　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　The latest fashion in kitchen is the food steamer． All the stores are selling them; everyone wants one． Steaming is one of the simplest and healthiest ways of cooking food．However, that cooking time is usually longer than with other methods． In case you’re thinking of buying a steamer, I've done a survey about the steamers available on the market to help you decide which will suit you best．

　　●Folding Steamer

　　The simplest and least expensive is the folding stainless-steel （不锈钢）version．

　　Advantages: This is a good, basic design which sits inside a variety of different shapes of pans with the water under it; a ring in the center allows for easy lifting and it's easy to clean．

　　Disadvantages: It only holds small dishes． Also, if you put too much water in the pan, it will boil up through the vegetables and they will be watery． If you put too little water in and let it get dry, you will burn the pan and get strange-smelling vegetables．

　　●Steaming Pan

　　This is a three-layered black Teflon-coated version with a lid and two double-handled steamers, which sits on the oven ring． The brand I bought is called Nutritious Living．

　　Advantages: This is an excellent steamer, lightweight, easy to clean, and of all the steamers I've tried, this cooks the fastest． Fish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top． It's easier to store．

　　Disadvantages: Water can boil away until the pan is dry, but if you make sure you fill the pan up to the suggested level and do not overcook the food, this should not happen．You cannot see the food cooking from the top． It doesn't supply a dish for cooking rice．

　　For serious users of steamers, I recommend having one of each version． If you just want to try it, get the folding stainless-steel type．

　　【文章解读】本文是说明文。作者主要介绍了两种蒸汽锅的优缺点，建议购买folding steamer。

　　56．Why did the author carry out the survey?

　　A．To inform people of different steamers

　　B．To run an advertisement for steamers

　　C．To find out a suitable steamer to buy

　　D．To learn how to cook with steamers

　　【答案】A

　　【命题立意】考查细节辨认题。

　　A告诉人们不同的蒸汽机；B为蒸汽机做广告；C找出一台合适的蒸汽机购买；D学会如何用蒸汽机做饭。根据文章第一段的最后一句话In case you’re thinking of buying a steamer, I've done a survey about the steamers available on the market to help you decide which will suit you best可知选A。

　　57．What can we learn about the folding steamer?

　　A．It comes in different kinds of shapes and sizes．

　　B．It is designed for large families．

　　C．It is able to clean itself．

　　D．It is easy to take out．

　　【答案】D

　　【命题立意】考查细节辨认题。

　　A它的不同型号和不同形状的；B他为大家庭设计；C她能够自己进行清理；D取出很容易。根据文章Folding Steamer部分的This is a good, basic design which sits inside a variety of different shapes of pans with the water under it; a ring in the center allows for easy lifting and it's easy to clean中的easy lifting可知选D。

　　58． The Nutritious Liuing steamer

　　B． provides a dish to cook rice with

　　C． cooks different foods at the same time

　　D． cooks fish and chicken faster than vegetables

　　【答案】C

　　【命题立意】考查细节辨认题。

　　根据文章steaming pan中的第一段的The brand I bought is called Nutritious Living和第二段的Fish and chicken can be cooked on the bottom with rice or vegetables on the top． It's easier to store可知这种蒸汽锅能够同时烤制不同的食物。故选C。

　　59．According to the author, you should

　　．

　　A． use steamers to save cooking time

　　B． buy a steamer with dishes supplied

　　C． do a survey before choosing a steamer

　　"Shark on the bait （诱饵） !" shouted Andre Harman, pointing to a spot a few yards behind the outboard motors． His voice gave no indication of panic, but the crew suddenly became tense and fixed their eyes on the water． Slowly, smoothly, Andre drew in the bait．The shark followed． No one asked what kind of shark it was． Everything about it, from its color to its shape, tells that it was a great white shark．

　　Andre lifted the bait aboard． Placing himself between the two motors, he dropped his right hand into the water just as the great head reached the first motor． “My goodness Andre!” I said． His hand seized the big nose, moving it away from the tube of the motor, guiding the shark's head up as it rose out of the water． Andre's hand held the nose, touching it gently． No one spoke． No one breathed． The moment seemed endless． In fact,

　　it lasted less than five seconds before Andre pulled his hand back．

　　Still nobody spoke． Then Andre smiled and said:

　　"The first time was an accident． I was just trying to move the shark away from the motor． Sharks are attracted to motors by their electrical signals and have a habit of biting them to see if they are eatable． " Andre has worked with great white sharks for years． "My hand landed on its nose, and it sort of paused, so I kept it there, and when I did let go, the shark bit and bit as if it was searching for whatever it was that had attracted it．"

　　Nearly every encounter （遭遇） we had had with the great whites had been totally illogical． The more we learned,

　　the more we realized how little was really known about them in the past years． Back then, it was generally accepted that great whites ate people by choice． Now we know that almost every attack on a human is an accident in which the shark mistakes a human for its normal food． Back then, we thought that once a great white smelt blood, it would lead to death． Now we know that nearly three-quarters of bite victims survive, perhaps because the shark recognizes that is has made a mistake and doesn't return for a second bite．

　　【文章解读】本文是夹叙夹议文阅读。该文章通过Andre和鲨鱼之间的故事告诉我们鲨鱼其实也是有灵性，爱护人类的。爱护一切生灵是作者深情的呼唤。

　　"My goodness! Andre ! " when

　　．

　　A．Andre was about to fall into the water

　　【答案】B

　　【命题立意】考查细节辨认题。

　　61．What does the author think of the encounters with great whites?

　　A． Exciting． B． Educational． C． Frightening D． Reasonable

　　【答案】B

　　【命题立意】考查判断推理题。

　　A． Exciting令人兴奋的；B． Educational有教育意义的；C． Frightening令人害怕的；D． Reasonable合情合理的。根据文章最后一段的The more we learned,

　　the more we realized how little was really known about them in the past years可知作者认为遭遇鲨鱼是很有教育意义的。故选B。

　　62． Most bite victims survive in shark attacks because

　　.

　　A． they are taught how to fight off sharks

　　B． sharks discover they are no threats

　　Etymology, the study of words and word roots, may sound like the kind of thing done by boring librarians in small, dusty rooms． Yet etymologists actually have a uniquely interesting job． They are in many ways just like archaeologists （考古学家） digging up the physical history of people and events． The special aspect of etymology is that it digs up history, so to speak, through the words and phrases that are left behind．

　　The English language, in particular,

　　is a great field to explore history through words As a language, English has an extraordinary number of words． This is partly due to its ability to

　　adapt foreign words so readily． For example, " English" words such as kindergarten （from German）, croissant （from French）, and cheetah （from Hindi） have become part of the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings． So English-language etymologists have a vast world of words to explore．

　　Another enjoyable thing about etymology for most word experts is solving word mysteries（谜）． No, etymologists do not go around solving murders, like the great detective Sherlock Holmes． What these word experts solve are mysterious origins of some of our most common words

　　One of the biggest questions English language experts have pursued is how English came to have the phrase OK． Though it is one of the most commonly used expressions, its exact beginning is a puzzle even to this day． Even its spelling is not entirely consistent-unless you spell it Okay, it is hard even to call it a word．

　　Etymologists have been able to narrow OK’s origin down to a likely, although not certain, source（来源）． It became widely used around the time of Martin Van Buren's run for president in 1840． His nickname was Old Kinderhook． What troubles word experts about this explanation is that the phrase appeared in some newspapers before Van Buren became well known． It is likely that Van Buren could be called its primary source Etymologists will doubtlessly keep searching for the initial source． However, it is clear that OK’s popularity and reputation have topped those of the American president to whom it has been most clearly linked．

　　【文章解读】本文是语言知识文章阅读。本文主要告诉我们英语单词或词根给人们带来学习语言的快乐。

　　63． The author mentions the words like "croissant" in Paragraph 2 to indicate

　　．

　　A． words have changed a lot in the two languages

　　B． what English-language etymologists are exploring now

　　C． English has absorbed many words from other foreign languages

　　D． the English vocabulary is difficult to the non-English-speaking people

　　【答案】C

　　【命题立意】考查词义推测题。

　　A在两种语言中话语已经改变了很多；B现在英文词源学者正在开发的东西；C英语已经引进了许多的外来语言的单词；D对于不说英语的人们英语词汇很难。根据文章的第二段的have become part of the language with little or no change from their original sounds and spellings可知英语已经引进了太多的外来词。故选C。

　　64．The underlined word "pursued" in Paragraph 4 means

　　．

　　A． looked upon

　　B． dug up

　　C． put in

　　D． set down

　　【答案】B

　　【命题立意】考查词义推测题。

　　A． looked upon看作；B． dug up挖掘；C． put in插进；D． set down放下。

　　根据One of the biggest questions English language experts语言专家挖掘的最大问题之一是。故选B。

　　65． We can learn from the passage that etymologists

　　．

　　A． discover the possible origin of words

　　B． help detectives to solve mysterious murders

　　C． write interesting stories for some newspapers

　　D． explore the English language as well as the recent events

　　【答案】A

　　【命题立意】考查判断推理题。

　　根据文章最后一段的第一句话Etymologists have been able to narrow OK’s origin down to a likely, although not certain, source和文章的第一句话Etymology, the study of words and word roots, may sound like the kind of thing done by boring librarians in small, dusty rooms可知语言学家就是发现词汇的来源。故选A。

　　66． What is the main purpose of the passage?

　　It is easy to lose patience with science today． The questions are pressing: How dangerous is air pollution? What about low-level radiation? When will that horrible earthquake strike California? And why can't we predict weather better? But the evidence is often described as "uncertain", forcing scientists to base their points of view almost as much on intuition（直觉）as on science．

　　When historians and philosophers of science listen to these questions, some conclude that science may not be able to solve all these problems any time soon． The unknowns can grow into riddles that are impossible to solve． Because of the unstable and changing state of the earth's atmosphere, for example, scientists have struggled for centuries to predict the weather with precision（精确） but failed．

　　The case is different for scientists of astronomy． For example, they think that the gravitational force of a nearby space vehicle, though tiny, is able to change the path of a much larger planet if the vehicle spends enough time close to it． With the aid of Newton's laws of gravitational attraction, ground controllers can predict the path of a planetary probe （探测仪）-or satellite-with incredible accuracy． They do this by calculating the gravitational force from each of the passing planets until the probe speeds beyond the edge of the solar system．A much more difficult task is to calculate what happens when two or three times of such force pull on the probe at the same time． Such procedures can, of course, be very difficult, but for experiments, they are effective．

　　This range of questions-from simple problems to those impossibly complex-has resulted in nicknames for various fields of study: "soft" sciences and

　　" hard "

　　sciences．“Soft” sciences admit a great degree of uncertainty． Academicians tend to judge fields such as sociology, psychology, and political science as “soft” because they are assumed to be understandable, of unnecessary mathematical accuracy, and concerned with everyday affairs such as interpersonal relationships． However, "hard" sciences, such as astronomy and chemistry, are said to offer precise answers． Precise definitions for "hard" sciences vary, but the characteristics of "hard" sciences include: producing testable predictions; performing controlled experiments; relying on quantifiable data and mathematical models; a high degree of accuracy and objectivity; and generally applying a pure form of the scientific method
