Part Ⅱ
Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
On average, American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more than they did in 1981. They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet ( 芭蕾舞 ). Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997: boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log half that time. All in all, however, children ' s leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%.
“ Children are affected by the same time crunch ( 危机 ) that affects their parents, ” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children ' s timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “ male breadwinner ” households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents, 19 hours and 22 hours respectively. In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.)
All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids. “ Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself, ” says T. Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School . Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it. The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing “ free time ” watching television. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they ' re spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren ' t replacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading. Let ' s face it, who ' s got the time?
21. By mentioning “ the same time crunch ” (Line 1, Para. 2) Sandra Hofferth means ____.
A) children have little time to play with their parents
B) children are not taken good care of by their working parents
C) both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time
D) both parents and children have trouble managing their time
22. According to the author, the reason given by Sandra Hofferth for the time crunch is ____.
A) quite convincingB) partially trueC) totally groundless D) rather confusing
23. According to the author a child develops better if ____.
A) he has plenty of time reading and studying
B) he is left to play with his peers in his own way
C) he has more time participating in school activities
D) he is free to interact with his working parents
24. The author is concerned about the fact that American kids ____.
A) are engaged in more and more structured activities
B) are increasingly neglected by their working mothers
C) are spending more and more time watching TV
D) are involved less and less in household work
25. We can infer from the passage that ____.
A) extracurricular activities promote children ' s intelligence
B) most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off
C) efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful
D) most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer,once said, “ The business of America is business. ” By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.
Few would argue with Ford ' s statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as “ the entertainment industry ” or “ show business. ”
The positive side of Henry Ford ' s statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance ( 大量地 ) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.
The negative side of Henry Ford ' s statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business — referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the right to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing — the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high — creates feelings of insecurity for many.
26. The United Stales is a typical country ____.
A) which encourages free trade at home and abroad
B) where people ' s chief concern is how to make money
C) where all businesses are managed scientifically
D) which normally works according to the federal budget
27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact that ____.
A) most newspapers are run by big businesses
B) even public organizations concentrate on working for profits
C) Americans of all professions know how to do business
D) even arts and entertainment are regarded as business
28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S. , dreaming that ____.
A) they can start profitable businesses there
B) they can be more competitive in business
C) they will make a fortune overnight there
D) they will find better chances of employment
29. Henry Ford ' s statement can be taken negatively because ____.
A) working people are discouraged to fight for their rights
B) there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists
C) there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor
D) public services are not run by the federal government
30. A company ' s efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result in ____.
A) reduction in the number of employees
B) improvement of working conditions
C) fewer disputes between labor and management
D) a rise in workers ' wages
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people, 23 of them women, to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for a fortnight. When he came to analyse their embarrassing lapses ( 差错 ) in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings. Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random ( 随机的 ).
One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “ The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer, ” explains the professor. “ People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman ' s custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But somehow the action got reversed in the programme. ” About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “ programme assembly failures. ”
Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doing — an average of twelve each. There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest ( 荒谬可笑的 ). These are two hours some time between eight a.m. and noon , between four and six p.m. with a smaller peak between eight and ten p.m. “ Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain ‘ programmes ' occurs, as for instance between going to and from work. ” Women on average reported slightly more lapses — 12.5 compared with 10.9 for men — probably because they were more reliable reporters.
A startling finding of the research is that the absent-minded activity is a hazard of doing things in which we are skilled. Normally, you would expect that skill reduces the number of errors we make. But trying to avoid silly slips by concentrating more could make things a lot worse — even dangerous.
31. In his study Professor Smith asked the subjects ____.
A) to keep track of people who tend to forget things
B) to report their embarrassing lapses at random
C) to analyse their awkward experiences scientifically
D) to keep a record of what they did unintentionally
32. Professor Smith discovered that ____.
A) certain patterns can be identified in the recorded incidents
B) many people were too embarrassed to admit their absent-mindedness
C) men tend to be more absent-minded than women
D) absent-mindedness is an excusable human weakness
33. “ Programme assembly failures ” (Line 6, Para. 2) refers to the phenomenon that people ____.
A) often fail to programme their routines beforehand
B) tend to make mistakes when they are in a hurry
C) unconsciously change the sequence of doing things
D) are likely to mess things up if they are too tired
34. We learn from the third paragraph that ____.
A) absent-mindedness tends to occur during certain hours of the day
B) women are very careful to perform actions during peak periods
C) women experience more peak periods of absent-mindedness
D) men ' s absent-mindedness often results in funny situations
35. It can be concluded from the passage that ____.
A) people should avoid doing important things during peak periods of lapses
B) hazards can be avoided when people do things they are good at
C) people should be careful when programming their actions
D) lapses cannot always be attributed to lack of concentration
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
It ' s no secret that many children would be healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them. That ' s especially true of children who remain in abusive homes because the law blindly favors biological parents. It ' s also true of children who suffer for years in foster homes ( 收养孩子的家庭 ) because of parents who can ' t or won ' t care for them but refuse to give up custody ( 监护 ) rights.
Fourteen-year-old Kimberly Mays fits neither description, but her recent court victory could eventually help children who do. Kimberly has been the object of an angry custody battle between the man who raised her and her biological parents, with whom she has never lived. A Florida judge ruled that the teenager can remain with the only father she ' s ever known and that her biological parents have “ no legal claim ” on her.
The ruling, though it may yet be reversed, sets aside the principle that biology is the primary determinant of parentage. That ' s an important development, one that ' s long overdue.
Shortly after birth in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another infant were mistakenly switched and sent home with the wrong parents. Kimberly ' s biological parents, Ernest and Regina Twigg, received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988. Medical tests showed that the child wasn ' t the Twiggs ' own daughter, but! Kimberly was, thus sparking a custody battle with Robert Mays. In 1989, the two families agreed that Mr. Mays would maintain custody with the Twiggs getting visiting rights. Those rights were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Kimberly was being harmed.
The decision to leave Kimberly with Mr. Mays rendered her suit debated. But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue ( 起诉 ) on her own behalf. Thus he made clear that she was more than just property to be handled as adults saw fit.
Certainly, the biological link between parent and child is fundamental. But biological parents aren ' t always preferable to adoptive ones, and biological parentage does not convey an absolute ownership that cancels all the rights of children.
36. What was the primary consideration in the Florida judge ' s ruling?
A) The biological link.B) The child ' s benefits.
C) The traditional practice.D) The parents ' feelings.
37. We can learn from the Kimberly case that ____.
A) children are more than just personal possessions of their parents
B) the biological link between parent and child should be emphasized
C) foster homes bring children more pain and suffering than care
D) biological parents shouldn ' t claim custody rights after their child is adopted
38. The Twiggs claimed custody rights to Kimberly because ____.
A) they found her unhappy in Mr. Mays ' custody
B) they regarded her as their property
C) they were her biological parents
D) they felt guilty about their past mistake
39. Kimberly had been given to Mr. Mays ____.
A) by sheer accidentB) out of charity C) at his requestD) for better care
40. The author ' s attitude towards the judge ' s ruling could be described as____.
A) doubtfulB) criticalC) cautiousD) supportive

Part Ⅳ
Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)
Directions:In this part there is a short passage with 8 questions or incomplete statements.Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Your answeer may be a word,a phrase,or a short sentences.Write your answers in the spaces provided on the right of the page. What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? I think the following would generally accepted.
First, the teacher ' s personality should be lively and attractive. This does not rule out people who are plain-looking, or even ugly, because many such people have great personal charm. But it does rule out such types as the over-excitable, sad, cold, and frustrated.
Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a genuine capacity for sympathy, a capacity to understand the minds and feelings of other people, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, the minds and feelings of children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant — not, indeed, of what is wrong, but of the weaknesses and immaturity of human nature which induce ( 诱导 ) people, and again especially children, to make mistakes.
Thirdly, I held it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths and limitations, and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided. There is no contradiction in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor. That is part of the technique of teaching, which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act to enliven ( 使生动 ) a lesson, correct a fault, or award praise. Children, especially young children, live in a world that is rather larger than life.
A teacher must be capable of infinite patience. This, I may say, is largely a matter of self-discipline and self-training, for we are none of us born like that.
Finally, I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on learning. Teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect; there is always something more to learn about it. There are three principal objects of study: the subjects which the teacher is teaching; the methods by which the subjects can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes he is teaching; and — by far the most important — the children, young people, or adults to whom the subjects are to be taught. The two fundamental principles of British education today are that education is education of the whole person, and that it is best acquired through full and active co-operation between two persons, the teacher and the learner.

Still, that first day was very hard. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I cut and cut very large yards in well-to-do part of the city. By the end of the day I was exhausted, but I felt good. I put out a hard day ' s labor and earned six dollars. One day, my father spotted some weeds I have missd cutting and pulled me inside. “ Cut that section again! ” he said firmly “ and don ' t make me have to tell you again. ” The message was very clear. Today I stress the importance of doing the job right the first time.

It wasn ' t always like this though I used to have a really stressful job, working so late in the office every evening. I often bring work home at the weekends. The advertising world is very competitive. And when I look back, I can ' t imagine how I stood it. I have no private life at all. No time for the really important things in life. Because of the pressure of the job, I used to smoke and drink too much. The crisis came when my wife left me. She complainted that she never saw me and I had no time for family life. This made me realize what is really important to me. I talked things through with her and decided to get back together and started a new and better life together.

“ Where is the university? ” is the question many visitors to Cambridge ask. But no one could point at any one direction because there is no campus. The university consists of 31 self-governing colleges. It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city. Individual colleges choose their own students who have to meet their minimum entrance requirements set by the university. And the graduates usually live and study in their colleges but they are taught in very full groups. Lectures and laboratories and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings. There are over ten thousand undergraduates and three thousand five hundred post-graduates. About 40% of them are women and some 8% from overseas. As well as teaching, research is of major importance. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, more than sixty university members have won Nobel Prizes. The university has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research. It has more than 60 specialist subject libraries as well as the university library, which as the copy-right libraries, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain . Examinations are held and degrees are awarded by the university. It allowed women to take the university exams in the 1881, but it was not until 1948 that they were awarded degrees.

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Passage One
【短文大意】平均地说，美国 3 到 12 岁的孩子一周有 29 个小时在学校度过，这比 1981 年要多 8 个小时。他们还要多做家庭作业、多参加一些象足球和芭蕾一样有组织的活动。尤其是，参加运动的人数从 1981 年到 1997 年间上升到了 50% ：目前，男孩子平均一周花四个小时运动；女孩子则平均一周花两个小时。然而，总的说来，孩子们的空闲时间从 1981 年每天 40% 下降到每天 25% 。“孩子们受影响他们父母的同样的时间危机所影响。”主持最近一次孩子时间表调查的桑多拉·霍夫思如是说。她认为，一个主要的原因就是越来越多的母亲正步入社会参加工作。（然而，双收入和单收入家庭的孩子都花相当多的时间和他们的父母交流：分别是平均每周 19 小时和 22 小时。相比之下，单亲家庭的孩子平均每周只花 9 小时与其母亲交流。）只工作不玩耍，聪明的孩子也变傻。哈佛医学院教授贝利·布拉泽顿说：“玩是一个孩子探索世界和了解自己最有力量的方式。”自由地玩耍能激发孩子独立的思考和让他们与其同辈相处和协，但 3 到 12 岁这样做的孩子一周却只花 12 小时，所调查的孩子把他们急剧减少的四分之一的自由时间用来看电视。无论你信不信，那却是他们的母亲所发现的被当作是最好的消息之一。即使他们不花那么多时间看电视，孩子们也不会用这个时间来看书。尽管作出了各种努力，让孩子对阅读书籍产生更大的兴趣，然而孩子们还是一周只花个把小时来阅读。让我们面对这个问题吧：谁切实利用了时间？
21. C 桑多拉·霍夫思提到“同样的时间危机”，她指的是： A ）孩子没有多少时间和他们的父母玩； B ）孩子没有得到他们上班的父母的照料； C ）父母和孩子都饱受空闲时间缺乏之苦； D ）父母和孩子都很难安排好他们的时间。本题为词义理解题。理解该词义的关键是第二段的第一、二句话。“孩子们受影响他们父母的同样的时间危机所影响。”主持最近一次孩子时间表调查的桑多拉·霍夫思如是说。她认为，一个主要的原因就是越来越多的母亲正步入社会参加工作。可见 C ）父母和孩子都饱受空闲时间缺乏之苦为正确答案。
22. B 根据作者，桑多拉·霍夫思为时间危机给的理由是： A ）十分有说服力； B ）部分真实； C ）完全没有根据； D ）相当令人迷惑。本题为细节理解题。理解该细节的关键是第二段中括号中的句子：（然而，双收入和单收入家庭的孩子都花相当多的时间和他们的父母交流：分别是平均每周 19 小时和 22 小时。相比之下，单亲家庭的孩子平均每周只花 9 小时与其母亲交流。）这是作者针对桑多拉·霍夫思前一、二句话观点所举的例外。显然， B ）部分真实为正确答案。
23. B 根据作者，一个孩子会成长得更好，如果： A ）他有许多时间用来读书和学习； B ）让他以他自己的方式和同龄人玩； C ）他有更多的时间参加学校活动； D ）他可以自由地和上班的父母交流。这是一个细节题理解题。该题的关键是理解第三段，尤其是，“玩是一个孩子探索世界和了解自己最有力量的方式。”以及“自由地玩耍能激发孩子独立的思考和让他们与其同辈相处和协”。可见， B ）让他以他自己的方式和同龄人玩为正确答案。
24.A 作者对这个事实很关注：美国的孩子： A ）都忙于越来越多有组织的活动； B ）都越来越受到他们上班的母亲的忽视； C ）都花越来越多的时间看电视； D ）做的家庭作业都越来越少。这是一个主旨题。文章第一段第一句话“平均地说，美国 3 到 12 岁的孩子一周有 29 个小时在学校度过，这比 1981 年要多 8 个小时。他们还要多做家庭作业、多参加一些象足球和芭蕾一样有组织的活动。尤其是，参加运动的人数从 1981 年到 1997 年间上升到了 50% ”，文章第一段最后一句话“然而，总的说来，孩子们的空闲时间从 1981 年每天 40% 下降到每天 25% 。”第三段又认为““玩是一个孩子探索世界和了解自己最有力量的方式。”以及“自由地玩耍能激发孩子独立的思考和让他们与其同辈相处和协”。显然， A ）都忙于越来越多有组织的活动为正确答案。
25.C 从这篇文章中可以推测出： A ）课外活动能增进孩子的智力； B ）如果不看电视，大多数孩子都会看书； C ）为使孩子对读书感兴趣而做的努力是有效果的； D ）大多数父母都认为阅读对孩子有益。这是一个细节推理题。可从两方面思考：一方面排除 A ），文中没有提到； B ）与文中最后一段描述相反； D ）文中也没有提到；父母发现孩子用空闲时间看电视才是好消息。另一方面，仔细思考文章倒数第二句话：“尽管作出了各种努力，让孩子对阅读书籍产生更大的兴趣，然而孩子们还是一周只花个把小时来阅读”。可见，答案是 C ）为使孩子对读书感兴趣而作的努力是有效果的。
Passage Two
【短文大意】亨利·福特认为美国的商业才是商业。商业对美国的影响深刻而广泛，扫一眼每天的报纸就可以知道美国有多少人谈论商业。亨利·福特的话既有积极的一面又有消极的一面：一方面商业给美国人的生活带来繁荣，比如工作机会增多，财富增多等，另一方面，大商业这个词指的是最大的公司，它意味着劳资双方的对立，比如自美国建国以来工人就一直不得不为增加工资而战，为更好的工作环境而战等。即使是今天，许多劳资纷争已经结束，但还是存在就业压力：一个公司作出降低成本提高利润的努力可能就会导致：雇员数量的减少。
26. B 美国是一个典型的国家： A ）它鼓励国内国外的自由贸易； B ）它的人民主要关心怎样赚钱； C ）它的所有商业都科学地经营； D ）它根据联邦预算正常运作。这是一个细节理解题。可从两个角度思考：一是排除 A ），文中虽提到美国重商，但没有提到它就鼓励国内国外的自由贸易； C ）的内容文中完全没有提到； D ）也没有提到；文中只是提到商业会影响到它，并没有说美国以联邦预算为运作依据。而是文章第一段最后一句话“……美国的生活方式是以商界的价值观为基础的”。可见 B ）对。
27. D 这个事实可以表明美国的商业影响很显著： A ）大多数报纸由大商业公司经营； B ）甚至公共机构也致力于获取利润； C ）各行各业的美国人都知道怎样经商； D ）甚至文艺娱乐也被当着商业活动。这是一个细节理解题。它也涉及到文章的篇章发展：第一段引用亨利·福特的话“美国的商业才是商业”。第二段接着举例说明商业对美国影响的深刻而广泛。 D ）甚至文艺娱乐也被当着商业活动。 D ）是说明问题的例子。故答案为 D ）。
28. D 根据短文，移民选择定居美国是梦想： A ）他们能在那儿开始有利可图的商务； B ）他们能在商业活动中更有竞争力； C ）他们会在那儿一夜间发迹； D ）他们能找到更好的就业机会。这是一个细节理解题。第三段的第二句话 One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job （许多人从世界各地来美国定居的一个重要原因就是梦想会找到一个好工作）。所以 D ）是正确答案。
29. C 亨利·福特的话有消极的一面是因为： A ）不鼓励工人为自己的权利而战； B ）许多企业是由少数大资本家控制； C ）劳资双方总有对立关系； D ）公益事业不是由联邦政府掌管 。这是一个细节归纳题。仔细理解归纳文章最后一段，尤其是“ And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor( 大商业这个词，指的是最大的公司，它和劳动力是对立的 ). ”和“ Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the right to form unions （美国建国以来，工人不得不为高薪而战，为更好的工作环境而战，以及为组建工会的权利而战） . ”可见， C ）对。
30. A 一个公司作出降低成本提高利润的努力可能就会导致： A ）减少雇员数量； B ）改善工作环境； C ）减少劳资双方的纷争； D ）提高工人工资。这是一个细节理解题。文章最后一句话对 downsizing 解释： the laying off of thousand
s of workers to keep expenses low and profits high 就是本题讨论内容。显然，选 A ）。
Passage Three
【短文大意】史密斯教授请 23 个妇女、 12 个男子记下他们两周内所发生的所有分神行为。他发现这些失误既可以分为几类又有规律可寻。比如分神容易在一天的某几个时辰发生，越集中注意力避免失误反而越容易出错等。
31. D 史密斯教授在它的研究中： A ）记下那些容易忘事的人； B ）随意地报告他们尴尬的失误； C ）科学地分析他们尴尬的经历； D ）任意地记下他们所做过的事情。这是一个细节理解题。只要理解了文章第一段第一句话“ Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people, 23 of them women, to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for a fortnight. ”就可以得出答案 D ）。
32. A 史密斯教授发现： A ）在所记录的事件中能识别出一些规律； B ）多数人太难堪了以致不愿承认曾分神； C ）男人比女人更容易分神； D ）分神是人类一种可以让人理解的弱点。这是一个细节理解题。只要理解了文章第一段最后两句话“ When he came to analyse their embarrassing lapses ( 差错 ) in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings. Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random ( 随机的 ). ”，就可以得出答案 A ）。
33. C 第二段第六行中的“程序装配失误”指的是这种现象： A ）人们不能提前编制程序线路； B ）人们忙中容易出错； C ）人们会无意识地改变做事的秩序； D ）人们如果太疲劳就易于把事弄糟。这是一个词义理解题。其实它就是第二段中所描述的事情：一个女士平时出门上班之前总是先扔给狗两块饼干，然后再给它戴上耳饰；但有一天却不知怎么行为程序弄颠倒了：先扔耳饰给狗，接着试图把饼干戴到它耳朵上。尤其是根据文章第二段最后两句话“ But somehow the action got reversed in the programme. About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these ‘ programme assembly failures. '”就可以得出答案 C ）。
34. A 从第三自然段我们可以得知： A ）分神容易在一天的某几个时辰发生； B ）在高峰期妇女做事非常小心； C ）妇女经历的分神高峰期较多； D ）男人的分神经常会导致可笑的情形。这是一个细节归纳理解题。正如题干所言，根据文章第三段“ There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest ( 荒谬可笑的 ). These are two hours some time between eight a.m. and noon, between four and six p.m. with a smaller peak between eight and ten p.m.. ”，可知答案为 A ）。
35. A 根据这篇短文可以得知： A ）人们应该避免在失误高峰期做重要的事； B ）人们在做擅长的事情时可以避免危险； C ）人们在计划行动时应该谨慎； D ）失误不能总归咎于缺乏注意力。这是一个主旨题。答案要在理解全文的基础上，加以思考和推理才能得出。这牵涉到对作者作文的目的的猜测。不过在通读全文后了很容易得出：研究失误的目的是什么？发现失误的分类和规律有什么意义？这样再经过排除 B ）与文中描述相反； C ）文中没有提到； D ）似乎不是本文讨论的焦点，从而就可以得出答案 A ）了。
Passage Four
【短文大意】并不是所有孩子都在亲生父母家里过得健康快乐，而在收养家庭得不到健康快乐。十四岁的金伯莉在最近的一次庭审中由法官判给了养父，说明了血缘关系并不是监护权诉讼中的决定性因素。法官表明，金伯莉有权代表自己起诉。血缘关系并不意味着亲身父母就对孩子有绝对控制权，从而剥夺了孩子的权利。
36. B 佛罗里达法官判决主要考虑的是什么？ A ）血缘关系； B ）孩子的利益； C ）传统的做法； D ）父母的感情。这是一个推理题。首先“ A Florida judge ruled that the teenager can remain with the only father she ' s ever known and that her biological parents have “ no legal claim ” on her. ”，显然，法官考虑的不是血缘关系，那么 A ）排除；其次，“ The ruling, though it may yet be reversed, sets aside the principle that biology is the primary determinant of parentage. That ' s an important development, one that ' s long overdue. ”，则 C ）也排除；接下来，联系 C ）的排除，再加上“ But biological parents aren ' t always preferable to adoptive ones, and biological parentage does not convey an absolute ownership that cancels all the rights of children. ”，可见， D ）项也不在法官的考虑之中。从而选 B ）。
37. A 从金伯莉的案子中我们可以得知： A ）孩子决不是父母的私人财产； B ）应该强调孩子和父母之间的血缘关系； C ）收养家庭带给孩子的痛苦多于关怀； D ）亲生父母在孩子被收养后不应该要回监护权。这是一个细节归纳推理题。根据文章的最后两段，尤其是“ But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue ( 起诉 ) on her own behalf. Thus he made clear that she was more than just property to be handled as adults saw fit. ”，再联系本文的主旨“血缘关系并不是监护权诉讼中的决定性因素。”，显然就可以选出 A ）。
38. C 特格斯夫妇要回对金伯莉的监护权是因为： A ）他们发现她在梅斯先生的监护下不幸福； B ）他们把她看成是他们的私有财产； C ）他们是她的亲生父母； D ）他们为过去的错误感到愧疚。这是一个细节题。首先 A ）明显与题意不符：金伯莉最后自己表态要判给养父梅斯先生； B ）不是直接原因； D ）文中没有提到；再根据短文第四段中“ Medical tests showed that the child wasn ' t the Twiggs ' own daughter, but Kimberly was, thus sparking a custody battle with Robert Mays. ”就可以得出答案 C ）。
39. D 金伯莉判给了梅斯先生是因为： A ）完全出于偶然； B ）应梅斯先生的请求； C ）出于慈善； D ）为了更好的照料。这是一个细节推理题。根据文章中“ In 1989, the two families agreed that Mr. Mays would maintain custody with the Twiggs getting visiting rights. Those rights were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Kimberly was being harmed. ”和“ But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue ( 起诉 ) on her own behalf. ”，而且最后判给了梅斯先生。显然，选 D ）。
40. D 作者对法官判决的态度是： A ）怀疑的； B ）批判的； C ）谨慎的； D ）支持的。这是一个推理题。根据文章总体的语气，尤其是第一段第一句、第三段以及最后一段的内容，可知作者法官判决的态度是支持的。所以选 D ）。

An Eye -Witness Account of a Traffic Accident
My name is Wangming and I am studying at college. A week ago I saw a traffic accident, which is still vivid in my mind now.
It was at about 9:00 on Saturday morning, June 15th, when I went out of the university to visit a friend of mine at another university. I was walking leisurely on the sidewalk when I heard a loud crash of two vehicles just at the T-junction about 10 metres away from me. Two taxis crashed together. It was a traffic accident. I went up and found that the two taxis were badly damaged. Both roofs of the two taxis were out of shape. One door of a car was knocked off and lying on the road. One driver was blooding and another was shut in the taxi. Some people were trying to help the driver get out of the damaged car. One man was calling to the traffic policeman station. A lot of cars were jammed on the road.
From the stopping track on the road, it is clear that the two taxis were driving too fast. But it is just one of the reasons. In my opinion, the taxi drivers are eager to take more passengers and make a little more money. On the other hand, both drivers don ' t show concern for one another. Both of them wanted to run in front of another. Therefore, the accident is inevitable. So far, we should let the drivers keep it in their mind that a little slower, a little safer. Taking care of other ' s lives means taking care of your own life. |
