（二）Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:
In the Arctic Circle, it is not that Eskimos lack ability or industry, but the surroundings restrict constructive effort to the barest necessities of existence．This retards progress to higher develpment．
Agriculture is impossible all along the thousands of miles of the north shore．The only wood is such as drifts in．other than this driftwood, the only available building materials are snow, ice, stone, and bones of animals．All of these have been used for habitations and storage, places, differing in various tribes according to the requirements and skill of the workers．The lack of necessary timbers to build walls and span wide spaces is probably one reason why they construct their houses at least partly beneath the surface of the ground．This device also makers the houses more impervious(不能渗透的)to the cold．

Electronic books could change the way of reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well．“The e-book promises to cause a slow tragedy on life as we know it,” Jason Ohler, professor of technology, warned the world．He weighed the advantages and disadvantages of e-book technology's impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc．Before you read an e-book, consider the disadvantages．
He believed that the e-books increase harness of eye due to poor screen, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print-book production and traditional publishing．E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation of authors．
On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online．They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self publishing．
In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society's approval if a few conditions are met, make them recyclable, solve the problem of eye fatigue, be sure the “have-nots” get the technology, and support e-book training in schools and business．

Questions 21—25 are based on the following passage: The economy in the United States is heavily dependent on aluminum, a material widely used in the construction of buildings and in making such diverse things as cars, airplanes, and food containers.In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycled aluminum.Some ninety percent of the bauxite(矾土)ore from which new aluminum is normally derived had to be imported to meet the demand.Poorer ores are abundant in the United States, however, and researchers at Purdue University may recently have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically from these.Although aluminum is not attracted by ordinary magnets, under special conditions it becomes temporarily “paramagnetic”, or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field.This is achieved by immersing ore particles in water to which certain salts have been added and then
filtering the ore through steel wool in the presence of a strong magnetic field.It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import.21.The passage focuses on _____________.A.construction and manufacturing industry in the United States B.new technique of obtaining aluminum from poor ores C.consumption and production of aluminum in the United States D.the annual import of high-grade aluminum into the United States 22.It is believed that a new technique to _________ will probably be found.A.recycle old aluminum products B.discover more bauxite ores C.make aluminum by putting ore particles under water D.take out aluminum magnetically from poorer ores 23.In the second paragraph the word “paramagnetic” means ___________.A.slightly magnetic B.a weak magnetic field C.a strong magnetic substance D.the under-water magnetic power 24.By immersing ore particles in water, ____________.A.we can get ore particles of equal size B.we can purify aluminum particles C.we can filter out aluminum D.we can improve the working conditions around 25.We understand from the passage that the United States ____________.A.is rich in low-grade aluminum-beating ores B.is short of aluminum-making techniques C.has to import ninety percent of its annual need of aluminum D.has to produce fifty percent of the world’s supply to meet its annual aluminum demand Questions 26—30 are based on the following advertisements: Service Ad Professional Typing Service announces a new location in Westside Mall, 1400 University Avenue across from State University Student Union.We specialize in term papers, theses, and dissertations typed to the specifications of the Graduate School of State University.Twenty-four-hour service for fifty pages or less.Forty-eight-hour service for more than fifty pages.Rates: $1 per page on regular paper $1.25 per page on cotton bond paper $ 0.25 extra for each carbon copy or a graph Hours: 8:00 a.m.—10:00 p.m.Monday—Friday 8:00 a.m.—4:00 p.m.Saturday Closed all day Sunday Call: 717-5415 26.What kind of person needs this service?

2、答案C。instant意为“立刻的，即时的”；timely意为“及时的”；quick意为“（做事）迅速的”；punctual意为“守时的，准时的”。
3、答案C。at the sight of意为“看见”；view意为“眼界，视野”；vision是指人的视力或视野，引申为梦幻景象。

6、答案C。从时态意义上讲，应该用过去分词，表示伴随情况，还应该考虑连词前后的平衡结构表达法问题。
7、答案C。根据主语可判断出时间为过去时。
8、答案D。“get+-ed分词”构成被动语态，get通常表示动作的结果而非动作本身。
9、答案D。without作“如果没有”解，表示一种与事实相反的假设，意思上相对于一个if引导的虚拟条件句。根据题中可看出without computer 是与过去事实相反的假设，因此主句应该用：would（should，could，might）+动词的完成时。
10、答案C。so为程度副词，置于句首时，句子一般倒装。当so作为程度副词置于句首时，它所修饰的形容词或分词一般紧跟其后。
11、答案D。本题考点在文章第一句中的mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate。原文中的not„alone, but„相当于考题里的as well as, 所以考生对意思相似相近的表达要清楚。
12、答案A。本题的依据句是第二段中的第二个句子Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body.13、答案C。本题依据关键在第三段第二句中的derive all possible enjoyment from music，这与试题中的enjoy the music fully意思相当。
14、答案C。本题的依据是短文中的最后一句，关键部分是this participation is less obvious，这与选项C、not readily apparent意思相当。
15、答案C。短文先指出思维中可能有类似听音乐时肌肉参与的情形；接着描述了听音乐过程中肌肉参与的情况；最后指出，肌肉在思维活动中的参与只不过没那么明显罢了。可见，全文主要讨论的是肌肉在思维活动中的参与，既不是专门讲思维，更不是专门说音乐。故C选项做标题合适。
16、答案C。本文讲的是“暑期校区各项服务安排变更情况”，首句即主题句为During the summer session there will be a revised schedule of services for the university community.选项C符合题意。
17、答案B。本题属于细节题。要注意题干中的Specific schedule revisions，即“具体安排的修改”。第二段首句和第二句分别详细描述了公交车的发车时间、地点和食堂就餐时间，文中没有提到A.Athletic and recreational，C.Bookstore and post office和D.Medical and audio-visual.的具体情况。
18、答案D。本题的依据是文章第一段第三句话。关键部分是Weekly movie and concert schedules which are in the process of being arranged，即“每周电影和音乐会计划还在安排当中”，故D为合理选项。
19、答案A。根据题干中的special summer hours for the library可以缩小寻找答案的范围，只寻找与“图书馆”有关信息即可。答案依据在第二段的第三句，其中but shorter hours on Saturdays and Sundays是关键部分。but shorter hours 表示special，与平时不同； Saturdays and Sundays指的就是weekends。因此A为正确选项。
20、答案D。本题答案依据是短文倒数第二句。句中提到“借书和娱乐健身”需要有效证明卡。注意题干里的validated和原文中的valid意思相同，即“有效的”。
21、答案C。本题考查的是对短文主旨大意的理解。首段说的是美国对铝的需求及其来源，第二段讲述了一种新的提取铝的方法。故C、consumption and production of aluminum in the United States最符合题意，A、B、D虽然提到与短文有关的内容，但都不够全面。
22、答案D。本题的依据是第一段最后一句，关键部分是Poorer ores，have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically。
23、答案A。这是个词汇题。解这种题需要先找到该词所在的句子，答案往往从中可以读出。Paramagnetic在第二段首句，句子后半部分的or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field就是解释，故选A.slightly magnetic。
24、答案C。本题的依据是最后一句It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import.显然，把矿粒进入水中的做法目的只有一个，即提取铝。故选C。
25、答案A。这是一个细节题，答案依据是第一段第四句Poorer ores are abundant in the United States„
26、答案D。这是一则打印服务广告，其中针对学生论文描述了服务内容和价格，可见服务对象是学生。
27、答案C。根据广告上的价格计算：$1 per page on regular paper，$ 0.25 extra for each carbon copy or a graph，5页regular paper需要$5, 2个graphs需要$0.5, 共计$5.5。
28、答案C。根据广告上的承诺：Twenty-four-hour service for fifty pages or less.20页的材料应该在24小时内打印完成。
29、答案A。按照广告上的服务时间：8:00 a.m.—10:00 p.m.Monday—Friday，周三应该是晚上10点停止服务。
30、答案C。这是一则针对学生的校园服务广告，包括服务地点、时间、内容和价格。
31、答案A。仔细阅读上下文，就能看出“and 31 the passengers had fastened their seat belts, they were suddenly thrown forward.”两个句子是对比关系，意思为“尽管旅客系着安全带，但大家还是被抛向前面”。
32、答案D。A选项正确说法应该为“showed up”，B和C选项意思和用法不符合语境；只有D选项正确。Appear意为“出现”。
33、答案C。应该注意but一词的意义在于引起一个相反的概念。“She looked very pale, but was quite 33.”也就是说，所选择的单词应该是pale一词含义的反义词。所以用C选项最合适。全局意思为“尽管她脸色苍白，但她很镇静”。其他选项意思或用法有误。
34、答案C。A选项意思为“询问”；B选项意思为“保险”；C选项意思为“告诉”；D选项意为“指示”。只有C选项的意思和用法正确。
35、答案A。A选项意为“犹豫”，最符合本句话的场景。全句意思为“犹豫一会后，一个人站了起来跟服务员进了驾驶舱”。
36、答案A。close to属于固定搭配词组，意思为“接近”。其他选项的搭配不正确。
37、答案B。A选项意为“包围”；B项意为“绕圈子”；C和D选项的意思为“观察，看”。在这里可以判断，飞机是在机场上空绕了几个圈子。
38、答案B。A选项意思为“亲密的”；B项意为“熟悉”。本句话的含义是，飞机是在机场上空绕了几个圈子，目的是熟悉空管指示。
39、答案A。A选项的意思为“时刻”。全句意思是“可怕的一刻来临了，他要降落了”。其他选项的意思不正确。
40、答案A。注意本处的意思为“当„„时候”。A项as与C项while的意思都是“当„„时候”，但while指一个较长的时间过程，而as指事情发生的一刻。由于飞机触地touch the ground是一个短暂性动作，此处应选择as。
41、答案A。从Mother的回答看，她坚决不许Jimmy养猫。A No way 表示“绝对不行”，符合题意； B.Not at all意为“一点也不„„” C.By the way 表示转换话题； D.On the contrary意为“相反”，均不合适。
42、答案B。“一个半小时就行”的习惯表达用do，故选B。
43、答案A。对话中，母亲催促Tom快点起床。A Come on！表示催促，符合要求。
44、答案D。对话中乘客问车票多少钱。车票费用要用fare，而fee则表示“学费，入场费，手续费”等。
45、答案B。从下文的否定回答推测，问话人的话应该是Have you moved or something?即“你是搬家了还是怎么的？”
46、答案A。丈夫表示不愿意进商店买东西，而妻子极力劝他进去，因此我们选择A.Please, honey，表示请求。
47、答案C。Lucia跟Polly要纸巾，后来又说头疼，可能得流感了。Polly合理的反应是关切的询问，而不应该在没弄清情况时就说帮忙的话。故不选B，D。要纸巾显然是擦鼻子，A的提问是多余的。
48、答案C。递给别人所要的东西时说Here you are，意思是“给你”，其他表达不符合习惯。
49、答案D。母亲教育孩子喝汤不要弄出声响，从父亲的话听得出来，他嫌母亲的语气过于严厉了。所以不选A，B。C中的cruel使用不当。
50、答案C。出租司机问乘客“上哪儿？”英语的习惯表达是Where to，其他选项不正确。
