OneTwo

hundred

years

ago,

American

students

went

to

American

schools.

Like

you,they

studied

arithmetic,

spelling

and

geography.

Unlike

you,

they

also

studied

Greekand

Latin.

In

fact,

students

spent

more

than

half

their

time

studying

Greek

and

Latin.The

same

was

true

for

most

students

in

Europe.

Until

the

seventh

century,

alleducated

Europeans

knew

Latin.

It

did

not

matter

if

they

lived

in

England

or

Italy

orFrance

or

Spain.

If

they

were

educated,

they

knew

Latin.During

the

seventh

century,

educated

Europeans

began

to

study

Greek

as

wellas

Latin.

Greek

and

Latin

had

been

the

leading

languages

of

the

ancient

Greeks

andRomans.

All

educated

Europeans

were

expected

to

know

these

languages.To

educated

Europeans,

the

languages

of

the

Greeks

and

the

Romans

wereimportant.

The

ideas

of

the

Greeks

and

Romans

were

also

important.

People

knewthat

many

of

their

own

ideas

had

come

from

the

Greeks

and

the

Romans.

Tounderstand

their

own

culture,

they

must

understand

its

origin.

They

knew

that

thosebeginnings

lay

in

the

classical

world.Today

we

have

so

many

things

to

study

that

few

people

have

time

to

learnGreek

and

Latin.

Few

of

you

will

study

either

language

in

school.

Yet

the

ideas

of

theGreeks

and

the

Romans

are

still

important

to

us.

These

ideas

still

help

to

shapeWestern

culture

today.

To

understand

our

own

culture,

we

must

understand

theculture

of

the

classical

world.36.

The

The

TwoWould

you

eat

a

bacon,

lettuce

and

love

apple

sandwich'?.

You

probably

haveeaten

many

of

them.

Love

apple

was

the

name

used

many

years

ago

for

the

tomato.The

tomato

is

originally

an

American

plant.

It

was

found

in

South

America

byearly

Spanish

explorers.

The

word

tomato

comes

from

the

native

Nahuatl

wordtomatl.

But

when

it

moved

north,

the

plant

earned

a

different

name.

Remarkably,the

settlers

in

North

America

thought

it

was

poisonous.

They

believed

that

to

eat

itwas

surely

to

die.

It

was

said

that

deserted

suitors

would

threaten

to

eat

a

tomato

tocause

their

coldhearted

lovers

regret.

Because

of

this

legend,

the

settlers

called

thetomato

a

"love

apple.

"

While

people

enjoyed

other

native

plants

such

as

corn

andsweet

potatoes,

everyone

avoided

the

tomato.No

one

knows

who

first

dared

to

eat

a

tomato.

Perhaps

someone

was

braveenough,

or

lovesick

enough,

to

try

out

the

truth

of

the

rumors.

Of

course,

whoeverate

this

fruit

was

perfectly

safe.

No

one

died

from

eating

a

love

apple.

Still,

it

wasmany

years

before

the

people

fully

believed

that

the

tomato

was

a

safe,

and

evengood

food.

But

its

use

did

become

common,

and

the

plant

was

sent

across

the

oceanto

become

part

of

many

traditional

European

dishes.40.

ThreeNature

has

devised

many

ways

to

protect

creatures'

eyes.

The

most

commonprotection

is

the

eyelid--a

fold

of

skin

that

closes

over

the

eye,

protecting

it

fromdamage.

Eyelashes

are

useful

for

keeping

out

dust

and

other

irritants,

and

tearswash

away

any

particles

that

get

through

the

other

defenses.Some

creatures,

including

most

birds,

have

three

eyelids.

The

upper

and

lowerlids

act

like

human

lids

and

keep

out

twigs,

dirt

and

sand.

The

third

eyelid,

however,is

a

semitransparent

tissue

that

crosses

over

the

eye

from

the

inside

corner

to

theoutside

corner.

Because

of

this

protective

membrane,

birds

seldom

have

to

blink.They

close

their

eyes

only

when

they

go

to

sleep.

In

ducks,

this

third

eyelid

self

asan

underwater

diving

mask

that

helps

the

ducks

find

food.Most

fish

and

snakes

have

no

eyelids

at

all.

Instead,

a

hard

glassy

coveringprotects

their

eyes.

In

fish,

water

constantly

sweeps

away

dirt

from

the

covering.And

a

snake's

eyesight

is

usually

so

bad

that

a

little

dirt

obscuring

its

vision

does

notdisturb

it

greatly.Eyelashes

defend

the

eye

by

shading

it

from

glare.

They

also

act

like

miniaturebrushes

to

remove

dust.

Camels

have

lashes

that

are

four

inches

long

to

protecttheir

eyes

from

windblown

sand

in

the

desert.44.

FourAs

part

of

an

ongoing

campaign

against

polyvinyl

chloride

(聚氯乙烯

),

aVirginia-basedenvironmental

advocacy

group

today

called

on

manufacturers

and

retailers

to

phaseout

its

use

in

shower

curtains.

The

Center

for

Health,

Environment

and

Justice(CHEJ)

,

released

the

results

of

a

small

study

indicating

that

PVC

(

聚氯乙烯)-containing

shower

curtains

are

capable

of

emitting

scores

of

potentially

harmfulmaterials,

into

people's

bathrooms.

A

previous

study,

conducted

by

EnvironmentalProtection

Agency

researchers,

also

found

that

plastic

shower

curtains

can

emit

toxiccompounds

into

the

air.There's

still

debate

among

scientists

about

just

how

serious

the

health

effects

areespecially

at

low

doses.

However,

CHEJ

urges

consumers

to

avoid

using

PVC

showercurtains,

as

well

as

many

other

PVC

products.For

people

who

are

concerned

about

their

shower

curtains,

there

are

alternatives.IKEA

phased

out

PVC

shower

curtains

11

years

ago,

switching

to

ethylene

vinylacetate

(乙烯醋酸共聚物).

The

company

has

said

that

88

percent

of

its

showercurtains

would

be

PVC

free

by

spring

of

2008.Manufacturers

are

not

required

to

label

shower

curtains,

but

some

do

list"

PVC"or"

vinyl"

on

the

packaging.

Numerous

online

retailers,

sell

shower

curtains--primarilycotton

or

hemp--that

are

free

of

PVC.

However,

mildew(發(fā)霉)

can

be

a

problem

withcotton

and

hemp

products.48.

What

did

the

study

released

by

the

Center

for

Health,

Environment

and

Justiceshow?A.

That

PVC

stands

for

polyvinyl

chloride.B.

Manufacturers

are

not

required

to

label

shower

curtains.C.

That

most

shower

curtains

sold

at

IKEA

are

made

from

PVC.D.

That

PVC

shower

curtains

may

release

potentially

harmful

materials.49.

What

material

are

made

from?A.

Ethylene

What's

the

They

are

see-through.B.

They

are

too

expensive.C.

They

may

They

emit

harmful

materials.51.

Is

it

easy

for

consumers

to

tell

that

a

shower

curtain

is

made

from

PVC?A.

Yes,

that

information

is

always

on

the

shower

label.B.

Not

always,

because

shower

curtains

don't

have

to

be

labeled.C.

Yes,

but

only

if

they're

made

by

IKEA

after

2008.D.

No,

because

they

only

contain

low

auctioneers拍賣(mài)商給出的具體的錢(qián)數(shù)，可以知道這句話的大概意思：一幅梵·高的作品《向日葵》拍賣(mài)到多少錢(qián)。這里應(yīng)是售出。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。22．這個(gè)空的后面提到以前付過(guò)的價(jià)錢(qián)，這里應(yīng)指這個(gè)價(jià)格是以前的多少倍。選項(xiàng)A是正確的。23．前面已經(jīng)說(shuō)了是拍賣(mài)，bidder可估計(jì)是投標(biāo)者，為了這幅畫(huà)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。這種競(jìng)爭(zhēng)不是肢體上的爭(zhēng)斗

fight，也不是口頭上的爭(zhēng)論argue，當(dāng)然也不是喊叫

A是正確的。24．通過(guò)電話競(jìng)買(mǎi)這幅畫(huà)。By經(jīng)、由，如果用

on，名詞前應(yīng)有定冠詞。選項(xiàng)D是正確的。25．這里實(shí)際指價(jià)值多少，應(yīng)付多少。Must表示一定、必須，語(yǔ)氣很強(qiáng)；might表示可能，could表示能夠，均與上下文語(yǔ)氣不符。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。26．so，very，such都表示強(qiáng)調(diào)，但

speak后不能直接跟某人。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。28．Who

was表明所修飾的人是單數(shù)。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。29．前面有

more，表明是比較級(jí)：more．．．than。再根據(jù)上下文：花那么多錢(qián)買(mǎi)一幅畫(huà)并不是所有的人都贊同。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。30．Do表示強(qiáng)調(diào)，修飾動(dòng)詞，被修飾的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用原型。根據(jù)后面所說(shuō)，畫(huà)家的實(shí)際生活和他的畫(huà)的價(jià)值具有相當(dāng)大的反差。所以人們覺(jué)得不舒服，但不能說(shuō)認(rèn)為不舒服。選項(xiàng)

C是正確的。31．表示二者之間用

A是正確的。35．全篇講了畫(huà)家的畫(huà)在今天的價(jià)值，又說(shuō)了畫(huà)家生前的生活，由此，畫(huà)家的畫(huà)和畫(huà)家的生活是人們不可思議的，所以說(shuō)是給人們留下了無(wú)窮的想象。選項(xiàng)D是正確的?！驹拇笠狻吭谒囆g(shù)家梵·高誕辰紀(jì)念日時(shí)，他的作品《向日葵》在倫敦Christie’s(專(zhuān)門(mén)從事美術(shù)作品買(mǎi)賣(mài)的公司)拍賣(mài)出了近

Comprehension第一篇【答案】36．C

37．B

38．B

39．A【解析】36．第四段。這個(gè)單詞的后面一句提到beginnings，這是對(duì)

origin的解釋?zhuān)鹤畛醯?、最開(kāi)始的。要想了解他們自己的文化，就必須知道它的起源。選項(xiàng)c是正確的。37．第三段。7世紀(jì)的時(shí)候，受過(guò)教育的歐洲人都既學(xué)希臘語(yǔ)又學(xué)拉丁語(yǔ)。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。38．最后一段。如今，我們有很多事情要學(xué)以至于幾乎沒(méi)有人有時(shí)間學(xué)希臘語(yǔ)和拉丁語(yǔ)了。選項(xiàng)

B是正確的。39．這篇文章的主要觀點(diǎn)是說(shuō)無(wú)論過(guò)去大家都學(xué)希臘語(yǔ)和拉丁語(yǔ)，還是現(xiàn)在幾乎無(wú)人學(xué)希臘語(yǔ)和拉丁語(yǔ)，羅馬和希臘對(duì)歐洲文化仍然起著很重要的作用。選項(xiàng)

A

是正確的?！驹拇笠狻?jī)砂倌暌郧埃绹?guó)學(xué)生進(jìn)美國(guó)學(xué)校，跟你一樣，他們學(xué)算術(shù)、英文拼寫(xiě)和地理。但跟你不同的是，他們還要學(xué)希臘語(yǔ)和拉丁語(yǔ)。事實(shí)上，學(xué)生花在學(xué)習(xí)希臘語(yǔ)和拉丁語(yǔ)的時(shí)間超過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間的一半。歐洲的大多數(shù)學(xué)生也是如此。直到7世紀(jì)，所有受過(guò)教育的歐洲人都懂拉丁語(yǔ)。無(wú)論是居住在英格蘭、意大利、法國(guó)還是西班牙，只要他受過(guò)教育，他就會(huì)拉丁語(yǔ)。在

7世紀(jì)，受過(guò)教育的歐洲人開(kāi)始學(xué)希臘語(yǔ)，也學(xué)拉丁語(yǔ)。這兩種語(yǔ)言已經(jīng)成為古希臘和古羅馬的第一位語(yǔ)言。所有受過(guò)教育的歐洲人都要求會(huì)這兩種語(yǔ)言。對(duì)于受過(guò)教育的歐洲人來(lái)說(shuō)，希臘和羅馬的語(yǔ)言是非常重要的。希臘和羅馬的思想也是非常重要的。人們很清楚他們的許多觀點(diǎn)都來(lái)自希臘和羅馬。要想理解自己的文化，就必須知道它的起源。他們明白，起源存在于古典世界中。而今天，我們有太多的事情要學(xué)以至于幾乎無(wú)人有時(shí)問(wèn)學(xué)習(xí)希臘語(yǔ)和拉丁語(yǔ)。你們幾乎沒(méi)有人在學(xué)校學(xué)這兩種語(yǔ)言。然而，希臘和羅馬的思想對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)仍然非常重要。這些思想仍然起著形成當(dāng)今西方文化的作用。要了解我們自己的文化，就必須了解古典世界的文化。第二篇【答案】40．C

41．B

42．A

43．C【解析】40．第二段。Tomato這個(gè)詞來(lái)源于納華族文字的tomatl。選項(xiàng)

C是正確的。41．第二段。北美人認(rèn)為這個(gè)植物是有毒的，他們認(rèn)為吃了它肯定會(huì)死。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。42．第二段。Deserted被拋棄的。原句的意思是：被拋棄的suitor會(huì)威脅說(shuō)吃西紅柿使情人悔恨。提到情人，可以斷定suitor是相愛(ài)雙方的一方。Suitor追求者，通常指男性。選項(xiàng)

A是正確的。43．從

love

apple到

tomato，從最初的納華族到世界各地，從無(wú)人敢嘗試這最普通的食物，文章講了西紅柿的歷史。選項(xiàng)C是正確的?！驹拇笠狻磕愠耘D肉、萵苣和愛(ài)情果三明治嗎

?你可能吃過(guò)很多。很多年前人們把西紅柿叫愛(ài)情果。西紅柿最初是美洲的植物。早期的西班牙探險(xiǎn)者在南美發(fā)現(xiàn)了它。西紅柿的名字最初來(lái)源于納華族的

tomatl。但當(dāng)這個(gè)植物移居到北部，就有了不同的名字。不可思議的是，北美的移居者認(rèn)為西紅柿是有毒的。他們認(rèn)為吃了它肯定就會(huì)死。據(jù)說(shuō)，被拋棄的追求者會(huì)威脅說(shuō)要吃西紅柿，以便使心腸冷酷的情人感到悔恨?；谶@個(gè)傳說(shuō)，移居者就把西紅柿叫“愛(ài)情果”。但是，人們卻非常欣賞其他當(dāng)?shù)氐闹参?，如玉米、甜薯等等，每個(gè)人都對(duì)西紅柿敬而遠(yuǎn)之。沒(méi)有人知道誰(shuí)是第一個(gè)敢于嘗試西紅柿的。也許有人如此膽大或相思得如此痛苦，以至于要證實(shí)傳說(shuō)的真實(shí)性。當(dāng)然，吃了這個(gè)果實(shí)的人很安全。沒(méi)人因?yàn)槌粤藧?ài)情果而死亡。過(guò)了很多年人們才完全相信西紅柿是安全的，甚至是很好的食物。而它的用途也極為普通，這個(gè)植物被送往大海的另一邊成了歐洲許多國(guó)家的傳統(tǒng)菜肴。第三篇【答案】44．A

45．D

46．D

47．D【解析】44．最后一段最后一句。駱駝的眼睫毛如此長(zhǎng)是為了擋住沙漠中大風(fēng)吹起的沙子。選項(xiàng)

A是正確的。45．作者說(shuō)，大多數(shù)的魚(yú)和蛇沒(méi)有眼皮，但并未說(shuō)所有的蜥蜴都沒(méi)有眼皮，排除選項(xiàng)A。第一段說(shuō)眼皮和眼睫毛都是保護(hù)眼睛的；第二段說(shuō)有些動(dòng)物如鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)有三層眼皮，但并未說(shuō)睫毛；第三段說(shuō)有些動(dòng)物沒(méi)有眼皮；第四段說(shuō)駱駝的睫毛長(zhǎng)。這些都未提及有眼皮就肯定有睫毛，排除選項(xiàng)C。選項(xiàng)

D是正確的。46．第二段最后。鴨子的第三層眼皮如同潛水罩。選項(xiàng)D是正確的。47．選項(xiàng)

B是錯(cuò)的。文章不光討論了鳥(niǎo)，也討論了魚(yú)、蛇等；文章討論的焦點(diǎn)不是眼睛而是眼皮。選項(xiàng)

D是正確的。文章討論了保護(hù)眼睛的是什么?！驹拇笠狻看笞匀唤o動(dòng)物設(shè)計(jì)了很多保護(hù)眼睛的方法。最普通的保護(hù)方式是眼皮——眼睛外部一層折疊的皮膚，用來(lái)保護(hù)眼睛免受傷害。眼睫毛是用來(lái)?yè)踝⊥鈦?lái)的灰塵和其他的刺激物的。眼淚可以沖刷掉沖破其他防御措施進(jìn)入眼睛的微粒。有些動(dòng)物，包括大多數(shù)的鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)，有三層眼皮。上下眼皮跟人類(lèi)眼皮的功能是一樣的：把碎枝、灰塵和沙子阻擋在外。而第三層眼皮是半透明的薄膜，從內(nèi)眼角到外眼角蓋住眼睛。正是因?yàn)檫@種保護(hù)膜，鳥(niǎo)很少眨眼。它們只有睡覺(jué)時(shí)才閉眼。對(duì)鴨子來(lái)說(shuō)，這第三層眼皮就像是水下的潛水罩，幫助鴨子尋找食物。大多數(shù)魚(yú)和蛇類(lèi)根本沒(méi)有眼皮，而是有一種堅(jiān)硬的玻璃狀覆蓋層來(lái)保護(hù)眼睛。作為魚(yú)來(lái)講，水不停地把附著在覆蓋層上的臟東西沖洗干凈。而蛇的視力通常是很差的，一點(diǎn)臟東西對(duì)它的視覺(jué)沒(méi)有多大的影響。眼睫毛可作遮擋保護(hù)眼睛免受強(qiáng)光。它們的功能如同微縮的刷子，掃去灰塵。駱駝?dòng)?英寸長(zhǎng)的睫毛來(lái)保護(hù)它們的眼睛不被沙漠中風(fēng)刮起的沙子傷害。第四篇【答案】48．D

49．A

50．C

51．B【解析】48．這篇文章是關(guān)于浴室的浴簾含有聚氯乙烯的問(wèn)題。第一段指出，健康環(huán)境及正義中心發(fā)布了一個(gè)研究報(bào)告，證實(shí)含有聚氯乙烯的浴簾可放射大量的有害物質(zhì)。選項(xiàng)D是正確的。49．第三段。11年前宜家就開(kāi)始逐步淘汰含有聚氯乙烯的浴簾，而改用乙烯醋酸共聚物。選項(xiàng)

A是正確的。50．最后一段，最后一句。用棉或麻做的浴簾的最大問(wèn)題是會(huì)發(fā)霉。選項(xiàng)

C

是正確的。51．最后一段，第一句。并沒(méi)有要求廠家一定要在浴簾上貼標(biāo)簽，但有些廠家的確在包裝上打上含有聚氯乙烯的標(biāo)簽。所以消費(fèi)者不會(huì)很清楚他所買(mǎi)的浴簾是否含有聚氯乙烯。選項(xiàng)

B是正確的。【原文大意】作為抵制聚氯乙烯的持續(xù)戰(zhàn)役的一部分，弗吉尼亞州的環(huán)境保護(hù)組織號(hào)召?gòu)S家和零售商逐步淘汰含有聚氯乙烯的浴
