    第三篇

    No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
    In the United Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people.As we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
    Disablement can take many forms and happen at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
    Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains?What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability,not their disability,which counts.

    Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A:There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.
    B:The whole society should pay more attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.
    C:Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.
    D:Disabled people are facing two barriers:physical barriers and prejudice.

    答案:D
    解析:
    第一段第一句是该段的主题句。" No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world , but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.”说明残疾人数量很多。
    第四段第一句和第四句是该段主题句。" Disabled people face many physical barriers."',But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.”该段从实际困难和精神歧视两方面说明残疾人面临的障碍。
    文章最后一句:"...it is the individual person and their ability, not their disa-bility ,which counts.”大意是“······真正重要的是残疾人的独立人格及其能力,而不是其身体上的残疾。”
    选项A、C都出现在第二段中。B是文章所呼吁的。文章最后一段说 "prejudice(偏见)can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all"。残疾人所面临的障碍除了身体残疾外,还有人们的偏见和被人们忽视。所以选项D与原文不相符。
    主旨题。文章首先叙述残疾人之多和各种残疾,进而从身体和精神两方面阐述残疾人面临的障碍,并指出精神方面的障碍是最难被打破的。因此,可以推论出作者告诫我们应该正确对待残疾人。

  • 第3题:

    根据下面资料,回答
    A proverb from ancient China was widely spread in the West: "If you want to be happy for a few hours, go to get drunk; if you want the happiness to last three years, get married; if you want lifetime happiness, take up gardening." The reason for the last is this: Gardening is not only useful, but it helps you to identify yourself with nature, and thus brings you new joy each day besides improving your health.
    A research of a US university that I′ve read gives a definition of happiness as what makes a person feel comfortably pleased. To put it simply, happiness is an active state of mind where one thinks one′ s life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable. This should be something lasting rather than transitory.
    Lots of people regard it the happiest to be at leisure. But according to a study, it is not a person with plenty of leisure but one at work that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time for leisure. Happiness does not mean gains one is after but a desire to harvest what one is seeking for. People often do not treasure what they already have but desire what they cannot get. That is somewhat like a man with fond dreams of numerous lovers while unwilling to settle down with the woman beside him.
    Happiness is a game balancing between two ends--what one has and what one wishes for, i.e. one′s dream and the possibility to realize it. The study comes to this conclusion: A happy man is one who aims high but never forgets his actual situation; one who meets challenges that develop his ability and potentiality; one who′s proud of his achievements and the recognition given to him. He has self-respect and self-confidence; treasures his own identity and loves freedom. He is sociable and enjoys wide range communication with others; he′s helpful and ready to accept assistance. He knows he is able to bear sufferings and failures; he is sensible enough to get fun from daily work. He is a man capable of love and passion.
    The research of the US university found that most people feel happy when they_____________.

    A.are after their goals
    B.work as gardeners
    C.are at leisure
    D.have great leisure

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题。根据文章第三段内容,可知有大量空闲时间的人是感受不到幸福的.忙于工作的人才能享受到幸福。获得并不是幸福,对所追求事物的渴望才是幸福。即A项正确。

    Questions80-84 refer to the following advertisement.
    We all know that lack of sleep affects our memory, along with other cognitive abilities. Sittingin the office, sleep deprived, it’s difficult to remember your own name, let along theever-lengthening to-do list.
    But now new research shows that not getting enough sleep increases the chances your mind will actually create false memories. The study, published in Psychological Science, allowed one group of participants to get a full night’s sleep, while another had to stay up all night. In the morning they were given a series of photos that were supposed to show a crime being committed. Next, both groups were given some eyewitness statements about the crime. Like many witness statements in real-life crimes, the details were different to those shown in the photographs. For example, in
    one instance the photo showed a thief putting a wallet in his jacket, but in the witness statement it said he put it in his pants (that’s ‘trousers’ for British people, not his underwear!). Afterwards, they were asked what they had seen in the original photographs. The results showed that those who’d missed out on their sleep were the most likely to regurgitate the false eyewitness statements they’d just read, rather than remembering the ‘true’ crime-scene photos they’d been
    shown moments beforehand.
    The lack of sleep had messed with their heads to the extent that all the evidence — right and wrong — had got mixed up.
    One of the study’s authors, Kimberly Fenn, said:” People who repeatedly get low amounts of sleep every night could be more prone in the long run to develop these forms of memory distortion. It’s not just a full night of sleep deprivation that puts them at risk.” Indeed, a preliminary study they carried out found that getting just five hours sleep was enough to cause people to start manufacturing false memories.

    Which of the following statements is true according the article?

    A. A full night of sleep deprivation outs people on the risk of false memory
    B. Deprivation of sleep fails to have impact on the ability to memorize list
    C. Short-term lack of sleep is more likely to result in memory distortion
    D. Your own name will not escape you no matter how long you sleep

    答案:A
    解析:
    A 是说失眠可能导致人们记忆出差,这跟整篇文章所说内容是一致的。就是缺觉对人记忆力的影响。B 选项说的是缺觉对人没有影响,刚好跟文章的论点相反。C 项讲短期缺觉更容易对人产生影响,文章中没有提到短期或者长期缺觉的区别。D 项讲无论睡多久人都不会忘记自己的名字,与文章第一段第二句话内容相反。

  • 第17题:

    Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys,people are actually more stressed at home than at work.Researchers measured people’s cortisol,which is a stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom,we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home”,writes one of the researchers,Sarah Damske.In fact women even say they feel better at work,she notes.“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work.”Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without,but more so for nonparents.This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home,whether it is household work or work brought home from the office.For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back.For women who stay home,they never get to leave the office.And for women who work outside the home,they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.With the blurring of roles,and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women,it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing.At work,people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing:working,making money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front,however,people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out.There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them.Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor;they need to be talked into it,or if they’re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices.Plus,they’re your family.You cannot fire your family.You never really get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home.Not only are the tasks apparently infinite,the co-workers are much harder to motivate.
    The home front differs from the workplace in that_____

    A.home is hardly a cozier working environment
    B.division of labor at home is seldom clearcut
    C.household tasks are generally more motivating
    D.family labor is often adequately rewarded

    答案:B

    细节题【命题思路】细节题。本题主要考查考生准确理解题干,精准定位并正确理解定位信息,辨别干扰选项的能力。【直击答案】根据出题的顺序性原则,本题定位到倒数第二段首句。本句“on the home front,however,people have no such clarity”,表明在家里,人们的分工不会像工作场所那么明确,从而导致女性在家里压力大,A项“division of labor at home is seldom clearcut”是对此信息的同义替换,为最佳答案。【干扰排除】A项属于无中生有信息。原文并未提及家务活是否更具motivating,C项无中生有。D项与原文信息“there are inadequate rewards for most of them.”不符合,属于反向干扰,故排除。

  • 第18题:

    资料:We all know that lack of sleep affects our memory along with other cognitive abilities. Sitting in the office sleep deprives it’s difficult to remember your own name, let along the ever-lengthening to-do list.
    But now new research shows that not getting enough sleep increases the chances your mind will actually create false memories. The study, published in Psychological Science, allowed one group of participants to get a full nights’ sleep while another had to stay up all night. In the morning they were given a series of photos that were supposed to show a crime being committed. Next, both groups were given some eyewitness statements about the crime. Like many witness statements in real-life crimes the details were different to those shown in the photographs. For example, in one instance the photo showed a thief putting a wallet in his jacket, but in the witness statement it said he put it in his pants(that's ‘trousers’ for British people not his underwear!). Afterwards they were asked what they had seen in the original photographs. The results showed that those who'd missed out on their sleep were the most likely to regurgitate the false eyewitness statements they'd just read rather than remembering the ‘true’ crime-scene photos they'd been shown moments beforehand. The lack of sleep had messed with their heads to the extent the all the evidence—right and wrong—had got mixed up.
    One of the study's authors, Kimberly Fenn, said:”People who repeatedly get low amounts of sleep every night could be more prone in the long run to develop these forms of memory distortion. It's not just a full night of sleep deprivation that puts them at risk. Indeed, a preliminary study they carried out found that getting just five hours sleep was enough to cause people to start manufacturing false memories.

    What is the dependent variable in the study?

    A.Creation of false memories
    B.Memory deprivation
    C.Crime being created
    D.Different details shown

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解
    【关键词】dependent variable
    【主题句】第2自然段The results showed that those who'd missed out on their sleep were the most likely to regurgitate the false eyewitness statements they'd just read rather than remembering the ‘true’ crime-scene photos they'd been shown moments beforehand. 结果显示,没睡觉的人更容易复述虚假的目击陈述,而不是回忆起之前亲眼目睹的犯罪现场照片。
    【解析】题目意为“研究中的因变量是什么?”选项A意为“错误记忆创建”,选项B意为“记忆剥夺”,选项C意为“创造犯罪”,选项D意为“显示不同细节”。 一项研究中,设定某一因素不同,研究对结果的影响,设定的因素就是自变量,被影响的结果就是因变量。文中的实验研究的是缺乏睡眠是否会创造虚假记忆,结果是确实创造了虚假记忆,选项A正确。
