31、additional“额外的”符合语义要求。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.vaporB.fireC.legacy D.cloud解析：解析：空格处名词为动词 left 的宾语，说明室内的吸烟者们(indoor smokers)会在吸完烟后留在室内的物质，且该物质还能持续数年。C 项 legacy“遗产，遗留物”代入后与空格前的 toxic 搭配能表示“有害的遗留物”。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.developsB.mixes C.coversD.explodes解析：解析：上一句提到三手烟会与其他物质结合(combines with some substances)。空格后的

32、 dust 属于其中一种，故 B 项 mixes“混合”正确，对应上句中的 combines 一词。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.rollsB.circlesC.dropsD.drifts 解析：解析：根据空格后 down to carpeting(落到地毯上)，可推测此处是三手烟的运动方式和过程。一般来说，烟(雾)是飘散在空中，D 项 drifts“漂移”满足逻辑要求。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.surfaces B.structuresC.ornamentsD.textiles解析：解析：空格处的名词与 carpeting 一起作此分句中的宾语，表明 Thirdhand

33、smoke 运动到的地方。对于家具(furniture)而言，它一般是附着在其表面，选 A 项 surfaces。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.residesB.trapsC.lingers D.sticks解析：解析：破折号后的句子说明：一个在室外吸烟的妈妈进门抱孩子时仍会将孩子暴露于三手烟中，由此可判断香烟中的有害物质会留在吸烟者的身上头发、皮肤、衣服和指甲中。C 项 lingers“萦绕，徘徊，逗留”能满足语义要求。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.sinceB.thoughC.so D.provided解析：解析：破折号前的句子承接上文说明三手烟会出现在吸烟者的身上，空格后

34、句子说明在外面吸烟的妈妈回到家里抱孩子其实是将孩子暴露于三手烟中。前后句子间存在一定的因果关系。故 C 项 so 符合要求。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.far fromB.but forC.with respect toD.in front of 解析：解析：从空格后的 smokes outside(在外面吸烟)便可知道妈妈没有在孩子面前吸烟。D 项 in front of 与 doesn“t 搭配，表明没有在孩子面前吸烟。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.convenientB.difficult C.expensiveD.awful解析：解析：逗号后分句 have a lon

35、g life of their own 说明新的化合物“能存在很长时间”，由此可判断这种化合物清除起来很难。故 B 项 difficult 正确。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.with B.behindC.onD.against解析：解析：此句中 contamination(污染物)指的是上文提到的新化合物(new compounds)。上句提到新的化合物会存在很长时间，因此可推断它是会随着时间的推移而变得越来越有毒(becomes more toxic)。A 项 with 搭配 time 可满足语境要求。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.estimateB.support

36、C.evidence D.expression解析：解析：上句谈到没有人知道三手烟和环境污染物产生的化合物会存在多久。可以推断空格所在句想表达的是“二十年都没有吸烟者居住过的房子里，仍然能找到这种化合物”。C 项 evidence“证据，凭证”搭配 of these compounds 指“化合物存在的证据”。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.immuneB.resistantC.ignorantD.vulnerable 解析：解析：下一句提到婴儿和孩子的行为(在地毯上睡觉、咬家具等)，可知他们很容易接触到有三手烟毒素的地方。因而也会容易受到毒害。D 项 vulnerable 搭配介词

37、 to 意为“易受的伤害”，可说明幼儿最容易受到三手烟毒素的影响。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.jumpB.walkC.crawl D.run解析：解析：句中的主语 They 指代的是 babies and children，而 fall asleep on carpets，andteethe on furniture 涉及的是婴幼儿的行为习惯。C 项 crawl“爬行”是婴儿活动的典型动作，且在毯子上爬行会最近距离接触三手烟遗留下来的有害物质。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.saturated B.stainedC.coveredD.steeped解析：解析：空格前的

38、which 指代前一分句中的 rugs、carpets 和 furniture。第二段曾提到三手烟会藏身于地毯家具间。A 项 saturated 有“使充满”的意思，代入后可说明这些东西(which 所指)都可能充满三手烟。(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.identified withB.negligible forC.targeted atD.responsible for 解析：解析：该段首句表明研究者不只是担心三手烟会带来得癌症的风险，可判断研究者认为三手烟或许还会带来其他的健康问题。D 项 responsible for“对负责”，表明三手烟还应对其他健康问题负责。(16).

39、【C16】（分数：2.00）A.currentlyB.formerly C.largelyD.directly解析：解析：根据上文提到的妈妈吸烟后抱孩子的例子和三手烟能在室内残留很久的事实，可以判断如果从前的主人吸烟，房子或公寓就会残留有三手烟。B 项 formerly“以前地，原来地”符合句子和文章的逻辑要求。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.abolishB.eliminate C.deleteD.exclude解析：解析：下一句表明清除三手烟几乎是不可能的，那么三手烟应该是难以消除的。因此 B 项eliminate“清除，去除”正确。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.un

40、less B.whileC.ifD.once解析：解析：三手烟存在于各种地方，可见只有打掉地板和墙(remove the flooring and wall)，才能清除三手烟。A 项 unless“除非”满足语义和逻辑要求。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.exteriorB.descriptionC.essenceD.extent 解析：解析：介词 on 则表明工作所涉及的领域。the problem 指的是三手烟的危害，D 项 extent“范围，程度”代入后指问题的程度。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.rent B.decorateC.consumeD.retrieve

41、解析：解析：上文多处提到三手烟会残留在室内并且难以清除，考虑到三手烟对孩子的危害，应判断专家建议父母不要住进吸烟者用过的酒店或使用他们用过的汽车。A 项 rent“租用”符合句意。Despite helping to record events, photos could damage our memories. Researchers found people who take pictures have【C1】_remembering what actually happened. This phenomenon has been named “photo-taking impairmen

42、t effect“. From children“s birthdays to that long-awaited family holiday, we all want to remember those【C2】_moments with a photograph.【C3】_if you“re one of those people who can“t stop【C4】_beware thenyou could【C5】_forgetting it all in a flash.
