Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.There are people who are especially attracted to the concept of “climbing the ladder” so to increase their status,financial position,and sense of self-worth.In?part,as a result of the work ethic (行为的准绳),these people are internally “driven” to work.Frequently,foreign visitors have observed that Americans spend an?excessive amount of time working and as a consequence,Americans have little time for leisure or personal relationships.In American English a new word has been created to describe people who work compulsively.The word “workaholic”describes?an individual who is as devoted to work as an alcoholic is addicted to liquor.There are conflicting points of view about workaholics.Those concerned with problems of mental stress believe workaholics abuse themselves physically and mentally.Others hold that workaholics are valuable members of society because they are?extremely productive.The American culture values achievement,efficiency,and production—a workaholic upholds these values.21.This passage mainly discusses____ .A)the concept of climbing the ladderB)the importance of self-improvementC)the problem of workaholicD)workaholics and the views on them22.In the United States,there are some people____ .A)who want very much to have a self-improvementB)who are absorbed by climbing the ladderC)who especially like the idea of climbing a ladderD)who want to get to the top of the society23.When a visitor comes to the USA.he may____ .A)find that Americans have a longer work hourB)find that Americans have a strange work hourC)have little leisure timeD)find that Americans work very hard24.The word “workaholic”refers to a person____ .A)who especially likes alcohol B)who enjoys workingC)who is forced to work by someone else D)who likes to work and to drink liquor25.The author’s attitude toward “workaholic”people is ____ .A)positive B)negative C)indifferentD)critical

Passage 3Questions 31 to 36 are based on the following passage.Except for the Indians, the earliest backpackers in America were frontiersmen,who roamed the wilderness looking either for necessities such as food and water?or for sources of wealth such as fur and gold.For them backpacking was a way of?survival or a means of achieving what one day would be called the “American Dream”.Today,however,many people enjoy backpacking as a recreational activity.Shouldering a pack and leaving behind the world of telephone,television and traffic promise an exciting experience.Testing one’s stamina (耐力) and skills are challenging a sense of one’s place in the natural world can be rewarding .Moreover,backpacking is an activity that can last any length for time and can be enjoyed alone or with friends.Then too,a backpacking trip may be organized within a day or two.The backpacker and his friends have only to decide on their destination and then organize the all-important kit,whose contents they must depend on throughout their trip.A map,a compass,a flashlight,along with first? equipment,food,and extra clothing can be rounded up without much difficulty.Once the backpackers have left word about where they go in a note on the refrigerator door or in a message on an answering machine,they can look forward to an adventure that will lift the spirit and nourish the soul.Their outing will enable them to return in a short time to the age of technology with the courage and independence of Natty Bumppo,who did indeed belong to the age of the frontier.31.The passage mainly discusses____ .A)the early backpackersB)backpacking as a perfect form of recreationC)how backpacking startedD)why people of today are interested in backpacking32.The earliest backpackers were ____.A)frontiersmenB)IndiansC)fur traders D)gold miners33.Early backpackers who roamed about in wilderness were interested in finding____ .A)means to realize the American dream B)recreation in lifeC)relief from the stress of everyday life D)daily necessities34.One of the advantages of backpacking is that ____.A)it can help people to establish a link? with natureB)it is a group activity and can cure a person’s lonelinessC)it is not so challenging as other activitiesD)it does not require people to decide on a destination35.According to the passage,Natty Bumppo was____.A)an American national hero B)a character in a Hemingway novelC)a man of valorD)an lndian warrior
?
Passage 4Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The manner in which desert locust plagues develop is very complex.The two most important factors in that development are meteorology and the gregariousness of the insect.Since locusts breed most successfully in wet weather,rain in the semiarid regions inhabited by the desert locust provides ideal breeding conditions for a large increase in population.This increase must be repeated several times in neighboring breeding areas before enough locusts crowd together to form a swarm.As the supply of green,palatable food plants decreases to ward the end of the rainy season,the locusts become even more concentrated.They move on to other warm,damp,verdant places where they settle,feed,and reproduce.As this process is repeated a swarm eventually develops.Plagues are unpredictable and irregular because the meteorological patterns favorable to crowding are themselves irregular.36.The passage deals primarily with desert locust swarms and their____ .A)plaguesB)reproductionC)formationD)unpredictability37.According to the author,which of the following is NOT an important factor in the growth of desert locust swarms?A)An abundant food supply.B)Large population increases.C)Rain in the semiarid regions.D)The gregarious nature of locusts.38.According to the passage,a decrease in the number of palatable food plants causes ____ .A)a decrease in the number of locusts?B)death to the local locust populationC)a heavier concentration of locusts?D)increased breeding of locusts39.It can be inferred from the passage that in periods of little or no rain the locust population becomes____ .A)smallerB)denserC)more activeD)more unpredictable40.The next paragraph would most probably deal with ____.A)the gregarious nature of locustsB)rain patterns in the desertC)the type of food plants preferred by locustsD)the control of locust plagues

Part Ⅱ Reading ComprehensionPassage One【文章大意】文章讲述了美国的工作狂(workaholic)这一现象及其成因。他们痴迷工作是因为追求上进,实现个人价值。如此着迷工作,连外国人都留下美国人少有时间休闲和处理个人关系的印象,随后作者又讲述了人们对工作狂的不同看法,并说明工作狂支持着美国文化中注重成绩、效率和结果的价值观。
21.D 本文第一段叙述美国人对工作的重视及为什么有些美国人要当工作狂;第二段介绍人们对工作狂的不同看法。显然D项为正确答案。22.A 答案见原文第一段句首:to increase their status,financial position,and sense of self-worth 与 who want very much to have a self-improvement意义相同。23.D 原文“…foreign visitors have observed that Americans spend an excessive amount of time working…”与B项“发现美国人工作很刻苦”意义相同。24.B “workaholics”是被迫所为,但与C项的…by someone else不符。“workaholics”意为“工作狂”,所以B项正确。25.A 见原文最后一句:美国人重视成就、效率和高产,正是workaholic在维持着这种价值观。这说明作者对如此醉心于工作是持肯定态度的。
Passage Two【文章大意】该文简要介绍了奥林匹克运动会的起源和古希腊奥运会的一些情况。比如公元前776年第一届奥运会是为纪念希腊主神宙斯在奥林匹斯山脚举行的希腊人崇尚身体的健美和力量。比赛获胜者不是得到奖牌而是在头上戴橄榄圈并唱颂扬他们的诗歌。比赛是为了友谊,因而正在进行的战争需在奥运会期间停止。
26.A 选项A,取胜者把橄榄枝叶圈戴在自己头上。文中第一段说The winners were greatly honored by having olive wreaths placed on their heads.优胜者得到极大的尊重,人们把橄榄枝编成的环戴在他们头上。having olive wreath placed 不是指他自己戴上,而是由别人给他们戴上。A项与文意不符,是正确答案。B, 这项运动会在希腊每四年举行一次,可以从中找到暗示:The participants competed every four years……,C, 为了参加运动会,战争被中止。文中第一段末尾处有直接说明……war in progress were stopped to allow the games to take place。D.歌颂胜利者的诗被谱成歌曲。文中第一段也有说明:The winners,were greatly honored by ...having poems sung about their deeds.
27.B 文中第一句话说明了本题答案:In 776 BC,the first Olympic games were held...to honor the Greeks’ chief god,Zeus.28.D 这是一道简单的数学运算题,从公元前776年到现在(2003年)与D答案最为接近。因此D为正确选项。29.C 见原文第一段:Therefore,contests in running,jumping,discus and javelion throwing,boxing,and horse and chariot racing were held...,可以看出在本题四项之中,只有C。skating(滑冰)未被包括在内。因此C项是正确答案。30.B 文中第一段第二句话:The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and strength in their education of youth 希腊人在教育青年人时,注重培养他们匀称的体格和力量。这和他们对宙斯(Zeus)的崇拜合起来成为他们举行运动会的原因。文中第二段:The Greeks attached so much importance to these games that they calculated time in four-year cycles “Olympaids” dating 776 BC 希腊人非常重视这项运动会,他们从公元前776年算起就把四年一届的奥运会周期称为“Olympaids”。可见希腊人非常热爱运动。B项与这一说法相同,符合题意为正确答案。A.他们好斗。与文中意思不符,文中说希腊人是爱好和平的民族,因为橄榄枝叶圈是和平的象征,为了运动会战争都可以让开。C.他们喜欢众多的礼仪。文中并无说明。D.他们不会算数,因此用“Olympiads”(奥运会四年期)来计算时间。属无稽之谈,如果不会算数,他们怎么知道两届奥运会的间隔期是四年。
Passage Three
【文章大意】文章首先介绍了最早的backpacker是美国印第安人和西部拓疆者,他们backpacking是为了生存和实现他们的“美国梦”。然后说明今天backpacking已被作为一项娱乐活动,因为它考验一个人的耐力、技巧、惊险刺激;同时也由于它不受人数、时间限制,易于开展。接着讲述如何进行这一运动。最后点明它的益处在于使参加者“return to the age of technology with the courage and independence of Natty Bumppo,who did indeed belong to the age of the frontier.”即能让人充满勇气和带有真正西部拓疆者的独立精神。
31.D 本文开头简要介绍 backpacking这种运动的起源。但这不是文中主要讨论的内容。因为作者接下来重点阐述了backpacking 做为一种现代娱乐活动深受很多人喜爱是因为它可以考验一个人的耐力和生存技巧,不受时间限制等等。可以看出,文中讨论的重点是backpacking作为一种现代娱乐活动为什么会深受许多人喜爱。D.答案与此意相同,说明了文章的中心议题,是正确答案。
32.B 见原文开头:Except for the Indians,the earliest backpackers in America were frontiersmen…除了 Indians(印第安人),frontiersmen (未开发的边疆居民)是美国最早的backpackers这说明Indians才是美国最早的backpackers,因此B项是正确选项。33.D 见原文开头……the earliest backpackers……,who roamed the wilderness looking either for necessities such as food and water or for sources of wealth such as fur and god……最早的backpackers……,游荡在原野里,寻找诸如水和食物这样的生存必需品或者象毛皮和黄金之类的财源。因此说早期的backpackers最需要最感兴趣的是生活的必需品,因为生存是第一需要,而他们生存的依靠就是在漫游中不断地寻找生存的基本需要。D项与此意相符,是正确答案。A.实现“美国梦”的途径,文中说:For them (early backpackers) backpacking was...a means of achieving what one day would be called“the American Dream”注意文中用的过去将来时态,也就是说“American Dream” 这个概念早期的 backpackers 还没有,是在他们以后的人发明的。因此,此说法与文意不符。B.生活中的娱乐。文中说:For them (ealy backpackers) backpacking was a way of survival 对于早期的backpackers来说,背着背包漫游是他们生存的手段。因此不能说他们是为了寻找生活中的乐趣。另外,后文也提到:Today,however,many people enjoy backpacking as a recreational activity,这说明,把背看背包漫游当作一种娱乐活动是现代人的事。C.从紧张的生活中解脱。文中说明,这是早期的backpackers的一种生存方式,也就是他们的生存活动,因而不能说是他们生活中紧张的解脱。34.A A.它(backpacking)可以帮助人们与自然建立一种联系。文中说:shouldering?a pack and leaving behind the world of telephone,television and traffic promise an exciting experience.Testing one’s stamina and skill is challenging a sense of one’s place in the natural world can be rewarding 挎上背包,把由电话,电视和交通构成的世界抛诸身后,你将有一次激动人心的经历,做为回报,你将通过挑战人在自然界的位置来检验自身的耐力和技巧。这说明在这项活动中,人是融于自然的,它在人和自然之间建立了一种直接的联系,这也正是这项活动的好处所在。因此A.答案是正确的。B.它是一种群体活动,可以治疗一个人的孤独感;C.它不像其它活动一样富有挑战性;D.它不要求人们决定自己的目标。均非文中讨论的内容。35.C 见原文最后一句:Their outing will enable them to return in a short time to the age of technology with the courage and independence of Natty Bumppo,who did indeed belong to the age of frontier.短暂的出游活动可以使他们很快回到Natty Buppo (生活)的技术与勇气和与之相结合的时代,他实实在在是属于边疆时代的人。C.一个勇敢的人,符合文中的叙述,是正确的答案。A.一个美国民族英雄;B.海明威小说中的主人公;D.一名印第安士兵。文中均未提到。
Passage Four【文章大意】本文讲述了沙漠蝗灾是如何形成的,而最重要的两个因素就是气象条件 (meteorology)和群集性(gregariousness)。文中最后讲到蝗灾是不规则和不可测的,因为对群集有利的气候条件本身就是不规则的。全文按总分总结构成文,层次分明、清晰。
36.C 通读全文,可以看出,本文重点描述的不是蝗虫集结成群带来的后果(plague),因此,A被排除。蝗虫的再繁殖(reproduction)与蝗虫灾害的不可预见性(unpredictability)只是作者所涉及到的两个细节,显然不能作为该短文的主题。本文作者着重描述了蝗灾的形成过程,因此C项为正确答案。37.A 半干旱地区的降雨(rain in the semiarid regions)为蝗虫的大量繁殖提供了必要的条件:蝗虫数量的增加(population increases)为蝗虫的大量集结提供了前提条件,蝗虫喜群居(the gregarious nature)是蝗虫大量集结的基本条件。这三点对蝗虫大量集结非常重要,因此B.C.D项与题意不符。A.丰富的食源(abundant food supply),不能成为蝗虫集结的必要条件,因为蝗虫只有在感到食源不足时才集结迁移。故A项符合题意,为正确答案。38.C 见原文“ As the supply of ...palatable food plants decreases toward?the end of the rainy season,the locusts become even more concentrated.”
39.A 原文中说:“Locusts breed most successfully in wet weather.”可以推出干旱的地方蝗虫数量肯定更少。因此A项符合题意。40.D 本段讨论的重点是蝗灾的形成原因,据此可以推知本文的主题应是与蝗灾有关的话题。根据文章结构安排应遵循向高潮推进的顺序(dramatic order)这一原则,下一段讨论的内容应是如何控制蝗灾。故此D项为正确答案。
Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and structure41.A 译文:你现在对止痛药的依赖越少,从长远来看,对你的身体健康越有益。解析:A.in the long run 从长远的观点来看;B.on second thought 进一步考虑后;C.at full speed 以全速;D.for various reasons 以各种不同的原因,均与题意不符。

Part Ⅴ? WritingChanges in the Ways People Spent Their HolidaysThe ways people spent their holidays have changed greatly. In 1990,40% of people spent their holidays at home,the figure dropping to 9% in 1995. It seemed that people were becoming more and more mobile,and they wanted to explore entertainment in the outside world.The seaside still had its attraction to people.The rate dropped slightly from 38% in 1990 to 31% in 1995.But there might be a further decrease in the future because of the pollution.The table shows that a great number of people spent their holidays travelling abroad.The rate in 1995 doubled as compared with 1990.With the increase of income,more and more people could afford and would go abroad to spend their holidays.The table also shows another tendency:the rate of camping was rising from 10% in?1990 to 36% in 1995. The reason may be that the real beauty of nature is being rediscovered,and people are getting more and more eager to return to nature.
