How long did the Knights of Labor last?
A. 60 years.
B. 31 years.

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 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 were 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 ques-
tions.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 from 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 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.All the following are assumptions once made about the iceman EXCEPT__________.
A:he was a Swiss woman's long-lost father
B:he came from Italy
C:he was a soldier in World War I
D:he was born about a thousand years ago答案：B解析：从第一段中“but 1991 had been an especially warm year.”可知，因为天气暖和，冰雪消 融，冰人才露了出来。其他几项所列原因都不是最主要的。
根据第二段的细节描写可以推测他可能是因为头上的伤而死亡的。
根据文章第三段可知，只有B项没有被提及。
本题A、B、C三项都是事实而不是推测。
通过上下文可推测该词的意思是“强盗”。 -

Passage Two
The thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people．The amount of sleep that each person needs varies．In general,each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy．Some people,however,can get by just a few hours of sleep at night．
It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps．But everyone needs some rest to stay alive．Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this．Sleep is,after all,a very basic need．But a man named AI Herpin turned out to be a real exception,for supposedly,he never slept!
A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey．They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept．But they were surprised．Though they watched him every hour of the day,they never saw Herpin sleeping．He did not even own a bed．He never needed one．
The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen news-papers．His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia．Herpin offered the only clue to his condition．He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days be-fore he had been born．Herpin died at the age of 94,never having slept a wink．
The most likely reason on Herpion's insomnia was______A.his mother's injury before he was born
B.that he never got tired
C.his magnificent physical condition
D.that he got enough rest rocking答案：A解析：暂无解析 -

正确答案： D解析：
细节题。“KEXP did not release numbers”出现在第四段倒数第二句，之前的内容提到KEXP邀请了14个来自西雅图的未签约的或小型的乐队来为播客创作歌曲，并且请了一位律师来起草了与这些乐队的一份简单合约。由此可以推断本句所描述的KEXP没有透露具体数字应该指的是支付给各乐队的报酬。故选D。 -

Passage Four
Archimedes was a famous Greek mathematician and scientist. He was born around 287 BC and he died in the year 212 BC.
Archimedes is most well-known for one specific idea that he came up with. "Archimedes's Principle" states that a solid object which is immersed in a liquid is pushed up by a force which is equal to the weight of the water that the object moves. For example, if you put a piece of wood and a piece of gold the same size in water, only the wood will float. Both the wood and gold move the same amount of water, but the wood weighs less than this water, while the gold weighs more.
It is believed that Archimedes discovered this principle when the king of Syracuse asked him to solve a problem. The king wanted to know if his crown was pure gold or a mixture of gold and silver. The king, of course, did not melt his crown to find out. The idea came to Archimedes as he lowered himself into his bath. He noticed how the water spilled out of the tub. He decided to use the same idea for the crown. He knew that a gold crown immersed in water would weigh more than one made of silver. The experiment was done and the goldsmith was proved guilty of trying to cheat the king.
48. A good title for the selection is______.
A. Archimedes
B. Archimedes's Principle
C. A Gold and Silver Crown
D. The King of Syracuse
正确答案：B

A:raise
B:goup
C:exceed
D:grow答案：A解析：本句意思是：体内的热量可以使人的心脏跳动，所以选beating。 tick发出滴答声；激怒； run奔跑；kick踢。
本句意思：体内的热量可以使身体的器官正常运转。properly和appropriately都有“合 适的，适当的”之意，但properly可以表达“正常的，按照一定的规律”的意思。approximately近 似地，大约，大概，近乎effectively有效地。
本句意思：一个人增加了体重是因为他或她每天摄入的卡路里多于身体所需要的。 gain weight的意思是“体重增加”,put on weight才是“增加体重”的意思，故选C。
本句意思：唯一的减肥办法就是减少每天的卡路里的摄入量。reduce意思是“减少，降 低”，符合句意。cut off切割，剪断；take down记录，记下；remove移走，去除。
本句要表达节食的基本原则是上文所述的“减少每天卡路里的消耗量”。way和method 是“方式，方法”的意思；kind作为名词是“类别”的意思，不符合题意。答案为principle“原 则”。

本句意思：运动图表可以向你展示不同 _______的运动所要燃烧的热量。forms意思 是“形式，种类”，符合句意。ways方式，方法；factors因素；functions功能，职责。
本句意思：每天燃烧200或者500卡路里会是不同的。make符合句意，表示“导致不 同”。而have , do和give都无法与下文difference搭配构成“产生不同”之意，只有make符合 句意。
本句意思：你可以选择爬楼梯而不是乘电梯。climb stairs意思是“爬楼梯”，符合句意。 walk stairs走上/下楼梯；run stairs跑上/下楼梯。
本句意思：找个一起锻炼的 ________。partner意思是“伙伴，同伴”，符合句意。 colleague同事，同行；associate合作者；friend朋友。
本句承接上句提到的firm-fitting，要表达“紧身衣可以像一个提醒者一样提醒你要尽力 达到的目标”。tight意思是“紧身的，紧贴的”，符合句意。loose宽松的，不受约束的；casual随 便的，非正式的；formal正式的。 -

第一篇
From Ponzi to Madoff
The year was 1920.The country was the United States of America. The man's name was Charles Ponzi.
Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account.Instead,they should give it to him to save
for them.Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank.For example,a savings account might pay you$5
a year for every $100 you deposit.Ponzi,however,would pay you $40 a year for every $ 100 you gave
him to hold.Many people thought this was a good plan.They began to give their money to Ponzi.
How could Ponzi make so much money for people?This is what he did with the money people gave him:
He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money.However,he also kept a lot of the
money for himself. Soon he had $ 250 million.This was a kind of theft,and it was against the law. The
people who gave him their money didn't think anything was wrong. Ponzi paid them every month,just like a
bank.Ponzi continued this way of working for two years.Then one day,he didn'thave enough money to pay
all the people.They discovered his crime,and he went to prison for fraud.
Ninety years later,people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff.
People said he gave good advice about money.They said when they gave him their money,he paid them a lot
more than the bank.Madoff helped hospitals,schools,and individuals earn money.Over a period of 40
years,people gave him$170 billion.However,no one investigated what he did with the money.The people
who gave Madoff their money also didn't think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.
One day,Madoff didn't have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That's when people
discovered how Madoff worked:He was taking money from some people to pay other people,just the way
Charles Fonzi did.However,this time,instead of losing millions of dollars,people lost billions.
Madoff was accused of fraud,and the United States government officials arrested him.He didn't have to
go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009,a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison.Bernard
Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi'5.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story is
clear:When something seems too good to be true,it probably is!How long did Madoff's tricks last?
A:Forty years.
B:Four years.
C:Nine years.
D:Ninety years.答案：A解析：从文章第一段倒数第三句话“Ponzi, however, would pay you $40 a year for every$100 you gave him to hold.”可知答案为C。
从文章第二段第二句话“He used some of that money to pay other people”可知答案为B。
从文章第二段第三句话“he also kept a lot of the money for himself”和第五句话“This was a kind of theft, and it was against the law.”可知答案为C。
从文章第三段第五句话“Over a period of 40 years”可知答案为A。
从文章第五段第二句话“He didn' t have to go on trial because he said he was guilty.”可 知答案为C。 -
