________________________________________ Passage

I worked as a manager in a company for a number of years.I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs.That was when I decided to do something I'd always wanted to do – become a freelance(自由撰稿的)writer.Changing professions(职业)has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible(灵活的)schedule.I work about

as much as I did before – between 45 and 50 hours a week – but my schedule is much less rigid than it used to be.Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day, with a few extra hours on weekends.Now, however, I work when I feel like it.For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 A.M., then sleep until noon.I really prefer this kind of schedule.It seems more natural to me.I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health.While I was working as a manager, I never exercised.I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV.However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise.As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better.I've also started to eat more healthfully.I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping.I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home.Of course, not all the changes have been that easy.For example, I don't feel as secure financially as I used to.When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money.I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks.Working freelance, I don't have a regular paycheck.So now I have to make sure there's enough money until the next check arrives.All in all, I really like my current lifestyle.Of course, that doesn't mean I'll never want to have a “regular” job.But for now, at least, it suits me.11.At the end of the passage, the author indicates that _____.A.he is going to find a regular job soon B.he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near future

C.he will continue to write for the rest of his life D.he will soon find out whether writing is a good career for him 正确答案：B 题目解析：

细节题。从最后一段可以看出“„„I really like my current lifestyle „„But for now, at least, it suits me.”（我真的喜欢当前的

生活方式„„至少到现在，这种方式是适合我的），只有B“在近阶段，他将不会去改变他的生活方式”符合原文，所以正确答案为B。

12.What is his chief problem now?

A.He cannot count on his paycheck to arrive on time.B.He has no regular work to do.C.He has to find a publisher for his books.D.He has to worry about money.正确答案：D 题目解析：

细节题。从第四段第二句话可以看出“I don't feel as secure financially as I used to.”（我没有像过去一样感觉到财政上的无虑），所以正确答案为D“他不得不为了钱的事情担心”。

13.Why does the author do his own cooking now?

A.He wants to lose weight.B.He has got lots of free time on his hands.C.He no longer feels tired after work.正确答案：D

D.He wants to eat more healthfully.题目解析：

细节题。从第三段倒数第三句“I've also started to eat more healthfully.”（我也已经开始了更健康的饮食）可以得出，“他想要更健康的饮食”所以正确答案为D。

14.What is the main difference the job change brought to the author? A.He works fewer hours a week.B.He does not have to work on weekends.D.He can work at night and sleep late.C.He can change his schedule as he likes.正确答案：C 题目解析： 细节题。第二段都是在说作息时间表的变化和灵活多变，所以可以看出C“他能按他的喜好安排作息时间。”是正确的，正确答案为C。

15.Why did the author decide to become a freelance writer? A.He had always liked writing.B.He was dissatisfied with his company

C.He never liked his job as a manager.D.He wanted to change his lifestyle.正确答案：A 题目解析：

细节题。A“他喜欢写作”B“他不满意现在的公司”C“作为管理者他从来没有喜欢过他的工作”D“他想要改变他的生活方式”，从第一段“I'd always wanted to do – become a freelance(自由撰稿

的)writer.”（我总是想去做——成为一个自由撰稿作家）可以看出，B、C、D和原文意思相违背，所以只有A“他总是喜欢写作”正确。

________________________________________ Passage

About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning.The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university.These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts(B A)or Bachelor of Science(B S)degree.Some students attend a junior college(providing only a two-year program)for one or two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore(二年级学生)or junior(三年级学生)..It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one.Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average(GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school.Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive.Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships.Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters

or

doctoral

degrees

in

grad(graduate)school.Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies;“ Since college costs are very high，most students work at part-time jobs.Some have fulltime jobs and go to school part-time.Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money/job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student's time, most still enjoy social activities.Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular.However, gathering together for long, philosophical, talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activities.16.The best title

A.Only by working at part-time jobs.B.Only by working at full-time jobs.C.Only by earning scholarships.D.All of above.正确答案：D 题目解析：

细节题。从文章第二段倒数第三句“Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships.”还有第三段“Since college costs are very high，most students work at part-time jobs.Some have fulltime jobs and go to school part-time.”可以看出A“通过兼职工作”B“通过全职工作”C“通过得奖学金”在文中都有出现，所以正确答案为D以上都正确。

A.Entrance

examinations.B.Taking

part

in

many

activities.C.GPA.D.College prep classes.正确答案：B 题目解析：

________________________________________ Passage

During Paleolithic times man became man by learning to speak, to make tools and to use fire.This gave him an enormous advantage over other animals about him.Yet in one fundamental respect he remained alike to them.He was still a hunter among other hunters.He was still a food gatherer as were countless other species that were completely dependent on the bounty of nature.And being dependent on the nature, he was dominated by nature.He had to be constantly on the move in order to follow animals and to locate fishing grounds.He had to live in small groups because not many could find enough food to support themselves in a given area if he lived alone.It is estimated that even in fertile areas with a mild winter, only one or two food collectors could support themselves per square mile.And twenty or even thirty square miles were needed for each human soul in regions of cold climate, tropical jungle or desert.Such dependence on nature left its mark on all aspects of human society.But this dependence was greatly reduced when man made the epochal discovery that he could feed himself by growing his food as well as by gathering it.In doing so a new world with a bright future opened before him, as he left behind

him the Paleolithic stage of his development and entered the Neolithic.21.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

解析：由句子when man made the epochal discovery that he could feed himself by growing his food as well as by gathering it可以看出当人类自己能生产食物喂养自己时就表示进入新石器时代了，正确答案选D 24.A man who lived alone in Paleolithic times _____.A.could gather enough food for himself B.could support himself quite easily C.would hardly survive the hard natural

conditions D.needn‟t move a lot for food 正确答案：C 题目解析： 解析：在旧石器时代And being dependent on the nature, he was dominated by nature，人们受大自然控制，也就是说人很难在艰苦的自然环境下生存，正确答案选C 25.Which of the following is not the advantage of man in Paleolithic times? A.Learning to speaking B.Making tools C.Using fire 正确答案：D D.Being hunters

________________________________________ Passage

The following story was found among the papers of Diedrich Knicherbocker, an old gentleman of New York.During his lifetime, this gentleman was very curious about the Dutch history of that region.Although unable to find much information on this subject in books, he learned a great deal by listening to the old men of the town ——-and more especially their wives.Whenever, therefore, he found by chance some real Dutch family, living comfortably in some farmhouse with a low roof, under a fine big tree, he considered it as full of information as a history book, and he studied it eagerly.The result of all this study was a history of the region during the time of the Dutch governors, which he published some years ago.There have been various opinions as to the artistic quality of his work, and, to tell the truth, it is not a bit better than it should be.Its chief virtue is that it truthfully reports the facts.It is therefore highly respected by students of history, and has been admitted into all historical collections.The

old gentleman died soon after his work was published.Now that he is dead and gone, it cannot do much harm to his memory to say that perhaps he should have spent his time on more important matters.He, however, preferred to follow his interests in his own way;and though he sometimes troubled and angered some of his neighbors and friends, his deeds are now remembered “more in sorrow than in anger”.Most people now think that he never intended to do any harm.11.Which of the following statements can NOT be concluded from the last paragraph?

During Napoleon’s invasion of Russia, his troops were battling in the middle of a small town in that endless wintry land, when he was separated from his men.A group of Russian soldiers saw him and began chasing him through the twisting streets.Napoleon ran for his life into a little furrier’s shop.As Napoleon entered the shop, he saw the furrier and cried, “Save me, save me!Where can I hide?” The furrier said, “Quick, under the big pile of furs in the corner,” and he covered Napoleon up

Diedrich

with many furs.No sooner had he finished than the Russian soldiers burst in the door, shouting “Where is he? We saw him come in.” Despite the furrier’s protests, they tore the shop apart trying to find Napoleon.But they didn’t find him and left.After some time, Napoleon came out from under the furs, unharmed, just as his personal guards came in the door.The furrier turned to Napoleon and said, “Excuse me for asking such a great man this question, but what was it like to be under those furs, knowing that the next moment would surely be your last?”

Napoleon drew himself up to his full height and said to the furrier angrily, “How could you ask such a question of me, the Emperor Napoleon!Guards, take this rude man out, blindfold him and e x e cute him.I myself will give the command to fire!”

The guards took the poor furrier out, stood him up against a wall and blindfolded him.The furrier could see nothing, but he could hear the movements of the guards as they prepared their rifles.He trembled.Then he heard Napoleon clear his throat and call out slowly, “Ready … aim…” At that moment, knowing that he would die, a feeling he couldn’t describe came to him and tears ran down his cheeks.After a long period of silence, the furrier heard footsteps approaching him and the blindfold was taken down from his eyes.He saw Napoleon’s eyes looking deeply into his own ——-eyes that seemed to see into every dusty corner of his being.Then Napoleon said softly, “Now you know.”

just waited on me,” he said, pointing to an employee of the fast food restaurant where we were eating, “had to call someone over to help her count change.The cash register(现金出纳机)showed her I needed 99 cents, but she couldn't figure out how to count out the coins.” I understood Mike's concern.What we have done in this country, although unintentionally, is to create several generations of individuals most of whom have no idea how to reason;how to do simple math;how to do research;or, finally, how to be creative(有创造力的).The reason for this is our overuse of information technology: video games, television, digital

technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them.It is time we took a hard look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons.Our kids can't tell time if the clock has hands.They can use calculators, but cannot add, subtract, divide, or multiply.Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play.Although most of them are technically literate, they choose not to read.They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book.It is not enough to recognize that a problem exists.What we need is a solution.The one I offer is simple to suggest, but may be impossible to carry out.We must unplug our children.If we don't, they will never learn how to solve problems.They will never learn even basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity.Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, let's concentrate on good old-fashioned literacy – reading books.Students must be taught not to perform computer operations by rote(死记), but to figure and reason for themselves.They must see how things work and how processes

lead to results, they must also stretch their imagination.11.We can see from the passage that the author believes ________.A.information technology is being overused B.modern technology helps us to do things we don't even understand C.reading benefits children more than anything else D.electronics has no place in the classroom 正确答案：C 12.What solution does the author suggest to our children's problem?

A.Get them off TV and computer games.B.Turn off all electronic equipment at school.C.Teach them how to learn from video games.D.Give them freedom in the use of computers.正确答案：A 题目解析：

细节推理题。从第二段中第三句“Video games have taken the place of active, imaginative play.”（电子游戏占据了活跃想象游戏的太多空间）可以推理出作者建议让孩子们远离电视和电脑游戏，所以正确答案为A“让孩子们远离电视和电脑游戏”。

A.She does not know how to operate the cash register.B.She is unable to solve simple math problems.C.She lacks coins for customers' change.D.She does not know how to count coins 正确答案：B ________________________________________ Passage The strange close understanding between twins is a familiar enough

phenomenon.Often they seem to understand each other and share each other‟s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kind of thought communication.What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often acts as a brake on twins‟ intellectual development.As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children.The verbal ability of a four-year-old twin is typically 6 months behind that of a non-twin.The problem can be particularly severe in an underprivileged family – a one-parent family for example – where there is little stimulation for children anyway.Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain incomprehensible to outsiders and are thus at severe educational disadvantage.The only solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers.16.The writer mentions all of the items listed below except ______.A.twins can help each other B.twins share each other‟s emotion C.twins are able to understand each other in a private language D.twins communicate less with their parents 正确答案：A 17.The author probably feels that the twins‟ problems ______.A.cannot be solved because the solution is very cruel B.can be solved because twins will be separated

C.can not be solved unless the twins are forced to live in an ordinary environment D.can be solved if the adults communicate with them more often 正确答案：C 18.What‟s the reason for twins to be at a disadvantage in their intellectual development? A.They can only understand their own private language.B.They communicate less with outsiders than non-twins.C.There is little stimulation for them.D.Adults don‟t like to talk with them.正确答

案：B 19.“An underprivileged family”(Para.2)may refer to ______.A.the family where the parents are divorced B.the family which is in poor condition C.the family where the parents are less educational D.all of the above 正确答案：D 20.Many people don‟t know that _____.A.twins understand each other to talk B.twins are slow to learn to talk C.twins are unlikely to do less well at school than other children D.there exists thought communication between

________________________________________ Passage

In most lectures, several main ideas are presented.These are the concepts the lecturer wants the students to remember.Often the lecture has a general idea that serves as an “umbrella” covering the other main concepts.The students‟ job, then, is to pick out the main concepts, including the “umbrella” idea.Lecturers usually begin with an introduction.Sometimes the main concepts and the “umbrella” idea are briefly presented in the introduction;often they are not.Next comes the body of the lecture.It is here that the several main concepts are always presented.The final part of a lecture, the conclusion, is traditionally a summary of the main concepts.This is also the place where the “umbrella” idea can most easily re repeated, restated, or even introduced for the first time.When a lecture is well organized, with a clear-cut beginning, middle, and end, the main ideas are usually easy to pick out.When a lecture is not well organized, getting the gist(要点)of what is being said is quite difficult.Some lecturers are “long-winded”, taking a long time to come to the point.Others ramble on(杂乱无章地漫谈)and never seem to come to the point at all.21.What is the main idea of this passage?
