1、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, ____ 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 body . 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】

A.disclosing

B.explaining

C.expressing

D.exposing

正确答案:C

答案解析:从跟后面这几个词(moods，interests，emotions)的搭配考虑，只能选expressing。

2、What Is the Coolest Gas in the Universe?What is the coldest air temperature ever recorded on the Earth? Where was this low temperature recorded? The coldest recorded temperature on Earth was -91℃ which occurred in Antarctica in 1983.We encounter an interesting situation when we discuss temperatures in _____ Temperatures in Earth orbit actually range from about +120℃ to -120℃. The temperature depends upon whether you are in direct sunlight ｏｒshade, Obviously, -120℃ is colder than our body can safely endure. Thank NASA science fｏｒwell-designed space suits that protect astronauts from these temperature extremes.The space temperatures just discussed affect only our area of the solar system . Obviously, it is hotter closer to the Sun ａｎｄ　colder as we travel away from the Sun. Astronomers estimate temperatures at Pluto are about -210℃. How cold is the lowest estimated temperature in the entire universe? Again, it depends upon your location. We are taught it is supposedly impossible to have a temperature below absolute zero, which is -273℃, at which atoms do not move. Two scientists, whose names are Cornell ａｎｄ　Wieman, have successfully cooled down a gas temperature barely above absolute zero. They won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 fｏｒtheir work not a discovery in this car.Why is the two scientists\' work so important to science?In the 1920s, Satyendra Nath Bose was studying an interesting theory about particles we now call photons. Bose had trouble convincing Other scientists to believe so he contacted Albert Einstein. Einstein\'s calculations helped him theorize would behave as Bose thought but only at very cold temperatures.Scientists have also discovered that ultra-cold atoms can help them make the world\'s atomic clocks even more accurate. These clocks are so accurate today they would only lose one second every six million years! Such accuracy will help us travel in space because distance is velocity times time(d=vxt). With the long distances involved in space travel to know time as accurately as possible to get accurate distance.【单选题】

A.Earth

B.space

C.planet

D.star

正确答案:B

答案解析:纵观本段，内容是叙述宇宙空间的温度。选项B的space是“宇宙空间”的意思，所以是答案。其他三个选项Earth（地球）、planet（行星）、star（恒星）在词义上都不合适。

3、Working Successfully within Cultural BoundariesSoon after starting our job in China, we realized that the greatest challenge we faced would not be our day-to-day responsibilities but a completely foreign work environment ａｎｄ　culture.We were used to the very direct, sometimes confrontational, but more equal style of management in the United States. Here, we were faced with the never-direct, never-confrontational style of management common in Asia.We often hear similar stories. One woman shared her experience of returning to China after more than 15 years in the US. Although she spent most of her childhood in China, she felt that her colleagues\' thinking processes were completely foreign to her. She needed to adapt herself to the culture of her company only then would she be successful at her job. In the end, she wasn\'t able to successfully re-adapt herself to the culture. What she didn\'t realize was that, rather than disagreeing with her ideas, they disagreed with her method of implementing them. Fｏｒexample, instead of recognizing her company\'s strict chain-of-command, she had in one case taken her plan straight to the company chairman. This action consequently caused her superiors to lose face. She had unwittingly broken a cardinal rule of Chinese culture.One man who spent many years overseas before returning to China to head up the local operations of a multinational company, had a similar experience. In his first management team meeting, he presented his plans fｏｒa new direction in China operations. His request was met with an uncomfortable silence, with none of the managers daring to speak up. They had not been prepared fｏｒhis open style of management. Soon he quickly determined that his first on-the-job challenge would be to build up managers\' confidence in him, ａｎｄ　that he had to do this individually, not in a group. Within a year, their management team meetings were transformed into the interactive, brainstorming sessions that he intended them to be.Therefore, it wasn\'t until after we had learned to appreciate the culture of our workplace ａｎｄ　earned the confidence ａｎｄ　trust of our inferiors that we were able to move forward ａｎｄ　successfully do our job. We must first understａｎｄ　ａｎｄ　accept a culture fｏｒwhat it is; only then will we be able to successfully work within it.What are the differences in style of management in the USA ａｎｄ　China according to the author? In the USA, it is indirect style of management. In China, it is direct. In the USA, it is direct style of management. In China, it is never-direct. In the USA, it is always confrontational. In China, it is sometimes confrontational. In the USA, it is equal. In China it is unequal.Where did the woman think she differed from her Chinese colleagues?【单选题】

A.In the thinking process.

B.In treating the same thing.

C.In implementing.

D.In understanding the rule.

正确答案:A

答案解析:根据第3段，“尽管她的童年是在中国度过的，但是她觉得她同事的思维方式完全陌生”，因此答案是A。

4、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 ____ 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 wealth 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.reasons

B.aspects

C.points

D.services

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定难度，可以先看选项得到信息提示，文章此处是说由于这个和其他缘故，“中国没有能很好地开发自然资源”，所以应该使用reason，最佳答案是A。

5、RobotsThe most sophisticated (先进的) Japanese robots, which have vision systems ａｎｄ　work at very high speeds, are still based on American designs. Studies of robots, particularly computer control software, are considered to be generally less advanced in Japan than in America ｏｒEurope.Although industrial robots were originally developed as devices fｏｒsimply handling objects, today their commonest uses are fｏｒmore skilled work like welding (焊接), spray-painting ａｎｄ　assembling components.In Britain robot sales appropriately peaked in 1984, but have been declining ever since. This is partly because British wage rates are too low to make robots financially attractive ａｎｄ　partly because engineers now have more experience with robots ａｎｄ　are more aware of the difficulties of introducing them effectively.It has been calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy than a human to do an equivalent job.It is estimated that 20% of all comic book heroes in Japan are robots. This is an enormous number because comics are so popular that they make up a third of all material published in Japan. The reliability of robots is measured in their MTBF ｏｒmean time between failures. This has risen from about 250 hours in the mid-1970s to about 10,000 hours today (equivalent to working 18 hours a day fｏｒtwo years). One way robot manufacturers have increased reliability is to test every single component they buy, instead of the normal procedure of just testing a small .sample.The biggest single benefit of introducing robots claimed by Japanese companies is that they increase quality control. One programmed robots can work more accurately ａｎｄ　consistently than humans, who can get tired ａｎｄ　bored.The use of robots increases________.【单选题】

A.too much energy

B.based on American designs

C.they are too costly

D.they are not reliable

E.quality control

F.free of charge

正确答案:E

答案解析:根据“题目顺序与段落顺序基本对应”的出题规律，可定位到最后一段。最后一段共两句话，其中第一句The biggest single benefit of introducing robots claimed by Japanese companies is that they increase quality control中提到，日本公司宣称引进机器人最大的好处在于可以提高对产品质量的控制。E选项是对该句的同义改写，故E为正确答案。

6、G8 SummitLeaders of theｇｒｏｕｐof Eight MajｏｒIndustrialized Nations (G8) will meet in Scotlａｎｄ　in July this year. Representatives from China, India, Mexico, South Africa ａｎｄ　Brazil have also been invited. Here\'s what the G8 leaders want from the meeting.British Prime Minister Tony Blair wants the G8 to cancel debt to the world\'s poorest countries. He wants them to double aid to Africa to 50 billion pounds by 2010. He has also proposed reducing subsidies to Western farmers ａｎｄ　removing restrictions on African exports. This has not got the approval of all members because it will hurt their agricultural interests. On climate change, Blair wants concerted (共同的) action by reducing carbon emissions (排放). US President George W. Bush agrees to give help to Africa. But he says he doesn\'t like the idea of increasing aid to countries as it will increase corruption. Bush said he would not sign an agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions at the summit, according to media. The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol(《京都议定书》). Although the US is the world\'s biggest polluter, Bush so far refuses to believe there is sufficient scientific data to establish beyond a doubt that there is a problem.French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa ａｎｄ　climate change. He is determined to get the US to sign the climate change deal.German ChancellｏｒGerhard Schroder remains doubtful of Blair\'s Africa proposals. Schroder\'s officials have dismissed the notion that money will solve Africa\'s problems as"old thinking". Berlin says that African states should only receive extra money if they can prove they\'ve solved the corruption problem.Russian President Vladimir Putin was doubtful about the value of more aid to Africa. But he has seen a way to make this work to his advantage. Putin intends to use the aid to Africa as a springboard (跳板) next year to propose aid to the former Soviet Republics of Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan ａｎｄ　Moldova.Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi\'s priorities are a seat on the UN Security Council, fｏｒwhich he will be lobbying (游说) at the summit. ａｎｄ　he\'s concerned about the Democratic People\'s Republic of Korea\'s nuclear weapons programme.India has accepted the invitation to attend the G8 meeting.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:C

答案解析:根据主语India可以确定只有第一段提到了印度，其他段落并未提到，所以题干信息没有在原文中得到体现，故答案为C。

7、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 majｏｒattraction .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 ______ 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.invites

B.affects

C.needs

D.reflects

正确答案:B

答案解析:最后一段第一句话的大意是：影响来中东工作的工人的一个主要问题是，他们的工作是临时性的。affects（影响）符合语境。

8、Life at Aichi UniversityI\'m Yamamoto Mika, a 22 years old Japanese girl. I\'d like to invite you to Aichi University so you can understａｎｄ　my life.Our university has a close relationship with China ａｎｄ　my department is the only one of its kind in Japan. My courses include the Chinese language, modern Chinese politics ａｎｄ　economics. I love Chinese culture ａｎｄ　I have been to Tianjin as an exchange student.In Japan, our courses are divided into compulsory, optional ａｎｄ　specialized courses. However, we have a flexible schedule.

I really like this festival.When we promote our clubs, we cook "tonnjiru", a kind of pork soup, ａｎｄ　sell it to other students at the fair.We also go to different places to interview celebrities (名人) who attend our festival as guests. It is a wonderful experience to talk to those stars face to face.Japanese students like to hold parties. We have two kinds of parties. One is the Mochivori party. If you want to attend this party you have to cook something ａｎｄ　take it to the party. The organizer buys drinks ａｎｄ　snacks.The other kind of party is the Nomikai, which mainly involves alcohol. We drink something called chu - hai, which is a combination of soda ａｎｄ　wine. We also drink Japanese sake (日本米酒) ａｎｄ　beer. There are parties fｏｒmany occasions, like welcoming new students, celebrating victories ａｎｄ　birthday parties ｏｒjust fｏｒpromoting friendship.Many Japanese students finish their compulsory courses in three years because ____.【单选题】

10、Human Space ExplorationWhile scientists are searching the cause of the Columbia disaster, NASA is moving ahead with plans to develop a new craft that would replace shuttles(航天飞机) on space station missions by2012 ａｎｄ　respond quickly to space station emergencies.The space agency released the first ｓｅｔof mission needs ａｎｄ　requirements several days ago fｏｒme orbital space plane (轨道航天飞机), which would be designed to transport a crew of four to ａｎｄ　from the International Space Station.Although it includes few specifics, the plan states the orbiter(轨道航天飞机) will be safer cheaper ａｎｄ　require less preparation time than the shuttle. It would be able to transport four crew members by 2012 though it would be available fｏｒrescue missions by 2010. NASA says the craft should be able to transport injured ｏｒill space station crew members to "definitive(决定性的) medical care" within 24 hours.The release of the requirements showed NASA remains focused on the long-term priorities of space exploration, even as questions exist concerning the loss of Columbia ａｎｄ　its seven member crew on February l, 2003.Expels at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, have been working fｏｒyears on a successｏｒto the shuttle. The project, known as the Space Launch Initiative (倡议), was divided last year into two parts----one focusing on a future launch vehicle, the other on a space station orbiter. The orbiter is expected to be ready sooner.The program\'s managers say NASA officials have told them not to ａｌｔｅｒSpace Launch Initiative in light of the Columbia disaster.U. S. President George W. Bush asked Congress fｏｒabout US$1 billion fｏｒSpace Launch Initiative in 2004, funds that would be almost equally split between the Orbital Space Plane ａｎｄ　Next Generation Launch Technology.NASA plans to design the new space craft to .【单选题】

A.control the International Space Station

B.carry astronauts to the International Space Station

C.transport equipment to the International Space Station

D.train astronauts in space flights

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题问的是NASA（美国国家航空航天局）设计新的航天飞机的目的是什么。文章第1句就指出了研发这种新航天器的目的是取代现有的航天飞机，把航天员送到国际空间站去，所以正确答案为B。
