Part III Reading Comprehension
In this age of equality, sameness between the sexes is emphasized as if differences have to mean problems. Well, differences can mean problems. but only when they are not properly understood.
Imagine Adam alone in the Garden of Eden and you will have an idea about the way many men feel today. If the major issue for women is overload in their life----balancing career, relationships, children, home ---- the crisis for men is loneliness and the loss of women. Twenty-five years ago, most men came home from work to a warm meal, a clean house, the devotion of a gentle wife. Now the majority of women work outside, they are no longer the full-time housewives as before, so men are feeling deserted and easily hurt.
Women get emotional support through a network of friends and family. Most men dont have such relationships; they are intimate only with their wives or lovers. As a result, any lessening of their partner’s attention may be thought of as rejection or abandonment.
Bobs wife Sandy has a full-time job, and he really prefers her bringing home extra income. Yet he also feels uneasy and troubled. "When I get home at the end of the day, wanting to have a talk with Sandy, he said, "She puts me of. First she makes dinner, then the kids need something, or a friend calls her. She talks with her sister, her girlfriends, her workmates, but not with me. I sometimes do feel abandoned and annoyed."
Since most men have difficulty admitting loneliness and hurt, they tend to become angry instead. Bobs constant complaints and criticism made Sandy confused and irritated. Eventually, they came up with a simple solution that met both Bob’s need for time and Sandys sense of responsibility to others. The first half-hour after arrived home from work was “theirs”, they would sit together and just talk to each other about everything they want to say.
51. Many men feel hurt and abandoned because _____________.
A) women think it’s unfair to stay at home doing housework
B) their wives are no longer gentle and caring to the family
C) the equality of men and women is strongly emphasized
D) most women have their own jobs and don’t have enough time and energy caring about men
52. Why do men care a lot about their coupler’s attitude towards them?
A) Because their differences can mean problems,
B) Because they dont have a network of friends and family,
C) Because they only want to have an intimate relation with their wives.
D) Because men lack confidence nowadays.
53. Which of the following statements about Bob and Sandy is true?
A) Bob doesnt wish Sandy to do a full-time job.
B) Sandy is too busy to have time talking with Bob.
C) Sandy puts Bob off since theres no common topic between them anymore.
D) Sandy feels equal to Bob now and no longer loves him as before.
54. What does the passage want to tell us?
A) Differences between men and women would certainly bring problems.
B) All human beings should be considered equal.
C) Only sameness could bring happiness to a marriage life.
D) Mutual understanding between men and women helps to solve problems.
Passage Two
Many people have the experience that getting up in the morning is so difficult and painful. This might be called laziness. But Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation to this, he has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that youre feeling “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologue as: "Get up, Tom! Youll be late for school again! The possible explanation to the trouble is that Tom is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening.
Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help a lot. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway, counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. However, if your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
55. According the passage, what might bring family quarrels to the end?
A) Stopping familiar monologues every day.
B) A sudden change of a family member’s energy cycle.
C) Being aware of energy cycles of other family members.
D) Trying to control the energy cycles of other member
56. If one wants to do better at his low point in the morning, he should_________.
A) change his energy cycle B) go to bed earlier the day before
C) try to overcome his laziness D) get up earlier than usual
57. What does the sentence “get off to slow start which saves your energy” mean?
A) It will help you to control your temper early in the day.
B) It will enable you to concentrate on your routine work.
C) It will help to keep your energy for the whole day’ s work.
D) It will keep your energy cycle under control all day.
58. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A) Dr Klriman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.
B ) Habit can help people adjust to their own energy cycle.
C) Each person has his own energy cycle.
D) Getting up with a slow start helps us to save energy for work.
Passage Three
A person with a flat, dull voice which neither rises nor falls sounds like a flat and dull person. But he or she may not be! While we can’t deny the fact that people can give the impression that they are bored, anxious friendly or angry just by the sound of their voice.
A French friend of mine once said to me. " Your accent in French is excellent but you will never sound like a Frenchman until you put all your heart into your voice. It is a pity because you are a lively person and yet you don’t sound lively to a Frenchman!"
We learn the grammar and vocabulary and even the correct pronunciation of the foreign language, but we may forget the important emotional effect of the music of our speech. For British people, the intonation of language is attractive. Thats to say, the rise and fall in the sound of our voice when we speak really matters. Its unfortunate that the intonation of some other countries can often communicate the wrong meaning.
British people sometimes feel offended because they think the other person is unfriendly even if he has spoken a perfect English sentence! And this failure of communication can also happen between British people themselves.
If you want to communicate successfully with another person, you may have to think about the music of your own voice. Especially when you meet someone from a different part of your country or from another country, you should be careful! Don’t judge them only by their intonation.
59. What does the writer want to show through the example in the second paragraph?
A) To learn a foreign language well, we must learn the sound and pronunciation well
B) Grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation are not the only important elements in learning a foreign language.
C) A person with a flat, dull voice will not give other good impression.
D) In learning a foreign language, we must talk to the native speakers frequently.
60. The word "music" in the third paragraph means___________.
A) intonation B) rising tone
C) sweet voice D) falling tone
61. British people sometimes feel offended while talking with others because .
A) they can’t understand what the other person says
B) the other person says something rude
C) the languages they speak are quite different
D) they misunderstand the other persons words
62. What is the main idea of the passage?
A) To communication with others successfully, we must know music well.
B) We cant simply judge a person by his voice, nor can we neglect the intonation.
C) Many listeners will not pay attention to the sound of ones voice.
D) Its not easy for people from different countries or parts to communicate.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Most American people hate repeating the same work endlessly, especially those who live in West America. They try their best to make their life colorful and their work interesting. If they have
to do the same regular work, they’ll try to do it in different ways. Repetition and monotony ( 單 調(diào) )
are what they cant stand.
In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hats—hats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats.
One day there came a young tourist who entered a hat shop and found a very nice hat that cost five dollars. He said to the shop-keeper,” If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, Id like to buy two hundred hats of this style.” “No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style.”
“Hows that?” The tourist could not understand.
“Well,” said the shop-keeper, “if you buy only one hat of this style, I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty. However, it will almost bore me to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So at least you pay me double price.”
61.We can learn from the story that .
A.only the straw hats of the same style were sold
B.most American people dont want to do the same work again and again
C.the straw hats were sold only in the mountain village
D.the price will be cheaper if you buy a lot of hats of the same style

63.The answer of the shop-keeper really made the tourist .

64.Why did the shop-keeper ask the tourist to pay him double price?
A.Because the shop-keeper couldnt make two hundred hats of the same style.
B.Because the shop-keeper couldnt stand repeating the same work endlessly.
C.Because the shop-keeper didnt want to sell him so many hats.
D.Because the shop-keeper hadnt enough straw to make the hats.
63.“It will bore me almost to death” in Paragraph 5 means that .
A.it would be too expensive for the shop-keeper
B.the shop-keeper was bored and would die at once C the shop-keeper was dying
D. it would be too boring for the shop-keeper
Passage Two
It is exciting to apply for a job that really appeals to you. In making your application, there are a number of points for you to observe.
In your letter of application, say just enough to give a good account of yourself without being wordy. If you are answering an advertisement, any information for which it asks must, of course, be given. This will usually cover your academic record and any further education and training. You may also be asked to give the names of one or two persons to supply references. For this purpose
you should choose people who know you well enough to vouch(保證) for your character and ability;
and to be polite, you should seek in advance their permission to be named as referees.
It will depend on circumstances how much you can carefully add about yourself. Your purpose is to bring to the notice of the employer any good reason why you rather than any of the other applicants should be chosen for the job. Therefore, if you feel you have any special skill or talent for the work, or particular interest in the line of business. let it be known.
Finally, there is your use of language. You cannot go wrong if you keep your sentences and paragraphs short, making sure the sense is clear and well-expressed. Choose plain words so long as they convey the meaning.

Passage Three
Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for a little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, and then he tested their hearing ability. He found that the students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of people in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these people face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.

Passage Four
Ancient people had little idea of the nature of the earths surface. But if they lived on the seashore, they knew that there was land and sea.
People who lived near the sea noticed that there were two kinds of land. There were, first, little pieces of land surrounded by sea. One Latin word for “sea” is “salum”, which means “salt”. This is
because sea water, unlike rain-water, contains salt—it is salty. So a piece of land in the sea was “in
salt” in Latin, and this became isle in English.
Then there was another kind of land that went on and on. It was “continuous land, and so became known as continent in English from the Latin “continēnts” meaning continuous. In English, we also speak of a continent as the mainland (“main” comes from the Latin “magnus” meaning “ great”), as opposed to island( isle-land).
To the ancient Greek, there seemed to be three continents separated by sea. The Mediterranean Sea, in fact, gets its name from the Latin “medius” (middle) and “terra” (land). It was a sea that lay
in the middle, with three bodies of land around it. The three continents—Asia, Europe and Africa—
are actually connected by land. Africa and Asia are connected by only the small Sinai Isthmus, from the Greek “isthmus” meaning “a narrow passage”, but Europe and Asia are connected by land for a thousand miles or more and it is customary to speak of Europe as a continent. Many geographers speak of the landmass of Asia plus Europe as Eurasia, and Eurasia plus Africa is sometimes called the World Island. The three together are surrounded by sea, so they form a large island, and they contain about 85 percent of the earths population.
76.People in ancient times knew .

Learning English has been almost a painful experience for me, one that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Not only did learning English teach me the value of hard work, but also gave me
insights( 領 悟 ) into another culture. The most exciting result of having learned English is that I am
able to communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is my favorite activity, so the newly learned language allows me to meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new and unforgettable friendships.

College Students Doing Part-Time Jobs
There are many advantages for college students to have part-time jobs. First, it can help the students to realize that if they want to be successful, they need to be hard-working. Next, doing part-time jobs can help the students to learn about time management. Then, doing part-time jobs can provide the students opportunities to put what they have learned in class into practice, which, in turn, will help them learn about what exactly is needed in real jobs.
However, there may also be some disadvantages. Firstly, the students study hours may be shortened depending on circumstances. They may not have enough time to do their homework or study for their examinations. Secondly, some students may become too preoccupied with making money. They may not be willing to commit as much time as needed to their study. The consequences may include failure in examinations or non-graduation in the end.
As far as I am concerned, college students can take part-time jobs as long as they can keep a good balance between their study and their part-time jobs.

I am currently living in Vibo Valentia in Southwest Italy. Most people here are very friendly and like to chat anywhere and anytime. Every time my work colleagues and I say- goodbye to each other? I seem to be the only one rushing to leave to get to my next appointment. Everyone else stays even after they have said their goodbyes more than twice.
At first, I couldnt understand why my colleagues would continue chatting after they had formally said goodbye. However, after having spent over a week here, I have learn that staying behind to chat is the way local people show they are interested in you and that is quite nice!

Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.
Humans have long turned to the dog for its nose, especially in its ability to hunt, track missing people, and search for drugs- But there is a new challenge： Bomb-detecting dogs now have to learn to find the increasingly common Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)(臨時組裝的爆炸裝置）that can be assembled from materials not dangerous by themselves. “So we’re now asking dogs not just to find a needle in a haystack (干草堆）一 now the problem is more like saying to the dog we need you to find any sharp object in the haystack,” says Clive Wynne，a professor at Arizona State University.
Wynne directs the study that develops methods to train dogs to identify a wide variety of ingredientsthat could be used to make bombs. The dogs not only have to detect whether explosive materials are present, they also have to determine if the chemicals they smell could combine to form an explosive mixture. The dogs need to learn that when combined with other elements, even sugar could be used in a bomb. “we want the dogs to grasp the concept of ‘this might explode’”.
Wynne says the big problem is that IEDs are just that---improvised and completely unsteady. A dog’s nose can be over a thousand times more powerful than a human’s nose. Some agencies spent billions of dollars over the last 15 years trying to create a technical replacement for the nose of the dog, and at the end of all that they just had to admit “No, we cannot get close”. Wynne thinks his team can develop bomb sniffing (嗅，聞）dogs that can detect IEDs at a small part of that price. All it takes is patience.
24.According to the passage，the new task of bomb-detecting dogs is to learn______.
A. to detect materials that can be used to make bombs
B. to recognize materials that look like bombs
C. to search for various needles in a haystack
D. to identify drugs in a large pile of materials
25.The word “ingredients”（Line 2，Para. 2) is closest in meaning to_______.
A. methods B. dangers C. chances D. elements
26. According to the passage，a dog’s nose______?
A. Can’t be improved
B. is not replaceable
C. can be as powerful as a human nose
D. is equal to a technical machine
27. Why is it difficult to train dogs to detect IEDs, according to Wynne?
A. Dogs are unwilling to sniff IEDs.
B. IEDs can be replaced by other things.
C. It’s too expensive to get dogs trained
D. IEDs can be made from various materials.
Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.
Food writer Bee Wilson has a message of hope for parents struggling to get their children to eat vegetables: “As parents, we have a far greater power than we think we have to form children’s tastes,” says Wilson.
In her new book, First Bite, Wilson examines how genetics(遺傳), culture, memory and early feeding patterns contribute to our food preferences. She says that a child’s ability to judge good food can be formed even before birth. And this insight can be helpful for parents who want their children to eat well and healthfully.
“One of the main things we know about taste is that liking is a consequence of familiarity，so the things that our mothers eat，even before we’re born，affect the way well respond to those flavors. When we later encounter them, they seem familiar. “There have been remarkable studies done showing that if someone eats a lot of garlic when shes pregnant, the baby will grow up to love garlic.
Wilson, a mother of three, notes that babies are most open to trying new flavors between the ages of four and seven months. But, Wilson adds, even if parents miss introducing a food during the so-called “flavor window”，all hope is not lost.
“It not that the flavor window is shut and we can never learn to love bitter green vegetables. Humans can learn to love new flavors at any age,” Wilson says. “One of the amazing things about our relationship with food is how malleable (可塑的）it is. But we dont usually as adults give ourselves an opportunity to change.”
28.According to Bee Wilson，a child’s food tastes________.
A.cant be changed by anyone
B.can be influenced by parents
C.will not develop even if he eats a lot of vegetables
D.will stay the same even if he eats well and healthfully
29.The word “preferences”（Line 2，Para. 2) is closest in meaning to_____.
A.ability B. flavor C. liking D. taste
30.Which life period of a baby is referred to as the flavor window?
A. The time between 4 and 7 months of age.
B. The period before a baby is 3 years old.
C. The days when a baby tries new flavors.
D. The months when a baby eats vegetables.
31.What can we conclude from the passage?
A. We can never learn to love bitter green vegetables.
B. We can always change our food tastes if we choose to.
C. When the flavor window is shut, our food taste is formed.
D. Parents often miss the chance to introduce foods to kids.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Earth Day was the brainchild of Gaylord Nelson, a United States Senator from Wisconsin. After seeing the environmental destruction caused by the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, California, Nelson wanted to find a way to raise public consciousness of the need for greater environmental protections.
The result was the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. On that day, over 20 million Americans took part in a variety of rallies(集會），meetings，demonstrations and activities， all targeted at highlighting the need for protecting Earth and our environment for future generations. Thousands of colleges and universities also participated. Members of different groups learned they shared common values.
Earth Day was a tremendous success. It has now become a global phenomenon. In 1990，for example, over 200 million people in 141 countries were organized to bring environmental issues, especially recycling, to the forefront of global consciousness. Today, Earth Day campaigns continue to publicize important environmental issues, such as global warming, dean energy, and recycling.
If you’re wondering what you can do to make Earth a better place，participating in Earth Day activities is a great place to start- By attending a rally，meeting, or demon-station, you can learn about the environmental problems facing our planet. To really make a difference, though, you need to turn the knowledge you gain into action. Volunteering for an environmental group or helping to organize an Earth Day event to educate others is one way to make a difference. More importantly, however, you can make changes in your daily life. Here are a few suggestions：
Conserve energy and natural resources! Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Take shorter showers. Turn down the thermostat(恒溫器）in winter and turn it up during the summer.
Plant a tree! Trees produce oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the air. They will benefit you and future generations.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle! The amount of trash humans produce increases each year.
Do your part by reducing the amount of stuff you buy，reusing the stuff you already have, and recycling as much as possible.
32. Earth Day was set up in order to______.
A.help California recover from the 1969 oil spill
B.help Nelson realize his dream of becoming a senator
C.remember those who suffered greatly in the oil spill
D.improve the publics awareness of environmental protection
33. What happened on April 22, 1970, according to the passage?
A.Different groups met to discuss environmental issues.
B.Thousands of college students went out into the streets to protest.
C.Environmental activists targeted at governments.
D.Millions of Americans participated in environmental protection activities.
34.In 1990, Earth Day campaigns focused on publicizing_____?
A. recycling B. clean energy
C. the effects of global warming D. the benefits of cycling
35.To make Earth a better place, you can start from______.

B. learning more about Earth
C. getting involved in Earth Day campaigns
D. volunteering to teach in schools

Part III Reading Comprehension (2×20)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage1
Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.
Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.
Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.
61. Many post-80s couples cant go to the movies, shop or attend parties because .
A .they have to look after their kids B. they have to look after their parents

Passage2
It is a terrible illustration of man s weakness to nature ,and the tsunami(海嘯) that struck the Japanese coast in March, 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.
Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warming systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international warming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.
But an early warming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it s close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves
created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.
66. The first paragraph tells us that .
A. man can easily defeat the nature
B. tsunamis take place only in Japan
C. man s ability to cope with natural disasters is limited
D. the tsunami-damage in Japan is not so terrible
67. To prevent tsunami-damage, the following measures can be taken EXCEPT
A. designing firm buildings
B. developing early-warning systems
C. developing evacuation strategies
D. keeping the public unaware of the seriousness of tsunamis
68. According to the passage , which of the following can cause a tsunami ?
A. Storms. B. Massive waves.
C. Underwater earthquakes. D. Floods
69. When a tsunami happens, the best course of action for people is to .
A. listen to radio and television broadcasts for information
B. get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible
C. stay where they are
D. rely on the warning systems
70. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The total prevention of tsunamis is possible.
B. Rich countries are less affected by tsunamis than poor countries.
C. Approaching tsunamis can possibly be picked up by sensors.
D. An early warning system is effective when a tsunami is close by.
Passage 3
Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.
The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (營養(yǎng)不良) and heat-related health problems.
But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.
Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.
Roger Pielke Jr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受傷害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”
However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.
In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing
the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.
71.What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?
A．Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.
B．Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.
C．Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.
D．Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.
72. What do we learn about the Forum’s report from the passage?
A．It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.
B．It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.
C．It was warmly received by environmentalists.
D．It caused a big stir in developing countries.
73. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum’s report?
A．Its statistics look embarrassing.
B．It is invalid in terms of methodology.
C．It deserves our closest attention.
D．Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.
74. What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?
A．Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.
B．It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.
C．It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.
D．Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.
75.What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?
A．How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.
B．How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.
C．How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.
D．How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.
Passage 4
Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.
But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.
Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share―this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.
As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate (垂涎) over the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care.
As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.
Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.
76. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?
A.It is a kind of iced water.
B. It is just plain tap water.
C .It is a kind of bottled water.
D .It is a kind of mineral water.
77. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water (Line 4 Para2), Von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that ________.
A .plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinking
B .bottled water is clearly superior to tap water
C. bottled water often appeals more to dogs taste
D. dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste
78. The-fancier brands (Line 3 Para 5) refers to ________.
A. tap water from the Thames River
B. famous wines not sold in ordinary stores
C.PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani
D. expensive bottled water with impressive names
79. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?
A. Bottled water brings in huge profits.
B. Competition from the wine industry is intense.
C. Most diners find bottled water affordable.
D. Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable.
80. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular?

B. It is considered healthier.
C.It appeals to more cultivated people.
D. It is more widely promoted in the market.

Passage3答案解析：
71.B 細節(jié)題。由第一段Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.可知B正確
72.A 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.
可知A正確。
73.B 細節(jié)題。由第五段2,3,4行the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受傷害的) regions.說明他認為他的研究是無效的。故B正確。
74.D 細節(jié)題。由根據(jù)第五段最后兩行” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”以及it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. 可知D正確

本文主要講述了氣候變暖的幾位專家的觀點，并展開了議論。本文的障礙在于詞匯方面，考生要能夠在上下文的語境中猜測生詞的意思，同時要有很強的歸納總結能力，從從字里行間中推斷出對方所持的觀點。
Passage4答案解析：
這篇文章分析了瓶裝水在北美十分流行的原因。
文章開篇引題，以Iceberg Water為例，說明了瓶裝水在北美的火熱流行程度，為后文分析其流行的原因做好鋪墊。第一段只有一句話，作者把reach謂語提前，使用倒裝結構對Iceberg Water達到流行頂點這一事實進行強調(diào)，這樣Iceberg Water置于句末，借以使用非限制性定語從句對這種瓶裝水的來源進行描述。
第二段馬上指出了瓶裝水流行的原因，但這是借一位瓶裝水專家之口來指出媒體普遍的觀點：my dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water，含義是瓶裝水明顯優(yōu)于自來水。第二段的作用無疑是豎靶子以備批駁，第三段緊接著對這種觀點進行了分析，并用源自泰晤士河的自來水比幾種名牌瓶裝水口感更佳為例進行了反駁。
在接下來的四段中，作者具體分析了瓶裝水流行的真正原因。第四段有承上啟下的作用，把百事和可口可樂公司作為例子，既以兩家公司的瓶裝水25%來源于自來水的事實繼續(xù)反駁瓶裝水優(yōu)于自來水的觀點，又以兩家公司對瓶裝水市場的重視引出瓶裝水流行的真正原因。
第五、六段論證了售賣方式是瓶裝水流行原因之一的觀點，最后一段指出除售賣方式之外的其他原因(our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity)。
76. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?
A) It is a kind of iced water.
B) It is just plain tap water.
C) It is a kind of bottled water.
D) It is a kind of mineral water.(C)
本題問從文章可知Iceberg Water指的是什么。
文章在開頭即提到了Iceberg Water，講到它在北美的人氣達到了新的高度，其源頭是取自取自加拿大紐芬蘭的冰川。從全篇來看，本文以瓶裝水為論述的核心，說明其在當今社會的火爆程度，這與開頭所述Iceberg Water人氣達到新高的敘述意義一致。而在提到Iceberg Water之后的第二段，文章緊接著介紹了一位瓶裝水專業(yè)人士對瓶裝水流行原因的看法。由此來看，Iceberg Water很可能是一種瓶裝水，文章以它來開頭有引出論題的作用。
A說是一種冰水，B說是一種普通自來水，C說是一種瓶裝水，D說是一種礦物質(zhì)水。
C是正確答案。
77. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water” (Line 4 Para. 2), von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that ________.
A) plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinking
B) bottled water is clearly superior to tap water
C) bottled water often appeals more to dogs taste
D) dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste
這句話的意義必須結合上下文來理解。這句話出現(xiàn)在第二段，這一段的意思是：
Wiesenberger享有飲用水大師的稱號，且是北美不多的幾位飲用水評論家之一。他小時候曾居住在意大利、法國和瑞士較大的城市中，在這些地方，人們每天都要消費瓶裝水。他在那時就訂了一份飲用水雜志，留心記下他最喜愛的瓶裝水牌子�！拔业墓范寄芊殖銎垦b水跟自來水的區(qū)別�！彼f道。
從這段描述中可以看出，這位飲用水大師自小就對瓶裝水興趣濃厚，甚至為了追蹤最喜愛的牌子特意保有一份水雜志。作者的這些敘述顯然傳達了一個信息：瓶裝水可謂是此人的至愛。那么在這種隱含意義下，他所說的瓶裝水與自來水的區(qū)別決不真正是二者的實在區(qū)別，而是要突出瓶裝水要優(yōu)于自來水;連狗都能分辨這種區(qū)別，這是一種夸張說法，意在表明二者的差距之大。
A， 自來水當然不適合飲用。從全文給出的信息來看，自來水是適合引用的，句意本身錯誤，同時也不符合該句的真實含義。
B， 瓶裝水顯而易見地要優(yōu)于自來水。此說法與前面的分析一致，是正確的。
C，瓶裝水常常更符合狗的口味。Wiesenberger提到狗只是為了起到夸張的效果，并不是瓶裝水真的更符合狗的口味。
D，狗一般能靠味覺發(fā)現(xiàn)細微的差別。此項犯的錯誤與C一樣。
78. The “fancier brands” (Line 3 Para. 5) refers to ________.
A) tap water from the Thames RierB) famnus gins not sold in ordinary stres
C) PepsC聯(lián)’s Aquafana andCocamCml聡’S Dasani
D) expenive bottled wate2 職thimpressive nams
題目問fancie brands指的是俀么。
Fancir應該是fancy的比較級，fancy有“別臔、價格高昂的”的意思，frand指品牌。理覣它凷體的含義還是要看上下斏。耍#P#
這個詞組出現(xiàn)在A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care一句中，意思是：飯店一般把酒價標高100%到150%，而瓶裝水常常會達到300%到500%。不過水要比酒便宜得多，同時許多fancier brands在商店里買不到，因此用餐者就沒有注意或者并不在乎。
從最后一句結論可以推測，fancier brands很有可能是更貴的水品牌，因為如果這些奢侈牌子在商店里買不到，人們就無從知道它的合理價格，即便到了飯店以高價挨宰(標高500%)，他們也并不知情，也就注意不到或不會在乎。只有這樣邏輯才能通順。四個選項分別是：
A， 源自泰晤士河的.自來水
B， 不在普通商店中出售的名牌葡萄酒。
C，百事的Aquafina和可口可樂的Dasani。
D，擁有別致名字的昂貴瓶裝水。
四個選項中D符合上文的分析。
79. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?
A) Bottled water brings in huge profits.
B) Competition from the wine industry is intense.
C) Most diners find bottled water affordable.
D) Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable
首先了解turn up the pressure的意思，turn up有“提高”的意思，如turn up the radio，提高收音機的音量。turn up the pressure就是加大壓力、加大力度的`意思。這樣題意就是“一些飯店加大力度售賣瓶裝水的原因是什么”。
文中有As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water一句，as a result是“所以、因此”的意思，說明前文已經(jīng)說明了加大力度的原因，答案需要到前一段去找。
上一段首先提到飯店對銷售品牌瓶裝水的利潤垂涎三尺(restaurateurs salivate over the profits)，而后具體說明了其之所以能實現(xiàn)超額利潤的原因：消費者對瓶裝水合理價格水平一無所知。由此可以推斷，飯店大力售賣瓶裝水的原因就應該是高額利潤的誘使。
A，瓶裝水可以帶來巨額利潤。符合上面的分析。
B，來自酒業(yè)的競爭十分激烈。文中提到酒業(yè)(typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent)只是為了突出瓶裝水的利潤豐厚，沒有提到二者存在競爭問題。
C，大多數(shù)就餐者認為瓶裝水的價格可以接受。文中提到就餐者對價格的反應時是這樣敘述的：most diners don’t notice or care，意思是他們不知道瓶裝水的真實價格，因此沒有注意或不在乎。但飯店老板不會因為自己商品的價格可以被消費者接受而熱衷于售賣，這個價格中含有暴利才是原因。
D，瓶裝水滿足了就餐者喜歡時尚的需求。文章最后一段解釋了瓶裝水流行的其他原因，其中有它滿足了our wish to appear cultivated，與D的說法稍有接近，但這是從消費者的角度進行的分析，不是飯店老板熱衷于售賣瓶裝水的原因。
80. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular?
A) It is much cheaper than wine.
B) It is considered healthier.
C) It appeals to more cultivated people.
D) It is more widely promoted in the market.
題目問根據(jù)文意瓶裝水為什么如此流行。
文章的最后一段對此做出了說明，直譯如下：
不算其銷售方式，飲用瓶裝水能夠滿足我們對健康的更高追求，滿足對更有教養(yǎng)的形象的追求，甚至對水的純凈度的追求。
從這段話可以看出，銷售方式(how it’s sold，即第五六、段的分析)是瓶裝水流行的一個因素，此外就是文末的三種因素：更高健康、更好形象和純凈度。
A認為原因是瓶裝水比酒便宜。這是第五段的內(nèi)容：water is much cheaper than wine，不過這里提到水更便宜是為了解釋人們?yōu)楹螞]有注意到瓶裝水價格的虛高。
B認為原因是人們認為它更為健康，符合另三種因素的第一個：更高健康。
C認為原因是它能吸引更有教養(yǎng)的人。文中所說的對更有教養(yǎng)的形象的追求(our wish to appear cultivated)，是指一個人企望比以前的自己顯得更有教養(yǎng)，而不是瓶裝水對更有教養(yǎng)的人群的吸引力比對一般教養(yǎng)的人吸引力更大。
D認為原因是它在市場中得到了更大的推廣。瓶裝水得到了更大的推廣，其意思等同于瓶裝水流行，一個句子不能用它本身來解釋本身。

The Attitude toward Crisis
In our life, there is not always plain road and we may confront various crises such as disease, accident, lost the way and so on. Toward these crises, different people have different attitudes.
Some people choose to face it directly and bravely. They believe that the difficulties and cries, taking disease as example, can be defeat by their intelligence and bravery. Also the advanced high-tech can help them come over the crisis. While the others think that it is so big that the crisis can not be solved. So they give up to fight against it and yield without any effort.
As for me, we must face the crisis bravely and fight against it. For example, some students failed in one exam. Some cried and sad, but some one made up his mind to study hard from then on. I stand on the side of the latter. Only can you change the sorrow into power, you can be winner before the crisis.

Questions 20 to 23 are based on the following passage.
Viktor Frankl， a famous Jewish psychiatrist(精神病醫(yī)生）, wrote his bestselling 1946 book Mans Search for Meaning in nine days about his experiences in Nazi concentration camps. Frankl concluded that the difference between thoseprisoners who had lived and those who had died came down to one thing ： Meaning, an insight he came to early in life.
In 1991, the Library of Congress listed Man5s Search for Meaning as one of the 10 most influential books in the United States. It has sold millions of copies worldwide. Now, over twenty years later, the book s ideas—its emphasis on meaning, the value of suffering, and responsibility to something greater than the self—seem to be at odds with our culture,which is more interested in the pursuit of individual happiness than in the search for meaning. But happiness cannot bepursued. It follows. One must have a reason to be happy,”Franklwrote.
According to Gallup, the happiness levels of Americans are at a four-year high. Gallup also reports that nearly 60%of all Americans today feel happy, without a lot of stress or worry. On the other hand, according to the Center for DiseaseControl, about 4 out of 10 Americans have not discovered a satisfying life purpose. 40% either do not think their liveshave a clear sense of purpose or are neutral about whether their lives have purpose. Nearly a quarter of Americans do nothave a strong sense of what makes their lives meaningful.
Research has shown that having purpose and meaning in life increases overall well-being and life satisfaction, improves mental and physical health, and decreases the chances of depression. On top of that, the single-minded pursuit ofhappiness is leaving people less happy, according to recent research.
20. According to Paragraph 1, we know that Viktor Frankl_____________ .
A. wrote his early life experience as a soldier

Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.
If you’ve ever lost your wallet (錢包), then you know that it’s a very terribleexperience. Most people keep a lotintheir wallets. That’s where they keep their drivers license, their credit cards, and all kinds of other important things. Of course，that’s also where most of us keep our cash.
We all need cash in our lives. However, something called digital currency is slowly replacing cash. A currency is a kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. For example, the UK is the pound, and the USA is the dollar. If something is digital, it only exists on a computer. So “digital currency” means money thatonly existson computers.
Lots of people have digital currency accounts. They use a credit card to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot ofpeople wonder, “Why in the worldshould I change myreal moneyinto digital money? ” This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example， if you’re in China and you want to buy something in Canada, then you’ll have to pay with digital currency.
Many people still don’t trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can’thold their money in their hand, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don’t feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computertells them that their money is safe, but these people don’tfeel safe. Another problem is security. There are hackers all overtheworld. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.
You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing： If you want to buy something online, then you probably won’thave achoice. You’ll have to use digital money.

C. A person who uses a computer to buy things.
D. A person who owns a lot of digital currency.
26. How do those who don’t trust digital currency think about money?
A. The money on a computer screen is safe.
B. The money in their hand is real.
C. Real money is worth more than digital money.
D. Real money and digital money are the same.
27. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Hacker problems in the world. B. Currencies used in particular countries.
C. A new kind of money. D. Safety of digital currency.
Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.
Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a good thing?
Critics of zoos would argue that animals often suffer physically and mentally by being enclosed (封閉). Even the best artificial environments can^ come close to matching the space and freedom that animals have in their natural environments. Thisenclosure causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, in some parksdolphins (海豚)are forced to perform tricks, who may die decades earlier than their wild relatives. And some even try to kill themselves.
On the other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos have the potential to educate the public aboutconservation issues and inspire people to protect animals and their natural environments. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated by people, or pets which have been abandoned. Zoos also carry out importantresearch into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illnesses. One of the most important modern functions of zoos issupporting international breeding(繁殖) programmes, particularly for endangered species(種群). In the wild， some ofthe rarest species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed insecure environments.
So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well individual zoos are managed, and the benefits of zooscan surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe imprisoninganimalsfor any reason is simply wrong.
28. The expression “artificial environments” (Para. 2)is used in contrast to_______________.
A. natural environments B. some zoos
C. breeding programmes D. modern functions
29. Why are dolphins mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. They are ocean animals.
B. They are good at performing.
C. They are made to behave unnaturally in some parks.
D. They are supported by international breeding programmes.
30. According to the passage, international breeding programmes are particularly important to________.
A. animals in zoos B. split-up families
C. dolphins in parks D. endangered species
31. What is the author’s attitude towards zoos?
A. Negative B. Positive C. Critical D. Understandable
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.
How many times, when finding yourself in a difficult situation, have you heard something like, “You just need to go somewhere, change your environment, and meet new people.” Upon hearing this, we think such advice can be annoying： going through hard times, you rather expect help, sympathy, or at least something more practical, rather than“You know， you should travel”. However, the surprising truth is that this is probably one of the most useful and practical pieces of advice you can get.
Of course, you cannot abandon everything and set off to go on a world trip. All of us have duties, responsibilities, debts, connections. However, the advice to travel does not necessarily imply something like departing to Nepal and living among monks(僧侶)for years. In fact, small but regular journeys are available almost to everyone, and the positiveeffects they can have on your mental condition and your ability to cope with difficulties are significant.
When you are stressed， your thoughts obviously cannot be positive and optimistic(樂觀的).So, whether you want it or not, you will view your life situation from a rather pessimistic perspective(悲觀的視角). However， when you board a plane and fly overseas, you almost immediately start to feel your problems fade. “Out of sight, out of mind,’’ as the saying goes. Of course, I am not saying the easiest way to feel better is to escape from problems; I rather mean that taking a break and allowing yourself to breathe in some fresh air can give you a new perspective. Having a good rest is a necessary condition of any recovery, and your mind definitely needs rest from time to time.
Speaking of new perspectives, when travelling, you will inevitably meet a lot of new people. Some of them will become friends of yours; some will remain strangers. Psychologists have known that perhaps the most honest and sincere communication often occurs between strangers； this is called "the companion effect”. Useit to your advantage. Whether youneed advice, help, or a person who would quietly listen to you as you share your hardships, there is no better opportunity to get all this from strangers while travelling. Travelling can not solve your problems but will help you recover from yourmental wounds, get rid of the excessive stress, and give you the skills to deal with your hardships as you return home.
32. While in a difficult situation, people think the suggestion “You just need to gosomewhere”______..
A. annoying B. surprising C. practical D. useful
33. What does the advice to travel really mean in this passage?
A. Finding a temple and living with the monks.
B. Giving up your duties and departing to Nepal.
C. Starting a small journey and getting yourself refreshed.
D. Forgetting everything and starting a trip around the world.
34. What does the word “ it ” （ Para. 4) refer to?
A. A trip. B. The communication. C. A new perspective. D. The companion effect.
35. What is the probable title for this passage?
A. Sincere Communication Is a Way Out of Problems
B. Travelling Offers New Perspectives in Life Situation
C. Going Through Hard Times Needs Help and Sympathy
D. Travelling Is the Best Way to Escape from Problems
