He had an increasingly uneasy feeling about his answer to the question.A:difficult B:worried C:anxious D:unhappy

第1题：

_____________. That was five years ago and he has no regrets about his new direction. “My previous work didn’t have an artistic element to it, whereas this is exciting and creative,” he says. “I really enjoy the design side.”

［A］Graham has become increasingly busy, supplying flat-packed weathervanes to clients worldwide.

［B］Graham decided to concentrate his efforts on a weathervane business. He had served an apprenticeship as a precision engineer and had worked in that trade for 15 years when he and his wife, Liz, agreed to swap roles—she went out to work as an architectural assistant and he stayed at home to look after the children and build up the business.

［C］Last month, a local school was opened with his galleon ship weathervane hoisted above it.

［D］“For centuries, weathervanes have kept communities in touch with the elements, signaling those shifts in wind direction that bring about changes in the weather,” he explains.

［E］Graham has no plans for expansion, as he wants to keep the business as a rural craft.

［F］Graham has now perfected over 100 original designs. He works to very fine detail, always seeking approval for the design of the silhouette from the customer before proceeding with the hand-cutting.

正确答案：B

本题考查的知识点是：上下文的衔接

本题空格上文是文章的前三段。前两段介绍了主人公格雷汉姆是制作风向标的手工艺者，他为顾客特制不同于传统设计的风向标。第三段提到，格雷汉姆做的第一个风向标引起了朋友的兴趣，也让他自己意识到了商机的存在。空格下文即第五段第一句提到，“那是五年前的事了”。与上文衔接，空格处应继续围绕格雷汉姆从事风向标的制作展开论述。与下文衔接，空格处应论述五年前的情况。因此［B］正确。其中第一句话“格雷汉姆决定把精力投入到风向标生意上”与上文论述的“发现商机”衔接紧密，后面部分出现的“15 years”与下文“five years ago”相呼应。

第2题：

George is going to talk about the geography of his country, but I’d rather he_______ more on its culture.

A.focus

B.focused

C.would focus

D.had focused

正确答案：B

第3题：

He looked uneasy and refused to answer questions.

A:difficult
B:worried
C:anxious
D:unhappy

答案：C

解析：

本句意思：他看起来很紧张，并拒绝回答问题。difficult的意思为“困难的”;worried的意思为“担心的”;anxious的意思为“焦虑的，不安的”;unhappy的意思为“不开心的”。uneasy的意思为“心神不安的，忧虑的”，和anxious的意思接近。

The Mind-Body Connections

Norman Cousins was a famous American magazine editor. In 1964,he returned from an overseas trip
and then became very ill.In the hospital,he had a terrible pain and couldn't move his body.Doctors told
him he had a serious disease called ankylosing spondylitis（强直性脊柱炎）and said he had only 1 chance in
500 of surviving. They gave him powerful drugs,but his condition only got worse.
Cousins had read about a theory that negative emotions can harm your health.He believed that positive
emotions were good for one's health,and he decided to try an experiment.He would fill his days with good
feelings and laughter and see if that might improve his condition.
He left the hospital and moved into a hotel room.There,he got a large supply of funny TV programs and
copies of old Marx Brothers movies and cartoons.He also hired a nurse to read funny stories to him.His plan
was to spend the whole day laughing and thinking about happy things.On his first night in the hotel,Cousins
found that laughing at the movies helped his body produce chemicals that reduced pain.For the first time in
weeks,he could sleep comfortably for a few hours.Every time the pain came back,he watched another
funny movie and laughed until he felt better.
Over time,Cousins was able to measure changes in his body with blood tests.He found that the harmful
chemicals in his body decreased at least 5 percent every time he watched a funny movie.After a short time,
he was able to stop taking all of his medications.Finally his condition improved so much that he could go
back to work.
Cousins later wrote a book about how laughter and happiness helped him to survive a deadly illness.
Many people didn't believe his story and said that his doctors were wrong about his disease.But since then,
research has found that emotions do have a strong effect on physical health,and experiments found that
laughter can help to reduce pain.Scientists today are working to understand the ways that our minds affect
our bodies.

Cousins spent a lot of time laughing every day.

由文章第一段的最后一句话“They gave him powerful drugs , but his condition only got worse.”可知，医生开的药只让他的情况变得更加糟糕，通过下文的叙述可知，Norman Cousins 的病是经愉悦心情的影响而好转的，故选B。
由文章的第二、三段可知，Norman Cousins之所以看电影是因为他在读过一个消极情绪影响健康的理论，他决定用切身的实践来验证愉悦的心情能改善健康状况。他看电影是让自己发笑，保持好心情。
由文章第三段的内容可知，Norman Cousins的计划是花上一整天的时间大笑，想象愉快的事情；他找很多有趣的电视节目和许多喜剧电影和卡通作品，甚至还请了一位护士给他读滑稽故事。因此他一天中大部分时间在笑声中度过，故选A。

问答题

In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summery below by choosing a maximum of three words from the passage to fill in each of the blanks 51-5.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.　　For many years after he formed his Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein visited many universities in different cities where he gave talks about it. He had his own chauffeur who drove him to where he was to give the talk. The chauffeur sat at the back of the room while he was giving his lecture, and then drove him home.　　One day, the chauffeur said to Einstein, “Professor, I have heard you give your talk so many times that I know every word of it.” “Do you?” Einstein said with a smile. “Let’s find out, shall we? You give my next talk for me. Nobody knows what I look like where we’re going. I’m just a name to them.” Just before they reached the university where Einstein was to give his talk, he changed places with his chauffeur.　　The chauffeur’s memory was excellent and he was able to give Einstein’s talk exactly as Einstein gave it. He did not understand a word he was saying, but this did not seem to matter. Then, as he was leaving the university, one of the teachers who had been at the talk came up to him.　　“Professor Einstein,” he said. “That was a most interesting talk. I’d be grateful if you would answer a question.” The chauffeur hurried on. “I’m sorry,” he said, “but I’m late for my next meeting.”　　“I’ll walk with you,” the teacher said. “I want to talk to you about the problem.” The teacher walked along beside the chauffeur and asked him to solve a very difficult mathematical problem.　　The poor chauffeur couldn’t understand the problem, let alone attempt an answer. He did not know what to say. Then he had an idea. “It’s so simple,” he said. “Even my chauffeur could answer it.”　　He pointed to his car, where Einstein was standing, still wearing the chauffeur’s cap.　　“This man has a maths question,” he said to Einstein. “It’s so easy I’m sure even you can answer it.”　　Summary:　　Albert Einstein was a famous scientist who worked out the Theory of Relativity. He used to travel around the country with his chauffeur giving (1) on mathematics. His chauffeur knew his talk very well so Einstein asked him to give the talk at the next (2) where they did not know him. The chauffeur did well, but afterwards a teacher came up to him and asked him a difficult (3) .The chauffeur did not know the answer but he said, “This problem is so simple I’m sure my chauffeur knows (4) it.” Then he pointed to Einstein still standing (5) beside the car.

正确答案：
1.talks 文章第一话明确指出爱因斯坦经常带着他的司机到各地演讲。
2.university 由第二段最后一句话可看出他们是到大学做演讲。
3.mathematical problem 由第五段最后一句话可以看出那个老师问的是一道非常难的数学题。
4.how to solve could answer it也就是know how to solve it。
5.in his cap in his cap是wearing the chauffeur’s cap的另一种说法。

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I’m Roy , and this is my show. This is a television show for all families, and I know you’ll enjoy it.

Let’s start with a story. Once there was a proud pig on a farm . He thought he was the most important of all the animals on the farm. But it was not enough that he himself thought this: he had to be sure that other animals thought it, too. So he went up to a chicken and asked, “ Who is the most important animal on the farm?” The chicken answered, “ You are, Mr. Pig .” Then he asked a dog, and he got the same reply.

Next, he asked a cow. When the cow seemed uncertained of the right answer, the pig looked angry, and showed his teeth, “ Oh, you are, of course, Mr. Pig.” said the cow. “ Of course, ” the pig said, “ there is no doubt about it. ”

At last the pig asked a big horse the same question. The horse lifted one foot, rolled the pig over and placed his foot on the pig’s head. “ I think you know the answer now. ” said the horse.

The Theory of Everyone
　　If Stephen Hawking lives until the year 2017, he will have lived more than 50 years longer than his doctors expected. When he was a college student, doctors discovered that he had a rare disease. This disease causes a gradual disintegration(分解)of the nerve cells in the brain cells that regulate voluntary muscle activity. Death almost always occurs within two or three years.
　　Today Stephen Hawking cannot walk or speak. He cannot move his arms or his head. He cannot taste or smell anything. And yet this man is Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, a position held by the famous scientist Isaac Newton in 1669.
　　Hawking is often described as the greatest scientist since Albert Einstein, but to the world outside science, he is also known as the man who made scientific theory understandable. His book, A Brief History of Time, has sold over eight million copies.
　　He says that since he does not have to think about his body or do any of the things other men have to worry about, such as washing the car or working in the yard, he can dedicate all of his time to thinking. This puts him in the perfect position to find the answer to the question that he has dedicated his life to. His question is: Is there a complete theory of the universe and everything in it?
　　Despite his tremendous physical disabilities, he has already made some very important discoveries about the origin of the universe, how the universe holds together, and how it will probably end. He has also been able to explain the secrets of “black holes” in space. Now he is looking for a set of rules that everything in our universe must obey. He calls it the Theory of Everything. He thinks that someone will have found the answer within the next 20 years.
　　If Stephen Hawking is able to find his Theory of Everything, he will have given the world the opportunity to understand things that will change the whole nature of science and probably also the way we live.

由文章的第二、三段可知，Norman Cousins之所以看电影是因为他在读过一个消极情绪影响健康的理论，他决定用切身的实践来验证愉悦的心情能改善健康状况。他看电影是让自己发笑，保持好心情。
由文章第三段的内容可知，Norman Cousins的计划是花上一整天的时间大笑，想象愉快的事情；他找很多有趣的电视节目和许多喜剧电影和卡通作品，甚至还请了一位护士给他读滑稽故事。因此他一天中大部分时间在笑声中度过，故选A。
文中仅仅提及了Norman Cousins用电影和滑稽故事来使自己保持心情愉悦，并未提及哪一种更为有效，故选C。
由文章最后一段第二句“Many people didn ' t believe his story and said that...”可知，许多人都不相信Norman Cousins在自己所著的书中提到的经历，故选B。

Mr.Hollins,who interviewed her,was a young man about 24 in a blue suit.There was a hard?look in his eye and he talked very fast.He told her she would be required to stop men between the?ages of 21 and 50 and ask them several questions designed to determine what men think of deodor-ants（除臭剂）.The information was to be recorded and she would be paid according to the number?of complete interviews she had.
When Carol asked which factory the research was for,she was told that was not important.Last?of all,before she began she would have to attend a one-day training.Carol accepted.After the train-ing,which was only about how to write down the answers correctly in a form and how to put the ques-tions,Carol found herself in the center of town at 9:30 in the morning.She soon found out that get-ting the information was really not all that easy.
First,she stopped a man who refused to answer any questions because he had no time.Next,a?man told her it was none of her business whether he used deodorants or not.Then she interviewed a?man who was hard of hearing and,instead of answering her questions,began asking her all sorts of?his own.Finally,Carol found a young man with a pleasant smile on his face.He was coming towards?her slowly and seemed ready to talk.He looked surprised when she put her first question."I′m doing?a research,too.It′s about soap powders,"he said.
