    Passage Two

    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 nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else is not so clear. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become near sighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant (远处的) things clearly'.

    People who are nearsighted 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 (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). 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 (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out

    of the other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background (背景) 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.

    40. We should take good care of our eyes ______.

    A. only when we cannot see perfectly

    B. only when we can see well

    C. even if we can see well

    D. only when we realize how important our eyes are


    正确答案:C

        40.答案为C  此考题为推理题。根据作者在第1段第2句所表达的,等到我们两眼视力下降了我们才认识到眼睛的重要性,我们就可断定C正确。

  • 第3题:

    The process of perceiving others is rarely translated(to ourselves or others) into cold,objective terms."She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt." More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations,abilities, ideas, and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly--perhaps with a two-second glance.
    We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others; who are known to you so you can compare the observed person's behavior with the known others' behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for,deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person's responses to specific stimuli, asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about himor her, and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person--question, self-disclosures, and so on.
    Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly
    changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won't ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e. g. secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e. g. disclosures and truthful statement).
    ?We may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him because__________.

    A.we don't accept the idea that we might never fully know another person
    B.we often get information in a casual and inexact way
    C.we pay more attention to other people's motivations and emotions
    D.we often have face-to-face conversation with him

    答案:B
    解析:
    由第三段可知,我们可能认识一个人十年了但是还对他所知甚少,“because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise”因为我们获取信息的方式通常是不准确的,B项是对imprecise的同义转述。

    Friendship

    Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take the fact of
    friendship for granted,we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we
    get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends with only a very few一for
    example,the average among students is about 6 per person.
    Moreover,a great many relationships come under the blanket term"friendship".In all
    cases,two people like each other and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree
    of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.
    Initially,much depends on how people meet,and on favourable first impressions.As
    we get to know people,we take into account things like age,race,physical
    attractiveness,economic and social status,and intelligence.Although these factors are
    not of prime importance,it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked
    difference in age and background.
    On a more immediate level,we are sensitive to actual behaviour,facial expression,
    and tone of voice.Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at
    each other than mere acquaintances.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness,and
    it is because they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in
    making friends.A friendly gaze with the wrong facial expression can turn into an aggressive
    stare,and nervousness may be misread as hostility.People who do not look one in the eye
    are mistrusted when,in fact,they simply lack confidence.
    Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends
    to have similar ideas and beliefs,to have attitudes and interests in common一they often talk
    about"being on the same wavelength".It generally takes time to reach this point;
    sometimes people"click"immediately.The more intimately involved people become, the
    more they rely on one another.People want to do friends favours and hate to let them
    down.Equally,friends have to learn to make allowances for each other,to put up with
    irritating habits,and to tolerate differences of opinion.Imagine going camping with
    someone you occasionally meet for a drink!
    In contrast with marriage,there are no friendship ceremonies,no rituals to strengthen
    the association between two people.But the mutual support and understanding that results
    from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond,which can
    overcome differences in background,and break down barriers of age,class or race.

    Two people can be considered friends so long as they care for each other and like being together.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

  • 第6题:

    Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people.
    Furthermore, some of the most successful films in recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
    It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but it can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.
    Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just two well-known
    authors, have been translated into many languages. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future world which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obviously political undertones.
    In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.

    Which of the following statements can't prove that science fiction is very popular today 查看材料

    A.Hundreds of titles are published every year.
    B.All kinds of people love it.
    C.Some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
    D.Science fiction can be found in books written hundreds of years ago.

    Passage Five

    In every language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, consist of the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words with which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, from the members of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use even if we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the goods in trade of all those who speak the language. Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the whole people; and are not the exclusive possession of a limited class.

    On the other hand, our language includes a large number of words which are comparatively seldom used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little occasion to use them at home or in the market-place. Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mother's lips or from the talk of our school-mates, but from books that we read, lectures that we bear, or the more formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular topic in a style. raised above the habitual level of everyday life. Such words are called "learned". And the distinction between them and "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of the language.

    51. One class of words can be learned ______.

    C. from popular songs

    _________(53)
    A:even
    B:despite
    C:even if
    D:in spite of

    答案:C
    解析:
    介词with + which引导的定语从句,become acquainted with sth.“对······熟悉、了解”。
    根据前面的daily conversation以及后面的并列成分our family associates可以推断第一种词汇就是我们和家人朋友日常交流中使用的词汇。members of family“家人”。
    even if“即使”。even“尽管”。despite/in spite of“尽管”。本句话的意思是:这种词汇即使我们是文盲也知道如何使用。
    concern“有关于”。本句话的意思是:这些词汇都和生活中的常见物有关,是各行各业使用该语言的所有人的主要词汇。
    at large“一般的,总的”。at most“至多,不超过”。in public“公开的”。at best'‘充其量,至多”。该句话的意思是:这种词汇也许可以被称为“普通词”,因为它们为普通人所用,而不是专属于某个特定的阶层。
    share“份额,一份”。right“权利”。privilege“特权”。possession“财产”。该句意思同上。句子主语为such words(这样的词汇),只有share和它无论是搭配还是意思都最合适。
    comprise“由······组成”。consist的用法一般是consist of sth.,意思是“由······组成”。constitute“构成,组成”。compose的用法一般是be composed of意思是“由······组成”。因此只能选B。
    该篇文章主要介绍两种不同的词汇,而且形成一种对照。第一种词汇是日常生活中频繁使用渐渐熟悉的,即使我们是文盲也能理解。第二种词汇只有受过教育的人知道。由此推断第二种词汇在日常对话中的使用频率和第一种词汇相比肯定很低。因此这里选seldom(很少)。
    原因同上。和第一种词汇使用的场合地点形成鲜明对照,第二种词汇没有必要在市场或者家中使用。因此这里选necessity(必要性)。
    first“最初的”;pflmary“主要的”;principal“主要的”;pflor“先前的”。该句是介绍我们最初是从哪里学会第二种词汇的。
    lips“嘴唇”;tips“末端,顶端”;mouth“嘴巴”;mother's tongue“母语”。该句意思是:我们对这些词的最初了解并非从母亲口中也不是从和同学的谈话中得知,而是······
    这里是not...but...(不是······而是······)的结构。
    attend lectures为固定搭配,意思是“上课”。
    above the habitual extent(范围)of everyday life意思是:超出日常生活范围的。border“国界,边界”;link“联系,纽带”;degree“程度”。
    distinction between sth.and sth.的意思是:······和······之间的区别;diversion“转移,消遣”;diversity“种类,多样性”;similarity“类似”。本句意思是:这些词被称为“书面词”,书面词和普通词之间的区别对于我们理解语言过程意义重大。

And drought regularly afflicts some of the world’s poorest countries.  The world needs to respond much better. We need to increase water efficiency, especially in agriculture. We need to free women and girls from the daily chore of hauling water. We must involve leaders of countries in decision-making on water management. We need to make sanitation a priority. This is where progress is lagging most. And we must show that water resources need not be a source of conflict. Instead, they can be a catalyst for cooperation.  Significant gains have been made. But a major effort is still required. Our goal is to meet the internationally agreed targets for water and sanitation by 2015, and to build the foundation for further progress in the years beyond.  This is an urgent matter of human development, and human dignity. Together, we can provide safe, clean water to the entire world’s people.
