     D．injuring；trapped解析：句意：不幸的是，由于这个煤矿的瓦斯爆炸，至少20名矿工丧生，22名矿工受伤，13名矿工被困井下。由于22和injure之间为被动关系，13和trap之间也是被动关系，故都用过去分词。答案：B2．Joining the firm as a clerk，he got rapid promotion，and ________ as a

island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place.Now it is an ecological disaster area.Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence－other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years，Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru，far from western civilization.The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798.He was the British captain of the Hunter，a whaling ship.He called the island Pleasant Island.However，because it was very remote，Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first.Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit，bringing guns and alcohol.These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.A ten­year civil war started，which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐) on the island.In fact，it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate，which is a very important fertilizer for farming.The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground；it is a strip mine.When a company strip­mines，it removes the top layer of soil.Then it takes away the material it wants.Strip­mining totally destroys the land.Gradually，the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968，Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately，the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition，they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem－their phosphate was running out.Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.By 2000，Nauru was almost financially ruined.Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island.This will probably never happen.16．What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?A．To seek help for Nauru's problems.B．To give a warning to other countries.C．To show the importance of money.D．To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.解析：作者意图题。根据第一段第三句“Nauru's heartbreaking story...other countries might learn from the mistakes.”可以判断作者的写作意图：告诫其它国家，勿重蹈覆辙。答案：B17．What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A．Rich and powerful.B．Modern and open.C．Peaceful and attractive.D．Greedy and aggressive.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的叙述可知在欧洲人到来之前瑙鲁地处偏僻，远离西方文明。因此可以根据这一信息用排除法逐一排除A、B、D三项中的错误信息，最后确定正确答案为peaceful and attractive。答案：C18．The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from ________.A．soil pollution         B．phosphate overminingC．farming activity         D．whale hunting解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段和第五段的内容可知：磷酸盐的过度开发导致了该国的生态灾难。答案：B19．Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem?A．Its leaders misused the money.B．It spent too much repairing the island.C．Its phosphate mining cost much money.D．It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Unfortunately，the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.”可以确定A项为正确答案。答案：A20．What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A．The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B．The leaders will take the experts' words seriously.C．The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D．The phosphate mines were destroyed.解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句内容“Experts say that it would take...This will probably never happen.”可以断定生态灾难难以修复。D项内容不符合该段内容，应以百分之九十的岛屿遭到破坏。答案：AB(2012深圳市高三调研)Several hundred strangers received “love letters” from a young man on the street.The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang，a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology，who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.Yang's story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country's wealthiest cities.They have diplomas，rather than professional skills，and come to big cities in hopes of better lives，only to find low­paying jobs and poor living conditions.They are China's “ant tribe(蚁族)”，a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book.Ant Tribe.“They're so similar to ants.They share small and narrow living areas.They're intelligent and hard­working，yet nameless and underpaid.”The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle－only the strongest survive.A survey in Lian's another book published this year，Ant Tribe Ⅱ，found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities－almost three times last year's percentage.Most had degrees in popular majors.In addition,7.2 percent of “ants” have at least a master's degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.An “ant's” average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan，with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.“Most ants are from rural families or small towns，and their experiences in universities didn't arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities' employment markets，” Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.The “ant tribe's” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem，and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities，Zhang believed.However，“ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities，which keeps them positive despite their situations.【语篇解读】　大学生就业艰难是无可争辩的事实，他们被称为“蚁族”，在大都市中默默地奋斗着，挣扎着，憧憬着……21．Yang's story is introduced in order to ________.A．analyze graduates' difficulties in finding jobsB．lead to the topic of the article－“ant tribe”C．tell readers a story about those big citiesD．show a clever way of dealing with pressure解析：文章结构题。文章用这个年轻人的故事反映出了就业的艰难，从而为下文导入“蚁族”这个中心话题作铺垫。答案：B22．The “ants” fail to find high­paying jobs mainly because ________.A．they have no diplomas from good universitiesB．their majors do not meet the needs of societyC．those from rural areas are not treated equallyD．they do not have necessary professional skills解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的内容可知他们拥有文凭，但是没有专业技能，因而难以找到高报酬的工作。答案：D23．“Ant tribe” members are similar to ants in the following aspects EXCEPT that ________.A．they live in narrow and small places in groupsB．they work hard but earn little for survivalC．they are in a world judged by the jungle lawD．they are pleased with being nameless and underpaid解析：细节理解题。第三段中提到他们像蚂蚁一样住在狭窄的地方，聪明而勤奋，然而却不被人知而且薪水很低，但并不是说他们喜欢不被人知和低工资，故D项内容错误。答案：D24．Professor Zhang thought “ants” problems could be solved by ________.A．creating more jobs for graduates in big citiesB．developing smaller cities to attract graduatesC．sending graduates to rural areas and small townsD．training graduates to improve their ability解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的内容可知张教授认为解决问题的方法是发展比较小的城市来吸引毕业生。答案：B25．By writing this article，the author mainly intends to show ________.A．despite better education，“ants” are still strugglingB．despite difficulties，“ants” have a promising futureC．better education，better job opportunitiesD．Ant Tribe is a good book to help understand today's China解析：写作意图题。作者写作本文意在告诉我们虽然“蚁族”中有相当一部分人拥有高学历，但是他们仍然在为生存苦苦挣扎。答案：A
