on behalf of my mother to express her thanks for your gift. 2) I felt guilty on you behalf. (我为你感到内疚。) in honor of or in one’s honor 为了(纪念或表示敬意而举行某活动)：We gave the dinner party in his honor (我们为他举办晚餐会。) for the sake of 为了…..起见。on one’s good/bad side(搞好/坏 关系)：John thought that he would get a good grade if he got on the good side of the teacher.(约翰想，如他和老师搞好关系，他会得到高分。) 此外，on the side 额外的，作为兼职的：He makes a little money on the side by doing house-keeping work for Mrs. Johnson. (他替约翰太太做家务额外挣一点钱。)

15. 【答案】A. on

【解析】on 表示“关于(某一问题);对，就(某一点)”，例如：We had many quarrels on politics and religion. 2) You are an authority on clothes. 3) He is absorbed in his work on bacteria. in 表示“在…方面”，例如：a specialist in history 历史学方面的专家。

16. 【答案】A. census

【解析】本题测试词义搭配.本题测试考生辨析形似异意词的能力。census 调查;consensus 一致看法。(意见等)一致;conscience 良心;consciousness 意识，觉悟，自觉。

17. 【答案】B. something

【解析】本题测试惯用搭配.something like(=approximately)大约。

18. 【答案】C. impossible

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.按上下文逻辑意思来看，应选impossible,句中more than 修饰the widest,说明其程度，如：I’ m more than content with what you have just said (我对你刚才所说的极其满意。)

19. 【答案】D. wildest

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. wild 在此处的含义是“不精确的，大致的，(没有证据的)大胆的”。本句译文：不可能做出极其大胆的猜测：蜘蛛杀灭多少害虫，但是蜘蛛是胃口极大的动物。它们肯定不会满足一天只吃三顿。

20. 【答案】D. content

【解析】本题测试逻辑型词义搭配.从逻辑意思和语义上分析，content正合题意。上面谈到“蜘蛛是食量很大的动物”，可见“蜘蛛是不会满足于一天三顿的”。be content with 满足于：My father had to be content with this small success.

Text 7

1. 【答案】D. convenient

【解析】本题测试逻辑型词义搭配.从逻辑意思上看，此处是讲“支票对买者和卖者均很方便”。故正确答案为 D. convenient. complicated 复杂的;trivial 琐碎的，无足轻重的;bearable可忍受的。

2. 【答案】A. valueless

【解析】本题测试词义搭配.valueless 无价值的。从上下文来看，支票不是真正的钱，因为支票本身是无价值的。invaluable 无法估价的，非常宝贵的。

3. 【答案】C. risk

【解析】本题测试词惯用搭配. run a risk 是习语，意为“冒风险”，例如：You are running a risk in trusting him. (你相信他是一种冒险的行为。)

4. 【答案】A. within

【解析】本题测试惯用搭配.within one’s right 有权…，在某人的权限内：You would be quite within your right to refuse to work on Sunday.

5. 【答案】C. on occasion

【解析】本题测试词义型逻辑搭配.in general 一般来说;at the least 至少;on occasion 偶尔;in short 总之。从上下文意思来看，应选C. on occasion

本句译文：当店主接受支票时，他总是要冒一点的风险的。因此，如果他偶尔拒绝受支票，它也是完全有权这样做的。

6. 【答案】D. in question

【解析】本题测试惯用搭配. call sth. in question (=raise doubts about sth.) 对…表示怀疑： His honesty was called in question. (他的诚实受到怀疑。) 不能选 in doubt,因为没有call sth. in doubt 这个习语。in earnest 认真的。

7. 【答案】B. experience

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. have an extremely unpleasant experience 意为“ 有一次非常不愉快的经历”。accident 事故;event 重大事件;incident 事件，事变，附带的事： border incident (边界事件)。相比之下，experience 是最佳选择。

8. 【答案】B. stock

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. keep a large stock of 备有大量…..的现货供应，故stock指商店供销售的现货。例如：1) This store has a large stock of shirts. (这商店有大量衬衫出售。) 2) The green grocery keeps a large stock of vegetables and fruits. (这家蔬菜水果店有大量的蔬菜水果供应。) a large store of sth. 指“ 大量储藏某物”，根据题意，此次是指商店。商店不是仓库，商店的现货是供出售的，故此处选store 不合题意。a number of 接可数名词复数，只指有若干某物，无供出售的含义。可见，如填number 虽不算错，但不是最佳答案。至于an amount of 后接单数形式的不可数名词，所以无论在逻辑意思上或语法结构上均不和题意。

本句译文：他去一家备有大量宝石的商店，要了一些珍珠项链来挑选。

9. 【答案】 D. decided

【解析】本题测试机构型词义搭配.decide 后可接不定式，但consider后接动名词：consider changing one’s plan. consider 后接不定式，则必须有连接代词或连接副词：consider how to change the plan, consider what to do next.至于think, 不能说think to do sth.。conceive 后不接不定式。可见consider, think 和conceive在语法结构上均不符合题意。

10. 【答案】A. by

【解析】本题测试惯用搭配.pay by cheque 用支票支付;pay in cash或pay cash付现金。

11. 【答案】A. in order

【解析】本题测试惯用搭配. be in order 在此句中的意思是合适，适当，符合规定，如：Is your passport in order? (你的护照符合规定吗?)in need 在逆境中：A friend in need is a friend indeed. (患难之交才是真正的朋友) in use 在使用：This word is still in use. 其翻译结构是out of use(现在)不使用：This railway station used to be in use. It is now out of use. in common 共同的：We have much in common.

12. 【答案】C. exactly

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. exactly(=correctly, quite)正确的，完全地 ：Your answer is exactly right. (你的答案完全正确。) extremely 极度地，极端地;在本句中有言过其实的含义;largely 主要的;mostly 主要地，基本上，均不符合题意。

13. 【答案】D. worthless

【解析】本题测试词义型逻辑搭配.worthless 毫无价值的。根据语篇意思其他三个选择均不切题。

14. 【答案】B. at

【解析】本题测试结构搭配. at any moment 即刻，随时。

15. 【答案】D. unless

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.unless 除非，如果不。unless用来连接反意条件句：I shall go there unless it rains.

本句译文：当他起身要走的时候经理告诉他，警察随时会来。如果他不像招惹麻烦的话，最好在这儿呆一会儿。

16. 【答案】B. Sure enough

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.sure enough 果然，果然不出所料：1) I said it would happen, and sure enough it did happen. (我说这件事会发生的，果然就发生了。) 2) I told him to come, and sure enough he arrived the next morning. ( 我叫他来，果然第二天早晨他来了。)

really 真正地，实在;certainly 当然，肯定，确实 。虽然从意义上看，这两个词填入空内似乎也说得过去，但really放在句首，做插入语并用逗号隔开时，意为“确实，实际上”，如：Really, that was a terrible mistake. (确实，那是一个严重的错误。)

certainly 放在句首，并用逗号分开，做插入语时，一般用于问答句中，意为“当然”，如:“Can I use the telephone?” “Certainly, you can.”

however 然而，用来表示语气的转折，故不合题意。

在选择承上启下的过度词时，考生必须纵观上下文，切勿断章取义。要注意所选的词或短语在具体的上下文中所填补的确切含义。特别要留心近义词与易混淆词，并注意句与句之间的逻辑关系。

17. 【答案】C. inconvenience

【解析】本题测试词义搭配. convenience不便，麻烦 ;treatment 对待，处理;manner(做事情的)方法，方式;behavior 举止，品行，行为。根据题意只能选inconvenience.

本句译文：由于给我的朋友带来麻烦，她们向他表示歉意，并请他抄写那个诈骗犯在几家商店里曾用过的条子。

18. 【答案】C. copy out

【解析】本题测试惯用型词义搭配.copy out 抄写;write off报废;购销(债务);write out 开出(药方，支票等);make out 弄懂;辨认，开出(支票，药方)

19. 【答案】A. read

【解析】本题测试惯用搭配.read 此处意为“上面写道”：The ticket reads “From New York to Boston”. (票上写着“从纽约到波士顿”。) 可见，其它选项均为错误的。

注意：可用say来表达同样的意思：1) Her passport says she is nineteen. (她的护照上写道她19岁。) 2) The papers say the export is down. (据报载，出口额下降了。)

20. 【答案】B. Fortunately

【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.

本句译文：很幸运，我朋友的笔迹与诈骗犯的笔迹完全不同。根据上下文的意思，只有填入Fortunately 才合题意。

15.【答案】D

19.【答案】C

【解析】本题涉及词的引申用法，stand 可以表达“处于某种状态或情形”之意，带入后意为“但它们却是这样一种技术的雏形……” 。再如：The house stood empty for months. 故 C 为答案。其他三项意思均为“出现”，不符句意。

1. 【答案】D

【解析】suitable是“合适的”，reliable是“可靠的”，identifiable是“可辨认的，可识别的”;available是“可获得的”。这篇文章是关于饮食全球化的，这句话要表达的意思是：“来自世界不同厨房的菜谱和饭菜将在任何时间任何地点。”根据句子意思应该填available，所以D是正确答案。

2. 【答案】A

【解析】 trend是“趋势，时髦，时尚”，fashion是“时尚，时兴，风行一时的事物”，tendency是“趋势，趋向”，style是“流行式样，款式新颖的东西”。全球化对于饮食来说，不仅是趋势，而且是一种时尚，包含这两层意思的只有trend，因此答案是A。

3. 【答案】C

【解析】component是“(组)成(部)分，零件，部件”，food是“事物，食品”，ingredient是“(混合物的)组成部分，成份，(烹调的)原料”，stuff是“食物，饮料”。要填的单词和空格后面的cooking styles构成并列关系，和烹调方式直接相关的是烹调的原料，即ingredients，foods和stuffs虽然也和主题相关，但如果和cooking styles搭配，逻辑关系不够严谨，所以答案是C。

4. 【答案】B

【解析】transport是“运输，运送”，transplant是“移植，移种”，transfer是“搬，转移，调动”，translate是“翻译，给……重新措辞，解释，说明”。空格前的they指代的是这句话的主语，即ingredients and cooking styles，空格所填的动词必须与之搭配，transport只能和ingredients搭配，cooking styles是无法transport的，transfer只能和ingredients搭配，translate只能和cooking styles搭配，只有transplant既能和ingredients，又能和cooking styles搭配，所以正确答案是B。

5. 【答案】A

【解析】 part是“一部分，部分”，role是“角色，作用，任务”，portion是“一部分，一份”，side是“边，缘，侧面，方面”。根据上下文以及英语的习惯表达，这里应该选part，A是正确答案。6. 【答案】B

【解析】insight后面应该跟介词into，因此答案是B。

7. 【答案】C

【解析】taste是“味道，滋味”，flavor是“滋味，味道”，dish是“一盘菜，莱肴，食品”，course是“(一)道(菜)”，常用表达法如a nine-course banquet，指的是“9道菜的宴会”。taste和flavor都是抽象名词，意思相近，无法区别，属于干扰选项，所以同时排除，正确答案是C。

8. 【答案】B

【解析】information是“情报，资料，消息”，knowledge是“知识，了解，熟悉”，insight是“洞察力，洞悉，深入了解”，experience是“经历，阅历，经验，体验”。首先排除insight和experience，因为人们不需要对不同大洲和文化的食物或原料有所洞察或者经历、经验，而information指的是关于某一形势、人或事件的信息，所以knowledge更加合适，答案是B。

9. 【答案】A

【解析】socialization是“社会化(指使人，尤其儿童，形成为其社会所接受的行为方式的过程)”，realization是“实现，理解，认知”，standardization是“标准化”，localization是“地方化，本地化”。空格要填的单词和后面的cultural exchange及Success构成并列，这段话是针对globe-trotting businessmen而言，他们为融入当地的文化需要做出什么样努力，他们的目的是让自己的行为被当地人所接受，因此要去了解当地的文化，而不是把自身的文化本地化，所以选socialization，答案是A。

10. 【答案】C

【解析】however是“然而，可是”，somehow是“由于某种未知的原因，不知怎的”，moreover是“而且，此外”，anyway是“无论如何”。第二段是讲奔走于世界各地的商人要了解所到之处的饮食文化，第三段是讲人们足不出户就可以了解世界其他地方的饮食，两者之间是递进的关系，所以选C。

11. 【答案】C

【解析】strange是“外地的，异乡的，奇特的，奇怪的”，new是“新的”，exotic是“外(国)来的，异国情调的，外国气派(或风味)的”，remote是“远的，边远的”。这段第一句话的意思是“此外，烹饪全球化不仅仅局限于亲身去旅行。”烹饪全球化的意思是不同国家之间的饮食文化进行交流，所以这里选择C是最贴切的。

12. 【答案】A

【解析】四个选项都是用conscious构成的复合词，指“注重…的”。soul food是指“美国(尤指南方)黑人常吃的食物(如猪小肠、玉米面包、猪脚爪、煎鲇鱼、山药等)”，传统的soul food在用料和烹调方法上对健康有一定的影响，出于健康原因，现在的soul food已经进行了一定的改良，所以这里选A。

13. 【答案】B

【解析】population是“人口”，popularity是“普及，流行，大众化”，quantity是“数量”，prosperity是“繁荣”。这句话的主语是fast-casual restaurants，同位语trendy eateries是指时髦的餐馆，强调时髦与流行，所以答案是B。

14. 【答案】A

【解析】expand是“扩大，发展”，extend是“伸展，延伸，延续”，export是“(尤指向国外) 输出”，exclude是“不让(或阻止)…进入，不包括”。可以：立即排除exclude，而这句话的主语是ethnic cuisine，export这个动作不能由它发出，因此排除export，extend指的是长度上的延伸，与cuisine也不能搭配，因此答案是A。

15. 【答案】D

【解析】这一段的主题句说：“民族特色的菜肴将向全世界扩展，并相互融合”。冒号后面的两句话是举例说明。第二句话的大概意思是说在纽约和芝加哥的小餐馆里有乌兹别克的菜，融合了波斯、俄国和中国的特色。第一句话是一个类似的例子，就是说可以在chifa这种食物的发源地秘鲁之外的地方找到它，beyond正好表达这个意思，所以选D。

16. 【答案】A

【解析】flavor是“滋味，味道”，flower是“花”，flour是“面粉”，flame是“火焰”。这句话的主干是dishes combine.答案明显是A。

17. 【答案】B

【解析】recreate是“使再现，重新创造”，rethink是“(尤指为作出改变而深入地)再想，重新思考”，represent是“代表，表述，描绘”，replace是“代替，取代”。根据这句话的主语New York chef Mario Batali和动词后的宾语pizza，可以首先排除represent和replace，因为这两个选项明显不能与之搭配，recreate是指重新创造出历史上的事物，使之再现，而pizza是一直存在的东西，并不是历史上曾经出现过而现在已经消逝的事物，用recreate也不合适，因此答案是B。

18. 【答案】A

【解析】portable是“便于携带的，轻便的”，attractive是“有吸引力的，引起注意的”，edible是“可以吃的，可食用的”，popular是“讨人喜欢的，流行的”。attractive和popular意思相近，无法取舍，所以同时排除，空格要填的单词和前面的thinner，healthier由and连接，构成并列，前两个单词分别描述了新披萨在厚度和对健康的影响这两方面的新特点，都很具体，而下文紧接着就提到“One size does not fit all”，意思是“一种尺寸不能满足所有人的要求”，这句话是对上面那句话中某个特点的进一步展开，按照这个思路，在portable和edible两个词中选择，portable指出了在体积上的新变化，所以答案是A。

19. 【答案】C

【解析】这句话逗号后面的那部分是非限制性定语从句，从句中没有缺少的句子成分，因此空格里填的不可能是关系代词，立即排除which，逗号前的先行词是designer delis，即由著名设计师设计的熟食店，表示地点，所以选择C。

20. 【答案】B

【解析】英语当中主菜与配菜的固定表达分别是main dish和side dish，所以答案是B。

Text 10

1.【答案】B

【解析】amount指不可数名词的“数量”，number指可数名词的“数目”，figure指一个“数字”，sum多指钱的“数量”。这里指家禽数目，是可数名词，因此答案是B。

2.【答案】A

【解析】cage意为“笼子”，是和文中的bird搭配唯一恰当的词，cave“洞穴”，case“箱子”和cart“人力车”都不可和bird搭配使句意通畅，所以选A。

3.【答案】B

【解析】but for是“若非，要不是”，except for是“除了，只是”，aside from是“除…以外”，away from是“离开”。原文的意思是供应商除了可以对鸟喙尖部稍加修剪外禁止去掉鸟喙。只有except for符合句子意思，因此B是正确答案。

4.【答案】C

【解析】pave the way是“为…作准备”，change the way是“改变…方式、方法”，lead the way是“为…之先，首先倡导”，open则不能和the way搭配。根据上下文可知麦当劳公司在家禽饲养方面率先作出明确规定，其后诸多快餐巨头纷纷效仿，因此答案是C。

5.【答案】A

【解析】“效仿，模仿”在英语里的固定短语是follow suit，所以选A。

6.【答案】B

【解析】adapt是“适应”，adopt是“采纳”，approve是“同意”，accept是“接受，同意”。首先排除adpat，而approve和accept意思相近，属于干扰选项，所以答案是B。提醒大家准确记忆adapt和adopt的拼写及用法，这两个词在词汇测试方面的出现频率相当高。

7.【答案】D

【解析】本题我们可以采用排除法。A、B、C三个选项都是“小册子”的意思，不能同时成为正确答案，只能选D，checklist的意思是“(核对用的)一览表(尤指完整的清单)”。

8.【答案】B

【解析】weigh in with是固定短语，意为“(在讨论等中)有把握地提出”。Consider，think和measure都不能和in with搭配，所以答案是B。

9.【答案】A

【解析】这四个选项相似之处在于它们有相同词头“pro”。prolong的意思是“拖延，延长”，proceed的意思是“进行，继续”，program为“设计，规划”之意，而progress则为“进步，发展”之意。只有prolong的过去分词能修饰use，因此只能选择A。

10.【答案】B

【解析】C，D选项易排除，effusive为“感情横溢的，流出的”，elective意思是“有选举权的，被选任的，可选修的”。A、B选项也是考试高频词汇，它们不仅拼写相似，意思也有相近之处，effective意思是“生效的，有效的”，而efficient是“效率高的，能干的，有效的”之意，法律条文的生效一般用effective，所以选B。

11.【答案】C

【解析】本句主干是“Questions+待选谓语动词”，意思是伴随着大规模家畜饲养场的发展出现了许多问题。我们先排除raised和posed，因为它们与question搭配时都作及物动词。rise为“升起，增长”之意，arise的意思是“出现，发生”，只有arise能作不及物动词和question搭配，因此C为正确答案。

12.【答案】C

【解析】解这道题时，首先要理清句子结构。逗号后面的句子应为非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整句话，待选词应为引导定语从句的关系代词，据此可排除what和how，又因为这个定语从句修饰的不是人，who也被排除。正确答案只能为C.

13.【答案】D

【解析】health是“健康”，life是“生命，生存”，wealth是“财富”，welfare是“福利”。从上文可以看出，本文讨论的是针对动物的福利提出的一些饲养动物的规定，因此D是正确答案。

14.【答案】B

【解析】decide是“决定，使下决心”，determine是“决定，确定，测定”，prove是“证明，证实”，test是“试验，测验”。要填的过去分词修饰的是fact，最合适的选项是determined，因此答案是B。

15.【答案】A

【解析】voluntary意思是“自发的，自愿的”，revolutionary为“革命的”，而preliminary为“预备的，初步的”，necessary则为“必须的，必需的”。从上文可以看出，这些guidelines(指导原则)是由家畜饲养行业自发制定的，而与食品零售行业和其他行业共享研究结果的目的是完善这些指导原则，因此A为正确答案。

16.【答案】B

【解析】express是“表达，表示”，address是“对付，处理”，suppress是“压制，镇压”，compress是“压缩，镇压”。express和address能和concerns搭配，但这句话的主语是ARS，不定式短语表示目的，即ARS开始实验的目的，显然address更合适，所以选B。

17.【答案】A

【解析】大家可用构词法知识对词义进行推测，duly为“适当地”，那么unduly应为“不适当地，过分地”之意，其他三个选项也可依此类推。根据句子意思判断，A为正确答案。原句意思是科学家想通过研究来验证现代的饲养方式是否对家畜形成过大的压力。

18.【答案】D

【解析】 performance是“表演，表现”，program是“规划，程序”，problem是“问题”，practice是“实践，行为，做法”。除了区别四个选项的意思之外，细心的同学会发现上句话中practice已经出现。从上下文中寻找正确答案是做完形填空题非常行之有效的技巧。D是正确答案。

19.【答案】B

【解析】sequential是“连续的”，initial是“最初的”，essential是“必不可少的”，financial是“金融的”。空格后搭配的是answer，A、C、D三个选项都可以排除，因此选择B。

20.【答案】A
