第二部分 英语知识运用
第一节 单项填空
从Ａ、b、c、d 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
21. ---it looks heavy. can i give you a hand?
---_______.
a. no, thanksb. yes, my pleasurec. no, never mindd. yes, i do
【答案】a
【解析】考查交际用语。前句表示主动提出给对方以帮助，我们无论同意与否，都要向对
方表示感谢。my pleasure用来回答别人的感谢；never mind表示告诉某人不要担心某事。
22. let?s go to ______ cinema – that?ll take your mind off the problem for
_____while.
a. the; the b. the; ac. a; thed. a; a
【答案】b
【解析】考查冠词。go to the cinema属于固定词组，the cinema表示泛指的电影院；
for a while表示短暂的时间，“一会儿”。句意是“咱们去看电影吧，这样就会暂时忘记这个
烦恼”。 b. she was seeing the man off. b. a man stole money from a bank
23. how much _______ she looked without her glasses!
a. wellb. good c. bestd. better
【答案】d
【解析】考查比较级。这里的“不戴眼镜”她看起来好得多，暗含着与她“戴眼镜”进行
比较。形容词比较级可与much、even、far等连用。
24. could i speak to ______ is in charge of international sales please?
a. who b. what
c. whoeverd. whatever
【答案】c 【解析】考查连接代词。句意是“请找负责国际销售的任何人接电话好吗”。这
里的whoever相当于anybody that，它既是主句的宾语，也是宾语从句的引导词。 25.
what do you mean, there are only ten tickets? there _____ be twelve. a. shouldb.
would c. will d. shall 【答案】a 【解析】考查情态动词。前句意思是，“你说什么，只有
10张票？”可见说话者感到吃惊，由此可判断下句说话意思是“?应该?有12张票”。should
表示应该符合句意。 26. his sister left home in 1998, and _______since. a. had not been
heard of b. has not been heard of c. had not heard of d. has not heard of 【答案】b
【解析】c、d是主动语态，hear of表示“听说”，后面应该有宾语。前句意思是“他妹妹
1998年离开的家”，说明1998年前有音信，由此可判断下句意思是“她妹妹从1998年到现
在以来才没有音信的（被听说过）”，因此是现在完成时态。 27. i tried phoning her office,
but i couldn?t _______. a. get alongb. get onc. get to d. get through 【答案】d 【解析】
考查词组的意义。前句意思是“我试着给他的办公室打电话”，根据后面的转折词语but告诉
我们，这个电话没有“打通”。get through表示“打通”电话，与某人通电话则是get
through to，其它短语无此意。
28. she brought with her three friends, none of ______ i had ever met before. a.
them b. who c. whom d. these 【答案】c 【解析】考查关系代词。分析句子结构可以看出
“none of ______ i had ever met before”是非限制性定语从句，修饰three friends。of
是介词，之后要用表示人的关系代词whom。 29. edward, you play so well. but i ______
you played the piano. a. didn?t know b. hadn?t known c. don?t know d. haven?t
known 【答案】a 【解析】前句说。edward，你（钢琴）弹得这么好，可见现在已经知道
“你弹钢琴”，不知道是在过去，而不是现在，因此句子用一般过去时。 30. the children all
turned ____ the famous actress as she entered the classroom. a. looked atb. to look
at c. to looking atd. look at 【答案】b 【解析】考查非谓语动词。后句意思是“这位著名
女演员一走进教室”，可以猜测前句意思是“孩子们都转身去看她”。turn意思是转身，后面
跟不定式作状语，表示目的。 31. the computer was used in teaching. as a result, not
only__________, but students became
more interested in the lessons. a. saved was teachers? energyb. was teachers?
energy saved c. teachers? energy was savedd. was saved teachers? energy 【答案】
b 【解析】考查倒装句。在英语中not only位于句首时主谓要倒装，因此该句子中的主语
teachers? energy与谓语was saved要用倒装语序。句意是“教学中计算机的使用，不仅节
省了老师的精力，而且学生对课程产生了兴趣”。 32. encourage your children to try
new things, but try not to ___ them too hard. a. drawb. strikec. rush d. push 【答案】
d 【解析】考查动词辨义。上句是“鼓励孩子们尝试新的事情”，结合选项可判断下文意思是
“但尽力不要使劲地?督促?他们”。

因此在这种情况下把习惯谈作创造力和革新似乎是自相矛盾的。但是大脑研究者发现人们
有意识地培养新的习惯时，我们就创造出一种平行的轨道，甚至是全新的脑细胞，这可以使我
们思绪的列车进入一个新的或者创新的轨道上。
我们不必拒绝承认自己是拥有习惯的一成不变的生物，相反，我们可以通过有意识地培养
新习惯来引导改变。实际上，我们尝试的新事物越多，也就是我们越多地走出舒适地带，我们
在工作场所和个人生活中才变得更有创造性。 ?
但不要试图摆脱你的旧习惯。一旦这个过程的轨迹进入大脑，它们就会留在大脑中。相反，
根深蒂固在我们身上的新的习惯就会创造出平行的的路径，这些路径可以迂回穿过旧的轨迹。?

了解自己的孩子才是明智的父亲，但如今一个父亲要提高自己的智慧至少要证明他是孩子
的父亲。他所需的就是花费30美元在当地药店购买一个亲子鉴定工具包，再花120美元拿到
结果。
identigene公司首席运营官doug fog 指出，自从去年ptk无需处方购买以来，已经有
6万多人购买了工具包。超过二十四家公司直接向公众提供dna检测，价格从几百美元至
2500多美元不等。?
最受欢迎的dna测试是亲子关系鉴定，被收养的孩子可以通过亲子鉴定找到自己的亲属，
家庭可以通过亲子鉴定找到被别人收养的孩子。最近这种鉴定也受到了谱系学家的欢迎，他们
支持这个产业，通过检测可以找到这个家庭的祖籍。?
但有些观察者持怀疑态度。纽约州立大学社会学家troy duster说“人们声称可以进行血
统检测，但他们所兜售的只是虚假的准确度”。他谈到，一个人有很多祖先，几个世纪前就有
几百个之多。然而，大多数血统鉴定只考虑某个单一血统，或者是来自父亲的y染色体，或者
来自只由母亲遗传的线粒体dna。这种dna只揭示一个或两个祖先的基因信息，仅仅三代以前
的人们就可以有6个其他的曾祖父母，四代以前的人们可以有14个其他的曾曾祖父母。 ?
评论家争论道，商业化的基因测试只是相当于信息收集，样本可以与之比对。一些公司使
用的数据库并不依赖于系统地收集数据而是把不同的研究机构的信息糅合在一起。这就意味着
处理数据的公司不同，所用dna数据库也会不同，dna数据库会因制作结果的公司不同而不同。
此外，公司使用推测亲属关系的电脑程序也可以获得专利，并不会受到同行审查或外界的评
估。?

经济学家和政客们未能正确理解贫困国家的正规教育和经济增长之间的关系。这两个领域
的进步无疑对这些国家以及其他国家的社会、政治和学术发展是必不可少的，然而，传统观点

具有讽刺意味的是，这个观点的首要证据出现在美国。不久之前，随着美国进入衰退时期，

最近，研究者们在研究住宅建设时发现，尽管建筑业存在着复杂性，但在休斯顿和德克萨
斯州的文盲且母语不是英语的墨西哥工人始终能够达到高报酬的劳动工作的要求。?
教育和经济增长的真正关系是什么？我们不得不怀疑，持续的经济增长促进了教育的发展，
即使是政府不强制推行。毕竟，教育就是那样开始的。在10，000年前我们的祖先狩猎和采集
野果而生活时，他们并没有时间来考虑寻求食物以外的事情。只有人类更高效地获得食物时，
他们才可能有时间考虑其他事情。?
随着教育的提高，人类的生产力潜力也会提高。当这种竞争性环境推动我们的祖先来实现

habit 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 ueflecting herd,‖ william wordsworth said in the 19th
century. in the ever-changing 21st century, even the word ―habit‖ carries a
negative connotation.
so it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity
and innovation. but brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously
develop new habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain
cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.
all of us work through problems in ways of which we’re unaware, she says,
researchers in the late 1960 covered that humans are born with the capacity to
approach challenges in four primary ways; analytically, procedurally, relationally
(or collaboratively) and innovatively. at puberty, however, the brain shuts down
half of that capacity, preserving only those modes of thought that have seemed
most valuable during the first decade or so of life.
the current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and
procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use our innovative and collaborative
modes of thought .―this breaks the major rule in the american belief system — that
anyone can do anything,‖ explains m.j. ryan, author of the 2006 book ―this year i
will…‖ and ms. markova’s business partner. ―that’s a lie that we have
perpetuated, and it fosters commonness knowing what you’re good at and doing
even more of it creates excellence.‖ this is where developing new habits comes in.
21. the view of wordsworth habit is claimed by being_______.
a. usual b. familiar c. mechanical d. changeable
22. the researchers have discovered that the formation of habit can be________.
a. predicted b. regulated c. traced d. guided
23. ―ruts‖ (in line one, paragraph 3) has closest meaning to__________.
a. tracks b. series c. characteristics d. connections
24. ms, markova’s comments suggest that the practice of standard testing
_______?
a. prevents new habits form being formed
b. no longer emphasizes commonness
c. maintains the inherent american thinking mode
d. complies with the american belief system
25. ryn most probably agree that_______.
a. ideas are born of a relaxing mind
b. innovativeness could be taught
c. decisiveness derives from fantastic ideas
d. curiosity activates creative minds

it is a wise father that knows his own child, but today a man can boost his
paternal (fatherly) wisdom – or at least confirm that he’s the kid’s dad. all he
needs to do is shell our $30 for
paternity testing kit (ptk) at his local drugstore – and another $120 to get the
results.
more than 60,000 people have purchased the ptks since they first become
available without prescriptions last years, according to doug fog, chief operating
officer of identigene, which makes the over-the-counter kits. more than two dozen
companies sell dna tests directly to the public, ranging in price from a few
hundred dollars to more than $2500.
among the most popular : paternity and kinship testing. which adopted
children can use to find their biological relatives and latest rage a many passionate
genealogists- and supports businesses that offer to search for a family’s
geographic roots.
most tests require collecting cells by webbing saliva in the mouth and sending
it to the company for testing, all tests require a potential candidate with whom to
compare dna.
but some observers are skeptical, ―there is a kind of false precision being
hawked by people claiming they are doing ancestry testing.‖ says trey duster, a
new york university sociologist. he notes that each individual has many ancestors-
numbering in the hundreds just a few centuries back. yet most ancestry testing
only considers a single lineage, either the y chromosome inherited through men in
a father’s line or mitochondrial dna, which a passed down only from mothers,
this dna can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even
though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other great-
grandparents or, four generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparents.
critics also argue that commercial genetic testing is only as good as the
reference collections to which a sample is compared. databases used by some
companies don’t rely on data collected systematically but rather lump together
information from different research projects. this means that a dna database may
differ depending on the company that processes the results. in addition, the
computer programs a company uses to estimate relationships may be patented
and not subject to peer review or outside evaluation.
26. in paragraphs 1 and 2, the text shows ptk’s ________.
[a]easy availability
[b]flexibility in pricing
[c]successful promotion
[d]popularity with households
27. ptk is used to __________.
[a] locate one’s birth place
[b]promote genetic research
[c]identify parent-child kinship
[d]choose children for adoption
28. skeptical observers believe that ancestry testing fails to ________.
[a]trace distant ancestors
[b]rebuild reliable bloodlines
[c]fully use genetic information
[d]achieve the claimed accuracy
29. in the last paragraph, a problem commercial genetic testing faces
_________.
[a] disorganized data collection
[b]overlapping database building
30. an appropriate title for the text is most likely to be _______.
[a] fors and againsts of dna testing
[b] dna testing and it’s problems
[c]dna testing outside the lab
[d] lies behind dna testing

the relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor
countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike progress in
both area is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual
development of these and all other societies, however, the conventional view that
education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid
economic development in poor countries is wrong. we are fortunate that is it,
because new educational systems there and putting enough people through them
to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. the
findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all
countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a
result, radically higher standards of living.
ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the united states. not
long ago, with the country entering a recessing and japan at its pre-bubble peak.
the u.s. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of primary cause of the
poor u.s. economic performance. japan was, and remains, the global leader in
automotive-assembly productivity. yet the research revealed that the u.s. factories
of honda nissan, and toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their
japanese counter e pants a result of the training that u.s. workers received on the
job.
more recently, while examing housing construction, the researchers discovered
that illiterate, non-english-speaking mexican workers in houston, texas,
consistently met best-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity
of the building industry’s work.
what is the real relationship between education and economic development?
we have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development
of education even when governments don’t force it. after all, that’s how
education got started. when our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000
years ago, they didn’t have time to wonder much about anything besides finding
food. only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was
there time for other things.
as education improved, humanity’s productivity potential, they could in turn
afford more education. this increasingly high level of education is probably a
necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems
required by advanced economic performance, thus poor countries might not be
able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible
only with broader formal education. a lack of formal education, however, doesn’t
constrain the ability of the developing world’s workforce to substantially improve
productivity for the forested future. on the contrary, constraints on improving
productivity explain why education isn’t developing more quickly there than it is.
31. the author holds in paragraph i that the important of education in poor
countries _______.
[a]is subject groundless doubts
[b]has fallen victim of bias
[c]is conventional downgraded
[d]has been overestimated
32. it is stated in paragraph 1 that construction of a new education system
_________.
[a]challenges economists and politicians
[b]takes efforts of generations
[c]demands priority from the government
[d]requires sufficient labor force
33. a major difference between the japanese
_________.
[a]the japanese workforce is better disciplined
[b]the japanese workforce is more productive
[c]the u.s workforce has a better education
[d]the u.s workforce is more organize
and u.s workforces is that
34. the author quotes the example of our ancestors to show that education
emerged _______.
[a]when people had enough time
[b]prior to better ways of finding food
[c]when people on longer went hung
[d]as a result of pressure on government
35. according to the last paragraph, development of education _____________.
[a]results directly from competitive environments
[b]does not depend on economic performance
[c]follows improved productivity
[d]cannot afford political changes
the most thoroughly studied in the history of the new world are the ministers
and political leaders of seventeenth-century new england, according to the
standard history of american philosophy, nowhere else in colonial america was ―so
much important attached to intellectual pursuits‖ according to many books and
articles, new england’s leaders established the basic themes and preoccupations
of an unfolding. dominant puritan tradition in american intellectual life.
to take this approach to the new englanders normally mean to start with the
puritans’ theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church-
important subjects that we may not neglect. but in keeping with our examination
of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original puritans as carriers of
european culture adjusting to new world circumstances. the new england colonies
were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely under stood ideals
of civility and virtuosity.
the early settlers of massachusetts bay included men of impressive education
and influence in england. besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to
massachusetts church in the decade after 1629. there were political leaders like
john winthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the crown before he
journeyed to boston, there men wrote and published extensively, reaching both
new world and old world audiences, and giving new england an atmosphere of
