第一篇
A recent study,published in last week's Journal of American Medical Association,offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed,a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal accident as a teenager driving alone,by contrast,the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with. each additional passenger.
The author also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 pm,and especially after midnight.With passengers in the car,the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.
Robert Foss,a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers,have less to do with"really stupid behavior" than with just a lack of driving experience."The basic issue,"he says,"is that adults who are responsible for issuing licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled a task driving is."
Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate（使······缓解）the problem is to have states institute so-called graduated licensing systems,in which getting a license is a multistage process.A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult,followed by a period of driving with passenger restrictions,before graduating to full driving privileges.
Graduate licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes,according to recent studies. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place,but only 10 of those states have restrictions on passengers. California is the strictest,with a novice（新手）driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20(without the presence of an adult over 25)for the first six months.According to Paragraph 3,which of the following statements is true?
A:Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.
B:Driving is a skill too complicated for teenagers to learn.
C:Restriction should be imposed on teenagers applying to take driving lessons.
D:The licensing authorities are partly responsible for teenagers' driving accidents.答案：D解析：事实细节题。第一段第二句的by contrast表明青少年驾驶者比成年驾驶者造成致命性事故的可能性更高。另外，从第二段可知，青少年驾驶者在晚上10点后开车更危险，而且当车里有乘客的时候，危险系数最高。综合以上两段就可以判断选项B为正确答案。
推理判断题。第三段结尾句暗示负责发放驾驶执照的成年人轻率地将驾驶执照发给经验不足的青少年，这是青少年发生车祸的部分原因。本文讨论的重点是青少年学会开车后的驾驶执照发放制度，并未讨论青少年学习驾驶的问题，因此其他选项都不能由该段推断出。
事实细节题。答案在第四段的首句。选项A和B在第四段最后一句皆有提及，但它们都是一些具体的做法，不如选项D有概括性。文中并未就青少年驾驶的时间给予限制的建议，因此选项C不正确。
词义推断题。本题考查对graduated一词的理解。根据第四段第一句中的“…is a multistage process”及第二句中的“first, followed, before”等词，可以看出graduated一词表示的是一个渐进的过程，选项C中的step by step与此同义，因此选项C正确。选项A将 graduated曲解为“毕业”；文中并未提及获得驾照的人必须进入驾驶学校学习，因此选项B不对；文中也没有提到要有多长时间的驾驶经验才算足够长，所以选项D不正确。
事实细节题。本题考查对动词词组的理解。在结尾段的第二句中，短语 have...in place意为“具备、拥有”，选项C为其近义表达。 -

BModern medicine has assisted terminally ill patients in painless recovery.
CThe Court ruled that high-dosage pain-relieving medication can be prescribed.
DA doctor’s medication is no longer justified by his intentions.
正确答案： A解析：
此题可用排除法。第二段提到法院的裁决实际上是对“双重效果”说的支持，第三段指出这些年来医生一直在用这个原则为他们大量用药进行辩护。由此可推出，法院对医生的行为应该是支持的。故A、D项错误。而第六段中提到“… for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying”，说明现代医学并没有使临终的病人无痛恢复，而是加剧了他们生理上的痛苦，因此B项错误，也可排除。所以C为正确答案。 -

D) A doctor's medication is no longer justified by his intentions.
正确答案：C
答案：C
[试题分析] 文章细节事实题。
[详细解答] 题干要求考生根据全文判断哪个选项是正确的表述。四个选项如下：A选项“如果医生冒病人死亡的风险，他将被认为有罪”与原文意思相反。第五段首句谈到，只要医生开的药物是用于正当的医疗目的(legitimate medical purpose)，他就没有做违法的事情，即使病人用这些药物来加速死亡。选项中“hold sb．(to be)”意为“认为、相信某人怎样”。B选项“现代医学一直在帮助那些临死的病人进行无痛康复”与原文不符，第六段提到，引起病人绝望的原因是现代医学一直只能延长他们死亡时的肉体痛苦。C选项“法院判决，医生可以开出大剂量的镇痛药物”是正确选项，因为第二段提到，法院对“双重效果”的医疗原则表示了支持，而第三段又提到，近年来医生一直使用这个原则为他们使用大剂量吗啡进行辩护。可见，法院是支持医生用大剂量镇痛药物的。D选项“医生开的药物合不合法不再取决于他们的意图”与原文意思相反，第四段末句提到，如果你是医生，你可以冒病人自杀的风险，只要你不是想要他们自杀。

第15题：
In spite of all stories of prosperity in the United States, not only does poverty exist there, but crimes of various types have been increasing at an alarming rate． Most acts of violence were committed by young people． 57% of the criminals arrested in 1979 were youths below 25 of age．
Everyone agrees that crime is partly a result of bad material conditions: poverty, lack of education,living without a settled home,being parentless,sufferings from other kinds of misfortune, etc．
There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate． In the first place, some state laws provide a death penalty but some not．Secondly, the Constitution allows every citizen to carry weapons for his own protection． It is therefore possible and easy for anyone in the country to get a gun． Finally, there has been too much shown on TV and too much reported in newspaper of all kinds of crime, the details of which are so accurately described that even children know how to duplicate what they have seen or read．
All these have resulted in a high frequency of crimes committed both by professional criminals and by nonprofessional ones in murder, drug smuggling, robbery, etc．
Which of the following is correct according to the text?A.Of the criminals arrested in 1970, 57 percent were youths below 25 of age．
B.Lack of education has little to do with the crime rate．
C.Differences in state laws for death penalty also account for the increase of crime rate．
D.Drug smuggling is the only product of too many shows and reports．答案：C解析：根据第三段“In the first place，some state laws provide a death penalty but some not．”可知，有些州存在死刑刑罚而有些州并没有，导致了犯罪率上升。 -

Mobile Phones
Mobile phones should carry a label if they proved to be a dangerous source of radiation,according to Robert Bell,a scientist.And no more mobile phone transmitter towers should be built until the long-term health effects of the electromagnetic radiation they emit are scientifically evaluated,he said."Nobody is going to drop dead overnight but we should be asking for more scientific information,"Robert Bell said at a conference on the health effects of low-level radiation.______(46)
A report widely circulated among the public says that up to now scientists do not really know enough to guarantee there are no ill-effects on humans from electromagnetic radiation.According to Robert Bell,there are 3.3 million mobile phones in Australia alone and they are increasing by 2,000 a day.______(47)
As well,there are 2,000 transmitter towers around Australia,many in high density residential areas.______(48)The electromagnetic radiation emitted from these towers may have already produced some harmful effects on the health of the residents nearby.
Robber Bell suggests that until more research is completed the government should ban construction of phone towers from within a 500 meter radius of school grounds,child care centers,hospitals, sports playing fields and residential areas with a high percentage of children.______(49)He adds that there is also evidence that if cancer sufferers are subjected to electromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates.
______(50)According to Robert Bell,it is reasonable for the major telephone companies to fund it. Besides,he also urges the government to set up a wide-ranging inquiry into possible health effects.________（49）
A:He says there is emerging evidence that children absorb low-level radiation at a rate more than three times that of adults.
B:By the year 2000 it is estimated that Australia will have 8 million mobile phones;nearly one for every two people.
C:"If mobile phones are found to be dangerous,they should carry a warning label until proper shields can be devised,"he said.
D:Then who finances the research?
E:For example,Telstra,Optus and Vodaphone build their towers where it is geographically suitable to them and disregard the need of the community.
F: The conclusion is that mobile phones bring more harm than benefit.答案：A解析：本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。本题应该填与low-level radiation有关的内容。所以选项C是正确的。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。此空前面一句介绍了澳大利亚拥有手机的现状，选项B的内容是对到2000年之前手机发展前景的预测，内容连贯。因此选B。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。这一段第一句说“许多微波发射塔建在人口稠密的居民区”。选项E的内容涉及微波发射塔的地点选择只考虑到地理位置而不顾及社区居民的安全。选项E扩展了第一句表达的信息。此外，选项E出现tower这个词，与第一句的tower 相呼应，也证明了选择的合理性。因此选E。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。此空前一句说的是Robert Bell建议政府应该禁止在儿童比例高的地区（如学校操场、儿童医疗中心、居住小区等）的500 米半径范围内建造发射塔。选项A说明为什么要这样做，因此选A。
本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。此空后面一句说主要的电话公司出钱资助研究项目的问题，因此选项D是正确答案。 -

题目问的是：根据文章，富人和穷人间的收入差距可能会因为什么再次扩大？文章第2段提到“Some long-term sick...grow relatively poorer if... raise benefits only in line with prices.”，以及第5段提到“it could widen again if the real value of earnings accelerated away from the real value of prices-linked benefits”，表明了如果福利只与价格挂钩，不顾人们收入的真正价值，贫富差距很可能会拉大。故D正确。 -

Bby exerting more international pressure upon those high-fertility regions
Cby modifying the widely held values which guide the actions of many individuals and couples
Dby providing the rural poor with means for limiting the family size
正确答案： D解析：
文章第二段指出人口趋势代表个人、夫妻和家庭的combined decisions，而这些决定被“shaped and conditioned by commonly held values, goals, and aspirations”，并且人们往往会按照这些价值观行事，接下来第三段开头指出若想降低人口增长率，必须最终改变数百万对夫妻的decisions和behavior，可见降低人口增长率的最好办法是改变人们广泛持有的价值观。
