第4题：
A
Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.
A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.
36. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.
A. the government is usually the first to name a place
B. many places tend to have more than one name
C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named
D. people prefer the place names given by the government

第5题：
资料：In a survey,people were asked to choose between treatments to save 600 people from dying a disease.
Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a risky choice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.
In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.
In both examples,the first choices have an identical outcome as do their second alternatives.But faced with such a grave choice people did not spot the similarities. In the first example people opted to save 200 people over the gamble of losing people and in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.
What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.
In the second example，more people choose the option（ ）？A.with a one-third probability that nobody will die
B.with a two-thirds probability that nobody will be saved
C.allowing 400 people to die
D.that 200 people will be saved答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】second example；more people choose the option
【主题句】in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.在第二个例子中，人们更倾向于冒险，而不是杀死400人的特定结果。
【解析】本题的问题是“在第二个例子中，人们更倾向于哪个选择？”。根据原文可知，选项B以及选项D为第二个例子中的措辞，故排除B、D。（In a second example，the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.）结合主题句，“in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.在第二个例子中，人们更倾向于冒险，而不是杀死400人的特定结果。”故选A。 -

1 The concept of traffic-free shopping areas goes back a long time.During the Middle Ages,traffic-
free shopping areas were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop iii comfort and,more im-
portantly,safety.As far back as 2,000 years ago,road traffic was banned from central Rome during the day
to allow for the free movement of pedestrians（行人）,and was only allowed inl at night when shops and mar-
kets had closed for the day.In most other cities,however,pedestrians were forced to share the streets with
horses,coaches and,later,with cars and other motorised vehicles.
2 The modern,traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the l960s,when both city popula-
tions and car ownership increased rapidly.Dirty gases from cars and the risks involved,in crossing the road
were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experience.Many believed the time was right
for experimenting with car-free streets,and shopping areas seemed the best place to start.
3 At first,there was resistance from shopkeepers.They believed that such a move would be bad for
business.They argued that people would avoid streets if they were unable to get to them in their cars.When
the first streets in Europe were closed to traffic,there were even noisy demonstrations,as many shopkeepers
predicted they would.lose customers.
4 However,research carried out afterwards in several European cities revealed some unexpected statistics.
In Munich,Cologne and Hamburg,visitors to shopping areas increased by 50 percent.On Copenhagen's
main shopping street,shopkeepers reported sales increases of 25-40 percent.Shopkeepers in Minneapolis,
the USA,were so impressed when they learnt this that they even offered to pay for the construction and
maintenance costs of their own traffic-free streets.
5 With the arrival of the traffic-free shopping street,many shops,especially those selling things like
clothes,food and smaller luxury items,prospered.Unfortunately,it isn't good news for everyone,as shops
selling furniture and larger electrical appliances,etc.actually saw their sales drop.Many of these were forced
to move elsewhere,away from the city centre.The arrival of the traffic一free shopping street made many__________lose their business.
A:furniture sellers
B:a bad experience
C:Middle Eastern countries
D:customers
E:North America
F:pedestrians答案：A解析：由文章第一段前两句话可知，关于步行街（traffic-free shopping areas）这一购物场所的观中“…… pageants that included music, poetry, and dance.”可知pageants包括音乐，诗歌和舞蹈表 演。故选D。念可以追溯到很早以前。在中世纪时期，为了让人们在舒适并且更加安全的场所购物，中东地区就出现了这样的步行街。故选F。

第三篇
No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world,but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom,about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people.As we get older,many of us will become less mobile,hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and happen at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on,the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine what would you do if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains?What would you do if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?But there are other barriers:prejudice（偏见）can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully understand what the disabled go through,so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability,not their disability,which counts.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A:There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.
B:The whole society should pay more attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.
C:Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.
D:Disabled people are facing two barriers:physical barriers and prejudice.答案：D解析：第一段第一句是该段的主题句。" No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world , but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million.”说明残疾人数量很多。
第四段第一句和第四句是该段主题句。" Disabled people face many physical barriers."',But there are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all.”该段从实际困难和精神歧视两方面说明残疾人面临的障碍。
文章最后一句："...it is the individual person and their ability, not their disa-bility ,which counts.”大意是“······真正重要的是残疾人的独立人格及其能力，而不是其身体上的残疾。”
选项A、C都出现在第二段中。B是文章所呼吁的。文章最后一段说 "prejudice（偏见）can be even harder to break down and ignorance represents by far the greatest barrier of all"。残疾人所面临的障碍除了身体残疾外，还有人们的偏见和被人们忽视。所以选项D与原文不相符。
主旨题。文章首先叙述残疾人之多和各种残疾，进而从身体和精神两方面阐述残疾人面临的障碍，并指出精神方面的障碍是最难被打破的。因此，可以推论出作者告诫我们应该正确对待残疾人。 -
