[解析] 17-20 Mr. Smith was a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with life. He did not sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time. Finally, after several sleepless nights, he decided to go to see his doctor. The doctor advised him to go abroad to change condition. But Mr. Smith was afraid that he was not good at foreign language. The doctor told him that he could talk a little less and gave him four pieces of advice: go on a voyage, take plenty of exercise, try to re- duce his weight and avoid rich food. Mr. Smith went to French. But he did not know French, and had to communicate through body movements. He joined in a physical training course. The teacher made him shake his knees, his arms, his neck and his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs. After a time his body grew hard and firm. He forgot his company and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice the green trees and the lovely birds. Finally he returned home. But unfortunately his improvement was only temporary. Soon he was a normal business man again, worried about his company, his savings, his advancement in a technological society,and things in general.

C.improves
D.grows
A B C D

3.
A.parts
B.sides
C.ways
D.pairs
A B C D
B
下文的the right side...and the left side...可做提示:人的大脑有两边(two sides)。

第三部分 阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A The United Nations published a report that was called "The State of World Population". It shows that the growth rate of world population. will actually go down in the next ten years. The growth rate will fall from the present 1.8% to a rate of about 1.6% by the end of this century. But the report also points out that problems of food, health care, housing care, housing, jobs and schools will get worse unless we do something about the situation. Why is this? Although the total growth rate of the world population will decrease(下降), in some countries there will be a big rise in the population. More people will be born in Third World countries than in the richer Northern countries. So the population will grow faster in poor countries; and the problems in these countries will be very serious. This is because the family is more likely to survive(幸存) if there are a lot of children to work for the members who become old or who cannot find work. A survey of the UN also shows that the growth rate is low where there is a higher level of income, better education, more health care and better living conditions. In this aspect, government plays an important role. So, the conclusion of the UN report is: "Look after the people and the population will look after itself."
1. What can we learn about the growth rate of population?
A.The total growth rate of world population will increase.
B.The growth rate of population in richer countries will increase.
C.The growth rate of population in poor countries will increase.
D.The total growth rate in American countries will increase.
A B C D
C
从第二段so the population will grow faster in poor countries可以看出,贫穷落后国家的人口增长会比较快。[A]、[B]两项明显与文中交代事实不符,全球人口及富裕国家人口增长速度是下降的;[D]项没有提到。
2. Why will the population in poorer countries increase?
A.Because they need more labor to support the family.
B.Because the people have the habit to have a big family.
B More than 4,000 years ago, a primitive (上古的)artist carved a picture on the side of a rock in northern Norway. The carving described a man on a pair of skis, Today, more than 'a million Americans have something in common with that Stone Age character -- they have joined in a fast-growing sport called" ski touring". Ski touring is healthy, cheap, unpretentious (自然的)fun -- and an excellent winter family activity. It is a more demanding sport and requires first-class physical condition and a good deal of energy. To a ski tourer, the joy of this sport lies in its simplicity. It can be enjoyed wherever there is snow on an open field or road. As ski touring grows more popular, equipment for the sport is expanding, too. There are now chains of commercial ski touring centers renting and selling equipment and providing instruction. While some members of the family may be chicken about schussing (作直线下滑) down mountainsides, today everybody can go on a touring trip.
2. From the second paragraph, we know that the ski touring ______.
A.isn't very easy to learn
B.can be carried out indoors
C.doesn't have the limitations of energy and health
D.is a healthy activity which can be enjoyed by a family
A B C D
D
[解析] 在文中没有提到。第二段最后提到It can be enjoyed wherever there is snow on an open field or road,排除[B];这项运动是一个“demanding sport”,要有一流的身体条件和大量能量(first-class physical condition and a great deal of energy),因此可排除选项[C];第二段首句提到ski touring is a“cheap”,“healthy”,“family activity”,因此[D]项正确。
3. The underlined word" demanding" probably means ______.
A.requiring more energy
B.easy to learn
C.enjoyable
D.dangerous
A B C D
A
根据上下文可知demanding并非是危险的(dangerous)或令人愉悦的(enjoyable)或简单易学的(easy to learn),而是指要求较高的、需要体力的。
4. Although the sport is very popular, some people are still ______.
A.expanding its equipment
B.asking for instructions
C.afraid of going down the mountainsides
D.curious about the sport
A B C D
C
最后一段指出,虽然这项运动风靡一时,但仍然有人惧怕从山路上冲下来(may be chicken about schussing down mountainsides);[A]并不与运动的普遍性构成让步关系;至于 asking for instructions 和 curious about the sport文中并未提及。
5. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the text?
A.It's about the relationship between primitive skiing and the modern ski touring.
C Alice always wanted to be a singer. Music was the most important thing in her life but, to tell you the truth, she took lessons for years, and practiced every day, but in spite of all this, her voice didn't improve. Honestly, it didn't get better; it just got louder. Her teacher finally gave up and stopped the lessons, but Alice refused to give in, and one day she decided to give a concert and invited her teacher to attend. The teacher was very worried about what to say after the concert. She knew it would be terrible and it was. She didn't want to tell a lie, but she didn't want to hurt Alice' feeling either. Finally, she got an idea and went backstage to greet her pupil. "Well," said Alice," What did you think of my singing?" "My dear," said the teacher," You will never be better than you were tonight."
1. Alice wanted to be a singer because she ______.
A.was good at singing
B.could do nothing but sing
C.had a good teacher
D.was most interested in music
A B C D
D
从第一段可明显看出:音乐对于爱丽斯来说至为重要,即她对音乐最感兴趣。
2. Alice's teacher stopped the lessons because ______.
A.Alice didn't make any improvement in singing
B.Alice's voice became louder and louder ....
C.Alice didn't work hard enough
D.Alice was so proud and wouldn't listen to her
A B C D
A
第一段末的这句话,表明爱丽斯在唱歌方面没有任何进展,只是声音更大了,为此,她的老师才决定放弃。
3. What does the teacher mean by saying "You'll never be better than you were tonight."?
4. If Alice's teacher had told a lie, she might have said ______.
A."I don't like the concert."
B."You have made no progress."
C."The concert tonight is terrible."
D."Your concert tonight is excellent."
A B C D
D
老师因不想撒谎,才说了文中那句话。倘若老师违心,他该极力赞扬爱丽斯的演唱会,说它“棒极了”。
D Air Canada announced that on June 2,2005 it will introduce non-stop service between Toronto and Beijing, further building its main Toronto hub (中枢) with more non-stop flights to Asia and creating the first-ever direct link between eastern Canada and the Chinese mainland. Air Canada will operate four non-stop flights per week from Toronto to the Chinese capital of Beijing, and also supply its daily non-stop flights to Beijing and Shanghai from Vancouver, and twice daily Hong Kong flights including a new non-stop service from Toronto. In addition, in response to increased demand on its Vancouver. Shanghai route, Air Canada will replace its 189-seat Boeing 767-300ER service with larger 282-seat A340-300 aircraft during the peak (高峰)demand season beginning June 1,2005. With these new service, Air Canada is increasing seating numbers between Canada and China by 16 percent and providing goods senders with 45% more cargo(货物) tonnage from one year ago. "China is the fastest growing aviation (航空) market in the world, and Air Canada's global network is well placed to meet the needs of international travelers and cargo senders, "said Duncan Dee, senior vice president of Air Canada.
1. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.There was no non-stop service between Canada and China mainland.
B.People in our countries could fly to Canada from Beijing directly three years ago.
C.More people will fly to Canada from China directly.
D.Air Canada is increasing the capacity of goods transportation for the first time.
A B C D
C
文章开始指出加航将于2005年6月开通加拿大与北京之间的直通航班,距今也没有三年的历史,故[B]错。从第二段:“...complementing its daily non-stop flights to Beijing and Shanghai from Vancouver.”可知[A]错,而[D]项文章第三段最后一句可知增加货运量从一年前就开始了,而非“首次”。
2. How many cities in China can we fly to Canada directly from?
A.2.
B.3.
C.4.
D.5.
A B C D
B
从第二段可以得知,在中国,北京、上海、香港三座城市可直飞加拿大。
3. What measure Air Canada will take according to the text?
A.It will introduce non-stop service between Toronto and Shanghai.
B.It will replace its 189-seat Boeing 767-300ER service with large 282-seat A340-300 aircraft forever.
C.It will increase the capacity of goods transportation.
D.It will decrease the number of flight.
A B C D
C
加拿大航空公司是要增加Toronto到Beijing的直达航班。从第三段“...during the peak demand season beginning June 1,2005.”可知,加航班只是从2005年一月份在交通高峰季节换上大容量航班,而不是[B]项所说的永远(forever)。文中第三段最后指出加拿大航空公司将增加加拿大与中国航班的座位数及货运数量,所以[C]正确。
4. What's the main idea of the passage?
A.Air Canada will open non-stop flight between China and Canada.
B.Air Canada will open non-stop flight between Beijing and Toronto.
C.China is becoming the largest aviation market in the world.
D.The distance between Canada and China will become short.
E Even though she's just 5 years old, Cindy Smart speaks five languages. She's a good reader. She can tell time and do simple math. She's not a person with exceptional powers. She's just good at programming. Cindy looked like an doll(洋娃娃), with long, golden hair, baby-blue eyes, and a button nose. But Cindy is the first doll that can sec, think, and do as she's told. The eagle-eyed Cindy follows in the path of other breakthrough toys like Sony's barking Robot Aibo, which was the first to popularize voice command in the late 1990s. Cindy goes one step further; she not only follows instructions but also recognizes shapes, colors, and words -- and remembers. The effect is a doll that appears to be learning. The toy company which produced Cindy Smart spent ten years trying to see how much human nature it could breathe into an inanimate object. Its engineers began researching basic and 'affordable artificial intelligence (人工智能), creating minibots that sense light, sounds, and pressure, However, without the sense of sight, their toys seemed to be lacking one of the keenest (敏锐的) abilities that life forms use to react to their environment. So how do the engineers make a doll actually see? In Cindy's case, it's a multi-step process. When presented a text like "I love you" and asked" Can you' read this?" Cindy takes it as one of 70 preprogrammed commands. Then the inbuilt camera scans(扫描) a 15-degree radius (半径) in search of number or letter-shaped objects. Buried in her stomach, Cindy's 16-bit microprocessor compares the text with her database of 700 words. If it's a match, "I love you, "she utters.
1. This text most likely appears in a ______.
A.medical report
B.language dictionary
C.science journal
D.music magazine
A B C D
C
由全文可知,本文是介绍一种新型高科技玩具Cindy Smart的说明文。故应该出现在科学杂志上。
2. What can we know about Robot Aibo in this text?
A.It could recognize shapes and colors.
B.It could respond to spoken commands.
C.It was put on the market no later than 1990.
D.It was created much later than Cindy Smart.
A B C D
B
此题易选[C]项,但原文说的是在二十世纪90年代末(in the late 1990s)Robot Aibo 开始出现而非不晚于90年代(no later than 1990);[A]项是本文重点介绍的Cindy Smart的特点之一;根据第二段第一句“...follows in the path of other breakthrough toys like Sony's barking Robot Aibo,which was the first to popularize voice command...”可知[D]项错而[B]项正确。
3. According to the text, how can Cindy "see"?
A.She recognizes any text as "I love you".
B.She is equipped with a camera to search for text.
C.She is instructed by an engineer standing next to her.
D.She makes contact with the shapes of the text with her stomach.
A B C D
B
由文章最后一段“Then the inbuilt camera scans a 15-degree radius in search of number or letter-shaped objects.”可知Cindy由于装有相机才能“see”。[A]项答非所问;文中未提到有工程师站在Cindy旁边,[C]错;[D]项说Cindy用肚子来接触课文表面,显然与文中提到的用数码相机来浏览不相符。
A woman went blindness. She promised a doctor a 76. ______. lot of money if he could make her to see again.
