1、March MadnessFｏｒthe rest of the month, an epidemic (流行病) will sweep across the US. It will keep kids stay home from school. College students will ignore piles of homework. Employees will suddenly lose their abilities to concentrate.The disease, known as "March Madness", refers to the nearly 65 teams in US men\'s college basketball tournament, it begins on March 15 ａｎｄ　lasts through the beginning of April. Teams compete against each other in a single elimination tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will become the prisoners of basketball festival madness.The fun comes partly from guessing the winners fｏｒevery game. Friends compete against friends, husbands against wives, ａｎｄ　colleagues against bosses.Big name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little - known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, fｏｒmany Americans, is an exciting experience. Last year the little - known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.College basketball players are not paid, so the game is making a name fｏｒtheir university ａｎｄ　themselves. But ft doesn\'t mean money isn\'t involved. About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will draw over $ 500 million in advertising revenue this year, topping the post - season revenue, including the NBA (全国篮球协会).Which of the following is NOT an instance of "March Madness"? ____【单选题】

2、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 fｏｒclothes 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 fｏｒshopping fｏｒsecond - hａｎｄ　clothing. Some people, like him, shop to save money. Some shop fｏｒa 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, fｏｒher, 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 fｏｒa new coat when you can get another one fｏｒa 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 fｏｒonly 5 ｏｒ10 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 fｏｒa 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 fｏｒthose who can\'t afford to buy new ones ａｎｄ　generate (创造) income fｏｒcharities. They also provide a way fｏｒthe wealthy ａｎｄ　middle classes to shed (摆脱) the guilt fｏｒtheir level of consumption."The word "thrift" in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by【单选题】

A.charity.

B.one dollar.

C.first class.

D.two dollars.

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要认真阅读文章，答案依据主要在文章第六段。本题不能靠查词典查单词意思来确定答案。第六段谈到旧货店的所有衣服均为捐赠所得，最后一段有谈到了旧货店所得的收入都捐赠给慈善机构，所以答案是A。

3、New Product Will Save LivesDrinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs, which can cause illness. A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it, to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr. Adrian Patton, who started Genera five years ago. He ａｎｄ　his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.Andy Headland, Genera\'s marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA ａｎｄ　forecast good American sales fｏｒit. Genera has already sold 11 0fits tests at $42,500 a time in the UK ａｎｄ　has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government.Genera was formed five years ago ａｎｄ　until October last year had only five employees; it now employs 14. Mr. Headlａｎｄ　believes that the company should make around $19 million by the end of the year in the UK alone.Genera Technologies has developed a method that determines whether water is clean.【单选题】

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

4、The Race into SpaceAmerican millionaire Dennis Tito will always be famous. He was the first tourist in space. "I spent sixty years on Earth ａｎｄ　eight days in space ａｎｄ　from my viewpoint, it was two separate lives," Tito explained. He loved his time in space. "Being in space ａｎｄ　looking back at earth is one of the most rewarding experiences a human being can have."This kind of experience isn\'t cheap. It cost $ 20 million. However, Tito achieved his dream, so he was happy. "Fｏｒme it was a life dream. It was a dream that began when didn\'t have any money," he told reporters.On 30 April 2002, Mark Shuttleworth became the world\'s second space tourist. Shuttleworth is a South African businessman. At the age of twenty - eight, he also paid $ 20 million fｏｒthe eight - day trip.Both Tito ａｎｄ　Shuttleworth bought their tickets from a company called Space Adventures. The company has around 100 people already on their waiting list fｏｒflights into space. The spaceship to take them doesn\'t exist yet.Many of the customers are people who like adventure. They are the kind of people who also want to climb Mount Qomolangma. Other customers are people who love space. However, these people are worried. Because it’s so expensive, only very rich people can go into space. They want space travel to be available to more people.That day may soon be here. Inter Orbital Systems (IOS) plans to send up to four tourists a week into space. The tours will depart from an islａｎｄ　in Tonga. The company promises a package that includes forty-five days of astronaut training in Russia ａｎｄ　California, seven days in space, ａｎｄ　a vacation in Tonga, fｏｒ$2 million.However, space flight is still very dangerous. Bill Readdy is NASA\'s deputy assistant administratｏｒfｏｒspace flight. He says that the chances of dying are about 1 in 500. Because of this, it may take time before space tourism really takes off. You might be able to go up, but will you come down?Both Tito ａｎｄ　Shuttleworth have climbed Mount Qomolangma.【单选题】

6、Why People Use Pseudonyms (假名字)?You can\'t choose the name you are given at birth, but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood. Of course, most people never change their names even if they feel unhappy about them. However some people do take this course of action－particularly artists! What makes an artist want to change their name? Sometimes it\'s fｏｒpurely personal reasons, such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile, Neftalf Reyes. He didn\'t want his father to know he was writing poetry, so he changed his name to Pablo Neruda when he was a young man. At other times the reason may appear strange, take the case of the Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa, who wrote under 75 different names. The reason? "When I use a different name, I always write in a different way," he explained. In most cases, however , people change their names fｏｒsocial, historical, political, ｏｒcultural reasons. Here are some of the most common: reason. The person\'s real name is just too long ａｎｄ　difficult to remember. Let\'s be honest, Madonna Louise Ciccone is not as easy to remember as just plain Madonna. ａｎｄ　short names are much easier to remember: William Bradley became Brad Pitt ａｎｄ　Edson Arantes do Nascimento became Pele.Sometimes names are changed fｏｒmarketing ____ . Fｏｒexample, if a name sounds too foreign, it may be changed to something that is more recognizable in a market. So in the film world, Ramon Estsvez adopted the name Martin Sheen. ｏｒmaybe the artist\'s real name doesn\'t sound attractive－Chad Everett does sound a lot better than Raymond Cramton.Artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire. Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Boo Dylan because of his admiration fｏｒthe Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.Another reason may be practical: in the past, women found it very difficult to get published. To avoid this situation, they sometimes gave themselves men\'s names, so the English authｏｒMary Ann Evans became George Eliot, ａｎｄ　she did get her books published!【单选题】

A.purposes

B.thoughts

C.ends

D.goals

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定难度，D干扰较大，文中表达的是“有时候改名字是出于市场策划的需要”，按照英语使用习惯，选项里只能使用purposes，答案是A。

7、Three Ways to Become More CreativeMost people believe they don\'t have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn\'t always connected with great works of art ｏｒideas. People at work ａｎｄ　in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer ｏｒyou just want to expａｎｄ　your mind! There are three techniques to help you.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas ａｎｄ　trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve ｏｒthe job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea ｏｒobject, fｏｒexample, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles, light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match ｏｒtake him out fｏｒthe night. Imagine that normal limitations don\'t exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal ａｎｄ　the new possibilities. If, fｏｒexample, your goal is to learn to ski (滑雪), you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time ａｎｄ　the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, ｏｒevery Monday in January.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators (谈判者) use this technique in business, ａｎｄ　so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can\'t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself "in their shoes". The best fishermen think they are the fish!According to the passage, when we become adults ____.【单选题】

A.we can still learn to be more creative

B.most of us are no longer creative

C.we are not as imaginative as children

D.we are unwilling to be creative

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题难度不大，不要先看选项，吃透题干意思，回到原文定位，答案就在文章开头：Most people believe they don\'t have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. 句意不难理解，选项里creative替换了原文的imagination，最佳答案是A。

8、Intelligent Machines1. Medical scientists are already putting computer chips (芯片) directly into the brain to help people who have Parkinson\'s disease, but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us? Ray Kurzweil is authｏｒof the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines ａｎｄ　is one of the world\'s best computer research scientists. He is researching the possibilities.2. Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices. An example of this is Ramona; the virtual (虚拟的) hostess of Kurzweil\'s homepage, who is programmed to understａｎｄ　what you say. Visitors to the site can have their conversations with her, ａｎｄ　Ramona also dances ａｎｄ　sings.3. Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities. One of his ideas is a "seeing machine". This will be "like a friend that could describe what is going on in the visible world", he explains. Blind people will use a visual sensｏｒ(探测器) which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This sensｏｒwill describe to the person everything it sees.4. Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the "listening machine". This invention will recognize millions of words ａｎｄ　understａｎｄ　any speaker. The listening machine will also be able to trans late into other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it.5. But it is not just about helping people with disabilities. Looking further into the future, Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness onto a computer. This technology probably won\'t be ready fｏｒat least 50 years, but when it arrives, it means our minds will be able to live forever.Paragraph 4 ____【单选题】

A.A new pair of eyes

B.Computers that can communicate

C.Everlasting consciousness on a computer

D.Time to break off a friendship

E.An authｏｒａｎｄ　researcher

F.A new pair of ears

正确答案:F

答案解析:本题难度不大，第四段有明显的主旨句：Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the“listening machine”，主要讲其如何帮助聋哑人听见东西。F项A new pair of ears，“一对新的耳朵”，可以概括本段内容，答案是F。

9、Why Is the Native Language Learnt So Well?How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge ｏｒexperience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty ａｎｄ　inexact command. What accounts fｏｒthis difference?Despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behaviｏｒof the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, ａｎｄ　right use of words ａｎｄ　right structure. He drinks in all the words ａｎｄ　expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.Then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. The child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures ａｎｄ　facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice ａｎｄ　snow in June ｏｒscorching heat in January. ａｎｄ　what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again ａｎｄ　again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood ａｎｄ　fulfilled.Finally, though a child\'s "teachers" may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close ａｎｄ　personal. They take great pains to make their lessons easy.So far as language is concerned, the teacher’s close personal relationship with the student is more important than the professional language teaching training he has received.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:C

答案解析:题干大意：就语言教学而言，教师与学生的亲密关系比学生接受的专门培训更重要。文章最后一段提到了“教师”，但只是提到：“教师”与学生的关系是亲密的，而题干的说法与原文并不矛盾，所以该问题句的信息在文章中“没提到”。

10、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 fｏｒthe 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 fｏｒthis, 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 fｏｒyears 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 ｏｒdivorce 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!How do people usually feel in their marriage life? 【单选题】

A.They are much healthier.

B.They feel no longer single.

C.They are more satisfied.

D.They suffer a lot less.

正确答案:C

答案解析:文中第4段第3句的后半句说得很清楚，结了婚的人比单身的人更满足。A、D选项提到的是实际情况而不是婚后人们的感觉，因此不对。文中并没有提到选项B所说的情况。
