1、BFT（阅读）-试卷 5及答案解析(总分：90.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Part 1(总题数：1，分数：16.00)Read the following passages, eight sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap. For each gap(1-8)mark one letter(AH)on the Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice. In the worl

2、d of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. 1But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey show. Jerry Springer could easily be cons

3、idered the king of “trash talk“. 2For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. 3 Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. 4Topics ra

4、nge from teaching your children responsibility, managing your workweek, to getting to know your neighbors. Compared with Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends ever with a “final word“. 5Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn s

5、omething very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. 6Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with lifes tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. 7They are the ones who see some v

6、alue and lessons to be learned underneath the shows exploitation. While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. 8Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.A. He makes a small speech that sums up the en

7、tire moral of the show.B. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individuals quality of life.C. The shows main target audience are middle-class Americans.D. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans.E. The topics on his show a

8、re as shocking as shocking can be.F. These are 18-to 20-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love relationship, sex, money and peers.G. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format.H. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of s

9、ocietys moral catastrophe, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments of other peoples lives.（分数：16.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_二、Part 2(总题数：2，分数：20.00)Read the following passage and answer questions 9-18.1. Most young people enjoy some forms of physi

10、cal activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind football, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.2. Those who have a passion for climbing high difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women wi

11、lling to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineers and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.3. Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for s

12、uch games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.4. If we compare mountaineer

13、ing with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game“. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches“ between “team“ of climbers, but when climbers on rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, the

14、re is obviously teamwork.5. The mountain climber knows that he may have fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight to against the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year.

15、 A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than young man, but they probably climb with more skill

16、and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.Questions 9-13 For questions 9-13, choose the best title for each paragraph from below. For each numbered paragraph(1-5), mark one letter(AG)on the Answer Sheet. Do not mark any letter twice.A. Mountaineering is different from g

17、olf and football.B. Mountaineering is treated as a team sport.C. The requirements needed for climbers.D. Many young people enjoy some forms of physical activity.E. A mountain climbers skill is not limited by his age.F. The reason why people enjoy climbing mountains.G. Mountaineering is a sport rathe

21、数：14.00)Read the following article and answer questions 19-25. For questions 19-25, choose the correct answer A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Digging up the past isnt always the exhilarating experience people commonly perceive it to be. Contrary to the popular image, and one part

22、ly forwarded in the movie realm, archaeologists are not the swashbuckling adventurers who risk life and limb to uncover the mythical and magical remnants of the pastand save the world in the process. In reality, archaeological work is a time consuming task and the process of unearthing a site slow a

23、nd often tedious. Conditions on an excavation site are far from ideal. Exposed to the elements for long hours, drenched in the rain, steeped in the mud, or scorched by the sun and choking on dust, archaeologists patiently sift through the sands of time for evidence of civilizations gone by. While th

24、e excavations themselves dont always produce earth-shattering results or draw the widespread attention they so justly deserve, rare discoveries automatically become part of history. But, from time to time, less momentous finds yield unexpected surprises. A recent archeological find at a site in Esse

25、x of what appears to be a Celtic surgeons toolkit including scalpels, retractors and probes - was pretty exciting, even compared to many “major finds“ heralded in the media over the years. This one was particularly significant, demonstrating a stronger link to our past than people might think. Far f

26、rom the perception of Celts as creative but warlike people, the find Shows there were keen scientific minds at work and emphasises how much modem society has in common with them. Finds like this are extremely rare but encourage the idea that when we dig we are looking for something in particular. Vi

27、sitors to excavation sites are often disappointed when we havent found anything “exciting“ they dont realize that many of us will never come across such a find in an entire lifetime of digging. My own “treasure“ count in eleven years of digging is one small Roman gold earring found by someone else o

28、n a site where I was working. What were actually digging for is to record the whole sequence of human activity on a site. This involves methodical recording of hundreds of layers of soil and remains of buildings long disused and buried under the debris of later occupation. Its the sequence of events

29、 which is significant here, and not any single episode. Many people are also unaware that modem professional archaeology is highly competitive and very much part of the construction industry, as well as being an academic discipline. When land is to be developed, the local government archeological of

30、ficer will undertake or commission an assessment of the site to decide whether the proposed development threatens to destroy any archaeological remains. If it does, they will compile a specification for excavation work to be done to recover as much information as possible about the site. Then, archa

31、eological units operating in a given area will tender for work on the basis of these specs. As the organisation developing the site must foot the bill for this work, they usually go for the lowest tender rather than the quality and experience of the units involved. The legislation and guidelines whi

32、ch protect what is termed the “archaeological resource“ emphasise protecting archaeology in the groundusing appropriately designed foundations, for example, or only digging if theres no other option. While this would seem good for archaeology, the decreasing numbers of sites available for excavation

33、 will be more keenly fought over, and with units cutting costs wherever possible it seems unavoidable that the quality of their work will suffer. The life of the Celtic surgeon is significant in its own right, but placed within the context of his culture, our understanding of both the individual and

34、 the culture is enhanced. It is this wider understanding that could be jeopardised by the loss of the more mundane and less spectacular archaeological sites.（分数：14.00）(1).Archaeology is sometimes portrayed in the cinema as_.（分数：2.00）A.difficult and laborious work in unpleasant conditionsB.important

35、work which goes largely unrecognisedC.heroic work involving exciting and hazardous experiencesD.unusual historical work that is now rather outdated(2).It is suggested that archaeological discoveries like the Celtic surgeons toolkit can_.（分数：2.00）A.alter our perception of the pastB.tell us about sing

36、ular historical eventsC.reveal mythical aspects of the pastD.show how communities change over time(3).It is not widely known that contemporary archaeology_.（分数：2.00）A.has close links with building and developmentB.has lost its previous importance as an academic disciplineC.has aligned its useful wor

37、k with the construction businessD.is far more a competitive business than an academic discipline(4).Prospective land developers need consult local authorities to_.（分数：2.00）A.recover as much information as possible about the siteB.tender their services for future work on excavation sitesC.check wheth

38、er their proposal jeopardises any existing antiquitiesD.decide who is going to pay for the dig(5).A possible negative side-effect of legislation protecting “archaeological resource“ is that_.（分数：2.00）A.excavation will only be carried out as a last resortB.exploration will be limited to sites with fo

39、undationsC.there will be no construction allowed on sitesD.there will be a reduction in the standard of excavations(6).What does the author say about the significance of the Celtic surgeon?_.（分数：2.00）A.His life needs to be regarded in contextB.He is an important key to comprehending the society he l

40、ived inC.Rare discoveries like the surgeons tools jeopardise future studyD.The discovery of “ordinary“ everyday items is not particularly important(7).What is the main idea of this essay?（分数：2.00）A.Archaeological work is no fun at all.B.Its extremely difficult to get some rare finds.C.Developing a s

41、ite may destroy some archaeological remains.D.Modern archaeology concerns more than digging up the past.四、Part 4(总题数：1，分数：40.00)Read the following passage and choose the best word for each space.
