READING COMPREHENSIONPART 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.The idea to remodel your bathroom can come as an idea to augment your house value or simply to make it into the haven you have always wanted. Whichever reason is yours, to make everything you do to implement your bathroom-remodeling ideas fully realizable, you should look to these inexpensive and easy-to-install ideas. When you remodel a bathroom, you can change aspects from lighting to fixtures. In the bathroom you want to have adequate lighting. Some ideas would be changing harsh lighting with staged lighting, or even lights at the vanity and near the bathtub. Changing lighting won’t break your budget, as a lot of fixtures can be inexpensive. You can also save money by doing it yourself. Yet, know when to hire outside help, such as a local remodeling contractor. You can check yellow pages, and online to find one near you. All you need to do is Google “local city remodeling”and see what comes up. When remodeling a bathroom you should always listen to the advice of your contractor on what type would be best suited for your project. You are paying a remodeling contractor to do the work, he/she should have the best knowledge of what will look the best with the decor and usage of such things as shower heads, faucets, lighting and other fixtures. Chances are he/she may also be able to get better quality and pricing on all fixtures especially if he/she is well established. Not to mention the contractor will also know what types will really increase the value of your home. Buy more tiles than you believe you will need in order to line the floor, if not the walls. It will be far more costly and time-consuming to locate tiles that even come close to a replica of yours if you search for them years after buying the initial batch. For the duration of your homeownership, you’ll probably require spare tiles if single ones are damaged. Also, excess tiles may be transformed into accent items for your bathroom, such as decorations by the light switches, bathroom tissue dispensers, mirrors, and even towel racks. Once a-gain, the local remodeling contractors are experienced and will attend to these pre-planning items for you. To gain more space in the bathroom replace your big vanity with a small pedestal sink. You can add more shelves in other parts of the room. A pedestal sink will take up less space and make your bathroom look bigger than before. Avoid filling up expanded space with items you will not use. Do you really need that many different shampoos? You should only need a small amount of space for these products like the top of the toilet or built in shelves. With the knowledge of various remodeling bathroom ideas from luxury developer Pendleton Homes out of Mclean Virginia you canre-exam your own ideas and learn how to create your own remodel bathroom ideas. Pendleton Homes has great advice to help you with remodel bathroom ideas, these ideas also include pictures in which you may want to mix up a couple to make it look as if you were the one who had the great remodel bathroom idea. Just learning a little might even make your new bathroom the envy of many and your sanctuary of pleasure. As you consider remodel bathroom ideas, make sure that the lighting is appropriate. If you’re thinking about upgrading your bathroom, something as simple as installing new steel fixtures, such as showerheads and faucets, can breathe new life into your old restroom. Start by finding a reliable agent, who will be able to assist you in completing the project.1.The author suggests that harsh lighting in the bathroom should be changed intoA.lights that are used for performance.B.lights whose brightness is adjustable.C.lights that give off soft light.D.lights that are less expensive.正确答案:B解析:本题考查对staged一词的理解的。
第一节:四六级仔细阅读基础最大考点:同义替换The final potential cause is an increase in snacking and eating out over recentdecades-both in terms of how often they happen and how much they contribute to our overall energy intake.Again,there is evidence that food consumed out of the home is one of the most poorly recorded categories in surveys.What often goes unnoticed in surveys on food consumption?A)The growing trend of eating out.C)People's home energy consumption.B)The potential causes of snacking.D)People's changing diet over the years.Recent open debates on scientific research,health,and policy have aroused greater public attention and encouraged more diverse voices.If this trend spurs scientists to agree more quickly about the best solutions to our problems-and at the same time helps the public observe the process of scientific discourse more clearly-then this is good for everyone, including scientists.A recent debate published in The New York Times discussed the question of how quickly medicine should be developed and produced.Issues such as safety of the product and perception of the public were examined and considered.But some experts worried that such public speculation might lead people to believe that disagreement about the details meant a lack of adequate scientific consensus over the safety and efficiency of modern-day medicine.52.Why did a recent debate published in The New York Times arouse concerns among experts?A)It might hinder the progress in medical research.B)It might breed public distrust in modern medicine.C)It might add to the difficulty of getting research funds.D)It might prevent medical scientists reaching consensus.At the minimum,most of us work because we want to be able to support ourselves,our families,and the people around us.In the ideal world,we're all doing work that we're proud of and that provides meaning and purpose to us.But even if your job doesn't give you shivers of joy each new day,working is a part of what each of us does and the contribution we make to society.When you separate work and life,it's a little bit harder to make that connection.But when you think of work as part of a full life and a complete experience,it becomes easier to see that success in one aspect often supports another. What does the author say we do in an ideal world?A)We do work that betters the lives of our families and friends.B)We do work that gives us bursts of joy each new day.C)We do meaningful work that contributes to society.D)We do demanding work that brings our capacity into full play.第二节:四六级仔细阅读基础(强化基础训练)Forests in countries like Brazil and the Congo get a lot of attention from environmentalists,and itis easy to see why.South America and sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing deforestation on anenormous scale:every year almost5million hectares are lost.But forests are also changing in richWestern countries.They are growing larger,both in the sense that they occupy more land and that thetrees in them are bigger.What is going on?51.What is catching environmentalists'attention nowadays?A)Rich countries are stripping poor ones of their resources.B)Forests are fast shrinking in many developing countries.C)Forests are eating away the fertile farmland worldwide.D)Rich countries are doing little to address deforestation.The second is government policy and subsidy.Throughout history,governments have protected and promoted forests for diverse reasons,ranging from the need for wooden warships to a desire to promote suburban house-building.Nowadays forests are increasingly welcome because they suck in carbon pollution from the air. The justifications change;he desire for more trees remains constant.54.What accounts for our increasing desire for forests?A)Their unique scenic beauty.B)Their use as fruit plantations.C)Their capability of improving air quality.D)Their stable supply of building materials.The report concludes that creativity should not inhabit the schoolcurriculum only as it relates to drama,music,art and other obviously creative subjects,butthat creative thinking ought to run through all of school lifeinfusing the way humanities and natural sciences are learned.47.What is the conclusion of a recently-published report?A)Natural sciences should be learned the way humanities courses are.B)Cultivation of creativity should permeate the entire school curriculum.C)Art courses should be made compulsory for all students.D)Students should learn more obviouslyWhen children are regarded as vessels to be filled with facts,creativitydoes not prosper;nor does it when teachers'sole objective is coaching childrentowards exams.48.What does the report say is detrimental to the fostering of creativity?A)Alleviation of pressure.B)Teacher-led school activities.C)Test-oriented teaching.D)Independent learning.2023-6Passage OneSupermarkets have long been suffering as one of the thinnest-margined businesses in existence and one of the least-looked-forward-to places to work or visit.For more than a decade,they have been under attack from e-commerce giants,blamed for making Americans fat,and accused of contributing to climate change.Supermarkets can technically be defined as giants housing15,000to60,000different products.The revolutionary idea of a self-service grocery,where people could hunt and gather food from aisles rather than asking a clerk to fetch items from behind a counter,first came about in America.There is some debate about which was the very first,but over the years a consensus has built around King Kullen Supermarket,founded in New York in1930.For some300years,Americans had fed themselves from small stores and public markets.Shopping for food involved mud,noisy chickens,clouds of flies,nasty smells,bargaining,and getting short-changed.The supermarket imitated the Fordist factory,with its emphasis on efficiency and standardization,and reimagined it as a place to buy food.Supermarkets may not feel cutting-edge now,but they were a revolution in distribution at the time. They were such strange marvels that,on her first official state visit to the United States in1957,Queen Elizabeth II insisted on an impromptu(即兴的)tour of a suburban-Maryland Giant Food.The typical supermarket layout has barely changed over the past90years.Most stores open with flowers,fruit and vegetables at the front as a breath of freshness to arouse our appetite.Meanwhile,they keep the milk,eggs, and other daily basics all the way back so you'll travel through as much of the store as possible,and be tempted along the way.In the early days,as the supermarket multiplied,so did our suspicion of it.We have long feared that this “revolution in distribution”uses corporate black magic on our appetite.The book The Hidden Persuaders, published in1957,warned that supermarkets were putting women in a“hypnoidal trance(催眠恍惚状态),”causing them to wander aisles bumping into boxes and“picking things off shelves at random."46.What problem have supermarkets been facing?A)They are actually on the way to bankruptcy.B)They have been losing customers and profits.C)They are forced to use e-commerce strategies.D)They have difficulty adapting to climate change.47.What does the passage say about the idea of a self-service grocery?A)It was put forward by King Kullen.B)It originated in the United States.C)It has been under constant debate.D)It proves revolutionary even today.48.What did supermarkets do by adopting the Fordist factory approach?A)They modernized traditional groceries in many ways.B)They introduced cutting-edge layout of their stores.C)They improved the quality of the food they sold.D)They revolutionized the distribution of goods.49.What is the typical supermarket layout intended to do?A)Arouse customers'appetite to buy flowers,fruit and vegetables.B)Provide customers easy access to items they want to buy.C)Induce customers to make more unplanned purchases.D)Enable customers to have a more enjoyable shopping experience.50.What have people long feared about supermarkets?A)They use tricky strategies to promote their business.B)They are going to replace the local groceries entirely.C)They apply corporate black magic to the goods on display.D)Th ey take advantage of the weaknesses of women shoppers.2023-3Passage TwoOf the endless troubles that come with being driven from one's home country,losing educational certificates may seem small.But it isn't.Refugees who settle in other countries often find themselves unable to continue on their previous career path due to a new set of employer standards or skills requirements.To solve this problem,the U.S.State Department is posing a solution:online learning.The State Department will announce a partnership with an online education platform called Coursera.The platform will allow refugees worldwide to take thousands of online courses for free.“Coursera for Refugees”will be available for any non-profit group that supports refugees in any country,as well as individual refugees.They can apply for fully funded access to Coursera's course catalog,which means they can take all of the platform's classes and obtain professional certificates for free.The platform currently offers professor-led lectures on a broad range of topics,from data science to fashion design.As the world migrant crisis intensifies,employment is becoming a global concern.The new program aims to aid refugees by offering“important skills that will help them in the global economy,”Evan Ryan,U.S.assistant secretary of state for educational and cultural affairs,said on a press call last week.“What we don't want to do is not act,"added Coursera chief operations officer Lila Ibrahim.The idea isn't without problems.For one,starting a new career path isn't as simple as watching a few videos and obtaining an online certificate;even those looking to continue previous careers can't simply rely on an online lecture to get them up-to-date on standards,policies,and practices.For another,most of the classes on Coursera are in English,and though there are plans to add translations,language barriers can be a big obstacle.Then there are the questions over the value of massive open online courses(MOOCs)themselves-both for refugees and for average learners.But it's still early days and there are signs of hope.In2015,a joint study found72%of people taking the MOOCs saw career benefits afterwards.51.Why is the U.S.State Department launching an online learning program for refugees?A)To enable them to settle down in host countries.B)To allow them to learn as many job skills as possible.C)To offer them a platform to pursue advanced degrees.D)To help them to meet new employment standards.52.What do we know about“Coursera for Refugees"?A)It provides refugees with a wide range of courses free of charge.B)It offers free online data services for refugees around the world.C)It allows refugees to obtain degrees in various academic fields.D)It supplies refugees with a great variety of job opportunities.53.What does the passage say is a consequence of the global migrant crisis?A)Instability increases in host countries.B)The global economic crisis intensifies.C)A lot more refugees die during migration.D)Refugees find it more difficult to get a job.54.What does the author say causes refugees'difficulty in taking online courses?A)Cultural environment.B)Changed academic requirements.C)Lack of language skills.D)Difference in teaching platforms.55.What did the joint study find about the MOOCs several years ago?A)They helped solve learners'financial problems.B)They benefited most of the learners.C)They changed some learners'career path.D)They provided the most needed vocational skills.2022-6Passage TwoIn the coming era of budget cuts to education,distance learning could become the norm.The temptation for those in charge of education budgets to trade teachers for technology could be so strong that they ignore the disadvantages of distance learning.School facilities are expensive to build and maintain,and teachers are expensive to employ.Online classes do not require buildings and each class can host hundreds of people simultaneously,resulting in greater savings,thus increasing the temptation of distance education for those concerned more about budgets than learning.But moving away from a traditional classroom in which a living,breathing human being teaches and interacts with students daily would be a disaster.Physically attending school has hidden benefits:getting up every morning,interacting with peers,and building relationships with teachers are essential skills to cultivate in young people.Moreover,schools should be more than simple institutions of traditional learning.They are now places that provide meals.They are places where students receive counseling and other support.Those policy-makers are often fascinated by the latest technology in education and its potential to“transform”education overnight.But online education does not allow a teacher to keep a struggling student after class and offer cational videos may deliver academic content,but they are unable to make eye contact or assess a student's level of engagement.Distance education will never match the personal teaching in a traditional classroom. In their first18years of life,American children spend only9%of their time in school.Yet teachers are expected to prepare them to be responsible citizens,cultivate their social skills,encourage successful time management,and enhance their capacity to flourish in an increasingly harsh labor market.Given these expectations,schools should not become permanently“remote”.The power of the classroom is rooted in the humanity of the people gathered in the same place,at the same time.Personal teaching is about teachers showing students a higher path,and about young people going through the process together.Technology,no matter how advanced,should simply be a tool of a good teacher.51.What mainly accounts for the possibility that distance learning could become the norm?A)Advances in education technology.C)Shortage of school facilities.B)Shrinking financial resources.D)Lack of qualified teachers.52.What does the author say is one possible benefit of students attending school physically?A)Developing the habit of getting up early.B)Eating nutritionally well-balanced meals.C)Growing into living and breathing human beings.D)Cultivating relationships with peers and teachers.53.What does the author think of the latest technology in education?A)It may have potential disadvantages.B)It may render many teachers jobless.C)It may add to students'financial burden.D)It may revolutionize classroom teaching.54.What does the author say teachers are expected to do?A)Enhance students'leadership capacity.B)Elevate students to managerial positions.C)Enable students to adapt to the changes in life.D)Prepare students to be competitive in the future.55.Why couldn't technology replace a good teacher?A)It lacks humanity.B)It is still immature.C)It cannot track students'growth.D)It cannot cater to personal needs.2022-6Passage OneSocial media can be a powerful communication tool for employees,helping them to collaborate,share ideas and solve problems.Research has shown that82%of employees think social media can improve work relationships and60%believe it can support decision-making processes.These beliefs contribute to a majority of workers connecting with colleagues on social media,even during work hours.Employers typically worry that social media is a productivity killer;more than half of.U.S.employers reportedly block access to social media at work.In my research with277employees of a healthcare organization I found these concerns to be misguided.Social media doesn't reduce productivity nearly as much as it kills employee retention.In the first part of the study I surveyed the employees about why and how they used platforms like Facebook, Twitter,or Linked In.Respondents were then asked about their work behaviors,including whether they felt motivated in their jobs and showed initiative at work.I found employees who engage in online social interactions with co-workers through social media blogs tend to be more motivated and come up with innovative ideas.But when employees interact with individuals outside the organization,they are less motivated and show less initiative.In the second part of the study I found76%of employees using social media for work took an interest in other organizations they found on social media.When I examined how respondents expressed openness to new careers and employers,I found that they engaged in some key activities including researching new organizations and making new work connections.These findings present a dilemma for managers:employees using social media at work are more engaged and more productive,but they are also more likely to leave your company.Managers should implement solutions that neutralize the retention risk caused by social media.They can create social media groups in which employees will be more likely to collaborate and less likely to share withdrawal intentions or discussions about external job opportunities.Managers can also use social media to directly reduce turnover(跳槽)intentions,by recognizing employees'accomplishments and giving visibility to employees'success stories.46.What does previous research about social media reveal?A)Most employees think positively of it.B)It improves employees'work efficiency.C)It enables employees to form connections.D)Employees spend much of their work time on it.47.What did the author's own research find about social media?A)It influences employees'work negatively.B)It does much harm to employee loyalty.C)It kilIs employees'motivation for work.D)It affects employers'decision-making.48.What did the author find in his study about the effect of online social interactions?A)It differs from employee to employee.B)It tends to vary with the platform used.C)It has much to do with whom employees interact with.D)It is hard to measure when employees interact with outsiders.49.What problem was found with employees using social media for work?A)They seldom expressed their inner thoughts.B)Most of them explored new job opportunities.C)They were reluctant to collaborate with others.D)Many of them ended with lower productivity.50.What does the author suggest managers do to neutralize the retention risk?A)Give promotions to employees for their accomplishments.B)Create opportunities for employees to share success stories.C)Acknowledge employees'achievements through social media.D)Encourage employees to increase their visibility on social media.2022-12Passage TwoResearch shows that in developed countries,more affluent and educated people tend to consume higher-quality diets-including more fruits and vegetables,fish and whole grains.On the contrary,economically disadvantaged people report diets that are nutrient-poor and energy-dense.They are less likely to have food-purchasing habits that conform to public health recommendations.These dietary differences are often accompanied by higher rates of obesity and diabetes among lower-income people.This relationship between social class and diet quality and health is extensively documented.However,the research does not explain why this is the case-a question that has significant implications for designing effective policies and initiatives to improve diets and prevent chronic diseases.Public-health initiatives to promote healthy diets often focus on providing nutrition education and recipes(食谱).These approaches,however,often presume less food literacy(i.e.food knowledge and skills)among low-income people.Are unhealthy diets really the result of poor choices,limited food skills and knowledge?Research suggests that adults in food-insecure households are just as likely as those in food-secure households to adjust recipes to make them more healthy.They are also just as proficient in food preparation and cooking skills.There is no indication that increasing food skills or budgeting skills will reduce food insecurity.Instead,disadvantaged groups are constrained by their economic,material and social circumstances.For example,low income is the strongest predictor of food insecurity in Canada,where one in eight households experiences insufficient access to nutritious foods.It's well-established that food prices are an important determinant of food choice.Low-income households report that they find it difficult to adopt dietary guidelines because food prices are a barrier to improving their diets.When researchers estimate the cost of diets people actually eat,higher-quality diets are typically more costly.While this may be so,it does not,in itself,prove that healthy diets are necessarily more expensive or cost-prohibitive.After all,not all socioeconomically disadvantaged people consume poor diets.We can easily think of a number of foods and recipes that are both inexpensive and nutritious.The internet is full of recipes for"eating well on a budget.”51.What can we learn from research on diets in developed countries?A)Dietary recommendations are not fit for underprivileged people.B)People from different social groups vary in their dietary habits.C)People's choice of food depends on their individual taste.D)There is no consensus on what high-quality diets are.52.What does the author say is important in formulating policies to improve diets and health?A)A better understanding of the relationship between social class and health.B)A greater emphasis on studying the cause of obesity and chronic diseases.C)Prioritizing the provision of better nutrition for lower classes.D)Designing education programs and initiatives on public health.53.What does research reveal about adults in food-insecure households?A)Their eating habits need to be changed.B)Their food literacy has been improving.C)They do not pay much attention to their food recipes.D)They do not lack food knowledge or budgeting skills.54.What would help improve food security among the disadvantaged groups in Canada?A)Teaching them budgeting skills.B)Increasing their food choices.C)Enabling them to have more access to nutritious foods.D)Taking more effective measures to increase food supplies.55.What does the author suggest disadvantaged people do to improve their health?A)Adopt a positive attitude towards dietary guidelines.B)Choose diets that are both healthy and affordable.C)Make sure to purchase healthy foods on the internet.D)Change their eating habits and consumption patterns.。

For each multiple choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONE(1)When I was twenty-seven years old, I was a mining-broker's clerk in San Francisco, and an expert in all the details of stock traffic. I was alone in the world, and had nothing to depend upon but my wits and a clean reputation; but these were setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune, and I was content with the prospect. My time was my own after the afternoon board, Saturdays, and I was accustomed to putting it in on a little sail-boat on the bay. One day I ventured too far, and was carried out to sea. Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small ship which was bound for London. It was a long and stormy voyage, and they made me work my passage without pay, as a common sailor. When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket. This money fed and sheltered me twenty-four hours. During the next twenty-four I went without food and shelter.(2)About ten o'clock on the following morning, dirty and hungry, I was dragging myself along Portland Place, when a child that was passing, towed by a nurse-maid, tossed a big pear -minus one bite - into the gutter. I stopped, of course, and fastened my desiring eye on that muddy treasure. My mouth watered for it, my stomach craved it, my whole being, begged for it. But every time I made a move to get it some passing eye detected mypurpose, and of course I straightened up then, and looked indifferent and pretended that I hadn't been thinking about the pear at all. This same thing kept happening and happening, and I couldn't get the pear.(3)I was just getting desperate enough to brave all the shame, and to seize it, when a window behind me was raised, and a gentleman spoke out of it, saying: "Step in here, please."(4)I was admitted by a man servant, and shown into a sumptuous room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting. They sent away the servant, and made me sit down. They had just finished their breakfast, and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me. I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food, but asI was not asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as best as I could.(5)Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now. Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything. (6)You will remember that the Bank of England once issued two notes of a million pounds each, to be used for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country. For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled; the other still lay in the vaults of the Bank. Well, the brothers, chatting along, happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend, and with no money but that million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it. Brother A said he would starve to death; Brother B said he wouldn't. Brother A said he couldn'toffer it at a bank or anywhere else, because he would be arrested on the spot. So they went on disputing till Brother B said he would bet twenty thousand pounds that the man would live thirty days, anyway, on that million, and keep out of jail, too. Brother A took him up. Brother B went down to the Bank and bought that note. Then he dictated a letter, which one of his clerks wrote out in a beautiful round hand, and then the two brothers sat at the window a whole day watching for the right man to give it to.(7)I finally became the pick of them.41. In Para. 1, the phrase "set my feet" probably means___________.A. put me asideB. start my journeyC. prepare meD. let me walk42. It can be concluded from Para. 2 that___________.A. the man wanted to maintain dignity though starvedB. the man could not get a proper chance to eat the pearC. the man did not really want the pear since it was dirtyD. it was very difficult for the man to get the pear43. Compared with Brother A, Brother B was more ___________ towards the effect of the one-million-pound bank-note on a total stranger.A. neutralB. negativeC. reservedD. positivePASSAGE TWO(1)The concept of peace is a very important one in cultures all over the world. Think about how we greet people. In some languages, the phrases for greetings contain the word for peace. In some cultures we greet people by shaking hands or with another gesture to show that we are not carrying weapons—that we come in peace. And there are certain symbols which people in very different cultures recognize as representing peace. Let's look at a few of them.The dove(2)The dove has been a symbol of peace and innocence for thousands of years in many different cultures. In ancient Greek mythology it was a symbol of love and the renewal of life. In ancient Japan a dove carrying a sword symbolized the end of war.(3)There was a tradition in Europe that if a dove flew around a house where someone was dying then their soul would be at peace. And there are legends which say that the devil can turn himself into any bird except for a dove. In Christian art, the dove was used to symbolize the Holy Ghost and was often painted above Christ's head.(4)But it was Pablo Picasso who made the dove a modern symbol of peace when he used it on a poster for the World Peace Congress in 1949.The rainbow(5)The rainbow is another ancient and universal symbol, often representing the connection between human beings and their gods. In Greek mythology it was associated with Iris, the goddess who brought messages from the gods on Mount Olympus. In Scandinavian mythology the rainbow was a bridge between the gods and the earth. In the Bible arainbow showed Noah that the Biblical flood was finally over, and that God had forgiven his people. In the Chinese tradition, the rainbow is a common symbol for marriage because the colours represent the union of yin and yang. Nowadays the rainbow is used by many popular movements for peace and the environment, representing the possibility of a better world in the future and promising sunshine after the rain.Mistletoe(6)This plant was sacred in many cultures, generally representing peace and love. Most people know of the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe at Christmas time, which probably comes from Scandinavian mythology. The goddess Freya's son was killed by an arrow made of mistletoe, so, in honour of him, she declared that it would always be a symbol of peace. It was often hung in doorways as a sign of friendship.(7)The ancient Druids believed that hanging mistletoe in your doorway protected you from evil spirits. Tribes would stop fighting for a period of time if they found a tree with mistletoe. But you will never see mistletoe in a Christian church - it is banned because of its associations with pagan religion and superstition.The olive branch(8)The olive tree has always been a valuable source of food and oil. In Greek mythology, the goddess Athena gave the olive tree to the people of Athens, who showed their gratitude by naming the city after her. But no one knows for sure when or why it began to symbolize peace. There is probably a connection with ancient Greece. Wars between states were suspended during the Olympic Games, and the winners were given crowns of olive branches. The symbolism may come from the fact that the olive tree takes a long time to produce fruit, so olives could only be cultivated successfully in long periods of peace.Whatever the history, the olive branch is a part of many modern flags symbolizing peace and unity. One well-known example is the United Nations symbol.The ankh(9)The ankh is an ancient symbol which was adopted by the hippie movement in the 1960s to represent peace and love. It was found in many Asian cultures, but is generally associated with ancient Egypt. It represented life and immortality. Egyptians were buried with an ankh, so that they could continue to live in the "afterworld". The symbol was also found along the sides of the Nile, which gave life to the people. They believed that the ankh could control the flow of the river and make sure that there was always enough water.44. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Concept of Peace.B. Origin of Peace Symbols.C. Popular Peace Symbols.D. Cultural Difference of Peace.45. The rainbow represents the connection between human beings and their gods in all the following countries EXCEPT___________.A. SwedenB. GreeceC. FinlandD. China46. In North Europe mistletoe was often hung in doorways to indicate___________.A. friendshipB. loveC. kinshipD. honour47. The origin of the ankh can date back to___________.A. the NileB. the "afterworld"C. the hippie movementD. ancient EgyptPASSAGE THREE(1)Two sides almost never change: That you can manipulate people into self-sufficiency and that you can punish them into good citizenship.(2)The first manifests itself in our tireless search for the magical level at which welfare grants are big enough to meet basic needs but small enough to make low-paid work attractive. The second has us looking to the criminal justice system to cure behavior that is as much as anything the result of despair.(3)The welfare example is well known. We don't want poor people to live in squalor or their children to be malnourished. But we also don't want to subsidize the indolence of people who are too lazy to work. The first impulse leads us to provide housing, food stamps, medical care and a cash stipend for families in need. The second gets us to think about "workforce".(4)We've been thinking about it for two reasons: the "nanny" problems of two high-ranking government officials (who hired undocumented foreigners as householdhelpers, presumably because they couldn't find Americans to do the work) and President Clinton's proposal to put a two-year limit on welfare.(5)Maybe something useful will come of Clinton's idea, but I'm not all that hopeful. It looks to me like one more example of trying to manipulate people into taking care of themselves.(6)On the criminal justice side, we hope to make punishment tough enough to discourage crime but not so tough as to clog our prisons with relatively minor offenders. Too short a sentence, we fear, will create contempt for the law. Too long a sentence will take up costly space better used for the violent and unremorseful.(7)Not only can we never find the "perfect" punishment, our search for optimum penalties is complicated by our desire for fairness: to let the punishment fit the crime. The problem is that almost any punishment - even the disgrace of being charged with a crime - is sufficient to deter the middle class, while for members of the underclass, probation may be translated as "I beat it."(8)So how can you use the system - welfare or criminal justice - to produce the behavior we want? The answer, I suspect is: You can't.(9)We keep trying to use welfare and prison to change people - to make them think and behave the way we do - when the truth is the incentives work only for those who already think the way we do: who view today's action with an eye on the future.(10)We will take lowly work (if that is all that's available) because we believe we can make bad jobs work for us. We avoid crime not because we are better people but because we see getting caught as a future-wrecking disaster. We are guided by a belief that good things will happen for us in the future if we take proper care of the present. Even under theworst of circumstances, we believe we are in control of our lives.(11)And we have trouble understanding that not everybody believes as we believe. The welfare rolls, the prisons and the mean streets of our cities are full of people who have given up on their future. Without hope for the future, hard work at a low-paid job makes no sense. Working hard in school, or pleasing a boss, or avoiding pregnancy makes no sense. The deadly disease is hopelessness. The lawlessness and poverty are only the obvious symptoms.(12)I'm not advocating that we stop looking for incentives to move poor people toward self-sufficiency or that we stop punishing people for criminal behavior. There will always be some people who need help and some who deserve to be in jail.(13)All I'm saying is that the long-term answer both to welfare and the crime that plagues our communities is not to fine tune the welfare and criminal justice systems but to prevent our children from getting the disease of despair.(14)If we encourage our young people to believe in the future, and give them solid evidence for believing, we'll find both crime and poverty shrinking to manageable proportions.48. What is the author's attitude towards Clinton's proposal to welfare?A. Pessimistic.B. Optimistic.C. Suspicious.D. Sarcastic.49. It can be inferred from Para. 7 that optimum penalties are___________to the underclass.A. uselessB. hopelessC. frighteningD. humiliating50.

自己草拟答案:和COLLEGEBOARD的很多其他考试相似,新SAT的选择题选项中往往会出现非常多的陷阱。
如果学生在看完一道题目以后立刻去看选项,很容易被迷惑而给出错误的答案。
比较好的方法是先草拟出自己的答案,在把这个答案和选项进行对比。
单词的关注:和旧SAT的区别在于,新的考试大大降低了对于难词的考核。
当遇到充满复杂单词的文章时,不要惊慌,因为有着2条重要的规则可以遵循:1. 复杂的单词往往会被解释。
2. 复杂的单词可能只是纸老虎,对于做题没有任何的影响。
例如:The chemical formula of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)/ 被解释is now well established. The molecule is a very long chain, the backbone of which consists of a regular alternation of sugar and phosphate groups.To each sugar is attached a nitrogenous/不重要base, which can be of four different types. Two of the possible bases—adenine and guanine—arepurines/不重要, and the other two—thymine and cytosine/不重要—are pyrimidines. So far as is known, the sequence of bases along the chain is irregular. The monomer unit, consisting of phosphate, sugar and base, is known as a nucleotide.The first feature of our structure which is of biological interest is that it consists not of one chain,but of two. These two chains are both coiled around a common fiber axis. It has often been assumed that since there was only one chain in the chemical formula there would only be one in the structural unit. However, the density, taken with the X-ray evidence, suggests very strongly that there are two.注意文章每一段论据(support)和后面的支持性的解释,充满证据和鼓动性细节的关系:在新SAT的阅读中有2中题目会有直接的伴侣关系第一道题目往往是一道细节题,而第二道题目会问及第一道题目的细节是被文章段落中的何种证据支持的例子:1. The passage indicates that the assumption made by gift-givers in lines 41-44 may be2. Which choice provides the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?在做这样两道题目的时候,一定要明察秋毫般的把论据,细节和支持细节的例子,修辞手法等的关系完全梳理清楚,否则极其容易2道题目都回答错误。

写作范文:On the Relationship between Doctors and PatientsIn the present age, it is generally acknowledged that the relationship between doctors and patients is playing indispensable roles in our lives. As far as I am concerned, we should balance this kind of relationship from two aspects, doctors and patients.The causes of this perspective are multiple. In the first place, the reason has been cited as a major reason that doctors cannot be understood, for patients always maintain doctors can cure all kinds of disease. This is mainly due to the fact that although medical technology and science are advanced at an amazing rate, there exists a multitude of various kinds of diseases we cannot cure. Furthermore, the reason can contribute this perspective that patients are believed to be lack of the fundamental medical knowledge, which results in this relationship are worried. Plenty of evidence has shown that an increasing number of patients often go to extremes if their diseases cannot be cure instantly.When it comes to our modern society, it is universally acknowledged that dealing with the relationship between doctors and patients in a reasonable way plays a vitally important role in our lives. Undoubtedly, if we spare no efforts to do so, our future will be hopeful and promising.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection ANew report 11.答案: B) Her little brother.Q: Who did Edison raise money for?解析: 新闻首句原则,了解大致内容是Edison卖柠檬水和画画为生病需要做心脏手术(surgery)的弟弟筹资。
