第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题； 每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
(A)
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of the day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it tends to such familiar monologues（独白）as “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（减弱）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your shaper hours.
56. If a person finds getting up early is a problem, most probably __________.
A. he is a lazy person
B. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C. he is not sure when his energy is low
D. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
57. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
A. Unawareness of energy cycles.
B. Familiar monologues.
C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.
58. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _____.
A. change his energy cycle B. overcome his laziness
C. get up earlier than usual D. go to bed earlier
59. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ________.
A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B. help you to control your temper early in the day
C. enable yon to concentrate on your routine work
D. keep your energy cycle under control all day
(B)

To Whom It May Concern:
My husband and I got married in 1991 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.
My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.
After several weeks of job-hunting I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”
But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don’t do these things because he is very unhappy.
We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.
I love my husband very much, and I don’t want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?
Please help.

The easy way out isn’t always easiest. I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal. I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread. Knowing the bread would take time. I started on it as soon as Doug left for work. As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything. As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl. Soon there was a sticky dough (面团) covered with ugly yellowish marks. Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn’t have to face Doug laughing at my work. I went on preparing the rest of the meal, and, when Doug got home, we sat down to have Cornish chicken （康瓦尔鸡肉――英国康瓦尔地方吃的一种点心，用鸡肉与马铃薯裹成半圆形烤成）with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise. The third time he left, I went to the window to see what he was doing. Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container. When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin. Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see. I felt cold. But I stepped closer and looked harder. Without doubt it was my work. The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母) made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing. It looked like some unknown being from outer space. I could see why Doug was so shaken. I had to admit what the “living thing” was and why it was there. I don’t know who was more embarrassed (尴尬) by the whole thing ― Doug or me.
68. The writer’s purpose in writing this story is ______.
A. to tell an interesting experience
B. to show the easiest way out of a difficulty
C. to describe the trouble facing a newly married woman
D. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books
69. Why did the woman’s attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful?
A. The canned orange had gone bad.
B. She didn’t use the right kind of flour.
C. The cookbook was hard to understand.
D. She did not follow the directions closely.
70. Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin?
A. She didn’t see the use of keeping it. B. She meant to joke with her husband.
C. She didn’t want her husband to see it. D. She hoped it would soon dry in the sun.
71. What made the dough in the bin look frightening?
A. The rising and falling movement. B. The strange-looking marks.
C. Its shape. D. Its size.
72. When Doug went out the third time, the woman looked out of the window because she was_____.
A. surprised at his being interested in the bin
B. afraid that he would discover her secret
C. unhappy that he didn’t enjoy the mead
D. curious to know what disturbed him

答案与点拨
1―5 ABCBA 6―10 BABBC 11―15 ABBCC 16―20 ABCAB
21. B。因为division后接定语between English-speaking Canadians and French-speaking Canadians， 所以前面要用定冠词the，表示特指；concern是泛指，前面要用不定冠词a。
22. B。此题考查介词in的宾语从句，而非定语从句，它无先行词，因此不能选C。也不是考查状语从句，语义上不通。此句译为“这两个地区很相似，在这一季节里两个地区都雨水充足”。以that引导作介词宾语从句的情况较少。例如：I know nothing about him except that he is from Beijing。在此，介词except 后接了以that引导的宾语从句。
23. D。考查it作形式宾语的用法。真正的宾语为后面的that从句。
24. C。从句意分析可知：Peter不擅长体育，但是当涉及到算术时，他是班上最好的学生。 所以，turn to（转向）、lead to（导致）及thanks to（由于，因为）均不符合题意。答案为C。又如：It comes to this: that I shall never trust him in future。实际意思是这样的：以后我永远不会相信他了。
35. D。“没有必要做某事”应译为“There is no need to do sth.”。 由I’ve got used to working with it on可知，应用turn off。turn down 指“关小一点”；turn up 指“开大一点”。如：I can hardly hear the radio. Would you please turn it up?
26. B。下句是说明事实，即表达“我昨天背诵了课文”的意义，所以不应该是表达语气。应是对前面动作recited的强调。
27. C。taste作“品尝”解时，是及物动词；作连系动词“尝起来”时，是不及物动词，后接形容词。根据题意，后一空应为形容词good。而第一个空应填well，well-prepared 意为“精心准备的”。
28. B。句意为“他又带了件衬衫，万一他再呆上一天。”other后要接复数名词。more后也要接复数名词。
29. B。come about 作“发生”讲，是不及物动词词组。若选occur to，则应为how did it occur to you that you …
30. C。“一个小孩能算出来的题而他们却算不出来”。表转折意义。
31. D。“增加体重”是现阶段正在发生的动作。“吃得太多”是一个事实，故应用现在时。
32. A。可以说get on a bus、sit on a bus，但不能说get a bus 、sit a bus。carry意为“运载”。如：The goods will be
carried by train to
33. B。pay off 在这里意为“值得的”，“没有白费的”，“成功的”。
34. A。在had better，would rather，may/might as well，rather than，cannot but，do more than等搭配之后，通常加不带to的不定式。故本题选A。句意：在一天当中，学生们做的远不止只是听课。
35. A。 as much A as B 指A和B一样，此处意为“蚂蚁作为一种生物和别的动物是一样的”。all other animals为复数，所以用are。
36．A。考查动词与名词搭配。surf the internet表示“上网”。
37. D。近义词辨析。neglect忽视，忽略；疏忽，玩忽，多指有意或无意地对所做工作、应负责任未给予充分注意，常强调“忘了做”这一结果；overlook忽视，忽略，未注意到，多指由于仓促或注意不够导致工作中出现“疏漏”这一结果， 不强调态度；omit省略，删节；遗漏，疏忽；ignore不顾，不理，忽视。强调有意地置之不理。本句是说我们不该置已经在耳畔一再响起的警钟而不顾，强调态度。
38．C。短语搭配。be alert for对……保持警觉，由其他几个词构成的短语是be on guard against警惕，提防； be careful小心，谨慎；be aware of意识到。
39．B。与Internet搭配的介词为on。
40．C。表示“在世界范围内”，用介词across。可根据介词含义选择。
41．D。语法题。分析该句不是复杂句，不选关系代词which；宾格代词them不能跟修饰语；又根据上下文，空缺词代替的是crimes，应选指示代词的复数形式those。
42. A。按照习惯用法，“知识产权”的英译为intellectual property rights。
43. C。逻辑推理题。本句是说随着计算机将世界变为“地球村”，黑客们也在发明新的网上犯罪形式，选连词as。
44. D。形似词辨析题。blossom花；gloom昏暗；忧郁；blooming开花的；booming激增，繁荣，迅速发展。
45．B。根据上下文语境及词语复现技巧解题。该句与下一分句形成对比，下文说的是网上犯罪危及“国家的政治、经济、文化秩序”，因此这里是其对“个人”的危害。
46．C。词义理解题。equality平等，相等；peace和平；security安全，保障．，侧重因受到保护或看护而感到安全，符合文意；safety安全，保险，强调无危险或损害的状态。
47．A。today’s为物主格，前面不能有介词；nowadays为副词，不作定语；contemporary意为“当代的，同时代的”，不符文意；选current现时的，当前的。
48．B。刚语法题。分析句子语法结构，所缺为谓语，而且主语为单数第三人称形式。
49．D。短语搭配题。A形式不正确；B引出的是原因状语从句；强干扰项C所构成的短语一般跟好的原因，侧重“多亏”之意。
50．C。词义理解题。本题可根据词汇同现技巧解题，下文很快出现短语formulate new laws and rules。
51．C。语法题。分析句子，空白处代替地点名词且在从句中傲状语，选where。
52．D。词义理解题。date给……注明日期；确定……的年代；与……约会；accelerate加快，使增速；upgrade提升，使升级；update更新，使现代化。
53．B。形似词辨析。imply暗示；implement使生效，履行；import进口，输入impose把……强加于；征税等。与法律同现的词应为B。
54．A。词义辨析题。manage管理，经营；设法对付；handle处理，应付；对待；process加工；处理；arrange安排，准备；整理。
55．C。考查介词短语搭配。between ... and ...是固定短语，表示“在……和……之间”。
56．D。根据文中第二段，有些人的精力高峰出现在下午和晚上，所以让他早起很困难，A项“他是个懒人”、B项“他不遵守自己的能量循环”、C项“他不能确知他的能量何时最低”都不正确。
57．A。文中第二段最后一句话说：“当夫妻意识到什么是能量循环以及家中每个成员能量循环状况时他们就会停止吵架。”言外之意，他们吵架是由于他们没意识到什么是能量循环，即选项A正确。B项“熟悉的独白”、C项“家庭成员的能量循环的改变”、D项“试图控制家中其它成员能量循环”均不正确。
58．C。第三段最后一句话给出了本题答案。早起有助于你在精力低落时仍然高效工作。A项“改变能量循环方式”、B项“克服懒惰”、D项“早睡”都不正确。
59．A。第四段第一句话说，慢点起床可以让你节省能量，所以选A项。B项“控制体温”、C项“让你做日常工作时集中精力”、D项“让你的能量循环得以控制”都不正确。
60．B。推理题。布什得到爆炸消息是在第一次撞击后，而在第二次撞击前，即应是两次撞击的中间。
61．D。词义解释。abort基本意是“流产”，延伸义是“停止、取消”。
62．D。“steps”意为“措施”，倒数第二段和第三段中，A、B、C项都有提及。只有D项不是与A、B、C并列的救急措施。
63．B。通读全文后，再将选项进行比较，即可推断出答案。文章中说他们于1991年结婚。结婚后十年的婚姻是幸福的。女主人在经过几年的工作之后，两个人的感情出现危机。这封信正写于这个时候。
64．D。从第二段中可获信息。
65．C。从短文原句At first，my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends，“My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for…”中即可得出答案。
66．D。从短文最后But his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job．中即可得出答案。
67．A。从最后一段中可获信息为：在女主人的工作取得成绩之后，男主人在思想上出现了问题。文章的第五自然段告诉了我们他们的婚姻有走向结束的可能性。
68．A。这是一道主旨题。从故事的发生和发展可知，作者写作的目的是在讲述一个有趣的故事。
69．D。 这是一道细节题。从“As I was not experience in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything.”可知，她没有按照书上的说明进行烹调。
70．C。这是一道细节题。从“Realizing l had been defeated，I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn’t have to face Doug laughing at my work．”可知，她把面团放人垃圾箱的目的是不让她丈夫看到她所做的事。
71．A。这是一道推理题。面团之所以吓人的原因是它在不停地动。
72．D。这是一道推理题。从故事的发展可知，她对她丈夫总是出去感到好奇。
73．C。这是一道细节题。从Martin Saltzman所说的话“But no one panicked．We passed the time telling stories and playing word games．”可知，他们都很镇定。
74．C。这是一道细节题。从Angela Carraro所说的话"The place was fun―and all night，in fact，for after we had closed，we let the people stay on and spend the night here．”可知，她饭店里生意比平时更好。
75．A。这是一道计算题。从第一天的下午5：27到第二天的5：25接近12小时。
76. 应将much划掉。因为看电视应为watch television。表示经常看电视应为watch television very often。
77. 将was划掉。因为be used to后接动名词doing sth.,意思是“习惯于做某事”。used to do sth．意思是“过去经常做某事”。这里的意思是过去经常看电视，所以 应用used to watch it every night。
78. 将watch改为watching。因为and连接的是两个并列句。watching TV为动名词短语作主语。
79. Unfortunate应为Unfortunately。副词作状语。例如：Luckily, I got the ticket。
80. 将among改为in。in my family是固定用法。among的意思是“在……中间”。 如：among the students.
81. 将the改为one。从下一行的another得知，此处是one … another ... 固定搭配。
82. 将am 改为was。从整个文章的时态可知，要用一般过去时，而不能用一般现在时。
83. a lot 后加of。 a lot of time意思是“许多时间”。
84. 正确。
85. 根据句意，此处的someone应改为everyone或everybody。意为现在家里的每个人都读书而不看电视了。
