8.On May 3,2002,archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300BC.Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior.There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat.He carried a copper knife on his breast.The most amazing find was two gold earrings.That would have made him a man of distinction.Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay,tools and materials to make arrows,a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second,smaller copper knife.Next to them lay a cushion stone,upon which the man could work metal.
His grave is the richest of any found from that period,because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470BC).Besides,he was buried three miles from Stonehenge.Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.
Stonehenge was begun around 3000BC.In about 2300BC the huge stone circles were built.The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons.But the smaller blue stones,still weighing 4tons on average,came from west Wales.It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380km.It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.
He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain.In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.

1.Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man'?D
A.Tools,a bone pin,a bow and a cushion stone
B.A copper knife and two gold earrings.
C.Two pots,arrows and materials to make arrows.

A.A poor man      
B.a(chǎn) kind-hearted man
C.a(chǎn) rich man       
D.a(chǎn)n ordinary man

A.He was buried three miles from Stonehenge.
B.He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain.
C.He might be a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.

分析 本文敘述了2002年5月3日,英國考古學家發(fā)現(xiàn)了一座約公元前2300的男人墓穴.這個墓穴有很多隨喪物品,從這些東西可已看出他是當時比較富有的.他被埋在巨石陣的3英里處;考古學家推測他可能參與了巨石陣的建設,但是至今還不知道這些石頭是如何從380公里以外的地方運來的.就技術發(fā)展而言,人們正從石器時代過渡到青銅器時代.

解答 1---5 DCDDC
1.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段He carried a copper knife on his breast.The most amazing find was two gold earrings.That would have made him a man of distinction.Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay,tools and materials to make arrows,a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second,smaller copper knife.Next to them lay a cushion stone,upon which the man could work metal可知,說明A、B、C三項都是所發(fā)現(xiàn)的東西,只有D項不是.故選D.
2.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段His grave is the richest of any found from that period,because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC)可知,說明他可能是一個很富有的人.故選C.
3.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC).Besides,he was buried three miles from Stonehenge.Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge可知,說明A、B、C三項都是推斷的原因.故選D.
4.D 細節(jié)題解題.根據(jù)第三段The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons.But the smaller blue stones,still weighing 4tons on average,came from west Wales.It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380km可知,把重達20噸的石頭運送380公里在那時幾乎是不可能的.故選D.
5.C 推斷判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age可知,說明巨石陣是在很長的時間里建成的.故選C.

點評 本文講述了在巨石陣的附近發(fā)掘出的一個墓穴的情況,本文以細節(jié)題的考查為主,細節(jié)題是針對文中某個細節(jié)、某句話或某部分具體內(nèi)容設置問題,正確答案的根據(jù)一定可以在原文中找到,即原文的改寫往往成為正確選項.通常細節(jié)題的正確選項有以下特征:對原文句子中的關鍵詞進行替換.把原文中的一些詞換成意義相近的詞,成為正確選項.詞性或者語態(tài)的變化.

18.Andy rode slowly on his way to school,day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him.He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present.He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the sky.What he saw shocked and terrified him.A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.
With no time to waste,Andy sped off in the opposite direction,riding furiously-but without knowing how to escape the swarm.As the bees came closer,his panic increased.Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇).The last sting had landed him in hospital-and that was only one bee sting!Suddenly,his father's words came to him."When you are in a tight situation,don't panic.Use your brain and think your way out of it."
On a nearby hill,he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home."Bees don't like smoke,"he thought."They couldn't get into the house."But Andy knew he could not reach the house in time.He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.
Suddenly,out of the corner of his eyes,he spotted a small dam used by Mr.Nelson.Off his bike and into the cool water he dived,disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects.After holding his breath for as long as he could,Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone.Dragging himself out of the dam,he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell.Mrs.Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.

A.He was riding to school.
B.He was listening to a strange sound.
C.He was going fishing with his father.

The hotel is in the middle of the forest,and it shows the pleasure of Africa.When you visit it,you will be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses,and then a guide,with a gun to protect you against big game,will go with you to the Treetops.Before and after dinner,for the whole night if you wish,you can sit on the corridor(走廊),watching animals come to the water pool.The earliest hotel Treetops was built round a large tree on the opposite side of the water,but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel Treetops,which is built round several trees,is much bigger.
The dining room at Treetops is small,and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests,so a clever"railway service"has been invented.Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them,along a line in the center of the table.

16.Our children grew up on peanut butter and jelly (果凍) sandwiches.Even my husband and I sometimes ate one secretly at late night with a glass of milk.It was too delicious and tasty.My mother-in-law was the jelly maker in this family.The jelly was made of either grape or blackberry.The only job I did to the jelly making was to save baby food jars (罐子),which my mother-in-law would fill with the tasty gel (凝膠體),pack them up and send back to our home.For the past 22 years of my married life,whenever I wanted to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for ourselves,all I had to do was reach for one of those little jars of jelly.It was always there.
This past December,my mother-in-law passed away.Among the things in the house to be divided by her children were the remaining canned goods in the pantry (食品儲藏室).When my husband brought his jars home,we carefully put them away in our pantry.
The other day I reached in there to get jelly for a quick sandwich,and there it was.Sitting all alone on the far side of the shelf was a small jar of grape jelly.As I picked up the jar,I suddenly realized something that I had failed to see earlier-this was the last jar we would ever have from my mother-in-law.Although she had been dead for nearly a year,so much of her had remained with us.Our children had never known a day without their grandmother's jelly.It seems like such a small thing,and most days it was something that was ignored.But today it seemed a great treasure.
No longer was it just a jar of jelly.It was the end of a family tradition.I believed that as long as it was there,a part of my mother-in-law would always live on.
61.Why did the couple eat the jelly secretly at late night?A
A.Because it was very delicious and nice.
B.Because it was only made for children.
C.Because it was made by mother-in-law.
D.Because it was good to health.
62.What can we know about the author in making jelly?B
A.She could make baby food by herself.
B.She could only collect baby food jars.

63.What did the mother-in-law leave to the author?C

B.Some baby food in the house.
C.Some canned jars filled with jelly.
D.A lot of money.
64.What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 3 refer to?D
A.a(chǎn) quick sandwich     B.the shelf       C.grape          D.jelly
65.What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?A

3.Derek Wayne has obtained a 30-year,fixed-rate home loan of  100,000with an annual interest rate of 7.5percent.Because the loan extends for such a lengthy period,the mortgage(抵押) company calculates a monthly payment that ensures it will get most of its interest back first.Thus in the beginning months,Wayne's principal payment-the amount he pays toward his actual loan-increases extremely slowly.
Payment NumberTotal Monthly
Payment
Principal Portion of PaymentInterest Portion of PaymentCurrent Balance
1699.21 74.21 625.0099,925.79
2699.2174.68624.5499,854.11
359699.21690.568.66694.87
360699.21694.874.340.00
Let's analyze Wayne's early payments.Imagine that on December 15the Mauritanian Mortgage Corporation gives Wayne 100,000,and on January 15his initial payment is due.Throughout this first month,interest accumulates on the entire  100,000.On a yearly interest rate of 7.5%,Wayne's monthly rate is 0.625% or 7.5%divided by 12.Multiplying 100,000by 0.625% yields 625,the portion of Wayne's first monthly payment that is interest.So Wayne now owes  99,925.79 ( 100,625-699.21).His February interest payment will be 0.625% of  99,925.79.
By the time Wayne makes his last few payments,his monthly interest payment has decreased considerably.His balance following his 359th payment is  694.87,and 0.625% of that is about  4.34,his final interest payment.What was the total amount of interest Wayne paid?Multiplying 360months by 699.21equals  251,715.60,and subtracting 100,000(the loan amount) leaves 151,715.60-over 1.5times what he actually borrowed!
46.This passage is mainly concerned withC.
A.Derek Wayne
B.the Mauritanian Mortgage Corporation
C.how interest payments on a loan change
D.calculating the number of payments Wayne made
47.The monthly interest rate on Wayne's loan wasC.
A.7.5%  B.6.5%  C.0.625%  D.625
48.We can conclude that Wayne's total monthly paymentwasalwaysA.
A.699.21B.100,000C.360            D.$151,715.60
49.The table in the passage helps the readers seeB.
A.Wayne's down payment before he took out the loan
B.Wayne's first and last payments
C.how much his interest payments increased

13.A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect(傳染) a computer without permission or knowledge of the user and runs against his/her wishes.All computer viruses are man-made.Here are some virus prevention tips.
Do not open any files(文件) attached to an e-mail from an unknown,or untrustworthy source.
Do not open any files attached to an e-mail unless you know what it is,even if it appears to come from a dear friend or someone you know.Some viruses can copy themselves and spread through e-mail.Better be safe than sorry and make sure that they really sent it.
Do not open any files attached to an e-mail if the subject line is questionable or unexpected.If the need to do so is there,always save the file to your hard drive before doing so.
Delete(刪除) chain e-mails and junk e-mails.Do not forward(轉(zhuǎn)寄)or reply to any of them.These types of e-mail are considered spam(垃圾郵件),which contains lots of annoying advertisements and useless information.
Do not download any files from strangers.Be careful when downloading files from the Internet.Ensure that the source is a legal and trustworthy one.Make sure that an anti-virus program checks the files on the download site.If you are uncertain,don't download the file at all or download the file to a floppy(軟盤)and test it with your own anti-virus software.
Update your anti-virus software regularly.Over 500viruses are discovered each month,so you'll want to be protected.
Back up(備份) your files on a regular basis.If a virus destroys your files,at least you can replace them with your backup copy.You should store your backup copy in a separate location from your work files,one that is better not to be on your computer.
29.What does the passage mainly deal with?D
A.Damage caused by computer virus.
B.Viruses attached to emails.
C.Proper use of personal computers.
D.Prevention from computer viruses.
30.From the passage we can see that a computer virusD.

12.Businesses are witnessing a difficult time,which has in turn produced influence on consumers'desire to go green.However,shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.
Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations  inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago,while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.
This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves.And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly.Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies,with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company's environmental reputation was not good enough.
Harry Morrison,chief executive(主管)of the Carbon Trust,sympathizes:"I understand this situation where survival is very important now.But from environmental considerations,the clock is ticking-we don't have much time.In addition,cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand."
Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint,as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions(排放).Those that have taken early action will have a head start.More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible.This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.
The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing."When companies are granted(授予)the standard,they can use a logo(標識)in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,"Mr.Morrison said.

67.What's the main idea of the passage?B
A.Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.
B.Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers'environmental awareness.
C.Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.
D.Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.
68.The underlined word"inform"in Paragraph 2probably means"C".
A.disturb     B.change       C.a(chǎn)ffect          D.reject
69.According to Harry Morrison,businessesB.
A.should buy carbon allowances for shoppers
B.will benefit from cutting carbon emissions
C.a(chǎn)re required to make up for their carbon emissions
D.have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere
70.We can learn from the passage that businesses willA.
A.gain advantages by taking early action
B.use the same logo in their marketing
C.have a strong desire to reduce costs
D.a(chǎn)ttract more shoppers by storing goods.
