For each question there are four answers marked [A], [B], [C]and [D]. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Then mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1 by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets with a pencil. (40 points)Passage 1It’s a rough world out there. Step outside and you could break a leg slipping on your doormat. Light up the stove and you could burn down the house. Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles. Or so thethinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfortunes.Feeling threatened, companies responded by writing ever longer warning labels, trying to anticipate every possible accident. Today, stepladders carry labels several inches long that warn, among other things, that you might—surprise!—fall off. The label on a child’s Batman cape cautions that the toy “does not enable user to fly”.While warnings are often appropriate and necessary—the dangers of drug interactions, for example—and many are required by state or federal regulations, it isn’t clear that they actu ally protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured. About 50 percent of the companies lose when injured customers take them to court.Now the tide appears to be turning. As personal injury claims continue as before, some courts are beginning to side with defendants, especially in cases where a warning label probably wouldn’t have changed anything. In May, Julie Nimmons, president of Schutt Sports in Illinois, successfully fought a lawsuit involving a football player who was paralyzed in a game while wearing a Schutt helmet. “We’re really sorry he has become paralyzed, but helmets aren’t designed to prevent those kinds of injuries, ” says Nimmons. The jury agreed that the nature of the game, not the helmet, was the reason for t he athlete’s injury. At the same time, the American Law Institute—a group of judges, lawyers, and academics whose recommendations carry substantial weight—issued new guidelines for tort law stating that companies need not warn customers of obvious dangers or bombard them with a lengthy list of possible ones. “Important information can get buried in a sea of trivialities, ” says a law professor at Cornell Law School who helped draft the new guidelines. If the moderate end of the legal community has its way, the information on products might actually be provided for the benefit of customers and not as protection against legal liability.11. What were things like in 1980s when accidents happened?[A]Customers might be relieved of their disasters through lawsuits.[B]Injured customers could expect protection from the legal system.[C]Companies would avoid being sued by providing new warnings.[D]Juries tended to find fault with the compensations companies promised.12. Manufacturers as mentioned in the passage tend to.[A]satisfy customers by writing long warnings on products[B]become honest in describing the inadequacies of their products[C]make the best use of labels to avoid legal liability[D]feel obliged to view customers’safety as their first concern13. The case of Schutt helmet demonstrated that.[A]some injury claims were no longer supported by law[B]helmets were not designed to prevent injuries[C]product labels would eventually be discarded[D]some sports games might lose popularity with athletes14. The author’s attitude towards the issue seems to be.[A]biased [B]indifferent [C]puzzling [D]objectivePassage 2In the first year or so of Web business, most of the action has revolved around efforts to tap the consumer market. More recently, as the Web proved to be more than a fashion, companies have started to buy and sell products and services with one another. Such business to business sales make sense because business people typically know what product they’re looking for.Nonetheless, many companies still hesitate to use the Web because of doubts about its reliability. “Businesses need to feel they can trust the pathway between them and the supplier,” says senior analyst Blane Erwin of Forrester Research. Some companies are limiting the risk by conducting online transactions only with established business partners who are given access to the company’s private intranet.Another major shift in the model for Internet commerce concerns the technology available for marketing. Unt il recently, Internet marketing activities have focused on strategies to “pull” customers into sites. In the past year, however, software companies have developed tools that allow companies to “push” information directly out to consumers, transmitting mark eting messages directly to targeted customers. Most notably, the Pointcast Network uses a screen saver to deliver a continually updated stream of news and advertisements to subscribers’ computer monitors. Subscribers can customize the information they want to receive and proceed directly to a company’s Web site. Companies such as Virtual Vineyards are already starting to use similar technologies to push messages to customers about special sales, product offerings, or other events. But push technology has earned the contempt of many Web users. Online culture thinks highly of the notion that the information flowing onto the screen comes there by specific request. Once commercial promotion begins to fill the screen uninvited, the distinction between the Web and television fades. That’s a prospect that horrifies Net purists.But it is hardly inevitable that companies on the Web will need to resort to push strategies to make money. The examples of Virtual Vineyards, Amazon .com, and other pioneers show that a Web site selling the right kind of products with the right mix of interactivity, hospitality, and security will attract online customers. And the cost of computing power continues to free fall, which is a good sign for any enterprise setting up shop in silicon. People looking back 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so few companies took the online plunge.15. We learn from the beginning of the passage that Web business.[A]has been striving to expand its market[B]intended to follow a fanciful fashion[C]tried but in vain to control the market[D]has been booming for one year or so16. Speaking of the online technology available for marketing, the author implies that.[A]the technology is popular with many Web users[B]businesses have faith in the reliability of online transactions[C]there is a radical change in strategy[D]it is accessible limitedly to established partners17. In the view of Net purists, .[A]there should be no marketing messages in online culture[B]money making should be given priority to on the Web[C]the Web should be able to function as the television set[D]there should be no online commercial information without requests18. We learn from the last paragraph that.[A]pushing information on the Web is essential to Internet commerce[B]interactivity, hospitality and security are important to online customers[C]leading companies began to take the online plunge decades ago[D]setting up shops in silicon is independent of the cost of computing powerPassage 3An invisible border divides those arguing for computers in the classroom on the behalf of students’ career prospects and those arguing for computers in the classroom for broader reasons of radical educational reform. Very few writers on the subject have explored this distinction—indeed, contradiction—which goes to the heart of what is wrong with the campaign to put computers in the classroom.An education that aims at getting a student a certain kind of job is a technical education, justified for reasons radically different from why education is universally required by law. It is not simply to raise everyone’s job prospects that all children are legally required to attend school into their teens. Rather, we have a certain conception of the American citizen, a character who is incomplete if he cannot competently assess how his livelihood and happiness are affected by things outside of himself. But this was not always the case; before it was legally required for all children to attend school until a certain age, it was widely accepted that some were just not equipped by nature to pursue this kind of education. With optimism characteristic of all industrialized countries, we came to accept that everyone is fit to be educated. Computer education advocates forsake this optimistic notion for a pessimism that betrays their otherwise cheery outlook. Banking on the confusion between educational and vocational reasons for bringing computers into schools, computered advocates often emphasize the job prospects of graduates over their educational achievement.There are some good arguments for a technical education given the right kind of student. Many European schools introduce the concept of professional training early on in order to make sure children are properly equipped for the professions they want to join. It is, however, presumptuous to insist that there will only be so many jobs for so many scientists, so many businessmen, so many accountants. Besides, this is unlikely to produce the needed number of every kind of professional in a country as large as ours and where the economy is spread over so many states and involves so many international corporations.But, for a small group of students, professional training might be the way to go since well developed skills, all other factors being equal, can be the difference between having a job and not. Of course, the basics of using any computer these days are very simple. It does not take a lifelong acquaintance to pick up various software programs. If one wanted to become a computer engineer, that is, of course, an entirely different story. Basic computer skills take—at the very longest—a couple of months to learn. In any case, basic computer skills are only complementary to the host of real skills that are necessary to becoming any kind of professional. It should be observed, of course, that no school, vocational or not, is helped by a confusion over its purpose.19. The author thinks the present rush to put computers in the classroom is.[A]far reaching [B]dubiously oriented[C]self contradictory [D]radically reformatory20. The belief that education is indispensable to all children.[A]is indicative of a pessimism in disguise[B]came into being along with the arrival of computers[C]is deeply rooted in the minds of computer ed advocates[D]originated from the optimistic attitude of industrialized countries21. It could be inferred from the passage that in the author’s country the European model of professional training is.[A]dependent upon the starting age of candidates[B]worth trying in various social sections[C]of little practical value[D]attractive to every kind of professional22. According to the author, basic computer skills should be.[A]included as an auxiliary course in school[B]highlighted in acquisition of professional qualifications[C]mastered through a life long course[D]equally emphasized by any school, vocational or otherwisePassage 4When a Scottish research team startled the world by revealing 3 months ago that it had cloned an adult sheep, President Clinton moved swiftly. Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment—although no one had proposed to do so—and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning. That group—the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC)—has been working feverishly to put its wisdom on paper, and at a meeting on 17 May, members agreed on a near final draft of their recommendations.NBAC will ask that Clinton’s 90day ban on federal funds for human cloning be extended indefinitely, and possibly that it be made law. But NBAC members are planning to word the recommendation narrowly to avoid new restrictions on research that involves the cloning of human DNA or cells—routine in molecular biology. The panel has not yet reached agreement on a crucial question, however, whether to recommend legislation that would make it a crime for private funding to be used for human cloning.In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consen sus that it would be “morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning.” Shapiro explained during the meeting that the moral doubt stems mainly from fears about the risk to the health of the child. The panel then informally accepted several general conclusions, although some details have not been settled.NBAC plans to call for a continued ban on federal government funding for any attempt to clone body cell nuclei to create a child. Because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds to create embryos (the earliest stage of human offspring before birth) for research or to knowingly endanger an embryo’s life, NBAC will remain silent on embryo research.NBAC members also indicated that they would appeal to privately funded researchers and clinics not to try to clone humans by body cell nuclear transfer. But they were divided on whetherto go further by calling for a federal law that would impose a complete ban on human cloning. Shapiro and most members favored an appeal for such legislation, but in a phone interview, he said this issue was still “up in the air”.23. We can learn from the first paragraph that.[A]federal funds have been used in a project to clone humans[B]the White House responded strongly to the news of cloning[C]NBAC was authorized to control the misuse of cloning technique[D]the White House has got the panel’s recommendations on cloning24. The panel agreed on all of the following except that.[A]the ban on federal funds for human cloning should be made a law[B]the cloning of human DNA is not to be put under more control[C]it is criminal to use private funding for human cloning[D]it would be against ethical values to clone a human being25. NBAC will leave the issue of embryo research undiscussed because.[A]embryo research is just a current development of cloning[B]the health of the child is not the main concern of embryo research[C]an embryo’s life will not be endangered in embryo research[D]the issue is explicitly stated and settled in the law26. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that.[A]some NBAC members hesitate to ban human cloning completely[B] a law banning human cloning is to be passed in no time[C]privately funded researchers will respond positively to NBAC’s appeal[D]the issue of human cloning will soon be settledPassage 5Science, in practice, depends far less on the experiments it prepares than on the preparedness of the minds of the men who watch the experiments. Sir Isaac Newton supposedly discovered gravity through the fall of an apple. Apples had been falling in many places for centuries and thousands of people had seen them fall. But Newton for years had been curious about the cause of the orbital motion of the moon and planets. What kept them in place? Why didn’t they fall out of the sky? The fact that the apple fell down toward the earth and not up into the tree answered the question he had been asking himself about those larger fruits of the heavens, the moon and the planets.How many men would have considered the possibility of an apple falling up into the tree? Newton did because he was not trying to predict anything. He was just wondering. His mind was ready for the unpredictable. Unpredictability is part of the essential nature of res earch. If you don’t have unpredictable things, you don’t have research. Scientists tend to forget this when writing their cut and dried reports for the technical journals, but history is filled with examples of it.In talking to some scientists, particularly younger ones, you might gather the impression that they find the “scientific method” a substitute for imaginative thought. I’ve attended research conferences where a scientist has been asked what he thinks about the advisability of continuing a certain experiment. The scientist has frowned, looked at the graphs, and said, “the data are still inconclusive.” “We know that,” the men from the budget office have said, “but what do you think?Is it worthwhile going on? What do you think we might expect?” The s cientist has been shocked at having even been asked to speculate.What this amounts to, of course, is that the scientist has become the victim of his own writings. He has put forward unquestioned claims so consistently that he not only believes them himself, but has convinced industrial and business management that they are true. If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents. It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe that scientists who know exactly where they are going and how they will get there should not be distracted by the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register while the other eye is on the microscope. Nor, if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect, is management to be blamed for discriminating against the “odd balls” among researchers in favor of more conventional thinkers who “work well with the team”.27. The author wants to prove with the example of Isaac Newton that.[A]inquiring minds are more important than scientific experiments[B]science advances when fruitful researches are conducted[C]scientists seldom forget the essential nature of research[D]unpredictability weighs less than prediction in scientific research28. The author asserts that scientists.[A]shouldn’t replace “scientific method”with imaginative thought[B]shouldn’t neglect to speculate on unpredictable things[C]should write more concise reports for technical journals[D]should be confident about their research findings29. It seems that some young scientists.[A]have a keen interest in prediction[B]often speculate on the future[C]think highly of creative thinking[D]stick to “scientific method”30. The author implies that the results of scientific research.[A]may not be as profitable as they are expected[B]can be measured in dollars and cents[C]rely on conformity to a standard pattern[D]are mostly underestimated by managementPart ⅢEnglish Chinese TranslationDirections:Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation must be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (15 points)31)While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practice most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past. Caught in the web of its own time and place, each generation of historians determines anew what is significant for it in the past. In this search the evidence found is always incomplete and scattered; it is also frequently partial or partisan. The irony of thehistorian’s craft is that its practitioners always know that their efforts are but contributions to an unending process.32)Interest in historical methods has arisen less through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline and more from internal quarrels among historians themselves. While history once revered its affinity to literature and philosophy, the emerging social sciences seemed to afford greater opportunities for asking new questions and providing rewarding approaches to an understanding of the past. Social science methodologies had to be adapted to a discipline governed by the primacy of historical sources rather than the imperatives of the contemporary world. 33)During this transfer, traditional historical methods were augmented by additional methodologies designed to interpret the new forms of evidence in the historical study.Methodology is a term that remains inherently ambiguous in the historical profession. 34)There is no agreement whether methodology refers to the concepts peculiar to historical work in general or to the research techniques appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry. Historians, especially those so blinded by their research interests that they have been accused of “tunnel method,” frequently fall victim to the “technical fallacy.” Also common in the natural sciences, the technicist fallacy mistakenly identifies the discipline as a whole with certain parts of its technical implementation.35)It applies equally to traditional historians who view history as only the external and internal criticism of sources, and to social science historians who equate their activity with specific techniques.Section ⅣWriting(15 points)36.

Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Put your choice in the brackets on the left. (10 points)Text 1There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists.” And these “generalists” are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly tec hnical or professional. The generalist -- and especially the administrator -- deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you -- but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26. There is an increasing demand for ________.[A] all round people in their own fields[B] people whose job is to organize other people’s work[C] generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional[D] specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27. The specialist is ________.[A] a man whose job is to train other people[B] a man who has been trained in more than one fields[C] a man who can see the forest rather than the trees[D] a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28. The administrator is ________.[A] a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalist[B] a man who sees the trees as well as the forest[C] a man who is very strong in the humanities[D] a man who is an “educated” specialist29. During your training period, it is important ________.[A] to try to be a generalist[B] to choose a profitable job[C] to find an organization which fits you[D] to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist30. A man’s first job ________.[A] is never the right job for him[B] should not be regarded as his final job[C] should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job[D] is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobTest 2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to man. It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. Man has explored, on foot, less than one per cent of its area. Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world -- the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre, thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions. This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia -- a region rich in forest and mining industries. Apart from a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry, or settlement.31. The best title for this selection would be ________.[A] Iceland[B] Land of Opportunity[C] The Unknown Continent[D] Utopia at Last32. At the time this article was written, our knowledge of Antarctica was ________.[A] very limited[B] vast[C] fairly rich[D] nonexistent33. Antarctica is bordered by the ________.[A] Pacific Ocean[B] Indian Ocean[C] Atlantic Ocean[D] All three34. The Antarctic is made uninhabitable primarily by ________.[A] cold air[B] calm seas[C] ice[D] lack of knowledge about the continent35. According to this article ________.[A] 2,000 people live on the Antarctic Continent[B] a million people live within 2,000 miles of the South Pole[C] weather conditions within a 2,000 mile radius of the South Pole make settlementsimpractical[D] only a handful of natives inhabit AntarcticaSection IV: Structure and VocabularyFill in the blanks with the words which best complete the sentences.

Conveniences of the city2. Attractions of the country3. Disadvantages of both4. My preference审题谋篇提纲第一、二项分别要求讨论城市和乡村各自的优点,第三项要求讨论各自的缺点,显然,对照的写作方法最为合适。
第四项要求做出自己的选择,这实际上是对前面讨论的一个总结。
按照所给提纲,文章自然分成四段。
参考范文Many people appreciate the conveniences of the city. With so many supermarkets, shopping malls and recreation facilities within easy reach, for example, city dwellers find it easy to enjoy themselves. Also, they are well-informed and have access to better education and better job opportunities. Besides, the city has better transportation service and health care. So, those who live in cities tend to have better sense of security.But country life is also attractive. With the fresh air, the green trees and the singing birds, country people are close to nature and live a quiet life. They can enjoy the peace and calmness of the pastoral environment there. They can easily make friends with the warmhearted and honestpeople there.Both the country and the city, however, have their own disadvantages. Cities are being tortured by many problems, such as heavy traffic and serious pollution. And urban citizens are often under pressure. As for rural inhabitants, they may find life far from being convenient, colorful or vigorous.As far as I'm concerned, I hate the hustle and bustle of the city. I like the peace and beauty of the country. As to the inconveniences, countryside in China is undergoing great changes, leaving more and more disadvantages behind. So, given the chance, I would prefer to live in the country.范文点评总体分析:由于从所给材料中较容易确定文章的层次和段落结构,所以,应该在表达上多下功夫。

1994年试题与分析Section ⅡReading ComprehensionPassage 1一、文章结构总体分析本文是一篇介绍美国经济结构的文章,主要论述美国的经济以私营企业为基础、以市场经济为导向。
文中反复出现的中心词组是private-enterprise, market-oriented economy system (in America)。
第一段:首句是全文的主题,即主要讨论美国经济体制的特点是通过私有企业和市场导向起调节作用。
末句是该段的主题——它将全文中心思想换了一种方式表达,分析和指出消费者的需求、企业家对最大利润的追求和个人对收入取得最大收益的渴望——这三个因素共同决定着生产什么和如何使用资源进行生产。
第二段:主题词是price system,首句是该段的主题句,说明市场导向型经济的重要特点之一是价格机制。
第三段:说明私营经济的性质和特点,即财产私有,同时还拥有相关权利。
二、试题分析[答案] D[解析]本题考核的知识点是:句题题。
先定位到第一段末句。
解题的关键是看对maximize的理解。
原文所在句“coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes”将生产者和消费者的愿望对照来说。
句中的两个maximize平衡并列,作用、意义完全相同。
因此知道maximize在第一处的意义即可知道第二处之意。
众所周知,商人总是想用最少的投入取得最大的利润,这就是maximize的意义。
由此可知,消费者希望使一定的收入取得最大限度的效益,即用现有收入买到更多更好的商品。
而[D]选项恰是此意。
[A]和[B]选项未在原文提及。
[C]选项反映的是劳资双方的关系,而不是生产者与消费者之间的关系。
[答案] D[解析] 本题考核的知识点是:事实细节题。

III Reading ComprehensionEach of the two passages below is followed by five questions.For each question there are four answers.Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.Put your choice in the brackets on the left.(10points)Text1There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization.Youfind these careers in engineering,in production,in statistical work,and in teaching.But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance,people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field.There is,in other words,a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees,of making general judgments.We can call these people“generalists.”And these“generalists”are particularly needed for positions in administration,where it is their job to see that other people do the work,where they have to plan for other people,to organize other people’s work,to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field;his concern is with technique and tools.He is a “trained”man;and his educational background is properly technical or professional.The generalist--and especially the administrator--deals with people;his concern is with leadership, with planning,and with direction giving.He is an“educated”man;and the humanities are his strongest foundation.Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator.And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field.Any organization needs both kinds of people,though different organizations need them in different proportions.It is your task to find out,during your training period,into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit,and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you--but this is pure accident.Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job.At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job;it is primarily a training job,an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26.There is an increasing demand for________.[A]all round people in their own fields[B]people whose job is to organize other people’s work[C]generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional[D]specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27.The specialist is________.[A]a man whose job is to train other people[B]a man who has been trained in more than one fields[C]a man who can see the forest rather than the trees[D]a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28.The administrator is________.[A]a“trained”man who is more a specialist than a generalist[B]a man who sees the trees as well as the forest[C]a man who is very strong in the humanities[D]a man who is an“educated”specialist29.During your training period,it is important________.[A]to try to be a generalist[B]to choose a profitable job[C]to find an organization which fits you[D]to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist30.A man’s first job________.[A]is never the right job for him[B]should not be regarded as his final job[C]should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job[D]is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobText2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and,until recent times,unknown to man.It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain.Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps.Man has explored,on foot,less than one per cent of its area.Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions.The Arctic is an ocean,covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe,Asia,and North America.The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined,centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world--the Atlantic,Pacific,and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre,thus,the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions.This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited.Thus,more than a million persons live within2,000miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska,Siberia,and Scandinavia--a region rich in forest and mining industries.Apart from a handful of weather stations,within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry,or settlement.31.The best title for this selection would be________.[A]Iceland[B]Land of Opportunity[C]The Unknown Continent[D]Utopia at Last32.At the time this article was written,our knowledge of Antarctica was________.[A]very limited[B]vast[C]fairly rich[D]nonexistent33.Antarctica is bordered by the________.[A]Pacific Ocean[B]Indian Ocean[C]Atlantic Ocean[D]All three34.The Antarctic is made uninhabitable primarily by________.[A]cold air[B]calm seas[C]ice[D]lack of knowledge about the continent35.According to this article________.[A]2,000people live on the Antarctic Continent[B]a million people live within2,000miles of the South Pole[C]weather conditions within a2,000mile radius of the South Pole make settlementsimpractical[D]only a handful of natives inhabit AntarcticaSection IV Structure and VocabularyFill in the blanks with the words which best complete the sentences.Put your choices in the brackets on the left.(10points)EXAMPLE:It was the largest experiment we have ever had;it________six houses.[A]ended[B]finished[C]was[D]lastedANSWER:[D]36.Music often________us of events in the past.[A]remembers[B]memorizes[C]reminds[D]reflects37.If I take this medicine twice a day it should________my cold.[A]heat[C]treat[D]recover38.I could just see a car in the distance,but I

张剑黄皮书历年考研英语真题解析及命题特点和规律
第一部分英语知识运用部分命题的特点和规律一、英语知识运用部分总体分析2002年《大纲》将“完形填空”调整为“英语知识运用”之后明确规定:英语知识运用测试的要点是词汇、语法和结构。
英语知识运用采用多项选择完形填空(Multiple Choice Cloze Test)的形式来考查。
完形填空(Cloze)又称综合填空或短文填空,出现于20世纪50年代西方语言测试的实践中,1956年被应用于外语测试。
在我国用于英语测试则是从20世纪70年代开始的。
完形填空是用来测试考生的基础知识和语言运用能力的一种题型,对考生的语法结构、词义搭配和阅读理解能力进行综合考查(measuring overall ability)。
完形填空的设计和应用,是基于格式塔心理学(Gestalt Psychology)和心理语言学(Psycholinguistics)的理论:人们在感知、认知事物的时候,总是以整体信息为主的。
尽管有时获得的信息并不十分完整,但人们会下意识地将不完整的部分补全,构成一副完整的图画来认知。
举例来说,当我们看到图1和图2时,我们会自然地把它们分别看做是一个圆和一个三角形,而不是一段曲线和三个点。
图1 图2同样,在语言表达和理解的过程中,也需要理解信息的整体。
尽管其中有一些词或短语被抽去,但通过语段提供的冗余信息,人们仍然能够推知被抽去的信息,从而达到对文章的理解。
根据这一原理,命题人使用完形填空这一种题型——从一篇短文中删去一些信息,留出空格,由考生补全——来考查语言知识和语言综合运用的能力。
(一)英语知识运用部分命题的基本指导思想英语知识运用部分命题的指导思想是:通过完形填空的形式不仅考查考生对于不同语境中规范的语言要素(包括词汇、表达方式和语法结构)的运用能力,而且还考查考生对语段特征(如连贯性和一致性等)的辨识能力。
这就意味着“英语知识运用”部分的试题由过去注重对单句语言点的考查向对语篇能力(discourse competence)的考查转移,这一考查重心的转移要求考生能够对不同语境中语言使用的规范性、得体性和篇章特征有较强的辨识能力。

Step outside and you could break a leg slipping on your doormat. Light up the stove and you could burn down the house. Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles. Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers’ misfo rtunes.Feeling threatened, companies responded by writing ever-longer warning labels, trying to anticipate every possible accident. Today,stepladders carry labels several inches long that warn, among other things, that you might -- surprise! -- fall off. The label on a child’s Batman capecautions that the toy “does not enable user to fly.”While warnings are often appropriate and necessary -- the dangers of drug interactions, for example -- and many are required by state or federal regulations, it isn’t clear that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured. About 50 percent of the companies lose when injured customers take them to court.Now the tide appears to be turning. As personal injury claims continue as before, some courts are beginning to side with defendants, especially in cases where a warning label probably wouldn’t have changed anything. In May, Julie Nimmons, president of Schutt Sports in Illinois, successfully fought a lawsuit involving a football player who was paralyzed in a game while wearing a Schutt helmet. “We’re really sorry he has become paralyzed, but helmets aren’t designed to prevent those kinds of injuries,” says Nimmons. The jury agreed that the natur e of the game, not the helmet, was the reason for the athlete’s injury. At the same time, the American Law Institute -- a group of judges, lawyers, and academics whose recommendations carry substantial weight -- issued new guidelines for tort law stating that companies need not warn customers of obvious dangers or bombard them with a lengthy list of possible ones. “Important information can get buried in a sea of trivialities,” says a law professor at Cornell law School who helped draft the new guidelines. If the moderate end of the legal community has its way, the information on products might actually be provided for the benefit of customers and not as protection against legal liability.51. What were things like in 1980s when accidents happened?[A] Customers might be relieved of their disasters through lawsuits.[B] Injured customers could expect protection from the legal system.[C] Companies would avoid being sued by providing new warnings.[D] Juries tended to find fault with the compensations companiespromised.52. Manufacturers as mentioned in the passage tend to ________.[A] satisfy customers by writing long warnings on products[B] become honest in describing the inadequacies of their products[C] make the best use of labels to avoid legal liability[D] feel obliged to view customers’ safety as their first concern53. The case of Schutt helmet demonstrated that ________.[A] some injury claims were no longer supported by law[B] helmets were not designed to prevent injuries[C] product labels would eventually be discarded[D] some sports games might lose popularity with athletes54. The author’s attitude towards the issue seems to be ________.[A] biased[B] indifferent[C] puzzling[D] objectiveText 2In the first year or so of Web business, most of the action has revolved around efforts to tap the consumer market. More recently, as the Web proved to be more than a fashion, companies have started to buy and sell products and services with one another. Such business-to-business sales make sense because businesspeople typically know what product they’re looking for.Nonetheless, many companies still hesitate to use the Web because of doubts about its reliability. “Businesses need to feel they can trust th e pathway between them and the supplier,” says senior analyst Blane Erwin of Forrester Research. Some companies are limiting the risk by conducting online transactions only with established business partners who are given access to the company’s private in tranet.Another major shift in the model for Internet commerce concerns the technology available for marketing. Until recently, Internet marketing activities have focused on strategies to “pull” customers into sites. In the past year, however, software companies have developed tools that allow companies to “push” information directly out to consumers, transmitting marketing messages directly to targeted customers. Most notably, the Pointcast Network uses a screen saver to deliver a continually updated stream of news and advertisements to subscribers’ computer monitors. Subscribers can customize the information they want to receive and proceed directly to a company’s Web site. Companies such as Virtual Vineyards are already starting to use similar technologies to push messages to customers about special sales, product offerings, or other events. But push technology has earned the contempt of many Web users. Online culture thinks highly of the notion that the information flowing onto the screen comes there by specific request. Once commercial promotion begins to fill the screen uninvited, the distinction between the Web and television fades. That’s a prospect that horrifies Netpurists.But it is hardly inevitable that companies on the Web will need to resort to push strategies to make money. The examples of Virtual Vineyards, , and other pioneers show that a Web site selling the right kind of products with the right mix of interactivity, hospitality, and security will attract online customers. And the cost of computing power continues to free fall, which is a good sign for any enterprise setting up shop in silicon. People looking back 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so few companies took the online plunge.55. We learn from the beginning of the passage that Web business________.[A] has been striving to expand its market[B] intended to follow a fanciful fashion[C] tried but in vain to control the market[D] has been booming for one year or so56. Speaking of the online technology available for marketing, theauthor implies that ________.[A] the technology is popular with many Web users[B] businesses have faith in the reliability of online transactions[C] there is a radical change in strategy[D] it is accessible limitedly to established partners57. In the view of Net purists, ________.[A] there should be no marketing messages in online culture[B] money making should be given priority to on the Web[C] the Web should be able to function as the television set[D] there should be no online commercial information withoutrequests58. We learn from the last paragraph that ________.[A] pushing information on the Web is essential to Internet commerce[B] interactivity, hospitality and security are important to onlinecustomers[C] leading companies began to take the online plunge decades ago[D] setting up shops in silicon is independent of the cost ofcomputing powerText 3An invisible border divides those arguing for computers in theclassroom on the behalf of students’ career prospects and those arguing for computers in the classroom for broader reasons of radical educational reform. Very few writers on the subject have explored this distinction -- indeed, contradiction -- which goes to the heart of what is wrong with the campaign to put computers in the classroom.An education that aims at getting a student a certain kind of job is a technical education, justified for reasons radically different from why education is universally required by law. It is not simply to raise everyone’s job prospects that all children are legally required to attend school into their teens. Rather, we have a certain conception of the American citizen, a character who is incomplete if he cannot competently assess how his livelihood and happiness are affected by things outside of himself. But this was not always the case; before it was legally required for all children to attend school until a certain age, it was widely accepted that some were just not equipped by nature to pursue this kind of education. With optimism characteristic of all industrialized countries, we came to accept that everyone is fit to be educated. Computer-education advocates forsake this optimistic notion for a pessimism that betrays their otherwise cheery outlook. Banking on the confusion between educational and vocational reasons for bringing computers into schools, computered advocates often emphasize the job prospects of graduates over their educational achievement.There are some good arguments for a technical education given the right kind of student. Many European schools introduce the concept of professional training early on in order to make sure children are properly equipped for the professions they want to join. It is, however, presumptuous to insist that there will only be so many jobs for so many scientists, so many businessmen, so many accountants. Besides, this is unlikely to produce the needed number of every kind of professional in a country as large as ours and where the economy is spread over so many states and involves so many international corporations.But, for a small group of students, professional training might be the way to go since well-developed skills, all other factors being equal, can be the difference between having a job and not. Of course, the basics of using any computer these days are very simple. It does not take a lifelong acquaintance to pick up various software programs. If one wanted to become a computer engineer, that is, of course, an entirely different story. Basic computer skills take -- at the very longest -- a couple of months to learn. In any case, basic computer skills are only complementary to the host of real skills that are necessary to becoming any kind of professional. It should be observed, of course, that no school, vocational or not, is helped by a confusion over its purpose.59. The author thinks the present rush to put computers in the classroomis ________.[A] far-reaching[B] dubiously oriented[C] self-contradictory[D] radically reformatory60. The belief that education is indispensable to all children ________.[A] is indicative of a pessimism in disguise[B] came into being along with the arrival of computers[C] is deeply rooted in the minds of computered advocates[D] originated from the optimistic attitude of industrializedcountries61. It could be inferred from the passage that in the author’s countrythe European model of professional training is ________.[A] dependent upon the starting age of candidates[B] worth trying in various social sections[C] of little practical value[D] attractive to every kind of professional62. According to the author, basic computer skills should be ________.[A] included as an auxiliary course in school[B] highlighted in acquisition of professional qualifications[C] mastered through a life-long course[D] equally emphasized by any school, vocational or otherwiseText 4When a Scottish research team startled the world by revealing 3 months ago that it had cloned an adult sheep, President Clinton moved swiftly. Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment -- although no one had proposed to do so -- and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning. That group -- the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) -- has been working feverishly to put its wisdom on paper, and at a meeting on 17 May, members agreed on a near-final draft of their recommendations.NBAC will ask that Clinton’s 90-day ban on federal funds for human cloning be extended indefinitely, and possibly that it be made law. But NBAC members are planning to word the recommendation narrowly to avoidnew restrictions on research that involves the cloning of human DNAor cells -- routine in molecular biology. The panel has not yet reached agreement on a crucial question, however, whether to recommend legislation that would make it a crime for private funding to be used for human cloning.In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be “morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning.” Shapiro explained during the meeting that the moral doubt stems mainly from fears about the risk to the health of the child. The panel then informally accepted several general conclusions, although some details have not been settled.NBAC plans to call for a continued ban on federal government funding for any attempt to clone body cell nuclei to create a child. Because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds to create embryos (the earliest stage of human offspring before birth) for research or to knowingly endanger an embryo’s life, NBAC will remain silent o n embryo research.NBAC members also indicated that they will appeal to privately funded researchers and clinics not to try to clone humans by body cell nuclear transfer. But they were divided on whether to go further by calling for a federal law that would impose a complete ban on human cloning. Shapiro and most members favored an appeal for such legislation, but in a phone interview, he said this issue was still “up in the air.”63. We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.[A] federal funds have been used in a project to clone humans[B] the White House responded strongly to the news of cloning[C] NBAC was authorized to control the misuse of cloning technique[D] the White House has got the panel’s recommendations on cloning64. The panel agreed on all of the following except that ________.[A] the ban on federal funds for human cloning should be made a law[B] the cloning of human DNA is not to be put under more control[C] it is criminal to use private funding for human cloning[D] it would be against ethical values to clone a human being65. NBAC will leave the issue of embryo research undiscussed because________.[A] embryo research is just a current development of cloning[B] the health of the child is not the main concern of embryo research[C] an embryo’s life will not be endangered in embryo research[D] the issue is explicitly stated and settled in the law66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.[A] some NBAC members hesitate to ban human cloning completely[B] a law banning human cloning is to be passed in no time[C] privately funded researchers will respond positively to NBAC’sappeal[D] the issue of human cloning will soon be settledText 5Science, in practice, depends far less on the experiments it prepares than on the preparedness of the minds of the men who watch the experiments. Sir Isaac Newton supposedly discovered gravity through the fall of an apple. Apples had been falling in many places for centuries and thousands of people had seen them fall. But Newton for years had been curious about the cause of the orbital motion of the moon and planets. What kept them in place? Why didn’t they fall out of the sky? The fact that the apple fell down toward the earth and not up into the tree answered the question he had been asking himself about those larger fruits of the heavens, the moon and the planets.How many men would have considered the possibility of an apple falling up into the tree? Newton did because he was not trying to predict anything. He was just wondering. His mind was ready for the unpredictable. Unpredictability is part of the essential nature of research. If you don’t have unpredictable things, you don’t have research. Scientists tend to forget this when writing their cut and dried reports for the technical journals, but history is filled with examples of it.In talking to some scientists, particularly younger ones, you might gather the impression that they find the “scientific me t hod” a substitute for imag inative thought. I’ve attended research conferences where a scientist has been asked what he thinks about the advisability of continuing a certain experiment. The scientist has frowned, looked at the graphs, and said “the data are still inconclusive.” “We know that,” the men from the budget office have said, “but what do you think? Is it worthwhile going on? What do you think we might expect?” The scientist has been shocked at having even been asked to speculate.What this amounts to, of course, is that the scientist has become the victim of his own writings. He has put forward unquestioned claims so consistently that he not only believes them himself, but has convinced industrial and business management that they are true. If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports。

定并不断实施自己的安全计划以建立无事故工作氛围的做法。第二段指出,成功有效的安全计划的侧重点各不相同, 但都遵循某些基本的思想。第三段强调安全生产对企业的意义:其价值是不可低估的,它决定了工厂的运营是盈利 还是亏损。
二、试题具体解析 1.[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:介词的用法。难度:0.36 本题空格处的介词和 low accident rates 搭配成介词短语,做后置定语修饰 companies。选项中只有 at 和 with 能与 rate 搭配,at a/the rate(of)意为“以…的速度”,如:She can read at the rate of 100 words a minute.(她一分钟能读 100 个单词),但我们不能说“低速度事故的(at low accident rates)公司”,因此排除 at。with 意为“具有,带有”,用来 表示附属于一个物品的某种显著的特点,如:a country with a long history(历史悠久的国家),在短文中意为“事故 发生率低的公司”。 2.[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:形容词词义辨析。难度:0.32 空格处的结构为 keep(动词)them(宾语)2(宾补)and active(宾补),其中 them 指代前面的 safety programs,该 空的形容词应与 active 在语义上一致,并且可以修饰 safety programs(安全计划)。选项中 alive 的常用义为“活着的, 有活力的”,但它与 keep 搭配时意为“使继续有效、存在或进行”,如:The argument was kept alive by the politicians. (政治家们还在继续争论那件事)。放入文中,keep safety programs alive 从语法和意思上均符合文意。整个句子的大 意为:事故发生率低的公司制定自己的安全计划,努力实施它们,并且不断使之发挥作用并保持活力。 3.[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:上下文逻辑语义 + 名词词义辨析。难度:0.08 解此题,首先要理解空格后的短语 accident free operations 意为“无事故操作”,free 此处意为“无…的,免…的”, 如:a nuclear weapon free zone(无核武器区);其次要理解条件从句 When the work is well done 的含义,根据上文, 可知它指的是:当公司能够很好地制定安全计划并贯彻实施时。考生还需注意这里条件从句实际上也反应出它和主 句之间是因果关系,即:由于公司能够很好地…,无事故操作的“什么”就可以建立起来了。根据逻辑判断,建立 规章(regulation)和要求(requirement)都不是可能的结果。其它两个选项中,climate 可以表示“气氛,氛围”,如: a climate of unrest (不安的气氛),它在文中意为“建立一个无事故操作的工作氛围”。干扰项是 circumstance,它也 可以表示“环境”,但一般用复数,如:The circumstances forced me to accept.(环境迫使我不得不同意);当它做单 数时,含义是“一个情况,一个特定事件”,如:Your arrival was a fortunate circumstance.(你的到来是的一件幸事)。 4.[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:定语从句中的关系代词和关系副词。难度:0.38 空格前后部分是两个结构完整的句子:a climate of accident free operations is established(一个无事故操作的工作氛围 被建立起来)和 time lost is kept at a minimum(工伤损失的时间保持在最低的限度),这时空格处填入的词只有两种 可能:一是连词,来表明两者之间的逻辑关系;一是关系代词或关系副词,把后面句子变成前面句子的从句。选项 中惟一的连词是 unless,但它表达的含义“除非…否则…”放入文中显然不符合逻辑。那么接下来可以肯定空格连 接的是一个从句。所在句子可简化为 a climate is established4time is kept at a minimum,显然后面的从句只可能修饰先 行词 climate,从结构上看这是个定语从句,空格处需要一个关系副词,因此排除关系代词 what,关系副词 how 也排 除,因为 how 不能引导定语从句(详解见下面知识点补充);只有 where 可以使句子结构合理,它相当于 in which, 在句中代替 in the climate,引导定语从句。从句的完整结构是 time is kept at a minimum in the climate(工伤损失的时 间在这种氛围里会被保持在最低的限度)。 知识点补充:关系副词 when,where 和 why 可以引导定语从句,并在从句中分别表示时间、地点或原因。它们的意 思相当于“介词+which 结构”,其中 when=at/in/on/during which,where=in/at which,why=for which。关系副词 how 不能引导定语从句,像 This is the way how he behaves 这样的句子是错误的。如果要用 how,句子中就不能有先行词, 如:This is how he behaves. 5.[精解] 本题考核的知识点是:动词词义和用法辨析。难度:0.53 本题首先考核动词与介词 in 的搭配。四个选项中,alter 和 distinguish 不能和 in 搭配,首先应该排除;shift in 表示“在… 里移动,变换位置”,如:He shifted impatiently in his seat(他不耐烦地在椅子里动来动去),显然这个含义不符合文 意需要;differ 能与 in 搭配,意为“在…方面不同”,如:My brother and I differ in many ways.(我和我兄弟在许多方

一个星期三下午,她发现一家新开的家具店,店里都是非常讨人喜欢的东西,店外贴着一张告示,邀请所有的人进去四处看看,但不必非要买什么东西。

Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Put your choice in the brackets on the left. (10 points)T ext 1There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. Y ou find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people ―generalists.‖ And these ―generalists‖ are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people‘s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a ―trained‖ man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist -- and especially the administrator -- deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an ―educated‖ man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. V ery rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Y our first job may turn out to be the right job for you -- but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26. There is an increasing demand for ________.[A] all round people in their own fields[B] people whose job is to organize other people‘s work[C] generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional[D] specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27. The specialist is ________.[A] a man whose job is to train other people[B] a man who has been trained in more than one fields[C] a man who can see the forest rather than the trees[D] a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28. The administrator is ________.[A] a ―trained‖ man who is more a specialist than a generalist[B] a man who sees the trees as well as the forest[C] a man who is very strong in the humanities[D] a man who is an ―educated‖ specialist29. During your training period, it is important ________.[A] to try to be a generalist[B] to choose a profitable job[C] to find an organization which fits you[D] to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist30. A man‘s first job ________.[A] is never the right job for him[B] should not be regarded as his final job[C] should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job[D] is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobT est 2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to man. It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. Man has explored, on foot, less than one per cent of its area. Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world -- the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre, thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions. This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia -- a region rich in forest and mining industries. Apart from a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry, or settlement.31. The best title for this selection would be ________.[A] Iceland[B] Land of Opportunity[C] The Unknown Continent[D] Utopia at Last32. At the time this article was written, our knowledge of Antarctica was ________.[A] very limited[B] vast[C] fairly rich[D] nonexistent33. Antarctica is bordered by the ________.[A] Pacific Ocean[B] Indian Ocean[C] Atlantic Ocean[D] All three34. The Antarctic is made uninhabitable primarily by ________.[B] calm seas[C] ice[D] lack of knowledge about the continent35. According to this article ________.[A] 2,000 people live on the Antarctic Continent[B] a million people live within 2,000 miles of the South Pole[C] weather conditions within a 2,000 mile radius of the South Pole make settlementsimpractical[D] only a handful of natives inhabit AntarcticaSection IV: Structure and VocabularyFill in the blanks with the words which best complete the sentences. Put your choices in the brackets on the left. (10 points)EXAMPLE:It was the largest experiment we have ever had; it ________ six houses.[A] ended[B] finished[C] was[D] lastedANSWER: [D]36.

[快速解题]空格所在部分For an hour or 1 是句子的时间状语,考生要判断选项中哪个副词代入能符合这一结构并使文意通顺。
…or so 是固定搭配,用在数字之后,表示“…左右,…上下”,for an hour or so指“一个小时左右”,说明了时间,符合文意。
因此选[A]so。

②③具体讲述活动内容:首先购买所需物品(②句),然后到家具店“橱窗购物”(③句)。

[干扰项设置]其他项都是常用的副词。
else用于疑问句或nothing,something,everybody等之后,如:What else did he say?他还说了些什么?or else意为“要不然,否则”,是连词词组,引导句子,如:Hurry up or else you’ll be late.快点,否则你就要迟到了。

2. [A]taking [B]making [C]fixing [D]keeping本题考核的知识点是:固定搭配。
[快速解题]空格处填入的现在分词其宾语为a sharp lookout for,与上文两个分词短语looking at…, buying…并列,都是句子谓语动词的伴随状语,共同描述人物的购物行为。
lookout来自动词短语look out(留心寻觅;当心,提防),指“观察所,瞭望台(人员)”,keep a lookout (for sb/sth)为固定短语,意为“注意,留心”,它代入文中,指“敏锐地留意有时会出售的便宜货”,符合文意,因此选[D]keeping。
[篇章分析]②句较长,主干为she would walk,副词短语up and down(来回地)与介词短语between the stalls(穿梭于售货摊之间)都是walk的状语,分别表示方式与地点;looking…,buying…and keeping…三个并列的分词短语是walk…stalls的伴随动作。
其中在keeping…分词短语中又含有一个that引导的定语从句修饰bargains。
[空格设置]本题考查动词短语,其中中心动词keep与宾语lookout都可设空。
例句:The public should keep a lookout for symptoms of the disease.公众应当留心这种疾病的症状。
[干扰项设置]其他项都是常用的简单动词,但不符合搭配。
3. [A]buy [B]bought [C]buying [D]to have bought本题考核的知识点是:独立结构。
[快速解题]空格所在部分是“with+逻辑主语(all the things she needed)+__3__”独立结构,在句中做状语,其中she needed是省略了关系代词that的定语从句,后置修饰things,即“她需要的所有东西”。
[A]buy是原形动词,不用于独立结构中。
[D]to have bought是不定式的完成式,用在这里不符合文意。
[B]bought和[C]buying分别为过去分词和现在分词,由于things与buy是被动的逻辑关系,因此选[B],即“她需要的所有东西都(被)买好之后”。
[篇章分析]③句主干是she would leave the market for the streets of the town,句首with…独立结构表示时间,to spend…不定式短语做目的状语。
leave…for…表示“离开(某地)去……”。
[空格设置]本题考查由介词with引导的独立结构。
其中逻辑主语all the things和过去分词bought之间为一个省略了关系代词的定语从句she needed,构成解答本题的最大障碍。
[干扰项设置]其他项都设置为动词buy的不同形式,需要考生理清句子结构作出判断。
4. [A]in a way在某种程度上,不完全地[B]by the way顺便提一下,问一句[C]in the way(…)以……的方式[D]on the way即将去(或来);在路途中本题考核的知识点是:固定搭配辨析。
[快速解题]由选项可知,空格处填入一个以way为中心名词的介词短语。
根据文意,只有in the way代入文中文意通顺,即“以她最喜欢的方式再度过一小时”,因此选[C]。
[篇章分析]空格部分in a way…是to spend的方式状语,其中she liked best是省略关系代词that的定语从句,后置修饰way。
冒号后的现在分词短语looking in…为the way的同位语,解释说明她再度过一小时的方式。
[空格设置]way是含义丰富的简单词,也可构成许多固定搭配。
它在文中取“方式,手段”的意思,如:Infectious diseases can be acquired in several ways.传染病的感染途径有几种。
因它在文中后边接有定语从句,故前用定冠词the限定修饰。
in the way还可构成固定搭配,意为“妨碍,挡路”,如:I left them alone, as I felt I was in the way.我让他们单独在一起,因为我觉得我碍他们的事。
[干扰项设置]干扰项中都是way的常用固定搭配。
例句:In a way it was one of our biggest mistakes.从某种意义上来说,这是我们所犯最大错误之一。
What’s the time, by the way?顺便问一句,几点钟了?The letter should be on its way to you.那封信该快到你那了。
She stopped for breakfast on the way.她中途停下吃早点。
5. [A](look) behind朝后面看[B](look) round环视,四处看;转过头看[C](look) back 回首,回顾[D](look) on旁观;把……看作;(以某种方式)看待本题考核的知识点是:短语动词。
[快速解题]空格所在部分是介词结构with a notice inviting…,做后置定语修饰a new shop,现在分词短语inviting…与notice之间是主动关系,说明通知的内容。
空格处填入的副词与look构成短语动词,与walk in并列,在invite sb to do sth结构中都充当invite的宾语补足语。
这部分的含义是:(商店贴出告示)邀请所有人进来并且……看看。
既然是逛商店,应该是“四处看”,[B]round符合文意。
[篇章分析]④句承接上文,引出Annie一次具体的橱窗购物经历,下文都是对这次经历的具体讲述。
④句通过One Wednesday,a new shop (特指时间和地点)与第一段中On Wednesday afternoons,furniture shop(泛指时间和地点)的呼应,实现语段衔接。
[空格设置]本题考查由look构成的短语动词,是常规考点。
例句:People came out of their houses and looked around.人们走出家门四处查看。
Let’s look round the town this afternoon.咱们今天下午游览市区吧。
She looked round when she heard the noise.她听到响声,就回过头去看。
[干扰项设置]其他项的副词都可与look搭配,其中look back与look on是固定短语。
例句:to look back on your childhood回顾自己的童年。
Passers-by simply looked on as he was attacked.他遭人袭击,路人只在一旁袖手旁观。
She’s looked on as the leading authority on the subject.她被视为这门学科的主要权威。
They looked on his behavior with contempt.他们对他的行为不屑一顾。
6. [A]doubted怀疑的,不能肯定的[B]wondered[C]puzzled迷惑不解的[D]delighted高兴的,愉悦的本题考核的知识点是:上下文语义。
[快速解题]空格处填入一个过去分词形式的形容词,做she的主语补足语,描述主语的状态,即当她(Annie)看到一把绿色的扶手椅时,她停下了,……。
注意该句实际表示的含义是she stopped and she was 6 。
从下文我们可看出,这把椅子对Annie有吸引力,因此,此处表示的应该是她的一种积极的情绪,只有delighted符合文意。
delighted也与短首句中delightful相呼应。
wonder可以表示“感到诧异,惊讶”,但它常用sb wonders主动形式,其过去分词较不常见。
[空格设置]本题通过考查形容词实际考查了对上下文的理解。
另外,这里也涉及形容词做主语补足语的语法知识。
[干扰项设置]wonder可意为“想知道,琢磨”,常用~ about sth或接wh-从句;或指“感到惊讶”,常用~at sth或接that从句,如:She wondered at her stupidity.她没想到自己竟会这样愚蠢。
它对delight构成同向干扰,但用法错误。
doubted与puzzled构成对delighted的反向干扰。
7. [A]at [B]for [C]with [D]in本题考核的知识点是:介词用法。
