1、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, forwe 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 formany years from civil and external wars, Forthis and other reasons it was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and ____ 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. Forexample, Britain\'s wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible forher surplus (剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad forthe 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】

2、Geology and Heap(1)The importance of particular metals in the human diet has been realized within the past few decades, and the idea that geology might be related to health has been recognized fora number of elements such as iodine, zinc and selenium. Forexample, soils with low iodine contents produce crops, and animals deficient in iodine. A lack of iodine in the human diet leads to some serious diseases.(2)The ultimate source of metals within the human body is rocks, which weather into soil, gaining orlosing some of their chemical constituents. The crops we eat selectively remove from the soil the elements that they require forgrowth. The water we drink contains trace elements leached from rock and soil. Thus the geology and geochemistry of the environment have effects on the chemistry and health of plants, animals and people.(3)So far there is no data to suggest that people living on metal-rich soils experience a potential health hazard. The levels of metals within naturally contaminated soils are generally not high enough to cause serious health problems. Living on metal-rich soils does not represent a health risk unless large quantities of soil are digested ormetal-rich dust is inhaled. However, small children are particularly exposed to metal-rich topsoil in playgrounds and gardens. They are also the most likely ones to eat potentially dangerous metal-rich soil.(4)Heavy metals are persistent: they do not break down to other chemicals in the environment. Industrially polluted sites usually undergo intensive clean-up and rehabilitation because heavy metals are a health concern once they enter the food chain. Some trace metals are alleged to cause cancer and are also known to cause poisoning(5)In contrast, naturally contaminated soils have not been subject too risk assessment studies and rehabilitation measures, despite the fact that they frequently possess metal concentrations well above those of such polluted by humans and above environmental quality criteria.(6)There is a vital need to understand the potential risks and long-term health effects of living on naturally contaminated soils. Future environmental investigations of naturally polluted soils should concentrate on the potential pathways of metals into the food chain and human body. Geologists should be part of such studies as they can provide the essential background information on rock and soil chemistry as well as the chemical forms of heavy metal pollution.Paragraph 4 ______【单选题】
A.No Evidence to Indicate Bad of Naturally Contaminated Soil
B.Potential Hazards of Human Contaminated Soils
C.Research an Channels of Heavy Metals Getting into Human Food Chain
D.Geology and Health Problems
E.Rocks----the Ultimate Source of Soil Pollution
F.Long-term Health Effects on Children
正确答案:B
答案解析:第4段说,受到工业污染的土壤含有重金属,而重金属很稳定,不容易降解。因此某些微量重金属能使人致癌和中毒。
3、Indian\'s NamesEach Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn one forhimself. But his playmates would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen. Often it was not pleasing, such as Bow Legs orBad Boy. But sometimes a name fit so well that the youngster found it difficult to shake it off. If he could not earn a better one from a war later, he could be stuck with a name like Bow Legs forthe rest of his life.The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough forhis first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned from the war, the whole tribe would gather and observe the ceremony in which he would be given his name by the chief. If he had done well, he would get a good name. Otherwise he might be called Crazy Wolf orMan-Afraid-of-a Horse. So an Indian\'s name told his record ordescribed the kind of man he was.A man was given many chances to improve his name, however, if in a later battle he was brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some of our great fighters had as many as twelve names, all good and each better than the last.An Indian\'s names belonged to him forthe rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away because names were assigned by the tribe, not the family. So no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.Sometimes an Indian would be asked to give his name to a son who had performed a noticeable deed. I know of only three orfour times when this happened. It is the rarest honorfora person -the honorof assuming his father\'s name.Why names were important to an Indian?【单选题】
A.Because they were given by the chief of the tribe.
B.Because they described the character of a man.
C.Because he got his names from the older generation.
D.Because names were earned in battle.
正确答案:B
答案解析:第2段最后一句:名字告诉我们他的记录或者表明这是一个什么样的人,因此选B。
4、Migrant (移民的) WorkersIn the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency forworkers 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 majorattraction .Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿的) advantage. Forexample, the ______ living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other forsafety and comfort. In a similar way, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the lack 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 majorproblem 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 forthem 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.necessary
B.normal
C.difficult
D.good
正确答案:C
答案解析:第三段第一句是本段的主题句,意思是:有时候不利条件也会产生有利的因素。接着应是具体说明。空格所在句的大概意思是:当工人们不得不彼此依赖以寻求安全和心理安慰时,大家的友谊随之增深了。这是一种得到补偿的有利的东西,那么空格应填入的最合适的词显然是difficult(困难)。necessary:必需的;normal:正常的;good:好的。将这些选项填人后,句子前半部分表达的不是不利的因素,而是有利的因素,跟主题句不能构成连贯的语段。
5、DyslexiaAs many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disorcercalled 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 inventorThomas 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 disorcerwere not mentally slow ordisabled. 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 orcreative.The first cases of dyslexia in Europe were discovered less than a century ago.【单选题】
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
正确答案:A
答案解析:题目中的关键词是专有名词Europe,我们很快在第2段第5行找到答案所在句。通过对比题目和答案所在句,我们发现从recognize—discover,more than 80 years ago—less than a century ago都属于同义改写,但唯一有差别的是文中提到的两个地方: Europe和 the United States在80多年前发现了读写困难症病例. 但题目中仅仅提到了Europe。对于这个问题,我们可以进行如下推理:设A= Europe,B=the United States,实际上这道题就变为一道推理题:如果A+B正确,那么A是否正确?实际上很简单:A+B成立(正确)的充分必要条件是AUB正确,即A正确或者B正确。经过这样的推理,我们知道该题的答案应为A。

A.opposing
B.limiting
C.including
D.asking
正确答案:C
答案解析:很显然,整个句子的意思是:中东引进了包括韩国和日本在内的许多国家的工人。因此including(包括)是正确的答案。
7、What are my chances of promotion if I stay here?【单选题】
A.retirement
B.advertisement
C.advancement
D.replacement
正确答案:C
答案解析:如果我还待在这干,我有升职的机会吗?promotion指“提升,晋级”,和advancement的引申意义“晋升”是同义词,A项指“退休”,B项指“广告”,D项指“代替”,三项的干扰性不强。本题考查的是advancement的引申意义。
8、Britain\'s Solo SailorEllen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight, going out on sailing trips with her aunt. She loved it so much that she saved her money forthree years to buy her first small sailing boat. When she was 18, she sailed alone around Britain and won the "Young Sailorof the Year" award.Ellen became famous in 2001. Aged only 24, she was one of the only two women who entered the Vendee Globe round the world solo race, which lasts 100 days. Despite of many problems, she came the second in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen\'s personality.

Then she took a one - way ticket to France, bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht (游艇), slept under it while she was repairing it, and then she raced it 4,000 kilometres across the Atlantic in 1997, alone for33 days.Ellen has to learn many things, because sailing single - handed means that she has to be her own captain, electrician, sailmaker, engineer, doctor, journalist, cameraman and cooker, She also has to be very fit, and because of the dangers of sleeping forlong periods of time she\'s in the middle of the ocean, she has trained herself to sleep forabout 20 minutes at a time.and she needs courage. Once, in the middle of the ocean, she had to climb the mast (桅杆) of a boat to repair the sails at four o\'clock in the morning, with 100 kph winds blowing around her. It took her many hours to make the repairs, Ellen says: "I was exhausted when came down. It\'s hard to describe how it feels to be up there. It\'s like trying to hold onto a big pole, which forme is just too big to get my arms around, with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off".But in her diary, Ellen also describes moments which is worthwhile (值得的) :"A beautiful sunrise started the day, with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun.

B.She has to be her own teacher.
C.She has to be very fit.
D.She has trained herself to sleep forabout 20 minutes at a time.
正确答案:B
答案解析:本题是判断题,有一定难度,选项的干扰较大,需要确定好文章里sailmaker的意思,需要紧扣文章原意。选项里A,B干扰较大,因为,C,D很明显是文章里明确提到的,可以排除。第四段谈到,“Ellen必须学会许多事情,因为单独航行意味着她必须是自己的船长、电工、修帆工……”Sailmaker是指“修船工”,所以A的意思和原文是一致的,可以排除。Captain,船长,不是教师,所以B是错误的,答案是B。
