Read the passage carefully to find the answers for Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Children’s Thinking  One of the most eminent of psychologists, Clark Hull, claimed that the essence of reasoning lies in the putting together of two “behavior segments” never actually performed before, in some novel way, so as to reach a goal.  Two followers of Clark Hull, Howard and Tracey Kendler, devised a test for children that was explicitly based on Clark Hull’s principles. The children were given the task of learning to operate a machine so as to get a toy. In order to succeed they had to go through a two-stage sequence. The children were trained on each stage separately. The stages consisted merely of pressing the correct one of two buttons to get a marble and of inserting the marble into a small hole to release the toy.  The Kendlers found that the children could learn the separate bits readily enough. Given the task of getting a marble by pressing the button they could got the marble; given the task of getting a toy when a marble was handed to them, they could use the marble to get the toy. (All they had to do was put it in a hole.) However, they did not for the most part “integrate”, to use the Kendlers’ terminology. They did not press the button to get the marble and then proceed without further help to use the marble to get the toy. Therefore, the Kendlers concluded that they were incapable of deductive reasoning.  The mystery at first appears to deepen when we learn, from another psychologist, Michael Cole, and his colleagues, that adults in an African culture apparently cannot do the Kendlers’ task either. It lessens, on the other hand, when we learn that a task was devised which was strictly analogous to the Kendlers’ one but much easier for the African males to handle.  Instead of the button-pressing machine, Cole used a locked box and two differently colored match-boxes, one of which contained a key that would open the box. Notice that there are still two behavior segments— “open the right match-box to get the key” and “use the key to open the box”—so the task seems formally to be the same. But psychologically it is quite different. Now the subject is dealing not with a strange machine but with familiar meaningful objects; and it is clear to him what he is meant to do. It then turns out that the difficulty of “integration” is greatly reduced.  Recent work by Simon Hewson is of great interest here for it shows that, for young children, too, the difficulty lies not in the inferential processes which the task demands, but in certain perplexing features of the apparatus and the procedure. When these are changed in ways which do not at all affect the inferential nature of the problem, five-year-old children solve the problem as well as college students did in the Kendlers’ own experiments.  Hewson made two crucial changes. First, he replaced the button-pressing mechanism in the side panels by drawers in these panels which the child could open and shut. This took away the mystery from the first stage of training. Then he helped the child to understand that there was no “magic” about the specific marble which, during the second stage of training, the experimenter handed to him so that he could pop it in the hole and get the reward.  A child understands nothing, after all, about how a marble put into a hole can open a little door. How is he to know that any other marble of similar size will do just as well? Yet he must assume that if he is to solve the problem. Hewson made the functional equivalence of different marbles clear by playing a “swapping game” with the children.  The two modifications together produced a jump in success rates from 30 percent to 90 percent for five-year-olds and from 35 percent to 72.5 percent for four-year-olds. For three-year-olds, for reasons that are still in need of clarification, no improvement— rather a slight drop in performance—resulted from the change.  We may conclude, then, that children experience very real difficulty when faced with the Kendler apparatus; but this difficulty cannot be taken as proof that they are incapable of deductive reasoning.  Questions:1.Howard and Tracey Kendler trained their subjects _______ in the two stages of their experiment.  2.What did the Kendlers conclude?  3.What objects did Cole use to do his experiment?  4.Who used a machine to measure deductive reasoning that replaced button-pressing with drawer   opening?  5.Hewson’s modifications resulted in a higher success rate for _______ children.

    The table shows that the income sources of Chinese students are quite different from those of American students.In China,85%of students'money is from their parents while in America only 40%ofstudents'money is provided by their parents.Chinese students earn only 5%from part-timc jobs and 5%from student loan.However,American students got 20%and 25%of their money from these two sources respectively.In addition,fellowship or scholarship takes up 15%of American students'income while income from this source for Chinese students occupies only 5%.There are probably two reasons contributing to the differences.First,in China,students without sustainable income are still considered dependent on parents.Therefore,it is natural for them to ask their parents for money.By contrast,American students over 18 years have developed more senses of financial independence.Second,since America is more developed than China,it is relatively easier for American students to find part-time jobs.Therefore,a larger proportion of income comes from part-time job in America.I believe in future,more Chinese students will realize the necessity of self-dependence and try to make their own Iiving through part-timejobs and other ways.

    The bar chart shows the general trend of university students whotake parttime jobs at different stages during their college life.Seeing from the chart,more than half of the college students,about 66.77%take a parttime job at their first year.And the proportion increases slightly year by year,til the last year,the proportion reaches the maximal number,surging to 88.24%.There are basically three reasons behind this trend.To begin with,most students are eager to take a parttime job in the purpose of earning some money,which can ease their parents'burden.Besides,they can acquire more experience before officially entering the society.And with more experience,they can easily get a job compared to those who do not have any experience.Finally,they can not only turn what they have learnt into the application,but also learn more which they cannot obtain from their books.In my view,getting a parttime job is a good practice.However,the major task of students is still the study.They should make a balance between their academic life and their working life.

    Read the passage carefully and answer Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  In the United States today, many people want a college education. However, almost half of the people who go to college now do not attend a four-year college. Instead, they go to a community college.  The community college offers a two-year course of study in a wide range of subjects. It prepares some young people to go on to a four-year college. It trains others for jobs in business, government, or industry.  Some people choose a community college because of cost. The tuition for a semester at a community college can be less than half the cost of a semester at a four-year college. Also, since these colleges are located in large communities, their students can save money by living at home.  Community colleges are also useful for people who have jobs and who do not have time for a traditional four-year college. Some of these people take night courses at community colleges. Others complete long-distance courses, in which they stay at home and use video-tapes, audiotapes, and the Internet.  Community colleges also serve high school graduates who only achieved low grades. Many of these students would not be admitted to a four-year college. If they do well, they may go on to a four-year college.  Today, the country’s 1,500 community colleges have more than 10 million students. These colleges are making it possible for more and more people to continue their education.  Questions:  1.What is the passage mainly about?  2.What does theyin paragraph 1 refer to?  3.In which fields does a community college provide job training?  4.Why do people often prefer to go to a community college?  5.What does the word tuitionin paragraph 3 mean?

    正确答案:
    1.(the advantages of)community college 本文主要介绍了与普通高校相比,社区学院的各项优点,如:开设课程广泛、学费低以及适合各类学生进修等。
    2.half of the people who go to college now ”instead”表意思转折,前后共享一个主语。
    3.business, government, or industry 第二段最后一句提到社区学院在商务,政府和工业领域为学生提供职能培训。
    4.low cost 第三段提到许多人出于费用考虑选择社区学院,因为它的学费低于四年制高校的一半,并且因为离家近很多学生可以直接住在家里从而节省住宿费。这是community college区别于其他院校最大的地方。

    Read the passage carefully to find the answers for Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1to 5are based on the following passage.  In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, flexible, and do not make mistakes. As one banker said, “Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day.” And they are honest. Many banks advertise that their transactions are “untouched by human hands” and therefore safe from human temptation (诱惑). Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money. But they also have no conscience (良知), and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal.  Computer criminals don’t use guns. And even if they are caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witness and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it: it simply does what it is told. The head teller at a New York bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in just four years. No one noticed this theft because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error, then replaced the missing money from someone else’s account. This man was caught only because he was a gambler. When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records.  Some employees use the computer’s power to get revenge (报复) on their employers they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer-tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal rather than her professional life. She was given thirty days notice. In those thirty days, she erased all the firm’s computerized records.  Most computer criminals have been minor employees. Now police wonder if this is “the tip of the iceberg”. As one official says, “I have the feeling that there is more crime out there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doing—the ones who know how a computer works.”  Questions:1.What is the passage mainly about?  2.Why did many banks claim the transactions to be safe?  3.How did the bank teller cover up his crime?  4.What must the librarian do thirty days after she received the notice?  5.What is the difference between computer criminals and ordinary criminals?

    正确答案:
    1.Computer crimes. / Computer criminals. 本文主要讲述的是借助计算机实施的犯罪行为。
    2.Because they are untouched by human hands / are handled by computers. 由文章第一段可知,人们普遍认为不经人手的操作(或电脑操作)是非常安全的,因为他们觉得这样可排除由于人抵不住诱惑而犯错。
    3.By claiming a computer error. 由第二段中间部分Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error…可知,出纳员用计算机错误来掩饰他的罪行。
    4.Leave her job. / Quit her work. 第三段提到Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer-tape librarian…She was given thirty days notice.。the librarian被公司开除了,也就意味着她要离开她的工作岗位或停止工作。
    5.the computer criminals don’t use guns. 根据文章第二段第一句话可知,计算机犯罪和一般犯罪的区别在于前者不使用枪,即使他们被抓住了也很难找到证人或证据。

    Read the passage carefully and answer questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.  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 vibration. Other damage results from landslides, tsunamis (large ocean waves) or major fires which are initiated by the quake.  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 magnitude recorded to date is 8.9. Major damage generally occurs from quakes ranging upwards from 6. 0. Exceptions to this are those whose epicenters are located far from inhabited areas.  The actual cause of the quake itself is the rupturing or 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.  In order to minimize the damage and to alleviate some of the suffering resulting from earthquakes, scientists are working on ways to enable accurate prediction. Two of the instruments presently in use to achieve this goal are seismographs and tiltmeters. The former records any shaking of the earth; by means of calculations seismologists can accurately indicate the exact time, location and size of an earthquake. The latter, as the name suggests, is used to record any changes in the tilt of the land.  Questions:  1.Write down one of the two earthquake prone areas.  2.What other disasters may occur after a serious earthquake?  3.What is the unit of measurement of earthquake?  4.What is the highest magnitude in the record?  5.What are the two instruments used today to predict earthquake?

    Directions:  Study the following graphs carefully and write an essay in 160-200 words. Your essay should cover these three points:  (1)effect of the country’s growing human population on its wildlife  (2)possible reason for the effect  (3)your suggestion for wildlife protection Your essay must be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.

    正确答案:
    The above graphs show the relation between population growth and wildlife extinction rate in the U.S. The population of America has been increasing all the time since 1800. The other graph reveals that the number of wildlife species remained almost stable from 1600 to 1700. But it is saddening to see that wildlife extinction rate increases very fast from the year of 1700. We can get a rough conclusion: the increasing population endangers the existence of wildlife.
    Several reasons may contribute to this grievous phenomenon. To begin with, millions of wild animals are hunted for food or other purposes. One notorious example is Japan’s whaling fleet. Whales are hunted for whale-bone as well as for blubber, thus its population decreasing each year. Another reason comes from the pollutions human make. The ecosystem has been disturbed and some animals are losing their habitats.
    To stop the situation from becoming worse, we must take action at once. Related laws and regulations should be passed to protect the environment and wildlife. When people’s consciousness of protecting wildlife is raised, the safety of the wildlife will be guaranteed.

    Read the passage carefully to find the answers for Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.   In the United States also there were great changes, though the causes here were due only in part to the war; they sprang mainly from technical progress, and the development of mass-production, in which the United States henceforth was to lead the world. The cheap automobile, pioneered by Henry Ford, is a good example. In 1915 the United States contained 2.5 million cars; in 1920, 9 million. Only the new mass-production techniques made it possible to build all these cars and only the growing practice of “easy-payments” made it possible to sell them. By 1925 three out of four cars, new and old, were sold in this way. About the same proportion was covered against the weather; ten years earlier, forty-nine cars out of fifty were open ones.  The last fact is important. The car had not only become cheap; it had become a comfortable room on wheels not just a means of transport. First in the United States, then in Britain and other countries, the car began to revolutionize everyday life. People no longer had to live near their work or close to a railway station. So began, in earnest, the problem which is still with us. The town centers, once full of life and sociability, began to wither; evening found them dead and deserted, nothing but bright shop windows and locked doors. The car brought many far-reaching consequences and it was blamed, rightly or wrongly, for the decline in churchgoing and the increase in immorality. More recently, it meant the virtual end of horse drawn transport and a growing threat to the supremacy of the railroad.  Questions:  1.What is the main cause for the great changes in the U.S.?  2.the United States, 20 million cars could be sold in 1925 because of ______?  3.What does “the last fact” refer to in the second paragraph?  4.What is the main idea of this passage?  5.According to the writer, it is doubtful whether the car should be responsible for ______?

    正确答案:
    1.echnical progress and mass-production development. 首段指出美国发生的巨大变化是技术的进步和大规模生产的发展造成的。
    2.growing practice of easy payments 首段倒数第二句提到是便捷的付款方法使得汽车可以在1925年销售量达到两千万。

    Read the passage carefully and answer questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet  Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent.  Thanks to a variety of relatively inexperience communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.  The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.  Questions:  1.What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?  2.What is becoming more and more important to promotion?  3.What does “out of sight and out of mind” (Line 2. Para. 3) probably mean?  4.According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in   employing people today?  5.What is the advantage of employees having foreign language skills?

    正确答案:
    1.Positive 题干表面是问作者对于高科技通讯工具的态度,但我们从全文可以感觉到作者对现代通讯是持正面态度的,因而对于其通讯工具估计也是持肯定态度的。另外,第四段中的”communications devices”与题干中的communications equipment相对应。而它所在的这一段说:由于各种各样的相对来说并不贵重的通讯设备用于商业,连小企业也能进入国际市场了。能进入国际市场自然是好事,所以作者明显是持正面的态度的。
    2.overseas assignment 文章第一句话提到Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks.,可见答案为overseas assignment。
    3.missing opportunities for promotion when abroad 文章第3段中He or she can be sure…an assignment abroad.及If an employee can succeed…more prevalent.就是对no longer fear being out of sight and out of mind的解释。

    In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. For Answers 1 to 5, please read the passage carefully and complete each space in the summary, using a maximum of three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Answers 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.  Around the world, music therapy is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses. Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain, such as childbirth or during cancer treatments, or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or memory loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overcome disabilities.  Classical music is most typically used for therapies due to its complex sounds and patterns. Although rap or pop might be fun to listen to, it’s unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect. Playing a musical instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people, helping relieve stress and anxiety.  Have scientists been able to prove that music can heal diseases? Music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release of endorphins. Endor-plains are the body’s natural painkillers, and when we listen to music, our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of new born babies and even babies still in the mother’s womb. Currently, music therapy is used in a variety of settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, day care centers, and schools.Summary:  There appears to be some evidence that music is helpful  1 some medical conditions. Therefore, doctors and patients are turning to music to treat various  2 and disabilities. Doctors believe that music with  3 and patterns is more effective. This kind of music seems to  4 more activity in the brain. Although it may be fun to listen to rap or pop or dance music, doctors prefer to use  5 to treat patients.

    正确答案:
    1.for treating 由第一句“音乐疗法被用来治疗不同的身体异常状况和疾病”可知音乐可以帮助治愈一些身体的异常状况。be helpful for doing sth.对…有益/有帮助。
    2.medical conditions 由第一段第一句“music therapy is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses“可知关键词为medical conditions和illnesses。第二句列举了medical conditions的例子;第三句列举了illnesses的例子,即disabilities。因此答案为medical conditions。
    3.complex sounds 由第二段首句可知古典音乐在音乐疗法中使用最多的原因是其complex sounds and patterns.
    4.stimulate 文中第一段第二句提到音乐可以用来stimulate brain activity。
    5.classical music 由第二段可知古典音乐比说唱乐或流行音乐更适合用来进行治疗。

    Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.  Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-1980, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time?  The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term.  Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.  Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25-0.5% of GDP. That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies—to which heavy industry has shifted—have become more energy-intensive, and so could be more seriously squeezed.  One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline. The economist’s commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago. In 1973 commodity prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%.  Questions:  1.What is the main reason for the latest rise of oil price?  2.What are the results of the 1970s’ oil shock?  3.It can be inferred from the text that the retail price of petrol will go up dramatically if ________.  4.According to the passage, reduction in oil consumption is due to ________, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries.  5.According to the passage, compared with those in the 1970s, oil-price shocks are ________ now.

    正确答案:
    1.Reduction in supply. / Supply-cuts 依据文章第一段第二句话:“Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December”,可知答案为Reduction in supply或Supply-cuts。
    2.Double-digit inflation and global economic decline 文章第一段第四句话提到“Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline”,其中both previous shocks指前文提到的1973年和1979到1980年间的oil shock,可知答案为Double-digit inflation and global economic decline。
    3.oil taxes rise 文章第三段第三句话提到“In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past”,意为:在欧洲,汽油的零售价中税占到五分之四,因此税的增加会导致汽油价格(成比例地)猛涨,而原油价格的变化带来的影响不会很大。由此可知如果油税上调,汽油零售价格将急剧上涨。因此答案为oil taxes rise。
    4.energy conservation 文章第四段第二句提到“Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption”,由此可知答案为energy conservation。
    5.less shocking 文章最后一段强调这次油价上涨与20世纪70年代的油价上涨不同,它并不是在普遍日用品价格上涨和全球需求过剩的背景下发生的,也就没有70年代那一次那么可怕,因此答案为less shocking。

Is it playing there yet?  Question 3: I might not be able to go to the theater until 7:30. Which movies are playing at around that time?

    正确答案: 1: It’s eight dollars and ninety-five cents for adult tickets. And for kids, it’s five dollars and ninety-five cents.
    或:An adult ticket is eight ninety-five and a ticket for a child is five ninety-five.
    解 析:解答本类题型最重要的是从屏幕显示的文件或日程表中快速找到问题对应的部分从而作答。本题问How much…询问的是价格,所以在日程表下面找到票价作答。记住dollar和cent后面要加复数-s,dollar和cent之间要用and连接。

    Read the passage carefully and answer questions 1 to 5. Answer each of the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.  Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.BOOK REVIEW                                          Mark Wertman’s                                           True Confessions of a Red Mr. Mom  Most Americans agree that the workplace and the home are very different from the way they were thirty years ago. The world of work is no longer a man’s world. Between 1970 and 1995, the percentage of women who worked outside the home went from 50 percent to 76 percent. In the year 2000, of the more than 55 million married couples in the United States, 10.5 million women were making more money than their husbands, and 2 million men were stay-at-home dads.  Author, husband, and father Mark Wertman writes about being a stay-at-home dad in his book True Confessions of a Real Mr. Mom. His story will help other people who are learning how to live with the changing gender roles in our society.  Mark and his wife, Georgine, were a two-income couple, but things changed when their first baby was born. Georgine wanted to continue her work as a lawyer, but someone had to stay at home to take care of the baby. Georgine had the higher paying job, so she became the provider. They had more children. Mark stayed at home to raise the children. In his book he tells many stories about his role in the family.  At first, it was difficult to change roles. The Wertman kids often went to Mark first to talk about their problems. Georgine was jealous of the time the children spent with their father. Mark had some hard times, too. People often asked him, When are you going to get a real job? Even in the 21st century, society respects the role of provider more than the role of child raiser. Mark found out all about this.  Mark and Georgine learned that it is very important to talk about their problems. In the beginning, Mark thought Georgine had the easy job, and Georgine thought that Mark had it easy. Later they talked it over and discovered that both jobs were difficult and rewarding. Georgine and Mark agree that talking things over and making decisions together helps their relationship.  The Wertmans are happy with the results of their decision. Their children are ready for a world where men and women can choose their roles. Wertman’s book is enjoyable and educational, especially for couples who want to switch roles. As Mark Wertman says, We are society. We make the changes one by one. People have to decide on what’s best for them and their families.  Questions:  1.Why is the workplace no longer a man’s world?  2.What is Mark Wertman’s book about?  3.Why is Georgine the provider in the family?  4.How do the Wertmans work out their problems?  5.What does Mark Wertman think about family roles?

    Read the passage carefully and answer questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet  Would you like to orbit the Earth inside the International Space Station? Now you can take a space holiday—for a price. This is due to a recent decision by top space officials of the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan and the European Space Agency.  Last April, American businessman Dennis Tito reportedly paid between twelve-million and twenty-million dollars to spend one week on the International Space Station. NASA had strongly objected to the Russian plan to permit a civilian on the costly research vehicle. After two years of negotiations, space officials have agreed on a process to train private citizens to take trips to the International Space Station.  NASA recently agreed to conditions that will permit Russia to sell trips to the space station. The trips are planned by an American company called Space Adventures Limited of Arlington, Virginia. The company calls itself “the world’s leading space tourism company.” The company has sold a space trip to Mark Shuttleworth, a South African businessman. In April, Mister Shuttleworth will be launched into space from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.  Yet, the average citizen will not be able to travel into space in the near future. Space Adventures Limited sells a training program for space flight that costs two-hundred-thousand dollars. That price does not include the cost of the trip to the International Space Station. That holiday in space costs twenty-million dollars.  Candidates for adventure space travel trips must be in excellent health and must pass difficult health tests. They must receive a lot of training and all successful candidates who wish to travel to the International Space Station must be able to read and speak English.  Questions:  1.How much did American businessman Dennis Tito pay to spend one week on the International Space Station?  2.Why Mark Shuttleworth, a South African businessman, is mentioned in the passage?  3.What was NASA’s original attitude towards the Russian plan to permit a civilian on the International Space Station?  4.How much should one pay for a trip to the International Space Station?  5.According to the last paragraph, what conditions must a candidate of space travel meet?

    正确答案:
    1.between twelve-million and twenty-million dollars 见文章第二段第一句话。
    2.Because he bought a space trip. 在文章第三段提到了一个”the world’s leading space tourism company”,因为这个公司”has sold a space trip to Mark Shuttleworth”并且他”will be launched into space”,所以在文章中说到Mark Shuttleworth。答案就是因为he bought a space trip。
    3.Strongly objective. 文章题目所问及的是美国政府对太空旅行的态度问题,文章第二段后面两句涉及到这个内容,开始NASA “had strongly objected to the Russian plan to permit a civilian on the costly research vehicle.”,两年之后才同意。因此此处应填Strongly objective。
    4.twenty-million dollars. 题目涉及的是太空旅行的价格,文章第四段指出太空训练需要花费”two-hundred-thousand dollars.”,但是这并不包括太空旅行,太空旅行的价格”twenty-million dollars.”由此可知是twenty-million dollars是正确答案。
    5.excellent health, training, English. 最后一段指出到太空旅行的候选人需要具备”in excellent health and must pass difficult health tests.”,”receive a lot of training”和”be able to read and speak English.”这几个方面。根据题意,进行归纳总结,答案应填excellent health, training, English。

    Read the passage carefully and answer Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Preserving the Past  Today, many old buildings are being torn down so new ones can be built. But some older buildings are both beautiful and interesting. They need to be saved.  The city of San Antonio, Texas, was settled by the Spanish in the early 1700s. Later, it was governed by Mexico. If you go to San Antonio, you can see many missions or churches that were built by the Spanish. All were started between 1720 and 1731. You can also find other buildings from early periods in the history of Texas. Some of these buildings are still standing because a group of women worked to save them.  In 1924, the city of San Antonio was going to cement over the San Antonio River and turn it into an underground sewer. A group of women felt that the beauty of San Antonio should be preserved. They formed a club to keep the river from being destroyed.  The women saved the river. Then they worked together to preserve several old buildings that were going to be torn down. In the 1930s, the women saved an old mill and granary. They raised money to buy these buildings by giving tea parties and selling cakes.  More recently, the ladies in San Antonio have worked to save a Spanish convent. They could not afford to buy the whole building, so they paid for only half. Even so, the women are still looking for other old buildings to save. They want people to know about the city’s long and interesting history.  Questions:  1.What is the passage mainly about?  2.What does the word “ones” in Sentence 1 refer to?  3.What can you see if you go to San Antonio?  4.The word in Paragraph 3 that means savedis ________.  5.Why have the women worked to save the river and old buildings?

    正确答案:
    1.Saving interesting old buildings. / Conservation of old towns / cities / San Antonio. 文章主要讲述了圣安东尼奥城市的妇女保护古建筑这一状况。
    2.Buildings. 通读句子可知,old buildings和new ones是并列关系,属于同类事物,因此可知ones指代的是前面的buildings.
    3.Many missions or churches built by the Spanish. 由第二段第三句可得出答案。
    4.Preserved. save和preserve都表示“维护,保存”。
    5.正确hey want people to know about San Antonio’s history. 由文章最后一句可得出答案。
