分析 本文為廣告應(yīng)用文，介紹了三個地方志愿者工作的具體情況和注意事項．

解答 41---44 ABDC
41．答案A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一則廣告"You will be working at"The Village"，an English and Romanian language magazine"可知，The Village是一本雜志的名字，故選A．
42．答案B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二則廣告"After that you will take part in dives to clean up the seabed"可知，這里的志愿者要去清理海底，故選B．
43．答案D．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)后文的"you will spend your two weeks based at our sports placement in Accra learning soccer coaching"可知，coaching意為"教，當(dāng)教練"，故選D．
44．答案C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一則廣告"You will be working alongside the local experts．"你會跟當(dāng)?shù)貙＜乙黄鸸ぷ鳎鶕?jù)第二則廣告"you will become part of this tiny island community（社區(qū)）"你將會成為社區(qū)的一部分．根據(jù)第三則廣告"On this project you will spend two weeks living with a host family"你將和當(dāng)?shù)丶彝ゴ粼谝黄饍芍埽赏茢�，這三個志愿者項目都要和本地人待在一起．故選C．

點評 高考英語應(yīng)用文閱讀的常見的考查題型有：細(xì)節(jié)理解題、推理判斷題、主旨大意題及猜測詞義題等．解題技巧如下：1．題干定位法．先閱讀題干，然后根據(jù)問題的要求，按照題目順序依次有針對性地結(jié)合題干中的關(guān)鍵詞到文中定位，閱讀相關(guān)部分并快速尋找有效信息．再將原文和選項進行比較．當(dāng)問題與原文材料相同的時候，對號入座；如果問題與原文不同．則可以同義替換、歸納事實等． 2．補全成分法．省略詞和省略旬在應(yīng)用文中大量出現(xiàn)．對于影響語境理解的省略情況．我們應(yīng)將省略句補全，從而更加準(zhǔn)確地理解其意思． 3．信息再加工法．此方法主要用于詞義或句意推測題．以及涉及數(shù)字轉(zhuǎn)換的判斷推理題．此類題目需要考生對原文相關(guān)信息作正確理解，并通過推理判斷或是計算．對信息進行再加工．這個理解可能牽涉到對某一句話或某哆句子的理解．考生在理解其意義時．一定要捕捉到關(guān)鍵性的詞． 4．排除法．排除法在應(yīng)用文閱讀巾使用也比較多．考生可以根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞．找準(zhǔn)相關(guān)句、段的內(nèi)容．再仔細(xì)對照，排除于文章內(nèi)容不一致的錯誤信息，從而確定選項．考生要注意根據(jù)所提問題采用尋讀、跳讀的方法．這樣往往可以達到事半功倍的效果．

1．"Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere，but changes in temperature，humidity （濕度） and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide，"said researchers from  the National University of Singapore
    45percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past．The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats，caused by climate change，are possible reasons for the shrinking of creatures．
"We do not yet know the exact mechanisms （機制） involved，or why some organisms are getting smaller while others are unaffected，"the researchers said．"Until we understand more，we could be risking negative consequences that we can't yet quantify．"
    The change was big in cold-blooded animals．Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make creatures smaller．An increase of only 1℃caused nearly a 10percent increase in metabolism（新陳代謝）．Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards．Fish are smaller now too．Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers，experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing．
    Warm-blooded animals weren't immune （兔疫） from the size change caused by climate change．Many birds are now smaller．Red deer are weaker．And polar bears are smaller，compared with historical records．
    This isn't the first time that has happened in Earth's history.55million years ago，a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees，spiders and ants to shrink by 50t0 75percent over several thousand years．That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change．
    The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough，especially those with long generation times．So，it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in the future．

67．What does the text mainly talk about？D
A．Why some species become smaller．
B．How climate changes in Earth's history．
C．Climate change has many negative effects．
D．Species are becoming smaller as climate gets warmer．
68．What does the underlined word"trumped"in paragraph l mean？A
A．beaten     B．gained      C．destroyed    D．lost
69．Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe thatB．
A．they have found the exact causes for creatures getting smaller
B．increase in energy use can lead to creatures getting smaller
C．climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals
D．a(chǎn)ll the animals on the earth have become smaller
70．What does the auther feel about the climate change？A
A．Worried    B．Optimistic   C．Disappointed  D．Shameful．

To discourage people from smoking，cities including Shanghai，Hangzhou and Guangzhou have launched local smoking bans．Beijing is the latest one to take action．It passed anti-smoking regulations on Nov 28，banning smoking in open-air spaces such as kindergartens，schools，and hospitals．Teachers are forbidden to smoke in front of students in primary and secondary schools．The rules will take effect on June l，2015．People who break the rules will be fined up t0 200yuan．Managers and operators will be responsible for carrying them out in public places．
China is not the only nation to fight smoking．In March 2004lreland became the first country to introduce a ban on smoking in workplaces and public areas，with fines of up to 3，000euros （23，000yuan） for those who break the law．Many other countries，such as the UK and the US，then followed．
25．What's the purpose of the first paragraph？C
A．To stress the importance of anti-smoking．

B．China places greater emphasis on tobacco control
C．smoking is not so popular as before in China
D．the mass media has a negative effect on tobacco control
27．According to the anti-smoking regulations in Beijing，which of the following aspects are mentioned in the passage？．C
①Smoking is banned in schools and hospitals．
②The regulation will take effect the moment it is passed．
③Managers and operators will be responsible for performing the rules．
④Those who break the rules will be put into prison at once．

5．Cleveland has won the distinction of being the worst city in the United States，according to a new survey．The city has high unemployment，terrible weather，heavy taxes，and ordinary sports teams，all of which have pushed it to the No.1 position in the Forbes．com list．
"Cleveland was the only city that fell in the bottom half of rankings in all nine categories．And it has been entitled with a less than endearing nickname：the Mistake by the lake，"Forbes said on its website，
The economic downturn hit cities across the United States last year particularly in the mid-west section of the country．Crime and unemployment secured the No.2 spot for Stockton，which held the top position in last year's ranking．Memphis got third place thanks to its violent crime rate and the number of officials who are guilty，while the poor auto industry drove the Michigan cities of Detroit and Flint into the top five．
"A lot of the cities that showed up on our list are going through hard times fight now，dealing with high unemployment，with declining producing bases．Many have experienced strong movement out of the city over the last 20 and 30 years．"
Despite （盡管） its fine weather，Miami scored in the bottom 10 percent in commuting （上下班往返） time，and violent crime which sent it into sixth place．
"One of the biggest surprises is Miami．The good weather and no state income taxes blur some of the severe problems that Miami has related to crime as well as long commutes，"Badenhausen added．
Florida was followed in the poor ranking by St Louis，Buffalo，Canton，Ohio and Chicago，which has the country's highest sales tax at 10.25 percent．New York，the nation's biggest city，is rich in culture but its lengthy commuting time and high income taxes pushed it into 16th place．
68．From the text we can learn thatD．
A．Cleveland has been entitled a lovely nickname

2．Are we getting more stupid？According to Gerald Crabtree，a scientist at Stanford University in the US，we are．
You may not want to hear this，but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2，000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill．"If an average Greek from 1，000 BC were transported to modern times，he or she would be one of the brightest among us，"Crabtree told The Guardian．
At the heart of Crabtree's thinking is a simple idea．In the past，intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food．The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death．However，after the spread of agriculture，when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities，the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced．
This is not hard to understand．Most of the time，pressure is what keeps us going-you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework； the pressure of looking pretty prompts（促使） you to lose weight when summer comes．And the same is also true of our intelligence-if we think less，we become less smart．
These mutations（變異） are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3，000 years．The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes．He found that among the 2，000 to 5，000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence，there are two or more mutations in each of us．
However，Crabtree's theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities，but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence．For example，spearing a tiger doesn't necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem．Moreover，the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays．
"You wouldn't get Stephen Hawking 2，000 years ago．He just wouldn't exist，"Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick，UK，told Live Science．"But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights（洞察力） that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation．"
61．What is Crabtree's recent finding according to the article？D
A．The Greeks from 1，000 BC could have been the smartest in human history．
B．Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays．
C．Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming．
D．Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence．
62．According to Crabtree，ancient humansB
A．had much more genes that determine human intelligence
B．were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressures
C．relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligence
D．developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the hard realities
63．Some argue that Crabtree's theory is false because they thinkD．
A．people today are under much more pressure than early humans
B．it's ridiculous to compare a hunter's and a poet's intelligence
C．modern education is far more advanced than ancient education
D．human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past
64．What is Thomas Hills'attitude toward Crabtree's theory？B
A．Supportive          B．Unfavorable           C．Worried            D．Confused．
