【范例一】
In spite of “endless talk of difference,” American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people.
There is “the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of deference”
characteristic of popular culture. …. Instead of intimate shops catering to knowledgeable elite,” these were
stores “anyone could enter, regardless of class or background. This turned shopping into a public and
democratic act.” The mass media, advertising and sport are other forces for homogenization.
Rodriguez notes that …, yet “some Americans … to the nation’s assimilative power.”
21. The word “homogenizing” (Line 2,łParagraph 1)most probably means _______.
[A] identifying
[B] associating
[C] assimilating
[D] monopolizing
【范例二】
Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into
the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William
Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a
negative connotation.
21. The view of Wordsworth habit is claimed by being ______.
[A] casual
[B] familiar
[C] mechanical
[D] changeable
【范例三】
In the early 1960s Wilt Chamberlain was one of only three players in the National Basketball Association
(NBA) listed at over seven feet. If he had played last season, however, he would have been one of 42. The
bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years, and managers have been
more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growing numbers of bigger, longer frames.
The trend in sports, though, may be obscuring an unrecognized reality: Americans have generally
-2-
stopped growing. …
31. Wilt Chamberlain is cited as an example to ____.
[A] illustrate the change of height of NBA players.
[B] show the popularity of NBA players in the U.S..
[C] compare different generations of NBA players.
[D] assess the achievements of famous NBA players.
【范例四】
…. Railroads typically charge such “captive” shippers 20 to 30 percent more than they do when another
railroad is competing for the business. Shippers who feel they are being overcharged have the right to appeal
to the federal government’s Surface Transportation Board for rate relief, but the process is expensive, time
consuming, and will work only in truly extreme cases.
53. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that ________.
[A] shippers will be charged less without a rival railroad
[B] there will soon be only one railroad company nationwide
[C] overcharged shippers are unlikely to appeal for rate relief
[D] a government board ensures fair play in railway business

In 1784, five years before he became president of the United States, George Washington, 52, was nearly
toothless. So he hired a dentist to transplant nine teeth into his jaw - having extracted them from the months of
his slaves.
That’s far different image from the cherry-tree-chopping George most people remember from their
history books……
36. George Washington’s dental surgery is mentioned to ___.
[A] show the primitive medical practice in the past.
[B] demonstrate the cruelty of slavery in his days.
[C] stress the role of slaves in the U.S. history.
[D] reveal some unknown aspect of his life.
【范例六】
Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying a wide range of pursuits, including soccer.
Their work makes a rather startling assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. Or put
another way, expert performers – whether in memory or surgery, ballet or computer programming – are nearly
always made, not born.
24. Ericsson and his colleagues believe that ____.
[A] talent is a dominating factor for professional success
[B] biographical data provide the key to excellent performance
[C] the role of talent tend to be overlooked
[D] high achievers owe their success mostly to nurture
【范例七】
Supporters of the new super systems argue that these mergers will allow for substantial cost reductions
-3-
and better coordinated service. Any threat of monopoly, they argue, is removed by fierce competition from
trucks. But many shippers complain that … and the railroads therefore have them by the throat.
51.According to those who support mergers, railway monopoly is unlikely because ________.
[A] cost reduction is based on competition
[B] services call for cross-trade coordination
[C] outside competitors will continue to exist
[D] shippers will have the railway by the throat
【范例八】
In just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to work, transforming basic family economics.
Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few
have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well. Today’s families …. As a result, they have lost the
parachute they once had in times of financial setback – ….
31.Today’s double-income families are at greater financial risk in that ___.
[A] the safety net they used to enjoy has disappeared
[B] their chances of being laid off have greatly increased
[C] they are more vulnerable to changes in family economics
[D] they are deprived of unemployment or disability insurance
【范例九】
In the early 1960s Wilt Chamberlain was one of the only three players in the National Basketball
Association (NBA) listed at over seven feet. If he had played last season, however, he would have been one
of 42. The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years, and
managers have been more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growing numbers of bigger, longer
frames.
The trend in sports, though, may be obscuring an unrecognized reality: Americans have generally
stopped growing. Though typically about two inches taller now than 140 years ago, today’s
people—especially those born to families who have lived in the U.S. for many generations—apparently
reached their limit in the early 1960s. And they aren’t likely to get any taller. “In the general population
today, at this genetic, environmental level, we’ve pretty much gone as far as we can go,” says
anthropologist William Cameron Chumlea of Wright State University. In the case of NBA players, their
increase in height appears to result from the increasingly common practice of recruiting players from all
over the world.
Growth, which rarely continues beyond the age of 20, demands calories and nutrients—notably,
protein—to feed expanding tissues. At the start of the 20th century, under-nutrition and childhood infections
got in the way. But as diet and health improved, children and adolescents have, on average, increased in
height by about an inch and a half every 20 years, a pattern known as the secular trend in height. Yet
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, average height—5'9" for men, 5'4" for
women—hasn’t really changed since 1960. Earlier maturation, increased life span and shifting demographics
prevent overall trends in adults from matching those in children and adolescents.
Genetically speaking, there are advantages to avoiding substantial height. During childbirth, larger
babies have more difficulty passing through the birth canal. Moreover, even though humans have been
upright for millions of years, our feet and back continue to struggle with bipedal posture and cannot easily
withstand repeated strain imposed by oversize limbs. “There are some real constraints that are set by the
-4-
genetic architecture of the individual organism,” says anthropologist William Leonard of Northwestern
University.
Of course, to the human psyche, taller is often better. Popular figures ranging from athletes to fashion
models to presidents are, for the most part, several inches taller than average. (Of the past 13 presidential
elections, the taller candidate has won 10 times, the most recent exception being George W. Bush.) But this
small group confuses the larger picture. In the case of NBA players, their increase in height appears to result
from the increasingly common practice of recruiting players from all over the world. Indeed, almost half of all
NBA players listed at over seven feet were born outside the U.S. Thus, it doesn't mean there are more
seven-footers now than there were 40 years ago; rather, thanks to television, they are simply more noticeable,
says Robert M. Malina, editor in chief of the American Journal of Human Biology.
Perhaps further clouding the fact that most Americans' height has remained stable of late are immigrants
from countries where the growing environment has not improved as much as in the U.S. In these regions, the
trend in growth has been much slower to start, nonexistent or, in cases of extreme malnourishment, even
reversed. But when families move to the U.S., their children--exposed to hamburgers, hot dogs and other
calorie-rich local fare--grow up to be a bit taller than their parents.
Genetic maximums can change, but don’t expect this to happen soon. Claire C. Gordon, senior
anthropologist at the Army Research Center in Natick, Mass., ensures that 90 percent of the uniforms and
workstations fit recruits without alteration. She says that, unlike those for basketball, the length of military
uniforms has not changed for some time. And if you need to predict human height in the near future to
design a piece of equipment, Gordon says that by and large, “you could use today's data and feel fairly
confident.”

While still catching up to men in some spheres of modern life, women appear to be way ahead in at
least one undesirable category. “Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety
disorders in response to stress compared to men,” according to Dr. Yehuda, chief psychiatrist at New York’s
Veteran’s Administration Hospital.
Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response,
causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same
conditions. In several of the studies, when stressed-out female rats had their ovaries (the female
reproductive organs) removed, their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.
Adding to a woman’s increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased “opportunities” for stress.
“It’s not necessarily that women don’t cope as well. It’s just that they have so much more to cope with,”
says Dr. Yehuda. “Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men’s,” she observes, “it’s
just that they’re dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and
sooner.”
Dr. Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes. “I think that the kinds of things that women are
exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature. Men go to war and are exposed to combat
stress. Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence. The kinds of interpersonal violence that
women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, parents or other family members,
and they tend not to be one-shot deals. The wear-and-tear that comes from these longer relationships can be
quite devastating.”
Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but was determined to finish college. “I
struggled a lot to get the college degree. I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape, to go to
school, and get ahead and do better.” Later, her marriage ended and she became a single mother. “It’s the
hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the car payment, and pay the debt. I
lived from paycheck to paycheck.”
Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses Alvarez describes. But most women
today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain. Alvarez’s experience
demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability
to function.
1. Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?
[A] Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress.
[B] Women are still suffering much stress caused by men.

[B] irregular and violent
[C] durable and frequent
[D] trivial and random
4. The sentence “I lived from paycheck to paycheck.” (Line 5, Para. 5) shows that .
[A] Alvarez cared about nothing but making money
[B] Alvarez’s salary barely covered her household expenses
[C] Alvarez got paychecks from different jobs

Also unclear is why Microsoft has gone it alone. After all, it has an ad business too, which it says will
comply with DNT requests, though it is still working out how. If it is trying to upset Google, which relies
almost wholly on advertising, it has chosen an indirect method: there is no guarantee that DNT by default will
become the norm. DNT does not seem an obviously huge selling point for Windows 8—though the firm has
compared some of its other products favorably with Google’s on that count before. Brendon Lynch,
Microsoft’s chief privacy officer, blogged: “we believe consumers should have more control.” Could it really
be that simple?
30. The author’s attitude towards what Brendon Lynch said in his blog is one of ___.
[A]appreciation
[B]understanding
[C]indulgence
[D]skepticism
【范例十二】
Advertisers are horrified. Human nature being what it is, most people stick with default settings. Few
switch DNT on now, but if tracking is off it will stay off. Bob Liodice says consumers will be worse off if the
industry cannot collect information about their preferences. People will not get fewer ads, he says. “They’ll
get less meaningful, less targeted ads.”
28. Bob Liodice holds that setting DNT as a default ____.
[A]goes against human nature
[B]fails to affect the ad industry
[C]will not benefit consumers
[D]may cut the number of junk ads

In recent years, railroads have been combining with each other, merging into super systems, causing
heightened concerns about monopoly. As recently as 1995, the top four railroads accounted for under 70
percent of the total ton-miles moved by rails. Next year, after a series of mergers is completed, just four
-7-
railroads will control well over 90 percent of all the freight moved by major rail carriers.
Supporters of the new super systems argue that these mergers will allow for substantial cost reductions and
better coordinated service. Any threat of monopoly, they argue, is removed by fierce competition from trucks.
But many shippers complain that for heavy bulk commodities traveling long distances, such as coal, chemicals,
and grain, trucking is too costly and the railroads therefore have them by the throat.
The vast consolidation within the rail industry means that most shippers are served by only one rail
company. Railroads typically charge such “captive” shippers 20 to 30 percent more than they do when another
railroad is competing for the business. Shippers who feel they are being overcharged have the right to appeal
to the federal government’s Surface Transportation Board for rate relief, but the process is expensive, time
consuming, and will work only in truly extreme cases.
Railroads justify rate discrimination against captive shippers on the grounds that in the long run it reduces
everyone’s cost. If railroads charged all customers the same average rate, they argue, shippers who have the
option of switching to trucks or other forms of transportation would do so, leaving remaining customers to
shoulder the cost of keeping up the line. It’s theory to which many economists subscribe, but in practice it
often leaves railroads in the position of determining which companies will flourish and which will fail. “Do
we really want railroads to be the arbiters of who wins and who loses in the marketplace?” asks Martin
Bercovici, a Washington lawyer who frequently represents shipper.
Many captive shippers also worry they will soon be hit with a round of huge rate increases. The railroad
industry as a whole, despite its brightening fortunes, still does not earn enough to cover the cost of the capital
it must invest to keep up with its surging traffic. Yet railroads continue to borrow billions to acquire one
another, with Wall Street cheering them on. Consider the $10.2 billion bid by Norfolk Southern and CSX to
acquire Conrail this year. Conrail’s net railway operating income in 1996 was just $427 million, less than half
of the carrying costs of the transaction. Who’s going to pay for the rest of the bill? Many captive shippers fear
that they will, as Norfolk Southern and CSX increase their grip on the market.
1. According to those who support mergers, railway monopoly is unlikely because ________.
[A] cost reduction is based on competition
[B] services call for cross-trade coordination
[C] outside competitors will continue to exist
[D] shippers will have the railway by the throat
2. What is many captive shippers’ attitude towards the consolidation in the rail industry?
[A] Indifferent.
[B] Supportive.
[C] Indignant.
[D] Apprehensive.
3. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that ________.
[A] shippers will be charged less without a rival railroad
[B] there will soon be only one railroad company nationwide
[C] overcharged shippers are unlikely to appeal for rate relief
[D] a government board ensures fair play in railway business
4. The word “arbiters” (line 7, paragraph 4) most probably refers to those ________.
[A] who work as coordinators
[B] who function as judges
[C] who supervise transactions
[D] who determine the price
-8-
5. According to the text, the cost increase in the rail industry is mainly caused by ________.
[A] the continuing acquisition
[B] the growing traffic
[C] the cheering Wall Street
[D] the shrinking market

If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006’s World Cup tournament, you
would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier
months of the year than in the late months. If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed
the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be ever more pronounced.
What might account for this strange phenomenon? Here are a few guesses: a) certain astrological signs
confer superior soccer skills; b) winter-born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity, which increases
soccer stamina; c) soccer-mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime, at the annual peak of
soccer mania; d) none of the above.
Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University, says he believes
strongly in “none of the above.” Ericsson grew up in Sweden, and studied nuclear engineering until he
realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if he switched to psychology. His first
experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved memory: training a person to hear and then repeat a random series
of numbers. “With the first subject, after about 20 hours of training, his digit span had risen from 7 to 20,”
Ericsson recalls. “He kept improving, and after about 200 hours of training he had risen to over 80 numbers.”
This success, coupled with later research showing that memory itself is not genetically determined, led
Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one. In other
words, whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize, those differences
are swamped by how well each person “encodes” the information. And the best way to learn how to encode
information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as deliberate practice. Deliberate
practice entails more than simply repeating a task. Rather, it involves setting specific goals, obtaining
immediate feedback and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.
Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits,
including soccer. They gather all the data they can, not just performance statistics and biographical details but
also the results of their own laboratory experiments with high achievers. Their work makes a rather startling
assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. Or, put another way, expert
performers—whether in memory or surgery, ballet or computer programming—are nearly always made, not
born.
1. The birthday phenomenon found among soccer players is mentioned to ________.
[A] stress the importance of professional training.
[B] spotlight the soccer superstars at the World Cup.
[C] introduce the topic of what makes expert performance.
[D] explain why some soccer teams play better than others.
2. The word “mania” (Line 4, Paragraph 2) most probably means ________.
[A] fun.
[B] craze.
[C] hysteria.
[D] excitement.
-9-
3. According to Ericsson, good memory ________.
[A] depends on meaningful processing of information.
[B] results from intuitive rather than cognitive exercises.
[C] is determined by genetic rather than psychological factors.
[D] requires immediate feedback and a high degree of concentration.
4. Ericsson and his colleagues believe that ________.
[A] talent is a dominating factor for professional success.
[B] biographical data provide the key to excellent performance.
[C] the role of talent tends to be overlooked.
[D] high achievers owe their success mostly to nurture.
5. Which of the following proverbs is closest to the message the text tries to convey?
[A] “Faith will move mountains.”
[B] “One reaps what one sows.”
[C] “Practice makes perfect.”
[D] “Like father, like son.”

Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one industry—William Shakespeare—but there are two
distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches. There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which
presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the
townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway’s
Cottage, Shakespeare’s birthplace and the other sights.
The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly
dislike the RSC’s actors, them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. It’s all deliciously
ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did
his share of noise-making.
The tourist streams are not entirely separate. The sightseers who come by bus—and often take in
Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side -- don’t usually see the plays, and some of them are even
surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However, the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their
playgoing. It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town’s revenue because they spend
the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can
take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.
The townsfolk don’t see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the
Royal Shakespeare Company. Stratford cries poor traditionally. Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be
adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be
decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and
will be very expensive.
Anyway, the townsfolk can’t understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy. (The
theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 percent
occupied all year long and this year they’ll do better.) The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and
ticket prices have stayed low.
It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are
Stratford’s most attractive clientele. They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. They all seem to look
alike (though they come from all over) —lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating
-10-
their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80
standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.
1. From the first two paragraphs, we learn that ________.
[A] the townsfolk deny the RSC’s contribution to the town’s revenue
[B] the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stage
[C] the two branches of the RSC are not on good terms
[D] the townsfolk earn little from tourism
2. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ________.
[A] the sightseers cannot visit the Castle and the Palace separately
[B] the playgoers spend more money than the sightseers
[C] the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoers
[D] the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater
3. By saying “Stratford cries poor traditionally” (Line 2-3, Paragraph 4), the author implies that
________.
[A] Stratford cannot afford the expansion projects
[B] Stratford has long been in financial difficulties
[C] the town is not really short of money
[D] the townsfolk used to be poorly paid
4. According to the townsfolk, the RSC deserves no subsidy because ________.
[A] ticket prices can be raised to cover the spending
[B] the company is financially ill-managed
[C] the behavior of the actors is not socially acceptable
[D] the theatre attendance is on the rise
5. From the text we can conclude that the author ________.
[A] is supportive of both sides
[B] favors the townsfolk’s view
[C] takes a detached attitude
[D] is sympathetic to the RSC

For the past several years, the Sunday newspaper supplement Parade has featured a column called “Ask
Marilyn.” People are invited to query Marilyn vos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of
someone about 23 years old; that gave her an IQ of 228 – the highest score ever recorded. IQ tests ask you to
complete verbal and visual analogies, to envision paper after it has been folded and cut, and to deduce
numerical sequences, among other similar tasks. So it is a bit confusing when vos Savant fields such queries
from the average Joe (whose IQ is 100) as, What’s the difference between love and fondness? Or what is the
nature of luck and coincidence? It’s not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out
numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers.
1. Which of the following may be required in an intelligent test?
[A] Answering philosophical questions.
[B] Folding or cutting paper into different shapes.
[C] Telling the difference between certain concepts.
[D] Choosing words or graphs similar to the given ones.
-11-
5. What is the author’s attitude towards IQ test?
[A] Supportive.
[B] Skeptical.
[C] Impartial.
[D] Biased.
