Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the seasons and crime patterns.The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, ismore than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. on a Saturday night in December, January, or February. What is the most uncriminal month of all? May—except for one strange statistic.

Speak slowly and clearly and look at the people in your audience. Use simple vocabulary and expressions whenever possible. Pause for a few seconds and then to give your audience a chance to think about what you have said. Make sure that everyone in the room can hear you. If it is a large room or an auditorium, you will probably have to use a microphone. If you follow these simple steps you´ll see that you don´t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You´re not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.16. What is the main idea of the article?A.

What are these characteristic features which outstand in making the English language what it is, which give it its individuality and make it of this worldwide significance?First and most important is extraordinary receptive and adaptable —it has taken to itself material from almost everywhere in the world and has made the new elements of language its own. English, which when the Anglo-Saxons first conquered England in the fifth and sixth centuries was almost a “pure” or unmixed language—which could make new words for new ideas from its own compounded elements.A second outstanding characteristic of English is its simplicity and the relationship of words in a sentence with only the minimum of change in their shapes or variation of endings.A third quality of English is its relatively fixed word order.21. This passage is primarily concerned with ________.A. reasons for the popularity of EnglishB.

While of course a tail i s not equipped with fingers, it can sometimes be even more useful than an arm or a leg. A spider monkey´s tail, for instance, is longer than its head and body combined, and is frequently used instead of a hand to grasp distantobjects. Other monkeys less fortunate are forced to relegate at least one limb to support while they feed. Whereas monkeys endowed with prehensility can hang by their tails while they feast with both hands and feet. A few New World monkeys have also evolved arms and shoulders that are suitable for swinging hand over hand through the tress like the Asiatic Gibbons.26.

"And this time," according to a NASA press release, "we're going to stay."NASA wants to make a new spaceship for the missions using parts from the Apollo program, which first took people to the moon in 1969, and the space shuttle. NASA says the new Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) will be "affordable, reliable, reliable, and sage."The CEV will be able to hold four astronauts. The plan is to have the CEV dock(对接)in space with the lunar lande—the vehicle astronauts will use to land on the moon—which will be launched separately into space. The CEV will then travel to the moon and all four astronauts will walk on the moon.The first moon missions are expected to last up to seven days.

Now, people around the world can hear some of the former slaves' stories for the first time ever, as told in their own voices."That was in slavery time," says Charlie Smith in one interview. "They sold the colored people. And they were bringing them from Africa. They brought me from Africa. I was a child."The Library of Congress released the collection of recordings, Voices from the Days of Slavery, in January. The recordings were made between 1932 and 1975. Speaking at least 60 years after their emancipation(解放), the storytellers discuss their experiences as slaves. They also tell about their lives as free men and women.Isom Moseley was just a boy at the time of emancipation, but he recalls that things were slow to change. "It was a year before the folks knowed they was free," he says.[黑人说英语有时不合语法,因此,这里他把knew说成了knowed, 把were 说成了was.]Michael Taft, the head of the library's archive of folk culture, says the recordings reveal something that written stories cannot.

Becoming aware of our mother’s age, not just in numbers of years but _____ her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better.A. in spite ofB. on account ofC. in terms ofD. by means ofPart Two Reading ComprehensionDirections:There are three passages and two advertisements in this part. Each passage and the two ads are followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.Buildings account for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources such as gasoline, and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on previously developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests or other wild habitats (栖息地).Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green residential high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy consumption by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”Not everyone is leaping to move into a green building, however. Some people think that features such as solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Despite this, Dettling hopes that green buildings will become common in the future. “It’s going to be big,”she said.11. What do green buildings refer to nowadays?A. Buildings painted by green hands.B. Buildings covered with green plants.C. Buildings that are environment-friendly.D. Buildings like houses, factories, and offices.12. The word “Also” (line 2, para. 2)is used to ___.A. continue the discussion of total U.S. electricity use.B. Expand the topic of the reduction of energy and water use.C. Include the discussion of public transportation.D. Shift the focus to the topic of the environment protection.13. In terms of land use, green buildings are constructed by ____.A. making use of the developed land.B. Developing new land.C. Clearing the ground in a forest.D. Draining wild habitats.14. Why are some people NOT so enthusiastic about green buildings?A. Because they do not jump into a green building.B. Because they fail to move into a green building.C. Because they find it more costly to live in a green building.D. Because they think that solar panels still cost too much.15. What did Marty Dettling mean when she said “It’s going to be big”?A. Green buildings have a great potential.B. People expect bigger green buildings.C. Green buildings will be larger in size.D. People prefer to live in bigger buildings.Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Theme-park-bound bargain seekers would be wise to spend some time surfing online before they get in line at the parks this summer.A growing number of these attractions now allow customers to print e-tickets at home with large discounts off the gate price, in part to spur attendance that has declined in recent years.After boom times in the late 1990s, theme park attendance began to decrease, with an overall decline of about 4% over the past few years at North America’s 50 most-visited establishments, says James Zoltak, editor of Amusement Business.“The bloom was off the rose as we turned the corner into 2000, so there’s more discounting now,” he says.Discounting isn’t new to an industry that has long partnered with other commercial enterprises, such as soft drink companies, to offer deals. The e-ticketing adds a new opportunity that not only brings savings but convenience as well, since it allows visitors to avoid the line at the gate.“If you can get in early before the lines fill up, you're getting more for your money,”says Robert Niles of the website Theme Park Insider.16. The word “attractions” (line 1, para. 2) refers to ___.A. theme parksB. bargainsC. e-ticketsD. discounts17. Why do more and more theme parks offer large discounts off gate price?A. To get in line at the parks this summer.B. To encourage more people to come to the parks.C. To enable people to get e-tickets at home.D. To reduce the attendance figure.18. What does the sentence “The bloom was off the rose” mean?A. the rose in the theme park was out of bloom.B. the year 2000 was lucky for the 50 establishments.C. the theme park attendance was like the rose.D. the best time for the theme parks was gone.19. What is the new opportunity e-ticketing brings to the theme parks?A. The theme park industry will be more profitable.B. Soft drink companies will be better partners of the parks.C. The tour to the parks will be more convenient.D. Visitors to the parks will have more discounts.20. The last sentence of this passage is based on the idea that ____.A. it is wise to surf online.B. discounting isn’t everything.C. e-ticketing attracts more partners.D. time is money.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:One thing almost everyone is agreed on , including Americans, is that they place a very high valuation upon success. Success does not necessarily mean material rewards, but recognition of some sort—preferably measurable. If a boy turns out to be a preacher(传道者) instead of a businessman, that’s all right. But the bigger his church is, the more successful he is judged to be.A good many things contributed to this accent on success. There was the Puritan(清教徒的) belief in the virtue of work, both for its own sake and because the rewards it brought were regarded as signs of God’s love. There was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settled. There was the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through achievement.There was the determination of an immigrant to gain in the new world what had been denied to him in the old, and on the part of his children an urge to throw off the immigrant onus(负担) by still more success and still more rise in a fluid and classless society. Brothers did not compete within the family for the favor of the parents as in Europe, but worked hard for success in the outer world, along paths of their own choosing.21. According to the first paragraph, ______.A. success is highly valued in American society.B. success surely brings material rewards.C. success equals measurable recognition.D. people agree on what success means.22. In this passage, the author indicates that _____.A. preachers are not as successful as businessmen.B. businessmen are not as successful as preachers.C. boys are advised to become preachers instead of businessmen.D. measurable success can also be achieved by preachers.23. The word “accent” (line 1, para. 2) most probably means ____.A. dialectB. emphasisC. attentionD. recognition24. Which of the following does NOT account for people’s desire for success?A. The Puritan belief in the virtue of work.B. Richness of opportunities in the new world.C. Lack of fixed social ranks and classes.D. Determination to deny the values of the new world.25. It is suggested in the last paragraph that _______ in the old world.A. children tended to compete for the favor of their parentsB. children were determined to throw off their immigrant identitiesC. children were urged to achieve success in the fluid and classless societyD. children worked hard for success along paths chosen by their parents.Questions 26-30 are based on the following two advertisements: Advertisement IAdvertisment ⅡSCONE PALACEPERTH SCOTLANDThe Home of the Earls of MansfieldSituated just outside Perth on the A93, Braemar Road2004Good Friday 25TH Apirl to Monday 5TH OctoberMonday to Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.mSunday July and August from 11:00 a.mBeautiful porcelain,superb French furniture,unique Vernis Martin collection, Lvories,clocks,needlework and objects D’art.Extensive Grounds.Woodland Gardens.Adventure Playgrounds.Old Kitchen Restaurant-Home Baking-Coffee Shop-Gift Shop_produce Shop Evening tours, Meetings, ConcertsCONTACT THE ADMINISTRATORPERTH(0738)52300Admission ChargesAdult:30 pChildren: 15 p26.

第五节阅读理解强化练习Passage 3Before the 1870, trained nurses were virtually unknown in the United States, Hospital nursing was an unskilled occupation taken up by women of the lower classes, some of whom were conscripted from the penitentiary or the almshouse. The movement for reform originated not with doctors, but among upper-class women, who had taken on the role of guardians of a new hygienic order. Though some doctors approved of the womendesire to establish a nurses training school, which would attract the daughters of the middle class, other medical men were opposed. Plainly threatened by the prospect, they objected that educated nurses would not do as they were told-a remarkable comment on the status anxieties of nineteenth-century physicians. But the women reformers did not depend on the physicians approval: When resisted, as they were at Bellevue in efforts to install trained nurses on the maternity wards, they went over the heads of the doctors to men of their own class of greater power and authority. (Florence Nightingale, who had friends high in the English government, had followed exactly the same course in reforming beer country military hospitals.) Professional nursing, in short, emerged neither from medical discoveries nor from a program of hospital reform initiated by physicians; outsiders saw the need first.20911. Which of the following the best title for the passage?A. Public Hygiene in the United StatesB. Florence Nightingale: A Nurse StoryC. The Fight for Nursing Education in the United StatesD. Health Care in Upper and Lower-Class Neighborhoods12.

The author states that the first advocates of nursing training in the United States wereA. medical menB. upper-class womenC. professional nursesD. military commanders14. Why does the author mention Florence Nightingale?A. To describe the career of a pioneer of United States medicineB. To show that women doctors supported the effort to upgrade nursingC. To prove that conditions differed in military and civilian hospitalsD. To show the similarity of her tactics to those used by United States reformers15. In line 24, the word “outsiders” refers to people whoA. had been rejected by societyB. were not part of the medical establishmentC. had been severely injured in military combatD. were not citizens of the United States11.【答案】C【解析】The Fight for Nursing Education in the United States;本⽂从头到尾讲的全是美国上层妇⼥为建⽴护⼠教育⽽进⾏的⽃争。

06年GCT考试英语辅导教材--阅读(13)第五节阅读理解强化练习Passage 3At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented.Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room — a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.11. Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?A. People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly rooms.B.

第五节阅读理解强化练习Reading Comprehension 3Passage 1According to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are creative every day. To create means “to bring into being, to cause to exist”—something each of us does daily.We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sese to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun,” the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day to day activities.1.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?A.To prepare a meal.B.To arrange the furniture in a peculiar way.C.To buy some books from a bookstore.D.To “write” a letter with the computer.2.The author holds that ____.A.creativity is of highly demandB.creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extentC.creativity is to create something new and concreteD.to practise and practise is the only way to cultivate one´s creativity3.“There is nothing new under the sun.” (Par.3) really implies that ____.A.we can seldom create new thingsB.a new thing is only a taleC.a new thing can only be created at the basis of original thingsD.we can scarcely see really new things in the world4.What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?A.It´s more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.B.To find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing.C.One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.D.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.5.The best title for this passage is ____.A.How to Cultivate One´s CreativityB.What is CreativityC.The Importance of CreativityD.Creativity—a Not Farway Thing1.【答案】C。

第五节阅读理解强化练习Reading Comprehension 5Passage 1The beat generation mainly referred to the youth who were born and brought up around the Second World War. They showed their disdain (蔑视,轻视) for almost everything traditional, such as government authority, respect for parents, one磗duty,moral standards, and traditional customs. They developed a kind of absolute individualism and liberty.They preferred long hair, mini-dresses or close-fitting clothes to show off the figure. They advocated freedom of sex and cohabitation (同居). Their influence could be seen from the fact that about one third of the American couples living together were not married by law. And the divorce rate was very high. The endless U.S wars abroad and sharp class struggle at home caused many American youths to develop a kind of cynicism. They doubted the existing social system,possibility of harmonious human relations, and the long honored standard for correct behavior. They felt society overlooked their needs. Therefore, they refused to do any duty that was required of them by society. They declared “Don磘 believe anyone over thirty.” All this came from the sick society. It磗 wrong to imagine they all fought against capitalism in support of revolutionary things. Some of their ideas were even more decadent (颓废的)and impractical. It was an abnormal phenomenon in an abnormal society.1. Based on the passage, how many of one hundred and twenty American couples of the beat generation practiced cohabitation?A. about 20 couples.B. about 30 couples.C. about 60 couples.D. about 40 couples.2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.The beat generation磗 refused to do any duty.B.The beat generation was in support of almost everything traditional.C.The beat generation believes no one except that he is over thirty.D.The beat generation磗 ideas were not impractical.3. “Cynicism” in this passage most probably means ____.A. a state of mind against realismB. a state of mind doubting everything in existenceC. a theory advocating mutual helpD. a theory advocating individualism4.The reason why the beat generation refused to cooperate with society was ____.A. they had no interestB. they found hard to cooperate with itC. the laws block their way to do soD. they thought their need was neglected5.This passage is mainly about ____.A. the young AmericansB. the generation gapC. the education of the youngD. an American social phenomenon1.【答案】D。

They giggle(吃吃地笑)as the commands keep coming in Mandarin Chinese.Half of the 340 students at the K-5 school are enrolled in the program. They can continue studying Chinese in middle and high schools. The goal: to speak like natives.About 24,000 American students are currently learning Chinese. Most are in high schools. But the number of younger students is growing in response to China's emergence as a global superpower."China has become a strong partner of the United States," says Mary Patterson, Woodstock's principal. "Children who learn Chinese at a young age will have more opportunities for jobs in the future."Isabel Weiss, 9, isn't thinking about the future. She thinks learning Chinese is fun.

Isabel Weiss has also chosen to learn Chinese because ________ .A. she wants a brighter futureB. she finds it fun to learn the languageC. she likes to do business in ChinaD. she watches people speak the languageQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced plans to return people to the moon by 2018. "And this time," according to a NASA press release, "we're going to stay."NASA wants to make a new spaceship for the missions using parts from the Apollo program, which first took people to the moon in 1969, and the space shuttle. NASA says the new Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) will be "affordable, reliable, reliable, and sage."The CEV will be able to hold four astronauts. The plan is to have the CEV dock(对接)in space with the lunar lande—the vehicle astronauts will use to land on the moon—which will be launched separately into space. The CEV will then travel to the moon and all four astronauts will walk on the moon.The first moon missions are expected to last up to seven days. Exploration and construction of a moon base will be the astronauts' top priorities(最优先考虑的事).NASA hopes to have a minimum of two moon missions a year starting in 2018.

Now, people around the world can hear some of the former slaves' stories for the first time ever, as told in their own voices."That was in slavery time," says Charlie Smith in one interview. "They sold the colored people. And they were bringing them from Africa. They brought me from Africa. I was a child."The Library of Congress released the collection of recordings, Voices from the Days of Slavery, in January. The recordings were made between 1932 and 1975. Speaking at least 60 years after their emancipation(解放), the storytellers discuss their experiences as slaves. They also tell about their lives as free men and women.Isom Moseley was just a boy at the time of emancipation, but he recalls that things were slow to change. "It was a year before the folks knowed they was free," he says.[黑人说英语有时不合语法,因此,这里他把knew说成了knowed, 把were 说成了was.]Michael Taft, the head of the library's archive of folk culture, says the recordings reveal something that written stories cannot. "The power of hearing someone speak is so much greater than reading something from the page," Taft says. "It's how something is said—the dialect, the low pitches, the pauses—that helps tell the story."21. What is new about the slaves' stories?A. They are told in the slaves' own voices.B. People travel around the world to hear them.C. Colored people were sold.D. They happened in the slavery time.22. What is the title of the collection of recordings?A. The End of the U.S. Civil WarB.

Their experiences as slaves and their lives as free men and women.25. The recordings differ from written stories in that ________.A. the tellers and the government are contributing togetherB. the dialect, the low pitches, and the pauses are more revealingC. the hearing and reading both help tell the storiesD. the power of watching someone write is more engagingQuestions 26-30 are based on the following announcement:26.

People 31 many kinds of autographs. Some collect signatures or other handwritten materials of authors, composers, movie stars, or sports heroes. Others focus on certain 32 such as the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a presidential election, or the space program. 33 collectors try to acquire a complete set of autographs of Novel Prize winners or Academy Award winners.Collectors may request autographs 34 celebrities either in person or by letter. Most beginning autograph collectors do not have the knowledge to determine 35 an autograph is genuine(真实的). They may mistake other kinds of signatures for 36 handwritten signatures. For example, some people have secretaries who sign their mail. Some individuals send out mass-produced letters or signed photographs to collectors who 37 their autographs.
