  Part Ⅱ
  Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
  Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed
  by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four
  choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark
  the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the
  center.
  Passage One
  Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
 
  When Kathie Gifford’s face was splashed across the newspapers in 1996 after
  her lucrative line of Walmart clothing was exposed as the work of underpaid
  laborers in New York City’s Chinatown, the Department of Labor and the White
  House teamed up to condemn such practices. With much fanfare, President Clinton’s
  administration launched the “No Sweat” campaign, which pressured retailers and
  manufacturers to submit to periodic independent inspection of their workplace
  conditions.\;
  This campaign urged manufacturers to sign the Workplace Code of Conduct, a promise
  to selfregulate that has since been adopted by a handful of retailers and many
  of the nation’s largest manufacturers, including Nike and L.L. Bean. However,
  the Department of Defense, which has a $ 1 billion garment business that would
  make it the country’s 14th largest retail apparel outlet, has not signed the
  Code of Conduct. In addition, it has not agreed to demand that its contractors
  submit to periodic inspections.\;
  Because the Department of Defense has not agreed to adhere to the code, the
  job of stopping publicsector sweatshops falls to the Department of Labor. Federal
  contractors that persist in violating wage laws or safety and health codes can
  lose their lucrative taxpayerfinanced contracts. But Suzanne Seiden, a deputy
  administrator at the Department of Labor, says that to her knowledge, the department
  has never applied that rule to government apparel manufacturers. “I just assume
  that they are adhering to safety and health requirements,” she says. According
  to records obtained by Mother Jones, through a Freedom of Information Act request,
  the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Lion 32 times for
  safety and health violations in the past 12 years.
  21.What is this passgage mainly concerned with?
  A)The functions of the Department of Labor in America.
  B)A serious problem threatening American economy.
  C)The successful attempt of regulating sweatshops in America.
  D)The seriousness of the problem of sweatshops in America.
 
  22.According to the passage, Kathie Gifford ____.
  A) was one of the underpaid laborers in New York City’s Chinatown
  B) was one of the wellpaid laborers in New York City’s Chinatown
  C) made much money from cheap laborers in New York City’s Chinatown
  D) wrote a newspaper article exposing the practice of employing cheap laborers
  
  23.The underlined phrase “to submit to” is closest in meaning to ____.
  A) to accept unwillingly
  B) to refuse coldly
  C) to welcome warmheartedly
  D) to blame strongly
 
  24.Which of the following statements about the Department of Defense is true?
  A) It will become the country’s 14th largest retail apparel manufacturer.
  B) It hasn’t acted according to the Workplace Code of Conduct.
  C) It has demanded its contractors to sign the Workplace Code of Conduct.
  D) It has teamed up with the Department of Labor to launch a campaign.
 
  25.What was the purpose of President Clinton’s administration launching the
  “No Sweat” campaign?
  A) To urge manufacturers to obey the Workplace Code of Conduct.
  B) To remind the manufacturers of the Workplace Code of Conduct.
  C) To urge the Department of Labor to take its responsibility.
  D) To urge the Department of Defense to inspect manufacturers.
 
  Passage Two
  Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
 
  The term investment portfolio conjures up visions of the truly rich-the Rockefellers,
  the WalMart Waltons, Bill Gates. But today, everyone-from the Philadelphia
  firefighter, his parttime receptionist wife and their three children, to the
  single Los Angeles lawyer starting out on his own-needs a portfolio.\;
  A portfolio is simply a collection of financial assets. It may include real
  estate, rare stamps and coins, precious metals and even artworks. But those
  are for people with expertise. What most of us need to know about are stocks,
  bonds and cash (including such cash equivalents as moneymarket funds).\;
  How do you decide what part of your portfolio should go to each of the big three?
  Begin by understanding that stocks pay higher returns but are more risky; bonds
  and cash pay lower returns but are less risky.\;
  Research by Ibbotson Associates, for example, shows that largecompany stocks,
  on average, have returned 11.2 percent annually since 1926. Over the same period,
  by comparison, bonds have returned an annual average of 5.3 percent and cash,
  3.8 percent.\;
  But shortterm risk is another matter. In 1974, a oneyear $1000 investment
  in the stock market would have declined to $735.\;
  With bonds, there are two kinds of risk: that the borrower won’t pay you back
  and that the money you’ll get won’t be worth very much. The U.S. government
  stands behind treasury bonds, so the credit risk is almost nil. But the inflation
  risk remains. Say you buy a $1000 bond maturing in ten years. If inflation averages
  about seven percent over that time, then the $1000 you receive at maturity can
  only buy $500 worth of today’s goods.\;
  With cash, the inflation risk is lower, since over a long period you can keep
  rolling over your CDs every year (or more often). If inflation rises, interest
  rates rise to compensate.\;
  As a result, the single most imortant rule in building a portfolio is this:
  If you don’t need the money for a long time, then put it into stocks. If you
  need it soon, put it into bonds and cash.
 
  26.This passage is intended to give advice on ____.
  A) how to avoid inflation risks
  B) what kinds of bonds to buy
  C) how to get rich by investing in stock market
  D) how to become richer by spreading the risk
 
  27.The author mentions such millionaires as the Rockefellers and Bill Gates
  to show that ____.
  A) they are examples for us on our road to wealth
  B) a portfolio is essential to financial success
  C) they are really rich people
  D) they started out on their own
 
  28.Which of the following statements will the author support?
  A) Everybody can get rich with some financial assets.
  B) The credit risk for treasury bonds is extremely high.
  C) It’s no use trying to know the advantages of stocks, bonds and cash.
  D) Everybody should realize the importance of distribution of their financial
  assets.
  29.The word “returns” in paragraph three can be best replaced by “____.”
  A) returning journeys
  B) profits
  C) savings
  D) investments
 
  30.The author of the passage points out that ____.
  A) keeping cash is the only way to avoid risks
  B) the longer you own a stock, the more you lost
  C) the high rate of profit and high rate of risk coexist in stocks
  D) the best way to accumulate wealth is by investing in stocks
 
  Passage Three
  Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
 
  There were two widely divergent influences on the early development of statistical
  methods. Statistics had a mother who was dedicated to keeping orderly records
  of governmental units (state and statistics come from the same Latin root, status)
  and a gentlemanly gambling father who relied on mathematics to increase his
  skill at playing the odds in games of chance. The influence of the mother on
  the offspring, statistics, is represented by counting, measuring, describing,
  tabulating, ordering, and the taking of censuses—all of which led to modern
  descriptive statistics. From the influence of the father came modern inferential
  statistics, which is based squarely on theories of probability.\;
  Descriptive statistics involves tabulating, depicting, and describing collections
  of data. These data may be either quantitative, such as measures of height,
  intelligence, or grade level—variables that are characterized by an underlying
  continuum—or the data many represent qualitative variables, such as sex, college
  major, or personality type. Large masses of data must generally undergo a process
  of summarization or reducing to comprehensibly form the properties of an otherwise
  unwieldy mass of data.\;
  Inferential statistics is a formalized body of methods for solving another class
  of problems that present great difficulties for the unaided human mind. This
  general class of problems characteristically involves attempts to make predictions
  using a sample of observations. For example, a school superintendent wishes
  to determine the proportion of children in a large school system who come to
  school without breakfast, have been vaccinated for flu, or whatever. Having
  a little knowledge of statistics, the superintendent would know that it is unnecessary
  and inefficiency to question each child; the proportion for the entire district
  could be estimated fairly accurately from a sample of as few as 100 children.
  Thus, the purpose of inferential statistics is to predict or estimate characteristics
  of a population from a knowledge of the characteristics of only a sample of
  the population.
 
  31.What is the passage mainly concerned with?
  A) Development and application of statistics.
  B) Origin of descriptive statistics.
  C) Limitations of inferential statistics.
  D) Importance of statistics.
 
  32.Describing and tabulating are associated with ____.
  A) inferential statistics
  B) descriptive statistics
  C) theories of probability
  D) inefficiency of counting
 
  33.Which of the following statements is true about descriptive statistics?
  A) It combines quantitative variables and qualitative variables.
  B) It can be used to deal with only quantitative variables.
  C) It helps to summarize properties of a group of data.
  D) It helps to make predictions using a sample of observations.
 
  34.The word “unwieldy” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
  A) difficult to collect 　　B) difficult to tackle
  C) incomprehensive　　D) uncontrollable
 
  35.A sample of a population is often examined for the following purposes except
  ____.
  A) to make a more accurate prediction of trend
  B) to improve efficiency and avoid unnecessary work
  C) to save the trouble of approaching every members
  D) to predict characteristics of the entire population
 
  Passage Four
  Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
 
  The Japanese are fascinated by automata and new inventions. Japanese children
  are used to friendly robots in their comics, in toys, and in TV animated cartoons.
  When as adults they join the workforce,robots mean that there is no need to
  import cheap foreign labor, as happens in many other parts of the world. There
  is no need for humans to put up with dirty, minddeadening mechanical work the
  robot does it all without complaint, around the clock. Robots don’t go on strike
  over tea breaks they don’t have tea, or any other kind of breaks:they work,
  day and night, without having to be paid overtime, without making mistakes.
  Human tasks are subject to human error: robot error seldom or never occurs except
  as a result of human error!\;
  In Japan, robots are almost respected for their virtues. When a new robot is
  introduced to a small suburban factory, a Shinto priest is invited to inaugurate
  it. He inaugurates the robot with words along the lines of “Welcome to our coworker,
  we hope you’ll help him settle in.” No one laughs.\;
  FANUC demonstrates the Japanese tendency to conform particularly strikingly.
  The founder of FANUC, Dr. Inaba, has created an army that makes no distinction
  between bluecollar, whitecollar and steelcollar worker: everyone, including
  the warlord himself, is dressed in yellow clothing issued free by the company.
  Perh
  aps to make up for the boring nature of the work, there are a number of other
  company perks. Company benefits, including pay, are much higher than in similar
  companies in Japan. Travel to and from work is provided free in the company’s
  yellow buses. However, workers are expected to put in demanding unpaid “overtime.”
  There is a clock in the product development laboratory set to run at ten times
  the normal speed, the remind everyone that the company is on a war footing.\;
  As we watched Dr. Inaba’s yellow helicopter soar away to Narita airport, we
  couldn’t help thinking that his dream of world domination in robotics and allied
  applications might be more elegantly achieved if he had also thought to program
  his robots to whistle while they work.
 
  36.According to the author, which of the following is not true to the Japanese?
  A) Robots mean there is no need to import cheap foreign labor.
  B) Robots mean that humans needn’t do dirty and noisy work.
  C) Robots mean there are no strikes nor overtimes.
  D) Robots mean there is no mistake in any form.
 
  37.What can be inferred form the words “He inaugurates the robot with words
  along the lines of ‘Welcome to our coworker, we hope you’ll help him settle
  in.’No one laughs.”?
  A) The Japanese has no sense of humor while at work.
  B) The Japanese does not understand the words of the Shinto priest.
  C) The Japanese shows a true respect for robots.
  D) The Japanese goes too far in their respect for robots.
 
  38.Which of the following is not true about FANUC?
  A) Workers receive higher pay for working overtime.
  B) Workers enjoy free travel to and from work.
  C) Workers are doing boring, sometimes demanding work.
  D) Workers are reminded of being on a war footing.
 
  39.What is not implied in the following works “we couldn’t help thinking that
  his dream of world domination in robotics and allied applications might be more
  elegantly achieved if he had also thought to program his robots to whistle while
  they work.”?
  A) Our technology is not yet up to the needs of Dr. Inaba’s dream.
  B) Dr. Inaba’s dream of world domination in robotics lacks humanity.
  C) Dr. Inaba’s dream of allied applications is too practical.
  D) The author is in favor of Dr. Inaba’s dream.
 
  40.What does “our coworker” refer to in the sentence “Welcome to our coworker,
  we hope you’ll help him settle in?”
  A) Japanese workers who attend the inauguration.
  B) The introduced robot.
  C) The people who have invented the robot.
  D) Japanese workers in general.

  Section B
  Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people
  are anxious and (11) selfconscious; that is, they are excessively concerned
  with their own appearance and actions. (12)Worrisome thoughts are constantly
  occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like
  me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing (13)unattractive clothes?
  It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people (14)adversely.
  A person’s selfconcept is (15)reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the
  way a person behaves affects other people’s (16)reactions. In general, the way
  people think about themselves has a (17)profound effect on all areas of their
  lives.\;Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their
  inferiority. (18)They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because
  they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a compliment
  with a statement like this one：“You’re just saying that to make me feel good.
  I know it’s not true.” (19)It is clear that, while selfawareness is a healthy
  quality, overdoing it is harmful.
  Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? (20)Since shyness
  goes hand in hand with lack of selfesteem, it is important for people to accept
  their weaknesses as well as their strengths. People’s expectations of themselves
  must be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy.
 
  答案与详解
  Part Ⅰ
  Section A
  1.【答案】D。
  【试题分析】判断推理题。
  【详细解答】男士不明白其妻子为什么总是以否定的态度看待一切，女士说他应该了解一下其妻子孩童时代的事情。从这位女士的话中可以推断出，其妻子的悲观态度可能是自小形成的，即D。
  2.【答案】B。
  【试题分析】判断推理题。
  【详细解答】男士让女士描述一下当时的情形，女士说当时她正在睡觉，突然听到一阵可怕的声音，地板掀了起来，并像波浪一样摇晃，而这一切都是同时发生的。这显然不会是发生了暴风雪（snowstorm）和交通事故（traffic
  accident），飓风（hurricane）也不会掀起室内地板。所以四个选项中，地震（earthquake）是最符合这一情形的。
  3.【答案】C。
  【试题分析】分析比较题。
  【详细解答】女士昨天在儿童文学班碰到彼德，感到很诧异；于是问彼德是不是也主修基础教育（这句话表明她自己主修基础教育，即C项）。彼德说不是（可以排除B项），他主修心理学，因为学习发展心理学的需要而前来听课。再比较四个选项，他们显然不是同学（可以排除A），因为女士碰到男士时感到吃惊；他们也不是在班上认识的（可以排除D），因为他们并不在同一个班。

  9.【答案】B。
  【试题分析】获取信息题。
  【详细解答】女士说出她的最低价，并表示不能再让步；男士说如果是这样，就无需再讨论了，他们将取消整笔交易。关键词是rock-bottom price（最低价），can

  Section B
  内容概要:
  本段听力材料讲的是羞怯的人常见的行为方式，他们给周围人所带来的不良影响以及这些人的内心想法。作者认为羞怯的人应该对自己有个正确而现实的认识，不要生活在一些不可能的假设之中。
  11.【答案】self-conscious
  【详细解答】本空所在的这一句中，前面有anxious和and，可以肯定11是一个与anxious（忧虑的）相近的形容词。再看前面的主语是shy people，那么羞怯的人一般是忧虑和忸怩。结合音，可知此空应填self-conscious（不自然的；忸怩的）。
  12.【答案】Worrisome
  【详细解答】从本句结构来看，空处应填一个形容词，而且修饰thoughts（想法）。羞怯的人心中常常会有什么样的想法呢？从录音中很容易听出worry这个词的音，但该词不能作形容词用。那么以worry的音开头的形容词有哪些呢？有worried，
  worrying， worrisome， worriless。从意思上看，worriless应该去掉。再结合该单词的后半部分发音，可知应该填worrisome（使人烦恼的）。
  13.【答案】unattractive
  【详细解答】本空前面讲了一串使人烦恼的想法：我会给别人留下什么样的印象？他们喜欢我吗？我听起来很愚蠢吗？我穿的是____的衣服吗？所以空处应填一形容词，表示不受欢迎的或不引人注意的意思。再结合发音，很容易听出attractive的音，但意思反了；想到其义词并根据其前缀的发音，即可猜出是unattractive。
  14.【答案】adversely
  【详细解答】从本句意思来看，说的是上述提及的一些不舒服的感觉会影响人们，所以这种影响肯定是负面的或不利的；再从句子结构来看，前半部分是完整的句子，所以空处应该是一个状语，只填一个词的话，那么应是一个副词。表示“负面的，不利的”含义的一个副词，再结合发音，可以得知是adversely，本词是典型的adj.
  + ly构成的副词。
  15.【答案】reflected
  【详细解答】从句子结构来看，空处是在系动词is之后，所以应填一个作表语的词或动词的过去分词表示被动语态；再看句子意思，一个人对自我的看法是通过其行为方式所____的，很明显，此处应填“反映出，表达出”含义的词；再听发音，可以得知reflected。事实上，该词的发音比较容易辨别。
  16.【答案】reactions
  【详细解答】此句讲的是一个人的行为方式影响别人的____，所以空处应填一个表示“情绪，反应，看法”等含义的名词；再细听音，很容易辨别为reactions。需注意的是应用其复数形式。
  17.【答案】profound
  【详细解答】此空前面是冠词a，后面是名词effect，所以空处应填一个辅音开头的形容词；再看句子意思，人们看待自己的方式对他们生活的各个方面产生____的影响，空处意思应为“深远的，重大的，较大的”等含义；再仔细听音，不难知道答案。
  18.【答案】They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they
  believe they are unworthy of praise.
  【详细解答】本空要求填一个句子。填句子的基本要求是与前后句在意思上要连贯，没有语法和拼写错误。本空前面是讲羞怯的人对于批评很敏感，后面是说他们通常会说一些消极的话来回应别人的称赞，那么空处的意思应该是讲他们对待称赞的态度，而且这种态度肯定是不高兴的。其中有一个关键词compliment，后面已经出现了。再结合发音，可以得知该句是带有原因状语从句的一个复合句，从句中难点是unworthy
  of praise，也可以写成they don’t deserve praise。
  19.【答案】It is clear that， while self-awareness is a healthy quality， overdoing
  it is harmful.
  【详细解答】从前后文来看，本句话应是作者对前面羞怯的人所说的一句话的评论。前面一句话为“你们这样说是为了让我感觉良好，但我知道这是不真实的”，那么作者对这句话的评价肯定是否定的，因为这些人的自知之明太过了。再听音，self-awareness是一个关键词，但前面出现过类似的词，如：self-conscious，
  self-concept；难点是overdoing，可以根据句子意思再结合音来猜测，而且要注意变为动名词形式。同时要注意本句中间插有一个比较状语从句，要注意断句。
  20. 【答案】Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem， it is important
  for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.
  【详细解答】本句话是回答前面的问句。前面问：羞怯感能否完全消除，或者减弱？作者紧接着侧面回答了如何来减弱。当听到since这个词引导从句时，应该想到本句又是一个带状语从句的复合句。有几个短语：hand
  in hand with（手拉手，紧紧相连），as well as（也……，和……一起），关键词有self-esteem（该词的形近词前面已经出现了几次），weakness和strength一对反义词。在听第二遍和第三遍时应重点抓住这些短语和关键词，整个句子便可轻松写出来。
 
  Part Ⅱ
  Passage One
  内容概要:
  本文讲述了美国“工作场所操作规范”诞生的背景和实施情况。1996年，美国一些地方和部门的低收入工人抗议血汗工厂，随后克林顿政府发起“无血汗”运动，要求零售商和制造商签署《工作场所操作规范》。可是国防部拒绝执行；美国劳工部作为政府部门，却称主要要求制造商们遵守安全和卫生规定。
  21.【答案】D。
  【译文】这篇文章主要讲述什么？
  【试题分析】归纳概括题(Summing up and summarizing)，这种试题要求学生能把握文章的总体，并真正理解主题和中心大意。
  【详细解答】文章从开始就讲述众多的低收入工人集体抗议工作条件，导致Kathie Gifford的服装厂被曝光；于是克林顿政府发起“无血汗”运动，可是国防部拒绝签署《工作场所操作规范》，劳工部却称该部门主要要求制造商们遵守安全和卫生规定。可见美国政府部门对于血汗工厂的问题存有分歧，也难以解决。所以文章的中心大意是美国血汗工厂的问题目前最严重的地方是美国政府对此的态度不够统一和坚决。A）太偏，不是讲美国劳工部的职能；B）太泛，没有指明哪个问题，也不一定威胁到美国的经济；C）与文章意思相反，美国规范血汗工厂的努力并没有成功。D）最符合文章主题。
  22.【答案】C。
  【译文】根据本文，Kathie Gifford____ ？
  【试题分析】细节理解题(Understanding details)。这类题一般只针对文章中某一个特定的细节，也可以涉及若干个细节，或者针对文章的主要事实而设问。
  【详细解答】见文章第一句话“When Kathie Gifford...condemn such practices.”，Kathie Gifford的高利润的服装厂曝光了，之后她于1996年在报纸上被广泛报道。所以C）为正确答案。A）和B）与本句意思不符，她不是一名工人；D）说她写文章报道此事，也不对。
  23.【答案】A。
  【译文】与划线短语“to submit to” 意思最接近的是下列哪一项？
  【试题分析】猜测词义题(Guessing at word meaning)。即运用一些猜测生词词义的方法，猜测生词的含义，以提高阅读速度和理解能力。
  【详细解答】可以对上下文已知部分进行逻辑的推理。前面讲到克林顿发起的“无血汗”运动勒令零售商和制造商对车间环境进行定期检查，他们肯定是不情愿的，但这是总统的命令，所以他们就“不情愿地接受”。B）“冷冷地拒绝”；C）“热烈地欢迎”；D）“强烈地谴责”均与上下文意思不符。
  24.【答案】B。
  【译文】下列关于国防部的陈述哪一项是正确的？
  【试题分析】分析判断题(Making an analysis and a judgment)。即根据文章中提供的事实，经过分析、思考做出这样或那样的判断选择。
  【详细解答】这类题需要事先通读全文，理解全文主旨，尤其是关于国防部的内容；然后再将四个选项进行比较，用排除法。A）国防部是美国第14大零售服装制造商，这与文章中retail
  apparel outlet（零售服装批发商店）不符；B）它没有按照《工作场所操作规范》行事，这与文章中has not signed the code
  of conduct正好相符；C）它要求承包商签署《工作场所操作规范》， 这与文章中it has not agreed to demand that its
  contractors submit to periodic inspections.相反；D）它要求劳工部发起一场运动，文章中没有提及。所以，对比分析可得知B为正确答案。
  25.【答案】A。
  【译文】克林顿政府发起“无血汗”运动的目的是什么？
  【试题分析】细节理解中的词义转换题。这种题常常是原文有关词语和句子的转换，而不能在原文中直接找到。它要求考生能理解原文中某个短语或句子的含义，从而找到与答案意思相同的词语和句子。
  【详细解答】文章第一段最后一句话“with much fanfare， ...， their workplace conditions.”是说，克林顿政府借此小题大做，以勒令制造商们对车间环境进行定期检查。关键词有pressure（强制，压迫，勒令），to
  submit to（屈服，服从）。第二段第一句话“this campaign urged manufacturers to sign the Conduct.”更加直接说明了这场运动的目的，即让他们签署并执行这一规范。故A）为正确答案。
  Passage Two
  内容概要:
  本文介绍了大众化投资的三种渠道，并分析了每种渠道的基本特征和适用对象。第一种是股票投资，回报丰厚，但风险较大；第二种是债券投资，回报稍少，但风险也较小，主要风险是借债人不还和通货膨胀；第三种是投资现金，回报较少，通货膨胀影响也较小。基本原则是：如果你长期不需要用钱，就投资股票；如果你短期内要用钱，就投资债券和现金。
  26.【答案】D。
  【译文】文章的目的是给____提供建议？
  【试题分析】归纳概括题。需要考生总结归纳短文(段落)的主题(subject)，中心思想(main idea)，标题(title)或作者的写作目的(purpose)。
  【详细解答】通读全文后可知，本文主要介绍了投资的三种渠道，并分析了每种渠道的利弊（即风险程度），如何降低风险来投资致富，即D所指“如何降低风险来致富”。A）“如何避免通货膨胀风险”，过于片面；B）“买入哪种债券”，不是文章的主题；C）“如何通过投资股票市场致富”，也过于片面。所以D）为正确答案，可以概括文章中心思想。
  27.【答案】D。
  【译文】作者提及洛克菲勒、比尔盖茨这样的百万富翁是想说明____？
  【试题分析】推理判断题。根据文章某一部分内容推理出作者的言外之意。需要找准、读懂这部分内容，并分析与文章其它部分之间的联系和作用。
  【详细解答】第一段最后一句话，“But today， ...， starting out on his own needs a portfolio.”这是讲的今天每个人都可以根据自己的需要进行证券投资；推到前面一句，那么前面提及的百万富翁也都是根据自己的需要开始证券投资而致富的。A）“他们是我们迈向致富之路的榜样”，不具体，没有说明如何致富；B）“证券投资对于经济成功很关键”，这句话本身是正确的，但与第一段表达的意思不一致；C）“他们确实很富裕”，也不是第一段所想要表达的意思。D）“他们是从自己开始做起的”，这正是第一段所要表达的意思，即这些百万富翁是从自己做起开始致富的，而现在每个人都可以这样做，紧接着引入下面的投资指南。
  28.【答案】D。
  【译文】作者赞同下列哪一项陈述？
  【试题分析】分析判断题。考生尽量考虑文中的全部信息或事实，在通盘理解文章的基础上去分析每个选项的正误。
  【详细解答】这类题应在理解文章的基础上，着重比较四个选项，采取排除法。A）“只要有一些财产，每个人都可以致富”，凭常识判断这句话本身就不对，更与作者想要介绍投资渠道的必要性和方法相悖；B）“购买国债的信誉风险极高”，这句话与“The
  U.S. government stands behind Treasury bonds， so the credit risk is almost nil.”意思完全相反；C）“了解股票、债券和现金的优势并无用处”，这与作者的观点相反；D）“每个人都应该意识到金融财产重新分配的重要性。”这正是第一段作者所说的“每个人都可以根据自己的需要采用不同的投资方式致富”的前提。故选D）。
  29.【答案】B。
  【译文】第三段中的“returns”可以由以下哪个词替代？
  【试题分析】猜测词义题。根据上下文来猜测生词的含义。
  【详细解答】该词本身的意思是“回来，回报”，再看句子“stocks pay higher returns but are more risky.”是说股票有更高的回报，但风险更大；我们凭常识判断，股票的回报就是“赚钱，利润”。比较四个选项，B）profits（利润）正确。
  30.【答案】C。
  【译文】文章的作者指出____
  【试题分析】分析判断题。比较四个选项，看哪一个符合作者的意思。
  【详细解答】“作者指出”可以是文章中直接提到的，也可以是作者的言外之意，要结合文章判断四个选项本身是否正确。A）“保留现金是避免风险的唯一方式”，作者鼓励合理投资，显然这不是作者意思；B）“你持有股票越久，你损失越大。”这句话本身有误，文章中也没有提及；C）“高利润和高风险在股票市场中同时存在”，这正是第三段中“stocks
  pay higher returns but are more risky.”意思，所以正确；D）“积累财富最好的方式是投资股票”，作者在文章最后明确指出“如果你长期不需要用钱，就投资股票；如果你短期要用，就投资债券和现金。”所以该项也不正确。
  Passage Three
  内容概要:
  本文介绍了两种基本统计方法的发展及它们的应用。第一种是描述性统计方法，包括计算、测量、列表、排序、描述以及调查，既可统计数量也可统计质量；第二种是推理统计方法，主要是抽样分析，然后推而广之，得出结论。
  31.【答案】A。
  【译文】本文主要讲述什么？
  【试题分析】典型的归纳概括题，要求考生归纳总结文章的中心思想。
  【详细解答】首先细想一下全文的内容概要，再看四个选项。A）“统计学的发展与应用”，正是文章所讲的主要内容；B）“描述性统计”的起源，只说了文章中很小的一个方面；C）“推理统计方法的局限性”，文章中没有提及；D）“统计的重要性”，不是本文的重点。综合比较，A）正确。
  32.【答案】B。
  【译文】描述和列表与____相关？
  【试题分析】细节理解题。找到文章中相关的内容，理解其含义，然后做答。
  【详细解答】从文章的第二段可以得知，描述和列表是描述性统计方法的两种形式。再看四个选项。A）“推理性统计”，没有任何关系；B）“描述性统计”，正好相关；C）“可能性理论”，从第一段末可知，该理论是用于推理性统计的；D）“计算的无效”，与文章内容不符。故选B）。
  33.【答案】C。
  【译文】关于描述性统计下列哪一个陈述是正确的？
  【试题分析】分析判断题。对比分析，存真去伪。
  【详细解答】仔细比较四个选项。A）“它将数量变量和质量变量结合起来了”，这误解了第二段中第二句话“either...or...”句型，要么是数量变量，要么是质量变量；B）“它只能用来处理数量变量”，也与上面句型含义相悖；C）“它有助于总结一组数据的特征”，这正是第二段最后一句话“Large
  masses of data... the properties of an otherwise unwieldy mass of data.”的含义；D）“它有助于使用观察抽样进行预测”，这是推理性统计。所以选C）。
  34.【答案】B。
  【译文】与第二段中“unwieldy” 单词意思最接近的是____
  【试题分析】猜测词义题。通过上下文的含义猜测生词的词义，将四个选项分别放到原句子中去比较也不失为一种好办法。
  【详细解答】第二段最后一句话“Large masses of data... the properties of an otherwise unwieldy
  mass of data.”的意思是说，大量的数据群必须要有一个总结或减收的过程，以从可能是乱七八糟的数据群中找出其特征，关键词是otherwise，表示前后有个对比。可见后面提及的unwieldy
  mass of data是难以处理的数据。再看四个选项：A）“难以收集”，文章没有提收集；B）“难以处理”，与上下文正好相符；C）“不可理解的”，前面说将它们整理成容易理解的形式，可见它们还是“可以理解的”；D）“不可控制的”，与句意不符。故选B）。
  35.【答案】A。
  【译文】人口抽样经常用于下列目的，哪一项除外？
  【试题分析】细节理解题。找到文章中关于人口抽样的内容，再进行比较选择。但要注意选的是除外的那一项。
  【详细解答】文章最后一段讲到抽样100个小孩来进行分析预测。A）“进行更加准确的趋势预测”，抽样本身就不可能是为了更加“准确”，所以A错，应该选A。B）“提高效率，避免不必要工作”，这正是抽样的作用；C）“省去找每个成员的麻烦”，这也正是人口抽样的优势；D）“预测全体人群的特征”，正是人口抽样的目的。所以选A）。
  Passage Four
  内容概要:
  本文介绍了机器人在日本的迅速发展和广泛应用。机器人在实际工作岗位上可以替代工人完成大量的工作，并表现出诸多的优势。正因为机器人的优点，日本人通常要举行隆重的仪式欢迎机器人投入工厂作业。日本著名的机器人专家伊纳巴博士发明了大量机器人，正梦想着统治全世界的机器人行业。
  36.【答案】B。
  【译文】根据作者的观点，下列哪一项对于日本人来讲是不正确的？
  【试题分析】分析判断题。通读全文，并仔细比较四个选项；但要注意选择不正确的那一项。
  【详细解答】在理解全文的基础上，比较四个选项。A）是第一段第三句话的原话，所以正确；B）“机器人意味着人们不必从事肮脏和吵闹的工作”，与第一段第四句话含义有所区别，原文是说，有了机器人人们就没有必要“忍受（put
  up with）肮脏、吵闹的工作，所以B与原文意思不完全一致；C）和D）也是文章中所提及的。相比较，A）、C）和D）都是文章中的原话，只有B）不符原意。故选B。
  37.【答案】C。
  【译文】“他在为机器人举行典礼仪式时，说这样的话‘欢迎光临我们的这位同事，我们希望你能帮助他安顿下来。’没有一个人笑”，从这句话可以推断出什么？
  【试题分析】细节推理题。理解这句话的含义，然后推理出其中的深层含义，可进行比较选择。
  【详细解答】这句话是对上帝说的。在场的人都很肃穆，没有一个人笑，说明日本人在这种场合表现出虔诚，这是对机器人的一种尊敬。四个选项中，C）最符合原意。日本人不笑并不能说明他们没有幽默感，也不是没有听懂牧师的话，他们的尊敬也没有过头，所以A）、B）、D）均不符题意。
  38.【答案】A。
  【译文】下列关于FANUC的陈述哪一个不正确？
  【试题分析】分析判断题。
  【详细解答】文章倒数第二段中提到FANUC，这是日本一家专门研制机器人的公司。A）“工人们在加班时会有更高的回报”，可是文章中有一句话：“However，
  workers are expected to put in demanding unpaid overtime.”这种overtime是unpaid（没有报酬的），所A不正确。B）、C）、D）选项均为文章中的原话。故选A）。
  39.【答案】A。
  【译文】“我们禁不住这样认为，如果他也想到将他的机器人设计为边工作边吹口哨，那么他统治全世界机器人行业和相关应用的梦想就会更加娴雅地实现。”下列哪句话不是由这段文字推断出来的？
  【试题分析】分析判断题。
  【详细解答】这段文字中think的宾语从句中使用的是虚拟语气，表示不可能的假设，同时对Inada没有想到这样做表示一种遗憾和惋惜。A）是表示我们的技术还不足以让Inada实现梦想，原文中是说他的梦想会更加娴雅地实现，意即他的梦想已经实现，所以A错；B）和C）均是说他的梦想太现实，缺乏人性，他设计的机器人并没有边工作边吹口哨（这代表一种休闲的工作方式），而作者认为这样，所以B和C均对；D）是说作者赞同Inada博士的梦想，从文字的语气中可以得知作者是希望他实现梦想的，而且还提出了更好地实现梦想的建议，所以D也对。根据题意的要求，选A。
  40.【答案】B。
  【译文】“欢迎光临我们的这位同事，我们希望你能帮助他安顿下来。”这句话中的“co-worker”指什么？
  【试题分析】猜测词义题。根据上下文猜测文中的指代名词，这需要分析这个指代名词的真正所指。
  【详细解答】这句话中，这位同事（co-worker）显然与后半句中的“他”是同指，“他”安顿下来，那么“他”指什么呢？结合这是机器人投入使用的典礼仪式，是谁安顿下来呢？显然就是即将投入使用的机器人。所以“这位同事”（co-worker）是指即将投入使用的机器人，即B。
  Part Ⅲ
  41.【答案】C。

  【试题分析】词语辨析题，要求考生能够辨析几个形式和意思容易混淆的单词，该词可以分为两组，每组中的两个词区别均较小。
  【详细解答】minimal常表示较小的，maximal指最大的，最高的，minimum常置于名词之前，表示“最低限度、最低值”，maximum则指最大量，或最多的。根据词意，我们可以排除表示“最高的”B、D两个选项；minimal多指数量上的较小，minimum是最常用的表示最低限度的词，且置于名词前面。

  Part Ⅳ
  71.redistributing改为redistribute。attempt to 后面一般接动词原型，而不接动名词，因为这里的to是不定式符号，而不是介词，即attempt
  to do sth.。
  72.you 改为others。此句是说，如果一部分相对比较穷，那么一部分人就会相对比较富。将人群分为两部分，此处就不能用you，others才可以表示人群的一部分。
  73.在interests和than中间加上rather。此句不是表示比较（than），而是表示转折（公众政策反映他们的利益，而不是穷人的利益），所以应该用rather
  than （而不是）代替than。
  74.doing改为done。此句是被动语态，表示“脏活被完成”，get 是系动词，所以应用do的过去分词形式done。
  75.will改为would。此句使用了虚拟语气，表示对现在情况的假设，所以主句应用would。
  76.cookers改为cooks。厨师是cook，而不cooker。cooker指炊具，与后面的“gardener（园丁）and other workers”不一致，所以应改为厨师（cook）。
  77.when改为while。此处不是表示时间上的同时性，而是表示两种情形的对比，“一些人在做……，而另一些人在做……”。表示对比的连词一般用while。
  78.去掉more。inferior本身就表示“低级的”，已经构成了比较形式，所以前面一般不能再加more。
  79.petent 改为incompetent。此句讲的是穷人所能享受的服务，过期的面包、报废的汽车，还有不合格的医生和律师所提供的建议。如果是competent，则成了合格的医生和律师所提供的建议，那么与整句意思不符。
  80.去掉in。此句中的which引导非限定性定语从句，作influence和change的直接宾语，因为influence和change均为及物动词，所以不能加in。
  Part Ⅴ
  写作指导：
  这是一篇限制性提纲作文。由于已经给出了写作主题和段落模式，所以必须紧扣标题，严格遵守提纲，达到规定字数。构思时结构一定要清晰，建议使用四段式，第一段综述，第二、三段分述，第四段做总结，二、三段是重点。可将提纲中的两点作为第二段和第三段的主题句，但不要逐字翻译，然后再找2～3个与主题相关的素材展开说明。另外还需注意：①写好第一句话。这样容易给阅卷者留下一个好印象，最好能用上一个漂亮的复合句，里面再用上2～3个难的单词或词组，但不能出错。②在写作时尽量多用长句，少用短句，适当加入几个结构较复杂的句子。可多用连接性的词组或单词，如first，
  second， moreover， for one thing...for another， on the one hand...on the other
  hand等等。可以把它们置于段首或文中比较显著的位置，这样会使文章更具条理性。③注意结尾的时候要点题，把自己的观点明确说出来。文章不要写得太长，这样容易引起阅卷者的反感，达到字数就可以了。④如有可能，适当加上一两句名言或是谚语，以显示你的水平。最后要注意没有语法错误，并保持卷面干净整洁。
  本文可以这样写：首先第一段介绍在生活和工作节奏不断加快的今天，人们会碰到各种各样的个人危机，如：工作事业上的，婚恋家庭上的，人际关系上的等等；第二段则按照提纲中的第一点重点分析造成个人危机的起因，主要有自身处理事物能力不足，外部环境较为不利，以及运气不佳等等；第三段则根据提纲中第二点提出应对个人危机的方法，要根据第二段中的起因来提应对方法，可以写需要个人有坚强的意志毅力和不懈的努力奋斗，积极改善外部环境，善于抓住机遇；第四段可以适应发挥，进一步阐明自己的观点，并提出希望。
  当然，也可以按照提纲就写两段，只要说清问题即可。
  参考范文：
  How to Deal with Personal Crisis
  Since different person may come across different crisis， it is difficult to
  answer why personal crisis will happen and what leads to the situation. It depends.
  But the main origins and causes can be concluded in the following three aspects：
  lack of strong mind and personal incompetence to overcome difficulty， disadvantageous
  surroundings， and bad luck. Only when one person does well in all these three
  aspects， can he or she avoid personal crisis.
  But anyway， All is not lost that is in danger. Every cloud has a silver lining.
  One will surely come out from the crisis if he masters the right methods. At
  first， he should envisage the crisis with the right eye. And then， he should
  be strongly-minded and be perseverant all the time. Thirdly， he should try his
  best to improve relation with his boss， colleagues， partners， friends， and his
  family members in order to get a better surrounding. At last， he should try
  to grasp every chance to make progress. In this way， the crisis can be transferred
  to success.
