B 第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)‎ 第一节　(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 ‎ A Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can't make us tired. It sounds absurd. But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (疲劳)．To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins(毒素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day. ‎ So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?‎ Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional (情感的) attitudes. One of England's most outstanding scientists，J.‎ 21‎ ‎ A. Hadfield，says，“The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare. ” Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist，goes even further. He declares，“One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems. ”‎ What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy？Satisfaction？No！A feeling of being bored，anger，anxiety，tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated—those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项惊人的发现：脑力工作本身不会使人感到疲劳。‎ ‎21．What surprised the scientists a few years ago?‎ A．Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood. ‎ B．Albert Einstein didn't feel worn out after a day's work. ‎ C．The brain could work for many hours without fatigue. ‎ D．A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins. ‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“To the amazement of these...shows no fatigue at all！”可知，让科学家惊讶的是大脑工作时不会显示出疲劳，故选C项。‎ ‎22．According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?‎ A．Challenging mental work. ‎ B．Unpleasant emotions. ‎ C．Endless tasks. ‎ D．Physical labor. ‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话可知，导致我们疲劳的主要是不良的情绪，故选B项。‎ ‎23．What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' ideas?‎ A．He agrees with them. ‎ B．He doubts them. ‎ C．He argues against them. ‎ D．He hesitates to accept them. ‎ 解析：选A　观点态度题。结合全文尤其是文章第一句话可知，作者对这一新的科学发现虽然感到震惊但又认为它是一个具有重要意义的事实，故选A项。‎ ‎24．We can infer from the passage that in order to stay energetic, sitting workers ‎ 21‎ need to ________. ‎ A．have some good food B．enjoy their work C．exercise regularly D．discover fatigue toxins 解析：选B　推理判断题。由文章最后两段可知，导致我们疲劳的主要是不良的情绪，因此要想保持活力必须保持愉悦的心情，故选B项。‎ B New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It's now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this hightech communications equipment is greatly improved by foreign language skills. ‎ Deeply involved in this new technology are a group of modern business people who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets，success overseas often helps support domestic (国内的) business efforts. ‎ Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive(执行人员) ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being“out of sight and out of mind. ” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company's plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas，superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where crosscultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more popular. ‎ Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an evergrowing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn't generally required to get a job in business，but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal. ‎ The employee posted abroad who speaks the country's principal language has an opportunity to fastforward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients(客户)over the telephone or by fax machine ‎ 21‎ is an obvious advantage to the firm. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了高科技通信设备给商业人士带来的便利。熟练掌握外语能够更好地利用高科技通信设备，在求职时具有一定的优势。‎ ‎25．What is the author's attitude toward hightech communications equipment？　‎ A．Critical. B．Prejudiced. ‎ C．Indifferent. D．Positive. ‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。由第一段文字可知，高科技通信设备使世界成为“地球村”；由第二、三段可知，利用高科技通信设备商人可以从容地掌控国内外市场；由最后两段可知，高科技通信设备在商业应用方面的作用。由此可推断出作者对高科技通信设备的态度是“肯定的”。‎ ‎26．With the increased use of hightech communications equipment, business people ________. ‎ A．have to get familiar with modern technology B．are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations　‎ C．are attaching more importance to their overseas business D．are eager to work overseas 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第二段中的“modern business people who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad”及第三、四段内容可知，随着高科技通信设备应用水平的提高，商人更加看重海外贸易。‎ ‎27．In this passage，“out of sight and out of mind” probably means ________. ‎ A．being unable to think properly for lack of insight B．being totally out of touch with business at home C．missing opportunities for promotion when abroad D．leaving all care and worry behind 解析：选C　细节理解题。由其后面的句子“...and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad”可知，“out of sight and out of mind”意为驻扎在别国的执行人员也无须再害怕错过推销产品的机会。‎ ‎28．According to the passage，what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today?‎ A．Connections with businesses overseas. ‎ B．Ability to speak the client's language. ‎ C．Technical knowhow. ‎ D．Business experience. ‎ 21‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据短文倒数第二段的最后一句话和短文的最后一句话可知，B项正确。‎ C The greatest artistic creative geniuses I've ever seen have been those who can turn garbage into art, not just gluing together junk, but really making waste into something unique，cool，and good, something you'd put into your home for instance. There's something to be said about recycling and repurposing of those items we commonly throw away. ‎ The ability to take garbage and turn it into art，or something that is fascinating to look at is a skill all of its own. I have often said that the true geniuses of our time, that is to say, the creative genius artists of our era, are those who can do this—create art that can command a high price tag from junk. ‎ Over the years while traveling through the United States, I had gone into museums in many parts of the country. Some of the best art I've ever seen in my life has come from garbage，trash, or junk that has been reworked and recycled into something spectacular. Best of all the artists don't have much in material cost. In fact they are using their minds to do a lot with very little. Just think if we have used all our minds to do this，how little we might actually throw away，and how more efficiently we could run our factories, production, and even households. ‎ The waste will end up in a landfill，or a dump somewhere, and eventually it will decay in the soil, perhaps causing ground water pollution. However, if we can repurpose these items for a couple of more rounds, and waste less, then we are providing efficiency for our civilization，and that's a good thing. Any artist who can do this is not only one making contributions to the environment, but also one making contributions to humanity, using their brain power and creative genius to make us all better. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　用废弃物制作艺术品不仅能够体现艺术家的聪明才智，而且有利于环保。‎ ‎29．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A．Turn Garbage into Art B．Recycle Garbage in a New Way C．A New Kind of Art D．A New Way to Protect the Environment 解析：选A　主旨大意题。文章介绍了某些艺术家用废弃物制作艺术品，因此A项符合文章的主旨。‎ 21‎ ‎30．The author believes the art work created from junk ________. ‎ A．is not suitable to be put in our home B．cannot be sold C．can be of great value D．will end up in landfills 解析：选C　细节理解题。从文章第二段中的“...create art that can command a high price tag from junk”可知，作者认为用废弃物做出来的艺术品也可以拥有很高的价值。‎ ‎31．We learn from the last paragraph that ________. ‎ A．real artists are those making contributions to humanity B．creating art from garbage can also help protect the environment　‎ C．there is no good way to deal with waste today D．a great amount of waste has been reused by artists 解析：选B　推理判断题。文章最后一段说明，用废弃物制作艺术品，不仅美化了我们的生活，而且能够保护环境。‎ ‎32．What's the author's attitude towards the artists who turn garbage into art?‎ A．Neutral. B．Pitiful. ‎ C．Doubtful. D．Respectful. ‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。综合分析全文可知，作者显然对能用废弃物制作艺术品的艺术家充满了敬意。‎ D Children form opinions about drugs and alcohol at a very early age. Even fourand fiveyearolds have definite opinions about alcohol. Preschoolers, because of the advertisements they see on TV, often think that alcohol helps people have more fun and be better athletes! Images of alcohol are everywhere in our society—consumption of alcohol is depicted (描述)twice per hour in daytime shows, and three times in an average evening program. ‎ Despite the prevalence (盛行)of alcohol in our society，and the problems that can be associated with it, many parents feel uncomfortable when talking about alcohol with their children, or are not sure when and how to start. Many parents believe that teenage drinking is something that their children would never be involved in. ‎ Unfortunately, teenage drinking is very common in North Dakota. In a statewide survey of adolescents in junior and senior high school, only 24% claimed to have never consumed alcohol. When asked about their drinking in the past 30 days：‎ ‎·61% adolescents reported drinking 21‎ ‎·42% drank five or more drinks in a row ‎·17% reported binge drinking (无节制饮酒)‎ ‎·4. 2 % reported driving and drinking Other research on rural youth in North Dakota has found about 10% of a sample of fifth and sixth graders to be engaged in frequent drinking. Teenagers who were reported alcohol use (especially those who began use in late elementary school and junior high school) were more likely to be depressed, felt less positive about both their family and friends，and had poorer grades. ‎ Research has found that children and even teenagers look to their parents in making decisions about important things in their life. Decisions about using alcohol are undoubtedly something that parents will want to provide guidance about. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　青少年饮酒日益成为影响孩子健康成长的一大因素，作者建议父母要勇敢面对这一问题。‎ ‎33．The author thinks that advertisements of alcohol are ________. ‎ A．helpful B．misleading C．pleasing D．illegal 解析：选B　推理判断题。由第一段中“Preschoolers, because of the...have more fun and be better athletes！”可知，作者认为关于酒的广告泛滥成灾，对青少年起了误导作用。‎ ‎34．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________. ‎ A．alcohol is a general topic between parents and children B．most parents feel uncomfortable with drinking C．children cannot be affected by drinking D．parents don't realize the seriousness of teenage drinking 解析：选D　细节理解题。由第二段中的“Many parents believe that teenage drinking is something that their children would never be involved in. ”可知，很多父母没有意识到青少年饮酒的严重性。‎ ‎35．Which of the following might be the best title of the text?‎ A．Keeping Away from Alcohol B．Teenage Drinking Becoming Very Common C．Talking with Young Children about Alcohol D．Tips on How to Talk to Children about Alcohol 解析：选C　主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，文章先分析了青少年饮酒的促发因素以及严重性，然后说明父母与孩子就饮酒问题进行交谈势在必行。由此可知答案为C项。‎ 21‎ 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The iPhone Generation Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what's happening around them. 36 Outside life is shut out. So are you one of them?‎ For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. 37 What's even better，wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says, “I'm not available for chatting at the moment. ”‎ Suppose, you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough, but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. 38 Once again，those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away！” signal. ‎ ‎ 39 It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their “Yes. Mum. ” Problem solved. ‎ Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears—but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new hightech instruments. We'll be in a virtual (虚拟的) world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to，as we like. In this world，we will all be permanently plugged in. 40 And they are changing our social habits along the way. ‎ In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it！It's so strange—suddenly，I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore. ‎ A．Our instruments are changing quickly. ‎ B．I also have wires hanging from my ears. ‎ C．In the home situation, teenagers love these wires. ‎ D．I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment. ‎ E．After all, I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed. ‎ F．Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions. ‎ 21‎ G．They walk around in their own spaces，with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”．‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了iPhone这一代人生活在虚拟世界里，每天把自己局限在一个人的私密空间，然而将来我们会利用技术使生活变得更美好。‎ ‎36．解析：选G　根据空处前面的“in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what's happening around them(不注意周围发生的事情)”，与G项中的“in their own spaces, with their personal‘digital noise reduction systems’”意义上相互呼应。‎ ‎37．解析：选D　结合前面的“walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect”可知，在自己的私密空间里行走是完美的，与D项中“不必应付外面的噪音”相呼应。‎ ‎38．解析：选F　结合空处前面的“the slightest disturbance would break your concentration这种轻微的干扰会打扰你的注意力”，与F项中的“ignore such interruptions忽视这种干扰”相呼应。‎ ‎39．解析：选C　结合空处后面的“ignore their whole family”可知，与C项中的“In the home situation”信息一致。‎ ‎40．解析：选A　根据空处后面的they可知，与A项中的“Our instruments”意义一致。‎ 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节　(共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 41 chasing the same thing. ‎ One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell 42 . I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I 43 the countryside for some place I could rent for the 44 possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road 45 the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was 46 ， full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and 47 a corner to camp in. ‎ The locals knew nothing about me， 48 slowly，they started teaching me the 49 of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 50 around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a 51 American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of 52 . ‎ 21‎ What I had believed in, all those things I thought were 53 for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. 54 on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my 55 with my neighbors. ‎ Four years later, I moved back into 56 . I saw many people were having a really hard time， 57 their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to 58 a handful of people.
