2.ESunday is more like Monday than it used to be, Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (不相关的).A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does, It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years – but unless we meet the truant officer (学监) ,we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成) “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight – saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight – saving law- as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.67. By saying” Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that __________.A. work time is equal to rest timeB. many people have a day off on Monday,C. it is hard for people to decide when to restD. the line between work time and rest time is unclear

4.The Building of the PyramidsThe oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids.【46】 There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the "Step" pyramid and the "Bent" pyramid.Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modem buildings.【47】. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last for ever. 【48】. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves.【49】. Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly cleat picture of them.One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build.【50】 You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.A. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.B. It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramid because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.C. The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.D. Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.E. Many people were killed while building the pyramids.F. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet.(46)

    Human Evolution

    Being a man has always been dangerous.There are about 105 males born for every 100 females, but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of maturity,and among 70-year-old there are twice as many women as men. But the great universal of male mortality is being changed.Now,boy babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that,for the first time,there will be an excess of boys in those crucial years when they are searching for a mate. More important,another chance for natural selection has been removed. Fifty years ago,the chance of a baby(particularly a boy baby)surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death.Today it makes almost no difference.Since much of the variation is due to genes,one more agent of evolution has gone.
    There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide:stay alive,but have fewer children.Few people are as fertile as in the past. Except in some religious communities,very few women have 15 children.Nowadays the number of births,like the age of death,has become average.Most of us have roughly the same number of offspring. Again,differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have diminished.India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples.The grand mediocrity of today一everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring means that natural selection has lost 80%of its power in upper-middle一class India compared to the tribes.
    For us,this means that evolution is over;the biological Utopia has arrived.Strangely,it has involved little physical change.No other species fills so many places in nature.But in the past 100,000 years一even the past 100 years一our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. We did not evolve,because machines and society did it for us.Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of evolution:"they look at an organic being as savage looks at a ship,as at something wholly beyond his comprehension."No doubt we will remember a 20th century way of life beyond comprehension for its ugliness. But however amazed our descendants may be at how far from Utopia we were,they will look just like us.

    The author argues that our bodies have stopped evolving because______.
    A:life has been improved by technological advance
    B:the number of female babies has been declining
    C:our species has reached the highest stage of evolution
    D:the difference between wealth and poverty is disappearing

    答案:A
    解析:
    文中第一段提到“做男人从来都充满危险,新生儿男女比例大约是105: 100,但到了成年,这一比例基本持平,而在70岁的老年人中,女性是男性的两倍。但是男性死亡率高这种普遍情况正在改变,现在男婴存活率同女婴的基本一样高”,这说明男人的存活率相对是比较低的。
    使用事例来证明是常见的逻辑思维模式。既然有事例,我们就需要看到它的论点是什么。本文中提到,“还有一种方法确保进化意义上的自杀:存活,但少生孩子”。首先,“现在几乎没有人像过去那样多育。除了在一些宗教社区,基本没有妇女会生巧个孩子”表明了“当今出生的数量同死亡年龄一样变得平均化,我们大多数人的子女数量大致相当”。其次,人与人之间的差异和利用差异进行自然选择的机会再次减少了。再次,“印度证明了这种情况。这个国家给大城市里的少数人提供财富,而给其余的各部落居民造成了贫困。今天这种每个人的生存机会和子女数量都相同的极其显著的平均化意味着与部落相比,自然选择在印度社会中上层人群中,已经失去了80%的效力”是为了证明“人与人之间的差异和利用差异进行自然选择的机会再次减少了”,换言之,“自然选择在穷人和富人之间几乎不起作用”。答案应该是B选项。
    文中提到停止进化是在第三段第一句“对我们来说,这意味着进化已经结束”。第三段中指出,“在过去的10万年―甚至过去的100年中,我们的生活发生了变化,我们的身体却没变。我们没有进化。因为机器和社会替我们办了这一切”。“机器”代表的就是 “技术”,因此我们可以判定A是正确答案。
    文章中在第一段结尾提到“由于大部分差异是由基因引起的,又一个进化的因素消失了”。第二段中说“再一次,人与人之间的差异和利用差异进行自然选择的机会减少了”。第三段提到“但我们的身体却没变。我们没有进化,因为机器和社会替我们办了这一切”。这些都表明作者认为进化机制已不再起作用,认为自然进化机制已不能再左右人口的出生率。在总结全文的第三段时,作者直截了当地指出,进化已经结束。因此可以认为人类的进化是无路可走的。另外三个选项都不全面或者不对题。
    文章的最后一句话是说“不管我们的子孙后代对我们离乌托邦的理想境界还差多远感到多么惊讶,他们的样子会同我们差不了多少”。这一句是和本段开始相呼应,都是谈论进化已经结束,生物学上的乌托邦已形成,并且这一过程几乎丝毫没有造成人的身体上的改变,因此是在谈论人的外貌。只有选项B正确。

    To: Mr Bryant, Manager
    From: J Smith, Trainee
    Date: 12th Sept.1998
    Subject: Daily Newspapers
    After looking into the problem of the staff’s missing newspapers, I find out that there seem to be two main explanations for it.
    Before the arrival of the receptionist, some staff not entitled to the newspapers nevertheless take them from the reception area.
    There are surplus newspapers when staff are absent or away on business trips, so other employees not entitled to them tend to pick them up.
    I think the solution is to ask the deliveryman to place the newspapers in a container, the keys of which are only available to him and the receptionist. For the receptionist, a list of staff entitled to the newspapers should be made and the names should be ticked off daily as and when the papers are collected. When staff entitled to the newspapers are going to be away for some time, the receptionist should be informed so as to cancel their papers.
    It is inevitable that sometimes there are still surplus newspapers, so I would recommend that these be distributed at the discretion of the receptionist. Please let me know if any action needs to be taken.

    问答题
    Passage 1Of Ducks and Duck Eggs  For people who like to keep poultry, ducks offer certain advantages over hens. Ducks are immune to some common diseases found in hens and are less vulnerable to others. Some breeds of duck produce bigger eggs than hens. In addition, ducks lay eggs over a longer season than hens do.  Poultry keepers with gardens have less to worry about if they keep ducks rather than hens because the former are less apt to dig up plants and destroy roots. While both hens and ducks benefit the garden by eating pests, hens are known to damage herb and grass beds. Ducks, on the other hand, will search for insects and snails more carefully. Only very delicate plants are at risk from the broad, webbed feet of ducks.  Like all waterbirds, ducks need access to water, and duck keepers typically provide this by building a pond. Something this large is not absolutely necessary, however, ducks need only to be able to dip their heads in the water to keep their nostrils clean. If a pond is provided though it is important to keep ducklings away from it until they are old enough to withstand the cool temperature of the water-about eight weeks.  When keeping ducks, one has to consider just how many the land will support. Generally the rule is 100 ducks per-half hectare. If more than this proportion is introduced, there is a risk of compacting the soil, which can lead to muddy conditions for long periods as the rain is not easily absorbed into the ground.  While ducks offer many advantages over hens, they must be given greater quantity of food, especially if regular eggs are desired. An adult duck will eat between 170 to 200 grams of food a day. If the ducks have access to grass and a pond, they will be able to find for themselves approximately 70% of their daily dietary, requirements in warmer months but less than half that in colder times. Therefore, it is important that they are fed enough food, such as grain, every day.  Experienced duck keepers raise ducklings every three years or so because it is after this period of time that ducks’ egg-laying powers begin to seriously weaken. If the aim is to hatch duckling, keepers should be aware that not all ducks make good mothers, and that certain breeds of duck appear to be worse than others. The poor mothers abandon their eggs a few days after laying them. A sure way of making sure the rejected eggs hatch is to place them next to chicken eggs under a hen.  The eggs of ducks as food for humans have a mixed reputation. This is because of a number of cases of salmonella food poisoning in Europe in the 1970s. Although it was never conclusively shown that duck eggs were to blame, the egg-eating public stopped buying and many duck egg producers went bankrupt. Indeed, there is a risk of salmonella poisoning when ducks lay their eggs in damp conditions, such as on ground that is constantly wet but the same can be said for the eggs of hens. And commercial duck egg production in France and England, where the out-breaks of salmonella poisoning took place, followed the same standards as those used in the hen egg industry, which experienced no salmonella problems. (Storage of eggs, whether those of hen or duck, can also be a factor in contamination. Studies have found that bacterial growth reaches potentially dangerous levels at storage temperatures of 5℃ or greater.)  The salmonella scare was over by the early 1980s, but, at least in smaller markets like Australia and New Zealand, few producers wished to risk investment in ducks for fear of problems. No large-scale commercial duck egg production exists in these countries. It has thus been left to small producers, and, more commonly, home duck keepers.  Classify the characteristics listed below as belonging to  D         Ducks  H         Hens  B         Both ducks and hens  NI        If there is no information in the reading passage  Write the appropriate letters in boxes 1-8 on your answer sheet.  1. lengthier laying period  2. better mothers  3. less likely to uproot plants  4. dangerous to grass  5. more eggs per week  6. eat more grain  7. beneficial to garden by eliminating pests  8. more vulnerable to illness

    正确答案: 1.D  根据原文第一段的最后一句“In addition, ducks lay eggs over a longer season than hens do”, 可知母鸭的产蛋期比母鸡的长,题目中问的是谁的下蛋时期更长,所以正确答案是D。
    2.H  根据第六段最后两句“The poor mothers abandon their eggs a few days after laying them. A sure way of making sure the rejected eggs hatch is to place them next to chicken eggs under a hen”, 可知母鸡是更好的母亲,题目问的是谁更是好母亲,所以可确定答案为H。
    3.D  根据关键词uproot plants定位到原文第二段的第一句“Poultry keepers with gardens have less to worry about if they keep ducks rather than hens because the former are less apt to dig up plants and destroy roots”, 意思是“家禽饲养者如果饲养的是母鸭而不是母鸡的话,就不必担心母鸭会挖掘花园的植物,毁坏其根部。”由此可知母鸭不大可能将植物连根拔起并毁坏根部,故可确定答案为D。
    4.H  根据第二段第二句“While both hens and ducks benefit the garden by eating pests, hens are known to damage herb and grass beds”,可知母鸡更喜欢破坏草木和草床,即母鸡对草更有威胁,故确定本题答案为H。
    5.NI  本题问的是谁每周下蛋数量更多,但是由于原文没有明确提出鸭和鸡每周的产蛋量,因此无法对比,故可确定答案为NI。
    6.NI  这道题问的是谁食用的稻谷更多。原文中没有就鸡和鸭食用的稻谷数进行对比,因此无法判断谁吃得更多,因此答案为NI。
    7.B  根据第二段中的第二句“While both hens and ducks benefit the garden by eating pests, hens are known to damage herb and grass beds”的前半句可知两者在捕食害虫这方面都对花园有利,因此答案为B。
    8.H  本题是问谁更容易受到疾病的危害。根据第一段的第二句“Ducks are immune to some common diseases found in hens and are less vulnerable to others”,可以清楚地看出母鸭比母鸡更能抵御疾病,因此,答案为H。
