很多在伦敦工作的人喜欢住在伦敦郊外,然后每天乘火车、汽车和公交车去上班或上学。
这也就意味着他们不得不早出晚归。
住在伦敦郊外的一个好处就是房子便宜。在伦敦即使是没有花园的小公寓也需要一笔不
菲的租金,用同样的钱,你可以在郊区买一个带花园的小房子了
然后,他在乡村就可以远离喧嚣和忙碌的工作生活。即使他不得不起得更早,花更多的
时间乘火车或公交车,但他晚上可以睡得更好。在周末和夏季的夜晚,他可以享受乡村清新
干净的空气。要是他喜欢花园,在花园里干一些想挖土、种植、浇水等许多园艺的活,那么
当鲜花和蔬菜生长起来的时候,他就与其他分享大臼然秘密的人们一样得到奖赏。
然而有些人对乡村并不感兴趣。对他们来说,幸福就在市区里,那里有电影院、剧院、
漂亮的商店、繁忙的街道、舞厅和饭店。如果不得不住在伦敦郊外的话,这些人就觉得生活
没意义了。(对于那些热爱都市生活的人来说)他们所需要的乡村生活,就是偶尔去公园散
步,每个夏天去海边过上两个星期,其他跟乡村有关的东西,让那些每天晚上都急于离开伦
敦的人们(住在郊外的人们)去享受吧。
【答案与解析】本文介绍在伦敦工作的人对是在市里居住还是在乡下居住所持的不同看法
和态度。
1.B。推断题。根据文章内容:虽然有很多喜欢乡村生活,但文章最后讲也有些人喜欢城市
生活,从而可推知此题答案为B。
2.C»细节题。根据文章第2段第二、三句可推知此题答案为C。
3.Bo推断题。根据文章第3段最后两句可知:要是他喜欢花园,在花园里挖土、种植、浇
水等等,那么当鲜花和蔬菜生长起来的时候,他就得到了与大自然分享秘密的奖赏,所以选
Bo
4.Ao推断题。根据文章最后一段第2句Suchpeoplewouldfeelthattheirlifewasnotworth
livingiftheyhadtoliveitoutsideLondon可推知此题答窠为A»
5.C,推断题。根据其上文:这些人偶尔去公园散散步后去海边度两周假;本句接着说:其
余的就留给那些每天晚上喜欢离开伦敦的人,那么,“其余的”显然指“其余的乡村”。从而
可推知题答案为C»

就定义而言,英雄之所以与众不同是因为他们有非凡的勇气、取得了卓著的
成就、常常为他人的利益而做出牺牲——他们是我们评价别人的标准。他们是大
家公认的对我们国家意识的形成和我们国家的发展,还有对他们的崇拜者的一生
起了重大作用的人。可是,有人说,我们的时代是很难出现真正英雄的时代,英
雄主义这一概念本身我们就难以理解——它已经成为历史。有些人坚持说,由于
冷战的结束和美国对外的和睦,我们的时代本质上不是一个英勇豪壮的时代。更
进一步地说,总体犯罪率正在降低,经济的发展与增长已经缓解了贫困,医疗科
学也在不断的进步。
给文化偶像下定义就更难了,但是我们看到他们就认识了他们。他们超越
了名流,成为传奇式人物,甚至在某种程度上已是神话式的人物。但究竟是哪些
因素使有些人成为偶像,另一些人仅成了名流呢?这就太难说了。部分原因是他
们的生平带有传奇故事的色彩。比如说,年轻貌美的戴安娜•史宾塞,19岁时
嫁给了王子,放弃了婚姻与王权,却在找到真爱的那一刻死去了。漂亮的长相当
然有用,另外,在媒体的炒作下某种难以描述的、特殊的个人魅力也起作用。然
而悲剧性地过早离开这个世界,却是造成偶像最重要的因素——例如:小马丁•路
德•金、约翰•F•肯尼迪和戴安娜。

参考译文:
害羞是由于在众人面前感觉不自在而引发的。害羞的人容易焦虑,自我意识强,他们过
分在意自己的外表和行为。他们头脑里常有这样不安的想法:我给别人留下了怎样的印象?
别人喜欢我吗?我是否听起来很蠢?我穿的衣服难看吗?
显而易见,这些不适的感觉对人有负面影响。一个人的自我认识体现在他/她的言行举
止上,这些行为影响着他人对此作出反映。总体来说,人们对自身的看法深刻影响到他们生
活的方方面面。
害羞的人往往自信不足,常常被动,易受他人影响。他们需要有相信自己的心态,认识
到自己所做的是正确的。害羞的人对批评意见比较敏感。他们感到自卑意识由此增强。害羞
的人难以取悦。他们会说这样的话:“你说那些是让我高兴,其实我知道我没那么好。”显
然,自我意识是一种良好的品质,过份的自我意识就不好了。
害羞能够消除或至少减轻吗?当然。只要人们坚定耐心地培养自信就可克服害羞。既然
害羞源自缺乏自信,人们应该在看到自己长处的同时认识自己的短处。
每个人都是独特的,有价值的个体,有自己的行为方式。我们对自己了解越多,我们就
越能发挥自己的潜能。不要让害羞妨碍我们享受丰富的人生。
I.一段第一二句话提到“害羞的人很紧张和敏感,他们对于自己的外表和行为过分关心」
所以选B为正确答案。
2.[答案]A。[解析]细节推断题。根据第三段最后一句,可知自我意识是一种好的品质,所
以选A。选项C有干扰性,过度的自我意识是有害的,而不是说自我意识是有害的。
3.[答案]B。[解析]细节推断题。根据第三段第五句。
4.[答案]C。[解析]细节推断题。根据文中最后一句“我们不应该让害羞阻碍我们过丰富的
有价值的生活。”可知正确答案是C。
5.[答案]B。[解析]细节推断题。第五段第二句话提到,“我们越了解自一就越越容易发挥
自己的潜质。”可以推断出我们应该正确了解自己,所以选B。

是什么使一个普通人成为科学家?他有与从不同的学习方法和工具吗?答案是否定的。
不是因为科学家使用的工具,而是因为他使用工具的方法使他成为科学家。你也许认同怎么
用力对一名木匠来说很重要。你也许也认同怎么研究调查,发现信息对每个人来说都很重要。
然而,科学家比这更进一步,他必须确定他对自己的问题得出了一个合理的答案,并且他的
答案通过别人也可以得到证实。他同时把自己得出的许多答案归结为一个系统的关于世界如
何运作的观点。
科学家的知识必须很确切。不能给半错半对或者只有一半机会对的情况留任何空间。他
必须在条件允许的情况下尽可能正确。在一种条件下成功一次的话必须在同样的条件下都能
成功。如果条件不同,科学家在证明过程中观察到的任何变化都必须解释他的条件是如何变
化的。这是关于调查研究在科学研究中十分重要的其中一个理由。爱因斯坦通过数学方法提
出了相对论。他的数学运用的正确性被后人通过调查研究的方法证实该理论是正确的。一个
科学家会用很多工具来测量。测量的结果用来进行数学计算,再进行调查研究的测试。

【答案与解析】这是关于比萨斜塔的一篇杂感。作者由儿时对比萨斜塔的曲解谈起,说到了
自己对人们想要重新修正斜塔的看法。最后作者由此阐发感想:没有什么东西是十全十美的。
人们不应当事事追求完美。如比萨斜塔一样,正因为它的不完美,才吸引了世界上众多人的
目光。
l.Co由作者所叙述的内容,可知该塔之所以被叫做斜塔是因为它是倾斜的。
2.D。这层意思是作者对比萨斜塔的误解,答案在“ButwhenIreadthewordPisa,Iwasthinking
ofpizza”一句中。
3.Co本题属表层理解题。“Thetowerprobablywillnotfalldown,itis600yearsold.”是答案的
出处。
4.B«答案即在“And,ifyouaskme,1likewhatitlookslike.“中。
