Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices markedA.,B.,C. andD.. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Preparing for Computer Disasters Fires, power surges, and floods, they're all facts of life. We read about them in the morning paper and see them on the evening news. We sympathize with the victims and commiserate over their bad luck. We also shake our heads at the digital consequences—melted computers, system failures, destroyed data. Yet, somehow, many of us continue to live by that old mantra of denial: "It won't happen to me." Well, the truth is, at some point you'll probably have to deal with at least one disaster. That's just how it goes, and in most aspects of our lives we do something about it. We buy insurance. We stow away provisions. We even make disaster plans and run drills. But for some reason, computer disaster recovery is a blind spot for many of us. It shouldn't be. Home computers contain some of our most important information, both business and personal, and making certain our data survives a disaster should be a priority. Moreover, even the smallest disaster can be a serious disruption. Personal computers have become an integral part of the smooth-running household. We use them to communicate, shop, and do homework, and they're even more vital to home office users. When home office computers go down, many small businesses grind to a halt. Fortunately, taking steps to recover from disasters and minimize their effects is quite straightforward. With a good offsite storage plan and the right tools, you can bounce back quickly and easily from minor computer disasters. And, should a major calamity strike, you can rest assured your data is safe. Offsite Storage: Major Disasters House fires and floods are among the most devastating causes of personal computer destruction. That's why a solid offsite backup and recovery plan is essential. Although many home users faithfully back up their hard drives, many would still lose all their data should their houses flood or burn. That's because they keep their backups relatively close to their computers. Their backup disks might not be in the same room as their computers—tucked away in a closet or even the garage—but they're not nearly far enough away should a serious disaster strike. So, it's important to back up your system to a removable medium and to store it elsewhere. There are many ways to approach offsite storage. It starts with choices of backup tools and storage medium. Disaster situations are stressful, and your recovery tools shouldn't add to that stress. They must be dependable and intuitive, making it easy to schedule regular backups and to retrieve files in a pinch. They must also be compatible with your choice of backup medium. Depending on your tools, you can back up to a variety of durable disk types—from CDs to Jazz drives to remote network servers. Although many of these storage media have high capacity, a backup tool with compression capabilities is a big plus, eliminating the inconvenience of multiple disks or large uploads. Once you select your tools and a suitable medium, you need to find a remote place to store your backups. The options are endless. However, no matter where you choose, be sure the site is secure, easily accessible, and a good distance away from your home. You may also want to consider using an Internet-based backup service. More and more service providers are offering storage space on their servers, and uploading files to a remote location has become an attractive alternative to conventional offsite storage. Of course, before using one of these services, make certain you completely trust the service provider and its security methods. Whatever you do, schedule backups regularly and store them far away from your home. Come What May: Handling the Garden Variety Computer Crisis Not all home computer damage results from physical disaster. Many less menacing problems can also hobble your PC or destroy your information. Systems crash, kids "rearrange" data, adults inadvertently delete files. Although these events might not seem calamitous, they can have serious implications. So, once again, it's important to be prepared. As with physical disasters, regular backups are essential. However, some of these smaller issues require a response that's more nuanced than wholesale backup and restoration. To deal with less-than-total disaster, your tool set must he both powerful and agile. For example, when a small number of files are compromised, you may want to retrieve those files alone. Meanwhile, if just your settings are affected, you'll want a simple way to roll back to your preferred setup. Yet, should your operating system fail, you'll need a way to boot your computer and perform large-scale recovery. Computer crises come in all shapes and sizes, and your backup and recovery tools must be flexible enough to meet each challenge. The Right Tools for the Right Job: Gearing up for Disaster When disaster strikes, the quality of your backup tools can make the difference between utter frustration and peace of mind. Symantec understands this and offers a range of top-quality backup and recovery solutions. Norton GoBack is the perfect tool for random system crashes, failed installations, and inadvertent deletions. With this powerful and convenient solution, it's simple to retrieve overwritten files or to bring your system back to its pre-crash state. Norton Ghost is a time-tested home office solution. Equipped to handle full-scale backups, it's also handy for cloning hard drives and facilitating system upgrades. As a favorite choice for IT professionals, it's the ideal tool for the burgeoning home office. You can buy Norton Ghost and Norton GoBack separately, or get them both when you purchase Norton System Works. Life's disasters, large and small, often catch us by surprise. However, with a little planning and the right tools, you can reduce those disasters to bumps in the road. So, don't wait another day. Buy a good set of disaster recovery tools, set up an automatic backup schedule, and perform a dry run every now and again. Then, rest easy. 2、 You should ______so as to minimize the effects of computer disasters.

We should also not forget in many of the world's countries 38 , chronic water shortage, is a fact of life, especially in the African Sahel region 39 the Sahara desert. Scientists and engineers around the world have made great advances in earthquake engineering. It is, of course, 40 physically to move cities such as Tokyo and San Francisco that have been built in earthquake 41 . But most often it is not the earthquake that 42 people, it is the 43 buildings, bridges and other structures that cause deaths, and the 44 of that happening can be greatly reduced by better building programs. 45 . 46 we have catapulted (弹射) hundreds of species of plants and animals into extinction, at the same time possibly wrecking our own long-term prospects for survival. 47 . Part ? Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answer on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage. To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies. No child imitates(模仿)every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other examples. Therefore we must turn to a more subtle theory than "Monkey see, monkey do." Look at it from the child's point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority(权威)or expert who can show what to do. There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to attain his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message, he is told emphatically that such a racket(喧闹)is unpleasant, that he should walk into the next room and say it quietly. Thus, the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly. One of the early things the child learns is that he gets some actions and criticizes others. If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves. In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wishes to avoid. If the pupil wants to be a good violinist, he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players; while some other person may most influence his approach to books. Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations, imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success. 48、 How does a child learn to grow up according to the author? 49、 In seeking a response if he does not have a ready one, the child observes a model and tries to achieve______. 50、 It's observed that a child must adopt responses approved by______. 51、 Since a child is particular about whom he tries to model on, he tends to choose a person with______. 52、 By imitating a person to his liking, the child tends to become______. Section B Passage One Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices markedA.,B.,C. andD.. you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. Banking is about money; and no other familiar commodity(商品)arouses such excesses of passion and dislike. Nor is there any other about which more nonsense is talked. The type of thing that comes to mind is not what is normally called economics, which is inexact rather than nonsensical, and only in the same way as all sciences are at the point where they try to predict people's behavior and its consequences. Indeed most social sciences and, for example, medicine could probably be described in the same way. However, it is common to bear assertions of the kind "if you were left alone on a desert island, a few seed potatoes Would be more useful to you than a million pounds" as though this proved something important about money except the undeniable fact that it would not be of much use to anyone in a situation where very few of us are at all likely to find ourselves. Money in fact is a token or symbolic object, exchangeable on demand by its holders for goods and services. Its use for these purposes is universal except within a small number of primitive agricultural communities. Money and price mechanism(机制), i.e., the changes in prices expressed in money terms of different goods and services, are the means by which all modern societies regulate demand and supply for these things. Especially important are the relative changes in prices of different goods and services compared with each other. To take random examples: the price of house-building has over the past five years risen a good deal faster than that of domestic appliances like refrigerators, but slower than that of motor insurance or French Impressionist paintings. This fact has complex implications for students of the industry, trade unionism, town planning, insurance companies, fine-art auctions, and politics. Unpacking these implications is what economics is about, but their implications for bankers are quite different. In general, in modern industrialized societies, prices of services or goods produced in a context requiring high service content (e. g. a meal in a restaurant) are likely to rise more rapidly than prices of goods capable of mass-production(批 量生产) on a large scale. It is also a characteristic of highly developed economics that the number of workers employed in service industries tends to rise and that of workers employed in manufacturing to fall. The discomfort this truth causes has been an important source of tension in Western political life for many years and is likely to remain so for many more. 53、 According to the passage, economics is______. A. similar to other social sciences because a lot of nonsense is talked about it B. different from social sciences because it can foretell the tomorrow C. similar to other social sciences because it can foretell the tomorrow D. different from sciences such as medicine 54、 In the writer's view, the assertion that money would be useless on a desert island A. illustrates one limitation to the importance of money B. is only of importance to people stranded in such places C. proves that there are many situations in which money is irrelevant D. tells us nothing of significance about money in a certain situation 55、 Modern societies control supply and demand______. A. by direct intervention in the pricing of goods and services B. by means of money and the price mechanism C. by keeping a watchful eye on relative price changes D. by fixing prices in specific industries 56、 The writer suggests that economics is concerned with______. A. explaining to bankers the price changes B. understanding the effect of relative price changes C. trying to understand why some prices rise fast D. the same financial considerations as banking 57、 In developed economics, service industries______. A. tend to employ an increasing number of people B. employ more people than manufacturing industries do C. cause problems for the white-collar unions D. try to reduce their employees to combat rising costs Passage Two Questions 57 to 61 are based on the fallowing passage. Our culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gesture we use is understood by everyone. We do not realize that waving good-bye is the way to summon(召唤) a person from the Philippines to one's side, or that in Italy and some Latin American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell. Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying German after World War ? and marked the GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that "gift" means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm's length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable. Our linguistic and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take no notice of the tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world. Even here in the United States, we make few concessions to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual(多语的)guided tours. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them. When we go abroad, we tend to cluster(聚集)in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken. The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives— usually the richer — who speak English. Our business dealings, as well as the nation's diplomacy(外交的), are conducted through interpreters. For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance. After all, America was the most powerful country of the free world, the distributor of needed funds and goods. But all that is past. American dollars no longer buy all good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing. A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may not always be the upper land. 58、 It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably______. A. stand still B. jump aside C. step forward D. draw back 59、 The author gives many examples to criticize Americans for their______. A. cultural self-centeredness B. casual manners C. indifference towards foreign visitors D. arrogance towards other cultures 60、 When Americans go abroad, they______. A. are isolated by the local people B. are not well informed due to the language barrier C. tend to get along well with the natives D. need interpreters in hotels and restaurants 61、 According to the author, Americans' cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance will______. A. affect their image in the new era B. cut themselves off from the outside world C. limit their role in world affairs D. weaken the position of the US dollar 62、 The author's intention in writing this article is to make Americans realize that______. A. it is dangerous to ignore their foreign friends B. it is important to maintain their leading role in world affairs C. it is necessary to use several languages in public places D. it is time to get acquainted with other cultures Part ?

Writing 1、[范文] The Safety of Food Food safety has become a rising concern among Chinese citizens after a series of food contamination accidents occurred across the country in recent years. In 2006, the country's food safety watchdog found that several companies were producing red-yolk eggs contaminated with dangerous red Sudan dyes. Even international fast food KFC was accused of adding cancer-causing Sudan-1 to its roast chicken wings. The most notorious case involved the recent tainted milk powder incident that has caused kidney stone in tens of thousands of infants. Food safety incidents happened so frequently mainly because of the food producer. In order to sell more products and make more profits, some food producers take the risk of breaking the law and may deliberately add various dangerous chemicals to make their food look or taste better. From my point of view, to guarantee the food safety, firstly we should improve the supervision mechanism. Secondly, we should severely punish the criminals and all those responsible. In this way, our food will conform to the standard and thus become safer and safer.

History's not like math—you always feel like you could have said a little bit more to answer the question. M: So, how do you think what you did? W: Pretty well. I was running out of things to say towards the end, when I was writing about the causes of the Great Depression. M: Wait a minute. That was only the second question. You mean you didn't even do Questions Three and Four. W: Of course I did them. I just didn't do them in that order. With essay tests, I always read through the whole test before I begin. Then I answer the question I feel most confident about first. I knew the stuff for Question Three. M: You mean the question on “presidential power”? W: Right. I had prepared for that exact question, so I did it first. M: Yeah, but why not save time for the hard stuff? W: I look at it this way: if I can't do everything, I'll do what I know best. Plus, while I'm writing the easy questions, I often bring some things that help me with the hard ones to my mind. M: You know, I did recall something in the middle of Question Four that I should have included in my first essay. But there wasn't time to go back. I really wish I could redo that answer.

Thank you for coming. W: Thank you. M: Meyers, how do you describe your film? Are you satisfied with it? W: Well, I am happy to see it top the U.S. weekend box office. Have you seen the film? Ha, it tells the story of Nick Marshall, a Chicago advertising executive. He acquires the power to read women's minds, not just what they say but also what he hears them think. That's amazing, isn't it? I like the way Gibson interprets his role. M: Yeah, Marshall regards himself as a gift to women. I saw the movie. Then why do you choose Mel Gibson? We know, audiences usually see him playing a man with a strong typical man side, such as in his previous action movies like “Brave Heart”, while “What Women Want” is what you termed as an old-fashioned romantic comedy. W: You are right(That's precisely why I choose him. Gibson has been known as a joker on the set and a fan of silly comedy, but has not done many romantic comedies. I just want him to display his“feminine”potential in“What Women Want”. And I am grateful to see that he has done a good job. M: What do you want audiences to learn from this film? W: About Women. We should learn about women. They are individuals. What they appreciate is when you make the effort, even if you are not quite getting something they say. 22(What is the title of the program? [答案解析] 细节题。对话一开始男士就说Welcome to“Movie on the Show”(欢迎来到“Movie on the Show”)，并且正文就一部正在上映的电影展开对话，由此可知“Movie on the Show” 是节目的名称。答案是B。 [圈定关键词] Movie on Display, Show, Best-selling Movie, Movie Stars [听前预测] 本段对话出现很多与电影相关的词，说明谈话内容与电影有关。选项第一个单词的字母 大写，问题可能为topic或title。 24、B [解析] Which of the following is true about the movie?

[答案解析] 推断题。男士问女士为什么让Gibson担任男主角，女士回答说Gibson has been known as a joker on the set and a fan of silly comedy(Gibson在片场是有名的喜欢开玩 笑的人，而且他还是个喜剧迷)，也就是说Meyers认为Gibson has necessary ability(有这 个能力)演好这个角色。答案是C。 [圈定关键词] Gibson, feminine roles, ability, satisfaction [听前预测] 本段对话出现很多与电影相关的词，说明谈话内容与电影有关。选项是对于Gibson作 为一个演员的评价，主要是他的优势，因此问题可能是选择他扮演电影角色的原因。 26、D [解析] What does the movie try to tell audience?

When you arrived on campus today, after a decade, you were probably impressed by two changes at State: one, the absence of University of Tower, the first building constructed on the campus, and a historic landmark for many years; and two, the disappearance of parking lots on main campus. Two years ago University Tower was inspected and found to be unsafe. In spite of efforts to restore it, it was necessary to level the building. A bell tower was constructed on the same site, built for the most part using the good brick that was saved from the original building. The original bells were also preserved. As for the parking lots, they have been replaced by grass, trees, and pedestrian walkways. Parking is now located in parking garages on the North and West sides of the campus. Two more subtle changes have occurred within the past decade. One is the creation and expansion of the Division of Continuing Education for the Community, including a Saturday and summer enrichment program for children, and an afternoon and evening special interest program for adults. The other is the addition of the student population of many young people from abroad, especially students from Japan, Latin America, and the Middle East. Most international students are enrolled in the College of Engineering and the College of Business. And so, State is a different place, but like University Tower, it is built of the same brick. We are still committed to the same age-old ideals “quality education for our citizens”. but we have extended our commitment beyond the borders of our state and nation to encompass the citizens and nations of the world. 26(What is the occasion for the man's speech? [答案解析] 细节题。根据短文的第一句话It is great privilege for me to be invited to speak at the tenth year reunion of State University's graduating class.(能 被邀请在我们毕业十年的班级聚会上发表演说是我莫大的荣幸。)因此事件为班级聚会。答案是B。 [圈定关键词] graduation, reunion, building, ceremony [听前预测] 根据选项中出现的student, class，campus, university等词可以推断文章 内容同校园生活有关。应该是问事件的内容。 28、C [解析] In what aspect does State University remain the same? [答案解析] 细节题。根据文中的原句We are still committed to the same age-old ideals“quality education for our citizens”(我们依然恪守多年来的理念:为国民提供 素质教育)中的关键词the same age-old ideals及其后的同位语，我们可以得出结论State University多年来恪守的理念没有变，而根据文中提到的其他信息:A主校园，B学生数量，D继续 教育学院的项目，都发生了很大的改变。答案是C。 [圈定关键词] main campus, student population, age-old ideals, continuing education [听前预测] 根据选项中出现的student, class，campus, university等词可以推断文章 内容同校园生活有关。应该是细节题，要注意辨析。 29、B [解析] Why was University Tower torn down? [答案解析] 细节题。本题问“为什么学校钟塔被拆毁?”文中有一句话涉及到钟塔，即Two years ago University Tower was inspected and found to be unsafe. In spite of efforts to restore it, it was necessary to level the building. (两年前学校钟塔在检查 中被发现不安全。虽然重建会很麻烦，但还是不得不拆毁它。)可知，University Tower之所以 被拆倒是因为它被发现很不安全，答案B。 [圈定关键词] bell tower, unsafe, parking lot, preserve [听前预测] 根据选项中出现的student, class，campus, university等词可以推断文章 内容同校园生活有关。因果关系词because提示我们要注意文章中因果关系的表述。 30、C [解析] What is the main idea of the man's speech? [答案解析] 推理判断题。短文前半部分主要讲述校园内大的变化和学校的一些小的变化。最后 的主题句And so, State is a different place, but like University Tower, it is built of the same brick. We are still committed to the same age-old ideals“quality education for our citizens”(因此，学校发生了一些变化，但就像校园里的钟塔一样，它依 然是用同样的砖瓦建成的。我们依然恪守多年来的理念:为国民提供素质教育)传达的信息是。虽然 校园里发生了一些变化，但State University多年来恪守的理念没有变，选项C符合原文的意思。 A一切都变了，显然不对;B虽然校园看起来还是一样，但学校发生了一些变化，这与文中提到的校 园内发生了很大的变化不符;D过去的十年内校园里一切都保持不变，这也与原文不符。答案是C。 [圈定关键词] change, campus, commitment, the same [听前预测] 根据选项中出现的student, class，campus, university等词可以推断文章 内容同校园生活有关。可能考查的是文章的主要内容，因此要格外注意有关Campus和State University的描述。 31、C [解析] 30-32 One of the most popular literary figures in American literature is a woman who spent almost half. of her long life in China, a country on a continent thousands of miles from the Unite States. In her lifetime she earned this country's most highly acclaimed literary award, the Pulitzer Prize, and also the most prestigious form of literary recognition in the world, the Nobel Prize for Literature. Pearl S. Buck was almost a household word throughout much of her lifetime because of her productive literary output, which consisted of some eighty-five published works, including several dozen novels, six collections of short stories, fourteen books for children and more than a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty years old, some twenty-five volumes were awaiting publication. Many of those books were set in China, the land in which she spent so much of her life. Her books and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and the West. As the product of those two cultures she became, as she described herself, “mentally double-sided”. Her unique background made her into an unusually interesting and versatile human being. As we examine the life of Pearl Buck, we cannot help but be aware that we are in fact meeting three separate people: a wife and mother, an internationally famous writer and a humanitarian and a charitable person. One cannot really get to know Pearl Buck without learning about each of the three. Though honored in her lifetime with the William Dean Howell Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in addition to the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, Pearl Buck as a total human being, not only a famous author, is a fascinating subject of study. 30(What is the author's main purpose in the passage? [答案解析] 主旨题。判断作者的写作目的，要同文章的主要内容联系起来。本文主要介绍了 Pearl Buck(赛珍珠)的写作背景a product of two cultures(两种文化的产物)以及她广泛 的兴趣关注a wife and mother, an internationally famous writer and a humanitarian and a charitable person(她是一个妻子，母亲，还是一个享誉国际的作家，人道主义者和慈 善家)。选项C是对此的最佳概括，答案是C。 [圈定关键词] Pearl Buck, criticism, Chinese literature, background, interests, influence [听前预测] 根据选项中的关键词，我们发现有人物的名字Pearl Buck(赛珍珠)出现，该文章 可能是对其事迹或生平的描述。应是考查作者的态度，要注意这方面的信息。 32、A [解析] According to the passage, why was Pearl Buck considered an unusual figure in American literature? [答案解析] 细节题。文中提到Many of those books were set in China, the land in which she spent so much of her life. Her books and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and the West. (她生命的大部分时间是在 中国度过的，因此她的很多作品都以那里为背景。她的生活和著作都成为东西方文化交流的桥梁。) 由此可知，赛珍珠之所以被认为是美国文学史上的非凡人物是因为她的写作被视为不同文化之间的桥 梁，答案是A。 [圈定关键词] different culture, publish, half of her books abroad, awards, first success [听前预测] 根据选项中的关键词，我们发现有人物的名字Pearl Buck(赛珍珠)出现，该文章 可能是对其事迹或生平的描述。根据选项中的because，听的时候要注意与因果关系有关的表述。 33、B [解析] What is the author's attitude toward Pearl Buck? [答案解析] 推理判断题。判断作者的态度，要看他在文章中所使用的词汇，尤其是形容词和副 词。根据one of the most popular literary figures in American literature(美 国历史上最著名的文学家之一)，an unusually interesting and versatile human being(幽 默和多才多艺的人)，honored in her lifetime(享誉一生)，a famous author(著名作家)， a fascinating subject of study(一个迷人的研究对象)，可以看出作者使用了大量表示褒 义的形容词，答案是B。 [圈定关键词] Indifferent, Admiring, Sympathetic, Tolerant [听前预测] 根据选项中的关键词，我们发现有人物的名字Pearl Buck(赛珍珠)出现，该文章 可能是对其事迹或生平的描述。考查作者对短文中所谈论的人物的态度。 34、A [解析] 33-35 Millions of years ago, whales lived on land and walked on four legs. Today， whales still have small bones that are the remains of their hind legs, but these bones can only be seen on the inside of the whale. No one knows why whales left the land to live in the water. However, scientists can imagine that when the whales changed their environment, their bodies underwent a change—taking on a more fish-like appearance. This new form offered less resistance to the water, enabling the whales to swim faster. Despite their fish-like form, whales are not fish. A whale will drown, just as a man will, if it stays under water too long. When a whale is under water, it closes its nostrils tightly and holds its breath. The air in its lungs becomes very hot and full of water vapor. When the whale rises to the surface and exhales, its hot breath produces a column of water vapor that rises high in the air. A man produces the same effect when he exhales warm air on a cold morning. Whales are classified as mammals because they bear their young, rather than laying eggs, and because the mother whales give the babies milk. Like other mammals, whales have warm blood. Their blood stays at the same temperature, even when they move from hot to cold water. They keep warm in cold water because they have a thick layer of fat just under their skins. This fat is called blubber, and it is thicker on whales that spend their lives in cold water. Almost all land mammals, except man, have hair on their bodies to keep them warm, but whales, which have very few hairs, are kept warm by their fat. 33(How does a whale keep itself warm? [答案解析] 细节题。根据文中提到的They keep warm in cold water because they have a thick layer of fat just under their skins.(因为它们皮下有一层厚厚的脂肪，所以 在冷水中可以用来保暖。)可知，鲸靠皮下脂肪取暖，答案是A。 [圈定关键词] fat, moving, blood temperature, hot air [听前预测] 根据选项中出现的关键词可以推断文章同某种动物有关，因为单词whale的出现， 猜测该种动物可能是鲸鱼。同方式有关。 35、B [解析] What do we learn about the blood temperature of a whale? [答案解析] 细节题。文中提到的Their blood stays at the same temperature, even when they move from hot to cold water.(即使是从暖水游到冷水，它们的体温也保持不 变。)表明，鲸的体温是恒定不变的，答案是B。 [圈定关键词] blubber, the same, water temperature, grows older [听前预测] 根据选项中出现的关键词可以推断文章同某种动物有关，因为单词whale的出现， 猜测该种动物可能是鲸鱼。同温度有关。 36、A [解析] In what way do whales distinguish themselves from other land mammals? [答案解析] 细节题。根据原文中的最后一句话Almost all land mammals, except man, have hair on their bodies to keep them warm, but whales, which have very few hairs, are kept warm by their fat.(除了人以外，几乎所有的陆地哺乳动物都靠身上的毛 取暖。而鲸鱼身上几乎没有毛，是靠它们的脂肪取暖。)可知，鲸和其他哺乳动物的区别在于取暖方 式不同。选项A同原文的意思一致。B、C、D选项在文章中均有提及，都是鲸鱼与其他哺乳动物的相 似之处。答案是A。 [圈定关键词] hairs, bear their young, lungs, hind legs [听前预测] 根据选项中出现的关键词可以推断文章同某种动物有关，因为单词whale的出现， 猜测该种动物可能是鲸鱼。同该种动物的特点有关。 Section C 37、hurricanes [解析] 36-46 In the past hundred years a million people have died in earthquakes, another million have been killed by hurricanes and tornadoes and 9 million have lost their lives in floods. In addition to this many millions more have died as a result of famine and disease. We should also not forget in many of the world's countries drought, chronic water shortage, is a fact of life, especially in the African Sahel region bordering the Sahara desert. Scientists and engineers around the world have made great advances in earthquake engineering. It is, of course, unfeasible physically to move cities such as Tokyo and San Francisco that have been built in earthquake zones. But most often it is not the earthquake that kills people, it is the collapsing buildings, bridges and other structures that cause deaths, and the likelihood of that happening can be greatly reduced by better building programs. Finally, perhaps we need to consider the natural disaster that we are causing ourselves. Through our mismanagement of the planet's resources we have catapulted (弹射) hundreds of species of plants and animals into extinction, at the same time possibly wrecking our own long-term prospects for survival. Maybe this is one disaster that could be averted if we are willing to act with a sense of responsibility. 空前的介词by和空后的并列成分and tornadoes提示所填词为名词，而且意义与tornado一样表 示自然灾害。hurricanes意为“飓风”，此空还要注意名词的单复数形式。 38、drought 分析句子结构可知所填词为句子主语，chronic water shortage是所填词的同位语，意为“长期持久的缺水”，所以所填词含义应为“旱灾，干旱”。drought意为“旱灾”。 39、bordering 分析句子结构可知所填词构成的短语在句子中作the African Sahel region的定语，应为表示两个地点方位关系的非谓语动词或介词。bordering意为“在……边界，毗邻”。 40、unfeasible 空前的it is和空后的不定式结构to do sth.提示所填词为形容词。不定式部分to move cities such as Tokyo and San Francisco显然是不可能办到的事，所填词可能表达“不可能，不可行”的含义。 unfeasible意为“不可行的”。 41、zones 空前的介词in提示所填词为名词。根据常识东京和旧金山都建造在地震带上，所填词可能表达“地区，地带”含义。zones意为“区”，注意单复数形式。 42、kills 分析句子结构可知所填词在从句中作谓语，根据上下文时态可知应为动词的第三人称单数形式。由下文的it is the… buildings，bridges and other structures that cause deaths，可知此处所填词表示“导致死亡”的意思。kill意为“致死”。 43、collapsing 空前的定冠词the和空后的名词building提示所填词为形容词或作定语的分词。联系上下文的 earthquake和buildings，bridges等根据常识可以猜测所填词表示“倒塌”的含义。collapsing意为“倒塌，崩溃”。 44、likelihood 空前的定冠词the和空后的of短语提示所填词为名词。上文已经提到建筑物倒塌造成人员伤亡，本句可以通过好的建筑规划减少人类的死亡等等，所填词可能表示“可能性，几率”的含义。 likelihood“可能，可能性”。 45、Finally, perhaps we need to consider the natural disaster that we are causing ourselves或:Finally, maybe we should think about the natural disaster we're causing ourselves [解析] 此句的关键词为consider，natural disaster，cause。可以说，掌握了这几个词，就掌握了句子的整体意思，不过在编辑中要注意句子的整体性，不要犯时态或单复数等方面的语法错误。 46、Through our mismanagement of the planet's resources或:By way of our mismanagement of the earth's resources [解析] 此句的关键词为mismanagement，resources，词汇相对较少用，不过通过下文可以推断出此空应为人类对资源、环境方面的错误做法，再结合所听内容得出答案。另外，要注意名词的单复数形式。 47、Maybe this is one disaster that could be averted if we are willing to act with a sense of responsibility或:Maybe we could avoid this disaster if we are willing to take responsibility and take actions [解析] 此句较长，应把握disaster，act，sense等关键词和句子的主要意思。avert意为“防止，避免”，a sense of responsibility意为“责任感”。另外要注意句子的完整性，不要出现语法方面的错误。 [听前预测] 大家可以在放音之前略读全文，通过阅读短文的首尾句，捕捉关键词和高频词等，并对短文主题和内容进行预测，这样带着目的去听，会有很好的效果。 这是一篇关于自然灾害和环境保护的文章。本文的第一段开篇点题，介绍了earthquake， hurricane， floods，famine，disease，drought，chronic water shortage等威胁人的生命的自然灾害因素，揭示了这些灾害的毁灭性。紧接着，第二段专门介绍了地震，指出地震造成人们死亡的原因和降低伤亡率的正确途径，即设计出更好的房屋建筑项目。第三段分析人类自身引发自然灾害的因素，指出动植物的灭绝可能同时威胁到人类的长期生存，并呼吁大家增加保护环境的责任感以减少人为灾害的发生。 文中出现频率较高的词汇往往与主题密切相关。本文中的典型高频词有earthquakes，kill， death， disaster等。通过浏览文章和分析这些高频词可以为推断文章大意，确定文章主题提供 有益的线索。 Part ?

(认为儿童通过模仿学习，因此认定给儿童树立榜样便是教育儿童的诀窍，这种观点把问题简单化了。) 而通过阅读全文，我们能了解到本文的中心和重点就是探讨孩子在模仿中的各种表现和方法。 49、certain ends 细节题。根据题目定位到文章的第二段，He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends.(小孩追求的反应是指要得到“某种结果”。)因此得出答案。 50、his social group 细节题。根据题目定位到文章第三段最后一句话If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves.(如 果一个人希望得到别人的支持并保持自己的尊严，他所作出的反应必须要得到同一社会阶层认同。) 51、preferred social status 细节题。根据文章第四段第一、二句In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wishes to avoid. (研 究各种动作可能会引起的反应时。孩子并不会随机选择榜样。他会模仿那些看起来优秀的人或他喜欢 的人，而对于处在自己不欣赏的社会地位的人则并非如此。)在这里作者表明小孩选择模仿的对象并 不是随意的，而是the person who seems a good person to be like。因此推测应为a person with preferred social status。 52、89 identifying person 细节题。根据题干定位到文章的最后一段，作者说Admiration of one quality often leads US to admire a person as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure.(孩 子们很可能会因为欣赏一个人的某种品质而欣赏他整个人，然后在模仿中变得像这个人。) Section B Passage One 53、C 细节题。根据题干定位答案到第一段中的第三句话and only in the same way as all sciences are at the point where they try to predict people's behavior and its consequences.(它和其他所有科学的共同之处是它们都设法预测人们的行为及其后果。)选项A类 似其他社会科学，因为它讲了许多废话，B不同于社会科学，这些科学试图预测人们的行为方式，D 不同于类似医学的科学，都和原文意思不符。答案是C。 54、D 推理判断题。根据题干定位答案到第二段第一句However, it is common to bear assertions of the kind“if you were left alone on a desert island, a few seed potatoes would be more useful to you than a million pounds”as though this proved something important about money except the undeniable fact that it would not be of much use to anyone in a situation where very few of US are at all likely to find ourselves.(然而，人们通常能接受这种说法:“如果你被留在一个荒岛上，对你而言，几个马铃 薯的种子会比100万英镑更有用”，这似乎证明了关于金钱重要性的道理，但却忽视了一个不可否认 的事实:在这种环境下金钱的确没有什么用，但我们当中没有几个人会真的发现自己处于这个境地。) 这句话比较长，相对也比较难懂。首先句子通过一个类比说钱没那么重要，但是紧接着作者又说，实 际这种说法只能证明这一不可否认的事实:我们没有几个人可能会生活在那种环境中。也就是说这个 假设其实是无意义的，文章其实并没有讲到金钱在那种环境中的意义。选项D的意思是，没有告诉我 们有关金钱在一定环境中的意义，是正确的。A选项说阐明金钱重要性的有限度;B选项说金钱只对 处于那种困境中的人很重要;C选项是说证明许多种情况下金钱无足轻重，都不符合题意。答案是D。 55、B 细节题。根据题干定位答案在第三段的第一句Money and price mechanism, i.e., the changes in prices expressed in money terms of different goods and services, are the means by which all modern societies regulate demand and supply for these things. (货币和价格机制，即不同商品和服务的现金支付体现了价格的变化，是现代社会词节供需关系的手 段。)抓住核心词汇money and the price mechanism就是回答这道题的关键。答案是B。 56、B 推断题。根据第三段的第二句Especially important are the relative changes in prices of different goods and services compared with each other.(特别重要的是不同商 品和服务价格的变化相互比较。)同时作者就不同商品和服务的价格变化给出具体的例子，在这一段 的最后一句作者总结道:Unpacking these implications is what economics is about(这 些潜在的影响正是经济学要阐述的问题)，这道题要综合整段文字的中心思想才能得出答案。A是说 给银行家揭示价格变化;C是说试图了解为什么价格升得很快;D是说和金融业一样的财政考虑，都 与题意不符。答案是B。 57、A 细节题。在文章的最后一段将服务性价格和制造业价格进行了比较，结果是It is also a characteristic of highly developed economics that the number of workers employed in service industries tends to rise and that of workers employed in manufacturing to fall.(这也是高度发达的经济的一个特点，在这种经济中，服务性领域雇佣的工人人数往往上 升，而制造业的人数往往下降。)B选项表述不够确切，C、 D文章均未提及。答案是A。 Passage Two 58、D 推理判断题。由题干中的Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners定位到原文第二段的最后两句，Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm's length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable. (我们往往认为自己很友好，却喜欢与别人保持至少3英尺或一臂的距离。拉丁 美洲和中东国家的人喜欢距离很近并且会有身体的接触，这会使美国人感觉不舒服。)综合四个选项， 如果别人离你太近，让你觉得不舒服，正常的做法应该为D后退，而不是A静止不动，B跳到一边，或 C向前走一步。答案是D。 59、A 推理判断题。文章第一段就说到Our culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gesture we use is understood by everyone.(我们的文化让美国人自以为是地觉得自己的语言世界通用，而且手势也尽人皆知。) 作者又在第二、四、五段举例说明美国人以自我为中心的态度。B、C、D都比较片面，属于A的具体 表现，不能说明美国人的通病。答案是A。 60、A 推理判断题。由题干定位答案到第五段When we go abroad, we tent to cluster in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken. The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives—usually the richer—who speak English. Our business dealings, as well as the nation's diplomacy, are conducted through interpreters. (美国人去国外时经常聚集在讲英语的饭店或宾馆，获得的信息或持有的态度极大 地受讲英语的当地人尤其是富人的影响。我们做生意，甚至连外交也是通过翻译进行的。)可见在别 的国家，大多数美国人是与当地人脱节的。之所以不能选择B(由于语言障碍不能很好地进行)是因为 美国人在国外不能很好交流是由于他们主观上对语言的随意性，而非客观上的语言障碍。C与原文不符，D过于片面。答案是A。 61、C 推理判断题。文章的第三段指出Our linguistic and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take no notice of the tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world.(我们在语言和文化上的盲目性和随意性导致我们忽视了其他国家的品味、手势、风俗和语言，这些正在使我们在世界上失去朋友、生意和尊重。)在文章的最后两段，作者进一步指出，美国人在文化和语言方面的盲目性过去还行得通，现在不同了。由此可见，美国人在文化和语言上的无知和盲目会限制他们在世界事务中的作用。A不符合原文，B不准确，D过于片面。答案是C。 62、D 主旨题。纵观全文，作者指出美国人如何无视别国文化，而现在行不通了，所以为了继续保持在世界事务中的重要位置，该是美国人了解别国文化的时候了。A忽视外国朋友是危险的;B保持在世界事务中的重要位置是重要的;C在公众场合使用多种外语是必要的，都不能概括本文的中心意思。答案是 D。 Part ? Cloze 63、 词义辨析题。本句的意思是:“成功或失败在很大程度上取决于你是否能扬长避短。”选项C与success前后对立，意为成功和失败。improvement改进;victory胜利;achievement成果，成就。这三个词都不合题意，答案是C。 64、 固定搭配题。to a great extent是固定短语，意思是“很大程度上”，符合题意。类似的说法还有:to a large extent, to some extent, to an extent, to a certain extent, to that extent, to the extent of等。the, some, certain都不能与great extent搭配。答案是A。 65、 固定搭配题。本句中，to a great extent为插入语，on与前面的depend搭配构成本句谓语，意为“依赖，取决于”，答案是B。 66、 语法辨析题。of与名词连用，表示具有某种性质，状态，做表语。置于句首，表示强调。正常语序为:Your attitude is of the utmost importance.答案是B。 67、 语法辨析题。本句中person为先行词，后接定语从句，因为先行词是人，关系代词选择who。答案是A。 68、 语法辨析题。本句的意思是“如果一个刚刚开始工作的人就深信自己不会喜欢或肯定做不好这项工作，那么阻碍他成功的缺点就暴露出来了。”or后面省略了主语he。首先根据上下文，此空应为形容词。 ensure是及物动词“保证”的意思;surely是副词“确实地”的意思;而certain是形容词“肯定的”的意思，但它只能用于it做主语的句子里;所以只能选sure。答案是C。 69、 固定搭配题。in one's belief意为“相信”。其他选项都不能与belief搭配。答案是D。 70、 固定搭配题。be capable of doing是固定搭配，意为“能够干……”答案是C。 71、 词义辨析与搭配题。attempt用做名词，后接介词at, make an attempt at意为“试图，努力”;如果后面接介词on，an attempt on表示“攻击”的意思。例句:The President has survived two attempts on his life. (有人两次企图行刺总统，但总统仍安然无恙。)其他两项都不能与attempt搭配。答案是D。 72、 语法辨析题。本句的意思是“具备做某一工作的技能是一个优势”此处是分词短语作主语，故选 having。答案是C。 73、 语法辨析题。本句主语是A book-keeper or a carpenter…是单数形式，根据主谓一致原则，其谓语也应当用单数is，而不是复数are。being，been都是分词，应该排除。答案是D。 74、 固定搭配题。on与前面的capitalize搭配，表示“利用”，作不定式help的补语。其他选项不能与capitalize搭配。答案是D。 75、 词义辨析题。本句的意思是“克服缺点”，应选weakness(缺点，弱点)。idea是“观点”的意思;strength是“优点”的意思;advantage是“优势”的意思，都不能与之搭配，答案是B。 76、 固定搭配题。固定短语take stock of，意为“对……估价，对……作出判断”。其他选项都不能与之搭配，答案是B。 77、 词义辨析与篇章理解题。本句的意思是:“随着更深入的阅读”，从语法角度，此处应填关联词。四个选项中，只有as能用作关联词。答案是A。 78、 语法辨析题。选项A、B、C分别是deal(处理，论述，涉及)的原形、过去分词及被动语态。根据语法和语义，此处应填将来进行时，意思是“随着书中内容的进一步深入，我们将详细论述发展和加强学习技能的具体过程。”答案是D。 79、 篇章理解题。根据上下文，这里应当指learning skills“学习技能”，而不是learned或learnt skills已学过的技能，D在这里不符合语法，答案是C。 80、 固定搭配题。固定短语to begin with，意为“首先，第一”，常用做插人语。其他介词不与之搭配，答案为 B。 81、 语法辨析题。谓语动词pause后，examine又是动词原形，所以这里应当选to，可构成动词不定式，做目的状语。其余选项都是介词，不合题意。答案是A。 82、 词义辨析与篇章理解题。本句对全文进行总结概括，与文章的开头of the utmost importance is your attitude相呼应，故选attitude。选项A、B、D都不符合题意。答案是C。 Part ? Translation 83、take/run the risk of doing 本题是考查“冒险做某事”:run/take the risk of doing sth.这个固定搭配的表达，注意介词of后面要加动词的ing形式。另外类似的表达还有take a risk(s)冒险。例句:Someone should take a risk, although it is dangerous.(这个任务很危险，但总得有人去冒险。) 84、Whatever you say 本题考查“no matter+疑问词”或“疑问词+后缀-ever”的用法，no matter what=whatever，但no matter what不能引导主语从句和宾语从句。本题空格处为主语从句，所以要用whatever。 85、resort to force 本句考查“诉诸武力”:resort to force这一固定用法。注意resort to这个短语在应用时通常后接不良的或令人不开心的手段、方式。另外，介词to后要接名词或动词的ing形式。例句:When her money ran out, she resorted to stealing((她花光了钱，就去偷窃。) 86、Except for a half hour or so 本题考查的是“除了”:except for这一短语的用法。另外，except与except for有时可以通用，不过，一般情况下，except for可置于句首，而except则不能。另外，表示“大约”除了常用的about外，还可以后置or so。 87、Some freshmen make up their minds 此题的考点是“决定做某事”:make up one's mind to do sth的用法，注意介词to后要接动词原形。另外句子中的pursue除了文中的“继续从事”还有“追寻，追捕”的意思。例句:The police realized that they were pursuing the wrong man.(警察意识到他们追错了人。)
