Brotherly Love

Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a century.Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes, World Cup-winning football heroes, Muhammad Ali, hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world.But the story of these two companies begins in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach, Germany.Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker.They loved sport but complained that they could never find comfortable shoes to play in.Rudolph always said, 'You cannot play sports wearing shoes that you'd walk around town with.' So they started making their own.In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletics shoes with spikes（釘），produced on the Dasslers' kitchen table.On lst July 1924 they formed a shoe company, Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many years.The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany's athletes at the 1928 and 1932 Olympic Games.But in 1948 the brothers argued.No one knows exactly what happened, but family members have suggested that the argument was about money or women.The result was that Adolph left the company.His nickname was Adi, and using this and the first three letters of the family name, Dassler, he founded Adidas.Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company too.At first he wanted to call it Ruda, but eventually he called it Puma, after the wild cat.The famous Puma logo of the jumping cat has hardly changed since.After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies have now been in competition for over sixty years.Both companies were for many years the market leaders, though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma.A hip hop group, Run DMC, has even written a song called “My Adidas” and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok, another big sports shoe company.The terrible family argument should really be forgotten, but ever since it happened, over sixty years ago, the town has been split into two.Even now, some Adidas employees and Puma employees don't talk to each other.16.Adidas and puma began to make shoes at the end of 19th century.A.Right

Who Built Giza’s Pyramids（金字塔）? For centuries, the pyramids of Giza have been timeless symbols of Egyptian culture.But who actually built them? For years, we did not know for sure.But archeologists（考古學家）recently discovered an ancient village near the pyramids.Close by, there was also a cemetery（墓地）where pyramid builders were buried.From studying these places, archeologists can now confirm that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners.Ordinary Egyptians built them.It took about eighty years to build the pyramids.According to archeologists, about 20,000-30,000 people were involved in completing the task.The workers had different roles.Some dug up the rock, some moved it, and some shaped it into blocks.People also worked on different teams, each with its own name.On a wall in Khufu's Great Pyramid, for example, a group of workers wrote “Friends of Khufu.” Teams often competed to do a job faster.Life for these workers was hard.“We can see that in their skeletons（骨架）,” says Azza Mohamed Sarry El-Din, a scientist studying bodies found in the cemetery.The bones show signs of arthritis(關節炎), which developed from carrying heavy things for a long time.Archeologists have also found many female skeletons in the village and cemetery.The damage to their bones is similar to the men's.Their lives may have been even tougher: male workers lived to age 40-45, but women to only 30-35.However, workers usually had enough food, and they also had medical care if they got sick or hurt.The work was challenging, but laborers were proud of their work.”lt's because they were not just building the tomb of their king,“ says Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass.“They were building Egypt.It was a national project, and everyone was a participant.”

第一篇

From Ponzi to Madoff

The year was 1920.The country was the United States of America.The man's name was Charles Ponzi.Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account.Instead, they should give it to him to save for them.Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank.For example, a savings account might pay you $5 a year for every $100 you deposit.Ponzi, however, would pay you $40 a year for every $100 you gave him to hold.Many people thought this was a good plan.They began to give their money to Ponzi.How could Ponzi make so much money for people? This is what he did with the money people gave him: He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money.However, he also kept a lot of the money for himself.Soon he had $250 million.This was a kind of theft, and it was against the law.The people who gave him their money didn't think anything was wrong.Ponzi paid them every month, just like a bank.Ponzi continued this way of working for two years.Then one day, he didn't have enough money to pay all the people.They discovered his crime, and he went to prison for fraud.Ninety years later, people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff.People said he gave good advice about money.They said when they gave him their money, he paid them a lot more than the bank.Madoff helped hospitals, schools, and individuals earn money.Over a period of 40 years, people gave him $170 billion.However, no one investigated what he did with the money.The people who gave Madoff their money also didn't think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.One day, Madoff didn't have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay.That's when people discovered how Madoff worked: He was taking money from some people to pay other people, just the way Charles Ponzi did.However, this time, instead of losing millions of dollars, people lost billions.Madoff was accused of fraud, and United States government officials arrested him.He didn't have to go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009, a judge sentenced him t0 150 years in prison.Bernard Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi's.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story is clear: When something seems too good to be true, it probably is!

Puerto Rican Cuisine（菜肴）

Puerto Rico, a Caribbean(加勒比海區)island rich in history and remarkable natural beauty, has a cuisine all its own.Immigration（移民）to the island has helped to shape its cuisine, with people from all over the world making various contributions to it.However, before the arrival of these immigrants, the Taino people lived on the island of Puerto Rico.Taino cuisine included such foods as rodents(嚙齒動物), fresh shellfish and fish fried in corn oil.Many aspects of Taino cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking, but it has been heavily influenced by the Spanish, who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508, and Africans, who were initially brought to Puerto Rico to work as slaves.Taino cooking styles were mixed with ideas brought by the Spanish and Africans to create new dishes.The Spanish extended food choices by bringing cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep to the island.Africans also added to the island's food culture by introducing powerful, contrasting tastes in dishes.In fact, much of the food Puerto Rico is now famous forwas actually imported by foreigners to the island.A common assumption many people make about Puerto Rican food is that it is very spicy(辛辣的).lt's true that chili peppers are popular;aij caballero in particular is a very hot chili pepper that Puerto Ricans enjoy.However, milder(微辣的)tastes are popular too, such as sofrito.As the base of many Puerto Rican dishes, sofrito is a sauce made from chopped onions, green bell peppers, sweet chili peppers, and a handful of other spices.It is fried in oil and then added to other dishes.36、who lived in Puerto Rico first

第三篇

The Changing Middle Class

The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation.However，middle class is not a real designation，nor does it carry privileges（特權）.It is more of a perception，which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War II.The economy was growing，more and more people owned their own homes，workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them，and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one.Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility.They may have started out poor，but they could become rich.Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility.In other words，they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.The middle class collectively holds several values and principles.One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one’s own economic fate.In addition, middle-class morality（道德觀）embraces principles of individual responsibility, importance of family, obligations to others，and believing in something outside oneself.But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success.A U.S.News & World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet.Both spouses now worked, as did some of the children;long commutes became routine;the need for child care put strains on the family;and public schools were not as good as they once were.Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat.The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.41.This passage gives information about

A.a social and economic group.B.an individual.C.a political organization.D.a government department.42.In the years after World War II, the middle class were

A.overburdened and in debt.B.hard working and doubtful.C.happy and full of hope.D.young and upset.43.One important middle-class value is that

A.people should always have fun.B.children should believe in themselves.C.debt is nothing to worry about.D.they should earn enough to finance their lifestyles.44.In the second paragraph, the word ”collectively' means

A.hesitatingly.B.unknowingly.C.weakly.D.commonly.45.The 1994 survey showed most Americans thought the middle class

A.took pleasure in raising children.B.had a regular journey to work.C.could not earn enough money to maintain their lifestyles.D.could easily maintain their lifestyles.【答案】：ACDDC 第5部分：補全短文（第46～50題，每題2分，共10分）

What Is Giobalization ?

It was the anti—globalization movement that really put globalization on the map.As a word it has existed since the 1 960s，but the protests against this allegedly new process，which its opponents condemn as a way of ordering people’S lives，brought globalization out of the financial and academic worlds and into everyday current affairs.()

In the late 1 980s and early 1 990s.the business model called the“globalized”financial market came to be seen as an entity that could have more than just an economic impact on the parts of the world it touched.Globalization came to be seen as more than simply a way of doing business，or running financial markets—it became a process.From then on the word took on a life of its own.So how does the globalized market work? It is modern communications that make it possible;for

the British service sector to deal with its customers through a call centre in India，or for a sportswear(運動服)manufacturer to design its products in Europe，make them in south.east Asia and sell them in north America.()

But this is where the anti—globalization side gets stuck in(關注).If these practices replace domestic economic life with an economy that is heavily influenced or controlled from overseas.then the creation of a globalized economic model and the process of globalization can also be seen as a surrender of power to the corporations，or a means of keeping poorer nations in their place。

Not everyone agrees that globalization is necessarily evil，or that globalized

corporations are running the lives of individuals or are more powerful than nations.Some say that the spread of globalization，free markets and free trade into the developing world is the best way to beat poverty—the only problem is that free markets and free()trade do not yet truly exist.Globalization can be seen as a positive，negative or even marginal process.And regardless of whether it works for good or ill，globalization’S exact meaning will continue to be the subject of debate among those who oppose，support or simply observe it。

16.Globalization is a term used only in the financial and academic worlds.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned()

17.Globalization can be best understood as a way of doing business.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

18.Modern communications play an important role in globalization.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

19.Britain has benefited quite a lot from globalization.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

20.The opponent believe that globalization will keep the poorer nations in poverty.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

21.The opponents think that globalization corporations have more power than nations.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

22.Free markets and free trade will eventually prevail.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned()

A New Citizenship Test Last week a sample of the new US citizenship(公民身份)exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services(US—CLS).It will be tried out in 1 0 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008.Instead of asking how many stripes the USflag has，as the current test does，the new one asks why there are 13 stripes。Instead ofhaving to name the branches of government，an applicant is asked to explain why thereare three.“The goal is to make it more meaningful.”explains Emilio Gonzalez，director of theUS—CIS。Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better“understanding and respect”for US civic(公民的)values，Gonzalez says.The US isn’t the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a“ sharedcommitment”from immigrants for their adopted country’s“values”，In recent years，Inaddition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status-severalEuropean countries have adopted citizenship tests.Britain introduced a new citizenshiptest last November.In March，a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would—beimmigrants to take a citizenship test.It involved watching a video showing nude(裸體的)women bathing at beaches and gay(同性戀的)men kissing in public.The aim was toensure that“newcomers will be comfortable with the country’S liberal social mores(風俗)”.Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades.But，today，the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they becomehostile to each other.Promoting integration has become a major concern for Europeancountries.after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes(少數民族聚居區)in France and the killingof Dutch public figures by religious extremists.Officials believe that a person’s attachment to a country can be tested by his or herknowledge of the country.However，some critics say that the changes can do little to helppeople’assimilate(同化)themselves.“Immigration is a culture war today-Is giving a newtest the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?”says Ali Noorani，of theMassachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition(難民辯護聯盟)paragraph 2___________ paragraph 3___________ paragraph 4___________ paragraph 5___________

第一篇Centers of the Great European Cities

The centers of the great cities of Europe are meeting places by tradition-People gather there to drink coffee and chat late into the night.A mixture of locals and tourists make for an exciting，metropolitan atmosphere.Squares，plazas(廣場)and arcades(拱廊)form the heart of Europe’s cities.Venice in Italy has the Piazza San Marco—a beautiful square surrounded by shops，churches，restaurants and caf6s.In Barcelona，Spain，LaBosqueria is a lively market with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of goods.London’s Covent Garden is filled with fruit and vegetable stalls by day and musicians，acrobats(雜技演員)and artists by night.The government buildings at the center of many cities often are architecturally impressive.In London，they serve as a beautiful backdrop(背景)to the coffee tables that line the streets and the banks of the Thames.These vibrant(有活力的)hearts are the product of centuries of evolution，social historian Joel Garreau told US News and World Report recently.“The reason people think Venice is so great today is you don’t see all the mistakes，”said Garreau-“ Those have all been removed.”Most European cities were laid out before the invention of the car, so bars.restaurants and cafes were near to，people’s homes.Today，the focus of many Europeans’life has moved away from the centers.They live in the suburbs and outskirts，driving to supermarkets to get their supplies.But on a continent where people treasure convention，there are still those who hold onto traditional ways，living and shopping locally.These people.together with tourists，provide the city centers with the reason for existence.Coffee culture plays a part in keeping these city centers flourishing.this is Particularly true of Paris whose citizens are famous enthusiastic conversationalists this skill is developed over many hours spent chatting over espressos(濃咖啡)and cigarettes.Religion also plays a role in developing sociable atmosphere.People In Roman Catholic countries used to visit the Church on an almost daily basis.Entire communities would gather in the same building and then move out to the markets.cafes and bars In the surrounding streets.An enormous example of this relationship between church and society is the Duomo。The huge marble cathedral in Florence，Italy IS surrounded by bakeries and coffee shops，and caters not only to the tourist crowds，but also the local community.31.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that each big city in Europe

A.has many large squares.B.has many very magnificent sky-scrapers.C.draws tourists in large numbers every year

D.has a center where tourists meet their spouses.32.Which statement is NOT true of Covent Garden?

You hear this：“No wonder you are fat.All you ever do is eat.”You feel sad：t “I skip my breakfast and supper.I run every morning and evening.What else can I do?”Basically you can do nothing。

Your genes，not your life habits，determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it.Albert Stunkard of the University of Pennsylvania found from experiments that，“80 percent of the children of two obese(肥胖的)parents become obese，as compared with no more than 14 percent of the offspring of two parents of normal weight.”

How can obese people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well，dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous.Jules Hirsch，a research physician at Rockefeller University, did a study of eight fat people。They were given a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day.After more than 1 0 weeks，the subjects lost 45ka on average.But after leaving the hospital，they all regained weight.The results were surprising：by metabolic(新陳代謝的)measurement，fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving.They had psychiatric problems.They dreamed of food or breaking their diet.They were anxious and depressed;some were suicidal.They hid food in their rooms.Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesn'tresult In normal weight，but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non—obese people.Thin people，however, suffer from the opposjte ：They have to make a great effort to gain weight.Ethan Sims，of the University of Vermont，got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight?In four to six months，they ate as much as they could.They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 percent。But months after the study ended.they were back to normal weight and stayed there.This does not mean that people are completely without hope in controlling their weight.It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly baffle their genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight。the findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true—each person has a comfortable weight range.The range might be as much as 9kg.Someone might weigh 60_69kg without too much effort.But going above or below the natural weight range is difficult.The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing the metabolism to push the weight back to the range it seeks.36.What determines your weight?

A.Your working manner

B.Your eating habit。

C.Your life style.D.Your genes.37.What did Jules Hirsch do to the eight fat people in his study?

A.He let them skip supper

B.He let them skip breakfast.C.He let them run every morning and evening.D.He gave them a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day.38.What happened to the eight fat people after they left the hospital?

A.battle their genetic inheritance

B.increase their weight.C.suffer from hunger

D.lower their weight.40.What did scientists think was true?

A.Each person has a fixed weight range.B.Each person has a weight range of 9kg.C.Each person wants to control his or her weight.D.Each person wants to eat to his or her heart’s content

第三篇 Shaming Punishments

Last month，James Connolly，a junior at the University of Massachusetts，stood in front of a local police station wearing a toga(長袍)as punishment.His crime? He was charged with underage drinking，illegal possession of alcohol and excessive noise while holding a party.This shaming punishment has increased in the US in recent years，mostly imposed by local judges for less—serious crimes，such as drunk driving and theft.They believe shame is the best petty crime deterrent(威懾).For example，in Tennessee，Judge James McKenzie has made shoplifters(商店貨物扒手)stand outside Wal — Mart with signs that read，“I am a thief put here by order of Judge McKenzie”，“Alternative punishments like community service and fines don’t convey moral condemnation(譴責)of the criminal，”said Dan Kahan，a University of Chicago Law School professor ,in an article published on the university’S website.“They aren’t shameful enough。”

Shaming punishments are sometimes called Scarlet(紅色的)Letter punishments.The name comes from US author Nathaniel Hawthorne’S 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter.In this novel，a woman is forced to wear a scarlet “A”on her clothes as punishment forher adultery(通奸).However, University of Iowa law professor Andrew Hosmanek said there is an important difference between the shaming punishments of colonial America and those assigned in states like Tennessee.“Early societies often had are— acceptance’ ceremony to welcome the offender back into main society,”says Hosmanek.“Contemporary punishments in America lack this.”

Supporters of shaming punishment argue that public shaming is a good way of expressing community values。Some judges say shamed offenders seldom repeat their crimes.Others aren’t SO sure。“There is little evidence to suggest that shaming punishments are successful in preventing people from committing specific crimes.And a shamed criminal may face a hard battle to regain credibility in society，”said Hosmanek.“So，a shaming punishment may force the offender into more crimes to support himself.”

Experts also debate shaming punishment’S damage to human dignity.“Since the point is to shame，it's of course degrading(侮辱人格的)，”said Linda Malone，director of the Human Rights and National Security Law Programme at William and Mary Law School.“US law only prohibits punishment that is‘cruel and unusual’一not‘inhuman and degrading’.it's very difficult for a thief to prove that holding a sign in front of Wal-Mart is ‘cruel and unusual’.”

第四篇：2011年職稱英語考試綜合類B級真題答案解析

2011年全國職稱英語考試真題答案綜合類（B級）

第1部分：詞匯選項 A confess 這個動詞是“坦白、交代、承認”的意思，admit也是“承認”的意思，兩個詞后面都可以跟用 that 引導的賓語從句，在這個句子里可以換用。D extract 作動詞用是“獲得、獲取”的意思，在四個選項中只有 obtain 具有這樣的意義，又如: extract help, extract satisfaction, extract information 等。

B accelerate 這個動詞原意是“加速”，如:The trains have been accelerated.火車提速了;The steps 10 implement the plan are being accelerated.執行該計劃的步伐正在加速。在本句中 accelerate his sale of shares(加速出售他的股票)，無疑就是增加出售他的股票的意思，故選 increased。D motive 是“動機”的意思，the motive for(doing)something 即為“做某事的動機”，reason 是“理由”，the motive for the murder 和 the reason for the murder 是同一意思。C impact 和 influence 是同義詞，意為“影響”，又如:the impact of modem technology on interpersonal relationships 現代技術對人際關系帶來的影響。

D shine 這個動詞通常用于表示“發亮、發光” 的意思，如: The sun is shining.但是如果和皮鞋一起用，那就是“擦皮鞋、把皮鞋擦亮”的意思了。本句的意思是:他的皮鞋擦得一塵不染。polish 具有“把......擦亮、磨光”的意思，clear 和 shoes 一起用的話便是 “把鞋子移開”的意思了，wash 則是用水洗，mend 是修補的意思。C explore 是“探索、探險、摸索” 的意思，investigate 除了常用的“調查”這層意思外，也具有“探索”這樣的意義，本句的意思是:在會議上我們探索了擴充的可能性。

A steady 是“穩定的”意思，a steady decline 則是 “穩步下降”，在這個上下文中可以用 continuous 來代替它，即“不斷下降”。sharp decline 則是“急劇下降”。

A remark 這個動詞就是 “說”的意思，所以這里就用 saying 來代替它。B framework 就是我們現在常常說的“框架”，within the existing legal framework 指在現有的法律框架內。所謂法律框架實際上就是指法律體系，所以選 system。limit 是限制，procedure 是程序，status 是地位。D find fault with something/someone 是個固定的表達式，意為“找茬、吹毛求疵”，所以和 criticize(批評)基本同義。A spectacular 這個形容詞常用來描述場面、景觀等，意思是“壯觀的、壯麗的、華麗的” 等，在四個選項中只有 magnificent 具有這樣的意思。B grasp 這個動詞是“抓住”的意思，可用于具體的事物，如:grasp the rope/ my hand 抓住繩索/抓住我的手，也可以用于抽象的概念，如: grasp the main idea/his meaning 抓

住要點/理解他的意思。在本句中 grasp the significance of what had happened 就相當于understand the significance of what had happened。C convert 的意思是“改變、轉化”。turn 則是具有同樣意義的一個更為常用的單詞，兩者后面都跟 into 來表示“變為……”。又如: Solar energy has been successfully converted/turned into mechanical energy.太陽能被成功地轉化成機械能。The priest converted/turned him from a Buddhist into a Christian.那神父把他從 一個佛教徒變成了個基督徒。reduce 減少，reform 改造。D tolerate 是 “忍受”的意思，如: tolerate the heat 忍受酷熱.tolerate the loneliness 忍受孤獨，tolerate the humiliation 忍受屈辱。和它同義的詞常用的有bear，endure 和 stand。

第2部分：閱讀理解 B 從文章的第一句 For six hours we shot through the barren landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa.便可以知道這句話是錯的，shot 是動詞 shoot 的過去時形式，shoot through 用以表示開車，那顯然車是開得很快的；而且，他們開過的沙漠是一片荒漠(barren landscape)，并非是一個busy desert。A 第一段里就說她已經寫了整整三個筆記本，并且開始寫第四本了。C 文中講到 Daniel 用相機記錄他在非洲的所見所聞，但并沒有提到他拍攝過尼羅河(the Nile River)。A 從文章的第二、第三段可以看到他們兩人在非洲看到了許多。B 實際上 Sophia 在開車，Daniel 則在睡覺，所以并非兩人都看到了野馬。B 文中說到And as I drove，something caught my eye.something moving close enough to touch them，to smell their hot breath.很顯然，野馬一度離他們的車很近，只是后來才漸漸遠離了。B Daniel 是在 Sophia 看到野馬一小時后自己醒來的—— When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.并不是讓Sophia 喚醒的。

第3 部分：概括大意與完成子 E 第一段的第一句話就講世上幾乎沒有什么事我們是單槍匹馬去完成的。接著作者舉了好幾個人們在群體中生活和工作的例子。所以 People are in groups.正是本段的中心。F 本段的第一句 In almost every situation where you're in a group，you will need a skilled leader.就是它的主題句。本段要講的就是任何一個群體都需要有一個領導者。A 本段雖然以 Some people are natural leaders.(有些人生來就是當頭的。)開始，但作者并不真正認同這一觀點，這從 Although a 1ot of people agree that there are some natural-born leaders，most people now recognise that leadership can also be taught.這句話可以看到。所以 Training can make good 1eaders.概括了本段的大意。D 本段的第一句是它的主題句: Our training courses use activities and techniques to develop a range of qualities which are necessary to be a good leader.a range of qualities 就是a variety of qualities，即各種素質。C 答案可見第一段的最后一句:...being able to work successfully with other people is one of the major keys to success.E Groups often break down because of lack of good leaders.這句話是第二段中下面這句話的另一種說法: Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost always break down.A 請見第二段里的這句話: Good leaders don't make people do things in a bossy，controlling way.B 請見第四段里這句話: Self-confidence is vital for you to overcome your own fears about being a leader.be vital for someone to do something 即對某人做某事是十分關鍵的，和 be the key to doing something 是同一個意思。

第4 部分：閱讀理解

C 本題的答題依據是文章開頭的這句話: Everyone has imagination，but most of us，once we become adults，forget how to access it.人人都有想象力，只是成年后，我們就忘了如何取得想象力(access it)。文章的目的就是教給成年人幾種獲得想象力的技巧，所以說成年人還是可以學會怎么樣更加富有創意的。

B 從第二段的這兩句話：First，think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do.Then find an image，word，idea or object，for example，a candle.可以找到答案。蠟燭只是一個例子。

A 第三段的第一句話: Imagine that normal limitations don’t exist.You have as much time/ space/money, etc.as you want.是本題的答題依據。

B put yourself in their shoes 是英語的一個成語，相當于漢語的“設身處地”.35 C 第三種技巧就是:Look at the situation from a different point of view.作者以談判者和小說家為例，說明推銷員如要應用這一技巧就應該把自己置于顧客的位置上，問一問他們的需要是什么。

A 文章的第一段把這一點講得十分明確:...the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.It argues that，in fact，these young people are frittering away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.37 A 第二段的最后一句話: As some new device comes along, it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices.回答了這個問題。只要有新的玩意兒出現，它就會被增加到現有的玩意兒上去，而不是替代原有的東西。注意四個選項里的they 指的是 e-devices 而不是屬于Generation M 這一代的年輕人。

D 根據文章的內容應選 D。distant to their family 意為 ”和自己的家人疏遠“。具體可見第三段。

D 答題的依據是第五段里的這句話: They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedia1 help with study skills.可見在大學教師看來許多本科生急需補上學習技能這一課。

A 這道題的答題依據是文章的最后一段，作者認為盡管上面所說的都沒錯，但是(注意 while 這個連接詞的轉折意義)我們要記住現今對年輕人的期望越來越高。不管老一輩怎么說他們(注意 despite這個介詞表示的讓步意義)，對他們(年輕人)還是應該給予表揚而不是批評(Praise rather than criticism is due)。To be due 應該得到。

D 第一段里講到了人們擁有手機的幾種理由，其中不包括手機便宜(cheap)這一條。

C detect 意為”覺察、發現“，故可用 discover 來代替。

A 第三段里把這名推銷員年紀輕輕就要退休的原因講得十分明白:...a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss.He couldn't remember even simple tasks.44 A 請見第四段里的這句話:Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation，but they say the amount is too small to worry about.它們并不否認手機有輻射，只是輻射量很小無需擔心。

B 作者建議大家少用手機，這一點在最后一段里可以清楚地看到。

第5 部分：補全短文

A 第一段是文章的引言，說的是當今有了電視和雜志這樣的媒體，名人到處可見，但是情況并非一向如此，80 年前收音機和電影才剛開始對美國人產生這樣的效應，也就是才能向美國的公眾介紹宣傳Lindberg，使他成為名人。

D 這個空的前一句說的是 Lindberg 在大學讀工程學位，但是飛行吸引了他的想象;其后的一句則講他自己買了飛機在各地表演空中特技，所以在中間自然應該填入他輟學并移居到 Nebraska 去學習飛行這句話。

F 前一句說到Lindberg 參軍，在飛行員班里第一個畢業，這樣正好接上 Lindbergh used this additional training to get a job as an airmail pilot，flying out of St.Louis，Missouri.這句話。

B 前面一句講了Lindberg 覺得要完成這次飛行自己的技術沒有問題，但并非任何一架飛機都能飛這么遠。所以下面就接上他找到了 San Diego 的一家飛行器公司定做了一架飛機。

C 六個選項中只有這個選項是和他回到美國后得到的榮譽有關的。

第6 部分：完形填空

C the diagnosis of his illness Parkinson's disease 他的不適被診斷為帕金森氏病

B criticism of something/someone 對某事/某人的批評，這里 of 的賓語表示的是 criticism這個動作的對象;其他三個介詞都不能用。

A opposition to 反對……

A take up 是個短語，意為”從事……”，take up the sport 從事該項運動，take up filmmaking 從影，take up charity 從事慈善事業。

C 盡管 A1i不主張開展女子拳擊，但他出席女兒的職業賽似乎傳遞了一個父親的支持，他自然是想看女兒比賽的，故 watch his daughter fight。

D 這里有一個比較結構 as much …as…，被比較的是女兒的首次比賽和父親以前的比賽吸引公眾的程度，兩個比較的對象理應是同一事物，所以選 fight。

D 從觀眾的角度來看總是希望比賽緊張一點、精彩一點，雙方勢均力敵才有看點，所以 Laila 的對于明顯比她弱，對觀眾來說就是一件不幸的事了。

C to know what one is doing 是一種常見的、相對固定的表達方式，意思是:知道該怎么做、做得不錯。

B compare...to...這里是 “和......作比較”的意思，也可以說 “compare...with..., compare...to...的另一種意思是”把……比作為……"。

C make her own name 自己成名(不靠她父親)

B 這里說的是Laila 已經明白的事，所以用 realize。suggest 和 propose都是建議，hope則是希望。

B 這里的 if 相當于whether;to see if(whether)she still wants to go forward with it 看她是否還想繼續下去。

D struggle with the symptoms of Parkinson's disease和帕金森氏病的癥候斗爭。

B 對Laila 在那樣一個時刻所作出的那樣一個決定人們的反應有贊揚，也有批評。

C arrival on the boxing scene of a woman 一名女性出現在拳擊場上，注意這里的詞序，實際上是 the arrival of a woman on the boxing scene。
