2、The Beginning of American LiteratureAmerican has always been a lａｎｄ　of beginnings. After Europeans "discovered" America in the fifteenth century, the mysterious New World became fｏｒmany people a genuine hope of a new life, an escape from poverty ａｎｄ　persecution, a chance to start again. We can say that, as nation, America begins with that hope. When, however, does American literature begin?American literature begins with American experiences. Long before the first colonists arrived, before Christopher Columbus, before the Northmen who "found" America about the year 1,000, Native Americans lived here. Each tribe\'s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life ａｎｄ　reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land. Another kind of experience, one filled with fear ａｎｄ　excitement, found its expression in the reports that Columbus ａｎｄ　other explorers sent home in Spain, French ａｎｄ　English. In addition, the journals of the people who lived ａｎｄ　died in the New Englａｎｄ　wilderness tell unforgettable tales of hard ａｎｄ　sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years.Experience, then, is the key to early American literature. The New World provided a great variety of experiences, ａｎｄ　these experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers. These writers included John Smith, who spent only two-and-a-half years on the American continent. They included Jonathan Edwards ａｎｄ　William Byrd, who thought of themselves as British subjects, never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own. American Indians, explorers, Puritan ministers, frontier wives, plantation owner-they are all the creators of the first American literature.What does "that hope" in the first paragraph refer to?【单选题】

A.The hope that America would be discovered.

B.The hope to start a new life.

C.The hope to see the mysteries of the New World.

D.The hope to find poverty here.

正确答案:B

答案解析:这里的that hope就是指上一句中的a genuine hope ofa new life。

3、Women Staying in Mini-Skirts fｏｒLongerBritish women are happy nowadays to wear mini-skirts up until the age of40, according to research by Debenhams.Just 20 years ago, few women would dare to wear a mini-skirt. after the age of 33, the store said. "It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies ａｎｄ　are happy to dress accordingly," it added in a statement. "If this trend continues, there\'s no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid 40s ａｎｄ　early 50s will rightly regard a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe. "The figures emerged when the store examined the latest age profile of women buying short,36-cm skirts over the past six months. Their results show that it has jumped from an average age of36-years-old at the start of millennium to 40 today. Figures from 1980 showed that on average women stopped buying minis when they reached 33 years old, a figure unchanged from the mid-1960s.The store noted that experts believe that the popularity of intensive gym culture, providing women with well toned bodies fｏｒlonger may be the reason, The increasing number of British women living on their own may also be a factor.The Debenhams\' study showed that a modern woman\'s love affair with a mini-skirt begins at the age of 14 but that she doesn\'t buy her first one until the age of 16. Instead, she flouts school rules by rolling up the waistbａｎｄ　of the school uniform to give the impression of wearing a mini skirt.Skirts get shorter between the ages of 16 ａｎｄ　19, reducing in size from 46 to 36 cm before reaching their shortest, a mere 32 cm, at the age of 23. Skirt length increases slightly between the ages of 23 ａｎｄ　27, rising to 37 cm, possibly due to girls being in their first stable relationship, with no desire to attract attention, the store said.However, it found short skirts suddenly zoom in popularity between the ages of27 ａｎｄ　34, as those early relationships break down, ａｎｄ　new relationships are formed. The move into longer skirts begins irreversibly at 40 years old, when 46-cm skirts, still slightly above the knee are the norm. From then on, skirt length increases dramatically, falling below the knee fｏｒthe very first time since school days at the age of42.Debenhams could most possibly be ____.【单选题】

A.a fashion magazine

B.a lifestyle association

C.an expert on trends

D.a department store

正确答案:D

答案解析:从第2段的第1句话可知，Debenhams是一个百货公司的名称。

4、Making Yourself a Good RecordIf you are an American ａｎｄ　you think you might need to borrow money someday, the best thing to do is to start early.That\'s because just as many employers want to hire only people with experience, banks ａｎｄ　other creditors are usually reluctant to lend to those without a proven track record of paying back, on time, the money they have borrowed.But if you need experience just to get a start, how do you get that start in the first place?With a little help from your parents usually, while you are still financially dependent on them. It is easy to get a credit card ｏｒstudent loan when you are in college, because banks figure your parents will bail you out if you fail to pay.So just as students take on internships to build up their resumes, one s university time can be a good time to work on another important personal record: the credit reportCredit reports are a summary of one\'s personal credit history, gathered by a credit reporting agency, ｏｒCRA.Banks, ａｎｄ　companies including hospitals, landlords ａｎｄ　insurance companies-regularly report to the three main CRAs in the US on how their customers are doing at paying back the money they owe.Anyone with a "legitimate business need" has the right to ｏｒｃｅｒindividuals\' reports from the CRAs. Potential creditors usually compile the information in the reports into a credit "score", ranking the level of creditworthiness. Lack of experience in borrowing in addition to a bad record of doing so, can result in a low score.Even if you are not considering taking out a loan fｏｒsuch a large purchase as a home ｏｒcar, your credit report can be important to getting through life. Landlords often ask fｏｒthe reports to judge whether a person can be trusted to pay the rent. Credit checks are necessary fｏｒgetting a credit card, even fｏｒpurchasing a mobile phone calling plan.People can obtain a copy of their own credit report, usually at a cost of around US$ 8-9. Some consumer organizations recommend doing this once a year to allow one to catch any mistakes that have slipped into the records or, even worse, to find out whether any fraud has taken place. Though the system is controlled by laws meant to protect people\'s privacy, it isn\'t fool-proof. Sometimes people take out bad loads in others\' names, ______ their records.In a society addicted tocredit, that can be a disaster.【单选题】

A.building up

B.updating

C.improving

D.ruining

正确答案:D

答案解析:空格之前的主句的意思是：以他人名义借款不还，这样最终的结果就是毁掉他人的信用记录。

5、Three Ways to Become More CreativeMost people believe they don\'t have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn\'t always connected with great works of art ｏｒideas. People at work ａｎｄ　in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer ｏｒyou just want to expａｎｄ　your mind! There are three techniques to help you.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas ａｎｄ　trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve ｏｒthe job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea ｏｒobject, fｏｒexample, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles, light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match ｏｒtake him out fｏｒthe night. Imagine that normal limitations don\'t exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal ａｎｄ　the new possibilities. If, fｏｒexample, your goal is to learn to ski (滑雪), you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time ａｎｄ　the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, ｏｒevery Monday in January.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators (谈判者) use this technique in business, ａｎｄ　so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can\'t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself "in their shoes". The best fishermen think they are the fish!According to the first technique, if you need to solve a problem ____.【单选题】

A.you could find an image ａｎｄ　try to link it with the problem

B.you should link it with candles

C.you have to think of buying a present fｏｒa friend

D.you should link it with as many words as possible

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题难度不大，不要先看选项，抓住题干的提示词the first technique回到文章定位，答案依据在文章第二段，核心依据是这一句：Think of as many as you can。可以看出，最佳答案是D。

正确答案:C

答案解析:英国女性中愿意穿超短裙的人群年龄有上升的趋势，主要是因为人们越来越自信，注意健身保持体形，以及女性生活更加独立。气候变暖不是文中所说的原因之一。

7、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 _____ in Antarctica 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-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.opened

B.occurred

C.opposed\'

D.operated

正确答案:B

答案解析:本段叙述地球上记录到的最低温度是-91℃，本段最后一句的后半句显然是交代这一最低温度是在南极洲出现的，所以occurred（发生、出现）是正确的选择。其他三个选项的词义与上下文的意思相去甚远。

8、Woman workThough some people have suggested that women should return to housework in ｏｒｃｅｒto leave more jobs fｏｒmen, the idea has been rejected by both women ａｎｄ　men in public opinion polls.Lately some ｕｎｉｏｎofficials have suggested that too many women are employed in types of work more suitable fｏｒmen ａｎｄ　that women should step aside to make way fｏｒunemployed young men. They argue that women, especially women in their childbearing years,actually delay economic development ａｎｄ　result in productivity, poｏｒquality ａｎｄ　inefficiency.To solve the problem, they suggested that working women stay at home while their husbands ｏｒbrothers were given double wages. They argue that under these circumstances, families would remain their same level of income, ａｎｄ　women could run the house ａｎｄ　raise children much better,The suggestion, however , has been flatly rejected by 9 0ut of 10 people polled .Some other people have suggested another way called "phased employment" theory. The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave from her job when she is seven months pregnant ａｎｄ　stay off the job until her baby reaches the age of 3. It suggested that women on leave receive 75 percent of their ____ salary ａｎｄ　be allowed to return to work after the three-year period. This will benefit children, women, their families ａｎｄ　the society ａｎｄ　it definitely seems to be more acceptable than the suggestion that women return to their homes forever.【单选题】

A.common

B.ordinary

C.normal

D.real

正确答案:C

答案解析:该句的意思是“休假期间可以得到正常工资的75%，三年后回来继续上班”。common、 ordinary是“普通的、一般的”要排除。real是真正的，不符合作者的意思。

9、DyslexiaAs many as 20% of all children in the United States suffer from some form of the learning disｏｒｃｅｒcalled dyslexia.Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not disease. They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way. One of the world\'s great thinkers ａｎｄ　scientists, Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do. He said that he thought in pictures instead. The American inventｏｒThomas Edison was also dyslexic. Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe ａｎｄ　the United States more than 80 year ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disｏｒｃｅｒwere not mentally slow ｏｒdisabled. The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different. In most people, the left side of the brain, the part that controls language is larger than the right side. In persons with dyslexia, the right’ side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference. However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males that in females, ａｎｄ　it is found more often in persons who are left-handed. No one knows the cause of dyslexia, but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a baby\'s body long before it is born. They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently ａｎｄ　need special kinds of teaching help. After they have solved their problems with language, they often show themselves to be especially intelligent ｏｒcreative.Dyslexic people often turn out to be intelligent ｏｒcreative once they have learned to handle language properly.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:题目中的关键词是intelligent ｏｒcreative，我们在全文最后一句找到答案，通过对比知道：show themselves to be—turn out to be，solve—handle等均属同义表达，所以该题正确答案是A。

10、The State of Marriage TodayIs there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, ａｎｄ　the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson fｏｒthe National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times ａｎｄ　extramarital affairs will be even more common than they are now.But what are the reasons fｏｒthis, ａｎｄ　is the picture really so gloomy? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based fｏｒyears partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didn\'t have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so they don\'t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now cohabit ａｎｄ　don\'t bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage ｏｒdivorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriages survive. The statistics are deceptive because there is a higher number of divorces in second ａｎｄ　third marriages than in first marriages.So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn\'t. ａｎｄ　it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress ａｎｄ　its consequences, such as heart problems, ａｎｄ　married men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage ａｎｄ　apply it to all of our relationships!How do people usually feel in their marriage life? 【单选题】

A.They are much healthier.

B.They feel no longer single.

C.They are more satisfied.

D.They suffer a lot less.

正确答案:C

答案解析:文中第4段第3句的后半句说得很清楚，结了婚的人比单身的人更满足。A、D选项提到的是实际情况而不是婚后人们的感觉，因此不对。文中并没有提到选项B所说的情况。
