Passage Three? 内容概要:? 本文讨论的是科学的进步与人类的发展。三百年以来，我们一直在从事各种科学活动，试图利用科学，揭开科学的神秘面纱，从而构建现代文明。但是，科学发展到现在还只是个开端，人类在各项研究方面都需要继续探索和努力，只有这样，人类才能不断提高对自身的认识。? 31.【答案】C。? 【译文】与第一段内容相悖的是：现代文明依赖科学的发展，因此所有的人都毫无异议地支持科技的进步。? 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。? 【详细解答】文章第一段提到：...maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument.也就是说，对于将科学继续进行下去，人们观点不一。并且下文就不同的观点进行了详细的阐述，因此答案C是正确的。与之相比较，其他三个选项均是错误的。? 32.【答案】D。? 【译文】本世纪的主要发现表明，人类已经放弃了某些曾经接受的理论。? 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。? 【详细解答】见文章第3段，尤其是最后几句话，...some of the laws of physics are amended every few years, some are canceled outright, some undergo revised versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress. 得知人类对理论所采取的做法是修正，摈弃，甚至采取立法手段等，因此正确答案是D。? 33.【答案】D。? 【译文】在过去的几年里，科学家发现人们对DNA尚需进行继续深入研究。? 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。? 【详细解答】承接第4段末尾人们对DNA的再认识（But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond today’s imagining.），作者在第5段指出了对DNA研究的态度：继续深入地开展下去。由此确定答案为D。? 34.【答案】A。? 【译文】作者写作此文的目的是说明科学才刚刚起步。? 【试题分析】总结归纳题，通过理解全文归纳出答案。? 【详细解答】文章的最后一段明确指出，It is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do.从而清楚地将作者的观点公之于众，那就是说，科学刚刚起步，面前的路还很长很长。因此答案应是A。虽然科学取得了很大进展（C），大大改善了人们的生活（B），但这都不是本文的写作目的。? 35.【答案】B。? 【译文】作者对待科学的态度是满意的。? 【试题分析】综合归纳题，在理解文章主题思想的基础上推理得知答案。? 【详细解答】根据全文的主题，作者对待科学的态度不是挑剔（A），中立（C）也不是遗憾（D），而是满意的积极的态度，所以应选择答案B。? Passage Four? 内容概要:? 本文讨论的人们对滥用毒品采取的态度问题。随着人们对毒品危害性的日益了解，毒品滥用的情况在减少，但“所有毒品都对人有极大危害”的说法显然不具有太大的影响力，因为人们都很明了毒品的毒性是有很大差异的。反毒品教育只是在一定程度上降低了毒品滥用的情况，但这个问题任重道远。? 36.【答案】C。? 【译文】根据文章内容得知，到目前为止，反毒品教育只是在某种程度上起到了一定的效果。? 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。? 【详细解答】文章第一段所述，antidrug education既没有完全失败（选项D. a total failure），也不是如选项A，B那样使所有的人都意识到了吸毒的危害，而是Observed declines in the use of such drugs...即在某种程度上了解了其危害，所以只有C是正确的。? 37.【答案】C。? 【译文】文中提到的Reefer Madness这部电影没有真实地反映大麻的危害。? 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。? 【详细解答】见文章第一段最后几行，了解到...Reefer Madness, a widely unrealistic propaganda film against marijuana made in the 1930s.也就是说，这部电影是一部相当不真实的反大麻宣传影片，因此正确答案是C。? 38.【答案】A。? 【译文】“所有的毒品对人的危害都极大”这种说法没有影响力是因为它忽略了毒品在危害性方面差异很大的事实。? 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。? 【详细解答】见文章第1段中部，Such sources are influential, because they do not give a simple “all drugs are terrible for you” message. Drug users know there are big variations in danger among drugs, and antidrug education that ignores or denies this is likely to be ridiculed.明确得知答案是A。? 39.【答案】B。? 【译文】大多数吸毒者对毒品的危害都视而不见，这种说法是错误的。? 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。? 【详细解答】见文章第1段中部，Such sources are influential, because they do not give a simple “all drugs are terrible for you” message. Drug users know there are big variations in danger among drugs, and antidrug education that ignores or denies this is likely to be ridiculed. 得知吸毒者了解毒品在危害性上差异很大，因此答案是B。? 40.【答案】D。? 【译文】本文的题目是：勿滥用毒品——能劝好吗？? 【试题分析】综合归纳题，在理解全文基础上推理得知答案。? 【详细解答】根据文章的主题，作者不是解释是否所有的毒品都有害（A），也不是吸毒的危害性是否已经被人所知（C），更不是地下报纸的可信度问题（B），正确答案只能是D。? Part Ⅲ? 41.【答案】B。? 【译文】财政部长强调，促进国民经济的关键不是产量，而是产品的质量。? 【试题分析】短语辨析题，要求后面考生能辨析...than的差别，并能正确使用。? 【详细解答】other than 表示“不同于”，“除了”；more than 是“大于”，“多于”，而better than 常指“比……更好”，“胜于”；只有rather than指“不是……（而是……）”，符合本题语境。? 42.【答案】C。? 【译文】如果人们不必为自己酒后的行为承担责任，那么我们还是原谅那些酒后驾车的司机为好。? 【试题分析】本题是考察几个与情态动词相关的习惯用语的使用。? 【详细解答】might/may as well 是比较常用但许多考生并不明确的习惯表达，表示have no better reason not to...（没理由不……还是……为好）；没有may well as 这种说法，另外两个短语大多数考生比较熟悉：had better ——最好；would rather——宁可……也不，宁愿。? 43.【答案】A。? 【译文】要不是大夫赶来，他可能已经死了。? 【试题分析】本题测试重点是虚拟语气的使用。? 【详细解答】 but for的意思是if not（要是没有，要不是），要求后面跟虚拟语气的谓语。其他三个选项从意思上均说不通。? 44.【答案】D。? 【译文】这些地区矿产资源贫乏，工业发展滞后，几乎完全依赖农业，? 【试题分析】本题测试副词的用法。? 【详细解答】四个选项分别为respectively（分别地，各个地）；undoubtedly（毋庸质疑地，的确地）；incredibly（难以置信地）；exclusively（排外地，专有地）。根据句意只能选D。? 45.【答案】B。? 【译文】很奇怪，艾米长得特别像她姑妈。? 【试题分析】本题测试take的短语动词的使用。? 【详细解答】各选项的意思分别为：take down——拿下，记下，拆卸，病倒；take after——长得相似；take to——从事，喜欢，养成……习惯；take on——聘用，承担（工作，责任等）。显然本题正确答案是B。与take 相关的短语动词有许多，请考生多加注意。? 46.【答案】D。? 【译文】实验接近尾声，即将获得最后的成功。每个人都明白谁都承担不起因一个小差错而毁掉全局的后果。? 【试题分析】词语辨析题，主要明确 can’t afford 的含义及用法。? 【详细解答】can’t afford 表示“承担不起……的责任/后果”；inflict 后常接on/upon，表示“使……受（痛苦），给……以（打击/惩罚）”；endure也常与cannot等否定词连用，表示“不能容忍/忍受”；而stand 表示“容忍”之意时与endure用法相同。? 47.【答案】D。? 【译文】老板强调指出，要做一名合格的服务员必须使自己的服务让顾客满意。? 【试题分析】本题考察介词的使用。? 【详细解答】do sth. to the satisfaction of sb. 的意思是“把某事做得使某人满意”，其他三个选项均不合题意。? 48.【答案】C。? 【译文】在经过多年的努力工作之后，我才意识到金钱本身并不能带来幸福和成功。? 【试题分析】本题考察考生对虚拟语气和倒装句的正确使用。? 【详细解答】only after 表示“在……之后”，要求后面跟虚拟语气，同时，如果把only after置于句首则要求用倒装语序，综合考虑只有C答案正确。? 49.【答案】D。? 【译文】工厂引入自动控制之后，所有由手工进行的工作都将让位于装配线。? 【试题分析】本题是短语辨析题，主要考察考生对give way to 与take the place of 等短语/词汇的区别。? 【详细解答】give way to （让位于）既包含着take the place of / replace的意思，又不仅仅是take the place of / replace 的意思，它强调了被比较对象的关系，如 A gives way to B 表示“B 取代了A，A 因退步/落后等原因让位于B”。所以本题答案是D。? 50.【答案】A。? 【译文】游客们正要欣赏壮观的海啸，突然一阵浓雾出现了，整个景色变得一片模糊。? 【试题分析】词语辨析题，要求考生能够辨析blur等词语，并学会正确使用。? 【详细解答】blur—把视线、界限等弄得模糊不清；belittle—轻视，使……显得渺小；ban—禁止，取缔；collapse—倒塌，失败，崩溃。? 51.【答案】B。? 【译文】史密斯教授请他的秘书用复印机把这篇文章复印100份。? 【试题分析】本题是动词短语辨析题，要求考生对run的相关动词短语的用法非常了解。? 【详细解答】四个选项的常用意思分别是：run down—停止，把……撞倒；run off—逃跑，驱逐；run over—撞倒，掠过；run into—偶然遇见，遭遇。但考生只掌握这些意思还远远不够，比如run off在口语中还表示“复印，印刷，打印”，本题即此用法。? 52.【答案】C。? 【译文】新的经济政策的目的不是为了阻碍经济的增长，而是指导经济沿着有益的方向发展。? 【试题分析】本题考察固定搭配的使用。? 【详细解答】固定搭配not ..., but...表示“不是……而是……”，其他三个选项均不能和not构成搭配。? 53.【答案】A。? 【译文】既然你今天晚上不想做饭，我们出去吃怎么样？? 【试题分析】考察考生对inclined, pleased, obliged, apt等词语的习惯用语的实际应用能力。? 【详细解答】feel inclined to do sth. 相当于have a wish to do sth.，表示“想做某事”；be pleased with sb./sth. 表示“对……人/事感到满意”；be obliged to sb.表示“感谢（某人）”， be obliged to do sth.则表示“不得不/必须（做某事）”；apt 的常用词语包括：be apt at （善于, 巧于），be apt for（适合），be apt to/to do sth.（易于动辄, 往往有可能）。? 54.【答案】B。? 【译文】那个偏远地区的人们仍过着简朴的生活因为那儿的经济还很不发达。? 【试题分析】本题是词语辨析题。? 【详细解答】正如我们会用a modest income来形容收入不高一样，modest一词除了表示“谦虚”之意，也可用来表示“简单的，不大多的，不过分的”等。其他三个选项（difficult —艰难的；arduous—费劲的，险峻的；domestic—家庭的，驯服的）均不合本题题意。? 55.【答案】A。? 【译文】虽然作为大夫我很佩服他，但我不喜欢他的为人。? 【试题分析】本题测试点是副词as / so 与 much 连用的意义与用法。? 【详细解答】much as 中的as 相当于 though，表示让步，译作“虽然”；而as much中的as 则表示“与……同样（多）”；so much 表示“和……一样多”，“就只那么多”；没有much so 的说法。? 56.【答案】C。? 【译文】他们玩得很开心。更确切地说，他们看上去玩得很开心。? 【试题分析】本题测试考生对习惯用语or rather 的掌握。? 【详细解答】or rather是对上文的补充或修正，译作“更确切地说”，根据句意，其他三项都不合题意。? 57.【答案】D。? 【译文】鉴于目前的出生率，有关世界人口在近期将下降的预言是完全没有道理的。? 【试题分析】本题考察动词的使用，要求考生对动词的多个义项都有所了解。? 【详细解答】hold 一词作动词用时可以表示“拿着”、“保存”、“支持”、“占据”、“拥有”等，它还有一个义项是考生不太熟悉的，意思相当于to be valid, applicable, or true，“使有效/可行/真实”，“有道理”。其他三个选项显然均不能适用于本句。? 58.【答案】D。? 【译文】巨浪淹没了整个村庄。? 【试题分析】本题是词汇测试题，主要考察考生对几个动词的熟悉和掌握。? 【详细解答】四个选项的意思分别为：conquer—征服；imprison—囚禁；confine—限制；inundate—淹没。根据句意选择答案D。? 59.【答案】A。? 【译文】机器虽然老了些，但尚能正常工作。? 【试题分析】本题测试点是副词reasonably的用法。? 【详细解答】reasonably 表示“适度的”，“尚可以”，“过得去”，符合本题题意。而其他三个选项均不合题意（rationally—讲道理地，理性地；probably—大概，或许；occasionally—有时候，偶尔）。? 60.【答案】C。? 【译文】我们仅仅感受到偶然落入我们感觉器官的光和声音的一小部分，大部分就已经过去了。? 【试题分析】本题主要测试考生对几个形近名词的意义的掌握。? 【详细解答】四个选项的意义分别为：fiction—小说；function—功能，作用；fraction—小部分，一点儿；friction—摩擦。故根据句意选择答案C。? 61.【答案】B。? 【译文】他的总结性发言对观众有巨大的影响。? 【试题分析】本题测试点是名词词义辨析。? 【详细解答】impact 与 influence同义，表示“影响”，后面接介词 on，其他三个选项均不合本题题意（response—回答，响应；affection—倾向，爱情；assertion—声明，断言）。? 62.【答案】B。? 【译文】尽管我在海上，也有许多事情要观察要了解，因为这是我第一次航海。? 【试题分析】本题考察考生根据句意判断对连词的恰当使用。?

Part Ⅳ? 71.a 改为 an。a 用在以辅音字母或辅音开头的单词之前，an用在以元音字母或元音开头的单词之前。? 72.to 改为 by。abide by 是固定用法，表示“坚持，遵守”。? 73.possession改为 possessions。因为possession 在句中意为“财产”，应用其复数形式。? 74.or改为 and。只有both...and...没有both...or...，both...and...表示“既……又……”。? 75.settling改为settled。过去分词表达被动与完成，现在分词表达主动与进行。Settled表示“定居下来的（人们）”。? 76.like改为as。句中的as 作介词，表示“例如”。? 77.fact改为true。come true 表示“成为事实”，没有come fact 这种表达法。? 78.which前加in。句中的which是关系代词，引导定语从句，修饰前面的trick，加上in 句意才完整。? 79.convince改为 persuade。convince表示“（已经）信服”，而persuade是指“劝说（某人）使之相信”。根据句意显然应使用后者。? 80.them改为it。根据句意此处的代词表示money, 而该词是不可数名词，故应用it。? 　 Part Ⅴ? 写作指导：? 张国荣的自杀事件引起了大家的关注，就这个话题写一篇英文作文看上去容易，写起来不一定很简单，挖掘出新意来就更难了。一般来讲，就事论事的议论文不要面面俱到，应该选择一个或两个重点，从具体的着眼点进行议论评说。下面的范文以人生的结局为话题，展开对“自杀”的论述，应该说对考生是不无启发的。? 参考范文：?

Is It a Perfect Ending?? Some people hear their inner voice of pursuing perfection, including a perfect ending. Such people become triumphant, but they choose to suicide. Mr. Zhang Guorong is among them. ? Ending never stops fascinating human beings. Ending is the most important part of a story, a period of history, a pursuit, and finally a life. Naturally we have certain kind of curiosity toward the end of our life, but death seems to be out of our reach. Suicide then becomes the fastest and the most convenient way to see the ending, especially for a perfectionist. To some degree, suicide is also a change for the better, at the cost of life.? However, suicide doesn’t only cause death. It hurts the feelings of other people still alive. In other words, many broken hearts may become the victims of a released heart. In this sense, suicide is an action without responsibility. One may have his right to die, but he doesn’t have rights to hurt those who love him.? Anyway, death is the last and worst solution to any problems, let alone a pursuit for perfection and a temptation to see the ending.? 　 本套试卷测试语言重点? 10个重点单词：? exclusively: 排外地，专有地? inflict: 使……受（痛苦），给……以（打击）? blur: 把视线、界限等弄得模糊不清? belittle: 轻视，使……显得渺小? hold: 使有效/可行/真实，有道理? inundate: 淹没? reasonably: 适度的，尚可以，过得去? fraction: 小部分，一点儿? assertion: 声明，断言? patronize: 资助，光顾? 4个重点词组：? take after: 长得相似? give way to: 让位于? run off: 复印，印刷，打印? feel inclined to do sth.: 想做某事

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages it this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. ?

Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

Chemistry did not emerge as a science until after the scientific revolution in the seventeenth century and then only rather slowly and laboriously. But chemical knowledge is as old as history, being almost entirely concerned with the practical arts of living. Cooking is essentially a chemical process; so is the melting of metals and the administration of drugs and potions. This basic chemical knowledge, which was applied in most cases as a rule of thumb, was nevertheless dependent on previous experiment. It also served to stimulate a fundamental curiosity about the processes themselves. New information was always being gained as artisans improved techniques to gain better results. ?
The development of a scientific approach to chemistry was, however, hampered by several factors. The most serious problem was the vast range of material available and the consequent difficulty of organizing it into some system. In addition, there were social and intellectual difficulties, chemistry is nothing if not practical; those who practice it must use their hands, they must have a certain practical flair. Yet in many ancient civilizations, practical tasks were primarily the province of a slave population. The thinker or philosopher stood apart from this mundane world, where the practical arts appeared to lack any intellectual content or interest. ?
The final problem for early chemical science was the element of secrecy. Experts in specific trades had developed their own techniques and guarded their knowledge to prevent others from stealing their livelihood. Another factor that contributed to secrecy was the esoteric nature of the knowledge of alchemists, who were trying to transform base metals into gold or were concerned with the hunt for the elixir that would bestow the blessing of eternal life. In one sense, the second of these was the more serious impediment because the records of the chemical processes that early alchemists had discovered were often written down in symbolic language intelligible to very few or in symbols that were purposely obscure. ?

21. What is the passage mainly about? ?
A) The scientific revolution in the seventeenth century.?
B) Reasons that chemistry developed slowly as a science.?
C) The practical aspects of chemistry.?
D) Difficulties of organizing knowledge systematically. ?

22. According to the passage, how did knowledge about chemical processes increase before the seventeenth century? ?
A) Philosophers devised theories about chemical properties. ?
B) A special symbolic language was developed.?
C) Experience led workers to revise their techniques. ?
D) Experts shared their discoveries with the public. ?

23. The bold word “hampered” in Line 1 Para 2 is closest in meaning to____. ?
A) recognized B) determined ?C) solved D) hindered ?

24. The bold word “it” refers to which of the following? ?
A) Problem. B) Material.?C) Difficulty. D) System. ?

25. Which of the following statements best explains why “the second of these was the more serious impediment”(Underlined)??
A) Chemical knowledge was limited to a small number of people.?
B) The symbolic language used was very imprecise.?
C) Very few new discoveries were made by alchemists. ?
D) The records of the chemical processes were not based on experiments.?

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:?

An important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum a dark, thick ooze from the earth had been known for hundreds of years, but little use had ever　been made of it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier, a manufacturer in western Pennsylvania, began　collecting the oil from local scapages and refining it into kerosene. Refining, like smelting, is a　process of removing impurities from a raw material.?
　　Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for　new supplies of petroleum.?
　　The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake, are tired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began　drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that　onlookers called it “Drake’s Folly”. But when he had drilled down about 70 feet(21 meters),　Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day.?
　　News of Drake’s success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860’s these　wildcatters were drilling for “black gold” all over western Pennsylvania. The boom rivaled the　California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far　more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.?
　　Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the　principal one. It was sold in grocery stores and door-to-door. In the 1880’s and 1890’s refiners　learned how to make other petroleum products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum　was not then used to make gasoline or heatingoil.?

26.What is the best title for the passage??

Passage Three?
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:?

“Welcome to the U.S.A.! Major credit cards are accepted!”?By the millions they are coming no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses longing for a better living. These are the wealthy. “We don’t have a budget,” says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York City’s South Street.“ We just use our credit cards.”?
The US has long been one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional. First, there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every corner of the globe; then came the weakening of the US dollar against major currencies. Now the US, still the world’s superpower, can also claim to be the world’s bargain basement(廉价商品部). Nobody undersells America these days on just about everything, from consumer electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Bottom retail prices anywhere from 30 % to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $ 79 billion in 1994. That’s up from $74 billion the year before.?
True, not everyone comes just for bargains. There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and US television series. But shopping the USA is proving irresistible. Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases. The buying binge（无节制）has become as important as watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellowstone Park or sunbathing on a beach in Florida.?
The US has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank. And with a trade deficit at about $130 billion and growing for the past 12 months, the US needs all the deposits it can get. Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the US stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12.2 night and $ 1624 a traveler versus the Americans’ four nights and $298.?
31. From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourists like her ____.?
A) are reluctant to carry cash with them?
B) simply don’ t care how much they spend?
C) are not good at planning their expenditure?
D) often spend more money than they can afford?

32.The reason why 1994 was exceptional is that ____.?
A) it saw an unusually large number of tourists to the US?
B) it witnessed a drop in the number of tourists to the US?
C) tourism was hardly affected by the weakening of the US dollar that year?
D) Tourists came to the US for sightseeing rather than for bargains that year?

33.By saying “ nobody undersells America” (Underlined), the author means that ____.?
A) no other country underestimates the competitiveness of American products?
B) nobody expects the Americans to cut the prices of their commodities?
C) nobody restrains the selling of American goods?
D) no other country sells at a lower price than America?

34.Why does the author assert that all things American are fascinating to foreigners??
A) Because they have gained much publicity through the American media?
B) Because they represent the world’ s latest fashions?
C) Because they embody the most sophisticated technology?
D)Because they are available at all tourist destinations?

35.From the passage we can conclude that the US has come to realize____.?
A) the weakening of the US dollar can result in trade deficits?
B) the lower the retail prices, the greater in profits?
C) tourism can make great contributions to its economy?
D) visitors to the US are wealthier than US tourists abroad?

Passage Four?
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:?

The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970’s was the enthusiasm for refurbishing old buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in 1960s, but it was in the 1970’s, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation. As well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene.? One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston’s eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1824. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately adjacent, it has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin Thomson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional offices, and simply walking.?
Butler Square, in Minneapois, examplifies major changes in its complex of offices, commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights.? San Antonio, Texas, offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers, San Antonio’s leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which menders through the business district. ?

A) During the 1970’s, old buildings in many cities were recycled for modern use.?

40. What is the author’s opinion of the San Antonio project??

B) It is a good project that could be copied in other cities. ?
C) The extensive use of bulldozers made the project unnecessarily costly.?
D) The work done on the river was more important than the work done on the buildings.

Section B?
A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.?
One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life-styles. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their educations, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents. ?
In our upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.?
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight.

Part Ⅱ?
Passage One?
内容概要:?
尽管化学只是在十七世纪的科学革命之后才成为一门学科出现，但是化学知识的使用已经拥有了非常悠久的历史。但是，研究化学的科学方法的发展被诸多因素给阻碍了，包括物质来源的多样性和把这些物质有系统地组织起来的难度，另外还有社会和智力上的困难。早期化学科学的最终问题就是秘密问题。在某一领域内，有人为了保守自己的经济利益把自己的发现作为秘密掩藏起来。?
21.【答案】B。?
【译文】本篇文章的主要内容是什么？?
【试题分析】主题归纳型，通过总结和归纳，进而得出文章的主题。?
【详细解答】选项A的意思是“十七世纪的科学革命”，这只是在文章的第一段中提到了这一点，但只是其中一个非常小的细节；选项B的意思是“化学作为一门学科发展缓慢的原因”，在文章的第二段和第三段中作者花了很多的笔墨讲述化学发展缓慢的原因，故它是本题的正确答案；选项C的意思是“化学的实用方面”，这只是文章第二段所提到的一个细节；选项D的意思是“把化学知识有系统地组织起来的困难”，这只是所提出的三个原因中的一个，不能以偏盖全。故本题的正确答案是B。?
22.【答案】C。?
【译文】根据文章的内容，在十七世纪之前，化学过程的知识是如何增加的？?
【试题分析】细节推理型，根据文章中的相关信息，并进行分析和总结。?
【详细解答】选项A的意思是“哲学家编写了有关化学知识的理论。”，文章第二段的最后一句话The thinker or philosopher stood apart from this mundane world告诉我们哲学家远离有关的化学知识，而不是编写了理论；选项B的意思是“形成了一套特殊的符号语言”，文章最后一段的最后一句话告诉我们使用符号的原因是为了保守秘密，而不是为了发展化学知识；选项C的意思是“经验引导着工人们改进他们的技术。”，第一段所讲的内容正是关于这一点，而且这也是发展化学知识的方法，故是正确答案；选项D的意思是“专家们与公众分享这些化学知识”，文章第三段明显提到为了保守秘密他们这些炼丹术士采取多种手段保守秘密，所以该选项不正确。?

【译文】下面哪个句子能最好地解释加下划线的短语“第二个是更严重的阻碍的原因”？?

Part Ⅳ?
71. 【答案】all the written materials be stored into the hard disk of computers?
【详细解答】本题是测试request后面的宾语从句中的虚拟语气的。根据英语的语法规则，在表示“要求、命令、建议等”意思的动词后的宾语从句中，谓语动词要用should+动词原形或直接用动词原形表示虚拟语气。?
72. 【答案】If I were in your shoes?
【详细解答】本题是测试虚拟语气的一中特殊条件句。在这句话中，我们用“If I were in your shoes”来表示虚拟的条件。如果有了这一条件句，其后的主语从句要用虚拟语气。?
73. 【答案】postponing such a conference to the end of this quarter?
【详细解答】本题是测试动词mind后面所跟的结构的。在这句话中，mind是动词，意为“介意，在乎”，其后跟ving形式。所以，这里我们用postponing。另外，“季度”的英文表达是quarter。?
74. 【答案】With various factors considered?
【详细解答】本题是测试独立主格结构中的非谓语动词的。由于这里从句的主语既不是主句的主语，也不是主句的宾语。所以，这里我们用了介词with来引导这一结构。另外，名词factors和动词consider之间是动宾关系，所以用了consider的过去分词。?
75. 【答案】After having his hair cut?
【详细解答】本题是测试have sth. done这一结构的。have sth. done所表达的意思是“让别人做某事”。另外，类似的结构还有：have sb. do sth.意思是“让某人做某事”，用该结构时，说话人知道动作的发出者是谁，而have sth. done不知道动作的发出者，或者动作的发出者不重要。?
76. 【答案】the least of which the lack of water is not?
【详细解答】本题是测试定语从句中的先行词和关系代词的。我们把该定语从句完全展开后，就成为the lack of water is not the least of the problems。由于problems已经成为了先行词，这样，我们就用了关系代词which，而且把the least of放在了前面。?
77. 【答案】will rise to 500 tons per month?
【详细解答】本题测试动词的及物与不及物问题。在英语中，表示“升高，增长”的动词有rise和raise，其中前者是不及物动词，而后者是及物动词。在这句话的翻译过程中，很明显，我们不知道动作的发出者是谁，因此这里我们应该用不及物动词。所以，这里我们翻译成will rise to 500 tons per month。?
78. 【答案】on having enough money to enjoy themselves outside ?
【详细解答】本题是测试动词与介词的搭配的。动词concentrate后面要跟介词on或upon，然后在介词后跟名词或动名词。所以，我们把这个短语翻译成on having enough money。其后的动词不定式短语表示目的。另外，我们把“痛快地享受”翻译成了“enjoy themselves”。?
79. 【答案】don’t forget to tell your sister to buy some steak in the supermarket?
【详细解答】本题是测试动词后面在结构不同时的不同意义的。众所周知，动词forget后面可以跟动词不定式，也可以跟动词的-ing形式。在这两种情况下，前者的意思是“不要忘了去做某事”，还没有发生这一动作；而后者的意思是“不要忘了做过某事”，该动作已经发生。由于这里动作还没有发生，故用前者。?
80. 【答案】prefer to play the computers rather than consult the reference books in the library.?
【详细解答】本题是测试动词的固定结构的。prefer后面跟动词不定式时，接着要用rather than，其后接着用动词原形，来表示愿意做前者，而不愿意做后者。?

Part Ⅴ?
写作指导：?
该题是一篇典型的“三段论”作文。从结构上来说，应该这样行文：在文章的第一段，作者应该把重点放在正面的观点上；而在文章的第二段，就应该与第一段构成鲜明的对比，把反面的观点表达清楚。在文章的第三段，作者再提出自己的观点。?
这篇文章的重点应该放在第一段或者第二段上。这取决于作者的态度。如果你认为在国内学习比较好，第一段就是本文的重点段落，就应该在这一部分多花一些笔墨；如果你认为应该到美国留学，第二段就是本文的重心。而在文章结束的第三段中，作者只需用几句话表明自己的观点即可，可以赞成前者，也可以赞成后者，也可以保持中立。在文章的结尾，用两句话发出号召即可。?
参考范文：?

Studying Abroad
?
Nowadays students can study either in their home country or in foreign countries, in most cases, the United States. Some prefer to stay in their home country and study. Others think studying in the United States is more beneficial. As a matter of fact, each situation has its own advantages.?
When students study in their home country, they have no language barriers. They can read books with their mother tongue very easily. They can also discuss their lessons with the teachers or the fellow students very freely. Since they are accustomed to the way they have been living, they have little difficulties in life. Besides, they have little financial difficulties in the process of their studies because they can easily get financial support from their parents or their relatives.?When students attend schools in the United States, they can act as mediators between peoples of different cultures to promote international understanding. They can also tend to be spokespersons for other cultures and people who may be misunderstood by Americans. They can enjoy the contact with new and different cultures to increase the awareness of their own culture. In addition, they can learn advanced knowledge of science and technology, and learn English much more quickly than in their home country.?
I think it’ s better to study in the United States because the advantages to studying in the US outweigh those to staying in one’ s home country.

Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the center.? Passage One?
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:? Once upon a time,the United States seemed to have plenty of land to go around.Plenty of rivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys left over.Plenty of space for parks and for cities.Plenty of forests to cut and grasslands to plow.But that was once upon a time.The days of unused land are over.Now the land has been spoken for,fenced off,carved up into cities and farms and industrial parks,put to use.?
At the same time, the population keeps growing. People need places to work and place to play. So we need more sites for more industries, more beaches for more sunbathers, and more clean rivers for more fishes. And it isn’t just a matter of population growth. Our modern technology has needs that must be met too: We need more coal for energy, and we need more power plants; cars must have highways and parking lots, and jets must have airports.?
Each of these lands uses swallows up precious space. Highways and expressways alone take some 2,000,000 acres each years. And urban sprawl—the spreading out of cities—is expected to gobble up vast areas of land by the year 2000. But there is only so much land to go around.?
How do you decide what to do with a piece of land? It depends upon the land, and it depend upon the needs of the people and their values. It is always hard to decide. Take, for example, a forest. A forest can be a timber supply. It can provide a home for wildlife. It is scenery and a recreation area for man. It is soil and watershed protection.?
These last two take some explaining. A forest creates its own soil. Leaves and other litter on the forest floor are constantly turned and moved by worms and burrowing animals. Enriched by animal wastes, the litter becomes humus—a rich and spongy mix of organic material. The soil feeds forest plants. The plants in turn protect the soil—roots hold it in place, branches slow rainfall so that it will drop gently to earth. Water slowly trickles through the humus and is purified. Water travels downstream and out to sea.?
When a forest is cut down, there is nothing left to create or protect the soil. Heavy rains beat and wash away spongy humus. Little soil is left to absorb water. Then rain waters can rush unchecked to the valley below, flooding low-lying areas. If a forest is to supply timber, watershed protection, recreation, and a home for wildlife, it has to be cut carefully. And it must be replanted.?
In short, land is fragile. Without proper care it can be ruined forever.?
In the debates about how a particular piece of land is to be used, the priorities often conflict. What should you do, for example, if you find out that under the fertile fields of a farming community there is a thick bed of coal which can be strip-minded? Strip mining rips up topsoil and vegetation. But mining may create jobs, bring money to the town’s businesses. Those who approve of strip mining say that the coal is needed, and they point out that it is quicker and cheaper to get coal from the surface than to go deep into the earth to get it by standard mining techniques. On the other hand, it takes nature 500 years to create an inch of topsoil.?As the countryside fills up, people are becoming more aware of the need for open space. Nearly every proposal for a new power plant, highway, or airport draws fierce opposition. Everyone wants the bid, land-eating “uglies” to be in someone else’s backyard. Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, for example, having been debating about the site of a future airport for years. Yet if a new airport is needed, it will have to go somewhere. ?
How do we find our way out of the land-use problem? One way might be to reexamine our values, to think in new directions. Does everyone have to have a car-with its need for highways and parking lots? What about developing mass transit systems that use less land? Do suburbs have to sprawl? Can they be designed so they use less space? Do we have to have more energy? If we do, do we really have to strip-mine coal to provide it? ?
However difficult they may be to arrive at, choices will have to be made if we want to preserve the beauty and usefulness of the land. For there is at least one point on which all of us can agree; the land does have its limits.?

Passage Two?
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:? Most of the larger cities in the world have grown without plans and blueprints. London is such a city. Its streets zigzag, snake, and circle. There is no reason or order to its street-numbering system. Indeed, no one but a veteran taxi driver knows the whole of London. And before he gets his cabbie’s license he must first tour the city for months, street by street, then take a comprehensive examination to prove that he can find his way about. New York and Chicago grew in much the same way. They just in spread out, pushed by the demands for residential, business, or industrial space. Like spilled water, they expanded in all directions. Today in New York, even a native-born Manhattanite despairs of finding his way around Brooklyn.?There are a few modern cities, however, that were created out of nothing. They were built strictly by the book according to detailed plans that will also control future growth. Two such American cities are Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. But the prime example of a city planned and built from scratch in the twentieth century is Brasilia, the new capital of Brazil.?
Brasilia was the brain child of Brazil’s President Juscelino Kubitschek, who held office from 1955 to 1960. Kubitschek, like other Brazilian leaders, was concerned that most of Brazil’s people were crammed into its seacoast cities. Rio de Janeiro, then the nation’s capital and its second largest city, occupies a breathtakingly beautiful site on the Atlantic coast. Sao Paulo, Brazil’s largest city, is very near the coast. Consequently, this meant that riches in timber, minerals, and hydroelectric power sources in the interior of the country were untapped. Recognizing that drastic action was needed to develop the interior, Kubitschek decided to build a brand new capital city in the Brazilian Highlands, 600 miles northwest of Rio de Janeiro. He chose a site that was right in the middle of the wilderness, on land that had never even been plowed.?
Ready for business in 1960, Brasilia was an architect’s delight and a planner’s dream. Its public buildings, monuments, and high-rise apartment complexes were magnificently modern. Access roads fed into its streets with no traffic lights. Every feature seemed logical, reasonable, and right. But for more than a decade, Brasilia seemed all wrong to the people brought there to live and to work in government offices. While it was undeniably a beautiful city, it was not yet a community.?
For it is people and their history of habitation that turn a city from a collection of streets and buildings into a community. It is people who give a city life and character and personality—and a brand-new, tailor-made Brasilia didn’t have those qualities for a long time. But now, happily, its residents no longer feel they need to rush back to Rio or Sao Paulo at every opportunity. Instead, they visit, picnic, and enjoy one another’s company. Brasilia is beginning to feel like home to them.?Other planned cities have faced the same problem of creating a community spirit and identity. Some observers of life in Columbia, Maryland, another planned city, have been concerned with lack of spirit there and have made an interesting comparison between Columbia and Hoboken, New Jersey. Hoboken, an old waterfront town just across the Hudson River from New York City, is an urban planner’s nightmare. It has row upon row of old dingy buildings, and grass and tree are few and far between. Columbia, on the other hand, is an urban planner’s dream. It has charming colonial and modern houses on winding streets. There are lovely lawns and beautiful trees. And there are bicycle paths and hundreds of acres of woods, meadows, and lakes. ?
Yet something is not quite right. Many Hoboken children are almost fiercely loyal to one another and their community. They may not have lawns and lakes, but they find ways to have fun on the pavements and sidewalks. In Columbia, by contrast, many of the young people seem listless. As one teenager from Detroit put it, “In Detroit it seemed like something was always happening. But here”. And he shrugged his shoulders. ?
What is it about a treeless,grimy,old city like Hoboken that makes people love it so much?What is it about a beautiful new city like Columbia that makes young people shrug with boredom?These are questions which city planners will have to face up to.For no matter how well it is designed,a city will not ultimately come to life unless it inspires the love and loyalty of the people who live and work in it.?
26.In this sentence “ Indeed, no one but a veteran taxi driver knows the whole of London.”(Sent 5, Para. 1), what does the word “veteran” mean??
Ａ） Local. Ｂ） Experienced.?Ｃ） New. Ｄ） Warm-hearted.?

A) London’s planning system is sound.?
B) New York and Chicago developed with the help of planning.?
C) It’s difficult to be a cabbie in London.?
D) Finding their way around Brooklyn delights travelers.?
28.Why did Kubitschek decided to build a new capital city??
A) Because he wanted his people to cram into seacoast cities.?
B) Because the new capital city was more prosperous.?
C) Because it was a large city with large population.?
D) Because he thought it necessary to develop inland cities.?
29.Which of the following statements is true??
A) Columbia frightens urban planners.?
B) Although it’s very beautiful, Columbia makes young people bored.?

B) A city’s planning is very important, a well-planned city attracts more people.?
C) Although planned cities are nice, people like old cities more because life in old cities is colorful.?
D) Modern buildings make people love a city.? Passage Three?
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:?
In Japan’s capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits the height of buildings. The city has spread out far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficult to get from one place to another. The price of land, too, has skyrocketed. All this explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion that there was nowhere to go but down. So far they have dug out space underground for fifteen major shopping centers, and the underground construction has only begun.?
What are some of the advantages of shopping and eating underground? Clean, filtered air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog problems in the world. Another advantage is that you escape the ever-present threat of traffic accidents on the city’s busy streets. Still another is the convenience of getting around: You’re usually right next to, or even in, a subway station. And you can even spend the night underground if you like. The Kyobashi Station, for example, in downtown Tokyo, has a hotel with a bar, restaurant, and barbershop.?
All sorts of surprises can be found in the underground world. At the enormous Shinjuku Subway Station you drive down a winding road lined with water fountains to arrive at a scarce item in Tokyo—a parking lot—and you find stores and shops a few steps away. In the second basement of the Toshiba is a “Fisherman’s Wharf” crowded with pleasant little seafood places. A tunnel that connects the Hibiya and Sanshin Buildings has a number of art galleries, as well as medical and dental clinics. In between are little coffee shops where you can relax and get refreshments.?
Probably the most versatile of the underground wonders, and certainly the most complicated to build, is the Yaesu Subcenter at the heart of the city, where four subway lines link up. Its shopping promenade, which is the size of three football fields, contains 350 stores. In Yaesu you can eat in a different place every day for three months. You can draw money out of a bank and invest it at a stockbroker’s office. There are tailors, watch repairers, furriers, florists, and book sellers. You can meditate in the Plaza of Water while gazing at eight tanks of rare fish. And you can even get arrested by a police officer from the Yaesu subterranean police station! ?
Under all the commercial activity is a parking lot for 520 cars. And under that is a control center where TV monitors watch the devices that watch the air-its temperature, moisture, and purity. There is no alarm for earthquakes, which are common in Tokyo, but the experts feel that there would be fewer problems underground than on the surface in case of tremors. Yaesu also has emergency generators for power and a chemical system for fighting fire.?
Underground construction can be complex and expensive. At times, the Yaesu crews could work only three hours a day because their activities interfered with the running of the subway. Then there was the problem caused by finding unidentified water and gas pips. Since many of the municipal blueprints of pipe systems were destroyed during World War II, strange pipes kept turning up; and work had to be stopped while they were identified and taken care of by detour or replacement.?
There was also some resistance from the people above ground. A good many neighborhood shopkeepers began to picket the project crying, “underground is for moles.” They reasoned that they would lose a lot of their business to the underground competition. The Yaesu people countered by offering them a chance to buy stock in the project. There were a lot of takers, and this had the effect of quieting the complainers.?The Yaesu builders wanted to go deeper, but after they had spent 31 million dollars, they ran out of money. Still, there seems to be little doubt that there will be further development down under. In a city like Tokyo, almost the only space left is underground.?
31.If you want to have your hair cut, you can go to the____.?
A) Hibiya and Sanshin Buildings?
B) Kyobashi Station?
C) Plaza of Water?
D) Second basement of the Toshiba?
32.It will take____to eat in a different place every day in Yaesu.?
A) 350 dollars B) 520 cars?C) three months D) two hours?
33.Which of the following statements is NOT true??
A) You can buy furs, flowers and books underground.?
B) The air is purified underground.?
C) You can eat fresh seafood underground.?
D) The Yaesu crew work day after night to finish the project.?
34.Why underground pipes are difficult to be identified??
A) Water and gas pipes are not taken care by construction workers.?
B) Underground pipe systems were destroyed during World War II.?
C) Many city planning blueprints can be found nowhere.?
D) Pipes were buried too deep underground.?
35.What can be inferred from the passage that??
A) Tokyo is a city rich in land resources.?
B) Underground projects will develop further in the future.?
C) Underground projects are constructed for moles.?
D) When there is an earthquake, it’s safer to stay on the surface.? Passage Four?
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:? A few years ago, Ann and Walter Taylor thought it might be time to move out of their New York City apartment to the suburbs. They had one young son and another child on the way. But after months of looking, they became discourage and decided to buy an old townhouse right in the middle of Brooklyn, which is a part of New York City. To their delight, they discovered that they weren’t the only young couple to have made such a decision. In fact, their entire area in Brooklyn had been settled by young families. And as a result, the neighborhood, which had been declining for years, was now being restored.?
Brooklyn isn’t the only city in the United States to experience this kind of renewal.So are Philadelphia and St.Louis.And Charleston,South Carolina,has so successfully rebuilt its old central area that it now ranks as one of America’s most charming cities.The restoration of the old port ?city? of Savannah,Georgia,is also living proof that downtown areas do not need to die.But encouraging as these developments may be,they are among the few bright spots in a mass of difficulties that today’s cities face.Indeed,their woes are so many that it is fair to ask whether or not the inner city the core of most urban areas will manage to survive at all.?
In the 1940s,urban Americans began a mass move to the suburbs in search of fresh air,elbow room,and privacy.Suburbs began to sprawl out across the countryside.Since most of those making the move were middle-class,they took with them the tax money the cities needed to maintain the neighborhoods in which they had lived.The people left in the cities were often those who were too old or too poor to move.Thus,many cities began to fall into disrepair.Crime began to soar, and public transportation was neglected.( In the past sixty years San Francisco is the only city in the United States to have completed a new mass transit system.)Meanwhile, housing construction costs continued to rise higher and higher. Middle-class housing was allowed to decay, and little new housing was constructed.?
Eventually, many downtown areas existed for business only. During the day they would be filled with people working in offices, and at night they would be deserted. Given these circumstances, some business executives began asking, “Why bother with going downtown at all? Why not move the offices to the suburbs so that we can live and work in the same area?” Gradually, some of the larger companies began moving out of the cities, with the result that urban centers declined even further and the suburbs expanded still more. This movement of business to the suburbs is not confined to the United States. Businesses have also been moving to the suburbs in Stockholm, Sweden, in Bonn, Germany, and in Brussels, Belgium, as well.?
But it may well be that this movement to the suburbs has reached its peak. Some people may be tired of spending long hours commuting, and they may have begun to miss the advantages of culture and companionship provided by city life. Perhaps the decision made by the Taylors is a sign that people will return to the cities and begin to restore them. It begins to look as if suburban sprawl may not have been the answer to man’s need to create an ideal environment in which to live and work.?
36.According to the passage,Ann and Walter Taylor____.?
A) moved from city apartment to the suburb?
B) remained in the downtown area?
C) moved out of New York?
D) bought an old townhouse in the suburb?
37.It can be inferred from the passage that____.?
A) downtown areas must die in the future?
B) suburbs are sure to replace cities?
C) the movement to the suburbs begins to decline?
D) there are just old and poor people left in the cities?
38.Business have been moving to suburbs because____.?
A) people living in the suburbs are rich?
B) many people work in cities and live in suburbs?
C) environment is pleasant in the suburbs?
D) American businessmen are fond of moving around ?
39.Why the cities began to fall into disrepair in the 1940s??
A) Because people could not earn enough money at that time.?
B) Because the municipal planning was not sound.?
C) Because old and poor people were neglected.?
D) Because many people moved out of the cities.?
40.What is the main idea of the passage??
A) American people move a lot in history.?
B) Downtown areas are too crowded to live.?
C) Moving to suburbs is not the answer to an ideal environment.?
D) Cities are likely to be replaced by the suburbs.

Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, what he may do, It is improbable that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in turn. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interesting for older people because they are too well-known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. [JP+2]His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains: He is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks old people do; he is continually being told not to do things,or being punished for that he has done wrong.
His life is therefore ?not perfectly happy.?When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. He can not longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortable. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will suffer hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, therefore, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself making steady progress in his job and of building up for himself his own position in society.

Passage One?
About 25 million children in developing countries have no homes. So they live on city streets. Another 75 million children live at home but work on the streets. United Nations Children’s Fund says most of these children do not receive education or health care. The private organization known as “Child Hope U.S.A.” is trying to do something to help these children. The group has many goals. Child Hope U.S.A. wants to halt the spread of AIDS and the use of illegal drugs among children. It wants to protect young girls from being mistreated sexually. It wants to teach children how to protect themselves, how to survive conditions on the streets and how to feel good about themselves. Child Hope U.S.A. is trying to establish educational programs for the children. It is working with local groups to get their help in protecting the rights of street children. And, it is trying to make international development groups more informed about street children. Some children begin living on the streets when they are five years old or younger. Four-year-old can be found selling goods on the street corner or begging for food and money. Some of these children have lost their families because of wars or natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. Some are helping their families earn enough money to survive. Studies show that more than one million children live and work on the streets in the Philippines. Seven million children live on the streets in Brazil. About 250 thousand children live on the streets in Mexico. About ten million Mexican children work on the streets. Child Hope U.S.A. works closely with international children’s groups, government agencies and other national and local groups. It has offices in Brazil, Guatemala, the Philippines, Britain, Canada and the United States. Child Hope U.S.A. also works to improve child labor laws. In 1992, Pakistan approved new laws to control child labor. The laws make it illegal for companies to lend money to families and let children repay the loan by working in factories. Yet, about eight million children still are working in Pakistan to repay loans. We will take more about the problems of children in developing countries next week.?

Passage Two?
The silence of the Reference Library was broken only by an occasional cough and now and then by the scarcely audible sound of pages being turned over. There were about twenty people in the room, most of them with their heads bent over their books. The assistant librarian who was in charge of the room sat at a desk in one corner. She glanced at Philip as he came in, then went on with her work.?
Philip has not been to this part of the library before. He walked around the room almost on tiptoe, afraid of disturbing the industrious readers with his heavy shoes. The shelves were filled with thick volumes: dictionaries in many languages, encyclopedias, atlases, biographies and others words of reference. He found nothing that was likely to interest him, until he came to a small shelf out of his reach, so he had to fetch a small ladder in order to get one down. Unfortunately, as he was climbing down the ladder, the book he had chosen slipped from his grasp and fell to the floor with a loud crash. Twenty pairs of eyes looked up at him simultaneously, annoyed by his unaccustomed disturbance. Philip felt himself go red as he picked up his book, which did not seem to have been damaged by its fall.?
He had just sat down when he found the young lady assistant standing alongside him. “You must be more careful when you are handling these books.” she said severely. Satisfied that she had done her duty, she turned to go back to her desk. Then a sudden thought struck her. “By the way, how old are you?” she asked Philip. “thirteen.” He told her. “You are not allowed in here if you’re under the age of fourteen, you know,” the assistant said. “Didn’t you see the notice on the door?” Philip shook his head. He expected the assistant to ask him to leave. Instead, in a more kindly tone, she said, “Well, never mind. But make sure that you don’t disturb the other readers again, otherwise I shall have to ask you to leave.”?
15.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage??
16.What can be found in this part of the library??
17.What can we learn from the passage? ?

Passage Three?
Hidden passengers traveling in ships, trains, or even cars can be a terrible nuisance—especially when they are insects. In this respect, there is a great difference between human beings and insects. The former make every possible effort to avoid discovery, while the latter quickly draw attention to themselves.?
We can only sympathize with the unfortunate man who had to stop his car soon after setting out from a country village to drive to London. Hearing a strange noise from the back of the car, he naturally got out to have a look. He examined the wheels carefully but as he found nothing wrong, he continued his way. The noise began almost immediately and now it was louder than ever. Quickly turning his head, the man saw what appeared to be a great black could following the car. When he stopped at a village further on, he was told that a queen bee must be hidden in his car as there were thousands of bees nearby.?
On learning this, the man realized that the only way to escape would be to drive away as quickly as possible. After an hour’s hard driving, he arrived in London where he parked his car outside a hotel and went in to have a drink. It was not long before a customer who had seen him arrived and hurried in to inform him that his car was covered with bees. The poor motorist telephoned the police and explained what had happened. The police decided that the best way to deal with the situation would be to call a bee-keeper. In a short time, the bee-keeper arrived. He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back of the car. Very grateful to the motorist for his unexpected gift, the keeper took the queen and her thousands of followers home in a large box. Equally grateful, the motorist drove away in peace, at last free from the “black cloud” which had hung over his car.?
18. What did he hear from the back of the car??
19.Where did he examine carefully but he found nothing wrong, he continued his way??
20.On learning this, the man realized what would be to drive away as quickly as possible??

15.【答案】C。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】根据短文可知，Philip是第一次进入这个非常安静的图书馆。当他把书掉到地上时发出了很大的噪音，图书馆员也原谅了他，可见非常友善。而C选项是说Philip本人从梯子上掉了下来，不符合原文。?
16.【答案】B。?

Part Ⅱ?
Passage One?
内容概要:?
本文讨论的是关于土地的使用问题。作者以美国为例，讲述了其过去各类土地资源的丰富及其当前的严峻形势，从而引出了有关土地使用的讨论。到底应该如何使用土地？这个问题很难做出决定。人们会依据土地本身及他们的需要及价值观来定夺。作者还通过详细讲述森林及土壤保护的关系、露天采矿的优缺点等来引导读者思考并反省他们的土地应用价值观。?
21．【答案】B。?
【译文】似乎美国曾经拥有足以分配的大量土地资源。?
【试题分析】词义辨析题。?
【详细解答】go around 可表示“走来走去、疾病传播、结交相处或足够分配” ：第一段作者罗列了一些在美国曾经非常丰富的土地资源，但这都成为了过去，就是为了表明土地在过去“足够分配”的含义。?
22．【答案】D。?
【译文】这些土地应用都在大量地鲸吞着宝贵的空间。?
【试题分析】词义辨析题。?
【详细解答】swallow up 表示“侵吞、吞掉、耗尽”的意思。因此C）“消失”以及B）“放弃”就可以轻易排除。而在本句当中使用swallow up，作者正是为了强调一种完全的占据，故D）最合适。?
23.【答案】D。?
【译文】总之，土地是很脆弱的。?
【试题分析】词义辨析题。?
【详细解答】fragile意为“易碎的，虚弱的”，作者在5、6段详细的讲述了森林与土地的关系。可以看到，森林的存在对于土壤及土地来说是非常有好处的，而一旦没有森林的保护，土地状况就变遭，可见其脆弱性。故A）与C）选项谈到土地的贫瘠或肥沃是不合适的。B）选项在词义上则偏差太远。?
24.【答案】D。?
【译文】文章第五段的要旨是森林如何产生土壤及保护水域的。?
【试题分析】细节推理题。?
【详细解答】通过第五段的阅读，大家不难发现其主要讲述的内容是森林中的落叶和一些动物的粪便变为营养丰富的腐殖土，利于树木生长，而树木反过来又保护了土壤，土壤又净化了雨水。由此可见选项A）B）C）都是不完整的。?
25.【答案】B。?
【译文】随着乡村也逐渐拥挤起来，人们更加意识到对未被占用的土地的需要。?
【试题分析】词义辨析及推理题。?
【详细解答】农村变的越来越拥挤，当然有再多的A）公有土地还是不能解决问题。当然D）私人土地更是帮不上任何忙。至于C），土地没有种植也许有其他住户或工业，看来只有B）尚未被占用的土地，才能给我们提供开阔的空间。?

Passage Two?
内容概要:?
本文讨论的是一个城市到底如何才能变的有生气。作者首先通过详细的例子讲述了城市规划的重要性所在。鲜明的对比使我们很容易发现规划后的城市楼高了、路直了、绿地多了、景色更漂亮了。这样的城市应该是非常吸引居民的。然而事实并非如此，人们觉得这样的城市很无聊，没有生气。作者以此引出了主题，一个城市规划再好，要是没有了一种城市精神，就无法激发居民的忠诚和对城市的爱。?
26.【答案】B。?
【译文】只有老练的出租车司机才熟知伦敦的全情。?
【试题分析】词义辨析题。?
【详细解答】通过第一段的阅读，我们可以发现伦敦的街道弯弯曲曲、迂回曲折，想要在这样的城市中找路，到底要什么样的司机呢？显然C）新手 和 D）热心肠都不能真正帮上忙。那么A）当地人怎么样呢？大家在最后一句可以发现，和伦敦一样没有规划的纽约，“even a native-born...despairs of finding his way...”可见当地人找路都是特别困难的。故只有B）选项可选。?
27.【答案】C。?
【译文】从第一段中，我们可推断出在伦敦成为出租车司机是很困难的。?
【试题分析】细节推理题。?
【详细解答】伦敦的规划体制会是A）项中所阐述的健全的吗？要是健全的，路就不会是迂回曲折的了。纽约、芝家哥同伦敦一样，都是没有规划的发展，而不是B）中阐述的。而了解美国的同学应该知道，布鲁克林区是纽约市的一自治村镇，这里的规划和纽约一样，不会是D）中所阐述的。而在伦敦，想成为出租车司机，你需要几个月的时间来熟悉路况，通过全面的考试，可见资格的取得是相当困难的。故选C）。?
28.【答案】D。?
【译文】Kubitschek总统决定新建一座首都是因为他认为发展内陆城市是很有必要的。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】巴西利亚是巴西的新首都，然而为什么要建立这个新首都呢？仔细阅读会发现Rio de Janeiro（里约热内卢）濒临大西洋，大量的巴西人cram into把沿海城市塞得满满的，而国家内陆城市的各种资源则untapped（没有被开发利用)，Kubitschek总统希望通过建立一座新首都，均衡开发国家的资源，而绝对不是A）项中的那样，希望人们向沿海城市发展。而巴西利亚刚建立时，不是B）或C）项中所讲的繁华城市或大城市，只是一大片荒地罢了。?
29.【答案】B。?
【译文】尽管哥伦比亚非常漂亮，但是会让年轻人觉得很无聊。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】通过文章的阅读，我们可以发现哥伦比亚是一座planned city规划过的城市。是使城市规划者非常喜悦的，而不是A）中所陈述的。而哥伦比亚已经建成，也不是C）中陈述的那样，存在于规划者的梦想。也不会是D）项中所陈述的，一排排的脏房子以及稀少的绿地。而通过最后一段的阅读“...a beautiful new city like Columbia that makes young people shrug with boredom”,可见应选择B）。?
30.【答案】A。?
【译文】文章的主题是，一个城市必须有某种精神去激励她的居民，否则这个城市将没有任何生气。 ?
【试题分析】推理题。?
【详细解答】作者首先通过详细的例子讲述了城市规划的重要性所在。鲜明的对比使我们很容易发现规划后的城市楼高了、路直了、绿地多了、景色更漂亮了。这样的城市应该是非常吸引居民的。然而事实并非如此，人们觉得这样的城市很无聊，没有生气。作者以此引出了主题，一个城市规划再好，要是没有了一种城市精神，就无法激发居民的忠诚和对城市的爱。故选A）。?

Passage Three?
内容概要:?
本文讲述了日本东京由于受地震、交通、城市拥堵、地价过高等因素的影响，而在地下大建工程的事实。作者列举了一些地下工程的好处并列举了日本的一些大型地下工程。在罗列了种种好处及大型地下工程的规模后，作者也讲述了在施工时间上，施工过程中及资金等方面面临的种种困难。但利弊的比较以及结合东京目前的现实，我们不难发现，发展地下空间将是一条很有前途的发展方式。?
31.【答案】B。?
【译文】如果想理发，你可以去Kyobashi地下车站。?
【试题分析】词义辨析题。?
【详细解答】依据原文“The Kyobashi Station...has a hotel with a bar, restaurant, and barbershop”（Line7，Para2）， “barbershop”的意思就是理发店。自然应该选择B。?
32.【答案】C。?
【译文】在Yaesu，如果每天换不同的地方吃饭，那么要花三个月的时间。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】依据原文“In Yaesu you can eat in a different place every day for three months”(Sentence 4, Para 4)。故选C。?
33.【答案】D。?
【译文】Yaesu的施工人员夜以继日的工作以完成这个工程，这个陈述是不正确的。?
【试题分析】细节推理题。?
【详细解答】地下的大型购物场所可以大到三个足球场那么大，要买毛皮衣、鲜花和书自然很容易，吃到海鲜也很容易，故A）C）是正确的。地下建筑有什么好处呢？“Clean, filtered air is one of them”可见地下空气是净化过的，故B）也是正确的。只是地下工程很难进行，一是由于受地铁的影响，每天只能进行三个小时，可见D）的陈述是错误的。?
34.【答案】C。?
【译文】为什么地下管道的位置难以被确定，这是因为许多的城市规划蓝图已经找不到了。?
【试题分析】细节推理题。?
【详细解答】A）项中陈述的建筑工人不注意这些地下管道，和这个问题没有任何逻辑关系。B）项干扰性很强，如果你没有细心阅读，便会错选此项。依据原文“...many ...blueprints...were destroyed...”可见，毁坏的是蓝图而不是地下管道本身，故B）项应排除。应选择C）项，而D）项中，管道埋的很深显然不是理由。?
35.【答案】B。?
【译文】从文章中可以推断，地下工程在未来将有更进一步的发展。?
【试题分析】细节推理题。?
【详细解答】A）项最容易被排除，如果东京土地资源丰富的话，那么就不用开发地下资源了。C）项中阐述的。地下工程是专为鼹鼠建造的，这显然不合逻辑，原文中出现的“underground is for moles”，只是为了表明一些反对地下工程人士的偏激观点，不可选。而D）项显然与原文“experts feel that ...fewer problems underground than on the surface in case of tremors”冲突。?

Passage Four?
内容概要:?
本文通过介绍在美国历史上出现的大量人口向郊区的迁移的事实，讲述了曾经由于人们为追求新鲜的空气、开阔的空间等原因而大量移入郊区，从而使得城市的建设一度破落。商业的进一步搬迁使得城市建设更加落后。但每天在城市与住所之间数个小时的往返，以及人们对城市文化生活的怀念使得人们又重新搬回城市来。以此作者引出文章的主题，单纯向郊区的迁移并不能为我们创建一片理想的工作生活的土地。?
36.【答案】B。?
【译文】据这篇文章，Ann和Walter Taylor继续留在了城市繁华地区。?
【试题分析】细节推理题。?
【详细解答】两人原本想从伦敦般到郊区，但“after months of looking, they became discouraged and decided to buy...in the middle of....a part of New York City”，可见并能如愿，并最终还是留在了城中。故选B。?
37.【答案】C。?
【译文】从文章中可以推断，向郊区的迁移开始下降。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】依据原文“downtown areas do not need to die”(Line5, Para2)可知，A）选项错误。郊区肯定会代替城市吗？显然不可能，毕竟在城市，“the advantages of culture”是郊区无可比拟的。故B）选项错。而现在很多人又开始向城市迁移，不可能只剩下老人和穷人，故D）错。?
38.【答案】B。?
【译文】商业向郊区迁移是因为许多人在城市工作，郊区生活。?
【试题分析】细节推理题。?
【详细解答】大量的人居住在郊区，使得商业也向郊区迁移，这样人们便不至于“spending long hours commuting” ,这不是由于郊区人有钱，郊区环境好或美国人喜欢搬迁，故排除A）C）D）。?
39.【答案】D。?
【译文】在20世纪40年代，为什么城市变得破损失修呢？是由于太多的人搬出了城市。?
【试题分析】细节考察题。?
【详细解答】A）选项中的人们没有足够的钱，不符合原文，故排除，B）选项中归咎于市政规划，显然不符合原文，之所以失修，是因为 “they took with them the tax money the cities needed to maintain the neighborhoods...”可见太多的纳税人离开了城市，使城市没有足够的钱去修护、建设，自然选D）了。?
40.【答案】C。?
【译文】文章的主题是，向郊区的迁移并不能解决理想的居住环境的问题。?
【试题分析】细节推理题。?
【详细解答】依据课文内容我们得知，在美国历史上，人们大量移入郊区，从而使得城市的建设一度破落。商业的进一步搬迁使得城市建设更加落后。但每天在城市与住所之间数个小时的往返，以及人们对城市文化生活的怀念使得人们又在重新搬回城市来。以此作者引出文章的主题，单纯向郊区的迁移并不能为我们创建一片理想的工作生活的土地。故选C）。?

Loyalty to the employer?
Different cultures place varying values on loyalty to the employer. In some countries, most notably in Asia, there is a high degree of loyalty to one company. However, in most European countries and the United States, loyalty to one’s employer is not high valued; instead it is considered more rational and reasonable for an employee to change jobs whenever it is warranted to achieve the optimal overall career. Both of these position have advantages and disadvantages. ?
In cultures that value loyalty to the employer, a kind of family relationship seems to develop between employer and employee. It is a reciprocal arrangement which the employer is concerned with assisting the employee to develop to his full potential and the employee is concerned about optimizing the welfare of the company. The negative aspect to absolute loyalty to one company is that an employee may stay in one job that he has outgrown and may miss out on opportunities to develop in new directions. From the employer’s point of view, the employee may be burdened with employee whose skills no longer match the needs of the company. ?
In culture in which it is quite acceptable to change jobs every few years, employees can blind the career they choose for themselves. They can stay with one company as long as it is mutually beneficial to company and employee. As long as good relationship exists and the employee’s career is advancing at an acceptable pace, the employee can remain with a company. But at any time the employee is free to move to another company, perhaps to achieve a higher position, to move into a new area, or to find a work situation that is more suitable to his personality. They disadvantage of this situation is employees tend to move around a lot. ?
Although both these systems have advantages and disadvantages, it is much better for employees have the opportunity to move from job to job if it is necessary to have a better career.?

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. ? Passage One?
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:? The media can impact current events. As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s, I remember experiencing the events related to the People’s Park that were occurring on campus. Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV. I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media. I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage. This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinction between these realities.?
Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people’s lives every day. People gather more and more of their impressions from representations. Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village, or what one writer calls the electronic city. Consider the information that television brings into your home every day. Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone. These media extend your consciousness and your contact. for example, the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake focused on “live action” such as the fires or the rescue efforts. This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster. Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy. CNN reported events as they happened. This coverage was distributed worldwide. Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities. ?
In 1992, many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters. This event was triggered by verdict (裁定) in the Rodney King beating. We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments, and most people, who had seen the video of this beating, could not understand how the jury（陪审团）was able to acquit (宣布……无罪)the policeman involved. Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events. This can have harmful results, as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles. By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television pleading. “can we all get along?” By Saturday, television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally for peace. The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools. Because of that , many people turned out to join the peaceful event that saw unfolding on television. The real healing, of course, will take much longer, but electronic media will continue to be a part of that process. ? 21.The best title for this passage is____.?
A) The 1992 Los Angeles Riots?
B) The Impact of Media on Current Events?
C) The 1989 San Francisco Earthquake and the 1992 Los Angeles Riots?
D) How media Cover Events?
22.All the following statements are true EXCEPT that____.?

C) all the events occurring on the university campus at Berkeley were given national media coverage ?
D) video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earthquake gave the viewers the impression of total disaster ?
23.The term“electronic city”in paragraph 2 refers to____.?
A) Los Angeles B) San Francisco?
C) Berkeley D) Earth?
24.The 1992 Los Angeles riots broke out because____. ?
A)the jury acquitted the policemen who had beaten Rodney King ?
B)people can make their own judgments?
C)video coverage from helicopters had made people angry?
D)video coverage had provided powerful feedback ?

B) most people who had seen the video of the Rodney King beating agree with the verdict of the jury?
C) the 1992 Los Angeles riots lasted a whole week?
D) Rodney King seemed very angry when he appeared on television on Friday?

Passage Two?
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:? The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law in 1990. This law extends civil rights protection to persons with disabilities in private sector employment, all public services, and in public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications. A person with a disability is defined as someone with a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits him or her in a major life activity, such as walking, talking, working, or self-care. A person with a disability may also be someone with a past record of such an impairment, for example, someone who no longer has heart disease but is discriminated against because of that history. ?
The ADA states that employers with fifteen or more employees may not refuse to hire or promote a person because of a disability if that person is qualified to perform the job. Also, the employer must make reasonable accommodations that will allow a person with a disability to perform essential functions of the job. All new vehicles purchased by public transit authorities must be accessible to people with disabilities. All rail stations must be made accessible, and at least one car per train in existing rail systems must be made accessible. ?
It is illegal for public accommodations to exclude or refuse persons with disabilities. Public accommodations are business and services such as restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, and parks. All now buildings must be made accessible, and existing facilities must remover barriers if the removal can be accomplished without much difficulty or expense. ?
The ADA also stipulates that companies offering telephone service to the general public must offer relay services to individuals who use telecommunications devices for the deaf, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. ?
26.What is the main purpose of the passage??
A) To describe discrimination against persons with disabilities.?
B) To explain the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act.?
C) To make suggestions for hiring persons with disabilities.?
D) To discuss telecommunications devices for the deaf.?
27. According to the passage, all of the following are affected by the Americans with Disabilities Act EXCEPT ____.?
A) someone who has difficulty walking?
B) a public transit authority?
C) an employer with fewer than fifteen employers?
D) a person with a past record of an impairment?
28.The author mentions grocery stores as an example of ____.?
A) public transit?
B) barriers?
C) private sector employment?
D) public accommodations?
29.The? author implies all of the following EXCEPT ____.?
A) the ADA requires people with disabilities to pay for special accommodations?
B) the ADA is designed to protect the civil rights of many people?
C) public transportation must accommodate the needs of people with disabilities ?
D) The ADA protects the rights of people with mental impairments?
30.It can be inferred from the passage that ____.?
A) restaurants can refuse service to people with disabilities ?
B) every car of a train must be accessible to persons with disabilities.?
C) the ADA is not well-liked by employers?
D) large companies may not discriminate against workers with disabilities. ? Passage Three?
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:? Studies of children’s acquisition of language suggest that the faculty of language includes an inborn knowledge of the formal principles of language structure, a knowledge that depends on generically determined portions of (usually) that left cerebral (大脑的) hemisphere.Although it is well established that the left hemisphere is specialized for language, one cannot say that language is “located” in this or that part of the hemisphere. What is known is that language discorders are the results of lesions (损伤) in the left hemisphere. Disorders of language resulting from damage to the brain are called aphasias (失语症).?
The anterior(前面的)portion of the “language area” is termed Broca’s area. Lesions in this area interfere with the motor(运动原)and articulatory aspects of language.Speech is slow,labored,grammatically incorrect,and telegraphic;in extreme cases,it may be impossible to carry out.Writing is likewise severely impaired.Comprehension of the spoken or written word,however,may be unimpaired or nearly so.(It is interesting to note that under emotional stress,a patient with Broca’s aphasia may be temporarily fluent.)Because Broca’s area is close to the motor cortex(脑皮层),if the former is damaged,the latter is often damaged simultaneously.Hence,such patients often suffer form weakness or paralysis of the right side of the body.Similar lesions in the right hemisphere will cause a left-sided weakness of paralysis but will have no effect on language. ?
Damage to the posterior (后面的) portion of the “language area, ” especially to Wernick’s area, results in a loss of comprehension of the spoken word and often of the written word. The patient’s native language is now like a foreign language. In addition, the patient’s speech is rapid and well-articulated, but without meaning. Writing is defective, and words that are heard cannot be repeated, although hearing itself is completely normal. Similar lesions in the right hemisphere usually have no effect on language.?
Injuries to the “language area” in children result in severe aphasias, but the development of language mechanism in the right hemisphere can often compensate for them to an extraordinary degree. This potential function of the right hemisphere is probably normally suppressed by the left hemisphere. In adults, aphasias from similar lesions are often permanent. ?
31.The author is primarily concerned with ____.?
A) describing the process of language acquisition?
B) explaining potential treatment of language defects?
C) showing the importance of the left hemisphere of the brain to language mechanisms?
D) depicting various means of diagnosing language defects?
32.Unlike a patient with Wernicke’s aphasia, a patient with Broca’s aphasia can ____. ?
A) comprehend written but not spoken language ?
B) hear and read with comprehension?
C) speak articulately and also comprehend spoken language?
D) write and speak readily and coherently?
33.According to the passage,which of the following statements about the right hemisphere of the brain is accurate??
A) It has the potential to serve as a “language area”.?
B) It controls the ability to comprehend but not the ability to speak a language?
C) If it is damaged, gross motor control of the right side of the body may be affected.?
D) It is the right where Wernick’s area is located.?
34.It can be inferred that aphasias in adults often result in permanent damage because ____.?
A) much memory is lost?
B) adults have more trouble learning a foreign language?
C) the right hemisphere is no longer as adaptable as it once was. ?
D) brain cells in adults are especially vulnerable to infection?
35.It can be inferred that the author bases his description on ____.?
A) clinical studies of instances of damage to the brain?
B) studies of language development in children without brain damage?
C) microscopic examination of the brain structure?
D) examples of the integration of the left and right hemispheres? Passage Four?
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:? For millions of years before the appearance of the electric light, shift work,all?night cable TV and the Internet, Earth’s creatures evolved on a planet with predictable and reassuring 24-hour rhythms.Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle.Simply put,our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives.(Contrary to popular belief,humans don’t need less sleep as they age.)?
But on average,Americans sleep only about seven and a half hours per night,a marked drop from the nine hours day averaged in 1910.what’s worse,nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people, that’s not nearly enough.?
Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are generic. But many problems are caused by staying up late and sleeping in, by traveling frequently between time zones or by working nights. Dr. James. F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed at other discomforts. About one third of the patients referred to him with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually have treatable sleep disorders. “Before we do anything else, we look at their sleep,” Jones says.?
Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns, “My motto (座右铭) is 'sleep defensively’,” says Mary Carskadon of Brown University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep, even if it means giving up other things. Sleep routines-like going to bed and getting up at the same time every day-are important. Pre-bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Elsneer, who used to suffer from sleeplessness, a few lifestyle change-avoiding stimulants and late meals, exercising hours before bedtime, relaxing with a hot bath—yield better sleep. ?
36.What is TRUE of human sleep??
A) Most people need less sleep when grow older.?
B) Most people need seven and a half hours of sleep every night.?
C) On average, people in the U. S. today sleep less per night than they used to.?
D) For most people, less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night is enough.?
37.For our bodies to function properly, we should____.?
A) sleep for at least eight hours per night?
B) believe that we need less sleep as we age?
C) adjust our activities to the new inventions?
D) be able to predict the rhythms of our biological clocks?
38.According to the author, many sleeping disorders are caused by ____.?
A) other diseases?
B) pre-bedtime exercises?
C) improper sleep patterns?
D) Chronic fatigue syndrome?
39.Which of the following measures can help you sleep better??
A) Staying up late.?
B) Taking a hot bath.?
C) Having late meals.?
D) Traveling between time zones.?
40.“Sleep defensively” means that ____.?
A) people should go to a doctor and have their problems diagnosed?
B) people should exercise immediately before going to bed every night?
C) people should sacrifice other things to get enough sleep if necessary.?
D) People should give up going to bed and going up at the same every day.

Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, and few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons about this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true name of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it by the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronounce a foreign language is a skill, one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of himself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerning with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher may be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and by his whole attitude to the subject he should get the student to feel that here is a matter worth of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions where other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take a secondary place.

Passage One? In the past 20 years, scientists have learnt a great deal about sleep and dreams. They have discovered, for example, that sleep and dreams affect the way people feel. A good night sleep, generally, makes a person happier in the morning. Dreams also have a strong effect on the moods of people. However, who appears in a dream is more important than what happens.?
Every person has a special dream character. If the special character appears in dreams, people are happier after sleeping. If there are many people in one’s dreams, this has a good effect. A person will wake up happier.?
The moods of people affect their performances throughout the day. The level of one’s moods rises and falls during the day. The less sleepy the people are, the better they perform, and usually they are more friendly, more aggressive, and more clear thinking.?
Some day scientists hope to manipulate sleep in order to control the way people feel and perform.? Passage Two? In a great number of Western, as well as Eastern societies, many adults have been taught not to cry, or have even forgotten how. This is very unfortunate, because, although it may have been necessary at one point to learn to hold back one’s tears, the ability to cry is actually very human. It is a natural thing, and one of the special ways nature has given us to cure ourselves of the hurts we receive in the course of living.?
If crying is helpful in the curing of physical ills, we can easily imagine the importance of tears and the ability to cry in the curing of emotion ills, and in helping people who are emotional well-being as well. You may have observed this in your personal life. For example, many times after a good cry, we can think more clearly or feel more lighthearted or sleep more easily, because some kind of load has been lifted from within. ? Passage Three? Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome. I’m sure we have all heard the expression, “Think Green.” Tonight we are going to talk about ways that we can “Act Green” in our everyday life.?
The best place to start, of course, is in the home. Every day, people all over the world are hurting the environment without even knowing it. For example, busy families buy paper napkins and plastic food wrap at the supermarket. This helps them save time on housework, but after these things have been used, what happens to them? They go into the garbage heap. In many places, especially in North America, big cities are running out of places to throw their package. What can we do about it??
How can we cut down on garbage? Well, we can start using cloth napkins and cloth towels instead of paper towels. When we go grocery shopping, we can choose products that are not “overpackaged.” For example, last week I bought a package of cookies. The cookies were in a bag. There was a plastic tray inside the bag, and then each cookies was in its own little package on the tray in the bag! That’s overpackaging! We should also take our own bags to the grocery store to carry things in.

Part Ⅱ?
Passage One?
内容概要:?
本文主要讲媒体对时事的影响。文中列举了许多事例说明这一点。如电视和电话把人们与地球连到了一起，有位作家把地球村称之为“电子城”，媒体对事件的报道会提供强烈的反馈反过来又会影响事件本身等等。?
21.【答案】B。?
【译文】本文的最佳题目是媒体对时事的影响。?
【试题分析】本题测试考生的综合理解能力。?

【试题分析】事实细节题。?
【详细解答】第2段，有“这些媒体拓宽了人们的视野和接触范围”一句。可见选项A）的意思是对的，也即不是正确选项。第2段最好一句也就是B的意思，因此B也是对的。D的内容与文章意思吻合，文中第2段中有这样一句话：这给观众以大灾难的印象。因而D）也不可能是正确选项。C说的是所有发生在伯克利大学的世界全国性的媒体都予以报道。但文章第1段第3句说，发生在伯克利加州大学的某些（不是所有）事件在全国性媒体上报道了。由此可见C）的说法与原文不符，故为正确选项。?
23. 【答案】D。?
【译文】电子城指的就是地球。?
【试题分析】词语理解题。?
【详细解答】本题问的是electronic city，实际上考的是对global village的理解。由于city一词，而且是个选择中的三个城市在文章中都被提到。因此该题目有一定的迷惑性。但如果考生知道global village是“地球村”的意思，也知道“电子城”就是指的“地球村”，那么这道题比较容易回答。?
24. 【答案】A。?
【译文】1992年落杉矶骚乱的原因是陪审团宣布殴打Rodney King的警察无罪。?
【试题分析】事实细节题。?

25. 【答案】A。?
【译文】媒体事件的报道既可带来好影响也可造成恶劣的后果。?
【试题分析】推理引申题。?
【详细解答】文中第3段说，媒体对事件的报道会提供强烈的反馈，反过来又会影
响事件本身。由此可知，媒体对事件的报道既可带来好的影响也可造成恶劣的后果，因此A是正确选项。?
Passage Two?
内容概要:?
本文主要讲美国为保护残疾人而制定的各种法律。在享受医疗保健、教育和交通旅游权利等方面从法律上都有明确规定。?

【试题分析】归纳结论题。?
【详细解答】这篇短文的中心内容就是讨论和解释美国人是如何从法律上和公共事业角度进行广泛的努力保护和帮助残疾人。选项B正好回答了这个问题。故B是正确答案。?
27. 【答案】C?
【译文】雇员少于15人的情况不在美国残疾人法的范围之内。?
【试题分析】事实细节题。?
【详细解答】选项C说的是少于15人的情况，而文中第二段第一句说的是雇员多于15人的雇主不得拒绝雇佣能够胜任工作的残疾人。因此C是排除于短文内容以外的选项。?
28. 【答案】D。?
【译文】公共设施包括食品店。?
【试题分析】事实细节题。?
【详细解答】第4段第2句话给public accommodation下定义是把选项D包括了进去，与parks, restaurants and hotels并列。?
29. 【答案】A。?
【译文】文中没有提及残疾人必须对其特殊住所支付费用。?
【试题分析】事实细节题。?
【详细解答】短文中没有讲到或暗示过残疾人必须对其特殊住所支付费用（peoplewith disabilities must pay for specialaccommodations），而B、C、及D项选择的内容在第一和第三段都讲到或暗示过。?
30. 【答案】D。?
【译文】可以推测大公司不可以歧视有残疾的工人。?
【试题分析】推理引申题。?
【详细解答】关键词是第二段前两个句子：（employers with fifteen or more employees may not refuse to hire or promote a person because of a disability... must take reasonable accommodations...）。A项选择不符合第4段的意思，B项选择不符合第3段的意思，而C项选择在短文中找不到支持信息。?
Passage Three?
内容概要:?
本文第1段为主题段，点明了大脑左半球与语言机制之间的关系；第2、3段分别描述了大脑左前区和左后区损伤对语言机制的不同影响；最后一段主要是讲大脑右半球在大脑左半球受损导致失语症时的代偿作用。?
31. 【答案】C。?
【译文】本文主要是为了说明大脑左半球对语言机制的重要性。?
【试题分析】归纳结论题。?
【详细解答】文章第1段就概括了这篇文章是关于大脑左半球与语言机制的关系，大脑左半球对语言机制起着重要的作用。所以C）是正确答案。?
32. 【答案】B。?
【译文】勃洛卡区失语症病人和韦尼克失语症病人不同，前者既能听懂也能读懂。?
【试题分析】事实细节题。?
【详细解答】第2段第3、4、5句告诉我们，大脑左前区损伤对说和写的能力有严重影响，但一般不会影响听和读的理解。因此选项A）和C）有部分差错，选项D）完全不对，而惟有选项B）正确。?
33. 【答案】A。?
【译文】大脑右半球在在左半球受损伤的情况下具有代偿作用。?
【试题分析】事实细节题。?
【详细解答】依据是最后一段第1句。既然在大脑左半球受伤而造成严重失语症的情况下，儿童的大脑右半球通常可形成代偿机制，就说明大脑右半球具有充当“语言区”的潜力。所以A）是正确答案?
34. 【答案】C。?
【译文】成年人的失语症经常导致永久的损伤是因为大脑右半球不再具有适应性。?
【试题分析】推理引申题。?
【详细解答】从最后一段我们得知，同是“语言区”（即大脑左半球）损伤导致严重失语症，儿童的失语症通常可由大脑右半球语言机制的发展得到一定弥补，但成人的失语症则一般是永久的。这种对比说明，成人的大脑右半球已不像儿童（即从前）那样具有适应性。因而答案应选C）。?
35. 【答案】A。?
【译文】作者的描述的依据是大脑损伤进行的临床观察和研究。 ?
【试题分析】推理引申题。?
【详细解答】本文是通过描述大脑不同部位损伤与失语症之间的关系来论证主题的，而在四个选项中只有采用A）的方法（即对脑损伤进行临床观察和研究）才能发现这种关系。? Passage Four?
内容概要:?
本文讲的是睡眠问题。琼斯医生说，睡眠紊乱经常被诊断为其他毛病。睡眠有规律是很重要的。与睡前的活动也有关系。晚饭不要吃得太晚， 睡前避免过长时间的运动，洗个热水澡，都会使人睡得香一点。?
36. 【答案】C。?
【译文】平均而言，美国人的睡眠时间比过去少。?
【试题分析】事实细节题。?
【详细解答】答本题应仔细阅读头上两段。第2段说，美国人现在平均每天只睡7个半小时，比1910年平均睡9个小时要少得多。而且，有将近三分之一的美国人在工作完后只剩6个小时还不到的睡眠时间。对大多数人而言，这是不够的。故只有C是正确选项。?
37. 【答案】A。?
【译文】为了保证身体正常工作，我们应该至少有8个小时的睡眠时间。?
【试题分析】事实细节题。?
【详细解答】[JP+3]本题测试考生对第1段最后第2句话的理解。该句说，大多数男人和女人每晚需要8到8个半小时的睡眠时间才能保证他们的正常工作。因此A是正确答案。?
38. 【答案】C。?
【译文】作者认为，睡眠紊乱是由于不合理的睡眠方式引起的。?
【试题分析】事实细节题。?
【详细解答】第3段第3句说，“许多睡眠问题是由晚睡晚起、经常作跨时区旅行及上夜班引起的”。在这里只提到了“晚睡晚起”，即C所指的improper sleep patterns，而没有提到其他疾病、睡前锻炼和慢性疲劳综合症，因此惟有C是正确选项。?
39. 【答案】B。?
【译文】睡眠之前洗个热水澡可以帮助你睡的香一些。?
【试题分析】事实细节题。?
【详细解答】本题问的是下面的措施中哪一个可以帮助你睡得香一些。文章最后一句说，改变一下生活方式可以帮助你睡得香一些，句中列举的几项措施包括晚饭不要吃得太晚或洗个热水澡等。故B“洗个热水澡”是正确选项。?
40. 【答案】C。?
【译文】为了得到足够的睡眠，有必要牺牲其他事情。?
【试题分析】词语理解题。?
【详细解答】本题考对短语“sleep defensively”的意思理解，这要从上下文去理解。下面一句话说，人们须挤出足够的睡眠时间，哪怕这意味着放弃其他的事情。这就解释了该短语的意义。因此选项C“如果必要人们应牺牲其他事情来得到足够的睡眠”是正确答案。?
