第1题：
Passage Two
When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else is not so clear. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become near sighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant (远处的) things clearly'.
People who are nearsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out
of the other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background (背景) and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
40. We should take good care of our eyes ______.
A. only when we cannot see perfectly
B. only when we can see well
C. even if we can see well
D. only when we realize how important our eyes are
正确答案：C40．答案为C 此考题为推理题。根据作者在第1段第2句所表达的，等到我们两眼视力下降了我们才认识到眼睛的重要性，我们就可断定C正确。

A) we should pay a debt for, our feeling
B) we have to be hurt when We feel something
C) our pain is worth feeling
D) when we feel pain, we are suffering it

Pain
All of us have felt pain.We have cut ourselves.We have been burned.Or we have had headaches. Some of us suffer pain rarely.______(46)
Pain can take complete control of our body and mind,making it impossible to move and even to think. Yet we need pain.Without it,we would not know if we have hurt ourselves.It is our body's warning system.______(47) Pain is the most common reason we go to a doctor.It is the most common reason we take medicines.
Until recently,however,most doctors knew of only a few drugs that stopped some pains.______(48)But new knowledge about the process of pain is helping them to control pain better.
Scientists have learned that the sense of pain is made up of both chemical and electrical signals.______(49)Scientists also have learned that the nervous system sends two different kinds of pain messages to the brain:one very fast,the other slow.The first message is the warning signal.It moves at a speed of 30 meters a second.In less than a second,the brain understands that part of the body is hurt and
how badly it is injured.______(50)It tells us not to use the injured part until it heals.______(48)
A:And others have painful attacks all the time.
B:These signals travel from nerve cells in the injured area , up the spinal cord（脊髓）to the brain , and back down again.
C:It tells us that we are injured and should do something about it.
D:They knew little about the process of pain itself.
E:The other message moves at a g peed of only one meter a second.
F:And they send the second,slower message of pain to the brain.答案：D解析：文章第一段提到，我们都曾感受过疼痛。从空格前一句的内容，即“有些人很少遭受疼痛之苦”，可以推断出空格处句子的内容应当与这一句的内容相反，即“另外一些人却总是遭受疼痛的折磨”。
空格前的句子讲到，疼痛是我们身体的警报系统。因此接下来的句子应该说明这样说的原因。
空格后一句讲到，然而，有关疼痛过程的新知识使医生得以更好地控制疼痛。由此可见，空格处句子的内容应与疼痛过程有关，只有D项提到了“process"，即医生对疼痛过程了解得很少。由此可见，D项正确。
空格前一句中的“chemical and electrical signals”等词语是对空格处句子的提示。
文章第四段第二句提到“two different kinds of pain messages"，紧接着又用了“The first message"，显然，空格处的句子应以“The other message”开始。 -
第5题：
资料：When we see well，we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes，Everything else seems blurry（=unclear）.Many people who do a lot of work，such as writing，reading and sewing become near-sighted.
People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away，but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading，they must get glasses，too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism. This，too，can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now，however，it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself，look at an object out of one eye；Then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
We should take good care of our eyes______.A.even if we can see well
B.only when we cannot see perfectly
C.only when we realize how important our eyes are
D.only when we can see well答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】take good care of；our eyes
【主题句】第1自然段When we see well，we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are. 当我们看东西很清楚的时候，我们不经常想到我们的眼睛。只有当我们无法完美地看到时，我们才意识到我们的眼睛多么重要。
【解析】本题的问题是“我们应该好好保护我们的眼睛________”A选项“即使我们能看得很清楚”；B选项“当我们无法完美地看到时”；C选项“只有当我们意识到我们的眼睛有多重要时”；D选项“只有在我们能够看得出来的时候”。根据主题句分析可知，我们无论何时都要保护好眼睛，不要在看不清的时候才意识到严重性，故A选项符合题意。 -

Yet birds travel over mountains,forests,lakes and even across the oceans,and do not stray from?the path.They find their way back in the spring to the same orchard（果园）and the very trees where?they nested the summer before.
It is wonderful how quickly birds travel such long distances from their summer homes to their?winter ones.Some birds have been known to fly hundreds of miles in a day.But others travel much?more slowly.
Why do birds undertake these long journeys twice a year?Perhaps cold weather and lack of?food drive them from us in the autumn,but we cannot tell why they leave the sunny south to come?back to us in the spring.We know only that many of them like to make their nests and rear their?young in the north.
We are sorry to see them go,but we know that when winter is over they will come back to us.

第11题：
问答题Practice 11 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. It is easy to make judgments about people and their actions when we do not know anything about their circumstances or what motivated them to take those actions. But we should look beyond a person’s actions. When people do things that we consider outrageous, inconsiderate, or harmful, we should try to understand why they acted as they did. Assignment: Is it important to try to understand people’s motivations before judging their actions? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.正确答案： 【参考范文】
Why do people do the things they do? Sometimes it’s not that difficult to understand a person’s motivation; A father may choose to work a second job, which may take him away from his family for long periods of time. He doesn’t want to be an absent father, but he believes that his actions will eventually benefit his family. He is motivated by his love for his wife and children. A mother may choose to forego buying herself new clothes or jewelry so that she can be sure her children have enough to eat, nice clothes, and toys. Her motivation is also her love of her family. But when it comes to people whose motivations are a mystery to us, it is always important to try and decipher their feelings so as to help them (or keep them from hurting anyone else).
What motivates certain people to kill? If we can answer that question, we may be able to identify such inclinations in others and so prevent them from acting out their anger. For surely it is anger that frequently leads to violence. A political assassin, for example, is typically infuriated by the way his country is being run by the current leaders. If there had been some way to know how outraged Lee Harvey Oswald was, or SirhanSirhan, or James Earl Ray, there might have been some way to prevent the deaths of John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr. If only someone had been able to gain some insight into the workings of Timothy McVeigh’s maddened mind, the tragedy of Oklahoma City in 1995 might have been averted.
In other cases, it is not anger, necessarily, but more likely despair that motivates people to commit desperate acts. In 1995, Susan Smith was convicted of the unspeakable act of drowning her two young sons by rolling her car into a lake with them strapped inside. Later, authorities found out that she herself had had a terrible childhood (she was regularly molested by her stepfather) and twice had tried to commit suicide. If anyone could have understood this tormented woman’s mentality, those two little boys might have been saved.
It is easy to condemn a person for committing a despicable act. It is much harder to discover what their motivation was for acting in such a tragic way, but it is worth the effort.解析： 暂无解析 -

第14题：
A moment's drilling by the dentist may make us nervous and upset. Many of us cannot stand pain.
To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the "needle"— a shot of novocaine (奴佛卡因) -that deadens the nerves around the tooth.
Now it' s true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves—and our brain, which is a bundle of nerves— we wouldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture is based on the human body being open to pain.
But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir(行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain; This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.
The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little, it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed,' and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we' can handle the pain without falling apart. After all; although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.
26. The passage is mainly about______.
A) how to stiffer pain
B) how to avoid pain
C) how to handle pain
D) how to stop pain
正确答案：C
答案：C
[试题分析]文章主旨题。
[详细解答]文章从以牙医用奴佛卡因来帮助病人减轻疼痛来开头，接下来又用印度行僧在胳膊上插上针来镇痛的例子说了人类对付疼痛的历史，最后仍然是有关对付疼痛的，指出人感觉疼痛的程度与态度有关。可见，全篇的内容都与人类对付疼痛有关，正确答案应为C。

第16题：
It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure.People who do so probably live so cautiously that they go nowhere.Put simply,they’re not real living at all.But,the wonderful thing about failure is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.We can choose to see failure as"the end of the world,"or as proof of just how inadequate we are.Or,we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is.Every time we fail at something,we can choose to look for the lesson we're meant to learn.These lessons are very important;they're how we grow,and how we keep from making that same mistake again.Failures stop us only if we let them.Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise.For instance,failure can help you discover how strong a person you are.Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends,or help you find unexpected motivation to succeed.答案：解析：人的一生几乎不可能不经历某种失败。但是，失败的妙处就在于，完全由我们来决定如何看待它。我们可以选择将失败看作是“世界末日”。或者像以往一样，把它看作令人难以置信的学习经历。每当我们在某件事上失败时，我们会选择寻找应学习的教训。这些教训非常重要；他们教会我们如何成长，如何避免再次犯相同的错误。如果失败阻止我们前进，那么唯一的条件就是我们允许它的发生。失败还可以教会我们认识自己，那是我们在别处永远无法学习到的。例如，失败可以帮助你发现自己的能力。失败可以帮助你发现最真实的朋友，或者帮助你找到预料之外的成功动力。 -

问答题Practice 10 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. We don’t really learn anything properly until there is a problem, until we make a mistake, until something fails to go as we had hoped. When everything is working well, with no problems or failures, what incentive do we have to try something new? We are only motivated to learn when we experience difficulties. Adapted from Alain de Botton, How Proust Can Change Your Life: Not a Novel Assignment: Does true learning only occur when we experience difficulties? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.正确答案： 【参考范文】
On January 15, 2009, Captain Chesley (“Sully”) Sullenberger was piloting a US Airways jet from New York City to Charlotte, North Carolina. A few moments after takeoff, the jet ran into a flock of birds, which knocked out power to both engines. Sully knew he could not make it back to the airport, so he decided to land the plane in the Hudson River. Miraculously, the plane landed intact and stayed afloat long enough to get every single passenger and crew member off safely. Sully is now an internationally known speaker on the subject of airline safety, using the lessons he learned from this most difficult situation to prevent future disasters. As Friedrich Nietzsche so aptly put it, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”
Indeed, the lessons learned from overcoming difficulties can last a lifetime. In 1886, Helen Keller, who had become deaf and blind after a childhood illness, learned how to communicate with others through the use of sign language (painstakingly learned from her “Teacher, ” Annie Sullivan). This accomplishment affected the rest of Helen’s life: She became the first deaf and blind person to earn a bachelor’s degree from Radcliffe College and went on to become a world-famous speaker and author. Her triumph over her disabilities taught her that any person can change the world, if they truly believe in themselves.
In 1962, the South African apartheid activist, Nelson Mandela, was sentenced to life in prison for his political activities. Did he spend his days bemoaning his fate or complaining how unfair life was? No—he used his time in prison to earn a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of London. Twenty-seven years later, he was released from prison and vowed to use everything he had learned while incarcerated to fight apartheid peacefully and politically. In 1993, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
There is no doubt that physical pain is an excellent teacher. A child who puts his hand on a hot stove burner will not do so again willingly. (Even the family pet will learn from a similar experience.) But the pain the body feels because of a fall, or a cut, or some kind of illness will eventually wear off. The pain and suffering felt in the mind, however, will last for years, informing all our future actions and teaching us the truly indelible lessons of life.解析： 暂无解析 -
