第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Telepathy: Mind-to-mind Contact
Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). It’s an instinct (本能) which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy.
We can either send or receive Telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending.
You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phones rings, but try “feeling” who is contacting you. Don’t guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn’t mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.
Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams had a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s unconscious mind.
Telepathy & Relationships. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind, specially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other’s mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child’s eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother’s deep desire to protect her child from harm.
56. Telepathy turns up when we ____.
A. sense a close friend in danger B. use the five senses together
C. recall things from our memory D. think of a stranger
57. You’re better at sending than receiving Telepathy if you ____.
A. can feel your mom is in danger B. receive a friend’s call as you wish
C. can tell who knocks at your door D. dream of a friend dreaming of you
58. Which is not the way to help people gain Telepathy?
A. Help them have a strong desire to communicate. B. Separate them all the time.
C. Help them link up their unconscious minds. D. Let them spend much time together.
B

In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest growing U. S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nation schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
62.While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students .
A. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English
B. are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character
C. till worry about unfair treatment in society
D. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents
63.What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?
A. A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.
B. Hard work and intelligence.
C. Parents’ help and a limited knowledge of English.
D. Asian culture and the American educational system.
64.Few Asian American students major in human sciences mainly because .
A. their English is not good enough
B. they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas
C. there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures
D. hey know little about American culture and society
65.Why do “both explanations” (Para. 3) worry Asian Americans?
A. They are afraid that they will again be isolated from American society in general.
B. People will think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.
C. Asian Americans will be a threat to other minorities.
D. American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.
D
How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家)Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.
“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior, ”she emphasizes.
Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life—it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.
According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.
“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat—they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”
66.From the paragraph we know that working women .
think cooking is especially complicated
do not share the same views with registered dietitians
are busy and not interested in cooking
D. are likely to eat healthfully
67.Orange juice is different from orange drink in that .
A. it contains only a small percentage of real juice
B. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real oranges
C. it is largely orange-colored sugar water
D. it produces nothing but calories
68.In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means .
A. an effort with no results
B. a search for a diet without fruits
C. a research on fruitless diet
D. a diet serving as medicine
69.Many women take it for granted, according to passage that .
A. a balanced diet can result in being fat
B. staying thin and healthy are both possible
C. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin
D. vitamins are some kind of substitutions for food
70.By “if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless”, the author means .
A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human life
B. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no value
C. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and minerals
D. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no use
E
Microwaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people?
Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (贯穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects.
To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm. ) ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw. / sq. cm.
In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate it’s on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical. )
While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.
71. Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?
A. A new heating system. B. A new microwave oven.
C. A popular technique. D. The magnetron.
72. According to paragraph 2, which of the following does not describe the characteristics of a microwave heater?
A. It directly heats people in a room. B. It heats walls and furniture in a room.
C. It is safe. D. It saves energy．
73. The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about______.
A. 20 mw. / sq. cm. B. 40 mw. / sq. cm.
C. 60 mw. / sq. cm. D. 85 mw. / sq. cm.
74. According to paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves?
A. The magnetron. B. The motion detector.
C. The microwave oven. D. The radiation-absorbing chemical.
75. Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with?
A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners.
B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.
C. Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers, who wish to protect their
lambs in winter.
D. Microwave heaters cannot be accepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe.

Passage 4
It is December thirty-first,2004,the time when the old year dies and the New Year is born.
Many Americans have parties at home and invite all their friends .Many of these events are noisy。People shout and sing.They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight.They kiss their husband or wife or the person they are with.They dance to music.Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home .They drink Champagne at midnight to welcome the New Year.
Some people drink too much alcohol at New Year’s Eve celebrations .This can lead to tragic results if a person drinks too much and then drives a car. The National Safety Council says hundreds of people die in road accidents during the holiday.
In recent years ,the danger of accidents has resulted in a new tradition called the “designated driver” One person among a group of friends drinks little or no alcohol during New Year’s Eve celebrations. Then this designated driver can safely drive the other people home. Many American cities also offer free taxi service on New Year’s Eve to take people home safely.
Other Americans observe the coming of the New Year at events without alcohol .More than 220 American cities hold thesse First Night celebrations. Artists in Boston Massachusetts started the tradition of First Night celebrations. In 1976.They wanted to observe the coming of a New Year.But they did not want to hold noisy drinking parties. So they organized, music, art and other events to observe the holiday.

Top Meal of the Day
A recent study shows that nearly half of the school kids do not eat breakfast. These teenagers tend to feel sleepy all day and have bad memories, so it is hard for them to get high marks in kinds of tests.
Some students who study late into the night choose to miss breakfast so that they can have a few extra minutes in bed. Others are given money to buy their breakfast on the way to school because their parents are too busy to prepare it for them. In addition, a few school girls want to stay slim and often go to school without breakfast.
In fact, the morning meal plays an important part. It can provide 30 percent of the whole day’s energy. For a creative mind and better judgment, school kids should start their day with a regular breakfast.
答案详解
1-5 BCBAB 6-10 ACACA 11-15 CBACB 16-17 CA
18．help with 19. telephone number 20. One week
21．A 提示：take a holiday“度假”，at present“目前”one 代替前面的a holiday.
22. C 提示：keep on意为“继续”。keep off意为“使离开”。keep up意为“保持，维持”。try to do sth意为“努力做某事”；try doing sth.意为“试着做某事（看行不行）”。
23. D 考查代词。原句出自关于中国将提高个人收入所得税起征额的一则新闻报道。用that指代前文出现的金额——800元。句意为:“中国于1994年起征个人收入所得税，当时仅有1％的人月收入超过800元，而今有60％左右的人月薪超过800元。”
24. A有范围的“最”用“best”，无范围的“最”用“most”，如：What do you like most? Sports. Oh, which sport do you like best then?。mostly的意思是“大部分的”。
25. C three more表示“再多三个”。
26.C 第一句话是说“那个男孩遭到了过于严重的惩罚”，第二个人说：“是的，但是我原本没有想到”，这是过去完成时的用法。B, D 选项中的And 的使用，和前面的Yes是矛盾的，因此不能选。
27.D 把I think作为插入语来看, 那么这句话是这样的: He has made another wonderful discovery, which (I think) is of great importance to science. , which引导的是一个非限定性定语从句。
28. C 由and连接的并列单数主语前分别有every，each，no修饰时，谓语动词用单数。另外，这句话是说孩子们被要求上学，所以要用被动语态。
29. C．考查习语。more than 意为“不仅仅”；not more than“不多于”；less than“少于”；no more than“仅仅，只”。
30. D 此空为不定式作定语，表将来，现在分词虽能作定语，但不表将来
31. 答案 D解答该题的关键是要注意有些形容词前加上the以后表示一类人用作主语以及 "one+and a half +复数名词"用作主语时的主谓一致关系。第一空the young 意思为"年轻人"表示复数意义，故谓语动词要用复数形式，且用主动语态；第二空 "one + and a half +复数名词"，常视为单数意义，谓语动词用单数形式，且用被动结构，选项B第一空为被动结构，不符合句子意思。。
32. 答案A 解答该题的关键是要注意由特殊疑问词what引导的主语从句作主语时的主谓一致关系。一般情况下，what引导主语从句，常表示单数意义，谓语动词用单数形式，但当它所指的具体内容是复数意义时，谓语动词要用复数形式。该题强调现在，用一般现在时态。。
33.D这句话的意思是“我清楚地记得我把它放回去了”，这就是在讲过去的一个事实，所以用过去时。
34. DNot particularly意为“不是特别”。其他三个选项都是所问非所答。
35. B 提示：句中的主语the three students与judge是逻辑上的动宾关系，即被动意义，故使用过去分词表被动意义，再者judge在句中的搭配为judge＋宾语＋形容词（判断……为……，认为……是……）。当judge用作不及物动词时，应使用judging from/by…
36. A 选 would 表示过去常常做的事，而且第38空后也有提示。
37. B 为了保持(身体的)平衡，见55空的提示。
38. D 此处选 stare 为“盯，凝视”之意，B、D两项表示看到的结果，而glance意为“一瞥”。
39. C 我与父亲常同行的路也就是往来于地铁站之间。
40. C 此处 which 引导非限制性定语从句，指前面的整件事。
41. D 此处 in spite of 意为“尽管”，引导让步状语从句。
42. A 从上文可知，父亲无论风雨病痛从未间断过。故用 miss。
43. C 选 at such times 表示在前文提到的遇到如此恶劣的天气时和困难的情况下。
44. D 此处的动作应为“拉”，故用 pull。
45. B 从后面的倒装看，此处意为“也不……”。
46. D 根据上下文选 look for，意为“寻找”。
47. C 现在我知道那是评判人的正确标准。
48. B 此处 even though 引导让步状语从句。
49. D 此处 one 属类指用法，指前文提到的“a good heart"。
50. A 此处用 keep sth. doing 表达“使……保持运转”之意。
51. C 我现在知道其实父亲通过我也间接地参与了一些事情，故选 joined in。
52. B 现在父亲已经不在了，用 gone 作表语，表示现在所处的状态。
53. D 此处为 unwillingness to do 的固定结构，并表达不愿被别人看见，故选D。
54. D 每当我在妒忌别的朋友的好运气的时候，故选 fortune。
55. A 与上文呼应，此处指我借助于父亲的力量重获 (心灵) 的平衡。
56.A. 文章第一段有“Telepathy is the ability to … emergency or need.”;文章第三段“telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency”。由上可知，答案A最为适合。
57.B. 文章第二段有“If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending”.由此可知，答案为B。
58.B. 文章最后一段有“The more people spend, time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind…”由此可知，B所述内容为错述的，所以答案应选B。
59.B. 从第一则新闻内容可知，这个小孩在三岁时受伤，现在14岁时终于可以得到肇事司机的保险公司的赔偿了。
60.C. 从第二则的内容和排行看，这两个地方的交通事故数量相同。
61.D. 四则内容中只有第四则提到关于如何防范交通事故的发生。
62.C 文章第三段第一句明确指出，“Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image.”此句中“feed a typical racial image”意为“培养了一种典型的种族形象”，即担心因与众不同更易受到歧视与孤立。因此C“仍然担心社会的不公正对待”为正确答案。
63.A 亚裔美国人成功的主要因素是数学基础坚实，亚洲文化历来重视教育。文章前两段分析了亚裔学生主要在理工科方面学业突出的原因，即有坚实的数学基础和父母的言传身教。B也是成功的因素之一，但文章并示提到；C中“a limited knowledge of English”不是主要原因；D中的“the American educational system”为所有学生提供的机会是均等的，不是亚裔学生成功的根本原因。
64.B 亚裔学生很少主修人文科学是因为担心会受到不公平对待。根据文章第一段倒数第二句“Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathermatics and science because they will be judged more objectively”可推断，对人文科学成就的评价带有主观因素，因而更容易受到不公正对等。A、C、D并不是主要原因。
65.A 从最后一段判断，亚裔美国学生担心自己的突出成就会使自己再次成为社会孤立的对象。因此A为正确答案。
66.C 从第一段可以知道职业妇女忙，对做饭不感兴趣，从第一段的“have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves”(即没有愿望也没有时间为她们自己做饭)可以看出C项正确。
67.B 橘汁和橘汁饮料的区别在于橘汁是自然的，有营养的，是直接从橘子中来的。橘汁和橘汁饮料的区别在第二段中曾经谈到过，即橘汁饮料“contains only a small percentage of real juice—the rest is largely colored sugar water”(只包含很少比例的真正橘汁——其他大都是加了色素的糖水)。因此，相对而言，橘汁是natural, nutritious and prepared from oranges(天然的、有营养的、直接从橘子中来的健康饮料)。
68.A a fruitless search 意思为“没有结果的努力”，文中第四段谈到“试图寻找一种可以包治百病，又能使你成为超人的食谱是徒劳的”。因此，a fruitless search表示毫无结果的努力。fruitless的引申意义为没有结果的，徒劳的。
69.D 许多妇女想当然地认为维他命是一种食物的代替品。文中第四段提到“As women,:we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food”。
70.D 通过引用“要是没有燃料，光有火花是不行的”。作者的意思是没有碳水化合物，蛋白质和脂肪，维他命和矿物质没有用处。文中最后一段在谈到碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂肪和维生素、矿物质的关系时，作者将碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂肪比作木材、燃料，维他命和矿物比作火柴、火花。引用专家的话说，“要是没有燃料，光有火花是不行的”。
71. A 文章第二段说明微波炉可以使人暖和，不必浪费能量给墙壁和家具加热。
72. B 文章第二段说明微波直接进入人的皮肤使人温暖，既安全又省能源。
73. B 本题为细节理解题。从“a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw./sq. cm.”可知。
74. A 从第四段 a motion detector would turn on the magnetron…可知答案为A。
75. C 最后一段暗示了答案。
76 places 77 to solve /of solving 78 friends 79 loud noises 80 caused by/resulted from
81 to drink(wine/alcohol) 82 offering 83 museums 84 concerts 85 shows/exhibitions
Top Meal of the Day
A recent study shows that nearly half of the school kids do not eat breakfast. These teenagers tend to feel sleepy all day and have bad memories, so it is hard for them to get high marks in kinds of tests.
Some students who study late into the night choose to miss breakfast so that they can have a few extra minutes in bed. Others are given money to buy their breakfast on the way to school because their parents are too busy to prepare it for them. In addition, a few school girls want to stay slim and often go to school without breakfast.
In fact, the morning meal plays an important part. It can provide 30 percent of the whole day’s energy. For a creative mind and better judgment, school kids should start their day with a regular breakfast.

Our usual walk was 39 the subway, 40 was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and 41 bad weather, he always never 42 a day.

A
Telepathy: Mind-to-mind Contact
Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). It’s an instinct (本能) which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy.
We can either send or receive Telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending.
You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phones rings, but try “feeling” who is contacting you. Don’t guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn’t mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.
Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams had a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s unconscious mind.
Telepathy & Relationships. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind, specially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other’s mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child’s eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this the person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother’s deep desire to protect her child from harm.
56. Telepathy turns up when we ____.
A. sense a close friend in danger B. use the five senses together
C. recall things from our memory D. think of a stranger
57. You’re better at sending than receiving Telepathy if you ____.
A. can feel your mom is in danger B. receive a friend’s call as you wish
C. can tell who knocks at your door D. dream of a friend dreaming of you
58. Which is not the way to help people gain Telepathy?
A. Help them have a strong desire to communicate. B. Separate them all the time.
C. Help them link up their unconscious minds. D. Let them spend much time together.
B
59. What does Passage① tell us about the boy?

60. What can we learn about Lee and Collier counties from Passage②?

61. Which passage would give more information on the prevention of road accidents?
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
C
In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest growing U. S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nation schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
62.While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students .
A. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English
B. are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character
C. till worry about unfair treatment in society
D. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents
63.What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?
A. A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.
B. Hard work and intelligence.
C. Parents’ help and a limited knowledge of English.

How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves (or for anyone else). Registered dietitian(营养专家)Barhara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.
“Go for nutrient dense foods,” she suggests, “foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice-the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can’t compare the value of these foods, the nutrient dense ones are so superior, ”she emphasizes.
Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life—it’s the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren’t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.
According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses, or make you superwoman is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.
“We need carbohydrates, protein and fat—they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are like the match, the spark, for the fuel,” she explains. “We need them all, but in a very different proportions. And if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless.”
66.From the paragraph we know that working women .
think cooking is especially complicated
do not share the same views with registered dietitians
are busy and not interested in cooking
D. are likely to eat healthfully
67.Orange juice is different from orange drink in that .
A. it contains only a small percentage of real juice
B. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real oranges
C. it is largely orange-colored sugar water
D. it produces nothing but calories
68.In Paragraph 4, “a fruitless search” means .
A. an effort with no results
B. a search for a diet without fruits
C. a research on fruitless diet
D. a diet serving as medicine
69.Many women take it for granted, according to passage that .
A. a balanced diet can result in being fat
B. staying thin and healthy are both possible
C. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin
D. vitamins are some kind of substitutions for food
70.By “if the fuel isn’t there, the spark is useless”, the author means .
A. carbohydrates, protein and fat are enough to support a human life
B. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no value
C. carbohydrates, protein and fat are as important as vitamins and minerals
D. without carbohydrates, protein and fat, vitamins and minerals are of no use

Microwaves may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people?
Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (贯穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects.
To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm. ) ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw. / sq. cm.
In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate it’s on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical. )
While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.
71. Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?
A. A new heating system. B. A new microwave oven.
C. A popular technique. D. The magnetron.
72. According to paragraph 2, which of the following does not describe the characteristics of a microwave heater?
A. It directly heats people in a room. B. It heats walls and furniture in a room.
C. It is safe. D. It saves energy．
73. The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about______.
A. 20 mw. / sq. cm. B. 40 mw. / sq. cm.
C. 60 mw. / sq. cm. D. 85 mw. / sq. cm.
74. According to paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves?
A. The magnetron. B. The motion detector.
C. The microwave oven. D. The radiation-absorbing chemical.
75. Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with?
A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners.
B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.
C. Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers, who wish to protect their
lambs in winter.
D. Microwave heaters cannot be accepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe.

Passage 4
It is December thirty-first,2004,the time when the old year dies and the New Year is born.
Many Americans have parties at home and invite all their friends .Many of these events are noisy。People shout and sing.They often blow on small noisemakers when the New Year arrives at midnight.They kiss their husband or wife or the person they are with.They dance to music.Other Americans spend a quiet evening at home .They drink Champagne at midnight to welcome the New Year.
Some people drink too much alcohol at New Year’s Eve celebrations .This can lead to tragic results if a person drinks too much and then drives a car. The National Safety Council says hundreds of people die in road accidents during the holiday.
In recent years ,the danger of accidents has resulted in a new tradition called the “designated driver” One person among a group of friends drinks little or no alcohol during New Year’s Eve celebrations. Then this designated driver can safely drive the other people home. Many American cities also offer free taxi service on New Year’s Eve to take people home safely.
Other Americans observe the coming of the New Year at events without alcohol .More than 220 American cities hold thesse First Night celebrations. Artists in Boston Massachusetts started the tradition of First Night celebrations. In 1976.They wanted to observe the coming of a New Year.But they did not want to hold noisy drinking parties. So they organized, music, art and other events to observe the holiday.

Top Meal of the Day
A recent study shows that nearly half of the school kids do not eat breakfast. These teenagers tend to feel sleepy all day and have bad memories, so it is hard for them to get high marks in kinds of tests.
Some students who study late into the night choose to miss breakfast so that they can have a few extra minutes in bed. Others are given money to buy their breakfast on the way to school because their parents are too busy to prepare it for them. In addition, a few school girls want to stay slim and often go to school without breakfast.
In fact, the morning meal plays an important part. It can provide 30 percent of the whole day’s energy. For a creative mind and better judgment, school kids should start their day with a regular breakfast.
答案详解
1-5 BCBAB 6-10 ACACA 11-15 CBACB 16-17 CA
18．help with 19. telephone number 20. One week
21．A 提示：take a holiday“度假”，at present“目前”one 代替前面的a holiday.
22. C 提示：keep on意为“继续”。keep off意为“使离开”。keep up意为“保持，维持”。try to do sth意为“努力做某事”；try doing sth.意为“试着做某事（看行不行）”。
23. D 考查代词。原句出自关于中国将提高个人收入所得税起征额的一则新闻报道。用that指代前文出现的金额——800元。句意为:“中国于1994年起征个人收入所得税，当时仅有1％的人月收入超过800元，而今有60％左右的人月薪超过800元。”
24. A有范围的“最”用“best”，无范围的“最”用“most”，如：What do you like most? Sports. Oh, which sport do you like best then?。mostly的意思是“大部分的”。
25. C three more表示“再多三个”。
26.C 第一句话是说“那个男孩遭到了过于严重的惩罚”，第二个人说：“是的，但是我原本没有想到”，这是过去完成时的用法。B, D 选项中的And 的使用，和前面的Yes是矛盾的，因此不能选。
27.D 把I think作为插入语来看, 那么这句话是这样的: He has made another wonderful discovery, which (I think) is of great importance to science. , which引导的是一个非限定性定语从句。
28. C 由and连接的并列单数主语前分别有every，each，no修饰时，谓语动词用单数。另外，这句话是说孩子们被要求上学，所以要用被动语态。
29. C．考查习语。more than 意为“不仅仅”；not more than“不多于”；less than“少于”；no more than“仅仅，只”。
30. D 此空为不定式作定语，表将来，现在分词虽能作定语，但不表将来
31. 答案 D解答该题的关键是要注意有些形容词前加上the以后表示一类人用作主语以及 "one+and a half +复数名词"用作主语时的主谓一致关系。第一空the young 意思为"年轻人"表示复数意义，故谓语动词要用复数形式，且用主动语态；第二空 "one + and a half +复数名词"，常视为单数意义，谓语动词用单数形式，且用被动结构，选项B第一空为被动结构，不符合句子意思。。
32. 答案A 解答该题的关键是要注意由特殊疑问词what引导的主语从句作主语时的主谓一致关系。一般情况下，what引导主语从句，常表示单数意义，谓语动词用单数形式，但当它所指的具体内容是复数意义时，谓语动词要用复数形式。该题强调现在，用一般现在时态。。
33.D这句话的意思是“我清楚地记得我把它放回去了”，这就是在讲过去的一个事实，所以用过去时。
34. DNot particularly意为“不是特别”。其他三个选项都是所问非所答。
35. B 提示：句中的主语the three students与judge是逻辑上的动宾关系，即被动意义，故使用过去分词表被动意义，再者judge在句中的搭配为judge＋宾语＋形容词（判断……为……，认为……是……）。当judge用作不及物动词时，应使用judging from/by…
36. A 选 would 表示过去常常做的事，而且第38空后也有提示。
37. B 为了保持(身体的)平衡，见55空的提示。
38. D 此处选 stare 为“盯，凝视”之意，B、D两项表示看到的结果，而glance意为“一瞥”。
39. C 我与父亲常同行的路也就是往来于地铁站之间。
40. C 此处 which 引导非限制性定语从句，指前面的整件事。
41. D 此处 in spite of 意为“尽管”，引导让步状语从句。
42. A 从上文可知，父亲无论风雨病痛从未间断过。故用 miss。
43. C 选 at such times 表示在前文提到的遇到如此恶劣的天气时和困难的情况下。
44. D 此处的动作应为“拉”，故用 pull。
45. B 从后面的倒装看，此处意为“也不……”。
46. D 根据上下文选 look for，意为“寻找”。
47. C 现在我知道那是评判人的正确标准。
48. B 此处 even though 引导让步状语从句。
49. D 此处 one 属类指用法，指前文提到的“a good heart"。
50. A 此处用 keep sth. doing 表达“使……保持运转”之意。
51. C 我现在知道其实父亲通过我也间接地参与了一些事情，故选 joined in。
52. B 现在父亲已经不在了，用 gone 作表语，表示现在所处的状态。
53. D 此处为 unwillingness to do 的固定结构，并表达不愿被别人看见，故选D。
54. D 每当我在妒忌别的朋友的好运气的时候，故选 fortune。
55. A 与上文呼应，此处指我借助于父亲的力量重获 (心灵) 的平衡。
56.A. 文章第一段有“Telepathy is the ability to … emergency or need.”;文章第三段“telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency”。由上可知，答案A最为适合。
57.B. 文章第二段有“If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending”.由此可知，答案为B。
58.B. 文章最后一段有“The more people spend, time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind…”由此可知，B所述内容为错述的，所以答案应选B。
59.B. 从第一则新闻内容可知，这个小孩在三岁时受伤，现在14岁时终于可以得到肇事司机的保险公司的赔偿了。
60.C. 从第二则的内容和排行看，这两个地方的交通事故数量相同。
61.D. 四则内容中只有第四则提到关于如何防范交通事故的发生。
62.C 文章第三段第一句明确指出，“Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image.”此句中“feed a typical racial image”意为“培养了一种典型的种族形象”，即担心因与众不同更易受到歧视与孤立。因此C“仍然担心社会的不公正对待”为正确答案。
63.A 亚裔美国人成功的主要因素是数学基础坚实，亚洲文化历来重视教育。文章前两段分析了亚裔学生主要在理工科方面学业突出的原因，即有坚实的数学基础和父母的言传身教。B也是成功的因素之一，但文章并示提到；C中“a limited knowledge of English”不是主要原因；D中的“the American educational system”为所有学生提供的机会是均等的，不是亚裔学生成功的根本原因。
64.B 亚裔学生很少主修人文科学是因为担心会受到不公平对待。根据文章第一段倒数第二句“Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathermatics and science because they will be judged more objectively”可推断，对人文科学成就的评价带有主观因素，因而更容易受到不公正对等。A、C、D并不是主要原因。
65.A 从最后一段判断，亚裔美国学生担心自己的突出成就会使自己再次成为社会孤立的对象。因此A为正确答案。
66.C 从第一段可以知道职业妇女忙，对做饭不感兴趣，从第一段的“have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves”(即没有愿望也没有时间为她们自己做饭)可以看出C项正确。
67.B 橘汁和橘汁饮料的区别在于橘汁是自然的，有营养的，是直接从橘子中来的。橘汁和橘汁饮料的区别在第二段中曾经谈到过，即橘汁饮料“contains only a small percentage of real juice—the rest is largely colored sugar water”(只包含很少比例的真正橘汁——其他大都是加了色素的糖水)。因此，相对而言，橘汁是natural, nutritious and prepared from oranges(天然的、有营养的、直接从橘子中来的健康饮料)。
68.A a fruitless search 意思为“没有结果的努力”，文中第四段谈到“试图寻找一种可以包治百病，又能使你成为超人的食谱是徒劳的”。因此，a fruitless search表示毫无结果的努力。fruitless的引申意义为没有结果的，徒劳的。
69.D 许多妇女想当然地认为维他命是一种食物的代替品。文中第四段提到“As women,:we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food”。
70.D 通过引用“要是没有燃料，光有火花是不行的”。作者的意思是没有碳水化合物，蛋白质和脂肪，维他命和矿物质没有用处。文中最后一段在谈到碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂肪和维生素、矿物质的关系时，作者将碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂肪比作木材、燃料，维他命和矿物比作火柴、火花。引用专家的话说，“要是没有燃料，光有火花是不行的”。
71. A 文章第二段说明微波炉可以使人暖和，不必浪费能量给墙壁和家具加热。
72. B 文章第二段说明微波直接进入人的皮肤使人温暖，既安全又省能源。
73. B 本题为细节理解题。从“a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw./sq. cm.”可知。
74. A 从第四段 a motion detector would turn on the magnetron…可知答案为A。
75. C 最后一段暗示了答案。
76 places 77 to solve /of solving 78 friends 79 loud noises 80 caused by/resulted from
