[解析]本题意思:"Tito和shuttlewolth都攀登过珠穆朗玛峰。"文章没有涉及二人攀登珠穆朗玛峰的信息。因此答案为C。 19,A[解析]本题意思:"太空冒险公司有大约100名顾客等待去太空旅行。" 文章第4段第2句提到:"这家公司已有一百多人在等待飞往太空的名单上登记。"本句与文章内容相符，因此，答案为A。 20,B

Tito将永远留名。他是第一位太空游客。他解释道:"我在地球上度过了60年，在太空度过了8天。在我看来，这是两种完全不同的生活。"他热爱在太空的日子。"身处太空，回看地球是一个人所能拥有的最有价值的经历之一。" 这种经历可不便宜，花费了2000万美元。但是，Tito实现了他的梦想，因此他非常快乐。他告诉记者:"对我来说，这是一生的梦想。当我还没有钱时，这个梦想就产生了。" 2002年4月30日，Mark shuttlewoith成为世界第二位太空游客。Shuttleworth是一个南非商人。28岁的他为8天的太空旅行同样支付了2000万美元。 Tito和Shuttleworth都是在一家名叫太空冒险的公司购买的太空旅行票。这家公司已有一百多人在等待飞往太空的名单上登记，而携带他们的宇宙飞船还没出现。 这些顾客中的许多人都热爱冒险。他们也是那类想要攀登珠穆朗玛峰的人。另一些顾客则热爱太空。但是，这些人担心，因为太空旅行过于昂贵，只有非常富有的人才可能进入太空。 他们希望太空旅行能提供给更多的人。 这一天也许很快就会到来。太空轨道传送公司(IOS)计划一周送四位太空游客进入太空。旅行将从汤加群岛的一个岛屿出发。这家公司承诺，这个旅程包括在俄罗斯和加利福尼亚的45天的太空训练、7天的太空生活和在汤加群岛的度假，总共花费200万美元。 但是，太空旅行依然是非常危险的。Bill Reacldy是美国国家宇航局的航天副助理署长。他指出太空旅行的死亡几率是1,500。正是由于这点，也许太空旅行真正启程尚需进日。你也许能够飞上太空，但是，能下来吗? 第三部分:概括大意与完成句子 23,B [解析]本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。文章第2段所举的例子说"她被设臵为可以理解你所说的话。网站的访问者可以和她谈话，Ramona也跳舞唱歌"。因此本题答案"计算机能够交流"概括了本段大意。 24,F[解析]本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。文章第三段主要阐 述的是视觉机器，如"这机器像一个朋友一样，能够描述在有形世界里正在发生 的事情……该传感器将向佩戴者描述它看到的一切"。因此本题答案"一双新眼睛 "概括了本段大意。 25,A[解析]本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。文章第四段主要 阐述的是听觉机器，因此本题答案"一双新耳朵"概括了本段大意。 26,C [解析]本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。文章第五段主要 谈到"我们将能把所有意识下载到电脑里……就意味着我们的头脑能够永远活下 去"。因此本题答案"计算机上永恒的意识"概括了本段大意。 27,E [解析]本题考查的是对文章的事实与细节的了解。本题题干信息为"Ray Kurzweil研究计算机帮助人们……"文章第3段和第4段提到"Kurzweil uses this tecIlnology to helppeople with physical disabilities"和"Another idea，which is likely to help deaf people"。因此本题答案"有残疾的人"符合文章内容。 28,A [解析]本题考查的是对文章的事实与细节的了解。本题题干信息为 "Ramona能够理解……"文章第2段提到"who is programmeri to understand what you say"。因此本题答案"你所说的话"符合文章内容。 29.B[解析]本题考查的是对文章的事实与细节的了解。本题题干信息为"盲人 能够通过……看到世界"。文章第3段提到"Blind people will use a visual sensor which will probablybe built into a pair of sunglasses"。因此本题答案"一副墨镜"符合文章内 容。 30,C[解析]本题考查的是对文章的事实与细节的了解。本题题干信息为"没 有听力问题的人也有兴趣使用……"文章第4段提到"The listening machine will also be able to translate into other languages，so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in usingit"。因此本题答案"听觉机器"符合文章内容。 参考译文 智能机器 医学科学家已经通过把计算机芯片直接放入大脑来帮助那些患有帕金森病的人，但计算机技术在其他方面又能够帮助我们什么呢?Ray Kurzweil是《智能机器时代》这本成功的 书 关于书的成语关于读书的排比句社区图书漂流公约怎么写关于读书的小报汉书pdf 的作者，同时也是世界上最好的计算机研究科学家。他正在研究计算机技术所能带来的可能性。 Kurzwel让计算机来识别声音。这方面的一个例子是Ramona，Kurzweil网站首页的虚拟女主持人，她被设臵为可以理解你所说的话。网站的访问者可以和她谈话，Ramona也跳舞唱歌。 Kurzweil用计算机技术来帮助有生理残疾的人。他的一个构思是"视觉机器"。这机器"像一个朋友一样，能够描述在有形世界里正在发生的事情"，他解释道。盲人将使用一种视觉探测器，它可能会被制造进墨镜里。该传感器将向佩戴者描述它看到的一切。 另一个构思是"听觉机器"，可能会帮助聋人。这项发明将识别数百万词汇和理解任何人说的话。听觉机器也能将话语翻译成其他语言，因此即使没有听觉问题的人也可能会对使用它感兴趣。 但计算机不仅仅是帮助残障人士。展望更远的将来，Kurzweil看到这样的时 代，我们将能把所有意识下载到电脑里。这项技术很可能至少50年后才会完成，但当它成功之时，就这意味着我们的头脑能够永远活下去。 第四部分:阅读理解 第1篇 31,D [解析]本题是细节题。文章第2段提到:"她是进入Vendee Globe单人环球帆船比赛的仅有的两个女选手之一"，"尽管遇到了许多困难，在24名参赛的选手中她获得了第二名"。D选项与文章内容相符，因此，答案为D。 32,B [解析]本题依然是细节考查题。文章第3段第2句指出:"她在一个棚屋里住了3年，期间她一直在为获得资助去参加横渡大西洋的帆船比赛而努力"选项B中短语get financial support for a race与文章中短语get sponsorship to compete in a trapasatlantic race同义。 因此，答案为B。 33,D [解析]本题为词汇辨析题。solo:唯一的,单独的。例如:The solo $urvivor of thecrash was a liffle bahy,这次撞车的唯一幸存者是一个婴儿。single-handed:单人完成的,独自。 例如:a single-handed voyage across the Atlantic,横渡大西洋的单人航行。 34,B [解析]本题是细节判断题。通过仔细阅读文章第4段，可以判断选项B"她必须是自己的教师"没有在这一段出现。因此，这个选项不符合文章内容。B是本题的答案所在。 35,C [解析]本题是阅读能力推断题。文章最后一段记述了Ellen当时的心情。"随着美丽的日出，一天开始了，灿烂的阳光给黑压压的云彩涂上光辉，心情非 常快乐。在大海上有这样生活的机会，我感到很聿运"清楚地表现出Ellen快乐的心情。因此，答案选择C。 参考译文 孤独的英国水手 8岁时，Ellen MacArthur开始驾驶帆船与姑姑一起出海航行。她非常喜爱航海以至于攒了三年的钱购臵了她的第一只小帆船。18岁时，她独自驾驶帆船围绕英国航行并赢得了"年度青年水手"的称号。 但是Ellen真正成名是在2001年。尽管只有24岁，但她是进入Vendee Globe单人环球帆船比赛的仅有的两个女选手之一。比赛进行了100天。尽管遇到了许多困难，她仍在24名参赛的选手中获得了第2名。回来时，她受到了非常热情的欢迎。 雄心和决心一直是Ellen个性的重要部分。当她很小的时候，她在一个棚屋里住了3年，期间她一直在为获得资助去参加横渡大西洋的帆船比赛而努力。之后她购买了去法国的单程机票，购臵了一个小小的7米级小型帆船，当修理帆船时，她就睡在船下。1997年，她独自驾驶帆船用了33天横渡大西洋，行驶了4000公里。 Ellen必须学习许多东西，因为独自航行意味着，自己要成为船长、电工、帆船修理工、工程师、医生、记者、摄影师和厨师。同时她还必须非常健康，因为在海上，长时间的睡觉是危险的，她已经训练自己一次仅睡20分钟。 同时她必须充满勇气。一次，凌晨4点，在海上迎着每小时100公里的风速， 她不得不爬上桅杆修理船帆。她花费了数小时修理。Ellen说:"下来时，我筋疲力尽了。难以描述那时的感觉。就像要抓住一个巨大的杆子，对我来说它太粗了，用胳膊不可能抱住。似乎有人一直在踢你并试图把你摇下去。" 但是，在日记中，Ellen也记述所有值得度过的时刻。"随着美丽的日出，一天开始了，灿烂的阳光给黑压压的云彩涂上光辉，心情非常快乐。在大海上有这样生活的机会，我感到很幸运。" 第2篇 36,C [解析]从文章第1段第1句及接下来叙述一间房学校历史的句子可以看出一间房学校对几代美国人产生了影响。其他选项离题意太远，因此选项C最合适。 37,A[解析]文章第1段说近几十年来一间房学校数量骤减，孩子们都被送到centralized schools去了。只有选项A与题意最相关，其他选项文中根本没有涉及。 38,A[解析]文章第2段提到一间房学校的几个特点，其中有这样一句:A fourth graelerearl work at a fifth-graele level in math anel a third-grade level in English without the stigma assoeiated with being left baek or the pressures of being skipped ahead.(一个四 年级 六年级体育公开课教案九年级家长会课件PPT下载六年级家长会PPT课件一年级上册汉语拼音练习题六年级上册道德与法治课件 的学生可以做五年级的数学，三年级的英文，他不会因为被甩到后面而丢脸，或是因为被超过而感到有压力。这句话与选项A相符合(即不限制在一个年级水平上)。 39,A[解析]文章第2段对一间房学校特点的描述是积极的、肯定的，例如末段有这样一句，A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separatedfrom the other pupils。由此可知父母不喜欢另外一种模式即 centralized school。 40,D [解析]最后一句话总结出，许多父母认为在内布拉斯加州生活的好处之一是孩子必须上一间房学校，因此可以推断出作者对一间房学校持赞扬的态度。 参考译文 一间房学校 一间房学校是美国遗产的一部分，当提及它的时候，人们对它的感觉是久远而模糊的。然而，一间房学校也是一个濒临灭绝的物种。100多年来，一间房学校被系统地关闭，学校里的学生被送往中心学校读书。在1930年，美国有149000所一间房学校。到1970年，还有1800所。而如今只剩下了将近800所，其中有350所以上在内布拉斯加州。其余的从线路图上看散布在城镇之间有广阔的开阔地的其他几个州。 既然没剩下几所一间房学校，教育家们开始思考，也许从一间房学校可以学到一些以前为开拓者服务，而同样也可以为我们服务的东西。进步教育者想出了一些听起来很先进的名字，如"同龄组教学"和"多年龄分组"，而这些在一间房学校是自然遵循的教学步骤。在一间房学校，孩子们能够相互教学,因为他们的老师一部分时间忙着教其他的学生。一个四年级的学生可以做五年级的数学，三年级的英文，他不会因为被甩到后面而丢脸，或是因为被超过而感到有压力。学习能力有障碍的孩子能够和正常的孩子在一块儿学习，找到他或她自己的位臵，而不是给他们开设专门的学校，如今，在城市和郊区的一些大的学校里，这种现象被称作"主流化"。在一所小小的一间房学校逗留了几个小时，我便清楚了为什么 如此多的家长觉得住在内布拉斯加的好处之一就是:他们的孩子必须去一间房学校读书。 第3篇 41,C [解析]前文提到科学家们不可能观察每一个地方的气候变化的现象，所以邀请普通人为他们观察、收集信息。 42,B [解析]根据"send their observations to giant database to be observed by professional scientists"可知。 43,B[解析]根据后文"a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and sentl itin",可见就是对citizen scientist的描述。 44,A[解析]文章全文都在说普通人参与科学研究的项目，因此，只有A选项不符合。其他选项都能在文中找到。 45,D [解析]问题为"final purpose"，所以选D。 参考译文: 平民科学家 理解大自然对气候变化有怎样的反应需要监视世界各个角落的关键生命周期事件--花朵的绽放、叶子的出现、第一只青蛙叫出春天的到来。但是生态学家不可能到世界的各个角落，所以他们向非科学家求助，这些非科学家有时也被称作平民科学家。 气象科学家不可能足迹遍及天下。因为在世界上有如此多的地方，并且又没有足够的科学家来一一观察它们。所以他们请求你来帮助观察全世界气候变化的 迹象。平民科学家运动鼓励普通人根据自己的兴趣来观察某一个特定的方面--鸟儿、树木、花朵打苞等等，并把他们的观察结果发送到一个巨大的数据库来供专业科学家研究。这有助于数量有限的科学家得到如果只靠他们自己根本收集不到的海量数据。就像平民记者帮助报道传统新闻报道方式所忽略的小型社区的相关信息一样，平民科学家也对他们所居住的环境很熟悉。要成为一名平民科学家，所要做的仅仅是每天或每周抽出几分钟来搜集数据并发送过来。 一群科学家和教育家在去年发起了一个叫做网络国家物候学的组织。"物候学"就是科学家们所说的在自然中研究每个事件的时间。 其中一个小组的首要尝试就是依靠科学家和非科学家来收集关于每年植物开花和长叶的数据。这一项目叫做花季追踪计划，它收集遍布美国的各种各样的植物生长周期的数据。参与这一项目的人们--这一计划对所有人开放--把他们的观察结果记录在花季追踪计划网站上。 "人们不需要成为植物学家--他们仅仅需要环视四周，看看周围有什么"，这项计划的一位教育顾问Jel'Illifer sc}1wartz说:"通过收集数据，我们就能够估算出气候变化对植物和生物群落会有怎样的影响。" 第五部分:补全短文 46,B [解析]该空格的前一句是"architects are trying to preclict(the houses of the future)"，从第2段起是对未来房子的描述。此处填"what will our home be like then?" 最为合适，起到承上启下的作用。 47,E [解析]根据第2段内容，可以看出此处需要填的内容和"families grow aldchange with children arriving growing up anclleaving home"有关，因此选E"The house of the future will llave to grow and change with the family"。 48,C[解析]第3段讲未来的厨房是智能的，我们可以和厨房里的机器交谈， 因此选C"And the machine will tell us that food we will have to buy and how to cook it"。 49,D [解析]这一段讲房子可以自己改变颜色，所以选项D"You will be able to claangethe color of the wall easily"是正确答案。 50,A [解析]选项F"The kid might take tlaeir bedrooms with them as tlaey leave" 放在此处显得唐突，因为文章没有对卧室进行描写。而选项A"The only thing you won't be able to do ismove the llouse somewlaere else"是对未来房子整体上的描述， 适合做文章的结尾。 参考译文 未来的房子 30年后的房子会是什么样的?没有人确切知道，但是建筑师正在试图预测。 那么我们的房子将会是什么样的呢? 未来的房子要灵活。30年后，我们更多的人会在家里办公。所以在一天中的 一部分时间，我们必须能够使用房子的一部分办公，其余时间用于生活。随着孩 子的出生、成长和离开家，家庭也会随之发展、变化。未来的房子要能和家庭一 起发展、变化。没有什么会像现在一样固定下来。房子将总是在变化，以满足不 同需求。 每个人都同意，再过30年我们将生活在"智能"房子中。我们将能够跟我们厨 房里的机器交谈，和它们讨论做什么饭。像这样，"我们要在周末举行晚会，做什么食物好?"机器就会告诉我们该买什么食物以及怎样做。我们可以把大部分的烹饪工作交给机器，只用不时地品尝，来检查食物就可以了。 未来的房屋将是个人的，每个房子都不相同。你可以轻而易举地改变墙的颜色。你不必去粉刷它们，你可以告诉墙，让它自己改变颜色!如果第二天你不喜欢这颜色了，你可以再换一个新颜色。你唯一不能做的是把房子搬到其他地方去! 第六部分:完形填空 51,C [解析]call on号召，拜访,get on进展,take on穿上，承担。根据前文和空格句，"任何国家的'生活标准'都是指人均享有的这个国家生产的商品和服务。因此一个国家的生活标准，首先依赖于它能生产财富的能力"，空格与其后面介词on构成depencl on短语，符合语意和搭配习惯。因此C是答案。 52,A [解析]空格所在句子说"财富在这里不是指金钱"。in this sense是"在这里的意义"，因此A是答案。相关短语in some sense指在某种意义上,在某种程度上。 53,B [解析]distribute分配，分布,contain包含，包括。空格所在句子说"一个国家生产财富的能力依赖许多因素"，空格处需要一个动词，只有答案produce为生产之意，因此B为答案。 54,D[解析]空格处需要一个定语从句的引导词，因此只能在that和which之间选择。因为空格前出现了介词of，因此排除that，只能选which。 55,B [解析]空格所在句子说"财富在很大程度上依赖一个国家的自然资源"。 to agreat extent在很大程度上。因此B为答案。 56,B [解析]eontriIrote贡献，attract吸引。空格所在句子"另外一些区域却一个也没有"，只有答案possess指拥有。 57,C [解析]空格所在句子说"除了自然资源就属利用自然资源的能力了"。空格处是动词，只有答案turn符合语意。因此C是答案。 58,D[解析]借助空格所在的语意"但遭受多年内部和外部的战争"，判断空格处需要 一个能与suffer搭配的介词。suffer from构成固定搭配。因此答案为D。 59,A [解析]空格所在句子说"以及这样或那样的原因不能开发它本身的资源"。根 据上下文判断空格处的语意为"原因"，因此判断A为答案。 60,A [解析]freedom自由，免除,liheration解放，释放,prevention阻碍，妨碍,govern ment政府。空格所在的句子说"健全而稳定的政治条件和免受外国的侵略，使一个国家能够 和平稳定地开发它的自然资源"。因此freedom为答案。 61,A [解析]空格所在的句子说"并且比另外同样受到大自然青睐但社会相对无序的国家生产更多的财富"。判断空格处为"财富"，因此选A。 62,D[解析]provide提供，create创造。空格所在的句子论述到"一个国家的生活水平不只依赖于自己国内生产和消耗的财富"。判断空格处为"消耗"，因此D是答案。 63,C [解析]organization组织，机构，团体,resoirce资源,labor劳动。空格所在的句子说"英国的食品和农产品会很少"。判断空格处为"产品"，因此选C。 64,B[解析]空格处是关系代词，引导定语从句，在定语从句中作主语，因此 B是答案。 65,D [解析]based基于，realized已实现，supposed假定的。空格所在的句子说"因此，一个国家的财富更多受它的制造能力的影响，假如能够发现其他国家准备好要接受其产品的话"，判断需要表示条件的引导词，只有provided符合。 参考译文 一个国家的生活水平 任何国家的"生活水平"都是指人均享有的这个国家生产的商品和服务。因此一个国家的生活标准，首先依赖于它生产财富的能力。"财富"在这里指的不是金钱，因为我们不是靠钱，而是靠用钱能买到的东西生活:比如食物和衣服之类的"商品"和比如交通和娱乐之类的"服务"。 一个国家生产财富的能力依赖许多因素，大多数因素彼此相互影响。财富在很大程度上依赖于一个国家的自然资源。世界上的一些地区有丰富的煤和矿物，以及肥沃的土壤和有利的气候,另外一些地区却啥也没有。 除了自然资源就属利用自然资源的能力了。中国的自然资源或许能和美国相媲关，但由于遭受多年内部和外部的战争，以及这样或那样的原因而不能开发本身拥有的资源。健全而稳定的政治条件和免受外国的侵略，使一个国家能够和平稳定地开发它的自然资源，并且比另外同样受到大自然青睐但社会相对无序的国家生产更多的财富。 一个国家的生活水平不只依赖于自己国内生产和消耗的财富，还依赖于国际贸易直接产生的财富。举例来说，如果英国只依赖国内生产，其食品和农产品就 会很少，贸易使英国过剩的成品出售到国外换取本国缺乏的农产品成为可能。因此，一个国家的财富更多受它的制造能力的影响，假如能够发现其他国家准备好要接受其产品的话。 试题二 第1部分:词汇选项 (第1,15题，每题1分，共15分)

The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being, The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes，health，unemployment，climate， political stability, job security, gender equality as well as what the magazine calls‚freedom，family and community life?, Despite the bad weather, troubled health service，traffic congestion(拥挤)，gender inequality, and the high cost of living,Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10, That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland，which managed 8.07,Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger，is rated the gloomiest(最差的)，picking up only 3. 89points. ‚Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued，?the report said,‚some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown(崩溃)in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact,? ‚Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old，such as stable family and community 1ife.? The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its findings would have their critics. No.2 on the list is Switzerland,The other nations in the top 10 are Norway， Luxembourg， Sweden，Australia，Iceland，Italy，Denmark and Spain, The UK is positioned at No.29，a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics,The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP(人均国内生产总值)after Luxembourg，took the 13th place in the survey,China was in the lower half of the league at 60th, 16 For 2,005 years，Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in.

Estee Lauder died at her home in Manhattan，New York City，a company spokeswoman said,She was 97. 2 Born in Queens, New York in 1908, Lauder was the daughter of a Hungarian mother and a Czech father, 3 Lauder began her business career by selling skincare products developed by her uncle John Schotz，a chemist，to beauty salons(美容院)and hotels. In 1930，she married Joseph Lauder who became her partner. The company, which became known as Estee Lauder，took off after World War II, 4 In 1953，the company introduced its first perfume(香水)，Youth Dew，the first of a range of fragrances that has now grown to more than 70,They include:Aramis，a line of products for men，launched in 1964,and Clinique，a range of odourless(无嗅 的)cosmetics, which followed in 1968. 5 By the time she retired in 1995，Lauder was presiding over a multibillion-dollar enterprise, which now ranks number 349 in the Fortune 500 list of largest US companies,In 1998, she was the only woman to feature in Time magazine’s selection of the 20 most important business geniuses of the last century,There were two secrets to her success: her gift for selling things and her tireless energy and determination never to accept second best. 6 Even after her retirement at the age of 89，Lauder remained closely involved,Beauty, Lauder believed，was the most important thing in life, 7 She wrote in her 1985 autobiography,‚Estee，a Success Story?:‚In a perfect world, we’d all be judged on the sweetness of our souls .

The government has since banned a11 ferries and other boats from travelling at night during the April-May stormy season. One of the ferries, MV Mitali，was carrying far more people than it was supposed to,About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300，police said The second ferry carried about 100 passengers, ‚The number of deaths is certain to rise,?said an official in charge of the rescue work.‚No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived,? Ferries in Bangladesh don’t always keep passenger lists，making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board. Besides the ferry accidents，at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes, falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats, Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh, as are boating accidents,Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people, Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions. Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh,It is a country covered by about 230 rivers,Some 20,000 ferries use the nation’s waterways(水路)every year,And many of them are dangerously overcrowded(过度拥挤), Since1977, more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents, 31 How many people have been found dead in the two ferry disasters? A More than 130. B Over 3,000, C About400, D At least 40. 32 The two ferry disasters occurred A at noon, B in the morning. C at night, D in the afternoon, 33 How many passengers was MV Mitali designed to carry? A 440, B 100. C 400. D 300, 34 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the boating accidents? A Strong winds, B Bad weather conditions, C Blockage of waterways, D Lack of safety measures. 35 Which of the following statements is NOT true of the two ferry disasters? A They traveled during the April-May stormy season. B They sank on April 21. C The exact number of deaths could be easily determined, D They sank somewhere near Dhaka, 第二篇 Saving Money Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for,If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert，then probably keep your money somewhere in your room, If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money? One place to save money is the bank,Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money,If you put your money in a piggy bank(猪形储蓄 罐)，one year later you’ll still have the same amount of money you put in,If you put your money in a savings account，one year later，you’ll have more money than you put in,Why? When you keep your money in a bank，your money earns interest,Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money(and the money of other people，too)to loan money to people and businesses, The bank will send you a statement several times a year,A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account，It also tells you how much interest you have earned,If you leave your money in the bank，you can watch it grow! Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you don’t need to use for a long time，this is a good way to make your money grow, You can buy a CD at a bank,You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time, That period might be from six months to five years You can’t touch your money during that time. If you do，you must pay a penalty，or fee. Since the bank is using your money for that time period，it will pay you interest,You will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account,Can you guess why? It’s because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time. Banks pay different rates of interest. So, you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before buying a CD, 36 Which way will help your money earn more money? A Putting your money in your room. B Putting your money in a piggy bank. C Putting your money in your pocket, D Putting your money in a savings account, 37 Interest is the amount of money which A a bank lends to people, B a bank loans to businesses, C a bank pays you, D a bank uses. 38 A bank statement tells you A the amount of money you have in the bank, B the current rates of interest, C the current rates of exchange, D the best way to save your money, 39 If you draw your money before it is due, A you have to pay interest to the bank, B you have to close your account C you have to open a new account, D you have to pay a penalty or fee, 40 The word ‚touch? in paragraph 7 could be best replaced by A ‚deposit?. B ‚borrow?, C ‚use?, D ‚cash?, 第三篇 Two People，Two Paths You must be familiar with the situation:Dad’s driving，Mum’s telling him where to go,He’s sure that they need to turn left But she says it’s not for another two blocks,Who has the better sense of direction? Men or women. They both do, a new study says,but in different ways, Men and women,Canadian researchers have found，have different methods of finding their way,Men look quickly at landmarks(地标)and head off in what they think is the right direction, Women, however, try to picture the whole route in detail and then follow the path in their head, ‚women tend to be more detailed,?said Edward Cornell,who led the study,‚while men tend to be a little bit faster and …a little bit more intuitive(直觉感知的),? In fact, said Cornell,‚sense of direction?isn’t one skill but two, The first is the‚survey method?.This is when you see all area from above, such as a printed map,Y0u can see，for example，where the hospital is，where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right, The second skill is the‚route method?This is when you use a series of directions,You start from the hospital，then turn left，turn fight，go uphill——and then you see the supermarket, Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions, Both work, and neither is better, Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history. They argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles. In ancient times，young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt,The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places,The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks—the mountains, the lakes and so on, The women，on the other hand，took young girls out to find fruits and plants,These activities were much closer to home but required learning well-used paths,So, women’s sense of space was based on learning certain routes, 41 When finding his way, Dad tends to rely on A his intuitive knowledge. B his book knowledge, C Mum’s assistance. D the police’s assistance, 42 Women are more likely to use A the survey method. B the traditional method, C the route method. D the right method. 43 Which works better，the route method or the survey method? A The survey method, B The route method, C Either, D Neither, 44 Which of the following is NOT a landmark? A A long river, B A high mountain, C A magnificent church, D A path in your head, 45 Women developed a sense of space out of the need A to go fishing, B to go hunting. C to learn well-used paths, D to go swimming. 第5部分:补全短文 (第46,50题，每题2分，共10分) 阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后面有6组文字，请根据文章的内 容选择5组文字，将其分别放回文章原有位臵，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在 答题卡相应的位臵上。 Caribbean Islands What would you see if you took a cruise to the Caribbean Islands?

Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise,Some want to keep thedoors open,They need the labor,About 400，000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005，according to the Canadian Government statistics,However，all this growth means that cities need toadapt,New comers don't always make a smooth transition into jobs for which they are skilled,So industries are using

andItaly,High up on a mountain pass，they found the body of a man lying on the ice,At that height(10，499 feet，or 3，200 meters)，the ice is usually permanent，but 1991 had been an especiallywarm year,The mountain ice had melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface, It was lying face downward,The skeleton(骨架)was in perfect condition，except for a woundin the head,There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes,The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots, Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark(树皮)and a holder for arrows, Who was this man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to thesequestions,Some people thought that it was from this century，perhaps the body of a soldier who diedin World War 1，since several soldiers had already been found in the area,A Swiss woman believedit might be her father，who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body hadnever been found,The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older，maybe even a thousand years old, With modern dating techniques，the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old,Born in about 3300 B,C,，he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe,At first scientiststhought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains,More recent evidence，however，tells a different story,A new kind of X-rav shows an arrowhcad still stuck in his shoulder,It left only a tiny hole in his skin，but it caused internal damage and bleeding,He a1,most certainly died from this wound，and not from the wound on the back of his head,This meansthat he was probabb,in some kind of a battle,It may have been part of a larger war。or he may havebeen fighting bandits,He may even have been a bandit himself, By studying his clothes and tools，scientists have already learned a great deal from the Icemanabout the times he lived in,we may never know the full story of how he died， but he has give Us im,portant clues to the history of those distant times, 36,The body of the Iceman was found in the mountains mainly because_________, A,he was lying on the ice B,he was just on a mountain pass C,the melted iee made him visible D,two Germans were climbing the mountains 37,What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A,The Iceman lived a poor life, B,The Iceman could have died from the wound in the head, C,The Iceman was struck dead from behind, D,The Iceman was killed while working 38,All the following are assumptions once made about the Iceman EXCEPT_________, A,he was a soldier in World War 1 B,he was a Swiss woman's long-lost father C,he was born about a thousand years ago D,he came from Italy 39,The scientists made the deduction that the Iceman_________, A,was probably in some kind of a battle B,had got a wound on the back of his head C,had a tiny hole in his skin causing his death D,was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead 40,The word"bandits"in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by_________, A,hunters B,shooters C,robbers D,soldiers 第3篇 Britain's Solo Sailor Ellen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight，going out on sailing trips with her aunt, She loved it so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat,When she was 18,she sailed alone around Britain and won the"Young Sailor of the Year"award, But Ellen really became famous in 2001,Aged only 24，she was one of only two women who entered the Vendee Globe round the world solo race，which lasts 100 days,Despite many problems，she came second in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned, Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen's personality,When she wasyounger，she lived in a kind of hut(棚屋)for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship tocompete in a transatlantic race,Then she took a one-way ticked to France，bought a tiny seven meter class mini yacht，slept under it while she was repairing it，and then she raced it 4，000 kilometers across the Atlantic in 1997， alone for 33 days, Ellen has had to learn many things，because sailing single-handed means that she has to beher own captain，electrician，sail maker，engineer，doctor，journalist，cameraman and cook,She also has to be very fit，and because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time she' in themiddle of the ocean，she has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time, And she needs courage,Once，In the middle of the ocean，she had to climb the mast(桅杆)of a boat to repair the sails-at four o'clock in the morning，with 100 kph winds blowing around her,It took her many hours to make the repairs,Ellen says。"1 was exhausted when I came down,It'shard to describe how it feels to be up there,It's like trying to hold onto a big pole，which for me isjust too big to get my alTOS around， with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shakeyou off," But in her diary，Ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile(值得 的):"Abeautiful sunrise started the day，with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun,I have a verystrong feeling of pleasure，being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this,I just feellucky to be here," 41,In the Vendee Globe race，Ellen won________, A,a gold medal B,the"Best Women Sailor"award C,the second place D,the"Young Sailor of the Year"award 42,Ellen lived in a kind of hut for three years___________, A,because she was interested in country life B,because she was ambitious for the coming race C,while she was learning how to repair sails D,while she was trying to get financial support for a race 43,The word"solo"in the title could be best replaced by___________, A,self-starter B,single-handed C,one performer D,seIf-made 44,According to paragraph 4，which of the following statements is NOT true?

18,C[解析]"蒂托和沙特尔沃思都攀登过珠穆朗玛峰。"文章第4段第1句指出:"蒂托和沙特尔沃思都是在一家称作太空探险的公司购买的太空旅行票。"而没有涉及攀登珠穆朗玛峰的信息。因此答案为C。 19,A[解析]"太空探险公司有大约100名顾客等待去太空旅行。"文章第4段第2句提到:"这家公司已有一百多人在等待飞往太空的名单上登记。"本句与文章内容相符，因此，答案为A。 20,B [解析]"太空探险公司已经拥有一架宇宙飞船。"文章第4段最后指出:"而携带他们的宇宙飞船目前并不存在。"因此，答案为B。 21,A[解析]"太空轨道传送公司将从汤加群岛送它的游客加入太空。"文章第6段谈到了太空轨道传送公司的计划并指出太空旅行将从汤加群岛的一个岛屿出发，因此答案为A。 22,A [解析]"贝尔〃瑞迪认为太空航行是非常危险的。"文章最后一段提到贝尔〃瑞迪指出太空旅行的死亡机遇是五百分之一。本题与文章内容相符。答案为A。 参考译文 造访太空 美国百万富翁丹尼斯〃蒂托将永远闻名于世，因为他是第一位太空游客。他解释道:"我在地球上度过了六十年，而在太空度过了八天。在我看来，这是两种完全不同的生活。"他热爱在太空的日子。"身处太空回看地球是一个人所能拥有的最有价值的经历之一。" 这种经历是昂贵的，他花费了2000万美元。但是，蒂托实现了他的梦想，因此非常快乐。他告诉记者:"对我来说，这是一生的梦想。当我还没有钱时，这个梦想就产生了。" 2002年4月30日，马克〃沙特尔沃思成为世界第二位太空游客。沙特尔沃思是一个南非商人。二十八岁的他为八天的太空旅行同样支付了2000万美元。 蒂托和沙特尔沃思都是在一家称作太空探险的公司购买的太空旅行票。这家公司已有一百多人在等待飞往太空的名单上登记，而将要携带他们的宇宙飞船目前并不存在。 这些顾客中的许多人喜爱探险。他们也是那类想要攀登珠穆朗玛峰的人。另一些人则喜欢太空。但是，这些人担心，因为太空旅行过于昂贵，只有非常富有的人才可能加入太空。他们希望太空旅行应提供给更多的人。 这一天也许很快到来。太空轨道传送公司(IOS)计划一周送四位太空游客进入太空。旅程将从汤加群岛的一个岛屿出发。这家公司承诺这个旅程包括在俄罗斯和加利福尼亚的四十五天的太空训练，七天的太空生活和在汤加群岛的度假，花费为两百万美元。 但是，太空旅行依然是非常危险的。贝尔〃瑞迪是美国国家航空航天局副助理署长。他指出，太空旅行的死亡机遇是五百分之一。正是由于这点，在太空旅行出发之前，要花费很多时间。你也许能够飞入太空，但是，能下来吗? 第三部分:概括大意与完成句子 23,C [解析]该段讲到他们因为参加一场销售比赛，从而使出售农产品成为农场的另一个主业。所以题目应该是C，替代耕种的另外一种方法。 24,B [解析]该段讲到因为参与农场商店的竞赛而得到国家农场协会的认可，于是克拉拉除了自家农场种的食物和本地出产的农产品外，还开设了一家小咖啡馆顺便出售自己的农产品，农场的经营越来越专业，并得到行业的认可。 25,E[解析]克拉拉的经营之道是为顾客提供最优质的服务，所以题目应为E，继续高标准的投资。 26,F[解析]克拉拉夫妇俩把那些不适合在商店出售的畸形的或是被弄坏的剩余蔬菜做成蔬菜汤，因此该段题目应该是确保没有浪费。 27,A[解析]文章第一段提到他们在农场建了一个商店，"'people could come and buyfresh'vegetables directl'y from them,"他们可以直接购买新鲜蔬菜了。 28,C [解析]第2段的第l句"…in addition t0 a range of}lome-grown foods and other local procluce，she began offering a variety of preparecl meals"提供了答案。 29,D [解析]第3段第l句"…not wishing to see tlaem get tlarown away，decided t0 turnthem into soup"提供了答案。 30,B [解析]最后一段第2句说到她夏天的大部分时间乘坐火车沿着伦敦来回旅行，以展示自己的蔬菜汤，所以应该选C，销售尽量多的产品。 参考译文 俭以防匮 鲍勃和克拉拉在英格兰北部经营着一个农场，他们一直在寻找从他们种植的植物中赚钱的方法。当他们在农场开设了一个商店后，由此人们能够直接从这里购买到新鲜的蔬菜，他们的成功也接踵而来。 经营很快成功了，不久在国家农场零售协会评选最好的农场商店的竞赛中，他们赢得了最高分。协会的观察员发现克拉拉的商店不仅提供质优价廉的水果和蔬菜，而且提供优质的服务。 克拉拉是一个训练有素的厨师，加之拥有种类众多的自己农场种植产品和其他当地产品，她开始在农舍厨房里提供各种各样她自己烹调的菜肴。不久一个小咖啡馆出现在农场商店旁边。游客在菜单中能够看到的所有菜肴商店里都有出售。 克拉拉承认创业是昂贵的，而且她一直艰辛工作着。但是，如果产品好，公众承认并购买那就能维持下去。"无论他们是来买一片面包还是办理整个宴会，我的目标是给顾客提供最优质的服务。如果顾客把菜肴带回去与家人和朋友分 享，并当作是自己烹制的，我会视此为对我工作的赞赏。" 同时，这对夫妇意识到农场的那些畸形的或是碰伤的剩余蔬菜不适合在商店出售。克拉拉不愿意看到它们被浪费掉，于是决定把它们做成汤。 这种汤很快受到客户的青睐。克拉拉现在提供十个不同种类的汤。她夏天的大部分时间乘坐火车沿着伦敦来回旅行，以展示自己做的蔬菜汤。结果，现在这些汤上了三家公司旗下的一流铁路餐厅的餐桌，一些伦敦高级商店也有它的存货。 第四部分:阅读理解 第1篇 31,C [解析]"2006年在美国移民涌入街道，他们要求受到怎样的对待?"答案可以从第1段的第2句话中找到。这句话说的是:许多移民举着标语和美国国旗，要求按公民而不是罪犯对待。 32,C [解析]"第l段中的短语'munding up'由哪个词替换最合适?"round up的意思是"逮捕，捕捉"，C项中的"arrest"有"捕捉"的含义，因此正确。 33,B[解析]"加拿大不严格限制移民申请的原因是什么?"答案可以从第2段中找到。前三句话是这么说的:加拿大官员说移民申请继续高涨。一些官员想开启移民之门，因为他们需要劳动力。 34,A [解析]"为了解决移民问题，西班牙政府已经决定___________。"答案可以从第3段中找到。第1句话是这么说的，随着大批无证的非洲移民来到加那利群岛，并且没有表明有减弱的迹象，西班牙政府决定采取严厉的措施。 35,D [解析]"法国的新的移民和融入法案生效后，会发生_______。"答案可以从最后一段的最后一句中找到。这句话是这么说的:但是有些人担心，这个法案会导致发展中国家的人才流失。 参考译文 移民问题 2006年初，成千上万的支持移民权利的人们纷纷涌上美国的街头，他们打着标语，挥舞着国旗，要求被当作公民而非罪犯对待。他们中大部分人都支持参议员麦凯恩的立法。这个立法会为那些已经非法进入这个国家的移民指明一条取得公民身份的道路。而其他议员的提案则呼吁采取更为严厉的措施--包括将他们逮捕并记录在案或把他们遣送回国。 加拿大政府称移民申请数量保持增长势头。有些人希望自家国门敞开，因为他们需要劳动力。据加官方数据显示，在2005年，大约有四十万人移民加拿大。然而，这些增长意味着城市需要使用这些移民。新来的移民在向他们擅长的工作领域过渡时也并非一帆风顺，因此，许多工业企业采用培训项目帮助他们找到合适的工作。 随着大批的无证非洲移民来到加那利群岛，并且没有减弱的迹象，西班牙政府决定采取严厉的措施。政府宣布，对非法移民的大赦将不复存在，并且任何未获许可进入西班牙的人将一律被遣送回国。2006年，大约两万三千移民抵达群岛，一些拥挤的接待中心发生了暴乱。这些都促使当地政府向联合国需求帮助。 法国新的移民和融入法案给予政府新的权利，以鼓励具有高技术的人才移民法国。这项法案于2007年生效。根据新法案，政府可以限定哪些是法国人才短缺 的行业，然后帮助有关雇主寻找具备他们需要的技术或资格的移民。这项外来的雇员将获得"技术与人才"的签证，有效期为三年。但是这些人担心，这个法案会导致发展中国家的人才流失。 第2篇 36,C [解析]本题是细节考查题。冰人尸体被发现的原因在文章的第一段提到。选项A"他躺在冰上",选项B"他刚好在一个山口上",选项C"融化的冰将他暴露出来",选项D"两个德国人正在爬山"。因此只能选C。 37,B[解析]本题是阅读理解能力考查题。"能从第二段推断出的是以下哪项?"选项A"冰人生活贫困",选项B"冰人有可能死于头部伤口",选项C"冰人背后受袭击而致死",选项D"冰人工作时被杀害"。原文是"它面朝下，除了头部有伤外，骨架状况很好"，仅就此推断，冰人可能死于头部伤，因此答案是B。 38,D [解析]本题是细节考查题。原题是下列哪项不属于人们对冰人作出的种种猜测。原文在第3段。选项A"他是一战时期的士兵",选项B"他是一位瑞士妇女失踪多年的父亲",选项C"他大约一千年前出生",选项D"他来自意大利"。D项所述在文中没有出现，因此答案是D。 39,A[解析]本题是细节考查题。原题是科学家对冰人的推论是什么。原文在第4段。选项A"有可能参与过战斗"是推论,选项B"头后部有伤口"是事实而非推论,选项C"皮肤上的小孔导致他的死亡"不符合事实,选项D"他的肩膀被箭头刺伤"是事实而非推论。因此只能选A。 40,C[解析]本题是阅读理解能力考察题。第4段"bandits"是什么意思?选项A"猎人":选项B"射击手",选项C"强盗",选项D"士兵"。因此只能选C。 参考译文 冰人 1991年九月的一天，两位德国人正在攀登奥地利和意大利之间的山脉。在一个高处山口他们发现了一具躺在冰上的尸体。在这样的高度(10499英尺，或3200米)，冰通常是常年不化的。但是1991年是特别暖的一年，山上的冰比从前消融得迅速，所以尸体才显露出来。 他面朝下，除了头部有伤外，骨架状况很好。骨头上依然有皮肤和残余的衣物。尸体双手仍然握着斧头的木柄，双脚穿着简单的由皮革和布料做的靴子，他附近有树皮做的一双手套和一个箭筒。 他是谁?他在什么时候怎样死去的?人人的解释都不同。有人认为他就是本世纪的人，有可能是二战时期阵亡的士兵，因为在这附近已经有士兵被发现了。一位瑞士妇女相信他是自己二十年前在这些山脉间去世的父亲，他的遗体一直没有被找到。赶去查看的科学家认为这一尸体可能更久远，它甚至有一千岁了。 科学家们运用当代年代确定技术很快获悉这一冰人竞有5300岁了。他大约出生在公元前3300年，生活在欧洲的青铜器时代。起初科学家们认为他有可能在高山间打猎时出事故而身亡。然而最近的一些证据显示并非如此。新型的x光表明他的肩膀上有一个箭头，皮肤上只有一个小孔，但却导致内部损伤和失血。几乎可以肯定他死于这个伤，而不是脑后的伤口。 这说明他有可能参与过战争，有可能是大型战争的一部分或者他和强盗搏斗过，甚至他本人就可能是强盗。 通过研究他的衣服和工具，科学家们就已经知道有关冰人生活的时代的很多内容。我们有可能永远无法知道他死亡的真相，但是他给我们提供了了解那个远古时代的重要线索。 第3篇 41,C [解析]本题是细节题。文章第2段提到:"她是进入Vendee Globe环球个人帆船比赛的唯一的两个女选手之一。""尽管遇到了许多困难，在24名参赛的选手中她获得了第二名。"B选项与文章内容相符，因此，答案为B。 42,D[解析]本题依然是细节考查题。文章第3段第2句指出:"为了努力获得资助去参加穿越大西洋的帆船比赛时，她在一个棚屋里住了三年。"选项D短语get financial supportfor a race与文章中短语get sponsorsllip to compete in a transatlantic lace同义。因此，D为答案。 43,B [解析]本题为词汇辨析题。solo:唯一的,单独的。例如:The sole snle survivor of thecrash was a little baby,这次撞车的唯一幸存者是一个婴儿。single-handed:单人完成的,独自。例如:a single-handed voyage across the Atlantic,横渡大西洋的单人航行。 44,A [解析]本题是细节判断题。通过文章第4段的仔细阅读，可以判断选项A"她必须是自己的教师"没有在这一段出现。因此，这个选项不符合文章内容。是本题的答案所在。 45,D [解析]本题是阅读能力推断题。文章最后一段记述了Ellen当时的心情。通过句子"随着美丽的日出一天开始了，灿烂的阳光慢慢消除了乌云，心情非常快乐。在大海上有这样生活的机会，我感到很幸运。"清楚地表现出Ellen快乐的 心情。因此，答案选择D。 参考译文 英国的单人帆船手 八岁时，E1len MacAnher开始驾驶帆船与姑姑一起出海航行。她非常喜爱航海以至于用三年积攒下的钱购臵了第一只小帆船。十八岁时，她独自驾驶帆船围绕英国航行并赢得了"年度青年水手"的称号。 但是2001年Ellen才真正成名。这时她只有二十四岁，她是进入Venclee Globe环球个人帆船比赛的唯一的两名女选手之一。比赛进行了100天。尽管遇到了许多困难，在24名参赛的选手中她获得了第二名。回来时，她受到了非常热情的欢迎。 雄心和决心已经是Ellen个性的重要成分。她很小的时候，为了努力获得资助去参加横渡大西洋的帆船比赛时，她在一个棚屋里住了三年。之后她购买了去法国的单程机票，购臵了一个小小的七米级小型游艇，修理游船时，她睡在修理的船下。1997年，她独自驾驶帆船用了33天横渡大西洋，行驶了4000公里。 Ellen必须学习许多东西，因为独自航行意味着自己要成为船长、电工、帆船修理工、工程师、医生、记者、摄影师和厨师。同时必须非常健康，因为在海上，长时间的睡觉是危险的，她已经训练到一次仅睡二十分钟。 同时她必须充满勇气。一次，凌晨4点，在海上迎着每小时100公里的风速，她不得不爬上桅杆修理船帆。她花费了数小时修理。Ellen说:"下来时，我筋疲力尽了。难以描述那时的感觉。就像要抓住一个巨大的杆子，对我来说它太粗了， 用胳膊不可能抱住。似乎有人一直在踢你并试图把你摇下去。" 但是，在日记中，Ellen也记述所有值得度过的时刻。"随着美丽的日出一天开始了，灿烂的阳光慢慢消除了乌云，心情非常快乐。在大海上有这样生活的机会，我感到很幸运。" 第五部分:补全短文 46,A[解析]本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到"他允许他们自己制定薪水，但会削减他认为不必要的，比如像接待员和秘书这样的工作"，而下一句应该解释这种做法的原因。而选项A说明"这样可以减少开支，并给公司带来更多平等"，与上下文联系最好，因此，选A。 47,C [解析]本题考查的是对段落主旨的理解和对文章细节的把握。本段主要讲semler如何改造公司的外表，而选项中只有C提到这方面的内容，"员工可以随意装饰自己的工作空间"放在这里是和前后两句话的并列。因此，选C。 48,B[解析]本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到"但如果Semco在地球另一端的油泵坏了，上百万加仑的油即将注入大海时，R0bin就会立刻跳起来行动"，下一句需要说到R0bin怎样行动，因此选项B"他了解关于我们公司油泵的任何事情，并能修理"最符合题目要求。 49,F [解析]本题考查的是对段落主旨的理解和对文章细节的把握。这一段讲述了Semco给予员工的自由，而选项中只有F"Semc0也允许员工用公司的机器做自己的项目，并且一年至少能休假30天"与此内容相关，因此选F。 50,E [解析]本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。上一句说到同伴 的压力让员工努力为他人工作，而下一句应具体解释这种压力如何发挥作用。选项E"如果有人表现不好，其他人会制止这一局面"延续了这一句的内容。因此选E。 参考译文 Semco 21岁时，Ricardo Semler就成为父亲在巴西的公司Semco的老板，该公司出售轮船部件。年少的Semler每天从早上七点半直到深夜疯狂地工作着。有天下午当他在纽约参观工厂时晕倒了，治疗医生说:"你身体没有什么毛病，但你若一直这样工作，你会长期待在医院的。"semler听从了医生的话。他改变了自己的工作方式，事实上也改变了员工的工作方式。 他让员工担负更多责任，让他们为事情偏离轨道而担忧。他允许他们自己制定薪水，但会削减他认为不必要的，比如像接待员和秘书这样的工作。这样可以减少开支，并给公司带来更多平等。Semco的每个人，甚至高管都要自己接待客人，复印、发传真、打字和打电话。 他完全改造了Semco:办公室没有墙，而是植物，因此老板不能与其他人隔开。员工可以随意装饰自己的工作空间。制服方面，则有人穿西装，有人穿T恤。 semler说:"我们有个坐在那里看几个小时报纸的销售经理，叫Rubin Agater。他甚至不用去装很忙碌的样子。但如果Semco在地球另一端的油泵坏了，上百万加仑的油即将注入大海时，Robin就会立刻跳起来行动。他了解关于我们公司油泵的任何事情，并能修理。这就是他挣工资的时候，别人并不关心其他时间他是否看上去忙忙碌碌。 Semco有弹性工作时间:员工自己决定什么时候来上班，并且一年要两次评估老板。Semco也允许员工用公司的机器做自己的项目，并且一年至少能休假30天。 听上去很好?但这一切都起作用了么?答案在数字中:在过去的六年里，semco的收入从三千五百万美元上升到两亿一千二百万美元。公司员工数量从800增长到3000。为什么会发生这一切? Semler认为这是因为"同伴的压力"。同伴的压力让员工努力为他人工作。如果有人表现不好，其他人会制止这一局面。换句话说，Ricardo Semler给员工以成人的待遇，并希望他们有成人的行为。他们都做到了。 第六部分:完形填空 51,A[解析]release公布,suggest建议,accept接受,detect探测。根据下文内容，这里应该是"一个被肿瘤学年报在网上公布的信件"，因此选A。 52,A [解析]problem问题,gap间隙,sickness疾病,secret秘密。根据下文内容，这里应该是"失去指纹会带来多大麻烦"，因此选A。 53,B[解析]cut裁剪,treat治疗，最符合题意,6nd发现,smooth磨光。本句意思是"一个新加坡籍的医学博士描述了用卡培他滨治疗一位患鼻咽癌的62岁老人的经历"。因此选B。 54,D [解析]diet饮食,exercise锻炼,recovery康复,drug药品，最符合题意。本句意思是"经过这个药物三年的治疗后"。因此选D。 55,B [解析]介词for在这里指"持续……时间"。本句意思是"他被美国海关 人员拦截了四小时之久"。因此选B。 56,D [解析]different不同的,strange奇怪的,interesting有趣的,distinctive独特的，最符合题意，指人手指上特有的漩涡状的指纹。本句意思是"因为在他的食指上没有独特的漩涡状的指纹标记"。因此选D。 57,B [解析]本题考查词组side effect副作用。Good好的,:normal正常的,main主要的。本句意思是"药物治疗的一个潜在的副作用就是会使指尖上的肉垫组织变光滑"。因此选B。 58,C [解析]}lowever但是，表示转折,meanwhile同时,hence因此，后面可以直接跟名词而独立成句，如:I fell off my bike yesterday Jaence the bmises,我昨天骑自行车摔倒了，所以青一块、紫一块的,yet仍然，还。本句意思为"药物治疗的一个潜在的副作用就是会使指尖上的肉垫组织变光滑，因此会没有指纹"。因此选C。 59,C [解析]chance机会,mark记号,loss消失，最符合题意,danger危险。本句的意思是"对于服用卡培他滨的病人来说，指纹何时会消失是不确定的"。因此选C。 60,C[解析]report报告,discourage使气馁,caution警告，最符合题意,praise赞美。本句意思是"所以他警告每位医师在给病人开药时要给病人开具他们的药物可能会使指纹消失的证明单"。因此选C。 61,A[解析]note票据，单子，最符合题意,name姓名Ibook书本,humber数字。本句意思是"给病人开具他们的药物可能会使指纹消失的证明单"。因此选A。 62,C [解析]本句意思是"但是他同样要带有医师开的证明单--并且要随身携带"。因此只能选C，witlaout。 63,C [解析]本句需要选一个关系代词引导非限定定语从句，并做定语从句的主语，因此只能选C，which。本句意思是"美国食品和药物局已经准许这一药物的使用有11年之久了"。 64,C [解析]collect收集,copy模仿,associate联系，最符合题意,test测验。本句意思是"应该考虑更新与该药物有关的副作用清单"。 65,B [解析]本句是时间状语no wllere提前构成的部分倒装句，谓语要由助动词doe$放在主语前。本句意思是"但是却没有提及失去指纹的潜在危险。"因此选B。 参考译文 指纹消失事件 一种非常有效的抗癌药物能够清除箩状指纹和其他使指纹与众不同的标志。失去指纹可是会有很大麻烦。一封被肿瘤学年报在网上公布的信件说明了失去指纹会带来多大麻烦。 Eng-Huat Tan，一个新加坡籍的医学博士描述了用卡培他滨治疗一位患鼻咽癌的62岁老人的经历。经过三年的治疗后，这位病人去年十二月份决定去美国拜访亲戚。在他进入这个国家后，他被美国海关人员拦截了四小时之久，因为这些官员无法从他身上获取指纹。在他的食指上没有独特的漩涡状的指纹标记。 "美国海关数年以来一直都会采集来访外国人的指纹，"Tan说:"不幸的是， 对于这位新加坡旅行者来说，药物治疗的一个潜在的副作用就是会使指尖上的肉垫组织变光滑，因此会没有指纹。" "对于服用卡培他滨的病人来说，指纹何时会消失是不确定的。"Tan指出。所以他警告每位医师在给病人开药时要给病人开具他们的药物可能会使指纹消失的证明单。 最终，那位新加坡旅客终于进入了美国。我猜想他护照上的名字没有带有任何危险信号，但是他同样要带有医师开的证明单--并且要随身携带。 顺便提一下，美国食品药物管理局已经准许这一药物的使用有11年之久了，应该考虑更新与该药物有关的副作用清单。现有的副作用清单中确实列出病人会经历呕吐、胃痛和其他副作用，但是却没有提及失去指纹的潜在危险。 试题四 第1部分:词汇选项 (第1,15题，每题1分，共15分) 下面共有15个句子，每个句子中均有1个词或短语画有底横线，请从每个句子后面所给的4个选项中选择1个与画线部分意义最相近的词或短语。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位臵上。 1 It is obvious that he will win the game, A likely B possible C clear D probable 2 The earth moves around the sun, A before B round C after D over 3 Did anyone call when l was out?

They both do,a new study says,but in different ways, Men and women,Canadian researchers have found，have different methods of finding their way,Men look quickly at landmarks f地标)and head off in what they think is the right direction Women,however,try to picture the whole route in detail and then f01low the path in their head， ‚Women tend to be more detailed,?said Edward Cornell，who led the study。 ‚while men tend to be a little bit faster and…a little bit more intuitive(直觉感知的)? In fact,said Cornell,‚sense of direction?isn’t one skill but two, The first is the‚survey method，’,This is when you see an area from above，such as a printed map You can see,for example，where the hospital is，where the church is and that the supermarket is on its right The second skill is the‚route method?This is when you use a series of directions,Yon start from the hospital,then turn 1eft,turn right，go uphill—and then you see the supermarket, Men are more likely to use the survey method while women are more likely to use one route and follow directions Both work,and neither is better Some scientists insist that these different skills have a long history,They argue it is because of the difference in traditional roles, In ancient times,young men often went far away with the older men to fish or hunt The trip took hours or days and covered unfamiliar places,The only way to know where you were was to use the survey method to remember landmarks—the mountains,the 1akes and so on, The women，on the other hand，took young girls out to find fruits and plants,These activities were much closer to home but required learning well—used paths,So， women’s sense of space was based on learning certain routes 31 When finding his way Dad tends to rely on A his intuitive knowledge B his book knowledge, C Mum’s assistance, D the police’s assistance， 32 Women are more likely to use A 山e survey method B the traditional method, C the route method D the right method, 33 Which works better,the route method or the survey method?

A The earliest carnivals were held in ancient Rome B Carnivals were originally a tradition of the Brazilians C Carnivals were originally a tradition of the Romans, D The Brazilians have integrated the Roman carnival into their culture, 第三篇 More Than a Ride to School The National Education Association claims，‚The sch001 bus is a mirror of the community,? They further add that，unfortunately，what appears on the exterior(外部)does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community,They are right,and sometimes it reflects more!Just ask Liesl Denson Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl, Bruce Hardy,school bus driver for A1thouse Bus Company has been Liesl’s bus driver since kindergarten Last year when Liesl’s family moved to Parkesburg，knowing her bus went by her new residence，she requested to ride the same bus, This year Lieslis a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus,She says,‚It s been a great ride so far!

话。题干说的是:在长达2005年里，爱尔兰一直是世界上最适合于人类居住的地方。因此，不对。 17 c 题干说的是:工作稳定是生活质量中最不重要的衡量标准。文章第三段提到了工作稳定,job security,，但是没有说工作稳定是生活质量中最不重要的衡量标准。 18 A 题干说的是:在爱尔兰生活费用相当高。这一信息可以从第四段中的词组‚the high cost of living?,很高的生活费用,中找到。 19 c 题干说的是:在津巴布韦，家庭生活不稳定。文章没有提到。 20 A 题干说的是:爱尔兰名居榜首是因为它把新时期的最佳的成分和一些好的传统结合在一起。这一信息可以从第七段中找到。 21 B 题干说的是:评价生活质量很容易。第八段是这么说的:The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a

本题是根据第三段的第一句话设计的。quit和give up口都有‚放弃?的意思。 He has given up smoking.他戒烟了……He has quitted smoking他戒烟了。 28 c 本题是根据第五段的最后一句话设计的。该句说到了Henry Ford本人的早年生涯并不成功。 29 B 第五段也说到了Walt Disney，他曾经都付不起只需1.5美元的修鞋的钱。本题就是根据Walt Disney，，当时的情况设计的。 30 E 该题问的是:媒体要求什么,最后一段的第三句是这么说的:但是，一个没有耐心的社会和媒体希望即时成功。因此E是合适的选项。 、第4部分:阅读理解31 A 该题问的是:找路时爸爸依赖的是什么,A说的是:他的直觉知识。B说的是:他的书本知识。c说的是:妈妈的帮助。D说的是:警察的帮助。第四段的最后讲到男人时作者用了这么一个短语:a.1ittle bit more intuitive.直觉感知更多 一些。可见A是正确答案。类似的描述也见于第三段。 32 c 该题问的是:女人倾向于用什么,A说的是:测量法。B说的是:传统法。c说的是:路线法。D说的是:正确的办法。第三段的最后一句是这么说的:然而，女人是试图先把整个路线详详细细地记住，然后跟着脑子里的线路走。因 此c是正确的。 33 D 该题问的是:路线法和测量法，哪种更好些,倒数第四段是这么说的:两种都可以，不能说一种比另一种更好。可见D是正确的。 34 D 该题问的是:哪一种不是地标,顾名思义，你脑袋里的线路当然不是路标。 35 c 该题问的是:女人的方位感是出于什么样的需要形成的,A说的是:为了钓鱼。B说的是:为了打猎。c说的是:为了熟悉常用的道路。D说的是:为了游泳。c可以在最后一段的倒数第二句找到。 36 c 该题问的是:根据短文，在狂欢节，里约热内卢人下列的事中哪一种不做, 第二段的最后提到‚许多人都忘记了吃饭和睡觉?。因此，里约热内卢人在这个日子里，更不可能去大吃大喝。 37 B 该题问的是:狂欢节有多长,第一段说到狂欢节从2月20日开始。第二段说到此后6天有各种各样的活动。可见，总共是7天，即整整一个星期。 38 A ‚centrepiece?是‚核心部分?的意思。因此A是最合适的。 39 c 第三段的第一句提到了Bob Nadkami是英国人，这就排斥了A和D.该句还说到此人是因为喜欢狂欢节来到巴西并在里约热内卢定居，并不是来玩一玩的，这就排斥了B. 40 B 该题问的是:下面的哪一种说法是错误的,B说的是:狂欢节本来是巴西人的传统。最后一段说到‚狂欢节?起源于古罗马。因此B的说法是错误的。 41 D mirror和reflection都有‚反映?的意思。reflection的动词是reflect，在第一段中出现了两次。vehicle是‚交通工具?，device是‚装臵?，company是‚公司?。 42 A 该题问的是:Bruce Hardy为Althouse公交公司工作了多少年了,第四段的第二句话是这么说的:今年，他要庆祝为Althouse公交公司工作30年。 43 c 该题问的是:下面的哪一种说法不符合Bruce Hardy的实际情况,A和B可见于第三段第二行。D可见于第四段的后半部分。c说的是:Bruce Hardy不耐心。，第三段说到Bruce Hardy是一个很好的听众，他总是听着你要说的话。日_见，说Bruce Hardy不耐心不符合实际情况。 44 B 该题问的是:谁创立了Alt}louse公交公司,A说的是:Larry Althouse.Larry Althouse是公司的总裁。B说的是:Althouse的祖父。倒数第二段有这样一句话: 我,Althouse,的祖父开始经营时只有一辆公共汽车。可见，B是正确答案。 45 D 该题问的是:A1thouse工交公司追求的目标是什么,A说的是:尽量多挣钱。 B说的是:出名。c开发业务。D为社区提供高质量的服务。D可见于倒数第二段。 第5部分:补全短文46 E 文章的第一两句话提出了Kimiko Fukuda一直在想的一件事，即狗究竟想表达什么。紧接着应该给出一个答案是比较符合逻辑的。E就是答案。 47 D 上一句话说的30万日本养狗人已经买了人狗翻译机。符合逻辑的一步是更多的人还会买。因此D是合理的选项。 48 A 上一句说的是Bowlingual这个装臵有两个部分。接着应该是具体说明。A是对装臵的具体说明。 49 F 第五段的第一句话说的是:根据动物行为研究，这些杂音可以分成六类:幸福,悲痛,受挫,气愤,声称,欲望。因为是人狗翻译机，这些情感还需要跟人的话对应起来。 50 c 上一句话说的是:当一个客人最近来到Fukuda的屋时，狗大声地叫着‚bow wow?的声音。因为是在讲人狗翻译机，下面一句话应该讲的是它的翻译。因此C是对的。 第6部分:完形填空5l B 百幕大三角区是海洋中最大的谜团之一。0f表示所属关系，是合适的选择。 52 D 这里需要填入一个动词，这就排斥了A和c.look不跟动词不定式，因此只有seem是正确的。 53 c rest和others都不能放在名词前，another.跟单数名词。因此只有other是正确的选择。 54 A 这个句子表达的是否定的意思，即‚这些船没有留下……便失踪了?，所以只能选择without这个介词。 55 c 表示‚据说?用‚It is said…?。整个句子说的是:据说，Christopher Columbus是记录这一海域怪现象的第一人。 56 A 表示具体的一天前面用On.又如:He was born on May 4，1980.他生于1980年5月4日。from和since表示‚从那一天起?。 57 D 表示飞机起飞的动词组是take off. 58 c 动词blame可以跟for，也可以跟on搭配。试比较: They blame him for the Fire.They blame the fire on him.他们把火灾归罪于他。根据位臵，此处应用on. 59 A 注意:miss和massing是两个不同的词。miss是‚想念?，‚错过?的意思。 missing是‚失踪?的意思。显然，此处应用missing. 60 B 前面的either一是很好的提示，告诉我们应用or.either or表示‚或是…… 或是……?。 61 A 倒数第二段讲的是其他的解释。因此用also.no是否定词。barely和hardly是具有否定意义的副词。 62 c 这里需要一个引导定语从句的词，由于先行词是t,laces，所以应用where. 63 A这里要表示的是‚,不是,……而是……?的意思，所以应用。_3stead of. 64 D 这里需要一个表示因果关系的词。在四个选项中只有therefore表示因果关系。 65 B to be known for是‚因……而出名?，to be known as是‚作为……而著称?。 又如:He is known for his hum or他以幽默出名。He is known as a humorist.大家都知道他是幽默大师。 试题五

Anyone who wanted to change something would get a list of signatures from people who agreed to the idea and either send them to the government or deliver them personally to the Prime Minister's house in London. They are always accepted at the door by one of the PM'S officials. What happens then? Nothing much, usually. But petitions have always been thought of as a useful way for those who govern to find out what the people really think. That's why the UK government launched its "e. petition" site in November 2006. Instead of physically collecting signatures, all anyone with an idea has to do now is to make a proposal on the government website, and anyone who supports the idea is free to add his or her signature. The petitions soon started to flow in. The idea was for the British people to express their constructive ideas. Many chose instead to express their sense of humor. One petitioner called on Tony Blair to ‚stop the Deputy Prime Minister eating so much?. Another wanted to expel,驱逐,Scotland from the United Kingdom because Scottish football fans never support England In the World Cup. Other petitioners called on the Prime Minister to abolish the monarchy. Some wanted to give it more power. Some wanted to oppose the United States. Others wanted to leave the European Union. Some wanted to send more troops to lraq and others wanted them all brought home. Some wanted to adopt the euro,欧元,. Others wanted to keep the pound. Yet if some petitions are not serious, others present a direct challenge to government policy. A petition calling on the government to drop plans to charge drivers for using roads has already drawn around l8 million signatures. In response to that, a rival petition has been posted in support of road pricing. And that is also rapidly growing. There are about 60 million people in Britain. So it is understandable that the government wants to find out what people are thinking. But the problem with the e-petition site seems to be that the British people have about 70 million opinions, and want the Prime Minister to hear all of them. Perhaps he could start a petition asking everyone to just shut up for a while. 16 A petition needs to be signed. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 17 The Prime Minister reads petitions every day. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 18 A petition has to be mailed to the Prime Minister’s house in London. A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 19 Petitions have been taken to be one of the ways for the British people to express their ideas.

It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are l3 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three. 2 The goal is to make it more meaningful.? explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US—CIS. Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better ‚understanding and respect? for US civic,公民的,values, Gonzalez says. 3 The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a ‚shared commitment? from immigrants for their adopted country's ‚values?. In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language,work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. it involved watching a video showing nude,裸体的, women bathing at beaches and gay,同性恋的,men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that ‚newcomers will be comfortable with the country's liberal social mores,风俗,?. 4 Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile to each other. Promoting integration has become a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes,少数民族聚居区,in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists. 5 Officials believe that a person's attachment to, a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate,同化,themselves. ?Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?? says Ali Noorani, of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition,难民辩护联盟,. 23 Paragraph 2 . 24 Paragraph 3 . 25 Paragraph 4 . 26 Paragraph 5 .

He called recent criticism by the former President Bill Clinton ‚chutzpah?,大胆放肆,. With just one sentence, Snow managed to make headlines, a joke and a defense of President George W. Bush. Interestingly, this is how battles are fought and won in US politics - with carefully-worded one-liners,一行字幕新闻,made for TV which often lack substance and clarity,清晰度,. ‚The amount of information that candidates attempt to communicate to people is actually getting smaller and smaller,? said Mark Smith, a political science professor at Cedarville University. This has been accompanied by a changing media environment, Smith said. In l968, the average TV or radio soundbite,演讲中的句子或短语,was 48 seconds, according to Smith. In l996, the average soundbite had shrunk To 8 seconds. Thus, politicians wanting publicity try to make their public communication as quotable as possible. Campaigning politicians also use 30-second TV ads and clever campaign slogans to boost their messages. Republican presidential candidate John McCain rides to campaign stops in a bus named the ‚Straight. Talk Express?. McCain hopes the name will convince voters he plans to tell people the truth - whether it's in fashion or not. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has chosen the campaign slogan ‚Let the conversation begin?. She hopes it will help her appear open-minded and friendly. But one-liners, TV ads and campaign slogans all have a single key ingredient: something commonly called political ‚spin?. Brooks Jackson, a former journalist and the current director of the non-partisan,无党派的,website FactCheck..org, calls spin ‚just a polite word for deception,欺骗,. ? ‚I do believe that very often politicians believe their own spin,? said Jackson.? Strong partisans suffer from a universal human tendency:They ignore the evidence that would force them into the uncomfortable position of having to change their minds and admit that they were wrong. ? 31 Which statement is NOT true of one 1iners? A They are unclear. B They contain a lot of information. C They lack substance. D They are carefully constructed. 32 What changed from l968 to 1996 ? A Publicity. B Information. C Communication. D The average soundbite. 33 The campaign slogan ‚Straight—Talk Express? aims at convincing voters that the presidential candidate is A honest. B friendly. C open-Minded. D warm-hearted. 34 According to Brooks Jackson, all campaign slogans are A attractive. B impressive. C deceptive. D informative. 35 Which statement best describes strong partisans ? A They are very funny. B They are very healthy. C They are very aggressive. D They are very stubborn,顽固的,. 第二篇 A Tale of Scottish Rural Life Lewis Grassic Gibbon's Sunset Song,1932,was voted ‚the best Scottish novel of all time? by Scotland's reading public in 2005. Once considered shocking for its frank description of aspens of the lives of Scotland’s poor rural farmers. It has been adapted for stage, film, TV and radio in recent decades. The novel is set on the fictional estate of Kinraddie, in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to and beyond World War l. At its heart is the story of Chris, who is both part of the community and a little outside it. Grassic Gibbon gives US the most detailed and intimate account of the life of his heroine,女主人公,. We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel but hard-working father,experience tragedy,her mother's suicide and murder of her twin children,; and learn about her feelings as she grows into a woman. We see her marry, lose her husband, then marry again. Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man. But it would be misleading to suggest that this book is just about Chris. 1t is truly a novel of a place and its people. Its opening section tells of Kinraddie's long history, in a language that imitates the place’s changing patterns of speech and writing. The story itself is amazingly full of characters and incidents. It is told from Chris’ point of view but also from that of the gossiping community, a community where everybody knows eye, body else’s business and nothing is ever forgotten. Sunset Song has a social theme too. It is concerned with what Grassic Gibbon perceives as the destruction of traditional Scottish rural life first by modernization and then by World War l. Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war. Despite this, the war takes the young men away, a number of them to their deaths. In particular, it takes away Chris’ husband, Ewan Tavendale. The war finally kills Ewan, but not in the way his widow is told. In fact, the Germans aren’t responsible for his death, but his own side. He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle. If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead. It is a ‚Sunset Song? but is concerned too with the new Kinraddie, indeed of the new European world. Grassic Gibbon went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story. 36 What is Sunset Song mainly about? A The First World War. B The beauty of the sunset. C The new European world. D The lives of rural Scottish farmers. 37 Which statement is NOT true of Chris? A She is the heroine of Sunset Song. B She had a miserable childhood. C She is the creation of a man. D She married only once. 38 What is the opening section of the novel mainly concerned with? A The climate of Kinraddie. B The history of Kinraddie. C The geography of Kinraddie. D The language spoken in Kinraddie. 39 Who killed Chris' husband, Ewan? A His own troops. B The French army C The Germans. . D The Russian soldiers. 40 The word ‚Sunset? in the title of this novel most probably means A the end of the heroine's life. B the end of the story. C the end of the traditional way of life. D the end of the day. 第三篇 Centers of the Great European Cities The centers of the great cities of Europe are meeting places by tradition. People gather there to drink coffee and chat late into the night. A mixture of locals and tourists make for an exciting. metropolitan,大都市的,atmosphere. Squares, plazas,广场,and arcades,拱廊,form the heart of Europe's cities. Venice in Italy has the Piazza San Marco - a beautiful square surrounded by shops, churches, restaurants and cafes. In Barcelona, Spain, La Bosqueria is a lively market with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of goods. London's Covent Garden is filled with fruit and vegetable stalls by day and musicians, acrobats,杂技演员,and artists by night. The government buildings at the center of many cities often are architecturally impressive. In London, they serve as a beautiful backdrop,背景,to the coffee tables that line the streets and the banks of the Thames. These vibrant,有活力的,hearts are the product of centuries of evolution, social historian Joel Garreau told US News and World Report recently. ‚The reason people think Venice is so great today is you don’t see all the mistakes,? said Garreau. ‚Those have all been removed.? Most European cities were laid out before the invention of the car, so bars, restaurants and cafes were near to people’s homes. Today, the focus of many Europeans' life has moved away from the centers. They live in the suburbs and outskirts, driving to supermarkets to get their supplies. But on a continent where people treasure convention there are still those who hold onto traditional ways, living and shopping locally. These people, together with tourists, provide the city centers with their reason for existence. Coffee culture plays a part in keeping these city centers flourishing. This is particularly true of Paris whose citizens are famous enthusiastic conversationalists. This skill is developed over many hours spent chaffing over espressos,浓咖啡,and cigarettes. Religion also plays a role in developing sociable atmosphere. People in Roman Catholic countries used to visit the Church on an almost daily basis. Entire communities would gather in the same building and then move out to the markets, cafés and bars in the surrounding streets. An enormous example of this relationship between church and society is the Duomo. The huge marble cathedral in Florence, Italy is surrounded by bakeries and coffee shops, and caters,迎合,not only to the tourist crowds, but also the local community. 41 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that each big city in Europe A has many large squares. B has many very magnificent sky-scrapers. C draws tourists in large numbers every yean D has a center where tourists meet their spouses. 42 Which statement is NOT true of Covent Garden? A It is crowded with people. B It is located in London. C It is filled with stalls. D It is surrounded by shops, churches, restaurants and cafes. 43 Why do people think that Venice is so great? A Because It is a famous tourist attraction. B Because you can reach anywhere by boat. C Because it is well-known for its merchants. D Because all the mistakes have been removed. 44 What are Parisians famous for ? A Their pursuit of independence. B Their enthusiasm for conversation. C Their ability to keep the city flourishing. D Their devotion to developing a multiple culture. 45 The writer cites the Duomo in the last paragraph as an example to illustrate that A there is a tight link between church and society. B all churches are magnificent. C old churches are very popular. D high—rise churches are impressive. 第5部分:补全短文,第46,50题，每题2分，共10分, 下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文 内容将 其分别放回原有位臵，以恢复文章原貌. Rising Tuition in the US Every Spring, US university administrators gather to discuss the next academic year's budget. They consider faculty salaries, utility costs for dormitories, new building needs and repairs to old ones. They run the numbers and conclude - it seems, inevitably - that, yet again, the cost of tuition must go up. According to the US's College Board, the price of attending a four-year private university in the US rose 81 percent between l993 and 2004 ,46,In 2005 and 2006, the numbers continued to rise. According to university officials, college cost increases are simply the result of balancing university checkbooks. ‚Tuition increases at Cedarville University are determined by our revenue needs for each year,? said the university's president. Dr Bill Brown. ‚Student tuition pays for 78 percent of the university's operating costs.? Brown's school is a private university that enrolls about 3,100 undergrads and is consistently recognized by annual college ranking guides like US News and World Report's and The Princeton Review's. ,47, Tuition at private universities is set by administration officials and then sent for approval to the school's board of trustees,董事,. ,48,This board oversees,监管, all of a state's public institutions. John Durham, assistant secretary to the board of trustees at East Carolina University,ECU,, explains that state law says that public institutions must make their services available whenever possible to the people of the state for free. Durham said that North Carolina residents only pay 22 percent of the cost of their education. ,49,State residents attending ECU pay about US $10,000 for tuition, room and board before financial aid. Amid the news about continued increases in college costs, however, there is some good news. Tuition increases have been accompanied by roughly equal increases in financial aid at almost every university. To receive financial aid, US students complete a formal application with the federal government. The federal government then decides whether an applicant is eligible,有资格的,for grants or loans. ,50, A The application is then sent to the student’s university, where the school itself will decide whether free money will be given to the student and how much. B At public universities, however, tuition increases must also be approved by a state education committee, sometimes called the board of governors. C The school currently charges US $23,410 a year for tuition. D Many American people are simply unable to pay the growing cost of food. E That’s more than double the rate of inflation. F The state government covers the rest. 第6部分:完形填空,第51,65题，每题l分，共15分, 下面的短文有l5处空白，请根据短文内容为每处空白确定1个最佳选项。 How Two Great Conflicts Helped to Change Europe Ninety years ago on a sunny morning in Northern France, something happened that changed Britain and Europe for ever. At half past seven on the morning of July l,1916, whistles,哨子,blew and thousands of British soldiers left their positions to attack their German enemies. By the end of the day, 20,000 of them were dead, and another 30,000 wounded or missing. The Battle of the Somme, ,51,it is called, lasted for six months. When it ended, 125,000 British soldiers were dead. They had gained five kilometers of ground. This was one of a series of great battles during WWI. The attack on the Somme was staged to relieve ,52,on the French, who were engaged in a great battle of their own at a place called Verdun. By the time the battle ended, over a million French and German troops had been killed. About l7 million people were killed in WWI. There have been wars with greater numbers of dead. But there has never been one in ,53,most of the dead were concentrated in such a small area. On the Somme battlefield, two men died for every meter of space. Local farmers working in the land still ,54,the bodies of those who died in that battle. The dead of all nations were buried in a series of giant graveyards along the line of the border ,55,France and Belgium.

It took a second great conflict before Europe was to turn ,57,war itself. Twenty-eight years after the Somme baffle, a liberating army of British, American and Canadian troops took back ,58,from another German invasion. More than 500,000 people were killed. New ,59,were built. Two great conflicts across two generations helped to change the European mind about war. Germany, once the most warlike country in Europe, is now probably more in ,60,of peace than any other. One major cause of war in Europe was rivalry,竞争, between France and Germany. The European Union was specifically formed to end that ,61,. According to US commentator William Pfaff, ‚Europeans are interested in a slow development of civilized and tolerant international relations, ,62, on problems while avoiding catastrophes,灾难,along the way.

In many instances your instructor may give a specific topic. If this is done, you have little choice, but most instructors will permit or even welcome a slightly changed focus in a topic if it is supported by good thinking. In some of your classes, the instructor may present a suggested list of several topics from which you are to make a choice. If this is done, do not simply select the first idea that attracts your attention. It may be one with which you will soon become bored, or it may be one on which you would have difficulty finding all the necessary information. Looking at the topics, try to consider how you might go about developing each of them. When you find out what seems especially interesting and worthwhile, do a bit checking in the library to see if you can get the basic resources you will need. Choosing a good research topic does not necessarily mean finding something that has a lot written about it. Many times you will have to research around a topic in order to find out the most useful information. Exciting and original topics often come to mind by combining two completely different interests. Let us say that you are interested in child psychology and in sports. Perhaps you can combine these into a study of the effect that is watching on the subject, you can research the topic individually and, by putting your information together, then draw a conclusion. 16.Choosing a topic for research is important in that you will put a great deal of time and energy into it. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 17.All instructors will allow somewhat changed focus in the original topic. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 18.If all the topics are interesting, you are advised to choose the one that has necessary information and is easy to get the basic resources you will need in the library. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 19.Choosing a good research topic certainly refers to finding something that has a lot written about it. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 20.An exciting and original topic must be any two interests combined. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 21.You can research the topic by cooperating with others. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 22.The passage is most likely written for researchers. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 第3部分:概括大意与完成句子(第23,30题，每题1分，共8分) 下面的短文后有两项测试任务:(1)第23-26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2-5 段每段选择1个最佳标题;(2)第27-30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1 个最佳选项。 The Role of Governments 1 Governments determine the legal framework that sets the basic meets for the ownership of property and the operation of markets. In addition, governments at all levels regulate economic behavior, setting detailed rules for the operation of businesses. Such regulations apply to all businesses; examples include laws against fraud and racial discrimination. 2 Governments buy and produce many goods and services, such as defense, education, parks and roads, which they provide for firms and households. They typically buy computers but write programs they need to operate them. Governments also produce and sell goods. In many countries the phone company is government-owned, like the electric system. 3 Governments also make transfer payments, such as Social Security and unemployment benefits to individuals. Transfer payments are payments for which no current economic goods or service is provided in return and therefore do not represent expenditure for the purchase of final products. A firefighter’s salary is not a transfer payment, but welfare benefits are. 4 Governments pay for the goods they buy and for the transfer payments they make mostly by collecting taxes, including personal income taxes, property taxes, social insurance taxes, and sales taxes. Over 60% of the government revenue in the U.S. is collected by the federal government. This does not include taxes collected by state and city government. 5 Every market economy suffers from business cycles. Governments, through their control of taxes and government spending and through their ability to control the quantity of money, often attempt to modify fluctuations in the business cycle. For instance, the government may reduce taxes in a recession in the hope that people will increase spending and thus raise the GNP. 23.Paragraph. 2 _________. 24.Paragraph 3 _________. 25.Paragraph 4 _________. 26.Paragraph 5 _________. A.Collecting Taxes B.Making Transfer Payments C.Making Laws and Regulations D.Buying and Selling Goods and Services E.Stabilizing the Economy F.Controlling the Market 27.Governments regulate economic behavior, and the regulations _________. 28.Besides buying and producing services, governments also _________. 29.The government revenue in the U.S. is collected by the federal government and _________. 30.The government may reduce taxes in a recession in order to _________. A.apply to all businesses. B.raise the GDP. C.state and city government D.reduce spending E.modify fluctuations in the business cycle F.produce and sell goods 第4部分:阅读理解(第31,45题，每题3分，共45分) 下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每道题确定一个 最佳选项。 第一篇 Endangered Species Endangered species are plants and animals that are in immediate danger of extinction. Extinction is actually a normal process in the course of evolution. Since the formation of the earth, many more species have become extinct than those exist today. These species slowly disappeared because of change of climate and their failure to adapt to such conditions as competition and predation. Since the 1600s, however, the process of extinction has greatly accelerated as a result of both human population growth and technological encroachment on natural ecology systems. Today the majority of the world’s environments are changing faster than the ability of most species to adapt to such changes through natural selection. Species become extinct or endangered for number of reasons, but the primary cause is the destruction of natural habitats. Drainage of wetlands, cutting and clearing of forests, growth of cities, and highway and dam construction have seriously reduced available natural habitats. As the various surroundings become fragments, the remaining animal population crowd into smaller areas, causing further destruction of natural surroundings. Species in these small ‚islands? lose contact with other populations of their extinction. Some private and government efforts have been organized to save declining species. Laws were made in some countries in the early 1900s to protect wild animals from commercial trade and killing. International endeavors are shown in the convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, approved by 51 nations. Its purpose is to restrict exploitation of wild animals and plants by regulating and restricting trade in certain species. How effective such laws will be in various countries, however, depends on enforcement and support by the people and the courts. Because of lack of law enforcement, the willingness of some segments of society to trade in endangered species, the activities of people who catch and kill animals illegally and dealers who supply the trade, the future of many species is in doubt in spite of legal protection. 31.According to the passage, which of the following is the most important factor causing the rapid extinction of many species since the 17th century? A.Human beings are not aware of the importance of preserving endangered species. B.Some endangered species have already reached the end of their life span in evolution. C.The development of human society has greatly affected natural ecology systems. D.The world’s climate has changed greatly that most species cannot survive. 32.In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the word ‚islands? refers to A.the lands that are completely surrounded by water. B.the wild animals’ breeding grounds protected by law. C.the pieces of land separated by modern buildings and roads. D.the small and isolated areas inhabited by certain species. 33.This passage mentions all of the following causes for the extinction of many species EXCEPT A.natural selection of species. B.various natural disasters. C.commercial trade and killing D.destruction of natural surroundings. 34.According to the passage, which of the following is most important in saving declining species? A.governments should make some laws to protect endangered species. B.People should pay more attention to the protection of natural surroundings. C.Relevant law must be made and enforced with the support of the people. D.Some organizations should warn people not to trade in endangered animals. 35.How does the author feel about the prospect of protecting endangered species from being extinct? A.Worried B.Optimistic C.Indifferent D.Confident 第二篇 Americans Get Touchy The New York Times recently reported that American teens are hugging practically everyone they see. Say goodbye to the greetings of the past, from the hands-off "Whats up!" to the handshake or high-five2. For young people across the country, hugging is the new "Hello". Girls are hugging girls. Boys are hugging boys. Girls and boys are hugging each other. And, like every major trend, there are lots of variations on the form. Theres the classic, full-body, arms-around-the-person bear hug, the casual one-armed side hug, the group hug and the hug from behind. Theres the handshake that turns into a hug and the hug that turns into a pat on the back. As trends go, this one seems pretty innocent. But some parents, teachers and school administrators are worried nonetheless. Will young people who arent as comfortable with physical contact feel peer pressured into hugging? Will kids who dont receive hugs feel left Out3? Could an extra-long hug slide into the more ominous territory of sexual harassment? In response to some of these concerns, some schools have set up new rules to limit or eliminate hugging. One school head has created a three-second limitation4 for hugs at her school. A few schools have taken even more drastic measures, placing a ban on all forms of touching between students. A few important points are being left out of the discussion. While the US has traditionally been reserved about touching - saving hugs and kisses for relatives, romantic partners and very close friends - people in many other parts of the world have been greeting each other this way for ages. In Latin America or Western Europe, in countries like Spain, France, and Italy, a kiss on the cheek is common among women, as well as among women and men who are not romantically involved. The cheek-kiss varies by region. Sometimes it is just an air kiss blown past the face. In other places, the proper way of greeting is to deliver a kiss upon both cheeks, or sometimes even a triplet of kisses performed by kissing one cheek, then the other, then back to the first. Latin American men are more likely to shake hands when greeting other men, but in some countries like Turkey, its not unusual for men who know each other well to exchange kisses on the cheek. Meanwhile, for the Maori people of New Zealand, a traditional greeting called the "hongi" involves pressing noses together. So, from a global perspective, the new trend of teen hugging in America is not so "new" after all. People all around the world move in close to say hello, and Americans are just now joining in. 36.The word "practically" in the first paragraph could be best replaced by A.certainly B.nearly C.actively D.voluntarily 37.Which of the following is NOT among the typical ways of greetings in the past? A.hands off "Whats up" B.handshake C.high-five D.embrace 38.Some parents, teachers and school administrators concern the new trend of hugging for the following reasons EXCEPT: A.Some young people get involved into the trend due to peer pressure. B.Those who dont receive hugs feel left out. C.Theres the danger that hugging slide into the more ominous territory of sexual harassment. D.Diseases could be transmitted more easily through the extra-long body contact. 39.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A.Teenagers across the US hug everyone they see in nearly the same way. B.Although some adults worry about the trend, few measures have been taken to ban on it. C.Traditionally, the US people have been reserved about hugging between anybody. D.In some countries, its usual for men to kiss each other on the cheek. 40.We can infer that the author holds a attitude toward the new trend of hugging. A.positive B.negative C.indifferent D.conservative 第三篇 Right and Wrong Suppose you work in a library, checking people’s books as they leave, and a friend asks you to let him steel a hard-to-find reference book that he wants to own. You might hesitate to agree for various reasons. You might be afraid that he’ll be caught, and that both you and he will then get into trouble. You might want the book to stay in the library so that you can read it yourself. But you may also think that what he proposes is wrong—that he shouldn’t do it and you shouldn’t help him. If you think that, what does it mean and what, if anything, makes it true? To say it’s wrong is not just to say it’s against the rules. There can be bad rules which stop what isn’t wrong—like a company rule against criticizing the boss. A rule can also be bad because it requires something that is wrong --- like a law that looks down upon black people in hotels and restaurants. The ideas of wrong and right are different from the ideas of what is and is not against the rules. If you think it would be wrong to help your friend steal the book, then you will feel uncomfortable about doing it: in some way you won’t want to do it, even if you are also unwilling to refuse to help a friend. Where does the desire not to do it come from? What is its motive behind it? There are various ways in which something can be wrong, but in this case, if you had to explain it, you’d probably say that it would be unfair to other users of the library. They may be just as interested in the book as your friend is, but read it in the reference room, where anyone who needs it can find it. These thoughts have to deal with effects on others – not necessarily effects on their feelings, since they may never find out about it, but some kind of damage. In general, the thought that something is wrong depends on its impact not just on the person who does it but on other people. 41.The following may be the reasons why the librarian does not want to help his friend EXCEPT that A.he is afraid that his friend might get into trouble. B.he himself might get into trouble. C.he believes it is wrong to help one’s poor friend. D.he wants to read the book himself. 42.Which of the following statements does the author seem most likely to agree with? A.To be or not to be against the rules has little to do with being wrong or right. B.To say something is wrong almost suggests that it is against the rules. C.A rule is always something that stops what is wrong. D.A rule is always something that encourages what is right. 43.Why does the author give some examples of bad rules? A.Because those rules are said to be strongly negative. B.Because he wants to show that rules are not the criteria for judging right or wrong. C.Because those rules are made in order to stop what is wrong. D.Because he wants to support the argument that stealing a book is not a crime. 44.In the sentence ‚What is its motive behind it?? ( Paragraph 5), ‚it? refers to A.the ‚it? in the phrase ‚the desire not to do it?. B.‚the desire? in the phrase ‚the desire not to do it?. C.the idea of Paragraph 5. D.the idea of helping the friend. 45.According to the passage, the author would judge what is wrong A.by what is or is not against the rules. B.by its impact on other people. C.by one’s thoughts and feelings towards it. D.by the kind of damage it does to others. 第5部分:补全短文(第46,50题，每题2分，共10分) 下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文 内容将其分别放回原有位臵，以恢复文章原貌。 Why Study Mathematics There’s something else you shouldn’t forget.

The ministry is now soliciting public and professional opinions on the draft guideline. The coming guideline aims to regulate and standardize sex reassignment surgery, part of a treatment for gender identity disorder in transsexuals. Experts 52 nearly 2,000 Chinese have undergone sex-change surgery while 100,000 to 400,000 are still considering it. However, no official number is available. In the draft, the MOH sets 53 criteria for both surgical candidates and medical institutions. Candidates for the surgery must be older than 20 and single, the draft guideline said.

Police must also agree to change the sex status on the identity card of the 57 receiver before the operation can, take 58 .

The operation is more than a medical procedure due 62 its huge social and legal consequences. Doctors should make it clear to those 63 sex-change surgeries that the option always remains to continue to live in the original role. The guideline requires surgeons to tell patients about other options 64 hormone therapy. They are also required to explain the risks involved, and underlying social barriers including discrimination, and administrative recognition and approval.

Scotland:A Land of Wisdom In the 1740s,the famous French philosopher Voltaire said‚We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilization.?That's not a bad advertisement for any country when it comes to attracting people to search for a first-class education. According to the American author Arthur Herman,the Scots invented the modern world itself.He argues that Scottish thinkers and intellectuals worked out many of the most important ideas on which modern life depends-everything from the scientific method to market economics.Their ideas did not just spread among intellectuals,but to those people in business,government and the sciences who actually shaped the Western world. It all started during the period that historians call the Scottish Enlightenment,启蒙 运动,,which is usually seen as taking place between the years 1740 and 1800.Before that,philosophy was mainly concemed with religion.For the thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment,the proper study of humanity was mankind itself. Their reasoning was practical.For the philosopher David Hume,humanity was the right subject for philosophy because we can examine human behavior and so find real evidence of how people think and feel.And from that we can make judgments about the societies we live in and make concrete suggestions about how they can be improved,for universal benefit. Hume's enquiry into the nature of knowledge laid the foundations for the scientific method-the pursuit of truth through experiment.His friend and fellow resident of Edinburgh,Adam Smith,famously applied the study of mankind to the ways in which mankind does business.Trade,he argued,was a form of infrmation.In pursuing our own interests through trading in markets,we all come to benefit each other. Smith's idea has dominated modern views of economics.It also has wide applications.He was one of the philosophers to point out that nations can become rich,free and powerful through peace,trade and invention. Although the Scottish Enlightenment ended a long time ago,the ideas which evolved at that time still underpin,构成……的基础,our theories of human exchange and enquiry.It also exists in Scotland itself in an educational tradition that combines academic excellence with orientation,方向,. 16.Scotland is the right place to receive a first-class education. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 17.According to Arthur Herman,the Scots developed many important ideas which modern life depends on. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 18.Philosophers had come to know the importance of studying humanity even before the Scottish Enlightenment took place. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 19.David Hume was the first philosopher to study mankind. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 20.Smith's idea has extensive applications. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 21.Our current theories of human exchange and enquiry have nothing to do with the ideas developed during the Scottish Enlightenment.

A Origin of the tie B British ties C Uselessness of the tie D Old-fashioned ties E Role of the tie F Signs of a tieless era 27.The British Medical Association suggested that. 28.Ties were first worn by the Croatian soldiers. 29.People wore different ties in Britain in the 19th century to show that. 30.British Prime Minister Tony Blair is a man. A they were workmen B they wrere members of different organizations C hospital doctors stop wearing ties D who does not always wear a tie E who served as mercenaries in many conflicts in the 17th century F who does not want to live like a king 第4部分:阅读理解,第31~45题，每题3分，共45分, 下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最 佳选项。 第一篇 His Own Way to Express Love Yesterday was our three-year anniversary.We didn't do anything romantic;we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future.This was pretty much what I had expected.

Another time,I had a bad quarrel with my best friend.Although I knew it was my fault,I refused to admit it.I was very angry when he insisted I apologize to her.He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake,but this was what everyone should do.The next morning,I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.

If you need to leave the table during the meal,place your napkin on your chair as a signal to your server that you will be returning.Once the meal is over,place your napkin neatly on the table to the right of your dinner plate.Do not refold it. Use a napkin only for your mouth.Never use it for your nose,face or forehead.

Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English,many can't understand why the issue is so controversial,有争议的,. ‚The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues,?says Dick Tucker,a social scientist at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University.‚It's related to a worry about the changing demography,人口统计,of the US.It's a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence.? In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding.John Adams lobbied,游说,in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language.But his proposal died,since lawmakers saw it as a royalist,保皇主义者,attempt to define personal behavior. Since then,the country hasn't had a national language,but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on. The emotions surrounding language resurface,再次浮现,not because people feel comfortable with English.It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages,says Walt Wolfram,a professor at North Carolina State University. ‚Language is never about language,?he says. According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report,of 209 million Americans over 18 years old,172 million speak only English at home.About 37 million speak languages other than English.Among them,6.5 million speak poor English and 3.1 million don't speak English at all. 41.What are the two declarations concerned with? A.The status of the English language. B.The protection of new languages. C.The rights to speak one's mother tongue. D.The improvement of the English language. 42.Who suggested in the 18th century that English should be protected? A.Walt Wolfram. B.John Adams. C.Royalists. D.Dick Tucker. 43.Which of the following is the current debate NOT related to? A.The immigration issues. B.The changing demography. C.The worry about the new languages. D.The US's military strength. 44.Which statement is true according to the 2000 US Census Bureau report? A.172 million Americans speak only English in their work places. B.37 million Americans speak English. C.209 million Americans are above the age of 18. D.6.5 million Americans speak good English. 45.The phrase‚kicked around?,paragraph 4,could be best replaced by A.‚invented?. B.‚formed?. C.‚shaped?.
