On May 1,2006,New York's Empire State Building celebrated its 75th birthday.When it was built in 1931 it was over 61 m taller than its nearest rival,the Chrysler Building,and at 381m remained the tallest in the world for 41 years,until the World Trade Center was completed in 1972- 1973.The story of the Empire State Building begins with two men's race to build the highest man-made structure in the world.
In 1889 the central feature of the World's Fair in Pairs was Gustav Eiffel's massive tower,constructed with wrought iron,and standing 300m high.Architects in the United States viewed this as something of a challenge,and by the early 20th century the race was on to erect taller buildings than ever before.Soon skyscrapers were springing up along the New York sky-line.In 1928 the founder of the Chrysler Corporation,Walter Chrysler,announced the building of a huge new skyscraper,taller than anything so far constructed in New York.It soon became clear that the new building was part of Chrysler's aim to challenge the motoring giant General Motors.So John Jakob Raskob,of General Motors,decided to race Chrysler to the top.The final height of Chrysler's building was kept secret until it was completed,so Raskob instructed his architects to construct the highest tower they could.Their architectural plans had to be modified as the Chrysler Building grew ever higher,but when it topped 77 stories the Empire State Building team knew that they could beat it.
No building project has yet exceeded the Empire State Building's record for speed of construclion.From the beginning of construction in March 1930 it took 410 days and approximately 7 million man-hours to build.It rose at an astonishing speed of 4.5 stories per week,thanks to careful planning and quality of work.The building was officially opened on May 1,1931,by President Hoover.

The New York's Empire State Building was constructed with such a high speed that workers fin-ished it within a year.

    第一篇

    What's NASDAQ?

    NASDAQ is a familiar but strange name for people.We often learn its news via different kinds of media,though quite a lot of people can not tell what exactly it means.
    NASDAQ,short for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations system,is one of the largest market in the world for stocks trading. The number of companies in NASDAQ is more than that of the other stock exchange in America,including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE)and the American Stock Exchange(AMEX).
    Most of the companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMEX.NASDAQ has become recognized as the home of new technology companies,especially computer and computer-related businesses.Trading on NASDAQ is initiated by stock brokers acting on behalf of their clients.The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock.
    Different from other stock exchange,NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place.Instead,its market makers can be found all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Since brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange,NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the-counter refers to the direct nature of the trading,as in a store where goods are handed over a counter.
    Since its foundation in 1971,the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator. As the world's first electronic stock market,NASDAQ long ago set a precedent for technological trading innovation that is unrivaled.Now poised to become the world's first truly global market,the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide.By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership.

    Which of the following is stated to be true?
    A:NASDAQ came into being in 1972.
    B:NASDAQ has been ready to become the world's first truly electronic global stock market.
    C:New York Stock Exchange is called an over-the-counter market.
    D:AMEX is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide.

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题是主旨概括题。题干是:这篇文章主要告诉我们什么?选D的依据是题目和各段的第一句,其中涉及了纳斯达克的名称、与其他股市的区别以及历史等,所以选项D有关纳斯达克的一般信息是正确答案。
    本题是细节推理题。题干是:从短文中可以推理出以下哪一项? 选C的依据是最后一段第一句:"Since its foundation in 1971, the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator"自1971年成立之日起,纳斯达克股票市场就成了产业的革新者。选项C纳斯达克已经做出了很多对股市的革新,与原文意思相符。
    本题是细节考查题。题干是:以下哪个说法是正确的? 选B的依据是最后一段第二句:"As the world's first electronic stock market..."。选项B纳斯达克已经准备好成为世界上第一个真正的全球电子股票市场,与原文意思相符。
    本题是细节考查题。题干是:谁是纳斯达克的创始人?选A的依据是第三段第三句:"Trading on NASDAQ is initiated by stock brokers acting on behalf of their clients." 纳斯达克的交易是通过代表客户利益的股票经纪人发起的。选项A代表客户利益的股票经纪人,与原文意思相符,是正确答案。
    本题考查考生结合上下文理解多义词意思的能力。题干是:纳斯达克是如何帮助成百上千家公司完成其市值的预期增长,同时也成功地、跨越式地实现公司股权的公众所有?全文的最后一句提到“By providing an efficient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership.“通过提供一个有效的融资环境,纳斯达克已经帮助成百上千家公司完成了其市值的预期增长,同时也成功地、跨越式地实现了公司股权的公众所有。所以选项B通过提供一个有效的融资环境是正确答案。

    根据句意,减少二氧化碳的排放量。the amount of意思是“……的数量”后可加不可数 名词。
    give off意思是“发出(气味、光、热、声音等)",符合句意。give away送掉,捐赠,分送; give lip放弃;give over(口语)住口,闭嘴。
    in favour of固定搭配,意思是“支持,赞成”,符合句意。
    power station意思是“发电站,发电厂”,符合句意。factory工厂;generation一代;一代 人;house房屋;家。
    however和hut都表示转折,意思是“然而;但是”。however可以位于句首、句中和句末; 位于句首时,要用逗号与句子其他部分隔开;位于句中时,其前后都要用逗号;位于句末时其前 用逗号分开。but总是位于所引出的分句之首,后面一般不使用逗号。although虽然,尽管;de-spite尽管。
    hundred前面可以加several表示不确指的“几百”,这是语法中的一个固定用法,其他的 儿个词用在此处都不合适。

    ________ (51)constructions appear. Here are three giant structures which are worthy of our admiration
    _______(52)they may have been surpassed by some more recent wonders.
    The Petronas Towers
    The Petronas Towers were the tallest buildings in the world when they were
    completed in 1999.
    ________(53)a height of 452 metres,the tall twin towers,like two thin pencils,
    dominate the city of Kuala Lumpur. At the 41 st floor,the towers are_________(54)by a bridge,symboli-
    zing a gateway to the city.The American architect Cesar Pelli designed the skyscrapers.Constructed of high-
    strength concrete,the building_______(55)around 1,800 square metres of office space on every floor.
    And it has a shopping centre and a concert hall at the base.Other_(56)of this impressive building
    include double-decker lifts,and glass and steel sunshades.
    The Millau Bridge

    the ________ (57)it was built,it was the world'S highest bridge,_________(58)over 340m at the
    highest point.The bridge is described as one of the most amazingly beautiful bridges in the world.It was built
    to _________ ( 59 ) Millau ' s congestion(拥堵)problems. The bridge was built to withstand the
    ________(60)extreme seismic(地震的)and climatic conditions. Besides,it is guaranteed for 120 years!
    The Itaipu Dam
    The Itaipu hydroelectric power plant is one of the largest constructions of its kind in
    the world. It
    _________(61)of a series of dams across the River Parana,_________(62)forms a natural
    border between Brazil and Paraguay.Started in 1975 and taking 16 years to complete,the construction was
    carried out as a joint project between the two________(63).The dam is well-known for both its electricity
    output and its size.In 1995 it produced 78% of Paraguay’s and 25% of Brazil’s_________(64)needs.
    In its construction,the amount of iron and steel used was equivalent to over 300 Eiffel Towers.It is a
    ________(65)amazing wonder of engineering.

    _________(62)
    A:what
    B:who
    C:that
    D:which

    答案:D
    解析:
    由前文的“the most ama2ing wonderg"及空前的“more”可推知答案。
    空前说这些巨大的建筑结构值得赞美,空后又说它们可能被更新的建筑奇观超越,前 后语意有转折,故选B。surpas。意为“超越”。
    with在这里表示伴随状况,指吉隆坡石油双塔有452米高。由后文的dominate(俯临) 可推知此处是说该建筑的高度,而不是指它建在高达452米的高地上,所以不能选D。选项 A、C放在这里则完全讲不通;很容易排除。
    由后文的by a bridge和上下文可知此处是说这两座塔由一座桥连接起来。故选D。
    由后文的office space可知此处是说吉隆坡石油双塔提供了很多办公空间。
    由后文的“double-decker lifts(双层电梯),and glass and steel sunshades(遮阳篷)”可知 这里是说这个建筑的特色。feature意为“特点,特色”。
    这里是说米洛大桥修建的时候,它是世界上最高的桥。故选C。
    reach表示“达到”,故B项符合语境。
    这里表示缓解米洛的交通堵塞问题。relieve意为“缓解”,符合语境。
    本文介绍的是世界上的建筑奇观,所以选most比较合适。
    consist of意为“构成”,是固定搭配。这里指伊泰普大坝由一系列坝构成。
    此处是一个定语从句,先行词是It(指伊泰普大坝),所以选which。
    前文说伊泰普大坝形成了巴西和巴拉圭的自然边界,所以这里应该是说伊泰普大坝是 两国间的联合项目。
    由上文中的“The dam is well-known for both its electricity output...”可推知答案,且根据 常识,大坝通常是防洪发电的,所以选B。
    前文从发电量、大小、使用钢铁量等方面介绍了伊泰普大坝的不同寻常,后面是amazingwonder之类的溢美之词,所以选D比较合适。

    McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.

    D

    McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    文章首段提到“Since its founding in 1948”,麦当劳成立于1948年,故A项正确;由“McDonald’s has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.”可知,麦当劳起初规模很小,而现在全球3万多个城市都有麦当劳的分店,故C、D两项正确。B项“麦当劳在全世界每个城市都有分店”过于绝对,首段只提到其在118个国家有分店。故本题选B。

    On May 1,2006,New York's Empire State Building celebrated its 75th birthday.When it was built in 1931 it was over 61 m taller than its nearest rival,the Chrysler Building,and at 381m remained the tallest in the world for 41 years,until the World Trade Center was completed in 1972- 1973.The story of the Empire State Building begins with two men's race to build the highest man-made structure in the world.
    In 1889 the central feature of the World's Fair in Pairs was Gustav Eiffel's massive tower,constructed with wrought iron,and standing 300m high.Architects in the United States viewed this as something of a challenge,and by the early 20th century the race was on to erect taller buildings than ever before.Soon skyscrapers were springing up along the New York sky-line.In 1928 the founder of the Chrysler Corporation,Walter Chrysler,announced the building of a huge new skyscraper,taller than anything so far constructed in New York.It soon became clear that the new building was part of Chrysler's aim to challenge the motoring giant General Motors.So John Jakob Raskob,of General Motors,decided to race Chrysler to the top.The final height of Chrysler's building was kept secret until it was completed,so Raskob instructed his architects to construct the highest tower they could.Their architectural plans had to be modified as the Chrysler Building grew ever higher,but when it topped 77 stories the Empire State Building team knew that they could beat it.
    No building project has yet exceeded the Empire State Building's record for speed of construclion.From the beginning of construction in March 1930 it took 410 days and approximately 7 million man-hours to build.It rose at an astonishing speed of 4.5 stories per week,thanks to careful planning and quality of work.The building was officially opened on May 1,1931,by President Hoover.

    Even the World Trade Center can not compete with the New York's Empire State Building with its height.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    文章第一段告诉我们,帝国大厦有381米高,比克莱斯勒大厦高61米。因此克莱斯勒大厦大约有320米高,这句话是正确的。
    第一段提到在世贸大厦建成之前,帝国大厦一直是最高的。所以本句的表述是错误的。
    文章第二段提到“美国的建筑师见到埃菲尔铁塔就觉得这是一种挑战,于是20世纪早期一场建造史上最高建筑的比赛开始了”,因此该句的表述是正确的。
    文章中仅仅提到克莱斯勒公司建成了克莱斯勒大厦,通用汽车公司建成了帝国大厦,并没有提及世贸大厦是谁建成的。因此选项C是正确的。
    文章第二段告诉我们帝国大厦是通用汽车公司为了与克莱斯勒公司竞争而建成的,因此本句表述是正确的。
    第一三段第二句作者告诉我们整个工程前后耗时410天,因此该句表述是错误的。
    文章并未提及美国9 ·11恐怖袭击事件对帝国大厦的影响,因此选项C 是正确的。

  • 第14题:

    The Empire State Building was conceived on a grander scale than previous skyscrapers.

    A:executed
    B:designed
    C:financed
    D:applauded

    答案:B
    解析:
    本句意思:帝国大厦的构思设计要比先前的摩天大楼规模更大。conceive意思是“构思”,与design(设计,构思)意思相近。execute执行,实行;finance为……提供资金;applaud赞成,赞同。

    11._________
    A:off
    B:away
    C:up
    D:over

    答案:A
    解析:
    固定搭配put the blame for…,表示“把……归咎于……”,所以B项put为正确答案。
    文中the world's temperatures前需要补充一个介词,表达“在全球范围内气温的上升”,increase in为固定搭配,意为“在……增加”,所以答案为A项ino。
    联系上下文,根据句意,显然作者要表达的是“以往任何时候”,因此选用ever。其他三项均不符合句意。
    固定搭配at risk,意为“濒临危险,处境危险”。
    习惯用法according to sb.表示“据某人所说”,显然本题应当选择D。
    根据句意,作者要举例子,习惯用法such as意为“比如,诸如”,因此选A。
    根据句意,作者举例子是按照递进的顺序,从飓风、干旱到排在后面的是更加严重的问题。strict“严格的”,strong“强烈的”,heavy“沉重的,巨大的”,只有severe“严峻的,严重的”符合句意,因此B是正确答案。
    根据句意,“导致世界各地的海平面上升”,所以在A和C之间选择。raise “举起,抬起,唤起”,为及物动词,rise表示“上升”为不及物动词,因此是正确答案。
    联系上下文,根据句意和选项,很容易理解是给政府施加压力,显然B项 pressure最为恰当。
    根据句意,“减少二氧化碳的排放量”,二氧化碳是不可数名词,因此A项 amount是正确答案。
    固定搭配,give off表示“排放(气体、液体、光)等”,文中表达的是排放二氧化碳气体,显然选A。而give away“泄露,分发”,give up“放弃”,give over“停止,交出”均不合适。
    固定搭配in favour of…,表示“支持……,赞成……”,所以选C。
    根据句意,作者表达的是“发电站”,为固定词组power station。
    联系上下文,上文说明很多科学家的想法,下文转而言另外还有一些科学家的想法,有转折之意,且空格在两句未完的话之间,因此根据习惯用法选择however。
    根据句意,“还需要等几百年”,several表示“几个”,符合句意。其他三个选项均不合适。

    Going Back to Its Birthplace

    No sporting event takes hold of the world's attention and imagination like the Olympic
    Games.The football World Cup fascinates fans in Europe and South America;baseball's
    World Series is required viewing in North America;and the World Table Tennis
    Championships attracts the most interest in Asia.
    But the Olympics belong to the whole world.Now,after travelling to 17 countries over
    108 years,the summer Games are returning to Athens,the place where the first modern
    Olympics was held.
    Participation in the Games is looked on not only as an achievement,but also as an
    honour. The 1 6 days between August 1 3 and 29 will see a record 202 countries compete,
    up from Sydney's 199.Afghanistan is back,having been banned from Sydney because the
    Taliban government didn't let women do sports.There is also a place for newcomers East
    Timor and Kiribati.
    A total of 10,500 athletes will compete in 28 sports,watched by 5.3 million ticket-
    paying viewers as well as a television audience of 4 billion.
    Athens is to use its rich history and culture to make the Olympics as special as
    possible.The Games will open with cycling events which start in front of the Parthenon and
    Acropolis monuments.The final event will be a historic men's marathon following the original
    route run by Phidippides in 490 BC to bring news of victory over the Persians.
    The ancient stadium at Olympia,first used for the Games nearly three centuries ago,
    will stage the shot put competitions.And the Panathenian Stadium,where the first modern
    Olympics was held,is to host the archery(射箭)events.
    If the well-known ancient sites deliver a great sense of history to the Games,the 39
    new venues add a modern touch to the city of Athens.The main Olympic stadium,with a
    giant glass and steel roof, is the landmark(标志)building of the Olympics.
    "We believe that we will organize a'magical'Games,"said Athens 2004 President
    Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki. "Our history with the Olympic Games goes back nearly
    3,000 years,and Athens 2004 could be the best ever."

    The Panathenian Stadium is the landmark building of Olympics.

    In its construction,the amount of iron and steel used was equivalent to over 300 Eiffel Towers.It is a
    ________(65)amazing wonder of engineering.

    _________(61)
    A:congigtg
    B:makes
    C:sets
    D:uses

    答案:A
    解析:
    由前文的“the most ama2ing wonderg"及空前的“more”可推知答案。
    空前说这些巨大的建筑结构值得赞美,空后又说它们可能被更新的建筑奇观超越,前 后语意有转折,故选B。surpas。意为“超越”。
    with在这里表示伴随状况,指吉隆坡石油双塔有452米高。由后文的dominate(俯临) 可推知此处是说该建筑的高度,而不是指它建在高达452米的高地上,所以不能选D。选项 A、C放在这里则完全讲不通;很容易排除。
    由后文的by a bridge和上下文可知此处是说这两座塔由一座桥连接起来。故选D。
    由后文的office space可知此处是说吉隆坡石油双塔提供了很多办公空间。
    由后文的“double-decker lifts(双层电梯),and glass and steel sunshades(遮阳篷)”可知 这里是说这个建筑的特色。feature意为“特点,特色”。
    这里是说米洛大桥修建的时候,它是世界上最高的桥。故选C。
    reach表示“达到”,故B项符合语境。
    这里表示缓解米洛的交通堵塞问题。relieve意为“缓解”,符合语境。
    本文介绍的是世界上的建筑奇观,所以选most比较合适。
    consist of意为“构成”,是固定搭配。这里指伊泰普大坝由一系列坝构成。
    此处是一个定语从句,先行词是It(指伊泰普大坝),所以选which。
    前文说伊泰普大坝形成了巴西和巴拉圭的自然边界,所以这里应该是说伊泰普大坝是 两国间的联合项目。
    由上文中的“The dam is well-known for both its electricity output...”可推知答案,且根据 常识,大坝通常是防洪发电的,所以选B。
    前文从发电量、大小、使用钢铁量等方面介绍了伊泰普大坝的不同寻常,后面是amazingwonder之类的溢美之词,所以选D比较合适。

    3. part→parts 这里指到达世界的各个地方,因此用复数parts。
    4. with 此处and连接两个并列的介词宾语,cargo前不需加with。
    5. have→had 主句为过去时态,故从句与其保持一致,也用过去时。
    6. 1600s, ∧ Dutch→a 此处的Dutch表示“荷兰人”,表示泛指的一个荷兰人,前面应加不定冠词a。
    7. most→more 这里讲到这艘名为flyboat的船可以搭载很多货物,后面提到“they could do more trading”,由此可以判断出,是因为它能搭载更多货物,所以它能做更多生意,用more。
    8. against→about 从“It was not long before there were Dutch colonies in the Americas, in Africa……”可知贸易的发展带来了新的殖民地的产生,因此用bring about。bring against表示“对…采取…的行动”。
    9. the 在城市、国家、大学、人名、大多数地名等专有名词前,不加冠词。
    10. ruled→rule help sb. do为固定用法,表示“帮助某人做某事”。
