The West begun to take more notice of the East. (西方国家开始越来越关注东方国家)The fifth volume of an enormous work re-assessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China's invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.

In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static society under a relatively benevolent regime (仁慈的政体) of scholar-gentry (学者绅士) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West's mistakes？

1.How many volumes have been published so far？

A.Five.

B.Four.

C.Three.

D.None.

2.What is special about the first volume？

A.It introduces the world intellectual history.

B.It introduces the history of Europe.

C.It demonstrates that the Chinese made many inventions.

D.It explains why China lags behind the west in science and technology.

3.In the first paragraph, the word “skeptical" means ______.

A.doubtful

B.worried

C.sad

D.angry

4.Which of the following inventions in NOT made by the Chinese？

A.Gunpowder.

B.Motor cars.

C.Paddle boats.

D.Bridge design.

5.The best title for this passage is ______.

A.Development of Science and Technology in China

B.Comparisons Between the East and the West

C.China Is Catching Up

D.China's Inventions

第1题

The fridge is considered a necessity. (冰箱被认为是一个必需品。)It has been so since th

e 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label, “store in the refrigerator.”

In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily.The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher, the baker and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.

The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast way of well-tried techniques already existed--natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling…

What refrigeration did promote was marketing--marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animal around the globe in search of a good price.

Consequently, most of the world's fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house,while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.

The fridge's effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you don't believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off you fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers, but at least you'll get rid of that terrible hum.

1.The statement "In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. "( Para. 2) suggests that ______.

A.the author was well-fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fifties

B.the author was not accustomed to using fridges even in his fifties

C.there was no fridge in the author's home in the 1950s

D.the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s

2.Why does the author say that nothing was wasted before the invention of fridges?

A.People would not buy more food than was necessary.

B.Food was delivered to people two or three times a week.

C.Food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily.

D.People had effective ways to preserve their food.

3.Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author?

A.Inventors.

B.Manufacturers.

C.Consumers.

D.Travelling salesmen.

4.Which of the following phrases in the fifth paragraph indicates the fridge's negative effect on the environment?

A.Hum away continuously.

B.Artificially-cooled space.

C.Climatically almost unnecessary.

D.With mild temperatures.

5.What is the author's overall attitude toward fridges?

A.Neutral.

B.Objective.

C.Critical.

D.Compromising.

第2题

At the University of Kansas art museum, investigators tested the effects of different

colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. (在堪萨斯大学的艺术博物馆，研究者将来参观油画展览的人分成两组，测试不同颜色的墙对人的影响。)For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, the room was painted dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical system under the carpet. Investigators made careful observations and analyzed the data gathered and compared the differences between the two groups. The experiment revealed that those who entered the dark brown room walk more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than the people in the white environment. So the conclusion can be reached like this: dark brown stimulate more activity, but the activity ended sooner.

Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room communicates and influences those inside. Another experiment presented subjects(受试者) with photographs of faces that were to be rated in terms of energy and well-being. Three groups of subjects were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in a different kind of room. One group was in an "ugly" room that resembled a messy storeroom. Another group was in an average room-a nice office. The third group was in a tastefully designed living room with carpets and curtains. Results showed that the subjects in the beautiful room tended to give higher ratings to the faces than did those in the ugly room. Other studies suggest that students do better on tests taken in comfortable, attractive rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.

1.Investigators followed the movement of the two groups by ______.

A.an exhibit of paintings

B.constant observation

C.an electric device

D.the carpet

2.The first experiment showed that people who entered the white room ______ than the people in the dark brown room.

A.stayed longer in it

B.spent less time in it

C.were more active

D.walked more quickly

3.In the second experiment the subjects were asked to decide ______.

A.whether the people in the photos were bright or not

B.how energetic and healthy the people in the photos were

C.whether they liked the people in the photos or not

D.what mood the people in the photos were in

4.If students are to get better marks in exam, it's better to ______.

A.arrange them to sit in ordinary-looking rooms

B.decorate their bedrooms tastefully

C.ignore the environment they are in when they are taking exams

D.provide them with comfortable, nice rooms for taking the exam

5.The main idea of the passage is that ______.

A.studies make clear the effects of the color of a room on people's behavior

B.the color of a room affects the behavior. of the people in it

C.the color and general appearance of a room influence the behavior. and attitude of the people in it

D.beautifully decorated rooms can cheer up the people inside

第3题

Remember global warming? (记得全球变暖吗?) Back in December, the threat of climate ch

ange was thundering and the rich countries agreed to cut their carbon-dioxide and other green-house-related emissions. Since then, interest has cooled markedly, and many European countries are already running away from the promises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bit of action, to encourage renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms. These emit no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas.

The better, simpler idea is to remember that the easiest way to reduce something is to tax it - in this case, by taxing the carbon content power. The dirtier the power, the more tax it would pay. So dirty coal would be more expensive than clean coal, which would see its price rise in relation to oil, which would be more expensive compared with gas, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables.

Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would not remove the price differential between all renewables and fossil fuels. But it would narrow that gap, by fixing the differing environmental costs into the price - a useful principle in itself. It would also give renewable producers a strong incentive to cut costs, and fossil-fuel suppliers the motivation to clean their products.

Precedents suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But the disadvantage to carbon tax is political. After almost a decade of trying, the European Union gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germany’s ruling coalition is fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, politicians believe that even mentioning the notion is certain death. But many of the political objections could be met if a carbon tax were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payroll or sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new ways to tax, and rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument, not to abandon it.

1.According to the passage, the easiest way to remove global warming is ___________.

A.to encourage people to use renewable energies

B.to cut down the cost of wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms

C.to force people to pay more tax for the carbon content of power

D.to talk less but act more

2.The standard of paying tax was _________.

A.that the more carbon content of power it contained, the higher tax one would pay

B.that oil would be more expensive than clean coal

C.that renewables would be most expensive of all

D.in the order that renewables are the most expensive while clean coal the cheapest

3.We can infer from the passage that carbon tax ___________.

A.may not be as effective as people expect

B.has encouraged renewable producers to cut costs

C.has reduced consumption of the carbon content energy successfully

D.couldn’t be that effective if fossil fuels would not be forbidden

4.The word “crippling”(Para. 3) most probably means _________.

A.greatly increasing

B.seriously weakening

C.sharply declining

D.abruptly halting

5.The reason why many countries stopped introducing carbon tax eventually was mainly that ___________.

A.governments had tried to put it into effect for many years but with no obvious result

B.if one country made up the loss by paying the carbon tax, other countries would follow it

C.governments were afraid of being suspected if they adopted the new tax

D.governments had been discussing what to do with carbon tax for a long time, but they hadn’t come to an agreement

第4题

People with disabilities comprise a large part of the population. (残障人士占有人口的

People with disabilities comprise a large part of the population. (残障人士占有人口的大部分比例。)It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are "developmental", i.e., they occur prior to the individual's twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are severe enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered "adventitious", i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.

Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability.

In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements of civil rights. Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes. Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.

Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities, which might lead to the development of long-term relationships. It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws have that disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.

1.A "developmental" disability ______.

A.develops very slowly over time

B.is caused by outside forces

C.occurs in youth and affects development

D.is getting more and more severe

2.Most disabled people used to die early because ______.

A.disabilities destroyed major bodily functions

B.they could not receive medical care

C.they were not very well looked after

D.they were too poor to get proper treatment

3.What are the two important obstacles that stop the disabled from participating in the society?

A.Public awareness and poverty

B.Poverty and lack of medical treatment

C.Lack of education and the right to vote

D.Transport and public awareness

4.In the author's opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society, ______.

A.more laws should be passed

B.more public facilities should be set up

C.government should provide more aids

D.public attitudes should be changed

5.The best title for this passage might be ______.

A.The difficulties of the Disabled

B.Handicaps of People with Disabilities

C.The Causes for Disabilities

D.Medical Treatments for Disabilities

第5题

Halloween (October 31) is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many co

untries. (万圣节(10月31日)是一个在很多国家用不同名字广泛庆祝的节日。)Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children's day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand.

The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as decorations in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations. Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one's neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances. More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, "Trick or Treat", meaning "I will play a trick on you if you do not give me a treat."

This practice has even more recently developed into a significant international activity. Instead of or along with candy, the children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as "UNICEF Trick or Treat". Begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin.

1.What does Halloween originate from?

A.A children's day.

B.A children's trick.

C.A religious day.

D.A UNICEF day.

2.What is the symbol of Halloween?

A.Pumpkin

4.Why do children collect money in the Halloween?

A.They love money.

B.They want to get enough money to buy themselves candy.

C.The adults are willing to give them money.

第6题

There’s a great story about an old Finnish woman who, without quite realizing it, was

using her cell-phone to access the Internet and track her city’s public transit system. (有个好故事是关于一位芬兰老妇女的，她在完全不了解的情况下用她的手机上网并追踪她城市的公共交通系统。)When asked why she used the wireless Internet so frequently, she replied, “What are you talking about? I don’t know anything about this wireless Internet stuff. I just know the bus is here.”

Regardless of whether you want to admit it, a lot of us are like that old Finnish woman. When it comes to new mobile applications, many of us do not realize the capability and power that we hold, literally, in our hands.

What we are looking at today is the mobile Internet in its infancy. Now that using the Internet from home or work has saturated much of society, the next logical step is to be able to use the Net when you are far away from your desktop or laptop. Speech recognition is one way to do this, and there are a number of services, collectively called the “voice Web”, that will make this possible. All you do is to use a phone or wireless device to call a phone number, and speak commands to an intuitive system. It will then give you the information you’re seeking, using either a synthesized voice or an audio file.

In the United States and Europe, the hot technology for wireless devices is called WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), which is being considered as the world standard. WAP is supported by major phone companies including Nokia, Motorola and Ericsson, and is simply a means of transmitting information, much like HTML which is a means of communicating on the Internet.

Currently, wireless Internet connections may give you news, sports scores, stock quotes, and the weather if you’re lucky. But if you’ve ever used this technology, you know it’s slow, costly and doesn’t seem worth the time and effort, if it works at all. All of this technology points to easier living. Perhaps you’ll need to find a restaurant for an occasional business meeting. You’ll press a button on your mobile phone, and access the Internet to pull up a list of great restaurants in your immediate area. You’ll hit another button, say a few words into the handset and you’ve got a reservation for four.

1.The author uses the story of an old Finnish woman to indicate that __________.

A.she is ignorant of some common knowledge

B.public transit system contains the accessory to Internet

C.many people are unaware of the function of the new appliances being used

D.the Internet is experiencing rapid growth

2.The word “saturate”(Para. 3) most probably means _________.

A.state

B.utilize

C.despise

D.fill

3.According to the text, WAP is a __________.

A.technology standard set by major phone companies

B.substitution of HTML which can be applied on the Internet

C.means of exchanging information

D.software application for transmitting voice over telephone lines

4.We can infer from the passage that the mobile Internet is different from the previous Internet in that the former __________.

A.can be accessed by desktop computers

B.has no need for wire appliances

C.can be used to book a table in a restaurant

D.is equipped with speech recognition systems

5.What is the attitude of the author towards the future of mobile Internet?

A.Indifferent

B.Neutral

C.Optimistic

D.Pessimistic

Regular child care provided outside home or by someone other than the mother does not

in itself undermine healthy emotional connections between mothers and their 15-month-old infants, (除了母亲，找外面或其他人经常性照顾孩子，就其本身而言，并没有破坏母亲和她们15个月大婴儿之间的感情联系)， according to a long-term national study. The finding holds even if care begins during the first 3 months after birth and runs for 30 hours or more per week.

Among infants who receive unkind and unresponsive care from their mothers, however, the mother-child relationship may be damaged. "This research helps us put apart complexities regarding child care that have not previously been studied in detail," contends Jay Belsky, a psychologist.

The investigation consists of 1,153 children and their families living in or near Boston. The youngsters, no more than 1 month old when they entered the study in 1991, will be tracked until the age of 7. Experimenters administered questionnaires to mothers in their homes and videotaped baby caretakers interacting with the kids at ages 1, 6 and 15 months. Independent observers rated the quality of each child care efforts and noted infant nervousness. Unlike most previous studies, this one allows researchers to observe each caretaker's personality at child nursing, and kids' emotional reactions by the equipment.

1.From the first paragraph we know that ______.

A.mother care is the best according to a national study

B.child care outside home is the best in accordance with the study

C.regular child care outside home does not in itself do harm to mother-child relationship

D.connections between mothers and infants are damaged by outside care

2.According to the passage, unresponsive care from a mother may ______.

A.ruin a kid's growth

B.harm the mother-child tie

C.hurt a baby's emotional reaction

D.spoil a child's personality

3.Jay Belsky implies that the study of child care ______.

A.was never carried out in the past

B.was not done much in detail in the past

C.was greatly ignored by psychologists and researchers

D.was interesting but very difficult to make discovery

4.The main difference between the investigation and the previous ones is that ______.

A.the researchers started with only one month old infants

B.the observers could rate the quality of child care efforts and analyzed them soon

C.the researchers were able to give the questionnaires to mothers in their homes

D.video equipment enabled researchers to observe what was happening directly

5.Which of the following is NOT TRUE of the investigation?

A.It will last at least 7 years.

B.Cooperation from the mothers is also necessary.

C.Some independent observers play a part.

D.Researchers paid site visits to see a caretaker's personality and kids' emotional reactions.

A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous a

nd helpful most Americans were to them. (到美国的访问者一贯带回来的报告是多数美国人对他们是多么的友好、谦恭和乐于助人)To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment. For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence.

Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world. The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality.

Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didn’t take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation. Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. "I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner - amazing." Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly.

The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition. As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to "translate" cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word "friend", the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor’s language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.

1.In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ___________.

A.rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US

B.small-minded officials deserve a serious comment

C.Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors

D.most Americans are ready to offer help

2.It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________.

A.culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship

B.courteous convention and individual interest are interrelated

C.various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends

D.social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions

3.Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ___________.

A.to improve their hard life

B.in view of their long-distance travel

C.to add some flavor to their own daily life

D.out of a charitable impulse

4.The tradition of hospitality to strangers ___________.

A.tends to be superficial and artificial

B.is generally well kept up in the United States

C.is always understood properly

D.has something to do with the busy tourist trails

5.What’s the author’s attitudes toward the American’s friendliness?

A.Favorable.

B.Unfavorable.

C.Indifferent.

D.Neutral.

There will be lots of new aromas(香味)at the Rocky Gap Music Festival this weekend. (

There will be lots of new aromas(香味)at the Rocky Gap Music Festival this weekend. (这个周末在罗基加普音乐节上将会有很多种新的香味。) Those aromas will come from cigars - lots of cigars. The organizers of this year's festival decided to have a cigar bar at Rocky Gap after they saw the success of cigar bars at other music festivals. Lee Schwartz is the owner of a cigar store in Cumberland, Maryland. The festival organizers asked him if he would sell his cigars at the Rocky Gap festival. Schwartz thought it was a good idea.

A larger number of people are now smoking cigars. There has been a huge increase in the number of people who smoke cigars. According to Schwartz, “the number of cigar smokers has exploded. International cigar sales have increased by 500 percent in the last three years.”

Schwartz said that his store sells 70 different cigar brands. “Three years ago,” he said, “we sold about 150 cigars a month in my shop. Now that they are so popular, we sell about 450 a month.” There is a lot of demand for good, imported cigars. Schwartz said he gets his cigars from importers, manufacturers, and sales representatives.

“Cigars became very popular a few years ago. But there was not enough supply to meet the demand, because it can take up to five years to produce a good, aged cigar,” Schwartz said. During the last few months, more cigars have become available. They are getting easier to find and buy now. In fact, cigar bars are opening all over the country. Both men and women enjoy cigars. Schwartz said that 75 percent of imported cigar manufacturers are Hispanic. “I found out,” he said, “that to conduct business, I'm going to have to learn a second language.”

1.The passage focuses on _____.

A.getting rid of smoking

B.harms of having cigars

C.the increasing cigar sale

D.the industry of cigarettes

2.Why did the organizers decide to have a cigar bar at the Music Festival?

3.The word “explode” in the 2ndparagraph means _____.

A.to burst with a violent release of energy

B.to increase quickly in a short period

C.to show a violent emotional reaction

D.to emerge with violence or big noise

4.The amount of cigars sold in Schwartz's shop now is _____times as many as three years ago.

A.3

B.4

C.5

D.6

第10题

Throughout the colonial period there was a remarkable shortage of women, (在殖民时期，

女性成为紧缺资源),which varied with the regions and was always greatest in the frontier areas. This shortage enhanced (提高)women's status and position and allowed them to pursue different careers. The puritans (清教徒) regarded idleness as a sin (罪恶), and believed that life in an underdevelopment country made it necessary that each member of the community performed an economic function. Thus work for women was not only approved but also was regarded as a civic (公民的) duty. Puritan town councils expected widows and independent women to be self-supporting. There was no social prohibition against married women working; on the contrary, wives were expected to help their husbands in their trade and won social approval for doing extra work in or out of the home.

The vast majority of women worked within their homes, where their labor produced most articles needed for the family. The entire colonial production of cloth and clothing and partly that of shoes was in the hands of women. In addition to these occupations, women were found in many different kinds of employment. They were butchers, silversmiths and gunsmiths. They ran mills, plantations, shipyards, and every kind of shop. They were gatekeepers, jail keepers, journalists, printers, nurses, and teachers.

1.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A.Colonial marriages.

B.The puritan religion.

C.Colonial women's employment.

D.Education in the colonies.

2.According to the passage, where in colonial North America were there the fewest women?

A.Puritan communities.

B.Seaports.

C.Frontier settlements.

D.Capital cities.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that the Puritans were ______.

A.uneducated

B.hardworking

C.generous

D.wealthy

4.According to the passage, Puritans believed that an unmarried adult woman should be ______.

A.financially responsible for herself

B.returned to England

C.supported by her family

D.trained to be a nurse

5.According to the passage, what did the Puritans expect from married women?

A.They should adopt needy children.

B.They should assist in their husbands' trade or business.

C.They should work only within their own homes.

D.They should be apprenticed.
