1、DyslexiaAs many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorder called dyslexia.Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not disease. They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way. One of the world\'s great thinkers and scientists, Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do. He said that he thought in pictures instead. The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic. Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 year ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled. The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different. In most people, the left side of the brain, the part that controls language is larger than the right side. In persons with dyslexia, the right’ side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference. However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males that in females, and it is found more often in persons who are left-handed. No one knows the cause of dyslexia, but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby\'s body long before it is born. They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teaching help. After they have solved their problems with language, they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.Generally speaking, dyslexia is more common in left-handed males that in right-handed females.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:题目中的关键词是more common。答案所在句在第2段第10句。对答案所在句必须进行逻辑分析，我们才能得出正确结论。设A= males，B=females，C=left-handed，D- right-handed。根据答案所在句前半句我们知道：A>B，根据后半句我们知道，C>D，于是我们进行如下推导：A>B+C>D=AC+BD即males>females+left-handed>right-handed=left-handed males>right-handed females可知，该题答案为A。

2、J. K. RowlingLike that of her own character, Harry Potter, J. K. Rowling\'s life has the luster of a fairy tale. Divorced, living on public assistance in a tiny Edinburgh flat with her infant daughter, Rowling wrote Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\'s Stone at a table in a cafe _____ and it was Harry Potter that rescued her.Rowling remembers that she always wanted to write and that the first story she actually wrote down, when she was five or six, was a story about a rabbit called Rabbit. Many of her favorite memories center around enjoying the fantastic adventure stories. .On a particularly long train ride from Manchester to London in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who is a wizard and doesn\'t know it. He attends a school for wizardry -she could see him very plainly in her mind. By the time the train pulled into King\'s Cross Station four hours later, many of the characters and the early stages of the plot were fully formed in her head. The story took further shape as she continued working on it in pubs and cafes over her lunch hours.Rowling was working as a French teacher when she heard that her book about the boy wizard had been accepted for publication. Harry Potter and the Philosopher\'s Stone was published in June1997 and achieved almost instant success. With the publication of the American edition, retitled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\'s Stone, in 1998, Rowling\'s books continued to make publishing history. Harry Potter climbed to the top of all the bestseller lists for children\'s and adult books. In Britain a separate edition of the first book appeared with a more "adult" dust jacket so that grown-ups reading it on trains and subways would not have to hide their copy behind a newspaper.J. K. Rowling lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, with her daughter Jessica and continues to work on writing the seven-book story of Harry Potter. 【单选题】

A.would not have to hide their copy behind a newspaper.

B.With the publication of the American edition,

C.By the time the train pulled into King\'s Cross Station

D.Young people prefer to read stories about cities.

E.enjoying the fantastic adventure stories.

F.during her daughter\'s naps

正确答案:F

答案解析:根据前文，Rowling是离婚的女人，和年幼的女儿相依为命，在爱丁堡一个小公寓里靠公众资助生活，她在咖啡馆的桌子上写成了《哈利波特和魔法石》。由此要想到，带着幼小的孩子的母亲在什么时间写作呢？一定是孩子睡觉的时候，所以选F。

3、A Country\'s Standard of LivingThe "standard of living" of any country means the average person\'s share of the goods and services the country produces. A country\'s standard of living, therefore, depends first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods such as food and clothing", and "services" such as transport and entertainment.A country\'s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country\'s natural resources. Some region of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have fertile (肥沃的) soil and a favorable climate, other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use, China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, For this and other reasons it was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, to produce more wealth than other country.A country\'s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. For example, Britain\'s wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural ____ would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus (剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products which would otherwise be lacking. A country\'s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, providing that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.【单选题】

A.organizations

B.resources

C.products

D.labors

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，要认真阅读原文。此处是说如果英国仅依靠国内生产的话，在食品和农产品上的财富就会少得多，此处要使用“产品”的含义，不是使用resources，资源，所以最佳答案是C。

4、Mary rarely speaks to Susan.【单选题】

A.slowly

B.seldom

C.weakly

D.constantly

正确答案:B

答案解析:玛丽很少和苏珊说话。本题难度不大，干扰项干扰不强。rarely和seldom都可指“很少地”，其他项和答案意义差异较大，最佳答案是B。

5、Shopping at Second - hand Clothing StoresWhen 33 years old Pete Barth was in college, shopping at second - hand clothing stores was just something he did－"like changing the tires on his car." He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of money by shopping for clothes at thrift shops."Even new clothes are fairly disposable (用后即丢掉的) and wear out after a couple of years," Barth said. "In thrift shops, you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes."Since then, Barth, who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found that there are all kinds of reasons for shopping for second - hand clothing. Some people, like him, shop to save money. Some shop for a crazy - looking shirt. And some shop as a means of conserving energy and helping the environment.Pat Akins, an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA) (救世军) thrift shop, said that, for her, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment."When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling," Akins said: "Also, why pay 30 dollars for a new coat when you can get another one for a lot less?"Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US－"some as big as department stores". All of the clothes are donated (捐赠), and when they have a surplus (盈余), they\'ll have "stuff a bag" specials, where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes for only 5 or 10 dollars.Julia Stocum, 22, points out, however, that the huge amount of second - hand clothing in the US is the result of American wastefulness."I\'d say that second - hand stores are the result of our wasteful, materialistic culture," said Slocum, who works for a pro - conservation organization, the center of a New American Dream. "Thrift shops prevent waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场), They give clothing a second life and provide cheaper clothing for those who can\'t afford to buy new ones and generate (创造) income for charities. They also provide a way for the wealthy and middle classes to shed (摆脱) the guilt for their level of consumption."What does Akins do? ____【单选题】

A.She is a soldier.

B.She is an accountant.

C.She is a saleswoman.

D.She is a road sweeper.

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题难度不大，答案依据不难找到。带着题干信息到文章定位，认真阅读文章第四段。第四段第一句话谈到，“Akins是旧货店的一名会计”，所以答案是B。
