共用题干The Writing's on the Wall?
Is it art or is it just vandalism（故意破坏公共财物罪）?Well, it's still a crime ,but graffiti（涂鸦）has
changed since the days of spraying your name on a wall to mark your territory.Street art has become much
more sophisticated since a 17-year-old called Demetrius started spraying his"tag",TAKI 183,all over the
New York underground in 1971,and hip-hop culture was born.Hip-hop is a mixture of art,music,dancing,
poetry,language and fashion.It came from 'young inner-city people,who felt left out by their richer classmates
and who were desperate to express themselves in any way they could.
An experiment to control the spread of graffiti in Rochdale,Greater Manchester,has been so successful
that plans have been made by local street artists for an international convention in June."We're planning to
get people together from different countries like France and Germany for a week,"says Liam,one of the
organizers. The scheme started in 2000,and has attracted people of all age groups and both sexes."We all
share a common interest and get on really well with each other."The first site to be chosen was a subway.
"Before we began,people were afraid to use the subway.We had it cleaned up,and now,with all the artists
hanging out down there,people are using it again.People can relate to graffiti much more now."By providing
places to display their talents legally,there has been a fall in the amount of"tagging"on people's private
property.
Street artist Temper developed his drawing skills at a young age.In art classes at school he was really
frustrated because the art teachers didn't spend time with him. They thought he was already very good at art
and so spent more time with other students.So,at 12 years old,Temper started painting with all these guys
he'd hooked up with and who were about 22 years old.He looked up to them and loved what they were doing
on the streets of Wolverhampton,England."The whole hip-hop scene was built up of different things and I
did a bit of everything. But it was always the graffiti I was best at."he says. Since the scheme started,no walls in the town were sprayed with graffiti.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

答案如下：
B
解析： 短文第一段说到他是一名青少年，但是没有证据显示他来自于纽约，因此，该判断在文中没有提到。
短文第二段第三句提到，这一计划是针对所有年龄的人们，而不只是青少年，所以该判 断错误。
短文第二段提到在有组织的涂鸦艺术家们集中在地铁涂鸦之前，人们害怕搭乘地铁，但是文中没有说到人们是否喜欢乘坐地铁。
短文第二段最后一句提到自从该计划实施以来，由于给艺术家们提供了展示他们作品 的场所，在居民的私人房产上涂鸦的现象有所减少。由此可知，城里的墙上还是有涂鸦的，只是数量减少了而已。
短文第三段第四句说到泰普12岁时和其他艺术家一起开始绘画，他们比他年长大约10岁。
短文最后一段提到作为一名涂鸦艺术家，泰普敬佩并喜欢上了英国Wolverhampton的艺术家们，并没有说他现在是涂鸦俱乐部的负责人。
短文最后一段提到他参与了有关嘻哈文化的各种活动，因此，该判断正确。

答案如下：
A
解析： be well-known for keeping to himself是“以与世隔绝为大家所熟知”的意思，符合文章意思。
come across , run into , bump mnt。在语义上都有某种“偶然性”，这是主语所指的人无法控制的，不符合句义，因而这种搭配在语义上是错误的。particularly difficult to catch的意思是“特别难找到他，”符合句意。
寻找正确的答案，常常需要借助上下文提供的信息。上下文常常可以帮助我们做出正确的判断。紧随其后的句子是“It came as a complete surprise."（这个奖来得很突然）。 "shock”跟“surprise”意思很接近，因而“shocked”是正确的答案。
like作“喜欢”解时是动词，而此处需要的是一个名词。devote是“奉献”的意思，是动词；attract是“吸引”的意思，是动词。因此“love”是正确答案。
despite引导的是一种反向对比，主句中有easy，那么它的反义词就是difficult。
make a breakthrough等于break through，是固定搭配。
to take one' s place这里是“占据一席之地，跻身于”的意思，这是固定的说法。
这个句子里没有宾语，因此需要一个不及物动词，在这四个动词中，只有“won”既可作及物动词，又可作不及物动词。其他三个词均为及物动词，所以C为最佳答案。
除了（leal外，handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。
整个句子说的是：在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题时，他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离制度。“从······角度”常用from。
cast its shadow是“使不快；（在心理一上）投下阴影”的意思，是固定的说法。
think twice是“再三考虑，慎重思考”的意思，这是固定的说法。
从紧随其后的句子来看，应填入“mirrored”。这两个句子说的是：事实上，Coetzee作品中的这种纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是一个吃素食的人，他骑车而不开车，并且他也不喝酒。
从下文“far greater than the thing he has given up（比他放弃的东西要多得多）”来看，应选择contributed。全句说的是：但是，他对文学、文化、南非人民所作出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。
tell告诉；say说；inform通知；express表达。结合文意，应选D。

共用题干Waste Not,Want Not
1 Bob and Clara Darlington,who own and run a farm in the North of England,have always looked for
new ways of making money out of the produce they grow.Their success began when they established a shop
on their farm so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly from them.
2 The business was an immediate success,and soon scored top marks in a competition set up by the
Farm Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country.The Association's inspectors found the
Darlingtons' shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as quality fruit and vegetables.
3 Clara Darlington is a trained chef and,in addition to a range of home-grown foods and other local
produce,she began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself in the farmhouse kitchen.
A small cafe alongside the farm shop was soon added,with everything that visitors could taste on the menu
also being for sale in the shop.
4 Clara admits that starting the business was expensive,and she has worked very hard,but maintains
that if the product is good,the public will recognize this and buy it."I aim to offer the highest quality to our cus-
tomers,whether they come in for a loaf of bread,or take a whole dinner-party menu.I take it as a compliment
（恭维）if people take home one of my dishes to serve to their family and friends and get away with preten-
ding they made it themselves."
5 The couple realized that they had a surplus of misshapen or damaged vegetables grown on the farm
which were unsuitable for selling in the shop.Clara,not wishing to see them get thrown away,decided to turn
them into soup.
6 The soup met with the immediate approval of customers to the shop and Clara now produces ten
different varieties. She spent much of the summer traveling up and down to London by rail,doing presentations of
the soups.As a result,they are now served in first-class railway restaurant cars belonging to three companies
as well as being stocked by a number of high-class London stores. Paragraph 3___________A:Professional Recognition is ObtainedB:Ensuring that Nothing Gets WastedC:A Necessary Alternative to FarmingD:Time Well Spent is RewardedE:Continuing Investment in High Standards F: Professional Skills are Exoloited

答案如下：
A
解析： be well-known for keeping to himself是“以与世隔绝为大家所熟知”的意思，符合文章意思。
come across , run into , bump mnt。在语义上都有某种“偶然性”，这是主语所指的人无法控制的，不符合句义，因而这种搭配在语义上是错误的。particularly difficult to catch的意思是“特别难找到他，”符合句意。
寻找正确的答案，常常需要借助上下文提供的信息。上下文常常可以帮助我们做出正确的判断。紧随其后的句子是“It came as a complete surprise."（这个奖来得很突然）。 "shock”跟“surprise”意思很接近，因而“shocked”是正确的答案。
like作“喜欢”解时是动词，而此处需要的是一个名词。devote是“奉献”的意思，是动词；attract是“吸引”的意思，是动词。因此“love”是正确答案。
despite引导的是一种反向对比，主句中有easy，那么它的反义词就是difficult。
make a breakthrough等于break through，是固定搭配。
to take one' s place这里是“占据一席之地，跻身于”的意思，这是固定的说法。
这个句子里没有宾语，因此需要一个不及物动词，在这四个动词中，只有“won”既可作及物动词，又可作不及物动词。其他三个词均为及物动词，所以C为最佳答案。
除了（leal外，handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。
整个句子说的是：在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题时，他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离制度。“从······角度”常用from。
cast its shadow是“使不快；（在心理一上）投下阴影”的意思，是固定的说法。
think twice是“再三考虑，慎重思考”的意思，这是固定的说法。
从紧随其后的句子来看，应填入“mirrored”。这两个句子说的是：事实上，Coetzee作品中的这种纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是一个吃素食的人，他骑车而不开车，并且他也不喝酒。
从下文“far greater than the thing he has given up（比他放弃的东西要多得多）”来看，应选择contributed。全句说的是：但是，他对文学、文化、南非人民所作出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。
tell告诉；say说；inform通知；express表达。结合文意，应选D。

共用题干The Fat Problem that Men Face
It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight.Listening to them is not such a
pleasure.Because the men are new at the game,they don't hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly.
However women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem,especially not in mixed company.They prefer
to face the problem with quiet dignity.Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body
part that mnay be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.
The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary.The actual problem can manifest it-
self in the early 30's,but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms.
I've watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke.His shirts are no
longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist.Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety.He tells me,
with a sheepish grin,that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them"tailored".
Still older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly.Often wives and children play important
roles in their fat-inspection rituals.Take my oldest brother,a former college football player. His daughter says
that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out,"Fat,medium or thin?"She knows the correct
answer:medium.Thin would be an obvious stretch,and fat may not get her that new video.According to his
wife,he stands in front of the mirror in the morning(before the day's meals take their toll),puts his hands
behind his head and lurches into a side bend,then clutches the roll that has developed and says,"am I
getting fatter?"His wife is expected to answer,"you look like you may have lost a few pounds".
And then there are the ex-husbands a pitiful group.They are extremely vocal.When I go to the movies
with one,he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasn't eaten since the
pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn.
After the movie,we sprint to a restaurant,where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread.Before he orders
his chaste salad and soup,he grows plaintive.Do I think he's fat? Men older than the journalist never hesitate to talk about their fat problem yet would be displeased if their family members tell them the truth.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

答案如下：
A
解析： 文章第一段说看到某一年龄段的那些男人们为他们的体重而担心是一件有趣的事情， 而听他们谈论这件事就不那么有趣了。因为这些男人们在这个问题上还是新手，他们总是毫 不迟疑地、没完没了地谈论发福的问题。
第一段第三句话说某一年龄的女人们却不谈论发福的问题，尤其是当有男士在场的时 候。“in mixed company”在这个句子中的意思是“在既有女士也有男士的社交场合。”“in the presence of men”的意思是“在男士面前”。
第二段第一句话说男人们开始为发福的问题而担心的年龄各不相同，因此该题说男人 们通常在将近四十岁的时候开始为体重的问题而担心是不正确的。
第二段中提到的那位记者过去并不喝无糖的健怡可乐，而且过去他常把衬衫扎在裤子 中是为了显示自己纤细的腰部，而不是为了保持体型。
作者在第三段第一句话中说比那位记者还要年长一些的男士们在发胖的问题上已经 丧失了自尊，总是喋喋不休地谈论自己的体重。接着作者以自己的大哥为例说明尽管如此，他 们还是不希望听到自己的妻子和孩子说自己胖。
第三段中作者大哥的女儿不愿告诉父亲他很胖，原因是她想取悦父亲，以便得到自己 想要的东西，比如一盘新录像带，而不是因为怕父亲伤心。
文章最后一段提到离了婚的男士们在发福这个问题上最令人同情，但并没有提到是因 为身边没有夫人而同情他们。

解析： be well-known for keeping to himself是“以与世隔绝为大家所熟知”的意思，符合文章意思。
come across , run into , bump mnt。在语义上都有某种“偶然性”，这是主语所指的人无法控制的，不符合句义，因而这种搭配在语义上是错误的。particularly difficult to catch的意思是“特别难找到他，”符合句意。

共用题干Waste Not,Want Not
1 Bob and Clara Darlington,who own and run a farm in the North of England,have always looked for
new ways of making money out of the produce they grow.Their success began when they established a shop
on their farm so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly from them.
2 The business was an immediate success,and soon scored top marks in a competition set up by the
Farm Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country.The Association's inspectors found the
Darlingtons' shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as quality fruit and vegetables.
3 Clara Darlington is a trained chef and,in addition to a range of home-grown foods and other local
produce,she began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself in the farmhouse kitchen.
A small cafe alongside the farm shop was soon added,with everything that visitors could taste on the menu
also being for sale in the shop.
4 Clara admits that starting the business was expensive,and she has worked very hard,but maintains
that if the product is good,the public will recognize this and buy it."I aim to offer the highest quality to our cus-
tomers,whether they come in for a loaf of bread,or take a whole dinner-party menu.I take it as a compliment
（恭维）if people take home one of my dishes to serve to their family and friends and get away with preten-
ding they made it themselves."
5 The couple realized that they had a surplus of misshapen or damaged vegetables grown on the farm
which were unsuitable for selling in the shop.Clara,not wishing to see them get thrown away,decided to turn
them into soup.
6 The soup met with the immediate approval of customers to the shop and Clara now produces ten
different varieties. She spent much of the summer traveling up and down to London by rail,doing presentations of
the soups.As a result,they are now served in first-class railway restaurant cars belonging to three companies
as well as being stocked by a number of high-class London stores. Paragraph 4 _________A:Professional Recognition is ObtainedB:Ensuring that Nothing Gets WastedC:A Necessary Alternative to FarmingD:Time Well Spent is RewardedE:Continuing Investment in High Standards F: Professional Skills are Exoloited

解析： 该段讲到他们参加了一场比赛，获得了最高分，产品得到了农场零售协会检查员的认 可。由此可知，A项与本段内容相符。
本段主要讲克拉拉?达灵顿是一位受过训练的厨师，她除了出售来自自家农场的食物 和本地出产的农产品外，还开设了一家小餐馆，顺便出售自制的食品，农场的经营变得越来越 专业。由此可知，F项与本段内容相符。
选择高标准、持续的投资是非常必要的。农场为顾客提供最优质的农产品。
夫妇俩把那些不适合在商店出售的畸形的或是被弄坏的剩余蔬菜做成蔬菜汤，因此该 段标题应该是B项内容。
文章第一段提到他们在农场建了一个商店，人们可以直接购买新鲜蔬菜了。
第三段的第一句“除了来自自家农场的食物和本地出产的农产品外，她开始在农家厨 房提供各式各样自己烹调的食物”提供了答案。
第五段最后一句“克拉拉不愿意看到它们被浪费掉，于是决定把它们做成汤”提供了答案。
最后一段第二句说到她夏天的大部分时间都在乘坐火车往返于家乡和伦敦之间，以展示自己的蔬菜汤，所以应该选D项。

said. His_________(54)of privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend prize-giving in Stockholm,
Sweden,on December 10.But despite being described as_______(55)to track down,the critics agree that
his writing is easy to get to know.
Born in Cape Town,South Africa,to an English-speakingfamily,Coetzee_______(56)his break-

world's leading writers with two Booker prize victories,Britain's highest honour for novels.He first

"I have always been more interested in the past than the future,"he said in a rare interview.
"The past________(61)its shadow over the present.I hope I have made one or two people think
_______(62)about whether they want to forget the past completely."In fact this purity in his writing
seems to be_________(63)in his personal life.Coetzee is a vegetarian,a cyclist rather than a motorist and
he doesn't drink alcohol.But what he has________(64)to literature,culture and the people of South Africa is far greater than the things he has given up."In looking at weakness and failure in life,"the Nobel
prize judging panel said,"Coetzee's work_________(65)the divine spark in man." _________(65)A:tells B:says C:informs D:expresses
答案如下：
D
解析： be well-known for keeping to himself是“以与世隔绝为大家所熟知”的意思，符合文章意思。
come across , run into , bump mnt。在语义上都有某种“偶然性”，这是主语所指的人无法控制的，不符合句义，因而这种搭配在语义上是错误的。particularly difficult to catch的意思是“特别难找到他，”符合句意。
寻找正确的答案，常常需要借助上下文提供的信息。上下文常常可以帮助我们做出正确的判断。紧随其后的句子是“It came as a complete surprise."（这个奖来得很突然）。 "shock”跟“surprise”意思很接近，因而“shocked”是正确的答案。
like作“喜欢”解时是动词，而此处需要的是一个名词。devote是“奉献”的意思，是动词；attract是“吸引”的意思，是动词。因此“love”是正确答案。
despite引导的是一种反向对比，主句中有easy，那么它的反义词就是difficult。
make a breakthrough等于break through，是固定搭配。
to take one' s place这里是“占据一席之地，跻身于”的意思，这是固定的说法。
这个句子里没有宾语，因此需要一个不及物动词，在这四个动词中，只有“won”既可作及物动词，又可作不及物动词。其他三个词均为及物动词，所以C为最佳答案。
除了（leal外，handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。
整个句子说的是：在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题时，他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离制度。“从······角度”常用from。
cast its shadow是“使不快；（在心理一上）投下阴影”的意思，是固定的说法。
think twice是“再三考虑，慎重思考”的意思，这是固定的说法。
从紧随其后的句子来看，应填入“mirrored”。这两个句子说的是：事实上，Coetzee作品中的这种纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是一个吃素食的人，他骑车而不开车，并且他也不喝酒。
从下文“far greater than the thing he has given up（比他放弃的东西要多得多）”来看，应选择contributed。全句说的是：但是，他对文学、文化、南非人民所作出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。
tell告诉；say说；inform通知；express表达。结合文意，应选D。

1 Bob and Clara Darlington,who own and run a farm in the North of England,have always looked for
new ways of making money out of the produce they grow.Their success began when they established a shop
on their farm so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly from them.
2 The business was an immediate success,and soon scored top marks in a competition set up by the
Farm Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country.The Association's inspectors found the
Darlingtons' shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as quality fruit and vegetables.
3 Clara Darlington is a trained chef and,in addition to a range of home-grown foods and other local
produce,she began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself in the farmhouse kitchen.
A small cafe alongside the farm shop was soon added,with everything that visitors could taste on the menu
also being for sale in the shop.
4 Clara admits that starting the business was expensive,and she has worked very hard,but maintains
that if the product is good,the public will recognize this and buy it."I aim to offer the highest quality to our cus-

Is it art or is it just vandalism（故意破坏公共财物罪）?Well, it's still a crime ,but graffiti（涂鸦）has

more sophisticated since a 17-year-old called Demetrius started spraying his"tag",TAKI 183,all over the
New York underground in 1971,and hip-hop culture was born.Hip-hop is a mixture of art,music,dancing,

解析： 短文第一段说到他是一名青少年，但是没有证据显示他来自于纽约，因此，该判断在文中没有提到。
短文第二段第三句提到，这一计划是针对所有年龄的人们，而不只是青少年，所以该判 断错误。
短文第二段提到在有组织的涂鸦艺术家们集中在地铁涂鸦之前，人们害怕搭乘地铁，但是文中没有说到人们是否喜欢乘坐地铁。
短文第二段最后一句提到自从该计划实施以来，由于给艺术家们提供了展示他们作品 的场所，在居民的私人房产上涂鸦的现象有所减少。由此可知，城里的墙上还是有涂鸦的，只是数量减少了而已。
短文第三段第四句说到泰普12岁时和其他艺术家一起开始绘画，他们比他年长大约10岁。
短文最后一段提到作为一名涂鸦艺术家，泰普敬佩并喜欢上了英国Wolverhampton的艺术家们，并没有说他现在是涂鸦俱乐部的负责人。
短文最后一段提到他参与了有关嘻哈文化的各种活动，因此，该判断正确。

Is it art or is it just vandalism（故意破坏公共财物罪）?Well, it's still a crime ,but graffiti（涂鸦）has
changed since the days of spraying your name on a wall to mark your territory.Street art has become much
more sophisticated since a 17-year-old called Demetrius started spraying his"tag",TAKI 183,all over the
New York underground in 1971,and hip-hop culture was born.Hip-hop is a mixture of art,music,dancing,
poetry,language and fashion.It came from 'young inner-city people,who felt left out by their richer classmates
and who were desperate to express themselves in any way they could.
An experiment to control the spread of graffiti in Rochdale,Greater Manchester,has been so successful
that plans have been made by local street artists for an international convention in June."We're planning to
get people together from different countries like France and Germany for a week,"says Liam,one of the
organizers. The scheme started in 2000,and has attracted people of all age groups and both sexes."We all
share a common interest and get on really well with each other."The first site to be chosen was a subway.
"Before we began,people were afraid to use the subway.We had it cleaned up,and now,with all the artists
hanging out down there,people are using it again.People can relate to graffiti much more now."By providing
places to display their talents legally,there has been a fall in the amount of"tagging"on people's private
property.
Street artist Temper developed his drawing skills at a young age.In art classes at school he was really
frustrated because the art teachers didn't spend time with him. They thought he was already very good at art
and so spent more time with other students.So,at 12 years old,Temper started painting with all these guys
he'd hooked up with and who were about 22 years old.He looked up to them and loved what they were doing
on the streets of Wolverhampton,England."The whole hip-hop scene was built up of different things and I
did a bit of everything. But it was always the graffiti I was best at."he says. People did not like using the subway before an organized group of graffiti artists came.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

解析： 短文第一段说到他是一名青少年，但是没有证据显示他来自于纽约，因此，该判断在文中没有提到。
短文第二段第三句提到，这一计划是针对所有年龄的人们，而不只是青少年，所以该判 断错误。
短文第二段提到在有组织的涂鸦艺术家们集中在地铁涂鸦之前，人们害怕搭乘地铁，但是文中没有说到人们是否喜欢乘坐地铁。
短文第二段最后一句提到自从该计划实施以来，由于给艺术家们提供了展示他们作品 的场所，在居民的私人房产上涂鸦的现象有所减少。由此可知，城里的墙上还是有涂鸦的，只是数量减少了而已。
短文第三段第四句说到泰普12岁时和其他艺术家一起开始绘画，他们比他年长大约10岁。
短文最后一段提到作为一名涂鸦艺术家，泰普敬佩并喜欢上了英国Wolverhampton的艺术家们，并没有说他现在是涂鸦俱乐部的负责人。
短文最后一段提到他参与了有关嘻哈文化的各种活动，因此，该判断正确。

共用题干Waste Not,Want Not
1 Bob and Clara Darlington,who own and run a farm in the North of England,have always looked for
new ways of making money out of the produce they grow.Their success began when they established a shop
on their farm so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly from them.
2 The business was an immediate success,and soon scored top marks in a competition set up by the
Farm Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country.The Association's inspectors found the
Darlingtons' shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as quality fruit and vegetables.
3 Clara Darlington is a trained chef and,in addition to a range of home-grown foods and other local
produce,she began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself in the farmhouse kitchen.
A small cafe alongside the farm shop was soon added,with everything that visitors could taste on the menu
also being for sale in the shop.
4 Clara admits that starting the business was expensive,and she has worked very hard,but maintains
that if the product is good,the public will recognize this and buy it."I aim to offer the highest quality to our cus-
tomers,whether they come in for a loaf of bread,or take a whole dinner-party menu.I take it as a compliment
（恭维）if people take home one of my dishes to serve to their family and friends and get away with preten-
ding they made it themselves."
5 The couple realized that they had a surplus of misshapen or damaged vegetables grown on the farm
which were unsuitable for selling in the shop.Clara,not wishing to see them get thrown away,decided to turn
them into soup.
6 The soup met with the immediate approval of customers to the shop and Clara now produces ten
different varieties. She spent much of the summer traveling up and down to London by rail,doing presentations of
the soups.As a result,they are now served in first-class railway restaurant cars belonging to three companies
as well as being stocked by a number of high-class London stores. Paragraph 2 ___________A:Professional Recognition is ObtainedB:Ensuring that Nothing Gets WastedC:A Necessary Alternative to FarmingD:Time Well Spent is RewardedE:Continuing Investment in High Standards F: Professional Skills are Exoloited

共用题干第一篇
The Iceman
On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy.High
up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet,or 3,200
meters),the ice is usually permanent,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward. The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the
head.There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of
gloves made of tree bark（树皮）and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions.
Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War Ⅰ ,
since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father,who
had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists who
rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old.
Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was probably
a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a different
story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin,
but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound,and not from the
wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might have been
part of a larger war,or he might have been fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit himself.
By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the
times he lived in.We may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to
the history of those distant times. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A:The Iceman lived a poor life.B:The Iceman was struck dead from behind.C:The Iceman was killed while working.D:The Iceman could have died from the wound in the head.

The Iceman
On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy.High
up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet,or 3,200
meters),the ice is usually permanent,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward. The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the
head.There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of
gloves made of tree bark（树皮）and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions.
Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War Ⅰ ,
since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father,who
had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists who
rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old.
Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was probably
a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a different
story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin,
but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound,and not from the
wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might have been
part of a larger war,or he might have been fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit himself.
By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the
times he lived in.We may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to
the history of those distant times. The body of the Iceman was found in the mountains mainly because__________.A:he was lying on the iceB:he was just on a mountain passC:two Germans were climbing the mountainsD:the melted ice made him visible

答案如下：
C
解析： be well-known for keeping to himself是“以与世隔绝为大家所熟知”的意思，符合文章意思。
come across , run into , bump mnt。在语义上都有某种“偶然性”，这是主语所指的人无法控制的，不符合句义，因而这种搭配在语义上是错误的。particularly difficult to catch的意思是“特别难找到他，”符合句意。
寻找正确的答案，常常需要借助上下文提供的信息。上下文常常可以帮助我们做出正确的判断。紧随其后的句子是“It came as a complete surprise."（这个奖来得很突然）。 "shock”跟“surprise”意思很接近，因而“shocked”是正确的答案。
like作“喜欢”解时是动词，而此处需要的是一个名词。devote是“奉献”的意思，是动词；attract是“吸引”的意思，是动词。因此“love”是正确答案。
despite引导的是一种反向对比，主句中有easy，那么它的反义词就是difficult。
make a breakthrough等于break through，是固定搭配。
to take one' s place这里是“占据一席之地，跻身于”的意思，这是固定的说法。
这个句子里没有宾语，因此需要一个不及物动词，在这四个动词中，只有“won”既可作及物动词，又可作不及物动词。其他三个词均为及物动词，所以C为最佳答案。
除了（leal外，handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。
整个句子说的是：在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题时，他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离制度。“从······角度”常用from。
cast its shadow是“使不快；（在心理一上）投下阴影”的意思，是固定的说法。
think twice是“再三考虑，慎重思考”的意思，这是固定的说法。
从紧随其后的句子来看，应填入“mirrored”。这两个句子说的是：事实上，Coetzee作品中的这种纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是一个吃素食的人，他骑车而不开车，并且他也不喝酒。
从下文“far greater than the thing he has given up（比他放弃的东西要多得多）”来看，应选择contributed。全句说的是：但是，他对文学、文化、南非人民所作出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。
tell告诉；say说；inform通知；express表达。结合文意，应选D。
