The "Lost" Great Wall of China
A forgotten section of the Great Wall of China has been discovered deep in the Gobi Desert--and outside of China--researchers say.
With the help of Google Earth, an international expedition documented the ancient wall for roughly 100 kilometers (62 miles) in a restricted border zone in southern Mongolia in August 2011.
The defensive barrier formed part of the Great Wail system built by successive Chinese dynasties to repel Mongol invaders from the north, according to findings published in the March issue of the Chinese edition of National Geographic magazine. (The National Geographic Society is responsible for both the magazine and Nationai Geographic News.)
Preserved to a height of 9 feet (2.75 meters) in places, the desert discovery belongs to a sequence of remnant( 遗留的 ) walls in Mongolia collectively known as the Wall of Genghis Khan, said expedition leader and Great Wall researcher William Lindesay.
Named after the founder of the Mongol Empire, the Wall of Genghis Khan usually survives only as "a faint trace," Lindesay said in an email.
But "we found a ’real wail’, standing high and existing as a dominant landscape feature," he said.
What’s more, it wasn’t the work of Genghis Khan or his heirs but actually a long-lost segment of the Great Wall of China network, the team’s findings suggest.
First to Investigate New Great Wall?
Close to China in the border region of omnogovi Province, the ancient structure hadn’t been scientifically explored or studied before, said Lindesay, director of the International Friends of the Great Wall conservation group, based in Beijing, China.
"We’re the first to investigate the ruins," he said.
"According to the army officers who minded us, we were the first outsiders to be allowed into the area,"
Lindesay added. "We assumed various local Mongolians had been to the area, but had not considered the structure of much interest."
At times seeking out topographic clues seen in Google Earth--the wall is visible on satellite images—the team located two well preserved but contrasting stretches of wall. One section had been made mainly with wet mud and a woody desert shrub(灌木)called saxaul(梭梭树)， the other from blocks of black volcanic rock.
Along its vast length, Lindesay suspects, the wall originally stood at least 2 meters (6.5 feet) taller than it does today.
"What we found was just the last remaining piece of a ’ fossil’--the skull or the large thighbone, with the rest missing," he said.
"One can expect the wall was both much higher and continuous for vast distances."
That dark basaltic rock(玄武岩)seems to have been an obvious choice for the second stretch，which crosses the rugged(崎岖的)remains of extinct volcanoes.
The clean，straight edges to the blocks indicate that the stone was quarried(开采)，which would have required a large，organized work.force and an efficient transport system，the team said.
Rewriting History
Ancient Mongolian texts suggest that the so-called Wall of Genghis Khan was built as an animal fence by Khan’s son Ogedei to keep wild gazelle (羚羊) on his land.
But the recently explored Gobi Desert wall segment isn’t in a region where large herds of gazelle occur.
"There would be no reason to build an animal wall in the Gobi," said anthropologist (人类学家) and Mongolia historian Jack Weathefford, formerly of Macalester College, Minnesota.
Chinese researchers, perhaps not surprisingly, have speculated that China’s Han dynasty had erected these little-studied stretches in about 115 B.C.
But radiocarbon (放射性碳) dating of partly exposed wood and rope remains extracted from the wall indicates that the saxaul-segment construction occurred about a thousand years later than thought, from A.D. 1040 to 1160.
Those dates hint that the Western Xia dynasty built the walls--or at least rebuilt old Han walls on the sites.
Holding Back the Mongol Tide
This northwestern Chinese dynasty isn’t known to have contributed to the Great Wall system, but in at least one aspect, a Western Xia origin makes sense.
During the Western Xia period, Mongol tribes were rising in strength and making forays ( 侵略 ) south,
Lindesay noted.
"If one imagines the wall as a platform, with some kind of battlement--perhaps of wooden stakes, functioning as a shield to those manning its top---then it would have been an effective defense installation ( 防护驻地)," he said.
But, mysteriously, the expedition team found no pottery, no trash, no coins, no weapons--nothing to prove the wall was ever actually manned. Nor did they find any of the watchtowers that mark surviving sections of the
Great Wall within China.
"The wall system was incomplete," Lindesay said. "It not only lacked the signaling capability to make smoke signals--it didn’t appear to be capable of accommodating troops."
Unfinished Business
"I believe the wall here is only half built and that there was, for some reason, a rethink on locating the wall here," Lindesay said.
It isn’t difficult to imagine how the purported (传说中的) Great Wall segment’s harsh desert location might have led to the remote frontier defense being abandoned, he added.
Weatherford, the Minnesota-based anthropologist, agrees with Lindesay’s conclusion that the newfound remains were Chinese constructions.
There’s a good reason, Weatherford added, that the stretch nevertheless carries Genghis Khan’s name.
Mongolians, he said, are sensitive to the idea of "Chinese structures built on their land", since it carries the
possible claim that the land was once Chinese.
"By calling it the Genghis Khan Wall, the name makes the place Mongolian and rejects foreign influence,"
Weatherford said.
He also describes the expedition new findings as"very important, because to my knowledge this wall has not been studied."
"I would risk saying that it is the largest human-made structure or artifact in all of Mongolia," he added. "It is amazing to me that it is not already much better analyzed."

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb; whistle, ride a bicycle--compare those performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out; with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end this nonsense of grades, exams,marks. Let us throw them all out. and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, "But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get in the world?" Don’t worry! If it is essential,they will go out into the world and learn it.
57. What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?
A) By imitating what other people do.
B) By making mistakes and having them corrected.
C) By listening to explanations from skilled people.
D) By asking a great many questions.
58. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are
A) not really important skills
B) mort important than other skills
C) basically different from learning adult skills
D) basically the same as learning other skills
59. According to the passage, the author thinks teachers in school should
A) allow children to learn by himself or herself
B) point out children’s mistakes whenever they’re found
C) correct children’s mistakes as soon as possible
D) give children more book knowledge
60. The author believes the teacher’s role in children’s learning should be.
A) the identifier and corrector of their errors
B) their helper and guide
C) the person to grade their performance and give feedbacks
D) the person to pass on something essential to them
61. The title of this passage could probably be
A) Let Teachers Stop Work
B) Let Us Make Children Learn
C) Let Children Correct Their Own Papers
D) Let Children Learn by Themselves
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet.
Psychologists who study optimization ( 最优化 ) compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Proponents (支持者) of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take,they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent (相关的) considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.
Since most important problems are multifaceted (多层面的), there are several alternatives to choose frown, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and
remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for my college students is the question "What will I do after graduation?" A graduate might seek a
position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.
A decision-making worksheet begins with succinct (简洁的) statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating
student might revise the question above to "What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?"
62. Of he following steps__________ is the one that occurs before the others in making a decision worksheet.
A) listing the consequences of each solution
B) calculating a numerical summary of each solution
C) writing down all possible solutions
D) deciding which consequences are most important
63.According to decision-worksheet theory, an optimal decision is defined as one hat__________.
A) has the fewest variables to consider
B) uses the most decision worksheets
C) has the most points assigned to it
D) is agreed to by the greatest number of people
64. The author develops the discussion in paragraph 1 by means of__________.
A) describing a process
B) classifying different types
C) providing historical background
D) explaining a theory
65. The author’s attitude towards a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is __________.
A) neural
B) approving
C) ambiguous
D) biased
66. The passage mainly discusses __________.
A) a tool to assist in making complex decisions
B) a comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions
C) research on how people make decisions
D) differences between making long-range and short-range decisions
Part V Cloze (15 minutes)

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
For too many young people today, citizenship is an abstract concept, not a part of their daily lives. By calling on our 67 to help their neighbors, school-based community service teaches an important 68 that being an American 69 both rights and responsibilities. It’s at least as important a(n) 70 as mathematics or physics, maybe more.

School-based programs can and should be designed to 78 that community spirit, while carefully safeguarding First Amendment protections.
To 79 both goals, they must have clear 80 purposes and components. A wide range of service 81 must be provided so that young people aren’t forced to participate in activities that make them uncomfortable. This is 82 common sense.
The idea of service is 83 new or startling(令人吃惊的). Just look at the warm and overwhelming response 84 disasters like Hurricane Andrew. There’s nothing 85 with trying to impart the 86 ethic of helping others to a new generation.

Students’Evaluation of Their teachers
Nowadays，at the end of each semester，besides the routine preparation for the coming exams，students have another thing to do :to fill out evaluation forms and evaluate their teachers.In some schools，this kind of evaluation has become the sole and only way to judge the teachers’performance and teaching quality.
A lot of controversy over the effectiveness of such evaluations springs up.There are people who applaud this kind of evaluation，saying that since students are the center of educational activities，their judgments about whether a teacher is competent or not are of the utmost importance.On the other hand，there are people who are strongly against it，believing an effective judgment involves many aspects;students，young as they are，may only evaluate the teachers according to their personal likes and dislikes.
In my opinion，the students’evaluation is an indispensable part of the teacher—evaluation，but should be deigned scientifically，and be combined with other evaluation criteria such as the students’progress，the colleagues’comments and the teachers’achievements in scientific research.etc.
【译文】
学生对教师的评估
如今，在学期末的时候，学生们除了要像往常一样为即将到来的考试做准备，还有另外一件事情要做：填写评估表格，为他们的老师打分。在一些学校，这种评估已经成为评价教师表现和教学质量的唯一方式。对于这种评估方式的有效性有许多争议。一些人支持这种方法，他们认为既然学生是教学活动的中心，那么他们对于一个老师是否胜任的评价就是至关重要的;另一方面，还有一些人强烈反对这一做法。他们认为有效的评估涉及许多方面;学生们的年龄都不大，因此很有可能仅凭个人好恶对教师进行评判。在我看来，学生对教师的评价是教师评估不可或缺的一个方面，但是此类评估应该经过科学的设计，并与其他的评估标准相结合，比如：学生的进步、同事的评价以及教师的科研成果等等。
【要点用法】
semester学期 applaud赞成，支持
routine惯常的 competent胜任的
fill out填写 utmost importance极其重要
sole and only唯一的personal likes and dislikes个人好恶

【句法点评】
1.Nowadays，at the end of each semester，besides the routine preparation for the coming exams，students have another thing to do：to fill out evaluation forms and evaluate their teachers.
besides…为插入语，表示“除了……”，使句式更为灵活。to fill out forms/a form的用法比较地道，表示“填写表格”。
2.There are people who applaud this kind of evaluation，saying that…on the other hand，there are people who are strongly against it，believing...
用on the other hand区分截然不同的两种观点，逻辑分明。there are people who分别引出两句，较为工整。saying和believing皆为现在分词表示伴随，增加了句式的难度。
3.…an effective judgment involves many aspects;students，young as they are，may only evaluate the teachers according to their personal likes and dislikes.

Part ⅢReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
【参考译文】
【答案解析】
1.B
线索词：the purpose of building the Great Wall system
定位处：文章第二段开头。
解析：原文提到：“调查研究表明，中国历代王朝都在不问断地修筑长城以抵御北部蒙古部落的入侵。”A项“避免派遣驻军的麻烦”、C项“划清与蒙古国的界线”、D项“与成吉思汗城墙一争高下”均不正确。应选B。
2.A
线索词：William Lindesay
定位处：文章第三段。
解析：原文提到：“本次探险队的领队、长城研究专家威廉•林赛说，蒙古境内残留的一系列城墙被称做‘成吉思汗城墙”’。可见，他是一名研究长城的专家，而不单单是研究这段不为人所知的城墙的专家。故选A。
3.C
线索词：the newly discovered section of the Great Wall定位处：文章第六段。
解析：原文提到：“而且，该小组的发现表明，这不是成吉思汗或者其后人建造的，事实上却是长期以来中国万里长城不为人知的一段。”可见，这段新发现的长城是中国万里长城的一部分。
4.A
线索词：Lindesay and his expedition team,the first group定位处：第一个小标题First to Investigate New Great Wall?下的第二段。
解析：原文提到，林赛说，他们是第一批研究这处遗迹的人。下一段提到他们是第一批获准进入该地区的外国人;可能有当地蒙古人曾来过该地区;林赛他们是否是首先在“谷歌地球”上发现这段长城的人在文中找不到依据;故只有A项正确。remaining walls是ruins的同义转述。
5.D
线索词：the original height of the wall
定位处：第一个小标题First to Investigate New Great Wall?下的第六段。
解析：原文提到：“根据现在城墙绵延数里的长度，林赛推测，城墙原先的高度至少应比现在高2米(约6.5英尺)。”文章第三段则提到“墙体高9英尺(约2.75米)”，将两者结合即可知原先的墙体可能高迭15.5英尺(4.75米)。故选D。
6.B
线索词：not possible，to keep wild gazelle on the land
定位处：第二个小标题Rewriting History下的第一、二段。
解析：原文提到：“据古代蒙古文献记载，这段所谓的‘成吉思汗城墙’是可汗的儿子窝阔台为了在他的领地圈养野生羚羊而修建的动物围栏。但是，最近在戈壁沙漠发现的这段城墙所在地并非野生羚羊群经常出没的地带。”可见答案为B。
7.C
线索词：the walls were very likely built by
定位处：第二个小标题Rewriting History下的倒数第一、二段。
解析：原文提到：“结果显示，用木头材质修建的那段城墙出现的时间比预测的要晚一千多年，时间大约为公元1040年到公元1160年。这些日期表明，是西夏王朝修建了这些城墙，或者至少可以说，他们在汉代旧城墙的基础上重建了城墙。”故选C。
8.make/send smoke signals
线索词：Compared with the Great wall within China，watchtowers
定位处：第三个小标题Holding Back the Mongol Tide下的最后一段。
解析：原文提到：“‘城墙体系并不完善，’林赛说，‘它不仅不能发送信号(发送烟雾信号)，好像也不能驻军。”’可见the watchtowers的作用即是make/send smoke signals。
9.the name makes the place Mongolian and rejects foreign influence
线索词：why the wail is called the Genghis Khan Wall
定位处：文章倒数第三段。
解析：原文提到：“蒙古人把这里称做‘成吉思汗城墙’，让这个地方听起来别具蒙古风格，而免受外国因素的干扰。”因此答案为the name makes the place Mongolian and rejects foreign influence。
10.already much better analyzed
线索词：it is amazing that，large human—made structure
定位处：文章最后一段最后一句。
解析：该段提到：“他继续说，‘对我来说，目前对这个地方还没有更好的研究，真的很令人惊讶。”’意即it is amazing that this section of wall is not already much better analyzed，故应填入already much better analyzed。

Section B
Passage One
【听力原文】
[26] Are electric cars the way of the future? Automobile manufacturers are under pressure to develop cars that do not pollute. One powerful motive is a California law requiring that by the year 2010 ten percent of new car sales in the state be so-called zero-emission vehicles. These cars must put no pollutants whatsoever into
the atmosphere. California is a huge market for the automobile companies, so they are working hard to meet these standards. [27]So far the electric car seems to be the best alternative. So the big advantage of electric cars is
that they don’t pollute. However, they will be in competition with gas-powered cars and that’s where the weaknesses come out. The big problem is that the batteries that power electric cars weigh a lot relative to the amount of power they deliver. For instance, in one prototype electric car, [28] the batteries weighed 400 kilograms. And they provide enough energy to go 250 kilometers before recharging, which takes eight hours.
Compare that to a moderately fuel-efficient conventional car, it can go 600 to 700 kilometers on a tank of gas and refilling takes just minutes. If there are other drains on an electric car’s batteries besides the motor, headlights, air-conditioning or a heater, its already limited range will be significantly reduced. So automobile engineers are trying to make more powerful batteries that would increase the cars’ range and make them more attractive to buyers.
26. What is the talk mainly about?
27. What is the main advantage of electric cars over gas-powered cars?
28. What is the main drawback of the electric car?
【整体预测】
快速浏览各题选项，根据electric cars、fuel efficiency、pollution、automobile、pollute、drive、faster、go long distances、recharging、steer、engine等关键词推测，该短文与电动汽车以及其优势有关，因为选项中涉及“不会产生污染”，当然还可能与其不足或劣势有关(根据第28题的选项预测)。
26.A
【解题思路】四项均为名词短语，分别为电动汽车、提高燃料效率、加利福尼亚州的污染法规、汽车安全，相互之间的关联度不高，加之本题为该短文的第一题，因此很有可能考查短文主题。
【解析】短文开头开门见山，直入主题：“Are electric cars the way of the future?(电动车会成为未来的主流交通工具吗?)”如果听到此句时没有抓住主题，后面还有机会，因为整篇文章就是围绕electric cars的优势和劣势展开的。故选A。
27.B
【解题思路】
1.四项均为以they开头的句子，they可能指代的是电动汽车。
2.四项都涉及优势(cheaper，do not pollute，simpler，faster)。
结论：本题可能考查电动汽车的优势，需留意相关细节。
【解析】短文中提到：迄今为止电动汽车似乎是最好的替代品，它的一大优势就是不会污染环境。故选B。
28.B
【解题思路】
1.四项均为完整句子，其中三项以it开头，一项以its开头。
2.四项都涉及缺点或劣势(not comfortable，cannot go long，difficult，overheats)。
结论：本题可能考查电动汽车的缺点或劣势，需留意相关细节。
【解析】短文中提到：电动汽车的电池重400千克，充满电后可使汽车行驶250公里，充一次电需要8个小时，相比之下，一辆一般的传统耗油汽车，一箱油能行驶600到700公里，而加满油只需要几分钟。可见电动车的最大劣势就在于单次行程短而充电时间长，故选B。
Passage Two
【听力原文】
Thank you. It’s great to see so many of you interested in this series on "Survival in the Outer Space". [29]Tonight I’m going to talk about one of the most basic aspects of survival: the space suit. When most of you imagine astronaut, that’s probably the first thing that comes to mind, right? Well, without space suit it will not be
possible for us to survive in space. For example, 30 outer space is a vacuum. There’s no gravity or air pressure. Without protection, a body would explode. What’s more, we cook in the sun or freeze in the shade with temperatures ranging from a toasty 300 degrees above to a cool 300 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The space suit that NASA has developed is truly a marvel. 31 This photo enlargement here is a life size image of an actual space suit worn by astronauts on the last space shuttle mission. This part is the torso. It is made of seven extremely durable layers. This thick insulation protects against temperature extremes and radiation. Next is what they call a bladder of oxygen. That’s an inflatable sack filled with oxygen to simulate atmosphere pressure. This bladder presses against the body with the same force as the earth atmosphere at sea level. The innermost layers provide liquid cooling and ventilation. Despite all the layers the suit is flexible, allowing free movement, so we can work. Another really sophisticated part of the space suit is the helmet. I brought one along to show you.
29. What’s the speaker’s main purpose?
30. What would cause an unprotected human body to explode in the outer space?
31. What does the speaker show the audience as she describes the different parts of space suit?
29.D
【解题思路】四项均为不定式短语，均提及space。由于该题处于第一题，且选项核心动词分别为show、gain、describe、inform，因此本题很有可能是问讲话者的目的，即短文的主旨。
【解析】短文开头处提到：“欢迎收看《外太空生存》系列节目，今晚我们来谈一谈涉及太空生存的最基本因素中的其中一个：宇航服。”随后讲话者简要介绍了宇航服的功能以及其各个部分。故选D。
30.A
【解题思路】四项均为名词短语，其中三项与太空中的独特条件(air pressure，temperature，radiation)有关，可能考查宇航服的某种设计原理。
【解析】短文中提到，宇航服是太空生活所必需的，因为外太空是一个真空空间，没有任何重力和气压，如果没有防护的话，人体将会爆炸。故选A。
31.C
【解题思路】四项均为名词或名词短语，分别为一盘录像带、一本书、一幅照片、一个氧气罐。应注意短文中是否提到相应的细节。
【解析】短文后面部分提到：“这张放大版的照片是一个实物大小的宇航服照片，上一次执行太空任务的宇航员所穿的就是这套宇航服。”接着，讲话者介绍了宇航服各个组成部分。picture是对原文中photo enlargement的同义转述，故选C。
Passage Three
【听力原文】
Last week I told you about how the body uses vitamin C and foods that contain vitamin C, such as oranges and tomatoes. [32] Now I want to discuss vitamin D which is important to human nutrition because it helps the body to absorb calcium. Calcium as you know is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin D deficiency an lead to serious bone diseases. E33] So in the United States it is added to milk, a staple food in most people’s diet. Vitamin D is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin. That’s because the body requires sunlight in order to make use of it. Here’s how it works: [34] when ultraviolet rays from the sun strike the vitamin D in our skin, the sunlight converts vitamin D to its active form and a substance called calciferol is produced.Calciferol is what carries the calcium to our bones. [34] [35]If our bodies are not exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun we cannot convert vitamin D to its active form, and thus cannot make use of any of the calcium
that we have consumed in our food. Eventually we would suffer from a calcium deficiency and have weak bones.Luckily it takes only 10 to 20 minutes of exposure to sunlight a day to ensure sufficient vitamin D production.Except in extremely atmospheric conditions like very heavy smog or a sunless climate, most people are able to get enough exposure to the sun. Doctors recommend that people who don’t drink much milk take vitamin supplements and that everyone spend at least 10 minutes in the sun every day.
32. Why is vitamin D important?
33. In the United States, what is the main source of vitamin D for most people?
34. What is necessary to convert vitamin D to its active form?
35. According to the speaker what might happen to the people who stay indoors all the time?
32.C
【解题思路】
1.四项均以it开头。两项后接helps，一项接keeps，一项接prevents。
2.三项与人体健康有关，其中两项直接提及body。
结论：本题可能考查某种因素对人体健康的影响。应先辨别it的指代内容。
【解析】题干问为什么维生素D非常重要，我们可以在短文开头处找到线索。讲话者提到：“Now I want to discuss Vitamin D which is important to human nutrition because it helps the body to absorb calcium.(现在我要讲的是对人体健康很重要的维生素D，因为它能够帮助人体吸收钙。)”故选c。
33.B
【解题思路】四项均为食物：橙子、牛奶、西红柿、面包。本题可能问哪种食物中含有较多的维生素D，对于短文中提到的食物要多加留意。
【解析】题干问在美国什么是人们摄取维生素D的主要来源。短文中提到，在美国，维生素D被添加到牛奶这种大多数人的主要食物中。故选B。
34.B
【解题思路】四项均为名词短语，分别为：每天l0分钟的锻炼、紫外线、维生素补充剂、每天8小时的睡眠。需留意文中是否有对以上信息进行详细分析的地方。
【解析】短文中两次提到ultraviolet rays。第一次：“when ultraviolet rays from the sun strike the vitamin D in our skin.the sunlight converts vitamin D to its active form(当阳光中的紫外线照到我们皮肤中的维生素D的时候，阳光就将维生素D转化为其活跃形式)”;第二次：“If our bodies are not exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun we cannot convert vitamin D to its active form(如果我们的身体不与阳光中的紫外线接触的话，我们就无法将维生素D转化为其活跃形式)”。文中重复叙述的内容大都是重要内容，也往往是考点。故选B。
35.A
【解题思路】
1.三项以they开头，一项以their开头。
2.四项均含有may。
3.三项都是不好的结果：become weak、develop wrinkles、become allergic。lose weight则对一部分人来说是不好的结果。
结论：整篇短文都在谈维生素D这种营养元素，因此本题可能是问当人体缺乏这种元素时可能会有什么不好的结果。
【解析】实际问题与预测略有偏差，题干问：如果人们长期待在室内的话会怎样。文中提到：如果我们的身体不与阳光中的紫外线接触的话，我们就无法将维生素D转化为其活跃形式，也就无法利用我们从食物中所摄入的钙，最终将会导致钙缺乏和骨质疏松。故选A。根据之前的预测，我们一般会将听音重点放在不良结果上，因此即使稍有出入应该也能答对此题。

Women still have a complex and contradictory relationship with their own image according to a poll that found 25 percent of those [36] questioned would rather win the "America’s Next Top Model" TV show than the[37] Nobel Peace Prize.
And although 75 percent of women E38J surveyed said they would be willing to [39] shave their heads to save the life of a stranger; more than a [40] quarter of those taking part admitted they would make their best friend fat for life, if it meant they could be thin.
As for that age-old [41] dilemma of whether to marry for wealth or looks, half of the 18- to 24-year-olds questioned said they would marry an ugly man if he were a E [42] multimillionaire.
The poll for U.S. television network Oxygen, which is [43] targeted at young women, also found that [44]88 percent of 18- to 34-year-old women would happily give up their cell phone, jewelry and makeup to keep a friendship.
"This survey reveals [45] an interesting analysis of today’s woman and how she relates her personal image with what she values in her life," said Dr. Jenn Berman, psychotherapist and judge of the upcoming new Oxygen series " Pret Wicked".
"As shown in several results, [46] women today are a complex combination of altruistic and materialistic,vain and insecure.loyal and self-serving.This survey highlights the dichotomy(对分;二分法)in all of US.”Berman said.

Section A
【参考译文】
一项大型调查显示，英国近三分之一的女性是家中主要的经济支柱。研究人员称，现在很多人不再认为家庭中丈夫就应该比妻子赚得多，[47]尤其是在到处都在裁员的时候。女性对这个问题的态度也发生了[48]重大的转变，四成女性认为夫妻双方谁赚钱多谁就应当[49]说了算。在十分之一的家庭中，是由丈夫负责照看孩子、做[50]家务，妻子则全职工作。10%的女性坦承这种角色的[51]转换对夫妻双方的关系造成了影响，有些人则说这种角色分工甚至导致了两人的[52]分手。由《红秀》杂志委托开展的“2010年女性和职业调查”发现，近一半的全职妈妈[s3]希望能自己出去工作赚钱。在2000名受访女性中，三分之二的人说她们想要在生孩子后还能继续工作。在孩子不满三岁的女性中，[54]略多比例的人说她们希望能出去工作而不是待在家里——不过最好是兼职。《红秀》杂志的维多利亚•哈柏说：“如今的女性毕业后就业的前景不错，[55]职业晋升速度比以往更快。”这意味着如今家庭中的男女角色分工要更加[56]灵活，有了孩子以后更是如此。
【说明文：女性赚钱养家的现象日益增多】
第一至二段：在到处都在裁员的大环境下，英国近三分之一的女性已成为家中主要的经济支柱。
第三段：女性对这一现象的观念已和传统观念不同。
第四段：在十分之一的英国家庭中是男主内、女主外。
第五段：这种角色转换可能会影响到夫妻双方的关系。
第六至八段：有很大一部分的女性都希望自己即使做了妈妈也能有一份工作，但最好是兼职。
第九至十段：如今女性毕业后就业的前景比从前要好，这意味着以后的家庭分工可能更加灵活。

语法判断：本句句子结构完整，空格处所填词汇应不会对句意产生较大影响，副词的可能性最大。
语义判断：此句意为：“现在很多人不再认为家庭中丈夫就应该比妻子赚得多，——是在到处都在裁员的时候。”备选项中副词只有slightly和especially，综合考虑，“especially(尤其是)”符合题意。
48.O
语法判断：空格前是in a，空格后为shift in attitudes，故应填入形容词。
语义判断：备选项中的形容词有opposite和significant。significant意为“重大的;值得注意的”，符合本处题意，故O为正确答案。
语法判断：空格前是would take，空格后为in the relationship，故应填入名词。
语义判断：“take precedence(有优先权，地位更高)”是一固定搭配，且符合本句语境，引申义即为：谁赚
钱多谁就应当“说了算”。故选A。
50.L
语法判断：空格前是does the，空格后为while，故应填入名词。
语义判断：“do the chores(做家务)”是常见搭配，且符合本句句意：“在十分之一的家庭中，是由丈夫负责照看孩子、做家务，妻子则全职工作。”
51.H
语法判断：空格前是this role，空格后为had put strains on their relationship。此句谓语部分已经较为完整，对主语部分的判断从语法角度无法进行。
语义判断：本句意为：“10%的女性坦承这种角色的__________对夫妻双方的关系造成了影响”。填入“reversal(颠倒，转换)”，既符合语法，也符合句意。故选H。
52.J
语法判断：空格前是led to them，空格后为company，从语法角度推断出答案具有相当难度。
语义判断：本句意为：“10%的女性坦承这种角色转换对夫妻双方的关系造成了影响，有些人则说这种角色转换甚至导致了两人的__________。”由句意可知，婚姻关系中的角色转换有可能会造成婚姻关系紧张，甚至会导致两人分道扬镳。通观余下选项可以发现，“parting company(分手，分道扬镳)”既合语法结构，又合句意。故选J。
53.M
语法判断：空格前是almost half of full.time mothers，空格后为not earning their own money，且空格前后应构成一个完整的句子，因此应填入动词。
语义判断：备选项中的动词有favored、plan和disliked，分别代入空格处可以发现填入disliked符合文意：“近一半的全职妈妈不喜欢自己不赚钱(希望能自己出去工作赚钱)。”故选M。
54.D
语法判断：空格前是a，空格后为higher number…，所填入词汇应可修饰比较级，所以应为副词。
语义判断：备选项中副词只剩下 slightly，填入它也符合本句句意：“在孩子不满三岁的女性中，略多比例的人说她们希望能出去工作而不是待在家里__________不过最好是兼职。”故选D。
55.E
语法判断：空格前是working up the career，空格后为faster than they have ever done，空格后的比较级从语法上判断很完整，所填入的词汇应与前文相关。
语义判断：work up the career ladder为惯用搭配，从字面来看是“在职业阶梯上向上爬”，实际即指“晋升”。本句意为：“如今的女性毕业后就业的前景不错，职业晋升速度比以往更快。”
56.N
语法判断：空格前是there has to be more，空格后为between the roles of men and women，空格后的结构从语法上判断很完整，所填入词汇应与前文相关，应为名词。
语义判断：备选项中的名词还有：connection、prospect、plan和fluidity。本句意为：“这意味着恋爱时以及有了孩子之后，男女角色的分工要更加具有__________。”fluidity意为“灵活性”，填入此处符合句意。
