2.问答题Practice 2Thoughts in Westminster Abbey  When I am in a serious humour, I very often walk by myself in Westminster Abbey; where the gloominess of the place, and the use which it is applied, with the solemnity of the building, and the condition of the people who lie in it, are apt to fill the mind with a kind of melancholy, or rather thoughtfulness, that is not disagreeable. I yesterday passed a whole afternoon in the churchyard, the cloisters, and the church, amusing myself with the tombstones and inscriptions that I met with in those several regions of the dead. Most of them recorded nothing else of the buried person, but that he was born upon one day, and died upon another:the whole history of his life being comprehended in those two circumstances, that are common to all mankind. I could not but look upon these registers of existence, whether of brass or marble, as a kind of satire upon the departed persons;who had left no other memorial of them, but that they were born and that they died. They put me in mind of several persons mentioned in the battles of heroic poems, who have sounding names given them, for no other reason but that they may be killed, and are celebrated for nothing but being knocked on the head. The life of these men is finely described in holy writ by ‘the path of an arrow’, which is immediately closed up and lost.  Upon my going into the church, I entertained myself with the digging of a grave;and saw in every shovelful of it that was thrown up, the fragment of a bone or skull intermixt with a kind of fresh mouldering earth, that some time or other had a place in the composition of a human body. Upon this I began to consider with myself what innumerable multitudes of people lay confused together under the pavement of that ancient cathedral;how men and women, friends and enemies, priests and soldiers, monks and prebendaries, were crumbled amongst one another, and blended together in the same common mass;how beauty, strength, and youth, with old age, weakness and deformity, lay undistinguished in the same promiscuous heap of matter.

    Practice 3西藏旅游:揭去神秘的面纱  西藏地处中国西南部。13世纪中叶,正式纳入中国元代版图。尽管中国历经多次改朝换代,政权更迭,但是,西藏始终在中央政府控制之下,是中国的一个不可分割的部分。  今天是一个以喷气式飞机、高速公路和计算机网络为标志的信息时代。世界上具有神秘色彩的地方已所剩无几,西藏却是一个例外。  由于其地理位置偏僻、地形地貌独特,原始的自然风光和仍鲜为人知的民俗风情,以及本世纪初一些外国探险家带回去的种种宣传,这一切可能使人们对西藏形成一种神秘感。  西藏历史文化悠久。考古发掘遗迹表明4000至两万年前就有人栖息于此。勤劳勇敢的西藏人民创造了充满活力、丰富多彩的文化习俗,是一个富于独特的传统文化、能歌善舞的民族。  西藏天文学、历算先进,医学发达,拥有大量经典和文学作品。西藏的艺术瑰宝有绘画、建筑、雕刻、音乐、舞蹈、民间戏剧。西藏各地都有著名的古代艺术景点,其中最著名的景点有布达拉宫、扎什伦布寺、大昭寺和小昭寺等。这里的观光旅游和民俗风情旅游,是世界上最为独特的。  如今游客可以以多种方式进入西藏,他们可以乘汽车从新疆、青海、四川或云南到西藏,也可以乘飞机从北京、成都或重庆到拉萨。  现代游客渴望重返大自然,欣赏大自然。西藏地域广阔、人口稀少,高山白雪皑皑、森林郁郁葱葱、杜鹃满山遍野,河流奔腾不息,湖泊静谧安详。这里绝大多数地方没有污染,散发着淡谈的原始醇香。在这里人们可以尽情地享受大自然的恩赐。

    The Tourism of Tibet: Reveal the Mysterious Veil Tibet is located in the southwest of China. It formally belonged to the domain of the Yuan Dynasty in the mid-thirteenth century. Although China has undertaken changes and replacements of dynasties and central governments in Chinese history, Tibet has always been under the control by the central government and been an inseparable part of China.
    Today is an age of information with jet aircrafts, highways and network of computers as its symbols. Mysterious places are rare to be found in the world, but Tibet is an exception.
    Because of its geographical position, unique topography and terrain; unknown but existent original customs and natural scenery; and various propagandas brought back by foreign explorers, all these render people possible to form a mysterious picture of Tibet.
    Tibet has a long history. Ancient remains show that human .beings lived here from 4 thousand to 20 thousand years ago. Tibetans are so diligent and brave that they have created diverse cultural customs. This is a nation with special traditional culture and a nation keen on dancing and singing.
    Tibet is advanced in astronomy, ancient, algorithm and medicine. Tibet is abounded of classics and literature works. Among Tibetan art treasures are painting, architecture, carving, music, dancing, folk opera. Of famous ancient art sites all around Tibet, the most well-known sites are the Potala Palace, Zhaxilhunbo Temple, Jokhang Temple, Ramoche Temple and etc. The tour of these places and the local customs are the most special in the world.
    Now tourists can enter Tibet in many ways, by bus from Xingjiang, Qinghai, Sichuan or Yunnan; by air from Beijing, Chengdu or Chongqing to Lhasa.
    Modern tourists are eager to return to and enjoy the nature. Tibet has a large area, a small population, high mountains covered with snow, rich forests and booming azalea, rampage rivers and tranquil lakes. Most of the places are free from pollution and preserve their original state for people to enjoy the bounty of the nature.

    问答题
    Passage 2  Is there something as truth? For good many centuries “the search for truth” has been  1 _ the noblest activity of the human mind, but the seekers after truth have come to such  2 conclusions that it often seems that very little progress has been made.  3 , there are many people who feel that we are actually going backward  4 our knowledge. They  5 , often contemptuously, that we have more “knowledge” than our ancestors, but they think we are farther from the truth than ever, or even that we have  6 the truth that we once possessed.  If people look for anything long enough without finding it, the question naturally arises  7 the thing is really there to find. You have seen a picture of an animal with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tall and maybe an eagle’s wings for good  8 . There is plenty of evidence that each part of this animal  9 -but there is no  10   evidence that the parts ever occur in this combination. It is at least  11 that the seekers after “truth” have made a similar mistake and invented a(n)  12 combination.  It is  13 to consider that the noun truth comes from the adjective true, and that the Latin world for truth, verities, also comes form an adjective, versus. In both languages the notion of true -accurate,  14 to facts-seems to have developed before the notion of truth. We cannot definitely prove this,  15 even older words meaning “truth” may have been forgotten, but it seems  16 . If you want to find out whether a man has told the truth, you  17 his words with facts. If they  18 , you decide that his statement was true. You may then say either that his words were true or that he spoke the truth-but you cannot simply  19 words to find out whether there is something called truth in them. Your second statement is merely a grammatical  20 of the first.1. A. regarded    B. considered   C. pondered   D. referred2. A. illegal    B. identical   C. different   D. profound3. A. However    B. Nevertheless  C. In fact    D. In contrast4. A. to abandon   B. to derive   C. to enrich   D. to accumulate5. A. confess    B. realize    C. admit     D. reveal6.

    正确答案: 1.B  consider sth. 认为某物如何。因而被动语态为sth. be considered…。ponder沉思,考虑。refer提到,涉及,咨询。
    2.C  that之后提到it often seems that very little progress has been made“似乎没有什么进步”,因此profound“深刻的,意义深远的”可首先排除。illegal“违法的,不合规定的”不符合该处语境。identical“同一的”不符合逻辑关系。答案是different,意为“人们的结论是如此不同,往往看起来几乎没有取得什么进步。”
    3.C  前面提到“看起来几乎没有取得什么进步”,这里是“有些人觉得我们在后退”,前后句并没有转折或对比,选项A、B、D排除。答案是C项,表示本句是对上一句的细节发展。
    4.D  由下文的that we have more “knowledge”可以推断此处是“积累、积聚”的意思,D项正确。abandon“放弃,遗弃”。enrich“使充实,使富足”。derive“得自,起源”。
    5.C  前文提到很多人觉得我们又退后到开始积累知识,that从句的意思是:我们比我们的祖先有更多的知识。故空白处应是一个表示“认同”的词。结合选项:confess“承认,坦白”,往往用于承认错误、罪行。realize“认识到”,与often contemptuously“往往是轻蔑地”不符。reveal“展现,揭露”不符合语境。答案是admit,意为“承认”。
    6.C  even说明此处是在前一句基础上的递进说明,前一句提到我们比以往任何时候都原理真理,故lost“丢失”最能说明程度的加深。句意:甚至丧失了我们曾经拥有的真理。
    7.D  从句意上可以看出这个从句是question的同位语,与question“问题”对应的应是whether“是否”。
    8.A  for good measure为固定用法,表示“作为额外增添”。
    9.B  本段都是为了说明首句,当人们长期寻找某样事物而不得的时候,就会怀疑它是否存在。本句中“没有证据证明所有的部分都出现在这一组合中”即对应首句的“找不到的事物”,but表明破折号前后是对比转折关系,故此处应是表示“这种动物的每一部分都存在”,exists符合句意。
    10.C  常用于修饰evidence“证据”的是reliable“可靠的”。appropriate“适当的”。unique“独特的”。dependent“依靠的”。
    11.D  conceivable“可能的,想得到的”,此处表示:至少可以想象那些寻求真理的人犯了一个相似的错误。informative“情报的,见闻广博的”。thoughtful“深思的,体贴的”。considerable“相当大的;值得考虑的”。
    12.B  这里是将动物的例子与那些寻找真理的人进行对照,二者在某种程度上是一样的。选项中能用于修饰这种“不切实际”的组合的是imaginary“想象的,虚构的”。 unbelievable“难以置信的,不可信的”。impressive“给人深刻印象的,感人的”。idealized“理想化的”。
    13.A  句子真正主语是to consider that the noun truth comes from the adjective true“认为名词‘真理’来源于形容词‘真的’”,enlightening“有启发作用的”,符合该处语境。delighting“令人高兴的”。refreshing“提神的,使清爽的”。distressing“悲伤的,使痛苦的”。
    14.A  这里是对true的概念进行解释,即accurate“精确的”,需填词与to facts连用应表示相似意思。conform to“符合”,符合该处语境,conform to facts“与事实一致”。comply with“顺从,遵守”。match“相配,匹配”。resemble“象,类似”。
    15.B  主句“我们不能明确证明”,从句“甚至是更古老的表示‘真理’的词也可能被忘记了”,主从句是因果关系,后句是对前句的原因说明,故选since。
    16.A  前面提到我们不能明确证明,but提示句意转折,则该处应是表示:尽管可靠性仍值得怀疑,但它却是有合理之处。reasonable“合理的,公道的,通情达理的”,符合句意。inevitable“不可避免的,必然的”。incredible“令人难以置信的”。feasible“可行的”。
    17.C  compare与with搭配表示“将…与…比较”。separate“分开,隔离”。discern“识别,领悟;认识”。distinguish“区别,辨别”。
    18.B  you decide that his statement was true“你判断他的话是真的”,也就是事实和他的话相符,fit“与…相符”,符合句意。suit“合适,使适应”。vary“改变,变更”。identify“识别,鉴别”。
    19.C  examine“检查”,这里指“检查他的话看看是否有真理在里面”。survey“调查;测量,勘定”。audit“审计;查账”。investigate“调查,研究”。
    20.D  variation“变化,变异”。前边提到,将他的言行对比,看他的话是否是真的(true)。但不能单从他的话来看是否真实(truth)。因为第二个说法“是否真实”(whether there is something called truth in them)只不过是第一个的语法变化而已。

    正确答案: 参考译文
    Dr. Sun Yat-sen Dr. Sun Yat-sen was a great figure in history, who stood in the vanguard of his times, and he was a great patriot and a great pioneer of the Chinese democratic revolution. He devoted his whole life to national independence, democracy, freedom and people’s welfare. He advocated adapting oneself to world trends and meeting the needs of the masses, and he declared war on the monarchy, which had been considered sacred and inviolable for thousands of years, and on all reactionary forces that impeded social progress. Dr. Sun was the first to voice the slogan, “Regenerate China. “ He hoped that China would catch up with the advanced countries in the world and worked hard to help attain this lofty goal. In spite of many dangers, difficulties and setbacks, he kept on fighting and faithfully kept his word: “I shall press forward with indomitable will; the more setbacks I experience, the more determined and persistent I will become.” He regarded arousing the masses and allying in common cause with those peoples of the world who treat us as equals as the quintessence of his 40-year revolutionary career, and he bequeathed it to those revolutionaries who succeeded him. Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s revolutionary thought and action had an earth quaking and far-reaching impact on modem and contemporary China. This is where the great spirits of both the Revolution of 1911 and the Chinese people lie.

    正确答案: 1.D  考点:名词辨析。文章首句指出本文的主题是career(职业),所填词应与career意思相近,故答案为D项occupation职业。identification认同。entertainment娱乐。accommodation膳宿。
    2.A  考点:逻辑关系。联系上下文,在高中选课之前职业方向就应该确定,然而很多人都是在工作生活中才考虑这个问题。前后意思有转折,故答案为A项however然而。
    3.C  考点:副词辨析。分析句子结构,and连接了两个表并列关系的原因,由于后半部分出现了partly,因此前半部分也应填入partly,与之对应对应,故答案为C项partly。entirely全部地。mainly主要地。possibly可能地。
    4.D  考点:动词辨析。结合上文,大多数人在一生的工作中要选择几种工作,由此可推断出,一份完美的工作根本不存在,故答案为D项exist存在。fade消失;凋谢。vanish消失。survive幸存。
    5.B  考点:逻辑关系。结合上下文,一份完美的工作不存在,所以人们要参加灵活的培训项目以便有更多的择业机会,由此可知,前后为因果关系,故答案为B项therefore所以。since和for作连词时也表因果,但其后接原因,而不是结果。furthermore此外,而且。
    6.B  考点:固定搭配。fit sb. for sth.为固定搭配,意为“使某人适合做某事”,故答案为B项。
    7.A  考点:名词辨析。文中a single  7   与a field of work对应,空中所填词与work意思相近,A项job是work的近义词,故答案为A项job。
    8.C  考点:介词辨析。根据本句第一个单词Unfortunately可判断,所填单词的意思是否定的,故答案为C项without。这句话的意思是“他们的职业规划没有得到职业顾问或心理专家的帮助”。
    9.A  考点:形容词辨析。分析句子结构,此处所填词作定语,修饰vocational counselor or psychologist (职业顾问或职业心理专家)。结合选项及句意,答案为A项competent有能力的,能胜任的。competitive有竞争力的。aggressive 有进取心的。effective 有效率的。
    10.A  考点:副词辨析。根据句末的hit-or-miss(无计划的,无目的的)可判断出,年轻人们对occupational world的了解不多。故答案为A项little。
    11.B  考点:动词搭配。由空后的from可知,本空所填词能与from搭配使用,只有B项drift符合条件,drift from work to work指不断换工作,故答案为B项。
    12.C  考点:动词搭配。结合句意,本句和上句在意思上应该相反。另一些人即使工作不适合他们,也不换工作,故答案为C项stick。stick to意为“坚持”。apply与to连用表示“应用到…”。appeal与to连用,意为“呼吁:对…有吸引力”。turn与to连用,意为“求助于,转向”。
    13.B  考点:逻辑关系。结合句意,空格处要填的词指代前面的an occupation,故用代词its,答案为B项its。
    14.D  考点:动词辨析。结合句意可知,许多高中生或家长选择专业领域,不是职业从业人员较少就是专业要求较高,因此是盲目地选择。故答案为D项disregarding漠视,忽视。concerning关注。following遵循。considering考虑。
    15.B  考点:名词辨析。所填词能被high修饰,表示专业工作的实际情况,故答案为B项requirements要求。此处是说这些工作对教育水平和个人要求很高。preferences偏好。tendencies倾向。ambitions雄心。
    16.C  考点:名词辨析。此处是说工作的声望好并不是选择工作作为终身职业的好理由。故答案为C项reason理由。
    17.D  考点:逻辑关系。本句是对上句的进一步说明,“而且这些工作不一定报酬都很高”,故答案为表递进的D项Moreover此外。
    18.C  考点:名词辨析。thickness和density均可以与of连用,分别表示“…的厚度/浓度,”和“…的密度”,但二者不与a搭配使用。rate表示“比率”时常用high/low修饰,且构成at a rate of这一固定搭配时,表示“以…的速度”,与语境不符。proportion常构成a proportion of这一结构,表示“…的部分”,在本文中表示很大一部分工作,故答案为C项。
    19.A  考点:固定搭配。作者在提醒年轻人,当然提醒的是大多数人,而不是少部分人,故答案为A项majority大多数。minimum意为最少量。minority少数。multitude不能同时与of和the连用,a multitude of sb./sth.意为“多数,大批”,或the multitude(s),表示“群众,大众”。
    20.C  考点:名词辨析。结合句意可知,这里应该是说提醒年轻人认真考虑此事,故答案为C项consideration考虑,顾虑。proposal提议,建议。suggestion建议。appraisal评价,鉴定。

    单选题
    Which of the following statements is true?
    A

    In America, 30 is equal to 50.

    B

    Thirty is no longer a young age and might soon be replaced by the younger people.

    C

    Thirty is already too old to survive in America.

    D

    Thirty becomes fifty too soon.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    是非题。第二段最后一句指出“Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.”(三十岁被升格为五十岁,但三十岁的人知道他们的时代也会被取代),由此可知在美国三十岁已不算年轻,而且他们可能很快会被年轻人所取代。因此选B。

    Classical Peking Opera arias such as Outwitting the Enemy and Bao Longtu Presides over a Court Trial will be officially made part of the music program of China’s primary and middle schools. According to sources of Beijing Education Commission, the Ministry of Education has decided to make Peking Opera a music course in primary and middle schools as starting from this year in 10 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. Beijing as one of these areas designated for the pilot program will start from the forthcoming new semester offering Peking Opera courses in 20 primary and middle schools.
    Wang Jun, Deputy Section Head in charge of fine arts and physical education under Beijing Education Commission, revealed that the Ministry of Education had revised the standards of the music course of the 9-year compulsory education system by adding in Peking Opera, with the view of inheriting and enhancing the quintessence of national culture.20 primary and middle schools each have been chosen as pioneers in ten provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions for trying out the pilot program. Up to now the 15 arias for teaching purposes have been decided on and each will be taught to students by the grade. The compiling of the textbooks and making of DVD have also got started.
    “It is conducive to raising the students’ awareness of, and urge to study Chinese national culture by offering Peking Opera courses,” Wang observed against the background that at present the primary and middle school students are showing a decline in ability to appreciate the art forms representing our national culture.

    B

    unduly

    C

    arbitrary

    D

    unsatisfied


    正确答案: C

    Body paint or face paint is used mostly by men in preliterate societies in order to attract good health or to ______ disease.
    A

    set aside

    B

    ward off

    C

    shrug off

    D

    give away


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    在文字出现以前的社会中,人们通常在身上或脸上画图以祈求健康或防止疾病。ward off防止,避开(危险的或讨厌的事物)与or之前的动词应该是近义关系。good health和disease形成对比,该短语刚好与attract相反,符合题意,因此B项为正确答案。
