    【录音原文】
    W: OK, so we’re going to look at the influenza epidemic of 1918 and, uh, probably its effects, like how many people got the flu.
    M: The numbers should be fairly easy to find.
    W: Actually, I have some numbers already. Let me see… OK. From spring 1918 to winter 1919. 25 percent of Americans—one out of every four people—contracted the flu…and about 3 percent of the people who got the flu died from it.
    M: Wow. One—fourth of the population got sick. That’s a lot. It must’ve had a pretty bad effect on the workforce and productivity. Imagine if one-fourth of the people didn’t show up for work. Doctors and hospitals must have been overwhelmed.
    W: Here’s some more interesting numbers:675.000 Americans died from influenza, but only 116,000 died in World War I. That means that the war killed only about…what…about one-sixth of the people who died of the flu.
    M: I wonder how the flu statistics compare with the statistics for other major epidemics, you know, like AIDS and tuberculosis…or other flu epidemics. I think there were other flu epidemics later, after 1918.
    W: Hmm, I don’t know, but I’ll try to find out. That might be good to include in our report.
    M: So, we call talk about the flu and its effects on society and the economy, you know, and…uh compare it to other epidemics. What else should we do?
    W: I think we should tell stories about its effects on real people. My great-grandfather could remember the flu epidemic. He was born in 1910, so he was eight years old at the time. He remembered that there were a lot of funerals. His baby sister and his best friend died of the flu, and that made an impression on him.
    M: Wow. Did your great-grandfather get the flu?
    W: You know, I’m not really sure…he never said if he got sick. Well, I mean, if he did, he survived it and lived to be 91.
    M: You could tell the story about your great-grandfather. You know…that might be a great way to start our presentation.
    W: Yeah? Maybe. It might get our audience’s attention.
    M: I think we should also talk about the connection between the flu and World War I. That was the first global war, and it was the first global epidemic in recorded history. I’ve done some reading about that. What I found out was, it was the army that first noticed large numbers of men getting sick, and it was the army that first started reporting statistics about how many people were affected. You can imagine how fast influenza spread among soldiers living in close quarters, and travelling to other countries.
    W: Wow. OK…ah…we’ve got some pretty good ideas. I like what you’re saying about focusing on the war and the global aspects.
    M: I’ll do a little more research and see what else I can find.
    W: Good. I will, too. I’ll look for stuff about other epidemics. Why don’t we meet again and talk about what we have? Can you meet again on Thursday?
    M: Uh…yeah, sure, that’s fine with me.

    问答题

    正确答案:
    Choosing a Career When students graduate from college, many of them do not know how they want to spend their working lives and they sometimes move from job to job, until they find something that suits them and of equally importance to which they are suited. When we choose our careers we need to ask ourselves two questions. First, what do we think we would like to be? Second, what kind of people are we? So it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.

  • 第8题:

    单选题
    Some crops are relatively high yielders and could be planted in preference to others to _____ the food supply.
    A

    enhance

    B

    curb

    C

    disrupt

    D

    heighten


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    句意:有些庄稼产量较高,应比其他农作物多种植以提高粮食供应量。句子前后形成因果关系,有些庄稼产量高,多种植自然会“提高”粮食供应量,heighten提高,升高,尤指数量、程度方面的提高,符合句意。enhance提高,增加,尤指在价值、价格、力量、吸引力等抽象方面的增加。curb抑制,控制。disrupt使分裂,使瓦解,不能和the food supply形成合理搭配。

    D

    The measure that parents are restricted from smoking in cars with children is useful


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推理判断题。第一段开头提到,市政府在餐馆和酒吧的禁烟令虽然极具争议,但是历史表明它们非常有效。所以A正确。第三段中提到,Scribbler50的贴激发了博客名为PalMD的医师对禁烟的有效性进行调查的灵感。由此可见,B错误,是PalMD进行的调查。第六段中提到不是所有反对吸烟的标语都同等有效,而要看针对谁,有时候可能会适得其反,所以C不准确。最后一段中提到,一些地区已经限制和孩子在一起的父母在车内抽烟,但还没有看见有关评估这些结果的报告,所以D错误。正确答案为A。

  • 第12题:

    B

    elements

    C

    components

    D

    compounds


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    句意:为什么一家素食餐馆除了配料以外要使自己的饭菜的每一方面都做得像肉食似的?ingredient成分,因素,专指烹调用的配料。由于本题提到的是餐馆,因此为正确答案。element元素,成分,指一个组合整体中的基本的、最主要的组成成分。component成分,部分,指构成一个完整的系统的各种成分或部件。compound混合物,化合物,指由两种或多种元素或部分构成的东西,相互之间独立存在。

    B

    his family led a very hard life

    C

    his mother gave less attention to him

    D

    his mother treated him as more than an assistant


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    推理题。注意本题的关键词EXCEPT。根据题干定位至原文第四段。由本段第二句可以看出,作者是家里最年长的,A选项的说法正确,不选。从第三句母亲肩上的担子很重可以推断出家里生活艰难,B选项的说法也正确,不选。该段的第五、六句指出,作者渴望得到母亲的关心,并在第七句中进一步指出他需要了解到母亲不仅仅把他当作一个帮手和持家的小顶梁柱,他需要得到母亲的爱,但从后文得知,他并未得到这个,也可以说,在母亲眼里作者仅仅是一个维持生计的帮手,由此便可知C选项的说法正确而D选项的说法错误。本题为反选题,故正确答案为D。
