　　16.A.lost B.left C.remaining D.imaginable

　　答案　C

　　17.A.survive B.leave C.prove D.continue

　　解析　考查詞語辨析。經(jīng)過幾千年“幸存”下來。

　　答案　D

　　20.A.Rather than B.Other than

　　答案　D

　　30.A.making B.forcing C.attracting D.advising

　　解析　考查詞語辨析。attract表示“吸引”，attracting作后置定語修飾stories。

　　第二部分：閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分，滿分40分)

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　A

　　Jeffrey Bezos，the founder，president and chairman of the board of Amazon.com，was born in Albuquerque，New Mexico.His mother's ancestors were early settlers in Texas，and over the generations had acquired a 25,000acre farm at Cotulla.Jeffrey spent most summers of his youth working with his grandfather on their farm.

　　Jeffrey showed intense and varied scientific interests at an early age.He set up an electric alarm to keep his younger sisters and brothers out of his room and changed his parents' garage into a laboratory for his science projects.

　　After he graduated from Princeton University with a degree in computer science and electrical engineering，Jeffrey Bezos found employment on Wall Street，where computer science was increasingly in demand to study market trends.He rose quickly，becoming a senior vice president，and looked forward to a bright career in finance，when he made a discovery that changed his life，and the course of business history.

　　In 1994，there was still no Internet commerce to speak of.One day that spring，Jeffrey Bezos observed that Internet usage was increasing by 2,300 percent a year.He saw an opportunity for a new circle of commerce，and immediately began considering the possibilities.

　　Bezos founded Amazon.com in 1994，setting up the original company in his garage.The company was called Amazon for the seemingly endless South American river with its numberless branches.It started as an online bookstore but soon persified(多樣化)to all kinds of products.His work with Amazon eventually led him to become one of the most excellent dot­com entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家).He was named Time magazine's Person of the Year in 1999.In 2008，he was selected by U.S.News &World Report as one of America's Best Leaders.Bezos' Amazon has become“the Earth's biggest anything store”.Amazon.com is now called“one of the smartest strategies in business history”.

　　Today，Jeffrey Bezos lives north of Seattle and is increasingly concerned with charity(慈善)activities.“Giving away money takes as much attention as building a successful company，”he has said.

　　【語篇解讀】 本文介紹的是Amazon公司創(chuàng)始人Jeffrey Bezos的傳奇人生。

　　36.In his childhood，Bezos________.

　　A.had to work with parents on their farm all day long

　　B.showed great interest in science

　　C.didn't get along well with his brothers and sisters

　　D.wanted to become a businessman

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句中的內(nèi)容可知他在很小的時(shí)候就對(duì)科學(xué)表現(xiàn)出了濃厚的興趣。

　　答案　B

　　37.Jeffrey changed the course of business history because he________.

　　A.rose quickly，looking forward to a bright career in finance on Wall Street

　　B.observed the Internet usage was increasing by 2,300% a year

　　C.founded a new form of commerce that developed fast later

　　D.was the first to speak of Internet commerce

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第三段提到他的發(fā)現(xiàn)改變了他的人生，也改變了商業(yè)歷史的進(jìn)程，下文提到他注意到了因特網(wǎng)商業(yè)的巨大商機(jī)并創(chuàng)辦了Amazon公司，由此可知原因是他后來創(chuàng)建了一種快速發(fā)展的新型商業(yè)模式。

　　答案　C

　　38.Bezos named his company Amazon with the aim of ________.

　　A.opening numberless branches all over the world

　　B.living a quiet life along the Amazon River

　　C.earning endless money and being wealthy

　　D.wishing his company to run smoothly and endlessly

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二句中的內(nèi)容可推測(cè)他以Amazon命名自己的公司是希望公司能夠順利而且永無止境地運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。

　　答案　D

　　39.Which of the following ISN'T mentioned in the passage?

　　A.How hard Bezos studied physics in Princeton University.

　　B.“Amazo.com”only sold books in the beginning.

　　C.Bezos not only devoted his life to Internet commerce but also to charity.

　　D.The reason why Jeffrey Bezos decided to found Amazon.com.

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第三段前半部分可知他從普林斯頓大學(xué)畢業(yè)，但文中并沒有提到他在普林斯頓大學(xué)攻讀物理的刻苦程度。

　　答案　A

　　B

　　There are two factors which determine an inpidual's intelligence.The first is the sort of brain he is born with.Human brains differ considerably，some being more capable than others.But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with，an inpidual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what happens to the inpidual-the sort of environment in which he is reared.If an inpidual is handicapped environmentally，it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

　　The importance of environment in determining an inpidual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins，Peter and Mark X.Being identical，the twins had identical brains at birth，and their growth processes were the same.When the twins were three months old，their parents died，and they were placed in separate foster homes.Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities.Mark was reared in the home of well­to­do parents who had been to college.He was read to as a child，sent to good schools，and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens，when they were given tests to measure their intelligence.Mark's I.Q.was 125，twenty­five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother.Given equal opportunities，the twins，having identical brains，would have tested at roughly the same level.

　　40.This selection can best be titled________.

　　A.Measuring Your Intelligence

　　B.Intelligence and Environment

　　C.The Case of Peter and Mark

　　D.How the Brain Influences Intelligence

　　解析　主旨大意題。本文主要討論了智商與環(huán)境之間的關(guān)系，并以一對(duì)失去父母的雙胞胎兄弟的實(shí)例加以證明。

　　答案　B

　　41.The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that________.

　　A.human brains differ considerably

　　B.the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence

　　C.environment is vital to determine a person's intelligence

　　D.persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence

　　解析　推理判斷題。雖然人的智商是由兩個(gè)因素決定的。但是本文用大幅篇章說明了環(huán)境的重要性：好的學(xué)習(xí)、教育環(huán)境對(duì)于一個(gè)人的智商發(fā)展來說是必不可少的，并以一對(duì)失去父母的雙胞胎兄弟的實(shí)例加以證明。

　　答案　C

　　42.According to the passage，the average I.Q.is________.

　　A.85 B.100 C.110 D.125

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二句“Mark's I.Q.was 125，twenty­five points higher than the average”可知選B。

　　答案　B

　　C

　　“Small talk”includes topics，such as sports，weather，jobs，or past experiences.Most people do not talk about religion，politics，or personal feelings with strangers.People do not usually talk about the personal lives of their conversation partners.This emotional distance does not mean people dislike you，but personal lives are discussed only with close friends and family.

　　There are few“ritualistic”exchanges in English，but you should know that“How are you?”and“How's it going?”are greetings，not questions about your life.“See you later.”or“See you soon.”are ways of saying good­bye，not appointments.

　　People in the US are curious.They will ask you a lot of questions.Some of their questions may appear ridiculous，uninformed(無知的)and elementary，but try to be patient in answering them.You may be the first person from your country whom they have met，and they will have very little understanding of your life.Most people are sincerely interested in learning about you.

　　Many people believe in the“scientific method”of understanding the world，so they look for facts and evidence when you tell them something new.This may seem odd to students whose cultures emphasize feelings or emotions，but people are not rude if they say，“Show me”or“Prove it”.

　　Loud conversations usually mean people are angry.Most conversations are moderate in volume with few gestures.Do not speak too loudly or too quietly，and keep your hands under control.When you have communication difficulties，you may think it is because of spoken or written language.However，many misunderstandings happen because of non­verbal communication，or body language.

　　【語篇解讀】 本文是說明文。文章介紹跟美國人交談時(shí)應(yīng)該注意的問題，即美國人的交談習(xí)俗。

　　43.What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A.Making Conversations in the US

　　B.What Is“Small talk”?

　　C.Make Yourself at Home in the US

　　D.Understanding American Cultures

　　解析　主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文介紹跟美國人交談時(shí)應(yīng)該注意的問題，也就是美國人的交談習(xí)俗。B項(xiàng)僅是文章的細(xì)節(jié);C項(xiàng)偏離了文章的中心;D項(xiàng)概念過大。

　　答案　A

　　44.Which of the following would be an open topic of American conversations?

　　A.What one feels about his new colleague.

　　B.The war in Iraq.

　　C.Story of a sports star.

　　D.One's income.

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)常識(shí)可排除D項(xiàng)，美國人的談話一般不涉及個(gè)人隱私的問題，如年齡、婚姻、收入等。從第一段可知，人們閑談的話題其中包括體育方面的內(nèi)容，而政治、宗教以及個(gè)人感情則不是公開談?wù)摰脑掝}。

　　答案　C

　　45.What should you do if Americans say，“Show me”or“Prove it”?

　　A.Explain to them that your cultures emphasize feelings or emotions.

　　B.Try to give them as many facts as possible.

　　C.Tell them you don't understand the“scientific method”.

　　D.Ignore their questions and change to another topic.

　　解析　推理判斷題。從文章倒數(shù)第二段可知，美國人注重事實(shí)和證據(jù)，因此，你應(yīng)該給他們提供一些例子以便他們更好地理解你的觀點(diǎn)。

　　答案　B

　　46.From the last paragraph we can learn that________.

　　A.most communication difficulties are caused by spoken or written language

　　B.Americans are usually modest during a conversation

　　C.Americans use a lot of gestures during an conversation

　　D.you shouldn't use many gestures when talking to an American

　　解析　推理判斷題。從文章最后一段可知，美國人在談話中很少使用手勢(shì)，而且作者還建議你也要控制住自己的手，因此推斷，在跟美國人交談時(shí)不要過多地使用手勢(shì)。

　　答案　D

　　D

　　The Leaning Tower of Pisa has gone against the laws of gravity for seven and a half centuries.Every year，on June 19th，a professor from the University of Pisa climbs to the bell tower and measures the increase in the slant(傾斜) with special instruments.And every year the professor makes the same report：the tower has learned a bit—about an inch more.Last summer(the year of 2004)，the 125­foot­high tower was leaning an incredible 15 feet out of line.Scientists say that unless a way is found to stop the slant，the tower will collapse in less than 80 years.

　　The tower is leaning because the soft soil of Pisa will not support it.Its foundation is sinking into the soil at an angle，causing the tower to lean.Since a slight shake could make the foundation loose，the ringing of the tower's bells was forbidden in 1959.And trucks are not allowed to pass in the neighborhood of the tower for this same reason.

　　47.This passage is mainly about ________.

　　A.a famous tower that leans

　　B.a plan for saving the tower

　　C.the history of the Tower

　　D.the cause of the tower's slant

　　解析　主旨大意題。文章主要介紹塔的一些情況，而不是關(guān)于a plan for saving the tower，更不是單純說明the cause of the tower's slant。

　　答案　A

　　48.This summer the tower may be found to be in the slant by ________ according to the passage.

　　A.more than one inch B.exactly one inch

　　C.more than fifteen feet D.exactly fifteen feet

　　解析　推理判斷題。見第一段第三句、第四句“And every year...about an inch more”，“Last summer...15 feet out of line”可斷定“this summer...of...more than fifteen feet”。

　　答案　C

　　49.Truck traffic has been forbidden in the neighborhood of the tower ________.

　　A.to protect all the visitors

　　B.to prevent the bell in the tower

　　C.to protect the foundation

　　D.to keep the soil at the tower

　　解析　推理判斷題。見第二段最后兩句。

　　答案　C

　　50.According to the way it is written，this passage is more like ________.

　　A.a funny history story 　B.a serious tour advertisement

　　C.an exciting announcement 　D.a common science report

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文可知D為最佳答案。

　　答案　D

　　E

　　A different sort of generation gap is developing in the workplace.Someone-specifically the father­daughter team of Larry and Meagan Johnson-has figured out that on some American job sites，five generations are working side by side.

　　In their new book about generations in the workplace the pair argue that while such an age difference adds a lot of texture and a variety of life experiences，it can also bring tensions and conflicts.

　　The Johnsons are human­resource trainers and public speakers.Dad Larry is a former health­care executive;daughter Meagan is a onetime high­level sales manager.

　　Here are the oldest and youngest of the five generations they identify：

　　They call the oldest group Traditionals，born before 1945.They were heavily influenced by the lessons of the Great Depression and World War Ⅱ.They respect authority, set a high standard of workmanship，and communicate easily and confidently.But they're also stubbornly independent.They want their opinions heard.

　　At the other extreme are what the Johnsons call Linksters，born after 1995 into today's more complicated，multimedia world.They live and breathe technology and are often social activists.

　　You won't find many 15­year olds in the offices of large companies，except as volunteers，of course，but quite old and quite young workers do come together in sales environments like bike shops and ice cream stores.

　　The Johnsons，Larry and Meagan，represent a generation gap themselves in their work with jobsite issues.The Johnsons' point is that as the average lifespan continues to rise and retirement dates get delayed because of the tight economy，people of different generations are working side by side，more often bringing with them very different ideas about company loyalty and work values.

　　The five generations are heavily influenced by quite different events，social trends，and the cultural phenomena of their times.Their experiences shape their behavior and make it difficult，sometimes，for managers to achieve a strong and efficient workplace.

　　Larry and Meagan Johnson discuss all this in greater detail in a new book，“Generations，Inc.：From Boomers to Linksters-Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work.”published by Amacom Press，which is available in all good bookstores from this Friday.

　　【語篇解讀】 本文通過介紹一對(duì)父女出版的新書向我們解釋了現(xiàn)代社會(huì)出現(xiàn)的一種新現(xiàn)象：不同的幾代人可能在同一個(gè)公司上班，而他們之間的這種“代溝”導(dǎo)致了他們?cè)诠ぷ鲿r(shí)觀點(diǎn)不一……

　　51.The type of generation gap in Paragraph 1 refers to the difference in beliefs________.

　　A.between managers and workers

　　B.among family members

　　C.among employees

　　D.between older and newer companies

　　解析　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段第一句話中的in the workplace和該段最后一句話中的five generations are working side by side，可知文章中討論的generation gap是有關(guān)在同一公司上班的員工之間的不同觀念。因此C項(xiàng)正確。

　　答案　C

　　52.Which of the following statements is NOT true about Traditionals?

　　A.They've learned much from war and economic disaster.

　　B.They're difficult to work with as they are stubborn.

　　C.They respect their boss and hope to be respected.

　　D.They're independent workers with great confidence.

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段內(nèi)容可知，所謂的Traditionals是指1945年以前出生的人。根據(jù)這一段有關(guān)這類人的描述可知，A、C、D三項(xiàng)都是正確的，只有B項(xiàng)與原文內(nèi)容不符。

　　答案　B

　　53.According to the passage，the Linksters are usually________.

　　A.found working in the offices of large companies

　　B.influenced by multimedia and technology

　　C.enthusiastic multimedia activists

　　D.ice cream sellers

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段內(nèi)容可知B項(xiàng)正確。

　　答案　 B

　　54.According to the passage，modern workforces are more perse because________.

　　A.people want to increase their average lifespan

　　B.many young people are entering the workforce

　　C.employees with different values can benefit their companies

　　D.retirement dates are being delayed for economic reasons

　　解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段最后一句話可知D項(xiàng)正確，即由于經(jīng)濟(jì)的原因，退休年齡推遲，進(jìn)而導(dǎo)致不同時(shí)代的人在一起上班。

　　答案　D

　　55.What's the main purpose of the passage?

　　A.To promote a new book by Larry and Meagan Johnson.

　　B.To describe the five different workplace generations.

　　C.To introduce the Johnsons' research about perse workforces.

　　D.To identify a major problem in modern workforces.

　　解析　推理判斷題。文章最后一段的大意是：Larry和Meagan Johnson在他們的新書里仔細(xì)討論了這個(gè)問題，由Amacom出版社出版，從本周五在所有書店里都能買到。由這段的內(nèi)容可知，本文的寫作目的是介紹一本新書。另外，第二段中的In their new book about generations也是答案提示。由此可知，A項(xiàng)正確。

　　答案　A

　　Hello，everyone，

　　Now_I'll_tell_you_something_about_our_research_project“The_World_Food_Crisis”on_behalf_of_our_group.As_you_know，food_shortages_have_hit_many_countries_in_the_world_and_even_caused_social_unrest_in_some_areas.But who is responsible for the current world food crisis?First，annual world grain output has declined because of climate change.Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization.Besides，faced with the rising energy prices，people have turned to the production of biofuel，which has worsened the severe situation.

　　Then what should we do to deal with the problem?On the one hand，we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology.On the other hand，strict measures should be taken to protect farmland.Of course，to build a harmonious world，the developed countries should help the poor ones.As for me，I will call on the people around me to live thriftily.And for the moment，we should study hard to develop science and help solve the problem of food shortages in the future.
