31. What was the source material of Grandma Moses' paintings?

　　C)。 [聽(tīng)前猜測(cè)] 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是名詞，可以推測(cè)，本題考查的內(nèi)容可能是某項(xiàng)活動(dòng)涉及的范圍。

　　[精解] 主人公用照片記錄信息(made use of photographs for information)，尤其在她的晚年(her later years)，她用照片作為素材(source material)。故正確答案為C)。

　　Passage Three

　　(32) Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh. The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21. Hundreds more are missing or feared dead.

　　The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhakfi as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian countries.

　　(35)The government has since banned all ferries and other boats from traveling at night during the April-May storm season.

　　One of the ferries, MV Mitali, was carrying far more people than it was supposed to. About 400 passengers fitted a space made for just 300, police said. The second ferry carried about 100 passengers.

　　An official in charge of the rescue work said the number of deaths is certain to rise. No one really knows how many people were on board and how many of them survived.

　　Ferries in Bangladesh don't always keep passenger lists, making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board.

　　Besides the ferry accidents, at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes, falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats.

　　Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh, as are boating accidents. (34)Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people.

　　(33)Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions.

　　預(yù)覽四道題的選項(xiàng)，從death，bad weather等詞綜合分析，可推測(cè)出本文內(nèi)容可能是關(guān)于某場(chǎng)災(zāi)難的描述。

　　32. How many people were found killed in the accidents?

　　A)。 [聽(tīng)前猜測(cè)] 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中三個(gè)為數(shù)字描述，另一個(gè)出現(xiàn)deaths，可以推測(cè)本題考查的內(nèi)容可能跟死亡人數(shù)有關(guān)。

　　[精解] 超過(guò)130具尸體(bodies of over 130 people)被發(fā)現(xiàn)，此數(shù)字即為死亡人數(shù)。故正確答案為A)。

　　33. Which is the reason for all these river accidents?

　　A)。 [聽(tīng)前猜測(cè)] 根據(jù)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容可以推測(cè)，本題考查內(nèi)容可能涉及事故的原因。

　　[精解] 官方認(rèn)為，這些事故的起因是缺乏安全標(biāo)準(zhǔn)(a lack of safety measures)、船只超載(too many passengers in boats)以及沒(méi)有注意天氣情況(weather conditions)。三種情況綜合起來(lái)，導(dǎo)致了這些惡果。故正確答案只有A)。B)、C)與文意相反，D)不是一般情況，與船出事故無(wú)關(guān)。

　　34. Which disaster causes large casualties in Bangladesh every year?

　　B)。 [聽(tīng)前猜測(cè)] 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是關(guān)于災(zāi)難的詞，由此可以推測(cè)，本題考查的內(nèi)容可能是關(guān)于某種災(zāi)難的。

　　[精解] 每年渡船事故(ferry disasters)都會(huì)帶走這個(gè)有1. 3億人口的國(guó)家(a nation of 130 million people)成百上千人的生命(hundreds of lives)。故正確答案為B)。

　　35. What has the government done during the storm season in Bangladesh?

　　B)。 [聽(tīng)前猜測(cè)] 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是講政府對(duì)渡船的政策，由此可以推測(cè)，本題考查的內(nèi)容可能是關(guān)于政府的管制措施的。

　　[精解] 四月到五月風(fēng)暴季節(jié)中(the April-May storm season)政府取締了所有的渡輪(all ferries)，并且禁止其他船只在夜間航行(other boats from traveling at night)。其他選項(xiàng)均不正確。故正確答案為B)。

　　Section C

　　36. traditional

　　[聽(tīng)前猜測(cè)] 在不定冠詞和名詞之間，此處應(yīng)該填入一個(gè)形容詞。

　　37. occur

　　[聽(tīng)前猜測(cè)] 情態(tài)動(dòng)詞后面應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞原形。

　　38. planned

　　[聽(tīng)前猜測(cè)] 系動(dòng)詞后應(yīng)為動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)形式。
