　　C．to have broken

　　D．to break

　　解析：句意：人們看到劉翔就歡呼起來，曾報道他打破了110米跨欄世界紀錄。根據句意：report后接不定式A、B排除，打破紀錄是發生過的事情，所以用不定式的完成式來表達。

　　A．training

　　C．to have trained

　　D．to be trained

　　問題二：推理判斷題常見問題

　　問題描述與分析

　　推理判斷是指在理解原文字面意義的基礎上，通過對語篇邏輯關系的分析和細節的暗示，作出一定的判斷和推理，從而得出文章的深層意義及隱含意義的過程。學生在此類問題上失分較多，主要是無法準確找到答案的位置點，很難進行正確推理。

　　典例精析：

　　【例1】 (2009?全國Ⅰ卷C篇)We have met the enemy, and he is ours.We bought him at a pet shop.When monkey-pox，a disease.usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染)we think of as human infections started in other animals”， says Stephen Morse，director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.

　　It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them, ”says Isaksen.

　　“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing，”says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug(病毒)may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful(有害的). Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.

　　(D)1.We learn from Paragraph l that the pet sold at the shop may ________

　　A．come from Columbia

　　B．prevent us from being infected

　　C．enjoy being with children

　　D．suffer from monkey-pox

　　(A)2.The text suggests that in the future we ________.

　　A．may have to fight against more new diseases

　　B．may easily get infected by diseases from dogs

　　C．should not be allowed to have pets

　　D．should stop buying pets from Africa

　　【答案解析】

　　1．選擇D。推理判斷題。根據第一段的第一、二句話可知，我們從寵物商店購買的動物身上攜帶疾病，能傳播給人類。下面以猴痘為例說明作者的觀點。

　　2．選擇A。推理判斷題。根據最后一段的最后兩句A new bug may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful. Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease.But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person可知，人類今后可能面臨更多疾病的挑戰。

　　【例2】 (2009?山東卷A篇)A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$7,000，a legacy (遺產) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially.”says Dave.

　　But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches’ Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches.generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others，it was more than $100,000.

　　It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.

　　Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on (喜歡) comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.

　　Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.
