You must choose the one which you think fits best. Then blacken the corresponding letter as required on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. The time for this section is 75 minutes.

Phyllis Wheatley is regarded as America's first black poet. She was born in Senegal, Africa, about 1753 and brought to America aboard a slave ship at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave auction in Boston in 1761 to be a personal servant of Mrs. Wheatley. The family had three other slaves, and all were treated with respect. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley's twin 15-year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston. Mary wanted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis's education. Phyllis soon displayed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually. Mrs. Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian.

At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation after she wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common practice in Boston to have "Mrs. Wheatley's Phyllis" read poetry in polite society. Mary married in 1771, and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health, as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer's three children. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis's poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren't interested.

Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London. It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors died in 1777, and Mary died in 1778, Phyllis was freed as a slave. She married in 1778, moved away from Boston, and had three children. But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty at the age of thirty.

About fifty years ago, plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks. The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple. They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins. However, they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activities by roots require energy, of course: The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also requires oxygen. Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen.

The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants. The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins, and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals. In addition, roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds. This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning. Once leaves begin photosynthesizing, they produce protein, but only mature leaves can "export" protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids.

Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply. For example, the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound; an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1% of this cost. Since the early twentieth century, success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances.

Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized; these include vanillin, the aromatic ingredient in vanilla, and benzaldehyde, the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries. Other fragrances, however, have dozens, even hundreds of components. Only recently has it been possible to separate and identit3, these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy. Once the chemical identity is known, it is often possible to synthesize them. Nevertheless, some complex substances, such as the aroma of fresh coffee, have still not been duplicated satisfactorily.

Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature, and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances. New products must be tested for safety, and when used in food,

must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products, from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied "new car odor."

71. From the passage we can learn that ______

A. natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dear

B. the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clear

C. the supply of natural flavorings and fragrances is adequate to meet the demand

D. the cost of producing natural flavorings and fragrances is high

Some people associate migration mainly with birds. Birds do travel vast distances, but mammals also migrate. An example is the caribou, reindeer that graze on the grassy slopes of northern Canada. When the weather turns cold, they travel south until spring. Their tracks are so well-worn that they are clearly visible from the air. Another migrating mammal is the Alaska fur seal. These seals breed only in the Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea. The young are born in June and by September are strong enough to go with their mothers on a journey of over 3,000 miles. Together they swim down the Pacific Coast of North America. The females and young travel as far as southern California. The males do not journey so far. They swim only to the Gulf of Alaska. In the spring, males and females all return to the islands, and there the cycle begins again. Whales are among the greatest migrators of all. The humpback and blue whales migrate thousands of miles each year from the polar seas to the tropics. Whales eat huge quantities of plankton. These are most abundant in cold polar waters. In winter, the whales move to warm waters to breed and give birth to their young.

81. From the passage we can learn that ______

A. people migrate like animals

B. only birds migrate

C. the female fur seals migrate only to the Gulf of Alaska

D. not all mammals migrate

82. The phrase "An example" underlined in Paragraph 1 refers to an example of a ______

Electronic mail has become an extremely important and popular means of communication.

The convenience and efficiency of electronic mail are threatened by the extremely rapid growth in the volume of unsolicited commercial electronic mail. Unsolicited commercial electronic mail is currently estimated to account for over half of all electronic mall traffic, up from an estimated 7 percent in 2001, and the volume continues to rise. Most of these messages are fraudulent or deceptive in one or more respects.

The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic mail may result in costs to recipients who cannot refuse to accept such mail and who incur costs for the storage of such mail, or for the time spent accessing, reviewing, and discarding such mail, or for both. The receipt of a large number of unwanted messages also decreases the convenience of electronic mall and creates a risk that wanted electronic mail messages, both commercial and noncommercial, will be lost, overlooked, or discarded amidst the larger volume of unwanted messages, thus reducing the reliability and usefulness of electronic mail to the recipient. Some commercial electronic mail contains material that many recipients may consider vulgar or pornographic in nature.

The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail imposes significant monetary costs on providers of Internet access services, businesses, and educational and nonprofit institutions that carry and receive such mail, as there is a finite volume of mail that such providers, businesses, and institutions can handle without further investment in infrastructure. Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully disguise the source of such mall.

Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mall purposefully include misleading information in the messages' subject lines in order to induce the recipients to view the messages. While some senders of commercial electronic mail messages provide simple and reliable ways for recipients to reject (or 'opt-out' of) receipt of commercial electronic mall from such senders in the future, other senders provide no such 'opt-out' mechanism, or refuse to honor the requests of recipients not to receive electronic mail from such senders in the future, or both.

Many senders of bulk unsolicited commercial electronic mail use computer programs to gather large numbers of electronic mail addresses on an automated basis from Internet websites or online services where users must post their addresses in order to make full use of the website or service.

The problems associated with the rapid growth and abuse of unsolicited commercial electronic mall cannot be solved by the government alone. The development and adoption of techno-logical approaches and the pursuit of cooperative efforts with other countries will be necessary as well.

91. According to the passage, efficiency of e-mail is threatened by ______

Part 3

36．A[分析] 习惯搭配。

根据句意：知道苹果已种植了3,000多年的人不多。people是复数名词，用not much形容不对；而not many意为“不多”；如：Not many high school students can study abroad．高中生能去留学的不多。因此选项A为答案。

37．D[分析] 习惯搭配。

native表示“(某地)固有的，原产的，(动植物)特有的”之意时，后面一般加to+名词，如：animals native to Africa非洲原产的动物，因此选项D是答案。

38．B[分析] 代词搭配。

根据句意：所有的生物都是一代一代地向下传递其遗传特性。another另一个，泛指同类事物中的另一个：本句是指从一代向另一代传递，因此from one to another是正确选项。

39．D[分析] 代词应用。

所填之词应指代前面提到的joints，是名词复数，所以应用代词them来代替。因此选项D为答案。40．C[分析] 形容词应用。

outside和outer均有“外部的”意思。但outside一般指物体的外表或表面，而outer指一种相对性，即相对于内部而言的外部或外表，appearance外貌，外观，hiding隐匿：在此指牙齿的外表面，是相对于内部而言的，因此选项C为答案。

41．C[分析] 名词应用。

此句意为：人工照明的最早方式就是火，而且火还能提供温暖和保护。所填之处应是一个名词，因此应为选项C。

42．A[分析] 结构应用。

此句意为：所有的哺乳动物都有毛发，但并不明显。but引导的句子主语应是指代前面所提的整件事，而不是前句主语all mammals，因此主语应用it；如用选项B，本句就不能用but连接了，因此只有选项A 是答案。

43．B[分析] 名词应用。

要注意这几个形近词的应用：A．economy经济，节约，经济制度的状况：B．economics经济学，C．economical节约的，经济的；D．economic经济(上)的，产供销的，经济学的，因此选项B为答案。44．C[分析] 结构应用。

划线部分应填本句的谓语动词(machines是主语，that use hydraulic pressure是定语)，根据句意，谓语动词应表“包括”之意，且在此不表被动，因此选项C是答案。

45．A[分析] 结构应用。

划线部分应填be动词(the first recorded use of natural gas是主语，to light street lamps是状语)：又因发生在过去，用过去时，所以选项A是答案。

46．B[分析] 习惯搭配。

根据句意：尽管各门社会科学之间有很大的差异，它们却都对人际关系有着共同的兴趣。其中表示：……与……不同，应用动词词组differ…from，而vary from指“不规则地改变成断断续续地改变，强调变化的多样性”，有时也指事物在不同地点、时间、条件下的变化或差异，如：The weather varies from hour to hour in some mountain districts．在某些山区，天气时刻变化。所以只有选项B是答案。

47．C[分析] 名词应用。

本句意为：跟赛跑者不一样，竞走者必须始终使脚的某一部分接触地面。在此相比较的是赛跑者与竞走者，因此答案应在B、C中选择，又因主语race walkers是复数，所以选项C是答案。

48．D[分析] 结构应用。

此处要注意词序：时间状语是at．．．time，如：at this (that) time在这(那)时：future在此是形容词“未来的，将来的”，作time的定语；因此选项D是答案。

49．A[分析] 结构应用。

本句意为：纽约市在有些方面胜过其他大西洋沿岸的港口城市，因为它与其他内陆城市发展起了最好的交通联系。在此要表达“部分地，在有些方面”，应用partly或in part(介词in后不能用副词partly，应当用名词part)：而partial部分的，局部的，偏袒的，partner合伙人，股东；parting分别，分歧出；因此选项A是答案。

50．A[分析] 结构应用。

根据句意，前后两句应是转折关系，因此连接词应是表示转折关系的but，而不能用表示并列关系的and；因此选项A是答案。or表示“或”；as“当……之时，随着”；thus“因此，这样”。

Section 2

51．C[分析] 丰旨题型。

本文首先谈及她是美国第一个黑人诗人，后描写了她出生在非洲，被贩卖黑奴的船只带到美国，被John and Susannah Wheatley买去，与其他黑奴一样在这家受到尊重，跟从John and Susannah Wheatley的女儿Mary受教育……：十三岁写出她的第一首诗……；后结婚生子，最终三十岁时穷困而死：因此选项C是答案。

52．A[分析] 词义题型。

从第一段可以看出她虽被卖为奴隶，却受到良好的对待，甚至不久就被当作是家庭的一员(Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family)，因此respect在此应为consideration体贴，照顾；选项A正确。其余几个选项全是反义。

53．D[分析] 细节题型。

见第一段第四句：The family had three other slaves…她也是被头为奴隶的，……因此这家有4个奴隶；选项D为答案。

54．C[分析] 细节题型。

尽管选项B、C、D都与文章内容相符，但本题问的是Mary本身拥有的与众不同的特点，所以选项C 为答案。

55．A[分析] 词义题型。

eventually最后，终于，文章提到Mrs．Wheatley一家将她买为奴隶，却抚养教育她，最终Mrs．Wheatley 决定让她成为一个基督徒。选项B．缓慢地；C．不情愿地：D．逐渐地，均不符合题意；因此只有选项A是答案。

56．B[分析] 细节题型。

选项A在第二段第一句中提及；选项C在第二段倒数第二句中提及，选项D在第三段第三句中提及：只有选项B是错误的：因此B为答案。

57．A[分析] 细节题型。

此句意为：Mary试图使出版商对Phyllis的诗感兴趣，但一旦他们听说Phyllis是个黑人时，就兴趣索然。因此此处的they指的应是选项A。

58．A[分析] 推断题型。

由第三段第二句(It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health.)可知这只是人们的希望，并不见得能实现；因此选项A为答案。

59．D[分析] 词义题型。

根据上下文，她写诗“extolling”华盛顿的成就并将诗送给他。因此，extolling应为“赞美”之意，选项D正确。

60．A[分析] 主旨题型，

根据全文得知：她才华横溢，十二岁时即能看希腊、罗马名著和圣经，十三岁时写出第一首诗……；但当出版商们得知她是黑人就对她不感兴趣了……。因此我们可总结出：如果她不是黑人，她会得到更多的认可。选项A正确。

61．A[分析] 主旨题型。

见本文主旨句，第二段第一句：The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants．(第一段谈的是the study of isolated roots；第二段谈的是the relationship between shoots and roots)：因此选项A应为答案。

62．A[分析] 细节题型。

见第一段第一句：About fifty years ago，plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks，这里指plant physiologists自己培育根用作物；因此themselves在此应为正确选项。63．B[分析] 细节题型。

见第一段第三句：They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins．所以选项B是答案。

64．A[分析] 细节题型。

见第一段第六句：Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds．所以选项A是答案。

65．C[分析] 推断题型。

第一段提到(块)根需要sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins，但不需要organic nitrogen compounds，因(块)根可自造所需的蛋白质和其它organic compounds；这里反复提到的organic compounds应包括the high energy compound ATP(见第一段倒数第二句)；因此可推断出选项C(一种化合物)为答案。

66．C[分析] 词义题型。

本句意为：对于分离出(孤立)的根所做的研究为了解根和芽作为一植物_____的关系提供了帮助。当然intact应为：包括根和芽的植物整体，因此选项C为答案。

67．C[分析] 词义题型。

见第二段第四句：This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning．这对于芽(蓓蕾)在早春的生长很是必要，因为叶在那时还没有起作用。所以comes in handy应表“必要”，所以选项C为答案。

68．D[分析] 推断题型。

见第二段第三、四句：根为芽提供有机氮，这对于芽(蓓蕾)在早春的生长很是必要，因为叶在那时还没有起作用。因此可推断出：在那时，植物的芽是从根处获得有机化合物的：所以选项D为答案。69．C[分析] 主旨题型。

第二段第一句为本文的主旨。而这是植物生理学家通过研究种植在实验瓶中的根，及在此基础上研究根、芽作为植物整体间的关系取得的；本文对此作了较详尽的解释。因此选项C为答案。

70．B[分析] 推断题型。

根据本篇文章的结构和文体，不可能是一篇时事通讯(因发生在大约50年前)，也不会是一篇故事或小说；在此只可能是发表在一份专业刊物上，因此选项B为答案。

71．D[分析] 细节题型。

见第一段第一句：Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply．因此选项D为答案。

72．A[分析] 是非题型。

见第一段第二句的后半部分：For example，the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound；an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1% of this cost．意即：玫瑰香(料)所需的成分是从天然玫瑰油中萃取的，这种萃取物一磅价值要数千美元；而人工合成的玫瑰香料价值只是天然的百分之一。因此选项A为答案。

73．C[分析] 细节题型。

见第一段第三句：Since the early twentieth century, success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that…符合“二十世纪早期”条件的选项只有C，所以是答案。

74．D[分析] 细节题型。

本题可用排除法。见第二段第一句：Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized；these include vanillin，the aromatic ingredient in vanilla，and benzaldehyde，the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries．选项A、B、C 的内容均被提及，因此除外的选项只有D，所以D为答案。(本题答案也可用下一题的推断法推出) 75．C[分析] 推断题型。

从第二段前几句得知：Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized．(有些天然香料可以很容易地进行人工合成。)Other fragrances，however，have dozens，even hundreds of components．(而有些却包含有几十甚至上百种成分——言外之意，较难合成。)Only recently has it been possible to separate and identify these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy．(只是到了最近，由于使用气相色谱分析和分光镜才能分离或鉴别出这些成分。)Once the chemical identity is known，it is often possible to synthesize them．(一旦了解了它们的化学成分，人们就有可能将之合成。)Nevertheless, some complex substances, (然而仍有一些复杂的成分，如新鲜咖啡的香味难以合成得令人满意。)；由此可推断出很难合成与新鲜咖啡香味相同的香料。选项C内容与此意最接近，所以是答案。

76．A[分析] 推断题型。

见上题推理：作者之所以提及新鲜咖啡，是借此例来说明一些成分复杂的物质很难令人满意地合成出来。所以选项A为答案。

77．B[分析] 细节题型。

见第二段倒数第二句(见75题答案)，所以选项B为答案。

78．B[分析] 推断题型。

见第三段第一句：Many of the chemical compounds…and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances．由此推断出：有些化学合成物(其中也包括香料)与其自然界存在的物质一样是无害的，有些则是有害的。因此选项B为答案。

79．D[分析] 主旨题型。

阅读全文可知本文是围绕天然调味品和香料供应有限且价格不菲(见第一段第一句)，后有了人工合成品替代(尽管有些合成容易，有些困难)，使大量生产成为可能：其中主要部分谈的是人工合成品(调味品和香料)：因此选项D为答案。

80．C[分析] 细节题型。

可用排除法：选项A、D的内容见第四段后半句，选项B的内容见第四段前半句：只有选项C的内容未被提及(因为lemon柠檬属于natural substance，不是人工合成物)，所以是答案。

81．D[分析] 推断题型。

从文章前几句得知：一些人认为有迁徙习性的主要是鸟类……但哺乳动物也“迁徙”：其中一个例子是……。另一个迁徙的例子是……。由此推断出并不是所有的哺乳动物都迁徙；因此选项D是答案。本题也可用排除法做：选项A，B、C均是错误的，所以只有D是正确选项。

82．A[分析] 细节题型。

见上题分析，第二、三句提到哺乳动物也迁徙：其中—个例子是……。当然这个例子应是指迁徙的哺乳动物了。所以选项A是答案。

83．B[分析] 细节题型。

选项A和C在第三句中提及：选项D在第六句中提及：因此本题答案应为B。

84．D[分析] 细节题型。

见第三句、五句：An example is the caribou，reindeer that graze on the grassy slopes of northern Canada．．．Their tracks are so well-worn that they are clearly visible from the air．因此答案为D。

85．B[分析] 是非题型。

见文章最后一句：In winter，the whales move to warm waters to breed and give birth to their young．因此选项B为答案。

86．C[分析] 细节题型。

[注意本题容易选错]从文章Another migrating mammal is the Alaska fur seal These seals breed only in the

Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea. The young are born in June and by September are strong enough to go with their mothers on a journey of over 3,000 miles．Together they swim down the Pacific Coast of North America．The females and young travel as far as southern California．The males do not journey so far，中的划线部分可知，The females and young Alaska fur seal会从the Bering Sea(白令海——北太平洋的一部分)swim down the Pacific Coast of North America直到southern California；而The males也会从白令海南下(因为These seals breed only in the Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea．)，只不过他们没有the females and young走的远罢了。因此选项C为答案。

87．B[分析] 是非题型。

选项A(见文章最后一句)、选项C(见上题)和选项D(见第三句)的内容在文章中均有提及，所以选项B 是答案。

88．A[分析] 细节题型。

见文章倒数第三、四句：Whales eat huge quantities of plankton(浮游生物)。These are most abundant in cold polar waters，所以选项A为答案。也可用排除法：选项B指的是reindeer的习性，选项C文中未提及鲸以幼仔为生，选项D指的是tropic water，与polar water相反：所以只有选项A正确。

89．B[分析] 细节题型。

文章提及reindeer(第三句)，the Alaska fur seal(第六句)和Whales(倒数第五句)所以选项B为答案。90．C[分析] 主旨题型。

阅读全文，本文主要讲的是一些迁徙的哺乳动物，未仔细谈及几种类型的迁徙；因此C为答案。91．D[分析] 细节题型。

见第二段第一句：The convenience and efficiency of electronic mail are threatened by _______ unsolicited commercial electronic mail．从第三段得知unsolicited commercial electronic mail指的是unwanted messages；因此选项D为答案。

92．B[分析] 是非题型。

见第三段第一句：The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic mail may result in costs to recipients who _____,or for the time spent accessing，reviewing，and discarding such mail，or for both．三个划线部分分别是选项A、C、D的内容，因此只有选项B为答案。

93．B[分析] 细节题型。

见第三段第二句：The receipt of a large number of unwanted messages also decreases the convenience of electronic mail and creates a risk that wanted electronic mail messages, both commercial and noncommercial，will be lost, overlooked, or discarded amidst…因此选项B为答案。

94．C[分析] 词义题型。

本文第三段主要谈及unsolicited commercial electronic mail带来的害处，且根据上下文，pornographic 应与or前面的vulgar(粗俗的)近义：因此选项A．decent正派的，有分寸的、B．instructional指导的，教育的，D．commercial商业的，贸易的，均不符合题意，只有选项、C．sexual(性的)符合题意，是答案。pornographic色情的，色情作品的。

95．A[分析] 细节题型。

见第四段第一句：The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail imposes significant monetary costs on providers of Internet access services，businesses，and educational and nonprofit institutions that…因此选项A 是答案。

96．B[分析] 词义题型。

见第四段最后一句：Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully disguise the source of such mail．根据前面提及的unsolicited commercial electronic mall会带来许多危害，可推断出发送人当然不希望人们知道他们的地址了；因此选项B．hide(隐藏，掩饰)是答案。disguise隐瞒，掩饰：reveal 展现，揭示，deliver递送，陈述；post邮递，张贴，揭示。

97．A[分析] 词义题型。

从第五段第一句：Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully include misleading

information in the messages' subject lines in order to induce the recipients to view the messages．得知：这些人故意在邮件主题栏中使用一些会误导的信息来_______收件人观看信息，四个选项中A．cheat(欺骗，骗取)用在划线部分最符合题意。选项B(介绍)和C(提供)都不如A的意思恰当。

98．B[分析] 细节题型。

第四段第二句是个对比句：While some senders…provide simple and reliable ways for recipients to reject (or‘opt-out’of)receipt of…，other senders provide no such‘opt-out’mechanism…从中得知‘opt-out’应是reject的近义词；而‘opt-out’mechanism应是前半句中提到的simple and reliable ways for recipients to reject receipt of……；因此选项B最符合题意。

99．C[分析] 推断题型。

从第六段得知：发送这些unwanted messages的人利用电脑程序自动从国际互联网站或在线服务来收集大量的e-mail地址……，由此推知：他们会向这些地址发送unwanted messages，目的当然应是发送广告了，因此选项C是答案。

100．D[分析] 细节题型。

见最后一段。选项A、B、C的内容都对，但都不全面：只有选项D(人们共同的努力和新技术的使用)最全面，是答案。

Section 3

1．risks[分析] 语境搭配。

根据语境分析，“保险是对风险的分担”，按照下文“风险”的用词，此处应填risks。

2．to[分析] 词语搭配。

此句意为：几乎每个人都会遭遇某种风险。be exposed to使(日光、风雨等)暴露于，使遭受(危险等)，使接触到(作用、影响)。
