The story is told by a girl named Mary Smith and it centers upon(将…当做中心) Miss Matty —Miss Matilda Jenkyns —an elderly, single lady whose character is one of simple goodness. Other characters are her ladies who form “society”in the village. Cranford has been called “a grown-up fairy tale”and, gentle though it may be, it‟s one of the notable(著名的) books about early Victorian England.习题解析1.

Well-nourished children tend to do all the following but _________.【细节题】7. Which of the following statement is NOT true?【判断题】8. Malnutrition may be caused by __________. 【细节题】9. It is implied in the passage that ________. 【推理题】10. What‟s the main idea of the passage?【主旨题】篇章解析Nutritional (营养的) status affects children‟s behavior. Well-nourished(营养良好的)children are more alert(警惕的,警觉的)and attentive(专心的)and are better able to benefit from physical(身体的)and learning experience. Poorly nourished(营养不良) children may be quiet and withdrawn(沉默寡言的), or too active during class activities. Fat children also face many problems. They are often slow and less able to participate in(参与) physical activity. They may suffer from(遭受)being laughed at(嘲笑)and emotional stress by being excluded from(排斥) playmates.Children‟s resistance(抵抗) to infection(感染) and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status. Children who are well nourished are less likely to(不太可能做某事)become ill; they also recover(恢复)more quickly when they are sick. Poorly nourished children are more sensitive to(对…敏感) infections and illness. Illness also increases the need for some nutrients (营养物质). Thus poor nutrition creates a cycle of illness, poorer nutritional status, and lowered resistance to illness.Malnutrition(营养不良)is a serious problem for many young children but it is not always associated with(把…和联系起来) poverty or a poor environment. Children of middle and upper income families may also be malnourished(营养不良的)because of(由于) unwise food selections. Malnutrition occurs when there is prolonged (拖延的) imbalance(不平衡) of the nutrients that are required and the nutrients that are actually eaten. Malnutrition may be the result of under-nutrition or over-nutrition.It is important that both of these conditions be avoided in young child. An adequate(充足的)intake(摄入) of all required nutrients is most vital during early periods of growth and development. Also, the effects of nutritional deficiency(缺乏)on physical development during early childhood are less likely to be changed by improved dietary(饮食的) intake later.习题解析6. Well-nourished children tend to do all the following but _________.A. be attentive while learningB. be too active in classD. behave very properlychildren may be quiet and withdrawn(沉默寡言的), or too active during class activities.【答案】B7. Which of the following statement is NOT true?A. Children‟s resistance to illness is directly proportional to(与…成正比) their poor nutritional status.B. The well-nourished tend to recover quickly when they are ill.C. The poorly-nourished are most likely to(更有可能做某事) be the victims of any infections disease.D. The …cycle‟ indicates that illness can turn the poor nutritional condition for the worse.【解析】Children‟s resistance(抵抗) to infection(感染) and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status.【答案】A8. Malnutrition may be caused by __________.A. a poor environmentB. unwise food selectionsC. under-nutritionD. all of the above…. but it is not always associated with(把…和联系起来)Children of middle and upper income families may also be malnourished(营养不良 unwise food selections Malnutrition may be the result of under-nutrition or over-nutrition.【答案】D9. It is implied in the passage that ________.A. over-nutrition is even more harmful than under-nutritionD. the nutrients intake can be improved as the child grows up【解析】It is important that both of these conditions be avoided in young child. An adequate(充足的)intake(摄入) of all required nutrients is most vital during early periods of growth and development. Also, the effects of nutritional deficiency(缺乏)on physical development during early childhood are less likely to be changed by improved dietary(饮食的) intake later【答案】C10. What‟s the main idea of the passage?A. The difference between well and poorly nourished children.B. The effects of nutrition on children.C. The cause of malnutrition.D.

It can be inferred from the passage that ________. 【推理题】15. This passage was most probably written in _________. 【推理题】篇章解析In the year 1906 Woodrow Wilson, who was then president of Princeton University said, “Nothing has spread socialistic(社会主义的) feeling in this century more than the automobile(汽车),” and added that it offered “a picture of the arrogance(自大,傲慢)of wealth”. Less than twenty years later, two women of Muncie, Indiana, both of whom were managing on small incomes, spoke their minds to investigators(调查者)gathering facts for that admirable(令人钦佩的,值得赞扬的) study of an American community, Middletown. Said one, who was the mother of nine children. “We‟d rather(宁愿) do without clothes than give up(放弃) the car.” Said the other, “I‟ll go without food before I‟ll see us give up the car.” And elsewhere another housewife, in answer to(响应) a comment on the fact that her family owned a car but no bathtub, uttered(发出)a fitting theme song(主题歌)for the automobile revolution. “Why,” said she, “you can‟t go to town in a bathtub!”This change in the status of the automobile from luxury(奢侈) for the many —a change which, as we shall see, transformed(转变) American communities and daily habits and ideas throughout the half century —did not come about(发生)suddenly. It could not. For it depended upon(依靠)three things. First, a reliable(可靠的), manageable(易操纵的), and not expensive car. Second, good roads. And third, garages and filling stations(加油站) in great number. And all these three requirements had to come slowly, by degrees(逐渐地), each strengthening(加强) the others; a man who had tried to operate(经营) a filling station beside a dusty(落满灰尘的) road in 1906 would have speedily(迅速地)gone bankrupt(破产).习题解析11.

What is not said about the landscape in Iceland?【细节题】17. Icelanders‟ religion lies basically in _________. 【细节题】18. We can conclude from the passage that ________.【推理题】19. The underlined word “crucial” (Para. 4, line 4) means______.【词汇题】20. The best title for this passage would be ________. 【主旨题】篇章解析From the beginning of painting in Iceland, it has been the country‟s landscapes(风景) that has been the main subject(主题) for artists.And it should surprise nobody, as closeness to a magnificent(壮丽的) and imposing(壮观的) native land has been the great fountain(喷泉)which has nourished the country‟s children. Not only painters and artists have fed off(以…为食物来源) this source —all Icelanders have to some extent(在一定程度上) received spiritual(精神的) strength and inspiration(灵感) from the country‟s nature.It is because of this that the landscape, the appearance of the country and the moods of nature mean so such to Icelanders. They are moved by pictures from foreign lands. Many places hold a special place in people‟s hearts.Belief in the land is a common expression of those feelings an d views —that the destiny(命运) of land and nation are interrelated(相关的) and that nothing can change this. It is thus maintained(主张), both seriously andjokingly, that Icelanders‟religion lies in(在于)this “belief in the land.”No surprise that pictorial(图像的) representations(代表) of landscape are crucial to Icelanders.The modern age with its variation(变化) and experimentation(实验) in the arts and other fields has created many new outlooks which fly directly in the face of traditional attitudes. These new perspectives(观点) are often fresh winds which prompt(促进) us to reconsider and reform our viewpoints, even if they don‟t overturn(推翻) the old ones. And of course young, creative artists have other things in mind that simply recycling what others have done before them. Those who pioneer(开辟), who present(提出)original(新颖的,独特的)solutions, seldom achieve their breakthroughs(突破) quickly. Their struggle(奋斗) is always exciting —and often the one which bears the most fruit.习题解析16. What is not said about the landscape in Iceland?A. It has always been the main subject for paintings.B.

雅思(阅读)历年真题试卷汇编15(题后含答案及解析) 题型有:1.REVIEW OF RESEARCH ON THE EFFECTS OF FOOD PROMOTION TO CHILDRENThis review was commissioned by the Food Standards Agency to examine the current research evidence on: the extent and nature of food promotion to children the effect, if any, that this promotion has on their food knowledge, preferences and behaviour.A Children’s food promotion is dominated by television advertising, and the great majority of this promotes the so-called ‘Big Four’of pre-sugared breakfast cereals, soft-drinks, confectionary and savoury snacks. In the last ten years advertising for fast food outlets has rapidly increased. There is some evidence that the dominance of television has recently begun to wane. The importance of strong, global branding reinforces a need for multi-faceted communications combining television with merchandising, tie-ins’and point of sale activity. The advertised diet contrasts sharply with that recommended by public health advisors, and themes of fun and fantasy or taste, rather than health and nutrition, are used to promote it to children. Meanwhile, the recommended diet gets little promotional support.B There is plenty of evidence that children notice and enjoy food promotion. However, establishing whether this actually influences them is a complex problem. The review tackled it by looking at studies that had examined possible effects on what children know about food, their food preferences, their actual food behaviour(both buying and eating), and their health outcomes(eg. obesity or cholesterol levels). The majority of studies examined food advertising, but a few examined other forms of food promotion. In terms of nutritional knowledge, food advertising seems to have little influence on children’s general perceptions of what constitutes a healthy diet, but, in certain contexts, it does have an effect on more specific types of nutritional knowledge. For example, seeing soft drink and cereal adverts reduced primary aged children’s ability to determine correctly whether or not certain products contained real fruit.C The review also found evidence that food promotion influences children’s food preferences and their purchase behaviour. A study of primary school children, for instance, found that exposure to advertising influenced which foods they claimed to like; and another showed that labelling and signage on a vending machine had an effect on what was bought by secondary school pupils. A number of studies have also shown that food advertising can influence what children eat. One, for example, showed that advertising influenced a primary class’s choice of daily snack at playtime.D The next step, of trying to establish whether or not a link exists between food promotion and diet or obesity, is extremely difficult as it requires research to be done in real world settings. A number of studies have attempted this by using amount of television viewing as a proxy for exposure to television advertising. They have established a clear link between television viewing and diet, obesity, and cholesterol levels. It is impossible to say, however, whether this effect is caused by theadvertising, the sedentary nature of television viewing or snacking that might take place whilst viewing. One study resolved this problem by taking a detailed diary of children’s viewing habits. This showed that the more food adverts they saw, the more snacks and calories they consumed.E Thus the literature does suggest food promotion is influencing children’s diet in a number of ways. This does not amount to proof; as noted above with this kind of research, incontrovertible proof simply isn’t attainable. Nor do all studies point to this conclusion; several have not found an effect. In addition, very few studies have attempted to measure how strong these effects are relative to other factors influencing children’s food choices. Nonetheless, many studies have found clear effects and they have used sophisticated methodologies that make it possible to determine that i)these effects are not just due to chance; ii)they are independent of other factors that may influence diet, such as parents’ eating habits or attitudes; and iii)they occur at a brand and category level.F Furthermore, two factors suggest that these findings actually downplay the effect that food promotion has on children. First, the literature focuses principally on television advertising; the cumulative effect of this combined with other forms of promotion and marketing is likely to be significantly greater. Second, the studies have looked at direct effects on individual children, and understate indirect influences. For example, promotion for fast food outlets may not only influence the child, but also encourage parents to take them for meals and reinforce the idea that this is a normal and desirable behaviour.G This does not amount to proof of an effect, but in our view does provide sufficient evidence to conclude that an effect exists. The debate should now shift to what action is needed, and specifically to how the power of commercial marketing can be used to bring about improvements in young people’s eating.You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 on the following pages.Questions 1-7Reading Passage 1 has seven paragraphs, A-G.Choose the most suitable heading for paragraphs A-G from the list of headings below.Write the appropriate number, i-x, in boxes 1-7 on your answer sheet.List of Headingsi General points of agreements and disagreements of researchersii How much children really know about foodiii Need to take actioniv Advertising effects of the “Big Four”v Connection of advertising and children’s weight problemsvi Evidence that advertising affects what children buy to eatvii How parents influence children’s eating habitsviii Advertising’s focus on unhealthy optionsix Children often buy what they wantx Underestimating the effects advertising has on children1.Paragraph A正确答案:viii解析:作为开头段落,该段落前半部分先介绍了常见的面向儿童的广告内容,例如“Big Four”,而且介绍了食品促销的现状。

SECTION 2Questions 9-10 are based on the following passage.At a preconcert interview in 2000 for the performanceof one of her works in London, Rhian Samuel was askesdabout her well-known reluctance to be considered a Welshcomposer. Her reply –―I am not so happy to be called only linea Welsh composer because I haven‘t lived in Wales all my 5life and have other influences as well. On the other hand, I[have] been a woman all my life! ‖ – brought both laughterand applause from the expectant crowd of concertgoers.In short, Samuel is proud to be considered first a womancomposer, one whose connection to the Welsh language 10and people resurfaces at interludes throughout her musicallife.9. The primary purpose of the passage is to(A) discuss a composer‘s musical training(B) clarify a musician‘s self-perception(C) discribe an artist‘s linguistic talents(D) reveal the preferences of a particular audience(E) reconcile two antithetical views of a performance10.

There were a few things that needed work in line this arrangement. Any mother who has an eighteen-year- 5 old daughter would completed understand why I didn‘tmention my decision to go back to college to Olivia.What? I can‘t believe it. Are you actually copyingme? Don‘t you think you should consider getting yourown life? It wasn‘t that I planned never to tell her. I just 10 figured I‘d wait a bit –untile we‘d had a little time to misseach other.11. The narrator‘s attitude toward her situation is best described as(A) perplexed(B) prudent(C) sentimental(D) annoyed(E) derisive12. The narrator uses the questions in lines 8-10 primarily to(A) voice some pressing concerns(B) admit to some personal qualms(C) characterize a likely response(D) highlight an unpleasant memory(E) begin a discussion答案:BABCQuestions 13-24 are based on the following passages.These passages discuss string theory, the as-yet-unproven idea that all matter in the universe is made up of ―strings‖ so small that they have not been detected by instruments.The passages were adapted from books published in 2000 and 2006, respectively.Passage 1String theory is a work in progress whose partialcompletion has already revealed remarkably elegantanswers to questions about nature‘s most fundamentalconstituents and forces. For instance, in string theory many lineaspects of nature that might appear to be arbitrary technical 5details – such as the number of distinct varieties of particleingredients and their properties – are found to arise fromtangible aspects of geometry of the universe.In the final analysis, though, nothing is a substitute fordefinitive, testable predictions that can determine whether 10string theory has truly lifted the veil of mystery hiding thedeepest truths of our universe.It may be some time beforeour level of comprehension has reached sufficient depth toachieve this aim. In fact, the mathematics of string theoryis so complicated that, to date, no one even knows the exact 15equations of the theory. Nevertheless, experimrntal testscould provide strong circumstantial support for stringtheory within the next ten years or so.One of the pioneers of string theory summarizes thesituation by saying that ―string theory is a part of twenty- 20first-century physics that fell by chance into the twentiethcentury. ‖ It is as if our forebears in the nineteenth centuryhad been presented with a modern-day supercomputer,without the operating instructions. Through inventive trialand error, hints of the supercomputer‘s power would have 25become evident, but it would have taken vigorous andprolonged effort to gain true mastery. The hints of thecomputer‘s potential, like our glimpses of string theory‘sexplanatory power, would have provide strong motivationfor obtaining complete facility. A similar motivation today 30energizes physicists to pursue string theory.Science proceeds in fits and starts. Scientists putforward results, both theoretical and experimental. Theresults are then debated by the community; sometimes theyare discarded, sometimes they are modified, and sometimes 35they provide inspiration for new and more accurate waysof understanding the universe. In other words, scienceproceeds along a zigzag path toward what we hope will beultimate truth, a path that began with humanity‘s ea rliestattempts to fathom the cosmos and whose end we cannot 40 predict. Whether string theory is an incidental rest stopalong this path, a landmark turning point, or the finaldestination we do not know. But the last two decadesof reseach by hundreds of dedicated physicists andmathematicians has given us well-founded hope that 45 we are on the right and possibly final track.Passage 2No matter how things turn out, the story of string theoryis an episode with no parallel in the history of modernphysics. More than twenty years of research by thousandsof the world‘s best scientists producing tens of thousands 50of scientific papers has not led to a single testableexperimental prediction of the theory. This unpreccedentedsituation leads one to ask whether one can really describestring theory as science.Human beings engage in many different attempts to 55 explain the world around them, but only a specific sort ofexplanation is normally considered to be scientific. Anexplanation that allows one to predict successfully indetails what will happen when one goes out and performsa feasible experiment is the sort of explanation that most 60 clearly can be labeled. ―scientific. ‖ Explanations that cannotbe used to form predictions clearly do not deserve thislabel.Remarkably, the lack of any progress in achieving apredictive version of string theory that could be tested by 65 experiment has not led to theorists‘ giving it up. Indeed, inrecent years, many string theorists have become convincedthat string theory inherently must allow an astronomicallylarge number of physical possibilities, so many that it isdifficult to see how the theory can ever be tested. Y et some 70 theorists are convinced that a better understanding of thetheory will uncover testable phenomena. This way ofthinking is a steadfast refusal to acknowledge the lessonthat conventional science says one should draw in this kindof circumstance: if one‘s theory can‘t predict anything, one 75 should try something else.The phrase ―not even wrong ‖ is popular amongphysicists. A theory can be ―not even wrong‖ becauseit is so incomplete and ill-defined that it can‘t be used tomake predictions whose failure would show it to be wrong. 80This sort of ―not even wrong‖ is not necessarily a badthing. Most new theoretical ideas begin in this state, and itcan take quite a bit of work before their implications arewell enough understood for researchers to be able to tellwhether the idea is right or wrong. But there is a second 85connotation of ―not even wrong‖: something worse thana wrong idea. In case of string theory, the way somephysicists are abandoning fundamental scientific principlesrather than admit that a theory is wrong is something of thiskind: worse than being wrong is refusing to admit when 90one is wrong.13. Which best describes the relationship between two passages?(A) Passage 1 provides concrete evidence in support of a hypothesis attacked in Passage 2.(B) Passage 1 advocates a theoretical approach that is only reluctantly endorsed by Passage 2.(C) Passage 1 praises the achievements of a scientific researcher who is denounced in Passage 2.(D) Passage 1 offers a largely positive assessment of a theory that is criticized in Passage 2.(E) Passage 1 offers a detailed description of a methodology that is praised in Passage 2.14. The author of Passage 2 would most likely respond to the claim in lines 9-12 in Passage 1 (―In the … universe‖) with(A) complete agreement(B) amused toleration(C) deliberate neutrality(D) open skepticism(E) total opposition15. The author of Passage 2 would most likely argue that the prediction made in lines 16-18 in Passage 1(―Nevertheless …or so‖) is(A) unlikely to come to pass(B) based on relevant data(C) a patently obvious claim(D) a somewhat plausible outcome(E) an unnecessarily pessimistic assessment16. In the analogy of the supercomputer(lines 22-30), modern physicists resemble the ―forebears‖ in that both(A) have an obligation to acknowledge their own limitations(B) lack the knowledge to take full advantage of a tool(C) fail to recognize the complexity of a challenge(D) must learn to use computers to do their work more effectively(E) should seek instructiom to understand a phenomenon more fully17. In line 32, ―fits‖ most nearly means(A) violent attack(B) unprovoked tantrums(C) emotional reactions(D) unexpected whims(E) sudden bursts18.The characterization of the ―path‖ (line 38) suggests that science(A) result from purely chance events(B) is driven by an unforeseen and mysterious purpose(C) progresses in an orderly manner(D) is inaccessible to those without proper training(E) advances in indirect and sometimes unexpected ways19. The author of Passage 2 would most likely advise the ―physicists and mathematicians‖ referred to in lines 44-45, Passage 1, to(A) redouble their current efforts(B) collaborate more with one another(C) find new avenues for research(D) pursue a more interdisciplinary approach(E) seek to replicate their experimental findings20. The primary contrast in lines 47-52 (―No matter …theory‖) is between the(A) size of a project and its importance(B) purpose of an undertaking and its result(C) history of an enterprise and its future(D) scope of an endeavor and its outcome(E) randomness of an approach and its findings21. Pa ssage 1 suggests that its auther would most likely argue that the ―unprecedented situation‖ (line 52-53, Passage 2) is(A) proof of the arbitrary nature of theoretical physics(B) evidence of the lack of consensus among physicists(C) a sign of the challenges involved with working with supercomputers(D) a testament to the difficulty of directly observing subatomic phenomena(E) a consequence of the highly complex mathematics underlying string theory22. The second paragraph in Passage 2 (lines 55-63) primarily serves to(A) analyze the steps required by a process(B) assess the practicality of achieving an objective(C) articulate the criteria required to meet a standard(D) characterize the qualifications of practitioners(E) describe the significant advancements of a discipline23. In line 74, ―draw‖ most nearly means(A) sketch(B) lesd(C) attract(D) infer(E) provokr24. Both authors would agree with which statement about string theory?(A) Through its development, important technological advances have taken place.(B) In its current state, the explanations it provides are ultimately incomplete.(C) It is unlikely that it will ever provide an encompassing explanation.(D) It is beginning to be challenged by the majority of scientists.(E) It represents our best chance of understanding subatomic phenomena.答案:DAABEECDECDBSECTION 5Qusetions 6-9 are based on the following passages.Passage 1Liars may betray themselves through linguisticmistakes,but the main sources of betrayal are the emotions.Emotion reveals itself, sometimes in contradictory ways,in voice, body and face.Deceptions typically involve line trying to conceal feelings that are inappropriate or trying 5cover up the fear, guilt, and distress that may be provokedwhen one attempts to get away with a lie. When a personlies and has an emotional investment in the situation, aperfect performance is hard to carry off. Nonverbal cluesto deception leak out. What is surprising is that few people 10 make use of these clues and thus liars go undetected.Passage 2Human beings are terrible lie detectors. In studies,subjects asked to distinguish truth from lies answercorrectly approximately half the time. People are oftenled astray by an erroneous sense of how a liar hehaves. 15―People hold a stereotype of the liar – as tormented,anxious, and conscience-stricken, ‖ researchers BellaDePaulo and Charles Bond write. Clumsy deceiversare sometimes visibly agitated, but in general there is nosuch thing as ―typical‖ deceptive behavior. As DePaulo 20says, ―To be a good liar, you don‘t need to know whatbehaviors really separate liars from truthtellers, butwhat behaviors people think separaate them.‖6. Which best describes the relationship between the passage?(A) Passage 1 discusses lying from a moral stance, whereas Passage 2 examines it from a legal viewpoint.(B) Passage 1 views lying as a skill that is learned, whereas Passage 2 considers it an instinctive impulse.(C) Passage 1 claims that lying is characterized by certain distinctive behaviors, whereas Passage2 largely rejects that notion.(D) Passage 1 takes a scientific approach to lying, whereas Passage 2 discusses it from an anecdotal perspective.(E) Passage 1 focuses on the effects of lying, whereas Passage 2 examines its causes.7. Lines 1-2, Passage 1(―Liars may … emotions‖), and lines 18-20, Passage 2(―Clumsy … behavior‖), both contain instances of(A) Simile(B) paradox(C) euphemism(D) qualification(E) understatement8. The author of Passag e 2 would most likely describe the claim about ―fear, guilt, and distress‖ (lines 6, Passage 1) as a(A) conventional but inaccurate perception(B) plausible theory that may prove to be correct(C) misconception of little significance(D) nonstandard view that is based on faulty science(E) widespread and well-substantiated belief9. Lines 20-23(―As … them‖)suggest that Bella DePaulo would most likely maintain that Passage 1(A) overlooks the behavior patterns of those who tell the truth(B) presents the very misconceptions that people often have about liars(C) offers a perceptive psychological analysis of liars‘ deceptive behaviors(D) takes a overly sympathetic view of deceptive behavior(E) overemphasizes the role of linguistic patterns in lying答案CDABQuestions 16-24 are based on the following passage.This passage is adaptes from the autobiographical cacount of a journalist traveling through Africa to reseach chimpanzees.Our walk through the forest was like a journey throughan extended underground cavern.. We wound throughobscure passages, out into small openings or great rooms,and then tunneled back into winding passageways. Toward linethe end of the afternoon, we followed what seemed to be a 5large movement of chimpanzees into one great open roomin the forest, relatively clear except for columns of nuttrees. Soon about a dozen chimps were hammering away,using log hammers on log or root anvils.We had entered a factory, but it was also a nursery. I 10turned to watch a mother playing with infant, ticklinghis toes with playful little nibbles and then looking intohis laughing face and eyes with the most amazing gazeof adoration. Elsewhere, three adult females had situatedthemselves in a tree and were kissing and tickling an infant, 15who writhed with apparent pleasure. Suddenly, their faces,which had taken on remarkable glowing expressions ofadoration, registered in my mind as entirelycomprehensible, I was looking at intelligent facesexperiencing an emotin I could only imagine to be love. 20One commentator has said that the big differencebetween humans and chimps (intelligent though thoseapes may be ) is that humans can invent great wondersof technology. ―I considered the difference betweenmen and animals, ‖ this person wrote. ―Some were vast.25A chimpanzee could be taught to drive a car. It couldeven be taught to bulid parts of it. But it could not beginto design it …. Our intellect is incomparably moresophisticated than [ that of ] any animals. ‖One hears thissort of argument often, and, to my mind, it is mere 30self-stroking puffery. Could you or I begin to design acar? Has any single human actually designed a cars? Couldany one person abandoned at birth on a desert islandsomewhere – without pictures, communication, education,or artifacts –even invent a tricycle or a child ‗s kite or a 35 mousetrap? Obviously not. Left at birth on a desert island,you and I and that commentator would be lifting anddropping chunks of wood or rounded stones onto hardnuts – and be glad we figured that one out.The great accomplishment of Hemo sapiens is not 40 Technology, which has become bigger and scarier thanwe are, a mixed blessing. The great accomplishment islanguage, which has enabled us to accumulate andcoordinate our achievements, insights, and minicreations.Our big technologies are collective efforts, cultural 45 Products, all and always made possible by language.Even the supposed ―milestones‖ of technologicalAdvancement – the use of movable type, to take oneexample – were collective events. Johannes Gutenberg*didn‘t think up movable t ype whole, in an isolated stroke 50 of genius. His partner was a goldsmith, his father was amint employee, entirely familiar with soft metals. Printingpresses were all around Europe by then. Gutenberg‘s greatgenius was to assemble, revise, and modify alreadylong – established traditions in metallurgy, goldsmithing, 55 and woodblock printing, not to mention papermaking andpress design.Our one great accomplishment is language, but our greathope is the internal compass that may enable us to guideourselves and our technological powers into the future: our 60 glowing capacity for valuing our own kind and for at leastsome empathy beyond our kind. The hand lifting anddropping the stone is less impressive than the eye that gazeswith love.*Gutenberg‘s typesetting process made the mass production of text possible.16. It can be inferred that the ―chimps‖ mentioned in line 8 are(A) using simple tools to crack open nuts(B) expressing themselves by making a lot of noise(C) taaking out their aggressions on the nut trees(D) working cooperatively on different tasks(E) mimicking the work habits of human beings17. The author uses the word ―factory‖ (line 10) primarily to suggest that(A) some chimpanzees live a highly regimented life(B) the sound created by the chimpanzees‘ activity is loud enough to impair hearing(C) the chimoanzees are doing productive work collectively(D) only those chimpanzees who want to participate in communal activities do so(E) the activity of the male chimpanzees differs significantly from that of the females18. In lines 30-31 (―it …puffery‖), the author characterizes the commentaor‘s argument as(A) useless flattery(B) exaggerated self-regard(C) witty repartee(D) self-conscious hyperbole(E) deliberate distortion19. The questions in lines 31-36 serve primarily to(A) suggest ideas for further research(B) provide an example fo missing data(C) point to an alternative explanation(D) debate whether knowledge is incomplete(E) imply that an argument is flawed20. In lines 40-42(―The great … blessing‖), the auther characterizes technology as(A) the accomplishment that distinguishes Homo sapiens from chimpanzees(B) a phenomenon that has come to overshadow those who developed it(C) an inevitable step in the development of human beings and their socienties(D) an achievement that has grown impressively in importance over time(E) a force that is ultimately shaped by the fears of those who created it21. According to the author, th e ―great accomplishment is language‖(lines 42-43) because it allows human beings to(A) combine small, individual advances into something larger and moer powerful(B) express their emotions and show their feeling toward one another(C) work with each other so that dangerous conflicts can be avoided(D) express in concrete form notions that would otherwise seem vague and abstract(E) demonstrate that they are more intelligent, and thus more capable, than chimpanzees22. The auther uses the word‖supposed‖ in line 47 primarily to(A) signal a claim that is counterintuitive for most people(B) make reference to a viewpoint that is known to be controversial(C) suggest that a certain concept may not be entirely accurate(D) indicate a complete and technically correct definition(E) bolster the claims of authorities who are often cited23. Which best describes the relationship between the ―internal compass‖(line 59) and thecharacterization of chimpanzee behaviors in the second paragraph (line 10-20)?(A) One shows a sophisticated understanding, while the other shows a less-developed capacity for understanding(B) One deals with nonverbal communication, while the other deals with communication through language(C) One is an example of a uniquely human ability, while the other is an example for an ability that chimpanzees may or may not have.(D) Both represent the ability to have affection for and understanding of other beings.(E) Both are examples of the ability of primates to use tools to improve their lives.24. The ―hand‖(line 62) and the ―eye‖(line 63) represent, respectively,which of the following?(A) Gesture and feeling(B) War and peace(C) Ingenuity and language(D) Communicaition and meaning(E) Technology and empathy答案:ACBEBACDESECTION 8Question 7-19are based on the following passage.The following passage is from a nineteenth-century British novel. The narrator is Gabriel Betteredge, the butler of Lady Julia V erinder, owner of a stolen diamond called the Moonstone.In the first part of Robinson Crusoe, at pageone hundred and twenty-nine, you will find it thuswritten:―Now I saw, though too late, the Folly of the beginninga Work before we count the Cost, and before we judge 5rightly of our own strength to go through with it.‖Only yesterday I opened my Robinson Crusoe atthat place. Only this morning (May 21, 1850) came mylady‘s nephew, Mr. Franklin Blake, and held a shortconversation with me, as follow: 10―Betteredge,‖ says Mr. Franklin, ―I have been to theLawyer‘s about some family matters; and, among otherThings, we have been talking of the loss of the IndianDiamond, in my aunt‘s house in Y orkshire, two yearssince. The lawyer thinks, as I think, that the whole story 15ought, in the interests of truth, to be placed on recordin writing—and the sooner the better.‖Not perceiving his drift yet, and thinking it alwaysDesirable for the sake of peace and quietness to be onThe lawyer‘s side, I said I thought so too. Mr. Franklin 20 went on:―In this matter of the Diamond,‖ her said, ―the charactersof innocent people have suffered under suspicion already—as you know. The memories of innocent people may suffer, hereafter, for want of a record of the facts to which those 25 who come after us can appeal. There can be no doubt thatthis strange family story of ours ought to be told. And Ithink, Betteregde, the lawyer and I together have hit onthe right way of telling it.‖V ery satisfactory to both of them, no doubt. But I failed 30 to see what I myself had to do with I, so far.―we have certain events to relate,‖ Mr. Franklin pro-Ceded; ―and we have certain persons concerned in thoseevents who are capable of relating them. Starting fromthese plain facts, the lawyer‘s idea is that we should all 35 write the story of the Moonstone in turn—as far as ourown personal experience extends, and no further. wemust begin by showing how the Diamond first fell intothe hands of my uncle Herncastle, when he was servingin India fifty years since. This prefatory narrative I have 40 already got by me in the form of an old family paper,which relates he necessary particulars on the authority ofan eye-witness. The next thing to do is to tell how theDiamond found its way into my aunt‘s house in Y orkshire,two years since, and how it came to be lost in little more 45 than twelve hours afterward. Nobody knows as much asyou do, Betteredge, about what went on in the house atthat time. so you must take the pen in hand, and startthe stoty.‖In those terms I was informed of what my personal 50 concern was with the matter of the Diamond. If youare curious to know what course I took under the circumstances, I beg to inform you that I did what youwould probably have done in my place. I modestlydeclared myself to be quite unequal to the task imposed 55 upon me—and I privately felt, all the time, that I wasquite clever enough to perform it, if I only gave my ownabilities a fair chance. Mr. Franklin, I imagine, must haveseen my private sentiments in my face. He declined tobelieve in my modesty; and her insisted on giving my 60abilities a fair chance.Two hours have passed since Mr. Franklin left me.As soon as his back was turned I went to my writing-deskto start the story. There I have sat helpless (in spite of myabilities) ever since: see what Robinson Crusoe saw, 65as quoted above—namely, the folly of beginning a workbefore we count the cost, and before we judge rightly ofour own strength to go through with it. Please to remember,I opened the book by accident, at that bit, only the daybefore I rashly undertook the business now in hand; and, 70allow me to ask—if that isn‘t prophecy, what is?7. the quotation in lines 4-6 (―now…it‖) implies that one shouldA. assess a project carefully before committing oneself to itB. strive to meet a challenge rather than to avoid itC. take advantage of an opportunity before it is lostD. approach a task with a sense of amusement instead of annoyanceE. focus on the benefits that can be earned by accomplishing a difficult feat8. the repetition of ―Only‖ in lines 7-8 serves to emphasize theA. uniqueness of an experienceB. solitary nature of a taskC. simplicity of a solutionD. brevity of an intervalE. insignificance of an action9. in lines 11-49 (―Betteredge…story‖) , Mr. Franklin proposes thatA. various people contribute individual accounts to a single narrative about the diamondB. everyone with an interest in the diamond gather together to write its storyC. the lawyer interview different people and compile their views in a report about the diamondD. the narrator research and write the definitive story of the diamondE. the narrator determine the reliability of existing documents related to the diamond10. As revealed in lines 18-20( ―not…to), Betteredge‘s attitude toward the lawyer isA. belligerentB. enviousC. deferentialD. protectiveE. emphatic11. In line 23, Mr. Franklin voices the concern that ―innocent people‖A. have been corruptedB. have been defamedC. have been forgotten。
