1、Gun Rights in the US
Immediately after the shooting at Virginia Tech University, Americans gathered to mourn (致哀) the dead. The president and the state governer both hurried there to share the grief. But the majority of Americans still cling to their right to own weapons.
Strictly speaking, the US is not the only country here gun violence has destroyed lives, families and communities in everyday circumstance. But the US is one of the few countries that seem unwilling and politically incapable of doing anything serious to stop it.
In countries like Britain and Canada, the government adopted strict gun control soon after serious gun violence incidents. US leaders, however, are held hostage by the gun lobby (院外活動(dòng)集團(tuán)) and the electoral (選舉) system.
The powerful National Rifle Association, the major supporter of gun rights in the US, is too strong for any party to take on. Most Republicans oppose gun control anyway. Over the years, the Democrats have found that they can either campaign for gun control or win power, not both, they prefer power.
According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, firearm (火器) incidents accounted for nine percent of the 4.7 million violent crimes in 2005. So although opinion polls show most Americans want stricter gun laws, many people don't want to give up their arms they keep to protect themselves.
Dave Hancock, a Virginia gun lover, is one example. In an interview he said, "If one professor in the Virginia incident had been carrying a legal weapon, they might have been able to stop all this. "In his opinion, the massacre (大屠殺) is an argument for more people to carry weapons, not fewer.
Americans' clinging to the right to bear arms is not just a fear of crime, but a mistrust of government, commented UK's Guardian newspaper.
One Virginia resident, who had a permit to carry a concealed (隱藏的) firearm, told the Guardian that it was every American's responsibility to have a gun.
"Each person," he said, "should not rely solely ____ the government for protection."

2、A Country's Standard of Living
The "standard of living" of any country means the average person's share of the goods and services the country produces. A country's standard of living, therefore, depends first on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods such as food and clothing", and "services" such as transport and entertainment.
A country's capacity to ____ wealth depends upon many factors most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some region of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have fertile (肥沃的) soil and a favorable climate, other regions possess none of them.
Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use, China is perhaps as rich as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, For this and other reasons it was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, to produce more wealth than other country.
A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is directly produced through international trade. For example, Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus (剩余的) manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products which would otherwise be lacking. A country's wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, providing that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.

4、A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e - mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. ____ The law went into force last month, following research and a shocking number of accidents that involved. people using electronic gadgets (小巧機(jī)械) when crossing the street.
Who's to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking (多任務(wù)處理) abilities are limited. "We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist (神經(jīng)科學(xué)家) in Tennessee. "But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once."
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question. A group of 18 to 21 years old and a group of 35 to 39 years old were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or an instant message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and accuracy.
It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business - research firm, estimates that the cost of interruptions to the American economy is nearly $650 billion a year, The estimate is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.

5、Britain's Solo Sailor
Ellen MacArthur started sailing when she was eight, going out on sailing trips with her aunt. She loved it so much that she saved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat. When she was 18, she sailed alone around Britain and won the "Young Sailor of the Year" award.
Ellen became famous in 2001. Aged only 24, she was one of the only two women who entered the Vendee Globe round the world solo race, which lasts 100 days. Despite of many problems, she came the second in the race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned.
Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen's personality. When she was younger, she lived in a kind of hut (棚屋) for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship to compete in a transatlantic race. Then she took a one - way ticket to France, bought a tiny seven meter Class Mini yacht (游艇), slept under it while she was repairing it, and then she raced it 4,000 kilometres across the Atlantic in 1997, alone for 33 days.
Ellen has to learn many things, because sailing single - handed means that she has to be her own captain, electrician, sailmaker, engineer, doctor, journalist, cameraman and cooker, She also has to be very fit, and because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time she's in the middle of the ocean, she has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time.
And she needs courage. Once, in the middle of the ocean, she had to climb the mast (桅桿) of a boat to repair the sails at four o'clock in the morning, with 100 kph winds blowing around her. It took her many hours to make the repairs, Ellen says: "I was exhausted when came down. It's hard to describe how it feels to be up there. It's like trying to hold onto a big pole, which for me is just too big to get my arms around, with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off".
But in her diary, Ellen also describes moments which is worthwhile (值得的) :"A beautiful sunrise started the day, with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun. I have a very strong feeling of pleasure, being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this. I just feel lucky to be here."
The word "solo" in the title could be best replaced by ____. 【單選題】

A.single - handed

B.self - made

C.one performer

D.self - starter

正確答案:A

答案解析:本題是詞義題，難度不大，考查的是基本意義，不需要查詢(xún)引申意義。此外，文中第四段開(kāi)頭，because sailing single - handed means ……“Ellen必須學(xué)會(huì)許多事情，因?yàn)閱为?dú)航行意味著……”A復(fù)制了文章原話(huà)，是答案。

7、One-Room Schools
One-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States, and the mention of them makes people feel a longing for "the way things were." One - room schools are an endangered species (種類(lèi)), however. For more than a hundred years, one - room schools have been systematically shut down and their students were sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one - room schools in the United States. By 1970 there were 1,800. Today, of the nearly 800 remaining one - room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are spread through a few other states that have on their road maps wide - open spaces between towns.
Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one - room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today. Progressive educators have come up with new names like "peer - group teaching" and "multi - age grouping" for educational procedures that occur naturally in the one - room schools. In a one - room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. The fourth grader can work at the fifth grade level in math and the third grade level in English without the bad name associated with being left back or the pressures of being skipped (超過(guò)) ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separated from other pupils. A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one - room school.
It can be learned from paragraph 2 that many parents in Nebraska ____.【單選題】

A.don't like centralized schools

B.come from other states

C.received education in one - room schools

D.prefer rural life

正確答案:A

答案解析:本題有一定的難度，考生不太好定位，需要認(rèn)真讀第二段找答案。第二段最后一句談到，“許多父母認(rèn)為住在內(nèi)布拉斯加州，有一個(gè)好處就是孩子能夠去大教室學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)”，換句話(huà)說(shuō)，“家長(zhǎng)們都不喜歡政府的集中化管理學(xué)?！??；貋?lái)看選項(xiàng)，A是近義解釋?zhuān)亲罴汛鸢?。做本題時(shí)可以先看選項(xiàng)，得到信息提示。

8、Pronouncing a Language
Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even fairly proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the basic reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do native language is that they fail to understand the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill----one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be gained by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while realizing the importance of a good accent, often neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place.
Besides this question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge; the second, technique.
It is also possible to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture, any comments he may make on his students' pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use, and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time wasted.
According to the writer, what are teachers likely to ignore?【單選題】

A.The practical techniques of teaching

B.The importance of a good accent

C.The teaching of spelling and grammar

D.The teaching of pronunciation

正確答案:D

答案解析:從第1段第6句可知，甚至教語(yǔ)言的老師，即便知道好的口音的重要性，在實(shí)際教學(xué)中也常常忽略這種和語(yǔ)言有關(guān)的學(xué)科，因此答案是D。

9、Operatunity
1. Operatunity is a TV talent show for amateur opera singers, The winners get the chance to sing with the English National Opera. When two housewives, Denise Leigh and Jane Gilchrist won in 2002, their lives changed forever, As they sang Verdi's Rigoletto at the Coliseum (音樂(lè)廳) in Rome, they were transformed from working mothers into opera celebrities (名人).
2. "I live in the village I was born in," says Denise, who is blind. "Lots of my neighbours are family, and my life is all about my three children. Jane, who worked as a cleaner and a shop assistant, was in a similar situation." She says. All I had to look forward to was seeing my four children grow up, and I love them, but ... you know there must be more things than life. Winning Operatunity has opened up avenues I never knew existed."
3. "Last year was amazing," Denise continues, "Last month was Paris, before that we were recording at Abbey Road, in London, and recently we had our album launch at the Royal Opera House" "We've been treated like princesses," laughs Jane, "... champagne, chocolates, five - star hotels ..."
4. But it wasn't all so easy. For Denise, the worst part was waiting at the beginning. "After I'd sent in my application form I worried for a month, Then I had to wait ten days after my first audition (試唱). That was awful." Even when they won the competition they were allowed to tell their close family but they weren't allowed to tell anyone else until later. Denise and Jane also found the travelling is difficult. They couldn’t take their children with them while they were away singing, so they had to organise childcare. However, there's been no problem with the physical side of singing: "We didn't have to worry about that as we've had lots of help and wonderful voice training." says Jane. They also had to learn to deal with the media." The kids loved the fact that they could stay up and watch us on TV, but I just couldn't understand why some newspapers were more interested in the fact I divorced at 21, rather than the fact I had just sung at the Coliseum, says Denise.
Paragraph 4 ____【單選題】

A.Advice

B.Living the new life

C.The competition

D.Becoming famous

E.Their lives before

F.The difficult parts

正確答案:F
