2. Nowadays the new medicine can ______ man of the deadly disease.
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part. After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked with A, B, C and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory,he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough practice. The position is exactly the same as that of two people,one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a car all day. If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as it was his arms or legs that were weak. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means—practice. Have you ever noticed that people who can not read or write usually have better memories than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because those who can not read or write have to remember things: they can not write them down in a notebook. They have to remember dates, times, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is always being exercised. So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor and humble: practise remembering.
1. The first paragraph is intended to tell us that ______.
A.everybody knows that memory works in the same way as arms or legs
B.it is a fact that some people do not use their arms or legs
C.to have a good memory, one has to exercise it regularly
D.to keep fit, one should not sit in a chair or a car all day
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为段落主旨题。文章第一段从身体四肢需要经常锻炼才能强健的事实引入话题,说明人的记忆力也是通过不断地锻炼才能强化的道理。文章明确说Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way(很多人都不知道记忆力与人的四肢是以相同的方式工作的)。从这个句子可以得知选项A的everybody knows that memory works in the same way as arms or leg中所表达的意思与这个结论正好相反,故不正确;选项B的内容在文中并没有提及,且明显有悖常识,故不正确。选项C的to have a good memory, one has to exercise it regularly(要想记忆好,就要经常锻炼)与第一段中表达的意思完全一致,因此选项C为正确答案。选项D的to keep fit, one should not sit in a chair or a car all day并没有说明需要锻炼,与文章第一段表达的内容符合度不够。
2. In the author's opinion, a poor memory may result from ______.
A.unlucky fortune
B.weak arms and legs
C.insufficient education
D.lack of remembering practice
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题为推断题。选项A中说记忆力差是运气不好引起的,这一点与文章第二段中的...or that he is just unlucky一致,但不是作者的观点,而是许多其他人的认识;选项B说是四肢虚弱引起的,这一点文章中根本没有提及,也就说不上是作者的观点了;选项C说是教育不足引起的,从文章第三段作者的举例可以看出记忆力与教育无关;选项D中所说缺乏记忆训练与作者举例相关,同时文章最后一句话So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor and humble: practise remembering.(如果想有好的记忆力,就要向那些贫穷而卑微的人学习:锻炼记忆力。)既是作者给我们的忠告,也是作者就记忆力好与差所要表达的结论性意见,因此选项D才是正确答案。
3. The author seems to suggest that we should ______.
A.complain about nothing but our health
B.play tennis to exercise our arms and legs
C.blame ourselves rather than our parents for a poor memory
D.learn from those who can not read or write for a better memory
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为推理题。解题的关键在于文章中提到的...and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as it was his arms or legs that were weak.从这个句子中可以看出作者提醒人们“记忆力不佳是自己个人的过错,就好像人们的胳膊、腿不强健一样,是因为缺乏锻炼”。选项A的complain about nothing but our health意为“只能抱怨身体不好”,完全背离原文意思;选项B的play tennis to exercise our arms and legs意为“通过打网球来锻炼四肢”,作者在第一段中提到有人通过打网球来锻炼四肢,但不是给读者提出的建议,故不正确。选项D提到向那些不会读书和写字的人学习,总是把所有的事记在心里,经常锻炼记忆力,属于断章取义,也不正确。因此选项C的blame ourselves rather than our parents for a poor memory(记忆不好只能怪自己而不能怪父母)才是作者所要表达的意思,所以C是正确答案。
4. The author comes to the conclusion that ______.
A.memory can be improved by practising it
B.the poorer one is, the better memory he has
C.if you want a good memory, do not read or write anything
D.the poor and humble people may help you remember things
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为综合理解题,考查对作者观点的正确理解。全文从头至尾都在探讨的问题是记忆力像身体四肢的能力一样可以通过锻炼加强,并且还提到那些不会读写的人往往有很好的记忆力,因为他们必须将所有的事情记在心里。文章最后还说So if you want a good memory, learn from the poor and humble: practice remembering.(你如果想有好的记忆力,就向那些贫穷而卑微的人学习,锻炼记忆力)。所以作者的结论就是通过锻炼来改善记忆力,故选项A正确。选项B中“the poorer one is, the better memory he has越穷记忆力越好”的结论在文章中根本没有提及,作者也没有得出这样的结论;选项C表达的“if you want a good memory, do not read or write anything要想记忆力好,就别学文化”则衍生于作者的举例,但是举例是为了达到得出结论的目的,而不是所做的结论;选项D的“the poor and humble people may help you remember things贫穷和卑微的人可以帮你记住事情”与作者原意不符,作者的意图是向他们学习锻炼记忆力。
5. The most appropriate title for the passage would be ______.
A.Poor and Good Memory
B.Your Arms,Legs and Brain
C.How to Improve Your Memory
D.Learn from the Poor and Humble
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题是文章主旨题,要求给文章选取最贴切的标题。选项A的“Poor and Good Memory好与差的记忆力”只是文章中谈到的一个问题,不能代表全文;选项B表达的“Your Arms, Legs and Brain胳膊、腿和大脑”文章中都提到了,但只是谈论的对象并不是文章的主题;选项C中“How to Improve Your Memory如何改善你的记忆力”才是文章要表达的中心思想;选项D表达的“Learn from the Poor and Humble向贫穷和卑微的人学习”只是作者要说明即便是文盲也能有很好的记忆力。此外,作者从文章开头就力图说明“大多数人不了解记忆力就好像人的胳膊和腿一样都需要锻炼”。

6. From the passage we know that one of the reasons why people feel tired, anxious, etc. is that ______.
A.they are exposed to poisons
B.they fail to follow the doctor's advice
C.there are harmful things in their bodies
D.there is air pollution in their living places
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题是推理题。文章第一部分列出了10个选项,在后面的段落里分别指出你选择的肯定项目数目的多少说明你身体里毒素沉积的程度大小,与选项C中所说“there are harmful things in their bodies你体内存有有害物质”一致。而其他选项中所说的原因虽然根据人们的常识知识是正确的,但是在文章中都没有提及,因此都不正确。
7. The poisons from drugs, chemicals and environment may stay in one's body and ______.
A.affect him years later
B.have an influence immediately
C.go away in a few years
D.make him depend on drugs
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题是细节题。解题关键是文章10个选项后的第一段第二句They stay in your body and can even affect you years later(它们滞留在体内并在数年后对人产生影响),这个句子与选项A中的affect him years later完全一致,故正确答案是A。其他选项的内容在文章中都没有提及,因此都不正确。
8. If one answered yes to two questions he may experience a ______ level of body pollution.
A.considerable
B.high
C.medium
D.low
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题是细节题。需要确定“如果你仅仅有两个答案与问题一致,则你体内的毒素处于一种什么状态。”根据第二段第一句If you answered yes to 3 or less you could have a low level of accumulated toxins in your body, affecting your ability to think clearly(如果你选择肯定的项目小于等于3个,则体内毒素的沉积程度则较小,你的思维会变得不清醒)。根据这个句子可以确定选项D所提出的low(低)与文章内容一致,是正确答案。其他答案与题干要求不符。
9. If one experiences heavy body pollution he may answer yes to ______ of the questions.
A.a half
B.a few
C.most
D.some
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题是细节题。需要确定“如果体内中毒较深,则需要对多少问题回答为肯定的”。文章10个选择后第三段中If you answered yes to most of these questions, you could be experiencing heavy body pollution.这一信息与选项C中most完全一致。选项A说明的considerable accumulated toxins其程度明显低于most;选项B说明的a low level of accumulated toxins in your body程度也明显低于most;而选项D中的some这一概念应该在一半之下,自然也少于most。
10. Clear Body, Clear Mind is probably the name of a ______.
A.hospital
B.book
C.program
D.manual
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题是细节题。从文章倒数第二段第一句话中的a new bestseller就可以得出选项B是正确答案;此外,从最后一段中的Buy your copy at bookstores everywhere(在所有书店你都可以买到一本)也可以得出相同的结论。而其他几个选项在文章中都没有提及。
Higher productivity is essential to the rising of living standards and to the declining prices of goods and services. But higher productivity may lead to fewer jobs. Early in the postwar era, analysts were worried that automation would take over manufacturing, throwing everyone out of work. That fear went unrealized for a generation, in part because robots and computers weren't good at much. Today, near-automated manufacturing is becoming a reality. Newly built factories often require only a small part of the work force in the plants. Office technology,meanwhile, now allows a few to do what once required a large group of people. There may come a point when the gains from higher productivity pale before the job losses. But even if that point does not come, rapid technological change is causing anxiety about future employment: anxiety that makes it hard to appreciate and enjoy what productivity creates. Prosperity brings many other mixed blessings. Living standards keep rising, but so do cases of depression. Agricultural yields continue rising, yet that means fewer family farms are needed. Biotechnology may allow us to live longer, but may leave us dependent on costly synthetic drugs. There are many similar examples. Increasingly, western life suffers from the paradoxes (自相矛盾) of progress. Material circumstances keep improving, yet our quality of life may be no better as a result—especially in those cases, like food, where enough becomes too much.
11. The fear that automation would make people out of work turned out to be ______.
A.impossible
B.reasonable
C.practical
D.unnecessary
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题为细节题。要求读者根据文章确定“对自动化将要使更多的人失业的恐慌”的最终的结果。从文章第二段中可以看到题干中The fear...turned out to be的“恐慌”指的是战后初期出现的,但是That fear went unrealized for a generation, in part because robots and computers weren't good at much.说明这一“恐慌”并没成为现实,部分原因是因为机器人与计算机还不够完善。因此,这一“恐慌”是没有必要的,正确答案为选项D。选项A中的impossible是没有道理的;选项B中的reasonable在战后初期可能如此,但最终结果并非如此;选项C中的practical就更无从谈起了。
12. In the third paragraph the word "pale" most probably means ______.
A.result from technological changes
B.decrease in relative importance
C.result in poor health
D.increase in anxiety
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题为词义猜测题。题干问第三段中的pale这个词是什么意思。从上下文来看,第二段里说如今几乎全自动的生产制造正在成为现实,新建的工厂车间里只需要很少的人力。同时办公技术,让几个人就能完成过去很多人才能完成的T作。紧接着第三段出现了这个句子There may come a point when the gains from higher productivity pale before the job losses(可能会出现这样的状况,失业会使因生产力提高而获得的收益变得pale)。而下文则论述了失业带来的焦虑,以及高科技带来的利弊。因此pale在上下文中的意思是“使……相形见绌”,或“使……显得逊色;显得微不足道”。故答案选B项。选项A表达的“源于科技改变”,选项C表达的“导致身体不好”和选项D表达的“增加焦虑”,都不能使句意通顺,与句子逻辑不符,故不正确。
13. We can find in the passage that it is hard to enjoy higher production because ______.
A.people are afraid of automation
B.technology may change even more rapidly
C.computers are not good at some work
D.unemployment may emerge on a large scale
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题为推断题。文章从一开始就提到...higher productivity may lead to fewer jobs。第二段中更是说明新建的工厂和办公技术需要更少的人从事更多的工作。第三段则更为直接地说明rapid technological change is causing anxiety about future employment: anxiety that makes it hard to appreciate and enjoy what productivity creates。因此选项D的unemployment may emerge on a large scale(大规模的失业)是“人们很难享受更高的生产效率”的原因。选项A中people are afraid of automation在文章中并没有谈到;选项B的technology may change even more rapidly是一个事实,但并不是人们担忧的原因;选项C的computers are not good at some work与原文意思不符,因为文章提到Today, near automated manufacturing is becoming a reality(如今几乎全自动的生产正在成为现实)。
14. The last paragraph mainly tells us that ______.
A.material benefits are what we need
B.prosperity is just one side of the same coin
C.the quality of life may be worse than before
D.western people are free from the paradoxes of progress
A B C D
B
[解析] 该题为段落主旨题。最后一段的第一句话是本段的主题句Prosperity brings many other mixed blessings,接下来整段都在讨论具体的利弊。选项A的material benefits are what we need不是这段讨论的主要内容,因为这段并没有论述我们多么需要物质利益,恰恰还讲了物质丰富所带来的弊端。选项B表达的“繁荣只是事物利弊两面性的一个方面”则说明了本段的主题句。选项C的the quality of life may be worse than before与文章最后一段中“...our quality of life may be no better”并不符合,文中并没有说生活品质比以前糟,而是说并没有提高而已;选项D中的western people are free from the paradoxes of progress与文章最后一段的说法Increasingly, western life suffers from the paradoxes(自相矛盾)of progress正相反,所以也不正确。
15. The author implies in the passage that ______.
A.while life gets better,people feel worse
B.life is generally not as good as it used to be
C.people should return to the past to feel better
D.our quality of life has turned worse before it turns better
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为推理题。从全文内容来看,作者主要讲了科技的发展给人们带来的影响,同时强调物质生活的提高,并没有提高生活的品质。文章最后一句说Material circumstances keep improving, yet our quality of life may be no better as a result...,与选项A中所述的while life gets better, people feel worse所要表明的态度一致,因此正确答案为A项。选项B的life is generally not as good as it used to be在文章中并没有说现在的生活不如以前,而只是说生活品质并没有随科技的繁荣而提高;选项C的people should return to the past to feel better并没有在文章中有任何的提及,因此也不存在暗示人们应该回到过去更好;选项D的our quality of life has turned worse before it turns better与文章倒数第二句中的the paradoxes of progress相矛盾,因此不能成为作者想要暗示的内容。
In today's competitive job market, students are looking for degrees outside their home countries to position themselves as global managers fluent in international practices. Among them is Simon Tindall, an American who turned down a scholarship to Georgetown University in Washington in favor of Cambridge. Foreign students make up an average 70 percent to 80 percent of non-U. S. MBA programs. In contrast, the Wharton School, at the University of Pennsylvania, reports one of the highest percentages of international students for an American program at 39 percent, a figure that includes U.S. permanent residents. While the tough recruiting climate for graduates entering the U. S. job market is a factor in the decrease,another pressure point seems to be restrictions on visas for travel, education and work in the States after the war in Iraq, SARS in Asia and political changes related to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11,2001. One Chinese student said she had been offered a full scholarship to attend the University of Michigan's MBA program in 2002 but that a visa request had been denied two years in a row. Another could not obtain a visa to enroll at the University of California at Los Angeles. Many students are also being attracted by the affordability of international programs, especially in relation to costs in the United States. Most MBA programs outside the United States can be completed in one year rather than two, representing a huge saving in both tuition and opportunity costs. Britain has an advantage over other international programs in both ranking and brand value. Better rankings attract better students, who in turn improve the rankings. "The applications we received this year were on average of a much higher quality than last year," said Gary, the admission director at Cambridge. "The increase in applications enables us to be more selective. Year to year, we're looking to increase the quality of the student body, which in turn strengthens competition for the whole program."
16. Simon Tindall went to Cambridge to study for an MBA program because ______.
A.Cambridge offered him a full scholarship
B.he was denied a scholarship by Georgetown University
C.there was a lower percentage of foreign students in Britain
D.international experience would benefit him in employment
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题为细节题。文章第一句话说在如今激烈的就业竞争中,学生们到国外读学位使自己成为有国际经历的全球化的经理,并举了Simon Tindall的例子,因此选项D中的international experience would benefit him in employment与其完全一致,为正确答案。选项A中说剑桥给他提供全额奖学金在文章中并没有提及;选项B提供的不是事实,事实是Simon拒绝了奖学金,而不是乔治敦大学拒绝给西蒙奖学金;选项C的内容则与文章中所提供的事实正好相反。
17. Compared with students taking U. S. programs, those doing an MBA in Britain have ______.
A.a wider variety of nationalities
B.a small number of nationalities
C.a hard time selecting a favorite school
D.a better opportunity getting a full scholarship
A B C D
A
[解析] 该题为细节题。文章第二段明确指出Foreign students make up an average 70 percent to 80 percent of non-U.S. MBA programs. In contrast, the Wharton School, at the University of Pennsylvania, reports one of the highest percentages of international students for an American program at 39 percent, a figure that includes U.S. permanent residents.(非美国地区攻读MBA课程的外国学生占到了70%~80%。相反,美国宾西法尼亚大学沃顿学校公布的攻读在美课程的国际学生比例仅为39%,这还是最高比例之一,而这其中还包括了在美永久居住的外国人。)据此可推断在英国读MBA的外国人比美国多,因此答案应选A项(更多样化的国籍)。选项B与选项A的内容相反;选项C所说的对学校的选择则在文章中并没有提及;选项D所说的获取奖学金的机遇多寡并未在文中提及。
18. Some Chinese students gave up their choices of studying in the States because ______.
19. The fifth paragraph tells us that most MBA programs outside the States ______.
A.last longer
B.are cost-efficient
C.lack global attraction
D.are hard to complete
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题为细节题。解题关键在于第五段最后一句话Most MBA programs outside the United States can be completed in one year rather than two, representing a huge saving in both tuition and opportunity costs(多数美国以外的MBA课程都能在一年内完成,会大大地节省学费与机会成本)。选项B中的are cost-efficient与这一信息相一致,故为正确答案。其他几个选项都与原文不符或未提及。
20. The increase in applications for MBA in Britain is due to ______ of the universities.
A.the locations
B.the reputation
C.the academic levels
D.the tuitions and facilities
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题为细节题。需要说明英国MBA申请者的数量增加的主要原因是什么。文章在最后一段中明确表示Better rankings attract better students, who in turn improve the rankings.这就说明好的名誉吸引来好的学生,反过来好学生就进一步提高了学校的声誉。故选项B是MBA项目申请人增加的主要原因。选项A、C、D提出的三个因素在文章中并未提及。

我们的档案部的确有一个空缺的职位,约翰逊先生想和您谈谈有关情况。
[解析] 本句重点考查强调语气的结构。do放在陈述句的谓语动词前用于强调,表达“的确;确实”等意思。an opening在这里指“空缺的职位”。be happy to do sth.意为“很高兴(想)和某人做某事”。
2. The two parties in the spirit of friendship and cooperation have entered into an agreement to sign the present contract.
双方本着友好合作的精神,同意签订本合同。

3. An agenda is enclosed. Also, you will find a map with complete travel directions and a description of the parking facilities.
附上一份会议议程表,同时还有详细的旅行路线图及停放车辆的说明。
[解析] 本句注意是书信常用语的意思。be enclosed的意思是“随信附上……”,类似表达还有:Enclosed you may find...(你可见随信附上了……)。此外,a map with complete travel directions中的complete译为“详细的”;parking facilities指“停车设施”。
