part of that.in sweden,parents dont end up paying large amounts of money for their childrens education.from kindergarten to university its completely free.about one-third of all young swedes go on to higher education.“sweden makes me think there is such a thing as a free lunch,”said lilyan yu,who graduated from blekinge institute of technology two years ago.yu was treated like a swedish student and didnt pay tuition.she only had to pay for housing and foodaround 2,000 yuan for an apartment on campus and 1,000 yuan per month for food.the free education has attracted many asian students,and an influx in recent years has put great pressure on the education system.the swedish government has been told by college teachers that they need to make non-european union students pay tuition.some say that its not fair to provide a free education for students from countries that dont reciprocate(互惠).swedish students have to pay tuition in china,but chinese dont pay in sweden.denmark was the first of three scandinavian countries(denmark,sweden,norway)to start charging tuition for non-european union students.1.some college teachers suggest that .a.the government should attract more students to study in swedenb.excellent students should be given more rights to study in swedenc.all young students should receive higher educationd.non-european union students should be made to pay tuition提示:细节理解题。根据第三段可知,学生增多的压力引起了大学教师的担忧,他们主张对非欧盟学生收费。答案:d2.we can infer from the passage that .a.many asian students have been attracted to sweden for its free educationb.lilyan yu was treated as a non-european union student during her campus daysc.sweden and china do not follow a mutually reciprocating policyd.norway started to charge non-european union students last september提示:推理判断题。由文章第四段第一句可知,其他国家和瑞典在教育上没有遵循互惠互利的原则。本段下文举例说瑞典学生在中国上学要交学费,而中国学生在瑞典则接受免费教育,由此可推知中瑞两国在教育上没有遵循互惠互利原则。a项为文章事实内容,不需要推断即可得知;b、d两项均与文章不相符,可排除。答案:c3.the best title for this passage would be .a.a chinese student in swedenb.education,almost a free lunch in swedenc.the good social welfare system in swedend.sweden,a great country in europe提示:主旨大意题。文章主要谈瑞典的免费教育制度。答案:bbas you are soon on your way to eastern europe,here are a few tips on what you should pack.in general,pack lightly,with only the most basic clothes.people dress casually(随便地)in eastern europe,so you dont need to bring along your smartest clothing.at the risk of going against our own advice by weighing down your luggage,we suggest you consider bringing along the following things,which we found particularly useful in eastern europe.batteries:if your camera,flash,or other appliances run on batteries,bring enough supply along.certain types of batteries dont exist in eastern europe,and those that do often dont last very long.calculators:many travellers find it useful to figure out foreign exchange rates on a calculator.we suggest a credit card calculator that fits into your wallet or purse.cash:we have found it good to have a supply of small unit u.s.bills($1 and $5)to use in hard-currency(硬通货)stores,to buy international train tickets,etc.the hard-currency stores never seem to have the right change,and thus you may lose out without some “pretty cash” in hand.electric current adapters:if you bring any appliances,remember that the electricity in eastern europe uses 220 volts a.c.,not the standard 110 volts of north america.a 110-volt appliance will soon burn out when attached to an uncharged 220-volt plug.get in touch with the franzus company,352 park ave,south,new york,ny 10010(tel.212/889-5850),and ask for their booklet,“foreign electricity is no dark secret”.language tools:one of europes big challenges is communicating with the local people,since their language is so different from our own.to help overcome difficulties,you might buy phrasebooks before you goyou wont find them useful once you are in eastern europe.if you are interested in learning an eastern european language in more detail,we recommend the tape course produced by audio forum.in each course you listen to native speakers on a tape and follow along in a textbook.you can ask audio forum for their catalog(目录)at broad st.guilford,ct 06437(tel.toll free 800/243-1234).money belts:a money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents(证件)to carry around(as you always do in eastern europe).the best one we found is made by eagle greek travel gear,143 cedros ave.(p.o.box 651),solona beach,ca 92075(tel.619/755-9399,or toll free 800/874-9925)outside california.travellers checks:these are necessary.bring your travellers checks in small to medium unit($10,$20,or $50)to change a little bit at a time,so as not to be left with a lot of local money.to be on the safe side,be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places,just in case something happens to the checks.4.the writer suggests that when you go to eastern europe,you only need to bring your .a.smart clothingb.everyday clothingc.formal suitd.sportswear提示:细节理解题。题干指“作者建议当你去东欧时,你只需要带你的”。本题从文章第一段中的“themostbasicclothes”便可得知b项为正确答案。答案:b5.which of the following mentioned in the passage is about money matters?a.cash and travellers checks.b.money belts,language and tools.c.cash and electric current adapters.d.batteries and other electric appliances.提示:细节理解题。题干的意思是“有关钱的事,短文中提到了哪几项?”只有选项a是“现金和旅行者的支票”,都是有关钱的事项。答案:a6.eagle creek travel gear is a company producing .a.calculatorsb.tapesc.electric current adaptersd.money belts提示:细节理解题。在做这类题的时候,可以根据上下文找到相关的内容。由moneybelts一段的前两句可知。答案:d7.the passage is probably taken from .a.a bank noticeb.a holiday advertisementc.a travellers guided.an electrical safety booklet提示:主旨大意题。由本文第一段可知作者在给我们一些去东欧旅游的建议,这篇短文都是讲述旅行方面的内容,故c项为正确答案。答案:ccits not uncommon in america for a person to belong to some kind of volunteer group.donating ones time and services is very much a part of the american way of life.much of this charitable activities is organized by churches and civic groups around the nation and even encouraged by the government.the helping hand is extended to the poor,the homeless.volunteers are also sought to take care of the disabled by making reading tapes for the blind and working in orphanages(孤儿院)to help children without parents.it appears that this willingness to give and share without calculating the cost becomes most,evident around the holiday season when a spirit of goodwill extends deep into the hearts of all people.high school students are often encouraged to become volunteers and many school club activities center around volunteer services.students may work with disabled children during a summer program,or participate in a club activity which helps to bring meals to senior citizens who are shut-ins.with their sense of idealism(理想主义)students are often eager to donate their spare time.they see such activities as a way of becoming involved in the community and the adult world.social action for them becomes as important as their academic studies.in a like manner,throughout the year,fund raising drives are conducted by schools and community groups to raise money for a designated worthy cause.dance marathons and church bazaars(义卖)help to gather a group around a needy project to gather funds.they may respond to a recent earthquake in a foreign country,a flood somewhere within their own,or another natural disaster which has left people destitute and homeless.they may organize drives to collect food,clothing and medicines to serve an immediate need.today even the halloween custom of “trick or treat” has become an occasion to collect money for a charitable cause.this call to assist those less fortunate than themselves arises from the humble origins of the american nation.those immigrants who were poor and downtrodden(受压迫的)became dependent on the kindness of neighbors make a new life for themselves.volunteers work throughout the world in less developed countries helping local government in fields as diverse as education,agriculture and animal husbandry(畜牧业).they volunteer by serving as a champion of goodwill both at home and abroad,which no doubt enriches both his life and those whom he serves.8.it can be learned from paragraph 1 that .a.large numbers of people are in need of helpb.the charitable activity is often organized by the governmentc.its common for americans to do voluntary workd.the american way of life is mainly to help others提示:推理判断题。根据第一段中的第一句“itsnotuncommoninamericaforapersontobelongtosomekindofvolunteergroup.”得出答案。本段中下面的内容都是围绕这句话展开的。答案:c9.what can students benefit from volunteering?a.gaining some social experience.b.becoming rich and famous.c.knowing some experienced adults.d.improving their academic studies.提示:事实细节题。根据第三段中的“theyseesuchactivitiesasawayofbecominginvolvedinthecommunityandtheadultworld.socialactionforthembecomesasimportantastheiracademicstudies.”可知,学生通过做志愿者工作,可获得丰富的社会经验。答案:a10.the underlined word “destitute” in paragraph 4 probably means .a.lifelessb.uselessc.worthlessd.penniless提示:词义猜测题。根据画线单词前的灾难以及其后的homeless,可推断画线单词的意思是“身无分文的”,故正确答案为d项。答案:d11.where does the call to assist those less fortunate arise from in the usa?a.its rich natural resources.b.its nations kindness.c.the humble origins of the american nation.d.its rapid development of technology and economy.提示:事实细节题。根据第五段中的第一句“thiscalltoassistthoselessfortunatethanthemselvesarisesfromthehumbleoriginsoftheamericannation.”可得出正确答案为c项。答案:cdmore than 20 years ago,a little girl named amy had leukemia(白血病).her family,knowing of amys longing to visit the theme parks in orlando,florida,contacted respected hotelier henry landwirth to ask for a free stay at one of his hotels so they could bring amy there to achieve her dream.as he had done many times before,landwirth gladly welcomed them to come and stay,but sadly,the trip took too long to arrange and amy died before her dream was realized.as a result,landwirth vowed(发誓)to himself that never again would a seriously ill child go without realizing their dreams.landwirth himself knew what it was like for a child to endure sadness and suffering.born in belgium,henry and his family were separated during world war and he spent five of his teenage years in the nazi death and labor camps.by the end of the war,his parents had both been killed,but he and his twin sister survived and were reunited.he found his way to america,where he served time in the army and then found a job at a hotel in fort lauderdale.from that first job,landwirth worked his way upward through the hotel industry,learning every step of the way,and for the next 50 years he developed a successful,innovative(创新的)hotel industry career.when amy died without realizing her dream,landwirth immediately enlisted the support of colleagues in the hospitality industry and asked for their help in developing a program to bring special families to central florida within 24 hours if need be,to help critically ill children live out their dreams.he called the project “give kids the world” because that was what he wanted to accomplishprovide memorable,joyful experiences to sick children and their families at no cost to them.as the program grew larger and the numbers of families increased,give kids the world needed to create a specific location to better serve the needs of the visitors to the program.so the gates of give kids the world village opened in 1989.the village is a 70-acre resort that is home to more than 100 villa residences(别墅),entertainment venues,and fun attractions specifically designed for children with special needs.give kids the world is a non-profit organization that is helped by many generous individuals,corporations,and other wish-granting organizations.since 1986 the organization has welcomed more than 93,000 families from all 50 states and more than 65 countries.the mission of give kids the world is a simple and straightforward oneto give children a week full of smiles,endless laughter,and dreams come true,and to never turn a child away.through the tireless support of volunteers,employees,and generous partners,give kids the world devotes each and every day to these special families.12.it can be inferred from the first paragraph that .a.amys death was directly related to landwirthb.amys dream failed partly because of landwirthc.landwirth felt sad and guilty about amys deathd.amy died on the way to orlando提示:推理判断题。根据第一段“.butsadly,thetriptooktoolongtoarrangeandamydiedbeforeherdreamwasrealized”可推断amy的愿望未能实现在一定程度上和henrylandwirth有关,故选b项。答案:b13.the purpose of the second paragraph is to .a.describe the family of landwirthb.show the hard life of landwirthc.prove the great determination of landwirthd.introduce the reason why landwirth wanted to help poor kids提示:推理判断题。根据第二段的“asaresult,landwirthvowed(发誓)tohimselfthatneveragainwouldaseriouslyillchildgowithoutrealizingtheirdreams.landwirthhimselfknewwhatitwaslikeforachildtoenduresadnessandsuffering.”可知,该段介绍henrylandwirth艰苦的过去是为了说明他理解那些可怜的孩子的苦处并决心帮他们实现离开人世前的梦想,故才得以建立givekidstheworld。答案:d14.henry landwirth developed his program in order to .a.bring in profits by attracting tourists to his theme parkb.spread his fame and become known all over the worldc.supply special families with unforgettable experiencesd.be in memory of his own past sadness and

orlandod.requirements of having a trip abroad with relatives提示:词义猜测题。结合第一段所介绍的amy的梦想以及第三段的“.providememorable,joyfulexperiencestosickchildrenandtheirfamiliesatnocosttothem”可判断正确答案为b项。答案:b第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。16scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children,though nobody knows why this is the case.the ridge(隆起) structure on a persons fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries.burns,cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by a new one,which bears a reproduction of the original pattern.17some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.finger-prints can be made very easily with printers ink.they can be recorded easily.18because of the simplicity and economy of this system,finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case.a suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain.19when a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime,they are difficult to detect with the naked eye.20 some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.a.special techniques are used to “develop” them.b.a fingerprint is an impression of the friction ridges of all parts of the finger.c.it is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed.d.with special methods,identification can be achieved successfully within a short time.e.a latent print is the chance reproduction of the friction ridges deposited on the surface of an item.f.his finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.g.every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable.答案:1620
