The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downherated. Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin. ‎ One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted. ‎ The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted,”The war is over. ”For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer. ‎ ‎51. What the grandfather was most worried about was . ‎ A. the spread of the world war ‎ B. the safety of his living two cousins ‎ C. a drop in his living standards ‎ D. his relatives killing each other ‎ ‎52. The underlined phrase “draft notice” means “ “ ‎ A. order for army service ‎ B. train ticket for Europe ‎ C. letter of rejection ‎ D. note of warning ‎ ‎53. What did the “service pins”（in Para. 2）stand for in the dyes of the little girls? ‎ A. Strength. ‎ B. Courage. ‎ C. Victory. ‎ D. Honor. ‎ ‎54. Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story? ‎ A. Disappointing. ‎ B. Unexpected. ‎ C. Uncertain. ‎ D. Inspiring. ‎ B ‎ Three years ago, five parrots were set free in a wild place of Arizona, thousands of miles from the Channel Islands in Jersey sher they had been looked after by zookeepers. No evolutionary strategies informed them how to behave in this new Landscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their king for 50 years. To the researchers’ surprise, they failed to make contact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time. Within 24 hours the reintroducing ended in failure, and the poor birds were back in cages, on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme. ‎ Ever since then, the programme has enjoyed great success, mainly because the birds now being set free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild, confiscated （没收） on arrival north of the border, and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme. The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and psychology（心理） of parrots, as Peter Bennett, a bird researcher, points out:” Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult. People like parrots, always treating them as nothing more than pers or valuable ‘collectables’. ” ‎ Now that many species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out, biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds. Last year was an important turning point: conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust, based at Hayle in Cornwall, to support research into both wild and caged birds. ‎ Research on parrots is vital for two reasons. Forest, as the Arizona programme showed, when ‎ reintroducing parrots to the wild, we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural home. We also need to learn more about the needs of parrots keot as pets, particularly as the Trust’s campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice, but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans. ‎ ‎55. What do we know about the area where the five parrots were reintroduced? ‎ A. Its landscape is new to parrots of their king. ‎ B. It used to be home to parrots of their kind. ‎ C. It is close to where they had been kept. ‎ D. Pine trees were planted to attract birds. ‎ ‎56. The reintroducing experience three years ago shows that man-raised parrots ______. ‎ A. can find their way back home in Jersey ‎ B. are unable to recognize their parents ‎ C. are unable to adapt to the wild ‎ D. can produce a new species ‎ ‎57. Why are researches on parrots important according to the passage? ‎ A. The Trust shows great concern for the programme. ‎ B. We need to knows more about how to preserve parrots ‎ C. Many people are interested in collecting parrots. ‎ D. Parrots’ intelligence may some day benefit people. ‎ ‎58. According to the passage, people are advised_______. ‎ A. to treat wild and caged parrots equally ‎ B to set up comfortable homes for parrots ‎ C. not to keep wild parrots as pets ‎ D. not to let more parrots go to the wild ‎ C ‎ When I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices（装置）tell the time—which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down ‎ since 2007. ‎ But while the wise have realized that they don’t need them, others—apparently including some distinguished men of our time—are spending total fortunes on them. Brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breitling command shocking prices, up to £250.000 for a piece. ‎ This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions—but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things? ‎ If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family; a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world. ‎ Watches are now classified as “investments”（投资）. A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly? £350, 000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from? 15, 000 to? 30, 000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up-—they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when of fashion. Prices may keep going up—they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that? £350, 000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Times. ‎ ‎59 The sales of watches to young people have fallen because they__________. ‎ A. have other devices to tell the time ‎ B. think watches too expensive ‎ C. prefer to wear an iPod ‎ D. hame no sense of time ‎ ‎60. It seems ridiculous to the writer that_______________. ‎ A. people dive 300 metres into the sea ‎ B. expensive clothes sell better than cheap ones ‎ C. cheap cars don’t run as fast as expensive ones ‎ D. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell ‎ ‎61. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage? ‎ A. It targets rich people as its potential customers. ‎ B. It’s hard for the industry to beat its competitors. ‎ C. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising. ‎ D. It’s easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches. ‎ ‎62. Which would be the best title for the passage? ‎ A. Timex or Rolex? ‎ B. My Childhood Timex ‎ C. Watches? Mot for Me! ‎ D. Watches—a Valuable Collection ‎ D ‎ A few years ago, Paul Gerner began to gather a group of architects in Las vegas to ask them what it would take to design a public school that used 50 percent less energy, cost much less to build and obviously improved student learning . ”I think half of then fell off their chairs,” Gerner says. ‎ Gerner manages school facilities （设施）for Clark county, Nevada, a district roughly the size of Massachusetts. By 2018, 143, 000 additional students will enter the already crowded public-education system. Gerner needs 73 new schools to house them. Four architecture teams have nearly finished designing primary school prototypes （样品） ; They plan to construct their schools starting in 2009. The district will then assess how well the schools perform, and three winners will copy those designs in 50 to 70 new buildings. ‎ Green schools are appearing all over , but in Clark County, which stands out for its vastness, such aggressive targets are difficult because design requirements like more natural light for students go against the realities of a desert climate. ”One of the biggest challenges is getting the right site orientation（朝向）, ” Mark McGinty, a director at SH Architecture, says. His firm recently completed a high school in Las Vegas. “You have the same building, same set of windows, but if its orientation is incorrect and it faces the sun, it will be really expensive to cool.” ‎ Surprisingly, the man responsible for one of re most progressive green-design competitions has doubts about ideas of eco-friendly buildings. ”I don’t believe in the new green religion,” Gerner says. ”Gerner says.”Some of the building technologies that you get are impractical. I’m interested in those that work. ”But he wouldn’t mind if some green features inspire students. He says he hopes to set up green energy systems that ‎ allow them to learn about the process of harvesting wind and solar power. ”You never know what’s going to start the interest of a child to study math and science,”he says. ‎ ‎63．How did the architects react to Garner’s design requirements? ‎ A. They lost balance in excitement. ‎ B. they showed strong disbelief. ‎ C. they expressed little interest. ‎ D. they burst into cheers. ‎ ‎64．Which order of steps is followed in carrying out the project? ‎ A. Assessment－Prototype－Design－Construction. ‎ B. Assessment－Design－Prototype－Construction. ‎ C. Design－Assessment－Prototype－Construction. ‎ D. Design－Prototype－Assessment－Construction. ‎ ‎65．What makes it difficult to build green schools in Clark County? ‎ A. The large size. ‎ B. Limited facilities. ‎ C. The desert climate. ‎ D. Poor natural resources. ‎ ‎66．What does Gerner think of the ideas of green schools? ‎ A. They are questionable. ‎ B. They are out of date. ‎ C. They are advanced. ‎ D. They are practical. ‎ E ‎ Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be, Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant （不相关的）. A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time, Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear. ‎ The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does , It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should ‎ strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible” is often debated, How should we , as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other? ‎ These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years—but unless we meet the truant officer （学监） , we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working.”but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes（构成） “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. , When we turn the clock forward to start daylight—saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves; “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law—as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work , time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess. ‎ ‎67. By saying” Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that __________. ‎ A. work time is equal to rest time ‎ B. many people have a day off on Monday, ‎ C. it is hard for people to decide when to rest ‎ D. the line between work time and rest time is unclear ‎ ‎68. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people____. ‎ A. fail to make full use of their time ‎ B. enjoy working overtime for extra pay ‎ C. are unaware of the law of time ‎ D. welcome flexible working hours ‎ ‎69. According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they_____. ‎ A. need to acquire knowledge ‎ B. have to obey their parents ‎ C. need to find companions ‎ D. have to observe the law ‎ ‎70. What is the main idea of the passage? ‎ A. Our life is governed by the law of time ‎ B. How to organize time is not worth debating. ‎ C. New ways of using time change our society. ‎ D. Our time schedule is decided by social customs ‎ 第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分40分） ‎ 第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分） ‎ 阅读下列各小题，根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。‎ 例：We______（起床）before dawn, It was still dark outside. （get） ‎ 答案:got up ‎71. ______（多亏了）her assistance , we succeeded in starting the engine. （turn） ‎ ‎72.

Tom, ‎ Nice to read your e-mail today. I notice you’ve begun to use Chinese idioms and used most of them correctly. ‎ However, I’m afraid there is one mistake I’d like to point out. It is “无所不为”. This idiom means “do all kinds of bad things”. Are you doing all kinds of bad things at home? I guess what you were really trying to say is that you’ve got nothing to do these days. In that case, you should use “无所事事”. We usually use “无所事事” to express the idea that people dare to do anything bad, and “无所事事” to describe the situation in which people have got nothing meaningful to do. Have I made myself clear? ‎ Anyway, I’m amazed at the progress you’ve made. ‎ Hope you’ll find a job soon. ‎ Huahua ‎2012年成考专升本英语真题试题及答案 I.

Reading comprehension (60 points )‎ ‎　　Directions: There are five reading passages in this each passage is followed by four questions. For each questions there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.‎ ‎　　Passage One ‎　　For generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice.‎ What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions?‎ ‎　　But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean the rainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists (气象学家).‎ ‎　　“Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle climate change.”‎ ‎　　Now a British-Canadian project is doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation.‎ ‎　　Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “ I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,” says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project.‎ ‎　　‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,” says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi.‎ ‎　　“Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project.‎ ‎　　36. Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?‎ ‎　　A.Plant seeds B.Dog harks C.Bird songs D.Ocean currents ‎　　37. What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions?‎ they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists ‎　　A. They cannot find an effective way to deliver messages.‎ ‎　　B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change.‎ ‎　　C. They cannot get financial support from the local government.‎ ‎　　D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing.‎ ‎　　38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their cooperation?‎ ‎　　A. Satisfied B.Confused C. Hopeful D.Regretful ‎　　39. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?‎ ‎　　A. A British-Canadian project has been carried out to solve farming problems.‎ ‎　　B. The Nganyi people have made weather forecasts by observing changes in nature.‎ ‎　　C. New technologies have replaced traditional methods in weather prediction in Kenya.‎ D. Scientists and Kenyan rainmakers work together in a joint weather prediction project.‎ Passage Two ‎　　After taking a six-week, fully paid maternity leave (产假) earlier this year, Francine Gemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter, Veronika. Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office.‎ ‎　　“If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,” says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born.‎ ‎　　She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analyst Jon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, when West considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks.‎ ‎　　“I had pressure to take that leave,” recalls West, “People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.”‎ ‎　　“No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction (分心的事),”says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film.‎ ‎　　No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode.‎ ‎　　As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment. The firm once laid off five workers and it is now considering 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs.‎ ‎　　40. Which of the following is true about Maya Design?‎ ‎　　A. It hires women with families.‎ ‎　　B. It has some overseas branches.‎ ‎　　C. It provide consulting services.‎ ‎　　D. It encourages the staff to work at home.‎ ‎　　41. What is Tory Johnson’s responsibility according to the passage?‎ ‎　　A. Taking on women employees. B. Dealing with women’s complaints ‎　　C. Dismissing unqualified women staff D. Taking care of women staff welfare ‎　　42. What is the advantage of Maya’s policy according to Mickey McManus?‎ ‎　　A. It cuts down the management cost. B. It increases staff loyalty to the film ‎　　C. It keeps a balance between work and life. D. It promotes equality un employment.‎ ‎　　43. Which of these would be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎　　A. A Flexible Working Schedule ‎　　B. A staff shortage in Maya Design ‎　　C. A Pittsburgh-based Working Place ‎　　D. A Company Taking Care of Young Parents ‎　　Passage Three ‎　　Harry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owls are, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists.‎ ‎　　Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish.‎ ‎　　Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes including tundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds (繁殖地) are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia.‎ ‎　　Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both genders will also perform an “injured bird” act to tempt animal invaders to go away from the nest.‎ ‎　　Reproduction: Snowy owls may incubate (孵卵) 3-10 eggs for 30-34 days, or the incubation may be done primarily by the freak. The baby owls remain in the nest for 14-21 days and will attempt their first flight when they are 42-58 days old. Mated pairs will raise one group of young birds per year unless food supplies are inadequate and then no eggs may be produced.‎ ‎　　44、What have you learned from Paragraph 1?‎ ‎　　A. Harry Potter fans like snowy owls ‎　　B. Hedwig is one of the snowy owl watchers ‎　　C. The snowy owl is a large bird with white feathers ‎　　D. It is easy to find snowy owls in snow covered areas ‎　　45、What does Paragraph 3 tell about snowy owls?‎ ‎　　A. The can be found in Asia and Europe ‎　　B. They live in groups in hard winter days ‎　　C. Their breeding grounds are in areas south to Canada ‎　　D. They appear in the Artic when food supplies are scarce ‎　　46、For snowy owls, one way to defend their nest is _____‎ ‎　　A. to stand on a rock nearby B. to pretend to have been injured ‎　　C. to spread their wings D. to give a warning ‎　　47、What will snowy owls probably do when food is insufficient?‎ ‎　　A. They may stop producing eggs B. They will reduce their flights ‎　　C. They will be less active at night D. They will only hunt during he day Passage Four ‎　　We lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.‎ ‎　　There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles, which were first criticized by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.‎ ‎　　Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third now. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage.‎ ‎　　The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life Crosby’s music was soothing( 令人舒畅的) , Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbance they could handle in their private lives, they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.‎ ‎　　Crosby’s admires always said how “relaxed” and “natural” he was. When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of trouble times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley was load and vulgar( 粗俗的) —— and be was bringing something new and exciting.‎ ‎　　It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing.‎ ‎　　48、Which of the following could be inferred about Crosby and Presley?‎ ‎　　A. They died in the same year.‎ ‎　　B. They became popular in 1977‎ ‎　　C. They influenced each other in music ‎　　D. They represented the postwar generation ‎　　49、 In which aspect the singers are similar to each other?‎ ‎　　A. Their songs were widely used in movies ‎　　B. They became famous in late year of their lives ‎　　C. Their musical styles are recognized by the critics ‎　　D. Neither of them received any formal musical education ‎　　50、What did Crosby’s audiences get from his music?‎ ‎　　A. Excitement B. Disturbance C. Ease and comfort D. Passion and thrill ‎　　51、What is most Presley to be discussed if the passage continues?‎ ‎　　A. The political situation that the two singers faced ‎　　B. The cultural changes that the two singers experienced ‎　　C. The economic influence on the music of the two singers ‎　　D. The message that the two singers expressed in their music ‎　　Passage Five ‎　　There are millions of left-handed people in the world. A number of them got together in 1975 to form an association called Left-handers International. The purpose of the organization is to fight discrimination (particularly to jobs) and to inform the public. They want everybody to understand the left-handers are neither “strange” nor sick nor dangerous.‎ ‎　　Many studies have been made recently about hand preference in humans. They have brought interesting results. It has been found, for instance, that many more men than women are left-handed; that all children use both hands about equally until they are three years old; and that hand preference is not clearly marked until age six. Above that age, most people not only favour one particular hand but also have a favourite eye, a favourite ear and foot.‎ ‎　　We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, which seems that this particular half is the seat of emotions, imagination, and of the sense of space. And, indeed, lefties in seem to be more creative than the right-handers; they also seem to be more athletic and to do better in some ‎ professions which ---like sports----require a good sense of space. In a large school of architecture , it was found in 1977 that 29% of the professes and 23% of the graduating students were left-handed---while lefties represent less than 10% of the general population.‎ ‎　　Finally, left-handers may be more stubborn and impulsive( 冲动的) than right-handers. And they are more likely to suffer from problems such as stuttering( 口吃) and a difficulty in reading called dyslexia. The problems are more serious in left-handed persons who have been forced to favour their right hand. Doctors insist that one should never try to change a child’s hand preference.‎ ‎　　52、What does Left-handers International aim to do for left-handers?‎ ‎　　A. To create new jobs B. To promote equality ‎　　C. To show discrimination D. To study hand preference ‎　　53、According to recent studies, when is hand preference formed?‎ ‎　　A. Before birth B. At birth ‎　　C. At age three D. At age six ‎　　54、Compared with right-handers, left-handers______‎ ‎　　A. are less creative B. are more easygoing ‎　　C. have a better sense of space D. do better in most professions ‎　　55、Left-handers are advised to stick to their hand preference because_____‎ ‎　　A. it is fun and comfortable to be left-handers ‎　　B. the left hand is just as good as the right hand ‎　　C. it is difficult for them to switch to the right hand ‎　　D. changing hand preference may cause serious problems ‎　　V.

doing sth忍不住做某事； can not help (to)do sth不能帮助做某事。请你密切注意前面一个短语的help就不是其本来意义，后面一个短语才是help的本来意义，不定式的to可以省略。所以这就是出题人经常考察的高频语言点。根据题干句子大意，我们知道此处应该填入ING形式，不打“情不自禁、忍不住”的意思。答案是C。‎ 再者根据“连词 = ‎ 谓语个数—1”空格处填入的是动词不能用来作谓语了，需要的是动词的非谓语。A选项是一定用来做谓语的，当然排除；B选项可能是动词的过去式，但是与与语言环境是不符合的，也可能是非谓语的过去分词，也很明显不符合题意，排除。‎ ‎7、解析：很明显出题人考察的是情态动词表达推测的语法知识，尤其记住，对过去的推测是“情态动词+ have done”的结构，对其余语言环境的推测是“情态动词+ 动词原型”。所以此类题目的关键是分清楚语言环境。‎ 根据题干句子大意，他“在说话之前”应该已经到达一会了，所以是对“过去”的推测，排除A与B；should是“按道理应该”之意，所以答案是D。‎ ‎8、解析：词汇量的问题了。题干句子大意告诉我们说话者已经找到了工作，只是权衡接不接受的问题。所以答案是A，take。‎ 没有工作才去find，运气好的话，叫做find out；search与search for的区别，search后面家的是“地点”，而search for后面加的是“search的具体的东西”。‎ 例如：We searched the whole forest （地点）for the girl.（search的目标）。He searched his ‎ pockets（地点）, but found nothing。‎ ‎ 9、解析：“看着信封”与“认出笔迹”两个动作应该是几乎同时发生的，所以答案是B。‎ ‎10、解析：请你密切注意语言环境。空格处前面的this time ‎ tomorrow，表明语言环境是“将来”，而非过去将来，所以答案是D。sit这个动作明天这个时候在“持续”，所以是sit的ing形式。‎ ‎11、解析：告诉你，几个形容词修饰一个名词时，那个与名词关系最密切（反应名词内在品质）的形容词，应该离名词最近，musical是说明instrument“内在品质”的，所以它应该离instrument最近，排除A与B选项；Hawaiian与small比较起来，当然是Hawaiian与instrument亲近一些，所以答案是D。‎ ‎12、解析：与cheap有关的选项当然是C，bargain。答案是C。‎ ‎13、解析：出题人考察我们的非谓语。请你千万千万注意lost“迷路”，与我们的中文是一样的，“迷路”是应该被动的动作，例如：我迷路了，“迷路”动作不是“我”发出的。所以是一被动的动作。‎ 题干句子的he不能发出lose的动作，所以应该用lose的过去分词来表达。答案是C。‎ ‎14、解析：理清楚句子结构，后面其实是一感叹句，做imagine的宾语（宾语从句）。而感叹句是对foolishly（副词），进行感叹，所以应该是找how引导感叹句的。所以答案是A。‎ ‎15、解析：出题人可以说是煞费苦心了。因为我们对change的短语是非常熟悉的了，所以可能有些人就会不假思索就填入了D选项了。Change into ‎ 的change sth into ‎ sth（把某东西变成了某东西，物质的品质都发生了改变）。To的意思是“动作的方向”，频道朝九频道去。就像翻书一样从低页数to高页数。答案是C。‎ ‎16、解析：如果你的语法知识足够的熟悉，此题目也就是给你送分了。Employees与pay 很明显是被动语态的关系，而选项中之意B选项是被动语态。答案是B。‎ D选项的paid只有表达“完成”的意思，而没有被动语态的意思。请你不要混淆喔。‎ ‎17、解析：never按照正常中文语序是不能呆在句首的，所以句子实行了倒装，既然如此我们把它还原，那么句子结构就明明白白了：The ‎ weather_______never been so bad in October。所以答案是C，has been so bad。‎ ‎18、解析：很明显前后句子是转折关系，空格处需要的是连词。答案是A。‎ Therefore（不是一连词，是一副词，表达因果。）；moreover（同样不是一连词，而且、此外）；furthermore（同样不是一连词，此外、而且）‎ ‎19、解析：出题人考察情态动词语意的区别。get it go again ‎ 是一势在必行的动作，否则，tomorrow会迟到。所以这一动作是“必须”的，答案是D。‎ ‎20、解析：他对“how old”是非常的_______，利用我们娴熟的中文，空格处填入的词语就明明白白了：敏感。答案是A。‎ 第三部分：完形填空 ‎21、解析：sports不但能够强身健体，而且还能够______life ‎ skills。利用我们娴熟的中文，空格处填入的词语就明明白白清清楚楚了：培养、养成。与之匹配的选项是B，develop“发展、养成”。‎ Stimulate“刺激、鼓舞”；motivate“刺激，激励”；create“创造、创作（精神食物）”。‎ 看出来没有，A与C选项的意思几乎一模一样的，当然排除。‎ ‎22、解析：learning to______with loss and ‎ disappointment。学会______得与失。利用我们娴熟的中文，空格处填入：处理（与with一起构成）。答案是A，deal。‎ Struggle with与…..做斗争；disagree with不同意。‎ ‎23、解析：利用我们做题的经验，我们应该能够很快明白出题人的出题意图：specifically“特别地、专门地”，especially“特别、尤其”的区别。Especially是“与众不同地”，specially表达目的之类。例如：foods ‎ are very cheap today , especially eggs.。eggs与众不同的cheap；special 常用的是： ‎ 商场东西降价时，会被贴上special的标签； 如： I made a special food for you（为你而special，目的吧）. a ‎ special hospital 专门医院 specialist 就是专家的意思。‎ 题干句子大意是这些好处是“与众不同的”。答案是C。‎ ‎24、解析：confidence（信心） and self-esteem（自尊）______from a ‎ ‎……利用一点点语法知识空格处填入的是一不及物动词。利用我们娴熟的中文，空格处填入的词语应该是“增强、提高”。排除D选项。其余三个选项都有“提高之意”。它们的区别就是出题人的出题意图。‎ Arise是一不及物动词，raise是一及物动词，lift是把具体的东西“升高”，例如电梯之类的“提高”。所以答案是A。‎ ‎25、解析：sports帮助孩子的healthy这是一乡村老太太都明明白白的概念，普通得不能再普通了。答案是D，regular。‎ ‎26、解析：利用我们娴熟的中文，和宝贵的常识储备，空格处填入“保持”。答案是C。‎ Rretain保留；reserve储备；prevent预防。‎ ‎27、解析：see….as….把…..看作…..。题外话：看着孩子矫健的身躯驰骋在运动场上，那个美滋滋的劲儿甭提多受用了。此处用一比喻句把body比作了驰骋运动场的tool。的确，身体就是博取人生的一tool，病怏怏的body，那么你的tool就需要sports了。答案是B。‎ ‎28、解析：好身体就能够less 遭遇“feeling of low self-worth”的可能性。答案是A，likely。其余选项不符合题意。‎ ‎29、解析：参加sports，其实就是一“in”的过程。Pparticipate in本身就是一固定搭配“参加”。‎ ‎30、解析：利用我们娴熟的中文，空格处填入“实现”（实现goal目标）。选项中之意D选项符合题意。答案是D。‎ ‎31、解析：利用我们娴熟的中文，空格处填入“能够”。能够建立信心。Bbe able to do sth“是指有能力去做某事”。答案是A。‎ Able与Capable的区别：词义上：able尤其指某一时之“能力”；capable指的是一持久性的能力，另外尤其指某一专门的能力。搭配：able后面接to ‎ do ，而capable接of介词。例如：she is an able teacher.(能干，但是不知道是不是专业方面)。she is an capable ‎ teacher.(专业胜任)。‎ ‎32、解析：winning不仅仅是唯一的confidence builder，一个_____pass or ‎ assistant…..这里退一步来说，即使这样一个_____的及格或助手，所以利用我们娴熟的中文，空格处填入的就是“出色的”。答案是C。‎ ‎33、解析：sports能够有抗抑郁的效果。下面就举例说明了，说明这是已经被证明了的。答案是D，“显示出”。‎ ‎34、解析：承上启下，sports抗抑郁，那么孩子就不抑郁了，对生活充满了憧憬，与之匹配的选项是B，outlook“向外看→外面的世界很精彩→展望”。‎ ‎35、解析：反过来improved self—esteem“促进”了后面的“运动与学业表现”。答案是C。‎ 第三部分：阅读理解 第一篇 ‎36、解析：带着题干关键词：traditional rainmakers,一目一行定位答案范围：第一段第一个破折号后面。原文中只提及了C选项。答案是C。‎ ‎37、解析：一目一行定位答案范围：第二段最后。他们没有只有气象学家才能够available的technology。与之匹配的选项是B。答案是B。‎ ‎38、解析：带着题干关键词，Britain—Canadian，一目一行定位答案范围：第五段的第一句话中pleased（高兴的）。所以答案是A。‎ ‎39、解析：请你充分利用前面题目提供的信息来完成此类题目。36小题说传统的造雨的人的落后，只是简单地凭大自然的东西去判断是否下雨；后面还说没有气象学家的技术。38小题提及了合作。所以重点是“合作”。答案是D。‎ 第二篇 ‎40、解析：Maya(玛雅)，此词语应该您至少见过，玛雅文明。带着题干关键词Maya，一目一行定位答案范围：第一段最后。原文中就出现了C选项中的consulting“咨询”的关键词。答案是C。‎ ‎41、解析：带着题干关键词tory,一目一行定位答案范围：第五段。千万千万注意我们的阅读是一目一行的，比如此题目的阅读跨度就比较大了，到了第五段。很明显答案是A。‎ ‎42、解析：带着题干关键词，maya的policy，或者Mickey，一目一行定位答案范围：第六段。定位句是：builds loyalty和 help ‎ parents shift back into work mode。与之匹配的选项是B。答案是B。‎ ‎43、解析：充分利用前面题目提供的信息，41小题说对家庭提供“咨询服务”；42小题说引导父母转换工作方式。再结合第一段的信息（产假后，对孩子不放心），于是就此结束了后面的事情。答案是D。‎ ‎44、解析：哈利波特，比较熟悉吧。否则原文中猎取答案信息。第一段第一句话的snowy owl，和第二句话的white feathers，于是就能够确定答案是C。‎ ‎ 第三篇 ‎45、解析：第三段，一目一行。最后一句话。B选项似乎可以，但是第二句话就告诉了我们，它们也是往南迁移的，说明它们也不是固定生活在一个地方的，排除；它们的繁殖地是Arctic tundra，所以也可排除；同样D选项排除。答案是A。‎ 此题目容易错误选择B选项。‎ ‎46、解析：保护自己的方法是______。带着题干大意，一目一行定位答案范围：第四段最后。答案是B。‎ ‎47、解析：四个选项都有可能。原文中一目一行猎取答案信息。第四段最后一句话：除非食物短缺，否则它们是要繁殖后代，产蛋。与之匹配的选项是A。‎ ‎48、解析：带着题干关键词：后面的名字Grosby、presley，一目一行定位答案范围：第一段第一句话。这两个家伙都在1977年lost了。于是这一句话就给了我们选项A的信息。答案是A。‎ B 选项与第一句话是互相矛盾的，排除；C选项与第二句话矛盾，D选项中最关键的词语postwar没有体现出来，即使最大努力的去infer，也是没有这方面的信息的。‎ 第四篇 ‎49、解析：两个家伙的相似处。带着题干关键词，一目一行定位答案范围：第二段第三句话。答案是D。没有接受一点点music education，难得怪，人们是如此惊呼。‎ ‎50、解析：此题目我们可以充分利用我们宝贵的常识储备，从一个歌手，且是那么令人怀念的歌手，听到的绝对是“积极的”，所以选择一褒义词。Disturbance是不可能的，选项B排除；thrill“太夸张了，夸张得几乎是一贬义词了”，所以也可以不考虑。剩下两个选项，我们原文中猎取答案信息。第四段的第二句话：became relaxed and easygoing。所以与之匹配的选项是C。‎ ‎51、解析：此类题目比较少见，请你咨询阅读最后一自然段的最后一句话。最后一句话讲述了“文化also改变”，所以接下来当然是继续“文化改变”。答案是B。‎ 第五篇 ‎52、解析：对于这个lefthanders international（我们权且叫“左撇子国际”吧，应该是一国际性的组织吧），他们成立 ‎ ‎“左撇子国际”的目的，应该是不那么简单的。据此与之匹配的选项是B。‎ ‎ ‎ 认证答案：带着题干关键词“左撇子国际”，一目一行定位答案范围：第一段最后一句话：他们不是另类（strange），他们不是sick，与右撇子是一模一样的。所以他们昭示的“与右撇子平等”equality，所以答案是B。‎ ‎53、解析：可以充分利用我们宝贵常识储备，hand ‎ preference“手的喜好”，即左撇子与右撇子。是不可能在A与B就有了的，三岁时也是不可能的。答案是D。‎ 没有必要去认证答案了吧。‎ ‎54、解析：一目一行定位答案范围：第三段第二句话。答案是C。‎ ‎55、解析：利用我们宝贵的常识储备，和前面题目提供的信息，说明左撇子某种程度上说，应该多少是一缺陷。所以A选项就莫名其妙了。B选项既然是一样好，为什么左撇子受到歧视？差别还是大大的。C选项的立意没有多少“水准”。答案是D。‎ 认证答案：最后一自然段的最后两句话。答案就明明白白了。答案是D。‎

After that, you need to plug it in and recharge the battery.‎ ‎ Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They are also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours.

We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same question in advance of a trip. So here I will give you some travel tips.‎ What should I wear?‎ ‎ If you are lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it --the desert gets chilly at night.. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack as if you are going to phoenix or Vegas in August. For the ladies bathing suits are normal if there’s a pool where you’re going, but leave the string bikini at home --it is a Muslim country, after all. Last, if you’re planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbows, and no shorts for men or women in those areas.‎ What special things do I need to pack?‎ ‎ One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head, and your body temperature will feel like it’s dropped 10 to 15 degrees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra batteries.‎ How do I communicate with home?‎ ‎ Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it----AT&T and sprint both work internationally for sure, but may sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most people these days a cell phone is fine.‎ What medical preparation do I need? ‎ ‎ In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called “Pharoah’s Revenge” The thing that knocks out Pharoah’s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine ,and is available at every drugstore for $ 1 a box. DON’T drink local water, DO drink bottled water, avoid the skins of fresh vegetables, and you will ‎ be fine.‎ 44. What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?‎ A. string bikinis B. Long-sleeve closes C. Bathing suits D. Shorts 45. What’s the use of an Evian Mister?‎ A. to relieve your thirst B. To prevent sunburns C. To cool yourself down D. To drive away insects 46. What information is provided about distance communication?‎ A. A cell phone is enough for most people.‎ B. AT&T and sprint offer free service in Egypt.‎ C. A satellite phone does not work in Mid-Egypt.‎ D. Internet cafes are only available in big cities.‎ 47. What does “Pharoah’s Revenge” probably refer to in the last paragraph?‎ A. A curse B. A legend C. Disease ‎ D. Vegetable ‎ 缺 passage four ‎49. Which word best describe the homeless man?‎ A. Angry B. Untidy C. Sensitive D. Impolite ‎50. Why did Robby go back to the hot dog seller?‎ A.

What is the theme of this passage?‎ A. The rich should help the poor B. One good turn deserves another C. Kindness is the greatest wisdom D. A kindness shown, a kindness sown ‎ Passage Five ‎ Whatever you do, don’t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game.‎ ‎ In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen where the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares. The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been, in order from 1 to 9.People can do it. But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp. For almost five years Ayumu remains undefeated.‎ ‎ Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp’s ability. Humphrey suspects Ayumu’s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors. This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glow after the numbers disappears. Then, instead of remembering the numbers, he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number.‎ ‎ The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia. Humans with synesthesia may associate numbers and letters with colors. For example, a person may see the number “5” as the color blue. Until now, scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia.‎ ‎ Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference. There, he heard a presentation about Ayumu’s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia. He then put the two ideas together.‎ ‎ Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct. Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan has spent decades studying the amazing memories of chimpanzees, including Ayumu. He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall than people.‎ 52. What is Ayumu famous for?‎ A. His gift in playing computers.‎ B. His talent in calculating numbers.‎ C. His skill in tapping the numbered squares.‎ D. His amazing performance in memory game.‎ 53. Which of the following is true of Nicholas Humphrey?‎ A. He thinks Ayumu has an amazing memory.‎ B. He believes that Ayumu sees the colors of numbers.‎ C. He was inspired by Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa.‎ D. He delivered a speech on synesthesia at the 2011conference.‎ 54. Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for his idea?‎ A. From an experiment ‎ B. From a conference C. From a research on chimpanzees D. From the color blue 55. How does Tetsuro Matsuzawa explain Ayumu’s performance in the game?‎ A. Ayumu uses synesthesia.‎ B. Ayumu is cleverer than most chimps.‎ C. Chimps recall things faster than people.‎ D. Chimps are good at dealing with number.‎ E.

Nancy thought I had said I would meet her at the department store at 2:30 when I really said 2:00.Then she thought we would meet at the main entrance in front when I really said at the east entrance on the Twelfth Street.‎ Mary:_58_ B ?‎ Susan: Yes! _59_ C I had given up waiting and went inside the women’s clothing department.

Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics (镶嵌图案) .Seven of Ravenna?s eight buildings from the 5th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decorated with ‎ examples of this ancient art.”“In the past, many people couldn?t read or write,”says tour guide and Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli.“Mosaics were a way to explain the religion and the political situation the people.”‎ Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists, listen to musicians, and learn to make their own masterpieces.‎ Travel Tips When to Go: June-October; weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with school groups.‎ Where to Stay: Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modern Hotel Centrale Byron.‎ How to Get Around: Take the train from Bologna, and then walk ,bike, or use taxis within the city.‎ Where to Eat or Drink: Housed in a dormer movie theater, two-story Ristorante Cinema Alexander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service (helpful in translating the menu).For fresh seafood, try Osteria L’ Accigua and Da Buco.‎ What to Buy: Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporary and traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantine forefathers.‎ What to Read Before You Go :Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis (2010).provides a wide-ranging look at the city’s art, architecture, and history.‎ ‎36.In ancient times, mosaics were used to ________ .‎ A.display artistic achievements B.compete with Roman paintings C.explain religion and polities D.teach reading and writing ‎37.Lots of schoolchildren visit historic sites such as Ravenna in ______ .‎ A.May B.June D.October C.September ‎38.If you want to try fresh seafood, you should go to _____ .‎ A.Emilia Romagna B.Hotel Centrale Byron C.Ristorante Cinema Alexander D.Osteria L?Accigua and Da Buco ‎39.why is :Ravenna in Late Antiquity recommended in this passage?‎ A.Because it was written by a famous writer.‎ B.Because tourists get to learn a lot about the city from it.‎ C.Because tourists can get valuable tips for buying art pieces.‎ D.Because it provides useful information about the city?s weather.‎ Passage Two When you pat your pet dog, he wags (摆来摆去）his tail.
