Reading Comprehension (Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.)

It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule.

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most coolheaded and good tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today.

However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to.

A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadsmanship. Year ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

16、According to this passage, troubles on the mad are primarily caused by ________.

·A.people’s attitude towards the mad-hog

·B.the rhythm of modern life

·C.the behavior of the driver

·D.traffic conditions

正確答案：

C

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段第一句話，It is all very well…, but…這一結(jié)構(gòu)常用來表示不滿，意思是“……好是很好，可是……”。由此可知，作者顯然在強(qiáng)調(diào)but之后的內(nèi)容，即道路上的禮貌問題變得越來越糟糕。因此B項(xiàng)(現(xiàn)代生活的節(jié)奏)和D項(xiàng)(交通條件)不符合題意。根據(jù)本段第三句可知，人們或許能容忍司機(jī)的古怪、粗魯和不體貼，故排除A項(xiàng)(人們對于暴躁的司機(jī)的態(tài)度)。故本題選C。

[參考譯文]

指責(zé)交通堵塞、油價(jià)過高及現(xiàn)代生活的快節(jié)奏是無可厚非的，但道路上的禮貌問題變得越來越糟糕。每個(gè)人都知道，脾氣最好的人都變成了方向盤后的怪物。你可能會容忍司機(jī)的古怪、粗魯和不體貼，但如今，有禮貌的駕駛者只是例外。

道路禮貌不僅是一種良好的禮貌，而且也是一種良好的意識。遭遇不文明的行為時(shí)，只有最冷靜、最好脾氣的司機(jī)才能摒棄報(bào)復(fù)對方的念頭。另一方面，禮貌一點(diǎn)對緩解駕車緊張有很大幫助。對于禮貌行為的回應(yīng)，友好的點(diǎn)頭或致謝有助于在現(xiàn)代交通條件下營造一種善意和寬容的氛圍。但如今，這種對禮貌行為的致謝實(shí)在太少了。

然而，不合時(shí)宜的禮貌行為也可能是危險(xiǎn)的。典型的例子是，在幾秒鐘后道路就會通暢的情況下，司機(jī)猛剎車，冒著危險(xiǎn)讓一輛車從側(cè)道出來;或者是司機(jī)揮手讓一個(gè)孩子過斑馬線，進(jìn)入迎面有車行駛的車道，而這些車輛不能及時(shí)停下。同樣的，鼓勵(lì)老太太們隨時(shí)隨地橫穿馬路也是如此。

一位經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富、行為良好的司機(jī)告訴我，如果駕駛者學(xué)會一次一輛交叉進(jìn)入車流中，而不造成滋生壞脾氣的完全堵塞，那將會有幫助。不幸的是，現(xiàn)在的司機(jī)甚至還沒有學(xué)會開車，更別提掌握道路上的禮貌規(guī)范了。一年前，專家們警告我們，汽車擁有量的激增將要求所有道路使用者付出更多的代價(jià)?，F(xiàn)在是我們大家牢記這一信息的時(shí)候了。

17、The sentence “You might tolerate the odd road-hog…the rude.” (Para. 1) implies that ________.

·A.our society is unjust towards well-mannered motorists

·B.rude drivers can be met only occasionally

·C.the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hog

·D.nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists

正確答案：

D

推理題。這里的road-hog是指妨礙其他車輛行駛的司機(jī)。本句大意：你可能會容忍司機(jī)的古怪、粗魯和不體貼，但如今，有禮貌的駕駛者只是例外。言外之意是不懂禮貌的司機(jī)很常見。因此可排除B項(xiàng)(粗魯?shù)乃緳C(jī)只會偶爾碰見)和C項(xiàng)(彬彬有禮的司機(jī)不能容忍這種粗魯?shù)乃緳C(jī))。A項(xiàng)(我們的社會對彬彬有禮的司機(jī)是不公平的)屬于無中生有，文章未提及，故排除。故本題選D。

18、By “good sense” in paragraph 2, the writer means ________.

·A.the driver’s ability to understand and react reasonably

·B.the driver’s prompt response to difficult and severe conditions

·C.the driver’s tolerance of rude or even savage behavior

·D.the driver’s acknowledgement of politeness and regulations

正確答案：

A

推理題。根據(jù)文章第二段可知，作者認(rèn)為good sense包含兩層含義：一方面要對別人禮貌，對別人的不禮貌行為要保持冷靜;另一方面要意識到別人對自己的禮貌照顧，并對此作出回應(yīng)，如友好的點(diǎn)一下頭或招手示意。B項(xiàng)(司機(jī)對困難和惡劣條件的迅速反應(yīng))不是全文討論的內(nèi)容，C項(xiàng)(司機(jī)對粗魯甚至野蠻行為的容忍)只是good sense的一個(gè)具體體現(xiàn)，不是其真正含義，故不正確。D項(xiàng)(司機(jī)對禮貌行為和規(guī)章制度的認(rèn)可)中的regulations(交通規(guī)則)全文并未提及，故排除。故本題選A。

19、Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion, ________.

·A.road users should make more sacrifice

·B.drivers should be ready to yield to each other

·C.drivers should have more communication among themselves

·D.drivers will suffer great loss if they pay no respect to others

正確答案：

B

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第二句可知，專家們警告我們，汽車擁有量的激增將要求所有道路使用者付出更多的代價(jià)，即要忍受交通堵塞帶來的不便，因此道路禮貌顯得尤為重要，這也正是作者所提倡的。A項(xiàng)(司機(jī)作出更大犧牲)不符合題意;C項(xiàng)(司機(jī)之間需要更多的交流)原文未提及;D項(xiàng)(司機(jī)如果不尊重別人，就會蒙受巨大的損失)說的是不尊重他人的后果，原文未提及，故排除。故本題選B。

20、In the writer’s opinion, ________.

·A.strict traffic regulations are badly needed

·B.drivers should apply road politeness properly

·C.rude drivers should be punished

·D.drivers should avoid traffic jams

正確答案：

B

態(tài)度題。全文討論的是道路上的禮貌問題，文中第三段著重討論了不合時(shí)宜的道路禮貌可能是危險(xiǎn)的這一觀點(diǎn)，并舉例來說明，這與B項(xiàng)(司機(jī)應(yīng)適當(dāng)遵守道路禮儀)的觀點(diǎn)吻合。A項(xiàng)(制定嚴(yán)苛的交通規(guī)則)和C項(xiàng)(粗魯?shù)乃緳C(jī)應(yīng)該受到懲罰)與原文不符，文中并未提及交通法規(guī)和粗魯司機(jī)要受到懲罰，故排除。從全文看，作者認(rèn)為司機(jī)要有禮貌，互諒互讓，故D項(xiàng)(司機(jī)應(yīng)避免交通堵塞)說法也不正確。故本題選B。

Education is vital to a nation which holds the reins of economy over the world, so it is to an individual who strives for better livelihood in a highly competitive society like the Americans.

New technology and automation create opportunities as well as challenges to the American people. Machines now take the sweat out of labor, and computers perform tedious mental chores. They have eliminated many of the menial, dirty, or dull jobs, but also entail challenges that can be met only by a better prepared work force. More education and more skill will be the chief requisite for a job.

In the United States, primary schools and high schools offer a broad education to provide a sound foundation in English, mathematics, arts and physical and social sciences. Subordinate to the broad education, both college preparatory and vocational courses are taught under one roof in the comprehensive high schools. Academic, business and technical courses are taught in the 2-year community and junior colleges. Many of their graduates decide they need more schooling and go on to regular colleges and universities. Skill centers in many large cities provide trainings and retraining for youngsters who leave high school and want to qualify for skilled occupations in industries or subprofessional and technical jobs in service fields. Vocational high schools provide “marketable skills” to young men and women who will never go to colleges. Also there are technical institutes under federal sponsorship and a vast range of in-school and on-the-job training programs financed by labor departments and industries.

21、Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?

·A.The broad education can meet the needs of different students.

·B.The high-tech saves people from some tedious work.

·C.There are technical institutes sponsored by the government in the USA

·D.The coming of high-tech age brings more chances for people.

正確答案：

D

推理題。根據(jù)原文第三段可知，A項(xiàng)(廣泛教育可以滿足不同學(xué)生的需求)說法正確。根據(jù)原文第二段第二句可知，B項(xiàng)(高科技可以把人們從繁瑣的工作中解放出來)說法正確。根據(jù)原文第三段最后一句可知，美國政府資助了一些技術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)，故C項(xiàng)(美國有由政府部門贊助的技術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu))說法正確。根據(jù)原文第二段第一句可知，新技術(shù)的開發(fā)為美國人創(chuàng)造了機(jī)會，同時(shí)也帶來了挑戰(zhàn)，D項(xiàng)(高科技時(shí)代的到來僅給人們帶來了更多的機(jī)會)與原文所述不符。故本題選D。

[參考譯文]

教育對于一個(gè)掌握世界經(jīng)濟(jì)大權(quán)的國家來說是至關(guān)重要的，對于像美國人一樣在競爭激烈的社會中為改善生活而奮斗的人來說也是如此。

新技術(shù)和自動化給美國人民帶來了機(jī)遇，也帶來了挑戰(zhàn)。機(jī)器可以解放體力勞動者，而計(jì)算機(jī)可以執(zhí)行單調(diào)乏味的腦力勞動。它們消除了許多瑣碎、臟亂或枯燥的工作，但也帶來了挑戰(zhàn)，而這些挑戰(zhàn)只有通過更加充分的準(zhǔn)備才能應(yīng)對。擁有更多的教育和更多的技能將是工作的首要條件。

在美國，小學(xué)和高中提供廣泛的教育，以便為學(xué)生打下良好的英語、數(shù)學(xué)、藝術(shù)、物理和社會科學(xué)基礎(chǔ)。大學(xué)預(yù)備課程和職業(yè)課程都是在綜合性高中講授的，從屬于廣泛的教育。兩年制的社區(qū)和專科學(xué)校開設(shè)有學(xué)術(shù)、商業(yè)和技術(shù)課程。它們中的許多畢業(yè)生認(rèn)為自己需要更多的教育，然后進(jìn)入普通的學(xué)院和大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)。許多大城市的技能中心為那些從高中畢業(yè)但希望有資格從事工業(yè)方面的技術(shù)工作或服務(wù)領(lǐng)域的助理工作和技術(shù)工作的年輕人提供培訓(xùn)和再培訓(xùn)。職業(yè)高中為不上大學(xué)的年輕男女提供“適銷對路的技能”。此外，還有由聯(lián)邦政府資助的技術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)，以及由勞動部門和行業(yè)資助的大量校內(nèi)和在職培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目。

22、What have advanced technology and automation done to Americans?

·A.Created chances and challenges for them.

·B.Helped them get higher positions in work.

·C.Made them manage to earn much more money.

·D.Given them chances to communicate with foreigners.

正確答案：

A

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)原文第二段第一句可知，新技術(shù)的開發(fā)為美國人創(chuàng)造了機(jī)會，同時(shí)也帶來了挑戰(zhàn)。A項(xiàng)(為美國人創(chuàng)造機(jī)遇和挑戰(zhàn))與原文相符。B項(xiàng)(促使他們在工作中獲得高職位)、C項(xiàng)(使他們掙更多的錢)和D項(xiàng)(為他們提供與外國人交流的機(jī)會)均與原文所述不符。故本題選A。

23、What courses are available in a comprehensive high school?

·A.Academic courses.

·B.Mathematics.

·C.Technical courses.

·D.Vocational courses.

正確答案：

D

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)原文第三段第二句可知，大學(xué)預(yù)備課程和職業(yè)課程都是在綜合性高中講授的，從屬于廣泛的教育。故D項(xiàng)(職業(yè)課程)符合題意。A項(xiàng)(學(xué)術(shù)課程)、B項(xiàng)(數(shù)學(xué))和C項(xiàng)(技術(shù)課程)均與原文所述不符，故排除。故本題選D。

24、What trainings are available to young people who do not go to colleges after they graduate?

·A.Trainings in junior colleges.

·B.Trainings in skill centers.

·C.Trainings in work.

·D.Trainings in community colleges.

正確答案：

B

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)原文第三段倒數(shù)第三句可知，許多大城市的技能中心為那些從高中畢業(yè)但希望有資格從事工業(yè)方面的技術(shù)工作或服務(wù)領(lǐng)域的助理工作和技術(shù)工作的年輕人提供培訓(xùn)和再培訓(xùn)，故B項(xiàng)(在技術(shù)中心進(jìn)行培訓(xùn))符合題意。A項(xiàng)(專科學(xué)校的培訓(xùn))、C項(xiàng)(在職培訓(xùn))和D項(xiàng)(社區(qū)學(xué)院的培訓(xùn))均與原文所述不符，故排除。故本題選B。

25、Which of the following is the major requirement for a job?

·A.More education.

·B.More skill.

·C.More chances.

·D.Both A and B.

正確答案：

D

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)原文第二段最后一句可知，受過良好教育以及具有較多技能是當(dāng)今美國人找工作時(shí)必須具備的主要條件，故D項(xiàng)(A和B)符合題意。A項(xiàng)(更多教育)和B項(xiàng)(更多技能)描述不全面，C項(xiàng)(更多機(jī)會)與原文不符。故本題選D。

A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy. Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called “take a mortgage(抵押)”. The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgae for twenty-five years. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $50 000. In other words, they will have a $50 000 mortgage.

How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like, you go to a bank. The bank will research you financial(金融的)history and decide if they think you are a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have, what kind of salary you make, and how long you have had the job. They will also want to know how much money you have. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment.

26、What does a house mean in the United States?

·B.It is so expensive that many people cannot really buy them.

·C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy.

·D.It doesn’t belong to people if they can’t borrow money from the bank.

正確答案：

C

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)原文第一句可知，房子是人們所要購置的最重要的財(cái)產(chǎn)。A項(xiàng)(它是很多人都無法實(shí)現(xiàn)的夢想)和B項(xiàng)(它太貴了很多人都無法真正買得起)都表示人們沒有能力購房，與文章中的抵押貸款購房相悖。D項(xiàng)(如果人們不能從銀行貸款，房子就不會屬于他們)說法過于絕對，并不是所有的人都必須通銀行貸款才能買得起房子。故本題選C。

[參考譯文]

房子是大多數(shù)人將要購買的最昂貴的物品。很少有人自己有足夠的錢來購房，因而人們不得不從銀行貸款。從銀行借錢購房被稱為“作抵押”。銀行通常的借款期或抵押期可達(dá)25年。當(dāng)前房價(jià)如此之高，以至人們的借款額高達(dá)50 000美元。換句話說，他們將有50 000美元的抵押款。

怎樣獲得抵押貸款呢?找到自己喜歡的房子后，到一家銀行去。銀行會審查你的金融記錄，然后決定你是否是一個(gè)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)較小的人。他們要了解你的工作類型，薪水收入，以及工作年限。他們還要了解你有多少錢。此外，銀行還要求付首付。根據(jù)你所居住的州，銀行可能要求房價(jià)的30%作為首付款，然后銀行將借給你購房所需的剩余款項(xiàng)。許多人因攢不到足夠的錢付首付，從而根本就沒有能力購房。

27、If American people borrow money from the bank for 25 years, this means that the person who borrows ________.

·A.has twenty-five years to pay back the money

·B.has more than twenty-five years to pay back the money

·C.has less than twenty-five years to pay back the money

·D.has about twenty-five years to pay back the money

正確答案：

A

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)原文第一段第四句可知，銀行的借款期是25年，這是一個(gè)準(zhǔn)確的數(shù)字，而不是多于、少于或大約25年，故B項(xiàng)(用超過25年的時(shí)間來償還這筆錢)、C項(xiàng)(用少于25年的時(shí)間來償還這筆錢)和D項(xiàng)(用大約25年的時(shí)間來償還這筆錢)均與原文所述不符，故排除。故本題選A。

28、What does “down payment” refer to in this passage?

·A.Money borrowed from a bank as a mortgage.

·B.Money paid to a bank before the mortgages is given.

·C.Interest received by a person who borrows money as the mortgages.

·D.Interest charged by a bank on a mortgage.

正確答案：

B

詞義題。從“down payment”的后一句話The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house可以推知“down payment”是在取得貸款之前自己先支付的那部分款項(xiàng)，即首付款。故本題選B。A項(xiàng)(作為抵押從銀行借來的錢)、C項(xiàng)(借款作為抵押貸款的人收到的利息)和D項(xiàng)(銀行對抵押貸款收取的利息)均與原文所述不符，故排除。

29、Which is not one of the things researched by a bank?

·A.How much money the borrower owns.

·B.What salary the borrower makes.

·C.What kind of job the borrower has.

·D.What kind of house the borrower lives in.

正確答案：

D

細(xì)節(jié)題。題干詢問的是銀行查詢的內(nèi)容，集中在文章第二段，可以用對比排除的方法得出答案。A項(xiàng)(借款人有多少錢)、B項(xiàng)(借款人的薪水是多少)和C項(xiàng)(借款人的職業(yè)是什么)文章都有提及，故排除。故本題選D。

30、The most suitable title for this passage would be ________.

·A.How to Save Money on the House

·B.How to Borrow Money from a Bank

·C.How to Take a Mortgage

·D.How to Buy a House

正確答案：

C

主旨題。文章第一段由購房展開，引出了在當(dāng)前房價(jià)居高的形勢下，人們購房所采用的一種方式——抵押貸款。并于第二段展開說明如何進(jìn)行抵押貸款。故本文主旨在于說明如何進(jìn)行抵押貸款，所以C項(xiàng)(如何獲得抵押貸款)最適合作為本文標(biāo)題。A項(xiàng)(如何存錢買房)和B項(xiàng)(如何從銀行借錢)均不符合文章主旨，故排除。D項(xiàng)(如何購房)范圍太廣，超出了文章所覆蓋的范圍。故本題選C。

It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that whenever a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged(承認(rèn))and regret expressed.

I remember a doctor friend, the late(已故的)Clarece Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia(失眠)and stomach trouble. No physical cause could be found. Finally Dr. Lieb said to the man, “Unless you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.”

After some hesitation, the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good relation. He then went with him to the mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. “Thank you,” he said, “I think I’m cured.”

A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now.

31、When we have done something wrong, we should ________.

·A.look honest and think over the fault carefully

·B.escape from being disturbed

·C.admit the fault and express the regret

·D.forgive ourselves

正確答案：

C

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句可知，我們?nèi)羰亲鲥e(cuò)了事，就應(yīng)該承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤，表示歉意，故C項(xiàng)(承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤并表示歉意)符合題意。A項(xiàng)(誠實(shí)看待并認(rèn)真反思錯(cuò)誤)、B項(xiàng)(不受干擾)和D項(xiàng)(原諒自己)均與原文表述不符，故排除。故本題選C。

[參考譯文]

承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤決不是件容易的事。作為人類，我們都需要懂得道歉的藝術(shù)。用誠實(shí)的眼光回顧過去，想想你有多少次武斷的判斷，說了多少不友善的話，并且以犧牲朋友為代價(jià)推動自己前進(jìn)。然后數(shù)一數(shù)，你清楚真實(shí)地表示你很抱歉的場合。有點(diǎn)嚇人，不是嗎?令人恐懼的是，我們內(nèi)心深處的一些智慧知道，每當(dāng)一個(gè)小小的錯(cuò)誤發(fā)生時(shí)，道德上就會感覺受到譴責(zé);直到承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤并表示抱歉之前，它一直處于失衡狀態(tài)。

我記得一位已故的醫(yī)生朋友——克萊斯·利布，告訴我一個(gè)男人帶著各種各樣的癥狀來找他：頭痛、失眠和胃病。無法找到任何生理原因。最后，利布博士對那個(gè)人說：“除非你告訴我你在擔(dān)心什么，否則我?guī)筒涣四??！?/p>

猶豫了一會兒后，該男子承認(rèn)，作為父親遺囑的執(zhí)行人，他一直在欺騙住在國外的弟弟，繼承了屬于弟弟的那部分遺產(chǎn)。這時(shí)，那位睿智的老醫(yī)生(利布博士)讓他寫信給他的弟弟請求原諒，并附上一張支票，作為恢復(fù)他們良好關(guān)系的第一步。然后利布和他一起走向走廊里的信箱。隨著信的消失，那人哭了起來。他說：“謝謝你，我想我已經(jīng)痊愈了?！?/p>

真誠的道歉不僅能治愈一段受損的關(guān)系，而且還能讓它變得更強(qiáng)大。如果你能想到一個(gè)值得你道歉的人，一個(gè)你曾冤枉的人，一個(gè)你曾嚴(yán)厲評判的人，或者只是忽略了的人，現(xiàn)在就做點(diǎn)什么吧。

32、What will happen if we have done something wrong?

·A.Our logic of thinking will be disturbed.

·B.We shall lose a friend.

·C.We shall apologize at once.

·D.Our moral balance will be disturbed.

正確答案：

D

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知，每當(dāng)我們犯了小小的錯(cuò)誤，某種道義上的情感就會被擾亂。D項(xiàng)(我們的道德平衡會受到干擾)是對文中Some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。A項(xiàng)(我們的思維邏輯會受到干擾)和B項(xiàng)(我們會失去朋友)與原文表述不符，故排除。C項(xiàng)(我們馬上道歉)不符合題意，雖然我們應(yīng)立即道歉，但事實(shí)上很多人都做不到，正如文章開頭就指出的那樣“承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤決不是件容易的事”，故排除。故本題選D。

33、What was the cause of the patient’s disease?

·A.Headaches.

·B.Stomach trouble.

·C.Disturbance of conscience.

·D.Some unknown physical weakness.

正確答案：

C

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段和第三段的前半部分可知，這位病人因在遺產(chǎn)問題上欺騙了弟弟而良心不安，結(jié)果導(dǎo)致了他生理上的一系列疾病。故本題選C。A項(xiàng)(頭疼)和B項(xiàng)(胃病)是這位病人的具體病癥，并不是其原因，故排除。D項(xiàng)(一些未知的身體弱點(diǎn))原文未提及，故排除。

34、What had the patient done to his brother?

·A.He had sent his brother abroad.

·B.He had cheated his brother out of his inheritance.

·C.He had given just a little share of the inheritances to his brother.

·D.He had gone abroad leaving his brother nothing.

正確答案：

B

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段第一句可知，他騙取了住在國外的弟弟應(yīng)得的遺產(chǎn)。B項(xiàng)中cheat sb. out of sth.與原文中的cheat sb. of sth.意思相同，故本題選B。A項(xiàng)(他送弟弟出國)、C項(xiàng)(他只分給弟弟一小部分遺產(chǎn))和D項(xiàng)(他出國了，什么也沒給弟弟留下)均與原文所述不符，故排除。

35、The patient was cured by ________.

·A.writing a letter

·B.crossing a cheque

·C.mailing a letter

·D.asking his brother to forgive him

正確答案：

D

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后兩句可知，病人請求弟弟原諒的信一寄出，他的病就好了。A項(xiàng)(寫信)、B項(xiàng)(開支票)和C項(xiàng)(寄信)的目的是為了求得他弟弟的原諒，所以只有求得原諒才能治好他的病。故本題選D。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Certificate Craze on Campus. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:

1.近幾年大學(xué)校園內(nèi)出現(xiàn)“考證熱”。

2.產(chǎn)生這一現(xiàn)象的原因。

3.你的看法。

正確答案：

Certificate Craze on Campus

In recent years, to get a certificate has become a new craze among college students. Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Why does this craze appear?

There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. First, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe. Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.

From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability. Being crazy in getting certificates blindly is nothing but wasting time. In a nutshell, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.
