第1题：
Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?
[A] Radical reforms are essential for the increase of productivity.
[B] New ways of organizing workplaces may help to increase productivity.
[C] The reduction of costs is not a sure way to gain long term profitability.
[D] The consultants are a bunch of good-for-nothings.
正确答案：A
49. [A] 意为：激进的改革对生产率的提高极其重要。
首先要看清楚题目，是说文章未提到的，大家一定不要犯这种低级错误，选了文章提到过的选项。，作者只指出促进生产率革命的措施并未奏效，未达到人们想象的效果，而并末提到应该如何才对。这属于过度引申的干扰项。
B 意为：用新方法改变工作场所可以提高生产率。第三段第二句指出，重新改变工作场所仅是加快一个国家的国民经济综合生产率水平(overall productivity of an economy)的一种措施，促进生产率发展的因素还有许多，如：设备和机器投资、新技术、教育和培训投资等都会带来生产率的提高。
C意为：降低成本并不能保证带来长期利润。根据第五段第三句，在比尔看来，许多公司机械地(in a mechanistic fashion)应用改革措施，降低了成本，但对长期盈利却考虑不够。可见，降低成本和长期盈利并非总是成正比。
D 意为：顾问们是一伙饭桶。不要以为这种骂人句肯定不会出现在原文中，那你就犯了主观主义错误了。文章最后一段指出，在罗森伯格看来，目前负责经济调整的顾问们所做的工作，多数都是垃圾（没有成效），是典型的“于事无补”。 -

Older Volcanic Eruptions
Volcanoes were more destructive in ancient history,not because they were bigger,but because the carbon dioxide they released wiped out life with greater ease.
Paul Wignall from the University of Leeds was investigating the link between volcanic eruptions and mass extinctions.Not all volcanic eruptions killed off large numbers of animals,but all the mass extinctions over the past 300 million years coincided with huge formations of volcanic rock.To his surprise,the older the massive.volcanic eruptions were,the more damage they seemed to do.He calculated the"killing efficiency" for these volcanoes by comparing the proportion of life they killed off with the volume of lava（熔岩）that they produced.He found that size for size,older eruptions were at least 10 times as effective at wiping out life as their more recent rivals.
The Permian（二叠纪）extinction,for example,which happened 250 million years ago,is marked by floods of volcanic rock in Siberia that cover an area roughly the size of western Europe.Those volcanoes are thought to have pumped out about 1 0 gigatonnes（十亿吨）of carbon as carbon dioxide.The global warming that followed wiped out 80 percent of all marine genera（种类）at the time,and it took 5 million years for the planet to recover.Yet 60 million years ago,there was another huge amount of volcanic activity and global warming but no mass extinction.Some animals did disappear but things returned to normal within ten thousands of years."The most recent ones hardly have an effect at all,"Wignall says.He ignored the extinction which wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago,because many scientists believe it was primarily caused by the impact of an asteroid（小行星）.He thinks that older volcanoes had more killing power because more recent life forms were better adapted to dealing with increased levels of CO2.
Vincent Courtillot,director of the Paris Geophysical InstitUte in France,says that Wignall's idea is provoca- tive.But he says it is incredibly hard to do these sorts of calculations.He points out that the killing power of volcanic eruptions depends on how long they lasted.And it is impossible to tell whether the huge blasts lasted for thousands or millions of years.He also adds that it is difficult to estimate how much lava prehistoric volcanoes produced,and that lava volume may not necessarily correspond to carbon dioxide emissions.Which of the following is wrong according to Paragraph 3?
A:Only 80 percent of marine genera survived the global warming caused by the Permian extinction.
B:It took 5 million years for the planet to recover from the Permian extinction.
C:The huge amount of volcanic activity and乡obal warming 60 million years ago did not lead to mass extinction.
D:The cause of dinosaurs'extinction has remained a controversial issue.答案：A解析：由第三段最后一句可知，Wignall认为远古火山之所以更具有杀伤力，是因为近期的生物能更好地适应二氧化碳含量的上升。
根据第二段第四句可知，“杀伤效率”是通过比较火山释放出的熔岩的体积与杀死生命的比例计算得出的。
根据第三段第一句可知，二叠纪物种灭绝发生在两亿五千万年以前。
根据第三段第三句可知，二叠纪后的全球变暖毁灭了80%的海洋生物，因此只有20%的海洋生物在这场劫难中生还，所以A项表述错误。
最后一段表明了Vincent Courtillot的观点，根据最后一段第一句可知，他认为Wignall的观点具有争议性，因此他对Wignall的观点是持否定态度的。provocative挑衅的，煽动性的，激起争端的。 -

Earthquake
1.Every year earthquakes are responsible for a large number of deaths and a vast amount of destruction in various parts of the world.Most of these damaging earthquakes occur either in a narrow belt which surrounds the Pacific Ocean or in a line which extends from Burma to the Alps in Europe. Some of the destruction is directly caused by the quake itself. An example of this is the collapse of buildings as a result of the quake itself. Other damage results from landslides or major fires which are initiated by the quake.
2.There are about a million quakes a year. Fortunately,however,not all of them are destructive.The intensity of an earthquake is measured on the Richter Scale,which goes from 0 upward. The highest scale recorded to date is 8.9.Major damage generally occurs from quakes ranging upwards from 6.0.
3.The actual cause of the quake itself is the breaking of rocks at or below the earth's surface. This is produced by pressure which scientists believe may be due to a number of reasons, two of which are the expansion and contraction of the earth's crust and continental drift.
4.In order to limit the damage and to prevent some of the suffering resulting from earthquakes, scientists are working on ways to enable accurate prediction.Special instruments are used to help people record,for example,shaking of the earth.Scientists are trying to find methods that will enable them to indicate the exact time,location and size of an earthquake.
5.Certain phenomena have been observed which are believed to be signs of imminent earth-quakes.These include strange behaviors of some animals,the changes in the content of mineral water,etc.The magnetic properties of rocks may also display special pattern before major earthquakes happen.Earthquakes can be predicted by observing__________.
A:by the quake itself
B:not be prevented
C:to cause damage of property and loss of lives
D:of a possible earthquake
E:the unusual behaviors of some animals
F: the strange behaviors of human beings答案：E解析：本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段主要讲述的是关于地震的强度，从0开始，历史上记录的地震强度最大为8.9级，6级以上的地震常有较强的破坏性。

最后一段表明了Vincent Courtillot的观点。由本段第一句“…Wignall ' s idea is provocative”可知，他认为Wignall的观点很具争议性，而且Wignall计算火山杀伤效力的想法难以付诸实践，因此他对Wignall的观点是持否定态度的。 -

第13题：
材料：
The fact that the GOODs were damaged raises a prima facie case of negligence which can only be cleared by the carrier by showing what actually occurred. For example，a ship carried grain on MS Great Lakes to a port where it was stored aboard the ship under a special storage contract for 22 days after which it was discovered to be wet．Rough weather during the voyage was alleged but the Court insisted on strict proof of how and when the rough weather caused the wetting．
Therefore，to rebut the presumption of fault when relying upon its own reasonable care，the carrier must further prove that the damage was caused by something other than its own negligence．Once the shipper establishes a prima facie case，under“the policy of the law”the carrier must“explain what took place or suffer the consequences”．The law casts upon the carrier the burden of the loss which it cannot explain or，explaining，bring within the exception case in which he is relieved from liability．
问题：
The best title of this passage is ______．
A.The liabilities on the part of the carrier and shipper
B.Loss of and damage to cargoes
C.The burden of proof on the part of the shipper
D.The burden of proof on the part of the carrier
It is concluded from this passage that MS Great Lakes ______．A.was liable for the wet damage if it could not prove how and when the rough weather caused the wetting
B.was liable for the wet damage even it could prove how and when the rough weather caused the wetting
C.was liable for the wet damage even it could not prove how and when the rough weather caused the wetting
D.was not liable for the wet damage if it could not prove how and when the rough weather caused the wetting
According to this passage，_______．A.If a carrier cannot bring the reason of the loss into the exception case in which he is relieved from liability，he is liable for the loss
B.Even a carrier can bring the reason of the loss into the exception case in which he is relieved from liability，he is still held liable for the loss by the court
C.Should a carrier bring the reason of the loss into the exception case in which he is relieved from liability，he could be held liable for the loss by the court
D.Should a carrier not bring the reason of the loss into the exception case in which he is relieved from liability，he could not be held liable for the loss by the court
The prima facie case of negligence in this passage refers to the one in which ______．A.a presumption of fault was made on the part of the carrier
B.a presumption of fault was made on the part of the shipper
C.a reasonable care was used by the carrier
D.a reasonable care was used by the shipper
