An Indian summer moon often has a soft yellow or orange hue. Indian summer lasts from a week to ten days and sometimes for two weeks. Then winter starts. Indian summer is caused by a large mass of warm tropical air. South winds carry these masses northward. The American Indian enjoyed Indian summer and called it a gift of a favorite God, Cautantowwit, the god of the southwest. Questions 25 to 27 are based on the passage you’ve just heard: of the following can be understood from the passage? 26. What causes Indian summer? 27. What was NOT mentioned as a feature of Indian summer? I’m Mr. Britain, the head librarian, an d today I’d like to introduce you to the facilities in our university library and show you how to use them. The first room on our tour is the reference room, where you’ll find all sorts of reference 中國最大的管理資料下載中心 (收集 \整理 . 部分版權(quán)歸原作者所有 ) 第 21 頁 共 36 頁 materials: dictionaries, bibliographies, literature guides, even telephone books. You may use these books only in the reference room itself. The next room is the periodicals room, where you’ll find various newspapers, magazines and academic journals. The current issues are usually directly available to you on the shelves. And you can get an older issue by filling out a slip for the librarian. These items must also be used in this room. This next room contains the card catalogs. All the library’s books are listed here by title, by author and by topic. When you are looking for a book you must write the book’s call number, title and author on these slips and present them with your library card at the desk. The books themselves are kept in the stacks, which are open only to graduate students, faculty members and library staff. Our library has over a million volumes in these stacks which cover five floors. If you have any further questions about using the library, I’d be glad to help you after the tour. Thank you for your attention. Questions 28 to 30 are based on the passage you’ve just heard: 28. What is the main topic of this talk? 29. Who is probably listening to Mr. Britain? 30. Which people are usually not allowed to use the stacks? Today I’m going to discuss transportation and munication in the earty 19th century in the United States. At that time, inland waterways provided North America’s most popular form of long distance transportation. Travel by river was often more convenient than taking a wagon over primitive country roads, especially when shipping heavy loads of farm products or household goods. Where the natural waterways were inadequate, shallow canals were built. The Erie Canal, opened in 1825, connected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River. It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops eastward to New York City at the mouth of the Hudson at a much lower cost. From there, crops could be shipped to other Atlantic ports. The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier. The City of Detroit grew up between two of the Great Lakes. Later a canal joined the Great Lakes with the Mississippi river system and Chicago became a thriving city. Politically the waterway system united the nation in a way few had imagined possible. By the mid— 1800’s faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined. Railroads could be used year round whereas canals were often frozen in the winter. During the first third of the century, however, transportation on rivers, lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of。第一段的主題可為：In the world today, more and more people are interested in sports and games, which have bee part of people’s daily life. 圍繞這個(gè)主題句，可具體列舉出一些人們喜愛從事的體育活動(dòng)，如： swing, running, basketball, football, table tennis and badminton。本題是一篇號(hào)召大家參加體育運(yùn)動(dòng)的論說文。 【詳細(xì) 解答】從文章第一句話 “Icebergs are among nature’s most spectacular creations” 作者說冰山是大自然最壯觀的產(chǎn)物，以及第二段對冰山美麗的描述，說它們是最純粹的美，既幽雅又端莊，為平靜的海面平添了許多激情，可以看出作者對冰山充滿了驚嘆之情。 【詳細(xì)解答】第五段介紹了冰山是如何形成的， “As each year’s snow accumulation lay on the surface, evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes slowly to lose their feathery points and bee tiny grains of ice? With time and pressure from above, the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals, and eventually the 中國最大的管理資料下載中心 (收集 \整理 . 部分版權(quán)歸原作者所有 ) 第 17 頁 共 36 頁 deeper crystals merged into a solid mass of ice.” 說到底，冰山是由雪花經(jīng)過長時(shí)間的堆積而成。 【詳細(xì)解答】文章第 三段介紹了冰山的危險(xiǎn)性，提到 “Most of their bulk is hidden below the water, so their underwater parts may extend out far beyond the visible top. Also, they may roll over unexpectedly, churning the waters around them.” 冰山的大部分都隱藏在水下，只露出一角，而且還容易突然反轉(zhuǎn)形成急流，因此它們很危險(xiǎn)。 【詳細(xì)解答】文章第一段提到 “They e into being somewherein faraway, frigid waters, amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence, which in most cases no one hears or sees.” 冰山形成于遙遠(yuǎn)的地方，故大多數(shù)人都看不到，聽不到。解答此類大意主旨題，需要考生通讀全文才能歸納出文章的大意。 【詳細(xì)解答】文章第一段談到冰山是大自然最壯觀的產(chǎn)物，因其形成和消失都鮮為人知 , 冰山總籠罩著神秘的面紗；第二段提到了冰山的美麗；它們形狀各異，色彩繽紛，是海上一道絢麗的風(fēng)景；第三段介紹了冰山的危險(xiǎn)，因?yàn)樗鼈兇蟛糠侄?隱藏在水下，只露出一角，而且還容易突然反轉(zhuǎn)形成急流；第四段介紹了冰山上的積雪年代久遠(yuǎn)；第五段介紹了冰山是如何形成。冰山上的積雪大多年代久遠(yuǎn)，有的甚至有幾百萬年的歷史，因此冰山是由千年的積雪反復(fù)堆積而形成的冰晶體。 短文大意 冰山是大自然最壯觀的產(chǎn)物，其形成和消失都鮮為人知 , 冰山總籠罩著神秘的面紗，然而它們形狀各異，色彩繽紛，是海上一道絢麗的風(fēng)景。另外 ,根據(jù)上句 ,采取不定式作表語。而動(dòng)名詞作表語時(shí)表示一般的 , 抽象的動(dòng)作。 【試題分析】本題為動(dòng)詞形式的誤用。本句可譯為 :政府為那些買不起房子的人提供住房時(shí)有兩種選擇。 “provide?? to” 表示 “ 為 ?? 提供 ??” 。但英語中 “provide” 后跟指人的名詞或代詞 ,“with” 后跟指 “ 物 ” 的名詞或代詞。 【試題分析】本題是介詞的誤用。本句的意思是 :中國應(yīng)不斷努力來改善社會(huì)保障體系。 beef作動(dòng)詞時(shí) ,是 “ 發(fā)牢騷 。 【試題分析】本題為介詞的漏用。本句意為：企業(yè)應(yīng)該以足夠的住房補(bǔ)貼來代替舊的住房分配制度 ?? 。 【試題分析】本題是介詞的誤用。本句的意思為：國有企業(yè)必須在住房投資和生產(chǎn)投資之間區(qū)別清楚。 own作形容詞時(shí)本身只有 “ 自己的 ” 意思；作動(dòng)詞時(shí)是 “ 擁有 ” 之意。 【試題分析】本題是詞性誤用。本句的意思是：讓這個(gè)股份公司自負(fù)盈虧。 【試題分析】本題是介詞誤用。本句意為：
