NEW ORIENTAL
听力
考试结构:Section
Section
A:10 short conversations 复习的重点
B:最可能考三个段子(3 passages)。其次,有可能考复合式听写(Compound Dictation)或
听写填空(Spot Dictation)
。
提高听力的步骤:第一步,听懂考题;第二步,总结考题规律;第三步,了解考试本身,做类型题。
短对话题型分类:Section A考题为六种题型。无论每个考题的具体内容是什么,考题的题型总在重复。我
们要培养解类型题的能力。比如在态度方向题中,每个考题的内容肯定不同。但题型高度一致,解题的方
向也必然相同。
如:Would you go to dance with me tonight?第二人的回答只有两种Yes或No。我们要听的是第二个人的
态度方向。这个题问去跳舞吗?而另外的一个完全不同的考题可能会问去看电影吗?去音乐会吗?去野餐
吗?去看比赛吗?这些不同的考题在我们的耳朵里就应该是同一类考题。我们要听的是:他在问去还是不
去?第二人要回答Yes还是No。而解题点即正确选项一定就在第二人的回答的开头。
听力范围:Campus life
考察对象:College students(在什么都没听清的情况下,异性猜classmate,同性猜roommate)
一、语音问题:连读小练习
1. rush hour 高峰时间,尖峰时刻;2. cheer up 使振奋,使高兴;3. check (it) out 借书;办理出院手续;
彻底检查;退房(check in 开房)
;4. travel agent 旅行社(travel agency, travel bureau);financial aid 经
济资助;5. turn down 关掉,拒绝;turn on 打开
二、口语问题:注意语气,语调,语汇。
例如:1. tape 胶带;cassette 磁带。2. project 作业(homework, assignment)
;工程;项目;计划;任
务。3. awful 糟糕的;terrific 特别棒的,好极了(口语中)
;可怕的,恐怖的(阅读中)
。4. I can tell that.
我能看得出。5. I understand that... 我听说……。6. I have got this one. have= have got,have to= have got
to (gotta)7. must 在口语中表猜测8. I'll take this one. 我要买这个。9. I won't buy that. = I won't believe
that. 我才不信呢。10. He was my boyfriend.
三、考题内容:生活情景,场景会话
场景题:如何出考题;判断场景的线索词。比如:book,校内library;校外book store(线索词manager, order)
。
四、解题思路比如:交通:traffic jam车:break down
题目分析:Section A为重点(主要为三种题型)but题型:but以后是重点。

drving license。
悲惨原则:
第一个人说一件事情,第二个人回答听不清或一点都没听到,一定有麻烦,回答多半是抱怨。比如:谈论
买东西肯定买不到,谈论订房肯定订完了,谈论交通肯定拥挤,谈论车肯定坏掉,谈论考试肯定不及格,
谈论野餐肯定下雨。
解题思路:
第一类,有关学习的考题基于学生身份去猜题。关于考试:考试难,时间紧,能否延期。作业难做。论文
没做完。选课多。对老师评价:讲课boring,老师strict,作业多。She is one in a million. 当老师要退休的
时候对老师的评价才会高。
第二类,生活。学生穷poor,要省钱。时时带着学生证。购物时一定要bargin。杂志不订应该去图书馆读,
如:A: Maybe I oughtta subscribe(捐献,订购) to the magazine.
B: Why don't you save the money and
read it in the library?。在家看比赛没钱买票。

段子题:词汇(很少考生词含义)题材(抛弃题材,注重结构)抓共性,总结规律
(一)解题步骤Procedure to follow:
1、看选项:找相同的词;找数字
在听题之前先看选项。四个选项纵向看,找相同的词,反复出现的词一定是段子所叙述的对象,确定
文章的论述范围、论述主题。另外如果选项中有数字,迅速记下来,段子题中听到什么数字选什么,原则
上不考数字计算。如P64 Test14的第一个段子。
11. A) She sat back and relaxed.B) She decided to retire.C) She entered university.
D) She worked out a new English program.
12. A) 8 years.B) 20 years.C) 16 years.D) 30 years.
13. A) Bring a great deal of useful experience to the university.B) Improve human relationships in the
university.C) Bring a fear of aging among young students on the campus.D) Improve the reputation of the
university.
14. A) She is learning English and Drama.B) She is learning how to make sound judgments.C) She is
learning how to teach minority students.D) She is leaning to perceive, not to judge.
文章的结构类型:
1、介绍型 introduction:介绍新的概念。说明起源、发展过程、现状、展望未来,对我们的影响和用途(正
负两方面)
。
【听力中常考】
2、讨论型 discussion:根据问题进行讨论,分析原因一、原因二,最后说明如何解决。
3、对比型 comparison:两种观点、流派、理论进行对比,比较两种的优缺点,最后突出自己的观点。2、
听两头:选熟悉的选项。
文章的两头是一篇文章的重点,文章的开头是观点(Idea),即文章的Topic。而中间是细节,是用来支持
观点的论据(examples)。听段子,听结构。文章的开头与结尾要出考题。一般正确选项基本会是原文的
重现(copy)
。所以,最好能作到边听边记。
结尾提示词:(1)有重复词出现。
(2)表结果连词出现:therefore, so, that, as a result 等。
做题原则:听到什么选什么。1、适合边听边看选项:选项短,问的是细节题,问题的顺序与行文顺序一致。
2、集中精力听完文章:选项长,主线题,问的是中心思想。
中间抓小词:极端词(细节题)
每个文章的题材不同,但考题有极大的共性。掌握了考题的共同特点,我们可以以不变应万变。文章可以
听的不是很清楚,但几个重要的词一定要抓住。并在练习的过程中注重培养对这几个词的敏感。我们所要
听的只有五个词:
First, most, because【前三个百分百出考题】, only, just 【后两个常出考题】(but).
这五个词是经典的考点。其中如果First, Most, Because出现一定要出考题。Just与Only也非常重要,
基本会出考题。其实,这一点在阅读中也有非常明显的体现。听到这些词意味着找到了正确选项。
五种逻辑关系:1、并列:and2、转折:but3、让步:though, although, even though, in spite of, despite4、
因果:because5、递进:
用常识猜题:正常思维推理。
听力考试的Section A的短对话是学生生活的场景对话。问其中一人的观点,诸如:What does the
man mean?
或What does the woman imply?不难发现,这样的考题是在问第三人的想法,非常主观。
而相比之下,Section B的段子则截然不同,段子叙述的都是客观的事实。针对事实性的文章,我们应学会
运用常识来推出正确选项。文章开头抓名词,名词概念为文章讨论的对象。如一题中问:What is the topic
of this talk? 选项中找electric car。What is the advantage of the electric car over the traditional gas-fueled
car? 我们不需要对段子听得很清楚就可以轻易地想出答案:没污染!比如:silk。再比如问:如果南极洲
的冰帽融化,将对地球产生什么影响?What will happen if the ice cap of Antarctica melts? 我们立即会想
到海平面会上升!所以,听段子时,我们需要客观冷静。有时,要跳出原文来客观地审视考题。
(二)段子题的分类及对策
1、主观题又称态度题(Attitude)问Speaker对所叙述的对象的态度,或褒或贬。典型的问题类似:What is
the speaker’s impression of…?; What is the speaker’s attitude to/ toward…? 段子题中一般是褒的态度。
考题特点:选项出现四个形容词。
解题方向:Speaker的态度反映在文中的形容词或副词。注重fortunately, luckily, unfortunately这样的具感
情色彩的词。但凡听力中的段子,Speaker对于谈论的对象,不论是人物还是事物,都可能有双向评论。
但在CET听力中,如果未能听出态度方向。只要选正态度就可以了!因为反驳的文章要比介绍性的文章复
杂的多。典型的段子往往会说一个人对人类社会,或对某一团体有着伟大的贡献。或叙述某个组织,某个
机构有创新性的,划时代意义的活动。
Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
15.
A) Watching traditional plays.B) Visiting the magnificent libraries.C) Boating on the river.D) Cycling
in narrow streets.
16.
A) There are many visitors there.B) There are many students there.C) There are many old streets
there.D) There are many bicycles there.
17.
A) He thinks the city is too crowded.B) He likes the place very much.C) He thinks the streets are too
narrow.D) He admires the comfortable life of the students there
Script Cambridge is about 90 kilometers northeast of London. It is one of the most beautiful places in
Britain. Everything about the city of Cambridge reminds you of its famous university: students on bicycles,
the atmosphere of learning, traditions and the magnificent buildings of the 30 colleges that are in the
University of Cambridge. Most of the colleges stand on the bank of the Cam River the gentle river that
flows through the heart of the city. Tourists and students like boating in a kind of flatbottom boat to see
the colleges or to relax themselves. If the water traffic reminds the visitor of Venice, the road traffic is
more likely to recall Beijing or Amsterdam. The streets are full of bicycles, hundreds and hundreds of
them. They provide a cheap form of transport for the students and very conveniently of getting around the
Cambridge’ s nearer streets.
Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
15. What do tourists enjoy doing in Cambridge for relaxation?
16. Why did the road traffic in Cambridge remind one of Beijing?
17. What is the speaker’s impression of Cambridge? 主观题
2、客观题比如数字题。问及时间,多少,年代。问:When; How many...; How much? 在Section A中的
数字题的对策是听到什么不选取什么,即把听到的数字在选项中要排除掉,因为Section A这部分要考察对
数字的进一步运算能力。你听到的一定是原始数据,而不是最终结果(正确选项)。但是,在Section B的
段子中,对策完全要反过来。即听到哪个数字就要选那个数字。段子中的数字不考运算。
考题特点:比较明显。选项都有数字(或年代,或时间等)
。
解题对策:听题前第一步看选项时,如果看到数字题,把笔入在此题处,随时准备记录。听到什么,选什
么。如有两个数字出现。先都记下来。在听问题时再进一步排除。

Script In the high mountain country outside the city of Toluker, there stands a prison. This prison is quite
different from other prisons in the world. The guards, except for two at the main gate, are not armed.
There are many remarkable things about Toluker prison. For example, of the 15, 000 individuals who
have been in prison at Toluker, less than two percent have got into trouble again with, the law. Men in the
open prison are free to find work on the outside but must go back to prison each night. On weekends they
are allowed to go home. When most other prisons are still sending criminals back into society, Toluker is
returning people who stand on their own feet and contribute to society. In 1974, a prisoner called Barb
Crook moved to the open prison. A year later, he left Toluker for the last time. He was then nearly
forty-six and had been in prison for fourteen years. He got a job as construction worker in the city,
remarried and was regarded as a useful person of his community. If you ask Bob why Toluker works, he
would say “Because they believed in me when I was at my worst.”

Script.A six-year-old boy has been found alive after spending four days and five nights in an
icebox that was buried under tons of ruins in Thursday’s big earthquake.
The boy, Tom, was found early yesterday in the village of Sem as rescuers were working to pull his
father out of the ruins of their home.
Hearing a faint cry of “Get me out, get me out”, rescuers dug down another 1.5 meters and found
the boy in the icebox. He was pronounced in a good condition, suffering only four or five slight wounds.
Tom’s eight brothers and sisters died in the earthquake, which officials say may have killed as
many as 50,000 people.
By Sunday foreign doctors were leaving the earthquake areas as hope had faded of finding any
more survivors.

Script.The earth is composed of several layers. The top layer of the earth is called the earth’ s crust. The
earth’ s crust is divided into seven sections. These sections are called plates.
When two plates push against each other, or when two plates rub against each other, an
earthquake will occur. An earthquake causes the ground above the plate to shake. The shaking is
caused by the motion of two plates.
Earthquakes are likely to happen at the boundaries of the earth’s plates. Each of these plates is
about 70 kilometers thick. Let’s take a look at the general boundaries of one of these seven major plates.
Take the North American plate for an example. The left boundary of this plate is the west coast of
North America and the east boundary of this plate is through the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. That is,
this plate extends from the west coast of North America to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

16.
A) If he always wears protective clothing.B) If he can see everything around him clearly.C) If he is

Script.Nowadays motorcycling is fast becoming one of America’ s most popular sports. However, there
are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. Motorcyclists frequently look
dirty; in fact, they are dirty. On the road there is little to protect them from mud, insects, and bird
droppings. For practical reasons they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than
the clothing of people who ride in cars. For the same reason motorcyclists usually wear dark colors.
Of course the danger of motorcycling also helps account for many people’ s low opinion of the
sport. Its defenders, however, claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than is commonly believed.
A cyclist must drive as if no one else on the road chase him. He must pay careful attention to his driving.
From that point of view, a man on a motorcycle is safer than a man in a car.Questions 14 to 16 are
based on the passage you have just heard.

Because the bird uttered the wrong word.D) Because the bird failed to say the name of town.

13. A) The bird had finally understood his threat.B) The bird managed to escape from the chicken house.
C) The bird had learned to scream back to him.D) The bird was living peacefully with the chickens.
Script.Sports and games are very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls
may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one’ s country. But what is
learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child’ s character as what is learned by
experience. As most of the pupils’ time is spent in classes studying lessons, the ordinary day school can’
t give much practical training for their lives in the future. So it is what the pupils do in the spare time that
really prepares them to take their places in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns
to work for his team, and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the
good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.
Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
18. What is the speaker’s opinion about learning from books?
19. Why isn’t ordinary day school unable to give pupils much training for their future lives?
20. What can help to develop the child’s love of his country according to the speaker?
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

the purpose of guarding the house.

20.
A) The city can be a lonely place.B) Life in the West can be very dangerous.C) People in the West
are fond of animals.D) The dog is a useful and friendly animal.
Script.When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking dogs. It
is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reasons why people keep
a dog have changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks by
other beasts. And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to
obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs would not eat what was
caught without permission. But now people in the city need not protect themselves against attacks of
animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But
the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no
friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a
dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs
has changed from protection to friendship.
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
17. According to the passage, what were dogs trained for in the past?
18. Why were dogs used for hunting?
19. What is the most important reason for people in the city to keep dogs now?

Script.The two most famous faces in Britain today belong to two women who appear on television almost
every night. If you open any popular magazine or newspaper you’ll almost certainly see an article about
one of them, with lots of photographs. Their names are Susan Rippon and Anna Ford. Susan reads the 9
o’ clock news on BBC Television, and Anna reads the 10 o’ clock news on Independent Television.
Most news announcers on British television are men, and when Susan began her job at the BBC
three years ago, she was the first woman news announcer. Newspapers and magazines started to take
an interest in her and reporters started to write about her. Last year, Independent Television also decided
to have a woman news announcer and they chose Anna Ford. Newspapers and magazines showed a
great interest in her, too.
When Anna read the news for the first time on the 10 o’clock programme, millions of people who
don’ t normally watch the programme decided to watch it that night, to see Anna Ford.

Script.New England is an area of mountains, valleys, and rivers. It is said that in New England one is
always climbing hills. A large part of New England is also made up of farms and farming lands. Yet New
England is not really a farming area. The farms are small. Generally they are only large enough to
support one family. It also happens that the soil of New England is not good. This soil has been worked
and planted for so many years that it has lost its value.
Most New Englanders today work in factories or small businesses. In these factories they make
watches and clocks, shoes, clothing, special tools for industry, leather goods, etc. New England workmen
are famous for their skill in making many of these things. This skill is often passed down in families from
father to son.

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Oceanography has been defined as 'The application of all sciences to the study of the sea'.注:

Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly
Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant (不愿意) to go to
sea to further his work.
注:1.第二段:在十九世纪之前,对海洋感兴趣的科学家很少,可以推断本文根据时间顺序来描述海洋学
发展的过程2.further 跟在 to 后面是个动词,表示“推进”
For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or
others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone
to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question 'What is at the bottom of the
oceans?' had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph
cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of
the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.

It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information
on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which
soundings (测深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later,
some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.
注:1. it was ...that...强调句型2. turn to sb. for sth. 向某人请教某事3. 出现问题中划线词:Maury,1840s3.

The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the
early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living
growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of
the sea.

published in 1895.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
1. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about ____.
A) relationships between causes and resultsB) classification of reasoningC) some other common types of
reasoningD) some special type of reasoning
2. According to the passage, to do the "effect to effect" reasoning is to reason ____.
A) from cause to effectB) from effect to causeC) from effect to effect and on to causeD) from effect to
cause and on to another effect
3. A necessary cause is ____.
A) one without which it is impossible for the effect to occurB) one of the causes that can produce the
effectC) one that is enough to make the effect occurD) none of them
4. Your refrigerator is not working and you have found that the electric power has been cut off.
The power failure is a ____.
A) necessary causeB) sufficient causeC) contributory causeD) none of them
5. This passage mainly discusses ____.
A) causal reasoningB) classification of causeC) various types of reasoningD) the causal process
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
Another common type of reasoning is the search for causes and results. We want to know whether
cigarettes really do cause lung cancer, what cause malnutrition(营养不良), the decay of cities, or the
decay of teeth. We are equally interested in effects: what is the effect of sulphur or lead in the
atmosphere, of oil spills and raw sewage (污水、污物)in rivers and the sea, of staying up late on the night
before an examination?
注:1.reasoning 推理2.第一句 Another...下结论,是主题句3.第二、三句 We want to ...an examination?
是举例,可以略读4.malnutrition 中“mal”是表示“不好”的前缀;overnutrition 营养过剩
Causal reasoning may go from cause to effect or from effect to cause. Either way, we reason from what
we know to what we want to find out. Sometimes we reason from an effect to a cause and then on to
another effect. Thus, if we reason that because the lights have gone out, the refrigerator won't work we
first relate the effect (lights out) to the cause (power off) and then relate that cause to another effect. This
kind of reasoning is called, for short, effect to effect. It is quite common to reason through an extensive
chain of causal relations. When the lights go out we might reason in the following causal chain: lights
out-power off-refrigerator not working -temperature will rise-milk will sour. In other words, we diagnose
(判定)a succession of effects from the power failure, each becoming the cause of the next.
注:1.causal 原因的,因果关系的2.三种推理方式:从原因到结果、从结果到原因、从结果到原因再到另
一个结果,第三种更重要3.extensive 广泛的,来自extend延伸 extensive reading 泛读4.In other words 换
而言之 a succession of 一系列5.本段讲关系链
Causes are classified as necessary, sufficient, or contributory(起辅助作用的). A necessary cause is one
which must be present for the effect to occur, as combustion (燃烧),is necessary to drive a gasoline
engine. A sufficient cause is one which can produce an effect unaided (独自的), though there may be
more than one sufficient cause: a dead battery is enough to keep a car from starting, but faulty spark
plugs(火花塞)or an empty gas tank will have the same effect. A contributory cause is one which helps
to produce an effect but cannot do so by itself, as running through a red light may help cause an accident,
though other factors --- pedestrians (行人) or other cars in the intersection-must also be present.
注:intersection 交叉路口 inter+section
In establishing or refuting (驳斥,反斥) a causal relation it is usually necessary to show the process by
which the alleged (所宣称的,所指称的) cause produces the effect. Such an explanation is called a causal
process.

1. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about ____.
A) relationships between causes and resultsB) classification of reasoningC) some other common types of
reasoningD) some special type of reasoning
注:文章之前的段落内容=首句+结构提示词,one-the other/some-another
Another common type of reasoning is the search for causes and results. We want to know whether
cigarettes really do cause lung cancer, what cause malnutrition(营养不良), the decay of cities, or the
decay of teeth. We are equally interested in effects: what is the effect of sulphur or lead in the
atmosphere, of oil spills and raw sewage (污水、污物)in rivers and the sea, of staying up late on the night
before an examination?
2. According to the passage, to do the "effect to effect" reasoning is to reason
A) from cause to effectB) from effect to causeC) from effect to effect and on to causeD) from effect to
cause and on to another effect
3. A necessary cause is ____.
A) one without which it is impossible for the effect to occurB) one of the causes that can produce the
effectC) one that is enough to make the effect occurD) none of them
注:第三段,A选项是必须在场的相同意思的改写。B选项是原因之一,sufficient cause,C选项没有"必须
"含义。
Causes are classified as necessary, sufficient, or contributory(起辅助作用的). A necessary cause is one
which must be present for the effect to occur, as combustion (燃烧),is necessary to drive a gasoline
engine. A sufficient cause is one which can produce an effect unaided (独自的), though there may be
more than one sufficient cause: a dead battery is enough to keep a car from starting, but faulty spark
plugs(火花塞)or an empty gas tank will have the same effect. A contributory cause is one which helps
to produce an effect but cannot do so by itself, as running through a red light may help cause an accident,
though other factors --- pedestrians (行人) or other cars in the intersection-must also be present.
4. Your refrigerator is not working and you have found that the electric power has been cut off.
The power failure is a ____.
A) necessary causeB) sufficient causeC) contributory causeD) none of them
注:断电不是冰箱不工作的必要原因,而是原因之一,冰箱坏了也可以导致冰箱不工作。

10. During the teen-age years, one should learn to ____.
A) differ from others in as many ways as possibleB) get into the right season and become popularC) find
one's real selfD) rebel against parents and the popularity waves
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:I hear many parents complaining that their
teen-age children are rebelling, I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your
parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present
rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their
parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at(attempting to seize)
one another's hands for reassurance.

开辟
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new
directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their
reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of
their cocoon(蚕茧)--- into a larger cocoon.
注:1.But 表明作者负态度2.set off 开始3.end up 结果4.reason 用来解释前面的现象5.把青少年从众心理
比喻成蚕茧
It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or
her own way. Industry firmly carved out a teen-age market. These days every teen-ager can learn from
the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to
award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager
who wants to find his or her own path.

But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical
music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.
You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it.
Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. That's
the only kind of popularity that really counts.

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness, but

During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're 'hot'. That's true. The time of
day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people
the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has
discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: 'Get up, John! You'll be
late for work again!' The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his
temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives
realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
注:1.peak 顶峰,高峰2.forenoon 上午
You can' t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr.
Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.
Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy
is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour.
This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.

save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this
efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect
our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

D) smokers may prove unequal to handling emergency cases
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided
to find out whether as many smokers say, smoking helps them to "think and concentrate." Spilich put
young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of
tests.注:1.concentrate 集中注意力
2.第一段交待实验对象,实验目的
In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he
or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple tests smokers, deprived smokers
and non-smokers performed equally well.注:第一句实验过程即细节,应该速读,第二句实验结果
The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the
instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the
stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.
注:1.第一句实验细节2.stimulation 刺激
In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers
committed fewer errors than active smokers.
注:committe=do (坏事) commite a crime
The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Nonsmokers
remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived
smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not
only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant
details.
注:1.首句为实验过程2.第二句为实验结果,作比较,可简写为 Nonsmoker remembered more than active
smoker3.划线的部分指的是active smoker. 即deprived smoker bested active smoker4.best v. 胜过

A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers
B) to show how smoking damages people's mental capacity
C) to prove that smoking affects people's regular performance
D) to find out whether smoking helps people's short-term memory
注:实验目的题,A 项为第一段实验目的同义改写,B,C 项为吸烟的负面影响与文中意思相反
Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided
to find out whether as many smokers say, smoking helps them to "think and concentrate." Spilich
put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of
tests.
22. George Spilich' s experiment was conducted in such a way as to _________.
A) compel the subjects to separate major information from minor details
B) put the subjects through increasingly complex tests
C) check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokers
D) register the prompt responses of the subjects
注:1.题目中没有具体指出是哪一个实验,所以就是针对所有提到的实验来说。2.A 涉及文章倒数第二段
的实验。
The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Nonsmokers
remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived
smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to
have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant
details.
3.C 涉及文章第三段的实验。The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20
identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers
were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived
smokers.
4.D 选项也只涉及文章中某一个实验。

24. Which of the following statements is true?
A) Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.
B) Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.
C) Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.
D) Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.

systems of man are inefficient.
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
In these days of technological triumphs, it is well to remind ourselves from time to time that living
mechanisms are often incomparably more efficient than their artificial imitations. There is no better
illustration of this idea than the sonar (声纳) system of bats. It is billions of times more efficient and more

To appreciate the precision of the bats' echo location, we must first consider the degree of their
reliance upon it. Thanks to sonar, an insect-eating bat can get along perfectly well without eyesight. This
was brilliantly demonstrated by the Italian naturalist Lazzaro Spallanzani. He caught some bats in a bell
tower, blinded them and released them outdoors. Four of these blind bats were recaptured after they
had found their ways back to the bell tower, and on examining their stomachs' contents, Spallanxani
found that they had been able to capture and eat flying insects. We know from experiments that bats
easily find insects in the dark of night, even when the insects make no sound that can be heard by human
ears. A bat will catch hundreds of softbodied silent flying insects in a single hour. It will even detect and
chase pebbles (卵石) tossed (向上扔)into the air.

Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
In the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the
child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these
emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic
processes by which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called "classical conditioning". This
occurs when one event or stimulus is consistently paired with, or followed by, a reward or punishment, It
is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mother's face and voice with
happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are
learned in a similar fashion.

3.多余段落通常例证某一类
The second kind of learning is called "operant conditioning." This occurs when an individual learns
to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce
punishments. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until
he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn
to increase his crying in order to have his mother more.

Every day, we grow and have new experiences. We constantly learn by reading, watching television,
interacting with some people, and so forth. This learning affects our emotions. Why is it that we learn to
like some people and dislike others? If a person is nice to us, cares about us, we learn to associate this
person with positive feelings, such as joy, happiness, and friendliness. On the other hand, if a person is
mean to us, does not care about us, and even deliberately does things to harm us, we learn to associate
this person with negative feelings, such as unhappiness, discomfort, and anger.

fundamental human urge to display their learned skills
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies - and other creatures -learn to do things
because certain acts lead to "rewards"; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also
to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such
basic physiological (生理的) "drives" as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got
food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.
注:1.past 和 widely accepted:老观点和大众观点,一般应该是否定的2.used also to be widely:另一个

with no reward except the successful outcome.

述新观点
Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to "reward" the babies and so teach
them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he
noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the
learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children's responses in
situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would
learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement "switched on" a display of lights - and indeed that
they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two
right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side.

Papousek's light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting
observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would
"smile and bubble" when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight
of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in
mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and
bring it under intentional control.

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to
the manufacturer's claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保单), or any other records which
might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does
not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.
注:1.present
v. 提交2.主题句后将介绍其他不同投诉的方法
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In
general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to
be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer' s favor, assuming he or she has a just
claim. 注:the more...the more... 比较结构,可以跟32题联系在一起。
(此处,文章后面的题目中有4道题已经可以定位了。31题、32题、34题和35题)
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of
purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when
the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the
consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by
making general statements. For example, "The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming
out of the right one is unclear" is better than "This stereo(立体声音响)does not
work."
注:1.firmly 坚决的2.demonstrate 证明、证实3.specific 具体的,详细的4.as to = about
The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do
this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve
the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court
or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.

they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always
taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few
times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a
woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly

Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend
vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford
to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are
lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.

本段首句结论句,末句细节句
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion
designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only
interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any
amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in
his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her
way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.

When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do
the constantly changing fashions of women' s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy
and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their
unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
37. To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _________.

C) the correct way of marking compositions

Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I
have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are,
however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over
general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to
express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities
of spelling?

= overlook, 区别是:ignor (故意) overlook ( 忽略)4.give A priority over B
给A优先权5.confidently 自信
的
If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play
safe". He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language.
That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather
than technical ability.
注:1.focal 关注的,名词为 focus 焦点2.adventurous 冒险的3.content 内容,contend 包含4.technical
ability 指的是 spelling

teachers
注:文章第二段,B,D 选项文章未提到,可排除。定位此段末句,选择A项
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience:
"This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible (难以辨认的)." It
may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil's technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad
reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful
expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors,
but if his priorities had centered on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the
presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动力) to seek improvement.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
A rapid means of long-distance transportation became a necessity for the United States as settlement (新
拓居地) spread ever farther westward. The early trains were impractical curiosities, and for a long time
the railroad companies met with troublesome mechanical problems. The most serious ones were the
construction of rails able to bear the load, and the development of a safe, effective stopping system.
Once these were solved, the railroad was established as the best means of land transportation. By 1860
there were thousands of miles of railroads crossing the eastern mountain ranges and reaching westward
to the Mississippi. There were also regional southern and western lines.

The high point in railroad building came with the construction of the first transcontinental system. In
1862 Congress authorized two western railroad companies to build lines from Nebraska westward and
from California eastward to a meeting point, so as to complete a transcontinental crossing linking the
Atlantic seaboard with the Pacific. The Government helped the railroads generously with money and land.
Actual work on this project began four years later. The Central Pacific Company, starting from California,
used Chinese labor, while the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish laborers. The two groups worked
at remarkable speed, each trying to cover a greater distance than the other. In 1869 they met at a place
called Promontory in what is now the state of Utah. Many visitors came there for the great occasion.
There were joyous celebrations all over the country, with parades and the ringing of church bells to honor
the great achievement.

A) different people have different styles of clothesB) ready-made clothes may need alterations
C) statuses come ready made just like clothesd) our choice of statuses is limited
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:
Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine
where we "fit" in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms
of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian,
whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is
a thief or a meter reader, and so on.
注:1.首句主题句2.fit 加了引号,意义有所改变3.property 财产,尤指房产
The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of
us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social
interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to
assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based
on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more
difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.

注:指代题。二段末句中的前半句中的 the task,而task又指代的是前边一句中提到的内容
A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose
style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume (服装) of a Chinese peasant or that of
a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our
choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook (钱包). Having made a choice within
these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be
limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statues too come ready made, and the range of choice
among them is limited.

Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to
determine where we "fit" in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place
people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a
reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar
person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on.

heartsC) the country is not spending enough money on artificial heartsD) America's health-care programs

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Just seven years ago, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart
was being cheered as the model of human creativeness. The sight of Barney Clark - alive and conscious
after trading his diseased heart for a metal-and-plastic pump - convinced the press, the public and many
doctors that the future had arrived. It hadn't. After monitoring production of the Jarvik-7, and reviewing
its effects on the 150 or so patients (most of whom got the device as a temporary measure) the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to
save them. Last week the agency cancelled its earlier approval, effectively banning (禁止) the device.

The recall may hurt Symbion Inc, maker of the Jarvik-7, but it won't end the request for an artificial heart.
One problem with the banned model is that the tubes connecting it to an external power source created
a passage for infection (感染). Inventors are now working on new devices that would be fully placed,
along with a tiny power pack, in the patient's chest. The first sample products aren't expected for
another 10 or 20 years. But some people are already worrying that they'll work - and that America's
overextended health-care programs will lose a precious $2.5 billion to $5 billion a year providing them for
a relatively few dying patients. If such expenditures (开支) cut into funding for more basic care, the net
effect could actually be a decline in the nation's health.

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:
Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also
explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals
are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I
say to them, "not want to be a writer."

The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by
fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in
the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had no prospects at all: What I did
have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it
was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine
writer.

After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell
a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I
wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering; what if? I would keep putting my dream
to the test --- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of
hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. 注:After a year 对应58题

Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:
Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect
motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences,
argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive (认知学派的) researchers,
who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging
dependence on approval and gifts from others.

The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small

"If kids know they're working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show
the most creativity, "says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. "But it's easy to
kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards."
注:anticipation 期望,预期
A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary
achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he
notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades.
注:uninspired 没有灵感的
inspire 激励,有灵感
In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economies, in which students handle challenging problems
and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and
creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.

D) children have various difficulties in learning to speak
65. The best title for this passage would be _________.

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:
It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he
does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation.
注:1.everyone agree 大众观点2.challenge 挑战,难以解释
61. By "... challenges explanation" ( Line 2, Para. 1) the author means that _________
A) no explanation is necessary for such an obvious phenomenonB) no explanation has been made up to

早该做...后面接虚拟语气
Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do
before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will "obey" spoken
instructions some time before they can speak, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description
of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children
will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.

A) usually obey without asking questionsB) are passive in the process of learning to speak
C) are born cooperativeD) learn to speak by listening
注:段落主题题,第二段首句。A选项 obey 出现,而文章中此词带引号,此项为干扰选项
Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken
words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the
first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress,
sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby' s intention to communicate, they
can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they
play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their
repertoire (能发出的全部声音). This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意识的) imitation of sounds
made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one
can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.

spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these
imitations can be considered as speech.

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Researchers have established that when people are mentally engaged, biochemical changes occur in
the brain that allow it to act more effectively in cognitive (认知的) areas such as attention and memory.
This is true regardless of age.
注:1."it"指代"brain"2.mentally engaged 动脑筋,思考问题3.第一句是主题句
People will be alert (警觉的) and receptive (愿意接受的) if they are faced with information that gets them
to think about things they are interested in. And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will
go into old age more cognitively sound than someone who has not had an active mind.
注:1.第一段 attention and memory 对应 alert and receptive2.active mind 思维活跃3.sound adj.健康的
Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they are putting the theory
to work in their own lives. "The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize enormous amounts of
information," says James Fozard, associate director of the National Institute on Aging. "Most of us don't
need that kind of skill. Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain mental
alertness." Fozard and others say they challenge their brains with different mental skills, both because
they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains
work.
注:1.convince 相信,确信2.双引号之内句子不重要3.be less interest than 某事好处不如某事好处多
Gene Cohen, acting director of the same institute, suggests that people in their old age should engage in
mental and physical activities individually as well as in groups. Cohen says that we are frequently
advised to keep physically active as we age, but older people need to keep mentally active as well.
Those who do are more likely to maintain their intellectual abilities and to be generally happier and better
adjusted. "The point is, you need to do both," Cohen says. "Intellectual activity actually influences
brain-cell health and size."

Unit 1Part IV Short Answer Question
In Britain, the old Road Traffic Act restricted speeds to 2 m. p. h. (miles per hour) in towns and 4 m. p. h.
in the country. Later Parliament increased the speed limit to 14 m. p.h. But by 1903 the development of
the car industry had made it necessary to raise the limit to 20 m. p. h. By 1930, however, the law was so
widely ignored that speeding restrictions were done away with altogether. For five years motorists
were free to drive at whatever speeds they liked. Then in 1935 the Road Traffic Act imposed a 30 m. p.
h. speed limit in built-up areas, along with the introduction of driving tests and pedestrian crossing
.注:1.ignore 忽略2.be done away with 取消、废除3.impose 实施4."A and B"结构就用"A and B"结构回
答
71.During which period could motorist drive without limits?
注:用单词短语,把时间起点终点找出来,然后用介词联起来 From 1930 to 1935
72. What measures were adopted in 1935 in addition to the speeding restrictions?
注:1.measure n.措施;v.衡量 2.题中 measures 表明考得是列举语言现象
Driving tests and pedestrian crossing
Speeding is now the most common motoring offence in Britain. Offences for speeding fall into three
classes: exceeding the limit on a restricted road, exceeding on any road the limit for the vehicle you are
driving, and exceeding the 70 m. p. h. limit on any road. A restricted road is one where the street lamps
are 200 yards apart, or more.注:exceed 超过
73. Speeding is a motoring offence a driver commits when he _________
注:1.offend
v. 犯罪;冒犯 2.题中只需要补充一个谓语动词Key:Exceeds the speed limits
The main controversy (争论) surrounding speeding laws is the extent of their safety value. The Ministry
of Transport maintains that speed limits reduce accidents. It claims that when the 30 m. p. h. limit was
introduced in 1935 there was a fall of 15 percent in fatal accidents. Likewise, when the 40 m. p. h. speed
limit was imposed on a number of roads in London in the late fifties, there was a 28 percent reduction in
serious accidents. There were also fewer casualties (伤亡) in the year after the 70 m. p. h. motorway limit
was imposed in 1966.注:maintain 认为
74. What is the opinion of British authorities concerning speeding laws?
注:What+opinion 题型,需要用句子来回答,根据 British authorities 定位第三段Key:Speed limits reduce
accidents
In America, however, it is thought that the reduced accident figures are due rather to the increase in
traffic density. This is why it has even been suggested that the present speed limits should be done away
with completely, or that a guide should be given to inexperienced drivers and the speed limits m ade
advisory, as is done in parts of the USA.
75. What reason do Americans give for the reduction in traffic accidents?
注:根据 Americans 定位第四段
Key:The increase in traffic density
Unit 3Part IV Short Answer Questions
For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must
work to survive. Others face a hard decision.
Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, "Marge and I decided
after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we
couldn't afford." With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters
(临时照看小孩的人), transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might
actually end up with less.
Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The
most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the
family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and
conflicting feelings.
There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they
have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think
that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction.
From my own experience. I would like to suggest that sometime the decision to go back to work is
made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn't mature enough to see
how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had
allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl's eyes.
Questions: (注意:答题尽量简短,超过 10 个词要扣分。每条横线限写一个英语单词,标点符号不占格。

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike
humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away - straight up. A decade ago,
adapting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites,
physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which
ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather
than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest (害虫) problems.
注:1.文章首句提出问题:植物受到病虫害侵扰会发烧2.straight up 高空3.adapt 使用,适用 4.come up
with 提出(方案、计划)5.precisely 准确的、精确的6.spray 喷射
Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they
became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner
measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where
plants were running "fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide
than they otherwise would.
注:1.Mounted on 安装在……之上2.transform 转变 = trans 变化 + form 形式3.spot-spray 点喷
The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the
new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides
on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture
experts have no doubt the technology works.
注:1.第一句为现象,后面跟着原因和解释2.with 因为,因果关系3.renew 恢复
4.工业产品:product;农业产品:produce5.refinement 提炼、精炼
This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States," says George Qerther
of Texas A& M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired form the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote
infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial
backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.

中更加有效的活动。
(全句结构0.5)
三、翻译过程1.找到需翻译语句对应文中的位置2.理解阶段1)根据上下文关系2)分析句子结构3.
表
达阶段(注意中英文表达习惯的差异)
1)词序:即词与词或词与句子之间的位置顺序关系,中文习惯为修饰语前置。例:The girl in red is my sister.
穿红衣服的女孩是我姐姐。I like the watch which you bought me.我喜欢你给我买的那块表。We can keep
fit by going in for exercise.我们可以通过参加体育锻炼来保持健康。
2)句序: a.中文习惯为状语从句前置,英语中状语从句(如原因、条件从句)有时置于主句之后,而汉
语一般将状语从句置于主语之前。 例:I would be most happy to go with you if I am not in the way.不碍事
的话我很高兴和你们一起去。b.中文按照时间逻辑顺序安排句序,英文按照事情的重要性来安排句序。例:
It was a keen disappointment when I had to postpone the visit
which I had planned to pay to China in
January.我原计划1月份访问中国,后来必须推迟,对此我深表遗憾。
翻译技巧1.增词法:目的在于使译文通顺而不是增加含义1)增加动词例:After the banquet and the concert,
he would work on his report. (参加)宴会和(出席)音乐会之后他会继续写报告。
2)增加名词例:He cann't endure the tension of modern life他不能忍受现代生活的紧张(节奏)。
例:You are frank and honest with all your faults.你对错误的(态度)坦诚。
2.转译法:1)含有动词意味的名词转译为动词例:It is evidence enough of the desire of all of us to solve
the problem according to people's will as soon as possible(ASAP).这充分证明了我们都希望按照人们的意
愿尽快解决问题。 2)动词转译为名词例:Formality has always characterized their relationship.他们之
间关系的特点是以礼相待。例:Most satellites are designed to burned up themselves after completing
mission. 按照设计大部分卫星在完成任务后自行燃烧。 3)形容词副词之间相互转译例:We took several
brief and restless naps.我们简短不安地睡了几次。
四、一些具体结构的翻译:
1.限定性定语从句: 按照修饰语前置翻译方法。通常译为“……的”。
(置于被修饰的名词之前)
例:For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing
small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.从人口的总体考虑,我们必须更多地关注摄
入少量的、在不知不觉中污染我们世界的杀虫剂所造成的延迟效应。
2.
非限定性定语从句(即which之前有逗号)译为单句例:He said that this was a good idea, which he
would consider.他说这是一个好主意,他会加以考虑。
3.同位语从句1)分译法:将先行词与同位语从句分开翻译,中间用“即”、“就是说”、冒号、破折号分开。
例:He said that this was a good idea that he would consider.(定语从句)
We have to face the fact that we are still poor.(同位语从句)我们必须面对一个事实,即我们还很贫穷。
2)转换法:如果同位语修饰的名词含有动作意义,则可将该名词译为动词。这类词有:suggestion / opinion
/ belief / hope 例:He has a feeling that his son was not wrong.他感觉到他的儿子没有错。
4.比较结构:最根本的译法译为“比…更…”
例:Researchers have established that when people are mentally engaged, biochemical changes occur
in the brain that allow it to act more
effectively in cognitive areas such as arention and memory.
研究人员证实人们在动脑筋时,头脑里会产生生化变化,使头脑在注意力和记忆力这类认知领域中更
有效地活动。
And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old age more cognitively
sound than someone who has not had an active mind.习惯于多动脑筋而不是少动脑筋的人,在进入老
年以后,要比一个从来不积极动脑子的人的认知能力更为健全。
The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in
both monery and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.
后者忽视了向分散居住的社区提供充分的服务需要较高的花费,以及近郊居民上下班既费钱又费时间1)
将more…than…译为“比…更…”;将more译为“更…”例:He was more active than I.他比我更积极。
2)用比较级表达最高级含义时,可译为“最”、“莫过于”。例:There is no better example than this.这是最
好的例子。
5.
被动结构1)译为被动。如“被”、“受到”、“遭到”、“由”、“为…所”。例:The committee established by
UN is considering the problem.由联合国建立的委员会正在考虑这个问题。2)译为表语。即“是……的”例:
The decision was not made easily.这个决定不是轻易做出的。3)译为主动句。例:He was given a high mark
by his teacher.他的老师给了他一个高分。
阅读错误答案的特征1.名词在原文为特指,在选项中为泛指2.错误推理:1)一般错误推理2)特殊错误推
理3.与原文相反4.片面选项:1) 原文中提到不可或缺的两个方面,选项只给出一个方面。but 前面或后面
同时出现形容词或副词表示不可或缺的并列,此类的词还有yet.2) 中立调和选项5.混淆:窜段、窜句
6.选项中出现文章中没有的内容7.绝对化语气词(最高级,唯一性,all, any, every, only, no+n. none, never,

总分中减去实得作文分与6分之间的差额部分。
实例一题目:Bicycles――An Important Means of Transport in China
提纲:
(1)为什么自行车在中国这样普及(2)和汽车的比较(3)自行车在中国的前途
Score: 8
Bicycle is an important means of transport in China. The important reason of it is the
economy of Chinese. The use of bicycle in China is widely because people in China have not high wage.
They can only afford a bicycle, and they have no money to buy a car which is too expensive. So Chinese
usually buy a bicycle, and use it to go to work, or go to travel and so on. The other reason is the large
population of China. All these made the bicycle become the important means of transport.
The bicycle, compared to the car, is not too expensive and it is easy to learn and to use and it can
save the surface of putting it. It doesn’t ask to build the garage like car. This point is very important to
China, because of the lack of land. It isn’t too expensive, so Chinese can afford it. It doesn’t need any oil,
and it can’t cause the polusion. All of these are the good needs compared to the car.
In the future, bicycle will be widely used. And it will be in good demand. People will produce much
more modern bicycles.
Score: 14
Bicycles are very popular in China. Almost every family in the city has two or three
bicycles. During the rush hour, you can see that thousands of people -- man and woman, old and young
-- ride their bicycles to work and study. That is why China is called “the kingdom of bicycles”.
注:1. 第一句总写,第二句和第三句分写,最后总写。2. During the rush hour 分词结构开头。3. 破折号
内容为同位语,句式多变化。
Compared with cars, bicycles are superior in many ways. First, they are cheap, convenient and
easy to ride. Second, riding bicycle is good for health. Third, they bring no noise nor air pollution.
Though cars are faster and more comfortable, they are too expensive. They consume plenty of oil and
they pollute the air. Sometimes, it is difficult for a driver to park his car. Moreover they often cause
traffic jams and accidents.
注:1. Compared with cars 分词结构开头。2. be superior to/ be inferior to 优于/ 低于3. thirst,
second, third 英语语言有层次感,信号词4. cheap 便宜,最好用inexpensive5. be good for health 对健
康有好处(万能理由)6. Moreover 表示递进
In my opinion, the future of bicycle is very promising. Since China is a developing country and has
a large population, I think, riding bicycle is appropriate to Chinese present conditions. It will be an
important means of transportation for quite a long time.
注:promising 有前途的 a promising young man
Score: 11
There millions of bicycles in today’s China. Bicycles are very important means of transport
in people’s daily lives. Because to ride a bicycle is very simple, to buy a bicycle will not cost so much
money, to park a bicycle needs just a small room and to ride a bicycle does not need oil but the rider’s
strength, bicycles are popular all over the world, especially in China.
注:第一句应该用there be结构
Compared with a car, a bicycle is much cheaper. It is more suitable for China as a developing country.
And a bicycle has almost caused no pollution but a car has. On the contrary, a bicycle is too slow, it costs
more times than a car.
I think the population of China’s bicycle will be kept for the long run. Because it will be replaced by a
car, a bus and so on in some developed areas in China, and it will be made a wide use in the developing
areas in China, the number of bicycles in China will be the same as today but I believe that it’s quality will
be improved.

实例二 99年6月真题Reading Selectively Or Extensively?
Outline: 1. 有人认为读书要有选择2. 有人认为应当博览群书3. 我的想法
①11分
When it comes to reading, some people think that reading selectively is a good way, but some other
people do not agree with them, they think that reading extensively is better.
Those people, who think that reading selectively is better, believe that good books are as many as
bad books. Those good books can give us pleasure and knowledge, while those bad books can only lead
us to the wrong way. So, they suggest that we should only choose the good books to read and never
touch the bad books.
But, the other people, who hold that reading extensively is better, think that one kind of books can
only give us one aspect of knowledge. Even the best book only contains one field of information. So, they
can easily come to the conclusion that “to know more, to read more”. So they believe that reading
extensively is better.
To my point, we should choose good books to read and read good books as many as possible. By
this way, we can increase the quality and quantity of reading.
②5分
I think reading not only selectively but also extensively. Because the two sides are not contradict.
Our time is limited. So we can not read every book in the world. However, we will not be interested in
every book. We should read those books may be useful to ours, read those books which we like. But
those books which we choose must be extensively so it can give ours all kinds of knowledge, news and
so on, it also make ours become a wise man. On the one hand reading selectively let ours not waste our
time which it is limited. Moreover it can emphasis among all books that we can read. On the other hand
reading extensively can deal with all kinds of need in our life. They are all useful to ours.
③2分
Most people thought that read books should have been selective. But others believed reading
extensively was correction.
Selective books or reading extensively?
Sure, you can choice one from previous ideas,
on one hand, There are too book to read for us. We should choose those which we interested, and it
would be helpful for us.
on another hand. Someone’s interesting was wide. Each book could bring you specific contain we
couldn’t reading at only one level.
I confirmed all of these ideas were good but weren’t wise.
As a reader, the main task is to discover more and more books the second task is to held some
which wonderful and helpful for us. Don’t treat these books with reckless abandon.
The best technology of reading is connect.
④14分
How should we read? Should we read selectively or extensively? Everyone has his own view.
Some people think we should read selectively. They argue that with the development of modern
science and technology, more and more books are published. It is impossible for us to read all the books.
What’s more, there are many bad books that are poisonous to our mind, and we shouldn’t read them.
Since we can’t read all the books and we shouldn’t read bad books, we must read selectively.
But others may not agree, they emphasize that today's society is not what it was. If one man has
many kinds of knowledge, he will have more chances to succeed. If a man knows much in one field but
knows nothing in other fields, he may be useless. Since we must have many kinds of knowledge, we
must read extensively.
Who’s right? I think both of them have something right. But I think we should read extensively first.
We should read books in many fields, and read selectively in one field.
⑤8分
Some people think reading shall be chosen. Because some books are good to human beings and
some books are harmful to people.
Some people think that men should read books widely. Because wide reading can help man get
much knowledge. And man can use it to change the world.
It is my point that reading must be selectively. Because reading is important to man. Some books
can help man but some books can lead some people to crime. It can be seen in the newspapers and
watched on TV. We can make full use of some good books and gain more useful knowledge. It can make
our life more beautiful. We must give up those unhelpful books. They are not good to us. Reading them is
wasting time and money. So reading selectively is an important part in reading.

范文22. Is Television a Blessing or a Curse?
Now, it is generally accepted that television plays an important part in people’s lives. But, there is
an ongoing heated discussion as to whether television is a blessing or a curse.
注:it is generally accepted that 人们通常认为
As is often pointed out by some people, television keeps one better informed about current events,
allows one to follow the latest developments in politics and science, and offers an endless series of
programs which are both instructive and stimulating. The most distant countries, the strangest customs
and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one’s room.
注:1. As is often pointed out by some people = Some people think that
2. “使……”不用make,而用keep, allow, offer
However, other people insist that television is a curse rather than a blessing. They argue that it has
brought about many serious problems. The major one is its effects on young people. They are now so
used to getting their information, education and entertainment from television that their literacy as well as
physical ability has been greatly weakened. Even worse than that, vulgar commercials and indecent
programs may cultivate their bad tastes, distort their viewpoints towards human life to such a degree that
their minds might be corrupted.
In summary, television has both advantages and disadvantages. Whatever effects it has, one thing
is certain, television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses to which it is put that
determines its value to society.
范文5. Travelling
People who like travelling have their reasons. They maintain that travelling can help them
expand their scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. They go on to point
out that touring will provide more chance for them to enjoy food and try on clothes that they otherwise
cannot possible have.
注:geographical and historical 押尾韵,如:押头韵 clear & clean
Those who dislike travelling have their reasons. They would argue that travelling means a
considerable amount of money and energy. For example, traffic and accommodation require money and
walking while seeing sights often tires you.
In practice, travelling does more good than harm. If your finance and health permit, you might as well
do some travelling from time to time. It will at least enable you to get familiar with people and things that
you will probably grow to like and love.
注:1. in practice = I think 2. does more good than harm 好处比坏处多,其他表达方法:be superior
to/ inferior to 比如:the advantages are superior to the disadvantages3. enable 使
范文1. Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test
(CET). Some people argue that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China
because we have been informed frequently that a Chinese student who has been learning English for
over ten years cannot even communicate with a native speaker. Sometimes even those top students who
excel in grammar and writing skills find their English inadequate to express their thoughts freely. A test of
English will bring the college students an awareness of the importance of oral English, and will thus help
them with their communicating skills.
使句子具有表现力的手段:1、用形容词修饰名词;2、副词修饰动词、副词修饰形容词
On the other hand, some others still maintain that a good command of reading and writing skills will be
enough for the English learners. To some extent their opinion derives from the fact that students are
already under considerable pressure from their opinion derives from the fact that students are already
under considerable pressure from their coursework. Another required test will only add to their burden.
Moreover, some students may take the shortcut by focusing on several guessed questions according to
the fixed format of the test, hoping for a coincidence to bring them good luck.
In my opinion, a test of spoken English will do more good than harm. Since China will continue its
policy of opening and reform, the ability to speak English fluently is a must for anyone who wants to
surpass others in a highly competitive society. Whether I take the test or not, I shall spare no efforts to
practice oral English in the remaining years of my college study.
范文21. Should smoking be banned?
Should smoking be banned? Answers to this question vary greatly. Some people are in favor of
the idea of smoking. They always say that it can get rid of the tiredness and make them refreshed. And
they also say that giving and being given cigarettes is a sign of friendship. Therefore, they carry
cigarettes with them wherever they go.
注:1. vary greatly 许多种2. be in favor of = agree/ be of the opinion that3. get rid of the tiredness
and make them refreshed 使人神清气爽4. Giving and being given 给与被给。主、被动关系在英文中用
现在、过去分词表达。
But other people consider it very harmful to people’s health. They have heard the official reports that
one person in the world dies from smoking every second. And they have heard the doctor’s warning that
smokers are more likely to have lung cancer and to increase their chances of having heart attack. In
addition, smoking pollutes the air and may cause fire accidents. Thus it has become a major threat to
people’s life and property.
注:1.They have heard the official reports that ... 官方报告表明……2. be more likely to 更有可能,更容
易3. chance 可能性
There is some truth in both arguments, but human’s life and property outweighs anything else. If
smoking brings us illness and death, why not have it banned by the government? Without cigarettes,
can’t we come up with better ways to express our friendship and to make us refreshed?
注:1. outweigh 比……重要,同样的表达:be superior to/ be inferior to。overweight 超重2. 最后用两句
反问句结尾,非常精妙。

范文17. My View on Fate
There is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of fate. Some people believe that
everyone is born to a certain that he can not change, while some other people think that every man is the
master of his own life.
注:1. consensus 相同意见2. 第一句话可以套用,如范文18:There is no consensus of opinions among
people as to the view of wealth.3. while 轻微转折和对比,强转折用词but, however4. master 主人
As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. There is a saying, “Everyone is the architect of
his own future.” Which means one’s fate is decided in his own hands. In fact, no one is destined to a
certain fate in his or her life. Those who claim that they were born to fail or be unlucky just can’t realize
how much inner strength and ability they have. We must depend on ourselves to changes our lives and
make us successful and happy.
注:1. 第一句as far as与I agree重复,把后半句改为the latter opinion seems more reasonable。2. architect
建筑师,archor 弓箭手3. In fact 前后是转折关系,之前从正面阐述,之后从反面阐述
范文17. My View on Fate (续)
Let’s take Helen Keller, an extraordinary American woman, for example. When she was only 19
months old, she became blind and deaf. Instead of accepting her misfortune helplessly, she showed
great courage and unconquerable spirit in fighting against her destined fate and was awarded the
President’s Medal of Freedom in 1964 because of the achievements she had made for helping the blind,

范文13. The Way to Success
第二段:Strong will, perseverance and diligence are the three essentials of success. A man of strong
will and perseverance always has an inflexible spirit. He sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might
be. Dr. Sun Yat-sen was such a man. Many of his attempts failed, but he held to his purpose with
firmness and finally succeeded in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty. Diligence means steadiness in one’s
work and study. Su Qin stabbed himself in order to keep attentive to studies. Marx often worked 15
hours a day. Life is short and we have many things to do. Without diligence no one can achieve
anything.

【短文】Changes in People’s Diet
In the past five years there have been many changes in people’s diet. Grain, as the main food of
most Chinese, is now playing a less important role, while the proportion of some high-energy foods, such
as milk and meat, has increased.
What has caused these changes? I think there are two reasons. First, people now have more
money. The price of meat and milk is much higher than that of grain, so in the old days people couldn’t
afford them. Now they have enough money to buy both meat and milk. Second, people nowadays pay
more attention to the elements of their diet. They look for a well-balanced diet that will be good for their
health.
In short, there have been changes in people’s diet in the past five years because of financial and
health reasons, and there will be further changes in the future.

【修改版】As can be seen from the table, the past five years has witnessed dramatic changes in
people’s diet. Grain, as the staple food of most Chinese, is now playing a less important role in their diet,
while the consumption of high quality food such as meat, milk and fruit has greatly increased.
There are two factors leading to the change. For one thing, people now enjoy a higher standard of
living. In the old days few families could afford meat and milk every day, which often meant a big chunk of
the family income. But now people have enough money to taste a rich verity of foods. For another, people
of today attach more attention to nutrition. They are not merely content to fill the stomach. They are
seeking the most reasonable diet which will do good to their health.
In a word, with people’s standard of living getting higher and higher, changes in their diet will be
more obvious and greater.

Practice Makes Perfect
Practice is the key to success in all fields of activity. It is practice alone which enables us to build up
speed and efficiency. When we accomplish something perfectly without wasting effort, this is the result of
long practice.
【改写为】An English proverb says/ One of the greatest men once remarked/ Nearly every civilization has
its own equivalent to the proverb: "Practice makes perfect". It means that/ In other words, it is practice
alone which enables us to build up speed and efficiency. When we accomplish something without
wasting effort, this is the result of long practice.
Practice Makes Perfect(续)
Take the study of English for example. Only practice can enable us to spell words correctly and
master the rules of grammar. And it is only through practice that we can become fluent in speaking and
writing, there is no other way. Another good example is sports. Practice is the only way to become
stronger and run faster. Besides, in team games practice is what improves our sense of cooperation and
helps the team to win.
【改写为】History/ Our society abounds with the examples of "Practice makes perfect". ......(正反两方面
都举例子) On the other hand/ On the contrary, no practice will only lead us to failure. There is hardly/
scarcely a man who can achieve success without practice. All evidence points to/ justifies/ lends supports
to the fact that practice is the key to success in all fields of activity.
举例一般为:英语学习;体育锻炼
To sum up, there can be no achievement which is not based on a solid foundation of practice.
【改写为】For us college students, the saying/ proverb has a profound and realistic significance: there
can be no achievement which is not based on a solid foundation of practice.

Obviously computers are becoming increasingly popular for males and for females. A multitude of factors
could account for the rise. In the first place, computers facilitate us in more aspects of life. Also, the rapid
development of the internet enlarges our demands for using computers. We can easily contact friends in
remote places through the internet. In the second place, the prices of computers are getting lower and
lower, which enable more students to purchase them.
However, there still exist some problems, such as, poor quality, out-of-date designs and so on. And how
to balance the time between using computers an studying is also a serious problem. Anyhow, we will
benefit a lot from computers as long as we use them properly.
