3. ［ 3 ］ Environments influence friendliness.One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside.And,researchers say,pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos than unpleasant ones.My experience was similar.Whatever the reason,my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly,people in vacation spots,like the Jersey Shore,were far friendlier than those hurrying to work downtown.

4. ［ 4 ］ It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling.And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness.Apparently,a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient( 接 受者 ). ［ 5 ］ So maybe we can make the world a better place by.After a month of doing it,I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of well-being.

8. ［ 2 ］ Over the years,shopping has become a very common activity.Many people enjoy going to stores more and more every day,but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics.They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it.They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need.Even though they don’t have enough money,they buy everything they want.

9. ［ 3 ］ The question is,why do they have this addiction?There isn’t a specific answer.Some people go shopping when they are sad,worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better.They use this activity as a way to forget their problems.Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.

10. ［ 4 ］ Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction,but it can.Some of them can be psychological.If this is the case,people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit.However,the process, like for most addictions,is long,and they suffer a lot.It can also cause financial problems.They just think about satisfying their feelings,so they spend money they don’t have.They get deep in debt,and they can even go bankrupt and get sentto prison.

14. 一、在阅读文章时，要注意训练概括文章主旨和 归纳标题的能力。概括主旨时应首先通读全文，通过 阅读，了解作者写这篇文章的真正目的。要准确理解 文章大意，把握作者的观点、态度、语气和文章的内 容要点、层次结构等，为回答问题做好准备。试题的 回答通常要求字数比较少，所以语言要精辟、简洁， 答案要符合题干的要求，能概括出文章大意或作者写 作意图。关键词往往出现在文章的开头或结尾，也有 部分文章需要我们通读全文后才能找到关键词。 二、补全句子题是在深刻理解文意及上下文结构 的基础上完成的。平时阅读文章时要多关注上下句或 段落之间的一些起过渡作用的成分。同时，还要注意 问题所在句子的句式结构和语法特征。比如，要看是 否符合某种特定的句型，句子中有没有表示并列、转 折、递进意义的提示词等。

15. 三、针对主观性试题，考生在日常学习中应从语 篇理解、作者写作意图揣测等方面入手，注重培养归 纳概括能力。可以通过写读后记、读后感或缩写、改 写文章等方法进行操练。 四、多做些长难句翻译练习。从理解句子结构入 手，结合上下文语境，运用多种翻译技巧进行翻译， 译文要符合汉语表达习惯。翻译题的答案表述应该遵 循如下几条原则： 1. 忠实于题干。做阅读表达题，审 清题干是前提。题干中往往包含了答题的具体要求和 一些答题信息。 2. 忠实于原文。阅读表达题的答案都 是根据文章的具体内容设计的。问题的答案在文中都 有表述，应该在原文中寻找，切忌脱离原文，凭空回 答。 3. 忠实于语言规则。答案表述要依据题干要求和 文中信息作答，做到要点全面，内容精确，用词准 确，语言简洁，字数不超过规定字数。忌 “ 隐 ” 、 “ 晦 ” 、 “ 曲 ” ，忌片面、笼统、烦琐，忌出现语病。

16. 主旨概括题以偏概全，叙述不准 Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it,and to go to their offices,factories or schools every day by train,car or bus,even though this means they have to get up earlier in the morning and reach home later in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper.Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent.With the same money,one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Besides,in the

17. country one can live away house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Besides,in the coun- try one can live away from the noise and hurry of the town.Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time on trains or buses,one can have a better sleep at night and during weekends.On summer evenings,one can enjoy the fresh and clean air.If one likes gardens,one can spend his free time digging, planting, water- ing and doing other jobs which are needed in a garden.When the flowers and vegetables come up,one has a chance to share the secrets of nature. Q:What’s the best title for this passage?(Plea- se answer within 10 words.)

18. 考生在做标题归纳题时，往往不知道如何分析 材料，无法从繁多信息中筛选出有效信息，得出 正确答案。在表述上语言不精炼，叙述繁冗拖沓， 模棱两可，不能准确描述出文章大意。 【解题探究】本文一开始就提出 “ 在伦敦工作的人宁 愿早起晚归，往返于伦敦与郊区之间 ” 这个观点，总 领了全文。第二段中的 “One advantage of living outside London...”,“Besides,in the country one can live away from the noise and hurry of the town.” 以 及后面的其他关键信息提示考生，本文主要阐述了 住在伦敦郊区

19. 给人们带来的好处和乐趣。因此我们可以得出此题答 案应为 “Why People Working inLondon Prefer Living Outside It?/Advantages of Living Outside London” 。 英语文章的标题应该简洁明了。在归纳标题时要注意 以下几点： 1. 贵精炼，忌冗繁； 2. 贵具体，忌抽象、 空洞； 3. 贵达意，忌文不对题； 4. 贵宏观把握，大处 着眼，忌一叶障目，不见泰山。

20. 补全句子题脱离语境，想当然地解答 It’s widely believed that natural disasters,a growing demand for food worldwide,coupled with market speculation （投机买卖）,surging （飞 涨） oil prices and the expansion of biofuels,are pushing the food price up. The UN Environment Program said the plan- et’s water,land,air,plants,animals and fish were all in “continuous decline”.According to the UN’s World Food Program(WFP),57 countries, include- ing 29 in Africa,19 in Asia and 9 in Latin America, have been hit by serious floods. Harvests

21. have been affected by drought and heat waves in south Asia,Europe,China,Sudan,Mozambique and Uruguay. A growing population also greater dem- and for food.According to Josette Sheeran,dire- ctor of the WFP,“There are 854 million hungry people in the world and 4 million more join their ranks every year.” “We are facing the tightest food supplies in recent history.For the world’s most vulnerable, food is simply being priced out of their reach,” he said.

22. According to Japan’s Economist magazine, after the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis （次贷危 机）,a huge amount of funds has flowed into the less risky agricultural commodities （商品） market,pushing food price up along with oil,gold and other commodities. High oil prices and the promotion of biofuels in many developed countries have further caused the increase of food price.The expen- sive oil has raised the cost of farm production in its various phases,such as crop growth and product transportation.

23. Biofuels directly consume crops.Some developed countries have encouraged the use and production of biofuels in recent years in order to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and dependence on oil imports.The direct effect is the reduction of food for humans,pushing the price up. Q:Please fill in the blank in the third parag- raph with a proper phrase to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 5 words.)

24. 考生做补全句子题时常犯的错误是忽略上下文 语境，没弄清文章层次就匆忙做题，所得答案文不 对题或与上下文脱节。另外，考生在答题时，还常 常忽略题干中的关于答案词数的限制，导致答案词 数过多。 【解题探究】综观全文可知，自然灾害、不断增长的 食物需求、与之相随的市场投机买卖、石油价格的飞 涨、植物燃料需求的扩大等使得世界面临日益严重的 粮食危机。第一段是概说，其余几段是具体说明。第 三段提到不断增长的人口是食物需求扩大的原因。根 据空缺处句子的结构可知，此处为句子的谓语部分， 表示 “ 导致，带来 ” 之意，故应填 contributes to/ Leads to/results in 。

25. 做此类题时应注意： 1. 准确理解文章大意，把握作者的写作思路，不能偏 离主题； 2. 注意句式、语法结构和文章的层次结构； 3. 依据文中起过渡作用的词或短语，分析所缺信息及 其与上下文的关系； 4. 注意题干的词数限制。

26. 主观性试题词不达意，逻辑混乱 A new study has found that a fat cell gene may reduce the risk of colon cancer in some people.The study provides what scientists say is the first evidence of a genetic link between a fat cell gene and colon cancer.The research could lead to better tests for the disease as well as measures to help prevent it. Current evidence suggests a relationship between obesity,insulin resistance and colon cancer risk.The scientists say what they have found now is an area of a gene that is connected

27. with the cancer risk.They say this area is most likely not the cause of the disease,but they think it is where the connection comes from. The gene is involved in the formation of a hormone called adiponectin.Some people have higher levels of this hormone in their blood. Others have lower levels.Higher levels have been linked with lower rates of obesity and insulin resistance.And lower levels have been linked with higher rates. The Journal of the American Medical Assoc- iation published the new findings last week.Boris

28. Pasche from the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham led the research. Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths.Every year it kills almost six hun- dred eighty thousand people around the world. And doctors find more than one million new cases each year.The disease is highly treatable if discovered early. The research involved two studies with a total of about one thousand five hundred people.The larger of the two studies involved New Yorkers of

29. Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.Colon cancer is more common in Jews of eastern European ancestry than in the general population.The other study involved people of different ethnicities from Chicago,Illinois. Currently,in the United States,the general advice is for colonoscopy （结肠镜检查） tests for colon cancer to begin at the age of fifty.A colon- oscopy can find and remove growths before they become cancerous.But the test is invasive and can be uncomfortable.

30. A study last month in the New England Jour- nal of Medicine expressed support for a test called a virtual colonoscopy.It uses X-ray and computer technology to search for growths,but cannot remove them.There are still some ques- tions about the effectiveness of a virtual colonoscopy compared to a traditional one.But doctors hope it might appeal to people who would otherwise not be tested at all. Q:Do you think the new research is practical and useful?Why?(Please answer within 30 words.)

31. 考生解答主观性试题时容易犯以下错误： 1. 忽 视答案的层次性，叙述繁冗，表意不清； 2. 语言 表达不准确，不规范，缺乏逻辑性； 3. 有时会有 语法错误。 【解题探究】根据题干可知，此题有两问，答案也应 当分为两个部分。第一部分回答前面的一般疑问句， 第二部分回答具体原因。根据文章第一段最后一句 “The research could lead to better tests for the disease as well as measures to help prevent it.” 及文章后面几段的描述可知，此种研究方式虽然

32. 还存在一些疑问，但是却比以往的有效，而且有助于 结肠癌的治疗。所以答案应为 “Yes,I think so.Although there are some questions about its effectiveness,it is still useful because people can have a better test and treatment with it.” 做此类题时应注意： 1. 语言表达要简洁、明了； 2. 书写要清晰整洁； 3. 答案应忠实于文章内容，关键信息不能有遗漏， 不能凭空增加多余信息。 句子逐字翻译，不符合汉语的习惯表达 Called “The School of the Future” and created

33. with the help of software giant Microsoft,a recently-opened public school in Philadelphia, US,is believed to be the first in the world to combine innovative teaching methods with the latest technology.At this school,students work on wireless laptops,teachers eschew traditional subjects for real-world topics and parents can track their children’s work on the Internet.

34. The school,which costs the school authority $63 million to build,is free and has no entrance exams.The 170 ninth-grade students were selected at random from 1,500 applicants. Philadelphia School District Chief Executive Paul Vallas told students they would be observed by other schools around the world.“You have become instant role models,”Vallas said.“People are going to be watching you.” Students still sit in classrooms,but lessons rely heavily on information found on the Internet and on interactive software.Students will be

35. allowed to learn at their own pace.Homework is done on computer and sent to the teachers for grading and parents can access the school’s network to read teachers’ feedback on their children’s progress. Traditional education fails to teach students the skills of problem-solving,critical thinking and effective communication,which they need to succeed in the 21st century,Principal Shirley Grover said in an interview.“It’s not about memo- rizing certain algebraic equations （代数方程式） and then presenting them in a test,”Grover said.

36. “It’s about thinking how maths might be used to solve water quality problems or how it might be used to determine whether or not we are safe in Philadelphia from the bird flu.” David Terry,14,said he was hoping to “turn over a new leaf” after discipline problems in his previous school left him with an “average to really bad” academic record.“This is a great opportunity for me,” he said.“In other schools,I would not find study so interesting.” Q:Please translate the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph into Chinese.

37. 考生常忽视英汉两种语言文化间的差异，用汉 语的思维方式、语言习惯和表达方式来理解英语， 以致翻译出的汉语句子逻辑混乱，语意含糊，信 息缺失。翻译时会碰到某些词在英语辞典里找不 到适当的词义，假如硬套或逐词翻译，就会使译 文生硬晦涩，甚至会造成错译。这时就应根据上 下文和逻辑关系，从该词的根本含义出发，采用 意译的方式进行表达。

39. 1 （ 2009· 淄博二次质检） If you are a male and you are reading this, congratulations:you are a survivor.According to statistics,you are more than twice likely to die of skin cancer than a woman,and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. There are many reasons for this.Typically,men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men don’t go to the doctor.

40. Gullotta,a professor from a famous medical university,says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two.For those over 45,it should be at least once a year. Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker’s cough for a year. According to a recent survey,95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year,compared to 70% of men in the same age group. “A lot of men think they are absolutely strong,” Gullotta says.They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think,

41. “Geez,if it could happen to him,.” Then there is the ostrich approach.“Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,”says Dr. Ross Cartmill. “Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,”Cartmill says.He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive Check-ups.Cartmill says,“Regular checkups for men would surely place stress on the public purse,but prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases.”Besides,the ultimate cost is far greater:it is called premature death.

44. 2 （ 2009· 青岛二次质检） Most American teenagers used to spend their summer vacations holding multiple jobs.How- ever,with the increase in gas prices,teenagers chose to stay at home instead of going out of the town. “I wish the prices would.The expense of driving to places is affecting our daily life,”said Alicia Still,a senior at Enochs High School in Modesto,California. Alicia,who spent her summer at her dad’s house,said that there would be no point in getting a job.

45. “The drive to my workplace is so long that I would hardly be making any profit because all my money would be going toward gas,”she said. Teenagers are now forced to give up the pleasure of driving around the town without purpose.“Instead of driving around looking for something to do,I now find myself planning the way in advance so I don’t waste necessary gas,” said Stephen Macko,a student at Davis High School in Modesto. What kinds of things are teenagers doing in order to conserve gas?

46. Alicia saves gas by doing all of her things at one time so she doesn’t have to go home and leave again. “I try to do it all in one trip so I don’t have to always be running around and wasting gas,”she said.“I know that when I go to lunch with my friends,we make sure to go somewhere near all of our houses so we save gas.”

47. “But it’s hard,considering I drive a big truck. I also try to get a lift from my friends when they are going places that I am going to.”said Stephen. Some try not to accelerate too much. Teenagers will have to continue changing their lifestyles unless the price of gas decreases. However,that might not be a bad thing.

50. suggest that our love of the mobile phone could cause massive food shortages,as the world’s harvests fail. They are putting forward the theory that radi- ation given off by mobile phones and other hi-tech equipment is a possible answer to one of the more unusual happenings in the natural world— the abrupt disappearance of the bees that pollinate （授粉） crops.Later last week,some bee- keepers claimed that the phenomenon which started in the US,and then spread to Europe was beginning to hit Britain.

51. The theory is that radiation from mobile phones influences bees’ navigation system,prev- enting the famously homeloving species from finding their way back to their hives （蜂房）. Improbable as it may seem,there is now evidence to back this up. Colony Collapse Disorder （ CCD ） occurs when a hive’s inhabitants abruptly disappear, leaving only queens,eggs and a few young wor- kers.The bees that have disappeared are never found,but thought to die singly far from home. The parasites,wildlife and other bees that norm- ally raid the honey and pollen （花粉） left behind when a colony dies,refuse to go anywhere near the abandoned hives.

52. The alarm was first sounded last autumn,but has now hit half of all American states.And last week John Chapple,one of London’s biggest bee keepers,announced that 23 of his 40 hives have been suddenly abandoned. The possible effect of the spread is alarming. Most of the world’s crops depend on pollination by bees.Albert Einstein once said,“,man would have only four years of life left.” No one knows why it is happening.

53. German research has long shown that bees’ behaviour changes near power lines. Now a limited study has found that bees ref- use to return to their hives when mobile phones are placed nearby.Dr. Jochen Kuhn,who carried it out,said this could provide evidence to a poss- ible cause. Dr. George Carlo,who headed a massive study by the US government and mobile phone Industry of dangers from mobiles,said:“I am convinced the possibility is real.”

59. Know your limits Not only is it important to understand the physical limits of how much you can do for a parent,but it is important to understand your emotional limits.As a teenager,you are not supposed to be as mature and responsible as adults,but you are meant to sort out your thoughts about many different subjects.Drawing up a list of activities that you enjoy doing and can do on your own is a great way of always having an idea on hand when you need one.

Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long.Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects,such as bees,for pollination （授 粉）.After that,they quickly dry up and die.The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide,called breathing,creates

63. the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and colour.The making of seeds also depends on this energy.While all living things breathe,flowers have a high level of breathing.A result of all this breathing is heat,and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high.Breathing also brings about the eventual death of the flower.Thus the greater the level of breathing is,. How,then,to control the rate at which flowers die?By controlling breathing.How is breathing controlled?By controlling temperature.

64. We know that breathing produces heat,but the reverse is also true.Thus by maintaining low temperatures,breathing is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly. Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed.

68. newspapers,the backs of cereal boxes or orange juice cartons if there was nothing else on the table at the moment.I have my parents to thank in large part for the love of reading.They were always working on something. With few exceptions,today’s kids are up against far more distractions （令人分心的事） than most of us ever were,and it is so EASY for them to become disengaged in reading.There’s the PlayStation or the XBox.There’s the iPod. There’s the Internet.There’s texting.And there’s peer pressure.If the coolest kid in the class thinks reading a book is the most god-awful thing...

69. I’ve told my sons that information,knowledge and understanding come from reading, will help them at every stage in their lives,now and forever.However,we have to say it and model it. It’s not enough for the teachers to say it and require it,or for us to leave it to them.We have to,as well. Of course we have to use and acknowledge the power of new technologies in our lives.But we need to keep the reading going too.There’s a place and a need for everything.So it’s an amazing thing.It’s not Christmas yet and I already have my gift. （ My husband’s comment when I told him this:“Does this mean I can return all of yours?” ）

72. 7 （ 2009· 临沂一次质检） Our imagination builds our future.The picture that we build in our minds will undoubtedly materialize in the physical world if it is held consistently enough over time.It is a common mistake to rely solely on the physical senses and to believe only what we see.This dependence can keep us living in a vicious cycle where we ob- serve the results around us,build a picture with these images,and then continue to receive the same results according to our picture.This is the

73. life that the majority of people lead.They haven’t yet realized that their results are a product of their imagination.The image can consist of material from the physical world around us or images which we build in our minds.The treasure which few realize that we possess is the ability to build an image in our minds which will predicate our goals and ambitions. Everybody hopes and dreams.We all see a rosy future at least once in a while but these visions are usually treated as whimsical fantasi- es.The majority don’t really believe in their dreams

74. —they are simply vague wishes.The true power behind our visualizing faculty lies in the belief back of the picture.We must know that our pict- ure will happen with certainty.This faith needs to be held in the face of the things occurring in the physical world that might not be consistent with this vision. The imagination will become extremely powe- rful.And in the process of practice,consis- tency is the key.The more we see what we want in our minds,the quicker it will come into our lives.

77. 8 （ 2009· 烟台三次模拟） Traveling overseas to a foreign country can be an amazing experience.However,for those who are not prepared to take part in a new culture,they may be totally overwhelmed by having to go through this unfamiliar chain of events.This phenomenon is called culture shock, and often occurs when people visit a country for which they are not ready.One can avoid embarr- assment and enjoy their trip more if they have taken preparations against such “shock” in the first place.

78. Firstly,one must remember to prepare them- selves through education for their visit.Do not just show up in some country like Mongolia with no idea about what to expect even in the least.

82. （ 2009· 临沂二次质检） Germans are the gloomiest people in Europe according to a major new study of the 27 nations in the European Union. The report,released by the European Comm- ission,confirms what many Germans had them- selves long suspected—they are masters of moaning. Asked if life would be better in 20 years,just 20 percent of Germans could bring themselves 〈1〉〈1〉

83. to agree.In happy-go-lucky Estonia,which topped the chart,78 percent of people look at the future through rosetinted spectacles. “Estonian citizens were the most optimistic,” noted the report,which polled 25,000 people across the EU.“The Germans,on the other hand, were —only one in five expected that life in Germany would improve in the long-term.” Britons were revealed as a touch more sceptical about future prospects than the average European,49 percent of whom think life will be worse in 20 years.

84. The study focused on “quality of life” issues such as schooling and job prospects,age of retirement and whether people would be able to afford medical costs or even a reasonable place to live. It found that while new members of the EU, mostly from central and eastern Europe,were mostly of the view that life would get better and better,established members of the EU were almost all miserable.

85. Of the pre-2004 EU members only the Irish and the Swedes managed to look on the bright side of life. In fact,the length of EU membership appears strongly related to a gloomy outlook.The six founder members of the EU occupy four of the five bottom spots on the future happiness chart, according to the poll. While Germans are the most mired in despair, they are closely followed by the Belgians,the Luxembourgers and the French.

88. 2 (2009· 济宁一次模拟） Some articles are available in the network which state that the people born in the 1980s are generally referred to as the lost generation. These people were born at the initial period of China’s reform and opening up.They are living in a prosperous society of the market economy with many like drugs,robbery,living-together and so on.People have different values concerning family and marriage.There seems to be an obvious generation gap between these people and their parents.Therefore some of them feel puzzled and have trouble adapting to the rapid changes in society.

89. In addition,these people are faced with greater pressure than ever before.They find,to their disappointment,it is hard to find a job,let alone an ideal one.Some college students have even had to face unemployment when they graduate.They have come to know that there are so many difficulties to overcome.Some of them are not competitive and feel frustrated.Some people,especially those in the undeveloped areas,even think that knowledge is useless. In my opinion,the phenomena such as gener- ation gap and unemployment do exist in the

90. present society.However,the generation born in the 1980s can never be called the lost generation. First of all,these people are trying their best to get knowledge so as to follow the rapid deve- lopment of science and technology.Furthermore, most of them never feel discouraged or lose heart in face of difficulties.Instead,they are fully aware of challenges and opportunities,as well as their social responsibilities.The generation of the 1980s are bound to succeed and achieve much if they do not feel lost.

93. 3 （ 2009· 青岛三次模拟） On a clear night,you can look at the sky and see the moon and stars.You might even see the blinking light of a working satellite as it flies past,on its way around the earth. Even though you cannot see it,you are also looking at the largest junkyard in the solar system. Higher than the highest clouds but much closer than the moon,the junkyard stretches from the earth’s surface to 20,000 miles overhead.There are tens of millions of pieces of rubbish there.

94. Some of the pieces are rocks and dust from passing comets,but most of them are man-made and are called “orbital debris”.There are some unusual things up there,like a camera that floated away from astronaut Sunita “Suni” Williams in December 2006.Other astronauts have lost tools like wrenches and screwdrivers. In 1965,astronaut Ed White even lost a spare glove.Most of the junk,however,comes from large satellites and rockets that fell apart after they stopped working. Together,all the space junk would weigh about

95. 11 million pounds on earth,or more than 3,000 Cars. is part of a rocket about the size of a minivan （小型货车）.The smallest piece would fit on your pinkie fingernail with room to spare.About 17,000 pieces of garbage are larger thanin-ch es,which are slightly smaller than a softball. “It’s like a classic environmental problem,like water pollution or air pollution.If countries work together to control the amount of trash we send

99. 4 （ 2009· 潍坊一次质检） We believe that there is more to education than preparation for a job.Children must be prepared for all aspects of their adult life:work, leisure,personal relationships,creative activities, dealing with money matters,independence,etc. Nevertheless it would be unrealistic to pro- vide education which didn’t consider(took no account of) the need of employers. What type of training does the business world regard as important?

100. Many young people were,in the emplo- yers’ opinions,very weak in the basic skills of handwriting,grammar and spelling.Though additional education at university level improved the students’ general ability,a report states,“In basic skills the standards remained stubbornly （顽固地） low.” It is debatable （有争议的） whether standards have decreased in recent years.What is certain is that employers do not believe the standards are now high enough.Do technological changes make greater demands upon the students’ ability?

101. We should also remember that the job expec- tations of young people have increased.The girls who would have once become shop assistants or hairdressers now want to be secretaries.Boys who sought an apprentice （学徒） 20 years ago now desire an engineering degree.But it is still the same girls and boys with the same degree of ability.No wonder there are problems in reaching the “necessary standards” of the business world.

102. Many employers believe that it is important for teachers to have experience outside the world of college and school.They should work for a while at some other kinds of jobs “to see how the world of business and commerce differs from their own”.The teaching professor and society in general need greater understanding of manpower need and therefore of “desired” direction of the education system.

Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one? So it is actual and inevitable to combine the education with the demands of the society.

115. 7 （ 2009· 威海二次质检） For years,prices have risen in China for many reasons.However,inflation （通货膨胀） has not badly affected people’s lives because living standards have improved. Inflation is not an unbeatable beast.In fact, economists from all over the world have found ways to prevent or lessen it.There are now several methods of controlling inflation. Reducing the amount of money being issued Many experts believe inflation happens because too much money is printed.The more money the central bank issues,.Therefore,the

116. most important thing for the government is to control the amount of money being issued. Cutting down on government spending Over-spending and over-expanding of govern- ment can make inflation worse.Therefore,it is helpful to reduce the size of big government bodies,cut down on their spending,pay fewer,and reduce subsidies （津贴） to prevent inflation from speeding up. Slowing down the increase of salaries It seems that giving bigger salaries to workers helps them manage when prices of their shopp- ing are going up.In fact,as salaries increase,the

117. central bank will have to issue more money to pay for the increase.Thus,increasing salaries may not be so good as it sounds.It’s like cheating.Salaries should only be increased if workers produce more. Increasing bank interest rates The increase of interest rates can make more people put more money into banks.At the same time,enterprises take out fewer loans.As a result, demand for money on the whole is lower. Keeping prices under strict control Prices can be lowered by setting the highest prices and freezing prices for most goods.

Google keeps trying to find other ways to make money besides its simple service of providing text ads that are responsive to search terms input by users.In 2007,contextual ads still generated 99% of the company’s $16.5 billion revenue.Google keeps trying a bunch of other things but most don’t work and those that do don’t become big cash generators.But they keep trying,or at least buying,new things. Most successful business people take an idea that is good in one industry and do it again—often in that same industry.The best ones do it again and again.They don’t automatically abandon a

The core （核心） message here is the value of reflection to find those things in your past that have worked for you..But there is a disconnection.Why aren’t we automatically doing this?Why isn’t it as obvious as it seems? Why do we often move away from things that are working?At least part of the answer lies in finding new excitement in the “been there,done that”.
