答案与题解：
1. A 这个句子的意思是说，最初的人类文明出现于水在周围的环境中起着重要作用的地方。所以要用where引导一个表示地点的状语丛集。又如：The young people should go where the country needs them the most.
2. C 在英语中，表示“对……的挑战”的意思要用 a challenge to … 。
3. D 这个句子的主语是 the Babylonians，谓语是后面的invented laws … 。可见，都好后面的成分要做补充说明用。根据已有的信息，我们可以推出这里who是正确的，它同后面的部分组成一个非限制性的定语从句，修饰主语。注意，that虽然也可以引导定语从句，但它不能引导非限制性定语从句。
4. D 这里只能填regulating，该词同后面的短语构成现在分词短语，修饰上文的laws。整个名词短语的意识是“管理用水的法律”。
5. B 当一个名词修饰另一个名词时，该名词往往用其单数形式(当然并非总是如此，下面这样的句子也是有人说的：We had a two weeks holiday.)。根据这一原则，1000-后接mile,像上文的 the 365-day就是遵循了这一原则。又如： a four-hour ride，a twenty-mile trip ,a five-room house, a six-storey building。
6. A remain in use 表示仍然在使用。 in use 是“在使用”的意思。又如：The textbook is no longer in use. If this is not in use, I’d like to borrow it.
7. B ancient 既是形容词也是名词，the ancients 尤指古代文明的人。
8. A 前文有so，这里应该填入that，that引导的小句表示一种结果。又如：The weather was so bad that the children stayed indoors the whole day.
9. B death 是可数名词，也是不可数名词。作可数名词时，是指某种类型的死(如：He died a natural death.)也可指死了多少人。 damage 是不可数名词，它的复数形式 damages 主要用在法律领域，指损害赔偿。如：The court ordered him to pay $1,000 damages to the person he had hurt. ruin 是不可数名词。可数形式ruins 常指“遗迹”、“废墟”等，如： The majestic ruins of Rome impressed her immensely.可以看出，在这三个选项中，只有deaths 是合适的。 cause 是使役动词，可以说“… it caused a million people to die.”但不可以说*“… it caused a million people.”所以填入people是错误的。
10. D 正确的答案是 civilization，意思是“印度河谷的人类文明”。
11. C 量词 many, a lot of, lots of 和much是一个连续统一体。具体地说，many只修饰可数名词，much是、只修饰不可数名词，而a lot of 和lots of 处于两者之间，既可限定可数名词，也可限定不可数名词。lots of 比 a lot of 在口气上更随便些。下面是一些具体的用 a lot of 和lots of 的例子：I remember a lot of things. / A lot of our land is used to grow crops for export. / There are lots of things I could do. / I want lots of food. 英语中没有lot of 和 a lots of 这样的两次， land在此处是不可数名词，因此，唯一合适的选择是much。
12. B 正确的答案是填入as ，此处的as 引导的是表示方式的状语从句，整个句子的意思是说“今天，水就像它一直控制人类一样仍然在控制着人类”。由于原文前后两个句子之间没有一种因果关系，所以填入for 或because 都是不对的。而whereas 一词通常表示对比关系，如：The boys are singing whereas the girls are dancing.所以填入这个词在语义上是不合适的。
13. A 这个句子的意思是说，水的存在决定着人们选择安家建城的位置。Govern 和control都有“控制”和“支配”的意思。Govern可以是人的支配，也可以使自然法则或自然力量的控制或支配。所以，govern是一个合适的词。lead的意思是“引导;领导”。Influence的意思是“影响”。
14. C 如(9)中所说，cause是使役动词，只说“… can cause man or his herbs or his crops ”句子不完整。Violate一词的后面可以跟 a rule, a law，但不能说是man。Damage一词的后面常跟物质的东西，如a house, a village, crops等，也不能接man 。所以只有kill一词是正确的选择。注意 kill可以跟“活着的东西”，所以kill his crops 在语义上完全成立。又如：The cold weather has killed the flowers.
15. D link 一词可跟to 搭配，又如：The bridge links this city to that village.
An Early Form of Jazz Music
Music comes in many forms; most countries have a style of their own. At the turn of the last century, ____1 jazz was born , America had no prominent ____2 of its own. No one knows exactly when was invented or by whom. But it began to be ____3____ in the early 1890s. Jazz is America's contribution to
____4_____ music. In contrast to classical music, which __5__ formal European traditions, jazz is spontaneous and free in form1.

The __8__ of the music are as interesting as the music itself. American Negroes, or blacks, as they are called today, were the jazz pioneers. They were brought to the Southern states __9__ slaves. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long hours. When a Negro died his friends and relatives __ 10 ___ a procession to carry to body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a band often accompanied the 11 . On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music, suited to the occasion. __12__ on the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Death had removed one of their number2, but the living were glad to be 13__. The band played 14 music, improvising on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes3 15 __ at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form of jazz.
词汇：
Jazz [d?æz] n. 爵士乐 spontaneous [sp?n'teinj?s,-ni?s] adj.自发的

plantation [plæn'tei∫?n] n.种植园 procession [pr?'se∫?n,pr?u-] n. 行列、队伍
cemetery ['semitri] n.公墓 improvise ['impr?vaiz] v. 即兴
注释：
1. jazz is spontaneous and free in form 爵士乐是自发的，不拘形式
2. Death had removed one of their number 死亡带走了他们中的一员，number这里是(人或单位的)总和、全体
3. …improvising on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes 根据曲调的和声和旋律即兴演奏
练习：
1. A) while B) when C) since D) as
2. A) music B) songs C) melodies D) tunes

12. A)Furthermore B)Similarly C)But D)Therefore
13. A)live B) alive C)life D)there
14. A)sad B)solemn C)happy D)funeral
15. A)sung B)showed C)played D)expressed
答案与题解：
1. B when jazz was born 是定语从句，修饰at the turn of the last century, 所以这里需要填入的是一个引导定语从句的关联副词，只有when具有这一功能。
2. A 当时美国还没有明显属于自己的音乐，其他三个选项的词义都十分具体，美国不可能没有。
3. C 爵士是音乐，所以noticed 和 found 都不合适，listen 是不及物动词，如果要用，也应该有个to，而这里是‘听到’，不是‘听着’的意思，所以应该用heard。
4. C 爵士乐不属于古典音乐，也不属于严肃音乐或圣乐，只可能是流行音乐。
5. B 古典音乐发端于欧洲，所以它遵循的是欧洲传统。
6. C 从跟后面这几个词moods, interests, emotions 的搭配考录，只能选expressing
7. A 爵士是音乐，是有声音的，所以只能选sounded, 在二十世纪二十年代，爵士乐听上去就像当时的美国。
8. D 下面要讲的是有关爵士乐的起源，所以只能找origins，其他选项的词义都不对。
9. C 黑人是作为奴隶被带到南方各州来的。
10. B 他们自发形成一支队伍，只能说form a procession, 其他三个词的搭配都不对。11. C 根据前一句很容易就可以判断应该选 procession。
12. C 这句和前一句形成对比，所以应该选But。
13. B 与‘死’相对的是‘还活着’，英语就是alive。
14. C 可以想见，在回家路上他们演奏的音乐一定是比较轻快的。所以选happy,另外三个选项都和happy的意义相悖。
15. C 能和 tunes搭配的只有 sung和played两个，但是上文中提到在新奥尔良葬礼上总有一个乐队在演奏，所以这里应该选 played 而不是 sung。
The Ideal Husband
In the study by Daniel Kruger at the US's University of Michigan, 854 subjects viewed a series of ___3____ head shots that had been digitally changed to exaggerate or minimize masculine. traits2 They then ____ 4____ questions about how they expected the men in the photos to behave.
Most participants said that those with more masculine features were ____5____ to be risky, competitive, and more apt to fight, challenge bosses, cheat on spouses and put less effort into parenting. Those with more feminine ___6___ were seen as good parents and husbands, hard workers and emotionally supportive mates.
But, despite all the negative characteristics, when asked who they would choose for a short-term relationship, women selected the more masculine
___7___ men. Brad and George, both chiseled jaws and well-defined brows, then would be good for a ___8____ romance, not for something longer.
The study was published in the December issue of the US journal Personal Relationships.
Kruger said that from an evolutionary perspective, this ___9___ sense. The key is testosterone, the hormone responsible ___10___ the development of masculine facial features and other sexual characteristics. It has been found to affect the body's ability to fight disease: men with high levels of the hormone are typically ___11___ and healthy - traits women want to pass on to their children.
However, increased testosterone has also been linked to ___12___ and violence in relationships. So, these men ___13___ produce high quality offspring, but they don't always make great parents or faithful mates, Kruger says.
The scientific community3 have ___ 14____ skepticism toward physiognomy, which links facial characteristics to certain behavioral traits. But Kruger argues that the research is a valuable tool for understanding mating strategies. And, of course, for explaining why Tony Leung and Takeshi Kanesshiro have millions of female ___15___ . It might have to do with their genes. Or something to do with ours.

masculine ['mɑ:skjulin] adj.男性的 feminine ['feminin] adj.女性的

答案与题解：
1. B 这四个词的意思是：make:做;judge:判断; date:约会;meet:见面。本文的主题是讲女人找伴侣。从所在句子的表示方式的介词短语 by how masculine their features are(根据他们男性特征的情况)，选择judge在语义上比较一致。
2. C 前后两个小句表达的是一种对比，因此用while是对的。
3. D female: 女性的;beautiful:漂亮的;attractive: 吸引人的;male:男性的。该提问的是：854个调查对象看了一系列什么样的头部镜头?在第一题的题解中我们说到，本文的主题是讲女人找伴侣，同时也说到女人是根据男性的特征来选择配偶的。因此在这四个选项中选male是对的。
4. A answer: 回答; ask: 问;construct: 构造;build: 建造。 该提问的是：这854个调查对象看完一系列的男性的头部镜头后还要做什么?显然，应该是回答问题而不是提问题。因此选answered 是对的。
5. A likely: 可能的;possible:可能的;probable:可能的; necessary: 必然的。合适的选项是likely。其它的选项填入后生成的都是错误的句子。
6. D body: 躯体; hand: 手;arm:手臂; face:脸。由于调查对象看的是男士的头部，因此选face是对的。
7. C seem:好像;appear:出现;look:看上去;pretend: 假装。我们可以说： These men look very masculine.这些男人看上去非常男性。也可以说these masculine looking men。因此用looking 是对的。
8. B fast:快;brief:短暂;quick:快;swift: 快。这里有三个表示“快”的英文词，肯定不是合适的选项。另外，紧随其后的短语是重复，其中有longer(更长一点)这个词，这就提醒我们应该用brief这个词。
9. A make:制造; cause:使得;do:干; form: 形成。make senses 是“说得通的意思，是固定的用法。”
10. C 这四个都是介词。responsible 后面跟for。
11. D normal:正常的; ordinary:普通的;weak:弱;strong:强。And是个并立词。主意并立词要求所衔接的词、词组或句子在语义上能匹配。可以看出"strong and healthy"是匹配的，但是"weak and healthy" 就不匹配。
12. D 这事同一个词表现出的不同形态变化。Link后面的to 是介词to 而不是不定式to, 因此须用cheating。
13. B must:必须;might:可能;have to: 必须; should: 应该。女人根据男人的特征选择伴侣这只是一个因素，因此下结论应该留有余地，用 might是比较合适的。
14. A show:显出; tell: 告诉; state: 陈述; say: 说。除 shown 之外, told、stated 或said 填入后生成的句子都是错的。
15. B spouse:配偶; fan:狂热仰慕者;partner:配偶; mate:伴侣。我们的世界知识告诉我们，任何人都不可能有数百万的配偶，所以只有fans是合适的选择。
