第1题：
A survey has shown that people have stopped believing both the media and politicians. A similar survey carried out 5 years ago showed that 50% of people thought that what politicians said was usually not true, and that 35% of people thought that what they saw on the television or read in newspapers was not true. Now both those figures have increased sharply, to 80% of people not believing politicians and 70% not believing the television or newspapers. Experts think that these figures are not going to come down in the near future.
Stories about politicians and journalists taking money from businessmen have caused the public to stop trusting them. Also politicians keep making promises that they do not keep. Mr Smith of York said, ‘When the politicians make new laws, they only help their friends, not people like me’. Mrs Marley of Leeds said, ‘The newspapers and television are not interested in what is true; they are only interested in money for advertising’.
It has got worse recently as more people can get news from the Internet and learn if the journalists and politicians are telling the truth or not. What can our politicians and journalists do? The only answer is to be more honest.

A.increased

第13题：
Most Americans find the idea of arranged marriages difficult to understand or accept.They believe that two people should marry for love, after a period of dating or courtship.During that period, the prospective marriage partners are supposed to learn enough about each other to decide whether or not they will be able to build a successful marriage.Today in America, it is common for people to live together as a way of preparing for marriage.The idea of an arranged marriage seems very old-fashioned indeed.But aren't all marriages arranged in one way or another? In the United States marriages are seldom formally arranged, but quite a lot of informal arranging goes on before two people become husband and wife.People who get married are introduced to each other by friends.These friends have already decided that the two people are right for each other and arrange for them to meet.In the United States this kind of arrangement is very common.Because friends have such great influence, their approval of a dating partner is very important.Families also exert open and subtle pressures on their children to influence their choices of marriage partners.Parents often arrange dates for their own children.One parent often tells a friend about her beautiful daughter or handsome son.Also, parents can meet the perfect marriage prospect for their son or daughter through business relationships.Since parents often assist their children financially, they feel that they have the right to help the bride and groom select where they will live, what type of furniture they will purchase, and what their life-style. will be like.

第16题：
根据下列内容，回答211-215题。
A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy．Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house，so they have to borrow money from a bank．Borrowing moneyfrom a bank to buy a house is called“take a mortgage”．The bank usually lends money or gives a me．gage for twenty—five years．Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as$50，000．In other words，they will have a$50，000 mortgage．
How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like．you go to a bank．The bank will research you financial history and decide if they think you are a good risk．They will want to know what kind of job you have，what kind of salary you make and how long you have had the job．
They will a]so want to know how much money you have．In addition．the banks will require a down payment．Depending Oil which state you live in，the bank may require as much as 30%of the price of the house as a down payment．The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.Many people are never able to buy a house because they can not save enough money for the
down payment．
What does a house mean in the United States．? __________A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize
B.It is so expensive that many people can not really buy them
C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy
D.It doesn’t belong to people if they can not borrow morley from the bank答案：C解析：从第一句“A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy”可知，房子是人们所要购置的最重要的财产。故C项正确。A、B项都提到买房子的不可能性，与文章中的抵押贷款从而购房相悖。D项过于绝对化，并不是所有的人都必须通过银行贷款才买得起房子。 -

The Dangers of Secondhand Smoke
Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health.Scientific research shows that it
causes many kinds of diseases.In fact,many people who smoke get lung cancer. However,Edward Gilson
has lung cancer,and he has never smoked cigarettes.He lives with his wife Evelyn,who has smoked about
a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage.________(46)
No one knows for sure why Mr. Gilson has lung cancer. Nevertheless,doctors believe that secondhand
smoke may cause lung cancer in people who do not smoke because nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke
from other people's cigarettes.________(47)The US Environmental Protection Agency reports that about
53,000 people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke.
The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals.In the past,
scientists did not think that these chemicals could harm a nonsmoker's health._________(48)They
discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic chemicals in their bodies.As a matter
of fact,almost all of us breathe tobacco smoke at times,whether we realize it or not. For example,we can
not avoid secondhand smoke in restaurants,hotels and other public places.Even though many public places
have nonsmoking areas,smoke flows in from the areas where smoking is permitted.
It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke._________(49)Research shows that chil-
dren who are exposed to secondhand smoke are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one
smokes and that the children of smokers are more than twice as likely to develop lung cancer when they are
adults as are children of nonsmokers.The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where both
parents smoke.
People are becoming very aware of the dangers of secondhand smoke._________（50)__________（50）
A:Recently,though,scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of nonsmokers.
B:The Gilsons have been married for 35 years.
C:This smoke is called secondhand smoke.
D:However,secondhand smoke is dangerous to all people,old or young.
E:As a result,they have passed laws which prohibit people from smoking in many public places.
F: In the United States,nine million children under the age of five live in homes with at least one smoker.答案：E解析：前一句主要讲的是，Gilson先生与妻子Evelyn生活在一起，而Evelyn自他们结婚以来 一直是每天差不多抽一包烟。接下来显然应选表示他们结婚年限的句子。再者，只有B项提 到了Gilsons。
前一句提到，不吸烟者时常吸人吸烟者吸烟时呼出的烟，后面应跟这种烟的定义，故选C。
前一句讲的是过去科学家们对二手烟的看法，接下来的句子应表示他们改变了看法， 因为后面的句子表明他们所持的观点已与过去截然不同。
前一句提到儿童与二手烟，接下来的句子自然仍然与儿童有关。
前一句讲的是人们逐渐意识到二手烟的危害，因此接下来的句子应表示人们采取措 施，禁止在公共场所吸烟。第6部分：完形填空 -

问答题With computers, people can now shop, bank, work and communicate from the home. The danger is that people could become isolated from each other and lose social skills which help them to get along with others. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Write a composition of about 400 words to discuss this topic.正确答案：
In this computer-oriented era, people can do practically everything while still at home. They can do their shopping online, pay bills online, chat online and even work online. In the light of this phenomenon, many fear that this way of tackling things might lead to social isolation, and further to the loss of men's ability to co-exist with one another in society. Personally, however, I don't agree with this view, and it is my firm belief that not only will the Internet bring the world closer together, it will enable men to co-exist better—in the cyberspace, a worldwide community.
First, unsurprisingly, computers and modems have transformed the world into a global village. Messages are sent instantly around the world via the Internet; a bargain is made between a gentleman in Russia and a lady in Argentina; and students studying abroad send voice mails to their loved ones at home, again by using the computer. Indeed, in this fast-paced world, it is impossible to conduct every social contact in a face-to-face manner. Therefore, it is only too natural that efficient online communication is partly taking the place of the time-consuming personal encounter. And why not? This online way of life has helped people on this planet to communicate better, and the fear that people could become isolated from each other in the virtual world is groundless.
At the same time, even if the Internet ensures better social communication, actual social contact is still necessary: Not all business can be handled online, and perfect good will can not be achieved while the parties concerned are far apart. As a matter of fact, the Internet has made people realize the need for contact in actual social settings. Furthermore, communication in the cyberspace and that in the actual world can be complementary to each other-- each shining more brilliantly in the other's company. Sometimes it is fast and efficient to communicate online, while at other times people find it better to communicate in the actual world. Given this, people's ability to co-exist with one another has actually been enhanced, I would say, in this IT era.
In conclusion, the computer and the Internet have brought human relations closer than ever before. To better adapt to this high-tech world, one should master the basic skills of the computer, for one' own sake as well as for the sake of a better and happier co-existence with others.解析：

问答题◆Topic 3: Will petty criminals get light punishment? Questions for Reference: 1. A new prosecution guideline was recently released: people convicted of petty crimes may get light punishment if they are minors, the elderly people, and people who have slightly breached the law because of poverty. What do you think of this new law? 2. This new law is said to be a humane practice and it will help them put their lives back in order and better serve their families. Do you think it can achieve its end? 3. Some people think that if petty crimes are not punished in a timely way, more serious consequences will follow. What do you think of this argument?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is…My registration number is…My topic is: Will petty criminals get light punishment?
A new prosecution guideline was recently released. It says that if the petty criminals are minors, old or very poor, they may get light punishment. The public hold different attitudes towards this guideline.
Some people think that the regulation violates the principle that “everyone is equal before the law”. It also breaches the legal principle that citizens’ property is inviolable. But more people, me included, think that the new guideline represents the combination of leniency and severity, and it helps to promote social harmony. Although China is now richer than before, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. Therefore, social conflicts may arise due to the widening of such gaps and there is the possibility for those who lack basic social security to violate laws for survival. As a way to tackle these problems, the judicial system surely needs to do something for the disadvantaged group. The stipulation that people who have committed a small crime because of poverty will be exempted from prosecution is actually a kind of protection to the helpless from a legal perspective.
Furthermore, we all know that the objective of the judicial system is to prevent crimes rather than to punish wrongdoers. If one is severely punished because he steals bread for survival, the punishment may damage his whole life and lead him to commit more serious crimes. Severity does reflect justice and objectivity, but sometimes leniency can be more effective in saving the soul of an individual, because it will affect the hearts and minds of the petty criminals. It reflects tolerance and humanity and may play a more positive role in helping criminals make a fresh start.
In a word, if the law can show both leniency and severity at the same time, it will be the most解析： 暂无解析 -
