_________(51)
A:certainly
B:especially
C:apparently
D:practically
答案如下:
B解析:本句是遞進關系,強調本世紀的后20年,所以選B。 certainly意為“必然地”;apparently意為“明顯地”;practically意為“實際上”。
towards表示變化的傾向,意為“朝······方向發展”。
上文提到本世紀的主要變化是女性享有更多與男性同樣的權利。因此可以推斷本世紀初與現在相比,婦女的權利要較少。所以選B。
上一句說“婦女不能投票,被關在家里”,下一句說“據我們所知,大多數婦女很高興這樣”,這顯然是轉折關系,所以選C。
由上文推斷本句的意思應該是“英國婦女當然比過去享有更多的權利”,所以選B。 lack是“缺少”的意思;occupy是“占據”的意思。
give意為“給予”;deprive意為“剝奪”;deny意為“否認,拒絕”;approve意為“批準,通過”。由上文婦女獲得權利可以推斷本句的意思是“1919年,婦女被給予投票權”。因此選A。
share是“分享,共享”的意思,本句的意思是離婚時,給予婦女同樣份額的財產,即夫妻分享財產。所以選D。
上一句說“1970年,法律規定在離婚時給予婦女同樣份額的財產”,下一句說“同年的《同酬法案》給予婦女同工同酬的權利”,兩項法律都是給予婦女權利,是并列關系,所以用表示并列關系的連詞and。
because of意為“因為,由于”;instead of意為“而不是······”;in spite of意為“不管,雖然”;as a result of意為“作為······的結果”。本句的意思是“雖然有這些改變,女性與男性的地位仍然存在巨大差別”,表示讓步關系,所以應選C。
由上文可以推斷雖然有法律規定,但是女性與男性的地位仍然存在巨大差別,工資的差別就是其中之一,這是由于許多雇主忽視《同酬法案》,所以選C。
sb.be likely to do sth.表示可能性,意為“某人很可能做某事”,本句的意思是“做同樣的工作,女性可能平均只賺男性的一半”。
according to sth.意為“根據某事”;apart from/in addition to sth.意為“除了某事”;according to a survey是“根據調查結果”的意思。
by mistake意為“錯誤地”;by accident意為“偶然”;in turn意為“依次,輪流”;in fact意為“事實上”。比較選項只能選D,本句的意思是:“根據一份調查,事實上,現在全國只有1/3的工人是女性。”
stem from是“來自,源于”的意思,相當于result from,本句的意思是“這么小的比例部分是由于缺乏幼兒園。”A result in B是“A導致B”的意思。
上一句提到婦女不參加工作是由于缺乏幼兒園,所以此句應為如果有足夠的幼兒園。

Searching for Smiles
1 Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will
probably be:"to be happy."Ed Deiner,an American psychology professor,has spent his
whole professional life studying what makes people happy,comparing levels of happiness
between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.
2 Many people would say that this question does not need an answer.But Professor Deiner
has one anyway."If you're a cheerful,happy person,your marriage is more likely to last,and
you're more likely to make money and be successful at your job.On average,happy people
have stronger immune(免疫的)systems, and there is some evidence that they live longer."
3 So who are the world's happiest people?It depends on how the word is defined.There
is individual happiness,the sense of joy we get when we do something we like.But there is
also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of
how we behave.According to Professor Deiner,the Western world pursues individual
happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.
4 "In the West, the individualistic(個人主義的)culture means that your mood matters
much more than it does in the East.People ask themselves,what can I do that's fun or
interesting?They become unhappy when they can't do any of these things.If you ask
people from Japan or China if they are happy,they tend to look at what has gone wrong in
their lives.If not much has gone wrong,then they are satisfied."
5 People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries had the happiest culture,Professor
Deiner found."The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame.Hispanic(西班牙
語言的)cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others."
6 Income also made a big difference to people's happiness,but only at the lowest levels.
Average income earners in the US were much happier than people in poverty.But
millionaires were only a little bit happier than people on average incomes.It seems that
money makes us happy when we have enough to feel secure.
7 But can we be too happy? "You get people who are actually happy,but they think
happiness is so important that they try to be even happier.This desire to be always happy is
a product of individualism,where the emphasis is on you individually,your emotions and
feeling good.People can end up feeling unhappy because ordinary happiness is not good
enough for them."

Citizen Scientists
Understanding how nature responds to climate change will require monitoring key life cycle events一
flowering,the appearance of leaves and the first frog calls of the spring一all around the world.But ecologists
can't be everywhere so they're turning to non-scientists,sometimes called citizen scientists,for help.
Climate scientists are not present everywhere.Because there are so many places in the world and not
enough scientists to observe all of them,they're asking for your help in observing signs of climate change
across the world.The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people to observe a very specific
research interest一birds,trees,flowers budding,etc.and send their observations to a giant database to be
observed by professional scientists.This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they
would never be able to gather on their own.Much like citizen journalists helping large publications cover a
hyper-local beat,citizen scientists are ready for the conditions where they live in.All that's needed to become
one is a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and send them in.
A group of scientists and educators launched an organization last year called the National Phenology
Network."Phenology"is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.

Citizen Scientists
Understanding how nature responds to climate change will require monitoring key life cycle events一
flowering,the appearance of leaves and the first frog calls of the spring一all around the world.But ecologists
can't be everywhere so they're turning to non-scientists,sometimes called citizen scientists,for help.
Climate scientists are not present everywhere.Because there are so many places in the world and not
enough scientists to observe all of them,they're asking for your help in observing signs of climate change
across the world.The citizen scientist movement encourages ordinary people to observe a very specific
research interest一birds,trees,flowers budding,etc.and send their observations to a giant database to be
observed by professional scientists.This helps a small number of scientists track a large amount of data that they
would never be able to gather on their own.Much like citizen journalists helping large publications cover a
hyper-local beat,citizen scientists are ready for the conditions where they live in.All that's needed to become
one is a few minutes each day or each week to gather data and send them in.
A group of scientists and educators launched an organization last year called the National Phenology
Network."Phenology"is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.
One of the group's first efforts relies on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data about plant
flowering and leafing eveiy year.The program,called Project BudBurst,collects life cycle data on a variety of
common plants from across the United States.People participating in the project一which is open to every-
one一record their observations on the Project BudBurst website.

Exercise Can Replace Insulin for Elderly Diabetics
Most old people with so-called type Ⅱ diabetes could stop taking insulin if they would do brisk exercise for 30 minutes just three times a week,according to new medical research results reported in the Copenhagen newspaper Berlingske Tidende on Monday.
Results from tests conducted on diabetics at the Copenhagen Central Hospital Rigshospitalet's Center
for Muscle Research showed that physical exercise can boost the body's ability to utilise insulin by 30 percent,the newspaper reported.
This is equal to the effect most elderly diabetics get from their insulin medication today,it said.
Researchers had a group of non-diabetic men and a group of men with type II,all more than 60 years of age,exercise on bicycles six times a week for three months.After the three months the doctors measured how much sugar the test subjects'muscles could utilise as a measure for how well their insulin worked.
Associate Professor Dr.Flemming Dela of the Muscle Research Center said the tests demonstrated that the exercising diabetics had just as high insulin utilisation as the healthy non-exercising persons.
"This means that the insulin works just as well for both groups.Physical exercise cannot cure people of diabetes,but it can eliminate almost all their symptoms.At the same time it can put off the point at which they have to begin taking insulin or perhaps completely avoid insulin treatment,"Dela was quoted as saying.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas,controlling sugar in the body and used against diabetes.
Dela said that to achieve the desired effect diabetics need only exercise to the point where they begin to work up a sweat,but that the activity has to be maintained since it wears off after five days without sufficient exercise。
Most diabetics realise that they have to watch their diet while remaining unaware of the importance of exercise,Dela added.
How could most elderly type Ⅱ diabetics stop taking insulin?
A:By taking more salt than usual.
B:By taking less salt than usual.
C:By doing brisk exercise for half an hour at least three times a week.
D:By going climbing,swimming or boxing every day.

Why Is the Native Language Learnt So Well?
How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well?When we compare them with adults
learning a foreign language,we often find this interesting fact.A little child without knowledge or experience
often succeeds in a complete mastery(精通)of the language,A grown-up person with fully developed mental
powers,in most cases,may end up with a faulty and inexact command(掌握).What accounts for this
difference?
Despite other explanations,the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself,partly in the
behavior of thle people around him.In the first place,the time of learning the mother tongue is the most fa-
vorable of all,namely,the first years of life.A child hears it spoken from morning till night and,what is
more important,always in its genuine form,wirth the right pronunciation,right intonation,right use of words
and right structure. He drinks in(吸收)all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-
bubbling( 冒泡的)spring. There is no resistailce: there is perfect assimilation.
Then the child has,as it were,private lessons all the year round,while an adult language-student has
each week a limited number of hours,which he generally shares withothers.The child has another advan-
tage:he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and
facial expiessiotis.Here there is nothing unnatural,such as is often found in language lessons in schools,
when noe talks aboult ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January.And what a child hears is generally
what immediately interests him.Again and again,when his attempts at speech are successful,his desires are
understood and fulfilled.
Finally,though a child's"teachers"may not have been trained in language teaching,their relations
with him are always close and personal.They take great pains to make their lessons easy.
The reason why children learn their mother tongue so well lies solely in their environment of learning.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案如下:
B解析:句意:和學習外語的成人相比,兒童學習母語較容易。關鍵詞是with ease。依據此關鍵詞,可在文中第一段找到相關敘述:A little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language.A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers,in most cases, may end up with a faulty and inexact command.(一個沒有知識和閱歷的小孩可以完全掌握語言,而大多情況下,一個腦力健全的成人學語言可能會出錯和掌握不準確),因此可推知,兒童學習母語比起成年人學習外語,學的要好得多,故此題為“正確”的。
句意:成年人的知識和智力妨礙了他們對外語的準確掌握。關鍵詞mental powers。依據此關鍵詞在第一段的第三句中發現相關敘述:A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers , in most cases , may end up with a faulty and inexact command.(在大多數的情況下,一個腦力健全的成年人學習語言可能會出錯和掌握不準確。)而該句的下一句提出了成年人和兒童在學習語言方面不同原因的問題,但原文中并沒有提到“造成成年人掌握外語能力較差的原因”,故此題為“未提及”的。
句意:兒童母語學得好的原因只是源于他們的學習環境。本題主要考查對事實細節的判斷。根據文章第二段的段首句:“…the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child him-self, partly in the behavior of the people around him.”由句中兩個partly引出的兩個原因,不難判斷出題目中“solely”的絕對說法是不正確的,故此題為“錯誤”的。
句意:早年大量的聽力練習是兒童成功地學習母語的部分原因。關鍵詞the first years of life.依據此關鍵詞在第二段的第二句中發現相關句:In the first place ,the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all , namely , the first years of life. (早年學習母語的時間是最有益的。)接下來的一句說明了兒童期聽力練習的方式,故此題為“正確”的。
句意:兒童學習母語有常年上家教課的優勢。關鍵詞all the year round。依據此關鍵詞在第三段的第一 句中發現相關句:Then the child has , as it were , private lessons all the year round.(兒童學習母語的優勢好像是可以常年上家教課。)比較原句和問題句的結構,發現不同之處在于“as it were”的結構。實際上,as it were的含義是“好像是”。原文說“好像是”,而問題句說“是”,所以判斷問題句“不正確”,故此題為“錯誤”的。
句意:手勢和面部表情可能會對兒童掌握母語有幫助。關鍵詞:Gestures and facial cxpressions。依據此關鍵詞在第三段的第二句中發現直接相關句:The child has another advan-tage:he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the right kind of ges-tures and facial expressions.(兒童學習母語的另一個優勢是可以接觸各種情景的母語,而且母語中還伴隨了正確的手勢和面部表情。)原句的說法與問題句一致,故此題為“正確”的。
句意:就語言教學而言,教師與學生的親密關系比學生受到專業的語言培訓更重要。本題主要考查對事實細節的判斷。根據文章最后一段的內容事實判斷,并沒有提到“教師與學生的親密關系和學生受到語言培訓的重要性”,故此題為“未提及”的。

The idea was to cap the glorious achievement of 1980,when smallpox was eradicated in the wild,by destroying the killer vims in the last two labs that are supposed to have it one in the US and one in Russia. if smallpox had truly gone from the planet,what point was there in keeping these reserves?

53._________
A:.to go
B: going
C: go
D: went
答案如下:
C解析:in reality意為“實際上,事實上”,這是固定搭配。
此處應填入一個非事實性動詞。imagine是非事實性動詞。know , realize和be aware都是事實性動詞,所以不合適。屬于非事實性動詞的還有believe , think等。
let跟動詞原形,go符合這一原則。
vials是復數,much不合適。另外,本句和上文都沒有比較的意思,因此more和most也都不合適。
上一句句末的標點符號表明本句是一個獨立的句子。只有and可用于一個獨立的句子,其他的選項都不可以。
整個句子說的是美俄“官方”保存的最后的活病毒儲備由于不能帶來明顯的好處而引起大家對這兩個國家的不信任。no obvious gain是名詞短語。for可跟名詞短語,表示原因。because不跟名詞短語。since可跟名詞短語,但跟表示時間的名詞短語。of 可跟名詞短語,但常表示“所屬”關系。
opening the way for tests on new treatments and vaccines:“為試驗新的治療方法和新的疫苗開辟了道路”。這是句子的下半部分。可以看出,上半部分所描寫的model應該是實際上存在的。此處應該用found。它是外延動詞,表示model是存在的。looked for和sought是內涵動詞。它們引起的名詞短語并不一定有外延。因此是不合適的。talked about是“談論”的意思。用在這里,也是不妥的。
open the way是一種固定的說法,意思是“為某事的發生創造了條件”。類似的說法還有:clear the way , prepare the way等。
keep the virus是“保存病毒”的意思。put the virus是不正確的,后面必須有地點狀語。如:You can put the virus in a bottle. destroy the virus和eradicate the virus都是“消滅病毒”的意思,跟后半句話在意思上是矛盾的。
incase是固定的說法,意思是“萬一”。整個句子說的是:因此,又有了一個保存病毒的理由——萬一這種病卷土重來。
這幾個選項意思差不多,但只有deal可跟with搭配。
從緊隨其后的句子來看,用simple是正確的。difficult , hard和safe都跟后面的句子在意思上不連貫。
under the auspice。是固定的說法,意思是“贊同”、“支持”。
It doesn't mean that…是一種固定的表達法。也可以說:It doesn't mean to saythat…
本句是個條件句。從句中動詞一般用現在時表示“未來”。這就排除了will be和would be。 virus是單數,因此D也不正確。

_________(65)
A:efficient

C:delicate
D:enough
答案如下:
D解析:本句是遞進關系,強調本世紀的后20年,所以選B。 certainly意為“必然地”;apparently意為“明顯地”;practically意為“實際上”。
towards表示變化的傾向,意為“朝······方向發展”。
上文提到本世紀的主要變化是女性享有更多與男性同樣的權利。因此可以推斷本世紀初與現在相比,婦女的權利要較少。所以選B。
上一句說“婦女不能投票,被關在家里”,下一句說“據我們所知,大多數婦女很高興這樣”,這顯然是轉折關系,所以選C。
由上文推斷本句的意思應該是“英國婦女當然比過去享有更多的權利”,所以選B。 lack是“缺少”的意思;occupy是“占據”的意思。
give意為“給予”;deprive意為“剝奪”;deny意為“否認,拒絕”;approve意為“批準,通過”。由上文婦女獲得權利可以推斷本句的意思是“1919年,婦女被給予投票權”。因此選A。
share是“分享,共享”的意思,本句的意思是離婚時,給予婦女同樣份額的財產,即夫妻分享財產。所以選D。
上一句說“1970年,法律規定在離婚時給予婦女同樣份額的財產”,下一句說“同年的《同酬法案》給予婦女同工同酬的權利”,兩項法律都是給予婦女權利,是并列關系,所以用表示并列關系的連詞and。
because of意為“因為,由于”;instead of意為“而不是······”;in spite of意為“不管,雖然”;as a result of意為“作為······的結果”。本句的意思是“雖然有這些改變,女性與男性的地位仍然存在巨大差別”,表示讓步關系,所以應選C。
由上文可以推斷雖然有法律規定,但是女性與男性的地位仍然存在巨大差別,工資的差別就是其中之一,這是由于許多雇主忽視《同酬法案》,所以選C。
sb.be likely to do sth.表示可能性,意為“某人很可能做某事”,本句的意思是“做同樣的工作,女性可能平均只賺男性的一半”。
according to sth.意為“根據某事”;apart from/in addition to sth.意為“除了某事”;according to a survey是“根據調查結果”的意思。
by mistake意為“錯誤地”;by accident意為“偶然”;in turn意為“依次,輪流”;in fact意為“事實上”。比較選項只能選D,本句的意思是:“根據一份調查,事實上,現在全國只有1/3的工人是女性。”
stem from是“來自,源于”的意思,相當于result from,本句的意思是“這么小的比例部分是由于缺乏幼兒園。”A result in B是“A導致B”的意思。
上一句提到婦女不參加工作是由于缺乏幼兒園,所以此句應為如果有足夠的幼兒園。
D解析:本句是遞進關系,強調本世紀的后20年,所以選B。 certainly意為“必然地”;apparently意為“明顯地”;practically意為“實際上”。

Mau Piailug,Ocean Navigator
Mau sailed from Hawaii to Tahiti using traditional methods.
In early 1976,Mau Piailug,a fisherman,led an expedition in which he sailed a tradi-tional Polynesian boat across 2,500 miles of ocean from Hawaii to Tahiti.The Polynesian Voyaging Society had organised the expedition.Its purpose was to find out if seafarers(海員) in the distant past could have found their way from one island to the other without naviga-tional instruments,or whether the islands had been populated by accident.At the time,Mau was the only man alive who knew how to navigate just by observing the stars,the wind and the sea.
He had never before sailed to Tahiti,which was a long way to the south.However,he understood how the wind and the sea behave around islands,so he was confident he could find his way.The voyage took him and his crew a month to complete and he did it without a compass or charts.
His grandfather began the task of teaching him how to navigate when he was still a baby.He showed him pools of water on the beach to teach him how the behaviour of the waves and wind changed in different place.Later,Mau used a circle of stones to memorise the positions of the stars.Each stone was laid out in the sand to represent a star.
The voyage proved that Hawaii's first inhabitants came in small boats and navigated by reading the sea and the stars.Mau himself became a keen teacher,passing on his traditional secrets to people of other cultures so that his knowledge would not be lost.He explained the positions of the stars to his students,but he allowed them to write things down because he knew they would never be able to remember everything as he had done.
Mau expected his students to remember the positions of the stars immediately.

答案如下:
B解析:題干意為“瑪烏航行的時候,他有獨特的航行技術。”關鍵詞是unique navi-gational skills。依據此關鍵詞組,可在文中第一段最后一句找到相關敘述:“At the time, Mau was the only man alive who knew how to navigate just by observing the stars,the wind and the sea.”(在那時,瑪烏是在世的人中唯一一個僅僅通過觀察星星、風和海洋來遠航的人。)由此可知,當時來說,瑪烏的航行技術的確是獨特的,故此題說法為“正確”的。
題干意為“瑪烏很熟悉塔希提島周圍的海洋。”關鍵詞是Tahiti。依據此關鍵詞,可在文中第二段前兩句找到相關敘述:“He had never before sailed to Tahiti, which was a long way to the south.However,he understood how the wind and the sea behave around islands, so he was confident he could find his way.”(他從來沒有航行到過塔希提島,從塔希提島到南方是一段很長的路程。然而他知道島周圍的風和海洋是怎么活動的,所以他自信可以找到路。)由此可知,雖然瑪烏沒有去過這個島,但是他很熟悉海洋,故此題說法是“正確”的。
題干意為“瑪烏買不起羅盤和圖表。”關鍵詞是compass和charts。依據關鍵詞,可在文中第二段最后一句找到相關敘述:“The voyage took him and his crew a month to complete and he did it without a compass or charts.”(這次航行要花費他和船員們一個月的時間,而且他們航行的時候沒有羅盤和圖表。)由此可知,他們航行確實用不到羅盤和圖表,但是文中并沒提到瑪烏買不起這些工具,故此說法為“未提及”的。
題干意為“瑪烏從祖父那里學到了航海技術。”關鍵詞是grandfather。依據此關健詞,可在文中第三段第一句找到相關敘述:“His grandfather began the task of teaching him how to navigate when he was still a baby.”(當他還很小的時候,他的祖父就開始教他航海。)故此題說法為“正確”的。
題干意為“瑪烏用石頭記憶天空中星星的位置。”關鍵詞是stones和stars。 依據關鍵詞,可在文中第三段倒數第二句找到相關敘述:“Later, Mau used a circle of stones to memorise the positions of the stars.”(之后,瑪烏用一圈石頭來記憶星星的位置。)故此題說法是“正確”的。
題干意為“夏威夷最早的居民能讀寫。”關鍵詞是first inhabitants of Ha-waii。依據關鍵詞可在文中最后一段第一句找到相關敘述:“The voyage proved that Hawaii's first inhabitants came in small boats and navigated by reading the sea and the stars.”(此次航行證明,夏威夷最早的居民是乘小船來到這里的,并通過觀察海洋和星空來航行。)文中的 reading是觀察的意思,除此之外并沒有提到這些最早的居民會不會讀寫,故此說法是“未提及”的。
題干意為“瑪烏希望自己的學生們能立刻記住星星的位置。”關鍵詞是 students。依據此關鍵詞,可在文中最后一句找到相關敘述:“He explained the positions of the stars to his students,but he allowed them to write things down because he knew they would never be able to remember everything as he had done.”(他向學生們解釋星星的位置, 但他允許學生把知識點寫下來,因為他知道他們不可能像他一樣記住所有東西。)故此題說法為“錯誤”的。

Creating a World without Smoking
Smoking will be banned in all pubs,clubs and workplaces from next year after historic votes in the Commons last night.Afler last-minute appeals from health campaigners,MPs opted for a blanket prohibition which will startin summer 2007,ending months of argument over whether smokers should be barred in pubs and restaurants only.They voted to ban smoking in all pubs and clubs by 384 to 184,a surprisingly large majority of 200.
Smoking will still be allowed in the home and in places considered to be homes,such as prisons,care homes and hotels.
Smokers lighting up in banned areas will face a fixed penalty notice of £50 and spot fines of £ 200 will be introduced for failing to display no-smoking signs,with the possible penalty,if the issue goes to court,increasing to £1,000.
Carpline Flint,the Public Health Minister,also announced that the fine for failing to stop people smoking in banned areas would be increased to£2,500 more than ten times the£200 originally proposed.
The Bill also allows the Government to increase the age for buying cigarettes.Ministers will consult on raising it from 16 to 18.
The Bill now goes to the Lords but will be through by the summer recess.
Even a plan to allow smoking to continue in private clubs was thrown out as MPs on all sides were given permission to vote with their conscience rather than on a party line.
Patricia Hewitt,the Health Secretary,said the Health Bill would ban smoking in"virtually every enclosed public place and workplace"in England and save thousands of lives a year. Smoke-free workplaces and public places"will become the norm".
She said:"An additional 600,000 people will give up smoking as a result of this law and millions more will be protected from second-hand smoke."
Peter Hollins,director-general of the British Heart Foundation,said:"The vote is a landmark victory for the public health of this country and will save the lives of many people."
There is a possibility for the Government to raise the age for buying cigarettes.
A:Right

A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案如下:
A解析:文章第一段第二句提到“MPs opted for a blanket prohibition which will start in summer 2007...",由此可以得知該信息正確。
文章第一段提到2008年將在所有的工作場所禁煙,而官員工作的地方也屬于工作場所,該禁令對他們也不例外,所以該信息錯誤。
第二段說“Smoking will still be allowed in the home and in places considered to be homes",人們可以在自己家里吸煙,所以,該信息正確。
在文中第五段提到:"The Bill also allows the Government to increase the age for buying cigarettes",很顯然,政府可以提高購買香煙的年齡限制。
本題給出的信息文中沒有提及。作者雖然提到了禁煙法案以及各種違反禁令的處罰措施,但并沒有談到政府要關閉制煙廠。
本問題同上,政府實行嚴厲的懲罰措施,但文中沒有提到要對煙草業征收更高的稅收。
文中最后一段提到:"An additional 600,000 people will give up smoking as a result of this law and millions more will be protected from second-hand smoke.",更多的人在衛生法案的影響下戒煙,但“政府采取必要措施幫助吸煙者戒煙”在文中沒有提及。

答案如下:
A解析:句意:Jack被解雇了。畫線單詞dismiss意為“解雇”。fire意為“解雇”;fine意為“罰款”;exhaust意為“排出”;criticize意為“批評”。根據畫線單詞意思,只有fire與其同義,可進行替換。因此A項正確。

Medical Journals Medical journals are publications that report medical information to physicians and other health professionals. In the past,these journals were available only in print.With the development of electronic publishing, many medical journals now have web sites on the Internet,and some journals are published only online.A few medical journals,like the Journal of the American Medical Association,are considered general medical journals because they cover many fields of medicine.
Most medical journals are specialty journals that focus on a particular area of medicine. Medical journals publish many types of articles.Research articles report the results of research studies on a range of topics varying from the basic mechanisms of diseases to clinical trials that compare outcomes of different treatments.
Review articles summarize and analyze the information available on a specific topic based on a careful search of the medical literature.Because the results of individual research studies can be affected by many factors,combining results from different studies on the same topic can be helpful in reaching conclusions about the scientific evidence for preventing,diagnosing or treating a particular disease.
Caseconferences and case reports may be published in medical journals to educate physicians about particular illnesses and how to treat them.Editorials in medical journals are short essays that express the views of the authors,often regarding a research or review article published in the same issue.Editorials provide a perspective on how the current article fits with other information on the same topic.
Letters to the editor provide a way for readers of the medical journal to express comments,questions or criticisms about articles published in that journal.
The main readers of medical journals are______.
A:the general public
B:health professionals
C:medical critics
D:news reporters

Operation Migration
If you look up at the sky in the early fall in the northern part of North America,you may see groups of
birds.These birds are flying south to places where they can find food and warmth for the winter. They are
migrating(遷徙).The young birds usually learn to migrate from their parents. They follow their parents
south.In one unusual case,however,the young birds are following something very different.These birds
are young whooping cranes and they are following an airplane!
The whooping crane is the largest bird that is native to North America.These birds almost disappeared
in the 1 800s.By 1941,there were only about 20 cranes alive.In the 1970s,people were worried that these
creatures were in danger of disappearing completely.As a result,the United States identified whooping
cranes as an endangered species that they needed to protect.
Some researchers tired to help.They began to breed whooping cranes in special parks to increase the
number of birds.This plan was successful,There were a lot of new baby birds.As the birds became older,
the researchers wanted to return them to nature.However,there was a problem:these young birds did not
know how to migrate,They needed human help.
In 2001,some people had a creative idea.They formed an organization called Operation Migration.
This group decided to use very light airplanes,instead of birds,to lead the young whooping cranes on their
first trip south.They painted each airplane to look like a whooping crane.Even the pilots wore special clothing
to make them look like cranes.The cranes began to trust the airplanes,and the plan worked.
Today,planes still lead birds across approxlmately 1,200 mniles(1,931 kilometers),from the United
States-Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico.They leave the birds at different sites.If a trip is successful,
the birds can travel on their own in the future.Then,when these birds become parents,they will teach their
young to migrate.The people of Operation Migration think this is the only way to maintain the whlooping
crane population.
Operation Migration works with several other organizations and government institutes.Together,they as-
sist hundreds of cranes each year. However,some experts predict that soon this won't be necessary.Thanks
to Operation Migration and its partners,the crane population will continue to migrate.Hopefully,they won't
need human help any more.
Whooping cranes are native to_________.
A:Mexico
B:South America
C:the Persian Gulf
D:North America

His Own Way to Express Love
Yesterday was our three-year anniversary.We didn't do anything romantic;we just walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future.This was pretty much what I had expected.
Andy is an unromantic guy : no sweet words or roses.Smart as he is,he is a little bit shy expressing his love. In contrast , I am an outspoken(直言不諱)girl who likes to show her feelings directly .So needless to say,I often feel that he is insensitive.I envy other girls who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day:“If one does not love you in the way you like,it does not mean that he does not love you.”This simple but sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night,I got a high fever. He hurried to my dormitory and took me to the hospital.He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks.After arrival,he ran through the hospital handling all the formalities(手續).When I was put on a drip(點滴),he told me interesting stories to make me happy. Being held in his warm arms and listening to his tender(溫柔的)voice,I had never felt so safe and comfortable.Gradually,I fell asleep.When I woke up 15 minutes later , he was still mumbling(咕濃地說)to me. He explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up.At that moment,I found love in his eyes.
Another time,I had a bad quarrel with my best friend.Although I knew it was my fault,I refused to admit it.I was angry when he insisted I apologize to her. He said that it was difficult to admit a mistake,but this was what everyone should do. The next morning,I apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father,understands me like my mother and helps me like my elder brother.
The word“sullen”in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by______.
A: “cheerful”
B: “calm”
C: “good”
D: “bad”

Aromatherapy(芳香療法)
1 Aromatherapy is a form of alternative medicine which is based on the use of very concentrated"es-sential"oils from the flowers,leaves,bark,branches or roots of plants which are considered to have healing properties.In aromatherapy these powerful oils are mixed with other oils , such as almond(杏仁)oil, or they are diluted(稀釋)with water.These solutions(溶液劑)can be rubbed on the skin,sprayed in the air, or applied as a compress(敷藥).
2 Many people have aromatherapy massages(按摩),and depending on the treatment a person is having, the aromatherapist will massage the oil into the hands or shoulders.The massage is smooth and flowing,as it is designed to create a sense of relaxation and calm.The sessions are tailored to the individual's health and mood at the time,so every session is unique.
3 Practitioners of aromatherapy believe that the aroma of the"essential"oils directly stimulates the brain or that the oils are absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream,where they can affect the whole body and promote healing.Other claims in support of aromatherapy are that it aids digestion,improves the functioning of respiratory system,reduces muscular aches and pains,and promotes muscle relaxation and tone.It has also been argued that aromatherapy can improve circulation,lower blood pressure,and help combat insomnia(失眠)and other stress-related disorders such as tension headaches , anxiety , and mild depression.
4 However,while aromatherapy may have real effects that promote a sense of well-being,some tradi- tional medicine practitioners remain doubtful about its powers.While research has confirmed that aroma-therapy does have some positive short-term effects on most people,it also suggests that aromatherapy is not an actual science or medicine that should be used to treat illness.Furthermore,not all aromatherapy is considered beneficial to health.There are precautions which should be taken before having aromatherapy because some oils can have negative effects on people with certain medical conditions.The study of aroma-therapy is relatively new and unexplored.More research needs to be conducted to make scientific conclusions about its use and effects.
The sessions of aromatherapy massages are designed to______.
A:have healing effects
B:be used externally
C:be promoted
D:help the disabled
E:be further explored
F:suit different people

答案如下:
D解析:本句的意思是:陌生人的友好或好奇伴我游遍了歐洲、北美、亞洲以及南部非洲。這里是指作者通過搭便車的方式由陌生人帶著前往這些地方,因此選take。 make的意思是“使某人······”,無論是意思還是用法都不適合放在這里。travel意為“旅游”,常用于表示某人去什么地方旅游,例如:He has travelled to many places in the country.他已經游覽了家鄉的許多地方。cross意為“通過,交又”。
on the road意為“在路上”。該句意思是:途中有些讓我搭便車的人和我成為朋友,很多人都曾盛情接待過我。
這句話是通過把搭便車旅行和幾種其他的旅行方式相互比較,從而說明搭便車旅行的好處有哪些。因此這里應選擇when。
根據上下文可知,這里問的是如今hitchhiking的情況如何,而不是books 或者是songs,因此這里應選擇it。
hundreds of是固定用法,意思是“幾百個”,例如hundreds of StudentS。
sky意為“天空”; space意為“空間”; map意為“地圖”; heaven意為“天堂”。該句意思是說伊朗是搭便車旅游者的天堂。
本題為結構銜接題。as在這里引導一個從句。like和for后只能接名詞。 since在這里語意不符合。
general feeling意為“普遍的感受,總體的感覺”。big, large,和little都不可以和feeling搭配。
must和should后不可以跟to,只能接動詞原形。have to后也不可以接to。 只有need to do sth.的用法,意為“需要做某事”。
according to意為“根據”; owing to和due to都是“因為”的意思;with re-spect to意為“關于”。該句意思是“根據一位給我寫電子郵件的波蘭婦女······”。
根據下面一句話中“pick up the most hikers",可以推斷這里填pick up,意思是“開車接某人”。
根據前一句話可以得知是drivers pick up hikers。
fence意為“籬笆”; barrier意為“障礙”; gap意為“差異”; stone意為“石頭”。這里是說打破陌生人之間的障礙。
