Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished 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.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
It is simple enough to say that since books have classes?fiction, biography, poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of bio graphy that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow?worker and accomplice(同謀).
If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible finess(委婉之處), from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirty?two chapters of anovel—if we consider how to read a novel first—are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building but words are more impalpable than bricks, reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing. Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you—how at the corner of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.
21.What does the author mean by saying “Yet few people ask from books what books can give us.”?
A.The author means that lots of people read few books.
B.The author thinks that readers have only absorbed part of knowledge in books.
C.The author holds that few people have a proper idea about what content some kind of books should include.
D.The author considers that readers can scarcely understand most of the books.
22.According to the passage, which of the following statement is right?
A.A reader should find some mistakes when he is reading.
B.The more difficult a book is, the more you can get from it.
C.To read something is easier than to watch something.
D.One should be in the same track with the writer when he is reading.
23.What is the possible meaning of “impalpable” (Paragraph 2) in the passage?
A.Clear.B.Elusive.C.Delicate.D.Precise.
24.What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.The importance of reading.
B.The proper way to read.
C.How to get most from one book.
D.The characters of a good book.
25.When a writer is writing he often get the whole conception ____.
A.after a long time’s thinking
B.through an instant inspiration
C.according to his own experience
D.by way of watching the objects attentively
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
According to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are creative every day. To create means “to bring into being, to cause to exist”—something each of us does daily.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sese to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “There is nothing new under the sun,” the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day?to?day activities.
26.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?
A.To prepare a meal.
B.To arrange the furniture in a peculiar way.
C.To buy some books from a bookstore.
D.To “write” a letter with the computer.
27.The author holds that ____.
A.creativity is of highly demand
B.creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extent
C.creativity is to create something new and concrete
D.to practise and practise is the only way to cultivate one’s creativity
28.“There is nothing new under the sun.” (Par.3) really implies that ____.
A.we can seldom create new things
B.a new thing is only a tale
C.a new thing can only be created at the basis of original things
D.we can scarcely see really new things in the world
29.What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
A.It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.
B.To find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing.
C.One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
D.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.
30.The best title for this passage is ____.
A.How to Cultivate One’s Creativity
B.What is Creativity
C.The Importance of Creativity
D.Creativity—a Not Farway Thing
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.
I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar(討論會). The professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a reseacher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic(語言的) feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal(情態(tài)的) verbs—far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said, “This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.” or “You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.”
In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore, students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it.
Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers who taught in our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students uniformly expressed the same idea in their English composition. The examinations in America usually do not test a student’s ability to memorize the material but his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education in America is valued not only as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancing critical thinking.
31.In the USA, when the students are in class, ____.
A.a Chinese student tends to be very active
B.an American student likes to make trouble
C.a Chinese student likes to puzzle the teacher
D.an American student tends to be vigorous
32.A teacher in the USA prefers to ____ when he answers questions.
A.be very sincere B.be very direct
C.be very self?confident D.be very indifferent
33.What is the opinion of the author concerning the difference of teaching methods between China and the USA?
A.He thinks that Chinese teaching metods can make students learn more.
B.He holds that the major purpose of Chinese teaching methods is to improve students’ remembrance.
C.He thinks that American teaching is ability?oriented.
D.He holds that American teachers hate to give a test.
34.The author thinks that the relationship between the student and the teacher is ____.
A.more intimate in China B.closer in China
C.looser in USA D.more harmonious in USA
35.The education in USA may produce some ____ graduates.
A.talkative B.conventional
C.creative D.imaginative
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
On?line courses (also called distance learning) are a hot new trend in American education. According to the nonprofit Distance Education and Training Council,about 400 US colleges and schools offer some portion of their programs on the Web. At the university level, they cost the same as traditional classes and require similar weekly assignments and textbook reading, the difference is in class participation.
Generally speaking, students congregate(使聚集) on?line throughout each week to explore topic with the professor, but these discussions occur “asynchronously(不同時發(fā)生地)” rather than in real time. (You read others’ comments and post your own whenever you get a chance.) Written assignments are posted, you email in your work periodically, and you’re required to take a proctored exam in order to receive degree credit. Career?boosting business administration and information technology programs are the most popular, but you’ll also find a variety of literal arts offerings, from film theory to medieval history and foreign language study. While you still can’t get an Ivy League degree on?line, a growing number of elite(卓越的) institutions, including Stanford and New York University are beginning to offer on?line courses.
The benefits for busy people are obvious. “I always get a front?row seat,” says one student studying at the State University of New York Learning Network.“I can get up in the middle of class, grab a cup of coffee. The class is waiting for me when I get back, and I haven’t missed a thing.” On the other hand, some students miss the face?to?face interaction that often sparks interest and involvement.
36.Generally speaking, on?line education costs ____.
A.more than the traditional one
B.less than the traditional one
C.as much as the traditional one
D.the author hasn’t mentioned
37.The major way to hand out assignments of on?line students is ____.
A.to hand out them in person
B.to post them
C.to e?mail in them
D.to let the teacher enter into their personal main pages
38.Which kind of program is probably NOT welcomed by most of the students?
A.Software development. B.Decoration and design.
C.Company management D.International trade.
39.The closest meaning of “Ivy League” (Par. 2) ____.
A.famous universities in USA
B.famous business colleges in USA
C.famous companies in USA
D.universities with a long history
40.It is implied that in USA ____.
A.on?line education will take the place of the traditional one soon
B.there are only a few on?line programs until now
C.one need not take part in the exam in order to receive a diploma by way of on?line education
D.one can not receive a degree certificate of New York University through distant learning

短文大意
本散文談讀書方法。作者認(rèn)為許多讀者因存在太多先入之見而不能從書中汲取它們所能提供給我們的東西。而如果能在閱讀時盡量和作者融為一體的話，就可以體會到書本中的許多微妙之處。最后作者又告訴讀者可通過動手練筆的方式領(lǐng)會作家是如何創(chuàng)作的，靈感和構(gòu)思是如何得來的。
21.答案C。
【參考譯文】 作者說“然而很少有人向書籍索取它們所能提供給我們的東西。”的真正含義是什么?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“對含義復(fù)雜句子的正確理解”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 解答此題，正確理解“Yes…us”一句含義是關(guān)鍵。其實質(zhì)含義是：“許多人讀書時因觀念不正確，而僅僅能從書本中得到很少的知識獲得很少的啟迪”。這樣，我們就可以對選項進(jìn)行逐個分析取舍了。A項意為“作者認(rèn)為許多人讀的書都太少”，顯然與我們的分析不符。B項意為“作者認(rèn)為讀者僅僅從書中汲取了部分知識。”這句話只是引文部分的字面含義，所以也應(yīng)排除。再看C項作者認(rèn)為許多人對某類書應(yīng)該包含什么樣的內(nèi)容沒有正確的觀念。這才是作者的隱含意思，所以是正確的。而D項“作者認(rèn)為許多讀者對大量的書都不能讀懂。”這也是一種錯誤的理解，也應(yīng)排除。這樣就可確定選項為C。
22.答案D。
【參考譯文】 根據(jù)短文，下面的說法哪一個是正確的?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“對具體細(xì)節(jié)的把握”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 此題只能用排除法，去掉與文章細(xì)節(jié)不符的選項。選項A意為“讀者在閱讀時應(yīng)該能發(fā)現(xiàn)一些錯誤。”文章中沒有此細(xì)節(jié)，可排除。B項“一本書越難讀，從中得到 知識也越多。”也與文意無關(guān)。再看C項“閱讀比觀看容易。”根據(jù)文章第二段第四句最后一分句可知這正與作者的觀點相反，故也排除。最后只剩下D項，應(yīng)為正確答案。而其內(nèi)容“讀者在閱讀時應(yīng)和作者保持一致。”正是作者的觀點，無疑正確。
23.答案B。
【參考譯文】 第二段中“impalpable”一詞最可能的含義是什么?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“根據(jù)上下文推測生詞含義”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 先看上文：作家想把素材安排得像一座完整的大房，使之具體化。接下來就是含有“impalpable”一句。句首用“but”引導(dǎo)，有轉(zhuǎn)折含義。所以此單 詞意義可能與“具體”相對。再看下文，閱讀比觀看更復(fù)雜和費時。這樣，該詞的含義就可以基本確定了，應(yīng)該是“非常抽象難以捉摸的”之類的意思。(這里與” 磚頭”相比，更加強(qiáng)了這一點)據(jù)此可排除A、D項。C項意為“微妙”，意近。但B項恰好意為“難以捉摸的”，更與生詞含義接近，所以應(yīng)選B。此題目C項干擾性較大，注意要避免匆忙選擇，而功虧一簣。
24.答案B。
【參考譯文】 此文的主要內(nèi)容是什么?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“對文章的主旨和大意的把握”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 解答此題關(guān)鍵在于先弄清文章的主旨和大意。在此基礎(chǔ)上就可進(jìn)行選棄了。此短文主要講“何為正確的讀書方法”。據(jù)此，A項“閱讀的重要性”，C項“如何從書 中獲取最多的信息”，D項“一本好書的特征”，均不能選。而B項“何為正確的讀書方法”，正與我們的分析不謀而合，所以B為正確答案無疑。
25.答案B。
【參考譯文】 作家在寫作時，常通過什么樣的方式來獲得構(gòu)思?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“對具體細(xì)節(jié)正確理解”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 答案可從文章最后一句獲得。解答此類題的關(guān)鍵就是找到并正確理解有關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)。根據(jù)最后一句可知“作家構(gòu)思的獲得是通過瞬間的感悟。”這樣，就可對選項進(jìn)行逐 個分析了。A項意為“通過長期的思考”，雖符合一般常識，但不是作者看法，排除。B項意為“瞬間/快速的靈感”，與作者的觀點十分接近，有正確的可能。再 看C項“根據(jù)作者自己的`經(jīng)歷”，作者也沒有提及。而D項“通過專心致志地觀看描寫的對象”，這只是構(gòu)思活動過程的一部分。與B項相比，也應(yīng)排除�，F(xiàn)在就可 確定：B項為正確答案。

短文大意
本文主要介紹了什么是創(chuàng)造力。作者認(rèn)為創(chuàng)造力離我們并不遙遠(yuǎn)，我們每天都在創(chuàng)造。創(chuàng)造力有三個方面的表現(xiàn)，第一是以新的方式觀察和思考。第二 是能觀察到事物之間的關(guān)系。第三是運用新思想的勇氣和激情，運用新思想來獲得新的效果。最后作者指出創(chuàng)造力的三方面需要全面非凡的天賦，但同時也需要我們?nèi)粘ＴS許多多的親身實踐。
26.答案C。
【參考譯文】 下列哪一種活動不具有創(chuàng)造性?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“根據(jù)所讀材料進(jìn)行一定的判斷”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 本題可用排除法。根據(jù)第一段可知創(chuàng)造力的含義是“使事物產(chǎn)生”，“致使事物存在”。而它三個方面的表現(xiàn)可參考“短文大意”，據(jù)此，A項“做飯”是一種日常 生活中的“使飯產(chǎn)生”，具有創(chuàng)造性。B項“用一種獨我的方式安排家俱”，為創(chuàng)造力第二面詳述中的例子，故也是創(chuàng)造活動。再看C項“從書店買書”，只是一種 簡單的行為，不涉及創(chuàng)造性。而D項“用電腦寫一封信”即“創(chuàng)造一封信”，也為創(chuàng)造性活動，也不能選。這樣就可得出結(jié)論，A、B、D項不能選，C為正確答 案。解答此題時要千萬注意問題的提問方式是問“哪一個不是”，以免錯誤理解題意而誤選。
27.答案B。
【參考譯文】 作者認(rèn)為……
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“對具體細(xì)節(jié)的把握”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 此題的解答需要在理解文章大意及細(xì)節(jié)基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行。選項A意為“創(chuàng)造力對人的素質(zhì)要求很高”。此項初看正確，而且作者在文章末尾也提到。但根據(jù)文章開頭，可知平凡人每天都在創(chuàng)造。所以只能先在此選項上作個標(biāo)記，再繼續(xù)分析。選項B意為“創(chuàng)造力在一定程度上取決于非凡的洞察力。”根據(jù)最后一段，可知這是一種 “天賦”，故正確。選項C認(rèn)為“創(chuàng)造力只體現(xiàn)在創(chuàng)造某些新的具體東西”，失之片面。D項認(rèn)為“不斷實踐是培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造力的唯一方面”，也失之片面(參見文章最 后一句)。這樣就只剩下A、B項，兩者相比，A項似乎仍顯武斷和片面，故也排除。這樣就可確定B為正確答案。
28.答案C。
【參考譯文】 “太陽之下無新物”(第三段)的真正含義是什么?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“根據(jù)上下文理解含義復(fù)雜句子”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 此題可在正確理解句子含義的基礎(chǔ)上采取“排除法”來解答。根據(jù)上下文可以得知：此句的真正含義是“任何新事物的產(chǎn)生都是建立在原有事物基礎(chǔ)之上的”。據(jù) 此，A項認(rèn)為“我們很少能創(chuàng)造新事物”，顯然只是句子的字面意思，不正確。B項“創(chuàng)造新事物是一個神話”，也為字面理解。再看C項“只有在原有事物基礎(chǔ)之 上才能創(chuàng)造新事物”，這不正是我們分析得出的結(jié)論嗎?而D項“我們幾乎不可能看到新事物”，更是差之甚遠(yuǎn)。這樣就可確定C項為正確答案無疑。
29.答案C。
【參考譯文】 作者如何認(rèn)識獲得新思想與將其付諸于實踐的關(guān)系?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“對特定的細(xì)節(jié)的把握”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 先找有關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)。此問題涉及到對文章第三段最后一句的理解。作者認(rèn)為“獲得新思想并不意味著就能夠?qū)⑵涓吨T實踐，暗含“知易行難”的意義。這樣，我們就可對 選項進(jìn)行分析選棄了。先看A項“獲得新思想比將其付諸實踐困難”。顯然剛好與我們分析的含義相反，故排除，再看B項“只要獲得新思想就可將其付諸實踐。” 也不對。而C項“一個人可能獲得某種新思想，但有可能無法將其付諸實踐。”正是作者的觀點，所以是正確的。也就無需看D。 實際上，D項說“實踐能力很強(qiáng)的人容易成為發(fā)明家。”并不是作者的觀點，因為作者只是認(rèn)為實踐對培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造力是具有重要作用，所以也不正確。這樣就可確定C 為正確答案無疑。
30.答案B。
【參考譯文】 本文最好的標(biāo)題是什么?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“對閱讀材料主旨和大意的把握”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 首先快速通讀全文(注意主題句)，可知文章主要談?wù)摰氖?ldquo;創(chuàng)造力的含義及其三個方面的表現(xiàn)”，整篇文章都是圍繞創(chuàng)造力展開的。現(xiàn)在來分析選項。A項意為 “如何培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造力”，初看符合文章內(nèi)容，但仔細(xì)分析，文章只在最后一段提到了培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造力三個方面的途徑和要求，所以不能選�？碆項“什么是創(chuàng)造力”，這個題目下可寫和創(chuàng)造力有關(guān)的許多東西如創(chuàng)造力定義，表現(xiàn)及培養(yǎng)途徑，所以有道理。再看C項“創(chuàng)造力的重要性”，文章沒有提及。而D項“創(chuàng)造力離我們并不遙 遠(yuǎn)”，也只是文章開頭提到，中間涉及一點，也不確切。這樣就可確定，B項為正確答案。

本文主要談?wù)撝忻澜逃绞降牟顒e。(以一個赴美訪問學(xué)習(xí)者的眼光)作者談到美國教授在上課時能夠扮演與學(xué)生平等的角色，與學(xué)生進(jìn)行平等的討論交流;而中國學(xué)生與教師之間的關(guān)系總是“學(xué)習(xí)者與權(quán)威”的關(guān)系。這樣的結(jié)果，中國學(xué)生都被培養(yǎng)成了一個模式;而美國學(xué)生卻擁有了獨立分析解決問題的能力，在踏上社會時，也更具謀生能力。作者對中國教育的弊端進(jìn)行了委婉的批評。
31.答案D。
【參考譯文】 在美國課堂上學(xué)生的經(jīng)常表現(xiàn)是什么?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“對文章某些細(xì)節(jié)的理解”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 在文章中找到有關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)為解此題的關(guān)鍵。從文章第一段的最后兩句可得知“中國留學(xué)生在課堂上表現(xiàn)很有禮貌和節(jié)制，而美國學(xué)生則非常主動和活躍。”據(jù)此，A 項說“中國學(xué)生在課堂上表現(xiàn)很活躍”，則正好與事實相反，故排除。看B項“美國學(xué)生喜歡搗亂”。雖然作者在第一段倒數(shù)第二句提到“美國學(xué)生有時甚至控制課 堂討論”，但這并不說明他們故意搗亂，而是表現(xiàn)積極活躍的一種方式。所以也不對。而C項說“學(xué)生喜歡為難老師”，顯然也只是字面理解，與B項判斷犯同樣錯 誤，故也不對。最后看D項“美國學(xué)生經(jīng)常表現(xiàn)得非�；钴S”，正是我們與作者得出的結(jié)論，所以是選項無疑。解答此題也給了我們一個啟示：某些干擾項迷惑性很大，不能一眼識別，所以在選擇時可能需要進(jìn)行反復(fù)比較思考，方能斷定其正確與否。我們要記住這一點。
32.答案A。
【參考譯文】 美國教師在回答問題時更表現(xiàn)得……
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“對文章某些段落把握”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 文章第二段是解答問題的關(guān)鍵。此段主要談?wù)?ldquo;美國教授在上課時扮演的是與學(xué)生平等的角色”，并介紹了“這種情況的種種表現(xiàn)”�，F(xiàn)在，我們來看選項。A項 “非常誠懇”，符合事實，先標(biāo)出，看有沒有更合適的。B項“非常直接”，顯然不對，即使美國老師語氣委婉，也只是“不直接”。C項意為“非常自信”，文章 沒有提到這一點，也不能選。再看D項“非常冷淡”，更是荒謬。這樣也就只能選A。
33.答案C。
【參考譯文】 作者如何評價中美教育方式的差異?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“理解作者觀點”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 解答此類題目，首先也必須象解答“有關(guān)文章主要內(nèi)容題目”一樣，首先應(yīng)掌握全文的主旨和大意，據(jù)此才能在理解作者觀點時，不致管中窺豹，以致偏頗。迅速通讀全文，可知作者意在抨擊中國教育方式的弊端。這樣，作者的觀點也就昭然若揭了�，F(xiàn)在看選項。A項“中國教育方式能傳授更多知識”。這或許可能，但文中沒 提，故不能選，而且作者也不可能將這樣的話寫入文中，自相矛盾。所以A項排除。看B項“中國教育方式集中在如何提高學(xué)生記憶力上”，文中沒有提及，而且顯 然也太片面。作者只在課文最后一段暗示中國式考試偏重于考查學(xué)生記憶力。所以也不能選。再看C項“美國教育重在培養(yǎng)學(xué)生能力”。作者在對中國教育抨擊的同時，也對美國教育的某些做法表示贊成，而這一點正是作者對美國教育考查后得出的結(jié)論之一，所以正確。至此就可排除D項。而實際上D項說“美國教師討厭考 試”，與文章無關(guān)，所以也不能選。
34.答案D。
【參考譯文】 (中美相比)作者認(rèn)為學(xué)生與教師間的關(guān)系……
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“根據(jù)所讀材料進(jìn)行推斷”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 推理(斷)題屬于要求較高的題型。它要求學(xué)生不僅能正確理解文章(或某些細(xì)節(jié))，也要能據(jù)此進(jìn)一步推測其中暗含的意思。先看短文，特別注意第一段和第二段�，F(xiàn)在再來逐個分析選項。A項說“中國師生關(guān)系更密切”，是否如此?老師是權(quán)威，表面上可以更有力控制學(xué)生，但學(xué)生從心目中肯定是對教師敬而遠(yuǎn)之的，所以這種看法是表面上的，不正確。B項說“中國師生關(guān)系更近”，與A項意近，也不能選。注意這兩個選項的迷惑性 。再看C項說“美國師生之間關(guān)系松散”。平等交流，并不等于松散，最多只能是和諧，所以也不能選。再看D項說“美國師生之間關(guān)系和諧”，正合作者的看法，所以只能選D。
35.答案C。
【參考譯文】 美國教育方法可能培養(yǎng)出什么樣的學(xué)生?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“根據(jù)所讀材料進(jìn)行推斷”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 此題的問題太寬泛，只能根據(jù)選項，結(jié)合文章，進(jìn)行取舍。A項意為“健談的”，正確嗎?學(xué)生上課積極主動，能鍛煉口才和外向性格，但是否有點片面，先標(biāo)出。再看B項“默守成規(guī)的”，肯定不對，此項更符合中國學(xué)生。而C項是“具有創(chuàng)造力的”，美國平等式的、自由、寬松的教育方式，鼓勵學(xué)生培養(yǎng)獨立分析、解決問題的能力，這樣培養(yǎng)出來的學(xué)生勢必多具有“創(chuàng)造力”，符合事實。再看D項，“具有想象力的”。美國學(xué)生更具有實干精神，所以也不對。這樣只剩下A和C選 項，兩者相比，C項更準(zhǔn)確，所以選項為C。
短文大意
本文主要介紹美國網(wǎng)上課程的現(xiàn)況及其特點。美國目前已有大約400所院校在網(wǎng)上提供部分課程。網(wǎng)上教學(xué)與傳統(tǒng)教育方式相比，花費及作業(yè)與讀書任務(wù)都類似，但課堂參與方式不同，學(xué)生們在網(wǎng)上與教授探討問題，在網(wǎng)上學(xué)習(xí)課程，通過發(fā)布e?mail交書面作業(yè)，在網(wǎng)上參加考試。作者還提到網(wǎng)上最受歡 迎的課程是商業(yè)管理及信息技術(shù)方面的課程。同時網(wǎng)上也開設(shè)許多文科方面的課程。最后作者又提到網(wǎng)上課程對于工作繁忙的人最有利。
36.答案C。
【參考譯文】 一般來說，網(wǎng)上教育的花費……
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“查找材料中某些事實”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 “ 事實查找題”屬于比較簡單的題型，只要找到事實，在解題時再注意到某些同義表達(dá)法，問題便可迎刃而解。此題的答案可在文章第一段最后一句找到。此句話說到 “網(wǎng)上教育所花費的錢與傳統(tǒng)的方式一樣”，這樣就可采取排除法進(jìn)行選取了。A項說“多于傳統(tǒng)”，B項說“少于傳統(tǒng)”，皆可一眼排除。D項說“作者沒有提 及”，也不對。而C項說“與傳統(tǒng)一樣”，正是文章的事實。所以可確定，C項為正確答案。
37.答案C。
【參考譯文】 接受網(wǎng)上課程的學(xué)生交作業(yè)的主要方式是……
【試題分析】 此題主要考查學(xué)生“查找材料中某些事實”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 解答方法與36題類似，可在文章第二段第二句中找到有關(guān)事實，通過電子郵件來交書面作業(yè)。這樣就可排除A“親自去交”。而其它三項中兩個干擾項都具有一定 的迷惑性，須逐個分析。先看B項“郵寄它們”，有歧義，雖然文章中確有這種表達(dá)。先標(biāo)出，看有沒有更合適的。而C項剛好為“通過電子郵件交作業(yè)”，正是準(zhǔn)確無誤的事實，所以也可排除B項。最后看D項“讓老師進(jìn)入學(xué)生的個人主頁”，文中沒有這樣的說法。這樣就可斷定C為正確答案。
38.答案B。
【參考譯文】 網(wǎng)上的哪些課程可能不受大多數(shù)學(xué)生的青睞?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“根據(jù)材料進(jìn)行推斷”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 據(jù)文章第二段第四句可知，最受歡迎的課程是商業(yè)管理及信息技術(shù)。這樣就可來進(jìn)行判斷：那些不屬于這兩類的課程應(yīng)當(dāng)是選項。先看A項“軟件開發(fā)”，屬于此兩類，所以不能選。而B項“裝璜設(shè)計”，屬于工藝美術(shù)方面，不在此列，應(yīng)為選項，也就不必再看C、D項。而C項“國際貿(mào)易”，D項“企業(yè)管理”，也屬于上述 兩類范圍，故也應(yīng)排除。
39.答案A。
【參考譯文】 “Ivy League”最可能的含義是什么?
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“根據(jù)上下文推測生詞(組)含義”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 解答此類題的關(guān)鍵是讀懂“生詞(組)”所在句子的含義，也就是理解上下文，在此基礎(chǔ)上，才能確定生詞(組)的確切或最接近的含義。此題目中“Ivy League”所在一句是第二段最后一句。我們可看到“Ivy League”緊跟“degree”(學(xué)位)一詞，所以可推斷此詞組肯定與大學(xué)(或研究院)有關(guān)，因為只有這些機(jī)構(gòu)才有權(quán)授予學(xué)位。再進(jìn)行分析，“Ivy ”后有“League”(聯(lián)盟、聯(lián)合會)一詞，可推測此詞組可能是“大學(xué)(或研究院)聯(lián)合會”或“聯(lián)合會大學(xué)(或研究院)。這樣就可排除C項“美國著名的企業(yè)聯(lián)合會”。接下來再分析，網(wǎng)上學(xué)生仍不能得到“Ivy League”的學(xué)位，暗示此類大學(xué)(研究院)是很著名的，同時也可從下面的轉(zhuǎn)折詞“but”引出的內(nèi)容：斯坦福大學(xué)等著名大學(xué)也在網(wǎng)上設(shè)立課程，得以進(jìn) 一步確證�，F(xiàn)在再來看選項。B項說“美國著名商學(xué)院”中概括得又太具體，范圍太窄，D項“美國歷史悠久的大學(xué)”又太籠統(tǒng)。A項“美國著名的大學(xué)”為最佳選擇。如果對教育背景有所了解的話，也可以知道“Ivy”就是美國名牌大學(xué)的代稱，這樣就可選A。
40.答案D。
【參考譯文】 (根據(jù)文章)可以推斷……
【試題分析】 此題考查學(xué)生“根據(jù)材料進(jìn)行推斷”的能力。
【詳細(xì)解答】 解答此題首先要掌握文章的主旨大意，并理解某些細(xì)節(jié)，在此基礎(chǔ)上，再進(jìn)行取舍�，F(xiàn)在我們來看四個選項。A項說“網(wǎng)上教育很快就會取代傳統(tǒng)教育。”文中沒有 提到，根據(jù)內(nèi)容也無法推斷，所以舍棄。B項“直到現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上課程的數(shù)量也只是寥寥無幾。”也不正確，因為第三段說“能在網(wǎng)上找到各種各樣的文科課程”。再看 C項“一個人不需要參加考試就可拿到學(xué)位”。從第二段第二句可知，這種認(rèn)識是錯誤的�，F(xiàn)在只剩下D項，應(yīng)該是選項。而其內(nèi)容“一個人通過遠(yuǎn)程教育不能獲得 紐約大學(xué)的學(xué)位。”根據(jù)第二段最后一句也可以推斷出，這種看法是正確的。故D為正確選項無疑。
Part Ⅲ
41.答案A。
【參考譯文】 不論商業(yè)的規(guī)模性質(zhì)如何，其主要目標(biāo)是獲利。
【試題分析】 此題為語法題，考學(xué)生對連詞的掌握。
【詳細(xì)解答】 Whatever無論什么，相當(dāng)于no matter what: Whatever difficulty we might meet with we will carry out our plan.不論遇到什么困難，我們也會完成計劃。B.Whichever無論哪一個，它與whatever的區(qū)別在于whichever指提供選擇中的無 論哪一個，而whatever在沒有提供選擇時用，如：Take whichever of the three paintings you like best.這三幅畫中你最喜歡哪一幅就拿哪一幅。C. Whereas鑒于;而，卻;多用于比較結(jié)構(gòu)中。如：Some people like tea, whereas others like coffee.一些人喜歡喝茶而另一些人則喜歡喝咖啡。
42.答案C。
【參考譯文】 到目前為止你應(yīng)該把一切都準(zhǔn)備好了。
【試題分析】 此題考動詞搭配。
【詳細(xì)解答】 be supposed后要接不定式，即be supposed to do sth. 表示“應(yīng)該……”。此句中“by now”表示動作應(yīng)已完成，所以不定式要用完成時態(tài)，故C為正確答案。
43.答案A。
【參考譯文】 這位足球運動員正希望能轉(zhuǎn)到另一家俱樂部。
【試題分析】 此題為近義詞辨析題。
【詞義辨析】 transfer轉(zhuǎn)移，調(diào)(往)，可以指工作崗位的調(diào)動或?qū)W習(xí)專業(yè)的轉(zhuǎn)換：transfer to the branch bank調(diào)到分行。B. transmit傳播，播送(節(jié)目)：transmit the radio waves傳送無線電波。C. transform把……變?yōu)椋淖儯簍ransform sunlight to solar energy把陽光轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)樘柲�。D. transport運輸、運送：transport these goods to Shanghai把貨物運到上海。
