第1题：
Questions 61-65 are based on Passage Two:
Passage Two
As the 21st century begins, a number of leaders in politics, education, and other professions believe that the US must adopt some new values to go along with the old traditional ones. What new values should Americans adopt? This is a very difficult question to answer. Certainly, a greater value should be placed on the conservation of natural reasources; Americans should learn to use less and waste less. But conservation has never been a strong value to Americans, who have believed that their country offered an endless,abundant supply of natural resources.
Recently, progress has been made-more and more Americans are recycling their paper, cans,bottles,and other goods-but old wasteful habits died hard. Furthermore,the need to protect the environment may conflict with the need for jobs,as in the Northwest ,where conservationists battle lumber companies that want to cut down ancient redwood trees. A belief in the value of conservation is still compared with other American values; it can become stronger only as Americans see the need for it more clearly.
In addition,Americans may need to place a strong value on cooperation on a national scale to achieve important national objectives. The American idea of the national good has never been based on national cooperation but rather on the freedom of the individual, maintaining those conditions that provide the greatest freedom and prosperity for the individual .
It is far more difficult for Americans to accept shared sacrifice for the common good and wellbeing of the entire country. For example ,although the majority of Americans believe that it is extremely important to balance the national budget and reduce the deficit, they do not want to see cuts in government programs that benefit them personaliy.
The American value of competition also hinders the development of a spirit of national cooperation. Competition sometimes encourages feelings of suspicion rather than the mutual trust that is necessary for successful national cooperation. Although Americans often cooperate successfully on the local level-in neighborhood groups and churches, for example, on the national level, they may see themselves as part of an interest group that is competing with other interest groups for government funds. A request by the national government for shared sacrifice may be seen as coercive and destructive rather than voluntary and constructive. However, the demands for the 21st century may compel Americans to place a greater value on national cooperation to solve problems that affect them all, directly and indirectly.
The best TITLE of this passage could be ( ).
A. Which is Better, New Value or Old Value?
B. Conservation vs. Need for Jobs
C. The Need for New National Values
D. Cooperation and Competition
正确答案：C
C[解析]文章主要是讲新价值观的需要（第三、四段），而不是比较新旧价值观哪个更好，排除A项；B项只是在文章第二段有所涉及，排除；D项在文章第三、四段提到的目的是说明新国民价值观的需要，而不是单纯讨论合作和竞争，排除。 -

第3题：
资料：Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pingeon can learm to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s peronality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allports, an American psychologist, found nearly18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types——people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.
We learn from the passage that people classify a person into certain type according to_______A.his way of speaking and behaving
B.his way of acting and thinking
C.his learming and behavior
D.his physical appearance and his personality答案：D解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】classify a person; certain type;according to
【主题句】最后一段People have always tried to type each other.（人们总是试图把彼此分类。）；But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.（但我们能轻松地区别好人和坏人，因为这两种人在外貌和行为上都有不同之处。）
【解析】第4题问“人们根据什么把彼此归到某种类型？”。文章在结尾段谈到“人们总是试图把彼此分类”，出现了题干中关键词的近义词“classify…a certain type”（对应type）。最后一句说到，利用外貌和行为（个性）来区分好人和坏人，所以D选项“外表和个性”和原文信息一致，故为正确答案。A选项“说话和行为”；B选项“行动和思考”；C选项“学习和行为举止”，三个选项均和原文不一致。 -

C.people' s behavior can be easily described in words

第6题：
单选题The “Mozart problem”, as defined by the author, is that.Ait is difficult to understand Mozart’s letters and his music
Bthere is little connection between his personality and his music
CMozart gave us nothing of a clue about his music in his letters
Dhis music is quite different from that of Beethoven or Wagner
正确答案： B解析：
推断题。第四段第一句提到了Mozart Problem，指出“这就是我所说的因此Mozart Problem…”，可知Mozart Problem应在前文提及。第三段第一句提到“你无法明白驱动他的动力是什么，也无法理解从他体内呼之而出的乐曲”。接下来一句指出“at any rate useless, to seek for internal ones either”，可知人们难以从莫扎特的作品中寻求其动力，也无法将他的作品和他的性格联系起来。因此选B。 -
第7题：
单选题“Mozart’s can” underlined in Paragraph 2 refers to.Ahis human feelings can be understood
BMozart’s music can be analyzed carefully
Chis harmonies, rhythms, etc. can be separated from one another
Dhis musical language can be separated from his personality
正确答案： B解析：
推断题。第一段指出作曲家的语言都很难从精神和敏感性中分离出来，但同时提到“except by pedantic analysis…of the artist who happens to be expressing himself through them”。第二段第一句指出“但这恰好是问题所在；就我所知，莫扎特就能”，由此可知此处指莫扎特能将他的音乐语言同自己的性格分隔开来，故选项D为正确答案。 -

Bvaried
Cconsummate
Dhaughty
Epallid
正确答案： B解析：
这个参议院的自信和风度第一眼就能给人留下深刻的印象，可推测这个参议员是有魅力的。prepossessing“有魅力的；吸引人的”；varied“多变的；各式各样的”；consummate“至上的；完美的；圆满的”；haughty“傲慢的”；pallid“苍白的；暗淡的；无生气的”。 -
第10题：
单选题Language, culture, and personality may be considered _____ of each other in thought, but they are inseparable in fact.Aindistinct
Bseparate
Cirrelevant
Dindependent
正确答案： A解析：
句意：语言、文化和性格一般被视为相互独立的，但实际上它们是密不可分的。independent独立的，不相关联的，可作为inseparable的反义词，并可与of搭配使用，因此D为正确答案。indistinct不清楚的，模糊。separate分开的，个别的。irrelevant常指与讨论的话题无关，含有“离题”的意思，irrelevant一般后接介词to，因此也不符合该题要求。 -
第11题：

If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
