1.The United States has more than one hundred twenty medical colleges. The American Association of Medical Colleges says these schools have about seventy thousand students.How hard is it to get into one of the top medical schools, like for example the one at Yale University in Connecticut? Last year almost three thousand seven hundred students hoped to get accepted there. Only one hundred seventy-six -- or less than five percent -- were admitted.People who want to become medical doctors often study large amounts of biology, chemistry and other science. Some students work for a year or two in a medical or research job before they try to get accepted to medical school.Medical students spend their first two years in classroom study. They learn about the body and all of its systems. And they begin studying diseases -- how to recognize and treat them. By the third year, students guided by experienced doctors begin working with patients in hospitals. As the students watch and learn, they think about the kind of medicine they would like to practice as doctors. During the fourth year, students begin applying to hospital programs for the additional training they will need after medical school. Competition for a residency at a top hospital can be fierce.A medical education can be very costly, especially at a private school. One year at a private medical college can cost forty thousand dollars or more. The average at a public medical school is more than fifteen thousand dollars. Most students have to take out loans to pay for medical school. Many finish their education heavily in debt.Doctors are among the highest paid professionals in the United States. Specialists in big cities are generally the highest paid. But there are also doctors who earn considerably less, including those in poor communities.(1)Which of the following ideas is NOT suggested in the passage?A、It is hard to get into one of the top medical schools.B、The United States has more than one hundred twenty medical colleges.C、Medical students need two years' classroom study.D、After graduating from medical schools, the students become doctors.(2)How many years the medical students take to graduate from medical school?A、2B、3C、4D、1(3)In what way many medical students pay for their medical education?A、Have part-time jobs in hospitals.B、Take out loans.C、Their parents pay for it.D、Work hard for the scholarship.(4)What the medical students begin to do in their fourth year of study?A、Looking for a job.B、Working with patients in hospitalsC、Applying to hospital programs for the additional training.D、Learning about the body and all of its systems(5)_______ are generally the highest paid.A、Specialists in big cities.B、Experienced doctors.C、Doctors in poor communitiesD、Doctors who graduated from private medical schools.

    [ B] people called us for permission to use the places two years ago.

    [ C] we received calls from people down the road two years ago.

    [D] people called us for school vacancies two years in advance.


    正确答案：D
    42.D该题为释义题。根据后一句“We have grandparents calling for pregnant daughters．”可知，有些家长会提前向私立学校咨询孩子入学的事情。因此可以推知“We have people calling us for spots two years down the road．”意为“有人提前两年就打电话咨询学校是否会有名额。”，故选D。

    As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder called dyslexia.
    Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not a disease.They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way.One of the world's great thinkers and scientists,Albert Einstein was dyslexic.Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do.He said that he thought in pictures instead.The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic.Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago.Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled.The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different.In most people,the left side of the brain一 the part that controls language is larger than the right side.In persons with dyslexia,the right side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference.However,research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females,and it is found more often in persons who are left handed.No one knows the cause of dyslexia,but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby's body long before it is born.They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teaching help.After they have solved their problems with language,they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.

    Generally speaking,dyslexia is more common in left-handed males than in right-handed females.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案：A
    解析：
    该题提到数字的问题，所以注意文章中含有数字的句子。文章第一段提到："As many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder called dyslexia.”美国有多达20％的儿童患有阅读障碍症。问题句中的one out of five的意思是“每五个人中有一个”，即20％的人。
    问题句说“世界上许多伟大的思想家和科学家都患有阅读障碍症。”文章第二段仅提到爱因斯坦和爱迪生是阅读障碍症患者，并未讲许多科学家和思想家也有这种情况。因此选C。
    利用the first cases作为答案线索词，在第二段找到答案所在句：" Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago.”该句说欧洲和美国在80多年以前首次发现阅读障碍症患者，与问题句The first cases of dyslexia in Europe were discovered less than a century ago吻合。
    注意含有“the left side of the brain/the right side of the brain”的句子，可以在第二段找到答案，相关句说：" In persons with dyslexia , the right side of the brain is bigger.”患阅读障碍症的人的右脑比左脑大。所以该题选B。
    注意文章中含有“the left handed/the right handed”的句子。找到答案相关句：“…research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females,and it is found more often in persons who are left handed.”该句说有研究表明男人比女人更易患阅读障碍症，惯用左手者比惯用右手者更易患阅读障碍症，据此我们可以推断该句子是正确的。
    通读全文，根本就找不到关于“婴儿母亲的不良习惯”的信息。况且文章说阅读障碍的成因尚不清楚，因此选C。
    根据intelligent和creative，我们在文章最后一句话找到答案相关句：" After they have solved their problems with language,they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.”该句说解决了语言方面的问题之后，患有阅读障碍症的人往往表现出超人的智慧或创造力。

They quickly brought down the age at marriagefor both men and women and brought the birth rate to a twentieth century height　　  1．_______after more than a hundred years of a steady decline, producing the” baby boom.”　　2．_______These young adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively largefamilies that went for more than two decades and caused a major but temporary　　    3．_______reversal of longterm demographic patterns.

    正确答案：
    1.height改为high或peak。 height高度,海拔。high高水平,高峰。peak山峰,最高点。
    2.去掉第二个a。 decline在作名词时,表示具体的降低,前面要加a;表示抽象的降低或减少,则不用冠词。
    3.在went后加on,或将went改为lasted。 go只有加on才可表示“延续,持续”之意。

    5.Europe改为European。 根据句意可知这里需要用形容词作定语。
    6.去掉equally或more。 equally和more不能连用。
    7.nevertheless改为also。 这里要表达与前文相似的情况,所以要用表示“也,同样”之意的also。

  • 第21题：

    问答题
    Practice 8　　The United States has long been known as a “melting pot”, because many of its people are descended from settlers who came from all over the world to make their homes in the new land. The first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Attracted by reports of great economic opportunities and religious and political freedom, immigrants from many other countries flocked to the United States in increasing numbers, reaching a peak in the years 1880—1914. Between 1820 and 1980 the United States admitted almost 50 million immigrants.　　Some 1,360,000 American Indians, descendants of North America's first inhabitants, now reside in the United States. Most live in the West, but many are in the south and north central areas. Of the more than 300 separate tribes, the largest is the Navaho in the Southwest.　　Black people were first brought to America from Africa as slaves. Their descendants now make up nearly 12 percent of the population. They once lived mainly in the agricultural South but now are scattered throughout the nation.

    正确答案： 【参考译文】
    美国历来以“民族熔锅”著称,因为许多美国人是移民的后裔,当年这些移民从世界各地来到这块新土地上安家落户。美国历史上首批移民来自英国和荷兰。许多其他国家的人听说在美国经济上有很大的发展机会,还有宗教自由和政治自由,于是便纷纷移居美国,移民人数越来越多,1880年至1914年达到了顶峰。在1820年到1980年间,美国接纳了近5000万移民。
