第1题：
Which of the following conditional clause is a real condition________?A.If I had time, I would study French
B.If I have time, I will study French
C.If I had had time, I would have studied French
D.If I should have time, I would study French
答案：B
解析：条件句可分为两类，一类为真实条件句，一类为非真实条件句。非真实条件句表示的是假设或实际可能性不大的甚至完全不可能发生的情况，故采用虚拟语气。
A选项中，if+主语+一般过去时表示与现在事实相反，为虚拟语气；B选项中，if引导的是一个一般现在时的条件状语从句，为真实条件句；C选项中，if+主语+had done表示与过去事实相反，为虚拟语气；D选项中，if+主语+should do表示与将来事实相反，为虚拟语气。题干意为：下列条件句中那个是真实条件，所以答案选B。

Reading Comprehension
Directions:There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statemerits. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Questions 56-60 are based on Passage One:
Passage One
A recent study indicates that the “short sleepers”had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 0r so, the men voluntarily began cutting clown their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.
In general, these“short sleepers”appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful,conformist in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often heldseveral jobs at once, or work full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them hada strong urge to appear “normal”or “acceptable” to their friends and associates , When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers”did poorly. More than this,they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble woula go away.
The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic.
The“long sleepers”were quite different indeed. According to the study, these young men had lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers”。
Many of the“long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted, inhibited, passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly state that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.
According to the study, ( ).
A. many short sleepers need less sleep by nature
B. many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their work
C. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day
D. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood
正确答案：D
D[解析]根据第一段中的“But at about age 15 0r so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time…”可知，AB项说法错误；根据第五段中的“…their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest”可知C项说法错误；根据第五段中的“…these young men had lengthy sleeps since childhood”可知D项说法正确。 -

第6题：
Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey.
Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills ) , while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects).
Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline ( 衰退) people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed.
Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline．Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, "so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline," said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England.
People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e.g．"object usually colored gray", and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing．The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter were typically dominated by women.
Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average．And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?A.Men do better than women when it comes to learning English.
B.Women stand out at remembering people's names.
C.Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time.
D.Women excel at dealing mathematic problems.答案：B解析：根据第二段Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images，while women tend to excel(擅长)at recalling information from their brain’s files．可推出答案为B。 -

Adult Education
1 Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education.Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults.Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling,get new skills or job training,find out new technological developments,seek better self-understanding,or develop new talents and skills.
2 This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries,correspondence courses,or broadcasting.It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges,study groups,workshops,clubs,and professional associations.
3 Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution.Great economic and social changes were taking place:people were moving from rural areas to cities;new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system.These and other factors produced a need for further education and reeducation of adults.
4 The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 179Os,with the founding of an adult school in Nottingham and a mechanics institute in Glasgow.The earliest adult education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in Philadelphia in 1727.
5 People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today.For example,parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.The earliest organized adult education______.
A:by social and economic changes
B:guided self-study and correspondence courses
C:by studying together with children
D:what they did not manage to learn earlier
E:dates back to the eighteenth century
F:mass production答案：E解析：文章第二段主要讲的是成人教育的方式。故选C。
由文章第三段最后一句话“These and other factors produced a need for further education and reeducation of adults.”可知，本段讲的是由于社会和经济变革，成年人有必要进行继续教育和再教育。故选A。
文章第四段主要讲的是早期成人教育项目的形成和早期成人教育机构的设立，也就是成人教育初期的发展。故选B。
由文章第五段最后一句话“Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.”可知，本段讲的是成人教育因能满足社会需要而迅速发展。故选D。
从语法上看，这里需要的是一个宾语。由文章第一段第三句话“Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling…”，可知，一些成年人想要去学习他们在之前所没有学到的东西。故选D。
由文章第二段第一句话“This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries , correspondence courses , or broadcasting.”可知，成年人可以通过使用图书馆、相关课程或者广播，在合适的指导下进行自学。故选B。
由文章第三段中“Great economic and social changes were taking place”及“These and other factors produced a need for further education and reeducation of adults.”可知，由于社会和经济的巨大变革，成年人有必要进行继续教育和再教育。故选A。
从语法上看，这里需要一个谓语结构。从几个选项分析，只有E选项最合适。还可以根据句意，由文章第四段第一句“The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s…”，可知，最早的有组织的成人教育起源于18世纪90年代的英国。故选E。 -

正确答案： A解析：
句意：人类在很早的时候就开始研究自然现象和天体。看到It is (was) ...就应马上想到是否强调结构。从空白前内容可推知强调的是时间状语。注意，强调结构中，如强调部分指人，可用who或whom代替that；如果强调部分指物，可用which代替that。但如果强调部分指时间或地点，不可用when或where代替that。本题中，因强调的是时间状语，所以不可用when代替that，正确选项为C。 -

正确答案：B

第21题：
问答题Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgement and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgement wholly by their rules, is the humour of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need proyning (pruning) by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.正确答案：
读书足以怡情,足以傅彩,足以长才。其怡情也,最见于独处幽居之时;其傅彩也,最见于高谈阔论之中;其长才也,最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节,然纵观统筹,全局策划,则舍好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰,文采藻饰太盛则矫,全凭条文断事乃学究故态。读书补天然之不足,经验又补读书之不足,盖天生才干犹如自然花草,读书然后知如何修剪移接;而书中所示,如不以经验范之,则又大而无当。有一技之长者鄙读书,无知者羡读书,唯明智之士用读书,然书并不以用处告人,用书之智不在书中,而在书外,全凭观察得之。解析：
【翻译要点】
第一句中ornament本意“装饰”、“美化”，引申为“增光彩”，这里是“谈吐不俗”、“显露文采”的意思。最后一句中“that is a wisdom without them, and above them”是指这种智慧出乎其外、超乎其上。翻译时加上了“不在书中”，而略去了above them，使意思更加显豁。 -
