Section II Reading Comprehension
Part A
Text 1譯文
加州公眾企業雇員退休協會(加退協)挺身擔綱投資者權利的第一捍衛者,他們會定期挑出一些全國最大公司內的糟糕經營者,列入年度的公司控管核心名單。每當加退協吭聲時,帳下經營著1530億美元的華爾街都會側耳傾聽。但是,這個全國最大的退休基金會還從沒有像12月16日那樣逮住這么大的一條魚,它向美國紐約證券交易所及其屬下的七個會員公司發起挑戰,指控他們具有欺詐行為,宣稱交易所疏忽自己的監控職守,允許七個會員公司在損害投資者利益的情況下進行證券交易。
這次行動對紐約證券交易所的新任(臨時)主席John Reed來說,不蒂當頭一棒。這位前花旗銀行董事長兼CEO九月才加盟交易所,當時,長期擔綱交易所領導工作的Richard Grasso因報酬太高而引起公憤,被迫辭職。
因為沒能將投資者的代表選入新組選的董事會,也因為未能將交易所的監控職能與日常經營有效區分,Reed遭到加退協及其它機構投資者的廣泛批評。加退協的訴訟表明,廣大投資者的不滿情緒沒有消退。Harrigan說:「因為Reed不採取行動,我們的希望整個破滅了。」
訴訟指控說,七個專營會員公司濫用或過分使用交易策略並從中獲益。這些目前並非非法的策略包括「penny jumping」(專營公司在兩個交易單中間介入,搶得差價),「front running」(根據從交易單中獲得的機密情報,搶在顧客前面交易)和「freezing」(穩住公司的交易單簿,以便公司能用自己的戶頭第一個交易)。
訴訟中的許多指控依據的是前不久公開的,由證券交易委員會對交易所進行的調查結果。根據訴訟,10月份的證券交易委員會的報告發現,「交易所的監控、調查程序中存在嚴重不足,包括對專營公司的累次犯規視而不見」。
這次訴訟突出的反映了機構投資者對交易體系的失望,該體系既便不要取消,至少需要更新。加州公司監管員Steve Westley(作為加退協的董事,參加了12月16日的記者招待會),不斷呼籲紐約證券交易所停止使用專營公司來方便交易的做法,轉而採用公開匹配交易雙方的制度。視而不見?Westley說:「沒有理由不採用全部自動化的交易。世界上每筆交易都是這么做的。證券交易所該進入21世紀了,從而撥去公眾心目中的疑雲:有不少侵犯投資者權益的內部交易。」
21.「答案」D
「解析」這是一道詞義題。依據第一段可知答案應為D.
22.「答案」C
「解析」這是一道細節題。根據第三段第二句,確定答案為C.
23.「答案」B
「解析」這是一道是非判斷題。根據第四段前兩句,七家公司的手段目前並未違法,可見B項不對。
24.「答案」A
「解析」這是一道細節題,「Westley」將答案鎖定在文章末段。NYSE的問題,在Westley看來,出在過於依賴專營公司開展業務,故此答案為A.
25.「答案」A
「解析」這是一道主旨題。這是一篇新聞題文章,全文講述了加退協為了投資者的權益而將NYSE告上法庭,可見文章標題應為A(投資者權益的捍衛者)。D項Lawsuits加復數是不對的,予以排除。
Text 2譯文
多功能超級葯丸並不誇大其辭,而且減少高膽固醇、糖尿病及高血壓對心臟的潛在危害也能挽救不少生命,對醫葯公司而言也是有利可圖。用Pfizer公司的高血壓葯Norvasc和降低膽固醇的葯Lipitor組合而成的葯丸「具有巨大的潛力」,Shaojing Tong,一名來自Mehta Partners的分析師這么認為,他說,「一片葯丸具有雙重功能也極其方便」。
如果這種葯推廣開來,醫葯公司將獲得巨大受益。Pfizer公司的目標是盡可能多地將合格病人轉用這類組合葯。Norvasc的專利將在2007年過期,但公司可將它轉為超級葯丸的一部分,從而避免收入方面的損失。來自Cathay Financial的分析師Sena Lund說,Pfizer到2007年通過這種組合葯能賺到42億美元,從而補償Lipitor的銷售疲軟所帶來的損失,Lipitor的贏利到2007年將降到5億美元,而去年是8億美元。
Pfizer認為,用一顆葯丸治療兩個不同但卻嚴重的心血管疾病是有益的。Pfizer雙葯治療中心主任Craig Hopkinson指出,美國患有高血壓和高膽固醇的病人有2700萬,其中只有2%的人得到了充分的治療。服一片葯治兩種病能使更多的病人得到適當的治療,並有助於病人得到理想的救治。
Pfizer認為,醫生們也會樂於接受組合葯,因為它由兩種很成熟的葯品構成,醫生們對它們很熟悉。但是,斯坦福大學醫療中心心臟科咨詢部主任Dr. Stanley Rockson認為,固定劑量的組合葯丸對醫生們而言,是「一個有趣的十字路口」,醫生們接受的訓練往往要求他們「細心對待每個個別病例」。組合用葯對他們的針對不同個體採用不同療法是個挑戰。但他也說,病人能更好的接受該葯促使醫生們去接受嘗試這種葯丸。
有些醫生會持懷疑態度。波士頓大學醫學院的葯理學教授Dr. Irene Gavris則擔心說,「如果你想改變組合葯中一種葯的劑量,你可難辦了」。她說,她很願意給那些「已用葯有過一段時間的病人」使用這種組合葯,他們不太可能需要改變劑量。
通常,經濟決定天平的傾向。Gavris說,正在服用Lipitor和Norvasc的病人由於轉用該葯「能將他們的醫保費用減少一半」。這很重要。例如,控制高血壓可能需要三種或三種以上的葯物,病人的經濟負擔急劇增加,如果病人也想獲益——正如Pfizer和其他醫葯公司所宣稱的那樣——轉用超級葯丸對大家都有好處。
26.「答案」B
「解析」這是一道細節題。依據原文第二段可知,Pfizer可以通過使用組合葯來避免因為Norvasc專利到期可能引起的損失。所以答案為B.
27.「答案」B
「解析」這是一道是非判斷題。文章第三段講述了超級葯丸的種種好處,但並沒有說可以恢復病人失去的身體功能,所以B應是答案。
28.「答案」C
「解析」本題涉及段落的寫作意圖。第三段講述了病人對超級葯丸的接受態度,第四段主要講述醫生們可能的接受態度,所以答案為C.A項不對,因為本段內部並沒有進行對比。
29.「答案」D
「解析」這是一道涉及全文的推論題。文章探討了醫葯公司、病人、醫生等方面對超級葯丸的反應態度,可以推論,用葯的轉變是由許多因素來決定的,故答案為D.
30.「答案」A
「解析」這是一道態度題,問作者對超級葯丸所持的態度。根據文章開頭兩句及其整個文章的議論,不難看出作者對這種葯的態度還是贊同性的,故答案為A.選項C意為「(勉強地)容忍接受」,不太吻合文章作者的語氣,排除。
Text 3譯文
五年前的寒假,Donna and Phil Satow的就讀於亞利桑納大學的20歲的兒子自縊身亡,從那以後,夫妻倆就一直想知道自己忽略了什麼跡象,也向兒子的同學打聽。
深刻的思索讓人注意到了Ulifeline (www.ulifeline.org),大學生們可在學校登錄該網址咨詢問題。120多所高校使用該網址,並增添了些學校信息,130多萬大學生用學生證在該網站注冊。
「這是一個很不錯的網站,它能提高對自殺的警惕,減少對精神疾病的歧視,鼓勵人們尋求幫助,」Paul Grayson這么認為,他是紐約大學的咨詢服務部主任,一年前開始使用該網站的服務。
該網站的主要部件是Self-E-Valuator,這是杜克大學醫療中心開發的一種自測軟體,幫助學生判斷自己是否有抑鬱、自殺、厭食或葯物依賴這類危險。除了幫助學生,網站還匯編了大量學生的匿名數據,以便學校了解校園內的健康狀況。
網站還給學生用戶提供當地醫療服務鏈接,一份處方葯及其負效應的目錄,以及「詢問艾麗絲」的接入,後者是哥倫比亞大學開發的一個巨大的檔案庫,含有數百個對世界各地大學生匿名咨詢的答復。對那些為朋友擔心的學生而言,網站還有一個部分專門介紹自殺和抑鬱的種種徵兆。
然而很難評估這種服務的有效性,匿名在線服務甚至會起到消極作用。位於華盛頓的美國自殺學研究協會執行主任Dr. Lanny Berman就說,「這種網站咨詢不能代替互動的當面咨詢。」
Ulifeline首先會承認,網站咨詢不能取代真正的理療師。Ron Gibori,Ulifeline的執行主任就說,「我們的目的是幫助學生發現抑鬱跡象,然後指導他們去合適的地方治療。」
Mrs. Satow仍然關注著該網站,她稱之為「知識庫」,它本可以阻止她兒子Jed自殺的。她說,「如果Jed的同學知道抑鬱的徵兆,他們本可以發現Jed的問題的。」
31.「答案」D
「解析」這是一道寫作意圖題。第一段說道Satow一家的事情是為了引入文章的討論主題Ulifeline,所以答案為D.
32.「答案」C
「解析」這是一道細節題。依據文章2、3兩段,大學使用該網站的目的是鼓勵學生上網咨詢自己的精神抑鬱等問題,所以答案為C.
33.「答案」B
「解析」這是一道細節題。依據第五段可知,Go Ask Alice是一個給學生提供健康咨詢的問答庫,所以答案為B.
34.「答案」A
「解析」這是一道句意題。依據文章最後兩段的意思可知,網站固然可以提供咨詢,但真正充分的治療還得需要理療師。A項為此意,是正確選項。
35.「答案」C
「解析」這是一道推論題。根據末段的意思可以推測,Mrs. Satow一定非常認可該網站,所以答案為C.
Text 4譯文
「科學」和「技術」的意義,從一代到下一代都會發生深刻的變化,然而這兩個術語之間的相似之處遠遠多於其不同之處。兩者都含有思維特徵,兩者都涉及物質世界的因果關系,兩者皆用實驗性的研究方法,由此而得出的經驗性結果都可重復驗證。科學,至少在理論上,不太在乎結果的實用性,它更在乎普遍法則的創立,但實際上,科學和技術是密不可分的。兩者之間不同程度的相互影響可見於各種行業的歷史發展過程,諸如:化學、工程、物理、天文、土木、制陶以及其它行業。科學家和技術人員的研究活動的差異與下列因素有關:不同的教育要求、社會地位、方法、術語、獎勵方式、機構目標及職業目標,但縱觀歷史,許多「純」科學家既有理論建樹也有實用創新。
的確,科學是技術創新的理論基礎,以及純理論研究對工業文明的發展是不可或缺的這兩種說法都是錯誤的。大多數工業進步都與實驗室研究無關,機械、化工、天文、冶金、水利領域的基本工具及流程早在相關理論法則發現之前就已存在。例如,早在熱動力學解釋了蒸汽的原理之前,蒸汽發動機業已廣泛存在。
最近幾年,科學和技術之間的價值分歧越來越尖銳。科學進步的反對者是一直存在的,然而,現在有很多人對技術的恐懼甚於對科學的擔心。他們覺得,科學可視為是對永恆的自然法則的和平、客觀的探究,但現代社會中,技術的實際應用似乎有點失控。
許多科學史家們認為,技術是發達的工業文明的必然條件,他們也認為,過去幾百年的技術發展也已積累了可觀的動量。技術創新的速度以幾何級別在增長,遠遠超出了地理和政治的限定。這些技術創新改變了傳統的文化體制,往往帶來難以預料的社會後果。所以,技術既具有進步性也具有毀滅性。
36.「答案」C
「解析」這是一道細節題。依據原文第3句可知,科學和技術之間的相似之一便是研究方法的實驗性。因此答案為C.B項中casual不等於原文中的causal,排除。
37.「答案」B
「解析」這是一道是非判斷題。依據第2段首句,作者認為「科學是技術創新的理論基礎,以及純理論研究對工業文明的發展是不可或缺的這兩種說法都是錯誤的」,可見作者不贊同的是B項的說法,故B為答案。
38.「答案」A
「解析」這是一道例證題。第2段末句中,作者提到蒸汽發動機是為了反駁「理論研究對工業文明的發展是不可或缺的」這一觀點,故答案為A,A中「feed off」意為「靠…生存」。
39.「答案」D
「解析」這是一道句意題。引號句的意思在末段得到了充分的說明,「技術創新改變了傳統的文化體制,往往帶來難以預料的社會後果。所以,技術既具有進步性也具有毀滅性」,這就是所謂的「失去控制」,可見答案為D.
40.「答案」D
「解析」這是一道詢問歷史學家態度的態度題。末段中,歷史學家們對技術的發展態度具有肯定和否定的兩面,所以答案為D.「有保留地認可」。
Part B
「總體分析」
本篇介紹的是美國人對選舉的興趣日漸減少,並分析了相關的幾個原因。第一段揭示事情本身,後幾段分析原因。就本篇而言,對文章前後結構層次的把握非常重要。
41
本題考察段落內部的邏輯聯系,空格的下文說「But it『s time to stop blaming the citizens」,可見上文必然說到有人指責普通公民們不熱衷於美國的政治選舉。故答案為E.
42.B
本題考察考生對文章的總體結構的把握能力。既然第二段末句說「Candidates, public officials, and journalists are not giving Americans the type of campaign they deserve」,而且第三段又說到了officials,下文又將說到journalists,可以斷定,本段應說「candidates」,即「leadership」,故B項為答案。
43.D
本題考察段落內部的邏輯理解,注意相應的詞彙表達。既然空格前講的是journalists對政治家的正面言論不感興趣,棄置編輯室地板,而攻擊性的言論卻被直播(Attack sound bites get airtime; positive statements land on the cutting-room floor),那麼可以推論,D項是最符合邏輯的展開內容,用詞也密切相關(get more time on the network newscasts)。
44.G
本題涉及段落內部邏輯的把握。既然上文說「we interviewed 100,000 Americans to discover why they『re disengaging from elections」,那麼答案為G,也就很符合邏輯了。
45.F
本題同樣涉及段內邏輯,既然上文說「Officials unfailingly urge citizens to do your ty and vote. Yet, these officials embrace policies that make it harder to do that」(官員們催使公民行使職責,參加選舉,但另一方面又制定政策,使公民們很難參加投票選舉),那麼符合邏輯的答案必定是F項了。
Part C
46.「結構分析」這是一個簡單句,結構不復雜。
「疑難詞彙」詞彙「disproportionately」的翻譯不必拘泥原文,可靈活翻譯為「激…」;另,「without shrinking…」部分的理解要結合上文准確翻譯。
「參考譯文」技術的發展和金融的自由化使得極端富裕的家庭數量激增,卻沒能相應地減少貧困家庭的數量。
47.「結構分析」冒號前後為並列結構。後半部分有兩個「faster than…」的並列的比較狀語從句。
「疑難詞彙」冒號前的兩個「cause」翻譯要靈活處理。
「參考譯文」正是這些根本原因衍生出嚴重後果,從而造成更糟的結果:富裕國家出口的工業產品及服務的價格增長速度遠遠快於貧窮國家出口的商品及服務的價格,比沒有多少國際貿易的貧窮國家所生產的商品和服務的價格增長速度就更快了。
48.「結構分析」「to whom」引導的整個是定語從句,修飾前面的「young men」;定語從句中兩個「to threaten…」並列,做「means」的補足語。
「疑難詞彙」「means」意為「手段」。
「參考譯文」結果導致許多年輕人失業憤懣,而新的信息技術則給了他們威脅社會穩定的手段,甚至可以威脅富裕國家的社會穩定。
49.「結構分析」「Why」引導的是主句,「if」引導的是從句。
「疑難詞彙」主句中「subscribed to」意為「同意,贊同」;從句中「if a case can be made that…」可意譯為「如果說…」,其中「case」意為「情況」:「gains」意譯為「成果」。
「參考譯文」如果說商品和資本市場自由化的成果往往集聚到發展中國家的高端收入階層的手中,那發展中國家的精英階層為何又贊同西方國家、企業及多邊組織所宣揚的全球化議程呢?
50.「結構分析」分號前後為並列結構。
「疑難詞彙」「fixed」根據上下文可譯為「解決,改變」:「asset」為大綱詞彙「資產」。
「參考譯文」但是,他們沒有注意到世界收入分配的差距與貧困之間的聯系;他們以為,給窮人福利和機會而不必改變收入及資產分配結構,就可以解決貧困問題。

China is now witnessing a new surge of interest in going to all sorts of night schools or training classes. As is shown in the pictures, lots of people are flocking to English classes while others are rushing to attend lectures on WTO. They all look happy and eager to go to the classes even after a whole day's work.
This enthusiasm for new knowledge can be attributed to the obvious reason that the government's policy of Open-up to the World and particularly China's access to WTO. These have given a fresh impetus to China's trade and exchange with foreign countries. China's trade volume with the world has, reportedly, reached an unprecedented $500 billion and cultural exchanges with other countries are being carried on an increasingly larger scale. The new situation requires that people have to learn more about WTO rules and of course they must also acquire a solid knowledge of English. Otherwise, they may find it difficult to trade or exchange with foreign countries efficiently. They may lose the competition in the process of globalization.
Undoubtedly, China's open policy and the globalization of the world are both irreversible and more and more Chinese will find it necessary to acquire new knowledge and skills. Therefore, more and more people will be going to various training classes or lectures in the years to come.
呵呵,不知道是不是?~~~

The only way to travel is on foot
The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ‘ Palaeolithic Man’, ‘Neolithic Man’, etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label ‘Legless Man’. Histories of the time will go something like this: ‘in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the presence of large car parks.
The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world - or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: ‘I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.’ The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says ‘I’ve been there. ’ You mention the remotest, most evocative place-names in the world like El Dorado, Kabul, Irkutsk and someone is bound to say ‘I’ve been there’ - meaning, ‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else. ’
When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travellers.

A People won’t use their eyes.
B In traveling at high speed, eyes become useless.
C People can’t see anything on his way of travel.
D People want to sleep ring travelling.
4、What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A Legs become weaker.
B Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.
C There is no need to use eyes.
D The best way to travel is on foot.
5. What does ‘a bird’s-eye view’ mean?
A See view with bird’s eyes.
B A bird looks at a beautiful view.
C It is a general view from a high position looking down.
D A scenic place.

難句譯注
1. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world – or even if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way.
【參考譯文】飛機旅行,你只可俯視世界――如果機翼碰巧擋住了你的視線,就看得更少了。

寫作方法與文章大意
文章以因果寫作方法,寫出了由於種種現代化交通設施、人們不需用腳走路,甚至也不需要用眼看景,出門就坐汽車、公交車、地鐵、飛機……,車、機速度飛快,外邊的景物難以看清,最終導致人們忘記用腳、用眼成為“無腳之人”。一切都經歷不到。作者建議最佳的旅遊方法是徒步――經歷現實。
答案詳解
1.A 人們忘了用腳。答案在第一段:人類學家把以往年代的人們分別標上舊石器時代、新石器時代人,等等。乾脆利落地總結了一個時期。當他們轉向20世紀,他們肯定會標上“無腳的人”。因為在20世紀,人們忘了如何用腳走路。男人女人早年外出就坐車、公共汽車、火車。大樓里由電梯、自動扶梯,不需要人們走路。即使度假期間,他們也不用腳。他們築有纜車道、滑雪載車和路直通山頂。所有的風景旅遊區都有大型的汽車停車場。
B 人們喜歡汽車、公交車、火車等。
C 電梯、自動扶梯制止人們走路。
D 有許多交通運輸工具。
2.A 人們的注意力在未來。見最後一段第一句話:當你高速旅行,現在等於零,你主要生活在未來,因為你大部分時間盯在前面到達的某個地方。真到了,又沒有意義了,你還要再向前進。
B 是一種歡樂。
C 滿足司機強烈的.渴望。第二段中提及死機醉心於開車、不停車但不是快速前進著眼於未來。
D 生活的需要。這一條在第一段中提及這種情況是因為他們那異常的生活方法強加給時代的居民。這是指不用腳走路,而用一切代步器――交通運輸工具,不是開快車。
3.C 人們在旅行途中什麼都見不到。答案在第二段,由一地轉向另一地,路上你什麼都沒有見到。乘飛機你只能俯視世界,火車,汽車,只見外界朦朧景象掠過窗子。海上旅遊,只見到海。“我到過那裡”此話含義就是“我以一小時一百英里在去某某地方時經過那裡”。正因為如此,作者指出將來的歷史書上會記錄下:我們被剝奪了眼睛的應用。
A 人們不願用眼睛。
B 在高速旅行中,眼睛沒有用了。
D 旅行中,人們想睡覺。
4.D 旅行的最佳方式是走路。文章第一段、第二段分別講述了旅行可不用腳、不用眼等情況。第三段,在講述了人們只知向前向前,一切經歷都停滯,現實不再是現實,還不如死的好。而用腳走路的旅行者總是生活再現實,對他來說旅行和到達是一回事,他一步一步走到某地,他用眼睛、耳朵,以至整個身體去體驗現在時刻、旅行終點,他感到全身舒坦愉悅的疲勞,美美享受滿足的酣睡;一切真正旅行者的真實報償。這一段就是作者寫文章的目的――走路是旅行的最佳方式。
A 腳變得軟弱無力。
B 現代交通工具把世界變小。
C 沒有必要用眼睛。
5.C 從高出向下看的景緻:俯視。
A 用鳥的眼睛看景點。

第一篇:
Merchant and passenger ships are generally required to have a life preserver for every person aboard and in many cases, a certain percentage of smaller sizes for children. According to United States requirements, life preservers must design, reversible capable of being quickly adjusted to fit the uninitiated indivial, and must be so designed as to support the wearer in the water in an upright or slightly backward position.
Sufficient buoyancy(浮力) to support the wearer should be retained by the life preserver after 48 hours in the water, and it should be reliable even after long period of storage. Thus it should be made of materials resistant to sunlight, gasoline, and oils, and it should be not easily set on fire.?The position in which the life preserver will support a person who jumps or falls into the water is most important, as is its tendency to turn the wearer in the water from a face-down position to an upright or slightly backward position, with his face clear of the water, even when the wearer is exhausted or unconscious.
The method of adjustment to the body should be simple, and self-evident to uninitiated persons even in the dark under the confused conditions, which follow a disaster. Thus, the life be reversible that it is nearly impossible to get it on wrong. Catches, straps, and ties should be kept to a minimum. In addition, the life preserver must be adjustable to the wide variety of shapes and sizes of wearers, since this greatly affects the position of floating and the self-righting qualities. A suitable life also be comfortable to wear at all times, in and out of the water, not so heavy as to encourage to take it off on shipboard while the ship is in danger, nor so burdensome that it hinders a person in the water while trying to swim.
1. The passage is mainly about____.
A) the uses of life preservers
B) the design of life preservers
C) the materials for life preservers
D) the buoyancy of life preservers
2. According to the passage, a life be first of all ____.
A) adjustable B) comfortable C) self-evident D) self-righting
3. United States Coast Guard does NOT require the life preserver to be made ____.
A) with as few strings as possible
B) capable of being worn on both sides
C) according to each wearer's size
D) comfortable and light to wear
4. By “the uninitiated indivial” (Para. 1, Line. 4) the author refers to the person ____.
A) who has not been instructed how to use a life preserver
B) who has a little experience in using a life preserver
C) who uses a life preserver without permission
D) who becomes nervous before a disaster
5. What would happen if a person were supported by the life preserver in a wrong position?
A) The waves would move him backwards.
B) The water would choke him.
C) He would immediately sink to the bottom.
D) He would be exhausted or unconscious.
第二篇:
The table before which we sit may be, as the scientist maintains, composed of dancing atoms, but it does not reveal itself to us as anything of the kind, and it is not with dancing atoms but a solid and motionless object that we live. So remote is this “real” table——and most of the other “realities” with which science deals——that it cannot be discussed in terms which have any human value, and though it may receive our purely intellectual credence it cannot be woven into the pattern of life as it is led, in contradistinction to life as we attempt it. Vibrations in the ether(以太) are so totally unlike the color, purple that the gulf between them cannot be bridged, and they are, to all intents and purposes,not one but two separate things of which the second and less “real” must be the most significant for us. And just as the sensation which has led us to attribute all objective reality to a non-existent thing which we called “purple”is more important for human life than the conception of vibrations of a certain frequency; so too the belief in God; however ill founded, has been more important in the life of man than the germ theory of true the latter may be.
We may, if we like, speak of consequence, as certain mystics love to do, of the different levels or orders of truth. We may adopt what is essentially a Platonistic (布拉圖式的) trick of thought and insist upon postulating the existence of external realities which correspond to the needs and modes of human feeling and which, so we may insist, have their being in some part of the universe unreachable by science. But to do so is to make an unwarrantable assumption and to be guilty of the metaphysical fallacy of failing to distinguish between a truth of feeling and that other sort of truth which is described as “truth of correspondence” and it is better perhaps, at least for those of us who have grown up in thought, to steer clear of such confusions and to rest content with the admission that, though the universe with which science deals is the real universe, yet we do not and cannot have any but fleeting and imperfect contacts with it; that the most important part of our lives-our sensations, emotions, desires and aspirations-take place in a universe of illusions which science can attenuate or destroy, but which it is powerless to enrich.
1. The author suggests that in order to bridge the puzzling difference between scientific truth and the world of illusion, the reader should____.
A) try to rid himself of his world of illusion
B) accept his words as being one of illusion
C) apply the scientific method
D) learn to acknowledge both
2. Judging from the ideas and tone of the selection, one may reasonably guess that the author is ____.
A) a humanist B) a pantheist C) a nuclear physicist D) a doctor of medicine
3. According to this passage, a scientist would conceive of a “table” as being ____.
A) a solid motionless object
B) certain characteristic vibrations in “ether”
C) a form fixed in space and time
D) a mass of atoms in motion
4. The topic of this selection is____.
A) the distortion of reality by science
B) the confusion caused by emotions
C) Platonic and contemporary views of truth
D) the place of scientific truth in our lives
5. By “objective reality” (Last line, Para. 1) the author means____.
A) scientific reality
B) a symbolic existence
C) the viewer's experience
D) reality colored by emotion

第一篇:
1. B
文章主要講述了救生衣的設計。間接題型段首主旨題。C項和D項都是對救生衣設計中設計材料的說明。A項為陷阱,指救生衣的用途,盡管開頭提到,但范圍不著邊際。故只有B是正確選項。
2. D
根據文章,救生衣首先會自動扶正。事實細節題。本文第三段主要討論救生衣落水位置,應設計的能“自動扶正”,或稍向後仰。B項是對材料的描述,范圍太窄,而A和C不合題意,因此D是正確答案。
3. C
美國海岸巡邏隊不需要救生衣根據穿戴者的尺寸生產。事實細節題。A項和B項都涉及method,其相關部分見最後一段第三句,A,B,D三項都是文章中提及的,C項與本題無關的'內容,因此應該選C。
4. A
“the uninitiated indivial”作者指的是不知道怎麼使用救生衣的人。語義指代題。根據文章最後一段第一句,我們可推出“the uninitiated indivial”就是指的那些不知道怎麼使用救生衣的人。故A是正確選項。
5. D
如果一個人沒有正確使用救生衣,就會發生什麼?細節辨別題。第三段第一句後半句中a face-down position和本題中的 in a wrong position相對應。因此選項D“他可能太累了或者是已經失去知覺”是正確答案。
第二篇:
1. B
作者暗示為了聯系起科學世界和虛幻世界的不同點,把他的話當作一種假相。間接題型段尾結論題。根據第二段最後一句話,我們可推出B是正確答案。
2. A
由文章的觀點及語氣可推知作者是人文主義者。暗示推斷題。文中第一段第一句後半句提到“...but a solid and motionless object that we live”由此我們可以推出該作者是一位人文主義者。
3. D
根據文章,科學家相信“table”就是一群運動的原子。直接題型語義指代題。根據第一段第一 句的前半句“...but it does not reveal itself to us as anything of the kind, and it is not with dancing atoms ...”我們可推出D是正確答案。
4. D
文章的主題為生活中科學真理的地位。段首主旨題。從第二段最後一句後半句“...that the most important part of our lives-our sensations, emotions, desires and aspirations-takes place in a universe of illusions which science can attenuate or destroy, but which it is powerless to enrich.”我們可以推斷出本文只要講了科學真理在現實生活中的地位。因而答案應選D。
5. A
對於作者,“objective reality”意味著科學現實。語義指代題。根據文章最後一段,我們可得知“objective reality”即科學現實的意思,因而,答案應該選A。

第二節短文理解1
閱讀下面短文,從A.(Right)、B.(Wrong)、C.(Doesn’t say)三個判斷中選擇一個正確選項,並在答題卡上將該項塗黑。
Farmers do not like crows (烏鴉) because these birds eat newly-planted seeds (種子). They are afraid that they will not have anything left in autumn if the birds eat up all the seeds.
It is hard for farmers to get close enough to kill crows. Crows have very good eyes and good hearing. They are also very careful. While some are eating the newly-planted seeds, others sit on the tallest trees around the fields. "Caw-caw-caw," cries the first crow to see farmers coming. All the other "lookout" crows join in the crying and then, in no time at all, there is not a crow to be seen. Farmers have found several ways to kill crows. But it is good that there are still crows about. These birds are our friends. They pay for the seeds they eat by killing pests(害蟲). One pest, for example, can eat up several plants in a few hours. With thousands of them at work in one night, we might find ourselves without food to eat. This is why we should not try to kill off the crow.
56. According to the writer, crows only bring troubles to farmers.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Doesn't say
57. It is not easy for farmers to kill crows.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Doesn't say
58. Farmers can get paid by killing pests.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Doesn't say
59. Up to now, no ways have been found to kill crows.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Doesn't say
60. Crows eat seeds and pests at night.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Doesn't say
第二節短文理解l
農民不喜歡烏鴉,因為這些鳥會吃掉新種下的種子。他們擔心如果烏鴉吃光了所有的種子,到秋天他們將一無所獲。農民們很難接近烏鴉到足夠殺死它們的距離。烏鴉有非常好的視力和聽力並且非常謹慎小心。當一部分烏鴉在吃新種下的種子時,其他的烏鴉就蹲在田地周圍最高的樹上。只要一看到農民來了,烏鴉就會“呱呱呱”地叫起來。只要第一個叫了,其他望風的烏鴉也會一起叫起來,馬上田地里就一隻烏鴉也沒有了。
農民們找到了一些殺死烏鴉的方法。但是有烏鴉存在還是有好處的。這些鳥兒是我們的朋友。它們會通過吃掉害蟲來彌補吃下的種子。比如,一隻害蟲可以在幾個小時內就吃光幾株植物,那麼上千隻害蟲一晚上吃下來,我們就沒東西可吃了。這就是為什麼我們不應該試圖殺光烏鴉的原因。
56.B【精析】句意:根據本文作者,烏鴉只會給農民帶來麻煩。是非題。從文章第三段第二句“But it is good that there are still CROWS about.”可以推斷出,本題的判斷是與原文不符。故選B。
57.A【精析】句意:農民們要殺死烏鴉並不容易。推斷題。從文章第二段前三句“It is hard for farmers to get close enough to kill crows.Crows have very good eyes and good hearing.They are alsovery careful.”可以推斷出本題是正確的。故選A。
58.C【精析】句意:農民們殺死害蟲會獲得報酬。是非題。文章第三段只是說烏鴉會通過殺死害蟲來回報給農民它們吃掉的種子,但是沒有說農民殺死害蟲會獲得報酬。題干說法文中並未提及,故選C。
59.B【精析】句意:直到現在,人們還沒有找到殺死烏鴉的方法。是非題。文章第三段第一句“Farmers have found several ways to killcrows.”可以推斷出,本題的判斷與原文不符。故選B。
60.C【精析】句意:烏鴉晚上吃種子和害蟲。推斷題。從文章第一段和第三段我們知道烏鴉會吃種子和害蟲,但是並沒有指明是在晚上。故選C。
第三節短文理解2
閱讀下列短文,從A.、B.、C.三個選項中選擇一個正確答案,並在答題卡上將該項塗黑。

第三節短文理解2
瑪拉要去她的.朋友范妮家住三天。旅行前一周,她打電話告訴了范妮她的火車幾點到站。范妮讓她在火車站的西進站口等她。火車提前到站。瑪拉對這個火車站不熟,所以她沒有去西進站口而是去了北進站l:2等范妮。范妮從服務台得知火車已經到站了。她在西進站口附近找了一圈都找不到瑪拉。她開始以為瑪拉一定是錯過了這趟火車。瑪拉在北進站口等著,但沒有看到范妮。她覺得范妮應該不會來接她了。於是她穿過馬路,在對面的公交車站問了到范妮家所在的Market路的公交車。你可以想像范妮到家發現瑪拉已經在和她母親聊天時會有多驚訝。
61.B【精析】句意:瑪拉是什麼時候告訴范妮她乘坐的火車的?細節題。從文章第一段第二句“A week before her trip,she called Fan—ny to tell her when the train would arrive.”可以得出,瑪拉是在旅行之前一周告訴范妮火車何時到達的。故選B。
62.B【精析】句意:為什麼瑪拉去了北進站口而不是西進站口?細節題。從文章第二段第二句“Mara didIl’t know the station verywell…”可以看出,瑪拉是由於不了解火車站而走錯的,故選B。
63.A【精析】句意:瑪拉沒有在火車站等范妮是因為——。細節題。從文章第四段第二句“She decided that Fanny was notcoming to meet her after all.”可以看出,瑪拉沒有在火車站等范妮是因為她覺得范妮不會來接她了,故選A。
64.C【精析】句意:在下火車後瑪拉是如何到達Market路的?推斷題。從文章第四段最後一句“So she walked across the road to the busstation and asked for the bus to Market Road,where Fanny lived"可知,瑪拉去馬路對面的公交車站問了到范妮家街道的公交車。因此,可以推斷出瑪拉是坐公交車到范妮家的。故選C。
65.A【精析】句意:范妮是在哪裡和瑪拉見面的?的推斷題。從文章最後一段“You can imagine how surprised Fanny was when she ar-rived home and found Mara already talking to her mother.”可以看出,范妮是回家發現瑪拉已經到了她家後兩人才見面的。故選A。
