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

英语阅读题及答案 3

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

英语阅读题及答案 5

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.

Children

Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families.Television is the most significant of these influences，because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.

答案：CCACC

现在的美国儿童与他们的父母不同，受到各个方面的影响。这些影响中最重要的是电视节目，因为常常在孩子们还没上学之间就养成了看电视的习惯了。

家长们对于儿童节目质量的'低下很担忧。这些节目中出现的暴力的程度也烦恼着他们。研究显示，当儿童接触到暴力相关的节目，很多人会变得具有攻击性或者没有安全感。

家长们对于孩子们在电视上看到的广告同样也很担忧。在儿童节目的时间，家长建议减少广告的播出。一些家长甚至认为这种时间段的节目中根本不应该有广告，鉴于儿童的思想还不够成熟，不能对广告中的一些话语做出判断。

教育台没有广告，而且播出的儿童节目家长们都很赞赏。其中有个最有名的节目叫芝麻街，主要是给学龄前儿童关于数字和字母的启蒙教育，以及对他们所在的世界的一些有帮助的认识。

即便大多数的家长和教育者给与芝麻街，以及这类的节目很高的评价，一些评论家还是认为所有的电视节目，无论教育性与否，对于儿童都是有害的。他们认为每天看几个小时电视这种习惯让儿童变成世界消极无聊且被动的取食者，而不是鼓励儿童变成世界积极的探索者。

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(国会)，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 _____

A.didnt really care about going

B.didnt know French 1eaders

C.couldnt communicate directly with the French leaders

D.was too busy to Navel

34 According to the author _____

A Washingtons lack of formal ecation placed him at a disadvantage in later life

B.Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak French

C.Washington was not as good a president as Adams，Jefferson or Madison

D Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen

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

A was of great variety，covering many Subjects

B was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his time

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 年轻时候的一些手札仍然保存完好。从这些手札中我们可以得知，当时的George Washington正在学习拉丁语言和阅读一些英国文学，并对基本的优雅社交行为深感兴趣。 在学校的学习中，George Washington好像只喜欢数学这一科。实际上，他作为一个标准绅士的正式教育是不完整的，简直简短的令人惊讶。和当时弗吉尼亚州的年轻人不同，他没有去位于弗吉尼亚州府威廉堡的William and Mary 学院。那么在正式的训练方面，Washington和其他早期的美国总统——如John Adams, Thomas Jefferson 和James Madison就有着鲜明的对比。在后来的日子里，Washington大概对自己教育的缺乏感到后悔了。无论是对于国会的商讨活动，还是其他并不是每天都常见的问题，或者一些实践性的事物，Washington始终不能轻松应对。而且因为他从没学过法语，无法和法国的领导人直接交流，所以没能去访问这个他最向往的国家。因此，

和Jefferson还有Adams不同，他始终也没有访问过欧洲。

幽默烂慎数与魅力饥首

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.

领导靠幽默与魅力发迹

作为人生发迹的手段之一，幽默和魅力是一对效力惊人的组合。

我遇见过许多凭借风趣机智和好人缘白手起家的企业家。他们谦和自敛，让我们生不起气来。我们与他们相处愉快一一所以我们为什么不与他们做生意呢?当然，这里面必须讲求技巧。一味溜颈拍马，开一些干巴巴的玩笑，不会产生同样的魔力。

英国人认为，人生在世，就得苦中作乐。这似乎是我们心理学和文化的一条基本原则。在伦敦，说一个人缺乏幽默感，等于是说他一无是处。我出席的许多重要会议，都以一些善意的玩笑开场，以此打破沉默。这种惯例提醒我们，我们都是凡人，而不完全是商业机器。

外国人肯定认为我们的轻浮举止不可理喻。要让我说，我们英国人是赞同贺拉斯的观点：“遇到大事，比起一本正经的态度，开开玩笑固能够更有效、也更开心地解决问题。”

几年前，我的一位合伙人实行我所说的“欢笑管理”。他鼓舞和激励士气的方法，是营造充满乐趣的工作氛围，不同于许多工作场所常见的威逼和胁迫的氛围。

然而，对于喜欢逗笑取乐的人来说，21世纪的职场可能会是个雷区。我最近听到警告，说一个来自东欧的专业犯罪团伙会设下这样的圈套：在一家机构安插一名漂亮迷人的女员工，再让一名男同伙也混进去。两人前后脚进入这家公司，他们的关系不为人所知。不久后，他就向那位美女发送了一堆黄色网络笑话。于是她投诉遭到骚扰，并威胁要以性别歧视为由，告到让人头大的就业法庭。而一旦她透露出已聘请了专业法律顾问和公关代理，受害企业就会赶紧花钱了事。

在这种动辄法庭上见、政治上正确的时代，讲低级笑话可能会相当危险。我最近出席了一个贸易会议举办的晚宴，席间一位颇有名气的高管发表了演讲。他讲了许多低级趣味的笑话，有些还是取笑在座的显要人物。演讲后我们在闲聊时，我感觉到，他的那些话不会被很快忘记，这与婚礼上伴郎讲话粗俗不合时宜一样。

曾有人说：“拥有才智、诚实和力量固然不错，但当今你需要的是魅力。” 这是一个名人的时代，即使在董事会也是如此。那些鼎鼎大名的人物一旦全力展现他们迷人的个性或者是名声、或者是微笑、或者是口才，又或者是专注的神情，投入能够抵御。

小孩子常常会说“看我的!”，对此我常常感到惊讶。他们想要得到赞赏。这一点在长大后基本上也不会改变，即使到了50岁。老板真心的称赞比什么——甚至加薪，都更让人觉得受用。

魅力和幽默感能够后天培养吗?努力练习肯定会有作用。罗纳德·里根早年在演艺界干过，练得一身表演才能，后来才进入政界，成就了一番事业。

我曾经在一些笑星登台前与他们坐在一起。最出色的笑星出场前几乎都显得若无其事，既没有背台词，也没有焦虑不安。他们表演的内容基本上都是事先背下来的，但却显得像是即兴发挥。

杰出的企业领导能够让他的团队既开心又卖力工作：他们自己会勤于工作。世界级的首席执行官大多魅力非凡——这实际上是吸引力和风趣机智的迷人组合。另外，请相信我，他们花费在这上面的心力，远远超过他们所承认的。

原文翻译及答案解析

你能想象没有炸薯条的生活吗?当今薯条很受欢迎。但是过去并非如此。五千年前土豆生长在南美。但是直到两百年前土豆才在别的地方流行起来。

十六世纪，西班牙人把土豆从南美带到了欧洲。但是欧洲人们并不喜欢这种奇怪的蔬菜。一些人认为如果你吃土豆，你的皮肤会看起来像土豆。另一些人无法相信植物长在地下的那一部分也可以吃。因此他们吃土豆的叶子。因为土豆叶子有毒，所以他们都病倒了。十九世纪，世界其他地方的人开始吃土豆。在爱尔兰，土豆成了人们的主食。然后，在1845年，一种疾病杀死了爱尔兰所有的土豆。这使得两百万人死于饥饿。

当今，在每个国家都有土豆做成的菜肴。德国人吃土豆沙拉，美国人吃烤土豆。当然法国人发明了薯条，而现在薯条在全世界都很受欢迎。

59.A【精析】细节题。题干意为“土豆是什么时候开始在南美以外的地方流行的?”从本文第一段的最后一句“But they only became popular in other places two hundred years ago.”可知，直到两百年前土豆才在别的地方流行起来，故A正确。

60.C【精析】细节题。题干意为“为什么某些欧洲人最初拒绝吃土豆?”从文章第二段第三句“some people thought that if you ate pota—toes your skin would look like tlle skin of a potato.”可知，一些人认为如果你吃土豆，你的皮肤会看起来像土豆，故C正确。

61.A【精析】细节题。题干意为“在1845年，爱尔兰为什么会有两百万人死去?”从文章第三段第三、四句“Then，in l845，a disease killedall tlle potmoes in Ireland.Two million people died of hunger.”可知，1845年，一场疾病杀死了爱尔兰所有的土豆，这使得两百万人死于饥饿，故A正确。

62.B【精析】推理题。题干意为“从最后一段，我们可以得出什么?”由最后一段可知，土豆在各个国家都是一道菜，但是做法不同，故B正确。

原文翻译及答案解析

有越来越多的宠物主人用未加工的，也就是未煮过的肉和骨头来喂他们的宠物。威廉·伯克，一位来自美国食品与药品管理局的宠物食品专家，认为用未经加工的肉喂宠物违背了保护公众防止其受到健康威胁的目标。此外，未经加工的肉和骨头不能提供宠物每天所需的所有营养物质。

知道这些食物有多么受欢迎之后，美国食品与药品管理局为宠物食品的生产商们提供了指导方针，这些食品包括狗、猫和其他宠物吃的未经加工的肉。这些指导方针列出了一些规则来保护宠物主人和宠物以免遭受有关食品安全和缺乏营养的危险。

伯克说，喂未经加工的肉和骨头的宠物主人应该非常小心地处理这些食品以保护自己免遭可能的危险。正如为人类做饭一样，要用热水和肥皂去洗手、洗容器，并洗一些可能与食物有接触的表面。洗手之前不要把手放在嘴边，在宠物刚刚吃过肉之后不要让宠物碰到你的脸。如果主人选择喂宠物骨头，那么在宠物吃骨头时，一定要在旁边看着。伯克还说，“如果宠物吃一大块不能通过它的消化系统的骨头的话，那会要了它的命。”

63.D【精析】推理题。题干意为“威廉·伯克如何看待喂宠物未煮熟的东西这件事?”由本文第一段可知，伯克认为用未经加工的肉喂宠物有违保护公众防止遭到健康威胁的目标。此外，未经加工的肉和骨头不能提供给宠物们所有它们所需要的营养物质，故D正确。

64.D【精柝】推理题。题干意为“为什么美国食品与药品管理局为宠物食品的生产商提供指导方针?”由本文第二段可知，知道这些食物有多么受欢迎之后，美国食品与药品管理局为宠物食品的生产商们提供指导方针，这些食品包括狗、猫和其他宠物吃的未经加工的肉。这些指导方针列出了一些规则保护宠物主人和宠物以免遭受有关食品安全和缺乏营养的危险，故D正确。

65.A【精析】推理题。题干意为“那些喂宠物吃没有经过加工的食物的主人们需要在什么时候做些必要的清理?”由本文第三段可知，喂未经加工的肉和骨头的宠物主人应该非常小心地处理这些食品以保护自己免遭可能的危险。正如为人类做饭一样，要用热水和肥皂去洗手、洗容器，并洗一些可能与食物有接触的表面。洗手之前不要把手放在嘴边，在宠物刚刚吃过肉之后不要让宠物碰到你的脸，故A正确。

66.B【精析】细节题。题干意为“最后一段作者给宠物主人什么建议?”根据文章最后一段第一句“…they should watch their pet carefully when it is eating bones.”可知，在宠物吃骨头时，主人一定要在旁边看着，故B正确。

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 (大气层), 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.

D.have fallen onto the Earth from space

原文翻译及答案解析

天空中许多物体移动速度如此之快,以至于有时它们在你眼前转瞬即逝.它们是漂浮在空中被称为流星体的许多巨大的岩石和灰尘的碎片.通常我们根本看不见它们,但是如果它们太靠近地球,就会被地球引力吸住,开始向我们掉落.它们下降的速度越来越快,直到它们穿过大气层,那时它们的速度如此之快以至于它们开始燃烧,你所能看到的只是一道光划过天空,然后消失不见.这些疾驰的星星,或称流星(他们恰当的称谓),是十分常见的.有时候一晚上就可以看见好几个.

事实上大多数流星体都非常小,在它们到达地球之前就已经燃烧了很久.然而只有很少的能够一路穿过大气层,真正地掉落到地面.通常它们不会造成什么伤害,虽然也有例外.

真的到达地面的流星被称为陨石.大多数国家都有一些地方有陨石掉落.事实上某些地方的陨石如此之大,已经成了旅游景点.

67.D【精析】细节题.题干意为“为什么外太空的一些物体会掉落到地面?”根据文章第一段第三句“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,作者认为通常我们根本看不见它们,但是如果它们太靠近地球,它们就会被地球引力吸住,开始向我们掉落,故D正确.

68.C【精析】细节题.题干意为“从文中我们对流星有哪些了解?”从文章第一段第四句话可知,那时它们的速度如此之快以至于它们开始燃烧,你所能看到的只是一道光划过天空,然后消失不见.由此推出,流星消失得非常快,故C正确.

69.A【精析】推理题.题干意为“大部分流星在穿过大气层时会发生什么?”由文章第一段可知,那时它们的速度如此之快以至于它们开始燃烧,你所能看到的只是一道光划过天空,然后消失不见.由此推出,流星穿过大气层时会燃烧,故A正确.

70.D【精析】细节题.题干意为“‘meteorites’(第三段第一行)是指那些__________的石头碎片.”根据本文第三段第一句话“Meteoroids that actually manage to reach the Earth are called meteorites.”可知,真的到达地面的流星被称为陨石,故D正确.

⑹ 全国英语等级考试三级阅读真题及译文答案

2017全国英语等级考试三级阅读真题及译文答案

导语：阅读理解是公共英语当中对考生来说比较难的一个题目，因为选项当中有很多迷惑人的答案，下面是我提供的2017全国英语等级考试三级阅读真题及译文答案，大家先练练手吧!

【2017全国英语等级考试三级阅读真题及译文答案一】

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

译文

当今有三种不同类型的纽约人：第一种表现得好像他们生来就在纽约;第二种虽然在纽约却希望生活在别处;第三种是来自世界各地的一群希望生活在纽约的虚拟纽约人。这是三种不同的心态，其共同点是憧憬和幻想。事实上，这是一座梦想家的城市。

是什么使得纽约与众不同?纽约人确信纽约是独一无二的—但是多伦多更加多元化，伦敦更大，华盛顿更有权势。那么，为什么纽约认为自己是世界之都呢?人们常常说欧洲的城市问题是不平等。但是当今的纽约是美国最不平等的城市之一。2010年，l%的纽约人的收入占到全纽约的45%。这意味着这个城市最有钱的34，500个家庭的平均年收入是370万美元。这个群体平均日收入要多于这个城市最贫穷的l0%的人的平均年收入。那么，为什么仍然有人愿意到这样一个不平等的地方来碰运气呢?吸引他们来到这里的是机会还是幻觉?他们来到这里是因为任何新来者都可以在纽约的不同层级中找到自己的位置。例如，你随便看一家纽约的饭店，他们的厨师可能是法国人，洗盘子的可能是墨西哥人，女服务员可能是俄罗斯人，店主人可能是英国人。他们并不完全平等。他们赚得不同的收入。但是他们一起工作把食物提供给饥饿的人们。纽约向我们展示的是：移民很有用。这座城市利用它的移民，甚至非法移民。虽然他们非法跨越边境破坏了法律，但是如果他们不那样做，这座城市的经济将只是一个空壳，如果把他们驱逐出境，这座城市的经济也会崩溃。被这座城市的传说所吸引，每个移民都想到这里来寻求一种对过去、个人以及政治生活的解脱。对于这样的移民来说，纽约是给了他第二次生命的城市。

答案

46.B【精析】主旨题。根据第一段内容可知，当今有三种不同类型的纽约人：第一种表现得好像他们生来就在纽约;第二种虽然在纽约却希望生活在别处;第三种是来自全世界的一群希望生活在纽约的虚拟的纽约人。这是三种不同的心态，其共同点是憧憬和幻想。事实上，这是一座梦想家的城市。故选B。

【2017全国英语等级考试三级阅读真题及译文答案二】

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

译文

我们读过很多文章是关于漂亮的人抱着婴儿，婴儿会盯着看得时间更久，并且会哭得更少;也听过一些传说关于长得好的人在学校的表现更好。并且会受到老师的特殊照顾。在生活中，正如在爱情中一样，漂亮的人似乎生活得更容易。但是如果我们告诉你，在网上约会时，长得好看可能会伤害你，你会怎么样?根据一家互联网约会网站——0K丘比特最近一项针对43，000名用户所做的调查，男人越是不喜欢一位女士的外貌，最终越是可能喜欢上她。对于寻求另一半的女士来说，这意味着什么呢?“我们现在有绝对的证据表明你不应该隐藏自己的缺点，”该网站的合伙创办人——克里斯丁·卢德说。“如果你有点胖，突出它。如果你鼻子大，突出它。统计数据表明，不喜欢你的缺点的人只会帮助你，然而喜欢的人会更加兴奋。”

这个研究结果最终强调了，最近的科学研究确实支持了这一观点。该观点是：漂亮可能会有好处，但是在互联网上，正如在工作和生活中一样，太有吸引力的女性并不总是有优势。美丽带采更多的竞争，女性受到的教育是为了得到男人、工作以及日常的满足，她们必须比其他女性长得好看;而男性竞争是为了获得最好的战利品。这一切可能有助于解释为什么47%的招聘单位都认为长得太好看的女性可能会受苦;为什么女性同伴们对于长得好看的女性更加挑剔;最后一点，为什么在OK丘比特网站男性最终找的都是不怎么吸引人的女性——因为这减少了很多对手。“如果你觉得其他男性不感兴趣，那意味着更少的竞争，”卢德解释说。“你可能认为：可能她很孤独….可能她只是等着找一位欣赏她的男士…，至少我不会迷失在人群巾，”最终，长得好看总是幸运的，但是有时候与养眼相比还有更多可以成为优势的方面。

答案

51.A【精析】细节题。文章第一段详细介绍了这一点：我们读过很多文章是关于婴儿由漂亮的人抱着，会盯着看得时间更久，并且会哭得更少;也听过一些传说关于长得好的人在学校的表现也更好，并且受到老师的特殊照顾。在生活中，正如在爱情中一样，漂亮的人似乎生活得更容易点。故选A。

52.D【精析】细节题。根据第二段可知，0K丘比特最近针对43，000名用户所做的调查显示，男人越是不看好一位女士的外貌，最终越是可能会喜欢上她。故选D。

53.C【精析】细节题。根据第二段可知，克里斯丁·卢德建议女士们不要隐藏自己的缺点，要突出它。故选C。

54.A【精析】细节题。根据第四段第二句可知，女性同伴们对于长得好的女性更加挑剔，故选A。

55.B【精析】推断题。根据第四段可知，美丽引起更多的竞争，很多招聘单位都认为长得太好看的女性可能容易受苦;女性同伴们对于长得好的女性更加挑剔;在OK丘比特网站男性最终找的都是不怎么吸引人的女性。因此可推知，女性的美貌不总是带来优势，有时候也会带来不利。故选B。

四年级阅读题。急！

在人类的语言中，最激动人心的字眼是什么？
我可以用两幅画来回答这个问题：一个十四岁的男孩提着旅行箱下楼来，他走到母亲的房门前，放下提箱，走进去。这个男孩很久以前就立志要遨游四海，现在离别的时刻已经来到，他向母亲辞行。他知道她不愿意他离去。他端详著母亲那熟悉的愁容，因为近年来她的眼睛逐渐失明了。他也注意到母亲那掩饰不住的悲伤。他再也不忍心了，就走出房门，提起旅行箱走上楼去，继续留在家中。第一幅画面的是一个人骑着马，站在校园的一棵榆树下。他将率领他的同胞为争独立自由而站，他就是美国的第一任总统。那个男孩“变成”了这个人。
另一张图画是：在新罕布什尔州的腓力艾西特学院的校园中，有一个十二岁的男孩在哭泣，因为他受到同学的讥笑很想回家。他穿着一身怪异的衣服，那是他母亲缝制的，上面沾满油污。因为他的衣服与众不同，所以同学都嘲笑他。他想回家的另一个主要原因是：下星期五他不敢上台演讲，他知道他父亲为了送他上学已经把农场抵押，他也晓得若想成功就必须受教育，但是他仍然想回家，因为不敢上台演讲而哭泣。第二幅画画的是下个超群出众的人，现在他站在元老院的大厅中，将要起草美国史上最伟大的文献之一——独立宣言。那个哭哭啼啼的男孩“变成”了这个人。
这就是我们的答案，这个伟大的激动人心的字眼就是“变成”，青年的伟大不在于他做了什么，而在于他“将变成什么”。展现在青年面前的是掩映在迷濛的晨雾中那充满著光明和惊奇的未来。
1.少年并没有离去，特继续留在家中，你知道是什么原因吗？换上是你呢？
2.在第一幅画中，那个少年变成了什么？简单表述以下这幅画。
3.那个12岁的男孩为什么哭泣？更重要的原因呢？
4.第二福中的那个“超群出众”的人准备干什么？想想此时的他会是怎样的神态？
5.最伟大的激动人心的自言是什么？你是怎样理解这个字眼的？
答案：
1答：少年变没有离去，是因为放心不下，他那失眠的母亲。因为少年知道，如果他这么一走。他的母亲生活将变的非常辛苦，因为那几乎快失眠的眼睛。
2答：在第一幅画中，那个少年变成了美国第一任总统。
他就是乔治·华盛顿（1732—1799）是美国第一任总统，美国独立战争时期大陆军总司令，他领导美国人民取得了独立战争的胜利。华盛顿作为
美国大种植园主和新兴资产阶级利益的著名代表人物，对美利坚合众国的诞生、发展有着巨大的贡献，被美国民众称为“国父”。也正如亨利·李所说：“ 战争的第一人，和平中的第一人，他的同胞中的第一人”乔治·华盛顿作为一位资产阶级革命家、军事家、政治家，在世界历史上占有卓越的地位。
3答：因为那12岁的小男孩，家境比较穷买不起新的衣服，所以觉得如果这样上台会被人取笑，会被人议论纷纷。这样会使得他心灵上备受打击，所以放弃了自己的荣誉而哭泣！
4答：所谓的超群出众的人应该就是指，所谓的领导人吧，他此刻的心态应该是想带领人们走向自由不在被压迫吧.
5答：感觉伟大不是自己说出来的，是要别人承认你是个伟大的人，这才是真正的伟大吧

父爱陷阱
那年，他随父亲去狩猎，不慎掉进陷阱。突如其来的一阵黑暗，使他无法适应。他拼命挣扎，拼命呼喊父亲，但是这一切都是徒劳的。他清楚，不久前，父亲出猎时，耳朵受了伤，一直没康复。他所有的呼喊，父亲可能真的听不到。
可是，他居然看见井口边，父亲正在伸头探望。他喜出望外，挥动双手，大声地喊著，爹，我在这儿！爹，我在这儿！父亲还是没听见。也许是陷阱内的光线太暗，父亲看了一会儿，没发现他，就转身离开了。那一刻，他急得哭了。
他沿着井壁走了一周，没发现任何能攀援的地方，要想离开陷阱，凭他的能力，几乎是不可能的。他绝望地坐在地上，等待救援。时间一分一秒地过去，他期待着父亲能早点再找到这里，并能发现他。
井下昏暗潮溼，坐在井底，他感到了阵阵寒意。更糟糕的是，他感觉肚子前所未用地饥饿。父亲一时找不到他，可能回村里喊救兵了。他意识到，即使父亲能以最快的速度赶回来，也需要两天的时间，那么，他能坚持两天吗？而他现在唯一能做的，只有耐心地等待。
周边非常安静，他知道，夜幕开始降临了。忽然，他听到一阵窸窸窣窣的声音，好像是井边的草丛在响，可能是危险动物向井边靠近了。他无法想象，即使是一只常见的獾子，跟他同时窝在一个陷阱内，后果也难以接受。更何况在森林里，危险的动物不计其数。
他提起警觉，掏出那把猎刀，作好了随时跟动物拼命的准备。幸运的是那声音一会儿又消失了--动物可能转个方向离开了。他松了一口气，再次坐到地上。
没多久，困意向他袭来，他闭上了眼睛。忽然那声音再次响起，他重新提高了警惕。他意识到，在井内比在任何地方都危险，他没有退路，他必须时刻保持清醒。但是坚持不了多久，他又松懈了，只有听到井口的声音，他才又振作起来。
夜深了，他不再指望父亲能来救他。如果父亲真的不来，那么，他将永远被困在井内。对于他来说，等待或许才是最危险的。想到这里，他再次站起来，沿着井壁寻找出路。他发现，井壁其实都是些松软的泥土，他掏出猎刀，在井壁上挖出阶梯，挖一步，向上爬一步。他相信，只要他能坚持住，不久就可以爬出陷阱。
他终于成功了！当他爬到井口时，黎明的霞光正照射过来，明亮而美丽。他几乎耗尽了所有力气，一 *** 坐在草地上。
突然，他一跃而起，好像踩上了毒蛇一般--他发现了父亲！父亲竟然就站在一棵大树后面，静静地看着他，身边的草丛凌乱不堪。那一刻，他几乎气晕了--父亲竟然一直守在井口，任由他在井内痛苦地挣扎。他没想到父亲竟然如此冷漠绝情。
父亲满脸憔悴，看到他，显得非常兴奋，赶忙跑过来拥抱他。
他一把将父亲推开，气急败坏地说，我没有你这个见死不救的父亲！
父亲伸出的手僵住了，愣了愣，显得很愧疚。父亲说，对不起。
他说，你知道，我在井里多么期盼着你来救我；而你，竟然就一直守在井口看着我痛苦。
父亲说，我知道你掉入陷阱，但是，我也知道，凭你的能力，能顺利爬出陷阱。因为井壁的土质很松软，只要有把猎刀就能顺利爬出来，而你身上就有一把猎刀。整个晚上，我守在井口，一步不敢离开，因为随时会有动物靠近陷阱。为了提醒你，我不得不用脚踩草丛，制造声音，幸运的是，昨天晚上一直没有任何动物出现。我知道，你习惯了等待救助，但是，更多的情况下，你等不到救援你必须学会自救！这便是我挖这口陷阱的初衷。
他的双眼溼润了，他理解了父亲的苦心。他扑进父亲怀里，说，爹，对不起！父亲拥抱着他，开心地笑了。
那年，他才十三岁，却一夜间成熟得像个老猎人。

小学四年级的英语趣味小故事附中文

The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊
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.
一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。于是他跑到上游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被你骂过。”小羊说，那时他还没有出生。狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过 你。”
这说明，对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。

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.

答案与解析

41.A。细节题。题干：根据文章的意思，很多中年人。根据第一段第二、三句可知，当孩子长大后，中年人期望能享受努力工作创造的生活，然而，现实却不是这样。由此可知，很多中年人不能如愿地享受生活。故本题选A(无法过上他们期望的生活)。

42.D。细节判断题。题干：关于三明治一代，下列哪个描述是正确的?根据第一段第四句可知，很多中年人发现他们正肩负着两种责任：一个是照顾日益年长的父母，另一个是帮助年轻的孩子处理生活的压力。第一段第五句接着说，全世界有数百万的中年人像三明治一样夹在上一代和下一代中间。因此选项D(他们常常在赡养老人和抚养孩子的责任中左右为难)。

43.C。细节题。题干：为什么现在很多年轻人选择和父母住在一起?根据第二段最后三句可知，如今一些年轻人之所以会更久地跟父母住在一起，是因为他们需要父母的经济或情感支持。故本题答案为C(他们需要父母的'支持来应对财务问题)。

44.B。细节判断题。题干：三明治一代面临着下列挑战，除了__________。根据第四段中的“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虑的问题，所以该题答案为B(决定谁来赡养家庭)。

45.D。推断题。题干：想度过人生中这一艰难时段，三明治一代需要__________。最后一段最后两句中的“…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虑自己的需求和自身的生活质量，不能完全忘我。由此可知，要度过这个人生的艰难时段，三明治一代需要考虑自身的幸福，所以该题答案为D(考虑自身的幸福)。
