第2题：
将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
There is a clear distinction between one who is supposed to know and another, usually a younger person who is supposed not to know. However, teaching is not necessarily the area of a special group of people, nor should it be looked upon as a technical skill.
Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcing information into a blank mind. If you have a certain skill, you should be able to share it with others. You do not have to get a certificate to convey what you know to them or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves.
All of us, from the very youngest children to the oldest members of our society, should come to realize our own talent and abilities as teachers. We can share what we know, however little it might be, with others who have need of that knowledge or skill.
正确答案：
般认为，有知识的人与没有知识的人――他们通常是较年轻的人――之间的区别非常明显。然而，教学不一定是某个特殊群体的领域，也不应该被看作是一项专业技能。教学不止是将信息硬塞进空白的头脑，而更应是指导和帮助。只要你有某种特定的技能，你就应当能与他人分享。你没必要持有证书才能把你的知识传授给他人，或为他们的自学提供帮助。我们社会中每一个成员，从蹒跚学步的孩童到耄耋之年的老者，都应当意识到自己作为教师的才能。尽管我们可能知之甚少，但仍应能与那些需要我们的人来分享我们的知识和技能。 -

第4题：
Below is a housing guide for students going to London.
Below is a housing guide for students going to London. University accommodation (住所) offices
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organization. The advantage of using your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to houses all their students.
Property papers: Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: http://www.loot.com/. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.
Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www. renting.co.uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.
45. What is the advantage of using Loot?
A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting.
B. It gives you personal information about other co-renters.
C. Their website is designed mainly for students.
D. There are some good bargains.
正确答案：D解析：细节理解题。关于Loot，选择相应的部分，仔细阅读，得知Loot的好处是：The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.即价格方面好商量。故选择D。

第5题：
资料：Imagine you went to a restaurant with your girlfriend, had a burger, paid with a credit card, and left. The next time you go there, the waiter or waitress, armed with your profile data, greets you with, “Hey Joe, how are you？ Mary is over there in the seat you sat last time. Would you like to join her for dinner again？” Then you find out that your burger has been cooked and placed on the table. Forget the fact that you are with another date and are on a diet that doesn’t include burgers.
Sound a little bizarre？ To some, this is the restaurant equivalent of the Internet. The Net’s ability to profile you through your visits to and interactions at websites provides marketers with an enormous amount of data on you——some of which you may not want them to have.
Are you aware that almost every time you access a website you get a “cookie”？ Unfortunately, it’s not the Mrs. Field’s recipe. A cookie on the Internet is a computer code sent by the site to your computer——usually without your knowledge. During the entire period of time that you are at the site, the cookie is collecting information about yourself, including where you visit, how long you stay there, and how frequently you return to certain pages.
While this may sound scary enough, cookies aren’t even the latest in technology. A new system call I-librarian Alexa——named after the legendary third century B.C. library in Alexandria, Egypt——does even more. While cookies track what you are doing at one site. Alexa collects data on all your web activities, such as which site you visit next, how long you stay there, whether you click on advertisements, etc. All this information is available to marketers, who use it to market more effectively to you. Not only do you not get paid for providing the information, you probably don’t even know that you are giving it.
What can be learned about “Alexa”？A.Alexa is named after an ancient hero in Egypt.
B.Alexa is installed in libraries.
C.Alexa can provide all the necessary information about history.
D.Alexa can provide more data to marketers than a cookie.答案：D解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】learned;Alexa
【主题句】第4自然段A new system called I-librarian Alexa—named after the legendary third century B.C.library in Alexandria,Egypt—does even more.While cookies track what you are doing at one site, Alexa collects data on all your web activities, such as which website you visit next,how long you stay there,whether you click advertisements,etc.All this information is available to marketers, who use it to market more effectively to you.一个名为“I-libra.Alexa”的新系统，以埃及亚历山大公元前3世纪的传奇图书馆命名，它做的更多。cookies跟踪你在一个网站上做什么，Alexa收集所有网络活动的数据，比如你接下来访问哪个网站，你在那里停留多久，你是否点击广告等。所有这些信息对营销人员都是可用的，他们用它来更有效地向你推销。

问答题Practice 4 Read the following text(s) and write an essay to 1) summarize the main points of the text(s), 2) make clear your own viewpoint, and 3) justify your stand. In your essay, make full use of the information provided in the text(s). If you use more than three consecutive words from the text(s), use quotation marks (“ ”). You should write 160—200 words on the ANSWER SHEET. The information and computer technologies have boosted the efficiency and convenience of people’s work and study. Their application in school education has provided teachers and students with new approaches to knowledge and information. There is a heated discussion about whether computers will replace teachers. The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Supporters: With the advanced computer and Internet, children can get the learning material whenever they want. Online teaching is becoming more and more popular that students can get planned lessons online. After each class, there is homework for them to do. Both the learning and practice can be done on computers. From computers students can learn something that they are interested in so that they won’t be restricted to the subjects that they are taught at school. Therefore, students will have the opportunity to achieve an all-around development. Opponents: Students need to communicate with teachers and get instructions from them whenever they have troubles in their study. Computers are only cold devices that will affect children’s ability to have face-to-face communication. Education is not only about imparting the knowledge, but also being a useful person. So students need to learn some useful values to be a good person which sometimes cannot be easily learned from computers. Children who use computer will learn to communicate with machines instead of people. There is a risk that they will be a generation of social illiterates.正确答案： 【范文】
The introduction of computers into classroom has greatly changed the traditional way of teaching and learning. Will computers replace teachers? Some supporters hold the view that computers provide different online teaching and students can get all-round development, while the opponents believe that teachers’ teaching is irreplaceable because it can teach children the values of life. In my opinion, it is impossible for computers to replace teachers.
I admit that computers benefit students in many ways, they can do their assignments with the help of appropriate software. They also access the Internet for research and entertainment. But as Spencer said, education has for its object the formation of character.” This is also the essence of the quality-oriented education advocated by our government. We need students who can think creatively, not cut and paste their essays out of software encyclopaedia. We need students who can tell truth from lies, not download unedited trivia from the Internet. We need students who can communicate face-to-face with others, not hide behind emails. These are the very aspects where teachers can provide help and guidance.
So teachers needn’t fear they would be replaced by computers. Instead, they should worry that if they did not adopt new technology, they would become outdated. Faced with the challenge of modern technology, what they should do is to change their attitudes. By learning and using this progressive approach, they can make their teaching more interactive and effective.解析： 暂无解析 -

第17题：
资料：Being financially secure in retirement just doesn't happen magically. It takes lots of planning, time and savings.
Some scary facts about retirement:
More than 50% of persons do not have enough finances for retirement.
25% do not participate in their company's retirement plan.
The average person spends 20 years in retirement.
Here are some tips to help you plan correctly:
1. Talk to a financial professional. Every few years, it's a good idea to schedule a meeting with a financial planner to get a “check-up”. It's just like a doctor's visit, and you should really talk about your present situation and future goals.
2. Save, save, and keep on saving. Make it a habit to save as much as you can.
3. Learn your retirement needs. Retirement can be expensive. Learn from today how much you need to save for your retirement. Talk to a financial planner, or find an online retirement calculator.
4. Take part in your employer's retirement plans. If your company offers one, it is usually the best tool you can use. Talk to a financial professional for all your options.
5. Learn about pension plans. If you have an employer or government pension plan, learn all the details.
6. Keep your retirement savings off-limits. Don't make a withdrawal until you retire. You might incur penalties and it will be a setback for realizing your goals.
7. Get your employer to start one, and it can help you tremendously.
8. Learn about your government's retirement plans. Every country has different plans, some with special tax incentives, so learn what your country offers and plan accordingly.
9. Do your own research. Use the Internet, read the newspapers and magazines, talk to your friends, to find out as much as you can about retirement.
Which of the following is NOT true about retirement?A.More than half of people don’t have enough finances for retirement.
B.quarter of people don’t take part in their company’s retirement plan.
C.No one can be financially secure in retirement.
D.The average person will spend 20 years in retirement.答案：C解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
