1、Storms Sink ShipsRescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh. The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21. Hundreds more are missing ｏｒfeared dead. The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhakfi as strong winds ａｎｄ　rain hit the South Asian country. The government has since banned all ferries ａｎｄ　other boats from traveling at night during the April-May stormy season. One of the ferries, MV Mitali, was carrying far more people than it was supposed to. About 400 passengers fitted into a space made fｏｒjust 300, police said. The second ferry carried about 100 passengers. "The number of deaths is certain to rise." said an official in charge of the rescue work. "No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry ｏｒhow many of them survived. Ferries in Bangladesh don\'t always keep passenger lists, making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board. Besides the ferry accidents, at least 40 people were killed ａｎｄ　400 injured by lightning strikes, falling houses ａｎｄ　trees ａｎｄ　the sinking of small boats. Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh, as are boating accidents. Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people. Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures too many passengers in boats ａｎｄ　not enough checks on weather conditions. Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh. It is a country covered by about 230 rivers. Some 20,000 ferries use the nation\'s Waterways every year. ａｎｄ　many of them are dangerously overcrowded. Since 1977, more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents.How many passengers was MV Mitali designed to carry?【单选题】

A.500

B.100

C.400

D.300

正确答案:D

答案解析:该题问的是：渡船MV Mitali设计载客量是多少？答案在第4段第2句：把大约400个旅客装进了只能容纳300个旅客的空间。

2、A special educationVideodisc holds great promise of helping to meet the needs of American schoolchildren who have problems seeing, hearing, speaking, ｏｒsocializing. Almost eleven percent of the students aged 3-21 in this country have an impairment that affects their ability to benefit from a regular education program. Handicapped students require special education because they are often markedly different from most children in one ｏｒmore of the following ways: mentally retarded (发展迟缓的) learning-disabled, emotionally disturbed, deaf, visually handicapped, physically handicapped, ｏｒother health impairments. The education of these handicapped children is rewarding but challenging. A special education student usually needs a longer period of time to acquire information. Repetitive teaching techniques are often beneficial, ａｎｄ　indefatigable (孜孜不倦) consistency on the part of the teacher is frequently necessary. Interactive videodisc courseware has characteristics that can be capitalized upon to meet the challenges that special education poses. A videodisc program is infinitely patient. Repetition of any videodisc lesson can continue endlessly, ａｎｄ　designers can assure absolute consistency within a program. Most important, according to special educatｏｒWilliam Healey of the University of Arizona, is that videodisc "adds an extra dimension of realism fｏｒchildren who need graphic representations."Healey explained that deaf ａｎｄ　mentally retarded children especially have difficulty grasping figurative language ａｎｄ　higher-ｏｒｃｅｒlanguage concepts. He believes that fｏｒspecial education, the power of videodisc lies in the ability of the technology to visually represent language concepts normally taken fｏｒgranted by non-handicapped persons. Complex figurative language forms such as idioms ａｎｄ　metaphors come most readily to mind as being difficult fｏｒhandicapped learners. The special education mentioned in the text is mainly concerned with____. 【单选题】

A.genius students from day-care centers to colleges

B.students who are fond of computer video games

C.teachers of language in the University of Arizona

D.students who are either mentally ｏｒphysically disabled

正确答案:D

答案解析:由文章第1段“Handicapped students require special education because they are. . . ”可知，文中提及的特殊教育针对的是有智力和身体残疾的学生们，故选D。

3、Snow RangerThe two things, snow ａｎｄ　mountains, which are needed fｏｒa ski area are the two things that cause avalanches, large mass of snow ａｎｄ　ice crushing down the side of a mountain, often called "White Death. "It was the threat of the avalanche ａｎｄ　its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger. He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 1937, 38 at Alta, Utah, in Wasatch National Forest. This mountain valley was becoming well known to skiers. It was dangerous. In fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 ａｎｄ　another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a majｏｒski area. Thus, development of Alta ａｎｄ　other majｏｒski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service ｓｅｔout to do it, ａｎｄ　did with its corps of snow rangers. It takes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition. He must be a good skier ａｎｄ　a skilled mountain climber. He should have at least a high school education, ａｎｄ　the more college courses in geology, physics, ａｎｄ　related fields he has, the better. He studies snow, terrain, wind, ａｎｄ　weather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He learns to forecast avalanches ａｎｄ　to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength. The snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery, by blasting with TNT, ａｎｄ　by the difficult ａｎｄ　skillful art of skiing avalanches down. The snow ranger, dressed in a green parka which has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety fｏｒpeople on ski slopes. He pulls the trigger on a 75 mm. Recoilless rifle, skis waist deep in powder testing snow stability, ｏｒtalks with the ski area\'s operatｏｒas he goes about his work to protect the public from the hazards of deep snow on steep mountain slopes. A snow ranger himself must be____. 【单选题】

A.a college graduate.

B.a physicist.

C.a geologist.

D.a mountaineer.

正确答案:D

答案解析:A：大学毕业生；B：物理学家；C：地质学家；D：登山运动员。依据常识，D最合理。如果依据原文，文章第5段首句说“要成为雪地管理员需要很多的条件”，所以判断答案相关句应在该段中。该段说“雪地管理员应是优秀的登山运动员”，所以答案是D。

4、The carCars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. ａｎｄ　even if a person is poｏｒhe doesn\'t feel really poｏｒwhen he has a car. Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn\'t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United Stated a nation on wheels. ａｎｄ　it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reasons why the car becomes so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one ａｎｄ　Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable ａｎｄ　cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go anylace without spending a lot of money. The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient ａｎｄ　inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the country as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don\'t like to wait fｏｒa bus, ｏｒa train ｏｒeven a plane. They don\'t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. ａｎｄ　this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. The gas shortage has caused a big problem fｏｒAmericans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas. The real solution to the gas shortage problem is【单选题】

A.to make less cars

B.to develop a public transportation system

C.to make gas-saving cars

D.to develop train service

正确答案:C

答案解析:文章最后一句“The real solution will have to be a new kind ofcar, one that does not use so much gas”，不使用很多汽油的车，当然就是gas-saving cars（节能汽车）了。

5、Strike in MTV NetworksScores of workers from MTV Networks walked off the job yesterday afternoon, filling the sidewalk outside the headquarters of its corporate parent, Viacom, to protest recent changes in benefits. The walkout highlighted the concerns of a category of workers who are sometimes called permalancers： permanent freelancers who work like full-time employees but do not receive the same benefits.Waving signs that read "Shame on Viacom", the workers, most of them in their 20s, demanded that MTV Networks reverse a plan to reduce health ａｎｄ　dental benefits fｏｒfreelancers beginning Jan. 1. In a statement, MTV Networks noted that its benefits program fｏｒfull-time employees had also undergone changes, ａｎｄ　it emphasized that the plan fｏｒfreelancers was still highly competitive within the industry. Many freelancers receive no corporate benefits. But some of the protesters asserted that corporations were competing to see which could provide the most mediocre health care coverage. Matthew Yonda, who works at Nickelodeon, held a sign that labeled the network "Sick-elodeon". "I\'ve worked here every day fｏｒthree years-I\'m not a freelancer," Mr. Yonda said. "They just call us freelancers in ｏｒｃｅｒto bar us from getting the same benefits as employees."The changes to the benefits package were announced last Tuesday. Freelancers were told that they would become eligible fｏｒbenefits after 160 days of work, beginning in January. While that eased previous eligibility rules, which required freelancers to work fｏｒ52 weeks before becoming eligible, it would have required all freelancers not yet eligible fｏｒbenefits to start the waiting period over again on Jan. 1. The 401 (k) plan was also removed On Thursday, acknowledging the complaints, MTV Networks reinstated the 401 (k) plan ａｎｄ　said freelancers who had worked consistently since March would be eligible.Fueled by a series of blog posts on the media web site Gawker-the first post was headlined "The Viacom Permalance Slave System" -a loose cohort of freelancers created protest stickers ａｎｄ　distributed walkout fliers last week. Caroline O\'Hare, a unit manager who has worked fｏｒMTV fｏｒmore than two years, said the new health care plan-with higher deductibles ａｎｄ　a $ 2,000 cap on hospital expenses each year-had provoked outrage. "They think they can treat us like children that don\'t have families, mortgages ｏｒdreams of retirement," she said.Outside Viacom\'s headquarters, several workers held posters with the words, "There\'s too many of us to ignore." It was unclear how many freelancers are on the company\'s payroll; an MTV Networks spokeswoman said the figure was not known because it rises ａｎｄ　falls throughout the year. The company has 5,500 full-time employees, excluding freelancers, around the world.Two freelancers ａｎｄ　one full-time employee, who asked not to be identified fｏｒfear of retribution, estimated that the percentage of freelancers in some departments exceeded 75 percent. Another labｏｒaction is expected to take place outside Viacom later this week. Members of the Writers Guild of America, who have been on strike fｏｒfive weeks, are expected to picket there on Thursday.Towards MTV Networks\' change on the benefits plan, the author\'s attitude can be said to be ______.【单选题】

A.affirmative

B.negative

C.biased

D.neutral

正确答案:B

答案解析:态度题。题干考查的是对于MTV网络在福利方案方面所作的调整，作者持怎样的态度。根据上下文可以看出，文章措辞比较客观，但根据作者引用的例子可以看出，作者对新福利方案还是持否定态度的。故正确答案为B。
