DWhile解析考查行文逻辑。这句话的两个分句之间是让步关系。句意：尽管摩梭人的语言中有“母亲”一词，但却没有“父亲”。选项中只有while可表示让步。答案D23A.one Bsome Cno Dproper解析考查行文逻辑。由上一题可推知答案。答案C24A.refer to Bmake Clook Dpretend解析考查词语辨析。refer to sb as.相当于consider sb

of A，was born in Albuquerque，New Mexico.His mothers ancestors were early settlers in Texas，and over the generations had acquired a 25,000acre farm at Cotulla.Jeffrey spent most summers of his youth working with his grandfather on their farm.Jeffrey showed intense and varied scientific interests at an early age.He set up an electric alarm to keep his younger sisters and brothers out of his room and changed his parents garage into a laboratory for his science projects.After he graduated from Princeton University with a degree in computer science and electrical engineering，Jeffrey Bezos found employment on Wall Street，where computer science was increasingly in demand to study market trends.He rose quickly，becoming a senior vice president，and looked forward to a bright career in finance，when he made a discovery that changed his life，and the course of business history.In 1994，there was still no Internet commerce to speak of.One day that spring，Jeffrey Bezos observed that Internet usage was increasing by 2,300 percent a year.He saw an opportunity for a new circle of commerce，and immediately began considering the possibilities.Bezos founded A in 1994，setting up the original company in his garage.The company was called Amazon for the seemingly endless South American river with its numberless branches.It started as an online bookstore but soon diversified(多样化)to all kinds of products.His work with Amazon eventually led him to become one of the most excellent dotcom entrepreneurs(企业家)He was named Time magazines Person of the Year in 1999.In 2008，he was selected by US.News &World Report as one of Americas Best Leaders.Bezos Amazon has become“the Earths biggest anything store”A is now called“one of the smartest strategies in business history”Today，Jeffrey Bezos lives north of Seattle and is increasingly concerned with charity(慈善)activities.“Giving away money takes as much attention as building a successful company，”he has said.【语篇解读】 本文介绍的是Amazon公司创始人Jeffrey Bezos的传奇人生。36In his childhood，Bezos_.Ahad to work with parents on their farm all day longBshowed great interest in scienceCdidnt get along well with his brothers and sistersDwanted to become a businessman解析细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的内容可知他在很小的时候就对科学表现出了浓厚的兴趣。答案B37Jeffrey changed the course of business history because he_.Arose quickly，looking forward to a bright career in finance on Wall StreetBobserved the Internet usage was increasing by 2,300% a yearCfounded a new form of commerce that developed fast laterDwas the first to speak of Internet commerce解析细节理解题。第三段提到他的发现改变了他的人生，也改变了商业历史的进程，下文提到他注意到了因特网商业的巨大商机并创办了Amazon公司，由此可知原因是他后来创建了一种快速发展的新型商业模式。答案C38Bezos named his company Amazon with the aim of _.Aopening numberless branches all over the worldBliving a quiet life along the Amazon RiverCearning endless money and being wealthyDwishing his company to run smoothly and endlessly解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句中的内容可推测他以Amazon命名自己的公司是希望公司能够顺利而且永无止境地运转。答案D39Which of the following ISNT mentioned in the passage?AHow hard Bezos studied physics in Princeton University.B“A”only sold books in the beginning.CBezos not only devoted his life to Internet commerce but also to charity.DThe reason why Jeffrey Bezos decided to found A.解析细节理解题。由文章第三段前半部分可知他从普林斯顿大学毕业，但文中并没有提到他在普林斯顿大学攻读物理的刻苦程度。答案ABThere are two factors which determine an individuals intelligence.The first is the sort of brain he is born with.Human brains differ considerably，some being more capable than others.But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with，an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what happens to the individualthe sort of environment in which he is reared.If an individual is handicapped environmentally，it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individuals intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins，Peter and Mark XBeing identical，the twins had identical brains at birth，and their growth processes were the same.When the twins were three months old，their parents died，and they were placed in separate foster homes.Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities.Mark was reared in the home of welltodo parents who had been to college.He was read to as a child，sent to good schools，and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens，when they were given tests to measure their intelligence.Marks IQ.was 125，twentyfive points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother.Given equal opportunities，the twins，having identical brains，would have tested at roughly the same level.40This selection can best be titled_.AMeasuring Your IntelligenceBIntelligence and EnvironmentCThe Case of Peter and MarkDHow the Brain Influences Intelligence解析主旨大意题。本文主要讨论了智商与环境之间的关系，并以一对失去父母的双胞胎兄弟的实例加以证明。答案B41The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that_.Ahuman brains differ considerablyBthe brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligenceCenvironment is vital to determine a persons intelligenceDpersons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence解析推理判断题。虽然人的智商是由两个因素决定的。但是本文用大幅篇章说明了环境的重要性：好的学习、教育环境对于一个人的智商发展来说是必不可少的，并以一对失去父母的双胞胎兄弟的实例加以证明。答案C42According to the passage，the average IQ.is_.A85 B100 C110 D125解析细节理解题。由倒数第二句“Marks IQ.was 125，twentyfive points higher than the average”可知选B。答案BC“Small talk”includes topics，such as sports，weather，jobs，or past experiences.Most people do not talk about religion，politics，or personal feelings with strangers.People do not usually talk about the personal lives of their conversation partners.This emotional distance does not mean people dislike you，but personal lives are discussed only with close friends and family.There are few“ritualistic”exchanges in English，but you should know that“How are you？”and“Hows it going？”are greetings，not questions about your life.“See you later.”or“See you soon.”are ways of saying goodbye，not appointments.People in the US are curious.They will ask you a lot of questions.Some of their questions may appear ridiculous，uninformed(无知的)and elementary，but try to be patient in answering them.You may be the first person from your country whom they have met，and they will have very little understanding of your life.Most people are sincerely interested in learning about you.Many people believe in the“scientific method”of understanding the world，so they look for facts and evidence when you tell them something new.This may seem odd to students whose cultures emphasize feelings or emotions，but people are not rude if they say，“Show me”or“Prove it”Loud conversations usually mean people are angry.Most conversations are moderate in volume with few gestures.Do not speak too loudly or too quietly，and keep your hands under control.When you have communication difficulties，you may think it is because of spoken or written language.However，many misunderstandings happen because of nonverbal communication，or body language.【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍跟美国人交谈时应该注意的问题，即美国人的交谈习俗。43What would be the best title for the passage?AMaking Conversations in the USBWhat Is“Small talk”？CMake Yourself at Home in the USDUnderstanding American Cultures解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文介绍跟美国人交谈时应该注意的问题，也就是美国人的交谈习俗。B项仅是文章的细节；C项偏离了文章的中心；D项概念过大。答案A44Which of the following would be an open topic of American conversations?AWhat one feels about his new colleague.BThe war in Iraq.CStory of a sports star.DOnes income.解析细节理解题。根据常识可排除D项，美国人的谈话一般不涉及个人隐私的问题，如年龄、婚姻、收入等。从第一段可知，人们闲谈的话题其中包括体育方面的内容，而政治、宗教以及个人感情则不是公开谈论的话题。答案C45What should you do if Americans say，“Show me”or“Prove it”？AExplain to them that your cultures emphasize feelings or emotions.BTry to give them as many facts as possible.CTell them you dont understand the“scientific method”DIgnore their questions and change to another topic.解析推理判断题。从文章倒数第二段可知，美国人注重事实和证据，因此，你应该给他们提供一些例子以便他们更好地理解你的观点。答案B46From the last paragraph we can learn that_.Amost communication difficulties are caused by spoken or written languageBAmericans are usually modest during a conversationCAmericans use a lot of gestures during an conversationDyou shouldnt use many gestures when talking to an American解析推理判断题。从文章最后一段可知，美国人在谈话中很少使用手势，而且作者还建议你也要控制住自己的手，因此推断，在跟美国人交谈时不要过多地使用手势。答案DDThe Leaning Tower of Pisa has gone against the laws of gravity for seven and a half centuries.Every year，on June 19th，a professor from the University of Pisa climbs to the bell tower and measures the increase in the slant(倾斜) with special instruments.And every year the professor makes the same report：the tower has learned a bitabout an inch more.Last summer(the year of 2004)，the 125foothigh tower was leaning an incredible 15 feet out of line.Scientists say that unless a way is found to stop the slant，the tower will collapse in less than 80 years.The tower is leaning because the soft soil of Pisa will not support it.Its foundation is sinking into the soil at an angle，causing the tower to lean.Since a slight shake could make the foundation loose，the ringing of the towers bells was forbidden in 1959.And trucks are not allowed to pass in the neighborhood of the tower for this same reason.47This passage is mainly about _.Aa famous tower that leans Ba plan for saving the towerCthe history of the Tower Dthe cause of the towers slant解析主旨大意题。文章主要介绍塔的一些情况，而不是关于a plan for saving the tower，更不是单纯说明the cause of the towers slant。答案A48This summer the tower may be found to be in the slant by _ according to the passage.Amore than one inch Bexactly one inchCmore than fifteen feet Dexactly fifteen feet解析推理判断题。见第一段第三句、第四句“And every year.about an inch more”，“Last summer.15 feet out of line”可断定“this summer.of.more than fifteen feet”。答案C49Truck traffic has been forbidden in the neighborhood of the tower _.Ato protect all the visitorsBto prevent the bell in the towerCto protect the foundationDto keep the soil at the tower解析推理判断题。见第二段最后两句。答案C50According to the way it is written，this passage is more like _.Aa funny history story Ba serious tour advertisementCan exciting announcement Da common science report解析推理判断题。根据全文可知D为最佳答案。答案DEA different sort of generation gap is developing in the workplace.Someonespecifically the fatherdaughter team of Larry and Meagan Johnsonhas figured out that on some American job sites，five generations are working side by side.In their new book about generations in the workplace the pair argue that while such an age difference adds a lot of texture and a variety of life experiences，it can also bring tensions and conflicts.The Johnsons are humanresource trainers and public speakers.Dad Larry is a former healthcare executive；daughter Meagan is a onetime highlevel sales manager.Here are the oldest and youngest of the five generations they identify：They call the oldest group Traditionals，born before 1945.They were heavily influenced by the lessons of the Great Depression and World War .They respect authority, set a high standard of workmanship，and communicate easily and confidently.But theyre also stubbornly independent.They want their opinions heard.At the other extreme are what the Johnsons call Linksters，born after 1995 into todays more complicated，multimedia world.They live and breathe technology and are often social activists.You wont find many 15year olds in the offices of large companies，except as volunteers，of course，but quite old and quite young workers do come together in sales environments like bike shops and ice cream stores.The Johnsons，Larry and Meagan，represent a generation gap themselves in their work with jobsite issues.The Johnsons point is that as the average lifespan continues to rise and retirement dates get delayed because of the tight economy，people of different generations are working side by side，more often bringing with them very different ideas about company loyalty and work values.The five generations are heavily influenced by quite different events，social trends，and the cultural phenomena of their times.Their experiences shape their behavior and make it difficult，sometimes，for managers to achieve a strong and efficient workplace.Larry and Meagan Johnson discuss all this in greater detail in a new book，“Generations，Inc.：From Boomers to LinkstersManaging the Friction Between Generations at Work.”published by Amacom Press，which is available in all good bookstores from this Friday.【语篇解读】 本文通过介绍一对父女出版的新书向我们解释了现代社会出现的一种新现象：不同的几代人可能在同一个公司上班，而他们之间的这种“代沟”导致了他们在工作时观点不一51The type of generation gap in Paragraph 1 refers to the difference in beliefs_.Abetween managers and workersBamong family membersCamong employeesDbetween older and newer companies解析推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句话中的in the workplace和该段最后一句话中的five generations are working side by side，可知文章中讨论的generation gap是有关在同一公司上班的员工之间的不同观念。因此C项正确。答案C52Which o
