Easy Listening
Students should be jealous. Not only do babies get to doze their days away, but they’ve also mastered the fine art of learning in
their sleep.
B y the time babies are one year old, they can recognize a lot of sounds and even simple words. Marie Cheour at the University of Turku in Finland suspected that they might progress this fast because they learn language while they sleep as well as w h e n they are awake.
To test the theory, Cheour and their colleagues studied 45 newborn babies in the first days of their lives. They exposed all the infants to an hour of Finnish vowel sounds one that sounds like “oo”；another like “ee”and the third boundary vowel peculiar to Finnish and similar languages that sounds like something in between. E E G ( 脑电图）recording of the infants brains before and after the session showed that the newborns could not distinguish the sounds.
Fifteen of the babies then went back with their mothers, where the rest were split into two sleep-study groups.One group w as exposed throughout their night-time sleeping hours to the same three vowels, while the others listened to the other, easier-to-distinguish vowel sounds.
W h e n tested in the morning, and again in the evening, the babies w h o ’d heard the tricky boundary vowels all night showed brainwave activity indicating that they could n o w recognize this sound. They could identify the sound even w h e n its pitch was changed, while none of the other babies could pick up the boundary vowel at all.
Cheour doesn’t k n o w h o w babies accomplish this nighttime learning, but she suspects that the special ability might indicate that unlike adults, babies d o n ’t “turn off’their cerebral cortex ( 大脑皮层）while they sleep: The skill probably fades in the course of the first years of life, she adds so forget the idea that you can pick up the tricky French vowels as an adult just by slipping a language tape under your pillow. But while it m a y not help grown-ups,Cheour is hoping to use the sleeping hours to give remedial help to babies w h o are genetically at risk of language disorders.
16. Babies can learn language even in their sleep.
A. Right
B. W r o n g
C. Not mentioned
17. A n infant can recognize a lot of vowels by the time he or she is one year old.

20. The study shows that the infant’s cerebral cortex is working
while he is asleep.

Cloning: F uture Perfect?
1 A clone is an exact copy of a plant or animal produced from any one cell. Since Scottish scientists reported that they had m a n aged to clone a sheep n a m e d Dolly in 1997，research into cloning has grown rapidly. In M a y 1998，scientists in Massachusetts managed to create two identical calves using cloning technology. A mouse has also been cloned successfully. But the debate over cloning humans really started w h e n Chicago physicist Richard Seed made a surprising announcement: “W e will have managed to clon e a human being within the next two years,” he told the world.
2 Seed ’s announcement provoked a lot of media attention, most of it negative. In Europe, nineteen nations have already signed an agreement ban ning h u m a n cloning and in the U S the President announced: “W e will be introducing a law to ban h u m a n cloning and m a n y states in the U S will have passed anti-cloning laws by the end of the year”.
3 M a n y researchers are not so negative about cloning. They are worried that laws banning h u m a n cloning will threaten important research. In March, The N e w England Journal of Medicine called any plan to ban research on cloning humans seriously mistaken. M a n y researchers also believe that in spite of attempts to ban it, h u m a n cloning will have b ecome routine by 2010 because it is impossible to stop the progress of science.
4 Is there reason to fear that cloning will lead to a nightmare world? The public has been bombarded ( 轰炸）with newspaper articles, television shows and films, as well as cartoons. Such information is often misleading, and makes people wonder what on earth the scientists will be doing next.
5 Within the next five to ten years scientists will probably have found a w a y of cloning humans. It could be that pretty soon w e will be able to choose the person that w e want our child to look like. But h o w would it feel to be a clone a m o n g hundreds, the anti-cloners ask Pretty cool, answer the pro-cloners ( 赞成克隆的

A budget is a spending plan. It can help you spend m o n e y wisely. It can do this by cutting out wasteful spending. O f course, preparing a budget takes planning, and following a budget takes will power. Your budget should meet your family’s needs and income.
The first step in creating a budget is to set your goals. W h a t does your family need and wants. Y o u must k n o w this to work out the details of the budget. Keep goals realistic, in terms of income available. Then decide which goals are the most important.
The next step is estimating family income. Before you can plan wisely, you need to know how much money you have to spend! Write d o w n all the m o n e y you expect to receive (wages, savings, interest, etc.) during the planned budget period.
After you have calculated h o w m u c h m o n e y will be available, it is time to estimate expenses. L ist all of your family expenses.
If you are not satisfied with what you got for your money, look carefully at your spending. Studying your records will show where overspending has occurred. It will also point out poor buying habits.

第2篇The car
Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor w h e n he has a car.
Henry Ford was the m a n w h o first started making cars in large numbers. H e probably didn’t k n o w h o w m u c h the car was going to affect American culture. The car ma d e the United Stated a nation on wheels. A n d it helped m a k e the United States what it is today.
There are three main reasons w h y the car becomes so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to m o v e around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money.
The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. L ong-distance trains have never been as c o m m o n in the country as they are in other parts of the world. No wadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.
The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really m a d e cars popular. Americans d o n ’t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They d o n ’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their o w n time. A n d this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.
The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a n e w kind of car, one that does not use so m u c h gas.
36. Most Americans feel they are poor w h e n th e y_____ .
A. have no job
B. have no food
C. have no m o n e y

C. cars play a very important role in people，lives
D. there are more cars than trains in this country
39. With a car people can g o _____ easily.
A. anywhere
B. to anyplace
C. to anywhere
D. any place
40. The real solution to the gas shortage problem is______.
A. to m a k e less cars
B. to develop a public transportation system
C. to m a k e gas-saving cars
D. to develop train service
第3篇Diet

Dung to Death
Fields across Europe are contaminated with dangerous levels of the antibiotics given to farm animals. The drugs, which are in manure sprayed onto fields as fertilizers, could be getting into our food and water, helping to create a n e w generation of antibiotic-resistant “superbugs”.
The warning comes from a researcher in Switzerland w h o looked at levels of the drugs in farm slurry. 46 .
S o m e 20,000 tons of antibiotics are used in the European Union and the U S each year. Mor e than half are given to farm-animals to prevent disease and promote growth. 47 .
Most researchers assumed that humans b ecome infected with the resistant strains by eating contaminated
meat. But far more of the drugs end up in manure than in meat products, says Stephen Mueller of the Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology in Dubendorf. 48 .
With millions of tons of animals manure spread onto fields of crops such as wheat and barley each year, this pathway seems an equally likely route for spreading resistance, he said. The drugs contaminate the crops, which are then eaten. 49.
Mueller is particularly concerned about a group of antibiotics called sulphonamides. 50 . His analysis found that Swiss farm manure contains a high percentage of sulphonamides; each hectare of field could be contaminated with up to 1 kilogram of the drugs. This concentration is high enough to trigger the development of resistance a m o n g bacteria. But vets are not treating the issue seriously.
There is growing concern at the extent to which drugs, including antibiotics, are polluting the environment.M a n y drugs given to humans are also excreted unchanged and are not broken d o w n by conventional sewage treatment.
A. They do not easily degrade or dissolve in water.
B. A n d manure contains especially high levels of bugs that are resistant to antibiotics he says.
C. Animal antibiotics is still an area to which insufficient attention
has been paid.
D. But recent research has found a direct link between the increased use of these farmyard drugs and the
appearance of antibiotic-resistant bugs that infect people.
E. His findings are particularly shocking because Switzerland is one of the few countries to have banned
antibiotics as growth promoters in animal dead.
F. They could also be leaching into tap water pumped from rocks beneath fertilized fields.

第2 部分：阅读判断
16. A 选A 的依据是第2 段最后一句。
17. C 第2段有这样一个句子“...the time babies are one year old, they can recognize a lot of sounds and even simple words”，从“许多音”是推不出“许多元音”的，反向的推论才是成立的。
18. C 第 4 段最后一句是“while the others listened to the other, easier-to-distinguish vowel sounds”，其他的较容易区分的元音是指“0 0 ”和“ee”这两个音。这两个音容易区分并不等于所有的元音都容易区分。
19. B 注意第3 段有这样一个短语：something in between，介于前两个元音之间的音。因此，3 个元音均是这个边缘上的音，并不是芬兰语种的音。
20. A 选A的依据是最后一段中的“...unlike adults, babies d o n ’t ‘turn off’their cerebral cortex while they sleep ，，。
21. B 这个命题是错误的。文章最后一段有“The skill probably fades in the course of the first years of life, she adds so forget the idea that you can pick up the tricky French vowels as an adult just by slipping a language tape under your pillow. But while it m a y not help grown-ups”，这些话都是对本题的否定。

30. B 文章最后一段提到未来5 到1 0 年内人们可能会找到克隆人的办法，即会有克隆人出现，故选 B 。
第4 部分：阅读理解
第1 篇
31. D 第1 段第2 句“It can help you spend m o n e y wisely”（预算帮助你聪明地花钱）, 也就是说理智地消费(spend m o n e y in a reasonable way).
32. A “preparing a budget takes planning，and following a budget takes will power”意思是“准备一项预算需要计划，而执行（follow在这里是执行的意思）一项计划则需要will power ( 意志力），也就是ability to control yourself ( 控制自己的能力）”。
33. B 第 5 段讲了“Studying your records will show where overspending has occurred. It will also point out poor buying habits" ( 消费记录可以找出哪里超支了，或者可以发现一些不良购买习惯）。所以B 是正确答案。
34. C 从原文最后的“It is also a good idea to set aside a
small amount of m o n e y for emergencies. Every family has small emergencies”可以知道，每个家庭都会有一些意外情况发生，所以有必要准备一小笔资金作为备用金。
35. C 本文从预算的作用开始引人，到第2 段开始分步骤地介绍了进行预算的方式，主要讲的是进行预算的方法问题。
第2 篇
36. D 从文章第1 段第 2 句“Without a car most people feel that they are poor”可以找到答案。
37. D 依据第 2 段第1 句“Henry Ford was the m a n w h o first started making cars in large numbers”。m a k e ：制造，等于produce。38. C 原文“The car m a d e the United Stated a nation on wheels”说明，在美国汽车很受欢迎，汽车对
于美国人来说是非常重要的。
39. A 第 3 段末尾“With a car people call go anyplace without spending a lot of m o n e y ”’anyplace 连在一起写等于a n y w h e r e ,都是副词，可以直接与动词连用，但是不与介词t o连用，所以B 、 C 是错误选项。而分开写的anyplace是名词词组，需要与to连用。所以A 是正确答案。
40. C 文章最后一句“The real solution will have to be a n e w kind of car, one that does not use so much gas", 不使用很多汽油的车，当然就是gas-saving cars ( 节能汽车）了。
第3 篇
41. A 文章第1 段第1 句和第 2 句“Persons w h o are overweight should watch their diet carefully in order to lose pounds. The best w a y to do this is to start a weight control program”点明了本文的主要内容是“...the best w a y to d o ”，即方法问题。
42. B 从原文第 3 段中的“W h e n dieting, choose low-calorie foods”可以找到答案。
43. A 依据是原文第 2 段“W h e n you have lost the weight you wish, simple items can be added to your diet so that you can maintain the weight you want”（减到理想体重以后，就可以吃一些简单的食物）。
44. A 第 1 段末尾，作者建议“ A good rule is to lose slowly.
A loss of a pound or two is plenty ”，应该慢慢地减肥，选项A ( 医生会建议你迅速减肥）是错误的。
45. D 文章说，要减肥的话，就要开始减肥计划，并与医生讨论这个问题，计划好三餐饮食，并要加强锻炼。所以选项A 、 B 、C 都是正确的。
第5 部分：补全短文
46. E 本句中包含h e 这个代词，故上文中必定有它的先行词，his findings 又表明此人应该是从事科研工作的，句中又提到Switzerland ，考虑多种因素，填入E 是正确的。
47. D 前两句讲的是抗生素在欧洲和美国的大量使用，选项D 讲的是由此导致的不良后果，接上去是最合理不过的。B u t 明确地表明了这一转折。
48. B 选项B 中有两处提示：一是本句结尾处的he says，说明上文中必提到一个被引用的人；二是句首的A n d , 这个词表明，这句的内容可能是前一句的延续。前一句引的S. Mueller说的话讲到，在肥料中滞留的药物比肉类产品中多得多。这句话则继续引用Mueller 的话，进一步说肥料中对抗生素有抗药性的病菌含量特别高。
49. F 选项F 中的also—词说明前面应讲到过一个类似的内容。这句讲的是这些药物可能从施过肥料的农田下面的岩石沥滤到自来水里去；前面一句讲的是受到这些药物污染的谷物被人食用，这两句讲的都是这些药物如何对人类造成威胁。
50. A 选项A 中的主语T h e y 提示我们应该寻找一个复数的先行词，根据句子的意思：既不衰减又不溶于水，这个T h e y 指的不是人而是物，我们在上一句里找到sulphonamides。这个复数形式的名词，从意思上看也正合适。
第6 部分：完形填空
51.B 通过阅读我们可以看出，空白后是一种装置，用来改变当火灾发生时找不到出口的危险境况，所以要表达“用……装置”的意思，只能用介词w i t h :带着、带有。
52. A 我们知道Sound Alert是一家公司的名字，从语意上判断应该是由某人经营，因此选择A 较为合适。
53. C 这篇文章的核心内容就是有关盲人警报器的，而且后半句也提到a resource centre for the blind,所以顺理成章地得出结论答案应是C 。
54. D 我们知道该空的名词应出现在前文，上一句就提到“Sound Alert, is installing the alarms in a residential home...”，所以这里所要填的词也应该是the alarms。
55. B 句子前半句是说a wide range of frequencies,所以发出的应是s o u n d , 因此答案选B 。
56. D 文章一直在讨论警报器、声音，因此很容易推断应该是被人听到。
57. C 选项A 、B 、D 都不能构成语意上的连贯，而只有C 构成一个句型——强调句，这句话强调的是主语。去掉it’s... that,剩下的完整句子就是“A burst of white noise, people say ( 插入语），sounds like static on the radio”.
58. B 从上下文可以看出，是一个定语修饰r o o m , 表示“充满了烟火的房间”，选项A 、D 意思不吻合，C 作为定语，位置不应放在r o o m 前，应放后面。只有B 合适。
59. C 显然，这个空是考察常用句型“it takes / took sb. some time to do sth”。关键是确定动词时态，从前面看都是过去时态，所以选择C 。
60. C 逗号后面的one应该是指a sound alarm。从连词but可以推断，前后应该意思相反，后面已有了with ,那么前句应是without。所以选择C 。
61. A 句子主语是the brain ，应和“处理”构成主谓关系，其他动词均不合适。所以选择A 。
62. D 解题关键是要看出句子中的主要结构是more...than,后面出现核心词the source, 所以可以得出结论，前面的名词也应是source,这样符合比较级用法，用来进行比较的事物必须具有可比性，所以选D 。
63. D A l a r m s是主语，have already been installed 是谓语，所以要填的动词应该是分词形式做定语，所以4 个答案只有D 可能。be based o n : 以……为基础。
64. A 根据前半句的rising or falling frequencies,可以看出这句话也应该填连接词or , 表示或者。
65. A 主语they代指the alarms，后半句是说这种设备得到大笔资助。根据上下文，
资助是为了开发，所以应该选A 。

A.change B.fall C.descend D.elevate 正确答案:A Heartbeat of America 1.New York-the Statue of Liberty,the skyscrapers,the beautiful shops on Fifth Avenue and the many theaters on Broadway.This is America’s cultural capital. 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.
