Fermi Problem
On a Monday morning in July, the world ’ s first atom b o m b exploded in the New Mexico desert. Forty seconds later, the shook waves reached the base camp where the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fezmi and his
team stood. After a mental calculation, Fermi announced to his team that the b o m b ’s energy had equated 10,000tons of T N T . The bomb team was impressed, but not surprised. Fermi’s genius was known throughout the scientific world. In 1938 he had won a Nobel Prize. Four years later he produced the first nuclear chain reaction,leading us into the nuclear age. Since Fermi’s death in 1954, no physicist has been at once a master experimentalist and a leading theoretician.
Like all virtuosos ( 大师），Fermi had a distinctive style. H e preferred the most direct route to an answer. He was very good at dividing difficult problems into small, manageable bits—talent we all can use in our daily lives.
To develop this talent in his students, Fermi would suggest a type of question n o w k n o w n as a Fermi problem. Upon first hearing one of these, you haven’t the remotest notion of the answer, and you feel certain that too little information had been given to solve it. Yet w h e n the problem is broken into sub-problems, each answerable without the help of experts or books, you can c o m e close to the exact solution.
Suppose you want to determine Earth’s circumference without looking it up. Everyone kn o w s that New Yo r k andLos Angeles are about 3,000 miles apart and that the time difference between them is three hours. Three hours is one-eighth of a day, and a day is the time it takes the planet to complete one rotation, so its circumference must be eight times 3000 or 24000 miles. This answer differs from the true value, 24,902.45miles, by less than four percent.
Ultimately the value of dealing with everyday problems the w a y Fermi did lies in the rewards of making independent discoveries and inventions. It doesn’t matter whether the disc overy is as important as determining the power of an atom or as small as measuring the distance between N e w Y o r k andLos Angeles. Looking up the answer, or letting someone else find it deprives you of the pleasure and pride that accompany creativity, and deprives you of an experience that builds up self-confidence. Thus, approaching personal dilemmas as Fermi problems can beco me a habit that enriches your life.
16. Fermi’s team was impressed b y Fermi’s announcement in the base camp because he could even w o r k out the power of the atom bomb in his mind.
A. Right
B. W r o n g
C. Not mentioned
17. Fermi, an experimentalist as well as a theoretician, won a Nobel Prize for producing the first nuclear chain reaction in the world.
A. Right
B. W r o n g
C. N o t mentioned
18. Dividing a big problem into small problems is a talent Fermi had and a talent that has practical value in life.
A. Right
B. W r o n g
C. N o t mentioned
19. Fermi problem is to develop the talent of breaking a seemingly unanswerable
problem into sub-problems and finding the solution to it, which is a typical Fermi problem.
A. Right
B. W r o n g
C. N ot mentioned
20. Th e n the fourth paragraph tells us h o w Fermi solved the problem of earth’s circumference without lookin g up.
A. Right
B. W r o n g

Ford
1 Ford’s great strength w as the manufacturing process not invention. Lo ng before he started a car company, he was a worker, k n o w n for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines.
H e started putting cars together in 1891, although it was by no means the first popular automobile, the Model T showed the world just h o w creative Ford was at combining technology and market.
2 The company’s assembly line alone threw America’s Industrial Revolution into overdrive ( 高速运转）.Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford’s friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland,organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it m o v e d d o w n a line. B y the time Ford’s Highland Park plant w a s h u m m i n g ( 嘴嗡作响）along in 1914, the world’s first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 9
3 minutes.
3 The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the $ 5 a day m i n i m u m W age scheme, the greatest contribution he had ever made. The average Wage in the auto industry then was$ 2.3
4 for a 9-hour shift. Ford not only doubled that he also took an hour off the workday. In those years it w a s unthinkable that a m a n could be paid that m u c h for doing something that didn’t involve an awful lot of training or education. The Wall Street Journal called the plan “an economic crime” and critics everywhere laughed at Ford.
4 But as the wage increased later to daily $10，it proved a critical component of Ford’s dream to m a k e theautomobile accessible to all. The critics were too stupid to understand that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the high er wages didn ’t matter, except for making it possible

第4 部分：阅读理解（第31-45 题，每题3 分，共4 5 分）
下面有3 篇短文，每篇短文后有5 道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1 个最佳选项。第一篇Pronouncing a Language
Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his ow n language; but few people are even fairly proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. N o w there are m a n y reasons for this, s o me obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the basic reason why people in general donot speak foreign languages very m u c h better than they do native language is that they fail to understand the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce. Far too m a n y people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill—one that needs carefiil training of a special kind, and one that cannot be gained by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while realizing the importance of a good accent, often neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to m a k e is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote s ome of the lesson time to this, and get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions w h e n other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the m o m e n t totake second place.
Besides this question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge; the second, technique.
It is also possible to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages,between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture,any c o mments he m a y m a k e on his students，pronunciation are unlikely to be of m u c h use, and lesson time spent on pronunciation m a y well be time wasted.
31. W h a t does the author say about pronouncing foreign language?
A. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing foreign languages.
B. It is difficult for people to pronounce foreign languages.
C. N o one is really an expert in the skill of pronouncing foreign languages.
D. There are not m a n y people w h o are even fairly good at it.
32. W h a t is the cause of going about the problem of pronunciation in the wrong w a y ?
A. A n obvious cause of not understanding the problem correctly
B. A result of not speaking well
C. A result of not understanding the problem correctly
D. N o t an obvious cause of speaking poorly
33. According to the writer, what are teachers likely to ignore?
A. The practical techniques of teaching
B. The importance of a good accent
C. T h e teaching of spelling and grammar
D. The teaching of pronunciation
34. W h a t are the three important requirements for teachers in teaching?
A. Attention, information, technique.
B. Time, knowledge, attention.
C. Time, knowledge, technique.
D. Information, technique, a clear mental picture.
35. W h a t does a student w h o masters correct speech habits depend on?
A. The teacher’s proper teaching technique
B. The learning of grammar
C. The knowledge of spelling
D. The teacher’s teaching method for pronunciation
第二篇Working Successfully within Cultural Boundaries
Soon after starting our job in China, w e realized that the greatest challenge w e faced would not be our day-to-day responsibilities but a completely foreign work environment and culture.
We were used to the very direct, sometimes confrontational, but more equal style of management in the United States. Here, we were faced with the never-direct, never-confrontational style of management common in
Asia.
W e often hear similar stories. O n e w o m a n shared her experience of returning to China after more than 15years in the US. Although she spent most of her childhood in China, she felt that her colleagues’ thinking proce sses were completely foreign to her. She needed to adapt herself to the culture of her c o m p a n y only then would she be successful at her job. In the end, she w a s n ’t able to successfully re-adapt herself to the culture. W h a t she didn’t realize was that, rather than disagreeing with her ideas, they disagreed with her method of implementing them. For example, instead of recognizing her c o m p a n y ’s strict chain-of-command, she had in one case taken her plan straight to the co m p a n y chairman. This action consequently caused her superiors to lose face. She had unwittingly broken a cardinal rule of Chinese culture.
O n e m a n w h o spent m a n y years overseas before returning to China to head up the local operations of a multinational company, had a similar experience. In his first management team meeting, he presented his plans for a n e w direction in China operations. His request w a s met with an uncomfortable silence, with none of the managers daring to speak up. They had not been prepared for his open style of management. Soon he quickly determined that his first on-the-job challenge would be to build up managers’ confidence in him, and that he had to do this individually, not in a group. Within a year, their management team meetings were transformed into the interactive, brainstorming sessions that he intended them to be.
Therefore, it w a s n ’t until after w e had learned to appreciate the culture of our workplace and earned the confidence and trust of our inferiors that w e were able to m o v e forward and successfully do our job. We must first understand and accept a culture for what it is; only then will w e be able to successfully w o r k within it.
36. W h a t are the differences in style of management in the U S A and China according to the author?
A. In the U S A , it is indirect style of management. In China, it is direct.
B. In the U S A , it is direct style of management. In China, it is never-direct.
C. In the U S A , it is always confrontational. In China, it is sometimes confrontational.
D. In the U S A , it is equal. In China it is unequal.
37. W h e r e did the w o m a n think she differed from her Chinese colleagues?
A. In the thinking process.
B. In treating the same thing.
C. In implementing.
D. In understanding the rule.
38. What is the cardinal rule of Chinese culture mentioned in this passage?
A. The obedience to the superior.
B. The strict chain-of-command.
C. Confidence in the manager.
D. Individual discussion before making it open.
39. How did the Chinese managers firstly respond to the man ’s management style?
A. Th e y all applauded.
B. T hey all disagreed.
C. T h e y all kept silent.
D. Th e y all showed great interest.
40. If one wants to work successfully in a different culture, what is the first thing he / she should do?
A.Learn to appreciate the culture of his / her workplace.
B. Earn the confidence and trust of his / her superiors.
C. Get along well with the colleagues.
D. W o r k harder than others.
第三篇A Carrot a Day Keeps Cancer Away
Among all the malignancies, lung cancer is the biggest killer: more than 100,000 Americans a year die of the disease. Giving up smoking is one of obvious w a y to reduce the risk, but another answer m a y lie in the kitchen. According to a n e w report, even heavy smokers m a y be protected from developing lung cancer by a simple dietary measure: a daily portion of carrots, spinach or any other vegetable or fruit containing a form of vitamin A called carotene.
The finding, published in the British medical journal T heL ancet, is part of a long-range investigation of diet and disease. Since 1957 a team of American researchers has monitored the dietary habits and medical histories of 2,000 middle-aged m e n employed by the Western Electric Co. in Chicago. Led by Dr. Richard Shelelle of Chicago’s Rush-Presbyterian, St. Lu k e ’s Medical Center, the researchers recently began to sort out the links b etween the subjects’dietary patterns and cancer. Other studies of animals and h u m a n s have suggested that vitamin A offers s o m e protection against lung cancer. The correlation seemed logical, since vitamin A is essential for the growth of the epithelial (上皮的）tissue that lines the airways of the lungs.
Vegetables: But the earlier research did not distinguish between two different forms of the vitamin.
“Preformed”vita min A, known as retinol, is found mainly in liver and dairy products like milk, cheese, butter and eggs. But vitamin A is also made in the body from carotene, which is abundant in a variety of vegetables and fruits,including carrots, spinach, squash, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and apples.
In the Western Electric study, Shekelle and his colleagues found little correlation between the incidence of lung cancer and the consumption of foods containing preformed vitamin A, but w h e n they examined the data on carotene intake, they discovered a significant relationship. A m o n g the 488 m e n w h o had the lowest level of carotene consumption, there were fourteen cases of lung cancer; in a group of the same size that ate the most carotene, only two cases developed. The apparent protective effect of carotene held up even for longtime smokers but to a lesser degree.
Further studies will be necessary before the link between lung cancer and carotene can be firmly established.In the meantime, researchers warn against taking large numbers of vitamin A pills, because the tablets contain a form of the chemical that can be extremely toxic in high doses. Instead, they advise a well-balance diet that includes foods rich in carotene. For a smoker, a half-cup of carrots every day might possibly m a k e the difference between life and death.
41.W h a t does “malignancy” in the text refer to?
A. Cancer.
B. Sickness.
C. Vitamins.
D. Disease.
42. W h y did Dr. Shelelle think the correlation between vitamin A and lung cancer protection w a s logical?
A. Vitamin A causes lung cancer.
B. Vitamin A cures lung cancer.
C. Vitamin A is necessary for the growth of the tissue lining the lungs.
D. Vitamin A is a molecule that prevents smoke from being inhaled.
43. A m o n g the groups studied, w h o had the most cases of lung cancer?
A. Those with the lowest level of carotene intake.
B. Those with the highest level o carotene intake.
C. Those w h o ate only foods containing carotene.
D. Those with the lowest intake of carrots.
44. W h e r e is carotene present?
A. tomatoes
B. carrots
C.squash
D. all of the above
45. W h y do researchers warn against taking large numbers of vitamin
A pills?
A. The pills are hard to swallow.
B. The pills contain a chemical that can be toxic in high
doses.
C. The pills are expensive.
D. The pills cause lung cancer.

Robotic Highway Cones
A University of Nebraska professor has developed robotic cones and barrels. 46 They can even be programmed to m o v e on their o w n at any particular part of the day, said Shane Farritor, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Nebraska.
For example, if workers arrived at 6 am, the cones could m o v e from the side of the highway to block off the lane at that time.
47 “ It just seems like a very good application for robots,” Farritor said. “The robotic cones would also help remove people from hazardous jobs on the highway putting barrels and cones into place，”Farritor said in a report on his creation.
48 The fund allowed Farritor to work on the project with graduate students at Nebraska and his assistant Steve Goddard.
The robots are placed at the bottom of the cones and barrels and are small enough not to greatly change the appearance of the construction aides. “It would look exactly the same，’’Farritor said. “Normally there ’s a kind of rubbery, black base to them. 49 Farritor has talked with officials from the Nebraska Department of Roads about how the robots would be most useful to what they might need.
The robots could come in handy following a slow-moving maintenance operation, like painting a stripe on a road or moving asphalt, where n o w the barrels have to be picked up and m o v e d as the operation proceeds. “That way you d o n ’t have to block off a 10-mile strip for the operation.” Farritor said.
While prototypes have been made, they are not in use anywhere. Farritor said he has applied for a patent and is considering what to do next. 50 He is also thinking about marketing the robots to roads departments and others across the country which m a y benefit from them.
A. A n d they can return to the original place at the end of the day.
B. H e is thinking about starting a small business.
C. Farritor w a s “Inventor of the Year” in 2003.
D. Word on the idea began in 2002 using a National A c a d e m y of Sciences grant.
E. We replace that with a robot.
F. These robotic cones and barrels can m o v e out of the way, or
into place, from computer c o m m a n d s m a d e miles away.

36. B 根据第2 段，文中说“我们习惯了美国的直接、有时针锋相对，但是更为平等的管理模式，但是在这里，我们面临的是在亚洲普遍存在的不直接、不正面交锋的管理模式”，因此答案是B 。
37. A 根据第3 段，“尽管她的童年是在中国度过的，但是她觉得她同事的思维方式完全陌生”，因此答案是A 。
38. B 根据第3 段最后三句，“比方说，有一次她没有理会公司的严格管理等级制度，而是直接把计划报给公司主席，这一举动使得她的上司很没面子。她不经意间触犯了中国文化的最重要规则”，因此答案是B 。
39. C 根据第4 段第3 句，“他的提议遇到了令人尴尬的沉默，没有一个经理敢发言”，因此答案是C。
40. A 根据第5 段，“因此，只有当我们学会欣赏工作地的文化，获得下属的信任与信赖，我们才能成功开展工作。我们首先必须理解并接受这种文化，只有到那时才能成功工作”，因此答案是A 。
第三篇
41. A 这是一个很生僻的词，很少有考生认识，但是根据第 1 句话，“在众多的malignancy中，肺癌是最大的杀手”，这说明它是“癌症”。因此答案是A 。
42. C 根据第2 段最后一句，“这种关系符合逻辑，因为维生素A 对于排列在肺部呼吸通道的上皮组织结构的生长是必不可少的”。
43. A 根据第4 段，“在摄入胡萝卜素最少的4 8 8 人中，有1 4 例肺癌患者。而人数同样多的另一组摄人胡萝卜素最多的人群中只有2 例”，因此答案是A 。
44. D 根据第3 段，“维生素A 在体内的产生源于胡萝卜素，胡萝卜素在蔬菜、水果中大量存在，包括胡萝卜、菠菜、西葫芦、西红柿和苹果”。因此答案是D 。
45. B 根据最后一段，“因为该药片包含一种化学成分，大剂量服用时有剧毒”，因此答案为B 。
第5 部分：补全短文
46. F 第1 段要恢复的句子的内容应该与robotic cones and barrels 有关。F 句中的“These robotic cones and barrels”正好说明F 句是第1 句的后续句，these这个代词把第1、2 句连接起来。第1、2 句内容上是连贯的，证实第2 句是第1 句的后续句。
47. A 本段第1 句有两处与A 句在内容上相连。第1 句的at 6 a m 与A 句的at the end of the d a y相对应；第 2 段第1 句的m o v e from the side of the highway 与 A 句的return to the original place 相连，所以A 句是第1 句的后续句。
48. D 本段的第2 句有The fUnd，firnd 之前用的是定冠词t h e ,说明前面已有句子提到过firnd 或其他类似资助的词。D 句说的是grant ，所以D 句是答案。
49. E 这一段说机器人安装在锥形路标和路障的底部，其原来外貌几乎没有什么改变。原来的底部是黑色，用类似橡胶的材料制成。而E 句的that 指的是底部（base)，E 句的意思是“用机器人置换底部”。
50. B 本段的第4 句“H e is also thinking about…”中的also是一个重要的线索，说明前面一定出现过“he is thinking”。但是在前面两句中没有找到，那么本段中要恢复的句子一定是B 句。
第6 部分：完形填空
51. B w h e n jazz was b o m 是定语从句，修饰at the turn of the last century , 所以这里需要填入的是一个引导定语从句的关联副词，只有w h e n 具有这一功能。
52. A 当时美国还没有明显属于自己的音乐，其他三个选项的词义都十分具体，美国不
可能没有。
53. C 爵士是音乐，所以noticed和fo u n d都不合适，listen 是不及物动词，如果要用，也应该有个t o , 而这里是“听到”，强调结果，不是“听”的意思，所以应该用heard。
54. C 爵士乐不属于古典音乐，也不属于严肃音乐或圣乐，只可能是流行音乐。
55. B 古典音乐发端于欧洲，所以它遵循的是欧洲传统。
56. C 从跟后面这几个词（m o o d s，interests, e m o t i o n s )的搭配考虑，只能选expressing 。
57. A 爵士是音乐，是有声音的，所以只能选sounded。在2 0 世纪2 0 年代，爵士乐听上去就像当时的美国。
58. D 下面要讲的是有关爵士乐的起源，所以只能找origins ，其他选项的词义都不对。
59. C 黑人是作为奴隶被带到南方各州来的。
60. B 他们自发形成一支队伍，只能说form a procession,其他三个词的搭配都不对。
61. C 根据前一句，很容易就可以判断应该选procession 。
62. C 这句和前一句形成对比，所以应该选But。
63. B 与“死”相对的是“还活着”，英语就是alive 。
64. C 可以想象，在回家路上他们演奏的音乐一定是比较轻快的，所以选h a p p y, 另外三个选项都和h a p p y的意义相俘。
65. C 能和tunes搭配的只有s u n g和played两个，但是上文中提到，在新奥尔良葬礼上总有一个乐队在演奏，所以这里应该选played而不是sung。

It is also her biggest city,with a population of nearly8million.In the summer it is hot,hot,hot and in the winter it can be very cold.Still there are hundreds of things to do and see all the year round. 2.Manhattan is the real center of the city.When people say“New York City,”they usually mean Manhattan.Most of the interesting shops,buildings and museums are here.In addition,Manhattan is the scene of New York’s busy night life.In 1605the first Europeans came to Manhattan from Holland.They bought the island from the Native Americans for a few glass necklaces worth about$26today. 3.Wall street in Manhattan is the financial heart of the USA.It is also the most important banking center in the world.It is a street of“skyscrapers.”These are those incredible,high buildings,which Americans invented,and built faster and higher than anyone else.Perhaps the two most spectacular skyscrapers in New York are the two towers of the New York World Trade Center.When the sun sets,their 110floors shine like pure gold.
