解答 DBCDA 46-50 BCBAD 51-55 ABACD 56-60CABCD
41.D 考查名词 study 意为"研究",根据下文,这是指对未来20年地球上的情况变化所作的研究.
42.B 考查形容词.与后面的人口增长,环境污染等联系起来看,在2010年地球上的状况(picture)将会令人不愉快(unpleasant).
43.C 考查形容词.为人口继续增长,所以世界会越来越拥挤(crowded).
44.D 考查短语 指人口数目的多用large,不用small.指人口达到某一数目用"as large as+数词".
45.A 考查形容词.从现状来看,人口增长快的国家多为发展但不发达的国家;而城市人口急剧增长的则是一些发展中的国家(developing countries).
46.B 考查代词.前面提到了两个城市,故此空只能填each.neither具有否定意义,不合句意,不能插入谓语之中.
47.C 考查动词.根据相临几句是讲粮食增长问题,故选increase"增长".
48.B 考查连接词.前后两句具有转折意义:农民所生产的粮食将比1985多90%,但多数增产粮食的国家是已经有足够粮食供人们生活的国家.
49.A 考查副词.already 意为"已经",由下句可知:是指已经有足够粮食供人们生活的国家.
50.D 考查动词.expect意为"预计",句意为:在亚洲南部的国家预计增产幅度不大.
51.A 考查动词.由changing farms into deserts可知:不当农业生产方式毁坏(destroy)了大片生产粮食的土地.
52.B 考查动词.由于扩建城市,修建房屋,必然侵占大量农田,故选lost(失去).
53.A 考查名词短语.由burn coal and oil必然排放大量烟雾,可推知:此处指空气污染(air pollution)
54.C 考查名词由more and more trees are cut down可推知:此处指森林(forests)可能消失.
55.D 考查动词.根据该句的句意可知,专家说地球到2010年的状况可能会不好.
56.C 考查动词.exist 意为"存在".由上下文可知:环境正遭受污染和破坏,专家们只是想保存今天的状况.
57.A 考查动词.前面是介词by,故后只能用动名词形式,settle the problems 意为"解决问题".
58.B 考查连接词.still 意为"还有",加强语气.句意为:现在还有时间给世界各国制定行动计划.
59.C 考查介词.此处是一个固定短语,即work out a plan 意为"制定计划".
60.D 考查动词.结合该句的语境可知,专家们警告说等待太长的时间作出决定将会极大地减少成功的机会来源.
点评 本篇阅读题型逻辑清晰.许多答案的选择,起关键作用的是上下文的关系,也就是说,对上下文的理解是非常重要的,要在情景中选择,而非只看语法和单句.
