One Way to Solve the Problem
To deal with the air pollution caused by vehicles in cities is a challenging job. My suggestion is to produce vehicles powered by solar energy.
Compared with mineral fuels such as gasoline, solar energy is inexhaustible in supply. The growth of cities and increase of vehicles call for more supply of energy, but there is a limit to the reserve of mineral fuels. So solar energy with its endless supply is one of our solutions to energy crisis. The second advantage of solar energy is its cleanliness. Traditional vehicles operating on gasoline give of exhaust, causing damage to human health and polluting the air. From the perspective of environmental protection, solar energy is a much better choice. After the new technology becomes economically feasible, the sky over cities will be brighter, and the air will no longer be a threat to our health.
Because of the two benefits of using solar energy as a new fuel, we should spend more money on the research which can make our dream come true.

文章指出，现在美国人很少能全家人坐在一起慢慢地共享晚餐，取而代之的是食用便于加工的半成品食物以及各式快餐。热衷于各类活动，习惯开车，原本是家庭主妇的女性外出工作，这些都是美国人就餐习惯改变的原因。
57.C综合推断题。文章首段指出，美国人精力充沛，总是四处奔忙，赶着赴一个又一个约会，赶着参加各种
活动。他们没有时间精心准备饭菜，也没时间悠闲地吃饭，许多家庭很少坐在一起吃晚饭。为了参加俱乐部和社团活动，他们常胡乱地吃口饭，由此推断，美国人有许多事要做，因此无法悠闲地吃精心准备的饭菜，故选C。
58.A综合推断题。文章第二段指出，美国成为快餐的消费大国;第三段指出，巨大的转变是在“二战”后发生的，当时许多女性开始做全职工作，在家与家人共处的时间减少了，她们想在做好家庭主妇的同时尽好职业女性的本分，因此要合理地利用时间，由此推断，自从大量女性开始做全职工作，原本的主妇不再有时间做饭，所以美国人经常食用快餐，故选A。
59.D综合推断题。文章第四段指出，在女性开始工作的同时，家庭娱乐的重心由收音机转向了电视，没人愿意错过自己喜爱的电视节目，因此吃晚餐的地点由饭厅转换到了起居室，由此推断，美国人开始在起居室吃饭是由于电视的吸引，故选D。
60.B信息明示题。文章最后一段第三句指出，随着高速公路的发展，美国出现了快餐连锁店，由此可知，快餐连锁店的繁荣发展是伴随着高速公路的发展而进行的，故选B。
61.B主旨题。文章首段指出，美国人现在四处奔忙，很少有时间悠闲地享用家里做的饭菜;第二段提到，他们在家通常吃方便食品;第三段指出，美国人饮食习惯的转变是由于“二战”后女性开始做全职工作;第四、五段指出，随着电视的流行，又出现了适合边看电视边吃的速冻快餐;最后一段指出，随着高速公路的发展，快餐连锁店开始繁荣起来。综合可知，文章的主题是美国人饮食习惯的转变，故选B。

本文介绍了可口可乐的创始人及其创始过程。可口可乐的创始人Pemberton是一个药剂师，Pemberton创造了被他称为Coca—coca的糖浆，而后Robinson则设计了标签，用很时尚的字体写上了“可口可乐”几个字
57.A信息明示题。关于John Styth Pemberton，文章第一段指出，创造了可口可乐的人不是亚特兰大当地人，但是在他葬礼的那天，镇上所有的药房都象征性地关门了，可见A 是正确的选项，他深受亚特兰大人民的尊敬。后面指出，Pemberton是一个药剂师，人们有时称他为医生，在内战期间，在Joe Wheelrer将军的统帅下，他带领了一支骑兵部队，由此可知，C只是一个片面的干扰项，题干并没有限定时间。
58.C综合推断题。第二段的后半部分描述了Robinson的特殊之处，他有一个非常特别的鼻子，只是吸吸鼻子就能分辨出一批糖浆的成分，因此选项c正确，他有非常灵敏的嗅觉。在描述嗅觉的前面，文章提到他had a good head for figures，figure既可以解释为图像，也有数字的意思，所以选项B(他有绘画图像的天赋)和选项D(善于处理数字)都可以解释为这句话的意思，但这并不是他的过人之处，因此不是正确选项。
59.B综合推断题。第三段提到，1886年，在那个年代的Coca-coca的领导们都喜欢提到这样一种说法，那就是柯南·道尔创作了福尔摩斯私人侦探，法国创建了自由女神像，Pemberton创造了被他称为Coca—coca的糖浆，因此B正确，他发明了一种赢利的产品。选项A说他的工作如同福尔摩斯侦探一样，显然是错误的。选项C说他看到了自由女神像的奠基仪式，也是错误的。选项D文中并没有涉及。
60.D综合推断题。文章第三段第二句提出，这是对他的可卡法国酒的一种改良，他分离出了酒的成分，加入了一小撮咖啡因。结果最后的成品味道口感不佳，于是又加了可乐果汁和一些其他的油脂成分，将混合液倒入放在后院的铁锅中，用浆搅匀。然后他将这种糖浆分放在用过的啤酒瓶里，分发到各饮料店，Robinson则设计了标签，用很时尚的字体写上了“可口可乐”几个字，直到今天这个字体仍在使用，故选D。文中没有特别说明增加咖啡因的量，因此B是错误的。
61.D主旨题。题目要求选出最后一段的主旨大意。文章的最后一段讲了一个故事，说的是一位顾客去一家药店看病，药剂师因为偷懒，不想多走几步去打新鲜的水，而是用就在手边的苏打水来调糖浆。这位顾客喝了这种药后很快就振作起来了，于是便传开了，最好的可口可乐是泡沫腾涌的那种，所以选项D是正确的，最后一段讲述了关于可口可乐诞生的一个非常有趣的小故事。选项C说的是药剂师的服务态度一般，显然与全文主题无关，因此不是正确选项。

63.C信息明示题。文章第二段第二句中提到：但是，随着大众报吸引来自社会各界和金融机构的读者，它的轰动效应需要改进，故选C。文章中提到：大众化的写作风格和表达方式仍然保留，故排除B。
64.D综合推断题。文章第二段末句提到，一旦大众报的首次出版为成功指出了一条路，之后的投资者就会进入更高层次上的新闻报道和达到开拓新闻责任的竞争中，可见ventures指的是“投资者，经营者”，放选D。
65.D信息明示题。文章最后一段提到：在这四年中，James Gordon Bennett创办了New York Herald(1835)，三名纽约印刷工仿效Day’s成功创办了Philadelphia Public Ledger(1836)和the Baltimore Sun(1837)，这几份大众报都成为了著名的报纸，故选D。

88.more complicated animals developed from the simple animals
本题的考点是“高等动物”和“低等动物”的译法，即complicated animals和simple animals。值得注意的是，某些中文表达在英语中很难找到相对应的单词，此时往往可以用词组将中文的含义表达出来。
89.I’d like to order One fried egg and bacon外出吃饭时，点菜所用的动词可用order或have，此处为了避免与下旬动词重复，用order更好。而在表示主观意愿的“想要”时，常用I’d like to来表示。
90.because of the sweet taste and a variety of flavors
本题的考点是“多种口味”的译法，可用a variety of,强调种类繁多。a lot of虽然也表示“很多的”，但指的只是数量上的多，意思不够贴切。
91.Scientists will come up with
本题的考点是“提出”的译法。此处“提出”的宾语是methods，故采用短语come up with 表达此意。

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17. Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be
