馬克找工作

讓?馬克十六歲時(shí)本來(lái)可以留在學(xué)校，但是未來(lái)令人興奮地呼喚他。''離

開(kāi)教室去工作吧”，它這樣說(shuō)，他也就服從了。他的父親支持他的決定，為他在

超市找到一份工作。他說(shuō)：“讓?zhuān)阏嫘疫\(yùn)，現(xiàn)在男孩子找工作不容易，十來(lái)個(gè)

人才能有一個(gè)人找到?！边@樣讓就參加了勞動(dòng)大軍，每周20鎊。

有一年時(shí)間他白天作食品罐頭的上架工作。到年底當(dāng)他回想學(xué)校生活時(shí)覺(jué)

7

得那是一段充滿多樣性和令人滿意的日子，他設(shè)法在工作中尋找趣味，但收效很

少。然而，星期五總是會(huì)來(lái)的，而且會(huì)得到他的工資；但是這個(gè)地方最讓他開(kāi)心

的事是在收款臺(tái)工作的朱娣。當(dāng)經(jīng)理不在時(shí)，他和所有女孩子關(guān)系都不錯(cuò)。她們

也喜歡他，而他并未察覺(jué)。

有一天很晴朗，他沒(méi)上班，而是搭上一個(gè)卡車(chē)去了南方。他口袋里裝著九

鎊錢(qián)，心中充滿對(duì)大海的渴望，就這樣上路去找自己的好日子。那天晚上，在伯

尼茅斯，他在一個(gè)老人和他的妻子開(kāi)的咖啡店吃了個(gè)三明治，并喝了飲料。他還

未吃完三明治，老太太就讓他在這個(gè)夏天為他們工作，每周20鎊，還提供樓上

住房和一日三餐。如此輕易和快地找到工作令他大吃一驚。在靜下來(lái)的時(shí)候，他

還要檢查老頭子所記下的帳。

夏季結(jié)束時(shí)，他仍留在海邊。他又一次感到驚奇的是一個(gè)17歲的男孩可

以竟然這樣爽快地自謀生活。他大都在商店工作，但有一次他在一個(gè)賓館工作了

三周。十月下旬他在一個(gè)患病的鞋店老板處工作，在這里還有一個(gè)婦女和兩個(gè)女

孩工作。他很快發(fā)現(xiàn)他成了那里的主管，因?yàn)樗俏ㄒ荒苡泿さ娜?。他和兩個(gè)女

孩同住一套店鋪樓上的公寓。這時(shí)他認(rèn)識(shí)到他身上有某種東西能讓所有年齡段的

婦女喜歡。他還不清楚，除了他讓人感到親切和幽默以及對(duì)她們的體貼以外，還

有什么讓她們喜歡的呢。

第21題:

IttookaboutayearforRontorealizethat.

A.heworkedwel1becausehewasinterestedinthejob.

B.hisworkatthesupermarketwasdull.

C.beingatworkwasmuchbetterthangoingtoschool.

D.thestoremanagerwantedtogetridofhim.

參考答案：B

答案解析：

B他在超市的工作很乏味。細(xì)節(jié)題。見(jiàn)2段3句。A和C與文相反，D文中未提

到。

第22題:

WhydidRonleavethesupermarket?

A.HeknewhewouldfindworkinBournemouth.

B.Hetookajobasalorrydriver.

C.Hegaveupthejobbecausehefeltunwe11.

D.Hewantedtoworkattheseaside.

參考答案：D

答案解析：

D他想在海邊工作。推理題第三段第二句表示他對(duì)海有很大的向往。其他各項(xiàng)有

很大迷惑性，其中許多詞都提到，但全句意思與文不符。如B,文中說(shuō)他搭上一

個(gè)卡車(chē)并非找到卡車(chē)司機(jī)的工作，C文中說(shuō)他放棄了工作但并非因?yàn)樯　?/p>

第23題：

A.hewassentupstairstoeathismeal.

B.hefoundhecoulddotheoldman，sarithmetic.

C.thewomantookthesandwichawayfromhim.

D.thewomanofferedhimajob.

參考答案：D

答案解析：

D那婦女給他一份工作。細(xì)節(jié)題，見(jiàn)2段4句其他各項(xiàng)都是部分詞形相同，但全

句意非。

第24題：

Sofarasemploymentwasconcerned,Ronexpected.

A.morehelpthanheactuallygot.

B.tobethemanagerofashop.

C.theproblemstobemuchharder.

D.thewintertobeaneasytime.

參考答案：C

答案解析：

C問(wèn)題難得多。屬推理題。從最后一段第二句看出，他對(duì)找到工作又一次感到驚

訝，說(shuō)明是出乎意外，而原先想得要難。A與文不符。B與D皆未提及。

第25題：

Ronwasabletotakeovertheshopbecause.

A.hegotonwellwiththewomenthere.

B.heunderstoodtheaccountsofthebusiness.

C.hehadexperienceofsellingbooks.

D.hehadaflataboveit.

參考答案：B

答案解析：

r他懂商業(yè)的賬目。細(xì)節(jié)題末段第五句說(shuō)到此意。A是迷惑項(xiàng)，文中雖提到他和

那里的女人們關(guān)系好，但他能主管商店的主要原因是他是唯一能管帳的人。C、D

項(xiàng)皆與文不符。

［聽(tīng)力原文］

航空工程

有兩件使航空工程感到艱難的事：需要讓每個(gè)部分盡可能可靠以及需要把

一切造得盡可能輕。因?yàn)轱w機(jī)在空中，一旦有故障無(wú)法停止，所以它的性能要絕

對(duì)可靠，這也許是與生死相關(guān)的事。

設(shè)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)的功率為定數(shù)，因此燃料耗量也為定數(shù)，那么能飛行的飛機(jī)的總

重量也有實(shí)際的限量。在這個(gè)重量中要有盡可能多的燃料，無(wú)線電航空儀器、乘

客坐椅、或貨艙，當(dāng)然還有乘客或貨物本身。因此，飛機(jī)結(jié)構(gòu)的體積和重量應(yīng)該

依據(jù)安全和效率的要求。設(shè)計(jì)者必須標(biāo)出每個(gè)部件所能承擔(dān)的負(fù)載。這種專(zhuān)家叫

作“應(yīng)力專(zhuān)家”。他列出所有可能在部件產(chǎn)生的不正常的應(yīng)力以預(yù)防制造、事故

損壞等情況下的誤差。

應(yīng)力專(zhuān)家的計(jì)算送到部件的設(shè)計(jì)師那里，他必須使部件的強(qiáng)度符合應(yīng)力專(zhuān)

10

家的要求?？偸且獪y(cè)試一兩個(gè)樣品以證實(shí)它們的強(qiáng)度和設(shè)計(jì)師所要求的一樣。先

測(cè)試每一個(gè)部件，然后整個(gè)集成件，如整個(gè)翼，最后整個(gè)飛機(jī)。當(dāng)制造新飛機(jī)時(shí)，

通常只有前三個(gè)中的一個(gè)去飛行。兩個(gè)將在結(jié)構(gòu)試驗(yàn)時(shí)在地上毀壞。第三個(gè)將在

空中測(cè)試。

有兩種地面強(qiáng)度測(cè)試。第一個(gè)是找出翼、尾等對(duì)負(fù)載的阻力，直到它們達(dá)

到它們最大的破壞和負(fù)載值。另一個(gè)是測(cè)試疲勞強(qiáng)度。較小的測(cè)試要進(jìn)行數(shù)千次。

一個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)經(jīng)受一次負(fù)載測(cè)試可能很好，但經(jīng)多次重復(fù)后就會(huì)破壞。一種測(cè)試是在

客艙進(jìn)行的。它充滿象在高空飛行時(shí)一樣的高壓空氣，在測(cè)試進(jìn)行時(shí)完全放入一

大水箱中，周?chē)乃畷?huì)保護(hù)客艙在出事時(shí)不會(huì)象炸彈一樣爆炸。

當(dāng)飛和通討所有這些測(cè)試時(shí)，它會(huì)得到政府的飛行證書(shū)。無(wú)此證飛行是非

法的，試飛例外。

第26題:

Thetwomainrequirementsofaircraftdesignare.

A.speedandcheapness

B.reliabilityandpassengercomfort

C.makingthingsbothlightanddependable

D.abilitytostayupintheairandavoidbreakdowns

參考答案：C

答案解析：

C使部件既輕又可靠。從首段1句可推出此答案。系推理細(xì)節(jié)題。與原文用詞有

異。但是異曲同工。A速度和便宜。B可靠性及旅客的舒適。D停在空中并可避

免破壞的能力。此三項(xiàng)皆為迷惑項(xiàng)。凡想當(dāng)然者必上當(dāng)。要在文中找出證據(jù)。

第27題:

Themaximumpossibleweightofanaircraftisdeterminedby.

A.theenginepower

B.theamountoffreightroom

C.thenumberofpassengers

D.internationalregulations

參考答案：A

答案解析：

A發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)功率。為推理題。從2段1句可推出此答案。由功率決定油耗量以飛機(jī)

總重量。B貨倉(cāng)量及C旅客人數(shù)都取決于A。D國(guó)際規(guī)定，文中未提。

第28題：

Thestressman，sjobistocalculate.

A.howsafetheplaneis

B.howstrongeachpartmustbe

C.whatheighttheplanewillflyat

D.theamountofluggageeachpassengermaycarry

參考答案：B

11

答案解析：

B每個(gè)部件應(yīng)有多大強(qiáng)度。為詞義猜測(cè)及細(xì)節(jié)題。2段4、5句說(shuō)明應(yīng)力專(zhuān)家要

算出每個(gè)部件能承受多大負(fù)載，即是有多大強(qiáng)度之意。A飛機(jī)有多安全。C飛機(jī)

能飛多大高度。D每位乘客可帶多少行李。這三項(xiàng)似乎有理，但不是應(yīng)力專(zhuān)家的

工作。

第29題:

Thefirstthreeaeroplanesofanewtype.

A.arealldestroyed

B.donotfly

C.arelaterbrokenupforspareparts

D.areusedfortestingpurposes

參考答案：D

答案解析：

D用于試驗(yàn)?zāi)康?，推理題。見(jiàn)3段最后3句。2個(gè)毀于地面結(jié)構(gòu)測(cè)試，第3個(gè)在

空中測(cè)試，都用于試驗(yàn)。A都被毀。B不飛行。C后都因部件而毀。此3項(xiàng)皆與

文不符。

第30題:

Thepassengercabintestinwaterisdesignedto______.

A.makesuretheplanewouldbesafeifitlandedinwater

B.testfatiguestrength

C.seeifthecabinwillburst1ikeabomb

I),keepthecabincool

參考答案：B

答案解析：

B測(cè)試疲勞強(qiáng)度。為推理細(xì)節(jié)題。從4段3句及6句可推出這一細(xì)節(jié)。3句說(shuō)另

一種是測(cè)試疲勞強(qiáng)度的。6句說(shuō)一種形式的這種測(cè)試是在客艙進(jìn)行的。A確保飛

機(jī)落水時(shí)的安全，為一迷惑項(xiàng)，恁想當(dāng)然就會(huì)錯(cuò)。C看是否客艙會(huì)象炸彈一樣爆

炸，為一干擾項(xiàng)。似與4段末句有關(guān)，但意思兩樣。原文說(shuō)會(huì)保護(hù)客艙如出事會(huì)

象炸彈一樣爆炸。D保護(hù)客艙涼爽。也是想當(dāng)然的推測(cè)。文中未提。

imprisonment.

參考答案：B

答案解析：

這是一篇有關(guān)安樂(lè)死的文章。作者從正反兩方面反映了人們對(duì)安樂(lè)死的觀點(diǎn)。反

對(duì)實(shí)施安樂(lè)死術(shù)的人認(rèn)為必須尊重生命的神圣原則，而主張實(shí)施安樂(lè)死的人則認(rèn)

為每個(gè)人都有權(quán)利“體面地死去”。醞釀已久的安樂(lè)死術(shù)問(wèn)題在歐洲進(jìn)行了激烈

的公開(kāi)辯論。B這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段表達(dá)的意思，實(shí)行安樂(lè)死在荷蘭

法律上是有罪的，但實(shí)際情況是，稱(chēng)職的執(zhí)行“積極”安樂(lè)死術(shù)的醫(yī)生是不會(huì)受

到起訴的。故A、C、D表達(dá)的內(nèi)容確，選擇B。

第32題:

Euthanasiaisoftencalled“mercykilling”,whichimpliesthat.

A.peopleshouldshowsympathyforaterminallyillpatient

B.somedoctorsmurderpatientsshieldingthemselvesfrommercy

C.humanetreatmenttodyingpatientsshouldberequired

D.thedyingpatientsaresufferingfromthepainandtheydon'twant

toliveon

參考答案：C

答案解析：

C這是一道推斷題。根據(jù)第二段所表達(dá)的意思，“憐憫致死術(shù)”的主張者認(rèn)為應(yīng)

高舉人道對(duì)待病人的大旗，使病人無(wú)痛苦，體面地離開(kāi)世界。A、B項(xiàng)則從“mercy

killing"的表面含義來(lái)理解，故錯(cuò)誤。D在文中沒(méi)有提及，不能確定為正確答

案。

第33題：

Mostadvocatesofvoluntaryeuthanasiaholdtheopinionthat.

A.onlyterminallyillpatientscanhaveeuthanasia

B.ifanyonewhorationallydecidestoendhislife,hecanhave

euthanasia

C.peopleshouldrespectforlife

D.nomatterwhatpunishmenttheyget,they,11carryouteuthanasia

topatients

參考答案：A

答案解析：

A這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。文中第四段說(shuō)明了多數(shù)安樂(lè)死術(shù)倡導(dǎo)者主張，死亡權(quán)應(yīng)只給

那些晚期不治之癥患者，故A符合其含義。B項(xiàng)只表達(dá)了主張安樂(lè)死的人中少數(shù)

派的觀點(diǎn)，不能代表全體。C項(xiàng)表達(dá)了反對(duì)安樂(lè)死的人的觀點(diǎn)。D項(xiàng)則未在

patients前加以限定，屬明顯錯(cuò)誤。

第34題：

Theauthor'sattitudestowardseuthanasiais.

14

A.positive

B.negative

C.objective

D.uncertain

參考答案：C

答案解析：

C這是一道綜合推斷題。在全文中，作者只是非?？陀^地介紹了安樂(lè)死術(shù)的情況

及其支持者和反對(duì)者的觀點(diǎn)。沒(méi)有滲入個(gè)人感情，故C正確。

第35題:

InParagraph2,“boiledovernmeans.

A.burst(into)

B.makethewaterhotenoughtoboil

C.causegreatanger

D.fightoneanother

參考答案：A

答案解析：

A此為一道詞匯猜測(cè)詞。根據(jù)原句"Thelongsimmeringeuthanasiaissuehas

latelyboiledoverintoasometimesfiercepublicdebate,??.“判斷出

boiledover為“爆發(fā)了”之意。B項(xiàng)則使理解停留在詞匯表面，未能深挖內(nèi)涵。

C、D項(xiàng)則偏離主題。

第36題：

Whatisthebesttitleforthepassage?

A.EconomicSystems

B.UtilityandPrices

C.ComplexIndividualDemands

D.UtilityandtheNatureofaCommodity

參考答案：B

答案解析：

我們的基本要求是簡(jiǎn)單的，可是我們額外的個(gè)人需求往往是極為復(fù)雜的。各種不

同的商品以不同的方式滿足我們的需求。這種滿足需求的屬性在經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)中被稱(chēng)為

“效用”。效用不等于有用性。效用在不同的人之間與不同的國(guó)家之間是不相同

的。效用與價(jià)格之間既有聯(lián)系又有區(qū)別。B這是一道綜合判斷題。作者主要寫(xiě)

了效用的定義及與價(jià)格之間的關(guān)系，故B項(xiàng)正確，D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。A項(xiàng)波及范圍太廣

泛，“utilityandpricesv只是其中一方面。C則表示復(fù)雜的個(gè)體需求,是

“utilityandprices”中的一部分。

第37題：

Whichofthefollowingistrueaccordingtothepassage?

A.Usefulnesscan，tbeexpressedbyutility.

B.Asubmarine,whichmaynotbeusefulinpeacetimebutusefulduring

thewartime.

C.Asubmarinemaynotbeusefulbutitmeetspeople'sneeds.

D.Alltheabovementioned.

參考答案：D

答案解析：

D這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。文中第二段提到，不應(yīng)該把效用和有用性混為一談。例如，

一般潛水艇在和平時(shí)期可能有用也可能沒(méi)有用，但它滿足一種需求，很多國(guó)家需

要水艇。選項(xiàng)中A、B、C皆符合上述內(nèi)容，故全都正確。

第38題:

Underwhatcircumstancewilltheconsumernotgoonbuyingbananas?

A.Theconsumerisnotsatisfiedwiththebananas.

B.Theconsumerloseshismoney.

C.Thepriceofbananasgetshigher

D.Thefinancialsacrificeis,greaterthanthesatisfactionofeating

bananas.

參考答案：D

答案解析：

D這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)作者在文中第六、七段表達(dá)的意思、，一個(gè)消費(fèi)者買(mǎi)香蕉,

只要他還是滿意的，他就會(huì)一直買(mǎi)下去。如果他繼續(xù)買(mǎi)香蕉，那就表明他滿意的

心情仍大于他舍不得在金錢(qián)上受損失的心情。然而當(dāng)金錢(qián)
