【考点】推理判断问题
【精析】b题干的宗旨是可以从文章中推断出____。 根据第六段第二句“it’sagainstthelawtomakefalseclaimssotheytrytomisleadyouwiththetruth .”，由于作出虚假声明是违法的，广告商们似乎用事实来欺骗消费者由此可知，由于信息不完全，广告有时会引起误解，选择项b是正确的。 a项与题意不一致的选项c、d在文中没有提及。 所以选b。
3、【答】a
【考点】主旨主题
【精析】a题干的宗旨，与划线词“deception”的意思最接近的是“______”。 根据阅读全文最后一段的最后一句“Lies are lies，andsometimesthetruthcanlieaswell .”，本文主要说的是用事实说谎，所以这里deception的意思是“说谎” dishonestly :不诚实、欺诈； suggestion :提案； situation :状况，状况； 故障：失败。 在四个选项中a项与其含义最接近。 所以选a。
4、【答案】a
【考点】主旨主题

5、【答案】c
【考点】主旨主题
【精析】题目的大意是，这篇文章的恰当主题是_____。 文章第一句指出了主旨：小心用事实欺骗的人。 以下五段作者分别以彩票获得者的谎言、竞选活动中的谎言、广告中的谎言为例论述了这一观点。 而在最后一段，目的是提醒人们，谎言是谎言，有时事实也有可能成为谎言，理性地看待听到的和看到的。 a项是“诚实有好处”的意思； b项是“人人都撒谎”的意思； c项是“用事实说谎”的意思； d项意为“广告中的重要战略”。 c项最能概括文章的宗旨。 所以选择c。

答案解析
1.A【考点】猜测词义题

College is a new and different experience for me. I\’m away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.
First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own. My parents aren\’t around to say, \”No, you\’re not going out tonight,\” or \”Did you finish your homework?\” Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!
Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Mary mount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn\’t know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, \”Are you a new student?\” When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, \”Oh, just follow us; that\’s where we\’re going.\” Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm (学生宿舍）because there are friendly people around to talk with.
I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn\’t mean I don\’t think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!
1.The text is perhaps written by _________.
A.a new student
B.a new teacher

Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That\’ s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.
Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.
Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends.

It is a terrible illustration of man \’ s weakness to nature ,and the tsunami (海啸) that struck the Japanese coast in March, 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.
Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warning systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international warning systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.
But an early warning system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it\’ s close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.
1. The first paragraph tells us that .
A. man can easily defeat the nature

Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.
The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良) and heat-related health problems.
But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.
Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.
Roger Pielke Jr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”
However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.
In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.
1.What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?
A.Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.
B.Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.
C.Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.
D.Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.
2. What do we learn about the Forum’s report from the passage?
A.It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.
B.It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.
C.It was warmly received by environmentalists.
D.It caused a big stir in developing countries.
3. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum’s report?
A.Its statistics look embarrassing.
B.It is invalid in terms of methodology.
C.It deserves our closest attention.
D.Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.
4. What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?
A.Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.
B.It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.
C.It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.
D.Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.
5.What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?
A.How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.
B.How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.
C.How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.
D.How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.

Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.
But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.
Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share―this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.
As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate (垂涎) over the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care.
As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.
Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.
1. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?
A.It is a kind of iced water.
B.It is just plain tap water.
C.It is a kind of bottled water.
D.It is a kind of mineral water.
2. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water (Line 3 Para2),” Von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that .
A.plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinking
B.bottled water is clearly superior to tap water
C.bottled water often appeals more to dogs taste
D.dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste
3. The fancier brands (Line 3 Para 5) refers to .
A.tap water from the Thames River
B.famous wines not sold in ordinary stores
C.Pepsi Co’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani
D.expensive bottled water with impressive names
4. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?
A.Bottled water brings in huge profits.
B.Competition from the wine industry is intense.
C.Most diners find bottled water affordable.
D.Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable.
5. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular?
A.It is much cheaper than wine.
B.It is considered healthier.
C.It appeals to more cultivated people.
D.It is more widely promoted in the market.
答案解析
1.【考点】推理判断题。
【解析】C.文章在开头即提到了Iceberg Water，讲到它在北美的人气达到了新的高度，其源头是取自取自加拿大纽芬兰的冰川。从全篇来看，本文以瓶装水为论述的核心，说明其在当今社会的火爆程度，这与开头所述Iceberg Water人气达到新高的叙述意义一致。而在提到Iceberg Water之后的第二段，文章紧接着介绍了一位瓶装水专业人士对瓶装水流行原因的看法。由此来看，Iceberg Water很可能是一种瓶装水，文章以它来开头有引出论题的作用。A说是一种冰水，B说是一种普通自来水，C说是一种瓶装水，D说是一种矿物质水。故C是正确答案。
2.【考点】语义猜测题。
【解析】B.这句话的意义必须结合上下文来理解。这句话出现在第二段，从这一段可 知这位饮用水大师自小就对瓶装水兴趣浓厚，甚至为了追踪最喜爱的牌子特意保有一份水杂志。作者的这些叙述显然传达了一个信息：瓶装水可谓是此人的至爱。那么在这种隐含意义下，他所说的瓶装水与自来水的区别决不真正是二者的实在区别，而是要突出瓶装水要优于自来水;连狗都能分辨这种区别，这是一种夸张说法，意在表明二者的差距之大。
3.【考点】语义猜测题。
【解析】D.fancier应该是fancy的比较级，fancy有“别致、价格高昂的”的意思，brands指品牌。理解它具体的含义还是要看上下文。这个词组出现在第五段最后一句中，意思是：饭店一般把酒价标高100%到150%，而瓶装水常常会达到300%到500%。不过水要比酒便宜得多，同时许多fancier brands在商店里买不到，因此用餐者就没有注意或者并不在乎。
从最后一句结论可以推测，fancier brands很有可能是更贵的水品牌，因为如果这些奢侈牌子在商店里买不到，人们就无从知道它的合理价格，即便到了饭店以高价挨宰(标高500%)，他们也并不知情，也就注意不到或不会在乎。只有这样逻辑才能通顺。
4.【考点】细节题。
【解析】A.第六段开头说“结果，一些饭店加大力度售卖瓶装水”，证明他们这样做的原因在上一段已经给出说明，第五段的第一句“瓶装公司和饭店都对销售品牌瓶装水的利润垂涎三尺”就是原因。
5.【考点】事实细节题。
【解析】B.根据最后一段可知只有B与原文意义一致。

When I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 1998, I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim, and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often speak at the same time in the other’s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his fridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn’t need to do that. He said that it was Jim’s own fault and that it served him right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of value.

I have introduced him to the dean of the Overseas Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the overseas students Chinese.

Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. “Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.”
It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents’ over favoring can make them spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.”
Today’s rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.
1. According to the passage, children of rich families __________.
A. enjoy traveling
B. can buy love
C. usually commit suicide
D. are not always happy
2. Dr. Robert Coles believes that __________.
A. being rich has as many advantages as being poor
B. rich children often get too little entertainment
C. rich children sometimes can\”t enjoy the thing they are most in need of

3. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
A. It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.
B. Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.
C. Money can\”t buy everything.
D. Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.
4. The expression “silver spoons” in Paragraph 1 means __________.
A. very expensive spoons
B. rich people
C. wealth
D. spoons made of silver
5. This article is written mainly to tell readers that __________.
A. the rich are more likely to do away with themselves
B. money can bring a lot of things, including love
C. life is always happy for children of rich parents
D. rich parents should realize what is important in the family is love rather than money

Charlene，a 16-year-old student at a high school, found herself faced with a maths test to which she knew none of the answers. Rather than fail, she took the test out with her and filled in the answers with the help of her friends. During a break, she got back into the classroom without being seen, crumpled(揉,皱) the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor. The teacher thought it had been dropped when the tests were recollected, she corrected it, and Charlene received a B.
Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today, educators are finding that cheating on the part of students has become more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friend’s homework, using a prepared sheet on an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in one’s hand, or paying someone else to write a term paper, cheating appears to have gained acceptance among a growing number of students between 13 and 19.
In a 1978 study of cheating at 22 high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike——although both boys and girls said they thought boys cheated more.
Why is student on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values among today’s youth. They point to facts showing increased damage of public things and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate(水门事件), have a disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher position.
Others think that today’s youth are far more practical than their forefathers(先辈). In the late sixties and early seventies, students were failed with imaginations about changing the world, but today’s students feel great stress to succeed.
1. According to Paragraph 1, Charlene took the test out because .
A. her friends could answer none of the problems.
B. she tore the test paper to pieces.
C. she stepped her shoes on the test paper.
D.she didn’t want to fail in the maths test.
2. Charlene passed the test because .
A. she answered all the questions by herself.
B. she did the test by cheating.
C. she persuaded her teacher to give her a B.
D. she returned to the classroom to redo the test.
3. Which of the following is not an example to show that cheating is becoming more and more common?
A .student pays another for doing a test paper.
B. student writes down something to be tested before an exam.
C. student gets well prepared in his studies before an exam.
D. student gets homework from his classmate and then copies it.
4. The 1978 study of cheating in Georgia shows that .
A. only students in the 24 high schools cheated in examinations.
B. both good and poor students cheated in examinations
C. more girls cheated in examinations than boys did.
D. boys liked cheating while girls didn’t like it.
5.One of the facts for the rise of cheating is that .
A. more and more public things are damaged
B. good values disappoint students
C. more and more students begin to steal
D. honest people are in higher positions.

Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction(科幻小说).Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature,but its ancestors (原型)can be found in books written hundreds of years ago.These books are often concerned with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.
Most of classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G Wells, to mention just two well-known authors，have been translated into many languages.
Modern science fiction writers don\’t write shout men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection(反映)of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones(含意).
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes(超越)science fiction,the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Science fiction is fairly new in literature.
B.Science fiction is rather popular with people today.

A.one hundred years ago

Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women.Career women are healthier than housewives.Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever unemployment rate increases by 1%,the death rate increases correspondingly by 2%.All this comes down to one point :work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for healthy ?It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness.
Researches show that people feel unhappy,worried and lonely when they have nothing to do.Instead the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard.Work serves as a bridge between man and reality.By work people come into with each other.By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health.The loss of work means the loss of everything.It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.

The first true piece of sports equipment that man invented was the ball.
In ancient Egypt, as everywhere,pitching stones was a favorite children’s game.But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child.Looking for something less dangerous to throw,the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.
At first,balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines.Later they were made of pieces of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay.Even though the Egyptians were warlike,they found time for peaceful games.Before long they had developed a number of ball games,each with its own set of rules.Perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun. Ball playing was thought of mainly as a way to teach young men the speed and skill they would need for war.
1.The ball was probably invented because ____.
A.throwing stones was not fun
B.throwing stones often caused injuries
C. games with stones did not have rules

A. to design stone-throwing games
B. to invent peaceful games

【参考答案】
1.【答案】B【精析】信息明示题。答案在第二段的第二、三句，“但是一块重重掷出的石头可能使孩子受伤。为了找到某种危险性较小的投掷物，埃及人造出了最初的球。”说明球的发明起初是因为投掷石头过于危险了，需要寻找替代品，因此选B意思是“丢石头经常引起受伤\”;A项是“丢石头不好玩”,C项“丢石头的游戏没有规贝)”和D项“石斗手祝夹去重..都不符合立童的竟思。
2.【答案】C【精析】推理判断题。答案在文章首句，“第一件人类发明的真正体育用品就是球。而后文又讲了球是埃及人首先发明的。所以选c项“埃及人首创了一种体育器具”;其他三项在文中均找不到对应根据。
3.【答案】C【精析】推理判断题。答案在文章最后两句，“他们玩球类游戏的目的，很可能注重教育多于娱乐。球类游戏那时主要是一种方法，用于教授年轻人他们在战争中将需要的速度和技巧。”可见玩球类游戏是很有意义的，因此选C项“值得做的”;A项“孩子气的，幼稚的”,B项“危险的”都属于贬义;D项“难的，，没有抓住主要的意思，都不能人选。
4.【答案】C【精析】信息明示题。c项的意思为“为了教尾的目的”(见第三题精析);A项“为了娱乐”B“因为他们爱好运动”和D项“为了金牌”都不;文中所说的原因。
5.【答案】A【精析】主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了球类运动的起源，因此应该选“最初的球类游戏，，作为标题;B项意为“埃及孩子如何玩游戏”，连文章的主要对象球类运动都没有提到;C项“运动的起源”和D项“埃及的运动”都与B项有同样的问题，太过空泛。
