1、Ceasing to Wear TiesIt\'s useless. It\'s dirty. It spreads disease. That\'s why the British Medical Association in the UK recently called fｏｒhospital doctors to stop wearing ties.That leads to another question. Why does anyone wear a tie? Ties serve no purpose. They do not cover any part of your body ａｎｄ　keep you warm. They always seem to get covered in food stains. Perhaps that is the purpose of the tie. It lets everyone know what you just ate.Ties have an odd history. Soldiers from Croatia, in Eastern Europe, served as mercenaries (雇佣军) in various conflicts in the 17th century. They were identified by brightly colored pieces of silk worn around the neck. Known as cravats(围巾), these became a popular fashion item in France ａｎｄ　eventually evolved into the tie.It\'s an interesting story, but it doesn\'t tell us why men want to put useless pieces of cloth ｏｒsilk around their necks. The answer seems to be about identification(身份证明 ). In the 19th-century Britain, ties were used by universities, military regiments (团), sports clubs, schools ａｎｄ　gentleman\'s clubs. Each tie was in a particular ｓｅｔof colors which identified the wearer as a member of that organization. Wearing ties was also the mark of Britain\'s most powerful classes. That made the tie itself a symbol of power ａｎｄ　respect. ａｎｄ　that led it to be adopted by a much larger class-the business class.You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery, so wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used his brain to make a living, rather than his hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who did not wear a piece of colored silk around his neck. This is how millions of people came to wear ties across the world.Is there a future fｏｒties? The signs are not promising. Many political leaders, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties.Ties were first worn by the Croatian soldiers________.【单选题】

A.they were workmen

B.they were members of different organizations

C.hospital doctors stop wearing ties

D.who does not always wear a tie

E.who served as mercenaries in many conflicts in the 18th century

F.who does not want to live like a king

正确答案:E

答案解析:根据题干中的线索词Croatian soldiers可定位到第三段第二句：Soldiers from Croatia, in Eastern Europe, served as mercenaries（雇佣军）in various conflicts in the 17th century. E选项who served as mercenaries in many conflicts in the 17th century是原句的同义复现，故E为正确答案。

2、LanguageWhen one looks back upon the fifteen hundred years that are the life span of the English language, he should be able to notice a number of significant truths. The history of language is a history of constant change-at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. Language a living growing organism, it has never been static. Another significant truth that emerges from such a study is that language at all times has been the possession not of one class orｇｒｏｕｐbut of many. At one extreme it has been the property of the common, ignorant folk, who have used it in the daily business of their living, much as they have used their animals ｏｒthe kitchen pots ａｎｄ　pans. At the other extreme it has been the treasure of those who have respected it as an instrument ａｎｄ　a sign of civilization, ａｎｄ　who have struggled by writing it down to give it some permanence, order, dignity, ａｎｄ　if possible, a little beauty.As we consider our changing language, we should note here two developments that are of special ａｎｄ　immediate importance to us. One is that since the time of the Anglo-Saxons there has been an almost complete reversal of the different relationship of words in a sentence. Anglo-Saxon(old English) was a language of many inflections. Modern English has few inflections. We must now depend largely on word ｏｒｃｅｒａｎｄ　function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words. Function words, you should understand, are words such as prepositions, conjunctions, ａｎｄ　a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words. A few inflections, however, have survived. ａｎｄ　when some word inflections come into conflict with word order,. there may be trouble fｏｒthe users of the language, as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such maters as WHO ｏｒWHOM ａｎｄ　ME ｏｒl. The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes, our attitudes toward language forms change also. The eighteenth century, fｏｒexample, produced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always ｓｅｔin ａｎｄ　grew, until at the present time there is a strong tendency to restudy ａｎｄ　re-evaluate language practices in terms of the ways in which people speak ａｎｄ　write.Which of the following can be best used as the title of the passage?【单选题】

A.The history of the English language.

B.Our changing attitude towards the English language.

C.Our changing language.

D.Some characteristics of modern English,

正确答案:C

答案解析:本文从各个方面谈及英语作为一种语言的发展变化，但并不是讲述英语的历史，所以选项A不对，选项C作为文章的题目最为贴切。选项B只是文章阐述的一个方面，不够全面。文章是在谈到英语的不断变化的时候谈到了现代英语的一些特点，所以选项D也过于片面。

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, 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　freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully ａｎｄ　steadily, to produce more ____ 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】

A.wealth

B.report

C.effect

D.result

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题难度不大，干扰项干扰不强。可以先看选项，得到信息提示，结合原文，很明显，此处要使用wealth，“财富”，最佳答案是A。

5、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 majｏｒ______ .Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿的) advantage. Fｏｒexample, the difficult 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.role

B.difficulty

C.event

D.attraction

正确答案:D

答案解析:上一句中提到了动词attract，本题考查attract的名词形式attraction。

6、Status of Teachers in AmericaAt present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary ｏｒtruck driver, which often pay more to start than that of the teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught fｏｒseveral year.Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money, the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, fｏｒmany, than there are rewards.Unruly students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.Another reason fｏｒthis change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s ａｎｄ　1970s, one of the most popular choices fｏｒwomen was teaching. But as other professions, such as law ａｎｄ　medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a majｏｒpool of excellent candidates fｏｒthe teaching profession dwindled(减少).Bit by bit government officials ａｎｄ　others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People\'s attitudes have formed over many years, ａｎｄ　sometimes change takes many years.The writer believes that change in teaches\' status in the United States_____.【单选题】

A.is not great.

B.need time.

C.lacks support from the government.

D.influences people\'s attitudes.

正确答案:B

答案解析:由最后一段可知，在一个像美国这么大的社会，变化不是一件易事，人们的态度是多年形成的，有时一个变化需要好多年的时间。因此选B。

7、An Early Form of Jazz MusicMusic comes in many forms; most countries have a style of their own. At the turn of the last century, when jazz was born, America had no prominent music 0f its own. No one knows exactly when was invented ｏｒby whom. But it began to be heard in the early 1890s. Jazz is America\'s contribution to popular music. In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is spontaneous ａｎｄ　free in form. It bubbles with energy, expressing the moods, interests, ａｎｄ　emotions of the people. In the 1920s\' jazz sounded like America. ａｎｄ　so it does today. The origins 0f the music are as interesting as the music itself. American Negroes, ｏｒblacks, as they are called today, were the jazz pioneers. They were brought to the Southern states as slaves. They were sold to plantation owners ａｎｄ　forced to work long hours. When a Negro died, his friends ａｎｄ　relatives formed a procession to carry to body to the cemetery. In New Orleans, a bａｎｄ　often accompanied the ____ . On the way to the cemetery the bａｎｄ　played slow, solemn music, suited to the occasion. Furthermore 0n the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Death had removed one of their numbers, but the living were glad to be alive . The bａｎｄ　played happy music, improvising on both the harmony ａｎｄ　the melody of the tunes played at the funeral. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form ofjazz. 【单选题】

C.procession

D.march

9、One-Room SchoolsOne-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States, ａｎｄ　the mention of them makes people feel a longing fｏｒ"the way things were." One - room schools are an endangered species (种类), however. Fｏｒmore than a hundred years, one - room schools have been systematically shut down ａｎｄ　their students were sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one - room schools in the United States. By 1970 there were 1,800. Today, of the nearly 800 remaining one - room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are spread through a few other states that have on their road maps wide - open spaces between towns.Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one - room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today. Progressive educators have come up with new names like "peer -ｇｒｏｕｐteaching" ａｎｄ　"multi - age grouping" fｏｒeducational procedures that occur naturally in the one - room schools. In a one - room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. The fourth grader can work at the fifth grade level in math ａｎｄ　the third grade level in English without the bad name associated with being left back ｏｒthe pressures of being skipped (超过) ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his ｏｒher own level without being separated from other pupils. A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom ａｎｄ　it becomes clear why so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one - room school.What is the author\'s attitude towards one - room schools? ____ 【单选题】

A.Critical.

B.Humorous.

C.Angry.

D.Praising.

10、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 3 ____【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
