1、The IcemanOn a September day in 1991, two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria ａｎｄ　Italy. High up on a mountain pass, they found the body of a man lying on the ice. At that height (10,499 feet, ｏｒ3 ,200 meters) , the ice is usually permanent, but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had melted more than usual ａｎｄ　so the body had come to the surface.It was lying face downward. The skeleton (骨架) was in perfect condition, except fｏｒa wound in the head, There was still skin on the bones ａｎｄ　the remains of some clothes. The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax ａｎｄ　on the feet there were very simple leather ａｎｄ　cloth hoots. Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark (树皮) ａｎｄ　a holder fｏｒarrows.Who was this man? How ａｎｄ　when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these questions. Some people thought that it was from this century, perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I, since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father, who had died in those mountains twenty years before ａｎｄ　whose body had never been found. The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older, maybe even a thousａｎｄ　years old.With modern dating techniques, the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old. Born in about 3300 B. C. , he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe. At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains. More recent evidence, however, tells a different story, A new kind of X - ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage ａｎｄ　bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, ａｎｄ　not from the wound on the back of his head. This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle. It may have been part of a larger war, ｏｒhe may have been fighting bandits. He may even have been a bandit himself.By studying his clothes ａｎｄ　tools, scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the times he lived in. We may never know the full story of how he died, but he has given us important clues to the history of those distant times.The word "bandits" in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by ______. 【单选题】

A.soldiers

B.hunters

C.shooters

D.robbers

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题是词义题，比较容易。文章第四段谈到冰人当时与强盗交战，可以推测他本人有可能是强盗，另外也可以迅速查词典确定含义，答案是D。

2、Flu doesScratchy throats, stuffy noses ａｎｄ　body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold ｏｒflu may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds ａｎｄ　the flu, ａｎｄ　one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That\'s because the prescription drugs available fｏｒthe flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As fｏｒcolds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.The common cold ａｎｄ　the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses-flu A, B ａｎｄ　C. There is no cure fｏｒeither illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine (疫苗), which is, fｏｒmost people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA.But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu ａｎｄ　common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for.Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose ａｎｄ　scratchy throat typically develop gradually, ａｎｄ　adults ａｎｄ　teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu fｏｒall ages. ａｎｄ　in general, flu symptoms including fever ａｎｄ　chills, sore throat ａｎｄ　body aches come on suddenly ａｎｄ　are more severe than cold symptoms.The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants ａｎｄ　preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctｏｒif their small children have flu-like symptoms.Both cold ａｎｄ　flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children ａｎｄ　teens with a cold ｏｒflu should not take aspirin fｏｒpain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome (综合症), a rare but serious condition of the liver ａｎｄ　central nervous system.There is, of course, no vaccine fｏｒthe common cold but frequent hａｎｄ　washing ａｎｄ　avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold?【单选题】

A.A stuffy nose.

B.A high temperature.

C.A sore throat.

D.A dry cough.

正确答案:B

答案解析:从第五段第二句可知“对于任何年龄段来讲发烧是流感的显著特征之一”。

3、The motorcarSome pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned ａｎｄ　allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly. change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, ａｎｄ　more economical, ａｎｄ　should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will ｄｒｅｐfrom the auto ａｎｄ　make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, ａｎｄ　control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitｏｒall of the car\'s movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, ａｎｄ　reserve space fｏｒthe car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax ａｎｄ　wait fｏｒthe buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ____.【单选题】

A.its power source

B.its driving system

C.its monitoring system

D.its seating capacity

正确答案:C

答案解析:从本题的题干来看，未来汽车比较显著的一种变化应该是不同一般的，也应该是文章所着重要介绍的。文章大部分篇幅所介绍的是未来监控系统，所以本题答案应该是C。

4、 Happiness If your sense of well-being fluctuates with stock market, you might be comforted to know that money can\'t buy you happiness anyway. In one American study conducted in 1993, level of income was shown to have an inverse relation to happiness: Theｇｒｏｕｐwhose income had declined was happier overall than theｇｒｏｕｐwhose income had increased. A soon-to-be published review of the hundreds of studies on this subject supports the 1993 findings. In developed countries, the correlation between income ａｎｄ　happiness is close to zero ａｎｄ　sometimes negative. With a correlation between level of income ａｎｄ　happiness somewhere between 0.12 ａｎｄ　0.18, the United States is near the bottom of the list; that factors other than income are overwhelmingly more important in explaining happiness. Also, as our material wealth increases, the gap between income ａｎｄ　satisfaction with life seems to be widening. Predictably, money has its most positive effect on the poor, but once a person has achieved a minimal standard of living level of income has almost nothing to do with happiness. Close relationship, rather than money, is the key to happiness. Indeed, the number of one\'s personal friends is a much better indicatｏｒof overall satisfaction with life than personal wealth. One stands a better chance of achieving a satisfying life by spending time with friends ａｎｄ　family than by striving fｏｒhigher income. Incidentally, in the US, as people become richer, the probability of divorce increases. Our need fｏｒcompanionship is partly biological. All primates respond with pleasure to demonstrations of affection ａｎｄ　with pain to loss of companionship. Isolated monkeys will sacrifice food just fｏｒthe glimpses of another monkey. By ignoring our biologically programmed need fｏｒeach other, we risk physical ａｎｄ　mental distress. A recent cross-national study of mental depression in the US found that in advanced countries, there is a rising tide of majｏｒdepression. Teenage suicides have increased in recent decades in almost all advanced countries. Moreover, in the US since World War Ⅱ, there has been an actual decline in the proportion of people who report themselves to be "very unhappy. " You can easily test the claim that companionship exceeds wealth as a source of happiness. Ask yourself which has a greater influence on your satisfaction with life: your income ｏｒthe affection of your intimate companions ａｎｄ　the well-being of your children? Conversely, which would make you more depressed: a reduction in salary ｏｒa divorce ａｎｄ　isolation from your friends? Capitalism succeeds in creating material riches, but it is less successful in building companionable societies ａｎｄ　protecting family integrity. But developing countries still have much work to do in pursuing material wealth, where a rise in productivity still greatly increases happiness. Fｏｒpoorer countries, the time is not yet ripe fｏｒa shift in priorities from wealth accumulation to companionship. Can we afford to believe that the pursuit of material gain will lead to self-fulfillment? We should continue to enjoy our wealth in good company, ｏｒelse we may find that it is not satisfying. Which of the following is the least likely cause of one\'s unhappiness in advanced countries? 【单选题】

A.Loss of friends.

B.Reduction of income.

C.Death of a family member.

D.Divorce.

正确答案:B

答案解析:Capitalism (advanced countries) succeeded in creating material riches, but it is less successful in building companionable societies ａｎｄ　protecting family integrity. (But developing countries still have much work to do in pursuing material wealth, where a rise in productivity still greatly increases happiness. Fｏｒpoｏｒcountries, the time is not yet ripe fｏｒa shift in priorities from wealth accumulation to companionship. 该句说“资本主义（制度）（借助后句中分别出现的‘发展中国家’和‘穷国’，判断Capitalism是指“发达国家”）成功地创造了物质财富，但是它在建立和谐社会和保护家庭的完整上就不太成功”，从这个句子可以推出结论：资本主义国家的不足之处：不能很好地维持社会的和谐和家庭的完整应该是造成资本主义国家的人民不快乐的原因，选项A、C和D都涉及社会和家庭，因此判断B（收入的减少）是答案。

5、When a disease of epidemic proportions rips into the populace, scientists immediately get to work, trying to locate the source of the affliction ａｎｄ　find ways to combat it. Oftentimes, success is achieved, as medical science is able to isolate the parasite, germ ｏｒcell that causes the problem ａｎｄ　finds ways to effectively kill ｏｒcontain it. In the most serious of cases, in which the entire population of a region ｏｒcountry may be at grave risk, it is deemed necessary to protect the entire population through vaccination, so as to safeguard lives ａｎｄ　ensure that the disease will not spread.The process of vaccination allows the patient\'s body to develop immunity to the virus ｏｒdisease so that, if it is encountered, one can ward it off naturally. To accomplish this, a small weak ｏｒdead strain of the disease is actually injected into the patient in a controlled environment, so that his body\'s immune system can learn to fight the invader properly. Information on how to penetrate the disease\'s defenses is transmitted to all elements of the patient\'s immune system in a process that occurs naturally, in which genetic information is passed from cell to cell. This makes sure that, should the patient later come into contact with the real problem, his body is well equipped ａｎｄ　trained to deal with it, having already done so before.There are dangers inherent in the process, however. On occasion, even the weakened version of the disease contained in the vaccine proves too much fｏｒthe body to handle, resulting in the immune system succumbing, and, therefore, the patient\'s death. Such is the case of the smallpox vaccine, designed to eradicate the smallpox epidemic that nearly wiped out the entire Native American population ａｎｄ　killed massive numbers of settlers. Approximately l in 10,000 people who receives the vaccine contract the smallpox disease from the vaccine itself ａｎｄ　dies from it. Thus, if the entire population of the United States were to receive the Smallpox Vaccine today, 3,000 Americans would be left dead.Fortunately, the smallpox virus was considered eradicated in the early 1970\'s, ending the mandatory vaccination of all babies in America. In the event of a re-introduction of the disease, however, mandatory vaccinations may resume, resulting in more unexpected deaths from vaccination. The process, which is truly a mixed blessing, may indeed hide some hidden curses.Which of the following is true according to the text?【单选题】

A.Saving the majority would necessarily justify the death of the minority.

B.The immune system can be trained to fight weaker versions of a disease.

C.Mandatory vaccinations are indispensable to the survival of the populace.

D.The process of vaccination remains a mystery to be further resolved.
