第2题：
听力原文： For 25 years I was a full-time thief, specializing in picking pockets. Where I come from in southeast London, that's an honorable profession. Anyone call break into a house and steal things. But picking somebody's pocket takes skill. My sister and I were among the most successful pickpocket teams in London. We worked in hotel and theatre lobbies, airports, shopping centers, and restaurants. Now we don't steal anymore, but this crime is worldwide. Here is how to protect yourself:
Professional pickpockets do not see victims, only handbags, jewels and money. Mothers with babies, the elderly, the disabled are all fair game. My preferred target was the lone female, handbag at her side, the right side to be exact. So if I'm next to her I can reach it cautiously with my right hand across my body. Only about one woman in a thousand carries her bag on the left, and I tended to steer clear of them. Women whose bags are hanging in front of them are tricky for the pickpocket, as there isn't a blind side. If you want to make it even harder, use a bag with handles rather than a strap. For men, one of the best places to keep a wallet is in the back pocket of tight trousers. You'll feel any attempts to move it. Another good place is in the buttoned-up inside pocket of a jacket. There's just no way in. Even better, keep wallets attached to a cord or chain that is fasten to a belt.
A pickpocket needs targets who are relaxed and off guard. The perfect setting is a clothing store. When customers wander among the racks, they are completely absorbed in the items they hold up. The presence of a uniformed security guard is even better. A false sense of security makes a pickpocket's job much simpler.
Why does the speaker say that picking somebody's pocket is an honorable job in southeast London?
A．It takes skill,
B．It's a full-time job.
C．It's admired worldwide.
D．It pays well.
正确答案：A
解析：根据...picking somebody's pocket takes skill可知答案为A。 -

He picked up the apparently lifeless body and, bolding it close tohim, began to weep. A young man stepped forward from the crowd and, taking somemoney from his pocket, dropped it into the hat.

Afew month latter, Robert came across the old man again in another part of thecity. The man had a monkey, bought no doubt with the money which the crowd hadgiven him.

A:when
B:where
C:which
D:what答案：B解析：根据下文判断，这里应该是转折关系。尽管抓到的那个人不承认自己是小偷，但是抓到他时，他身上有几枚钻戒。所以选D。
deny是“否定”的意思，与“承认”相对。accept意为“接受”;ignore意为 “忽视”; reject意为“拒绝，抵制”。
in one's possession是“拥有，持有”的意思，相当于in possession of，因此选B。
介词on后接动名词时，有“一······就······”的意思。本句的意思是“史密斯一看到警察，就跳进了车里······”，因此选D。
文章要表达的意思是“跳进车里”，只能选介词into。
force是“逼迫”的意思。本句的意思是：“警察最终把史密斯逼到了路边。”
truck意为“卡车”; motorbike意为“摩托车”; bicycle意为“自行车”，前文提到他跳进“auto"（汽车），与car同义。
clothing是“衣服”的意思，所有衣服的统称。文章说的是当警察搜查他的衣服时发现了钻戒。coat意为“外衣”，太具体了。
下文应该要填一个引导定语从句的表示地点的疑问副词，所以选where。
identify...as…意为“认出······是······”，句义是：“最近遭遇抢劫案的珠宝店主认出了他丢失的珠宝。”
confess是“承认，坦白，忏悔”的意思，既可以作及物动词，又可以作不及物动词使用。文中的意思是“犯人如拒不认罪”，应该选C。
由前后文可以推断此处应为表转折关系的连词。
sb.have no doubt that…的意思是“某人对······毫不怀疑”。
guilty是“有罪的”的意思，符合原文的意思。
caused by的意思是“由······引起的”，原文的意思是：“发言人还表示，希望由最近发生的抢劫案在社区中引起的恐慌会因为史密斯的被捕而平息。” -

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。 -

Finding a Job
At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school,but the future called to him excitedly.“Get out of the classroom into a job,”it said,and Ron obeyed.His father,supporting the dcci-sion,found a place for him in a supermarket.“You're lucky,Ron,”he said.“For every boy with a job these days,there's a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.
For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food.By the end of that time he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction.He searched for an in-terest in his work,with little success.
One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south.With nine pounds in his pocket,a full heart and a great longing for the sea,he set out to make a better way for him-self. That evening,in Bournemouth,he had a sandwich and a drink in a cafe run by an elderly man and his wife.Before he had finished the sandwich,the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer,at twenty pounds a week,a room upstairs and three meals a day.The ease and speed of it rather took Ron's breath away.At quiet times Ron had to check the old man's arithme- tic in the records of the business.
At the end of the season,he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living.He worked in shops mostly,but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks.Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there;he was the only one who could keep the books.What did Ron's father think about his leaving school?
A: He thought his son was doing the right thing.
B: He advised him to stay at school to complete his education.
C: He did not like the idea,but he helped Ron to find work.
D: He knew there was a job for every boy who wanted one.答案：A解析：本文第一段的第一句说到：罗恩（Ron）感到未来在向他召唤：“走出教室，找个工作”，于是他们遵从了这一召唤。因此我们可以了解到是他自己想要开始工作。
根据本文第一段，他的父亲支持这一决定，并帮助罗恩找到了一份工作。由此我们对父亲的态度是很明确的。
本文第二段提到罗恩对学校生活的留恋，想要提高自己对目前工作的兴趣未果。由此可以判断出他认为超市的工作枯燥(dull) 。
第三段说罗恩“longing for the sea”（向往大海），因此他是想在海边找个工作的。应注意C选项中的“unwell”指身体不舒服、有病，因而不选。
根据上下文判断词汇含义。此题关键在于对“keep the books”的理解，这里指罗恩负责打理鞋店的生意，因为只有他懂得如何管理账目。而选项B中的accounts即是账目的意思。 -

Passage Four
One evening Mr. Green was driving home along a lonely country road. He had ￡ 100.00 in his pock et. At the loneliest part of the road, a man asked for a lift (搭车). Mr. Green told him to get into the car and continued his driving. When he talked to the man and learned that the man had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days before, Mr. Green was very worried.
Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea. He just reached a small town where the speed limit (限制速度) was 30 miles an hour. But he drove the car as fast as it could go. He looked back and saw that the police-car had begun to chase (追) him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook (赶上) him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out and came to Mr. Green's car. Mr. Green hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber, but he felt the man had put a gun against his back. The policeman took out his notebook and pencil, saying he wanted Mr. Green's name and address. Mr. Green asked to be taken to the police station, but the policeman said, "No, you will have to appear at the police station later." Mr. Green had to do as the policeman told him. The policeman wrote his name and address down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr. Green started up his car again and drove on.
Just as he reached the outskirts (郊区) of London, the passenger said, "! want to get off here." Mr. Green stopped the car, the man got out and said, "Thanks for the lift. You've been good to me. This is the least I can do in return (报答)." And he handed Mr. Green the policeman's notebook, which he stole while the policeman was talking to Mr. Green.
46. The man asking for a lift was ______.
A. a robber who robs drivers
B. a policeman who had worked in prison
C. a prisoner who had escaped from prison
D. a stranger with ￡ 100.00 in his pocket

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。 -

Finding a Job
At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school,but the future called to him excitedly.“Get out of the classroom into a job,”it said,and Ron obeyed.His father,supporting the dcci-sion,found a place for him in a supermarket.“You're lucky,Ron,”he said.“For every boy with a job these days,there's a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.
For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food.By the end of that time he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction.He searched for an in-terest in his work,with little success.
One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south.With nine pounds in his pocket,a full heart and a great longing for the sea,he set out to make a better way for him-self. That evening,in Bournemouth,he had a sandwich and a drink in a cafe run by an elderly man and his wife.Before he had finished the sandwich,the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer,at twenty pounds a week,a room upstairs and three meals a day.The ease and speed of it rather took Ron's breath away.At quiet times Ron had to check the old man's arithme- tic in the records of the business.
At the end of the season,he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living.He worked in shops mostly,but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks.Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there;he was the only one who could keep the books.It took about a year for Ron to realize that______.
A: he worked well because he was interested in the job
B: his work at the supermarket was dull
C: being at work was much better than going to school
D: the store manager wanted to get rid of him答案：B解析：本文第一段的第一句说到：罗恩（Ron）感到未来在向他召唤：“走出教室，找个工作”，于是他们遵从了这一召唤。因此我们可以了解到是他自己想要开始工作。
根据本文第一段，他的父亲支持这一决定，并帮助罗恩找到了一份工作。由此我们对父亲的态度是很明确的。
本文第二段提到罗恩对学校生活的留恋，想要提高自己对目前工作的兴趣未果。由此可以判断出他认为超市的工作枯燥(dull) 。
第三段说罗恩“longing for the sea”（向往大海），因此他是想在海边找个工作的。应注意C选项中的“unwell”指身体不舒服、有病，因而不选。
根据上下文判断词汇含义。此题关键在于对“keep the books”的理解，这里指罗恩负责打理鞋店的生意，因为只有他懂得如何管理账目。而选项B中的accounts即是账目的意思。 -
