Passage Two

In 2000, with little but a bar and a church left to make it a destination, tiny St. James, Nebraska, was taken off state highway maps. Then the church closed, and the small farm village in the state´s northeast comer looked set to just disappear. Thanks to five devoted women, it didn´t.

In May 2001, after meeting with staff from the Center for Rural Affairs, the friends--Louise Guy, Vicky Koch, Jeanette Pinkelman, Mary Rose Pinkelman and Violet Pinkelman--opened a weekend market for vendors （小商贩） to sell handcrafts and local food.

We felt like, what can we do to bring the community together? says Mary Rose Pinkelman. We decided to make a place to sell local goods. They set up shop in the church school, which, though closed for nearly 40 years, had been well maintained. The first weekend, 16 vendors took over an old classroom. The result was ah instant hit. Today, the market draws up to 70 vendors--who sell such items as homemade jellies, baked goods, hand-woven rugs, and farm-grown produce--and what Pinkelman calls an unexpected number of visitors. In the process, the market has made St. James a destination again, putting it back on the state road map.

【翻译】由于五位妇女的共同努力，一个从公路版图上消失的小村庄又重新返回到地图上。

在2000年，随着村里的最后那个教堂的关闭，小村子在公路版图上消失了。2001年的五月，五个朋友会见了有关部门以后，决定利用该村废弃多年的教堂，在周末开办本地产品的销售市场。她们的事业迅速成功了，越来越多的小商贩来到这里，从第一个周末的十六家商贩，到今天发展到七十家，商人们贩卖手工艺品、当地食物、农产品等等，同时也意外的吸引来了大量的游客，所以这个小村子就再次回到地图上。

40. According to Paragraph 1, what fate was St. James, Nebraska suffering?

A. The replacement of the church school. B. The disappearance from highway maps.

C. The closedown of the bar. D. The set-up of a market.

【答案】 B

【解析】该题为细节归纳题。答案可以从第一段的第一句：只剩下一个小酒馆、一座教堂，使得Nebraska的小镇圣。詹姆士，被从美国的高速路地图上除名了；第二句的主句部分：注定要消失了，故选B。

41. St. James in this passage is

A. a small village B. a little farm

C. a tiny city D. a little town

43. St. James has been put back to the state road map due to

A. the efforts of five women B. the efforts of the Center for Rural Affairs

C. the vendors in the local place D. the unexpected number of visitors

【答案】 A

Passage Three

Romeo and Juliet was probably written in 1595, when Shakespeare was a young, successful playwright. He had already written comedies and history plays, but had not yet developed his skill at tragedy.

The power of fate is strong in Shakespeare´s play. Chance and evil eventually join to bring tragedy. Chance involves Romeo in a murder; chance prevents a message from reaching Romeo in time; chance brings about a deadly meeting in a cemetery.

Many Elizabethans were followers of astrology （星相术） and believed that the stars could control events. Thus, Romeo and Juliet are referred to as star-crossed lovers whose stars doomed （命中注定）them to disaster.

Elizabethans also had a concept of fate in the person of Dame Fortune （命运女神）. By spinning her wheel, she could raise the state of a beggar or lower that of a king. One of the fascinations of Shakespeare is the way in which he put these ideas into the play.

One of the most difficult things to decide about this play is the question of responsibility. Did irresistible fate bring tragedy to Romeo and Juliet, or were they themselves to blame? The fact that this question is not resolved by the author also helps to make Shakespeare´s Romeo and Juliet a fascinating work.

【翻译】莎士比亚的悲剧罗密欧与朱丽叶。文章第一段首先说了罗密欧与朱丽叶可能作于1595年，那时年轻的莎士比亚并不擅长写悲剧，他是一个成功的写喜剧和历史剧的剧作家。

作者认为莎士比亚的戏剧中有很强的宿命论因素，机遇和邪恶共同造就了悲剧。罗密欧和朱丽叶俩人的星座相克，命中注定要遭灾，谁应当对罗密欧与朱丽叶的悲剧负责任？这个问题尚未解决。

44. According to Paragraph 1, Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet

A. when he succeeded in comedies and history plays

B. after he had developed his skill in tragedy

C. before he wrote comedies and history plays

D. when he was no longer young

【答案】 A

【解析】该题细节归纳题。第一段就两句话。把第一句的后半截连同第二句的前半截结合起来理解，就能得出答案是A；其他三项都是故意与文中的事实拧着说的，起到干扰结论的作用。

45. According to the passage, chance

A. involves Juliet in a murder

B. sends Romeo and Juliet into evil-doing

C. causes late arrival of a message for Romeo

D. leads to a happy meeting between Romeo and Juliet

【答案】 C

【解析】该题为事实细节题。答案可以从第二段中提到的几个排比句中得出，稍微仔细一点儿，只有C说得对：A项中应该是指Romeo才对；B中的说法就没提到，跟剧情也不符合；D项中内容是对对最后一句原有内容的篡改。

46. The passage indicates that Shakespeare put into Romeo and Juliet.

A. historical events B. Elizabethan beliefs

C. his personal experience D. political issues at the time

【答案】 B

【解析】该题为事实细节题。答案可以从第三段得出，其他三个选择，都可以说是在本篇没提到的信息，不能加进来做为这个题目的依据；或者说只是站到读者的角度，妄加联想出来的。

47. What is unresolved about this play is

A. who is responsible for the tragedy

B. whether Romeo and Juliet are tragic characters

C. what the most fascinating element of the play is

D. how tragic fate can be avoided

【答案】 A

【解析】本题为事实细节题。该问题可以从最后一段的第一句就能得出；这一句是是该段的主题句，这之后的几句都是围绕它展开的。

Passage Four

Friends become a child´s chosen family. If his social life is going well, he gains confidence. If he has trouble connecting, it hurts and can make him feel sad and withdrawn and lonely.

1. Help your child communicate. Naturally outgoing kids have an easier time expressing their interest in other children than shy ones do. But you can help build this skill through practice. Ask your child about his favorite games and toys. Praise him for specifics when he shows interest in other people: You were so nice to let Roger talk about his little dog. I am proud of you.

2. Keep play short and sweet. Parents should keep early play dates short, so no one gets too tired and everyone has fun. Schedule the next one soon after that, so kids can quickly build on their comfort foundation.

3. Know your child. If your child is bossy, talk with him and agree beforehand on which toys will be shared and which ones should be put away because your child just can´t seem to share them. If you have a shy child, match him with a younger child so he has a chance to be the leader.

4. Help your child help others. Encourage your child to be a better friend by helping him include others in play. If you see someone being excluded, don´t ignore it. This is an opportunity to work on your child´s ability to understand others. Rachel is being left out. That must make her feel very sad. Can you think of a way to include her in the game?

5. Help your kids help themselves. If your child is the one who´s being ignored or treated badly, teach him to speak up.

【文章大意】主要介绍了如何帮助你的孩子交朋友。

首先说明了孩子交友的重要意义。孩子的交友就像他们选择家庭一样，如果社会交往顺利，孩子就会自信，如果交友不顺，他们就会受到伤害，也可能感到悲哀、退步和孤独。

文章随后从五个方面介绍说明如何帮助你的孩子。

48. Which Word can best describe a child who is good at connecting?

A. Bossy. B. Confident.

C. Proud. D. Showy.

【答案】 B

【解析】本题为事实细节题。问题中的connecting一词，是在第一段第三句出现的；第二句说到：假如孩子的社交生活进展顺利，他就会获得自信；第三句是：若他在与人打交道方面有问题，，两句结合起来考虑，答案B是对的。

49. According to the passage, parents can help their children communicate by .

A. showing their own interest in other children

B. encouraging their interest in other children

C. playing games with them

D. buying them more toys

【答案】 B

【解析】本题为推理判断题。文章从第二段开始给父母一些帮助孩子建立自信的具体做法，做法一中的第三、第四句提到询问，表扬，考生要能提炼出正确答案B；A选项中动作词show跟问句中的人称是反的，C、D两项差不多是顺着本篇发挥出来的。

50. The phrase left out in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to .

A. neglected B. criticised

C. not included D. not respected

【答案】 C

【解析】本题为词语理解题。做法四告诉我们怎么帮助孩子去学会他人。其中第二句提到：如果你看到有人被排除在外，不要不管；第三句：这是一个极好的培养孩子理解他人的机会；left out是在接下来的那句中出现的，其义只能是C了。

51. What is probably the best title for the passage?

A. How to Help Your Child Help Others B. How to Educate a Shy Child

Passage Five

Memory is the ability to keep track of things that have happened in the past. Memory really is learning. One needs memory to ride a bicycle. A dog needs to remember if it is to Come when called.

Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a memory trace （记忆痕）. What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark.

Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person memorize the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another method is called recognition. Give the person another grocery list. Ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person will be able to recognize things that he or she cannot recall. A third method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person has remembered.

One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked with reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.

【文章大意】关于记忆力的一篇研究报告。

记忆力是一种能力，有了这个能力就可以记住过去发生的事情。但是很难说明记忆痕由什么构成。心理学家利用三种方式揭示出人的记忆：其一是回忆，其二是识别，其三是再学习。

对此，作者在文中分别举例进行了说明。短文的最后一段说明，要想记住某事的一种方法是多次重复。但是重复无意义的东西却很难记住，所以兴趣和动机两者都是很重要的。动机与回报有关系，例如：饥饿的动物学动作会很快，因为它们可以得到食物作为奖赏

52. We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that .

A. bad memories may cause rats to fear the dark

B. it is hard to tell what a memory trace consists of

C. chemical substances carry certain memories

D. memory is stored in the brain as a substance

【答案】 B

【解析】该题为主旨大意题。文章讲到：据说记忆储存在脑子的记忆痕里，什么构成这些记忆痕尚不知道，有些科学家相信某些化学物质可能就携带得有某些记忆，比如有一种给老鼠的物质，会让他们从而害怕黑暗。考生读完该段落，要明白C、D都只是该段中的一个用来说明性的素材，而A就是对最后一句的曲解，故选B。

53. The way to pick out the items on the first list from the second is known as .

A. recognition B. recall C. memorization D. relearning

【答案】 A

【解析】本题为推理判断题。其正确答案可以从第三段中找到：在第二行中看出回忆能力的实验；接着就提出另外一个方法辨认：给测试对象的还是那份杂货单，但是要求测试对象从此单子中选出，该小题题目中对句中的choose from ，等于是提出了一个理解问题的出处。

54. What is considered as a measure of how much one has remembered?

A. The length of the list. B. The type of list items.

C. The time difference of relearning. D. The time difference of brain working.

【答案】 C

【解析】本题为词语理解题。第三段的最后一句，就直接告诉考生答案了：The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person has remembered.此句中的 is thought of as 就相当于is regarded as/is considered。

55. A good way to train an animal to do something quickly is to .

A. make the action easy B. praise it in words

C. reward it with food D. weaken its motivation

【答案】 C

【解析】本题为事实细节题。文章最后一段第三行讲到：动机与奖赏有联系；接着就是拿饥饿动物在什么条件下会来打比方，因此本题答案不难看出就是C。
