第8题：
Everyone knows airline pricing is based on supply and demand. Fares are mores expensive during peak travel seasons like summer and to prime destinations like European capitals. So if a flight to Rome costs more than a flight to Milan you d think that demand for Rome must be higher or supply lower
What’s puzzling is that you can pay a high price to a given destination but a dramatically lower price for the exact same flight if you agree to go on to another destination.
Take Alitalia to Rome for instance for travel in August A round-trip economy flight directly to Rome leaving JFK at 10:05 p.m on Alitalia 611 on August 5 costs $1,655 when booked on April 30 Compare that to $903 for a round-trip economy ticket to Milan(stopping in Rome)leaving JFK on the exact same Alitalia 611 flight at 10:05 p.m on August 5. So why is Alitalia willing to fly you to Rome for $752 less than it would otherwise plus give you an extra one-and-a-half-hour flight to Milan?
Airlines have increased their profitability in recent years by segmenting the market for air travel and charging customers different prices for the same product. In this case the market is segmented based on demand for direct flights. Airlines know most people prefer the shortest route to their destination so they make customers pay up for the privilege of flying direct(They also make it a little more inconvenient if you don’t pay up for a direct flight in order to encourage you to fly direct)
When process become so obviously illogical it may be time to why air tickets can’t be transferred or resold just like any other normal product If the airlines are entitled to exploit the free market shouldn’t customers be allowed to do the same thing?
Why may prices for direct flights be higher according to the passage?A. Because all people prefer the shortest route to their destination
B. Because airlines take advantage of people’s preference for direct flights
C. Because connecting flights may cause inconvenience
D. Because airlines charge customers different prices for the same product答案：解析：细节题。根据文段定位“……the market is segmented based on demand for direct flights Airlines know most people prefer the shortest route to their destination so they make customers pay up for the privilege of flying direct……”。B项符合，航空公司可以利用很对策略去增加自己的利润，当然可以抓住消费者心理那就是较短的时间到达目的地。答案A项太过于绝对化，故排除。答案C项的原因是说因为飞机联系比较不方便，文段说人们就是项今早到达目的地，所以航空公司是抓住了这个心理，故C项排除。D项仅仅是一方面，但并不是该题目的答案，排除。因此答案选B。 -
第9题：
资料：The daily changes of the market can lead investors astray.The ups and downs make the tendency to look at the portfolio,s performance frequently too temping.This means investers are likely to perceive mere risk,forgetting about their key term goals.
When investors log into their trading accounts they can see the potential gain or loss of all of their assets.They can also see the day change on assets which are coded gain and loss.However,It,s believed that those who look less get more.
For instance.if you look at FLSE index from today to tomorrow there is a roughly 50% chance that it has gone up or down.If you look at it over a year you may find that 60%~65% of the time it is going up.And if you look over a five-year period.you will find that 90% of the time it goes up.
What is the example trying to illustrate?A.Most investors log into their trading accounts every day
B.The investors who seldom check daily changes may get more returns
C.The potential gain and loss of assets can be predicted
D.The potential growth rate of the portfolio is likely to be fixed答案：B解析：本题考查推理判断。
【关键词】example；illustrate
【主题句】However, It’s believed that those who look less get more.然而，有分析称越少查看的人得到的越多。
【解析】本题问的是“示例说明了什么？”。文中第三自然段举例“For instance, if you look at FLSE index from today to tomorrow there is a roughly 50% chance that it has gone up or down. If you look at it over a year you may find that 60%~65% of the time it is going up. And if you look over a five-year period. you will find that 90% of the time it goes up.”意为“例如，如果你看今天到明天的FLSE指数，它上升或下降的概率是50%。如果你看一年的指数，你会发现它60%-65%的时间都在上升。如果你看五年的指数，你会发现90%的时间都在上升。”选项A意为“大多数投资者每天登陆他们的账户”；选项B意为“很少检查每日变化的投资者可能会获得更多的回报”；选项C意为“可以预测资产的潜在收益和损失”；选项D意为“投资组合的潜在增长率很可能是固定的”。结合前文“However, It’s believed that those who look less get more.”即主题句，“然而，有分析称越少查看的人得到的越多。”故选项B正确。 -
第10题：
300 Hurdles Now comes the first hurdle. __1__ We all make it over this hurdle with ease. This symbolizes. Those obstacles in life that we struggle to get over, but we always manage to do so.

第11题：
单选题AThey will be the first tours that get out of the earth’s orbit.
BThe number of tourists will be reduced.
CThey are less dangerous than travelling to Mars.
DThe number of tourists will not be too large.
正确答案： D解析：
对话接近尾处时女士问道“So what about getting out of the earth’s orbit…”，男士的回中指出有这方面的计划，并提到“下一步是使大量的人参与到moon tours之中”。由此可见moon tours将是首批在地球轨道之外旅行的游客。
【录音原文】
W: Welcome to the Holiday Show. Today with me in the studio I have Richard Bennet, a travel consultant who’s going to tell us about the holiday for those who have been everywhere. So Richard, what’s the next frontier for the fearless traveller?
M: We’re already working on plans that will get tourists into space within the next ten years.
W: So do you think that in a few years’ time we’ll be having hotels on the moon?
M: Well, possibly, but the first step will probably be suborbital trips. That’s staying within the earth’s orbit.
W: Then how will the tourists travel?
M: It’s about a hundred times as high as a jet plane usually goes and to get that high you’d need rocket planes, or capsules boosted by rockets.
W: That must be exciting. Do tourists need any kind of training on earth?
M: Yes, because there’ll be tremendous G-forces during one minute or so, and then a few minutes’ experience of weightlessness at zero gravity before the rocket returns to earth. They need a couple of days’ training to get used to them through.
W: So can you tell us who’s going to be interested in trips like this?
M: Well, we hope the general public will be interested in hearing about it, but it’s hardly for those wanting rest and recreation and in fact the sort of person who will probably want to do this is quite easy to target. They’re basically risk-takers.
W: So you don’t expect all that many people to go on these trips in the beginning?
M: No, we don’t think many people are going to pay out such large sums of money for just a few minutes. So the next stage is likely to be keeping them up there in the orbit for three or four hours.
W: What can they do during this period?
M: They’ll have the chance to see our planet from space, and also to see the darkness of space, and really spectacular sunsets and sunrises one after another.
W: So what about getting out of the earth’s orbit and doing some real space tourism-holidays on Mars, for example?
M: Well, yes, there are plans, and the next step is involving a really quite sizeable number of people in moon tours.
W: So are we talking about hotels on the moon here?
M: As on a cruise, your hotel is your means of transport. So it would involve taking a shuttle up to a spaceship. And passengers could even suit up and go outside space walking if they wanted.
W: That will be marvellous!
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation.
Q1. What is this conversation about?
Q2. What is being planned for tourism in the beginning phase of the next ten years?
Q3. What is said about the training?
Q4. Who will be the potential tourists?
Q5. What is said about moon tours? -

Electric Backpack
Backpacks are convenient. They can hold your books,your lunch,and a change of clothes,leaving your
hands free to do other things.Someday,if you don't mind carrying a heavy load,your backpacks might also
power your MP3 player,keep your cell phone running,and maybe even light your way home.
Lawrence C.Rome and his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the
Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole,Mass.,have invented a backpack that makes electricity from
energy produced while its wearer walks.In military actions,search-and-rescue operations,and scientific field
studies,people rely increasingly on cell phones,global positioning system(GPS)receivers,night-vision
goggles,and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work. The backpack's electricity-generating
feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer's load now devoted to spare batteries,report Rome
and his colleagues in the Sept.Science.
The backpack's electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal
frame.The frame sits against the wearer's back,and the whole pack moves up and down as the person
walks.A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator,
producing up to 7.4 watts.
Unexpectedly tests showed that wearers of the new backpack alter their gaits in response to the pack's
oscillations,so that they carry loads more comfortably and with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks.
Because of that surprising advantage,Rome plans to commercialize both electric and non-electric versions of
the backpack.
The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers,scientists,mountaineers,and emergency workers
who typically carry heavy backpacks.For the rest of us,power-generating backpacks could make it possible to
walk,play video games,watch TV,and listen to music,all at the same time.Electricity-generating packs
aren't on the market yet,but if you do get one eventually,just make sure to look both ways before crossing
the street!What is implied in"if you do get one eventually,just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!"?
A:You will be too excited to watch the traffic.
B:Enjoying electronic devices while walking may invite traffic accidents.
C:It is not possible for you to get such a backpack.
D:It is wise of you to have such a backpack.答案：B解析：第一段告诉我们，因为背包可以装许多东西，所以可以将双手解放出来做其他事情。
第二段的第一句说，Lawrence C.Rome及其同事们发明的这种背包，当背着背包走路时，会有电能产生；该段最后一句告诉我们，背包的这种性能可减少背包的重量，因为不必携带备用电池。
“springs”在此是“弹簧”的意思。spring是一个多义词：泉水（A）、春天（B）、弹跳（C）。
第四段最后一句的意思是：Rome计划将这种背包商业化，即推向市场。A项不是Rome 的计划，C、D两项在文中均未提到。D项的意思是为背包做广告。
这个句子的字面意思是：如果你终于得到这样的背包，过马路时一定要两边都看看。 也就是说，不要因为同时玩着游戏，听着音乐、看着电视，太专注以致不注意来往车辆了。第三篇 本文主要介绍了一种预刚山体滑坡的设备。 -
第20题：
Questions 9~11 refer to the following information.
The daily changes of the market can lead investors astray. The ups and downs make the tendency to look at the portfolio’s performance frequently too tempting. This means investors are likely to perceive more risk, forgetting about their long term goals.
When investors log into their trading accounts they can see the potential gain or loss of all of their assets. They can also see the day change on assets which are coded gain and loss. However, it's believed that those who look less get more.
For instance, if you look at FTSE index from today to tomorrow there is a roughly 50% chance that it has gone up or down. If you look at it over a year you may find that 60%-65% of the time it is going up. And if you look over a five-year period you will find that 90% of the time it goes up.
What is the example trying to illustrate?A. Most investors log into their trading accounts every day.
B. The potential gain and loss of assets can be predicted.
C. The investors who seldom check daily changes may get more returns.
D. The potential growth rate of the portfolio is likely to be fixed.答案：C解析：根据题干关键词example，定位到第三段，通规第三段的例子，我们可以发现，查看账户的间隔时间越长，得到的利益通常越大，再结合第二段的最后一句“However，it's believed thatthose who look less get more.”（然而，人们认为查看账户次数越少的人得到的回报越大）可知Ｃ项正确。 -
