card was a revolutionary idea. today, a small plastic card lets people charge purchases in millions of places. the sellers get paid through an electronic system of banks. the buyers get a monthly statement to pay off. they can buy now and pay later. the credit card industry is changing all the time. on june 30th, bank of america announced it would buy mbna, the nations biggest independent provider of credit cards. bank of america will have 20 percent of the credit card market in the united states. the deal was valued at about 35 thousand million dollars. bank of america is the second-biggest bank in the country after citigroup. bank of america will cut six thousand jobs to reduce costs. mbna had negotiated with another bank, wachovia. in fact, on june 17th, a helicopter carrying top mbna officials from secret talks in new york crashed in the east river. all survived, but not hopes for a deal. wachovia lost interest. the first widely used credit cards did not use the bank system most commonly used today. diners club started in 1980. american express issued its first charge card in 1958. that same year, bank of america offered bankamericards to sixty thousand people in fresno, california. bankamericard grew into the huge system known today as visa. most american families have at least one credit card. the federal reserve, the central bank, says americans have more than 700 thousand million dollars in credit card debt. they pay an average interest rate per year of about twelve to fourteen percent. . some card users pay all their charges each month, so they do not owe interest. others make only the small payment required. if they owe thousands of dollars, the debt can take years to pay off. and that is not the only danger. information security and identity theft are major issues these days. recently there have been several incidents in which many people had financial information either lost or stolen. someone stole records from the computers of cardsystems solutions, a payment processing company. that incident put forty million visa, mastercard and other card numbers at risk of misuse.16.today, a small metal card lets people pay what they buy in millions of placesa.rightb.wrongc.not mentioned正确答案:b解析:该题说的是：如今，一种小的金属卡可以让人们在很多地方支付购买的商品。根据第一段第二句可知，这是一种塑料卡17.according to the passage, citigroup is the biggest bank in usa.rightb.wrongc.not

mentioned正确答案:b解析:该题说的是：mbna官员和wachovia官员进行秘密会谈后，达成协议。根据第五段可知，最后双方未达成协议19.visa developed from bankamericarda.rightb.wrongc.not mentioned正确答案:a解析:该题说的是：visa 前身是bankamericard。根据第七段第二句可知，本句话表述正确20.american school students are allowed to have credit cardsa.rightb.wrongc.not mentioned正确答案:c解析:该题说的是：在美国学生也允许有信用卡。文中未提及21.the federal reserve says with the credit

the credit card include debt, information security and identity thefta.rightb.wrongc.not mentioned正确答案:a解析:该题说的是：如今使用信用卡的危险包括信用卡债务，信息安全以及持卡人信息被盗用。根据文章后三段内容可知，本句话表述正确三、概括大意与完成句子noise of machines 1 as more people live closer together, and as they use machines to produce leisure, they find that their leisure, and even their working hours, becomes spoiled by a by-product of their machinesnamely, noise. noise is nowadays in the news; it has acquired political status, and public opinion is demanding, more and more insistently that something be done about it.2 to control noise is to demand much self-discipline (annoyance arises often from lack of common courtesy), a sense of proportion (there is usually a conflict of interest if a noise is to be stopped), the expenditure of money (and it is far more economical to do this early rather than late), and finally, technical knowledge.3 technical difficulties often arise from the subjective-objective nature of the problem. you can define the excessive speed of a motor car in terms of a pointer reading on a speedometer. but can you define excessive noise in the same way? you find that with any existing simple “noise meter”, vehicles, which are judged to be equally noisy, may show considerable difference on the meter.4 though the ideal cure for noise is to stop it at its source, this may in many cases be impossible. the next remedy is to absorb it on its way to the ear.5 domestic noises may perhaps be controlled by forethought(先见) and courtesy, and industrial noises by good planning and technical improvement. but if we are going to allow fast motorcycles and heavy lorries to pass continuously through residential and business districts, the community must decide on the control it needs to exercise, for in the long run it has got to pay for it. and if a nation is to take part in modern air transport, it must enter into international agreements on the noise control measures it will impose on its airportsand here the cost of any real control is to be measured in millions of dollars.23paragraph 1 24paragraph 2 25paragraph 3 26paragraph 4 a.introduction of a by-product of machinesb. what is needed to control noisec. how to control domestic noisesd. difficulties of defining excessive noisee. introduction of two ways to control noisef. international agreements on the noise control measures正确答案:abde解析:23.第一主要引出文章主题，机器产生的噪音。24.第二段主要讲的是控制噪音需要很大的自律性，需要做好协调工作，需要投入金钱，需要技术知识。25.第三段第一句话是主题句，意思是噪音问题的产生有主客观原因，这带来很多技术难题。26.第四段介绍两种消除噪音的方法。意思是虽然解决噪音问题最理想的办法是从源头制止，但很多情况下这是不可能的，因此另一个解决办法是如何在噪音进入耳朵前消音。27people who use machines to produce leisure find that their leisure, and even their working hours, by noise.28 often arise from the nature of the noise problem.29industrial noises may be controlled by 30if a nation is to participate in modern air transport, it must sign on the noise control measuresa.good plans and improvement in technologyb. becomes encouragedc. becomes destroyedd. forethought and courtesye. international agreementsf. technical difficulties正确答案:cfae解析:27.问题问的是：用机器消遣的人会发现他们的消遣以及工作时间都会被噪音怎么样？第一段第一句话提到噪音会破坏他们的消遣以及工作时间。注意spoiled和destroyed的同义改写。28.问题问的是：噪音问题的本质经常会产生什么？第三段第一句话说噪音问题的产生有主客观原因，这带来很多技术难题。29.问题问的是：工业噪音可以怎样控制？第五段第一句话说工业噪音可以通过好的计划和技术改进得以控制。30.问题问的是：如果一个国家想参与现代空中交通运输，该国家必须加入有关噪音控制措施的什么中？答案在最后一段最后一句话中，即该国家必须加入有关噪音控制措施的国际协议中。四、阅读理解 第一篇：protection of whales within about 50 million years, one of the mammals that lives in a marine environment, the whale, has developed into the largest of all animal forms. however, at least for the last 150 years, trouble has closed in on whales from humans. whales have been hunted since about the eleventh century. certain types of whales have been hunted too much. recently, their number has been reduced so greatly that they are in danger of becoming extinct. people are worried about the fact that the number of whales is getting smaller and smaller. they are working to save them. there are reasons why people want to protect the whales. one reason is that whales help to keep a balance between plants and animals. people have been throwing their wastes into the oceans and seas, and these wastes increase the amount of salt in ocean and seawater. the increased salt helps some plants and some very small creatures to grow but these plants and small creatures are harmful to fish. however, whales are eating large numbers of plants and animals that grow in very salty water. in this way, whales are doing a good job as they keep the ocean water clean enough for the fish. in addition, because fish supply necessary food for many people, whales become our good friends which we want to save.some people are now working to save whales by using the law. they hold meetings to ask fishermen to reduce the number of whales which can be killed in a year. they also work within countries to persuade law makers to make whaling against the law and to make the use of whale products against the law too.now this struggle to save whales is going on in many places in the world. some governments will not let people sell whale products in their countries. other governments have changed the law about whaling. many people believe that since the number of whales is regarded as a serious world problem, the remaining whales will be saved.31.from the passage we know that during the last 150 years humans havea.tried to save the scare animalsb.paid more attention to some marine creaturesc.threatened the existence of some marine mammalsd.harvested certain plants from the ocean as food正确答案:c解析:问题问的是：从文章中我们可以得出人们在过去的150年间做了什么？从第一段的however, at least for the last 150 years, trouble has closed in on whales from humans.以及第二段可知是人类给这些哺乳动物造成威胁32.what will happen to certain kinds of whalesa.they will die outb.they will be forced to some other places to live inc.they will kill most of the plants and small creaturesd.they will get extra food from humans正确答案:a解析:问题问的是：某些鲸类将会发生什么事情？见第二段certain types of whales have been hunted too much. recently, their number has been reduced so greatly that they are in danger of becoming extinct.注意extinct和die out的同义表达33.which of the following is not the reason for the protection of the whalesa.whales are the friends of humansb.whales provide enough food for humansc.whale can help the sea water to be cleand.whales can eat a lot of wastes rejected by humans正确答案:d解析:问题问的是：以下哪个选项不是人们保护鲸类的原因？从第三段可以得出a.b.c的说法正确。d选项说的是“鲸类能够吃掉人们排放的垃圾。”原文说的是排放的垃圾会增加海水的咸度34.salt in the oceans usuallya.increases the plants and small creatures that do harm to fishb.decreases the plants and small creatures which are harmful to fishc.provides enough food for the whalesd.gets rid of harmful plants and creatures正确答案:a解析:问题问的是：海水里的盐分通常会怎么样？见第三段的the increased salt helps some plants and some very small creatures to grow but these plants and small creatures are harmful to fish35.which one is not the measure taken by humans to protect whalesa.whales products are banned in some countriesb.wastes are not allowed to be dumped in the seac.whaling is not allowed in some countriesd.fishermen are trying to reduce the amount of whales which are killed正确答案:b解析:问题问的是：以下选项哪一个不是保护鲸类的措施？从倒数两段可以得出保护鲸类的举措。b选项说的是“禁止向海洋倾倒垃圾”在原文并没有提及2. the function of dreams why do we dream? nobody knows exactly, but recent research by scientists is providing some important clues. researcher at the university of chicago, for example, have been studying a kind of songbird called the zebra finch. each of these birds has its own unique song. these songs are very important because they help the birds mark their own territory and attract partners. young zebra finches first copy the songs of other birds, and then they add new parts to make their own songs slightly different. now new evidence has shown that at least one part of this creative process may take place when the birds are dreaming.the scientists at the university of chicago connected electronic wires to the heads of the songbirds so that they could record the birds brain activities. they found that when the birds were awake and singing, their brains showed a particular pattern of activities. the scientists were then surprised to discover that the brains showed a similar pattern when the birds were sleeping. they reached the conclusion that the birds were in fact practicing and developing their songs in their dreams. because the patterns at night were slightly different from the patterns during the day, it is believed that the birds were not just repeating the songs in their dreams but actually changing them. the scientists think that perhaps humans do something similar in their dreams.this idea is supported by other researches. research on rats shows that they have similar patterns of brain activities both when they are asleep and when they are awake. and research on people shows that when people play a certain computer game during the day, they often dream about the same game at night. furthermore, people often get better at the game after a nights sleep. all of this suggests that at least one function of dreams may be to help people organize their thoughts and memories in order to improve skills that have been learned during the day. the day when we at last understand the function of dreams may not be too far away.36.zebra finchesa.use their songs to attract their companionsb.sing songs to find the territory of other birdsc.always sing exactly the same songs as other birdsd.sing songs loudly even when they are sleeping正确答案:a解析:问题问的是：有关zebra finches这类鸟那个选项描述的正确？ 文章第一段第五句话说“这些歌曲很重要因为这些歌曲帮助这类鸟给自己的领地作标记并吸引更多的同伴”。由此判断答案a正确37.what did the scientists at the university of chicago surprised to finda.wires could affects the brains of the sleeping zebra finchesb.the zebra finches showed a particular pattern of behavior while awakec.at night the zebra finches sang exactly the same songs as during the dayd.the zebra finches had similar patterns of brain activities when singing and when asleep正确答案:d解析:问题问的是：使芝加哥大学的科学家感到惊讶的是？第二段第三句话的意思是“科学家惊讶的发现这类鸟睡眠时和清醒唱歌时大脑显现同样特殊的活动模式”。由此判断答案d正确38.why do scientists think that the birds were changing their songs when they were in their dreamsa.because the brains of the birds showed no particular activities at nightb.because the birds never sang their nighttime songs when they were awakec.because the songs patterns of the birds were much more complex at night than in the dayd.because there were small differences from daytime brain activities when the birds were asleep正确答案:d解析:问题问的是：为什么科学家认为zebra finches这类鸟在睡眠时所唱的歌曲与白天的不一样？根据第二段倒数第二句我们可知正确答案是d39.why do people perform better at playing games after a nights sleepa.dreaming sometimes reduces the stress in their brainsb.dreaming helps them organize their thoughts and memoriesc.dreaming allows them to learn completely new skillsd.dreaming produces unusual chemicals in their brains正确答案:b解析:问题问的是：为什么经过一夜睡眠休息后人们在打游戏时表现会更好？第三段第五句提到“至少做梦的用途之一是帮助人们组织思想和记忆以提高白天所学的技能”。由此判断答案b正确40.which of the following statements is truea.it seems possible that creative processes happen when people are dreamingb.it is very unlikely that people will ever discover the true function of dreamsc.dreams are nothing but an exact copy of what happens in peoples daily livesd.the function of dreams in birds and people appears to be completely different正确答案:a解析:问题问的是：下面哪个叙述正确？选项a意为“人们做梦时有创造性活动这种说法是很有可能的”；选项b意为“人们迟早会发现梦的真正作用这种说法是不可能的”；选项c意为“梦只不过是人们白天生活的再现”；选项d意为“梦对于人类和鸟类似乎有完全不同的作用”。根据文章意思选a3. a revolution in office work without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. before that time, large computers were only used by rich companies that could afford the investment. with the advancement of technology, small computers have come into the market which are capable of doing the work which used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.the main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors, or wps as they are often called. 40% of british offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.there are m
