第二部分 英语知识运用

参考译文

大多数年轻人都喜欢体育运动，散步、骑自行车、足球或是登山。

这些热爱攀登既高又费力的山峰的登山者们经常令人感到惊奇。为什么人们愿意经受严寒和困难去高高的山上冒险呢?这种惊奇很可能是由登山与人们从事的其他休闲运动之间的差别引起的。

不同于高尔夫球和足球这样的游戏活动，没有人为登山制定规则。当然，登山有不同种类的规定。不遵守这些规定，登山就会很危险。正是由于不受人为制定规则的制约，登山吸引了很多人。登山者可以自由地使用自己的方法。

如果把登山和其他我们熟悉的体育运动做比较，我们可能会认为它们之间一个很大的不同就是登山不是一项“集体运动”。要是这样想那我们就错了。确实，登山队伍之间没有竞争比赛，但是当登山者们处于岩石表面，他们的生命系于这根绳索之上时，很明显这就是团队合作。登山者清楚他必须同比人类更强大更有力的自然力量做斗争。他从事的体育项目要求他具备很高的心理和身体素质。

登山者可以年复一年地不断提高技能。一个滑雪者可能在30岁时就过了竞技的黄金年龄，大多数国际网球冠军是刚刚20出头。然而五六十岁的人登上阿尔卑斯山脉中的最高峰却一点也不稀奇。他们也许比年轻人要付出更多的时间，但他们技巧更加娴熟，省了不少体力。当然.他们会享受到同样多的乐趣。

答案及解析

26.A【解析】此题考查词语搭配。have a passion for sth.为固定搭配，

意为“对…有强烈的感情、爱好”。

27.D【解析】此题考查动词短语的搭配和对文意的理解。A项look up to意为“仰慕，尊敬(某人)”;B项look forward意为“期待，盼望”，与介词t0搭配;C项look in to意为“调查(问题、罪行等)”;只有D项look upon(又作look on)有“把…看作，把…视为”之意，符合原文的意思。

28.A 【解析】此题考查对上下文的理解。A项willing意为“愿意的”，前一句话已表明人们热爱攀登高山险山，根据上下文推测，此处应为“愿意的”。

29.C【解析】此题考查短语辨析和对文意的理解。B项run risk意为“冒险”，有被动地处于危险之中的意思;C项takea risk也为“冒险”之意。但不同于B项，这里有明知道有危险也要主动去冒险的意思。根据上下文推测，既然登山者愿意遭受严寒克服困难，应该是主动去冒险。

30.A【解析】9ive leisure to sth.的意思是“把空闲时间用于…”。

31.D【解析】此句的意思是“像高尔夫和足球那样的游戏”，因为词性不同，当修饰单数名词时，S0的用法是SO+adj.+a(神+n.如so tall a man;而such的用法是such+a(n)+adj.+n.，如suchabeautiful girl。因此选D。

32.C【解析】此句意为“不遵守规定登山会很危险”。C项ignore为“忽视，不理”，最符合题意。

33.B【解析】此题考查对语法句型的掌握。“It is…that…”为强调句型。

34.A【解析】此题考查对文意的理解。文中的意思是“登山者们自由地选择登山方法”，故选择A项。.

35.D【解析】此题考查词义辨析。C项compare with意为“与…比较”;D项contrast with意为“对比，对照”，指比较某一物与另一物，以显出它们相异之处，出现明显的差别。此句后面有“one bigdifference”。故选D项。

36.D【解析】连词that引导的从句作系动词is的表语。可根据选项的词性和其在句子中作的语法成分进行分析。

37.D【解析】此题考查介词的用法。D项between意为“在…之间，”句意为“登山队伍之间没有竞争比赛，这是事实”。”

38.C【解析】此题考查词义辨析。depend on sb.or sth.指“需要某人或某物的支持和帮助”，文章的意思是“他们的生命取决于一根绳索”。且depend与介词on搭配。

39.D【解析】此题考查词义辨析。A，C，D项都有“力量”之意。但strength强调“力量的强度”;power指“运用能力或是体力和脑力来做某事”;force指“实施力量，产生行动或是征服对手”，最符合题意。

40.B【解析】这里与mental“智力的”相对应的应为physical“体力的”。

41.B【解析】此题考查对文意的理解。根据此句后面的yearafter year，此处应选有“持续”之意的动词B项。

42.C【解析】系动词be+in+one’s twenties表示“在某人二十多岁时”。因为主语是名词复数，故选C。

43.A【解析】此题考查词义辨析和对文意的理解。A项unusual意为“不寻常的”，根据上下文，双重否定表示肯定。

44.D【解析】根据对上下文的理解。爬山者年龄大应该“使用更多的时间”。

45.D【解析】A项shortage意为“短缺”;D项waste意为“浪费”。此处指保存体力，不浪费体力。

参考译文

美国准备着迎接世界上最大的足球盛宴，他们有史以来第一次承办了世界杯。当全世界有数以百万计的人在踢足球时，这项运动在美国才刚刚火热起来。大批美国青年人对足球感兴趣还是最近30年的事。但现在它是美国发展最快的运动。一项最近的调查显示大约有一千八百万的美国青年男女踢足球。

这项调查同样表明，足球已经开始代替更多的传统运动，比如橄榄球，成为学生当中最流行的运动。因此，世界杯下周开赛时预计去看球的美国人超过一百万。主办方声称这一届的世界杯会成为历史上最盛大的一届。52场比赛中大部分场次的座位已全部售完。

足球在美国仅仅有一百多年的历史，但这项运动是怎样流传到这个国家的?足球在世界其他地方存在多久了?没有人确切地知道足球是从哪里起源或是人们从什么时候开始踢足球。某些科学家表示，有证据证明用脚玩的球类运动几千年前就有了。现在也有证据显示古希腊、古罗马和美国土著印第安人玩类似于足球的运动。

大部分专家都承认英国是现代足球的发源地，他们同样也认为英国把足球传播到了世界各地。不同的是，现在比赛中用的足球是人造材料或是皮革质地，而过去使用的球常常是用动物的胃做的。早期足球比赛的规则也与现在有所不同。

答案及解析

46.C【解析】是非题。见文中第一段第五句提到，足球在美国是发展最快的运动，但没有说在世界范围内是发展最快的运动。故选C。

47.B【解析】细节题。见第二段第一句，“…soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like Americanfootball as the most popular sport among students.”可知“American football”是在青少年中最为流行的传统运动。故选B。

48.A【解析】细节题。见第三段第一句话。

49.B【解析】细节题。见最后一段第一句，英国是现代足球的发明者。

50.B【精析】推理题。文中最后一段讲述了英国足球是现代足球的发明国，接下来就应该介绍一下足球在英国的发展才符合逻辑。故选B。

一个家庭的内聚力似乎要依靠家庭成员们一起做一些常规的事情来维系。然而由于美国劳动力人数的增多，在非正常工作时间的轮班工作，也就是我们通常所说的“换班工作”，使家庭生活面临困境。

现有的调查表明男性和女性的倒班工人都承认压力很大，工作和家庭生活的需求相互冲突。但是，从事换班工作的夫妇们仍然保持着对婚姻的意义和夫妻各自责任的传统观念。他们表示仍然愿意“不惜一切代价”实现他们认为正常的婚姻生活，譬如牺牲睡眠时间或是在非常规的时间去做一些惯例的事情。大多数接受采访的夫妇，甚至是那些妻子在外工作的家庭都认为，正常家庭生活的显著特点还是清楚的分工：丈夫是家庭的“支撑者”，他们主要的责任是养活全家，而妻子仍然是“主妇”，她们负责打扫、做饭、照顾丈夫和孩子。

以下是一个妻子对“好丈夫”的定义，这代表了所有女人的看法：

我希望他能养家。在我需要的时候陪在我身边，和我热衷于相同的事物。希望他也愿意支配我，就像我期望的那样。这么说吧，在需要他表现得像个男人的时候，我希望他挺身而出，而不是坐视不管，却想让我去处理一切。

丈夫们眼中的好妻子是这样的：

她要理解我在工作中的感受。我需要在工作时受尊重，我希望能在工作中找到受尊重的感觉。我要我的妻子明白我对工作的期望。我可不想每天下班回家的时候，她唠叨个没完，因为我也不知道这是否有意义。以上的观点对于维护那些轮班工作的夫妻家庭是至关重要的。参考译文

54.D【解析】联系全文，知A、B、c三项均正确。

你是否发现早上起床很困难甚至有点痛苦?这也许可以被称作懒惰，但克莱特曼博士有一种新的解释，他已证明每个人都有一个每目的能量周期。

工作的时候，你可能会说你很“热”。没错!一天当中你觉得精力最为充沛的时候就是你的体温周期达到高峰的时候。对一些人来说，这一高峰会在午前到来。而对另一些人来说，则到下午或是晚上才来到。还没有人知道为什么会这样，但大家都能听到那种很熟悉的自言自语，如“该起床了，彼得!上班又要迟到了!”对这种烦恼可能性的解释就是彼得的体温与能量高峰在晚上到来。当夫妇们了解到能量周期的内容，并知晓每个家庭成员的能量周期时，诸多家庭争端才能结束。

你无法改变你的能量周期，但你可以使你的生活习惯更加适应它。克莱特曼博士认为习惯是有帮助的。也许你晚上很困，但你觉得无论如何都得熬夜。习惯性地延迟睡觉时间可以在一定程度上对抗你的周期。如果你早上能量低，但在一大清早有件很重要的工作要做，那就比平时早些起床。这样做不会改变你的周期。但你可以在能量低的时候鼓起干劲，更好地工作。

慢慢地开始一天的工作有助于节约能量。起床时放松地打个哈欠，伸伸懒腰。在床边坐一会儿再下地。前一天晚上把干净衣服放好，这样就不用手忙脚乱地到处乱翻。尽可能在下午做常规工作，把需要更多能量与注意力的任务留到最佳状态的时候来处理。

59.A【解析】见最后一段的第一行。，

60.B【解析】文章开头提到克莱特曼博士有一种新的解释，证明每个人都有一个每日的能量周期，但是后文也提到了没人能解释这种现象。

下面几段文字谈论了气候的变迁情况及各自对比的观点。詹尼弗：

温室效应可能是造成这种变化的原因，但是这是一个追溯到100年前的循环，并且在过去的20年左右里，这种循环停止了，这只影响了世界的一小部分，人们谈论温室效应是因为他们想显示自己有多关心世界的未来，不要像这些人一样愚蠢。

凯乐：

春天也来到这里了，这多美啊——打开窗户，换季的新鲜空气使我

快乐。在我更小一些的时候，这个季节里我常常踩着正在融化的冰雪，走过路边，穿过田间大片大片的树林，呆在野外我是如此的兴奋。一年中的这个季节呆在城市里是很难受的，或许我应该马上去露营。

索西娅：

在城市里，没有四季的变换，春雨不会使人工建筑生长，潮湿的路面也不会使你不便，因为你坐在车里移动，夏热不再是问题，空调使你的房间像秋天一样凉爽。城市的颜色也不会变化，因为自然的力量不足以像改变树林的颜色那样来改变城市。冬雪没有使任何东西变白，留下的只是泥泞的道路。

哈诺：

佐治亚下雪是很有趣的事情，就像上个礼拜，电视上每天有24小时天气预报：就因为可能会下雪。因为这些预告，学校停课了，到最后却只下了雨。但是如果坚持到底的话，规则就是取消上课了，这是放假的好借口。人们涌向杂货店去买牛奶和面包——我不知道为什么，但是他们这样做了。在我成长的时候，这里每年要下1—2场大雪，但是近几年却没有下过一场。该死的全球变暖!

麦克兰：

那多漂亮啊，我坚信在2月份我们拥有像秋天11月份那样凉爽的天气，从我的孩提时代起，二月份这个温暖的时期变得一年比一年强，一年比一年长，这个时期最终在3月至少一次的暴风雪之中结束，但是任何一个人都会熬过这些暴风雪，因为我们都知道它们只会持续几天。

Part B67. 范文From the graph, we can see that there were two peaks of accidents in

2007. One was in March with the number of 35. The other was in August withthe number of 42, which was the highest point of the distribution line. FromAugust on, the number of car accidents had been decreasing till it reached thelowest point of the year in December.

There were several possible reasons for the distribution of car accidents.First, weather might have played an important role. Two peaks occurred inspring and summer, the two seasons which had most of the year’s rain. Drivingtends to be more dangerous in rainy days. Second, people might have beenalerted by the high number of accidents in March and Au-gust, hence less andless accidents in later months.
