[解析] It is commonly held that drinking (S1) moderate amounts of alcohol can reduce the (S2) odds of having a deadly heart attack. More (S3) noteworthy benefits to the heart have occurred when people had three to seven drinks per day, but doctors advise against that because heavy drinking is associated with a host of problems, from liver damage to (S4) impaired fertility. Dr. Pekka Karhunen, of the University of Tampere in Finland, said (S5) previous reports that one or two alcoholic drinks per day could help fend off heart disease appeared to have been (S6) "overestimated". Of his study, released at the American Heart Association's (S7) annual meeting, Karhunen said in an interview that "there is no danger in one or two drinks per day, but the benefit is quite low." The heart association advises that (S8) alcohol, if consumed at all,should be limited to one drink per day for women and two per day for men. The drinks include beer, wine or liquor. Karhunen and his colleagues performed autopsies on 700 Finnish men between the ages of 33 and 70. The researchers interviewed family members (S9) about the deceased men's drinking habits and then studied alcohol's effect on their blood vessels. The scientists found that having fewer than three drinks per day did not reduce the progress of coronary artery disease, and (S10) only "slightly" minimized the chance of having a fatal heart attack. But the more people drank, the less likely they were to have suffered a fatal heart attack.
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 created the IRA (Individual Retirement Account个人退休账户). Under this investment vehicle, you get no deduction for your contributions, but all money- principal and earnings—not only will be tax-free, but will not be subject to the 10% penalty on early withdrawals (提款). Qualified distributions are those made after five years from the date you first contributed to an IRA and that meets any of the following specifications: you must be at least 59.5 years old, the holder suffers death or disability, or the distribution is for first-time home buyer expenses of up to $10,000. Distribution for educational expenses also may be penalty free, subject to ordinary income taxes on the accumulated earnings. While the tax delay and/or tax exclusion of these plans makes them excellent vehicles for retirement savings, one additional caution should be mentioned. With the deferral (延期,递延) plans, all income is treated as ordinary income, subject to tax at your highest marginal rate-currently 39.6%. Alternatively, under the new law, capital gains may be capped (制定上限) at an 18% rate and may be taxed as low as 8% in the future. If your retirement investments are appreciating (增值涨价) capital assets and if you do not have a long wait until retirement, the advantage of deferral may be outweighed by the loss of capital gain treatment on your gains. These reduced capital gains rates create a new standard by which alternative savings options should be measured. To maximize your after-tax wealth you must weigh the advantage of an immediate tax deduction and gain deferral against reduced capital gain taxation on sales out of the IRA account. To complicate the decision-making further, you also must consider the advantage of and disadvantage of the new IRA, which does not give up concerning deduction, but allows all gains to come to you tax-free. The longer the holding period you expect and the higher the yield you project, the more advantageous the IRA becomes. If your holding period is expected to be just over 18 months and you project high returns, a direct non-IRA investment may leave you with the best after-tax returns because of the new capital gains rules. If you are in a high bracket (收入额等级) now and expect to be in a lower bracket when you retire, the traditional IRA may be your best bet.

事实细节题。根据第一段内容,个人退休账户里所有的存款,包括本金和收益都免税,而且提前提款时不用交纳10%的罚金,所以选项A和B符合;退休金的分发必须要在自缴纳第一笔款项过后五年才能开始,还要符合任一项下述条件:年龄在59.5岁以上……所以选项D符合,而选项C错在“buy another house”,文中所说必须是first-time home buyer。
3. If the retirement investments of a 56-year-old man are capital assets rising in value, _________ , according to the second paragraph.
A.he would not benefit much due to the capital gain treatment on his gains
B.he would benefit a lot from the excellent vehicles for retirement savings
C.he would still gain a lot after having paid the income tax on his gains
主旨大意题。选项A和选项C只是文章内容的一个片断,而选项B用best vehicles for retirement savings来指称IRA不够全面,只有D符合文章大意,即对美国的个人退休账户制度的大致介绍。
Passage Two The rise of "temp" work has further magnified the decreasing rights and alienation of the worker. It is common corporate practice to phase out full time employees and hire temporary workers to take on more workload in less time. When facing a pressing deadline, a corporation may pay $15 to $20 per hour for a temp worker, but the temp worker will only see $7 or $8 of that money. The rest goes to the temp agency, which is usually a corporate chain, such as Kelly Services, that blatantly (明显地) makes its profits out of other people's labor. This increases profits of the corporations because they can increase a workload, get rid of the employee when they're finished, and not worry about paying benefits or unemployment for that employee. "I have had to work with temps, a few times in my current position, and the workers only want one thing—a full time job with benefits. We really wanted to hire one temp I was working with, but we could not offer her a full time job because it would have been a breach (打破突破) in our contract with the temp agency that employed her," said an operation manager. To hire a temp full time, a corporation would have had to pay the agency over a thousand dollars. Through this practice and policy, the temp agency locks its temporary workers into a horrible new form of servitude (奴隶状态) from which the worker cannot break free. Furthermore, corporate powers push workers to take on bigger workloads, work longer hours, and accept less benefit by instilling a paranoia (妄想狂,多疑狂) in their workforce. The capitalist bosses assume dishonesty, disloyalty, and laziness amongst workers, and they breed a sense of guilt and fear through their assumptions. Where guilt doesn't seep in, bitterness, anger, and depression take over. The highest priorities of Big Business are to increase profits and limit liabilities. Personal relations and human needs are last on their list of priorities. So what we see is a huge mass of people who are alienated, disempowered, overworked, mentally and physically ill and who spend the vast majority of their time and energy on their basic survival. They are denied any chance to really "live", because they are forced to make profits for the capitalists in power.
1. The word "magnified" in the first paragraph can be replaced by" _________ ".
A.expanded
B.made worse
C.enlarged
D.degenerate
A B C D
B
词义理解题。expand意为“扩张,扩大”;enlarge是“扩大,放大”;degenerate是“衰退,退化”,而根据全文的大意再结合搭配该词的宾语“the decreasing rights and alienation of the worker”可推断与选项B同义,意为“使……情况更糟”。

Passage Three Only a year ago, the suit and tie seemed headed for extinction—along with other old-economy anomalies (异常之人或物) like profits, proven products and payment in cash. In the new economy, workers would wear whatever clothing best got their creative juices flowing, without unduly restricting freedom of movement while playing table football and engaging in other activities de rigueur (社交礼仪上需要的) in the modern cutting-edge working environment. This sartorial (服装的,裁缝的) revolution started, inevitably, in Silicon Valley, but by last spring it had stormed even the most sober and traditional banks, consultancies and law firms of Manhattan and the City of London. One by one, they all went "business casual". Now, it turns out, the vision of an open-neck future was but a mirage (幻象,海市蜃楼). Suits are back. According to the Doneger Group, a "style consultancy", sales of suits and dress shirts bottomed in the third quarter of last year, and have since rebounded sharply. The evidence is clearest in New York, where many a suit has been rescued from the wardrobe, with chinos (丝光斜纹卡其布裤) and polo-shirts (马球衫) relegated to the weekends. Only workers who never come face to face with customers or senior managers can still fearlessly wear jeans and T-shirts. Even America's congenitally (天生地) casual west coast is going conservative. The new vogue (时尚) is "dressy casual". At a minimum, The Economist has found, shirts are once more being tucked (卷起,挤进) into trousers. New-economy trendsetters such as Bill Gates, Michael Dell and Larry Ellison have all been seen looking dapper (风度翩翩,外表整洁利落的). When Steve Case, boss of AOL, wore a tie at the announcement of his firm's purchase of Time Warner a year ago, it was interpreted as a gesture to reassure Time workers. With hindsight (事后的认识), it seems Mr. Case simply had a feel for fashion. George Bush, sure-footed in his first weeks in the White House, has banned jeans from the Oval Office and wears a suit almost everywhere except on the ranch. The time has surely come to replace the old "hemline (衣裙的底边) theory" of economic cycles with a new theory of suits. Back in the 1920s, George Taylor, an economist at the University of Pennsylvania, argued that hemlines on women's skirts were a useful indicator of economic activity. They moved higher in good times, because women could afford to wear, and show off, expensive silk stockings. In hard times, they moved lower, as modesty required that less expensively clad (穿着的) legs be covered. Sure enough, skirts were short in the roaring twenties, and long in the Great Depression. Now that women have more to think about than their stockings, the wearing of suits may be a more reliable guide to economic trends. In any case, many female executives have abandoned hemlines altogether in favor of trousers. The suit is the perfect attire (服装) for hard economic times. It speaks of seriousness of purpose and self-discipline. It speaks of dullness, too, which is a welcome contrast with the anarchic (无法无天的,无政府主义的) creativity of the dotcoms. A suit saves time, because it requires no thought and still looks all right a crucial competitive advantage in the labor market that men long enjoyed over women. How foolish it was to throw that away. Above all, the backlash (强烈反应) against suits revealed a labor market so tight that workers had all the cards. Bosses hated seeing their staff slouch (懒散) contemptuously in torn jeans and jumpers, but had to put up with it. Now, jobs are harder to come by, and involve more work and less play. The suit is back. Everywhere except The Economist, of course. Here, freedom of movement is religion.
1. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about what was happening "a year ago"?
A.Sales of suits and dress shirts rebounded sharply.
B.People preferred to pay by check or credit cards.
C.A far-reaching sartorial revolution started in America.
D.The vogue was "business casual".
A B C D
A
事实细节题。根据文章第一句“Only a year ago,the stat and tie seemed headed for extinction—along with…payment in cash.”即可判断出B正确;再结合第二段第二句可知,套装和领带的销售情况在去年第三个季度陷入低谷,此后迅速回升,而文中没有讨论去年dress的销售情况,故可断定A错误;又由第一段最后一句判断C和D正确。
2. Why did the author mention the fact that shirts are once more being tucked into trousers?
A.To show that people do so to follow the new vogue of "casual dressing".
B.To point out a typical phenomenon in America's congenitally casual west coast.
C.To indicate the fact that people try to dress in a less casual way.
D.To prove suits and ties are not popular among people there.
A B C D
C
细节推理题。该细节出自文章第三段,由该段的第一句(即其主题句)可知,作者这一段意在阐述“就连生来就喜好随意着装的西海岸人也开始变得保守起来”。随后的“The new vogue is ‘dressy casual’”以及之后好几位社会名流着装的例子也正好照应该段的主题句,由此选C。选项A有干扰性,“casual dressing”并非文中的“dressy(衣着考究的;时髦的)casual”。
3. Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the new theory of suits?
A.The suit is the prefect clothing for hard economic times.
B.A suit saves time in that it requires no thought and still looks all right.
C.It stands for seriousness of purpose and self-discipline.
D.It echoes with the welcome creativity of the dotcoms.
判断推理题。文章中两次提到The Economist:第三段第三句“At a minimum,The Economist has found.shirts are once more being tucked(卷起,挤进)into trousers.”和篇末最后一句“Everywhere except The Economist, Of course.Here,freedom of movement is religion.”
5. Which of the following is in agreement with the logic behind such a dressing change the passage deals with?
A.As America's economy slows, business casualty is proving rather too casual.
B.People are getting fed up with casual dress.
C.Women wear suits and trousers to show their full equality with men in workplace.
D.Workers intend to rely on their dressing to improve their social status.
Passage Four Shortly before Kennedy died of lymphoma (淋巴瘤), the great writer and physician Lewis Thomas, whose books turned science into a way of appreciating the grandeur (庄严,伟大) of the world, told me he thought the true measure of a life was that it be useful. He wondered in those last days if his own life had been useful, and many thousands of readers assured him that it had. "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be," cried Robert Browning's Rabbi Ben Ezra. Not always. Poetry replies to Rabbi Ben with E. Housman's "To an Athlete Dying Young" and comes up with no more startling (令人吃惊的) a conclusion than that a life is what one makes of it. Celebrity is hardly a prerequisite. Kennedy's life would have been just as valuable had he been, to use another poet's phrase, a "mute, inglorious (不体面的,可耻的) Milton ". A beloved colleague at TIME died recently who was unknown to most of the world, except the friends she cherished. The measure of a life is often taken in the smallest units. On television, a parking attendant in the garage that Kennedy used mentioned that Kennedy came over personally to wish the man a merry Christmas every year. A middle aged African American woman with whom he worked in one of the programs he supported was in tears at the recollection of continuous small acts of kindness. The sudden garden that has developed on the front steps of Kennedy's loft building began simply with neighbors paying homage (敬意) to a neighbor. From such fragments of evidence a whole life is constructed, or reconstructed. When a man dies, a civilization dies with him. Everything dies but the reverberation (反响,反射) of his works in the lives of others; and so, while an individual civilization dies, the greater one profits. We call such deaths tragedies because the force of the life has been of great magnitude (重要,重要性); yet tragedy from the point of view of the audience is high art, and one is filled with as much admiration as grief. Keats chose as his epitaph (墓志铭) "Here lies one whose name was writ in water." He believed that his life would be viewed as without consequence, and that he would debut (初次登台露面) one more transitory figure among the yearning and striving masses. Kennedy, too, I think, would have had his name writ in water, thus the appropriateness of his sea burial, because the best public servants disappear into the world, whose pain they feel. Every name is writ in water, which flows through us all.
1. We can infer from the first paragraph that Lewis Thomas believes that_________ .
A.if your life is meaningful for others then your life is important
B.if your life is long, you can build meaning into it
C.work while alive is the most important thing
D.usefulness of one life is hard to measure
A B C D
A
推理判断题。第一段中Thomas称“the true measure of a life was that it be useful”,说明他认为有用的生命才有意义,所以选A。
2. Which of the following statements is implied concerning Robert Browning?
A.He believes that longer life is no good thing.
B.He believes in dying young and achieving more.
C.He is a great poet who cherishes life.
D.He is against E, Housman, regarding the death issue.
A B C D
D
推理判断题。Browning高呼,“Grow old along with me!”,显然他是支持寿命尽量长;Housman则称,“To an Athlete Dying Young”,显然是赞成年轻有为,不在乎长寿,所以两人观点相反,因此选D。
3. The author writes the second paragraph mainly in the hope that we may understand that_________ .
A.the importance of one's life is not related with his reputation or fame
B.poets are more important than politicians in their contribution to society
C.statesmen are always ready to do small things for people around them
5. According to the passage, the sentence "The measure of a life is often taken in the smallest units" means that_________ .
A.the measure of a life can be divided into the smallest units
B.the greatness of a life can be measured by the smallest deeds the person has done
C.Kennedy was a very easy-going man
D.a life should be evaluated from the micro aspects
A B C D
B
事实细节题。此句与下面作者举的两个例子说明肯尼迪的人格魅力从细微处就可以看得出来,所以选B。

On Mobile Phone

On Mobile Phone
The mobile phone is nearly the most convenient device for communication now. Wherever people are, they can get in touch with each other easily. And to some extent, the mobile phone is also the most economical way for contact—by sending and receiving short messages, you save both money and time. With the development of technology, manufacturers have endowed mobile phones with more up-to-date functions, such as photographing. But a coin has two sides. No invention can avoid being misused, which betrays its original intention. Neither can the mobile phone. Take the new-year movie Mobile Phone for example. The movie beautifully describes how much trouble the mobile phone brings to the hero, because he uses it for dishonest purposes and has to tell lies again and again. And in real life, some ill-intentioned people use it as an evil tool. The mobile phone is a double-edged sword. Only by using it rightly and wisely can people avoid being hurt and make it a good servant.
