第2题：
The process of perceiving others is rarely translated(to ourselves or others) into cold,objective terms．"She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt．" More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations,abilities, ideas, and characters． Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly--perhaps with a two-second glance．
We try to obtain information about others in many ways． Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others; who are known to you so you can compare the observed person's behavior with the known others' behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for,deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person's responses to specific stimuli, asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about himor her, and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person--question, self-disclosures, and so on．
Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly
changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise． You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him． If we accept the idea that we won't ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions． It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior． Ironically, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e． g． secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e． g． disclosures and truthful statement)．
?We may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him because__________．A.we don't accept the idea that we might never fully know another person
B.we often get information in a casual and inexact way
C.we pay more attention to other people's motivations and emotions
D.we often have face-to-face conversation with him答案：B解析：由第三段可知，我们可能认识一个人十年了但是还对他所知甚少，“because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise”因为我们获取信息的方式通常是不准确的，B项是对imprecise的同义转述。 -
第3题：
Text 2 A century ago,the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners.Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay,and 7million people arrived while about 2 million departed.About a quarter of all Italian immigrants,for example,eventually returned to Italy for good.They even had an affectionate nickname,“uccelli di passaggio,”birds of passage.Today,we are much more rigid about immigrants.We divide newcomers into two categories:legal or illegal,good or bad.We hail them as Americans in the making,or brand them as aliens to be kicked out.That framework has contributed mightily to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it.We don't need more categories,but we need to change the way we think about categories.We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal.To start,we can recognize the new birds of passage,those living and thriving in the gray areas.We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.Crop pickers,violinists,construction workers,entrepreneurs,engineers,home healthcare aides and physicists are among today's birds of passage.They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work,money and ideas.They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them.They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.With or without permission,they straddle laws,jurisdictions and identities with ease.We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever.We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle.Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes,including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.
According to the author,today's birds of passage want____A.financial incentives
B.a global recognition
C.opportunities to get regular jobs
D.the freedom to stay and leave答案：D解析：细节题【命题思路】细节题的解答要求考生准确回文定位，并且逐一对应判断出答案。需要注意的是细节题的正确选项很少是原文信息的复现，而是概括性总结或者前后几句话的概括。错误选项则往往是原文信息的过度推理和断章取义的理解或者是无中生有。【直击答案】根据题干定位至第三段。题干的want与原文的prefer to是同义词，因而解题关键在于对最后两句话的理解。They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them.They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.强调的是工作机会。故D项为正确答案。【排除干扰】A项是对原文的片面理解，通过第三段第二句They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work,money and ideas判断出吸引移民者的不仅仅是来自金钱的激励（money），还有工作机会和工作理念（work and ideas），A项financial incentives（经济鼓励）仅仅是money，因而错误。B项选和C项在文中未提及也不选。 -

单选题We know from this passage that over one hundred seventy years ago ______.Ano women worked outside their homes
Bwomen were considered as children by the law
Cwomen cared nothing about how their family lives were
Dwomen were not allowed to decide how to spend their money or how to teach children
正确答案： D解析：
推理判断题。题干意为“从文章中我们可以知道170年前，美国的妇女是怎样的”。从文章的第一段最后一句话Decisions about family matter sand about the children were made by her husband, the‘head of the family’. 可知，当时，美国的妇女根本没有权利过问家庭事务，甚至是孩子的抚养等问题。所以本题的正确答案为D。 -

态度题。文中大多是引用协会发言人和反对私人拥有氢弹者的话，很少有自己的观点和评论。一般说来，如果作者对客观记录阐述，往往文章末尾总要不由自主地写出自己的看法，但如果作者不愿意写自己的意见，也会把具有能反应作者本人倾向性的别人的意见来作为文章的结尾。结尾处，作者用了反对者的话。反对者说，私人拥有氢弹，人为地造成穷富不平等的社会局面，因而社会就不会安定。C项“怀疑藏氢弹于家的必要性”符合原文，故C为答案。 -

第11题：
填空题What conclusion can we draw about working at home from the passage?Working at home is getting popular but most people need to meet their colleagues ____.正确答案： face to face.解析：
主旨题。由录音中的最后一句话可知，实际上，人们不能只在家工作而不面对面地接触同事。所以此处应填face to face。
【录音原文】
With the increasing use of the Internet, it is becoming more and more common for people to work at home. There appear to be many advantages to this. First, it saves time and money normally spent on traveling. It also reduces pollution. In addition, you have the opportunity to choose when and how you work. It’s not necessary that everyone stick to a nine-to-five working day. You can be your own boss. However, there just isn’t enough human interaction if you only work at home. Real communication seems to be absent. Perhaps younger people don’t have this problem as they can use online communication techniques. But employees who work at home seem to spend too much time online trying to find people to meet face to face. In fact, most people are not able to work just at home without meeting their colleagues face to face sometimes.
Q 11: why are more and more people able to work at home?
Q 12: What are the advantages of working at home?
Q 13: What is another advantage of working at home?
Q 14: What is the problem with working at home only?
Q 15: What conclusion can we draw about working at home from the passage? -

This passage mainly concerns__________．A.the relationship between people

“Birds of passage”refers to those who____A.immigrate across the Atlantic
B.leave their home countries for good
C.stay in a foreign temporarily
D.find permanent jobs overseas答案：C解析：含义题【命题思路】词义句意题大体可分为两类：一、超纲词的意思判断；二、熟词生义、短语或句子在语境中的理解。第一类可通过词根词缀法和上下文语境解题；第二类则主要通过上下文语境来判断。上下文语境包括：一、冒号、破折号后的内容、同位语、同位语从句或定语从句的内容；二、语境表达的主要含义。切忌脱离文章语境来解题。【直击答案】根据题干关键词Birds of passage，定位到第一段末句They even had an affectionate nickname,“uccelli di passaggio，”birds of passage.这句话中birds of passage就是对“uccelli di passaggio”的解释说明，而“uccelli di passaggio，”是nickname的同位语，因此birds of passage是对they的解释说明。通过上下文可知，they指代the immigrants（移民）。因此，birds of passage就是移民的别称。故C项为正确答案。【排除干扰】A项为第一段第一句话的断章取义理解，而通过后文判断，they不仅仅包括来自大西洋的移民，还包括其他国家的移民，因此A项错误。第二句指出他们中的相当大一部分并没有永远待在异国，而是会回国，因此B项不对。D项是对第二句断章取义的理解。 -

正确答案： C解析：
录音中讲到“人们对自己比对其他人苛刻也是正常的。尽管其他人看到你迷人的笑容和长腿，但你也许关注你的肚子没有你想要的那样平或你的臀部太宽”，其中说话者对此给出的建议是“Try to focus on the good things about yourself.”(试着关注自己好的一面)，由此可见那些关心体型的人往往关注自己坏的一面。 -

正确答案： B解析：
主旨题。从全文来看，作者对福利政策改革进行两方面的分析，既指出了成就也指出其不足。但总体来看，作者对福利政策改革持赞扬态度。作者两次提到改革的成功，第一次是在文章开头，指出在各州取得了巨大成功；第二次是在文章倒数第三段，对很多穷人来说现在无政府资助，同过去有政府资助一样好，这本身就是一个巨大胜利。这与D项“福利改革取得了基本的成功”相符。 -

第22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 -
