【要点综述】查尔斯·普拉姆在越战期间是一名喷 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )气式战机飞行员，在一次任务中，他的飞机被地空导弹击落。他被弹射了出去。唯一能够从死亡的边缘挽救他的就是随身带的降落伞，所以他祈祷着伞能打开。结果，降落伞顺利打开了，查尔斯得以活着着陆。查尔斯没有忘记为他打包降落伞的人，正是这些平凡的人给了他渡过险境的机会和力量。
1．B 根据上下文可知，他的飞机是被一发地空导弹所摧毁，而不是被跟踪、发现或窥视。故选B。
2．C 根据下文的“…spent s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ix years in prison in Vietnam.”可知，Plumb是“被捕”了，而不是“战亡”或“释放”。“受伤”的结果并不意味着要坐牢。故选C。
3．A 他得以从那场磨难中逃生，现在向人们讲 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )述他从那次经历中所学到的东西。只有lecture才和about搭配表示“向人讲述”之意。故选A。
4．C 由第一段第一句可知Plumb是一个“jet fighter pilot”，所以是flew。故选C。
5．D 由第一段第二句可知，Plumb的飞机 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )被地空导弹摧毁，故是“被击落”。take down记下； look down俯视； set down放下； shoot down击落。
6．D 由后文可知，这个人的工作是在船上捆扎(pack)降落伞，而不是检查(check)。故选D。
7．A Plumb又惊讶又感激地倒吸了一口气，惊讶是这个人竟然认得他，感激的是他捆扎的降落伞挽救了自己的生命。故选A。
8．B 由Plumb assured him可知，Plumb说话时的语气是非常肯定的，应用surely。故选B。
9．C 由上文的“You…jet figh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier(航空母舰) Kitty Hawk.”及下文的sailor可推断出“Kitty Hawk”应是一艘航空母舰。在船上应用介词on。aboard是“登船”之意。故选C。
10．B Plumb不跟那个人打招呼与“一个人是飞行员，另一个人是水手”之间是因果关系，故选B。
11．A 由下文“Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent…”可知选A。
12．D 由下文可知，他应细心地整理好每一个降落伞。故选D。
13．C 这里指他手里都掌握着一个素不相识的人的命运。故选C。
14．D 由上文的“…about…”可知应是“观众”。故选D。
15．C 根据上文“‘I…your parachute，’ the man replied.”可知应选C。
16．A 每个人的生活中都有一个人，这个人为他们提供渡过难关所需要的东西。故选A。
17．B 由下文的mental， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )emotional，spiritual等词可知，除了心理上的、感情上的、精神上的降落伞之外，他还需要“物质上的”降落伞。故选B。
18．C 他依赖所有这些支撑力量才得以安全降落。上一句中提到的parachute均为比喻用法，并不是指真正的降落伞。故选C。
19．B
20．B 他的经历提醒我们所有人，去发现那些平日里为我们捆扎降落伞的人，是他们给了我们走过风雨的力量。故选B。

Directions: For ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The health-ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the 1 roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a(n) 2 buyer with various inducements (引诱) of price, quality, and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition,
3 , is not common in most of the health-care industry.
In the health-care ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the
4 relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician—and even then there may be no real choice– it is the physician who usually makes all significant 5 decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday,” whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is a rare and experienced patient who will 6 such decisions made by experts or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as 7 .
This is part ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )icularly 8 in relation to hospital care. The physician must give evidence of the 9 for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be allowed to leave. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor’s judgments that are 10 . Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer.” As a consequence, the 11 represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.
Although usually t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )here are in this situation four recognizable participants — the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) — the physician makes the 12 for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally 13 most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital; and for the most part the patient plays a 14 role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care 15 are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy directed at patients or the general are relatively ineffective.
1. A. peculiar B. normal C. minor D. vital
2. A. eager B. potential C. overseas D. reluctant
3. A. moreover B. therefore C. however D. instead
4. A. ordinary B. permanent C. stable D. intense
5. A. difficult B. conscious C. early D. purchasing
6. A. accept B. confirm C. challenge D. announce
7. A. common B. serious C. mild D. preventable
8. A. significant B. rare C. changeable D. alternative
9. A. choice B. need C. disadvantage D. importance
10. A. balanced B. accurate C. independent D. final
11. A. patient B. medical staff C. government D. insurance agent
12. A. academic B. typical C. unique D. essential
13. A. reduces B. sends C. loses D. meets
14. A. traditional B. clear C. passive D. dominant

For many peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work, they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspa pers and magazines: a never ending flood of words. In __1__ a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend __2__ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are __3__ readers. Most of us develop poor reading __4__ at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency __5__ in the actual stuff of language itself—words. Taken individually, words have __6__ meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. __7__， however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to __8__ words or passages. The tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which __9__ down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.
To overcome ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an __10__， which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate __11__ the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, __12__ word by word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible.

【要点综述】 阅读本来是一个愉悦身心的活动，但是忙碌的工作使人们远离了阅读所带来的乐趣。本文就如何开展有效的快速阅读进行了简单的说明。
1．D 本句意思是“如果想谋得一份差事” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。apply需加for，意思是“申请”；do做； offer提供。此三项均不符合题意，只有get(获得)适合。
2．A 本句意为“快速阅读与理解的能力 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，是关系到成败的关键所在”。只有quickly与原意吻合。easily容易地；roughly 粗略地； decidedly果断地。
3．C 由下文“Most of us develop poor reading…”可知此处选poor。其他选项不妥。
4．B 此处的意思是“大多数人早期养成 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )不良的读书习惯”。因此选habit“习惯”。training 训练，培训；situation形势；custom风俗习惯。
5．A 此处说的是“主要的困难在 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )于语言的自身要素，即单词”。combine联合；touch接触；involve包括。这三项的词义与原文不符。而lie与in构成搭配，意为“在于”。
6．C 这里的意思是“如果 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )单个地看这些词，它们并没有什么意义”。some一些，少量的；a lot of许多；dull单调的。此三项不合题意。只有little(很少)是否定词，合乎逻辑。
7．D 此句指“作者对未受过阅读训 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )练的人的不良习惯感到遗憾”。fortunately幸运地；actually事实上；logically合乎逻辑地。unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句意。
8．B 此处意思为“在阅读时经常重读(反复读)”。因此，选reread“重读”。reuse再使用；rewrite改写；recite背诵。
9．C scale down ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )按比例减少；cut down削减。此两项不合题意。 measures不能与down搭配。只有slow down“放慢”能否与后面的speed搭配。
10．A 根据上文可知，训练快速阅读所 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )使用的工具必然与提高阅读速度有关，因此选accelerator (快读器)。actor演员；amplifier放大器；observer观察者。
11．D 前面的faster决定了此处应当选than，构成比较级。
12．C 此句意为“快速阅读器迫使你加快阅 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )读速度，使你再也不能逐字阅读，回顾前文内容或者默读。”enable相当于make possible；lead引导；indicate指出，表明。都不合题意。只有make (使得)最合适。
13．A 与前半句中的n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ot only相呼应，构成句式not only…but…“不仅……而且……”，只能选but，而nor、or或for均不能与前面的not only搭配。
14．B take与后面的for instance构成短语，意为“以……为例”，其他三项不能与for instance构成搭配。
15．D 此处意为“在较短时间内，读完众多的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )材料”。refer to参考；go over复习；set about着手做。此三项均不合题意；只有get through “完成”最恰当。

After the van ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) arrived，the other runners got out and lined up outside the van，chanting his name，“Ryan！Byan！” Then all of the people__14__in，“Ryan！Ryan！” The lift then lowered Ryan to the ground. There he was，in all his__15__.

The flame united us all and showed that love is really what makes this small world go around after all.

【要点综述】作者以友善的态度真诚地对待 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一个外表很脏但为她开门的男人，并为他提供了一份食物和一个拥抱，由此感动了对方。文章告诉我们，尽管生活中有很多东西无法亲自选择，但是我们可以选择什么时候去表达感谢。
1．B 通过后面and可知，只有messy合适，意为“杂乱的”。
2．B appearance“外表”，上文描写的是男人的外表，故选B。
3．D smell意为“味道难闻”，根据语境可以选出答案。
4．A beyond意为“在……范围外”。通过上下文可知，孩子的母亲不想让孩子以貌取人，而应该关注外表以外的东西，所以选beyond。
5．B ignore“故意忽视不理睬”，通过前后文可知，当人们进入饭店的时候，许多人都无视这个外表很脏的男人。
6．D example“榜样”，下文有直接对应，且set an example也为常用搭配。
7．D tough困难的；stressful ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )紧张的，压力重的；accessible可靠近的，可进入的；awkward尴尬的，笨拙的，别扭的。
8．A 因为路途曲折，孩子们需要晕车药，所以作者需要去车里取药给孩子吃，所以选A。
9．B 正在这时，这个男人 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )为一对夫妇开门，这对夫妇快速从他身旁走过甚至都没有承认他的存在，即无视他的存在，正好与上文呼应，表明人们看都不愿意看这个男人，更不用说是礼貌友好地待他了。
10．C 让那对夫妇先进来，然后作者向外走的时候对那个男人大声地说了声“谢谢”。
11．B 男人说饭店不允许他进入，除非他买食物。
12．A “我”回来把那个 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )男人的事情告诉了家人。deed和demand显然不对，而experience一般指过去的经历，故也不合适。故选择story。
13．C 因为家人不知道作者为什么在他们吃饱了的情况下又加了一份汤和三明治，所以选puzzled “迷惑不解”。
14．D take a trip、make ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a trip意为“旅行，外出”，start a trip意为“开始旅行”，因为文章开头明确说明作者和家人是在去往加利福尼亚的trip中停下来吃午饭，所以再次上路，应该选D“继续”。
15．A 他伸出手和“我”握手，“我”感激地接受了。reach out 意为“伸出”。
16．D notice留心，注意到。
17．A 接下来发生的事情更让人惊讶，“我”给了那个男人一个拥抱。
18．B rolling表示眼泪不停地流下来，很形象。
19．C “我”对一个男人表达了感谢，仅仅就是因为他为“我”开门，并且“我”也感谢这个机会，因为它让“我”以身作则教育了“我”的孩子。
20．C 作者感谢这件事情，因为这是一个教育孩子的好机会。

Directions: For e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ach blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The health-care ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the 1 roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a(n) 2 buyer with various inducements (引诱) of price, quality, and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition,
3 , is not common in most of the health-care industry.
In the heal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the
4 relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician—and even then there may be no real choice– it is the physician who usually makes all significant 5 decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday,” whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is a rare and experienced patient who will 6 such decisions made by experts or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as 7 .
This is parti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cularly 8 in relation to hospital care. The physician must give evidence of the 9 for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be allowed to leave. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor’s judgments that are 10 . Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer.” As a consequence, the 11 represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.
Although u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sually there are in this situation four recognizable participants — the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) — the physician makes the 12 for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally 13 most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital; and for the most part the patient plays a 14 role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care 15 are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy directed at patients or the general are relatively ineffective.
1. A. peculiar B. normal C. minor D. vital
2. A. eager B. potential C. overseas D. reluctant
