1、Shopping at Second - hand Clothing StoresWhen 33 year old Pete Barth was in college, shopping at second hand clothing stores was just something he did- "like changing the tires on his car." He looked at his budget and decided he could save a lot of money by shopping forclothes at thrift shops."Even new clothes are fairly disposable (用后即丢掉的) and wear out after a couple of years," Barth said. "In thrift shops, you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes."Since then, Barth, who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found that there are all kinds of reasons forshopping forsecond - hand clothing. Some people, like him, shop to save money. Some shop fora crazy - looking shirt. and some shop as a mean conserving energy and helping the environment.Pat Akins, an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA) (救世军) thrift shop, said that, forher, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment."When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling," Akins said. "Also, why pay 30 dollars fora new coat when you can get another one fora lot less?"Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US- "some as big as department stores. All of the clothes are donated (捐赠), and when they have a surplus (盈余), they\'ll have" stuff a bag" specials, where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes foronly 5 or10 dollars.Julia Slocum, 22, points out, however, that the huge amount of second - hand clothing in the US is the result of American wastefulness."I\'d say that second - hand stores are the result of our wasteful, materialistic culture," said Slocum, who works fora pro - conservation organization, the center of a New American Dream. "Thrift shops prevent that waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场). They give clothing a second life, provide cheaper clothing forthose who can\'t afford to buy new ones and generate (创造) income forcharities. They also provide a way forthe wealthy and middle classes to shed (摆脱) the guilt fortheir level of consumption.When Barth was a college student, he often shopped at thrift shops ______.【单选题】
A.to save money
B.to save energy
C.to help the environment
D.to make friends with poorpeople
正确答案:A
答案解析:本题有一定难度,需要认真阅读文章,答案依据在文章第三段。带着题干信息到文章定位,认真阅读文章第三段,第二句谈到,一些像他一样的人,为了省钱去旧货店买衣服,所以答案是A。
2、BudgetA budget is a spending plan. It can help you spend money wisely. It can do this by cutting out wasteful spending. Of course, preparing a budget takes planning, and following a budget takes will power. Your budget should meet your family\'s needs and income. The first step in creating a budget is to setyour goals. What does your family need and wants. You must know this to work out the details of the budget. Keep goals realistic, in terms of income available. Then decide which goals are the most important. The next step is estimating family income. Before you can plan wisely, you need to know how much money you have to spend! Write down all the money you expect to receive (wages, savings, interest, etc.) during the planned budget period. After you have calculated how much money will be available, it is time to estimate expenses. List all of your family expenses. If you are not satisfied with what you got foryour money, look carefully at your spending. Studying your records will show where overspending has occurred. It will also point out poorbuying habits. It is also a good idea to setaside a small amount of money foremergencies. Every family has small emergencies: a blown tire, a broken device, orthe need forminormedical care. One advantage of keeping a record of your spending is that____. 【单选题】
A.you will remember how much you have already spent
B.you will know if you have spent more money than you planned
C.you will be able to tell your family what should not be bought
D.you will learn how to make a better budget next time
正确答案:B
答案解析:第5段讲了“Studying your records will show where overspending has occurred. It will also point out poorbuying habits”(消费记录可以找出哪里超支了,或者可以发现一些不良购买习惯)。所以B是正确答案。
3、A Bad IdeaThink you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e - mail and listen to music at the same time 7 Well, New York\'s new law says you can\'t. _____. 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 estimate is based on surveys with office workers. 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:F
答案解析:本题难度不是很大。可用排除法和代入法。本题的上文谈到纽约新的法律规定在走路开车时不能打电话,发邮件,听音乐,下文转到谈新法律发生效力时间,所以可以推断此处会继续跟着上文展开阐述,应该讲如果你做了会导致什么结果,回来看选项,把F代入文中,符合逻辑,答案是F。
4、I\'d very much like to know what your aim in life is.【单选题】
A.thought
B.idea
C.goal
D.plan
正确答案:C
答案解析:我很想知道你的人生目标是什么。本题有一定难度,虽然选项都是常用词汇,但干扰项干扰较大。aim和goal都有“目标”的意思,是近义词,A项指“思想”,B项指“想法”,D项指“计划”,最佳答案是C。
5、A Great Quake Coming?Everyone lives in San Francisco knows that earthquakes are common in the Bay Area and they can devastate. In 1906, forexample, a majorquake destroyed about 28000 buildings and killed hundreds, perhaps thousands of people. Residents now wonder when will the next "Big One" strike. It\'s bound to happen someday. At least seven active fault(断层) lines run through the San Francisco area. Faults are places where pieces of Earth\'s crust (地壳) slide past each other. When these pieces slip, the ground shakes.To prepare forthat day, scientists are using new techniques to reanalyze the 1906 earthquake and predict how bad the damage might be when the next one happens.One new finding about the 1906 quake is that the San Andreas Fault split apart faster than scientists had assumed at the time. During small earthquakes, faults rupture(断裂) about 2.7 kilometers persecond. During bigger quakes, however, ruptures can happen faster than 3.5 kilometers persecond.At such high speeds, massive amounts of pressure build up, generating underground waves that can cause more damage than the quake itself. Lucky forSan Francisco, these pressure pulses (脉冲) traveled away from the city during the 1906 event.Looking ahead, scientists are trying to predict when the next majorquake will occur. Records show that earthquakes were common before 1906. Since then, the area has been relatively quiet. Patterns in the data, however, suggest that the probability of a majorearthquake striking the Bay Area before 2032 is at least 62 percent.New buildings in San Francisco are quite safe in case of future quakes. Still, more than 84 percent of the city\'s buildings are old and weak. Analyses suggest that another massive earthquake would cause extensive damage.People who live there today tend to feel safe because San Francisco has remained pretty quiet fora while. According to the new research, however, it\'s not a matter that whether "the Big One" will hit here. It\'s just a matter of when.Scientists will be able to predict the exact time of an earthquake soon.【单选题】
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
正确答案:C
答案解析:本题难度较大,没有明显的答案依据,需要通读全文,做出判断。第五段第一句:Looking ahead, scientists are trying to predict when the next majorquake will occur.{炎到展望未来,科学家正努力预测下次大地震的发生,但全文只谈到在积极预测地震,没有提及是否能够预测出准确的时间,所以本题未提及,答案是C。
6、Cloning: Future Perfect?1 A clone is an exact copy of a plant oranimal produced from any one cell. Since Scottish scientists reported that they had managed to clone a sheep named Dolly in 1997, research into cloning has grown rapidly. In May 1998, scientists in Massachusetts managed to create two identical calves using cloning technology. A mouse has also been cloned successfully. But the debate over cloning humans really started when Chicago physicist Richard Seed made a surprising announcement: "We will have managed to clone a human being within the next two years," he told the world. 2 Seed\'s announcement provoked a lot of media attention, most of it negative. In Europe, nineteen nations have already signed an agreement banning human cloning and in the US the President announced: "We will be introducing a law to ban human cloning and many states in the US will have passed anti-cloning laws by the end of the year". 3 Many researchers are not so negative about cloning. They are worried that laws banning human cloning will threaten important research. In March, The New England Journal of Medicine called any plan to ban research on cloning humans seriously mistaken. Many researchers also believe that in spite of attempts to ban it, human cloning will have become routine by 2010 because it is impossible to stop the progress of science. 4 Is there reason to fear that cloning will lead to a nightmare world? The public has been bombarded (轰炸) with newspaper articles, television shows and films, as well as cartoons. Such information is often misleading, and makes people wonder what on earth the scientists will be doing next. 5 Within the next five to ten years scientists will probably have found a way of cloning humans. It could be that pretty soon we will be able to choose the person that we want our child to look like. But how would it feel to be a clone among hundreds, the anti-cloners ask Pretty cool, answer the pro-cloners (赞成克隆的人). Richard Seed\'s announcement received ____. 【单选题】
A.the nucleus of a cell
B.cloned human beings
C.a human being in two years
D.a law to ban human cloning
E.a report on human cloning
F.heavy media coverage
正确答案:F
答案解析:文章第2段谈到Seed的言论引起了激烈的反应,故选F。

9、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 (南极洲) in 1983.We encounter an interesting situation when we discuss temperatures in space.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, de signed space suits that protect astronauts from these temperature extremes.The space temperatures just discussed affect only our areal 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 to a temperature barely above absolute zero. They won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 fortheir work, not a discovery, in this case.Why is the two scientists\' work so important to science?In the 1920s, Satyendra Nath Bose was studying an interesting theory about special light particles we now call photons (光子). Bose had trouble convincing other scientists to believe his theory, so he contacted Albert Einstein. Einstein\'s calculations helped him theorize that atoms would behave as Bose thought—but only at very cold temperatures.Scientists have also discovered that ultra - cold(超冷) 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 ______ six million years! Such accuracy will help us travel in space because distance is velocity times time 4 ( d = v×t). With the long distances involved in space travel, we need to know time as accurately as possible to get accurate distance.【单选题】
A.any
B.each
C.some
D.every
正确答案:D
答案解析:本题有一定难度,考查不定代词every的用法,干扰项有一定的干扰。根据上下文逻辑,文章此处是说“……每六百万年仅差一秒”,each后面不能跟复数名词,因此最佳答案是D。
10、HalloweenHalloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening", and it comes every October 31, the evening before All-Saints Day. It used to be thought the most wonderful night of the year. It was the night when witches and evil spirits came back on earth. People kept up many strange old customs in an effort to keep these evil things away. Farmers used to light big fires in their fields, and the farm workers and their families would walk around the fields singing old songs. Sometimes they would stop to hear the local priest offer prayers to the good spirits, and ask them to help keep the evil ones away. Great care was taken that none of the farm animals were left in the fields. They would all be locked up safely in their stables, and over each of the stable doors a few rowan leaves would be hung. Witches and evil spirits would not go anywhere near the rowan tree. In more recent times, Halloween has become a time forthe parties, when children dress up as witches and play all kinds of special games. After the games there is often a big supper with plenty of pumpkin pie, cakes and a lot of other delicious things to eat. But forthe most part the children enjoy the fun of dressing up and playing their favorite game of "Trick orTreat". They run down each street knocking on the doors crying loudly "Trick orTreat! Money oreat!", and most people have some sweets ormoney ready to give them. Those that do not can expect maybe to have a tyre flattened, ortheir windows covered in soap. orthe children may just knock on the doorand run away. Some children think of other people on Halloween. They carry boxes forUNICEF (The United Nations International Children\'s Emergency Fund). They ask formoney to help poorchildren all around the world. Of course, every time they help UNICEF, they usually receive a treat forthemselves, too. Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put lights inside. It looks like there is a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o\'-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern". But in this modern age many of the pumpkins are being replaced with plastic electric ones that can be brought out each year. Which of the following statements about Halloween is FALSE, according to the text?【单选题】
A.Halloween has become a time forparties.
B.Children dress up as witches and play special games.
C.People will enjoy a big supper with many delicious things to eat
D.Children will give sweets ormoney to their parents.
正确答案:D
答案解析:第4段讲了孩子们是怎样欢喜地过这个夜晚的,敲门索要糖果吃,如果不给他们吃的,可能你的轮胎就会被放气,窗户可能会被涂上肥皂。因此选项D的内容是错误的。
