8、control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a
9、 way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As on Norwegian politician said last week: “We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”LEver since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development i
10、n the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: Tromso(特罗姆瑟ks5u挪威北部港市)has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and
11、 within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.wThe effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their wo
12、rkers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.IThe real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of i
13、t, because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.o2The Norwegian Government would
14、 prefer the oil industry to0A provide more jobs for foreign workers.JB slow down the rate of its development.WC sell the oil it is producing abroad.sD develop more quickly than at present.a3The Norwegian Government has tried toAA encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources.AB prevent oil
15、 companies employing people from northern Norway.+C help the oil companies solve many of their problems.oD keep the oil industry to something near its present size.H4According to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern Norway to+A the development of industry.6B a growth in population.CC th
16、e failure of the development programme.0D the development of new towns.A5In the south, one effect to the development of the oil industry might be/A a large reduction on unemployment.QB a growth in the tourist industry.=C a reduction in the number of existing industries.=D the development of a number
17、 of service industries.6Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence becauseA they form such a large part of Norwegian ideal.B their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal.C their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society.D they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian
18、 way of life.(二)2B3D4C5C6B文章论述“挪威政府意欲控制石油工业”。采用对比写法。先提出政府新政策的种种限制。但石油工业有办法对付。人们都认为限制难以长久。其次讲述,从战时起,挪威政府一直执行开发北极圈北部地区的发展规划,也取得成功。但石油工业已经开始向南方进军,北方政策可能会失败。石油工业之影响超出北方,有些企业缩小,减少。最后一段是讲争论的焦点:石油对挪威生活方式构成了威胁,具体表现在对挪威理想的代表渔民和农民的威胁。答案详解2 减慢发展速率。文章开始就阐明挪威政府正竭尽全力把石油工业控制起来,制定新法律来限制勘探开采,限制产量,限制雇佣外国工人人数。A. 为外国工人
19、提供更多的工作。C.卖掉正在国外生产的石油。D.比现在发展更快。3使石油工业保持在接近现在的规模。A. 鼓励石油公司去发现新石油资源。B.制止石油公司雇佣来自挪威北方的人。C.帮助石油公司解决许多问题。4发展规划的失败。这在第二段最后一句:“可是石油工业已经开始把人们吸引到南方去,所以不出几年,整个北方政策可能成泡影。”A.工业发展。B.人口增长。D.新城市的发展。文内没有涉及。5 现存工业数的减少。第三段开始“可是石油工业的影响并不仅仅限于北方。近百分之一百的就业率,使每个人都见到发展的势头,服务业和旅游业的好多工人转向石油工业。某些较小的工业,在从国外购进货物更便宜的情况下,很可能会全部消

21、oward isnt among most directors. Despite an impressive list of credits, A Beautiful Mind is his most successful work to date, combining a psychological drama with a moving love story to produce a film that is as interesting as it is entertaining. The Oscar winning Russell Crowe has put himself in li
22、ne for further honors with his acting John Nash, the Nobel Prize winning mathematician troubled by schizophrenia (精神分裂症). A Beautiful Mind pictures Nash as an unusual hero,not just because of his academic achievements but also because of the courage he displays while battling his illness In 1947, Na
23、sh was one of many great young minds at Princeton. “To find a truly original idea is the only way to distinguish myself,” the proud and determined student declared. His exploration of such an idea afforded him little time for the normal socializing. His shyness and straight forward approach brought
24、him few friends. After finally hitting on a revolutionary new idea, Nashs career took off and his reputation as secured. He balanced research work with teaching, which is where he met the bright and beautiful student Alicia (played by Jennifer Connelly). Things in his life were going well when his t
25、alent for code breaking brought him to the attention of the military that employed him during the early stage of the cold war with Russia. However, the stress of his work made Nashs illness develop Crowes performance is perfect. He and Connelly ignite (make something exciting) the films passionate l
26、ove story and Connellys wonderful performance makes the audience moved by Alicia, whose courage, strength and faith in her husband are the primary reasons for his recovery.7This passage is most probably _ A. a book review B. a movie reviewC. a movie posterD. an advertisement8Which can replace the un
27、derlined phrase “hitting on” in the fourth paragraph?A. coming up with B. coming onC. putting onD. putting up with9 The following statements are true EXCEPT that _ A. John Nash did not go mad totally B. Ran Howard is an outstanding director C. the stress of the academic work caused Nashs illness D.
28、Nashs concentration on his work and his shyness brought him few friends10 We can infer from the text that _ A. John Nash volunteered to serve in the army in spite of his illness B. John Nash gave up his career when troubled by schizophrenia C. Russell Crowe won another Oscar Award after this movie D
29、. without Alicia, John Nash wouldnt have recovered from his illness(三) 7 B 8 A9 C 10D(四)Researchers conducting a study of hospital stays for over two hundred and eighty six thousand older folks found something interesting in their data.The number of hospitalizations for heart disease and stroke went
30、 down significantly among a certain group of people at a certain time of year. What folks, and what time of year, you ask? Flu season and the lucky people were the ones who got flu shots (流感疫苗).Its generally recommended that people over fifty get their flu shots every year. Influenza (流行性感冒) is no s
31、mall thing. its responsible for around thirty six thousand deaths a year in the U. S. alone. Getting the shots also cuts down on the chances of getting pneumonia (肺炎), which is especially dangerous in seniors.But what wasnt known was that there seems to be an added benefit to getting a flu shots in
32、terms of warding off heart problems. The data, in fact, are quite strong in suggesting this is the case.In this study, flu shots cut clown the number of hospitalizations for heart disease by nineteen percent. Stroke went down sixteen percent one season and a whopping twenty-three percent a second se
33、ason. These are big results.So whats the connection between getting a flu shot and having a stronger heart? It isnt yet known.Researchers speculate that the flu virus itself may do damage to blood vessels (血管), possibly making clots (血块) more likely. Blood clots in the heart can cause heart attacks,
34、 and blood clots in the brain can cause strokes.Whatever the specific details are, theres one more good reason to follow your doctor s advice and get that annual flu shot.11According to the study, the number of hospitalizations for heart disease and stroke went down significantly among the ones who
35、_.A. got flu shots after they were illB. got flu shots before they were illC. got flu shots at the flu season D. got flu shots whenever convenient12The benefits of getting flu shots can be listed except that_.A. it can cut down on the chances of getting pneumoniaB. it can cut down the number of hosp
36、italizations for heart diseaseC. it can kill the flu virusD. if can make blood clots13The underlined phrase warding off probably means_.A. keeping away B. dealing withC. setting off D. picking up14According to the passage, wed better _.A. work out to fight against influenzaB. get flu shot every year
37、C. follow our doctors all adviceD. protect our blood vessels(四)11C12D13A14B试题分析:一定恨透了流感吧?头疼脑热,四肢无力,涕泪四流但你是否知道偶尔患患流感能降低罹患心脏病与中风的危险呢?让我们一起来听听研究人员的新发现吧。11C细节理解题。由“Flu season and the lucky people were the ones who got flu shots(流感疫苗).”可知接种了流感疫苗的人患心脏病和中风更少些,故选C。12D细节理解题。由“Researchers speculate that the f
38、lu virus itself may do damage to blood vessels(血管), possibly making clots(血块)more likely. ”可知血液会更快速的凝结成块,这会在心脏里堆积导致心脏病 ,故选D。13A词义猜测题 。从上下文可知流感疫苗有某种好处,所以推断是“避免”心脏病 。keeping away 远离;dealing with处理;setting off使爆炸;picking up捡起,故选A。14B细节理解题。由“Whatever the specific details are, theres one more good reason
39、 to follow your doctor s advice and get that annual flu shot.”可知每年接种流感疫苗更安全些,故选B。(五)As they migrate (迁移), butterflies and moths choose the winds they want to fly with, and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction. This new finding suggests that insects may emplo
40、y some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances. Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind. Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because many long distant trips happen thousand
41、s of feet above ground. Only recently have scientists developed technologies that can detect (测出) such little creatures at such great heights.To their surprise, though, the insects werent passive travelers on the winds. In autumn, for example, most light winds blew from the east, but the insects som
42、ehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wintering homes. Even in the spring, when most winds flowed northward, the insects didnt always go with the flow. If breezes werent blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go, the insects
43、changed their body positions to compensate (补偿). Many migrating birds do the same thing.The study also found, butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along. By adding flight speeds to wind speeds, the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as
44、fast as 100 kilometers an hour. The findings may have real-world applications. With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops. 15Whats the main idea of the text? A. Insects migrate with the
45、 seasonsB. Wind helps insects greatly in migratingC. Windsurfing insects have real directionD. Scientists have trouble in observing insects16Scientists originally thought that _A. insects always waited for their favorable windsB. insects chose the winds they wanted to rideC. insects were just blown
46、about by the windD. insects positioned themselves in the winds17It is not easy to study the migrating behavior of the insects because _ A. the little creatures can fly very fastB. they have no regular migrating coursesC. the winds direction is hard to foresee D. their flight is long and high above g
47、round18We can learn from the text that _ A. insects fly in the way birds doB. insects travel more easily in autumnC. insects never position themselves when flying low D. insects rest a lot when the wind pushes them along19According to the passage, the findings can_ A. increase insects in number Bins
48、truct farmers when to sprayC. prevent climate warming Dhelp protect insects(五)15C16C17D18A19B试题分析:本文是说明文,在讲述通过科学研究发现昆虫也有方向感,根据这一发现,农民可以根据风向来判断何时用药来消灭昆虫。15C 主旨大意。文章第一段通过蝴蝶和飞蛾会选择风向,如果方向错误,他们会改变身体的位置,This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling
49、 long distances新的研究证明,昆虫也能利用同样的方法用于长途旅行,说明昆虫也有方向感。所以选C 项。16C细节理解题。根据第一段Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind.科学家们长久以来认为昆虫受风的控制,故选C项。17D细节推断题。根据第二段提到Fascinating as their skills of flight are, migrating behavior has been difficult to study in insects because ma
50、ny long distant trips happen thousands of feet above ground.可知是因为长距离的飞行还有离地面很高,所以选D项。18A 细节理解题。根据第一段提到This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances.这个研究表明昆虫也能利用同样的与鸟一样的方法长距离的飞行,所以选A项。19B 细节推断题。根据最后一段The findings may have real-w
51、orld applications. With climate warming, migrating insects are growing in number. Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops这个发现很有世界性的应用。当天气暖和时,昆虫的数量在增加,了解何时他们会移动,就可以决定何时用药来消灭他们,所以选B项。(六)American like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,
52、000,000 people visited areas run by the National Park Service. Experts predict that by 2010, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds. The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that ther
53、e is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To cope with this problem, national parks may require reservations (预约)months in advance for some spots. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees at these places. Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. So
54、me garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, officials may decrease(减少) the number of cars allowed in parks. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also l
55、imit(限制) the use of jet-skis, snowmobiles (摩托雪橇), motorboats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes. The parks are also threatened by development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many motels (汽车旅馆), golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been b
56、uilt. Some of these developments affect areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.20 By 2010, the number of visitors will rise by _.A. 250 millionB. 500 millionC.

It is reasonable to keep the balance between the development of the parks and the reserve. D. People will not visit the national parks since there are no golf c
60、ourses and resorts.24What can be inferred from the passage?A. High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.B. Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.C. The bus will become the only tool in parks with the purpose of pollution reduction. D. The National Park Service welcom

83、aurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners(小餐馆)for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons. A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasnt a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street
84、walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, peop
85、le built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate. Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included
86、soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booth
87、s, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner. Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonalds and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is s
88、till popular today.28A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. Why is the word “diner” in quotation marks(引号)?A. Because it is spelled differently from “ dinner”B.

However, the diner remains an American
93、 tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.可知这篇文章主要讲了在美国,快餐是传统的,受欢迎的吃饭的地方,故选A。(十一)The green turtle is listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Under the US. Endangered Species Act of
94、 1973, the green turtle was listed as threatened except for the breeding populations in Florida and on the Pacific coast of Mexico, where it is listed as endangered.Green turtles continue to be caught for money by humans, and the destruction and loss of nesting and foraging(觅食)sites is a serious pro
95、blem. Humans have already caused the decrease of large green turtle populations, including those that once nested in Bermuda and Cayman Islands. The situation of green turtle populations is difficult to determine because of our lack of knowledge about their life cycles. The number of nests in Florid
96、a appears to be increasing, but we dont know whether this is due to an increase in the number of nests or because we have started to monitor(监控)nesting beaches more closely.The green turtle is the largest hardshelled sea turtle. Adults of this species commonly reach 100 cm in length and 150 kg in ma

Poor empress.” “Do you think Zhen Huan really loves the emperor?” From campuses to offices, from sho
104、pping malls to the streets, talk about Legend of Zhen Huan is everywhere.Unlike other long TV series, Legend of Zhen Huan, the 76-episode Qing dynasty drama series, has kept attracting new audiences along the way. It has enjoyed widespread popularity on the Chinese mainland over the past months.The
105、story is seemingly the same as those dramas which look into the lives of women in the imperial palace.

109、themselves in Zhens position at a certain point.”Then its not hard to understand why the story of Zhen Huan is even seen as a survival guide for newcomers in the workplace. Its director, Zheng Xiaolong, once admitted that in terms of society today, the “promotion” of Zhen Huan reflects a persons car
110、eer path in some way. “Whether the principles can be applied in todays society, or not, I want to make the story as real as possible,” Zheng told S. “There are many fairytale-like series that make audiences ignore or avoid reality, and the complexity of humanity.” “But Legend of Zhen Huan, is a seri
