1、Vicious ａｎｄ　Dangerous Sports Should Be Banned by LawWhen you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it\'s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poｏｒold Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on fｏｒentertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2,000 years ago ａｎｄ　obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, fｏｒinstance, attract such universal interest? Don\'t the spectators who at tend them hope they will see some violence? Human beings remains as blood-thirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves ａｎｄ　the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart ａｎｄ　eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age; sports which are quite as barbarous as, say, public hangings ｏｒbearbaiting.It really is incredible that in this day ａｎｄ　age we should still allow hunting ｏｒbullfighting, that we should be prepared to sit back ａｎｄ　watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one ｏｒa num ber of racing cars crashing ａｎｄ　bursting into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of "the sporting spirit" is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, fｏｒinstance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture ａｎｄ　violence.Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. Fｏｒcenturies man has been trying to improve himself spiritually ａｎｄ　emotionally-admittedly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages, ｏｒpublic floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly ａｎｄ　unaccountably improved, but be cause positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have ａｎｄ　it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned danger ous ａｎｄ　violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading ａｎｄ　unworthy of human beings.The purpose of the authｏｒin writing this passage is____.【单选题】

A.that, by banning the violent sports, we human beings can improve ourselves

B.that, by banning the dangerous sports, we can improve the law

C.that we must take positive steps to improve social welfare system

D.to show law is the main instrument of social change

正确答案:A

答案解析:主旨题。答案参见第三段：通过制止野蛮体育项目，我们能改善人类自身。选项A与此相符合，故正确答案为A。

2、Online Cancer Chat with a Safety NetCancer Research UK has launched an online chat forum fｏｒcancer patients to swap (变换) stories ａｎｄ　share experiences on how to cope with such a devastating disease.But Cancer Chat is a forum with a difference: it has an information safety net.This means that a Cancer Research UK team will keep a watching brief to ensure that patients are not subjected to rogue (劣等的) "cancer cures" ｏｒscientifically unsound information.Anyone can have access to the messages posted on Cancer Chat, but if people wish to post a message, they will need to register.ａｎｄ　Rebekah Gibbs, cancer patient ａｎｄ　star of TWs Casualty, has pledged her support fｏｒthe new project. "I think Cancer Chat is a brilliant idea," she said. "I have written a public diary about what I went through with breast cancer ａｎｄ　I have had such a heart - warming response from other people going through the same thing."The idea of a Cancer Chat forum means you can share information about treatment ａｎｄ　side effects ａｎｄ　you can really open up about your feelings online in a way that can be difficult when talking to close friends ａｎｄ　family. ａｎｄ　with Cancer Research UK monitoring the forum, people can be reassured about the quality of information being exchanged.Cancer Chat will also encourage its users to check out any cancer questions on its CancerHelp UK website, which is specially designed to give patients ａｎｄ　their families 6,000 pages of up - to - date information that is easy to understａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　explains a wide range of treatments fｏｒdifferent types of cancer ａｎｄ　gives details of clinical trials. There is also a UK ｄａｔａｂａｓｅ of cancer clinical trials.The award - winning website attracts around one million visitors a month ａｎｄ　Cancer Research UK hopes that some of these visitors will also want to post comments on the Cancer Chat forum.Fｏｒthose who do not have access to computers ａｎｄ　have questions about cancer, the charity\'s team of cancer information nurses are available during office hours to talk over patients\' concerns on the phone.Which statement about the CancerHelp UK website is NOT true?【单选题】

A.It offers lots of information on cancer treatment ａｎｄ　clinical trials.

B.It attracts numerous visitors.

C.It has won an award.

D.It is accessible only to British citizens.

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要认真吃透原文句意，找出判断依据。认真阅读文章可以发现，选项里A，B，C三项在文中都提到了，第四段第一句，谈到任何人都可以上该论坛的网站浏览消息，Cancer Help UK是其子网站，但并没有提到只有英国公民才能登陆该网站，答案是D。

3、Egypt Felled by Famine Even ancient Egypt\'s mighty pyramid builders were powerless in the face of the famine that helped bring down their civilization around 2180 BC. Now evidence gleaned from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blame ａｎｄ　the same ｏｒworse could happen today. The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile\'s annual floods to irrigate their crops. But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons southwards out of Ethiopia would have diminished these floods. Dwindling rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stablize the soil. When rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile ａｎｄ　into Egypt, along with sediment from the White Nile. The Blue Nile mud has a different isotope signature from that of the White Nile. So by analyzing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta, Michael Krom of Leeds University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river. Krom reasons that during periods of drought, the amount of the Blue Nile mud in the river would be relatively high. He found that one of these periods, from 4,500 to 4,200 years ago, immediately predates the fall of the Egypt\'s Old Kingdom. The weakened waters would have been catastrophic fｏｒthe Egyptians. " Changes that affect food supply don\'t have to be very large to have a ripple effect in societies," says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doberty Earth Observatory in New York. "Similar events today could be even more devastating," says team member Daniel Stanley, a geoarchaeologist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D C. " Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the populations have increased dramatically. " According to Krom, Egypt\'s Old Kingdom fell ____.【单选题】

A.immediately after a period of drought

B. immediately after a period of flood

C.just before a drought struck

D.just before a flood struck

正确答案:A

答案解析:A说的是：就在一个时期的干旱之后。第五段有这么一个句子：… one of these periods immediately predates the fall of the Egypt\'s Old Kingdom. 其中的一个时期…就发生在古埃及王国毁灭之前。可以看出，A应该是正确的答案。B：就在一个时期的水灾之后。C：就在遇到一次旱灾之前。D：就在遇到一次水灾之前。

4、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.All the following are assumptions once made about the Iceman EXCEPT ______.【单选题】

A.he was a soldier in World War I

B.he was a Swiss woman\'s long - lost father

C.he was born about a thousａｎｄ　years ago

D.he came from Italy

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，首先要读懂题干，好多考生因为没有读懂而做错。第三段谈到了对冰人的各种猜测：有人认为他是一战的士兵；一位瑞士女人坚信冰人是她二十年前死在山里的父亲，科学家们认为他大概有一千年的历史了，惟独没有提到冰人是意大利人的猜测，所以答案是D。

5、A Tale of Scottish Rural LifeLewis Grassic Gibbon\'s SunｓｅｔSong (1932) was voted "the best Scottish novel of all time" by Scottish\'s reading public in 2005. Once considered shocking fｏｒits frank description of aspects of the lives of Scotland\'s poｏｒrural farmers, it has been adapted fｏｒstage, film, TV ａｎｄ　radio in recent decades.The novel is ｓｅｔon the fictional estate of Kinraddie, in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to ａｎｄ　beyond World War I. At its heart is the story of Chris, who is both part of the community ａｎｄ　a little outside it.Grassic Gibbon gives us the most detailed ａｎｄ　intimate account of the life of his heroine. We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel but hard-working father; experience tragedy (her mother\'s suicide ａｎｄ　murder of her twin children); ａｎｄ　learn about her feelings as she grows into woman. We see her marry, lose her husband, then marry again. Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man.But it would be misleading to suggest that this book is just about Chris. It is truly a novel of a place ａｎｄ　its people. Its opening section tells of Kinraddie\'s long history, in a language that imitates the place\'s changing patterns of speech ａｎｄ　writing.The story itself is amazingly full of characters ａｎｄ　incidents. It is told from Chris\' point of view but also from that of the gossiping community, a community where everybody knows everybody else\'s business ａｎｄ　nothing is ever forgotten.SunｓｅｔSong has a social theme too. It is concerned with what Grassic Gibbon perceives as the destruction of traditional Scottish rural life first by modernization ａｎｄ　then by World War I. Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war. Despite this, the war takes the young men away, a number of them to their deaths. In particular, it takes away Chris\' husband, Ewan Tavendale. The war finally kills Ewan, but not in the way his widow is told In fact, the Germans aren\'t responsible fｏｒhis death, but his own side. He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle.If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead, it is a "SunｓｅｔSong" but is concerned too with the new Kinraddie, indeed of the new European world Grassic Gibbon went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story.What is the opening section of the novel mainly concerned with?【单选题】

A.The climate of Kinraddie.

B.The history of Kinraddie.

C.The geography of Kinraddie.

D.The language spoken in Kinraddie.

正确答案:B

答案解析:A: Kinraddie的气候；B: Kinraddie的历史；C: Kinraddie的地理；D: Kinraddie说的语言。看看下面这句话：Its opening section tells of Kinraddie\'s long history，in a language that imitates the place\'s changing patterns of speech ａｎｄ　writing. 小说的开头部分讲述了Kinraddie的悠久历史，讲述时模仿了该地方变化着的口语和书面语的表达方式。可以看出B是对的。
