1、Why Is the Native Language Learnt So Well?How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well? When we compare them with adults learning a foreign language, we often find this interesting fact. A little child without knowledge ｏｒexperience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language. A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers, in most case, may end up with a faulty ａｎｄ　inexact command. What accounts fｏｒthis difference?Despite other explanations, the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself, partly in the behaviｏｒof the people around him. In the first place, the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all, namely, the first years of life. A child hears it spoken from morning till night and, what is more important, always in its genuine form, with the right pronunciation, right intonation, ａｎｄ　right use of words ａｎｄ　right structure. He drinks in all the words ａｎｄ　expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-bubbling spring. There is no resistance: there is perfect assimilation.Then the child has, as it were, private lessons all the year round, while an adult language-student has each week a limited number of hours, which he generally shares with others. The child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations, always accompanied by the right kind of gestures ａｎｄ　facial expressions. Here there is nothing unnatural, such as is often found in language lessons in schools, when one talks about ice ａｎｄ　snow in June ｏｒscorching heat in January. ａｎｄ　what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him. Again ａｎｄ　again, when his attempts at speech are successful, his desires are understood ａｎｄ　fulfilled.Finally, though a child\'s "teachers" may not have been trained in language teaching, their relations with him are always close ａｎｄ　personal. They take great pains to make their lessons easy.The reason why children learn their mother tongue so well lies solely in their environment of learning.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:B

答案解析:题干大意：儿童母语学得好的原因仅仅取决于他们的学习环境。该问题也是考查考生对事实的判断。题干的说法太绝对，所以判断答案为“错误”。其实此题的答案相关句在第二题中已经涉及了。文章第二段的段首句给出了由两个partly引出的理由，由此判断问题句“错误”。

2、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.Blind people will be able to see the world with ____.【单选题】

A.what you say

B.a pair of sunglasses

C.the listening machine

D.a visual sensor

E.who have disabilities

F.living forever in a computer

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题难度也不大，针对第三段后半部分出题，考生可根据题干提示词回到文章定位，找到第三段，Blind people will use a visual sensｏｒwhich will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This sensｏｒwill describe to the person everything it sees. 回来再看选项，很明显，答案是D。

4、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 hostage 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. ____ 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.Since

B.Over

C.Till

D.Until

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题有一定难度，考查介词短语over the years的用法，over the years指“多年来”，最佳答案是B。

5、Ants as a Barometer of Ecological ChangeAt picnics, ants are pests. But they have their uses. In industries such as training, farming ａｎｄ　forestry, they can help gauge the health of the environment by just crawling around ａｎｄ　being antsy.It has been recognized fｏｒdecades that ants-which are highly sensitive to ecological change can provide a near-perfect barometer of the state of an ecosystem. Only certain species, fｏｒinstance, will continue to thrive at a forest site that has been cleared of trees. _____. ａｎｄ　still others will move in ａｎｄ　take up residence.By looking at which species populate a deforested area, scientists can determine how "stressed" the lａｎｄ　is. They do this by sorting the ants, counting their numbers ａｎｄ　comparing the results with those of earlier surveys. . Ants are used simply because they are so common ａｎｄ　comprise so many species.Where mine sites are being restored, fｏｒexample, some ant species will recognize the stripped lａｎｄ　more quickly than others. This allowed scientists to gauge the pace ａｎｄ　progress of the ecological recovery. Australian mining company Capricorn Coal Management has been successfully using ant surveys fｏｒyears to determine the rate of recovery of lａｎｄ　that it is replanting near its German Creek mine in Queensland.Ant surveys also have been used with mine-site recovery projects in Africa ａｎｄ　Brazil, where warm climates encourage dense ａｎｄ　diverse ant populations. "We found it worked extremely well there," says Jonathan Majer, a professｏｒof environmental biology. Yet the surveys are perfectly suited to climates throughout Asia, he says, because ants are so common throughout the region. As Majer puts it: "That\'s the great thing about ants. "Ant surveys are so highly-regarded as ecological indicators that governments worldwide accept their results when assessing the environmental impact of mining ａｎｄ　tree harvesting. Yet in other businesses, such as farming ａｎｄ　property development, ant surveys aren\'t used widely.Why not? Because many companies can\'t afford the expense ｏｒthe laboratory time needed to sift results fｏｒa comprehensive survey. The cost stems, also, from the scarcity of ant specialists. Employing those people are expensive. 【单选题】

7、Feast On Turkey ａｎｄ　Good Wishes at ThanksgivingFour weeks ago, US children dressed as monsters ａｎｄ　asked fｏｒsweets. That was Halloween. In a few weeks American houses will be red ａｎｄ　green ａｎｄ　filled with presents. FｏｒChristmas.As if all this isn\'t enough, on Thursday this week, America will enjoy another festival-Thanksgiving.Children will have two days off school, shops will close ａｎｄ　houses will be filled with families enjoying mountains of food.Every year, in Gainesville, Florida, all entire class celebrate Thanksgiving together. The class dresses up ａｎｄ　puts on plays fｏｒtheir families. After the plays the families share a feast of traditional Thanksgiving foods like turkey ａｎｄ　pumpkin pie.Dean Foster, an ll-year-old boy will take part in this celebration. He said: "I love Thanksgiving because it means time off school, lots of nice food ａｎｄ　a happy family."His brother Ben, nine, said: "the best thing about Thanksgiving, is that when it is finished, it is time to start Christmas."But behind the food ａｎｄ　the large amount of money spent there is another message. On Thursday evening, Dean ａｎｄ　Ben\'s family will make a basket ａｎｄ　put it on the table as they eat their evening meal.Each of them will write a list of things that they are thankful fｏｒａｎｄ　place the paper in the basket.

正确答案:B

答案解析:细节考查题。题干问感恩节是美国人因为什么而感谢上帝的日子？这个句子中的新信息是“感谢上帝”，所以利用“thank God”作为答案线索，在倒数第三段中可以找到答案相关句，感谢上帝为他们提供了舒适、幸福的生活，故正确答案为B。

8、CultureCulture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behaviｏｒpatterns characteristic of the members of a shaped by a ｓｅｔof dynamic variables: language, religion, values ａｎｄ　attitudes, manners ａｎｄ　customs, aesthetics, technology, education, ａｎｄ　social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual ａｎｄ　interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi ａｎｄ　McDonald\'s. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging.The other school proposes that companies must tailｏｒbusiness approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies ａｎｄ　procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance ｏｒrejection. The majｏｒchallenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia ｏｒeven blindness.Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent ｏｒoverseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, ａｎｄ　know your customer.According to the author, the model of Pepsi ____ .【单选题】

A.is in line with the theories of the school advocating the business is business the world around

B.is different from the model of McDonald\'s

C.shows the reverse of globalization

D.has converged cultural differences

正确答案:A

答案解析:意为“……与同意世界商业一体化的派别的主张是一致的”。Pepsi采纳的是国际化的商业风格，这与那些主张国际化的派别的意见是相一致的。

9、Robotic Highway ConesA University of Nebraska professｏｒhas developed robotic cones ａｎｄ　barrels. These robotic cones ａｎｄ　barrels can move out of the way, ｏｒinto place, from computer commands made miles away. .They can even be programmed to move on their own at any particular part of the day, said Shane Farritor, an assistant professｏｒof mechanical engineering at Nebraska.Fｏｒexample, if workers arrived at 6 am, the cones could move from the side of the highway to block off the lane at that time. ａｎｄ　they can return to the original place at the end of the day. "It just seems like a very good application fｏｒrobots," Farritｏｒsaid. "The robotic cones would also help remove people from hazardous jobs on the highway putting barrels ａｎｄ　cones into place," Farritｏｒsaid in a report on his creation. Word on the idea began in 2002 using a National Academy of Sciences grant . The fund allowed Farritｏｒto work on the project with graduate students at Nebraska ａｎｄ　his assistant Steve Goddard.The robots are placed at the bottom of the cones ａｎｄ　barrels ａｎｄ　are small enough not to greatly change the appearance of the construction aides. "It would look exactly the same," Farritｏｒsaid. "Normally there\'s a kind of rubbery, black base to them. ____Farritｏｒhas talked with officials from the Nebraska Department of Roads about how the robots would be most useful to what they might needThe robots could come in handy following a slow-moving maintenance operation, like painting a stripe on a road ｏｒmoving asphalt, where now the barrels have to be picked up ａｎｄ　moved as the operation proceeds. "That way you don\'t have to block off a l0-mile strip fｏｒthe operation. " Farritｏｒsaid.While prototypes have been made, they are not in use anywhere. Farritｏｒsaid he has applied fｏｒa patent ａｎｄ　is considering what to do next. He is thinking about starting a small business. . He is also thinking about marketing the robots to roads departments ａｎｄ　others across the country which may benefit from them.【单选题】

A.ａｎｄ　they can return to the original place at the end of the day.

B.He is thinking about starting a small business.

C.Farritｏｒwas "Inventｏｒof the Year" in 2003.

D.Word on the idea began in 2002 using a National Academy of Sciences grant

E.We replace that with a robot.

F.These robotic cones ａｎｄ　barrels can move out of the way, ｏｒinto place, from computer commands made miles away.

正确答案:E

答案解析:这一段说机器人安装在锥形路标和路障的底部，其原来外貌几乎没有什么改变。原来的底部是黑色，用类似橡胶的材料制成。而E句的that指的是底部(base)，E句的意思是“用机器人置换底部”。
