解答 答案:
51.B 细节理解题 根据第一段中的"It lies between Canada and Mexico"可知,美国位于加拿大与墨西哥之间;故排除"A.加拿大位于美国和墨西哥之间";根据本段中的最后一句"There are over 300million people living there now"可知,美国目前有三亿多人,而不是300亿人;故排除C;根据第四段"The new state of Hawaii is far from the states of the east coast of the continent."可知,新成立的州---夏威夷,距离美国大陆东海岸的各州都很远,由于D.提到的是西海岸,故排除D;根据第五段中的"The older park (Disneyland) is in Los Angeles,California;"比较老古的迪斯尼乐园是在加利福尼亚的洛杉矶,可知B."洛杉矶的迪斯尼乐园是比较古老的公园."的说法正确;故选B.
52.D 句意理解题 通读最后一段可知,"America is a multicultural(多元文化) country."为本段中的中心句,主要论述了美国是一个拥有多元文化的国家;故此处的 America is like a"vegetable soup"指的是美国融合了各民族的文化;故选D.
53.B 主旨大意题 通读全文可知,本文主要从构成,地理位置,面积,人口,首都,著名的城市以及文化等各个方面介绍了美国;故选B.

A.What does the Olympic Motto mean? B.Research on individual styles improves performance. C.Research holds the key to success. D.Personalized programs will help. E.New equipment has made a difference. F.Is there a limit to record-breaking? |
A world record is every athlete's dream,but the hard-won records of a few years ago are mostly just today's qualifying times.Roger Bannister's famous four-minute mile of 1956has been beaten by nearly 15seconds,while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the women's marathon since.1953.‘Faster,higher,stronger',is the Olympic motto,and today's competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve.But one wonders if this can continue.
77.E
The last forty years have seen many important technological advances.For example,since the introduction of strong flexible,fiberglass poles,over a meter has been added to the pole vault record.There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoe.And while a shoe won't actually make someone run faster,modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable,injury-free training.
78.C
Pushing back the limits now depends more on science,technology and medicine than anything else.Athletic technique,training programmes and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimetres to that elusive world record.It seems that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough.
79.B
The research to find more efficient ways of moving goes on.Analysis of an athlete's style is particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing.Studies show that long jumpers need to concentrate not on the speed of approach,as once thought,but on the angle their bodies make with the ground as they take off.However,the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved by new styles.For instance only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump.
80.D
In the future,it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programmes.Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes overtraining,the cause of many injuries.If athletes feed all their information into a database,it may then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut.

A few weeks later,when I was running on the same street on a bright sunny day,I (41)C the same man in the same clothes sitting down resting.The only (42)Dwas my umbrella right beside him,looking like he (43)Ait.It was very clean and neatly placed.At that moment,I realized it didn't (44)D that I couldn't give him a house or a job.I only did what I was able to and it made a whole lot of (45)Bseem to go away.
