第1题：
It is surprising that eating three meals a day—breakfast, lunch and dinner—has been a custom only since 1890. Before this time, people only had two meals a day—breakfast and dinner. In the 16th century, breakfast was only to break one’s fast(开戒, 即开始吃东西). But 200 years later it had become a large meal, not just for family, but for numbers of guests as well. It was a social event. It began at 10 a.m. and lasted until 1 p.m. Then breakfast began to be less popular. It became, instead, a lighter meal and was taken at much earlier hour. By 1850 it had been pushed back to 8 a.m. and became a family meal. Dinner, however, went the other way. In the 16th century it was eaten at 11 a.m. Years later, it moved to the early afternoon, then to 5 p.m. By 1850 dinner time had reached 7 p.m. Lunch is a recent idea. It first appeared as a snack to fill the gap between breakfast and dinner.
1.People did not have lunch ______.
A.until 1890
B.after 1890
C.since 1890 Dby 1890
2.“Dinner, however, went the other way” means “______”.
A.dinner didn’t go there with breakfast
B.dinner took the same way as breakfast
C.dinner got later
D.dinner is the same with breakfast
3.Breakfast has been a family meal since the ______ century.
A.17th
B.18th
C.16th
D.19th
4.The passage is mostly concerned with ______.
A.what people eat for breakfast
B.what people eat for dinner
C.the history of supper
D.the history of the three meals
5.The passage leads us to believe that ______.
A.our custom of meals is based on an English custom
B.before 1890 people didn’t eat three meals a day
C.breakfast is the most important meal for us
D.three meals a day is a long tradition

A:in which
B:from which
C:of which
D:by which答案：B解析：由于上文说到通货膨胀是一个“阶段”，因此这里需要填写一个表示时间的关联词。本句意思是“当你用同样的钱买到的东西比以前少的时候，通货膨胀就发生了。” 因此选D。
根据句子关系和词语提示，本句上半句中的fewer可作提示词，less是lit-tie的比较形式，与fewer相配。下句中的“your money buys less”是更直接的提示。因此选D。
根据词语搭配和上下文线索提示。介词in与相应的名词搭配使用表示 “在……方面增长或减少”。本段第二句有类似的表达that causes rapid rises in prices。

根据上下文含义和句子逻辑，本句需要填一个表示“跟上”的词，因此要选keep up with。本句意思是“很多退休的人必须削减一些开支来跟上上涨的物价”。因此选D。
根据上下文意思和词语用法，stop后面接动名词表示“不再做某事”，这句话的意思是“很多情况下他们不再买一些生活必需品”。因此选B。
根据语法逻辑，本句是状语部分前置，正常语序是：Inflation can be a problem even for working people whose incomes are going up.for指“对于……来说”。本句意思是 “甚至对于那些有工作，工资在上涨的人来说，通货膨胀也是一个问题”。
根据词语搭配和上下文意思，选cost成本，本句意思是“生活成本上升了，工作的人们必须花更多的钱来保证自己的生活质量”。
keep pace with指“跟上”，与keep up with同义。本句意思是“当工资和物价上涨不同步时，生活质量就下降”。因此选B。
此空填的是由from加which引导的定语从句，本句意思是“政府机构收集经济生活中的价格信息，将它发布成为消费指数，通过这样，比率的变化就可以确定”。因此选B。
given在这里指“给定的、一定的”，符合题目要求。本句意思是“通过将特定的某一年的价格作为基数就可以衡量物价的变化”。
根据词语搭配和上下文线索选percentage百分比。本句意思是“其他物价按照这个基数变为一个百分比数字”。
根据语法原则选it。 it在这里是形式宾语，代替不定式to compare current prices of typical consumer goods with prices of the same goods in previous years。本句意思是“消费指数能够将某种商品的目前价格与往年的做比较”。 -

单选题According to the passage, which of the following did NOT happen in the room where the college entrance exam was going on?AThe teachers in the exam hall tried to stop the police from entering into the room.
BSome examinees sent answers with mobile phones to people outside the room to make profits.
CThe mobile phones were confiscated by the police.
DSome examinees forwarded answers to people who have paid a lot of money.
正确答案： A解析：
语义的理解和判断。该段录音与一次考试作弊案相关，开头便指出警察试图进入学生参加大学入学考试的大厅，但是“They were blocked by teachers but later confiscated mobile phones…”，由此可知，虽然教师们不让警察进入考试大厅，但后来警察们还是没收了被用于考试作弊的手机，因此选项A、C均与录音原文相符。接着录音中指出考场里最聪明的学生将答案做出后，发给younger students outside the hall（考场外年纪小一点的学生）手中，然后这些学生再将答案转发给已付过钱的人，由此可见，B项内容也与录音原文相符。但D项所描述的（一些考生将答案转发给已付过钱的人）与录音中提到的“发给考场外年纪小一点的学生”不符。
【录音原文】
Acting on a tip off—the police tried to raid a hall where students were taking the college entrance exam last month. They were blocked by teachers but later confiscated mobile phones that had been smuggled into the room—and uncovered what they said was an elaborate cheating system. The brightest students known as “players” finished their multiple choice papers quickly then sent off the answers by text message to younger students outside the hall. They forwarded the information to others who paid up to 1, 000 dollars to take part. -

第17题：
Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities．Of course，there have always been people who have looked for adventure--those who have climbed the highest mountains，explored（探险）unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans．Now，however，there are people who seek（寻找）an immediate thrill（令人激动的事情）from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds．
I?would consider bungee（蹦极）jumping to be a good example of such an aetwity．You jump?from a high place（perhaps a bridge or a hot air balloon）200 metres above the ground with an elas-tic（弹性的）rope tied to your ankles．You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground．It is estimated that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping．Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping involve（包括）jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs．
Why do people take part in such activities as these?Some psychologists（心理学家）suggestthat it is because life in modern societies has become safe and borin9．Not very long ago，people’s lives were constantly under threat．They had to go out and hunt for food，diseases could not easily be cured，and life was a continuous battle for survival．
Nowadays，according to many people，life offers little excitement．They live and work in?comparatively safe environments;they buy food in shops;and there are doctors and hospitals to look?after them if they become ill.The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such?as bungee jumping.
People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because__________.A.they have a lot of free time
B.they can go to hospital if they are injured
C.their lives lack excitement
D.they no longer need to hunt for food答案：C解析：从最后一段第一句“Nowadays．．．little excite-ment．”可知现代人的生活平淡无奇，生活缺少刺激。故选C项。 -
