18、文第四段的“The topmost pot contains mud”可知，最上面的罐子里是“泥巴”。20A.bottom BtopmostClowest Dmiddle答案：D根据其前的“The topmost pot”和其后的“the lowest pot”可知，此为“中间的”罐子。21A.contained BincludedChad Downed答案：AC、D很容易排除；contain“包括”，表示物体容纳的东西；而include则指整体包含部分，这里表示罐子里边的东西，故选contained。22A.watch BcoinCwallet Dbag答案：B根据文章倒数第二段的“The
19、silver coin under the_34_of the pots” 提示可知此处为coin。23A.excited BexcitingCconfused Dconfusing答案：C因为猜不透父亲的意思，所以弟兄三人“迷惑不解”。confused的主语通常为sb.; confusing的主语通常为sth.。24A.considered BpretendedCtried Dmeant答案：D很明显，父亲是想通过这些罐子和里面的东西来向我们传达某些信息。mean“打算”，符合语境。consider“考虑”，其后跟动名词；pretend“假装”；try“尽力”。25A.none BallCb

24、ible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism(批评)”“In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the pe
25、ople around me.”She didnt care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.“Liz is someone I look up to but she hasnt spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me, Im sure she would hav

27、, Radcliffe has not ruled out(排除)in the future chasing her “final” world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five worldclass times.“I dont think thatalthough I_cant_put_a_number_on_it，” said Radcliffe. “That changes from p
28、erson to person.”Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future. Following a successful threemonth training period in the United States, the 31yearold will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.Radcli

32、nough to win the race.”和下一句话Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sundays race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.可知：保拉德克利夫的状态不是最好，在纽约举行的马拉松比赛中只是夺取了冠军，并没有涉及打破纪录；她对于自己能否打破纪录信心不足。选项C和选项D的有关内容都和“伦敦马拉松比赛有关”。38By saying “I cant put a number on it，” Radcliffe means shes not sure_.A
33、if she has the ability to set a new world recordBif she can win another race though she has won many timesChow many times a marathon runner can set the world recordDif she has the ability to produce four or five worldclass times答案：C根据第9段.and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability
34、in their career to produce only four or five worldclass times.以及“That changes from person to person.”可知：保拉德克利夫对于“马拉松运动员在其运动生涯中只能创造45次世界最好成绩”的论断并不苟同。她认为自己有能力击碎这一论断。39According to the text, Radcliffe has won_London marathon title(s)Afour BthreeCtwo Done答案：C根据第一段第一句话Paula Radcliffe, chasing a third Lon
35、don marathon title，.可知：保拉德克利夫已两次在伦敦获得马拉松冠军。40What can we learn from Radcliffes story?APractice makes perfect.BWell begun is half done.CA friend in need is a friend indeed.DWhere there is a will there is a way.答案：D马拉松运动员保拉德克利夫面对着他人的批评，通过自己不懈的努力，获得了多项比赛的胜利，夺取了多个冠军。证实了“有志者，事竟成”的道理。选项A“熟能生巧”； 选项B“好的开始是成

49、blems with Internet ShoppingDDisadvantages of Internet Shopping Are Not Serious答案：C概括归纳题。从第五段所讲的内容可以看出。第五段讲了目前网上购物的三个不利方面，这些都是为了说明网上购物除了上面讲的优点之外，目前还有一些不尽如人意之处。COne of the most difficult questions to answer is how much a job is worth. We naturally expect that a doctors salary will be higher than a bu
50、s conductors wages. But the question becomes much more difficult to answer when we compare, say a miner with an engineer, or an unskilled man working on an oilrig in the North Sea with a teacher in a secondary school. What the doctor, the engineer and the teacher have is many years of training in or
51、der to obtain the necessary qualifications for their professions. We feel instinctively that these skills and these years, when they were studying instead of earning money, should be rewarded. At the same time we recognize that the work of the miner and the oilrig laborer is both hard and dangerous,
52、 and that they must be highly paid for the risks they take.Another factor we must take into consideration is how socially useful a mans work is, regardless of the talents he may bring to it. Most people would agree that looking after the sick or teaching children is more important than，say, selling
53、secondhand cars or improving the taste of toothpaste by adding a red stripe to it. Yet it is almost certain that the usedcar salesman earns more than the nurse, and that research chemist earns more than the school teacher.Indeed, this whole question of just rewards can be turned on its head. You can
54、 argue that a man who does a job which brings him personal satisfaction is already receiving part of his reward in the form of a socalled“psychic wage”， and that it is the man with the boring, repetitive job who needs more money to make up for the souldestroying monotony of his work. It is significa
55、nt that those jobs which are traditionally regarded as“vocations”nursing, teaching and the Church, for examplecontinue to be poorly paid, while others, such as those in the world of sport or entertainment, carry financial rewards out of all proportion to their social worth.Although the amount of mon
56、ey that people earn is in reality largely determined by market forces, this should not prevent us from seeking some way to decide what is the right pay for the job. A starting point for such an investigation would be to try to decide the ratio which ought to exist between the highest and the lowest
57、paid. The picture is made more complicated by two factors：firstly by the “social wage”， ie. the welfare benefits which every citizen receives; and, secondly, by the taxation system, which is often used as an instrument of social justice by taxing high incomes at a very high rate indeed. Allowing for
58、 these two things, most countries now regard a ratio of 71 as socially acceptable. If it is less, the highlyqualified people carrying heavy responsibilities become disillusioned, and might even end up by emigration(the socalled“brain drain”is an evidence that this can happen). If it is more, the gap
59、 between rich and poor will be so great that it will lead to social tensions and ultimately to violence.46The professional man, such as the doctor, should be wellpaid because_.Ahe has spent several years learning how to do his jobBhis work involves much greater intelligence than, say, a bus conducto
60、rsChe has to work much harder than most other peopleDhe knows more than other people about his subject答案：A概括归纳题。见文章第一段第四、五句，意为：医生、工程师及教师们为获得专业资格而接受的多年的训练。我们会本能地想到他们为获得这些专业技能而花费的时间本可以用来赚钱，因此这也应该得到补偿。47The“brain drain”is evidence that_.Awelleducated people are prepared to emigrate whenever they can ge
61、t a betterpaid jobBpeople with jobs of reponsibility expect to be highly paidChigh taxation is a useful and effective instrument of social justiceDthe poor are generally more patriotic than the rich答案：B推理判断题。见文章最后一段倒数第二句，意为：如果报酬减少，那么这些肩负着重任的高素质人员会感到幻想破灭了，很可能导致移民(被称之为“人才外流”就是这种事件发生的一个证据)，从这句话看来，担负着责任
62、的人员会期望较高的报酬。48As far as rewarding people for their work is concerned, the writer believes that_.Awe should pay for sociallyuseful work, regardless of the persons talentBwe should pay people according to their talentsCmarket forces will determine how much a person is paidDqualified people should be t
63、he highest paid答案：C细节理解题。见文章最后一段第一句，意为：尽管人们所赚的钱的多少在事实上很大程度是由市场供求力量的对比决定的，但这并不妨碍我们寻求一种合适的方法，来确定某项工作应得的报酬。49The argument of the “psychic wage”is used to explain why_.Apeople who do socially important work are not always well paidBpeople who do monotonous jobs are highly paidCyou should not try to comp
64、are the pay of different professionsDsome professional people are paid more than others答案：A推理判断题。“精神工资”这一论据的列举是为了说明什么。见文章第三段第二句，意为：你可以论述，当一个人所做的工作可以给他带来个人的满足，那么他的劳动付出就已经以所谓的“精神工资”这种形式得到补偿，这也可以解释一个做着枯燥无味的重复不断的工作的人为什么需要更多的钱来补偿他在工作中所受的精神损害。50The writer says that in many countries the taxation system_.A
65、provides encouragement to those who work hardestBmakes the rich provide the biggest share of the national incomeCreduces the difference between high and low incomesDenables lowpaid workers to keep most of their wages答案：C细节理解题。见文章最后一段第六行：“the taxation system, which is often used as an instrument of s
66、ocial justice by taxing high incomes at a very high rate indeed”，意为：税收体制通常是用来实现社会公平的工具，它通过对高收入的人实行高税率来执行这一功能。DIf there is one thing scientists have to hear, it is that game is over. Raised on the belief of an endless voyage of discovery, they recoil(畏缩)from the suggestion that most of the best thing
67、s have already been located. If they have, todays scientists can hope to contribute no more than a few grace notes to the symphony(交响乐)of science.A book to be published in Britain this week, The End of Science, argues persuasively that this is the case. Its author, John Horgan, is a senior writer fo
68、r Scientific American magazine, who has interviewed many of todays leading scientists and science philosophers(哲学家). The shock of realizing that science might be over came to him, he says, when he was talking to Oxford mathematician and physicist Sir Roger Penrose.The End of Science provoked(激怒)a wa
69、ve of denunciation(谴责)in the United States last year.“The reaction(反应)has been one of complete shock and disbelief，” Mr. Horgan says.The real question is whether any remaining unsolved problems, of which there are plenty, lead themselves to universal solutions. If they do not, then the focus of scie
70、ntific discovery is already narrowing. Since the triumphs(胜利)of the 1960sthe genetic code, plate tectonics(板块构造说), and the microwave background radiation that went a long way towards proving the_Big_Banggenuine(真正的)scientific revolutions have been scarce. More scientists are now alive, spending more
71、 money on research, than ever. Yet most of the great discoveries of the 19th and 20 th centuries were made before the appearance of state sponsorship, when the scientific enterprise was a fraction(小部分)of its present size.Were the scientists who made these discoveries brighter than todays? That seems
72、 unlikely. A far more reasonable explanation is that fundamental(基础的)science has already entered a period of diminished returns. “Look, dont get me wrong，” says Mr. Horgan, “There are lots of important things still to study, and applied(应用的)science and engineering can go on for ever. I hope we get a
73、 cure for cancer, and for mental disease, though there are few real signs of progress.”51The sentence“most of the best things have already been located”could mean_.Amost of the best things have already been changedBmost of the best things remain to be changedCthere have never been so many best thing
74、s waiting to be discoveredDmost secrets of the world have already been discovered答案：D句意理解题。从本文第一段“they recoil from thesuggestion that most of the best things have already been located.”可知“他们很难接受这样一种说法大多数最好的东西已经被发现了”。52John Horgan_.has written a book entitled The End of Science.has been working as an
75、 editor of Scientific American.has been working many years as a literary critic.is working as a science writerAand B onlyCand D，and答案：C推理判断从原文第二段的前两句“A book to be published in Britain this week, The End of Science, argues persuasively that this is the case.

77、take up too much time and energyDtodays scientists are not as intelligent as those in the past答案：A概括归纳题。从原文中“genuine(真正的)scientific revolutions have been scarce. More scientists are now alive, spending more money on research, than ever.”及相关论述可知A项正确。54The term“the Big Bang”probably refers to_.Athe ge
78、netic code theoryBa theory of the origin(起源)of the universeCa geological theoryDthe origin and the power of atomic energy答案：B词义理解题。要正确猜测“the Big Bang”的准确意思，要结合该短语在原文中的位置和上下句的意思。根据该词所在段的意思，再比较四个选项，我们不难推出该词意为“宇宙大爆炸”。55The best title of this passage can be_.AGreat Scientific Discoveries Will Never Be P
