Part I Listening Comprehension
Section A
1. W: Huh, Dick. You are wearing a black jacket, but yellow trousers. It’s the strangest combination I’ve ever seen.
M: I know. I got up late and dressed in a hurry. I didn’t realize my mistake until I entered the office.
Q: What does the woman think of the way Dick dressed?
A) Dick’s trousers don’t match his jacket.
B) Dick looks funny in that yellow jacket.
C) The color of Dick’s jacket is too dark.
D) Dick has bad taste in clothes.
解析: 女士說Dick的穿著是她所見過的最奇怪的搭配,也就是褲子和上衣不匹配(match)。注意strangest為最高級,表示強調。
單詞:combination搭配,組合;funny滑稽,好笑的
短語:in a hurry匆忙;have bad taste in sth. 在某方面品位不高
句型:It’s + the + 形容詞最高級 + 名詞 + I’ve ever seen. 這是我所見過的最…的…。如:It’s the most exciting film I’ve ever seen. 這是我所見過的最令人興奮的電影。這類句型常為考點。
2. M: Excuse me, but has anyone turned in a brown leather wallet? I’ve lost my wallet. It contains my driver’s license and also some family pictures that are pretty important to me.
W: Oh, yes, we had a wallet brought in this morning. Wait here just a minute, please.
Q: What will the woman probably do?
A) Call the police station.
B) Get the wallet for the man.
C) Show the man her family pictures.
D) Ask to see the man’s driver’s license.
解析:女士回答有人上交過錢包,請等一會兒。從中可以推斷,女士最有可能是去拿錢包。注意對話是圍繞wallet, 題目和答案必定與之相關。
單詞:leather皮革;contain內有,包含;picture照片
短語:turn in 上交;driver’s license駕駛執(zhí)照;bring in上交;have sth. done(別人)做了某事
句型:Excuse me, but… 常在引起別人注意或請求幫忙時使用
3. M: Excuse me, Madam? Is the air-conditioning on? This room is getting as hot as a furnace.
W: Sorry, sir, a new epidemic called SARS is threatening us right now. As a preventative measure, we are told to let in fresh air by opening the windows and not using air-conditioners.
Q: What does the woman mean?
A) The temperature is not as high as the man claims.
B) The room will get cool if the man opens the windows.
C) She is following instructions not to use the air-conditioning.
D) She is afraid the new epidemic SARS will soon spread all over town.
解析:女士說作為預防非典的措施,他們被要求開窗通風,不要開空調。we are told to表示女士follow instructions。本對話的討論中心是開不開空調,其它答案離題。
單詞:air-conditioning / air-conditioner空調;epidemic流行病
短語:as hot as a furnace 象爐子一樣熱(比喻非常熱);preventative measure預防措施; follow instructions 聽從指令,指示;spread all over town 擴展到全城
句型:Is sth. on? 某物開著嗎?如:Is the lamp on? 燈開著嗎?
4. M: You look quite different from what you used to.
W: Sure, I started exercising regularly two years ago and went from 253 pounds to a healthy 160 pounds. And that’s the only thing I did not give up halfway.
Q: What do we know about the woman?
A) She lost a lot of weight in two years.
B) She stopped exercising two years ago.
C) She had a unique way of staying healthy.
D) She was never persistent in anything she did.
解析:本題要求考生具有相當的概括能力。女士兩年前開始減肥,從253磅降到了160磅。lost a lot of weight是概括性替換,這比一般替換要難。
單詞:regularly有規(guī)律地
短語:used to曾經;give up halfway半途而廢; lose weight體重下降;減肥;a unique way獨特方法;stay healthy保持健康
5. M: I wonder if you find my experience relevant to the job.
W: Yes, certainly, but if only you had sent in your application letter a week earlier.
Q: What does the woman imply?
A) The man is not suitable for the position.
B) The job has been given to someone else.
C) She had received only one application letter.
D) The application arrived a week earlier than expected.
解析:解題的關鍵是對but if only you had虛擬語氣的理解。女士說:是的,當然(你的經歷和這個工作是相關的),但是你要是早一個星期遞交你的申請信就好了。言下之意是別人已經first come, first served先來先得,得到這份工作了。另外,本對話是圍繞job展開的。
單詞:position職位
短語:relevant to與…有關;send in遞交,遞送;application letter申請信;suitable for適合
句型:I wonder if… 我想知道是否… ;if only you had done sth.你要是做了某事就好了
6. W: Shouldn’t someone go pick up a clothes from the laundry? They were ready three hours ago.
M: Don’t look at me, Mom.
Q: What does the boy mean?
A) He’s unwilling to fetch the laundry.
B) He has already picked up the laundry.
C) He will go before the laundry closed.
D) He thinks his mother should get the clothes back.
解析:本對話的話題是取衣服。男孩回答Don’t look at me, 言外之意是不愿意去取衣服。答案應該是否定的回答。pick up = fetch
單詞:laundry洗衣店, 要洗的衣服;ready完畢,好了;fetch取來
短語:pick up取
句型:Shouldn’t someone do sth? 某人難道不應該做某事嗎?(實際上的意思是希望某人做某事);Don’t look at me. 間接回答,表示否定,不愿意干某事。
7. M: Uh, hi, could you tell me where electronic products are displayed? I want to see some TVs, digital video cameras, DVD players. That sort of thing!
W: Well, several countries are displaying electronic products. China’s selection is very large this year. You might as well go to the east wing first to take a look at the Chinese booth.
Q: Where is the conversation most probably taking place?
A) At a shopping center.
B) At an electronics company.
C) At an international trade fair.
D) At a DVD counter in a music store.
解析:根據重復出現的關鍵詞display, 還有booth,several countries可以判斷對話是發(fā)生在an international trade fair. 最容易誤選A,因為對話中很多展覽的商品的名稱在干擾考生,使你想當然地認為是在購物中心。本題著重考查從紛繁的細節(jié)中抓住對話中心的能力。
單詞:display陳列,展覽;player播放器;wing側廳,側樓;booth攤位,展位;counter 柜臺
短語:electronic products電子產品;digital video cameras數碼攝像機;take a look at看一看;shopping center購物中心;trade fair貿易展覽,交易會
句型:You might as well do sth. 你不妨做某事(表示建議)
8. M: Well, what did you think of the movie?
W: I don’t know why I let you talk me into going. I just don’t like violence. Next time you’d better choose a comedy.
Q: What can we infer from the conversation?
A) The woman hated the man talking throughout the movie.
B) The woman saw a comedy instead of a horror movie.
C) The woman prefers light movies before sleep.
D) The woman regrets going to the movie.
解析:男士問女士對電影的看法,所以回答也肯定是圍繞著電影。根據對話相關性,只有D表達了對這部電影的看法,其它選項都偏題了。另外,從女士用的句型I don’t know why / I just don’t like可以看出,女士不喜歡看這部電影,后悔被男士說服去看了。
單詞:comedy喜劇
短語:talk sb. into doing sth.說服某人干某事;horror movie恐怖電影;light movie輕松的電影;regret doing 后悔干某事;go to the movie去看電影
句型:What did you think of sth. ? 你對某物(事)的看法如何?
9. W: Who do you think should get the job? How about Mr. Beckett?
M: Mr. Beckett? I am not sure. He is a nice fellow, of course, and easy to get along with. But I doubt his professional expertise. I want someone who can get the job done.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation about Mr. Beckett?
A) He is the right man to get the job done.
B) He is a man with professional expertise.
C) He is not easy to get along with.
D) He is not likely to get the job.
解析:和第5題相似,本題對話也是圍繞job展開的。男士給了否定的回答(優(yōu)先選擇否定的答案),這可以從Mr. Beckett?(升調,表示懷疑)以及But后面的內容判斷出。也就是說Beckett不太可能得到這個工作,選D。
單詞:fellow家伙,伙伴
短語:get along with sb.與某人友好相處;professional expertise專業(yè)技能,專業(yè)知識;get the job done做完這個工作;right man合適的人
句型:How about sb. ? 某人怎么樣(是不是適合干某事)?I doubt sth. 我懷疑某事。
10. M: Do you think home video players will replace movie theatres and force them out of the entertainment business?
W: They’re certainly faced with the grave challenge from the DVD industry. That’s why I think we have to revolutionize our concept of movie showing. As I see it, the movie theatre should not just be a place to watch a film but a place to meet people.
Q: What does the woman think of the movie theatre?
A) It is being forced out of the entertainment industry.
B) It should change its concept of operation.
C) It should revolutionize its technology.
D) It is a very good place to relax.
解析:女士只是說應該改革電影運作的理念,并沒有說改革技術,所以C錯。B才是對話中I think we have to … 一句的同義表達。
單詞:revolutionize使革命,使徹底變革;operation運作,運營
短語:movie theatre電影院;entertainment business娛樂行業(yè);be faced with面對;grave challenge嚴峻挑戰(zhàn)
Section B
Passage 1
(11)Few people can stand for(代表,象征)the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived through almost the whole of the 18th century. He was born six years after the century began and died ten years before it ended. During this time, he saw the American colonies(殖民地)grow from tiny settlements(定居點) into a nation and he also contributed much to the new state. He was deeply interested in science and natural history. And his experiments with the electricity and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving the conditions of his fellowmen. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society and a fire prevention service. He worked hard to enable the American colonies to gain independence from (從…獲得獨立) Britain.(12)As an ambassador(大使)to France, he encouraged the French to help George Washington. After the war, he attended the American Constitutional Congress. This was his last contribution, for he died later that year.(13)He’s still fondly(親愛地, 深情地)remembered by Americans as one of the creators(創(chuàng)立者)of the United States.
11. What did the speaker say about Benjamin Franklin?
12. How did Franklin help George Washington?
13. According to the passage, what is Franklin still well remembered as?
Passage 2
Yuppies are young people who earn a lot of money and live in a style that is too expensive for most people. (14)If you are invited to a Yuppie(雅皮士)dinner party, don’t be surprised if you are offered freshly cooked insects as a first course. While the idea of eating fried insects fills most of us with horror, insect eating is becoming highly fashionable. For example, in the media industry, successful executives(經理) are often seen to eat fried or boiled insects from time to time while working at their desks.(15)These safe-to-eat insects can be found and ordered(訂購)on the Internet. And young people are logging on to(登陸到)exotic(奇異的,外來的)food websites and ordering samples of prepared insects to serve at their dinner parties. Although the idea of eating insects is probably disgusting(惡心的)to most of us, few people would claim that pigs, chickens and some kinds of sea food we often eat are examples of great beauty. One day, insects could be marketed and sold as a food item in supermarkets.(16)According to their fans, they are not only high in protein(蛋白質)and low in fat, but also very tasty.(17)But until our attitudes to food change fundamentally(根本地), it seems that insect eaters will remain a select(精選的)few.
14. Why did the speaker say we might be surprised at the Yuppie dinner party?
15. Where can people order the unusual food mentioned by the speaker?
16. Why are some Yuppies attracted by the unusual food?
17. What does the speaker say about the future of this type of unusual food?
Passage 3
Many people dislike walking to the bank, standing in long lines and running out of checks.(18)They are dissatisfied with their bank’s limited hours(辦公時間), too. They want to do some banking at night and on weekends. For such people, their problems may soon be over. Before long, they may be able to do their banking from the comfort of their own home any hour of the day, any day of the week. Many banks are preparing online branches(分行)or Internet offices, which means that people will be able to take care of(處理)much of their banking business through their home computers. This process is called interactive banking. At these online branches, customers will be able to view all their accounts(帳戶), move money between their accounts, apply for a loan(貸款)and get current information on products such as credit cards(信用卡). Customers will also be able to pay their bills(付帳單)electronically and even email questions to the bank. Banks are creating online services for several reasons.(20)One reason is that banks must compete for(為…而競爭)customers, who will switch to another bank if they are dissatisfied with the service they receive. (19)The convenience of online banking appeals to(吸引)the kind of customer banks most want to keep, that is, people who are young, well-educated and have good incomes. Banks also want to take advantage of modern technology since they have moved into the 21st century.
18. What is one of the reasons for people’s dissatisfaction with traditional banks?
19. What kind of customer does online banking most appeal to?
20. Why do banks create online services according to the passage?
Part II Reading Comprehension
Passage One
(21) It was the worst tragedy in maritime (航海) history, six times more deadly than the Titanic.(第一句是一判斷句,此類句子通常為作者的觀點句。It實際上是指the sinking of Wilhelm Gustloff, six times more deadly than the Titanic是作者作此判斷的直接原因或理由,考生不妨在這里將比較級劃出,因比較處常為考點。這一句只是概括性的,后文還應該對此進行詳細闡述,點明it。)When the German cruise ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes (魚雷) fired from a Russian submarine in the final winter of Word War II, more than 10,000 people — mostly women, children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Nazi Germany —were packed aboard.(該句大意為:這艘被魚雷擊中的船當時船上有超過一萬人。句子主干是more than 10,000 people were packed aboard;when引導時間狀語從句,其中的fired from…為過去分詞后置定語,修飾torpedoes;破折號之間的內容對10,000 people作進一步解釋說明, fleeing … Nazi Germany為現在分詞短語,修飾women, children and old people。)(22) An ice storm had turned the decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea as the ship tilted and began to go down.(一場冰暴使那艘船的甲板結了一層冰,當船身傾斜、開始下沉時,擠在甲板上的數百個家庭滑入大海。that sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea是定語從句,修飾frozen sheets;as直接點出船下沉的時間。)Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down.(注意這里others是指那些沒有滑入大海的人)Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to claw their way aboard. Most people froze immediately.(句子主干是Some fought off those。文章至此都是敘述細節(jié),說明當時海難的情況。)“I’ll never forget the screams,” says Christa Nutzmann ,87, one of the 1,200 survivors. She recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its dark grave — and into seeming nothingness, rarely mentioned for more than half a century.(最后通過一個幸存者的回憶,指明這個事件超過半個世紀不被人所提及。注意:這里點出了文章的主題,前面都是鋪墊。預測后文可能會探討其原因,或分析人們對這場災難的態(tài)度。從寫作手法上看,brightly lit和dark grave形成強烈對比,凸現這場海難的悲劇性。)
21.Why does the author say the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was the worst tragedy in maritime history?
[定位與替換]本題是問為什么作者說Wilhelm Gustloff的沉沒是航海史上最嚴重的悲?根據題干關鍵詞the worst tragedy,可直接定位到原文第一句。這里作者把Gustloff和Titanic在死亡人數上作了比較,deadly一詞表明Gustloff的死亡人數是Titanic的六倍,作者是從死亡人數多這個角度來說明Gustloff的沉沒是航海史上最嚴重的悲劇的。所以應該選D) It caused the largest number of casualties.它造成了最大的人員傷亡。six times more = the largest number, deadly = casualties。注意原文中的比較級在答案中要么還是比較級,要么轉變成最高級。
[干擾項分析]A) It was attacked by Russian torpedoes.它被俄國魚雷攻擊,B) Most of its passengers were frozen to death.大部分乘客都被凍死,A和B也是文章中提到的細節(jié),但與本題無關, 偏離考點。C) Its victims were mostly women and children.遇難者大部分是婦女和兒童,盡管文章提到遇難者大部分是婦女、兒童和老年人,但僅憑遇難者主要是婦女和兒童并不能得出這是最嚴重的海難和悲劇。因為其它海難的主要遇難者也可能大部分是婦女、兒童,其比例還可能更高;另外,原文中說的是“大部分是婦女、兒童和老年人”,選項C中未提到老年人,也不全面。有同學說,從網上查到資料歷史上最慘的海難事件是GOYA而不是Wilhelm Gustloff。在此提請注意:命題者不是在考查考生的背景知識,而是考查考生對文章本身的理解。答題時一定要從原文出發(fā),一定要基于文中作者的觀點及列舉的事實。
22. Hundreds of families dropped into the sea when .
[定位與替換]本題是問數百個家庭是什么時候掉入海里的?題干與sent hundreds of families sliding into the sea對應。句中的as對應題干中的when。由此我們得知,數百個家庭滑入大海的直接原因是船傾斜了,所以本題應選C) the badly damaged ship leaned toward one side 這艘損害巨大的船向一側傾斜。至于the badly damaged ship的出處,文中第二行說的很清楚:hit by torpedoes(被魚雷擊中)。leaned toward one side = tilted。
[干擾項分析] A) a strong ice storm tilted the ship 一場強烈冰暴使那艘船傾斜,強烈干擾項,文章并未提到是冰暴使船傾斜(只提到使甲板上結了一層冰);B) the cruise ship sank all of a sudden 這艘巡洋艦突然間沉沒,錯在all of a sudden,也是曲解原文,若去掉all of a sudden就可以;D) the frightened passengers fought desperately for lifeboats受驚的乘客絕望地爭奪救生艇,注意搶奪救生艇是在數百個家庭掉入海里之后發(fā)生的,對于本題而言,選項D顯然是答非所問。解題的關鍵是把握并正確理解文章紛繁的細節(jié)。
(24) Now Germany’s Nobel Prize-winning author Gunter Grass has revived the memory of the 9,000 dead, including more than 4,000 children — with his latest novel Ctab Walk, published last month.(注意本句revived the memory of the 9,000 dead很好地承接了上文,Gunter Grass利用自己的小說又喚醒了人們的記憶。)The book, which will be out in English next year, doesn’t dwell on the sinking; its heroine is a pregnant young woman who survives the catastrophe only to say later: “Nobody wanted to hear about it, not here in the West (of Germany) and not at all in the East.” (介紹了本書并不詳細闡述沉船本身,書里的女主人公是一名在海難里生還的孕婦,她只能在生還后感嘆:在西德沒有人要聽這個,更不用說在東德。) (23) The reason was obvious. As Grass put it in a recent interview with the weekly Die Woche: “Because the crimes we Germans are responsible for were and are so dominant, we didn’t have the energy left to tell to our own sufferings.” (The reason指的是德國人為什么不愿意提及Gustloff悲劇的原因。As Grass put it in a recent interview… 這里it是指the reason …因為我們德國人需要為之負責的罪行在過去和現在都是如此的顯著,沒有多余的精力來談論我們自己的痛苦。這里是因果關系考點,并和文章主題相關,考生應做標記。)
23.The Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy was little talked about for more than half a century because Germans
[定位與替換]本題是問Wilhelm Gustloff悲劇為什么在超過半個世紀的時間里很少被人提及?定位到第二段的原因考點。德國人所犯的罪行太dominant了,他們被負罪感壓得抬不起頭來,所以應該選B) felt guilty for their crimes in World War II 對在二戰(zhàn)中所犯的罪行感到有負罪感。文章沒有提到誰給德國人壓力。
[干擾項分析] A) were eager to win international acceptance 急于獲得國際承認,D) were afraid of offending their neighbors 害怕冒犯鄰國,盡管A、D相關內容在第三段第二句中被提到過,但并不是很少被人提及的原因。獲得國際承認、與鄰國和平相處是德國毫無保留地坦承自己在二戰(zhàn)犯下罪行而得到的結果,因而這兩個選項顛倒了因果關系;C) had been pressured to keep silent about it受到壓力被迫保持沉默,文章沒有提到誰給德國壓力,為無中生有。
24.How does Günter Grass revive the memory of the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy?
[定位與替換] 本題是問Günter Grass如何喚醒了人們對Wilhelm Gustloff悲劇的記憶?根據關鍵詞可定位到第二段。Grass是通過他的小說來喚醒人們塵封的記憶的,女主人公是一位這場災難中幸存下來的懷孕的年輕婦女。顯然,小說是圍繞著這位婦女的經歷展開的,所以應選D) By depicting the survival of a young pregnant Woman通過描述一個年輕的懷孕的婦女的幸存。 第23、24題雖然是細節(jié)題,但都直接和本文主題相關,所以準確判斷文章主題非常重要。
[干擾項分析] A) By presenting the horrible scene of the torpedo attack 通過表現魚雷攻擊的可怕場面,文中無細節(jié)支持;B) By describing the ship’s sinking in great detail 通過非常詳細地描寫這艘船的沉沒,文中提到小說并沒有詳細描寫沉船;C) By giving an interview to the weekly Die Woche通過接受Die Woche周刊的采訪,盡管文章中有這個細節(jié),卻偏離了考點。
The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable — and necessary. (注意文中破折號的使用,表示強調。〣y unreservedly owning up to their country’s monstrous crimes in the Second World War, Germans have managed to win acceptance abroad, marginalize(使…不得勢)the neo-Nazis at home and make peace with their neighbors. Today’s unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long, troubled history. For that, a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay.(For that中的that指的是德國今天的繁榮和穩(wěn)定。本句的內涵是,德國今天的繁榮在一定程度上就是因為德國人對當年自己如此慘重的沉船事故保持沉默。)But even the most politically correct Germans believe that they’ve now earned the right to discuss the full historical record. Not to equate German suffering with that of its victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.(對Wilhelm Gustloff的沉沒的長期沉默也許是不可避免的,而且是必須的。正是因為毫無保留地坦承自己在二戰(zhàn)犯下的殘暴罪行,德國才成功地贏得了外界的接受、抑制了國內新納粹的抬頭并且與鄰國和平共處。當今統一的德國之富裕和穩(wěn)定,超過她漫長和不平靜的歷史上的任何一個時期。為了這一點,德國半個世紀的有意識地忘卻那慘痛的記憶也許是一個值得付出的代價。但是,即使是政治上最開明的德國人現在也認為,他們已經有這個權利來討論這個歷史事件。(目的)不是為了把德國人的痛苦與那些二戰(zhàn)受害者的痛苦相提并論,而僅僅是去承認一個可怕災難的客觀存在。本段中,作者探討了德國人過去保持沉默的原因,以及德國人認為他們現在有權利討論這件事情了。注意最后一句not to … but simply to 表示強調,為語意重點。)
25.It can learned from the passage that Germans no longer think that .
[定位與替換]本題要求根據文章來推斷,德國人不再認為什么?因最后一段主要探討了德國人的觀點,故本題定位到最后一段。綜合整段意思可以得出,現在德國人不再認為他們討論這場災難會被人們誤解,他們相信外界將不會認為自己是在為昔日的罪行作辯護,而只是在對一段歷史往事進行探討。所以應該選 A) they will be misunderstood if they talk about the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy 如果他們討論Wilhelm Gustloff悲劇會被誤解。解題需要整合最后一段的內容,從中提煉出德國人現在的觀點。
[干擾項分析]B) the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nation’s past misdeeds, Wilhelm Gustloff災難是一個為這個國家過去的罪行值得付出的代價。根據最后一段,德國人認為半個世紀對這場災難的忘卻是一個值得付出的代價,并不是認為這場災難本身是一個值得付出的代價。注意:命題者在這里設置了一個“偷換概念”的陷阱;C) Germany is responsible for the horrible crimes it committed in World War II 德國對它在二戰(zhàn)期間所犯的恐怖罪行負有責任, 與最后一段內容不符;D) it is wrong to equate their sufferings with those of other countries 把他們的苦難與其它國家的苦難等同是錯誤的,與末句不符。

Passage Two
Given the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools, it is not surprising that such students often have little good to say about their school experiences.(考慮到天才學生與學校之間不和諧的關系,這些學生對他們的學校經歷沒有什么好話說就不奇怪了。第一句揭示主題,探討了天才學生的成長與學校教育的關系。這里the lack of fit講得比較抽象,下文會詳細闡述。it is not surprising that…為作者觀點句,是作者的argument。語篇關鍵詞:gifted students / school)In one study of 400 adults who had achieved distinction in all areas of life, researchers found that three-fifths of these individuals either did badly in school or were unhappy in school. Few MacArthunr Prize fellows, winners of the MacArthur Award for creative accomplishment, had good things to say about their precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advanced programs. Anecdotal(名人軼事的) reports support this. Pablo Picasso, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Oliver Goldsmith, and William Butler Yeats all disliked school. So did Winston Churchill, who almost failed out of Harrow, an elite British school. (27) About Oliver Goldsmith, one of his teachers remarked, “Never was so dull a boy.” Often these children realize that they know more than their teachers, and their teachers often feel that these children are arrogant, inattentive, or unmotivated.(作者接著舉出研究人員的調查來證明自己的觀點。先提出觀點,再用例子證明,這是常見的寫作手法。)
27.The author quotes the remarks of one of Oliver Goldsmith’s teachers _________.
[定位與替換]本題是問作者引用Goldsmith的老師的評論的目的是什么?根據關鍵詞Oliver Goldsmith’s teachers定位到第一段,作者引用了一些名人軼事證明很多有成就的人都對他們的學校經歷評價不高,也就是證明作者自己的觀點,故選A) to provide support for his argument對其觀點提供支持。解題的關鍵在于認清例證在段落中的作用是為了證明作者的觀點,平時要加強語篇分析。
[干擾項分析] B) to illustrate the strong will of some gifted children闡明一些天才兒童的堅強的意志,第一段無內容支持strong will,第二段中有strong-willed一詞,屬于詞匯干擾;C) to explain how dull students can also be successful解釋愚笨的學生如何也能獲得成功, Goldsmith的老師說過從來沒見過這么dull的孩子,但這并非作者的觀點;D) to show how poor Oliver’s performance was at school 顯示Oliver在學校的表現有多么糟糕,此選項和C的錯誤類型相同。
(28) Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school because their gifts were not scholastic. (作者在第一句就提出了論點,these gifted people指第一段舉的許多名人,承接上文。) Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way. (30)But most fared poorly in school not because they lacked ability but because they found school unchallenging and consequently lost interest.(注意:not because … but because 結構中,作者語意重點在but because之后。)Yeats described the lack of fit between his mind and school: “Because I had found it difficult to attend to anything less interesting than my own thoughts, I was difficult to teach.” As noted earlier, gifted children of all kinds tend to be strong-willed nonconformists. Nonconformity and stubbornness (and Yeats’s level of arrogance and self-absorption) are likely to lead to conflicts with teachers.(本段主要闡述天才學生和學校格格不入的原因,并舉例說明。)
26.The main point the author is making about schools is that________.
[定位與替換]本題是問作者關于學校所持的主要觀點是什么?一般此類問題的答案都會含有本文的關鍵詞,即主要討論對象。根據前面的語篇分析,考慮選擇B和D,因為其中都有關鍵詞talented / gifted students。 B項的talented students是文中gifted students的替換詞,應優(yōu)先選擇。作者在文中表達的觀點是,天才學生經常覺得他們比老師知道的多,學校里的功課沒有挑戰(zhàn)性,他們都不循規(guī)蹈矩,很容易和老師發(fā)生沖突。換而言之,作者認為學校經常不能滿足天才學生的需要。所以,最終選B) they are often incapable of catering to the needs of talented students學校經常不能滿足天才學生的需要。本題要求考生跨段落整合內容,把握文章的中心思想。
[干擾項分析] A) they should satisfy the needs of students from different family backgrounds它們應該滿足來自不同家庭背景的學生的需求,文章只是在第三段提到很多天才學生從家庭教育中獲益很多, 本選項曲解了文章信息;C) they should organize their classes according to the students’ ability它們應該根據學生的能力來組織教學,和D) they should enroll as many gifted students as possible它們應該盡可能多地招收天才學生,文中均無信息支持。
28.Pablo Picasso is listed among the many gifted children who_________.
[定位與替換]本題是問畢加索屬于哪一類天才兒童?根據關鍵詞Picasso,可以定位到原文第一段中的Picasso … disliked school.和第二段第二句Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way. 也許我們可以這樣來解釋畢加索。in this way指代第一句中because后的內容,指出畢加索屬于第一句中所說在學校里表現不好、天賦不是學術方面的那一類天才。正確選項要從scholastic (of or relating to schools; academic) 這個詞著手,必須有學校、學術一類的詞匯,與之相關的選項只有C) could not cope with there studies at school successfully 不能成功地應付學校的學習。解題的關鍵在于正確識別指代,平時應注意培養(yǎng)對相關詞匯的敏感性。
[干擾項分析] A) paid no attention to their teachers in class在課堂上不注意他們的老師,文中無信息支持;B) contradicted their teachers much too often太經常地反駁他們的老師,文中也無信息支持;D) behaved arrogantly and stubbornly in the presence of their teachers在老師面前表現自大和頑固,是用文中詞匯stubbornness和 arrogant來進行干擾。
30.The root cause of many gifted students having bad memories of their school years is that ________.
[替換與定位]本題是問許多天才學生對學校沒有什么好的記憶的根本原因是什么?結合語篇分析和前面幾道題,可以知道矛盾的焦點不在于老師,而在于學校。學校不能滿足天才學生的需求,不能給他們以靈感,不能激勵他們,所以選C) school courses failed to inspire or motivate them學校未能給他們靈感或者激勵他們。 另外,第二段也提到but because they found school unchallenging and consequently lost interest. 學生在學校表現不好的原因是他們覺得學校沒有挑戰(zhàn)性,因此失去了興趣(也就是說對學校沒有什么好印象),unchallenging = fail to inspire or motivate。
[干擾項分析] A) their nonconformity brought them a lot of trouble他們不墨守成規(guī)給他們帶來不少麻煩;B) they were seldom praised by their teachers他們很少被老師贊揚;D) teachers were usually far stricter than their parents老師通常比他們的父母嚴格得多;三個干擾項都偏離了文章主題,并且都太具體了。解答這類與文章主題相關的題目時,要注意尋找具有概括性的、包含主題的選項。
(29)When highly gifted students in any domain talk about what was important to the development of their abilities, they are far more likely to mention their families than their schools or teachers. (far more likely既是強調,又是比較級,為重要考點。這一句為本段主題句,闡述天才學生自己認為的成功的原因,其后舉例說明,是潛在的因果關系考點。)A writing prodigy(神童) studied by David Feldman and Lynn Goldsmith was taught far more about writing by his journalist father than his English teacher. High-IQ children in Australia studied by Miraca Gross had much more positive feelings about their families than their schools. About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloom had little good to say about school. They all did well in school and took honors classes when available, and some skipped grades.
29.Many gifted people attributed their success _________.
[定位與替換]本題是問許多天才把他們的成功歸因于什么?實際上考查了第三段的主題句。該句的意思是:在談到什么因素對他們能力的發(fā)展比較重要的時候,他們最多提及的是他們的家庭,而不是學校和老師。因此,正確選項必須包含家庭這個重要概念。經觀察比較,只有A) mainly to parental help and their education at home (主要來自家庭的父母的幫助和教育)中的at home是family這個概念的同義表達,而且選項中mainly也符合原文中far more likely的語氣。
[干擾項分析] B) both to school instruction and to their parents’ coaching 既歸因于學校教學又歸因于父母的教導,與第一句信息不符;C) more to their parents’ encouragement than to school training 更多地歸因于父母的鼓勵,而不是學校的訓練,文中無內容支持encouragement;D) less to their systematic education than to their talent 比較少地歸因于系統的教育,更多地歸因于他們的天賦,文中無信息支持。

Passage Three
① When we worry about who might be spying on our private lives, we usually think about the Federal agents. (31) But the private sector outdoes the government every time. It’s Linda Tripp, not the FBI, who is facing charges under Maryland’s laws against secret telephone taping. It’s our banks, not the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), that pass our private financial data to telemarketing firms.(we usually think about引出大眾觀點,But語意轉折,引出作者觀點,顯然與大眾觀點不一樣,這是一個重要的對比考點。the Federal agents與the government為相關詞匯。兩個It’s引導的句子舉例說明作者觀點。banks是對private sector的具體闡述。)
31.Contrary to popular belief, the author finds that spying on people’s privacy .
[替換與定位]本題問與一般人想法不同作者觀點。根據題干關鍵詞spying on people’s privacy定位到原文第一段第一句,popular belief = we usually think。第一、二句的大意為:當我們擔心誰會刺探人們的隱私時,通常會認為是聯邦密探。但每一次都是私營部門勝過了政府。接著,作者舉例說某個公司正在面對電話竊聽的控告,銀行把顧客的私人的金融信息透露給電話營銷公司。我們可以推斷,刺探私人隱私的不是政府,而是主要集中在商業(yè)領域,所以選D) is more prevalent in business circles在商業(yè)界更加流行。Business circle 是對原文中banks / telemarketing firms等的概括性替換。
[干擾項分析] A) is mainly carried out by means of secret taping主要通過秘密竊聽的手段來實現,mainly太絕對,對原文或者選項中出現的修飾性副詞或形容詞要高度關注,必須看原文中是否體現;B) has been intensified with the help of the IRS在IRS的幫助下得到了加強,以及C) is practiced exclusively by the FBI只由FBI實行,這兩個選項都與作者觀點相反,FBI / IRS屬于政府部門。
② Consumer activists are pressing Congress for better privacy laws without much result so far. (32) The legislators lean toward letting business people track our financial habits virtually at will.(our = consumers’ , 注意,凡是文章出現和人、組織等相關的概念,都應作標記。)
32.We know from the passage that .
[替換與定位]本題問我們從文中可以知道什么?必須對每個選項進行仔細推敲,否則難以進行準確定位。選項A和D都與立法議員有關,但D中l(wèi)aw-maker是第二段第二句出現的legislators的替換詞,它更有可能是答案(和26題類似)。第二段的大意為:消費者的積極分子正在推動國會通過更好的隱私保護法,但到目前為止沒什么結果。立法議員們傾向于讓商人幾乎是隨意地追蹤我們(消費者)的消費習慣。因此,最后選定與此意思相一致的D) law-makers are inclined to give a free hand to businesses to inquire into customer’s buying habits立法議員們傾向讓企業(yè)自由調查消費者的購買習慣。其中are inclined to = lean toward,inquire into customer’s buying habits = track our financial habits, give a free hand = virtually at will。
[干擾項分析] A) legislators are acting to pass a law to provide better privacy protection立法議員正在采取行動通過一項提供更好的隱私保護的法律,與文中內容相反;B) most states are turning a blind eye to the deceptive practices of private businesses大部分州對私營企業(yè)欺騙性的做法熟視無睹,過于夸張、絕對;C) the state of Minnesota is considering drawing up laws to private information明尼蘇達州正在考慮制定法律保護私人信息,文中沒有提到。
③ As an example of what’s going on,(舉例標志句型)consider U.S. Bancorp, which was recently sued for deceptive practices by the state of Minnesota. According to the lawsuit, the bank supplied a telemarketer called MemberWorks with sensitive customer data such as names, phone numbers, bank-account and credit-card numbers, Social Security numbers, account balances and credit limits.
④ With these customer lists in hand, MemberWorks started dialing for dollars-selling dental plans, videogames, computer software and other products and services. Customers who accepted a “free trial offer” had 30 days to cancel. (33) If the deadline passed, they were charged automatically through their bank or credit-card accounts. ( the deadline是指free trial的最后期限。they = customers ) U.S. Bancorp collected a share of the revenues.
33. When the “free trial” deadline is over, you’ll be charged without notice for a product or service if .
[替換與定位]本題是問:免費試用期結束之后,發(fā)生什么樣的情況你將會在沒有通知時因某項產品或服務被收費?根據關鍵詞free trial定位到第四段第二、三句,大意為:接受免費試用服務的顧客有30天的時間可以取消它。如果最后期限過了,就會通過銀行或信用卡帳戶自動對顧客收費。也就是說,顧客如果在指定期限內不取消服務,就會被自動扣費。顯然應該選 A) you fail to cancel it within the specified period你沒有在指定期限內取消服務。題干中without notice = automatically; the specified period = 30 days。
[干擾項分析] B) you happen to reveal your credit card number你偶然暴露了你的信用卡號碼;C) you find the product or service unsatisfactory你覺得產品或服務不能令人滿意;D) you fail to apply for extension of the deadline你沒有能夠申請延長最后期限;這三個選項都是拼湊了原文中的詞匯來進行干擾,與文中信息不符。
⑤ Customers were doubly deceived, the lawsuit claims.(訴訟內容)They didn’t know that the bank was giving account numbers to MemberWorks. And if customers asked, they were led to think the answer was no.
⑥ The state sued MemberWorks separately for deceptive selling.(訴訟內容)The company denies that it did anything wrong. For its part, U.S. Bancorp settled without admitting any mistakes.(兩家公司都不承認做錯了什么。由于沒有法律保護消費者,他們才會肆無忌憚。)But it agreed to stop exposing its customers to nonfinancial products sold by outside firms. ( it = U.S. Bancorp ) A few top banks decided to do the same. Many other banks will still do business with MemberWorks and similar firms.
⑦ And banks will still be mining data from your account in order to sell you financial products, including things of little value, such as credit insurance and credit-card protection plans.(第三到第七段為舉例詳細說明顧客是如何被侵犯隱私的,如此多的細節(jié)內容一般會涉及多個考題。)
⑧ (34) You have almost no protection from businesses that use your personal accounts for profit. ( protection 是指法律上的保護,you指消費者) For example, no federal law shields “transaction and experience” information-mainly the details of your bank and credit-card accounts. Social Security numbers are for sale by private firms. They’ve generally agreed not to sell to the public. (They = private firms) But to businesses, the numbers are an open book. ( the numbers = Social Security numbers社會保險號碼) Self-regulation doesn’t work. A firm might publish a privacy-protection policy, but who enforces it?
34. Businesses do not regard information concerning personal bank accounts as private because .
[替換與定位]本題是問企業(yè)不把個人銀行帳戶的信息看作是私人信息的原因是什么?根據關鍵詞Businesses / personal bank accounts定位到文章倒數第二段,其大意為:企業(yè)利用你的個人帳戶獲利,你卻幾乎無法得到保護。比如說,沒有哪一部聯邦法律保護 (shields)“交易往來”信息——主要是你的銀行和信用卡帳戶的細節(jié)。私人公司還出售社會保險號碼,它們一般會同意不向公眾出售。但對于企業(yè)來說,這些號碼是公開的信息。(也就是說可以向企業(yè)銷售)行業(yè)自律是不起作用的,一家公司也許會發(fā)布隱私保護政策,但是誰去實施它呢?另外,再根據第六段內容The company denies that it did anything wrong. For its part, U.S. Bancorp settled without admitting any mistakes. 綜合判斷,應該選B) it is considered “transaction and experience ” information unprotected by law這些信息被(企業(yè))認為是不被法律保護的“交易往來”信息。
[干擾項分析] A) its revelation do no harm to consumers under the current protection policy,信息泄露在現今保護政策下對消費者無害,與原文相反,因為消費者已經受到傷害;C) it has always been considered an open secret by the general public這些信息始終被一般公眾認為是公開的秘密,文中無信息支持,從常識上來說,公眾也不可能認為自己的個人帳戶信息是公開的秘密;D) its sale can be brought under control through self-regulation這些信息的出售通過自律能夠得到控制,與原文信息Self-regulation doesn’t work不符。
⑨ Take U.S. Bancorp again. Customers were told, in writing, that “all personal information you supply to us will be considered confidential.” Then it sold your data to MemberWorks. The bank even claims that doesn’t “sell” your data at all. It merely “shares”it and reaps a profit. Now you know.(結尾段再次舉U.S. Bancorp的例子,提醒消費者。)
35. We can infer from the passage that .
[替換與定位]本題要求對文章進行推斷,考查對全文進行綜合概括的能力。文章談到現行法律對消費者沒什么保護,當然消費者的利益會被繼續(xù)侵犯,所以選 C) consumers’ privacy will continue to be invaded消費者的隱私將繼續(xù)被侵犯。本題與34題相關。
[干擾項分析] A) banks will have to change their ways of doing business銀行將不得不改變做生意的方式,原文指出現行法律并不保護消費者的某些交易信息,立法議員也對企業(yè)放任自流,所以銀行并不會如A所言;B) privacy protection laws will soon be enforced隱私保護法將很快被執(zhí)行,與文章最后一句矛盾;D) “free trial” practice will eventually be banned“免費試用”最終將會被禁止,文中無信息支持。

Passage Four
It’s hardily news that the immigration system is a mess.(揭示主題)Foreign nationals have long been slipping across the border with fake papers, and visitors who arrive in the U.S. legitimately often overstay their legal welcome without being punished.(36)But since Sept. 11, it’s become clear that terrorists have been shrewdly factoring the weaknesses of our system into their plans.(38)In addition to their mastery of forging passports , at least three of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers (劫機者) were here on expired visas. That’s been a safe bet until now. ( That = be here on expired visas ) The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) (移民歸化局) lacks the resources, and apparently the inclination, to keep track of the estimated 2 million foreigners who have intentionally overstayed their welcome.(第一段講了整個美國的移民體系一團糟, 外國人(包括恐怖分子)持假證件非法入境, 簽證過期非法居留等。作者批評了INS工作不力。)
36. Terrorists have obviously taken advantage of .
[替換與定位]本題問恐怖分子明顯地利用了什么?第一段第三句開始部分告訴我們,很明顯911恐怖分子得逞是因為他們利用了美國移民體系的弱點(weaknesses),如:forging passports(偽造護照), 過期簽證等。迄今這一直是一場安全的賭博。美國移民歸化局缺乏相關資源,并且也不愿意去追蹤大約200萬故意超過居留期的外國人(其中就有恐怖分子)。但是,這種對移民欺詐行為的懈怠、馬虎態(tài)度可能會改變(第二段第一句)。從以上可以看出,恐怖分子得逞首先應歸咎于美國的整個移民體系,INS這個機構辦事不力,缺乏效率。所以應該選D) the low efficiency of the Immigration and Naturalization Service移民歸化局的低效率。
[干擾項分析] A) the legal privileges granted to foreigners給予外國人的法律特權,以及B) the excessive hospitality of the American people美國人民的過分好客,這兩項文中都無信息支持。C) the irresponsibility of the officials at border checkpoints邊境檢查站官員的不負責任,文章最后雖然講了美國要加強邊境安全以防恐怖分子襲擊,但并未提到恐怖分子是利用邊境檢查站官員的不負責任而混入美國的,所以C錯。
38. It can be inferred from the passage that before Sept. 11, aliens with expired visas .
[定位與替換] 本題問從文章可推斷在911之前持有過期簽證的外國人會怎么樣?根據關鍵詞Sept. 11 / expired visas,定位到第一段。第一段第二句visitors who arrive in the U.S. legitimately often overstay their legal welcome without being punished. 那些合法來到美國的游客經常超出了他們的合法居留期而不被懲罰,同時注意at least three of the 19 Sept . 11 hijackers were here on expired visas中用的是過去時態(tài)were, 說明在911之前這幾個劫機者持的是過期簽證。最后一句也提到差不多有200萬外國人這樣做,這些簽證到期的外國人可以隨意在美國停留,因為沒有人來找他們麻煩。因此選C) might stay on for as long as they wished 可以想呆多久就呆多久。
[干擾項分析] A) might have them extended without trouble可以輕而易舉地延長簽證,其中them是指visas;B) would be closely watched by FBI agents將會被FBI的特工密切監(jiān)視;D) would live in constant fear of deportation將會一直生活在可能會被驅逐的恐懼中;這三個干擾項文中都無信息支持。
But this laxness(馬虎)toward immigration fraud may be about to change.(主題句后面詳細闡述如何change。)Congress has already taken some modest steps. The U.S.A. Patriot Act, passed in the wake of the Sept. 11 tragedy, requires the FBI, the Justice Department, the State Department and the INS to share more data, which will make it easier to stop watch-listed terrorists at the border.(第二句主干The U.S.A Patriot Act requires the FBI … to share more data. 第二段大意是講國會已經通過立法,要求有關部門合作將恐怖分子拒之門外。)
37. We learn from the passage that coordinated efforts will be made by various U.S. government agencies to .
[替換與定位]本題問美國的不同政府機構將會作出什么樣的協調努力?本文定位不大容易,要求能識別the FBI, the Justice Department , the State Department and the INS = various U.S. government agencies,具有一定的概括能力。第二段的意思是:這種對移民欺詐行為的懈怠狀態(tài)可能會有所改變,國會已經采取了一些適當措施,緊隨著911慘劇之后通過的《美國愛國者法案》要求聯邦調查局、司法部、國務院和移民歸化局共享更多的資料,這將使在邊境就阻止列入名單的恐怖分子變得更加容易。所以應該選B) ward off terrorist suspects at the border,是原文stop watch-listed terrorists at the border的同義替換。注意:非限制性定語從句后面經常包含重要解題信息。
[干擾項分析] A) refuse the renewing of expired visas拒絕更新過期的簽證;C) prevent the forgery of immigration papers避免偽造移民文件;D) limit the number of immigrants to the U.S. 限制來美國的移民數量。三個干擾項在文中都無信息支持。
But what’s really needed, critics say, is even tougher laws and more resources aimed at tightening up border security.(本段討論中心)Reformers are calling for a rollback of rules that hinder law enforcement. They also want the INS to hire hundreds more border patrol agents and investigators to keep illegal immigrant out and to track them down once they’re here. Reformers also want to see the INS set up a database to monitor whether visa holders actually leave the country when they are required to.
All these proposed changes were part of a new border-security bill that passed the House of Representatives but died in the Senate last week.(proposed changes指代上文中critics和reformer所要求的各種措施。)(40) Before Sept. 11, legislation of this kind had been blocked by two powerful lobbies: universities, which rely on tuition form foreign students who could be kept out by the new law, and business, which relies on foreigners for cheap labor. Since the attacks, they’ve backed off. The bill would have passed this time but for congressional maneuverings and is expected to be reintroduced and to pass next year.
40. Before Sept. 11, the U.S. Congress had been unable to pass stricter immigration laws because ________.
[定位與替換]本題是問911之前美國國會未能通過更嚴格的移民法律的原因。根據關鍵詞Before Sept. 11定位到原文第四段,legislation of this kind had been blocked = had been unable to pass stricter immigration laws。第二句的大意是:在911之前,這類立法被兩大院外活動集團所阻止:大學(依靠外國留學生的學費)和企業(yè)(依靠外國廉價勞工),新法律將會將外國留學生和廉價勞工拒之門外。所以本題選A) they might have kept away foreign students and cheap labor它們可能將外國學生和廉價勞工拒之門外。
[干擾項分析] B) it was difficult to coordinate the efforts of the congressmen很難協調國會議員的行動,無信息支持;C) education and business circles cared little about national security教育界和商界對國家安全不怎么關心,文中并沒有說教育界和商界有這樣的觀點,曲解原文;D) resources were not available for their enforcement 沒有資源(或財力)來實行,文中無信息支持。
Also on the agenda for next year: a proposal, backed by some influential law-makers, to split the INS into two agencies — a good cop that would tend to service functions like processing citizenship papers and a bad cop that would concentrate on border inspections, deportation and other functions. One reason for the division,( the division = split ) supporters say, is that the INS has in recent years become too focused on serving tourists and immigrants. After the Sept. 11 tragedy, the INS should pay more attention to serving the millions of ordinary Americans who rely on the nation’s border security to protect them from terrorist attacks. (第二段講國會已經通過立法,要求一些部門合作來將恐怖分子拒之門外。本文語篇關鍵詞immigration,border,INS,語篇模式為提出問題,解決問題,第二段到第五段為各種提出來的解決方案。)
39. It is believed by many that all these years the INS _________.
[定位與替換]本題詢問許多人這些年來對INS的看法。文章最后一段主要圍繞INS進行闡述,大意是:有建議要將INS分成兩個機構,一個負責處理公民身份文件,另一個負責邊境檢查、驅逐出境等。支持將INS分開的人認為(也就是題干里很多人的觀點),INS太過于注重為游客和移民服務了。911之后INS應該把更多的注意力放在為千百萬普通美國民眾服務,他們有賴于國家的邊境安全來免遭恐怖分子的襲擊?偠灾,要重視國家安全。所以,應該選整合了最后一段最后兩句意思的C) has over-emphasized its service functions at the expense of the nation’s security過分強調了服務功能而以國家安全為代價。too focused on = over-emphasized。
[干擾項分析] A) has been serving two contradictory functions一直在履行兩個互相矛盾的職責,和文中內容不符;B) has been too liberal in granting visas to tourists and immigrants indiscriminately在向游客和移民發(fā)放簽證時不加區(qū)別、太過寬松,曲解原文,文中只是說過分注重為游客和移民服務而已;D) has ignored the pleas of the two powerful lobbies忽視了兩大院外活動集團的呼吁,與文中內容不符,只是利用two powerful lobbies 的信息來進行干擾。

Part IV Error Correction
Culture refers to the social heritage of a people — the learned patterns for thinking, feeling and acting that characterize a population or society, (S1)include the expression of these patterns in material things. Culture is (S2)compose of nonmaterial culture — abstract creations like values, beliefs, customs and institutional arrangements — and material culture — physical (S3)object like cooking pots, computers and bathtubs. In sum, culture reflects both the ideas we share (S4)or everything we make. In ordinary speech, a person of culture is the individual (S5)∧can speak another language — the person who is (S6)unfamiliar with the arts, music, literature, philosophy, or history. But to sociologists, to be human is to be cultured, (S7)because of culture is the common world of experience we share with other members of our group.
Culture is (S8)essentially to our humanness. It provides a kind of map for relating to others. Consider how you fret your way about social life. How do you know how to act in a classroom, or a department store, or toward a person who smiles or (S9)laugh at you? Your culture supplies you (S10)by broad, standardized, ready-made answers for dealing with each of these situations. Therefore, if we know a person’s culture, we can understand and even predict a good deal of his behavior.
[題解]
S1. include → including(動詞用法錯誤,include不是與前面的characterize并列作定語從句的謂語,而應該是以現在分詞形式引導伴隨狀語從句)
S2. compose → composed(動詞用法錯誤,be composed of 是一固定搭配短語,意為“由…組成”)
S3. object → objects(名詞單復數錯誤,因對其作進一步說明的like后面跟的是三個復數名詞,故object應該用復數形式)
S4. or → and(連接詞搭配錯誤,both … and … / either … or …,根據句意這里應該用both … and …)
S5. ∧ → who(句子結構錯誤,該句的主干部分為a person of culture is the individual,根據上下文意思,后面部分can speak another language為修飾individual的定語從句,缺少了引導詞,應該加上who)
S6. unfamiliar → familiar(上下文邏輯錯誤,“文化人”應該是“熟悉藝術、音樂、文學、哲學及歷史的人”)
S7. because of → because(詞匯用法錯誤,復合介詞because of 后只能跟名詞結構,后面是從句只能用連接詞because引導,所以應去掉of )
S8. essentially → essential(副詞用法錯誤,essentially不能作表語,應該改用形容詞essential)
S9. laugh → laughs(動詞第三人稱單復數錯誤,動詞laugh要與其主語的人稱和數保持一致,其主語是關系代詞who,而who指代的是a person,所以應該改用第三人稱單數laughs)
S10. by → with(動詞和介詞搭配錯誤,supply sb. with sth.是固定搭配短語,意為“向某人提供某物”)
[解析]
第一段第一句的主干是Culture refers to the social heritage of a people。破折號后的內容是對the social heritage的進一步解釋說明,其中that引導定語從句修飾the learned patterns of … acting,including…為現在分詞引導伴隨狀語從句。本段第二句的主干是Culture is composed of nonmaterial culture and material culture。破折號后的abstract creations 和physical objects平行,分別修飾前面的nonmaterial culture和material culture。In sum, … 為作者作的初步總結。In ordinary speech, … 和 But to sociologists, … 為兩個對比句。
第二段中these situations指代Consider … / How do you know…這兩句中的內容。
[譯文]
文化是指一個民族的社會傳統,也就是人們所習得的思考、感知和行為模式,它們構成了一個群體或社會的特點,包括這些模式在物質事物方面的表現。文化由非物質文化(抽象的創(chuàng)造物,如:價值觀、信仰、風俗和制度上的安排)和物質文化(有形的物體,如:烹調用鍋、計算機和浴缸)組成?偠灾, 文化既反映了我們共有的觀念也反映了我們創(chuàng)造的每一件事物。一般說來,有文化的人是指這個人能夠說另外一門語言,熟悉藝術、音樂、文學、哲學或歷史。但對社會學家而言,要成為人就要有教養(yǎng),因為文化是我們與我們所處群體的其它成員分享的共同體驗。
文化對我們的人性來說是必不可少的,它提供了一種與他人聯系的圖式。不妨考慮一下你是如何為你的社會生活方式而煩惱的,你是如何知道在教室里,在百貨商店里,或者面對著一個對你微笑或者取笑你的人時,你應該有怎樣的行為舉止?你的文化為你提供了處理每一種此類狀況的主要的、標準化的、現成的答案。因此,如果我們了解一個人的文化,我們就能理解甚至預測他的很多行為。

[范文]
A Letter to the Editor of a Newspaper
June 19, 2004
Dear Editor,
I am a junior in Peking University and a regular reader of your prestigious newspaper. I am writing to confide to you my unpleasant experience because I take you as my friend. Last Sunday, I went to the XXX Foreign Bookstore for the latest version of an English-Chinese Dictionary. On my way home, I was filled with joy because this dictionary is the type I have been longing for years. However, when I was back home browsing through the dictionary, I was astonished to find lots of pages were stained and missing. And I found some entries are mistakenly defined. I rushed back to the store and found the manager to complain about the quality problems and asked him to refund my money. But he gave me the cold shoulder, arguing that this was not their fault and the publisher was to blame.
Over the past week, I have been pondering what happened and decided to write you a letter. I am writing this letter not to pour out my complaints before you but to appeal to the service industry to improve its service quality. I was hoping the service industry could provide full catering service to every customer. The development of our society calls for high-level service!
I look forward to your opinion on this matter.
Best wishes,
Yours faithfully,
Zhang Shen
