1.Text 4American no longer expect public figures, whether in speech or in writing, to command the English language with skill and gift. Nor do they aspire to such command themselves. In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should, Like, Care, John McWhorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, sees the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English.Blaming the permissive 1960s is nothing new, but this is not yet another criticism against the decline in education. Mr. McWhorter’s academic speciality is language history and change, and he sees the gradual disappearance of “whom,” for example, to be natural and no more regrettable than the loss of the case-endings of Old English.But the cult of the authentic and the personal, “doing our own thing,” has spelt the death of formal speech, writing, poetry and music. While even the modestly educated sought an elevated tone when they put pen to paper before the 1960s, even the most well regarded writing since then has sought to capture spoken English on the page. Equally, in poetry, the highly personal, performative genre is the only form. that could claim real liveliness. In both oral and written English, talking is triumphing over speaking, spontaneity over craft.Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both high and low culture, the trend that Mr. McWhorter documents is unmistakable. But it is less clear, to take the question of his subtitle, why we should, like, care. As a linguist, he acknowledges that all varieties of human language, including non-standard ones like Black English, can be powerfully expressive -- there exists no language or dialect in the world that cannot convey complex ideas. He is not arguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do not talk proper.Russians have a deep love for their own language and carry large chunks of memorized poetry in their heads, while Italian politicians tend to elaborate speech that would seem old-fashioned to most English-speakers. Mr. McWhorter acknowledges that formal language is not strictly necessary, and proposes no radical education reforms -- he is really grieving over the loss of something beautiful more than useful. We now take our English “on paper plates instead of china.” A shame, perhaps, but probably an inevitable one.36. According to McWhorter, the decline of formal English ________.[A] is inevitable in radical education reforms[B] is but all too natural in language development[C] has caused the controversy over the counter-culture[D] brought about changes in public attitudes in the 1960s

    Passage One

    Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

    ①Many of today’s most trusted sales techniques were invented over a century ago by a young merchant named Eaton in Toronto.21 When he was young, Eaton worked briefly with his brothers in small-town stores. In 1869, he set up his own shop in downtown Toronto. He had many competitors, but he was also ambitious and had a plan for success. He offered a unique style. of trade, but as was expected, all the other shopkeepers laughed at him, believing he would eventually fail. However, Eaton was not a man to be easily defeated; he came up with(To bring forth or discover ) a brand new notion of business – “Goods satisfactory, or money refunded.(to give back)” He sold all his goods at fixed prices and only for cash.23

    ②With a sharp sense of what the public wanted, he went out of the way(To inconvenience oneself in doing something beyond what is required.不怕麻烦地:超出要求之外做某事而使自己麻烦) to meet their needs. His business grew rapidly. He set up new branches and started mail order service that allowed people to buy from a list of his goods.

    ③Eaton’s list—advertisements of his day—was the first of its kind. It was distributed and read all over the country. It was the only way to access good-quality goods at reasonable prices for people living far away from big cites.25 It became part of their life. They even called it The Wishing Book. The secret of the list’s success was that Eaton gained the respect of these customers22; they trusted him for good prices and quality goods. Probably because he remembered his miserable early days in Ireland, Eaton thought much of the welfare of his employees: better working conditions, shorter weekday(除了周日或者除了周六周日)hours than his competitors and Saturday afternoons off in the summer. In all this, he was a leader.

    21. The best description of Eaton is that ______.

    A. he was the richest merchant in Toronto

    B. he was a successful technical inventor

    C. he introduced new sales practices

    D. he changed people’s ideas about businessmen

    To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your students; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under you control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not move motionless before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanation, and his face to express his feeling. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't mean he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's word and the actor's.

    ADHD Linked to Air Pollutants
    Children have an increased of attention problems,seen as early as grade school,if their no-ses inhaled(吸入)a certain type of air pollution when they were pregnant. That's the finding of a new study.Released when things aren't burned completely,this pollution is known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,or PAHs.The biggest sources of these PAHs:the burning of fossil fuels, wood and trash.
    Frederica Perera works at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York City.She researches how exposure to things in the environment affects children's health.In a new study,she and her team studied the exposure to air pollution of 233 nonsmoking pregnant women in New York City. Because burning tobacco can spew(排放)PAHs into the air and lungs, Perera's team focused on nonsmokers. The researchers wanted to probe(探查)other sources of PAHs,ones that's would have been hard for an individual to avoid.
    The team started by testing the blood of each woman during pregnancy.The reason:Any PAHs in a woman's blood would also be available to the baby in her womb.Nine years later,the researchers investigated signs of attention problems in those children,now age 9 .They asked each child's mother a series of questions.These included whatever her child had problems doing things that needed sustained(长期的)mental effort, such as homework or games with friends. The sci-entists also asked if the kids had trouble following instructions or made frequent,careless mis-takes .All of these can be symptoms of a disorder called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD.About one in U.S.children has ADHD.
    Among the women studied,traffic and home heating were the primary sources of air pollution exposure,Perera and her team suspect. Some of these women had low levels of PAHs in their blood .Others had high levels.Those with high levels were five times as likely to have children who showed attention problems by age 9 .The new findings were published November 5 in the journal PLOS ONE.

    Perera and her team chose nonsmoking pregnant women all over America.
    A: Right
    B: Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据第二段中“In a new study, she and her team studied the exposure to air pollution of 233 nonsmoking pregnant women in New York City.”可知,她们只是在纽约市挑选不吸烟的孕妇,因此题干叙述错误,选B。


    根据第二段“The researchers wanted to probe(探查)other sources of PAHs, ones that's would have been hard for an individual to avoid.”可知,研究的目的是找出除香烟外其他能排放多环芳烃的原料。题干陈述的是所有可以排放多环芳烃的原料,与原文不符。故选B。


    由第二段内容可知,研究者们选择不吸烟的妈妈,是已经知道了香烟可以释放多环芳烃,为了排除香烟对研究结果的影响,而找出其他可以排放多环芳烃的物质。因此题干叙述错误,选B。


    与该题相关的信息在第三段首句,首句只是提到在每个妇女孕期测试她们的血液,但并没有说每月测一次,多久测一次文中并未提到。因此本题选C。


    文章中并未提到患有注意缺陷多动障碍的儿童在学校经常失败,故选C。


    根据最后一段“Those with high levels were five times as likely to have children who showed attention problems by age 9.”可知,血液中多环芳烃含量高的妇女,她们的孩子更有可能患有注意缺陷多动障碍。句子中的attention problems指的就是ADHD。


    文章第一段最后一句“The biggest sources of these PAHs:the burning of fossil fuels, wood and trash.”提出,多环芳烃的最大来源是化石、木材和废物的燃烧。而交通和家庭产热只是研究范围内的最大多环芳烃产生来源。因此题干叙述错误,选B。

    第三篇

    Race Car Drivers

    The men who race the cars are generally small,with a tight,nervous look.They range from the early 20s to the middle 40s,and it is usually their nerves that go first.
    Fear is the driver's constant companion,and tragedy can be just a step behind.Scarcely a man in the 500 does not carry the scars of ancient crashes.The mark of the plastic surgery is everywhere, and burned skin is common. Sometimes a driver's scars are invisible.Two young drivers,Billy Vukovich and Gary Bettenhausen,raced in their first 500 in 1968.Less than 20 years before,their fathers also competed against one another on the Indy track一and died there.
    All this the drivers accept. Over the years,they have learned to trust their own techniques,reflexes,and courage.They depend,too,on a trusted servant一scientific engineering. Though they may not have had a great deal of schooling(an exception is New Zealand's Bruce McLaren,who has an engineering degree),many drivers are gifted mechanics,with a feeling for their engines that amount to kinship.
    A few top drivers have become extremely wealthy,with six-figure incomes from prize money and jobs with auto-product manufacturers.Some have businesses of their own.McLaren designs racing chassis(底盘).Dan Gurney's California factory manufactured the chassis of three of the first four ears in the 1968 Indy 500,including his own second place car.
    Yet money is not the only reason why men race cars.Perhaps it isn't even the major reason. Three-time Indy winner(1961,1964,1967)A.J. Foyt,for example,can frequently be found cornpeting on dirty tracks in minor-league races,where money,crowds and safety features are limited, and only the danger is not. Why does he do it?Sometimes Foyt answers,"It's in my blood."Other times he says,"It's good practice."Now and then he replies,"Don't ask dumb questions."

    The statement"it is usually their nerves that go first"means_______.
    A:at first they all have a nervous look
    B:they often find they can't bear the tension even if they are in good condition
    C:someday they find they can't make responses to any risk
    D:they can continue their career at most until the middle 40s

    答案:B
    解析:
    文章第一段最后一句话的意思是这些赛车手一直会处于紧张状态,以至于他们经常会神经紧张。因此选项B是正确的。
    文章第二段暗示我们车祸往往会伴随汽车起火,并且之后车手要做整形手术。题干问车祸同时伴随什么,因此只有选项D是正确的。
    本文第二段提到两名年轻的赛车手第一次参加印地500比赛,恰巧他们的父辈20年前也参加了比赛,并且在比赛中身亡,这给他们留下了隐形的伤疤。从上下文看,选项A是正确的。
    文章第三段提到大多数赛车手受教育程度不高,唯一的例外是取得工程学学位的Bruce McLaren。因而选项B是正确的。
    文章最后一段以A.J.Foyt为例说明他并不主要是以钱为目的,虽然赛道、观众或安全防护条件不好,他还是会参加乙级比赛。只有选项D的表述正确。

    问答题
    The Oscar is a mere 8-pound, 13 and 1/2-inch statue, coated in layers of copper, silver and 24-karat gold. 1)But it reduces, in that split second when the envelope opens and the world holds its collective breath, even the most respectful celebrity to be an unwilling comedian.  The early ceremonies, in the late 1920s, were held in private. Explaining why they were so low-key, Cary Grant remarked that there is something embarrassing about all these wealthy people congratulating each other. But by 1933, the stage was set for well-dressed celebrities to trip over their own egos. 2) It makes you wonder what .Louis B. Mayer and other founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would say if they, could see what became of the organization they started to further the welfare and protect the honor and good repute of the profession,or so the charter says..  3) But even among the people in the business, there are those who are happy to have their award, even if some mistake sentences them to a lifetime of teasing, and others who probably wish they were home watching the four-hour celebrity get-together on TV, like the rest of us.  4) Director Frank Capra was so certain he would win that he began to rise before Will Rogers finished announcing the winner. He kept saying, “Over here, over here!” because the spotlight was thrown on the other side of the room and he wanted to enjoy his triumph. Capra was even more confused on his way to the Stage when Rogers said, “Come on up and get it, Frank.”  It turned out that the winner was another Frank, Frank Lloyd for Cavalcade. Capra called his return to his seat the longest, saddest, and most shattering walk in his life. Countless others have taken that Oscar night walk of embarrassment. And there are even more funny, if not embarrassing, incidences. Think about Jack Palance dropping to the stage floor and doing one-armed pushups, to celebrate this Best Supporting Actor award or City Slickers?  In 1947, Ronald Reagan narrated a silent montage of past Oscar winners. 5) Much to Reagan's surprise, the crowd was laughing hysterically as he said, “This picture embodies the glories of our past, the memories of our present and the inspiration of our future ”What he didn't know: the reel was upside down.  And comedian Marry Feldman probably was trying too hard to be funny. Presenting the 1976 Oscar, he called the two winning producers to the stage, then threw the statue to the floor, handed a piece of the award to each one. He said, “It said 'made in Hong Kong’ on the bottom.”

    正确答案:
    (1)【答案】(但金像的魔力却很大)在装着获奖者名字的信封开启,全世界屏息注视的一刹那,它甚至能使最受人尊敬的名流情不自禁地变成一个滑稽小丑。
    【解析】句子的主干是it reduces the most respectful celebrity to be an unwilling comedian,句中when引导的定语 从句修饰second。重点与难点:(1)in that split second. . . 是句子的时间状语,意思是“在…的一刹那或一瞬间”。(2)reduces此处是“使人变得卑下,使人降格”之意,celebrity指“名人”。
    (2)【答案】你不禁会想,Louis B Mayer和电影艺术科学院的其他刨始人当初创建这个机构是为了进一步为这一行业谋福利。并保护这一行业的荣誉和良好声望——至少学院章程上是这么说的,如果他们看到这个机构变成了今天这个样子,不知会作何感想。
    【解析】主句是Itmakes you wonder. . . ,what引导的名词从句作wonder的宾语,这一名词从句本身又是一个主从复合句,if引导条件状语从句,而在这一状语从句中,第二个what引导的名词从句作see的宾语。they前面省略that,这是一个定语从句,修饰0rganization,意即“他们创建用来…的这一机构。
    (3)【答案】但即使在圈内人士当中,也有很多人希望他们自己能够获奖,即使他们在领奖时不小心出了洋相,从而一生 都成为别人的笑柄,那也在所不惜。当然还有另外一些人, 他们可能希望和我们一样,能够在家中的电视屏幕上观看这长达四个小时的名流聚会。
    【解析】本句翻译的关键是others一词,要弄清其前后的逻辑关系。整个句式如下:there are those who…and  others who…,even if引导的让步状语从句和who引导的分旬构成一个主从复合句,合起来修饰those;they were home watching the four-hour celebrity get-together on TV作wish的宾语。
    (4)【答案】导演弗兰克·卡普拉确信他会获奖,因此还没等威尔·罗杰斯宣布完毕谁是获奖者,他就站了起来准备去领奖。
    【解析】本句包含so…that…引导的结果状语从句,从句中又含有一个由before引导的时间状语从句。
    (5)【答案】令里根感到诧异万分的是,在他说“这部片子体现着我们过去的荣耀、现在的回忆和未来的启示”时,台下的观众歇斯底里地大笑起来。
    【解析】句中含有直接引语,Much to Reagan’s surprise作状语,as he said是时间状语从句,the glories of our past,the memories of our present and the inspiration of our future是embodies的三个并列宾语。

    根据下面资料,回答
    A proverb from ancient China was widely spread in the West: "If you want to be happy for a few hours, go to get drunk; if you want the happiness to last three years, get married; if you want lifetime happiness, take up gardening." The reason for the last is this: Gardening is not only useful, but it helps you to identify yourself with nature, and thus brings you new joy each day besides improving your health.
    A research of a US university that I′ve read gives a definition of happiness as what makes a person feel comfortably pleased. To put it simply, happiness is an active state of mind where one thinks one′ s life is meaningful, satisfactory and comfortable. This should be something lasting rather than transitory.
    Lots of people regard it the happiest to be at leisure. But according to a study, it is not a person with plenty of leisure but one at work that feels happy, especially those busy with work having little time for leisure. Happiness does not mean gains one is after but a desire to harvest what one is seeking for. People often do not treasure what they already have but desire what they cannot get. That is somewhat like a man with fond dreams of numerous lovers while unwilling to settle down with the woman beside him.
    Happiness is a game balancing between two ends--what one has and what one wishes for, i.e. one′s dream and the possibility to realize it. The study comes to this conclusion: A happy man is one who aims high but never forgets his actual situation; one who meets challenges that develop his ability and potentiality; one who′s proud of his achievements and the recognition given to him. He has self-respect and self-confidence; treasures his own identity and loves freedom. He is sociable and enjoys wide range communication with others; he′s helpful and ready to accept assistance. He knows he is able to bear sufferings and failures; he is sensible enough to get fun from daily work. He is a man capable of love and passion.
    Who is more likely to be unhappy according to the study?

    A.The man who is ambitious regardless of his actual situation.
    B.The one who has self-esteem and has confidence in himself.
    C.The one who can take pleasure in communicating with others.
    D.The one who always helps others and also accepts help from others.

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题。根据文章最后一段内容,幸福的人是既能够树立高远的目标,又不会忘记实际情况的人;幸福的人是自尊、自信的人,他认可自己。并且热爱自由。幸福的人善于社交,并且能够从与其他人进行的广泛交流中得到乐趣;幸福的人热心助人,并且愿意接受别人的帮助。只有A项与文意不符,故选A。

  • 第19题:

    If you are like most people,your intelligence varies from season to season.You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year.A noted scientist,Ellsworth Huntington(1876-1947),concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
    He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat.This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year.It does mean,however,that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
    Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking.One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.
    Fall is the next-best season,then winter.As for summer,it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!

    One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that__.

    A.all nature,including man,is growing then
    B.it lasts longer than the other seasons
    C.it is not too warm and not too cold
    D.both B and C

    答案:A

    问答题
    Practice 2  Talk about fanciful thinking. One might as well ask if there will be a war that will end all wars, or a pill that will make us all good-looking. It is also a perfectly understandable question, given that half a million Americans will die this year of a disorder that is often discussed in terms that make it seem less like a disease than an unconquerable enemy.  What tuberculosis was to the 19th century, cancer is to the 20th: an malevolent force that frightens people beyond all reason far more than, say, diabetes or high blood pressure. The welcome boom in cancer drugs owes its beginning to one of the 20th century’s greatest scientific insights: that cancer is caused not by depression or deteriorating environment or sexual repression, but by faulty genes. Every tumor begins with just one errant cell that has been unlucky enough to suffer at least two, but sometimes several, genetic mutations. Those mutations cause the cell to replicate wildly, allowing it to escape the control that genes normally maintain over the growth of new tissue. This realization has transformed cancer, in little more than a decade, from an utterly mysterious disease into a disorder whose molecular machinery is largely understood. This new view has sparked innovations that will manage the process and keep it from killing large numbers of people.

    说到幻想,也许有人会问,是否会有一场战争可以结束所有的战争,是否有一种药物可以赐予所有人美貌。这个问题完全合乎情理,每年有50万美国人死于一种疾病,人们谈之色变,它不像是疾病,更像是夙敌。
    20世纪的癌症就像19世纪的肺结核,如同一颗隐伏在体内的炸弹,给人们造成的恐惧远远大于糖尿病和高血压。癌症药物的大量出现始于20世纪的一项科学突破——癌症的病因不是心情抑郁、环境恶化、性欲受到压抑等因素,而是基因出错。每个肿瘤的起因都是细胞出错,不幸产生了基因突变,至少是两处,有时是几处。基因突变使细胞大量复制,使基因失去掌控能力,而正常情况下,基因会控制新组织的生长。十年不到,这种观点就彻底改变了癌症,癌症不再是无法攻克的疾病,只是一种机体的紊乱,而这种紊乱产生的分子机制已经破解。这种新观点促进了各种新方法的产生,使基因突变得可以控制,使许多癌症患者绝处逢生。
