　　Choosing an OccupationOne of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. There are some people, of course, who from the time are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to give you detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)【全文翻譯】

　　我們會陷入水資源枯竭的困境嗎?想象一只“幽靈船”沉入了沙土中，任其留在干旱的沙土中腐爛掉。再想象沙塵暴從干旱的海床上席卷起有毒的殺蟲劑和化肥，呼嘯著穿過城鎮(zhèn)和村莊。看起來像關(guān)于世界末日的電影中的一個(gè)場景?對于居住在中亞咸海附近的居民而言，這一切都是真實(shí)的。30 年前，為了灌溉(提供水)農(nóng)田，政府部門的規(guī)劃專家們改道了引水入海的河流。結(jié)果，咸�？s小為原來的一半，船只也擱淺在干旱的沙土上。海水受到污染，其鹽含量增到了三倍，導(dǎo)致24 種土生土長的魚類滅絕。根據(jù)眾多環(huán)保組織的調(diào)查，世界其他地方與此類似的大規(guī)模的改道努力也是以生態(tài)危機(jī)而告終的。盡管建造大壩和灌溉系統(tǒng)創(chuàng)造的問題要比它們解決的問題多，但是許多國家仍然繼續(xù)這樣的項(xiàng)目。為什么呢?世界許多地方的人都非常需要水;而且，隨著人口的增長，下個(gè)世紀(jì)將有更多的人需要更多的水。來自于太平洋發(fā)展、環(huán)境和安全研究所(the Pacific Institute for Studies in Development, Environment, and Security)的環(huán)境科學(xué)家Peter H. Gleick 說，“不斷增長的人口將會進(jìn)一步惡化缺水問題”。該研究所是位于加利福尼亞的一個(gè)研究機(jī)構(gòu)。他擔(dān)心，到2025 年，在83 億世界預(yù)計(jì)人口中，將有三分之一的人口面臨缺水問題。水去了哪里?來自位于馬塞諸塞州阿默斯特的全球水政策項(xiàng)目的Sandra Postel 主任認(rèn)為，地球上只有2.5%的水是適合飲用和種植食物的淡水，其中的三分之一屬于冰川和冰蓋。事實(shí)上，只有極小比例的淡水是水循環(huán)的一部分。在水循環(huán)中，水蒸發(fā)后上升到大氣中，然后凝結(jié)并以降水的形式(雨或雪)回落到地球上。一些降水流經(jīng)陸地進(jìn)入湖泊和海洋，另一些滲入地球變成地下水。大部分這樣的再生淡水最后積聚在諸如巴西亞馬遜河流域這樣很少有人居住的偏遠(yuǎn)地方。事實(shí)上，世界人口能獲得的淡水僅有12，500 立方千米——相當(dāng)于Superior湖的湖水量，其一半已為人類所使用。Postel說，“如果水的需求量不斷快速攀升，水資源將嚴(yán)重短缺，水環(huán)境將受到極大破壞�！眴栴}就在家門口對于生活在像美國這樣富裕國家的人來說，水危機(jī)似乎很遙遠(yuǎn)。但是美國人可能面臨嚴(yán)重的缺水問題，尤其是那些依賴地下水的區(qū)域。地下水儲存于地下含水層和位于泥土和巖床之間的沙石層中。(地球上的地表水與地下水的水量之比大約為1∶90。) 雖然美國富有含水層，農(nóng)民、農(nóng)場主和城市居民的用水速度超過了自然界水資源的再生速度。例如，根據(jù)Postel的調(diào)查，在西北部的得克薩斯州，超量的抽取使得地下水供應(yīng)減少了25%。美國人可能會面臨更緊迫的污染問題。在美國，飲用水普遍安全，符合高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)要求。不過，據(jù)環(huán)境保護(hù)署的調(diào)查，每天有五分之一的美國人在不知不覺中飲用受到細(xì)菌和化學(xué)廢物污染的自來水。1993 年，密爾沃基有40 萬人因飲用受到隱孢子蟲污染的自來水而患病。隱孢子蟲是一種可引起高燒、腹瀉和嘔吐的微生物。污染源這些污染物從何而來呢?在發(fā)展中國家，人們把污水倒入他們從中獲取飲用和烹飪水的同一小溪和河流中，每年大約有250 萬人感染水傳播疾病。在發(fā)達(dá)國家，制造商使用100,000 種化合物來制造更多種類的產(chǎn)品。未經(jīng)處理就被釋放入河流和湖泊中的化學(xué)物質(zhì)使水受到污染。(某些化合物，如多氯聯(lián)苯，即PCBs，在美國已被禁用。)但是，水污染幾乎與每個(gè)人都有關(guān)。人們常常將清潔用品、汽車防凍劑、油漆稀釋劑倒入下水道中，而所有這些用品都含有有害的化學(xué)物質(zhì)。1996 年，科學(xué)家們對舊金山海灣的水進(jìn)行了研究，他們說，百分之七十的污染物可以追溯到家居廢物。除草劑和殺蟲劑既可以殺死雜草和昆蟲，也會污染水源，因此農(nóng)民們一直因過量使用除草劑和殺蟲劑而備受批評。農(nóng)民們還使用可以促進(jìn)植物生長的硝酸鹽和富含氮的化肥，但是它們也會嚴(yán)重破壞環(huán)境。硝酸鹽類物質(zhì)會被地表徑流沖刷入湖泊和海洋之中。過多的硝酸鹽使得水域“超級富有”，從而造成水藻或水面微小植物的大量繁殖。藻類剝奪了魚生存所必需的氧氣，有時(shí)候會令整個(gè)水域中的生命窒息而亡。解決的方法是什么呢?水資源專家Gleick 提倡保護(hù)水資源，通過因地制宜的方法來解決與水相關(guān)的問題。例如，政府最好建筑小規(guī)模的水壩，而不是像毀掉咸海那樣具有破壞性的大水壩�！叭�世界有超過10 億的人口缺乏基本的清潔飲用水，”Gleick 說，“每個(gè)人——政府人員和普通人——都要付諸努力，確保我們有一個(gè)最基本的生活源泉。”

　　【答案解析】

　　1.【解析】[A]屬細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)題干的意思，是什么原因造成咸海海水量的減少呢?本文的第二段提到了咸海的具體情況。所以根據(jù)題干中的核心詞“Aral Sea”，并結(jié)合第二段的具體內(nèi)容，可以將答案定位在該段的第二、三句話“...government planners diverted the rivers that flow into the sea in order to irrigate(provide water for)farmland. As a result, the sea has shrunk to half its original size,...”，這與A“The rivers flowing into it have been diverted”表示的“流入其的河流被改道”的意思相吻合。所以正確答案是A 項(xiàng)。答案B 和C 均屬于斷章取義，偷換了句子中的部分內(nèi)容，是迷惑項(xiàng)。答案D 的內(nèi)容按照常理來說，具有一定正確性，但文章并未提及，也是干擾項(xiàng)。

　　2.【解析】[C]屬同義轉(zhuǎn)換題。題干要求回答有關(guān)大壩建設(shè)和灌溉工程的情況，其中的“massive dams and irrigation”是核心詞，定位于文章第三段。該段中的第二句話“...many countries continue to build massive dams and irrigation systems, even though such projects can create more problems than they fix”。這與C 項(xiàng)意思“壞處多于好處”一致。所以正確答案是C。答案A 和B 的意思與原文相反;答案D 在文中未提及，屬于故意干擾項(xiàng)。

　　3.【解析】[D]屬段落大意理解題。對于此類主旨大意題，可以先看題支中各個(gè)選項(xiàng)的區(qū)別和聯(lián)系，然后結(jié)合自己對文章的理解來予以選擇或者排除。本題要求回答缺水的主要原因是什么。對比四個(gè)選項(xiàng)，其中共有四種情況的不同組合：人口增長、水資源污染、水資源浪費(fèi)和氣候干燥。其中的“人口增長”在第三段結(jié)尾和第四段開頭“Growing population will worsen problems with water”中提到過，屬于缺水的主要原因之一;“水資源污染”在小標(biāo)題“the source”下面分別從發(fā)展中國家、發(fā)達(dá)國家、個(gè)人和農(nóng)民的角度作出重要說明，也是造成缺水的主要原因之一;“水資源浪費(fèi)和氣候干燥”在文中均未提及，所以正確答案是D。

　　4.【解析】[C]屬同義轉(zhuǎn)換題。根據(jù)題干中關(guān)鍵詞“Americans”，可以定位在小標(biāo)題“Close to home”下第一段的第二句話，“Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on groundwater”，表明美國人，特別是依賴地下水的居民可能面臨缺水問題，這與答案C 的“depending on groundwater”意思一致，屬于同義轉(zhuǎn)換，所以答案選C。答案A、B、D 都是文章中與題干內(nèi)容相關(guān)的某句話的斷章取義，屬于干擾項(xiàng)。

　　5.【解析】[A]屬細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞“pollutant”，可以將答案定位在小標(biāo)題“The sources”之下，再根據(jù)“in developed countries”，可以定位于第二段前兩句“In developed countries, ... Toxic chemicals pollute water when released untreated into rivers and lakes”。這與A“untreated toxic chemicals from manufacturers”完全吻合，所以答案是A。B 是發(fā)展中國家水污染的主要來源，C 和D 分別說明的是農(nóng)民和個(gè)人對水資源造成的污染，屬于干擾項(xiàng)。

　　6.【解析】[B]屬細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。題干中的algae 是關(guān)鍵詞，將答案直接定位于小標(biāo)題“The source”之下最后一段的最后一句，“Algae deprive the water of oxygen that fish need to survive, at times choking off life in an entire body of water”，這與B“與水域中的生物競爭氧氣”相吻合，所以答案選B 項(xiàng)。答案A 是對文中部分內(nèi)容的改寫，與答案無關(guān);C 和D 在文中均未提及。7.【解析】[D]屬細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。題干中的“Gleick”和“solving water-related problems”是關(guān)鍵詞，將答案定位在小標(biāo)題“What’s the solution”之下最后一段的最后一句，“...says Gleick. ‘There has to be a strong push on the part of everyone—governments and ordinary people—to make sure we have a resource so fundamental to life’”，這與D“government and every person”意思一致，所以答案選D 項(xiàng)。其他選項(xiàng)意思與文章不符。

　　8.【解析】one third 解題依據(jù)為第四段最后一句話：He fears that by the year 2025, as many as one third of the world’s projected 8.3 billion people will suffer from water shortages.9.【解析】glaciers and ice caps 解題依據(jù)為第五段第二句話：Two-thirds of this freshwater is locked in glaciers and ice caps.

　　10.【解析】water pollution 解題依據(jù)為第十段第二句話：Toxic chemicals pollute water when released untreated into rivers and lakes.

　　M:Why not go over for a visit?

　　Q:What does the man mean?

　　【解析】[A]男士說的 Why not go over for a visit 即是在建議女士去看望她的堂兄。Now you’ll hear two long conversations.Conversation OneW:OK, last night you were supposed to read an article about human bones. Are there any comments about it?

　　M:Well, to begin with, I was surprised to find out there was so much going on in bones. I always assumed they were pretty lifeless.

　　W:Well, that’s an assumption many people make. But the fact is bones are made of dynamic living tissue that requires continuous maintenance and repair.

　　M:Right. That’s one of the things I found so fascinating about the article the way the bones repair themselves.

　　W:OK. So can you tell us how the bones repair themselves?

　　M:Sure. See, there are two groups of different types of specialized cells in the bone that work together to do it. The first group goes to an area of the bone that needs repair. This group of cells produces the chemical that actually breaks down the bone tissue, and leaves a hole in it. After that the second group of specialized cells comes and produces the new tissue that fills in the hole that was made by the first group.

　　W:Very good. This is a very complex process. In fact, the scientists who study human bones don’t completely understand it yet. They are still trying to find out how it all actually works. Specifically, because sometimes after the first group of cells leaves a hole in the bone tissue, for some reason, the second group doesn’t completely fill in the hole. And this can cause real problems. It can actually lead to a disease in which the bone becomes weak and is easily broken.

　　M:OK, I get it. So if the scientists can figure out what makes the specialized cells work, maybe they can find a way to make sure the second group of cells completely fills the hole in the bone tissue every time. That’ll prevent the disease from ever occurring.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19.What is the discussion mainly about?

　　【解析】[C]對話一開始就談?wù)撊祟惞趋赖膯栴}，女士說 But the fact is bones are made of dynamic living tissue that requires continuous maintenance and repair. 后面的對話都是針對這個(gè)話題展開的討論，可見整個(gè)對話討論的話題是骨骼的自我修復(fù)能力。20.What is the function of the first group of specialized cells discussed in the talk?

　　【解析】[C]男士解釋了第一組細(xì)胞的作用，第一組細(xì)胞生成一種化學(xué)物質(zhì)分解骨組織(This group of cells produces the chemical that actually breaks down the bone tissue...)，由此可見答案是They break down bone tissue.21.What does the professor say about scientists who study the specialized cells in human bones?

　　【解析】[B]女士說這種特殊細(xì)胞作用于人類骨骼的過程相當(dāng)復(fù)雜，事實(shí)上，連研究人類骨骼的科學(xué)家都不能完全了解這個(gè)過程。從這一句中可以知道：In fact, the scientists who study human bones don’t completely understand it yet. 所以答案即是這些科學(xué)家也不完全知道這些細(xì)胞如何工作。22.According to the student, which is one important purpose of studying specialized cells in human bones?

　　【解析】[A]學(xué)習(xí)這些人類骨骼中的特殊細(xì)胞的重要目的是為了學(xué)習(xí)如何預(yù)防骨頭疾病。從男士的這一句話中可看出：That’ll prevent the disease from ever occurring. 這樣可以在疾病發(fā)生之前預(yù)防疾病，可見[A]符合題意。Conversation Two

　　M: Hi Diana, mind if I sit down?

　　W: Not at all, Jerry. How have you been?

　　M:Good. But I’m surprised to see you on the city bus. Your car in the shop?

　　W:No. I’ve just been thinking a lot about the environment lately. So I decided the air will be a lot cleaner if we all use public transportation when we could.

　　M:I’m sure you are right. The diesel bus isn’t exactly pollution free.

　　W:True. They’ll be running a lot cleaner soon. We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class.

　　M:What could the city do? Install pollution filters in all their buses?

　　W:They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on the fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their engines more efficient.

　　M: How?

　　W:Well, there is a material that’s a really good insulator. And a thin coat of it gets sprayed on the certain part of the engine.

　　M: An insulator?

　　W:Yeah. What it does is reflect back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.

　　M:So a lot less unburned fuel comes out to pollute the air.

　　W:And the bus will need less fuel. So with the saving on fuel cost, they say this will all pay for itself in just six months.

　　M:Sounds like people should all go out and get some this stuff to spray their car engines.

　　W:Well, it’s not really that easy. You see, normally, the materials are fine powder. To melt it so you can spray a coat of it on the engine parts, you first have to heat it over 10,000 degrees and then, well, you get the idea. It’s not something you or I will be able to do ourselves.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23.What is the conversation mainly about?

　　【解析】[C]女士說為了環(huán)保應(yīng)該多乘坐公共交通設(shè)備，因此之后的話題便圍繞如何節(jié)能保護(hù)環(huán)境的問題展開。這段對話主要討論的是公共汽車的節(jié)能問題，討論了如何讓公共汽車燃料更有效的利用，因此[C]符合題意。24.Why did the woman decide to ride the city bus?

　　【解析】[B]對話開頭部分就交代了此題答案，那位女士說她不開自己的車而乘坐公共汽車是為了降低環(huán)境污染。從她提到的So I decided the air will be a lot cleaner if we all use public transportation when we could 即可得知。25.What is the new material?

　　【解析】[D]這種新的材料是在引擎部位噴灑的一種絕緣材料。從女士的話中there is a material that’s a really good insulator. And a thin coat of it gets sprayed on the certain part of the engine 即可得出。這種材料的用途是將燃料燃燒的熱量反射回去，從而達(dá)到提高效率的結(jié)果。Section B

　　Passage One

　　A guide dog is a dog especially trained to guide a blind person. Dogs chosen for such training must show good intelligence, physical fitness, and responsibility.At the age of about fourteen months, a guide dog begins an intensive course that lasts from three to five months. It becomes accustomed to the leather harness and stiff leather handle it will wear when guiding its blind owner. The dog learns to watch traffic and to cross streets safely. It also learns to obey any command that might lead its owner into danger.The most important part of the training course is a four-week program in which the guide dog and its future owner learn to work together. However, many blind people are unsuited by personality to work dogs. Only about a tenth of the blind find a guide dog useful.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. How long does the intensive course last?

　　【解析】[A]文中明確提到an intensive course that lasts from three to five months，因此正確答案為 [A]。27.Which of the following is not a necessary skill guide dogs have to learn?

　　【解析】[D]答案依據(jù)是The dog learns to watch traffic and to cross streets safely. It also learns to obey any command that might lead its owner into danger. 從這兩句中可看出看家不屬于導(dǎo)盲犬訓(xùn)練范圍內(nèi)的技能。28.How long does the most important training course last?

　　【解析】[C]最重要的訓(xùn)練課程持續(xù)四周。文中明確指出了本題答案。The most important part of the training course is a four ? week program，從此句中即可看出。

　　Passage Two

　　People dream four to six times a night. They dream while they are in the REM stage of sleep, which means rapid eye movement stage in one’s sleep. Sleepers go into the REM stage about every 90 minutes. The first dream of the night may last about ten minutes. Each dream gets a little longer. The last dream of the night may be

　　an hour long.People need their dreams. Younger children spend more time dreaming. Babies spend almost half of their sleep in the REM stage. One experiment showed that everyone needs to dream. Doctors gave some people sleeping pills. These sleeping pills didn’t let them go to REM sleep. After a few nights without dreams, they began to feel bad. They became angry easily, they worried a lot, and they wanted to fight with everyone. Then they stopped taking the sleeping pills. They all began to dream all night for a few nights to catch up.Why do people dream? Dreams give them time to find the answers to some of their problems. If they think they will have difficult problems the next day, they may spend more time on REM sleep the night before. In their dreams, they may find an answer to their problems.

　　Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29.How often does a person dream each night?

　　【解析】[B]文章一開始即交代了一個(gè)人一晚上要做夢四到六次。從第一句就可看出People dreams four to six times a night.因此，答案為 [B]。30.What is true according to this passage?

　　【解析】[D]安眠藥會阻止人們進(jìn)入REM 睡眠狀態(tài)。These sleeping pills didn’t let them go to REM sleep.可看出 [D]項(xiàng)正確。31.Why do people dream?

　　【解析】[D]文中明確給出了答案Dreams give them time to find the answers to some of their problems.因?yàn)樵趬糁腥丝梢哉业阶约旱膯栴}的答案。
