第3题：
“No matter how successful he has become, my brother is still regarded as the black sheepof the family”. What does “the black sheep” mean here? ()A.A person who is very popular among his folks
B.A person who is strongly disproved of by other members
C.A person who is always quiet and friendly
D.A person who will set the world on fire sooner or later
正确答案：B
解析：本句参考译文：“无论我哥哥(或弟弟)多么成功，他仍然被认为是我家的black sheep。”在这句话中“the black sheep”是什么意思?【知识点来源：Unit 3】 本题考查英语动物词的联想意义。the black sheep是英语习语，指使家族蒙羞的人，相当于汉语中的“害群之马、败家子”，所以正确选项应该是：A person who is strongly disproved of by other members.(被其他成员强烈不赞同的人)。

The Beginning of American Literature America has always been a land of beginnings.After Europeans"discovered"America in the fifteenth century,the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life,an escape from poverty and persecution,a chance to start again.We can say that,as a nation,America begins with that hope.When,however,does American literature begin?
American literature begins with American experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before Christopher Columbus,before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,native Americans lived here.Each tribe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.Another kind of experience,one filled with fear and excitement,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain, French and English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilder- ness tell unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years. Experience,then, is the key to early American literature.
The New World provided a great variety of experiences,and these experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers.These writers included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.
They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners-they are all the creators of the first American literature.What does"that hope"in the first paragraph refer to?
A:The hope that America would be discovered.
B:The hope to start a new life.
C:The hope to see the mysteries of the New Worid.
D:The hope to find poverty here.答案：B解析：由文章第一段第二句话“… a genuine hope of a new life …”可知，that hope指的是人们对在美洲新大陆开始新生活的希望。故选B。
由文章第二段第二句可知，早在大约公元1000年北欧人发现美洲之前，美洲土著居民就居住在这里。第一句说“美国文学来源于美国人的生活经历”，由此可知，美国文学产生于公元1000年前就居住在这里的美洲土著居民的生活经历。故选D。
由文章第二段第三句话“Each tribe ' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of dail life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.”可知，美洲土部落的文学是他们日常生活的真实写照。故选A。
文章最后一段的第一句话“Experience , then , is the key to early American literature."本段的主题句，说的是：美洲的生活经历是美国早期文学产生的关键因素。故选D。
由文章最后一段第四句话“They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd , wh thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”可知，这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见，一些英国作家对美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。 -

Play
Play is the principal business of childhood,and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy,every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play,and the main tools of play are toys.Their main func- tion is to suggest,encourage and assist play.To succeed in this they must he good toys,which children will play with often,and will come back to again and again.Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development.
In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach,within the range of his inherited abilities,is largely determined in the first three years of his life .So a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated.A baby,who is encouraged and stimulated,talked to and shown things and played with,has the best chance of growing up successfully.
In the next stage,from three to five years old,curiosity knows no bounds.Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child,for trying out,experimenting and learning,for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws（七巧板）and construction toys ; painting,scribbling（涂鸦）and making things;sand and water play;toys for imaginative and pretending play;the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.
By the third stage of play development—from five to seven or eight years—the child is at school .But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning,at home or at school.It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
Until the age of seven or eight,play and work mean much the same to a child.But once reading has been mastered,then books and schools become the main source of learning.Toys are still interesting and valuable,they lead on to new hobbies,but、their significance has changed—to a child of nine or ten years,toys and games mean,as to adults,relaxation and fun.Who have the best chance of growing up successfully?
A: Those who tend to overeat.
B:.Those who are given a lot of toys.
C: Those who are given toys,talked to and played with.
D: Those who can share their toys with their playmates.答案：C解析：这句话“…as a child grows up ,he should be given different toys”和第一段的最后一句话“…it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development”（给处于不同生长期的孩子选择合适的玩具很重要）是一样的意思。
本题的依据是第二段的第一句话，这句话中有一个介词短语：within the range of his inherited abilities，如果先抛开这个短语，句子的其余部分意为：近年对儿童成长的研究表明，孩子出生的头3年在很大程度上决定了他今后将达到的水平。但这个结论的限定是“在他遗传得到的能力范围之内”(within the range of his inherited abilities)，也就是说孩子从父母那里遗传来的能力部分地决定了他可能达到的水平。
答案的依据是第二段的最后一句话，选项C讲到的3点：given toys, talked to and played with在这句话里都可以找到：talked to and shown things and played with，只是次序稍有不同。
第三段的第一句话告诉我们，孩子3～5岁时是好奇心最强的时候，所以B : around four，四岁前后，是正确答案。
这道题的答案取决于对整篇文章的理解和把握，本文的题目是Play，第一段的第一句话就把文章的中心点出来了：…in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being．第二、第三、第四段分别讲了在1～3岁、3 ～5 岁、5～7/8岁这三个阶段玩耍对孩子成长的重要作用。 -

问答题Practice 8 The United States has long been known as a “melting pot”, because many of its people are descended from settlers who came from all over the world to make their homes in the new land. The first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Attracted by reports of great economic opportunities and religious and political freedom, immigrants from many other countries flocked to the United States in increasing numbers, reaching a peak in the years 1880—1914. Between 1820 and 1980 the United States admitted almost 50 million immigrants. Some 1,360,000 American Indians, descendants of North America's first inhabitants, now reside in the United States. Most live in the West, but many are in the south and north central areas. Of the more than 300 separate tribes, the largest is the Navaho in the Southwest. Black people were first brought to America from Africa as slaves. Their descendants now make up nearly 12 percent of the population. They once lived mainly in the agricultural South but now are scattered throughout the nation.正确答案： 【参考译文】
美国历来以“民族熔锅”著称,因为许多美国人是移民的后裔,当年这些移民从世界各地来到这块新土地上安家落户。美国历史上首批移民来自英国和荷兰。许多其他国家的人听说在美国经济上有很大的发展机会,还有宗教自由和政治自由,于是便纷纷移居美国,移民人数越来越多,1880年至1914年达到了顶峰。在1820年到1980年间,美国接纳了近5000万移民。
现在约有1360000名印第安人居住在美国,他们是北美土著的后裔。大多数印第安人住在西部,也有许多住在中部的南北地区。美国印第安人分属300多个不同的部落,其中最大的是西南部的纳瓦霍部落。
黑人当初是被当作奴隶从非洲贩运到美国的,他们的后裔现在几乎占美国人口的百分之十二。从前,黑人主要聚居在南方农业地带,但如今则分散到美国各地。解析： 暂无解析 -

The Beginning of American Literature
America has always been a land of beginnings.After Europeans"discovered"America in the fifteenth
century,the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life,an escape from
poverty and persecution,a chance to start again.We can say that,as a nation,America begins with that
hope.When,however,does American literature begin?
American literature begins with Amnerican experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before
Christopher Columbus，before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,Native Americans
lived here. Each trilbe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daiiy life and reflected the unmistakably
American experience of lining with the land。Anoiher kind of experience,one filled with fear and excite-
ment,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain,French and
English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilderness tell
unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years.
Experience,then,is the key to early American literature.The New World provided a great variety of
experiences,and these experiences deniauded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early
American writers.These wnters included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American
continent.They included Jonathlan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British sub-
jects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.
American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners一they are all the creators
of the first American literature.The main purpose of the last paragraph is to tell the readers that_____________.
A:in the early days most American writers were from Great Britain
B:people with rich life experience became writers
C:there were many writers in the early days of American history
D:early-day experience provided the foundation for American literature答案：D解析：首先找到“that hope”在文章中的位置：就是指第一段第二句中“…a genuine hope of a new life,”意思是：开始新生活的真诚希望。故选B。
从第二段第二句可知：很早以前，本上美国人就居住在这里。既然前一句说“美国文学 产生于美国人的生活经历”，由此可知美国文学产生于很早以前就居住这里的本土美国人的 生活经历。故选D。
由文章第一二段第三句话“Each tribe' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land.”可知，从美洲土著 部落的文学中，我们可以找到他们日常生活的写照。
文章最后一段的第一句“Experience, then, is the key to early American literature.”是本 段的主题句，说的是：经历是早期美国文学的关键因素。
文章最后一段中“These writers included Johon Smith , who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of them- selves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”意思是：这些文学家包括仅在美洲居住两年半的约翰·史密斯，还 有约翰逊·爱德华和维廉姆·白伊德。这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会 创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见，一些英国作家对 美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。 -

American literature begins with American experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before Christopher Columbus,before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,native Americans lived here.Each tribe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.Another kind of experience,one filled with fear and excitement,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain, French and English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilder- ness tell unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years. Experience,then, is the key to early American literature.
The New World provided a great variety of experiences,and these experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers.These writers included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.
They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners-they are all the creators of the first American literature.The main purpose of the last paragraph is to tell the readers that______.
A:in the early days most American writers were from Great Britain
B:people with rich life experience became writers
C:there were many writers in the early days of American history
D:early-day experience provided the foundation for American literature答案：D解析：由文章第一段第二句话“… a genuine hope of a new life …”可知，that hope指的是人们对在美洲新大陆开始新生活的希望。故选B。
由文章第二段第二句可知，早在大约公元1000年北欧人发现美洲之前，美洲土著居民就居住在这里。第一句说“美国文学来源于美国人的生活经历”，由此可知，美国文学产生于公元1000年前就居住在这里的美洲土著居民的生活经历。故选D。
由文章第二段第三句话“Each tribe ' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of dail life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.”可知，美洲土部落的文学是他们日常生活的真实写照。故选A。
文章最后一段的第一句话“Experience , then , is the key to early American literature."本段的主题句，说的是：美洲的生活经历是美国早期文学产生的关键因素。故选D。
由文章最后一段第四句话“They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd , wh thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”可知，这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见，一些英国作家对美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。 -

第23题：
问答题There is an ever-widening gap between black male college enrollees and their female and white counterparts, says the American Council on Education (ACE). Twenty years ago, according to ACE’s “Annual Status Report on Minorities in Higher Education,” 30 percent of African American male high school graduates (ages 18 to 24) were enrolled in college, compared with 28 percent of same-age black females and 41 percent of white males. Now, some 37 percent of black men are enrolled, compared with 42 percent of African American women and 44.5 percent of white males. So while there are more black males enrolling in college today than 20 years ago, other groups have outstripped them in enrolling and, even more importantly, in retention rates. The graduation rate of black men is lower than that of any group. Only 35 percent of black males enrollees graduated within six years from colleges in 1996, compared with 59 percent of white males,46 percent of Hispanic men,41 percent of American Indian males and 45 percent of the black women who entered the same year. Surveys and reports are hinting that the country’s educational apparatus is stacked against the black male. Fewer than one in five students of color have graduated from high school, have a set of college-prep courses on their high school transcripts and “demonstrate basic literacy” — the necessities for being “college ready.” Another glaring problem is that black males are disproportionately labeled as discipline and behavioral problems and fast tracked out of high schools through expulsions and suspensions. As if that’s not enough, says ACE’s William Harvey, there’s a virtual drying up of federal aid-to-education grant money coupled with jacked-up tuitions, which make it necessary for low-income students to assume an average $ 20,000 debt to finish a four-year curriculum. “For those in the lower economic category, the availability of financial aid determines who gets to go to college and who doesn’t,” observes Harvey. Harvey points out that, over the years, federal funding has undergone a “complete reversal,” from “a 70 percent to 30 percent grant-to-loan ratio 20 years ago” to the exact opposite today..”An 18-year-old male will be more inclined to say, I want money in my pocket now’ and attempt to get a job,” adds Harvey. “But many take on the debt, become part-time students, work 20-plus hours a week and become five-year students at a four-year college.” The inequity of that educational apparatus is especially clear when you look at the black males who persevere — those who go on to finish high school, earn a bachelor’s degree and even finish grad school. A recently released Census report shows that, whether they have a high school diploma or a master’s degree, black men will earn roughly 25 percent less than Whites.正确答案： 【参考译文】
美国教育委员会报告,美国黑人男性的大学入学率与黑人女性及白人男性的大学入学率之间出现了越来越大的差距。
根据美国教育委员会关于高校少数民族学生状况年度报告,20年前,30%的男性黑人中学毕业生(18-24岁)进入大学,与此相比,同龄女性黑人是28%,男性白人是41%。现在,男性黑人的大学入学率上升为37%,而女性黑人为42%,男性白人为44.5%。这就是说,虽然男性黑人的大学入学率比之20年前有了提高,但是其他群体的入学增长率却更高,而且更重要的是在巩固率方面。
男性黑人的毕业率也低于任何其他群体。l996年,进入大学的男性黑人只有35%在6年内完成学业毕业,相比之下,在同年入学者中,男性白人的毕业率是59%,西班牙裔男性是46%,印第安人男性是41%,女性黑人是45%。
各项调查和报告都显示,美国的教育机制对男性黑人是不利的。有色人种学生只有不到1/5在中学毕业时,能在成绩报告单上获得完成大学预科课程的记录,用以“证明具备基本读写能力”——这是“符合上大学条件”的基本要求。
另一个突出的问题是,黑人男性往往被过多地贴上不守纪律和行为不当的标签,因而常常受到开除和停学处分而被早早地逐出中学的校门。
美国教育委员会的威廉·哈维说,问题似乎还不止这些。联邦专项教育补助基金实际上已经枯竭,而学费却在上涨,这样一来,低收入学生要完成4年的学业,必须获得平均2万美元的贷款。
哈维说,“对于经济条件较差的学生来说,能不能得到财政帮助决定着谁能进入大学、谁不能进入大学。”哈维指出,联邦基金的流向在过去几十年里发生了“彻底逆转”:20年前的补助一信贷比是70%比30%,现在的比数恰好前后掉过来。“和过去相比,一位18岁的男青年更有可能说,‘我希望现在口袋里有钱’,所以想先找一份工作干,”哈维补充道。“但多数是先贷款,当非全日制学生,每周打20多个小时的工,结果用5年的时间读完4年制的大学。”
如果考查一下那些能读完中学、继而读完学士甚至硕士的黑人男性,那么,这种教育机制的弊端就特别清楚地表现出来。
根据最近公布的一项人口普查报告,不论持有中学文凭还是大学文凭,黑人男性的薪水要比白人男性的薪水低大约25%。解析： 暂无解析 -
