In the part succeeding the third paragraph, the author will most probably _____.
［A］ draw an analogy between golf and short story
［B］ elaborate the “effect” of short story
［C］ show other examples similar to golf games
［D］ show impact of golf games on short story
正确答案：B本题考查考生对文章写作结构的理解。第三段论述了短篇小说与高尔夫比赛相似的特点。该段引用了现代流派的第一位理论家埃德加·爱伦·坡的观点阐明短篇小说的效果是为了创造一种效果。因此，可推知文章接下来应该对这一效果进行详细论述，告诉读者这种效果到底指的是什么，怎样达到。［B］项正确。文章前半部分的论述都是为了引出短篇小说这个话题，所以点题之后，无需再对高尔夫这个引子进行叙述。由此排除其他项。

Some people do not like anything to be out of place;they are never late for work;they return their books on time to the library;they remember people's birthdays;and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive．Mr．Hill is such a man.
Mr．Hill works in a bank,and lives alone．The only family he has is in the next town:his sister lives there with her husband,and her son,Jack．Mr．Hill does not see his sister,or her family,from one year to the next,but he sends them Christmas cards,and he has not forgotten one of Jack's seventeen birthdays.
Last week Mr．Hill had quite a surprise．He drove home from the bank at the usual time,driving neither too slowly nor too fast;he parked his car where he always parked it,out of the way of other cars,and he went inside to make his evening meal．Just then,there was a knock at the door．He opened the door,to find a policeman standing on the door-step.
"What have I done wrong?"Mr．Hill asked himself．"Have I driven on the wrong side of the road?Has there been some trouble at the bank?Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?"
"Hello,Uncle,"said the policeman,"My name is Jack."
Mr．Hill__.A.hardly sees his sister

Play
Play is the principal business of childhood,and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy,every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play,and the main tools of play are toys.Their main func- tion is to suggest,encourage and assist play.To succeed in this they must he good toys,which children will play with often,and will come back to again and again.Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development.
In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach,within the range of his inherited abilities,is largely determined in the first three years of his life .So a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated.A baby,who is encouraged and stimulated,talked to and shown things and played with,has the best chance of growing up successfully.
In the next stage,from three to five years old,curiosity knows no bounds.Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child,for trying out,experimenting and learning,for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws（七巧板）and construction toys ; painting,scribbling（涂鸦）and making things;sand and water play;toys for imaginative and pretending play;the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.
By the third stage of play development—from five to seven or eight years—the child is at school .But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning,at home or at school.It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
Until the age of seven or eight,play and work mean much the same to a child.But once reading has been mastered,then books and schools become the main source of learning.Toys are still interesting and valuable,they lead on to new hobbies,but、their significance has changed—to a child of nine or ten years,toys and games mean,as to adults,relaxation and fun.According to the passage,the abilities a child has inherited from his parents________.
A: determine his character
B: will not change after the age of three
C: partly determine the standard he is likely to reach
D: to a large extent determine the choice of toys答案：C解析：这句话“…as a child grows up ,he should be given different toys”和第一段的最后一句话“…it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development”（给处于不同生长期的孩子选择合适的玩具很重要）是一样的意思。
本题的依据是第二段的第一句话，这句话中有一个介词短语：within the range of his inherited abilities，如果先抛开这个短语，句子的其余部分意为：近年对儿童成长的研究表明，孩子出生的头3年在很大程度上决定了他今后将达到的水平。但这个结论的限定是“在他遗传得到的能力范围之内”(within the range of his inherited abilities)，也就是说孩子从父母那里遗传来的能力部分地决定了他可能达到的水平。
答案的依据是第二段的最后一句话，选项C讲到的3点：given toys, talked to and played with在这句话里都可以找到：talked to and shown things and played with，只是次序稍有不同。
第三段的第一句话告诉我们，孩子3～5岁时是好奇心最强的时候，所以B : around four，四岁前后，是正确答案。
这道题的答案取决于对整篇文章的理解和把握，本文的题目是Play，第一段的第一句话就把文章的中心点出来了：…in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being．第二、第三、第四段分别讲了在1～3岁、3 ～5 岁、5～7/8岁这三个阶段玩耍对孩子成长的重要作用。 -

A Minor Microsurgery Last year,Sean Martinovich,from Whitianga,had life-saving surgery when a golf-sized tumor was removed from his brain stem.But the operation left half his face paralysed.He talked with a slur,sometimes dribbled（流 口水）out of the side of his mouth and could not close his eye properly.Although he could run around with the other boys in the playground,when they laughed he could not laugh with them.Without a smile,he could suffer psychologically and emotionally. Last week,6-year-old Sean had seven hours of microsurgery that should give him back his smile.Doctor Bartlett removed a nerve from the back of one of Sean's legs and transplanted it into his face.On the normal side of his face the nerve divides into lots of little branches."We'll cut those nerve branches and then we'll take a nerve graft from one leg and tunnel it across his face from one side to the other and join that on to the nerve that' s been cut on the good side of his face."Doctor Bartlett said before the operation."If this was not fixed he conld face physical and emotional problems as he got older,"Doctor Bartlett said."Socially people can become quite withdrawn because of the face paralysis.It's easy for people,especially children,to become rather emotionless because they prefer the flatness of no movement on either side to the weirdness of an asymmetry of smiling on one side and having this twisted face." Sean is not smiling yet.Over the next six months the nerves will grow across the face to the damaged side and after that movement will hopefully come back.Sean's parents,Steve and Wendy Martinovich,said they had been through a year of hell.But their son was a determined boy who just got on with it,said Mrs Martinovich.They are amazed at the technology that they hope will restore the cheeky smile they love so much.For Doctor Bartlett the microsurgery is almost routine.For Sean's parents,it is a miracle.How old was Sean Martinovich when the golf-sized tumor was removed from his brain stem?
A:4 years old.
B:5 years old.
C:6 years old.
D:7 years old.答案：B解析：第一段第一句表明，Sean是在去年做的手术；第二段第一句表明，上周Sean的年龄为6岁。所以去年手术时、Sean的年龄应为5岁。
第一段第三句表明，Sean谈吐不清，有时会流口水，还不能正常地闭眼睛；第一段最后一句说明他不能微笑。综合这些可推知，" paralysed"、的意思为“瘫痪的”，也就是失去了感觉和对肌肉的控制。
根据第二段第四句引用的Bartlett医生的话语可知，移植到Sean脸上的神经来自于他的腿上。
由第二段最后两句引用Bartlett医生的话语可知，由于面部瘫痪，人们会变得很内向。特别是孩子，宁愿与面无表情的人接触，也会远离只有半边脸微笑的不对称表情。由此推测，Sean可能为了避免让别人发现他那不对称的微笑而采取躲避的方法，这会引起一系列生理问题和心理问题。
第三段倒数第二句说明，对于Bartlett医生来说，微创手术是“routine"（日常工作），可见微创手术对Bartlett医生来说是一件很容易的事。 -

第13题：
Text 3I am not one who golfs. The only time I tried it I was confident that a dozen balls would be an adequate supply. This is the sport of retired people: how hard could it be? The confidence was misplaced, also, one by one, the balls, and I had to quit somewhere around the seventh hole. On the sixth, actually, I hit a car—there was absolutely no reason for a highway to be that close to a golf course—but that’s another story. The point is that the game did not yield up its mystery to me; I remain, in the golfing universe, a child of darkness. I do find that I am able to watch golf on television, however, where it is possible to experience a calmness that the game itself sadly lacks. Spread out on a couch and indifferent to the outcome (very important), you watch tiny white balls sail improbable distances over the biggest lawns in the world, interrupted occasionally by advertisements for expensive cars. One of the players is named Tiger. Another is named Love. If you have access to a bottle of Martinis (optional), the joy potential can be quite huge.
There is usually a price for pleasure so mindless. In the case of TV golf, it is listening to the commentators analyze the players’ swings. What looks to you like a single, continuous, and not difficult act is revealed, via slow motion and a sort of virtual-chalkboard graphics, to be a sequence of intricately measured adjustments of shoulder to hip, head to arm, elbow to wrist, and so on. Where you see fluidity, the experts see geometry; what to you is nature is machinery to them—parallel lines, extended planes, points of impact. They murder to examine. Yet, apparently, these minutes and individualized measurements make all the difference between being able reliably to land a golf ball in an area, three hundred yards away, the size of a bathmat and, say, randomly hitting a car, which, let’s face it, only a fool would drive right next to a golf course. There is a major disproportion, in other words, between the straightforwardness of the game and the fantastic precision required to play it, a disproportion mastered by a difficult but, to the ordinary observer, almost invisible technique.
Short stories are the same. A short story is not as restrictive as a sonnet, but, of all the literary forms, it is possibly the most single-minded. Its aim, as it was identified by the modern genre’s first theorist, Edgar Allan Poe, is to create “an effect”—by which Poe meant something almost physical, like a sensation or an extreme excitement.
第31题：The author quotes his own experience with golf to show that _____.
［A］ things are often not so simple and easy as they seem
［B］ his experience with golf has been a frustrating failure
［C］ that experience of his offered much for his later life
［D］ apparent truths are more often than not unreliable
正确答案：A本题考查考生对第一段的理解。该段作者讲述了自己打高尔夫的经历。作者开始尝试打高尔夫时充满自信，认为那只不过是退休一族的运动，不可能会很难。结果作者却发现自己的自信心放错了位置，真的打起来连连失败。接着作者联想到自己在电视机前观看高尔夫球赛的轻松经历，两种截然不同的感受说明了打高尔夫并不像看起来的那样简单。因此［A］项为作者想要说明的道理。［B］项是第一段前半部分阐述的事实，但不是作者要说明的道理。［C］项原文中没有涉及，［D］项含有贬义，属于过度推理。

第14题：
While traveling abroad(在国外), Mr. Jackson Frank ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking for $500. "Send the money by telegram," he wrote, "to the Fisher Bank in P…" After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport(护照). "Nothing has come for you," he was told. This went on for two weeks, and Mr. Frank got very worried. He sent a telegram to his brother, asking where the money was. There was no reply, and no money arrived for him.
In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay hotel bill. His passport was taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him. He was sent to prison for sixty days. When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher Bank. The Clerk(职员)he spoke to was a new man. "Have you received $500 for me?" he asked, "My name is Jackson Frank." The clerk checked his books. "Yes, Mr. Jackson, it's here. It came by telegram - let me see - oh, more than two months ago.
"We wondered where you were." He showed Mr. Frank the order. The order(汇单)read: "Pay Mr. Frank Jackson the sum of $500 …"
"But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson."
"Oh, that's all right, sir. It was in our books under the letter 'J', but it's your money."
The clerk laughed. "A human mistake, sir! We're all human beings, aren't we? And so we all make mistakes. A family name like Frank sounds strange to me."

第一篇
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity.It may be walking,cycling or swimming,or in winter,skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind of football,hockey,golf, or tennis.It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship,and to take risks on high mountains?This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game.There are no manmade rules,as there are for such games as golf and football.There are,of course,rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore,but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people.Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports,we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a"team game".We should be mistaken in this.There are,it is true,no "matches " between "teams"of climbers,but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend,there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man.He has to fight the forces of nature.His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve the skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty,and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties.But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.They may take more time than younger men,but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort,and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.Choose the best title for the passage:_________
A:Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football
B:Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports
C:Mountaineering
D:Mountain Climbers答案：C解析：推断题。根据第二段第二句：Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship , and to take risks on high mountains？为什么那些男男女女们愿意忍受寒冷和艰辛去高山上冒险呢？ 由此可以推断登山运动会涉及辛苦、身体上的风险和寒冷。
推断题。根据第三段第一、二句：Mountaineering is a sport and not a game.There are no manmade rules , as there are for such games as golf and football．登山是一项运动，而不是一种比赛。没有像高尔夫和橄榄球那种类型的比赛所具备的人为制定的规则。由此可知运动和比赛的区别是和规则有关系。
推断题。根据第四段最后一句中提到的：...when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend , there is obviously teamwork．但是当登山者们在悬崖峭壁上被维系他们生命的同一根绳子所联结的时候，显然需要团队合作。可以推断出登山时队员们彼此依赖，有很强的团队性，可以称之为一种团体运动。
推断题。根据倒数第二段第二句：He has to兔ht the forces of nature．他必须和大自然的力量作斗争，fight和compete against表达同样的意思。
主旨题。本文的主要内容就是介绍登山运动。 -

【录音原文】
M: Hi! Are you busy right now?
W: Oh. Hi, Scan. There’s a meeting at two-thirty, but I have a few minutes. What can I do for you?
M: Well. I wanted to talk with you before I went to register for next semester. That’ll be my last term here’ cause I hope to transfer to the university next year.
W: Great! Have you applied to the university yet?
M: Not yet. The deadline’s not till March 1.
W: Right.
M: But I was, uh, I wanted to check with you to see if there are any other courses I still need before I transfer. I think I’ve filled all the requirements, but I, uh, just wanted to make sure before I register.
W: All right. Let me pull up your record. Let’s see now …Sean Howard. Here we are. Hmm. All right, it looks like you’ve got all of your English and math credits, so you’re OK there, as well as your humanities and uh, social sciences. But for natural science…hmm…you took biology in your first year, but I don’t see anything after that. You’re required to have at least one more natural science coupe before you can transfer.
M: Oh, really? I thought I needed only one science course.
W: No, sorry, you need at least eight credits in natural science, and that means two courses.
M: I didn’t know that. OK. Then I wonder which course I should take. What do you recommend?
W: Next semester…let’s see…it looks like astronomy, botany, and ecology are all being offered. There’s also a course in meteorology for non-science majors.
M: Meteorology? Do you mean, like, the weather?
W: That’s right.
M: Hey, that might be kind of interesting. I always wanted to know how they forecast the weather.
W: Then that’s the fight course for you. Oh, and, Sean, it looks like you also need two credits in physical education.
M: Physical!
W: Right. You’re required to have four credits, and you’ve only got two so far.
M: Oh, boy. Well, OK, that shouldn’t be too hard. Maybe I should take golf—that is offered in the spring, right?
W: Golf? Uh…yes, it is. Do you play?
M: Not very well, no. I’ve only played a couple of times, but I need to do better than that. My boss plays golf and he’s always talking about it. It would be nice to know what he’s talking about!
W: Then you’d better take golf. You’ve got to play golf with your boss!
M: OK, OK, you talked me into it! Hey, thanks for your time. I appreciate your help, and I’ll get out of your way now.
W: Glad to help, Sean. Good luck with registration!
