A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful acmodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. Who is that? the new arrival asked St. Peter. Oh, that39。s God, came the reply, but sometimes he thinks he39。s a doctor.42. The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ________.　　[A] impolite to new arrivals（表面意思，容易排除）　　[B] very conscious of their godlike role(在護士的眼中！不是醫(yī)生在自己眼中的形象！看清題干)　　[C] entitled to some privileges（如果連護士都認(rèn)為醫(yī)生這樣做是他自己的特權(quán)，那么這就不是一個幽默了，是理所應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)摹Ｋ圆贿x擇C）　　[D] very busy even during lunch hours（無中生有）作者態(tài)度題l 當(dāng)作者態(tài)度未明確說明時1. 文章框架2.

Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. “I’m a good economic indicator,” she says. “I provide a service that people can do without when they’re concerned about saving some dollars.” So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middlebrow Dillard’s department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don’t know if other clients are going to abandon me, too.” she says51. By “Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet” (Lines 12, Paragraph 1), the author means ________.[A] Spero can hardly maintain her business（不能維持生意）（相反，生意是可以維持的）（A）But（B）。（B）是isn’t….不好的， 所以（A）是積極的，好的?！　B] Spero is too much engaged in her work(too表示太,以至于,不,表相反意思)　　[C] Spero has grown out of her bad habit（戒掉了咬指甲的壞習(xí)慣,直接排除）　　[D] Spero is not in a desperate situation（沒有在絕望的境地）（根據(jù)第二段中pretty good .not despair可以看出心態(tài)是好的）2004T3t53　Consumers say they’re not in despair because, despite the dreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. Home prices are holding steady in most regions. In Manhattan, “there’s a new gold rush happening in the $4 million to $10 million range, predominantly fed by Wall Street bonuses,” says broker Barbara Corcoran. In San Francisco, prices are still rising even as frenzied overbidding quiets. “Instead of 20 to 30 offers, now maybe you only get two or three,” says John Tealdi, a Bay Area realestate broker. And most folks still feel pretty fortable about their ability to find and keep a job.53. When mentioning “the $4 million to $10 million range” (Lines 34, Paragraph 3) the author is talking about ________.　　[A] gold market(黃金市場，干擾項來自there’s a new gold rush happening in the $4 million to $10 million range, predominantly fed by Wall Street bonuses，但是goldrush只是一個籠統(tǒng)的比喻手法，形容人們爭先恐后的投資而不是指黃金市場)　　[B] real estate（房地產(chǎn)）　　[C] stock exchange（股票交易）　　[D] venture investment（風(fēng)險投資）1998Text 32 3 兩段主要是寫因為沒錢，所以認(rèn)為其他人都是“反科學(xué)”　　1 Science has long had an uneasy relationship with other aspects of culture. Think of （指的是科學(xué)）Gallileo’s 17thcentury trial for his rebelling belief before the Catholic Church（指的是文化） or poet William Blake’s harsh remarks（文化）against the mechanistic worldview of Isaac Newton（科學(xué)）. The schism between science and the humanities has, if anything, deepened in this century.　2 　Until recently, the scientific munity was so powerful that it could afford to ignore its critics but no longer. As funding for science has declined, scientists have attacked “antiscience” in several books, notably Higher Superstition, by Paul R. Gross, a biologist at the University of Virginia, and Norman Levitt, a mathematician at Rutgers University。 and The DemonHaunted World, by Carl Sagan of Cornell University.3 Defenders of science have also voiced their concerns at meetings such as “The Flight from Science and Reason,” held in New York City in 1995, and “Science in the Age of (Mis) information,” which assembled last June near Buffalo.　4 　Antiscience clearly means different things to different people. Gross and Levitt find fault primarily with sociologists, philosophers and other academics who have questioned science’s objectivity. Sagan is more concerned with those who believe in ghosts, creationism and other phenomena that contradict the scientific worldview.　5 　A survey of news st
