Text 1
As long as her parents can remember, 13-year-old Katie Hart has been talking about going to college. Her mother, Tally, a financial-aid officer at a California University, knows all too well the daunting thing of paying for a college education. Last year the average yearly tuition at a private, four-year school climbed 5.5 percent to more than $17, 000. The Harts have started saving, and figure they can afford a public university without a problem. But what if Katie applies to Princeton ( she' s threatening), where one year' s tuition, room and board-almost $ 34, 000 in 2007-will cost more than some luxury cars? Even a number cruncher like Tally admits it' s a little scary, especially since she' 11 retire and Katie will go to college at around the same time.
Paying for college has always been a hard endeavor. The good news: last year students collected $ 74 billion in financial aid, the most ever. Most families pay less than full freight. Sixty percent of public-university students and three quarters of those at private colleges receive some form of financial aid-mostly, these days, in the form of loans. But those numbers are not as encouraging as they appear for lower-income families, because schools are changing their formulas for distributing aid. Eager to boost their magazine rankings, which are based in part on the test scores of entering freshmen, they' re throwing more aid at smarter kids--whether they need it or not.
The best way to prepare is to start saving early. A new law passed last year makes that easier for some families. So-called 529 plans allow parents to sock away funds in federal-tax-free-investment accounts, as long as the money is used for "qualified educaion expenses" like tuition, room and board. The plans aren' t for everyone. For tax reasons, some lower and middle income families may be better off choosing other investments. But saving is vital.
When' s the best time to start? "Sometime, " says Jack Joyce of the College Board, "between the maternity ward and middle school. "
Aid packages usually come in some combination of grants, loans and jobs. These days 60 percent of all aid comes in the form of low-interest loans. All students are eligible for "unsubsidized" federal Stafford loans, which let them defer interest payments until after graduation. Students who can demonstrate need can also qualify for federal Perkins loans or "subsidized" Staffords, where the government pays the interest during school. Fortunately, this is a borrower' s market. "Interest rates are at their lowest level in the history of student loans, " says Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Finaid. Kantrowitz expects rates to fall even further when they' re reviewed this summer.
Traditional scholarships, academic or athletic, are still a part of many families' planning. Mack Reiter, a 17-year-old national wrestling champion, gets so many recruiting letters he throws most away. He' 11 almost certainly get a free ride. Without it, "we would really be in a bind, " says his mother, Janet. For everyone else, it' s worth the effort to pick through' local .and national scholarship offerings, which can be found Ol—— Web sites like college-board, com.
51. What does the author intend to illustrate with the example of the Harts?
A. The difficulty of paying the tuition.
B. The far-sight of the parents.
C. The promising future of Katie.
D. The increasing tuition in the university.
52. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Some families are too poor to pay the full amount of the tuition.
B. The parents do not favor the form of loans.
C. Paying the tuition makes the parents feel humble.
D. Those who are in great need may not get what they need.
53. The last paragraph suggests that __
A. many recruiting letters failed to provide Mack Reiter with scholarships
B. Mack Reiter wanted to help his family go out of the trouble
C. traditional scholarships are a good solution to the tuition problems in some families
D. Mack Reiter was very proud of his national wrestling championship
54. What does the author mean by "better off" ( Line 4, Paragraph 3 ) ?
A. Richer.
B. Wiser.
C. Happier.
D. Luckier.
55. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. The Harts prefer a public university to a private one.
B. It is much easier to pay the tuition at present.
C. All students can get the aid package.
D .Traditional scholarships are still attractive to some families.
Text 2
It was late in the afternoon, and I was putting the final touch on a piece of writing that I was feeling pretty good about. I wanted to save it, but my cursor had frozen. I tried to shut the computer down, andit seized up altogether. Unsure of what else to do, I yanked (用力猛拉) the battery out:
Unfortunately, Windows had been in the midst of a delicate and crucial undertaking. The next morning, when I turned my computer back on, it informed me that a file had been corrupted and Windows would not load. Then, it offered to repair itself by using the Windows Setup CD.
I opened the special drawer where I keep CDs, but no Windows CD in there. I was forced to call the computer company' s Global Support Centre. My call was answered by a woman in.some unnamed, far-off land. I fred it annoying to make small talk with someone when I don' t know what continent they' re standing on. Suppose I were to comment on the beautiful weather we've been having when there was a monsoon at the otber end of the phone? So I got right to the point.
"My computer is telling me a file is corrupted and it wants to fix itself, but I don' t have the Windows Setup CD. "
"So you' re having a problem with your Windows Setup CD. " She has apparently been dozing and, having come to just as the sentence ended, was attempting to cover for her inattention.
It quickly became clear that the woman was not a computer technician. Her job was to serve as a gatekeeper, a human shield for the technicians. Her sole duty, as far as I could tell, was to raise global stress levels.
To make me disappear, the woman:gave me the phone number for Windows' creator, Microsoft. This is like giving someone the phone number for, I don' t know, North America. Besides, the CD worked; I just didn't have it. No matter how many times I repeated my story, we came back to the same place. She was calm and resolutely polite.
When my voice hit a certain decibel (分貝), I was passed along, like a hot, irritable potato, to a technician.
"You don' t have the Windows Setup CD, ma' am, because you don' t need it, " he explained cheerfully.
"Windows came preinstalled on your computer!"
"But I do need it. "
"Yes, but you don't have it. " We went on like this for a while. ,Finally, he offered to walk me through the use of a different CD, one that would erase my entire system. "Of course, you' d lose all your e-mail, your documents, your photos. " It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache. "You might be able to recover them, but it would be expensive. " He sounded delighted. "And it' s not coveted by the warranty ( 產(chǎn)品保證書) !" The safe began to seem like a good idea, provided it was full.
I hung up the phone and drove my computer to a small, friendly repair place I' d heard about. A smart, helpful man dug out a Windows CD and told me it wouldn't be a problem. An hour later, be called to let me know it was ready. I thanked him, and we chatted about the weather, which was the same outside my window as it was outside his.
56. Why did the author shut down her computer abruptly?
A. She had saved what she had written.
B. She couldn't move the cursor.
C. The computer refused to work.
D. The computer offered to repair itself.
57. Which of the following is the author' s opinion about the woman at the Global Support Centre?
A. She sounded helpful and knowledgeable.
B. She was there to make callers frustrated.
C. She was able to solve her computer problem. ,
D. She was quick to pass her along to a technician.
58. According to the passage, the solution offered by the technician was __
A. effective
B. economical
C. unpractical
D. unacceptable
59. "It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache" in the last but one paragraph means that
A. the technician's proposal would make things even worse
B. the technician' s proposal could eventually solve the problem
C. files stored on her computer were like a safe
D. erasing the entire system was like curing a headache
60. It can be inferred from the passage that the differences between the Global Support Centre and the local repair shop lie in all the following EXCEPT
A.efficiency
B. location
C. Setup CDs
D. attitude
Text 3
Women' s minds work differently from men' s. At least, that is what most men are convinced of. Psychologists view the subject either as a matter or frustration or a joke. Now the biologists have moved into this minefield, and some of them have found that there are real differences between the brains of men and women. But being different, they point out hurriedly, is not the same as being better or worse.
There is, however, a definite structural variation between the male and female brain. The difference is in a part of the brain that is used in the most complex intellectual processes-the link between the two halves of the brain.
The two halves are linked by a trunkline of between 200 and 300 million nerves, the corpus callosum. Scientists have found quite recently that the corpus callosum in women is always larger and probably richer in nerve fibers than it is in men. This is the first time that a structural difference has been found between the brains of women and men and it must have some significance. The question is “What?” and, if this difference exists, are there others? Research shows that present-day women think differently and behave differently from men. Are some of these differences biological and inborn, a result of evolution? We tend to think that is the influence of society that produces these differences. But could we be wrong?
Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions, and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together. For most people, the left half is used for wordhanding, analytical and logical activities; the right half works on pictures, patterns and forms. We need both halves working together. And the better the connections, the more harmoniously the two halves work. And, according to research findings, women have the better connections.
But it isn' t all that easy to explain the actual differences between skills of men and women on this basis. In schools throughout the world girls tend to be better than boys at "language subjects" and boys better at maths and physics. If these differences correspond with the differences in the hemispheric trunkline, there is an unalterable dis- tinction between the sexes.
We shah' t know for a while, partly because we don' t know of any precise relationship between abilities in school subject and the functioning of the two halves of the brain, and we cannot understand how the two halves inter-act via the corpus callosum. But this striking difference must have some effect and, because the difference is in the parts of the brain involved in intellect, we should be looking for differences in intellectual processing.
61. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. Biologists are conducting research where psychologists have given up.
B. Brain differences point to superiority of one sex over the other.
C. Results of scientific research fail to support popular belief.
D. The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known.
62. According to the passage it is commonly believed that brain differences are caused by __ factors.
A. biological B. psychological C. physical I D ] social
63. "these differences" in paragraph 5 refer to those in __
A. skills of men and women
B. school subjects
C. the brain structure of men and women
D. activities carried out by the brain
64. At the end of the passage the author proposes more work on __
A. the brain structure as a whole
B. the functioning of part of the brain
C. the distinction between the sexesE D] the effects of the corpus callosum
65. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To outline the research findings on the brain structure.
B. To explain the link between sex and brain structure.
C. To. discuss the various factors that cause brain differences.
D. To suggest new areas in brain research.

In the following article some paragraphs have been removed. For Questions 66 —— 70, choose the most suitable paragraph from the list A —— F to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There is one paragraph which "does not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, an estimated 10 to 50 million people in this country have an allergic reaction to poison ivy each year. Poison ivy is often very. difficult to spot. It closely resembles several other common garden plates, and can also blend in with other plants and weeds. But if you come into contact with it, you' II soon know by the itchy, blistery rash that forms on your skin. Poison ivy is a red, itchy rash caused by the plant that bears its name. Many people get it when they are hiking or working in their garden and accidentally come into direct contact with the plant' s leaves, roots, or stems. The poison ivy rash often looks like red lines, and sometimes it forms blisters.
About 85 percent of people are allergic to the urushiol in poison ivy, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Only a tiny amount of this chemical--1 billionth of a gram--is enough to cause a rash in many peo- ple. Some people may boast that they' ve been exposed to poison ivy many times and have never gotten the rash, but that doesn' t necessarily mean they' re not allergic. Sometimes the allergy doesn' t emerge until you' ve been ex- posed several times, and some people develop a rash after their very first exposure. It may take up to ten days for the rash to emerge the first time.
Here are some other ways to identify the poison ivy plant. It generally grows in a cluster of low, weed-like plants or a woody vine which can climb trees or fences. It is most often found in moist areas, such as riverbanks, woods, and pastures. The edges of the leaves are generally smooth or have tiny "teeth". Their color changes based on the season--reddish in the spring; green in the summer; and yellow, orange, or red in the fall. Its berries are typically white.
The body' s immune system is normally in the business of protecting us from bacteria, viruses, and the foreign invaders that can make us sick. But when urushiol from the poison ivy plant touches the skin, it instigates an immune response, called dermatitis, to what would otherwise be a harmless substance. Hay fever is another example of this type of response; in the case of hay fever, the immune system overreacts to pollen, or another plant-produced substance.
The allergic reaction to poison ivy is known as delayed hypersensitivity. Unlike immediate hypersensitivity, which causes an allergic reaction within minutes of exposure to an antigen, delayed hypersensitivity reactions don' t emerge for several hours or even days after the exposure.
In the places where your skin has come into contact with poison ivy leaves or urushiol, within one to two days you' 11 develop a rash, which will usually itch, redden, bum, swell, and form blisters. The rash should go away within a week, but it can last longer. The severity of the reaction often has to do with how much urushiol you've touched. The rash may appear sooner in some parts of the body than in others, but it doesn' t spread the urushiol simply absorbs into the skin at different rates in different parts of the body. Thicker skin such as the skin on the soles
A. Because urushiol is found in all parts of the poison ivy plant--the leaves, stems, and roots--it' s best to avoid the plant entirely to prevent a rash. The trouble is, poison ivy grows almost everywhere in the United States (with the exception of the Southwest, Alaska, and Hawaii), so geography won' t help you. The general rule to identify poison ivy, "leaflets three, let it be, " doesn' t always apply. Poison ivy usually does grow in groups of three leaves, with a longer middle leaf--but it can also grow with up to nine leaves in a group.
B. Most people don' t have a reaction the first time they touch poison ivy, but develop an allergic reaction after repeated exposure. Everyone has a different sensitivity, and therefore a slightly different reaction, to poison ivy. Sensitivity usually decreases with age and with repeat exposures to the plant.
C. Here' s how the poison ivy response occurs. Urushiol makes its way down through the skin, where it is metabolized, or broken down. Immune cells called T lymphocytes ( or T-cells) recognize the urushiol derivatives as a foreign substance, or antigen. They send out inflammatory signals called cytokines, which bring in white blood cells. Under orders from the cytokines, these white blood cells turn into macrophages. The macrophages eat foreign substances, but in doing so they also damage normal tissue, resulting in the skin inflammation that occurs with poison ivy.
D. Poison ivy' s cousins, poison oak and poison sumac, each have their own unique appearance. Poison oak grows as a shrub (one to six feet tall). It is typically found along the West Coast and in the South, in dry reas such fields, woodlands, and thickets. Like poison ivy, the leaves of poison oak are usually clustered in groups of three. They tend to be thick, green, and hairy on both sides. Poison sumac mainly grows in moist, swampy areas in the Northeast, Midwest, and along the Mississippi River. It is a woody shrub made up of stems with rows of seven to thirteen smooth-edged leaflets.
E. The culprit behind the rash is a chemical in the sap of poison ivy plants called umshiol. Its name comes from the Japanese word "urushi, " meaning lacquer. Urushiol is the same substance that triggers an allergic reaction when people touch poison oak and poison sumac plants. Poison ivy, Eastern poison oak, Western poison oak, and poison sumac are all members of the same family--Anacardiaceae.
F. Call your doctor if you experience these more serious reactions :
Pus around the rash (which could indicate an infection).
A rash around your mouth, eyes, or genital area.
A fever above 100 degrees.
A rash that does not heal after a week.
Part C
Answer Questions 71 -80 by referring to the following book reviews.
Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1. Some choicesmay be required more than once.
A = BOOK REVIEW 1B = BOOK REVIEW 2
C = BOOK REVIEW 3D = BOOK REVIEW 4
Which book review(s) contain(s) the following information?
A. The main point of the book is simple : globalization is not helping many poor countries. Incomes are not ris- ing in much of the world, and adoption of market-based policies such as open capital markets, free trade.
and privatization are makirlg developing economies less stable, not more. Instead of a bigger dose of free markets, Stiglitz argues, what' s needed to make globalization work better is more and smarter government intervention. While this has 'been said before, the ideas carry more weight coming from someone With Stiglitz's credentials. In some ways, this book ha—— the potential to be the liberal equivalent of Milton Friedman'S 1962 classic Capitalism and Freedom, which helped provide the intellectual foundafion for a generation of conservatives. But Giobalization and Its Discontents does not rise to the level of capitalism and freedom. While Stiglitz makes a strong case for govern- ment-oriented development policy, he ignores some key arguments in favor of the market. "The book' s main villain is the International Monetary Fund, the Washington organization that lends to troubled countries", Stiglitz' con- tempt for the IMF is boundless, "It is clear that the IMF has failed in its mission, " he declares. "Many of the poli- cies that the IMF pushed have contributed to global instability. "
B .While parts of this book are disappointingly shallow, Stiglitz' s critique of the market-driven 90' s s011 reso- hates; especially when the business page is full of stories about white-collar crime and the stock market
seems stuck in a perpetual rut. Even the United States cannot blithely assume that financial markets will work on au- topilot. It is testament to the salience of Stiglitz' s arguments that many economists--even some Bush Administration officials--now embrace his view that economic change in the developing word must evolve more with local condi- tions, not on Washington' s calendar. Without a thorough makeover, globalization could easily become a quagmire. Stiglitz shared a Nobel Prize last year for his work analyzing the imperfections of markets. His main c——omplaint a- gainst Rubin and Summers, who served as Treasury Secretaries, and against Fischer, the NO. 2 official and de facto chief executive of the international Monetary Fund, is that they had too much faith that markets could transform poor countries overnight. He labels these three men market fundamentalists, who fought tO maintain financial stability with the same urgency that an earlier generation struggled to contain communism. Worse, he suggests, they shilled for Wall Street, conflating the interests of the big banks with the financial health of the world.
C . "Stiglitz, 58, is hardly the first person to accuse the IMF of operating undemocratically and exacerbating T——ird World poverty. But he is by far the most prominent and his emergence as a critic marks an important
shift in the intellectual landscape. Only a few years ago, it was possible for pundits to claim that no mainstream e- conomist, certainly nobody of Stiglitz' s stature, took the criticism of free trade and globalization seriously. Such
claims are no longer credible, for Stiglitz is part of a small but growing group Of economists, sociologists and poliO- cal scientists, among them Dani Rodrik of Harvard and Robert Wade of the London School of Economics, who not
only take the critics seriously but warn that ignoring their concerns could have dire consequences. " Over the past several years, Stiglitz, a celebrated theorist who was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in economics for his work on asymmetric information, has grown accustomed to being at the center of controversy. From 1997 to 2000, he served as senior vice president and chief economist at the Word Bank--a tire that did not stop him from publicly criticizing the bank' s sister institution, the International Monetary Fund, Stiglitz' s outspokenness, unprecedented for a high- ranking insider, infuriated top officials at the IMF and US Treasury Department, and eventually led James Wolfen- sohn, the World Bank' s president, to inform him that he would have to mute his criticism or resign, Stiglitz chose to leave.
D . "Stiglitz' book makes a compelling case that simple-minded economic doctrine, inadequately tailored to the realities of developing countries, can do more harm than good, and that the subtleties of economic theory are actually quite important for sound policy advice, But simplistic political advice--give developing countries more voice and the institutions of global governance will be rendered more legitimate and efficient--is equally problemat- ic. Political reform is as subtle and.complex as economic reform. Evidently, the .best minds among us have only be- gun to think about it. " Joseph Stiglitz' s memoirs of his years in Washington, D. C. --first as chair of President blill Clinton' s Council of Economic Advisers and then as chief economist at the World Bank--have the flavor of a morality play: Our goodhearted but slightly native hero, on leave from Stanford University, sets out for the nation'
capital to serve his country and improve the lot of the developing world. Once there he finds a morass of political opportunism, ideologically motivated decision-making and bureaucratic inertia. Undeterred, he battles valiantly on behalf of impoverished nations against the unrelenting globalisers of the International Monetary Fund.

《禮節(jié)女孩：應(yīng)該懂得的事情》一書的合著者霍諾·歐文這樣說道：“身邊的小玩意兒越多，事情似乎就會(huì)變得越糟糕。”，“擁有很多小玩意兒只意味著你能夠隨時(shí)使用這些東西，并不代表你一天24小時(shí)一周七天都必須使用。”
思緯市場(chǎng)研究公司的最近一項(xiàng)調(diào)查顯示，1，000名受訪者中有70%的人認(rèn)為，相對(duì)于其他使用設(shè)備來說，在使用手機(jī)時(shí)人們表現(xiàn)出最差的禮儀。那么最壞的習(xí)慣是什么呢?根據(jù)美國的民意調(diào)查顯示。72%的人認(rèn)為最壞的習(xí)慣是在公共場(chǎng)所大聲電話交談，或“手機(jī)大聲叫喊”。
“人們隨時(shí)隨地都在使用手機(jī)，”歐文說。“看電影時(shí)請(qǐng)關(guān)掉手機(jī)。我不想付l0美元坐到一些同自己女朋友用手機(jī)聊天的家伙旁邊。”威斯康星大學(xué)麥迪遜分捩的弗里德蘭·來文教授說這種漫無禮節(jié)的行為破壞了公共空間秩序。他把這種缺乏禮節(jié)的行為稱作是一種無意識(shí)的粗暴，因?yàn)樵S多人并沒有意識(shí)到他們自己或者周圍的人在做什么。
“我認(rèn)為這種情況在飛機(jī)、火車或巴士上會(huì)很容易被察覺到。你違背自己的意志不想聽別人談話，”他說，“但是你可以聽到他們的叔叔的病情的細(xì)節(jié)，他們和戀人之閏出現(xiàn)的問題，以及他們的罪惡。”“他們占據(jù)的是公共的空閭，卻無意識(shí)的把其劃分為一個(gè)個(gè)小的私人空間。”

答案及解析
31.worse 【解析】“the+比較級(jí)，the+比較級(jí)”，意為“越…越…，”根據(jù)上下文，本句句意為“身邊的小玩意兒越多，事情似乎就會(huì)變得越糟糕。”所以此處應(yīng)填“worse”。
32.at 【解析】此題考固定搭配，at one’S disposal，意為“任某人自由支配、使喚”。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“at”。
33.poll 【解析】此句意為“Synovate市場(chǎng)研發(fā)公司的調(diào)查顯示”，poll的意思為“民意調(diào)查”。因此答案為“poll“。
34.found 【解析】此句意為“l，000名受訪者中有70%的發(fā)現(xiàn)，相對(duì)于其他設(shè)備來說，在使用手機(jī)時(shí)人們表現(xiàn)出最差的禮儀”，所以答案為“found”。
35.according【解析】according to為“依據(jù)”，為固定短語，意為“根據(jù)美國的民意調(diào)查”。所以此處填according。
36.them 【解析】本題考查代詞的用法，根據(jù)上下文，此處句意為“人們使用這些小玩意兒。”上文已經(jīng)提到gadgets，所以這里用代詞“them”代替。
37.off 【解析】turn off是“關(guān)掉”的意思，此題考查動(dòng)詞短語的用法，根據(jù)上下文語境，這里意思是“關(guān)掉你的手機(jī)”。所以用副詞“off”。
38.on 【解析】此題也考查介詞的用法，在電話中交談，一般用on the phone。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“on”。
39.at 【解析】某大學(xué)的教授，應(yīng)為“a professor at...university”，所以答案為介詞“at”。
40.calls 【解析】此句意為“他把這種缺乏禮節(jié)的行為稱作是一種無意識(shí)的無禮”。call+雙賓語結(jié)構(gòu)，以為“把…稱為”，所以此處填“calls”。
41.as 【解析】此處為因果關(guān)系，意為“因?yàn)樵S多人沒有…”，因此此處應(yīng)填連詞“as”。
42.aware 【解析】be aware of，固定搭配，意為“意識(shí)到”。所以此處應(yīng)填“aware”
43.where 【解析】此題考查where引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾前面提到的plane，train or bus。所以此處應(yīng)填關(guān)系副詞“where”。
44.to 【解析】be subjected to為固定搭配，“使遭受，使服從”的意思，要學(xué)會(huì)跨過其他成分尋找主干。所以此處應(yīng)填介詞“to”。
45.what 【解析】此題考查what引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。要注意分析句子中的成分，此空為listen to后的賓語。所以此處應(yīng)填引導(dǎo)詞“what”。
46.takes 【解析】要注意時(shí)態(tài)，這里意為“占據(jù)”，所以所以此處應(yīng)填“takes”
47.divide 【解析】根據(jù)上下文語境，這里是“分為”，divide...up into意為“把·一劃分為”。所以此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞“divide”。
48.were 【解析】考查被動(dòng)語態(tài)的用法，注意分析句子成分。所以此處應(yīng)填“were”。
49.comply 【解析】此處句意為“他們會(huì)很懊惱地服從”，表示服從，遵從的短語是comply with。所以此處應(yīng)填“comply”。
50.normal 【解析】根據(jù)上下文可以判斷此處句意為“很正常的事情”，因此此處應(yīng)填“normal”。

短文賞析
本文采用提出問題——分析問題的模式，指出支付高昂的大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)對(duì)很多家庭來說都有些力不從心，以及一些助學(xué)貸款及其他資助項(xiàng)目所起的作用。第一段提出問題，以哈特家為例，說明支付大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)對(duì)家庭造成的壓力;第二段指出大多數(shù)家庭支付大學(xué)學(xué)費(fèi)的方式以及存在的一些問題：第三段指出家庭存錢的作用;第四段指出資助項(xiàng)目的形式;第五段指出傳統(tǒng)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金的吸引力。
答案及解析
51.A【解析】原文對(duì)應(yīng)信息是：“Even...Tally admits it’S a little scary， especially since she’11 retire and Katie will go to college at around the same time.”意為“面l臨自己將要退休，同時(shí)孩子要上大學(xué)，這確實(shí)有點(diǎn)令人害怕。”我們可知Tally對(duì)支付自己女兒的學(xué)費(fèi)有點(diǎn)害怕。B、C、D均不是作者想要表達(dá)的原因。所以本題應(yīng)選A。
52.D【解析】原文對(duì)應(yīng)信息是：“Eager to boost their magazine rankings，which are based in part on the test scores of entering freshmen，they’re throwing mole aid at smarter kids--whether they need it or not.”該句話說明“學(xué)校為了提高其雜志排名，就在經(jīng)濟(jì)上給予那些比較聰明的孩子較大的幫助，不管他們需不需要幫助”。由此可以看出，急需幫助的學(xué)生并不一定就能獲得幫助。所以A、B、C均不符合題意。所以本題應(yīng)選D。
53.C【解析】原文對(duì)應(yīng)信息是：“Traditional scholarships，academic or athletic.are still a part of many families’planning.”意為“許多家庭還在依賴傳統(tǒng)的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金，不管是學(xué)習(xí)上的還是體育上的。”所以本題應(yīng)選C。
54.B 【解析】文中提到的方案有助于存錢，但這樣的方案并不適用于每一個(gè)人，然后給出了其中的一個(gè)原因，來說明對(duì)于低收入和中等收入的家庭來講，選擇其他投資方式會(huì)比這種方式好。由此可猜出詞義。所以本題應(yīng)選B。
55.D 【解析】選項(xiàng)A意思不準(zhǔn)確，文中提到公立大學(xué)和私立大學(xué)的學(xué)費(fèi)問題，但并沒有表明家長的態(tài)度和傾向;選項(xiàng)B意思不對(duì)，文中對(duì)應(yīng)信息是第二段;申請(qǐng)貸款并不是無條件的，這是選項(xiàng)C的錯(cuò)誤所在。綜觀全文，可以看出傳統(tǒng)意義上的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金還是很有吸引力的。所以本題應(yīng)選D。

短文賞析
本文講述了作者在對(duì)自己認(rèn)為非常滿意的一篇文章收尾時(shí)，電腦出問題了，之后與全球技術(shù)支持中心的客服聯(lián)絡(luò)的過程。作者認(rèn)為那個(gè)女客服一點(diǎn)都不合格，她的解釋只會(huì)令人越聽越糊涂。但是接下來女客服把微軟的電話號(hào)碼告訴作者之后，技術(shù)人員的解釋依然令人費(fèi)解，甚至最后試圖敷衍了事。經(jīng)過一番折騰之后，作者送到附近的小店里維修之后，一切恢復(fù)正常。文章帶有幽默諷刺的意味，以兩個(gè)人在同一地點(diǎn)談?wù)撏惶鞖饨Y(jié)束。
答案及解析
56.B【解析】第一段中，作者說自己想保存文件，但是光標(biāo)不動(dòng)了，死機(jī)了。只有把電池拔出強(qiáng)行關(guān)機(jī)，所以排除A，D。c中說電腦拒絕工作，不合題意。所以本題應(yīng)選B。
57.B【解析】此題是有關(guān)作者態(tài)度的問題。由第5、6段可以看出女客服的回答令人很不滿，很沮喪。所以本題應(yīng)選B。
58.D【解析】此題問技術(shù)員的回答如何。文章中“But I do need it.”“Yes.but you don’t have it.”We went on like this for a while.Fi-nally.he offered to walk me through…可以看出“技術(shù)員最后是在敷衍作者，沒有提出一個(gè)合理的解決辦法”。所以本題應(yīng)選D。
59.A【解析】“It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache.”意為“就像給我提供一個(gè)保險(xiǎn)箱放我頭上來治愈我的頭痛一樣。”含蓄諷刺地說技術(shù)員提供的建議不可采取。所以本題應(yīng)選A。
60.C【解析】由文中可知全球技術(shù)支持中心跟當(dāng)?shù)匦蘩淼甑膮^(qū)別在于，當(dāng)?shù)匦蘩淼晷矢�，地點(diǎn)近，態(tài)度好。題目問的是除了哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)以外，其他都是二者的不同。所以本題應(yīng)選C。

短文賞析
這篇有關(guān)大腦結(jié)構(gòu)的文章，介紹男性、女性大腦結(jié)構(gòu)及工作方式的不同，以及科學(xué)家的研究成果。男女大腦的工作方式有別不是指哪個(gè)好哪個(gè)壞，而是在處理復(fù)雜事件時(shí).腦的不同部分起的作用不同。男女大腦的結(jié)構(gòu)不同，科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)女性的胼胝體的神經(jīng)元比男性的要大，要豐富。左右大腦控制的部位各不相同。左大腦是用來文字處理。分析和進(jìn)行邏輯動(dòng)的;而右大腦是對(duì)圖片、圖式和形式起作用的。我們需要兩邊協(xié)調(diào)共同作用。兩半腦連接得越好，那么兩半邊在一起的協(xié)調(diào)就越好。據(jù)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，女性的兩半腦之間的連接更好一些。作者說我們不知道學(xué)校學(xué)生的能力和大腦兩半球功能之間的確切關(guān)系。我們不懂大腦兩半球是如何通過胼胝體相互作用的。最后作者間接地提出期望，希望能對(duì)胼胝體對(duì)人體的影響多做研究工作。
答案及解析
61.c【解析】選項(xiàng)A即心理學(xué)家已經(jīng)放棄，而生物學(xué)家正在展開研究工作。而文中第三句話說“Psychologists view the subject either as a matter of frustration or a joke，”即心理學(xué)家認(rèn)為這個(gè)研究不是一件沮喪的事，就是一個(gè)笑話，此句和選項(xiàng)A含義不一樣。選項(xiàng)B即大腦區(qū)別顯示出一個(gè)性別優(yōu)于另外一個(gè)性別。而文中第一段最后一句話說“But being different，they point out hurriedly，is not the same as being better or worse.”即他們指出盡管有區(qū)別，但并不能說明誰優(yōu)誰劣，此句和選項(xiàng)B含義不一樣。選項(xiàng)D兩性大腦結(jié)構(gòu)的區(qū)別早已為人所知。而文中第三段第三句話說“This is the first time that a structural difference has been found between the brains of women and men...”即這是第一次人們發(fā)現(xiàn)了兩性大腦結(jié)構(gòu)的不同，此句和選項(xiàng)D含義不一樣。所以本題應(yīng)選C。
62.D【解析】根據(jù)這篇文章，普遍認(rèn)為大腦的區(qū)別由什么因素引起的?短文第三段倒數(shù)第二句話說“We tend to think that is the influence of society that produces these differences.”即我們認(rèn)為社會(huì)的影響造成了這些區(qū)別。A、B、C均不符合題意。所以本題應(yīng)選D。
63.A【解析】“這些區(qū)別”指的是什么?短文第五段主題句說“But it isn’t all that easy to explain the actual differences between skills of men and women on this basis.”即在此基礎(chǔ)上解釋兩性技能的區(qū)別并不是很容易的事。由此可見，“這些區(qū)別”指的是兩性技能。所以本題應(yīng)選A。
64.D【解析】文章的結(jié)尾，作者說我們不知道學(xué)校學(xué)生的能力和大腦兩半球功能之間的確切關(guān)系;我們不懂大腦兩半球是如何通過cor-pus callosum相互作用的;間接地提出對(duì)于corpus callosum的影響，多作研究工作。所以本題應(yīng)選D。
65.A【解析】文章的主要目的是什么?短文介紹科學(xué)家在有關(guān)大腦結(jié)構(gòu)方面的研究成果。B、C、D只是片面上的。所以本題應(yīng)選A。
PartB(每小題2分。共計(jì)l0分)
短文賞析
美國皮膚病學(xué)研究會(huì)報(bào)道，每年該國有1，000-5000萬人口對(duì)毒藤產(chǎn)生過敏反應(yīng)。本文講述了毒藤是如何使人產(chǎn)生過敏反應(yīng)的。由于毒藤跟公園里的普通植物及其相似，很難被辨認(rèn)。許多人過敏都是在遠(yuǎn)足時(shí)或在花園里工作時(shí)，不經(jīng)意間接觸了這類植物的葉子、根莖和枝干引起的。毒藤疹會(huì)使皮膚瘙癢，呈紅色帶狀，有時(shí)還會(huì)形成水泡。根本原因是毒藤中含有的一種叫urushiol的化學(xué)物質(zhì)。盡管有時(shí)候這種物質(zhì)很小量，許多人還是會(huì)過敏。文章介紹了毒藤的作用機(jī)理，告訴人們?nèi)绾巫R(shí)別毒藤。它通常生長在潮濕的地區(qū)：如河畔，森林及草原上。毒藤植物的邊緣通常來說是很滑的，或者有小齒，顏色會(huì)隨著季節(jié)的更替而變化。春天是淡紅色，夏天是綠色，秋季則會(huì)變?yōu)辄S色、橘色或紅色。不同的人對(duì)毒藤的反應(yīng)時(shí)間和癥狀也是不一樣的。平時(shí)應(yīng)該多加注意，避免接觸毒藤。
答案及解析
66.E【解析】文章第一段講述了毒藤會(huì)使人過敏產(chǎn)生疹子，第三段提到85%的人對(duì)毒藤中的urushiol過敏，選項(xiàng)E介紹了urushiol一詞的來源，并且介紹了毒藤使人過敏的根本原因就是毒藤中含有這種化學(xué)物質(zhì)。所以本題應(yīng)選E。
67.A【解析l下面一段講的是其他方法來鑒別毒藤，所以看過選項(xiàng)之后，我們可以推斷出該空缺的是一些鑒別毒藤的方法，urushiol存在于毒藤的各個(gè)部分，最好避免接觸毒藤的任何一處。其存在于美國的各個(gè)州，三個(gè)葉子的肯定不是毒藤等信息。注意下一段的關(guān)鍵詞“other”。所以本題應(yīng)選A。
68.D【解析】該空承接上段，講的還是與毒藤相關(guān)的信息。毒橡樹跟毒漆樹的生長地點(diǎn)、環(huán)境及其形狀。還是對(duì)鑒別毒藤的支撐信息。所以本題應(yīng)選D。
69.c【解析】接下來講的是人體的免疫系統(tǒng)與毒藤之間的關(guān)系。毒藤會(huì)使人產(chǎn)生什么樣的反應(yīng)，該空緊接的就是毒藤過敏反應(yīng)是如何產(chǎn)生的。“Here’S how the poison ivy response OCCURS.”一句承上啟下。所以本題應(yīng)選C。
70.B【解析】該空缺之前講的是毒藤的過敏反應(yīng)是滯后的。不是馬上產(chǎn)生的。接下來的相關(guān)信息是不同的人敏感度不一樣，過敏反應(yīng)發(fā)生的時(shí)間也會(huì)不一樣。所以本題應(yīng)選B。

短文賞析
A
書評(píng)一講的是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家Sdglitz的《全球化和問題》的主要觀點(diǎn)并與Friedman的《資本主義和自由》進(jìn)行比較，Stiglitz認(rèn)為全球化對(duì)落后國家并沒有什么幫助。采取市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)、自由貿(mào)易等政策只會(huì)使經(jīng)濟(jì)越來越不穩(wěn)定。使全球化更好的發(fā)揮作用的辦法是政府的干涉。該書主要是對(duì)國際貨幣基金組織的批判。他對(duì)IMF無比鄙視，認(rèn)為國際貨幣基金組織推出的政策只會(huì)導(dǎo)致全球不穩(wěn)定。
B
書評(píng)二是有關(guān)Stiglitz對(duì)其他三位經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家的批判，Rubin，Summers和Fischer都過于看好市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的力量。盡管Stiglitz的書中有些部分也很膚淺，但是他對(duì)市場(chǎng)驅(qū)動(dòng)的批評(píng)仍然回蕩在人們心中，特別是當(dāng)90年代有關(guān)商業(yè)的報(bào)紙都登滿了白領(lǐng)犯罪和股市不景氣的信息，這些都證明了市場(chǎng)驅(qū)動(dòng)下的政策的不利影響。該書認(rèn)為市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的作用也必須與當(dāng)?shù)氐慕?jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展?fàn)顩r相協(xié)調(diào)。否則的話，全球化很容易就變?yōu)槟嗵丁?/p>
C
書評(píng)三是有關(guān)Stiglitz成就的信息。他雖然不是最早對(duì)IMF提出批評(píng)的人，但是到目前為止是該領(lǐng)域最杰出的人物。他作為一個(gè)批評(píng)家的出現(xiàn)標(biāo)志著知識(shí)分子領(lǐng)域的一個(gè)重要轉(zhuǎn)變。前些年經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們都沒有人像Stightz這樣重視自由貿(mào)易和全球化。是他開創(chuàng)了這一先河，但是現(xiàn)在越來越多的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家開始關(guān)注這一問題。2001年，他因?yàn)榘l(fā)表不對(duì)稱理論獲得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)。自那之后也開始習(xí)慣了別人對(duì)他爭(zhēng)議的看法。他的直言不諱激怒了IMF和美國財(cái)政部的許多官員，使世界銀行的總裁都很無奈地告訴他，他必須停止他的批判或者辭職。Stiglitz選擇了離職。
D
書評(píng)四講的是Stiglitz書籍的影響力以及他決心致力于發(fā)展中國家的發(fā)展問題。那些頭腦簡(jiǎn)單，認(rèn)為應(yīng)該給予發(fā)達(dá)國家更多的權(quán)力和發(fā)言權(quán)的愚蠢想法，只會(huì)帶來更多的危害。政治改革和經(jīng)濟(jì)改革一樣復(fù)雜。很顯然我們的心地善良的英雄，離開斯坦福大學(xué)，打算為發(fā)展中國家的發(fā)展事業(yè)而奮斗。
答案及解析
71.A【解析】“Comparison of the significance of two economic books”含有對(duì)兩本經(jīng)濟(jì)書的對(duì)比信息的，我們可以看出四個(gè)書評(píng)中只有A中提到了兩本書之間的關(guān)系。所以本題應(yīng)選A。
72.C【解析】Stiglitz在經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)領(lǐng)域享有的盛譽(yù)，C中“the most promi-nent and his emergence”。“a celebrated theorist who was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize...”等詞都可以看出他的杰出貢獻(xiàn)。所以本題應(yīng)選C。
73.B 【解析】書評(píng)二中最后幾句話提到了Stiglitz對(duì)Rubin and Sum—meFs，F(xiàn)ischer，the N0.2 0fficial and de facto chief executive of the IMF的批評(píng)，“…they had too much筋th that markets could trans—form poor countries overnight.He labels these three men market fun—damentalists”都可以看出題目中包含的信息。所以本題應(yīng)選B。
74.B【解析】書評(píng)二中提到許多經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家，甚至布什政府的官員都贊成Stiglitz的論點(diǎn)，認(rèn)為“economic change in the developing world must evolve more with local conditions”。所以本題應(yīng)選B。
75.A【解析】書評(píng)一中“Stiglitz argues，what’s needed to make globaliza-tion work better is more and smarter government intervention.”這句話我們可以看出。所以本題應(yīng)選A。
76.D【解析】Stiglitz打算致力于發(fā)展中國家的發(fā)展是在書評(píng)四中提到的，書評(píng)四最后幾句“…sets out for the nation’S capital to serve his country and improve the lot of the developing world.”他打算改善發(fā)展中國家人民的命運(yùn)。所以本題應(yīng)選D。
77.A 【解析】書評(píng)一中提到Stiglitz更主張政府參與下的經(jīng)濟(jì)政策，而不是以市場(chǎng)為主導(dǎo)的政策。所以本題應(yīng)選A。
78.c【解析】越來越多的人贊成Stiglitz的觀點(diǎn)，批評(píng)自由貿(mào)易和全球化，從“Such claims are no longer credible.for Stiglitz is part of a small but growing group of economists，sociologists and political sci-entists…”9rowing一詞可以看出答案。所以本題應(yīng)選C。
79.B【解析】有關(guān)商業(yè)方面的報(bào)道都是對(duì)Stiglitz的論點(diǎn)的支持信息。“...especially when the business page is full of stories about white—collar crime and the stock market seems stuck in a perpetual rut..."所以本題應(yīng)選B。
80.D【解析】書評(píng)一中的“…he ignores some key arguments in favor of the market...”，書評(píng)二中的“While parts of this book are disap. pointingly shallow…”，書評(píng)三種的“stiglitz，58，is hardly the first person to accuse the IMF…”都有提到Stiglitz的一些負(fù)面的消息。所以本題應(yīng)選D。
Section 1V Writing(計(jì)25分,權(quán)重25%)
One possible version:
Do you prefer staying in a place all your life?
There is a widespread concern over whether it' s a bad thing that people live in a place all their life. But it' s well known that one man' s meat is an-other man' s poison.
A majority of people think that staying in a place for a long time is a better choice. In their view there are two reasons contributing to this attitude as follows: in the first place, people who stay in one spot can develop a life-time friendship, and such a friend will give a hand without hesitation if trou-ble comes. In the second place, when people move to different places, they usually are under pressure from strangeness. A person may feel lost and tense in a place where streets, stores and schools are all different. As a say-ing goes: Fear always springs from ignorance.
People, however, differ in their opinions on this matter. Some people
hold the idea that people shouldn' t live in one place through their lives. In their points of view, on the one hand, people who spend a lifetime in one lo-cation can be locked into a limited way of life. A real problem is that life lacks passion. On the other hand, those who move frequently have a variety of outlooks. There is a chance to appreciate different ways of life.
As far as I am concerned, I finally agree the view that people shouldn't stay in a place all their lives. It' s not only because people can broaden their vision in different places, but also because fear will disappear with time. There is no doubt that no courage, no gains.
