Awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1918, German physicist Max Planck is best remembered as the originator of the quantum theory. His work helped usher in a new era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific community's understanding of atomic and subatomic processes.

Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Planck worked out an equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to high frequencies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later called quantums. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E, equals by. The constant, h, is known as Planck's constant. It is now recognized as one of the fundamental constants of the world.

Planck announced his findings in 1900, but it was years before the full consequences of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck made significant contributions to optics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, physical chemistry, among other fields.

51. In which of the following fields did Max Planck NOT make a significant contribution?

A. Optics.

B. Thermodynamics.

C. Statistical mechanics.

D. Biology.

52. The word "revolutionary" as used in Line 16 means ______.

55. The implication in this passage is that ______

A. only a German physicist could discover such a theory

B. quantum theory, which led to the development of twentieth century physics, is basically a mathematical formula

C. Planck's constant was not discernible before 1900

D. radiation was hard to study

There has been much speculation about the origin of baseball. In 1907 a special commission decided that the modem game was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter of record that in the 1700s English boys played a game they called "baseball". Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first the American game had different rules and different names in various parts of the country -- "town ball", "rounders", or "one old cat". Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of the game.

Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York City. The rules Cartwright set up for his nine-player team were widely adopted by other clubs and formed the basis of modem baseball. The game was played on a "diamond" infield with the bases 90 feet apart. The first team to score 21 runs was declared the winner. By 1858 the National Association of Baseball Players was formed with 25 amateur teams. The Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay players in 1869.

57. Which of the following is true about the origins of baseball?

A. Historians agree that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.

B. Baseball, as played in the early 19th century, differed very little from today's game.

C. As early as the 1700s, English boys played a game called "baseball".

D. The first standard set of baseball rules was established at the turn of the century.

58. What was the first professional baseball team called?

A. New York Knickerbockers.

B. Milwaukee Braves.

C. Cincinnati Red Stockings.

D. Brooklyn Dodgers.

59. Who first gave baseball a standard set of rules?

A. Abner Doubleday.

B. Alexander Cartwright.

C. Albert Spalding.

D. Babe Ruth.

60. Which of the following was NOT a predecessor of baseball?

The blue of the sea is caused by the scattering of sunlight by tiny particles suspended in the water. Blue light, being of short wavelength, is scattered more efficiently than light of longer wavelengths. Although waters of the open ocean are commonly some shade of blue, green water is commonly seen near coasts, especially in tropical or subtropical regions. This is caused by yellow pigments being mixed with blue water. Phytoplankton are one source of the yellow pigment. Other microscopic plants may color the water brown or brownish-red. Near the shore, silt or sediment in suspension can give water a brownish hue. Outflow of large rivers can often be observed

many miles offshore by the coloration of suspended soil particles.

Marine phytoplankton (Greek for "plant wanderers") are microscopic single-celled plants that include diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids, green algae, and blue-green algae, among others. The growth of these organisms, which photosynthesize light, depends on a delicate balance of nutrient enrichment via vertical mixing, which is often limited by the availability of nitrogen and light. Diatoms are one-celled plants with patterned glass coverings. Each glass, or silicon dioxide box, is ornamented with species-specific designs, pits, and perforations making them popular with microscopists and, more recently, electron scanning microscopists.

63. Green water near coastlines is almost always caused by ______.

A. sand color

B. red pigments in coastal waters

C. blue pigment

D. reflected light and yellow pigment from plant life

64. Phytoplankton are the source of which color pigment?

A. Red.

B. Green.

C. Yellow.

D. Blue.

65. What can give waters a brownish hue near the shore?

A. Sediment.

B. Phytoplankton.

C. Blue pigment.

D. Diatoms.

66. Which of the following is NOT a type of phytoplankton?

A. Green algae.

B. Diatoms.

C. Blue-green algae.

D. Amoeba.

67. The growth of phytoplankton is often limited by the availability of ______.

A. oxygen

B. hydrogen

C. nitrogen

D. carbon dioxide

68. The main idea of this passage is that ______.

A. light causes sea color

B. sea coloration is varied because of a combination of length of light waves and micro- scopic plant life and silt

C. microscopic plant life causes sea color

D. water composition causes sea color

The United States government publishes guidelines for appropriate nutrient intakes. These are known as the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and are updated regularly based on new research in nutrition. RDAs are suggested amounts of calories, protein, and some minerals and vitamins for an adequate diet. For other dietary substances, specific goals must await further research. However, for the U.S. population as a whole, increasing starch and fiber in one's diet and reducing calories (primarily from fats, sugar, and alcohol) is sensible. These suggestions are especially appropriate for people who have other factors-for chronic diseases due to family history of obesity, premature heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol, or for those who use tobacco.

Snacks can furnish about one-fourth of the calorie requirements among teenagers. Those snacks should also provide much of the day's allowances for protein, minerals, and vitamins. Sandwiches, fruit, and milk make good snacks for active teenagers. Food from the food pyramid may be part of any meal. A grilled cheese sandwich or a bowl of whole-grain cereal is just as nutritious in the morning as it is at noon. In addition, a good breakfast consists of any foods that supply about one-fourth of the necessary nutrients for the day.

69. The passage directly states that most of the U.S. population should increase their intake of ______.

A. protein

B. fats

C. starch and fiber

D. sandwiches

70. A good breakfast should supply about what percentage of the necessary nutrients for the day?

A. One-half.

B. One-third.

C. One-fourth.

D. Less than one-fourth.

71. The passage implies which of the following?

A. The time of day when food is consumed affects its nutritive value.

B. Different foods can be combined to increase total nutrition value.

C. It can be detrimental to your health to eat breakfast foods later in the day.

D. When food is eaten has no bearing on its nutritive effects.

72. Why are RDAs regularly updated?

A. New discoveries in the science of nutrition are constantly being made.

B. Americans' diets are constantly changing.

C. As people age, their nutritional needs change.

D. Very little is currently known about nutrition.

73. In this passage RDAs refers to ______.

A. types of vitamins

B. types of protein

C. types of minerals

D. amounts of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals

74. One implication in this passage is that ______.

A. obesity

B. premature heart disease and diabetes

C. high blood pressure and cholesterol levels

D. all of the above

The most popular organic gem is the pearl. A pearl is the response of a marine mollusk to the presence of an irritating impurity accidentally introduced into its body; a cultured pearl is the result of the intentional insertion of a mother-of-pearl bead into a live mollusk. Whether introduced accidentally or intentionally, the pearl-making process is the same: the mollusk coats the irritant with a substance called nacre. Nacre is composed chiefly of calcium carbonate. Because very few natural pearls are now on the market, most pearls used in fine jewelry are cultured. These include "Biwa" pearls and most other freshwater pearls. Cultured pearls are not easily distinguished from natural pearls except by an expert.

76. Which of the following people could tell the difference between a cultured pearl and an organic pearl?

A. Scuba diver.

B. Fisherman.

C. Jeweler.

D. Clerk.

79. Nacre is a substance that is ______

A. mechanically manufactured

B. the result of laboratory testing

C. organically secreted by the mollusk

D. present in the chemical composition of freshwater pounds

80. The main idea in this passage is that ______

A. most marketable pearls are cultured because nature does not produce enough of its own to satisfy the market

B. cultured pearls are of a higher quality than natural pearls

C. there are two major methods of pearl-making

D. a natural "drought" of pearl production is taking place

81. Cultured pearl is formed by ______.

Stress is with us all the time. It comes from mental or emotional activity as well as physical activity. It is unique and personal to each of us. So personal, in fact, that what may be relaxing to one person may be stressful to another. For example, if you're a busy executive who likes to keep occupied all of the time, "taking it easy" at the beach on a beautiful day may be extremely frustrating, nonproductive, and upsetting. You may be emotionally distressed from "doing nothing." Too much emotional stress can cause physical illnesses such as high blood pressure, ulcers, or even heart disease. Physical stress from work or exercise is not likely to cause such ailments. The truth is that physical exercise can help you to relax and to better handle your mental or emotional stress.

82. Which of the following people would find "taking it easy" stressful?

A. Construction workers.

B. Business executives.

C. Farm workers.

D. Truck drivers.

83. Which of the following would be a determinant as to what people find stressful?

D. taking it easy

With the sudden onset of severe psychotic symptoms, the individual is said to be experiencing acute schizophrenia (精神分裂症). "Psychotic" means out of touch with reality, or unable to separate real from unreal experiences. Some people have only one such psychotic episode. Others have many episodes during a lifetime but

lead relatively normal lives during interim periods. The individual with chronic (continuous or recurring) schizophrenia often does not fully recover normal functioning and typically requires long-term treatment, generally including medication, to control the symptoms. These symptoms may include hallucinations (幻觉), incoherence, delusions, lack of judgment, deterioration of the abilities to reason and feel emotion, and a lack of interaction between the patient and his environment. The hallucinations may be a visual, auditory, or tactile. Some chronic schizophrenic patients may never be able to function without assistance of one sort or another.

Aspirin is one of the safest and most effective drags invented by man. The most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild. It is also cheap.

For millions of people suffering from arthritis, it is the only thing that works. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.

Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of tree barks and leaves which today are known to contain a chemical found in aspirin. During the-19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States.

A small quantity of aspirin relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by affecting some of the body's reactions. Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice.

93. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Aspirin is good to arthritis sufferers.

B. Aspirin may be used as suicide drug.

C. Aspirin is dangerous to small children.

D. Aspirin has unrecognizable side effects.

D. history

97. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Aspirin can relieve pain.

B. Aspirin can reduce fever.

C. Aspirin can relieve inflammation.

D. Aspirin can reduce stomach lining.

98. According to this passage, ______ may NOT be the right way to take aspirin.

A. chewing the tablets

B. swallowing the tablets

C. crushing them in milk

D. putting them in dishes

99. The author of this passage seems to be ______.

A. against aspirin

B. in favor of aspirin

C. ignorant of aspirin

D. disinterested in aspirin

100. A good title for this passage would be:

A. Why Do We Take Aspirin?

B. How Do We Take Aspirin?

Section 3: Cloze Test (20 points)

In the following passage, there are 20 blanks representing words that are missing from the context. You are to put back in each of the blanks the missing word. Write your answers' on the ANSWER SHEET. The time for this section is 20 minutes.

A good translator is by definition bilingual. The opposite is not (1) tree, however. A born and bred bilingual will still need two (2) to become a translator: first, the skills and experience necessary for (3) ; second, knowledge of the field in which he or she will (4) . The skills and experience for translation include the ability to write (5) in the target language, the ability to read and understand the (6) language material thoroughly, and the ability to work with the latest (7) and communication hardware and software.

Does a born and bred bilingual (8) a better translator than someone who learned language B later in (9) ? There is no definite answer, but the following issues are important. (10) , a born and bred bilingual often suffers from not truly knowing (11) language well enough to translate, with some even suffering from what (12) known as a lingualism, a state in which a person lacks (13) full, fluent command of any language. Second, born and bred bilinguals (14) don't know the culture of the target language well enough to (15) top-quality translations, or cannot recognize what aspects of the source language (16) its culture need to be treated with particular care, as they (17) in a sense too close to the language. And last, they often (18) the analytical linguistic skills to work through a sticky text.

On (19) other hand, the acquired bilingual may not have the same in-depth (20) of colloquialisms,

slang, and dialect that the born bilingual has. Also, the acquired bilingual will not be able to translate as readily in both directions (from B to language A and A to language B). Finally, born bilinguals often have a greater appreciation of the subtleties and nuances of both their languages than someone who learns their B language later in life can ever hope to have.

综合解析

Section 1

Part 1

1.B [分析] 非谓语动词用法。

此处所填内容应是修饰表语the first president的后置定语,且此句已有系动词was,而选项A、C、D 均为完整的谓语动词,所以为避免谓语动词罗列,只能选择选项B.to get married这一动词不定式(非谓语动词)来作定语。

2.A [分析] 固定搭配。

此处注意不同的动词词组含义不同:protect sb./sth.保护,防卫,如:protect a person from harm保护某人免受伤害;shelter from躲避,避难,如:shelter from trouble避开麻烦;shade from为……遮光,遮蔽,如:She shaded her eyes from the sun with her hands.她用手遮在眼睛上方挡住阳光。save from救助,拯救,保全(以免损失、伤害),如:save sb.from drowning拯救某人免于溺毙,其中protect既指防御现实的危险、危害,又指防御将来的或可能的危险、危害;既可用于自然现象,又可用于社会现象。此处用来表示保护花椰菜免受极端气温的侵害,防止菜花脱色。

3.A [分析] 习语辨析;

A.given off发出(蒸汽、光等),长出(枝、杈等),B.giving out分发,发出(气味、热等),精疲力竭;C.giving away赠送,泄漏,告发;D.given up停止,放弃。此处应填过去分词短语(因表被动),所以选项B、C不对:而选项A、D中只有A符合题意。

4.C [分析] 习语辨析。

此句意为“天开始下雪,我们转身……旅馆”;get by通过,过得去,(勉强)过活,search for搜寻,探

求:make for(匆匆)走向,有助于,clear up清理,收拾,消除,(天气)放晴,因此应选C.转身向旅馆走去。

5. A [分析] 固定搭配。

A.period时代(可指历史上任何一段时间,这段时间可长可短),期间(适用于任何目的或任何长短的时间范围);B.time时间,时机,时期,期限;C.times时期(历史上的时代或时期);D.period周期;因此C是答案。

8.C [分析] 介词辨析。

10.A [分析] 近义辨析。

A.planet行星(尤指太阳系);B.constellation恒星群,星座;C.stardom明星的身份,演员们;D.satellite 人造卫星,又知Pluto是冥王星;答案应为A。

用pour表“倒掉”之意时,应用pour away;empty litter倒空垃圾;throw garbage扔垃圾;dump sewage 倾倒污水,排污;这里指“排污到江河海洋中”,因此D为答案。

13.B [分析] 近义辨析。

此题需辨清词性,本题空白处应填形容词。A.well好,有利地(adv.),健康的,可取的,令人满意的(adj.),B.better较好的(adj.),但应用在上下文有比较之时,C.good优良的,好的(adj.);D.very 很,非常(adv.),因此C为答案。

16.B [分析] 近义辨析。

A. rising是不及物动词,不能带宾语;B.raising抚养,饲养:C. caring关心;D.taking care照料,照顾,但后面要用of,因此B为答案。

A. economic crop不这样用,“经济作物”应为cash crop;C.money crop不符合英语习惯,D.staple 主要产品(或商品),原材料。另:a food crop粮食作物,an oil-bearing crop油料作物。

18.A [分析] 近义辨析。

stone是最常用词,可指任何石头,rock指岩石,具有可研究价值,可作可数名词,也可作不可数名词,在此应用可数名词的复数。

19.D [分析] 习语辨析。

despite(后面不加of)与in spite of (后面不能省of)同义,常可换用。在此只有选项D正确。

20.C [分析] 近义辨析。

此处需注意情态动词的用法;ought(not)/to与should(not)后接完成时态意思相同,表示为本应做某事儿而未做(或本不应做而做了)感到遗憾,因此应选C。

Part 2

21.C [分析] 名词辨析。

A. office办公室:(英)政府机关,部;B.adobe指砖坯砌成的房子,C.assembly集合,集会;a legislative assembly指立法机关:D.building建筑物;因此C为答案。

23.B [分析] 动词辨析。

A. catch up with赶上(尤指原本落后,努力追上);B.catch捕获,赶上(车船等),感染(疾病);C. run up to跑到,达到,积累到;因此答案为B。

24.A [分析] 动词辨析。

A. take表示将人或物从说话人所在的位置“拿开,带离”;强调由近而远;B.bring表示将人或物从别处“带到”说话人所在的或将在的位置,强调由远而近,与take相反;C.dispatch分派,派遣:D.deliver 递送,交付,所以答案为A。

25.C [分析] 形容词辨析。

legendary传说中的,而A. imaginary假想的,想象的,虚构的,B.imagery肖像,比喻,C.fabled 寓言中的,虚构的(指有寓意的故事,在一个寓言里,动物能像人一样说话和行动);D.legend传说(是名词,一般指基于真实事情的故事,但是夸张且不可能得到证实的),因此答案为C。

26.D [分析] 形容词辨析。

A.apart-time部分时间的,非全日的,兼职、兼任的;B.a spare-time;C.an untrained未经训练的;D.an amateur业余爱好者;而non-professional非专业的,非职业的,因此D是答案。

27.A [分析] 近义词辨析。

这几个词均有“因为”之意,但短语owing to和due to,because of常用来引出简短的原因:而because 常用来引导原因状语从句:as和for做连词时,常用作书面语,起解释主句的作用,如:As this problem is of great interest,we will discuss it once again.因为这个问题很有意义,所以我们决定再讨论一次。He was rewarded for his bravery.他由于勇敢而受到嘉奖。所以答案为A。

28.A [分析] 形容词辨析。

A.eager热心于,渴望着;B.surging急剧上升,冲击,波动;C.appreciative欣赏的,有欣赏力的,表示感激的:D.vigorous精力旺盛的,健壮的;而avid表示“渴望的”,因此A是答案。

29.A [分析] 名词辨析。

ailment疾病(尤指微恙),不宁,不安(常指慢性的恼人病痛);A. disease疾病,弊病(指各种具体的疾病;也指严重的、病期较长的、足能使人体发生变化的疾病);B.sick有病的,恶心的,C.ill有病的,生病D.ill- ness疾病,生病(表抽象的疾病或生病状态,主要强调身体或精神上不健康的状态和时期),因此A为答案。

此句中的year意为“年”,而久anniversary周年纪念(前面需用序数词);B.years old岁(指年龄);C.age 年龄,使用年限,时代;D.wedding婚礼,婚宴;因此A为答案。

31.C [分析] 名词辨析。

customer,patron,client均指客户,顾客,但customer常指购买有形的商品,即指付钱后得到货物的顾客;client指长期客户,购买的是无形的服务(如付钱后让人为自己服务的客户),patron指老顾客,老主顾;如:a special offer for our regular patrons为老主顾而定的特别价;所以答案为C。而borrower借用人,剽窃者;lender出借人,贷方。

32.A [分析] 近义词辨析。

story故事,小说,传说:fiction小说(更指文学性小说),虚构;science科学,自然科学,imaginary 假想的,虚构的,literary文学的,因而A是答案。

33.B [分析] 近义词辨析。

help和assist都有“帮助”之义,但assist强调起协助、辅助性的作用;而本句话中的helper并不仅仅指普通的帮手,而是帮助人们掌握阅读能力的志愿者,因此选项B.volunteers志愿者更符合题意。注意此类题型不要只看表面意思,要理解其语篇含义。

34.D [分析] 近义词辨析。

because因为(引导原因状语从句);for reason应为for the reason that;be- cause of和due to后应接名词性短语:on the grounds根据,以……为理由;(如后跟短语,用on the grounds of;如跟从句,用on the grounds that):因此D为答案。

35.B [分析] 动词辨析。

Part 3

36.A [分析] 代词应用。

此句考查的是带有定语从句的代词作主语,要表达的是:所有没有免票的人都要付入会费。选项B是双重否定,与要表达的意思相反;选项C的定语从句中的ticket不应用复数;选项D也与要表达的意思相反,而选项A意为“任何一个没有免票的人都要付入会费”。因此A为答案。

37.A [分析] 时态应用。

在由when引导的时间状语从句的句子中,主句和从句的谓语动词的动作是有先后次序的:如状语从句的时态是一般过去时,主句应用过去时,本句表示过去正在做的动作所以应用过去进行时,又因主语the police即状语中的them,所以谓语为复数,答案应为A。

38.D [分析] 结构应用。

本句是由but连接的并列结构,前后均应有完整的主谓结构,划线部分中的that使前句成为一个从句,去掉它则句子成立,因此D为答案。

39.A [分析] 副词应用。

Therefore和thereby均为副词,表“因此”,但therefore后通常跟一个句子:而thereby后常接现在分词作状语。as a result of由于(as a result才表“因此”),因此A为答案。

40.B [分析] 副词应用。

Suppose和presume均表“假定,认为”,但presume更侧重“猜想”;presuming作形容词时,与presumptuous 是同义词,表“专横的”,但在本句中presuming不是形容词,而是分词,修饰形容词extinct,表“假定的”,故选项B.presumably“大概”是答案。

41.B [分析] 结构应用。

英语的定语从句(不论是限定性或非限定性)中,当关系代词作介词宾语时,介词前置,其中whom指人,which指物;而介词of表示整体中的一部分,比用in准确,所以B为答案。

42.C [分析] 习惯搭配。

I think so.是固定搭配。Think后面可以用so来避免重复已经表达过的想法。所以答案是C。与此用

法相同的动词还有:hope,believe,suppose,imagine。

43.A [分析] 结构应用。

此句是用动词不定式作主语:To please the professor is difficult.此句常写作:It is difficult to please the professor.因此答案为A。

44.D [分析] 连词应用。

根据句意,从句不应是原因状语从句,而是方式状语从句;而as在此作连词,引出方式状语从句,表示“正如,按照……方式”,所以D是答案。

45.C [分析] 动词搭配。

break up打碎,终止,驱散;break away突然离开,放弃(习惯等);break down毁掉,制服,中止:而本句要表达的意思是:……令训狮员非常伤心;所以应用break one's heart,选项C正确。

46.D [分析] 结构应用。

本句考查的是平行结构的用法。(并列连词and,but,as well as,or等连接的应是两个或几个同类的结构,语法上称为平行结构)本句中and连接的是两个动名词,所以选项D是答案。

47.A [分析] 结构应用。

本句是个复合句:Depression是主语,后面是that引导的定语从句that inflicts people who believe their lives lack content when the rush of the busy week stops,而其中斜体部分又是一个修饰people的定语从句,之后还有一个由when引导的时间状语从句;因此划线部分应是谓语动词,因此选项A正确。

48.B [分析] 习惯搭配。

此句意为:正如有些职业需要大学学历一样,有些职业也需要专门的技术训练。just as…,so表示“正像……一样,也”,so在此作also解,应放在句首,后面的句子不倒装,too在此表强调。所以B是答案。49.C [分析] 结构应用。

本句是个复合句:Most of the older civilizations是主语,后面是which引导的定语从句which flourished during the fifth century B.C.因此划线部分应是谓语动词;根据主语,谓语应用复数形式;因此选项C正确。

50.D [分析] 虚拟语气。

本句是对过去事实的假设,条件从句的谓语应用过去完成时(had known),而if条件句中如有were,should,had,可将if省去,而把were,should,had放在句首。因此选项D是答案。

Section 2

51.D [分析] 是非题型。

文中最后一句(Throughout his life,Planck made significant contributions to optics,thermodynamics and statistical mechanics,physical chemistry, among other fields.)提到马克斯·普朗克在光学、热力学、统计力学、物理化学等领域作出了巨大贡献。其中提到A、B、C三个选项,只有D没有提及,故选项D正确。52.C [分析] 词义题型。

Planck announced his findings in 1900,but is was years before the full consequences of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized,此句意为:普朗克在1900年公布了量子理论,但直到多年后他的划时代(革命性)的量子理论才整体得到承认。A.radical根本的,激进的;B.extremist极端主义(者);C.momentous重大的,重要的;D.militaristic军国主义的,尚武的,因此C为正确选项。

53.B [分析] 推断题型。

见第一段:His work helped usher in a new era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific community's understanding of atomic and subatomic processes.他的工作引导理论物理进入了一个新的时代并使科学界对原子、亚原子的理解有了彻底改变。由此可推断他的工作推动了B.The atomic bomb原子弹的发展。

54.A [分析] 细节题型。

见文章第二段第四、五句:The model required the emission of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles.These particles were later called quantums.由此可看出发出电磁辐射的微粒应为quantums(量子),选项A正确。

55.B [分析] 推断题型。

见文章第二段的第一和第二句:Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory,which became the foundation of twentieth century physics,In December 1900,Planck worked out an equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to high frequencies.可推出:导致20世纪物理学发展的量子论基本上是一个数学公式,所以选项B正确。

56.D [分析] 细节题型。

从文章第二段的第一和第二句(见上题)中可看出an idea指的即是“描述辐射从低频到高频精确分布的一个方程式”,所以选项D正确。

57.C [分析] 是非题型。

见文章第一段:尽管在1907年,一个特别委员会认定棒球是Abner Doubleday在1839年发明的,但历史学家们却对此持有不同看法。有案可查的是在17世纪英国孩子打一种他们称之为“棒球”的游戏。美国人从大约1800年起玩一种棒球,而这种棒球有着不同的规则和名字,文章第二段第一句指出棒球第一套规则的出台是在1845年;因此选项A、B、D均不对,选项C正确。

58.A [分析] 细节题型。

见文章第二段:Alexander Cartwright在1845年成立了纽约市Knickerbocker棒球俱乐部,出台了标准的比赛规则,所以选项A正确。

61.B [分析] 态度题型。

阅读全文发现,本文既没有就某一观点展开劝说或论证,也没有发表带有个人偏见的主观看法;只是客观地讲述了棒球运动的起源及发展。因此选项A、C、D均不对,选项B正确。

62.C [分析] 推断题型。

见文章最后一句The Cincinnati Red Stockings在1869年开始付球员工资,因此棒球运动自此除了能起到锻炼、休闲和社交作用外还有收益。所以在1869年前棒球运动只起到锻炼、休闲和社交作用,选项C 正确。

63.D [分析] 细节题型。

见文章第一句:The blue of the sea is caused by the scattering of sunlight by tiny particles suspended in the water.蓝色的海水是由于阳光对悬浮于水中的微粒造成散射形成的。第四、五句:This is caused by yellow pigments being mixed with blue water.Phytoplankton are one source of the yellow pigment.海水呈绿色是由于蓝色的海水和呈现黄色的浮游生物混合形成的。所以选项D正确。

64.C [分析] 细节题型。

见文章第一段第五句,选项C正确。

65.A [分析] 细节题型。

见文章第一段倒数第二句:Near the shore,silt or sediment in suspension can give water a brownish hue.靠近岸边的地方,水中悬浮的淤泥和沉淀物使得海水呈褐色。选项A正确。

66.D [分析] 是非题型。

见文章第二段第一句:Marine phytoplankton(Greek for“plant wanderers”)are microscopic single-celled plants that include diatoms, dinoflagellates,coccolithophorids,green algae,and blue-green algae,among others.说明海洋浮游生物包括:A. Green algae绿藻:B.Diatoms硅藻属;C.Blue-green algae蓝绿藻;等等。选项D.“Amoeba阿米巴虫”不包括在内,所以是答案。

67.C [分析] 细节题型。

见文章第二段第二句:The growth of these organisms,which photosynthesize light,depends on a delicate balance of nutrient enrichment via vertical mixing,which is often limited by the availability of nitrogen and

light.所以选项C正确。

68.B [分析] 主旨题型。

阅读全文得知,海水颜色的变化是由许多因素决定的;包括选项A、C、D,而选项B是它们的综合,所以是答案。

69.C [分析] 细节题型。

70.C [分析] 细节题型。

见文章最后一句:…good breakfast consists of any foods that supply about one- fourth of the necessary nutrients for the day.选项C正确。

71.B [分析] 推断题型。

本文第一段第一和第三句介绍:美国政府公布了饮食中合理摄入营养的指导,且建议要有合理的热量、蛋白质、矿物质和维生素的摄入量;文章第二段第四句Food from the food pyramid may be part of any meal.说明每顿饭都是由食物金字塔里的食物构成的。由此推出摄取不同的食物可增加营养价值,选项B 正确。

72.A [分析] 细节题型。

从文章第二句(These are known as the Recommended Dietary Allowances(RDAs) and are updated regularly based on new research in nutrition.)得知RDAs会根据营养学上的新发现经常更新推荐的日摄食量。所以“推荐的日摄食量经常更新的原因是营养学上经常有新的发现”,选项A正确。

73.D [分析] 细节题型。

见文章第三句:RDAs are suggested amounts of calories,protein,and some minerals and vitamins for an adequate diet.选项D正确,选项A、B、C都不全面。

74.B [分析] 推断题型。

见文章第二句:These are known as the Recommended Dietary Allowances(RDAs) and are updated regularly based on new research in nutrition.可知RDAs要经常更新,所以选项A不对;选项C、D也被排除;只有选项B正确。

75.D [分析] 细节题型。

见第一段最后一句:These suggestions are especially appropriate for people who have other factors for chronic diseases due to family history of obesity, premature heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol, or for those who use tobacco.选项A、B、C三个选项都提及到,但只有选项D最全面,所以D正确。

76.C [分析] 细节题型。

见文章最后一句:Cultured pearls are not easily distinguished from natural pearls except by an expert.只有专家才能区分出天然珍珠和人工培育的珍珠。珠宝商当然应是这类专家,所以选项C正确。A.Scuba diver 戴水肺的潜水员B.Fisherman 渔民和D.Clerk职员当然不是鉴别珠宝的行家了。

77.C [分析] 细节题型。

见文章第四句:Nacre is composed chiefly of calcium carbonate.选项C.Calcium carbonate(碳酸钙)正确。78.B [分析] 细节题型。

文章第二句(A pearl is the response of a marine…a live mollusk.)指出:天然珍珠中的刺激性的杂物是偶然进入体内的(accidentally introduced into its body);而人工培育的珍珠中的杂物是人为加入的(the intentional insertion);所以选项B正确。

79.C [分析] 推断题型。

文中第三句(Whether introduced accidentally or intentionally,the pearl-making process is the same:the mollusk coats the irritant with a substance called nacre.)说明无论是天然珍珠还是人工养殖的珍珠,它们的形成过程是一样的:贝类用一种被称之为珍珠质的物质将刺激性的杂物包裹住。由此推断出珍珠质nacre是贝类the mollusk滋生分泌出的,所以选项C正确。

80.C [分析] 主旨题型。

阅读全文可知本文介绍了珍珠有天然和人工养殖两种形成方式;所以选项C正确。

81.B [分析] 细节题型。

文章第二句(…a cultured pearl is the result of the intentional insertion of a mother- of-pearl bead into a live mollusk.)指出:人工培育的珍珠是在活的贝类中人为加入珍珠母珠(the intentional insertion of a mother-of-pearl bead):所以选项B.an oyster into which a piece of grit(粗沙)has been placed正确。

见文章第五句:For example,if you're a busy executive who likes to keep occupied all of the time,“taking it easy”at the beach on a beautiful day may be extremely frustrating,nonproductive,and upsetting.选项B.Business executives是答案。

83.A [分析] 推断题型。

由文章第三句(It is unique and personal to each of us.压力是独特且因人而异的。)和第五句的举例来看,因人而异不是指B.Education所受教育;C.Marital status婚姻状况;D.Shoe size鞋的尺寸,由此可推论出“因人而异”指的是个性不同对压力的感受有所不同,所以选项A.Personality正确。

84.B [分析] 推断题型。

由于本文是由the Department of Health and Human Services(人类健康和公共事业部)发表的谈论压力问题的文章,应当不属于A.Federal Bureau of

Investigation(联邦调查局);C.Education Administration(教育部);D.Communicable Diseases Administration(传染病管理部门)负责的范围,而是B.Alcohol,Drug Abuse,and Mental Health Administration(酗酒、滥用毒品和精神健康管理部门)负责的范围。所以选项B正确。

88.D [分析] 细节题型。

见文章倒数第三句:These symptoms may include hallucinations.(幻觉),incoherence(语无伦次),delusions(错觉),lack of judgment,deterioration of the abilities to reason and feel emotion,and a lack of interaction between the patient and his environment.其中提到精神分裂症的症状,选项D.Vertigo(眩晕)不是,所以是答案。

89.D [分析] 推断题型。

见文章前两句:With the sudden onset of severe psychotic symptoms,the individual is said to be experiencing acute schizophrenia(精神分裂症).“Psychotic”means out of touch with reality,or unable to separate real from unreal experiences.一个人如突发严重的精神病则患有急性精神分裂症,而患有精神病则意味着与现实脱节或无法区分真实和虚幻的体验。由此可推论出选项D.cannot distinguish real from unreal正确。90.B [分析] 推断题型。

因为人不会飞,由此可推论出:“thinking that one can fly”的人一定是与现实脱节的,所以选项B正确。

91.D [分析] 推断题型。

见文章第四句:Others have many episodes during a lifetime but lead relatively normal lives during interim periods.……但在发作间歇过着相对正常的生活。由此可推论:发病时人体的机能不能正常发挥,处于虚弱

状态即选项A。明显的症状是与C相符,间歇发作。文章第一句With the sudden onset of暗示疾病是突发的,即选项B。关于药物是否会引发疾病发作没有任何信息提示,故选项D应为答案。

92.A [分析] 细节题型。

见文章第五句:The individual with chronic(continuous or recurring)schizophrenia often does not fully recover normal functioning and typically requires long-term treatment,…。慢性精神分裂症患者常无法完全恢复正常的机能且需要长期的治疗,……。四个选项中A.medicines药物:B.neurotic episodes神经病的发作;C.psychotic episodes精神病的发作;D.time。只有A符合题意:慢性精神分裂症患者常要借助于药物(治疗)。

93.C [分析] 是非题型。

见文章第二段:For millions of people suffering from arthritis,it is the only thing that works.Aspirin,in short,is truly...It is also the second largest suicide drug...are largely unrecognized among users.对于数百万关节炎患者来说,阿司匹林是唯一有效的药,简言之,它是20世纪真正的灵丹妙药。它还是第二大的自杀用药和儿童中毒的主要原因。尽管它的副作用很小,用药者却对之不甚了解。由此可知:选项A、B 均有提及,虽然文章提及阿司匹林是儿童中毒的主要原因,却没谈及中毒原因,所以不能简单认定它对小儿危险,则选项C未被捉及应是答案。而选项D的内容本段最后一句有所提及。

94.B [分析] 推断题型。

第二段谈到:阿司匹林是第二大自杀性药物,会引发儿童中毒,还有一些未被确认的副作用,所以可推论出选项B。

95.B [分析] 细节题型。

见文章第三段首句:Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899,it has been around much longer than that.和同段倒数第三句:During the 19th century,there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical,and it led to the introduction of aspirin.选项B正确。

96.D [分析] 主旨题型。

第三段的主旨是叙述阿司匹林的历史:追溯到古希腊的医药之父希波克拉底的发现,19世纪面世,1899年首次出售,1915年片剂在美国诞生。选项D正确。

97.D [分析] 是非题型。

见最后一段的第一、二两句:A small quantity of aspirin relieves pain and inflammation.It also reduces fever by affecting some of the body's reactions.Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining.少量的阿司匹林可消炎止痛,还可通过刺激人的机体反应来退烧;但它对胃粘膜有刺激。所以选项D是答案。

98.D [分析] 细节题型。

文章最后两句(The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water,but few people can stand the bitter taste.Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice.)说明正确的服药方法中只有选项D未被提及,是答案。

99.B [分析] 态度题型。

从作者在文中所用的词(safest,most effective,most popular,effective,cheap,the only thing that works)可看出作者对阿司匹林是持肯定态度的,所以选项B正确。

100.D[分析] 主旨题型。

文章开篇就强调了本文的主旨:阿司匹林是现今世界上人类发明的最安全、有效,最受欢迎的药物之一;它还是有效的去痛剂。它的副作用相对较小而且价格便宜。因此选项D是正确答案。

翻译三级笔译实务模拟27 Section Ⅰ English Chinese Translation 1、As the importance of recycling becomes more apparent, questions about it linger. Is it worth the effort? How does it work? Is recycling waste just going into a landfill in China? Here are some answers. It is an awful lot of rubbish. Since 1960 the amount of municipal waste being collected in America has nearly tripled, reaching 245m tonnes in 2005. According to European Union statistics, the amount of municipal waste produced in western Europe increased by 23% between 1995 and 2003, to reach 577kg per person. (So much for the plan to reduce waste per person to 300kg by 2000.) As the volume of waste has increased, so have recycling efforts. In 1980 America recycled only 9.6% of its municipal rubbish ; today the rate stands at 32%. A similar trend can be seen in Europe, where some countries, such as Austria and the Netherlands, now recycle 60% or more of their municipal waste. Britain's recycling rate, at 27%, is low, but it is improving fast, having nearly doubled in the past three years. Even so, when a city introduces a kerbside recycling programme, the sight of all those recycling lorries trundling around can raise doubts about whether the collection and transportation of waste materials requires more energy than it saves. "We are constantly being asked: Is recycling worth doing on environmental grounds?" says Julian Parfitt, principal analyst at Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), a non-profit British company that encourages recycling and develops markets for recycled materials. Studies that look at the entire life cycle of a particular material can shed light on this question in a particular case, but WRAP decided to take a broader look. It asked the Technical University of Denmark and the Danish Topic Centre on Waste to conduct a review of 55 life-cycle analyses, all of which were selected because of their rigorous methodology. The researchers then looked at more than 200 scenarios, comparing the impact of recycling with that of burying or burning particular types of waste material. They found that in 83% of all scenarios that included recycling, it was indeed better for the environment. Based on this study, WRAP calculated that Britain's recycling efforts reduce its carbon-dioxide emissions by 10m-15m tonnes per year. That is equivalent to a 10% reduction in Britain's annual carbon-dioxide emissions from transport, or roughly equivalent to taking 3.5m cars off the roads. Similarly, America's Environmental Protection Agency estimates that recycling reduced the country's

[模拟] 翻译三级笔译实务模拟25 Section ⅠEnglish Chinese Translation Translate the following two passages into Chinese . 第1题: Acid rain, is a form of air pollution, currently a subject of great controversy because of widespread environmental damage for which it has been blamed. It forms when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with atmospheric moisture to yield sulfuric and nitric acids, which may then be carded long distances from their source before they are deposited by rain. The pollution many also take the form of snow or fog or be precipitated in dry forms. In fact, although the term "acid rain" has been in use for more than a century — it is derived from atmospheric studies that were made in the region of Manchester, England — the more accurate scientific term would be "acid deposition." The dry form of such precipitation is just as damaging as the liquid form, especially to trees and structures. Furthermore, some of the pollutants also associated with acid rain are not themselves acidic. The problem of acid rain may be said to have originated with the Industrial Revolution, and it has been growing ever since. The severity of its effects has long been recognized in local settings, as exemplified by the spells of acid smog in heavily industrialized areas. The wide destructiveness of acid rain, however, has come to be realized only in recent decades. One large area that has been studied extensively is northern Europe, where acid rain has eroded structures, injured crops and forests, and threatened or depleted life in freshwater lakes. In 1983, for example, published reports indicated that 34 percent of the forested areas of West Germany had been damaged by acid rain. The northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada have also been affected by this form of pollution, and other areas of the two countries are also showing increasing signs of damages, as are other regions of the world. Industrial emissions have been blamed as the major cause of acid rain. Because the chemical reactions involved in the production of acid rain in the atmosphere are complex and as yet little understood, industries have tended to challenge such assessments and to stress the need for further studies; and because of the cost of pollution reduction, governments have tended to support this attitude. Studies released by the U.S. government in the early 1980s, however, strongly implicated industries as the main source of acid rain._____________

全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级笔译实务模拟试题 Part 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET (60 points, 100 minutes). I leave the vault, and as the guard closes the door, a marine archaeologist asks if I want to see anything else. As an example he shows me an astrolabe, a navigation tool that preceded the sextant. Few have survived. "We have three of the oldest known," he says. He directs me to a paper on astrolabes written by a Cuban colleague, who quoted a 16th-century instruction: "He who wants to take the sun with an astrolabe at sea, must be seated near the main mast, the place where the boat oscillates the least and is quiet." I want to take the measure of Cubas past, so I tell the archaeologist I would like to go to the place where the plain things are. I am here not only to see treasures that glitter but also to see and touch objects that illumine moments of the past. Smiling, he takes me into storage rooms where he and other archaeologists preserve cargoes from four centuries of wrecks. Jumbled on these shelves is the stuff of Cubas long reign as counting house and command center for Spains New World colonies. I see knickknacks destined for one of the annual 18th-century trade fairs, where Cubans bought imports from Spain. I also see, pallid from centuries in the sea, dozens of little painted ceramic dogs, lions, cats, and deer later shipped from England. Stacked nearby are sets of dinner dishes, tankards, an hourglass, a bottle of very Old Spanish wine. On another day, in fading light, I walk the ramparts of El Morro, its lighthouse standing tall over Havanas harbor. The old fortress, by day a warren of tourist stops, changes by night, looming deeper into the shadows of Havanas past. As torches light the darkness, I watch Cuban soldiers, costumed as 18th-century Spanish sentries, march along the ramparts of the Castillo de San Carlos and fire a cannon that salutes

翻译三级笔译实务-1 (总分:100.00,做题时间:90分钟) 一、{{B}}Section Ⅰ English Chinese Translation{{/B}}(总题数:1,分数:60.00) 1.A few weeks back, I asked a 14-year-old friend how she was coping with school. Referring to stress, she heaved a big sigh and said: "Aiyah, anything bad that can happen has already happened." Her friends nearby then started pouring out their woes about which subjects they found hard, and so on. Pessimism again, in these all-too-familiar remarks about Singapore's education system, widely regarded as too results-oriented, and I wonder why I even bothered to ask. The school system of reaching for A's underlies the country's culture, which emphasizes the chase for economic excellence where wealth and status are must-haves. Such a culture is hard to change. So when I read of how the new Remaking Singapore Committee had set one of its goals as challenging the traditional roads to success, encouraging Singaporeans to realize alternative careers in the arts, sports, research or as entrepreneurs, I had my doubts about its success in this area, if not coupled with help from parents themselves. The new Remaking Singapore Committee is a brainchild of the Singaporean Prime Minister, formed to make Singaporeans look beyond the five C's: cash, condos, clubs, credit cards and cars, to help prepare the nation for the future. It is good that the government wants to do something about the country's preoccupation with material success. But it will be a losing battle if the family unit itself is not involved because I believe the committee's success is rooted in a revamp of an entire culture built from 37 years of independence. This makeover has to start with the most basic societal unit—the family. Parents should not drown their children in mantras of I-want-hundred-marks. Tuition lessons are not the be-all and end-all of life. And a score of 70 for a Chinese paper is definitely not the end of life. If ever I become a parent, I will bring my children camping. I will show them that cooking food in a mess tin over a campfire is fun. I will teach them that there is nothing dirty about lying on a sleeping bag over grass. In fact, it is educational because Orion is up there in the night sky with all the other bright stars whose shapes and patterns tell something more than a myth. For instance, they give directions to the lost traveler, I will say. And who knows, my child may become an astronomer years down the road. All because of the nights I spent with him watching the twinkles in the sky. That's my point. Parents should teach their children that there's more to life than studies. Better still if the nation's leaders echo that idea as well. This way, when their children aspire to be the next Joscelin Yeo, they won't feel like they are fighting a losing battle against a society that holds doctors and lawyers in awe. However, the culture that babysits economic excellence is deeply ingrained and so are the mindsets of many parents. But parents can take the cue from the new Remaking Singapore Committee and be aware of giving their children the right kind of education. It is now wait-and-see if, say, 10 years down the road, more would choose alternative careers. Hopefully, by then no one would think sportsmen or musicians as making too big a sacrifice in chasing their dreams. (分数:60.00) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:() 解析:几个星期前,我问一个14岁的朋友她如何应对自己的学业。谈到压力,她深叹一口气说:“哎呀,这儿事要多糟,有多糟。” 随后,她周围的朋友便开始就他们认为那些难学的学科倾诉自己的苦恼。人们普遍认为,新加坡的教育制度过分注重成绩,而这些孩子耳熟能详的言晤再次表现了对新加坡教育制度的悲观情绪。我不知道自己为什么还要费心一问。追求功课得优的学校体制构成了新加坡文化的基础,这一文化重在追求经济上的杰出成就,而这一成就则体现在一定要获得财富和地位。这种文化是难以改变的。新成立的改造新加坡委员会已将其目标之一确定为向传统的成功之路发起挑战,鼓励新加坡人去从事其它职业,如艺术,体育、研究或成为企业家。当我获知此情时,我怀疑如果没有家长的配合,这方面的改造

Welcome to Beaverton, a Portland suburb that is home to Oregon’s fastest growing immigrant population. Once a rural community, Beaverton, population 87,000, is now the sixth largest city in Oregon — with immigration rates higher than those of Portland, Oregon’s largest city. Best known as the world headquarters for athletic shoe company Nike, Beaverton has changed dramatically over the past 40 years. Settled by immigrants from northern Europe in the 19th century, today it is a place where 80 languages from Albanian to Urdu are spoken in the public schools and about 30 percent of students speak a language besides English, according to English as a Second Language program director Wei Wei Lou. Beaverton’s wave of new residents began arriving in the 1960s, with Koreans and Tejanos (Texans of Mexican origin), who were the first permanent Latinos.
