第1题：
The Law to Keep the Oil Industry under Control
The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control.A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline;production limits have been laid down(though these have already been
raised);and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers.But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems,and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long.As on Norwegian politician said last week:“We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”
Ever since the war,the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic
Circle.During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success:Tromso has been built up into a local
capital with a university,a large hospital and a healthy industry.But the oil industry has already started to draw people south,
and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.
The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north,however.With nearly 100 percent employment,everyone
can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil
industry.Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.The
real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life.Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population,but they are an important part of it,because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as
essentially Norwegian.And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage
that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.
In the south, one effect to the development of the oil industry might be _____.A.a large reduction on unemployment.
B.a growth in the tourist industry.
C.a reduction in the number of existing industries.
D.the development of a number of service industries.答案：C解析：本题考查推理判断。
C选项，现存工业数的减少。第三段开始“可是石油工业的影响并不仅仅限于北方。近百分之一百的就业率，使每个人都见到发展的势头，服务业和旅游业的好多工人转向石油工业。某些较小的工业，在从国外购进货物更便宜的情况下，很可能会全部消失。”这说明工业数减少。综上，C选项正确。
A选项，大大减少失业。文内没有涉及，故排除。
B选项，旅游行业增长。文内没有涉及，故排除。
D选项，许多服务公司发展。文内没有涉及，故排除。
故正确选项为C。 -

Who Built Giza's Pyramids（金字塔）?
1 .For centuries,the pyramids of Giza have been timeless symbols of Egyptian culture.But who actually built them? For years, we did not know for sure.But archeologists（考古学家）recently discovered an ancient village near the pyramids.Close by,there was also a ceme-tery（墓地）where pyramid builders were buried.From studying these places, archeologists can now confirm that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners.Ordinary Egyptians built them.
2 .It took about eighty years to build the pyramids.According to archeologists,about 20,000～30,000 people were involved in completing the task.The workers had different roles.Some dug up the rock,some moved it,and some shaped it into blocks.People also worked on different teams,each with its own name.On a wall in Khufu's Great Pyramid,for example,a group of workers wrote“Friends of Khufu.”Teams often competed to do a job faster.
3.Life for these workers was hard.“We can see that in their skeletons（骨架）,”says Azza Mohamed Sarry El-Din,a scientist studying bodies found in the cemetery.The bones show signs of arthritis（关节炎）,which developed from carrying heavy things for a long time.Archeologists have also found many female skeletons in the village and cemetery.The damage to their bones is similar to the men's.Their lives may have been even tougher:male workers lived to age 40～45,but women to only 30～35.However,workers usually had enough food,and they also had medical care if they got sick or hurt.
4 .The work was challenging,but laborers were proud of their work.“It's because they were not just building the tomb of their king,” says Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass.“They were building Egypt.It was a national project,and everyone was a participant.”Both men and women workers suffered from arthritis which developed______.
A:of their king
B:from taking heavy things
C:on different teams
D:by foreigners
E:of their work

Bwill remain alert because he is used to it
Cmay ignore the potential risk of insufficient sleep
Dshould be fired if he continues the medical operation
正确答案： B解析：
此题考查的是对文章第二段的理解。第二段说“住院医生连续不休息地工作40个小时对他们来说是很平常的事情。他们自信在这样的情形下还可以给病人提供最高质量的医疗服务。但是《美国医药协会杂志》上的一篇文章指出连续24小时没有睡觉的人在早上开车的情况就和喝醉的人差不多。让人好奇的是，外科医生认为酒后进行手术应该被开除，但是却不会过多考虑是否应该在睡眠不足的情况下做手术。”意思是严重睡眠不足有巨大的潜在危险。C项“连续工作40个小时的外科医生可能会忽略睡眠不足引起的潜在危险”与文中意思一致。故C项正确。 -

正确答案： D解析：
根据文章第二段最后一句“The old distinction that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true”可知，白领工人比蓝领工人日子过得好的旧有差别已经不再正确了。由此可知，以前白领工人可以不太费事地获得一份好工作，因此选B项“白领工人找到好工作几乎没什么困难”。 -

单选题A pharmaceutical company tested a new painkiller on 1,000 lab rats that were fed large doses of the painkiller for a two-month period. By the end of the experiment, 39 of the rats had died. The company concluded that the painkiller was sufficiently safe to test on humans. Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the pharmaceutical company’s conclusion?AThe amount of painkiller fed to the rats was substantially greater, in relation to body mass, than the dosage any human would take under normal circumstances.
BBecause of the different body chemistry of humans and rats, some compounds can be dangerous for rats but safe for humans, and vice versa.
CTests of this same painkiller on dogs showed that 3 out of 50 dogs developed lesions on their livers during the course of the experiment.
DThe researchers found that during the experiment, the rats showed a significantly lower sensitivity to pain than rats do under normal circumstances.
EIn an experiment of this length with this number of rats, it is not unusual for up to 50 rats to die during the experiment for reasons unrelated to the experiment itself.

M: If you look at any list of New Year’s resolutions you wouldn’t be surprised to see find a better job fight at the top. Vera Gibbons of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine is here with some tips to help you get a better job or maybe take on a career change. Good morning, Vera.
W: That’s right, good morning, nice to see you.
M: Nice to see you too. Happy New Year.
W: Same to you.
M: Start the new year, start looking for a new job, what’s amazing is how many people are actually thinking of doing that this year.
W: Yes, one survey found that 75％of American workers plan to look for a new job this year. They’re unhappy with the pay; they’re unhappy with the situation at their work; they want new challenges; there’s no room for advancement with their current employer, so a lot of people are going to be out there looking for work, and this is the time of year that we are more inclined to actually take the bull by the horns, take the initiative to go out there and find that job.
M: That whole resolution thing.
W: Yes.
M: Is there a good time to go about doing this?
W: Well you know, the opportunities pop up all year long but, yes, the heaviest of hiring generally does take place at the beginning of the year, early, they fire at the end of the year, they hire in the new. They fire for Christmas, and then hire in the next year.
M: So if you think about doing it, you really should get out there now.
W: Get out there now and get the ball rolling, yes.
M: What about the job market in 2007, what does it look like?
W: It is softening a little bit, job growth is slowing down some, because of the contraction in housing and all of those sectors, but that’s been offset a bit by the service sector. Those types of companies are hiring in the service industry. We’re actually expecting 1.3 million jobs to be created this year. And one survey by Career Builder actually found 40 percent of employers will be hiring full-time employees this year. So it’s not a bad time, it’s not great, it’s OK.
M: OK, so if you’re ready to take the plunge, if you wanna get out there, you have some tips. NO. 1 is Do Some Soul Searching.
W: Yes, I just think in order to get out of a job that isn’t going anywhere, a career that’s gonna drift, you really have to sit down and be proactive here, you can’t be reactive you have to be proactive. Motivation is really the key to making any changes in your personal life. People may sit back and say: well I’m getting a paycheck. The benefits are good. Why rock the boat? Here’s the thing, we’re spending that half of our life in the workplace, if you’re unhappy, do some soul searching, figure out where you are, and where you would like to go.
M: And part of that isyou say prioritize your options. What do you mean?
W: Yeah, I mean write down 5-10 things that are important to you in your job, in your career, maybe you wanna a better work-life balance, more flexible schedule whatever that happens to be again, take a look at what’s making you happy, what makes you unhappy, take a look at your goals, your dreams, your aspirations and then put together a plan to actually reach those goals. Because you’re more inclined to get there if you have a plan in place.
M: Good idea. You can actually write these all out. Also of course when you’re going out for that job search, you gotta have the resume, so you say make that resume stand out.
W: Yeah, you know, employer sonly spend about 10 seconds looking at your resume and on…
M: Ten seconds?
W: Yeah, and get this on average for every 245 resumes, they get, they only interview one person for 245 resumes. So it’ very competitive. You need to have your resume stand out, keep it short, keep it succinct, keep it to the point, focus on your measurable accomplishments. And because you’re gonna be looking for different jobs you should be highlighting different skills, different experiences, so it may be relevant for one position but not for another, so you wanna highlight different ones, have several different versions of the resume, all ready to go, then get out there, do the networking.
M: OK, and just briefly, you say do not look online, but do a lot of networking.
W: A lot of networking. That’s the key.
M: Vera Gibbons, thanks so much!
W: Thanks. -

第20题：
问答题Practice 2 Many matters, however, are less easily brought to the test of experience. If, like most of mankind, you have strong convictions on many such matters, there are ways in which you can make yourself aware of your own prejudices. If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you subconsciously are aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If someone maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. So whenever you find yourself getting angry about difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination that your belief is going beyond what the evidence justifies. For those who have enough psychological imagination, it is a good plan to imagine an argument with a person having a different opinion. This has one advantage, and only one, as compared with actual conversation with opponents: this one advantage is that the method is not subject to the same limitations of time and space. Mahatma Gandhi considered it unfortunate to have railways and steamboats and machinery; he would have liked to undo the whole of the industrial revolution. You may never have an opportunity of actually meeting anyone who holds his opinion, because in Western countries most people take the advantage of modern technology for granted. But if you want to make sure that you are right in agreeing with the prevailing opinion, you will find it a good plan to test the arguments that occur to you by considering what Gandhi might have said in refutation of them. I have sometimes been led actually to change my mind as a result of this kind of imaginary dialogue. Furthermore, I have frequently found myself growing more agreeable through realizing the possible reasonableness of a hypothetical opponent.正确答案： 参考译文
然而,很多问题用经验来检验会比较困难。即使你像大多数人那样,在此类事情上执迷不悟,还是有方法让你意识到自己的偏见。如果与你相左的观点激怒了你,这恰恰说明了你已经下意识地认识到自己还没法给自己的想法以合适的理由。如果有人坚称二加二等于五,或者冰岛位于赤道,你更多的是感到同情而非愤怒,除非你对算术或地理几无所知,以致他的观点动摇了你的立场。最残酷的争论是,双方都无法给自己的观点提出合理的证据。所以无论发现自己对不同的意见有多么气恼,一定要保持警惕;你很有可能会发现,经过检验,你的信念并无足够的依据。
对那些想象力丰富的人,想象着同与自己观点相异的人交锋是项不错的计划。与实际的正面交锋相比,这种方式有一个——可以说是惟一的——好处:它无需受时间与空间的限制。圣人甘地认为拥有铁路、轮船和机器是不幸的,他宁愿整个工业革命未曾发生过。你可能永远也不会遇到一个跟他持有相同观点的人,因为在西方国家,绝大部分人都认为现代科技具有诸多好处。但如果你想证实你赞同时下盛行的观点,这一行为是正确的,你可以通过考虑甘地可能给出的拒绝高科技的理由来检验你所坚持的论断,这将是个十分好的方案。我有时确实通过这种想象式的对话改变了原来的观点。此外,通过认识到假想论敌的观点可能存有的合理性,我经常发现自己已变得越来越容易相处。解析： 暂无解析 -

【录音原文】
M: If you look at any list of New Year’s resolutions you wouldn’t be surprised to see find a better job fight at the top. Vera Gibbons of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine is here with some tips to help you get a better job or maybe take on a career change. Good morning, Vera.
W: That’s right, good morning, nice to see you.
M: Nice to see you too. Happy New Year.
W: Same to you.
M: Start the new year, start looking for a new job, what’s amazing is how many people are actually thinking of doing that this year.
W: Yes, one survey found that 75% of American workers plan to look for a new job this year. They’re unhappy with the pay; they’re unhappy with the situation at their work; they want new challenges; there’s no room for advancement with their current employer, so a lot of people are going to be out there looking for work, and this is the time of year that we are more inclined to actually take the bull by the horns, take the initiative to go out there and find that job.
M: That whole resolution thing.
W: Yes.
M: Is there a good time to go about doing this?
W: Well you know, the opportunities pop up all year long but, yes, the heaviest of hiring generally does take place at the beginning of the year, early, they fire at the end of the year, they hire in the new. They fire for Christmas, and then hire in the next year.
M: So if you think about doing it, you really should get out there now.
W: Get out there now and get the ball rolling, yes.
M: What about the job market in 2007, what does it look like?
W: It is softening a little bit, job growth is slowing down some, because of the contraction in housing and all of those sectors, but that’s been offset a bit by the service sector. Those types of companies are hiring in the service industry. We’re actually expecting 1.3 million jobs to be created this year. And one survey by Career Builder actually found 40 percent of employers will be hiring full-time employees this year. So it’s not a bad time, it’s not great, it’s OK.
M: OK, so if you’re ready to take the plunge, if you wanna get out there, you have some tips. NO. 1 is Do Some Soul Searching.
W: Yes, I just think in order to get out of a job that isn’t going anywhere, a career that’s gonna drift, you really have to sit down and be proactive here, you can’t be reactive you have to be proactive. Motivation is really the key to making any changes in your personal life. People may sit back and say: well I’m getting a paycheck. The benefits are good. Why rock the boat? Here’s the thing, we’re spending that half of our life in the workplace, if you’re unhappy, do some soul searching, figure out where you are, and where you would like to go.
M: And part of that is you say prioritize your options. What do you mean?
W: Yeah, I mean write down 5-10 things that are important to you in your job, in your career, maybe you wanna a better work-life balance, more flexible schedule whatever that happens to be again, take a look at what’s making you happy, what makes you unhappy, take a look at your goals, your dreams, your aspirations and then put together a plan to actually reach those goals. Because you’re more inclined to get there if you have a plan in place.
M: Good idea. You can actually write these all out. Also of course when you’re going out for that job search, you gotta have the resume, so you say make that resume stand out.
W: Yeah, you know, employers only spend about 10 seconds looking at your resume and on ...
M: Ten seconds?
W: Yeah, and get this on average for every 245 resumes, they get, they only interview one person for 245 resumes. So it’s very competitive. You need to have your resume stand out, keep it short, keep it succinct, keep it to the point, focus on your measurable accomplishments. And because you’re gonna be looking for different jobs you should be highlighting different skills, different experiences, so it may be relevant for one position but not for another, so you wanna highlight different ones, have several different versions of the resume, all ready to go, then get out there, do the networking.
M: OK, and just briefly, you say do not look online, but do a lot of networking.
W: A lot of networking. That’s the key.
M: Vera Gibbons, thanks so much!
W: Thanks.
