12．The noise from my neighbor's sitting room ______can be clearly heard in my apartment，which makes me distracted from reading．（　　）
A．is decoratedB．being decoratedC．decoratedD．to be decorated

分析 邻居家正装修起居室的噪音可以在我的公寓被清楚地听到，这让我在阅读中总是分心．

解答 答案B．    考查非谓语动词  根据句意可知，此处缺少的是非谓语，应该是作sitting room 的后置定语，decorate与sitting room 之间是被动关系，并且是动作正在发生，所以使用现在分词的被动式作后置定语，故答案为B

点评 本题属于非谓语动词的考查，应该学会先判断语态，根据非谓语动词与逻辑主语间的主被动关系可以排除部分干扰项；再根据时态排除部分干扰项，从而可以得出正确选项．

3．Pakistan's mud mystery
On September 24，2013，an earthquake struck the southwest of Pakistan，taking more than 300lives and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless．But after the horrible disaster，people living by the coast received another shock---they saw a new island，which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere，in the sea just over a kilometer from the shore，which has become a global curiosity．
How was it formed in just a few minutes？
As we know，islands in the sea are usually formed by volcanoes．There are many volcanoes under the sea．As the hot lava （岩浆） rushes out of the earth's crust （地壳） and cools down，it piles up and forms the shape of a mountain．When the mountain grows higher than the sea level，the part that's above the water becomes an island．
This time the island was brought about by a"mud volcano"instead of by a regular volcano．Lava is not the only thing that's locked under the earth's crust---there is also gas．When an earthquake happens and breaks part of the crust，the gas is released at an extremely high speed，pushing mud up to the surface．But only extremely powerful earthquakes can cause mud volcanoes to push up enough mud to produce islands---and this 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Pakistan was strong enough．The island is about 20meters high，up to about 90meters wide and 30meters long，nearly the size of a soccer field．
In fact，mud volcano islands aren't new．This is the fourth island of this kind in the region since 1945．But those islands usually didn't last long．"It will probably be gone within a couple of months，"said Bill Barnhart，a researcher with the US Geological Survey．After all，"it's just a big pile of mud that was on the seafloor that got pushed up"．

59．When will a mud volcano island be possibly formed？（within 6words）

1．In the past，falling oil prices have given a boost to the world economy，but recent forecasts for global growth have been toned down（不容乐观），even as oil prices sink lower and lower．Docs that mean the link between lower oil prices and growth has weakened？
  Some experts say there are still good reasons to believe cheap oil should heat up the world economy．Consumers have more money in their pockets when they're paying less at the pump．They spend that money on other things，which stimulates the economy．
  The biggest gains go to countries that import most of their oil like China，Japan，and India，But doesn't the extra money in the pockets of those countries'consumers mean an equal loss in oil producing countries，cancelling out the gains？Not necessarily，says economic researcher Sara Johnson．"Many oil producers built up huge reserve funds when prices were high，so when prices fall they will draw on their reserves to support government spending，and subsidies（补贴） for their consumers．"
   But not al!oil producers have big reserves．In Venezuela，collapsing oil prices have sent its economy into free-fall．
  Economist Carl Weinberg believes the negative effects of plunging oil prices are overwhelming（压跨）the positive effects of cheaper oil．The implication（牵连）is a sharp decline in global trade，which has plunged（暴跌）partly because oil-producing nations can't afford to import as much as they used to．
   Sara Johnson acknowledges that the global economic benefit from a fall in oil prices today is likely lower than it was in the past．One reason is that more countries are big oil producers now，so the nations suffering from the price drop account for a larger share of the global economy．
  Consumers，in America at least，are acting cautiously with the savings they're getting at the gas pump，as the memory of the recent great recession（经济衰退）is still fresh in their mind．And a number of oil-producing countries are trimming their gasoline subsidies and raising taxes，so the net savings for global consumers is not as big as the oil price plunge might suggest．

A．They use their money reserves to back up consumption．
B．They suspend import of necessities from overseas．
C．They reduce production drastically to boost oi1 prices．
