参考答案和解析
第三段中指出“也许我们对那些调查统计的看法一直是本末倒置的”，我们总是相信“if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better.”，文章末句又说“与此相反的论据开始多起来了”，于是可知那些调查统计也许一直是被用来肯定高等教育的，故A项正确。

第2题：
In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: we eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were leaner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as a 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University found the following interesting fact:
The more the man ran, the greater loss of body fat.
The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake.
Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
1、What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?____
A、They are too slim.
B、They work too hard.
C、They are too fat.
D、 They lost too much body fat.
2、Based upon the statistics given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have a "weight problem"?____
A、 30.
B、 50.
C、100.
D、150.
3、Is there scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a "weight problem"?____
A、Yes, there is plenty of evidence.
B、Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.
C、There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.
D、We don't know because the information is not given
4、In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of ____.
A、ate more food and had more physical activities
B、ate less food but had more activities
C、 ate less food and had less physical exercise
D、had more weight problems
5、What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?____
A、Fat people eat less food and are less active.
B、 Fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active.
C、 Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active.
D、 Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake.

Successful Language Learners
1. Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages.They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules or grammar,and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others.They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others,so what makes language learning so much eas- ier for them?Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners,we may dis- cover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.
2. First of all,successful language learners are independent learners.They do not depend on the book or the teacher;they discover their own way to learn the language.Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain,they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves.They are good guess-ers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.When they guess wrong,they guess again. They try to learn from mistakes.
3. Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore,successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language;they look for such a chance.They find people who speak the lan-guage and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake.They will try anything to communicate .They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things;they are willing to make mistakes and try again .When communication is difficult,they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete.It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
4. Finally,successful language learners are learners with a purpose.They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it.It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.
5. What kind of language learner are you?If you are a successful language learner,you have probably been learning independently,actively,and purposefully. On the other hand,if your language learning has been less than successful,you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above.Active language learners seize every opportunity______.
A: to discover sentence patterns and grammatical rules
B: to expand vocabulary
C: to use the target language
D: to encourage unsuccessful language learners to learn independently,actively and purposefully
E: from clues
F: to say strange things答案：C解析：本段首先通过举例方式说明有些人似乎学习语言比别人更快更轻松，引出该篇文章的主题：…a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them．即成功学习语言的方法。
本段主要讲述的是第一个学习语言的方法，就是独立学习的能力，作者通过举例子的方式来说明这一方法，例如这些人不会依赖老师或者课本，而是自己去摸索总结出一定的模式，寻找线索，大胆地不断地进行猜测，从错误中学习。
本段主要讲述的另外一个语言学习的方法，就是积极主动学习的能力，这些人会寻找一切使用语言的机会，找人纠正他们的错误，敢于说一些即使有别扭的句子，愿意接受不准确或不完整的信息，对他们来说学习另一种思维方式比知道单词的意思更加重要。
本段主要讲述的另外一个语言学习的方法，就是有目的性的学习的能力，这些人往往是因为对讲这种语言的人以及语言本身感兴趣才学习的英语，这样他们可以更好地和使用这种语言的当地人交流并向他们学习。
依据是第二段第四句话：They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.
依据是第二段第三句话：Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves.
依据是第三段第二句话：Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language;they look for such a chance.
依据是第二段、第三段、第四段的第一句也就是每一段的主题句。本文的主旨就是介绍这三种重要的英语学习方法：独立、主动、有目的的学语言。 -

You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案：
【范文】
The Importance of Higher Education The contemporary society has seen a trend of discordance in education. Many college students graduate only to find that they earn much less than their bosses who even have never entered colleges. However, higher education is still valuable for students.
Most importantly, higher education is the source of expertise. Every industry in the society is built on the professional knowledge. If all the staff is poor-educated, who can we depend on to make profits? Colleges can equip students with the most useful and systematical theories. Further, the academic environment in college will provide students with a better opportunity to develop healthy bodies and hearts. What they need to do is to read more and think more for their own pursuits. Thus, they can be stronger to confront the extreme thoughts that may destroy their righteous beliefs in the future. Lastly, good friends and teachers from colleges will help students form right outlook on life and values, which will also benefit their future career.
In summary, higher education will set students a higher start in the future career. If you can not see it now, wait and see that how the better are separated from the good.解析： 暂无解析 -

正确答案： C解析：
细节题。由题干关键词可定位到文章第三段。该段主要论述了这一误解所造成的危害，其中第二句明确指出，加强科学教育的呼吁暗示了一种信念，即如果进行了科学的训练，人们对于所有学科的认识会比没有经过这种训练要来得明智。这无疑是教育的错误概念，故C项符合题意。A、D两项在文中均没有提到，可排除。第三段第二句讲的是这种混淆导致的是人们观念的错误而不是科学训练的错误，故选项B错误。因此答案为C项。 -

正确答案：B
答案：B
[试题分析]细节判断题。
[详细解答]在文章第一、二段，作者探讨了离婚增多的原因。他认为，社会的纵容、放任(permissiveness)使人们产生了不切实际的幻想，人们不愿做出婚姻需要夫妻双方所做出的牺牲，只想放纵自己。婚姻需要夫妻双方做出牺牲，需要他们在某些方面的自我约束(self—discipline)，而不能靠冲动行事。可见，作者认为离婚的主要原因是人们缺乏内在的自制(internal restraints)。

第16题：
Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to protnote social change by opening more areas of life to decision.
In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.
Within a society, social changes is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.
Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp difference. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities,because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.
?Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways because__________.A.people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think it necessary to change
B.people there have identical needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty
C.people there are easy to please
D.people there are less disputed答案：A解析：由第一段最后一句“although conditions may not be satisfactory，they are at least customary and undisputed”可知答案为A，此选项是对原文的同义转述。 -

问答题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。
5.cost 本段提到许多人出于cost考虑选择社区学院,并且由第二句话可推断tuition与cost是近义词。tuition学费。解析： 暂无解析 -

本题考查作者的观点态度。综观全文尤其是最后一段首句“college may not be the best，the proper，the only place for every young person after the completion of high school”，表明上大学并不是高中毕业生最佳的、最合适的惟一的出路，且越来越多的证据表明了此观点的正确性，故选项A正确。 -

最后一段作者描述到一些人认为更多的人睡得太多，作者指出“One can see the point of this also”，接着下文提到有些人在睡眠量低于平均水平的情况下也能把做好工作并玩得愉快，如果这样不会对他们身体造成伤害，那么“retard our development by holding back those people”将是遗憾的事情，可见作者认为那些人应该得到支持，因此D项符合文意。 -
