  • 第2题:

    Every year gray whales migrate from the Bering Sea in Alaska to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.
    Eleven gray whales have died in the San Francisco Bay in the last three weeks.No one knows why the whales are dying.
    Last year 270 whales died along the whales'migration route.Many people think starvation is the cause.This year the dead whales seem to have more blubber(fat)on them.
    Twenty years ago,the gray whale was listed as an endangered species.
    Some scientists think that the larger number of whales makes it hard to find enough food.More whales create more pressure on the food supply,a supply that some scientists say may have dwindled as a result of the warm waters of El Nino.
    Most of the whales have been dead for many days before they are found and studied.This makes it hard to find the reason for death.
    65 whales have been seen in the San Francisco Bay Area this year compared to 17 last year.The whales could be dying from many diseases,but it may be over-population.

    Why might the increasing number of whales cause problems with their health?

    A.There's not enough room for them in Alask
    B.There may not be enough food for them in Alask
    C.They get pushed ashor
    D.There are more whales to spread diseas

    Prolonging Human Life
    Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population.Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago.Because more people live longer,there are more people around at any given time.In fact,it is a decrease in death rates,not an increase in birthrates,that has led to the population explosion.
    Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load.In all societies,people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them.In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die.In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have another child.In most contemporary societies,people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not.We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work;we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age.Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement,somebody else must support them.In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty.Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people;unless they have wealth or private or government insurance,they must often"go on welfare"if they have a serious illness.
    When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves,they create grave problems for their families.In the past and in some traditional cultures,they would be cared for at home until they died.Today,with most members of a household working or in school,there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person.To meet this need,a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built.These are often profit-making organizations,although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups.While a few of these institutions are good,most of them are simply"dumping grounds"for the dying in which"care"is given by poorly paid,overworked,and underskilled personnel.

    According to the passage,which of the following statements about retired people in the United States is true?
    A:Many of them have a very hard life.
    B:They cannot live a decent life without enough bank savings.
    C:They rely mainly on their children for financial support.
    D:Most of them live with their children and therefore are well looked after.

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第一段最后一句可知,导致人口爆炸的原因事实上是死亡率的减低,而不是出生率的增高,故选C。
    由文章第二段第四句可知,在狩猎与采集时代,遇到饥荒时,幼儿的死亡是可以接受的,因为如果其父母被饿死,幼儿也无法存活下去,B选项符合文意。
    由文章第二段倒数第二句可知,在美国,很多退休后的人靠社会救济金生活,而救济金的数额非常小,以至于他们的生活穷困潦倒。A项的含义为他们大部分人过着艰难的生活,符合文意。
    此句话之前的内容为:如今,大部分的家庭成员都去工作或上学,经常会发生无人在家照看生病体弱者的情况。接着本句话指出:为了满足这种需求……由此可知,这种需求指对照顾生病体弱者的需求,故选D。
    由文章最后一段的最后一句可知,这些护理机构中只有极少数是不错的,绝大多数就如同接收濒临死亡者的“垃圾场”一样,所提供的“照顾”也都是由收人低、过度劳累及技术水平低下的人完成的,故本题选D。

    Book Shops in London

    Londoners are great readers.They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books一specially paperbacks,which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in
    the costs of printing. They still continue to buy"proper"books,too,printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.
    There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found,from the celebrated one which boasts of being"the biggest bookshop in the world"to the tiny,dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dicken's time. Some of these shops stock,or will obtain,any kind of book,but many of them specialize in second-hand books,in art books,in foreign books,in books on philosophy,politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written.One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.
    Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books,Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes,the collector must venture off the beaten track,to Farringdon Road,for example,in the East Central district of London.Here there is nothing so grandiose as bookshops.Instead,the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on the small barrows(流动集售货车)which line the gutters(街沟).And the collectors,some professional and some amateur, who have been waiting for them,pounce(一把抓住)upon the dusty cascaded(一叠叠图书).In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.

    "Londoners are great readers"means that________.
    A:Londoners are great because they read a lot
    B:there are a great number of readers in London
    C:Londoners are readers who read only great books
    D:Londoners read a lot

    答案:D
    解析:
    这一句的含义是伦敦人喜爱读书。相比较而言,选项D符合题意,因此, D为正确答案。
    查英街是因为书店众多而闻名。这一点在文章第二段明确表达。因此,正确答案为B
    在文章第二段作者谈到要买便宜书就要打破常规到小摊上买。选项D与题意相符,因此,答案为D。
    选项A不对,是因为文章中明确指出弗登街没有像样的书店。选项B不对是因为文章中指出卖主用流动售货车卖书,而不是小书店。D项与文章内容完全相反。因此,选项C为答案。
    文章虽然谈到书店,但重点是放在教读者如何购书,因此,选项D与文章大意相符。

  • 第8题:

    问答题
    The publisher’s techniques for book promotion have become increasingly sophisticated in all advanced countries. The typical traveler or book salesman is likely to hold a college degree, certainly in the United States; he receives a careful briefing from the home office, with elaborate samples and sales aids, and perhaps a car provided, or partly provided, by the firm. 1)A well-run publishing house issues two or three seasonal announcement lists with details of its forthcoming books, as well as an annual catalog of its present and past books still in print, which are sent to the principal booksellers and librarians.For many books, a prospectus may be issued, both for the use of booksellers and for direct mailing by the publisher. The distribution of review copies to the press is the last item in the normal program. These three steps, traveling, catalogs, and reviews, are the vital elements in the machinery of book distribution, which it is virtually impossible to accomplish without the professional work of a publisher. 2)The capacity of some authors to produce a quite presentable book with the help of a printer still leaves them far from their objective unless they can find a publisher to undertake its distribution.  Newspaper and periodical advertising is the publisher’s principal means of reaching the public, and standards here have also risen considerably since World War II. 3)Originally handled entirely by the publisher’s own staff, it is now not uncommon for the larger houses, especially in the United States and in some European countries, to employ advertising agencies to prepare the copy and the general details of the campaign for any important book.4) While few authors consider that their books are advertised adequately and most publishers are highly doubtful whether press advertising does in fact sell books, the amounts spent in relation to sales revenue are much higher than for most other commodities, seldom less than 5 percent for new books.  5)Over the whole field of sales promotion, as publishing houses have grown in size and profitability, there has been a marked tendency for the more commercial methods of general business to be applied to books, which are aggressively promoted to retailers and the public in the same manner as are many other commodities.Though this may increase sales, at least in the short term, it may be doubted whether it is in the interests of the public and to the long-term advantage of good publishing.

    正确答案:
    (1)【答案】管理有方的出版社每季度印发两、三次书单,详细介绍即将出版的书籍,每年印发一次书籍目录,介绍仍在出版的新旧图书,散发给主要的书商和图书管理员。
    【解析】该句较长,但是结构比较清晰,主干为A well-run publishing house issues two or three seasonal announcement lists,介词短语with details of its forthcoming books...和定语从句which are sent to the principal booksellers and librarians均修饰announcement lists。其中publishing house意为“出版社,出版公司”,issue此处指“发行”。
    (2)【答案】有些作者在印刷商帮助下能印出质量精良的书籍。除非这些作者能够找到出版商承担书籍的推销工作,否则他们的最终目标还远未实现。
    【解析】该句主要成分为The capacity of some authors...leaves them far from their objective...,其中to produce a quite presentable book为不定式作后置定语修饰capacity,with the help of a printer为介词短语表示方式,而unless they can find a publisher to undertake its distribution则为让步状语从句,意为“除非…”。
    (3)【答案】原来出版商全靠自己的工作人员做推销,如今,大型出版社,特别是美国和某些欧洲国家,专门聘请广告公司为其重要图书制作广告并全面安排广告活动的具体过程,这种情况并不少见。
    【解析】本句主干为it is now not uncommon for the larger houses...to employ advertising agencies...,其中Originally handled entirely by the publisher’s own staff为过去分词结构作状语,especially in the United States and in some European countries为插入语,表示地点,to prepare the copy and the general details of the campaign for any important book为不定式结构表目的。该句中的publisher同样指“出版商”。
    (4)【答案】很少有作者认为他们写的书得到了充分宣传,大多数出版商也怀疑究竟靠报纸广告是否真能促进图书销售。不过,相对于年销售图书总收入,花在广告促销上的数额,要比大多数其他商品高得多,新书很少低于5%。
    【解析】该句中press advertising“新闻宣传”,此处特指在报纸上进行广告宣传。in relation to意为“涉及,与…有关”。
    (5)【答案】随着出版社规模增大,效益提高,在图书营销的整个领域,已经出现了明显倾向,把普通商业中使用的更商业性的手段用到了图书推销上。正如推销许许多多其他商品一样,正使用同样的促销手段,把图书疯狂地向零售商和大众推销。
    【解析】该篇文章一直在讲述图书销售,因此此处的sales promotion应将该层意思翻译出来,即“图书营销”。

    Interview
    The importance and focus of the interview in the work of the print and broadcast journalist are
    reflected in several books that have been written on the topic .Most of these books,as well as several chapters,mainly in,but not limited to,journalism and broadcasting handbooks and reporting
    texts,stress the"how to"aspects of journalistic interviewing rather than the conceptual aspects of the interview,its context,and,implications.Much of the"how to"material is based on personal experiences and general impressions.As we know,in journalism as in other fields,much can be learned from the systematic study of professional practice.Such study brings together evidence from which broad generalized principles can be developed.
    There is,as has been suggested,a growing body of research literature in journalism and
    broadcasting,but very little significant attention has been devoted to the study of the interview itself. On the other hand,many general texts as well as numerous research articles on interviewing
    in fields other than journalism have been written.Many of these books and articles present the
    theoretical and empirical aspects of the interview as well as the training of the interviewers.Unhappily,this plentiful general literature about interviewing pays little attention to the journalistic
    interview seems to be surprising for two reasons.First,it seems likely that most people in modern Western societies are more familiar,at least in a positive manner,with journalistic interviewing than with any other form of interviewing. Most of us are probably somewhat familiar with the clinical interview,such as that conducted by physicians and psychologists.In these situations the professional person or interviewer is interested in getting information necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of the person seeking help.Another familiar situation is the job interview.However, very few of us have actually been interviewed personally by the mass media,particularly by television.And yet,we have a vivid acquaintance with the journalistic interview by virtue of our roles as readers,listeners,and viewers.Even so,true understanding of the journalistic interview,especially television interview,requires thoughtful analysis and even study,as this book indicates.

    Westerners are familiar with the journalistic interview,but most of them may not have been interviewed in person.

For the really cheap second-hand volumes,the collector must venture off the beaten track,to Farringdon Road,for example,in the East Central district of London.Here there is nothing so grandiose as bookshops.Instead,the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on the small barrows(流动集售货车)which line the gutters(街沟).And the collectors,some professional and some amateur, who have been waiting for them,pounce(一把抓住)upon the dusty cascaded(一叠叠图书).In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.

    If you want to buy really cheap second-hand books,you must________.
    A:venture in a most busy street
    B:venture away from a busy street
    C:take the risk of being beaten off the street
    D:take the risk of wasting time to hunt them in less noticeable street

    答案:D
    解析:
    这一句的含义是伦敦人喜爱读书。相比较而言,选项D符合题意,因此, D为正确答案。
    查英街是因为书店众多而闻名。这一点在文章第二段明确表达。因此,正确答案为B
    在文章第二段作者谈到要买便宜书就要打破常规到小摊上买。选项D与题意相符,因此,答案为D。
    选项A不对,是因为文章中明确指出弗登街没有像样的书店。选项B不对是因为文章中指出卖主用流动售货车卖书,而不是小书店。D项与文章内容完全相反。因此,选项C为答案。
    文章虽然谈到书店,但重点是放在教读者如何购书,因此,选项D与文章大意相符。

  • 第17题:

    I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other. The painful reality is that love is just not enough. I"ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I"ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water. Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships. As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier—our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly ().
