    Freud’s Study on “Human Mind”
    Most people often dream at night. When they wake in the morning they say to themselves, “What a strange dream I had! I wonder what made me dream that.”Sometimes dreams are frightening. Sometimes, in dreams, wishes come true. At other times we are troubled by strange dreams in which the world seems to have been turned upside-down and nothing makes sense.
    In dreams we do things which we would never do when we're awake. We think and say things we would never think and say. Why are dreams so strange and unfamiliar? Where do dreams come from?
    No one has produced a more satisfying answer than a man called Sigmund Freud. He said that dreams come from a part of one's mind which one can neither recognize nor control. He named this the “unconscious mind” .
    Sigmund Freud was born about a hundred years ago. He lived most of his life in Vienna, Austria, but ended his days in London, soon after the beginning of the Second World War.The new worlds Freud explored were inside man himself. For the unconscious mind is like a deep well, full of memories and feelings. These memories and feelings have been stored there from the moment of our birth. Our conscious mind has forgotten them. We do not suspect that they are there until some unhappy or unusual experience causes us to remember, or to dream dreams. Then suddenly we see the same thing and feel the same way we felt when we were little children.
    This discovery of Freud's is very important if we wish to understand why people act as they do. For the unconscious forces inside us are at least as powerful as the conscious forces we know about. Sometimes we do things without knowing why. If we don't, the reasons may lie deep in our unconscious minds.
    When Freud was a child he cared about the sufferings of others, so it isn't surprising that he became a doctor when he grew up. He learned all about the way in which the human body works. But he became more and more curious about the human mind. He went to Paris to study with a famous French doctor, Charcot. At that time it seemed that no one knew very much about the mind. If a person went mad, or “out of his mind”, there was not much that could be done about it. People didn't understand at all what was happening to the madman. Had he been possessed by a devil or evil spirit? Was God punishing him for wrong-doing? Often such people were shut away from the ordinary people as if they had done some terrible crime.
    This is still true today in many places. Doctors prefer to experiment on those parts of a man which they can see and examine. If you cut a man's head open you can see his brain. But you can't see his thoughts or ideas or dreams.
    In Freud's day few doctors were interested in these subjects. Freud wanted to know how our minds work. He learned a lot from Charcot. He returned to Vienna in 1886 and began work as a doctor in nerve diseases. He got married and began to receive more and more patients at home. Most of the patients who came to see him were women. They were over-excited and anxious, sick in mind rather than in body. Medicine did not help them. Freud was full of sympathy but he could do little to make them better.
    Then one day a friend, Dr Josef Breuer, came to see him. He told Freud about a girl he was looking after. The girl seemed to get better when she was allowed to talk about herself. She told Dr Breuer everything that came into her mind. And each time she talked to him she remembered more about her life as a little child. Freud was excited when he heard this. He began to try to cure his patients in the same way. He asked about the events of their early childhood. He urged them to talk about their own experiences and relationships. He himself said very little. Often, as he listened, his patients relived moments from their past life. They trembled with anger and fear, hate and love. They acted as though Freud was their father or mother or lover.The doctor did not make any attempt to stop them. He quietly accepted whatever they told him, the good things and the bad. Also one young woman who came to him couldn't drink anything, although she was very thirsty. Something prevented her from drinking.Freud discovered the reason for this. One day, as they were talking, the girl remembered having seen a dog drink from her nurse's glass. She hadn't told the nurse, whom she disliked. She had forgotten the whole experience. But suddenly this childhood memory returned to mind. When she had told it all to Dr Freud—the nurse, the dog, the glass of water —the girl was able to drink again.
    Freud called this treatment the ‘talking cure’. Later it was called psychoanalysis. When patients talked freely about the things that were troubling them they often felt better.
    The things that patients told him sometimes gave Freud a shock. He discovered that the feelings of very young children are not so different from those of their parents. A small boy may love his mother so much that he wants to kill his father. At the same time he loves his father and is deeply ashamed of this wish. It is difficult to live with such mixed feelings, so they fade away into the unconscious mind and only return in troubled dreams.It was hard to believe that people could become blind, or lose the power of speech, because of what had happened to them when they were children.
    Freud was attacked from all sides for what he discovered. But he also found firm friends. Many people believed that he had at last found a way to unlock the secrets of the human mind, and to help people who were very miserable. He had found the answer to many of life's great questions.He became famous all over the world and taught others to use the talking cure. His influence on modern art, literature and science cannot be measured. People who wrote books and plays, people who painted pictures and people who worked in schools, hospitals and prisons all learned something from the great man who discovered a way into the unconscious mind.Not all of Freud's ideas are accepted today. But others have followed where he led and have helped us to understand ourselves better. Because of him, and them, there is more hope today than there has ever been before for people who were once just called “crazy”.

    Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)
    Section A
    Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2.
    Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
    Many workers who worked in the World Trade Center after the September eleventh attacks became sick. They breathed a mix of dust, smoke and chemicals in the ruins of the Twin Towers and a third building that fell. Some went clays without good protection for their lungs. Five years later, many of the thousands who worked at Ground Zero in the early days after the attacks still have health problems.
    Doctors at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City have announced the results of the largest study of these workers. The study confirmed high rates of breathing problems in members of the building trades, firefighters, police officers and other workers. Almost seventy percent of the workers in the study had a new or worsened breathing problem. These problems developed during or after their time working in the mountain of wreckage. About sixty percent still had breathing problems at the time of their examination. The researchers say they decided to study the effects on breathing first because other disorders might be slower to appear. Mount Sinai says it tested almost twelve thousand people between two thousand two and two thousand four. Eight out of ten of them agreed to have their results used in the report. The new results added strength to a Mount Sinai study released in two thousand four. That study was based on only about one thousand workers.
    Some lawmakers have sharply criticized city and state officials for letting workers labor at Ground Zero without satisfactory equipment. Officials have also been criticized for saying the air was relatively safe. State and federal officials have promised more than fifty million dollars to pay for treatment of the workers. Doctor Robin Herbert is one of the directors of the Mount Sinai testing program. She says people are still coming to the hospital for treatment of problems that were caused by the dust at Ground Zero. In her words:" My worry is that money will be gone in a year, and what happens then?"
    47. What contributed to problems of the workers in World Trade Center after the attacks?
    48. Who had the most serious breathing problems according to the latest study?
    49. The researchers decided to carry on some study on the effects on breathing first because __________ might appear in a later period of time.
    50. ______ are sharply criticized by some lawmakers because they let workers labor at Ground Zero with out satisfactory equipment.
    51. What measures have the officials promised to take to deal with the health problem?
    Section B
    Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
    Passage One
    Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
    Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is "Don't!". But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, though the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed. The hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chances of working with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.
    Of course, some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and dull training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of Course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!
    52. According to the passage, the main reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors is ______.
    A) actors are very unusual people
    B) the course at the drama school lasts two years
    C) acting is really a hard job
    D) there are already too many actors

    A) they don't care if their job is hard
    B) they like the stage naturally
    C) they are born happy
    D) they are easily satisfied
    55. Conie Pratt soon became a famous actress after ______.
    A) learning some lessons about the art of speaking
    B) playing her part in the "Blue Colored Moon"
    C) successfully matching the most famous actors
    D) acting a leading part with a most famous actor at that time
    56. The phrase "once in a blue moon" in last line refers to ______.
    A) all at once
    B) once for a long time
    C) once in a while
    D) once and for all
    Passage Two
    Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
    The home service industry in Beijing is expected to become more attractive both as a job and as an industry.
    Sources at the Beijing People's Political Consultative Conference said resistance to home service work is melting away from minds of the city's laid-off workers. The Conference suggested the establishment of municipal centers which supervise property management, household mending and installation, and house keeping services. Modern city life is creating a need for industrialization home services. This will create job opportunities for laid-off workers, said Vice director of the Social Judicial Committee of the Conference.
    Beijing residents have long desired a home service industry. The demand is expected to drive new economic growth. There are few high quality home help services in Beijing and customers are always complaining.
    In the past, few laid-off workers in Beijing desired to work as home helpers, jobs largely taken by young women from the countryside. At the same time, some city residents have not felt safe trusting rural girls with modern household machines or with their small children. Many people would pay more for reliable house keepers who are more familiar with city life, but they have had no way of getting one, even though the city is home to thousands of laid-off workers.
    By the end of June this year, there were 30,600 jobless workers in the city. Most of them are women in their 40's, who are not blessed with particular skills and who have had their work ethics shaped by the planned economy. Many of them were at a loss when they first realized they had lost their jobs and a way of life they had got used to for decades.
    They never imagined being laid-off by state-owned enterprises; they never considered other kinds of employment. For them, the private sector meant taking risks; housekeeping implied lower social status. Gao yunfang, 44, is a pioneer who is breaking the ice. She sells the Beijing Morning Post in the morning, and works at two households in the afternoon. She earns 1,000 yuan per month. So she no longer worries about her daughter's tuition at a university in Shanghai.
    57. What is talked about in the passage?
    A) Home service.
    B) Modern city life.
    C) Laid-off worker.
    D) Social status.
    58. What does the word "laid-off' in the passage mean?
    A) Heavily-burdened.
    B) Old.
    C) Inexperienced.
    D) Jobless.
    59. Why were many laid-off workers at a loss?
    A) Because they didn't get used to the new way of life.
    B) Because they are too old to find a new job.
    C) Because they dislike being laid off.
    D) Because they think they lost their social status.
    60. Why didn't the laid-off workers like to do home services in the past?
    A) Low salary.
    B) Lower social status.
    C) Dirty working condition.
    D) Too much extra work.
    61. In which ways is home service industry good for our society?
    A) It meets the needs of modern life.
    B) It provides work opportunities for the laid-off worker.
    C) It is a new industry.
    D) A and B.

    大學(xué)生消費(fèi)是目前家長及教育界比較關(guān)注的問題,它所反應(yīng)的不僅僅是花錢這一表面現(xiàn)象,而是隱藏在這一現(xiàn)象之后的大學(xué)生的價值觀、金錢觀等思想層面的問題。
    【范文解析】
    Nowadays the campus students seem to have no idea of how money comes from, and not to care about their expenditure. They buy whatever they like for themselves, also for their friends, paying no attention to how much these things cost.
    Some people say that it is not a problem for college students to spend much. After all, the society is progressing and the life is being enriched. With the living standard being raised, it is reasonable to improve the expenditure of students. There is nothing to blame.
    For me, it is not just a habit of spending more money; it is a reflection of students' outlook on money and value. The students get money from their parents so easily that they have no idea of earning money with their hard work and effort, thus developing an awareness that they want to get things but are unwilling to work hard for their goal. Definitely, that is harmful. The campus students can improve their lives, but with the money earned by themselves.
    第一段講述了這一現(xiàn)象,大學(xué)生喜歡什么買什么,從不關(guān)注錢從何處來,也不關(guān)心自己的花銷。
    第二段提出了一些人的看法,他們認(rèn)為社會進(jìn)步了,生活水平提高了,大學(xué)生多花一點(diǎn)也無可厚非。
    第三段講述了作者自己的觀點(diǎn)看法。在作者看來,這并不僅僅是花錢習(xí)慣,更多地反映了學(xué)生的金錢觀、價值觀。學(xué)生從父母那里很容易就能要來錢,所以他們就不會想通過自己的努力來賺錢,漸漸就會培養(yǎng)這樣一種想法:希望不勞而獲。后作者強(qiáng)調(diào),學(xué)生提高自己的生活水平并沒有什么不對,但要用自己賺來的錢。
    【高分妙招】
    議論文經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在六級作文中,考生要注意合理表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn),表明自己對問題的看法。在論述中,不要僅僅停留在表面層次,而要深究其內(nèi)在原因,才能給考官留下深刻的印象。
    Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)
    原文精譯
    弗洛伊德關(guān)于“人類心理”的研究
    (1)大部分人晚上經(jīng)常做夢。早上醒來時,他們自言自語,“多奇怪的夢啊!我怎么會做這樣的夢”。有時候,夢很恐怖;有時候,在夢中愿望可以成真。還有時候,我們因奇怪的夢而困擾,在夢中世界似乎顛倒了,任何東西都沒有意義。
    (2)夢中我們所做的事情,在清醒時肯定不會做;我們所想所說的,清醒時從不敢想、不敢說。夢為什么這么奇怪和陌生?夢從何處來?
    (3)【1】沒有人的答案比Sigmund Freud給出的更讓人滿意。他認(rèn)為,夢源于人的心靈,人沒有辦法認(rèn)識或控制它。他把這個稱作“無意識心理”。
    (4)【2】Sigmund Freud出生在一百多年前,他一生中大部分的時間生活在奧地利的維也納,但二戰(zhàn)后不久,在倫敦終老。Freud探索了一個新的世界——人類內(nèi)心世界。無意識心理就像一口深井,充滿了記憶和情感。從我們出生的那一刻起就儲存在那里。我們的“有意識心理”把它們給遺忘了。直到不愉快、不平凡的經(jīng)歷使我們?nèi)セ貞洠蜃鰤舻臅r候,我們才意識到它們就在那里。突然之間,我們看到了童年時看到的東西,擁有了和童年時代一樣的感受。
    (5)要想探究人們某種行為的原因,F(xiàn)reud的發(fā)現(xiàn)非常重要。我們內(nèi)心深處無意識的力量,和我們知道的意識的力量,至少要一樣強(qiáng)大。有時候,我們不知道為什么就做了某事。而不知道的原因可能就深埋在無意識心理當(dāng)中。
    (6)Freud小時候,很關(guān)注他人經(jīng)歷的痛苦;因此長大后他成為醫(yī)生毫并不奇怪?!?】他了解了人體的運(yùn)行機(jī)制,但是,他越來越關(guān)注的是人類心理。他前赴巴黎留學(xué),師從法國醫(yī)生Charcot。那個時代似乎沒有人了解心理。如果一個人瘋了,或“發(fā)狂了”,基本上無法可治。人們不理解發(fā)生在他們身上的事情。他們是不是被惡魔或邪惡的靈魂附了體?是不是做錯了事,上帝在懲罰他們?這樣的人往往被與普通人隔離開來,仿佛他們犯了大罪。
    (7)很多地方直到今天仍然是這樣。醫(yī)生更喜歡研究他們能看到、能實(shí)驗(yàn)的人體部位?!?】打開一個人的頭顱,你可以看到他的腦子,但看不到他的想法、意見或夢境。
    (8)【4】在Freud那個時代,基本沒有醫(yī)生對這些話題感興趣。Freud想知道人的心理是如何活動的。他從Chorcot那里學(xué)成后,1886年回到維也納,成為一名神經(jīng)科醫(yī)生。他結(jié)了婚,在家里治療越來越多的病人。大部分病人是女士。她們過于激動或焦慮,心理方面而非身體上患有疾病,吃藥是不管用的。Freud很同情他們,卻愛莫能助。
    (9)【5】有一天,F(xiàn)reud的朋友Josef Breuer醫(yī)生來看他,并和他講到了自己照顧的一個小姑娘。每次當(dāng)他允許小姑娘討論自己的事情時,她看起來就會好一點(diǎn)。她告訴Josef Breuer醫(yī)生映入腦海的所有事情。每談,她就能記起更多小時候的事。聽到此,F(xiàn)reud很激動。他開始用同樣的方法治療自己的病人。他詢問病人孩提時代的事情,鼓勵病人講述自己的經(jīng)歷和人際關(guān)系。他自己說的很少。在他傾聽時,病人經(jīng)常會重現(xiàn)過去的生活瞬間。他們會因憤怒害怕,或愛恨情仇而顫抖。他們仿佛把Freud當(dāng)成自己的父親、母親或情人。Freud從不試圖阻止他們,他安靜地接受病人所講的一切,不管是好事還是壞事。來看病的有一位年輕女士,她盡管很渴卻無法喝水。是某些原因阻止了她喝水的能力。Freud發(fā)現(xiàn)了其中的原因。一天,他們交流時,這位女士記起,她看到一只狗從護(hù)士的杯子里喝水,她并沒告訴這個她不喜歡的護(hù)士。后來她完全忘記了這個經(jīng)歷。突然,兒時的記憶重回腦海。當(dāng)她把整個故事——護(hù)士、狗、那杯水——講給Freud 聽時, 這位女士又可以喝水了。
    (10)【6】Freud把這種治療方法叫做“談心療法”,后來稱作心理分析。當(dāng)病人暢所欲言讓他們困擾的事情時,他們通常會感覺好一些。
    (11)【10】有時候,病人講的故事會讓Freud大吃一驚。他發(fā)現(xiàn),小孩的感情和父母的感情沒有多少不一樣。一個小男孩可能很愛自己的母親,以至于想殺掉父親;同時他也愛自己的父親,并為自己的這個念頭感到羞愧。帶著如此復(fù)雜的感情生活是很困難的,所以這些情感都隱退到無意識的心理狀態(tài),只在困擾的夢境中才重現(xiàn)。很難相信,由于兒時的經(jīng)歷,人們可能會變瞎,或失去語言能力。
    (12)Freud因自己的發(fā)現(xiàn)而受到各方的攻擊,但也找到了真正的朋友。【8】很多人相信,至少他找到了打開人類心理的一把鑰匙,來幫助痛苦中的人們。他找到了很多人生難題的答案。他舉世聞名,給他人傳授“談心療法”?!?】無法估計(jì)他對現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)、文學(xué)和科學(xué)的影響也是無法估量的。作家、劇作家、畫家,在學(xué)校、醫(yī)院、監(jiān)獄工作的人們,都從這個偉人身上學(xué)到了一些東西,是他發(fā)現(xiàn)了進(jìn)入人們無意識心理的方法。現(xiàn)在,并不是所有Freud的觀點(diǎn)都被接受。但是,有些人跟隨他的方向,來幫助人們更好的了解自我?!?0】對于那些曾被叫做“瘋子”的人們來講,因?yàn)橛辛薋reud以及這些繼承者,如今便有了前所未有的希望。

    W: Of course. Just keep walking down for another 3 blocks and it'll be on your right between the post office and the courthouse.
    Q: Where is this dialogue occurring?
    答案C
    解析:選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于四個地點(diǎn)。男士問:Anne's Clothing Store在哪個地方?這是個服裝店的名字。女士回答:在你的右面,郵局和法院之間。從這些地名可以推斷,這個對話發(fā)生在市中心。
    12.

    答案D
    解析:選項(xiàng)是發(fā)生在女孩子身上的事情。女士使用了虛擬語氣:如果不是交通阻塞,十點(diǎn)前能到教室。男士也很遺憾,說教授一直在找她。從中可以判斷,交通不好,是女孩子遲到的原因。
    15.
    W: I hate the way the trains run in this city. I've been waiting here for almost a half hour.
    M: It's almost eight o'clock, so we should be on our way soon.
    Q: When did the woman begin waiting for the train?

    Q: Why was Jim fired?
    答案D
    解析:選項(xiàng)是某位男士近做的事。男士說:很遺憾Jim失業(yè)了。他女兒上個月病了,所以他經(jīng)常遲到。女士否定了這個原因,她說:本周的賬目中他犯了大錯,老板生氣了。所以Jim失業(yè)的原因,是他犯了個錯誤。
    Conversation One
    M: Dr. Thomas? This is Keet Bradley from the Daily News. 【19】I'd like to ask you some questions about the new official standard weight that you purchased.
    W: I'd be happy to help you. What would you like to know?
    M: First of all, how is the standard weight used?
    W: Well, 【20】the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country. We are a government agency, the department of weights and measures. It's our responsibility to see that all the scales measure a kilogram accurately so this is the way we use to adjust the scales.
    M: How did you check the scales before?
    W: We have an old standard weight that we used to use. 【21】It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous. It absorbed too much moisture.
    M: Oh. So when the weather was humid it weighed more and when it was dry it weighed less.
    W: Exactly. And that variation can affect the standards of the whole country. So our department had the new weight made out of higher quality metal.
    M: How much did it cost?
    W: About 45,000 dollars.
    M: 45,000 dollars? For one kilogram weight? That's more expensive than gold. 【22】Is it really worth that much?
    W: 【22】I'm sure it is. Industries depend on our government agency to monitor the accuracy of scales so that when they buy and sell their products there is one standard. Think of the drug industry, for example, those companies rely on high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine.
    Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    19. What is the conversation mainly about?
    19. 答案B
    解析:根據(jù)選項(xiàng),考生可推斷問題可能是對話主題。聽力對話一開始,男士開門見山,問及對方所買的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)砝碼(standard weight)。這是個稱重單位。
    20. How was the weight used?
    20. 答案A
    解析:選項(xiàng)用to do表示目的。男士接著問,這個標(biāo)準(zhǔn)砝碼怎么用?女士回答,可以用來檢查全國天平的準(zhǔn)確度。
    21. Why was it necessary to replace the old standard weight?
    21. 答案C
    解析:根據(jù)選項(xiàng),考生可推測問題可能是更換標(biāo)準(zhǔn)砝碼的原因。女士詳細(xì)解釋更換原因:老的砝碼太不精確了,因?yàn)橹谱髟牧鲜橇淤|(zhì)金屬。
    22. What does Dr. Thomas probably think about the cost of the new weight?
    22. 答案C
    解析:選項(xiàng)是對其價值的判斷。男士問:花這么多錢值得嗎?女士給予了肯定回答,然后舉例說明,各個行業(yè)需要控制天平精確度,比如醫(yī)藥行業(yè),需要非常精確的生產(chǎn)和包裝藥物。由此可以判斷,標(biāo)準(zhǔn)砝碼雖然貴,但具有重要功能,花錢買它還是合理的。
    Conversation Two
    W: Hello?
    M: Hi, May, this is Bill Johns.
    W: 【24】Oh hi, Bill. You weren't in engineering class today, were you?
    M: 【24】I have the flu. I was wondering if you could tell me what went on.
    W: 【23】Actually we had an interesting class. Dr. Collin talked about a new type of fuel.
    M: Oh, yeah?
    W: Uh-hum. It's called diethyl or DME.
    M: Oh, I remember reading something about DME. It's mostly used in spray cans, right?
    W: Right. DME doesn't destroy the ozone, so it's been environmentally friendly.
    M: But doesn't DME pollute the air if it's burned in an engine?
    W: Dr. Collin says something about its exhausts being clear, that it doesn't release as much pollutants as diesel fuel, and he mentioned something about DME being more efficient than other alternative fuels.
    M: When will it replace diesel fuel?
    W: Not for a while. It's not economical to mass produce.
    M: Well, thanks for the information. I guess I won't need to borrow your notes.
    W: 【25】Well, maybe you should look at them. We are having a test next week.
    M: Okay, could you give them to Mike Andrews? I think he is in your psychology class. He is my roommate.
    W: Sure. I hope you're feeling better soon.
    M: Thanks. Me too. Bye!
    W: Bye!
    Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    23. What is the conversation mainly about?
    23. 答案B
    解析:從選項(xiàng)可以推斷,本題問題可能是對話的主要內(nèi)容。對話一開始,女士就談到了主要話題,即一種名叫DME的新型燃料。選項(xiàng)A是個干擾項(xiàng),DME并不是柴油的一種。
    24.Why is the woman giving the man the information?
    24. 答案C
    解析:選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于男士的情況。聽力對話一開始,女士就問:你今天為什么沒有上課啊?男士回答說自己得了感冒。從此可以判斷,女士給男士提供信息的原因是,男士因病缺課了。
    25. Why does the woman suggest the man look at her notes?
    25. 答案C
    解析:選項(xiàng)表示目的。聽力對話后,女士建議男士看自己的筆記,因?yàn)橄轮軙锌荚?。所以C為正確答案。
    Section B
    Passage One
    【29】To be successful in a job interview, you should demonstrate certain personal and professional qualities. You need to create a good image in a limited time available, 【26】usually from 30 to 45 minutes. 【29】You must talk a positive impression which the interviewer will remember while he interviews other candidates.
    You should especially pay attention to some qualities during the interview.【27】First of all, you should take care to appear properly dressed. The right clothes worn at the right time can win the respect of the interviewer and his confidence in your judgment. It may not be true that clothes make the man, but the first and lasting impression of you is determined by the clothes you wear. Secondly, you should pay close attention to your manner of speaking. Since speech is a reflection of personality, 【28】you should reflect confidence by speaking in a clear voice, loud enough to be heard without being aggressive or over powering. You should be prepared to talk knowledgeably about the position you're applying for. Finally, to be really impressive, you must convey a sense of self-confidence and an enthusiasm for work. If you display these characteristics with just a little luck, you'll certainly succeed in a typical personnel interview.
    Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you've just heard.
    26.How long does an interview usually last according to the speaker?
    26. 答案B
    解析:選項(xiàng)關(guān)于時間,考生要特別關(guān)注聽力篇章中對時間的描述。聽力第一段提到,你需要在有限的時間內(nèi),一般是30到45分鐘之內(nèi),留下一個好印象。所以B為正確選項(xiàng)。
    27. How can one give an interviewer good first impression?
    27. 答案C
    解析:選項(xiàng)討論在面試中該如何做。聽力中談到面試過程中的具體做法,第一個需要注意的就是恰當(dāng)?shù)拇┲?。而A、B、D是干擾項(xiàng)。
    28. How can you reflect your personality in the speech?
    28. 答案D
    解析:選項(xiàng)討論在面試中該如何說話。聽力中提到,聲音要清晰,音量能讓人聽見即可,不要給人自以為是(aggressive)的感覺。所以選項(xiàng)D是正確答案。
    29. What is the main idea of the talk you've just heard?
    29. 答案D
    解析:選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于面試求職的總結(jié)概括。聽力從衣著、談吐、表現(xiàn)等方面討論在面試中該如何給面試官留下深刻印象,這是本篇聽力的主要內(nèi)容。所以選D。
    Passage Two
    I'm having problems living with Colin. We've barely spoken to each other in a month, and when we do, it's to fight. It started when we first moved in. I had a lot of things, and Colin wasn't thrilled. He's not easy to please, you know. I put all my stuff in the closet in the kitchen. This made him really upset because he wanted to put his surfing gear there. What's more, I like a neat, orderly apartment, but Colin is so carefree. His part of the apartment is always a mess. That's ok if he's just messy in his room, 【30】but we also share living space, such as the kitchen, living room, bath etc. I have tried talking to him about this, 【31】but then he starts yelling at me about how my friends are always coming over when he has a lot of work to do. I don't know what to do. 【30】The head resident promised to talk to Colin. I will see how it goes. 【32】If I still have a problem at the end of the week, I will ask for a room to change.
    Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
    30. Who is Colin?
    30. 答案B
    解析:選項(xiàng)是某人的身份。聽力篇章主要是說話者和Colin的生活瑣事,他們共享的空間等。聽力后講,房東會和Colin商量一下。由此可以肯定Colin是其舍友。
    31. Why does Colin get angry with the narrator?
    31.答案C
    解析:選項(xiàng)是對某個人的描述??忌⒁鈫栴}的he指代說話人還是Colin。問題是:Colin為什么對作者生氣?聽力篇章后說,當(dāng)作者把客人帶回家時,Colin就會生氣大叫。所以C為正確答案。
    32. What will the narrator probably do?
    32. 答案C
    解析:從選項(xiàng)可以推測,問題可能是作者要如何做。聽力篇章后講,如果到周末仍然有問題,就要求換房間。由此可以判斷,作者要先等到周末。
    Passage Three
    Centuries ago, during the Middle Ages, most of the land in Europe was owned by many different kings and queens, princes and princesses, and lords and ladies. They did not all get along. They were always fighting. They all wanted to get more land. 【33】To protect themselves, they started building huge homes out of stone. They called their homes castles.
    【35】A castle was built behind a strong stonewall. The wall was five or six feet thick and ten to twenty feet high. A deep ditch called a moat was dug around the outside of the wall. It was often filled with water, and the only way anyone could enter the castle was to cross a drawbridge. The drawbridge could be raised or lowered over the moat from inside the castle walls. There was also a tunnel that began in the castle and ended at the moat. This was important in case the castle was captured. It allowed the king and queen to escape. They could swim across the moat and hide in the forest.
    【35】Living in a castle was not very comfortable. The rooms were cold and damp. Every room could have a fire burning in a great fireplace, but until the twelfth century castles did not have chimneys. The smoke from their fireplaces had to go out through open doors, and windows.
    【34】Meals often had ten or twelve courses. The meat might be wild bears or birds that were boiled or roasted over an open fire. All the food was highly seasoned. People even put pepper in their drinks!
    【34】The people sat at a long table and ate with their fingers and a knife, all picking their food from the same big dish. They had no napkins. Therefore, they often wiped their hands on pieces of bread. When their fingers were clean, they threw the bread to their hunting dogs.
    Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
    33. Which of the following statements is NOT true about castles?
    33.答案A
    解析:選項(xiàng)是四個陳述句。聽力篇章第一段就講到建造城堡的原因。他們希望有更多的土地,為了保護(hù)自己,就建造了城堡。所以選項(xiàng)A中講到的原因和聽力原文不符。
    34. What can be inferred from the people's eating habit in a castle?
    34. 答案D
    解析:選項(xiàng)描述了他們的生活方式。聽力篇章后一部分講述了他們的飲食,一頓10到12個菜,在篝火上烤野味,加很多調(diào)味品。他們用手指和刀子吃飯,沒有餐巾紙,直接在面包上擦手。從中可以判斷,生活比較奢華卻并不太文明。
    35. What is the main topic of this passage?
    35. 答案C
    解析:根據(jù)選項(xiàng),考生可推測問題可能是文章的大意。聽力篇章一開始,作者講到建造城堡的原因,接下來詳細(xì)說明了城堡的結(jié)構(gòu),然后討論了城堡內(nèi)的生活。因而可以判斷文章的大意是城堡的結(jié)構(gòu)和里面的生活。
    Section C
    36. 答案fashionable
    解析:此空是個常用的形容詞,fashionable來自于名詞fashion,意為“流行的”。
    37. 答案complained
    解析:complain意為“抱怨”,根據(jù)后面賓語從句的時態(tài),考生要注意此處用動詞的過去式。
    38.答案obedience
    解析:此處需要名詞,obedience來自于動詞obey,意為“順從”。
    39.答案Actually

    原文精譯
    【52】表演界人數(shù)眾多,因此,給想登上舞臺的年輕人的忠告是:別走這條路!但對那些感覺自己必須表演的人,哪怕成名的機(jī)會很渺茫,勸說也是沒有用的。一般來講,踏上表演這條路的第一步是去戲劇學(xué)校。通常這些學(xué)校只接收有前途、有天賦的學(xué)生,課程一般持續(xù)兩年?!?3】年輕演員一般在輪演劇團(tuán)工作,職位一般為舞臺總監(jiān)助理。這意味著,他要做劇院里所有的工作:刷背景,照看家具,管理戲服,甚至出演小角色。這實(shí)際上是非常辛苦的,工作時間長,工資又低。【54】但是,天生愛表演的年輕演員卻非常高興,他們期待著能和更好的公司合作,或者拍電影,或者演電視劇。
    當(dāng)然,有些人運(yùn)氣超好,沒有經(jīng)過這個漫長枯燥的過程便成名了。比如Connie Pratt,她起初只是個在自行車廠工作的普通女孩。一天早晨她在公交站等車,一個電影制片人的豪華轎車恰巧路過,制片人看到了她,便讓司機(jī)停車,他前去和這個女孩交談,問她是否愿意到電影制片廠試鏡。剛開始,女孩以為他在開玩笑。隨后她生氣了,并說要報警。制片人花了20分鐘告訴Connie他是嚴(yán)肅的,然后約定讓她第二天到制片廠去。試鏡很成功。隨后她接受了一些必要的訓(xùn)練。幾周后,【55】她便擔(dān)當(dāng)了主角。和當(dāng)時的知名演員演對手戲。當(dāng)然,她也有了現(xiàn)在聞名世界的藝名?!?6】但這樣的機(jī)會千載難逢!
    52.答案D
    解析:本題是個細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)題干,考生可鎖定文章的第一段。段首講,表演界人數(shù)眾多,所以不鼓勵年輕人從事表演事業(yè)。從此判斷D為正確選項(xiàng)。
    53.答案A
    解析:本題是個細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)題干中的an assistant stage manager,考生可鎖定文章的第一段。原文中講,年輕演員一般在輪演劇團(tuán)工作,職位一般為舞臺總監(jiān)助理。這意味著,要做劇院里所有的工作。選項(xiàng)B是個干擾項(xiàng),這只是其中一個因素而已。

    56.答案B
    解析:本題是個同義轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)題干,考生可鎖定文章的第二段,段末出現(xiàn)了這個短語。第二段講述了一個非常罕見的例子,所以作者在這里強(qiáng)調(diào)這種機(jī)會并不常見。選項(xiàng)A意為“同時,突然”;選項(xiàng)C意為“偶爾,有時”;選項(xiàng)D意為“徹底地”。

    來自北京人民政治協(xié)商會議的消息稱,城市下崗工人抵制家政服務(wù)工作的觀念正在消失。會議建議加強(qiáng)市政中心的作用,由它們來監(jiān)督物業(yè)管理,負(fù)責(zé)家具維修和安裝以及家務(wù)服務(wù)?,F(xiàn)代城市生活催生了產(chǎn)業(yè)化的家政服務(wù)業(yè)。大會社會公平委員會的副會長認(rèn)為,【61】這將為那些失業(yè)工人創(chuàng)造工作機(jī)會。
    北京市民早就期望能有家政服務(wù)業(yè),這種需求有望帶動新一輪的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長?!?1】目前,消費(fèi)者一直抱怨北京缺乏高質(zhì)量的家政服務(wù)。
    過去,很少有下崗工人愿意做家政服務(wù)方面的工作,這樣的工作大部分由來自農(nóng)村的年輕婦女來做。同時,一些城市居民對農(nóng)村女孩不太放心,總感覺由她們來使用現(xiàn)代化的家庭電器或者照顧孩子不安全。很多人更愿意多付錢找一個對城市生活熟悉的、可靠的家政服務(wù)人員,【58】但是在這個有數(shù)以千計(jì)的下崗工人的城市,他們卻找不到一個想要的人。
    【58】本年六月底,市失業(yè)人口已達(dá)30600人,其中大部分是四十多歲的婦女。他們沒有特別的技能,卻有計(jì)劃經(jīng)濟(jì)培養(yǎng)出來的工作道德。【60】當(dāng)他們第意識到自己失業(yè)了,告別了已過了幾十年的生活方式的時候,他們感到很茫然。
    他們從來沒想到會從國有企業(yè)下崗,也從未考慮過其他的職業(yè)?!?9】對他們來講,私企意味著冒險;家政服務(wù)暗示較低的社會地位?,F(xiàn)年四十四歲的高云芳是第一個吃螃蟹的人,她早晨賣《北京早報》;下午在兩家做家務(wù),每月可以掙到1000元。這樣她不必再擔(dān)心正在上海上大學(xué)的女兒的學(xué)費(fèi)問題了。

    61.答案D
    解析:本題是個建立在細(xì)節(jié)上的主旨題。文章的第二段和第三段講到了家政業(yè)給中國經(jīng)濟(jì)帶來的好處,一是提供了很多就業(yè)機(jī)會;二是滿足了現(xiàn)代城市生活的需求。

    新的研究結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn),在寒冷的季節(jié),保持積極的心態(tài)是抵抗疾病的好方法。
    在一個實(shí)驗(yàn)里,身體健康的志愿者被置于感冒或流感病毒中。研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn),性情陽光的人得病的可能性較小。這些結(jié)果發(fā)表在《身心醫(yī)學(xué)》期刊上,并為以下觀點(diǎn)提供了新證據(jù):“積極向上的情感類型”可以幫助抵抗感冒和其他疾病。
    研究人員相信,這既有客觀方面的原因,因?yàn)榭鞓犯锌梢蕴岣呙庖吖δ?也有主觀方面的原因,因?yàn)榭鞓返娜撕苌偈芎韲瞪硢』蛄鞅翘榈睦_。匹茲堡卡耐基梅隆大學(xué)的Sheldon Cohen博士是這項(xiàng)研究的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人物,他解釋說,“擁有積極向上情感類型的人,對病毒的免疫反應(yīng)不一樣。感冒時,他們會認(rèn)為自己的病并沒有那么嚴(yán)重。”
    Cohen和同事在先前的一個研究中發(fā)現(xiàn),人越感覺快樂,得感冒的可能性就越小。但仍存在某些疑問,如情感特點(diǎn)本身是否起作用。
    新的研究中,研究人員共研究了193個身體健康的成年人,他們擁有健全的人格,健康和情感類型均自我感覺良好。那些總感覺快樂、精力充沛和隨和的人被認(rèn)為擁有積極向上的情感類型,而那些經(jīng)常不快、緊張、充滿惡意的人擁有消極的情感類型。研究人員給他們使用含有感冒病毒或特殊流感病毒的滴鼻液。隨后六天,志愿者上報他們出現(xiàn)的任何癥狀,如酸痛、打噴嚏、充血等,研究人員收集客觀數(shù)據(jù),如每天的粘液排量。通過對鼻子不適狀況的客觀檢測,Cohen和同事發(fā)現(xiàn),快樂的人得感冒的可能性相對較小。

    解析:能和后面的as連用的動詞有選項(xiàng)A、C、D。選項(xiàng)A中需要用think of ... as;選項(xiàng)D中translate ... as意為“把……翻譯為”。而選項(xiàng)C中的interpret意為“解釋說明”,符合題意。

    80.答案C
    解析:此空比較簡單,文章的第三段中曾經(jīng)出現(xiàn)過,這里指的是實(shí)驗(yàn)對象。
    81.答案A
