Other studies show that nonreaders tend to isolate themselves from the community or less likely to own a home, and seldom belong to local voluntary organizations. Why dont these people read a daily paper? They say they dont have the time,
13、 they prefer radio or TV, they have no interest in reading at all, and besides, they think newspapers are too expensive. Recent surveys, however, have indicated that the portrait of the non-reader is more complicated than first thought. There appears to be a group of non-readers that does not fit th

21、案解析：What might surprise us about birds nests according to the speaker?听力原文 You can tell the age of a tree by counting its rings, but these records of a trees life really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn whats been happening on the suns surface for the last ten thousand years.
22、 Each ring represents a year of growth. As a tree grows, it adds a layer to its trunk, taking up chemical dements from the air. By looking at the elements in the tings from a given year, scientists can tell what elements were in the air that year. Doctor Stevenson is analyzing one element-carbon-14
23、in rings from both living and dead trees. Some of the rings go back almost ten thousand years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon-14 trail back in time, he found carbon-14 levels change with the intensity of solar burning. You see, the sun has cycles. Sometimes it burns fie
24、rcely; at other times its relatively calm. During the suns violent periods, it throws off charged particles in fast moving streams called solar winds. The particles interfere with the formation of carbon-14 on earth. When theres more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produced. Ten thousand year
25、s of tree rings show that the carbon-14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle. 第18题：参考答案：D答案解析：What is the purpose of the scientists in studying tree rings?第19题：参考答案：C答案解析：What affects the amount of carbon-14 on eart

28、aying healthy（如今我们知道，处理这些事件的方式会显著影响一个人的健康状况)可知，A)正确。第22题：参考答案：A答案解析：A）细节推理题。题干问20世纪70年代该项关于压力的研究导致了什么。解本题的关键是正确理解第二段第二每话And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the report.定语从句.who work anti live under stress修饰主语millions of American，worried为谓语，over the reports为状语。由此可知, “
29、成千上万的处于工作和生活压力之下的美国人对该报告非常担优”，这与选项A)的愈思是基本一致的第23题：参考答案：A答案解析：A) 事实细节题。题干问Holmes-Rahe的测试分数表明了什么。由第一段第四句When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stressit only shows how much you have to deal with（进行Holmes-Rape测试时你必须记住：分数所反映的并不是你处理压力的方式，而是你所
30、必须承受的压力）可知，A)是符合题意的正确答案。第24题：参考答案：B答案解析：B) 事实细节归纳题。题干问“如此简单的建议”并不可行的原因。第三段采取的是先总后分的写作方式，在第一句话提出“如此简单的建议并不可行”这一观点之后，下面各句对这一论点进行了论证：有些压力是不可避免的，例如死亡（第二句）；为避免压力而开出的处方同时也使人丧失了机会（第三句）；任何改变都会导致压力的产生，想避免压力就不能结婚、生子，甚至是跳槽或者搬家（第四句）。归纳上述细节可知，B)“没有摆脱压力的有效方法”是符合题意的最佳答案。第25题：参考答案：C答案解析：C) 细节推理题。题干问那些经历过人生起伏（ups an
31、d downs）的人会怎么样。由最后一段第四句Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before （许多度过压力期的人无论是在体力上还是精神上都比以往更有活力了）可知，C)“更有能力处理逆境”是符合题意的最佳答案。第26题：参考答案：B答案解析：B) 细节推理题。题干问为什么作者认为恰当地进行编码很重要。由第二段第一句话Encoding.is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a maj
32、or impact on recalling it later.（编码是对某一事件予以关注的特殊方式，对此后回忆起该事件有极大的影响）可知，B)“帮助我们唤起记忆”是符合题意的正确答案。第27题：参考答案：D答案解析：D) 事实细节题。题干问为什么女性的记忆力要好于男性。由第三段第三句Women have slightly better memories than men，possibly because they pay more attention to their environment，and memory relies on that.（女性的记忆力略好于男性可能是因为她们对周边环境
33、更为注意，而这正是记忆所依赖的）可知，D）正确。第28题：参考答案：C答案解析：C) 细节推理题。题干问放在衣兜里的便条很难起到提示的作用的原因。第四段讲述的是视觉线索的提示作用，显然，放在衣兜里的便条是处于视野范围之外的，因而无法起到预期的提示作用。第29题：参考答案：A答案解析：A) 细节归纳推理题。题干问由最后一段我们可得知什么。本段开头提到，人们常有走进屋子却不知道要做些什么的时候，并接着解释说:Most likely, you were thinking about something else.（很可能你还在想别的事情。）由此可推知A)正确。第30题：参考答案：B答案解析：B) 主
34、旨归纳题。通观全文可知，文章主要讲述的是心不在焉的原因，因而B)正确。第31题：参考答案：B答案解析：B) 主旨归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述的是军用侦察技术民用化的一些情况，因而B)正确。第32题：参考答案：A答案解析：A) 事实细节题。题干问设计水下监听系统的初衷是什么。由第三段中its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies（数十年来构建的用于跟踪潜在敌对国船只的全球水下监听网络）可知，A)为正确答案。第33
35、题：参考答案：C答案解析：C) 细节归纳题。题干问深海监听系统利用什么进行工作。解本题的关键是正确理解文章的最后一段。文中说，不同水层的海水均能传播声音，并能将声音汇聚到一起，就如同听诊器能将病人胸腔里各种微弱的杂音汇聚并传到医生的耳朵里一样。正是由于这种汇聚作用，才使得大洋里各种相对较弱的声音，甚至是那些低频段的声音都能传播上数千公里。由此可知，深海监听系统利用的是大洋中海水这种独特的传播声音的能力进行工作的。第34题：参考答案：D答案解析：D) 归纳推理题。通观全文可知，不论是对蓝鲸进行追踪研究，还是对海底火山喷发进行监测，作者的目的都是为了讲述军用技术在民用方面有着巨大的应用潜力，因而功
36、是符合题意的最佳选项。第35题：参考答案：A答案解析：A) 细节辨认题。题干要求就美国海军水下监听系统的一些说法进行判断。第三段中说，冷战后美国海军开始把几十年来构建的水下监听系统部分转为民用，而设计这一系统的初衷却是跟踪潜在敌对国的船只。用这一系统跟踪蓝鲸只不过是军事技术民用化所开拓的激动人心的新领域中的一个例子而已。由此可知，A)“部分地对民用领域的科学家开放”为正确答案.第36题：参考答案：B答案解析：B) 词义猜测题。联系上下文是解词义猜测题的常用方法之一。由第一段不难推知spas的意思是“健身场所”。第37题：参考答案：B答案解析：B) 细节推理题。题干问早期的健身场所的宗旨是什么。
37、由第一段第四句话However, their focus wasnot on aerobics，but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscular mass，strength and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts.（然而，他们的重心却不在于有氧运动，而在于健美活动，这些健美活动主要是为他们那些热衷于加强肌肉的健美，增强体质，提高耐力的男性设计的）可知，B)是正确答案。第38题：参考答案：B答案解析：B) 细节归纳题。题干问过去（句中使用了was这一过
38、去时态）医生对健身项目所持的态度。由第一段第五句.since medical opinion suggested that weight-training programs offered few,if any health benefits（因为医学方面的看法是健美运动在改善健康方面没有什么作用，即使有，也是很微不足道的）可知，B)正确。第39题：参考答案：A答案解析：A) 事实细节题。题干问过去人们进行体能测试目的是什么。第二段第一句话说，历来绝大多数体能测试都包括对肌肉力量和耐力的测试。这并不是出于健康方面的原因，而是因为这些测试项目与健康状况的指标（performance in ath
39、letics）有关。选项A)是对这一目的的正确理解。第40题：参考答案：D答案解析：D) 事实细节题。题干问最近的研究表明举重训练怎么样。由第二段第二句However, in recentyears，evidence has shown that training programs designed primarily to improve muscular strength and endurance might also offer health befits as well.（然而，最近有证据表明，主要为强健肌肉和提高耐力而设计的健身活动也能促进身体健康）可知，D）正确。Part Voc
