5.Theaveragenumberofhoursofsleepthatanadultneedsis.

[A]approximatelysixhours[B]aroundtenhours[C]abouteighthours[D]notstatedhere

标准答案：

1：A文章的第一段谈到睡眠能使身体健康，第二段、第三段谈到睡眠的几种状态，最后一段谈到很快入睡

的几种方法。因此整篇文章都围绕睡眠而谈，因此A为正确答案。

2:Ddrowsy:瞌睡的，想睡的。因为上一句的意思是：“如果你睡觉有困难的话，有人建议慢慢的深深

呼吸。”紧接着作者说：“另外一些人认为喝热牛奶能使你…，根据上下文应该选“瞌睡的”，因此只有D最

符合题意。sick:有病的；standup:起立。asleep:睡着的。

3：B答案在文章的第一段第二句话：“Sleepisnecessaryforgoodhealth.”意思是：“睡眠有利于身体健康。”

因此本句的意思是睡眠不足有害健康。只有B最符合题意。

4：D答案在第三段第二句话："Scientistswhostudysleepstatethatwhendreamingoccursyoureyeballsbeginto

movemorequickly."意思是："研究睡眠的科学家指出一个人做梦的时候眼球移动速度加快。”因此正确答案为

Do

5：D文章中没有谈到成年人的平均睡眠时间。

答案详解

l.c除了男女合校，其他形式的教育简直难以想象。答案见第一段“设想请你在一个只有你一样性别的

人存在的社会生活12年光景，你会如何反应呢？除非你本人确实有毛病，否则，你至少不会太高兴。因此，世

界上有那么多的父母愿意把这种不正常的环境（他们自己一分钟都受不了的环境）强加给他们的孩子们，这太令

人惊讶！”第二段讲“教育的目的之一就是为未来的公民在成人社会中找一席之地，准备好需要的一切。而社会

由男女组成，那分校又怎能准备？”后两段讲合校之优点，分校之缺点，具体对比突出主题。这都说明C最合

适。A.只有合校才能和社会相协调。D.合校有许多特点。这两项文章内容涉及到，但作为最佳标题则不确切。

B.人们非常需要合校。文内没有直接谈到。

2.B一个真实社会的缩影。这在第三段第一句"男女合校确实能给孩子们提供一个社会真实的缩

影。”下面的内容都是围绕这个主题而写的具体情况。如：生活在一起，彼此了解，对比等。A.社会。C.

一种真实的生活。D.真实的社会情况。都没有B项那样确切。

3.C为未来公民在社会上拥有一席之地，准备好所需要的一切。这在第二段“这个话题的讨论必然会

引出教育目的的问题。把各种知识塞进孩子头脑远不是教育主要的目的，教育的主要目的之一是为未来公民在成

人社会求得一席之地，准备好所需一切。”A.学生学到只是。B.以科技武装未来公民。C.为学生缺德学术成就。

都只是知识学习的一个部分。

4.B几年学校共同生活打消了幻想。答案在第四段中，"在学校中，几年生活在一起消除这一类的幻想。

没有什么脸上有雀斑，梳着鞭子，涂着指甲，尖的噪音的女神，也没有膝部有疙瘩，指甲脏兮兮，头发乱蓬蓬的

浪漫英雄。棘手的青春期明显呈现出来的成长过程中身体上和感情上的问题，在男女合校环境中得到很好的解

决。”

A.他们生活在一起，彼此太了解。此答案太过，不是太了解而不产生幻想，而是了解情况；真人就在眼前，人

就实际了，消除了幻想。C.合校鼓励他们对生活有一种健康积极的态度。这是合校的大方向，不是消除幻想的

根本原因。D.他们熟悉彼此的问题。不全是消除幻想之因，而是处理问题的前奏。这在最后一段最后两句话有

说明“当学生离校的时刻来到时，他们已是很有适应性的成人，为进入社会做好了充分准备。他们已有几年处理

面临男女的许多问题的经验。”

本文讲述了科技带来的负面影响。第1段指出网络、电子商务和全球化使新的经济时代成为可能；

第2段作者通过调查.指出新科技给人们的生活带来的负面影响；第3-6段分析科技从哪些方面

影响人们的生活；第7段表明了作者的看法.一味追求高效率的科技也许会使人们丧失比时间更宝

贵的东西。

1.[C]细节判断题。根据corporateexecutives定位到第2段。从每个人的回答“没有，正好相反”可推断C正确；

公司经理们的回答和接下来讲到的时间更长，压力更大，更不耐烦等等可知他们要强调的是科技给他们带来的

负面影响，故A、B、D都可排除。

2.细节判断题。从第3段可知A中的free是文中liberate的同义替换，故A不选；第3段说到网络生活开始

奴役我们。但并不是说网络一代变成了技术的奴隶，故B错误，为正确答案；从Instead可推知，技术专家们向

人们保证"使生活变得更方便，节省更多的时间”的诺言没有实现，相反科技的进步占用了人们更多的时间，C、

D的说法是正确的。

3.[C]细节判断题。根据resource定位到第4段第2句。第2句明确指出，各种业务占据了我们的闲暇时光，时

问反倒成了最稀少的资源，故选C。

4.[D]细节推断题。第6段最后一个疑问旬”是不是这种高速文化使大家失去了耐心，不愿意倾听、服从，不愿

意深思熟虑?”由此可知D正确。该段第1句指明社会保守派将人们变得没有礼貌归咎于道德规范和宗教价值的

沦丧.故A错误；B项是社会保守派的观点，故排除；C"高速文化导致了文明的沦丧”这与该段最后一句是

有出入的，故C也可排除。

5.[B]主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了新的科技革命本着为人类节约时间、节约能量的宗旨，但事实上却给人们

带来了很多的负面影响，使人们更加忙碌不堪。A”新的网络生活“太过笼统；C”科技复兴的失败”，不符合

文意；D”生活质量的下降”这只是第2段公司经理们的观点，过于片面，故选B。

本文围绕时尚这一话题展开论述。首段几个反问句表明作者对时装杂志上的模特儿及他们的发式和服饰持否定的

态度：第2-4段叙述了时尚给人们的穿着、生活所带来的影响；第5-7段表明时尚起因有其逻辑性，通过对以

往时尚的研究，科学家和历史学家揭示了时尚的奥秘；最后两段讲述了时尚所带来的积极影响。

1.[C]观点态度题。根据第1段的incredibly,impossible,unreasonably,impracticably等词，可以看出作者对时装杂

志上的模特儿及他们的发式和服饰持不认可的态度。

2.[A]细节判断题。第1段最后两个问句表明了作者认为衣服应该是comfortablydurable,而不应该一味追求new

或者flesh,A正确。

3.[B]推理判断题。本题考查复合句的理解。第2段首句提到“时尚一年一年地变化，因此很多人可以赚大把的

钱”，后面再具体说明商人是如何通过时尚赚钱的。第2句表明，时尚业能使人们觉得需要某种东西，也就是

选项B所说的。选项A在文中并无提及，选项C和D的陈述与本段的倒数第2句不符。

4.[C]推理判断题。第5段第2句中的logical表明作者认为科学家和历史学家的研究结果是可信的，有道理的，

因此C为正确选项。虽然下面所举的两个例子看起来很有趣，但是作者重点不是为了说明这些研究结果的有趣

程度，而是为了说明时尚的起因都是符合逻辑的。

5.[B]细节判断题。选项A和C分别在倒数第2段第3.4句提到，选项D在最后一段提到。只有选项B在文中

没有提及。

researchersinChina,whereitwassubsequendybanned（butonlythismonth,longafterZhuang'spatientbecamepregnant）.

主体句式：,,,concernoverpotentialrisksiswhy

结构分析："aprocess”在句子中的语法成分是同位语；后面又跟了一个“that”引导的定语从句；在从句中

又使用了飞。…that”句式；在从句中又使用了“where”引导的从句。

句子译文：尽管如此，由于担心潜在的危险，美国食品药物管理局2001年就类似研究制定了较为严格的批

准程序——这是一套令葛瑞佛觉得太过于烦琐而终止了这一技术的研究工作，并将其转给了中国研究人员的程

序。这项研究工作后来在中国也被禁止（在本月才刚被禁止，这是发生在庄的病人怀孕后很久以后的事了）。

题目分析

1.答案为C,属推理判断题。做好本题的关键是对dependingonwhomyouask"的理解。对于不同的人来说，

他们对实验的反应也不相同。

2.答案为A,属推理判断题。原文对应信息“criticshavesuggestedthatcloningandnucleartransferareequallyrisky

forhumans”。文中提到的“多莉”羊和一名中国孕妇分别是为了进一步具体说明克隆和细胞核移植技术及其存

在的一些危险。

3.答案为B,属情感态度题。原文对应信息是"...anassertionZhuangrejectsw,"reject”这个词比较

正式，也表达较强的感情色彩。

4.答案为D,属事实细节题。原文对应信息是"Theonlysignificantdifferenceisthatwithcloning,theinserted

nucleuscomesfromasingle,usuallyadult,cell,andtheresultingoffspringisgeneticallyidenticaltotheparent/1

5.答案为C,属中心思想题。有关克隆技术的研究，从研究角度来说无可厚非，但是从伦理学角度来说争议

不小。
