被作记号的四选择一), B),C)和 D). After you read a passage you should decide on

the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with

a single line through the center.

Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

A fire drill(操练) is ,to put it mildly(略微地,适度地), an inconvenient(不方便的) exercise at the best of times. A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night and Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely(真诚地) for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured(忍受,忍耐) the inconvenience.(打扰)

A fire drill is not an idle (空闲的,懒散的)exercise. It is an extremely (极其,非常)serious(严重的,严肃的) one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week’ fire drill has already reyealed a number of important things regarding fire precautions(预防,警惕) in the Hall. For instance(例子), there seem to exit(出口) a number of “deaf (聋的)spots” in the Hall, namely(即,也就是), the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom corridor(走廊). I have no reason to doubt(怀疑,疑问)that residents (居民)from these areas could not hear the alarm(惊恐,忧虑,警报). I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.

I should, also, remind (使想起)you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly(有规律地) carried out(at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware(知道的,意识到的) of this and obliged(强迫,迫使) to take part. All residents must take fire precautions(预防,警惕) with the seriousness they deserve. (应受,值得).Failure to do so can result bin fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation.

1. The last fire drill caused much more inconvenience (打扰)because_________.

A) it was in bad weather B) there were “deaf spots”

C) a big fire started D) it was at the weekend

2. The phrase “in the long run”(L.2,Part.2)means_________.

A)effectively B) endlessly C) eventually(终于,最后) D) efficiently

3. Some people did not make their appearance(出现,来到,外观) at the last drill because_______.

A) they were deaf (聋的) B)they could not hear the alarm

C) nobody waked them up D) they refused to leave their rooms

4. Afire drill is extremely(极其,非常) important according to the writer for_________.

A) it is a good physical exercise B) it cultivates (培养) people’s endurance(耐久力,持久力)

C) it is a legal requirement D) it can save lives in case of a fire

5. Which of the following was NOT stated (规定的)by the author?

A) A fire drill is very important and useful.

B) The last fire drill received inactive co-operation from the residents.

C) Those who do not take fire precautions (预防,警惕)will be fined and driven out.

D) It has been made a rule that fire drills will be performed(行动) regularly.(有规律的)

Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage

Accidents(事故,意外的事) are caused; they don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: a shelf(架子) out of reach, a patch (补丁,小块土地)of ice on the misfortune(不幸,灾祸,灾难)—frustration(挫折,灰心丧气), tiredness (疲劳的,累的)or just bad temper(脾气)—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack(进攻,攻击) on oneself.

Road accidents, for example, happen frequently(经常地,屡次地) after a family quarrel( 争吵), and we all know people who are accident-prone(有 .倾向的), so often at odds(困难) with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.

By definition(定义,解说), an accident is something you can not predict(预言,预告,预测) or avoid(避免,回避,躲开), and the idea which used to be current(当前的,通用的), that the majority (多数,大多数)of road accidents are caused by a minority(少数) of criminally careless(粗心的) drivers, is not supported by insurance(保险,保险费) statistics(统计,统计数字). These show that most accidents involve(使卷入,牵涉) ordinary (普通的)motorists(开汽车的人) in a moments of carelessness(粗心) or thoughtlessness.(欠考虑的,自私的)

It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions(条件,状况) make people more likely(可能的,很可能) to have an accident. For instance(例子,实例,事例), the law requires(需要,要求) all factories to take safety precautions and most companies(公司) have safety committees(委员会,全体委员) to make sure the regulations (规则,规章,管理)are observed(观察), but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured (伤害,损害,损伤)from work due(由于,应归于) to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error (错误,差错)or misjudgment—noise and fatigue(疲劳,劳累), boredom(烦恼,无聊) or worry are possible factors (因素)which contribute(有助于 .,促成) to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety(焦虑,忧虑,渴望) level, run three times the normal risk (风险,危险,冒险)of accidents at work.

6. The passage suggests that________.

A) Accidents are usually caused by psychological(心理的,心理学的) factors.

B) Accidents mostly result(是由 .造成的) from slippery(滑的,使人滑跤的) roads.

C) Drinkers run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories.

D) About 50 000people lose their lives at work in Britain every day.

7. Which of the following is NOT mentioned(提到,说起) as a factor of accidents?

A) Mood. (心情,情绪,语气) B) Tiredness.(疲劳的,累的) C) Carelessness (粗心) D) Weather

8. The word “accidents-prone”(L.2 Para.2)means________.

A) likely to have accidents B) injured in accidents

C) possible to die in accidents D) responsible(有责任的,负责的) for road

accidents

9. What can we infer(推论,推断,猜想) about the author’ opinion (意见,看法)of accidents?

A) Safety precautions(预防,警惕) are of little use in accidents.

B) Many accidents can and should be avoided.(避免)

C) Factory accidents , unlike (不像,和 .不同)road accidents, are inevitable(不

可避免的).

D) Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless(粗心的) drivers.

10. The best title for the passage would be __________.

A) Accidents and Anxiety(焦虑,忧虑,渴望)

B) How to Deal with Accidents on Road and in Factories

C) Human Factors in Accidents

D) How to Prevent(防止,阻止) Accidents on Road and in Factories

Passage Three

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the result of the violent experiment by a German King, Frederick II, in the 13th century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.

All the infants(婴儿) died before the first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation(剥夺,丧失) here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity(能力,容量) to survive(幸免于,活下来) is seriously affected.

Today no much violent deprivation exists as that by Frederick II. Nevertheless(然而,仍然), some children are still backward(向后的,向后) in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive (不敏感的)to the signals(信号) of the infant, whose brain(脑力,智能) is programmed to map up language rapidly. There are critical(紧要的,关键性的) times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive(敏感的,灵敏的) periods are neglected(忽略,忽视), the ideal time for acquiring(取得,获得,学到) language skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.

Linguists(语言学家)suggest that speech stages(阶段) are reached in a fixed sequence(连续,继续) and at a constant(经常的) age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually(终于,最后) turns out to be of high IQ.

Recent evidence(根据) suggests that an infant is born with the capacity(能力) to speak. What is special about Man’s brain(脑力,智能) compared(比较,对照) with that of the monkey, is the complex (复杂的)system which enables(使能够,使可能) a child to connect the sight and feel of , say, a teddy-bear(玩具熊)with the sound pattern (式样)“teddy-bear”.

But speech has to be stimulated(刺激,激发), and this depends on interaction (相互作用,干扰)between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals(信号) in the child’s babbling(牙牙学语), grasping(贪心的,贪婪的), crying, smiling, and responds(响应) to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls(枯燥的,不鲜明的) the interaction because the child gets discouraged (泄气的)and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity(敏感) to the child’s non-verbal signals is essential(必要的) to the growth and development language.

11. Frederick II’s experiment was violent because_________.

A) he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speak

B)he ignored the importance of mothering to the infant

C) he was unkind to the nurse

D) he wanted his nurses to say no mother tongue

12. The reason some children are backward in speaking today that_________.

A) their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speak

B) their mothers are not intelligent(聪明的,理智的) enough to help them

C) they do not listen carefully to their mothers

D) their brains have to absorb(吸收) too much language at once.

13. By “critical(紧要的,关键性的) times” in Paragraph 3 the author means__________.

A) difficult periods in the child’s life

B) moments when the child becomes critical to its mother

C) important stages(阶段) in the child’s development

D) times when mothers often neglect(忽视,忽略,疏忽) their children

14. Which of the following in NOT implied in the passage?

A) Ability to learn to speak a language is inborn(天生的,天赋的) in man

B) Children do not need to be encouraged to learn to speak

C) Early language starters are not necessarily highly intelligent

D) Most children learn their language in definite(明确的,肯定的) stages

15. If the mother does not respond to her child’s signals_________.

A) the child will never be able to speak properly(适当地,彻底地)

B) the child will stop giving out signals

C) the child will invent a language of his own

D) the child will make little effort(努力) to speak

Passage Four

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

Americans who remember “the good old days” are not alone in complaining (抱怨)about the educational system in this country. Immigrants(移民) complain ,too. Lately a German friend was filled (装满)with anger when he learned that the mathematics(数学) test given to his son on his first day as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan to learn mathematics at Japanese levels, generally considered at least a year more advanced than the level here.

But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation(创新)?

When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had to memorize the name of all the world’s major cities, from Kabul to Karachi. At the same age, my son, who was brought up by a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed.

Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not really be able to think or to believe in themselves.

Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education certainly is not perfect, but it is a great deal better than any other. I think I have found the answer to my question.

16. From the text we learn that_________.

A) both Americans and immigrants are dissatisfied with the quality of American

education

B) the author shares the general idea that American education is worse than education in many other countries

C) Japanese schools in America require their American teachers to teach mathematics at Japanese levels

D) the author’s German friend was a little displeased because the mathematics test for his son was too easy.

17. Which of the following is NOT true?

A) The author most probably was an immigrant from Asia and received some school education there.

B) Buenos Aires must be the name of a city, as are Kabul and Karachi.

C) Children in other countries are not likely to learn creative geography.

D) The knowledge of geography of the author’s son shows that American education is poor.

18. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A) If children are not allowed to experiment freely with ideas they won’t grow up independent and creative.

B) Most Americans think the present American educational system is not as good as it used to be.

C) Private schools run by Japanese businessmen maintain a higher level than American public schools.

D) Americans are more innovative than other people in the world.

19. In the last paragraph the author says, “I have found the answer to my question.” What is the question?

A) Is Japanese education better than American education?

B) Why do Japanese businessmen send their children to Japanese-staffed schools?

C) Why was my son not taught enough geographic knowledge?

D) Is American education really worse than education in other countries?

20. What would be the best title for this passage?

A) American Education and Education in Foreign countries

B) Improvement Needed for American Education

C) Freedom to Think— Characteristic of American Education

D) Education and Innovation in American

topic Health or Wealth. You are given the first sentence of each paragraph and

are required to develop its idea in completing the paragraph. You should write

at least 100 words, not including the words given. You should write this

composition on the Answer Sheet.

Health or Wealth?

I prefer health to wealth if I have to choose between them. It is true that wealth makes life easier and more comfortable, but health is even more important. Only when one has good health can he pursue (追赶,进行)wealth (财富,财产)and happiness.

Wealth cannot be acquired(后天习得的) without health. As we know, to gain(获得) wealth usually means working hard. If one does not have a strong body, how can he work hard? How can he have enough energy to overcome all the difficulties on his way towards success? Only with a sound body may one get a chance to enjoy the better life provided by his wealth because

health ensure wealth but not vice versa. Therefore(因此,所以), health is the basis(基础) for attaining(获得) wealth.

Even if one is born into a rich family, wealth alone cannot bring him happiness. Imagine (想象,设想)a rich man who can do nothing but stay in bed. How can he enjoy his life? What can his money do for him? So long as one is healthy, there are always chances for him to attain everything including wealth.

II. 应试技巧

1. 阅读方法

阅读方法因人而异。这里向大家推荐两种,仅供参考。

1) 先看问题,后读文章

做题之前,先不要急着看短文,最好先把短文后面的问题浏览一下,再去阅读原文,看完原文后再回答问题,也就是遵循“问题――文章――问题”这样一个顺序。这样做有两个好处:

第一,对所问的问题有所了解再去读文章,阅读时便于工作会有所测重,哪些地方要细读,哪些地方可略读,一目了然,这样既可节省时间,又可以提高答题的准确率。

第二,一篇文章,如果知道其大体内容,那么读起来就会轻松得多。文章后面的问题,都是根据文章内容提出来的,大体上可以反映文章的内容,所以先看问题再读文章便会有胸有成竹之感。

请看下面的例子(注意先不要阅读文章):

We find that bright children are rarely (很少,难得)held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience (经验,体验)are enriched.(使丰富) We feel that there are many disadvantages(不利,不利地位) in streaming(把……按能力分班)pupils. It does not take into account (报道,叙述)the fact that children develop(发展,开发) at different rates(等级). It can have a bad effect(结果) on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. After all, it can be quite discouraging(使泄气) to be at the bottom of the top grade.

Besides, it is rather(宁可) unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual(智力的)ability(能力). This is only one aspect (方面)of their total personality.(个性) We also value personal qualities(品质) and social (社交的)skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes(捐献,捐助) to all these aspects(方面) of learning.

In our classroom, we work in various(各种各样的,不同的) ways. The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate,(合作,协作,配合) to share, and to develop(发展,开发) leadership(领导) skills. They also learn how to cope with(对付)personal(个人的) problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions(决定,决心), to analyze(分析) and evaluate(评价), and to communicate effectively.(有效地) The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.

Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual (个别的,独特的)tasks and assignments(任务,指定的作业), and they can do at their own speed. They also have some formal(正式的) class teaching when this is appropriate(适当的,恰当的). We encourage(鼓励) our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced(先进的,高级的) pupil can do advanced work; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement(鼓励,奖励) to attain(达到,完成) this goal(目标).

16. In the passage the author’s attitude(态度,看法) towards “mixed-ability teaching” is____.

A) critical(紧要的,关键性的) B) questioning(质问) C) approving(赞成,称许)

D) objective(客观的,无偏见的)

17. By “head back” (line 1) the author means _______.

A) made to remain in the same classes

B) forced to study in the lower classes

C) drawn to their studies

D) prevented from advancing

18. The author argues(辩论,争论) that a teacher’s chief concern(关心) should be the

development of the student’s ________.

A) personal qualities and social skills

B) total personality(个性)

C) learning ability and communicative (通讯的)skills

D) intellectual(智力的)l ability(能力)

19. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the third paragraph?

A) Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.

B) Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.

C) Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.

D) Pupils also learn how to participate(参与,分享) in teaching activities.(活动)

20. The author’s purpose(目的) of writing this passage is to ________.

A) ague for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class

B) recommend(推荐,介绍) pair work and group work for classroom activities

C) offer advice on the proper(适当的,本来的) use of library

D) emphasize(强调,着重) the importance of appropriate formal (正式的)classroom teaching

通过快速浏览文章后面的5个问题,很容易看出本文 主要内容是关于学生的能力发展问题,而且涉及到“mixed-ability teaching”这样一种教学方式。读完文章之后会发现第16、第17两个问题所问到的内容都包括在第1句话(We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching.)中。但如果接着看第2句子“on the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched”,到些,作者对“mixed-ability teaching”的态度便很明显了。他既然认为这种方法可丰富学生的知识和经验,那么他对此所抱的态度是赞成的,所16题答案应选C)approving。上述前两句话表达的是一个意思,只不过一个是从下面说的,一个是从反面说,那么第1句话中的 “rarely held back” 与第2句话中的 “enriched”应是同义或近义,也就是说 “held back” 与 “enriched” 的意思是相反的,所以第17题的答案应为D)prevented from advancing. 第18题,教师应着重发展学生的何种品质,在第2自然段中说得很清楚,答案应是B)total personality.

第19题问到下列四个选择项中有哪一项是没有被提及的,答案应是D)Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.

第20题问的是本文的写作目的或主旨。像这种问题只有把全文吃透才能作答。略读原文后可知本文的主旨在于论述混合编班教学的长处及按能力分班的缺陷。另据Question 16中作者对mixed-ability teaching的态度和文章开头的第一句话,我们不难推断作者在辩论应该实行混合编班教学。所以,正确答案为A)。而B),C),D)均为细节,都不全面,并非作者的根本目的,应排除。

2)综合法

先通览全文(akimming),然后看问题,再用查阅法(scanning)找答案。在浏览全篇时要注意了解文章的中心思想、作者的观点和态度,记住重要细节,把主题句(topic sentence)、主旨句(theme sentence)、关键词和信号词(key words and signal words)用铅笔标出,以待做题参考。需要标出的关键词大致有以下几点:询问原因是细节题最常见的方式,因此段落中表因果关系的信号词要特别注意。常见词有:because, since, as, so, hence, therefore, consequently, derive from, as a result, in that 及with结构、冒号、破折号、分号等标点符号;很多作者喜欢先肯定某一说法,然后以转折的方式强调自己的真实观点,所以表转折关系、对立关系的信号词也十分重要。如but, however, although, on the other hand, on the contrary, while, whereas等;此外,还有表列举顺序的,如:many reasons, several factors, two items, first, to begin with, to conclude等;表分类的:fall into, classify, consist of, make up of; 表时间的:prior to, previously,

simultaneously, subsequently, the same time等;事实上,考生通过对上述提示词的重视,同时还可决定要加快还是放慢阅读速度。如若出现表转折的信号词须放慢速度,若出现表例证的信号词加快速度。

2. 各种题型的应试对策

1)主旨题

要做好主旨题,首先把握好主旨句和主题句。一般而言,陈述文章中心议题及结论的句子被称为主旨句(theme sentence)。陈述推理过程中的每个主要方面的句子叫做主题句(topic sentence)。主旨句往往出现在文章的第一段或最后一段,主题句则往往出现在段首或段尾,以表明该段主要议论的问题。如:

The appeal(呼吁,申述) of advertising (广告的)to buying motives(动机,目的) can have both negative(否定的,消极的) and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced(信服的) to buy a product of poor (差)quality(品质) or high price because of an advertisement.(广告) For example, some advertisers(做广告的人) have appealed to people’s desire for better fuel(燃料)economy(经济,节约) for their cars by advertising automotive products (产品)that improve gasbline mileage(里程). Some of the products work. Others are worthless(无价值的,无用的) and a waste of consumers’ money.

Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading(使误入歧途). A few years ago a brand(商品) of bread was offered to dieters(节食者),with the message that there were fewer calories(热量单位,大卡) in every slice(薄片,切片). It turned out that the bread was not dietetic(适合节食的) but just regular(规则的,固定的) bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.(一个面包)

On the positive(确定的,积极的) side, emotional(感情的,情绪的) appeals may respond (反应良好)to a consumer’s real concerns.(关系) Consider(考虑,把 看作) fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing (有吸引力的)to fear of loss(损失). But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security(安全,安全感) of knowing(知道,了解,认识) that property (财产,财产权)is protected (保护)by insurance makes the purchase (购买)of fire insurance a worth while investment (投资)for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads(广告), they will benefit form the advertising.

Each consumer must evaluate(评价) her or his own situation(情况). Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify(证明 是正当的) buying it? Advertising is intended(想要,打算) to appeal to (上诉)consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.(决定)

21. The passage is mainly about __________.

A) how to make a wise buying decision

B) ways to protect the interests of the consumer

C) the positive and negative (否定的,消积的)aspects(方面) of advertising

D) the function of advertisements in promoting sales

第一句是第1段的主题句,又是本篇主旨句。第2、3段分别从两方面分别论述分析,每段的段首句分别为本段的主题句,所以C)为正确答案。

当然,有时情况会比较复杂,主题句在段中并不明显,考生可从以下几个方面进行判断: a. 主旨或主题句的概括性高于其他句子。

b. 为了把自己的观点准确无误地传达给读者,作者会有意识地反复重复某一主旨或主题。

c. 文字方面的标志也可看出作者是否在陈述文章的主题和主旨。如:in short, in my opinion,

therefore, I suggest/think/bet, It can be concluded that, in fact, nevertheless, as a matter of fact, however等。

2)细节题

细节题的特点是答案一般都能在文章中找到,所以在碰到科技性材料、生词太多、句子结构又太复杂时,考生也不必灰心丧气,只要按图索骥,细节部分的分数还是可能合到的。在大部分情况下,细节题的题干部分会出现某个关键性的词语,抓住关键词,即可迅速地在文章中找出所涉及的细节。如:

The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.

22. What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?

A) They may have taken place during take-off and landing.

B) They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems.

C) They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.

D)They were proved to have been caused by the passengers’ portable computers. 假若考生提前将表原因的 “caused by” 标出,那么他就不难看出这道细节题的答案为C)“pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference”,飞行员报告说有100多起飞行事故可能是由电磁干扰造成的。

有时出题人为增加难度,会有意在先期里避开文中所用的词汇,但也不外乎是该词的同义词或释义词。

3)推理题

推理题是综合性试题,难度较大,解题时需要综合运用各种阅读技巧,合理地根据内容、逻辑关系、关键词语以及相关知识和背景知识进行推断。

(1) 细节推理题

根据细节推理题答案经常出现的形式,这种题型可抓住某个关键词或句子的言外之意进行反向推理,即当A为B时,B也为A。例:

As water flows along the ground, it picks up sands, pebbles, even boulders, By this process, enormous amounts of mud and rock are moved from the land to the sea. Each year the Mississippi River carries 730 million tons of solid matter into the Gulf of Mexico.

This constant hauling of land into the sea is lowering the United States’ average height above sea level at a rate of about one foot every 9000 years. If erosion continues at the same rate, the United States will be completely down to sea level in about 23 million years.

In this passage, the author implies but not stated that __________.

A) millions of years ago the United States was higher than it is now

B) great amounts of land are moved to the sea by rivers

C) the water that sinks into the earth also reaches the ocean

D) the gulf of Mexico will be filled up in about 23 million years

原文第二段第1句的意思是“美国海拔每9000年下降一英尺”,同A)“几百万年前美国平均海拔比目前高”正好是反向推理,故A)为正确答案。

(2) 综合推理题

这种试题,要求考生在语段基础上,而不是在具体细节基础上进行归纳概括和引申,考生一定不要只盯着个别句子,而忽视了整体的含义。

It’s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity(多样化) is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate(公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity . In fact, they say that if their companies are

to compete in the global village and in the global marketplace, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women, and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesn’t occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need.

Likewise, I don’t hear people in the academy saying, “Let’s go backward. Let’s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy(不拘一格选区人才)” (which was never true — we never had a meritocracy, although we’ve come closer to it in the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last sic years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and a handful of minorities that when she first joined the community, there were less than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media — not in corporate boardrooms or on college campuses.

According to the passage diversity can be achieved in American society by _____.

A) expanding the pool of potential employee

B) promoting policies that provide skills to employees

C) training more engineers, scientists, lawyers and business managers

D) providing education for all regardless of race or sex

结合在第一段后半部分的陈述及分析备选答案可知A)、B)、C)都是实现多样化的手段但却不是根本,根本在最后一段“为所有人提供受教育机会,不管种族性别如何”,所以D)为正确答案。

此外,各种表语义关系的信号词(signal words)的运用,也可帮助考生理解各个句群之间的关系,如因果、并列等。应当注意的是,当问题是 “The author implies that ________”等时,即文章隐含的意思是什么时,答案绝不是文章中明确提出来的信息。

(3) 对作者态度的推测方法

一般而言,作者的态度与观点可能通过文章主题句和段落主题句等明显标识来识别,但有时主题句隐含于字里行间,这就需要根据文章中的动词、形容词(褒贬、肯定、否定)以及修辞手法来推断作者观点、态度和情绪。有时but, however, on the contrary 这些衔接词及表示说话人语气情感的may, must, should都可能反映作者的立场和看法。如:

Where do pesticides(杀虫剂) fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil, water, and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature, Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world?

We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides are very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.

Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative (积累的) over long periods of time, and that the danger to the individual may depend on the such of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. “Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which

have obvious signs,” says a wise physician, Dr. ReneDubos, “yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed.”

What is the author’s attitude towards the environmental effects of pesticides?

A) Pessimistic. B) Defensive. C) Indifferent. D) Concerned

本文订论述了杀虫剂对人与环境的危害,由此可看出作者对问题的关注;文章中“ we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.”也清楚地表明了作者的观点,所以应选D)。

(4) 推测文体的技巧

做这种题要考生有一定的文体知识,知道诸如演讲、社论、新闻、书评、科技论文等的内容特点和语气特点。下面就一些常见文体的特征作简单介绍。
