line through the center.

Passage One

Jean left Alice Springs on Monday morning with regret, and flew all day in a “Dragonfly”'

aircraft; and it was a very instructive day for her. The machine did not go directly to Cloncurry,

but flew to and for across the wastes of Central Australia, depositing small bags of mail at cattle

stations and picking up cattle-men and travelers to drop them off after a hundred or a hundred and

fifty miles. They landed eight or ten times in the course of the day, at places like Ammaroo and

Hatches Creek and many other stations; at each place they would get out of the plane and drink a

cup of tea and have a talk with the station manager or owner, and get back into the plane and go

on their way. By the end of the day Jean Paget knew exactly what a cattle station looked like, and

she was beginning to have a very good idea of what went on there.

They got to Cloncurry in the evening, a fairly extensive town on a railway that ran eastward

to the sea at Townsville． Here she was in Queensland, and she heard for the first time the slow

deliberate speech of the Queensland that reminded her at once of her friend Joe Harman. She was

driven into town in a very old open car and deposited at the Post Office Hotel; she got a bedroom

but tea was over, and she had to go down the wide， dusty main street to a café for her evening

meal. Cloncurry, she found, had none of the clean attractiveness of Alice Springs; it was a town

which smelt of cattle, with wide streets through which to drive them down to the stockyard, many

hotels, and a few shops. All the houses were of wood with red-painted iron roofs; the hotels had

two floors, but very few of the other houses had more than one.

She had to spend a day here, because the air service to Normanton and Willstown ran weekly

on a Wednesday ． She went out after breakfast while the air was still cool and walked in one

direction up the huge main street for half a mile till she came to the end of the town, then came

back and walked down it a quarter of a mile till she came to the other end. Then she went and had

a look at the railway station, and, having seen the airfield,with that she had seen all there was to

see in Cloncurry. She looked in at a shop that sold toys and newspapers, but they were sold out of

all reading matter except a few books about dress-making; as the day was starting to warm up she

went back to the hotel. She managed to borrow a copy of the Australian Women's Weekly from the

manageress of the hotel and took it to her room, and took off most of her clothes and lay down on

her bed to sweat it out during the heat of the day. Most of the other citizens of Cloncurry seemed

to be doing the same thing.

She felt like moving again shortly before tea and had a shower, and went out to the café for

an ice. Weighed down by the heavy meal of roast beef and plum-pudding that the Queenslanders

call “tea” she sat in a folding chair for a little outside in the cool of the evening, and went to bed

again at about eight o'cock. She was called before daybreak, and was out at the airfield with the

first light.

31．When Jean had to leave Alice Springs, she ______.

A．wished she could have stayed lodger

B．regretted she had decided to fly

C．wasn't looking forward to flying all day

D．wished it had not been a Monday morning

32．How did Jean get some idea of Australian cattle station？A．She learnt about them at first hand.

B．She learnt about them from friends.

C．She visited them weekly.

33．Jean's main complaint about Cloncurry in comparison with Alice Springs, was ______.

A．the width of the main street B．the poor service at the hotel

C．the poor-looking buildings D．the smell of cows

34．For her evening meal on the second day Jean had ______.

A．only an ice-cream B．a lot of cooked food

C．some cold beer D．a cooling, but non-alcoholic drink

35．Jean left Cloncurry ______.

A． early on Wednesday morning B．late on Tuesday evening

C．after breakfast on Tuesday D．before breakfast on Tuesday

Passage Two

It was unfortunate that, after so trouble-free an arrival, he should stumble in the dark as he

was rising and severely twist his ankle on a piece of rock. After the first shock the pain became

bearable, and he gathered up his parachute before limping into the trees to hide it as best he could.

The hardness of the ground and the deep darkness made it almost impossible to do this efficiently.

The pine needles lay several inches deep so he simply piled them on top of the parachute, cutting

the short twigs that he could feel around his legs, and spreading them on top of the needles. He

had great doubts about whether it would stay buried, but there was very little else that he could do

about it.

After limping for some distance in an indirect course away from his parachute he began to

make his way downhill through the trees. He had to find out where he was, and then decide what

to do next. But walking downhill on a rapidly swelling ankle soon proved to be almost beyond his

powers. He moved more and more slowly ， walking in long sideways movements across the

slope, which meant taking more steps but less painful ones. By the time he cleared the trees and

reached the valley, day was breaking. Mist hung in soft sheets across the field. Small cottages and

farm buildings grouped like sleeping cattle around a village church, whose pointed tower, pointed

high into the cold winter air to welcome the morning.

“I can't go no further，” John Harding thought. “Someone is bound to find me, but what

can't I do？ I must get a rest before I go on. Ther'll look for me first up there on the mountain

where the plane crashed. I bet they're out looking for it already and they're bound to find the

parachute in the end. I can't believe they won't. So they'll know I'm not dead and must be

somewhere. They'll think I'm hiding up there in the trees and rocks so they'll look for me, so I'll go

down to the village. With luck by the evening my foot will be good enough to get me to the

border.”

Far above him on the mountainside he could hear the faint echo of voices, startling him after

great silence. Looking up he saw lights like little pinpoints moving across the face of the mountain

in the grey light. But the road was deserted, and he struggled along, still almost invisible in the

first light, easing his aching foot whenever he could, avoiding stones and rough places, and

limping quietly and painfully towards the village. He reached the church at last. A great need for

peace almost drew him inside, but he knew that would not do. Instead, he limped along its wails

towards a very old building standing a short distance from the church doors. It seemed to have

been there for ever, as if it had grown out of the hillside. It had the same air of timelessness as the

church. John Harding pushed open the heavy wooden door and slipped inside.

36．It is known from the passage that John Harding was ______.

A．an escaped prisoner

B．a criminal on the run from the police

C．an airman who had landed in an enemy country area

D．a spy who had been hiding in the forest

37．John Harding found it hard to hide his parachute because ______.

A．he got his ankle twisted severely

B．the trees did not give very good cover

C．the earth was not soft and there was little light

D．the pine needles lay too thick on the ground

38．In spite of his bad ankle John Harding was able to ______.

A．carry on walking fairly rapidly

B．walk in a direction that was less steep

C． bear the pain without changing direction

D．find out where he had landed

39．When John Harding got out of the forest he saw that ______.

A．it was beginning to get much lighter

B．washing was hanging on the lines in the village

C．the fields were full of sleeping cows

D．some trees had been cleared near the village

40．John Harding decided to go down to the village ______.

A．to find a doctor to see to his ankle B． to be near the frontier

C．to avoid the search party D．to find shelter in a building

Passage Three

A trade group for liquor retailers put out a press release with an alarming headline: “Millions

of Kids Buy Internet Alcohol, Landmark Survey Reveals.”

The announcement, from the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America received wide media

attention. On NBC's Today Show, Lea Thompson said, “According to a new online survey, one in

10 teenagers have an underage friend who has ordered beer, wine or liquor over the internet. More

than a third think they can easily do it and nearly half think they won't get caught.” Several

newspapers mentioned the study, including USA Today and the Record of New Jersey. The news

even made Australia's Gold Coast Bulletin.

Are millions of kids really buying booze online？ To arrive at that jarring headline, the group

used some questionable logic to pump up results from a survey that was already tilted in favor of

finding a large number of online buyer.

For starters, consider the source. The trade group that commissioned the survey has long

fought efforts to expand online sales of alcohol; its members are local distributors who compete

with online liquor sellers. Some of the news coverage pointed out that conflict of interest, though

reports didn't delve more deeply into how the numbers were computed.

The Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America hired Teenage Research Unlimited, a research

company, to design the study. Teenage Research, in turn, hired San Diego polling firm Luth

Research to put the questions to 1,001 people between the ages of 14 and 20in an online survey.

Luth gets people to participate in its surveys in part by advertising them online and offering small

cash awards—typically less than $ 5 for short surveys.

People who agree to participate in online surveys are, by definition, internet users, something

that not all teens are. （Also, people who actually take the time to complete such surveys may be

more likely to be active, or heavy internet users. ） It's safe to say that kids who use the internet

regularly are more likely to shop online than those who don't. Teenage Research Unlimited told

me it weighted the survey results to adjust for age, sex, ethnicity and geography of respondents,

but had no way to adjust for degree of internet usage.

Regardless, the survey found that, after weighting, just 2.1 points of the 1,001 respondents

bought alcohol online—compared, with 56 points who had consumed alcohol. Making the

questionable assumption that their sample was representative of all Americans aged 14 to 20 with

access to the internet—and not just those with the time and inclination to participate in online

surveys—the researchers concluded that 551,000 were buying alcohol online.

But that falls far short of the reported “millions of kids”. To justify that headline, the

wholesalers' group focused on another part of the survey that asked respondents if they knew a

teen who had purchased alcohol online. Some 12 points said they did. Of course, it's ridiculous to

extrapolate from a state like that—one buyer could be known by many people, and it's impossible

to measure overlap. Consider a high school of 1,000 students, with 20 who have bought booze on

line and 100 who know about the purchases. If 100 of the school's students are surveyed at

random, you'd expect to find two who have bought and 10 who know someone who has—but that

still represents only two buyers, not 10 ． （ Not to mention the fact that thinking you know

someone who has ordered beer online is quite different from ordering a six pack yourself. ）Karen Gravois Elliott, a spokeswoman for the wholesalers' group, told me, “The numbers are

real,” but referred questions about methodology to Teenage Research. When I asked her about the

potential problems of conducting the survey online, she said the medium was a strength of the

survey: “We specifically wanted to look at the teenage online population.”

Nahme Chokeir, a vice president of client service for San Diego-based Luth Research Inc.,

told me that some of his online panel comes from word of mouth, which wouldn't necessarily

skew toward heavy internet users. He added that some clients design surveys to screen

respondents by online usage, though Teenage Research didn't.

I asked Michael Wood, a vice president at Teenage Research who worked on the survey ， whether one could say, as the liquor trade group did, that millions of teenagers had bought alcohol

online. “You can't,” he replied, adding, “This is their press release.”

41．Which of the following is the message that this passage is trying to convey？A．The severe social consequences of kids buying alcohol online.

B．The hidden drawback of the American educational system.

C．The influence of wide coverage of news media.

D．The problems in statistic methodology in social survey.

42．According to the author, what is wrong with the report about kids buying alcohol？A．It is unethical to offer cash awards to subjects of survey.

B．The numbers in this report were falsified.

C． The samples and statistic methods were not used logically.

D．The study designers and survey conductors were bribed.

43 ． Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the word “extrapolate” in

paragraph 8？A．Conduct. B． Infer. C．Deduct. D．Whittle.

44．By saying “To justify that headline, the wholesalers' group focused on another part of

the survey that asked respondents if they knew a teen who had purchased alcohol online”, the

author implies that ______.

A．it is absurd to conduct a survey among teenagers

B．the ways the wholesalers' group conducted surveys are statistically questionable

C．this kinds of survey is preliminary, therefore undependable

D．teenagers might not be honest since buying alcohol online is an indecent behavior

45．Which of the following is more likely to be the source for problems in this survey？A．This survey is tilted in favor of local alcohol distributors, who have a conflict of interest

with online sellers.

B．The data collection and analysis are not scientific and logical.

C ． Subjects are not sampled in a right way and can not represent the whole American

teenage population.

D．The survey results are affected by gifts to subjects, which can be misleading.

Passage Four

I had visited the capital before although my friend Arthur had not, I first visited London as a

student, reluctantly released from the bosom of a tearful mum, with a traveling trunk stuffed full

of home-made fruit cakes and woolly vests. I was ill-prepared for the Spartan standards of the

South. Through even the grimmest post-war days, as kids we had ploughed our way through

corner cuts of beef and steamed puddings. So you can imagine my dismay when I arrived, that

first day, at my London digs to be faced with a plate of tuna-paste sandwiches and a thin slice of

cake left curling under a tea-towel. And that was supposed to be Sunday lunch!

When I eventually caught up with my extremely irritating landlady, I met with a vision of

splendor more in keeping with the Royal Enclosure at the races than the area in which she lived.

Festooned with jewels and furs and plastered with exclusive cosmetics, she was a walking advert

for Bond Street.

Now, we have a none too elegant but very apt phrase for this in the North of England, and it

was the one my friend Arthur to describe London after three days there: “All fur coat and nothing

underneath.”

Take our hotel. The reception area was plush and inviting, the lounge and diningroom poor

enough to start Arthur speaking “properly”. But journey upstairs from one landing to the next, at

the veneers of civilization fell away before your eyes. By the time we reached our room, all

pretension to refinement and comfort had disappeared. The fur coat was off （back in the bands of

the hire purchase company）, and what we were really expected to put up with for a small fortune

a night was exposed in all its shameful nakedness. It was little more than a garret, a shabby affair

with patched and peeling walls. There was a stained sink with pipes that grumbled and muttered

all night long and an assortment of furnishings that would have disgraced Her Majesty's Prison

Service. But the crowning glory was the view from the window. A peek behind the handsome

facade of our fabled city, rank gardens choked with rubbish, all the debris of life piled against the

back door. It was a good job the window didn't open, because from it all arose the unmistakable

odor of the abyss.

Arthur, whose mum still polishes her back step and disinfects her dustbin once a week,

slumped on to the bed in a sudden fit of depression. “Never mind，” I said, drawing the curtains.

“You can watch telly.” This was one of the hotel's luxuries, which in the newspaper ad had

persuaded us we were going to spend the week in style. It turned out to be a yellowing plastic

thing with a picture which rolled over and over like a floundering fish until you took your fist to it.

But Arthur wasn't going to be consoled by any cheap technological gimmicks.

He was sure his dad had forgotten to feed his pigeons and that his dogs were pining away for

him. He grew horribly homesick. After a terrible night spent tossing and turning to a ceaseless

cacophony of pipes and fire doors, traffic, drunks and low-flying aircraft, Arthur surfaced next day

like a claustrophobic mole. London had got squarely on top of him. Seven million people had sat

on him all night, breathed his air, generally fouled his living space, and come between him and

that daily quota of privacy and peace which prevents us all from degenerating into mad axemen or

reservoir poisoners.

Arthur had to be got out of London for a while.

46．When the writer first came to the capital ______.

A．he had been very reluctant to leave his mother

B． his mother had not wanted him to leave home

C．he had made no preparations for his journey south

D．he had sent his possessions on ahead in a trunk

47．The writer was surprised at what he received for Sunday lunch because ______.

A． food had always been plentiful at home

B．he had been used to grimmer times at home

C．things had been difficult after the war up North

D．beef had always been available from the butcher on the corner at home

48．The landlady seemed to epitomize a phrase used in the North of England to indicate that

things were ______.

A．tender underneath the surface B． vulnerable to the outside world

C． more profound than they seemed D．beautiful but only superficially

49．The room which the writer and his friend were to share ______.

A． was more suited to housing prisoners than hotel guests

B．had a magnificent view from one of its windows

C．had a door which provided access to a rubbish tip

D．was situated above some foul-smelling gardens

50．The writer feels that in order to remain sane, one needs a certain amount of ______.

A．physical exercise B．fresh air

C．daily nourishment D． breathing space

the passage. Write your answer on ANSWER SHEET .Ⅱ

Now when I had mastered the language of this water, and had come to know every trifling

features that bordered the great river as familiarly as I knew the letters of the alphabet, I had made

a valuable acquisition. But I had lost something too. I had lost something which could never be

51 tome while I lived. All the grace, the beauty, the poetry had gone out of the majestic river! I

still keep in 52 a certain wonderful sunset which I witnessed when steam-boating was new to

me. A broad expanse of the river was turned to blood; in t he middle distance the red hue

brightened into gold, 53 which a solitary log came floating black and conspicuous, in one place

a long, slanting mark lay sparking upon the water ； in 54 the surface was broken by boiling,

tumbling rings, that were as many-tinted as an opal; 55 the ruddy flush was faintest, was a

smooth spot that was covered with graceful circles and radiating lines, ever so delicately traced;

the shore 56 our left was densely wooded and the somber shadow that 57 from this forest was

broken in one place by a long, ruffled trail that shone like silver; and high 58 the forest wall a

clean-stemmed dead tree waved a single leafy bough that glowed like a flame in the unobstructed

splendor that was flowing from the sun. There were graceful curves, reflected images, soft

distances; and over the whole scene, 59 and near, the dissolving lights drifted steadily enriching

60 every passing moment with new marvels of coloring.

Part Translation Ⅳ （20 points）Directions: Put the following passage into English.

如果你是那种看着别人的生活就羡慕，对自己的生活提不起精神的人，也许你需要把握生活，做些改变。很多人每天从早到晚做同样的事情，对现状感到非常满足并很快乐。但

是，如果你觉得自己的潜能被浪费，内心深处渴望更活跃刺激的生活，你就需要采取一些积极的行动。

你会觉得如果你处在另一种环境，你肯定会掌握好局面，为更宏大目标而努力。如果你真这样想过，那就不应该被无法改变的现状所难倒，不要为自己为什么不开始行动找借口，也不要为自己找为什么不去充分发挥潜能的理由了。

如果人满腹激情，也有能力干一番事业，就不要浪费自己的才能。停止抱怨，命运掌握在自己手里！现在该是人停止自欺欺人、认识到岸上的安全可能要比你所想的更具有破坏性的时候了。

31．B

【解析】细节题。文章第一段的第一句就说“Jean left Alice Springs on Monday morn ing

with regret”，即琼在星期一的早晨带着遗憾离开了艾丽斯泉，所以正确答案是 B 项。32．A

【解析】理解题。通读文章可知琼是通过自己的经历来了解牧场情况的，at first hand 意为“直接地”，所以正确答案是 A 项。

33．B

【解析】理解题。根据文中的内容可知，琼住在了邮局旅馆；她订了一个房间但已经不供应茶点了，所以她得沿着满是灰尘的大街走到一家咖啡馆来吃晚餐。因此她主要抱怨的是旅馆的服务。所以正确答案是 B 项。

34．B

【解析】细节题。根据文中的“Weighed down by the heavy meal of roast beef and plum

pudding that…”可知，琼第二天的晚餐是丰盛的烤牛肉和葡萄干布丁。所以正确答案是 B 项。35．A

【解析】推理题。从文中的内容可知，琼在星期一早晨离开了艾丽斯泉，晚上到了克朗克里，接着又在克朗克里过了一天，星期三早晨离开，所以正确答案是 A 项。

全文参考译文琼在星期一早晨带着遗憾离开了艾丽斯泉，并且乘坐一架名为“蜻蜓”的飞机飞行了

一整天。对她来说，这是非常有意义的一天。飞机并没有直接飞往克朗克里，而是穿越了澳大利亚中心地带的荒漠地区，在牧场存放了几个邮寄的小包裹，载送几个饲养员和游客到100或 150英里以外的地方。在一天的航程中，飞机降落了八或十次，降落的地方有像Ammaroo和Hatches Creek 这样的牧场，还有很多其他的牧场。在停降的每个地方，他们都要下飞机喝上一杯茶，和牧场管理员或是牧场主聊上几句，然后再回到飞机上继续他们的旅程。在这天结束的时候，琼对牧场的情况已经非常了解，而且她开始对牧场的发展有了很好的想法。

他们晚上到了克朗克里。克朗克里是一个面积很大的城镇，附近有条铁路向东通往位于汤斯维尔的大海。现在琼在昆士兰州，并且第一次听到了缓慢而从容不迫的昆士兰州的语言，这使她立刻想起了她的朋友乔·哈曼。琼乘坐一辆很旧的敞篷车来到城镇，住进了邮局旅馆；她订了一个房间但已经不供应茶点了，所以她得沿着满是灰尘的大街走到一家咖啡馆来吃晚餐。琼发现克朗克里没有一处像艾丽斯泉那样整洁而有吸引力的地方，它只是一个充满牲畜味的城镇。他们顺着宽阔的街道乘车经过了牲畜围栏、许多旅馆和几处商店。所有的房子都是木制的，屋顶铺的是漆成红色的铁皮；旅馆有两层，但是其他的房子几乎没有超过一层的。琼必须在这里待一天，因为每周只有周三才有飞往 Normanton和Willstown 的航班。用

过早餐后琼就出来了。天气仍然很凉，她沿着一条大街走了半英里，直到小镇的尽头。然后她又返回来沿街走了 0.25英里的路程，直到来到小镇另一边的尽头。接着她又去火车站和飞机场看了看，就这样她把克朗克里所有该看的都看过了。琼往一家销售玩具和报纸的商店里看了看，但是除了几本关于制衣的书籍外，其他的读物都已卖完了。当天气开始变热时，她就返回了旅馆。她从旅馆经理那里借了本《澳大利亚妇女周刊》带回房间，接着把大部分衣服脱掉后躺在了床上，在炎热的一天中利用出汗来散热。克朗克里的多数市民似乎都在做着同样的事。

在吃茶点之前琼想再活动一下。她淋浴后去外面的咖啡馆吃了一杯冰淇淋。用过一餐丰盛的烤牛肉和葡萄干布丁（昆士兰州人把这叫做“茶点”）后，在凉爽的夜晚中琼在一张折叠椅上坐了一会儿，大约在晚上 8点时她又回房间睡觉。在破晓前琼被叫醒，在第一缕曙光出现时来到飞机场。

36．C

【解析】推断题。从文中第一段的内容可知，约翰·哈丁收起降落伞，跛着脚走入树林，尽可能将降落伞藏好。由此可以推断出他是一个降落在敌对区域的飞行员，所以正确答案是 C 项。

37．C

【解析】细节题。根据文中的“The hardness of the ground and the deep darkness made it

almost impossible to do this efficiently”可知：地面很坚硬，天又一片漆黑，这使他几乎不可能很好地完成这件事。所以正确答案是 C 项。

valley，day was breaking．”可知，当他走出树林到达山谷的时候，天已经破晓了。所以正确答案是 A 项。

40．B

【解析】细节题。根据文中第三段的“ With luck by the evening my foot will be good

enough to get me to the border．”可知，约翰·哈丁到村庄里是想去边界。所以正确答案是 B

项。全文参考译文在顺利地着陆后，当他起身时却不幸地在黑暗中绊倒了，他的脚踝骨撞到一块石头上，

并且严重地扭伤了。在经过开始时的剧痛后，疼痛感变得可以忍受了。他收起降落伞，跛着脚走入树林，尽可能将降落伞藏好。地面很坚硬，天又一片漆黑，这使他几乎不可能很好地完成这件事。堆在地上的松针有几英尺厚，所以他只需用松针盖在降落伞的上部。他又将腿周围的小树枝砍断，将它们铺在松树针的上面。他非常不确定降落伞能否就这样一直掩埋着，但是他也只能这样做了。他沿着一条曲折的路线一瘸一拐地走了一段，离埋降落伞的地方也越来越远，接着他

开始穿过树林下山。他得弄清楚自己所在的位置，然后再决定下一步怎么办。但是脚踝骨处迅速肿起来，他几乎无法靠自己的力量走下山去。他挪动得越来越慢，沿侧面穿过山坡。这让他得走更多的路，但却减轻了疼痛。当他走出树林到达山谷的时候，天已经破晓了。层层轻柔的薄雾笼罩在旷野上面，在村庄的教堂周围小农舍和农场建筑物像沉睡的牛群一样聚在一起。教堂的尖塔高高地指向冬日的空中，迎接清晨的来临。

“我必须往前走”，约翰·哈丁想，“肯定有人能发现我，但是有什么我不能做的呢？在我继续行进之前必须休息一下。他们首先会在飞机坠毁的山上找我，我敢断定他们已经在找了，而他们最后肯定会发现降落伞。我确信他们会找到。所以他们就会知道我没有死，肯定是在什么地方藏着。他们会认为我藏在树林和岩石丛里，因此他们会去寻找我。我要到村庄里去，幸运的话到晚上时我的腿会好到能支撑我走到边界的程度。”

在离他很远的山腰处能听到微弱的话语回音，这让经历了极度寂静后的他感到震惊。他向上看去，看到像针尖一样大的亮光在昏暗的日光中正在穿过山的一面。这是条荒废的路，他艰难地向前走着，在第一缕曙光中仍很难看清道路。无论何时，只要有机会他就会放松一下他那只疼痛的脚，并避免碰到石头和高低不平的地方。他静静地忍着疼痛向村庄一瘸一拐地走去，最后终于到了教堂。一种巨大的对平静的渴望吸引他差点走入教堂，但他知道不能那么做。相反，他沿着教堂的围墙向一个很古老的建筑物走去，它离教堂的门不太远，似乎一直矗立在那里，就像是从山里面长出来的。这座建筑物像教堂一样有着同样永恒的气氛。约翰推开了沉重的木门，跌跌撞撞地走了进去。

长难例句分析【难句解析】But the road was deserted，and he struggled along，still almost invisible in the

first light， easing his aching foot whenever he could， avoiding stones and rough places， and

easing，avoiding和 limping 是现在分词做伴随状语。Passage Three

41．D

【解析】综合题。综观全文，本文围绕一家酒类零售商商会发布的一则新闻标题展开分析，指出该社会调查在统计方法上所存在的问题。因此D 项正确。

42．C

【解析】理解题。根据文中作者所述的内容可知，同意参加网上调查的人们是网络用户，但是并非所有的青少年都是这样（同样，真正花时间来完成这类调查的人也许更可能是活跃的或资深的网络用户）。另外，批发商商会询问被调查者们是否认识一位曾在网上购买过酒的青少年，约 12％的人的回答是肯定的。从这种统计数据中做出推断是很荒谬的。因为一位购买者能被很多人所认识，而统计数字是不能重复计算的。因此可以说报告存在抽样和统计方法方面的问题。因此 C 项正确。

43．B

【解析】词汇题。extrapolate 意为“推断，推知”。四个选项中，Conduct 意为“引导，管理”；Infer 意为“推断”；Deduct 意为“扣除，演绎”；Whittle 意为“削减，损害”。根据题意可知，B 项为正确答案。

44．B

【解析】理解题。从文中的内容可知：假设受调查者代表了年龄在 14 到 20岁的使用网络的所有美国青少年——而不仅仅是因为有时间和兴趣参加网上调查的那些人——调查者得出结论有 551 000 人在网上购酒。但是这个数字与报道中的“数百万的未成年人”还是有很大差距的。为了证实那个标题，批发商商会又将注意力集中在调查的另一部分。即作者是在暗示批发商商会进行的这次调查在统计上是可疑的。因此 B 项为正确答案。

45．A

【解析】细节题。从文中的内容可知，对于发起者来说，首先要考虑问题的起源。委托该项调查的商会长久以来一直反对扩大酒类饮品的网上销售，商会的成员是与网上酒类饮品销售者相竞争的地方酒类饮品批发商。一些新闻报道指出了那种利益冲突，尽管报道并没有深究这些数字是怎样得来的。从中可知A 项为正确答案。

全文参考译文一个酒类饮品零售商商会发布了一则新闻，其警示性标题为：“兰德梅克的调查显示，

数百万的未成年人在网上买酒。”来自美国葡萄酒和烈酒批发商商会的消息引起了广大媒体的关注。在美国国家广播公

司的《今日秀》节目中，莉·汤普森说道：“根据最新的一项网上调查显示，1／10 的青少年会有一个未成年朋友通过网络订购啤酒、葡萄酒或烈酒。超过 1／3 的青少年认为他们这么做很容易，几乎一半的青少年认为他们不会被抓住。”有几家报纸刊登了这项调查，包括《今日美国》和《新泽西时报》。这则新闻甚至在《澳大利亚黄金海岸公报》上也登了出来。

数百万的未成年人真的正在网上买烈酒吗？为了得出那个刺耳的标题，该商会利用有逻辑问题的调查推出结论，而该调查倾向于得出较大的网上购买者数目。

对于发起者来说，首先要考虑问题的起源。委托该项调查的商会长久以来一直反对扩大酒类饮品的网上销售，商会的成员是与网上酒类饮品销售者相竞争的地方酒类饮品批发商。一些新闻报道指出了那种利益冲突，尽管报道并没有深究这些数字是怎样得来的。美国葡萄酒和烈酒批发商商会雇了一家青少年调查公司来谋划这项调查。该青少年调

查公司转而又雇了圣迭戈民意测验公司——Luth调查公司，这家调查公司通过发放问题的方式对 1 001名 14 到 20岁的青少人进行了网上调查。Luth调查公司通过给被调查人在网上做广告或给予小额现金奖励的方式来使人们参与调查，而小的调查所付费用通常不会超过5美元。按照定义，同意参加网上调查的人们是网络用户，但是并非所有的青少年都是这样

（同样，真正花时间来完成这类调查的人也许更可能是活跃的或资深的网络用户）。可以有把握地说，经常使用网络的孩子比那些不经常使用网络的孩子在网上购物的可能性更大青少年调查公司告诉我它的调查结果是根据被调查者的年龄、性别、种族和地理位置进行权衡的，但是还没办法根据网络资源的使用范围因素进行调整。

不管怎样，经过权衡各种影响因素后，这项调查发现在 1 001名受调查者当中，有56％的人是酒类饮品的消费者，但只有 2.1％的人在网上购买过酒。我们来做一个不是很准确的假设，即受调查者代表了年龄在 14 到 20岁的使用网络的所有美国青少年——而不仅仅是因为有时间和兴趣参加网上调查的那些人——调查者得出结论有 551 000 人在网上购酒。

但是这个数字与报道中的“数百万的未成年人”还是有很大差距的。为了证实那个标题，批发商集团又将注意力集中在调查的另一部分，即询问被调查者们是否认识一位曾在网上购买过酒的青少年，约 12％的人的回答是肯定的。当然，从这种统计数据中做出推断是很荒谬的。因为一位购买者能被很多人所认识，而统计数字是不能重复计算的。我们设想一下，一个中学里有 1 000名学生，有 20名学生在网上买过酒，而有 100名学生认识这 20

位购买者。如果对学校里的 100名学生进行随机调查，你会发现有 2名学生在网上买过酒，而有 10名学生认识这两个在网上买过酒的学生，但那仍然说明只有 2名购买者，而不是 10

名。（何况还有一个事实是，你知道某人在网上订过啤酒和你自己订六罐啤酒是完全不同的。）

批发商商会的女发言人凯文·格雷沃斯·爱洛特告诉我“数据是真实的”，问题应归因于青少年调查公司的调查方法。当我问她实施网上调查存在的潜在问题时，她说手段是调查的力量之一，“我们确实想了解一下网上青少年的数量”。

Nahme Chokeir 是圣迭戈 Luth调查公司客户服务部的副经理，他告诉我他的一些网上座谈小组来源于口头传播，这样就不必倾向于资深的网络用户。他还补充道，一些客户设计调查时决定通过使用网络来筛选被调查者，尽管青少年调查公司没有这样做。迈克尔·伍德是青少年调查公司的副经理，我问他一个人是否能说——像酒类饮品批发

商商会说的那样——几百万的青少年在网上购买过酒。他回答说：“不能”。他又补充说：“这是他们发布的新闻。”

48．B

【解析】理解题。根据文中的内容可知，作者认为旅店女老板的装扮俗不可耐，而他的

朋友亚瑟在那里待了三天后对伦敦的描述是：“所有的都是毛皮外套，里面什么都没有。”因此 B 项“易受外界抨击”正确。

49．A

【解析】理解题。根据文中的内容可知，作者和他的朋友的房间并不比顶楼大多少，四周是斑驳的墙壁。有一个褪了色的水池，水管整夜响个不停，摆放的几件家具会玷污英国监狱局。因此A 项正确。

50．D

【解析】理解题。根据文中倒数第二段的内容可知，日常的隐私和平静可以保护我们不会堕落成疯狂的用斧者或水库下毒者，即一个人需要休息的场所和喘息的时间，因此 D 项正确。

全文参考译文尽管我的朋友亚瑟没有来过英国的首都，但我以前已经参观过这个地方了。我第一次

在伦敦旅行时还是个学生。当时我离开依依不舍的妈妈的怀抱，还提着一个装满了家里做的水果蛋糕和羊毛背心的旅行箱，那时我还没有为南方斯巴达人的标准做好准备。尽管是在战后最艰苦的日子，还是孩子的我们依然能吃到牛排和蒸布丁。因此可以想象得出，当我第一天到达伦敦寓所面对着一盘金枪鱼酱三明治和薄薄一片卷在茶巾下面的蛋糕时，我的心情有多沮丧。而那就是星期天的午餐！

当我终于与那位令人极其不愉快的旅馆老板娘见面时，我见到了一幅壮观的景象。这种景象应该出现在皇家赛马会上，而不是她住的地方。她浑身珠光宝气，穿着皮衣，脸上涂着高档化妆品，简直是邦德街上的活广告。

现在，我们有一个一点也不优雅但却非常贴切的词语来形容英国北部的这种情形，并且这是我的朋友亚瑟在那里待了三天后对伦敦的描述：“所有的都是毛皮外套，里面什么都没有。”再来看一下我们的旅馆。接待区既豪华又引人入胜，休闲室和餐厅实在够破的，就像

亚瑟说的“够彻底”。但随着我们一层一层楼梯地向上走，文明的外表在眼前消失了。等到我们到达房间时，虚伪的优雅和舒适不见了。裘皮大衣没有了（回到了租购信贷公司那里），而我们真正要忍受的是一晚上都要处于这破败的房间中。这里并不比顶楼大多少，四周是斑驳的墙壁。这儿有一个褪了色的水池，水管整夜响个不停，摆放的几件家具都会玷污英国监狱局。但是最耀眼的还是来自于窗外的景色。如果你在这个有着堂皇表面的传说

中的城市后面看一眼，就会发现繁茂的花园在废弃物中窒息，生活中扔掉的垃圾堆放在后门。没有开窗是幸运的，因为所有极其难闻的气味一定会飘进来。亚瑟的妈妈每周都会擦一下后面的台阶，给她的垃圾箱消毒，但是现在亚瑟突然很沮

丧地躺在了床上。“没关系，”我说道，一边把窗帘拉上，“你可以看电视。”这是旅馆的奢侈品之一，在报纸的广告中它使我们相信，我们将成功地在这儿度过一周。其实它只是个略带黄色的塑料制品，上面的一幅图画反复不停地转着，就像一条挣扎的鱼，直到你把拳头对着它。但是亚瑟不会因任何廉价的科技小玩意儿就得到安慰。他确信爸爸会忘了喂他的鸽子，他的狗会因想念他而消瘦，他变得十分想家。在度过

一个可怕的夜晚后——这个夜晚伴随着各种混杂在一起的不停息声音，比如水管、炉门、运输车辆、醉汉和低空飞过的飞机的声音，这使他辗转反侧，难以入睡——第二天的亚瑟看起来像一只患了幽闭恐惧症的鼹鼠。伦敦在他上面变成方形，700万人整夜地责备他，呼吸着他的空气，弄脏了他住的地方，并干扰了他日常必要的私密和平静，而这些私密和平静可以保护我们不会堕落成疯狂的用斧者或水库下毒者。亚瑟不得不暂时离开伦敦一段时间。长难例句分析【难句解析】When I eventually caught up with my extremely irritating landlady，I met with

what the world will look like. Ambition that isn't equal to that unmeaning fancy can be realized by

people with self-discipline and constant efforts. For a family, ambition is also indispensable for

husbands and wives who have common desire of making their folks live in happiness. Especially

when it concerns with their children, ambition becomes more significant because parents are
