Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at treesand bushes. After an hour s flight, one of the scientists wrote in his book, "Look here for probable metal. " Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain area, sent a message to other scientists on the ground, "Gold possible. " Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported,"This ground should be searched for metal. " From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientistsent back by radio one word: "Uranium. "
None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic power of looking down below theearth s surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals inthe ground... trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on whichthe trees and plants are growing.
This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in theearth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow in the surface.
At Watson Bar Greek, a brook(小溪) six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with smallbranches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefullymarked. In a scientific laboratory, the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested.Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.
Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts ofgold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to thetree trunks had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.
26. Scientists were flying over a desert or a hilly wasteland or .a mountain area in order tosearch forin the ground.

The most frightening words in the English language are, "Our computer is down. " You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, "I m sorry, I can t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down. "
"If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket. "
"I can t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so. "
I looked down on the computer and every passenger .was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do?"
"We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not. "
"So when it goes down, you go down with it. "
"That s good, sir. "
"How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.
"I have no idea. Sometimes it s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it s down it won t answer us. "
After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said. "Let s forget the computer. What about your planes? They re still flying, arent they?"
"I couldnt tell without asking the computer. "
"Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he s flying to Washington," I suggested.
"I wouldnt know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldnt take you if you didnt have a ticket. "
"Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?"
"I wouldnt know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only IT knows. It can t tell me. "
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white; some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
31. The best title for the article is
A. When the Computer Is Down

A. She could sell a ticket.
B. She could write out a ticket.
C. She could answer the passengers questions.
D. She could do nothing.
33. why do you think they had not a backup computer?
A. Because it was easy down.

參考譯文
坐著飛機(jī)飛過一片沙漠之地，兩位科學(xué)家用訓(xùn)練有素的眼睛察看下面的樹木和灌木叢。經(jīng)過大致一小時(shí)的飛行觀察后，其中一位科學(xué)家在他的本子上寫下這樣一句話“看這里可能有金屬礦藏�！绷硪患茱w機(jī)上的科學(xué)家們正飛過一座山區(qū)。他們給地面觀察站的科學(xué)家們發(fā)了“可能有金礦”的信息。步行越過山地，四名科學(xué)家得出報(bào)告：“應(yīng)該在此地尋找金屬礦藏”。從飛過多山丘的荒原的飛機(jī)上，一位科學(xué)家用無線電發(fā)回一個(gè)字：“鈾”。
沒有一個(gè)科學(xué)家具有x射線那樣的眼睛：他們并沒有看透地球表面的魔力。他們僅僅使用了一個(gè)最新的技術(shù)來定位地下的礦藏…樹木和植被長(zhǎng)在地上，通過他們能顯示出某種埋藏在地下的礦物。
這項(xiàng)最新的尋找礦藏的技術(shù)是依據(jù)這樣一個(gè)事實(shí)，即處在地下的礦物會(huì)影響到地面上灌木和樹木的生長(zhǎng)。
沃森巴溪是加拿大英屬哥倫比亞一座6，000英尺的山上的一條小溪。一隊(duì)礦藏搜索小組收集了許多包樹木的種子;盒子里盛滿了小樹枝。樹根也被挖掉放進(jìn)盒子里。每個(gè)包和盒子都被仔細(xì)標(biāo)記了。在科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)室內(nèi)，樹枝被燒成灰然后做檢測(cè)。檢查每個(gè)細(xì)小的部分是否含有礦藏。
對(duì)樹根、樹枝和種子的檢測(cè)并沒發(fā)現(xiàn)銀元素，但卻在樹根部發(fā)現(xiàn)了部分金元素，同時(shí)在樹枝和種子中也發(fā)現(xiàn)了較少的金元素。長(zhǎng)在最接近樹干上的種子要比長(zhǎng)在樹枝根部的種子含金元素多一些。
答案及解析
26.D【解析】語義理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段的內(nèi)容提到各種金屬，而這些金屬元素是包含在礦(mineral)里的。故本題選擇D。
27.c【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。從文中最后一句“The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunks had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.”(長(zhǎng)在最接近樹干上的種子比長(zhǎng)在樹枝根部的種子要含有更多的金元素)可知答案。故本題選擇c。
28.D【解析】主旨題。通讀全文可知文章的大部分(第二至五段)都在講述通過植物來尋找礦藏。故本題選擇D。
29.A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。從最后一段可知，通過研究roots，branches和 seeds可判定地下是否有礦產(chǎn)，而leaves在文章中卻沒有提到。故本題選擇A。
30.D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章第一段的第一句“two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes”(兩位科學(xué)家用受過訓(xùn)練的眼睛觀察樹木和灌木)可知答案。故本題選擇D。

參考譯文
英語中最令人恐懼的句子是：“我們的電腦宕機(jī)了。”在出差的時(shí)候，這樣的消息你聽到的越來越多。前幾天我在機(jī)場(chǎng)排隊(duì)買去華盛頓的票。售票窗口的女孩說：“對(duì)不起，我們現(xiàn)在不能賣票。我們的電腦宕機(jī)了�！薄耙请娔X壞了，你就給我填一張票吧�！�
“我無法給你填票。我們只能用電腦出票。”
我看著那臺(tái)電腦。乘客們都站在那里，喝著咖啡，盯著那已黑了的屏幕。然后我問她：“你們這些人都是干什么的?”
“我們把你旅途的信息輸入電腦，然后它就會(huì)顯示是否有合適你的航班。”
“所以要是電腦宕機(jī)了，你們就什么都不能干了�！�
“是的。先生�！�
“電腦宕機(jī)要持續(xù)多久?”我問道。
“我不清楚。有時(shí)十分鐘，有時(shí)兩個(gè)小時(shí)。要是不Pl電腦我們什么信息都不知道。既然現(xiàn)在它宕機(jī)了，它就不會(huì)回應(yīng)我們了�！�
從女孩那里得知沒有備用電腦后，我說：“我們先別管電腦這事。你們的飛機(jī)呢?它們還在飛，是嗎?”
“沒有電腦，我就無法回答你�！�
“或許我可以去大門那問飛行員是否要飛往華盛頓。”我暗示道。
“我不知道讓你去哪個(gè)門找他。即使飛行員飛往華盛頓，要是沒有機(jī)票.他也不會(huì)讓你登機(jī)�！�
“接下來的幾個(gè)小時(shí)還有其他去華盛頓的航班嗎?”
“我無法回答你，”她說著，順便指指那黑了的屏幕，“只有‘它知道.而它現(xiàn)在無法告訴我�！�
現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)沒多少人排隊(duì)了。電腦宕機(jī)的消息迅速傳到了其他旅行者那里。一些人驚得臉都白了，有一些人開始大叫，還有一些人憤怒地踢他們的行李。
答案及解析
31.A【解析】主旨題。根據(jù)文章第一句中的“0ur computer is down”(我們的電腦宕機(jī)了)及后面的文章關(guān)于機(jī)場(chǎng)電腦宕機(jī)后的一些對(duì)話內(nèi)容可知，文章主要講述的是機(jī)場(chǎng)電腦宕機(jī)后發(fā)生的一些事情，故本題選擇A。
32.D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章中的對(duì)話“When it[computer]goes down.you go down with it.”(若電腦宕機(jī)了，你們也工作不了 了。)可知，機(jī)場(chǎng)售票員什么都不能做。故本題選擇D。
33.B【解析】主觀題。沒有備用電腦，最有可能是因?yàn)樵O(shè)備比較貴。故本題選擇B。
34.C【解析】推斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的描述：電腦死機(jī)，旅客們感到恐懼、憂郁、不安，故本題選擇C。
35.B 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。文中第四段第一句“every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen.”(乘客們站在那兒，喝著咖啡，眼睛盯著那個(gè)黑掉了的屏幕)。故本題選擇B。

Pepys and his wife Jane had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2nd, 1666. They were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow(微弱的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 oclock on the Sunday moning, its glow had become so bright that Jane woke her husband to watch .it. Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown and went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, and after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked, though the fire was dying down, as though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them.
While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard the fire was a bad one; hundreds of houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed upon a high part of the build- ing so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The man of the Tower told him that the fire had started in a bakers shop in Pudding Lane(小巷) ; the bakers house had caught fire from the over-beated oven(烤箱)and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, as it is said, at Pie Corner.
27. What is the passage about?
A. The Great Fire of London.
B. Who was the first to discover the fire.
C. What Pepys was doing during the fire.
D. The losses caused by the fire.
28.They were up very late because______.
A. it was Sunday morning
B. they were not very sleepy
C. they were preparing for the dinner
D. they saw the great fire start
29. In the sentence" Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown. "" slip on" means________.
A. to be wearing
B. to be pushing
C.to take off
D.to put on
30. Why did the flames spread quickly?
A. The oven became very hot.
B. The houses were close together.
C. The baker did nothing to stop it.
D. The bakers house was burning quickly.

篇章分析
本文是一篇記敘文，講述了l666年在倫敦發(fā)生的一場(chǎng)大火。文章從一對(duì)夫婦Pepys和Jane的經(jīng)歷寫這場(chǎng)大火。由于這對(duì)夫婦家離大火發(fā)生處很遠(yuǎn)，因此開始時(shí)只能看到微弱的火光。第二天早上妻子Jane告訴丈夫發(fā)生了大火，并且燒毀了很多房子.而大火還在燃燒。Pepys于是找一個(gè)高點(diǎn)觀望，看到很多房子被燒毀。大火是由一個(gè)面包師的烤箱起火引起的0t
答案及解析
27.A
【題型】主旨題
【解析】通過對(duì)文章的分析，可知本文記敘了倫敦的大火。而B、C、D三項(xiàng)文中只是提到，而非文章主旨，故不能選擇。
28.C
【題型】細(xì)節(jié)題
【解析】題干問“他們晚上待到很晚是為了_______”。由第一段第二句They were up very late on the Saturday evening，getting everything readyfor the next day…可知是為第二天的宴會(huì)做準(zhǔn)備。
29.D
【題型】語義題
【解析】由下文…and went to the window to watch it.可知要去窗戶那兒看火光，要穿上睡衣才行。to be wearing表示穿著的狀態(tài);to takeoff“脫下”;to be pushing“正在推”，均不符合文義。
30.B
【題型】推斷題
【解析】題干問“大火為什么迅速蔓延?”由文章第二段倒數(shù)第二句…and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrowlane.中的“narrow lane”可推知，這是一個(gè)狹窄的小巷，房子一定挨得很緊。

Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’
The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.
Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.
We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!
Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch, match and dispatch’ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘a(chǎn)gony’ column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!
1. What is main idea of this passage?
A. Advertisement.
B. The benefits of advertisement.
C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.
D. The costs of advertisement.
2. The attitude of the author toward advertisers is
A. appreciative.
B. trustworthy.
C. critical.
D. dissatisfactory.
3. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?
A. Because advertisers often brag.
B. Because critics think advertisement is a “waste of money”.
C. Because customers are encouraged to buy more than necessary.
D. Because customers pay more.
4. Which of the following is Not True?
A. Advertisement makes contribution to our pockets and we may know everything.
B. We can buy what we want.
C. Good quality products don’t need to be advertised.
D. Advertisement makes our life colorful.
5. The passage is
A. Narration.
B. Description.
C. Criticism.

【參考譯文】廣告商總是雄心勃勃(想得很大)，也許這就是為什么他們老挨批評(píng)。
2.Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion.
【參考譯文】他們的批評(píng)者似乎對(duì)他們很氣憤，因?yàn)樗麄冊(cè)谧晕姨Ц?標(biāo)榜上很有天分。
3.No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offer such deep insight into human nature.
【參考譯文】報(bào)紙任何其他欄目都難以提供如此有趣的文章，或提供對(duì)人性的內(nèi)涵如此深刻的洞察。
4.It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is.
【參考譯文】這是廣告中最佳的廣告。
寫作方法與文章大意
文章以因果、對(duì)比的手法寫出有沒有廣告的后果及廣告的真正作用。文章首先指出廣告商遭批評(píng)的原因：廣告商夸大和人們認(rèn)為廣告浪費(fèi)錢財(cái)、商品價(jià)格就搞;然后作者以有無廣告的后果突出其功能，沒有廣告，商品價(jià)更高，生活單調(diào)、乏味。有了廣告，商品價(jià)低，生活豐富多彩，人們獲取各種信息。
答案詳解
1.C. 廣告對(duì)社會(huì)的服務(wù)很有用。作者從三方面來敘述廣告作用：第二段點(diǎn)出如果廣告不為產(chǎn)品開辟廣大的市場(chǎng)，我們就得付出很多錢，正是因?yàn)榇罅康膹V告費(fèi)用，消費(fèi)者的商品才會(huì)那么便宜。廣告除銷售商品外，其重要的功能在通知/告訴信息，有關(guān)家用商品的許多只是來自廣告，還有新產(chǎn)品的介紹。第三段講了美化環(huán)境功能。如果火車站的墻上和報(bào)上沒有廣告，那會(huì)怎么樣。一幅悅?cè)诵哪�，機(jī)智的廣告將改變一切。第四段講了它為我們省錢：別忘了廣告對(duì)我們口袋作出積極的貢獻(xiàn)。報(bào)紙、電臺(tái)、電視臺(tái)公司沒有這筆收入很難生存。我們的報(bào)紙，我們付給很少，或者說，我們能享受那么多的節(jié)目完全是因?yàn)閺V告商花的錢。如果要我們付報(bào)紙的全價(jià)，那我們要花多少錢!最后一段講了各種專欄的功能。人們可以在這些欄目找工作、買賣房子、宣布婚喪嫁娶信息。這些都圍著一個(gè)中心：廣告對(duì)社會(huì)服務(wù)的有用性。
A. 廣告。太籠統(tǒng)。
B. 廣告之優(yōu)點(diǎn)。文章不是講優(yōu)點(diǎn)，而是講服務(wù)于社會(huì)的功能。
D. 廣告費(fèi)用。
2.A. 欣賞/贊賞。從上述注釋也可推知是A項(xiàng)。最重要的，作者提出種種功能，是為了反駁第一段內(nèi)提到的論點(diǎn)：完全是非生產(chǎn)企業(yè)每年吸收幾百萬鎊，這說明這些大公司利潤(rùn)有多高。最重要的是消費(fèi)者付的廣告費(fèi)等。反駁更說明了A項(xiàng)對(duì)。
B. 值得信任。
C. 批評(píng)。
D. 不滿意。
3.A. 因?yàn)閺V告商常常愛吹。見難句譯注1.。
B. 因?yàn)榕u(píng)者認(rèn)為廣告浪費(fèi)錢。
C. 因?yàn)閺V告促使消費(fèi)者購買不必要的東西。
D. 因?yàn)橄M(fèi)者支付更多。
4. C. 優(yōu)質(zhì)產(chǎn)品不需要廣告。一切產(chǎn)品都需要廣告，新產(chǎn)品、老產(chǎn)品都需要。
A. 廣告對(duì)我們的口袋作出貢獻(xiàn)。
B. 我們可以買到我們所需的。
D. 廣告使我們生活豐富多彩。這三條都提到也是真實(shí)的。
5. C. 文章一開始就提到對(duì)廣告的批評(píng)，然后作者以對(duì)比的手法說明其功能。
A. 敘事。
B. 描寫。
D. 議論。
