Part II  Reading Comprehension

Section A

Passage One

31.答案:A。问题:文章主要阐述什么?主旨题。纵观全文,可知这篇文章主要说如何对待疼痛。

32.答案:B。细节题。问题中的原句是第二段第三句,通过对其后两个句子的理解可以得出答案。当我们身体有点儿不舒服的时候,我们就感觉到疼痛了。就是因为我们人体会感觉到疼痛,所以一直以来我们总会被疼痛折磨。可见我们对疼痛的敏感使我们遭受了很多痛苦。

33.答案:D。细节题。作者在第三段提到了印度的苦行僧,苦行僧主要用mind也就是意念来忍受疼痛。

34.答案:A。细节题。最后一段第一句话提到对疼痛忍受程度关键在于我们对待疼痛的态度。

37.答案:C。细节题。第一段第六行New houses must also face north or south, so that they will not be overheated by the sun in summer.新房子必须要朝南和朝北才能不在夏天被太阳晒后温度过高而导致消耗过多能源。

38.答案:D。细节题。从第一段第 十行开始讲到了城市的交通工具。Buses partially supported by the city transport university students throughout the area.部分公交车是由城市财政支持的,所以A不正确。公交车运输的是大学生,所以B也不正确。here are 24 miles of bicycle paths有24 英里长的自行车道,没有提到与公交车道的长度比较,所以C不正确。后半句讲到today there are twice as many bicycles as cars in the city城里自行车的数量是私家车的两倍多,所以D是正确的。

39.答案:D。细节题。倒数第三句、第四句和第五句讲的都是减少泊位后的好处。1. reducing the number or cars in the city. 2. the greater number of small cars. 3. People are choosing not to drive. 4. People are driving fuel-economic car.城市里面车辆的数目减少了,小车的数量增加了。而且有更多的人选择不开车或者开小排量的车。由此ABC都有提到,所以D不是减少泊车位带来的好处。

40.答案:B。全局题。作者为什么提到这个城市并作为典型、在文章开头和结尾都有提到energy conservation节约能源,所以B是正确答案。

Passage Three

41.答案:D。细节题。文章第一段讲到了树木的三大作用: 1. they provide him with wood and other products; 2. they give him shade; 3. they help to prevent droughts (干旱) and floods.第二 段开头又谈到man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important人们往往没有意识到第三个作用是最重要的作用,所以D为正确答案。

When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation 这个帝国最终分崩离析.因为没有了树木,全国面临饥荒和洪水。所以A为正确答案。

43. 答案:D。细节题。第三段提到,The villager wants wood to cook his food with; and he can earn money by making charcoal (木炭) or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. 乡村居民砍伐树木烧饭、出售制成木炭赚钱。唯独不愿种植和照看新树林。所以D为正确答案。

44.答案:A。细节题。选出不属于树的作用选项。从第一段可以知道B是对的。 从最后一段可以知道,树木的根会扎进泥土,使得雨水可以渗透进去,而且同时固定住了泥土。所以C和D也是对的。

Passage One

What is the sky? Where is it? How high is it? What lies above the sky? I am sure that you have asked these questions. They are very difficult to answer, aren’t they? If someone asks you what color is the sky, I expect you would answer blue. I am afraid that you will be wrong. The sky has no color. When you see blue, you are looking at blue sunlight. The sunlight is shining a lite bit of dust in the air. Is the sky full of air? 1 am sure you have asked this question too. We know that there is air around the world. We could not breathe without air. Airplanes could not fly without air. They need air to lift their wings. Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner. If we go far enough away from the earth, we find there is no air. Perhaps we can answer some of our questions now. What is the sky? Nothing. Where is it? It is all around the word. The sky is space. In this space there is nothing except the sun, the moon and all the stars.

Questions 11-13 are based on the passage you have just heard.

11. What is the color of the sky according to the passage?

12. Why can’t airplanes fly without air?

13. Which of the following is false according to the passage?

 

Passage Two

Christmas is America’s most popular holiday. Some people attend church to observe Christmas as the birthday of Christ. For others Christmas is just a day of fun and celebration, a time for family and friends to get together, exchange gifts and enjoy a huge Christmas dinner. During the last days of November, American homes and stores begin to be decorated with Christmas tree and bright lights. Schools and churches prepare special holiday concerts. People go to parties, buy fun gifts and prepare special Christmas food. Some people criticize Christmas. They say it is not religious enough. They say the holiday has become such a big business that Americans forget it was created to honor the birth of Christ. It is true that some people spend a lot of money during the holiday season. Store owners expect to get 60 to 70 percent of their yearly earnings during this month before Christmas, however, … point out that Americans also do many special things to help each other at Christmas time. One international organization assists more than two and one half million people in the United States each Christmas. The organization gives out toys, warm clothing, food and many other kinds of aid.

Questions 14-16 are based on the passage you have just heard.

14. When do the Americans usually begin the Christmas activities?

15. Which of the following benefits most financially from Christmas according to the passage?

16. According to the defenders of Christmas, what special things do Americans also do at Christmas time?

 

Passage Three

Most large cities in the United Sates offer international samples of food. Many people enjoy eating foods of other nations. This may be one reason why there are so many restaurants in the United States. A second reason is that many Americans come from other parts of the world. They enjoy tasting the food of their native land. In the city of Detroit, for example, there are many people from Western Europe, Greece, Latin America and the Far East. There are many restaurants in Detroit which serve the foods of these areas. There are many other international restaurants, too. Americans enjoy the foods in these restaurants as well as the opportunity to better understand the people and their way of life. One of the most common international restaurants to be found in the United States is the Italian restaurant. The restaurant may be a small business run by a single family or it may be a large restaurant owned by several different people who work together in the business. Many Italian dishes that Americans enjoy are made with meat, tomatoes and cheese. They are very delicious and tasty.

Questions 17-20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

17. What does the passage tell us about large cities in the US?

18. What does the passage say about Detroit?

19. What does the passage say about Italian restaurants?

20. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

Section A

Passage One

牙医钻孔的时刻,可能会让我们紧张不安。我们中的许多人无法忍受疼痛。为了避免可能持续一两分钟的钻牙疼痛,我们要求注射一针止痛剂,使牙齿周围的神经麻木。

的确,人类的身体已经发展出了数以百万计的神经系统,对身体内外发生的事情高度敏感。这有助于我们适应这个世界。如果没有我们的神经,没有我们的大脑,所谓的神经束,我们就不会知道发生了什么。但我们为自己的敏感付出了代价。当我们身体的任何部位出了一点问题,我们都能感觉到疼痛。刑讯逼供的历史正是基于人体能够感知疼痛。

但有一种方法可以缓解疼痛。看印度的苦行僧,他坐在钉床上。苦行僧可以把针直接扎进手臂,而不会感到疼痛。这种人类发展出来的处理疼痛的能力,应该能让我们了解大脑如何处理疼痛。

在忍受痛苦的过程中,最重要的是我们对它的态度。如果牙医说:“这会有点疼”,它会帮助我们接受疼痛。保持放松,把疼痛当作一种有趣的感觉来对待,我们就能处理疼痛而不会崩溃。毕竟,尽管疼痛是一种不愉快的感觉,但它仍然是感觉的一种,而感觉是生命的组成部分。

Passage Two

在过去的几周里,我们一直在讨论未来的国家节能替代方案。今天我要讲的是一个社区目前正在做些什么来节约能源。自1973年以来,加州戴维斯市的居民已经成功地减少了三分之一的能源消耗。70年代早期采取的第一个节能行动是街道建筑法规的立法。戴维斯的所有新房子都必须安装适当的隔热材料,这样冬天的时候就不会有多余的热量散去。新房子也必须朝北或朝南,这样它们在夏天就不会被太阳晒得过热。这条法律确实起了作用。自1976年以来,用于供暖和空调的天然气和电力已经节省了50%。戴维斯还有其他节能的特点。市政府对公共汽车提供部分支持,将大学生运送到各个地区。市内还有24英里的自行车道,现在自行车的数量是汽车的两倍。通过减少可用停车位,市议会已成功地减少了市内每天的汽车数量。减少停车位的另一个好处是小型车的数量增加了。人们节省汽油是因为他们选择不开车,或者因为他们开的是燃油经济型汽车。加州的戴维斯已经成为其他城市节能的典范。下课时间到了。下周,我们回到我们的常规话题——国家能源替代。

Passage Three

树木对人类有三个非常重要的用处:它们为人类提供木材和其他产品;提供树荫;有助于防止干旱和洪水。

不幸的是,在世界上的许多地方,人们还没有意识到第三种用处才是最重要的。急于从树木中快速获取利益,人类大量砍伐树木,却发现没有了它们,他就失去了最好的朋友。二千年前一个富裕和强大的国家砍伐树木建造军舰,去建造帝国。帝国建成了,但是没有了树木,土地变得贫瘠。当帝国瓦解时,曾经的国土上洪水泛滥、饿殍遍野。

尽管政府意识到大量树木保障的重要性,却很难说服村民们认识到这一点。村民想用树木煮饭,用树木烧木炭去赚钱或把木头卖给城里人。但他懒得种新树或疏于管理。所以,除非政府有一个好的管控系统,或者能够教育人们,否则森林将会慢慢消失。

这不仅意味着村民的儿孙们的树更少。结果甚至更严重,因为有树木的地方,树根会破开土壤——让雨水渗进土壤,因而防止土壤被水轻易冲走,但没有树木的地方,雨落在坚硬的地面,冲走了表层土壤,导致洪水冲走了肥沃的让作物生长良好的表层土。当所有的表层土壤都消失了,除了毫无价值的沙漠,什么也没了。

 

Section B

历史提供了诸多好处。首先,我们从过去吸取教训。我们可能会重复错误,但至少我们有机会避免错误。第二,历史教会我们对现在应该问些什么问题。与有些人观点相反的是,历史的研究不是记记名字、日期和地点。它是对影响人类生活进程的各种力量的深思熟虑的审查。我们可以审视过去的事件,然后得出关于当今事件的推论。历史告诉我们可能的结果。研究历史的另一个好处是涵盖了广泛的人类经验。战争与和平当然包括在内,国内和国际事务也包括在内。然而,文化成果的问题(艺术、文学和音乐)也包括在历史研究中。人性是历史的重要组成部分:愤怒、贪婪和不安全感等情绪影响着世界事务的形成。如果有人认为学历史很无聊,那他就没有真正学过历史。

在一个技术发展速度比以往任何时候都快的时代,许多人都被回顾过去的想法所吸引。其中一种方式就是调查自己的家族史。他们可以试着了解更多关于他们的家庭来自哪里,他们做了什么。现在,这是一种快速增长的爱好,特别是在历史相当短的国家,如澳大利亚和美国。

花些时间阅读一本家族史书,并逐步调查你的家庭的过去,这是一回事。成功地开展研究工作就是另一回事了。很容易就以无组织的方式开始干了,并导致许多问题发生,而这些原本可以通过一个小小的前置计划来避免的。

如果你的家庭故事告诉你,你与一个著名的人物有联系,无论是英雄还是罪犯,不要让这个事实取代你的研究。仅仅把它当作一种有趣的可能性的存在。一个收集和储存信息的简单系统足以开始这件事;一个更复杂的问题可能会阻碍你的工作。但是,最重要的事情是开始。谁知道你会发现什么。

 

Section B

你知道口香糖的发明是一个意外吗?自古以来,人们就一直在嚼类似口香糖的物质。有些是用增稠的树脂制成的,树脂是一种来自植物的物质。还有一些是由谷物和蜡制成的。但我们今天所知道的口香糖,是在1870年被错误地发明出来的,当时摄影师Thomas Adams与墨西哥将军Antorio Leopez de Santa Anna成为了朋友。

Santa Anna在阿拉莫反对德克萨斯人后,他被迫离开了他的祖国墨西哥。Santa Anna在纽约和Thomas Adams住在一起,并向他介绍了一种墨西哥人喜欢嚼的胶状物质——树胶。树胶是生长在中美洲热带雨林中的某些树木的乳白色物质。Adams想用树胶发明一种更便宜的橡胶替代品。他试着用树胶做各种各样的东西,包括玩具和胶靴,但他的每一次实验都失败了。

有一天,当他回想起自己的失败时,他想起了墨西哥人嚼的树胶。出于好奇,他把一片树胶放进嘴里,开始咀嚼。亚当斯给树胶添加了甘草,并开办了世界上第一个口香糖工厂。

就像Adams发现口香糖一样,泡泡糖的发明也是一个意外。1928年,Walter Diemer,一个口香糖公司的会计师,在费城做口香糖新配方的实验时偶然发明的。Diemer发明了一种比普通口香糖更不粘,更有弹性的口香糖。Diemer发现他可以用这种新口香糖吹泡泡。

无论是不是意外,口香糖和泡泡糖是全世界的人们都喜欢的两项发明!

Media and Shopping

Today various kinds of media have been very popular and well-developed. An increasing number of people are enjoying the convenience of shopping with the help of media, especially on the Internet.

Every coin has two sides and purchasing goods through media is no exception. On one hand, it is very convenient and easy to do sopping on the Internet. People can save much money and time. On the other hand, there are a lot of problems. For example, people can not see the real commodity before shopping and may be cheated by the false information. People may also be concerned about the after-sale services.

In my opinion, shopping through media brings great benefit to our life, such as less time, more choices. At the same time, we need to strengthen supervision over the information released via media.
