There will be more social changes in the future than ever before. As a species, can humans survive in the transformation we have made? A lot of evidence show that we can do. Humans have great potential, but we are just beginning to exploit them. For example, we are just beginning to control the environment. Someday, technology will make all the desert flowers bloom. Its not hard. To achieve this, we only need to reduce the cost of desalination. The next question is whether they can provide enough food for our growing population when deserts become oases. Probably recently, we have begun to discover that intensive desert where farming is feasible. We already have technology that can increase yields tenfold and reduce water use by one-twentieth of what it was before. We know how to create an agricultural miracle. We need time and money to make this technology available to everyone.In the 19th century, people believed in progress. They believed that science would lead them into a new era of infinite happiness. However, things didnt go as far as they thought. Two disastrous world wars convinced people of this. But when we are disappointed, and when we worry that science is a monster that will destroy us one day, we forget that science is not a monster but we are. Science is only a servant, like fire, and if used properly, it will be a good servant.Despite the problems of the modern world, most people do not want to live in any of the underdeveloped times before us. If we do not destroy ourselves in the war, the future will be better. Every year we will make greater progress, like continual scientific advance, cured diseases, and conquered space, natural changes in transport and communications and radical changes in agriculture and industry and so on. For some, the future sounds exciting, while for others its scary. But one thing can be sure: the future will not be boring.7. 翻译题输出随输入的变化是很大的。【答案】The output varies greatly from the input.8. 单选题Under the present system, state enterprises must _ all profits to the government.问题1选项A.turn downB.turn upC.turn outD.turn in【答案】D【解析】【选项释义】A. turn down 减小；关小；调低 B. turn up 出现；发生；开大C. turn out 最后是；结果是 D. turn in 上交；归还【答案】D【考查点】词组辨析。【解题思路】句意：在现行制度下，国有企业必须将所有利润政府。国营企业上缴利润收入指国营企业以利润等形式上缴给国家的预算收入。因此根据句意，国有企业所获得的利润要交给政府。因此选D。【干扰项排除】A、B、C选项均不符合句意。【句意】在现行制度下，国有企业必须将所有利润上缴政府。9. 单选题The fall in the number of deaths from heart disease is generally _improvements in diet.问题1选项A.attributed toB.adjusted toC.adapted toD.accustomed to【答案】A【解析】【选项释义】A. attributed to 归因于；被认为是所为 B. adjusted to 调节；调整以适应C. adapted to 适合；适应于 D. accustomed to 习惯于【答案】A【考查点】词组辨析。【解题思路】句意：心脏病死亡人数的下降通常是饮食的改善。根据逻辑，因为改善饮食，所以心脏病的死亡人数会下降。由此可知，心脏病死亡人数下降是由于饮食的改善也就是归因于饮食的改善。因此选A。【干扰项排除】B、C、D选项均无法与空格前后构成相应逻辑关系。【句意】心脏病死亡人数的下降通常归因于饮食的改善。10. 翻译题在日常生活中，力似乎是靠“直接接触”（direct contact）来传递的。【答案】In daily life, power seems to be transferred by direct contact.11. 单选题Despite his _ planning, the exposition turned out to be a failure.问题1选项A.exquisiteB.exhaustedC.elaborateD.insufficient【答案】C【解析】【选项释义】A. exquisite精美的；精致的 B. exhausted筋疲力尽的；疲惫不堪的C. elaborate详尽的；精心制作的 D. insufficient不充分的；不足的【答案】C【考查点】形容词辨析。【解题思路】句意：尽管他的计划，博览会还是以失败告终。根据逻辑，这里存在一个转折关系，后半句讲博览会是失败的，则可以推测前半句中他的计划应该是精心制作的，但是博览会以失败告终。因此选C。【干扰项排除】A、B、D选项均无法与空格前后构成相应逻辑关系。【句意】尽管他精心策划，博览会还是失败了。12. 单选题Penny had dropped the large towel, which was flung around her shoulders, and was running into the sea. “Come on,” she said. “Ill race you.”Nicholas took off his beach-wrap and followed her into the water. It was chilly enough to make him gasp but he steeped in bravely, and continued until he was up to his waist and then dived, coming up close to her side. Then he set off at a steady rhythmic crawl for the boat, about fifty yards away.“Hi!” shouted Penny, chasing after him. “I thought you couldnt swim!” “I never said so.” Nicholas called back and he went faster, finding to his joy that his injured hands were moving easily in the water. The early morning sun shone warmly on his wet head and the sea sparkled. He reached the boat a little breathless, but happier than he had ever been since the night of the crash. He knew he swam well. He had been taught by a professional teacher when he was only seven and since then he had bathed in most of the oceans of the world. It was the only sport allowed to him and he had made the most of it.Penny pulled herself up into the boat and sat beside him, laughing. “You little monkey!” she said. “And there was me saying Id teach you to swim.”“It was very kind of you,” said Nicholas sedately, but his eyes smiled.“Youll have to go in for the races in August,” she told him. “Youll beat anyone weve got here!”“Oh, I dont think Id be allowed,” began Nicholas, but Penny broke in, “Why on earth not? Dont forget youre Nicky Field now, not anyone special. Why shouldnt you go in for races if you want to?”Not anyone special! Nicholas Wakefield turned this over in his mind. Did he like it or didnt he? For as long as he could remember he had been someone very special indeed. The greatest people in the world of music had watched him at the piano, and wherever he went he had to be protected from pressmen and photographers. In television studios all over the world he had received VIP treatment. But now, just for a few weeks he was not special at all, and only good at swimming. He was going to like it! Somehow it all seemed a wonderful joke.1. To enter the water Nicholas _.2. Why did he feel satisfied?3. When he reached the boat he felt _.4. Penny called Nicholas a “little monkey” because _.5.

Hed done really fast for the crawl. A. 他爬得非常快。B. He felt hed impressed his girlfriend. B. 他觉得他给女朋友留下了深刻的印象。C. Hed done exactly what hed been taught. C. 他完全按照老师教的去做。D. He found his hands werent stiff anymore. D. 他发现自己的手不再僵硬了。【答案】D【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据题干信息可定位到第三段第三句“他高兴地发现，他受伤的手在水里轻松地移动着。（finding to his joy that his injured hands were moving easily in the water）”由此可知，他的手在水中移动着，可推断，他的手不再僵硬不动了。因此选D。【干扰项排除】A选项“他爬得非常快。”，文中没有提及，属于无中生有；B选项“他觉得他给女朋友留下了深刻的印象。”，文中没有提及，属于无中生有；C选项“他完全按照老师教的去做。”，文中提到“他七岁的时候就被一位专业的老师教过，从那时起，他就沐浴在世界上大部分的海洋中。”，但是在此处并没有说他完全按照老师教的去做，也并不是因为此原因而感到满足，该选项属于过度推断。3. 【选项释义】When he reached the boat he felt _. 当他到达船上时，他感到_。A. a little bit tired A. 有点累了B. short of breath B. 呼吸急促C. painful in his hands C. 双手疼痛D. proud of winning the race D. 因为赢得了比赛而自豪【答案】B【考查点】事实细节题。【解题思路】根据题干信息可定位到第三段第五句“他上气不接下气地来到船边（He reached the boat a little breathless），但从撞船的那天晚上以来，他从来没有这么高兴过。”由此可知他到达船上以后有点呼吸急促。因此选B。【干扰项排除】A选项“有点累了”，文中没有提及，该选项属于无中生有；C选项“双手疼痛”，文中没有提及，该选项属于无中生有；D选项“因为赢得了比赛而自豪”，虽然尼古拉斯更早的到达船上，但是并没有说他因为赢得比赛自豪，该选项属于过度推断。4. 【选项释义】Penny called Nicholas a “little monkey” because _. 佩妮叫尼古拉斯“小猴子”是因为_。A. he had played tricks on her in the water A. 他在水里捉弄了她B. he had let her think he couldnt swim B. 他让她以为他不会游泳C. he had dived in and chased her C. 他跳进水里追她D. he had pretended he didnt like swimming D. 他假装不喜欢游泳【答案】B【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据题干信息可定位到第三段第一、二句“佩妮追着他喊道。我以为你不会游泳呢！（I thought you couldnt swim!）”以及第四段“你小猴子！她说。我还说要教你游泳呢。”由此可推断佩妮以为尼古拉斯不会游泳。因此选B。【干扰项排除】A选项“他在水里捉弄了她”，文中没有提及，该选项属于无中生有；C选项“他跳进水里追她”，曲解原文，属于过度推断；D选项“他假装不喜欢游泳”，文中没有提及，该选项属于无中生有。5. 【选项释义】What did Nicholas Wakefield find funny? 尼古拉斯韦克菲尔德觉得什么好笑？A. The TV men and photographers hadnt been able to find him. A. 电视记者和摄影师都没能找到他。B. Pennys way of getting into the boat. B. 佩妮上船的方式。C. He was going to give concerts for a few weeks under the name of Nicky Field. C. 他打算用尼基菲尔德的名字开几周的演唱会。D. He was just going to be an ordinary person for a few weeks.

I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, “How would you like to go to Eton?”“You bet,” I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was semi-detached; he had shrunk from joining the aristocratic Royal Liverpool Golf Club and approached a smaller one instead; though once he had acquired a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging and my hands shaking with the confusion of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.“Oh, he doesnt want to go away,” said my mother, “You shouldnt go on like this.” “Its up to him,” said my father. “He can make up his own mind.”1. If a father wants to send his son to Eton, he had better apply for it _.2. The house they lived in was _.3. His father sold his Rolls-Royce because _.4. The writers father enjoyed being different as long as _.5. What was the writers reaction to the idea of going to boarding-school?问题1选项A.as soon as his son is bornB.when his son is 12 or 13C.even before his son is bornD.only if his son is clever问题2选项A.the best they could affordB.right for their social positionC.near the Golf ClubD.rather small问题3选项A.it made him feel uneasyB.it was too old to be efficientC.it was too expensive to ownD.he needed money then问题4选项A.it enabled him to show offB.it didnt involve him in argumentsC.it was understood as a jokeD.there was no danger of his showing off问题5选项A.He was very unhappy.B.He had mixed feelings.C.He was delighted.D.He didnt believe it.【答案】第1题:C第2题:B第3题:A第4题:D第5题:B【解析】1. 【选项释义】If a father wants to send his son to Eton, he had better apply for it _. 如果一个父亲想送他的儿子去伊顿公学，他最好在_就申请。A. as soon as his son is born A. 儿子一出生B. when his son is 12 or 13 B. 儿子12岁或13岁时C. even before his son is born C. 儿子出生前D. only if his son is clever D. 除非他的儿子聪明的时候【答案】C【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据题干信息可定位到第二段“如果出生前没有，那么你必须在出生时登记。（You had to be entered at birth, if not before.）”由此可知如果没有在出生前登记，那么必须在出生时登记。由此可推断，最好在出生前就申请。因此选C。【干扰项排除】A选项“儿子一出生”，根据推断，最好是在出生前登记，该选项属于反向干扰；B选项“儿子12岁或13岁时”，根据推断，最好是在出生前登记，该选项属于反向干扰；D选项“除非他的儿子聪明的时候”，曲解原文，该选项属于过度推断。2. 【选项释义】The house they lived in was _. 他们住的房子_。A. the best they could afford A. 是他们能负担得起的最好的房子B. right for their social position B. 与他们的社会地位相称C. near the Golf Club C. 在高尔夫俱乐部附近D. rather small D. 相当小【答案】B【考查点】推理判断题。【解题思路】根据题干信息可定位到第二段第六句“他总是知道自己在生活中应有的地位（his proper station in life），也就是中产阶级的中间阶层，我们的
