Man and Computer
Ever since the birth of it, the computer has largely changed human being’s life and there has been a hot debate about its effects on humans. Undeniably, computers have taken the place of humans in many areas and it seems that computers begin to think like man, but this does not necessarily lead to the danger that man will think like computers.
The reasons, in my opinion, are as follows. Firstly, when computers release human fromrepetitive tasks, humans themselves can spend more time on creative works, such as scientific research, which require imagination and cannot be completed by computers. Meanwhile, thanks to computers, humans get more spare time with their friends and family, which enhances their happiness. Moreover, even though computers can work automatically, the premise is that the program, which is written by humans, has been installed in it.
In conclusion, humans, unlike computers, have creative ability, emotional desires andsocial bounds. Thus, I don’t think that there will be the danger that man will begin to think like the computer.

Man and Computer
It is believed that the computer is bringing the world into a brand new era. At the time the computer was invented, scientists, marveling at its calculating speed, felt that they had created a miracle. Nowadays, the function of the computer is no longer confined to calculation; it permeates people’s daily lives and has become an inseparable part of human society.
People become so heavily dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine the life without computers. Therefore, some people are worried that “The real danger is not that the computer will think like man, but man will think like the computer.” Their concern does make sense. Indeed, some people spend such a long time working on computers that they have few interactions with people in real life. According to a research, too many hours in front of a computer may lead to a poker face and interpersonal isolation. This fact should arouse our attention, because unlike computers, human beings are social creatures that need emotionalconnections with others.
Yet, it is also unnecessary for us to be overwhelmed by the negative impacts of computers. After all, we humans are intelligent and will be able to figure out better ways to make improvements.
本次六級作文的題目是人與電腦，對“真正的危險不是電腦開始像人一樣思考，而是人開始像電腦一樣思考�！边@句話發(fā)表自己的觀點。題目不算新，一般考生對此都比較熟悉，所以對考生來說難度不大。寫好這篇作文，需要抓住兩點，一是緊跟題目要求，即對這句引言做出評論，二是在評論的基礎上要亮出自己的觀點。
范文第一段首先 陳述電腦自發(fā)明以來對人們生活的深刻的影響， 從而為第二段內容的陳述奠定基礎。
第二段第一句話先自然地過渡，引出題干中的引言。對引言作出評價：這樣的擔憂確實不是空穴來風。然后用例子證明現(xiàn)代生活中電腦已經(jīng)對人們的思維和習慣帶來的負面影響。呼吁大家引起重視，因為人畢竟不同于電腦，是有情感需求的。
最后一段是一個轉折， 提出對于電腦對人的影響也不用太悲觀，因為人畢竟是有智慧、有主觀能動性的， 一定會想出改善不足的方法。這樣的轉折使作者的觀點更全面、有說服力。

On Maintaining Trust
Trust is the most frequently used word when we are talking about interpersonal relationships. However, it is hard to build trust but easy to destroy it. Therefore, how to build and maintain trust is very important for us. In my opinion, some factors play a primary role in it.
First comes honesty. There’s an old saying in Chinese: once bitten, twice shy. Thus, never lie to your partners. If they find out you’re lying or cheating, the existing trust will be broken. Once broken, it’s always hard to rebuild it. Promise-keeping is the second one. If you always break your promise, you will not be trusted by others any more. Another important aspect is attitude. People with good attitude are always welcome. They show their good manners,patience, modesty, willingness to communicate and, most important of all, sincerity to others, which contributes greatly to eliminating apathy and coldness.
There are, still, other influential factors. However, from my perspective, honesty, promise-keeping and good attitude stand out among them.

On maintaining trust
Trust is a key strategy for building effective relationships with the people we come intocontact with, including our team members, peers and customers. If you want to have a positive influence over anyone or anything, you need to earn trust first.
As the level of trust develops, however, there will be situations and incidents that shake the foundations that have been built. Therefore, maintain trust is even more important. There are several keys to maintain trust. First is integrity. You need to remain honest and morallyupright. The second is stick to your words. If you say you would do something, then do it, otherwise never say it. For once you break your promises, you can hardly reestablish it.
Trust is built and maintained by many small actions over time. Trust is telling the truth, even when it is difficult, and being truthful, authentic, and trustworthy in your dealings with other people. Only by maintain trust can one make real achievements and enjoy a rewardinglife.

Amid all the job losses of the Great Recession, there is one category of worker that the economic disruption has been good for: nonhumans.
From self-service checkout lines at the supermarket to industrial robots armed with saws and taught to carve up animal carcasses in slaughter-houses, these ever-more-intelligentmachines are now not just assisting workers but actually kicking them out of their jobs.
Automation isn’t just affecting factory workers, either. Some law firms now use artificialintelligence software to scan and read mountains of legal documents, work that previouslywas performed by highly paid human lawyers.
“Robots continue to have an impact on blue-collar jobs, and white-collar jobs are under attack by microprocessors,” says Edward Leamer, an economics professor at UCLA’s AndersonSchool of Management and director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast, a survey of the U.S. and California economies. Leamer says the recession permanently wiped out 2.5 million jobs. U.S. gross domestic product has climbed back to pre-recession levels, meaning we’re producing as much as before, only with 6 percent fewer workers. To be sure, robotics are not the only job killers out there, with outsourcing stealing far more gigs than automation.
Jeff Burnstein, president of the Robotics Industry Association, a trade group in Ann Arbor, Mich., argues that robots actually save U.S. jobs. His logic: companies that embraceautomation might use fewer workers, but that’s still better than firing everyone and moving the work overseas.
It’s not that robots are cheaper than humans, though often they are. It’s that they are better. “In some cases the quality requirements are so stringent that even if you wanted to have a human do the job, you couldn’t,” Burnstein says.
Same goes for surgeons, who are using robotic systems to perform an ever-growing list of operations—not because the machines save money but because, thanks to the greaterprecision of robots, the patients recover in less time and have fewer complications, says Dr. Myriam Curet.
Surgeons may survive the robot invasion, but others at the hospital might not be so lucky, as iRobot, maker of the Roomba, a robot vacuum cleaner, has been showing off Ava, a three-foot-tall droid on wheels that carries a tablet computer. iRobot reckons Ava could be used as a courier in a hospital. And once you’re home, recovering, Ava could let you talk to your doctor, so there’s no need to send someone to your house. That “mobile telepresence” could be useful at the office. If you’re away on a trip, you can still attend a meeting. Just connect via videoconferencing software, so your face appears on Ava’s screen.
Is any job safe? I was hoping to say “journalist,” but researchers are already developing algorithms that can gather facts and write a news story. Which means that a few years from now, a robot could be writing this column. And who will read it? Well, there might be a lot of us hanging around with lots of free time on our hands.
52. What do we learn from the first few paragraphs?
答案：The robotic industry has benefited from the economic recession.
53. What caused the greatest loss of jobs in America?
答案：Moving production to other countries.
54. What does Jeff Burnstein say about robots?
答案：They compete with human workers.
55. What are robotic systems replacing surgeons in more and more operations according to Dr. Myriam Curet?
答案：They beat humans in precision.
56. What does the author imply about robotics?
答案：It will be applied in any field imaginable.
【解析】這是一篇討論機器人取代人類的科技說明文，話題是考生比較熟悉的科技類文章。文中指出在大蕭條時期眾多失業(yè)的情況下，有一類工人卻受益于經(jīng)濟混亂：機器人。機器人和業(yè)務外包比自動化分流了更多的崗位。但是專家指出，并不是因為機器人比人廉價，而是它們比人類更優(yōu)秀。在很多具體工作上，人類無法做到像機器人那樣精確。文章最后一段探討還有那些崗位能免于機器人取代的危機，作者本以為記者行業(yè)可以，但是結果卻不是這樣，幾乎所有崗位都面臨這種趨勢，從而緊扣文章原文題目和主題：Who Needs Humans?人類還有何用?
本文選材雖然是科技相關，但是詞匯都比較簡單，沒有太偏的詞匯。而這幾道題相比而言，難度又低了不少，很多選項直接可以通過對比原文排除，如54題談到對機器人的看法，其中B選項說機器人比人類工作更省錢更便宜，而文中已經(jīng)特別清晰的表明立場，It’s not that …此外，詞匯復現(xiàn)也能幫助大家準備做對題目，如第52題的答案中benefit from就對應了原文中的be good for，所以很快很輕松的就選出來了。因此考生只要明確文中幾個人物各自的觀點，勾畫好關鍵詞，整體上來講，5道題都做對基本可以做到的
深度閱讀SB_2
You've now heard it so many times, you can probably repeat it in your sleep. President Obama will no doubt make the point publicly when he gets to Beijing: the Chinese need to spend more; they need to consume more; they need — believe it or not — to become more like Americans, for the sake of the global economy.
And it's all true. But the other side of that equation is that the U.S. needs to save more. For the moment, American households actually are doing so. After the personal-savings rate dipped to zero in 2005, the shock of the economic crisis last year prompted people to snap shut their wallets.
In China, the household-savings rate exceeds 20%. It is partly for policy reasons. As we've seen, wage earners are expected to care for not only their children but also their aging parents. And there is, to date, only the flimsiest(脆弱的) of publicly-funded health care and pension systems, which increases incentives for individuals to save while they are working. But China is a society that has long esteemed personal financial prudence(謹慎)for centuries. There is no chance that will change anytime soon, even if the government creates a better social safety netand successfully encourages greater consumer spending.
Why does the U.S. need to learn a little frugality(節(jié)儉)? Because healthy savings rates are one of the surest indicators of a country's long-term financial health. High savings lead, over time, to increased investment, which in turn generates productivity gains, innovation and job growth. In short, savings are the seed corn of a good economic harvest.
The U.S. government thus needs to act as well. By running constant deficits, it is dis-saving, even as households save more. Peter Orszag, Obama's Budget Director, recently called the U.S. budget deficits unsustainable and he's right. To date, the U.S. has seemed unable to have what Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has called an "adult conversation" about the consequences of spending so much more than is taken in. That needs to change. And though Hu Jintao and the rest of the Chinese leadership aren't inclined to lecture visiting Presidents, he might gently hint that Beijing is getting a little nervous about the value of the dollar — which has fallen 15% since March, in large part because of increasing fears that America's debt load is becoming unmanageable.
That's what happens when you're the world's biggest creditor: you get to drop hints like that, which would be enough by themselves to create international economic chaos if they were ever leaked. (Every time any official in Beijing deliberately publicly about seeking an alternativeto the U.S. dollar for the $2.1 trillion China holds in reserve, currency traders have a heart attack.) If Americans saved more and spent less, consistently over time, they wouldn't have to worry about all that.
【點評】
本文講述了在全球經(jīng)濟危機的背景下，美國人要向中國人學習勤儉，學會儲蓄。為什么這樣做呢?文章中指出良好的儲蓄率能夠推動經(jīng)濟的繁榮。但即使美國家庭開始儲蓄更多，如果政府常年赤字的話，對美國來說還是“反儲蓄”的。所以文章的目的是敦促美國政府降低赤字，并在文末再一次強調要堅持向中國學習存多花少，
57. How did the economic crisis affect Americans?
They had to tighten their belts.
【解析】細節(jié)題。從原文第二段最后一句話“the shock of the economic crisis last year prompted people to snap shut their wallets”可見，經(jīng)濟危機使得美國民眾關緊錢包，即少花錢，也就是答案中tighten their belts(勒緊腰帶，節(jié)省開支)的意思。所以正確答案為A。
58. What should be done to encourage Chinese people to consume?
Improving China’s social security system.
【解析】細節(jié)題。從原文中的“even if the government creates a better social safety net and successfully encourages greater consumer spending”可見，如要鼓勵中國人消費更多，這需要提高社會安全系統(tǒng)。
59. What does the author mean by saying “savings are the seed corn of a good economic harvest” (Line 4, Para. 4)?
A healthy savings rate promotes economic prosperity.
【解析】細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干提示，定位至第四段最后一句，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)這句話是前面幾句話的概括，那根據(jù)前面“High savings lead, over time, to increased investment, which in turn generatesproductivity gains, innovation and job growth.”可知，高儲蓄率能夠促進投資，進而促進生產(chǎn)率、創(chuàng)新和崗位增長，即促進經(jīng)濟的繁榮。所以正確答案為D。
60. In what circumstances do currency traders become scared?
When Beijing mentions in public the huge debts America owes China.
【解析】細節(jié)題。從原文中的“Every time any official in Beijing deliberately publicly about seeking an alternative to the U.S. dollar for the $2.1 trillion China holds in reserve, currency traders have a heart attack.”可知，每當中國政府公開提到美國欠我國的大量債務，貨幣交易員們就擔驚受怕。因為本段一開始提到作為最大的債權國，財政上的漏洞會造成經(jīng)濟的混亂。所以正確答案為D。
61. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
To urge the American government to cut defictis.
【解析】主旨題。縱觀全文，作者一直在強調美國應該向中國學習勤儉，文中第五段的第一句話“By running constant deficits, it is dis-saving, even as households save more.”也給到我們提示，既然長期運行赤字是不利于儲蓄的，那美國政府應該做的是降低赤字。所以正確答案是A。
這是一篇取自《紐約時報》的文章。講述的是面對現(xiàn)代科技帶來的信息爆炸，應該如何平靜的審視自己的內心世界，找到自我，而不被信息的洪流所淹沒。本次快速閱讀的文章還是延續(xù)了以往的特點，信息量較大，結構較散，但整個命題依舊遵循了文章難，題目簡單的規(guī)律。做題的要點就是，在題干中找到定位詞，回原文中定位細節(jié)信息。
Part III Listening Comprehension
Section A
11.
M: I’d like to go camping with you this weekend, but I don’t have a sleeping bag.
W: No problem. You can count on me to get one for you. My family has tons of campinggear.
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案：She can lend the man a sleeping bag.
【解析】這是一道較為簡單的推理題，前提是考生需知道camping gear表示“野餐用具，露營裝備”，由此可知，camping gear包括sleeping bag，即女士能借給男士一個睡袋，此題的設置稍微繞了個小彎，為考生解題設置了一定難度。go camping：去野餐，去露營;sleeping bag：睡袋。
12.
M: I know I promise to drive you to the airport next Thursday, but I’m afraid something has come up. They’ve called a special meeting at work.
W: No big deal. Karen said she was available as a back-up.
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案: Karen can take her to the airport.
【解析】此題為細節(jié)題。從對話中可知，男士下周四臨時有事不能送女士去機場了，女士回答說Karen有空。back-up：n. 備用，備份，考生如果知道這個單詞的意思，對整個對話的理解會有幫助。
13.
W: Have you saved enough money for a trip to Hawaii?
M: Not even close. My uncle must put the brakes on my travelling plans.
Q: What does the man mean?
答案：He can’t afford to go traveling yet.
【解析】此題為推理題。從男士的回答“我叔叔對我的旅行計劃加以限制了。”中可推斷出，這位男士還沒有足夠的錢去旅行。put the brakes on sth.表示“對……加以限制”，即使考生不知道這個短語的引申含義，但聽到brake“剎車”應該也能大概判斷出來答案。
14.
M: I’m starving. Do we still have any pie left from the dinner yesterday?
W: Oh, Julia invited her friends over in the afternoon and they ate it all.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
答案：The man has to find something else to eat.
【解析】此題為簡單的推理題。從對話中可知，女士回答說Julie下午邀請了她的朋友，他們把剩的餅都吃光了，由此可推斷出這位男士不得不找別的東西吃。starving：adj. 饑餓的。
15.
W: Three letters of recommendation are required to apply to graduate schools. I was wondering if the one professor Smith wrote for me last year could still be used.
M: It’s a bit dated. You’d better submit a recent one.
Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
答案：Present a new letter of reference.
【解析】此題為細節(jié)題。只要考生抓住這位男士回答中的關鍵詞dated和recent，就不難找出正確答案，而且，整個答句也很短，均是簡單句，易于考生理解。letter of recommendation和letter ofreference意思相似，均可表示“推薦信”。
16.
W: I’ve noticed that you spend a lot of time tending your garden. Would you like to join our gardening club? We meet every other Wednesday.
M: Oh, thanks for the invitation, but this is how I relax. I’d rather not make it something formal and structured.
Q: What can we infer about the man?
答案：He declines to join the gardening club.
【解析】此題為暗示推理題，有一定難度。抓住問題中的關鍵詞“infer”，這位男士暗示了什么?從男士的回答“謝謝邀請，但這是我放松的方式，我寧愿我的花園不那么條條框框”中可推斷出，這位男士間接拒絕了參加園藝俱樂部的邀請。
17.
M: I heard the recent sculpture exhibit was kind of disappointing.
W: That’s right. I guess a lot of other people feel the way I do about modern art.
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案：Many people do not appreciate modern art.
【解析】此題為簡單的推理題。只要考生能理解女士的回答“我猜許多其他人對現(xiàn)代藝術和我的感覺是一樣的。”，即可選出答案，而且答句中沒有一個生難單詞。sculpture exhibit：雕塑展。
18.
M: Bob is running for chairman of the student union. Would you vote for him?
W: Oh, I can’t decide right now because I have to find out more about the other candidates.
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案：Bob cannot count on her vote.
【解析】此題為推理題。這位女士回答說她現(xiàn)在還沒決定選誰，因為她還要看看其他候選人的資料和表現(xiàn)，由此可推斷出，Bob不能依賴這位女士的選票。run for：競選;chairman of the student union：學生會主席;vote for：投票贊成。
Conversation One
W: I don’t know what to do. I can’t seem to get anyone in the hospital to listen to my complaints and this outdated equipment is dangerous. Just look at it.
M: Hmm, uh, are you trying to say that it presents a health hazard?
W: Yes, I am. The head technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administrationto replace it, but they are trying to cut costs.
M: You are pregnant, aren’t you?
W: Yes, I am. I made an effort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department, but he urged me not to complain too loudly. Because the administration is more likely to replace me than an X-ray equipment, I’m afraid to refuse to work. But I’m more afraid to expose my unborn child to the radiation.
M: I see what you mean. Well, as your union representative, I have to warn you that it would take quite a while to force management to replace the old machines and attempt to get you transferred may or may not be successful.
W: Oh, what am I supposed to do then?
M: Workers have the legal right to refuse certain unsafe work assignments under two federal laws, the Occupation or Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act. But the requirements of either of the Acts may be difficult to meet.
W: Do you think I have a good case?
M: If you do lose your job, the union will fight to get it back for you along with back pay, your lost income. But you have to be prepared for a long wait, maybe after two years
Q19. What does the woman complain about?
Q20. What has the woman asked her supervisor to do?
Q21. What does the man say about the two federal laws?
Q22. What will the union do if the woman loses her job?
【答案】
19. The health hazard at her work place.
20. Transfer her to another department.
21. Their requirements may be difficult to meet.
22. Try to help her to get it back.
點評：
本篇長對話是關于一名懷孕的員工就工作中的輻射傷害向工會投訴。對話一開篇女士先抱怨自己工作的醫(yī)院無人聽她申訴有關機器已過時，會造成身體傷害的問題，因為醫(yī)院想要降低成本。然后她提到自己有向主管提出轉調部門的要求，然而遭到拒絕。主管還告誡她，醫(yī)院寧愿換掉她，讓他人工作，也不會更換機器。于是工會代表告訴她轉調部門確實可能不會成功。同時要想利用目前的法案來解決這一問題，也會很難實現(xiàn)。最后指出，除非她真正丟失工作，工會才能拿起法律武器幫她討薪。
本對話考生雖然對輻射造成身體傷害的話題并不陌生，但整個對話中部分單詞可能還是會造成不少聽力困擾。比如：health hazard(健康傷害)中的hazard;X-ray equipment(X光儀器)中的X-ray和兩大法案的名稱雖不難，但也容易混淆大家的視聽，而誤抓重點。
Conversation Two
W: Mr. Green, is it fair to say that negotiation is an art?
M: Well, I think it’s both an art and science. You can prepare for a negotiation quite scientifically, but the execution of the negotiation has quite a lot to do with one’s artisticquality. The scientific part of a negotiation is in determining your strategy. What do you want out of it? What can you give? Then of course there are tactics. How do you go about it? Do you take an opening position in a negotiation which differs from the eventual goal you are headingfor? And then of course there are the behavioral aspects.
W: What do you mean by the behavioral aspects?
M: Well, that’s I think where the art comes in. In your behavior, you can either be an actor. You can pretend that you don’t like things which you are actually quite pleased about. Or you can pretend to like things which you are quite happy to do without. Or you can be the honest type negotiator who’s known to his partners in negotiation and always plays everything straight. But the artistic part of negotiation I think has to do with responding immediately to cues one gets in the process of negotiation. These can be verbal cues or even body language. This is where the artistic quality comes in.
W: So really, you see two types of negotiator then, the actor or the honest one.
M: That’ right. And both can work. I would say the honest negotiator can be quite effectivein some circumstances. In other circumstances you need an actor.
Q23. When is a scientific approach best embodied in a negotiation according to the man?
Q24. In what way is a negotiator like an actor according to the man?
Q25. What does the man say about the two types of negotiator?
【答案】
23. In the preparatory phase.
24. He behaves in a way contrary to his real intention.
25. Both can succeed depending on the specific situation.

本長對話主要是關于談判的藝術性和科學性。談判的科學性部分主要體現(xiàn)在談判策略，而談判的藝術性則體現(xiàn)在表現(xiàn)上。這里可以歸為兩類，一是“演技派”，二是“誠實派”。另外，談判的藝術性還與對談判過程中獲得的口頭暗示、肢體語言進行及時反應有關。最后男士指出根據(jù)不同場合，無論是“誠實派”，或是“演技派”談判者都能起到各自的效果。
本對話中的關鍵詞有：negotiation：談判;strategy：策略;behavioral：行為的。
Section B
Passage 1
A scientific team is studying the thinking ability of eleven and half month old children. The test is a simple one. The baby watches a sort of show on a small stage. In Act One of the show, a yellow cube is lifted from a blue box, and moved across the stage. Then it is returned to the box. This is repeated 6 times. Act Two is similar except that the yellow cube is smaller. Baby boys do not react at all to the difference and the size of the cube. But girls immediately become excited. The scientists interpret the girls’ excitement as meaning they are trying tounderstand what they have just seen. They are wondering why Act Two is odd and how it differs from Act One. In other words, the little girls are reasoning. This experiment certainly does not definitely prove that girls start to reason before boys, but it provides a clue that scientists would like to study more carefully. Already it is known that bones, muscles and nerves develop faster in baby girls. Perhaps it is early nerve development that makes some infant girls show more intelligence than infant boys. Scientists have also found that nature seems to give another boost to girls. Baby girls usually talk at an earlier age than boys do. Scientists think that there is a physical reason for this. They believe that the nerve endings in the left side of the brain develop faster in girls than in boys, and it is this side of the brain that strongly influences an individual’s ability to use language and remember things.
Q26. What is the difference between Act One and Act Two in the test?
答案：The size of the objects shown.
Q27. How do the scientists interpret their observation from the experiment?
答案： Girls seem to start reasoning earlier than boys.
Q28. What does the speaker say about the experiment?
答案： It may simulate scientists to make further studies.
Q29. According to scientists, what is another advantage given to girls by nature?
答案： They talk at an early age.

Passage 2
A super attendant of the city municipal building, Dillia Adorno, was responsible for presenting its new security plan to the public. City employees, citizens and reporters gathered in the hall to hear her describe the plan. After outlining the main points she would cover, sheassured the audience that she would be happy to answer questions at the end of herpresentation. Dillia realized the plan was expensive and potentially controversial. So she was not surprised to see a number of hands go up as soon as she finished speaking. An employasked, “Would the new system create long lines to get into the building like the line in the airport security checks?” Dillia had anticipated this question and had an answer ready. After repeating the question, she explained that the sufficient number of security guards would be working at peak hours to speed things along. The next question was more confrontational.”Where was the money come from to pay for all of this?”The journalists who ask the question seem hostile. But Dillia was careful not to adopt the defensive tone. She stated that the money would come from the city’s general budget. “I know these are tide times”, she added, “But everyone agrees on the importance of safe guarding our employees and members of the public who come into the building.” Near the end of the 25 minutes she has said, Dillia said she would take two more questions. When those were finished, she concluded the session with a brief restatement of how the new system will improve security and peace of mind in the municipal building.
Question 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. What is the focus of Dillia Adorno’s presentation?
答案：The new security plan for the municipal building.
31. What question had Dillia Adorno anticipated?
答案： Whether the security checks would create long queues at peak hours.
32. What did the speakers think of the question from the journalist?
答案： Confrontational

本文描寫一位政府官員介紹了一項新的安保計劃，并回答了在場人員的提問，類似于一場新聞發(fā)布會。計劃成本較高，而且可能頗具爭議。本文詳細闡述了兩個提問。第一個問題是Dillia預見到的，但第二個記者的提問是有對抗性的，即使confrontational這個詞我們聽不懂也沒關系，可以從下文的其他詞匯中推斷，如hostile 有敵意的，而針對這個問題，Dillia讓自己盡可能不采取defensive的態(tài)度，既然要采取防衛(wèi)的態(tài)度，那記者的提問一定是在政府的對立面的，因此從defensive一詞也可以判斷出記者的態(tài)度。
關鍵詞：attendant n. 隨員 confrontational adj. 對抗性的 hostile，defensive
Passage 3
Despite unemployment and the lost of her home, Andrea Clark considers herself a blessed and happy woman. Why the cheerful attitude? Her troubles have brought her closer to her family. Last year, Andrea’s husband, Rick, a miner in Nevada was laid off. Though Andrea kept her job as a school bus driver, she knew that they couldn’t pay their bill and support their youngest of five children, Zack, age nine, on one income. “At first their church helped out, but you can’t keep that up forever”, Andrea says. Then Michal, their eldest of her four adult children suggested they move in with his family. For almost three months, seven Clarks lived under one roof. Andrea, Rick and Zack stayed in the basement department, sharing laundry and single bathroom with Michal, his wife and their two children.
The change cut their expenditures in half, but the new living arrangement proved toochallenging. When Andrea found a job with a school district closer to her mother’s home in west Jorden, Utah, the family decided to move on. Packing up again with no picnic, Zack had toswitch schools for the second time and space is even tighter. Andrea says that the moves themselves are exhausting and Rick is still looking for a job.
The recession has certainly come with more problems than Andrea anticipated, but she remains unfailingly optimistic. She is excited to spend more time with her mother. Another plus, rents are lower in Utah than in Nevada. So Andrea thinks they’ll be able to save up and move out in less than 6 months.
Questions 33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Q33 What do we learn about Andrea’s husband?
答案：He used to work as a miner in Nevada.
Q34 Why did Andrea move to live in her eldest son’s home?
答案：To cut their living expenses.
Q35 What is Andrea’s attitude toward the hardships brought by the economic recession?
答案：Optimistic.
【點評】
本文描寫了Andrea一家在經(jīng)歷失業(yè)時依然樂觀向上的積極狀態(tài)。這從文章的首句Despiteunemployment and the lost of her home, Andrea Clark considers herself a blessed and happy woman.和最后一段but she remains unfailingly optimistic.都能得到印證。Andrea的丈夫是內華達的礦工，去年失業(yè)，為了維持生計，他們先是和大兒子一家住在一起，后來又搬家到猶他州，她的丈夫還在繼續(xù)找工作。但是經(jīng)濟衰退，并沒有讓Andrea消極，她覺得自己和家人的關系更緊密了并且相信自己能夠度過難關。
關鍵詞：lay off 解雇;expenditure n. 支出，花費;optimistic adj. 樂觀的
Section C
Mountain climbing is becoming a popular sport, but it is also a potentially dangerous one. People can fall. They may also become ill. One of the most common dangers to climbers isaltitude sickness, which can affect even very experienced climbers. Altitude sickness usually begins when a climber goes above 8,000 to 9,000 feet. The higher one climbs, the less oxygen there is in the air. When people don’t get enough oxygen, they often begin to gasp for air. They may also feel dizzy and light-headed. Besides these symptoms of altitude sickness, others such as headache and fatigue may also occur. At heights of over 18,000 feet, people may be climbing in a constant daze. Their state of mind can have adverse affect on their judgment. A few precautions can help most climbers avoid altitude sickness. The first is not to go too high, too fast. If you climb to 10,000 feet, stay at that height for a day or two. Your body needs to get used to a high altitude before you climb to a even higher one. Or if you do climb higher sooner, come back down to a lower height when you sleep. Also, drink plenty of liquids and avoid tobacco and alcohol. When you reach your top height, do like activities rather than sleep too much. You breathe less when you sleep, so you get less oxygen. The most important warning is this: if you have severe symptoms, then don’t go away, go down. Don’t risk injury or death because of over-confidence or lack of knowledge.

The impact could be 72 most in India and southeast Asia. More than 300 million people in south Asia are likely to be affected even with a 5% decrease in the 73 of the growing season.
Higher peak temperatures are also expected to take a heavy 74 on food producers. Today there are 56 million crop-dependent people in parts of west Africa and India who live in areas where, in 40 years, maximum daily temperatures could be higher than 30C. This is 75 to the maximum temperature that beans can tolerate, 76 corn and rice yields suffer when temperatures 77 this level.
"We are starting to see much more clearly 78 the effects of climate change on agriculture could 79 hunger and poverty," said research leader Patti Kristjanson. "Farmers already adapt80 variable weather by changing their planting schedules.

85. to be treated as the disabled

翻譯解析
82. was said to be based on a true event
【解析】本題考查固定句型及短語用法�！盜t is (was)said to be…”,表示“據(jù)說……”。該句子的主語是”The new movie”, “we are going to see this evening”這個句子是定語從句用來修飾主語，因此翻譯的時候可以先不看它，抓住句子的主干�！盎凇钡谋磉_有許多種：sth.be based on sth. ; sth. be on thebase of sth.等等。
83. disperse customers’ attention to its quality
【解析】本題考查短語固定用法�！胺稚⒛橙说淖⒁饬Α北磉_方式也有許多種：disperse / distract one’s attention to sth.
84. could not have been delayed by the traffic jam
【解析】本題考查過去時態(tài)的虛擬語氣;而且根據(jù)句意可知為被動態(tài)，因此主句的結構為”could not have been done”，表示本不可能發(fā)生的情況卻發(fā)生了。另外注意“交通阻塞”、“耽擱”這些日常生活中常用詞的英語表達。
85. to be treated as the disabled
【解析】本題考查動詞短語固定表達�！眛reat sb. as”表示“把某人看作”，而此句用被動態(tài)”sb. was treated as”即“某人被當作(對待)……”。另外注意表示一類人的方法，通常用”the+adj.”所以“殘疾人”為”the disabled”，又如，”the old”“老年人”等等。
86. as they had tried
【解析】本題考查讓步主語從句及句子倒裝。因為該從句以副詞”Hard”開頭表示強調，因此用連詞”as”來引導該從句要整句倒裝，”as”的意思為“雖然，盡管”。同時因主句是過去時可判斷，從句的時態(tài)應為過去完成時。本句的正常語序為”As they had tried hard, their…”
翻譯B
82.Through years of hard work, they_______________(已經(jīng)把那片荒地變成了肥沃的農田).

翻譯答案及解析
82. have turned the waste land into fertile farm land.

83. I would not have recognized her
【解析】本題考查虛擬語氣。if引導的條件句時態(tài)為過去完成時，那么主句的結構為“would not have done“�！罢J出某人”一般用”recognize sb.”
84. convinced the judge that we were blameless
【解析】本題考查固定表達及時態(tài)一致�！白屇橙舜_信某事”有多種表達”convince sb. that…”;”make sb. sure that…”，”blameless”意思為“清白的;無可責備的;無過失的”;另外據(jù)句意可判定主句謂語為過去時，因此that 引導的從句與主句時態(tài)要保持一致。
85.You can count on us
【解析】本題考查固定表達。”count on sb.”“指望、依靠某人”意即“某人可以放心”。
86.it is unwise to attempt to conquer it
