Spiders
Spiders can be distinguished from other Arachnids because the prosoma (combined head and thorax) is only separated from the opisthosoma (abdomen) by a narrow waist,in other Arachnids the whole body appears to be much more of a single unit,All spiders produce silk,but only some construct webs to catch their homes and to protect their eggs,
All spiders possess poison glands but very few of them are dangerous to humans,of the 600+species in Britain only 12 (at least one of these is a recent human assisted colonist) are strong enough to pierce the human skin,and apart from allergies,none are more dangerous than a common wasp,Most spiders have 8 eyes (though some have 6,4,2 or 0),as well as 8 legs,(by the way if you count the claws as separate leg section [which you shouldn’t really] then their legs have 8 parts as well [coxa,trochanter,femur,patella,tibia,tarsus,metatarus,claws]) There are more than 32000 known species of spider in the world,No human being has ever been officially recorder as having died as the result of a ‘tarantula’ bite,
All spiders are carnivorous and feed only on liquids,i.e,their preys natural juices and the breakdown products of external digestion (meaning they spit,exude or inject digestive juices onto/into their prey ad suck up the resulting soup),So why not invite some to your next social do?
What’s In a Name
The word ‘Arachnida’ comes from the Greek word ‘Arachne’ who was the daughter of Idmon of Colophon in Lydia,a dyer by trade,Arachne herself was a weaver,the best in all the known world,However in a foolish moment she challenged Athene,the daughter of Zeus and goddess of,among other things,waving to a weaving competition,Arachne wove so perfect a cloth that she tore it to shreds,Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself,Athene stirred to remorse at the knowledge of what her anger had wrought turned the rope Arachne had used to hang herself into a web and Arachne herself into a spider so that the beauty of her spinning should not be lost to the world ever again,
The Great Household Spider Safari
There are just over six hundred different sorts of spider in the British Isles,But of these only a handful are commonly found in houses,At the front of the head are a pair of what appear to be small legs,These are called palps and are used to guide food to the spider’s mouth,The front of the head also has a group of six or eight eyes,On the underside of the body at the rear,are four or six small conical bumps or cylinders,There are the spinnerets from which the spider produces the silk to make its webs,
Telling male and female spiders apart is easily done by looking at their palps,Males have swollen ends to their palps which makes them look as if they are wearing boxing gloves,these are often strange shapes if looked at with a hand lens,Females have normal looking palps that are not swollen at the ends,
The largest spider is the Goliath spider,the female of which grows to reach a leg span of ten inches,The largest spider in Britain is the Cardinal spider which is a close cousin of Tim Tegenaria,Females can achieve a leg span of four and a half inches,It is known as the Cardinal spider as it was common in Hampton Court when Cardinal Wolsey lived there,The sight of these long legged spiders wandering around the palace at night used to frighten him,So far 32000 different kinds of spider have been discovered from all over the world,Britain has 630 different kinds of spider of which 250 are tiny Money spiders,The smallest of which has a body less than one millimeter long,
1.All the silk produced by spiders construct webs to catch their food
2.Not all the poison glands possessed by spiders are dangerous to human beings,
3.Spiders often kill humans in Britain when they pierce human skin,
4.After seeing her enemy commits suicide,Arachne turned Athena into a spider,

Passage One rn
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage,
In the early days of the internet,many people worried that as people in the rich world embraced new computing and communications technologies,people in the poor world would be left stranded on the wrong side of a,digital divide.” Yet the debate over the digital divide is founded on a myth — hat plugging poor countries into the internet will help them to become rich rapidly,
This is highly unlikely,because the digital divide is not a problem in itself,but a symptom of deeper,more important divides,of income,development and literacy,Fewer people in poor countries than in rich ones own computers and have access to the internet simply because they are too poor,are illiterate,or have other more immediate concerns,such as food,health care and security,So even if it were possible to wave a magic wand and cause a computer to appear in every household on earth,it would not achieve very much,a computer is not useful if you have no food or electricity and cannot read,Yet such Wand-waving — through the construction of specific local infrastructure projects such as rural telecenters — is just the sort of thing for which the UN\'s new fund is intended,
This sort of thing is the wrong way to go about addressing the inequality in access to digital technologies,it is treating the symptoms,rather than the underlying causes,The benefits of building rural computing centers,for example,are unclear,Rather than trying to close the divide for the sake of it,the more sensible goal is to determine how best to use technology to promote bottom-up development,And the answer to that question turns out to be remarkably clear,by promoting the spread not of PCs and the Internet,but of mobile phones,
57,What is the main idea of this passage? rn
A) Plugging poor countries into the Internet will help them to become rich rapidly,
B) Poor countries should be given more basic devices other than advanced ones,
C) Rich countries should help poor ones becoming rich,
D) People in poor countries cannot afford devices such as computer,
58,What did the author mean by referring \"digital divide.\" (Line 3,Para,1)?
A) Digital technology will make the gap between rich world and poor world wider,
B) Digital technology will divide people into rich and poor world,
C) People can be divided digitally,
D) To divide people in digital world is wrong,
59,We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that,
A) people in poor countries cannot use computer because of illiteracy,
B) poor people cannot use computers,
C) there would be no magic to cause a computer to appear in every household on earth,
D) people in poor countries need more basic living conditions than computers,
60,Considering the following sentences,which one would the author most agree?
A) Digital technology is useless,
B) Digital divide will help poor countries becoming rich,
C) Poor people need more immediate concerns,such as food,health care and security,
D) Mobile phones should be promoted firstly,
61,The following passage will probably be,
A) How to promote using of mobile phones,
B) How to use technology to promote bottom-up development,
C) The benefits of building rural computing centers,
D) How to meet the need of food,health and security in poor countries,
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage,
Space is a dangerous place,not only because of meteors (流星 ) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars,The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth,Light gets through,and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat,Heat,too,makes our environment endurable,Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space,but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off,As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft,if they are inside,do prevent a lot of radiation damage,
Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space,The unit of radiation is called,rem”,Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 reins has been agreed on,The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage — a person may feel perfectly well,but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged,and this will no be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren,
Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high amount of rems,So far,no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported,but the Apollo missions have been quite short,We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere,working in a space laboratory,Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation,but no really effective ones have been found so far,
62,According to the first paragraph,the atmosphere is essential to man in that ____,
A) it protects him against the harmful rays from space
B) it provides sufficient light for plant growth
C) it supplies the heat necessary for human survival
D) it screens off the falling meteors
63,We know from the passage that ____,
A) exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal
B) the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming
C) radiation is avoidable in space exploration
D) astronauts in spacesuits needn\'t worry about radiation damage
64,The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members ____
A) is significant B) seems overestimated
C) is enormous D) remains unknown
65,It can be inferred from the passage that ____,
A) the Apollo mission was very successful
B) protection from space radiation is no easy job
C) astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren
D) radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers
66,The best title for this passage would be ____,
A) The Atmosphere and Our Environment
B) Research on Radiation
C) Effects of Space Radiation
D) Importance of Protection Against Radiation

Newspapers have one basic 70,to get the news as quickly as possible from its source,from those who make it to those who want to 71 it,Radio,telegraph,television,and 72 inventions brought competition for newspapers,So did the development of magazines and other means of communication,73,this competition merely spurred the newspapers on,They quickly made use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the 74 and thus the efficiency of their own operations,Today more newspapers are 75 and read than ever before,Competition also led newspapers to branch out to many other fields,Besides keeping readers 76 of the latest news,today\'s newspapers 77 and influence readers about politics and other important and serious matters,Newspapers influence readers\' economic choices 78 advertising,Most newspapers depend on advertising for their very 79,Newspapers are sold at a price that 80 even a small fraction of the cost of production,The main 81 of income for most newspapers is commercial advertising,The 82 in selling advertising depends on a newspaper\'s value to advertisers,This 83 in terms of circulation,How many people read the newspaper?

Part I
Global Warming
In these times,people all over the world are starting to learn the influence that global warming has on people everywhere,it is a sad truth that this issue is affecting not only merely the weather,but not everyday lives as well,
These are numerous reasons to explain this; here I would like to explore some of the most important ones,The development of modern industry must be the biggest reason,Carbon dioxide exerted from some factories is believed to be contributing to the accelerated warming our atmosphere,In addition,the way that we are consuming a greater and greater amount of energy in the process of our day-to-day lives is only exacerbating this problem,
Talking into consideration those factors discussed above,I believe there are at least two measures we can take,on one hand,the government should come up with more effective and stricter laws for the regulation of industrial emissions and byproducts,On the other hand,as individuals,we need to get into the habit of saving energy,With joint effort from every one of us,we can certainly hope for a lasting solution to this problem one day,
Part II
1.F.当出现all这种过于绝对的词语时，考生应该引起注意。一般这样的命题多数是不正确的。首段中有句话：“All spiders produce silk,but only some construct webs to catch their food”命题中all的说法过于绝对。
2.T.该命题是对原文第二段首句话的同义改写。
3.F.原文中第二段首句中写到，“of the 600+ spiders in Britain only 12 are strong enough to pierce the human skin”，因此并不是命题中说的当它们刺进人的皮肤会经常杀死人。
4.F．原文中说，“Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself.”注意代词this指代上面的句子，结合上一句一起理解，命题显然是错误的。
5,NG.文章中只出现过一次Tim Tegenaria，所以该题很好定位，即最后一段的第二句。可是文章中并没有出现tarantula spiders。
6.T.该命题定位在最后一段倒数第三句话处。
7.NG.首先定位Money spiders出现的位置是文章的最后的两句，可是并没有提到它是最小的。
8.32000
该题由关键词species of spider定位在第二段倒数第二句。
9.looking at their pales
该题定位在倒数第二段的首句。
10.the Goliath spider
扫读全文的时候注意有最高级的地方。由此我们可以将该题定位在文章最后一段的首句。

I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open,I found a barrel and pushed it under the window,As the barrel was very heavy,I made a lot of noise,But in the end,I managed to climb up and open the window,

Passage Three
When Iraq troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War,Scientists feared environmental disaster,Would black powder in the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun?
Many said,“No way; rain would wash the black power from the atmosphere,But in America,air sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles similar to those collected in Kuwait that didn’t catch fire,It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti desert,They trap insects and birds,and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants,
The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources,So far,the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface,
Nothing,however,stops the oil from evaporating,The resulting poisonous gases are choking nearby residents,
Officials are trying to organize a quick cleanup,but they are not sure how to do it,One possibility is to burn the oil,Get those black-powder detectors ready,

Section C
These days people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices,People who work in offices are frequently referred to as,white-collar workers” for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work,Such is human nature,that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers,This can give rise to curious situations,as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation,
When he got married,Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job,He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation,Every morning,he left home dressed in a smart black suit,He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman,Before returning home at night,he took a shower and changed back into his suit,Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustman kept his secret,Alf’s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will for Alf has just found another job,He will soon be working in an office,He will be earning only half as much as he used to,but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money,From now on,he will wear a suit all day and others will call him,Mr,Bloggs”,not,Alf”,

Passage 1
文章导读：许多人认为数字化给落后的国家带来了一个迅速发展的机会，而另一些人认为数字化加大了富国和穷国之间的距离，使穷国更加落后。作者分析了穷国的情况，认为穷国应该在更加基础的方面得到帮助，而不是迅速普及电脑等先进设施。
57,B 从第二段我们可以看出，作者认为，穷国的人民关心更加现实的东西，比如食物、医疗和安全保障。即使提供给他们许多先进的数字设备，他们也会因为缺乏知识或没有电力而不能用。所以与其提供这些，不如提供更加基础的援助，所以选B。第一段最后一句话说，作者认为只是数字技术使穷国变富是一个神话，所以A错误。作者只是从数字设备和基础设备两个方面比较，而不是笼统的说富国应该帮助穷国变富，所以C错，从第二段可以看出，作者说即使提供给世界上每个家庭一台计算机，也不会有太多作用，显然问题不在于能不能负担起计算机，所以D错。
58,A divide的意思是分离，隔开。digital divide 可译成“数字鸿沟”，即数字化使世界的贫富差距越来越大。所以A正确。在没有数字化之前，世界上就存在贫富分化。数字化的出现只是 使其差距更大，而不是产生的原因，所以B，C，D错误。
59,D 文章的大意是穷国更需要基础设施和帮助，而第二段作者通过举例和论证说明了论点，所以本题选D。第二段虽然说了，穷国的人民因为没有文化而不能使用计算机，但这不是全部的原因，所以A错。答案B过于笼统，只说穷人无法使用电脑，而文章说明了穷人不能使用电脑是有具体原因的，所以B错。让每个家庭都有一台电脑是作者的一个假设，用于说明穷人无法使用电脑的原因，而不是讨论这个假设可不可能实现，所以C错。
60,C 文章的第二段第二句说明了穷国更多关注的是\"food,health care and security.\" 所以选C。作者分析了数字化在现阶段大多数穷国没有太多好处，但是并没有否定数字技术的作用，所以A错误。在第一段的最后一句，作者说在给他们电脑和网络等高级设备之前，应该先晋级基础设备。在这里移动电话只是基础设施的一个例子，并不是说一定要先拥有移动电话才能用电脑，所以答案D错。
61,B 本题用排除法：移动电话只是一个例子来说明更加基础的设备，所以答案A错误。建造乡村电脑中心的好处与文章说明的问题无关，所以答案C错误。解决粮食、健康、安全保障的问题范围过于宽广与本文主旨无关，所以答案D错，最后得出答案为B。
Passage 2
文章导读：太空是个充满了神秘的地方，同时也藏着危险。其中来自外太空的辐射尤为恐怖，但是，看完这篇文章，你会相信聪明的人总会找到一些解决办法的。
62,A 问题问的是为什么大气层对人类是至关重要的。文章的第四句说到了大气层屏蔽了大量的外来射线。
63,B A，C，D选项内容在文章中均没有明确肯定，只有B对应了原文的第二段的第四句话---问题在于很难发现辐射对人的损伤，当事人当时可能感觉良好，但是他的遗传细胞可能受到损伤，将会影响到他的孩子，甚至后代。
64,D 从文章中我们得知，到现在为止还没有报告显示阿波罗号受到辐射损害，所以A，B，C选项均与文章意思相悖，只有D相对正确。
65,D 该题对应了原文的最后一段。文章说虽然到现在为止还没有报告显示阿波罗号受到辐射损害，但毕竟它登月的时间短。人类能否长时间接受辐射照射还是个未知数。防辐射的药虽然已经研制出来，但只能削减辐射对人类的损害，还谈不上根治。所以说防太空辐射不是容易的事情。
66,D 此文主要是谈辐射的危害大以及防辐射的一些措施。D最准确。

Spiders
Spiders can be distinguished from other Arachnids because the prosoma (combined head and thorax) is only separated from the opisthosoma (abdomen) by a narrow waist,in other Arachnids the whole body appears to be much more of a single unit,All spiders produce silk,but only some construct webs to catch their homes and to protect their eggs,
All spiders possess poison glands but very few of them are dangerous to humans,of the 600+species in Britain only 12 (at least one of these is a recent human assisted colonist) are strong enough to pierce the human skin,and apart from allergies,none are more dangerous than a common wasp,Most spiders have 8 eyes (though some have 6,4,2 or 0),as well as 8 legs,(by the way if you count the claws as separate leg section [which you shouldn’t really] then their legs have 8 parts as well [coxa,trochanter,femur,patella,tibia,tarsus,metatarus,claws]) There are more than 32000 known species of spider in the world,No human being has ever been officially recorder as having died as the result of a ‘tarantula’ bite,
All spiders are carnivorous and feed only on liquids,i.e,their preys natural juices and the breakdown products of external digestion (meaning they spit,exude or inject digestive juices onto/into their prey ad suck up the resulting soup),So why not invite some to your next social do?
What’s In a Name
The word ‘Arachnida’ comes from the Greek word ‘Arachne’ who was the daughter of Idmon of Colophon in Lydia,a dyer by trade,Arachne herself was a weaver,the best in all the known world,However in a foolish moment she challenged Athene,the daughter of Zeus and goddess of,among other things,waving to a weaving competition,Arachne wove so perfect a cloth that she tore it to shreds,Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself,Athene stirred to remorse at the knowledge of what her anger had wrought turned the rope Arachne had used to hang herself into a web and Arachne herself into a spider so that the beauty of her spinning should not be lost to the world ever again,
The Great Household Spider Safari
There are just over six hundred different sorts of spider in the British Isles,But of these only a handful are commonly found in houses,At the front of the head are a pair of what appear to be small legs,These are called palps and are used to guide food to the spider’s mouth,The front of the head also has a group of six or eight eyes,On the underside of the body at the rear,are four or six small conical bumps or cylinders,There are the spinnerets from which the spider produces the silk to make its webs,
Telling male and female spiders apart is easily done by looking at their palps,Males have swollen ends to their palps which makes them look as if they are wearing boxing gloves,these are often strange shapes if looked at with a hand lens,Females have normal looking palps that are not swollen at the ends,
The largest spider is the Goliath spider,the female of which grows to reach a leg span of ten inches,The largest spider in Britain is the Cardinal spider which is a close cousin of Tim Tegenaria,Females can achieve a leg span of four and a half inches,It is known as the Cardinal spider as it was common in Hampton Court when Cardinal Wolsey lived there,The sight of these long legged spiders wandering around the palace at night used to frighten him,So far 32000 different kinds of spider have been discovered from all over the world,Britain has 630 different kinds of spider of which 250 are tiny Money spiders,The smallest of which has a body less than one millimeter long,

Passage One rn
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage,
In the early days of the internet,many people worried that as people in the rich world embraced new computing and communications technologies,people in the poor world would be left stranded on the wrong side of a,digital divide.” Yet the debate over the digital divide is founded on a myth — hat plugging poor countries into the internet will help them to become rich rapidly,
This is highly unlikely,because the digital divide is not a problem in itself,but a symptom of deeper,more important divides,of income,development and literacy,Fewer people in poor countries than in rich ones own computers and have access to the internet simply because they are too poor,are illiterate,or have other more immediate concerns,such as food,health care and security,So even if it were possible to wave a magic wand and cause a computer to appear in every household on earth,it would not achieve very much,a computer is not useful if you have no food or electricity and cannot read,Yet such Wand-waving — through the construction of specific local infrastructure projects such as rural telecenters — is just the sort of thing for which the UN\'s new fund is intended,
This sort of thing is the wrong way to go about addressing the inequality in access to digital technologies,it is treating the symptoms,rather than the underlying causes,The benefits of building rural computing centers,for example,are unclear,Rather than trying to close the divide for the sake of it,the more sensible goal is to determine how best to use technology to promote bottom-up development,And the answer to that question turns out to be remarkably clear,by promoting the spread not of PCs and the Internet,but of mobile phones,
57,What is the main idea of this passage? rn
A) Plugging poor countries into the Internet will help them to become rich rapidly,
B) Poor countries should be given more basic devices other than advanced ones,
C) Rich countries should help poor ones becoming rich,
D) People in poor countries cannot afford devices such as computer,
58,What did the author mean by referring \"digital divide.\" (Line 3,Para,1)?
A) Digital technology will make the gap between rich world and poor world wider,
B) Digital technology will divide people into rich and poor world,
C) People can be divided digitally,
D) To divide people in digital world is wrong,
59,We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that,
A) people in poor countries cannot use computer because of illiteracy,
B) poor people cannot use computers,
C) there would be no magic to cause a computer to appear in every household on earth,
D) people in poor countries need more basic living conditions than computers,
60,Considering the following sentences,which one would the author most agree?
A) Digital technology is useless,
B) Digital divide will help poor countries becoming rich,
C) Poor people need more immediate concerns,such as food,health care and security,
D) Mobile phones should be promoted firstly,
61,The following passage will probably be,
A) How to promote using of mobile phones,
B) How to use technology to promote bottom-up development,
C) The benefits of building rural computing centers,
D) How to meet the need of food,health and security in poor countries,
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage,
Space is a dangerous place,not only because of meteors (流星 ) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars,The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth,Light gets through,and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat,Heat,too,makes our environment endurable,Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space,but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off,As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft,if they are inside,do prevent a lot of radiation damage,
Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space,The unit of radiation is called,rem”,Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 reins has been agreed on,The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage — a person may feel perfectly well,but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged,and this will no be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren,
Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high amount of rems,So far,no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported,but the Apollo missions have been quite short,We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere,working in a space laboratory,Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation,but no really effective ones have been found so far,
62,According to the first paragraph,the atmosphere is essential to man in that ____,
A) it protects him against the harmful rays from space
B) it provides sufficient light for plant growth
C) it supplies the heat necessary for human survival
D) it screens off the falling meteors
63,We know from the passage that ____,
A) exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal
B) the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming
C) radiation is avoidable in space exploration
D) astronauts in spacesuits needn\'t worry about radiation damage
64,The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members ____
A) is significant B) seems overestimated
C) is enormous D) remains unknown
65,It can be inferred from the passage that ____,
A) the Apollo mission was very successful
B) protection from space radiation is no easy job
C) astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren
D) radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers
66,The best title for this passage would be ____,
A) The Atmosphere and Our Environment
B) Research on Radiation
C) Effects of Space Radiation
D) Importance of Protection Against Radiation

Global Warming
In these times,people all over the world are starting to learn the influence that global warming has on people everywhere,it is a sad truth that this issue is affecting not only merely the weather,but not everyday lives as well,
These are numerous reasons to explain this; here I would like to explore some of the most important ones,The development of modern industry must be the biggest reason,Carbon dioxide exerted from some factories is believed to be contributing to the accelerated warming our atmosphere,In addition,the way that we are consuming a greater and greater amount of energy in the process of our day-to-day lives is only exacerbating this problem,
Talking into consideration those factors discussed above,I believe there are at least two measures we can take,on one hand,the government should come up with more effective and stricter laws for the regulation of industrial emissions and byproducts,On the other hand,as individuals,we need to get into the habit of saving energy,With joint effort from every one of us,we can certainly hope for a lasting solution to this problem one day,

1.F.当出现all这种过于绝对的词语时，考生应该引起注意。一般这样的命题多数是不正确的。首段中有句话：“All spiders produce silk,but only some construct webs to catch their food”命题中all的说法过于绝对。
2.T.该命题是对原文第二段首句话的同义改写。
3.F.原文中第二段首句中写到，“of the 600+ spiders in Britain only 12 are strong enough to pierce the human skin”，因此并不是命题中说的当它们刺进人的皮肤会经常杀死人。
4.F．原文中说，“Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself.”注意代词this指代上面的句子，结合上一句一起理解，命题显然是错误的。
5,NG.文章中只出现过一次Tim Tegenaria，所以该题很好定位，即最后一段的第二句。可是文章中并没有出现tarantula spiders。
6.T.该命题定位在最后一段倒数第三句话处。
7.NG.首先定位Money spiders出现的位置是文章的最后的两句，可是并没有提到它是最小的。
8.32000
该题由关键词species of spider定位在第二段倒数第二句。
9.looking at their pales
该题定位在倒数第二段的首句。
10.the Goliath spider
扫读全文的时候注意有最高级的地方。由此我们可以将该题定位在文章最后一段的首句。

Unfortunately,I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vemon was going to return,What was worse,it was already dark when I arrived at his house,I soon found the key Vernon gave me could not unlock either the front door or the back door,I was getting desperate,I kept thinking of what Vemon would say when he came back,

When Iraq troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War,Scientists feared environmental disaster,Would black powder in the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun?
Many said,“No way; rain would wash the black power from the atmosphere,But in America,air sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles similar to those collected in Kuwait that didn’t catch fire,It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti desert,They trap insects and birds,and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants,
The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources,So far,the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface,

Section C
These days people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices,People who work in offices are frequently referred to as,white-collar workers” for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work,Such is human nature,that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers,This can give rise to curious situations,as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation,
When he got married,Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job,He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation,Every morning,he left home dressed in a smart black suit,He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman,Before returning home at night,he took a shower and changed back into his suit,Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustman kept his secret,Alf’s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will for Alf has just found another job,He will soon be working in an office,He will be earning only half as much as he used to,but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money,From now on,he will wear a suit all day and others will call him,Mr,Bloggs”,not,Alf”,

Passage 1
文章导读：许多人认为数字化给落后的国家带来了一个迅速发展的机会，而另一些人认为数字化加大了富国和穷国之间的距离，使穷国更加落后。作者分析了穷国的情况，认为穷国应该在更加基础的方面得到帮助，而不是迅速普及电脑等先进设施。
57,B 从第二段我们可以看出，作者认为，穷国的人民关心更加现实的东西，比如食物、医疗和安全保障。即使提供给他们许多先进的数字设备，他们也会因为缺乏知识或没有电力而不能用。所以与其提供这些，不如提供更加基础的援助，所以选B。第一段最后一句话说，作者认为只是数字技术使穷国变富是一个神话，所以A错误。作者只是从数字设备和基础设备两个方面比较，而不是笼统的说富国应该帮助穷国变富，所以C错，从第二段可以看出，作者说即使提供给世界上每个家庭一台计算机，也不会有太多作用，显然问题不在于能不能负担起计算机，所以D错。
58,A divide的意思是分离，隔开。digital divide 可译成“数字鸿沟”，即数字化使世界的贫富差距越来越大。所以A正确。在没有数字化之前，世界上就存在贫富分化。数字化的出现只是 使其差距更大，而不是产生的原因，所以B，C，D错误。
59,D 文章的大意是穷国更需要基础设施和帮助，而第二段作者通过举例和论证说明了论点，所以本题选D。第二段虽然说了，穷国的人民因为没有文化而不能使用计算机，但这不是全部的原因，所以A错。答案B过于笼统，只说穷人无法使用电脑，而文章说明了穷人不能使用电脑是有具体原因的，所以B错。让每个家庭都有一台电脑是作者的一个假设，用于说明穷人无法使用电脑的原因，而不是讨论这个假设可不可能实现，所以C错。
60,C 文章的第二段第二句说明了穷国更多关注的是\"food,health care and security.\" 所以选C。作者分析了数字化在现阶段大多数穷国没有太多好处，但是并没有否定数字技术的作用，所以A错误。在第一段的最后一句，作者说在给他们电脑和网络等高级设备之前，应该先晋级基础设备。在这里移动电话只是基础设施的一个例子，并不是说一定要先拥有移动电话才能用电脑，所以答案D错。
61,B 本题用排除法：移动电话只是一个例子来说明更加基础的设备，所以答案A错误。建造乡村电脑中心的好处与文章说明的问题无关，所以答案C错误。解决粮食、健康、安全保障的问题范围过于宽广与本文主旨无关，所以答案D错，最后得出答案为B。
Passage 2
文章导读：太空是个充满了神秘的地方，同时也藏着危险。其中来自外太空的辐射尤为恐怖，但是，看完这篇文章，你会相信聪明的人总会找到一些解决办法的。
62,A 问题问的是为什么大气层对人类是至关重要的。文章的第四句说到了大气层屏蔽了大量的外来射线。
63,B A，C，D选项内容在文章中均没有明确肯定，只有B对应了原文的第二段的第四句话---问题在于很难发现辐射对人的损伤，当事人当时可能感觉良好，但是他的遗传细胞可能受到损伤，将会影响到他的孩子，甚至后代。
64,D 从文章中我们得知，到现在为止还没有报告显示阿波罗号受到辐射损害，所以A，B，C选项均与文章意思相悖，只有D相对正确。
65,D 该题对应了原文的最后一段。文章说虽然到现在为止还没有报告显示阿波罗号受到辐射损害，但毕竟它登月的时间短。人类能否长时间接受辐射照射还是个未知数。防辐射的药虽然已经研制出来，但只能削减辐射对人类的损害，还谈不上根治。所以说防太空辐射不是容易的事情。
66,D 此文主要是谈辐射的危害大以及防辐射的一些措施。D最准确。
