Help Your Child Become a Reader
Encouraging early reading skills Call build a path to a lifelong(終身的)love of reading and can help your child get a head start in school.While reading to your child is still the most important thing you can do to build reading skills,there are many techniques that Can help.
Make reading fun.Play games with your child as you read.Many traditional children’s
games can be adapted to encourage reading ski11s. ‘
While reading or during play, tell your child,“I spy with my little eye,something that begins with the letter b.”Help the child find something on the page or in the room that begins with that letter.For example?!甀 see a barn.”This can also be used to teach beginning letter sounds.“I spy with my little eye.Something that begins with the sounds.”Help the child find a word that begins with the “s” sound.
In this variation on the popular game, instruct the child that,“Simon says,‘point to something that starts with the letter n.’”The child call then find an object in the room or a body part,such as the nose,that starts with the letter presented.This can also be used to teach beginning sounds.
Make a game out of rhyming(押韻)words by making up silly words to rhyme with the
child’s name or favorite toys.This sets the stage for rhyming real words by showing the child the similarities of sounds.As the child masters making up the words,begin rhyming real words to one another.
Tips to raise a successful reader:
Put books in places where the child plays.If books are easily accessible,children are more likely to pick them up.
Let children “read to you” by looking at pictures.Making up stories to go along with
illustrations helps children discover how words relate to pictures. .

Global Warming
l Smoke is clouding Our view of global warming, protecting the planet from perhaps three-quarters of the greenhouse(溫室)effect.That might sound like good news,but experts say that as the cover diminishes in coming decades,we are facing a dramatic increase of warming that could be two or even three times as great as official best guesses.
2 This was the dramatic conclusion reached last week at a workshop in Dahlem,Berlin, where top atmospheric scientists got together, including Nobel prize winner Paul Crutzen and Swedish scientist Bert Bolin,former chairman of the UN’S Intergovemmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
3 IPCC scientists have suspected for a decade that aerosols(浮質(zhì))of smoke and other particles from burning rainforest,crop waste and fossil fuels are blocking sunlight and counteracting the warming effect of carbon dioxide(二氧化物)emissions.Until now,they reckoned that aerosols reduced greenhouse warming by perhaps a quarter, cutting increases by 0.2。C.So the 0.6。C of warming over the past century would have been 0.8。C without aerosols.
4 But the Berlin workshop concluded that the real figure is even higher--aerosols may have reduced global warming by as much as three—quarters,cutting increases by 1.8。C.If SO,the good news is that aerosols have prevented the world getting almost two degrees warmer than it is now.But the bad news is that the climate system is much more sensitive to greenhouse gases than previously guessed.
5 As those gases are expected to continue accumulating in the atmosphere while aerosols stabilize or fall, that means“dramatic consequences for estimates of future climate change”,the scientists agreed in a draft report from the workshop.

第一篇
Sleepless at Night
It was a normal summer night.Humidity(濕氣)hung in the thick air.
I couldn’t go to sleep,partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for the next day.My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise.
Sweat stuck to my aching body.Finally, gathered enough strength to sit up.I looked out of my small window into the night.There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a magic light.
I couldn’t stand the pressure anymore,SO I did what I always do to make myself feel better.I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste.I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow.Back and forth,up and down.
Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement,some life.Gladiator, my cat, frightened me as he meowed(喵喵地唱出)his sad song.He was on t11e old orange couch(長沙發(fā)),sitting up on his front legs,waiting for something to happen.He looked at me as if to say I“I’m lonely, pet me.I need a good hug(緊抱).”Even the couch begged me to sit on it.
In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch.This couch represented my parents’marriage,my birth,and hundreds of other little events.
As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily.My mind was flooded with questions:What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator’s body,I had a new thought;each touch sang a different song.
I forgot all about the heat and the next day’s surprise.The atmosphere was SO full of warmth and silence that I sank into its alms.Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms,I felt all my worries slowly move away.

第二篇
Ancient Egypt Brought Down by Famine
Even ancient Egypt’s mighty pyramid(金字塔)builders were powerless in the face of the
famine(饑荒)that helped bring down their civilization around 2180 B.C..Now evidence
collected from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blame--and the same or worse could happen today.
The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile’s annual floods to irrigate their crops.But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons(季風(fēng))southwards out of Ethiopia would
have reduced these floods.
Declining rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stabilize the soil.W.1len rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile and into Egypt,along with sediment(沉積)from the White Nile.
Blue Nile mud has a different isotope(同位素)signature from that of the white Nile.So by analyzing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta.Michael Krom of Leeds
University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river.
Krom reasons that during periods of drought,the amount of Blue Nile mud in the river
would be relatively high.He found that one of these periods,from 4500 to 4200 years ago。
immediately came before the fall of the Egypt’s old Kingdom.
The weakened waters would have been disaster for the Egyptians.‘‘Changes that affect food supply don’t have to be very large to have a ripple(波浪)effect in societies,”says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in New York.
Similar events today could be even more devastating,says team member Daniel Stanley.a(chǎn)
scientist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.“Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the
populations have increased dramatically.”
36 Why does the author mention “Egypt’s mighty pyramid builders’’?
A Because they once worked miracles.
B Because they were well—built.
C Because they were actually very weak.
D Because even they were unable to rescue their civilization.
37 Which of the following factors was ultimately responsible for bringing down the
civilization of ancient Egypt?
A Change of climate.
B Corrulption.
C flood.
D Population growth.
38 which of the following statements is true?
A The White Nile is the trunk of the River Nile.
B The White Nile is the trunk of the Blue Nile.
C The White Nile is a branch of the Blue Nile.
D The White Nile is a branch of the River Nile.
39 According to Krom,the Egypt’s o1d Kingdom fell
A immediately after a period of drought.
B immediately after a period of flood.
C just before a drought struck.
D just before a flood struck.
40 The word “devastating” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by
A “frustrating'’.
B “damaging'’.
C “defeating”.
D “worrying'’.

Technology Transfer in Germany
When it comes to translating basic research into industrial success,few nations can match Germany.Since the 1940s,the nation’s vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science.And though German prosperity(繁榮)has faltered(衰退)over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline,it still has an enviable(令人羨慕的)record for turning ideas into profit.
Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought-after technologies·But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition.Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer,and technology parks are springing up all over.These efforts are being complemented by the federal programs for pumping money into start-up companies.
Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success,but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favoring applied research will mean neglecting basic science, eventually starving industry of flesh ideas.If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur(企業(yè)家),the argument goes,then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity.driven:free and widely available will suffer.Others claim that many of the programs to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years.
While this debate continues,new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany’s research networks,which bear famous names such as Helmholtz,Max Planck and Leibniz.Yet it is the fourth network,the Fraunhofer Society,that plays the greatest role in technology transfer.
Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe’S largest organization for applied technology,and has 59 institutes employing 1 2,000 people.It continues to grow.Last year’it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin.Today, there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.
1 What factor Can be attributed to German prosperity?
A Technology transfer.
B Good management.
C Hard work.
D Fierce competition.
2 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research?
A It is free.
B It is profit-driven.
C It is widely available.
D It is curiosity—driven.
3 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organization for applied technology in
A Asia.
B USA.
C Europe.
D Africa.
4 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded?
A In 1940.
B Last year.
C After the unification.
D In 1949.
5 The word“expertise’’in line 3 could be best replaced by
A “experts”.
B “scientists”.
C “scholars”.
D “special knowledge”.

Weatherup stopped. (48)Just before I reached the door, I heard him tell the group
that he was running late.He thanked them for their attention,wished them luck and walked out to where 1 was now sitting,holding my breath.
He looked at the card and then at me.“Let me guess.”he said.“You’re Jeff.”He smiled. (49)
He spent the next 30 minutes offering me his time,some wonderful stories that I still use,and an invitation to visit him and his group in New Y_0rk.But what he gave me that I value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done. (50)When things need to happen,you either have the nerve to act or you don’t.
A I began breathing again and we grabbed(霸占)an office right there at school and closed the door.
B As I sat listening to him,I knew that I could trust him,and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to him.

36.D這道題問的是:作者為什么提及“古埃及偉大的金字塔建筑者”?文章開頭有這么一句話,中文意思是:即使古埃及偉大的金字塔建筑者面對那場在公元前2180年促使他們的文明毀滅的饑荒也無能為力。D說的是:即使是他們也不能挽救他們的文明。因此D是正確的答案。A說的是:他們曾創(chuàng)造過奇跡。B說的是:他們很強壯。C說的是:他們其實很弱。
37.A這道題問的是:下面列出的幾種因素中哪一種因素是造成古埃及文明毀滅的根本性因素。A說的是:氣候變化。第一段中有這樣一個子句:…a shift in climate…was ultimately to blame…終歸咎于氣候的變化。在第一題的題解中,我們提到了“饑荒” 與“古埃及文明毀滅”的關(guān)系。但“饑荒”是表層的因素,“氣候的變化”才是古埃及 文明毀滅的深層的因素。因此,A是正確的答案。B:腐敗。c:水災(zāi)。D:人口增長。
38.D這道題問的是:下面列出的幾種陳述哪一種是正確的?D說的是:白尼羅河是尼羅河的支流。第四段中的后一句話是這么說的:…worked out what‘proportion of sediment came from each branch ofthe river.……找到了來自河的每條支流的沉積物的比例。這里的“河”是指“尼羅河”,“每條支流”回指上文所說的“青尼羅河”和“白尼羅河”。因此,D是正確的答案。A:白尼羅河是尼羅河的干流。B:白尼羅河是青尼羅河的干流。c:白尼羅河是青尼羅河的支流:顯然,這些都不構(gòu)成答案。
39.A這道題問的是:古埃及王朝毀滅發(fā)生在什么時候?A說的是:就在一個時期的干旱之后。第五段有這么一個句子:…one of these periods…immediately came before the fall of the Egypt's Old Kingdom.其中的一個時期……就發(fā)生在古埃及王國毀滅之前??梢钥闯觯珹應(yīng)該是正確的答案。B:就在一個時期的水災(zāi)之后。C:就在遇到旱災(zāi)之前。D:就在遇到水災(zāi)之前。
40.B devastate是及物動詞。意思是:使荒蕪;破壞。devastating既是現(xiàn)在分詞,又是形容詞。此處devastating不是現(xiàn)在分詞,因為它后面不跟名詞短語,它只能是形容詞。它的意思是:破壞性的。frustrate是動詞。意思是:使受挫;受挫。frustrating是現(xiàn)在分詞,同時也是形容詞。作形容詞時,它的意思是:失望的??梢钥闯觯鷇evastating的意思相差很遠(yuǎn)。damage:破壞,毀滅。damaging是它的現(xiàn)在分詞,但它本身也是形容詞,意思是:破壞的或毀滅的。跟devastating意思相近,是合適的選擇。defeat:擊敗。worry:擔(dān)憂,發(fā)愁。worrying:令人擔(dān)憂的,令人發(fā)愁的。
41.正確答案為A。答案在第一段可以找到,該段的后一句話it still has a11 enviable record
forturning ideas into profit是該段的總結(jié),明確指出了德國的繁榮歸功于技術(shù)的轉(zhuǎn)換。
42.正確答案為B。答案可以在第三段里找到,這一段里有這樣一句話:traditional principles of university research being curiosity.driven,free and widely available’will suffer,傳統(tǒng)的 大學(xué)科研原則有三個特點,惟獨沒有‘profit-driven,即受利益驅(qū)動。
43.正確答案為C。答案在后一段里講得很清楚。
44.正確答案為D。答案在后一段的第一句話里。
45.正確答案為D。expertise是特殊領(lǐng)域的知識和學(xué)問的意思,另外三個選項都用來指人,在這個上下文里根本不合適。
第5部分:補金短文
46.E文章的第一段談到,“我”得知百事公司的老總要在科羅拉多大學(xué)講學(xué),就設(shè)法得到了約見他的機會。接下去應(yīng)該是E,這是一個轉(zhuǎn)折,“我”雖然得到了約見他的機會,但在他作完演講之后卻只有15分鐘的時間。所以,在第二段的開頭才會出現(xiàn):“我”在大學(xué)禮堂外面等候的描述。E與前后連貫,所以是答案。
47.C第二段開頭描述“我”在禮堂外面等候的情況。第二個句子談到,“我”能聽到他給學(xué)生們講話,他講啊講……后一個句子提到,他已經(jīng)超過了五分鐘了。在第二句和后一句之間應(yīng)該是C,“我大為吃驚,他該停的時候沒?!薄?BR> 48.F第三段講“我”在名片后面寫了個便條提醒他還有個約會,然后推開門,向他走去。接下去很自然應(yīng)該是F,把名片遞給他。
49。A第四段談到,百事的老總看了看名片,又看了看我,……他笑了。他笑了,說明他同意和我談話,所以,接下去應(yīng)該是A。
50.D第五段第二個句子談到,他所給“我”的也是“我”珍視的,就是他鼓勵“我”繼續(xù)按照“我”做過的作法做?!拔摇弊鬟^的做法就是有膽量打斷一個總裁的演講,所以,接下去應(yīng)該是D,是總裁對“我”所作鼓勵的具體內(nèi)容。
第6部分:憲形填空
51.A called是過去分詞作后置定語表示被動,這里是說,那些學(xué)校被叫做特許學(xué)校。asked,known,said不僅意思不合適,也不符合這里的語法要求:如果硬要用asked 修飾public schools,也得說,public schools asked t0 do sth.;在這里的語境中,known 要與as連用;said要與tobe連用。
52.C operate在這里是不及物動詞,是“運轉(zhuǎn)”的意思。作為不及物動詞,study,conduct 和perform在這里作charter schools的謂語都不合適。
53.B attend school上學(xué),是一個固定的表達(dá)方式,finish和cut放在these schools前面不通:可以說leave these schools,但attend these schools更符合這里上下文的要求。
54.C雖然從語法上說taught,held和understood在這里都可以用,但從意思上講,卻只能用cmamd,因為根據(jù)這一段其他句子所提供的上下文,這個句子講的應(yīng)該是特許學(xué)校及其興辦人。
55.A be similar to是一個固定說法。
56.B the amount是the amount 0f money的省略形式,它與上一句的tax money相照應(yīng)。expense不能與receive連用;attention和information雖然可以和receive連用,但從意思上不符合上下文的要求。
57.D provide與with連用,恰好與原句中的with相吻合。buy和review常與for連用,give常與to連用。
58.D besides此外,moreover而且,thus因而,however然而。這四個詞中只有however表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。原句的意思是:與傳統(tǒng)的公共學(xué)校不同,大多數(shù)用以管理公共學(xué)校的法律,特許學(xué)校都不必遵守。顯然,這里講的是特許學(xué)校與傳統(tǒng)公共學(xué)校之間不同,與上一段構(gòu)成對照關(guān)系,是一種轉(zhuǎn)折,所以要用however。
59.A這個句子中的it指的是上一句中的the charter school,學(xué)校的主要功能是教學(xué);這個句子的下一句說,每個學(xué)校(指特許學(xué)校)都可以選擇自己的目標(biāo),也就是“教什么”。綜合這兩點,這里應(yīng)該填teach。
60.B reachthose goals意思是“達(dá)到那些目標(biāo)”。這個句子的意思是:每個學(xué)校(指特許學(xué)校)都可以選擇自己的目標(biāo),并可以決定達(dá)到那些目標(biāo)的途徑。所以,佳選擇是reach。set,indicate和define與旬意相關(guān)性甚小。
61.c本文一直在談特許學(xué)校的事,這個句子仍然在談特許學(xué)校的事,所以teachers應(yīng)為首選。
62.A從上下文看,這里的意義應(yīng)該是反面的。這四個詞中,encourage的意義是正面的,不能選,change和enter與這里的上下文相關(guān)性較小,所以,佳選擇是oppose。
63.B這個句子提及的是反對特許學(xué)校的一個理由,那就是,特許學(xué)??赡軙D用傳統(tǒng)公共學(xué)校非常需要的錢。所以,這里應(yīng)該用needed。
64.D這個句子提到,國會為……提供了20億美元。四個選項中,只有establishing與charter schools連用符合題意。
65.A programs在這里指的是“學(xué)校的課程計劃”。這個句子的意思是:雖然有國會大量的撥款,特許學(xué)校仍然會經(jīng)常說他們?nèi)狈ψ銐虻腻X來完成他們的教學(xué)計劃。其他三個詞缺乏相關(guān)性。

Help Your Child Become a Reader
Encouraging early reading skills Call build a path to a lifelong(終身的)love of reading and can help your child get a head start in school.While reading to your child is still the most important thing you can do to build reading skills,there are many techniques that Can help.
Make reading fun.Play games with your child as you read.Many traditional children’s
games can be adapted to encourage reading ski11s. ‘

child’s name or favorite toys.This sets the stage for rhyming real words by showing the child the similarities of sounds.As the child masters making up the words,begin rhyming real words to one another.

Global Warming
l Smoke is clouding Our view of global warming, protecting the planet from perhaps three-quarters of the greenhouse(溫室)effect.That might sound like good news,but experts say that as the cover diminishes in coming decades,we are facing a dramatic increase of warming that could be two or even three times as great as official best guesses.
2 This was the dramatic conclusion reached last week at a workshop in Dahlem,Berlin, where top atmospheric scientists got together, including Nobel prize winner Paul Crutzen and Swedish scientist Bert Bolin,former chairman of the UN’S Intergovemmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
3 IPCC scientists have suspected for a decade that aerosols(浮質(zhì))of smoke and other particles from burning rainforest,crop waste and fossil fuels are blocking sunlight and counteracting the warming effect of carbon dioxide(二氧化物)emissions.Until now,they reckoned that aerosols reduced greenhouse warming by perhaps a quarter, cutting increases by 0.2。C.So the 0.6。C of warming over the past century would have been 0.8。C without aerosols.
4 But the Berlin workshop concluded that the real figure is even higher--aerosols may have reduced global warming by as much as three—quarters,cutting increases by 1.8。C.If SO,the good news is that aerosols have prevented the world getting almost two degrees warmer than it is now.But the bad news is that the climate system is much more sensitive to greenhouse gases than previously guessed.
5 As those gases are expected to continue accumulating in the atmosphere while aerosols stabilize or fall, that means“dramatic consequences for estimates of future climate change”,the scientists agreed in a draft report from the workshop.

第一篇
Sleepless at Night
It was a normal summer night.Humidity(濕氣)hung in the thick air.
I couldn’t go to sleep,partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for the next day.My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise.
Sweat stuck to my aching body.Finally, gathered enough strength to sit up.I looked out of my small window into the night.There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a magic light.
I couldn’t stand the pressure anymore,SO I did what I always do to make myself feel better.I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste.I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow.Back and forth,up and down.
Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement,some life.Gladiator, my cat, frightened me as he meowed(喵喵地唱出)his sad song.He was on t11e old orange couch(長沙發(fā)),sitting up on his front legs,waiting for something to happen.He looked at me as if to say I“I’m lonely, pet me.I need a good hug(緊抱).”Even the couch begged me to sit on it.
In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch.This couch represented my parents’marriage,my birth,and hundreds of other little events.
As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily.My mind was flooded with questions:What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator’s body,I had a new thought;each touch sang a different song.
I forgot all about the heat and the next day’s surprise.The atmosphere was SO full of warmth and silence that I sank into its alms.Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms,I felt all my worries slowly move away.

第二篇
Ancient Egypt Brought Down by Famine
Even ancient Egypt’s mighty pyramid(金字塔)builders were powerless in the face of the
famine(饑荒)that helped bring down their civilization around 2180 B.C..Now evidence
collected from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blame--and the same or worse could happen today.
The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile’s annual floods to irrigate their crops.But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons(季風(fēng))southwards out of Ethiopia would
have reduced these floods.
Declining rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stabilize the soil.W.1len rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile and into Egypt,along with sediment(沉積)from the White Nile.
Blue Nile mud has a different isotope(同位素)signature from that of the white Nile.So by analyzing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta.Michael Krom of Leeds
University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river.
Krom reasons that during periods of drought,the amount of Blue Nile mud in the river
would be relatively high.He found that one of these periods,from 4500 to 4200 years ago。
immediately came before the fall of the Egypt’s old Kingdom.
The weakened waters would have been disaster for the Egyptians.‘‘Changes that affect food supply don’t have to be very large to have a ripple(波浪)effect in societies,”says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in New York.
Similar events today could be even more devastating,says team member Daniel Stanley.a(chǎn)
scientist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.“Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the
populations have increased dramatically.”
36 Why does the author mention “Egypt’s mighty pyramid builders’’?
A Because they once worked miracles.
B Because they were well—built.
C Because they were actually very weak.
D Because even they were unable to rescue their civilization.
37 Which of the following factors was ultimately responsible for bringing down the
civilization of ancient Egypt?
A Change of climate.
B Corrulption.
C flood.
D Population growth.
38 which of the following statements is true?
A The White Nile is the trunk of the River Nile.
B The White Nile is the trunk of the Blue Nile.
C The White Nile is a branch of the Blue Nile.
D The White Nile is a branch of the River Nile.
39 According to Krom,the Egypt’s o1d Kingdom fell
A immediately after a period of drought.
B immediately after a period of flood.
C just before a drought struck.
D just before a flood struck.
40 The word “devastating” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by
A “frustrating'’.
B “damaging'’.
C “defeating”.
D “worrying'’.
第三篇
Technology Transfer in Germany
When it comes to translating basic research into industrial success,few nations can match Germany.Since the 1940s,the nation’s vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science.And though German prosperity(繁榮)has faltered(衰退)over the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline,it still has an enviable(令人羨慕的)record for turning ideas into profit.
Much of the reason for that success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industrial problems and create sought-after technologies·But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition.Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer,and technology parks are springing up all over.These efforts are being complemented by the federal programs for pumping money into start-up companies.
Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success,but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favoring applied research will mean neglecting basic science, eventually starving industry of flesh ideas.If every scientist starts thinking like an entrepreneur(企業(yè)家),the argument goes,then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity.driven:free and widely available will suffer.Others claim that many of the programs to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound to go bankrupt within a few years.
While this debate continues,new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germany’s research networks,which bear famous names such as Helmholtz,Max Planck and Leibniz.Yet it is the fourth network,the Fraunhofer Society,that plays the greatest role in technology transfer.
Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now Europe’S largest organization for applied technology,and has 59 institutes employing 1 2,000 people.It continues to grow.Last year’it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin.Today, there are even Fraunhofers in the US and Asia.
1 What factor Can be attributed to German prosperity?
A Technology transfer.
B Good management.
C Hard work.
D Fierce competition.
2 Which of the following is NOT true of traditional university research?
A It is free.
B It is profit-driven.
C It is widely available.
D It is curiosity—driven.
3 The Fraunhofer Society is the largest organization for applied technology in
A Asia.
B USA.
C Europe.
D Africa.
4 When was the Fraunhofer Society founded?
A In 1940.
B Last year.
C After the unification.
D In 1949.
5 The word“expertise’’in line 3 could be best replaced by
A “experts”.
B “scientists”.
C “scholars”.
D “special knowledge”.

You Need Courage!
Shortly after I began a career in business,I learned that Carl Weatherup,president of PepsiCo(百事可樂公司),was speaking at the University of Colorado.I tracked down the
person handling his, schedule and managed to get myself an appointment. (46)
So there 1 was sitting outside the university’s auditorium,waiting for the president of PepsiCo.I could hear him talking to the students…and talking,and talking. (47)He was now five minutes over, which dropped my time with him down to 10 minutes.Decision time.
I wrote a note on the back of my business card,reminding him that he had a meeting.“You
have a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2:30 pm.”I took a deep breath,pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle(過道)toward him as he talked.Mr.
Weatherup stopped. (48)Just before I reached the door, I heard him tell the group
that he was running late.He thanked them for their attention,wished them luck and walked out to where 1 was now sitting,holding my breath.
He looked at the card and then at me.“Let me guess.”he said.“You’re Jeff.”He smiled. (49)
He spent the next 30 minutes offering me his time,some wonderful stories that I still use,and an invitation to visit him and his group in New Y_0rk.But what he gave me that I value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done. (50)When things need to happen,you either have the nerve to act or you don’t.
A I began breathing again and we grabbed(霸占)an office right there at school and closed the door.
B As I sat listening to him,I knew that I could trust him,and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to him.
C I became alarmed:his talk wasn’t ending when it should have.
D He said that it took nerve for me to interrupt him,and that nerve was the key tO SUCCESS in the business world.
E 1 was told,however,that he was on a tight schedule and only had 1 5 minutes available after his talk to the business class.
F I handed him the card then I turned and walked out the way I came.

4.A“polish”和“shine”都有“擦亮”的意思。
5.B “details”是“細(xì)節(jié)”的意思。“particulars”也是“細(xì)節(jié)”的意思。
6.B content:滿意的。satisfied:滿意的,分詞形容詞。二者都需要與介詞with連用,可以用satisfied替代content。tied:系上了的。filled:滿的。concerned:關(guān)心的。盡管后三個詞都有可能與介詞with連用,但意思與content不一樣。
7.A durable:耐用的。long·lasting:耐用的。二者意思相近,可以用durable替換long—lasting。extensive:廣泛的。far.reaching:深遠(yuǎn)的。etemal:永恒的。
8.C expired:斷氣。died:死。二者意思相近,可以用died替換expired。fired:開槍。
retreated:撤退。
9.A gazing(at):凝視。staring(at):凝視。二者意思相近,都需要與介詞at連用,可以用staring(at)替換gazing(at)。laughing(at):嘲笑。shouting(at):對……大聲吆呵。smiling(at):看著……微笑。

15.A 是佳答案。extract a tooth是“拔牙”的意思,在四個選項中只有take out可以替代。第2部分:閱讀判斷
16.答案是A。本題的意思是:良好的閱讀習(xí)慣對孩子在學(xué)校的學(xué)習(xí)有幫助。第一段的第一個句子談到了這一點:鼓勵兒童提高閱讀技巧有助于他們在學(xué)校名列前茅。
17.答案是C。本題的棗思是:電腦游戲可以用來幫助孩子提高閱讀技巧。本文雖然提到了做游戲,但卻沒有提及電腦游戲。
18.答案是C。本題的意思是:一個有用的游戲是裝扮成間諜。本文沒有提到間諜的事。
19.答案是B。本題的意思是:做游戲的時候,應(yīng)該讓孩子去找以字母b而不是以字母c開頭的東西。文章不是這個意思,提到字母b只是舉一個例子而已,實際上任何字母都可以。
20.答案是B。本題的意思是:押韻游戲的目的是為孩子們寫詩作準(zhǔn)備。但文章第五段第二個句子說,押韻游戲通過讓孩子了解聲音的相似性,可以為給實際語言運用中的詞押韻做準(zhǔn)備。所以,押韻游戲的直接目的不是為寫詩。
21.答案是A。本題的意思是:可以讓孩子看圖講故事。文章倒數(shù)第三段談到:讓孩子把圖“念給你聽”,也就是看圖說話。
22.答案是A。本題的意思是:與孩子一起出門的時候應(yīng)該帶上書。正確。文章倒數(shù)第二段談到,旅行時,甚至去看醫(yī)生或者去雜貨店時,都要帶上書。第3部分:概括大意與憲成句子
23.答案為E。文章第三段指出,結(jié)論是由杰出的大氣科學(xué)家做出的。“杰出的科學(xué)家”即權(quán)威科學(xué)家。
24。答案為c。文章第三段提到了對浮質(zhì)所產(chǎn)生的影響進(jìn)行的計算,這個計算先于第四段所提及的計算,因而被稱為“先前的”計算。
25.答案為B。文章第四段開頭指出,“然而,柏林討論會得出的結(jié)論是,真正的數(shù)字比這 還要高——浮質(zhì)可能已經(jīng)把全球氣候變暖的情況減少了四分之三。”因此,本段講的是柏林討論會的計算。
26.答案為D。第五段講的是科學(xué)家們關(guān)于浮質(zhì)對氣候變化影響的一個一致性的看法。
27.答案為C。文章第一段指出,隨著在未來幾十年里這種煙霧覆蓋物的不斷減少,我們會面臨驚人的氣候變暖的情況,也就是說,覆蓋物減少,氣溫會迅速升高。
28.答案為B。柏林討論會的結(jié)論有點令人吃驚,因為這個結(jié)論認(rèn)為,浮質(zhì)可能已經(jīng)把全球氣候變暖的情況減少了四分之三,這個數(shù)字是驚人的。
29.答案為E。文章第四段指出,“然而,柏林討論會得出的結(jié)論是,真正的數(shù)字比這還要高”,“比這還要高”.是說比第三段推測的數(shù)字要高,也就比人們預(yù)期的要高。
30.答案為A。文章的后一段提到了這個問題:這些氣體(溫室氣體)在大氣里不斷聚積對未來氣候變化的預(yù)測產(chǎn)生驚人的后果。
第4部分:閱讀理解
31.c該題問的是:該文的作者不能入睡的部分原因是什么?第二段的第一個句子是這么說的:我不能入睡,部分原因是感冒,部分原因是對第二天的期待。
32.C該題問的是:那天的天氣怎么樣?第一段的第一句是這么說的:這是一個普通的夏季里的夜晚。第三段的后一句話說的是:一個巨大的明媚的月亮懸掛在天空,發(fā)出妖艷的光芒??梢姡翘焯鞖夂芎?。
33.A該題問的是:作者不斷地刷牙是為什么?第四段的第一句話是這么說的.:我再也受不住這種壓力了。于是我就去做我經(jīng)常做的事,使得感覺好些。下面就談到了刷牙。
34.B該題問的是:“Gladiator”是什么的名字?第五段的第二句話是這么說韻:Gladiator,我的貓,喵喵地唱出了它的悲哀的歌,把我嚇了一跳??梢姟癎ladiator”是愛畜的名字。
35.D該題問的是:“couch”代表了什么?倒數(shù)第三段的第二個句子是這么說的:這個“躺椅,代表了我父母的婚姻、我的降臨,以及許許多多其他的小的事件。不難看出,它代表的是愉快的記憶。
36.D這道題問的是:作者為什么提及“古埃及偉大的金字塔建筑者”?文章開頭有這么一句話,中文意思是:即使古埃及偉大的金字塔建筑者面對那場在公元前2180年促使他們的文明毀滅的饑荒也無能為力。D說的是:即使是他們也不能挽救他們的文明。因此D是正確的答案。A說的是:他們曾創(chuàng)造過奇跡。B說的是:他們很強壯。C說的是:他們其實很弱。
37.A這道題問的是:下面列出的幾種因素中哪一種因素是造成古埃及文明毀滅的根本性因素。A說的是:氣候變化。第一段中有這樣一個子句:…a shift in climate…was ultimately to blame…終歸咎于氣候的變化。在第一題的題解中,我們提到了“饑荒” 與“古埃及文明毀滅”的關(guān)系。但“饑荒”是表層的因素,“氣候的變化”才是古埃及 文明毀滅的深層的因素。因此,A是正確的答案。B:腐敗。c:水災(zāi)。D:人口增長。
38.D這道題問的是:下面列出的幾種陳述哪一種是正確的?D說的是:白尼羅河是尼羅河的支流。第四段中的后一句話是這么說的:…worked out what‘proportion of sediment came from each branch ofthe river.……找到了來自河的每條支流的沉積物的比例。這里的“河”是指“尼羅河”,“每條支流”回指上文所說的“青尼羅河”和“白尼羅河”。因此,D是正確的答案。A:白尼羅河是尼羅河的干流。B:白尼羅河是青尼羅河的干流。c:白尼羅河是青尼羅河的支流:顯然,這些都不構(gòu)成答案。
39.A這道題問的是:古埃及王朝毀滅發(fā)生在什么時候?A說的是:就在一個時期的干旱之后。第五段有這么一個句子:…one of these periods…immediately came before the fall of the Egypt's Old Kingdom.其中的一個時期……就發(fā)生在古埃及王國毀滅之前??梢钥闯觯珹應(yīng)該是正確的答案。B:就在一個時期的水災(zāi)之后。C:就在遇到旱災(zāi)之前。D:就在遇到水災(zāi)之前。
40.B devastate是及物動詞。意思是:使荒蕪;破壞。devastating既是現(xiàn)在分詞,又是形容詞。此處devastating不是現(xiàn)在分詞,因為它后面不跟名詞短語,它只能是形容詞。它的意思是:破壞性的。frustrate是動詞。意思是:使受挫;受挫。frustrating是現(xiàn)在分詞,同時也是形容詞。作形容詞時,它的意思是:失望的??梢钥闯觯鷇evastating的意思相差很遠(yuǎn)。damage:破壞,毀滅。damaging是它的現(xiàn)在分詞,但它本身也是形容詞,意思是:破壞的或毀滅的。跟devastating意思相近,是合適的選擇。defeat:擊敗。worry:擔(dān)憂,發(fā)愁。worrying:令人擔(dān)憂的,令人發(fā)愁的。
41.正確答案為A。答案在第一段可以找到,該段的后一句話it still has a11 enviable record
forturning ideas into profit是該段的總結(jié),明確指出了德國的繁榮歸功于技術(shù)的轉(zhuǎn)換。
42.正確答案為B。答案可以在第三段里找到,這一段里有這樣一句話:traditional principles of university research being curiosity.driven,free and widely available’will suffer,傳統(tǒng)的 大學(xué)科研原則有三個特點,惟獨沒有‘profit-driven,即受利益驅(qū)動。
43.正確答案為C。答案在后一段里講得很清楚。
44.正確答案為D。答案在后一段的第一句話里。
45.正確答案為D。expertise是特殊領(lǐng)域的知識和學(xué)問的意思,另外三個選項都用來指人,在這個上下文里根本不合適。
第5部分:補金短文
46.E文章的第一段談到,“我”得知百事公司的老總要在科羅拉多大學(xué)講學(xué),就設(shè)法得到了約見他的機會。接下去應(yīng)該是E,這是一個轉(zhuǎn)折,“我”雖然得到了約見他的機會,但在他作完演講之后卻只有15分鐘的時間。所以,在第二段的開頭才會出現(xiàn):“我”在大學(xué)禮堂外面等候的描述。E與前后連貫,所以是答案。
47.C第二段開頭描述“我”在禮堂外面等候的情況。第二個句子談到,“我”能聽到他給學(xué)生們講話,他講啊講……后一個句子提到,他已經(jīng)超過了五分鐘了。在第二句和后一句之間應(yīng)該是C,“我大為吃驚,他該停的時候沒?!薄?BR> 48.F第三段講“我”在名片后面寫了個便條提醒他還有個約會,然后推開門,向他走去。接下去很自然應(yīng)該是F,把名片遞給他。
49。A第四段談到,百事的老總看了看名片,又看了看我,……他笑了。他笑了,說明他同意和我談話,所以,接下去應(yīng)該是A。
50.D第五段第二個句子談到,他所給“我”的也是“我”珍視的,就是他鼓勵“我”繼續(xù)按照“我”做過的作法做?!拔摇弊鬟^的做法就是有膽量打斷一個總裁的演講,所以,接下去應(yīng)該是D,是總裁對“我”所作鼓勵的具體內(nèi)容。
第6部分:憲形填空
51.A called是過去分詞作后置定語表示被動,這里是說,那些學(xué)校被叫做特許學(xué)校。asked,known,said不僅意思不合適,也不符合這里的語法要求:如果硬要用asked 修飾public schools,也得說,public schools asked t0 do sth.;在這里的語境中,known 要與as連用;said要與tobe連用。
52.C operate在這里是不及物動詞,是“運轉(zhuǎn)”的意思。作為不及物動詞,study,conduct 和perform在這里作charter schools的謂語都不合適。
53.B attend school上學(xué),是一個固定的表達(dá)方式,finish和cut放在these schools前面不通:可以說leave these schools,但attend these schools更符合這里上下文的要求。
54.C雖然從語法上說taught,held和understood在這里都可以用,但從意思上講,卻只能用cmamd,因為根據(jù)這一段其他句子所提供的上下文,這個句子講的應(yīng)該是特許學(xué)校及其興辦人。
55.A be similar to是一個固定說法。
56.B the amount是the amount 0f money的省略形式,它與上一句的tax money相照應(yīng)。expense不能與receive連用;attention和information雖然可以和receive連用,但從意思上不符合上下文的要求。
57.D provide與with連用,恰好與原句中的with相吻合。buy和review常與for連用,give常與to連用。
58.D besides此外,moreover而且,thus因而,however然而。這四個詞中只有however表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。原句的意思是:與傳統(tǒng)的公共學(xué)校不同,大多數(shù)用以管理公共學(xué)校的法律,特許學(xué)校都不必遵守。顯然,這里講的是特許學(xué)校與傳統(tǒng)公共學(xué)校之間不同,與上一段構(gòu)成對照關(guān)系,是一種轉(zhuǎn)折,所以要用however。
59.A這個句子中的it指的是上一句中的the charter school,學(xué)校的主要功能是教學(xué);這個句子的下一句說,每個學(xué)校(指特許學(xué)校)都可以選擇自己的目標(biāo),也就是“教什么”。綜合這兩點,這里應(yīng)該填teach。
60.B reachthose goals意思是“達(dá)到那些目標(biāo)”。這個句子的意思是:每個學(xué)校(指特許學(xué)校)都可以選擇自己的目標(biāo),并可以決定達(dá)到那些目標(biāo)的途徑。所以,佳選擇是reach。set,indicate和define與旬意相關(guān)性甚小。
61.c本文一直在談特許學(xué)校的事,這個句子仍然在談特許學(xué)校的事,所以teachers應(yīng)為首選。
62.A從上下文看,這里的意義應(yīng)該是反面的。這四個詞中,encourage的意義是正面的,不能選,change和enter與這里的上下文相關(guān)性較小,所以,佳選擇是oppose。
63.B這個句子提及的是反對特許學(xué)校的一個理由,那就是,特許學(xué)??赡軙D用傳統(tǒng)公共學(xué)校非常需要的錢。所以,這里應(yīng)該用needed。
64.D這個句子提到,國會為……提供了20億美元。四個選項中,只有establishing與charter schools連用符合題意。
65.A programs在這里指的是“學(xué)校的課程計劃”。這個句子的意思是:雖然有國會大量的撥款,特許學(xué)校仍然會經(jīng)常說他們?nèi)狈ψ銐虻腻X來完成他們的教學(xué)計劃。其他三個詞缺乏相關(guān)性。
