第1题：
We can learn from the fourth paragraph that
[A] a substantial cut in annual revenue is called for.
[ B] defense and social welfare programs should undergo cuts.
[ C] we should leave intact programs for bettering people's living.
[D] we should exercise less control over monetary policy.
正确答案：A
43．A【精析】该题为细节题。根据第四段第四句“To be significant， the 1981 budget should be cut by at least 20 billion dollars from 616 billion President Carter proposed.”可以看出，为了显著改善通货膨胀情况，1981年卡特总统提议的6160亿的政府预算应该至少减少200亿，即应该大量减少税收来改善通货膨胀情况，故A项符合文意；根据第四段最后一句“It's impossible if you save defense and all the programs indexed for changes in the cost ofliving．”可以看出，我们不可能通过减少国防投入和节省改善大众生活条件项目的资金来减少政府预算，故B项的表述错误；第四段没有关于如何改善人民生活的表述，故不选择C项；根据第四段第一句 “You have to start with revenue and monetary restraint.”可以看出，为了控制通货膨胀，我们应该增强对税收及货币政策的限制，而 D项的表述与文意相反，故不选择D项。 -

第3题：
根据下面资料，回答
Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries, the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
We can easily know that the underlined phrase "urban areas" in the first paragraph means_____________.A.areas of the countryside
B.areas of a town or city
C.areas near the countryside
D.areas near a town or city答案：B解析：词义题。由第一段中“…people…are moving…to go and live in big，noisy cities．They are moving…to the busy world…”可判断答案为B。 -
第4题：
The traffic lights were red when the driver reached them．To the surprise of his passenger,the ear did not slow down．Unexpectedly the passenger was thrown forward in the vehicle as the driver put on his brakes at the last moment．The car stopped just in time.
"Sorry,I didn't notice the light．I thought it was green until I saw that it was the top light which was shining."
This strange story is quite true．About ten men in every hundred are color blind in some way;women are luckier--only about one in two hundred suffers from color blindness.
In some cases,a man may not be able to see deep red．He may think that red,orange and yellow are all the same as green.
People often like one color more than others．Blue is the color of the sky and sea．Green makes us think of fields and trees．Red is the color of blood and makes some people think of danger．Black is the color of night．In the dark we cannot see what is around us so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a color.
According to the passage,we can guess it is safer to take a car driven by a woman because__.A.she drives the car more carefully
B.she sees the road more clearly
C.she can put on the brakes more quickly
D.she has less chance of being color blind答案：D解析：参见第三段。 -
第5题：
资料：Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pingeon can learm to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s peronality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allports, an American psychologist, found nearly18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types——people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.
Which of the following is NOT true?A.People differ from each in appearance
B.Different people may have different personalities
C.People can learn to recognize faces
D.People can describe all the features of others答案：D解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】NOT true
【主题句】第一段Faces, like fingerprints, are unique.（脸就像指纹一样独一无二。）；Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon --- can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.（然而，一个非常小的孩子，或者一个动物（比如企鹅），他们能学会识别面容）；Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another.（可能即使是一位熟练的作家，他也不能把两张脸不同之处的所有特点描述出来。）；第二段When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.（当谈到某个人的个性时，我们指的是他或她的行为，说话，思考和感受，这些能让个体区分他人。）
【解析】第3题问“以下哪一项不是正确选项？”。A选项“人们的外貌都有不同”，该选项和第一段第一句话“脸就像指纹一样独一无二”内容一致；B选项“不同的人可能有不同的个性”，和文章第二段第二句话一致。C选项“人们能学会识别人脸”，和第一段第四句话“然而，一个非常小的孩子，或者一个动物（比如企鹅），他们能学会识别面容”内容一致。D选项“人们能把别人的所有特点描述出来”，和文章第一段第三句内容相反，原文说“即使是一位熟练的作家，他也不能把两张脸不同之处的所有特点描述出来”，说明没有人能说出所有特点，所以D选项为错误选项。 -
第6题：
资料：When we see well，we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes，Everything else seems blurry（=unclear）.Many people who do a lot of work，such as writing，reading and sewing become near-sighted.
People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away，but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading，they must get glasses，too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism. This，too，can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now，however，it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself，look at an object out of one eye；Then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
The underlined word suffer in the third paragraph probably means______.A.feel pain
B.imagine
C.are affected with
D.experience答案：A解析：本题考查的是推理判断。

第三篇
How We Form First Impression
We all have first impression of someone、just met.But why? Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits?
The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be~of the world.Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits,Even very minor difference in how a person'5 eyes,ears,nose,or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different.In fact,your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information-the sights and sounds of your world.These incoming signals are compared against a host of "memories"stored in the brain areas called the cortex(皮质）system to determine what these new signals"mean".
If you see someone you know and like at school,your brain says"familiar and safe".If you see someone new it says,"new and potentially threatening".Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other"known"memories.The height,weight,dress,ethnicity,gestures,and tone of voice are all matched up.The more unfamiliar the characteristics are,the more your brain may say,"This is new.I don ' t like this person ".Or else , " I'm intrigued（好奇的）".Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes,ethnicity,gestures-like your other friends;so your brain says,"I like this person".But these preliminary"impressions"can be dead wrong.
When we stereotype people,we use a less mature form of thinking(not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child)that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others.Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people-their history,interest
values,strengths,and true character-we categorize them as jocks（骗子）,peeks（反常的人）,or freaks（怪人）.
However,if we resist initial stereotypical impressions,we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like.If we spend time with a person,hear about his or her life,hopes,dreams,and become aware of the person's character,we use a different,more mature style of thinking-and the most complex areas of our cortex,which allow us to be humane。Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A:One's physical appearance can influence our first impression.
B:Our first impression is influenced by the sensitivity of our brain.
C:Stereotypical impressions can be dead wrong.
D:We should adopt mature thinking when getting to know people.答案：B解析：本文主要讲述了人们对陌生人的第一印象是如何形成的。
由文章第二段第二句和第三句话“Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits.Even very minor difference in...makes you see him or her as different.”可知，大脑对面部特征十分敏感，即使是每个人在眼睛、、耳朵或嘴部的细小差异也会使大脑察觉到其不同之处。由此可步测出，面部特征是我们对陌生人第一印象的重要影响因素。故选C。
由文章第三段倒数第二句话“Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes.so your brain says , 'I like this person'.”可知，当我们见到-个陌生人，但是他/她的服饰、毛势、民族特征等和我们的朋友相似时，我们的大脑就会产生一种“我喜欢他/她”的信号：故选C。
由文章第三段最后-句话“But these preliminary 'impressions' can be dead wrong.”可知，我们对别人的最初印象可能是完全错误的。"preliminary”意思为“初步的，开始的”，与initial（最初的开始的）意思相近。故选C。simplistic过分简单的；stereotypical模式化的；categorical明确的，至对的。
由文章第四段中“When we stereotype people...Rather than learn about the depth an breadth of people”可知，当我们对-个人形成模式化的印象之后，我们会用-种不成熟的思维方式来看待他，却没有去了解他思想上和人格上的深度和广度。故选A。
文章第-段提出了“为什么我们在还没有真正了解-个人时就已经形成了对他的第－印象？”这个问题；文章第二段前两句说这与大脑如何感知世界是息息相关的，大脑对面部特至十分敏感；文章第二、三和四段进一步论述了这-问题；文章最后一段讲如果我们拒绝模式不的第-印象，那么我们就会用更成熟的思维来了解-个人。由此可看出本文主要讲的是大脑对面部特征的敏锐感知使我们形成了对别人的第一印象。故选B。 -

单选题How can we remember things more easily according to the woman?ABy connecting them with a physical object.
BBy looking at them very carefully first.
CBy having people remind US of them.
正确答案： B解析：
对话中女士提到如果你想记住某件事，think of a physical thing that reminds you of，她还举例说明：如果想记住黑斯廷斯战争（the Battle of Hastings）发生的时间1066年，可以联想一个标有1066标签的瓶子（bottle）。
【录音原文】
M: Today on mind matters, I’m talking to Dr Ann Winters, an expert on human memory. Ann, welcome to the program. Now, I suppose the first question everyone would ask is: what exactly is human memory?
W: Well, like so many easy questions, the answer isn’t very simple. Basically, human memory is a compartment in people’s brains where they store images rather like the hard disc drive in a computer. And like a hard disc drive, our memories can become infected or even wiped out by accidents. But the comparison breaks down when we consider that we can train our memories to expand and work better which computers can’t manage yet.
M: When you talk about memory being infected, do you mean by a disease?
W: Yes. For instance, people suffering from a physiological disease like Alzheimer: forget things that happened in the past. And they also forget how to perform simple tasks like tying their shoelaces. The good news is that brain exercises can help keep the brain young. Research has shown that people who have better educations and more mentally active jobs have a lower risk of developing the disease.
M: And how can someone exercise his brain? By thinking a lot?
W: In a way, yes. But you can also practice using your memory which not only exercises your brain but also improves you ability to remember things. Unfortunately, a lot of devices in modern life are designed to make sure we don’t t forget things which can make our brains more idle and weaken our memories.
M: Can you give us some examples of how to exercise our memories?
W: Sure, there is a very simple technique, although it works better for some people than for others. When you want to remember something, think of a physical thing it reminds you of. If I want to remember a date from history, let’s say, 1066, the date of the Battle of Hastings. I might think that battle reminds me of bottle, so I think of a bottle with the number 1066 written on the label. And I just picture that bottle to myself. -

Text 3
When the first white men arrived in Samoa, they found blind men, who could see well enough to describe things in detail just by holding their hands over objects. In France, Jules Roman tested hundreds of blind people and found a few who could tell the difference between light and dark. He narrowed their photosensitivity(感光灵敏度) down to areas on the nose or in the finger tips. In 1960 a medical board examined a girl in Virginia and found that, even with thick bandages over her eyes, she was able to distinguish different colours and read short sections of large print.
Rosa Kuleshova, a young woman in the Urals, can see with her fingers. She is not blind, but because she grew up in a family of blind people, she learned to read Braille to help them and then went on to teach herself to do other things with her hands. She was examined by the Soviet Academy of Science, and proved to be genuine, Shaefer made an intensive study with her and found that, securely blindfolded with only her arms stuck through a screen, she could tell the difference between three primary colours. To test the possibility that the cards reflected heat differently, he heated some and cooled others without affecting her response to them. He also found that she could read newsprint under glass, so texture was giving her no clues. She was able to identify the colour and shape of patches of light projected on to her palm or on to a screen. In rigidly controlled tests, with a blindfold and a screen and a piece of card around her neck so wide that she could not see round it, Rosa read the small print in a newspaper with her elbow. And, in the most convincing demonstration of all, she repeated these things with someone standing behind her pressing hard on her eyeballs. Nobody can cheat under this pressure.
31. The first white men to visit Samoa found people who ______.
A) were not entirely blind
B) described things by touching them
C) could see with their hands
D) could see when they hold out their hands

To prove this to yourself，look at an object out of one eye；Then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
We should take good care of our eyes______.A.even if we can see well
B.only when we cannot see perfectly
C.only when we realize how important our eyes are
D.only when we can see well答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】take good care of；our eyes
【主题句】第1自然段When we see well，we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are. 当我们看东西很清楚的时候，我们不经常想到我们的眼睛。只有当我们无法完美地看到时，我们才意识到我们的眼睛多么重要。
【解析】本题的问题是“我们应该好好保护我们的眼睛________”A选项“即使我们能看得很清楚”；B选项“当我们无法完美地看到时”；C选项“只有当我们意识到我们的眼睛有多重要时”；D选项“只有在我们能够看得出来的时候”。根据主题句分析可知，我们无论何时都要保护好眼睛，不要在看不清的时候才意识到严重性，故A选项符合题意。 -

Things We Know about TV
We keep reading that TV is bad for you.If this is true,how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are?In my home,the only people who can work the remote control are the children.
Perhaps TV does educate you.For example,you learn a useful medical fact:A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies.“The killer was…” (dies).
But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as"Life Skills".Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights.Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas.And contrary to what scientists say,the crack（霹雳）of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time,wherever you are.
Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security.Consider these truths.If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys,don't worry about being outnumbered.The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all.
TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn.If anyone is running after you down a passage,you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. If you are tall and handsome,you can run from any number of armed criminals,and every shot will miss you.
Be warned, however. If your name card says "henchman"（帮凶）and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying' to catch a handsome individual,a single shot will kill you.
TV even teaches us about TV.Whenever anyone turns on a TV,it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world__________.
A:bad things cause people to break down in the rain
B:bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights
C:people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas
D:the crack of lightning and the flash don't harmen at the same time答案：D解析：细节题。第二段第二句：你学到了一个有用的医学事实：被枪击的人总是在他死前有时间说出一句不完整的话。这句话明显是体现了幽默，有着讽刺的意味。B选项 sympathy“同情”、C选项deep concern“非常关心”、D选项medical knowledge“医学知识”都是错误的。
细节题。第三段很多是电视中的情景，根据作者幽默讽刺的语气可知现实生活不一定是这样的。最后一句指出，闪电的霹雳声与相伴的闪其实不是同时发生的。
细节题。最后一段可知：任何时候一个人打开电视，它就会显示一则关于他们知道的人的新闻快讯。
推断题。通篇阅读后可知，作者以幽默、讽刺的手法描写了电视，可以得知，作者对电视持消极的态度。A选项“积极的”、B选项“轻松的”、D选项“漠不关心的”都是错误的。
主旨题。A、B、C都和作者态度相反，只有D选项是正确的，本文大意是电视上演的与现实生活是不同的。 -

第23题：
单选题A lot of blind people in the world have to suffer because ______.AORBIS didn’t do its best to offer help
Bthere is no good medical knowledge and skills
Csome countries can’t afford medical knowledge and skills
Ddeveloping countries don’t pay much attention to the blind
正确答案： D解析：
细节理解题。在谈到有2800人不用受苦，作者紧接着说“Unluckily, rich countries have this knowledge, but developing countries do not”，很多发展中国家不知道这些。下文又提到ORBIS为这些国家提供支持。所以世界上还有许多盲人受苦是因为有些国家无法支付他们学习知识的费用。
