Well, the family unit seems to be smaller here than in my country. For you, the family is simply Mum, Dad and the children.M. You have a more extended family circle?W. Yes. It’s quite common in my country to have a grandmother and an unmarried aunt or uncle living in as part of the family. And we wouldn’t dream of sending an elderly relative to an old persons’ home.M. You take care of elderly relatives yourselves, I gather.W.. Yes. We haven’t got all your welfare services and it’s
the family’s duty to look after an elderly parent.M. What about hospitality? Do you think English families do a lot of entertaining?W. Yes, but in a rather formal way. You don’t like people to “drop in” without a previous invitation, do you? In my country it’s quite usual to drop in on friends and relatives.M: Have you ever lived in with an English family?W. Yes. I was an au pair girl for a year, helping with the housework. I learned a lot about English family life then. I’d never realized how fond the Englishman is of his home and family, his garden and his pets.M. Did you enjoy living in with the family’?W: Oh, yes. They were very kind. Everybody helped with the washing up, including the children, and we always found time to sip tea and watch television in the evenings !

I try to get to the office for seven and then design jewellery for an hour and a half until it’s time to dash off to school which starts at nine.M: And then you’re at school all day?W:No, not at all. When the others go off for lunch, I go back to the office for another hour’s work.M: What time do you finish school?W:Half past four.M: What do you do then?W: It’s back to the office until about nine.M: So when do you find time to study?W: After that. I usually do about three hours’ revision before I go to bed at midnight.M:What are you going to do when you finish school?W: I plan to do business studies at Birmingham University.M: Do you really need to?W: Er, I expect it’ll be a little strange to learn the theory after having been involved in the practical side since I was thirteen.M: What do your school friends think of this?W: They’ve always thought I was a little different.

听力原文：W: Mr. Ford, is the number of complaints increasing or decreasing?M: There was a slight decrease last year. The highest number of complaints was two years ago when we received 7,300.W: Does the reduction mean that the quality of goods and services is improving? M: I don’t think so. It’s probably due to the poor economic situation. Most people are simply buying less.W: Is there any change in the nature of the complaints?M: Not really. People are still complaining about the same things.W: What do they complain about most often?M: Electrical appliances. Last year, we received 1,809 complaints about them- 25 per cent of all complaints. Then there are complaints about travel agencies, photographic and sound equipment, and clothing- in that order.W: What sort of complaints do you get about travel agencies?M: Oh, they include anything from air tickets to accommodation.W: Are most of the complaints justified?M: About 90 per cent of the complaints about travel agencies are justified. In other areas, investigation of about 50 per cent of the complaints reveals some kind of business malpractice, but overall about 30 per cent of the complaints are due to misunderstandings on the part of the consumer; the rest are too vague to be worth following up.W: How long does it take you to complete an investigation of a complaint?M: About two to three weeks for a proper investigation. We really need more staff.W: Thank you, Mr. Ford.M: My pleasure.

SECTION B PASSAGESDirections: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文： Today we’re going to evaluate the main tool used when addressing groups the voice. There are three main elements that combine to create either a positive or negative experience for listeners. They can result in a voice that is pleasing to listen to and can be used effectively. Or they can create a voice that doesn’t hold attention, or even worse, causes an adverse reaction. The three elements are volume, pitch, and pace; When evaluating volume, keep in mind that a good speaker will adjust to the size of both the room and the audience. Of course, with an amplifying device like a microphone, the speaker can use a natural tone. But speakers should not be dependent on microphones a good speaker can speak loudly without shouting. The second element, pitch, is related to the highness or lowness of the sounds. High pitches are, for most people, more difficult to listen to, so in
general speakers should use the lower registers of their voice. During a presentation, it’s important to vary pitch to some extent in order to maintain interest. Pace, that is how fast or slow words and sounds are articulated, should also be varied. A slower pace can be used to emphasize important points. Note that the time spent not speaking can be meaningful, too. Pauses ought to be used to signal transitions or create anticipation. Pauses can be very effective when moving from one topic to another.
12． What’s the main point the speaker makes?
A．Content of speech is more important than tone of voices. B．Voice quality has a strong effect on listeners. C．Effective speakers must use visual aids.
D．Amplifying devices are essential in large rooms.
正确答案：B
解析：本题测试对全文主要内容的理解和归纳总结能力。在理解全文，特别是第一部分，的基础上可知，该篇演讲主要讲声音以及其三个组成部分如何影响听者的感受，因此可以推测正确答案为B。
13． According to the speaker, what can a speaker do to keep an audience’s attention?
A．Speak very loudly.
B．Ask questions frequently.
C．Vary tone, volume and speed of speech. D．Limit the speech to a short one.
正确答案：C
解析：本题测试对重要内容的理解能力。根据文中的关键信息，如“a good speaker will adjust to the size of both the room and the audience”，“it’s important to vary pitch”，“Pace．．．should also be varied”，可知讲话者建议要变化声音中的几个重要元素以抓住听众的注意力，因此可以推测正确答案为C。
14． According to the speaker, how can a speaker indicate that the topic is about to change?
A．By raising pitch. B．By lowering register. C．By pointing to a chart. D．By pausing.
正确答案：D
解析：本题测试对细节内容的理解能力。根据文中的最后一句话，可以推测正确答案为D。
听力原文： Good morning. As part of your orientation to campus life, the Dean’s Office has scheduled a short tour of the medical clinic and the infirmary. We,
on the nursing staff, hope that none of you get sick. But just in case you do become ill, we want you to know what procedures to follow. If you have a really bad cold, it’s a good idea to have one of us check you over at the clinic. Several students last year didn’t see a nurse about their bad colds, and they developed terrible coughs. It’s possible to get pneumonia when you neglect the cough. If you do get something as serious as pneumonia, you’ll have to come and stay in the infirmary. A doctor visits the infirmary regularly. On the other hand, if you just have an ordinary cold, you can usually stay in your dormitory room. Many students try to keep up with their usual activities when they don’t feel well. As a result, they often get much sicker. I think it’s wise to rest more and skip a few classes. If you are 711, you can always get a medical excuse from one of us or from the doctor. The clinic hours are from nine to twelve every week day morning. But there is an emergency number you can call anytime, which you can find in the campus telephone book. Before we start on our tour of the infirmary, do you have any questions?
15． What is the speaker? A．A nurse. B．A doctor. C．A professor. D．A student.

16． What does the speaker suggest that students who have bad colds do? A．Take plenty of medicine. B．Call up the doctor. C．Come to the clinic. D．Get proper exercise.
正确答案：C
解析：本题测试对细节内容的推测理解能力。根据原文中的相关信息“it’s a good idea to have one of us check you over at the clinic”可知，讲话者建议如果得了重感冒，最好到诊所来检查，因此可以推测正确答案为C。
17． What does the speaker say that people should do to protect their health? A．Join a sports organization. B．Try a new routine occasionally.
C．Keep regular working hours to avoid fatigue. D．Cut down on activities when sick.
正确答案：D
解析：本题测试对隐含信息的推测理解能力。根据原文中的关键信息“it’s wise to rest more and skip a few classes”可知，讲话者建议如果感觉不太好，应该
多休息，少上些课，否则就会“get much sicker”，因此可以推测讲话者建议人们在生病时减少活动，即正确答案为D。
听力原文： Isn’t it amazing how small the world has become in recent years? Of course, the physical size hasn’t changed, but the world seems much smaller than it did a few hundred years ago. That’s because of our improved ability to visit faraway places, contact one another, and instantly learn what goes on in other places. A thousand years ago, people rarely left their town or village. Trips to nearby areas were made on foot or horseback, and there were fears of wild animals, bandits, and bad weather. Trips abroad were almost impossible for all but the richest and most powerful people. Communications were also limited, as it took weeks or even months to send letters long distances. About 150 years ago, train travel made trips hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away possible. Also, with the invention of the telegraph, messages could be sent long distances at a low price. Many barriers of distance and communication were starting to fall. In the 20th century, inventions such as the automobile, airplane, telephone, and television changed people’s lives greatly. People could travel across a city in a few minutes or across the world in a few hours. Televisions allowed people to witness important events while they took place. Computers and the Internet let people send letters instantly, access huge amounts of information, and make new friends around the world. As local communities continue to link together to form the global community, there will surely be many new tools and methods that make the world seem even smaller.
18． Which of the following statements is NOT true about life 150 years ago? A．Travelling long distances were easier than before. B．Messages could be sent quickly.
C．Crossing the ocean could be done safely.

正确答案：B
解析：本题测试对主要内容的理解和概括能力。根据文中的主要内容，可以推测20世纪的许多新发明，如telephone，elevision，computer，Internet等可以使各种信息即时传播；此外也可以用排除法，根据所听材料的内容，A、C、D三项均不正确。两种方法均可得出正确答案B。
20． In the improvement of communication, which is NOT mentioned as one of the most important inventions of the 20th century?
A．The Internet. B．The telephone. C．The television. D．The telegraph.
正确答案：D 解析：本题测试对细节内容的理解能力。根据文中的相关内容，可知telegraph应为150年前的发明，而Internet，television，telephone则属于20世纪的发明，因此正确答案为D。
21． What is the main idea of the passage? A．The world is shrinking physically.
B．The 20th century saw incredible inventions..
C．The way we live and communicate has changed over the centuries. D．The computer revolution has made life more convenient.
正确答案：C 解析：本题测试对全文主要内容的理解和概括能力。根据文中的第二句可直接排除选项A，选项B和D都只是全文的一部分内容。由于原文讲述了不同历史阶段的发明及对人们生活和交流的影响，因此选项C最符合原文大意。

The two African countries, which argue that they have more elephants than their land can sustain, are to use “substantial sums” from the sales for conservation and community development projects. The ivory to be sold comes from the tusks of elephants that have been culled or shot legally by hunters, rather than from the illegal poaching that prompted the ban in 19.

29． 【C1】 A．up B．about C．in
D．forward

30． 【C2】 A．task B．craft C．skill D．style
正确答案：C
解析：考查名词的用法和对篇章的理解。根据上文，acquisition意为“获得，习得”，通常指某种技艺或是某种能力的获得；而根据下文，第一次说话，第一次自己走路，开始读和写，这些都是一个人的skill，所以选择skill。
31． 【C3】 A．with B．beyond C．within D．at
正确答案：B
解析：考查介词的用法和对篇章的理解。at the natural learning rate是指“以自然的学习速度”，beyond是“超出”的意思，within是“在……之内”的意思，with和rate不搭配，可以排除。上文提到，父母热切希望自己的孩子能够获得新的技能，因此，他们往往忍不住要催促孩子学习，超出了孩子的自然学习速度，所以这里应该选择beyond。
32． 【C4】 A．set in B．set up C．set out D．set about
正确答案：B
解析：考查动词短语的意义和用法。set up除作“树立，设立”讲之外，还可表示“引起”，如：Smoking too much usually set up an irritation in the throat．(抽烟太多通常会引起嗓子发炎。)set in意为“开始，到来”，通常指一段令人不快的时期，如：Winter sets in early in the North．(北方冬天来得早。)set out意为“出发，开始”，如：All the people in the neighborhoods set ou
33． 【C5】 A．status B．conditions C．situations D．states
正确答案：D
解析：考查近义词辨析。人的各种心态(mental states)都可用state来表示，这里states of worries指的是“焦虑的心态”；condition指“条件、状况”；situation指“情景”；status指“身份、地位”。
34． 【C6】
A．In short B．As a result C．In the end
D．On the other hand
正确答案：D
解析：考查篇章的分析能力。这个空后面紧接着有一个though，表明此句话与上文之间有一种转折的关系，而这里只有on the other hand有转折的意思。
35． 【C7】 A．left aside B．left alone C．left behind D．left about
正确答案：B
解析：考查动词短语的意义和用法。leave．．．alone意为“放任，不管”，如：Leave me alone，please．(请别管我。)leave．．．aside意为“放在一边，搁置”，常常指在描述一般情况时，把某个细节或事实放在一边，不予考虑，因此下面这个说法很普遍：Let’s leave the matter aside for a moment．(我们先把这件事暂时放一放。)leave．．．behind意为“丢下，把……丢在后面”，如：Before you leave，take care not to
36． 【C8】 A．interest B．willingness C．enthusiasm D．excitement
正确答案：C

37． 【C9】 A．in B．on C．by D．at
正确答案：A
解析：考查动词与介词的搭配和用法。vary通常后面接in，表示“在……方面有所不同”。
38． 【C10】 A．usually B．generally C．occasionally D．especially
正确答案：D
解析：考查副词的意义。usually表示“通常”，指经常发生或出现；generally意为“一般，通常”，强调的是普遍性；occasionally是“偶尔”的意思；而especially指“特别地”，强调与其他事情相比更突出，从下文来看，该词用在这里最合适。
39． 【C11】 A．severe B．serious C．anxious D．worried
正确答案：A
解析：考查形容词的意义和篇章的连贯性。severe意为“严厉的”，与上文的strictness相符，为最佳选项；serious意为“认真的，严肃的”；anxious表示“担忧的，渴望的”，worried表示“焦虑的，担心的”。
40． 【C12】 A．timeliness B．punctuality C．promptness D．readiness
正确答案：B
解析：考查词义辨析和篇章的连贯性。punctuality意为“守时，准时”；timeliness表示“及时，适时”；promptness也有“及时”的意思，强调敏捷和迅速；readiness意为“敏捷、迅速”。这里选择punctuality，指的是吃饭守时，与前面所说的“有些父母对于孩子晚上回家的时间很严格”一致。
41． 【C13】 A．In addition B．In general C．In case
D．In some aspects
正确答案：B
解析：考查固定词组的意义和用法。in addition表示“另外”，表示递进；in general意为“一般，通常”，表示接下来的是一种普遍的情况；incase表示“万
一，如果”，后面常接从句，表示一种假设的情况；in some aspect意为“在某些方面”，表示指的并非是整体，而是其中的一些方面。根据上下文，此处应是概括，所以in general最为合适。
42． 【C14】 A．values B．standards C．interests D．affairs
正确答案：A
解析：考查词义辨析。value意为“价值”；standard意为“标准”，interest表示“利益或兴趣”；affair表示“事务”。在这里，父母对于孩子的控制体现了他们自己的需要和社会的价值观。所以value最为合适。
43． 【C15】 A．As regards to B．Regard as C．In regards D．With regard
正确答案：A
解析：考查固定词组的意义和用法。as regards(to)意为“关于，至于，在……方面”；另外，类似的表达还有in regard to(of)及with regard to，这两个短语后面的介词都不能省略。
44． 【C16】 A．consistency B．insistency C．persistency D．resistance
正确答案：A 解析：考查词形相近词的辨析。consistency表示“(前后)一致，连贯”；insistency表示“强迫，坚决要求”；persistency意为“坚持，固执”；resistance表示“反抗，对抗”。从下文来看，这里consistency为最佳选项。
45． 【C17】 A．Forbid B．To forbid C．Forbidding D．Forbidden
正确答案：B
解析：考查动词的形式和用法。forbid及其所带宾语在句中作主语，其形式或为动词不定式，或为动名词。此外，从结构的平行性来看，forbid和后面的excuse在形态上是一致的，所以选择不定式形式to forbid。
46． 【C18】 A．speak B．preach
C．propagandize D．instruct
正确答案：B
解析：考查近义词辨析。preach指“说教”；propagandize指“宣传”；instruct指“系统而具体的教授”。这里父母对孩子的教导多带有说教的意味，因此选择preach。
47． 【C19】 A．may grow B．must grow C．can grow D．should grow
正确答案：A
解析：考查情态动词的用法。may表示实际上的可能性，can表示理论上的可能性。 must表示“必须”，should表示“应该”。从上下文可以看出，这种可能性是实际上存在的，而不是一种假设而已，因此，may grow是合适的。
48． 【C20】 A．emotionally B．manually C．physically D．foolishly
正确答案：A
解析：考查副词的意义。emotionally指“在情感上”，manually指“手工地”，physically指“在身体上”，而foolishly指“愚蠢地”。这里的最佳选项为emotionally，意思是说：如果父母不诚实，言行不一致，孩子们可能会感到困惑，他们长大以后也会在情感上不稳定，因为他们会意识到在一定程度上他们被愚弄了。

PART V READING COMPREHENSION (25 MIN)Directions: In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.
Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept. We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital. Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher -- and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games. Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many
teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helper”. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best as they can. Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.
79． The author points out at the beginning that______ A．every child in hospital receives some teaching B．not enough is known about hospital teaching C．hospital teaching is of poor quality
D．the special children’s hospitals are worst off
正确答案：B
解析：提示词“at the beginning”提示相关信息在文章起始位置，相关语句为“Proper records are just not kept．”，说明人们对医院内教学状况了解甚少。
80． It can be inferred from the latest survey that______ A．hospital teaching across the country is similar B．each hospital has at least one part-time teacher C．all hospitals surveyed offer education to children
D．only one-fourth of the hospitals have full-time teachers
正确答案：D
解析：根据提示词“the latest survey”可在文章第三段找到相关信息。综合分析可知，全国的医院内教学状况不尽相同：一半的医院承认没有老师，四分之一只有兼职老师，因此可以推理出只有四分之一的医院由专职老师。
81． Children in hospital usually turn to ______ in order to catch up with their school work.
A．hospital teachers B．schoolmates C．parents
D．school teachers
正确答案：B 解析：本题询问细节。相关语句为第六段的“Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work”。
82． We can conclude from the passage that the author is ______ A．unfavourable towards children receiving education in hospitals B．in favour of the present state of teaching in hospitals
C．unsatisfied with the present state of hospital teaching D．satisfied with the results of the latest survey
正确答案：C
解析：本题询问作者对医院内教学状况的态度。全文表明，目前医院内教学状况不尽如人意；有教师的医院的教学质量也不令人满意。
Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer- literate”, in other words, to learn to understand computers and what makes them tick. Not all experts agree, however, that this is a good idea. One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to the people and make them “people-literate”. David first got the idea when he visited one of America’s best-known computer “guru” figures, Bob Albrecht, in the small university town of Palo Alto in Northern California. Albrecht had started a project called Computertown USA in the local library, and the local children used to call round every Wednesday to borrow some time on the computers there, instead of borrowing library books. Albrecht was always on hand to answer any questions and to help the children discover about computers in their own way. Over here, in Britain, Computertowns have taken off in a big way, and there are now about 40 scattered over the country. David Tebbutt thinks they are most successful when tied to a computer club. He insists there is a vast and important difference between the two, although they complement each other. The clubs cater for the enthusiasts, with some computer knowledge already, who get together and eventually form an expert computer group. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers available for them to experiment on, with experts available to encourage them and answer any questions; they are not told what to do, they find out. David Tebbutt finds it interesting to see the two different approaches working side by side. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to explain the answers to the questions that people really want to know. In some Computertowns there are question sessions, rather like radio phone-ins, where the experts listen to a lot of questions and then try to work out some structure to answer them. People are not having to learn computer jargons, but the experts are having to translate computer mysteries into easily understood terms; the computers are becoming “people-literate”.
83． According to David Tebbutt, the purpose of Computertown UK is to______ A．train people to understand how computers work’ B．make more computers available to people
C．enable more people to fix computers themselves D．help people find out more about computers
正确答案：D
解析：本题询问David Tebbutt建立Computertown UK的目的。相关信息为文章的第一、二两段。由第一段可知，不少人认为人们应该学习理解电脑，但不是所有的专家都同意这个观点。DavidTebbutt就是一个例子。他建立Computertown UK的目的恰恰 相反，他主张让电脑学习变得更容易，让人们根据自己的兴趣去学习。
84． We learn from the passage that Computertown USA was a______ A．town B．project C．library D．school
正确答案：B
解析：根据提示词“Computertown USA”可在文章第三段找到相关信息“Albrecht hadstarted a project called Computertown USA in the local library”。因此，Computertown USA是一个实验项目。
85． Which of the following statements is INCORRECT.? A．Computertowns in the UK have become popular. B．Computertowns and clubs cater for different people. C．Computertowns are more successful than clubs.
D．It’s better that Computertowns and clubs work together.
正确答案：C
解析：解答本题的相关信息为文章第四段。意思是说，Computertowns在英国已很普及，但它和computerclubs不同，它们的参加对象不同，它们是互补的，两者结合起来会取得更大的成功。
86． Which of the following is NOT an advantage of Computertowns? A．Experts give lectures and talks on computers. B．Experts are on hand to answer people’s questions. C．People are left to discover computers on their own. D．There are computers around for people to practise on.
正确答案：A 解析：本题询问Computertowns有哪些优点，相关信息主要在文章最后一段，当然也要求读者对全文有个总体了解。A项不是Computertowns的优点；相反，专家们并不作讲座，而是鼓励并帮助个人自己去摸索。
There must be few questions on which responsible opinion is so utterly divided as on that of how much sleep we ought to have. There are some who think we can leave the body to regulate these matters for itself. “The answer is easy,” says Dr.
A. Burton. “With the right amount of sleep you should wake up fresh and alert five minutes before the alarm rings.” If he is right, many people must be undersleeping, including myself. But we must remember that some people have a greater inertia than others. This is not meant rudely. They switch on slowly, and they are reluctant to switch off. They are alert at bedtime and sleepy when it is time to get up, and this may have nothing to do with how fatigued their bodies are, or how much sleep they must take to lose their fatigue. Other people feel sure that the present trend is towards too little sleep. According to one medical opinion, thousands of people drift through life suffering from the effects of too little sleep; the reason is not that they can’t sleep. Like advancing colonists, we do seem to be grasping ever more of the land of sleep for our waking needs, pushing the boundary back and reaching, apparently, for a point in our evolution where we will sleep no more. This in itself, of course, need not be a bad thing. What could be disastrous, however, is that we should press too quickly towards this goal, sacrificing sleep only to gain more time in which to jeopardize our civilization by actions and decisions made weak by fatigue. Then, to complete the picture, there are those who believe that most people are persuaded to sleep too much. Dr H. Roberts, writing in Every Man in Health, asserts. “It may safely be stated that, just as the majority eat too much, so the majority sleep too much.” One can see the point of this also. It would be a pity to retard our development by holding back those people who are gifted enough to work and play well with less than the average amount of sleep, if indeed it does them no harm. If one of the trends of evolution is that more of the life span is to be spent in gainful waking activity, then surely these people are in the van of this advance.
87． The author seems to indicate that______
A．there are many controversial issues like the right amount of sleep B．among many issues the right amount of sleep is the least controversial C．people are now moving towards solving many controversial issues D．the right amount of sleep is a topic of much controversy among doctors
正确答案：D
解析：本题考察读者对文章首句的理解。这句话的大意是：适当的睡眠时间究竟是多少，人们对此各持己见；其他话题很少会引起如此大的意见分歧。因此，四个选项比较，只有D项与文意相符。
88． The author disagrees with Dr. Burton because______ A．few people can wake up feeling fresh and alert B．some people still feel tired with enough sleep C．some people still feel sleepy with enough sleep D．some people go to bed very late at night
正确答案：C
解析：本题的相关信息为文章的第一段。Dr．Burton的观点是：人的身体会
自我调节。衡 量睡眠时间是否适当的标准就是醒来时是否精力充沛并能在闹钟响起前5分钟自己醒来。作者紧接着用由 if 引导的条件句侧面否认了Dr．Burton的观点。这句话隐含的意思就是：大多数人醒来时还是有睡意的，难道说他们都睡眠不足吗?因此，只有C项正确理解了这句话的内在含义。
． In the last paragraph the author points out that______ A．sleeping less is good for human development
B．people ought to be persuaded to sleep less than before C．it is incorrect to say that people sleep too little D．those who can sleep less should be encouraged
正确答案：D
解析：本题的相关信息在文章的最后一段，是有关“睡眠少”的问题。文中指出，有些人需要的睡眠时间少于平均值，而这对他们无害。这样的人应该遵循自己的需要，按照自己的习惯生活。
90． We learn from the passage that the author______ A．comments on three different opinions B．favours one of the three opinions C．explains an opinion of his own D．revises someone else’s opinion
正确答案：A
解析：本题询问全文的主要内容。通读全文后可知，作者在此列举了关于睡眠的三种看法，并一一作了评述，并对后两种观点持有赞同的态度。因此，只有A项全面准确地概括了全文的主要内容。
Last year was the fourth warmest since recordkeeping began in the 1880s and 2005 could go down as the warmest ever recorded, NASA scientists reported in a new analysis of temperature data. “There has been a strong warning trend over the past 30 years, a trend that has been show, to be due primarily to increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,” said James Hansen of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, based in New York. The most common greenhouse gas emitted by human activity is carbon dioxide. The burning of fossil fuels and trees, both Of which store carbon, have added CO2 emissions to Earth’s natural levels. Hansen and NASA colleague Makiko Sato noted that two additional factors are expected to play in- to 2005 temperatures. One is the presence of El Nino, when warm water spreads over much of the tropical Pacific Ocean. The other, they said, is that the Earth’s surface now absorbs more of the sun’s energy than gets reflected back to space. “The Earth is now out of energy balance,” Hansen and Sato wrote. “One result of this imbalance is that it makes it likely that global temperature in 2005, aided also by a weak El Nino, will exceed those of 21lB and 2(104 and perhaps even the temperature of 1998, which had stood out far above the temperature of any year in the preceding century.” Last
year was the fourth-warmest on record, with a global mean temperature of 57 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s about 1.5 degrees warmer than the middle of the century, said NASA scientist Drew Shindell. A third of the sun’s energy is reflected back into space after hitting Earth’s upper atmosphere, but two thirds gets through, driving Earth’s weather engine. A delicate balance of gases gives Earth its livable temperature. Known as “greenhouse” gases because they trap heat inside the atmosphere, they send a portion of that heat back to Earth’s surface. The gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. Covering two thirds of Earth, oceans are the key source of moisture in the air and they store heat efficiently, transporting it thousands of miles. The oceans and marine life also consume huge amounts of carbon dioxide.
91． Which of the following is NOT the cause mentioned in the passage that leads to the warm tem- perature in 2005?
A．the increasing greenhouse gases B．the presence of El Nino
C．the imbalance of the earth’s energy
D．the Earth’s increasing absorption of the Sun’s energy.
正确答案：C
解析：细节题。作者在文章中提到了三个影响2005年气候并可能导致2005成为有史以来最热年份的因素，它们分别是第二段的“…，a trend that has been shown to be due primarily to increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere，”和第三段的“two additional factors are expected to play...One is the presence of E1 Nino...The other，...
92． According to the passage, which year is the warmest so far? A．2004 B．2002 C．1998 D．2003
正确答案：C 解析：推理题。文章第三段最后一句话：”…will exceed those of 2003 and 2004 and perhaps even the temperature of l998，which had stood out far above the temperature of any year in the preceding century．“(… 2005年全球的气温会超过2003年和2004年，甚至有可能超过1998年，而这一年是上个世纪气温最高的年份。)充分说明了1998年是目前为止最热的年
93． According to the passage, Greenhouse gases do NOT include _______. A．carbon dioxide B．methane C．nitrous oxide D．fossil fuels
正确答案：D 解析：细节题。文章在最后一段提到The gases包括：Water vapor(水汽)，carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)， methane and nitrous oxide(甲烷和一氧化二氮)，唯独没有提到fossil fuels(矿物燃料)，所以D是正确选项。
94． When did the weather recordkeeping begin? A．In 1990s. B．In 1880s. C．In 1994. D．In 2002.
正确答案：B 解析：细节题。文章第一段就明确说明”Last year was the fourth warmest since recordkeeping began in the 1880s...“，所以1880s(B)年是正确答案。
95． We can learn from the passage that _______. A．El Nino is the most destructive natural disaster.
B．NASA scientists are optimistic about the weather in 2005.
C．The energy imbalance of the earth will result in the warm temperature in 2005.
D．Oceans help store heat more efficiently than other things.
正确答案：C 解析：推理题。文章第三段提到：“The Earth is now out of energy balance，”…“One result of this imbalance is that it makes it likely that global temperature in 2005，aided also by a weak E1 Nino，will exceed those of 2003 and 2004 and perhaps even the temperature of 1998，which h
It is usual to classify types of production as job production, batch production and flow production. In job production, products are supplied to the special requirements of a customer, and the whole project is undertaken as one operation which is completed before passing on to the next. A good example of this kind of work is shipbuilding. In job production a single item is produced at a time, whereas in batch production a number of similar items are produced in order to meet a continuing sales demand. Batch sizes vary, but the quantity which is produced amounts to more than immediate requirements, and the surplus production is stored. Finally, in flow production, the manufacture of a product proceeds from one operation to another at a planned rate of output. It is argued that the type of production method which is employed depends on the development of an individual company. That is to say, many factories begin manufacturing on a job production basis and proceed, as the volume of production increases, to batch and flow production methods. This is not always the case, however, since the type of production is not necessarily
determined by the product volume which is aimed at. In fact, in the car industry, tools are produced by jobbing methods, components are produced by batch methods, and the final products are assembled by flow methods. Flow production is associated with flow layouts, whereas job and batch production are associated with process layouts. In a process layout, machines of a similar type are grouped together in the same section of the factory, and work in progress is moved from one part of the factory to another. In a flow layout scheme, the manufacturing equipment is arranged in the same sequence as the operations performed on the product. Each of these operations must be capable of processing work at the rate required for assembly of the final product, and the output for each operation must be balanced in order to provide a smooth flow of work. There are advantages in both types of layout. In a process layout system there is more flexibility, and a greater specialization of machines and labor is possible, while in a flow layout system it is not necessary to maintain a high level of stocks or to demand great skill in the workforce.
96． The production method is not dependent on the size of a company because different products can be______
A．displayed at different locations
B．produced by different production methods C．designed by different specialists D．sold at different markets
正确答案：B
解析：题属于推理题，与其相关的段落为第二段。第二段讲到生产方式并不是由公司或厂家的规模决定的，至于原因何在，本段没有直接指出。但是，由“in fact”引出的汽车工业的例子说明，生产方式是由产品的种类决定的。这个例子间接讲述了本段前几句定论的原因。
97． According to the passage, one advantage of flow production is______ A．more flexibility
B．a high level of stocks needed C．particular machinery

正确答案： Should Students Be Permitted to Carry Mobile Phones? Nowadays more and more students carry mobile phones. Those who are in favor of the idea argue that they can communicate with their friends more easily. Life without a mobile would be unthinkable for most of them. However I don’t think schools, including primary schools, should permit students to carry mobile phones. First of all, the evidence at present suggests that there is no adverse effect of mobile phones on the general population. But if there was a susceptible group, it would be most likely to be children, because their skulls are not fully thickened and their nervous system has not fully developed. Second, most of the students spend most of their spare time chatting on the mobile phones. They even chat when they axe crossing the street. This is proved to be highly dangerous. What’s more, long chatting on the phone does harm to their brain, and increase theft blood pressure. Last, some of the students always forget to keep their mobile phones silent in class. When their phone rings, it disturbs the teacher, as well as other students. What’s more, some of the students always send text messages with mobile phones in class, and of course these students couldn’t concentrate on their lessons. So it’s hard for them to make progress in theft study. In a word, schools should not permit students to carry mobile phones.
