Choosing an Occupation
One of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. There are some people, of course, who from the time they are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.
Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.
Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to give you detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.
Part IIReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
1.【解析】［Y］該句的意思是巨大的河流改道水利工程使得咸海縮小。從第二段的中間兩句話(huà)可得出結(jié)論。Thirty years ago, government planners diverted the rivers that flow into the sea in order to irrigate（provide water for）farmland. As a result, the sea has shrunk to half its original size, stranding ships on dry land.與原文意思相同。
2.【解析】［N］該句句意為:巨壩和灌溉工程的建設(shè)好處多于壞處。解題依據(jù)為本文第三段第二句話(huà)But many countries continue to build massive dams and irrigation systems, even though such projects can create more problems than they fix. （雖然產(chǎn)生更多問(wèn)題，許多國(guó)家仍繼續(xù)建巨壩和灌溉工程。）由此可知，壞處多于好處，所以該題與原文之義不合。
3.【解析】［Y］該句句意為:缺水的主要原因是人口增長(zhǎng)和水污染。本題解題依據(jù)可定位到本文第四段第一句話(huà) Growing populations will worsen problems with water... 及第十一段第一句話(huà)But almost everyone contributes to water pollution. 兩者都是水資源缺乏的原因，與原文之義相符。
4.【解析】［Y］該句句意為:美國(guó)人面臨的有關(guān)水的問(wèn)題為地下水的減少和污染。本題解題依據(jù)為第七段第二句話(huà)和第八段第三句話(huà)，這兩句話(huà)加在一起即為美國(guó)人所面臨的水資源方面的問(wèn)題，與原文之義相符。
5.【解析】［N］該句句意為:根據(jù)這篇文章，所有水的污染都來(lái)自于家庭廢棄物。本題解題依據(jù)為第十一段最后一句話(huà)...70 percent of the pollutants could be traced to household waste （百分之七十的污染物源于家庭廢棄物），據(jù)此，本題之意與原文之義不合。
6.【解析】［N］該句句意為:美國(guó)人將不會(huì)面臨缺水問(wèn)題。該題解題依據(jù)為文章第七段第二句話(huà) But Americans could face serious water shortages, too, especially in areas that rely on groundwater, 顯然本題之意與原文之義不合。
7.【解析】［NG］該句句意為:水利專(zhuān)家Gleick 提供了與水相關(guān)的最佳解決方案。根據(jù)本文第十三段第一句話(huà)所述，專(zhuān)家Gleick 并未提供任何最佳解決方案。
8.【解析】one?third 解題依據(jù)為第四段最后一句話(huà)：He fears that by the year 2025, as many as one?third of the world’s projected 8.3 billion people will suffer from water shortages.
9.【解析】glaciers and ice caps 解題依據(jù)為第五段第二句話(huà)：Two?thirds of this freshwater is locked in glaciers and ice caps.
10.【解析】water pollution 解題依據(jù)為第十段第二句話(huà)：Toxic chemicals pollute water when released untreated into rivers and lakes.

Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W:Ok, last night you were supposed to read an article about human bones. Are there any comments about it?
M:Well, to begin with, I was surprised to find out there was so much going on in bones. I always assumed they were pretty lifeless.
W:Well, that’s an assumption many people make. But the fact is bones are made of dynamic living tissue that requires continuous maintenance and repair.
M:Right. That’s one of the things I found so fascinating about the article the way the bones repair themselves.
W:Ok. So can you tell us how the bones repair themselves?
M:Sure. See, there are two groups of different types of specialized cells in the bone that work together to do it. The first group goes to an area of the bone that needs repair. This group of cells produces the chemical that actually breaks down the bone tissue, and leaves a hole in it. After that the second group of specialized cells comes and produces the new tissue that fills in the hole that was made by the first group.
W:Very good. This is a very complex process. In fact, the scientists who study human bones don’t completely understand it yet. They are still trying to find out how it all actually works. Specifically, because sometimes after the first group of cells leaves a hole in the bone tissue, for some reason, the second group doesn’t completely fill in the hole. And this can cause real problems. It can actually lead to a disease in which the bone becomes weak and is easily broken.
M:Ok, I get it. So if the scientists can figure out what makes the specialized cells work, maybe they can find a way to make sure the second group of cells completely fills the hole in the bone tissue every time. That’ll prevent the disease from ever occurring.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19.What is the discussion mainly about?
【解析】［C］對(duì)話(huà)一開(kāi)始就談?wù)撊祟?lèi)骨骼的問(wèn)題，女士說(shuō) But the fact is bones are made of dynamic living tissue that requires continuous maintenance and repair. 后面的對(duì)話(huà)都是針對(duì)這個(gè)話(huà)題展開(kāi)的討論，可見(jiàn)整個(gè)對(duì)話(huà)討論的話(huà)題是骨骼的自我修復(fù)能力。
20.What is the function of the first group of specialized cells discussed in the talk?
【解析】［C］男士解釋了第一組細(xì)胞的作用，第一組細(xì)胞生成一種化學(xué)物質(zhì)分解骨組織(This group of cells produces the chemical that actually breaks down the bone tissue…)，由此可見(jiàn)答案是They break down bone tissue.
21.What does the professor say about scientists who study the specialized cells in human bones?
【解析】［B］女士說(shuō)這種特殊細(xì)胞作用于人類(lèi)骨骼的過(guò)程相當(dāng)復(fù)雜，事實(shí)上，連研究人類(lèi)骨骼的科學(xué)家都不能完全了解這個(gè)過(guò)程。從這一句中可以知道：In fact, the scientists who study human bones don’t completely understand it yet. 所以答案即是這些科學(xué)家也不完全知道這些細(xì)胞如何工作。
22.According to the student, what is one important purpose of studying specialized cells in human bones?
【解析】［A］學(xué)習(xí)這些人類(lèi)骨骼中的特殊細(xì)胞的重要目的是為了學(xué)習(xí)如何預(yù)防骨頭疾病。從男士的這一句話(huà)中可看出：That’ll prevent the disease from ever occurring. 這樣可以在疾病發(fā)生之前預(yù)防疾病，可見(jiàn)［A］符合題意。
Conversation Two
M: Hi Diana, mind if I sit down?
W: Not at all, Jerry. How have you been?
M:Good. But I’m surprised to see you on the city bus. Your car in the shop?
W:No. I’ve just been thinking a lot about the environment lately. So I decided the air will be a lot cleaner if we all use public transportation when we could.
M:I’m sure you are right. The diesel bus isn’t exactly pollution free.
W:True. They’ll be running a lot cleaner soon. We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class.
M:What could the city do? Install pollution filters in all their buses?
W:They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on the fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their engines more efficient.
M: How?
W:Well, there is a material that’s a really good insulator. And a thin coat of it gets sprayed on the certain part of the engine.
M: An insulator?
W:Yeah. What it does is reflect back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.
M:So a lot less unburned fuel comes out to pollute the air.
W:And the bus will need less fuel. So with the saving on fuel cost, they say this will all pay for itself in just six months.
M:Sounds like people should all go out and get some this stuff to spray their car engines.
W:Well, it’s not really that easy. You see, normally, the materials are fine powder. To melt it so you can spray a coat of it on the engine parts, you first have to heat it over 10000 degrees and then, well, you get the idea. It’s not something you or I will be able to do ourselves.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23.What is the conversation mainly about?
【解析】［C］女士說(shuō)為了環(huán)保應(yīng)該多乘坐公共交通設(shè)備，因此之后的話(huà)題便圍繞如何節(jié)能保護(hù)環(huán)境的問(wèn)題展開(kāi)。這段對(duì)話(huà)主要討論的是公共汽車(chē)的節(jié)能問(wèn)題，討論了如何讓公共汽車(chē)燃料更有效的利用，因此［C］符合題意。
24.Why did the woman decide to ride the city bus?
【解析】［B］對(duì)話(huà)開(kāi)頭部分就交代了此題答案，那位女士說(shuō)她不開(kāi)自己的車(chē)而乘坐公車(chē)是為了降低環(huán)境污染。從她提到的So I decided the air will be a lot cleaner if we all use public transportation when we could 即可得知。
25.What is the new material?
【解析】［D］ 這種新的材料是在引擎部位噴灑的一種絕緣材料。從女士的話(huà)中there is a material that’s a really good insulator. And a thin coat of it gets sprayed on the certain part of the engine即可得出。這種材料的用途是將燃料燃燒的熱量反射回去，從而達(dá)到提高效率的結(jié)果。
Section B
Passage One
A guide dog is a dog especially trained to guide a blind person. Dogs chosen for such training must show good intelligence, physical fitness, and responsibility.
At the age of about fourteen months, a guide dog begins an intensive course that lasts from three to five months. It becomes accustomed to the leather harness and stiff leather handle it will wear when guiding its blind owner. The dog learns to watch traffic and to cross streets safely. It also learns to obey any command that might lead its owner into danger.
The most important part of the training course is a four?week program in which the guide dog and its future owner learn to work together. However, many blind people are unsuited by personality to work dogs. Only about a tenth of the blind find a guide dog useful.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. How long does the intensive course last?
【解析】［A］文中明確提到an intensive course that lasts from three to five months，因此正確答案為 ［A］。
27.Which of the following is not a necessary skill guide dogs have to learn?
【解析】［D］答案依據(jù)是The dog learns to watch traffic and to cross streets safely. It also learns to obey any command that might lead its owner into danger. 從這兩句中可看出看家不屬于導(dǎo)盲犬訓(xùn)練范圍內(nèi)的技能。
28.How long does the most important training course last?
【解析】［C］最重要的訓(xùn)練課程持續(xù)四周。文中明確指出了本題答案。The most important part of the training course is a four?week program，從此句中即可看出。
Passage Two
People dreams four to six times a night. They dream while they are in the REM stage of sleep, which means rapid eye movement stage in one’s sleep. Sleepers go into the REM stage about every 90 minutes. The first dream of the night may last about ten minutes. Each dream gets a little longer. The last dream of the night may be an hour long.
People need their dreams. Younger children spend more time dreaming. Babies spend almost half of their sleep in the REM stage.
One experiment showed that everyone needs to dream. Doctors gave some people sleeping pills. These sleeping pills didn’t let them going to REM sleep. After a few nights without dreams, they began to feel bad. They became angry easily, they worried a lot, and they wanted to fight with everyone. Then they stopped taking the sleeping pills. They all began to dream all night for a few nights to catch up.
Why do people dream? Dreams give them time to find the answers to some of their problems. If they think they will have difficult problems the next day, they may spend more time on REM sleep the night before. In their dreams, they may find an answer to their problems.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29.How often does a person dream each night?
【解析】［B］文章一開(kāi)始即交待了一個(gè)人一晚上要做夢(mèng)四到六次。從第一句就可看出People dreams four to six times a night.因此，答案為 ［B］。
30.What is true according to this passage?
【解析】［D］安眠藥會(huì)阻止人們進(jìn)入REM睡眠狀態(tài)。These sleeping pills didn’t let them going to REM sleep.可看出 ［D］ 項(xiàng)正確。
31.Why do people dream?
【解析】［D］文中明確給出了答案Dreams give them time to find the answers to some of their problems.因?yàn)樵趬?mèng)中人可以找到自己的問(wèn)題的答案。

47.【解析】［C］20世紀(jì)早期，大多數(shù)美國(guó)城市和城鎮(zhèn)都有一條主街道。20世紀(jì)早期即用early in the 1900s。
48.【解析】［I］這條街道排成一列，街道兩邊都是各式各樣的商店。various 意為“不同的、各種各樣的”
49.【解析】［G］另外，一些商店還提供服務(wù)。提供服務(wù)可用固定的搭配 offer services。
50.【解析】［B］所填詞take 才能與后面的詞place搭配，take place 為固定詞組，意為“發(fā)生”。But in the 1950s, a change began to take place 意為20世紀(jì)50年代發(fā)生了巨大的變化。

Passage One
【短文大意】本文主要講述文化背景對(duì)商業(yè)運(yùn)作的影響，文中列舉了商界中存在的對(duì)于文化多樣性的兩種觀點(diǎn)。
57.【解析】［C］推斷題。意為“在商業(yè)中怎樣對(duì)待文化有著不同意見(jiàn)”。 文化在商業(yè)中是一個(gè)很具挑戰(zhàn)性的因素。不同的國(guó)家與地區(qū)可能會(huì)有不同的文化體系。在商業(yè)中，應(yīng)該怎樣對(duì)待不同的文化，商業(yè)界存在著不同的看法。
58.【解析】［Ａ］細(xì)節(jié)題。Pepsi采納的是國(guó)際化的商業(yè)風(fēng)格，這與那些主張國(guó)際化的派別的意見(jiàn)是相一致的。
59.【解析】［C］推斷題。意為“承認(rèn)商業(yè)世界中文化的多元性”。兩個(gè)派別都承認(rèn)商業(yè)世界中文化的多元性。他們的不同在于，如何對(duì)待不同的文化，應(yīng)該搞國(guó)際化還是對(duì)不同的文化采取不同的策略。
60.【解析】［D］主旨題。由文中的例子可以知道，作者主要關(guān)心的并不是研究多種文化形態(tài)，而是文化背景對(duì)商業(yè)運(yùn)作的影響。所以D是正確答案。
61.【解析】［Ｂ］細(xì)節(jié)題。意為“都具有耐心這一素質(zhì)”。即他們并不急于對(duì)號(hào)入座而是依據(jù)最基本的商業(yè)原則謹(jǐn)慎地建立自己的運(yùn)行模式。
Passage Two
【短文大意】本文主要講述壘球的特征及欣賞。
62.【解析】［D］主旨題。文章第一段簡(jiǎn)述了人們對(duì)壘球所持的.偏見(jiàn)——認(rèn)為它毫無(wú)活力、從容和緩，不像橄欖球那樣高潮迭起、令人激動(dòng)。文章的第二、三、四、五段探討了壘球的根本特征及欣賞角度，文章的最后一句話(huà)用一個(gè)比喻概括了壘球的魅力：“如果橄欖球是一曲交響樂(lè)的話(huà)，那么，壘球中所表現(xiàn)出來(lái)的運(yùn)動(dòng)恰似一曲優(yōu)美的室內(nèi)樂(lè)。”可見(jiàn)，本文主要探討的是壘球的特點(diǎn)及其欣賞。 A不對(duì)，第一段也確實(shí)提到了不同觀眾對(duì)不同運(yùn)動(dòng)形式的偏好，但這只是用以引出對(duì)壘球的特征及欣賞的討論。
63.【解析】［C］細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第一段指出：許多人不喜歡壘球，一提起壘球這些人就打哈欠甚至皺眉頭。對(duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō)，看壘球意味著眼巴巴地觀望著身著運(yùn)動(dòng)裝(outfit)的人呆立在球場(chǎng)上，東瞧瞧西望望，很少有什么(激動(dòng)人心的)事發(fā)生——沒(méi)意思透了。他們認(rèn)為這樣的運(yùn)動(dòng)更適合上個(gè)世紀(jì)的人的口味，不像橄欖球那樣充滿(mǎn)活力。 A意為：“它只適合老年人的口味。”注意：原文說(shuō)的是適合上個(gè)世紀(jì)的人的口味，二者意味不一樣。 D意為：“它矯揉造作、滑稽可笑。”這與說(shuō)它gentlemanly(具有紳士風(fēng)度，矜持，即：沒(méi)有沖撞或拼搶)不一樣。
64.【解析】［B］推斷題。第三段指出，在電視上，壘球運(yùn)動(dòng)被切換成不同角度的畫(huà)面，而且不斷地使用重放、特寫(xiě)等電視制作技術(shù)，這破壞了該運(yùn)動(dòng)的整體運(yùn)動(dòng)感，使觀眾無(wú)法將自己投入(project)到運(yùn)動(dòng)中去，以體會(huì)到這種寓動(dòng)于靜的運(yùn)動(dòng)之美。電視做不到這一點(diǎn)(The TV won’t do it for you)，因此，電視上的壘球比賽看上去(seems)孤孤單單、冷冷清清、沉沉靜靜、慢慢騰騰。C、D不對(duì)，作者僅指出了不同運(yùn)動(dòng)有不同運(yùn)動(dòng)的特征，并未說(shuō)哪種運(yùn)動(dòng)優(yōu)于哪種。參閱文章最后一句。
65.【解析】［B］推斷題。第四段整個(gè)都在描述壘球場(chǎng)上的一個(gè)場(chǎng)景：拿三壘的運(yùn)動(dòng)員假設(shè)對(duì)方全投出好球，做好了一切準(zhǔn)備，但是對(duì)方投出的并不是好球。所以在那時(shí)候他的準(zhǔn)備做不做都不會(huì)影響比賽結(jié)果。他說(shuō)本來(lái)可以閉上眼睛，意思就是B項(xiàng)所寫(xiě)的。A、C、D都不符合作者的意圖。這道題需要完整地了解第四段內(nèi)容才能作好選擇。
66.【解析】［D］推斷題。在本文中，作者主要探討了壘球的特征及欣賞，作者著重指出的是：只有根據(jù)壘球的特征來(lái)欣賞它，才能體會(huì)到它的魅力。在他看來(lái)，觀察到壘球比賽中運(yùn)動(dòng)員的各種動(dòng)作、壘球位之間的關(guān)系等是欣賞它的關(guān)鍵(第三段第二句)。只有從整體來(lái)把握它，才能看到每一個(gè)小的動(dòng)作、每一個(gè)眼神乃至于“靜止”的意義，也只有這樣，才能全身心地投入比賽中，欣賞到它的魅力。可見(jiàn)，作者對(duì)壘球有很深的理解而且非常喜愛(ài)壘球。主要參考第三、四、五段。
