　　解析：選C。句中提到是Alfred的兄弟的死讓人們誤以為是Alfred死了。mistake...for...誤以為……是……。

　　解析：選B。報(bào)紙上“宣布”死訊用announce，即“公開宣布”的意思。

　　3.A.famous B.sick

　　C.rich D.popular

　　解析：選C。由首句“became a millionaire”以及報(bào)紙上稱他為“the merchant ofdeath”可知，Alfred是因?yàn)榘l(fā)明炸藥(即找到了比以前更快的致人死亡的殺人方式)而致富的，因此rich符合題意。

　　4.A.upset B.anxious

　　C.excited D.pleased

　　解析：選A。Alfred看到自己死亡的報(bào)道，并且報(bào)道說Alfred是通過“kill more people faster”而致富的，這當(dāng)然令他感到“upset(沮喪)”。這里應(yīng)該用一個(gè)描寫負(fù)面情緒的形容詞，所以excited與pleased應(yīng)首先排除。

　　5.A.death B.disease

　　C.trouble D.attack

　　解析：選A。他因發(fā)明炸藥而從“死亡”與毀滅中獲益。此處death與destruction對應(yīng)，上下文中也反復(fù)提到kill，death等信息詞。

　　C.changes D.contributions

　　解析：選D。make contributions to意為“對……作出貢獻(xiàn)”;make sacrifices作出犧牲。

　　10.A.generally B.basically

　　C.usually D.certainly

　　解析：選B。該題難度較大，只有充分理解了句意才能得出答案。句意：所以“從根本上來說”，諾貝爾只有死了才意識到他生活的真正意義是什么(正是因?yàn)槿藗冋`以為他死了而表達(dá)了對他否定的看法，從而讓他意識到他應(yīng)該做點(diǎn)什么才能讓人們帶著愛和尊敬記住他)。

　　While the “@” is obviously familiar to Chinese e?mail users，theyoften use the English word “at” to pronounce it，which soundssomething like “ai ta”，or “l(fā)ovehim”，to Mandarin(普通話)speakers.

　　If you are a male and you are reading this，congratulations:you are a survivor.According to statistics，you are morethan twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman，andnine times more likely to die of AIDS.Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term，about78 years for men in Australia，you will die on average five years before a woman.

　　There are many reasons for this-typically，mentake more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhapsmore importantly，men don’toften go to the doctor.

　　Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50?year?old man whohad delayed doing anything about his smoker’scough for a year.

　　“When I finallysaw him，ithad already spread and he has since died from lung cancer，”he says.“Earlierdetection and treatment may not have cured him，but it wouldhave prolonged his life.”

　　“A lot of menthink they are invincible (不可戰(zhàn)勝的)，”Gullottasays. “They only comein when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think，‘Geez，if it could happen to him，__________.’”

　　Then there is the ostrich approach，“some men are scared of what might be there and wouldrather not know，”says Dr.Ross Cartmill.

　　“Most men gettheir cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies，” Cartmill says.He believes most diseases thatcommonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check?ups.

　　Regular check?ups for men would unavoidably placestrain on the public purse，Cartmill says.“Butprevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases.Besides，thefinal cost is far greater: it is called premature death.”

　　D.Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases.

　　解析：選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知最主要的原因是男性不太喜歡看醫(yī)生。由此可知，B項(xiàng)符合題意。

　　28.Which of the following best completes the sentence“Geez，if it could happen to him，________”?

　　A.it could happen to me，too.

　　B.I should avoid playing golf.

　　C.I should consider myself lucky.

　　D.it would be a big misfortune.

　　解析：選A。邏輯推理題。結(jié)合上下文內(nèi)容可知這時(shí)他們便會想：既然這種事情能夠發(fā)生在他身上，那就也有可能發(fā)生在我身上?？梢夾項(xiàng)最合理。

　　29.What does the underlined phrase “ ostrich approach”mean?

　　C.Refusal to get medical treatment for fear of thepain involved.

　　30.What does Cartmill say about regular check?ups formen?

　　B.They will save money in the long run.

　　C.They may cause psychological strains on men.
