visited上下文意义呼应。
考点：文章主题词/上下文意义衔接词
4. A) investigate(调查， 研究) B) attack(攻击，(疾病突然)发作) C) shoot(射击， 拍摄) D) confront(使面对)
Soon(很快， 不久)， so(如此， 因此) many sightings(目睹事件， 视力) were made that the US military(军事的) began(开始) to __4__. 4.A 空格处需要出现不及物动词， 因此首先排除D(及物动词)。 该句说“不久由于出现了这么多的目击事件， 以至于美国军方开始...”, 根据该句句意判断A(调查)出现在空格中最恰当。
考点：常见动词的辨析/上下文意义衔接词
5. A) named(命名, 任命，名字) B) called(呼吁， 命名， 打电话)
C) known(知道，了解，分辨， 知名的) D) dubbed(配音， 授予称号， 鼓声)
It called these strange(奇怪的，陌生的) objects(物体， 反对) UFOs(不明飞行物) -Unidentified Flying Objects, and that is how(怎样， 多么) they are __5__ today. 5.C name和call是近义词， 都可以表示“命名”， 因此在“命名”这个词义上彼此排除掉，name虽然还有“任命， 提名”这样的词义， 但这样的词义放入空格中意义不通(空格所在的句子结构说“那就是现在它们(不明飞行物)怎样被...的”)，因此A和B都不是答案。 剩下的选项中选项C(了解)放入空格中意义通顺(那就是不明飞行物怎样被人们知道的)， 因此答案为C。
考点：常见动词的辨析
6. A) believers(信徒) B) thinkers (思想家) C) followers(追随者) D) liars(说谎者)
7. A) hiding(隐藏, 隐瞒) B) covering (覆盖, 包括, 盖子, 封面) C) cheating(欺骗) D) tricking(欺骗， 诡计， 诀窍)
Military investigations(调查) found no evidence(证据) of visitors from outer space(外层空间). But that did not stop(停止，阻止， 车站) the true(真正的， 忠实的， 真实的) __6__. The military(军事的) were __7__ up, they said.
6.A 空格所在的句子说“但是那(军事调查没有发现有外空来访者的证据)不能阻止真正的...”由此可以看出，最合适的词是believers。
考点：词义相关词的辨析/上下文之间的意义关系(转折) 7.B 只有cover可以跟up搭配。因此选择covering。Cover up是固定搭配，其含义为“掩盖”。
考点：固定搭配结构(动词短语) 补充相似短语结构： go up上升, 增长 stand up站起来
set up 设立, 竖立, 创(纪录) take up 拿起, 开始从事, 占据 put up举起, 抬起, 推举 use up用完, 耗尽 drink up 喝光
8. A) definitely(明确地，肯定地) B) undoubtedly(毫无疑问地) C) necessarily(必要地，必定地) D) maybe(可能)
Or(或者， 否则， 即) __8__ it was because(因为) the travelers(旅行者) from space(太空)
were of such superior(出众的， 较高的) intelligence(智力) that they could hide from (躲避， 避开)the most sophisticated(高度发展的， 老练的) military analysts(分析家).
8.D 备选项中A， B和C词义接近：都可以表示“肯定地”， 因此彼此排除掉， 答案只能为D。 其实空格所在句子的第一个词是or(或者)，表示两种情况都有可能，因此只有用maybe在语义上才是一致的。 考点：常见副词的辨析。
9. A) awkward(笨拙的) B) crude(天然的， 未加工的) C) religious(宗教上的) D) foolish(愚蠢的) People have always seen strange lights(灯，发光体, 光) in the sky(在天空中). In the past (在过去)these were explained(解释) in__9__ ways.
9.C 根据空格所在的局部结构“were explained in ...ways/以...的方式被解释”判断B(天然的，未加工的)出现在空格中不合适。借助接下来的句子“In a world(世界) where religion (宗教)was less(较少地) influential(有影响力的)…”(在一个宗教的影响不如以前……的世界里)，判断合适的选项是religious。 考点：上下文意义衔接词
10. A) planets(行星) B) continents(大陆， 陆地) C) countries(国家， 乡村) D) regions(区域， 领域)
In a world(世界) where religion (宗教)was less influential(有影响力的) and science fiction (科幻小说)was popular(流行的， 受欢迎的), signs(标记， 记号， 迹象，示意) from god(上帝) were replaced by (被...替代)visitors from other __10__.
10.A 本文的主题是讲不明飞行物，也就是讲来自外星球的人，因此合适的选择是planets。
考点：文章主题。
11. A) cool(凉爽的， 冷漠的， 使冷， 使镇定) B) star (恒星， 明星) C) nuclear(核子的， 原子核的， 中心的) D) cold(寒冷， 感冒， 寒冷的， 不热情的) The date(日期， 日子，约会) of the first(第一的， 首先) UFO signings (迹象)was also(也， 同样地) significant(有意义的， 重大的). In 1947, World War II (第2次世界大战)had just ended(结束) and the __11__ war was just beginning.
11.D 正确地回答这道题需要有一点世界知识。第二次世界大战结束后冷战开始，因此选择cold是正确的。核战争(nuclear war)如果会发生的话，文明早就消失了。cold war是冷战。
考点：固定搭配结构(名词性的短语结构)
12. A) above (在...上方， 在上面，上面的) B) to(向，往，到...为止， 比， 到(程度，范围))
C) at(在， 在...方面) D) up(向上， 到(较高的地方)， 向上， 沿着)
Humanity(人类， 仁慈) seemed locked in (被封闭在)endless(无穷无尽的) conflicts(斗争， 冲突). Like generations(一代人， 产生) before them, people looked __12__ the skies for(为了) help(帮助).
12.B look to是依赖。Look to...for... 是指“为了...而指望...”。因此to是合适的选择。相关的句子说的是：跟先辈们一样，人们乞求老天来帮助他们。look at是“看”， Look up是“往上看，查寻 ”。 look up是一个干扰项，look up在表示“往上看”时是不及物动词性的短语结构。
look up 往上看
I am wondering(对...感到吃惊， 想知道) why they are looking up. 我想知道为什么他们都
向上看。
Look up 表示“查询”时，是及物动词性的短语结构：
When you do not understand(理解) a word, you can look it up in this dictionary(字典). 当你不懂一个单词时，可以查这本词典。 考点：固定搭配结构(动词性的短语结构)
13. A) traditional(传统的， 惯例的) B) backward(向后(地)的， 相反(地)的， 落后(地)的)
C) classical(古典的) D) advanced(高级的， 先进的)
But instead of (不是...)seeking(寻求) God(上帝), they looked for (寻找)help from super-intelligent(有超常智慧的) aliens(外国人， 外星人， 外国的， 不同的) with __13__ technology(技术). Belief in (相信...的存在)UFOs became(变成， 成为) the first(首要的， 第一的) religion(宗教，信仰) of science.
13.D 空格所在的局部结构说“aliens with ...technology/有着...技术的外星人”， 由此判断D(先进的)是答案。
考点：常见形容词的辨析(通过派生法而形成的形容词)职称英语教材 14. A) unthinkable(不能想象的， 不可思议的) B) impossible (不可能的) C) reasonable(合理的) D) insensible(无知觉的， 难以察觉的)

14.C 与空格所在的句子并列的句子说：宇宙是一个很大的地方。从这句话可以推出，我们有理由假设在那儿有生命的存在。因此，选reasonable是对的。 考点：it句型
15. A) performed(做， 表演， 完成任务) B) carried (携带) C) brought(带来) D) taken(拿走,占领, 获得, 接受)
It is possible(可能的) that aliens have worked out (设计出， 计算出，可以解决)how to travel(旅行) through(穿过) space. Yet some people report(报告) that they have been taken by (被带走)aliens and have had experiments(实验， 做实验) __15__ on them.
15.A 根据空格所在的局部结构“have had experiments...on them/使实验在他们身上被...”判断A(做)是答案。

The whole of the United States cheered its latest hero,Ashley Smith,with the Federal Bureau of investigation saying it was planning to give a big reward to her for having a brave heart and wise mind.
__(46)___. She was moving into her apartment in Atlanta, Georgia early on the morning of March 12,when a man followed her to her door and put a gun to her side.“I started walking to my
door, and I felt really, really afraid,”she said in a TV interview last week. The man was Brian Nichols,33.He was suspected of killing three people at an Atlanta courthouse(法院)on March 11 and later of killing a federal agent. __(47)___.
Nichols tied Smith up with tape, but released her after she repeatedly begged him not to take her life.“I told him if he hurt me, my little girl wouldn?t have a mummy,”she said. In order to calm the man down, she read to him from“The Purpose-Driven Life”,a best-selling religious book. He asked her to repeat a paragraph“about what you thought your purpose in life was-what talents were you given.”___(48)___.
“I basically just talked to him and tried to gain his trust,” Smith said.
Smith said she asked Nichols why he chose her.“He said he thought I was an angel sent from God, and we were Christian sister and brother,”she said.“And that he was lost, and that God led him to me to tell him that he had hurt a lot of people.”___(49)___. She said Nichols was surprised when she made him breakfast and that the two of them watched television coverage(报道)of the police hunt for him.“I cannot believe that?s me,”Nichols told the woman. Then, Nichols asked Smith what she thought he should do. She said,“I think you should turn yourself in. If you don?t, lots more people are going to get hurt.”
Eventually, he let her go.___(50)___. A US$60,000 reward had been posted for Nichols? capture. Authorities said they did not yet know if Smith would be eligible(有资格的)for that money.
A The local police were searching for him.
B Smith is a 26-year-old single mother with a daughter. C Smith tried very hard to kill Nichols.
D She even cooked breakfast for the man before he allowed her to leave. E And the two of them discussed this topic. F Then she called the police. 答案与解析：
1. 分析文章标题：a heroic(英勇的) woman 2.分析被选项， 注意被选项中的篇章词汇：
A The local(当地的) police(警方) were searching for(搜查) him.
B Smith is a 26-year-old single(单身的) mother with a daughter(女儿). C Smith tried very hard(努力地) to kill(杀死) Nichols.
D She even(甚至) cooked breakfast(早餐) for the man before(在...之前) he allowed(允许) her to leave(离开).
E And the two of them discussed(讨论) this topic(话题， 主题). F Then she called the police(警方). 提示1：
被选项中的篇章词汇必须要在空格前文中有呼应的内容(篇章)， 这样被选项才可能是空格处的答案; 提示2：
被选项中只要有两处或两处以上的词语及结构与空格前后语句中的词语与结构形成呼应(同一个单词的反复再现，家族词汇的呼应， 近义词/反义词之间的呼应， 主题相关词的呼应)， 则该被选项很可能就是答案; 3.直接解题：
A The local(当地的) police(警方) were searching for(搜查) him.
B Smith is a 26-year-old single(单身的) mother with a daughter(女儿). C Smith tried very hard(努力地) to kill(杀死) Nichols.
D She even(甚至) cooked breakfast(早餐) for the man before(在...之前) he allowed(允许) her to leave(离开).
E And the two of them discussed(讨论) this topic(话题， 主题). F Then she called the police(警方).
(B Smith is a 26-year-old single(单身的) mother with a daughter(女儿)). (C Smith tried very hard(努力地) to kill(杀死) Nichols.)
The whole of the United States cheered its latest hero, Ashley Smith, with the Federal Bureau of investigation saying it was planning to give a big reward to her for having a brave heart and wise mind.
___(46)___. She was moving into her apartment(公寓) in Atlanta(亚特兰大), Georgia(乔治亚州) early on the morning of March 12,when a man followed(跟随， 理解) her to her door and put a gun to her side(旁边，侧面， 一方).“I started walking to my door, and I felt really, really afraid,”she said in a TV interview last week. The man was Brian Nichols,33. He was suspected of (被怀疑)killing(杀死) three people at an Atlanta(亚特兰大) courthouse(法院)on March 11 and later(随后， 稍后) of killing a federal agent(联邦警察). ___(47)___.
46.B. C中的Nichols在前文中没有呼应的内容(姓名的全名)， 因此判断C不正确， B是答案。
47.A.A中的him与空格前句中的he呼应， 而空格前句中的courthouse与A中的the police是主题相关词， 因此A很可能是答案。
B Smith is a 26-year-old single(单身的) mother with a daughter(女儿). C Smith tried very hard(努力地) to kill(杀死) Nichols.
D She even(甚至) cooked breakfast(早餐) for the man before(在...之前) he allowed(允许) her to leave(离开).

He asked her to repeat(重复) a paragraph(段落)“about what you thought your purpose(目的) in life(人生) was- what talents(才华) were you given(给).” ___(48)___.
48.E. 空格前句中的he, her正好于选项E中的the two of them(他们两个)呼应， 空格前句中的paragraph与E中的topic构成主题相关词。
B Smith is a 26-year-old single(单身的) mother with a daughter(女儿). C Smith tried very hard(努力地) to kill(杀死) Nichols.
D She even(甚至) cooked breakfast(早餐) for the man before(在...之前) he allowed(允许) her to leave(离开).
