（二）Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:

In the Arctic Circle, it is not that Eskimos lack ability or industry, but the surroundings restrict constructive effort to the barest necessities of existence．This retards progress to higher develpment．

Agriculture is impossible all along the thousands of miles of the north shore．The only wood is such as drifts in．other than this driftwood, the only available building materials are snow, ice, stone, and bones of animals．All of these have been used for habitations and storage, places, differing in various tribes according to the requirements and skill of the workers．The lack of necessary timbers to build walls and span wide spaces is probably one reason why they construct their houses at least partly beneath the surface of the ground．This device also makers the houses more impervious(不能滲透的)to the cold．

Most of us are inclined to think that the Eskimo lives always in an igloo or snow house．This is not entirely true．After the long cold winter, the family is very likely to move, when the weather permits, into a tent sealskin．The actual construction of such a tent is similar to that used by other, more southerly tribes and will be described later．

The snow house, however, is an interesting and unique habitation．Our summer campers will not build, with snow, but the delicate art is worth recording and some of our winter camps mountains might try to make snow houses．

Electronic books could change the way of reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well．“The e-book promises to cause a slow tragedy on life as we know it,” Jason Ohler, professor of technology, warned the world．He weighed the advantages and disadvantages of e-book technology's impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc．Before you read an e-book, consider the disadvantages．

He believed that the e-books increase harness of eye due to poor screen, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print-book production and traditional publishing．E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation of authors．

On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online．They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self publishing．

In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society's approval if a few conditions are met, make them recyclable, solve the problem of eye fatigue, be sure the “have-nots” get the technology, and support e-book training in schools and business．

Questions 21—25 are based on the following passage: The economy in the United States is heavily dependent on aluminum, a material widely used in the construction of buildings and in making such diverse things as cars, airplanes, and food containers.In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycled aluminum.Some ninety percent of the bauxite(礬土)ore from which new aluminum is normally derived had to be imported to meet the demand.Poorer ores are abundant in the United States, however, and researchers at Purdue University may recently have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically from these.Although aluminum is not attracted by ordinary magnets, under special conditions it becomes temporarily “paramagnetic”, or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field.This is achieved by immersing ore particles in water to which certain salts have been added and then

filtering the ore through steel wool in the presence of a strong magnetic field.It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import.21.The passage focuses on _____________.A.construction and manufacturing industry in the United States B.new technique of obtaining aluminum from poor ores C.consumption and production of aluminum in the United States D.the annual import of high-grade aluminum into the United States 22.It is believed that a new technique to _________ will probably be found.A.recycle old aluminum products B.discover more bauxite ores C.make aluminum by putting ore particles under water D.take out aluminum magnetically from poorer ores 23.In the second paragraph the word “paramagnetic” means ___________.A.slightly magnetic B.a weak magnetic field C.a strong magnetic substance D.the under-water magnetic power 24.By immersing ore particles in water, ____________.A.we can get ore particles of equal size B.we can purify aluminum particles C.we can filter out aluminum D.we can improve the working conditions around 25.We understand from the passage that the United States ____________.A.is rich in low-grade aluminum-beating ores B.is short of aluminum-making techniques C.has to import ninety percent of its annual need of aluminum D.has to produce fifty percent of the world’s supply to meet its annual aluminum demand Questions 26—30 are based on the following advertisements: Service Ad Professional Typing Service announces a new location in Westside Mall, 1400 University Avenue across from State University Student Union.We specialize in term papers, theses, and dissertations typed to the specifications of the Graduate School of State University.Twenty-four-hour service for fifty pages or less.Forty-eight-hour service for more than fifty pages.Rates: $1 per page on regular paper $1.25 per page on cotton bond paper $ 0.25 extra for each carbon copy or a graph Hours: 8:00 a.m.—10:00 p.m.Monday—Friday 8:00 a.m.—4:00 p.m.Saturday Closed all day Sunday Call: 717-5415 26.What kind of person needs this service?

1、答案B。pace of life意為“生活節奏”；rate意為“比率，速率”；speed意為“速度”；growth意為“發育，成長”。

2、答案C。instant意為“立刻的，即時的”；timely意為“及時的”；quick意為“（做事）迅速的”；punctual意為“守時的，準時的”。

3、答案C。at the sight of意為“看見”；view意為“眼界，視野”；vision是指人的視力或視野，引申為夢幻景象。

4、答案B。issue意為“發布，頒布，發行”；publish意為“出版，印刷”；discharge意為“釋放出”；release意為“發布消息”。

5、答案D。burn out意為“燒光，燒完”；put out意為“熄滅，撲滅”；turn out意為“關掉，熄滅”；go out意為“熄滅，停止運行”。

6、答案C。從時態意義上講，應該用過去分詞，表示伴隨情況，還應該考慮連詞前后的平衡結構表達法問題。

7、答案C。根據主語可判斷出時間為過去時。

8、答案D。“get+-ed分詞”構成被動語態，get通常表示動作的結果而非動作本身。

9、答案D。without作“如果沒有”解，表示一種與事實相反的假設，意思上相對于一個if引導的虛擬條件句。根據題中可看出without computer 是與過去事實相反的假設，因此主句應該用：would（should，could，might）+動詞的完成時。

10、答案C。so為程度副詞，置于句首時，句子一般倒裝。當so作為程度副詞置于句首時，它所修飾的形容詞或分詞一般緊跟其后。

11、答案D。本題考點在文章第一句中的mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate。原文中的not?alone, but?相當于考題里的as well as, 所以考生對意思相似相近的表達要清楚。

12、答案A。本題的依據句是第二段中的第二個句子Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body.13、答案C。本題依據關鍵在第三段第二句中的derive all possible enjoyment from music，這與試題中的enjoy the music fully意思相當。

14、答案C。本題的依據是短文中的最后一句，關鍵部分是this participation is less obvious，這與選項C、not readily apparent意思相當。

15、答案C。短文先指出思維中可能有類似聽音樂時肌肉參與的情形；接著描述了聽音樂過程中肌肉參與的情況；最后指出，肌肉在思維活動中的參與只不過沒那么明顯罷了。可見，全文主要討論的是肌肉在思維活動中的參與，既不是專門講思維，更不是專門說音樂。故C選項做標題合適。

16、答案C。本文講的是“暑期校區各項服務安排變更情況”，首句即主題句為During the summer session there will be a revised schedule of services for the university community.選項C符合題意。

17、答案B。本題屬于細節題。要注意題干中的Specific schedule revisions，即“具體安排的修改”。第二段首句和第二句分別詳細描述了公交車的發車時間、地點和食堂就餐時間，文中沒有提到A.Athletic and recreational，C.Bookstore and post office和D.Medical and audio-visual.的具體情況。

18、答案D。本題的依據是文章第一段第三句話。關鍵部分是Weekly movie and concert schedules which are in the process of being arranged，即“每周電影和音樂會計劃還在安排當中”，故D為合理選項。

19、答案A。根據題干中的special summer hours for the library可以縮小尋找答案的范圍，只尋找與“圖書館”有關信息即可。答案依據在第二段的第三句，其中but shorter hours on Saturdays and Sundays是關鍵部分。but shorter hours 表示special，與平時不同； Saturdays and Sundays指的就是weekends。因此A為正確選項。

20、答案D。本題答案依據是短文倒數第二句。句中提到“借書和娛樂健身”需要有效證明卡。注意題干里的validated和原文中的valid意思相同，即“有效的”。

21、答案C。本題考查的是對短文主旨大意的理解。首段說的是美國對鋁的需求及其來源，第二段講述了一種新的提取鋁的方法。故C、consumption and production of aluminum in the United States最符合題意，A、B、D雖然提到與短文有關的內容，但都不夠全面。

22、答案D。本題的依據是第一段最后一句，關鍵部分是Poorer ores，have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically。

23、答案A。這是個詞匯題。解這種題需要先找到該詞所在的句子，答案往往從中可以讀出。Paramagnetic在第二段首句，句子后半部分的or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field就是解釋，故選A.slightly magnetic。

24、答案C。本題的依據是最后一句It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import.顯然，把礦粒進入水中的做法目的只有一個，即提取鋁。故選C。

25、答案A。這是一個細節題，答案依據是第一段第四句Poorer ores are abundant in the United States?

26、答案D。這是一則打印服務廣告，其中針對學生論文描述了服務內容和價格，可見服務對象是學生。

27、答案C。根據廣告上的價格計算：$1 per page on regular paper，$ 0.25 extra for each carbon copy or a graph，5頁regular paper需要$5, 2個graphs需要$0.5, 共計$5.5。

28、答案C。根據廣告上的承諾：Twenty-four-hour service for fifty pages or less.20頁的材料應該在24小時內打印完成。

29、答案A。按照廣告上的服務時間：8:00 a.m.—10:00 p.m.Monday—Friday，周三應該是晚上10點停止服務。

30、答案C。這是一則針對學生的校園服務廣告，包括服務地點、時間、內容和價格。

31、答案A。仔細閱讀上下文，就能看出“and 31 the passengers had fastened their seat belts, they were suddenly thrown forward.”兩個句子是對比關系，意思為“盡管旅客系著安全帶，但大家還是被拋向前面”。

32、答案D。A選項正確說法應該為“showed up”，B和C選項意思和用法不符合語境；只有D選項正確。Appear意為“出現”。

33、答案C。應該注意but一詞的意義在于引起一個相反的概念。“She looked very pale, but was quite 33.”也就是說，所選擇的單詞應該是pale一詞含義的反義詞。所以用C選項最合適。全局意思為“盡管她臉色蒼白，但她很鎮靜”。其他選項意思或用法有誤。

34、答案C。A選項意思為“詢問”；B選項意思為“保險”；C選項意思為“告訴”；D選項意為“指示”。只有C選項的意思和用法正確。

35、答案A。A選項意為“猶豫”，最符合本句話的場景。全句意思為“猶豫一會后，一個人站了起來跟服務員進了駕駛艙”。

36、答案A。close to屬于固定搭配詞組，意思為“接近”。其他選項的搭配不正確。

37、答案B。A選項意為“包圍”；B項意為“繞圈子”；C和D選項的意思為“觀察，看”。在這里可以判斷，飛機是在機場上空繞了幾個圈子。

38、答案B。A選項意思為“親密的”；B項意為“熟悉”。本句話的含義是，飛機是在機場上空繞了幾個圈子，目的是熟悉空管指示。

39、答案A。A選項的意思為“時刻”。全句意思是“可怕的一刻來臨了，他要降落了”。其他選項的意思不正確。

40、答案A。注意本處的意思為“當??時候”。A項as與C項while的意思都是“當??時候”，但while指一個較長的時間過程，而as指事情發生的一刻。由于飛機觸地touch the ground是一個短暫性動作，此處應選擇as。

41、答案A。從Mother的回答看，她堅決不許Jimmy養貓。A No way 表示“絕對不行”，符合題意； B.Not at all意為“一點也不??” C.By the way 表示轉換話題； D.On the contrary意為“相反”，均不合適。

42、答案B。“一個半小時就行”的習慣表達用do，故選B。

43、答案A。對話中，母親催促Tom快點起床。A Come on！表示催促，符合要求。

44、答案D。對話中乘客問車票多少錢。車票費用要用fare，而fee則表示“學費，入場費，手續費”等。

45、答案B。從下文的否定回答推測，問話人的話應該是Have you moved or something?即“你是搬家了還是怎么的？”

46、答案A。丈夫表示不愿意進商店買東西，而妻子極力勸他進去，因此我們選擇A.Please, honey，表示請求。

47、答案C。Lucia跟Polly要紙巾，后來又說頭疼，可能得流感了。Polly合理的反應是關切的詢問，而不應該在沒弄清情況時就說幫忙的話。故不選B，D。要紙巾顯然是擦鼻子，A的提問是多余的。

48、答案C。遞給別人所要的東西時說Here you are，意思是“給你”，其他表達不符合習慣。

49、答案D。母親教育孩子喝湯不要弄出聲響，從父親的話聽得出來，他嫌母親的語氣過于嚴厲了。所以不選A，B。C中的cruel使用不當。

50、答案C。出租司機問乘客“上哪兒？”英語的習慣表達是Where to，其他選項不正確。
