Ⅲ．Reading Comprehension
Thousands of years before Columbus came to the New World, the American Indian entered North America by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia．The migrants entered a new world in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests where nuts, roots, and berries could be gathered.
　　When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the settlers how to plant corn, make canoes, and smoke tobacco. In return the whites introduced horses, guns, gun-powder, alcohol and – and smallpox. But at last, there were struggles for land, and struggles could have only one result war. When the wars were over, all Indians were moved to large tracts of land called reservations. Now, some of them, embittered by past mistreatment, are determined to preserve their tribal life: some wish to modernize the reservations. These alternatives, with many variations, are what most Indians have chosen – a future in modern technology and – education, or the rival of ancient tradition and treaties.
　　21．Which of the following is not true about the American Indians?
　　A．They had come to the New World thousands of years ago before Columbus discovered the New World.
　　B．They arrived in North America by crossing the sea.
　　C．They were good at planting corn.

　 　　 　　答案：B
　　[解析]问“关于美国印第安人下面那个陈述不对？” A “他们在哥伦布发现美洲之前就到了美洲，” 文中第一段第一句言明此意，故为真。B “他们由海路来到美洲。” 文中第一句讲到是由当时连接阿拉斯加和西伯利亚的陆地。故 B不真，为正确答案。 C “他们善于种植玉米。”文中第二段第一句言明此意。 D “他们是亚洲人的祖先。” 文中第一段第一句讲他们是从西伯利亚来的，故为真。 
 
22．Which of the following is true about the Europeans who came to the New World?
　　A．They taught the Indians how to make canoes.
　　B．They were on good terms with the Indians at first.
　　C．They fought with the Indians for their religious faith.
　　D．They were forced to move to the large tracts of land. 
 
　 　　 　　答案：B
　　［解析］问“关于到美洲来的欧洲人下面哪个陈述为真？”A“他们教印第安人制造独木舟”，文中第二段第一句讲是印第安人教他们，故不真。B“起初，他们和印第安人保持较好的关系。”从文中第二段第一、儿句看，既然他们与印第安人相互学习，关系理当不错。故为真，显然是正确答案。C“他们为宗教信仰与印第安人作战。”第二段第三句讲是为土地而战，故不真。D“他们被迫移居到有大片土地的地区。”文中第二段第四句可知是印第安人而不是他们，故不真。
 
23．Which of the following is the main reason which led to the wars between the settlers and Indians?
　　A．Both of them wanted to remain and got more land.
　　B．Both of them wanted to move to large tracts of land called reservation.
　　C．Both of them wanted to control the other.
　　D．Both of them disliked each other. 
 
　 　　 　　答案：A
　　［解析］问“下面哪个是引起移民与印第安人之间战争的主要原因？”关键句第二段第三句的大意是：但后来，因为土地发生争端，争端的结果只有一个即战争。故A是正确答案，即双方都想拥有更多的土地，并把对方赶走。B“双方都想移居大片被称为保留地的地区。”实际上这是后来印第安人被迫移居的地区，故不真。C“双方都想控制对方。”文中并未提到。D“双方互相厌恶。”文中也未提到。
 
24．What can be inferred from the passage about the results of the wars between the settlers and the Indians?
　　A．The whites were defeated and lost all of their land.
　　B．The whites won the war and moved to the other land.
　　C．The Indians were defeated and moved to other land.
　　D．Neither of them won the wars in the end. 
 
　 　　 　　答案：C
　　［解析］问“有关战争的结局，从文中可以推出……”关键句在第二段第四、五句。大意是当战争结束时，所有印第安人被迫移居到称之为保留地的地区。“现在一些印第安人，仍然对过去受到的虐待怨恨不已。”故可推知，C“印第安人战败了，被迫移居其它地区。”是正确答案。A“白人失败了，失去了他们的土地。”显然不对。B“白人胜利了，并移居其它地区。”白人胜利了是事实，但是印第安人移居到其它地区，而不是白人，故不对。D“双方谁也没有获胜。”根据文章显然不对。
 
25．According to the passage, some Indians today insist on living their tribal life partly because ____?

Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension
For the person keeping a journal, whatever he experiences and wants to hold he can write down. But to get it down on paper begins another adventure. For he has to focus on what he has experienced, and to be able to say what, in fact,the experience is. What of it is new? What of it is remarkable because of associations in the memory it stirs up? It is a good or bad thing to have happened? And why, specially? The questions multiply themselves quietly. As one tries to find the words that best represent this discovery, the experience becomes even clearer in its shape and meaning.
　　Beyond the value of the journal as record, there is the value of the discipline it teaches. The journalist begins to pay closer attention to what happened to and round himself. He develops and sharpens his skills of observation. He learns the usefulness of languages as a means of representing what he sees, and again skill and certainty in the expressions of his experiences/ to have given up one’s experience to words is to have begun marking out the limits and potential of its meaning. In the journal that meaning is developed and clarified to oneself. When the intention of the development of that meaning is the consideration of another reader,the method of the journal redirects itself and it becomes the essay.
　　26．What does the word ‘journal’ in the 1st sentence mean?
　　A．diary
　　B．Periodical
　　C．magazine
　　D. essay 
 
　 　　 　　答案：A
　　［解析］问“文章中第一句里的Journal一词意思为… …”本文journal的意思为“日记”。在文章中第一句看到keeping a journal，keep此处不能和其它选项中的词搭配。另从文章中得出写journal的人要记述自己的经历以及对所经历的事件的反思，这和写其它体裁的目的方式也有不同，所以A为正确答案。B“期刊”。C“杂志”。D“文章” 
 
27．When keeping a journal, the person should________?
　 A．have experienced some adventures
　 B．have made a scientific discovery
　 C．keep an authentic record of what he sees
　 D．write down what his experience is and what impresses him 
 
　 　　 　　答案：D 
　　［解析］问“作者认为当一个人写日记时，他……？”解答在第一段，所以D “应该写对经历过的事情的感受。”是正确答案。 A “应该经历的冒险”，B“应该有一个科学的发现”， C“应该真实记载发生在他身上的事”均不符合题意。
 
28． What does the word ‘it’in sentence 4 refer to?
　 A．journal
　 B．paper
　 C．adventure
　 D．experience 
 
　 　　 　　答案：D
　　［解析］问“第四句里的it 指代什么？”在此处it指代experience。
 
29．Which of the following statements is not mentioned about keeping a journal?
　 A．Keeping a journal can develop and sharpens one’s skills of observation
　 B．Keeping a journal can develop one’s memory
　 C．Keeping a journal can help one realize the usefulness of languages as a means of representing what one sees
　 D．Keeping a journal can help one gain skills and certainty in expression of his experience 
 
　 　　 　　答案：B
　　［解析］问“关于日记下面哪个陈述文中未提到？”答案在第二段，整篇文章没有提到“写日记能促进记忆”，所以B为本题答案。
 
30．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
　 A．The Relationship between a Journal and an Essay
　 B．How to Keep a Journal
　 C．The Value of Keeping a Journal
　 D．Technique in Keeping a Journal

Ⅴ．Reading Comprehension
The northern and southern polar regions are different in many ways. The most important difference concerns the distribution of land and water. The northern Arctic(北极)regions are ice-covered sea, almost completely surrounded by land. The pole itself is in deep water. In the south, Antarctic(南极)is a huge continent which is surrounded by a great ocean. Because of this basic difference other differences occur. The Arctic has a varied climate, while the Antarctic climate varies little; the Arctic has much plant life, but the Antarctic is an empty desert. And whereas the Arctic has been exploited economically for centuries, trade has never really touched Antarctic.
　　Interest in the Arctic began when America was discovered, and explorers tried to find a western sea route to India and China．In their search to find the “North-West Passage” the main problem facing the explorers was how to avoid the ice. One explorer, Nansen, found a unique answer to this problem. He intentionally became struck in the ice and traveled with it across the Arctic Ocean! But although many explorers tried, it was not until 1903 that the Arctic polar region was crossed by seA．Antarctic exploration begins with Ptolemy. He believed that all the oceans were surrounded by land. And that therefore there was huge continent somewhere in the south. His idea led to centuries of search, and again trade played its part. The real discoverers of Antarctic were the hunters who traveled far, south to catch seals.
　　One reason for the present interest in both polar regions is that the world may soon be short of fresh water. In fact, over 85% of the earth’s entire fresh water is found in the polar ice. If we could find a way of carrying this ice to other parts of the world, this would solve all our fresh water problems.
　　31．Trade, according to the passage, has never really touched Antarctic because Antarctic is ______.
　　A．a land surrounded by a great ocean
　　B．an empty desert and has no plant life
　　C．not open to public
　　D．different from the Arctic 
 
　 　　 　　答案：A

　　［解析］本题是细节判断题，细节判断题主要考查学生对长难句字面意思的理解。做题的关键是信息定位——能快速准确地在原文中找到问题的出处。具体做法是在浏览全文时，将标志主要事实或细节的标志词（如表因果关系）做记号，以便看完后能快速找到自己所需的信息。此题正是因果关系的细节题。信息定位在第一段的because of this basic difference other differences occur这句话的前后几句.这句话里的 “this”指的是上两句话中两地区之间地理位置的不同。 故选A。 
 
32．Who first found Antarctic?
　　A．Some seal hunters
　　B．Some early explorers
　　C．Nansen
　　D．Ptolemy
 
　 　　 　　答案：A
　　［解析］本题是细节判断题，信息定位在第二段的最后一行“The real discoverers of Antarctic were the hunters who traveled far south to catch seals. 故选A。
 
33．The Arctic polar was crossed ______.
　　A．by ice
　　B．by water
　　C．by land
　　D．through the North-West Passage 
 
　 　　 　　答案：B
　　［解析］本题是细节判断题，信息定位在第二段的第五行里边“But although many explorers tried, it was not until 1903 that the Arctic polar region was crossed by sea.” By sea means by water. 故选B。
 
34．In the middle of the second paragraph the word “intentionally” means ______.
　　A．purposely
　　B．dangerously
　　C．carefully
　　D．carelessly
 
　 　　 　　答案：A
　　［解析］本题是语义题，语义题主要测试学生利用上下文判断词语在具体语言环境中确切含义的能力。做题的关键是对上下文的正确理解。语义题的测试包括熟词生义和生词，难词两种题型。猜测生词可根据构词法。此题属于生词。我们可根据构词法来猜。Intend是动词，表示打算或计划要做的事,-tion 又是名词的后缀，因此，可以推出intention有“目的”和“故意”的意思。-ly又是副词的后缀，因此这个词的意思就是“故意地”和“有目的地”。故选A。
 
35.The passage supports which of the following conclusions?
　　A．The Arctic will be more favorably explored than Antarctic
　　B．The world will soon suffer from fresh water shortage
　　C．The Arctic and Antarctic are promising for future fresh water supply

There is limit to what you can do and how well you can do it in a given time. Because of this limit, you must establish priorities. In other words, you must rank your values and goals. What goals and values are most important to you?For example,if your goal is to continue your education after high school , you must set aside any activities that interfere with that goal. You will select your courses and manage your time so you meet the entrance requirements. You may have to drop an extracurricular(课外) activity so that you can take a part-time job to earn money for your tuition(学费). 
 
　 　　 　　答：在给定的时间里你能做什么以及做到什么程度是有限度的。因为有这样的限制，你必须确定先后次序。换句话说，你必须把价值取向和目标进行排列，分清哪些价值和目标对你是最重要的。例如，你高中毕业后的目标如果是继续求学，那就必须放弃干扰该目标的其他活动。你要选修一些课程然后安排时间准备这些课程的入门考试。你可能不得不放弃一些课外活动，以便能课余打工挣钱交学费。
