They both marry a man named George on a June day in the same year at the same time. They both have two sons born at the same time. They have the same illnesses and the
4、same accidents. And so on. This is repeated over and over. They dont know about each other, dont know they are twins. In fact, when twins are raised together this pattern is less likely to occur.” Drew felt at a loss. “There must be some reason. I mean, it isnt just Carol and Karen. Its also the Geo
5、rges and the people driving the other cars involved with their accidents. Or not clearing snow off their sidewalks, whatever the accidents are. In fact, its like an infinite regression of what it is. You know, the what if I hadnt been on that corner at the time you came out, wed never have met. And
6、so on, back through their entire lives.” 1. The best meaning for the word “anomalies” as it is used in this context is _. A. irregularities B. discoveries C. illnesses D. accidents 2.

9、ates that when twins are raised together they are more likely to _.

10、rities意思相近。 2.C 前文提到了两个分开长大，但是行为相同的双胞胎的例子，这 也正是pattern的内容。 3.B Drew认为这种现象是许多“what if”的无限回归，因此regression 指backward movement。 4.B 由第一段可知，这对双胞胎是Carol and Karen。 5.D 第一段最后一句提到“when twins are raised together this pattern is less likely to occur”，由此可见一起长大的双胞胎会遵循不同的模式。 Passage 2 When American Movie Classic
11、s first appeared on cable television networks in late 1984, people scoffed at the idea. A channel showing old black-and-white movies, around the clock, wont last long, cable programmers predicted. AMC has proved them very wrong. Its audience for films of the 1930s, 40s and 50s is not only substantia
12、l but unusually dedicated, with cable- system operators consistently identifying AMC as one of their viewers favorite channels. So successful is AMC that now a serious competitor for that film-loving audience has risen. The rival, Turner Classic Movies, which began almost a year ago, has by all acco

This month alone, in a salute to the Academy Awards, TCM is showing nothing but movies with Oscar winners or Oscar nominees, 24 hours a day, all month 325 films in all. But TCM also has a major problem: it beams into only 3 million homes nationwide, mainly

The question is whether their roles will reverse, once TCM becomes more widely available, because of the difference in how they acquire their
15、movies. AMC owns none of the films it shows, while Turner owns more than 3,300. Adding movies available to each channel through licensing agreements with the studios that own the films, and, in the course of a year, Turner programmers have access to between 4,500 and 5,000 movies, while AMC programm
16、ers can choose from 1,000 at most. Many on AMC are repeated, often on the same day. Still, most of AMCs licensing agreements run to the year 2008, and its executive vice president and general manager, Kate McEnroe, says there are enough movies available now “for several networks.” She also argues that quality, not quantity, is the issue. “We cherry-pick the best from all the studios,” she said. 6.
