第二部分 英語知識運用
參考譯文
大多數(shù)年輕人都喜歡體育運動，散步、騎自行車、足球或是登山。
這些熱愛攀登既高又費力的山峰的登山者們經(jīng)常令人感到驚奇。為什么人們愿意經(jīng)受嚴(yán)寒和困難去高高的山上冒險呢?這種驚奇很可能是由登山與人們從事的其他休閑運動之間的差別引起的。
不同于高爾夫球和足球這樣的游戲活動，沒有人為登山制定規(guī)則。當(dāng)然，登山有不同種類的規(guī)定。不遵守這些規(guī)定，登山就會很危險。正是由于不受人為制定規(guī)則的制約，登山吸引了很多人。登山者可以自由地使用自己的方法。
如果把登山和其他我們熟悉的體育運動做比較，我們可能會認(rèn)為它們之間一個很大的不同就是登山不是一項“集體運動”。要是這樣想那我們就錯了。確實，登山隊伍之間沒有競爭比賽，但是當(dāng)?shù)巧秸邆兲幱趲r石表面，他們的生命系于這根繩索之上時，很明顯這就是團隊合作。登山者清楚他必須同比人類更強大更有力的自然力量做斗爭。他從事的體育項目要求他具備很高的心理和身體素質(zhì)。
登山者可以年復(fù)一年地不斷提高技能。一個滑雪者可能在30歲時就過了競技的黃金年齡，大多數(shù)國際網(wǎng)球冠軍是剛剛20出頭。然而五六十歲的人登上阿爾卑斯山脈中的高峰卻一點也不稀奇。他們也許比年輕人要付出更多的時間，但他們技巧更加嫻熟，省了不少體力。當(dāng)然.他們會享受到同樣多的樂趣。
答案及解析
26.A【解析】此題考查詞語搭配。have a passion for sth.為固定搭配，
意為“對…有強烈的感情、愛好”。
27.D【解析】此題考查動詞短語的搭配和對文意的理解。A項look up to意為“仰慕，尊敬(某人)”;B項look forward意為“期待，盼望”，與介詞t0搭配;C項look in to意為“調(diào)查(問題、罪行等)”;只有D項look upon(又作look on)有“把…看作，把…視為”之意，符合原文的意思。
28.A 【解析】此題考查對上下文的理解。A項willing意為“愿意的”，前一句話已表明人們熱愛攀登高山險山，根據(jù)上下文推測，此處應(yīng)為“愿意的”。
29.C【解析】此題考查短語辨析和對文意的理解。B項run risk意為“冒險”，有被動地處于危險之中的意思;C項takea risk也為“冒險”之意。但不同于B項，這里有明知道有危險也要主動去冒險的意思。根據(jù)上下文推測，既然登山者愿意遭受嚴(yán)寒克服困難，應(yīng)該是主動去冒險。
30.A【解析】9ive leisure to sth.的意思是“把空閑時間用于…”。
31.D【解析】此句的意思是“像高爾夫和足球那樣的游戲”，因為詞性不同，當(dāng)修飾單數(shù)名詞時，S0的用法是SO+adj.+a(神+n.如so tall a man;而such的用法是such+a(n)+adj.+n.，如suchabeautiful girl。因此選D。
32.C【解析】此句意為“不遵守規(guī)定登山會很危險”。C項ignore為“忽視，不理”，符合題意。
33.B【解析】此題考查對語法句型的掌握?！癐t is…that…”為強調(diào)句型。
34.A【解析】此題考查對文意的理解。文中的意思是“登山者們自由地選擇登山方法”，故選擇A項。.
35.D【解析】此題考查詞義辨析。C項compare with意為“與…比較”;D項contrast with意為“對比，對照”，指比較某一物與另一物，以顯出它們相異之處，出現(xiàn)明顯的差別。此句后面有“one bigdifference”。故選D項。
36.D【解析】連詞that引導(dǎo)的從句作系動詞is的表語?？筛鶕?jù)選項的詞性和其在句子中作的語法成分進行分析。
37.D【解析】此題考查介詞的用法。D項between意為“在…之間，”句意為“登山隊伍之間沒有競爭比賽，這是事實”。”
38.C【解析】此題考查詞義辨析。depend on sb.or sth.指“需要某人或某物的支持和幫助”，文章的意思是“他們的生命取決于一根繩索”。且depend與介詞on搭配。
39.D【解析】此題考查詞義辨析。A，C，D項都有“力量”之意。但strength強調(diào)“力量的強度”;power指“運用能力或是體力和腦力來做某事”;force指“實施力量，產(chǎn)生行動或是征服對手”，符合題意。
40.B【解析】這里與mental“智力的”相對應(yīng)的應(yīng)為physical“體力的”。
41.B【解析】此題考查對文意的理解。根據(jù)此句后面的yearafter year，此處應(yīng)選有“持續(xù)”之意的動詞B項。
42.C【解析】系動詞be+in+one’s twenties表示“在某人二十多歲時”。因為主語是名詞復(fù)數(shù)，故選C。
43.A【解析】此題考查詞義辨析和對文意的理解。A項unusual意為“不尋常的”，根據(jù)上下文，雙重否定表示肯定。
44.D【解析】根據(jù)對上下文的理解。爬山者年齡大應(yīng)該“使用更多的時間”。
45.D【解析】A項shortage意為“短缺”;D項waste意為“浪費”。此處指保存體力，不浪費體力。

美國準(zhǔn)備著迎接世界上大的足球盛宴，他們有史以來第承辦了世界杯。當(dāng)全世界有數(shù)以百萬計的人在踢足球時，這項運動在美國才剛剛火熱起來。大批美國青年人對足球感興趣還是近30年的事。但現(xiàn)在它是美國發(fā)展快的運動。一項近的調(diào)查顯示大約有一千八百萬的美國青年男女踢足球。
這項調(diào)查同樣表明，足球已經(jīng)開始代替更多的傳統(tǒng)運動，比如橄欖球，成為學(xué)生當(dāng)中流行的運動。因此，世界杯下周開賽時預(yù)計去看球的美國人超過一百萬。主辦方聲稱這一屆的世界杯會成為歷盛大的一屆。52場比賽中大部分場次的座位已全部售完。
足球在美國僅僅有一百多年的歷史，但這項運動是怎樣流傳到這個國家的?足球在世界其他地方存在多久了?沒有人確切地知道足球是從哪里起源或是人們從什么時候開始踢足球。某些科學(xué)家表示，有證據(jù)證明用腳玩的球類運動幾千年前就有了。現(xiàn)在也有證據(jù)顯示古希臘、古羅馬和美國土著印第安人玩類似于足球的運動。
大部分專家都承認(rèn)英國是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)源地，他們同樣也認(rèn)為英國把足球傳播到了世界各地。不同的是，現(xiàn)在比賽中用的足球是人造材料或是皮革質(zhì)地，而過去使用的球常常是用動物的胃做的。早期足球比賽的規(guī)則也與現(xiàn)在有所不同。
答案及解析
46.C【解析】是非題。見文中第一段第五句提到，足球在美國是發(fā)展快的運動，但沒有說在世界范圍內(nèi)是發(fā)展快的運動。故選C。
47.B【解析】細節(jié)題。見第二段第一句，“…soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like Americanfootball as the most popular sport among students.”可知“American football”是在青少年中為流行的傳統(tǒng)運動。故選B。
48.A【解析】細節(jié)題。見第三段第一句話。
49.B【解析】細節(jié)題。見后一段第一句，英國是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)明者。
50.B【精析】推理題。文中后一段講述了英國足球是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)明國，接下來就應(yīng)該介紹一下足球在英國的發(fā)展才符合邏輯。故選B。

一個家庭的內(nèi)聚力似乎要依靠家庭成員們一起做一些常規(guī)的事情來維系。然而由于美國勞動力人數(shù)的增多，在非正常工作時間的輪班工作，也就是我們通常所說的“換班工作”，使家庭生活面臨困境。
現(xiàn)有的調(diào)查表明男性和女性的倒班工人都承認(rèn)壓力很大，工作和家庭生活的需求相互沖突。但是，從事?lián)Q班工作的夫婦們?nèi)匀槐３种鴮橐龅囊饬x和夫妻各自責(zé)任的傳統(tǒng)觀念。他們表示仍然愿意“不惜一切代價”實現(xiàn)他們認(rèn)為正常的婚姻生活，譬如犧牲睡眠時間或是在非常規(guī)的時間去做一些慣例的事情。大多數(shù)接受采訪的夫婦，甚至是那些妻子在外工作的家庭都認(rèn)為，正常家庭生活的顯著特點還是清楚的分工：丈夫是家庭的“支撐者”，他們主要的責(zé)任是養(yǎng)活全家，而妻子仍然是“主婦”，她們負(fù)責(zé)打掃、做飯、照顧丈夫和孩子。
以下是一個妻子對“好丈夫”的定義，這代表了所有女人的看法：
我希望他能養(yǎng)家。在我需要的時候陪在我身邊，和我熱衷于相同的事物。希望他也愿意支配我，就像我期望的那樣。這么說吧，在需要他表現(xiàn)得像個男人的時候，我希望他挺身而出，而不是坐視不管，卻想讓我去處理一切。
丈夫們眼中的好妻子是這樣的：
她要理解我在工作中的感受。我需要在工作時受尊重，我希望能在工作中找到受尊重的感覺。我要我的妻子明白我對工作的期望。我可不想每天下班回家的時候，她嘮叨個沒完，因為我也不知道這是否有意義。以上的觀點對于維護那些輪班工作的夫妻家庭是至關(guān)重要的。參考譯文
51.B 【解析】“：,shiftwork”意為“working shifts beyond the normal day light hours”。而A、C選項中“traditional beliefs about marriage”，“a very cleardivision of roles”均為“a stable life”的一部分，不符合題意。
52.C【解析】由文中“the women’s definitions of a good husband”可以看出C為正確答案。
53.A【解析】由文章主旨句“shift work makes the lives 0f families difficult”可知選A。
54.D【解析】聯(lián)系全文，知A、B、c三項均正確。
55.C【解析】先排除D項，因全文圍繞shift work展開，B項則太具體A項則涵義過廣，全文切入點為marriage。

你是否發(fā)現(xiàn)早上起床很困難甚至有點痛苦?這也許可以被稱作懶惰，但克萊特曼博士有一種新的解釋，他已證明每個人都有一個每目的能量周期。
工作的時候，你可能會說你很“熱”。沒錯!一天當(dāng)中你覺得精力為充沛的時候就是你的體溫周期達到高峰的時候。對一些人來說，這一高峰會在午前到來。而對另一些人來說，則到下午或是晚上才來到。還沒有人知道為什么會這樣，但大家都能聽到那種很熟悉的自言自語，如“該起床了，彼得!上班又要遲到了!”對這種煩惱可能性的解釋就是彼得的體溫與能量高峰在晚上到來。當(dāng)夫婦們了解到能量周期的內(nèi)容，并知曉每個家庭成員的能量周期時，諸多家庭爭端才能結(jié)束。
你無法改變你的能量周期，但你可以使你的生活習(xí)慣更加適應(yīng)它?？巳R特曼博士認(rèn)為習(xí)慣是有幫助的。也許你晚上很困，但你覺得無論如何都得熬夜。習(xí)慣性地延遲睡覺時間可以在一定程度上對抗你的周期。如果你早上能量低，但在一大清早有件很重要的工作要做，那就比平時早些起床。這樣做不會改變你的周期。但你可以在能量低的時候鼓起干勁，更好地工作。
慢慢地開始一天的工作有助于節(jié)約能量。起床時放松地打個哈欠，伸伸懶腰。在床邊坐一會兒再下地。前一天晚上把干凈衣服放好，這樣就不用手忙腳亂地到處亂翻。盡可能在下午做常規(guī)工作，把需要更多能量與注意力的任務(wù)留到佳狀態(tài)的時候來處理。
答案及解析
56.D【解析】第二段舉了一個Peter早上不起床的小例子，文章后面做出了解釋“The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature—and-energy peak in the evening.”
57.A【解析】第二段的后一句解釋了這個問題。
58.C【解析】第三段的“If your energy is low in the morning，but you have an important job to do early in the day，rise before your usual hour.”說明了這一點。
59.A【解析】見后一段的第一行。，
60.B【解析】文章開頭提到克萊特曼博士有一種新的解釋，證明每個人都有一個每日的能量周期，但是后文也提到了沒人能解釋這種現(xiàn)象。

下面幾段文字談?wù)摿藲夂虻淖冞w情況及各自對比的觀點。詹尼弗：
溫室效應(yīng)可能是造成這種變化的原因，但是這是一個追溯到100年前的循環(huán)，并且在過去的20年左右里，這種循環(huán)停止了，這只影響了世界的一小部分，人們談?wù)摐厥倚?yīng)是因為他們想顯示自己有多關(guān)心世界的未來，不要像這些人一樣愚蠢。
凱樂：
春天也來到這里了，這多美啊——打開窗戶，換季的新鮮空氣使我
快樂。在我更小一些的時候，這個季節(jié)里我常常踩著正在融化的冰雪，走過路邊，穿過田間大片大片的樹林，呆在野外我是如此的興奮。一年中的這個季節(jié)呆在城市里是很難受的，或許我應(yīng)該馬上去露營。
索西婭：
在城市里，沒有四季的變換，春雨不會使人工建筑生長，潮濕的路面也不會使你不便，因為你坐在車?yán)镆苿樱臒岵辉偈菃栴}，空調(diào)使你的房間像秋天一樣涼爽。城市的顏色也不會變化，因為自然的力量不足以像改變樹林的顏色那樣來改變城市。冬雪沒有使任何東西變白，留下的只是泥濘的道路。

佐治亞下雪是很有趣的事情，就像上個禮拜，電視上每天有24小時天氣預(yù)報：就因為可能會下雪。因為這些預(yù)告，學(xué)校停課了，到后卻只下了雨。但是如果堅持到底的話，規(guī)則就是取消上課了，這是放假的好借口。人們涌向雜貨店去買牛奶和面包——我不知道為什么，但是他們這樣做了。在我成長的時候，這里每年要下1—2場大雪，但是近幾年卻沒有下過一場。該死的全球變暖!
麥克蘭：
那多漂亮啊，我堅信在2月份我們擁有像秋天11月份那樣涼爽的天氣，從我的孩提時代起，二月份這個溫暖的時期變得一年比一年強，一年比一年長，這個時期終在3月至少的暴風(fēng)雪之中結(jié)束，但是任何一個人都會熬過這些暴風(fēng)雪，因為我們都知道它們只會持續(xù)幾天。

Part B67. 范文From the graph, we can see that there were two peaks of accidents in
2007. One was in March with the number of 35. The other was in August withthe number of 42, which was the highest point of the distribution line. FromAugust on, the number of car accidents had been decreasing till it reached thelowest point of the year in December.
There were several possible reasons for the distribution of car accidents.First, weather might have played an important role. Two peaks occurred inspring and summer, the two seasons which had most of the year's rain. Drivingtends to be more dangerous in rainy days. Second, people might have beenalerted by the high number of accidents in March and Au-gust, hence less andless accidents in later months.
