Micro-chip research center created

A research center has been set up in this far-east country to develop advanced micro-chip production technology. The center, which will start out with about US$14million,will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology.
The center will make use of its research skills and facilities to develop new technology for domestic chip plants. The advent of the center will possibly free the country from the situation that it is always buying almost-outdated technologies from other countries, said the country’s flagship chipmaker. Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don’t allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes. Moreover, the high licensing fees they have to pay to technology provider are also an important reason for their decision of self-reliance.
As mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years, plants with new technology can make more powerful chips at lower costs, while plants with out-dated equipment, which often cost billions of dollars to build, will be marginalized by the maker.
More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. the majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore.
Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in industry, the country admits the US$14million in vestment is still rather small. This country is developing comprehensive technologies. Most of the investment will be spent on setting alliances with technology and intellectual property owners.

练习：
1． The country says that the investment of US$14 million is big enough for developing that country’ chip industry.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
2． That country gives top priorities to developing chips for military purposes.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
3． Although the licensing fees are not very high, that far-east country cannot afford to pay.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
4． Many western countries ban the exporting of the most advanced chip-making technologies to that country to prevent them from being used for military purposes.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
5． Currently, almost all the flagship chipmakers in that country are owned by American investors.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
6． Mainstream chip production technology develop rapidly.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
7． More than 10 chip plants being built in that country are an example of self-reliance.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing

Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known，new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences．
Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep，as well as a number of other sleep problems，than people who sleep 8 hours a night．People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers．
These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside。more than 8 hours a night．He added that“it might be a good idea'’for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this．
Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more．
For the current report，Kripke reviewed the responses of 1，004 adults to sleep questionnaires，in which participants indicated how much they slept during the Week and whether they experienced any sleep problems．Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night，arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep，and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning．
KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours．In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed．As evidence，he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed．“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake．”he said．

1. Paragraph 2 ___.
2. Paragraph 4___.
3. Paragraph 5___.
4. Paragraph 6___.

A. Keprike’s research tool
B. Dangers of Habitual shortages of sleep
C. Criticism on Kripke’s report
D. A way of overcoming insomnia
E. Sleep problems of long and short sleepers
F. Classification of sleep problems

5．To get a good night’s rest，people may not need to ___.
6．Long sleepers are reported to be more likely to___.
7． One of the sleep problems is waking in the middle of the night，unable to___.
8. One survey showed that people who habitually ___each night have a higher risk of dying．

A fall asleep again ．
B become more energetic the following day
C sleep less than 7 hours
D confirm those serious consequences
E suffer sleep problems
F sleep more than 8 hours

Stress Level Tied to Education Level
People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior．
However, the study also found that when 1ess-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health．
From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random．Ⅵr11ere you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them．
The research team interviewed a national sample of 1．03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health．People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days，people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time，and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time．
‘‘Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health。’”lead researcher Dr．Joseph Grzywacz，of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement．“The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors．and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged．”
Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic．
“If something happens every day, maybe it’snot seen as a stressor”Grzywacz says．“Maybe it is just 1ife．”
词汇：
stressful adj．紧张的；压力重的
diploma n．毕业文凭，毕业证书
stressor n．紧张刺激物
devastating adj．毁灭性的
follow-up n．(对病人的)随访

D)in groups．
3． Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?
A)People without any education．
B)People without high school degrees．
C)People with high school degrees．
D)People with college degrees．
4．The less advantaged people are，the greater
A)the impact of stress on their health is．
B)the effect of education on their health is
C)the level of their education is．
D)the degree of their health concern is．
5．Less—educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because

C)stress is too common a factor in their life．
D their stress is more acute．

Florida Hit by Cold Air Mass
In January,2003，the eastern two．thirds of the United States was at the mercy of a bitterly cold air mass that has endangered Florida’s citrus trees，choked3 northern harbors with ice and left bewildered residents of North Carolina’s Outer Banks digging out of up to a foot of snow．
The ice chill deepened as temperatures fell to the single digits in most of the South, with an unfamiliar dip below the freezing mark。as far South as parts of interior South Florida．Temperatures in Florida plunged，with West Palm Beach dropping to a record low of 2 degrees．
“We couldn’t believe how cold it was，”said Martin King，who arrived this week in Orlando from England．“We brought shorts，T-shirt，and I had to go out and buy another coat．”
The temperature plunge posed a threat to Florida’s US$9.1 billion-a-year citrus crop，more of which is still on the trees．Growers were hurrying to harvest as much of the fruit as possible before it was damaged by cold．
“Time is of the essence in getting fruit to the plant，”said Tom Rogers，a citrus grower who expected to see damage to oranges and grapefruit at that time．
In Florida，Governor Jeb Bush signed an emergency order to eliminate the weight limit on trucks so citrus growers could get as much fruit to market as possible．
Casey Pace，a spokeswoman for Florida Citrus Mutual，said growers had sprayed trees with sprinklers，which created a layer of ice and helped maintain a temperature near freezing．Citrus trees are considered in danger of damage if the temperature drops below minus 2 degrees Celsius
for four hours or more．Snow ranging from a dusting to up to 30 centimeters blanketed the Carolinas，Tennessee and parts of Virginia．

第3篇 Inspecting a Used Car
The scariest part of buying a used car is not being completely sure of what condition it’s in A car that’s been in a major accident is always a bigger risk，but sellers often try to hide this information．Andrew Bleakley, evaluator-inspector, runs a mobile vehicle inspection service in Montreal．For about$80 he will perform a full。unbiased inspection on a used vehicle．In his 10 years as a professional inspector,Bleakley has seen a lot．He warns。“Watch out for dealer demonstration vehicles which are used．not new．They may have been in a collision．”He adds that it is not uncommon in Ontario and Quebec especially for unscrupulous sellers to roll back the odometer or to even disengage it．Bleakley has special tools to check for this．
Blealdey always recommends hiring an independent technician to inspect the condition of a used car before you buy it．The problem is finding someone qualified to do the inspection，which he says generally doesn’t mean just any mechanic，A thorough mechanical inspection includes checking the compression，all major systems，including the engine，electrical and charging systems，transmission and drive line，fluids，brakes，suspension，and steering．Essential，too，is all inspection of the car’s body and finally a road test．There are，however a few things everyone can do before buying aused car：
Do a visual check of the car．Look at the right rear door hinges．If they are very worn．Or the door doesn’t close well，the car may have been used as a taxi．Holes in the roof could mean the car was used for deliveries．
Check for oil leaks on the pavement．Note that leaks are not necessarily a significant problem it depends on the cause．
Don’t assume that new．100king brake and accelerator pedals mean the car hasn’t been driven much．Resellers know people check these details and call buy new Pads for around$6．
Copy down the vehicle identification number(VlN)。a 17-character combination of numbers and letters，from the vehicle’s dashboard．In Ontario，ask the dealer or seller for the Used Vehicle Information Package．This gives details of previous owners，any outstanding liens on the car, and the fair market value of the vehicle．

The first four minutes
When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, "Contact: The first four minutes," he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: __1__. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that.
You may have noticed that average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he as just met.__2__. If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much.
When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves."
On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his won needs, fears, and hopes.
Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to at that way."
__3__. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."
But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honest" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.
__4__. For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.
The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. __5__ that is at least as important as how much we know.

A. In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.
B. Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.
C. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.
D. Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes.
E. He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.
F. He is eager to make friends with everyone.

Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely
Speeding off in a stolen car,the thief thinks he has got a great catch。．But he is in a nasty surprise．The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer．and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine _1_ ，he will not be able to start it again．
For now,such devices _2_ only available for fleets of trucks。and specialist vehicles used on construction sites．But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle down to ordinary cars．and _3_ be available to ordinary cars in the UK _4_ two months．
The idea goes like this．A control box fitted to the car incorporates。 _5_ miniature cellphone，a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver． _6_ the car is stolen．a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine _7_ restarted．
There are even plans for immobilizers _8_ shut down vehicles on the move，though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system．
In the UK．an array of technical fixesⅢis already making _9_ harder for car thieves．“The pattern of vehicles crime has changed，”says Martyn Randall of Thatcham．a security research organization based in Berkshire that is funded in part _10_ the motor insurance industry．
He says it would only take him a few minutes to _11_ a novice how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools．But only if the cal-is more than 10 years old．
Modern cars are a far tougher proposition，as their engine management computer will not _12_ them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition key．In the UK，technologies like this _13_ achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997．
But determined criminals ore still managing to find other ways to steal cars．Often by getting hold of the owner’s keys in a burglary．In 2000,12 per cent of vehicles stolen in the UK were taken using the owner’s keys double the previous year’s figure．
Remote．con~olled immobilization system would _14_ a major new obstacle in the criminal’s way by making such thefts pointless．A group that includes Thatcham，the police，insurance companies and security technology firms have developed standards for a system that could go on the market sooner than the _15_ expects．

答案及解析
 
第一部分：词汇选择（第1-15题，每题1分，共15分）
下面共有15句子，每个句子均有一个词或短语划有底横线，请从每个句子后面所给的四个选项中选择一个与划线部分意义最相近的词或短语。答案一律涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

1. B. 分析：借助画线短语核心词（bring）的基本含义—“带来/引起”，并借助与画线结构相直接相关的结构含义（质量控制系统被..）判断B(引进)是答案。该句含义是“将引进一种新的质量控制系统以克服公司产品出现的缺陷。”Invest: vt.（常与in连用）投入（资金，精力，时间等） ； insist: vi, vt（常与on, that连用）主张；坚持, 坚持要求(宾语从句跟虚拟语气结构)

2． B。分析：and的使用表明前后两个结构是在语法结构对称，且含义上色彩一致，这样排除A（“发展”和“失去重要性”在词义色彩上相反）和D（renew = re + new（re表示“再次”）），所以可推出renew是“更新”）。 借助句意判断disappear（消失）是答案。该句含义是“旧的公司失去了它们的重要性，而其中的一些公司完全得消失了。”link vt, vi（常与together, to, with连用）连接。

3． A。分析：break有多种含义。Break是“打破, 违犯, 折断,超过”，而被选项中只有A有“打”的含义，所以判断beat是答案。该句含义是“在奥运会上每当运动员打破了以往的比赛记录人们就会为之而欢呼兴奋。”另外，maintain，announce和match都是常见词， 基本含义分别是“保持”，“宣布”和“比得上”。

4．A. 分析：根据句意（“政府正在..教育法”）排除B（搭配词义不通顺），C和D（C和D都通常和进行时态连用）。debate: vt, vi讨论，争论;discuss : vt谈论；讨论；商讨(with sb. )；delay: vt, vi, n. 推迟；延缓 ；Decline: vt, vi下降；下滑；下倾

5． D。分析：在该句中yield 是用作名词（因为该词的前面有不定冠词a），分析：抓住句子中与划线部分相关的结构或用词特点：能与不定冠词a搭配使用的被选项只有C和D（气候，倾向， 风气，如：a mild climate温和的气候）。再借助句子中其他特征词：farm，判断harvest“收成”是答案。该句含义是“这一年中他们的收成要比数英里以外的其他任何农场的收成都好得多。”Yield: vt, vi出产, （常与to连用）放弃；投降；让步 n. 产量；收成

6．A。分析：划线短语是动词短语，对于该短语的语义有两种查找方法：1。利用动词do，直接在字典中查找do away with 这个短语的语义。不难得出该短语的语义是“去掉”，所以A是答案；2。利用该短语中的词义推测：away是“离开”，而备选项中： set up是“建立”， repair是“修理”， paint 是“油漆, 描绘”，都与“离开”无关，所以只有get rid of是答案。该句句意是“这座城市已经决定把位于市中心的所有的旧的建筑物都废弃掉。”

7．C. 分析：根据画线词的家族词（drama）的本义和与画线词搭配的结构的含义（“变化”），判断C是答案。该句含义是“在过去的十年中，在国际形式方面已经出现了显著的变化。”Striking: adj. 引人注意的；显著的；Dramatic: adj. 戏剧的；有关戏剧的; 引人注目的。

8. A。分析：利用被选项的特点：A和B是正反项，所以重点注意。而B,C 和D都是近义词，表示“可能的”，所以相互排除掉。答案是A。该句含义是“检察员明天不可能会来。”out of the question adv. 不可能;另外，likely 还可以用作副词，表示“ 或许, 很可能”。

9. C。分析：根据句意（人们正在研制开发…太阳能的技术。）判断C合适。Convert vt.使转变, 转换...； store vt.贮藏, 贮备, 存储n.商店, 店铺, 贮藏。

10. D。分析：根据构词法：划线词的前部分是 damage（破坏），即damaging是动词damage的分词，所以推测该词义大概是“破坏的” 。而备选答案都是常见词汇，其中只有harmful是“破坏的”，因此可以推断harmful是答案。该句含义是“从经济大萧条以后，美国政府一直在（采取措施）使农民避免遭受到由于粮食价格的下降而带来的损失”。

11． B。分析：seldom是常见词汇，该词义是“很少地” 。而备选答案中rarely也是常见的否定副词，是“很少地”。该句含义是“水泥在中世纪的建筑中很少使用。”

12. B. 分析：借助搭配结构“..on sth.”判断B（影响） 是答案。该句含义是“他们仍然在估测自动化对工厂工人生活的影响。”influence on../对..的影响； impact n.冲击, 影响, 效果
vt. 撞击, 压紧, 对...发生影响； impact也是通常和介词 on搭配（impact on..），含义是“对..的影响”; passion 通常和介词for搭配，表示“对..的热爱”; affect vt.影响, 感动, 侵袭; pressure n.压, 压力, 电压

13. B. 分析：借助句意（在她做了手术后的一个月以后她终于有了好转（恢复了健康））判断B（好转）最合适。get along v.生活, 融洽相处, 进展； get on v.生活, 融洽相处, 进展； get out
v.出去, 离开, 逃脱, 泄露

14． 分析：D． 借助句子的句意（这位部长..委员会. ）和被选项中的核心词含义判断D（charge
n.主管, 掌管）合适。on the verge of adv.接近于, 濒临于；on the basis of prep.以...为基础； at the cost of adv.以...为代价

15. A. 分析：该句含义是“她的话伤了我的感情。”结构“make + adj.”的含义是“使..怎样”。

1．B．分析：利用题干中的特征词US$14 million作为答案线索，这样发现答案相关句：The center, which will start out with about US$14million,, will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology.（该句句意不足以说明问题句是否正确）

More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors （卖主）and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore.
Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in the industry, the country admits the US $14 million in vestment is still rather small. （the situation in the industry的指代内容是解题关键，而前句中提到的是chip industry的发展， 因此判断“the situation in the industry”就是指“芯片工业的发展情况”，所以根据该句的句意 （1400万美圆的投资仍然是很小数目的投资）判断问题句的说法不正确。）

2．C．分析：以题干中的核心结构military purposes和top priorities作为答案线索 ( 同时注意文章中出现的这些线索结构的近义/反义结构)，于是发现相关句：Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don’t allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes.
发现答案相关句中没有谈到“优先发展用于军事目的的芯片”，因此判断问题句的说法为“没提到”。

3． C．分析：利用题干中的核心结构licensing fees（执照费）作为答案线索（因为该词是特定的表达，所以可以在文章中只查找该词）, 查找答案相关句：Moreover, the high licensing fees （与“are not very high”不矛盾）they have to pay to technology provider are also an important reason for their decision of self-reliance.发现相关句的内容中只涉及到了问题句中的部分内容（有关执照费用的高低问题），而问题句中提到的“cannot afford to pay（没能力支付）”在文章中没有对应的内容，因此判断问题句的说法为“没提到”。

4．A．分析：该题所涉及到的相关句在第2题中已经出现了：Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don’t allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes. （许多国外政府不允许他们进口最先进的技术，因为担心这些技术将被用于军事目的）根据该句句意判断问题句的说法正确。

5． C．分析：利用题干中的核心词flagship chipmakers作为答案线索，这样在文章中找到答案相关句：The advent（出现，到来） of the center will possibly free the country from the situation that it is always buying almost-outdated technologies from other countries, said the country’s flagship chipmaker.文章中涉及到flagship chipmaker的句子并没有说flagship chipmaker是由美国投资者所拥有， 可见文章中的答案相关句中根本没有反映出问题句中的信息，因此判断该问题句的为没提到。

6． A．分析：利用题干中的核心词Mainstream chip 作为答案线索，这样在文章中找到相关句：As mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years, 该句含义是“主流芯片生产技术每3年到5年就会进行更新换代”，根据该句句意判断问题句的说法“正确”。

7． B．分析：利用题干中的特殊结构--数量词（10 chip plants）作为答案线索，这样发现答案相关句：More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of U.S. dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment vendors and technology owners- mainly from Japan and Singapore.从相关句中得出的结论恰恰是“依靠他人”，而不是“依靠自己”，因此判断问题句的说法错误。

第三部分：概括大意与完成句子 （每题1分，共8分）
阅读下面这篇短文，短文后有2项测试任务：（1）1---4 题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2--5 段每段选择1个正确的小标题；（2）第5--8题要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确的选项，分别完成每个句子。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
1. E： Investigators ...found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling, than...该句回应了文章的主题—睡眠时间太长不是好事；对应被选项发现只有E和F与这个内容有关系，但段落最后一句中又提到了睡眠不足的人的问题，因此判断E是答案（睡眠长和睡眠短的人所面临的睡眠问题）。
2。B．分析：段落的结构-- Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance..表明了该段的中心是讲述“长期睡眠不足的潜在危险”
3. A． 分析：对于该段落答案的选择具有一定的迷惑性，A和F容易相互成为干扰项，但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”是属于问卷上要回答的内容，是和Keprike的直接研究有关，所以判断A是答案。同时猜测F可能是干扰项
4. D： 段落中出现的Kripke found， Kripke noted和he added表明“Kripke的观点和态度应该是该段的中心”，对比被选项排除C（段落中没有出现批评的话语）和F（段落中没有具体提到睡眠问题的表现形式），而段落最后第2句提到了克服失眠的方法—少花时间在床上，与D呼应。
5．F．分析：根据搭配结构need to do sth.判断所有选项都在语法上合适。借助搭配句意：“为了获得晚上好的休息，人们没有必要。。”判断F（睡眠超过8小时）。
6．E．分析：借助搭配句意：“睡眠时间长的人根据报道更有可能。。”，并结合文章主题—睡眠时间长不是好事情，判断E合适。也可借助文章中的相关内容（利用题干中的Long sleepers和more likely 作为答案线索）：KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours．
7． A． 分析：借助搭配句意：“其中的一个睡眠问题是在午夜醒来，不能。。”，直接判断A（再次入睡）合适。
8. C．分析：借助搭配句意：“一项调查显示那些习惯性每晚...的人有更高的死亡风险。”

第四部分：阅读理解（每题3分，共45分）
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题后面有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

第1篇
1． B 从文章题目便可得知，一个人的紧张程度与其受教育的程度挂钩，而受教育的程
度又直接影响一个人的社会地位。因此，文章第三段提到，一个人的社会地位决定了
其每日所面临的问题和处理这些问题的能力。由此可见，紧张程度与社会地位密切相
关。
2． A 文章第四段提到，研究人员对全国抽样的1 031名成人连续八天每天进行采访。
3． D 从文章第四段可以得知，调查对象学历越高，自己所报告的紧张天数便越多。
4． A 文章第五段提到，一个人的社会地位越低，紧张对其健康造成的危害也就越大。
5． C 文章最后两段提到，受教育程度越低者所报告紧张天数越少的原因有可能是他们
对紧张因素己司空见惯，视其为生活的一部分，而不是什么特别值得注意的。

第2篇
1． B第二段中就有冷气团侵袭到mostofthe South，所以，B是不符合原意的。
2． B．．．with an unfamiliar dip below the freezing mark as far south as parts ofinterior South Florida．在南至南佛罗里达州腹地的一些区域，气温前所未有地降至冰点以下这句话说明B是正确选项。在most ofthe South，气温降至10℃以下，在West Palm Beach，气温虽然降至历史最低，但有2℃。
3． A佛罗里达位于炎热的南方。King只带了短裤、T．shirt。到了佛罗里达，寒潮来了，他只好去买御寒衣服。
4． C第六段中“Jeb Bush signed an emergency order to eliminate the weight limit on trucks so citrus growers could get as much fruit to market as possible．”这个句子提供了答案。
5． D选项A、B、C文章中都提到，而且，A、B、C的内容都符合原意，惟有D不正确，因为，文章中只是说Florida Citrus Mutual(佛罗里达柑橘互助协会)通报了柑橘种植人采取的防冻措施，并没有说这个协会自己采取了防冻措施。

第3篇
1．C本题的答案可以在文章的第一、二句话里找到。第一句话说买二手车最担心的是不全面了解车况，最需要注意的是车有没有出过事故。A、B、D三项都属于车况，C项说的是车有没有被撞过，既有没有出过大的事故，这是最重要的。
2． A本题问的是几个选项中哪一个不是二手车商蒙骗顾客的手法。B、C、D三项的内容分别在第一段的最后和第五段里讲到，但文中没有提到他们把车重新喷漆。
3．D“independent technician”意思是“独立的技师”，即不从属于哪一个车商或车行的技师，因而比较公正可信。A、B两项分别为“免费服务”和“自学成材”的意思，C项的意思恰好和independent technician的意义相反。
4． D在第二段里B1eakley强调验车非一般的技师所能为，一定要有所需要的资质才行，车商是不能插手的，但第二段的最后一句话说有些事情人人都可以做，所以本题的答案是选项D，验车可以由有资质的技师和买主一起来做。
5． D本题的答案可以在文章的最后一句话里找到。车牌号不提供车主的详细信息，公平的验车技师不会提供，二手车商也不会，但可以问车商要“二手车信息包”，这里面可以找到原车主的详细信息。

第五部分：补全短文（每题2分，共10分）
阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放会文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置。

The first four moniutes
1. D． 分析：空格前后句中出现了代词的呼应-- this advice--- that，再结合句意判断空格处出现表意为“建议”的句子可能性最大，结合被选项的内容和用词判断D是答案。考点：语意平行结构中的观点句/概括总结句。

2. E．分析：后句中的句意在对具体细节进行描述，句子中代词this的出现，暗示前句中出现的this指代的内容。判断E是答案。考点：举例分析句/细节描述句。

3. A. 分析：空格后句中出现了代词We，而被选项中只有A和C中有代词与We呼应。但A中还有changing our social habits与空格后句中的 become accustomed to any changes在语意上呼应，所以答案是A。

4. B. 分析：前文中出现了“关于如何‘对待陌生人’的描述”，而且在下文中提到了“家庭成员（husband and wife or a parent and child）”，因此判断B是答案。

5. C. 分析：后句中的代词we在C中才有呼应的代词，而且在文章最后出现观点句是通常论述文的发展特点，因此判断C正确。考点：文章中的总结概括句/观点句。

第六部分：完型填空 （每题1分，共15分）
阅读下面的短文，文中有15处空白，每处空白给出了4个选项，请根据短文的内容从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，并涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

1．A 该段主要是说，如果车被盗，只要发出无线电信号，retmote immobilizer就能使被盗车一旦停就无法再启动。因此，应选择A。如选择B，switches the engine on(发动弓擎)句子意思便不符合文章内容。C和D与switch不搭配。
2．D devices是复数形式，描述的也是目前的事情，所以应使用be的现在时复数形式are.
3．D 该句说，这种遥控技术会一点一点地，但很快地用于普通汽车。然后，作者推断，在两个月后这种技术就能用于英国的汽车。A是错误的选项，因为该句前面用了could表示委婉的推断，在此不会用can；B和C与意思不符；should也是表示推断。
4．c 从搭配上来看，可以选择B和C，但是从意思上来看，必须选择C。for two months：已经有两个月了；in two months：两个月后。不能选择A，因为不符和英语表达习惯。又如：They will graduate拥one year．他们一年后毕业。
5．C 这里应该使用不定冠词，而且miniature cellphone后面的并列定语都使用不定冠词。不能选择a|1，因为它后面的名词由辅音开头。
6．B 从语法结构来看，这里应选择引导状语从旬的连词，其他选择都会造成结构错误。而且，If正符合句子的意思。
7．B orevent sth(from)doing是固定用法，restart这里要用被动语态being restarted，所以，应选择B。
8．C 从句子的结构来看，这里需要一个关系代词引导定语从旬。关系代词的先行词immobilizers是物不是人，所以只能用that，不能用who。
9．A 在四个选择中，B、C和D显然不符合文章的意思。这里作者要表达的的意思是：使……日子难过，所以，应选择A。 ‘
10．C be funded是被动语态，空格后面是名词短语，从句子的意思来判断，这个名词短语是动作fund的执行者，是谓语动词动作逻辑上的主语，所以必须使用by来引导这个名词短语。
11．D 这个句子结构是：to take sb time to do sth。从意思上判断，句子的意思应该是：他说只要花几分钟就能教会一个新手如何偷盗汽车。所以，D是答案。use，inform和ask都不与how to结构搭配。
12．B them后跟着to，所以首先排除A和C(let sb do sth．／make sb do sth)。句子的意思不允许选D。…will not allow them to start…．：…不允许它们启动…。
13．A 句子后面的时间状语由since引导，所以句子应该使用现在完成时。
14．D 从obstacle in the criminal’s way这个名词短语看出，应选择D，构成put obstacle in sb's way(给某人设置障碍)这种固定用法。
15．C 前面有go on the market，预期的人应该是customer。当然，specialists，doctor或lawyer也可以预期，但总及不上customer那么自然。
