Passage Two
When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else is not so clear. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become near sighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant (远处的) things clearly'.
People who are nearsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out
of the other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background (背景) and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.
40. We should take good care of our eyes ______.
A. only when we cannot see perfectly
B. only when we can see well
C. even if we can see well
D. only when we realize how important our eyes are
正确答案：C40．答案为C 此考题为推理题。根据作者在第1段第2句所表达的，等到我们两眼视力下降了我们才认识到眼睛的重要性，我们就可断定C正确。

第12题：
问答题题目要求: In this part of the test, you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the two below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.Practice 1 A: What is important when...? Attending an interview ●Punctuality ●Manner ●Appearance B: What is important when...? Working in a team ●Having a team leader ●Deciding people’s responsibilities ●Sharing information正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
When attending an interview, it’s a merit that we show up on time. For an interview due to start at nine thirty in the morning, the candidate is expected to arrive five minutes earlier. To be better prepared for the interview, if possible, he’d better pay a visit to the interview site in advance. By doing this, he will be able to figure out the shortest route and the approximate time to get there.
In addition, remember that the interviewer is observing you even before your entrance into the room. Therefore, don’t forget to knock at the door first, no matter whether it’s shut or open. Furthermore, eye contact is necessary. Look straight into the interviewer’s eyes with politeness and self-confidence. At the meanwhile, greet him with a smile
Furthermore, a person who is particular about his appearance is always welcome everywhere. With your hair neatly cut your beard nicely shaved and your face cleanly washed, you are more likely to leave a good first impression. At the same time, arm yourself with a starched shirt, an ironed suit and a pair of polished shoes. By doing that, you’re definitely a pleasant guy in the eyes of both male and female interviewers.
If you choose B:
When working in a team, first of all, a team leader is essential for the team. With the lead of a good team leader, the team can fulfill the tasks smoothly. Without a team leader, there will be no definite direction and employees may not know what to do and how to do the work in co-operation with each other.
Secondly, it is important that every employee knows his/her responsibility. When clear-cut assignment of responsibility, employees can concentrate on their tasks and work more efficiently. As a result, the company’s objective can be eventually achieved.
Thirdly, as a member of the team, every employee is entitled to know any information within the group. Therefore, information should be shared, and by doing this a lot of time and energy can be saved, which may otherwise be used to do much more work.解析： 暂无解析 -
第13题：
In business, people have to deal in person__________ all kinds of people. You may have to use English when talking to different people within your company who don't speak your language; these may be colleagues or co-workers, superiors or subordinates-who may work with you in your own department, in another part of the building or in another branch. And you may also have to deal in English with people from__________ the organization: clients, suppliers, visitors and members of the public. Moreover, these people may be friends, acquaintances or strangers-people of your own age, or people who are__________ or older than you. The relationship you have with a person determines the kind of language you use. This relationship may even affect what you say when you meet people: for example, it's not__________ to say “Hi, how are you!” when meeting the Managing Director of a large company or to say “Good morning, it's a great pleasure to meet you” when being introduced to a person you'll be working closely with in the same team. Remember that people form. an impression of you from the way you speak and behave-not just from the__________ you do your work. People in different countries have different ideas of what sounds friendly, polite or sincere-and of what sounds rude or unfriendly! Good manners in your culture may be considered bad manners in another. Remember also that your body language, gestures and expression may tell people more about you than the words you use.

When We Are Asleep
Everyone dreams,but some people never recall their dreams,or do so very rarely.
Other people always wake up with vivid recollections（记忆）of their dreams, though they
forget them very quickly.In an average night of eight hours' sleep,an average adult will
dream for around one hundred minutes,probably having three to five dreams,each lasting
from ten to thirty minutes.
Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which
measures the electrical waves in the brain.During dreaming,these waves move more
quickly.Breathing and pulse rate also increase,and there are rapid eye movements under
the lids，just as though the dreamer were really looking at moving objects.These signs of
dreaming have been detected in all mammals（哺乳动物）studied, including dogs,
monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles（爬行动物）.This period
of sleep is called the"D"state.Babies experience the"D"state for around 50%of their
sleep;the period reduces to around 25%by the age of 10.
Dreams take the form of stories,but they may be strange and with incidents not
connected,which make little sense.Dreams are seldom without people in them and they
are usually about people we know.One estimate says that two-thirds of the"cast"of our
dream dramas are friends and relations.Vision seems an essential part of dreams,except
for people blind from birth.Sound and touch are senses also often aroused,but smell and
taste are not frequently involved.In"normal"dreams,the dreamer may be taking part,or
be only an observer. But he or she cannot control what happens in the dream.
However,the dreamer does have control over one type of dream.This type of dream is
called a "lucid"（清醒的）dream. Not everyone is a lucid dreamer. Some people are
occasional lucid dreamers.Others can dream lucidly more or less all the time.In a lucid
dream,the dreamer knows that he is dreaming.In a lucid dream we can use Morse code to communicate with others.

People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away，but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading，they must get glasses，too.

Intelligent Machines
1 Medical scientists are already putting computer chips（芯片）directly into the brain to help people
who have Parkinson's disease,but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us?Ray
Kurzweil is the author of the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines and is one of the world's best
computer research scientists.He is researching the possibilities.
2 Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices.An example of this is Ramona, the virtual（虚拟的）
hostess of Kurzweil's homepage,who is programmed to understand what you say.Visitors to the site can have
their conversations with her,and Ramona also dances and sings.
3 Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities.One of his ideas is a"seeing
machine".This will be"like a friend that could describe what is going on in the visible world,"he explains.
Blind people will use a visual sensor（探测器）which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses.This
sensor will describe to the person everything it sees.
4 Another idea,which is likely to help deaf people,is the"listening machine".This invention will
recognize millions of words and understand any speaker.The listening machine will also be able to translate
other languages,so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it.
5 But it is not just about helping people with disabilities.Looking further into the future,Kurzweil sees
a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness into a computer.This technology probably
won't be ready for at least 50 years,but when it arrives,it means our minds will be able to live forever.Blind people will be able to see the world with_________.
A:what you say
B:a pair of sunglasses
C:the listening machine
D:a visual sensor
E:who have disabilities
F:living forever in a computer答案：B解析：短文第二段所举的例子说“她经设置可以理解你所说的话。网站的访问者可以和她谈 话，Ramona也会跳舞、唱歌”。因此“能够交流的计算机”这一标题概括了本段大意。
短文第三段主要阐述的是视觉机器，如“这机器像一个朋友一样，能够描述有形世界里 正在发生的事情……该传感器将向佩戴者描述它看到的一切”。因此F项内容概括了本段 大意。
短文第四段主要阐述的是听觉机器，因此A项内容概括了本段大意。
短文第五段主要谈到“我们将能把所有意识下载到电脑里……这意味着我们的头脑能 够永远活下去”。因此C项内容概括了本段大意。
短文第三段和第四段分别提到“Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities”和“Another idea ,which is likely to help deaf people"。因此E项内容符合文章大意。
短文第二段提到“who is programmed to understand what you say"。因此A项内容“你所 说的话”符合文章大意。
短文第三段提到“Blind people will use a visual sensor which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses"。因此B项内容符合文章大意。
短文第四段提到“The listening machine will also be able to translate other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it"。因此C项内容符合文 章大意。第4部分：阅读理解第一篇 短文讲的是英国单人帆船手Ellen MacArthur是如何取得成功的。 -

单选题How can we remember things more easily according to the woman?ABy connecting them with a physical object.
BBy looking at them very carefully first.
CBy having people remind US of them.
正确答案： B解析：
对话中女士提到如果你想记住某件事，think of a physical thing that reminds you of，她还举例说明：如果想记住黑斯廷斯战争（the Battle of Hastings）发生的时间1066年，可以联想一个标有1066标签的瓶子（bottle）。
【录音原文】
M: Today on mind matters, I’m talking to Dr Ann Winters, an expert on human memory. Ann, welcome to the program. Now, I suppose the first question everyone would ask is: what exactly is human memory?
W: Well, like so many easy questions, the answer isn’t very simple. Basically, human memory is a compartment in people’s brains where they store images rather like the hard disc drive in a computer. And like a hard disc drive, our memories can become infected or even wiped out by accidents. But the comparison breaks down when we consider that we can train our memories to expand and work better which computers can’t manage yet.
M: When you talk about memory being infected, do you mean by a disease?
W: Yes. For instance, people suffering from a physiological disease like Alzheimer: forget things that happened in the past. And they also forget how to perform simple tasks like tying their shoelaces. The good news is that brain exercises can help keep the brain young. Research has shown that people who have better educations and more mentally active jobs have a lower risk of developing the disease.
M: And how can someone exercise his brain? By thinking a lot?
W: In a way, yes. But you can also practice using your memory which not only exercises your brain but also improves you ability to remember things. Unfortunately, a lot of devices in modern life are designed to make sure we don’t t forget things which can make our brains more idle and weaken our memories.
M: Can you give us some examples of how to exercise our memories?
W: Sure, there is a very simple technique, although it works better for some people than for others. When you want to remember something, think of a physical thing it reminds you of. If I want to remember a date from history, let’s say, 1066, the date of the Battle of Hastings. I might think that battle reminds me of bottle, so I think of a bottle with the number 1066 written on the label. And I just picture that bottle to myself.
