Part III Reading Comprehension(45minutes,25points)

Section A

Directions:In this section.,there are four passages followed by question.s or unfinished statements,each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer an.d mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.

Passage One

An unidentified wit once said,"laugh,and the world laughs with you.Snore,and you sleep alone."Yet snoring is far from a laughing matter,as those unfortunates with good hearing,who are rightly subjected to the sounds of the snoring disorder,will testify.

It has been estimated that one of eight Americans snores:this means that there are approximately21million people-women as well as men-who render an unpleasant sound when they are asleep.And assuming that each snorer disturbs the sleep of at least one other person,it necessarily follows that there are21million unhappy listeners.While a sleeping person breathes,

either in or out,several structures in his nose and throat generate the snoring.The sounds,coming

from the soft palate and other soft structures of the throat,are caused by vibratory responses to inflowing and outflowing air.When the soft tissues of the mouth and throat come close to the lining

of the throat,the vibrations that occur are caused by the position of the tongue.In short,the noise

made by snoring can be compared to the noise when breezes flutter a flag on a pole.The frequency

of the vribrations depends on the size,density,and elasticity of the affected tissues and on the force

of the air flow.Although it is usually the process of in haling or exhaling through the mouth that

cause snoring,short snores come from the nose of an open-mouthed sleeper.In all fairness to

snorers,however,it should be emphasized that snoring is an involuntary out which stops as the offender is awakened.

21.The snoring is caused by

A.the soft palate and other structures of the throat

B.the inflowing and outflowing air through the nose

C.the inflowing and outflowing air through mouth

D.the vibrations as a result of the inflowing and outflowing air

22.If a person produces short snores,most probably he has.

A.a soft palate

B.a big nose

C.an open mouth

D.a small throat

23.The author's attitude towards the snorers is

A.objective

B.subjective

C.sympathetic

D.annoyed

Passage Two

Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life.Relationships with family, friends,neighbours,even pets,will all do the trick,but the biggest longevity(长寿)boost seems

to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship.The effect was first noted in1858by William Farr,who wrote that widows and widowers(鳏夫)were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers.Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man's life and two to a woman's.The effect holds for all causes of death,whether illness,accident or self-harm.

Even if the odds are stacked against you,marriage can more than compensate.Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart.Likewise.,a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn't smoke. There's a flip side,however,as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse's death,and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems.Even so,the odds favour marriage.In a30-years study of more than 10,000people,Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.

So how does it work?The effects are complex,affected by socio-economic factors,health-service provision,emotional support and other more physiological(生理的)mechanisms.For example,social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system,leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life.People in supportive relationships may handle stress better.Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.

A life partner,children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live t0100.The ultimate social network is still being mapped out,but Christakis says:"People are interconnected,

so their health is interconnected."

24.William Farr's study and other studies show that_.

A.social life provides an effective cure for illness

B.being sociable helps improve one's quality of life

C.women benefit more than men from marriage

D.marriage contributes a great deal to longevity

25.Linda Waite's studies support the idea that_.

A.older men should quit smoking to stay healthy

B.marriage can help make up for ill health

C.the married are happier than the unmarried

D.unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life

26.It can be inferred from the context that the"flip side"(Line5,Para.2)refers to

A.the disadvantages of being married

B.the emotional problems arising from marriage

C.the responsibility of taking care of one's family

D.the consequence of a broken marriage

27.What does the author say about social networks?

A.They have effects similar to those of a marriage.

B.They help develop people's community spirit.

C.They provide timely support for those in need.

D.They help relieve people of their life's burdens.

28.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.It's important that we develop a social network when young.

B.To stay healthy,one should have a proper social network.

C.Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.

D.We should share our social networks with each other.

Passage Three

Rescuers have found the bodies of over130people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh.

The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April21.Hundreds more are missing or feared dead.

The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhaka as strong winds and rain

hit the South Asian country.The government has since banned all ferries and other boats from travelling at night during the April-May stormy season.

One of the ferries,MV Mitali,was carrying far more people than it was supposed to.About400 passengers fitted into a space made for just300,police said the second ferry carried about100 passengers."The number of deaths is certain to rise,"said an official in charge of the rescue work.

"No one really knows how many people were on board or how many of them survived."Ferries in Bangladesh don't always keep passenger lists,making it difficult to determine the exact number of

people on board.Besides the ferry accidents,at least40people were killed and400injured by lightning strikes,falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats.

Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh,as are boating accidents.Ferry disasters

take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of130million people.Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures,too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions.Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh.It is a country covered

by about230rivers.Some20,000ferries use the nation's waterways(水路)every year.And many

of them are dangerously overcrowded(过度拥挤).Since1977,more than3,000people have died in some260boating accidents.

29.How many people have been found dead in the two ferry disasters?

A.More than130.

B.Over3,000.

C.About400.

D.At least40.

30.The two ferry disasters occurred

A.at noon

B.in the morning

C.at night

D.in the afternoon

31.How many passengers were MV Mitali designed to carry?

A.440

B.100

C.400-

D.300

32.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the boating accidents?

A.Strong winds.

B.Bad weather conditions.

C.Blockage of waterways.

https://www.360docs.net/doc/e72170924.html,ck of safety measures.

33.Which of the following statements is NOT true of the two ferry disasters?

A.They traveled during the April-May stormy season.

B.They sank on April21.

C.The exact number of deaths could be easily determined.

D.They sank somewhere near Dhaka.

34.What is the passage mainly talking about?

A.The reason which caused the disasters.

B.The bad weather conditions in Bangladesh.

C.Ferries are common means of transport.

D.The bad effects of the two ferry disasters in Bangladesh.

Passage Four

In general,our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic(官僚主

义的)management in which man becomes a small,well~oiled cog in the machinery.The oiling is done with higher wages,well-ventilated factories and piped music,and by psychologists and "human-relations"experts;yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless,

that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and that he is bored with it.In fact,the blue

and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.

The worker and employee are anxious,not only because they might find themselves out of a job;they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life.

They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings.

Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious.Their lives are no less empty than

.. those of their subordinates.They are even more insecure m some respects.They are in a highly competitive race.To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of

self-respect.When they apply for their first job,they are tested for intelligence as well as for the

tight mixture of submissiveness and independence.From that moment on they are tested again and again by the psychologists,for whom testing is a big business,and by their superiors,who judge

their behavior,sociability,capacity to get along,etc.This constant need to prove that one is as

good as or better than one's fellow competitor creates constant anxiety and stress,the very causes of unhappiness and illness.

Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth-century"free enterprise"capitalism?Certainly not.Problems are never solved by returning to a

stage which one has already outgrown.I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities-

those of love and of reason-are the aims of all social arrangements.Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end,and should be prevented from ruling man.

35.By"a well-oiled cog in the machinery"the author intends to render the idea that man is

A.a necessary part of the society though each individual's function is negligible

B.working in complete harmony with the rest of the society

C.an unimpmtant part in comparison with the rest of the society,though functioning smoothly

D.a humble component of the society,especially when working smoothly

36.The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that.

A.they are likely to lose their jobs

B.they have no genuine satisfaction or interest in life

C.they are faced with the fundamental realities of human existence

D.they are deprived of their individuality and independence

37.From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs to those_.

A.who are at the bottom of the society

B.who are higher up in their social status

C.who prove better than their fellow-competitors

D.who could keep far away from this competitive world

38.To solve the present social problems the author suggests that we should.

A.resort to the production mode of our ancestors

B.offer higher wages to the workers and employees

C.enable man to fully develop his potentialities

D.take the fundamental realities for granted

39.The author's attitude towards industrialism might best be summarized as one of.

A.approval

B.dissatisfaction

C.suspicion

D.tolerance

40.Which is not true in the following sentence?

A.We should return to the pre-industrial mode of production.

B.They are anxious because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction.

C.Should be prevented from ruling man.

D.Enable man to fully develop his potentialities.

Section B

Directions:In this section,you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on.iL

The blog and comments are followed by questions or un finished statements,each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.

Psychologists warn that plastic surgery can lead to an identity crisis,among other psychological issues.If you were a fan of the MTV reality series The Hills,you'll remember the complete physical transformation of Heidi Montag.In mere months,she went from a petite(矮小),natural beauty from Colorado to resembling some sort of blonde Barbie as a result of multiple facial and body reconstructive surgeries that she didn't even attempt to hide from the public.What's worse is that she

was in her early20s at the time.

We all figured that deep psychological issues were at the root of Montag's shocking procedure list,and now,according to a number of U.S.psychologists,we can safely assume that she may also

be suffering from an identity crisis.

Psychologist Paul Lorene tells the Daily Mail that most patients undergo cosmetic surgery for the wrong reasons,wanting to look similar to a particular model or actor."They have this glorified

picture of this perfect identity,"he says,and this can lead to deep psychological problems when the patients discover the identity they were after isn't actually perfect.

Often people don't realize the attachments they have to their facial features until they alter them

with surgery.Perhaps you always hated your large nose,but whether you liked it or not,it was a

pafl of you for your life thus far.If you have surgery to make it smaller,it is reasonable to believe

that your self identity could suffer if you end up feeling disconnected from your own face that is now unfamiliar.

Do you think cosmetic surgeries can cause identity crisis?

Comment l:

The image that people see in the mirror and take for granted actually runs deeper.After

appearance-altering surgery,some patients come to realize"that imperfection is actually part of their identity".

Comment2:

The identity crisis exists long before the surgery takes place.If you don't get plastic surgery you will still have an identity crisis.I have identity crisis every morning when I look in the mirror.When

did l get older?And where the hell is my hair?

Comment3:

To quote American Judge Judy,"Beauty fades,dumb is forever."

Comment4:

When you look in the mirror and don't recognize yourself,then you have an identity crisis. Really,these studies and articles of this sort are stating the obvious.

41.The main idea of the quoted blog is that.

A.some people undergo facial surgery for wrong reasons

B.the patients will eventually find facial surgeries unsatisfying

C.plastic surgery can cause a loss of self identity

D.people's facial features are important for their self identity

42.According to the blog,Heidi Montag.

A.was ugly before she received reconstructive surgeries

B.is suffering from a serious identity crisis now

C.has changed drastically after the reconstructive surgeries

D.was reluctant to show her greatly-changed beauty in public

43.Among all the comments,which seems in disagreement with the main idea of the blog?

44.By saying"Beauty fades,dumb is forever",Judge Judy means that.

A.it is unwise trying to have beauty by taking plastic surgeries

B.plastic surgery or no plastic surgery,everyone will get old

D.beauty cannot cover up foolishness

45.According to the writer of Comment4,the studies on the relationship of plastic surgery and

参考答案及解析

Paper One

Part I Dialogue Communication

Section A

Dialogue One

1．C在口语交际新题型中，首句很少命题。如果首句设置了空，也会提供非常明显的线索词来提供解决方案。通过Pat的回答“我最近一直不在状态”可知，Alice的问句是有关其状态的。故C选项是正确答案（Pat，你看上去精神不好）。注意：本段落有较多惯用语。under the weather“不在状态”，run-down“崩溃，疲倦”。

2．B Pat继续描述自己状态不好的原因，空格后说到“自己还没能好”。get over“克服”。

因此，本题B（我上周感冒很严重）是正确答案。

3．A Alice问到“你想不想请个病假”（sick leave是“病假”的意思），并解释Pat所需要的是“充足的休息”。因此A是正确答案。

Dialogue Two

4．C针对Nancy的提问中“how many”，回答中一定要有实际的数量。因此C选项（我们还得再打十个包）是正确的。这里要注意“数字+more”的用法，意思是“再做……”，是一个比较的概念，比如I need100more（我还需要100）。

5．B Nancy认为有些订单(order)并不紧急(urgent)，因此认为“可以明天再完成”，因此B选项是正确答案。注意本句中why not的意思，这表示赞同的态度。

6．A Gibert同意了Nancy的建议，停止工作，Nancy对此进行赞扬“英雄所见略同”。故本题A为正确答案。

Section B

7．B根据空格前的对话内容可知，郑海在求职，再结合空格后的内容“我想我的背景符合这份工作的要求”可知，郑海已经通过广告了解到王女士要招聘的职位要求，故本题选B。

8．D根据空格前郑海说的内容“我在武汉大学时学的专业是计算机科学”可知，郑海要阐述在计算机方面的优势，故本题选D。

9．C根据王女士提出的问题“你设计过有关网络方面的程序吗”以及郑海的回答“是的”

可知，郑海要列举在网络程序方面的经验，故本题选C。

10.A根据王女士说的内容“为员工提供健康和医疗保险，工资从5000元到8000元不

等”可知，郑海向王女士咨询公司的保险和工资情况，故本题选A。

Part lI Vocabulary

11.A

【解析】different“不同的，多样的”；distinctive“特殊的，有特色的”；similar“相似的，相像的”；separated“分离的，单独的”。四个词中只有different与diverse的意思相近。diverse的意思是“不同的，不一样的”。

【句意】不同背景的人们乘飞机到遥远的地方去寻找快乐、商机或接受教育。

12.B

【解析】conduct做动词时意为：引导，管理，传导，但在这个句子中做名词，意为：行为，操行，可与behavior互换。style：风格；mode:方式，模式；attitude：态度，意见。

故答案为B。

【句意】他无法理解其他人会通过他的社会技能和行为来判断他这个人。

13.C

【解析】illuminate照亮，使明亮；decorate装饰；illustrate给……加插图，说明；light up 照亮，亮起来；study carefully仔细研究。故答案为C。

【句意】夜幕时分，当北京电视台的发射塔亮起来的时候，真的相当漂亮。

14．A

【解析】motive“动机”；initiative“起初，主动”；excitement“兴奋，刺激”；

entertainment“娱乐，盛情款待”。注意到incentive前面是greater，是比较关系，再结合语境，我们可以推测出incentive的意思是“动机，鼓励”，“motive”与之最相近。

【句意】比赛过程所带来的乐趣要比奖金的激励大得多。

15.B

【解析】definite“确定的，明白的”；intentional“故意的，刻意的”；delicate“精致的，精美的”；interactive“相互影响的，有交互作用的”。conscious和deliberate共同修饰gestures，属并列关系。consclous意为“有意识的，故意的”，所以可以推测deliberate意为“有意识的，故意的”，故选择B。另外，也可以根据前后两个句子的对比关系来推断deliberate的意思。

【句意】有时，可以通过故意的、有意识的手势来传递信息；而另一些时候，我们的身体会无意识地传递信息。

16.C

【解析】complaint“抱怨，抗议”；consideration“考虑”；delay“耽搁，延迟”；anxiety “渴望，忧虑”。quickly修饰动词think，而且think和act是并列关系，由此判断应选与quickly以及without hesitation近义的词，所以选delay。

案为A。

Passage Two

24.D根据文章第一段中the biggest longevity（长寿）boost seems to come from marriage...直

接可以得知D项正确。故答案为D。

25.B由第二段中的两个例子：一是患有心脏疾病的已婚老人要比没有相关疾病的未婚老

人寿命约长4年；二是一个每天要抽一包多香烟的已婚老人和一个从不吸烟的离过婚的老人寿命几乎一样长。可以推断出B项“婚姻有助于人的身体健康。”故答案为B。

26.A flip side的字面意思是“反面，对立面”，第二段短语flip side前面讲了两个例子来

说明婚姻对老年人身体健康的积极意义，后面用however-转，又给了两个研究发现：

一、夫妻双方当其中一个去世了，另一个在随后的几年内很可能生病或是离世；二、一

人在照顾其患有精神错乱疾病的配偶时可能后来也患有相同的疾病。这两个发现显然都

是夫妻生活的负面影响，故答案为A。

27.A由all kinds of social networks have similar effects可推断选择A项。很显然这里的

similar effects指的是marriage's effects。故答案为A。

28.B最后一段主要讲的是“要想寿命长就要建立社交网络”。而Ch r i s t a k i s的这句

“People are interconnected，so their health is interconnected.”（人类是相互联系的群体，他们的健康也是如此）仔细品味它的弦外之音，假如你的朋友个个身体欠佳，那么你身体也不会好到哪里去。故答案为B。

Passage Three

29.A第一段第一句说到“救援人员已经找到了在孟加拉国的两次渡船失事中的130多人

的尸体”。当然，实际的死亡数字还要高。故答案为A。

30.C文章中没有一个句子直接提供了两次渡船失事发生的时间的信息。但是第三段间接

地传递了这方面的信息：政府自此后禁止所有的渡船和其他船只在四五月的暴风季节夜航。故答案为C。

31.D在第四段的第二句，警察说：把大约400个旅客装进了只能容纳300个旅客的空间。

故答案为D。

32.C第三段提到了政府自此禁止渡船和其他船只在四五月暴风雨季节夜航。A和B提到

了。倒数第三段说到了缺乏安全措施，故答案为C。

33.C第五段有一句话：没有人真正能知道当时有多少人在船上，也不知道多少人还活着。

第六段是说：孟加拉国的渡船不是总能留下顾客名单的，使得确定船上确切的人数很困难。故答案为C。

34.A文中第一段叙述渡船失事的事情，第二段主要说失事是由于暴风雨引起的，第三段

说原因是由于船上人员超载，第四段回归到失事问题，因此，全文的重点在说失事的原因。

Passage Four

35.C首段第一句中giant enterprises与small，well-oiled cog形成强对比，显示出人的微小。

接着作者又对oil in g进行了解释，即通过高工资、通风良好的工厂、不断播放的音乐等手段使人顺利工作，然后用ye t引导的句子指出这些“润滑油”无法改变的事实：ma n has become powerless。由此可见，人已经变成微不足道的小小齿轮，无能为力，故答案为C。

than one's fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress,the very causes of unhappiness sand illness.”说明造成不快乐的原因就是竞争，反过来说，只有远离竞争，才会体验生活的真正幸福。故答案为D。

的生活模式中，而是要建立人本主义的产业社会，充分发挥人的潜力。故答案为C。

39.B文章二、三段指出目前官僚经营的工业主义给下至普通工人，上至领导阶层都带来

了焦虑，最后一段作者又提出改造工业制度，使其更适合人性发展的建议。由此可见，

作者对工业主义是不满意的。故答案为B。

40.A在文章最后一段，作者提出了解决现存社会问题的建议。第二、三句对首句所问问

题的否定回答“Certainly not.”表明我们不能采取过去的生产方式来解决问题。故答案

女，而且她还不想向公众隐瞒。故选C。

43.B第二篇跟帖的作者说：没有整容手术之前自我特征意识危机就存在，你不做整容手

术也会有自我特征意识危机。我每天早晨照镜子的时候都感到自我特征意识危机。我什

Part V Text Completion

Text One

56.C what substances your tap water（自来水）____是一个从句，what是名词性从句的

引导词，从句必须有谓语动词，因此本题选consists of充当谓语动词，C是正确答案，意思是“你的自来水是由什么物质组成的”。

57.B while the water streams____pipeline是一个while引导的分句，streams做谓语动

词，含义是“流动”，pipeline“管道”，因此填入介词through（通过）最符合语义和语法的要求。

58.A通过排除法，此处like（介词，意思是“正如”）是正确答案。

59.C此处大意为：饮用水，一，包含着少量的细菌。根据句意和语法的要求，C

选项（正如其他所有物质一样）是正确答案。

60.B此处不需要名词性成分，因此A选项（名词性从句）不能选。句子的大意是：氯经

常被添加到水中，在水流经管道时，来抑制细菌的增加。因此，B为正确答案。

61.A fmd out为动词，从语法角度来讲，后面需要名词性成分来做宾语。故A选项符合语

法要求。这里的大意是：如果你想知道你的自来水是由什么物质组成的，是否安全，你可以找到一个特殊机构来检验。因此本题选A。

入B选项最合适，意思是每天看6个小时电视的人比不看电视的人平均少活4.8年。

67.A be associated with是个固定搭配，因此可初步判定选A。同时根据also表示递进和并

列，可知此处也在讲看电视与寿命的关系，A选项填人后意思是“25岁后每看一个小时与寿命缩短22分钟是有联系的。”

语。综上所述，只有considered能担此重任。故本题选B。

的词汇。故本题选C，意思在“不同文化的人之间产生了误会”。

70.D情态动词后面跟动词原形，且所填词语后接动名词。故本题选D。

71.A空格后面为动词原形，故选择tend to，意思是“往往，倾向于”。

72.D根据空格后句子“如果宴会的邀请只提前三四天送出”，空格处应该填人D选项（客人可能会感觉到他们没有受到尊重）。

73.A空格后的不定式为真正的主语，it为形式主语，故正确答案为A。

Security or Privacy

In recent years,security cameras are installed in public places for the purpose of preventing

and combating crimes.This phenomenon has sparked many debates.Most people welcome it and believe these cameras play a positive role in maintaining people's security,while still some others

think installing cameras threaten people's privacy rights.

Those supporters maintain that installing cameras in public places,especially some key sites,

can provide law enforcement agencies with criminal evidence.Moreover,they say that installation of cameras is a good deterrent to those with intentions of crimes.However,those protesting this practice claim that the government shouldn't sacrifice millions of citizens'privacy rights only for monitoring probably nonexistent crimes.

As to me,I prefer the former opinion.In my opinion,As far as public security situation is concerned,the installation of security cameras is quite necessary to maintaining citizens'security.

On the other hand,people needn't feel uncomfonable for being monitored by a camera in public places since everything we do outside can be seen by some other people.To conclude,the advantages of installing cameras in public places much outweigh its disadvantages.
