Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Car crashes are the leading cause of injury and death among U.S. children, and though most of us now think of car seats as standard baby equipment, about half of all children under the age of four who died in vehicle accidents last year were not restrained. It is calculated that only about two-thirds of children aged five to fifteen buckle their seat belts.
Moreover, the traffic-safety agency estimates that even among parents who always strap their children in, 85% are not doing it properly. They often don’t know where best to place the kids, don’t use the proper restraint for their age and weight, or don’t install the safety seats properly. Despite the reports about front seats collapsing onto back seats when certain car models get in accidents, the safest place in the car for any child up to the age of 12 is still the back seat. Babies up to 9 kg and one year old should ride in rear-facing infant seats.
Never place a child under age 12 in the front seat with a working passenger-side air bag. These devices are discharged at 320 km/h and can be triggered by low-speed fender benders. They have killed 77 kids in the U.S. since 1993. If you must place a child in front, make sure the passenger-side bag is switched off.
Children over age one should ride in forward-facing safety seats with a five-point harness system. A child who weighs at least 18 kg or at least lm high can graduate to a booster seat that elevates her so that the standard shoulder and lap belt fits properly.

睡眠能使人消除疲劳、恢复精力。本文主要介绍不同年龄阶段的人和不同工种的人的睡眠时间,并谈到了人保持清醒的极限时间。
47.A答题时,看见and引导的两个并列句,可知动词时态需一致,且主语为第三人称单数,在备选项中找动词单数形式即可。把选中的A带入原文,意为“睡眠能使人消除疲劳”,符合常识,故选A。
48.C结合句意“一旦醒来,记忆力得到改善,然后就能以更好的_______来看待烦恼和问题”,名词中只有(观点,角度)最符合文意。
49.D所选词需首字母大写,在D、L中选择。上文提到成人每天所需的`睡眠时间为8~10小时左右,由此可推断每天睡眠16~18个小时的应该是未成年人,D符合文意。
50.B结合常识可知,随着年龄的增长,婴儿睡眠的时间(量)逐渐减少,故选项中B(数量)符合文意。
51.G空格所在句主要提到A worker with a ______demanding job和an executive worker(行政工人)在睡眠时间上的对比,由此可推知前者应指体力劳动者,故G(身体上地)最符合文意。
52,I此句差谓语,所以空格处应为动词,且主语都是过世的人,时态用过去式,故选I。意为“显而易见的是拿破仑、爱迪生和达尔文平均每晚只睡4-6个小时”。
53.H空格处需填一形容词,在H、D之间选择。上文先列举了各类人包括名人的睡眠时间,按照逻辑,这里是说无论你的个人需求跟以上谈到的有何不同,故H符合文意。
54.E结合句意“到那个年纪你也会养成一个睡眠_______:最佳的入眠时间、最喜欢的床、最喜欢的睡姿…”可知,E(习惯,惯例)最符合文意。
55.K分析空格所在句,前半部分和后半部分形成对比关系,且此处应填入连词,选项中只有K符合。
56.F上文提到有关人能坚持多久不睡的调查,由此可推测空格所在句指的是人不睡眠的极限时间,故F符合文意。

Passage One
文章精要
文章指出,现在美国人很少能全家人坐在一起慢慢地共享晚餐,取而代之的是食用便于加工的半成品食物以及各式快餐。热衷于各类活动,习惯开车,原本是家庭主妇的女性外出工作,这些都是美国人就餐习惯改变的原因。
57.C综合推断题。文章首段指出,美国人精力充沛,总是四处奔忙,赶着赴一个又一个约会,赶着参加各种活动。他们没有时间精心准备饭菜,也没时间悠闲地吃饭,许多家庭很少坐在一起吃晚饭。为了参加俱乐部和社团活动,他们常胡乱地吃口饭,由此推断,美国人有许多事要做,因此无法悠闲地吃精心准备的饭菜,故选C。
58.A综合推断题。文章第二段指出,美国成为快餐的消费大国;第三段指出,巨大的转变是在“二战”后发生的,当时许多女性开始做全职工作,在家与家人共处的时间减少了,她们想在做好家庭主妇的同时尽好职业女性的本分,因此要合理地利用时间,由此推断,自从大量女性开始做全职工作,原本的主妇不再有时间做饭,所以美国人经常食用快餐,故选A。
59.D综合推断题。文章第四段指出,在女性开始工作的同时,家庭娱乐的重心由收音机转向了电视,没人愿意错过自己喜爱的电视节目,因此吃晚餐的地点由饭厅转换到了起居室,由此推断,美国人开始在起居室吃饭是由于电视的吸引,故选D。
60.B信息明示题。文章最后一段第三句指出,随着高速公路的发展,美国出现了快餐连锁店,由此可知,快餐连锁店的繁荣发展是伴随着高速公路的发展而进行的,故选B。
61.B主旨题。文章首段指出,美国人现在四处奔忙,很少有时间悠闲地享用家里做的饭菜;第二段提到,他们在家通常吃方便食品;第三段指出,美国人饮食习惯的转变是由于“二战”后女性开始做全职工作;第四、五段指出,随着电视的流行,又出现了适合边看电视边吃的速冻快餐;最后一段指出,随着高速公路的发展,快餐连锁店开始繁荣起来。综合可知,文章的主题是美国人饮食习惯的转变,故选B。

在美国,造成儿童车祸死亡的一大原因是他们没有受到适当的保护。文章论述了应该如何根据儿童的年龄、体重、身高等正确使用安全座椅或安全带以保护他们在车里的安全。
62.D主旨题。文章指出,造成儿童车祸死亡的一大原因是他们没有受到适当的保护,文章还介绍了如何根据儿童的年龄、体重、身高等正确使用安全座椅或安全带以保护他们在车中的安全,所以D正确。 63.B信息明示题。文章第二段第二句指出,家长通常不知道让孩子坐哪里最好,或是他们没有用适合孩子的安全带,或是安全座椅安装得不正确,即A、C、D都是不恰当的行为,但并没有提及B项,故选B。
64.D信息明示题。文章第二段最后指出,the safest place in the car for any child up to the age of 12 is still the back seat,即12岁以下的孩子应该坐车后座,所以D正确。
65.A综合推断题。文章第三段最后一句指出,如果你不得不让孩子坐车前座,你就必须关掉前座旁的安全气囊,由此推断,关掉后的安全气囊对孩子应该没有危险,所以A正确。

Part Ⅵ Translation
87.the company would have gone bankrupt during the economic crisis
本题考查虚拟语气的用法。But for意为“要不是……”,与虚拟语气连用,作用等同于条件状语从句,当表示与过去事实相反时,从句中要用had+过去分词结构,主句中则用would/should/could/might+have+过去分词,本句是与过去事实相反的假设,“倒闭”可译成go bankrupt,“经济危机”可译成economic crisis,由此得到答案the company would have gone bankrupt during the economic crisis。
88.have lost its competitive advantage/edge
本题考查动词不定式的完成时用法。句中的时间状语recently说明动作已经完成,因此要用完成时。“竞争优势”可译成competitive advantage或者competitive edge,故可得答案have lost its competitive advantage/edge。
89.of course not as fluently as a native speaker
考查省略句和as…as结构的用法。“当然”可译成of course,“和……一样”可译成as…as,“流利”是副词,可译成fluently,“本国人”可译成a native speaker,所以“当然没有像本国人说的那么流利”即可译成of course he does not speak English as fluently as a native speaker does,英语句中,如果句子前后有一致的主语和谓语,为了避免重复,通常会省掉重复的部分,由此得到答案。 90.I should have left Beijing yesterday 表示“本应……,但实际上却没有”可译为should have done的结构。
91.one of the most interesting books that I have read “最有趣的书之一”可译作0ne of the most interesting books,“我所读过的”可译作后置的定语从句,注意由于先行词前有最高级修饰,所以关系代词只能用that而不能用which。
