26、eed oil and 93 per cent beef fat. The mixture gave the fries their【C20】_flavour.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.scaledB.strippedC.peeled D.sliced解析：解析：由下文的 cut into和 fried 可知此处表示土豆加工的过程，“切细条”前的步骤应为 C 项 peel“削(皮)”，故本题选 C。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.As B.IfC.AlthoughD.Unless解析：解析：空格后主、谓语完整，而且四个选项均为状语从句的引导词。可知空格所在
27、部分为状语从句，A 项 As“随着”代入此空，意为。随着麦当劳连锁店在全国范围内的发展，20 世纪 60 年代中期麦当劳设法口味相同”，句意通顺，故 A 为本题答案。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.diminishB.cut C.decreaseD.lessen解析：解析：cut cost 为习惯搭配，表示“削减开支”。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.ensueB.ensure C.enrichD.enable解析：解析：ensure“确保”能接 that 引导的宾语从句，表示“确保某事能发生”，代入此空，意为“并确保其每个分店的炸薯条口味相同”，句意通顺，语义逻辑合理，故 B 为
28、本题答案。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.switching B.divertingC.referringD.running解析：解析：文章首句说麦当劳的薯条一开始是每天现做的，而此处提到了冷冻薯条，后半句还说极少有顾客注意到这其中的差别，由此可知该句是说麦当劳的薯条由“临时现做”转换成“冷冻薯条”的形式，switch 表示在不同事物之间转变、转移或切换，后跟介词 to 接转换所至的对象，符合这里的语境，故本题选 A。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.StillB.AnywayC.BesidesD.Nevertheless 解析：解析：连接性副词 Nevertheless 表示“然而
29、，不过”，一般用于和前文进行对比，用于正式语体，符合上下文语境。Still“还，仍”；Anyway“无论如何”；Besides“除之外”。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.ofB.toC.on D.in解析：解析：名词 effect 与介词 on 是固定搭配。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.brandB.stuffC.commodity D.produce解析：解析：空格处为该句宾语的中心词，由 a highly processed industrial(一种加工过的工业的)修饰，从意思上看，A 项 brand“品牌、商标”可以排除；由于有冠词 a，可知填入的词应是可数名词的单数形式
30、。因此 B 项 stuff“原料”和 D 项 produce“农产品”这两个不可数名词也可排除。C 项commodity 意为“商品”，是可数名词单数形式，符合此处要求，故选 C。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.assemblingB.manufacturing C.packingD.recycling解析：解析：空格处所填的词修饰 plants“工厂”，根据其后的定语从句内容可以知此处的 plants 指加工制造食材这一类的厂，manufacture 意为“制造，生产，加工”，manufacturing plants 表示“生产厂商，加工厂”，符合文意，故 B 为本题答案。(10).【
31、C10】（分数：2.00）A.prosperityB.growthC.productivityD.popularity 解析：解析：由前一句提到的“如今麦当劳的薯条均来自土豆日产量高达 200 万磅的大型厂商”可知麦当劳对土豆有这么大的需求即表示它的炸薯条很受欢迎、很好卖，D 项 popularity“流行，普及，受欢迎”代入文中，意为“随着麦当劳业务的日益扩展及其低成本、批量生产的炸薯条的日益普及，美国人的饮食习惯因此而改变”，麦当劳的薯条越来越受青睐，即表示越来越多的人更频繁地吃薯条，这意味着美国人饮食习惯发生了改变。D 项代入后，与上下文语义相符，故为本题答案。(11).【C11】（分数
32、：2.00）A.taste B.productionC.processingD.price解析：解析：本段主要谈到“麦当劳的薯条之所以与众不同就是因为它的口味独特”。此外，结合下文的Their distinctive taste 以及 The taste of a French fry，可知接下来主要讲麦当劳薯条的口味此空选 A 项 taste“口味”。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.criticalB.credibleC.comparableD.crucial 解析：解析：下文提到的“薯条的利润高”，且这一段就是专门讲麦当劳薯条的独特风味，由此可推测它对麦当劳的成功发展起重要的作用
33、，D 项 crucial“至关重要的，关键性的”代入此空，符合上下文语义为本题答案。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.praised B.discussedC.criticizedD.pursued解析：解析：上一段提到麦当劳扩展、它的炸薯条受欢迎，本段重点讲其薯条的口味，段首提到“麦当劳炸薯条的对于麦当劳的成功起着作用；炸薯条的利润远高于汉堡包”，由此不难推断其薯条口味是很好的，因此会长期以来深受顾客、竞争对手甚至是食品评论家的称赞，故选 A 项 praise“赞扬，称赞”。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.result inB.refer toC.focus onD.ste
34、m from 解析：解析：空格后面列的几项(土豆品种、加工技术、烹制设备)都属于可能影响薯条成品风味的因素，再结合后面的 The taste of a French fry isdetermined by“炸薯条的口味取决于”。可知此处是在探讨麦当劳薯条的口味的决定因素，即导致它有这种独特口味的原因，D 项 stem from“由造成：出于”符合文意。(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.possessesB.buys C.acquiresD.grows解析：解析：从上下文可以看出麦当劳本身不产土豆，它从供应商手中购得土豆，因而应选 B 项 buy。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A
35、.suppliersB.plantsC.chains D.critics解析：解析：空格处填的内容属于这句话的主语，根据后面几个并列谓语 use Russet Burbank“采用褐色布尔班克土豆”，buy their French fries“购买薯条”和 havefryers“使用油炸炊具”可判断。会有这些行为的应该是跟麦当劳性质相似的快餐店，因此选 C 项 chains“连锁店”。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.specialB.automaticC.similar D.expensive解析：解析：本句是在探讨麦当劳薯条之所以具有独特口味的成因，冒号后是对前述内容的解释，前面
36、否定了“土豆品种、加工技术、烹制设备”这三项可能的因素，冒号后的三个谓语即分别给出对应的解释，麦当劳薯条的口味之所以独特不在于上述三方面有何特别之处，因为其他店也跟它一样或差不多，故选 C项 similar“类似的，相似的”。第二个谓语部分中的 from the same large processing companies 也提示了此空应选与 same 差不多含义的词。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.adequatelyB.massivelyC.plentifullyD.largely 解析：解析：此处意为“炸土豆条的昧道一一由使用的油而定”，D 项 largely“主要地”符合句
37、意。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.varietyB.mixture C.preparationD.coordination解析：解析：根据 of 后面的 7 per cent cottonseed oil and 93 per cent beef fat 可知这里是说麦当劳用于炸薯条的油是由两种油调配混合成的，因此选 B 项 mixture“混合物，混合料”；此外最后一句也提示了本空应选 mixture。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.unique B.mysteriousC.rareD.perfect解析：解析：综合上文所述，可知麦当劳薯条的口味是独特的。再结合本段第
38、2 句的 Their distinctive taste“其与众不同的独特的口味”，不难选出 A 项 unique“独一无二的，独特的”。Sea rise as a result of global warming would immediately threaten that large fraction of the globe living at sea level. Nearly one-third of all human beings live within 36 miles of a coastline. Most of the worlds great seaport citi

44、be destructive to natural systems and living things and【C20】_to man as well.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.ascendedB.assaultedC.erasedD.endangered 解析：解析：由上文的 Sea rise(海平面上升)可推断“将会危及港口城市”，endanger 意为“危及”，符合句意，故选 D。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.whichB.where C.whenD.what解析：解析：空格所在处为定语从句的引导词在该定语从句中，主谓宾成分都完整，因此引导词在从句
45、中作状语，先行词 areas 表地点，where 符合要求。故选 B。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.dislocation B.discontentC.distributionD.distinction解析：解析：人口密集的沿海地区，且人口都位于低洼地区，海平面上升，当地人口必须进行迁移，从而造成混乱，故选 A 项 dislocation“混乱”。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.resulting fromB.leading byC.resulting in D.leading with解析：解析：Warmer oceans(海洋变暖)是会导致 coastal flooding“
46、沿海地区爆发洪灾”，C 项resulting in“导致”符合语义要求。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.IncreasedB.Reduced C.ExpandedD.Saddened解析：解析：由下文的“会使得盐水混入沿海灌溉用水和饮用水供应中”可以推断出，水质会下降，故选B 项 Reduced“下降的”。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.inlandB.suburbanC.urbanD.coastal 解析：解析：由下文的 forces salt water into coastal irrigation“使得盐水混入沿海灌溉用水中”，当然只有沿海地带发洪水才有盐水。故选 D 项
47、coastal“沿海的”。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.farmlandB.mountainC.wetlands D.forest解析：解析：此题比较适合用逐项代入排除法。C 项 wetlands“湿地”，尤指湿地野生动植物保护区，代入文中意为“不可替代的自然湿地将被海水淹没”，符合语境。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.unique B.universalC.interestingD.exciting解析：解析：由上文的 irreplaceable“不可替代的”和 natural“自然的，天然的”等词，可看出这些物种的宝贵价值，unique“独特的”能体现这种价值，故本题选 A。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.geologicallyB.adversely C.secretivelyD.serially解析：解析：从上一段 forces salt water into coastal irrigation“使得盐水混入沿海灌溉”可推断粮食供给等会受到负面影响。因此选 B 项 adversely“不利地”。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.shift B.generateC.greaseD.fuse解
