　　The most frightening words in the English language are, "Our computer is down. " You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, "I m sorry, I can t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down. "

　　"If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket. "

　　"I can t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so. "

　　I looked down on the computer and every passenger .was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all you people do?"

　　"We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not. "

　　"So when it goes down, you go down with it. "

　　"That s good, sir. "

　　"How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.

　　"I have no idea. Sometimes it s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it s down it won t answer us. "

　　After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said. "Let s forget the computer. What about your planes? They re still flying, arent they?"

　　"I couldnt tell without asking the computer. "

　　"Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he s flying to Washington," I suggested.

　　"I wouldnt know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldnt take you if you didnt have a ticket. "

　　"Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?"

　　"I wouldnt know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only IT knows. It can t tell me. "

　　By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white; some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

　　31. The best title for the article is

　　A. When the Computer Is Down

　　B. The Most Frightening Words

　　C. The Computer of the Airport

　　D. Asking the Computer

　　B. She could write out a ticket.

　　C. She could answer the passengers questions.

　　D. She could do nothing.

　　33. why do you think they had not a backup computer?

　　A. Because it was easy down.

　　B. Because it was very expensive.

　　C. Because it was not advanced enough.

　　参考译文

　　坐着飞机飞过一片戈壁之地，两位迷信家用操练有素的眼睛察看上面的树木和灌木丛。颠末大抵一小时的飞翔察看后，此中一名迷信家在他的本子上写下如许一句话“看这里能够有金属矿藏。”另外一架飞机上的迷信家们正飞过一座山区。他们给空中察看站的迷信家们发了“能够有金矿”的信息。步辇儿超出山地，四名迷信家得出报告：“应当在此地寻觅金属矿藏”。从飞过多山丘的荒漠的飞机上，一名迷信家用无线电发还一个字：“铀”。

　　不一个迷信家具备x射线那样的眼睛：他们并不看破地球外表的魔力。他们仅仅利用了一个最新的手艺来定位公开的矿藏…树木和植被长在地上，经由过程他们能显现出某种埋藏在公开的矿物。

　　这项最新的寻觅矿藏的手艺是按照如许一个现实，即处在公开的矿物会影响到空中上灌木和树木的发展。

　　沃森巴溪是加拿大英属哥伦比亚一座6，000英尺的山上的一条小溪。一队矿藏搜刮小组搜集了良多包树木的种子;盒子里盛满了小树枝。树根也被挖掉放进盒子里。每一个包和盒子都被细心标记了。在迷信尝试室内，树枝被烧成灰而后做检测。查抄每一个藐小的局部是不是含有矿藏。

　　对树根、树枝和种子的检测并没发明银元素，但却在树根部发了然局部金元素，同时在树枝和种子中也发了然较少的金元素。长在最靠近树干上的种子要比长在树枝根部的种子含金元素多一些。

　　谜底及剖析

　　26.D【剖析】语义懂得题。按照文章第一段的内容提到各类金属，而这些金属元素是包罗在矿(mineral)里的。故本题挑选D。

　　27.c【剖析】细节题。从文中最初一句“The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunks had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.”(长在最靠近树干上的种子比长在树枝根部的种子要含有更多的金元素)可知谜底。故本题挑选c。

　　28.D【剖析】大旨题。通读全文可知文章的大局部(第二至五段)都在报告经由过程动物来寻觅矿藏。故本题挑选D。

　　29.A【剖析】细节题。从最初一段可知，经由过程研讨roots，branches和 seeds可鉴定公开是不是有矿产，而leaves在文章中却不提到。故本题挑选A。

　　30.D【剖析】细节题。从文章第一段的第一句“two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes”(两位迷信家用受过操练的眼睛察看树木和灌木)可知谜底。故本题挑选D。

　　Text 2

　　参考译文

　　英语中最使人惊骇的句子是：“咱们的电脑宕机了。”在出差的时辰，如许的动静你听到的愈来愈多。头几天我在机场列队买去华盛顿的票。售票窗口的女孩说：“对不起，咱们此刻不能卖票。咱们的电脑宕机了。”“若是电脑坏了，你就给我填一张票吧。”

　　“我没法给你填票。咱们只能用电脑出票。”

　　我看着那台电脑。搭客们都站在那边，喝着咖啡，盯着那已黑了的屏幕。而后我问她：“你们这些人都是干甚么的?”

　　“咱们把你旅途的信息输出电脑，而后它就会显现是不是有适合你的航班。”

　　“以是若是电脑宕机了，你们就甚么都不能干了。”

　　“是的。师长教师。”

　　“电脑宕机要延续多久?”我问道。

　　“我不清晰。偶然非常钟，偶然两个小时。若是不Pl电脑咱们甚么信息都不晓得。既然此刻它宕机了，它就不会回应咱们了。”

　　从女孩那边得悉不备用电脑后，我说：“咱们先别管电脑这事。你们的飞机呢?它们还在飞，是吗?”

　　“不电脑，我就没法回覆你。”

　　“或许我能够去大门那问飞翔员是不是要飞往华盛顿。”我表现道。

　　“我不晓得让你去哪一个门找他。即便飞翔员飞往华盛顿，若是不机票.他也不会让你登机。”

　　“接上去的几个小时另有其余去华盛顿的航班吗?”

　　“我没法回覆你，”她说着，趁便指指那黑了的屏幕，“只要‘它晓得.而它此刻没法告知我。”

　　此刻已没几多人列队了。电脑宕机的动静敏捷传到了其余观光者那边。一些人惊得脸都白了，有一些人起头大呼，另有一些人愤慨地踢他们的行李。

　　谜底及剖析

　　31.A【剖析】大旨题。按照文章第一句中的“0ur computer is down”(咱们的电脑宕机了)及前面的文章对于机场电脑宕机后的一些对话内容可知，文章首要报告的是机场电脑宕机后产生的一些任务，故本题挑选A。

　　32.D【剖析】细节题。按照文章中的对话“When it[computer]goes down.you go down with it.”(若电脑宕机了，你们也任务不了了。)可知，机场售票员甚么都不能做。故本题挑选D。

　　33.B【剖析】客观题。不备用电脑，最有能够是由于装备比拟贵。故本题挑选B。

　　34.C【剖析】揣度题。按照文章最初一段的描述：电脑死机，搭客们感应惊骇、郁闷、不安，故本题挑选C。

　　35.B 【剖析】细节题。文中第四段第一句“every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen.”(搭客们站在那边，喝着咖啡，眼睛盯着阿谁黑掉了的屏幕)。故本题挑选B。

　　Pepys and his wife Jane had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2nd, 1666. They were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow(微小的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 oclock on the Sunday moning, its glow had become so bright that Jane woke her husband to watch .it. Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown and went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, and after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked, though the fire was dying down, as though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them.

　　While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard the fire was a bad one; hundreds of houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed upon a high part of the build- ing so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The man of the Tower told him that the fire had started in a bakers shop in Pudding Lane(冷巷) ; the bakers house had caught fire from the over-beated oven(烤箱)and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, as it is said, at Pie Corner.

　　27. What is the passage about?

　　A. The Great Fire of London.

　　B. Who was the first to discover the fire.

　　C. What Pepys was doing during the fire.

　　D. The losses caused by the fire.

　　28.They were up very late because______.

　　A. it was Sunday morning

　　B. they were not very sleepy

　　C. they were preparing for the dinner

　　D. they saw the great fire start

　　29. In the sentence" Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown. "" slip on" means________.

　　A. to be wearing

　　B. to be pushing

　　C.to take off

　　D.to put on

　　30. Why did the flames spread quickly?

　　A. The oven became very hot.

　　B. The houses were close together.

　　C. The baker did nothing to stop it.

　　D. The bakers house was burning quickly.

　　Text 3

　　篇章阐发

　　本文是一篇记述文，报告了l666年在伦敦产生的一场大火。文章从一对佳耦Pepys和Jane的履历写这场大火。由于这对佳耦家离大火产生处很远，是以起头时只能看到微小的火光。第二天早上老婆Jane告知丈夫产生了大火，并且销毁了良多屋子.而大火还在熄灭。Pepys因而找一个高点张望，看到良多屋子被销毁。大火是由一个面包师的烤箱动怒引发的0t

　　谜底及剖析

　　27.A

　　【题型】大旨题

　　【剖析】经由过程对文章的阐发，可知本文记述了伦敦的大火。而B、C、D三项文中只是提到，而非文章大旨，故不能挑选。

　　28.C

　　【题型】细节题

　　【剖析】题干问“他们早晨待到很晚是为了_______”。由第一段第二句They were up very late on the Saturday evening，getting everything readyfor the next day…可知是为第二天的宴会做筹办。

　　29.D

　　【题型】语义题

　　【剖析】由下文…and went to the window to watch it.可知要去窗户那边看火光，要穿上寝衣才行。to be wearing表现穿戴的状况;to takeoff“脱下”;to be pushing“正在推”，均不合适文义。

　　30.B

　　【题型】揣度题

　　【剖析】题干问“大火为甚么敏捷舒展?”由文章第二段倒数第二句…and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrowlane.中的“narrow lane”可推知，这是一个狭小的冷巷，屋子必然挨得很紧。

　　天下英语品级测验试题

　　Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’

　　The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.

　　Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.

　　We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!

　　Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch, match and dispatch’ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘agony’ column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!

　　1. What is main idea of this passage?

　　A. Advertisement.

　　B. The benefits of advertisement.

　　C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.

　　D. The costs of advertisement.

　　2. The attitude of the author toward advertisers is

　　A. appreciative.

　　B. trustworthy.

　　C. critical.

　　D. dissatisfactory.

　　3. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?

　　A. Because advertisers often brag.

　　B. Because critics think advertisement is a “waste of money”.

　　C. Because customers are encouraged to buy more than necessary.

　　D. Because customers pay more.

　　4. Which of the following is Not True?

　　A. Advertisement makes contribution to our pockets and we may know everything.

　　B. We can buy what we want.

　　C. Good quality products don’t need to be advertised.

　　D. Advertisement makes our life colorful.

　　5. The passage is

　　A. Narration.

　　B. Description.

　　C. Criticism.

　　D. Argumentation.

　　Vocabulary

　　1.come in for ( sth. ) 是某事物的工具，接收(某事物)，取得

　　2.flair 资质，天禀

　　3.escalator 极险恶的，极不公道的

　　4.drab 枯燥的，风趣的

　　5.subsist 活下去，保存下去，保持下去

　　6.hatch 孵化(指生孩子)

　　7.match 婚配，婚姻

　　8.dispatch 调派，发送

　　9.El Dorado 极大疾苦，煎熬

　　10.agony column (报刊中对于小我疑问题目咨询定见的)

　　难句译注

　　1.Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism.

　　【参考译文】告白商老是大志勃勃(想得很大)，或许这便是为甚么他们老挨攻讦。

　　2.Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion.

　　【参考译文】他们的攻讦者仿佛对他们很愤恚，由于他们在自我举高/标榜上很有天禀。

　　3.No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offer such deep insight into human nature.

　　【参考译文】报纸任何其余栏目都难以供给如斯风趣的文章，或供给对人道的内在如斯深入的洞察。

　　4.It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is.

　　【参考译文】这是告白中最好的告白。

　　写作方式与文章粗心

　　文章以因果、对照的手段写出有不告白的效果及告白的真正感化。文章起首指出告白商遭攻讦的缘由：告白商强调和人们以为告白华侈财帛、商品价钱就搞;而后作者以有无告白的效果凸起其功效，不告白，商品价更高，糊口枯燥、风趣。有了告白，商品价低，糊口丰硕多彩，人们获得各类信息。

　　谜底详解

　　1.C. 告白对社会的办事很有效。作者从三方面来论述告白感化：第二段点出若是告白不为产物斥地泛博的市场，咱们就得支出良多钱，恰是由于大批的告白用度，花费者的商品才会那末自制。告白除发卖商品外，其首要的功效在告知/告知信息，有关家用商品的良多只是来自告白，另有新产物的先容。第三段讲了丑化情况功效。若是火车站的墙上和报上不告白，那会怎样样。一幅悦民气目，机灵的告白将转变统统。第四段讲了它为咱们省钱：别忘了告白对咱们口袋作出主动的进献。报纸、电台、电视台公司不这笔支出很难保存。咱们的报纸，咱们付给很少，或说，咱们能享用那末多的节目完整是由于告白商花的钱。若是要咱们付报纸的全价，那咱们要花几多钱!最初一段讲了各类专栏的功效。人们能够在这些栏目找任务、生意屋子、颁布发表婚丧嫁娶信息。这些都围着一个中间：告白对社会办事的有效性。

　　A. 告白。太抽象。

　　B. 告白之长处。文章不是讲长处，而是讲办事于社会的功效。

　　D. 告白用度。

　　2.A. 赏识/赞美。从上述正文也可推知是A项。最首要的，作者提出各种功效，是为了辩驳第一段内提到的论点：完整长短出产企业每一年接收几百万镑，这申明这些至公司利润有多高。最首要的是花费者付的告白费等。辩驳更申了然A项对。

　　B. 值得信赖。

　　C. 攻讦。

　　D. 不对劲。

　　3.A. 由于告白商经常爱吹。见难句译注1.。

　　B. 由于攻讦者以为告白华侈钱。

　　C. 由于告白促使花费者采办不用要的工具。

　　D. 由于花费者付出更多。

　　4. C. 优良产物不须要告白。统统产物都须要告白，新产物、老产物都须要。
