TV Games Shows
One of the most fascinating things about television is the size of the audience. A novel can be on the "best sellers" list with a sale of fewer than 100,000copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well known overnight.
This is the principle behind "quiz " or " game" shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for the prize and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the U.S. and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the show's producers, who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didn't like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. Based on his story, a movie under the title" Quiz Show " is on 40 years later.
Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they aren't taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions.
1. TV can make a beggar world-famous overnight.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
2. the principle behind " quiz " or " game" shows is to put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
3. Prizes and money are usually provided by TV stars and large companies for winners.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
4. One of the TV personalities, Charles Van Doren was proved to be cheating by persuading the Show's producers to give him the answers beforehand.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
5. The huge scandal of cheating in TV games shows was not exposed until 40 years later in the movie " Quiz Show".
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
6. Nowadays game shows are not treated as seriously as they used to be.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
7. Winners of present-day TV shows no longer get money from the shows.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

Car Crime
A million motorists leave their cars filled up with petrol and with the keys in the ignition every day. The cars are sitting in petrol stations while drivers pay for their fuel. The Automobile Association (A.A.) has discovered that cars are left unattended for an average three minutes and sometimes longer as drivers buy drinks, sweets, cigarettes and other consumer items. With payment of credit cards becoming more and more common, it is not unusual for a driver to be out of his car for as long as six minutes, providing the car theft with a golden opportunity.
For more than ten years there has been a big rise in car crime than in most other types of crimes. An average of more than two cars a minute are broken into or stolen in the UK. Car crime accounts for almost a third of all reported offenses with no signs that the trend is slowing down.
Although there are highly professional criminals involved in car theft, almost 90 percent of car theft is committed by the opportunists. Amateur thieves are aided by our own carelessness. The A.A. recommends locking up whenever you leave the car and for however short a period. A partially open sunroof or window is a further come-on to thieves.
There are many other traps to avoid. The A.A. has found little awareness among drivers about safe parking. Most motorists questioned made no efforts to avoid parking in quiet spots---- just the places thieves love. The A.A. advises drivers to park in places with people around ---- thieves don't like audiences.
Questions: A. Safe parking
1. Paragraph 1 ___________. B. Increase in car theft
2. Paragraph 2 ___________. C. Opportunities for non-professionals

Storms Sink Ships
Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in
Bangladesh.The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21.Hundreds more are missing or feared dead.
The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhakfi as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country.
The government has since banned a11 ferries and other boats from traveling at night during the April-May stormy season. .
One of the ferries，MV Mitali，was carrying far more people than it was supposed to.About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300，police said.The second ferry carried about 1 00 passengers.
“The number of deaths is certain to rise.”said an official in charge of the rescue work.“No one really knows how many people were on board‘the ferry or how many of them survived.’’
Ferries in Bangladesh don’t always keep passenger lists，making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board.
Besides the ferry accidents，at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes.falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats.
Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh，as are boating accidents.Ferry
disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people.
Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures.too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions.
Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh.It is a country covered by about 230 rivers.Some 20，000 ferries use the nation’s Waterways every year.And many of them are dangerously overcrowded.
Since 1977, more than 3.000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents.

The Cherokee Nation
Long before the white man came to America, the land belonged to the American Indian nations. The nation of the Cherokees lived in what is now the southeastern part of the United States.
After the white man came, the Cherokees copied many of their ways. One Cherokee named Sequoyah saw how important reading and writing was to the white man. He decided to invent a way to write down the spoken Cherokee language. He began by making word pictures. For each word he drew a picture. But that proved impossible -- there were just too many words. Then he took the 85 sounds that made up the language. Using his own imagination and an English spelling book, Sequoyah invented a sign for each sound. His alphabet proved amazingly easy to learn. Before long, many Cherokees knew how to read and write in their own language. By 1828, they were even printing their own newspaper.
In 1830, the U.S. Congress passed a law. It allowed the government to remove Indians from their lands. The Cherokees refused to go. They had lived on their lands for centuries. It belonged to them. Why should they go to a strange land far beyond the Mississippi River?
The army was sent to drive the Cherokees out. Soldiers surrounded their villages and marched them at gunpoint into the western territory. The sick, the old and the small children went in carts, along with their belongings. The rest of the people marched on foot or rode on horseback. It was November, yet many of them still wore their summer clothes. Cold and hungry, the Cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of the journey. Many dropped dead and were buried by the roadside. When the last group arrived in their new home in March 1839, more than 4,000had died. It was indeed a march of death.

Snow Ranger
The two things – snow and mountains – which are needed for a ski area are the two things that cause avalanches, large mass of snow and ice crushing down the side of a mountain—often called "White Death."
It was the threat of the avalanche and its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger. He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 1937 –38 at Alta, Utah, in Wasatch National Forest.
This mountain valley was becoming well known to skiers. It was dangerous. In fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 and another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a major ski area.
Thus, development of Alta and other major ski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service set out to do it, and did, with its corps of snow rangers.
It takes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition. He must be a good skier and a skilled mountain climber He should have at least a high school education, and the more college courses in geology, physics, and related fields he has, the better.
He studies snow, terrain, wind, and weather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He learns to forecast avalanches and to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength. . The snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery, by blasting with TNT, and by the difficult and skillful art of skiing avalanches down.
The snow ranger, dressed in a green parka which has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety for people on ski slopes. He pulls the trigger on a 75 mm. Recoilless rifle, skis waist deep in powder testing snow stability, or talks with the ski area’s operator as he goes about his work to protect the public from the hazards of deep snow on steep mountain slopes.
1. The snow rangers are employees of
A) the Forest Service.
B) the Resource Bureau.
C) the Tourist Board.
D) the Sports Bureau.
2.A snow ranger himself must be
A) a college graduate.
B) a physicist.
C) a geologist.
D) a mountaineer.
3. A snow ranger uses very powerful guns
A) to warn skiers of an approaching avalanche.
B) to signal for help in an emergency.
C) to create an avalanche.
D) to communicate with the ski area’ operator.
4. What is the primary duty of the snow ranger?
A) To make sure ski area operators are following safety rules.
B) To predict and control avalanches in mountainous areas.
C) To check skis and repair them.
D) To forecast the weather.
5.The passage implies that a snow ranger
A) knows how to use a pistol.
B) must write lengthy reports on his work.
C) may travel many miles when he is on duty.
D) has a long working day.

The Building of the Pyramids
The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. __1__. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “ step ” pyramid and “ Bent ”pyramid.
Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings.__2__. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.
__3__. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. __4__. Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.
One thing is certain: there must have been months of careful planning before they could begin to build. __5__. You may think this would have been easy with miles and miles of empty desert around, but a pyramid could not be built just anywhere. Certain rules had to be followed, and certain problems had to be overcome.
A The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape have made them less likely to fall into ruin.
B It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved.
C The first thing they had to do was to choose a suitable place.
D Consequently, we are only able to guess at the methods used.
E Many people were killed while building the pyramids.
F They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet.

第一部分：词汇选择(第1-15题，每题1分，共15分)
下面共有15句子，每个句子均有一个词或短语划有底横线，请从每个句子后面所给的四个选项中选择一个与划线部分意义最相近的词或短语。答案一律涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
1. B. 分析：借助画线短语核心词(bring)的基本含义—“带来/引起”，并借助与画线结构相直接相关的结构含义(质量控制系统被..)判断B(引进)是答案。该句含义是“将引进一种新的质量控制系统以克服公司产品出现的缺陷。”Invest: vt.(常与in连用)投入(资金，精力，时间等) ; insist: vi, vt(常与on, that连用)主张;坚持, 坚持要求(宾语从句跟虚拟语气结构)
2. B。分析：and的使用表明前后两个结构是在语法结构对称，且含义上色彩一致，这样排除A(“发展”和“失去重要性”在词义色彩上相反)和D(renew = re + new(re表示“再次”))，所以可推出renew是“更新”)。 借助句意判断disappear(消失)是答案。该句含义是“旧的公司失去了它们的重要性，而其中的一些公司完全得消失了。”link vt, vi(常与together, to, with连用)连接。
3. A。分析：break有多种含义。Break是“打破, 违犯, 折断,超过”，而被选项中只有A有“打”的含义，所以判断beat是答案。该句含义是“在奥运会上每当运动员打破了以往的比赛记录人们就会为之而欢呼兴奋。”另外，maintain，announce和match都是常见词， 基本含义分别是“保持”，“宣布”和“比得上”。
4.A. 分析：根据句意(“政府正在..教育法”)排除B(搭配词义不通顺)，C和D(C和D都通常和进行时态连用)。debate: vt, vi讨论，争论;discuss : vt谈论;讨论;商讨(with sb. );delay: vt, vi, n. 推迟;延缓 ;Decline: vt, vi下降;下滑;下倾
5. D。分析：在该句中yield 是用作名词(因为该词的前面有不定冠词a)，分析：抓住句子中与划线部分相关的结构或用词特点：能与不定冠词a搭配使用的被选项只有C和D(气候，倾向， 风气，如：a mild climate温和的气候)。再借助句子中其他特征词：farm，判断harvest“收成”是答案。该句含义是“这一年中他们的收成要比数英里以外的其他任何农场的收成都好得多。”Yield: vt, vi出产, (常与to连用)放弃;投降;让步 n. 产量;收成
6.A。分析：划线短语是动词短语，对于该短语的语义有两种查找方法：1。利用动词do，直接在字典中查找do away with 这个短语的语义。不难得出该短语的语义是“去掉”，所以A是答案;2。利用该短语中的词义推测：away是“离开”，而备选项中： set up是“建立”， repair是“修理”， paint 是“油漆, 描绘”，都与“离开”无关，所以只有get rid of是答案。该句句意是“这座城市已经决定把位于市中心的所有的旧的建筑物都废弃掉。”
7.C. 分析：根据画线词的家族词(drama)的本义和与画线词搭配的结构的含义(“变化”)，判断C是答案。该句含义是“在过去的十年中，在国际形式方面已经出现了显著的变化。”Striking: adj. 引人注意的;显著的;Dramatic: adj. 戏剧的;有关戏剧的; 引人注目的。
8. A。分析：利用被选项的特点：A和B是正反项，所以重点注意。而B,C 和D都是近义词，表示“可能的”，所以相互排除掉。答案是A。该句含义是“检察员明天不可能会来。”out of the question adv. 不可能;另外，likely 还可以用作副词，表示“ 或许, 很可能”。
9. C。分析：根据句意(人们正在研制开发…太阳能的技术。)判断C合适。Convert vt.使转变, 转换...; store vt.贮藏, 贮备, 存储n.商店, 店铺, 贮藏。
10. D。分析：根据构词法：划线词的前部分是 damage(破坏)，即damaging是动词damage的分词，所以推测该词义大概是“破坏的” 。而备选答案都是常见词汇，其中只有harmful是“破坏的”，因此可以推断harmful是答案。该句含义是“从经济大萧条以后，美国政府一直在(采取措施)使农民避免遭受到由于粮食价格的下降而带来的损失”。
11. B。分析：seldom是常见词汇，该词义是“很少地” 。而备选答案中rarely也是常见的否定副词，是“很少地”。该句含义是“水泥在中世纪的建筑中很少使用。”
12. C。分析：根据句意(医学依靠其他领域获得它所需要的基本信息，尤其是这些领域中的一些从事专门研究的领域)判断C(尤其是)最合适。Conventionally adv.按照惯例;inevitably adv.不可避免;obviously adv.明显地
13. A.分析：astonish 和amaze是近义词，表示“使惊讶”， amount作动词用时经常和介词to连用，表示 “总计, 等于”， amuse是“使愉快”，approach可用作动词表示“接近”，或作名词表示“方法，途径”。该句含义是“我们很惊讶的得知他们的足球队曾经赢得过冠军。”
14.B。分析：steady 和stable是近义词，都可表示“稳定的”， 所以可以相互排除掉。再根据构词法：plentiful = plenti(y) + ful 判断B的含义是“大量的”。借助句意“在这个国家里有大量的廉价劳动力”判断B最合适。
15.D。分析：crucial“至关紧要的”和 urgent“紧急的”含义最接近。该句句意是“任何经济体系所面临的最至关紧要的的问题是如何使用它稀少的资源”。Puzzling adj.(使)迷惑的, (使)为难的; terrifying adj.使感到恐怖的;

TV Games Shows
1. A。 答案查找的线索词：world-famous overnight(一夜成名)或 beggar(乞丐)。从第一段开始查找，不难在第一段的最后一句中找到含有world-famous overnight的相关句，于是对照原句和问题句，原句说电视可让anything(一切)和 anyone(一切人)一夜成名，所以当然包括beggar，所以这句话正确。
2. B。 该句是一长句，解这道题的关键首先是读懂问题句的结构，了解它说的是什么。该句是说“猜谜节目背后的原则是为了让普通人参加赢取奖品和奖金的电视节目”。答案查找的线索词：ordinary people (普通人)。从第二段开始查找(因为问题一的答案在第一句的最后依据)，不难在第二段的第一句中找到含有ordinary people的相关句。对照原句和问题句，不难发现原句的结构与问题句的结构有所不同： 原句中有代词：this，说“这就是猜谜节目背后的原则”，而代词往往指代前一句的内容，可见“TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight.”才是猜谜节目背后的原则。所以该句说法错误。
3. C。 答案查找的线索词：provide(提供)或 companies and TV stars(电视明星和大公司)。从第二段开始查找，但查找完全文也没发现这些线索词，可见该问题并没在原文中提到，所以答案为：not mentioned。
4. B。该句也是长句，所以首先要弄清楚问题句的大意。 该问题句说“Charles Van Doren被证明通过劝说节目制作人事先给他答案来进行欺骗”。 答案查找的线索词：Charles Van Doren(人名) 和cheating(欺骗)。从第二段开始查找，不难从第二段的第五行开始找到含有Charles Van Doren的相关句，再找另一线索词：cheating，于是又进一步在该段找到直接相关行(7-10行)。对照原文和问题句，不难发现原文是说“为了吸引观众，节目制作人主动把答案事先告诉Charles Van Doren”。所以该句说法错误。
5. B。该句也是长句，所以首先要弄清楚问题句的大意。 该问题句说“大量电视节目中的欺骗丑闻40年以后才在名为‘quiz show’的电影中被暴光”。 答案查找的线索词：40 years和 Quiz Show。从第二段短末开始查找，不难从第二段的最后一句找到含有这两个线索词的直接相关句。不难发现原文并不是说“40年后该电影才暴光这一丑闻”，原句只是说“名为Quiz Show的电影在40年后才上演”，所以该句说法错误。
6. A。 答案查找的线索词：nowadays(现在)或 seriously(严肃地)。从第三段开始查找，不难在第三段的第二句中找到含有seriously的相关句。对照原句和问题句，原句说“这种节目仍然在电视上播放，但人们对它的态度不再象从前那样认真。”，与问题句的大意相符，所以这句话正确。
7. B。 答案查找的线索词：get money from the shows(从节目中得到钱)。从第三段开始查找，不难在第三段的最后一句中找到与get money from the shows语义相近的词：win money.对照原句和问题句，原句说人们仍然可以赢得钱，所以问题句的大意与原句不符。

Car Crime
1. 答案为E. 该段最后一句(总结句)提到司机的离车不锁车门给盗车造成很好的机会。
2. 答案为B。第二段段首句的含义为“近十多年来，汽车犯罪比其它犯罪有一个大的增长。”而B句的含义为“汽车盗窃的上升”，此句义与该段段首句的含义吻合。因此，B是合适的选择。
3. 答案为C。第三段段首句的含义为“尽管参与汽车犯罪中有职业的罪犯，但90%的汽车盗窃是由抓住机会盗窃的人干的。”而C中就包含了opportunity 这一线索词，因此C是合适的选择。
4. 答案为A。第四段段首句的含义为“有其它的许多陷阱需要避免。”而A说“安全停放车辆”，D说“反盗窃的组织”，而很容易就能在第四段中发现多处parking这样的词，依据此判断A是合适的选择。
5.答案为A。To blame…on的含义为“把。。归罪于。。”，此问题句的语义为 “大多数的汽车犯罪应归罪于什么。”，根据做前面的题所了解的信息可知司机的不小心是诱因，所以答案是A。
6. 答案为B。在B，C，D，E和F 这些备选答案中，Big只能与B中increase连用，所以答案肯定是B。
7. 答案为C。此问题句的语义为 “大多数的汽车犯罪是由谁造成的。”，根据做前面的题所了解的信息可知应该是非职业的罪犯干的，所以答案是C。
8. 答案为E。答案相关句在第4段的第2句和第3句。

第1篇
Storms Sink Ships
1. A 该题问的是：在两次渡船失事中已发现多少人死了?第一段第一个句子说到“救援人员已经找到了在盂加拉国的两次渡船失事中的130多人的尸体”。当然，实际的死亡人数还要高。
2? C。该题问的是：这两次渡船失事发生在什么时候?这是一道推理题。文章中没有一个句子直接地提供了这方面的信息。但是第三段间接地传递了这方面的信崽：政府自此后禁止所有的渡船和其他船只在四五月的暴风季节夜航。
3? D。 该题问的是：渡船MV Mitali设计载客量是多少?答案在第四段的第二句：把大约400个旅客装进了只能容纳300个旅客的空间。
4 D。 该题问的是：官员们解释船只失事的原因是什么?倒数第三段说到了缺乏安全措施
5.C.该题问的是： 下面有关这两次渡船失事的说法哪种是错的?第5段有这样一句话：没有人真正知道当时有多少人在船上，也不知道有多少人还活着，第6段是这么说的：盂加拉国的渡船不是总能留下乘客的名单的，使得确认船上确切的人数很困难。
第2篇
The Cherokee Nation
1.B.问题问“柴罗基部落过去生活在什么地方?”。答案查找线索词：柴罗基部落及live(居住)。于是在第1段的最后一句中找到答案相关句.
2.A.问题问“Sequoyah从白人哪儿拷贝来的其中一个方法是什么?”。答案查找线索词：Sequoyah 和the white man(白人)。第2段的段首句说“白人来了以后，柴罗基人从白人哪儿拷贝了许多白人的方法。”，然后接着说“一个被称为Sequoyah的柴罗基人怎样，怎样。”，可见答案相关句在该段。该段提到了“柴罗基人做了文字图片”，于是否定了答案B;该段的最后依据并不是说“是从白人哪儿学会的报纸印刷”，所以否定答案D;而该段中也未说“教他的人民识字”;所以答案只能是A(记下口语)。而该段的确是讲从白人哪儿学会运用字母符号记录发音的方法。
3.C.问题问“1830年通过的法律的内容是什么?”。借助答案线索词1830 查找答案相关句。很快发现第3段包含该年代。段首句说“1830年，美国国会通过了一条法律。”，接着的一句又说“该法律允许政府把印第安人从他们的土地上驱逐出去。”。依据此判断A错误(A说让印第安人留在他们自己的土地上。)，同时据此判断B也不对(B说派军队去帮助柴罗基人。)C说“逼迫柴罗基人西行。”，D说“禁止柴罗基人读他们自己的报纸”，相比之下，C的说法更接近原文。
4.D.问题问“在什么时候柴罗基人开始离开了他们的土地?”。在第4段中发现“the sick, the old and the small children went in carts, … the rest of the people on foot or rode on horseback.”中包含了前三个备选答案，所以答案是D(上述所有的内容)。
5.C. 问题问“许多的柴罗基人死在了他们去往新家园的路上，这主要是因为什么原因?”。在第4段剩下的部分中不难发现“the Cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of the journey.”一句，该句说“柴罗基人很快就被旅途的艰辛弄的筋疲力尽。”对比四个备选答案的语义，不难判断C合适(没有食物和衣物印证旅途的艰辛。)
第3篇
Snow Ranger
1. A。该题问“‘雪地管理员’受雇于谁?”。借助备选答案的特点：答案都是专有名词(首字母都大写且名词前有定冠词the)，所以可以在文章中迅速查找首字母大写的专有名词，然后确认答案。很容易在第四段中发现" The Forest Service set out to do it, and did, with its crops of snow rangers"，该句说“森林服务部和它的护雪场工作人员队伍一起着手做这件事(指控制雪崩)并且做到了”，所以从这句话确认答案是A。
2.D.该题问“‘雪地管理员’必须是什么样的人?”。这道题可以依据常识判断：备选答案中：A说“大学毕业生”;B说“物理学家”;C说“地质学家”;D说“登山运动员”。依据常识，D最合理，所以选择D。而如果依据原文：文章中的第五段的段首句说“要成为雪地管理员需要很多的条件”，所以判断答案相关句应在该段中。该段说“雪地管理员应是优秀的登山运动员” ，所以D是答案。
3.C.该题问“‘雪地管理员’使用有很强杀伤力的枪?”。这道题可以依据线索词在句中寻找答案。线索词： powerful gun(很强杀伤力的枪)或其与其近义的短语。于是在第6段中的最后一行中发现gun的近义词artillery，所以找到了答案相关句。该句的前一句说“雪地管理员要使雪崩沿着山坡轰隆隆地滚下” ，所以C是答案，C说“ 制造雪崩”。
4. B。该题问“‘雪地管理员’的主要责任是什么?”。这道题可以依据常识判断：备选答案中：A说“确保滑雪场地的操作员遵守安全规则”;B说“预测和控制山区的雪崩”;C说“检查并修理雪橇”;D说“预测天气”。依据常识和前一题判断B最合理。
5.C。该题问“该短文暗示‘雪地管理员’怎样?”。这道题可以依据常识判断：备选答案中：A说“知道怎样使用手枪”;B说“必须写有关其工作的长篇报告”;C说“值班时可能会滑行数英里”;D说“工作时间很长”。依据常识和已有的对文章的了解推断C最合理。而如果依据原文：文章中提到了“枪”的使用，所以A不是答案。 在第5段中说“雪地管理员”必须是身体素质好”所以暗示答案C。

阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放会文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置。
The Building of the Pyramids
1. F。第一句说“金字塔是世界上最古老的石头建筑”， F说“它们已经屹立了将近5000年并且似乎会继续存在数前年”，以实际数字说明了第1句。
2. A。A说“埃及干燥的气候有助于保持金字塔，金字塔自身的形状也使之不容易毁坏。”空格后句的主语these就是指这两个原因。
3. B。B说“几乎可以确定的是(埃及人)为建造金字塔指定了施工方案，因为有些其他大型建筑的工程图已被幸运地保存下来，”后一句说“然而没有文字记录或图片告诉我们埃及人如何设计或建造金字塔。”。这两句在意思上形成转折。
4. D。根据本段前面两句的句意这里应该选择D(因此，我们只能猜测他们使用的方法)。
5. C。该段首句说有一件事情确定无疑，即他们(埃及人)开工前一定花了数月时间仔细设计建造方案，C说“他们要做的第一件事情就是选址”，和第一句意思连贯，而且下文中的this只能指选址这件事。
(每题1分，共15分)
阅读下面的短文，文中有15处空白，每处空白给出了4个选项，请根据短文的内容从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，并涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
The White House
1.C.该空格后是a long walk 作画线词的宾语，而take a walk 是惯用型结构，表示去散步，而其它的动词不与 walk搭配。
2.A. 被选项中有than出现时看句子前半部分是否有比较结构。该空前面有一比较级的结构：larger， 而这就暗示句子的后面部分可能有than 引出被比较的成分。
3.A.该空位于句首，在所在句中用作连词(该空与所在句之间没有逗号隔开。)，再借助分句之间的句意关系判断最后的选项。从句意上看：前一句说“这座城市比我想象的要大”，而空格所在句说“商业区比我想象的要小”，因此这两句的句义有转折。
4.C.四个备选答案都可表示原因，看原文：空格后是一从句，因此空格处需要引导从句的连词，而初步来说A，B和C在语法上都合适。再仔细比较这三个选项：since和 as引导的表原因的从句往往有一逗号与主句分开，而because的语气很强，其引导的从句不与主句分开。
5.B. much of和 most of分别修饰不可数名词和可数名词，原文中空格后是可数名词，所以选择most of。
6.A.四个备选答案均与open一词相关，而open既可作形容词用又可用作动词，而形容词表示状态，具有延续性。原文中白宫从10点到12点的对公众开放是属于经常性的动作，有延续性，因此选择作形容词的open。
7.A.四个备选答案均可用作副词，而只有pretty修饰副词，其它三个词均修饰动词。原文中该画线词是修饰副词的，所以选择pretty。
8.C.四个备选答案中有介词，动名词，和副词。而画线词后是名词短语，画线词前是一逗号与主句隔开，因此该画线处应引导表示伴随状态的结构，所以用with。
9.C.空格前是ground(土地)，因此选择 cover，表示“占据”了多大的面积。
10.B.On each side是表示“每一边”。
11.D.备选答案都是连词。空格后是一从句，空格前是一名词，因此判定空格所在的从句应为定语从句或同位语从句。选择where。
12.C.name after是固定的搭配，表示“根据。。而命名”。
13.A.cloth是布料， clothes是衣服， clothing是衣服的总称， cloths是指不同种类的料子。但该句中已经有silk 限定，因此只能选A。
14.B.furniture是不可数名词，因此说一件家具时，我们说 a piece of furniture， pieces of furniture是家具的复数形式， 其前面还可用many来修饰。
15.D.备选答案均为连词。空格前是时间名词，空格后是一从句，因此该从句应为定语从句，而when引导表时间的定语从句。
