Part II Reading Comprehension （15 minutes）

(1)The EarthPower and LightCompared to the rest of the universe, the Earth is very small. Our planet and seven others orbit the Sun, which is only one of about 200 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of the universe, which includes millions of othergalaxies and their stars and planets. By comparison, the Earth is microscopic.Compared to a person, on the other hand, the Earth is enormous. It has a diameter of 7,926 miles ( 12,756 kilometers) at the equator, and it has a mass of about 6 x 1024 kilograms. The Earth orbits the Sun at a speed of about 66,638 miles per hour (29.79 kilometers per second). Don't dwell on those numbers too long, though; to a lot of people, the Earth is inconceivably, mind-bogglingly big. And it's just a fraction of the size of the Sun.From our perspective on Earth, the Sun looks very small. This is because it's about 93 million miles away from us. The Sun's diameter at its equator is about 100 times bigger than Earth's, and about a million Earths could fit inside the Sun. TheSun is inconceivably, mind-bogglingly bigger.But without the Sun, the Earth could not exist. In a sense, the Earth is a giant machine, full of moving parts and complex systems. All those systems need power, and that power comes from the Sun.The Sun is an enormous nuclear power source--through complex reactions, it transforms hydrogen into helium, releasing light and heat. Because of these reactions, every square meter of our planet's surface gets about 342 Watts of energy from the Sun every year. This is about 1.7 ~ 1017 Watts total, or as much as 1.7 billion large power plants could generate. You can learn about how the Sun creates energy in How the Sun Works.When this energy reaches the Earth, it provides power for a variety of reactions, cycles and systems. It drives the circulation of the atmosphere and the oceans. It makes food for plants, which many people and animals eat. Life on Earth could not exist without the Sun, and the planet itself would not have developed without it.To a casual observer, the Sun's most visible contributions to life are light, heat and weather.Night and DaySome of the Sun's biggest impacts on our planet are also its most obvious. As the Earth spins on its axis, parts of the planet are in the Sun while others are in the shade. In other words, the Sun appears to rise and set. The parts of the world that are in daylight get warmer while the parts that are dark gradually lose the heat they absorbed during the day.You can get a sense of how much the Sun affects the Earth's temperature by standing outside on a partly cloudy day.When the Sun is behind a cloud, you feel noticeably cooler than when it isn't. The surface of our planet absorbs this heat from the Sun and emits it the same way that pavement continues to

give off heat in the summer after the Sun goes down. Ouratmosphere does the same thing-it absorbs the heat that the ground emits and sends some of it back to the Earth.The Earth's relationship with the Sun also creates seasons. The Earth's axis tips a little-about 23.5 degrees. One hemisphere points toward the Sun as the other points away. The hemisphere that points toward the Sun is warmer and gets more light--it's summer there, and in the other hemisphere it's winter. This effect is less dramatic near the equator than at the poles, since the equator receives about the same amount of sunlight all year. The poles, on the other hand, receive no sunlight at all during their winter months, which is part of the reason why they're frozen.Most people are so used to the differences between night and day (or summer and winter) that they take them for granted.But these changes in light and temperature have an enormous impact on other systems on our planet. One is the circulation of air through our atmosphere. For example:The Sun shines brightly over the equator. The air gets very warm because the equator faces the Sun directly and because the ozone layer is thinner there.As the air warms, it begins to rise, creating a low pressure system. The higher it rises, the more the air cools. Water condenses as the air cools, creating clouds and rainfall. The air dries out as the rain falls. The result is warm, dry air, relatively high in our atmosphere.Because of the lower air pressure, air rushes toward the equator from the north and south. As it warms, it rises, pushing the dry air away to the north and the south.The dry air sinks as it cools, creating high-pressure areas and deserts to the north and south of the equator.This is just one piece of how the Sun circulates air around the world--ocean currents, weather patterns and other factors also play a part. But in general, air moves from high-pressure to low-pressure areas, much the way that high-pressure air rushes from the mouth of an inflated balloon when you let go. Heat also generally moves from the warmer equator to the cooler poles.Imagine a warm drink sitting on your desk--the air around the drink gets warmer as the drink gets colder. This happens on Earth on an enormous scale.The Coriolis Effect, a product of the Earth's rotation, affects this system as well. It causes large weather systems, like hurricanes, to rotate. It helps create westward-running trade winds near the equator and eastward-running jet streams in the northem and southem hemispheres. These wind patterns move moisture and air from one place to another, creating weather patterns. (The Coriolis Effect works on a large scale--it doesn't really affect the water draining from the sink like some people suppose. )The Sun gets much of the credit for creating both wind and rain. When the Sun warms air in a specific location, that air rises, creating an area of low pressure. More air rushes in from surrounding areas to fill the void, creating wind. Without the Sun, there wouldn't be wind. There also might not be breathable air at all.Water and FireThe Sun has a huge effect'on our water. It warms the oceans around the tropics, and its absence cools the water around the poles. Because of this, ocean currents move large amounts of warm and cold water, drastically affecting the weather andclimate around the world. The Sun also drives the water cycle, which moves about 18,757 cubic miles (495,000 cubic kilometers) of water vapor through the atmosphere every year.If you've ever gotten out of a swimming pool on a hot day and realized a few minutes later that you were dry again, you have firsthand experience with evaporation. If you've seen water form on the side of a cold drink, you've seen condensation inaction. These are primary components of the water cycle, also called the hydrologic cycle, which exchanges moisture between bodies of water and land masses. The water cycle is responsible for clouds and rain as well as our supply of drinking water.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答；填空题部分在答题卡1上。

Reading Comprehension （Reading in Depth）

(1)Questions {TSE}are based on the following passage.Over the last 25 years, British society has changed a great deal--or at least many parts of it have. In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concerned. Ideas about social class--whether a person is \"working- class\" or \"middle-class\"--are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people, such as teachers and doctors. As a result of this and also of the fact that workers' jobs were generally much less secure, distinct differences in life-styles and attitudes came into existence. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her \"housekeeping\浪费) the rest on beer and betting.The stereotype ( 陈腔滥调) of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was—and still is--inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house of these provided him and his family with security. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity (or the education and training) to make such long-term plans.Nowadays, a great deal has changed. In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much, if not more, than their middle-class supervisors. Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about \"tomorrow\". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority they had in the past. In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed(惭愧的)of their position.The changes in both life-styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen amongst younger people. They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music and clothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. Nevertheless, we still have a wide gap between the well-paid (whatever the type of job they may have and the low-paid. As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear,but between different groups.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。{TS}Which of the following is seen as the cause of class differences in the past? A. Life style and occupatio B. Attitude and incom C. Income and job securit D. Job security and hobbie

B. The gap between working-class and middle-class young people is narrowin C. Different in income will remain but those in occupation will disappea D. Middle-class people may sometimes feel inferior to working-class peopl

(6)Questions{TSE}are based on the following passage.If a mother pushes her small son in a swing (秋千), giving only a light force each time he returns, eventually he will be swinging quite high. The child can do this for himself by using his legs to increase the motion, but both the mother's push and the child's leg movements must occur at the proper moment, or the extent of the swing will not increase. In physics, increasing the swing is increasing the amplitude ( 振幅 ); the length of the rope on the swing determines its natural oscillation ( 摆动 ) period. This ability of an object to move periodically or to vibrate when stimulated by a force operating in its natural period is called resonance.Resonance is observed many times without consciously thinking about it; for example, one may find an annoying vibration or shimmy in an automobile, caused by a loose engine mount vibrating with increasing amplitude because of an out- of-round tire. The bulge ( 凸出部分) on the tire slaps the pavement with each revolution; at the natural resonance point of the engine mount, it will begin to vibrate. Such vibrations can result in considerable damage if allowed to persist. Another destructive example of resonance is the shattering of a crystal goblet by the production of a musical tone at the natural resonant point of the goblet. The energy of the sound waves causes vibration in the glass; as its amplitude increases, the motion in the glass exceeds the elasticity of the goblet, and it shatters.An instrument called a tachometer (转速计)

makes use of the principle of resonance. It consists of many tiny bars, loosely fastened together and arranged so that each bar can slide independently of the others. Movement of the bars causes changes in a dial. When placed next to a rotating motor or engine, the tachometer picks up slight vibrations which are transferred to the resonant bars. These bars begin to move, and the resulting dial may be read to find the revolutions per minute of the motor very quickly.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。{TS}An object, if moving rhythmically when stimulated in a natural period, is said to __ A. vibrate B. resonate C. swing D. oscillate

(7)The distance a swing moves from its resting position is called its __ A. revolution B. movement C. frequency D. amplitude

(8)A tachometer is an instrument that uses resonance to determine A. the speed of a motor in revolutions B. the frequency at which a motor vibrates C. the amplitude of an engine that oscillates D. the changes in a dial within a car engine

(9)An annoying vibration can be caused at the natural resonance of the car's engine mount __ A. if the engine moves too fast

B. if the engine's amplitude increases C. if a tire gets out of balance D. if damage occurs in the engine

(10)In which of the following cases is it useful to consider the relationship between the length of an oscillating object and its natural period? A. Adjusting the speed of a ca B. Adjusting a clock pendulu C. Adjusting tire balanc D. Adjusting engine mount

(1)An adult giraffe's head is about six feet above its heart. This means that to 67 enough blood up to the brain the circulatory 68 must be strong enough to keep the blood at very high pressure.Biologists have known for some time that giraffes solve this problem by having 69 high blood pressure, about 70 that of human beings. But an international team of biologists began to 71 about this. If giraffes have such high blood pressure, they should have a 72 problem with swelling in their legs and feet. Why don't giraffeshave swollen feet?Giraffes should have 73 problem, too. Every time they bend heads __7_4__ to drink, the blood should 75 to their heads and have a hard time 76 back up (when the head is down) to the heart. How come giraffes don't black out when they drink?The answer to the 77 feet problem, the researchers found, is that giraffes have 78 the researchers call a \"natural anti-gravity suit\". It 79 out that the skinand other 80 in their legs and feet are 81 stiffer and tougher than those of other 82 . As a result, the blood vessels in the leg cannot swell.Therefore, the blood has nowhere to go but back to the heart. What about blood rushing to the head 83 the giraffe bends down to drink? The researchers found that the giraffe's jugular vein, which 84 blood from the head back to the heart, has lots of one-way valves in it. In the giraffe's neck, there are lots of muscles that flex and relax repeatedly as the animal moves its head and sucks 85 drinking water. By squeezing the valved jugular vein, they 86 blood moving back to the heart even while the animal is drinking.阅读以上文章，回答{TSE}题{TS}请在（67）处填上最佳答案。 A. bring B. produce C. transfer D. pump

Part I Writing（30 minutes） (1) :

Part II Reading Comprehension （15 minutes） (1) :

太阳对地球上万物的生命起着不可缺少的作用，这种作用主要表现在：为地球提供能量与光；地球自转与绕日公转形成昼夜交替与四季交替．同时出现相应的气候与天气变化；对地球上的水、海洋以及与之相关的循环起着至关重要的作用。

A根据题干信息词fit inside the Sun定位到第一个小标题下的第三段第三句„and about a million Earths could fit inside the Sun。本题问，多少个地球才能把一个太阳填满，根据原文表述，100万个(one million)地球才能填满一个太阳，故本题选A。 (2) :

D根据题干信息词developed without定位到第一个小标题下的倒数第：二段末句Life On Earth could not exist without the Sun，and the planet itself would not have developed without it，根据文章表述，如果没有太 阳，地球上的生命将不会存在，地球本身也不会发展到现在，太阳是地球存在发展的条件，题干中的 Earth即指原文中的the planet itself，故本题选D。 (3) :

D根据题干信息词our atmosphere定位到第二个小标题下的第二段末句0ur atmosphere does the same thing-it absorbs the heat that the ground emits and sends some ofit back to the Earth。本题问，大气的作用是什么?根据文章表述，地球吸收来自太阳的热量然后释放，就像夏天里太阳落山后路面还持续放热一样，大气也在做同样的事——吸收地面的热量，然后再把一部分返回到地面，故本题选D。 (4) :

B根据题干信息词the same amount of sunlight定位到第二个小标题下的第三段倒数第二句This effect is... at the poles．since the equator receives about the same amount of sunlight all year，根据文章表述，赤道附近季节交替的变化不如两极那样显著，这是因为一年当中无论何时赤道所接收的太阳光都是没有变化的，与此相反，两极地区在冬季根本接收不到一点阳光，这也是那里为什么冰冻的原因，故本题选B。 (5) :

C根据题干信息词air rushes和the equator定位到第二个小标题下的第七段首句Because of the lower air pressure, air rushes toward the equator from the north and south。根据文章表述，由于气压较低，空气从南 北部涌向赤道，在变暖的过程中上升，把干燥的空气推向南部和北

中大网校引领成功职业人生

部，故本题选C。 (6) :

C根据题干信息词the Coriolis Effect定位到第二个小标题下的倒数第二段，根据文章表述，科里奥利效应作为地球上循环运动的产物，也影响着该系统，它能导致大规模的天气变化，如飓风、赤道附近的向西信风、南北半球的向东高速气流，由此可以排除A、B、D三项，故本题选C。 (7) :

A根据题干信息词the Sun和create定位到第二个小标题下的最后一段首句The Sun gets much of the credit for creating both wind and rain。根据文章表述，太阳的一个重要作用是制造风和雨，has closely relation与gets much of the credit属同义转换，选项中没有rain，符合题干的只有wind，故本题选A。 (8) :

文章指出，过去25年问，英国社会发生了很大的变化，但在态度以及对社会阶级的观念方面变化不大。

文章介绍了过去人们对工人阶级和中产阶级的看法，并指出，尽管工人阶级的生活水平有了显著提高，但高收入者和低收入者之间仍存在鸿沟。

信息明示题。本题问过去阶级差别的原因。文章第一一段指出，在最近25年里，英国社会有了很大改变，但是在态度方面几乎没有转变。接着第二段开始具体说明过去工人阶级的状况，首先就是收入较低，因此本题选B。其他选项中的security在第二段中的描述是工人工作的实际状态，而life style，hobbies都是收入较低而导致的结果，因此都不正确。 (2) :A

信息明示题。在第二段的最后提到工人阶级花钱的方式，他们在给了妻子家用的开销后，就会把一周的其余收入在周五晚上挥霍到啤酒和之中。而在第三段的首句就看出，中产阶级的人处理钱的方式可能更接近事实。接下来详细说明了中产阶级是如何处理钱的，他们的眼光更为长远，认为买房可以给他和家人提供安全感。而工人阶级很少有人能够有这样的长远汁划，因此本题选A。 (3) :D

综合推断题。本题是一个反向题，要求找出哪项不是中产阶级的典型特点。从第三段中产阶级通过买房获得安全感可以看出，他们是希望寻求安全感的，因此排除A。第三段提到中产阶级眼光长远，最后也指出工人阶级很少有这样的长远计划，因此排除B。丽选项C在文章一开始就有提及，人们对待工人阶级和中产阶级的态度是不同的，第四段中间也提到工人阶级逐渐失去过去那种自卑感。而文中并没有强调中产阶级就不存钱，因此选D。 (4) :D

综合推断题。本题也是反向题，要求选出非事实。倒数第二段指出，现在的情况有了很大转变。很多情况下，工人和中产阶级的管理人员挣得„样多，社会安全保障也提高了，没有必要再像以前那样为“明天”而担心。由此可以推断出，更好的社会安全感、更多的工作机会、更高的生活标准都是工人阶级安全感提高的事实原因。而文中并没有特别说明工人的法律保护问题，因此选D。 (5) :A

综合推断题。本题要求找出不正确的说法，可以采用排除法。最后一段的第二句指出，他们(工人阶级和中产阶级的年轻人)在音乐欣赏和选择服装的品味方面都很相似，他们花钱娱乐，同时如果必要的话，也都会为度假和长远计划而存钱，故B正确。接着话锋一转，收入的差别还是存在的，只要这种差距还存在，就会有新的冲突和嫉妒出现，甚至还会出现以前的那些冲突，因此C也是正确的。选项D在文中的倒数第二段最后一句有提及，在近几年中产阶级甚至有点为他们的处境而感到羞愧，因此D也是正确的。故本题选A。 (6) :B 本文讲了物理学的现象——共振。文章首先通过秋千讲了共振是如何发挥作用的，接着讲述了共振的原理及其在现实生活中的应用。

语义题。第一段的最后一句是这样定义的，物体在自然周期内受到力推动的作用下，产生周期性的运动或摆动，称为共振，因此本题选B。题干中的rhythmically意为“有节奏地”，其意思正好与文中的periodically(周期性地)相对应。 (7) :D

语义题。本题考查的是对词义的理解。第一段的倒数第二句解释到，在物理学上，增加秋千

中大网校 “十佳网络教育机构”、 “十佳职业培训机构” 网址：www.wangxiao.cn

中大网校引领成功职业人生

的摆动就是增加振幅，摇摆的绳子长度决定了它的自然摆动周期。因此本题选D，秋千从静止位置开始运动的距离称为振幅。A项的意思是“旋转，运行”，而B表示“运动”，C为“频率”，显然都不符合题意。 (8) :A

综合推断题。本文最后一段主要介绍的是转速计，转速计运用的是共振原理，它出很多小的转轴构成，每一个转轴都于其他转轴滑动。这些转轴的运动引起在刻度盘上的变化。把转速计放置在旋转的发动机或引擎旁边，转速汁就开始微微振动，并传输到共振转轴。这些转轴开始振荡后，很快就可以通过阅读刻度盘来了解发动机每分钟旋转的数了，因此本题选A，发动机旋转的速度。本题的关键是要理解这个转速计的原理。 (9) :C

息明示题。题干的主语all annoying vibration可以在文章第二段找到，说的是由于轮胎不圆，振幅不断增大，引擎悬置脚在振荡中松动，这样就导致了汽车的反常振动或震颤。车胎上凸出的地方随着轮胎的转动拍打地面，当到了引擎悬置脚的共振点时，就会振动，可见本题选C，如果轮胎变形，就会导致汽车引擎脚的自然谐振反常振动。干扰项B说的是引擎的振幅增加，是错误选项。 (10) :B

综合推断题。本题要求找出能说明振荡物体长度和自然周期之间关系的例子。本题其实凭借基本的物理知识就能选出B(钟摆)。文中第一段也有提及，秋千绳子的长度决定着它的自然摆动周期。比较类似的情况就是钟摆，而汽车速度、轮胎形状和引擎悬置脚，物体本身的长度和周期之间都不能说明这种关系，因此都可以排除。 PartIV Cloze（15 minutes） (1) :D

文章指出，长颈鹿的头在心脏以上6英尺高的地方，所以生物学家认为长颈鹿的血压非常高。但是一个国际生物学家小组对此表示怀疑。通过研究发现，长颈鹿腿和脚的皮肤和组织非常坚硬，能使血液流回心脏而使腿和脚不会肿胀。他们还发现长颈鹿的颈静脉有许多单方向的阀门，这使得血液能够流回到心脏。

词义辨析题。文章第一句就指出，成年长颈鹿的脑袋在心脏以上6英尺高的地方。空格所在句子意思是：这意味着，要______足够的血液到大脑，循环_______必须足够强壮才能保持血液有很强的压力。pump除了表示“用泵抽”之意，还可以表示“(用泵拉取)注入”，符合句意，所以D正确。 (2) :B

词义辨析题。由空格所在句意可知，空格处是指长颈鹿的循环系统，所以B正确。 (3) :A

词义辨析题。根据空格前面句子意思可知，空格处应该是一个表示倍数的词。double名词表示“两倍”，符合句意，所以选C。前面提到长颈鹿的血压很高，所以排除A；multiple只是指“倍数，若干”，但是没有说明是多少倍，所以排除。 (5) :B

词义辨析题。空格所在句子句首的but表示转折，说明句子内容与前面提到的内容不同，选项中只有wonder一词可以表达这种不同，即“一个国际生物学家小组对此表示怀疑”，所以B正确。 (6) :A

词义辨析题。空格所在句意为：如果长颈鹿的血压有这么高，那么它们会有的问题。选项中

词义辨析题。通读第三段可知，该段是在讲长颈鹿血压很高的话为什么喝水时不会晕倒这个问题，所以该空格所在句子意思是“长颈鹿还应该有另一个问题”，而不是“有其他问题”，所以D正确，排除A。 (8) :B

词义辨析题。根据常识可知，长颈鹿要把头低下来喝水，所以B正确。 (9) :D

词义辨析题。本句意思是长颈鹿低头喝水时，血液应该_______到大脑。rush意为“冲；急流”，符合句意，所以D正确。crush意为“压碎”，brush意为“刷”，push意为“推动”。 (10) :C

词义辨析题。根据句意可知，长颈鹿头低下的时候，血液流回到心脏比较困难，所以C正确。return作不及物动词时虽然也可以表示“返回”，但它本身已经包含back的含义，所以排除。 (11) :B

词义辨析题。联系上下文可知，如果长颈鹿血压很高，那么它们会有腿部肿胀的问题，空格所在句子就是指长颈鹿对于腿部肿胀问题的解决，所以B正确。原文第二段已经出现swollen feet这一表达，根据原词复现的原理也可知本题选B。 (12) :A

语法结构题。空格为所在句子从句的引导词，在从句中作宾语，所以A正确。 (13) :D

惯用搭配题。选项中能与out搭配的词有figure和turn，figure out表示“计算出；解决”，不合句意，排除；turnout表示“证实；发觉是”，符合句意，所以D正确。reveal意为“揭示”，indicate意为“指出”。 (14) :A

词义辨析题。空格前的and说明空格处的词和skin并列，句意为“它们腿和脚上的皮肤和其他________”。tissue意为“组织”，符合句意，所以A正确。vessel意为“血管”，pore意为“小孔”，organ意为“器官”。 (15) :C

语法结构题。空格后为两个形容词比较级，由此可知空格应该是能够修饰形容词比较级的词，结合句意可知长颈鹿腿和脚的皮肤和其他组织更坚硬，所以much符合句意，C正确。 (16) :B

词义辨析题。由空格前的than可知，是拿长颈鹿和其他动物做比较，所以B正确。 (17) :A

of which the lack of water is not the only one

依照给出的中文，可译为the lack of water is not the only problem，但已给出的英文部分已经是个完整的句子，所以译文应以从句的形式出现。缺水是many problems中的一个问题，故使用表示所属关系的of+which结构来引导。缺水也可译为water shortage。 (2) :

will have risen l will rise t0 500 tons per month rise和raise都可指“升高，增长”，前者为不及物动词，后者为及物动词。本句为主谓结构，故用不及物动词rise。by引起的时间状语表示了动作的截止点，意为“不迟于”，所以主句一般是完成时态，当然也可用将来时态。 (3) :

on having enough money to enjoy themselves outside put emphasis on/upon是固定短语，意为“强调，注重”，后接名词或动名词。 (4) :

Don’t forget to ask your elder sister to buy some steak in the supermarket动词forget后面可以跟动词不定式，也可以跟动词的．ing形式。前者意为“不要忘了去做某事”，即动作还没有发生；后者意为“不要忘了做过某事”，即动作已经发生。由于本句中的动作还没有发生，所以应用forget+动词不定式的形式。 (5) :
