　　A Brief History of Clock

　　Clocks

　　At best, historians know that 5,000-6,000 years ago,greatcivilizations in the Middle East and North Africa startedtoexamine forms of clock-making instead of working with onlythemonthly and annual calendar. Little is known on exactly howtheseforms worked or indeed the actual deconstruction of the time,butit has been suggested that the intention was to maximizetimeavailable to achieve more as the size of the populationgrew.Perhaps such future periods of time were intended to benefitthecommunity by allotting specific lengths of time to tasks. Wasthisthe beginning of the working week?

　　Sun Clocks

　　With the disappearance of any ancient civilization, such astheSumerian culture, knowledge is also lost. Whilst we canonlyhypothesize on the reasons of why the equivalent to themodernwristwatch was never completed, we know that the ancientEgyptianswere next to layout a system of dividing the day intoparts,similar to hours。

　　"Obelisks" (tall four-sided tapered monuments) werecarefullyconstructed and even purposefully geographically locatedaround3500 BC. A shadow was east as the Sun moved across the sky bytheobelisk, which it appears was then marked out in sections,allowingpeople to clearly see the two halves of the day. Some ofthesections have also been found to indicate the "year"s longestandshortest days, which it is thought were developments added latertoallow identification of other important time subdivisions。

　　Another ancient Egyptian "shadow clock" or "sundial" hasbeendiscovered to have been in use around 1500 BC, which allowedthemeasuring of the passage of "hours". The sections were dividedintoten parts, With two "twilight hours" indicated, occurring inthemorning and the evening. For it to work successfully then atmiddayor noon, the device had to be turned 180 degrees to measuretheafternoon hours。

　　Water Clocks

　　"Water clocks" were among the earliest time keeping devicesthatdidn"t use the observation of the celestial bodies to calculatethepassage of time. The ancient Greeks, it is believed, beganusingwater clocks around 325 BC. Most of these clocks were usedtodetermine the hours of the night, but may have also beenusedduring daylight. An inherent problem with the water clock wasthatthey were not totally accurate, as the system of measurementwasbased on the flow of water either into, or out of, acontainerwhich had markers around the sides. Another very similarform wasthat of a bowl that sank during a period as it was filledof waterfrom a regulated flow. It is known that water clocks werecommonacross the Middle East, and that these were still being usedinNorth Africa during the early part of the twentieth-century。

　　Mechanical Clocks

　　In 1656, "Christian Huygens" (Dutch scientist)， made thefirst"Pendulum(钟摆) clock", with a mechanism using a "natural"period ofoscillation(振幅). "Galileo Galilei" is credited, in mosthistoricalbooks, for inventing the pendulum as early as 1582, buthis designwas not built before his death. Huygens" clock, whenbuilt, had anerror of "less than only one minute a day". This was amassive leapin the development of maintaining accuracy, as this hadpreviouslynever been achieved. Later refinements to the pendulumclockreduced this margin of error to "less than 10 seconds aday"。

　　The mechanical clock continued to develop until they achievedanaccuracy of "a hundredth-of- a-second a day", when thependulumclock became the accepted standard in mostastronomicalobservatories。

　　Quartz Clocks

　　The running of a "Quartz clock" is based on thepiezoelectricproperty of the quartz crystal. When an electric fieldis appliedto a quartz crystal, it actually changes the shape of thecrystalitself, If you then squeeze it or bend it, an electric fieldisgenerated. When placed in an appropriate electronic circuit,thisinteraction between the mechanical stress and the electricalfieldcauses the crystal to vibrate, generating a constantelectricsignal which can then be used for example on an electronicclockdisplay. The first wrist-watches that appeared in massproductionused "LED", "Light Emitting Diode" displays. By the1970"s thesewere to be replaced by a "LCD", "Liquid CrystalDisplay"。

　　Quartz clocks continue to dominate the market because oftheaccuracy and reliability of the performance, also beinginexpensiveto produce on mass scale. The time keeping performanceof thequartz clock has now been surpassed by the "Atomicclock"。

　　Atomic Clocks

　　Scientists discovered some time ago that atoms and moleculeshave"resonances" and that each chemical element and compoundabsorbsand emits "electromagnetic radiation" within its owncharacteristic"frequencies". This we are told is highly accurateeven over "Timeand Space"。

　　The development of radar and the subsequent experimentationwithhigh frequency radio communications during the 1930s and1940screated a vast amount of knowledge regarding"electromagneticwaves", also known as "microwaves". which interactwith the atoms.The development of atomic clocks focused firstly onmicrowaveresonances in the chemical Ammonia and its molecules. In1957."NIST". the "National Institute of Standards andTechnology",completed a series of tests using a "Cesium AtomicBeam" device,followed by a second program of experiments by NIST inorder tohave something for comparison when working at the atomiclevel. By1960, as the outcome of the programs, "Cesium TimeStandards" wereincorporated as the official time keeping system atNIST。

　　The "Natural frequency" recognized currently is the measurementoftime. used by all scientists, defines the period of "one second"asexactly "9,192,631,770 Oscillations" or "9,192,631,770 Cycles oftheCesium Atom"s Resonant Frequency". From the "Macrocosm",or"Planetary Alignment", to the "Microcosm", or "AtomicFrequency",the cesium now maintains accuracy with a degree of errorto about"one-millionth of a second per year"。

　　Much of modern life has come to depend on suchprecisemeasurements of time. The day is long past when we could getbywith a timepiece(钟)accurate to the nearest quarterhour.Transportation, financial markets, communication,manufacturing,electric power and many other technologies havebecome dependent onsuper-accurate clocks. Scientific research andthe demands ofmodern technology continue re drive our search forever moreaccuracy, The next generation of Cesium Time Standards ispresentlyunder development at NIST"s "Boulder Laboratory" andotherlaboratories around the world。

　　Something to Remr

　　The only thing that should be remred during all thistechnologicaldevelopment is that we should never lose the abilityto tell thetime approximately by natural means and the powers ofdeductionwithout requiring crutches(拐杖)to lean on。

　　Our concept of TIME and using it together with TECHNOLOGYstillhas room for radical reassessment in terms of man"sevolutionarythinking regarding our view of the past, our onwardjourney intothe future and our concept of time in relationship touniverse。

　　1. It is suggested that 5,000-6,000 years ago people in theMiddleEast and North Africa started to allot specific lengths oftime totasks。

　　2. Ancient Egyptian "shadow clock" or "sundial" discoveredaround1500 BC, could measure passage of "hours" automaticallyandcontinuously。

　　3. "Water clocks" was the first device that didn"t usetheobservation of the celestial bodies to calculate the passageoftime。

　　4. Galileo Galilei built the first "pendulum clock" as earlyas1656.

　　5. Water clocks were mostly used to determine ______。

　　6. Huygens" clock, a mechanical one, had an error of "lessthanonly one minute a day", which was a massive leap in thedevelopmentof ______。

　　7. Since Quartz clocks are both inexpensive to produce inmassscale and ______ in performance, they continue to dominatethemarket。

　　8. Scientific research and the ______ continue to drive oursearchfor ever more accuracy in time。

　　9. Of all the clocks introduced in the passage, the one withthemost accuracy is ______。

　　10. No matter how advanced the technology of measuring timewillbe we should never lose the ability to tell the timeapproximatelyby ______。

　　Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension(Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)

　　Section A

　　One of London Zoo"s recent advertisements caused mesomeirritation, so patently did it distort reality. Headlined"Withoutzoos you might as well tell these animals to get stuffed",it wasbordered with illustrations of several endangered species andwenton to extol the myth that without zoos like London Zootheseanimals "will almost certainly disappear forever". With thezooworld"s rather mediocre record on conservation, one mightbeforgiven for being slightly skeptical about suchanadvertisement。

　　Zoos were originally created as places of entertainment, andtheirsuggested involvement with conservation didn"t seriouslyarise untilabout 30 years ago, when the Zoological Society ofLondon held thefirst formal international meeting or3 the subject.Eight yearslater, a series of world conferences took place,entitled "TheBreeding of the Endangered Species", and from thispoint onwardsconservation became the zoo community"s buzzword.This commitmenthas now been clearly defined in The World ZooConservation Strategy(WZCS, 1993)， which does seem to be based onan unrealistic optimismabout the nature of the zoo industry。

　　The WZCS estimates that there are about 10,000 zoos in theworld,of which around 1,000 represent a core of qualitycollectionscapable of participating in coordinated conservationprograms. Thisis probably the document"s first failing, as Ibelieve that 10,000is a serious underestimate of the total numberof placesmasquerading as zoological establishments。

　　The second flaw in the reasoning of the WZCS document is thenaivefaith it place in its 1,000 core zoos. One would assume thatthecaliber of these institutions would have been carefullyexamined,but it appears that the criterion for inclusion on thisselect listmight merely be that the zoo is a mr of a zoofederation orassociation. This might be a good starting point,working on thepremise that mrs must meet certain standards, butagain the factsdon"t support the theory。

　　Even assuming that the 1,000 core zoos of the WZCS are all ofahigh standard, what might be the potential for conservation?Colin"Fudge, author of Last Animals at the Zoo argues that iftheworld"s zoos worked together in cooperative breeding programstheycould save around 2,000 species of endangered landvertebrates.This seems an extremely optimistic proposition from aman who mustbe aware of the failings and weaknesses of the zooindustry.Moreover, where are the facts to support suchoptimism?

　　Today approximately 16 species might be said to have been"saved"by captive breeding programs, although a number of these canhardlybe looked upon as resounding successes. Beyond that, aboutafurther 20 species are being seriously considered forzooconservation programs. Given that the international conferenceatLondon Zoo was held 30 years ago, this is pretty slow progress,anda long way off Tudge"s target of 2,000.

　　47. Zoos made an insignificant contribution to conservationupuntil ______ years ago。

　　48. According to the writer, one of WZCS"s failings is it______the number of zoos in the world。

　　49. In accordance with WZCS, what kind of zoos can participateinthe international coordinated conservation programs?

　　50. The writer doubts the value of the WZCS documentpartlybecause of its failure to examine the of the "core zoos"。

　　51. What word best describes the writer"s response toColinTudge"s prediction on captive breeding programs?

　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　U.S. college students are increasingly burdened with creditcarddebt, according to a study released Tuesday, and theconsequencescan be serious--ranging from higher drop-out rates tofutureemployment problems and even suicide。

　　Based on hundreds of face-to-face interviews and surveyswithstudents, sociologist Robert Manning of GeorgetownUniversityconcluded both the number with credit card debt andtheirindebtedness had been "systematically underreported" inpreviousstudies which failed to reflect the "survival strategies"many usedto cope with their debts. These included the use offederal studentloans to pay off credit cards, effectively shiftingthe debt,appeals to parents for loans, cutting back on course worktoincrease time at paid jobs, or even dropping out altogether toworkfull time. "Official drop-out rates include growing numbersofstudents who are unable to cope with the stress of theirdebtsand/or part time jobs for servicing their credit cards," thestudysaid。

　　Even then, debts can haunt students. "Student credit carddebtsare increasingly scrutinized during the recruitment processand maybe an important factor in evaluating prospective. employee,"itnoted. And the stress can also manifest in far more tragicways.Janne O"Donnell"s 2g-year-old son, a junior at the UniversityofOklahoma, committed O"Donnell and Manning agreed studentsshouldbear some responsibility for reckless use of credit, butsaidcredit card companies also had to be held accountable formaking itso easy for them to get into debt. Manning said one of themostdisturbing aspects of the student credit card issue was"theseduction of college and university administrators by thecreditcard industry." Card issuers were sponsoring schoolprograms,funding activities and even entering into businesspartnershipswith schools involving college-branded "affinity"cards, he said."As a result, rather than protecting the economicand educationalinterests of their students, college administratorsare playing anactive and often disingenuous role in promoting theprominence ofcredit cards in collegiate life."

　　52. Which is NOT one of the strategies American students mayuseto deal with their credit card debt?

　　A) Use federal student loans。

　　B) Seek part-time jobs to get money。

　　C) Promote the prominence of credit cards。

　　D) Ask parents to help them pay the debt。

　　53. Which may NOT be the consequence of students" creditcarddebt?

　　A) High drop-out rates。

　　B) Enter into business partnerships with schools。

　　C) Commit suicide。

　　D) Future employment problems。

　　54. Who should be least criticized for negative consequencesofstudents" credit card debt according to the passage?

　　A) Parents。

　　B) Students themselves。

　　C) College and university administrators。

　　D) Credit card issuers。

　　55. The main idea of this passage is ______。

　　A) negative consequences of students" using credit card

　　B) college administrators are playing their proper rolesinpromoting credit cards

　　C) card issuers or college administrators promoted creditcard

　　D) reasons for high drop-out rates in universities

　　56. We can infer from the passage that ______。

　　A) students should not have part-time jobs

　　B) credit cards should not be used

　　C) if there is no credit card, college students may notcommitsuicide

　　D) college students should learn to wisely manage theirpersonalfinances

　　Passage Two

　　The estimates of the numbers of home-schooled childrenvarywidely. The U. S. Department of Education estimates thereare250,000 to 350,000 home-schooled children in the country.Homeschool advocates put the number much higher at about amillion。

　　Home school advocates take a harsh attitude toward homeschoolers,perceiving their actions as the ultimate slap in theface for publiceducation and a damaging move for the children.Home schoolersharbor few kind words for public schools, chargingshortcomings thatrange from lack of religious perspective in thecurriculum to aherdlike approach to teaching children。

　　Yet, as public school officials realize they stand little togainby remaining hostile to the home school population, and ashomeschoolers realize they can reap benefits from public schools,thesehard lines seem to be softening a bit。

　　Public schools and home schoolers have moved closer totoleranceand, in some cases even cooperation. Says John Marshall,aneducation official," we are becoming relatively tolerant ofhomeschoolers. The idea is, let"s give the kids access to publicschoolso they"ll see it"s not as terrible as they"ve been told,andthey"ll want to come back." Perhaps, but don"t count on it,sayhome school advocates。

　　Home schoolers oppose the system because they havestrongconvictions that their approach to education--whether fueledbyreligious enthusiasm or the individual child"s interest andnaturalpace--is the best. "The bulk of home schoolers just want tobe leftalone。” Says Enge Cannon, associate director of the NationalCenterFor Home Education. She says home schoolers choose that pathfor avariety of reasons, but religion plays a role 85 percent ofthetime。

　　Professor Van Galen breaks home schoolers into two groups.Somehome schoolers want their children to learn not onlytraditionalsubject matter but also "strict religious doctrine andaconservative political and social perspective". Notincidentally,they also want their children to learn--bothintellectually andemotionally--that the family is the mostimportant institution insociety." Other home schoolers contend "notso much that theschools teach heresy, but that schools teachwhatever they teachinappropriately." Van Galen writes. "Theseparents are highlyindependent and strive to take responsibility fortheir own liveswithin a society that they define as bureaucraticandinefficient。

　　57. Which of the following statements is true?

　　A) Home schoolers engage private teachers to provideadditionaleducation for their children。

　　B) Home schoolers don"t go to school but are educated at homebytheir parents。

　　C) Home schoolers educate their children at home insteadofsending them to school。

　　D) Home schoolers advocate combining public education withhomeschooling。

　　58. Public schools are softening their position on homeschoolingbecause。

　　A) they want to show their tolerance for differentteachingsystems

　　B) there isn"t much they can do to change thepresentsituation

　　C) public schools have so many problems that they cannotofferproper education for all children

　　D) home schooling provides a new variety of educationforchildren

　　59. Most home schoolers" opposition to public education stemsfromtheir ______。

　　A) concern with the cost involved

　　B) worry about the inefficiency of public schools

　　C) devotion to religion

　　D) respect fro the interests of individuals

　　60. From the passage we know that home school advocates thinkthat______。

　　A) home schooling is superior and therefore they will noteasilygive in

　　B) their increased cooperation with public school will bringaboutthe improvement of public education

　　C) things in public schools are not so bad as has oftenbeensaid

　　D) their tolerance of public education will attract more kidstopublic schools

　　61. It can be concluded from Van Galen"s research that somehomeschoolers believe that ______。

　　A) teachers in public schools are not as responsible astheyshould be

　　B) public schools take up a herdlike approach toteachingchildren

　　C) public schools are the source of bureaucracy andinefficiencyin modern society

　　D) public schools cannot provide education that is good enoughfortheir children

　　An Eye-witness Account of a Traffic Accident

　　Yesterday afternoon, I happened to witness a terribletrafficaccident on my way home from school. It was 5:30 p. m. , Iwasriding my favorite Giant back home. When I got to the lastcrossingon the Golden Lion Street, the red light was on. So Iapplied thebrakes, along with a long queue of vehicles waiting topass。

　　Just at that moment, a heavy-load truck with earth roaredforwardat my side and bumped against a private Accord of Hondatravelingeastbound. As a result, the windshield of the lorry wasbroken intopieces and its driver got fatally wounded on the head onthesteering wheel. The driver of the Accord and his girlfriend,theonly passenger in the car, only got minor injuries, but hiscarlost its rear axel and two wheels and was totally dead。

　　As for the cause of the accident, I think the driver of thelorryshould be held responsible: the light was red then; he shouldhavestopped and waited. It was he who had broken thetrafficregulations. In addition, the bad weather was part of thecause. Itwas drizzling then, and the road was quite slippery.Finally, drunkdriving was probably an important factor. As thepolice discoveredon the spot; there was a heavy alcoholic smell onthe dead body ofthe lorry driver。

　　1. 由“Clocks”部分第一、二句“At best, historians know that 5,0006,000years ago, great civilizations in the Middle East and NorthAfricastarted to examine forms of clock-making instead of workingwithonly the monthly and annual calendar.., but it has beensuggestedthat the intention was to maximize time available toachieve moreas the size of the populationgrew。”可见中东和北非的一些民族在五六千年前就开始研制钟表了。由于人口的增长，研制一定的时间段用于工作”是正确的。因此，答案为YES。

　　2. 由“Sun Clocks”部分最后一段“Another ancient Egyptian "shadow clock"or"sundial" has been discovered to have been in use around 1500BC,which allowed the measuring of the passage of "hours"... For ittowork successfully then at midday or noon, the device had tobe

　　turned 180 degrees to measure theafternoonhours。”可见要想测量下午的时间，必须在正午将没备旋转180度。因此，我们可以断定这种计时器还不能做到连续、自动测量时间，必须在中午时手动旋转设备180度。故此题答案为NO。

　　3.由“Water Clocks”部分第一句“"Water clocks"were among the earliesttimekeeping devices that didn"t use the observation of thecelestialbodies to calculate thepassageOtime。”可见水钟是不靠观察天体来测量时间的最早的设备之一。但文章并没有进一步提供信息说它是否是第一个这样的计时设备。因此信息不充分，本题判断为NOTGIVEN。

　　4.由“Mechanical Clocks”部分第一段“In 1656，"ChristianHuygens"(Dutchscientist)， made the first "Pendulumclock"...."Galileo Galilei" iscredited，in most historical books，forinventing the pendulum asearly as 1582，but his design was not builtbeforehisdeath。”可以看出，大多数历史教科书认为GalileoGalilei是第一位早在1582年就设计出摆钟的人，但直到他去世也没有制作出摆钟。第一个摆钟是荷兰科学家ChristianHuygens制作出来的。故此句答案为NO。

　　5.由“Water Clocks”部分第三句“Most of these clocks were used todeterminethe hours of the night，but may have also been usedduringdaylight。”可见水钟主要用于夜间计时。故本题答案为“the hours of the night”。

　　6.由“Mechanical Clocks”部分第三、四句“Huygens"clock，when built，hadanerror of"less than only one minute a day."This was a massiveleapin the development of maintaining accuracy， as this hadpreviouslyneverbeenachieved。”可见这个钟的误差每天不到一分钟。这在计时准确性的发展史上，是巨大的飞跃。因此，本题的正确答案是“maintainingaccuracy”。

　　7.由“Quartz Clocks”部分第二段第一句“Quartz clocks continue to dominatethemarket because of the accuracy and reliability oftheperformance，also being inexpensive to produce onmassscale。”可见由于其准确和稳定，也由于其成本低，适于大规模生产，石英钟将继续占有市场的主导地位。故此题正确答案为“accurateandreliable”。

　　8.由“AtomicClocks”部分第四段第三、四句“Transportation，financialmarkets，communication，manufacturing，electric power and many othertechnologies have becomedependent on super- accurateclocks.Scientific research and thedemands of modern technologycontinue to drive our search for evermoreaccuracy。”可见是科学研究和现代技术的要求驱使我们不断探寻日益精确的计时方法。故本题答案为“demands ofmoderntechnology”。

　　9.由“Atomic Clocks”部分第三段最后一句“Fromthe"Macrocosm"，or"PlanetaryAlignment"， to the"Microcosm"，or"AtomicFrequency"，the cesium nowmaintains accuracy with a degree of errorto about"one-millionth ofa secondperyear"。”可见随着技术的发展，原子钟已经可以达到一年误差大约一百万分之一秒。比起前面的钟表不知道精确了多少倍。故本题答案为“theatomicclock”。

　　10.由“Something to Remr”部分第一段“The only thing that should beremredduring all this technological development is that we shouldneverlose the ability to tell the time approximately by naturalmeansand the powers of deduction without requiring crutches toleanon”可见无论计时技术如何发展，我们不能失去通过自然手段判定大概时间的基本能力。故本题答案为“naturalmeans”。

The Bretton Woods Agreementwassigned in 1944. When it was signed, it seemed to be agoodsystem。

　　The Bretton Woods Agreement had two main parts. The firstpartconcerned exchange rates. All of the countries that signedtheagreement promised to regulate their exchange rates. Thecountriespromised not to change their exchange rates too often.This was avery important part of the agreement. It helped tostabilize theinternational finance system. The second part of theBretton WoodsAgreement concerned a currency fund. The fund wassupposed to helpcountries that needed currency. All the countriescontributed someof their currency to the fund.

　　Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)

　　Section A

　　47.由第二段第一句“Zoos were originally created as placesofentertainment，and their suggested involvement withconservationdidn"t seriously arise until about 30 yearsago.。.”可知正确答案为“30”。

　　48.从第三段第二句“This is probably the document"s first failing，asIbelieve that 10，000 is a serious underestimate of the totalnumberof places masquerading aszoologicalestablishments。”中可以看出，作者认为文件的第一个缺点是大大低估了全世界动物园的数目。明目繁多但实质是动物园的机构远远多于一万这个数目。可见此处要填的词是意为“低估”的动词。因此，正确答案为“underestimates”。

　　49.第四段作者谈到选择参与保护项目的核心动物园的标准时提到“One would assume that thecaliberof these institutions would have been carefully examined，butitappears that the criterion for inclusion on this select listmightmerely be that the zoo is a mr of a zoo federationorassociation。”，实际上列入候选的唯一标准可能是：该动物园是动物园联盟或者动物园协会的成员。故该题可以答为“Anyzoothat is a mr of a zoo federation or association。”。

　　50.由第四段第二句和第三句“One would as some that the caliber oftheseinstitutions would have been carefully examined，but it appearsthatthe criterion for inclusion on this select list might merelybethat the zoo is a mr of a zoo federation or association.Thismightbe a good starting point，working On the premise that mrs mustmeetcertain standards，but again the facts don"t supportthetheory。”可见人们都以为参与保护项目的动物园应该按照标准(caliber)严格筛选，但没想到例如候选的唯一标准(criterion)可能只是该动物园是动物园协会或者联盟的成员。如果这些协会的成员达到一定的标准(standards)也就罢了，但事实并非如此。两句话中“标准”三次出现。可见作者认为WZCS的第二个缺点是在挑选参与保护项目的动物园时，没有严格的标准。因此，此题要填的词为文中所出现的“caliber/criterion/standard”中的任何一个。

　　51.文章第五段作者提到：ColinTudge预测全球合作的喂养保护项目可以保护大约2000种濒临灭绝的陆地脊椎动物。随后，在第六段中作者讲到30年以来只有16种物种可以说是被圈养保护项目所拯救了。这离Tudge所说的2000种物种得到保护的目标还差得很远。稍加推测可知，作者对Tudge预测的目标是不信任的、怀疑的。因此，答案可以是“Disbelieving./Skeptical./Doubtful。”。

　　Section B

　　52.细节甄别题。文中第二段提及“These included the use of federal studentloansto pay off credit cards，effectively shifting the debt，appealstoparents for loans，cutting back on course work to increase timeatpaid jobs，or even dropping out altogether to workfulltime。”，因此，正确答案为C项。选项C是college administrators从事的活动，不是美国学生。

　　53.细节甄别题。文中开篇提到“the consequences can be serious-rangingfromhigher drop- out rates to future employment problems andevensuicide”，最后一段谈到“Card issuers were sponsoringschoolprograms，funding activities and even entering intobusinesspartnerships withschools”，由此可以看出选项B是cardissuers从事的活动，而不是美国学生，更不是使用creditcard的后果。因此，正确答案为B项。

　　54.细节题。文末倒数第二句、第三句中提到了“students，cardcompanies，universityadministrators”都应该为信用卡负面影响负责。因此，正确答案为A项。

　　55.主旨题。本文首句即提到“U.S.college students are increasingly burdenedwithcredit card debt”，第二段主旨是“growing numbers of students who areunableto cope with the stress of their debts and/or part time jobsforservicing their credit cards”。第三段讲“debts canhauntstudents”，最后一段主要讲述“who should answer for thenegativeconsequences”。因此，正确答案为A项。

　　56.推断题。文章主要讲述学生使用信用卡的负面影响，但也不能千篇一律断然否定使用信用卡，因而选项B不对。不使用信用卡电不能保证美国学生不自杀，故选项C不对。美国学生有part-time工作，是司空见惯也不能因为信用卡的负面影响而取消，故排除选项A。采用逐个排除法，可以确定正确答案为D项。

　　57.细节题。通过阅读文章可知“homeschoolers”和“publicschools”是相对立的。前者是指那些让孩子在家里接受教育的社会群体。故答案为C项。

　　58.细节题。从文章第三段可知，由于公立学校的官员们意识到，和提倡让孩子在家接受教育的社会群体一直保持敌对态度是无益处的，因此双方的矛盾有了一定的缓和。故答案为B项。

　　59.细节题。第五段最后一句作者提到：homeschoolers之所以坚持自己的教育方法主要是因为宗教原因，因此答案为C项。

　　60.细节推断题。从文章最后两段可知，homeschoolers认为他们的教育方法是最好的，并希望自己的这种生活方式、教育方法不受打扰。故答案为A项。

　　61.推断题。从文章最后一段可知，homeschoolers希望自己的孩子不仅要学习传统课程，而且要学习严格的宗教知识。从这一角度来说，他们认为家是最好的教育场所。而另一些homeschoolers则认为学校的教育方法是不恰当。他们倒不十分在意学校的教学内容。因此答案为D项。

　　Part V Cloze

　　62.本题考查关系代词。A项which作关系代词时，意指“那些，那个”，指物，而此句先行词为technicalvocabulary，因此A项为正确答案。B项what作关系代词时，意指“所”……事物(或人)”，C项who和D项whom都是指人的关系代词，不合句意。

　　63.本题考查词义。根据上下文可知，此处单词要与thingsorprocesses搭配，C项designate意为“标明，表示”，用在一起，说明专业词汇的作用是表示事物和过程，因此为正确答案。A项describe意为“描述”，根据后文，我们知道专业词汇不具备这样的作用，命名是比描述更简单的过程，所以排除。B项talkabout意为“讨论，谈论”；D项indicate意为“指出”，更加不符合上下文的语意。

　　64.本题考查句子之间的逻辑关系。上文中提到了专业词汇的作用，下文则说明专业词汇还能节省时间，显然是对上文的补充，D项besides表示补充关系故正确；选项Aconsequently表示因果关系：B项incontrast表示对比关系；C项however表示转折关系。

　　65.本题考查词义。分析句意可知，空白处所填单词的意思应为“经济的，实惠的”，A项economical意为“经济的，实惠的”，故正确。B项economic意为“经济上的，经济学的”；C项thrift意为“勤俭节约的”；D项economized意为“有效利用的，节省的”。

　　66.本题考查词义。本句的意思是指成千上万的技术词汇都收录进了词典。空白处所填单词为副词修饰这个句子，A项properly意为“恰当地”，符合上下文语意，故正确。B项possibly意为“可能地”；C项probably意为“大概，或许”；D项potentially意为“潜在地”。

　　67.本题考查固定搭配。ontheoutskirts构成固定搭配，指“在郊区，在……边缘上”，在句中是指专业词汇还处在英语的边缘上，因此正确答案为B项。

　　68.本题考查词义。分析句中空白处可知所填单词为副词，修饰动词differ(不同，不一致)，A项largely意为“主要地，很大程度上地”；B项widely意为“广泛地，相差很大地”；C项generally意为“一般地，普通地”；D项extensively意为“广泛地，广阔地”，其中widely经常与differ搭配，并符合题意，故选B项。

　　69.本题考查词义。根据上下文本句的意思是专业词汇主要包括本族词和外来词，A项constitutes意为“组成……”，不合句意；B项comprises意为“包含，由……组成”，为及物动词；C项composes意为“组成，作曲”，经常用于becomposedof句型，不符合本句的结构要求；D项consists意为“包括”，用于consistof句型，符合句子要求，为正确答案。

　　70.本题考查固定搭配。本句中workoneselfinto.。.意为“进入”，句中表示外来词进入了我们的语言结构，故选A项。

　　71.本题考查句子之间的逻辑关系。上文中提到了专业词汇主要由本族词和那些进入我们语言结构的外来词构成，下文则说这些词在声音上更为熟悉，显然上下文之间构成了因果关系，上文是因，下文是果，A项However表示转折关系；B项Because表示原因；C项Hence表示结果；D项Inaddition表示补充关系，因此正确答案为C项。

　　72.本题考查词义。本句是个比较句，是比较本族词和那些进入我们语言结构的外来词构成的专业词汇，A项understood意为“理解”，说这些词汇更好地为人们所理解，符合句意；B项considered意为“考虑”；C项known意为“被人所知的”；D项thought意为“思考”，都不太准确，因此正确答案为A项。

　　73.本题考查句子之间的逻辑关系。上下文提到专业词汇主要由本族词和那些进入我们语言结构的外来词构成，下文则说各行业还有很多不为人们所熟知的词汇，显然上下文之间是转折关系，A项Therefore表示因果关系；B项Yet表示转折关系：C项Incontrast表示对比关系；D项So表示因果关系，因此正确答案为B项。

　　74.本题考查词义。本句意为每个行业都还有很多词汇不被人们所知，分析句子可知空白处所填单词应为量词，A项series意为“系列”；U项body作量词意为“大量”；C项set意为“一套，一副”；D项range意为“范围，行列”，只有B项最为恰当，为正确答案。

　　75.固定搭配题。句中be (remain) foreignto构成固定搭配，意为“与……，无关，不为……所知”，句中意思是每个行业都还有很多词汇甚至不被受过教育的人所知，因此正确答案为C项。

　　76.本句中proportion(比例)是指不为人们所知的词汇的比例，本句所说的是这个比例在过去的50年以来发生的变化，A项decreased意为“减少”，显然不合题意与常识；B项diminished意为“减少，变小”，也不正确，C项increasing意为“增加，提高”，但-ing形式不符合句子结构；因此，D项increased为正确答案。

　　77.本题考查词义。空白处所填单词修饰terms(术语)，A项made意为“制造”，说术语是制造出来的不合适：D项coined意为“造字，造词”，符合句意；C项produced意为“生产”；D项formed意为“形成”，都不符合句意，因此正确答案为B项。

　　78.本题考查词义。A项related意为“有关系的”，B项addressing意为“从事于，忙于，写姓名地址”；C项confined意为“局限于”；D项connected意为“有联系的”，根据句意说新造的术语局限于特殊的行业更为准确，因此正确答案为C项。

　　79.语法知识题。本句中once意为“曾经”，因此要用过去时，而主语为复数，所以正确选项为D项。

　　80.本题考查固定搭配。句中beacquaintedwith构成固定搭配，意为“热悉……”，句中意思为大众科学使每个人都熟悉现代的观点和最新发现。A项associated和D项connected也能与with构成搭配，意思分别是“与……有关联”，“与……联系在一起”，都不合句意，因此正确答案为C项。

　　81.本句表达的意思是任何科学实验，即便是在很远的实验室完成的，都能被人们尽快熟知，A项though引导让步状语从句，符合句意；B项when引导时间状语从句，C项as意为“像”，D项since表示原因，都不符合句意，因此正确答案为A项。

　　Part Ⅵ Translation

　　82.[注释]本句的翻译关键在于“汲取”、“空白处”和“做笔记”。知识的“汲取”或“吸收”应使用absorb；“空白处”固定表达为margin，虽然margin也有“边际”的含义；“做笔记”则为make notes。

　　83.[注释] 本句翻译不难。首先是“比任何时候”的翻译使用句型“...thaneverbefore”。其次，“流动，移动”翻译为mobile。

　　84.[注释]本句的翻译首先要做到就是“是……而不是……”应使用句型“rather...than”。其次，“根据”翻译为onthe basisof，当然也可以使用by这一类词；此外，“总体印象”应翻译为general impression。

　　85.[注释] 首先“梦想”的翻译使用词组dream of；本句的一个难点是“失重”——gravity-free的翻译。

　　86.[注释]本句翻译的难点是“独家采访”和“头条”。“独家”即表示排除其他，因此翻译为exclusive；“头条”则应译为front pageheadline。 (来源：人民网-教育频道)
