    B

    occupation

    C

    position

    D

    career


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    句意:史密斯先生有不寻常的工作经历:他最初当过办公室职员,又当过水手,最终做了一名教师。career事业,职业生涯,表示某人工作经历或事业上取得成就的总的过程或进程。史密斯先生做过许多不同的工作,他应该有不同于一般人的“工作经历”。因此D符合题意。profession职业,专业,主要指某些需要特殊知识和技能以及收入较好的职业。occupation泛指所有的“职业,工作”,但无法覆盖史密斯先生所从事的这些工作。position职位,职务,表示的范围是四个词中最小的。

    录音中,男士像女士建议去找她的辅导员谈谈(Better go see your adviser about this),可知本题应该选择A项。
    【录音原文】
    M: Oh, hi! It’s good to see you. What’s happening?
    W: I’m busy with my classes. The quarter’s going by really quickly. How about you? What have you been up to?
    M: Busy with school and work. Hey, what are you taking spring quarter?
    W: Literature, sociology…botany, and…uh…I’m hoping to do something in the arts, maybe some sort of work experience or internship.
    M: No kidding! I didn’t know you were artistic. What do you have in mind?
    W: Well, there’s this theatre group I just found out about in Chester. I went to a couple of their plays. They’re an interesting company. They perform a lot of new works, and they also do older plays that aren’t very well known, and…well…I’m really impressed and would love to work with them in some way.
    M: No kidding! I didn’t know you were into theatre. Do you act?
    W: Not really … I took drama in high school, but I was awful on stage. No … it’s not acting that interests me as much as … all the other stuff.
    M: Like what? Directing? Lighting?
    W: All of it, actually. This theatre I told you about—they have the best sets! I’d like to build sets. Or make costumes, find props—I don’t know, even work in the office. It’s the whole atmosphere of theatre that I find exciting.
    M: It sounds like you need to be a theatre intern.
    W: But, as far as that goes … my problem is I don’t know anything about setting it up.
    M: What, the internship?
    W: Yeah.
    M: Do you know anyone who works there?
    W: No, I only found out about it ‘cause I went to a couple of plays.
    M: Better go see your adviser about this. Doesn’t the advising department post a list of internships that are available?
    W: Yeah, there’s a list. I already checked it, and there was nothing in theatre. But I’ll talk to Sherry, of course. She’s my adviser.
    M: You know what you could do? When I had to do an observation last year for my psychology class—we had to observe a work group for two weeks—what I did—how I got started was, I picked out a couple of law firms and then just sent formal letters of introduction. I told them I was a student, and had to do a report for one of my classes, and asked if I could meet with them to arrange an observation in their workplace.
    W: Oh … really? And what happened?
    M: I said I’d call them, and the first firm I called said I could do it there.
    W: Wow! You make it sound so easy. I wonder if that’d work with the theatre.
    M: It’s worth a try, isn’t it?
    W: It’s worth a try. Hey, I’m glad I ran into you!
    Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation.
    1. What are the students mainly discussing?
    2. What does the woman like about theatre?
    3. What is the woman’s opinion of her own acting ability?
    4. Why does the man say this: “Like what? Directing? Lighting?”
    5. What does the man suggest the woman do?

    【录音原文】
    W: OK, so we’re going to look at the influenza epidemic of 1918 and, uh, probably its effects, like how many people got the flu.
    M: The numbers should be fairly easy to find.
    W: Actually, I have some numbers already. Let me see… OK. From spring 1918 to winter 1919. 25 percent of Americans—one out of every four people—contracted the flu…and about 3 percent of the people who got the flu died from it.
    M: Wow. One—fourth of the population got sick. That’s a lot. It must’ve had a pretty bad effect on the workforce and productivity. Imagine if one-fourth of the people didn’t show up for work. Doctors and hospitals must have been overwhelmed.
    W: Here’s some more interesting numbers:675.000 Americans died from influenza, but only 116,000 died in World War I. That means that the war killed only about…what…about one-sixth of the people who died of the flu.
    M: I wonder how the flu statistics compare with the statistics for other major epidemics, you know, like AIDS and tuberculosis…or other flu epidemics. I think there were other flu epidemics later, after 1918.
    W: Hmm, I don’t know, but I’ll try to find out. That might be good to include in our report.
    M: So, we call talk about the flu and its effects on society and the economy, you know, and…uh compare it to other epidemics. What else should we do?
    W: I think we should tell stories about its effects on real people. My great-grandfather could remember the flu epidemic. He was born in 1910, so he was eight years old at the time. He remembered that there were a lot of funerals. His baby sister and his best friend died of the flu, and that made an impression on him.
    M: Wow. Did your great-grandfather get the flu?
    W: You know, I’m not really sure…he never said if he got sick. Well, I mean, if he did, he survived it and lived to be 91.
    M: You could tell the story about your great-grandfather. You know…that might be a great way to start our presentation.
    W: Yeah? Maybe. It might get our audience’s attention.
    M: I think we should also talk about the connection between the flu and World War I. That was the first global war, and it was the first global epidemic in recorded history. I’ve done some reading about that. What I found out was, it was the army that first noticed large numbers of men getting sick, and it was the army that first started reporting statistics about how many people were affected. You can imagine how fast influenza spread among soldiers living in close quarters, and travelling to other countries.
    W: Wow. OK…ah…we’ve got some pretty good ideas. I like what you’re saying about focusing on the war and the global aspects.
    M: I’ll do a little more research and see what else I can find.
    W: Good. I will, too. I’ll look for stuff about other epidemics. Why don’t we meet again and talk about what we have? Can you meet again on Thursday?
    M: Uh…yeah, sure, that’s fine with me.
    Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation.
    Q1. What are the students mainly discussing?
    Q2. Why does the woman mention her great-grandfather?
    Q3. According to the man, what group first reported large numbers of influenza cases?
    Q4. What information will the students probably include in their report?
    Q5. What do the students agree to do?

    B

    A “Stubborn” Cake with Generations.

    C

    My Stubborn Father.

    D

    My Improved Cooking Skill.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    主旨题。根据全文内容可知,本文主要讲述“一块难以改变的蛋糕”维系了奶奶、父亲、母亲以及作者三代人之间感情的故事,同时表达了作者对父亲的怀念,并且通过上题的分析可知,stubborn是父亲的性格之一,原文中也曾将父亲比作朴实无华的蛋糕,因此,B选项的说法颇含深意,用了一个隐喻(metaphor)来诠释本文的主旨,全面、准确,因此本题的正确答案出的为B。本文讲述的不是一个厨师的生平,故排除A选项。本文主要讲述的是几代人之间因为蛋糕而产生的感情,而不是为了突出父亲顽固的性格,故C选项不全面、不准确,可排除。而D选项“我提升了的厨艺”只是本文描述的一小部分,不能概括全文内容,也可排除。

    C

    qualified

    正确答案: D

    句意:许多现代化国家确信教育的重要性,向高等院校“投资”,并以得到大批有望成为未来领导者的青年的形式来获取“利息”。enlightened启蒙的,开明的,有知识,符合题意。cultivated有教养的,文雅的。qualified有资格的,合格的指具备了职务、职位或任务所需的适当的资格。nourished有营养的,健壮的通常不作形容词来修饰名词。

  • 第24题:

    单选题
    _____ that the demand for power continues to rise at the current rate, it will not be long before traditional sources become inadequate
    A

    Concerning

    B

    Ascertaining

    C

    Assuming

    D

    Regarding


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    句意:假设对电的需求以当前的速度继续增长,用不了多久这些传统的资源就不够了。assume假定,以为,可以表示对将来的一种假设。assuming为现在分词形式,作状语可以引导宾语从句。从题中的it will可知事情还没有发生。assume表示对将来的一种假设,符合题意。concern涉及,关系到,不能跟宾语从句。ascertain确定,探知,虽然可以跟宾语从句,但句中说的不是确定的事,所以不符合。regard视为,看待,尊重,不能跟宾语从句。
