You should write at least 100 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below: ） 第1题 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of Students' Starting Their Own Businesses. You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below. 目前有不少大学生开始创业 1．对此不少人给予了肯定 2．也有人有不同的看法 3．我认为… Students' Starting Their Own Businesses 【正确答案】： [范文一] Students' Starting Their Own Businesses (1) Many college students are now seeing (2) self-employment as the more attractive option as the jobs market continues to be competitive. (3) To some people, the idea of (2) being a student entrepreneur is a good one. (2) Being their own boss is a great aspiration for young people and gives them an opportunity to put their theoretical business knowledge into practice. (3) To other people, however, the idea of(2) starting a business as a college student may seem like a radical one. (4) To make it through the start-up phase, young entrepreneurs need plenty of initiative and drive. (4) And to run the business requires constant care and management. (4) Young entrepreneurs may have to endure a heavy workload and a lot of stress but they may not be physically and mentally up to the challenge. (5) As you can see, things are hard for college students these days. It's expensive to get a degree and even you have one, there is no guarantee that it will mean anything in these job markets. (6) So, wouldn't it be better to (2) launch your own enterprise? It can help you pay off those expensive years at college, and if it succeeds you have a job guaranteed the moment you graduate. [范文二] Students' Starting Their Own Businesses (1) People's opinions vary when it comes to graduates' (2) starting their own businesses. Some people say it's a great alternative for graduates in the current difficult job market. (3) First, in this way, they will be achieving their dreams and make better use of their skills and knowledge. (3) Second, it always seems better (2) working for yourself rather than laboring for someone else. (4) Others, however, maintain that it is not wise for college students to (2) launch their own enterprises just after graduation. (4) For one thing, new grads are lacking of life experience, communicative abilities and knowledge about industries, as well as tolerance. (4) For another, most student entrepreneurs might fail and most of them would complain about social injustice or blame their teams instead of themselves for the failure. Finally, they might (5) lose both confidence in the future and will to work. (6) In my opinion, starting a new business involves risks. While there may be potential for high earnings, there's also the potential for financial loss. Anyone including college graduates (2) seeking self-employment and wanting to (2) be their own boss should be aware of the consequences of failure. If they are not willing to (5) take the risk, they should reconsider (2) launching their own enterprises.   [本题分数]： 106.0 分 【答案解析】 [审题] 分析标题和提纲可知，应写一篇说明文或议 论文 政研论文下载论文大学下载论文大学下载关于长拳的论文浙大论文封面下载 ，或说明议论相结合。首段应先简述一下现象，然后讲述赞成者的观点和理由；第二段讲述不同的观点和理由；第三段给出自己的看法时可赞成，可反对，也可折衷。 [思路一] 第一段：简述目前不少大学生选择创业这一现象，指出有人对此给予肯定，理由：创业对于年轻人而言是一项伟大的抱负，是一个将知识学以致用的机会； 第二段：指出有人对此 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 示不赞同，理由：创业过程会遇到各种挑战，年轻的大学生无论是在体力还是精神上都无法应对； 第三段：给出自己的看法：赞成。原因：大学生创业既能挣学费，又能解决毕业后的就业问题，一举两得。 [点评] (1)简单扼要讲述现象 (2)“自主创业”的多种表达法，富于变化 (3)前后形成对照 (4)先讲述两个原因，然后说结果，逻辑性强 (5)第二人称给人一种面对面沟通的感觉 (6)反问句增强语气 [思路二] 第一段：讲述对于大学生创业，人们看法不同，有人认为这是个不错的就业选择，原因：能实现梦想，学以致用；自己当老板总比给别人打工要强； 第二段：讲述有人认为这种做法不明智，原因：大学生缺乏许多必备条件；创业失败极容易打击大学生对未来和工作的信心； 第三段：表明自己的观点：创业者应有风险意识，否则应重新考虑自己的创业计划。 [点评] (1)开篇点题 (2)“自主创业”的多种表达，避免单调死板 (3)说明两个理由，一目了然 (4)采用“总-分”的结构，脉络清晰 (5)亮点词组：“失去对…的信心”；“接受风险” (6)表明自己的观点。“担风险” 二、Cloze（共20小题,共70.0分）There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

W: When you said that the Internet is causing a decline in psychological well-being, what do you mean by that? M: Well, psychologically, people are getting more depression and loneliness than before, especially for those who spend long time on the Internet. W: So if people spend just a few hours a week on the Internet, they would not have the bad feeling then? M: Not really. Actually, it's not the long time on the Net that causes them feel bad but the state of being on the Net does. W: But you said you had much brighter expectations at first. M: Yes, we supposed that the Net would prove to be socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others. W: Then, why did the result turn to be completely contrary to your expectations? M: Well, people on the Net do have more "virtual" communication, but this kind of faceless and bodiless communication is less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation. And they reduce their time being with family and friends. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives. W: The Internet should be found guilty of this phenomenon, right? M: I don't think so. It's not about the technology; it's about how it is used. It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology. 22．What really makes people feel bad on the Internet according to the man? [听前预测] 预览四道题各选项，由选项中的the Internet, does no good to, communication等可知，对话可能与因特网的影响有关。 [解析] 对话中男士提到，it's not the long time on the Net that causes them feel bad but the state of being on the Net does，上网这种状态而不是上网时间过长导致人们感觉不好，[C]的表述与此一致，故为答案。 [点睛] It's…that…是强调句型，强调主语；not…but…句式，强调的是后者。 第13题 A The Net is healthier than TV. B The Net is not healthy for people. C The Net does not help with people's communication. D The Net does no good to people's psychological well-being. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Which is included in the expectations of the man at first? [解析] 选项主语均为The Net及healthier, help, no good等表明，本题可能考查网络的优缺点。对话中男士提到，we supposed that the Net would prove to be socially healthier than television(我们原以为网络会比电视在社交上更健康)，[A]的表述与此一致，故为答案。 第14题 A They stay at home longer than before. B They have more friends on the Internet. C They give too much time to the Internet. D They have less face-to-face conversations than before. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Why do people get less happiness from the spiritual aspect? [解析] 选项均以They为主语，本题可能考查某一类人的活动。对话中男士提到，this kind of faceless…communication is less psychologically satisfying，[D]中face-to-face conversations与actual conversation同义。 [点睛] 问题中的get less happiness是对对话中is less psychologically satisfying的同义转述。 第15题 A The fast-developing technology. B The people who design different applications. C The way how people make use of the Internet. D The increasing information and communication via the Net. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What is the radical reason for this phenomenon according to the man? [解析] 对话中女士问到，The Internet should be found guilty of this phenomenon, right?(因特网应该对这种现象负责，对吗?)，男士回答说，it's about how it is used，即使用电脑的方式是产生不良现象的原因。[C]中The way how people make use of the internet是对how it is used的同义转述，故为答案。 [点睛] …find guilty of...意为“指出罪责所在，认定…有罪”，主语和of后宾语之间有隐含的因果关系。 四、Reading Comprehension（共10小题,共90.0分）There are several passages in this section.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. 第1题 The 35 percent of African-American youth living in poverty are the most visible victims of what is often called the achievement gap. But black children of all socioeconomic levels perform worse on national tests and graduate in fewer numbers than their white middle-class peers. A 2009 study by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics found that African-American students scored, on average, 26 points lower than white students on their reading and math tests. Some say, as Harvard psychologist Richard J. Herrnstein and American Enterprise Institute political scientist Charles Murray did in their 1994 book, The Bell Curve, that the cause is genetic. And though The Bell Curve has been discredited in scientific circles, the idea that IQ is somehow linked to race has been slow to retreat. Others, like Cornell University researchers Gary Evans and Michelle Schamberg, believe that "physiological stress is a plausible model for how poverty could get into the brain and eventually interfere with achievement," as they wrote in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Our best efforts at narrowing the gap nationally - think No Child Left Behind - haven't worked. But locally, there are now signs of hope. At the Harlem Children's Zone's Promise Academy charter schools, at least 97 percent of third graders scored at or above grade level on a statewide math test in 2008, outperforming the average scores of both black and white children in New York City and New York State. What the HCZ does is first recognize that the amelioration (改善) of poverty does not begin and end with an excellent education, but also requires a full belly, parental education, safety, advocacy, and the expectation that every student will succeed. "We help parents and kids through the system," HCZ founder Geoffrey Canada says. "We get them past every hindrance put in their way, whether it be at home or with social services. We can advocate on a child's behalf, whether it be at home or in the classroom or with the juvenile justice system." Indeed, the HCZ starts early: it provides new parents with a Baby College to teach parenting skills during the crucial first three years of a child's life and a preschool Gems program, where kids learn not only French and Spanish but healthy eating habits to combat childhood obesity. The Zone also offers the HCZ Asthma Initiative to provide medical care and education to families, thus drastically cutting down on the number of school days missed by students suffering from asthma (哮喘). And it has a network of afterschool programs that teach media literacy, karate (空手道), and computer skills. It's called the pipeline - once families enter, it's hoped that they'll stay until their child graduates from college. The idea is to create a safety net woven so tightly that kids can't slip through. What does the author say about African-American youth as a whole? A They have more graduates from community colleges. B They score far below the average education level. C They obviously are victims of the American education system. D Their academic performances are worse than their white peers. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据题干中的African-American youth as a whole将本题出处定位到首段第二句。[D]项中的Their academic performances are worse是对该句提到的black children…perform worse on national tests(黑人孩子在全国性考试中成绩比较糟糕)的同义转述，故答案为[D]。[A]与该句提到的graduate in fewer numbers than…white…peers矛盾，故排除。[B]在文中未提及，故排除。该段首句提到35%的African American youth是the achievement gap最显而易见的牺牲品，由此可排除[C]。 转折处设题。本题解题的关键是理解题干中的African American youth as a whole指代文中提到的black children of all socioeconomic levels。 第2题 According to the passage, the book The Bell Curve ______. A has sparked a heated debate in the scientific field B leads to the study on the link between race and IQ C states that intelligence has a lot to do with race D is against the idea that intelligence is decided by race 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据题干中的book The Bell Curve将本题出处定位到第二段末句。该句提到，虽然《钟曲线》的观点一直遭到科学界的质疑，但其中关于智商与种族有某种程度的联系这一观点却并未因此就迅速消失。由此可知，《钟曲线》这本书中宣称智商和种族有关，故答案为[C]，同时排除[D]。[A]项是针对scientific circles设的干扰项。[B]项在文中未提及，故排除。 同位语从句处设题。本题针对the idea后that引导的同位语从句的内容进行提问，用has…to do with对is…linked to进行了同义转述。 第3题 Experts like Michelle Schamberg think that ______. A the achievement gap can be narrowed easily B it is unreasonable to relate low achievement to poverty C physiological stress works on achievement indirectly D it is impossible to achieve the goal of equal performance 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据题干中的Michelle Schamberg将本题出处定位到第三段首句。该句提到，而其他人，就像康奈尔大学的两位研究员Gary Evans和Michelle Schamberg在《美国科学院院刊》中所写的那样，相信“生理上的压力似乎会使贫困深深刻印在脑海中，并最终干扰到学业成绩。”由此可知，Michelle Schamberg等人认为生理压力会间接影响学业成绩，故答案为[C]。[A]项与该段末句矛盾，故排除。Michelle Schamberg等人认为low achievement和poverty之间有关系，故排除[B]。[D]项是针对末句设的干扰项。 特殊标点符号处/宾语从句处/举例处设题。本题需要根据physiological stress → poverty get into the brain → interfere with achievement来推导第一个要素对最后一个要素的影响是indirectly。 第4题 When it comes to fighting poverty, the Harlem Children's Zone ______. A stresses more on crime prevention B emphasizes an all-around system C condemns parents as a hindrance D sees excellent education as the sole way 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据题干中的poverty以及the Harlem Children's Zone将本题出处定位到第五段首句。该句提到，HCZ所做的是，首先认识到改变贫困并非只始于或者止于良好的教育，还需要以下因素：孩子不饿肚子、家长教育、安全、支持以及期望每个孩子都能成功。[B](强调一个全面的体系)正是对HCZ改变贫困五种看法的概括总结，故答案为[B]。[A]是针对末句提到的juvenile justice system设的干扰项。[C]项是针对倒数第二句提到的every hindrance put in their way, whether it be at home设的干扰项。[D]项与HCZ的观点矛盾，故排除。 宾语从句处/观点处设题。本题概括总结了文中对HCZ观点进行具体阐述的not…but also…，并用When it comes to…这一固定结构引出HCZ对贫困的看法。 第5题 According to the passage, the purpose of HCZ's black education is to ______. A offer students an integrated system B reduce the number of asthmatic children C get rid of poverty at the first place D set up a network to protect students from hazards 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据题干中的the purpose将本题出处定位到末段末句。该句提到，HCZ是想创造一个安全网络，让它织得足够紧密，这样孩子们就不会落下。文中提到HCZ所做的事情包括：为新爸爸新妈妈们开设婴儿学院；提供学前精华课；开展HCZ哮喘计划；拥有一套课外活动体系，教授媒介素养、空手道以及计算机技能。结合HCZ所做的事情可知，HCZ想创造的安全网络其实是一个综合系统，包括各个方面的内容，故答案为[A]。[B]是HCZ哮喘计划的作用。HCZ提到改善贫困，但并未说要把摆脱贫困放在首位，故排除[C]。[D]项是针对a safety net设的干扰项。 目的处/比喻处设题。文章末句把HCZ教育黑人的目的用一个比喻句形象地表达出来。本题需要结合HCZ所做的事情来理解a safety net所要表达的真实含义。 第6题 Since Andrew Benton graduated from college less than four years ago, he has dropped out of a Princeton Ph.D. program in economics, moved to rural Georgia to start a Web-software company that he's trying to sell, and now works freelance (自由职业) for a cloud-computing company in Silicon Valley. He buys his own health insurance and contributes to his retirement accounts; neither his policy nor his accounts receive corporate contributions. Does his job instability and lack of benefits worry him? Nope. The 26-year-old does not expect to hold a traditional 9-to-5 job unless he starts his own business again, and he is not overly pessimistic about the recession's long-term effect on his career. "I don't pay that much attention to what is going on in the economy," he says. "I just found stuff I was interested in." Whatever you make of this attitude - smart, entitled, tech savvy (聪明的), risky, or bold-Benton is arguably the prototype (典型) of the new and perhaps ideal worker in the post-recession economy. Still, this savvy demographic group isn't immune from the career setbacks of the recession. Workers born after 1980, who are having a harder time gaining a foothold in the job market, may face lower earnings over the next several years of their careers. Those who opt for traditional corporate careers have had to readjust their expectations. For some young, well-educated workers such as 24-year-old Adrian Muniz, the recession has been startling. Muniz graduated from Brown University in 2007 and moved to New York City, expecting to easily find work at a magazine. Instead, he ended up working at high-end retail stores for the past three years and doing media internships on the side to build up his résumé. When the economy does pick up, experts warn that millennials, i.e. people born in or after 1980, may leave their companies for better jobs and higher paychecks. They will quit to travel the world, or simply because they did not like their boss. When more jobs become available, the millennials will use their tech savvy to promote themselves on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks. They will have no problem accepting contract, short-term work in place of a steadier paycheck. "The economy is actually creating a type of work that suits millennials well and does not suit baby boomers," says Karl Ahlrichs, a human-resources consultant. In part, that's because the economy is generating jobs in technology, computers, education, and health care that require serious technological, entrepreneurial, and creative skills as opposed to expertise in operations or management. Armed with their education, parental support, or savings, millennials seem to have plenty of answers when it comes to dealing with the current economy. Still, questions remain. In their 30s and 40s, will they start their own businesses rather than joining the ranks of middie management? Will their innovative and entrepreneurial streak survive as they move through adult rites (仪式) of passage such as buying houses, raising children, or caring for aging parents? Ask a millennial and they'll tell you that they'll find or invent new answers to such age-old questions. What do we learn about Andrew Benton's work experience? A He has now an unsteady job without corporate welfare benefits. B Without a Ph.D., he was at a disadvantage when applying for job. C He gave up the chance to take a traditional corporate job. D It takes about four years for him to realize what he wants to be. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据题干中的Andrew Benton和work将本题出处定位到首段前三句。前两句讲述了Andrew Benton的工作状况：现在，他正着手出售自己开创的公司，同时，他兼着硅谷的一家云计算机公司的工作。自己购买健康保险，并为自己的养老保险账户缴纳保险金；他的保险和养老账户公司均不负责。第三句提到的job instability and lack of benefits正是对上述工作状况的概括总结，故答案为[A]。[C]是针对该段倒数第二句设的干扰项。[D]是针对首句中提到的four years设的干扰项。[B]在文中未提及，故排除。 反问处设题。本题解题关键是理解反问句中提到的job instability and lack of benefits概括总结了前两句中对Andrew Benton工作进行的具体描述。 第7题 What is a main concern of Andrew Benton? A Whether the economy is going to pick up quickly. B When he should start and run another software firm. C Whether the job interests him and arouses his curiosity. D How he can find an ideal job unaffected by the recession. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据题干中的main concern和Andrew Benton将本题出处定位到首段末句。该句提到Andrew Benton关注的东西。[C]项中提到的the job interests him and arouses his curiosity是对该句提到的stuff I was interested in的同义转述，故答案为[C]。根据I don't pay that much attention to what is going on in the economy可排除[A]。[B]是针对he starts his own business again设的干扰项。[D]在文中未提及，故排除。 引言处/定语从句处设题。本题需要根据题干中的main concern与文中提到的pay that much attention to之间的同义转述进行准确定位。 第8题 According to the passage, in the job market, workers born after 1980 A earn much more than their predecessors B have been affected by the economic downturn C gain a competitive edge with good education D are undoubtedly ideal workers for the economy 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据题干中的workers born after 1980将本题出处定位到第三段。该段首句提到，这部分聪明的人也不能免于经济衰退时的事业困境。第二句进行了解释说明：越来越难在就业市场赢得一席之地的80后工作者，在他们事业接下来的几年里可能要面对收入下降的情况。由此可知，80后工作者也受到了经济衰退的影响，故答案为[B]。[A]与文中提到的workers born after 1980…may face lower earnings矛盾，故排除。[C]项是针对末段首句设的干扰项。[D]是针对第二段提到的arguably the…ideal worker in…economy设的干扰项，故排除。 非限制性定语从句处设题。本题需要根据首句和第二句之间解释说明的关系来理解this savvy demographic group指代workers born after 1980。 第9题 What accounts for millennials' being suitable for work created by the current economy? A Their desire to promote themselves. B Their strong sense of looking after families. C Their special skills in running and managing firms. D Their embrace of tech skills and innovative ideas. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据题干中的millennials, suitable和economy将本题出处定位到第五段最后两句。题干中的millennials'being suitable for work created by the current economy是对倒数第二句提到的The economy…creating…work…suits millennials well的同义转述。[D]项中的embrace of tech skills and innovative ideas是对末句原因中提到的require serious technological, entrepreneurial, and creative skills的同义转述，故答案为[D]。[A]是针对该段第三句设的干扰项。[B]是针对末段第四句设的干扰项。该段末句未提到的这些工作需要运作和管理方面的专业知识，故排除[C]。 引言处/因果处设题。本题用accounts for(解释，说明)对文中because从句解释说明的原因进行提问，选项对文中that引导的定语从句进行了同义转化。 第10题 What can we infer from the passage about millennials' attitude towards their future? A Negative. B Uncertain. C Positive. D Conservative. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据题干中的millennials和future将本题出处定位到末段。末段通过两个问句提出millennials未来所要面临的问题，末句millermials对此进行了回答：他们到时候会找到或者创造出应对这些由来已久的问题的方法。由millennials的回答可推断出，他们对未来持积极乐观的态度，故答案为[C]。 观点处设题。本题需要根据millennials对两个涉及未来的问题的回答来合理推断他们的态度。 五、Listening Comprehension（Section B）（共10小题,共70.0分） In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. 第1题 A When they are with a baby-sitter. B When they are with another baby. C When they are with a strange adult. D When they are with an elderly person. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 26-28 Recently a five-year study was conducted by the Center for Childhood Development in Los Angeles, California, regarding the way babies react to different types of people. The findings of study suggest that infant children seem to be more comfortable around other babies than they are with strange adults. The results confirm the ideas of Dr. Richard Perelman, who has written many books about raising children. Dr. Perelman supports the findings of the study and adds that it is a sounder idea to keep children with other children, as in a day care center, than it is to have children cared for by a baby-sitter. According to the results of the study, infants benefit from being in the company of other babies on a daily basis. Whereas some babies seem to show fear of strange adults, they are likely to reach out to try to touch an unfamiliar baby. The study even suggests that children as young as one year old can form friendships. Two of the children in the study were especially close. It was reported that if the children were separated for any reason they would start to cry. The only way to satisfy them was to allow them to be together. If the findings are true it may lead to an increase in the use of family -oriented day care centers where children can spend more time with each other and less time with adults. 26．According to the study，when do babies feel the most comfortable? [听前预测] 预览三道题各选项，由选项中的baby-sitter，show fear，cry和day care centers可知，短文与婴儿有关，且可能涉及到婴儿对事物的反应和照顾婴儿的方法；第26、27题中的they可能就是指婴儿。 [解析] 由选项均以When开头可知，本题可能考查时间或条件。短文开头提到一份研究的发现结果，婴幼儿和other babies在一起会比和strange adults在一起seem to be more comfortable，故答案为[B]。 [点睛] 问题将短文中的more…than结构转化为最高级结构，表达相同的意义，听清comfortable是解答本题的关键。 第2题 A They show fear. B They start to cry. C They turn to adults. D They reach out to touch them. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] How do babies react to unfamiliar babies? [解析] 短文提到，some babies害怕陌生的成年人，但他们却会reach out to try to touch an unfamiliar baby，故答案为[D]。reach out to在此意为“把手伸向”。 [点睛] 听清问题中的unfamiliar babies是解答本题的关键。 第3题 A Ask elderly adults to attend them. B Hire an experienced baby-sitter. C Keep them in family-based day care centers. D Let them stay with their parents or teachers. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What is the best way to care for babies? [解析] 短文通过一份研究指出，婴儿与婴儿之间多接触对他们是有好处的，而且婴儿之间会产生友谊。短文结尾进一步指出，这一发现如果证实，将会促进familyoriented day care centers的发展，也就是说照顾婴儿最好的方式是将他们送到day care centers，在那里婴儿可以更多地接触其他小孩儿，故答案为[C]。 [点睛] [C]中的family-based和短文中的family-oriented同义。 第4题 A Historic significance.

B About 50%. C Less than 68%. D Over 70%. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 32-35 Current studies show that what goes on labels is an important consideration for manufacturers, since more than seventy percent of shoppers read food labels when considering whether to buy a product. A recent controversy as to whether labels on prepared foods should educate or merely inform the consumer is over, and a consumer group got its way. The group had maintained that product labels should do more than simply list how many grams of nutrients a food contains. Their contention was that labels should also list the percentage of a day's total nutrients that the product will supply to the consumer, because this information is essential in planning a healthy diet. A government agency disagreed strongly, favoring label that merely informs the consumer, in other words, a label that only lists the contents of the product. The agency maintained that consumers could decide for themselves if the food is nutritious and is meeting their daily needs. The consumer group, in supporting its case, had cited a survey in which shoppers were shown a food label, and were then asked if they need more or less of a certain nutrient after eating a serving of this product. The shoppers were not able to answer the questions easily when they were not given a specific percentage. This study, and others helped get the new regulation passed, and now food products must have the more detailed labels. 32．According to the speaker, how many percent of customers read food labels before making a purchase? [听前预测] 预览四道题各选项，由34题中的表态度的形容词和35题中反复出现的labeling可知，短文可能与标签的种类和其中应包含的信息有关，涉及到对贴标签的看法。 [解析] 短文开头就指出，最近研究表明，正因为70%多的购物者在买东西时会阅读食物标签，所以生产商应着重考虑一下食物标签上应该写什么内容，故答案为[D]。 [点睛] 问题中making a purchase是对短文中when considering whether to buy a product的同义转述。 第8题 A What ingredient should a nutrition label list. B How to get consumers to read labels more carefully. C What food information should be provided to consumers. D Whether it is necessary to put labels on prepared foods. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What was the controversy about? [解析] 选项均以特殊疑问词开头，本题可能考查话题内容。短文中提到A recent controversy as to whether labels…should educate or merely inform the consumer，即争议在于商品标签上应提供什么样的信息，[C]是对原文的归纳概括，故为答案。 [点睛] 解答本题的关键是听清问题中的controversy。 第9题 A Doubtful. B Opposing. C Supportive. D Neutral. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What's the government agency's attitude towards more detailed labeling? [解析] 短文在提出话题后，给出了两方的意见和看法，第一方是消费者群体，另一方是政府机构。文中提到后者的态度是disagreed strongly，[B]中的Opposing即是对此的同义转述，故为答案。 [点睛] 听音时注意agree, disagree等表示态度的词汇是解答态度题关键。 第10题 A More detailed labeling. B Simple labeling. C Precise labeling. D Basic labeling. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What kind of food labels will be provided to the customers now? [解析] 短文最后提到，这项研究使得新规定出台，现在商品必须have the more detailed labels，故答案为[A]。 六、Translation（本大题5小题．每题7.0分，共35.0分。 Complete the sentences by translating into English the Chinese given in brackets.

Cowboy poetry is a form of poetry which grew out of a tradition of instant composition carried on by workers on cattle drives and ranches. After a day of work, cowboys would gather around a campfire and entertain one another with tall tales and folk songs. Illiteracy was common, so poetic forms were employed to help memory. Cowboy poetry is distinctive both in its culturally specific subject matter and its traditional use of rhyme and meter. While the range of emotional landscapes explored in cowboy poetry are the traditional province of poetry, from joy to grief , from humor to spirituality, the particulars derive from the American West: horses, cattle, fire, storms, mythic figures of cowboys and ranchers, and the splendid wilderness. In keeping with their subject matter, cowboy poets tend to write in a traditional, rhyming style. They echo folk songs more than modem poetry. Contrary to common belief, cowboy poetry does not actually have to be written by cowboys, though adherents would claim that authors should have some connection to the cowboy life such that they can write poetry with an "insider's perspective". The rise of the cowboy poet coincides with the virtual disappearance from popular culture of another Western figure. Hollywood used to make dozens of films a year about square-jawed gunslingers (枪手). It now produces almost none, and there is currently no new Western series to be found on television or basic cable. But the departure of the heroic cowboy has opened some room for gentler, more reflective voices. Although it is growing, their audience is smaller: unlike Western films, cowboy poetry is mostly produced by Westerners, for Westerners.

Hundreds of volunteers translated them from Creole and French into English, tagged them with a location and passed them on to aid agencies on the ground. Yet not one of the volunteers was anywhere near Haiti. The 4636 texting service is part of a new generation of web-based efforts to help disaster relief that has emerged from the revolution in texting, social networking and crowdsourcing. Its impact on the ground is tangible (确凿的). For example, a Haitian clinic texted 4636 that it was running low on fuel for its generator. Within 20 minutes the Red Cross said it would resupply. 4636 is run by a small organization called Ushahidi.com, originally set up in Kenya to gather reports of violence after the 2008 election. Within days of the earthquake on 12 January that flattened Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince and numerous surrounding towns, it had set up a Haitian operation and recruited hundreds of volunteers to help translate messages, many of them Haitians living in the U.S. The service is free, courtesy of Digicell, Haiti's largest mobile network operator, which had 70 per cent of its network running within 24 hours of the quake. Nicolas di Tada, who helped set up 4636 on the ground in the first days after the disaster, says that was the easy part. "The challenge was making responders on the ground aware of us." A stroke of luck made a big difference. One of the first texts was from a hospital which had 200 beds, and doctors, nurses and medical supplies on standby, but no patients, because hardly any relief agencies knew they were there. Forwarding that message on told a large number of organization about 4636. Now, radio stations help spread the word. As people generally don't send messages to say their request has been fulfilled, Ushahidi has no way of knowing how successful it has been. Still, "the system is unprecedented," says Christopher Csikszentmihalyi, director of the Center for Future Civic Media at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Who tackled text messages on earthquake-hit Haiti that poured into 4636? 【正确答案】： 答案:Hundreds of volunteers． [本题分数]： 18.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 问题考查动作的施与者，故应填表示人或组织的名词(短语)。根据题干中的text messages和earthquake定位到首段。题干中tackled是对第二句中translated，tagged和passed一系列动词的概括，故该句的主语也就是问题中谓语动作的施与者，故Hundreds of volunteers为答案。题干是问句，故不要忘记答案后面英文状态下的句号。 主语处设题。本题难点在于理解题干谓语动词tackled是对文中一系列动作的概括。 第2题 The example of a Haitian clinic receiving response from the Red Cross suggests that the 4636 texting service has __________. 【正确答案】： 答案:tangible impact [本题分数]： 18.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 由题干中的及物动词has可知，空所填词应为一名词(短语)。根据题干中的a Haitian clinic和the Red Cross定位到第二段后两句。阅读发现，这里所举事例是对第二句观点(Its impact on the ground is tangible)的进一步说明。题干中的4636 texting service has对应其中的its，故后面的impact即为has的宾语，因为此处强调的是4636中心“现实中的”作用，故不要忘记加上形容词tangible，故答案为tangible impact。 举例处设题。所举例证通常是某一观点的进一步说明，本题关键是理解4636 texting service和观点句中代词its的对应关系。 第3题 The original purpose of creating 4636 was to __________.that followed the 2008 Kenya election. 【正确答案】： 答案:gather reports of violence [本题分数]： 18.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 由空前的was to和空后的定语从句可知，本空应填一动宾短语。根据题干中的Kenya和2008 election定位到第三段首句。creating 4636对应文中的4636…is set up；问题中的The original purpose…was to对应文中to引导的目的状语，故其后的动宾短语即为答案。 目的状语处设题。题干将文中的被动语态改为了主动语态；purpose将所表达的目的更为明确。 第4题 According Nicolas di Tada, the difficult part of work for 4636 Haitian operation is __________. 【正确答案】： 答案:making responders on the ground aware of them [本题分数]： 18.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 题干中的…work…is可知，本空应填一(动)名词或短语。根据题干中的Nicolas di Tada定位到倒数第二段前两句。第一句指出把办事处建立起来是工作中的easy part，可以猜测到后面引言中可能提到工作的困难部分，题干中the difficult part of work是对文中The challenge的同义转述，由此可知making responders on the ground aware of us为答案出处。需要注意的是，题干是间接引语，故应将直接引语中第一人称的us改为第三人称的them。 引言处设题。注意直接引语转化为间接引语时，人称的变化。 第5题 Ushahidi is not clear of the effect of 4636 since senders usually do not give a feedback when __________. 【正确答案】： 答案:their request has been fulfilled [本题分数]： 18.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 由题干中的when可知，本空应填一句子成分完整的从句。根据题干中的Ushahidi和senders定位到末段首句。题干中is not clear of the effect of 4636是对文中has no way of knowing how successful it has been的同义转述。senders usually do not give a feedback是对文中people generally don't send messages to say的同义转述，故其后的their request has been fulfilled即为答案出处。 宾语从句处设题。题干的句子成分和文中句子的顺序相反，且将文中的作目的状语的不定式中的宾语从句转化为when引导的表条件的从句。 none、九（共Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)小题,10共分）70.0 第1题 Choice blindness: You don't know what you want We have all heard of experts who fail basic tests of sensory discrimination in their own field: wine snobs (自命不凡的人) who can't tell red from white wine (though in blackened cups), or art critics who see deep meaning in random lines drawn by a computer. We delight in such stories since anyone claiming to be an authority is fair game. But what if we shine the spotlight on choices we make about everyday things? Experts might be forgiven for being wrong about the limits of their skills as experts, but could we be forgiven for being wrong about the limits of our skills as experts on ourselves? We have been trying to answer this question using techniques from magic performances. Rather than playing tricks with alternatives presented to participants, we secretly altered the outcomes of their choices, and recorded how they react. For example, in an early study we showed our volunteers pairs of pictures of faces and asked them to choose the most attractive. In some trials, immediately after they made their choice, we asked people to explain the reasons behind their choices. Unknown to them, we sometimes used a double-card magic trick to secretly exchange one face for the other so they ended up with the face they did not choose. Common sense dictates that all of us would notice such a big change in the outcome of a choice. But the result showed that in 75 per cent of the trials our participants were blind to the mismatch, even offering "reasons" for their "choice". We called this effect "choice blindness", echoing change blindness, the phenomenon identified by psychologists where a remarkably large number of people fail to spot a major change in their environment. Recall the famous experiments where X asks Y for directions; while Y is struggling to help, X is switched for Z - and Y fails to notice. Researchers are still pondering the full implications, but it does show how little information we use in daily life, and undermines the idea that we know what is going on around us. When we set out, we aimed to weigh in on the enduring, complicated debate about selfknowledge and intentionality. For all the intimate familiarity we feel we have with decisionmaking, it is very difficult to know about it from the "inside": one of the great barriers for scientific research is the nature of subjectivity. As anyone who has ever been in a verbal disagreement can prove, people tend to give elaborate justifications for their decisions, which we have every reason to believe are nothing more than rationalisations (文过饰非) after the event. To prove such people wrong, though, or even provide enough evidence to change their mind, is an entirely different matter: who are you to say what my reasons are? But with choice blindness we drive a large wedge between intentions and actions in the mind. As our participants give us verbal explanations about choices they never made, we can show them beyond doubt - and prove it - that what they say cannot be true. So our experiments offer a unique window into confabulation (虚伪) (the story-telling we do to justify things after the fact) that is otherwise very difficult to come by. We can compare everyday explanations with those under lab conditions, looking for such things as the amount of detail in descriptions, how coherent the narrative is, the emotional tone, or even the timing or flow of the speech. Then we can create a theoretical framework to analyse any kind of exchange. This framework could provide a clinical use for choice blindness: for example, two of our ongoing studies examine how malingering (装病) might develop into true symptoms, and how confabulation might play a role in obsessive-compulsive disorder (强迫症). Importantly, the effects of choice blindness go beyond snap judgments. Depending on what our volunteers say in response to the mismatched outcomes of choices (whether they give short or long explanations, give numerical rating or labelling, and so on) we found this interaction could change their future preferences to the extent that they come to prefer the previously rejected alternative. This gives us a rare glimpse into the complicated dynamics of self-feedback ("I chose this, I publicly said so, therefore I must like it"), which we suspect lies behind the formation of many everyday preferences. We also want to explore the boundaries of choice blindness. Of course, it will be limited by choices we know to be of great importance in everyday life. Which bride or bridegroom would fail to notice if someone switched their partner at the altar through amazing sleight of hand (巧妙的手段)? Yet there is ample territory between the absurd idea of spouse-swapping, and the results of our early face experiments. For example, in one recent study we invited supermarket customers to choose between two paired varieties of jam and tea. In order to switch each participant's choice without them noticing, we created two sets of "magical" jars, with lids at both ends and a divider inside. The jars looked normal, but were designed to hold one variety of jam or tea at each end, and could easily be flipped over. Immediately after the participants chose, we asked them to taste their choice again and tell us verbally why they made that choice. Before they did, we turned over the sample containers, so the tasters were given the opposite of what they had intended in their selection. Strikingly, people detected no more than a third of all these trick trials. Even when we switched such remarkably different flavors as spicy cinnamon and apple for bitter grapefruit jam, the participants spotted less than half of all switches. We have also documented this kind of effect when we simulate online shopping for consumer products such as laptops or cellphones, and even apartments. Our latest tests are exploring moral and political decisions, a domain where reflection and deliberation are supposed to play a central role, but which we believe is perfectly suited to investigating using choice blindness. Throughout our experiments, as well as registering whether our volunteers noticed that they had been presented with the alternative they did not choose, we also quizzed them about their beliefs about their decision processes. How did they think they would feel if they had been exposed to a study like ours? Did they think they would have noticed the switches? Consistently, between 80 and 90 per cent of people said that they believed they would have noticed something was wrong. Imagine their surprise, even disbelief, when we told them about the nature of the experiments. In everyday decision-making we do see ourselves as knowing a lot about our selves, but like the wine buff or art critic, we often overstate what we know. The good news is that this form of decision snobbery should not be too difficult to treat. Indeed, after reading this article you might already be cured. What does the author say about some experts? A They are authorities only in their own fields. B They aren't easily fooled by the tricky tests. C The mistakes they've made are inevitable. D They sometimes fail to do well as claimed. 【正确答案】： D [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [线索词] experts [定位处] 首段首句 [解析] 该句提到，我们都听说过这样的事，行家们没能通过他们自己领域基本的感官鉴别能力测试，冒号后面对此进行了举例说明：自命不凡的喝酒者不能区分出装在深色杯子里的是红葡萄酒还是白葡萄酒，艺术批评家从计算机随机生成的文本中读出了深意。由此可知，一些专家有时候做得并不像说的那样好，故答案为[D]。 定语从句处/特殊标点符号处/举例处设题。本题需要结合冒号后的两个例子来理解fail basic tests…in their own field的真实含义。 第2题 What did the researchers do to participants in the experiments? A They put on a magic performance to the participants. B They diverted the participants' attention and disrupted their choosing. C They changed the things participants chose without their noticing. D They added confusion to the two options the participants faced. 【正确答案】： C [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [线索词] participants [定位处] 第二段第二句 [解析] 该句提到，我们没有在提供给参与者的选择对象上做手脚，而是偷偷地篡改了他们的选择结果，然后 记录 混凝土 养护记录下载土方回填监理旁站记录免费下载集备记录下载集备记录下载集备记录下载 他们的反应。[C]项中的changed the things participants chose without their noticing是对该句提到的secretly altered the outcomes of their choices的同义转述，故答案为[C]。[A]项是针对该段首句提到的magic performances设的干扰项。 否定处设题。本题解题关键是弄清楚Rather than表示的否定含义，从而确定researchers采取的措施。 第3题 What does the result of the face choosing experiments reveal? A People could explain well why they made their choices. B Only a few of participants had choice blindness in making decision. C Usually participants were aware of the limits of their skills. D Most participants didn't realize that their choices had been switched. 【正确答案】： D [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [线索词] the result [定位处] 第三段末句 [解析] 结合前文可知，该句提到的the mismatch指代exchange one face for the other so they ended up with the face they did not choose。题干中的the result…reveal与该句提到的the result showed对应，故showed后由that引导的宾语从句即为该试验所揭示的内容。[D]项中的Most与该句that从句中的in 75 per cent of the trials对应，didn't realize与were blind to对应，their choices had been switched与the mismatch对应，故答案为[D]。[A]项是针对offering "reasons" for their "choice"设的干扰项。 转折处/宾语从句处/数字处设题。本题需要弄清楚showed与reveal之间的同义转述，从而确定答案出处，然后结合前文弄清楚the mismatch具体指代什么。   第4题 Change blindness refers to the phenomenon that ______. A many people fail to notice the big change around them B people tend to ignore the small changes in the surroundings C people's choices can be easily interrupted by a big change D quite a few people do not have a good sense of directions 【正确答案】： A [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [线索词] Change blindness；the phenomenon [定位处] 第四段首句 [解析] 选[A]。该句提到，我们把这种现象称为“选择的盲点”，与“变化的盲点”相仿，后者是心理学家确认到的一个现象，指相当数量的人未能发现他们所在的环境中发生的某个大的变化。[A]many people fail to notice the big change around them是对文中修饰the phenomenon的定语从句where a remarkably large number of people fail to spot a major change in their environment的同义转述，而the phenomenon是对change blindness进行解释说明的同位语，故答案为[A]。[D]项是根据文中提到的问路的例子设的干扰项。 定语从句处设题。题干把文中对change blindness进行解释说明的同位语the phenomenon转化为宾语，并把where引导的定语从句转化为that引导的同位语从句。 第5题 What's people's tendency to do for their decisions? A Refusing to admit they made wrong decisions. B Trying to find reasons to explain the decisions. C Changing the decisions on second thoughts. D Seeking others' advice when making the decisions. 【正确答案】： B [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [线索词] people's tendency; for their decisions [定位处] 第六段首句 [解析] 该句提到，每个和别人进行过争论的人都知道，人们倾向于用详尽的理由来证明自己决定的正当性，而我们完全有理由相信那不过是事后的文过饰非。题干中的people's tendency与该句提到的people tend to对应，for their decisions是原文信息的重现，故tend to后面的give elaborate justifications for their decisions即为人们倾向的做法，[B]项中的find reasons to explain the decisions是对此倾向的同义转述，故答案为[B]。[A]项是针对该段末句设的干扰项。 非限制性定语从句处设题。题干将文中的动词tend转化为名词tendency。本题解题关键是正确理解elaborate justifications的含义。 第6题 What do researchers think is the drive for many everyday preferences? A The haste judgment. B The mechanism of self-feedback. C The interaction with others. D The expectation for the future. 【正确答案】： B [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [线索词] many everyday preferences [定位处] 第九段末句 [解析] 该句提到，这给了我们一个难得的机会，使我们得以看到自我反馈(“我选择了这个，我公布了我的选择，因此我必须喜欢它”)的复杂机制，我们猜测，这种自我反馈机制是许多日常偏好的形成原因。题干中的the drive for many everyday preferences是对该句提到的the formation of many everyday preferences的同义转述，[B]The mechanism of self-feedback.是对the complicated dynamics of self-feedback的同义转述，故答案为[B]。[A]The haste judgment.是针对该段首句提到的snap judgments设的干扰项。[C]和[D]是针对该段第二句设的干扰项。 非限制性定语从句处设题。本题需要正确理解the drive以及mechanism的含义，并与文中相关信息进行同义转化。 第7题 What do we learn about the boundaries of choice blindness? A The boundaries are impossible to be marked. B It occurs only when decisions are not important. C It could happen even in the significant events. D Brides won't have choice blindness in the weddings. 【正确答案】： C [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [线索词] the boundaries of choice blindness [定位处] 第十段 [解析] 该段都是围绕the boundaries of choice blindness展开，首先提到它应当不会发生在那些我们知道对我们的日常生活有重要意义的选择上，然后通过问句举例说明：在婚礼的圣坛上，有哪个新娘或者新郎会注意不到，自己的另一半被人调包了吗?最后用yet转折提到，我们早期的脸孔实验结果与这种荒唐的婚礼调包计之间，依然存在着广阔的空间，言外之意就是在一些诸如婚礼等重要事件中，the boundaries of choice blindness也可能发生，故答案为[C]。 转折处设题。本题需要结合反问句所举例子来理解be of great importance in everyday life与spouse-swapping之间的关系，并由ample territory来推测作者所要表达的真实意思。   第8题 In their latest tests researchers are investigating people's decisions in the fields of ______ with choice blindness. 【正确答案】： 答案:morals and politics [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [线索词] latest tests；decisions [定位处] 倒数第三段第二句 [解析] 空前的in the fields of表明，本空应填两个或两个以上表示领域名称的名词(短语)。题干中的latest tests是原文信息的重现，are investigating与该句提到的are exploring对应，with choice blindness与using choice blindness对应，decisions in the fields of...与moral and political decisions对应，故decisions的前置定语moral and political即为本题答案出处。因本空所填词作of的宾语，故将形容词moral and political转化为名词morals and politics。 定语从句处/转折处设题。本题解题的难点是根据空前的fields of将moral和political进行词性的转化。 第9题 From the quiz researchers find that most people are quite confident about their feelings in the ______. 【正确答案】： 答案:decision processes [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [线索词] quiz；most people [定位处] 倒数第二段首句和末句 [解析] 空前的the表明，本空应填名词(短语)。该段首句后半部分提到，我们还会测试一下他们决策过程中的信心，末句提到测试结果：80%到90%的人说他们相信自己会注意到有些事情不对劲。题干中的most people是对between 80 and 90 per cent of people的概括总结，are quite confident about是对that they believed they would have noticed something was wrong的概括总结，their feelings in与their beliefs about对应，故about后的decision processes即为本题答案。 数字处/并列处设题。本题把文中动词词性的quizzed转化为名词quiz，把测验内容和结果整合成一句话。解题关键是对末句进行概括总结。 第10题 The volunteers were surprised at the fact that in everyday decision-making, people's beliefs are often ______. 【正确答案】： 答案:overstated [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [线索词] surprised；in everyday decision-making [定位处] 末段前两句 [解析] 空前的people's beliefs are表明，本空应填一过去分词(短语)或形容词(短语)。题干中的The volunteers were surprised与首句提到的their surprise对应，in everyday decision-making是原文信息的重现，people's beliefs是对what we know的同义转述，故what we know前的谓语动词overstate即为本题答案的出处。因为题干将文中know的宾语提至主语位置，故将overstate改为过去分词形式overstated。 时间状语从句处/转折处设题。本题把文中的名词surprise转化为were surprised at动词短语，并用that引导的同位语从句对文中but后面的内容进行同义转述。 跟多试卷请访问《做题室》www.zuotishi.com
