答案
解析
1. C 由上文暗示可预期:理论上说,一个人越早学语言,他(她)会越容易学好。“The +比较级,the+比较级”表示“越来越……”。C、D为可选项,而D意不符,故选C。
2. B 考查转折连词的使用区别。but连接句子时其后不可用逗号;however前后可用逗号隔开;though常放于句末;yet与but相似,故选however。
3.D 根据上下文暗示可预期:练习语言的基本表达能力……,A、B、C都不符和句意,故选expressions表达。
4.A 由上下文提示可预期:直接通过合适的阅读方法和努力,才能形成能力,而orally意为“口头”;properly意为“合适地”,因上文已出现proper reading ways,故有重复之嫌;indirectly意为“间接地”;故选directly(直接地)。
5. C 由上下文可预期,谈论的对象即是children孩子。
6.D 由上下文可预期:先是花钱去学,而后是失望收场。A、B与句意不合,finish不与up with搭配,end up with意为“以……结束”。
7. A 根据句意可预期:付(花)钱多,失望大。take常用在结构:it takes sb some time / money to do sth 花某人时间或钱做某事;B、C与句意不符。
8.C 由上下文暗示可预期:因为不喜欢才来了一位学英语的大学生,从而开发了她的兴趣;故选disliked不喜欢。其他不符。
9.A 因为外籍教师对心理学的盲点,才导致她厌学。because和because均表示“因为”,但前者为连词,后者为介词;instead of是介词;instead是副词。故用because of。
10.D 介词to 意为“对……而言(来说)”。
11.A. go on doing指继续不停地做同一件事;go on to do指继续去做另一件事;go on with sth 指停顿后接着去做同一件事;D为干扰项,故选learning。
12.C. when表示“当时”,相当于and at that time;while表示“在……时候”;where表示“在……地方”;as表示“因为”、“在……时候”。
13.D. introduced意为“介绍”;practised意为“练习”;explained意为“解释”,均不合句意,而developed(开发)正合语境。
14.A have some difficulty / trouble (in)doing sth意为“做某事遇到困难”。
15. B 由上下文可判断。
16.A 根据上下文可预期:发音好但词汇量不够——缺陷,故选pronunciation。
17.C 根据上文可知,表否定但无比较,可知选项为A、C;而few修饰可数名词,故选little修饰不可数名词。
18. D 根据文意,文章显然为记散文,可知选项为C、D,相比之处,remember(追忆,记得)不如memorize(记住)恰当。
19.C 因在四个选项中只有cause后接不定式的复合结构时不定式要带to。
20. B get back意为“回来,返回”;let go意为“放开,错过”;bring in意为“引来,吸收”;go away意为“走开,离开”。

举一反三
They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.
“Many people don’t trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday. “If they buy it in a store and don’t like it, they can easily bring it back.”
The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24. Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.
China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.
1. A typical Chinese Internet user will be the one who ______.
A. likes to send e-mails B. likes to buy goods online
C. likes to pay for entertainment D. likes the games sites
2. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China mainly because ______.
A. it is more difficult for sales returns B. people haven’t computers
C. people can’t have a look at the goods D. goods bought online are of low quality
3. Which of the following words fails to describe the typical netizens in the five cities?
A. well educated B. richer C. female D. young
4. According to the text, which of the following shows the right relation between online people and their ages?
A. B.
C. D.
The report, based on scores of the 2005 high school graduates who took the exam, some 1.2 million students in all, also found that fewer than one in four met the college-readiness benchmarks①in all four subjects tested: reading comprehension, English, math and science.
ACT sets its college-readiness benchmarks — including the reading comprehension benchmark, which is new this year—by correlating②earlier students’ ACT scores with grades they actually received as college freshmen. Based on that data, the benchmarks indicate the skill level at which a student has a 70 percent likelihood③ of earning a C or better, and a 50 percent chance of earning a B or better.
Among those who took the 2005 test, only 51 percent achieved the benchmark in reading, 26 percent in science, and 41 percent in math; the figure for English was 68 percent. Results from the new optional ACT writing test, which was not widely taken this year, were not included in the report.
About 40 percent of the nation’s 2005 high school graduates took the ACT, and the average overall score was unchanged from the year before. Minority students make up 27 percent of all ACT test takers. Besides, there are also other worrying trends in the ACT report as well, including a continuing decline in the percentage of students planning to major in engineering, computer science and education.
Notes:
① benchmark n. 基准
② correlate v. 联系
③ likelihood n. 可能性
1. The report from ACT mainly tells readers the problem that ______.
A. few minority students graduates took ACT
B. many who intend to go to college are not ready
C. the college-readiness benchmarks is high this year
D. the tests for some subjects are too difficult
2. According to the benchmarks in 2005, about how many students will not earn C?
A. 30 percent. B. 70 percent. C. 50 percent. D. 26 percent.
3. Which of the following pictures can correctly show the numbers of the students who achieve the benchmark in different subjects?
A. B.
C. D.
4. Which of the followings can be found in the report from ACT in 2005?
A. The report about the writing test is very objective.
B. More boy students are not good at science and math.
C. The percentage of students majoring science declined.
D. The average score of 2005 ACT participants changed greatly.
A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE) refers to an economy which has a minimal emission of greenhouse gas (GHG), namely, carbon dioxide into the biosphere(生物圈). Recently, most of the scientists and the public hold the opinion that the climate is changing because there is such an accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere due to human activities. The over-concentration of these gases is producing global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future. LCE, therefore, is proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change.
All nations which are considered carbon intensive societies and societies which are heavily populated should become zero-carbon societies and economies. Several of these countries have promised to become "low carbon" but not entirely zero carbon, and claim that emissions will be cut by 100% by balancing emissions rather than ceasing all emissions.
Nuclear power and the strategies of carbon capture and storage (CCS) have been proposed as the primary means to achieve a LCE while continuing to exploit non-renewable resources. Scientists are afraid, however, whether the spent-nuclear-fuel can be stored, and whether it is secure. Also they are not certain about the costs and time needed to successfully implement CCS worldwide and whether the stored emissions will leak into the biosphere or not. Alternatively, many have proposed renewable energy should be the main basis of a LCE, but, they have their associated problems of high-cost and inefficiency; this is changing, however, since investment and production have been growing significantly in recent times. Furthermore, it has been proposed that to make the transition to an LCE economically attractive we would have to attach a cost (per unit output) to GHGs through means such as emissions trading and/or a carbon tax.
A LCE is aimed to integrate all aspects of itself from its manufacturing, agriculture, transportation to power-generation around technologies that produce energy and materials with little GHG emission and thus around populations, buildings, machines and devices which use those energies and materials efficiently and dispose of or recycle its wastes so as to have a minimal output of GHGs.
Title: 71
I. 72 : an economy with a minimal output of GHG
II. 73 of the present economy:
● global warming
● long-term climate change
● 74 on humanity
III. 75 :
● to produce energy and materials with little GHG emission
● to use those energies and materials efficiently
● to have 76 of GHGs
IV. 77 to achieve a LCE:
●nuclear power
●the strategies of carbon capture and storage
● renewable energy
● 78
● a carbon tax
V. 79 :
● spent-nuclear-fuel storage / storage of spent-nuclear-fuel
● 80
● uncertainty about the costs and time needed
A political scientist from Indiana University whose work exploring how people come together to preserve their collective resources may provide important clues in the fight against climate change has become the first woman to win the Nobel prize for economics.
Elinor Ostrom, 76, shares 2009 Nobel prize with fellow American academic Oliver Williamson, 77. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced to the world the pair had been chosen to win the 40th prize in economic sciences.
For Ostrom, the award came, as a "big surprise". To rise to the peak of her area of learning has been a big journey, as she has had to struggle against her own weaknesses and the barriers of the system. At school in Los Angeles, she suffered from stuttering. She also faced the barriers common to most women of her generation entering the sciences --- she was discouraged from taking a PhD when she applied for graduate school.
Her field of study has been striking for how cross-disciplinary it is. Early on she gained a reputation for bringing economics, political science and sociology together.
What interests her is how common property can be managed successfully through groups in society. The findings of her research have been striking, as the Nobel committee pointed out, because they have challenged the traditional assumption that common property is poorly managed unless it is either controlled by government or privatized. She has shown how different individuals can band together and form collectives that protect the resource at hand.
“A lot of people are waiting for more international co-operation to solve global warming.” Ostrom said , “It is important that there is international agreement, but we can be taking steps at family level, community level, civic and national level … There are many steps that can be taken. That will not solve it on their own but continuously will make a big difference.”
81. How did Ostrom feel when she got the prize? (not more than 3 words)
82. What does “cross-disciplinary” mean according to the passage? (not more than 9 words)
83. Why was Ostrom advised not to take a PhD when she applied for graduate school? (not more than 9 words)
84. Why was Ostrom awarded the Nobel prize for economics? (not more than 16 words)
spread throughout the year, If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form.
Sand begins as tiny pieces of rock that get smaller and smaller as wind and weather wear them down. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Bit by bit, the
dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.
There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, cliffs (悬崖) and deep valleys were formed from thick mud that once lay beneath a sea more than millions of years ago. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand , rain, heat and cold all wore away at the remaining rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing –-very, very slowly ---as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.
Most deserts have a surprising variety of life. There are plants, animals and insects that :have adapted to life in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.
