9、xt 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)A consumer survey examining the childrens and teenagers book markets was conducted by Bruno 22% were 18-19 years old, 28% were 30-44 years old and 50% were 45 years old and older. Most were married (79%); 21% were single, divorced or widowed.The teen sample included 53 girls and
10、47 boys. Fifty-seven were in the 12-14 age range, 43 in the 15-17 age range. Twenty-four teens were interviewed by telephone and 76 were interviewed in shopping malls across the country.To shed some light on the childrens and teen book market, PW and BookExpo America examined consumer trends among c
11、hildrens and teenage book buyers. The survey evaluated what kinds of childrens and teenage books consumers choose, how they choose them and where they go to buy them. The findings paint a positive picture of Americas younger generations of readers and point optimistically toward a future country of
12、book lovers.Judging from responses, adults who buy childrens books believe that books play an important role in a childs development. Consequently, the majority childrens book buyers take seriously the process of choosing books for children. For their part, teens feel that “reading is cool“ and “mak
13、es you smarter“. An analysis of these attitudes and an examination of the book-buying habits of childrens and teen book consumers could be useful in helping publishers, promoters and booksellers provide more appealing products and services.（分数：10.00）(1).According the passage, which statement is NOT
14、true?（分数：2.00）A.The survey was conducted by Bruno that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It i
15、s obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people adversely. A persons self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all the areas of their l
16、ives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing“. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; that they feel it confirms their inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compl
17、iments because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a compliment with a statement like this one: “Youre just saying that to make me feel good. I know its not true. “It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be co
18、mpletely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. For example,
19、 most people would like to be “A“ students in every subject. It is not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have difficulty in some areas. Peoples expectations of themselves must be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy.Each one of us is a unique, wort
20、hwhile individual. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Lets not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of

23、s nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.C.He is unworthy of any praise.D.He lacks self-awareness.(5).Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?（分数：2.00）A.In the process of building self-confidence, people can get rid of shyness.B.Too much self-consciousness proved to be harmful to peop
24、les personality.C.Shy people should have an objective analysis of their weaknesses and strengths.D.Shy people are deaf to any criticisms.八、Part B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)John McEnroe:I have been using the Internet since the late 80s when the Internet was called ARPANET and this is the first year I actually d

27、 piece of software and with a little tweaking blocks 99.8% of harmful content.

28、n a download or “free“ software. I wrote an article on this several months ago. It has some great information on how to protect yourself from these malicious media companies and how to find out if something is installed on your computer and what to do to get rid of it. If only congress would enact t
29、ough anti-spam laws and laws to protect the consumer from malicious media companies who install software on your computer and make changes to your property (computer) without your permission.Elena Piskun:The article goes on to say that the Internet is also causing us to sleep less (by 8.5 minutes) a
30、nd that it reduces contact with family members by 23.5 minutes per day.

Thats been a burning question since the rise of the Internet, and many tons of paper was wasted

43、te their stories in court to (45) guilty verdicts.（分数：15.00）A.as toB.for instanceC.in particularD.such as 解析：考点解析 本题的考点是逻辑判断。空格连接了前后两部分：prominent cases 和 the trial of Rosemary West，前者包含了后者，后者是前者的一个例证，因此空格处应填入一个表示例证关系的连词，选项 A和选项 B不表示例证关系，所以排除。选项 C一般在句子中做插入语成分，后面不接名词，因此也不合适。选项 D是恰当的答案。A.tightening B.i
44、ntensifyingC.focusingD.fastening解析：考点解析 本题的考点是词汇。本题需要考生对四个选项中的四个动名词的用法进行辨析；选项B特指感情、数量等方面的增加，它一般和 control是不搭配的。选项 C表示“集中于”，意味着要忽视别的方面。它和空格后面的 controls无法搭配，因为文章中除了政府要禁止付钱收买证人的做法之外，没有提到别的情况，因此选项 C是不合适的。选项 D后接的是具体的名词，一般不修饰抽象名词，所以也可以排除。A.sketchB.roughC.preliminaryD.draft 解析：考点解析 本题的考点是词汇。本题考察考生对 draft bi
45、ll(法律草案)这个固定搭配的掌握，其他的三个选项不可以和 bill搭配，因此可以排除。A.illogicalB.illegal C.improbableD.improper解析：考点解析 本题的考点是词汇。空格所在的定语从句修饰的先行词 bill，从句意来看，空格处填入的词表示的是前述的草案在收买证人的问题上的态度。文章第一段的首句提到政府要禁止报界收买一些要案的证人的行为，第二段的首句又提到 Irvine大法官提出一项法律草案来控制新闻界。因此我们可以判断出这个草案在对待新闻界收买证人的事情上的态度是一致的，选项 B“illegal”符合题意。选项 A和法律无关，它涉及的是逻辑问题。选项
46、C“improbable”表示事情发生的可能性。选项 D表示“不适当的”，三者都没有正确反映出草案在这件事情上的态度。A.publicity B.penaltyC.popularityD.peculiarity解析：考点解析 本题的考点是逻辑判断。从空格所在的句子的结构可以看出，空格处填入的词既是control的宾语，又是由 that引导的定语从句的先行词，符合这两个要求的选项只有 A。A.sinceB.ifC.before D.as解析：考点解析 本题的考点是逻辑推断。空格连接了前后两部分：“严格控制案件的公开程度”和“审判开始”。根据文义我们可以推断，政府要严格控制新闻界收买案件证人的行为
47、，原因是因为如果新闻界把证人的观点公之于众，难免会影响司法的公正，因此一定要在审判开始前就严格控制案件的公开程度。所以选项 C是正确的。A.sidedB.sharedC.compliedD.agreed 解析：考点解析 本题的考点是词义辨析。空格处填入的词和 with一起修饰后面的宾语 acommittee report。选项 A“side”一般和 with一起修饰“人”，表示立场。选项 B 和 C放入文章中的意思讲不通。所以选项 D是恰当的答案。A.presentB.offer C.manifestD.indicate解析：考点解析 本题的考点是词义辨析。空格表示的是委员会的报告中提到的“自
48、我约束”对“充分的控制”做的动作。选项 A指的是正式的呈递，在文章中不太合适。选项 B正确表达出“自我约束不能提供足够的监控”的意思。选项 C和 D放入文章中不符合文章的意思。A.ReleaseB.Publication C.PrintingD.Exposure解析：考点解析 本题的考点是词义辨析。空格所在的句子提到，在这封信以后，Irvine 公爵引起了一场轩然大波。选项 A“release”强调经过一番周折才得以发表，常用于影片或是唱片的发行。选项 B表示的是公开发表，公之于众，符合题意。选项 C“printing”的意思是打印出来，和题意不符。选项 D指的是将丑事或是贪污腐败等坏事揭露出来，和文意不符。A.storm B.rageC.flareD.flash解析：考点解析 本题的考点是词义辨析。空格处的词是对媒体抗议程度的描述，它要和 media protest搭配。选项 A“storm”表示“猛烈的情感的爆发或风波”，符合句子的意思。选项 B“rage”表示“大怒”它无法和 aof搭配。选项 C“flare”和 media protest不搭配。选项 D“flash”反映不出媒体抗议程度的激烈，和文意不符。A.translationB.interpret
