2.阅读选择
2.1 25.0
阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项，并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。

Today, many people are starving to death. There is a shortage of food and the available food is too expensive for hungry people to buy. Therefore, they go without food, or each day have only one or two small meals lacking the necessary vitamins to maintain good health.
Recently, a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment. He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did.
During the first five days he was hungry at his regular meal times,but after he had drunk a glass of water his hunger went away. In the evening,when he ate his one meal,he ate quickly and consumed a large amount. During the next few days, although he was not hungry during the day, he quickly noticed every food stall, and the smell of food caught his attention. During the third and fourth weeks, he had hunger pains and lacked physical strength. He looked forward to his one meal and ate it very slowly, enjoying every bite. Without it, he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work.
This experience changed his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not just a pastime,it also gave him strength. He more frequently noticed overweight people and people who threw away leftover food. He realized the importance of food for the very hungry person. He could no longer easily pass by a hungry beggar on the street. But most importantly, he could now sympathize in a small way with the starving people of the world.

2.2 25.0
阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项，并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。

As they entered the 21st century, people could not help looking back to the past
20 years when they managed to cope with a new threat– the computer. By the year
of 1980, computers had become a fact of life. They were, the magazine DISCOVER noted that December, “in cars, offices, schools and homes, toys and watches. In some airplanes, pilots need not handle the controls; they are‘flight managers’ who watch the computer manage the flight and landing. On the way are voice-driven typewriters, robots that can ‘see’, and hand-held computers that can over the contents of the Library of Congress.”
But at the same time, observed the writer John Leo, a large number of Americans were “computerphobes” (电脑恐惧者) and “techno-peasants”, who feared that computers were “designed to destroy privacy, eliminate jobs, carry the TV generation even further away from literacy, read few words on food boxes so that
the grocer can cheat his customers more easily, and allow World War III to be launched entirely by technical error.”
Some executives especially hated computers, Leo reported. They worried that they would lose status – and their assistants –if they were seen at keyboard.
Publishers and journalists, he continued, were frightened that the printed word would be eliminated. “True, the newspaper travels well–you can not put a computer under your arm while rushing for a train,” he wrote, “Not now, but a more advanced and complicated portable version, about the size of a hand-held electronic game, may not be far off.”
Today those same executives and journalists who feared computers wouldn’t be found without having their portable computers on their laps. The widespread fear of computers seems a thing of the past–a shift that Leo correctly predicted.”Every one will accept computers,” he wrote, “because there is no alternative.”
2.2.1 5.0
The magazine listed the uses of computers in the following fields EXCEPT __________.
您没有作答
• a
education
• b
transportation
• c
publication
• d
medicine
细节判断题。

文章在第一段中提到电脑在多个地方被广泛使用，其中提到了cars，schools，即transportation（交通）和education（教育），在第三段提到有些记者担心the printed word would be eliminated（纸质媒体会被取代），即提到了电脑在publication（出版）方面的使用。

因此，D为正确答案。

2.2.2 5.0
Some executives did not like computers in that __________.
您没有作答
• a
they might lose their importance and respect
• b
they had to learn how to use computers
• c
they had to hire more assistants
• d
they had to buy expensive portable computers
细节判断题。

第三段第一句提到一些行政官员憎恨电脑是因为担心电脑会让他们lose status（失去地位），表述与A选项中的lose their importance and respect是同义替换。

2.2.3 5.0
Which of the following is NOT what the computerphobes are expecting?
您没有作答
• a
More privacy.
• b
More jobs.
• c
More literacy.
• d
More world wars.
推理判断题。

根据第二段But at the same time, observed the writer John Leo, a large number of Americans were “computerphobes” (电脑恐惧者) and “techno-peasants”, who feared that computers were “designed to destroy privacy, eliminate jobs, carry
the TV generation even further away from literacy, read few words on food boxes so that the grocer can cheat his customers more easily, and allow World War III to be launched entirely by technical error.”整句话的意思是：“但是与此同时，作者John Leo也发现很多美国人都是电脑恐惧者或者对科技一窍不通的人，他们担心电脑会破坏他们的隐私，减少就业机会，让现在沉迷于电视的一代人更加丧失读写能力，连看食品包装盒上的文字都几乎看不懂，商人们更容易欺骗顾客，甚至会因为科技错误引发第三次世界大战。

”可见他们希望的是更多的隐私，更多的工作以及更高的文化，故选D。

2.2.4 5.0
Today the same executives and journalists can be found to __________.
您没有作答
• a
dislike computers
• b
fear using computers
• c
use computers frequently
• d
use computers rarely
细节判断题。

根据第四段的第一句话Today those same executives and journalists who feared computers wouldn’t be found without having their portable computers on their laps.此句是一个双重否定句子，用not … without强调电脑的重要性。

在翻译的时候一般翻译成主动语态。

整句话的意思是：“如今，人们会发现那些之前对电脑恐惧的管理人员和记者们，往往大腿上放着便携式电脑一边工作着。

”作者用双重否定表示他们现在走到哪儿都离不开他们的笔记本电脑了。

故选择C。

2.2.5 5.0
When the author says:“…there is no alternative” in the last sentence of the passage, he means that __________.
您没有作答
• a
computers provide no choice
• b
computers are to be accepted
• c
computers offer no help to pilots
• d
more complicated computers have to be made in factories
单词释义题。

alternative意为“选择”，前半句Every one will accept computers.表示大家都要接受电脑，后半句there is no alternative.表示大家都别无选择。

根据语义，B答案最为符合。
