第1题：

A．schoolwork B．exercise C．teamwork D．research

【正确答案】：A 【参考解析】：

计算机已被应用到学校中。我们知道多媒体可以使功课变得轻松有趣。孩子们通过专业设计的软件学习时会快乐地通过动画人物中学到知识。当有了计算机辅助的教学后谁还需要老师呢?要在教室里用这些昂贵的玩意儿可不容易，需要对教师进行广泛的培训。确实，孩子们很喜欢视频游戏——但想想你自己的经历吧：你能记起多年前看过的教学幻灯片吗?哪怕只有一部也好。但是我敢肯定你记得两、三个对你的生活有重大影响的好老师。

还有网上贸易，我们可以进行即时的目录购物，即使购买大量货物也只要点点鼠标即可。我们可以从网上订购机票，在饭店订座位，或协商买卖合同。百货商店就要过时了。那为什么我们当地的商场一个下午作的生意比整个网络一个月的生意还多呢?因为即使有可靠的网上付款的方式，网络还是缺少一种商业贸易的最基本的组成部分：销售人员。

这个神奇的电子世界缺少了什么呢?是人和人的接触。计算机和网络把我们孤立起来。网上聊天是不能和朋友一起喝咖啡聊天的拙劣替代品。没有什么交互式的多媒体放映的节目能给你带来在现场听音乐会的兴奋。在这个虚拟现实中还有很多不如意之处，而且打着教育和进步的神圣旗号，人和人交流的重要性也被无情地贬低了。 答案及解析

A【解析】schoolwork“功课，课堂作业”，一般泛指学校里的功课作业；exercise“练习”；teamwork“团队合作”；research“研究”。从上下文我们可以推断这里泛指学校里的一切作业功课。exercise 过于具体，teamwork和research意思上不符。

【正确答案】：B 【参考解析】：

Choose the best word(s). 根据下列文章,请回答 21～25 题。

Text 1

A finding in recent years shows that men cannot manufacture blood as efficiently as women can. This makes surgery riskier for men. Because they do not breathe as often as women, men also need more oxygen. But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk. They draw more of the air when it is polluted.

Men's bones are larger than women's and they are arranged somewhat differently. The feminine walk that evokes so many whistles is a matter of bone structure. A man has broader shoulders and a narrower pelvis, which makes him stride out with no waste motion. A woman's wider pelvis,designed for childbearing, forces her to put more movement into each step she takes with the result that she displays a bit of jiggle and sway as she walks.

If you think a man is brave because he can climb a ladder to clean out the roof gutters, don't forget it is easier for him than for a woman. The angle at which a woman's thigh is joined to her knees makes climbing difficult for her, no matter whether it is a ladder or stairs or a mountain that she is tackling. A man's skin is thicker than a woman's and not nearly as soft. This prevents the sun's radiation from getting through, which is why men wrinkle less than women do. Women have a thin layer of fat just under the skin and there is a plus to this greater fat reserve. It acts as an invisible fur coat to keep a woman warmer in the winter. Women also stay cooler in summer. Because the fat layer helps insulate them against heat. Men's fat is distributed differently. And they do not have that layer of it underneath their skin. In fact, they have considerably less fat than women and more lean mass.41 percent of a man's body is muscle compared to thirty-five percent for women,which means that men have more muscle power. When we mention strength, almost 90 percent of a man's weight is strength compared to about 50 percent of a woman's weight.

The higher proportion of muscle to fat makes it easier for men to lose weight. Muscle burns up five

more calories a pound than fat does just to maintain itself. So when a man wants to loss weight, the pounds roll off much faster. For all men's muscularity they do not have the energy reserves women do. They have more start-up energy ,but the fat tucked away in women's nooks and crannies provides a rich energy reserve that men lack.

Cardiologists at the University of Alabama who tested healthy women on treadmills discovered that over the years the female capacity for exercise far exceeds the male capacity. A woman of sixty who is in good health can exercise up to 90 percent of what she could do when she was twenty. A man of sixty has only 60 percent left of his capacity as a twenty-year-old.

第21题：That boys suffer more from air pollution can possibly be justified by the fact that

A．the male have larger bones than the female.

B．women can manufacture blood more efficiently than men. C．men usually breathe more deeply than women. D．women breathe as often as men.

【正确答案】：C 【参考解析】：

近年来的一项发现表明男人造血的能力不如女人强。这使得外科手术对男人来说风险更大。另外由于他们呼吸的频率没有女性高，男人需要更多氧气。但男人的呼吸更深，这样他们又多了一样危险。空气被污染时他们会吸入更多的空气。

男人的骨骼比女人的大而且构造也不同。女人走路会招来很多口哨声是由于骨骼结构的原因。男人肩膀宽髋骨窄，这使他可以大步前进而没有多余的动作。女人的骨盆更宽是为了孕育后代，这迫使她每走一步都得做更大的动作，结果走路时就显得有点摇摇摆摆。

如果你觉得男人勇敢，因为他能爬上梯子清洁排水檐沟，那么不要忘了这活对男人来说比对女人要容易些。女人的大腿和膝盖相接的角度使得攀登对她来说很困难，不论是爬梯子，爬楼梯还是爬山。 男人的皮肤比女人的厚而且不如女人的皮肤柔软，这有效地阻止了阳光辐射穿过，这就是男人不像女人那样容易起皱纹的原因。女人有一层薄薄的皮下脂肪，比男人多的这一点脂肪贮存有它的用处。它无形中起着毛皮大衣的作用，使女人在冬天里感觉更加温暖。女人在夏天里也更凉爽。因为这层脂肪有助于隔绝热量。男人的脂肪分布不均匀。而且他们没有那层皮下脂肪。事实上，他们的脂肪比女人少得多，但肌肉比女人多。男人身体的41%是肌肉，相比之下女人只有35%的肌肉，这意味着男人有更大的力量。说到力量，几乎男人的体重的90%都有力量，而女人相应的比例是大约50%。

肌肉比脂肪的比例大使男人更容易减肥。为了维持自身能量，一磅肌肉比一磅脂肪多燃烧5个卡路里。所以当男人想要减肥时，他的体重下降得更快。尽管男人肌肉发达，他们缺少女人拥有的能量储备。他们的爆发力强，但是女人身体各处贮藏的脂肪可以提供丰富的能量储备，这是男人所不具备的。 阿拉巴马大学的心脏病学家对从事繁重工作的健康妇女做了测试后发现随着时间流逝女性身体运动的能力远远优于男性。一个健康的60岁的妇女可以做的身体运动能达到她20岁时的90%，而一个60岁的男人的运动能力只是他20岁时的60%。

答案及解析

【解析】从文章第一段最后两句But men breathe more deeply and this exposes them to another risk．They draw more of the air when it is polluted.

第22题：The different ways men and women move their body indicate that

A．bone structures in men and women are arranged differently. B．women's bones are more ready to movement. C．men always move their bodies with waste motions. D．women are good at climbing upwards.

【正确答案】：A 【参考解析】：

【解析】文章第二段开头：Men’s bones are larger than women’s and they are arranged somewhat differently．然后下面列举了男人和女人各自移动身体的不同，归根到底是因为他们骨骼构造的不同。

C．the higher proportion of fat in women's body makes them easier to lose weight. D．an aged man can still exercise his body as he was young.

【正确答案】：B 【参考解析】：

【解析】从文章可得出结论：选项A：男人受阳光辐射的损害比女人更多。这显然是错的，恰恰相反。选项B：长途旅行后男人比女人更容易疲劳，因为男人的肌肉占的比例大。选项C：女人身体里的脂肪比例高，所以女人减肥更容易，这显然是错的。选项D：男人老了以后还可以像年轻时一样运动，这显然不正确，最后一段说男人只能做年轻时运动量的60%，而女人能做90%。

第24题：The best title for the above article is

A．Why Men Lack Capacity for Exercise over the Years. B．How Men's Bones Are Arranged Differently from Women' s. C．Studies on Differences and Similarities between Men and Women. D．Men and Women: Some Differences.

【正确答案】：D 【参考解析】：

【解析】由文章的内容来看，答案只能在选项C和选项D中选，选项C是对男人和女人的相同和不同的研究。文章只说了不同，没提相同，所以D项是最合适。

Text 2

More than 30,000 drivers and passengers who sit in the front of the vehicles are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor building. Wearing a seat belt saves lives:it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than a half. Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you will be fined up to ￡50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver's responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.

However, when you're reversing your car, you do not have to wear a seat belt;or when you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle ; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember that you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove that you have been excused from wearing it.

第26题：How many people in the front of the vehicles are killed or seriously injured every year?

A．30,000. B．60,000.

C．Approximately 30,000. D．Above 30,000.

【正确答案】：D 【参考解析】：

每年都有3万多名司机或坐在前排的乘客丧命或受重伤。在时速只有30英里时也相当于从一幢3层楼的建筑物上跌下。系安全带可以挽救生命：它可使丧生或受重伤的机率减少大半。

所以大多数交通工具中的司机和超过l4岁的前排乘客必须系安全带。如果你不系，你会被处以最高50英镑的罚款。司机没有确保你系安全带的责任。但是司机有责任确保14岁以下的儿童在车辆前排就座时系上安全带之类的东西。

但当你倒车时，或者开特殊车辆，如在当地送货或做收集工作时，或者你有无须系安全带的有效医疗证明时，你无须系安全带。在决定不系安全带前要确定这些情况适用于你。记住你可能会因不系安全带而被送上法庭，并且如果你不能证明自己有不系安全带的理由你就会被罚款。 答案及解析

【解析】more than=above“多于”；approximately=about“大约”。

第27题：Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle

A．reduces road accidents to more than a half.

B．saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hour. C．reduces the death rate in traffic accidents. D．saves more than 15,000 lives each year.

【正确答案】：C 【参考解析】：

【解析】在车上戴安全带：reduce your chance of death or serious injury by more than a half戴安全带可以减少50%的死亡率或重伤几率。选项A：不是公路事故而是死亡率或重伤几率。选项B：以30公里/d,时开车时能挽救人的生命。与文章不符，本文是说30公里/小时以上必须戴安全带。选项D：每年挽救15，0130人的生命。

第28题：It is the driver\\'s responsibility to

A．make the front seat passengers wear a seat belt. B．make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat belt. C．stop children riding in the front seat. D．wear a seat belt each time he drives.

【正确答案】：B 【参考解析】：

【解析】从第二段最后一句话可知：But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under l4 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind。

第29题：According to the text, which of the following people riding in the front does NOT have to wear a seat belt?

A．Someone who is backing into a parking space.

B．Someone who is picking up the children from the local school. C．Someone who is delivering invitation letters. D．Someone who is under 14.

【正确答案】：A 【参考解析】：

【解析】第三段第一句话reversing your Car=backing into a parking space倒车。

第30题：For some people, it may be better

A．to wear a seat belt for health reasons. B．not to wear a seat belt for health reasons.

C．to get a valid medical certificate before wearing a seat belt. D．to pay a fine rather than wear a seat belt.

【正确答案】：B 【参考解析】：

The first navigational lights in the New World were probably lanterns hung at harbor entrances. The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor. Paid for and maintained by \征收) on ships, the original beacon was blown up in 1776. Until then there were only a dozen or so true lighthouses in the colonies. Little over a century later, there were 700 lighthouses.

The first eight lanterns erected on the West Coast in the 1850's featured the same basic New England design:a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England and elsewhere, though, lighthouses reflected a variety of architectural styles. Since most

stations in the Northeast were set up on rocky eminences (高处), enormous towers were not the rule. Some of them were made of stone and brick, others of wood or metal. Some of them stood on pilings or stilts; others were fastened to rock with iron rods. Farther south, from Maryland through the Florida Keys, the coast was low and sandy. It was often necessary to build tall towers there -- massive structures like the majestic lighthouse in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina,which was lit in 1870. 190 feet high, it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.

Notwithstanding differences in construction appearence, most lighthouses in America shared several features: a light, living quarters, and sometimes a bell (or later a foghorn). They also had quarters, and something else in common: a keeper and usually the keeper's family. The keeper's essential task was trimming the lantern wick (灯芯) in order to maintain a steady, bright flame. The earliest keepers came from every industry -- they were seamen, farmers, mechanics, rough mill hands -- and appointments were often handed out by local customs commissioners as political plums. After the administration of lighthouse was taken over in 1852 by the United States Light house Board, and agency of the Treasury Department, the keeper corps gradually became highly professional.

第31题：Which is the best title for the passage?

A．The Lighthouse on Little Brewster Island. B．The Life of a Lighthouse Keeper. C．Early Lighthouses in the United States. D．The Modern Profession of Lighthouse-keeping.

【正确答案】：C 【参考解析】：

新世界最初为航行照明的灯光大概来自挂在港口入口处的灯笼。第一座灯塔是马萨诸塞海湾殖民地于1716年建立的，位于波士顿港口入口处的小布鲁斯特岛上。最初的灯塔通过从过往船只征收的“灯塔费”支付其服务和维护费用，它于l776年被炸毁。到那时为止在这些殖民地只有大约十几座真正的灯塔。仅仅一个世纪以后，就有了700座灯塔。

19世纪50年代竖立在西海岸的最早的8个灯笼是以新英格兰的基本设计样式为特色的：高塔被建立在科德角半岛的中心或紧靠中心的位置。而在新英格兰和其他地区，灯塔设计却反映出各种各样的建筑风格。因为东北部大多数灯塔站都建在不平稳的高处，巨大的塔身可不符合这个规则。有的用石块和砖瓦建造，也有的用木头或金属建造。有的立在堆积物上或用桩子支撑；有的用铁棍固定在岩石上。再往南，从马里兰到佛罗里达群岛，海岸低矮而且被沙子覆盖。这里通常需要建高塔，就像于1870年点燃的处于北卡罗林纳州哈特勒斯角灯塔一样有巨大的塔身结构。此塔高190英尺，是这个国家最高的用砖建成的灯塔。

尽管建筑外观不同，大多数美国灯塔有几个共同特征：都有一盏灯。居住区，有的还有铃铛(或者晚些时候出现的雾角)。它们还都有营房和另一个共同的东西：负责看管灯塔的人，通常还有他的家人。他的基本任务是修剪灯芯以保证有稳定明亮的灯火。最早的看护人来自各个行业，有海员、农民、技师或粗野的工人，而且这个职位是作为行政工作由海关长官来分派的。1852年美国灯塔委员会和财政部办事处接手负责灯塔的管理后，看护人的队伍就逐渐变得高度专业化了。 答案及解析

【解析】选项A：小布鲁斯特岛的灯塔。这只是第一个灯塔建立的地方。选项B和D：灯塔看守人全文只在最后提到了。

第32题：Why does the author mention the Massachusetts Bay Colony?

A．It was the headquarters of the United States Lighthouse Board. B．Many of the tallest lighthouses were built there. C．The first lantern wicks were developed there. D．The first lighthouse in North America was built there.

【正确答案】：D 【参考解析】：

【解析】第一段第二句：The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in l716 0n Little Brewster island at the entrance to Boston Harbor。

第33题：It can be inferred from the passage that lighthouses in the Northeast did NOT need high towers because

A．ships there had high masts. B．coastal waters were safe.

C．the coast was straight and unobstructed. D．the lighthouses were built on high places.

【正确答案】：D 【参考解析】：

【解析】第二段第三句：eminences=high places。

第34题：According to the passage, where can the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States be found?

A．Little Brewster Island. B．The Florida Keys. C．Cape Hatteras. D．Cape Cod.

【正确答案】：C 【参考解析】：

【解析】第二段最后一句：It was often necessary to build tall towers there．．．the tallest brick lighthouse in the country。

第35题：It can be inferred from the passage that the Treasury

Department, after assuming control of the lighthouse, improved which of the following?

A．The training of the lighthouse keepers. B．The sturdiness of the lighthouses. C．The visibility of the lights. D．The locations of the lighthouses.

【正确答案】：A 【参考解析】：

【解析】从全文最后两个词highly professional“高度专业化”，可推测是提高了灯塔看守人的训练。
