    Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them. __62__ that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still __63__ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on __64__ TV. Anyone who didn‘t know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made __65__ worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our __66__ to work together before everything goes to hell.

    Granted, some amount of delusion(错觉)is probably part of the __67__ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately went to work __68__, in the same spot-until they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a __69__ of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at __70__ themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we __71__ did about the dangers we face. But it turns __72__ that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is __73__ the storm, the quake or the __74__ itself. More often it is ourselves.

    So what has happened in the year that __75__ the disaster on the Gulf Coast?In New Orleans,the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the flood walls.They have got the walls to __76__ they were before Katrina,more or less.That‘s not __77__,we can now say with confidence.But it may be all __78__ can be expected from one year of hustle(忙碌)。

    Meanwhile,New Orleans offcials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to __79__ the sick and the disabled.The city estimates that 15,000 people will need a __80__ out.However,state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken.The __81__ with neighboring communities are on going and difficult.

    答案:

    B 62. A) To B) By C) On D) For

    介词辨析。通过对前句的分析理解,知道人性的本质-只有在遭受了痛苦之后才会重视痛苦,于是后句紧跟的连词应该是表示解释说明,而to为至于,on为在……上面,for为因果连词,只有by可以表示通过。

    A 63. A) fresh B) obvious C) apparent D) evident

    词义辨析。考生初看本题以为考察的是obvious, apparent, evident的词义辨析,三个词都表示明显的意思,但是根据文章的意思,此处应该是表示记忆犹新的意思,因此只有一个fresh表示的是新鲜。

    C 64. A) visual B) vivid C) live D) lively

    词义辨析。本题考察更多的是常识性的问题。Live这个单词除了有生活的意思之外,还有现场直播的意思。而剩余的混淆项完全是在误导学生,visual为视觉的,vivid为生动活泼的,lively为活泼的意思。

    D 65. A) little B) less C) more D) much

    词义辨析。在比较级前面添加副词,只能用副词原级,不能再用比较级。B和C显然错误。根据文章的感情色彩,文章表示的是贬义,在嘲笑人们喜欢做马后炮的事情,因此用much不用little.

    A 66. A) reluctance B) rejection C) denial D) decline

    词义辨析。Reluctance不情愿,rejection拒绝 denial否定 decline 拒绝。本题一看也仿佛是辨析BCD三个表示否定的词义。但是通过分析这个复杂句我们看到了前面的一个关键词willful blindness. 这个词组近年来在欧美属于流行词汇,频繁的出现在各大媒体中。他的英文解释是Willful blindness is a term used in law to describe a situation in which an individual seeks to avoid civil or criminal liability for a wrongful act by intentionally putting himself in a position where he will be unaware of facts.中文解释简单来说就是"装傻".而复杂句可以翻译成,因为人们都在装傻事情变得更糟糕,除非真的死到临头了,否则人们都会尽最大可能不合作。而这里用reluctance,正好和前面的willful成反义词对应。
