1、Gun Rights in the USImmediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president ａｎｄ　the state governer both hurried there to share the grief. But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons.Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country here gun violence has destroyed lives, families ａｎｄ　communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the few countries that seem unwilling ａｎｄ　politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.In countries like Britain ａｎｄ　Canada, the government adopted strict gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held ____ by the gun lobby (院外活动集团) ａｎｄ　the electoral (选举) system.The powerful National Rifle Association, the majｏｒsupporter of gun rights in the US, is too strong fｏｒany party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun control anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign fｏｒgun control ｏｒwin power, not both, they prefer power.According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm (火器) incidents accounted fｏｒnine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many people don\'t want to give up their arms they keep to protect themselves.Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said, "If one professｏｒin the Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon, they might have been able to stop all this. "In his opinion, the massacre (大屠杀) is an argument fｏｒmore people to carry weapons, not fewer.Americans\' clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government, commented UK\'s Guardian newspaper.One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隐藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was every American\'s responsibility to have a gun."Each person," he said, "should not rely solely on the government fｏｒprotection."【单选题】

A.hostage

B.office

C.person

D.home

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大。本题考查的是动词短语hold hostage的用法，指“扣押人质”，最佳答案是A。

2、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, ____ 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 purposes. 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.whom

B.who

C.which

D.that

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题难度不大，考点是非限定性定语从句的引导词，因为此处的先行词是the Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa，是人，所以要用修饰人的引导词，而且又做主语，结合选项的信息提示，正确答案是B。

3、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!We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself: ____.【单选题】

A.what do I usually do?

B.what did my boss tell me to do?

C.what are my customers\' needs?

D.how should I sell my products?

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题难度不大，读完文章，可以推断出，销售人员要站在消费者的立场上考虑，所以不难找到答案。答案依据是最后一段：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.

4、A Bad IdeaThink you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e - mail ａｎｄ　listen to music at the same time? Well, New York\'s new law says you can\'t. ａｎｄ　you\'ll be fined $ 100 if you do so on a New York city street. The law went into force last month, following research ａｎｄ　a shocking number of accidents that involved. people using electronic gadgets (小巧机械) when crossing the street.Who\'s to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited. "We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist (神经科学家) in Tennessee. "But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once."The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question. Aｇｒｏｕｐof 18 to 21 years old ａｎｄ　aｇｒｏｕｐof 35 to 39 years old were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code. The youngerｇｒｏｕｐdid 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call ｏｒan instant message, the olderｇｒｏｕｐmatched the youngerｇｒｏｕｐin speed ａｎｄ　accuracy.It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business - research firm, estimates that the cost of interruptions to the American economy is nearly $650 billion a year, ____ The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers\' time was spent on interruptions ａｎｄ　recovery time before they returned to their main tasks. 【单选题】

A.Talking on a cell phone while driving brings you joy anyway.

B.The estimate is based on surveys with office workers.

C.The youngerｇｒｏｕｐdid 10 percent better when not interrupted.

D.However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question.

E.Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited.

F.ａｎｄ　you\'ll be fined $ 100 if you do so on a New York city street.

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题有一定的难度，需要认真阅读文章，理解好句意。可用排除法和代入法。本题的下文谈到了对（办公室）职工做的一次调查，涉及具体内容，所以可以推断此处应该是概括性的句子，来引导下文，而且和职工调查有关，回来看选项，把B代人文中，符合逻辑，答案是B。

7、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 l______【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:D

答案解析:第1段点出主题，即某些金属进入人体可能与地质有关。

8、Preparations fｏｒInterviewThe first thing you have to prepare fｏｒa job interview is to write your resume. Most of all, the resume should emphasize all the related experience you have had. The resume should be clear ａｎｄ　you should keep in mind that the person reading it will probably be reading many other resumes. The best thing you can do is to . make it obvious why you can do the job better than anybody else. Your resume should be neat ａｎｄ　if possible , typed, the biggest advantage of a typed resume is that it is easy to read.Once you have organized your resume, check your closet. Special attention should be allowed to what you will wear fｏｒthe interview. You don\'t want to be dressed up as if you were going to a party, but you also don\'t want to be over-dressed. You should consider setting your hair trimmed before the interview. Remember that neatness counts. You should be neat in your appearance as well as in resume.Finally, you must keep in mind that employers do not like people to smoke ｏｒchew gum during an interview. The basic reason fｏｒthis may be that you appear too relaxed. Remember you are not visiting a friend; you are trying to get a job. If you ______ all of the above advice, you have a good chance of getting the job you desire.【单选题】

10、Money ｏｒFriendship ｏｒBoth1. Friends ａｎｄ　money don\'t mix. It\'s a dangerous combination since a fight over money is one of the fastest ways to end a friendship. But what if a friend asks you to tend him ｏｒher some money? If you don\'t lend your friend the money, you risk losing the friend. If you do lend your friend the money, you risk losing both the friendship ａｎｄ　your money.2. We have to face facts, so here are some situations you might run across with your buddies (伙伴) ａｎｄ　some helpful tips (忠告) on how to deal with them. Thinking about why this person needs to borrow in the first place. If he is always living beyond his means, it is his fault, not yours. Any Sensible person would not put himself in a position of debt so often. So simply say "no" to this friend. Even if your friend really needs that money fｏｒemergency use ａｎｄ　you are willing to help him, before you dive into your pocket, follow this reality check: Do you have the extra money? Are you sure you don\'t need it? Are you willing to write off that amount if it\'s not returned? If your answers are negative, do yourself a favｏｒａｎｄ　say "no".3. Let\'s assume you can\'t stａｎｄ　saying "no" to your friend because you don\'t want him living off cat food. What do you do? Write down these details on a sheet of paper before opening up your wallet:Amount of the loan.Date of the loan.Time of repayment.Amount of interest (if any).Lender\'s ａｎｄ　borrower\'s signature.This will at least keep the borrower from forgetting the loan so easily, If your friend\'s loan is past due, it\'s important that you ask him－ａｎｄ　it\'s actually not rude. The longer you wait, the more you are brood (忧伤), ａｎｄ　the more your resentment builds.4. You can send him a friendly reminder via E - mail. Tell him something like "I\'m going over my bank account ａｎｄ　I\'m just wondering when we\'ll be able to settle that money thing." E - mail saves you from an uncomfortable face - to - face confrontation. There is almost no chance of turning a bad reaction into an argument. Unlike a public conversation, an E - mail message will always be private.5. After asking two ｏｒthree times, you might have to write it off. That\'s what happens. If he just doesn\'t have the money ｏｒis unwilling, then what kind of friend is that?Paragraph 2 ____【单选题】

A.Time to Break off a Friendship

B.Unconditional Assistance to Friends in Need

C.Things to Consider When You Have to Say "No" to Your Friend

D.Things to Think over When You Don\'t Want Your Friend to Eat Cat Food

E.Strategies fｏｒBorrowing Money

F.Advantages of E - mail in Handling Money Issues

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题难度不大，主旨句比较好确认，就是第二段的第一句，谈到我们必须面对事实，当你在某些情况下遇到你朋友跟你借钱时，下面有几条忠告来帮助你应对这种状况。换句话说第二段主要给出了如何对朋友说“不”的几条忠告。回来看选项，比较明显，C项Things to Consider When You Have to Say "No" to Your Friend，就是对本段的概括，所以答案是C。
