　　本次选词填空是一篇关于日常生活化学污染的文章。文章内容虽然略带科普性，但实际上与大家的日常生活息息相关，如果用生活常识和中文的背景知识来答题也能帮助不少。同时，从词汇考查角度看，仍然与往年相同，副词考查最少，名词和动词重点考查，所以与沪江英语教研君在平时向大家提倡的一样，建议对选项和目标词进行词性的标注和预判，进而再根据语法规则及上下文逻辑确定最终答案。另外，本次考题再次证明了难词往往不是答案，例如D. demonstrated，G. habitually都并未出现在答案中。

　　47. I

　　48. D

　　49. O

　　50. K

　　51. B

　　52. E

　　53. C

　　大熊猫

　　大熊猫是一种温顺的动物，长着独特的黑白皮毛。因其数量极少，大熊猫已被列为濒危物种。大熊猫对于世界自然基金会有着特殊意义。自1961年该基金会成立以来，大熊猫就一直是它的徽标。大熊猫是熊科中最稀有的成员，主要生活在中国西南部的森林里。目前，世界上大约有1000只大熊猫。这些以竹为食的动物正面临许多威胁。因此，确保大熊猫的生存比以往更重要。

　　The giant panda is a docile animal with unique black and white fur.Because of their small number, giant pandas have been listed as an endangered species. The giant pandas are of special significance for WWF (World Wildlife Fund). Since the establishment in 1961, the fund has been using the giant panda as its logo. The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family. They mainly live in the forests of southwestern China. Currently, there are about 1,000 giant pandas in the world.

　　互联网

　　中国的互联网社区是全世界发展最快的，2010年，中国约有4.2亿网民，而且人数还在迅速增长。互联网的日渐流行带来了重大的社会变化。中国网民往往不同于美国网民。美国网民更多的是受实际需要的驱使，用互联网为工具发电子邮件、买卖商品、做研究、规划旅程或付款。中国网民更多是出于社交原因使用互联网，因而更广泛的使用论坛、博客、聊天室等等。

　　The Chinese Internet Community experienced the fastest development. By 2010, there had been 420 million netizens in China and this number is still rising rapidly. The popularization of Internet has brought about huge changes. Generally speaking, American netizens are more often than not driven by real necessities such as sending emails, on-line trading, doing research, travel planning and on-line payment. While, Chinese netizens use Internet out of the need for social communication. Therefore, they log more generally onto web forums, blogs and chatting rooms.
