Ireland’s

the

Best

Ireland

is

the

best

place

in

the

world

to

live

in

for

2005．according

to

a

life

quality

ranking

that

appeared

in

Britain’s

Economist

magazine

last

week．

The

ambitious

attempt

to

compare

happiness

levels

around

the

world

is

based

on

the

principle

that

wealth

is

not

the

only

measure

of

human

satisfaction

and

well-being．

The

index

of

111countries

uses

data

on

incomes,health,unemployment,climate,political

stability,job

security，gender

equality

as

well

as

what

the

magazine

calls“freedom，family

and

community

1ife”

Despite

the

bad

weather,

troubled

health

service，traffic

congestion(拥挤)，gender

inequality

and

the

high

cost

of

living．Ireland

scored

an

impressive

8．33

troubled

by

political

insecurity

and

hunger,

is

rated

the

gloomiest(最差的)，picking

up

only

3．89points．

“Although

rising

incomes

and

increased

individual

choices

are

highly

valued．”the

report

said，"some

of

the

factors

associated

with

modernization

such

as

the

breakdown(崩溃)in

traditional

institutions

and

family

values

in

part

take

away

from

a

positive

impact．”

“Ireland

wins

because

it

successfully

combines

the

most

desirable

elements

of

the

new

with

the

preservation

of

certain

warm

elements

of

the

old，such

as

and

The

magazine

admitted

measuring

of

life

is

not

a

The

chiefly

because

of

the

16

B

Irelandismebestplaceintheworldt0liveinfor2005,…．爱尔兰是2005年世界上最适合居住的地方，……这是文章中的第一句话。题干说的是：在长达2005年里，爱尔兰一直是世界上最适合于人类居住的地方。因此，不对。

17

C

题干说的是：工作稳定是生活质量中最不重要的衡量标准。文章第三段提到了工作稳定(jobsecurity)，但是没有说工作稳定是生活质量中最不重要的衡量标准。

18

A

题干说的是：在爱尔兰生活费用相当高。这一信息可以从第四段中的词组“thehighcostofliving”(很高的生活费用)中找到。

19

C

题干说的是：在津巴布韦，家庭生活不稳定。文章没有提到。

20

A

题干说的是：爱尔兰名居榜首是因为它把新时期的最佳的成分和一些好的传统结合在一起。这一信息可以从第七段中找到。

21

B

题干说的是：评价生活质量很容易。第八段是这么说的：Themagazineadmittedmeasuringqualityoflifeisnotastraightforwardthingtodo．该杂志承认评价生活质量不是一件简单的事。因此，不对。

22B

题干说的是：美国在前十名。事实是它排在第十三名。有关此信息可以在最后一段找到。

第3部分：概括大意与完成句子

23

C

本文的标题是：即使是聪明人也会失败。第二和第三段都跟Edison直接相关。第二段描述的是他的发明创造。

24

D

本段是。Edison对失败的看法。第一句话的意思是：生活中的许多失败是半途而废，这些人不知道其实他们放弃时离成功已经是近在咫尺了。

25

A

本段的第一句话是这么说的：没有人喜欢失败，但是聪明的发明家会从中吸取教训。注意：一个段落的第一句话常常是主题句。

26

B

本段的第一句话是这么说的：两个世纪来，发明家表现出的一个共同品质是弃而不舍。

27

D

本题是根据第三段的第一句话设计的。quit和giveup口都有“放弃”的意思。Hehasgivenupsmoking．他戒烟了。。Hehasquittedsmoking他戒烟了。

28

C

本题是根据第五段的最后一句话设计的。该句说到了HenryFord本人的早年生涯并不成功。

29

B

第五段也说到了WaltDisney，他曾经都付不起只需1．5美元的修鞋的钱。本题就是根据WaltDisney,，当时的情况设计的。

30

E

该题问的是：媒体要求什么?最后一段的第三句是这么说的：但是，一个没有耐心的社会和媒体希望即时成功。因此E是合适的选项。

第4部分：阅读理解

31

A

该题问的是：找路时爸爸依赖的是什么?A说的是：他的直觉知识。B说的是：他的书本知识。c说的是：妈妈的帮助。D说的是：警察的帮助。第四段的最后讲到男人时作者用了这么一个短语：a．1ittlebitmoreintuitive。直觉感知更多

一些。可见A是正确答案。类似的描述也见于第三段。

32

C

该题问的是：女人倾向于用什么?A说的是：测量法。B说的是：传统法。C说的是：路线法。D说的是：正确的办法。第三段的最后一句是这么说的：然而，女人是试图先把整个路线详详细细地记住，然后跟着脑子里的线路走。因此C是正确的。

33D

该题问的是：路线法和测量法，哪种更好些?倒数第四段是这么说的：两种都可以，不能说一种比另一种更好。可见D是正确的。

34D

该题问的是：哪一种不是地标?顾名思义，你脑袋里的线路当然不是路标。

35

c

该题问的是：女人的方位感是出于什么样的需要形成的?A说的是：为了钓鱼。B说的是：为了打猎。c说的是：为了熟悉常用的道路。D说的是：为了游泳。c可以在最后一段的倒数第二句找到。

36c

该题问的是：根据短文，在狂欢节，里约热内卢人下列的事中哪一种不做?第二段的最后提到“许多人都忘记了吃饭和睡觉”。因此，里约热内卢人在这个日子里，更不可能去大吃大喝。

37

B

该题问的是：狂欢节有多长?第一段说到狂欢节从2月20日开始。第二段说到此后6天有各种各样的活动。可见，总共是7天，即整整一个星期。

38

A

“centrepiece”是“核心部分”的意思。因此A是最合适的。

39

C

第三段的第一句提到了BobNadkami是英国人，这就排斥了A和D。该句还说到此人是因为喜欢狂欢节来到巴
