1、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 both, 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 ____ 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】

2、Fermi ProblemOn a Monday morning in July, the world\'s first atom bomb exploded in the New Mexico desert, Forty seconds later, the shook waves reached the base camp where the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fezmi and his team stood. After a mental calculation, Fermi announced to his team that the bomb\'s energy had equated 10,000 tons of TNT. The bomb team was impressed, but not surprised. Fermi\'s genius was known throughout the scientific world. In 1938 he had won a Nobel Prize. Four years later he produced the first nuclear chain reaction, leading us into the nuclear age. Since Fermi\'s death in 1954, no physicist has been at once a master experimentalist and a leading theoretician.Like all virtuosos (大师), Fermi had a distinctive style. He preferred the most direct route to an answer. He was very good at dividing difficult problems into small, manageable bits talent we all can use in our daily lives.To develop this talent in his students, Fermi would suggest a type of question now known as a Fermi problem. Upon first hearing one of these, you haven\'t the remotest notion of the answer, and you feel certain that too little information had been given to solve it, Yet when the problem is broken into sub-problems, each answerable without the help of expert. s orbooks, you can come close to the exact solution.Suppose you want to determine Earth\'s circumference without looking it up. Everyone knows that New York and Los Angeles are about 3,000 miles apart and that the time difference between them is three hours. Three hours is one-eighth of a day, and a day is the time it takes the planet to complete one rotation, so its circumference must be eight times 3000 0r 24000 miles. This answer differs from the true value, 24,902. 45 miles, by less than four percent.Ultimately the value of dealing with everyday problems the way Fermi did lies in the rewards of making independent discoveries and inventions. It doesn\'t matter whether the discovery is as important as determining the power of an atom oras small as measuring the distance between New York and Los Angeles. Looking up the answer, orletting someone else find it deprives you of the pleasure and pride that accompany creativity, and deprives you of an experience that builds up self-confide. Thus, approaching personal dilemmas as Fermi problems can become a habit that enriches your life.Fermi was famous forinventing a device to calculate bomb\'s energy accurately.【单选题】

6、EducationWhen a teacher finds a way to make a real difference in the students\' lives that\'s what education is all about. Let me tell you a story. Back in 1944 we had a new student named Roger, he was the first black student in our school, and everyone had some pretty ignorant views on the subject of black people . The other kids weren\'t bad children; they were just copying their parents, and well, I\'m afraid most of their parents had some pretty ignorant views on the subject of black people . But as you know, when you\'re twelve years old, you\'re just starting to have your own opinions about things, and I knew this could be a very important moment in their education. I knew I could make a real difference, ____ , but to all the other kids, too, if just handled it the right way.I decided I had to try to make Roger into someone special. Not like a teacher\'s pet, I wanted the other children to start seeing him as a human being , not just a dark shape in the back of the room. So I went after him with questions in every class. He was a bright little boy, so it was easy enough forme to establish him as a smart person with real value. I was pretty pleased, because I could see Roger becoming more confident, and although the other kids were still not very friendly, at least they stopped being so nasty to him.But you know what really changed everything? One day I could see Roger\'s mind was wandering: and without thinking I threw an eraser in his direction. I only meant to get his attention, but the eraser hit his hand and sent his pencil flying. The whole class roared! and afterwards, of course, all the kids went up to Roger to laugh with him about it . That\'s how he became an individual, someone special, to talk to and make friends with and that\'s how I became "Dead - Eye Bean".【单选题】
A.was giving him a hard time
B.had some pretty ignorant views on the subject of black people
C.while they were enjoying the same class
D.not only to little Roger
E.start seeing him as a human being
F.all the kids went up to Roger to laugh with him about it
正确答案:D
答案解析:空格的后面是“but to all the other kids,too”,这应该是一个not only. . . but (also)的句型。老师认为如果他能以正确的方法解决这个问题,不仅对Roger,而且对其他的黑人孩子也非常重要。因此答案是D。
7、A Carrot a Day Keeps Cancer AwayAmong all the malignancies, lung cancer is the biggest killer: more than 100,000 Americans a year die of the disease. Giving up smoking is one of obvious way to reduce the risk, but another answer may lie in the kitchen. According to a new report, even heavy smokers may be protected from developing lung cancer by a simple dietary measure: a daily portion of carrots, spinach orany other vegetable orfruit containing a form of vitamin A called carotene.The finding, published in the British medical journal The Lancet, is part of a long-range investigation of diet and disease. Since 1957 a team of American researchers has monitored the dietary habits and medical histories of 2,000 middle-aged men employed by the Western Electric Co. in Chicago. Led by Dr. Richard Shelelle of Chicago\'s Rush-Presbyterian, St. Luke\'s Medical Center, the researchers recently began to sort out the links between the subjects\' dietary patterns and cancer. Other studies of animals and humans have suggested that vitamin A offers some protection against lung cancer. The correlation seemed logical, since vitamin A is essential forthe growth of the epithelial (上皮的) tissue that lines the airways of the lungs.Vegetables: But the earlier research did not distinguish between two different forms of the vitamin. "Preformed" vitamin A, known as retinol, is found mainly in liver and dairy products like milk, cheese, butter and eggs. But vitamin A is also made in the body from carotene, which is abundant in a variety of vegetables and fruits, including carrots, spinach, squash, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and apples.In the Western Electric study, Shekelle and his colleagues found little correlation between the incidence of lung cancer and the consumption of foods containing preformed vitamin A, but when they examined the data on carotene intake, they discovered a significant relationship. Among the488 men who had the lowest level of carotene consumption, there were fourteen cases of lung cancer, in agroupof the same size that ate the most carotene, only two cases developed. The apparent protective effect of carotene held up even forlongtime smokers but to a lesser degree.Further studies will be necessary before the link between lung cancer and carotene can be firmly established. In the meantime, researchers warn against taking large numbers of vitamin A pills, because the tablets contain a form of the chemical that can be extremely toxic in high doses. Instead, they advise a well-balance diet that includes foods rich in carotene. Fora smoker, a half-cup of carrots every day might possibly make the difference between life and death.What does "malignancy" in the text refer to?【单选题】
A.Cancer.
B.Sickness.
C.Vitamins.
D.Disease.
正确答案:A
答案解析:这是一个很生僻的词,很少有考生认识,但是根据第1句话,“在众多的malignancy中,肺癌是最大的杀手”,这说明它是“癌症”。因此答案是A。
8、Continuing Education1 People around the world agree that education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate students only forthe aim of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them forlife. Life is varied; so is education.2 Ideas about education are more specified in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma ora college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. Forthem, learning does not end with a diploma.3 Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field orto learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills orto learn new ones. Scientists, mechanics, secretaries, barbers and cooks can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more orlearn more, they can get a better job orearn more money.4 Continuing education classes give more adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, orswimming. There are only some of the classes available.5 Some adults take classes forfun orbecause the class will be useful forthem. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.6 Almost any community college orpublic school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings orchurches. Most classes are in the evenings, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.Usually, the continuing education program is given ____.【单选题】

10、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 ______.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, ruining their records.In a society addicted tocredit, that can be a disaster.【单选题】
A.own
B.lend
C.owe
D.possess
正确答案:C
答案解析:A项和D项是近义词,所以可排除,空格所在的局部结构是:paying back the money they...(偿还他们……的钱),故C项为正确答案。
