To build their roads, the Romans moved away all soft soil. They g until they reached hard ground. Then they added layers(層)of stone and other things. The most important roads were paved(鋪設)with large flat(平)stones. Main Roman roads were sometimes as wide as ours today.

To build their roads, the Romans sometimes had to dig tunnels through mountains. But they didn't have any machines to help them. So they heated the rock with fire and then threw cold water over it. When the rock cracked(裂), they g it out. Roman soldiers and slaves built the roads with their hands and simple tools, but the roads were so well built that they were used for hundreds of years.

Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution, which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.

There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements that are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.

The movement of world opinion ring the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb.

1. This passage implies that war is now ___.

A. worse than in the past.

B. as bad as in the past

C. not so dangerous as in the past

D. as necessary as in the past

2. In the sentence 「To do this, we need to persuade mankind」 (Para 1), 「this」 refers to ___.

A. abolish war

B. improve weapons

C. solve international problems

D. live a peaceful life

3. From Paragraph 2 we learn that the author of the passage ___.

A. is an adherent of some modern ideologies.

B. does not think that adoption of any ideology could prevent war.

C. believe that the adoption of some ideology could prevent war.

D. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies.

4. According to the author, ___.

A. war is the only way to solve international disputes.

B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons.

C. it is impossible for the people to live without war.

D. war must be abolished if man wants to survive.

5. The last paragraph suggests that ___.

A. international agreements can be reached more easily now.

B. man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war.

C. nuclear war will definitely not take place.

D. world opinion welcomes nuclear war

Recent research has claimed that an excess of positive ions in the air can have an ill effect on people『s physical or psychological health. What are positive ions? Well， the air is full of ions， electrically charged particles， and generally there is a rough balance between the positive and the negative charged. But sometimes this balance becomes disturbed and a larger proportion of positive ions are found. This happens naturally before thunderstorm， earthquakes when winds such as the Mistral， Hamsin or Sharav are blowing in certain countries. Or it can be caused by a build-up of static electricity indoors from carpets or clothing made of man-made fibres， or from TV sets， plicators or computer display screens.

When a large number of positive ions are present in the air many people experience unpleasant effects such as headaches， fatigue， irritability， and some particularly sensitive people suffer nausea or even mental disturbance. Animals are also affected， particularly before earthquakes， snakes have been observed to come out of hibernation， rats to flee from their burrows， dogs howl and cats jump about unaccountably. This has led the US Geographical Survey to fund a network of volunteers to watch animals in an effort to foresee such disasters before they hit vulnerable areas such as California.

Conversely， when large numbers of negative ions are present， then people have a feeling of well-being. Natural conditions that proce these large amounts are near the sea， close to waterfalls or fountains， or in any place where water is sprayed， or forms a spray. This probably accounts for the beneficial effect of a holiday by the sea， or in the mountains with tumbling streams or waterfalls.

To increase the supply of negative ions indoors， some scientists recommend the use of ionisers： small portable machines， which generate negative ions. They claim that ionisers not only clean and refresh the air but also improve the health of people sensitive to excess positive ions. Of course， there are the detractors， other scientists， who dismiss such claims and are skeptical about negative/positive ion research. Therefore people can only make up their own minds by observing the effects on themselves， or on others， of a negative rich or poor environment. After all it is debatable whether depending on seismic readings to anticipate earthquakes is more effective than watching the cat.

1.What effect does exceeding positive ionization have on some people?

A.They think they are insane.

B.They feel rather bad-tempered and short-fussed.

C.They become violently sick.

D.They are too tired to do anything.

2.In accordance with the passage， static electricity can be caused by___.

A.using home-made electrical goods.

B.wearing clothes made of natural materials.

C.walking on artificial floor coverings.

D.ing TV programs on a computer.

3.A high negative ion count is likely to be found___.

A.near a pound with a water pump.

B.close to a slow-flowing river.

C.high in some barren mountains.

D.by a rotating water sprinkler.

4.What kind of machine can generate negative ions indoors?

A.Ionisers.

B.Air-conditioners.

C.Exhaust-fans

D.Vacuum pumps.

5.Some scientists believe that___.

A.watching animals to anticipate earthquakes is more effective than depending on seismography.

B.the unusual behavior of animals cannot be trusted.

C.neither watching nor using seismographs is reliable.

D.earthquake

For the past severalyears, the Sunday newspaper supplement Paradehas featured a column called "Ask Marilyn." People are invited to query Marilynvos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23years old; that gave her an IQ of 228 - the highest score ever recorded. IQtests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies, to envision paper afterit has been folded and cut, and to dece numerical sequences, among othersimilar tasks. So it is a bit confusing when vos Savant fields such queriesfrom the average Joe (whose IQ is 100) as, What's the difference between loveand fondness? Or what is the nature of luck and coincidence? ①It'snot obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numericalpatterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poetsand philosophers.

Clearly, intelligenceencompasses more than a score on a test. Just what does it mean to be smart?How much of intelligence can be specified, and how much can we learn about itfrom neurology, genetics, computer science and other fields?

The defining term ofintelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests arenot given as often as they used to be. The test comes primarily in two forms:the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales(both come in alt and children's version). Generally costing several hundreddollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, although variations ofthem populate bookstores and the World Wide Web. ②Superhigh scores like vos Savant's are nolonger possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical populationdistribution among age peers, rather than simply dividing the mental age by thechronological age and multiplying by 100. Other standardized tests,such as the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the Graate Record Exam(GRE), capture the main aspects of IQ tests.

Such standardized testsmay not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and inlife, argues Robert J. Sternberg. In his article "How Intelligent IsIntelligence Testing?", ③Sternberg notes that traditionaltest best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativityand practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and lifesuccess. Moreover, IQ test do not necessarilypredict so well once populations or situations change. Research has found thatIQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stressconditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated withleadership - that is, it predicted the opposite. Anyone who has toiled throughSAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters, whether it's knowing whento guess or what questions to skip.

1. Which of the following may be required in anintelligent test?

[A] Answeringphilosophical questions.

[B] Foldingor cutting paper into different shapes.

[C] Tellingthe difference between certain concepts.（D）

[D] Choosingwords or graphs similar to the given ones.

2. What can be inferred about intelligence testingfrom Paragraph 3?

[A] People nolonger use IQ scores as an indicator of intelligence.

[B] Moreversions of IQ tests are now available on the Internet.

[C] The testcontents and formats for alts and children may be different.（C）

[D]Scientists have defined the important elements of human intelligence.

3. People nowadays can no longer achieve IQ scoresas high as vos Savant's because

[A] thescores are obtained through different computational proceres.

[B]creativity rather than analytical skills is emphasized now.

[C] vosSavant's case is an extreme one that will not repeat.（A）

[D] thedefining characteristic of IQ tests has changed.

4. We can conclude from the last paragraph that

[A] testscores may not be reliable indicators of one's ability.

[B] IQ scoresand SAT results are highly correlated.

[C] testinginvolves a lot of guesswork.（A）

[D]traditional test are out of date.

5. What is the author's attitude towards IQ test?

[A]Supportive.

[B]Skeptical.

[C]Impartial.（B）

[D] Biased.

答案：CCACC

現在的美國兒童與他們的父母不同，受到各個方面的影響。這些影響中最重要的是電視節目，因為常常在孩子們還沒上學之間就養成了看電視的習慣了。

家長們對於兒童節目質量的'低下很擔憂。這些節目中出現的暴力的程度也煩惱著他們。研究顯示，當兒童接觸到暴力相關的節目，很多人會變得具有攻擊性或者沒有安全感。

家長們對於孩子們在電視上看到的廣告同樣也很擔憂。在兒童節目的時間，家長建議減少廣告的播出。一些家長甚至認為這種時間段的節目中根本不應該有廣告，鑒於兒童的思想還不夠成熟，不能對廣告中的一些話語做出判斷。

教育台沒有廣告，而且播出的兒童節目家長們都很贊賞。其中有個最有名的節目叫芝麻街，主要是給學齡前兒童關於數字和字母的啟蒙教育，以及對他們所在的世界的一些有幫助的認識。

即便大多數的家長和教育者給與芝麻街，以及這類的節目很高的評價，一些評論家還是認為所有的電視節目，無論教育性與否，對於兒童都是有害的。他們認為每天看幾個小時電視這種習慣讓兒童變成世界消極無聊且被動的取食者，而不是鼓勵兒童變成世界積極的探索者。

English literature

Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin，was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society，and was reading English literature.

At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics.In fact，his formal ecation was surprisingly brief for a gentleman，and incomplete For unlike other young Virginian of that day，he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg.In terms of formal training then，Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams，Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.In later years，Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress(國會)，or on any Subject that had not to do with everyday，practical matters And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders，he did not visit the country he admired SO much.Thus，unlike Jefferson and Adams，he never reached Europe

31.Why didnt Washington go to college?

A.His family could not afford it.

B A college ecation was rather uncommon in his time.

C.He didnt like the young Virginian gentlemen

D.The author doesnt give any reason.

32.Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he _____

A.1acked practice in public speaking

B.felt his ecation was not good enough

C.didnt like arguing and debating with people

D felt that debating was like intellectual training

33 The reason why Washington didnt visit France was probably that he _____

35.The main idea of the passage is that Washingtons ecation ____

A was of great variety，covering many Subjects

C.may seem poor by modern standards.but was good enough for his time

D was rather limited for a president

答案：DBCAD

George Washington 年輕時候的一些手札仍然保存完好。從這些手札中我們可以得知，當時的George Washington正在學習拉丁語言和閱讀一些英國文學，並對基本的優雅社交行為深感興趣。 在學校的學習中，George Washington好像只喜歡數學這一科。實際上，他作為一個標准紳士的正式教育是不完整的，簡直簡短的令人驚訝。和當時弗吉尼亞州的年輕人不同，他沒有去位於弗吉尼亞州府威廉堡的William and Mary 學院。那麼在正式的訓練方面，Washington和其他早期的美國總統——如John Adams, Thomas Jefferson 和James Madison就有著鮮明的對比。在後來的日子裡，Washington大概對自己教育的缺乏感到後悔了。無論是對於國會的商討活動，還是其他並不是每天都常見的問題，或者一些實踐性的事物，Washington始終不能輕松應對。而且因為他從沒學過法語，無法和法國的領導人直接交流，所以沒能去訪問這個他最嚮往的國家。因此，

和Jefferson還有Adams不同，他始終也沒有訪問過歐洲。

幽默爛慎數與魅力飢首

Leaders Who Use Humour and Charm to Reach the Top

Humour and charm are a surprisingly powerful combination as a means of ascent in life.

I have met a number of entrepreneurs who have built fortunes on the back of their wit and general popularity -and not much else. They disarm us with self-deprecation, we enjoy their company-so why wouldn't we want to do business with them? Of course, it all has to be done well; sycophancy and flat jokes do not weave the same spell.

The British feel that some light relief amid the drudgery is essential for existence to be tolerable. It seems to be a cornerstone of our psychology and culture. In London, to say someone has no sense of humour is to condemn them utterly. Many important meetings I attend start with a little friendly banter to break the ice, a ritual to remind us that we are all human-rather than simply robots of commerce.

I am sure foreigners must think our levity is baffling. My defence is that Brits subscribe to Horace's view: "A jest often decides matters of importance more effectively and happily than seriousness."

Some years ago, a partner of mine practised what I called "management by laughter". He motivated and inspired by making the atmosphere at work fun, rather than the bullying and intimidation common in many workplaces.

But the 21st-century office can be a minefield for the amateur who enjoys a giggle. I was recently warned about a trap being sprung by a professional gang from eastern Europe. They plant an attractive female staff member in an organisation. At roughly the same time, a male co-conspirator also gets a job; the connection between them is unknown to the employer. After a little while, he sends a series of highly suggestive internet jokes to the pretty female. She complains of harassment and threatens to bring an embarrassing employment tribunal involving sexual discrimination-and, once she reveals that she has hired expert legal advisers and PR agents, the victim business settles quickly.

In these litigious, politically correct times, the perils of making cheap gags can be considerable. Recently, I attended a dinner at a trade conference. The speaker was a well-known executive who told a number of jokes in poor taste, some at the expense of influential figures in the room. Just as a vulgar best man's speech at a wedding can strike the wrong note, so I sensed as we chatted after the speech that the jibes would not be swiftly forgotten.

Some one once said: "Brains, integrity and force may be all very well, but what you need today is charm." This is the age of celebrity, even in the boardroom, and none of us is impervious to the presence of those legendary characters when they switch on the full blast of their glittering personality. Perhaps it is their reputation, perhaps their smile, perhaps their brilliance with words-or possibly their rapt attention.

I am often struck how often young children utter the phrase "Look at me!" They want appreciation, and fundamentally not much changes, even when we are 50. Genuine approval from the boss can taste better than anything-even a pay rise.

Are charm and a sense of humour acquired traits? They certainly improve with effort and practice. Ronald Reagan used his years in showbiz to hone his performance skills before succeeding in politics.

I have sat with stand-up comics before they go on stage. The most brilliant appear almost nonchalant, rather than rehearsed or anxious, and their acts are mostly learnt word-perfect yet appear spontaneous.

So it is with outstanding business leaders who persuade their teams to laugh and try harder: they apply themselves assiously to the task. Most world-class chief executives possess charisma-really a captivating blend of charm and wit. And, believe me, they graft at it far more than they admit.

領導靠幽默與魅力發跡

作為人生發跡的手段之一，幽默和魅力是一對效力驚人的組合。

我遇見過許多憑借風趣機智和好人緣白手起家的企業家。他們謙和自斂，讓我們生不起氣來。我們與他們相處愉快一一所以我們為什麼不與他們做生意呢?當然，這裡面必須講求技巧。一味溜頸拍馬，開一些乾巴巴的玩笑，不會產生同樣的魔力。

英國人認為，人生在世，就得苦中作樂。這似乎是我們心理學和文化的一條基本原則。在倫敦，說一個人缺乏幽默感，等於是說他一無是處。我出席的許多重要會議，都以一些善意的玩笑開場，以此打破沉默。這種慣例提醒我們，我們都是凡人，而不完全是商業機器。

外國人肯定認為我們的輕浮舉止不可理喻。要讓我說，我們英國人是贊同賀拉斯的觀點：「遇到大事，比起一本正經的態度，開開玩笑固能夠更有效、也更開心地解決問題。」

幾年前，我的一位合夥人實行我所說的「歡笑管理」。他鼓舞和激勵士氣的方法，是營造充滿樂趣的工作氛圍，不同於許多工作場所常見的威逼和脅迫的氛圍。

然而，對於喜歡逗笑取樂的人來說，21世紀的職場可能會是個雷區。我最近聽到警告，說一個來自東歐的專業犯罪團伙會設下這樣的圈套：在一家機構安插一名漂亮迷人的女員工，再讓一名男同夥也混進去。兩人前後腳進入這家公司，他們的關系不為人所知。不久後，他就向那位美女發送了一堆黃色網路笑話。於是她投訴遭到騷擾，並威脅要以性別歧視為由，告到讓人頭大的就業法庭。而一旦她透露出已聘請了專業法律顧問和公關代理，受害企業就會趕緊花錢了事。

在這種動輒法庭上見、政治上正確的時代，講低級笑話可能會相當危險。我最近出席了一個貿易會議舉辦的晚宴，席間一位頗有名氣的高管發表了演講。他講了許多低級趣味的笑話，有些還是取笑在座的顯要人物。演講後我們在閑聊時，我感覺到，他的那些話不會被很快忘記，這與婚禮上伴郎講話粗俗不合時宜一樣。

曾有人說：「擁有才智、誠實和力量固然不錯，但當今你需要的是魅力。」 這是一個名人的時代，即使在董事會也是如此。那些鼎鼎大名的人物一旦全力展現他們迷人的個性或者是名聲、或者是微笑、或者是口才，又或者是專注的神情，投入能夠抵禦。

小孩子常常會說「看我的!」，對此我常常感到驚訝。他們想要得到贊賞。這一點在長大後基本上也不會改變，即使到了50歲。老闆真心的稱贊比什麼——甚至加薪，都更讓人覺得受用。

魅力和幽默感能夠後天培養嗎?努力練習肯定會有作用。羅納德·里根早年在演藝界干過，練得一身表演才能，後來才進入政界，成就了一番事業。

我曾經在一些笑星登台前與他們坐在一起。最出色的笑星出場前幾乎都顯得若無其事，既沒有背台詞，也沒有焦慮不安。他們表演的內容基本上都是事先背下來的，但卻顯得像是即興發揮。

傑出的企業領導能夠讓他的團隊既開心又賣力工作：他們自己會勤於工作。世界級的首席執行官大多魅力非凡——這實際上是吸引力和風趣機智的迷人組合。另外，請相信我，他們花費在這上面的心力，遠遠超過他們所承認的。

句型講解：

1. She complains of harassment and threatens to bring an embarrassing employment tribunal involving sexual discrimination-and, once she reveals that she has hired expert legal advisers and PR agents, the victim business settles quickly.

本句是一個復合句，主句是由and連接的兩個並列的句子。第一個句子中， and連接兩個並列的謂語， involving sexual discrimination現在分詞短語作後置定語，修飾employment tribunal.第二個句子中，once引導時間狀語從句，其中that引導賓語從句，作reveal的賓語。

語法重點：並列結構，分詞短語作定語，時間狀語從句，賓語從句

2. Just as a vulgar best man's speech at a wedding can strike the wrong note, so I sensed as we chatted after the speech that the jibes would not be swiftly forgotten.

原文翻譯及答案解析

你能想像沒有炸薯條的生活嗎?當今薯條很受歡迎。但是過去並非如此。五千年前土豆生長在南美。但是直到兩百年前土豆才在別的地方流行起來。

十六世紀，西班牙人把土豆從南美帶到了歐洲。但是歐洲人們並不喜歡這種奇怪的蔬菜。一些人認為如果你吃土豆，你的皮膚會看起來像土豆。另一些人無法相信植物長在地下的那一部分也可以吃。因此他們吃土豆的葉子。因為土豆葉子有毒，所以他們都病倒了。十九世紀，世界其他地方的人開始吃土豆。在愛爾蘭，土豆成了人們的主食。然後，在1845年，一種疾病殺死了愛爾蘭所有的土豆。這使得兩百萬人死於飢餓。

當今，在每個國家都有土豆做成的菜餚。德國人吃土豆沙拉，美國人吃烤土豆。當然法國人發明了薯條，而現在薯條在全世界都很受歡迎。

59.A【精析】細節題。題干意為“土豆是什麼時候開始在南美以外的地方流行的?”從本文第一段的最後一句“But they only became popular in other places two hundred years ago.”可知，直到兩百年前土豆才在別的地方流行起來，故A正確。

60.C【精析】細節題。題干意為“為什麼某些歐洲人最初拒絕吃土豆?”從文章第二段第三句“some people thought that if you ate pota—toes your skin would look like tlle skin of a potato.”可知，一些人認為如果你吃土豆，你的皮膚會看起來像土豆，故C正確。

61.A【精析】細節題。題干意為“在1845年，愛爾蘭為什麼會有兩百萬人死去?”從文章第三段第三、四句“Then，in l845，a disease killedall tlle potmoes in Ireland.Two million people died of hunger.”可知，1845年，一場疾病殺死了愛爾蘭所有的土豆，這使得兩百萬人死於飢餓，故A正確。

62.B【精析】推理題。題干意為“從最後一段，我們可以得出什麼?”由最後一段可知，土豆在各個國家都是一道菜，但是做法不同，故B正確。

原文翻譯及答案解析

有越來越多的寵物主人用未加工的，也就是未煮過的肉和骨頭來喂他們的寵物。威廉·伯克，一位來自美國食品與葯品管理局的寵物食品專家，認為用未經加工的肉喂寵物違背了保護公眾防止其受到健康威脅的目標。此外，未經加工的肉和骨頭不能提供寵物每天所需的所有營養物質。

知道這些食物有多麼受歡迎之後，美國食品與葯品管理局為寵物食品的生產商們提供了指導方針，這些食品包括狗、貓和其他寵物吃的未經加工的肉。這些指導方針列出了一些規則來保護寵物主人和寵物以免遭受有關食品安全和缺乏營養的危險。

伯克說，喂未經加工的肉和骨頭的寵物主人應該非常小心地處理這些食品以保護自己免遭可能的危險。正如為人類做飯一樣，要用熱水和肥皂去洗手、洗容器，並洗一些可能與食物有接觸的表面。洗手之前不要把手放在嘴邊，在寵物剛剛吃過肉之後不要讓寵物碰到你的臉。如果主人選擇喂寵物骨頭，那麼在寵物吃骨頭時，一定要在旁邊看著。伯克還說，“如果寵物吃一大塊不能通過它的消化系統的骨頭的話，那會要了它的命。”

63.D【精析】推理題。題干意為“威廉·伯克如何看待喂寵物未煮熟的東西這件事?”由本文第一段可知，伯克認為用未經加工的肉喂寵物有違保護公眾防止遭到健康威脅的目標。此外，未經加工的肉和骨頭不能提供給寵物們所有它們所需要的營養物質，故D正確。

64.D【精柝】推理題。題干意為“為什麼美國食品與葯品管理局為寵物食品的生產商提供指導方針?”由本文第二段可知，知道這些食物有多麼受歡迎之後，美國食品與葯品管理局為寵物食品的生產商們提供指導方針，這些食品包括狗、貓和其他寵物吃的未經加工的肉。這些指導方針列出了一些規則保護寵物主人和寵物以免遭受有關食品安全和缺乏營養的危險，故D正確。

65.A【精析】推理題。題干意為“那些喂寵物吃沒有經過加工的食物的主人們需要在什麼時候做些必要的清理?”由本文第三段可知，喂未經加工的肉和骨頭的寵物主人應該非常小心地處理這些食品以保護自己免遭可能的危險。正如為人類做飯一樣，要用熱水和肥皂去洗手、洗容器，並洗一些可能與食物有接觸的表面。洗手之前不要把手放在嘴邊，在寵物剛剛吃過肉之後不要讓寵物碰到你的臉，故A正確。

66.B【精析】細節題。題干意為“最後一段作者給寵物主人什麼建議?”根據文章最後一段第一句“…they should watch their pet carefully when it is eating bones.”可知，在寵物吃骨頭時，主人一定要在旁邊看著，故B正確。

There are some objects in the sky that move so quickly that sometimes you only see them outof the comer of your eye.These are some of the huge number of bits of rock and st that are floating around in space, called meteoroids.Normally, we cannot see them at all, but if they travel tooclose to the Earth, they get caught by the pull of the Earth, and begin to fall towards us.They fallfaster and faster, until they hit our atmosphere (大氣層), by which time they are going so fast thatthey begin to bum up, and all that you see is a flash of light that moves very quickly across the skyand disappears.These shooting stars, or meteors as they are properly called, are quite common,and sometimes you may see several in a night.

Most meteoroids are very small bits indeed, and they bum up long before they get to theEarth.However, a very few do manage to get all the way through the atmosphere, and actually fallto the ground.usually they do not do much damage, although this is not always the case.

Meteoroids that actually manage to reach the Earth are called meteorites.Most countries haveplaces where meteorites have struck the Earth.some of these places are very large indeed and aretourist attractions.

67.Why do some objects from outer space fall to the ground?

A.They are too big.

B.They are hit by huge rocks.

A.move fast in outer space

B .have been found at a tourist centre

C.flash through space at a high speed

D.have fallen onto the Earth from space

原文翻譯及答案解析

天空中許多物體移動速度如此之快,以至於有時它們在你眼前轉瞬即逝.它們是漂浮在空中被稱為流星體的許多巨大的岩石和灰塵的碎片.通常我們根本看不見它們,但是如果它們太靠近地球,就會被地球引力吸住,開始向我們掉落.它們下降的速度越來越快,直到它們穿過大氣層,那時它們的速度如此之快以至於它們開始燃燒,你所能看到的只是一道光劃過天空,然後消失不見.這些疾馳的星星,或稱流星(他們恰當的稱謂),是十分常見的.有時候一晚上就可以看見好幾個.

事實上大多數流星體都非常小,在它們到達地球之前就已經燃燒了很久.然而只有很少的能夠一路穿過大氣層,真正地掉落到地面.通常它們不會造成什麼傷害,雖然也有例外.

真的到達地面的流星被稱為隕石.大多數國家都有一些地方有隕石掉落.事實上某些地方的隕石如此之大,已經成了旅遊景點.

67.D【精析】細節題.題干意為“為什麼外太空的一些物體會掉落到地面?”根據文章第一段第三句“Normally,we cannot see them at a11.but if they travel too close to the Earth.they get caught by the pull of the Earth,and begin to fall towards US.”可知,作者認為通常我們根本看不見它們,但是如果它們太靠近地球,它們就會被地球引力吸住,開始向我們掉落,故D正確.

68.C【精析】細節題.題干意為“從文中我們對流星有哪些了解?”從文章第一段第四句話可知,那時它們的速度如此之快以至於它們開始燃燒,你所能看到的只是一道光劃過天空,然後消失不見.由此推出,流星消失得非常快,故C正確.

69.A【精析】推理題.題干意為“大部分流星在穿過大氣層時會發生什麼?”由文章第一段可知,那時它們的速度如此之快以至於它們開始燃燒,你所能看到的只是一道光劃過天空,然後消失不見.由此推出,流星穿過大氣層時會燃燒,故A正確.

70.D【精析】細節題.題干意為“‘meteorites’(第三段第一行)是指那些__________的石頭碎片.”根據本文第三段第一句話“Meteoroids that actually manage to reach the Earth are called meteorites.”可知,真的到達地面的流星被稱為隕石,故D正確.

2017全國英語等級考試三級閱讀真題及譯文答案

導語：閱讀理解是公共英語當中對考生來說比較難的一個題目，因為選項當中有很多迷惑人的答案，下面是我提供的2017全國英語等級考試三級閱讀真題及譯文答案，大家先練練手吧!

【2017全國英語等級考試三級閱讀真題及譯文答案一】

Today there are three different kinds of New Yorkers: the people who act as if they were born here; the people who are here and wish to be elsewhere; and the collection of virtual New Yorkers all over the world, who wish they were hying in New York. These are the three States of mind and what they have in common are longing and illusion. In fact, it' s a city of dreamers.

What makes New York special? New Yorkers are convinced of its speciainess--but Toronto is more diverse, London is larger, Washington is more powerful. So why does New York think it' s the capital of the world?

People often explain the problems in European cities by citing inequality. But New York today is one of the most unequal cities in America. In 2010, 1 percent of New Yorkers earned 45 percent of its income. That works out to an average of $ 3.7 million a year for the city' s top 34,500 households. The average daily income of this group is greater than the average annual income of the city's bottom 10 percent.

So why would people still come to try their luck in this tough place? Is it opportunity or illu- sion that draws them?

They come because any newcomer can find a place in the hierarchy of New York. If you look at a New York City restaurant, for example, the cook might be French, the people washing dishes might be Mexican, the hostess might be Russian, the owner might be British. They arc not all equal. They earn different rates. But they work together to get food to hungry people.

What New York demonstrates is this: immigration works. The city can use its immigrants, even the illegal ones. Though they broke the law by illegally crossing the borders, the city' s econ- omy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. Attracted here by the founding myth of the city, each immigrant is seeking to escape from history, personal and political. For him, New York is the city of the second chance.

46. The writer mentions the three kinds of New Yorkers to stress that_______

A. they share the same longingB. they are in pursuit of dreams

C. they are proud of their birthplace D. they wish to live in another place

47. In the eyes of New Yorkers, their city is_______

A. powerful

B. diverse

C. special

D. large

48. The figures in paragraph 3 are given to show that New York_______

A. favors the lucky

B. favors tue locals

C. is a city of inequality

D. is a city of opportunities

49. People keep coming to New York because they can find jobs that_______

A. challenge them

B. suit them well

C. pay them well

D. raise their status

50. It is hnplied in the text that New York is_______

A. a tolerant city

B. a wealthy city

C. a mythical city

D. a historical city

譯文

當今有三種不同類型的紐約人：第一種表現得好像他們生來就在紐約;第二種雖然在紐約卻希望生活在別處;第三種是來自世界各地的一群希望生活在紐約的虛擬紐約人。這是三種不同的心態，其共同點是憧憬和幻想。事實上，這是一座夢想家的城市。

是什麼使得紐約與眾不同?紐約人確信紐約是獨一無二的—但是多倫多更加多元化，倫敦更大，華盛頓更有權勢。那麼，為什麼紐約認為自己是世界之都呢?人們常常說歐洲的城市問題是不平等。但是當今的紐約是美國最不平等的城市之一。2010年，l%的紐約人的收入佔到全紐約的45%。這意味著這個城市最有錢的34，500個家庭的平均年收入是370萬美元。這個群體平均日收入要多於這個城市最貧窮的l0%的人的平均年收入。那麼，為什麼仍然有人願意到這樣一個不平等的地方來碰運氣呢?吸引他們來到這里的是機會還是幻覺?他們來到這里是因為任何新來者都可以在紐約的不同層級中找到自己的位置。例如，你隨便看一家紐約的飯店，他們的廚師可能是法國人，洗盤子的可能是墨西哥人，女服務員可能是俄羅斯人，店主人可能是英國人。他們並不完全平等。他們賺得不同的收入。但是他們一起工作把食物提供給飢餓的人們。紐約向我們展示的是：移民很有用。這座城市利用它的移民，甚至非法移民。雖然他們非法跨越邊境破壞了法律，但是如果他們不那樣做，這座城市的經濟將只是一個空殼，如果把他們驅逐出境，這座城市的經濟也會崩潰。被這座城市的傳說所吸引，每個移民都想到這里來尋求一種對過去、個人以及政治生活的解脫。對於這樣的移民來說，紐約是給了他第二次生命的城市。

答案

46.B【精析】主旨題。根據第一段內容可知，當今有三種不同類型的紐約人：第一種表現得好像他們生來就在紐約;第二種雖然在紐約卻希望生活在別處;第三種是來自全世界的一群希望生活在紐約的虛擬的紐約人。這是三種不同的心態，其共同點是憧憬和幻想。事實上，這是一座夢想家的城市。故選B。

47.C 【精析】細節題。根據第二段第一、二句話：什麼使得紐約與眾不同?紐約人確信紐約是獨一無二的`。故選C。

48.C【精析】細節題。根據第三段第二句話：但是當今的紐約是美國最不平等的城市之一。故選C。

50.A【精析】推斷題。根據最後一段可知，紐約吸納了各種移民者(不論是否合法)來促進自己城市的經濟發展。由此可以推知，紐約是一個寬容的城市，故選A。

【2017全國英語等級考試三級閱讀真題及譯文答案二】

We' ve read how babies stare longer and cry less when held by pretty people, and heard tales of handsome children doing better in school, given special attention by their teachers. In life, as in love, beautiful people seem to have it awfully easy. But what if we told you that when it comes to online dating, good looks could actually hurt you?

According to a recent survey of 43,000 users by OK Cupid, an online dating site, the moremen disagree about a woman' s looks, the more they end up liking her. What does that mean for ladies looking for a match? " We now have mathematical evidence that minimizing your weaknesses' is the opposite of what you should do," says the site's co-founder, Christian Rudder. "If you' re a little fat, play it up. If you have a big nose, play it up. Statistically, the guys who don't like it can only help you, and the ones who do like it will be all the more excited. "

The results of this study end up highlighting an idea that recent scientific research does indeed support. Which is this: the beautiful may have it good, but online, as in work and life, women who are too attractive don't always have an advantage.

Beauty creates more competition--among women, taught they must out-look each other for men and jobs and everyday satisfaction; and among men, who are competing for the most attrac- tive prize. All of which might help explain why 47 percent of corporate recruiters believe it' s pos- sible for a woman to suffer for being "too good-looking" ; why attractive women tend to face heightened examination from their female peers; or, finally, why men on OK Cupid end up con- tacting women who may ultimately be less attractive--because it removes the opposition. "If you suspect other men are uninterested, it means less competition," explains Rudder. "You might start thinking: maybe she's lonely., maybe she's just waiting to find a guy who appreciates her. at least I won' t get lost in the crowd. "

In the end, being beautiful will always have its blessings--but sometimes, there' s more to an

advantage than meets the eye.

51. It is generally believed that beautiful people_______

A. have less difficult in life

B. are less worried about love

C. pay less attention to others

D. like to gaze at lovely babies

52. The OK Cupid survey found that men' s arguments over a woman' s looks

A. have little meaning

B. benefit online dating

C. will actually hurt her

D. add to her popularity

53. Christian Rudder advises women to_______

A. play up their physical advantages

B. view their popularity scientifically

C. highlight their physical weaknesses

D. accept guys who are willing to help

54. The attitude of women toward their attractive peers is_______

A. critical

B. friendly

C. conservative

D. straightforward

55. The main idea of the text is that a woman' s good looks_______

A. help to shape ideas of beauty

B. can put her at a disadvantage

C. end up with blessings for her

D. will always appeal to the eye

譯文

我們讀過很多文章是關於漂亮的人抱著嬰兒，嬰兒會盯著看得時間更久，並且會哭得更少;也聽過一些傳說關於長得好的人在學校的表現更好。並且會受到老師的特殊照顧。在生活中，正如在愛情中一樣，漂亮的人似乎生活得更容易。但是如果我們告訴你，在網上約會時，長得好看可能會傷害你，你會怎麼樣?根據一家互聯網約會網站——0K丘比特最近一項針對43，000名用戶所做的調查，男人越是不喜歡一位女士的外貌，最終越是可能喜歡上她。對於尋求另一半的女士來說，這意味著什麼呢?“我們現在有絕對的證據表明你不應該隱藏自己的缺點，”該網站的合夥創辦人——克里斯丁·盧德說。“如果你有點胖，突出它。如果你鼻子大，突出它。統計數據表明，不喜歡你的缺點的人只會幫助你，然而喜歡的人會更加興奮。”

這個研究結果最終強調了，最近的科學研究確實支持了這一觀點。該觀點是：漂亮可能會有好處，但是在互聯網上，正如在工作和生活中一樣，太有吸引力的女性並不總是有優勢。美麗帶采更多的競爭，女性受到的教育是為了得到男人、工作以及日常的滿足，她們必須比其他女性長得好看;而男性競爭是為了獲得最好的戰利品。這一切可能有助於解釋為什麼47%的招聘單位都認為長得太好看的女性可能會受苦;為什麼女性同伴們對於長得好看的女性更加挑剔;最後一點，為什麼在OK丘比特網站男性最終找的都是不怎麼吸引人的女性——因為這減少了很多對手。“如果你覺得其他男性不感興趣，那意味著更少的競爭，”盧德解釋說。“你可能認為：可能她很孤獨….可能她只是等著找一位欣賞她的男士…，至少我不會迷失在人群巾，”最終，長得好看總是幸運的，但是有時候與養眼相比還有更多可以成為優勢的方面。

答案

51.A【精析】細節題。文章第一段詳細介紹了這一點：我們讀過很多文章是關於嬰兒由漂亮的人抱著，會盯著看得時間更久，並且會哭得更少;也聽過一些傳說關於長得好的人在學校的表現也更好，並且受到老師的特殊照顧。在生活中，正如在愛情中一樣，漂亮的人似乎生活得更容易點。故選A。

52.D【精析】細節題。根據第二段可知，0K丘比特最近針對43，000名用戶所做的調查顯示，男人越是不看好一位女士的外貌，最終越是可能會喜歡上她。故選D。

53.C【精析】細節題。根據第二段可知，克里斯丁·盧德建議女士們不要隱藏自己的缺點，要突出它。故選C。

54.A【精析】細節題。根據第四段第二句可知，女性同伴們對於長得好的女性更加挑剔，故選A。

55.B【精析】推斷題。根據第四段可知，美麗引起更多的競爭，很多招聘單位都認為長得太好看的女性可能容易受苦;女性同伴們對於長得好的女性更加挑剔;在OK丘比特網站男性最終找的都是不怎麼吸引人的女性。因此可推知，女性的美貌不總是帶來優勢，有時候也會帶來不利。故選B。

四年級閱讀題。急！

在人類的語言中，最激動人心的字眼是什麼？
我可以用兩幅畫來回答這個問題：一個十四歲的男孩提著旅行箱下樓來，他走到母親的房門前，放下提箱，走進去。這個男孩很久以前就立志要遨遊四海，現在離別的時刻已經來到，他向母親辭行。他知道她不願意他離去。他端詳著母親那熟悉的愁容，因為近年來她的眼睛逐漸失明了。他也注意到母親那掩飾不住的悲傷。他再也不忍心了，就走出房門，提起旅行箱走上樓去，繼續留在家中。第一幅畫面的是一個人騎著馬，站在校園的一棵榆樹下。他將率領他的同胞為爭獨立自由而站，他就是美國的第一任總統。那個男孩「變成」了這個人。
另一張圖畫是：在新罕布希爾州的腓力艾西特學院的校園中，有一個十二歲的男孩在哭泣，因為他受到同學的譏笑很想回家。他穿著一身怪異的衣服，那是他母親縫制的，上面沾滿油污。因為他的衣服與眾不同，所以同學都嘲笑他。他想回家的另一個主要原因是：下星期五他不敢上台演講，他知道他父親為了送他上學已經把農場抵押，他也曉得若想成功就必須受教育，但是他仍然想回家，因為不敢上台演講而哭泣。第二幅畫畫的是下個超群出眾的人，現在他站在元老院的大廳中，將要起草美國史上最偉大的文獻之一——獨立宣言。那個哭哭啼啼的男孩「變成」了這個人。
這就是我們的答案，這個偉大的激動人心的字眼就是「變成」，青年的偉大不在於他做了什麼，而在於他「將變成什麼」。展現在青年面前的是掩映在迷濛的晨霧中那充滿著光明和驚奇的未來。
1.少年並沒有離去，特繼續留在家中，你知道是什麼原因嗎？換上是你呢？
2.在第一幅畫中，那個少年變成了什麼？簡單表述以下這幅畫。
3.那個12歲的男孩為什麼哭泣？更重要的原因呢？
4.第二福中的那個「超群出眾」的人准備干什麼？想想此時的他會是怎樣的神態？
5.最偉大的激動人心的自言是什麼？你是怎樣理解這個字眼的？
答案：
1答：少年變沒有離去，是因為放心不下，他那失眠的母親。因為少年知道，如果他這么一走。他的母親生活將變的非常辛苦，因為那幾乎快失眠的眼睛。
2答：在第一幅畫中，那個少年變成了美國第一任總統。
他就是喬治·華盛頓（1732—1799）是美國第一任總統，美國獨立戰爭時期大陸軍總司令，他領導美國人民取得了獨立戰爭的勝利。華盛頓作為
美國大種植園主和新興資產階級利益的著名代表人物，對美利堅合眾國的誕生、發展有著巨大的貢獻，被美國民眾稱為「國父」。也正如亨利·李所說：「 戰爭的第一人，和平中的第一人，他的同胞中的第一人」喬治·華盛頓作為一位資產階級革命家、軍事家、政治家，在世界歷史上佔有卓越的地位。
3答：因為那12歲的小男孩，家境比較窮買不起新的衣服，所以覺得如果這樣上台會被人取笑，會被人議論紛紛。這樣會使得他心靈上備受打擊，所以放棄了自己的榮譽而哭泣！
4答：所謂的超群出眾的人應該就是指，所謂的領導人吧，他此刻的心態應該是想帶領人們走向自由不在被壓迫吧.
5答：感覺偉大不是自己說出來的，是要別人承認你是個偉大的人，這才是真正的偉大吧

父愛陷阱
那年，他隨父親去狩獵，不慎掉進陷阱。突如其來的一陣黑暗，使他無法適應。他拚命掙扎，拚命呼喊父親，但是這一切都是徒勞的。他清楚，不久前，父親出獵時，耳朵受了傷，一直沒康復。他所有的呼喊，父親可能真的聽不到。
可是，他居然看見井口邊，父親正在伸頭探望。他喜出望外，揮動雙手，大聲地喊著，爹，我在這兒！爹，我在這兒！父親還是沒聽見。也許是陷阱內的光線太暗，父親看了一會兒，沒發現他，就轉身離開了。那一刻，他急得哭了。
他沿著井壁走了一周，沒發現任何能攀援的地方，要想離開陷阱，憑他的能力，幾乎是不可能的。他絕望地坐在地上，等待救援。時間一分一秒地過去，他期待著父親能早點再找到這里，並能發現他。
井下昏暗潮溼，坐在井底，他感到了陣陣寒意。更糟糕的是，他感覺肚子前所未用地飢餓。父親一時找不到他，可能回村裡喊救兵了。他意識到，即使父親能以最快的速度趕回來，也需要兩天的時間，那麼，他能堅持兩天嗎？而他現在唯一能做的，只有耐心地等待。
周邊非常安靜，他知道，夜幕開始降臨了。忽然，他聽到一陣窸窸窣窣的聲音，好像是井邊的草叢在響，可能是危險動物向井邊靠近了。他無法想像，即使是一隻常見的獾子，跟他同時窩在一個陷阱內，後果也難以接受。更何況在森林裡，危險的動物不計其數。
他提起警覺，掏出那把獵刀，作好了隨時跟動物拚命的准備。幸運的是那聲音一會兒又消失了--動物可能轉個方向離開了。他鬆了一口氣，再次坐到地上。
沒多久，困意向他襲來，他閉上了眼睛。忽然那聲音再次響起，他重新提高了警惕。他意識到，在井內比在任何地方都危險，他沒有退路，他必須時刻保持清醒。但是堅持不了多久，他又鬆懈了，只有聽到井口的聲音，他才又振作起來。
夜深了，他不再指望父親能來救他。如果父親真的不來，那麼，他將永遠被困在井內。對於他來說，等待或許才是最危險的。想到這里，他再次站起來，沿著井壁尋找出路。他發現，井壁其實都是些松軟的泥土，他掏出獵刀，在井壁上挖出階梯，挖一步，向上爬一步。他相信，只要他能堅持住，不久就可以爬出陷阱。
他終於成功了！當他爬到井口時，黎明的霞光正照射過來，明亮而美麗。他幾乎耗盡了所有力氣，一 *** 坐在草地上。
突然，他一躍而起，好像踩上了毒蛇一般--他發現了父親！父親竟然就站在一棵大樹後面，靜靜地看著他，身邊的草叢凌亂不堪。那一刻，他幾乎氣暈了--父親竟然一直守在井口，任由他在井內痛苦地掙扎。他沒想到父親竟然如此冷漠絕情。
父親滿臉憔悴，看到他，顯得非常興奮，趕忙跑過來擁抱他。
他一把將父親推開，氣急敗壞地說，我沒有你這個見死不救的父親！
父親伸出的手僵住了，愣了愣，顯得很愧疚。父親說，對不起。
他說，你知道，我在井裡多麼期盼著你來救我；而你，竟然就一直守在井口看著我痛苦。
父親說，我知道你掉入陷阱，但是，我也知道，憑你的能力，能順利爬出陷阱。因為井壁的土質很松軟，只要有把獵刀就能順利爬出來，而你身上就有一把獵刀。整個晚上，我守在井口，一步不敢離開，因為隨時會有動物靠近陷阱。為了提醒你，我不得不用腳踩草叢，製造聲音，幸運的是，昨天晚上一直沒有任何動物出現。我知道，你習慣了等待救助，但是，更多的情況下，你等不到救援你必須學會自救！這便是我挖這口陷阱的初衷。
他的雙眼溼潤了，他理解了父親的苦心。他撲進父親懷里，說，爹，對不起！父親擁抱著他，開心地笑了。
那年，他才十三歲，卻一夜間成熟得像個老獵人。

小學四年級的英語趣味小故事附中文

The Wolf and the Lamb 狼與小羊
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
一隻小羊在河邊喝水，狼見到後，便想找一個名正言順的借口吃掉他。於是他跑到上游，惡狠狠地說小羊把河水攪渾濁了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答說，他僅僅站在河邊喝水，並且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水攪渾。狼見此計不成，又說道：「我父親去年被你罵過。」小羊說，那時他還沒有出生。狼對他說：「不管你怎樣辯解，反正我不會放過 你。」
這說明，對惡人做任何正當的辯解也是無效的。

The Sandwich Generation

Today people often look forward to their middle age as a time when they will be able to take things easier. After their children are grown, they expect to enjoy the life they have worked hard to create. However the reality is often very different. In middle age, many people discover that they have two ongoing responsibilities: one is to look after their aging parents, and the other is to help their young alt children deal with the pressures of life. Around the world, there are millions of people who are "sandwiched" in between the older and the younger generations. Sometimes there may be two or three generations living in the same household -- a situation that is common in many Asian countries and in some parts of Europe. In other cases, a couple may be taking care of parents and children, but they do not live with them.

There are two important reasons for the rise of the sandwich generation. First, people are living longer than they used to. In the early nineteenth century, the average life expectancy for alts in the United States, for example, was about 40, whereas today people live to an average age of 75. Therefore, children are taking care of their parents over a longer period of time. The second reason is that these days, young alts often live with their parents for a longer time than they did in the past. This is often for financial reasons. It's also more common for today's young alts to return home ring or after college if they need financial

or emotional support.

People who take care of elderly parents often face difficult issues. They may have to cover expenses that their parents cannot. They may have to manage their parents, financial and legal affairs. They may have to prepare for their parents, future needs, such as special medical care or a move to a nursing home. This can be a traumatic experience for everyone.

Caring for alt children presents challenges as well, and caregivers have to resolve important questions: How can financial responsibilities be shared among members of the household? How can household chores be shared? What is the best way to ensure everyone's privacy? Successfully coping with these issues can avoid a lot of stress for the whole family.

The financial and emotional pressures on the sandwich generation can be overwhelming.

However, this time in life also has its rewards. It can be a time to rediscover the special qualities of one's parents or children. It can also provide a valuable opportunity to spend more time with them.

However, in order to survive this difficult period in their lives, the members of the sandwich generation must remember that they also need to pay attention to their own needs and look after the quality of their own lives. They can't be totally selfless.

41. According to the first paragraph, many people in middle age

A. can't enjoy their life as they have expected.

B. are able to take things easier when their children are grown.

C. can't enjoy their life because they haven't worked hard enough.

D. are facing great pressure from their work.

42. Which is true about the sandwich generation?

A. Their parents are unable to take care of themselves.

B. Their parents are often facing the pressures of life.

C. They all have to live with their parents and children.

D. They are torn between the responsibilities for their parents and children.

43. Why do some young alts choose to live with their parents these days?

A. They are too young to be independent from their parents.

B. They want to help their parents to take care of their aging grandparents.

C. They need support from their parents to deal with their financial problems.

D. They are more emotional than the young alts in the past.

44. The sandwich generation face the following challenges EXCEPT

A. sharing household chores.

B. determining who is the caregiver of the family.

C. ensuring everyone's privacy.

D. shouldering the financial responsibilities of the household.

45. To survive the difficult period in their lives, the sandwich generation need to_________.

A. be totally selfless.

B. rediscover the merits of their children.

C. value the time spent with their parents.

D. consider their own well-being.

答案與解析

41.A。細節題。題干：根據文章的意思，很多中年人。根據第一段第二、三句可知，當孩子長大後，中年人期望能享受努力工作創造的生活，然而，現實卻不是這樣。由此可知，很多中年人不能如願地享受生活。故本題選A(無法過上他們期望的生活)。

42.D。細節判斷題。題干：關於三明治一代，下列哪個描述是正確的?根據第一段第四句可知，很多中年人發現他們正肩負著兩種責任：一個是照顧日益年長的父母，另一個是幫助年輕的孩子處理生活的壓力。第一段第五句接著說，全世界有數百萬的中年人像三明治一樣夾在上一代和下一代中間。因此選項D(他們常常在贍養老人和撫養孩子的責任中左右為難)。

43.C。細節題。題干：為什麼現在很多年輕人選擇和父母住在一起?根據第二段最後三句可知，如今一些年輕人之所以會更久地跟父母住在一起，是因為他們需要父母的經濟或情感支持。故本題答案為C(他們需要父母的'支持來應對財務問題)。

44.B。細節判斷題。題干：三明治一代面臨著下列挑戰，除了__________。根據第四段中的“caregivers have to resolve important questions：How can financial responsibilities be shared among members of the household?How can household chores be shared?What is the best way to ensure everyone’s privacy?”可知，只有B不是三明治一代要考慮的問題，所以該題答案為B(決定誰來贍養家庭)。

45.D。推斷題。題干：想度過人生中這一艱難時段，三明治一代需要__________。最後一段最後兩句中的“…they also need to pay attention to their own needs and look after the quality of thie own lives.They can’t be totally selfless.”表明，三明治一代也需要考慮自己的需求和自身的生活質量，不能完全忘我。由此可知，要度過這個人生的艱難時段，三明治一代需要考慮自身的幸福，所以該題答案為D(考慮自身的幸福)。

⑽ 分享一篇關於領導才能的英語作文,字數不限越多越好,

什麼是領導?
What Makes a Leader?
A leader is the head of a school or enterprise. He is the guide and supervisor as well as a boss or manager. In a sense a leader is the pacesetter in doing things. He is a pioneer and he blazes the trail for others to follow. Therefore he is braver faster and stronger than others.
A leader comes from the masses. He has the mixure of charaeters from the masses. The leader shows the way to those led by him. He also needs support from the masses. He can earn this support only by his integrity and strength. He must show his ability to lead that is his leadership or managerial skills. Otherwise he will be looked down upon by his counterparts.
A good leader has many followers or disciples. He is loved and respected by those led by him. But we should be aware not to let the black sheep take the lead.
什麼是領導?
領導是一個學校或企業的頭頭。他除了是老闆、經理，還是向導和監督。在某種意義上，領導應是事業的帶頭人。他是先驅者和開路先鋒。因此他比別人更勇敢、更迅猛、更強大。
領導來自群眾，他具有群眾各種性格的綜合。領導向被領導者指明方向，他也需要群眾的支持。他只能靠自己的品德、力量來贏得群眾的支持。他必須顯示出他的領導才能，即領導能力和管理技能，否則，他會受到同事的蔑視。
好的領導有感召力，他受到被領導者的愛戴。但是，我們不應能讓那些害群之馬來領頭。
