Passage 1

On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Clarke, dressed for going out, took her handbag with her money and her key in it, locked the door and went to the club. She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.

At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.

Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone had a key that fitted her front door“a master key perhaps”. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time，dressed as usual，but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.

It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly toward the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.

Passage 2

We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in dividing pupils into different groups. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.

In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.

Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil

can do advanced work: it does not matter how old the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

36. The phrase held back ? in Line 1 means being .

A. forced to study hard

C. unwilling to study hard

B. stopped from making progress

D. pushed to make great progress

【答案】 B

詞匯題。從“On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched.”可知他們的知 識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)都很豐富， 故可以推測他們是一直在進(jìn)步的。 A 選項(xiàng)是被迫去學(xué)習(xí); C 是不愿意去學(xué)習(xí); D 是逼迫他們?nèi)〉酶蟮倪M(jìn)步。需要注意的是文章中held back 前有否定副詞 rarely。

37. The writer’s attitude towards mixed-ability teaching ? is .

A. approving B. negative

C. critical D. indifferent

【答案】 A

態(tài)度題。從文章第二段“we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.”可理解綜合素質(zhì)教育有助于學(xué)習(xí)各種各樣的知識(shí)技能。故作者的態(tài)度是贊成的。

38. According to the writer, the main concern of a teacher should be the development of the students’ .

A. social skills B. total personality

C. personal qualities D. intellectual ability

【答案】 B

細(xì)節(jié)題。從“concern, development”定位到文章的第二段， “it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality.”如果只通過智 力來判斷一個(gè)人是不對(duì)的， 因?yàn)橹橇H僅是綜合素質(zhì)的一部分。選擇中社交能力， 人格品質(zhì)和智力都只 是綜合能力的一部分， 只有 B 正確。

39. Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?

A. Pupils can learn how to be capable organizers.

B. Pupils can learn how to work together with others.

C. Pupils can learn how to participate in teaching activities.

D. Pupils can learn how to develop their reasoning abilities.

【答案】 C

細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章中“to co-operate, to develop leadership skills. to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate”等詞可以知道學(xué)生應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)合作， 培養(yǎng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力， 去思考， 做決定并且要學(xué)會(huì)分析。 故只有 C 在文章未被提及。

40. This passage aims to .

A. offer advice on the effective use of the library

B. emphasize the importance of teaching the skills

C. discuss pair work and group work for classroom activities

D. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class

【答案】 D

主旨題。文章通篇都是討論如何培養(yǎng)一個(gè)學(xué)生綜合能力的問題。 A 對(duì)圖書館的使用提供建議; B 強(qiáng)調(diào)教授技巧的重要性; C 是討論團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的問題， 這些都是文章中的某一個(gè)點(diǎn)， 并不能概括全文的中 心思想， 文章一直討論的都是 mixed-ability teaching 的問題， 從第一段的最后兩句也可以得出， 全文討 論的是怎樣教育聰明和一般學(xué)生的問題。

Passage 3

In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member”ere high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress—it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.

By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research was described

briefly in a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like “Stress causes illness!” If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.

But such simple advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many—like the death of a loved one—are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for

staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.

The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we're all weak and passive in the face of difficulties. But what about human initiative and creativity? Many people come through periods of stress with more physical and mental energy than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and metal strain.

41. Holmes-Rahc made a medical research on .

A. what to do to avoid stress

B. what to do to cope with stress

C. what kind of events can cause stress

D. what kind of stress can cause changes

【答案】 C

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干 medical research 定位到文章的第一段第一句“medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. ” 醫(yī) 學(xué) 研 究 者 Thomas Holmes 和 Richard Rahe 研究總結(jié)出了一個(gè)關(guān)于產(chǎn)生壓力的報(bào)告。因此這個(gè)報(bào)告主要的反應(yīng)的是導(dǎo)致壓力的事情是 什么。

42. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows .

A. how much you have to deal with stress

B. how positive events can change your life

C. how negative events can change your life

D. how you can deal with life-changing events

【答案】 A

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干 Holmes-Rahe 定位到文章第一段第三句“When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress—it only shows how much you have to deal with.”主要說的是這個(gè)測試的結(jié)果并不是反應(yīng)你怎么樣去處理壓力， 而是你有多要壓力需要 處理。故選 A。

43. The studies on stress in the early 1970s made people .

A. feel more stressful in working and living

B. believe that it's impossible to avoid stress

C. worry about their mental and physical health

D. believe that it’s possible to avoid stressful events

44. If a person wanted to avoid stress completely, he would have to .

A. avoid any changes

B. make some changes

C. be free of dangerous things

D. stay away from the opportunities

【答案】 A

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干定位到文章的第三段最后一句“Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.”句意是因 為任何的改變都會(huì)導(dǎo)致壓力， 一個(gè)完全想免于壓力的人將會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)不結(jié)婚， 生孩子， 找新工作和搬家。

45. Which of the following best describes the writer's tone in the passage?

A. Critical.

C. Subjective.

B. Objective.

D. Prejudiced.

【答案】 B

推理題。全文作者的語調(diào)都是客觀的， 并未出現(xiàn)主觀的想法如 I think ，I believe 等， 在文章最 后兩段， 明顯有提到避免壓力會(huì)導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果， 但是產(chǎn)生壓力會(huì)導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果作者也有提及， 因此并未有偏 向哪一方的看法， 因此是客觀的。

Passage 4

Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away-…straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared (紅外線)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under attack. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (殺蟲劑) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which always includes plants that don’t have pest (害蟲) problems.

Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. An infrared scanner, on a plane flying at 3,000 feet at night, measured the heat send out by crops. The data was turned into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.

The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term supporters were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt about how the technology works. "This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States", says George Oerther of Texas A&M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks long-distance infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade, but only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.

46. Plants will run a fever when they are .

A. sprayed with pesticides

B. facing an infrared scanner

C. troubled with insects or disease

D. having their temperature taken

【答案】 C

細(xì)節(jié)題。從題干“plan will run a fever”定位到文章第二、三段最后一句。在以前， 我們對(duì)植物 進(jìn)行殺蟲是大量的灌溉， 而現(xiàn)在我們可以對(duì)植物進(jìn)行單獨(dú)殺蟲， 在植物患上蟲患的時(shí)候， 我們可以減少 殺蟲劑的使用。因此只有當(dāng)植物生蟲或出現(xiàn)疾病的時(shí)候植物才會(huì)出現(xiàn)問題。

50. The passage mainly talks about the .

A. problems of crops

Don't you think you can compare it with life 64 ? When you meet with difficulty in life and work, and you are not clear about it yet, you 65 put up struggle immediately. It seems to be a negative attitude, but a person who can afford to
