Human Networking I knew no computer or technology ever got any of us a raise, landed us that dream job, found us that mentor (良师) who cared deeply for us and our careers or put that special joy in our lives that can only come from relationships with others. All these great things are made possible by a completely different type of networking-human networking. And not the kind that has given “networking” a bad name-that superficial, insincere, manipulative stuff that we all can smell a mile away. No, I?m talking about the true art of networking, based upon respectful and caring relationships that promote mutual success. Relationships Let me start with one of the most fundamental aspects of human relationships. For each and every thing you want to achieve in life-whether it?s landing a job, earning a raise or promotion or finding that lifelong romance-there will be at least one person on the other end deciding whether to give you or help you get what you want. Everything we do can only be accomplished through and with other people. Simply put, success, of any kind, requires relationships. Just think of the words of Margaret Wheatley: “Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.” If this is the way the universe works, you can see why human relationships and human networks are so important. The most common mistake people make when building relationships for their career success is treating business contacts differently from personal friends. Just think for a moment about the people you work with on a professional level who are also close, personal friends. Aren?t they always more forgiving when you slip up and more helpful when you?re in need ? Of course! I guarantee your work will become easier and more joyful if you make more of your business relationships personal. How to do it ? The same way as you make genuine friends. Build trust through intimacy; show them that besides being professional, you're also human. Skip the small talk and go deep into what really matters -your dreams or fears, your children or the business issues that keep you up right at night. And don?t think for a moment that they?ll think less of you . In fact, usually the opposite happens. When I tell people about my humble beginnings-I grew up a country boy in rural, southwestern Pennsylvania, the son of an often unemployed steelworker and a cleaning lady and how it took me so long to overcome my insecurities of being poor and being picked on by kids from more well-to-do families. People don't think less of me. They immediately empathize (感同身受) and feel more endeared to me than ever before. All you have to do is let your guard down and show enough vulnerability to make others comfortable with opening up to you. Also, don?t stop with treating business friends as you treat personal friends. Mix them, too. Invite business contacts to your home and introduce them to your family. Invite a client out to dinner along with an old pal from school and your significant others or a date. Don?t compartmentalize (划分) your personal, professional and community lives. Blur the boundaries! You?ll have more fun and do more for all three parts of your life in less time. Planning The more specific you are about what you want to do, the easier it becomes to develop a strategy to accomplish it. Part of that strategy , of course , will be establishing relationships with the people in your universe who can help you get where you?re going. So, first, do some deep introspection (自省) to find your Blue Flame, the thing in life that really lights your fire. Write, pray, whatever you need to do to clear your head and figure this stuff out. I enjoy great results from Vipassana meditation. Once you?ve found your Blue Flame, it?s time to have a RAP, or a Relationship Action Plan. Here?s a simple way to get started. Write down your goals and the names and types of people who can help you achieve them. Then, note how you can reach those people and how you can contribute to their success, too. The more specific a plan you have and the more you put your goals out to others, the more everyone will conspire to help you achieve your dreams. On the other hand, if you don?t know what you want or you don?t tell anyone, no one can help you. They can't read your mind. I can?t tell you how many times a friend has called me and said, “Keith, I just became unemployed. I need to start networking; will you teach me how ?” My answer : “No. No. No. You need to start job-hunting! You should have been building relationships for the past 5 or 10 years, so now that you need a job, you could make 20 calls and have 5 job offers waiting for you in a week.” Presentation When I give talks to college and graduate students they always ask me, “What are the secrets to success ? What are the unspoken rules for making it big ? Preferably, they?d like my response wrapped up in a tight package and tied with a neat little bow. Why not ? I wanted the same thing at their age. “So you want the inside scoop,” I respond. “Fair enough, I?ll sum up the key to success in one word: Generosity.” The kids are shocked because they think I?m going to give them “networking” advice. And when they think of “networking”, they think of a guy holding a martini with one hand and scattering business cards with the other. He?s hell-bent on doing anything it takes to “get to the top”, including climbing on the backs of others. The era of that Networking Jerk is over. I learned that the hard way. Once, a mentor of mine said to me, “ Stop driving yourself and-everyone else -crazy thinking about how to make yourself successful. Start thinking about how you?re going to make everyone around you successful.” Please, learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of many others. Don?t be a networking jerk. Remember that the NO.1 key to success is generosity. Give your talents, give your contacts and give your hard work to make others successful without ever keeping score. While I would say that your relationships are the most critical piece of your personal brand, before you can develop those relationships you?ve got to know something and have something to say. Just having a brain and an MBA won't get you anywhere anymore. If you want to become more valuable in the marketplace or more intriguing to the world at large, you must develop some deep expertise in your mind and root some higher-order passion in your heart. Think of the world?s real movers and shakers; they are such because they are about something: Richard Branson-executing the remarkable; the late Princess Diana-helping the unfortunate. They are and were interesting .You can be, too. Strength in Numbers This rule is obviously one no one can follow 100 percent. It? just a great way to remember to share your passions to invite others into the activities you are already enjoy doing. I really love sharing delicious food, good wine and great company. I aloso bring friends to workouts or to church. You might have similar passions, or you might enjoy doing community service, gardening or watching movies. If you?ll just remember to share your passions, building and deepening relationships will take no extra time than you already devote to your favorite activities, and people will see you in your best light. Just as people lose weight more effectively if they have a workout partner, your ongoing efforts to build relationships will be more successful if you team up. You and your buddy can provide each other support, guidance and motivation. And you?ll always be prepared to try one of my favorite tactics-trading networks. Throw a dinner party together, and you?ll each be responsible for only half the guest list, half the cost and half the effort. But you?ll expand your circle of friends to twice the size, and I guarantee it will be twice the fun! 1.The true art of networking is based on __________ relationships that promote mutual success.

The strain of avian influenza virus that has led to the deaths of 140 million birds and 60 people in Asia in the past two years appears to be slowly acquiring genetic changes typical of the “Spanish flu” virus that killed 50 million people nearly a century ago, researchers said yesterday. How far the “bird flu” virus has traveled down the evolutionary path to becoming a pandemic virus is unknown. Nor is it certain that the much-feared strain, designated as influenza A/H5N1, will ever acquire all the genetic features necessary for rapid, worldwide spread. Nevertheless, the similarities between the Spanish flu virus of 1918 and the H5N1 strain slowly spreading through Asia provide unusually concrete evidence of how dangerous the newer virus is. At least four of its eight genes now contain mutations seen in the deadly strain that circled the globe during and the after World War?. The comparison of the old and new flu viruses is the first practical use of a science use of a science-fiction-like scenario that concluded yesterday with the release of two papers, one by the journal Science and the other by its chief competitor, Nature. After 10 years of work, Taubenberger and his team succeeded in reconstructing the Spanish flu virus, which was responsible for the deadliest epidemic since the Black Death of the Middle Ages. Reborn in the mid-August at a high-security laboratory at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, the pathogen appears in animal experiments to be as lethal as it was in human 87 years ago. The report came as the United States, many other countries and the World Health Organization are making increasingly urgent preparations for a new flu pandemic. The Department of Health and Human Services is stockpiling antiviral drugs and is buying enough experimental bird flu vaccine to inoculate 20 million people. President Bush ( the former president of America ) said in a news conference this week that he is considering the use of the military to enforce quarantines, if necessary, and that the government?s long-awaited pandemic plan will be released soon. What makes the accomplishment reported yesterday so remarkable is that no intact samples of the Spanish flu virus exist. When the pandemic occurred in 1918 and early 1919— only American Samoa and parts of Iceland appear to have been spared— microbiologists did not know for certain what caused it. ( The influenza virus was not identified until 1933.) Although biologists were later able to deduce the broad family of influenza viruses the 1918 strain came from, its genetic identity was lost. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 47.How important it is to find the similarities between the 1918 Spanish flu virus and the Asian avian influenza virus ? 48.What journals published two papers comparing the two viruses ? 49.After Taubenberger and his colleagues worked 10 years, the great success they have achieved is that _________________. 50.As part of the official preparations for bird flu, the U.S. government will soon ____________. 51.During and after World War ?，the whole world was affected by the pandemic except_________.

Passage one Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. For nearly half of my professional career, I was wrong about how to help students achieve. I had the wrong focus, made inaccurate assumptions, used faulty logic, and came to the wrong conclusions about how to increase student achievement. Although a high percentage of students persisted in and graduated from the programs in which I worked, they seldom became top achievers. Here is where and how I went wrong . I designed procedures to identify the students who were least prepared so that we could build programs and services that would help more students achieve. I assumed that there were certain levels of preparation that students needed in order to succeed; that if students met or exceeded these preparation levels, everything would take care of itself ; that if students were prepared and met the expectations of their professors, then the normal courses of study and interactions with faculty would be sufficient to help students accomplish their goals. Believing that student success depended on acquiring certain skills and knowledge, I used a combination of standardized tests, institutionally developed instruments, and interview procedures to get a clear picture of whether each student was prepared or underprepared. This was good practice in many ways, but I eventually came to see that I had structured my practice with the tenets of the Deficit Remediation Educational Model, which has been predominant in education for decades and remains the most prevalent approach in use day. This model assumes that the first and most important thing to do is to “fix” the student. Programs and services based on this model are dedicated to helping students achieve by first diagnosing student needs , problems, ignorance, concerns, defects, and deficits. Those who use the Deficit Remediation Educational Model have the challenge of designing classes, workshops, programs, and services to help students improve in areas in which they are underprepared. Based on the diagnosis, participation in remedial programs and services is often required. Students are usually prevented from pursuing other areas of study and from pursuing their interests until their “deficits” have been removed and their “problems” have been overcome. Typically, if students are unable to overcome their deficiencies by an established date, they are dismissed or told that they aren?t college material. What would happen if we turned our traditional retention effort on its head ? If we developed programs that helped students assess their strengths and then apply those strengths to their studies ? Of course, we would still assist students in improving their ability to write well or to master mathematics or to read their political science text more efficiently and critically, but all this would be in the context of helping them identify, further develop, and apply what they can already do well. In my experience, this approach is tremendously motivating, contributes to a sense of agency, and helps young people stay in college. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 52.What proved that nearly half of the author?s professional career was a mistake ?

Passage Two Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. Dowes Ginting, the most wanted man on Sumatra island, lay dying. He had abandoned the hospital where he had seen his relatives succumb one after anther, and he had fled deep into the mountains, trying to outrun the black magic that he feared had marked him next . For four nights, witnesses recalled, a witch doctor hovered over him in a small clapboard home, resisting the evil spell. Ginting, a tough 32-year-old, had watched disease burn through his family over the previous two weeks, killing six and sickening two others, including himself. International health experts grew increasingly concerned when laboratory tests confirmed they were sickened by bird flu, the largest cluster of the disease ever recorded . But Dowes feared medical treatment more than he did the flu. And so he ran, potentially exposing villagers across the province to the highly lethal virus. In the end, the outbreak in May did not predict the start of a worldwide epidemic. But the enormous difficulties that Indonesian and international disease specialists confronted in investigating the outbreak and protecting against its spread raised fundamental questions about whether bird flu could be contained were it converted into a form more easily spread among people. “If this were a strain with sustainable transmission from human to human, I can't imagine how many people would have died, how many lives would have been lost,” said Surya Dharma, chief of communicable disease control in North Sumatra province. Officials from the World Health Organization, drawing on sophisticated computer modeling of a theoretical bird flu outbreak in Southeast Asia, have suggested that an epidemic could be twisted through a rapid containment effort in the affected area, including the right mix of drugs quarantines (隔离，封锁) and other social controls. To succeed, the antiviral drug Tami flu would have to be distributed to 90 percent of the targeted population, roughly defined as those within at least a three-mile radius of each case. The drug would have to be administered within 21 days from the “timely detection” of the initial case of an epidemic strain. Residents would have to stay home, limit contact with others and take the medicine as prescribed. In the case of the North Sumatra cluster, almost none of this happened, according to extensive interviews with health officers, family members and villagers in several areas of the province. The underlying problem was that most family members and many villagers were convinced that black magic not flu, was to blame. “How can you ever get people to cooperate if they don?t even believe you ?” Dharma said. On the fourth night, unfortunately, Dowes took an abrupt turn for the worse. The medicine man repeated his treatment several times in the night. And before his uncle lugged him to his Suzuki SUV parked out front and set off for the district hospital, Dowes had died. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 57.Why was Dowes Ginting the most wanted man on Sumatra island ? A)Because doctors in the hospital were waiting to treat his disease. B)Because his relatives wanted to help him outrun the black magic, C)Because the witch doctor wanted to help him resist the evil spell. D)Because his runaway exposed local inhabitants to the scaring flu. 58.What was (were) the last thing(s) that the disease specialists expected to meet ? A)The enormous difficulties that they had to be confronted with. B)The basic questions about whether bird flu could be controlled. C)The possibility that the flu might be spread from human to human. D)The laboratory tests result that Ginting was sickened by bird flu. 59.All the following measure are required to be taken to contain the bird flu except ___________. A)potentially dangerous population should stay isolated from other people B)the antiviral drug doesn?t need to be distributed to a place four miles away C)a large majority of the targeted population should get the antiviral drug D)three weeks is the time limit to send the drug to the area exposed to virus 60.What would the residents in North Sumatra province resort to in the case of bird flu ? A)They would turn to a witch doctor. B)They would co-work with experts. C)They would take the prescribed drug D)They would accept a random interview. 61.What was to blame for the spread of the disease according to the auther ? A)Local people?s ignorance of bird flu.

Marriage It is a new thing that Chinese on-campus college students are legally allowed to get married before they complete their courses. Many people applaud this new development while others have expressed their concern about this. Those who disapprove of this new trend believe that college students will inevitably have less time and energy for their academic life. One common argument, however, for on-campus college students? marriage is that a number of students do have a desire for an ideal marriage. Now that they have come of age, they are entitled to such happiness. Of the two views discussed above, I?m in favor of the former. My reason is that on-campus students are laden with academic tasks. If one gets married now, he or she has to work much harder than other students because they have to solve their financial problems at the same time. As a married couple, for instance, they are supposed to rent a room in or outside the university, which will naturally add to their spending. Part Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) 1.

B 由题干的人名关键词Margaret Wheatley 可将答案定位至第一个小标题 下第一段末尾：Just think of the words of Margaret Wheatley：“Relationships are all there is ...We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.”原文指出了玛格丽特•惠特利的观点，即宇宙中任何事物都是联系中存在着，没有事物 可以完全孤立，我们也不能再假装认为我们是可以独立生活的个体。从而强调了 人与人之间联系及合作的重要性，四个个选项中只有选项B表达了这个意思。 3. A 由题干关键词business contacts 可将答案定位至第一个小标题下第三 段。由本段最后一句：I guarantee your work will become easier and more joyful if you make more of your business relationships personal. business contacts 指在生意上的合作伙伴，原文指出，如果能把工作关系变得更加私人化，那么工作将更加 简单而快乐。make something+adj., 表示“使…变得…”，四个选项中，只有A的表达与之相同。 4. D 题干关键词humble experiences 与原文humble beginnings 意义相近，可将答案定位至第一小标题下第五段第一、二句。由第二句They immediately empathize and feel more endeared to me than ever before. 原文表明，当作者把自己的卑微经历告诉人们之后，并没有得到大家的嘲笑和瞧不起，相反，由于大家的 身同感受反而使彼此的距离更加拉近了，humble experiences与humble beginnings是同义转述，表示自己过去卑微的经历，四个选项中，只是D项的表述与原文一致。 5. B 由题干关键词plan和first thing可将答案定位至第二小标题下第一段第 三句：So，first，do some deep introspection to find your Blue Flame，the thing in life that really lights your fire.句中的Blue Flame，the thing that really lights your fire指的是生命中最重要的事情，因此答案为B 6.

A 由题干关键词 the era of that Networking Jerk is over可将答案定位至第三个小标题下第三段：The era of that Networking Jerk is over. I learned that the hard way. Once，a mentor of mine said to me，“Stop driving yourself-and everyone else-crazy thinking about how to make yourself successful. Start thinking about how you?re going to make everyone around you successful.” the era of that Networking Jerk指小人得道的年代。原文指出，任何人都不应该疯狂地只向往自己的成功， 应该想一想，怎样才能帮助周围的人成功，这与上一道题所指出的成功地秘诀“给予”所表示的意思一样，因此本题选A 8. higher-order passion 由题干关键词deep expertise 可将答案定位至第三个小标题 下第五段第三句：If you want to become more valuable… you must develop expertise in your mind and root some higher-order passion in your heart. 此处应填入名词性成分，与deep expertise 一起用作介词with的宾语，原文中的develop deep expertise与root some higher-order passion是表示并列的两个动作行为，因此根据 题干句意，此处应填入higher-order passion，表示“更高涨的热情”。 9. your favorite activities 由题干关键词improve relationships 可将答案定位至第四个小标题下第二段：...building and deepening relationships will take no extra time than you already devote to your favorite activities，and people will see you in your best light.此处应填入名词性成分，作为介词to的宾语，原文指出应与大家 一起分享你的激情，而这并不会占用或减少你做自己最喜欢的事情的时间。相反， 会让大家看到你最闪光的一面。题干中的see you at your best 与文中的see you in your best light属同义转述，根据原文意思。此处应填入your favorite activities. 10. team up 由题干关键词effort 和success 可将答案定位至第四个小标题 下末段首句：Just as people lose weight more effectively if they have a workout partner， your ongoing efforts to build relationships will be more successful if you team up. 此处应填入动词原形，原文中用锻炼的例子作为类比，表明如果合作起 来， 那么人际关系的网络将会建立得更加成功，因此此处应填入team up。 Part Listening Comprehension Section A 11—18 ADCCABDA 19―25 ADBCCAB Section B 26―35 AADACBACBB Section C 36.reduce 37.fulfilled 38.progress 39.won 40.office 41.shot 42.duty 43.dangerous 44.He embarked upon a course of cutting taxes and government expenditures 45.During his two terms he increased defense spending by 35 percent 46.the goal of peace through strength seemed to be within grasp Part Listening Comprehension Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

W:Really ? I don?t agree. I think it was incredible ! M:Why do you think so ? W:Well, one of the most spectacular things about it is the special effects. M:You?re right. The special effects created so many fantastic settings and mysterious costumes, weapons and creatures. The special effects are the main reason for the success of this movie. W:It?s kind of cool that they still use the themes song for this movie. M:Yearh! It reminds me of the previous scenes. W:I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me feel homesick. M:I thought the overall plot of the movie was very interesting. But I don?t think the character development was that strong .They just don?t have a lot of funny or meaningful dialogues. The writing was a little boring and this may be the only one weakness of this movie. W:Well, maybe, but I like the little kid who played young “Anakin Skywalker”. I can?t imagine anyone else playing that role. M:I like him too. He?s so cute !You know, even though I was slightly disappointed, I can?t wait for the next episode. I wonder when they?re going to start making it and when it?s scheduled for release. W:I have no idea. But I hope it?ll be even better than this one.

M:Of course ! I would love to watch the Opening Ceremonies and some ball games. One of my favorites is the Olympic Flame. W:That?s always spectacular, isn?t it ? I think it?s a great tradition to start each Olympic with a new flame and then have the athletes and others pass the torch. M:Did you know that to follow an ancient tradition, the Olympic Committee lights the flame on Mount Olympian using a mirror to focus the sun?s light ? W:I didn?t realize … it would be nice to attend the lighting ceremony. I think it would be more fun, though, to run through the streets with the torch and pass it to someone else. M:Sounds like you?ve caught the spirit of it. Today, passing the flame is meant to pass light and wisdom onto others. W:Yeah. What I find also amazing is that the flame stays lit the whole period of the Olympic Games. Obviously, the Olympic Committee takes extra precaution to make sure the flames won?t die. M:I guess that?s a key part of the tradition. 23.What is the man?s favorite ? 24.What lights the Olympic Flame ? 25.What does the flame stand for ?

Passage One You still don?t know what to do this summer ? Well here?s your chance to win a one-week language course in Kent, England ! Free Fun and ETC (English Travel Connections) are giving away two trips to Rochester. This historic city is less than an hour?s drive from London and close to the sea resort of Herne Bay. It is also the home town of one of England?s most famous writers, Charles Dickens. The town of Rochester is in Southeast England. Charles Dickens often wrote about it in his books. A popular attraction is Rochester Castle. It was built in the 11 th century and rebuilt during the 14 th century. Other attractions are Rochester Cathedral, which was built during the 13 th century, and Dickens Centre. It has got its name in honor of Dickens himself.

Good luck ! 26.What will the winner win according to the passage ? 27.Where is Charles Dickens? home ? 28.What does the candidate have to know if he/she wants to win the prize ? Passage Two For many years now we have been referring to English as a gobal language, as the language of communication and technology, because it is used as a means of communication between, for example, a German scientist and an Italian politician. Very soon English will be the second language of all the people in the world. This is happening while I am speaking to you . English will be a compulsory subject on every school curriculum throughout the world. And what exactly does all of this mean for native speakers of English? Well , we are already in a minority. The widely used English won?t be British English or American English. It?ll be Majority English in the future. As more and more people speak English, it makes sense that they will become more competent. They will start to control more of the English resources being produced and to have a say in what should or shouldn?t be included in dictionaries and language books. This might seem far fetched but it is already starting to happen. So native English speakers will be no longer competitive, since we will be the only people in the world who speak just one language. Because, there won?t be much of a reason for native English speakers to learn a second language. All of you native English speakers out there, whether you?re planning to visit Eastern Europe or the Himalayas, one thing you won?t have to worry about is the language ! 29. Why has English been referred to as global language ? 30.What will be the widely used English in the future ? 31.Why will native English speakers be no longer competitive ? Passage Three You may have heard recently about what is being called the return of political cinema, following recent releases such as The Constant Gardener. So today I?m going to look at what political cinema is, and the history of political film making in Hollywood. First of all, what do I mean by political cinema ? The terms refer to films that make people aware of political or social situations. For example, the film Hotel Rwanda caused many people to take notice of the political situation in Rwanda for perhaps the first time. For many, the most prosperous period of political film making was the 1970s. Watergate, the Vietnam War, and famous actors with social consciences such as Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and Warren Beatty, made for a number of political films. Think of All the President?s Men, which detailed the corruption in Watergate. Political film making didn?t start in the seventies, though. Back in the 1940s and 1950s Hollywood produced films detailing social problems such as unemployment. In 1967 Guess Who?s Coming to Dinner, a comedy about a white couple whose daughter brings home a black boyfriend, covered a subject of inter-racial relationships. As I said, the seventies saw a sudden increase in political films, which carried on to some extent into the eighties, with the release of films such as Gandhi. The nineties is not generally seen as a good decade for political cinema. Schindler?s List stands out, which brings us to the present decade. 32.What is the passage about ? 33.When is political film the most prosperous ? 34.Which film is about the Watergate episode ? 35.What were political films produced in the 1940s and 1950s about ? Section C Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times, when the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea .When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information .For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. At the end of his two terms in office, Ronald Reagan viewed with satisfaction the achievements of his innovative program known as the Reagan Revolution. This revolution aimed to (36)reduce American people?s reliance upon the government. He felt he had (37)fulfilled his campaign pledge of 1980 to restore “the great, confident roar of American (38)progress and growth and optimism”. Ronald Reagan was nominated by Republicans in 1980 and chose as his running mate former United Nations Ambassador George Bush. Reagan (39) won 489 votes to 49 for President Jimmy Carter. On January 20, 1981, Reagan took (40)office Unfortunately, only about 69 days later he was (41) shot by a would-be assassin, but quickly recovered and returned to (42) duty. Moreover, his grace and wit during the (43) dangerous incident caused his popularity to soar. Dealing skillfully with Congress, Reagan obtained legislation to stimulate economic growth, curb inflation, increase employment, and strengthen national defense.(44)He embarked upon a course of cutting taxes and government expenditures. He also refused to deviate from it when the strengthening of defense forces led to a large deficit. In foreign policy, Reagan sought to achieve “peace through strength”. (45)During his two terms he increased defense spending by 35 percent. He also sought to improve relations with the Soviet Union. In dramatic meetings with Soviet leader, he negotiated a treaty that would eliminate intermediate-range nuclear missiles. By ordering naval escorts in the Persian Gulf, he maintained the free flow of oil during the Iran-Iraq war. Overall, the Reagan years saw a restoring of prosperity, and (46) the goal of peace through strength seemed to be within grasp. Part ? Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) Section A 47.It proves how dangerous the newer virus is. 本题问的是认识西班牙流感病毒和亚洲禽流感病毒的相似性的重要意义，定位到第三段中的“Nevertheless, the similarities… provide unusually concrete evidence of how dangerous the newer virus is.” 48.Science and Nature. 答案见第四段 49.they reconstructed the Spanish flu virus 此题题干与第五段首句意思相近。 本题需填选that 引导的表语从句，故将原文的动名词结构reconstructing the Spanish flu virus 转换成主谓结构。 50.release a long-awaited pandemic plan 见第六段中的 “… if necessary, and that the government?s long-awaited pandemic plan will be release soon. 据题干要求，将本段末尾句的宾语被动式从句结构转换为主动式。 51.American Samoa and parts of Iceland 题中的During and after World War?与in 1918 and early 1919同义， 定位末段的第二句，将原文中的主语用作此题中介 词except的宾语，从而得到答案。 Section B Passage One 52.A 此题题干的后半句话与文章首段的含义接近，但题干的核心部分是 What proved。根据第一段最后两句的内容及展开句与主题句之间的逻辑关系可 知，选项A为正确答案。 53.B wrong focus 出现在文章第一段，但第一段并未具体谈到错误的研究重 心是什么，根据第二段的第二句话可推断出，研究者把工作的重心放在了寻求那 些准备不充分的学生身上，故B为正确答案。 54.C 根据第三段可知，作者认为他的方法会导致学生在不能改正缺点时， 就不能追求自己所感兴趣的事情，也会被告知自己不具备大学生的素质，所以很 可能他们会遭受强烈的挫折感，从而失去继续努力学习的信心和兴趣，故C为正确答案。 55.B 题干中的deficits 在文章第三段先后出现了好几次，是此段的关键词， deficits是经济学术语，意为“亏损”，在本文中意为“缺陷、不足”。根据本句中它与remove 的搭配，以及此句后半句 “their „problems? have been overcome” 猜测出该词词义为deficiencies。 56.D 作者对“注重开发学生长处来促进其学习的方法”的态度体现在最后一段最后一句， 他认为此法能促进学生，使他们具有行动(agency)的力量，能帮助年轻人完成学业;而A,B,C 三个选项都是对此段内容的误读，故D为正确答案。 Passage Two 57.D 题干中的the most wanted man 出现在第一段第一句中， 但问题的答案需要考生查读至第二段才能找到：Dowes Ginting 引起国际专家的恐慌主要因 为他是目前传染性最强的疾病病毒携带者，他的出走使得附近的居民处于被传染 的危险状态，所以专家们希望尽快找到他。故选D为正确答案。 58.C 根据文章第三段末句和和第四段开头中的if从句可以判定，他们最担心禽流感会转变成一种可能在人群中传播的疾病，那么染病去世的人数会无法估 量。 故C为正确答案。 59.B 采用排除法， 将原文与各个选项对照进行仔细阅读， 可以得知药物应送至离发病区至少三英里的范围内，所以不能说四英里就不该得到药物，故B为正确答案。 60.A 根据文章最后两段可知，当地居民不愿意去医院就医， 而宁愿相信巫术，所以不会和疾病专家合作，文章首段也提到过Dowes Ginting 逃离医院后，在巫医那里寻求治疗方法的 案例 全员育人导师制案例信息技术应用案例心得信息技术教学案例综合实践活动案例我余额宝案例 ，故A 为正确答案。 61.A 可根据文章首尾段判断当地居民的不合作态度， 缘于他们对禽流感疾病缺乏足够的认识， 他们不相信医学，所以才宁愿选择其他不合适的方法进行治 疗故A为正确答案。 PartV Cloze 62.B 由and可知所填的词与alive是并列关系。B项thriving“兴旺的”符合文意，与传统婚姻的困难形成对比关系。A项surviving“继续存在的”;C项booming“急速发展的”;D项existing“现有的”。 63.C 所填词与空后的to 搭配。根据上下文可知这里是用来和欧洲人作比较 的，故选C。relative to意为“相对于”。其他选项均与文意不符。 64.D 分析上下文可知，空后边的部分是对前文内容的进一步说明，故所填 词应该表示递进关系。四个选项中只有D项Moreover表示递进。 65.C 由句意可知，所填词与marriage和decline 形成语义场共现，C项rate符合文意，表示二十世纪七十年代早期美国结婚率下降。 66.B 本句的主、从句之间是对比关系。前一句讲到七十年代结婚率下降， 故本句应该是结婚率上升了，比率的上升用increase。improve表示“改善，改进”。raise表示“上升，举起”。通常不与rate连用。 67.A 由空后的remarry可知，主语应是离过婚的人，故选A。B项separated“分开的”;C项isolated “孤立的”;D项broken“破碎的”。 68.D 空前的句子提到结婚率上升，空后的句子提到婚姻仍是大多数所喜欢 的生活方式，故前后两个句子之间是因果关系，只有D项Thus构成因果关系，故为答案。 69.A 上句提到比婚姻(marry)变化更大的是核心家庭，即小家庭(the nuclear family)。与此相比，在25年前由丈夫、妻子和两三个孩子组成的家庭应该是典 型的美国家庭，故选A。B项conservative “保守的”;C项traditional“传统的”;D项fashionable“时尚的”。 70.D 前面提到25年前典型的美国家庭一般有两三个孩子，空后提到许多夫 妻决定不要孩子，这是在拿过去和现在作对比，故D为答案。 71.A 根据上下文可推知，许多家庭里至少有几个孩子是来自其父母以前的婚 姻家庭，这里考查的是at构成的短语的辨析。at least“至少”;at most“最多”;at best“至多”;at worst“最坏”，故A符合文意。 72.C 根据上下文可推测，该句是说许多孩子来自父母以前的婚姻家庭，故C项previous“早先的，以前的”符合文意。A项primitive“原始的，古老的”;B项prior“优先的，在前的”;D项preliminary “预备的，初步的”。 73.D 该句中的these children 指的是那些离婚家庭的孩子，他们所跟的父母 应是原有婚姻中一方，故答案为D。 74.B 由该空前边的分号可知该空前后的两个分句是并列关系，前一个分句 中出现了sometimes ，后一分句应该与其对应，也用sometimes，故选B。 75.C 该空所在句与后面几个分句之间用分号隔开表明，它们之间是并列关 系，介绍的都是家庭的类型。后面几个句子介绍的都是有孩子的家庭，并提到了 孩子的来源。该句没有讲到孩子来自何处，故可知这里介绍的是没有孩子的家庭， 故选C。 76.C 经分析可知这四个分句是按照孩子的情况由简单到复杂的顺序来排列 的。上一句讲到没有孩子的家庭，后边两句讲到既有现在的婚姻中生的孩子，又 有原来的婚姻中生的孩子的情况，依次递进。因此这里应该讲目前婚姻中生的孩 子，故选C。 77.D 本段介绍在不同婚姻状态下孩子的情况，故选D。A项affection “感情”、B项happiness“幸福”、C项loves“爱情”均不符合文意。 78.B 从文中所列举的多种婚姻状况看，一个孩子有四个父母和八个祖父母 的事情是不足为奇的，故选B 79.A 从文章中所描述的现代婚姻的情况来看，现在的家庭和传统的核心家 庭已经有了很大的变化，A项enormous“巨大的，极大的”符合文意。B项considerable“相当大的”，通常与不可数名词或amount之类表数量的词连用。C项numerous “许多的，无数的”，通常指数量。D项giant“巨大的”。一般用来修饰体积。 80.B 前文提到美国的家庭状况相对于从前发生了很大的变化，后文指出大 多数美国人都会结婚，由此可知这两个句子之间是转折关系，故选B项But，与even so(即使如此)在语气上保持一致。 81.D 虽然美国家庭发生了许多变化，可是有一点是不变的，即大多数美国 人成年后都会结婚。此处为介词短语提前引起的全部倒装，所以空中应填一不及 物动词，故选D项remains“剩余，保留”。A项retains虽然也意为“保持，留”，但其是及物动词，故不选。 Part ? Translation 82.had interrupted me that evening 本题考查对interrupt用法的掌握。 interrupt意为”打断(某人)的讲话,打扰”, “打扰某人”可用interrupt sb. 来表达,因为interrupt发生在本句中的动词was之前,所以用had interrupted。 83.otherwise we would have telephoned him 本题考查对虚拟语气的掌握。句 中的otherwise “否则” 是对前面所述事实的否定,实际上相当于一个与过去事实 相反的虚拟条件句,即If we had known his telephone number,因此后面句子应该采 用相应的虚拟语气,谓语动词用would have done 的形式。 84.do the nurses want a pay increase 本题考查对倒装结构的掌握。含有否定 意义的词或短语在句中作状语时,如位于句首,则其所在句要求部分倒装。本句中 not only(不仅)明显含有否定意义,故其所在的句子需要部分倒装,应将助动词do提到主语the nurses之前。 85.the extent of the damage caused by the fire / the extent of the damage that the fire caused 表示 “损害的程度”,一般用the extent of the damage; “火灾造成的”可以翻译成定语从句,也可以直接用过去分词作后置定语。 86.Despite the wonderful acting / In spite of the wonderful acting 本题考查对despite和in spite of用法的掌握。”精妙的演技”与后面的well-developed plot(构思巧妙的情节)是由and连接的并列成分，由此可知,本句中的”尽管”不能用连词来表达,而只能用介词despite 或介词短语in spite of。
