                           Text 1
  Three English dictionaries published recently all lay claim to possessing a
“new” feature. The BBC English Dictionary contains background information on 1,000 people and places prominent in the news since 1988; the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary: Encyclopedic (百科全书的) Edition is the OALD plus encyclopedic entries; the Longman Dictionary of English Language and Culture is the LDOCE plus cultural information.
  The key fact is that all three dictionaries can be seen to have a distinctly “cultural” as well as language learning content. That being said, the way in which they approach the cultural element is not identical, making direct comparisons between the three difficult.
  While there is some common ground between the encyclopedic/cultural entries for the Oxford and Longman dictionaries, there is a clear difference. Oxford lays claim to being encyclopedic on content whereas Longman distinctly concentrates on the language and culture of the English-speaking world. The Oxford dictionary can therefore stand more vigorous scrutiny (审视) for cultural bias than the Longman publication because the latter does not hesitate about viewing the rest of the world from the cultural perspectives of the English-speaking world. The cultural objectives of the BBC dictionary are in turn more distinct still. Based on an analysis of over 70 million words recorded from the BBC World Service and National Public Radio of Washington over a period of four years, their 1,000 brief encyclopedic entries are based on people and places that have featured (占显著地位) in the news recently. The intended user they have in mind is a regular listener to the World Service who will have a reasonable standard of English and a developed skill in listening comprehension.
  In reality, though, the BBC dictionary will be purchased by a far wider range of language learners, as will the other two dictionaries. We will be faced with a situation where many of the users of these dictionaries will at the very least have distinct sociocultural perspectives and may have world views which are totally opposed and even hostile to those of the West. Advanced learners form this kind of background will not only evaluate a dictionary on how user-friendly it is but will also have definite views about the scope and appropriateness of the various socio-cultural entries.

21. What feature sets apart the three dictionaries discussed in the passage from traditional ones?
  [A] The combination of two dictionaries into one.
  [B] The new approach to defining words.
  [C] The inclusion of cultural content.
  [D] The increase in the number of entries.

22. The Longman dictionary is more likely to be criticized for cultural prejudice because_____ .
  [A] its scope of cultural entries goes beyond the culture of the English-speaking world
  [B] it pary little attention to the cultural content of the non-English-speaking countries
  [C] it views the world purely from the standpoint of the English-speaking people
  [D] it fails to distinguish language from culture in its encyclopedic entries

23. The BBC dictionary differs from Oxford and Longman is that______.
  [A] it has a wider selection of encyclopedic entries
  [B] it is mainly designed to meet the needs of radio listeners
  [C] it lays more emphasis on language than on culture
  [D] it is intended to help listeners develop their listening comprehension skills

24. It is implied in the last paragraph that, in approaching socio-cultural content in a dictionary, special thought should be given to______ .
  [A] the language levels of its users
  [B] the number of its prospective purchasers
  [C] the different tastes of its users
  [D] the various cultural backgrounds of its users

25. What is the passage mainly about?
  [A] Different ways of treating socio-cultural elements in the three new English dictionaries.
  [B] A comparison of people's opinions on the cultural content in the three new English dictionaries.
  [C] The advantages of the BBC dictionary over Oxford and Longman.
  [D] The user-friendliness of the three new English dictionaries.

                           Text 2

  More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.
  It's easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.
  Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.
  For example, a certain keypunch(键盘打孔) operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transaction. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off(向……透露)the company that was being robbed.
  Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.
  Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled(耍弄)the most confidential records right under the noses of the company's executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommerdations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.

26. It can be concluded from the passage that_______ .
  [A] it is still impossible to detect computer crimes today
  [B] computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions
  [C] computer criminals can escape punishment because they can't be detected
  [D] people commit computer crimes at the request of their company

27. It is implied in the third paragraph that_______ .
  [A] many more computer crimes go undetected than are discovered
  [B] the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problem
  [C] most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimes
  [D] most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck

28. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?
  [A] A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.
  [B] Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.
  [C] Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.
  [D] Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes.

29. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?
  [A] With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.
  [B] They will be denied access to confidential records.
  [C] They may walk away and easily find another job.
  [D] They must leave the country or go to jail.

30. The passage is mainly about________ .
  [A] why computer crimes are difficult to detect by systematic inspections
  [B] why computer criminals are often able to escape punishment
  [C] how computer criminals manage to get good recommendations from their former employers
  [D] why computer crimes can't be eliminated

  The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to apparent abundance. Stores and choked with rood. Rationing(定量供应)is virtually suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet, instead of joy there is widespread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come to stay? Does it mean that we need to think less now more food at home? No one knows that to expect.
  The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successfu1 grain harvests. North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Brita1n's overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has also risen.
  But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country had been made worse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops me overstocked with food not only because there is more food availab1e, but a1so because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.
  Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have begun to fa1l, with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grain prices, too, are fal1ing. Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to be enabled to benefit from this trend.
  The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers, The older generation have seen it al1 happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 per cent above pre-war levels, and the government has cal1ed for an expansion to 60 per cent by l956; but repeated Ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion programme is not working very well.
31. Why is there “wide-spread uneasiness and confusion about the food situation in Britain?”
  [A] The abundant food supply is not expected to 1ast.
  [B] Britain is importing less food.
  [C] Despite the abundance, food prices keep rising.
  [D] Britain will cut back on its production of food.

32. The main reason for the rise in food prices is that_______ .
  [A] people are buying less food
  [B] the government is providing less f1nancial support for agriculture
  [C] domestic food production has decreased
  [D] imported food is driving prices higher

33. Why didn't the government, s expansion programme work very well?
  [A] Because the farmer were uncertain about the f1nancial support the government guaranteed.
  [B] Because the farmers were uncertain for the benefits of expanding production.
  [C] Because the farmers were uncertain whether foreign markets could be found for their produce.
  [D] Because the older generation of farmers were sfong1y against the programme.

34. The decrease in world food prices was a result of________
  [A] a sharp fall in the purchasing power of the consumers
  [B] a sharp fal1 in the cost of food production.
  [C] the overproduction of food in the food-importing countries
  [D] the overproduction on the part of the main food exporting countries

35. What did the future look like for Britain’s food production at the time this article was written?
  [A] The fall in world food prices would benefit British food
  [B] An expansion of food production was at hand.
  [C] British food producers would receive more government
  [D] It looks depressing despite government guarantees.

  When a disease of epidemic proportions rips into the populace, scientists immediately get to work, trying to locate the source of the affliction and find ways to combat it. Oftentimes, success is achieved, as medical science is able to isolate the parasite, germ or cell that causes the problem and finds ways to effectively kill or contain it. In the most serious of cases, in which the entire population of a region or country may be at grave risk, it is deemed necessary to protect the entire population through vaccination, so as to safeguard lives and ensure that the disease will not spread.
  The process of vaccination allows the patient\'s body to develop immunity to the virus or disease so that, if it is encountered, one can ward it off naturally. To accomplish this, a small weak or dead strain of the disease is actually injected into the patient in a controlled environment, so that his body\'s immune system can learn to fight the invader properly. Information on how to penetrate the disease\'s defenses is transmitted to all elements of the patient\'s immune system in a process that occurs naturally, in which genetic information is passed from cell to cell. This makes sure that, should the patient later come into contact with the real problem, his body is well equipped and trained to deal with it, having already done so before.
  There are dangers inherent in the process, however. On occasion, even the weakened version of the disease contained in the vaccine proves too much for the body to handle, resulting in the immune system succumbing, and, therefore, the patient\'s death. Such is the case of the smallpox vaccine, designed to eradicate the smallpox epidemic that nearly wiped out the entire Native American population and killed massive numbers of settlers. Approximately 1 in 10,000 people who receives the vaccine contract the smallpox disease from the vaccine itself and dies from it. Thus, if the entire population of the United States were to receive the Smallpox Vaccine today, 3000 Americans would be left dead.
  Fortunately, the smallpox virus was considered eradicated in the early 1970\'s, ending the mandatory vaccination of all babies in America. In the event of a re-introduction of the disease, however, mandatory vaccinations may resume, resulting in more unexpected deaths from vaccination. The process, which is truly a mixed blessing, may indeed hide some hidden curses.

36. The best title for the text may be
  [A] “Vaccinations: A Blessing or A Curse.”
  [B] “Principles of Vaccinations.”
  [C] “Vaccines: Methods and Implications.”
  [D] “A Miracle Cure Under Attack.”

37. What does the example of the Smallpox Vaccine illustrate?
  [A] The possible negative outcome of administering vaccines.
  [B] The practical use of a vaccine to control an epidemic disease.
  [C] The effectiveness of vaccines in eradicating certain disease.
  [D] The method by which vaccines are employed against the disease.

38. The phrase “ward it off naturally” (Paragraph 2) most probably means
  [A] dispose of it naturally.
  [B] fight it off with ease.
  [C] see to it reluctantly.
  [D] split it up properly.

39. Which of the following is true according to the text?
  [A] Saving the majority would necessarily justify the death of the minority.
  [B] The immune system can be trained to fight weaker versions of a disease.
  [C] Mandatory vaccinations are indispensable to the survival of the populace.
  [D] The process of vaccination remains a mystery to be further resolved.
  
40. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is
  [A] to comment and criticize.
  [B] to demonstrate and argue.
  [C] to interest and entertain.
  [D] to explain and inform.

  As more and more material from other cultures became available, European scholars came to recognize even greater complexity in mythological traditions. Especially valuable was the evidence provided by ancient Indian and Iranian texts such as the Bhagavad-Gita and the Zend-A-vesta. From these sources it became apparent that the character of myths varied widely, not only by geographical region but also by historical period.
 41.   
  He argued that the relatively simple Greek myth of Persephone reflects the concerns of a basic agricultural community, whereas the more involved and complex myths found later in Homer are the product of a more developed society.
  Scholars also attempted to tie various myths of the world together in some way. From the late 18th century through the early 19th century, the comparative study of languages had led to the reconstruction of a hypothetical parent language to account for striking similarities among the various languages of Europe and the Near East. These languages, scholars concluded, belonged to an Indo-European language family. Experts on mythology likewise searched for a parent mythology that presumably stood behind the mythologies of all the European peoples.
 42.   
  For example, an expression like “maiden dawn” for “sunrise” resulted first in personification of the dawn, and then in myths about her.
  Later in the 19th century the theory of evolution put forward by English naturalist Charles Darwin heavily influenced the study of mythology. Scholars researched on the history of mythology, much as they would dig fossil-bearing geological formations, for remains from the distant past.
 43.   
  Similarly, British anthropologist Sir James George Frazer proposed a three-stage evolutionary scheme in The Golden Bough. According to Frazer\'s scheme, human beings first attributed natural phenomena to arbitrary supernatural forces ( magic), later explaining them as the will of the gods (religion), and finally subjecting them to rational investigation (science).
  The research of British scholar William Robertson Smith, published in Lectures on the Religion of the Semites (1889), also influenced Frazer. Through Smith\'s work, Frazer came to believe that many myths had their origin in the ritual practices of ancient agricultural peoples, for whom the annual cycles of vegetation were of central importance.
 44.   
  This approach reached its most extreme form in the so-called functionalism of British anthropologist A. R. Radcliffe-Brown, who held that every myth implies a ritual, and every ritual implies a myth.
  Most analyses of myths in the 18th and 19th centuries showed a tendency to reduce myths to some essential core-whether the seasonal cycles of nature, historical circumstances, or ritual. That core supposedly remained once the fanciful elements of the narratives had been stripped away. In the 20th century, investigators began to pay closer attention to the content of the narratives themselves.
 45.   

[A] German-born British scholar Max Muller concluded that the Rig-Veda of ancient India - the oldest preserved body of literature written in an Indo-European language - reflected the earliest stages of an Indo-European mythology. Muller attributed all later myths to misunderstandings that arose from the picturesque terms in which early peoples described natural phenomena.
[B] The myth and ritual theory, as this approach came to be called, was developed most fully by British scholar Jan Ellen Harrison. Using insight gained from the work of French sociologist Emile Durkheim, Harrison argued that all myths have their origin in collective rituals of a society.
[C] Austrian psycho-analyst Sigmund Freud held that myths - like dreams - condense the material of experience and represent it in symbols.
[D] This approach can be seen in the work of British anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor. In Primitive Culture (1871), Tylor organized the religious and philosophical development of humanity into separate and distinct evolutionary stages.
[E] The studies made in this period were consolidated in the work of German scholar Christian Gottlob Heyne, who was the first scholar to use the Latin term myths ( instead of fabular , meaning “fable”) to refer to the tales of heroes and gods.
[F] German scholar Karl Offried Muller followed this line of inquiry in his Prolegomena to a Scientific Mythology, 1825.

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)
  The old adage of the title has a parallel in the scientific world “all research leads to biomedical advances”. The fact that research in one discipline contributes to another is well understood by the scientific community. It is not, however, so clear to the public or to public policy-makers. (46) Because public support for funding of biomedical research is strong, the scientific community could build a more effective case for public support of all science by articulating how research in other disciplines benefits biological medicine.
  The time is ripe to improve public appreciation of science. A recent National Science Foundation survey suggested that Americans continue to support research expenditures. In addition, public opinion polls indicate that scientists and science leaders enjoy enviably high public esteems. (47) Instead of lamenting the lack of public understanding of science, we can work to enhance public appreciation of scientific research by showing how investigations are in many areas close-knit and contribute to biomedical advances. A crucial task is to convey to the public, in easily understood terms, the specific benefits and the overall good that result from research in all areas of science.
  Take, for example, agricultural research. (48) On the surface, it may appear to have made few significant contributions to biomedical advances, except those directly related to human nutrition. This view is incorrect, however. In the case of nutrition, the connections between agricultural and biomedical research are best exemplified by the vitamin discoveries. (49) At the turn of the century, when the concept of vitamins had not yet surfaced and nutrition as a scientific discipline did not exist, it was in a department of agricultural chemistry that the first true demonstration of vitamins was made. Single-grain feeding experiments documented the roles of vitamins A and B. The essential role of some minerals (iron and copper) was shown later, and these discoveries provided the basis of modern human nutrition research.
  (50) Despite such direct links, however, it is the latest discoveries that have been made in agricultural research that reveal its true importance to biomedicine. Life-saving antibiotics such as streptomycin were discovered in soil microorganisms. The first embryo transplant was made in a dairy cow, and related research led to advances in the understanding of human reproduction.

  这篇文章采用的是一种对比的思维模式。本文讲述了关于DNA遗传技术本身涉及的道德和道义问题。作者在第1自然段引用了弗兰肯斯坦博士所创造的一个怪物,从而引出了DNA的道义问题和道德问题,并提出一个问题即我们要不要去形成一种新的道德哲学观呢。之后在第2自然段作者对该问题做出了回答,说不用,其实在一千年以前康德就说过个体不应该作为一种达到目的的手段。在第3自然段作者批判了为达到目的而把DNA技术当作手段的问题。在第4自然段作者对比性地说明了,关于个人以及国家究竟谁来控制DNA的问题,在第5自然段作者又对比了人和机械之间的差异性。文章的关键词为“alter our DNA adically”、“lifeforms”、“moral issue”、“reproduce”、“moral philosophies”等等。

  思路解析

  21.【答案】[C]
  【解析】归纳事实题。问与过去传统的词典相比,文中讨论的三种词典有下列何种特征。正确回答该题的关键在于第二段第一句话:“关键的事实是:可以看出,这三本词典除了学习语言的内容外,还有一种明显的文化背景要素。”C项正是此意。
  22.【答案】[C]
  【解析】归纳事实题。问朗文词典因其文化偏见而易受批评的原因是下述哪项。与该题关系最密切的信息在第三段第二句、第三句,尤其是第三句:“牛津词典比朗文版的词典能更好地审视文化偏见,因为后者完全是从英语世界的文化角度来看待其他世界。”C项意思与此吻合。A、B、D三项文中均无此意。
  23.【答案】[D]
  【解析】依据第三段最后一句“The intended user they have in mind is a regular listener…”我们知道BBC字典的目标读者群是那些经常收听BBC“World Service”节目的听众,他们将具备一定的英语水平和不断提高的听力理解技巧。将提高学习者的听力技巧作为自己的目标,这是BBC字典所独有的。选择项D符合文章内容。选择项A、C与文章内容不符。选择项B表达不准。Radio listener的部分学习需求也可通过其它字典来满足。
  24.【答案】[D]
  【解析】事实归纳题。文章最后一段说,为了使词典具有社会文化内容,应对下列哪项进行特别的考虑。文章最后一段是这样说的:“这些词典的许多使用者都有着明显的社会文化背景,世界观可能和西方人完全不同甚至对立。具有这种文化背景的程度较高的学习者不仅要评价一部词典对其使用者的友好态度,而且还会对词典中大量不同的有关社会文化背景的条目的范围和其恰当程度持有明确的观点。”这段话隐含着D项的意思:在词典中加入社会文化的内容时,应特别考虑到词典使用者的不同文化背景。
  25.【答案】[A]
  【解析】主旨题。问这篇文章的主旨、大意是什么。根据对文章的整体了解,不难看出A项是正确答案。

                            参考译文
   最近新出版的三本英语词典全都声称具有“新”的特点。BBC英语词典包含有1988年以来新闻节目中1000个重要人物与地区的背景材料。牛津高级学习词典——百科全书版是牛津高级学习词典上加上百科全书式的词条。朗文英语语言与文化词典是朗文英语词典附加文化信息。
  关键是这三本词典都有独特的“文化的”内容和语言学习的内容。应该指出,它们涉及不同的文化因素,因而很难直接对三者进行比较。
  虽然牛津和朗文的词典的百科内容和文化内容有一些共同之处,但它们之间也有明显的区别。牛津着重于在内容上实现百科知识化,而朗文词典更好地审视文化偏见,因为后者完全是从英语国家的文化视角来看待其它国家。
  而BBC词典的文化对象就更具鲜明特色,它分析了BBC世界台和华盛顿国家公众广播台4年来的节目之中录制的超过7000万个的词汇,收录的1000条百科知识条目都是从近期新闻中占显著地位的人物和地区为基础的。词典针对的读者是经常收听世界台节目的听众,他们具有较好的英语水准和较为高超的听力理解能力。
  然而,实际上购买BBC词典和其它两本词典的是更大范围的英语学习者。我们将面临这样的情况:这些词典的多数使用者至少会有不同的社会文化见解,而且很可能会与西方社会有完全不同的,甚至是对立的世界观。有这种背景的高水平的学习者不仅会发现词典很好用,而且会就各种社会文化词条的选择范围和适宜程度提出明确的观点。

  26.【答案】[B]
  【解析】本题为推理题。第一段第二句指出:任何一个聪明到能对计算机信息作某些改动以达到个人目的的人,可以得到客观的回报。文章第四段又例举了两例利用计算机进行的经济犯罪,一例是打孔员利用打孔机会进行不光彩交易,另一例是盗贼的手下因没有得到满足而向被盗窃公司透露消息。从这些内容可以判断B最符合题意是正确答案。A与原文第三段和第四段的内容不符。C说明计算机犯罪查不出来,这一点与A相似,所以C也不对。D项完全偏离原文。
  27. 【答案】[A]
  【解析】第三段第一句谈到:没有被侦破的犯罪活动无法统计(……we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected)。第三句又指出:被抓到的犯罪分子恐怕也是特别倒霉的人(The computer criminals who have been caught may be the victims of uncommon1y bad 1uck)。根据第一、第三两句可以推断:计算机犯罪被抓到的案件比未被逮住的要多的多。这正是选择A项的内容,正确答案是A。B项内容是文章直接说出来的,而不是隐含的,所以B不对;C与第三段内容不符,第三段未曾暗示犯罪分子如何掩盖自己的罪行:D与文章第三段最后一句不符,这些被抓的人是倒霉者,这是作者的观点,而非犯罪分子本人自认倒霉。所以B、C、D三项均不正确。
  28. 【答案】[D]
  【解析】文章第六段第一句和第二句分别是:因为公司害怕,若公众发现计算机被滥用,声誉将受损失。一想到罪犯要公开公司,主管就会犹豫(Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity they hesitiae at the though of a criminal),可以判断D符合原文内容是正确答案,很明显A、B、C三项在文章未被提及。
  29. 【答案】[C]
  【解析】文章第二段第二句,第四段,第五段都反复提及计算机犯罪分子一旦被发现也可以逃避惩罚,重新找工作。C与原文相符,正确答案是C。
  30. 【答案】[B]
  【解析】在文章第一段最后一句,第二段最后一句都反复提到计算机犯罪分子不受惩罚,文章第六段又分析了这种现象的种种原因。故全文核心内容谈的是计算机犯罪分子作案后不受惩罚,这正是B项的内容。
                            参考译文
  公司、财政部门、金融机构的运作越来多地是由计算机存储的信息控制着。任何一个聪明到能对这种信息作某种改动以达到自己的目的的人,都渴望得到可观的回报。更糟糕的是,不少这样做的人,虽被发现,却可一走了之,不受惩罚。
  如果没有人核查计算机的工作,利用计算机犯罪而不被发觉并非难事。但是即便发现,罪犯不仅可以不受惩罚地离去,而且还可以得到原主管人员提供的评价极高的推荐信函。
  当然,我们并不知道这类罪行的确切统计数字,但令人不安的是,我们确实知道,许多这类罪行的发出都是偶然的,都不是通过系统的侦破,也不是由于其他保护程序。许多计算机罪犯的被发现可能都是由于运气不佳。
  如某位键盘打孔操作员抱怨者都是加班加点为额外的卡打孔,后经调查才发现,这些额外的卡被用于一些不光彩的交易了,又如一个盗贼的手下人,由于没有得到满足,向被盗窃的公司透露消息。
  其他的违法者,不是逃往国外,就是自杀,或是进监狱。计算机上的犯罪分子却不同,他们可以逃避惩罚,而且还要挟给他们出具有利的推荐信函,或者给他们提供其他好处。他们的要求往往能够得到满足。
  为什么会这样呢?这是因为公司的主管担心,如果公众发现他们公司的计算机被滥用,公司的声誉会受到损失。一想到罪犯们公开抖露他们如何在公司主管们的眼皮低下偷梁换柱,在绝密文件、帐目上做手脚,公司主管们就犹豫。这样一来,又有一个利用计算机犯罪分子拿着漂亮的推荐信函,到另一个地方重操旧业去了。

  31. 【答案】[C]
  【解析】本题是考核考生辨认重要细节的能力。只要考生仔细阅读,便可看出本文的第1段第4句Why do food prices keep on rising,when there seems to be so much food about?回答了这个问题。因此选项C是答案。文中未提及A项、B项和D项,因此这3个选项都不合适。
  32. 【答案】[B]
  【解析】这也是属于辨认重要细节的试题。本题问的问题是,英国食品价格上涨的主要原因是什么?仔细阅读文章,便知本题的答案可在第3段第1句里找到,即……due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food。因此,选项B是答案。文中虽提到people are buying less food(第3段最后一句),但这是因为粮食价格高,与选项“使粮食价格上涨的主要原因”,无关,因此选项A是错的。文章未提及选项C和D,因此这两个选项是错的。
  33. 【答案】[B]
  【解析】这是一道要求进行推论的题目。由于文章未提及A项和C项,故这两个选项是错的。虽然文章最后一段提到the older generation,但并没有说老一辈的农民反对英国政府发展农业的计划,故选项D也是错的。本文最后一段的第2句和最后一句指出,尽管当前的粮食价格和市场是有保障的,但农民担心他们很可能被夹在廉价的进口粮食和日益缩小的国内市场之间,因而对政府扩大粮食生产的号召不怎么热心。根据这两句话,可以推断出答案应该是选项B。

34. 【答案】[D]
  【解析】本题属于辨认重要事实的试题。只要仔细阅读,便知道本题的答案可在第2段里找到,因为该段第1句指出,由于北美洲连续两年出现了特大丰收,而第3年又是丰收在望。因此答案应该是选项D。虽然最后一段提到present production is running as 51 per cent above pre-war leve1s…,但这不等于说,所有进口粮食的国家都粮食生产过剩,故选项C是错的。文中未提及选项A和B,故这两个选项是错的。
  35. 【答案】D
  【解析】 本题属于推论性的试题。仔细阅读本文,便知本题的答案可由第5段第2和第3句引出,因此答案应该是选D。由于文章第3段第1句的government support说的是the gradual cutting down of government support for food,不是说英国政府对粮食生产者提供财政上的支持,因此选项C是错的。文中内容并未涉及选项A和B,因此A项和B项也是错的。

  思路解析
  36.【答案】[C]
  【解析】题干问:“本文最好的标题是什么?”正确选项为[C]“疫苗:方法和内在含义”,这一选项能概括说明文章的中心。而选项[A]“接种:福音或诅咒”,漏掉了关于接种疫苗的过程,是对中心的部分概括。选项[B]“接种所用的原理”,这是第2自然段的话题。选项[D]“一个受到攻击的奇迹的治疗方法”只涉及到最后一个自然段。
  37.【答案】[A]
  【解析】题干问:“天花疫苗这个举例是说明什么情况?”此题可定位于第3自然段,且第3、4自然段的主题就是使用疫苗可能会带来负面效果,因此选项[A]“使用疫苗可能会带来负面结果”为正确选项。而选项[B]“疫苗的实际使用来控制传染病”,选项[C]“疫苗在于消除某些疾病的有效性”和选项[D]“疫苗对付疾病所使用的方法”都不是这个举证所谈论的观点。
  38.【答案】[B]
  【解析】题干问:“这个短语‘ward it off naturally’最可能的意思是……”。文中第2自然段讲述了在接种疫苗后,身体自然可以跟这种疾病进行对抗。因此选项[B]“很轻松地与之对抗”为正确选项。而选项[A]“自然地将其排除”,选项[C]“很不情愿地去管理它”和选项[D]“恰当地分解它”都不符合第二段所谈论的一个原理。
  39.【答案】[B]
  【解析】题干问:“根据这篇文章,下面哪项是对的?”其实纵观全文,本文的中心讲的是免疫系统可以得到特殊的训练以应对疾病的较弱形式,因此选项 [B]“免疫系统可以得到特殊的训练以应对疾病的较弱形式”为正确选项。而选项[A]“挽救大多数的人必然造成少数人的死亡”,选项[C]“强制性的接种对于大众的生存是不可或缺的”和选项[D]“接种的过程仍然是一个应该解决的神秘”都不能说明原文的含义。
  40.【答案】[D]
  【解析】题干问:“作者写作本文的目的是……”。作者在这篇文章的语气是客观的,因此选项[D]“为了解释和告知信息”为正确选项。而选项[A]“评论和批判”,这是议论文,评论文的模式。选项[B]“论证和辩论”是议论文的模式。选项[C]“为了带来兴趣和娱乐”,但这篇文章是科普性的文章。
  参考译文
  当传染病袭击民众时,科学家们就立即着手确认病源并想法征服疾病。通常,我们是可以取得胜利的,因为医学可以隔离寄生虫、病原菌或者造成疾病的细胞,并发现有效的消灭或抑制疾病的方法。在非常严重的情况下,比方说一个地区或国家的全体民众都可能处境极其危险,就有必要通过接种疫苗来保护全部人口,确保疾病不会蔓延。
  接种疫苗是让人体对病毒或疾病产生免疫力。万一碰上病毒或疾病,人体可以自然战胜它。将弱小或死亡的菌株在监控环境下注入病人体内,这样他体内的免疫系统就可以培养出应对来犯之敌的能力。关于如何抵抗疾病的信息被传递到免疫系统的各个部位,这个过程由基因信息在细胞间传递而自然实现。可以肯定,万一该病人以后碰上这类病毒,他的身体已全副武装并且训练有素,足以对付这一现实问题,因为已有经验了。
  但是整个过程还有隐患。有时,即使疫苗中含有的病菌是弱化了的菌种,人体也接受不了,导致免疫系统失效,以致病人死亡。天花疫苗的情况就是这样。天花传染病一度席卷全美土著居民并造成大量移民死亡,该疫苗试图消灭这种传染病。一万个接种天花疫苗的人中约有一个因接种而感染天花死亡。也就是说,如果全体美国人都要接种天花疫苗的话,就有3000人将死亡。
  值得庆幸的是,在20世纪70年代初,天花病毒就已被消灭,也结束了对全美婴儿的强制接种。不过,该病若卷土重来,就还要实行强制接种,这必将造成由接种而带来更多的意外死亡。本是一件好事的接种工作背后隐藏着不少谩骂和非议。

思路解析
  41.【答案】[F]
  【解析】空格前面的句子说“From these sources it became apparent that the character of myths varied widely, not only by geographical region but also by historical period.”,空格后面的句子说“He argued that the relatively simple Greek myth of Persephone reflects the economics of a basic agricultural community,whereas the more involved and complex myths found later in Homer are the product of a more developed society.”,由此可知:所填的句子应该是在讲神话的特点,并且会提到某位学者。选项F中说“German scholar Karl Offried Muller followed this line of inquiry in his Prolegomena to a Scientific Mythology,1825.”,这与前后句子的意思连贯,所以应该选F。虽然选项[A]、[C]、[D]中也都提到了学者,但是,其意思与前后句子不连贯,所以不能选用。
  42.【答案】[A]
  【解析】空格前面的句子说“These languages,scholars concluded,belonged to an Indo-European language family...”,空格后面的句子说“For example,an expression like ‘maiden dawn’for‘sunrise’resulted first in personification of the dawn,and then in myths about her。”,由此可知:所填的句子应该会提到“Indo.European language”.并且会说明人们的误解。选项[A]中说“German-born British scholar Max Muller concluded that the Rig-Veda of ancient India — the oldest preserved body of literature written in an IndoEuropean language... Muller attributed all later myths to misunderstandings that arose from the picturesque terms in which early peoples described natural phenomena.”,这与前后句子的意思连贯。并且也提到了“Indo-European language”,所以应该选[A]。
  43.【答案】[D]
  【解析】空格后面的句子说“Similarly,British anthropologist Sir James George Frazer proposed a threestage evolutionary scheme in The Golden Bough.”,由此可知:所填的句子应该是在讲学者们的研究方法。选项[D]中说“This approach can be seen in the work of British anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor.… Tylor organized the religious and philosophical development of humanity into separate and distinct evolutionary stages.”,这与后面句子的意思连贯,所以应该选[D]。
  44.【答案】[B]
  【解析】空格后面的句子说“This approach reached its most extreme form in the socalled functionalism of British anthropologist A.R.Radcliffe.Brown,who held that every myth implies a ritual,and every ritual implies a myth.”,由此可知:前面的句子应该会介绍某种理论,并且会提到“myth”和“ritual”。选项[B]中说“The myth and ritual theory,as this approach came to be called,was developed most fully by British scholar Jan E1len Harrison....”,这与后面句子的意思连贯,所以应该选[B]。选项[D]虽然也提到了某种方式,但是与后面句子的意思不连贯,所以不能选用。
  45.【答案】[C]
  【解析】空格前面的句子说“In the 20th century,investigators began to pay closer attention to the content of the narratives themselves.”.由此可知:所填的句子应该是讲现代的研究。只有选项[C]中表达的“Austrian psycho-analyst Sigmund Freud held that myths — like dreams — condense the material of experience and represent it in symbols.”是现代的研究,所以应该选[C]。
  参考译文
  由于可以从其他文化中获得越来越多的素材,所以欧洲的学者开始承认神话学传统具有更大的综合性。古代印度和伊朗的经文提供的证据尤其有价值,比如《薄伽梵歌》经文以及《亚吠陀》经文。根据这些资料,我们可以很清楚地了解到:神话人物差别很大,不只是由于地理位置所导致的,而且还是由于历史时期所导致的。(41) 德国学者卡尔·奥特弗雷德·穆勒在其1825年出版的《科学神话绪论》一书中遵循了这种研究理论。他认为,希腊有关珀尔塞福涅的相对简单的神话反映了初级农业社会人们的忧虑,但是后来在荷马史诗中发现的更复杂神话反映的是更发达社会的问题。
  学者们也试图以某种方式把全世界各种各样的神话联系起来。从18世纪晚期到19世纪早期,为了解释欧洲和近东各种各样语言之间的惊人相似性,对语言的比较性研究导致假设母语的复兴。学者们得出这样的结论:这些语言属于一种印欧语系。研究神话的专家也探究一种原始神话,这种神话可能隐藏于所有欧洲神话之中。(42) 德国裔英国学者马克斯·穆勒得出结论:古代印度的《梨俱吠陀》文集反映的是一种最原始的印欧神话——《梨俱吠陀》文集是现存的用印欧语记载的量古老作品。穆勒把后来的所有神话归结为人们的误解,这些误解源于早期人们用来描述自然现象的生动语言。比如,用“少女的黎明”来表示“日出”最初使得黎明人格化,后来演变成有关少女的神话。
  19世纪末期,英国的博物学家查尔斯·达尔文提出的进化理论对神话的研究产生了重要影响。学者们研究神话的历史,就像他们为了研究遥远的古代遗迹而研究化石表露的地质构造一样。(43)在英国的人类学家爱德华·伯纳德·泰勒的作品中可以发现这种方式。在《原始文明》一书(1871年出版)中,泰勒把人类的宗教和哲学发展系统地分成单独并且不同的进化阶段。同样,英国的人类学家詹姆士·乔治·弗雷泽尔在《珍贵的树枝》一书中提出了一个“三阶段进化示意图”。根据弗雷泽尔的示意图,起初,人们把自然现象归结为反复无常的超自然力量(魔法),后来,把它们解释为上帝的意愿(宗教),最后,把它们归类为理性的研究(科学)。
  英国学者威廉?罗伯逊·史密斯的研究报告——登载于1889年的《有关闪族人的宗教的演讲》一文中——也对弗雷泽尔产生了影响。通过史密斯的作品,弗雷泽尔开始认为,许多神话源于古代农业社会人们的宗教仪式习惯,对这些人来说,植物的年轮意义非凡。(44) 英国学者简·艾伦·哈里森把“神话和宗教仪式理论”发展得最完美,正如这种方式后来被命名的。应用从法国社会学家埃米尔·德克海姆的作品中获得的见解,哈里森认为,所有神话都源于一个社会的共同宗教仪式。这种方式在英国人类学家A·R·拉德克利夫·布朗所谓的实用主义中达到了极点,拉德克利夫·布朗认为,每一种神话都预示着一种宗教仪式,而每一种宗教仪式也暗示着一种神话。
  18世纪和19世纪有关神话的大多数分析表现出一种把神话归纳成要点的趋势——无论是自然、历史事件还是宗教仪式的季节性循环。一旦叙述中的奇特要素被删除,那么这种要点就可能得到保留。在20世纪,研究人员开始更密切地关注叙述本身。(45)奥地利心理分析家西格蒙德·弗洛伊德认为,神话浓缩了经验素材,然后用符号把它表现出来,就像梦一样。

  参考译文
  “所有的研究都带来生物医学的进步”这一古训同样适用于科学界。不同领域间的相互受益在科学界被广为认同,但公众或公共政策制定者未必清楚这一事实。(46) 因为公众对资助生物医学研究的支持很大,科学界需要通过宣传其他学科的研究如何有利于生物医学的发展,才可能很有效地向公众证明其支持所有学科的理由。
  改进公众对科学认识的时机已经成熟。一项最近的全国科学基金会调查显示,美国人仍继续支持科研开支。此外,民意投票也表明科学家和科学界领导人享有极高的公众威望。(47) 我们不应该由于公众对科学缺乏理解而伤感。我们能够向公众展示各个研究领域的密切关系和对生物医学进步的作用,从而努力提高公众对科学研究的认识。决定性的任务是要用简单易懂的表达向公众传达,所有科学领域的研究都会带来个别和整体的利益。
  以农业研究为例。(48)表面上看,除了与人类营养直接相关的方面以外,农业研究对生物医学的发展几乎没有做出什么显著的贡献。然而这种观点不正确。在营养学方面,维生素的发现就极好地证明了农业和生物医学研究的互相联系。(49) 本世纪初,维生素的概念还未出现,营养学还未作为一门科学存在的时候,恰好是在农业化学部门中第一次真正地证实了维生素。单谷种植实验证实了维生素A和B的存在,某些矿物(铁和铜)的重要作用也在稍后被证实,而这些发现奠定了现代人类营养研究的基础。
  (50)但是,尽管有这样的直接联系,正是在农业研究中已取得的最新发现才揭示了该研究对于生物医学的重要性。救命的抗生素如链霉索是在土壤微生物中发现的。最初的胚胎移植是在奶牛上完成的,而相关的研究加深了对人类生殖的理解。

Dear Countrymen:
I am writing the letter to call on all people in Beijing to perk up and do more work for the coming 2008 Olympic Games. As a common citizen here in the capital of our great motherland, I jumped over joy when news came saying we won the competition for hosting the great games, the first in our history.
But after a month-long excitement, I started to think about the question: What can I do for the huge project? I had been left with helplessness for all the past months, like many people did. But now I came up with some ideas that might attract you and equip us all with sufficient confidence.
Maybe I would be too old to be a volunteer in 2008, but I will start studying English, and two of three of other foreign languages if possible, to be able to communicate with friends from all corners of the world. We could have been making Beijing an international city in the proper sense of the word. I will try to understand modern concepts about making a city, and a country, more beautiful, for example, environmental protection, community construction, city planning, and above all, the quality of being a citizen in the modern city.
Actually, we will not be making preparation for preparation’s sake. After 2008, I have all the reasons to be optimistic that Beijing, and our country, will be taking a strong position in the powers of the world.
Please join me in the action and extend our excitement into a spirit that dares any possible difficulties! Thank you!
Best wishes to Beijing and our country,

These two cartoons show two contrasting scenes. While the male student spends all his time and money playing Internet games, the female student studies diligently. One could easily argue that a bright future awaits the students who study hard, while those who waste tuition playing games have little to look forward to. The above images encourage students to value their time in school and take advantage of educational opportunities.
While students dream of being accepted into college for years, they often become lost once admitted. Without their parents\' constant support and advice, or because of limited communication with teachers, many students are unable to focus on their future goals. Such confusion leads some to forget their studies and resort to playing on the Internet, among other forms of recreation. 
Students should not only keep their ambitions in mind, but also seriously strive towards them. Without a clear purpose, one might easily waste crucial years neglecting one\'s studies. 
Constantly playing on the Internet leads to failure, while continuously studying guarantees success. Students need to appreciate their time in school, and work hard in order to ensure a good future.
  译文:
  这两幅漫画描述了两个形成鲜明对照的场景,第一幅画中的男生在网络游戏中虚掷了所有的时间和金钱,而第二幅画中的女生却在勤勉地学习。可以很容易得出结论:对于刻苦学习的学生,一个美好的未来在等候着他们;而浪费学费玩游戏的学生没有什么指望了。上面这两幅画激励学生们珍惜在校的时光和受教育的机会。
  经过多年的梦寐以求终于跨进大学门槛的学生,却往往迷失了自己。因为没有了父母常在身边的支持和建议,或是缺乏与老师的沟通,很多学生找不到自己未来的奋斗目标。而这种困惑就使得一些学生扔掉书本,靠各种消遣——包括玩网络游戏——来打发时光。大学生不应只空谈理想,应该认真地为之奋斗,而没有明确的目标则会让一个人在度过他至关紧要的几年后头脑空空。
  沉湎于网络游戏只会导致失败,而坚持不懈的学习则能收获成功。大学生们一定要珍惜在校时光,为了美好的未来而努力。
