american sports
the united states is a sports-loving nation. sports in america take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory; athletic games, played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing. most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
baseball is the most popular sport in the us. it is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the english game of cricket.
football is the most popular sport in the fall. the game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. it is still played by almost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people. the game is not the same as european football or soccer. in american football there are 11 players on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.
basketball is the winter sport in american schools and colleges. like football, basketball originated in the us and is not popular in other countries. many americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. it is a very popular game with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horse racing. although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the accuracy of the term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. the so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do “not assemble” primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race. gambling is the attraction of horse racing.
練習：
1．hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men, young and old, in the us.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
2．professional baseball teams can continue to play for a long period of time in the fall after the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
3．baseball shares many features with the english game of cricket.

4．football can be classified as a spectator sport.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
5．many americans like basketball better than football because the latter is so harsh that players have to wear special uniforms.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
6．basketball in american is so popular with universities that nationwide university matches are held yearly.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned
7．horse-racing fans cannot be considered sportsmen because they are spectators whose primary interest is gambling.
a. right b. wrong c. not mentioned

soot and snow：a hot combination
l new research from nasa scientists suggests emissions of black soot alter the way sunlight reflects off snow．according to a computer simulation，black soot may be responsible for 25 percent of observed global warming over the past century．
2 soot in the higher latitudes of the earth。where ice is more common，absorbs more of the sun’s energy and warmth than an icy, white background．dark-colored black carbon，or soot，absorbs sunlight，while lighter colored ice reflects sunlight．
3 soot in areas with snow and ice may play all important role in climate change．als0，if snow and ice covered areas begin melting。the warming effect increases，as the soot becomes more concentrated on the snow surface．“this provides a positive feedback，as glaciers and ice sheet smelt,they tend to get even dirtier,” said dr．james hansen，a researcher at nasa’s goddard institute for space studies，newyork．
4 hansen found soot’s effect on snow albedo(solar energy reflected back to space)，which may be contributing to trends toward early springs in the northern hemisphere，such as thinning arctic sea ice，melting glaciers and permafrost．soot also is believed to play a role in changes in the atmosphere above the oceans and land．
5 “black carbon reduces the amount of energy reflected by snow back into space，thus heating the snow surface more than if there were no black carbon~，”hansen said．soot’s increased absorption of solar energy is especially effective in warming the world’s climate. “this forcing is unusually effective，causing twice as much global warming as a carbon．dioxide forcing of the same magnitude，”hansen noted．
6 hansen cautioned．although the role of soot in altering global climate is substantial，it does not alter the fact that greenhouse gases are the primary cause of climate warming during the past century．such gases are expected to be the largest climate forcing f10r也e rest of this century．
7 the researchers found that observed warming in the northern hemisphere was 1arge in the winter and spring at middle and high latitudes．these observations were consistent with the researchers’ climate model simulations，which showed some of the largest warming effects occurred when there were heavy snow cover and sufficient sunlight．

goal of american education
education is all enormous and expensive part of american life. its size is matched by its variety.
differences in american schools compared with those found in the majority of other
countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone—not just
for a privileged elite. schools ale expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless
of ability, and also the needs of society itself．this means that public schools offer more
than academic subjects．it surprises many people when t11ey come here to find high schools
offering such courses as typing，sewing，radio repair, computer programming or driver training，along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics，history, and languages．students choose their curricula depending on their interests，future goals，and level of ability．the underlying goal of american education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities，and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness。．
schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and
“americanizing”the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many
different backgrounds and origins. schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns．
the approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal，
but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts．instead，americans try to
teach their children toⅱ1ink for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and
creative abilities．students spend much time，learning how to use resource materials libraries, statistics and computers．americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives．knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts．
this is america’s answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-moving time：“how can one prepare today’s child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?”

privileged adj．享有特權的

common problems, common solutions
the chances are that you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago --- and decided it’s not for you.
the chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers -- there are, after all about 60 million of them, work with them, and get along with them very well.
and finally it’s a pretty safe bet that you’re open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and nonsmokers -- or you wouldn’t be reading this.
and those three things make you incredibly important today.
because they mean that yours is the voice -- not the smoker’s and not the anti-smoker’s --that will determine how much of society’s efforts should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together.
for one tragic result of the emphasis on building walls is the diversion of millions of dollars from scientific research on the causes and cures of diseases which, when all is said and done, still strike the nonsmoker as well as the smoker. one prominent health organization, to cite but a single instance, now spends 28 cents of every publicly contributed dollar on " education " (much of it in anti-smoking propaganda) and only 2 cents on research.
there will always be some who want to build walls, who want to separate people from people, and up to a point, even these may serve society. the anti-smoking wall-builders have, to give them their due, helped to make us all more keenly aware of choice.
but our guess, and certainly our hope, is that you are among the far greatest number who know that walls are only temporary at best, and that over the long run, we can serve society’s interest better by working together in mutual accommodation.
whatever virtue walls may have, they can never move our society toward fundamental solutions. people who work together on common problems, common solutions, can.
1. what does the word " wall " used in the passage mean?
a) anti-smoking propaganda.
b) diseases striking nonsmokers as well as smokers.
c) rules and regulations that prohibit smoking.
d) separation of smokers from nonsmokers.
2. in paragraph 4, " you " refers to
a) smokers.
b) nonsmokers.
c) anti-smokers.
d) smokers who have quitted smoking.
3. it is evident that the author is not in favor of
a) building a wall between smokers and nonsmokers.
b) doing scientific research at the expense of one’s health.
c) bringing smokers and nonsmokers together.
d) proving accommodation for smokers.
4. as is suggested, the common solution to the common problem is
a) to separate people from people.
b) to work together in mutual accommodation.
c) to make us more keenly aware of choice.
d) to serve society’s interests better.
5. according to the passage, the writer looks upon the anti-smoking wall-builders’ actions
a) optimistically.
b) pessimistically.
c)unconcernedly.
d) skeptically.
第3篇
early or later day care
the british psychoanalyst john bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during
the sensitive“attachment” period from birth to three may scar a child’s personality and
i predispose to emotional problems in later life．some people have drawn the conclusion from
bowlby’s work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it entails，and many people do believe this. but there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion． firstly，anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents；found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societies．for example，in some tribal societies，such as the ngoni，the father and mother of a child did not rear their infant alone—far from it’．secondly，common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents
care-takers found children had problems with it．statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out，and even if they were，the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial．thirdly．in the last decade there have been a number of careful american studies of children in day care，and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neural or slightly positive effect on children’s development．but tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.
but bowlby’s analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects．the possibility that such care might lead to，say，more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics．whatever the long—term effects，parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with。．children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness．at the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy，and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time．the matter，then，is far from clear-cuff，though experience and available evidence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants．
辭彙：
psychoanalyst n．精神分析學家一心理分析學家 insulate vt．隔絕
rear vt．撫養 predispose引起易感性
care taker n.照顧者，看管人 entail vt．蘊涵
infant n．嬰兒 anthropologist n．人類學家
練習：
1． which of the following statements would bowlby support?
a)statistical studies should be carried out to assess the positive effect of day car
for children at the age of three or older．
b)early day care can delay the occurrence of mental illness in children．
c)the first three years of one’s life is extremely important to the later development of personality．
d)children under three get used to the life at nursery schools more readily than children
over three
2． which of the following is derivable from bowlby’s work?
a)mothers should not send their children to day care centers before the age of three．
b)day care nurseries have positive effects on a child’s development．
c)a child sent to a day care center before the age of three may have emotional problems
in later life．
d)baby care would not be so popular if it has noticeable negative effects on a child’s s personality．
3． it is suggested that modem societies differ from traditional societies in that
a)the parents—child relationship is more exclusive in modem societies．
b)a child more often grows up with his(her brothers or sisters in traditional societies．
c)mother brings up children with the help of her husband in traditional societies．
d)children in modem societies are more likely to develop mental illness in later years
4． which of the following statements is not an argument against bowlby’s theory?
a)many studies show that day care has a positive effect on children’s development．
b)the fact that there are so many nursery schools today shows that day care is safe．
c)the separation of young children from their parents is common in some traditional
societies．
d)parents find the immediate effects of early day care difficult to deal with．
5 which of the following best expresses the writer’s attitude towards early day care?
a)children under three should stay with their parents．
b)early day care has positive effects on children’s development．
c)the issue is controversial and its settlement calls for the use of statistics．
d)the effects of early day care on children are exaggerated and parents should ignore the issue．

why do people shrink?
did you ever see the movie honey, i shrunk the kids? it’s about a wacky dad (who’s also a scientist) who accidentally shrinks his kids with his homemade miniaturizing invention. oops! ____1____.
for older people, shrinking isn’t that dramatic or sudden at all. it takes place over years and may add up to only one inch or so off of their adult height (maybe a little more, maybe less), and this kind of shrinking can’t be magically reversed, although there are things that can be done to stop it or slow it down. ___2___.
there are a few reasons. as people get older, they generally lose some muscle and fat from their bodies as part of the natural aging process. gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground) take hold, and the bones in the spine, called vertebrae, may break down or degenerate, and start to collapse into one another. ___3___. but perhaps the most common reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis.
osteoporosis occurs when too much spongy bone tissue (which is found inside of most bones) is broken down and not enough new bone material is made. ___4___. bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured. older people --especially women, who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with -- are more likely to develop osteoporosis. as years go by, a person with osteoporosis shrinks a little bit.
did you know that every day you do a shrinking act? you aren’t as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning. that’s because as the day goes on, water in the disks of the spine gets compressed (squeezed) due to gravity, making you just a tiny bit shorter. don’t worry, though. ___5___.
a. they end up pressing closer together, which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter.
b. once you get a good night’s rest, your body recovers, and the next morning, you’re standing tall again.
c. over time, bone is said to be lost because it’s not being replaced.
d. luckily, there are things that people can do to prevent shrinking.
e. the kids spend the rest of the movie as tiny people who are barely visible while trying to get back to their normal size.
f. but why does shrinking happen at all?

答案及解析
第一部分：辭彙選擇（第1-15題，每題1分，共15分）
下面共有15句子，每個句子均有一個詞或短語劃有底橫線，請從每個句子後面所給的四個選項中選擇一個與劃線部分意義最相近的詞或短語。答案一律塗在答題卡相應的位置上。
1．a. 分析：根據句意（“政府正在..教育法”）排除b（搭配詞義不通順），c和d（c和d都通常和進行時態連用）。debate: vt, vi討論，爭論;discuss : vt談論；討論；商討(with sb. )；delay: vt, vi, n. 推遲；延緩 ；decline: vt, vi下降；下滑；下傾
1 a. 劃線詞和四個被選項這5個名詞都是較為常見辭彙。其中，scene是“現場, 場面, 情景, 景色”；view是“景色, 風景, 觀點, 見解”；event是“事件”， landscape“風景, 山水畫, 地形”。從句意（克朗代克河地區是人們迄今為止所知道的最大淘金熱（發生地）之一）來看scene的含義是“地點”，所以答案是a。
3 a。根據搭配—“...媒體報導”判斷a（大量的，廣大的，廣闊的）合適。而藉助mass 的含義(n.塊, 大多數, 質量, 民眾, 大量adj.民眾的, 大規模的, 集中的)也可猜測出massive的含義與“大量的”有關，這樣也能判斷答案。negative adj.否定的, 消極的, 負的； expensive adj.昂貴的； active adj.積極的, 能起作用的。該句的含義是“她一直是許多媒體報導的對象。”
4 b． 根據搭配--“...的可能性”判斷b（調查，研究）最合適。reject vt.拒絕, 抵制； propose
vt.計畫, 建議, 向...提議； postpone vt.推遲, 使延期；該句的含義是“會議研究了進行更加緊密的貿易聯繫的可能性。”
5 b.根據and的使用特點：前後結構對稱，詞義色彩一致，因此判斷b（（平靜的和）安靜的）是答案。rough adj.粗糙的, 粗略的, 大致的, 粗暴的，洶湧澎湃的。該句的含義是“大海安靜而又平靜”。
6 b. 句子中出現了“in a bullfight（在鬥牛中）..顏色”這樣的結構和詞語，因此猜測劃線詞所在的結構含義可能是“（刺激）牛”。因此判斷b（使..興奮）是答案。confuse vt.搞亂, 使糊塗；scare v.驚嚇； satisfy vt.滿足, 使滿意；該句的含義是“在鬥牛比賽中，讓牛興奮的是物體的運動，而不是物體的顏色。”
7 d. comprise v.包含, 由...組成; 該詞和d（involve vt.包括） 是近義詞。absorb vt.吸收, 吸引; concern vt.涉及, 關係到n.(利害)關係, 關心; exclude vt. 把...排除在外; 該句含義是“這個委員會是由5個人組成。”
8 a．assemble vt.集合, 聚集, 裝配vi.集合；該詞和a（ collect v.收集, 聚集）是近義詞。fix vt.使固定, 裝置, 修理；assert v.斷言, 聲稱；assist v.援助, 幫助；該句含義是“所有的人都在瑪麗的房子裡集合。”
9． a。 分析： 該句含義是“他在生意中賺了一大筆錢。”immense adj.極大的; limited adj.有限的；
10.a. 分析： accelerate v.加速, 促進, 所以a（加快）是答案。shorten v.縮短, (使)變短；loosen v.解開, 放鬆, 鬆開； enlarge v.擴大, 放大； 詞綴-en通常加在某些形容詞的前面或後面，使其變成相應的動詞，該詞綴的含義是“使變得更加..”, 如：enlarge就是“使變得更大/擴大”
11. b. 分析：根據句意（我們切不可（滿足於）僅僅有一點點書本知識。）判斷b（使滿足）是答案。convince vt.使確信, 使信服； benefit n.利益, 好處vt.有益於, 有助於； comfort n.安慰, 舒適, 安慰者
vt.安慰, 使(痛苦等)緩和；
12. a. 分析：藉助搭配結構“…問題”排除b（think後通常帶賓語從句）和d（搭配不合理）。根據句意（我們應該考慮到問題的各個方面）判斷a（仔細考慮）最合適。
13. b. 分析：藉助搭配“健康…”，排除c和d（strong和 weak都不和“健康”搭配使用，只能說“身體” strong或 weak），再藉助句意（在監獄服刑期間他的健康變得惡化了）判斷b（變得更糟糕）是答案。deteriorate v.(使)惡化
14． a。 分析，藉助句意（我（本來打算）今天給你這本書的，可是我忘了）判斷a（打算..）是答案。tend to v. 往往..; pretend to do sth.v.假裝做某事; extend v.擴充, 延伸,給予。 extend 後所帶的to 是介詞。
15. c. 分析：as a matter of fact adv.事實上； accurately adv.正確地, 精確地； basically
adv.基本上, 主要地; probably adv.大概, 或許
第二部分：閱讀判斷（每題1分，共七分）
閱讀下面這篇短文，短文後列出了七個句子，請根據短文的內容對每個句子作出判斷。如果該句提供的是正確信息，請在答題卡上把a塗黑；如果該句提供的是錯誤信息，請在答題卡上把b塗黑；如果該句的信息文章中沒有提及，請在答題卡上把c塗黑
american sports
1. c. 分析：利用題乾中的核心結構hunting and fishing和特徵結構men, young and old作為答案線索，這樣發現答案相關句：sports in america take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory; athletic games, played for recreation（娛樂） anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing.發現答案相關句中並沒有提到men, young and old，根據該相關句及相鄰句子的句意不能“推導出”也不能“反駁”問題句的句意，所以該句的說法為“沒提到”。
2. a. 分析：利用題乾中的核心結構和特徵結構（professional baseball teams和the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer）作為答案線索，這樣發現答案相關句：baseball is the most popular sport in the us. it is played throughout the spring and summer（對應the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer.）, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall（對應play for a long period of time in the fall）. 判斷該句的句意與問題句的句意一致，該題主要是考察well into the fall(一直到秋季末)結構的含義。
3． a。 分析：利用題乾中的核心結構（baseball 和cricket）作為答案線索，這樣發現答案相關句：although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the english game of cricket（板球）.判斷該句的句意（與棒球運動最接近的就是英國的板球）與問題句的句意一致， 因此該問題句的說法“正確”。
4． a。 分析：利用題乾中的核心結構（football 和spectator sport）作為答案線索，這樣發現答案相關句：some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.（第一段最後一句）…the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people.該題考察考生的推斷能力：既然最大的足球體育館能容納下80，000觀眾，那么根據spectator sports（觀賞性運動）的定義，足球應該是spectator sports。
5. b. 分析：利用題乾中的核心結構（basketball 和football）作為答案線索，這樣發現答案相關句：basketball is the winter sport in american schools and colleges. like football, basketball originated in the us and is not popular in other countries. many americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. 該相關句的說法與問題句的說法不一致（主要是“理由”的表述方面不一致），所以判斷問題句的說法“不正確”。
6． c。 分析：利用題乾中的核心結構（nationwide university matches）作為答案線索，這樣發現答案相關句：it is a very popular game with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high school matches are held yearly.發現該句的說法與問題句的說法“不一致”，但又不能因此而判斷問題句的說法“錯誤”。因此判斷該題的說法為“沒提到”。
7． a。 分析：利用題乾中的horse-racing fans作為答案線索，這樣發現答案相關句：other spectator sports include wrestling（摔交）, boxing, and horse racing. ... the so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do “not assemble” primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race. gambling is the attraction of horse racing.根據相關句群的句意（賽馬比賽的吸引人之處是賭博， 賽馬迷只是對賭博感興趣）發現問題句的說法與這些相關句的說法一致，因此問題句的說法“正確”
第三部分：概括大意與完成句子 （每題1分，共8分）
閱讀下面這篇短文，短文後有2項測試任務：（1）1---4 題要求從所給的6個選項中為第2--5 段每段選擇1個正確的小標題；（2）第5--8題要求從所給的6個選項中選擇4個正確的選項，分別完成每個句子。請將答案塗在答題卡相應的位置上。
soot and snow：a hot combination
1．c 第三段解釋了為什麼soot會增加地球升溫效應。
2．a 第四段介紹了soot在兩方面起的作用：(1)soot增加了雪吸收太陽能量和熱量的能力；(2)soot導致海洋和陸地上空的大氣層發生變化。
3．f 第六段的關鍵句子是：“…greenhouse gases are the primary cause of climate warming during the past century．” ．
4．b 第七段介紹了在研究北半球的緯度、雪覆蓋面和日照諸因素與氣溫升高之間的關係方面取得的成果。
5．b 選擇b的依據是第一段。有關的句子是：。“…black soot may be responsible for 25 percent of observed global warming over the past century．”選項b中用了過去式contributed，也是選b的一個線索，因為第五題的題乾中有in me twentieth century，這個時間狀語要求謂語動詞用過去式，而4個選項中只有b項的動詞用的是過去式。
6．e hansen cautioned和greenhouse gases僅出現在第六段。該段的大意是：雖然煤煙在改變全球氣候方面所起的作用相當顯著，但是上個世紀氣溫上升的主要因素還是溫室氣體。選項e概括了第六段的意思。
7．d 本題答案的依據是第二段第一句。
8．a 本題答案的依據是第五段的下列句子： soot’s increased absorption of solar energy is especially effective in warming the world’s climate．“this forcing is unusually effective， causing twice as much global warming as a carbon-dioxide forcing of the same magnitude，”harisen noted．

第1篇
goal of american education
1 c a，b，d均只指出了美國教育目標的一個方面。 ．
2 d 文中提到學生可以根據自己的興趣、目標和能力來選擇課程。
3 d a,b,d都只提到教育的某一個方面，但美國教育最強調的是對學生獨立解決問題能力的培養.
4 c 本文中沒有提到外國留學生.
5 d 給每個學生最充分地發揮自己能力的機會是美國教育的最重要特點。
第2篇
common problems, common solutions
1．d．問題問“文章中的牆指代什麼？”。利用wall這個線索詞在文章中發現了位於第5段中答案相關句--- “。。把我們（和吸菸者）分開的牆..。家族詞的出現也是確認答案的線索：該題中separate在原文中 ---- separation在備選答案中。
2．d．問題問“第4段中you 指代什麼？”。you從第1段就開始出現，所以應指第1段中所說的“已經放棄吸菸的吸菸者”。
3．a．該題問“很明顯作者不主張什麼？”。文章的最後一段說“無論什麼樣的道德牆都未曾，也不能推動我們的社會去解決基本的問題。”，可見作者很反對wall的建立。而只有a提到了wall，所以選擇a。
4．b． 該題問“正如在文章中所表明的那樣，普通問題的普通解決的方法應該是..”。在第8段中可以找到答案。
5．d．該題問“作者對建立吸菸隔離牆的行為的態度是什麼？”。d “懷疑的”最合適。
第3篇
early or later day care
1．c 波比認為，孩子從出生到三歲這段時間是一個敏感的“依戀”期。三歲以下的
孩子如與父母分開可能會給孩子的性格造成傷害，進而導致以後的情感問題。因此可以認為波比會同意c
2．a c是波比的思想，而不是依據他的思想得出的結論，因此不對。第一段的第二句話說：一些人從波比的研究得出結論，日托要使父母和孩子分開，孩子三歲之前不應該送日托。因此a是正確答案。
3．a 第二段的第一句話說：人類學家指出，現代社會中父母與孩子之間的絕緣的愛的關係在傳統社會中一般不存在。insulated(絕緣的)一詞與a中的exclusive(排他的)相呼應。文章只是在第二段的第一句中提到傳統社會，僅從這句話不能推斷出b、c、d。
4．d 第二段列出了三條論據反對波比的理論。這三條論據分別對應c、b、a。“父母們覺得眼前的後果難以應付”不是反對波比理論的論據。
5．c 作者中立地報導了對日托的兩種不同看法，並指出缺乏統計研究。特別是在第三段的第二句話中提出，日托是否會在15或20年後導致精神病或犯罪只能用統計的方法來研究。因此c是正確答案。
第五部分：補全短文（每題2分，共10分）
閱讀下面的短文，文章中有5處空白，文章後有6組文字，請根據文章的內容選擇5組文字，將其分別放會文章原有位置，以恢復文章原貌。請將答案塗在答題卡相應的位置。
why do people shrink?
1. e. 分析：段落中句意的特點：空格前面的內容講述電影情節，所以e的出現就很自然了。在用詞上kids連續使用（呼應）
2. f. 分析：在段落中利用核心結構進行跳讀，發現空格前句說“..儘管人們能做一些事情來阻止“縮小”或減緩“縮小””，比較備選項，發現f合適：f提出問題來總結該段，引起下文。
3. a. 分析： 空格前面具體講述“地球引力對人體骨架的影響”，接著在空格處繼續談到“這種影響最終的結果”是很自然的。在用詞呼應上：one another(彼此)與a中的they 呼應。
4． c。分析：空格前後句中都在提到“bone”或與“bone”相關的內容，所以c出現的可能性最大。
5． b。分析：作為文章的最後一句，該句往往具有總結性。對比剩下的選項，不難發現b合適：在句意上（好好休息一個晚上，第二天早晨， 你的身體通過一晚上的休息又恢復體力， 你站起還會是那么高。）在對前句句意（儘管這樣，也不用擔心）進行解釋說明。
第六部分：完型填空 （每題1分，共15分）
閱讀下面的短文，文中有15處空白，每處空白給出了4個選項，請根據短文的內容從4個選項中選擇1個最佳答案，並塗在答題卡相應的位置上。
something men do not like to do
1． c 第一段第一個句子是主題句，說的是：eric brown討厭買東西。因此“shopping”是合適的選擇。
2． a 語境是這樣的：當我出去買東西時，我基本上已經知道我要買什麼。我沖了進去，買了後……顯然，填入“get out”(出去)是連貫的。“stay in”是“在家裡呆著”，“look round”是“環顧”，“move about”是“閒蕩”，不難看出，這些都不是合適的選擇。
3。 b 第二段的第一個句子說的是：一般的認識認為，男人討厭買東西。第三句的起始詞是“but”，它告訴我們意思將發生轉折，因而“challenging”是合適的選擇。“confirming”是“確認”的意思，“proving”是“證明”，“supporting”是“支持”。
4． a 第三段的第一個句子引自紐約城市大學社會學教授sharon zukin的話，大意是：……在社會階層、種族特點、年齡上是有差異的，男人都說他們討厭買東西。可以看出，合適的選擇是“regardless of”(不管)，“because of”，“owing to”，“thanks to”都表示“原因”，插入後意思上是不連貫的。
5． b 緊接著第三段第一個句子的後一個句子由“yet”起始， 這個詞提示我們由它引導的句子在意思上跟上一個句子構成對比。由於上一個句子說的是“男人們討厭買東西”，那么這個句子應當說的是男人們實際上是喜歡買東西的。因此，“like”是合適的選擇。
6． d 從下文的“music”(音樂)，“hardware”(硬體)判斷，“coats”(外套)，pants(褲子)，socks(襪子)都不是合適的選擇，因為它們都不能與“music”和“hardware”構成一個比較自然的類別，所以惟有“books”是合適的選擇。另外，緊隨其後的一句話中也出現了“books”這個詞，這是提示。
7． d 該題問的是：男人們不把買書和音樂製品看做是購物，那么他們把它看做是什麼呢?從下面的三段提供的信息來看，“research”(研究)比“relaxation”(放鬆)，“rest”(休息)，“exercise”(鍛鍊)更合適一點。
8． d 該題問的是：男人們和女人們在稱之為“買東西”和行事方式上都會怎么樣?所在的句子實際上是對前面文章的總結。所以合適的選擇是“different”。 “similar”(相似的)、 “contradictory”(矛盾的)和“inclusive”(兼容的)都不構成答案。
9． a 買東西是需要來回看的， 這是常識。另外，緊隨其後的句子中也用了“wander”(漫遊)這個詞。
lo． d 上文中出現了“perfect”(完美的)。注意：文章始終在把男人與女人做比較。因此此處也套用“perfect”。 ’
11． d 注意緊隨其後的動詞不定式“to be won’’(贏得)，只能是“game”(遊戲)。“won”在語義上搭配的
12．c 這個句子要表達的是：這會使得他們快樂。“makes”是正確的。如果用 ‘‘brings”，須改原文：it brings them happiness．或it brings happiness to them．如用“causes”，也須改原文：it causes them to be come happy．“it keeps them happy．”是可以說的，但它的意思是：他們原來就快樂。但是，是否如此?文章沒有說。
13．a “nobody”，“no one”和“anybody”用於否定的語境。但該句子提供的不是一種否定的語境，因此，正確的選擇是“everybody”。
14．c 至此文章都是在說男女之間的差別，因而“division”是理想的選擇。整個句子說的是：事實上，在服裝方面最能清楚地把男女區分開來。“competition”是“競爭”，“comparison”是“比較”，“confrontation”是“對抗”。
15．d 對許多男人來說，選擇的範圍越窄，買衣服越方便。因此“narrow”(窄)是合適的選擇
