Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 reading 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 center.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary. Different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts, and other vocations, like farming and fishery, that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary, is very old. It consists largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fiber of our language. Hence, though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally understood, than most other technicalities. The special dialects of law, medicine, divinity, and philosophy have also, in their older strata, become pretty familiar to cultivated persons and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. Yet every vocation still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the mechanic arts. Here new terms are coined with the greatest freedom, and abandoned with indifference when they have served their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined to special discussions, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once were, a close guild （行会）. The lawyer, the physician, the man of science, the divine, associated freely with his fellow-creatures, and does not meet them in a merely professional way. Furthermore, what is called "popular science" makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking about it as in the case of the Roentgen rays and wireless telegraphy. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.
21.Special words used in technical discussion.
A) never last long
B) should be confined to scientific fields
C) may become part of common speech
D) are considered artificial language speech
22.It is true that.
A) everyone is interested in scientific findings
B) the average man often uses in his own vocabulary what was once technical language not meant for him
C) an educated person would be expected to know most technical terms
D) various professions and occupations often interchange their dialects and jargons
23.In recent years,there has been a marked increase in the number of technical terms in the terminology of.
A) fishery B) farming C) government D) sports
24.The writer of the article was, undoubtedly .
A) a linguist B) an attorney C) a scientist D) an essayist
25.The author’s main purpose in the passage is to.
A) describe a phenomenon
B) propose a solution
C) be entertaining
D) argue a belief
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
An important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum—a dark, thick ooze（渗出物，分泌物）from the earth—had been known for hundreds of years. But little use had ever been made of it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier, a manufacturer in western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepage and refining it into kerosene. Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.
Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.
The first oil well was drilled by E.L.Drake,a retired railroad conductor.In 1859he began drilling in Titusville,Pennsylvania.The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it"Drake’s Folly."But when he had drilled down about 70 feet(21 meters),Drake struck oil.His well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day.
News of Drake’s success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860’s these wildcatters were drilling for "black gold" all over western Pennsylvania. The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.
Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocery stores and door-to-door. In the 1880’s and 1890’s refiners learned how to make other products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heating oil.
26.According to the passage, many people initially thought that E. L. Drake had made a mistake by .
A) moving Pennsylvania
B) retiring from his job
C) searching for oil
D) going on a whaling expedition
27.According to the passage, what is "black gold"?
A) gold ore B) stolen money C) whale oil D) crude oil
28.Why does the author mention the California gold rush?
A) To indicate the extent of United States mineral wealth.
B) To argue that gold was more valuable than oil.
C) To describe the mood when oil was first discovered.
D) To explain the need for an increased supply of gold.
29.The author mentions all of the following as possible products of crude oil EXCEPT.
A) gasoline B) kerosene C) wax D) plastic
30.What might be the best title for the passage?
A) Oil Refining: A Historical Perspective.
B) Kerosene Lamps: A Light in the Tunnel.
C) The California Gold Rush: Get Rich Quickly.
D) Private Property: Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted.
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
For about three centuries we have been doing science, trying science out, using science for the construction of what we call modern civilization. Every dispensable item of contemporary technology, from canal locks to dial telephones to penicillin, was pieced together from the analysis of data provided by one or another series of scientific experiments. Three hundred years seems a long time for testing a new approach to human interliving, long enough to settle back for critical appraisal of the scientific method, maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument.
Voices have been raised in protest since the beginning, rising in pitch and violence in the nineteenth century during the early stages of the industrial revolution, summoning urgent crowds into the streets any day these days on the issue of nuclear energy. Give it back, say some of the voices, it doesn’t really work, we’ve tried it and it doesn’t work, go back three hundred years and start again on something else less chancy for the race of man.
The principle discoveries in this century, taking all in all, are the glimpses of the depth of our ignorance about nature. Things that used to seem clear and rational, matters of absolute certainty-Newtonian mechanics, for example-have slipped through our fingers, and we are left with a new set of gigantic puzzles, cosmic uncertainties, ambiguities; some of the laws of physics are amended every few years, some are canceled outright, some undergo revised versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress.
Just thirty years ago we call it a biological revolution when the fantastic geometry of the DNA molecule was exposed to public view and the linear language of genetics was decoded. For a while, things seemed simple and clear, the cell was a neat little machine, a mechanical device ready for taking to pieces and reassembling, like a tiny watch. But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond today’s imagining.
It is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do. What lies ahead, or what can lie ahead if the efforts in basic research are continued, is much more than the conquest of human disease or the improvement of agricultural technology or the cultivation of nutrients in the sea. As we learn more about fundamental processes of living things in general we will learn more about ourselves.
31.What can’ t be inferred from the 1st paragraph?
A) Scientific experiments in the past three hundred years have produced many valuable items.
B) For three hundred years there have been people holding hostile attitude toward science.
C) Modern civilization depends on science so man supports scientific progress unanimously.
D) Three hundred years is not long enough to settle back critical appraisal of scientific method.
32.The principle discovery in this century shows .
A) man has overthrown Newton’ s laws of physics
B) man has solved a new set of gigantic puzzles
C) man has lost many scientific discoveries
D) man has given up some of the once accepted theories
33.Now scientists have found in the past few years.
A) the exposure of DNA to the public is unnecessary
B) the tiny cell in DNA is a neat little machine
C) man knows nothing about DNA
D) man has much to learn about DNA
34.The writer’s main purpose in writing the passage is to say that .
A) science is just at its beginning
B) science has greatly improved man’s life
C) science has made profound progress
D) science has done too little to human beings
35.The writer’s attitude towards science is .
A) critical B) approving C) neutral D) regretful
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Efforts to educate people about the risks of substance abuse（毒品滥用）seem to deter some people from using dangerous substances, if such efforts are realistic about what is genuinely dangerous and what is not. Observed declines in the use of such drugs as LSD, PCP, and quaaludes since the early 1970s are probably related to increased awareness of the risks of their use, and some of this awareness was the result of warnings about these drugs in " underground "papers read by drug users. Such sources are influential, because they do not give a simple "all drugs are terrible for you" message. Drug users know there are big variations in danger among drugs, and antidrug education that ignores or denies this is likely to be ridiculed. This is illustrated by the popularity among young marijuana users of Reefer Madness, a widely unrealistic propaganda film against marijuana made in the 1930s. This film made the rounds of college campuses in the 1970s and joined rock music videos on cable television’s MTV in the 1980s. Instead of deterring marijuana use, it became a cult（风靡一时的）film among users, many of whom got high to watch it.
Although persuasion can work for some people if it is balanced and reasonable, other people seem immune to the most reasoned educational efforts. Millions have started smoking even though the considerable health risks of smoking have been well known and publicized for years. Moreover, the usefulness of education lies in primary prevention: prevention of abuse among those who presently have no problem. Hence, Bomier’s contention that "if the Pepsi generation can be persuaded to drink pop wine, they can be persuaded not to drink it while driving" is probably not correct, since most drunken driving is done by people who already have significant drinking problems, and hence seem not to be dissuaded even by much stronger measures such as loss of a driver’s license.
36.According to the passage, up to now, antidrug education.
A) has made all people see the danger of drugs
B) has succeeded in dissuading people from using drugs
C) has been effective only to a certain degree
D) has proved to be a total failure
37.The film "Reefer Madness" mentioned in the passage.
A) effectively deterred marijuana use
B) was rejected by young marijuana users
C) did not picture the danger of marijuana realistically
D) was welcomed by marijuana users because it told them how to get high
38.The message "all drugs are terrible for you" is not influential because.
A) it ignores the fact that drugs vary greatly in danger
B) it gives a false account of the risks of drug use
C) some drugs are good for health
D) it does not appear in underground papers
39.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A) Even balanced and reasonable antidrug persuasion is influential only to some people.
B) Most drug users are ignorant of the danger of drugs.
C) Punishments such as loss of a driver’s license do not seem to be an effective way to stop drunken driving.
D) Primary prevention is a useful principle to be followed in antidrug education.
40.The best title for the passage would be .
A) Are All Drugs Terrible for You?
B) Do People Believe What Underground Papers Say?
C) Is There an Increased Awareness of the Risks of Drugs?
D) Can Persuasion Reduce Drug Abuse?

【详细解答】本空所在的这一句中，前面有anxious和and，可以肯定11是一个与anxious（忧虑的）相近的形容词。再看前面的主语是shy people，那么羞怯的人一般是忧虑和忸怩。结合音，可知此空应填self-conscious（不自然的；忸怩的）。
12.【答案】Worrisome
【详细解答】从本句结构来看，空处应填一个形容词，而且修饰thoughts（想法）。羞怯的人心中常常会有什么样的想法呢？从录音中很容易听出worry这个词的音，但该词不能作形容词用。那么以worry的音开头的形容词有哪些呢？有worried， worrying， worrisome， worriless。从意思上看，worriless应该去掉。再结合该单词的后半部分发音，可知应该填worrisome（使人烦恼的）。
13.【答案】unattractive
【详细解答】本空前面讲了一串使人烦恼的想法：我会给别人留下什么样的印象？他们喜欢我吗？我听起来很愚蠢吗？我穿的是的衣服吗？所以空处应填一形容词，表示不受欢迎的或不引人注意的意思。再结合发音，很容易听出attractive的音，但意思反了；想到其义词并根据其前缀的发音，即可猜出是unattractive。
14.【答案】adversely
【详细解答】从本句意思来看，说的是上述提及的一些不舒服的感觉会影响人们，所以这种影响肯定是负面的或不利的；再从句子结构来看，前半部分是完整的句子，所以空处应该是一个状语，只填一个词的话，那么应是一个副词。表示“负面的，不利的”含义的一个副词，再结合发音，可以得知是adversely，本词是典型的adj. + ly 构成的副词。
15.【答案】reflected
【详细解答】从句子结构来看，空处是在系动词is之后，所以应填一个作表语的词或动词的过去分词表示被动语态；再看句子意思，一个人对自我的看法是通过其行为方式所的，很明显，此处应填“反映出，表达出”含义的词；再听发音，可以得知reflected。事实上，该词的发音比较容易辨别。
16.【答案】reactions
【详细解答】此句讲的是一个人的行为方式影响别人的，所以空处应填一个表示“情绪，反应，看法”等含义的名词；再细听音，很容易辨别为reactions。需注意的是应用其复数形式。
17.【答案】profound
【详细解答】此空前面是冠词a，后面是名词effect，所以空处应填一个辅音开头的形容词；再看句子意思，人们看待自己的方式对他们生活的各个方面产生的影响，空处意思应为“深远的，重大的，较大的”等含义；再仔细听音，不难知道答案。
18.【答案】They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they believe they are unworthy of praise.
【详细解答】本空要求填一个句子。填句子的基本要求是与前后句在意思上要连贯，没有语法和拼写错误。本空前面是讲羞怯的人对于批评很敏感，后面是说他们通常会说一些消极的话来回应别人的称赞，那么空处的意思应该是讲他们对待称赞的态度，而且这种态度肯定是不高兴的。其中有一个关键词compliment，后面已经出现了。再结合发音，可以得知该句是带有原因状语从句的一个复合句，从句中难点是unworthy of praise，也可以写成they don’t deserve praise。
19.【答案】It is clear that， while self-awareness is a healthy quality， overdoing it is harmful.
【详细解答】从前后文来看，本句话应是作者对前面羞怯的人所说的一句话的评论。前面一句话为“你们这样说是为了让我感觉良好，但我知道这是不真实的”，那么作者对这句话的评价肯定是否定的，因为这些人的自知之明太过了。再听音，self-awareness是一个关键词，但前面出现过类似的词，如：self-conscious， self-concept；难点是overdoing，可以根据句子意思再结合音来猜测，而且要注意变为动名词形式。同时要注意本句中间插有一个比较状语从句，要注意断句。
20.【答案】Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem， it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.
【详细解答】本句话是回答前面的问句。前面问：羞怯感能否完全消除，或者减弱？作者紧接着侧面回答了如何来减弱。当听到since这个词引导从句时，应该想到本句又是一个带状语从句的复合句。有几个短语：hand in hand with（手拉手，紧紧相连），as well as（也……，和……一起），关键词有self-esteem（该词的形近词前面已经出现了几次），weakness和strength一对反义词。在听第二遍和第三遍时应重点抓住这些短语和关键词，整个句子便可轻松写出来。 Passage One
内容概要:
本文讨论的重点是各行各业的专业词汇。不同的职业，其专业词汇具有自身的特征。比如商业、手工业、农业及渔业的专业词汇中包含大量的古文。然而，随着大众科学的普及，人们对近期的发明创造变得越来越熟悉，并将某些专有名词应用在了自己的日常交流之中了。
21.【答案】C。
【译文】用于技术交流中的某些专用词汇也可以用于日常交流之中。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】见文章最后一句话，Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace. 说明人们在日常谈话中总会使用一些新的专有词汇使之成为日常用语。这一思想与答案C一致。
22.【答案】B。
【译文】普通人会在自己的日常用语中使用他过去并不使用的专用术语。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】本题与前面的21题有相通之处。根据文章内容，A（每个人都对科学发现感兴趣）是没有根据的、太过绝对的断言；C（受过教育的人都应该了解大多数的专有名词）显然也是无根据的，而“不同的专业或行业之间经常互换行话”（选项D）在文中也找不到根据。只有答案B与文章的最后几句话相吻合。
23.【答案】C。
【译文】近年来，专用术语的数量具有明显增长的是行政管理方面的术语。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】该段文章的段中有一句话：And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the mechanic arts.说明自然科学、政治学及机械学领域的术语增加最快，只有答案C符合这种说法。
24.【答案】A。
【译文】该文作者肯定是一名语言学家。
【试题分析】综合分析题，通过理解全文推理得知答案。
【详细解答】根据文章所谈论的主题，即不同行业的专用术语的问题，显然作者是一位语言学家，而不是律师（B）科学家（C）或评论家（D）。
25.【答案】A。
【译文】作者写作本文的主要目的是描写一种现象。
【试题分析】综合分析推论题，在理解全文的基础上推理得知答案。
【详细解答】根据全文内容，作者在文中介绍了各种不同行业的专用名词的特点，以及这些术语的发展和使用情况，显然是陈述性质的，是向读者描述某种现象，而不是为了提供解决问题的方案（B），因为根本没有提出任何问题；更不是为了娱乐（C）和争辩（D）。因此正确答案是A。
Passage Two
内容概要:
本文讲述的美国内战后发展起来的新兴工业——炼油业的相关情况。19世纪50年代一位名叫Samuel M. Kier的人首次炼出了煤油。它的出现取代了鲸油供人们电灯照明。E. L. Drake是第一个钻井成功的人。他的成功为以后大量的勘探者带来了取之不尽的财富。
26.【答案】C。
【译文】许多人开始时认为E. L. Drake搜寻石油的做法是错误的。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】根据文章第三段对该事件的描述，得知E. L. Drake这位退休列车长试图在 Pennsylvania 的Titusville钻井，但旁观者认为其行为很不现实甚至很愚蠢，直到他打到70英尺深处打出石油。因此，答案应是C。
27.【答案】D。
【译文】根据文章内容，black gold（黑色黄金）指的是“原油”。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】文章第一段第二句话对原油进行了明确的介绍：原油也叫石油，是地下的一种黑色渗出物。这里的“黑色渗出物”也就是第3段谈到的E. L. Drake试图开采的东西，即第4段所谓的black gold（黑色黄金）。因此，正确答案是D。
28.【答案】C。
【译文】作者提到加州的淘金热，目的是描述石油被首次发现时带给人们的激动情绪。
【试题分析】综合分析推理题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】文章第4段提到加州淘金热时，原文写道：The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement…意思是说（当时人们投入开采“黑色黄金”的）热潮可以与1848年的加州淘金热相媲美。这显然是为了向读者描述石油被首次发现时带给人们的激动情绪，因此选C。
29.【答案】D。
【译文】作者在文中提到由原油生产出的产品不包括塑料。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】根据文章第一段就得知煤油（B. kerosene）是原油提炼出来的；再根据文章最后一段，得知汽油（A. gasoline）和蜡（C. wax）也是由原油生产而来，所以本题的正确答案应是D。
30.【答案】A。
【译文】可以作为本文题目的是：炼油的历史变迁。
【试题分析】综合分析归纳推论题，根据全文内容归纳总结得出答案。
【详细解答】根据全文内容，本文主要是介绍炼油的历史，正确答案是A。选项B, C, D的中心词分别是“煤油灯”、“加州淘金热”、“私有财产”，显然都不妥。
Passage Three
内容概要:
本文讨论的是科学的进步与人类的发展。三百年以来，我们一直在从事各种科学活动，试图利用科学，揭开科学的神秘面纱，从而构建现代文明。但是，科学发展到现在还只是个开端，人类在各项研究方面都需要继续探索和努力，只有这样，人类才能不断提高对自身的认识。
31.【答案】C。
【译文】与第一段内容相悖的是：现代文明依赖科学的发展，因此所有的人都毫无异议地支持科技的进步。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】文章第一段提到：…maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument.也就是说，对于将科学继续进行下去，人们观点不一。并且下文就不同的观点进行了详细的阐述，因此答案C是正确的。与之相比较，其他三个选项均是错误的。
32.【答案】D。
【译文】本世纪的主要发现表明，人类已经放弃了某些曾经接受的理论。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】见文章第3段，尤其是最后几句话，…some of the laws of physics are amended every few years, some are canceled outright, some undergo revised versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress. 得知人类对理论所采取的做法是修正，摈弃，甚至采取立法手段等，因此正确答案是D。
33.【答案】D。
【译文】在过去的几年里，科学家发现人们对DNA尚需进行继续深入研究。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】承接第4段末尾人们对DNA的再认识（But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond today’s imagining.），作者在第5段指出了对DNA研究的态度：继续深入地开展下去。由此确定答案为D。
34.【答案】A。
【译文】作者写作此文的目的是说明科学才刚刚起步。
【试题分析】总结归纳题，通过理解全文归纳出答案。
【详细解答】文章的最后一段明确指出，It is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do.从而清楚地将作者的观点公之于众，那就是说，科学刚刚起步，面前的路还很长很长。因此答案应是A。虽然科学取得了很大进展（C），大大改善了人们的生活（B），但这都不是本文的写作目的。
35.【答案】B。
【译文】作者对待科学的态度是满意的。
【试题分析】综合归纳题，在理解文章主题思想的基础上推理得知答案。
【详细解答】根据全文的主题，作者对待科学的态度不是挑剔（A），中立（C）也不是遗憾（D），而是满意的积极的态度，所以应选择答案B。
Passage Four
内容概要:
本文讨论的人们对滥用毒品采取的态度问题。随着人们对毒品危害性的日益了解，毒品滥用的情况在减少，但“所有毒品都对人有极大危害”的说法显然不具有太大的影响力，因为人们都很明了毒品的毒性是有很大差异的。反毒品教育只是在一定程度上降低了毒品滥用的情况，但这个问题任重道远。
36.【答案】C。
【译文】根据文章内容得知，到目前为止，反毒品教育只是在某种程度上起到了一定的效果。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】文章第一段所述，antidrug education既没有完全失败（选项D. a total failure），也不是如选项A，B那样使所有的人都意识到了吸毒的危害，而是Observed declines in the use of such drugs…即在某种程度上了解了其危害，所以只有C是正确的。
37.【答案】C。
【译文】文中提到的Reefer Madness这部电影没有真实地反映大麻的危害。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】见文章第一段最后几行，了解到…Reefer Madness, a widely unrealistic propaganda film against marijuana made in the 1930s.也就是说，这部电影是一部相当不真实的反大麻宣传影片，因此正确答案是C。
38.【答案】A。
【译文】“所有的毒品对人的危害都极大”这种说法没有影响力是因为它忽略了毒品在危害性方面差异很大的事实。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】见文章第1段中部，Such sources are influential, because they do not give a simple “all drugs are terrible for you” message. Drug users know there are big variations in danger among drugs, and antidrug education that ignores or denies this is likely to be ridiculed.明确得知答案是A。
39.【答案】B。
【译文】大多数吸毒者对毒品的危害都视而不见，这种说法是错误的。
【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。
【详细解答】见文章第1段中部，Such sources are influential, because they do not give a simple “all drugs are terrible for you” message. Drug users know there are big variations in danger among drugs, and antidrug education that ignores or denies this is likely to be ridiculed. 得知吸毒者了解毒品在危害性上差异很大，因此答案是B。
40.【答案】D。
【译文】本文的题目是：勿滥用毒品——能劝好吗？
【试题分析】综合归纳题，在理解全文基础上推理得知答案。
【详细解答】根据文章的主题，作者不是解释是否所有的毒品都有害（A），也不是吸毒的危害性是否已经被人所知（C），更不是地下报纸的可信度问题（B），正确答案只能是D。 41.【答案】C。
