【正文】 swer Questions Directions: In this part, there is a short passage with five questions or inplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words).For most of us, work is the central, dominating fact of life. We spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, travelling to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of living and to a considerable extent the status we are accorded by our fellow citizens as well. It is sometimes said that because leisure has bee more important the indignities and injustices of work can be pushed into a corner, that because most work is pretty intolerable, the people who do it should pensate for its boredom, frustrations and humiliations by concentrating their hopes on the other parts of their lives. I reject that as a counsel of despair. For the foreseeable future the material and psychological rewards which work can provide, and the conditions in which work is done, will continue to play a vital part in determining the satisfaction that life can offer. Yet only a small minority can control the pace at which they work or the conditions in which their work is done。 only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination, or initiative.Inequality at work and in work is still one of the cruelest and most glaring forms of inequality in our society. We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise directly or indirectly from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we tackle it headon. Still less can we hope to create a decent and humane society.Questions: 66. According to the author, people judge others mainly by _____________________________________________.67.

Your part of writing should be no less than 120 words.1. 缺水的現(xiàn)狀。2. 缺水的原因。3. 解決的辦法。 參考答案Part I Reading Comprehension1. D。文章的主要內(nèi)容是在不同的地區(qū)和地理、溫度、氣候條件下海洋的鹽度。2. B。根據(jù)文中信息，在沿岸地區(qū)，因為有淡水河流的注入，所以鹽度較低。3. D。文中第一段指出，蒸發(fā)使海洋失去水分，留下了鹽分，鹽的濃度就此增加。降水、徑流、溶化都是減少鹽分的過程。4. A。subtraction的意思是“減少，抽走”。5. C。文中很明確指出，海洋中冰的形成會引起鹽度的增加。所以C顯然不是海水結(jié)冰的結(jié)果。6. B。工具的制造對人腦的進(jìn)化起到了至關(guān)重要的作用，這一點并未在文中提到。 7. A。文中開頭提到當(dāng)大片的陸地面積被冰所覆蓋時，因為注入海洋的地表徑流量減少，使得海平面下降。8. D。作者在第一段的結(jié)尾處舉大鹽湖的例子是為了說明它是一度覆蓋2000平方英里的波那維爾湖因為在間冰期的溫暖干燥時期湖面下降而逐漸縮小面積而形成的。9. A。文中第二段的開頭指出，人類最初出現(xiàn)在地球上的時間還不能最后確定。10. C。文中第二段指出，發(fā)現(xiàn)的人類在冰河時代的工具和人骨可以幫助人們對冰河時代的情況有更多的了解。11. D。文中第一段指出，人口的增加并不是因為出生率的增加，而是死亡率的下降。12. B。文章第二段說明，在過去的、傳統(tǒng)型的社會中，老人一般在自己的家里得到照料直到壽終正寢。13. A。senile的意思是“年老的”。14. D。從文章的最后一段可以看出，作者對于那些療養(yǎng)院是持批評的態(tài)度，用的大多是貶義詞。如dumping grounds， poorly paid, overworked, 和underskilled。15. B。文章討論的主要話題是不同的感冒病毒對人的影響，所以最合適的題目是“人和病毒”。16. D。文章并沒有提到人們還沒有找到任何治療感冒的良方。17. B。文章第二段開頭指出，B型病毒不穩(wěn)定，而且往往會引起大范圍的傳染病的傳播。18. A。通過文章的介紹，可以看出，A型病毒是這三種病毒中對人類危害的一種，因為它不穩(wěn)定，并會造成危害性極大的流感的傳播。19. B。assault的意思是“襲擊”。20. D。文章最后一段說明，病毒傳播的程度和它本身的強度，它遇到的抵抗力，和它傳播的難易程度都是密切相關(guān)的。但是文章沒有提到病毒能帶來的免疫力。Part III Vocabulary and Structure21. B。relevant to：相關(guān)，切題。22.
