Some young soldiers who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting,and one of the things they were shown was how an unarmed man could trick an armed enemy and take his weapon away from him.First one of their two instructors took a knife away from the other,using only his bare hands;and then he took a rifle away from him in the same way.After the lesson,and before they went on to train the young soldiers to do these things themselves,the two instructors asked them a number of questions to see how well they had understood what they had been shown.One of the questions was this:“Well,you now know what an unarmed man can do against a man with a rifle.Imagine that you are guarding a bridge at night,and that you have a rifle.Suddenly you see an unarmed enemy soldier coming towards you.What will you do?”
The young soldier who had to answer this question thought carefully for a few seconds before he answered,and then said,“Well,after what I have just seen,I think that the first thing I would do would be to get rid of my rifle as quickly as I could,so that the unarmed enemy couldn't take it from me and kill me with it!”

The young soldier told the instructor that__.

A.the important thing was to be brave
B.the important thing was to save your life
C.the important thing was to have a gun
D.the important thing was to know the trick

1.Passage FourDressing fashionably was very important in fourteenth-century Spain. This was especially true for any man who considered himself an aristocrat or dandy. Before going out, a well-dressed man would put on his finest boots, one of his embroidered caps and his favorite beard, dyed to match the color of his clothing.Believe it or not, false beards were once as popular as neckties are today. Beards had for years considered a sign of strength and manhood, and the bigger and thicker they were, the better. Those unfortunates who had little facial hair were forced by custom into wearing false beards made of horsehair. Soon, however man in the Spanish fashion world was wearing them too, while many quite substantial real beards were shaved off to make way for the false variety.By day, the fashionable dandy might wear a yellow or a crimson beard to impress his friends, but in the evening a long black beard was proper for serenading his senorita, Any color or shape of beard could be had.However, as you can imagine, the growth of this unusual custom created many interesting problems. People with similar beards were mistaken for one another. Creditors could not find debtors, and police often arrested the wrong people, while the real villain escaped wearing their hairy disguises. The price of horsehair skyrocketed. Finally, King Philip IV of Aragon put a stop to all the foolishness by outlawing the wearing of false beards.46. What is the passage mostly concerned with?A. The size of beards.B. The color of beards.C. Varieties of false beards.D. The custom of wearing false beards.

    The Iceman

    On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High
    up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet or 3,200
    meters),the ice is usually permanent,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
    melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
    It was lying face downward. The skeleton(骨架)was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the
    head.There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
    wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of
    gloves made of tree bark(树皮)and a holder for arrows.
    Who was this man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions.
    Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I,
    since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father,
    who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists
    who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
    With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the iceman was about 5,300 years old.
    Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was probably
    a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a different
    story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin,
    but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, and not from the
    wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might have been
    part of a larger war,or he might have beenl fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit himself.
    By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the iceman about the
    times he lived in.we may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to the
    history of those distant times.

    The body of the iceman was found in the mountains mainly because__________.
    A:two Germans were climbing mountains
    B:he was just on a mountain pass
    C: the melted ice made him visible
    D:he was lying on the ice

    答案:C
    解析:

    资料:We all know that lack of sleep affects our memory along with other cognitive abilities. Sitting in the office sleep deprives it’s difficult to remember your own name, let along the ever-lengthening to-do list.
    But now new research shows that not getting enough sleep increases the chances your mind will actually create false memories. The study, published in Psychological Science, allowed one group of participants to get a full nights’ sleep while another had to stay up all night. In the morning they were given a series of photos that were supposed to show a crime being committed. Next, both groups were given some eyewitness statements about the crime. Like many witness statements in real-life crimes the details were different to those shown in the photographs. For example, in one instance the photo showed a thief putting a wallet in his jacket, but in the witness statement it said he put it in his pants(that's ‘trousers’ for British people not his underwear!). Afterwards they were asked what they had seen in the original photographs. The results showed that those who'd missed out on their sleep were the most likely to regurgitate the false eyewitness statements they'd just read rather than remembering the ‘true’ crime-scene photos they'd been shown moments beforehand. The lack of sleep had messed with their heads to the extent the all the evidence—right and wrong—had got mixed up.
    One of the study's authors, Kimberly Fenn, said:”People who repeatedly get low amounts of sleep every night could be more prone in the long run to develop these forms of memory distortion. It's not just a full night of sleep deprivation that puts them at risk. Indeed, a preliminary study they carried out found that getting just five hours sleep was enough to cause people to start manufacturing false memories.

    What is the dependent variable in the study?

    A.Creation of false memories
    B.Memory deprivation
    C.Crime being created
    D.Different details shown

    答案:A
    解析:

    The Iceman

    On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy.High
    up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet,or 3,200
    meters),the ice is usually permanent,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
    melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
    It was lying face downward. The skeleton(骨架)was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the
    head.There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
    wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of
    gloves made of tree bark(树皮)and a holder for arrows.
    Who was this man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions.
    Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War Ⅰ ,
    since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father,who
    had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists who
    rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
    With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old.
    Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was probably
    a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a different
    story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin,
    but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound,and not from the
    wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might have been
    part of a larger war,or he might have been fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit himself.
    By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the
    times he lived in.We may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to
    the history of those distant times.

    The scientists made the deduction that the Iceman________.
    A:had got a wound on the back of his head
    B:had a tiny hole in his skin causing his death
    C:was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead
    D:was probably in some kind of a battle

    答案:D
    解析:
    短文第一段最后一句提到,是融化的冰将他暴露了出来,因此D项正确。
    短文第二段开头提到它面朝下,除了头部有伤外,骨架完好。由此推断,冰人可能死于头部的伤,因此答案是D。
    选项A“他是一战时期的士兵”,选项B“他是一位瑞士妇女失踪多年的父亲”和选项D“他大约出生在一千年前”在文中第三段可以找到,而选项C“他来自意大利”在文章中没有出现。采用排除法得出答案为C。
    选项A“头后部有伤口”是事实而非推论;选项B“皮肤上的小孔导致他的死亡”不符合 事实;选项C“他的肩膀被箭头刺伤”是事实而非推论;选项D“有可能参与过战斗”是推论;因此选D。
    短文第四段中“bandits”的意思是“强盗”。选项A“战士”;选项B“猎人”;选项C“强盗”;选项D“射击手”。因此选C。

    The Iceman

    On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High
    up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet or 3,200
    meters),the ice is usually permanent,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
    melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
    It was lying face downward. The skeleton(骨架)was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the
    head.There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
    wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of
    gloves made of tree bark(树皮)and a holder for arrows.
    Who was this man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions.
    Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I,
    since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father,
    who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists
    who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
    With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the iceman was about 5,300 years old.
    Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was probably
    a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a different
    story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin,
    but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, and not from the
    wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might have been
    part of a larger war,or he might have beenl fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit himself.
    By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the iceman about the
    times he lived in.we may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to the
    history of those distant times.

    What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
    A:The iceman could have died from the wound in the head.
    B:The iceman was struck dead from behind.
    C:The iceman was killed while working.
    D:The iceman lived a poor life.

    答案:A
    解析:
    第一段提到:1991年是特别暖的一年,山上的冰比以前消融的更多,因此尸体才显露 出来。

    Some young soldiers who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting,and one of the things they were shown was how an unarmed man could trick an armed enemy and take his weapon away from him.First one of their two instructors took a knife away from the other,using only his bare hands;and then he took a rifle away from him in the same way.After the lesson,and before they went on to train the young soldiers to do these things themselves,the two instructors asked them a number of questions to see how well they had understood what they had been shown.One of the questions was this:“Well,you now know what an unarmed man can do against a man with a rifle.Imagine that you are guarding a bridge at night,and that you have a rifle.Suddenly you see an unarmed enemy soldier coming towards you.What will you do?”
    The young soldier who had to answer this question thought carefully for a few seconds before he answered,and then said,“Well,after what I have just seen,I think that the first thing I would do would be to get rid of my rifle as quickly as I could,so that the unarmed enemy couldn't take it from me and kill me with it!”

    The instructors were teaching the soldiers__.

    A.how to use weapons
    B.how to manage without weapons
    C.how to beat the enemy barehanded
    D.how to fight with enemy

    资料:We all know that lack of sleep affects our memory along with other cognitive abilities. Sitting in the office sleep deprives it’s difficult to remember your own name, let along the ever-lengthening to-do list.
    But now new research shows that not getting enough sleep increases the chances your mind will actually create false memories. The study, published in Psychological Science, allowed one group of participants to get a full nights’ sleep while another had to stay up all night. In the morning they were given a series of photos that were supposed to show a crime being committed. Next, both groups were given some eyewitness statements about the crime. Like many witness statements in real-life crimes the details were different to those shown in the photographs. For example, in one instance the photo showed a thief putting a wallet in his jacket, but in the witness statement it said he put it in his pants(that's ‘trousers’ for British people not his underwear!). Afterwards they were asked what they had seen in the original photographs. The results showed that those who'd missed out on their sleep were the most likely to regurgitate the false eyewitness statements they'd just read rather than remembering the ‘true’ crime-scene photos they'd been shown moments beforehand. The lack of sleep had messed with their heads to the extent the all the evidence—right and wrong—had got mixed up.
    One of the study's authors, Kimberly Fenn, said:”People who repeatedly get low amounts of sleep every night could be more prone in the long run to develop these forms of memory distortion. It's not just a full night of sleep deprivation that puts them at risk. Indeed, a preliminary study they carried out found that getting just five hours sleep was enough to cause people to start manufacturing false memories.

    Which does the underlined word “regurgitate”(paragraph 2)mean?

    A.repeat
    B.pour back
    C.feed
    D.remix

    答案:A

    Uncle Sam is a tall,thin man.He‘s an older man with white hair and a white beard.He often wears a tall hat,a bow tie,and the stars and stripes of the American flag.
    Who is this strange,looking man Would you believe that Uncle Sam is the US government But why do you call the US government Uncle Sam
    During the War of 1812,the US government hired meat packers to provide meat to the army.One of these meat packers was a man named Samuel Wilson.Samuel was a friendly and fair man.Everyone liked him and called him Uncle Sam.
    Sam Wilson stamped the boxes of meat for the army with a large US for United States.Some government inspectors came to look over Sam‘s company.They asked a worker what the US on the boxes stood for.As a joke,the worker answered that these letters stood for the name of his boss,Uncle Sam.
    The joke spread,and soldiers began saying that their food came from Uncle Sam.Before long,people called all things that came from the government“Uncle Sam‘s”,“Uncle Sam”became a nickname for the US government.
    Soon there were drawings and cartoons of Uncle Sam in newspapers.In these early pictures,Uncle Sam was a young man.He wore stars and stripes,but his hair was dark and he had not a beard.The beard was added when Abraham Lincoln was President.President Lincoln had a beard.
    The most famous picture of Uncle Sam is on a poster from World War I.The government needed men to fight in the war.In the poster,a very serious Uncle Sam points his finger and says“I want YOU for the US Army.”

    According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Tuskegee Airmen is TRUE?
    A

    In World WarⅡ, they never lost a bomber to enemy fire.

    B

    They were the first group of black soldiers ever trained by the ground troops.

    C

    They were not subjected to racial discrimination in the army.

    D

    They were already soldiers in the ground troops before their training at Tuskegee began.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    细节理解题。根据文章的第三段第二句“They did not lose any of the bombers they were escorting”可知,在战争中,他们从来没有失去他们护航的任何一架轰炸机。而A项说的是他们没有遗失一架轰炸机给敌人火力。与A项说法一致,所以A是正确选项。根据文中第二段“The first African-American airmen reported for duty in l941.”可知,他们是第一批报到的空军,而B项的描述是他们是第一批受陆军训练的黑人士兵,原文并没有提到这一点,所以B项错误。根据文中第一段“separated you from other soldiers because of the color of your skin”以及后面的第三,四段可知,他们即使在军队里也被歧视,也受到了种族歧视的影响,C项描述完全相反。由文中第二段第二句“Before that, African Americans could only serve in the Armed Forces as part of the ground troops.”可知,第一批被训练的空军之前是作为地面部队的一部分为武装部队服役,服役指的是参加部队的劳动或是参军,所以不代表他们都是地面部队的士兵。故D项错误。

    5. came/were 句意:工业革命中发明各种机器的人有着各种背景,从事各种职业。come from/ be from来自。注意此处需使用过去时态。
    6. more more...than...后跟形容词、副词、动词、名词等,且more后部分和than后部分词类相同,表示“与其说……不如说、是……不是、是……更是、有……无……”等。
    7. so so that表示结果。这里指科学家的工作不一定是要让他的发现能够被使用。
    8. that 空格部分填入that引导定语从句修饰不定代词something。
    9. through trial and error反复试验;不断摸索。这里填入through,意思为“通过,凭借”。
    10. of regardless of不顾,不管。
    11. inventors 通过上文介绍可知,发明家更倾向于发明实用的东西,而科学家的研究不一定能够被使用。因此该句应该填入inventors。
    12. few 此处填入few。a few“一些”,与上一句中的most of the people形成对比。
    13. in training in sth.关于……的培训。
    14. because 逗号后面的句子为前面的句子的原因,因此填入because。
    15. before 句意:甚至那些很少甚至没有接受科学培训的人也可能会发明东西,因为科学家数年前就已经奠定好了基础。years before数年前。
