Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. 1 agreed upon among linguists, this 2 covers four important aspects: system, arbitrary, symbol and vocal. It is a system, 3 linguistic elements are arranged systematically, 4 chaotically. Its being

a system ensures a common 5 on which the users can 6 it and understand it. Arbitrary, in the

7 that there is usually without 8 connection between a word (dog, for instance) and the thing referred to by the word “dog”. A 9 from Shakespeare would make a good example: “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet。” That is why there are 10 languages in the world, with so many different sounds and writings, all of which 11 more or less the same meanings. It is symbolic, because words (writings/pictogram) are associated 12 objects, concepts, actions, by nothing more than 13 . In other words, language users 14 the sounds or vocal forms to symbolize 15 they wish to convey. It is vocal, because sound or speech is the primary 16 for all human languages. 17 systems developed much later than the spoken forms. This recognition can be proved by the fact 18 every normal human can 19 in a certain language but not 20 is able to write。

语言是人类用来交际的任意性的语音符号的体系。这是语言学家们普遍认同的定义。它包含四个重要概念：系统性，任意性，符号性以及语音性。语言是一个体系，因为语言成分是有条理地而不是凌乱地拼凑在一起。因为语言有体系，使用者就有共同处，便于掌握和理解。说语言是任意性的，意思是，某个词(如“狗”)与它所指的物体之间通常没有本质的内在的固有的联系。援引莎氏的一句名言很能说明，“一朵玫瑰不管它叫什么名字，闻起来都是一样香。”所以，世界上有如此众多不同的语音和书面文图，其含义都略同或相同。说语言是符号，因为词语跟客观世界的物体，行动，想法等的联系是约定俗成的。换言之，人们用一定的音和语言形式去象征地表达和交流事物。语言是有声的，是因为语音或口头对于全人类的语言都是第一性的，文字是第二性的。这种观点可从下列事实得到证明：所有正常人都能讲一种语言，但并不一定能写它。

“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.”That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in

cloning Missy later this year-or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.

Westhusin’s experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missyplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missy’s DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.

Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin’s phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missy’s mysterious owner, who wishes to remain unknown to protect his privacy. He’s plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy’s owners and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clone differs from Missy.”

The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusin’s work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems. “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”

1. Which of the following best represents Mr. Westhusin’s attitude toward cloning?

［A］Animal cloning is a stupid attempt.

［B］Human cloning is not yet close to getting it worked out.

［C］Cloning is too inefficient and should be stopped.

［D］Animals cloning yes, and human cloning at least not now.

2. The Missyplicity project does not seem very successful probably because _____.

［A］there isn’t enough fund to support the research

［B］cloning dogs is more complicated than cloning cats and bulls

［C］Mr. Westhusin is too busy taking care of the business

［D］the owner is asking for an exact copy of his pet

3. When Mr. Westhusin says “... cloning is dangerous,” he implies that _____.

［A］lab technicians may be affected by chemicals

［B］cats and dogs in the lab may die of diseases

［C］experiments may waste lots of lives

［D］cloned animals could outlive the natural ones

4. We can infer from the third paragraph that _____.

［A］rich people are more interested in cloning humans than animals

［B］cloning of animal pets is becoming a prosperous industry

［C］there is no distinction between a cloned and a natural dog

［D］Missy’s master pays a lot in a hope to revive the dog

5. We may conclude from the text that _____.

［A］human cloning will not succeed unless the technique is more efficient

［B］scientists are optimistic about cloning technique

［C］many people are against the idea of human cloning

［D］cloned animals are more favored by owners even if they are weaker

Text 2

For more than two decades, U.S. courts have been limiting affirmative-action programs in universities and other areas. The legal rationale is that racial preferences are unconstitutional, even those intended to compensate for racism or intolerance. For many colleges, this means students can be admitted only on merit, not on their race or ethnicity. It has been a divisive issue across the U.S., as educators blame the prolonged reaction to affirmative-action for declines in minority admissions. Meanwhile, activists continue to battle race preferences in courts from Michigan to North Carolina.

Now, chief executives of about two dozen companies have decided to plunge headfirst into this politically unsettled debate. They, together with 36 universities and 7 nonprofitable organizations, formed a forum that set forth an action plan essentially designed to help colleges circumvent court-imposed restrictions on affirmative action. The CEOs’ motive: “Our audience is growing more diverse, so the communities we serve benefit if our employees are racially and ethnically diverse as well”, says one CEO of a compang that owns nine television stations.

Among the steps the forum is pushing: finding creative yet legal ways to boost minority enrollment through new admissions policies; promoting admissions decisions that look at more than test scores; and encouraging universities to step up their minority outreach and financial aid. And to counter accusations by critics to challenge these tactics in court, the group says it will give legal assistance to colleges sued for trying them. “Diversity diminished by the court must be made up for in other legitimate, legal ways,” says, a forum member.

One of the more controversial methods advocated is the so-called 10% rule. The idea is for public universities-which educate three-quarters of all U.S. undergraduates-to admit students who are in the top 10% of their high school graduating class. Doing so allows colleges to take minorities who excel in average urban schools, even if they wouldn’t have made the cut under the current statewide ranking many universities use.

1. U.S. court restrictions on affirmative action signifies that______.

［A］minorities no longer hold the once favored status

［B］the quality of American colleges has improved

［C］racial preferences has replaced racial prejudice

［D］the minority is on an equal footing with the majority

2. What has been a divisive issue across the United States?

［A］Whether affirmative action should continue to exist.

［B］Whether this law is helping minorities or the white majority.

［C］Whether racism exists in American college admission.

［D］Whether racial intolerance should be punished.

3. CEOs of big companies decided to help colleges enroll more minority students because they_____.

［A］think it wrong to deprive the minorities of their rights to receive education

［B］want to conserve the fine characteristics of American nation

［C］want a workforce that reflects the diversity of their customers

［D］think it their duty to help develop education of the country

4. The major tactic the forum uses is to_____.

［A］battle the racial preferences in court

［B］support colleges involved in lawsuits of racism

［C］strive to settle this political debate nationwide

［D］find legally viable ways to ensure minority admissions

5. If the 10% rule is applied, ______.

［A］the best white high school students can get into colleges

［B］public universities can get excellent students

［C］students from poor rural families can go to colleges

［D］good minority students can get into public universities

Text 3

Positive surprises from government reports on retail sales, industrial production, and housing in the past few months are leading economists to revise their real gross domestic product (GDP) forecasts upward supporting the notion that the recession ended in December or January.

Bear in mind: This recovery won’t have the vitality normally associated with an upturn. Economists now expect real GDP growth of about 1.5 in the first quarter. That’s better than the 0.4 the consensus projected in December, but much of the additional growth will come from a slower pace of inventory drawdowns, not from surging demand.

Moreover, the economy won’t grow fast enough to help the labor markets much. The only good news there is that jobless claims have fallen back from their spike after September 11 and that their current level suggests the pace of layoffs is easing.

The recovery also does not mean the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates soon. The January price indexes show that inflation remains tame. Consequently, the Fed can take its time shifting monetary policy from extreme accommodation to relative neutrality.

Perhaps the best news from the latest economic reports was the January data on industrial production. Total output fell only 0.1, its best showing since July. Factory output

was flat, also the best performance in six months. Those numbers may not sound encouraging, but manufacturers have been in recession since late 2000. The data suggest that the factory sector is finding a bottom from which to start its recovery.

Production of consumer goods, for instance, is almost back up to where it was a year ago. That’s because consumer demand for motor vehicles and other goods and the housing industry remained healthy during the recession, and they are still growing in early 2002.

Besides, both the monthly homebuilding starts number and the housing market index for the past two months are running above the averages for all of 2001, suggesting that home-building is off to a good start and probably won’t be big drag on GDP growth this year.

Equally important to the outlook is how the solid housing market will help demand for home-related goods and services. Traditionally, consumers buy the bulk of their furniture, electronics, and textiles within a year of purchasing their homes. Thus, spending on such items will do well this year, even as car sales slip now that incentives are less attractive. Look for the output of consumer goods to top year-ago level in coming months.

Even the business equipment sector seems to have bottomed out. Its output rose 0.4% in January, led by a 0.6% jump computer gear. A pickup in orders for capital goods in the fourth quarter suggests that production will keep increasing-although at a relaxed pace-in coming months.

1. American economists are surprised to see that______.

［A］they have to revise the GDP forecasts so often

［B］their government is announcing the end of a recession

［C］US economy is showing some signs of an upturn

［D］GDP growth reflects stronger domestic demand

2. The most encouraging fact about the US economy is that_____ .

［A］employment rates have risen faster than expected

［B］the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates soon

［C］industrial production is reaching its lowest point

［D］some economic sectors have become leading industries

3. Of which of the following did the author provide a guardedly optimistic view?

［A］GDP growth.［B］The number of layoffs.

［C］Price indexes.［D］Output of consumer goods.

4. Which of the following is the guarantee of a better future for US economy?

［A］Motor vehicles.［B］Housing market.

［C］Business equipment.［D］Computer gear.

5. Which of the following best summarizes the U. S. economic situation today?

［A］American economists are painting a gloomy picture.

［B］It is slowly warming up with moderate growth.

［C］Recession may come back anytime in the coming months.

［D］Most sectors are picking up at a surprisingly fast pace.

Timothy Berners-Lee might be giving Bill Gates a run for the money, but he passed up his shot at fabulous wealth-intentionally-in 1990. That’s when he decided not to patent the technology used to create the most important software innovation in the final decade of the 20th century: the World Wide Web. Berners-Lee wanted to make the world a richer place, not a mass personal wealth. So he gave his brainchild to us all.

Berners-Lee regards today’s Web as a rebellious adolescent that can never fulfill his original expectations. By 2005, he hopes to begin replacing it with the Semantic Web-a smart network that will finally understand human languages and make computers virtually as easy to work with as other humans.

As envisioned by Berners-Lee, the new Web would understand not only the meaning of words and concepts but also the logical relationships among them. That has awesome potential. Most knowledge is built on two pillars: semantics and mathematics. In number-crunching, computers already outclass people. Machines that are equally adroit at dealing with language and reason won’t just help people uncover new insights; they could blaze new trails on their own.

Even with a fairly crude version of this future Web, mining online repositories for nuggets of knowledge would no longer force people to wade through screen after screen of extraneous data. Instead, computers would dispatch intelligent agents, or software messengers, to explore Web sites by the thousands and logically sift out just what’s relevant. That alone would provide a major boost in productivity at work and at home. But there’s far more.

Software agents could also take on many routine business chores, such as helping manufacturers find and negotiate with lowest-cost parts suppliers and handling help-desk questions. The Semantic Web would also be a bottomless trove of eureka insights. Most inventions and scientific breakthroughs, including today’s Web, spring from novel combinations of existing knowledge. The Semantic Web would make it possible to evaluate more combinations overnight than a person could juggle in a lifetime. Sure scientists and other people can post ideas on the Web today for others to read. But with machines doing the reading and translating technical terms, related ideas from millions of Web pages could be distilled and summarized. That will lift the ability to assess and integrate information to new heights. The Semantic Web, Berners-Lee predicts, will help more people become more intuitive as well as more analytical. It will foster global collaborations among people with diverse cultural perspectives, so we have a better chance of finding the right solutions to the really big issues-like the environment and climate warming.

1. Had he liked, Berners-Lee could have _____.

［A］created the most important innovation in the 1990s

［B］accumulated as much personal wealth as Bill Gates

［C］patented the technology of Microsoft software

［D］given his brainchild to us all

2. The Semantic Web will be superior to today’s web in that it _____.

［A］surpasses people in processing numbers

［B］fulfills user’s original expectations

［C］deals with language and reason as well as number

［D］responds like a rebellious adult

3. To search for any information needed on tomorrow’s Web, one only has to _____.

［A］wade through screen after screen of extraneous data

［B］ask the Web to dispatch some messenger to his door

［C］use smart software programs called “agents”

［D］explore Web sites by the thousands and pick out what’s relevant

4. Thanks to the Web of the future, _____.

［A］millions of web pages can be translated overnight

［B］one can find most inventions and breakthroughs online

［C］software manufacturers can lower the cost of computer parts

［D］scientists using different specialty terms can collaborate much better

5. The most appropriate title for this text is.

［A］Differences between Two Webs

［B］The Humanization of Computer Software

［C］A New Solution to World Problems

［D］The Creator and His Next Creation

The making of weathervanes (devices fixed on the top of buildings to show directions of the wind) is an ancient skill, going back to early Egyptian times. Today the craft is still very much alive in the workshop that Graham Smith has set up. He is one of the few people in the country who make hand-cut weathervanes. Graham’s designs are individually created and tailored to the specific requirements of his customers. “That way I can produce a unique personalized item,” he explains, “A lot of my customers are women buying presents for their husbands. They want a distinctive gift that represents the man’s business or leisure interests.”

It’s all a far cry from the traditional cock, the most common design for weathervanes.

It was not a cock but a witch on a broomstick that featured on the first weathervane Graham ever made. Friends admired his surprise present for his wife and began asking him to make vanes for them. “I realized that when it came to subjects that could be made into them, the possibilities were limitless,” he says.

(41)_____________.

That was five years ago and he has no regrets about his new direction. “My previous work didn’t have an artistic element to it, whereas this is exciting and creative,” he says. “I really enjoy the design side.”

(42) _____________.

Graham also keeps plenty of traditional designs in stock, since they prove as popular as the one-offs. “It seems that people are attracted to handcrafting,”Graham says. “They welcome the opportunity to acquire something a little bit different.”

(43) _____________.

“I have found my place in the market. People love the individuality and I get a lot of satisfaction from seeing a nondescript shape turn into something almost lifelike,” he says.

(44) _____________.

“And nowadays, with more and more people moving to the country, individuals want to put an exclusive finishing touch to their properties. It has been a boost to crafts like mines,”

(45) _____________.

American and Danish buyers in particular are showing interest. “Pricing,” he explains, “depends on the intricacy of the design.”His most recent request was for a curly-coated dog. Whatever the occasion, Graham can create a gift with a difference.

［A］Graham has become increasingly busy, supplying flat-packed weathervanes to clients worldwide.

［B］Graham decided to concentrate his efforts on a weathervane business. He had served an apprenticeship as a precision engineer and had worked in that trade for 15 years when he and his wife, Liz, agreed to swap roles-she went out to work as an architectural assistant and he stayed at home to look after the children and build up the business.

［C］Last month, a local school was opened with his galleon ship weathervane hoisted above it.

［D］“For centuries, weathervanes have kept communities in touch with the elements, signaling those shifts in wind direction that bring about changes in the weather,” he explains.

［E］Graham has no plans for expansion, as he wants to keep the business as a rural craft.

［F］Graham has now perfected over 100 original designs. He works to very fine detail, always seeking approval for the design of the silhouette from the customer before proceeding with the hand-cutting.

Part C

Directions:

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points) The value which society places on work has traditionally been closely associated with the

value of individualism and as a result it has had negative effects on the development of social security. (46）It has meant that in the first place the amount of benefits must be small lest people’s willingness to work and support themselves suffers. Even today with flat rate and earnings-related benefits, the total amount of the benefit must always be smaller than the person’s wages for fear of malingering. “The purpose of social security,”said Huntford referring to Sweden’s comparatively generous benefits, “is to dispel need without crossing the threshold of prosperity.” Second, social security benefits are granted under conditions designed to reduce the likelihood of even the boldest of spirits attempting to live on the State rather than work. Many of the rules surrounding the payment of unemployment or supplementary benefit are for this purpose. Third, the value placed on work is manifested in a more positive way as in the case of disability. (47）People suffering from accidents incurred at work or from occupational diseases receive preferential treatment by the social security service compared with those suffering from civil accidents and ordinary illnesses.

Yet, the stranglehold which work has had on the social security service has been increasingly loosened over the years. The provision of family allowances, family income supplements, the slight liberalization of the wages stop are some of the manifestations of this trend. (48）Similarly, the preferential treatment given to occupational disability by the social security service has been increasingly questioned with the demands for the upgrading of benefits for the other types of disability. It is felt that in contemporary industrial societies the distinction between occupational and non-occupational disability is artificial for many non-occupational forms of disability have an industrial origin even if they do not occur directly in the workplace. (49）There is also the additional reason which we mentioned in the argument for one benefit for all one-parent families, that a modern social security service must concentrate on meeting needs irrespective of the cause behind such needs.

The relationship between social security and work is not all a one-way affair. (50）It is true that until very recently the general view was that social security “represented a type of luxury and was essentially anti-economic.” It was seen as merely government expenditure for the needy. As we saw, however, redundancy payments and earnings-related unemployment benefits have been used with some success by employers and the government to reduce workers’ opposition towards loss of their jobs.

总体分析

本文介绍了东日本铁路公司引人关注的新计划。文章第一段介绍说东日本铁路公司创造性地利用车站内部及周围房地产的计划正引起越来越多人的关注。第二段具体介绍了这一计划的内容及好处，即适应信息时代的要求，把车站作为网上购物的物品收取地，这样既为消费者提供了方便，又提高了递送物品的安全性。第三段介绍了该公司引入智能卡代替目前使用的各种磁卡作车票的计划及其优点。

试题精解

1.［精解］本题考查名词的词义辨析。空格处填入的名词与growth搭配，由上下文语义可知，此处表达的含义是“铁路业没有令人振奋的发展前景”，Prospect“景色，前景，期望”指的是possibility of advancement or success。所以［C］项正确。perspective做可数名词时多指viewpoint（态度，观点），如You have the wrong perspective on this situation（对于那个情势的未来发展，你的看法是错的）。outlook用作“前景”讲时用单数形式，如the outlook for economic growth（经济发展的前景）。spectacle“景象，奇观，场面，眼镜”，如A quarrel between drunken women is an unpleasant spectacle（喝醉酒的女人吵架是个丑恶的场面）。

2.［精解］本题考查通过上下文选择适当的副词的能力。空格处的副词修饰的动作是use real-estate assets in and around train stations（利用车站内部及周围的房地产）。由上下文可知，该举动是有创造性的，所以才会引起人们的关注，因此［A］项creatively“创造性地”正确。originally“最初，原先，新颖地”,如The apartment was decorated quite originally（这套公寓装饰的十分别致）；authentically“确实地，真正地，逼真地”，其形容词形式为authentic，如DiMaggio was an authentic folk hero（迪马乔是一位真正的民间英雄）；initially“最初，开头”，如His response was initially adamant（他的反应开始很强硬）。

3.［精解］本题考查动词词义的辨析。由语法知识可知，空格前的it指代的是主语JR East（东日本铁路），

所填动词表示的是该公司对“Station Renaissance”这一计划发出的动作。［C］项embarked“着手，从事”是不及物动词，常用于embark on/upon sth.，如He has embarked on a new career（他开始了一种新的职业生涯），embark on a new plan意为“着手一项新的计划”。［A］项displayed指把物品展示给人们看，display a plan 意为“展示一张设计图”；［B］项demonstrated“示范，证明”与plan搭配，指通过具体演示来说明计划的可行性，均不符合文意。［D］项unveiled“揭露，公布”正确，原文意为：东日本铁路有限公司在11月份公布的“车站复兴”计划中说……。

4.［精解］本题考查动词短语的辨析。空格处填入的动词短语与using its commercial spaces for shops and restaurants搭配，应符合文意。首先［B］、［C］两项的用法分别为set out to do sth.“打算、试图做某事”，如He failed in what he had set out to do（他没有做到自己原来想做的事）；come around to sth.“平息，苏醒，改变观点、立场”，如It will take him a while to come around to the idea（他需要时间来接受这个观点），可排除。［D］项指时间上的扩展，如The economic unrest spread over several years（经济的动荡不安延续了数年之久），不符合文意。［A］项go beyond“不止，超出”与状语extending them to呼应，意为“不仅把它的商业空地用于开商店和餐馆，而且还……”。

5.［精解］本题考查名词词义的辨析。空格处填入的名词充当extending them to结构中的介词宾语，其中extend...to...意为“扩展……用于……”，them指上文中的its commercial spaces(东日本铁路的商业空地)。因此，所填的名词应与前文一致，表达这些空地的用处或功能，应与use的名词形式usage属同一范畴。［A］、［C］项都有“使用”的意思，但application常与“科技成果、理论、法规”等搭配，强调它们的实际应用，一般不与spaces搭配，如The new invention would have a wide range of applications in industry（这项新发明会在工业上获得广泛应用），［C］项functions“功能，作用”正确，即“还要把这些商业空地用于更加适应信息时代的功能上”。enterprise“企业，事业，计划”；performance“履行，执行，性能”。

6.［精解］本题考查名词词义的辨析。空格处填入的名词作pick-up（物品收取）修饰的中心名词，说明东日本铁路公司想把车站作为物品收取的什么。district指有一定特色的区域、地区，如rural/mountainous/financial/theatre district；或行政区域，如election/school/postal district。vicinity“临近地区，附近”，常用单数，如the inhabitants of the vicinity（附近地区的居民）。resort“旅游、度假胜地”，如seaside/beach/ski resort。Location泛指某个地点，与文中pick-up搭配，意为：物品收取地，符合文意。

7.［精解］本题考查动词词义的辨析。空格处填入的过去分词与over the Internet搭配，作定语修饰such goods as books, flowers and groceries。由其中心语goods可知文章所讲的是网上购物，所以［B］项pur chase“买，购买”正确，即“东日本铁路打算把车站作为网上所购物品的收取地”。［A］项acquire“获得”，虽然也可以表示“购得”，如The company has just acquired new premises（公司刚购得新办公楼），但它强调“得到”的结果，但该处顾客应该还没有得到货物，所以不正确。［C］preside常与over搭配，意为“主持，主管”，接的宾语为“会议、活动、事件、机构”等，如preside over the meeting/the business.主持会议/主管业务。［D］项attain“达到，(经过努力)获得”也是强调“得到”，不正确。

8.［精解］本题考查名词的辨析。由上下文可知，该处应泛指城市人，所以［C］项city dwellers“城市居民”符合文意。［A］项logers“寄宿者”,［B］项tenants“承租人，房客”，［D］项boarders“寄膳宿者，寄宿生”，都具体到以某种特殊方式居住的人，不合文意。

9.［精解］本题考查介词的用法。depend on sb/sth for sth是习惯搭配，意为：依靠……来做……，符合文意,原文意为：都市人严重依赖列车作为上下班的交通工具。depend on sth as sth意为：依靠……作为……，但as后通常接名词，如We depended on E-mail as the only way of communication when she was abroad （她出国时我们依靠邮件作为惟一的通讯方式）。in“在……期间，从事于”，of“……的（表所属）”。

10.［精解］本题考查动词词义的辨析。空格处填入的动词作谓语，表明铁路公司对about 16 million people a day go to its train stations anyway（无论如何，每天大约一千六百万人来到它的车站）发出的动作。参考选项，该句所述内容应是该公司“计算或估计”的，［A］项figures正确。［B］项exhibits意为“展示（物品）”，与上下文文意不符。［C］项convinces“使确信，使信服”，后面接人，如We convinced Anne（我们说服了安妮），如果要接事，应改为is convinced。［D］项speculates指“没有确切证据的推测、估计”，在这

里不符合文意；

11.［精解］本题考查动词词义的辨析。空格处填入的动词与consumers extra travel and missed home deliveries搭配。所填动词首先要能接双宾语，即使用sb. sth.的结构，其次搭配后的含义要符合文意。［A］项“剥夺，使丧失”的搭配为deprive sb. of sth.，如deprived him of sleep（使他不能入睡）；［B］项“重新得到，找回，挽回”的搭配是retrieve sth. from sb.如retrieve my bag from him（从他那找回我的包）；［D］项“免除，豁免”的搭配为exempt sb from sth.，如exempt him from military service（免服兵役）。只有［C］项的搭配为spare sb. （from）sth.，意为“使某人免于做某事”，如spare his mother any anxiety（不让母亲有丝毫的担忧），原文意为：在车站收取物品使消费者节省了路途而且也不像往家里递送那样容易丢失。

12.［精解］本题考查习惯搭配。［A］项conjunction不与store搭配，它常指“（引起某种结果的事物等的）结合”，如The conjunction of low inflation and low employment came as a very pleasant surprise（低通货膨胀和低失业率的同时出现是一个大惊喜）。考生不要望文生义，“连锁店”是chain store。convenience store 指“便利店”，department store “百货店”，ornament store指“饰品店”，根据常识，车站里面比较普遍的是各式各样的便利店，所以［B］项符合文意。

13.［精解］本题考查形近词的辨析。本题表面上是填入合适的过去分词做定语，实际上是辨析四个核心动词的用法。［A］项delegate搭配事物时意为“授权，委任，委托”，如delegate a task /power（委托任务/授权），因此它不与spaces搭配。［B］项designated spaces意为“指定的场地”，但与上文的create搭配后语义重复。［C］项devoted“投入的，深爱的”，表感情色彩，显然不符文意。［D］项dedicated与spaces搭配表示“专用的空间/场地”。

14.［精解］本题考查形容词的辨析及固定用法。［B］项smart card 是固定搭配，意为：（内有集成电路可储存记忆的）智能卡。四个选项都可含有“聪明的”含义,但当修饰事物时，［A］项“机敏的，巧妙的”，强调“用智慧或小聪明达到目的”，如a clever reply（机敏的回答），play a clever trick（耍一个巧妙的花招）；［C］项指“（机器等）制作精巧的” 或“（方法等）巧妙的”，如an ingenious toy（制作精巧的玩具），an ingenious idea/lie（巧妙的主意/谎言）；［D］项Intelligent指“（计算机部件工作性能）智能的”，如an intelligent terminal （智能终端，即具有处理信息能力的终端）。

15.［精解］本题考查动词词义的辨析。题目要求填入一个动名词与information搭配，说明集成电路在IC 卡中的作用。IC卡，即智能卡，内部的集成电路是储存信息的，所以［C］项holding“容纳，储存，准备着”正确。check information“核对信息”，gather information“收集信息”，accommodat e information“整理信息”，都不符合文意。

16.［精解］本题考查介词的用法。解题难点在于理清空格所在句子的结构，该句子的主干为the company plans to introduce cards... __16__ train tickets and commuter passes，所填介词与introduce搭配，［A］项as表方式，符合文意，introduce sth as sth（引入……作为……），原文意为“引入智能卡作为车票和定期券”。for 表目的、用途,Introduce sth for sth意为“为……而引入、提出……”，如introduce a topic for discussion（提出议题供讨论）；with表伴随，introduce sth with sth意为“把……作为……的开头，用……引出……”，如introduce a talk with an anecdote（说一则轶闻作为讲话的引子），均不符合文意。of表所属，不直接跟introduce 搭配。

17.［精解］本题考查句内逻辑关系。空格处填入的介词短语连接smart cards as train tickets and commuter passes（作为车票和定期券的智能卡）和the magnetic ones used today（现在使用的磁卡）。由于两者是同一性质的物质，因此排除表假设逻辑关系的［A］项but for“要不是”。此外，根据下文可知用智能卡比现在使用的磁卡系统成本要低，因此引用智能卡的目的是使它取代磁卡作车票和定期券，因此［C］instead of项“代替，而不是……”正确。［B］as well as项“也，又，和”表并列，［D］more than项“比……多”表比较。

18.［精解］本题考查形容词的词义辨析。填入的形容词修饰pass。原文意为：把多种形式的票和券合为一张智能卡，［B］项“单一的，专一的”，有把不同的东西统一标准或合为一体的意思，如a single scale of wages（单一工资等级），是正确选项。［A］项“独一无二的，独特的”，强调独特性，意为being the only one of its kind，如the unique human ability（人类独有的能力）；［C］项“整体的，统一的，不可分的”，强调

完整性，指relating to or existing as a single unit，如a unitary policy of government（政府的统一政策）；［D］项“惟一的，单独的”，强调某种情况下的惟一性，指there is one person, thing, or group in a particular situation and no others，如I was the only one who disagreed(我是惟一一个持不同意见的人)。

19.［精解］本题考查名词词义的辨析。空格填入的名词与for IC cards 搭配，与magnetic systems（磁系统）作比较。首先排除［D］项examiners“主考者，检查人”，因为人和系统之间无法比较价格高低。［A］项“装置，设备”、［B］项“工具，手段”的用法为device/instrument for doing sth，如a device for opening bottles （一个打开瓶子的装置）；an instrument for writing（书写工具）。所以［C］项readers正确，意为：IC卡或智能卡的读卡机。

20.［精解］本题考查动词词义的辨析。填入的动词，表达Increased use of IC cards（对IC卡使用的增加）对the space needed for ticket vending (售票需要的空间)的影响。根据上文可知道，IC卡的使用替代了传统的车票和定期券，因此空格所在句子的含义是：IC卡使用的增加减少了售票所占的空间。关键看四个选项哪个与space搭配，符合文意。［A］项reduce“减少，缩小”，用法较为广泛，除表示数量、大小、价格等的减少外，还可以接表抽象含义的词，如reduce the risk of detection（减少被发现的危险），原文意为：对IC卡使用的增加将会减少售票占用的空间。［B］项narrow“使变狭窄，使缩小”与space搭配，指“使空间变得狭小”，有“拥挤”的含义；［C］项dwarf指“（通过与大的事物比较）使显得小”，而实际大小没有改变，如Most professional basketball players dwarf other men（大多数职业篮球运动员使别人显得矮小）；［D］项shrink意为“使事物本身缩小或萎缩”，如shrink the markets for the exports（使出口市场萎缩），均不符合文意。

通过国家铁路系统的私有化创建起来的六大公司之一的东日本铁路有限公司，正吸引着越来越多人的目光。在一个发展前景不振的行业，它创造性地利用车站内部及周围的房地产的计划正引起人们的关注。

东日本铁路在11月份公布的“车站复兴”计划中说：它将不仅把它的商业空地用于开商店和餐馆，而且还要把这些商业空地用于更加适应信息时代的功能上去。它打算把车站作为网上所购物品如书籍、花卉和日用百货等的收取地。该公司估算，在一个都市人严重依赖列车作为上下班交通工具的国度里，每天大约有1600万人因各种原因来到它的车站。因此，在车站收取物品使消费者节省了路途而且也不像往家里递送那样容易丢失。东日本铁路已经开始把车站的便利店用于这一目的，但它打算为网上货物的递送创立专门的空间。

该公司还打算引入智能卡（在日本称为IC卡，因为它们利用集成电路储存信息）取代目前使用的磁卡作为车票和定期券，把各种不同的票券合为一体。这将为公司节省资金，因为IC卡的读卡机比磁系统要便宜的多。IC卡使用的增加还将会减少售票所占用的空间。

“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.”That’s an

interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy later this year-or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.

总体分析

本文是一篇讨论克隆动物和克隆人实验的文章。

第一段：引用专家的话指出克隆人是愚蠢的尝试，接着提到正在进行的克隆动物的实验，指出狗的克隆最具有难度。

第二段：介绍动物克隆实验所反映出来的低效性使威斯苏森教授反对克隆人。

第三段：转折指出，但是克隆狗存在巨大的商机。

第四段：指出克隆动物还远没有成功，并再次引用专家的话否认目前克隆人的可行性。

试题精解

1.下面哪一个最能代表威斯苏森先生对克隆的态度？

［A］克隆动物是一种愚蠢的尝试。

［B］克隆人还没有接近成功。

［C］克隆的效率太低，应该被禁止。

［D］克隆动物可以，克隆人至少现在还不行。

［精解］本题考查考生文中人物观点。文中多次引用了威斯苏森先生有关克隆的话，从中我们可以判断出他的态度。［A］中a stupid attempt出现在文章开始部分，是他对于克隆人而非克隆动物的看法。［B］中not yet close to getting it worked out出现在文章末句，是他对待动物实验的看法，不包括克隆人。事实上，克隆人还没有开始，谈不上是否接近成功。第二段末句，威斯苏森先生提到克隆是极其低效的，但没有提出因此就应该被禁止。因此，［C］部分错误。第二段倒数第二句，威斯苏森先生提出，动物实验中对动物卵的浪费以及动物的自然性流产还可以接受，但研究人就不行。可见，他默许克隆动物，反对克隆人，因此［D］正确。

2. 克隆密斯项目似乎不是非常成功，原因可能是_____。

［A］没有足够的资金支持这项研究

［B］克隆狗比克隆猫或牛更复杂

［C］威斯苏森先生太忙于照料生意

［D］狗的主人要求和他的宠物一模一样的复制品

［精解］本题考查事实细节。第一段倒数第二句指出，克隆密斯可能成功也可能失败。该段最后一句解释其原因是：狗的生殖系统似乎是现代科学中一个神秘的领域。因此［B］为正确项。

第三段首句提到，克隆狗是一个商机，能带来丰厚的科研报酬。该段第三句又提到，对于像密斯的主人这样的消费者来说，高额的花销并不是什么障碍。由此可知，［A］不是项目不成功的原因。［C］属于无中生有项，第三段第二句只提到，多利羊克隆成功后，威斯苏森教授接到很多希望克隆狗的电话，这些电话都潜藏商机。但不能由此推知他忙于商业活动。第三段最后两句提到，密斯的主人知道，密斯的克隆体不一定能有与它一样的脾气秉性。在一份用途声明中，密斯的主人和农业机械大学的团队表示，他们“共同期待能研究密斯的克隆体与它本身的差异之处。”可见［D］也不是原因。

3. 当威斯苏森先生说“克隆是危险的”，他的意思是______。

［A］实验室的技术员可能会受到化学物质的感染

［B］实验室里的猫和狗可能死于疾病

［C］实验会浪费很多生命

［D］克隆的动物比一般的动物能活得更长

［精解］本题考查句意的理解。题干引用的话出现在第二段末。其上文即该段倒数第二句中，威斯苏森先生指出，在猫或牛的克隆试验中，对动物卵的浪费以及许多动物的自然性流产都可以接受，但是克隆人就不行。因此可知，［C］是“危险”的真正含义。其他项文中都未提及。

4. 从第三段我们可以推知______。

［A］富人对克隆人比对克隆动物更感兴趣

［B］克隆动物宠物正成为一个欣欣向荣的产业

［C］克隆狗和一般的狗之间没有什么区别

［D］密斯的主人出重金希望狗能复活

［精解］本题考查推理引申。第三段首句提到，克隆狗是能带来丰厚科研报酬的商机。下文无论是提到动医学院频繁接到的电话，还是举出一掷千金想克隆爱犬的富人的例子都是为了说明首句的观点。因此从第三段可推出的结论是［B］。

该段主要涉及的是克隆狗，因此无从推知［A］；从该段最后两句可知，［C］与事实相反；［D］错在revive，由该段第四句可知，密斯的主人只是想要一个密斯的孪生子在它死后继承其优良品质。

5. 从文章中我们可以得知________。

［A］除非技术效率提高否则克隆人类不会成功

［B］科学家们对克隆技术持乐观态度

［C］许多人反对克隆人的想法

［D］克隆的动物即使弱小也更受主人青睐

［精解］本题考查全局事实细节题。文章一开始就引用专家威斯苏森的话，指出克隆人是愚蠢的尝试。第二段最后两句提到，克隆实验的低效性和危险性在克隆人中不可接受。文章末尾再次引用该专家的话，指出现在动物的研究还没成功，没有必要想到克隆人。由此可见，技术是克隆实验存在的主要问题，也是阻碍克隆人实验的重要原因，因此可推知［A］正确。［B］明显错误，科学家并不乐观。全文只涉及专家和拥护克隆实验的人的观点，因此无从推知［C］。［D］在文中未提及。

核心词汇或超纲词汇

(1)cramped(a.) 狭窄的，狭小的，如working in ~ conditions（在拥挤的环境里工作）

(2)confines（n. pl.）范围，界限，边界，如the ~ of human knowledge（人类的知识范围），the ~ of family life（家庭生活的范围）

(3)vexed (a.) 焦急的，为难的，恼怒的

(4)Missyplicity（n.）这是个临时造的词，是三个部分的合成：Missy指文中提到的那条狗密斯，duplicate 意为“复制”，-ity为名词后缀。

(5)canine (a.) 犬的，犬科的

(6)surrogate mother代理母体

(7)aborted (a.) 流产的；出故障的

(8)fetus (n.) 胎，胎儿

(9)veterinary (a.)兽医的，~ medicine/science兽医学

(10)plop（v.）扑通一声把……放下，如Can you ~ some ice in my drink?（能在我的饮料中放点冰块吗？）（文中是比喻用法，指“投入资金”）

(11)viably (ad.) 可实施地，切实可行地；能独立生存地，能独立发展地

(12)abnormality (n.)变态，畸形，异常

全文翻译

“我还没有遇到一个值得被克隆的人,” 克隆专家马克·威斯苏森在德克萨斯州农业机械大学空间狭小的实验室里说，“那是一种愚蠢的尝试。”这种风趣的用来形容克隆人的言辞来自一位富人，他花费数百万美金试图克隆一只13岁的名叫密斯的狗。到目前为止，他和他的团队还没有获得成功，尽管他们已经克隆出了两只牛并且正计划在短期内克隆出一只猫。他们可能会在年底成功克隆出密斯，也可能再过五年都不会成功。人类最亲密的朋友--狗的生殖系统似乎是现代科学中一个神秘的领域。

威斯苏森克隆动物的经验使他对克隆人的种种说法十分恼火。在研究“克隆密斯项目”的三年时间里，农业机械大学的团队使用了成百上千只犬科动物的卵，却仅仅获得了一打左右的带有密斯DNA的胚胎，并且没有一个在被转移至克隆母体时存活下来。教授争辩道，在研究猫或牛的克隆试验中，对动物卵的浪费以及许多动物的自然性流产都是可以为人们所接受的，但是对于研究人来说就不行。他表示说，“克隆是十分低效的，而且也相当危险。”

尽管如此，克隆狗仍是一个商机，能带来丰厚的科研报酬。自从1997年多利羊克隆成功后，威斯苏森教授在农业机械大学动医学院的电话就频频响起。对于像密斯的神秘主人这样的消费者来说，高额的花销并不是什么难题，他只是希望匿名以保护自己的隐私。到目前为止，他已经投入了370万美金来资助这项研究，因为他想要一个密斯的孪生子在它死后继承其优良品质。但是这位主人知道，密斯的克隆体不一定能有与它一样的脾气秉性。在一份用途声明中，密斯的主人和农业机械大学的团队表示，他们“共同期待能研究密斯的克隆体与它本身的差异之处。”

用于实验的狗的命运将由威斯苏森教授的工作来决定。他知道即使有一只能成功怀孕的狗，它的后代，如果能幸存下来，一出生就要面对其他克隆动物所面临的问题：像肺部和心脏发育不全造成的畸形以及体重问题等等。威斯苏森教授质问道，“在我们克隆动物的研究还没有接近成功时，为什么还想到要克隆人呢？”
