Healthy habitscan help you live longer
Leda Beierle has livedthrough World War I and II, the Great Depression, Louisville's 1937 flood and18 US presidents,
When she was born 100 yearsago, the Titanic had yet to sink.
Beierle, who is mentallysharp and lives on her own, suspects that she's still around because of"good living, "which she describes as no smoking or drinking, andgood luck.
"I can'tcomplain," she said, shortly after her birthday earlier this month."I haven't had any serious matter with me. "
Some people live longbecause they've essentially won the genetic lottery, said Brian Kennedy, anexpert on aging who also happens to be Beierle's grandson.
"They chose the rightparents," said Kennedy, president and chief executive officer of theCalifornia-based Buck Institute for Research on Aging.
But for the rest of us, health behaviors do matter, he and otherssay.
"It's like 30 percentgenetics, 70 percent lifestyle," said Dr. Deborah Danner of theSanders-Brown Center on Aging at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Ky." After you turn 80, it's more genetics than anything else,because if youmake it to 80 and you don't have heart disease, hypertension ( 高血压 )—— allthose kind of things—— you're very unlikely to getthem. "
Last year, the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventionreleased a study showing that people who practiced healthy habits lived longerthan those who didn't. Those behaviors included eating healthfully, getting regularphysical activity, keeping alcohol use moderate, and never smoking.
Dr. Roxanne Sukol, medical director of the Cleveland Clinic'sWellness Enterprise, tells people to place an emphasis on being active; makingsmart dietary choices such as avoiding trans fat; and managing stress.
"I think the most important choices that we make are at theintersection of those three aspects," said Sukol,who suggests shiftingyour diet away from packaged and processed foods. "Soda, potato chips,even granola bars...I don't eat anything that has 52 ingredients in theingredient list. "
She also advocates a daily walk or other physical activity, suchas yard work.
Kennedy suggests getting good-quality sleep and taking steps toslash excess calories.
Cutting back on red meat also might be helpful. In a studypublished online this month by the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchersat the Harvard School of Public Health found that regular consumption of redmeat,especially processed meat, was associated with an increased risk ofmortality.
Eating one serving a day of unprocessed red meat was associated witha 13 percent risk of mortality. Having a serving a day of processed meat, suchas one hot dog or two slices of bacon, was associated with a 20 percent increasedrisk.
In a study published online this month by the Journal of theAmerican Medical Association, people who met a half dozen or more recommendedcardiovascular health measures had a lower risk of death than people who met a lotfewer ones. The factors or behaviors included being physically active, eating ahealthy diet and not smoking.
Other factors includedhaving normal blood pressure, blood sugar, total cholesterol (胆固醇 ) and weight.
Sukol strongly recommendsnot smoking.
Cigarette smoking "isassociated with a number of serious illnesses, not the least of which ishardening of the arteries, and that affects your heart, your brain, yourkidneys, everything," she said.
Positivity also may play arole in living longer.
Danner and colleaguesanalyzed the autobiographies of about 180 Catholic nuns, scoring them onemotional content. The autobiographies were written when the women were intheir late teens and early 20s.
"Some were morepositive than others," said Danner, director of education and outreach forthe Alzheimer's Disease Center at Sanders-Brown. "They would have similarevents, but some people would describe them as just matter-of-fact-‘ I wasbore'-in contrast to ‘I was welcomed into this joyous world.' "
The study, which waspublished in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in May 2001,"found that the sisters who used more positive emotion words in thoseearly writings lived 8 to 10 years longer," Danner said.
"If you're morepositive, something bad can happen, but you're quickly able to work throughit," she said.
"And as you do that, then it has less stress on your body'sorgans. "
Some of Beierle's relativescredit her positivity, in addition to good genes, with helping her to live toage 100.
Beierle, a mother of two,also stayed active for most of her life, doing things like swimming and award-winningbowling.
But Kennedy, 45, said manycentenarians have not followed the health advice being preached today.
"If you askcentenarians when they were in their 50s what did they do, what you find isthat they tended to be a little bit heavier than the average population, theywere more likely to smoke, they did drink a little bit less, but that's even abit surprising because moderate alcohol consumption is associated withlongevity," he said.
"They weren'tvegetarians. They didn't exercise. Nothing we tell people to do. But they'rethe exception, not the rule. "
Ultimately, Kennedy said,"You can take charge of your own aging. "

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each is followedby some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and markthe corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through thecentre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
People's tastes in recreation differ widely. At a recent festivalof pop-music in the Isle of Wight, crowds of teenagers flocked to listen totheir favorite singers and musicians. They went with single railway tickets andslept in the open, a very risky thing to do in the climate of Britain, even inAugust. They were packed together like sardines for four days. There wereinnumerable thieves, a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up,and police were everywhere. At the end of the festival many young fans foundthemselves broke, with no money left, and they had difficulty in getting backhome. Most people would consider these conditions a nightmare of discomfort;the fans appeared to enjoy it all enormously.
Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts ofopen un-spoilt country, where people with more traditional tastes can go forquiet, and for the sense of freedom they derive from contact with nature. Inthe national parks especially, modem development of housing and industry isstrictly controlled. Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of thegreatest beauty and wildness, and often of considerable historic or scientific interest.Along the coasts of some of the maritime counties, public pathways have beencreated; these paths stretch for many miles along cliffs that look out on theAtlantic Ocean or the English Channel. Another path,lying inland, goes alongthe range of mountains in the north of England. It is called the Pennine Way.Here, the long-distance walker and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy,without feeling disturbed by large numbers of their fellows.
Yet few people make full use of the national parks established foreveryone's benefit. The commonest thing nowadays is for family groups to motorout to a beautiful spot and park their cars in a lay-by ( 英国的路旁停车带). A picnic basket isproduced, along with a folding table and chairs, a kettle and a portable stove.They then
settle down to a picnic in the lay-by beside the car. Apparentlytheir idea of enjoyment is to get into the fresh air and amongst the countrysights and sounds without having to walk a yard. They seem almost to like tohear and to smell the traffic.

Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it isfor a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose issettled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is tofind it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walkinto a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it instock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceedsat once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less thanfive minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not havewhat he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case thesalesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else——heoffers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings outsuch a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish. "I know thisjacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size?It happens to be the color you mentioned. " Few men have patience withthis treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the
right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting mytime and yours by trying it on. "
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost everyrespect she does so in the opposite way.Her shopping is not often based onneed. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she isonly"having a look around". She is "always open to persuasion;indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells
her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any numberof things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something thateveryone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellentsense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look-out for theunexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spendan hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, beforeselecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, butapparently an enjoyable one. So most
dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
62. When a man is buying clothes, __________
A) he chooses things that others recommend
B) he buys cheap things, regardless of quality
C) he buys good things, so long as they are not too expensive
D) he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right firings
63. In commerce a good salesman is one who__________
A) sells something a customer does not particularly want
B) always has in stock the thing the customer wants
C) can find out quickly the goods required
D) does not waste his time on difficult customers
64. What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what he wants?
A) He buys something that is similar enough to the ideal one.
B) He usually does not buy anything.
C) At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.
D) So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.
65. According to this passage, when shopping for clothes,women__________
A) often buy things without thinking
B) seldom buy cheap clothes
C) welcome suggestions from anyone
D) never take any advice
66. What is the most obvious difference between men and womenshoppers?
A) The tact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.
B) Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.
C) Women stand up while shopping, but men sit down.
D) The time they take over buying clothes.

Today, the Internet has become an indispensable part of our life.We can have a video-chat with friends who are on the other side of the planet;we order food or buy other things through websites... The Internet provides uswith so much convenience that it has changed the way we live.
Wherever there is access to the Internet, communication can becarried out through instant messaging,online communities, micro-blogs and soforth. But despite the great convenience the Internet brings about, we find thedistance among people becomes farther, instead of nearer. We play online gamesand forget to call the family; we sit alone surfing the net with mobile phoneswhen classmates are gathering together; children today often play with thetablet computers, rather than with other kids from the neighborhood.
In my view, we should use the Internet reasonably, and keep inmind that the real life is much more meaningful than the virtual one. To becloser to other people, we should talk with them, using our voice, instead offinger tips. And we should pass this idea on to the younger generation.
【译文】
互联网与人们之间的距离
如今,互联网已经成为我们生活中不可或缺的一部分。我们能和地球另一端的朋友进行视频聊天;我们通过网站订餐或者购买其他商品……互联网为我们提供了如此多的便利,以至于已经改变了我们的生活方式。只要是能接入互联网的地方,人们就可以通过即时通讯软件、网络社区、微博等进行交流。但尽管互联网带来了如此大的便利,我们却发现人与人之间的距离变得越来越疏远,而不是越来越亲近。我们可能只顾着玩网络游戏而忘了给家人打电话,也可能在同学聚会的时候独自在角落里用手机上网;如今的小孩经常是在玩平板电脑,而不是和邻居家的小孩一起玩。在我看来,我们应该合理使用互联网,并且记住:真实世界要比虚拟世界更有意义。为了拉近与他人的距离,我们应该用声音而不是用指尖多与他们交流。而且我们应该将这一理念传递给年轻的一代。
【要点用法】
indispensable不可或缺的
micro—blog微博
video—chat视频聊天
tablet computer平板电脑
instant messaging即时通讯软件
virtual虚拟的
online community阚络社区
finger rid指尖
【句法点评】
1.The Internet provides us with so much convenience that it haschanged the way we live.
介绍互联网的影响,使用so…that…结构来进行强调。provide sb.with sth.意为“为某人提供某物”。
2.Where there is access to the Internet,communicationcall be carried out through…
wherever意为“无论在哪里”,引导条件状语从句。accessto the Internet意为“接入互联网的通路或途径”。逗号后面为被动语态,增加了句式的多样性。
3.But despite the great convenience the Internet brings about,we find the distance among people becomes farther,instead of nearer.
despite意为“尽管”,表示让步,其后面可以直接接名词或名词短语。bring about意为“带来”。instead of意为“而不是”,有强调的作用。
4.…children today often play with the tablet computers,rather than with other kids from the neighborhood.
rather than后面为避免重复,承前省略了play。“邻居家的孩子”即为kids from the neighborhood。
Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming andScanning)
【答案解析】
1.C
线索词:Beierle thinks she lives long
定位处:第二段。
解析:原文提到:“贝邵尔头脑敏捷,生活独立,她认为自己身体依然很硬朗是由于她拥有‘良好的生活’.对于自己‘良好的生活’她这样描述道:不吸烟不喝酒,外加好运气。”应注意本题是问贝耶尔自己所认为的原因,选项C中的good lifestyle是原文中good living的同义转述,故为正确答案。
2.D
线索词:genetic lottery
定位处:第四段。
解析:原文提到:Some people live long because they’ve essentially won the geneticlottery,有些人之所以长寿,主要是因为他们基因好。而基因好的人就像是中了长寿基因的彩票。因此如果人们“中了长寿基因的彩票”,则很可能会长寿。故选D。
3.C
线索词:Dr.Danner
定位处:第七段。
解析:原文提到:丹纳博士说,“人过了80岁,基因起的作用就大于其他因素。因为如果你能活到80岁而没有心脏病、高血压等类似疾病的困扰,那么很可能你以后也不会患这些病症了。”可见,那些活过80岁而没有重大疾病的人应该感谢他们所遗传的良好基因。故选C。
4.C
线索词:making smart dietary choices
定位处:第九段后半部分和第十段。
解析:原文提到:罗克珊苏科尔博士告诫人们要重视保持活跃,合理膳食,避免摄入反式脂肪酸,乎衡压力。她建议不要再吃带包装的加工食品,“像苏打水、著条,甚至燕麦卷这一类的……配料表里有52种原料的食品我就不吃了、”所以,如C项中所说“选择包装良好、加工精细的食品”不属于明智的饮食选择。
5.A
线索词:published,red meat,riskof mortality
定位处:第十三段。
解析:题于要求将一项研究结果与发表该结果的期刊相对应。文中提到了多部期刊,其中第十三段提到:“此外,少吃红色肉类也可能有帮助。本月《内科医学文献》(Archives ofInternal Medicine)在网上发布了一项研究结果:哈佛大学公共卫生学院的研究人员发现,死亡风险的增加与经常食用红色肉类(特剐是加工过的肉类)有关。”故选A。
6.D
线索词:strongly recommends not smoking
定位处:文中第十七、九段。
解析:原文提到:Sukol strongly recommends not smoking.苏科尔强烈建议不要吸烟。我们即可知道是苏科尔(Suk01)强烈建议不要吸烟,但选项中并没有提及Sukol,因此要弄清她的身份。文中第九段开头说:罗克珊苏科尔博士是克利夫兰诊所健康事业的医疗总监(medical director ofthe Clevel and Clinic’SWellness Enterprise)。故可知答案是选项D。
7.A
线索词:autobiographies of about 180 Catholic nuns
定位处:第二十段。
解析:文中第二十段提到研究人员研究了约180名天主教修女的自传,但该段并未指出此项研究的原因和目的,继续读下去到第二十二段,其中谈到这项研究发现在其早期自传中较多使用积极情绪词汇的修女寿命要比其他人长8至10年。可见研究她们的自传,就是为了辨别积极的心态是否会有助于长寿。第二十三段则继续说:如果人们心态更加积极,生活中不好的事情对身体器官所产生的压力就会更少。这进一步说明了积极的心态对健康长寿所起的作用。故选A。
8.who used more positive emotion words in those early writings
线索词:nuns,lived 8 t0 10 years longer
定位处:倒数第八段。
解析:原文提到:丹纳说,“在其早期自传中较多使用积极情绪词汇的修女寿命要比其他人长8至10年、”被挖空的部分为修饰nuns的后置定语,正确答案为who used more positive emotion words in those early writings。
9.1ive to age 100
线索词:Beierle’S positivity
定位处:倒数第六段。
解析:原文提到:除了良好的寿命基因,贝耶尔的一些亲戚还把她的百岁高龄归功于她本人的乐观豁达。因此答案为live to age l00。
10.the exception,not the rule
线索词:Kennedy,have not followed the health advice
定位处:倒数第四段。
解析:原文提到:肯尼迪说,很多年逾百岁的老人都没有遵循如今被广为宣扬的一些健康建议。倒数第二段又提到:“他们不是素食主义者,也从不锻炼。我们建议人们做的事情他们都不做。但是他们只是特殊情况,不是普遍规律。”因此答案为the exception,notthe rule

Then maybe this is for you. [29] When you worry aboutneeding sleep and twisting around, trying to find a comfortable position,you're probably only making matters worse. What happens is that your heart rateactually increases, making it more difficult to relax. You may also have somebad habits that contribute to the problem.[30]Do you rest frequently during theday? Do you get virtually no exercise, or do you exercise strenuously late inthe day?
Do you think about sleeping a lot orsleeping late on weekends? Any or all of these factors might be leading to yourinsomnia by disrupting your body's natural rhythm. What should you do then onthose sleepless nights? [31] Don't bother with sleeping pills. They canactually cause worse insomnia later. The best thing to do is to drink milk oreat cheese or tuna fish. They are all rich in the amino acid that helps producein the brain a neurotransmitter that induces sleep.

Passage Three
【听力原文】
[32]We've just discussed how most snakes move,but there are some notable exceptions. One is the snake called the"American side-winder". From its name, you can probably guess that itmoves sideways rather than in a straight line. This is because it lives in thedesert where the sand slips and slides. [33] With nothing firm to push againstfor traction, the side-winder has had to adapt its way of movement to theshifting sand. It pushes against the sand with the entire side of its body, andthen move sideways or sidesteps. Think about how a skier climbs a slope onskies. The skier places the skies at an angle of approximately 90 degrees tothe direction of movement. The skier then moves each ski by taking a step tothe side up the slope. The side-winder snake moves in much the same manner. Itlays its body at about 60 degree angle to the direction in which it wants togo. By doing this, the snake has more sand to push against. Then it points itshead in the direction it wants to go and leaps to a parallel spot. Contractionsdown the length of the snake's body three the remainder of the body to follow.[34] If you see the tracks left by a side-winder in loose sand, you'll see aseries of paralleled lines. [35] An added advantage gained from this method ofmoving may be that the snake's body is kept cooler by the breaking of contactwith the hot sand during its leaps.
32. What is the main topic of the talk'?
33. Why does the side-winder move the wayit does?
34. What do the side-winder's tracks looklike?
35. What may be a special advantage of theside-winder's method of moving?

【解题思路】四项均为以to开头的不定式短语,而不定式短语通常可以表示目的。因此本题很可能考查某种做法的目的是什么。
【解析】题干问这种斜行蛇为什么要这样移动,短文中提到:“With nothing firm to push against for traction.the side—winder has had to adapt its way of movemtent to theshifting sand.(由于找不到坚硬的东西来提供支撑摩擦力,斜行蛇只能使其移动的方式适应松软的细沙环境。)”接着,讲话者将这种蛇的移动方式与滑雪者的行进路线进行了类比,故选B。

【参考译文】
新年假期会很快成为遥远的回忆,而对很多人来说,新年的减肥计划也会很快被抛之脑后。调查显示。尽管有260万人在新年第一天开始节食,但在该星期结束时,已有92%的节食减肥者放弃,[47]不再运动。而且开始大吃大喝。减重中心XLS医院[48]发布的这项调查结果表明,[49]大多数人都无法在制定节食减肥计划的一周内坚持五天以上。五分之一的节食减肥者[50]承认自己在第四五天的时候就坚持不住了,他们提到的主要原因是饥饿。单调乏味和酒精的刺激[51]也让他们无法坚持瘦身计划。国家肥胖论坛医疗主任马特-凯普霍恩博士[52]强调说,仅仅一天不坚持节食就会毁掉一周的努力。告诉《女优先》杂志说:“健康的节食是一星期减去1磅,这需要一周内减少3500卡路里的摄取,而一天减少500卡路里的摄取即可。”“一天不节食应该意味着你摄入正确的食量,而很多节食者却把它当做大吃大喝的理由,摄取的卡路里数量比需要的多出好几千。”调查结果显示,有[53]多达59万人可能已经[54]放弃了新年减肥计划。而且还有很多人不清楚一天不坚持节食对其减肥计划有何负面影响。然而[55]总的来说,仅有5%的女性能坚持到最后,直到[56]达到目标体重。
【说明文:新年减肥计划大多难以实现】
第一段:有许多人在新年的时候立志减肥,但一星期后绝大多数人都已经放弃。
第二段:由于饥饿等原因,大多数都无法坚持节食五天以上。
第三段:仅仅一天不节食就会毁掉一天的努力。
第四段:只有很少一部分人能够成功实现自己的减肥目标。
【答案解析】
47.E
语法判断:exercise后是and,而and前后应为并列结构(又称平行结构),因为and后为90rging on comfort food,所以前面也应当是现在分词短语,因此应填入现在分词。备选项中只有shunning是现在分词,因此答案很明确。语义判断:shun:(故意或习惯地)避免;回避,躲开。从语义上判断也是正确的。
48.G
语法判断:此处应为定语来修饰findings,后为by,而过去分词既表示被动又可用作后置宾语,所以此处应填入过去分词。
语义判断:备选的过去分词或过去式有reached、highlighted、blamed、released、lost、admitted、treated、dieted、failed,但从上下文语义判断,意思应为:由减重中心XLS医院发布的调查或研究结果,所以应选择released。
49.N
语法判断:空格前的me是冠词,空格后的majority是名词,因此应当填入定语。
语义判断:符合语法条件的词有很多:massive、reached、highlighted、blamed、lost、admitted、treated、dieted、overall、vast、failed,而a vast majority是个近乎固定的搭配,意为“大多数”,故本题选N。
50.J
语法判断:此句缺谓语,后接一个省略了that的宾语从句。可作谓语的选项有reached、highlighted、blamed、lost、admitted、treated、dieted、failed,根据文章,可知只有admitted符合。
语义判断:该句意为:五分之一的节食减肥者承认自己在第四五天的时候就坚持不住了。
51.I
语法判断:此句主、谓、宾都不缺,而空格出现在were和blamed之问,所以应为状语,因而应填入副词。语义判断:备选的副词有still、also和overall,上文提到了饥饿是人们放弃减肥的原因之一。而此处提到单调乏味和酒精的刺激也是让人们放弃减肥的原因,因而从语义上判断,只有also符合上下文意。
52.C
语法判断:此句缺谓语,应填入动词,其后接宾语从句。
语义判断:备选的动词有reached、highlighted、blamed、lost、treated、dieted、failed.但从上下文语义判断,此处意思应为:国家肥胖论坛医疗主任马特凯普霍恩博士强调说,仅仅一天不坚持节食就会毁掉 一周的努力。highlighted符合此处语法和语义的要求。
53.A
语法判断:a和590,000之间应该是形容词。
语义判断:备选的形容词还有massive和overall,从上下文语义判断massive应为正确选择。
54.O
语法判断:could already have后应为过去分词。
语义判断:备选的过去分词有reached、blamed、lost、treated、dieted、failed。从上下文语义判断,此处的意思应为:调查结果显示,有多达59万人可能已经放弃了新年减肥计划。因而failed是语法判断和语义判断后的最佳选择。
55.M
语法判断:此句主、谓、宾完垫,应填入副词。
语义判断:备选的副词还有still和overall。overall意为“总体上,总的来说”,符合此处的语法和语义要求。
56.B
语法判断:空格前面是they’ve,故后面应接过去分词。
语义判断:空格后为target weight(目标体重),故按照语义和固定的搭配来进行判断,应为reached,即 “达到目标体重”。

Passage One
【参考译文】
人们对于体闲娱乐的品位大相径庭。在英国怀特岛最近举办的一次流行音乐节上,青少年们成群结队地去听他们最喜爱的歌手和音乐家演唱。[57]他们只买得起去音乐节的单程火车票,甚至不惜露宿街头,在英国那种气候条件下,即便是在八月份,他们的这种行为也是非常危险的。他们像沙丁鱼一样在音乐节上挤了四天。音乐节现场有数不清的盗贼,一伙暴徒几次三番试图捣乱,而且到处都是警察。[58]音乐节结束后,许多年轻歌迷发现自己身无分文,想要回家都很困难。大多数人都会认为这种情形简直像噩梦一样叫人不爽.但是歌迷们似乎仍乐在其中。
[59]即便是在英国这样拥挤的国家,也有一大片一大片未遭破坏的乡村地区,在那里,有着更多传统品位的人们可以寻求安静以及他们在同大自然接触过程中产生的自由感。特别是在国家级公园所在的地区,房产和工业的现代发展受到严格限制。游客可以步行几英里,游览极度迷人而又十分原始的风景,以及大量历史和科学景点。[60]一些海滨县城修建了公路;这些公路沿羞悬崖峭壁一直延伸,而这些峭壁则紧挨着大西洋或英吉利海峡。在内陆还有另一奈公路,沿英国北部的山脉修成,被称作奔宁公路。在这里,远途旅行者和热爱大自然的人能够收获不少乐趣,而不会有被大批其他游人打搅的感觉。
国家级公园是为造福公众而修建的,然而,很少有人能够充分利用这一资源。[61]现下最为常见的事情就是,全家人一起开车去一个美丽的景点,将主停在路边的停车带。他们全出野餐篮、折叠式桌椅、一把水壶和一台便携式火炉,然后在自己车的附近安顿下来,开始一顿野餐。显然,他们对娱乐的观点是呼吸新鲜空气,身处乡间,不用行走一步就能欣赏美景,听闻乡村之声。他们似乎很喜欢用耳朵和鼻子去感受乡间的车马交通。
【议论文:英国人对休闲娱乐的品位大相径庭】
第一段:点题,提出人们对于休闲娱乐的品位大相径庭,并指出英国的一些青少年很热褒于参加音乐节。
第二段:英国有一些未受工业化影响的乡村、国家公园,吸引了不少热爱大自然的人。

60.B
定位:根据题干信息public pathways可将答案定位到第二段第四句。
解析:原文提到,一些海滨县城修建了公路,在内陆,沿英国北部的山脉也有一条公路。远途旅行者和热爱大自然的人能够收获不少乐趣,而且不会有被大批其他游人打搅的感觉。可见,开辟公路就是为了让人们能够享受远足,享受自然,故选B。
61.A

PassageTwo
【参考译文】
买衣服对男人和女人来说是不同的经历。[62]男人去购物是因为他需要某些东西。他的目的是既定的,而且提前就做好了决定。他知道自己需要什么:而他的目的就是找到那个东西并买下来,价格倒在其次。[66]男人都是直接走进商店:询问店员自己想要买的东西。如果店里有贷,销售员能及时找到,而且马上就能试穿或试用,这一切顺利的话:整个交易一般在五分钟之内就可以完成。虽然几乎没什么言语交谈。但是买卖双方各自都满意。
[63]对于男人来说:如果商店没有他想买的东西或者并不完全符合他心里的条件,可能会引发一些小问题。在那种情况下,导购就要像自己的职业名称(导“购”)所暗示的那样,尝试卖给顾客别的东西:他把跟顾客要求最接近的东西推荐给他。优秀的导购都不会贸然向顾客推荐替代品,他会花一番心思和技巧。比如,他会说:“先生,我知道这件上衣不是您想要的样式,但您能否试一下,看看大小合不合适。它的颜色刚好符合您的要求。”[64]对于这种情况:男人很少会买账,他们一般都会说:“也许衣服的颜色和大小都合适,但要是让我试穿的话,既浪费了你的时间,也浪费了我的。”
现在来看一下女人买衣服的过程是怎样的呢?每个环节差不多都和男人相反。女人购物通常都不是因为有什么需求。她从来都没完全决定自己想要买什么,只是“四处看看”。[65]女人总是肯听他人的劝说,她重视女店员的话:甚至是同伴的话。她会什么都试穿一下。在她内心深处:她要找的衣服,是所有人都认为适合她的。与很多笑话里讲的不同,很多女人在买衣服的时候还是精打细算的。她们总是在寻找意外的超值商品。[66]面对一屋子衣服:她们也许很容易就花上一个小时,一排排浏览,来来回回乐此不疲;她们会不时地折返脚步,直到发现自己想试穿的衣服。这是个累人的过程,但是很显然,她们很享受这个过程。因此大部分服装店都为那些等待的丈夫提供座椅。
【议论文:男人和女人的购物习惯不同】
第一段:男人总是有明确目的地去购买自己需要的东西,不怎么关注价格,而且成交很快。
第二段:如果没有男人要买的东西,即使导购很有技巧地推销其他商品,男人也很可能不买账。
第三段:女人在购物时与男人大相径庭,她们并没有明确的目标,往往花费很多时间逛来逛去以寻找自己中意的、备受称赞的或者超值的商品。
【答案解析】
62.D
定位:根据题干信息when a man is buying clothes可将答案定位到文章前两段。
解析:第一段中提到:“男人去购物是因为他需要某些东西。他的目的是既定的,而且提前就做好了决定。他知道自己需要什么,而他的目的就是找到那个东西并买下来,价格倒在其次。”可见,男士不怎么会考虑价格,故选D。
63.A
定位:根据题干信息a good salesman可将答案定位到第二段第二句。
解析:第二段开头提到:“对于男人来说,如果商店没有他想买的东西或者并不完全符合他心里的条件,可能会引发一些小问题。在那种情况下,导购就要像自己的职业名称(导‘购’)所暗示的那样,尝试卖给顾客别的东西:他把跟顾客要求最接近的东西推荐给他。”可见,一名优秀的导购是能成功将其他东西推销给顾客的,故选A。
64.B
定位:根据题干信息cannot get exactly what he wants可将答案定位到第二段第一句。
解析:第二段描述的是如果商店没有与男人想象的完全一样的商品时,会出现什么情况。题干的重点在于男人的反应,因此寻读到第二段结尾处,此处作者提到:“对于这种情况,男人很少会买账,他们一般都会说:‘也许衣服的颜色和大小都合适,但要是让我试穿的话,既浪费了你的时间,也浪费了我的。”’可见,在这种情况下,男人一般是什么都不会买的,故选B。
65.C
定位:根据题干信息when shopping for clothes,women可将答案定位到第三段。
解析:第三段中提到:“女人总是肯听他人的劝说,她重视女店员的话,甚至是同伴的话。她会什么都试穿一下。在她内心深处,她要找的衣服,是所有人都认为适合她的。”可见,女士很容易听取他人的建议。故C项为正确答案。
66.D
定位:根据题干信息the most obvious difference betweenmen and women可知解答本题需通观全文。但由于涉及女性的购物特点,因此可到第三段寻找线索。
解析:在讲男人买衣服的情况时,作者提到:“如果店里有货,销售员能及时找到,而且马上就能试穿或试用,这一切顺利的话,整个交易一般在五分钟之内就可以完成。”在讲女人买衣服的情况时,作者提到:“面对一屋子衣服,她们也许很容易就花上一个小时,一排排浏览,来来回回乐此不疲;她们会不时地折返脚步,直到发现自己想试穿的衣服。”因此,男人与女人在买衣服问题上最主要的区别就很明显了,故本题应选D。
Part V的Cloze
【文章大意】
创造性和富于想象力的思维并不是天才所特有的,在我们解决问题的过程中就包含着创造性的因索。我们提出问题并且解决问题的过程就是创造性思考的过程。有创造性的人头脑中储备有大量的信息,并且保持着好奇心,他们能利用现有的资源,发现新的结合点,并且不在乎别人怎样看待自己那些疯狂的想法。
【答案解析】
67.B
语境分析:本空位于第一段首句。该句意为“当我们想起那些有创造力的人时,涌入脑海的人名可能是达芬奇、爱因斯坦等——一些拥有杰出的天赋的人”,根据and些genius可知“——talent”是和genius并列的,表达“罕见的能力或天分”之意,结合选项可知只有B项符合句意。词义分析:scarce“稀有的,罕见的;缺乏的,不足的”,在句中多作表语;rare“稀有的,罕见的;杰出的”;little“少的”;weird“怪异的”。
68.C。
语境分析:本空位于第一段第二句。由句中的creativity和——thinking之间用and连接可知此处表示的是“创造力和富有想象力的思考”,结合选项可知只有C项符合句意。词义分析:illustrious“著名的,杰出的”;illustrative“解说性的”;imaginative“有想象力的”;imaginary “幻想的”。
69.D
语境分析:本空依然位于第一段第二句。此处是指“把创造力和富有想象力的思考看做一些幸运的人所特有的——这样一种倾向”,分析选项可知D项符合句意。词义分析:district“地区”,多强调行政区域;region“地区”,多指地理区域;activity“活动”;province除表示“省份”外,还表示“领域,范围”。
70.A
语境分析:本空仍位于第一段第二句。句子的谓语是disregards。该句意为:“把创造力和富有想象力的思考看做一些幸运的人所特有的领域这样一种倾向忽视了在我们经常不得不面对的很多任务的解决方法中本就存在着创造性方面这一事实。”根据后文中的“the——and development of new methods and techniques.the improvement of old methods…”可知此处应为creative aspects,故应选A。
词义分析:aspect“方面”;thin9“事情”;prospect“前景,希望”;expectation“预期”。
71.B
语境分析:本空还是位于第一段第二句。要解答本题需要考虑逻辑关系,new methodsand techniques是要先发现,再发展的,结合选项可知本题应选择discovery,与development并列。
词义分析:invention“发明”;discovery“发现”;analysis“分析”;advancement“前进,进步”。
72.D
语境分析:本空是第一段第二句中的第五个空,也是最后一个空。四个选项均为形容词,用来修饰其后的inventionsand products。根据空格前的old methods可知空格后的“发明和产品”应该是现存的,所以才和旧方法一样都需要改进、完善,因此D项符合题意。
词义分析:temporary“一时的”;extant“现存的”,多强调文件等;alive“活着的”;existing“现存的”。
73.D
语境分析:本空位于第二段第一句。本句意为“从某种程度上讲,每个人都具有创造力”。考查固定搭配to some extent,其意为“在某种程度上”,故D项为正确答案。
词义分析:expanse“(海洋等的)广阔区域”;boundary“分界线”;expansion“扩大,膨胀”;extent“程度”。
74.C
语境分析:本空位于第二段第二句。本句对“创造性思考”进行了定义。大意是指要先提出问题,然后从新的、非传统的角度找出解决问题的方法。结合四个选项可知C项符合题意。involve一词常用于解释和定义某事物。
词义分析:conclude“总结”;include“包括”;involve“涉及”;exclude“不包括”。
75.A
语境分析:本空还是位于第二段第二句。根据空格后的“or inventing a solution”可知填入空中的词与inventing并列,表示同样的意思,结合四个选项可知A项符合题意。
词义分析:originate“发明,创作(某事物)”;orientate“使熟悉,使适应”;organize“组织”;oscillate“使某物摆动”。
76.A
语境分析:本空位于第二段第三句。由上题的分析可知,本空所在的句子想要表达的意思是创造性思维还涉及——新的类似点,发现新的结合点,或者对已知事物进行新的应用。结合四个选项可知A项符合题意。词义分析:draw“比较,对比”;imagine“想象”;paint“绘画”;follow“跟随”。
77.B
语境分析:本空位于第二段第四句。承接上句,本句所要表达的是创造性思维发现问题后接下来应该做什么。分析句子结构可知it为形式主语,真正的主语是that从句,由then可知,“itfollows”最符合上下文意。词义分析:dawn on“逐渐明白”;follow“紧接着”;realize“意识到”;comprehend“理解”。
78.D
语境分析:本空还是位于第二段第四句。此处意为“随后,有创造力的人——他们在智力方面强大的好奇心和想象力”。比较四个选项,demonstrate最符合句意,表示“展示”,故选D项。词义分析:perform“表演”;showoff“炫耀”;showaround“带领……参观”;demonstrate“展示”。
79.C
语境分析:本空位于第二段第五句。空格前的内容意为:“有创造力的人在解决问题的过程中对大量的信息十分警觉,具有敏锐的观察力。”由and可知,“——out”和combine是并列关系,四个选项中最适合与“整合”并列的应该是sort(out)。
词义分析:seek out“找出,挑出”;workout“算出”;sort out“分类”;find out“发现”。
80.A
语境分析:本空位于第二段第六句。本句继续说明有创造力的人的特性,由and连接两个will be和一个will not be结构。根据空格后的“…will be able to communicate uninhibitedly”可知有创造力的人将会比较容易接受新的或者是非传统的想法,也能够无拘无束地表达自己的想法等,结合四个选项可知A项正确。
词义分析:receptive“善于接受的”;hearty“诚恳的”;indifferent“冷漠的”;notable“显著的”。
81.B
语境分析:本空位于第二段第六句。空格出现在will not be部分,该句意为“有创造力的人将不会太——其他人对他看似比较疯狂的——作何反应,”他们既然有创造性的想法,就往往会比较特立独行。分析选项可知B项最符合题意。词义分析:angry“发怒的”;concerned“关注的,关心的”;happy“高兴的”;satisfied“满意的”。
82.C
语境分析:本空仍位于第二段第六句。根据文章最后一句所举的怀特兄弟发明飞机的例子可知,有创造力的人的想法往往都是有异于常人的一些疯狂的“念头”,结合选项可知本题选择C项。词义分析:illness“疾病”;impression“印象”;notions“观念,想法”;thinking“想法”,为不可数名词,词尾不能加s。
83.D
语境分析:本空位于第二段最后一句。承接上句可知本句应意为“人们认为怀特兄弟疯了”,危险与否并不是该语境所暗含的最重要的信息,故本题应选D。词义分析:dangerous“危险的”;conventional“常规的”;risky“冒险的”;mad“疯狂的”。
84.C
语境分析:本空位于第二段最后一句。考查stop的用法,stop sb.from doing sth.意为“阻止某人做某事”,故四个选项中C项正确。词义分析:to“对于”;for“为了”;from“从……”;by“通过……”。
85.B
语境分析:本空仍位于第二段最后一句。根据空格前的becoming the first men可知要用带to的不定式结构作后置定语,即“成为第一个……的人”,故选B项。词义分析:分词结构constructing表示动作正在发生;to construct表示动作即将发生,作后置定语:having constructed表示动作已经发生;for constructing表目的。
86.D
语境分析:本空仍位于第二段的最后一句。根据历史常识可知怀特兄弟发明的飞行器是普通飞机。而不是卫星、气球或者航天飞机,故选D项。词义分析:satellite“卫星”;balloon“气球”;spaceshuttle“航天飞机”;craft“飞机”。
