supported him in the ambulance Our teacher insisted on giving him some money Is he a suspect H1N1 patient Who can tell But we didn t retreat When the savage H1N1 was spreading people showed fearless spirit regardless of dangers to their own health This kind of care between persons is the very kind giving unselfish and priceless devotion or sacrifice And it is just because of this care that we can have warm families a happy life and a beautiful world 说明文举例 说明文举例 It is widely accepted that China is a country faced with severe water shortages Insufficient water resources have slowed agricultural development And to make matters worse some of the traditional Chinese irrigation methods have wasted an astonishing amount of water In China today the utilization efficiency of farming water is about 30 to 40 per cent This figure stands in sharp contrast to developed country s utilization average of 70 80 per cent The low utilization efficiency has resulted from the adoption of some traditional Chinese irrigation methods Only by using modern irrigation methods can we reduce water shortage in agriculture One of the advantages of modern irrigation methods is that they alone can save 20 30 per cent of the present volume of wasted irrigation water 议论文举例 In a study of reading habits of Leeville citizens conducted by the University of Leeville most respondents said they preferred literary

takes years for the US Food and Drug Administration FDA to approve a drug for general use But as FDA Commissioner Frank Young put it the epidemic of AIDS is extraordinary and it must be met with extraordinary measures Last week the FDA announced that it would allow wide distribution of a promising new drug that blocks the AIDS virus from multiplying at the same time that trials are being conducted to see whether the drug actually works Dideoxyinosine ddI will be given experimentally to 2 600 people with AIDS or AIDS related complex ARC in formal clinical trials and it will be provided free of charge to the thousands of patients who are unable to tolerate AZT the only FDA approved anti AIDS drug AIDS activists hailed the agency s decision saying that it will get the drug to patients who might otherwise die before trials are completed This is a good start one that we ve been working toward for a very long time said Mark Harrington of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power So far in early tests with only a few patients ddI appears to be as effective as AZT but with fewer side effects For some the drug causes painful nerve damage in the feet and less often swelling in the pancreas the symptoms disappear when the patient stops taking the drug There could be other unknown side effects as well But how powerful ddI will ultimately prove to be against the AIDS virus can only be determined through the upcoming larger trial U S Health officials warned AIDS sufferers not to overinterpret the FDA s move as an endorsement of ddI We don t know whether ddI is the same better or worse than AZT and it would be foolish for people to conclude we know the answer before we ve done the studies said Dr Samuel Broder director of the National Cancer Institute and a co developer of ddI Others worry that the decision might make difficult in the future to recruit volunteers for clinical testing of ddI since subjects of formal tests risk receiving a placebo Those questions will of course be resolved in time a commodity that people with AIDS don t have 1 ddI is A a new anti AIDS drug that is better than AZT B a new drug that may prove to be effective in treating AIDS C the only FDA approved anti AIDS drug D one of the two anti AIDS drugs approved by the FDA 2 The recent move by the FDA is extraordinary in that A it allows wide distribution of a new drug before it is actually proved effective B it provides ddI free of charge to all AIDS patients C it has approved a new drug without doing the necessary studies D it has approved a new drug without considering its side effects 报名地址 河北师大东区客房 413 室 电话 0311 86693979 3 3 The FDA s decision is welcomed by AIDS activists because A ddI has no unknown side effects B ddI has fewer side effects than AZT C patients who might die without ddI now have access to the drug D it will no longer take long for the FDA to approve new drugs 4 The word commodity in this context means A goods B drug C placebo D time 5 This passage is intended to A advertise a new drug B welcome the quick action of the FDA C report a piece of medical news D make a comparison between two anti AIDS drugs Text B For years kids have relied on video games to relieve boredom and sometimes to experience vicariously of course the thrill of high speed travel Yet because the game machines are designed primarily to entertain they do not recreate the physical and psychological sensations that come with real motion Now comes a machine that does An English company Super X Ltd Of Bournemouth has invented a recreational simulator 模拟装置 that it claims is unmatched when it comes to duplicating the sights sounds and thrills associated with adventurous activities The simulator called Prokon is a 16 foot long and 6 foot wide capsule that holds up to 14 people The passengers sit inside the machine and watch a fast paced three to five minute movie on a large screen The film simulates any one of 20 breathtaking experiences among them riding in a race car helicopter or spaceship skiing or white water rafting High quality speakers broadcast sounds that accompany the activity engine noise for example while a multiaxis hydraulic system controlled by a computer moves the capsule in synchronization 同步 with film creating a sense of rolling pitching braking and accelerating We can also provide the smell of burning tires and a blast of air in the face says Andy Roberts sales manager for Super X The Prokon simulator which costs 140 000 can be used indoors or outside It was designed mainly for theme parks a rapidly expanding market in Britain and shopping centers Eighteen units have been sold already in the United Kingdom and abroad The British government selected the machine to serve as the centerpiece for the British Pavilion at the recently concluded Brisbane Australia World Expo A simulated ride will never substitute for real travel but for those who want what Roberts calls the thrill of adventure without the risk it is probably the next best thing 报名地址 河北师大东区客房 413 室 电话 0311 86693979 4 6 The advantage of Prokon over video games is that A Prokon can re create the physical and psychological sensations that come with real motion B

was the chief attraction of the British Pavilion at the World Expo B Eighteen units of Prokon have already been sold in Britain C Prokon will never substitute for real travel D Prokon provides excitement almost as real as that of real travel 9 The passage is most likely to be A a piece of science fiction B a piece of academic writing C a piece of technical instruction D a news report 10 The best title of the passage might be A Thrill of Adventure B Prokon Better Than Real Travel C Simulated Trip Real Fun D A New Game Machine Text C Another movement that originated apart from psychology but has had a profound influence on psychological thinking is the school of psychoanalysis which was founded around the turn of the century by Sigmund Freud Freud began his career in Vienna in the 1880 s as a physician and neurologist 神经病学家 He became interested in psychological processes as the result of his experiences with patients who were suffering from hsyteria that is from paralysis of the legs or arms that seemed to have no physical cause His final theories represent a lifetime of observing and treating many kinds of neurotic patients and also of attempting to analyze his own personality Freud himself was rather neurotic in his youth suffering from feelings of anxiety and deep depression He retained some neurotic symptoms all his life he was a compulsive smoker of as many as twenty cigars a day was nervous about traveling 报名地址 河北师大东区客房 413 室 电话 0311 86693979 5 and was given to what were probably false complaints about poor digestion constipation and heart palpitation However he managed to overcome his early inclination toward depression and lived a rich professional family and social life an indication that in his case the physician had managed to heal himself at least in large part One of Freud s great insights into the human personality was the discovery of how it is influenced by unconscious processes especially motives of which we are unaware At first his ideas were bitterly attacked many people were repelled by his notion that man far from being a rational animal is largely at the mercy of his irrational unconscious thoughts Many were shocked by his emphasis on the role of sexual motives and particularly by his insistence that even young children have intense sexual desires Over the years however the furor 狂怒 has died out There is considerable controversy over the value of psychoanalytical methods in treating neurotic patients but even those who criticize psychoanalysis as a form of therapy accept some of Freud s basic notions about personality and its formation 11 Psychoanalysis was founded by Sigmund Freud A at the beginning of this century B in the last century C in the 1880 s D one hundred years ago 12 According to the passage psychoanalysis A originated from psychology B is part of psychology C originated independently of psychology D was deeply influenced by psychology 13 Which of the following is Not true A Sigmund Freud suffered from feelings of anxiety and depression B Sigmund Freud suffered from indigestion constipation and heart palpitation C Sigmund Freud was nervous about traveling D Sigmund Freud was rather neurotic in his youth 14 According to Sigmund Freud A man is a rational animal B man is powerless against his subconscious motives C man tends to deny his sexual motives D man can cure every disease by psychoanalysis 15 Freud s psychoanalysis A won immediate acceptance by the general public B is no longer popular in medical circles C is still creating furor because of its emphasis on the role of sexual motives D is still controversial as to its value in treating neurotic patients 报名地址 河北师大东区客房 413 室 电话 0311 86693979 6 Text D After the great masters themselves perhaps nothing in the musical world is as celebrated as the great violins A great violin is a rarity hard to find and harder to afford The exact origin of the violin is obscure It was probably created in the early 1500s when the new polyphonic music demanded a stronger string sound than that of say the medieval vielle a bowed string instrument A century or so later in Cremona Italy came the legendary era of fiddle making which for reasons that remain utterly mysterious has never been equaled since Nicolo Amati 1596 1684 produced elegant small voiced violins Antonio Stradivari about 1644 1737 who is reckoned the greatest violin maker of all time enhanced the sweet velvety pure Amati tone by adding greater carrying power A painstaking craftsman he created and astonishing 1 100 instruments of which some 550 survive in a career that spanned seven decades Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesu 1698 1744 was far less fastidious he cared little for the exterior of his violins and sold them relatively cheaply But their sound is extraordinary they have dark sensuous voices that carry easily even over huge modern orchestras Twenty years ago a decent Strad could be had for 20 000 Today the figure approaches 100 000 The best Strads now cost a staggering 250 000 to 400 000 The 150 or so extant Guarneris are comparably priced Even middle range violins are now appreciating in value by about 25 per cent a year The skyrocketing prices are caused by soaring demand Now that the Far East has emerged as a new source of string players the market is even harder pressed At most about twenty Strads and Guarneris change hands each year the purchasers are almost all either professional or amateur musicians there is only a handful of collectors The auctioning of a famous violin usually causes great excitement in the musical world Although the business of stealing rare violins continues unfortunately that of forging them does not The last fakes were made in the 19th century All too often the label says Antonius Stradivarius but the small print underneath identifies it as made in Germany Far more unusual is the case of the Los Angeles man who thought that he had been done after paying 6 000 for a violin but it turned out to be a Strad 16 The best violins are those made in A the early 1500s B the present century with completely new techniques C Italy in the 17th and 18th centuries D in Germany in the 19th century 17 Which of the following statements is NOT true A A Guarneri may not look as nice as a Strad B A Guarneri is as costly now as a Strad C The best Strads or Guarneris cost 250 000 to 400 000 dollars each 报名地址 河北师大东区客房 413 室 电话 0311 86693979 7 D There are now many forgers of Strads and Guarneris 18 The price of best violins is going up fast because A the demand for them is increasing quickly B no one has yet learned to make violins that are comparable in quality to a Strad or a Guarneri C few owners are willing to part with their rare possessions D all of the above 19 Which of the following statements is true A Few people attempt to steal rare violins B Only the best violins are rising in value C No one has yet learned the secret of how a Strad or a Guarneri was made D A real Strad is sought after only by musicians 20 The Los Angeles man s experience was unusual in that A he paid far less than the usual price for a real Strad B he bought one of the last fakes made in the 19th century C he had been overcharged outrageously D he bought a violin with a label that says Antonius Stradivarius but the small print underneath says made in Germany

which are advertised as liberating the modern woman tend to have the opposite effect because they simply change the nature of work instead of eliminating it Machines have a certain novelty value like toys for adults It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine but the time saved does not really amount to much the machine has to be watched the clothes have to be carefully sorted out first stains removed by hand buttons pushed and water changed clothes taken out aired and ironed It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive since no capital investment is required Similarly if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer you buy one in a shop If one compares the image of the woman in the women s magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals one realizes how useful a projected image cab be commercially A careful balance has to be struck if you show a labor saving 报名地址 河北师大东区客房 413

usefulness emphasizing the creative aspect of her function as a housewife So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself to produce that lovely home baked flavor the family love and knitting patterns that can be made by hand or worse still on knitting machines which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park not by professional women presetting the dinner before leaving home for work 66 According to the passage many of the home electric goods which are supposed to liberate women A remove unpleasant aspects of housework B Save the housewife very little time C Save the housewife s time but not her money D Have absolutely no value for the housewife 67 According to the context capital investment refers to money A spent on a washing machine B borrowed from the bank C saved in the bank D lent to other people 68 The goods advertised in women s magazines are really meant to A free housewives from housework B Encourage housewives to go out to work C Turn housewives into excellent cooks D Give them a false sense of fulfillment Text B The standard of living of any country means the average persons share of the goods and services which the country produces A country s standard of living therefore depends
