11.Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese.Write your answer on the ANSWER
2SHEET.
In accordance with the recent study conducted by a group of well-known scientists, differences
in various areas of scientific research have several causes.Some of these causes are completely
results of social needs and development.Others are reasonable consequences of particular
advances in science being to some extent self-accelerating.It can be predicted, however, that
from time to time questions will arise which will require specific scientific answers.It is
therefore generally valuable to treat the scientific establishment as a resource or machine,
which could provide these answers.

参考答案：【参考范文】
In this modern society, people face advertisements every day.Wherever we go, we see
advertisements.When we stay at home reading newspapers, we see pages of advertisements.When we
watch TV or listen to radio, advertisements always attract our attention.
Some of these advertisements are quite beneficial to us consumers.They bring us a lot of
information about commodities.They tell us what new products factories have turned out and what
choices we have when shopping.Good advertisements help us make reasonable decisions in
shopping.
However, some advertisements cause troubles to us.Since they tend to be persuasive and
misleading, people sometimes buy what they don’t really need.Moreover, the products cannot
live up to the standard as they have advertised and the consumers will find themselves cheated
from time to time.Therefore, in these cases, some actions should be taken against this kind of
advertisements to protect the consumers’ interest.

【题干】Section A
6Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished
statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D.Choose the best answer and mark your
answer on the ANSWER SHEET.
Passage One Travel is at its best a solitary activity: to examine, to assess, you have to be
alone and undisturbed.Other people can mislead you; they crowd your impressions with their own;
if they are companionable they obstruct your view, and if they are boring they break the
silence and shatter your concentration with “oh, look, it’s raining”, and “you see a lot of
trees here.” It is hard to see clearly or to think straight in the company of other people.The
perceptions that are necessary to writing are difficult to manage when someone close by is
thinking out loud.I am diverted, but it is discovery, not diversion, that I seek.Travel is not
a vacation, and it is often the opposite of a rest.“Have a nice time,” people often say to me
at my send-off.It is not precisely what I have hoped for.I have a strong desire for a little
risk, some danger, an unfortunate event, a vivid discomfort, an experience of my own company,
and in a modest way the romance of solitude.This I think might be mine on the train to where I
plan to go.
However, traveling on your own can be terribly lonely, and it is usually not understood by
Japanese who, coming across you smiling, tend to say things like “Where is the rest of your
team?” I think of evening in the hotel room in the strange city.My diary has been brought up
to date; I long for company; What do I do? I don’t know anyone here, so I go out and walk and
discover the streets of the town and rather envy the strolling couples and people with
children.The museums and churches are closed, and toward midnight the streets.I are empty.If I
am robbed I will have to apologize as politely as possible: “I am sorry, but I have nothing
valuable on my person.”
23.【单项选择题】According to the writer, traveling companies are a disadvantage because they
_____.
A.prevent you from saying what you think
B.interfere with your private observations

【题干】Passage Two In spite of his love of theorising, the prehistorian Louis Leakey took
nothing for granted and always put everything to a practical test.He became an expert maker of
stone tools, and would use them to skin and chop up animals.Even this was not enough: to prove
that man had to be a tool maker to survive, he tried unsuccessfully to skin animals with his
teeth.
Louis could show amazing patience if necessary, but by nature he was hasty.His inclination was
to get on with the next job rather than do dull trivial matters.Although unsuited to making
detailed excavation and minute studies of fossils he did both successfully; he had tremendous
self-discipline and would cheerfully work all night if necessary.He was never good at working
other people, especially with men, and always wanted to tackle everything himself.
Although always an individualist and happiest in the bush, he was stimulated by company and
blossomed at conferences.He was very adaptable and, curiously, when he lived in Nairobi he
enjoyed such suburban pursuits as dog shows and breeding tropical fish.Not gardening, however,
this have been too slow, and for relaxation he preferred to clean a fossil.
Louis had a great ability to make complicated subjects seem straightforward: he loved to share
his vast knowledge, and however tired he might be, he would respond to an intelligent
question.His finds brought him fame in scientific circles, but his way of talking about
them—and him—known to a much wider public.His frequent appearances on the lecture platform
and television screen in the USA, and the circles about him in popular journals brought him an
enormous fan-mail.He tried to answer all these letters personally, often arranging to meet the
writers if he felt their interest was genuine, and he would go to endless trouble to help
anyone he thought worthy of encouragement.
828.【单项选择题】Louis Leakey proved that early man was dependent on tools because he himself
_____.
A.mastered the art of making primitive tools
B.showed that certain tasks were impossible without tools
C.found it unpleasant to skin animals with his teeth
D.showed that modern man could survive in primitive conditions
参考答案：B
【解析】文章第一段最后一句表明了此意，故选择项B为正确答案。
29.【单项选择题】When it came to more tedious side of his work, Louis _____.
A.executed it to the best of his ability
B.was too impulsive to work through it properly
C.approached it without any motivation
D.enjoyed the opportunity for detailed study
参考答案：A
【解析】第二段讲，Louis不喜欢做枯燥、琐碎的事，但一做这些事，他都会做得很成功。因此，A（尽最大
的能力做）符合题意。
30.【单项选择题】During the time that Louis lived in Nairobi, he _____.
A.spent a great deal of time at conferences
B.carried out research into the fossils of fish
C.found it difficult to separate himself from his work
D.led a normal kind of existence

【解析】第一段第一句表明B是正确答案。
【题干】Passage Three Many large businesses in developing countries have high energy
costs.They spend money for air-conditioning systems to keep people cool and they spend money
for heating systems to produce hot water.A company in the Philippines sells a system that saves
9energy costs by doing both jobs at once.The system uses the waste heat from air-conditioners to
heat the water supply.The publication Energy Alternatives has described this system.The
publication reports on efforts to save energy in the Philippines.
An air-conditioner produces cool air.It works by pulling in the air from a warm room.It forces
the air through a long, cold tube.The tube cools the air flowing inside.Then the air
conditioner blows this cool air back into the room.The waste heat is blown to the opposite
direct out of the window.A technology called heat recovery catches this waste heat and uses it
to create hot water.An American company in the state of Florida makes heat recovery systems.A
company in the Philippines, Electro-system Industries, sells them locally.The company first put
heat recovery systems in housing project for American soldiers in the Philippines.The housing
project has several larger air-conditioners.The heat recovery systems capture waste heat from
these air-conditioners and use it to produce hot water.This has reduced the need to produce hot
water in some other way.As a result, fuel costs have dropped.Next, the company put a heat
system in a McDonald’s restaurant.The restaurant needed a lot of air-conditioning and hot
water at the same time.The new system helped it re- duce energy costs while getting more hot
water.The McDonald Company now plans to use such systems in all its restaurants in the
Philippines.
Heat recovery systems like these are too big and costly for private homes, but they can work
well for businesses that need air-conditioning and hot water in large amounts at the same
time.Goods stores, hotels, hospitals and factories in warm countries all may find them a good
way to cut energy costs.The American supplier says energy saving can pay for the system within
six months to two years.The amount of time depends on how this system is used.
33.【单项选择题】In order to save energy costs, a Philippine company has produced _____.
