7、ilities. Even within the print media there are critical differences in style and approach which must be noted by anyone designing an advertisement for printing in a newspaper as opposed to a magazine. Magazine advertising in turn is not one unified field, for there are many different types of magazi

11、a.正確答案：A答案解析：解 析 推理判斷題。文章第六段中的too many clever words(illustration)and too few facts and figures(data)解釋了“too much illustration and too few facts and figures”的意思，即解釋太多，而沒有足夠的數(shù)據(jù)和統(tǒng)計數(shù)字。要推斷這個答案要對照后面的句子，往往后面的句子就是對這個詞匯或短語的再次解釋。第2題：According to the author, the most important step in developing an effective c

While we sleep, dreams compare new emotional experience to old memories, creating patterns of old images laid on top of new ones.

18、As she puts it, You wake up and think, what was Uncle Harry doing in my dream I havent seen him for 50 years. But the old and new images are emotionally related. Its the job of the conscious mind to figure out the relationship.In fact ,dream emotions can help real therapists treat patients undergoin

26、情可以使人們記住在災(zāi)難發(fā)生時做什么，故可排除D)。Experiments under way in several labs aim to create beneficial types of genetically modified (GM) foods, including starchier potatoes and caffeine-free coffee beans. Genetic engineers are even trying to transfer genes from a cold-winter fish to make a frost-resistant tomato.

27、 A low-sugar GM strawberry now in the works might one day allow people with health problems such as diabetes to enjoy the little delicious red fruits again. GM beans and grains rich in protein might help people at risk of developing kwashiorkor( 惡性營養(yǎng)不良). Kwashiorkor, a disease caused by severe lack

28、of protein, is common in parts of the world where there are severe food shortages. Commenting on GM foods, Jonathon Jones, a British researcher, said: The future benefits will be enormous, and the best is yet to come. To some people, GM foods are no different from unmodified foods. A tomato is a tom

29、ato, said Brian Sansoni, an American food manufacturer. However, critics of GM foods challenge Sansonis opinion. They worry about the harm that GM crops might do to people, other animals, and plants. In a recent lab study conducted at Cornell University, scientists tested pollen(花粉) made by Bt-corn,

30、 which makes up one-fourth of the U.S. corn crop. The scientist sprinkled the pollen onto milkweed, a plant that makes a milky juice and is the only known food source of the monarch butter fly caterpillar(毛蟲). Within four days of chewing the milkweed leaves, almost half of a test group of caterpilla

31、rs had died. Monarchs are considered to be a flagship species for conservation, said Cornell researcher Linda Raynor. This is a warning bell. Some insects that are not killed by GM foods might find themselves made stronger. How so The insecticides used to protect most of todays crops are sprayed on

32、the crops when needed and decay quickly in the environment. But GM, plants produce a continuous level of insecticide. Insect species feeding on those crops may develop. resistance to the plants and could do so in a hurry, say the critics. Insects may also develop a resistance to the insecticide Bt.

33、At the forum on GM food held last year in Canada, scientists said GM crops that have been made resistant to the herbicide might crossbreed with wild plants, creating super-weeds that could take over whole fields. So where do you stand Should GM food be banned in the United States, as they are in par

34、ts of Europe Or do their benefits outweigh any of the risks they might carry第5題：The author cited the case of the pollen-sprayed milkweed leaves in Paragraph 3 to show_.AGM foods may harm cropsBGM foods contain more proteinCGM foods can kill insects effectivelyDGM foods also have a dark side正確答案：D答案解

35、析：解 析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段：科學(xué)家將谷物的花粉噴灑到馬力筋上(一種能產(chǎn)生汁液的惟一可知的霸王蝶幼蟲的食物來源)，試驗結(jié)果是有一半的霸王蝶的幼 蟲被殺死，所以這個試驗是用來揭示轉(zhuǎn)基因植物不好的一面的，故D)項為正確答案。A)項“轉(zhuǎn)基因食品傷害植物”不正確，因為植物本身沒有受到傷害，是食用 植物的昆蟲受到了傷害；B)項“轉(zhuǎn)基因食品含有更多的蛋白”不是此處例子所證明的事情；C)項“轉(zhuǎn)基因食品能有效殺死害蟲”不符合人們開發(fā)轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的初 衷，也不是例子所證明的方面。第6題：What can be inferred from the first paragraph答案解析：解 析推理判斷題。在

36、第一段中作者列舉了許多轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的例子，都是說轉(zhuǎn)基因食品為人類帶來的好處，比如低糖轉(zhuǎn)基因草莓可以使糖尿病人重新品嘗這種紅色果 實，含高蛋白的食品可以幫助那些惡性營養(yǎng)不良的人們等等，因此正確答案為D)。選A)項“轉(zhuǎn)基因食品對惡性營養(yǎng)不良的人有好處”是文章第一段所列舉的例 子，從這個例子中只可以看出轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的好處，而例子本身不具有概括性；B)項“我們認(rèn)識到轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的好處越早越好”文中沒有提及；C)項“轉(zhuǎn)基因食品 既有好處，也有壞處”是文章后面論述的內(nèi)容，不是第一段的內(nèi)容。No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attrib

37、uted to the late Duchess (公爵夫人) of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue. The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been

38、 on a diet for the better-or worse-part of my life. Being rich wouldnt be bad either, but that wont happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars. Where did we go off the track When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh

39、 unappealing, if not repellent All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating, and excessive eating is one of Christianitys seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable sa

40、lvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being. Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat-or even only somewhat overweight-is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength. Our obsession (迷戀) with thinness

41、is also fueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that, in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and

42、our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem-too much fat and a lack of fiber-than a weight problem. The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exerci

43、se is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are) thin

44、 think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be pure vainglory (虛榮) .第7題：In the eyes of the author, an odd phenomenon nowadays is that_Athe Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtueBlooking slim is a symbol of having a

46、tandards正確答案：B An ideal underlying the United States educational system is that of producing a society that is 100 per cent literate. All American states have compulsory attendance laws that require young people to attend school until a specified age. The goal of 100 per cent literacy has yet to be

47、achieved, and may never be achieved. Education is an enormous and expensive part of American life. Its size is matched by its variety.Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyoneno

48、t just for a privileged elite. Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses

49、 as typing, sewing, radio repair, computer programming or drive training, along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history, and languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American education

50、is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic and community conscious ness.Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and Americanizing the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country fr

51、om many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intell
