雅思入学测试题—中级

阅读：Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesnt smoke. Theres a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouses death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”1. William Farrs study and other studies show that _. A social life provides an effective cure for illness B being sociable helps improve ones quality of life C women benefit more than men from marriageD marriage contributes a great deal to longevity2. Linda Waites studies support the idea that _. A older men should quit smoking to stay healthyB marriage can help make up for ill healthC the married are happier than the unmarriedD unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life3. It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side” (Line 4, Para. 2) refers to _. A the disadvantages of being marriedB the emotional problems arising from marriageC the responsibility of taking care of ones familyD the consequence of a broken marriage4. What does the author say about social networks? A They have effects similar to those of a marriage.B They help develop peoples community spirit.C They provide timely support for those in need.D They help relieve people of their lifes burdens. 5. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A Its important that we develop a social network when young.B To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.C Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.D We should share our social networks with each other.正确答案学生答案题干分析题目讲解1.D题干意识为：William Farr 的研究和一些其他的研究表明。A选项意为：社会生活提供了有效的致病良方，文中说到可能会延年益寿。B选项表：喜社交会帮助提高生活的质量，原文则并未提及。C选项说女人可以在婚姻中比男人活得更多的益处。D选项说可以很大程度上提高人的寿命，符合愿意，为正确答案。根据题目中的关键词Willian Farr找到对应的出题段落文章第一段。根据文章第一段中the biggest longevity(长寿) boost seems to come from marriage直接可以得知D项正确。A项“交际活动能有效治疗疾病”和B项“好交际能提高一个人的生活质量”在文中找不到依据，文章的重点是讲述交际活动（主要是夫妻间）对于寿命的积极作用；由文中marriage could add as much as seven years to a mans life and two to a womans可知C项错误。2.BLinda Waite 小姐的研究支持如下哪个观点：A年长者应戒烟来保持健康。B婚姻有助于人的身体健康。 C选项说结婚者比未结婚者生活的更快乐。D选项说未婚者在晚年更容易遭受痛苦。由关键词Linda Waite锁定本题的出题源应该在第二段。由第二段中的两个例子：一是患有心脏疾病的已婚老人要比没有相关疾病的未婚老人寿命长约4年；二是一个每天要抽一包多香烟的已婚老人和一个从不吸烟的离过婚的老人寿命几乎一样长。可以推断出B项“婚姻有助于人的身体健康。”A项“为了身体健康老人应戒烟”并不是Linda Waite的研究发现；C、D两项在文中找不到依据。3.A从文中可以推断出”flip side” ( 第二段，第四行)所指的意思是：A表示结婚的不利方面，符合题意，为正确答案。B选项指因婚姻而产生的情感问题C选项表照看家庭的责任感。D选项表离婚所产生的负面影响。由问题中的关键词flip side找到此题的出题源文章第二段。flip side的字面意思是“反面，对立面”，第二段短语flip side前面讲了两个例子来说明婚姻对老年人身体健康的积极意义（见63题解析），后面用however一转，又给了两个研究发现：一、夫妻双方当其中一个去世了，另一个在随后的几年内很可能生病或是离世；二、一人在照顾其换有精神错乱疾病的配偶时可能后来也患有相同的疾病。这两个发现显然都是夫妻生活的负面影响，因此选择A项。4.A作者是如何评价社交网络的？A它们和婚姻有着相似的功效。B. 他们帮助发展了社区精神。C. 社交网络为那些需要帮助的人提供及时的支持。D表帮助减轻人们生活的负担。由问题中的关键词social networks找到出题源文章第二段最后一句。由all kinds of social networks have similar effects可推断选择A项。很显然这里的similar effects指的是marriages effects。文章的第三段提到了社交网络对一个人的种种益处，但并未谈及B、C、D三项所陈述的内容。5.BA在年少的时候发展社交网络是很重要的。B为保持健康，每个人都应该有合适的社交网络。C 离婚意冒着减少寿命的风险。D 我们应与每个人分享我们的社交网络。题目问的是“由最后一段能推断出什么？”最后一段主要讲的是“要想寿命长就要建立社交网络”。有意思的是Christakis的这句话People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.（人类是相互联系的群体，他们的健康也是如此） 仔细品味它的弦外之音，假如你的朋友个个身体欠佳，那么你身体也不会好到哪里去。由此可推断出本题选B项。听力：SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL BOOKING FORMNAME: George ONeillADDRESS: 3 _,WestseaPOSTCODE: 4 _TELEPHONE: 5 _DateEventPrice per ticketNo.of tickets5 JuneInstrumental group-Guitarrini7.50 17 JuneSinger(price includes6_in the garden)6222 June（Anna Ventura)7.00123 JuneSpanish Dance & Guitar Concert8_9_NB Children/Students/Senior Citizens have_discount on all tickets.听力答案：正确答案学生答案题目讲解1/C题干的意思为：在图书馆的大厅George看到了什么？文章前后有分别提到music和instruments 作为干扰选项，而真正的选项是George看到了一个录像，即答案为C。2/B原文提到如果有机会坐在前面，则会有非常好的视野，则为A选项。C选项同样错误，原文提到所有票价都一样的。B选项符合听力原文要求。3/48 North Avenue当听到ADRESS这个单词后迅速定位，注意North Avenue为专有名词，应首字母大写。4/ WS6 2YH考查原则：问题后面接答案。当提及邮编（postcode）后迅速集中注意力。考生应了解英国的邮编一般是由数字和字母共同组成的，且字母须大写。5/01674 考查原则：问题后面接答案。本题考查的是电话号码中数字的填写。考生填写数字时应尽快反应，数字的填写速度要求最低不能延迟两位数，否则很容易拉掉。6/drinks注意关键点的同义词替换原则，题干中的price 被听力原文的6英镑所替换。7/pianist/piano player本题考查的是前后倒置原则，即题干给出单词（或短语）的顺序和和听力原文正好相反，比如录音中先提到的是pianist(即本题正确答案)，再提到的是日期（22 June）8/10.50注意听力题目说的是Price per ticket,而原文在给出答案时说的是a ticket,应注意考试中的同义词替换原则。9/4答案为所听即所得型。10/50%注意同义词have被录音中的get a 替换掉，即同义词替换。写作句子翻译，汉译英1.棉花产量增长了20%.2.第一季度化肥总产值比1975年同期增长了18%.3.我的观点是年轻人应该被鼓励去开阔他们的眼界口语1.Where are you from?2. what do you like to do in your spare time? Why?3. Between subway, bus, taxi, which way of transportation do you prefer? Why写作，答案讲解。正确答案学生答案错题解析课程顾问讲解1. The output of cotton went up by 20%.重点词，output产量，cotton棉花，都是基本词汇，必须掌握。 时态，一定是过去时，went up, 提高了多少一定要by. 写作作文两篇，60分钟。第一篇图表题，对于数字上升，下降的表达一定要掌握。审题，时态和数字是写作过程中的关键。2.The output value of chemical fertilizer in the first quarter was 18% above that of the same period in 1975.产值，是 output value, 产出的价值。 不是output 也不可以只是value. 翻译要准确。 That of,指代，the output value of the last year. 要懂得会使用代词，减少居中重复词汇与累赘。in the first quarter 第一季度， same period同期。 都是基本的表达词汇，quarter,就是四分之一的意思。 平时说时间，a quarter past 8,就是八点过15分钟，八点一刻的意思。 同样，the first quarter就是第一个四分之一年，第一季度。想写作的话，不光英文要好，中文也要理解其含义。 经常学生连中文，第一季度，都不知道是多少。那样很难进行图表写作了就。3.My view is that young people should be encouraged to broaden their horizons.我的观点是，my view,或者my viewpoint is. 如果用I think,太口语话，而且think这个词太大众，无法得高分的。 Encourage,鼓励。 如果用asked to do是不准确的。Asked to do是被命令做某事，让某人做某事。 Broaden ones horizon.这个固定词组，开阔眼界。Broaden，horizon都容易拼写错。作文的第二题，议论文的题。观点一定要明确，经常写作时候，用这样的句子开头。在中译英的时候，一定要头脑里清楚，三件事。 句型，用词，时态。 三者缺一不可。越熟练，这三个过程用的时间就越短。 需要平时不断去练习写作。在老师的指导下。句子翻译，汉译英1. 棉花产量增长了20%.The output of cotton went up by 20%.2. 第一季度化肥总产值比1975年同期增长了18%.The output value of chemical fertilizer in the first quarter was 18% above that of the same period in 1975.3. 我的观点是年轻人应该被鼓励去开阔他们的眼界My view is that young people should be encouraged to broaden their horizons.口语答案：口语1 Where are you from?Im from a small city, called Yuncheng which is in Liaoning province.2. what do you like to do in your spare time?
