Lucky is the man who has no "skeleton in his closet". When
a man has done something in his life that he is ashamed of, that he wants to
hide, he is said to have a "skeleton in his closet". Some people may have more
than one skeleton.
As we have noted many times, it is
hard to find out how these expressions begin. Sometimes, we get some hard facts.
But more often we have to depend on guesswork. And that is true of this phrase,
which came from England.
Before 1932, English law did not
permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination, unless
it was the corpse (尸体) of an executed (处决) criminal.
But when
it became legal, more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific
study of medicine. It was helping in the advance of modern medicine. The demand
had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors
at high prices.
We are told that a doctor would usually buy
just one skeleton for scientific study. It became very important in his work.
But he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a
thing. As a rule, the doctor would keep his skeleton in some dark corner where
it could not be seen, or hide it in a closet.
After a time,
people began to suspect (怀疑) every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet.
From this suspicion, the phrase "a skeleton in the closet" took on a broader,
more general meaning to describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from
discovering. It could be proof of a criminal act, or something much less
serious. Well, that is one theory.
One writer, however,
believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened. It
is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have
turned up a real skeleton, clear proof of some old family shame or crime. Well,
one man’s guess is as good as another. But this sounds like a story by the great
French novelist, Balzac.
Baizac tells us of a man who suspected
his wife of having a lover. The husband comes home by surprise. But she hears
him and quickly hides her lover in the closet of her bedroom. He enters her room
and asks her if she is hiding her lover. He says he will not open the door to
the closet if she promises him there is no one there; He will believe her. She
answers firmly that she is not hiding anyone in the closet.
The
husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet. His wife
watches, knowing that her lover will never come out alive. But she will not
change her story and admit her guilt.From the story Balzac told we know that the wife’s lover must have
become （）.
- A、a corpse
- B、a phrase
- C、a skeleton
- D、a secret

第1题：
阅读理解There is no doubt that man is a member of the animal kingdom.Anyone who has thought about this fact seriously must have wondered how it has come about that man has achieved a position so supreme(最高的) among the myriad(无数的) kinds of animal life.Two characteristics of man, in comparison with all other animals, that stand out above all others are the creation and use of tools and the development and use of language.Since no other animals have achieved these abilities, it must be assumed that man’s evolutionary development led to his capacity to create and use tools and to devise and use language.
Once these abilities and practices evolved, they probably became driving forces in the further evolution of man.Those members of the species who become most proficient(精通的) in the fabrication of tools and in the command of language and thought would tend to survive and maintain their kind for good, at the expense of those of lesser ability.
11.Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?()
A.Tools and language are either the effects or the causes of human evolution.
B.No other animals have achieved human abilities.

D.Man owns his capacity to making use of tools and language.
12.“Animal kingdom” in the passage refers to ().
A.the place where all animals live
B.the animal society
C.all kinds of animals, including man
D.the forest with animals
13.One important condition for man’s evolution is() .

“Lucky” Lord Lucan一Alive or Dead
On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan,a British aristocrat,vanished. The day before,his children's nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too.To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found.
Now,over 30 years later,the police have reopened the case,hoping that new DNA tech-niques will help solve this murder mystery. People suspected that“Lucky”,as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises,came downstairs and was also attacked,but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.
What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder,“Lucky” borrowed a car and drove it,Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.
Another version of events says that“Lucky” left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country.However,after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.
A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaugh-lin,a former detective.He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa,India.where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996.In the end the claim turned out be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin,an exschoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about Lucky?DNA testing has solved many murder cases,but who knows if it can close the book on this one.Ex-detective MacLaughlin claimed that Mr. Barry Haplin______.
A: was an old schoolteacher
B: died in Goa,India
C: was really Lord Lucan in disguise
D: was a merchant答案：C解析：题干意为“公众对这件谋杀案的调查依旧很感兴趣的原因是……”。该题为细节题，而且为细节题中的因果逻辑题，在解题时要注意关注短文中陈述原因的句子，尤其是一些典型用来引出原因的词语和结构，如：because, because of, for, due to, thanks to, owing to等，同时还需要注意英文中的因果逻辑陈述习惯：先果后因。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，在短文前三段中查找相关句，同时留意题干中的修饰词in-terested“感兴趣的”，这样在第一段中找到相关句：To this day the British public（与题干中的名词短语the public呼应）are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found．相关句意为“直到现在，英国民众对这个谋杀案仍然很感兴趣，因为鲁肯伯爵一直没有被找到”。该句直接陈述了原因，所以C项“鲁肯伯爵一直没有被找到”是正确的答案。
题干意为“人们认为鲁肯杀了保姆的原因是什么？”该题为细节题，同时也是因果逻辑题。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句，这样在第二段中找到相关句：People suspected that “Lucky”（指Lucan), as he was called by friends,wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lu-can entered his old house and in the dark,killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises,came downstairs and was also attacked,but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder,a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny．相关句（带有下划线的句子）意为“鲁肯伯爵被朋友称为‘幸运儿’，人们猜测他想要杀了他与之分居的妻子。有人说鲁肯踏进他的老房子，在一片漆黑中错杀了保姆”，由此可知C项“在一片漆黑之中，他误认为她（保姆）是鲁肯夫人”是答案。
题干意为“Aspinall认为鲁肯是怎样自杀的？”该题为细节题，利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句，这样在第三段中找到相关句：What happened next is unclear,but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories:he may have killed himself,he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder,“Lucky”（指Lucan)borrowed a car and drove it,Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had com-mitted suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel．相关句（带下划线的句子）意为“在谋杀发生的第二天晚上，‘幸运儿’借了一辆车然后开走了，鲁肯的朋友Aspinall在一个采访中表示，他觉得鲁肯伯爵在英吉利海峡中凿沉了自己坐的船，已经自杀了”。由此可知鲁肯的朋友Aspinall认为鲁肯伯爵是凿沉了自己坐的船自杀的，因此答案为D。
题干意为“鲁肯可能已经被杀了，原因是人们……”。利用题干及选项中的名词及名词短语作为定位线索，顺着上一题相关句的位置往下查找相关句，这样在第四段中找到相关句：Another version of events says that “Lucky” left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country. However,after a time,his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed．相关句（带下划线的句子）意为“然而，过了一段时间，救他的人开始担心自己也会被卷入到谋杀案中，所以他们杀了鲁肯”。由此可知鲁肯可能 已经被杀的原因是人们（帮助鲁肯的人）害怕自己也被卷入到谋杀案中，因此答案为B项“认为如果鲁肯被警方抓住他可能向警方供出他们来”。 -

单选题According to Karen Norberg, ______.Aamong children born out of wedlock there were more girls than boys.
Bthe chance of a woman giving birth to a girl is higher if she has been living with a man before the child was conceived.
Cfor parents who were not cohabiting, boys were born 51.5% of the time.
Dwomen who have not been living with a man are more likely to have daughters.
正确答案： A解析：
录音中Karen Norberg在研究中发现“the chance of a woman giving birth to a boy rather than a girl is higher if she has been living with a man before the child was conceived”，可见在他看来一个女人在怀孩子之前与一个男人一起生活那么她生男孩的几率就相对较大，因此选项D的推断正确。
【录音原文】
Can household arrangements affect the human sex ratio? According to Karen Norberg, of the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, they can. In a review of data from almost 60, 000 American families, Dr Norberg found that the chance of a woman giving birth to a boy rather than a girl is higher if she has been living with a man before the child was conceived. To be specific, for parents who were living together, boys were born 51.5% of the time, while when the parents were not cohabiting only 49.9% of births were male. This difference may seem small, but statistically it is highly significant, which suggests it is the result of evolution. -

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body.There are times when?most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice.Sweets and ice-cream are not?bad if we eat them at the end of a meal.If we eat them before a meal,they may take away our appe-tite（食欲）~It is important for us to eat our meals at the same time each day.When we feel hungry,it is a sign that our body needs food.When we feel angry or excited,we may not want to eat.A long time ago,in England,some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread.If the man could not eat the bread,it showed that he was telling lies.Although this seems very strange and rather foolish,it is indeed a very good way of finding out the fact.A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in eating anything dry.Because he is worrying,he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.
A man who is worrying__________.A.has a better appetite
B.likes to tell lies
C.likes to eat ice-cream
D.has a poor appetite答案：D解析：由倒数第二句“A man who is worrying about?something has difficulty in eating anything dry．”可知，为某事感到焦虑的人很难吞下较于的食物。have difficulty in?doing sth．意为“做某事有困难”。D项“has a poor appe-tire”意为“没有胃口，不想吃东西”，与原文意思最接近。
