James Cameron: Earth's Deepest Spot Desolate, Foreboding
“The last frontier on Earth is out—of-this—world，desolate(荒蕪的)，foreboding(有不祥預感的)，and moon—like", James Cameron said after diving to the deepest part of the ocean.
And he loved it.
"My feeling was one of complete isolation from all of humanity," Cameron said Monday, shortly after returning from the strange cold dark place 7 miles below the western Pacific Ocean that only two men have been to. "I felt like I literally, in the space of one day, had gone to another planet and come back. It' s been a very surreal day. "Cameron, whose imagination of alien worlds yielded the blockbuster ( 大片 ) movie Avatar, said there was one thing he promised to himself: He wanted to drink in how unusual it is.
He didn't do that when he first dove to the watery grave of the Titanic, and Apollo astronauts have said they never had time to savor ( 品嘗)where they were.
"There had to be a moment where I just stopped, and took it in, and said, 'This is where I am; I'm at the bottom of the ocean, the deepest place on Earth. What does that mean?'" Cameron told reporters during a Monday conference call after spending three hours at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, nearly 7 miles down.
"I just sat there looking out the window, looking at this barren (貧瘠的 ), desolate lunar plain, appreciating,"
Cameron said.
He also realized how alone he was, with that much water above him.
"It's really the sense of isolation, more than anything, realizing how tiny you are down in this big vast black unknown and unexplored place," Cameron said.
Cameron said he had hoped to see a strange deep sea monster like a creature that would excite the storyteller in him and seem like out of his movies, but he didn't.
He didn't see tracks of small primitive sea animals on the ocean floor as he did when he dove more than 5 miles deep weeks ago. All he saw were voracious (貪吃的) shrimp-like critters that weren't bigger than an inch.
In future missions, Cameron plans to bring "bait"--like chicken---to set out.
Cameron said the mission was all about exploration, science and discovery. He is the only person to dive there solo, using a sub (潛水艇) he helped design. He is the first person to reach that depth-- 35,576 feet – since it was initially explored in 1960.
There had been race to the bottom among rich and famous adventurers. Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Industries has been building his own one-man sub to explore the depths of the ocean. Branson told the Associated Press that Cameron's dive was "a fantastic achievement. "
Branson said he hoped to explore a different deep place first now, instead of the Mariana Trench. He planned later this year to dive to the deepest part of the Atlantic, the Puerto Rican trench, which is only five miles from his home. That area is just of six miles deep and has not been explored yet.
Branson said he hopes to take his one-man sub and join Cameron in a tandem(一前一后的)dive of solo subs: "Together, we'll make a formidable team. "
Cameron spent more than three hours at the bottom, longer than the 20 minutes Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard spent in the only other visit 52 years ago. But his time there was shorter than the six hours he had hoped for and he didn't reach the trench walls, because he was running low on power. He said he would return, as would the sub's Australian co-designer, Ran Allure.
"I see this as the beginning," Cameron said. "It's not a one-time deal and then moving on. This is the beginning of opening up this new frontier. "
"To me, the story is in the people in their quest and curiosity and their attempt to understand," Cameron said.
He spent time filming the Mariana Trench, which is about 200 miles southwest of the Pacific island of Guam.
The trip down to the deepest point took two hours and 36 minutes.
His return aboard his 12-ton, lime-green(淺黃綠色的)sub called Deepsea Challenger was a "faster-than-expected 70-minute ascent," according to National Geographic, which sponsored the expedition. Cameron is a National Geographic explorer-in-residence.
The only thing that went wrong was the hydraulics(液壓裝置on the system to collect rocks and critters to bring them back’to land. Just as he was about to collect his first sample, a leak in the hydraulic fluid sprayed into the water and he couldn't bring anything back.
When Cameron climbed into his sub, it was warm because it was near the equator and his cramped ( 狹窄 ) vehicle--his head hit one end and his feet the other--was toasty ( 溫暖舒適的) because of the heat given off by electronics. It felt "like a sauna (桑拿浴)" with temperatures of more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, he said.
But as he plunged into the deep, the temperature outside the sub dropped to around 36 degrees Fahrenheit, he said.
The pressure on the sub was immense--comparable to three SUVs resting on a toe. The super-strong sub shrank three inches under that pressure, Cameron said.
"It's a very weird environment," Cameron said. "I can't say it's very comfortable. And you can't stretch out. "

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Without regular supplies of some hormones our capacity to behave would be seriously impaired; without others we would soon die. Tiny amounts of some hormones can modify our moods and our actions, our inclination to eat or drink, our aggressiveness or submissiveness ( 順從), and our reproductive and parental behavior. And hormones do more than influence adult behavior; early in life they help to determine the development of bodily form and may even determine an individual's behavioral capacities. Later in life the changing outputs of some endocrine ( 內分泌) glands (腺體) and the body's changing sensitivity to some hormones are essential aspects of the phenomena of aging.
Communication within the body and the consequent integration of behavior were considered the exclusive province of the nervous system up to the beginning of the present century. The emergence of endocrinology (內分泌學) as a separate discipline can probably be traced to the experiments of Bayliss and Starling on the hormones
secreting. This substance is secreted from cells in the intestinal ( 腸的 ) walls when food enters the stomach; it travels through the bloodstream and stimulates the pancreas ( 胰 ) to liberate pancreatic juice, which aids in digestion. By showing that special cells secret chemical agents that are conveyed by the bloodstream and regulate distant target organs or tissues, Bayliss and Starling demonstrated that chemical integration can occur without participation of the nervous system.
The term "hormone" was first used with reference to secreting. Starling derived the word from the Greek hormone, meaning "to excite or set in motion". The term "endocrine" was introduced shortly thereafter.
"Endocrine" is used to refer to glands that secrete products into the bloodstream. The term "endocrine" contrasts with "exocrine (外分泌)", which is applied to glands that secrete their products through ducts (導管) to the site of action. Examples of exocrine glands are the tear glands, the sweat glands, and the pancreas, which secretes pancreatic juice through a duct into the intestine. Exocrine glands are also called duct glands, while endocrine glands are called ductless glands.
57. The author's main purpose in this passage is to__________.
A) explain the specific functions
B) provide general information about hormones
C) explain how the term "hormone" evolved
D) report on experiments in endocrinology
58. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
A) The human body requires a large amount of hormones.
B) Synthetic hormones can replace a person' s natural supply of hormones if necessary.
C) The quantity of hormones produced and their effect on the body are related to a person's age.
D) The short child of tall parents probably had a hormone deficiency early in life.
59. The word "liberate" (Line 5, Paragraph 2 ) could be best replaced by __________.
A) emancipate
B) discharge
C) surrender
D) save
60. It can be inferred from the passage that, before the experiments of Bayliss and Starling, most people believed
that chemical integration occurred only__________.
A) during sleep
B) in the endocrine glands
C) under control of the nervous system
D) during strenuous exercise
61. According to the passage, another term for exocrine glands is__________.
A) duct glands
B) endocrine
C) ductless glands
D) intestinal glands
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible ( 可減稅的 ). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.
62. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality __________.
A) still judge a man by his clothes
B) hold the uniform in such high regard
C) enjoy having a professional identity
D) will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform
63. People are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform
A) suggests quality work
B) discards his social identity
C) appears to be more practical
D) looks superior to a person in civilian clothes
64. The chief function of a uniform is to __________.
A) provide practical benefits to the wearer
B) make the wearer catch the public eye
C) inspire the wearer's confidence in himself
D) provide the wearer with a professional identity
65. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms __________.
A) are usually helpful
B) have little or no individual freedom
C) tend to lose their individuality
D) enjoy greater popularity
66. The best title for this passage would be __________.
A) Uniforms and Society
B) The Importance of Wearing a Uniform
C) Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform
D) Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

It has always been difficult for me to decide whether "popular music" means music written for the people or is simply music that the people like. The same
problem of definition 67 with jazz. So many different 68 of "music have been called jazz at one time or another that it is 69 to say what it really is.
Jazz has always been 70 to be black music but when I first 71 an interest in it, I used to hear white bands playing music that was like Louis Armstrong's in

Since then white singers 75 Bob Dylan have rediscovered their own folk 76 , instead of borrowing from black roots. But the main changes 77 1960 have been social and technical. One is that young people have more money to spend on 78 at an earlier age than they 79 , so Tin Pan Alley, the "pop" music industry, 80 at teenage audience. 81 is that electronic equipment has developed to such an 82 that technicians are now capable of mixing sound to produce recordings that are quite different from a 83 performance.
But the real problem with "pop" music is that Tin Pan Alley has always worked against its being a 84 music of the people. It 85 everything original and natural out of it and 86 it with cheap commercial imitations. As the American folk singer, Woody Guthrie, said: "They've always preferred the second rate songs. They've never wanted to play the good ones. "

Food Contamination
Time and again, we are bombarded with the news about food contamination--Some profit-oriented businessmen use cheap, and often inedible chemical substances in the food production. The general public has heard a lot of this and some of them have even suffered from food contamination themselves.
Stories with food contamination are innumerable. Lovely newborns were deprived of their health by tainted milk powder. Many chronic and incurable diseases resulted from certain contaminated foods. With food contamination cases popping up now and then, the general public often finds their health has been unknowingly harmed for a long time, and begins to doubt the credibility of the whole society, thus the damage done by food contamination becomes more psychological than physiological.
To deal with this problem, the first and foremost thing would be to wake up the moral conscience of the unscrupulous food-producers. Secondly, stricter laws and quality standards should be implemented. Last but not least, supervisory departments should perfect the inspection mechanism. If these moves are carried Out, the general public will have a greater prospect of enjoying safe foods.
【譯文】
食品污染
我們經常被食品污染的新聞連番轟炸——某些只追求利益的商家將價格低廉的、往往不可食用的化工原料添加到所生產的食品中。公眾已經聽說過很多此類事件，有一些人自身還受到過食品污染的危害。這樣的故事數(shù)不勝數(shù)。可愛的新生兒被毒奶粉奪去了健康。許多慢性的、醫(yī)治不好的疾病都由某些被污染的食品引發(fā)。隨著食品污染事件不斷涌現(xiàn)出來，公眾常常發(fā)現(xiàn)在他們不知情的情況下，他們的健康已受到了長期的損害，他們開始懷疑整個社會的可信度，因此食品污染的損害已經不只是生理上的，更是心理上的。要應對這一問題，首先也是最重要的一點就是喚醒那些不道德的食品生產者的道德良知。其次，要實施更為嚴格的法律和質量標準。最后但同樣重要的是，監(jiān)管部門要完善監(jiān)督機制。如果這些舉措能被落實的話，公眾就更有可能享用到安全的食品。
【要點用法】
bombard轟炸，攻擊 incurable醫(yī)治不好的
profit-oriented以利潤為導向的pop up冒出，突然出現(xiàn)
inedible不能食用的 credibility可信性，可靠性
substance物質physiological生理上的
innumerable數(shù)不勝數(shù)的 unscrupulous道德敗壞的
newborn新生兒 implement實施
taint污染perfect完善
chronic慢性的 inspection mechanism監(jiān)督機制
【句法點評】
1.Time and again.we are bombarded with the news about food contamination…點題之句，說明食品污染事件頻繁發(fā)生。time and again意為“多次，經常”。bombard原本意為“轟炸，攻擊”，此處為比喻的手法，用來指這些新聞出現(xiàn)的頻率較高，且往往具有爆炸性和傷害性。
2. Stories with food contamination are innumerable.innumerable意為“數(shù)不勝數(shù)的”，可用來替換我們經常用的many、a lot of等等。
3.Lovely newborns were deprived of their health by tainted milk powder.newborns可用于替代常用的babies。be deprived of sth.表示“被剝奪某物”。taind是contaminated的另一種說法，用在此處增加了表述的多樣性，可以在閱讀英文報刊的過程中積累此類詞匯。
4.With food contamination cases popping up now and then，the general public often finds their health has been unknowingly harmed for a long time，and begins to doubt the credibility of the whole society，thus…popup意為“冒出，突然出現(xiàn)”，與now and then一起表示“時不時就會發(fā)生”。the general public作為集合名詞，謂語動詞用單數(shù)。unknowingly為“不知不覺地”。thus用于引出結果，使上下文銜接流暢。
5.to wake up the moral conscience of the unscrupulous food-producers...該短語意為“喚醒那些不道德的食品生產者的道德良知”，是值得積累的表達。
6.If these moves are carried out，the general public will have a greater prospect of enjoying safe foods.moves表示“舉措”，carry out與implement為同義表達。have a/the prospect of sth./doing sth.意為“有希望做某事”。
Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
【參考譯文】
【答案解析】
1.B
線索詞：the blockbuster movie Avatar
定位處：第四段開頭。
解析：Avatar一詞出現(xiàn)在第四段，該段提到，“Cameron，whose imagination of alien worlds yielded the blockbuster movie Avatar…”，可見，卡梅隆創(chuàng)作出大片《阿凡達》是源于他對外星世界的幻想。故選B。
2.D
線索詞：stopped for a while
定位處：第六段第一、二句。
解析：第六段提到了卡梅隆在下潛過程中停留了一會兒，“有那么一會兒，我停了下來，只是感受它.然后說：‘這就是我現(xiàn)在所處的位置;我在海底，在地球最深處。這意味著什么呢?”再根據(jù)第七段的內容可知，他停下來是為了感受這個奇特的時刻。故選D。
3.B
線索詞：the dark and mysterious bottom of the ocean，Cameron's strongest feeling
定位處：第九段。
解析：dark and mysterious是對原文中big vast black unknown and unexplored的概括轉述。原文提到：“It's really the sense of isolation，more than anything”，可見一種與世隔絕的感覺勝過了其他所有的感覺。故選B。
4.C
線索詞：the only thing he saw
定位處：第十一段第二句。
解析：原文提到之前他曾在海底看到了很小的原始海洋動物，但這一次他看到的盡是些貪吃的像小蝦一樣的生物，不足一英寸大小。選項c中的ate a lot是原文中voracious的同義轉述，small是原文中weren’t bigger than an inch的同義轉述。
5.A
線索詞：Cameron’S diving，significant
定位處：第十二段第二、三句。
解析：能稱得上significant必然和成就有關。原文提到：“他是目前為止唯一獨自潛入那片深海的人，乘坐的是他自己協(xié)助設計的潛艇。自從該海域在1960年被人類首次探索以來，卡梅隆是第一位潛到了35576英尺這一深度的人。”比較四個選項的描述，選項A應是最有意義的成就。
6.A
線索詞：Sir Branson hopes
定位處：第十四段第一句。
解析：根據(jù)人名可以定位到第十三段，但解答本題的信息在第十四段，原文提到：“布蘭森說，他希望自己能夠率先潛入一片不同的深度海域，而不是去馬里亞納海溝。”可見，潛入一處沒有人去過的海域是布蘭森爵士的愿望。故選A。
7.C
線索詞：kept Cameron from reaching the trench walls
定位處：第十六段第二句。
解析：本題問為什么卡梅隆沒有抵達海溝的側壁，原文提到：“盡管如此，他在深海待的時間要比他此前希望的六個小時短，由于所剩動力不足，他沒來得及到達海溝的側壁。”由此可知，卡梅隆沒有繼續(xù)潛行是因為害怕潛艇的動力耗盡，故選C。
8.(the)National Geographic(Magazine)
線索詞：sponsor
定位處：倒數(shù)第六段第一句。
解析：原文提到：“據(jù)本次勘探任務的贊助方《國家地理》雜志稱，該潛艇的返回時間是‘比預想要快’70分鐘”，可見，卡梅隆在馬里亞納海溝的探險是由《國家地理》雜志贊助的。既可以直接填National Geographic，也可以填the National Geographic Magazine。
9.gave off heat
線索詞：warm and comfortable，eleotronics
定位處：倒數(shù)第四段第一句。
解析：原文提到：“卡梅隆剛爬入潛艇的時候，里面比較溫暖，因為當時是在赤道附近，而且潛艇艙體比較狹窄——他的頭和腳分別都可碰觸艙體兩端——電子設備發(fā)出的熱量讓他感覺溫暖舒適。”可見，潛艇里之所以很溫暖，除了緯度較低之外，還因為艙體里的電子設備會發(fā)出熱量。從語法結構來看，所填入的應該是一個動詞短語，故需在原文名詞+分詞短語的基礎上略做改動。
10.shrank three inches
線索詞：the pressure was immense，strongly—built sub
定位處：倒數(shù)第二段。
解析：原文提到：“潛艇所承受的壓力很大——相當于三輛SUV車壓在一個腳趾頭上。卡梅隆說，自己那架超級堅固的潛艇在那種壓力下都縮小了三英寸。”可見，在壓力的作用下，潛艇即使很堅固，但也縮小了三英寸。

Passage One
【聽力原文】
I'm sure almost everyone of you looked at your watch or a clock before you came to class today. Watches and
clocks seem as much a part of our life as breathing or eating. And yet, [26] did you know that watches and clocks were scarce in the United States until the 1850s?
In the late 1700s, people didn't know the exact time unless they were near a clock. Those delightful clocks in the squares of European towns were built for the public--after all, most citizens simply couldn't afford a personal timepiece. [27] Well into the 1800s--in Europe and the United States--the main purpose of a watch, which, by the way, was often on a gold chain, was to show others how wealthy you were.
The word "wristwatch" didn't even enter the English language until nearly 1900. By then the rapid pace of industrialization in the United States meant that measuring time had become essential. How could the factory worker get to work on time unless he or she knew exactly what time it was? Since efficiency was now measured by how fast a job was done, everyone was interested in time. [28] And since industrialization made possible the manufacture of large quantifies of goods, watches became fairly inexpensive. Furthermore, electric lights kept factories going around the clock, Being on time had entered the language--and life--of every citizen.
26. What was TRUE of watches before the 1850s?

Passage Two【聽力原文】
[29] When a sleepy driver has trouble in keeping his eyes on the road and gets too close to another car,an alarm will sound to warn the driver. If nothing is done, the car will automatically come to a stop and in this way prevent an accident. This is a new device which will soon be tested in an experimental car in Japan. [31] The computer warning system keeps track of a driver's condition by monitoring his heartbeat with signals transmitted from a band around his wrist. The wrist band records the driver's pulse which measures the heartbeat. Each pulse in the wrist sends a signal to the computer. By analyzing the pulse rate, the computer can determine whether a driver is drunk, sleeping or ill. Devices in other parts of the car can also tell the computer if the car is too close to another vehicle or is moving dangerously. [30] The computer will sound the alarm when a problem arises, and will automatically stop the car if the driver ignores the warning.
29. Why is a computer system installed in an experimental car?
30. What does the computer system do first when a problem arises?
31. What is special about the new computer system?

Good Morning. My name is Paul and [32]I'm a senior in the Math Department here at Madison.
Today Greg and 1 will be taking you around to a few places you'll be visiting a lot. Before we start, though,[33] does everyone have a copy of the map of our campus? You should really keep this with you for the first couple of weeks, at least until you become familiar with the buildings and landmarks. You sure wouldn't want to miss any classes this early in the term. Today we'll visit some of the most important places on the campus. First, we'll go to the registrar's office where you'll sign up for your classes. So if you haven't seen your advisor yet, you can wait in the commons outside while the others get their class schedules. You have to come back here on your own later. Next, We'll go to the library. I think you'll be pretty impressed with the rare books collection. [34] And finally, we'll go to the cafeteria where you'll probably spend a lot of time socializing at least until your first
exams are scheduled. [35] The number of the room for your classes will be on the schedule you get from the registrar, and it will be up to you to find those rooms yourselves. So, if there are no questions, we'll start the tour now.

【整體預測】
快速瀏覽各題選項，根據(jù)campus、architecture、guidance、new students、classes、registration forms、library、map、registrar's office、cafeteria、dormitories、classrooms等關鍵詞可知，短文可能提及校園的各
種建筑，可能與向新生介紹學校的情況有關。
32.C
【解題思路】
1.四項均以動詞ing形式開頭，且均與指導、介紹有關(explaining，providing guidance，familiarizing，advising)。
2.三項提及campus。
結論：本題為該短文的第一題，很有可能是問講話者正在做什么，間接考查短文的主旨。
【解析】在短文開頭處講話者進行了自我介紹(I'm a senior in the Math Department here at Madison.)，同時說明了今天他們要做的事情：Today Greg and l will be taking you around to a few places you’ll be visiting a lot.(帶領新同學轉一轉校園里他們日后將會經常去的地方)，也就是熟悉一下校園。故選C。
33.D
【解題思路】四項均為名詞短語，分別為：登記表格、圖書卡、課程列表、校園地圖，這四項都是校園生活中常見的東西。應注意短文中的相關名詞，講話者可能會直接提到。
【解析】題干問講話者建議大家要隨身攜帶什么。講話者在剛開始介紹時說道：“每個人都拿到了一份校園地圖了吧?在最開始的幾周大家要隨身攜帶這份地圖，至少要等你熟悉了校園的建筑和地標才行。”故選D。需要注意的是講話者有時會向聽眾提出問題，并且有時會自問自答，這些地方都是重要的信息點，也往往是考點。
34.D
【解題思路】
1.四項均為以in開頭的地點狀語。
2.四項均為校園的常見地名(registrar's office，library，math building，cafeteria)。
結論：本題可能考查某事與某地點的聯(lián)系，需注意與地點有關的信息。
【解析】題干問講話者說聽眾(也就是大學新生們)在哪里度過的時問會比較長。講話者在短文稍后部分提到：最后，我們會到達食堂，你們可能在那里會花很多時間進行社交活動，一直等到你們第一次考試的時間表排出來。
35.B
【解題思路】四項均以動詞原形開頭，分別為：搬進他們的寢室、找到他們的教室、記住校園的地標、完成登記材料�？雌饋矶际切律鷳撟龅氖虑�，需注意講話者對于新生應該做什么有何要求。
【解析】題干問什么事是聽眾(也就是大學新生們)必須親自做的。短文末尾提到：你們教室的門牌號碼將會寫在你們從注冊主任那得到的課程安排表上，但你們必須自己找到這些教室�？梢�，新生們必須親自做的是找到自己的教室。故選B。

While the majority of women said they were overweight,[45] 68 percent said they were satisfied with their identity and development as an individual.
But 40 percent said it was wrong for a man to tell a woman she was overweight.

Part IV Reading Comprehension(Reading in Depth)
Section A
【參考譯文】
一項研究報告顯示，2011年美國女性在獲得商界高管職位方面沒有取得明顯進步，但研究的負責人稱明年女性已準備好取得[47]進展。由[49]促進女性在商界的職業(yè)發(fā)展的非贏利機構Catalyst所做的這項調查指出，“財富500強”企業(yè)的董事會和管理層成員或高薪員工中女性的比例[48]基本沒有變化。Catalyst稱，今年l5.1%的公司董事會中有女性成員，去年這一比例為14.8%。此外，2011年公司的管理層職位中有15.7%由女性[50]擔任，2010年為l5.4%。2011年高薪員工中女性占6.2%，而2010年為6.7%。對“財富500強”企業(yè)所做的研究是[51]基于2011年3月31日以前的相關數(shù)據(jù)之上的。Catalyst稱，這些細微的數(shù)據(jù)變化[52]在統(tǒng)計學上意義不大。Catalyst機構總裁兼[s3]首席執(zhí)行官史琳•朗表示，盡管如此，考慮到美國政壇的變化，商界女性的前景將會[54]改觀。她說：“總的說來，我們[55]期待看到明年的變化。股東、決策者和公眾都在期待改變。”她說：“大家都在說：‘我們不要[56]再維持現(xiàn)狀，我們需要新的理念，新的面孔。”’【說明文：女性在商界高管和高薪員工巾所占的比例沒有太大的改觀】
第一段：提出結論——女性在獲得商界高管職位方面沒有取得明顯進步，但前景看好。
第二至五段：用Catalyst機構調查得出的具體對比數(shù)據(jù)，說明女性在商界高管和高薪員工中所占的比例沒有太大的變化。
第六至八段：Catalyst的總裁艾琳表示由于多種因素，商界女性的前景將會改觀。
【答案解析】
47.J
語法判斷：空格前為make，空格后為in the year ahead，因此應填入名詞，且應與make形成合適的搭配。
語義判斷：前文說：“2011年美國女性在獲得商界高管職位方面沒有取得明顯進步，但……”從語義上的轉折可以判斷，此部分應是表達“明年女性會取得進展”，make strides既合語法，亦合語義，故J為正確答案。
48.I
語法判斷：空格前為句子的謂語remained，空格后為unchanged。從語法上判斷結構完整，因而要填入的應是副詞。
語義判斷：備選的副詞有：essentially和statistically。從上下文語義判斷，本句應意為：“在過去一年中，這些佘司的董事會和管理層成員或高薪員工中女性的比例基本沒有變化。”essentially(基本上)符合語法和句意，故為正確答案。
49.K
語法判斷：空格前為a nonprofit group that，空格后為opportunities for women in business。從語法上判斷，that引導著一個定語從句，先行詞為nonprofit group，作主語，空格處應填入動詞，且應為第三人稱
單數(shù)。
語義判斷：備選項中的動詞或可能用作動詞的有。changes、based、promising、promotes、confused、held和expecting。promotes(促進，提升)符合語法和句意，即：“促進女性在商界的職業(yè)發(fā)展”。
50.N
語法判斷：空格前為corporate officer positions，空格后為by women，因而應填入過去分詞。
語義判斷：備選項中的過去分詞有：based、confused、held。比較可知held符合句意，即：“2011年公司的管理層職位中有15.7%由女性擔任”。
51.C
語法判斷：空格前為was，空格后為on data as of…，很有可能要填入動詞的過去分詞。
語義判斷：備選項中的過去分詞還有based和confused。based on為固定搭配，代入句中意思也比較通順。本句意為：“對‘財富500強’企業(yè)所做的研究是基于2011年3月31日以前的相關數(shù)據(jù)之上的。”，故答案應為based。注意該空所在句中as of為固定短語，意為“截至”。
52.L
語法判斷：空格前為：are not considered，空格后為：significant，句子成分完整，空格中應填入副詞。
語義判斷：備選項中的副詞只剩下statistically，代入后則句子意為：“這些細微的數(shù)據(jù)變化在統(tǒng)計學上意義不大。”可見statistically既合語法，亦合語義，故為正確答案。
53.F
語法判斷：空格前為the future…looks fit.ore�？崭窈鬄槎禾�，本空應填入形容詞。
語義判斷：備選項中的形容詞或可用作形容詞的有：more、promising、businesslike、confused。填入promising則句意為：“商界女性的前景將會改觀”。promising修飾future已成為慣用的搭配，表示“未來是有希望的”，也即“前景樂觀”。
54.A
語法判斷：空格前為president and chief executive，可見空格處應該為職位。
語義判斷：chief executive officer(CEO)為“首席執(zhí)行官”之意，故本空選officer。類似的表達還有：chief financial officer(CFO)首席財務官;chief operation officer(COO)首席運營官等等，考生應該多加積累。
55.O
語法判斷：前面是We’re，后面是to see…，很有可能應填入現(xiàn)在分詞。此外，下文的when we look at shareholders，decision makers，the general public，they’re looking for change.也為我們解題提供了線索。
語義判斷：備選項中是現(xiàn)在分詞的還有：surveying和expecting，填入expecting符合語法，同時句意“我們期待看到明年的變化”也較為通順。
56.E
語法判斷：空格前為Don’t give us，空格后為of the status quo。應填入名詞或形容詞。
語義判斷：由后文的“我們需要新的理念，新的面孔”我們基本可以判斷該句的句意應為：不要維持現(xiàn)狀。填入more，既符合語法也符合句意，故為正確答案。
Section B
Passage One
【參考譯文】
【說明文：人體的激素】
第一段：激素對于人體的重要作用。
第二段：科學家貝利斯和斯塔林發(fā)現(xiàn)激素的過程。
第三段：激索、內分泌等術語的由來，以及外分泌與內分泌的關系。
【答案解析】
57.B
定位：根據(jù)題干信息main purpose in this passage可知解答本題需通觀全文。
解析：題干問作者寫此篇文章的主要目的是什么。A項“解釋某種功能”不夠全面，C項“解釋‘荷爾蒙’這一概念是如何演變的”不是文章主要說明的內容，D項“報告關于內分泌的實驗”也并非作者的目的。正確答案應為B項“提供有關激素的基本信息”。
58.C
定位：根據(jù)題干信息conclusion可知解答本題需通觀全文。
解析：選項C的意思是“人體所產生的激素的數(shù)量以及它們對于人體的影響與人的年齡有關”，這與第一段最后一句話意思相近，原文提到：“成年以后，內分泌腺體產生不同的分泌物，身體也開始對不同的激素做出敏感程度各不相同的反應，這些都是人體成長或老化現(xiàn)象必不可少的方面。”可見激素的分泌的確與年齡有關。其他選項均在文中找不到依據(jù)。本題選C。
59.B
定位：根據(jù)題干信息“liberate”(Line 5，Paragraph2)可直接定位到第二段第三句。
解析：原文提到：“食物進入胃以后，腸壁細胞就會分泌出一種物質;然后，它在血液中流動并刺激胰 腺釋放胰液，而胰液能夠促進消化。”emancipate意為“解放”，discharge意為“釋放”，surrender意為“投
降”。save意為“保存”。B項與liberate的意思相符，故為正確答案。
60.C
定位：根據(jù)題干信息before the experiments of Bayliss and Starling可將答案定位到第二段最后一句。
解析：該句提到：“貝利斯和斯塔林通過展示特殊的細胞能分泌出化學物質(它們通過血液進行傳輸，并能夠調控遠距離的目標器官或組織)，證明即便沒有神經系統(tǒng)的參與，化學結合仍可能發(fā)生。”而且本段第一句也提到“直至本世紀初，人們依然認為，人體內各部分的交流以及后續(xù)的行為整合只能在神經系統(tǒng)里進行”，由此可見，在貝利斯和斯塔林的實驗之前，人們一直認為這一切都發(fā)生在神經系統(tǒng)里或必須有神經系統(tǒng)的參與。故選C。
61.A
定位：根據(jù)題干信息another term for exocrine glands可將答案定位到文章末句。
解析：exocrine glands為“外分泌腺體”，文章最后一段提到，外分泌腺體所分泌的物質不是直接釋放到血液里，而是通過導管輸送到相應的部位，因此又叫管腺。在最后一句有明確的說明。解答本題需要將提到的各種術語清晰對照。
Passage Two
【參考譯文】
【說明文：美國人對制服的推崇以及制服的優(yōu)缺點】
第一段：指出美國人對于制服十分熱愛和推崇。
第二至三段：介紹穿制服的好處。
第四至五段：介紹穿制服的一些不好的方面。
【答案解析】
62.B
定位：根據(jù)題干信息Americans who worship variety and individuality可將答案定位到第一段第一句。
解析：文章第一句即提到：“美國人因他們的多樣性和個性而自豪，但他們很少對其他的事物像對制服這樣熱愛和尊重，不論是電梯操作人員的制服還是五星上將的制服都是如此。”可見，美國人雖然崇尚多樣性和個性，但卻將制服推崇到很高的地位。故選B。
63.A
定位：根據(jù)題干信息are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform可將答案定位到第二段第二句。
解析：題干中的are accustomed to thinking與原文中的have become conditioned to expect同義，原文提 到：“對于一個穿著制服的人，人們已經開始條件反射式地期待上好的質量。”A項中的quality work為原文中superior quality的同義轉述。故為正確答案。
64.D
定位：根據(jù)題干信息chief function of a uniform可將答案定位到第二段第三至五句。
解析：第二段在講到制服的功能的時候提到，維修員、機械師如果穿著制服的話，比穿便服更能獲得人們的信任。在最后一句又提到：“若要使護士、警察、理發(fā)師或者侍者的職業(yè)身份消失，還有比讓他們脫下制服更容易的辦法嗎?”可見，制服最重要的功能就是給人一種職業(yè)的、值得信任的感覺，故選D。
65.C
定位：根據(jù)題干信息people wearing uniforms和題文同序的規(guī)律可將答案定位到第四段。
解析：第四段第一句提到：“在反對制服的觀點中，首要的一條就是它們缺少變化，而且必須穿著制服的人們還會因此面臨個性缺乏的問題。”第二句又提到：“穿著某一類制服的人一般只能穿一種，一成不變，直到退休。”可見，穿制服的人會失去某種自由和個性。故選c。
66.D
定位：根據(jù)題干信息best title for this passage可知解答本題需通觀全文。
解析：文章第一段指出美國人對于制服十分熱愛和推崇，第二、三段介紹的基本都是制服的優(yōu)點，第四、五段介紹的則是制服一些不好的方面，故D項“制服的優(yōu)缺點”能較好地概括本文內容，B和C項均不夠完整，而A項不是文章討論的主要內容。
Part V Cloze
【文章大意】
很難界定popular music是指寫給大眾的音樂還是僅指人們所喜歡的音樂，對于jazz(爵士樂)也一樣。爵士樂興起于黑人社會，但“我”之前所聽的都是白人樂隊演奏的著名黑人樂手(比如路易斯•阿姆斯特朗)的作品。到了20世紀60年代，出現(xiàn)了兩種變化，一種是青少年有了更多的錢來購買唱片，另一種是科技的進步使得混音成為可能。但更重要的是像錫盤巷這樣的流行音樂總是選擇成為二流歌曲，日漸放棄了原創(chuàng)性的、自然的元素，吸取了庸俗的商業(yè)模仿。
【答案解析】
67.B
語境分析：本空位于第一段第二句。本段第一句意為“對于我來說，很難判斷‘流行音樂’的意思是‘寫給大眾的音樂’還是‘僅指人們所喜歡的音樂”’。根據(jù)第二句中的same可以推知爵士樂的定義也存在著同樣的問題，所選選項不僅應能表達這一意思，還應能與with搭配，比較四項可知B為正確答案。詞義分析：take with“攜帶”;exist with“與……共存”;start with“由……開始”;correlate with“與……相關”。
68.C
語境分析：本空位于第一段第三句。結合第二句的語境可知本句所要表達的意思是“因為有太多不同種類的音樂曾經被稱為爵士樂……”，分析四個選項可知c項符合題意。詞義分析：group“組”;field“領域”;type“類型，種類”;definition“定義”。
69.D
語境分析：本空仍位于第一段第三句。由上文可知“因為有太多不同種類的音樂曾經被稱為爵士樂，所以很難判斷真正的爵士樂是什么”，比較容易得知選項D符合題意。
詞義分析：simple“簡單的”;free“自由的”;interesting“有興趣的”;hard“困難的”。
70.C
語境分析：本空位于第一段第四句。解答本題需要結合常識，爵士樂起源于非洲，最初是美國的黑人奴隸表達情感的音樂形式。因此本句的意思應該是：“爵士樂一直被認為是黑人音樂……”，叉因為空格后面是to be，比較四個選項可知應為“considered to be(被認為是)”。詞義分析：advise“建議”;regard“認為”，后面的介詞應為as;consider“認為，視為”;agree“同意”。
71.C
語境分析：本空位于第一段第四句。結合四個選項可知，“——an interest in it”應是指“對……感興趣”。正確答案是C項，take all interest in為固定搭配，應注意掌握。本句意為“爵士樂一直被認為是黑人音樂，但是當我最初對爵士樂感興趣的時候，我常常聽到白人樂隊演奏像路易斯•阿姆斯特朗在20世紀20年代演奏的那種音樂”。
詞義分析：begin“開始”;start“開始”;have“有”。
72.A
語境分析：本空位于第一段第五句。，分析上句和本句可知作者的敘述遵循的是時間順序，上句發(fā)生在前，本句發(fā)生在后，故選擇A項。本句意為“我后來才得知他們是通過播放路易斯•阿姆斯特朗的唱片才學會的……”。
詞義分析：afterwards“后來，以后”;hence“因此”;therefore“因此”;however“然而”。
73.B
語境分析：本空位于第一段第五句。根據(jù)空格后面的…was close enough to his可知要想和路易斯演奏得相像，不是聽一遍唱片就能做到的，而要經過很多遍的練習才可以，B項符合題意。
詞義分析：once again“再一次”;0ver and over again“一遍又一遍地，反復”;more and more times“越來越多遍”;the most times possible“可能的最多的遍數(shù)”。
74.B
語境分析：本空仍位于第一段第五句。承接上文中的…they learnt to do this by playing his records…可知白人樂隊是在模仿路易斯，結合四個選項可知B項符合題意。句子意為“……他們一遍一遍地播放路易斯的唱片，直到他們的演奏風格和路易斯的演奏風格足夠接近，因此能夠模仿他”。
詞義分析：follow“跟隨”;imitate“模仿”;honor“以……為榮”;remember“記住”。
75.B
語境分析：本空位于第二段第一句。分析語境可知Bob Dylan是白人歌手中的一位，故選擇B項。本句句意為“從那時起，像鮑勃•迪倫這樣的白人歌手重新發(fā)現(xiàn)了他們自己民族的…...”。
詞義分析：as“作為”;like“像……”;for example“例如”，后多接句子;for instance“例如”。與for example類似。
76.C
語境分析：本空仍位于第二段第一句。根據(jù)逗號之后的instead of borrowing from black roots可知，像鮑勃•迪倫這樣的白人歌手并沒有借用黑人的傳統(tǒng)，而是重新發(fā)現(xiàn)了他們自己民族的傳統(tǒng)。分析四個選項可知C項符合題意。tradition與roots為同義轉述。
詞義分析：achievement“成就”;glory“光榮”;tradition“傳統(tǒng)”;custom“習慣”。
77.C
語境分析：本空位于第二段第二句。分析語境可知本句句意為“但是——1960年，主要的變化已經是社會和技術方面的變革”。句子的時態(tài)是現(xiàn)在完成時have been，因此C項since應為正確答案。
詞義分析：before“在……之前”;afterwards“以后”;since“自從”;during“在……期間”。
78.D
語境分析：本空位于第二段第三句。本文主要講述的是音樂的發(fā)展，故D項符合題意。本句意為“變化之一是年輕人在他們年齡較小的時候有更多的錢花在唱片上……”。
詞義分析：television“電視”;movie“電影”;book“書”;record“唱片”。語境分析：本空仍位于第二段第三句。這是一個比較結構，應是將現(xiàn)在的年輕人對唱片的購買力與過去對比，故B項used to符合題意。相當于后面省略了have。
詞義分析：used“(過去)用”;used to“過去常常”;usually had可用于表示“過去常常……”;would是表示過去將來時的助動詞。
80.A
語境分析：本空依然位于第二段第三句。承接…have more money to spendon records…可知“Tin Pan Alley(錫盤巷)，’這一流行音樂產業(yè)將青少年作為主要聽眾。四個選項中A項aims符合文意，且能與空格后
的at搭配，故為正確答案。
詞義分析：aim“以……為目標”，aim at意為“瞄準，針對”;agree“同意”;shoot“射擊”;fly“飛”。
81.B
語境分析：本空位于第二段第四句。由前文中的the main changes…one is that young people have more money…可知本句是在說另外一個變化，應選B項，構成Another is that…這一結構，意為“另外一個變化是電子設備已經發(fā)展到了非常先進的水平……”。
詞義分析：the latest“最新的”;another“另一個”;the next“下一個”;the following“接下來”。
82.D
語境分析：本空還位于第二段第四句。分析空格后的…that technicians are now capable of mixing sound to produce recordings…可知技術發(fā)展得非常先進，音效師已經能夠把各種聲音合成到一起，可知應為has developed to such an extent that結構，D項正確。to a/some extent為慣用搭配，表示“到某種程度”。
詞義分析：exrant“現(xiàn)存的”;extension“延展;擴充”;expanse“廣闊的區(qū)域或領域”;extent“程度”。
83.C
語境分析：本空依然位于第二段第四句。由上下文語境可知，音效師已經能夠把各種聲音合成到一起，這樣制作出來的作品將與現(xiàn)場演奏有很大的不同。解答本題的關鍵在于掌握live除了“生活，生存”之外的含義，還能用作形容詞，表示“現(xiàn)場表演的;直播的”。本題應選C。
詞義分析：alive“活的”;lively“生動的”;live“現(xiàn)場表演的”;living“活的”。
84.A
語境分析：本空位于第三段第一句。本句意為“但popmusic(既可理解為流行音樂，也可理解為大眾音樂)的真正問題在于‘TinPanAlley(錫盤巷)’總是抵制其‘屬于人民的——音樂’這一本性”，根據(jù)現(xiàn)有信息可能比較難選出答案，我們可以在后文中找到解題的線索。該段第二句提到it——everything original and natural out or it and——it with cheap commercial imitations，而該段則末尾提到“They’ve alwavs Dreferredthe second rate songs(他們總是偏愛二流歌曲)”。綜合來看，Tin Pan Alley應是去除了original and natural的元素。這些都屬于genuine的特征，故本題選A。
詞義分析：genuine"真正的，真實的”;artificial“人工的”;true“真的”;original“原創(chuàng)的，原來的”。
85.B
語境分析：本空位于第三段第二句。聯(lián)系后文中的“cheap commercial imitations(廉價的商業(yè)模仿)”可知，本句意為“它去除了一切原創(chuàng)的和自然的成分”，然后用庸俗的模仿進行替代。故B符合題意。
詞義分析：get sth.out of…“從……中找出……”;take sth.out of…“從……中把……拿出來”;draw out“抽出，取出”;make sth.out of…“用……制造……”。
86.D
語境分析：本空仍位于第三段第二句。根據(jù)上面幾題的分析以及文章結尾處的句子可知，他們是用廉價的商業(yè)仿制品來代替原創(chuàng)的和自然的成分。D項符合題意。
詞義分析：altemate"輪流，交替”;change“變化”;provide“提供”;substitute“代替”。
Part VI Translation
87.whether(it is)heated or not
【考點】讓步狀語從句的用法。
【解析】要表示“物質不管是否被加熱都無法溶于水”，需要讓步狀語從句，應由whether…or not…引導。
“是否加熱”其實含有被動的含義，應譯為heated or not，it is可以加也可以不加。
88.she(would)pay the money back on time
【考點】虛擬語氣的用法。
【解析】“按時”應譯為on time。“還錢”應譯為pay the money back。It is+表示推斷的詞(necessary/important/essential/vital等)+that從句，that從句中應使用虛擬語氣，表示重要性、可能性或吃驚等含義。“還錢”是將來可能發(fā)生的動作，因此應該用“would+動詞原形”，would可以省略。
89.consider the consequences of our actions或take into consideration/account the consequences of our actions
【考點】“考慮”和“這樣做的后果”的譯法。
【解析】“考慮”既可以簡單譯為consider，也可譯為take into consideration或take into account。“這樣做的后果”可譯為the consequences of our actions。
90.will we be the first to use nuclear weapons
【考點】under no circumstances和at no time引起的倒裝句c
【解析】under no circumstances意為“決不。無論如何”，at no time意為“絕不，從不”，用于句首時句子要部分倒裝.將謂語提到主語的前面。“首先做某事”應譯為be the first to do sth。“核武器”應譯為nuclear weapons。
91.Compared with the students in remote and poor areas，When(they are)compared with the students in remote and poor areas
【考點】“與……相比”這一短語的譯法;非謂語動詞(過去分詞)作狀語。
【解析】“與……相比”應譯為compared with，在句首可以直接引導狀語，也可以譯為時問狀語從句When(they are)compared with…。“偏遠窮困”應譯為remote and poor areas。
