1、BaseballThere are people in Italy who can\'t stａｎｄ　soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn ｏｒeven frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it\'s a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet ａｎｄ　gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there\'s the sport that glorifies "the hit".By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent ａｎｄ　still. On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays ａｎｄ　close ups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space ａｎｄ　time fｏｒinvolvement. The TV won\'t do it fｏｒyou.Take, fｏｒexample, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout ａｎｄ　you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms ｏｒbring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right ｏｒleft, backward ｏｒforward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman\'s position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. "Nothing happened," you say. "I could have had my eyes closed".The skeptic ａｎｄ　the innocent must play the game. ａｎｄ　this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood if football is a symphony of movement ａｎｄ　theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores ａｎｄ　responses.Those who don\'t like baseball may complain that ____.【单选题】

A.it is only to the taste of the old

B.it involves fewer players than football

C.it is not exciting enough

D.it is pretentious ａｎｄ　looks funny

正确答案:C

答案解析:文章第一段指出：许多人不喜欢垒球，一提起垒球这些人就打哈欠甚至皱眉头。对他们来说，看垒球意味着眼巴巴地观望着身着运动装(outfit)的人呆立在球场上，东瞧瞧西望望，很少有什么（激动人心的）事发生，没意思透了。他们认为这样的运动更适合上个世纪的人的口味，不像橄榄球那样充满活力。A:它只适合老年人的口味。注意：说的是适合上个世纪的人的口味，意味不一样。D：矫揉造作、滑稽可笑。这与说它gentlemanly（具有绅士风度、矜持，没有冲撞或拼抢）不一样。

2、GypsiesWhen school was out, I hurried to find my sister ａｎｄ　get out of the schoolyard before seeing anybody in my class. But Barbara ａｎｄ　her friends had beaten us to the playground entrance ａｎｄ　they seemed to be waiting fｏｒus. Barbara said, "So now you\'re in the A class. " She sounded impressed. "What\'s the A class?" I asked. Everybody made superiｏｒyet faintly envious giggling sounds. "Well, why did you think the teacher moved you to the front of the room, dopey? Didn\'t you know you were in the C class before, way in the back of the room?" Of course I hadn\'t known. The Wenatchee fifth grade was bigger than my whole school which had been in North Dakota, ａｎｄ　the idea of subdivisions within a grade had never occurred to me. The subdividing fｏｒthe first marking period had been done before I came to the school, ａｎｄ　1 had never, in the six weeks I\'d been there, talked to anyone long enough to find out about the A, B, ａｎｄ　C classes.I still could not understａｎｄ　why that had made such a difference to Barbara ａｎｄ　her friends. I didn\'t yet know that it was shameful ａｎｄ　dirty to be a transient laborer ａｎｄ　ridiculous to be from North Dakota. I thought living in a tent was more fun than living in a house.I didn\'t know that we were gypsies, really (how that thought would have excited me then!), ａｎｄ　that we were regarded with the suspicion felt by those who plant toward those who do not plant. It didn\'t occur to me that we were all looked upon as one more of the untrustworthy natural phenomena, drifting here ａｎｄ　there like mists ｏｒwinds. I didn\'t know that I was the only child who had camped on the Baumann\'s lａｎｄ　ever to get out of the C class. I didn\'t know that school administrators ａｎｄ　civic leaders held conferences to talk about the problem of transient laborers.I only knew that fｏｒtwo happy days I walked to school with Barbara ａｎｄ　her friends, played hopscotch ａｎｄ　jumped rope with them at class intervals, ａｎｄ　was even invited into the house fｏｒsome ginger ale --－－a strange drink I had never tasted before.The tone of this passage as a whole is ____.【单选题】

A.reflective

B.enthusiastic

C.impersonal

D.defensive

正确答案:A

答案解析:reflective在此意为： 回顾的。在这个问题中tone： 语气、心情。纵观全文，我们可以看出，叙述者是在回忆她童年时发生的一件事（第一、二、三、四段）及这件事的发生所给她带来的感受（第四、五段）。impersonal：不涉及个人情感的、客观的；defensive：辩护的、申辩的。这里并非是作者因受到指责而为自己辩护，本文主要谈的是人与人之间的歧视给作者当时幼小心灵带来的困惑。

3、Cooking Oil Fumes Cause TumorThe leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking, said medical experts after a fiveyear research study.Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer, They said patients are younger, especially women.According to the Shanghai Tumｏｒresearch Institute, more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else. Following breast cancer, it has the second-highest incidence rate."An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason fｏｒlung cancer," said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine TumｏｒDiagnosis ａｎｄ　Treatment Center.He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients fｏｒfive years. Among them, 1,433 were male.Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking ｏｒinhaling second-hａｎｄ　smoke, according to the report.However, more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term, close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking ａｎｄ　complained about irritated eyes ａｎｄ　throat.About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens ａｎｄ　about 25 percent of women\'s bedrooms were adjacent to the kitchen.However, local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer. Some claimed they may change food preparation methods. "Unless my family ａｎｄ　I don\'t eat at home every day, I must stay in the kitchen to cook," said Xu Li, a 45-year-old local woman. "I know the fumes are bad fｏｒthe skin, but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer. I have already started frying less. "Doctors said women\'s lung cancer had few links to personal health ａｎｄ　physical condition, but was closely related to family cancer history, unhealthy dietary habits ａｎｄ　weak immune systems.Other experts agreed with him."Smoking is by far the biggest cause of lung cancer fｏｒmen," said Dr. Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University\'s Medical College. "It\'s true that second-hａｎｄ　smoke ａｎｄ　cooking fumes are the main causes among women. "His research also warned people not to stａｎｄ　near of stalls selling fried foods due to the poｏｒquality of oils used.The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume fｏｒa long time, experts said.What a new tendency in lung cancer is concluded by the researchers?【单选题】

A.Men are more likely to develop lung cancer than women

B.Women are more likely to develop lung cancer than men

C.Patients with lung cancer become older, especially males

D.Patients with lung cancer become younger, especially females

正确答案:D

答案解析:主旨题。题干考查的是研究者关于肺癌新趋势的结论。答案参见第二段：They said patients are younger，especially women（肺癌的新趋势就是“病人更年轻，尤其是妇女”）。故正确答案为D。

4、Egypt Felled by Famine Even ancient Egypt\'s mighty pyramid builders were powerless in the face of the famine that helped bring down their civilization around 2180 BC. Now evidence gleaned from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blame ａｎｄ　the same ｏｒworse could happen today. The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile\'s annual floods to irrigate their crops. But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons southwards out of Ethiopia would have diminished these floods. Dwindling rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stablize the soil. When rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile ａｎｄ　into Egypt, along with sediment from the White Nile. The Blue Nile mud has a different isotope signature from that of the White Nile. So by analyzing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta, Michael Krom of Leeds University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river. Krom reasons that during periods of drought, the amount of the Blue Nile mud in the river would be relatively high. He found that one of these periods, from 4,500 to 4,200 years ago, immediately predates the fall of the Egypt\'s Old Kingdom. The weakened waters would have been catastrophic fｏｒthe Egyptians. " Changes that affect food supply don\'t have to be very large to have a ripple effect in societies," says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doberty Earth Observatory in New York. "Similar events today could be even more devastating," says team member Daniel Stanley, a geoarchaeologist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D C. " Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the populations have increased dramatically. " The word "devastating" in the last paragraph could be best replaced by____. 【单选题】

A. "frustrating".

B."damaging".

C."defeating".

D."worrying".

正确答案:B

答案解析:devastate：使荒芜、破坏；devastating：破坏性的。frustrate：使受挫、受挫，frustrating:令人失望的。damage： 破坏、毁灭；damaging：破坏的或毁灭的，跟devastating意思相近，是合适的选择。defeat：击败；worry：担忧、发愁；worrying：令人担忧的、令人发愁的。

" Which of the following statements is true? 【单选题】

A.The White Nile is the trunk of the River Nile.

B.The White Nile is the trunk of the Blue Nile.

C.The White Nile is a branch of the Blue Nile.

D.The White Nile ａｎｄ　the Blue Nile are branches of the River Nile.

正确答案:D

答案解析: D说的是：青尼罗河和白尼罗河是尼罗河的支流。第四段中的最后一句话是这么说的：… worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river. 这里的“河”是指“尼罗河”，“每条支流”是指上文所说的“青尼罗河”和“白尼罗河”。因此，D是正确的答案。A：白尼罗河是尼罗河的干流。B：白尼罗河是青尼罗河的干流。C:白尼罗河是青尼罗河的支流。显然，这些都不是答案。
