参考答案和解析
答案:A
解析:
考查half作代词的用法。句意为“在这iLl作的人中,一半是法国人,一半是英国人”。half作代词时,其前一般不用定冠词,其后可以直接跟名词,也可以跟of短语,如half(of)thework,half(of)thegirls。题于的完整形式是“Half of the people who work here are French and half(of the people who work here alelEnglish.”。故选A。

  • 第6题:

    根据下面资料,回答
    Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
    In many countries, the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
    In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
    But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
    In the United States many people work in the centre of a big city ______________.

    A.while living on the faraway edge of the city
    B.and live there
    C.but live in another city
    D.but live far away out of the city

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题。根据第三段第四、五两句话“The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day.Many of them live in the suburbs of the city.far away from the industrial area and the city centre”可知A项正确。

    Practice 1  Healthy people with stressful jobs who work long hours but get little satisfaction from what they do have twice the risk of dying from heart disease as satisfied employees, according to a study.  Job stress has been known to trigger heart problems in people who already have cardiovascular disease. Now Finnish scientists have now shown that even in healthy people the pressures of work can take their toll.  Obesity, high blood pressure, lack of exercise, smoking and being overweight contribute to heart disease — a leading killer in many industrialized countries.  But Mika Kivimaki, of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, and his colleagues, who studied the medical histories of 812 healthy Finnish men and women in a metal industry company over 25 years, said job stress also plays an important role.  Workers who had the highest job-related stress levels at the start of the study were more than twice as likely to die of heart disease, according to the study published in The British Medical Journal.  Work stress involves too much work as well as a lack of satisfaction and feeling undervalued and unappreciated.  Many people work long hours but if the effort is rewarding the stress is minimized. Kivimaki said job pressure is damaging when being overworked is combined with little or no control, unfair supervision and few career opportunities.  The British Heart Foundation said the results support earlier research showing that people in jobs with low control, such as manual workers, could be at greater risk of heart disease than other employees.  "It is advisable for people to try to minimize levels of stress at work and for employers to allow people to have more control at work and to be rewarded for their successes," the foundation said in a statement.

    研究表明:在健康人群中,那些工作时间很长但是却对工作现状不满的人死于心脏疾病的几率是正常人的两倍。
    众所周知,对于心血管功能不好的人来说,太大的工作压力更容易引起心血管疾病。但最近芬兰科学家的研究结果告诉我们,即便对于健康人来说,工作压力仍有可能夺去他们宝贵的生命。
    在许多发达的工业化国家,心脏病是夺走人们健康的头号杀手,而引起心脏病的因素有很多,包括肥胖、高血压、缺乏锻炼、抽烟甚至体重超重等等。
    然而,在过去的25年里,芬兰职业卫生研究所米卡·基维迈基和他的同事们对芬兰一家金属公司的812名健康芬兰职工进行了长期的病史跟踪研究。结论是:工作压力过大同样也是导致心脏病发作的重要因素之一。
    基维迈基将自己的研究结果发表在《英国医学杂志》上,文中他提到,他在研究初期发现,工作压力过大的人群死于心脏病的几率是正常人的两倍之多。
    工作压力包含很多方面,如工作量过大、对工作感到不满意、或在工作中不得志等。
    有时经常会出现这样一种情况:许多人工作量也相当大,但是工作很有成效,这种情况下工作压力就会相对减轻。基维迈基说工作量过大的人如果遇上差劲的管理、糟糕的上司和黯淡的工作前景,工作压力就会骤增,对健康的破坏力也同时加强。
    英国心脏基金会认为基维迈基的这一调查与基金会早前的一项研究结果一致。在那份研究中他们得出的结论是:在工作控制较低的行业工作的人,如体力劳动者,得心脏病的几率就明显高于其他行业。
    基金会的一份文件中这样写道:建议人们平时在工作当中要量力而行,尽量将工作压力降到最小程度。同时雇主们也要尽量减轻员工的工作压力,改善管理体系并及时论功行赏。

    87年以前,我们的祖先在这大陆上建立了一个新的国家,它孕育于自由之中,并献身于一种理念,即所有人都生来平等。
    当前,我们正在从事一场伟大的内战。这场战争对于这个国家,或任何一个有这种主张和这种信仰的国家能否长久生存下去,都是一个考验。此刻,我们在这场战争的一个伟大的战场上集会。我们来到这里,把战场上的一部分土地奉献给在此为这个国家的生存而牺牲了自己生命的人,作为他们的永久安息之所。我们这样做,是十分合情合理的。
    可是,就更深一层意义而言,我们其实是不可能奉献这片土地,不可能使它成为圣地,也不可能把它变为人们景仰之所。那些在这里战斗过的勇士,活着的和死去的,已使这块土地神圣化了,远非我们微薄的能力所能改变。我们此时此刻所说的话,世人不大会注意,更不会长久记忆;然而勇士们在这里的所作所为,人们将永志不忘。倒是我们活着的人,应当献身于那些曾经在此作战的人们所英勇推动而尚未完成的工作。我们应该在此献身于摆在我们面前的伟大任务——由于他们的光荣牺牲,我们要更坚定地致力于他们毫无保留地为之作出最后贡献的事业——我们在此不能让他们白白牺牲:要使这个国家在上帝庇佑之下,获得自由的新生,要使这个民有、民治、民享的政府不会从地球上消失。

  • 第18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.
    According to Damaske,who are likely to be the happiest at home?

    A.Working mothers.
    B.Childless husbands.
    C.Childless wives.
    D.Working fathers.

    答案:B
    解析:
    细节题【命题思路】这是一道细节题。主要考查考生准确理解题干,精准定位,并能正确掌握定位信息,辨别干扰选项的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键信息“Damaske”定位到第二段第三、四句,即Damaske的观点。这两句提到“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work…,but more so for nonparents.”,即“研究发现是男人,而不是女人,在家比在工作中更高兴。更令人吃惊的是,这种情况对有无孩子都一样,尤其是对于没有孩子的人。”综合对比,确定B为最佳答案。【干扰排除】A、C项两项均为反向干扰,原文说的是男人比女人在家更快乐,故排除。根据该句“but more so for nonparents”可知D项错误,原文是没有孩子的男性,并非工作中的父亲。

    问答题
    Practice 1  In order to work here the foreigner needs a work permit, which must be applied for by his  1 employer. The problem here is that the Department of the Employment has the right to  2   or refuse these permits, and there is little that can be done about it. It would be extremely unwise for a foreign visitor to work without a permit, since anyone doing so is  3   to immediate deportation. There are some  4 to this rule, most notably people from the Common Market countries, who are  5 to work without permits, and who are often given temporary residence permits of up to five years. Some other people, such as doctors, foreign journalists, authors and others, can work without permits.  The problem with the act is not just that some of its rules are unfair but the way it is  6 , and the people who administer it.  An immigration official has the power to stop a visitor off these shores coming into the country. If this happens the visitor has the right to appeal  7   the Immigration Appeal Tribunal. While the appeals are being  8 , the visitor has no choice but to wait sometimes for quite a long time.  Critics of the law say that immigration officials treat the confused visitors badly, and appear to accept or reject them for no  9 reason. Which side of the political  10 you are on, there seems to be an urgent need for a good look at the Act, for it causes frequent argument, and in the eyes of many real injustice.[A] prospective   [B] for     [C] fence[D] to        [E] liable    [F] apparent[G] administered   [H] regulations [I] exceptions[J] employed     [K] considered  [L] grant[M] long-standing  [N] entitled   [O] exemption

    正确答案: 1.A  prospective。考 点:形容词。空格前为形容词性物主代词his,后面为名词,所以空格处应填入形容词。上文提到,为了能在这里工作,外国人需要有一张工作许可证,介词by后面跟的是动作的发出者,所以能申请许可证的是他/她未来的雇主。prospective employer表示的是“未来的雇主”,故答案为A项。
    2.L grant。考 点:动词。空格前为固定搭配have the right to“有权做……”,后面跟动词原形。该句中or表示选择,意为“或”“还是”,通常其连接的两种成分是不同的,甚至是对立的。工作许可证的申请有可能通过,也有可能不通过,or后面连接的是refuse,观察选项,与之意思相反的是grant“授予,允许”,符合句意,故应选L项。
    3.E liable。考 点:形容词。空格前为系动词be,空格后为介词to,分析句子结构可知该处应填入形容词。上文提到没有许可证工作是不明智的,接着since引导的从句解释原因,“这样做会被立即驱逐出境”。liable后面一般跟不理想的事情,即“易于产生某种(对主语)不利的后果”,常用于警告。be liable to sth.“应受处罚”,符合句意,故答案为E项。
    4.I exceptions。考 点:名词。该句中包含there be句型,且空格前有some修饰,故应填入名词。上文提到工作许可证的重要性,下文则讲到很多来自欧共体的人可以work without permits,所以他们是例外情况。exception例外(一般与“to”搭配),符合上下文语义,故选择I项。
    5.N entitled。考 点:动词。分析句子结构可知,该处应填入过去分词或形容词。上文提到欧共体的人是个例外,所以他们有权在无许可证的情况下也能工作。entitle使有……权利。be entitled to (do) sth.有权利做某事。故正确答案为N项。
    6.G administered。考 点:动词。空格前提到,问题不仅仅在于这些规定是否公平,the way it is…表示的是做某件事的方式,空格处应填入动词,it指代rule,做主语,所以应使用被动语态。空格后面一句使用的是动词administer,所以it做主语应使用过去分词administered。
    7.D to。考 点:固定搭配。appeal to“上诉”为固定搭配。该句表达的是如果这种情况发生了,游客有权上诉移民上诉法庭。选项中还包括介词for,构成短语appeal for,表示“恳求,请求”,不符合句意,应排除,故答案为D项。
    8.K considered。考 点:动词。根据空格前面的are being,可知该处表示的是现在进行时的被动语态,所以应填入过去分词。空格后提到来到这里的人别无选择,只能进行漫长的等待,所以空格处表示的是上诉正在被考虑中,故K项considered符合题意。
    9.F apparent。考 点:形容词。空格前提到批评该法案的人士称移民局官员对待那些不太明白这些法案的申请者很差劲,所以可以推测出他们会随意的决定是批准还是拒绝。apparent明显的。for no apparent reason为固定搭配,表示“无缘无故的;毫无来由的”,符合上下文内容,故应选择F项。
    10.C fence。考 点:固定搭配。on the fence意为“持观望态度,保持中立”,为固定搭配。
