12、理解Brazil is a federation that consists of twenty-six states and one federal district. The biggest majority of Brazil 'pospulation belongs to the Christian religion and almost all of them are Catholics. This is something Brazil inherited（ 繼承）being Portugal ' s 殖民ny（）.Historically, the country

13、 was a colony claimed by people from Portugal and this made Portuguese the official language. The Portuguese reached Brazil in 1500 and until that moment it was inhabited by semi-nomadic（ 半游牧的 ） people. The Portuguese changed Brazil into a country of slaves until 1800, when Maria I of Portugal came

14、to live in Brazil. The Queen did not stay long in Brazil, but during the 20 years of royal presence a lot of changes occurred: commercial ports to United Kingdom were opened; Brazil stopped being isolated（ 孤立） from other countries. So at the moment of getting the independence on the 7th of September

15、, 1822, Brazil already had the potential to develop. The Brazilian Empire, Pedro I, abolished slavery in 1888 in the face of Princess Isabel. A lot of European people started coming to Brazil and the industry of the country started working. In the 19th and the 20th century as it has been said above

16、foreign people immigrated（ 移民 ） to Brazil and basically 5 million European and Japanese people became theresidents of Brazil. The beginning of the 20th century was especially marked by the immigration of a lot of Asian people: Japanese, Korean and Chinese immigrants. As a matter of fact Japanese peo

17、ple do not immigrate a lot, and the fact that the Brazilian-Japanese people are the largest Japanese minority in the world does astonish greatly.The majority of the cultural inherits of Brazil are actually Portuguese, due to the fact that Brazil was Portugal' s colony for a very long time. The s

18、outhern states mainly consist of Europeanpopulation and the north and the northeast consist of a mixed population including Africans, Amerindians and Europeans. Most of this population is Roman Catholic. No other country in the world has the same amount of Catholics. The modern tendency of Brazil is

19、 the growing number of people calling themselves Protestants. Around 7.4% of the population don ' bt elieve any god. Some Brazilians, especially in the northern states are mixed Africans who prefer following the traditional African religions. Only 1.8% of the population chose Buddhism, Islam or

20、Judaism. Though Brazil always tried to maintain democracy, it was failed several times by the dictatorship （獨(dú)裁） of Getulo V argas. This fact could not affect the political situation in the country.21 Brazil was ruled by Portuguese about D. 328 yearsD. political situationD. mixed cultureA. 22 yearsB.

23、。 根據(jù)第 2 段 The Portuguese reached Brazil in 1500 以及 So at the moment of getting the independence on the 7th of September, 1822, 可知葡萄牙人統(tǒng)治了巴西大約 322 年。 91 B 總結(jié)歸納題，本文講述了巴西的發(fā)展歷程，從奴隸制，被葡萄牙所統(tǒng)治，再到獨(dú)立， 以及以后的發(fā)展，以及巴西的人口，文化等。文章主要講述的是巴西的歷史，故 B 正確。92 A 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段 during the 20 years of royal presence a lot of change

24、s occurred: commercial ports to United Kingdom were opened; Brazil stopped being isolated（ 孤立 ） from other countries. 可知在 Maria 統(tǒng)治期間巴西不再孤立， 而是與其他國家有了很強(qiáng)的聯(lián)系。 故 A 錯(cuò)誤。93D 推理題。根據(jù) 2,3 段可知在巴西有很多歐洲，亞洲的移民，所以它是一個(gè)多元文化的 國家。Violent winds swept the ocean, and waves thundered to shore, shaking the lookout tower at

25、 Pea Isla nd Rescue Stati on. Surfma n Theodore Meek ins was on watch that evening of 11 October 1896. A hurricane had struck the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and the tide was so strong that beach patrols（巡邏）had bee n can celed. Still, Meek ins paid close atte nti on to the horiz on. This was the

26、type of weather that could blow ships hun dreds of miles off course.Offshore, the ship E.S. Newman was caught in the storm. The captain, whose wife and child were on the ship, feared the Newma n would soon break up. He made the decisi on to beach his ship, then fired a sig nal, pray ing that some on

27、e on shore would see it.Meek ins, whose eyes were trained to cut through rain and surf mists, thought he saw the sig nal, but so much spray （水霧）covered the lookout windows that he could hardly make sure. Still, he took no cha nces. After sum moning （召集）the stati on keeper, Capta in Richard Etheridge

28、, Meek ins set off a cost on sig nal, a sig nal made by using lamps of differe nt colors. Together, the two men searched the dark ness for a reply. A few mome nts later, they saw a flash of light to the south and knew a shop was in distress （遇險(xiǎn)）.Even before the return signal burned out, Etheridge ha

29、d sum moned his men and begu n rescue operati ons.For the lifesavers, the rescue of the Newma n was nothing unu sual. Over the years, so many ships had foundered off the Outer Banks that sailors called the region the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Noting the dangerous surf and wind conditions, Captain E

30、theridge quickly decided the surf boats would be impossible to con trol. In stead, he decided to use ano ther way to help the survivors.The crew set off on the long journey down the beach to the scene of the wreck （ 海灘）.Captain Etheridge hoped to fire a line from a gun to the ship舟占桅）.After snmabtp（

31、' s crew draggedthe line on board, the surfme n would fire a sec ond line and carry survivors safely to shore.The surfme n crossed three miles of sand to reach the ship Newma n. The water was freez ing, and the men ofte n sank up to their kn ees in sand. Capta in Etheridge no ted in his diary th

The work was often stopped by the sweeping curre nt.IIEven whe n the rescue equipme nt proved useless, Etheridge refused to give up. Choos ing two of his str

33、on gest surfme n, he tied rope lines around their waists and sent them into the water. The two men, holding a line from shore, walked with huge effort as far as they could before diving through the waves. Nearly worn out while swimmi ng aga inst the tide, they fin ally made it to the shore.The first

34、 to be rescued were the captain' s wife and child. With the two passengers tied to theirbacks, the surfme n fought their way back to shore. Taking tur ns, Etheridge and his crew made ten trips to the Newma n, sav ing every pers on on board. It was 1:00 a.m. whe n the crew and survivors fin ally

35、made it back to the stati on.That night, as the exhausted survivors lay sleeping and his lifesaving crew rested, Captain Etheridge picked up his pen, and in the light of an oil lantern, wrote with satisfaction that all the people on board had bee n saved and were sheltered in this station he would r

41、解的目的。 如果說精讀是點(diǎn)，泛 讀即是面。只有通過大量閱讀，才能積累大量詞匯和句型，才能擴(kuò)大知識(shí)面，培養(yǎng)語感，提 高對(duì)英語文字的反應(yīng)能力。在閱讀時(shí)，要多積累英、美等國家的社會(huì)、歷史、地理、文化及 風(fēng)俗方面的知識(shí)，這有利于提高閱讀水平。CIn wilderness荒野 ） is the preservation of the world.II This is a famous saying from a writerregarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed

42、 mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people valu

43、e mostdearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images un touched is strong, and the dan ger exploitation（開發(fā)）brings to such Iandscapes景觀）is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that huma ns n eed the rain forests, for example, store carb on in vast qua ntities. To Mr.Sauven, t

44、hese II ecosystem services II far outweigh the gains from exploitation.Lee Lane, a visit ing fellow at the Huds on In stitute, takes the oppos ing view. He ack no wledges that wilder nesses do provide useful services, such as water con servati on. But that is not, he argues, a reas on to avoid all h

45、uma n prese nee, or in deed commercial and in dustrial exploitati on. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reas on ably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for

46、raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reduci ng the services those wilder nesses provide, the argume nt goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look for

47、wards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participa nts. One challe nge that suggests itself to me is that both cases n eed to take on the questi on of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can

48、 be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expressi on of feeli ngs, but also the guida nee of reas on. What positi on wilder ness should enjoy in the preservati on of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.29. John Sauven holds that.A. many people value

49、 n ature too muchB. exploitati on of wilder nesses is harmfulC. wilder nesses provide huma ns with n ecessitiesD. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong30. What is the main idea of Para. 3?A. The exploitati on is n ecessary for the poor people.B. Wilder nesses cannot guara ntee better

50、use of raw materials.C. Useful services of wilder nesses are not the reas on for no exploitatio n.D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.31. What is the author ' s attitude towards this debate?A.D. Optimistic.B.C.f c JD.f pi J1 ifj 'jA. Objective.B.

53、故 A 正確。75D 篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。文章第一段是主題段，2，3兩段是要點(diǎn)，接在第 4 段是次要點(diǎn)，最后一段提出了結(jié)論。這是一個(gè)總分總的結(jié)構(gòu)類型，故 D 正確?？键c(diǎn)：考查人生百味類短文閱讀 點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文的難度不算大，可以先看題目，再看文章。分析每一段的中心思想，如68 題，同時(shí)也要注意篇章結(jié)構(gòu)和作者的觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度。Deeision-making under StressA new review based on a researeh shows that aeute stress affeets the way the brain eonsiders the advantages and disadva

54、ntages, eausing it to foeus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative （ 負(fù) 面的 ） eonsequenees of a deeision.The researeh suggests that stress may ehange the way people make ehoiees in predietable ways.Stress affects how people learn,II says Professor Mara Mather. People learn better about positthan

55、 n egative outcomes un der stress.IIFor example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images（ 影像 ） with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audien

56、ce; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn 't gone through the stress.This phenomenon is likely not surpri

57、sing to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smok ing a cigarette while un der stress -at those mome nts, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.The research also found that stress appears to affect de
