11、r as I know, she is good at anything but electronics.

Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters. These are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it: They go to work by boat and enjoy i
17、t so much that most of them say they will never go by car again. The ferry they take is spacious, quiet and comfortable. Commuters can enjoy the sun on deck. In the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, And in the evening they can order a drink in the bar while looking at the beautiful
18、 scenery. The trip takes only 30 minutes and is not very costly. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people feel more friendly to- ward each other. There has already been a marriage of two commuters who met on the ferry. Because the ferry has been so successful, there are plans to use oth
19、er still larger boats. There is also a proposal for a high speed boat that will make the trip in only t5 minutes. But not everyone is happy about that.

21、通阻塞,B项“许多人性格浪漫”是夸大了事实,C项“多数人喜欢船上的饮料”位提及。第13题:参考答案:B答案解析:How do commuters respond to plans for the future of the ferry?选B。原文指出“有人建议提高速度,但许多人认为现有的速度正好够人们放松 ”,因此人们主要是不满意建议速度的提高,而希望维持线装,因此B与此相符。A项“许多人欢迎增加船上酒吧的主意”未提及,C项“有人建议改进甲板设计”也未提及,D项“有人反对用更大的豪华船只”与原文不符,原文只说计划用大船,但没有提到人们的反应。听力原文 How many teeth have y
22、ou had filled in the past two years? If you follow the advice of Dr. Faustick, you may be able to reduce the number of your visits to a dentist. Dr. Faustick conducted a two-year survey to find out how to prevent or reduce dental decay. 946 students took part in the experiment. 523 students cleaned
23、their teeth within ten minutes of eating. When possible, they used a toothbrush; when this was impossible, they washed their mouth thoroughly with water. The remaining 423 students merely cleaned their teeth when they went to bed and when they got up in the morning. All the students had their teeth
24、X-rayed at the end of the first and second years. At the end of the first year, the night and morning group had three times as many decayed teeth as the clean-after-each-meal: group. At the end of the second year, the latter group had 53 per- cent fewer decayed teeth than the former group. Dr. Faust
25、iek has cleaned his teeth after every meal for thirteen years and has not had a single decayed tooth.

26、 you have finished eating. When this is impractical, you can at least make sure that you have a drink of water and let the water through your teeth to force out any particles of food. 7 out of 10 people lose at least half their teeth by the time they are fifty. Many have a complete set of false teet
27、h by that time. In any case, neither toothache nor a visit to a dentist is very pleasant. So it is worthwhile making an effort to keep your own teeth as long as possible. The main preventative agent is simply water. 第14题:参考答案:A答案解析:According to the passage,what type of food or drink is most likely t
28、o cause dental decay?选A。原文指出研究结果表明,糖分是导致牙齿损坏的主要原因,尤其是糖果,蛋糕、饮料中的糖分,因A项“可口可乐”与此相符。第15题:参考答案:B答案解析:What does the passage tell us the condition of Doctor Forstics teeth?选B。原文指出Forstic医生13年来每餐后坚持刷牙,如果一颗坏牙,因此B项与此一致。第16题:参考答案:D答案解析:What does doctor Forstic suggest to prevent dental decay?选D。原文指出“最好随身携带牙刷,吃
29、完饭后刷牙,如果牙刷不实际的话至少用水涑口清除食物残渣”,由此可归纳出医生建议饭后清洁牙齿,既D项。A项“睡前刷牙”是不够的,B项“尽量少拔牙”是不以个人意愿为转移的,C项“定期用X光检查牙齿”与题意不符。听力原文 The worldwide organization of the Red Cross stems from the idea of Henri Dunant, a Swiss banker. In 1838, at the age of ten, Dunant was taken by his father to visit a prison. There he saw pris

On 24th June 1859 while on his way from Geneva
31、 to France; Dunant witnessed the battie between the French and Austrian armies. It was one of the fiercest battles of the 19th century. Shocked by the lack of medical supplies and attention given to the wounded, Dunant decided that volunteer service had to be organized. He gathered together a number
32、 of women who attended the hundreds of wounded soldiers of all nationalities and helped the surgeons as best as they could. From that battle, Dunant determined to form a body of people who would rally together in times of war and attend to the needs of the wounded and dying. Dunant held that a suffe
33、ring human being should be helped for his own sake only without regard to race, religion, or political beliefs.

35、ed?选A。原文指出“他的监狱之行给他留下很深的印象,使他决心为罪犯,奴隶及所有受压迫、被剥夺了自由的人做点事”,因此A项“参观一下监狱”与此相符,是最早的经历。第18题:参考答案:C答案解析:What did Henri Dunant do during the battle between the French and Austrian armies?选C。原文指出“他被战争中医疗供给的缺乏和伤员缺乏照料的情况所震惊,因此决定提供志愿服务,并组织了许多妇女照顾伤员”,由此可归纳出他招募志愿者照顾伤员,C项与此相符。B项“提供医疗供给”未提及,A项“他派遣外科医生到军中”也未提及,D项:“他
36、帮助战犯逃跑”与情理不符合。第19题:参考答案:D答案解析:What was Henri Dunants belief when he founded the Red Cross?选D。原文指出 Dunant 认为处于困难中的人应得到帮助,而不应考虑其种族、宗教或政治信仰,held 一词表示“持某种观点”,为关键词,因此D项与此相符,用 beentitled to解释should(be helped),用regardless of解释without regard to“不考虑”。A项“众生平等”夸大原文,B项“伤员和垂死的人应无偿治疗”未提及,也不合情理,C项“伤员应该在接受治疗前投降”更与D

38、r un- finished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A、B、C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.第21题:参考答案:A答案解析:精析选A。原文一开头指出多年来医生们告诉病人服用复合维生素惟一的作用是产生贵重的尿,原文中expensive“昂贵”一词暗含“不值得”之
39、意,由此可知以往医生认为复合维生素不会为人体吸收,只是很浪费地变成废弃物被排泄掉,所以A项与此相符。B项“有害健康”不符合原文,C项“太贵不适合日常服用”夸大事实,D项“不能治疗维生素缺乏”不和情理。第22题:参考答案:B答案解析:【精析】选B。原文用those studies回指clinical trials“医疗实验”,指出这些实验研究耗时且产生层出不穷的问题却不能回答疑问,因此B项“花时间且得不出结论”与此一致。A项“导致错误结论”曲解原文,C项“应由科学家大规模实行”未提及,且与文意矛盾,D项“纯粹是时间和资源的浪费”又言过其实了第23题:参考答案:C答案解析:精析选C。原文指出已患心
40、脏病的病人服用维E不能起作用,维E可能只起预防作用而不能修复损坏的部位,因此C项正确,用curative“治疗的”与原文的undo damage相对应A项“应定期坚持服用”未提及,B项“减少心脏病复发”与此矛盾,D项“应尽早给心脏病人服用”与原文不符。第24题:参考答案:A答案解析:【精析】选A。原文指出大剂量服复合用维生素会产生问题,例如大出血和神经系统问题,因此A项“产生副作用”是对此的正确解释。B项“防止大出血”与此矛盾,C项“会导致血管堵塞”未提及,D项“适用于缺乏维生素的人”也未提及。第25题:参考答案:D答案解析:【精析】选D。原文指出日常服用符合维生素是有意义的,D项“每天服用合
41、理剂量的维生素是有道理的”与此相符,用reasonable解释了原文的make a lot of sense“有意义,合情理的”。A项“每天服用维生素比锻炼和膳食均衡更重要 ”与结尾第一句“维生素不能取代锻炼和均衡的饮食”矛盾。B项“ 不了解维生素的具体功用就是就服用是危险的“与原文矛盾,作者还是认为尽管不够了解维生素的功用但服用是必要的。C项“维生素的作用怎么夸大也不过分”言过其实。第26题:参考答案:B答案解析:【精析】选B。由原文可知“许多妇女宁愿工作而不结婚”,由此可推知portend意为“象征,代表”之意,即“劳工队伍中妇女的激增代表了对婚姻的抛弃 ”。因此B项正确。A项“藐视”,C
42、项“遭受”,D项“起源于”均不符合文意。第27题:参考答案:D答案解析:【精析】选D。原文指出“经济下滑会延迟婚姻,因为双方无力支付家庭开支或担心将来的日子”,因此D下疳内“更多的人会选择暂时独身”与此相符,题干用economy slides解释原文的economic downturns“经济滑坡”,用remain single解释原文的postpone marriage, A项和B项均为人们选择结婚,与原文矛盾,C项“有工作的妇女担心的自己的婚姻”未提及。第28题:参考答案:C答案解析:【精析】选C。原文指出“有工作的妇女通过提高家庭的生活水平可以加强家庭经济和情感的稳定性”,由此可见妇女在
43、工作中的成就能巩固婚姻关系,C项与此相符。A项“她们更可能压倒伴侣”与此违背,B项“丈夫被期望多做家务”未提及。D项“妇女倾向把事业放在婚姻之上”夸大了事实。第29题:参考答案:A答案解析:【精析】选A。原文指出由于家庭而没有工作的妇女感到束缚,也许会选择离婚,因此A项“她们感到自由被剥夺”与此一致,用rob of freedom“剥夺自由”解释原文的feel caged“感到被关在笼中”。B项“害怕被丈夫使唤”,C项“感到丈夫达不到自己的期望”,D项“怀疑丈夫的忠诚”均未提及。第30题:参考答案:D答案解析:【精析】选D。原文结尾指出多数情况下丈夫是养家的主要承担者,妻子工作可能使丈夫失去一
44、家之主的地位,因此夫妻双方如何看待这种情况的改变决定了双方是更加平等或是产生了不稳定因素。因此D项“女性参加工作对婚姻的作用个不相同”与此相符。而另三项均只涉及问题的一个方面,不够完整全面。第31题:参考答案:B答案解析:【精析】选B。原文指出“关于人性的传统观点被质疑,其中一个原因是对人的历史方法研究得到重视”,因此B项再现了这一细节。题干中关键词challenged对应原文的questioned.第32题:参考答案:C答案解析:【精析】选C。原文指出“人类学家认为人生来像一张白纸,各个文化在上面书写文字”,由此可推知人类学家认为人生来并没有固定的本性,是受后天的尤其是生活的文化的影响,因此
45、C项与此相符,without a fixed nature“没有固定的本性”照应原文的blank sheet of paper“白纸一张”。A项“有共性”不是人类学家的观点,B项“生来就具有不同文化”与原文违背,D项“长大后性格改变”也非人类学家观点。第33题:参考答案:B答案解析:【精析】选B。原文指出人性这一概念被滥用是为了掩盖不人道的行为,例如Aristotle等人就以此为奴隶制辩护,因此B项“人性的概念被用来为恶行正名”与此相符。Justify与原文shield对应,social evils与原文inhuman acts对应。第34题:参考答案:D答案解析:【精析】选D。文章末尾指出对
46、人性概念的抛弃还在于进化观点的影响,一旦人被认为在进化过程中是前进的,那么人本质的成分就不能维持原状了,因此D项“不可维持的”是正确解释。A项“有价值的”,B项“可想象的”,C项“多变的”不合文意。第35题:参考答案:A答案解析:【精析】选A。文章开头指出多数哲学家认为人有本性,本性构成了人的本质,即人之所以为人的原因,由此可归纳推理human nature是人区别于其他动物的特质,因此A项与此相符。B、C、D项分别是部分学者,人类学家的观点,不是哲学家的一致观点。第36题:参考答案:C答案解析:【精析】选C。原文指出通过虚拟空间可以将医生置于任何战壕之中,海外的伤员被可以配备了电脑的移动外科
47、手术间,由此可归纳电脑技术能大大改善战场的医疗状况,因此选C.第37题:参考答案:A答案解析:【精析】选A。原文指出 Satava 设想的是通过电脑配置来诊疗伤员,并以第三段具体描述了诊治过程,由此可总结出诊治的办法是一种遥控的过程,关键词为transmit“传输”,guide“指导”。因此A项符合题意。第38题:参考答案:C答案解析:【精析】选C。第三段末尾指出医生知道战场上的手术室里的机器人对伤员动手术,因此C项“医生通过电脑使用机器人设备动手术”与此一致。第39题:参考答案:D答案解析:【精析】选D。有原文可知小伤口的手术中使用微型照相机和手术刀,医师戴着3D眼镜以使视野更清楚,因此D项
48、是对此细节的再现。第40题:参考答案:D答案解析:【精析】选D。文章指出虚拟空间使机器人实施手术成为可能,机器人手术比人类手术进行切除要准确得多。因此D项正确,其中的robot surgeons是虚拟手术的关键,precision照应了原文的accurately“精确、准确”。Part Vocabulary and Structure Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
