1、The State of Marriage TodayIs there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times and extramarital affairs will be even more common than they are now.But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didn\'t have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so they don\'t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now cohabit and don\'t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriages survive. The statistics are deceptive because there is a higher number of divorces in second and third marriages than in first marriages.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn\'t. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress and its consequences, such as heart problems, and married men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of our relationships!What does "this is no longer the case" in paragraph two mean?【单选题】

A.It is not necessary to get married any more.

B.Women do not need a husband any longer.

C.Women are not economically dependant any more.

D.Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now.

正确答案:C

答案解析:第2段第4句、第5句说得很清楚,妇女们如今在外工作在经济上不再依赖她们的丈夫,觉得无须维持行失败的婚姻。

2、Houses of the FutureWhat will houses be like after thirty years? No one really knows, but architects are trying to predict. ____Future houses will have to be flexible. some of us will be working from home. So we will have to be able to use areas of the house for work for part of the day and for living for the rest. Families grow and change with children arriving, growing up and leaving home. The house of the future will have to grow and change with the family. Nothing will be as fixed as it is now. The house will always be changing to meet changing needs.Everyone agrees that after 30 years we will be living in "intelligent" houses. We will be able to talk to our kitchen machines and discuss with them what to do. Like this: "We\'ll be having a party this weekend. What food shall we cook?" And the machine will tell us what food we will have to buy and how to cook it. We will be able to leave cooking to the machines, just tasting things from time to time to check.The house of the future will be personal and each house will be different. You will be able to change the color of the wall easily. You won\'t have to paint them and you\'ll be able to tell the wall to change the color! And if you don\'t like the color today, you will be able to have a new one. The only thing you won\'t be able to do is move the house somewhere else!【单选题】

A.You will be able to change the color of the wall easily.

B.The only thing you won\'t be able to do is move the house somewhere else!

C.And the machine will tell us what food we will have to buy and how to cook it.

D.What will our home be like then?

E.The house of the future will have to grow and change with the family.

F.The kids might take their bedrooms with them as they leave.

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题的难度较大。需要认真阅读文章,特别是第一段和第二段,可用排除法和代入法。本题的上文谈到了没有人会知道30年后房子是什么样子,但建筑家们正在努力地预测。开头第一句用的是疑问句,下文的第一句就谈到未来的房子要十分灵活,用的是陈述句,可以推测此处很可能继续对未来房屋进行发问来展开文章的叙述,回来看选项,可以先排除A,B,C,F项,把D,E代人文章里,可以发现,D更能符合上下文语境和逻辑,是最佳答案。

3、We explored the possibility of expansion at the conference.【单选题】

A.offered

B.investigated

C.included

D.accepted.

正确答案:B

4、G8 SummitLeaders of the Group of Eight Major Industrialized Nations (G8) will meet in Scotland in July this year. Representatives from China, India, Mexico, South Africa and Brazil have also been invited. Here\'s what the G8 leaders want from the meeting.British Prime Minister Tony Blair wants the G8 to cancel debt to the world\'s poorest countries. He wants them to double aid to Africa to 50 billion pounds by 2010. He has also proposed reducing subsidies to Western farmers and removing restrictions on African exports. This has not got the approval of all members because it will hurt their agricultural interests. On climate change, Blair wants concerted (共同的) action by reducing carbon emissions (排放). US President George W. Bush agrees to give help to Africa. But he says he doesn\'t like the idea of increasing aid to countries as it will increase corruption. Bush said he would not sign an agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions at the summit, according to media. The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol(《京都议定书》). Although the US is the world\'s biggest polluter, Bush so far refuses to believe there is sufficient scientific data to establish beyond a doubt that there is a problem.French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa and climate change. He is determined to get the US to sign the climate change deal.German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder remains doubtful of Blair\'s Africa proposals. Schroder\'s officials have dismissed the notion that money will solve Africa\'s problems as"old thinking". Berlin says that African states should only receive extra money if they can prove they\'ve solved the corruption problem.Russian President Vladimir Putin was doubtful about the value of more aid to Africa. But he has seen a way to make this work to his advantage. Putin intends to use the aid to Africa as a springboard (跳板) next year to propose aid to the former Soviet Republics of Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Moldova.Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi\'s priorities are a seat on the UN Security Council, for which he will be lobbying (游说) at the summit. And he\'s concerned about the Democratic People\'s Republic of Korea\'s nuclear weapons programme.The G8 countries include China, India, Mexico, South Africa And Brazil.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:B

答案解析:通过专有名词G8以及题目中出现的中国、印度、墨西哥、南非和巴西这几个国家回到原文,很轻松地就可以定位到第一段:Representatives from China,India,Mexico.South Africa and Brazil have also been invited.由于中国、印度等国的代表是受邀出席,可以得出这几个国家不是G8成员国。故选B。

5、WealthAmong the more colorful characters of Leadville\'s golden age were H. AW. Tabor and his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as "Baby Doe". Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin school teacher in Vermont. With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, or perhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. "Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here. " he said.As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville\'s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to "grubstake" prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or "grub", while they looked for ore, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for "grub". Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. "Oh help yourself. One more time won\'t make any difference," He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountainside and began to dig, After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the "Pittsburgh Mine," made l,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for$117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant governor of the state.Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT ____.【单选题】

A.because of the citizens

B.because great deposits of lead is expected to be found there

C.because it could bring good fortune to Tabor

D.because it was renamed

正确答案:C

答案解析:因为Leadville可以为Tabor带来巨富。这一点不是Leadville得名的原因,因为在文章第2段讲到这一点时,提及三个原因: A(Tabor成为当地的居民代表人物); B(在 Leadville有丰富的铅的储藏量);D(Leadville是因为Tabor重要而起的名),唯独C没有,因为到后来发现是银矿才给他带来巨富。

6、Migrant (移民的) WorkersIn the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another. While some countries have restricted most jobs to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East, where increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oil workers from the USA and Europe. It has brought in workers from many countries, including South Korea and Japan.In view of the difficult living and working conditions in the Middle East, it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a major attraction .Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿的) advantage. For example, the difficult living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other for safety and comfort. In a similar way, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the ______ of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country.One major problem which affects migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be expected since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. In any case, migrant workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive.【单选题】

A.range

B.lack

C.lot

D.number

正确答案:B

答案解析:空格所在句子是对主题句的进一步说明。该句的大意是:同样地,由于缺乏娱乐设施,许多移民工人可以积攒大量的钱。“缺乏”在英语中用“lack”表达。

7、Woman workThough some people have suggested that women should return to housework in order to leave more jobs for men, the idea has been rejected by both women and men in public opinion polls.Lately some union officials have suggested that too many women are employed in types of work more ____ for men and that women should step aside to make way for unemployed young men. They argue that women, especially women in their childbearing years,actually delay economic development and result in productivity, poor quality and inefficiency.To solve the problem, they suggested that working women stay at home while their husbands or brothers were given double wages. They argue that under these circumstances, families would remain their same level of income, and women could run the house and raise children much better,The suggestion, however , has been flatly rejected by 9 0ut of 10 people polled .Some other people have suggested another way called "phased employment" theory. The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave from her job when she is seven months pregnant and stay off the job until her baby reaches the age of 3. It suggested that women on leave receive 75 percent of their normal salary and be allowed to return to work after the three-year period. This will benefit children, women, their families and the society and it definitely seems to be more acceptable than the suggestion that women return to their homes forever.【单选题】

A.available

B.suitable

C.reliable

D.practical

正确答案:B

答案解析:be suitable for:适合,符合上下文。available:可得到的、可利用的;reliable:可信赖的、信得过的;practical:实际的。

8、A New Doctors\' DilemmaWhen Christian Barnard, a South African doctor, performed the first human heart transplant in1967, the result was a worldwide moral debate on the ethics of transplanting organs. Hearts were not the first human organs to be transplanted but, in this case, if a donor gave his or her heart, he or she would obviously and necessarily die (or be dead). Kidney transplants, which were already quite common in 1967, often involved the transfer of a single kidney from a close living relative. The chances of survival of the donor were somewhat diminished because he now had only one kidney and if that kidney were affected by disease, he would not have a healthy kidney in reserve. Nevertheless, the donor would certainly not necessarily die.Undoubtedly, another reason why the first heart transplant was so controversial was the fact that we associate so many personality traits with the heart. Questions were asked of the type: "If a person had a different heart, would he still be the same person?", or "If doctors needed a dying person\'s heart, would they tend to declare him dead prematurely?", and so on.Today, not only hearts and kidneys, but also such extremely delicate organs as lungs and livers, are transplanted. These developments have led to a far higher or proportion of successful operations and this, in turn, has led to greater demand for transplants. At the same time, many of the original moral questions surrounding heart transplants have been almost forgotten.However, as a result of the heavy demand for organs, a new moral dilemma has emerged. For example, in the United States there are many people who would survive iflungs were available for transplanting. In fact, about 80% of them die before a suitable donor is found. In these circumstances who would decide if a donor were found whose lungs were equally suitable for two potential recipients?This problem is made worse by the fact that many patients, or their families, become desperate to find a donor. Some succeed in publicizing their situation in newspapers, to politicians or on television. Sometimes, as a result, suitable donors are found. But what would happen if another patient needed the organ more than the one who got the publicity? Who would decide if the other patient should get the organ? Would it be the doctors? Or the donor? Or the family who got the publicity? If such a dilemma developed it would be very difficult to resolve and it would be a matter of life or death to the patients involved.Which of the following is true?【单选题】

A.Kidney transplant operations were not corumon until 1967.

B.Kidney s for transplant operations had to come from dead people in 1967.

C.Kidney transplant operations were performed before heart transplant operations.

D.Heart transplant operations were as common as kidney transplant operations.

正确答案:C

答案解析:A选项的时间不对;B选项的内容不对,活体可以做肾脏移植;D选项说心脏移植是个突破,不是common thing,,因此C正确。

9、Operatunity1. Operatunity is a TV talent show for amateur opera singers, The winners get the chance to sing with the English National Opera. When two housewives, Denise Leigh and Jane Gilchrist won in 2002, their lives changed forever, As they sang Verdi\'s Rigoletto at the Coliseum (音乐厅) in Rome, they were transformed from working mothers into opera celebrities (名人).2.

They couldn’t take their children with them while they were away singing, so they had to organise childcare. However, there\'s been no problem with the physical side of singing: "We didn\'t have to worry about that as we\'ve had lots of help and wonderful voice training." says Jane. They also had to learn to deal with the media." The kids loved the fact that they could stay up and watch us on TV, but I just couldn\'t understand why some newspapers were more interested in the fact I divorced at 21, rather than the fact I had just sung at the Coliseum, says Denise.While traveling, Denise and Jane had to ask someone to ____.【单选题】

10、Ford(1)Ford\'s great strength was the manufacturing process not invention. Long before he started a car company, he was a worker, known for picking up pieces of metal and wire and turning them into machines. He started putting cars together in 1891, although it was by no means the first popular automobile, the Model T showed the world just how creative Ford was at combining technology and market.(2)The company\'s assembly line alone. threw America\'s Industrial Revolution into overdrive(高速运转). Instead of having workers put together the entire car, Ford\'s friends, who were great toolmakers from Scotland, organized teams that added parts to each Model T as it moved down a line. By the time Ford\' s Highland Park plant was humming (嗡嗡作响) along in 1914, the world\'s first automatic conveyor belt could turn out a car every 93 minutes.(3)The same year Henry Ford shocked the world with the $5 a day minimum Wage scheme, the greatest contribution he had ever made. The average Wage in the auto industry then was $2. 34 for a9-hour shift. Ford not only doubled that he also took an hour off the workday. In those years it was unthinkable that a man could be paid that much for doing something that didn\'t involve an awful lot of training or education. The Wall Street Journal called the plan "an economic crime" and critics everywhere laughed at Ford.(4)But as the wage increased later to daily $10, it proved a critical component of Ford\'s dream to make the automobile accessible to all The critics were too stupid to understand that because Ford had lowered his costs per car, the higher wages didn\'t matter, except for making it possible for more people to buy cars.paragraph 3 ____【单选题】
