Early in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street. Main Street wa
2、s always in the heart of a town. This street was 1 on both sides with many 2 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. 3 , some shops offered 4 .These shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe-repair stores, and ba

Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces 8 the city limits. Open space is what their car-
4、driving customers needed. And open space is what they got when the first shopping centre was built. Shopping centres, or rather malls, 9 as a collection of small new stores 10 crowded city centres. 11 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from 11 areas to outlying malls. And t
5、he growing 12 of shopping centres led 13 to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. By the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 15 of one stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks, with benches, fo

Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about
14、microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (贯穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects. To tes
15、t this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 kilowatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm. ) ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50 mw. /
16、sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw. / sq. cm. In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the livi
17、ng room, for example, a motion detector (运动感应器)would turn on the magnetron, filling the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate its on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee tabl
18、e. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.) While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract li
19、vestock(家畜) farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are frequently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.26. Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?A. A new heating system.B. A new microwave oven.C. A popular technique.D. The mag
20、netron.27. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following does not describe the characteristics of a microwave heater?A. It directly heats people in a room. B. It heats walls and furniture in a room.C. It is safe. D. It saves energy28. The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels c
21、omfortable warmth, he receives about _.A. 20 mw. / sq. cm. B. 40 mw. / sq. cm.C. 60 mw. / sq. cm. D. 85 mw. / sq. cm.29. According to Paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves?A. The magnetron.B. The motion detector.C. The microwave oven.D. The radiation-absorbing
22、chemical.30. Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with? A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners. B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable. C. Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farm
23、ers, who wish to protect their lambs in winter.D. Microwave heaters cannot be accepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe.

33、ications have changed historyDthat man is altering the balance of natureCThe way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappi
34、ness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achiev
35、ement, religious commitment（承担的义务）, self - improvement.Ask a bachelor（单身汉） why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled
36、 with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three - day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples
37、who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that ca
38、n genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.36
39、According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _ .A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and e
40、xcitement37Raising children, in the authors opinion is _ .A. a moral duty B. a thankless jobC. a rewarding task D. a source of inevitable pain38From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from _ .A. hatredB. misunderstandingC. prejudiceD. ignorance39To understand what true happiness
41、is one must _ .A. have as much fun as possible during ones lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from fun40What is the author trying to tell us?A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with painB. One must
42、 know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments. D. It is pain that leads to happiness.DIn a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, and English and all at the same time. This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at US
43、s Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germanys University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.One application, called Lectur
44、e Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the programme.Another prototype(雏形机) can send translations of a speech to differe
45、nt listeners depending on what language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,” Waibel said.Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display(LCD) scree
46、n.Then theres the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a persons face, according to rese
47、archers.During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMUs Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Stan Jou had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthed without speaking aloud a few words in Mandarin(普通话) to the audience. A few seconds later, the p
48、hrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.”This particular gadget(器械),when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign langua
49、ge”. “The idea behind the universitys prototypes is to create good enough bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,” Waibel said.With spontaneous(自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could
50、 read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.41. Which of the following statements is not TRUE?A. A lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.B. There is no Muscle Translato
51、r in the world now.C. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.42. What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Lecture Translation. B. Muscle Translator.C. Multiple Translator. D. Translat
52、ion Prototype.43. Whats the final destination of inventing the language translators?A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.D. To help people learn more forei
53、gn languages in the future.44. What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.C. With the help of the translator, you only need
54、 to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.D. The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.45.

70、1. D 本句的意思是“街道的两旁排列着很多各种各样的商店”，build的意思是“建造，修建”，design的意思是“设计”，intend意思是“打算”，line是“沿排列”的意思。2. B varied是“变化多端”的意思，various为“各种各样的”，sorted意为“分类的”，mixed-up意为“困惑的，迷惘的，不适应社会的”。本句意为“各种各样的商店”。3. C 本句的意思是“除了各种各样的商店销售各种各样的商品之外，有些商店还提供服务”，apart from意为“除此之外”，后必须接名词或动名词，however是连词“然而”的意思，in addition可单独使用，意为“除此之外
71、”，as well用在句末。4. D medical care意为“医疗护理”。food是“食物”，cosmetic是“化妆品”，service是“服务”，根据上题意思，service一词放在这里最合适。5. D 本句的意思是“在五十年代，情况发生了变化”，有转折的意思。suddenly和abruptly都是“突然”的意思，contrarily指“相反地”，but是“但是”的意思,表转折。6. B take place只有主动语态，故可排除C，而begin to后应接动词不定式，只有take place“发生”可用。7. B be available to sb.为固定搭配，意为“对某人来说可
72、用的，可得到的”，本句意为“顾客可用的停车场地”，故选B。8. D 本句意为“商人们开始对城市界限以外的开阔地感兴趣”，out of表示“的外面”而outside指“超过某一个界限，范围等”。9. A 本句的意思是“购物中心是从聚集一些小的店铺开始的”，只有started as有此意。10.

C 这里convenience与providing组成短语“提供方便，便利”，符合上下文义。本句意为“商业街被变成了带有长椅、喷泉及户外娱乐的风景优美的公园”。第二节 语法填空(共10小题；每小题l.5分，满分l5分)【答
74、案与解析】本文讲述中国传统节日端午节的由来及其背后的故事。16. has been marked。由时间状语for thousands of years可知，句子谓语动词应用现在完成进行时，表示端午节一直以来都以吃粽子和赛龙珠的方式进行庆祝，而且将来也会如此，故填has been marked。17. situated。表示某地方位于何地时，用be situated in /on, 句中“situated”相当于定语从句，“which was situated”。18. However。前后两句是转折关系，而空格前后都有标点，故应填副词However。19. Realizing。因逻辑主语Qu
75、与realize是主动关系，故应填Realizing。20. unable。由but可知，渔民未能救活他，故用able相反意思的unable。21. who。引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是The people of Chu，故应填who。22. every。根据常识，是指“每一”年。23. them。代替the mourners，在句中作宾语，故应填them。24. before。因“将它裹好、绑好”应是在“将粽子扔进河里”之前，才不会给河里的一种爬行动物偷吃，故应填介词before。25. the。因many / little / few 等词在后面有定语从句或不定式等成分修饰时，其

78、旨大意题。文章的主题是人类正改变着自然界的平衡。C【答案与解析】 3640 ACBDA 本文是一篇议论文，阐述了幸福的获得这一话题，试图澄清人们在幸福问题上的一些误解。36A。细节理解题。本题要求学生判断单身汉拒绝结婚的主要原因。依据文章第3段第1行“Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment”（
79、害怕作出对义务的承诺，即不愿承担义务）。A项与之等同，故正确。37C。推理判断题。依据文章第4自然段第1句“带有婴儿的父母要是能睡上一整晚觉或度一个三天的假日，那真是太幸运了。在我认识的人中，不会有人用fun（好玩）来描述他们抚养孩子的感受”，似乎会认为作者的意图是B项（出力不讨好，毫无回报的事）或D项（不可避免的痛苦来源）。实际上，作者真实想法应在第2句中体现：但是决定不生孩子的夫妻永远也体会不到看着孩子成长以及和孙子玩耍的那种乐趣、那种欣喜。这种乐趣、欣喜实际就是一种回报。所以选项C正确。38B。推理判断题。依据文章最后一句“And it liberates us from envy：we
80、 now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.”说明：我们现在的这种理解就可免除嫉妒，那么反过来，嫉妒产生于我们的理解不当，即misunderstanding，故选项B正确。39D。推理判断题。依据文章第一自然段第1句“The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances
81、 of ever attaining real happiness”（人们坚持充满趣味、毫无痛苦的生活就等于幸福这一信条实际上减少了他们获得真正幸福的可能性）。再依据文章最后一句“all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all”（生活中总是有如此多的fun的人实际上也许一点都不幸福）。可以看出要理解真正的幸福是什么就必须把fun和happiness区分开来。因为两者绝不等同。故选项D正确。C项应该是回答“怎样才能获得真正的幸福”这一问题，且作者并没在文中明确提到获得快乐就必须在任何情况下都
82、忍受痛苦。40A。主旨大意题。作者的意图出现在第一自然段最后一句：“But in fact，the opposite is true：more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain” （但事实上，导致你幸福的事情多半伴随着痛苦），故选项A符合题意。D【答案与解析】 4145 BCADBC篇是一篇说明文，内容是有关科技发明成果的阐述。41.B。细节理解题。根据文章第六自然段可推出B项是错误的。42.C。推理判断题。在短文第二自然段中提到了Lecture Translation,在第三段中提到了prototyp
