本文主要讨论了听行为对人际交流的影响。文章第一段从父母和子女之间的交流出发，说明儿女不听父母的话造成了他们之间的隔阂。第二段从婚姻的角度出发，说明夫妻双方的互不理睬造成交流不畅，从而使离婚率上升。第三段从政治的角度出发，说明政府官员不聆听选民甚至不在意自己所说的话，造成官民隔阂。例证法是本文采用的主要的论证方法。试题精解
1.［精解］ 本题考查考生通过上下文选择适当的形容词的能力。空格处填入的形容词在句子中充当表语，说明“青少年与父母的交流是__1__”。首先排除［C］项rare“希罕的，珍贵的”，因为它强调事物因罕见而珍贵，而文中需要的是表贬义的词。空格后面部分提到，造成这种隔阂（gap）的首要原因是听的行为。由此可知，这里讨论的是听对人与人之间交流效果的影响，不是交流少，而是交流不好，所以［D］项poor“质差的，效率低的，不理想的”正确。scarce“缺乏的，不足的”；little“很少的，几乎无”。2.［精解］ 本题考查考生通过上下文选择适当的形容词的能力。空格处填入的形容词修饰listening behavior，说明“__2__听的行为会造成父母和孩子之间沟通不好”。［A］项malignant“恶性的，恶意的”贬义程度太深，不适合描述父母和孩子之间的行为。［D］项feeble “无效的，无力的”，形容人时表示“虚弱无力的”，形容事物时表示“无效的，无力的”，和［C］项ineffective“无效的，无能的”近义，如a feeble argument/joke无力的证据/干巴巴的笑话。由紧接着的下文的举例可知，这里说的听的行为是指主观上拒绝倾听。因此强调客观效度的［C］、［D］项也不适合。［B］项deficient“不完善的，有缺点的，有缺陷的”，意为not good enough，在文中指“不完善的听的行为”。符合文意。例句补充咨询QQ、微信：2544906升值”做的动作。下文提到具体做法是咨询QQ、微信：2544906并且把这些钱转为政府债务。四个选项都是同一方向的表达，根据经济常识，应选［B］，表示“限制日元的升值”。核心词汇或超纲词汇(1)rules of thumb经验法则，也称ROT，通常是基于以前的经验（比如在一段时间内观察到的平均值）或者更复杂公式的简化。(2)stomp（v.）迈着重重的步子走（或跳舞、移动），重踩，重踏(3)runaway（a.）逃跑的，出走的；失控的；轻易的，迅速的(4)passing（a.）暂时的，瞬间的；经过的，过往的(5)(just) for once仅此一次（与通常情况对比而言），如~ he arrived on time.（只有这一次他按时到了。）(6)spendthrift（a./n.）花钱无度的（人），挥霍的（人）(7)at a fast/good/fair/steady, etc. clip迅速，很快地，如Land prices will rise at a healthy clip.（土地价格将快速稳定上涨。）(8)thereabouts（ad.）（通常用于or之后）（时间、数量等）大约，左右，上下(9)on the face of it表面上看(10)rally（n.）公众集会；（体育运动或证券交易）止跌回升(11)Treasury（n.）（英、美等国的）财政部(12)rosy（a.）红润的；美好的，乐观的，如The future is looking very ~ for our company.（我们公司的前景一片光明。）(13)backdrop（n.）（舞台）背景幕；（事态或活动的）背景(14)speculative（a.）推测的，猜测的，推断的；投机性的，风险性的全文翻译

We’re moving into another era, as the toxic effects of the bubble and its grave consequences spread through the financial system. Just a couple of years ago investors dreamed of 20 percent returns forever. Now surveys show that they’re down to a “realistic”8 percent to 10 percent range.But what if the next few years turn out to be below normal expectations? Martin Barners of the Bank Credit Analyst in Montreal expects future stock returns to average just 4 percent to 6 percent. Sound impossible? After a much smaller bubble that burst in the mid-1960s Standard & Poor’s 5000 stock average returned 6.9 percent a year (with dividends reinvested) for the following 17 years. Few investors are prepared for that.Right now denial seems to be the attitude of choice. That’s typical, says Lori Lucas of Hewitt, the consulting firm. You hate to look at your investments when they’re going down. Hewitt tracks 500,000 401 (k) accounts every day, and finds that savers are keeping their contributions up. But they’re much less inclined to switch their money around. “It’s the slot-machine effect,” Lucas says. “People get more interested in playing when they think they’ve got a hot machine”—and nothing’s hot today. The average investor feels overwhelmed.Against all common sense, many savers still shut their eyes to the dangers of owning too much company stock. In big companies last year, a surprising 29 percent of employees held at least three quarters of their 402 (k) in their own stock.Younger employees may have no choice. You often have to wait until you’re 50 or 55 before you can sell any company stock you get as a matching contribution.But instead of getting out when they can, old participants have been holding, too. One third of the people 60 and up chose company stock for three quarters of their plan, Hewitt reports. Are they inattentive? Loyal to a fault? Sick? It’s as if Lucent, Enron and Xerox never happened.No investor should give his or her total trust to any particular company’s stock. And while you’re at it, think how you’d be if future stock returns—averaging good years and bad—are as poor as Barnes predicts.If you ask me, diversified stocks remain good for the long run, with a backup in bonds. But I, too, am figuring on reduced returns. What a shame. Dear bubble, I’ll never forget. It’s the end of a grand affair.1. The investors’ judgment of the present stock returns seems to be _____.［A］ fanciful ［B］ pessimistic ［C］ groundless ［D］ realistic2. In face of the current stock market, most stock-holders_____.［A］ stop injecting more money into the stock market［B］ react angrily to the devaluing stock［C］ switch their money around in the market［D］ turn a deaf ear to the warning3. In the author’s opinion, employees should _____.［A］ invest in company stock to show loyalty to their employer［B］ get out of their own company’s stock［C］ wait for some time before disposing of their stock［D］ give trust to a particular company’s stock4. It can be inferred from the text that Lucent, Enron and Xerox are names of _____.［A］ successful businesses［B］ bankrupted companies［C］ stocks［D］ huge corporations5. The author’s attitude towards the long-term investors’ decision is _____.［A］ positive ［B］ suspicious ［C］ negative ［D］ ambiguous答案

本文是介绍股票投资的经济类文章。作者先介绍了投资股票回报率的下降趋势，接着指出了投资者的错误投资行为，最后提出了建议。第一至二段咨询QQ、微信：2544906的高额薪水从而引导它从毁灭性的会计丑闻中恢复，这之后，阿霍德公司四面楚歌的监事会面临的压力日趋上升。自9?7亿欧元（折合10亿美元）的丑闻后阿霍德公司一直在努力恢复信心。首席执行官安德斯·莫博格的薪酬——它的公布时间选择在上周的股东会议上——使阿霍德公司再次面临一场新的信用危机。这周荷兰媒体大量的批评性评论反映出来的关于薪酬问题的争议，威胁到管理层的注意力将从复兴策略上转移。该策略以相当多的企业出售和可能的授权为基础来减少11亿欧元的债务。那些被认为不能在三至五年内获得食品零售第一、二位的零售企业将立即被拍卖。在莫博格先生作出评论后，董事会的立场显得更加微妙。他在金融时报的采访中批评非执行董事没有接受他的建议，在他已同意签约的5月份就公布薪酬。然而，阿霍德公司等到4个月后才作出公布，并在当天要求股东们同意任命莫博格先生。“我说过我喜欢事情透明化，我真希望监事会5月份已经公布薪酬来避免这样的情形发生”。莫博格先生对金融时报说。当这场争论促使左翼的《荷兰日报》要求抵制阿霍德在荷兰的超市连锁店Albert Heijn的商品时，很显然监事会对这个反应已经作出了错误的判断。上周阿霍德公司刚宣布该连锁店裁减员工440名。虽然监事会主席亨利·德·鲁伊特认为这样一个薪酬公平地反映了像阿霍德这样一个处于不利条件下的公司需用多少薪酬才能吸引高层管理人员，但是愤怒的投资者仍然谴责监事会不顾他们的意见强行这样做。此外，荷兰媒体评论员指出，阿霍德公司的丑闻已经引起荷兰政府任命委员会来加强对公司的管理。这个委员会对管理人员的红利提出了一个限度，这个限度远远低于莫博格可能挣到的2.5倍年薪。与此同时，莫博格先生努力让自己远离争吵，将注意力集中在复兴计划上。他告诉《金融时报》，他已经采取措施增加在斯堪的纳维亚与ICA公司合资中的股份。阿霍德公司已经预计要使用足够多的资金来购买任何一家合资伙伴的股份。合资伙伴可以运用“卖出选择权”，从2004年4月开始出售他们的股份。Part BDirections:In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the lish A-G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices that do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)Archaeological study covers an extremely long span of time and a great variety of subjects. The earliest subjects of archaeological study date from the origins of humanity. These include fossil remains believed to be of human ancestors who lived 3.5 million to 4.5 million years ago. The earliest archaeological sites include those at Hadar, Ethiopia; Laetoli, Tanzania; East Turkana, Kenya; and elsewhere in East Africa. These sites contain evidence of the first appearance of bipedal (upright-walking, apelike early humans).41. ___________The first physically modern humans, Homo sapiens, appeared in tropical Africa between 200,000 and 150,000 years ago—dates determined by molecular biologists and archaeologists working together. Dozens of archaeological sites throughout Asia and Europe show how people migrated from Africa and settled in these two continents during the last Ice Age (100,000 to 15,000 years ago). 42. ___________Archaeologists have documented that the development of agriculture took place about 10,000 years ago. Early domestication—the planting and harvesting of plants and the breeding and herding of animals—is evident in such places as the ancient settlement of Jericho in Jordan and in Tehuac&bbcute;n Valley in Mexico. Archaeology plays a major role in the study of early civilizations, such as those of the Sumerians of Mesopotamia, who built the city of Ur, and the ancient Egyptians, who are famous for the pyramids near the city of Giza and the royal sepulchres (tombs) of the Valley of the Kings at Thebes. 43. ___________Archaeological research spans the entire development of phenomena that are unique to humans. For instance, archaeology tells the story of when people learned to bury their dead and developed beliefs in an afterlife. Sites containing signs of the first simple but purposeful burials in graves date to as early as 40,000 years ago in Europe and Southwest Asia. By the time people lived in civilizations, burials and funeral ceremonies had become extremely important and elaborate rituals. 44. ___________Archaeology also examines more recent historical periods. Some archaeologists work with historians to study American colonial life, for example. They have learned such diverse information as how the earliest colonial settlers in Jamestown, Virginia, traded glass beads for food with native Algonquian peoples; how the lives of slaves on plantations reflected their roots in Africa; and how the first major cities in the United States developed. 45. ___________［A］ For example, the Moche lords of Sip&bbcute;n in coastal Peru were buried in about AD 400 in fine cotton dress and with exquisite ornaments of bead, gold, and silver. Few burials rival their lavish sepulchres. Being able to trace the development of such rituals over thousands of years has added to our understanding of the development of human intellect and spirit.［B］ By 40,000 years ago people could be found hunting and gathering food across most of the regions of Africa. Populations in different regions employed various technological developments in adapting to their different environments and climates.［C］ Archaeological studies have also provided much information about the people who first arrived in the Americas over 12,000 years ago.［D］ The first fossil records of vascular plants—that is, land plants with tissue that carries food—appeared in the Silurian period. They were simple plants that had not developed separate stems and leaves.［E］ Laetoli even reveals footprints of humans from 3.6 million years ago. Some sites also contain evidence of the earliest use of simple tools. Archaeologists have also recorded how primitive forms of humans spread out of Africa into Asia about 1.8 million years ago, then into Europe about 900,000 years ago.［F］ One research project involves the study of garbage in present-day cities across the United States. This garbage is the modern equivalent of the remains found in the archaeological record. In the future, archaeologists will continue to move into new realms of study.［G］ Other sites that represent great human achievement are as varied as the cliff dwellings of the ancient Anasazi (a group of early Native Americans of North America) at Mesa Verde, Colorado; the Inca city of Machu Picchu high in the Andes Mountains of Peru; and the mysterious, massive stone portrait heads of remote Easter Island in the Pacific.答案

本文主要论述了考古学研究的发展，它延续了整个人类发展的历史（从人类起源之初到现代社会），涉及了多种多样的主题（包括最早出现的人类，人类的迁徙、文明、埋葬仪式、美国殖民生活、现代城市垃圾等）。［A］ 比如，西潘地区莫切人的贵族们约在公元400年被埋葬，身着优质的棉质礼服，佩带着精致的珠子和金银装饰。很少有能与他们坟墓的华丽相媲美的。能够追溯这些仪式几千年的发展有助于我们理解人类智力和精神的发展。［B］ 到40万年前可以发现人们在非洲大部分地区狩猎和采集食物。不同地区的居民利用各种技术的发展来适应各自所处的不同环境与气候。［C］ 考古研究也提供了关于12万年前首先到达美洲的人类的许多信息。［D］ 最早的导管植物（即带有运载食物组织的陆地植物）的化石记录出现在志留纪时代。它们是没有形成独立的茎和叶的简单植物。［E］ 利特里甚至展现了360万年前的人类的足迹。一些遗址也包含了最早使用的简单工具的证据。考古学家们还记录了原始人类如何在约180万年前从非洲扩展到亚洲，然后在约90万年前进入欧洲的。［F］ 一个研究项目涉及对全美国现代城市垃圾的研究。这种垃圾相当于现代社会中发现的考古记录的遗骸。将来，考古学家会继续开拓新的研究领域。［G］ 其他代表人类伟大成就的遗址各式各样，像科罗拉多州梅莎尔地的古代阿纳萨齐人（北美洲的一群早期土著美国人）的崖下住居；位于秘鲁安梯斯山脉高处的马丘比丘的印加城；偏远的太平洋复活节岛上神秘而巨大的石刻人头肖像。试题精解

Part C
Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)（46）Any discussion of the American educational system would be less than complete if it did not mention the emphasis that many colleges and universities place upon the nonacademic, social,“extracurricular”aspect of education, often defined as personal growth. Perhaps a useful way of viewing the notion of personal growth would be to picture the very large and general term“education” as being all-embracing, including as subsets within it academic and nonacademic components.This may be one of the most difficult concepts to convey to someone who is not intimately familiar with American higher education. Few educational systems in other countries place the same emphasis on this blend of academic and personal education. The majority of colleges and universities in the United States make some attempt to integrate personal and intellectual growth in the undergraduate years. (47) If the ultimate goal of undergraduate education in America were simply to convey a set body of knowledge, the term of studies could undoubtedly be reduced. Yet the terms of studies are extended in order to give students a chance to grow and develop in other ways.Numerous opportunities are made available to students to become involved in sports, student government, musical and dramatic organizations, and countless other organized and individual activities designed to enhance one’s personal growth and provide some recreation and enjoyment outside of the classroom. (48)Experience with campus organizations and off-campus community involvement can be highly valuable in preparing international students for future leadership in their professional field upon their return home.The typical American college’s support for extracurricular activity is perhaps unique in the world, This special educational dimension, beyond the classroom and laboratory experience, does not mean that extracurricular participation is required to gain an American degree. It remains an entirely optional activity, but (49)it is noted here because Americans have traditionally viewed success in one’s role as a citizen as closely linked to a “well-rounded”life that incorporates a variety of social, athletic, and cultural activities into a person’s experience.A great many American campuses and communities have organized special extracurricular activities for students from other countries. (50) On most campuses, one can find an international club, which includes Americans, where students can get to know and learn socially from students from other countries, as well as Americans. International students are almost always invited, through organized hospitality activities, into the homes of Americans living in or outside the academic community.答案
46.如果对美国教育体系的讨论未能涉及许多学院及大学教育中非学术性的、社会的及“课程外”的方面，即其对个性成长的重视，那么这种讨论就不全面。47.假如美国本科教育的最终目的只是传授一定量的知识，那么学习的期限无疑就可以缩短。48.参与校园内的各种组织活动和校外团体活动的经验在培养国际学生归国后在其专业领域发挥领导作用方面是极有价值的。49.在这里特别提到的是因为美国人历来认为，一个人作为社会公民的成功是与包括各种各样的社会、体育和文化活动的个人经历的全方位的生活紧密相关的。50.在大多数的校园里都有国际俱乐部，成员包括美国学生。在俱乐部里，学生（包括美国学生）通过与来自其他国家的学生的社会交往相互认识并学习。总体分析
本文主要介绍了美国教育系统注重培养学生课外活动能力，促进学生个性发展的特点。第一至二段：指出美国本科教育努力将个性发展和智力发展相结合。第三至五段：这种教育特点与美国人关于成功的社会公民的观念相关，并有利于培养国际学生的领导和交际能力。试题精解
46．[精解] 本题考核的知识点是：条件状语从句、后置定语。该句子是含条件状语从句的主从复合句。句子的主干是：Any discussion … would be less than complete。If条件从句翻译时应前置，其中代词it指代主句主语Any discussion …。条件句中又含有that引导的定语从句修饰the emphasis。定语从句的主干是：… universities place （emphasis）upon the … education，句子最后的分词结构（which is）defined as personal growth是前面名词短语the nonacademic, social,“extracurricular”aspect of education的后置定语。由于名词短语中已含有多个形容词做定语，因此，句末的后置定语应采用拆译法，译成同位语。词汇方面：place emphasis upon (sth.)强调，重视；extracurricular课外的，业余的，extra-前缀意为“在外，外面”；personal growth个人成长。47．[精解] 本题考核的知识点是：条件状语从句、词义的选择。该句是含if条件句的主从复合句，而且是虚拟语气。词汇方面：convey意思是“运送；传达，表达”，文中和knowledge搭配应译为“传授”。a body of原意是“大量，大批，大堆”，加入set后，可译为“一定量的”。term意思是“学期，期限；条款，条件，术语”等，根据上下文将它确定为“期限”。48．[精解] 本题考核的知识点是：介词短语、词性转换。这是个简单句，其主干是experience can be valuable，句子中的修饰成分基本上都是介词短语。主语experience后with … involvement结构做后置定语，翻译时将它提前；in preparing …结构做状语，译为“在……方面”。词汇方面：off-campus校外，off-前缀意为“不在……上，离开，去掉”；involvement意为“参与，加入”，文中转译为动词。Upon可意为“……之后”。49．[精解] 本题考核的知识点是：状语从句、后置定语。该句是含原因状语从句的主从复合句，主句是it is noted here。Because引导的从句的主干是：Americans … viewed success …as closely linked to a “well-rounded”life，in one’s role as a citizen做后置定语修饰success，life后接有that引导的定语从句做定语。由于主句很短，而状语从句长且复杂，因此可以保留句子原来顺序。词汇方面：note意为“注意，留意；指出，特别提到”。well-rounded是形容词，意为“全面的，完善的”。incorporate sth. into sth.意为“将……包括在内，包含”。50．[精解] 本题考核的知识点是：定语从句。句子主干是one can find an international club，句首介词短语On most campuses做地点状语，club后接有which和where分别引导的两个定语从句。由于从句较长，采用拆译法单独成句。而且由于两个定语从句共用一个先行词club，因此它需要译两次。词汇方面：socially意为“在社交方面”。全文翻译
如果对美国教育体系的讨论未能涉及许多学院及大学教育中非学术性的、社会的及“课程外”的部分，即其对个性成长的重视，那么这种讨论就不全面。也许看待个性成长概念的一种有用的方法是将“教育”这个广泛而全面的术语描述为是包罗万象的，学术和非学术成分都作为子集包括其中。对于不特别熟悉美国高等教育的人来说，这也许是最难说明的概念之一。其他国家的教育系统很少这样同时重视学术和个性教育。美国大多数学院和大学努力在本科阶段将个性发展和智力发展结合起来。假如美国本科教育的最终目的只是传授一定量的知识，那么学习的期限无疑就可以缩短。然而学习的期限之所以延长，目的是让学生有机会以其他方式成长和发展。学生可获得大量的机会参与体育运动、学生政府、音乐和戏剧组织，及无数其他的为促进个人成长并提供课外消遣和娱乐的有组织的和个性化的活动。参与校园内的各种组织活动和校外团体活动的经验在培养国际学生归国后在其专业领域发挥领导作用方面是极有价值的。美国大学对课外活动的这种特有的支持可能在世界上是独一无二的。这种超出课堂和实验室经验的特殊教育内容，并不意味着要获得美国学历就必须参与课外活动。它仍然完全是可选择的活动，但是在这里特别提到它是因为美国人历来认为，一个人作为社会公民的成功是与包括各种各样的社会、体育和文化活动的个人经历的全方位的生活紧密相关的。许多美国校园和社团都为来自其他国家的学生组织了特别的课外活动。在大多数的校园里都有国际俱乐部，成员包括美国学生。在俱乐部里，学生（包括美国学生）通过与来自其他国家的学生的社会交往相互认识并学习。通过有组织的接待活动，国际学生几乎总是被邀请到居住在学术团体内或外的美国人家中。Section Ⅲ WritingPart A51.

Directions:Read the following saying and write an essay in which you should?1) interpret the saying,?2) give your comments onthe saying, and?3) write a title for your essay.?A woman’s career, particularly if it is successful, is often blamed for the break-up of a marriage, but never a man’s.?You should writ 160—200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)?参考范文A self-evident prejudice is made clear by the given saying that a woman’s career, particularly if it is successful, is often blamed for the break-up of a marriage, but never a man’s. Those who support the saying attribute the break-up of a marriage to the successful career of the wife. In their eyes, a successful woman devoted to her career will certainly neglect her duties to her husband, her children and thus results in the break-up of the family. This accusation is unfair and absolutely unacceptable.The prejudice lies in the fact that it has been branded in our mind that women should be inferior to men and they should be at home to foster children and to support their husband. In fact, women should be entitled the rights to have their own careers. They have the rights to get the satisfaction from work besides that from their families. This accusation ignores the fact that the responsibilities for break-up of a marriage should be taken by both parties instead of one. Cleary, to blame a carrer woman for the break-up of a marriage is groundless.As a conclusion, what has been traditionally taken for granted in our mind should be replaced by more rational ideas. From now on, it should be prescribed in our mind as law of various nations that everyone is born equal and they should be on equal terms.
