_________(51)
A:certainly

答案如下:
B解析:本句是递进关系,强调本世纪的后20年,所以选B。 certainly意为“必然地”;apparently意为“明显地”;practically意为“实际上”。
towards表示变化的倾向,意为“朝······方向发展”。
上文提到本世纪的主要变化是女性享有更多与男性同样的权利。因此可以推断本世纪初与现在相比,妇女的权利要较少。所以选B。
上一句说“妇女不能投票,被关在家里”,下一句说“据我们所知,大多数妇女很高兴这样”,这显然是转折关系,所以选C。
由上文推断本句的意思应该是“英国妇女当然比过去享有更多的权利”,所以选B。 lack是“缺少”的意思;occupy是“占据”的意思。
give意为“给予”;deprive意为“剥夺”;deny意为“否认,拒绝”;approve意为“批准,通过”。由上文妇女获得权利可以推断本句的意思是“1919年,妇女被给予投票权”。因此选A。
share是“分享,共享”的意思,本句的意思是离婚时,给予妇女同样份额的财产,即夫妻分享财产。所以选D。
上一句说“1970年,法律规定在离婚时给予妇女同样份额的财产”,下一句说“同年的《同酬法案》给予妇女同工同酬的权利”,两项法律都是给予妇女权利,是并列关系,所以用表示并列关系的连词and。
because of意为“因为,由于”;instead of意为“而不是······”;in spite of意为“不管,虽然”;as a result of意为“作为······的结果”。本句的意思是“虽然有这些改变,女性与男性的地位仍然存在巨大差别”,表示让步关系,所以应选C。
由上文可以推断虽然有法律规定,但是女性与男性的地位仍然存在巨大差别,工资的差别就是其中之一,这是由于许多雇主忽视《同酬法案》,所以选C。
sb.be likely to do sth.表示可能性,意为“某人很可能做某事”,本句的意思是“做同样的工作,女性可能平均只赚男性的一半”。
according to sth.意为“根据某事”;apart from/in addition to sth.意为“除了某事”;according to a survey是“根据调查结果”的意思。
by mistake意为“错误地”;by accident意为“偶然”;in turn意为“依次,轮流”;in fact意为“事实上”。比较选项只能选D,本句的意思是:“根据一份调查,事实上,现在全国只有1/3的工人是女性。”
stem from是“来自,源于”的意思,相当于result from,本句的意思是“这么小的比例部分是由于缺乏幼儿园。”A result in B是“A导致B”的意思。
上一句提到妇女不参加工作是由于缺乏幼儿园,所以此句应为如果有足够的幼儿园。

Searching for Smiles
1 Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will
probably be:"to be happy."Ed Deiner,an American psychology professor,has spent his
whole professional life studying what makes people happy,comparing levels of happiness
between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.
2 Many people would say that this question does not need an answer.But Professor Deiner
has one anyway."If you're a cheerful,happy person,your marriage is more likely to last,and
you're more likely to make money and be successful at your job.On average,happy people
have stronger immune(免疫的)systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer."
3 So who are the world's happiest people?It depends on how the word is defined.There
is individual happiness,the sense of joy we get when we do something we like.But there is
also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of
how we behave.According to Professor Deiner,the Western world pursues individual
happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.
4 "In the West, the individualistic(个人主义的)culture means that your mood matters
much more than it does in the East.People ask themselves,what can I do that's fun or
interesting?They become unhappy when they can't do any of these things.If you ask
people from Japan or China if they are happy,they tend to look at what has gone wrong in
their lives.If not much has gone wrong,then they are satisfied."
5 People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture,Professor
Deiner found."The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame.Hispanic(西班牙
语言的)cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others."
6 Income also made a big difference to people's happiness,but only at the lowest levels.
Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty.But
millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes.It seems that
money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.
7 But can we be too happy? "You get people who are actually happy,but they think
happiness is so important that they try to be even happier.This desire to be always happy is
a product of individualism,where the emphasis is on you individually,your emotions and
feeling good.People can end up feeling unhappy because ordinary happiness is not good
enough for them."

Citizen Scientists
Understanding how nature responds to climate change will require monitoring key life cycle events一
flowering,the appearance of leaves and the first frog calls of the spring一all around the world.But ecologists
can't be everywhere so they're turning to non-scientists,sometimes called citizen scientists,for help.
Climate scientists are not present everywhere.Because there are so many places in the world and not
enough scientists to observe all of them,they're asking for your help in observing signs of climate change
across the world.The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people to observe a very specific
research interest一birds,trees,flowers budding,etc.and send their observations to a giant database to be
observed by professional scientists.This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they
would never be able to gather on their own.Much like citizen journalists helping large publications cover a
hyper-local beat,citizen scientists are ready for the conditions where they live in.All that's needed to become
one is a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and send them in.
A group of scientists and educators launched an organization last year called the National Phenology
Network."Phenology"is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.
One of the group's first efforts relies on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data about plant
flowering and leafing eveiy year.The program,called Project BudBurst,collects life cycle data on a variety of
common plants from across the United States.People participating in the project一which is open to every-
one一record their observations on the Project BudBurst website.
"People don't have to be plant experts一they just have to look around and see what's in their neighbor-
hood,"says Jennifer Schwartz,an education consultant with the project."As we collect these data,we'll be
able to make an estimate of how plants and communities of plants and animals will respond as the climate
changes."
In"All that's needed to become one…(Paragraph 2)",what does the word"one"stand for?
A:A citizen journalist.
B:A citizen scientist?
C:A scientist.
D:A citizen.

flowering,the appearance of leaves and the first frog calls of the spring一all around the world.But ecologists
can't be everywhere so they're turning to non-scientists,sometimes called citizen scientists,for help.
Climate scientists are not present everywhere.Because there are so many places in the world and not
enough scientists to observe all of them,they're asking for your help in observing signs of climate change
across the world.The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people to observe a very specific
research interest一birds,trees,flowers budding,etc.and send their observations to a giant database to be
observed by professional scientists.This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they
would never be able to gather on their own.Much like citizen journalists helping large publications cover a
hyper-local beat,citizen scientists are ready for the conditions where they live in.All that's needed to become
one is a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and send them in.
A group of scientists and educators launched an organization last year called the National Phenology
Network."Phenology"is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.
One of the group's first efforts relies on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data about plant
flowering and leafing eveiy year.The program,called Project BudBurst,collects life cycle data on a variety of
common plants from across the United States.People participating in the project一which is open to every-
one一record their observations on the Project BudBurst website.
"People don't have to be plant experts一they just have to look around and see what's in their neighbor-
hood,"says Jennifer Schwartz,an education consultant with the project."As we collect these data,we'll be
able to make an estimate of how plants and communities of plants and animals will respond as the climate
changes."
In"All that's needed to become one…(Paragraph 2)",what does the word"one"stand for?
A:A citizen journalist.
B:A citizen scientist?
C:A scientist.
D:A citizen.
答案如下:
B解析:
短文第一段提到科学家们不可能观察每一个地方的气候变化的现象,所以邀请普通人 为他们观察、收集信息。
短文第二段讲到,平民科学家运动鼓励普通人根据自己的兴趣来观察某一个特定的方 面,并把他们的观察结果发送到一个巨大的数据库来供专业科学家研究。结合选项,可知答案 为B。
短文第二段最后一句话的后半部分“所要做的仅仅是每天或每周抽出几分钟的时间来 收集数据并发送到数据库”可知,"one”是针对citizen scientist来说的。

Exercise Can Replace Insulin for Elderly Diabetics
Most old people with so-called type Ⅱ diabetes could stop taking insulin if they would do brisk exercise for 30 minutes just three times a week,according to new medical research results reported in the Copenhagen newspaper Berlingske Tidende on Monday.
Results from tests conducted on diabetics at the Copenhagen Central Hospital Rigshospitalet's Center
for Muscle Research showed that physical exercise can boost the body's ability to utilise insulin by 30 percent,the newspaper reported.
This is equal to the effect most elderly diabetics get from their insulin medication today,it said.
Researchers had a group of non-diabetic men and a group of men with type II,all more than 60 years of age,exercise on bicycles six times a week for three months.After the three months the doctors measured how much sugar the test subjects'muscles could utilise as a measure for how well their insulin worked.
Associate Professor Dr.Flemming Dela of the Muscle Research Center said the tests demonstrated that the exercising diabetics had just as high insulin utilisation as the healthy non-exercising persons.
"This means that the insulin works just as well for both groups.Physical exercise cannot cure people of diabetes,but it can eliminate almost all their symptoms.At the same time it can put off the point at which they have to begin taking insulin or perhaps completely avoid insulin treatment,"Dela was quoted as saying.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas,controlling sugar in the body and used against diabetes.
Dela said that to achieve the desired effect diabetics need only exercise to the point where they begin to work up a sweat,but that the activity has to be maintained since it wears off after five days without sufficient exercise。
Most diabetics realise that they have to watch their diet while remaining unaware of the importance of exercise,Dela added.
How could most elderly type Ⅱ diabetics stop taking insulin?
A:By taking more salt than usual.
B:By taking less salt than usual.
C:By doing brisk exercise for half an hour at least three times a week.
D:By going climbing,swimming or boxing every day.

Why Is the Native Language Learnt So Well?
How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well?When we compare them with adults
learning a foreign language,we often find this interesting fact.A little child without knowledge or experience
often succeeds in a complete mastery(精通)of the language,A grown-up person with fully developed mental
powers,in most cases,may end up with a faulty and inexact command(掌握).What accounts for this
difference?
Despite other explanations,the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself,partly in the
behavior of thle people around him.In the first place,the time of learning the mother tongue is the most fa-
vorable of all,namely,the first years of life.A child hears it spoken from morning till night and,what is
more important,always in its genuine form,wirth the right pronunciation,right intonation,right use of words
and right structure. He drinks in(吸收)all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-
bubbling( 冒泡的)spring. There is no resistailce: there is perfect assimilation.
Then the child has,as it were,private lessons all the year round,while an adult language-student has
each week a limited number of hours,which he generally shares withothers.The child has another advan-
tage:he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and
facial expiessiotis.Here there is nothing unnatural,such as is often found in language lessons in schools,
when noe talks aboult ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January.And what a child hears is generally
what immediately interests him.Again and again,when his attempts at speech are successful,his desires are
understood and fulfilled.
Finally,though a child's"teachers"may not have been trained in language teaching,their relations
with him are always close and personal.They take great pains to make their lessons easy.
The reason why children learn their mother tongue so well lies solely in their environment of learning.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案如下:
B解析:句意:和学习外语的成人相比,儿童学习母语较容易。关键词是with ease。依据此关键词,可在文中第一段找到相关叙述:A little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language.A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers,in most cases, may end up with a faulty and inexact command.(一个没有知识和阅历的小孩可以完全掌握语言,而大多情况下,一个脑力健全的成人学语言可能会出错和掌握不准确),因此可推知,儿童学习母语比起成年人学习外语,学的要好得多,故此题为“正确”的。
句意:成年人的知识和智力妨碍了他们对外语的准确掌握。关键词mental powers。依据此关键词在第一段的第三句中发现相关叙述:A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers , in most cases , may end up with a faulty and inexact command.(在大多数的情况下,一个脑力健全的成年人学习语言可能会出错和掌握不准确。)而该句的下一句提出了成年人和儿童在学习语言方面不同原因的问题,但原文中并没有提到“造成成年人掌握外语能力较差的原因”,故此题为“未提及”的。
句意:儿童母语学得好的原因只是源于他们的学习环境。本题主要考查对事实细节的判断。根据文章第二段的段首句:“…the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child him-self, partly in the behavior of the people around him.”由句中两个partly引出的两个原因,不难判断出题目中“solely”的绝对说法是不正确的,故此题为“错误”的。
句意:早年大量的听力练习是儿童成功地学习母语的部分原因。关键词the first years of life.依据此关键词在第二段的第二句中发现相关句:In the first place ,the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all , namely , the first years of life. (早年学习母语的时间是最有益的。)接下来的一句说明了儿童期听力练习的方式,故此题为“正确”的。
句意:儿童学习母语有常年上家教课的优势。关键词all the year round。依据此关键词在第三段的第一 句中发现相关句:Then the child has , as it were , private lessons all the year round.(儿童学习母语的优势好像是可以常年上家教课。)比较原句和问题句的结构,发现不同之处在于“as it were”的结构。实际上,as it were的含义是“好像是”。原文说“好像是”,而问题句说“是”,所以判断问题句“不正确”,故此题为“错误”的。
句意:手势和面部表情可能会对儿童掌握母语有帮助。关键词:Gestures and facial cxpressions。依据此关键词在第三段的第二句中发现直接相关句:The child has another advan-tage:he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the right kind of ges-tures and facial expressions.(儿童学习母语的另一个优势是可以接触各种情景的母语,而且母语中还伴随了正确的手势和面部表情。)原句的说法与问题句一致,故此题为“正确”的。
句意:就语言教学而言,教师与学生的亲密关系比学生受到专业的语言培训更重要。本题主要考查对事实细节的判断。根据文章最后一段的内容事实判断,并没有提到“教师与学生的亲密关系和学生受到语言培训的重要性”,故此题为“未提及”的。

答案如下:
C解析:此处考查对固定搭配的掌握情况,只有account能与for搭配,意为“解释”, 其他三个选项的词都是及物动词,不与介词搭配。
分析全句,此处应填一个宾语从句的引导词,从句中缺少宾语,故应填 what,此句意为“去了解他们所感兴趣的东西”,其他三个选项均为关系副词,不能充当从句中的宾语。
此处选even加强语气,“事实上,电脑甚至都没有兴趣”。
computer program是常见搭配,意为“电脑程序”,其他选项与句意不符,故排除。
make sense是固定搭配,意思是“有道理,合理,能被理解”。整句的意思为 “当然人也有目标,但这些目标若被归在电脑身上便不合逻辑了”。
in order to是固定搭配,表示目的,意为“为了……”,故选C。
结合上下文我们得知,此处应填具有“寻找”含义的词,watch没有此含义,首先被排除,C选项后若加上for便符合文意,search有“搜寻,查找”的含义,但一般指深入彻底地调查,只有A选项find在含义和语气上都符合句意。
从下一句便可找到答案为C选项,give rise to意为“引起,导致,使发生”。
选择D意为“找到关于餐馆名字的信息”,其他选项放此处均不合适。
此处需填一个谓语动词,因此要弄清主语“餐馆”与宾语“食物”之间的关系,只有“餐馆供应食物”合乎逻辑,故答案为serve。
上文提到了种种人生理的、智力上的、认知的目标,因为要充饥就需要获取有关餐馆的信息,因而此处要填“获取”,B,C,D项与文意不符。
此空依然承接上文的意思,那些目标都是获取信息的目标,都是学习的目标,答案为B选项。
此处缺一个情态动词,阅读到后半句时便很容易选出答案,此处的might 与后面as a person might相呼应,表示不确定的推测,意为“可能,也许”。
能与way搭配的介词一般只有in,表示“以……方式”,此处的含义为“与一个人可能想要做事的方式相同”。
arise out of是固定搭配,意为“起于……”,即使不知道短语的含义,看到后面又出现一次arise out of,也应可以选出答案。

C解析:in reality意为“实际上,事实上”,这是固定搭配。
此处应填入一个非事实性动词。imagine是非事实性动词。know , realize和be aware都是事实性动词,所以不合适。属于非事实性动词的还有believe , think等。
let跟动词原形,go符合这一原则。
vials是复数,much不合适。另外,本句和上文都没有比较的意思,因此more和most也都不合适。
上一句句末的标点符号表明本句是一个独立的句子。只有and可用于一个独立的句子,其他的选项都不可以。
整个句子说的是美俄“官方”保存的最后的活病毒储备由于不能带来明显的好处而引起大家对这两个国家的不信任。no obvious gain是名词短语。for可跟名词短语,表示原因。because不跟名词短语。since可跟名词短语,但跟表示时间的名词短语。of 可跟名词短语,但常表示“所属”关系。
opening the way for tests on new treatments and vaccines:“为试验新的治疗方法和新的疫苗开辟了道路”。这是句子的下半部分。可以看出,上半部分所描写的model应该是实际上存在的。此处应该用found。它是外延动词,表示model是存在的。looked for和sought是内涵动词。它们引起的名词短语并不一定有外延。因此是不合适的。talked about是“谈论”的意思。用在这里,也是不妥的。
open the way是一种固定的说法,意思是“为某事的发生创造了条件”。类似的说法还有:clear the way , prepare the way等。
keep the virus是“保存病毒”的意思。put the virus是不正确的,后面必须有地点状语。如:You can put the virus in a bottle. destroy the virus和eradicate the virus都是“消灭病毒”的意思,跟后半句话在意思上是矛盾的。
incase是固定的说法,意思是“万一”。整个句子说的是:因此,又有了一个保存病毒的理由——万一这种病卷土重来。
这几个选项意思差不多,但只有deal可跟with搭配。
从紧随其后的句子来看,用simple是正确的。difficult , hard和safe都跟后面的句子在意思上不连贯。
under the auspice。是固定的说法,意思是“赞同”、“支持”。
It doesn't mean that…是一种固定的表达法。也可以说:It doesn't mean to saythat…
本句是个条件句。从句中动词一般用现在时表示“未来”。这就排除了will be和would be。 virus是单数,因此D也不正确。
C解析:in reality意为“实际上,事实上”,这是固定搭配。
此处应填入一个非事实性动词。imagine是非事实性动词。know , realize和be aware都是事实性动词,所以不合适。属于非事实性动词的还有believe , think等。

_________(65)

答案如下:
D解析:本句是递进关系,强调本世纪的后20年,所以选B。 certainly意为“必然地”;apparently意为“明显地”;practically意为“实际上”。
towards表示变化的倾向,意为“朝······方向发展”。
上文提到本世纪的主要变化是女性享有更多与男性同样的权利。因此可以推断本世纪初与现在相比,妇女的权利要较少。所以选B。
上一句说“妇女不能投票,被关在家里”,下一句说“据我们所知,大多数妇女很高兴这样”,这显然是转折关系,所以选C。
由上文推断本句的意思应该是“英国妇女当然比过去享有更多的权利”,所以选B。 lack是“缺少”的意思;occupy是“占据”的意思。
give意为“给予”;deprive意为“剥夺”;deny意为“否认,拒绝”;approve意为“批准,通过”。由上文妇女获得权利可以推断本句的意思是“1919年,妇女被给予投票权”。因此选A。
share是“分享,共享”的意思,本句的意思是离婚时,给予妇女同样份额的财产,即夫妻分享财产。所以选D。
上一句说“1970年,法律规定在离婚时给予妇女同样份额的财产”,下一句说“同年的《同酬法案》给予妇女同工同酬的权利”,两项法律都是给予妇女权利,是并列关系,所以用表示并列关系的连词and。
because of意为“因为,由于”;instead of意为“而不是······”;in spite of意为“不管,虽然”;as a result of意为“作为······的结果”。本句的意思是“虽然有这些改变,女性与男性的地位仍然存在巨大差别”,表示让步关系,所以应选C。
由上文可以推断虽然有法律规定,但是女性与男性的地位仍然存在巨大差别,工资的差别就是其中之一,这是由于许多雇主忽视《同酬法案》,所以选C。
sb.be likely to do sth.表示可能性,意为“某人很可能做某事”,本句的意思是“做同样的工作,女性可能平均只赚男性的一半”。
according to sth.意为“根据某事”;apart from/in addition to sth.意为“除了某事”;according to a survey是“根据调查结果”的意思。
by mistake意为“错误地”;by accident意为“偶然”;in turn意为“依次,轮流”;in fact意为“事实上”。比较选项只能选D,本句的意思是:“根据一份调查,事实上,现在全国只有1/3的工人是女性。”
stem from是“来自,源于”的意思,相当于result from,本句的意思是“这么小的比例部分是由于缺乏幼儿园。”A result in B是“A导致B”的意思。
上一句提到妇女不参加工作是由于缺乏幼儿园,所以此句应为如果有足够的幼儿园。

Mau Piailug,Ocean Navigator
Mau sailed from Hawaii to Tahiti using traditional methods.
In early 1976,Mau Piailug,a fisherman,led an expedition in which he sailed a tradi-tional Polynesian boat across 2,500 miles of ocean from Hawaii to Tahiti.The Polynesian Voyaging Society had organised the expedition.Its purpose was to find out if seafarers(海员) in the distant past could have found their way from one island to the other without naviga-tional instruments,or whether the islands had been populated by accident.At the time,Mau was the only man alive who knew how to navigate just by observing the stars,the wind and the sea.
He had never before sailed to Tahiti,which was a long way to the south.However,he understood how the wind and the sea behave around islands,so he was confident he could find his way.The voyage took him and his crew a month to complete and he did it without a compass or charts.
His grandfather began the task of teaching him how to navigate when he was still a baby.He showed him pools of water on the beach to teach him how the behaviour of the waves and wind changed in different place.Later,Mau used a circle of stones to memorise the positions of the stars.Each stone was laid out in the sand to represent a star.
The voyage proved that Hawaii's first inhabitants came in small boats and navigated by reading the sea and the stars.Mau himself became a keen teacher,passing on his traditional secrets to people of other cultures so that his knowledge would not be lost.He explained the positions of the stars to his students,but he allowed them to write things down because he knew they would never be able to remember everything as he had done.
Mau expected his students to remember the positions of the stars immediately.

答案如下:
B解析:题干意为“玛乌航行的时候,他有独特的航行技术。”关键词是unique navi-gational skills。依据此关键词组,可在文中第一段最后一句找到相关叙述:“At the time, Mau was the only man alive who knew how to navigate just by observing the stars,the wind and the sea.”(在那时,玛乌是在世的人中唯一一个仅仅通过观察星星、风和海洋来远航的人。)由此可知,当时来说,玛乌的航行技术的确是独特的,故此题说法为“正确”的。
题干意为“玛乌很熟悉塔希提岛周围的海洋。”关键词是Tahiti。依据此关键词,可在文中第二段前两句找到相关叙述:“He had never before sailed to Tahiti, which was a long way to the south.However,he understood how the wind and the sea behave around islands, so he was confident he could find his way.”(他从来没有航行到过塔希提岛,从塔希提岛到南方是一段很长的路程。然而他知道岛周围的风和海洋是怎么活动的,所以他自信可以找到路。)由此可知,虽然玛乌没有去过这个岛,但是他很熟悉海洋,故此题说法是“正确”的。
题干意为“玛乌买不起罗盘和图表。”关键词是compass和charts。依据关键词,可在文中第二段最后一句找到相关叙述:“The voyage took him and his crew a month to complete and he did it without a compass or charts.”(这次航行要花费他和船员们一个月的时间,而且他们航行的时候没有罗盘和图表。)由此可知,他们航行确实用不到罗盘和图表,但是文中并没提到玛乌买不起这些工具,故此说法为“未提及”的。
题干意为“玛乌从祖父那里学到了航海技术。”关键词是grandfather。依据此关健词,可在文中第三段第一句找到相关叙述:“His grandfather began the task of teaching him how to navigate when he was still a baby.”(当他还很小的时候,他的祖父就开始教他航海。)故此题说法为“正确”的。
题干意为“玛乌用石头记忆天空中星星的位置。”关键词是stones和stars。 依据关键词,可在文中第三段倒数第二句找到相关叙述:“Later, Mau used a circle of stones to memorise the positions of the stars.”(之后,玛乌用一圈石头来记忆星星的位置。)故此题说法是“正确”的。
题干意为“夏威夷最早的居民能读写。”关键词是first inhabitants of Ha-waii。依据关键词可在文中最后一段第一句找到相关叙述:“The voyage proved that Hawaii's first inhabitants came in small boats and navigated by reading the sea and the stars.”(此次航行证明,夏威夷最早的居民是乘小船来到这里的,并通过观察海洋和星空来航行。)文中的 reading是观察的意思,除此之外并没有提到这些最早的居民会不会读写,故此说法是“未提及”的。
题干意为“玛乌希望自己的学生们能立刻记住星星的位置。”关键词是 students。依据此关键词,可在文中最后一句找到相关叙述:“He explained the positions of the stars to his students,but he allowed them to write things down because he knew they would never be able to remember everything as he had done.”(他向学生们解释星星的位置, 但他允许学生把知识点写下来,因为他知道他们不可能像他一样记住所有东西。)故此题说法为“错误”的。

Creating a World without Smoking
Smoking will be banned in all pubs,clubs and workplaces from next year after historic votes in the Commons last night.Afler last-minute appeals from health campaigners,MPs opted for a blanket prohibition which will startin summer 2007,ending months of argument over whether smokers should be barred in pubs and restaurants only.They voted to ban smoking in all pubs and clubs by 384 to 184,a surprisingly large majority of 200.
Smoking will still be allowed in the home and in places considered to be homes,such as prisons,care homes and hotels.
Smokers lighting up in banned areas will face a fixed penalty notice of £50 and spot fines of £ 200 will be introduced for failing to display no-smoking signs,with the possible penalty,if the issue goes to court,increasing to £1,000.
Carpline Flint,the Public Health Minister,also announced that the fine for failing to stop people smoking in banned areas would be increased to£2,500 more than ten times the£200 originally proposed.
The Bill also allows the Government to increase the age for buying cigarettes.Ministers will consult on raising it from 16 to 18.
The Bill now goes to the Lords but will be through by the summer recess.
Even a plan to allow smoking to continue in private clubs was thrown out as MPs on all sides were given permission to vote with their conscience rather than on a party line.
Patricia Hewitt,the Health Secretary,said the Health Bill would ban smoking in"virtually every enclosed public place and workplace"in England and save thousands of lives a year. Smoke-free workplaces and public places"will become the norm".
She said:"An additional 600,000 people will give up smoking as a result of this law and millions more will be protected from second-hand smoke."
Peter Hollins,director-general of the British Heart Foundation,said:"The vote is a landmark victory for the public health of this country and will save the lives of many people."
There is a possibility for the Government to raise the age for buying cigarettes.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

A:Right

C:Not mentioned
答案如下:
A解析:文章第一段第二句提到“MPs opted for a blanket prohibition which will start in summer 2007...",由此可以得知该信息正确。
文章第一段提到2008年将在所有的工作场所禁烟,而官员工作的地方也属于工作场所,该禁令对他们也不例外,所以该信息错误。
第二段说“Smoking will still be allowed in the home and in places considered to be homes",人们可以在自己家里吸烟,所以,该信息正确。
在文中第五段提到:"The Bill also allows the Government to increase the age for buying cigarettes",很显然,政府可以提高购买香烟的年龄限制。
本题给出的信息文中没有提及。作者虽然提到了禁烟法案以及各种违反禁令的处罚措施,但并没有谈到政府要关闭制烟厂。
本问题同上,政府实行严厉的惩罚措施,但文中没有提到要对烟草业征收更高的税收。
文中最后一段提到:"An additional 600,000 people will give up smoking as a result of this law and millions more will be protected from second-hand smoke.",更多的人在卫生法案的影响下戒烟,但“政府采取必要措施帮助吸烟者戒烟”在文中没有提及。

Medical Journals Medical journals are publications that report medical information to physicians and other health professionals. In the past,these journals were available only in print.With the development of electronic publishing, many medical journals now have web sites on the Internet,and some journals are published only online.A few medical journals,like the Journal of the American Medical Association,are considered general medical journals because they cover many fields of medicine.
Most medical journals are specialty journals that focus on a particular area of medicine. Medical journals publish many types of articles.Research articles report the results of research studies on a range of topics varying from the basic mechanisms of diseases to clinical trials that compare outcomes of different treatments.
Review articles summarize and analyze the information available on a specific topic based on a careful search of the medical literature.Because the results of individual research studies can be affected by many factors,combining results from different studies on the same topic can be helpful in reaching conclusions about the scientific evidence for preventing,diagnosing or treating a particular disease.
Caseconferences and case reports may be published in medical journals to educate physicians about particular illnesses and how to treat them.Editorials in medical journals are short essays that express the views of the authors,often regarding a research or review article published in the same issue.Editorials provide a perspective on how the current article fits with other information on the same topic.
Letters to the editor provide a way for readers of the medical journal to express comments,questions or criticisms about articles published in that journal.
The main readers of medical journals are______.
A:the general public
B:health professionals
C:medical critics
D:news reporters

Operation Migration
If you look up at the sky in the early fall in the northern part of North America,you may see groups of
birds.These birds are flying south to places where they can find food and warmth for the winter. They are
migrating(迁徙).The young birds usually learn to migrate from their parents. They follow their parents
south.In one unusual case,however,the young birds are following something very different.These birds
are young whooping cranes and they are following an airplane!
The whooping crane is the largest bird that is native to North America.These birds almost disappeared
in the 1 800s.By 1941,there were only about 20 cranes alive.In the 1970s,people were worried that these
creatures were in danger of disappearing completely.As a result,the United States identified whooping
cranes as an endangered species that they needed to protect.
Some researchers tired to help.They began to breed whooping cranes in special parks to increase the
number of birds.This plan was successful,There were a lot of new baby birds.As the birds became older,
the researchers wanted to return them to nature.However,there was a problem:these young birds did not
know how to migrate,They needed human help.
In 2001,some people had a creative idea.They formed an organization called Operation Migration.
This group decided to use very light airplanes,instead of birds,to lead the young whooping cranes on their
first trip south.They painted each airplane to look like a whooping crane.Even the pilots wore special clothing
to make them look like cranes.The cranes began to trust the airplanes,and the plan worked.
Today,planes still lead birds across approxlmately 1,200 mniles(1,931 kilometers),from the United
States-Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico.They leave the birds at different sites.If a trip is successful,
the birds can travel on their own in the future.Then,when these birds become parents,they will teach their
young to migrate.The people of Operation Migration think this is the only way to maintain the whlooping
crane population.
Operation Migration works with several other organizations and government institutes.Together,they as-
sist hundreds of cranes each year. However,some experts predict that soon this won't be necessary.Thanks
to Operation Migration and its partners,the crane population will continue to migrate.Hopefully,they won't
need human help any more.
Whooping cranes are native to_________.
A:Mexico
B:South America
C:the Persian Gulf
D:North America

His Own Way to Express Love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary.We didn't do anything romantic;we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future.This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is an unromantic guy : no sweet words or roses.Smart as he is,he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast , I am an outspoken(直言不讳)girl who likes to show her feelings directly .So needless to say,I often feel that he is insensitive.I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day:“If one does not love you in the way you like,it does not mean that he does not love you.”This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night,I got a high fever. He hurried to my dormitory and took me to the hospital.He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks.After arrival,he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手续).When I was put on a drip(点滴),he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender(温柔的)voice,I had never felt so safe and comfortable.Gradually,I fell asleep.When I woke up 15 minutes later , he was still mumbling(咕浓地说)to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up.At that moment,I found love in his eyes.
Another time,I had a bad quarrel with my best friend.Although I knew it was my fault,I refused to admit it.I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake,but this was what everyone should do. The next morning,I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father,understands me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.
The word“sullen”in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by______.
A: “cheerful”
B: “calm”
C: “good”
D: “bad”

Aromatherapy(芳香疗法)
1 Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine which is based on the use of very concentrated"es-sential"oils from the flowers,leaves,bark,branches or roots of plants which are considered to have healing properties.In aromatherapy these powerful oils are mixed with other oils , such as almond(杏仁)oil, or they are diluted(稀释)with water.These solutions(溶液剂)can be rubbed on the skin,sprayed in the air, or applied as a compress(敷药).
2 Many people have aromatherapy massages(按摩),and depending on the treatment a person is having, the aromatherapist will massage the oil into the hands or shoulders.The massage is smooth and flowing,as it is designed to create a sense of relaxation and calm.The sessions are tailored to the individual's health and mood at the time,so every session is unique.
3 Practitioners of aromatherapy believe that the aroma of the"essential"oils directly stimulates the brain or that the oils are absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream,where they can affect the whole body and promote healing.Other claims in support of aromatherapy are that it aids digestion,improves the functioning of respiratory system,reduces muscular aches and pains,and promotes muscle relaxation and tone.It has also been argued that aromatherapy can improve circulation,lower blood pressure,and help combat insomnia(失眠)and other stress-related disorders such as tension headaches , anxiety , and mild depression.
4 However,while aromatherapy may have real effects that promote a sense of well-being,some tradi- tional medicine practitioners remain doubtful about its powers.While research has confirmed that aroma-therapy does have some positive short-term effects on most people,it also suggests that aromatherapy is not an actual science or medicine that should be used to treat illness.Furthermore,not all aromatherapy is considered beneficial to health.There are precautions which should be taken before having aromatherapy because some oils can have negative effects on people with certain medical conditions.The study of aroma-therapy is relatively new and unexplored.More research needs to be conducted to make scientific conclusions about its use and effects.
The sessions of aromatherapy massages are designed to______.
A:have healing effects
B:be used externally
C:be promoted
D:help the disabled
E:be further explored
F:suit different people

答案如下:
D解析:本句的意思是:陌生人的友好或好奇伴我游遍了欧洲、北美、亚洲以及南部非洲。这里是指作者通过搭便车的方式由陌生人带着前往这些地方,因此选take。 make的意思是“使某人······”,无论是意思还是用法都不适合放在这里。travel意为“旅游”,常用于表示某人去什么地方旅游,例如:He has travelled to many places in the country.他已经游览了家乡的许多地方。cross意为“通过,交又”。
on the road意为“在路上”。该句意思是:途中有些让我搭便车的人和我成为朋友,很多人都曾盛情接待过我。
这句话是通过把搭便车旅行和几种其他的旅行方式相互比较,从而说明搭便车旅行的好处有哪些。因此这里应选择when。
根据上下文可知,这里问的是如今hitchhiking的情况如何,而不是books 或者是songs,因此这里应选择it。
hundreds of是固定用法,意思是“几百个”,例如hundreds of StudentS。
sky意为“天空”; space意为“空间”; map意为“地图”; heaven意为“天堂”。该句意思是说伊朗是搭便车旅游者的天堂。
本题为结构衔接题。as在这里引导一个从句。like和for后只能接名词。 since在这里语意不符合。
general feeling意为“普遍的感受,总体的感觉”。big, large,和little都不可以和feeling搭配。
must和should后不可以跟to,只能接动词原形。have to后也不可以接to。 只有need to do sth.的用法,意为“需要做某事”。
according to意为“根据”; owing to和due to都是“因为”的意思;with re-spect to意为“关于”。该句意思是“根据一位给我写电子邮件的波兰妇女······”。
根据下面一句话中“pick up the most hikers",可以推断这里填pick up,意思是“开车接某人”。
根据前一句话可以得知是drivers pick up hikers。
fence意为“篱笆”; barrier意为“障碍”; gap意为“差异”; stone意为“石头”。这里是说打破陌生人之间的障碍。
global warming是固定词组,意思是“全球变暖”。
因为句中说到搭便车会提高教育水平,education和这里的lessons相互对应,意思是通过提供实时的地理、历史、政治和社会学课程的方式,搭便车提高了教育水平。
