　　原文与答案解析

　　News Report One

　　Two factors are critical for the successful treatment of diabetes patients. First is a correct diagnosis of the type of the disease, and second is the administration of the appropriate drugs. A misdiagnosis and, consequently, the wrong treatment can cause many problems. If you label someone who actually has type 2 diabetes as type 1, they'll be left on insulin for the rest of their life when they don't need it. Even worse, if someone with type 1 diabetes is mislabeled as having type 2 diabetes, then they may not be treated with the insulin they need, and they may suffer life-threatening complications. University of Exeter Medical School, measures 30 genetic variants in the patient's DNA and calculates the risk for type 1 or type 2. Individual diagnoses can be completed with a commonly used test for antibodies.

　　1. What are the important factors to successfully treat patients with diabetes?

　　答案：A

　　点睛解析：新闻第一句话就提到：“两个至关重要因素决定着能否成功治疗糖尿病患者。首先是正确诊断出这种疾病的类型,其次是适当的药物管理。”所以选项B“大量的药物”与文意不符；选项C“良好的饮食习惯”和选项D“医术高超的医生”在文中并没有提及。选A“这种疾病类型的正确诊断”。

　　答案：D

　　News Report Two

　　The Census Bureau also found that almost 200 languages are spoken in the city. So, knowing different languages is important, especially if you are a first responder. Lieutenant Steve Lee is president of the Fire Department's Phoenix Society. Lee says that first responders must be able to communicate quickly and effectively when an emergency happens. He explains that first responders enter neighborhoods and communities to assist people regardless of where they are from. Lee says that many of the times first responders do not speak the same language as the people they are called to help. He adds that it is vital, or very important, that first responders are able to communicate with the people calling for help. Without help from the homeowners and others, Lee adds, discovering exactly where a fire is burning can be a real problem.

　　3. What is the important of the first responder according to the news?

　　答案：B

　　点睛解析：该题答案比较明显，新闻中提到So, knowing different languages is important, especially if you are a first responder.“所以知晓不同种语言很重要，尤其是对现场急救员来说。”由此可知选B“知晓不同的语言”。

　　• Passage One

　　U.S. researchers said on Monday that obesity-related diseases account for nearly 10% of America's health care costs, estimated to be US $147 billion a year. They say obese people spent forty percent more than people of normal weight a year, about US $1,429. Thomas Frieden, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a press conference at the center for the study of obesities, "The key is that we should take effective measures to curb and reduce the huge burden of obesities on our country." Frieden said, "The reversal of obesity will not be successful by individual efforts, and only when the whole society is involved, it can be done." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention puts forward 24 suggestions on how to fight obesity in communities and schools, encouraging people to eat healthy food and exercise more. Harkin said in a statement: "If we do not take effective measures to prevent similar diseases such as obesity and chronic disease, health care costs will continue to skyrocket." American women are more concerned about losing weight than cancer, heart disease and diabetes, according to a survey. The CDCP's new obesity prevention strategy aims to address the spread of obesity in the US. Frieden said, "Carbonated drinks and sweetened drinks play a special role in the spread of obesity." He points out that Americans now consume more than 150 calories a day than twenty or thirty years ago.

　　16. What accounts for nearly ten percent of the US medical expense?

　　答案：C

　　点睛解析：短文第一句提到U.S. researchers said on Monday that obesity-related diseases account for nearly 10% of America's health care costs, estimated to be US $147 billion a year.“美国研究人员周一表示,和肥胖有关的疾病占了美国近10%的医疗开支,估计一年是1470亿美元。”由此可知，美国医疗开支的近10%用于和肥胖有关的疾病。选项A“糖尿病”、选项B“心脏病”和选项C“癌症”不符合文意。所以选C“与肥胖相关的疾病”。

　　17. What can we learn according to Frieden?

　　答案：A

　　点睛解析：选项B“肥胖症的问题根本解决不了”和D“糖尿病是这个国家的主要疾病”在文中并没有提及，所以排除；C“肥胖症还没有对国家造成巨大负担”与文意不符，所以排除；A“全社会的参与才能逆转肥胖症”与原文一致，故为答案。

　　18. What has played a role in the spread of obesity?

　　答案：B

　　点睛解析：短文结尾处提到carbonated drinks and sweetened drinks play a special role in the spread of obesity，可知“碳酸饮料和加糖饮料对肥胖症的蔓延起着特殊作用”。A“水果”、B“加糖饮料”、C“米饭”和D“啤酒”中，只有B与原文一致，所以选B。

　　• Passage Two

　　Nigeria is Africa's largest oil producer, but the decline in the price of crude oil has made Nigerian people ready to usher in this year's lower economic development than the average rate. Nigeria's economy has been linked to oil, and the country is now producing more than 2,000,000 barrels of oil a day. However, the price of crude oil has fallen below US $30 a barrel, which makes the experts worry, and in 2014, the price of oil was still more than 100 dollars a barrel. Nearly seventy percent of Nigeria's fiscal revenue comes from oil sales and oil accounts for more than 2/3 of Nigeria's exports. Energy experts say it's a tough situation for Nigeria. In 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari was elected on a promise to create employment opportunities and to curb corruption, which led to the budget increase last year of 25%. Experts say oil prices could force the government to rethink its commitments. "If the government is making a commitment while the government is wasting money on luxury goods, it will be a crisis," financial expert Bismarck Rewane said. Dolapo Oni said that the price drop would make a big change to the country's oil industry, including the reform of fuel subsidies to maintain low oil prices, and other changes, including the reform of the National Oil Co. in Nigeria. These two areas are being criticized by industry experts and civil society as a waste.

　　19. What problem is Nigeria facing?

　　答案：D

　　点睛解析：短文开头部分提到“但原油价格的下跌让尼日利亚人准备迎来今年低于平均速度的经济发展”。选项A“石油产量供不应求”和选项B“石油产量供大于求”在文中均没有提到，所以排除；选项C“原油价格大幅上涨”与原文意思相反，所以排除；D“原油价格下降”与原文意思相一致，所以选项D为正确答案。

　　20. What is the main export product of Nigeria?

　　答案：A

　　点睛解析：在短文中我们可以听到...oil accounts for more than 2/3 of Nigeria's exports.“……石油占尼日利亚出口额的三分之二以上。”也就是说，尼日利亚出口的主要产品是石油，所以选A。

　　21. What was promised by Muhammadu Buhari when he was elected president?

　　答案：B

　　点睛解析：短文提到In 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari was elected on a promise to create employment opportunities and to curb corruption“总统穆罕默德•布哈里2015年当选时承诺制造就业机会并遏制腐败”。A“提高石油出口价格”、C“改革医疗体系”和D“加大教育投资力度”均不符合文意，所以选B“制造就业机会”。

　　• Passage Three

　　Most of the roses are from Asia, but there are also roses in other parts like Africa, Europe and the United States. In 1986, the U.S. Congress chose the rose as the national flower. Strictly speaking, the Congress and President Reagan declared the rose as "a symbol of national flower". But no matter what the name was, the decision was not so delightful for supporters of other flowers. Some people say roses are difficult to grow. But if you follow the advice of some experts at the beginning, the chances of success are high. You should plant your roses where they can get sunshine as much as six hours on sunny days. You can buy roses from a garden center or by mail order. You can choose potted plants, or bare-rooted roses. Each kind has its lovers. Some gardeners say potted roses are easier to plant, and the roots develop better. But Jeffrey Dinslage, leader of Nature Hills Nursery in Omaha, Nebraska, points out that bare-rooted roses come without soil, so they weigh less to be transported. The University of Illinois Extension suggests the time to buy bare-rooted roses should be as close to planting time as you can. If you receive a bare-rooted rose before you are ready to plant, make sure the packaging material is moist and keep it in dark place. When planting roses, the soil should be watered. Watering should be carried out in the morning, which can prevent spots and mildew.

　　22. Who was the president of the United States when the rose was chosen as the national flower?

　　答案：C

　　点睛解析：短文提到：1986年，美国国会选择了玫瑰作为国花。严格意义上讲，国会和里根总统宣布玫瑰为“国家花卉象征”。由此可知，玫瑰被选为美国国花的时候，里根是总统，所以选C。

　　23. What do we know about potted roses?

　　答案：D

　　点睛解析：选项A“盆栽玫瑰的销量很好”、选项C“盆栽玫瑰的花朵比较大”在文中均没有提及，所以排除；选项B“盆栽玫瑰在运输的时候重量很轻”内容混淆，这是裸根玫瑰的特点。所以选D“盆栽玫瑰的根系长得更好”。

　　24. What do we learn about bare-rooted roses?

　　答案：A

　　点睛解析：短文中提到“购买裸根玫瑰的时间要尽可能接近你种植的时间”，由此可判断，裸根玫瑰在种植之前不能保存很长时间，所以排除B；“如果在你准备种植之前就收到裸根玫瑰，确保包装材料湿润，并保存在阴暗的地方。”由此可排除C；选项D“裸根玫瑰没有盆栽玫瑰长得好”在文中并没有提及，所以排除；选项A“裸根玫瑰根部没有土壤”与原文一致，故为答案。

　　25. What can we learn on how to plant roses?

　　答案：D

　　点睛解析：选项A“玫瑰应该在冬天种植”和选项C“浇水越多，玫瑰长得越好”在文中并没有提及，所以排除；选项B“给玫瑰浇水应该在晚上进行”与文意不符，文中说的是在上午进行，所以排除；所以选项D“玫瑰应该种植在晴天能接收大约6个小时日照的地方”与原文一致，故为答案。 超精讲，分类练，英语四级简单过
