六、Historically, humans get serious about avoiding disasters only after one has just struck them. __62__ that logic, 2006 should have been a breakthrough year for rational behavior. With the memory of 9/11 still __63__ in their minds, Americans watched hurricane Katrina, the most expensive disaster in U.S. history, on __64__ TV. Anyone who didn’t know it before should have learned that bad things can happen. And they are made __65__ worse by our willful blindness to risk as much as our __66__ to work together before everything goes to hell.
Granted, some amount of delusion(错觉)is probably part of the __67__ condition. In A.D. 63, Pompeii was seriously damaged by an earthquake, and the locals immediately w

ent to work __68__, in the same spot-until they were buried altogether by a volcano eruption 16 years later. But a __69__ of the past year in disaster history suggests that modern Americans are particularly bad at __70__ themselves from guaranteed threats. We know more than we __71__ did about the dangers we face. But it turns __72__ that in times of crisis, our greatest enemy is __73__ the storm, the quake or the __74__ itself. More often it is ourselves.
So what has happened in the year that __75__ the disaster on the Gulf Coast?In New Orleans,the Army Corps of Engineers has worked day and night to rebuild the flood walls.They have got the walls to __76__ they were before Katrina,more or less.That’s not __77__,we can now say with confidence.But it may be all __78__ can be expected from one year of hustle(忙碌).
Meanwhile,New Orleans offcials have crafted a plan to use buses and trains to __79__ the sick and the disabled.The city estimates that 15,000 people will need a __80__ out.However,state officials have not yet determined where these people will be taken.The __81__ with neighboring communities are on going and difficult.

答案：
B 62. A) To B) By C) On D) For
介词辨析。通过对前句的分析理解，知道人性的本质-只有在遭受了痛苦之后才会重视痛苦，于是后句紧跟的连词应该是表示解释说明，而to为至于，on为在...上面，for为因果连词，只有by可以表示通过。
A 63. A) fresh B) obvious C) apparent D) evident
词义辨析。考生初看本题以为考察的是obvious, apparent, evident的词义辨析，三个词都表示明显的意思，但是根据文章的意思，此处应该是表示记忆犹新的意思，因此只有一个fresh表示的是新鲜。
C 64. A) visual B) vivid C) live D) lively
词义辨析。本题

考察更多的是常识性的问题。Live这个单词除了有生活的意思之外，还有现场直播的意思。而剩余的混淆项完全是在误导学生，visual为视觉的，vivid为生动活泼的，lively为活泼的意思。
D 65. A) little B) less C) more D) much
词义辨析。在比较级前面添加副词，只能用副词原级，不能再用比较级。B和C显然错误。根据文章的感情色彩，文章表示的是贬义，在嘲笑人们喜欢做马后炮的事情，因此用much不用little.
A 66. A) reluctance B) rejection C) denial D) decline
词义辨析。Reluctance不情愿，rejection拒绝 denial否定 decline 拒绝。本题一看也仿佛是辨析BCD三个表示否定的词义。但是通过分析这个复杂句我们看到了前面的一个关键词willful blindness. 这个词组近年来在欧美属于流行词汇，频繁的出现在各大媒体中。他的英文解释是Willful blindness is a term used in law to describe a situation in which an individual seeks to avoid civil or criminal liability for a wrongful act by intentionally putting himself in a position where he will be unaware of facts.中文解释简单来说就是"装傻"。而复杂句可以翻译成，因为人们都在装傻事情变得更糟糕，除非真的死到临头了，否则人们都会尽最大可能不合作。而这里用reluctance，正好和前面的willful成反义词对应。
D 67. A) natural B) social C) world D) human 词义辨析。与其说这个是考察词义辨析，不如说是在超越大学生的理解能力考察一个固定搭配human condition.看到这个搭配，学生的瞬间逻辑推理是人为因素，但是实际该词组表示人的生存条件的意思。
C 68. A) revising B) refining C) rebuilding D) retrieving
词义辨析。Revising修订，refining提炼，rebuilding重建，retrieving重新得到。地震之后要干什么呢？当然就是重建了。因此这种题目关键是看句子前面的连词and.
A 69. A) review B) reminder C) concept D) prospect
词义辨析。Review回顾，reminder提醒，暗示，concept概念，prospect希望。句子开头一个强转折BUT，表示后面要说的和前面的内容是相反的意思。同时，后面有一个history，通过这个单词就知道前面用review。
C 70. A) preparing B) protesting C) protecting D) prevailing
固定搭配。 protect sb. from sth 保护某人免受某事。Prepare准备，protest抗议，prevail流行，成功。
B 71. A) never B) ever C) then D) before
词义辨析。对于我们所面临的灾难，我们比以前知道的更多。本句中did是用助动词取代实意动词know。因此这里的连词只能用ever表示以前，而before做副词时一定放在句末或后跟名词。
D 72. A) up B) down C) over D) out
固定搭配。Turn out that/ turn out to be sth 证明。Turn up出现，turn down拒绝，tur

n over营业额/反复考虑
B 73. A) merely B) rarely C) incidentally D) accidentally
词义辨析。本题涉及两组词，一个是merely和rarely，merely表示仅仅，只不过的意思，rarely表示极少，罕有的意思。而incidentally和accidentally均表示巧合。关键在于区分merely和rarely就可以得出答案。
A 74. A) surge B) spur C) surf D) splash
词义辨析。本题实际考察的单词是形近且意思相差很远的一些单词。Surge表示汹涌澎湃，做动词有急速上升的意思spur刺激，穿刺 surf海浪，做动词有冲浪的意思 splash溅。这种考察方法很常见但是对同学做题来说很容易。
C 75.A) ensued B) traced C) followed D) occurred
B 76.A) which B) where C) what D) when
where引导的从句作介词to的宾语
A 77.A) enough B) certain C) conclusive D) final
C 78.A) but B) as C) that D) those
B 79. A) exile B) evacuate C) dismiss D) displace
A 80.A) ride B) trail C) path D) track ride out "安全过渡"，track out "追踪"
D 81.A) conventions B) notifications C) communications D) negotiations
七、Have you ever wondered what our future is like?Practically all people _1_ a desire to predict their future _2_.Most people seem inclined to _3_ this task using causal reasoning.First we _4_ recognize that future circumstances are _5_ caused or conditioned by present ones.We learn that getting an education will _6_ how much money we earn later and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy _7_ with a shark.
Second,people also learn that such _8_ of cause and effect are probabilistic(可能的) in nature.That is,the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are _9_, but not always.Thus,students learn that studying hard _10_ good grades in most instances,but not every time.Science makes these concepts of causality and probability more _11_ and provides techniques for dealing _12_ then more accurately than does causal human inquiry.In looking at ordinary human inquiry,we need to _13_ between prediction and understanding.Often,even if we don't understand why,we are willing to act _14_ the basis of a demonstrated predictive ability.
Whatever the primitive drives _15_ motivate human beings,satisfying them depends heavily on the ability to _16_ future circumstances.The attempt to predict is often played in a _17_ of knowledge and understanding.If you can understand why certain regular patterns _18_,you can predict better than if you simply observe those patterns.Thus,human inquiry aims _19_ answering both "what" and "why" question,and we pursue these _20_ by observing and figuring out.

九、　A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide--the division of the world into the info(information) rich and the info poor. And that __1__ does exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less __2__ then, however, were the new, positive __3__ that work against the digital divide. __4__,there are reasons to be __5__.
There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the Internet becomes more and more __6__, it is in the interest of business to universalize access-after all, the more people online, the more potential __7__ there are. More and more __8__, afraid their countries will be left __9__, want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be __10__ together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will __11__ rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for __12__ world poverty that we’ve ever had.
Of course, the use of the Internet isn’t the only way to __13__ poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has __14__ potential.
To __15__ advantage of this tool, some poor countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices __16__ respect to foreign investment. Countries that still think foreign investment is a/an __17__ of their sovereignty might well study the history of __18__ (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States.

A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will, for example, __18__ problems in 2010, while the arrival of synthetic __19__ robots will mean people may not be able to __20__ between their human friends and the droids. And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder-kitchen rage.

十一、　An invisible border divides those arguing for computers in the classroom on the behalf of students’ career prospects and those arguing for computers in the classroom for broader reasons of radical educational reform. Very few writers on the subject have explored this __1__—indeed, contradiction—which goes to the heart of what is wrong with the __2__ to put computers in the classroom.
An education that aims at getting a student a certain kind of job is a/an __3__ education, justified for reasons radically different from w

It is not simply to __5__ everyone’s job prospects that all children are legally __6__ to attend school into their teens.Rather, we have a certain __7__ of the American citizen,a character who is __8__ if he cannot competently assess __9__ his livelihood and happiness are affected by things __10__ of himself.
But this was not always the case; before it was legally required for all children to attend school until a certain __11__, it was widely accepted that some were just not equipped __12__ nature to pursue this kind of education.With optimism characteristic of all industrialized countries, we came to accept that everyone is __13__ to be educated. Computer-education advocates __14__ this optimistic notion for a pessimism that __15__ their otherwise cheery outlook. __16__ on the confusion between educational and vocational reasons for bringing computers into schools, computer-education advocates often __17__ the job prospects of graduates over their educational __18__.
There are some good arguments for a technical education given the right kind of student. Many European schools __19__ the concept of professional training early on in order to make sure children are __20__ equipped for the professions they want to join.

十二、A translator must have an excellent, up-to-date knowledge of his source languages.He must fill facility in the handling of his target language, which will be his mother tongue or language of habitual __1__, and a knowledge and understanding of the latest subject-matter in his field of specialization. This is, as it were, his professional __2__. In addition to this, it is __3__ that he should have an enquiring mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to __4__ quickly the basic princ

iples of new developments.
He should be willing to work __5__ his own, often at high speeds, but should be humble enough to __6__ other people because his own __7__ does not always prove adequate to the task in hand. He should be able to type fairly quickly and __8__ and, if he is working mainly for publication, should have more than a nodding __9__ with printing techniques and proof-reading.
If he is working basically as an information translator, let us say, for an industrial firms, he should have the flexibility of mind to enable him to __10__ rapidly from one source language to __11__, as well as from one subject-matter to another, since this ability is frequently __12__ of him in such work. Bearing in __13__ the nature of the translator’s work, i.e. the processing of the written word, it is, strictly speaking, __14__ that he should be able to speak the languages he is __15__ with.
If he does speak them, it is an __16__ rather than a hindrance(障碍), but this skill is in many ways a luxury that he can do away with. It is, __17__, desirable that he should have an __18__ idea about the pronunciation of his source languages, even if this is restricted to knowing how proper names and place names are pronounced. The same __19__ to an ability to write his source languages. If he can, well and good; if he cannot, it does not __20__.
