第1套
一.综合题(共25题)
1.单选题
My next husband will definitely be hen-pecked. Everyone laughably assumes my present one is, so I may as well have the advantage of exchanging illusion for reality.
This means he will be able to mend a fuse. Being good about the house is the essential ingredient of the manageable male. All these pretensions to having green fingers as an excuse for spending the morning in the sunshine and tramping in from the garden in muddy boots are really no substitute.
As a career woman, it has always been my dream to be married to a handyman. Women whose husbands are relaxed about raw plugs don't know what worry is. I would sleep peacefully at night with anyone who could tell a pair of pincers from a wire cutter. Apart from the blissful convenience;
I could really at last begin to live it up.
If you are buried in the depths of the country as I like to be whenever I can, it costs you a fiver just to have a bolt put on the shed door or to bribe the nearest plumber to come and look at a dripping tap. I calculate I could have a trip to the Solomon Islands every year out of the money we will save on the washers my new do-it-yourself paragon will whip on and off our taps.
My next husband will not say every time. I get out the travel brochures: "I do love England in the late summer; don't you think it would be nice to holiday at home? The garden is at its best then". I know what that means: staying up half the night cutting up his glut of runner beans for the deep freeze.
Being a handyman, he would, of course, be an expert cook. It would be he who would rustle up an omelette at midnight after a heavy day. And he would not believe that every cooking utensil in sight was expendable. I would never again have to curse the friend who once told
us that the only way to do steak was in a totally dry, red-hot frying-pan, I like charcoaled steak as much as anyone, but it comes expensive when it means charcoaling the entire kitchen too. I shall relinquish without regret the record I at present hold of being married to the only man in Britain who has ever managed to burn a boiled egg.
After long and mature consideration I have come to the conclusion that the next man I marry Will be a hairdresser. Any husband who cannot back-comb his wife's hair is not worth his salt. This will mean that I w ill be able to go into every serious T.V. discussion completely light-heartedly. It won't matter a damn what I talk about. My friends will all ring up to remark: "Saw you on T.V. last night, Your hair did look nice".
1.It can be concluded from the passage that the author's present husband （）
2.By giving the example of her husband's cooking steak, the author tries to prove his （）
3.The word "glut" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by （）
4.According to the author having green fingers sometimes （）
5.The tone of the phrase "After long and mature consideration" in the last paragraph can be identified as （）

每个人都认为我现在的丈夫就是一个妻管严，所以我想让这个幻想变成现实。

由此可知，作者的丈夫并不是一个妻管严，不够体贴。

由此可知，
作者的丈夫并不擅长烹饪，没有烹饪的天赋。

选项D ineptitude “愚笨”符合题意。

第3题:文章第五段最后一句I know what that means: staying up half the night cutting up his glut of runner beans for the deep freeze提到熬夜割除多余的红花菜豆，然后冷藏。

glut是“过多”的意思。

选项B符合题意。

Exuberance “茂盛”；excess “过多，过量”；myriad “无数”；flamboyance “华丽”。

第4题:文章第二段提到丈夫借口精通园艺，经常穿着脏兮兮的靴子，有时也会令人窘迫，所以选项A符合题意。

第5题:文章作者希望自己下任丈夫是个妻管严，接着还希望丈夫会干家务、会修理，最后决定要嫁给一个理发师，这些都是为了讽刺现实。

When he was so far out that he could look back not only on the little bay but past the stretch of rock that was between it and the seashore, he floated on the warm surface and looked for his mother. There she was a little yellow dot under an umbrella that looked like a piece of orange-skin. He swam back to shore, relieved at being sure she was there, but all at once very lonely.
On the other side of the bay was a loose scattering of rocks. Above them, some boys were stripping off their clothes. They came running, their bodies bare down to the rocks Jerry swam towards them and kept his distance a little way off. They were off that coast, all of them burned smooch dark brown and speaking a language he did not understand. To be with them, of them was a feeling that filled his whole body. He swam a little closer, they turned and watched him with narrowed, attentive dark cues. Then one smiled and waved. It was enough. In a minute he bad swum in and was on the rocks beside them, smiling with extreme nervousness. They shouted cheerful greetings at him, and then, as he preserved his nervous, puzzled a mile. They understood that he was a foreigner who had wandered from his own part of the sands, and they promptly forgot him. But he was happy. He was with them.
They began diving again and again from a high point into a well of blue sea between rough, pointed rocks. After they had dived and come up, they swam round pulled themselves up, and wailed their turn to dive again. They were big boys-men to Jerry. He dived and they watched him, and when he swam round to lake his place, they made way for him. He felt he was accepted, and he dived again, carefully, proud of himself.
Soon the biggest of the boys balanced himself, shot down into the water, and did not come up. The others stood about watching Jerry, after waiting for the smooth brown head to appear, let out a cry of warning; they looked at him idly and turned their eyes back towards the water. After a long lime, the boy came upon the other side of a big dark rock, letting the air escape suddenly from his lungs with much coughing and spiting, and giving a shout of satisfaction. Immediately, the rest of them dived in. One moment the morning seemed full of boys as noisy as crowd of monkeys, the next, the air and the surface of the water were empty. But through the heavy blue, dark shapes could be seen moving and searching.
Jerry dived, shot past the school of underwater swimmers, saw a black wall of rock towering over him touched it, and shop up at once to the surface, where the rock formed a low wall be could tee across. There was no one in sight; under him, in the water, the shadowy shapes of the swimmers has disappeared. Then one and then another of the boys came up on the far side of the wall of rock, and he understood that they had swum through some gap or hole in it. He dived down again. He could see nothing through the stinging salt water but the solid rock. When he came up, the boys were all on the diving rock, preparing to attempt the track again. And now, overcome with a sense of failure, be shouted up in English: “Look at me!” and he began splashing and kicking in the water like a foolish dog.

4.单选题
How many really suffer as a result of labor market problems? This is one of the most critical yet contentious social policy questions. In many ways, our social statistics exaggerate the degree of hardship. Unemployment does not have the same dire consequences today as it did
in the 1930’s when most of the unemployed were primary breadwinners, when income and earnings were usually much closer to the margin of subsistence, and when there were no countervailing social programs for those failing in the labor market. Increasing affluence, the rise of families with more than one wage earner, the growing predominance of secondary earners among the unemployed, and improved social welfare protection have unquestionably mitigated the consequences of joblessness. Earnings and income data also overstate the dimensions of hardship. Among the millions with hourly earnings at or below the minimum wage level, the overwhelming majority are from multiple-earner, relatively affluent families. Most of those counted by the poverty statistics are elderly or handicapped or have family responsibilities which keep them out of the labor force, so the poverty statistics are by no means an accurate indicator of labor market pathologies.
Yet there are also many ways our social statistics underestimate the degree of labor-market-related hardship. The unemployment counts exclude the millions of fully employed workers whose wages are so low that their families remain in poverty. Low wages and repeated or prolonged unemployment frequently interact to undermine the capacity for self-support. Since the number experiencing joblessness at some time during the year is several times the number unemployed in any month, those who suffer as a result of forced idleness can equal or exceed average annual unemployment, even though only a minority of the jobless in any month really suffer. For every person counted in the monthly unemployment tallies, there is another working part-time because of the inability to find full-time work, or else outside the labor force but wanting a job. Finally, income transfers in our country have always focused on the elderly, disabled, and dependent, neglecting the needs of the working poor, so that the dramatic expansion of cash and in-kind transfers does not necessarily mean that those failing in the labor market are adequately protected.
As a result of such contradictory evidence, it is uncertain whether those suffering seriously as a result of labor market problems number in the hundreds of thousands or the tens of millions, and， hence, whether high levels of joblessness can be tolerated or must be countered by job creation and economic stimulus. There is only one area of agreement in this debate that the existing poverty, employment, and earnings statistics are inadequate for one their primary applications, measuring the consequences of labor market problems. 1.Which of the following is the principal topic of the passage?
2.The author uses “labor market problems” in Line 1 to refer to which of the following?
3.Which of the following proposals best responds to the issues raised by the author?
4.The author states that the mitigating effect of social programs involving income transfers on the income level of low-income people is often not felt by（）.
5.According to the passage，one factor that causes unemployment and earnings figures to over-predict the amount of economic hardship is the （）.
问题1选项
A.What causes labor market pathologies that result in suffering.
B.Why income measures are imprecise in measuring degrees of poverty.
C.Where the areas of agreement are among poverty, employment, and earnings figures.
D.How social statistics give an unclear picture of the degree of hardship caused by low wages and
问题2选项
A.The overall causes of poverty.
B.Deficiencies in the training of the work force.
C.Trade relationships among producers of goods.
D.Shortages of jobs providing adequate income.
问题3选项
A.Innovative programs using multiple approaches should be set up to reduce the level of unemployment.
B.A compromise should be found between the positions of those who view joblessness as an evil greater than economic control and those who hold the opposite view.
C.New statistical indices should be developed to measure the degree to which unemployment and inadequately paid employment cause suffering.
D.Consideration should be given to the ways in which statistics can act as partial causes of the phenomena that they purport to measure.
问题4选项
A.the employed poor
B.dependent children in single-earner families
C.workers who become disabled
D.retired workers
问题5选项
A.recurrence of periods of unemployment for a group of low-wage workers
B.possibility that earnings may be received from more than one job per worker
C.fact that unemployment counts do not include those who work for low wages and remain poor
D.establishment of a system of record-keeping that makes it possible to compile poverty statistics
【答案】第1题:D
第2题:D
第3题:C
第4题:A
第5题:B
【解析】第1题:文章开头一句话How many really suffer as a result of labor market problems?引出话题。

作者主要讲述了劳动市场问题对社会所造成的冲击很难用数据体现。

全文从数据对社会问题的夸大和低估两个方面开始进行分析。

对各个段落进行分析可以知道选项D符合题意。

第2题:文章全文都在说劳动市场问题就是低工资和高就业率这两个问题。

导致贫困的原因不仅仅是劳动市场这个原因，选项A排除；选项B与C，“员工缺少训练”“生产者之间贸易关系”都没有提及，所以排除。

选项D符合题意。

第3题:从文章的开头和最后两句话可知作者认为目前面临的最大问题便是已有的统计数据不能估计出劳动市场问题所带来的具体影响，因此推断出新的统计方式迫在眉睫。

新的标准应该用来衡量失业和收入太少的职业。

选项C符合题意。

第4题:文章第二段最后一句话Finally, income transfers in our country have always focused on the elderly, disabled, and dependent, neglecting the needs of the working poor, so that the dramatic expansion of cash and in-kind transfers does not necessarily mean that those failing in the labor market are adequately protected. 提到从首付分配转移中得利的是老人、残疾人还有需要赡养的人，而那些工作的穷人则被忽视了。

选项A符合题意。

第5题:从文章中这句话Among the millions with hourly earnings at or below the minimum wage level, the overwhelming majority are from multiple-earner, relatively affluent families. 可以看出有些人虽然单份工作的工资不高，但是他们身兼数职，收入不低。

选项A与C会让人低估社会的贫困问题，题干中的over-predict是高估的意思，所以这两个选项排除。

选项D原文没有提及。

所以选项B符合题意。

8.填空题
Here is a great irony of 21st-century global public health: While many hundreds of millions of people lack adequate food as a result of economic inequities, political corruption, or warfare, many hundreds of millions（1）are overweight to the point of increased risk for diet-related chronic diseases. Obesity is a worldwide phenomenon, affecting children as well as adults and forcing all but the poorest countries to divert scarce resources （2） from food security to take care of people with preventable heart disease and diabetes.
To reverse the obesity epidemic, we must address fundamental causes. Overweight comes from consuming more food energy than （3） expended in activity. The cause of this imbalance also is ironic: improved prosperity. People use extra income to eat more and be less active. Market economies encourage this. They turn people with expendable income into consumers of aggressively marketed foods that are high in energy but low in （4）value, and of cars, television sets, and computers that promote sedentary behavior. Gaining weight is good for business. Food is particularly big business because everyone eats.
Moreover, food is so overproduced that many countries, especially the rich ones, have far more than they need ---（5） irony. In the United States, to take an extreme example, most adults of all ages, incomes, educational levels, and census categories—are overweight. The U.S. food supply provides 3800 kilocalories per person per day, nearly twice as much as required by many adults. Over abundant food forces companies to compete （6） sales through
advertising, health claims, new products, larger portions, and campaigns （7） toward children. Food marketing promotes weight gain. Indeed, it is difficult to think （8） any major industry that might benefit if people ate less food; certainly （9） the agriculture, food product, grocery, restaurant, diet, or drug industries. All flourish when people eat more, and all employ amides of lobbyists to discourage governments from doing anything to inhibit （10）.

5.another
6.for

9.not
10.overeating
【解析】1.考查前后逻辑。

空格处所在句子的句意是：当成千上万的人由于经济不平衡、政治腐败和战争而饿肚子时，还有成千上万的人超重。

前后进行对比，说明超重的人更多，所以more符合题意。

2.考查固定搭配。

divert away“转移”。

空格处所在句子的句意是：肥胖是一个世界性的普遍现象，它对大人孩子都有影响，它迫使除了最贫穷的国家外的所有国家把稀有资源从食品安全上转移到了照顾患有可预防的心脏病和糖尿病的人们。

3.考查动词的用法。

空格处所在句子的句意是：超重源于摄入的食物能量超过了被消耗的能量。

分析句子结构可知，为了避免重复，than后面省略了energy that，完整的句子应该是energy that is expended。

4.考查前后逻辑。

空格处所在句子的句意是：他们把具有消费水平的人变为疯狂购买食物的消费者，这些食物通常能量很高，营养价值很低。

nutritional 符合题意。

5.考查前后逻辑。

空格处所在句子的句意是：此外，食物被过量生产，尤其是发达国家拥有的食物远远超过他们所需要的食物--这又是一件具有讽刺意义的事。

前面已经提到过一件讽刺的事the cause of this imbalance also is ironic: improved prosperity，因此another符合题意。

6.考查动词短语。

空格处所在句子的句意为：过量的食物使各大公司为销售而进行竞争。

compete for “为……而竞争”。

7.考查后置定语。

空格处所在句子的句意是：各大公司为了竞争，采用的手段有：广告，健康宣言，推出新产品，加量包装，还有直接针对孩子的活动。

空格处所在的单词显然是用来修饰campaigns 这个单词的，应该填一个过去分词来作后置定语，direct toward 表示针对……。

8.考查固定搭配。

think of“想出”。

9.考查前后逻辑。

空格处所在句子的句意是：农业、食品、杂货店、饭店、减肥业或制药业都不会获益。

所以此处是一个否定的意思，not符合题意。

10.考查动词的用法。

空格处所在句子的句意是：人们吃得多时，所有行业都会发展繁荣，所有行业都花钱请游说者去劝政府不要采取任何措施禁止过度饮食（overeat）。

reflect “反映”；catch “赶上，抓住”；deflect “使转向；转移”；reduce “减少”。
