Amazon rain forest, normally one of the world's wettest regions, shows the

weather cycle is swinging to one extreme rather than signaling climate change,

local meteorologists said Thursday. Water levels on two major Amazon

tributaries, Madeira and Solimoes, dropped to record--38-year lows

respectively, creating long delays in fiver traffic, the main form. of regional

transport.

Dry weather also fanned huge forest fires, notably in the remote western State

of Acre. But weather forecasters added that elsewhere in continentally sized

Brazil, seasonal spring rains had started in the south and were spreading

northwards through Brazil's major coffee belt and gradually into soybean

areas in the center-west. "The Amazon drought shows extreme climate

variability, not climatic change," said Jose Marengo, researcher at the Weather

Forecasting and Climatic Studies Center, part of the National Institute of

Space Research. Marengo said that normal rains were forecast for the south

Amazon --the States of Acre and Rondonia, southern part of Para State and

northern part of Mato Grosso State.

"Rain is forecast in Acre in the next couple of weeks," he said, adding that the

region is normally dry between June and September and wettest in December

and January. But we are a bit worried that there could be less rain than usual

at the mouth of the Amazon, around Belem, he said, noting that extreme

climatic events were occurring more frequently, "We could be seeing the first

symptoms of changing cycles." Meteorologists discounted a link between

unusually severe hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and drought in the Amazon.

Dry weather in the Amazon is linked to warmer ocean surface temperatures

in the Pacific and to low sunspot activity, said Expedito Rebello, head of

applied meteorology at the government's National Institute of Meteorology in

Brasilia. "It's a phenomenal (不同寻常的) drought and could be linked to a

warmer Pacific and little sunspot activity," Rebello said, noting extremely low

water levels in the Amazon. But he added that the weather cycle would reach

a low next year and then start to moderate. Paulo Etchitchury, director of

private meteorologists Somar, said that the Pacific should start to enter a

cooler period next Brazilian summer and this could result in a weak La Nina

weather pattern. "It won't affect summer rains and it's still very early to talk

about next winter," he said, adding that La Nina doesn't necessarily signal a

cold winter and extra risk of frost damage to Brazil's coffee crop, the world's

biggest.

Brazil was in a transitional period between the dry May/August winter and

rainy spring which started in south Brazil in September, Etchitchury said. He

said that this year weather conditions are in general seasonally normal in

Brazil's main farming areas, except that drought in the Amazon could affect

Mate Grosso, Brazil's main soy state. "Rains in the south are replenishing (补充) a water deficit and providing reserves for summer soy and com harvests,"

he said, adding, "Last September was hot and dry and people were worried

about drought damage to crop flowering."

Passage Two

Even today, many experts say women scientists are often not treated fairly.

The Washington Post newspaper reported a study about the number of

research articles published in medical magazines in which a woman was the

main writer. Women were the main writers only twenty-nine percent of the

time. Nancy Andreasen is a scientist at the University of Iowa. Scientists like

Miss Andreasen often send stories about their research to special professional

publications. Miss Andreasen says her research is published more often when

she signs them as N.C. Andreasen rather than Nancy Andreasen. In that way,

the editors of the publications do not know if the writer is a man or a woman.

Women also receive fewer patents for their inventions. A p

29.听力原文： Is your family interested in buying a dog? A dog can be a

happy addition to your family, but if you choose the wrong kind of dog, the

consequences can cause you a lot of trouble.

Families should sit down and discuss the problems involved before buying a

dog. Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog, the

parents are the ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is

properly cared for. If you don't know much about dogs, it's a good idea to go

to the library or the ASPCA for books about various kinds of dogs, as well as

books about how to train a puppy. You should know that a dog described as

very alive or awake might be tm excited and nervous. When a book describes

a dog as an ideal hunting dog, it probably means that the dog won' t be happy

living in a small apartment. Dog breeds vary in popularity as the years go by.

One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd. This is

because it provides protection as well as companionship. The family should

be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful

for children to handle. If space is limit ed, a toy dog may be a good choice.

These dogs are very small and easy to train. They don't need to be walked

daily, since they can exercise in the space available in the home.

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by

some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four

choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

Sleep is a funny thing. We're taught that we should get seven or eight hours a

night, but a lot of us get by just fine on less, and some of us actually sleep too

much. A study out of the University of Buffalo last month reported that people

who routinely sleep more than eight hours a day and are still tired are nearly

three times as likely to die of stroke — probably as a result of an underlying

disorder that keeps them from snoozing (睡) soundly.

Doctors have their own special sleep problems. Residents (住院医生) are

famously sleep deprived. When I was training to become a neurosurgeon, it

was not unusual to work 40 hours in a row without rest. Most of us took k in

stride, confident we could still deliver the highest quality of medical care.

Maybe we shouldn't have been so sum of ourselves. An article in the Journal

of the American Medical Association points out that in the morning after 24

hours of sleeplessness, a person's motor performance is comparable to that of

someone who is legally intoxicated. Curiously, surgeons who believe that

operating under the influence is grounds for dismissal often don't think twice

about operating without enough deep.

"I could tell you horror stories," says Jaya Agrawal, president of the American

Medical Student Association, which runs a website where residents can post

anonymous anecdotes. Some are terrifying. "I was operating after being up

for over 36 hours," one writes. "I literally fell asleep standing up and nearly

face planted into the wound."

"Practically every surgical resident I know has fallen asleep at the wheel

driving home from work," writes another. "I know of three who have hit

parked cats. Another hit a 'Jersey barrier' on the New Jersey Turnpike, going

65 m. p. h." "Your own patients have become the enemy," writes a third,

bemuse they are "the one thing that stands between you and a few hours of

sleep."

Agrawal's organization is supporting the Patient and Physician Safety and

Protection Act of 2001, introduced last November by Representative John

Conyers Jr. of Michigan. Its key provisions, modeled on New York State's

regulations, include an 80-hour workweek and a 24-hour work-shift limit.

Most doctors, however, resist such interference. Dr. Charles Binkley, a senior

surgery resident at the University of Michigan, agrees that something needs

to be done but believes "doctors should be hound by their conscience, not by

the government."

The U.S. controls the hours of pilots and truck drivers. But until such a system

is in place for doctors, patients are on their own. If you're worried about the

people treating you or a loved one, you should feel free to ask how many

hours of sleep they have had and if more-rested staffers are available. Doctors,

for their part, have to give up their pose of infallibility (不出错) and get the

rest they need.

What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

who sleep less than 8 hours a day are more prone to illness.

sleep quality may be a sign of physical disorder.

is often associated with sleep.

much sleep can be as harmful as lack of deep.

49. It can be inferred from the passage that before 1910 the normal running

time of a film was ______.

A.15 minutes or less

n 15 and 30 minutes

n 30 and 60 minutes

D.1 hour or more

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or

incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions

or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever more cunning

tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain

nasty. That compulsion has resulted in robotics — the science of conferring

various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists have yet to create

the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close.

As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos

whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed

much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms.

Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with

mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by

tireless robot drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization of

electronics and micro mechanics, there are already robot systems that can

perform. some kinds of brain and bone surgery with sub millimeter accuracy

— far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their

hands alone.

But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have

to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few

decisions for themselves — goals that pose a real challenge. "While we know

how to tell a robot to handle a specific error," says Dave Lavery, manger of a

robotics program at NASA, "we can't yet give a robot enough common sense

to reliably interact with a dynamic world."

Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed

results. Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s when it

appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to copy

the action of the human brain by the year 2010, researchers lately have begun

to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.

What they found, in attempting to model thought, is that the human brain’s

roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented — and human

perception far more complicated — than previously imagined. They have

built robots that can recognize the error of a machine panel by a fraction of a

millimeter in a controlled factory environment. But the human mind can

glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediately disregard the 98 per cent

that is irrelevant, instantaneously focusing on the monkey at the side of a

winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a big crowd. The most

advanced computer systems on Earth can't approach that kind of ability, and

neuroscientists still don't know quite how we do it.

Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in ______.

The subject of paragraph is ______.

ion ted factors and diet meat

our solar system has a Hell, it's Venus. The air is choked with foul and

corrosive sulfur, heaved from ancient volcanoes and feeding acid clouds

above. Although the second planet is a step farther from the sun than Mercury,

a runaway greenhouse effect makes it hotter indeed. It's the hottest of the nine

plants, a toasty 900 degrees Fahrenheit of baking rocky flats from equator to

poles. All this under a crushing atmospheric pressure 90 times that of where

you're sitting now. From the earthly perspective, a dead end. It must be

lifeless.

"Venus has nothing," is the blunt word from planetologist Kevin Zahnle of

NASA Ames Research Center in Calitfornia's Silicon Valley. "We've written

it off."

Yet a small group of advanced life-forms on Earth begs to differ, and theorizes

that bizarre microbial ecosystems might have once populated Venus and, in

fact, may be there still. Members of this loose band of researchers suggest that

their colleagues have water too much on the brain, and are, in a sense, H2O

chauvinists (盲目的爱国者).

"Astrobiologists are neglecting Venus due more to narrow thinking than actual

knowledge of the environment, or environments, where life can thrive," says

Dirk Schulze-Makuch, a geobiologist at the University of Texas at E1 Paso

who recently co-authored a Venus-boosting paper in Astrobiology with

colleague Louis Irwin.

The bias against life on Venus is partly rooted in our own biology. Human

experience instructs that liquid water, preferably lot of it, is essential for life.

In search for extraterrestrial life, we obsess over small rivers in Mars' surface

apparently carved by ancient gushes of water, and delight in hints of

permafrost (永久冻结带) just underneath its surface. (By comparison, Venus

isn't even that interesting to look at: A boring cue ball (台球的白色母球) for

backyard astronomers, its clouds reflects 75% of visible light.) Attention and

then funding follow the water: Three more landers will depart for Mars this

spring, and serious plans for sample-return missions hover in the midterm

future.

"If you have limited resources, you base exploration on what you know," says

Arizona State University planetary geologist Ronal Greeley. It's like losing

your keys on the way home at night: The first place you look is under the

streetlights not because they're more likely to be there, but because if they are,

you'll spot them. For astrobiologists, the streetlights are the spectral (光谱的)lines for water, and they've spotted that potential on Mars, Jupiter's moon

Europa, even Neptune's moon Triton. Not on the baking rocky flats of Venus.

Venus is the hottest of all the nine planets in the solar system because______.

is not so close to the Sun as Mercury

volcanoes spread the whole planet

is covered by a thick layer of cloud

ouse effect is uncontrollable on it

dent with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and

habitats has been a growing appreciation of the importance of biological

diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the

Earth and human being. Much has been written about the diversity of

terrestrial (陆生的) organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life

associated with tropical rain forest habitats.

Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even

though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of richness

of life. An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet's

dominant, most distinctive feature—the ocean. Humans have a bias toward

land that sometimes gets in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen

from far away, it is easy to realize that landmasses occupy one third of the

Earth's surface. Given that two thirds of the Earth's surface is water and that

marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three dimensional living

space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains

more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer

distinct species.

The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world's rain

forests does not seem surprising, considering the huge numbers of insects that

comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many different species

of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is different from

every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to

share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad

categories such as phyla and classes (门和纲) are given more emphasis than

differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is

unquestionably in the sea. Nearly every major type of plant and animal has

some representation there.

To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to

think small. Every spoonful of ocean water contains life on the order of 100

to 100, 000 bacterial cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals,

including larvae (幼虫) of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to

starfish and clams and much more.

The main topic of the passage is that ______.

are destroying thousands of species

are thousands of insect species

sea is even richer in life than the rain forests

reefs are similar to rain forests

15.C解析：根据题干中的信息词competitive in science定位到第一个小标题下的最后一句，可知David Baltimore认为，美国人如果在理科没有竞争力，就无法保证现有的生活水平、国家安全和生活方式，但并没有提到他们无法在发达国家的激烈竞争中存活下来。

16.B

more done fasterget more done faster 解析：参考文章They multiply

their time with minimum effort by using a strategy called "leveraging".

"Anyone can learn these methods, "claims Winston. "They can help people

get more done faster leaving plenty of free time for other things."

18.A解析：由题眼定位到第三段首句If you spend all day pretend studying，you'll pay all night cramming for real．(如果你整个白天假装学习，那你就得整晚埋头苦学了。)由此可判断，梦幻型学习者最终得用功学习才能应付考试。与原文内容相符合。

jobs overseasmoving jobs overseas 解析：空白处需要名词性成

分，作by的宾语，表方式或方法。题目的表述刚好把原文中的“方式—结果”关系颠倒了过来，题目先说明了结果gilt down On expenses，这与原文的keep expenses down意思一致，丽因为题目空白前有介词by，故需把原文中的表方式的动词不定式改成动名词形式，因此答案为moving

jobs overseas。

s of powersources of power 解析：本题考查电动自行车属于混合动力交通工具的原因。What Makes it a “Hybrid”?下第一段为答案出处。综合第三句a其不意moped (a motorized pedal bike) is a type of hybrid

because it combines the power of a gasoline engine with the pedal power of

its rider和第一句对混合动力交通工具的定义,Any vehicle is a hybrid

when it combines two or more sources of power不难得知该题答案。

21.D解析：What were the passengers' reactions?

22.A解析：W: What would you like to have for tonight, fish or steak?

M: It is better to have some light food in such dry weather.

Q: What can be inferred from the man's answer?

23.B解析：Why does Lisa take part-time jobs?

24.A解析：M: Shelly waited for Jack for about 5 hours. If it were me, I'd

have told him off for it in front of everyone.

W: Yeah, but that's nothing unusual for Jack. Although I wouldn't have

thought he'd try the same trick with her.

Q: What does the woman infer about Jack?

-confidence is needed to deal with circumstance in an

optimistichopefuland self-assured manner．Self-confidence is needed to deal

with circumstance in an optimistic，hopeful，and self-assured manner． 解析：应该以一种乐观、充满希望又胸有成竹的态度自信地处理问题。

26.B解析：M: Lucy, could you describe what you were doing at the moment?

W: Well, I was still sleeping at 6 o'clock. Then there was this horrible sound

and the floor was just bouncing and rolling like waves, all at the same time.

Q: What are the speakers talking about?

综合推断题。结合对话中的floor, bouncing和rolling推断，当时发生了地震，所以B正确。

ial

28.D解析：选项均以动词原形开头，故本题很可能考查行为活动。选项C和D的意思相矛盾，根据命题规律，这类选项中往往有一个是答案．再根据对话中男士提到的Why don't…books are still there?和女士对此的回答．I guess that's the only choice I'm left with right now可知，女士打算接受男士的建议，到Mrs. Henzer家看看书是否在那儿，故答案为D。

29.A解析：该题问“文章主要讲什么?”文章开头就用"Is your family

interested in buying a dog?" 引出话题，讨论如何选择宠物狗。显然[A]“家养狗的正确选择”是正确的。

30.B解析：M: You didn't seem to be able to sit still for class. Are you

expecting something?

W: Yes. I'm expecting a call to see if I was accepted for the position at Cole's.

I could do with the cash.

Q: What does the woman mean?

分析选项可知，女士的话为听音重点。由对话可知女士在等电话，看是否能够获得 Cole's的职位(position)，[B]与此相符。本题只要抓住关键词position就很容易选出答案。

tic

32.C解析：选项概括性强表明，本题考查短文主旨。短文主要讲Zoe不幸失业了，后来受朋友Kathy的邀请去拜访其农场，在农场认识到农村生活的惬意，故答案为[C](塞翁失马，焉知非福)。

in imaging future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we

live in in imaging future worlds which are a reflection of the world

which we live in now.

34.C解析：综合理解题。男士先问女士的电话是否被挂断了，他认为女士一直都在忙着。女士表示没有，有人让她挂断待会再打(they asked me

to hang up and try again later)。由女士的回答可知她在打电话。

35.A解析：推理题。题干问今天ease of travel in Europe的结果是什么。原文中说“如果各个民族都变得alike了，这个世界会很无趣”，随后说With the…case of travel，至少在欧洲there might seem to be some truth in

this。可见句中this指的是前文中的各个民族都变得一样了的那种无趣的状态。正确回答题干的选项是A“人们之间的差别会逐渐消失”。

36.B解析：What may happen to Mary in the end?

ndedunattended 解析：前文说，司机把车子停放在那里，后文说大约有三分钟左右，故空格处应填入表示车子状态的词。

38.B解析：What does the woman advise about the man's diet?

四个选项都是男士应该采取的行动，由此可以推测，本问题考查的内容可能与对男士的建议有关。女士对男士说，你应该控制饮食(watch diet)，不要再吃像冰淇淋一样高脂肪的食物(fatty food)。建议男士应该少吃高脂肪食物。故正确答案为B)。

preferred for its ease of manipulation and reduction in paper handlingis

preferred for its ease of manipulation and reduction in paper handling

40.A解析：What is the Price Chopper?

综合推断题。男士说自己要去Price Chopper，还说自己在妈妈做兼职之后就要经常去购买家庭用品，再结合之后有关购物的对话可知，Price

Chopper应该是一个market，故选A。

41.C解析：细节题。文章的第五段描述了另一个研究。研究者调查刚刚失去亲人的人(bereaved people)，因为他们较容易得病，甚至死去。通过检查他们的免疫系统，研究者发现其免疫系统的白细胞不正常，而白细胞是免疫系统中的重要组成部分。文章中有关针对失去亲人的人们的研究中并没有说明A压力直接影响疾病；B失去亲人的人应该调整自己的情绪；以及最后一段的第一句也说明还没有明确的证据表明两者之间的必然联系，答案D是错的。C是正确答案。

drevised 解析：由题干中的were可知，本空应填一形容词或动词的过去分词。根据题干中的credit crunch，growth和FTTH定位到第五段。题干中的emerged是对started to make itself felt的同义转述，forecasts与predictions同义，由此可知revised即为答案。

43.A解析：文章第五段第一句可以找到答案：”Next a study of

thunderclouds over the North Atlantic showed that lightning occurs only

when the air temperature a- round the cloud is below freezing．”

44.C解析：文章第四段第一句提到了缩小数字鸿沟的困难。从该段第二句话可知，贫穷国家在食品上的支出要高于在电脑上的支出(persuading

foreign governments to buy computers instead of food can be tough)，即那些发达国家首先要解决温饱问题，C表达的意思与此相同，为答案。

45.A解析：尽管Jerry Springer谈论的社会问题看似有些令人不悦，但观众仍对此着迷不已。短文中第二段最后一句话表达的正是此意。

解析：该空格前为形容词natural，空格后为介词to，因此空格处应选能和to构成搭配的名词。原句意为“当戴太阳镜时，眼睛对这种黑暗状态的自然______就是增大瞳孔”，因此所选名词应意为“反应”，L(反

应)最适合，且reaction to是固定搭配。

47.C解析：逻辑推断题。A：很赞同“有一份适合时下的简历”的观点；B：绝对不能忍受只顾享乐的生活；C：在阐述自己对职业焦虑的观点时，努力保持具有说服力和令人信服的口吻；D：认为人改变不了自己所处的环境。本文是针对人们对工作失去兴趣的，C概括了作者的意图。A所涉及的内容位于最后一段首句，作者赞成对自己工作有责任感；B中作者并未对享受生活的态度表明看法，D的意思与原文相反。

48.B解析：本题为推理题，问“第一段暗含了什么意思”。第一段最后一句话提到“... people who routinely sleep more than eight hours a day and are

still tired are nearly three times as likely to die of stroke—probably as a result

of an underlying disorder that keeps them from snoozing(睡)soundly.”，意思是那些每天习惯睡八个小时以上但仍然感觉疲劳的人死于中风的危险是普通人的三倍，这也许这是一种潜在的紊乱导致的结果，正是这种紊乱才让他们难以安睡。由此句可以看出潜在的紊乱可能导致人们睡眠质量不高，虽然睡眠时间长，但仍然感到疲惫。因此B项“睡眠质量不高可能是身体紊乱的征兆”为正确项。

49.A解析：由题干the text that before 1910 the normal running time of a

film was 定位到原文第三段第四、第五句When he remade Enoch Arden

in 1911，he insisted that a subject of such importance could not be treated in

the conventional length of one reel．Griffith's introduction of the American-made multireel picture began an immense revolution．推断题。由Lines 5---6，Para．3“ in the．．．one reel”及Line 8“reached．．．four reels，or one

hour's．．．”可知，传统电影是用一本胶片就可摄制完的。后来Griffith达

到四本胶片即一个小时的放映时间。所以可推出一本影片拷贝为15分钟，因而从前一部电影不多于15分钟。故选A)。[避错]B)、C)、D)选项中的时间均不符合原文。

invention of tools for difficult and dangerous workthe invention of

tools for difficult and dangerous work

解析：该空格前为形容词different，再结合之前用于限定可数名词数量的dozens of可知，空格处应选复数可数名词。原句意为“该词过去被用于许多不同的______，但现在可能只会代表一个悲惨的含义”，因此F (上下文，背景)最适合。

52.C解析：第4段末句表明这些人的感受能力只像塑料花一样，也就是说他们的感受能力很低，因此选项C的描述是最贴切的。本题较具干扰性的是选项D，但要注意原文中quiet用于形容乡下村民的生活，而不能用于形容“在城市工作在乡下居住”的人；其他两个选项均无相关的原文依据。

53.C解析：文章在第六段一开头就说：Finally，al though these three groups

don't eat exactly the same foods，their diets are similar．(尽管这三群人所吃食物不尽相同，但他们节食却是相似的。)且最后义说： They never eat

more food than their bodies need．(他们所吃食物从不超过身体所需要的定量)。由此可见本段谈论的主要是食物和节食。因此C项应该是本题的正确答案。

54.D解析：从文中所述可以推断，金星比其他行星都热，是因为温室效应肆虐(runaway)，因此正确答案应为D。

55.C解析：主旨题。综观全文，本文的主题是海洋中的生物比热带雨林

中的丰富得多。

a forger．As a forger． 解析：参见文章第三句话。

57.D解析：首段最后几句提到Mr. Priestley让作者去参加演讲比赛，并回答说:“因为我觉得你行。”来鼓励作者参加。倒数第2段最后两句，作者对那一次被迫参加比赛的经历做出了解释:因为Mr. Priestley要让学生从挑战中学会如何去做他们从没做过的事。换句话说，Mr. Priestley用这种特殊的方式去鼓励学生，推动他们去学习。选项D中的motivated就有“推动、鼓励”的意思，因此选D。

解析：该空格前为情态动词can，空格后为名同damage，因此空格处应选及物动词原形。原句意为“让更多的阳光进入瞳孔，可以

______对你视力的伤害”，因此所选动词应意为“加重”，J(加强)最适合。

59.A解析：文章最后一段提到了开展跨国培训项目，根据文章最后一句…training program…making sure the Americans and the Japanese

understand each other可知，跨文化培训的目的是减少目前美国人和日本人在决策时为确保双方相互理解所花费的时间，因此可见培训涉及的是美国人和日本人之间的理解，故选A。

60.C解析：由题干的inferred from the passage定位到全文。推断题。由第三段第四句Media coverage of events as they occur also provides

powerful feedback that influences events．可知，媒体对事件的报道会提供强烈的反馈，反过来又会影响事件本身。由此可知，媒体对事件的报道既可带来好的影响也可造成恶劣的后果。因此C)是正确选项。[避错]A)“1992洛杉矶的骚乱持续了一周”、B)“当Rodney King周五出现在

电视上时，他非常生气”和D)“大多数看过罗德尼.金殴打案录像的人都同意判决结果”均与原文意思不符。

ting→exploitedexploiting→exploited 解析：语态错误。此处需要被动语态，因为孩子们是被剥削。

→basisbase→basis 解析：base意为“基础，基地”，basis(for)意为“基础，根据”，原句表达“科学根据”只能为scientific basis，而scientific

base意为“科学基地”。此处还应注意的是不能受base on(基于)这个短语的影响而将for改为on。

→besidesexcept→besides 解析：本题考查同义短语辨析。题意为在美国，教授除教学之外还有其他的职责。except意为“除……之外(都是……或都不是……)”，表示的逻辑为排斥关系。而besides意为“除……之外(还……)”，表示的逻辑关系为递进。

ing→prospectivepromising→prospective 解析：应该是未来的移民，而不是前途无量的移民。

e→requiringrequire→requiring 解析：本题考查非谓语动词用法。parasites(寄生虫)后跟的定语应用现在分词。Require sth./sb.需要某物/某人。

's wise of you to show off your greater knowledge in front of the

directorit's wise of you to show off your greater knowledge in front of the

director 解析：本题考查对形式宾语it及短语show off用法的掌握。本题中think的真正宾语是后面的不定式短语，由于有了宾补wise，故必须由it来充当形式宾语。show off表示“炫耀，卖弄”。

t him to our point of viewconvert him to our point of view 解析：

考查点：表示“使……改变为……”，to是介词，后面应接名词或动名词。point of view表示“观点”。特别提示：表示“改变”的词汇中，convert指整体全面的改变；而alter指局部的改变。

I realize how childish I had been thendid I realize how childish I had

been then 解析：考查点：1. 倒装。not until在句首时，该句谓语动词部分倒装。2. 根据句子时间的前后顺序可知，填空处时态应用过去完成时。

this car accident had been designed deliberately / on purpose /

purposely / intendedly / intentionallyThat this car accident had been designed

deliberately / on purpose / purposely / intendedly / intentionally 解析：这是一个主语从句的题目,首先引导从句的that不可省略,“故意”可译为deliberately/on purpose/ purposely / intendedly, 又如：I think he was

deliberately ignoring me.我认为他是在故意忽视我。

of sheer revenge for her mistakeOut of sheer revenge for her mistake

解析：①“出于…”用out of…表示：②“纯粹出于报复”翻泽时译成“出于纯粹的报复”译为sheer revenge。
