Micro-chip research center created
A research center has been set up in this far-east country to develop advanced micro-chip production technology. The center, which will start out with about US$14million,will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology.
The center will make use of its research skills and facilities to develop new technology for domestic chip plants. The advent of the center will possibly free the country from the situation that it is always buying almost-outdated technologies from other countries, said the country's flagship chipmaker. Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don't allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes. Moreover, the high licensing fees they have to pay to technology provider are also an important reason for their decision of self-reliance.
As mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years, plants with new technology can make more powerful chips at lower costs, while plants with out-dated equipment, which often cost billions of dollars to build, will be marginalized by the maker.
More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. the majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore.
Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in industry, the country admits the US$14million in vestment is still rather small. This country is developing comprehensive technologies. Most of the investment will be spent on setting alliances with technology and intellectual property owners.
練習:
1. The country says that the investment of US$14 million is big enough for developing that country' chip industry.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
2. That country gives top priorities to developing chips for military purposes.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
3. Although the licensing fees are not very high, that far-east country cannot afford to pay.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
4. Many western countries ban the exporting of the most advanced chip-making technologies to that country to prevent them from being used for military purposes.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
5. Currently, almost all the flagship chipmakers in that country are owned by American investors.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
6. Mainstream chip production technology develop rapidly.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
7. More than 10 chip plants being built in that country are an example of self-reliance.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known,new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences.
Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep,as well as a number of other sleep problems,than people who sleep 8 hours a night.People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night's sleep than 8-hour sleepers.
These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night's rest may not need to set aside.more than 8 hours a night.He added that“it might be a good idea''for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this.
Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more.
For the current report,Kripke reviewed the responses of 1,004 adults to sleep questionnaires,in which participants indicated how much they slept during the Week and whether they experienced any sleep problems.Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night,arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep,and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning.
KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed.As evidence,he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed.“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they'll spend a higher percentage of time awake.”he said.
1. Paragraph 2 ___.
2. Paragraph 4___.
3. Paragraph 5___.
4. Paragraph 6___.
A. Keprike's research tool
B. Dangers of Habitual shortages of sleep

D. A way of overcoming insomnia
E. Sleep problems of long and short sleepers
F. Classification of sleep problems

Stress Level Tied to Education Level
People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
However, the study also found that when 1ess-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.
From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random.Ⅵr11ere you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.
The research team interviewed a national sample of 1.03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health.People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days,people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time,and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time.
‘’Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health.'“l(fā)ead researcher Dr.Joseph Grzywacz,of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement.”The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors.and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged.“
Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic.
“If something happens every day, maybe it'snot seen as a stressor”Grzywacz says.“Maybe it is just 1ife.”
詞匯:
stressful adj.緊張的;壓力重的
diploma n.畢業(yè)文憑,畢業(yè)證書
stressor n.緊張刺激物
devastating adj.毀滅性的
follow-up n.(對病人的)隨訪

3. Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?
A)People without any education.

4.The less advantaged people are,the greater
A)the impact of stress on their health is.

Florida Hit by Cold Air Mass
In January,2003,the eastern two.thirds of the United States was at the mercy of a bitterly cold air mass that has endangered Florida's citrus trees,choked3 northern harbors with ice and left bewildered residents of North Carolina's Outer Banks digging out of up to a foot of snow.
The ice chill deepened as temperatures fell to the single digits in most of the South, with an unfamiliar dip below the freezing mark.as far South as parts of interior South Florida.Temperatures in Florida plunged,with West Palm Beach dropping to a record low of 2 degrees.
“We couldn't believe how cold it was,”said Martin King,who arrived this week in Orlando from England.“We brought shorts,T-shirt,and I had to go out and buy another coat.”
The temperature plunge posed a threat to Florida's US$9.1 billion-a-year citrus crop,more of which is still on the trees.Growers were hurrying to harvest as much of the fruit as possible before it was damaged by cold.
“Time is of the essence in getting fruit to the plant,”said Tom Rogers,a citrus grower who expected to see damage to oranges and grapefruit at that time.
In Florida,Governor Jeb Bush signed an emergency order to eliminate the weight limit on trucks so citrus growers could get as much fruit to market as possible.
Casey Pace,a spokeswoman for Florida Citrus Mutual,said growers had sprayed trees with sprinklers,which created a layer of ice and helped maintain a temperature near freezing.Citrus trees are considered in danger of damage if the temperature drops below minus 2 degrees Celsius
for four hours or more.Snow ranging from a dusting to up to 30 centimeters blanketed the Carolinas,Tennessee and parts of Virginia.

第3篇 Inspecting a Used Car
The scariest part of buying a used car is not being completely sure of what condition it's in A car that's been in a major accident is always a bigger risk,but sellers often try to hide this information.Andrew Bleakley, evaluator-inspector, runs a mobile vehicle inspection service in Montreal.For about$80 he will perform a full.unbiased inspection on a used vehicle.In his 10 years as a professional inspector,Bleakley has seen a lot.He warns.“Watch out for dealer demonstration vehicles which are used.not new.They may have been in a collision.”He adds that it is not uncommon in Ontario and Quebec especially for unscrupulous sellers to roll back the odometer or to even disengage it.Bleakley has special tools to check for this.
Blealdey always recommends hiring an independent technician to inspect the condition of a used car before you buy it.The problem is finding someone qualified to do the inspection,which he says generally doesn't mean just any mechanic,A thorough mechanical inspection includes checking the compression,all major systems,including the engine,electrical and charging systems,transmission and drive line,fluids,brakes,suspension,and steering.Essential,too,is all inspection of the car's body and finally a road test.There are,however a few things everyone can do before buying aused car:
Do a visual check of the car.Look at the right rear door hinges.If they are very worn.Or the door doesn't close well,the car may have been used as a taxi.Holes in the roof could mean the car was used for deliveries.
Check for oil leaks on the pavement.Note that leaks are not necessarily a significant problem it depends on the cause.
Don't assume that new.100king brake and accelerator pedals mean the car hasn't been driven much.Resellers know people check these details and call buy new Pads for around$6.
Copy down the vehicle identification number(VlN)。a 17-character combination of numbers and letters,from the vehicle's dashboard.In Ontario,ask the dealer or seller for the Used Vehicle Information Package.This gives details of previous owners,any outstanding liens on the car, and the fair market value of the vehicle.

The first four minutes
When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, "Contact: The first four minutes," he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: __1__. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that.
You may have noticed that average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he as just met.__2__. If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.
When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves."
On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his won needs, fears, and hopes.
Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to at that way."
__3__. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."
But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honest" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.
__4__. For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.
The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. __5__ that is at least as important as how much we know.
A. In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.
B. Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.
C. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.
D. Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.
E. He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.
F. He is eager to make friends with everyone.

Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely
Speeding off in a stolen car,the thief thinks he has got a great catch.。But he is in a nasty surprise.The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer.and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine _1_ ,he will not be able to start it again.
For now,such devices _2_ only available for fleets of trucks.and specialist vehicles used on construction sites.But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle down to ordinary cars.and _3_ be available to ordinary cars in the UK _4_ two months.
The idea goes like this.A control box fitted to the car incorporates. _5_ miniature cellphone,a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. _6_ the car is stolen.a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent the engine _7_ restarted.
There are even plans for immobilizers _8_ shut down vehicles on the move,though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system.
In the UK.an array of technical fixesⅢis already making _9_ harder for car thieves.“The pattern of vehicles crime has changed,”says Martyn Randall of Thatcham.a security research organization based in Berkshire that is funded in part _10_ the motor insurance industry.
He says it would only take him a few minutes to _11_ a novice how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools.But only if the cal-is more than 10 years old.
Modern cars are a far tougher proposition,as their engine management computer will not _12_ them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition key.In the UK,technologies like this _13_ achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
But determined criminals ore still managing to find other ways to steal cars.Often by getting hold of the owner's keys in a burglary.In 2000,12 per cent of vehicles stolen in the UK were taken using the owner's keys double the previous year's figure.
Remote.con~olled immobilization system would _14_ a major new obstacle in the criminal's way by making such thefts pointless.A group that includes Thatcham,the police,insurance companies and security technology firms have developed standards for a system that could go on the market sooner than the _15_ expects.

答案及解析
第一部分:詞匯選擇(第1-15題,每題1分,共15分)
下面共有15句子,每個句子均有一個詞或短語劃有底橫線,請從每個句子后面所給的四個選項中選擇一個與劃線部分意義最相近的詞或短語。答案一律涂在答題卡相應的位置上。
1. B. 分析:借助畫線短語核心詞(bring)的基本含義―“帶來/引起”,并借助與畫線結構相直接相關的結構含義(質量控制系統(tǒng)被……)判斷B(引進)是答案。該句含義是“將引進一種新的質量控制系統(tǒng)以克服公司產(chǎn)品出現(xiàn)的缺陷?!盜nvest: vt.(常與in連用)投入(資金,精力,時間等) ; insist: vi, vt(常與on, that連用)主張;堅持, 堅持要求(賓語從句跟虛擬語氣結構)
2. B.分析:and的使用表明前后兩個結構是在語法結構對稱,且含義上色彩一致,這樣排除A(“發(fā)展”和“失去重要性”在詞義色彩上相反)和D(renew = re + new(re表示“再次”)),所以可推出renew是“更新”)。 借助句意判斷disappear(消失)是答案。該句含義是“舊的公司失去了它們的重要性,而其中的一些公司完全得消失了。”link vt, vi(常與together, to, with連用)連接。
3. A.分析:break有多種含義。Break是“打破, 違犯, 折斷,超過”,而被選項中只有A有“打”的含義,所以判斷beat是答案。該句含義是“在奧運會上每當運動員打破了以往的比賽記錄人們就會為之而歡呼興奮。”另外,maintain,announce和match都是常見詞, 基本含義分別是“保持”,“宣布”和“比得上”。
4.A. 分析:根據(jù)句意(“政府正在……教育法”)排除B(搭配詞義不通順),C和D(C和D都通常和進行時態(tài)連用)。debate: vt, vi討論,爭論;discuss : vt談論;討論;商討(with sb. );delay: vt, vi, n. 推遲;延緩 ;Decline: vt, vi下降;下滑;下傾
5. D.分析:在該句中yield 是用作名詞(因為該詞的前面有不定冠詞a),分析:抓住句子中與劃線部分相關的結構或用詞特點:能與不定冠詞a搭配使用的被選項只有C和D(氣候,傾向, 風氣,如:a mild climate溫和的氣候)。再借助句子中其他特征詞:farm,判斷harvest“收成”是答案。該句含義是“這一年中他們的收成要比數(shù)英里以外的其他任何農(nóng)場的收成都好得多。”Yield: vt, vi出產(chǎn), (常與to連用)放棄;投降;讓步 n. 產(chǎn)量;收成
6.A.分析:劃線短語是動詞短語,對于該短語的語義有兩種查找方法:1.利用動詞do,直接在字典中查找do away with 這個短語的語義。不難得出該短語的語義是“去掉”,所以A是答案;2.利用該短語中的詞義推測:away是“離開”,而備選項中: set up是“建立”, repair是“修理”, paint 是“油漆, 描繪”,都與“離開”無關,所以只有get rid of是答案。該句句意是“這座城市已經(jīng)決定把位于市中心的所有的舊的建筑物都廢棄掉?!?/p>
7.C. 分析:根據(jù)畫線詞的家族詞(drama)的本義和與畫線詞搭配的結構的含義(“變化”),判斷C是答案。該句含義是“在過去的十年中,在國際形式方面已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了顯著的變化。”Striking: adj. 引人注意的;顯著的;Dramatic: adj. 戲劇的;有關戲劇的; 引人注目的。
8. A.分析:利用被選項的特點:A和B是正反項,所以重點注意。而B,C 和D都是近義詞,表示“可能的”,所以相互排除掉。答案是A.該句含義是“檢察員明天不可能會來?!眔ut of the question adv. 不可能;另外,likely 還可以用作副詞,表示“ 或許, 很可能”。
9. C.分析:根據(jù)句意(人們正在研制開發(fā)…太陽能的技術。)判斷C合適。Convert vt.使轉變, 轉換……; store vt.貯藏, 貯備, 存儲n.商店, 店鋪, 貯藏。
10. D.分析:根據(jù)構詞法:劃線詞的前部分是 damage(破壞),即damaging是動詞damage的分詞,所以推測該詞義大概是“破壞的” .而備選答案都是常見詞匯,其中只有harmful是“破壞的”,因此可以推斷harmful是答案。該句含義是“從經(jīng)濟大蕭條以后,美國政府一直在(采取措施)使農(nóng)民避免遭受到由于糧食價格的下降而帶來的損失”。
11. B.分析:seldom是常見詞匯,該詞義是“很少地” .而備選答案中rarely也是常見的否定副詞,是“很少地”。該句含義是“水泥在中世紀的建筑中很少使用?!?/p>
12. B. 分析:借助搭配結構“……on sth.”判斷B(影響) 是答案。該句含義是“他們?nèi)匀辉诠罍y自動化對工廠工人生活的影響?!眎nfluence on……/對……的影響; impact n.沖擊, 影響, 效果
vt. 撞擊, 壓緊, 對……發(fā)生影響; impact也是通常和介詞 on搭配(impact on……),含義是“對……的影響”; passion 通常和介詞for搭配,表示“對……的熱愛”; affect vt.影響, 感動, 侵襲; pressure n.壓, 壓力, 電壓
13. B. 分析:借助句意(在她做了手術后的一個月以后她終于有了好轉(恢復了健康))判斷B(好轉)最合適。get along v.生活, 融洽相處, 進展; get on v.生活, 融洽相處, 進展; get out
v.出去, 離開, 逃脫, 泄露
14. 分析:D. 借助句子的句意(這位部長……委員會。 )和被選項中的核心詞含義判斷D(charge
n.主管, 掌管)合適。on the verge of adv.接近于, 瀕臨于;on the basis of prep.以……為基礎; at the cost of adv.以……為代價
15. A. 分析:該句含義是“她的話傷了我的感情。”結構“make + adj.”的含義是“使……怎樣”。
第二部分:閱讀判斷(每題1分,共七分)
閱讀下面這篇短文,短文后列出了七個句子,請根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容對每個句子作出判斷。如果該句提供的是正確信息,請在答題卡上把A涂黑;如果該句提供的是錯誤信息,請在答題卡上把B涂黑;如果該句的信息文章中沒有提及,請在答題卡上把C涂黑
1.B.分析:利用題干中的特征詞US$14 million作為答案線索,這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關句:The center, which will start out with about US$14million,, will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology.(該句句意不足以說明問題句是否正確)
More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors (賣主)and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore.
Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in the industry, the country admits the US $14 million in vestment is still rather small. (the situation in the industry的指代內(nèi)容是解題關鍵,而前句中提到的是chip industry的發(fā)展, 因此判斷“the situation in the industry”就是指“芯片工業(yè)的發(fā)展情況”,所以根據(jù)該句的句意 (1400萬美圓的投資仍然是很小數(shù)目的投資)判斷問題句的說法不正確。)
2.C.分析:以題干中的核心結構military purposes和top priorities作為答案線索 ( 同時注意文章中出現(xiàn)的這些線索結構的近義/反義結構),于是發(fā)現(xiàn)相關句:Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don't allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes.
發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關句中沒有談到“優(yōu)先發(fā)展用于軍事目的的芯片”,因此判斷問題句的說法為“沒提到”。
3. C.分析:利用題干中的核心結構licensing fees(執(zhí)照費)作為答案線索(因為該詞是特定的表達,所以可以在文章中只查找該詞), 查找答案相關句:Moreover, the high licensing fees (與“are not very high”不矛盾)they have to pay to technology provider are also an important reason for their decision of self-reliance.發(fā)現(xiàn)相關句的內(nèi)容中只涉及到了問題句中的部分內(nèi)容(有關執(zhí)照費用的高低問題),而問題句中提到的“cannot afford to pay(沒能力支付)”在文章中沒有對應的內(nèi)容,因此判斷問題句的說法為“沒提到”。
4.A.分析:該題所涉及到的相關句在第2題中已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了:Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don't allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes. (許多國外政府不允許他們進口最先進的技術,因為擔心這些技術將被用于軍事目的)根據(jù)該句句意判斷問題句的說法正確。
5. C.分析:利用題干中的核心詞flagship chipmakers作為答案線索,這樣在文章中找到答案相關句:The advent(出現(xiàn),到來) of the center will possibly free the country from the situation that it is always buying almost-outdated technologies from other countries, said the country's flagship chipmaker.文章中涉及到flagship chipmaker的句子并沒有說flagship chipmaker是由美國投資者所擁有, 可見文章中的答案相關句中根本沒有反映出問題句中的信息,因此判斷該問題句的為沒提到。
6. A.分析:利用題干中的核心詞Mainstream chip 作為答案線索,這樣在文章中找到相關句:As mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years, 該句含義是“主流芯片生產(chǎn)技術每3年到5年就會進行更新?lián)Q代”,根據(jù)該句句意判斷問題句的說法“正確”。
7. B.分析:利用題干中的特殊結構――數(shù)量詞(10 chip plants)作為答案線索,這樣發(fā)現(xiàn)答案相關句:More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore.從相關句中得出的結論恰恰是“依靠他人”,而不是“依靠自己”,因此判斷問題句的說法錯誤。
第三部分:概括大意與完成句子 (每題1分,共8分)
閱讀下面這篇短文,短文后有2項測試任務:(1)1――4 題要求從所給的6個選項中為第2――5 段每段選擇1個正確的小標題;(2)第5――8題要求從所給的6個選項中選擇4個正確的選項,分別完成每個句子。請將答案涂在答題卡相應的位置上。
More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
1. E: Investigators ……found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling, than……該句回應了文章的主題―睡眠時間太長不是好事;對應被選項發(fā)現(xiàn)只有E和F與這個內(nèi)容有關系,但段落最后一句中又提到了睡眠不足的人的問題,因此判斷E是答案(睡眠長和睡眠短的人所面臨的睡眠問題)。
2.B.分析:段落的結構―― Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance……表明了該段的中心是講述“長期睡眠不足的潛在危險”
3. A. 分析:對于該段落答案的選擇具有一定的迷惑性,A和F容易相互成為干擾項,但由于段落中提到的“睡眠問題”是屬于問卷上要回答的內(nèi)容,是和Keprike的直接研究有關,所以判斷A是答案。同時猜測F可能是干擾項
4. D: 段落中出現(xiàn)的Kripke found, Kripke noted和he added表明“Kripke的觀點和態(tài)度應該是該段的中心”,對比被選項排除C(段落中沒有出現(xiàn)批評的話語)和F(段落中沒有具體提到睡眠問題的表現(xiàn)形式),而段落最后第2句提到了克服失眠的方法―少花時間在床上,與D呼應。
5.F.分析:根據(jù)搭配結構need to do sth.判斷所有選項都在語法上合適。借助搭配句意:“為了獲得晚上好的休息,人們沒有必要……”判斷F(睡眠超過8小時)。
6.E.分析:借助搭配句意:“睡眠時間長的人根據(jù)報道更有可能……”,并結合文章主題―睡眠時間長不是好事情,判斷E合適。也可借助文章中的相關內(nèi)容(利用題干中的Long sleepers和more likely 作為答案線索):KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours.
7. A. 分析:借助搭配句意:“其中的一個睡眠問題是在午夜醒來,不能……”,直接判斷A(再次入睡)合適。
8. C.分析:借助搭配句意:“一項調查顯示那些習慣性每晚……的人有更高的死亡風險?!?/p>
第四部分:閱讀理解(每題3分,共45分)
下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道題,每道題后面有4個選項。請仔細閱讀短文并根據(jù)短文回答其后面的問題,從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案涂在答題卡相應的位置上。
第1篇
1. B 從文章題目便可得知,一個人的緊張程度與其受教育的程度掛鉤,而受教育的程
度又直接影響一個人的社會地位。因此,文章第三段提到,一個人的社會地位決定了
其每日所面臨的問題和處理這些問題的能力。由此可見,緊張程度與社會地位密切相
關。
2. A 文章第四段提到,研究人員對全國抽樣的1 031名成人連續(xù)八天每天進行采訪。
3. D 從文章第四段可以得知,調查對象學歷越高,自己所報告的緊張?zhí)鞌?shù)便越多。
4. A 文章第五段提到,一個人的社會地位越低,緊張對其健康造成的危害也就越大。
5. C 文章最后兩段提到,受教育程度越低者所報告緊張?zhí)鞌?shù)越少的原因有可能是他們
對緊張因素己司空見慣,視其為生活的一部分,而不是什么特別值得注意的。
第2篇
1. B第二段中就有冷氣團侵襲到mostofthe South,所以,B是不符合原意的。
2. B.。。with an unfamiliar dip below the freezing mark as far south as parts ofinterior South Florida.在南至南佛羅里達州腹地的一些區(qū)域,氣溫前所未有地降至冰點以下這句話說明B是正確選項。在most ofthe South,氣溫降至10℃以下,在West Palm Beach,氣溫雖然降至歷史最低,但有2℃。
3. A佛羅里達位于炎熱的南方。King只帶了短褲、T.shirt.到了佛羅里達,寒潮來了,他只好去買御寒衣服。
4. C第六段中“Jeb Bush signed an emergency order to eliminate the weight limit on trucks so citrus growers could get as much fruit to market as possible.”這個句子提供了答案。
5. D選項A、B、C文章中都提到,而且,A、B、C的內(nèi)容都符合原意,惟有D不正確,因為,文章中只是說Florida Citrus Mutual(佛羅里達柑橘互助協(xié)會)通報了柑橘種植人采取的防凍措施,并沒有說這個協(xié)會自己采取了防凍措施。
第3篇
1.C本題的答案可以在文章的第一、二句話里找到。第一句話說買二手車最擔心的是不全面了解車況,最需要注意的是車有沒有出過事故。A、B、D三項都屬于車況,C項說的是車有沒有被撞過,既有沒有出過大的事故,這是最重要的。
2. A本題問的是幾個選項中哪一個不是二手車商蒙騙顧客的手法。B、C、D三項的內(nèi)容分別在第一段的最后和第五段里講到,但文中沒有提到他們把車重新噴漆。
3.D“independent technician”意思是“獨立的技師”,即不從屬于哪一個車商或車行的技師,因而比較公正可信。A、B兩項分別為“免費服務”和“自學成材”的意思,C項的意思恰好和independent technician的意義相反。
4. D在第二段里B1eakley強調驗車非一般的技師所能為,一定要有所需要的資質才行,車商是不能插手的,但第二段的最后一句話說有些事情人人都可以做,所以本題的答案是選項D,驗車可以由有資質的技師和買主一起來做。
5. D本題的答案可以在文章的最后一句話里找到。車牌號不提供車主的詳細信息,公平的驗車技師不會提供,二手車商也不會,但可以問車商要“二手車信息包”,這里面可以找到原車主的詳細信息。
第五部分:補全短文(每題2分,共10分)
閱讀下面的短文,文章中有5處空白,文章后有6組文字,請根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容選擇5組文字,將其分別放會文章原有位置,以恢復文章原貌。請將答案涂在答題卡相應的位置。
The first four moniutes
1. D. 分析:空格前后句中出現(xiàn)了代詞的呼應―― this advice―― that,再結合句意判斷空格處出現(xiàn)表意為“建議”的句子可能性最大,結合被選項的內(nèi)容和用詞判斷D是答案??键c:語意平行結構中的觀點句/概括總結句。
2. E.分析:后句中的句意在對具體細節(jié)進行描述,句子中代詞this的出現(xiàn),暗示前句中出現(xiàn)的this指代的內(nèi)容。判斷E是答案??键c:舉例分析句/細節(jié)描述句。
3. A. 分析:空格后句中出現(xiàn)了代詞We,而被選項中只有A和C中有代詞與We呼應。但A中還有changing our social habits與空格后句中的 become accustomed to any changes在語意上呼應,所以答案是A.
4. B. 分析:前文中出現(xiàn)了“關于如何‘對待陌生人'的描述”,而且在下文中提到了“家庭成員(husband and wife or a parent and child)”,因此判斷B是答案。
5. C. 分析:后句中的代詞we在C中才有呼應的代詞,而且在文章最后出現(xiàn)觀點句是通常論述文的發(fā)展特點,因此判斷C正確??键c:文章中的總結概括句/觀點句。
第六部分:完型填空 (每題1分,共15分)
閱讀下面的短文,文中有15處空白,每處空白給出了4個選項,請根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案,并涂在答題卡相應的位置上。
1.A 該段主要是說,如果車被盜,只要發(fā)出無線電信號,retmote immobilizer就能使被盜車一旦停就無法再啟動。因此,應選擇A.如選擇B,switches the engine on(發(fā)動弓擎)句子意思便不符合文章內(nèi)容。C和D與switch不搭配。
2.D devices是復數(shù)形式,描述的也是目前的事情,所以應使用be的現(xiàn)在時復數(shù)形式are.
3.D 該句說,這種遙控技術會一點一點地,但很快地用于普通汽車。然后,作者推斷,在兩個月后這種技術就能用于英國的汽車。A是錯誤的選項,因為該句前面用了could表示委婉的推斷,在此不會用can;B和C與意思不符;should也是表示推斷。
4.c 從搭配上來看,可以選擇B和C,但是從意思上來看,必須選擇C.for two months:已經(jīng)有兩個月了;in two months:兩個月后。不能選擇A,因為不符和英語表達習慣。又如:They will graduate擁one year.他們一年后畢業(yè)。
5.C 這里應該使用不定冠詞,而且miniature cellphone后面的并列定語都使用不定冠詞。不能選擇a|1,因為它后面的名詞由輔音開頭。
6.B 從語法結構來看,這里應選擇引導狀語從旬的連詞,其他選擇都會造成結構錯誤。而且,If正符合句子的意思。
7.B orevent sth(from)doing是固定用法,restart這里要用被動語態(tài)being restarted,所以,應選擇B.
8.C 從句子的結構來看,這里需要一個關系代詞引導定語從旬。關系代詞的先行詞immobilizers是物不是人,所以只能用that,不能用who.
9.A 在四個選擇中,B、C和D顯然不符合文章的意思。這里作者要表達的的意思是:使……日子難過,所以,應選擇A. ‘
10.C be funded是被動語態(tài),空格后面是名詞短語,從句子的意思來判斷,這個名詞短語是動作fund的執(zhí)行者,是謂語動詞動作邏輯上的主語,所以必須使用by來引導這個名詞短語。
11.D 這個句子結構是:to take sb time to do sth.從意思上判斷,句子的意思應該是:他說只要花幾分鐘就能教會一個新手如何偷盜汽車。所以,D是答案。use,inform和ask都不與how to結構搭配。
12.B them后跟著to,所以首先排除A和C(let sb do sth./make sb do sth)。句子的意思不允許選D.…will not allow them to start…。:…不允許它們啟動…。
13.A 句子后面的時間狀語由since引導,所以句子應該使用現(xiàn)在完成時。
14.D 從obstacle in the criminal's way這個名詞短語看出,應選擇D,構成put obstacle in sb's way(給某人設置障礙)這種固定用法。
15.C 前面有go on the market,預期的人應該是customer.當然,specialists,doctor或lawyer也可以預期,但總及不上customer那么自然。
