答案
小题1:C
小题2:A
小题3:B
小题4:A
解析
小题1:C. 人口。答案在第六句,“那时罗马计算人头作为征税的适当基础,目的很简单。”
A. 财富。 B. 流动性。 C. 人口调查员。
小题2: A. 正把统计研究从文科转变成理科。这是从第六句开始讲的一种观点。“现在,政府机构和私人组织的一系列复杂的统计数字,由智者和先知人物殷切地浏览和解释以取得预先外未来事件的线索。圣经并没有告诉我们罗马的人口调查员是怎么调查统计的。至于我们当前更加关心的问题:目前经济预测的可靠性,意见分歧很大。美国统计协会125周年庆祝活动上,人们在大肆宣扬这些不同观点。有一种说法是经济预测可能正从文科转向科学(理科)发展。有些人兴高采烈大谈新型计算机和非常高级数学系统。”作者虽然没有明说,明眼人一看便知,艺术向科学转变正是美国统计协会在把统计学从文科转向理科。所以A. 对。
B. 在商业预测方面具有杰出的记录。不对。实际上“平均成功率还低于the Mets”
C. 既没有希望也不乐观。文内没有提及。只提作者他们半喜半忧离开协会。
D. 以数学的精确性来说话。见下道题解释。协会部分人却有此看法“数学精确性。”
小题3:B. 统计学(到现在为止)还不是一门科学(理科)。文章最后几句话。“连统计协会的主席也告戒说高能统计法在实际材料原始和不允许的地方一般发挥正常。这跟低级的,不合适的统计员所假定的正好相反。我们怀着忧“希”掺半的心情离开周年庆祝宴会,怀着确实不是新近才有的信念,相信应用于确切材料上恰当的统计法在经济预测中有它的贡献,只要预测人员和公众不受蒙蔽,误呆板所述概率和趋势当作数学精确无比的预测就行。”
A. 统计员从罗马时代起就没向前进步过。 C. 统计员爱计算机。这两项文内没有提到。 D. 计算机前程远大。文内只讲了有些人怀着兴高采烈的心情大讲新型计算机和非常高级数学“系统”,暗示了计算机大有希望。但不是所有人都这样认为的。最重要的计算机的应用并不能改变这个事实:统计学不是立刻,而是文科。所以B. 对。
小题4: A. 基督,圣诞节,指基督的诞生。圣经中的一个故事。
B. the Mets. 圣经中率领希伯莱人出埃及的领袖,也作放债的犹太人讲。 C. 摩西。 D. 罗马人口调查员。

But, beginning in the 1700s, the deaf were taught a special language. Using this language, they could share thoughts and ideas with others. The language they used was a language without sound. It was a sign language.
How did this sign language work? The deaf were taught to make certain movements with their hands, faces and bodies. These movements stood for things and ideas. A man might move his finger across his lips. This meant, “You are not telling the truth.” He might tap his chin (下巴, 下颚)with three fingers. This meant “my uncle”.
The deaf were also taught to use a finger alphabet(字母表). They used their fingers to make letters of the alphabet. In this way, they spelled out words. Some deaf people could spell out words at a speed of 130 words per minute.
Sign language and finger spelling are not used as much as they once could. Today, the deaf are taught to understand others by watching their lips. They are also taught how to speak.
小题1:The passage is mainly about ___ .
A.how the deaf communicate with others |
B.teaching the deaf to speak with their mouths |
C.learning how to spell words with one’s hands |
D.how sign languages came into being |
A.there is still no way to communicate with the deaf |
B.the deaf must have special teachers to teach them |
C.in order to make a living, deaf people must make signs |
D.it is not very difficult for the deaf to learn sign language |
A.It helped them learn to read |
B.The deaf could understand sign languages even if they had not learned them |
C.It helped them to communicate with other people |
D.It helped them speak with their mouths |
A.Deaf people draw signs | B.Deaf people read with their fingers |
C.Many deaf people now can speak | D.Deaf people can hear what others say now |
Laufen owes its former economical and cultural significance to the river Salzach,which forms a peninsula with its sharp curves(弯) there.
Laufen’s economic boom began with the salt trade and the shipping on the river.The salt—mainly coming from Hallein and Bad Reichenhall—was loaded onto bigger ships downstream,which made Laufen one of the most important ports of shipment for salt in Salzburg and Bavaria.
The archbishop(大教主) of Salzburg had given special privileges to the people who were involved in the shipping of salt on the river Salzach.
The Napoleonic Wars brought occupation and serious disturbances.They brought the sudden end to the independent state of the Duke—Archbishop of Salzburg.The end of the 18th century brought a decrease in shipping because of the general economic situation.On the 1st May 1816 Salzburg definitively became a part of Austria (Munich agreement) that’s why the Salzach became the border between Bavaria and Austria.Laufen’s suburbs Oberndorf and Altach were divided up.The number of inhabitants fell from 1392 to 809.Even the re-unification of the two towns’shipsmen’s guilds(行会) and the reorganization of 1928 could not prevent the decline of shipping which finally came to an end in the late 19th century.
小题1:________played an important role in Laufen’s economy and culture life.
A.Salt | B.Shipment | C.Guilds | D.Theriver Salzach |
A.pleasant sounds | B.sudden increase | C.sudden decrease | D.trade |
A.how the economy declined in Laufen |
B.the effects of The Napoleonic Wars |
C.how the twin towns of LAUFEN and OBERNDORF came into being |
D.the history of Salzburg |
The ancient Zhaozhou stone bridge started to be built in 590 during the Sui Dynasty (581~618) and established in 608.The pioneer for building the bridge was Li Chun who overcame unimaginable difficulties,undergoing all hardships.The location of the bridge is in Zhao County south,Hebei Province.It lay across the Xiaoshui River,far away from the mountains that provided rocky materials.In ancient times,it was such a busy,deep and wide river that could be used as an important carriage to transport heavy rocks and other materials.As we know,no train,no lifting machine could be used to move granite(花岗岩)blocks to the construction site.As an intelligent stonemason and engineer,Li Chun worked out his plan and design all from his own direct observation and investigation.It took his whole life-time in completing the great historical project inChina.Nowadays it is not only a historical remarkable model of architecture,but also a brilliant Chinese cultural crystallization(结晶) of wisdom.
The entire length of the bridge is 50.82 meters with 10 meters width.The whole stone bridge looks like a big bow,the span of which is 37.02 meters,and its height from the top to the surface of water at a regular position is 7.23 meters.The bridge arch seems to be moving smoothly and flatly.The whole arch consists of 28 big granite blocks connected each other tightly together.On both end sides of the general arch there are 4 smaller arches,2 of which on one side,the other 2 on the other side.The smaller arches could be used to decrease the weight of the bridge and save stone materials,and help flood get through easily,which seems to be much prettier.Such a hard-thinking and careful consideration of the engineering article is really a model of design and layout.The span was much wider than the other stone bridge in ancient times all over China.
Today Zhaozhou Stone Bridge is one of international cultural relics and perfectly protected and preserved by the concerned administration of China.
小题1:The best title of this passage is _________.
A.Great engineer in ancient China | B.Zhaozhou stone bridge |
C.Four great inventions | D.How to build a bridge |
A.the materials of Zhaozhou bridge | B.the structure of Zhaozhou bridge |
C.the arches of Zhaozhou bridge | D.the importance of Zhaozhou bridge |
A.cart | B.transport | C.channel | D.resourse |
Archers shoot at targets at 30, 50, 70 or 90 meters" distance from them. The targets are round,80 centimeters across, and have 5 circles painted round the centre. Bows are made of steel, wood and strong plastic, and arrows of wood. The sport is enjoyed in the open air in summer and in a building in winter. Archery is good for the chest, the arms and the back. Men and women can shoot together since being strong is not so important. Women usually use lighter bows. People who can"t walk or who have been ill can also enjoy it. For Zen Buddhists(佛教徒) archery is not only a sport but also something deeper. It helps the individual to understand himself and the meaning of life.
小题1:Good archers, were needed by countries in order to_______.
A.make bows and arrows | B.hunt animals |
C.do drawings | D.kill enemies |

D.a dead animal used for shooting-practice |
When the US Civil War ended, many soldiers had no place to call home. So, they began to drift to the country"s rural West. Ranchers(农场主) hired these men to take care of the cattle and work around the ranch. When the ranch owner wanted to sell the cattle, the cowboys would round up the herd from the open prairie(牧场) and drive the cattle miles to the market.
With the invention of barbed wire(铁丝网),the cowboy era(1865-1890) began to come to an end. But people in the East had always been curious about their lifestyle. Many country/western songs during this time tried to capture the true cowboy spirit. Newspapers published cowboy tales in serial form and adventure novels followed. The bigger the fiction, the better the sales. These novels often portrayed cowboys as cruel and violent men. Cowboys carried the bad reputation for many years afterwards.
When movies began to be popular in the 1920s,the cowboy image changed again. Now, a cowboy became the great white knight(骑士) that loved his horse more than the beautiful ladies he rescued. As the cowboy of the “Old West” spent more time with his horse than the ladies, this era"s image was not entirely false.
Then, in the 50s,Hollywood began producing so-called “spaghetti westerns(意大利西部片)”.They earned the nickname because Italian companies financed the films and TV shows. This started the decade"s “Cowboy Craze”.While this didn"t last long, it made modern country/western music, fashion and dance extremely popular.
In recent years, with the help of musicians, radio stations and bars, cowboy nostalgia(怀旧情绪) has returned. Even though his image is still changing—somewhere between ballad singing country boy and barroom fighter—there"s one thing for sure, you can"t keep the cowboy down.
小题1:The purpose of this story is to _______.
A.introduce cowboy movies and novels |
B.introduce various productions associated with cowboys |
C.show the cowboy"s everlasting charm |
D.inform us about the cowboy"s spirit |
A.served in the army | B.worked as bar-room fighters |
C.owned ranches | D.were adventurous explorers |
A.the cowboy often came to the rescue of ladies in newspaper tales |
B.the distant Wild West appealed to people in the East |
C.cowboys were shown as cruel and violent men on the silver screen |
D.country music started the cowboy craze which swept the whole country |
A.cowboys are real people in history | B.cowboys still fascinate people |
C.you can"t make cowboys unhappy | D.you can"t grasp the cowboy spirit |
