2、A Country\'s Standard of LivingThe "standard of living" of any country means the average person\'s share of the goods ａｎｄ　services the country produces. A country\'s standard of living, therefore, depends first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, fｏｒwe do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods such as food ａｎｄ　clothing", ａｎｄ　"services" such as transport ａｎｄ　entertainment.A country\'s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors most of ____ have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country\'s natural resources. Some region of the world are well supplied with coal ａｎｄ　minerals, ａｎｄ　have fertile (肥沃的) soil ａｎｄ　a favorable climate, other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use, China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered fｏｒmany years from civil ａｎｄ　external wars, Fｏｒthis ａｎｄ　other reasons it was unable to develop her resources. Sound ａｎｄ　stable political conditions, ａｎｄ　freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully ａｎｄ　steadily, to produce more wealth than other country.A country\'s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced ａｎｄ　consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. Fｏｒexample, Britain\'s wealth in foodstuffs ａｎｄ　other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible fｏｒher surplus (剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad fｏｒthe agricultural products which would otherwise be lacking. A country\'s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, providing that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.【单选题】

A.that

B.these

C.what

D.which

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，干扰项干扰较大，本题考查引导非限制性定语从句的关系词，先行词是factors，所以最佳答案是D。

3、Stop Eating Too much"Clean your plate!"and" Be a member of the clean-plate club!" Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent ｏｒgrandparent. Often, it\'s accompanied by an appeal: "Just think about those starving orphans (孤儿) in Africa!" Sure, we should be grateful fｏｒevery bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of saying "clean the plate", perhaps we should save some food fｏｒtomorrow.According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame fｏｒthe growing bellies(肚子). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value ａｎｄ　most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition (营养) professｏｒat Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline(腰围) began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling fｏｒthis too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believed restaurants served portions that were too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who can\'t afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earn at least $ 150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45 percent of those earning less than $25, 000 want smaller.It\'s not that working class Americans don\'t want to eat healthy. It\'s just that, after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck (薪金支票) to paycheck, happy to save a little money fｏｒnext year\'s Christmas presents.(2008年)Why do American restaurants serve large portions?【单选题】

A.Because Americans have big bellies.

B.Because Americans associate quantity with value.

C.Because Americans are good eaters.

D.Because Americans are too weak.

正确答案:B

答案解析:题干问“为什么美国餐馆提供的食物量大”。参见文章第二段，传统上美国人把东西值不值跟数量联系在一起，因此餐厅给的食物分量大，乐于让顾客们抱怨饭菜给得太多而不乐于让他们抱怨饭菜给得太少。故正确答案为B。

4、The policeman wrote down all the particulars of the accident.【单选题】

A.secrets

B.details

C.benefits

D.words

正确答案:B

答案解析:题干大意：警察记录了这个事故的所有细节。画线词particulars（详细情况）与选项dentils（细节）同义。secret：秘密；benefit：利益；word:话语。故答案为B。

5、How to Be a Successful Business personHave you ever wondered why some people are successful in business ａｎｄ　others are not? Here\'s a story about one successful business person. He started out washing dishes ａｎｄ　today he owns 168 restaurants.Zubair Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be an airplane pilot, ａｎｄ　when he was 16 years old, he learned to fly a small plane.At the age of 23 ａｎｄ　with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working fｏｒa company that rented cars.While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental (租赁的) company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. Fｏｒtwo months, he worked as a cook\'s assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen ａｎｄ　help the cook. "I didn\'t like it," Mr. Kazi says, "but I always did the best I could."One day, Mr. Kazi\'s two co - workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant.A few months later, the owners needed a manager fｏｒa new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. He worked hard as the manager ａｎｄ　soon the restaurant was making a profit.A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money. The restaurant was dirty inside ａｎｄ　the food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank ａｎｄ　bought the restaurant. Fｏｒthe first six months, Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 A.m. to 10 p. m., seven days a week. He ａｎｄ　his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building, ａｎｄ　improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. If someone had to wait more than ten minutes fｏｒtheir food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before long the restaurant was making a profit.A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant fｏｒa profit. With the money he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, ａｎｄ　retrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit, too.Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isn\'t planning to stop there. He\'s looking fｏｒmore poorly managed restaurants to buy. "I love it when I go to buy a restaurant ａｎｄ　find it\'s a mess," Mr. Kazi says. "The only way it can go is up."In the last paragraph, "it\'s a mess" means ____.【单选题】

A.it\'s small

B.it\'s dirty

C.it\'s profitable

D.it\'s cheap

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题是词义题，难度不大，也是送分题，阅读理解题中的词汇题大多可以通过直接翻查同义词词典直接确定答案。可以确定，mess指“脏乱”，所以答案是B。

6、J. K. RowlingLike that of her own character, Harry Potter, J. K. Rowling\'s life has the luster of a fairy tale. Divorced, living on public assistance in a tiny Edinburgh flat with her infant daughter, Rowling wrote Harry Potter ａｎｄ　the Sorcerer\'s Stone at a table in a cafe during her daughter\'s naps ａｎｄ　it was Harry Potter that rescued her.Rowling remembers that she always wanted to write ａｎｄ　that the first story she actually wrote down, when she was five ｏｒsix, was a story about a rabbit called Rabbit. Many of her favorite memories center around _____ .On a particularly long train ride from Manchester to London in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who is a wizard ａｎｄ　doesn\'t know it. He attends a school fｏｒwizardry -she could see him very plainly in her mind. By the time the train pulled into King\'s Cross Station four hours later, many of the characters ａｎｄ　the early stages of the plot were fully formed in her head. The story took further shape as she continued working on it in pubs ａｎｄ　cafes over her lunch hours.Rowling was working as a French teacher when she heard that her book about the boy wizard had been accepted fｏｒpublication. Harry Potter ａｎｄ　the Philosopher\'s Stone was published in June1997 ａｎｄ　achieved almost instant success. With the publication of the American edition, retitled Harry Potter ａｎｄ　the Sorcerer\'s Stone, in 1998, Rowling\'s books continued to make publishing history. Harry Potter climbed to the top of all the bestseller lists fｏｒchildren\'s ａｎｄ　adult books. In Britain a separate edition of the first book appeared with a more "adult" dust jacket so that grown-ups reading it on trains ａｎｄ　subways would not have to hide their copy behind a newspaper.J. K. Rowling lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, with her daughter Jessica ａｎｄ　continues to work on writing the seven-book story of Harry Potter. 【单选题】

A.would not have to hide their copy behind a newspaper.

B.With the publication of the American edition,

C.By the time the train pulled into King\'s Cross Station

D.Young people prefer to read stories about cities.

E.enjoying the fantastic adventure stories.

F.during her daughter\'s naps

正确答案:E

答案解析:根据前文“她记得她在六、七岁时写的第一个关于兔子的故事，她的美好记忆都围绕着……”，后面一定是奇妙的冒险故事，所以选E。

7、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 from 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 ______ 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.earn

B.borrow

C.change

D.cost

正确答案:A

答案解析:空格所在句的大概意思是：许多工程师和技术员在中东挣的工资至少是在他们自己国家的两倍，这是一个主要的吸引力。可见A项是正确答案。

9、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 4 ____【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

正确答案:F

答案解析:本题难度不大，第四段有明显的主旨句：Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the“listening machine”，主要讲其如何帮助聋哑人听见东西。F项A new pair of ears，“一对新的耳朵”，可以概括本段内容，答案是F。

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 (婚外的) affairs will be even more common than they are now.But what are the reasons fｏｒthis, ａｎｄ　is the picture really so gloomy (黑暗的)? 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 (悲观的) 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 simply live together 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.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! (2011年)Why is the outlook of marriage not as hopeless as it appears?【单选题】

A.Many people still like to get married.

B.The rate of divorce has actually decreased.

C.Over 60% of the marriages continue to exist.

D.The statistics of divorce is reliable.

正确答案:A

答案解析:细节考查题。题干问“前景似乎不像人们想的那么悲观的原因”。正确答案为A“很多人仍然想结婚”。离婚率没有下降而是上升了，故I3项与原文信息不符；选项C和D与原文内容不符。
