参考答案和解析
正确答案： 1.M would。考 点:助动词。空格前为主语it,后面有系动词be,故该处应填入助动词。根据上下文语境和句中without it可知此句描述的情况与现状相反,需要使用虚拟语气,因此主句谓语部分由would+动词原形组成,故选择M项。
2.A nor。考 点:连词。该句为否定句,且空格前后为并列成分,故应使用连接词。句意:如果没有征税就没有钱来支付保护我们的士兵和警察,也不可能有钱来支付政府公务员。这个句子是两个否定句相连,应使用连接词组not...nor,故选择A项。
3.K though。考 点:连词。该句前后存在语义转折,含有让步关系,故应填入表示让步的连词。该句表达的是,虽然每个人都知道征税是必要的,但不同的人对征税怎样安排持有不同的观点。句中的but是明显的转折性标志,故选K项though有让步转折的意思。
4.O how。考 点:连词。分析句子可知,该处缺少表达方式的连词。由上下文语意可知,此处想强调不同的人对征税的方式有不同观点,所以应选择how来引导介词about后的宾语从句,表示方式,故选O项。
5.N persons。考 点:名词。分析句子可知,介词on后面接的是征税的方式或对象,故应填入名词。在大多数国家,存在按人头直接征收的income tax,即个人所得税,四个选项中只有persons能表达“个人”的意思,故选择N项。
6.E exists。考 点:动词。分析句子成分可知,该句缺少谓语,故应填入动词。根据上下文的意思,此处想表达在大多数国家存在个人所得税。exist表示“存在”。故选择E项。
7.H larger。考 点:形容词。空格前grows相当于系动词be,而且空格修饰的是the percentage of tax,故应填入形容词。这句话要强调的是随着纳税人收入的增加,需纳税的比例也在增长。和percentage搭配表示增长,应使用large,该处表示的是比例变大,故使用其比较级larger,所以选择H项。
8.I always。考 点:副词。分析句子成分可知,该句成分完整,所以考虑填入副词。征收直接税的国家几乎也都征收间接税。此处需要一个表示“总是”含义的副词,故always“总是,一直”,符合句意。选项中副词还有periodically“周期地,定期地”,但不符合原文内容,应排除,故选择I项。
9.F who。考 点:连接词。分析句子结构可知,该句为强调句型,并缺少连接词。此题考查It is…who/that…强调句型结构。联系上下文,该部分强调的是the men and women,表示人,所以使用who作连接词,故选择F项。
10.C form。考 点:名词。句意:那些在商店购买进口商品的男男女女须要通过高价格的形式来纳税。所以此处缺少的是表示方式的连接词组。in the form of表示“以……的形式”符合句意,故选择C项。

  • 第3题：

    A moment's drilling by the dentist may make us nervous and upset. Many of us cannot stand pain.

    To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the "needle"— a shot of novocaine (奴佛卡因) -that deadens the nerves around the tooth.

    Now it' s true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves—and our brain, which is a bundle of nerves— we wouldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture is based on the human body being open to pain.

    But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir(行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain; This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.

    The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little, it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed,' and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we' can handle the pain without falling apart. After all; although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.

    26. The passage is mainly about______.

    A) how to stiffer pain

    B) how to avoid pain

    C) how to handle pain

    D) how to stop pain


    正确答案：C
    答案：C
    [试题分析]文章主旨题。
    [详细解答]文章从以牙医用奴佛卡因来帮助病人减轻疼痛来开头，接下来又用印度行僧在胳膊上插上针来镇痛的例子说了人类对付疼痛的历史，最后仍然是有关对付疼痛的，指出人感觉疼痛的程度与态度有关。可见，全篇的内容都与人类对付疼痛有关，正确答案应为C。

    A.nothing
    B.link
    C.another
    D.much

    答案：D
    解析：
    词义辨析【直击答案】It's a sad reality是对第一段内容的总结，该句中双破折号中的内容是对a sad reality的进一步解释。插入语后的because there's__2 to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you是对主句It's a sad reality的原因解释，即与陌生人交流，我们会从中收获。根据句意，D项符合。另外该句后的But you wouldn't know it也提示了本句语义。【命题思路】本题需要根据上下文确定所需填入的语义，主要是寻找语义线索。【干扰排除】将四个选项代入句子，首先可以排除B项和C项，这两项均与句意不符。A项干扰性最强。空格所在句是观点句，从上下文语义上可以判断出作者是支持与陌生人交流的，文章末段也明确指出human beings thrive off of social connections。因此可排除A项。

    A Society Without a Formal Authority

    In the seventeenth century,European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the westem Great Lakes found that several native tribes（部落）were living in the area without a formal leadership system.They appeared to be"quite friendly with each other without a formal authority"!
    Not only did the Indians appear to lack a formal system of authority,but they also deeply hated any efforts to control their actions.All members of the tribes knew what was required of them by lifelong（一生的）familiarity with the tasks of the area. These tasks tended to be simple, since the Indians' rate of social change was slow. Thus,although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders,no real authority was required.Rather than giving direct orders(which were considered rough),members of the tribes would arouse others to action by examples.
    It would be difficult,if not impossible,to carry out such a system in our own society.Most oi us have grown up under one authority or another for as long as we can remember. Our parents,our teachers,our bosses,our government all have the recognized right under certain conditions to tell u, what to do.The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workabl( society without it.We have been used to relying on authority to get things done and would probably be uncomfortable with the Indian methods of examples on a large scale.
    Of course,the major reason why the Indian system would not be suitable for us is that our society is too large.The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often undertight time and resource limitations could not be treated by the Indian system,in modern societies, the formal authority system is necessary to achieve any social objectives.

    Members of the tribes got others to do things___________.
    A:with resolution
    B:by examples
    C:by force
    D:with effort

    答案：B
    解析：
    本题问“下列哪项关于欧洲士兵的陈述是正确的？”文章第一段提到“欧洲士兵偶然遇见一群居住在西部大湖群的印第安人”。选项A、选项B、选项D在文中都未提到。因此选项C“他们偶然遇见一些印第安部落”符合题意。
    本题问“通过何种方法部落成员使其他成员做事”。文章第二段末尾提到“部落成员通过榜样的力量唤起其他成员采取行动，而不是发出直接命令”。由此可知选项 B“通过榜样”符合题意。
    本题是“根据作者的看法，一个社会没有······很难运转”。文章第三段中间提到："The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workable society without it.”因此选A。
    本题是“读过文章，可得出结论······”。文章前两段谈到印第安部落的制度模式，第三段提到“It would be difficult, if not impossible, to carry out such a system in our own society"，第四段解释我们的社会不能执行印第安人的制度的原因。综上所述，选项D“印第安制度很难在我们的社会中执行”符合题意。implement等于carry out（执行）。
    本题是“从文章中可以看出，执行我们社会中的任务······”。文章最后一段说“The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often under tight time"。因此选项C“没有任何施延”符合提议。

    Practice 10　　Every British citizen who is employed (or self-employed) is obliged to pay a weekly contribution to the national insurance and health schemes. An employer also makes a contribution for each of his employees, and the Government too pays a certain amount. This plan was brought into being in 1948. Its aim is to prevent anyone from going without medical services, if he needs them, however poor he may be; to ensure that a person who is out of work shall receive a weekly sum of money to subsist on; and to provide a small pension for those who have reached the age of retirement.　　Everyone can register with a doctor of his choice and if he is ill he can consult the doctor without having to pay for the doctor's service, although he has to pay a small charge for medicines. The doctor may, if necessary, send a patient to a specialist, or to hospital~ in both cases treatment will be given without any fees being payable. Those who wish may become private patients, paying for their treatment, but they must still pay their contributions to the national insurance and health schemes.

    正确答案： 【参考译文】
    每一个有工作(或个体经营)的英国公民必须每周缴纳国民保险费和医疗保险费。雇主也要为每一个雇员付保险费,还有政府也为此出一部分钱。这一计划是在1948年出台的,其目的是使任何需要就医的人(不管他多穷)都得到医治,确保每一个失业者每个星期都能领到一份救济金,并为到了退休年龄的人提供数额不大的退休金。
    每个人都可以在他所选择的医生处登记,如果有病就可以请该医生看病而不必支付就诊费,只需付少量的药费。在必要的时候,医生可以将病人转给专科医生或医院;无论是在专科诊所还是在医院,病人都得到治疗,而不必支付任何费用。想请私人医生的人可以由私人医生看病,费用自理,但他们仍然必须缴纳国民保险金和医疗保险金。

    问答题
    The On-going Debate over Healthcare Reform　　It seems that the government’s so-called Blue Ribbon Commission has already decided what plan it will propose without undertaking any public consultation and is now merely engaged in a PR campaign to convince us they have the answer.　　This seems a little head over heels to us. Since it is our money and our health that is in question, shouldn’t we have been consulted at the break about which way we want to go?　　There are several models to achieve healthcare reform, and not all of them require us to hand more money over to keep government bureaucrats in big offices. Purely private healthcare may have big problems—but so does the socialised medicine the commission is recommending.　　For example, Canada’s universal system of socialised medicine is now busily engaged in transferring costs from the public to the private sector… by reducing covered expenses, by de-insuring some expenses and so on.　　Medical authorities are on record as saying that in an effort to manage costs, hospital stays are being shortened (or even dispensed with altogether).　　So while we in the Bahamas are citing universal ‘free’ health care as the answer to our problems, in Canada there is an uncoordinated scramble by the public system to reduce and offload the effects of rising health care costs. And we won’t even mention the litany of complaints from users who have to wait for poor service.　　But what mostly concerns us about the Blue Ribbon Commission is that they have plumped for social health insurance without determining the cost of their recommended programmer, or of the alternatives.　　And they do not seem to have taken into account the impact this plan will have on the fiscal deficit or on our individual pockets. Apparently, the position is that whatever the cost, this is the plan that will be presented to parliament.　　An initiative so far-reaching and so potentially damaging to our economy, should require more careful assessment of the alternatives in public. There is always more than one way to skin a cat. And we do not believe that a small group of consultants constitutes ‘the public’.

    正确答案： 【参考译文】
    关于医疗改革的争论仍在继续 看来政府所谓的特别委员会还未曾征询公众的意见,就已经决定了要向政府建议实行哪一项医疗改革计划。现在,他们只需要搞一场公关活动,说服我们相信他们的决定就行了。
    然而,对我们而言,这样的做法似乎有点搞颠倒了。医疗改革关系到我们的金钱和健康,难道不应该首先问问我们想怎么改吗?
    医疗改革的模式有好几种,并不是每种模式都需要我们投入更多的钱,好让那些政府官僚舒舒服服地坐在宽敞的办公室里。医疗卫生完全私有化也许会有大问题,但是委员会所推荐的公费医疗制也一样问题重重。
    例如,加拿大的全民公费医疗体制现正通过缩小公费医疗项目的范围以及限制保险等方式尽可能地将公费医疗的费用转移到私人承担部分。
    该国医疗当局公开宣布,为了解决资金问题,患者住院的时间正逐步缩短,将来甚至还会完全取消住院这一项。
    当我们还在巴哈马群岛采用全民“免费”医疗体制作为医疗改革的方向时,加拿大的公共体制关于降低、抵消不断上升的医疗成本的争论早已此起彼伏了,更不用说那些满腹牢骚的患者了,他们苦苦等来的只是劣质的医疗服务。
    不过我们最关心的问题还是,特选委员会虽然已经投票赞成公费医疗保险制度,可他们并没有搞清楚这种改革方案或是其他方案到底需要多少资金。
    而且他们似乎也没有考虑过这样的计划将会对国家的财政赤字或是我们个人的腰包产生什么样的影响。显而易见,现在的情况就是,无论要花多少钱,提交给国会的方案就是这个了。
    像这样一个影响范围如此之广,而且可能对我国经济造成巨大损失的提案,应该由公众对它及其他可供选择的方案进行更为谨慎的评估。解决问题的办法从来都不只一个。我们可不认为一小撮顾问的意见就可以代表“公众”的意见。

  • 第13题：

    The above chart shows individual income tax in China. The tax free threshold is 3,500 RMB per month. The tax rates are divided into 7 brackets. The lowest rate is 3% for income between 3,501 and 5,000, while the highest rate is 45% for income over 80,000. Therefore, the higher our income is, the more tax we should pay. Tax, which can be used in public services such as education, road construction, public health and so on, is very important to our country. As we all know, tax makes up a great part of our country’s revenue, and the development of our country depends on it. From what has been discussed above, we can see that it is everyone’s legal duty to pay tax because taxes contribute to the country and create benefits for everyone. Those who try to evade taxation are sure to be punished. In short, paying tax is our responsibility to society.Decide if each of the following statements is TRUE (T) or FALSE (F).

    1. The purpose of the passage is to help people know the tips how to pay less tax.()

    2. According to the chart, if a person’s monthly is 3600 yuan, he doesn’t need to pay tax.()

  • 第16题：

    We experience a burst of pleasure when we share our thoughts,and this drives us to communlcate.It is a useful feature of our brain,because it ensures that knowledge,experience and ideas do not get buried with the person who first had them,and that as a society we benefit from the products of many minds.Of course,in order for that to happen,merely sharing is not enough.We need to cause a reaction.Each time we share our opinions and knowledge,it is with the intention of having an impact on others.Here's the problem,though:we approach this task from inside our own heads.When attempting to create impact,we reflect on what is persuasive to us,our state of mind.our desires and our goals.But if we want to affect the behaviours and beliefs of the person in front of us,we need to understand what goes on inside their head.


    答案：
    解析：
    我们在分享自己的想法时会感到一阵愉悦．正是这种感觉驱使我们进行交流。我们大脑的这个特点非常有用．因为它保证了知识、经验和想法不会随着它们最初的拥有者而遭到埋没；我们作为一个社会，则能从许多聪明人的成果中受益。当然，要使这种情况发生，单纯的分享是不够的。我们需要引起一个反应。我们每次分享自己的意见和知识时，正是抱着对他人施加影响的目的。但这正是问题所在：我们从自己的内心出发处理这件事情。当我们试图造成影响时，我们回想对我们具有说服力的东西．我们的精神状态，我们的渴望以及我们的目标。但我们如果想影响我们面前这个人的行为和想法，却需要理解他们的脑子里在想什么。

    A Society Without a Formal Authority

    In the seventeenth century,European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in the westem Great Lakes found that several native tribes（部落）were living in the area without a formal leadership system.They appeared to be"quite friendly with each other without a formal authority"!
    Not only did the Indians appear to lack a formal system of authority,but they also deeply hated any efforts to control their actions.All members of the tribes knew what was required of them by lifelong（一生的）familiarity with the tasks of the area. These tasks tended to be simple, since the Indians' rate of social change was slow. Thus,although subgroups such as soldiers had recognized leaders,no real authority was required.Rather than giving direct orders(which were considered rough),members of the tribes would arouse others to action by examples.
    It would be difficult,if not impossible,to carry out such a system in our own society.Most oi us have grown up under one authority or another for as long as we can remember. Our parents,our teachers,our bosses,our government all have the recognized right under certain conditions to tell u, what to do.The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workabl( society without it.We have been used to relying on authority to get things done and would probably be uncomfortable with the Indian methods of examples on a large scale.
    Of course,the major reason why the Indian system would not be suitable for us is that our society is too large.The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often undertight time and resource limitations could not be treated by the Indian system,in modern societies, the formal authority system is necessary to achieve any social objectives.

    After reading the passage,you may conclude that________.
    A:the Indian system is also suitable for some small towns
    B:the Indians tended to follow orders
    C:our system is much better than the Indians'
    D:the Indian system would be very difficult to implement in our society

    答案：D
    解析：
    本题问“下列哪项关于欧洲士兵的陈述是正确的？”文章第一段提到“欧洲士兵偶然遇见一群居住在西部大湖群的印第安人”。选项A、选项B、选项D在文中都未提到。因此选项C“他们偶然遇见一些印第安部落”符合题意。
    本题问“通过何种方法部落成员使其他成员做事”。文章第二段末尾提到“部落成员通过榜样的力量唤起其他成员采取行动，而不是发出直接命令”。由此可知选项 B“通过榜样”符合题意。
    本题是“根据作者的看法，一个社会没有······很难运转”。文章第三段中间提到："The authority is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us to imagine a workable society without it.”因此选A。
    本题是“读过文章，可得出结论······”。文章前两段谈到印第安部落的制度模式，第三段提到“It would be difficult, if not impossible, to carry out such a system in our own society"，第四段解释我们的社会不能执行印第安人的制度的原因。综上所述，选项D“印第安制度很难在我们的社会中执行”符合题意。implement等于carry out（执行）。
    本题是“从文章中可以看出，执行我们社会中的任务······”。文章最后一段说“The number of tasks that various members of our society have to perform often under tight time"。因此选项C“没有任何施延”符合提议。

    Practice 4　　I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”　　We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised; no survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards its goal. But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. At this time I feel entitled to claim the aid of all, and I say, “come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.” (Sir Winston Churchill)

    正如我曾对参加本届政府的成员所说的那样,我要向下院说:“我没什么可以奉献,有的只是热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水。”
    摆在我们面前的,是一场极为痛苦的严峻的考验。在我们面前,有许多许多漫长的斗争和苦难的岁月。你们问:我们的政策是什么?我要说,我们的政策就是用我们全部能力,用上帝所给予我们的全部力量,在海上、陆地和空中进行战斗,同一个在人类黑暗悲惨的罪恶史上所从未有过的穷凶极恶的暴政进行战争。这就是我们的政策。你们问:我们的目标是什么?我可以用一个词来回答:胜利——不惜一切代价,去赢得胜利;无论多么可怕,也要赢得胜利,无论道路多么遥远和艰难,也要赢得胜利。因为没有胜利,就不能生存。大家必须认识到这一点:没有胜利,就没有英帝国的存在,就没有英帝国所代表的一切,就没有促使人类朝着自己目标奋勇前进这一时代相应的强烈欲望和动力。但是当我挑起这个担子的时候,我是心情愉快、满怀希望的。我深信,人们不会听任我们的事业遭受失败。此时此刻,我觉得我有权利要求大家的支持,我要说:“来吧,让我们同心协力,一道前进。”

    问答题
    This is the world out of which grows the hope, for the first time in history, of a society where there will be freedom from want and freedom from fear. Our very anxiety is born of our knowledge of what is now possible for each and for all. The number of people who consult psychiatrists today is not, as is sometimes felt, a symptom of increasing mental ill health, but rather the precursor of a world in which the hope of genuine mental health will be open to everyone, a world in which no individual feels that he needs be hopelessly broken-hearted, a failure, a menace to others or a traitor to himself. But if our anxieties are actually signs of hope, why is there such a voice of discontent abroad in the land? I think this comes perhaps because our anxiety exists with accompanying recognition of the tragedy which will always be inherent in human life, however well we build our world. We may banish hunger, violence and secret police, we cannot—as we have tried to do—banish death itself.

    正确答案：
    有史以来第一次,这个世界有望成为一个没有贫困、没有恐惧的社会。由于每个人,所有的人都知道自己的命运,我们的焦虑也就由此产生。今天这么多的人去找精神病医生咨询,并不像人们常常感到的那样说明了越来越多的人患精神病,而只是预示着这样一个世界的到来:在那里,真正精神健康的希望之门将对每个人开放。他不必因为自己失败了,给他人造成威胁了,或背叛了自己的信仰而伤心欲绝,感到无可救药了。但是如果我们的焦虑是希望的象征,为什么到处还听到这样一种不满的声音呢?我认为这可能是我们焦虑的同时没有认识到这一点,即无论我们把这个世界建设得如何好,人类生活始终摆脱不了自身的悲剧。我们可以消灭饥饿,消灭暴力,消灭秘密警察,但我们无法,虽然一直在努力,使人不死。
    解析：
    【翻译要点】
    本题值得注意的是第三句...a world in which no individual feels that he needs be hopelessly broken-hearted, a failure, a menace to others or a traitor to himself中的同位语结构。在翻译中，若分析不够，很容易造成误译。显然a failure, a menace to others or a traitor to himself应是he的同位语，进一步说明he的。一般说来，作为同位关系的两个词语应放在一起的，但由于修饰关系，也有分开的。

    Practice 3　　What today’s global market economy teaches many of us who are involved in political life, is that even when they are inconvenient, the laws of economics, like the laws of physics, cannot be repealed for the convenience of governments. The economic principles for national success are as difficult to implement as they are easy to state. There is a paradox in all our countries at this moment. Just as a new global economy creates more to look forward to than ever before, it also brings more uncertainty and more change to worry about than ever before. That is why the challenge of crafting economic policy in your country as in mine is one of balance. A balance between moving toward necessary objectives and maintaining stability. A balance between responding to global realities and upholding domestic traditions. And a balance between the virtues of competition as the best known motivator and driver of success, and the importance of cohesion and cooperation as sources of strength for our societies. These balances will have to be struck and calibrated every year in every country in this new global economy. These measures are what one might call the intangible infrastructure of a modern market economy.

    我们许多从政者可以从当今全球市场经济中得到这样的启示,那就是经济学法则就像物理学法则一样,有一定的规律,即使当它们会引起诸多不便的时候,也不能为了政府的一时之便而朝令夕改。促进国家繁荣的经济原则,说起来容易,做起来难。此时此刻,我们所有国家都面临一个矛盾。新的全球经济创造的产物之多前所未有,让人期盼。同样,它带来的不确定性和变化也超越以往,令人担忧。和我国一样,贵国的经济政策也要量身定制,所面临的挑战是如何保持平衡:朝着必要的目标前进和保持稳定之间的平衡,顺应全球实际趋势和维护国内传统之间的平衡,以及竞争的裨益和团结、合作的重要性之间的平衡,竞争是最为人熟知的成功的动力,团结合作是我们社会力量的源泉。在这个新的全球经济中,各国每年都必须做一些适当的调整,以保持平衡。我们可以将这些措施称为一个现代市场经济的无形基础设施。
