1、Sharing SilenceDeaf teenagers Orlando Chavez ａｎｄ　German Resendiz have become friends since kindergarten (幼儿园). Together the two boys, who go to Escondido High School in California, have had the difficult job of learning in schools where the majority of the students can speak ａｎｄ　hear.Orlando lost his hearing at the age of one. German was borned deaf, ａｎｄ　his parents moved from Mexico to find a school where he could learn sign language. He met Orlando on their first day of kindergarten."We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids," German remembers. "Before then, I didn\'t know I was deaf ａｎｄ　I was different.""Being young ａｎｄ　deaf in regular classes was very hard," signs Orlando. "The other kids didn\'t understａｎｄ　us ａｎｄ　we didn\'t understａｎｄ　them. But we\'ve all grown up together, ａｎｄ　today, I\'m popular because I\'m deaf. Kids try hard to communicate with me."Some things are very difficult fｏｒthe two boys. "We can\'t talk on the phone. so if we need help, we can\'t call an emergency service," German signs. "ａｎｄ　we can\'t ｏｒｃｅｒfood in a drive - thru."Despite their difficulties, the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket. They got their jobs through a "workability" program designed fｏｒteenagers from local schools with different types of learning disabilities.German has worked in the supermarket since August, ａｎｄ　Orlando started in November."The other people who work here have been very nice to us," Orlando signs. "They even sign sometimes. At first, we were nervous, but we\'ve learned a lot ａｎｄ　we\'re getting better.The opportunity to earn money has been exciting, both boys said. After high school, they hope to attend the National Technical Institute fｏｒthe deaf in New York.The word emergency in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ____.【单选题】

B.alarm

C.crisis

D.quick

正确答案:C

2、A Bad IdeaThink you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e - mail ａｎｄ　listen to music at the same time? 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，下文谈到新法律发生效力的时间，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。

3、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.Paragraph 5 ____【单选题】

A.A new pair of eyes

B.Computers that can communicate

C.Everlasting consciousness on a computer

D.Time to break off a friendship

E.An authｏｒａｎｄ　researcher

F.A new pair of ears

5、Desirable Qualities in a TeacherHere I want to try to give you an answer to the question: What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? Probably no two people would draw up exactly similar lists, but I think the following would be generally accepted.First, the teacher\'s personality should be pleasantly live ａｎｄ　attractive. This does not _____ people who are physically plain, ｏｒeven ugly, because many such have great personal charm. I would say that excludes all of dull ｏｒpurely negative personality. I still stick to what I said in my earlier book: that school children probably suffer more from bores than from brutes.Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential fｏｒa teacher to have a great capacity fｏｒsympathy in the literal meaning of that word; a capacity to tune in to the minds ａｎｄ　feelings of other people, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, to the minds ａｎｄ　feelings of children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant not indeed, of what is wrong, but of frailty （脆弱) ａｎｄ　immaturity of human nature which induce people, ａｎｄ　again especially children, to make mistakes.Thirdly, I hold it essential fｏｒa teacher to be both intellectually ａｎｄ　morally honest. This does not mean being a plaster saint. It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths.【单选题】

A.include

B.involve

C.keep out

D.rule out

正确答案:D

答案解析:rule out意为“排除”，符合文意。而且其后也出现了这一词组。

6、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 ______ 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 affects 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.from

B.with

C.in

D.of

正确答案:A

答案解析:“来自于”哪个国家，英文用from表示。

7、One-Room SchoolsOne-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States, ａｎｄ　the mention of them makes people feel a longing fｏｒ"the way things were." One - room schools are an endangered species (种类), however. Fｏｒmore than a hundred years, one - room schools have been systematically shut down ａｎｄ　their students were sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one - room schools in the United States. By 1970 there were 1,800. Today, of the nearly 800 remaining one - room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are spread through a few other states that have on their road maps wide - open spaces between towns.Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one - room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today. Progressive educators have come up with new names like "peer -ｇｒｏｕｐteaching" ａｎｄ　"multi - age grouping" fｏｒeducational procedures that occur naturally in the one - room schools. In a one - room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. The fourth grader can work at the fifth grade level in math ａｎｄ　the third grade level in English without the bad name associated with being left back ｏｒthe pressures of being skipped (超过) ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his ｏｒher own level without being separated from other pupils. A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom ａｎｄ　it becomes clear why so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one - room school.A majｏｒcharacteristic of the one - room school system is that ____.【单选题】

A.learning is not limited to one grade level

B.pupils mostly study math ａｎｄ　English

C.some children have to be left back

D.teachers are always busy

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定的难度，考生不太好定位，需要认真读第二段找答案。第二段第四句话谈到，大教室学校的不同年级的学生要相互教对方，因为老师不停地忙于教其他年级的学生，换句话说，不同年级的学生要在一个大教室里学习。回来看选项，A是近义解释，是最佳答案。做本题时可以先看选项，得到信息提示。

10、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. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign fｏｒgun control ｏｒwin power, not ____, 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.either

B.both

C.each

D.one

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要认真阅读文章，理解好句意。文章此处是说“要么为枪支控制发起活动，要么就是赢得总统大选，不可能两者都做到”，所以最佳答案是B。
