Reading Comprehension (Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.)
It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most coolheaded and good tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to.
A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadsmanship. Year ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
16、According to this passage, troubles on the mad are primarily caused by ________.
·A.people’s attitude towards the mad-hog
·B.the rhythm of modern life
·C.the behavior of the driver
·D.traffic conditions
正确答案:
C
细节题。根据第一段第一句话,It is all very well…, but…这一结构常用来表示不满,意思是“……好是很好,可是……”。由此可知,作者显然在强调but之后的内容,即道路上的礼貌问题变得越来越糟糕。因此B项(现代生活的节奏)和D项(交通条件)不符合题意。根据本段第三句可知,人们或许能容忍司机的古怪、粗鲁和不体贴,故排除A项(人们对于暴躁的司机的态度)。故本题选C。
[参考译文]
指责交通堵塞、油价过高及现代生活的快节奏是无可厚非的,但道路上的礼貌问题变得越来越糟糕。每个人都知道,脾气最好的人都变成了方向盘后的怪物。你可能会容忍司机的古怪、粗鲁和不体贴,但如今,有礼貌的驾驶者只是例外。
道路礼貌不仅是一种良好的礼貌,而且也是一种良好的意识。遭遇不文明的行为时,只有最冷静、最好脾气的司机才能摒弃报复对方的念头。另一方面,礼貌一点对缓解驾车紧张有很大帮助。对于礼貌行为的回应,友好的点头或致谢有助于在现代交通条件下营造一种善意和宽容的氛围。但如今,这种对礼貌行为的致谢实在太少了。
然而,不合时宜的礼貌行为也可能是危险的。典型的例子是,在几秒钟后道路就会通畅的情况下,司机猛刹车,冒着危险让一辆车从侧道出来;或者是司机挥手让一个孩子过斑马线,进入迎面有车行驶的车道,而这些车辆不能及时停下。同样的,鼓励老太太们随时随地横穿马路也是如此。
一位经验丰富、行为良好的司机告诉我,如果驾驶者学会一次一辆交叉进入车流中,而不造成滋生坏脾气的完全堵塞,那将会有帮助。不幸的是,现在的司机甚至还没有学会开车,更别提掌握道路上的礼貌规范了。一年前,专家们警告我们,汽车拥有量的激增将要求所有道路使用者付出更多的代价。现在是我们大家牢记这一信息的时候了。
17、The sentence “You might tolerate the odd road-hog…the rude.” (Para. 1) implies that ________.
·A.our society is unjust towards well-mannered motorists
·B.rude drivers can be met only occasionally
·C.the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hog
·D.nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists
正确答案:
D
推理题。这里的road-hog是指妨碍其他车辆行驶的司机。本句大意:你可能会容忍司机的古怪、粗鲁和不体贴,但如今,有礼貌的驾驶者只是例外。言外之意是不懂礼貌的司机很常见。因此可排除B项(粗鲁的司机只会偶尔碰见)和C项(彬彬有礼的司机不能容忍这种粗鲁的司机)。A项(我们的社会对彬彬有礼的司机是不公平的)属于无中生有,文章未提及,故排除。故本题选D。
18、By “good sense” in paragraph 2, the writer means ________.
·A.the driver’s ability to understand and react reasonably
·B.the driver’s prompt response to difficult and severe conditions
·C.the driver’s tolerance of rude or even savage behavior
·D.the driver’s acknowledgement of politeness and regulations
正确答案:
A
推理题。根据文章第二段可知,作者认为good sense包含两层含义:一方面要对别人礼貌,对别人的不礼貌行为要保持冷静;另一方面要意识到别人对自己的礼貌照顾,并对此作出回应,如友好的点一下头或招手示意。B项(司机对困难和恶劣条件的迅速反应)不是全文讨论的内容,C项(司机对粗鲁甚至野蛮行为的容忍)只是good sense的一个具体体现,不是其真正含义,故不正确。D项(司机对礼貌行为和规章制度的认可)中的regulations(交通规则)全文并未提及,故排除。故本题选A。
19、Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion, ________.
·A.road users should make more sacrifice
·B.drivers should be ready to yield to each other
·C.drivers should have more communication among themselves
·D.drivers will suffer great loss if they pay no respect to others
正确答案:
B
细节题。根据最后一段倒数第二句可知,专家们警告我们,汽车拥有量的激增将要求所有道路使用者付出更多的代价,即要忍受交通堵塞带来的不便,因此道路礼貌显得尤为重要,这也正是作者所提倡的。A项(司机作出更大牺牲)不符合题意;C项(司机之间需要更多的交流)原文未提及;D项(司机如果不尊重别人,就会蒙受巨大的损失)说的是不尊重他人的后果,原文未提及,故排除。故本题选B。
20、In the writer’s opinion, ________.
·A.strict traffic regulations are badly needed
·B.drivers should apply road politeness properly
·C.rude drivers should be punished
·D.drivers should avoid traffic jams
正确答案:
B
态度题。全文讨论的是道路上的礼貌问题,文中第三段着重讨论了不合时宜的道路礼貌可能是危险的这一观点,并举例来说明,这与B项(司机应适当遵守道路礼仪)的观点吻合。A项(制定严苛的交通规则)和C项(粗鲁的司机应该受到惩罚)与原文不符,文中并未提及交通法规和粗鲁司机要受到惩罚,故排除。从全文看,作者认为司机要有礼貌,互谅互让,故D项(司机应避免交通堵塞)说法也不正确。故本题选B。
Education is vital to a nation which holds the reins of economy over the world, so it is to an individual who strives for better livelihood in a highly competitive society like the Americans.
New technology and automation create opportunities as well as challenges to the American people. Machines now take the sweat out of labor, and computers perform tedious mental chores. They have eliminated many of the menial, dirty, or dull jobs, but also entail challenges that can be met only by a better prepared work force. More education and more skill will be the chief requisite for a job.
In the United States, primary schools and high schools offer a broad education to provide a sound foundation in English, mathematics, arts and physical and social sciences. Subordinate to the broad education, both college preparatory and vocational courses are taught under one roof in the comprehensive high schools. Academic, business and technical courses are taught in the 2-year community and junior colleges. Many of their graduates decide they need more schooling and go on to regular colleges and universities. Skill centers in many large cities provide trainings and retraining for youngsters who leave high school and want to qualify for skilled occupations in industries or subprofessional and technical jobs in service fields. Vocational high schools provide “marketable skills” to young men and women who will never go to colleges. Also there are technical institutes under federal sponsorship and a vast range of in-school and on-the-job training programs financed by labor departments and industries.
21、Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?
·A.The broad education can meet the needs of different students.
·B.The high-tech saves people from some tedious work.
·C.There are technical institutes sponsored by the government in the USA
·D.The coming of high-tech age brings more chances for people.
正确答案:
D
推理题。根据原文第三段可知,A项(广泛教育可以满足不同学生的需求)说法正确。根据原文第二段第二句可知,B项(高科技可以把人们从繁琐的工作中解放出来)说法正确。根据原文第三段最后一句可知,美国政府资助了一些技术机构,故C项(美国有由政府部门赞助的技术机构)说法正确。根据原文第二段第一句可知,新技术的开发为美国人创造了机会,同时也带来了挑战,D项(高科技时代的到来仅给人们带来了更多的机会)与原文所述不符。故本题选D。
[参考译文]
教育对于一个掌握世界经济大权的国家来说是至关重要的,对于像美国人一样在竞争激烈的社会中为改善生活而奋斗的人来说也是如此。
新技术和自动化给美国人民带来了机遇,也带来了挑战。机器可以解放体力劳动者,而计算机可以执行单调乏味的脑力劳动。它们消除了许多琐碎、脏乱或枯燥的工作,但也带来了挑战,而这些挑战只有通过更加充分的准备才能应对。拥有更多的教育和更多的技能将是工作的首要条件。
在美国,小学和高中提供广泛的教育,以便为学生打下良好的英语、数学、艺术、物理和社会科学基础。大学预备课程和职业课程都是在综合性高中讲授的,从属于广泛的教育。两年制的社区和专科学校开设有学术、商业和技术课程。它们中的许多毕业生认为自己需要更多的教育,然后进入普通的学院和大学学习。许多大城市的技能中心为那些从高中毕业但希望有资格从事工业方面的技术工作或服务领域的助理工作和技术工作的年轻人提供培训和再培训。职业高中为不上大学的年轻男女提供“适销对路的技能”。此外,还有由联邦政府资助的技术机构,以及由劳动部门和行业资助的大量校内和在职培训项目。
22、What have advanced technology and automation done to Americans?
·A.Created chances and challenges for them.
·B.Helped them get higher positions in work.
·C.Made them manage to earn much more money.
·D.Given them chances to communicate with foreigners.
正确答案:
A
细节题。根据原文第二段第一句可知,新技术的开发为美国人创造了机会,同时也带来了挑战。A项(为美国人创造机遇和挑战)与原文相符。B项(促使他们在工作中获得高职位)、C项(使他们挣更多的钱)和D项(为他们提供与外国人交流的机会)均与原文所述不符。故本题选A。
23、What courses are available in a comprehensive high school?
·A.Academic courses.
·B.Mathematics.
·C.Technical courses.
·D.Vocational courses.
正确答案:
D
细节题。根据原文第三段第二句可知,大学预备课程和职业课程都是在综合性高中讲授的,从属于广泛的教育。故D项(职业课程)符合题意。A项(学术课程)、B项(数学)和C项(技术课程)均与原文所述不符,故排除。故本题选D。
24、What trainings are available to young people who do not go to colleges after they graduate?
·A.Trainings in junior colleges.
·B.Trainings in skill centers.
·C.Trainings in work.
·D.Trainings in community colleges.
正确答案:
B
细节题。根据原文第三段倒数第三句可知,许多大城市的技能中心为那些从高中毕业但希望有资格从事工业方面的技术工作或服务领域的助理工作和技术工作的年轻人提供培训和再培训,故B项(在技术中心进行培训)符合题意。A项(专科学校的培训)、C项(在职培训)和D项(社区学院的培训)均与原文所述不符,故排除。故本题选B。
25、Which of the following is the major requirement for a job?
·A.More education.
·B.More skill.
·C.More chances.
·D.Both A and B.
正确答案:
D
细节题。根据原文第二段最后一句可知,受过良好教育以及具有较多技能是当今美国人找工作时必须具备的主要条件,故D项(A和B)符合题意。A项(更多教育)和B项(更多技能)描述不全面,C项(更多机会)与原文不符。故本题选D。
A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy. Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called “take a mortgage(抵押)”. The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgae for twenty-five years. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $50 000. In other words, they will have a $50 000 mortgage.
How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like, you go to a bank. The bank will research you financial(金融的)history and decide if they think you are a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have, what kind of salary you make, and how long you have had the job. They will also want to know how much money you have. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment.
26、What does a house mean in the United States?
·A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize.
·B.It is so expensive that many people cannot really buy them.
·C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy.
·D.It doesn’t belong to people if they can’t borrow money from the bank.
正确答案:
C
细节题。根据原文第一句可知,房子是人们所要购置的最重要的财产。A项(它是很多人都无法实现的梦想)和B项(它太贵了很多人都无法真正买得起)都表示人们没有能力购房,与文章中的抵押贷款购房相悖。D项(如果人们不能从银行贷款,房子就不会属于他们)说法过于绝对,并不是所有的人都必须通银行贷款才能买得起房子。故本题选C。
[参考译文]
房子是大多数人将要购买的最昂贵的物品。很少有人自己有足够的钱来购房,因而人们不得不从银行贷款。从银行借钱购房被称为“作抵押”。银行通常的借款期或抵押期可达25年。当前房价如此之高,以至人们的借款额高达50 000美元。换句话说,他们将有50 000美元的抵押款。
怎样获得抵押贷款呢?找到自己喜欢的房子后,到一家银行去。银行会审查你的金融记录,然后决定你是否是一个风险较小的人。他们要了解你的工作类型,薪水收入,以及工作年限。他们还要了解你有多少钱。此外,银行还要求付首付。根据你所居住的州,银行可能要求房价的30%作为首付款,然后银行将借给你购房所需的剩余款项。许多人因攒不到足够的钱付首付,从而根本就没有能力购房。
27、If American people borrow money from the bank for 25 years, this means that the person who borrows ________.
·A.has twenty-five years to pay back the money
·B.has more than twenty-five years to pay back the money
·C.has less than twenty-five years to pay back the money
·D.has about twenty-five years to pay back the money
正确答案:
A
细节题。根据原文第一段第四句可知,银行的借款期是25年,这是一个准确的数字,而不是多于、少于或大约25年,故B项(用超过25年的时间来偿还这笔钱)、C项(用少于25年的时间来偿还这笔钱)和D项(用大约25年的时间来偿还这笔钱)均与原文所述不符,故排除。故本题选A。
28、What does “down payment” refer to in this passage?
·A.Money borrowed from a bank as a mortgage.
·B.Money paid to a bank before the mortgages is given.
·C.Interest received by a person who borrows money as the mortgages.
·D.Interest charged by a bank on a mortgage.
正确答案:
B
词义题。从“down payment”的后一句话The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house可以推知“down payment”是在取得贷款之前自己先支付的那部分款项,即首付款。故本题选B。A项(作为抵押从银行借来的钱)、C项(借款作为抵押贷款的人收到的利息)和D项(银行对抵押贷款收取的利息)均与原文所述不符,故排除。
29、Which is not one of the things researched by a bank?
·A.How much money the borrower owns.
·B.What salary the borrower makes.
·C.What kind of job the borrower has.
·D.What kind of house the borrower lives in.
正确答案:
D
细节题。题干询问的是银行查询的内容,集中在文章第二段,可以用对比排除的方法得出答案。A项(借款人有多少钱)、B项(借款人的薪水是多少)和C项(借款人的职业是什么)文章都有提及,故排除。故本题选D。
30、The most suitable title for this passage would be ________.
·A.How to Save Money on the House
·B.How to Borrow Money from a Bank
·C.How to Take a Mortgage
·D.How to Buy a House
正确答案:
C
主旨题。文章第一段由购房展开,引出了在当前房价居高的形势下,人们购房所采用的一种方式——抵押贷款。并于第二段展开说明如何进行抵押贷款。故本文主旨在于说明如何进行抵押贷款,所以C项(如何获得抵押贷款)最适合作为本文标题。A项(如何存钱买房)和B项(如何从银行借钱)均不符合文章主旨,故排除。D项(如何购房)范围太广,超出了文章所覆盖的范围。故本题选C。
It’s never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing. Look back with honesty and think how often you’ve judged roughly, said unkind things, pushed yourself ahead at the expense of a friend. Then count the occasions when you indicated clearly and truly that you were sorry. A bit frightening, isn’t it? Frightening because some deep wisdom in us knows that whenever a small wrong has been committed, some mysterious moral feeling is disturbed; and it stays out of balance until fault is acknowledged(承认)and regret expressed.
I remember a doctor friend, the late(已故的)Clarece Lieb, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia(失眠)and stomach trouble. No physical cause could be found. Finally Dr. Lieb said to the man, “Unless you tell me what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.”
After some hesitation, the man confessed that, as executor of his father’s will, he had been cheating his brother, who lived abroad, of his inheritance. Then and there the wise old doctor made the man write to his brother asking forgiveness and enclosing a cheque as the first step in restoring their good relation. He then went with him to the mail box in the corridor. As the letter disappeared, the man burst into tears. “Thank you,” he said, “I think I’m cured.”
A heartfelt apology can not only heal a damaged relationship but also make it stronger. If you can think of someone who deserves an apology from you, someone you have wronged, or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now.
31、When we have done something wrong, we should ________.
·A.look honest and think over the fault carefully
·B.escape from being disturbed
·C.admit the fault and express the regret
·D.forgive ourselves
正确答案:
C
细节题。根据文章第一段最后一句可知,我们若是做错了事,就应该承认错误,表示歉意,故C项(承认错误并表示歉意)符合题意。A项(诚实看待并认真反思错误)、B项(不受干扰)和D项(原谅自己)均与原文表述不符,故排除。故本题选C。
[参考译文]
承认错误决不是件容易的事。作为人类,我们都需要懂得道歉的艺术。用诚实的眼光回顾过去,想想你有多少次武断的判断,说了多少不友善的话,并且以牺牲朋友为代价推动自己前进。然后数一数,你清楚真实地表示你很抱歉的场合。有点吓人,不是吗?令人恐惧的是,我们内心深处的一些智慧知道,每当一个小小的错误发生时,道德上就会感觉受到谴责;直到承认错误并表示抱歉之前,它一直处于失衡状态。
我记得一位已故的医生朋友——克莱斯·利布,告诉我一个男人带着各种各样的症状来找他:头痛、失眠和胃病。无法找到任何生理原因。最后,利布博士对那个人说:“除非你告诉我你在担心什么,否则我帮不了你。”
犹豫了一会儿后,该男子承认,作为父亲遗嘱的执行人,他一直在欺骗住在国外的弟弟,继承了属于弟弟的那部分遗产。这时,那位睿智的老医生(利布博士)让他写信给他的弟弟请求原谅,并附上一张支票,作为恢复他们良好关系的第一步。然后利布和他一起走向走廊里的信箱。随着信的消失,那人哭了起来。他说:“谢谢你,我想我已经痊愈了。”
真诚的道歉不仅能治愈一段受损的关系,而且还能让它变得更强大。如果你能想到一个值得你道歉的人,一个你曾冤枉的人,一个你曾严厉评判的人,或者只是忽略了的人,现在就做点什么吧。

正确答案:
Certificate Craze on Campus
In recent years, to get a certificate has become a new craze among college students. Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. Why does this craze appear?
There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon. First, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe. Second, diploma and certificates are still important standards by which many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.
From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability. Being crazy in getting certificates blindly is nothing but wasting time. In a nutshell, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.
