第2题：
Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys,people are actually more stressed at home than at work.Researchers measured people’s cortisol,which is a stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom,we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home”,writes one of the researchers,Sarah Damske.In fact women even say they feel better at work,she notes.“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work.”Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without,but more so for nonparents.This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home,whether it is household work or work brought home from the office.For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back.For women who stay home,they never get to leave the office.And for women who work outside the home,they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.With the blurring of roles,and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women,it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing.At work,people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing:working,making money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front,however,people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out.There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them.Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor;they need to be talked into it,or if they’re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices.Plus,they’re your family.You cannot fire your family.You never really get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home.Not only are the tasks apparently infinite,the co-workers are much harder to motivate.
According to Damaske,who are likely to be the happiest at home?A.Working mothers.
B.Childless husbands.
C.Childless wives.
D.Working fathers.答案：B解析：细节题【命题思路】这是一道细节题。主要考查考生准确理解题干，精准定位，并能正确掌握定位信息，辨别干扰选项的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键信息“Damaske”定位到第二段第三、四句，即Damaske的观点。这两句提到“It is men，not women,who report being happier at home than at work…，but more so for nonparents.”，即“研究发现是男人，而不是女人，在家比在工作中更高兴。更令人吃惊的是，这种情况对有无孩子都一样，尤其是对于没有孩子的人。”综合对比，确定B为最佳答案。【干扰排除】A、C项两项均为反向干扰，原文说的是男人比女人在家更快乐，故排除。根据该句“but more so for nonparents”可知D项错误，原文是没有孩子的男性，并非工作中的父亲。 -

The home front differs from the workplace in that_____A.home is hardly a cozier working environment
B.division of labor at home is seldom clearcut
C.household tasks are generally more motivating
D.family labor is often adequately rewarded答案：B解析：细节题【命题思路】细节题。本题主要考查考生准确理解题干，精准定位并正确理解定位信息，辨别干扰选项的能力。【直击答案】根据出题的顺序性原则，本题定位到倒数第二段首句。本句“on the home front，however，people have no such clarity”，表明在家里，人们的分工不会像工作场所那么明确，从而导致女性在家里压力大，A项“division of labor at home is seldom clearcut”是对此信息的同义替换，为最佳答案。【干扰排除】A项属于无中生有信息。原文并未提及家务活是否更具motivating，C项无中生有。D项与原文信息“there are inadequate rewards for most of them.”不符合，属于反向干扰，故排除。 -

What are some of the advantages of using a cassette recorder?
Some of the advantages of using a cassette recorder are:
First, it gives the students the chance to listen to a variety of voices apart from the teacher’s, and it brings native speakers’ voices into the classroom.
Second, recorded material is useful for listening to dialogues, interviews, discussions, etc. where there is more than one person speaking at the same time. Otherwise the teacher has to act the part of more than one person.
Third, it is very useful for intensive listening, because the cassette can be stopped and a phrase played over and over again. This kind of listening is called intensive listening.

BThere is a selling dropping of all sizes of it.
CIts place is replacing by more economical cars.
DIts best-selling time is coming.
正确答案： A解析：
事实细节题。由题干定位至第三段。首句中rising gas prices finally seem to be driving consumers toward more economical choices—and ringing out the era of the SUV提到，上涨的油价最终可能迫使消费者倾向于更加经济的选择，这意味着the SUV时代的结束，故A错，C正确；由最后两句可知SUVs和轻型货车销量下降，但是末句提到smaller SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 came on strong，排除B；由首句中ringing out the era of the SUV 可知the SUV 的时代将结束，故D错。 -

Houses of the Future
What will houses be like in thirty years' time?No one really knows,but architects are trying to predict.
_________(46)
Future houses will have to be flexible.In thirty years' time even more of us will be working at home.So
we will have to be able to use areas of the house for work for part of the day and for living for the rest.
Families grow and change with children arriving,growing up and leaving home._______(47)Nothing will
be as fixed as it is now.The house will always be changing to meet changing needs.
Everyone agrees that in thirty years' time we will be living in"intelligent"houses.We will be able to
talk to our kitchen machines and discuss with them what to do.Like this:"We'll be having a party this
weekend.What food shall we cook?"________(48)We will be able to leave most of the cooking to the
machines,just tasting things from time to time to check.
The house of the future will be personal一each house will be different._________(49)You won't have to
paint them一you'll be able to tell the wall to change the color!And if you don't like the color the next day,
you will be able to have a new one._______(50)___________（49）
A: What will our home be like then?
B:And the machine will tell us what food we will have to buy and how to cook it.
C:You will be able to change the color of the wall easily.
D:The only thing you won't be able to do is move the house somewhere else!
E: The house of the future will have to grow and change with the family.
F:The kid might take their bedrooms with them as they leave.答案：C解析：根据该空格前的部分及第二段起对未来房子的描述可知，此处填“What will our homebe like then?”最为合适，它起到承上启下的作用。
根据第二段内容，可以看出此处需要填的内容和“grow and change with the family”有关，因此选E。
第三段讲未来的厨房是智能的，我们可以和厨房里的机器交谈，因此选B。
这一段讲房子可以自己改变颜色，所以C是正确答案。
选项F放在此处显得唐突，因为文章没有对卧室进行描写，而选项D是对未来房子整体上的描述，适合作为文章的最后一句话。 -

The blurring of working women's roles refers to the fact that____A.they are both bread winners and housewives
B.their home is also a place for kicking back
C.there is often much housework left behind
D.it is difficult for them to leave their office答案：A解析：推理题【命题思路】这是一道推理题。主要考查考生精准理解原文定位信息，查找相互关联，并进行适度推理的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键信息“blurring of…roles”定位到第三段末句“With the blurring of roles，…”。但从中并不能找到答案，故推测答案在上文，最终锁定在“For many men,the end of the workday is…，with the blurring of role…”。意思是“对男性而言，一天工作结束后他们便可以休息，但对女性来说，离开办公室之后，还有很多家务活”。由此可以推出，“The blurring of working women's roles”指的是女性既要上班又要照顾家庭。综合判断，确定A项为最佳答案。【干扰排除】B项为反向干扰，原文指出女性下班回家后，还有很多家务要做，故排除。C项以偏概全，只强调了“the blurring roles”中“家务活”这个方面，故排除。D项是张冠李戴，选项内容属于“women who stay home”的信息，故排除。 -

第16题：
What are the advantages and disadvantages of grammar-translation method?
The main advantages of this method are: first, comparison between two languages helps students to have a better understanding of the meaning of abstract words and complicated sentences. Second, systematic study of grammatical rules plays an important role in fostering students' ability of reading comprehension and producing grammatically correct sentences. Understanding and manipulating the morphology and syntax will develop students' ability of analyzing and solving problems. Third, the focus on understanding literary texts provides the situation in which reading and writing abilities are well trained. Fourth, it makes few demands on teachers although it often creates frustration for students. It is relatively easy to apply.
Disadvantages in this method are: First, overemphasis on translation can never emancipate the learners from dependence on the first language. Second, knowing a large number of grammatical rules cannot ensure that students can use them appropriately in real communicative situation. Third, it puts too much emphasis on reading and writing and neglects listening and speaking. Fourth, the texts are mostly taken from literary works. The language learned often doesn't meet the practical needs of the learners. Fifth, memorizing grammar rules and bilingual word lists does not motivate students to actively communicate in the target language.

主旨题。由录音中的最后一句话可知，实际上，人们不能只在家工作而不面对面地接触同事。所以此处应填face to face。
【录音原文】
With the increasing use of the Internet, it is becoming more and more common for people to work at home. There appear to be many advantages to this. First, it saves time and money normally spent on traveling. It also reduces pollution. In addition, you have the opportunity to choose when and how you work. It’s not necessary that everyone stick to a nine-to-five working day. You can be your own boss. However, there just isn’t enough human interaction if you only work at home. Real communication seems to be absent. Perhaps younger people don’t have this problem as they can use online communication techniques. But employees who work at home seem to spend too much time online trying to find people to meet face to face. In fact, most people are not able to work just at home without meeting their colleagues face to face sometimes.
Q 11: why are more and more people able to work at home?
Q 12: What are the advantages of working at home?
Q 13: What is another advantage of working at home?
Q 14: What is the problem with working at home only?
Q 15: What conclusion can we draw about working at home from the passage? -
