第2题：
A basic premise of OGSA is that everything is(71)by a service: a network enabled entity that(72)some capability through the exchange of messages. Computational resources, storage resources, networks, programs, databases, and so forth are all(73). This adoption of a uniform. service-oriented model means that all components of the environment are virtual. More specifically, OGSA represents everything as a Grid service: a Web service that conforms(74)a set of conventions and supports standard interfaces for such purposes as lifetime management. This core set of consistent interfaces, from which all Grid services are implemented,(75)the construction of hierarchical, higher-order services that can be treated in a uniform. way across layers of abstraction.
A．defined
B．represented
C．used
D．passed
正确答案：B
解析：OGSA的一个基本前提是任何事务都表示成一个服务：一个网络可达的、通过消息交换提供某些能力的实体。计算资源、存储资源、网络、程序、数据库等都是服务。采用一个统一的面向服务的模型意味着环境中的所有组件都是虚拟的。更明确地说，OGSA将所有事务都表示成一个Grid服务：遵循一套规范并支持为了实现生命周期管理等类似目的而制定的标准接口的Web服务。这些一致接口的核心集，是所有的Grid服务实现的基础，便于高级服务的构造，而高级服务能够跨多个抽象层以一种统一的方式进行处理。 -

问答题Practice 6 With a high degree of specialization, the frontiers of knowledge are steadily being pushed back more rapidly than ever before. But this has not been achieved without considerable cost. The scientist, who outside his own particular subject is little more than an idiot, is a modern phenomenon; as is the man of letters who is barely aware of the tremendous strides that have been made in technology. Similarly, specialization has indirectly affected quite ordinary people in every walk of life. Many activities which were once pursued for their own sakes are often given up in despair: they require techniques, the experts tell us, which take a life-time to master. Why learn to play the piano, when you can listen to the world’s greatest pianists in your own drawing-room?正确答案： 【参考译文】
随着知识的高度专业化,各学科正以前所未有的速度不断发展,但为此也付出了高昂的代价。一个科学家一旦脱离了其自身研究领域,即与白痴无异,这不能不说是现代社会的咄咄怪事。而对于科技方面的重大进展,文人也同样几乎一无所知。同样,专业化也使各行各业的普通人受到间接的影响。人们以往的那些兴趣爱好,现在却不得不绝望地放弃,因为专家告诉我们,兴趣需要技术,且穷尽一生才能掌握。当你能在自己的客厅欣赏到世界上最伟大的钢琴家演奏时,你还学习钢琴干什么呢? 解析： 暂无解析 -

单选题Which of the following statements about scientists is true?AScientists tend to approach non-scientific problems in a more objective way than common people.
BMost scientists believe arts and literature are of little use and hence think little of them.
CScientists are against the concept that science means a way of looking at the world partly for professional jealousy.
DAll scientists are totally in line with the government of their country.
正确答案： C解析：
细节题。由第四段前两句的设问可排除A项。尾段第二句列举了一个化学家轻视文学和艺术的例子，但由此得出科学家们都认为文艺无用的观点属于过度推断，故B项错误。由最后一段所举例子可知，并不是所有的科学家都完全为政府服务，故D项表述过于绝对，可排除。文章第五段倒数第二句指出，科学是看待世界的一种方法，这一观点之所以遭到抵制完全是由于同行间的妒忌，作者在尾句又解释了自己这样认为的原因，故本题答案为C项。 -

问答题If you think American cooking means opening a package and tossing the contents into the microwave, think again. On the one hand, it's true that Americans thrive on cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners. From busy homemakers to professional people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of prepackaged meals that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans recognize the value of cooking skills. Most Americans will admit that there's nothing better than a good home-cooked meal.正确答案： 假如您以为美式烹饪就是打开一个料理盒,将里头的东西抛进微波炉加热,那你得改变想法了。从某一方面来说,美国人靠吃早餐的冷麦片、午餐的三明治及速食晚餐而发育健壮,这倒是真的。从忙碌的家庭主妇到上班族,许多美国人喜欢享受事先包装好的便餐所带来的便利——这些速食在10分钟或更短时间内即可上桌。但是从另一个方面来看,许多美国人都认同厨艺的价值。大多数美国人都承认没有什么能比得上一顿自家做的美食。解析： 暂无解析 -

第14题：
Eyes Can Speak
Much meaning can be carried clearly, with our eyes, so it is often 41 that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of 42 ? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he 43 that he is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable. The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is 44 wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel 45 toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite. But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds ,it may mean that he wishes to attract（吸引）her attention, to make her understand that he 46 her. When two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, 47 make sure that the listener does pay attention 48 what he or she is speaking. Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time, to show something that 49 cannot express.
Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the place 50 you stay.

Sleeping
People who sleep for more than eight hours a night do not live as long as those who
sleep for six hours,according to the biggest study yet into sleep patterns and mortality（死
亡率）.
Scientists have no explanation for the findings and do not know if they mean people who
like a lie-in（睡懒觉）can extend their lives by sleeping less.
Although it is a common belief that sleeping for at least eight hours a night is vital for
health and well-being,the six-year study involving more than 1.1 million Americans older
than 30 found that those who slept for less than eight hours were far from doing themselves
any long-term harm.
"Individuals who now average 6.5 hours of sleep a night can be reassured that this is a
safe amount of sleep.From a health standpoint,there is no reason to sleep longer,"said
Daniel Kripke , a professor of psychiatry（精神病学）at the University of California, San
Diego.
Dr. Kripke said,"We don't know if long sleep periods lead to death.Additional studies
are needed to determine if setting your alarm clock earlier will actually improve your health."
The scientists,who were funded by the American Cancer Society,found that the best
survival rates were among the men and women who slept for seven hours a night.Those
who slept for eight hours were 12 per cent more likely to die during the six-year period of the
study,when other factors such as diet and smoking were taken into account.
Even those who spent a mere five hours a night in bed lived longer than those who slept
eight or more hours.However,an increasing death rate was found among those who slept
for less than five hours.
Dr. Kripke said,"Previous sleep studies have indicated that both short-and long-duration
（持续时间）sleep had higher mortality rates. However, none of those studies were large
enough to distinguish the difference between seven and eight hours a night,until now."More than one million Americans participated in the six-year study.

第19题：
问答题Practice 1 Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. 1______ 2______People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份) than to step out of uniform? 3______They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible(可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes. 4______Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. 5______Though they are long lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.[A] For this reason, more and more factories begin to give out uniforms to workers.[B] Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?[C] Uniform also have many practical benefits.[D] Uniform is also an indication of people’s position.[E] Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes.[F] Primary among the arguments against uniforms are their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them.[G] Uniform also give rise to some practical problems.正确答案： 1.B 空前说“美国人崇尚多样性和个性,然而他们对制服却情有独钟”。全文内容也都与穿制服有关。B选项说“制服在美国为什么受此欢迎?”能够贯穿上下文。故选B。
2.E 阅读全文可知,针对穿制服这一现象有两种观点,本段讲的是赞同者的看法。选项E最能概括本段大意。故选E。
3.C 本段讲的是穿制服可以省去服装费、洗衣费、税费等,且舒适、耐穿。即“穿制服的实用性”。故选C。
4.F 本段讲的是反对者看法。F项说“反对制服的主要原因是制服缺少多样性,穿着它的人势必就失掉了个性”。符合文意。故选F。
5.G 本段说“尽管制服耐穿,但它们比平常的衣服要贵,有些需要专业干洗成本高”。这些是穿制服带来的实际问题。故选G。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 5 If you think American cooking means opening a package and tossing the contents into the microwave, think again. On the one hand, it's true that Americans thrive on cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners. From busy homemakers to professional people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of prepackaged meals that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans recognize the value of cooking skills. Most Americans will admit that there's nothing better than a good home-cooked meal. Probably every cook has his or her own cooking style. But there are some basic techniques and principles that most people follow. For example, baking is a primary method of preparing food in America. The dinner menu often has roast meats and other baked goods. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks give special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to include a meat, a few vegetables, some bread or pasta and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colorful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.正确答案： 【参考译文】
假如您以为美式烹饪就是打开一个料理盒,将里头的东西抛进微波炉加热,那你得改变想法了。从某一方面来说,美国人靠吃早餐的冷麦片、午餐的三明治及速食晚餐而发育健壮,这倒是真的。从忙碌的家庭主妇到上班族,许多美国人喜欢享受事先包装好的便餐所带来的便利——这些速食在10分钟或更短时间内即可上桌。但是从另一个方面来看,许多美国人都认同厨艺的价值。大多数美国人都承认没有什么能比得上一顿自家做的关食。
大概每一位厨师都有他自己的烹饪方式,但仍有一些基本方法和原则是大多数人所遵循的。例如烘培在美国是一种主要的烹饪方法,晚餐菜单上通常有烤肉及其他烘培食物。因此,美国人会觉得没有烤箱几乎是无法生活。美国厨师们也特别留意食物营养的均衡。在准备一顿大餐时,他们会试着加进一道肉、几种蔬菜、一些面包或面食,而且通常还有一道甜点。他们还喜欢使餐点色彩亮丽,盘中不同色彩食物的搭配构成了健康饮食。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 1 Directions: Read the following text(s) and write an essay to 1) summarize the main points of the text(s), 2) make clear your own viewpoint, and 3) justify your stand. In your essay, make full use of the information provided in the text(s). If you use more than three consecutive words from the text(s), use quotation marks (“ ”). You should write 160—200 words on the ANSWER SHEET. There was a heated discussion on whether to require every student to wear a uniform. The following are arguments from supporters of uniforms and their competitors. Supportive arguments: There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person or a seller of identification with a larger, more important concept. They say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such a poor person who cannot afford good quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. They also say it is helpful to build up team work ability, enhance the school's entire public image, and boost up the honor of collectiveness by wearing school uniform. Opposite arguments: Others say no one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as all individuals but only lives to function as a part of a whole. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why world parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had? Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available?正确答案： 【范文】
Opinions are divided on the issues of whether every student is required to wear a uniform. Supporters of uniforms claim that uniforms can prevent students from keeping up with the Joneses. However, opponents of uniforms argue that uniforms not only ruin individuals’ personality, but heavily damage persons’ incentive to life better.
Arguments of either side make sense. But as far as I’m concerned, uniforms have more disadvantages than advantages. Firstly, we now live in an era which advocates personality. The same school uniforms will kill children’s aesthetic development and stunt individuals’ personality, creativity and imagination. Secondly, all students wearing uniforms will make their own clothes unused, which will cause enormous waste of national resources. Thirdly, the wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a negative effect on advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers and television would not be able to remain in business. The entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.
Although there still exist schools adopting the practice of uniforms, I believe they will change their ideas after they think through its disadvantages. What we should remember is that individuals’ freedom, motivation and identity will never be ignored.解析： 暂无解析
