题型有： 5. READING COMPREHENSION
PART V READING COMPREHENSION (25 MIN)Directions: In this
section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each
with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is
the best answer.
Every person plans to run off to some tropical isle, but few do. Real life,
family, work, and monetary limitations get in the way. Ian Fleming let none of these
considerations stop him. After the war, Fleming set down his schedule. The first
week of January saw him leave England and travel to Jamaica. The first week of
March saw his return. He accepted his job at Kemsley Newspapers without
compromise—this portion of the year would be set aside for Jamaica or he would look
elsewhere for employment. For 6 years Fleming traveled each winter to Jamaica,
lounging in paradise, romancing women, chasing the sunset, but it was not until he
faced the pressure of a married woman who was pregnant with his child did Fleming
start the writer’s journey which would change his life and popular culture forever. As
Fleming waited in Jamaica for Anne’s divorce to become final, he wrote the first draft
of a novel, Casino Royale. Fleming’s career as a writer deserves more
examination than can be offered here, but suffice it to say, over the next 12 years, Ian
Fleming transformed his elite existence, his arrogance, his style, and his acid wit into
some of the greatest thrillers ever written. Fleming incurred the respect of authors as
diverse as Raymond Chandler, Kingsley Amis, and Edith Sitwell. His fans included
John, Jackie, and Bobby Kennedy, and his social circle included Prime Minister
Anthony Eden, Evelyn Waugh, and Somerset Maugham. Fleming filled out the 12
years of Bond with great adventure journalism. Even in stories which had little action
or pay off, such as his short non-fiction book, The Diamond Smugglers, the
“Fleming-flair” ensured exciting reading. He wrote the “Atticus” column for The
Sunday Times, proving a wonderful conduit for inside intelligence information, and
clever rebukes. Regardless of book sales or family obligations, Fleming managed
to live the life he wanted. As the years passed, his passion for golfing increased so he
took more time with it. Fleming’s long-term fascination with America grew, so he
traveled there more often. Ian Fleming’s full life caught up with him through his
heart. It may be that years of drinking and smoking took their toll, or that the
butter-rich cooking Fleming loved was the culprit. Or maybe it was just genetics.
Whatever the cause, Fleming’s health declined in the late 1950s. This plus anxieties in
the marriage increased Fleming’s depression. With the success of Bond, the world
came knocking at Fleming’s door, and he had a harder time shutting those out that he
did not want in his life. Nonetheless, Fleming fought the loosing battle of his
weakening heart by throwing more fuel on the fire. He continued to drink and smoke,
making some excuses but not many. He wrote books he wanted to read, and traveled
the world with style and authority. By this time, Fleming had already earned his own
fortune, created his own identity, and ruled his own literary empire.
1． According to the second paragraph, Fleming accepted the job offered by
Kemsley Newspapers
A．and had to give up his yearly holiday plan to Jamaica.
B．because he was offered to work in Jamaica every winter.
C．so that he wouldn’t have to look for employment elsewhere.
D．on condition that he took two months off to Jamaica every year.
正确答案：D
解析：第2段最后一句破折号后的内容是Fleming接受Kemsley Newspapers的工作的条件，破折号后的内容就是这个条件，D中的on condition that也表示基于某种条件去做一件事，D是对破折号后的内容的近义改写，因此为本题答案。

2． When he began writing, Fleming never expected that
A．he would change popular culture.
B．he could get over the pressure.
C．Anne would have a divorce.
D．Anne would keep his child.
正确答案：A
解析：定位到第3段第1句。本题实际上要求选择在Fleming开始写作后发生的事，而且这件事必须是他开始写作前没有考虑到的。第3段第1句末尾的定语从句中的时态would表明定于从句的内容是发生在Fleming开始写作之后，而且他从没想过自己的写作生涯会造成那么大的影响，由此可见，本题应选A。 知识模块：阅读
3． Fleming’s thrillers reflected his
A．sense for popular culture.
B．relationship with Anne.
C．own personalities.
D．life at Jamaica.
正确答案：C
解析：根据题干中的thrillers定位到第4段第1句。该句中的elite existence，arrogance，style，acid wit等都是与个性特点有关的内容，表明Fleming在他的小说中融进了自己独特的个性特点，因此本题应选C。B和D都是Fleming的经历，但与elite existence，arrogance，style，acid wit等“个性”特点关系不够紧密，因此不能选。 知识模块：阅读

People traveling long distances frequently have to decide whether they
would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Hardly can anyone positively enjoy sitting in a
train for more than a few hours. Train compartments soon get cramped and stuffy.
Reading is only a partial solution, for the monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking
on the rails soon lulls you to sleep. During the day, sleep comes in snatches. At night,

Climbing to the top of my nearest hill in San Francisco, my purpose is not
to enjoy the view but to experience a bit of fresh air and nature. Some birds dwell in
these urban islands of trees, bushes and soil. So few people are there, but they are
happy, relaxed and friendly(unless insane and out to rob). I find the view of San
Francisco Bay and the metropolis most disturbing, seeing in all directions the
industrial activity and oil-fueled trade of questionable imported products. Massive

The new US health-insurance rules are designed to help those caught in
Medicare’s “doughnut hole”, offer seniors more preventative(预防性的)care, and
limit how much of their customers’ money health-insurance companies can keep for
overhead and profit. The new rules include: A provision that limits what
health insurers can do with the money their customers send in as premiums(保险金).
The rule requires that insurers spend at least 80 percent of this money on the
customers themselves. The companies must either spend this money to pay insurance
claims or use it for activities that improve customers’ health. For policies that are
sold to large groups instead of small companies and individuals, the number is even
