一、Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension(总题数:0,分数:0.00) 二、Imagine you are a left-hander.(总题数:5,分数:10.00)
1.Which of the following is NOT true?

A.If both parents are left-handed, about 50% of their children will be so. B.The greater part of left-handers have right-handed parents. C.One in ten of Americans are left-handed. D.Most of us will favor the right. √
解析:本题为是非判断题。在第三段中提到“According to one study almost half of the children of two left-handed parents will be left-handed.”(据研究,由于父母都是左撇子,有近一半的孩子会是左撇子。)因此,A 是正确的。在第四段中提到“On the other hand, heredity alone cannot explain lefties. At least 84 percent of them are born of two right-handed parents.”(另一方面,遗传并不能完全解释左撇子现象。在左撇子当中, 84% 以上的人的父母都是右撇子。)因此,B 是正确的。在第二段中提到“They are one in ten of us who are left-handed…”(在我们当中,有十分之一是左撇子……)因此,C 是正确的。而 D 与第五段中提到的“In fact, almost equal numbers of individuals will favour either the right or the left.”(事实上,喜欢用右手和喜欢用左手的人数几乎相当。)不一致。 2.Among the left handers, ______.
(分数:2.00) A.few are men
B.most of them are women C.half of them are men D.two thirds are men √
解析:本题为细节辨认题。在第三段中提到“We know that nearly two out of three lefties are men…”(我们清楚,近三分之二的左撇子是男性……) 3.How many of the Americans are left-handers?
(分数:2.00) A.10%. √ B.12%. C.50%. D.84%.
解析:本题为细节辨认题。在第二段中提到“They are one in ten of us who are left-handed…”(在我们当中,有十分之一是左撇子……)
4.In Paragraph 3, the word \"runs\" (Line 2) means \" ______\".
(分数:2.00) A.goes fast B.spreads quickly
C.leaves D.develops √
解析:本题为词义辨别题。根据上下文,可以判断这句话的意思是:“左撇子现象也进入到家庭中。”A 与 B 都有“快”的意思;C 指“离开”,与句意不符合;而 D 表示“发展”。 5.Why so few people are left-handed ______.
(分数:2.00)
A.has nothing to do with heredity B.is not known by scientists √
C.has little to do with the working of their brains D.is that left-handers are mainly twins
解析:本题为细节推断题。在第五段中提到“Perhaps the greatest puzzle of all is not why some people are left-handed, but rather why so few are.”(也许最让人迷惑不解的并不是为什么有些人是左撇子,而是为什么他们的人数这么少。),“puzzle (迷)”即“not known”。
三、As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks.(总题数:5,分数:10.00)

A.We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks. B.We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks. C.We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks. D.We do not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks. √
解析:本题为综合推理题。文章最后一句是“…intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered.”(……人们继续进行深入的研究,以进一步弄清楚为什么会引发心力衰竭以及心力衰竭是如何发生的。)也就是说,由于还没有完全了解心脏病的发病原因,人们才继续进行深入的研究。 7.The phrase \"susceptible to\" in Par
(分数:2.00)
A.2 could best be replaced by\" ______\".A. aware ofB. affected byC. accustomedD. prone to 解析:本题为词义辨别题。根据上下文,可以判断这句话的意思是:“另外,在睡醒之后的最初几个小时,心脏病更容易发作。” A 指“意识到……”;B 指“受……影响”;C 指“习惯于……”,与句意都不符合。而 D 表示“易于……”。
8.Which of the following is NOT cited as a possible risk factor?
(分数:2.00)
A.High in cholesterol. B.Conjugal affection. √ C.Eating fatty foods. D.Being under stress.

方的爱是引发心脏病的一个危险因素,其意思正好与文章的意思相反。而根据常识,其他三项胆固醇高、吃油腻的食物、有压力,都有可能引起心脏病的发作。 9.What does the passage mainly discuss?
(分数:2.00)
A.Risk factors in heart attacks. √
B.Seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks. C.Cardiology in the 1980s.

(分数:2.00)
A.Decreased blood flow to the heart. B.Increased blood pressure. C.Lower heart rate. √ D.Increase in hormones.

M. and l0;00 A. M.”(清早,血压上升,心跳加快,心脏荷尔蒙的聚集,还有流向心脏的血液量减少,这些都会在上午八点到十点之间使心脏病发病机会增加。) A、B、D均是心脏病的发病原因,而 C 与“a rise in heart rate”意思相反。

B.young people who do not want to move often, but are steady and dependable C.people who have spent a long time concerned with community affairs D.young people who have good education and are willing to move around √
解析:本题为细节推断题。在第三段中提到“Company presidents in the United States today tend to be young men who begin their careers with educational backgrounds in engineering science, or business management…On the way to the top, they have an average of e]even promotions and seven city transfers”,表明这些年轻人是接受了良好的教育的,他们不仅频繁更换工作,而且经常穿梭于城市之间。在第五段中又提到“…today, high positions go to men who are mobile, and have good educational backgrounds.”(……现今,那些流动的、受过良好教育的人能得到高职位。) 14.In the third paragraph, the word \"background\" means \" ______\".
(分数:2.00) A.stage B.condition C.experience √ D.setting
解析:本题为词义辨别题。“background”并不是一个生词。“educational backgrounds”表示“受教育的情况”。A 表示“阶段”;B 表示“条件”;C 表示“经验,经历”;而 D 表示“环境”,只有“experience”符合句意。

A.women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at B.women are better able to put up with discomfort C.men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers D.men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion √
解析:本题为细节推断题。在第四段中提到“Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers.”(男士很明智,他们不会上时尚设计师的当。)“clever”表明男士在处理服饰问题上是理智的。

解析:本题为是非判断题。在第二段中提到“Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn.”(为了更换那些她们几乎不怎么穿的衣服,许多妇女每年要花大笔的钱。)很明显,时尚的变化让很多爱美的女士不惜花重金购买漂亮的衣服。另外,B、c、D 三个选项均未在文章中提到。

解析:本题为词义辨析题。accordingly 意为“相应地;因此”;eventually 意为“最终”; subsequently 意为“后来;随后”;而 in accordance 通常后面接介词 with,表示“与……一致”。本句大意为:天气突变,因此我们得多穿点衣服。
60.It is economically essential to make sure that this entire shipment of new ears ______ to the port on time.
(分数:1.00) A.would get B.get C.got D.gets √
解析:本题为语法结构题,考动词时态。make sure 后面接 that 从句,从句中动词用现在时,来表示将来要发生的事情。本句大意为:要确保整船新麦穗按时抵达港口,从经济角度来说,这一点非常重要。

61.
(分数:1.00) A.turned B.turning C.turn √ D.turns
解析:help 后面用动词不定式,省略 to,即 help do sth。 62.
(分数:1.00) A.By √ B.In C.On D.Till
解析:根据上下文,可以判断这里要表示的是“到 1920 年为止”,而不是“在 1920 年”。 63.
(分数:1.00) A.on B.at C.for √ D.by
解析:advertisement 后面用介词 for,表示“为……做广告”。 64.
(分数:1.00) A.any B.all C.no
D.every √
解析:文章中 aspect 用的是单数形式,表示“控制电影制作过程各个方面”,不能用复数形式的 all。而 any 通常用于否定结构和疑问句当中,在这里不符合句意。 65.
(分数:1.00) A.late B.later √ C.then D.after
解析:根据上下文,可以判断这里要表示的是“八十年之后”,因此,应该选择 later。after 不对,因为 after 应该放在 eighty years 之前。 66.
(分数:1.00) A.Since B.From √ C.Between D.In
解析:from 和 to 连在一起,作为固定搭配,表示“从……到……”。而 between 是和 and 搭配的。 67.
(分数:1.00) A.what √ B.that C.as D.when
解析:在 when 引导的定语从句中,又有一个宾语从句。因为,在主句谓语动词 delivers 的后面缺少一个宾语,因此,应该选择 what。that 不对,因为 that 只能用在定语从句当中。 68.
(分数:1.00) A.possible B.possibly √ C.as D.being
解析:名词短语作插入语,前面用副词修饰。 69.
(分数:1.00) A.tradition B.idea C.habit √ D.rule
解析:tradition 表示“传统”;idea 表示“思想;想法”;habit 表示“习惯”;rule 表示“规定;规则”。放电影,不可能是一种传统,因为,电影在当时是新生事物,并不是以前流传下来的;也不仅仅是一种想法,因为,看电影当时已经成为一个事实;也不会是一种必须严格执行的明文规定;只能是一个国家的习惯做法。 70.
(分数:1.00) A.work B.promise √ C.time D.reward
解析:根据上下文,可以判断这句话的意思是:“为查理·卓别林的一部电影所作的广告向观众许诺会带给他们快乐……”,因此,应该选择 promise。另外,从语法角度来看, work 和 time 都是不可数名词,前面都不可以用定冠词 a 来修饰;而 reward 表示“奖赏;奖金”,在这里不符合句意。 71.
(分数:1.00) A.he B.himself C.him √ D.his
解析:think 是及物动词,表示“认为”,后面接双宾语。而根据上下文,这里的宾语指的是卓别林。因此,应该选择 him,而不能用 himself。 72.
(分数:1.00) A.a B.the √ C.that D.being
解析:表示最高级“最伟大的演员”,应该用定冠词 the。 73.
(分数:1.00) A.when √ B.as C.while D.that
解析:这里是非限制性定语从句,因此,只有 when 符合题意。 74.
(分数:1.00) A.bearing √ B.writing
C.reading D.conveying
解析:帽子上写有某些文字,用动词 bear,表示“具有;带有;显示出”,后面接所显示的内容;而 write 表示“写;写下”,主语是人,不是物;read 在表示“读到;获悉”,主语一般是人,不是物,有时也表示“指示;显示”,但是仅用于度量仪器;convey 表示“传达;表达”,通常表达的是感情、意见、思想等。 75.
(分数:1.00) A.third √ B.three C.the third D.the three
解析:third 用作定语修饰名词,通常前面要加定冠词 the。但是,如果 third 前面有代词,就必须省略定冠词 the。 76.
(分数:1.00) A.spreading √ B.attracting C.working D.holding
解析:根据上下文,可以判断这里要表示的是“遍布”,spreading 在这里符合句意。 77.
(分数:1.00) A.for B.in √ C.by D.with
解析:穿着什么样的衣服用介词 in,不用 for、by 或 with。 78.
(分数:1.00) A.and B.or

(分数:1.00) A.founding √
B.found C.finds D.founds
解析:这里用现在分词表示主动,作补语,补充说明卓别林是通过何种方式来控制电影制作过程的各个方面的。 80.
(分数:1.00) A.included √ B.including C.consisted D.consisting
解析:这里缺少的是谓语动词,而 consisted 后面要加上介词 of,才能接宾语。因此,只有 included 符合要求。

Environmental Pollution
Social environment is polluted by many pollutants. It has been clearly found that the gases emitted from all kinds of factories or plants and the exhaust pipes of automobiles heavily pollute the air. Detergents and waste chemicals pollute rivers and other water supplies. Pesticides such DDT leave poisonous residues in the tissues of organisms. Garbages cast out by people are left to accumulate in insanitary heaps that attract flies and give off bad smells.
These pollutants endanger public health. Once they have entered the environment, they are difficult to be got rid of. As people have to breathe, eat and drink them, they directly or indirectly affect bodily functions and cause all kinds of infectious diseases.
Since we know where the pollutants come from and their harmfulness to our health and economic development, we must take some effective measures to clear off the sources of pollution and establish a chapter of regulations to keep our environment free from pollution.) 解析:
