Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)At its most fundamental level, a theory is a set of statements about natural phenomena that explains why these phenomena occur the way they do. In the sciences, theories are used in what Kuhn calls the job of “puzzle solving”. By this Kuhn means that scientists look at observable phenomena as puzzles or questions to be solved. Why does the earth revolve around the sun and not fly off into space? Why are humans bipedal but the other primates are knuckle-walkers? These are all questions about things that confront us everyday, and it is the job of scientists to account for them.In short, then, the first duty of a theory is to account for or explain observed phenomena. But a theory ought to do more than that. A theory also ought to make predictions about what would occur under specific conditions. Lets look at one familiar example.In the early part of the 19th century, scientists were already aware of the presence of microorganisms in the air and water, and they had an idea about the connection between the organisms and disease. However, they had no idea of how they came into existence; indeed, belief in the spontaneous generation of these organisms was widespread. “Bad air” was thought to cause disease. Careful experimentation by Louis Pasteur and other scientists demonstrated that microbes, though carried by air, are not created by air. Living organisms come from other living organisms. These discoveries led to the development of the germ theory of disease, which proposed that disease was caused by microorganisms. The acceptance of this theory had obvious important applications in public health, such as the development of vaccines, hygienic practices in surgery, and the pasteurization of milk. It not only could explain the presence and spread of disease, it could also predict, for example, that doctors who delivered babies without washing their hands after performing autopsies (尸体解剖) on patients who had died from childbirth fever would transmit the disease to new patients. Even more important, the same theory could be used to connect phenomena that on the surface appeared unrelated, such as the transmittal of disease, fermentation processes in wine and beer production.【答案】从最基本的层面来说，理论是一套关于自然现象的陈述，用来解释为什么这些现象会以这种方式发生。在科学领域，理论被用于库恩所谓的“解谜”工作。库恩的意思是，科学家把可观察到的现象看作是谜题或待解决的问题。为什么地球绕着太阳转而不飞向太空？为什么人类是两足行走，而其他灵长类动物是用关节行走?这些是我们每天都要面对的问题，而解释这些问题是科学家的工作。那么，简而言之，理论的首要职责就是说明或解释所观察到的现象。但理论所做的应该不止这些。理论还应该预测在特定条件下会发生什么。让我们看一个熟悉的例子。早在19世纪初，科学家们就已经意识到空气和水中存在微生物，他们对微生物和疾病之间的联系有了一个想法。然而，他们不知道它们是如何形成的；事实上，人们普遍相信这些生物是自发产生的。“糟糕的空气”被认为会导致疾病。路易斯巴斯德和其他科学家经过仔细的实验得出证明，微生物虽然通过空气传播，但不是由空气产生的。生物体来自于其他生物。这些发现导致了疾病的微生物理论的发展，该理论提出疾病是由微生物引起的。接受这一理论在公共卫生方面有明显的重要应用，如疫苗的研制、外科手术的卫生规范以及牛奶的巴氏杀菌。它不仅可以解释疾病的存在和传播，它还可以预测，例如，接生完之后未洗手的医生在对死于分娩发烧的病人进行尸检之后，会将疾病传染给新病人。更重要的是，同样的理论可以用来联系表面上不相关的现象，如疾病的传播，葡萄酒和啤酒生产中的发酵过程。6. 单选题Starting with the（ ）that there is life on the planet Mars, the Russian and American scientists went on to develop their arguments.问题1选项A.premiseB.pretextC.preconditionD.presentation【答案】A【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项premise“前提，假定，假设”；B选项pretext“借口，托辞”；C选项precondition“前提，先决条件”；D选项presentation“展示，描述”。句意：从火星上有生命这一假设出发，俄罗斯和美国的科学家继续展开他们的争论。火星上有生命这只是一个假设，所以选项A正确。7. 单选题With price（ ）so much, its hard for the company to plan a budget.问题1选项A.fluctuatingB.wavingC.swingingD.vibrating【答案】A【解析】考查动词辨析。fluctuate“使波动，使动摇，涨落”； wave“挥手，挥舞”；swing“摇摆，旋转”；vibrate“使振动，使颤动”。句意：由于价格波动大，所以这家公司很难做出预算计划。A项符合题意。8. 翻译题Directions: Choose two of the following sentences and translate them into English. Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points, 5 points each)Note: You are required to translate 2 of the following sentences.1、世界是丰富多彩的，各种文明和社会体制应当求同存异并，取长补短。我们不能照搬照抄别国的政治制度。2、世界上很难找出政党制度和政治制度完全相同的国家。各国有各国的国情。关键的是要有利于经济发展和政治稳定，维护和实现人民的根本利益。3、腐败作为一种社会历史现象，古今中外很多社会都有。现在世界上没有哪个国家能说已经完全消除了腐败。只有程度的不同。4、不谋万世者，不足谋一时；不谋全局者，不足谋一域。5、子曰：“三人行，必有我师焉；择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之。”【答案】1. Our world is diverse and colorful. All kinds of civilizations and socialist systems should seek common ground while reserving differences and learn from each other to make up deficiencies. We should not copy the political system of other countries mechanically.2. We can hardly find two countries that have exactly the same political party system and political system. Different countries have different national conditions. What is essential is that the kind of party system they institute should serve their economic development, political stability, and maintenance and realization of the fundamental interests of their people.3. Corruption, as a social and historic phenomenon, has existed in many societies, both in the past and at present. No country in the world today can acclaim that it has completely eliminated corruption. The only difference lies in the degree of seriousness of this problem.4. Without long-term strategy, short-term achievement is impossible. Without full-scale consideration, simple action is impracticable.5. Confucius said, “When three are walking together, I am sure to find teachers among them. I will select their good qualities and follow them, their bad qualities and avoid them.”9. 单选题Mr. Gore says the increasing（ ）of bush fires in Australia is an example of how quickly the climate is changing.问题1选项A.viciousnessB.ferocityC.maliciousnessD.malevolence【答案】B【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项viciousness“邪恶，恶意”；B选项ferocity“凶猛，残忍”；C选项maliciousness“恶意”；D选项malevolence“怨恨，狠毒”。句意：戈尔说，澳大利亚越发肆虐的丛林大火是气候变化速度之快的例证之一。这里是指火势很猛，所以选项B符合句意。10. 单选题The serious looking men indulged themselves in a conversation as if they were（ ）of the noisy crowds surrounding them.问题1选项A.negligibleB.discernedC.ignorantD.oblivious【答案】C【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项negligible“微不足道的”；B选项discerned“察觉，辨别”；C选项ignorant“无知的”；D选项oblivious“健忘的”。句意：这些外表严肃的人沉浸在会话当中，似乎对周围嘈杂的人群一无所知。选项C符合句意。11. 单选题In the past forty years, weather forecasting has become almost（ ）computerized.问题1选项A.centrallyB.totallyC.nationallyD.extremely【答案】B【解析】考查副词辨析。A选项centrally“在中心”；B选项totally“完全地”；C选项nationally“全国性地” D选项extremely“非常，极其”。句意：在过去的四十年里，天气预报已经几乎完全计算机化了。因此B项符合句意。12. 单选题Flats were almost unknown in Britain until the 1850s when they were developed, along with other industrial dwellings, for the laboring classes.

Womens education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing womens contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its emphasis on incentives, provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody elses family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.1.The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is（ ）.2.By saying “the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling .” (Para. 2), the author means that（ ）.3.The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous circle when（ ）.4.What does the author say about womens education?5.This passage mainly discusses（ ）.问题1选项A.troublesomeB.labor-savingC.rewardingD.expensive.问题2选项A.girls will turn out to be less valuable than boysB.girls will be capable of realizing their own dreamsC.girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reachD.girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at home问题3选项A.women care more about educationB.girls can gain equal access to educationC.a family has fewer but healthier childrenD.parents can afford their daughters education问题4选项A.It deserves greater attention than other social issues.B.It is now given top priority in many developing countries.C.It will yield greater returns than other known investment.D.It has aroused the interest of a growing number of economists.问题5选项A.unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countriesB.the potential earning power of well-educated womenC.the major contributions of educated women to societyD.the economic and social benefits of educating women【答案】第1题:C第2题:A第3题:B第4题:C第5题:D【解析】1.细节事实题。根据原文首段第一句“Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. 在发展中国家，为女孩提供教育保障的回报率很可能比其他任何投资都要高。”由此可知，C选项rewarding“有回报的”符合原文。A选项troublesome“麻烦的”；B选项labor-saving“节省劳力的”；D选项expensive“昂贵的”，均不正确。2.作者意图题。根据第二段最后一句话“the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle of neglect. 这种预言变成了自我实现，使女性陷入被忽视的恶性循环。”这一预言即破折号前面所提到的“Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school因此，女孩被认为不如男孩有价值，她们被关在家里做家务，而她们的兄弟则被送去上学”，由此可知，选项A符合原文。3.细节事实题。根据第三段的内容，作者通过列举一个受过教育的母亲的事例来阐述了恶性循环变成良性循环的情况。受过教育的母亲不会有很多孩子，能够顾及所有孩子的发展，确保她的女儿能够得到公平（接受教育）的机会。因此，她女儿的教育使下一代女孩以及男孩更有可能受到良好的教育。也就是说，只有当女孩能够获得平等接受教育的机会才能使恶性循环变成良性循环，所以选项B符合原文。4.细节事实题。根据原文最后一段的第一、二句“Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. 几乎没有人会质疑女性接受教育具有巨大的社会效益。但它同样也有巨大的经济优势。”这一观点和首段第一句呼应，由此可知，作者认为女性接受教育会产生比其他投资更大的回报。所以选项C符合原文。5.主旨大意题。结合全文内容以及上一题可知，作者一直在强调女性接受教育所产生的回报，不仅具有巨大的社会效益，同样也有巨大的经济优势。所以本文主要讨论的是妇女接受教育所带来的经济和社会利益，选项D符合原文。14. 单选题I would do anything for her except（ ）what she cooks.问题1选项A.to eatB.eatC.eatingD.eaten【答案】B【解析】考查动词的形式。句意：我可以为她做任何事，就是不要吃她做的饭。Except在这里表示并列关系，前面是would do，后面同样也是用动词原形，所以选项B正确。15. 单选题Since market reforms were instituted in the late 1970s, China has been among the most rapidly growing economies in the world, regularly（ ） 10 percent GDP growth annually.问题1选项A.exceededB.exceedingC.has exceededD.having exceeded【答案】B【解析】考查非谓语。句意：自上世纪70年代末实行市场改革以来，中国一直是世界上增长最快的经济体之一，每年的GDP增长率经常超过10%。句中已有谓语动词has been，所以填空处应填入非谓语，由此可首先排除C选项和D选项；其次，这里应使用现在分词形式表示超过的状态，而且超过是主动语态，所以选项B正确。16. 单选题Even if they are on sale, these refrigerators are equal in price to, if not more expensive than,（ ）at the other store.问题1选项A.anyoneB.the othersC.the onesD.that【答案】C【解析】考查不定代词。句意：即使减价出售，这些冰箱的价格即使不比另一家商店的贵，价格也是一样的。根据句意可知填空处所指代的应该是refrigerators，代词one可以用来替代前面提到过的名词，以避免重复。而这里使用的是冰箱的复数形式，所以也要用复数的ones来指代，并且refrigerators是上文已经提及的，表示特指，所以要加上定冠词the，选项C正确。17. 单选题There is not the woman born who desires to eat the bread of dependence, no matter ( ) from the hand of father, husband, or brother; for any one who does so eat her bread places herself in the power of the person（ ）she takes it.问题1选项A.whether they be. from whichB.whether it be.from whomC.would they be.from whomD.would it befrom which【答案】B【解析】考查语法结构。句意：世上没有生来就想靠别人吃饭的女人，无论是靠父亲、丈夫还是兄弟；因为任何一个人这样做的话，就是将自己置于施舍之人的权利之下。根据句意可知，第一空主要是需要明确from的主语应该是“the bread”，所以应该用单数形式的it来指代，由此可排除选项A和选项C；其次第二空的先行词是the person，关系代词应该用whom，所以选项B正确。18. 单选题These funds will come with stringent conditions that will impose external financial controls and（ ）heavily on Icelands hard-won sovereign independence.问题1选项A.impingeB.affectC.afflictD.impact【答案】A【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项impinge“妨碍，侵犯”；B选项affect“影响，感染”，一般和介词to搭配；C选项afflict“折磨，使痛苦”；D选项impact“影响，冲突”。句意：这些资金将附带严格的条件，强制实施外部金融控制，并严重侵犯了冰岛来之不易的主权独立。这里是指侵犯主权，所以选项A更符合语境。19. 单选题When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, its amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Dont the spectators who
