Part I Reading Comprehension（30％）
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
One study shows that Americans prefer to answer with a brief ―Yes‖, ―No‖, ―Sure‖, or the very
popular ―Yeah‖ rather than with a longer reply. (76) But brief replies do not mean Americans are
impolite of unfriendly to some extent. Very often, Americans are in a hurry and may greet you
with a single word ―Hi‖, indeed; this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay
in the United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of rank, age or occupation. However, those
who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel
comfortable with American simple talk.
Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. (77) If people praise them or
thank them in an especially polite way, they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say
in reply . They don’t want to be impolite or rude, you can be sure that they liked what was said
about them. Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans don’t usually give gifts.
Thus, you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts, especially if they have nothing to
give in return. They are generally a warm but informal people.

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
(78) The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of
discussion among economists (经济学家). It has been argued that the supply of good land is
limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worded
intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be
obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives
more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways,
which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.
One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that
official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of
industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country
where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural
resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the
consequences may be. In the highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A
decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for
manufactured goods. (79)When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline
and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of
a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which
is stable or in decline.

6. A smaller population may mean _______.
A. higher productivity, but a lower average income
B. lower productivity, but a higher average income
C. lower productivity, and a lower average income
D. higher productivity, and a higher average income
7. According to the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing _______.
A. agriculture B. transport system C. industry D. national economy
8. In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate _______.
A. goes up B. is decreasing C. remains stable D is out of control
9. According to the passage slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for ________.
A. a developed nation
B. a developing nation
C. every nation with a big population
D. every nation with a small population
10. It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because
______.
A. there are too many underdeveloped countries in the world
B. underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial development
C. different governments have different views about the problem
D. even developed countries may have complex problems

Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But
actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. It was first used as a shade
against the sun.
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times.
Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C...
We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And
there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the
Far East In ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in
high office.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was
in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the
umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.
During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared
again in Italy in 16
th
century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority.
Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become
much lighter in weight. (80)It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to
be made in a variety of colors.

答案解析：
Passage 1
一 文章总体结构分析
这篇 小段文主要阐述的是美国人谈话喜欢简洁。第一段介绍美国人打招呼时喜欢用非常
简洁的语言，但并不代 表他们对人不礼貌。第二段主要阐述的是美国人喜欢平常心态和方式
与人交往。具体例子是：美国人平常 一般不送礼物，即使别人同他们交换礼物，而他们又没
有提前准备，就会觉得很尴尬。

二 试题具体分析
1. 【答案】C 本题考查的考生对细节的把握。文中第一句提到了，“One study shows that
Americans prefer to answer with a brief “Yes”, “No”, “Sure”, or the very
popular “Yeah” rather than with a longer reply.”一次调查显示美国人更喜欢
用 简短的回答，与c项相符，A在文中也可找到，但是并不符合题意。B、D文章都未提
及。
2. 【答案】A 本题考查的是考生对细节的理解。第一段最后一句说，“those who are
accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel
comfortable with American simple talk”那些习惯了较长问 候的人们可能需要更长
一些的时间来适应简短的回答，所以A选项符合题意。找准文章中有关该题的句子 ，然
后在选项中找到与文章最符合的一项。单独看选项，都能解释的过去，但是要根据文章
的观 点选出符合文章意思的选项才是正确的。B选项不正确，C、D选项文章中都没有提

到。
3. 【答案】C 本题考查的是考生文意的理解。第一段倒数第二句“It is used by everyone,
regardless of rank, age or occupatio n.”说，人们不分官职、年龄或是职业，都使
用简短的对话，C项说美国高官职的人都必须用正式用语 ，与文章不符。A、B和D选项
都可以从文章中找到依据。Americans prefer to answer with a brief “Yes”, “No”,
“Sure”, or the very popular “Yeah”； But brief replies do not mean Americans
are impolite of unfriendly to some extent。
4. 【答案】D 本题考查的是考生对文章中具体句子的把握。第二段的第二三句说“If people
praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may become
uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply .如果有人用一种很礼貌的方式
赞扬或是感谢美国人的话 ，他们会感到不舒服，而且不知如何应答。”A选项说他们不知
如何应答B选项说他们感到不舒服不自然 ，都符合题意，C选项在原文中找不到依据。
5. 【答案】B 本题考查的是考生对全文意思的把握。第二段第四句“Except for certain
holidays, such as Christmas, Americans don’t usually give gifts.”说除了像
圣诞节这样的节日之外，美国人不经常送礼物，与 B选项相符合。A、C和D都在原文中
找到依据，所以不正确。

三 文章长难句分析与佳句赏析
1. However, those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little
more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk. 直译：但是，那
些习惯比较长的问候的人还需花些时间适应美国人的简洁的谈话。
句子结构分析：这个句子的开头，however 表示转折。句子主干为：Those may require
time before they feel comfortable. Who 引导的定语从句修饰those. A little 修饰more.
2. If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may
become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply . 直译：如果称赞他们或者
是用一种特别礼貌的方式表示感谢，他们会很不自在，而且变得无所是从。
句子结构分析：这是一个由if引导的条件状语主从句，in a ?way 以一种?的方式。
In reply 是一个固定的搭配，指的是回答，回复。

四、核心词汇
prefer to 倾向于?..,； to some extent 某种程度上；occupation 职业，工作； be
accustomed to 习惯于，后面跟名词或动词的ing形式；greeting 问候；embarrassed 尴
尬的；

五、全文翻译
一项研究表明，美国人喜欢简短的回答“是，”“不，”“好的 ”，或者非常流行的“是”，
而不用很长的回答。但是简洁的回答也不代表美国人不礼貌。通常美国人都很忙，见面时简
单问候一声“ 咳”。如果你在美国生活，你会经常听到这样的问候。美国人，不论地位高低，
年龄和职业如此。但是， 那些习惯较长 问候的人总需要些时间去适应。
美国人有时不舒服时会使用一些很平常的话。如果人们 称赞他们或者向他们非常礼貌的
道谢，他们会很拘谨，而且不知道如何作答。他们不想没礼貌或是粗鲁， 你可以确信他们喜
欢所说到的关于他们的事情。除一些假日以外，比如圣诞节，美国人通常不送礼物。因 此，
你会发现美国人接受礼物是会觉得很尴尬，尤其是他们没做任何回赠的准备时。总体来讲他
们热情但随意。

Passage 2
一、文章总体结构分析 < br>这篇短文主要阐述的是人口的问题。第一段主要讲的是人口多的好处和坏处。第二段讲
的是发展中 国家和发达国家对控制人口增长的不同观点。发展中国家无疑是需要控制人口增
长，而发达国家的问题就 比较复杂，涉及诸多方面。

二、 试题具体分析
6. 【答案】D 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。见第一段，人口多时 “each person
produces less and this means a lower average income ?” 人口相对少时情况相反。
因此D选项符合题意。A、B和C 选项均不符合题意。
7. 【答案】B 本题考查的是考生对具体句子意思的把握。见第一段最后一句，“Other
economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization
and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not
likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.”依据这句话，
举例“roads and railways”提示我们选“transport system”。概括成B选项。其余
选项文中找不到根据。
8. 【答案】B 本题考查的是考生对关键句子及整篇文章的把握。第二段指出，“A
decreasing birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining
market for manufactured goods.”这个题在文章中找不到直接的答案，必须通过间接的推
理和排除。低出生率导致失业。所 以选B。
9. 【答案】A 本题考查的是考生对文章细节的把握。第二段最后一句，“the government
of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather
than one which is stable or in decline发 达国家政府更希望看到人口缓慢增长而不
是...?”可见，低增长的出生率更有利于发达国家。
10. 【答案】C 本题考查的是考生对全文的整体理解。“One of the difficulties in
carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official
attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level
of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials.在世界
范围实施总体的计划生育不是一个简单的工作 ”，原因在开头提到“态度...各国不同。”
三、 文章长难句分析与佳句赏析
1 Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for
specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways,
which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. 直
译：其他经济学家认为，人口庞大为某些领域设施的发展创造了广阔的空间，例如，港口 ，
公路和铁路。而这些交通设施必须是在极大的需求前提下才能建造的。
句子结构分析：主干为Other economists have argued?, that引导的是宾语从句，
在这一宾语从句中主语为large population, gives more scope for 为谓语部分，“为?
创造了更多空间”, specialization 和the development of..是对scope一词外延的补充；
which 引导的非限定性定语从句，修饰facilities.
2 One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program
lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to
country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of
food and raw materials. 直译：实施全世界范围内的出生率控制还是有困难 的，主要在于

各国政府的观点，这缘于一个国家的工业化程度和食物及原材料的储量。
句子结构分析：整个句子的主干是：Difficulty lies in the fact. “in carrying out ?
program” 为介词短语作定语，修饰difficulty, fact 后的that 从句为同位语从句，从
句主干为official attitudes vary from country to country.. “depending on the level
of?and the availability of?”为修饰谓语动词vary 的方式状语。Carry out实施，lie
in 在于，vary from?from? 从?变成?, depend on决定于?。

四、核心词汇
inferior 低级的，贫瘠的；cultivate 耕种；obtain获得；specialization专业化；
facility 设施；justify 证明?..的公正；availability可用性， available 可利用的；
birthrate出生率；consequence结果；weaken 变弱；

五、全文翻译
人口众多的利弊，已成为科学家们长时间讨论的话题。他们认为好的 土地是供给是有限
的。为了养活大量的人口，必须耕种贫瘠的土地而好的土地太紧张。这样每个人所产生 的东
西少就意味着人均所得就会少因此只能满足很少的人。而有些经济学家认为人口众多也会为
某些领域设施的发展创造了广阔的空间，例如，港口，公路和铁路。而这些交通设施必须是
在极大的需求 前提下才能建造的。
其中之一的困难就是实施全世界范围内的出生率控制计划，主要在于各国政府的观 点，
这缘于一个国家的工业化程度和食物及原材料的储量。在发展中国家，由于人口众多，食物、
空间和资源有限，政府所关注的就是出生率。在发达国家，问题会更复杂。出生率低会导致
失业，因为 这样会造成需求的减少。住房、物价和建筑业都会受到影响。考虑到这些因素，
发达国家的政府希望看到 人口适度增长，而不是增长或减少。

Passage 3
一、文章结构总体分析
这篇小短文主要阐述的是伞的历史。从伞最初用来遮阳说起，后阐述了伞在不同国家的
最早的使 用及所代表的一些含义。

二、试题具体分析
11【答案】B 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。“But actually the umbrella was not
invented as protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.”
根据第一段最后一句话可以得知。
12【答案】C 本题考查的是考生对具体句子的理解。“Probably the first to use it were
the Chinese,”根据第二段可直接得知。
13【答案】C 本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。“In the Far East In ancient times,
the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.”
根据第三段最后一句可得知。
14【答案】D 本题考查的是考生对全文的把握以及关键点的理解。“And there was a
strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority.
In the Far East In ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal
people or by those in high office.”可知，雨伞在古代曾经是权利和荣耀的象征，所以
只能 由皇族和高官持有，故此项不对。
15【答案】B 本题考查的是考生对全文意思的把握。通读全文可 知，文章讲雨伞的不同

角色，包括遮阳，遮雨，在古代还能象征权利和荣誉，所以B能最 好地概括全文，其他项都
太过片面。

三、文章长难句分析与佳句赏析
这篇短文的句子以简单句为主，所以不是很难以理解。
It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made
in a variety of colors.直译：直到20世纪妇女们使用的伞的颜色才丰富起来。
结构分析：这是文章中一个较为典型的句型。It is ?that 为强调句型。Not until
直到??才，对这一结构进行强调为it is not until?that. 在这里，原句为women’s
umbrellas didn’t begin to be made in a variety of colors until the twentieth century.

四、核心词汇
keep off 避开，不接近；ancient古代的；sunshade 遮阳；authority 权威，权势；Greece
希腊；disappear消失；

五、全文翻译 对我们来说，下雨的时候撑伞是很平常的事情。但实际上，伞最初不是用来防雨的。起
先是用来遮阳 的。
没有人知道是谁发明了雨伞，只知道伞在古代就有。大概是中国人最开始使用伞吧，那
是 在公元前11世纪的时候。
我们知道伞在古埃及和古巴比伦用作遮阳。而且代表着荣耀和权势。在古代 的远东地区，
伞只允许皇族和地位显赫的人使用。
在欧洲，希腊人首先使用伞。伞在当地很普遍。但是欧洲最早使用伞的是古罗马人，用
于遮雨。
在中世纪，人们不再使用伞。直到16世纪在意大利出现，再一次成为权势的象征。
伞在样式 上一直没有太多的变化，只是变轻了不少。直到20世纪妇女们使用的伞的颜
色才丰富起来。
