第2题：
根据下列文章，回答36～40题。The most thoroughly studied intellectuals in the history of the New World are the ministers and political leaders of seventeenthcentury New England. According to the standard history of American philosophy, nowhere else in colonial America was “so much important attached to intellectual pursuits.” According to many books and articles, New England’s leaders established the basic themes and preoccupations of an unfolding, dominant Puritan tradition in American intellectual life.
To take this approach to the New Englanders normally mean to start with the Puritans’ theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church—important subjects that we may not neglect. But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carriers of European culture adjusting to New World circumstances. The New England colonies were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely understood ideals of civility and virtuosity.
The early settlers of Massachusetts Bay included men of impressive education and influence in England. Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachusetts church in the decade after 1629, there were political leaders like John Winthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the Crown before he journeyed to Boston. There men wrote and published extensively, reaching both New World and Old World audiences, and giving New England an atmosphere of intellectual earnestness.
We should not forget, however, that most New Englanders were less well educated. While few craftsmen or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized. Their thinking often had a traditional superstitions quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. Sexual confusion, economic frustrations , and religious hope—all name together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: “come out from among them, touch no unclean thing , and I will be your God and you shall be my people.” One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churches.
Meanwhile , many settlers had slighter religious commitments than Dane’s, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mocked that they had not come to the New world for religion . “Our main end was to catch fish. ”

第6题：
He was obsessed with American horror movies.A: kept thinking about

Old Man Myths and Realities
1.When does a middle-aged man become an old man?Officially,of course,it is when we reach retirement age. But, as we all know, this is a fairly blunt（生硬的）method of decision making. As life expectancy（寿命）increases,retirement planning needs to be changed. This is because being an old man today is very different from what it was a generation or so ago.
2.Sixty-five is the new middle-aged man. These days people are talking about the young-old, that is ages 70-75,and those over 75 as the old-old. The young-old frequently continue in good health and maintain strong links with friends and family.The old-old have a much higher chance of poor health and social isolation.
3.Although men are living longer,there are still more old women than old men.This fact alone should arouse interest as to why. Relatively little is actually known about why this is the case or about the experiences of the old man.Sure,we are aware that the old man experiences anxiety,financial problems,loneliness,etc.,but that is really about all we know.
4.It is usually believed that the old man often complains about their health.In fact,most old man think their health is good even though most are diagnosed with at least one chronic illness.The physical health of the old man is strongly affected by their health behavior when they were younger.Paragraph 4______
A:New Definitions of the Old Man
B:Changing Concept of the Old Man
C:Health of the Old Man
D:Happy Old Man and Sad Old Man
E:Limited Knowledge of the Old Man's Experiences
F: Contempt for the Old Man答案：C解析：文章第一段主要讲的是，随着预期寿命的增加，“老年人”的概念与以往相比已经发生了很大的变化。
文章第二段主要讲对“老年人”的概念重新进行了界定。
文章第三段主要讲的是，尽管人的寿命较之过去延长了，而且我们也知道老年人会面临焦虑、孤独，以及经济问题等，但相对而言，我们对老年人的经历还是知之甚少。
文章第四段主要讲老年人的健康问题。
从文章的头两段可以得知，现在的人通常比过去更长寿。
文章第二段的头一句讲到，现如今65岁的人仍被视为中年人。
文章第三段讲人们对老年人的经历仍知之甚少，因此可以说这方面的研究还有待加强。
文章第四段中的第二句说，尽管大多数老人至少患有一种慢性病，但多数老人仍旧认为自己的健康状况良好。 -

正确答案： A解析：
细节题。第二段第二句指出“It is a culture bombarded by English, in advertising, pop music, the Internet, and despite all the English that Danish absorbs-there is no Danish Academy to defend against it.”，此处bombarded形容“丹麦文化中充斥着英国元素”，由此可知丹麦文化深受英国影响。因此选项C符合题意。 -

正确答案： C解析：
推断题。第一段叙述了一个新的产品所经历的四个阶段，即引进——发展——成熟——衰退，不同阶段要有不同的营销策略。这说明一种新的产品要想被人接受、认可，要经历若干年的时间，其道路不是一帆风顺的。A项符合文意，故选A。 -
第13题：
From the third paragraph, we may infer that_____.
［A］ traditional cultural heritage is worthy of preservation
［B］ the universal features shared by all cultures aren’t worthy of notice
［C］ musicians pay more attention to the preservation of traditional music
［D］ the more developed a culture, the more valuable the music it has fostered
正确答案：A本题考查推理引申。第三段第二句提到，我们（we）越来越关注民乐中的传统和民族特色，并且在对待许多传统文化遗产时愿意将民乐保存下来。第三句以音乐家记录自己国家的古典音乐为例说明上文。该句中we包括了作者本人，因此可推知［A］是作者所赞同的观点。［C］错在more，因为文中并没有将音乐家对待传统音乐和现代音乐的态度作对比。该段末句提到，人们（people）总是渴望保留个性特色，而不是找到所有文化共有的普遍特点。可见，文中只是客观叙述人们对文化的偏好，没有贬低“文化共有的普遍特点”的价值。排除［B］。该段首句提到，音乐根植于孕育了它的文化之中。这说明文化决定音乐的特色，与“发达”或“价值”没有关联，排除［D］。
