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(錯(cuò)覺(jué))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
介詞辨析。通過(guò)對(duì)前句的分析理解,知道人性的本質(zhì)-只有在遭受了痛苦之后才會(huì)重視痛苦,于是后句緊跟的連詞應(yīng)該是表示解釋說(shuō)明,而to為至于,on為在……上面,for為因果連詞,只有by可以表示通過(guò)。
A 63. A) fresh B) obvious C) apparent D) evident
詞義辨析。考生初看本題以為考察的是obvious, apparent, evident的詞義辨析,三個(gè)詞都表示明顯的意思,但是根據(jù)文章的意思,此處應(yīng)該是表示記憶猶新的意思,因此只有一個(gè)fresh表示的是新鮮。
C 64. A) visual B) vivid C) live D) lively
詞義辨析。本題考察更多的是常識(shí)性的問(wèn)題。Live這個(gè)單詞除了有生活的意思之外,還有現(xiàn)場(chǎng)直播的意思。而剩余的混淆項(xiàng)完全是在誤導(dǎo)學(xué)生,visual為視覺(jué)的,vivid為生動(dòng)活潑的,lively為活潑的意思。
D 65. A) little B) less C) more D) much
詞義辨析。在比較級(jí)前面添加副詞,只能用副詞原級(jí),不能再用比較級(jí)。B和C顯然錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)文章的感情色彩,文章表示的是貶義,在嘲笑人們喜歡做馬后炮的事情,因此用much不用little.
A 66. A) reluctance B) rejection C) denial D) decline
詞義辨析。Reluctance不情愿,rejection拒絕 denial否定 decline 拒絕。本題一看也仿佛是辨析BCD三個(gè)表示否定的詞義。但是通過(guò)分析這個(gè)復(fù)雜句我們看到了前面的一個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞willful blindness. 這個(gè)詞組近年來(lái)在歐美屬于流行詞匯,頻繁的出現(xiàn)在各大媒體中。他的英文解釋是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.中文解釋簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)就是"裝傻".而復(fù)雜句可以翻譯成,因?yàn)槿藗兌荚谘b傻事情變得更糟糕,除非真的死到臨頭了,否則人們都會(huì)盡最大可能不合作。而這里用reluctance,正好和前面的willful成反義詞對(duì)應(yīng)。
