漫漫人生路,流水的考试,铁打的我。
Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Design of all the new tools and implements is based on careful experiments with electronic instruments. First, a human “guinea pig” is tested using a regular tool. Measurements are taken of the amount of work done, and the buildup of heat in the body. Twisted joints and stretched muscles can not perform as well, it has been found, as joints and muscles in their normal positions. The same person is then tested again, using a tool designed according to the suggestions made by Dr. Tichauer. All these tests have shown the great improvement of the new designs over the old.
One of the electronic instruments used by Dr. Tichauer, the myograph (肌动记器), makes visible through electrical signals the work done by human muscle.
Another machine measures any dangerous features of tools, thus proving information upon which to base a new design. One conclusion of tests made with this machine is that a tripod stepladder is more stable and safer to use than one with four legs.
This work has attracted the attention of efficiency experts and time-and-motion-study engineer, but its value goes far beyond that. Dr. Tichauer’s first thought is for the health of the tool user. With the repeated use of the same tool all day long on production lines and in other jobs, even light manual work can put a heavy stress on one small area of the body. In time, such stress can cause a disabling disease. Furthermore, muscle fatigue is a serious safety hazard.
Efficiency is the by-product of comfort, Dr. Tichauer believes, and his new designs for traditional tools have proved his point.
21. What are involved in the design of a new tool according to the passage?
A) Electronic instruments and a regular tool.
B) A human “guinea pig” and a regular tool.
C) Electronic instruments and a human “guinea pig”.
D) Electronic instruments, a human “guinea pig” and a regular tool.
22. From the passage we know that joints and muscles perform best when __________________.
A) they are twisted and stretched
B) they are in their normal positions
C) they are tested with a human “guinea pig”
D) they are tested with electronic instruments
23. A “myograph” (Para. ……此处隐藏6201个字……作, 休息, 划出;turn off 关掉, 避开, 使转变方向, 生产, 制造, 用车床加工出, 使厌烦, 变成;put off 推迟, 拖延, 搪塞, 使分心, 使厌恶, 扔掉, 脱掉, 劝阻。
62. D) enclose指邮寄信件时附上其它东西。
63. D) 选项中只有range能被wide修饰。
64. B) status指身份, 地位, 情形, 状况;sate指状态;statue则是雕象。
65. A) to say nothing of 是一个固定短语,意思是“更不用说……了”。本题不要做成词义辨析题。 66. C) 本题同样没有必要辨析四个选项的意思,只要知道“电击”是electric shock就够了。
67. B) 表示人的量词用group。
68. D) 常用radical修饰change,表示根本的的变化。
69. C) 表示向某人致意用regard。
70. A) 此处应选“目的”一词。C)表示具体的目标,不通。
Part IV Cloze
71.D) well是副词,good是形容词,所以A)不可。与后面相比较的doesn’t work at all相关的是,此处B)、C)形成不了关联。
72.A) 此句的意思是你一直进行尝试,直到找到适合自己的学习方法。因而此处的连词要表达“直到”的意思。 73.B) 线索是空格后的else,两个词连起来表示“(除了你自己),别的任何人都不能……”。
74.D) work常用于抽象的意义,表示起作用的意思。请参照第一句中的动词。
75.A) get (fall, be) behind等都表示落后的意思,根据上下文,显然是说,我们在学习上是不要落后。
76.C) 此处要求填一个形容词,A)可排除。又根据上下文,可以理解出这句话的意思应该是:学习这个困难,一开始的时候是非常难的,而当你想在一周内完成三周的事情时则变得几乎是不可能的。这时谈的是难度的问题,因此选其它的答案是不合适的。如果直接解此题有困难,可以先做后面的题。
77.C) 根据从句中的意思来判断本题的答案。不管78选哪个答案,我们都知道是要在一周内做三周的事,毫无疑问,应当说这是几乎不可能的。
78.C) 表面考的是所有格的用法,实际上考的是名词的数。三周肯定是复数,week必须是复数形式;work是不可数名词。答案就一目了然了。
79.A) 本题考查的是篇章词汇。解题也有两种方法。第一种方法从篇章的角度着手,承接上面一段,说的是学习的困难,在这里显然是说“即使”是读得最快的人也有困难,选A)顺理成章。第二种方法从句法着手。这是一个简单句,显然不能填连词和介词,C)、D)明显错误。单就本句来说,选almost也是不能的。
80.B) have troubling后要求接动名词。
81.A) turn in 的意思是“交上去,上交”,其它的选项是:turn up 出现, turn out出来;结果是,given in 让步。
82.D) 此处表示“过晚”之意,用too。
83.C) 还记得常说的not …at all 吗?
84.D) 这一句及其下一句是说因为你在别的科花的时间太多而在另一科落后,前者不是后者的理由。所以此处要选表示“借口、理由”意思的词,即是excuse。
85.A) 表示笼统的“有用”的动词是help。
86.A) at the expense of的意思是“以……为代价”。
87.A) 注意后面的介词to,所以这是一个固定搭配。
88.B) 想一想“What is the reason that …”这个句型吧。
89.C) 前面所说的明显是一种诱惑,所以要选temptation。
90.C) 前面说的是上什么什么课的事,所以选class。
Part V Writing
People all over the world set great regard on good manners. To certain degree, good manners indicate a person' s good education and breeding. In schools, it is part of students' moral Raining to develop good manners. A person with good manners always wins praise. On the contrary, people will frown on him if he behaves roughly and impolitely.
There are good manners in which we behave in public places. It is a good manner to offer help to the young, the old and the handicapped when they are in need of it. So is it to conduct ourselves politely and keep away from foul language. Besides, we should guard against such minor offences as making a loud noise, casting peels and shells, smoking, and spitting.
If everyone has developed good manners, people will form a more harmonious relationship. If everyone behaves considerately towards others and follows the social ethics, people will live in a better world. With the general mood of society improved, there will be a progress of civilization.
