4、 human race, that tedious documentation of violence, hastaught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem butmakes it more acute.

Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom.【 参考译文】知识是智慧的必要的先决条件。结合上下文这里意思是：了解情况是解决问题的先决条件。句子后面的解释：知识是指了解它欲以解决暴力制造的恶行。写作方法与文章大意作者主要以对正的手法写出了暴力是有些国家用以解决种族差异的公认方法， 这是人本性没有进步的表现， 真正理智的人提出了法制才是解决问题的唯一途径, 而这些人遭人轻视、迫害。作者指出如果我

18、们把使用暴力的一半精力放在消除贫民窟，改善生活水平，提供教育和就业， 清除暴力造成的后果，也就是通过对它以法治理是能真正解决种族问题的。尽管这些暴力者采取充耳不闻的态度。答案详解1. B 暴力难以消除种族偏见。文章一开始就提出有些国家种族偏见严重，而暴力却是公认的一种解决方法。白人采用暴力镇压，黑人以防火、掠抢为反抗。而双方的大人物平静地论及暴力，似乎这是一种合法的解决方案。作者就此指出人类的进步只在于表面一一衣饰等，人类的本能没有改变。整个有记录历史的文件没有教会人类任何东西。这是真正令人可怕的事件。第二段论及真正有理智的懂得解决方案所在的人鼓吹法制，人们不停。他们反而收到轻视、迫害。作者就

19、此提出假设，答出真正的解决方案嗜法制，以法治理。第三段进一步说明“ 交流、对话”是了解双方问题的前提，即使暴力者不同意，但知道暴力制造它假装要解决的罪恶，是智慧聪明的必要前提。A.鼓吹暴力。C.双方重要人物都把暴力作为合法的解决方案。D .人类的本性是嗜暴性。2. B 没有什么。第一段中就明确提出整个人类有记录历史又长又臭的暴力文件记录，一点都没有教给我们任何东西。A. 暴力解决不了任何事情。C.杀 戮 （ 流血）没有任何意义。D.一切。3. D 在鼓吹法制方面有困难。答案在第二段，真正有理智的人鼓吹法制，遭到同类们的轻视、不信任和迫害。他们发现要人倾听他们的意见越来越困难。A.人们不听。B.

20、遭人轻视。C. 遭人迫害。这三项都包含在D 项内。4. C 听后无所得。 None the wiser 一点也不比以前聪明( 这是按字面翻译) 。 实际就是C 项。A.在倾听别人上他一点也不聪明。B.他和以前一个样。D.他听不懂论点。5. A 法制。第二段最后一句，如果我们在法律的构架中进行工作，真正的持久的解决总是能实现的。第二段第二句，他们遭到迫害是因为他们鼓吹法制这种显然令人不能容忍的事。B.出识。C.非暴力。D.处理暴力带来的混乱。Passage Two (The Tourist Trade Contributes Absolutely Nothing to Increasing Un

Wild generalizations stir up racial hatred and blind us to the basic fact.【 参考译文】野 蛮 （ 乱七八糟）的概括/ 归纳会激起种族仇恨，使我们对这基本事实视而不见。写作方法与文章大意文章主要采用因果写法。 虽然旅游业发展， 人们可享受以前只有最富有者享受的大旅游,但由于旅行社种种限制/呵护及其它，使旅游者难以和当地居民接触。陈旧的固定的想一一对民族的模式化想法，只有通过接触才能接触模式。而旅行社的种种都使人相互难以理解。答案

40、详解1. A 旅游对增进民族了解毫无建树。第二段开始点出，许多旅游组织直接负责旅游事宜，他们有意识不让旅游者接触当地居民，让他们过着一种关怀备至又与世隔绝的生活。住的是国际饭店，吃的是国际食品，喝的是国际饮料，在原处观看当地居民。严格有序的计划使旅游者难以自己一人闲逛，语言的障碍，又使他们乐意接受保护。第三段涉及坚持民族模式化一一老一套的想法，所以一开始旅游，你见到的民族特性就只是证实了你自己设想的基本事实一一所有人民都是人类。只有交朋友才能知道民族模式是多么荒谬、有害，可是旅行社竭力制止，你又怎么能交上外国朋友呢？这一切说明A 项对。B.旅游很累。C.导游观光很单调乏味。D.旅游确实对国家有

41、贡献。2. C 批评。3. B 吵吵闹闹的。4. B 旅游的方式应改变。整篇文章（ 除第一段外）都环绕旅游方式不理想来进行批评。第二段集中在导游观光使旅游者难以和当地人民接触。第三段，见到的只是证实了旅游者本人事先形成的思想/先入之见， 旅游根本达不到了解对方的目的。 第四段讲了民族固定模 式 （ 先入之见的模式）的可怕后果。要使人懂得所有的人们都是人类，彼此相似，又各具特点，就得改变旅游的方式。A.导游观光令人失望。C.旅游时，你见到的特性证实了你的先入之见。D.民族模式应当改变。这三条都是批评的具体内容。5. D 人人都能享受大旅游。 大旅行是专指英国富家子弟上学中的一门课程一到欧洲大陆观

42、光。不是人人都能享受。这里用I grand tour表示人人都能享受类似grand tour的一切， 泱至超过，如第一段指出：现代旅游者享受的舒适设施，达到了大旅行中老爷、小姐们做梦都没有想到的水平。海陆空高级交流联络通讯系统，使人们有可能钱花得不多就能访问、观光别的国家。所以说，曾是有钱人专享的大旅行，普通人也能领略。“grand tour”有引号，表明作为比喻。A.费用不高。文内是费用合适、中等、恰当。B.当地观光受组织审查。C.人们喜欢一流舒适设施。Passage Three （ Pop Stars Earn Much）Pop stars today enjoy a style of l

The crowds go wild trying tocatch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colorfully dressed idols. The stars are transported in theirchauffeur driven Rolls-Royces, private helicopters

44、or executive aeroplanes. They are surroundedby a permanent entourage of managers, press agents and bodyguards.

The competition for the title Top of the Pops is fierce, but the rewardsare truly colossal.It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way.

49、r. So who wouldbegrudge them their rewards?Its all very well for people in humdrum jobs to moan about the successes and rewards ofothers.

50、rs struggling to earn aliving. A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no rightto expect very high rewards.

58、ver did.【 参考译文】今天单张录音唱片挣的版税要比过去一步电影还要多得多。写作方法与文章大意作者以对比、因果写作手法，写出歌星享受者贵族般生活方式，出门受千万人群欢迎,出入高级车、机，身后保镖、经纪人、新闻记者，来去都有报道，这一切是社会对高级演员的慷慨赠予。公司的高级人员享受高薪，歌星也应享受。再则顶尖歌星冒有很大风险。答案详解1. B 他们享受一度只属于贵族享用的一切。第一段集中谈了这些：他们走到哪里，成千上万人们出来欢迎，却中发疯地要看一眼穿着花哨的偶像的笑容。这些歌星坐着司机开动的 Rolls-Royces汽车、私人直升飞机，高级长官飞机到处走，永远围着一批经纪人、报界记者和保

59、镖随从人员。 他们的照片定期登在报刊上， 因为歌星象贵族一样是新闻人物。A.他们的生活和贵族一样奢侈。 C.他们很富。 D.他们的生活方式和贵族生活方式一个样。2. A 赞成。 在第一段最后一句： “ 他们为他们的牺牲所获取的报酬难以计算， 支付率惊人。 ”第二段一开始就点明“ 为什么不惊人？社会对高级表演者总是慷慨解囊。好莱坞的鼎盛时期名扬天下，著名歌星先手空前绝后的名、利、奉承。 ”第三段更明确指出：应该这样支付星族，这完全正确。企业中的顶尖人物因为他们为公司和国家所作的一切不也挣得高额工资？税务员应感谢他们每年为国库做出了巨大的贡献。所以谁会忌妒他们的报酬呢？最后一段进一步说明：欲成为星

60、族的人冒着很大的风险，谁都知道只有一小撮人能成为顶尖人物，也可能多年的努力以彻底失败而告终，而成功的报酬确实很高，这是对他们冒险的补偿。这些内容都说明作者赞成巨额报酬。A.不同意。C.讽刺的。D.批评的。3. A 在攀登顶峰中存在着激烈的竞争。 这在第三段最后一句明确指出：获取顶尖的流行歌星的称号竞争激烈，但其报酬确实惊人。最后一段的风险说。还有最后一段第二句：说忌妒话的人应记住：最有名的星族代表的只是冰山之巅一一人极少。每个成名的歌星身后就有成千上百个其他歌者为生存而奋斗。这都说明“ 竞争激烈” 。B.人们盲目崇拜偶像歌星。C.成功的流行歌星演出给人极大的享受。D.他们支付的税收巨大。4.

61、D 成功者只是冰山的顶尖一一少极了。A.成功的人应当获得高收入。B.流行歌星对国家做出巨大贡献。C.流行歌星能享受贵族生活。5. D 第四段。主旨句是倒数第一、二句，成功的报酬确实很高，这是对其高度风险的还报补偿，如果他成功了，他肯定挣得多。那就是私人事业的根本/ 本质。A.第一段。这段之对比了贵族和歌星的生活方式。B.第二段。这段讲了挣得多，但竞争激烈。C.第三段。歌星和企业顶尖人物对比。Passage Four (Examinations Exert a Pernicious Influence on Education)We might marvel at the progress ma

62、de in every field of study, but the methods of testing apersons knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It really is extraordinarythat after all these years, educationists have still failed to device anything more efficient andreliable than examinations. For all the pious claim

63、that examinations text what you know, it iscommon knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means oftesting memory, or the knack of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell younothing about a persons true ability and aptitude.As anxiety-makers, examina

It doesnt matter that you werent feeling very well, or that your mother died.Little things like that dont count: the exam goes

65、 on. No one can give of his best when he is inmortal terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expectshim to do.

Can we be surprised at the suicide rate among students?A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. Theexamination system does an

67、ything but that. What has to be learnt is rigidly laid down by asyllabus, so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student toread widely, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge,but induce cramming. They lower the standards

68、of teaching, for they deprive the teacher of allfreedoms. Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results and instead of teachingtheir subjects, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise.The most successful candidates are not always the best educat

78、类写作的文章。 罗列了考试种种恶果。 作者首先指出考试难以测定人的真正能力和水平， 反而是适得其反。 二是考试是忧虑的制造者， 因为它决定了人的成败命运。三是考试促使学校进行应试技巧教育，否定了教会人独立思考、扩大视野。四是教师或者说测试人又累又饿， 犯错误， 还得在限定时间披阅成堆的试卷， 他们的压力和考试者一样很大，而他们的话一一分数有份量，审判官的裁决，你有权上诉，而他们的裁决- - - - -笔定终身。最后引用“ 辍学者成为百万富翁”来点明测试这种形式对教育的坏影响。答案详解L A 考试对教育具有有害的影响。文章第一段就点明：考试是测试记忆的好方法，是测试在巨大压力下快速工作的技巧的好

79、方法，却测不出一个人的真正能力和水平。第三段集中指出：考试不是促进学生广泛阅读，反而限制其阅读；考试不能使学生追求更多的知识，而是诱导学生进行应付考试的突击式学习。他们降低了教学水平，因为他们剥夺了老师的一切自由。常常以考试结果而不是所教课程来评定老师，是他们不得不以他们所轻视的考试技巧来培训学生。第二段和第四段也涉及其后果。B.考试无效。这是考试后果的一个方面。C.考试对教育机构有利。这也是一个方面。D.考试对学生是一种负担。2. C 批评的。第一段中作者明确指出，考试方法依旧，不能测出人的能力和水平。第二段点名，这种无用的考试决定人生的成败。第三段说考试最成功的考试者经常不是最佳的受教育者

80、，他们是在胁迫下最佳获得考试技巧者，而好的教育应能培养人的独立思考二第四段涉及阅卷者又累又饿，常犯错误，不得不在限定时间披阅一大堆匆忙中七扭八歪写出的卷子。 最后一句 我过去是一个是来岁的辍学者， 现在我是一个年轻的百万富翁”画龙点睛地指出，考试指挥下的教育的失败。这一切都说明作者对考试的批评态度。A.嫌恶，厌恶。此答案从意义上说是对的。但语法不通，因为这是个东西，而 is后要求是名词或形容词。B.赞成。D.漠不关心的。3. C 考试。答案在第二段，考试是最终忧虑制造者，那是因为许多事情取决于考试：它们是我们社会中成功或失败的标志。你的未来可能全取决于这决定性的一天。A.教育。B.教育机构。D

81、.学生自己。4. B 培养学生进行独立思考。第三段第一句话点明：好的教育应该是培养学生自己独立思考。A.鼓励学生广泛阅读。教学生如何应考。C.教学生如何应考。D.掌握自己命运。5. B 作对比，答案在最后一段倒数第二句“ 审判官裁决后，你有权力上诉，而披阅考卷人给分后，学生可没有上诉权”后面又谈及“ 一想到考试只对进行考试的机构有礼，未免太自私了。这酒是最终分析归纳的东西。 ”所以作者呼吁，可定还有许多更简便，更有效的评估人真正能力的方法。A.给出一个例子。C.表示老师是由考试结果评定好坏。这是第三段讲的不分内容，教师他们自己常由考试结果而不是所教课程优劣来评定。所以他们不得不对学生进行应试技

82、巧教育，降低教学水平。D.表明审判官裁决更有效。Passage Five （ Killing in the Name of God Ugandan DeathsSpotlight Rise of Cults）How could faith beget such evil?

A 许多人由于要归还他们的财产而遭到杀害。答案见第二段倒数第二句， 这一对邪教领袖曾预言世界将于1999年 12月 3 1 日借宿一一世界末日来临。结果并没有发生，追随者就要求归还他们在入教时献上的一切，而遭到有计划有步骤地杀害。B .他们发现邪教头目欺骗他们。这只是起因之一，如果发现后不吭声也许不会

In the end, all political ideologies boil down to the same thing: class divisions persist whetheryou are ruled by a feudal king or an educated person.【 参考译文】最终，一切政治意识，都归结为一件事：不论你是由封建国王统治还是英才统治，阶级区分依然存在。写作方法与文章大意这是一篇对 无阶级社会和人人平等”论点的驳斥文章。作者从四个方面进行论述。1、天赋的才能和智慧与平等原则无关。2、 适者生存

124、，强权即公理”依然存在。3、人获得的报酬是取决于人的才能而不是平等。4、金钱的作用，它不仅可以培育有能力的人，还是政治的后盾。只有金钱加能力是成功的关键。所以所谓平等不存在，更没有无阶级的社会。答案详解L A 二十世纪平等的机遇并没有摧毁阶级。文章一开始就对无阶级社会的论点进行了反驳：有人认为君主整体已完全摧毁，幸存下来的王公贵族已经被剥夺了一切政治权力，继承的财产为税收大幅度的削减，到时候，巨大的财富将消失殆尽，在许多国家中，己全面胜利，人民进行统治，伟大的太平盛世已成为政治显示。作者认为：深入检查证实这一断言不实。第二段提出了即使人人都获同样的受教育的机会，可人的天然智慧和能力与平等原则无

125、关， 适者生存， 强权即公理依然存在。 教育的普及摧毁了老的阶级体制，却创造新的， 报酬是机遇才干成就。 贵族统治就是英才统治，可在其他方面，社会依然，阶级确实存在。后面两段集中论述了金钱的作用。B.金钱意味着平等是错误的。C.不存在无阶级社会。内容是对的，但不是本文的主题思想。D.自然界不会赋予你一个无阶级社会。2. B 自然界在分赋人智慧和能力是不会顾及平等。A.适者生存的原则存在。根据这一原则无智慧和能力者难以生存于社会。C. 物质报偿是根据人的真正能力。D.人们有自由选择如何教育自己的孩子。这三项都基于一点一一人的智慧和能力。有智慧能力才能生存，才能获报偿，这已经是不平等，即使获同样的

126、受教育的机会，也不可能铲除不平等。3. A 有钱的人。第三段一开始就点明：真正的能力、动物般机敏狡猾、技能、善抓机会的诀窍，这一 切都带来物质报偿。有了钱的人首要作的事情就是给孩子最佳教育机会，而私人学校教育优于公立学校，人们又有自由选择如何教育自己的孩子。在这个意义上，英才教育在某种程度上是永存的。一个来自富有家庭的有能力的孩子要比其对立面获得成功要快得多得多。B.具有很高智慧的人，若没有钱是难以成功的。第三段的最后一句话也点明这一点，金钱同从前一样是强有力的武器。文章最后一段即使在完全遵循社会平等原则的社会里，禁止特权的私人教育，人们也是按能力获报酬。小心翼翼而又耗费巨大地把聪明的孩子培养

127、成未来的统治者。C.具有最佳机遇的人。D.是 B 和 C 的结合。4. A 金钱决定一切。新的英才教育在一定程度上永存。没有钱，上不起私立学校，谈不上机会，更不用说英才教育。有了钱才能为孩子创造机会。B.私立学校提供的优越性高于公立学校。C.人们有自由选择教育孩子的方式方法。D.财富用于政治目的。第三段最后三句话：“ 财富也可以不加区别地用于更远的政治目的。没有强大的财政作后盾，成为民主国家的元首几乎是不可能。金钱和过去一样是强有力的武器，这也说明了金钱的力量，决定一切5. A 富人和穷人。纵然作者提及，同样的教育机会也不可能铲除不平等，因为上天赋予人之智慧是不可能考虑平等原则，可是作者也提到

128、适者生存、强权即公理。贵族政治可读成英才教育。这已说明英才指的是贵族的英才。第四段进一步指出有钱的人首先要做的就是给子女一个良好的教育机会。而私立学校的教育质量优于公立学校。有钱人家的有能力的孩子成功机遇就高。财产还可用于政治目的，要成为民主国家的领袖就得有雄厚的财力支持。钱财和过去一样强有力。即使在以社会平等为原则的社会中，私立学校被禁，酬劳还是以人的能力为准，大量需要有技能的工作人员，而差劲的人没有人关注。天才的孩子予以仔细而又及其昂贵的培养以成为未来的统治者。总之，政治意识归结为同一个东西一一阶级划分存在，不论你是为封建帝王统治，还是为受过教育的农民统治，从这里看，作者的class di

129、vision指的是A 项。B.人们不同的机遇。C.压迫者和被压迫者。D.天才和笨蛋。Passage Seven (The Most Important of All Human Qualities is a Sense ofHumor)Biologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability tolaugh.

148、笑基于人类最复杂而又微妙的品质一一幽默感。反过来说没有幽默感的人恐怕难以笑。第二段正式指出：幽默感表现形式多种多样，而笑可由微笑到狂笑种种，但其效果相同，幽默感有助于我们保持正确的价值观。这是政治狂热者所缺乏的特征。如果我们能看见滑稽可笑的一面，我们就不会犯过于看重自己的错误。我们总会记得悲剧离喜剧不愿，因此，我们不会有偏重某一测的观点。第四段画龙点睛的指出幽默是人类最重要的特征，因为它和笑声结合在一起。而笑又是和幸福联系在一起。勇气、决心、创造力特征，我们和其他生命形式共享，而幽默感是人类所独有的。如果幸福是我们生活的伟大目标，那幽默感就是开启幸福的钥匙。B.讽血感。这是第三段讲的内容，讽刺

B 使各种事情重新相等和均衡。第三段着重讲了这一点。人类在痛苦中挣扎，常处于战争的边缘。政治实现令人绝望，在这种处境中，对某些政治事物的讽刺挖苦和漫画可以使各种心理重新平衡，可使失去均衡感的政客地下高傲头颅；可使我看见许多深邃的事情荒谬可笑。A.表现行为的荒唐。C.使政治家气馁。D.表现世界上太多的令人沮丧之事。4.

A 运用MESBIC来帮助少数民族企业似乎比原来SBA的方法更具成功的可能性。文章一开始就点名SBA ( 小型企业管理局) 向少数民族企业提供联邦保证贷款，政府资助管理和技术方面的帮助，结果令人失望。组建成的少数民族新企业由于管理上缺乏经验、地点不佳、资金短缺而导致失败的情况很多。 其他见难句译注1、 2、 3。总之在MESBIC支持下：为它的潜在市场提供大量资金等，使它们在地点和市场流通方面风险小的多，从而带来足够的收入和保持所需的管理质量。这一切都说明MESBIC比 SBA的成功可能性大。B.MESBIC中的领导者和

219、，因为他们可以讨论重大主题，而在思想禁锢时期，只能产生个别伟大思想家。第二段具体的论证了独立思考涉及两方面，既如自己一方种种，也得知对手的一方种种（ 内容，推理，论点） ，才能真正获得真理。答案详解B 独立思考的必要性。见难句译注1 。这里说明进行独立思考的人即使犯错误，真理也能从中获得东西，而那些懒于思考人，即使持有正确的观点，真理也难以获得东西。第一段还点明思想禁锢时期，即不能进行独立思考时期，难以讨论重大议题，产生不了活跃的人民，绝不会出现像辉煌的文艺复兴那种时期（ 见第二题注） 。第二段也是围绕独立思考而写，只是从具体点着眼：人只知自己，不知对方无法获得真理，只有独立思考两方，才能不为

It isemployed for the purpose of attack (aggressive resemblance or anticryptic coloring ) as well as ofdefense (protective resemblance or procryptic colori

284、ng ). The fact that the same methodconcealment, may be used both for attack and defense has been well explained by T.Belt whosuggests as an illustration the rapidity of movement which is also made use of by both pursuer andpursued, which is similarly raised to a maximum in both by the gradual dying

285、out of the slowestthrough a series of generations. Cryptic coloring is commonly associated with other aids in thestruggle for life. Thus well-concealed mammals and birds, when discovered, will generallyendeavor to escape by speed and will often attempt to defend themselves actively. On the otherhand

286、, small animals which have no means of active defense, such as large, numbers of insects,frequently depend upon concealment alone. Protective resemblance is far commoner amonganimals than aggressive resemblance, in correspondence with the fact that predaceous forms are asa rule much larger and much

287、less numerous than their prey. In the case of insectivorous Vertebrataand their prey such differences exist in an exaggerated form. Cryptic coloring, whether used fordefense of attack, may be either general or special. In general resemblance the animal, inconsequence of its coloring, produces the sa

288、me effect as its environment, but the conditions do notrequire any special adaptation of shape and outline. General resemblance is especially commonamong the animal inhabiting some uniformly colored expanse of the earths surface, such as anocean or a desert. In the former, animals of all shapes are

289、frequently protected by their transparentblue color, on the latter, equally diverse forms are defended by their sandy appearance. The effectof a uniform appearance may be produced by a combination of tints in startling contrast. Thus theblack and white stripes of the zebra blend together at a little

290、 distance, and “their proportion is suchas exactly to match the pale tint which arid ground possesses when seen by moonlight. Specialresemblance is far commoner than general and is the form which is usually met with on thediversified surface of the earth, on the shores, and in shallow water, as well

291、 as on the floatingmasses of algae on the surface of the ocean, such as the Sargasso Sea. In these environments thecryptic coloring of animals is usually aided by special modifications of shape, and by the instinctwhich leads them to assume particular attitudes. Complete stillness and the assumption

292、 of a certainattitude play an essential part in general resemblance on land; but in special resemblance theattitude is often highly specialized, and perhaps more important than any other element in thecomplex method by which concealment is effected. In special resemblance the combination ofcoloring,

293、 shape, and attitude is such as to produce a more or less exact resemblance to some one ofthe objects in the environment, such as a leaf of twig, a patch of lichen, a flake of bark. In all casesthe resemblance is to some object which is of no interest to the enemy or prey respectively. Theanimal is

294、not hidden from view by becoming indistinguishable from its background as in the caseof general resemblance, but it is mistaken for some well-know object.In seeking the interpretation of these most interesting and elaborate adaptations, attemptshave been made along two lines. The first seeks to expl

295、ain the effect as a result of the directinfluence of the environment upon the individual (G.L.L.Buffon), or by the inherited effects ofefforts and the use and disuse of parts (J.B.P.Lamarck). The second believes that natural selectionproduced the result and afterwards maintained it by the survival o

296、f the best concealed in eachgeneration. The former suggestion breaks down when the complex nature of numerous specialresemblances is appreciated. Thus the arrangement of colors of many kinds into an appropriatepattern requires the cooperation of a suitable shape and the rigidly exact adoption of a c

297、ertainelaborate attitude. The latter is instinctive and thus depends on the central nervous system. Thecryptic effect is due to the exact cooperation of all these factors; and in the present state of science,the only possible hole of an interpretation lies in the theory of natural selection, which c

298、anaccumulate any and every variation which tends toward survival. A few of the chief types ofmethods by which concealment is effected may be briefly described. The colors of large numbersof vertebrate animals are darkest on the back and become gradually lighter on the sides, passinginto white on the

299、 belly. Abbot H. Thayer has suggested that this gradation obliterates theappearance of solidity, which is due to shadow. The color harmony, which is also essential toconcealment, is produced because the back is of the same tint as the environment (e. g. earth),bathed in the cold blue-white of the sk

300、y, while the belly, being cold blue-white and bathed inshadow and yellow earth reflections produces the same effects. This method of neutralizingshadow for the purpose of concealment by increased lightness of tint was first suggested byE.B.Poulton in the case of a larva and a pupa, but he did not ap

301、preciate the great importance of theprinciple. In an analogous method an animal in front of a background of dark shadow may havepart of its body obliterated by the existence of a dark tint, the remainder resembling, e.g., a part ofa leaf.

C .露天演出的服装。第一段末尾已经点明，“ 一般认为露天演出规模宏大，常常是由某个地方或当局（ 民政局主办赞助） ，或总是和某个地方集团有关。这意味着有用于演出目的资金配额，遗憾的是配额i般很少，必须动用非常的才能，细细的使用资金，所有演员才能窗上恰当的服装。 ”其他各段各有重点，但都是服务于剧装这一中心。A .露天演出。

360、己的力量，把男人视作她们共同的敌人。最后是目前向缓冲发展的趋势，也是作者观点。答案祥解1. A .第二次女权运动的浪潮。在第一段，一般性描述之后（ 见难句译注1） , 作者画龙点睛的指明“ 她就是我所指的第二次女权运动浪潮的象征。她是决心要成为的现代妇女的代表。 ”以后的文章就是围绕女权运动而写的。见文章大意。B .妇女的独立精神。这只是女权运动中部分内容。 C .妇女团结。第三段一开始就提 到 “ 激进女权主义者发现了紧密团结在一起的力量也是女权运动的部分内容。D .囱结运动。2. C .有点不赞成。这在最后两段表现的最为明显： “ 许多女权运动组织迅速发展证明这些激进争取女权的人触到了某些

362、。不完全如此。 D .他完全忽视不顾。3. A .好斗的。（ 斗争性强的） 。第三段第三句： ” 在最近5 年中女权运动首要方面常常具有这种好斗的阶级斗争调子。 ”B .野心的。 C .进步的。 D .独立的。4. D .男人是她们共同的敌人。第三段： “ 激进女权运动分子在紧密团结中找到了力量。第一次她们认识了自己，她们可以探索自我，意识到她们的力量，把男人及其制度视为她们共同的敌人A .妇女为男人们所剥削。这在第三段中讲到，见难句译注3。这是妇女观点中具体内容之一。也是为什么说男人及制度是她们共同敌人的原因之一。 B .妇女不受男人支配。 C .男人剥夺了女人生活。Passage Sixt

A .最后一幕非常壮观。文章内两处提到，第一段第二句“ 哑剧几乎总是分成独立的几幕，常常是发生在不同的国家和不同的世纪，因此，在宏伟的最后一幕有一个达到高潮完整统一设计。 ”第四段第四行末尾“ 最后一幕，必须是全戏最壮观的，地点常常是在舞厅或者皇宫，聚集着所有的演员，以备谢幕。 ”B .美丽的。 C .浪漫的。 D .灿烂的，都只是壮观中之一部分。2.

494、rt. Their hair-styles and make-up lookdated; their skirts look either too long or too short; their general appearance is, in fact, slightlyludicrous. The men taking part in the film, on the other hand, are clearly recognizable. There isnothing about their appearance to suggest that they belong to an

495、 entirely different age.This illusion is created by changing fashions. Over the year, the great majority of men havesuccessfully resisted all attempts to make them change their style of dress. The same cannot besaid for women. Each year a few so- called top designers in Paris or London lay down the

496、law andwomen the whole world over rush to obey. The decrees of the designers are unpredictable anddictatorial. This year, they decide in their arbitrary fashion, skirts will be short and waists will behigh; zips are in and buttons are out. Next year the law is reversed and far from taking exception,

497、no one is even mildly surprised.If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame.Because they shudder at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, theyare annually black-mailed by the designers and the big stores. Clothes, which hav

498、e been worn,only a few times have to be discarded because of the dictates of fashion. When you come to thinkof it, only a women is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes andannouncing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the deliberate

499、 creation of waste. Many womensquander vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women,who cannot afford to discard clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dressesthey have. Hem-limes are taken up or let down; waist-lines are taken in or let out

500、; neck-lines arelowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. Theyare only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage

501、 of the fact that women will putup with any amount of discomfort, providing they look right. There can hardly be a man whohasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shivering in a flimsy dress on awintiy day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in dainty shoes.When com

502、paring men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn areobvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basicqualities of fickleness and instability? Men are too sensible to let themselves be bullied by fashiondesigners. Do their unchanging

503、styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability?That is for you to decide.1. The main idea of this passage isA . New fashions in clothes reflect the qualities of women.B . New fashions in clothing are created solely for commercial exploitation of women.C . The top designers seem

504、 to have the right to creating new fashion.D . Men have the basic quality of reliability.2. Why do the general appearance of actresses look ludicrous?A.

508、淡然处之。答案祥解1. B .创制新时装就是对妇女的商业性剥削。答案遍及全文。也有几段突出描述。如：第二段第四句“ 每年，巴黎，伦敦的一些所谓高级设计师定出条条框框，全世界妇女竞相服从。设计师的条令难以预测，说一不二。 ”第三段“ 要说妇女年年被无情的剥削之事，只能怪她们自己。由于她们一想起在公共场所穿着过失的衣服就会发抖，所以他们每年都被设计师和大商店讹诈（ 勒索）”第四段：“ 许多妇女（ 每年）浪费大笔钱财来置换她们从未穿过的服装，时装变化就是故意创造浪费。 ”A .时装反映妇女的秉性。这是在最后一段结论中提及，不是中心思想。 D .男人具有可靠性的基本素质。不对。 C .高级设计师似乎有

509、权创造新款式。这是作者在批评设计者。2. D .因为高级设计师请她们领导时装潮流。只是常识，设计师新颖服装的推出，首先是让演员试装一一等于时装模特的效用，掀起可以领导时装的新潮流。A .他们要打扮入时，这只是演员的一方面。 B .随大流。 C .作作样子。 都是不对的。3. D .他们太好虚荣。 这在文章的好几段内都提到。如第一题中的第二段，三段，四段的参考译文。如第三段后半部分“ 只穿了几次的衣服就因为时尚的命令而弃之一边。当你想到只有妇女能站在堆满衣服的衣柜前，悲哀的诉说她没有衣服穿。 ”第四段的后半段“ 花不起大笔钱财买衣服的妇女会花上好几个小时把他们已有的衣服换来换去” 。第五段后半部

510、分“ 男人一生中经常可以看到大冬天妇女颤抖在薄薄的衣衫中，或者穿着精致的鞋在雪地上选路走，这都令他们发笑” 。最后一段结论，画龙点睛的以问点明“ 经常不断的换时装。 人们不禁要问， 这是不是反映了妇女轻浮和易变的基本素质（ 秉性） ？ ”A .她们爱新时尚； B .她们爱新衣服； C .她们想瞧着美。这三项只是虚荣的部4. A.“外前。答案在第五段“ 没有人认为时装工业为社会作过真正的贡献。时装设计师很少关心保暖，舒服和耐穿这类紧要的事，他们只是对外观感性趣，他们利用了妇女的心理：只要看着美，她们能忍受一切( 痛苦) 不舒服B .舒适。 C .美，时装不一定美。 D. 耐穿。Passage T

523、。第二段介绍了走私辛迪加的经营情况非常类似其他商业。老板就是真正的（ 执行） 董事长。他制定计划，签定国际合同，确定走私路线和方法但不参与具体执行行动。有一批经理助他管理各个专业部门，如财政，旅行，贿赂海关或航空公司官员等，还有当地接应走私货品的负责人。第三段叙述了合法和非法贸易另一个相似点一一价格波动， 价格随市场供需和商品质量而有所差异。答案祥解1. B .合法商业和走私的相似性。是这篇文章的中心思想。它是通过对比方法说明这种相似性。并不是两者对比得出结论。所以A .合法商业和非法商业比较。不对。 C .走私者可以从两种活动中谋取利润 和D .走私集团中的老板是董事长，只是对比中提到个别具

The relation between stimuli and perception is well covered, andincludes a valuable discussion of the uses and disadvantages of the Weber fraction of differences.It is interesting to

550、find that in spite of many attempts to separate and define the modalities of taste,nothing better has been achieved than the familiar classification into sweet, sour salty and bitter.Nor is there as yet any clear-cut evidence of the physiological nature of the taste stimulus. Withregard to smell, sy

551、stems of classification are of little value because of the extraordinary sensitivityof the nose and because the response to the stimulus is so subjective. The authors suggest that aclassification based on the size, shape and electronic status of the molecule involved merits furtherinvestigation, as

552、does the theoretical proposition that weak physical binding of the stimulantmolecule to he receptor site is a necessary part of the mechanism of stimulation.Apart from taste and smell, there are many other components of perception of the sensationsfrom food in the mouth. The basic modalities of pain

553、, cold, warmth and touch, together withvibration sense, discrimination and localization may all play a part, as, of course, does auditoryreception of bone-conducted vibratory stimuli from the teeth when eating crisp or crunchy foods.In this connection the authors rightly point out that this type of

554、stimulus requires much moreinvestigation, suggesting that a start might be made by using subjects afflicted with various formsof deafness.

The relation between stimuli and perception is well covered, and includes a valuablediscussion of the uses and disadvantages of the Weber fraction of differences.Weber fraction 为 Ernest Heinrich Weber 所著，他生于 1795 年，死与 1878,是德国生理学家。 参第译文书中详细论及刺激和感觉的关系。还包括了一篇很有价值的讨论文章：谈论威伯分数在评价差异上的缺点和

563、实用性。写作方法和文章大意这是一篇介绍“ 感官评价食品的原理“ 一书的序言。评者从书的读者对象，书的篇幅到内涵具体涉及片谈起，从主观到客观论证，采用例子和对比说明。第一段全面介绍，点出此书不同于过去的书。它们都把重点放在改善准备，保养和销售上。此书信息多，引证参考资料多，对今后研究有新建议； 对已有成果有新关点。第二段，从客观到主观的论述味觉，嗅觉并加以对比。第三段从众多其它感觉中，以听觉为重点论证。答案祥解1. A .以有趣的方式开始介绍食品讨论。文章一开始，评者就用“ 波兰有一谚语说，鱼，要想品味正，应游泳三次一一在水里游，在油里游和在酒中游。 ”这是国外广告式论说文经常才用的一种写作方式

564、。目的是吸引读者，激起他们想读下去的欲望，以达到推广作用。B .菱明食品和国籍的关系。 C .表明有各种准备食品的方法。 D .加深读者对鱼的价值的影响，三项都不对。2. C .评价高。评论者当然对此书评价极高，这是序言的必然途径。贬的就是批评文章了。全篇文章也说明这点。3. C .食品价值由专家的嗅觉客观决定。这和第二段后半段的内涵有联系。他说，味道可分甜，酸，咸辣，而味觉生理性却无明确无误的证据。“ 至 于 ( 嗅 觉 ) 闻，由于鼻子特别灵敏，对外界刺激的反映主观性强，所以任何分类体系均无价值。 ”作者建议以“ 大小，形状和涉及分子电子态为基础的分类值得进一步探讨研究，就像理论性前提一样

565、。刺激物分子和受体之间弱的物理结合是刺激生理机能的必要组成部分。 ”这段文章谈到味觉， 嗅觉但并没有直接或间接表达这种观点： 食品的价值是通过专家的嗅觉客观判定。A .需要明确无误的味觉分类。酸，咸，辣就是味觉的分类。 B .有关食品分子构成进行更多研究。文内也讲到有关分子电子态应进一步研究。D. 温度是食品评价中的一个因素。文内只在第三段提到了 “ 除了味觉，嗅觉外，口中食品还有其他许多种感觉成分，基本为疼，冷，热，触碰以及震动感，鉴别力和地区性都可能起作用。“ 作者直接说明热是可能有作用的。4. B .听觉在食品评价中是一个重要因素。这在第三段内提到。除了味觉和嗅觉外，口中食品还会产生许多

566、其它感觉。基本可分为痛，冷，热，触碰以及震动感，鉴别力和地区性都可能起作用。就像在吃脆硬或嘎嘎作响的食品时，听觉接受了来自牙齿骨操纵的震动刺激。在这方面，作者真确指出这种刺激需进行更多探讨研究，建议运用受各种听不见痛苦折磨的病人作起点研究。众所周知，外部的噪声会改变分辨力和注意力。“ 这说明B .听觉在食品评价中起着重要作用。是对的。A .聋子一般是内项的。 C .他们在选择食品时很挑剔。 D .各种物体都应当应用都和本文无关。Passage Twenty-seven (Analysis and Interpretation of the News)The newspaper must pro

623、写作方法与文章大意文章论及“ 男人轻视妇女”的问题。采用对比因果的手法写作。先提出妇女经过艰苦卓绝的斗争，赢得了独立的胜利，得到了承认，可是斗争远没结束。因为男子继续在进行性别斗争。下面就从男女双方对比，也可以说，男方轻视妇女及其理由，女方据理反驳。最后作者指出男人轻视妇女的根本原因是他们的自卑情绪。答案祥解L A .这确实不是一个启蒙时代。（ 1）这是第一句话语气和言词传递出来的内容。“ 这个时代应该是一个启蒙时期，可是假如你听到男人怎么说女人的，你就不会这么认为。 （ 2）正篇文章也传递了这个信息。B .不同于启蓑时期。” 三： 这时代跟启蒙时代一样。 D .这时代象个启蒙时期。 这三项都

624、不对。2. C .他们对至高无上权威的追求。答案在最后一段“ 事实是由于男人们基本的自卑情绪，他们追求至高无上的权威。他们躲避真正的竞争。他们心里明白妇女比他们优秀，因此他们害怕在他们自己的 游戏中失利A .因为他们自卑。 B .因为他们躲避真正的竞争。 D .因为他们仍然轻视妇女。3. C .错误观点。Fiction本意为“ 虚构” ，此处上下文决定此义：“ 可是男人们继续坚持这种错误的观点：有许多工作妇女干不了，两国高级政治谈判，商业和银行几乎全部为男人们所控制，他们忌妒地保卫着他们所谓的权利。 ”A .小说。 D .故事。 这 是 fiction两种基本含义，这里不对。 B .人为思想。

625、文中没有这种意义。4. C .他们不可信，不理智。答案见第三段“ 他们把妇女排除这些领域之外，所提出的论点 是 （ 众所周知）老调重弹。他们说妇女不可信，不理智。在做决定时，太依赖于直觉和本能。冷静得推理太少。 ”A .他们缺少冷静的推理。 B .他们太依赖于直觉， 这两项只是本段中用以解释“ 不可信，不理智的。 ” D .他们太认真。这是在第二段总提到的内容“ 我们都知道妇女引起的交通事故比男人少得多，她们非常认真负责不会像发疯似的开车。 ”Passage Thirty （ Fingerprints）The search for latent prints is done in a syst

Paradoxically,clues to the origin and early history of the surface features of the Earth may be found on the Moonand planets, rather than on

735、the Earth, because some of these bodies appear to have had a much lessactive geological history. As a result, relatively primitive surface features are preserved for studyand analysis.

Likewise, it would appear a reasonablehypothesis that the Earth has also been subjected to meteoroid bombardment in the past, and thatvery large bodies struck the Earth early in its geological histor

737、y.The large crater on the Moon listed by Baldwin has a diameter of 285 km. However, if weaccept the hypotheses of formation of some of the mare basins by impact, the maximum lunarimpact crater diameter is probably as large as 650km. Based on a lunar analogy, one might expectseveral impact craters of

738、 at least 500km diameter to have been formed on Earth. By applyingBaldwins equation, the depth of such a crater should be about 20km. Baldwin admits that hisequation gives excessive depths for large craters so that the actual depth should be somewhatsmaller. Based on the measured depth of smaller lu

739、nar crater. Baldwins equation gives the depthof the zone of brecciation for such a crater as about 75km. The plasticity of the Earths mantle atthe depth makes it impossible to speak of “bracciation“ in the usual sense. However, local stressesmay be temporarily sustained at that depth, as shown by th

740、e existence of deep-focus earthquakes.Thus, short-term effects might be expected to a depth of more than 50km in the mantle.Even without knowing the precise effects, there is little doubt that the formation of a 500-kmcrater would be a major geological event. Numerous authors have considered the geo

741、logicalimplications of such an event. Donn et aL have, for example, called on the impact ofcontinent-size bodies of sialic composition to from the original continents. Two major difficultiesinherent in this concept are the lack of any known sialic meteorites, and the high probability thatthe energy

742、of impact would result in a wide dissemination of sialic material, rather than itsconcentration at the point of impact.Gilvarry, on the other hand, called on meteoroid impact to explain the production of oceanbasins. The major difficulties with this model are that the morphology of most of the ocean

743、 basinsis not consistent with impact, and that the origin and growth of continents is not adequatelyexplained.We agree with Donn at al. that the impact of large meteorites or asteroids may have causedcontinent formation, but would rather think in terms of the localized addition of energy to thesyste
