Freud’s Study on “Human Mind”

  Most people often dream at night. When they wake in the morning they say to themselves, “What a strange dream I had! I wonder what made me dream that.”Sometimes dreams are frightening. Sometimes, in dreams, wishes come true. At other times we are troubled by strange dreams in which the world seems to have been turned upside-down and nothing makes sense.

  In dreams we do things which we would never do when we're awake. We think and say things we would never think and say. Why are dreams so strange and unfamiliar? Where do dreams come from?

  No one has produced a more satisfying answer than a man called Sigmund Freud. He said that dreams come from a part of one's mind which one can neither recognize nor control. He named this the “unconscious mind” .

  Sigmund Freud was born about a hundred years ago. He lived most of his life in Vienna, Austria, but ended his days in London, soon after the beginning of the Second World War.The new worlds Freud explored were inside man himself. For the unconscious mind is like a deep well, full of memories and feelings. These memories and feelings have been stored there from the moment of our birth. Our conscious mind has forgotten them. We do not suspect that they are there until some unhappy or unusual experience causes us to remember, or to dream dreams. Then suddenly we see the same thing and feel the same way we felt when we were little children.

  This discovery of Freud's is very important if we wish to understand why people act as they do. For the unconscious forces inside us are at least as powerful as the conscious forces we know about. Sometimes we do things without knowing why. If we don't, the reasons may lie deep in our unconscious minds.

  When Freud was a child he cared about the sufferings of others, so it isn't surprising that he became a doctor when he grew up. He learned all about the way in which the human body works. But he became more and more curious about the human mind. He went to Paris to study with a famous French doctor, Charcot. At that time it seemed that no one knew very much about the mind. If a person went mad, or “out of his mind”, there was not much that could be done about it. People didn't understand at all what was happening to the madman. Had he been possessed by a devil or evil spirit? Was God punishing him for wrong-doing? Often such people were shut away from the ordinary people as if they had done some terrible crime.

  This is still true today in many places. Doctors prefer to experiment on those parts of a man which they can see and examine. If you cut a man's head open you can see his brain. But you can't see his thoughts or ideas or dreams.

  In Freud's day few doctors were interested in these subjects. Freud wanted to know how our minds work. He learned a lot from Charcot. He returned to Vienna in 1886 and began work as a doctor in nerve diseases. He got married and began to receive more and more patients at home. Most of the patients who came to see him were women. They were over-excited and anxious, sick in mind rather than in body. Medicine did not help them. Freud was full of sympathy but he could do little to make them better.

  Then one day a friend, Dr Josef Breuer, came to see him. He told Freud about a girl he was looking after. The girl seemed to get better when she was allowed to talk about herself. She told Dr Breuer everything that came into her mind. And each time she talked to him she remembered more about her life as a little child. Freud was excited when he heard this. He began to try to cure his patients in the same way. He asked about the events of their early childhood. He urged them to talk about their own experiences and relationships. He himself said very little. Often, as he listened, his patients relived moments from their past life. They trembled with anger and fear, hate and love. They acted as though Freud was their father or mother or lover.The doctor did not make any attempt to stop them. He quietly accepted whatever they told him, the good things and the bad. Also one young woman who came to him couldn't drink anything, although she was very thirsty. Something prevented her from drinking.Freud discovered the reason for this. One day, as they were talking, the girl remembered having seen a dog drink from her nurse's glass. She hadn't told the nurse, whom she disliked. She had forgotten the whole experience. But suddenly this childhood memory returned to mind. When she had told it all to Dr Freud—the nurse, the dog, the glass of water —the girl was able to drink again.

  Freud called this treatment the ‘talking cure’. Later it was called psychoanalysis. When patients talked freely about the things that were troubling them they often felt better.

  The things that patients told him sometimes gave Freud a shock. He discovered that the feelings of very young children are not so different from those of their parents. A small boy may love his mother so much that he wants to kill his father. At the same time he loves his father and is deeply ashamed of this wish. It is difficult to live with such mixed feelings, so they fade away into the unconscious mind and only return in troubled dreams.It was hard to believe that people could become blind, or lose the power of speech, because of what had happened to them when they were children.

  Freud was attacked from all sides for what he discovered. But he also found firm friends. Many people believed that he had at last found a way to unlock the secrets of the human mind, and to help people who were very miserable. He had found the answer to many of life's great questions.He became famous all over the world and taught others to use the talking cure. His influence on modern art, literature and science cannot be measured. People who wrote books and plays, people who painted pictures and people who worked in schools, hospitals and prisons all learned something from the great man who discovered a way into the unconscious mind.Not all of Freud's ideas are accepted today. But others have followed where he led and have helped us to understand ourselves better. Because of him, and them, there is more hope today than there has ever been before for people who were once just called “crazy”.

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)

  Section A

  Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2.

  Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.

  Many workers who worked in the World Trade Center after the September eleventh attacks became sick. They breathed a mix of dust, smoke and chemicals in the ruins of the Twin Towers and a third building that fell. Some went clays without good protection for their lungs. Five years later, many of the thousands who worked at Ground Zero in the early days after the attacks still have health problems.

  Doctors at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City have announced the results of the largest study of these workers. The study confirmed high rates of breathing problems in members of the building trades, firefighters, police officers and other workers. Almost seventy percent of the workers in the study had a new or worsened breathing problem. These problems developed during or after their time working in the mountain of wreckage. About sixty percent still had breathing problems at the time of their examination. The researchers say they decided to study the effects on breathing first because other disorders might be slower to appear. Mount Sinai says it tested almost twelve thousand people between two thousand two and two thousand four. Eight out of ten of them agreed to have their results used in the report. The new results added strength to a Mount Sinai study released in two thousand four. That study was based on only about one thousand workers.

  Some lawmakers have sharply criticized city and state officials for letting workers labor at Ground Zero without satisfactory equipment. Officials have also been criticized for saying the air was relatively safe. State and federal officials have promised more than fifty million dollars to pay for treatment of the workers. Doctor Robin Herbert is one of the directors of the Mount Sinai testing program. She says people are still coming to the hospital for treatment of problems that were caused by the dust at Ground Zero. In her words:" My worry is that money will be gone in a year, and what happens then?"

  47. What contributed to problems of the workers in World Trade Center after the attacks?

  48. Who had the most serious breathing problems according to the latest study?

  49. The researchers decided to carry on some study on the effects on breathing first because __________ might appear in a later period of time.

  50. ______ are sharply criticized by some lawmakers because they let workers labor at Ground Zero with out satisfactory equipment.

  51. What measures have the officials promised to take to deal with the health problem?

  Section B

  Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). 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 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.

  Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is "Don't!". But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, though the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed. The hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chances of working with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.

  Of course, some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and dull training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of Course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

  52. According to the passage, the main reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors is ______.

  A) actors are very unusual people

  B) the course at the drama school lasts two years

  C) acting is really a hard job

  D) there are already too many actors

  53. An assistant stage manager's job is difficult because he has to ______.

  B) work for long hours

  C) wait for a better company

  A) they don't care if their job is hard

  B) they like the stage naturally

  C) they are born happy

  D) they are easily satisfied

  55. Conie Pratt soon became a famous actress after ______.

  A) learning some lessons about the art of speaking

  B) playing her part in the "Blue Colored Moon"

  C) successfully matching the most famous actors

  D) acting a leading part with a most famous actor at that time

  56. The phrase "once in a blue moon" in last line refers to ______.

  A) all at once

  B) once for a long time

  C) once in a while

  D) once and for all

  Passage Two

  Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

  The home service industry in Beijing is expected to become more attractive both as a job and as an industry.

  Sources at the Beijing People's Political Consultative Conference said resistance to home service work is melting away from minds of the city's laid-off workers. The Conference suggested the establishment of municipal centers which supervise property management, household mending and installation, and house keeping services. Modern city life is creating a need for industrialization home services. This will create job opportunities for laid-off workers, said Vice director of the Social Judicial Committee of the Conference.

  Beijing residents have long desired a home service industry. The demand is expected to drive new economic growth. There are few high quality home help services in Beijing and customers are always complaining.

  In the past, few laid-off workers in Beijing desired to work as home helpers, jobs largely taken by young women from the countryside. At the same time, some city residents have not felt safe trusting rural girls with modern household machines or with their small children. Many people would pay more for reliable house keepers who are more familiar with city life, but they have had no way of getting one, even though the city is home to thousands of laid-off workers.

  By the end of June this year, there were 30,600 jobless workers in the city. Most of them are women in their 40's, who are not blessed with particular skills and who have had their work ethics shaped by the planned economy. Many of them were at a loss when they first realized they had lost their jobs and a way of life they had got used to for decades.

  They never imagined being laid-off by state-owned enterprises; they never considered other kinds of employment. For them, the private sector meant taking risks; housekeeping implied lower social status. Gao yunfang, 44, is a pioneer who is breaking the ice. She sells the Beijing Morning Post in the morning, and works at two households in the afternoon. She earns 1,000 yuan per month. So she no longer worries about her daughter's tuition at a university in Shanghai.

  57. What is talked about in the passage?

  A) Home service.

  B) Modern city life.

  C) Laid-off worker.

  D) Social status.

  58. What does the word "laid-off' in the passage mean?

  A) Heavily-burdened.

  B) Old.

  C) Inexperienced.

  D) Jobless.

  59. Why were many laid-off workers at a loss?

  A) Because they didn't get used to the new way of life.

  B) Because they are too old to find a new job.

  C) Because they dislike being laid off.

  D) Because they think they lost their social status.

  60. Why didn't the laid-off workers like to do home services in the past?

  A) Low salary.

  B) Lower social status.

  C) Dirty working condition.

  D) Too much extra work.

  61. In which ways is home service industry good for our society?

  A) It meets the needs of modern life.

  B) It provides work opportunities for the laid-off worker.

  C) It is a new industry.

  D) A and B.

答案与解析

  Part I Writing

  【话题分析】

  大学生消费是目前家长及教育界比较关注的问题,它所反应的不仅仅是花钱这一表面现象,而是隐藏在这一现象之后的大学生的价值观、金钱观等思想层面的问题。

  【范文解析】

  Nowadays the campus students seem to have no idea of how money comes from, and not to care about their expenditure. They buy whatever they like for themselves, also for their friends, paying no attention to how much these things cost.

  Some people say that it is not a problem for college students to spend much. After all, the society is progressing and the life is being enriched. With the living standard being raised, it is reasonable to improve the expenditure of students. There is nothing to blame.

  For me, it is not just a habit of spending more money; it is a reflection of students' outlook on money and value. The students get money from their parents so easily that they have no idea of earning money with their hard work and effort, thus developing an awareness that they want to get things but are unwilling to work hard for their goal. Definitely, that is harmful. The campus students can improve their lives, but with the money earned by themselves.

  第一段讲述了这一现象,大学生喜欢什么买什么,从不关注钱从何处来,也不关心自己的花销。

  第二段提出了一些人的看法,他们认为社会进步了,生活水平提高了,大学生多花一点也无可厚非。

  第三段讲述了作者自己的观点看法。在作者看来,这并不仅仅是花钱习惯,更多地反映了学生的金钱观、价值观。学生从父母那里很容易就能要来钱,所以他们就不会想通过自己的努力来赚钱,渐渐就会培养这样一种想法:希望不劳而获。最后作者强调,学生提高自己的生活水平并没有什么不对,但要用自己赚来的钱。

  【高分妙招】

  议论文经常出现在六级作文中,考生要注意合理表达自己的观点,表明自己对问题的看法。在论述中,不要仅仅停留在表面层次,而要深究其内在原因,才能给考官留下深刻的印象。

  Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)

  原文精译

  弗洛伊德关于“人类心理”的研究

  (1)大部分人晚上经常做梦。早上醒来时,他们自言自语,“多奇怪的梦啊!我怎么会做这样的梦”。有时候,梦很恐怖;有时候,在梦中愿望可以成真。还有时候,我们因奇怪的梦而困扰,在梦中世界似乎颠倒了,任何东西都没有意义。

  (2)梦中我们所做的事情,在清醒时肯定不会做;我们所想所说的,清醒时从不敢想、不敢说。梦为什么这么奇怪和陌生?梦从何处来?

  (3)【1】没有人的答案比Sigmund Freud给出的更让人满意。他认为,梦源于人的心灵,人没有办法认识或控制它。他把这个称作“无意识心理”。

  (4)【2】Sigmund Freud出生在一百多年前,他一生中大部分的时间生活在奥地利的维也纳,但二战后不久,在伦敦终老。Freud探索了一个新的世界——人类内心世界。无意识心理就像一口深井,充满了记忆和情感。从我们出生的那一刻起就储存在那里。我们的“有意识心理”把它们给遗忘了。直到不愉快、不平凡的经历使我们去回忆,或做梦的时候,我们才意识到它们就在那里。突然之间,我们看到了童年时看到的东西,拥有了和童年时代一样的感受。

  (5)要想探究人们某种行为的原因,Freud的发现非常重要。我们内心深处无意识的力量,和我们知道的意识的力量,至少要一样强大。有时候,我们不知道为什么就做了某事。而不知道的原因可能就深埋在无意识心理当中。

  (6)Freud小时候,很关注他人经历的痛苦;因此长大后他成为医生毫并不奇怪。【3】他了解了人体的运行机制,但是,他越来越关注的是人类心理。他前赴巴黎留学,师从法国著名医生Charcot。那个时代似乎没有人了解心理。如果一个人疯了,或“发狂了”,基本上无法可治。人们不理解发生在他们身上的事情。他们是不是被恶魔或邪恶的灵魂附了体?是不是做错了事,上帝在惩罚他们?这样的人往往被与普通人隔离开来,仿佛他们犯了大罪。

  (7)很多地方直到今天仍然是这样。医生更喜欢研究他们能看到、能实验的人体部位。【4】打开一个人的头颅,你可以看到他的脑子,但看不到他的想法、意见或梦境。

  (8)【4】在Freud那个时代,基本没有医生对这些话题感兴趣。Freud想知道人的心理是如何活动的。他从Chorcot那里学成后,1886年回到维也纳,成为一名神经科医生。他结了婚,在家里治疗越来越多的病人。大部分病人是女士。她们过于激动或焦虑,心理方面而非身体上患有疾病,吃药是不管用的。Freud很同情他们,却爱莫能助。

  (9)【5】有一天,Freud的朋友Josef Breuer医生来看他,并和他讲到了自己照顾的一个小姑娘。每次当他允许小姑娘讨论自己的事情时,她看起来就会好一点。她告诉Josef Breuer医生映入脑海的所有事情。每谈一次,她就能记起更多小时候的事。听到此,Freud很激动。他开始用同样的方法治疗自己的病人。他询问病人孩提时代的事情,鼓励病人讲述自己的经历和人际关系。他自己说的很少。在他倾听时,病人经常会重现过去的生活瞬间。他们会因愤怒害怕,或爱恨情仇而颤抖。他们仿佛把Freud当成自己的父亲、母亲或情人。Freud从不试图阻止他们,他安静地接受病人所讲的一切,不管是好事还是坏事。来看病的有一位年轻女士,她尽管很渴却无法喝水。是某些原因阻止了她喝水的能力。Freud发现了其中的原因。一天,他们交流时,这位女士记起,她看到一只狗从护士的杯子里喝水,她并没告诉这个她不喜欢的护士。后来她完全忘记了这个经历。突然,儿时的记忆重回脑海。当她把整个故事——护士、狗、那杯水——讲给Freud 听时, 这位女士又可以喝水了。

  (10)【6】Freud把这种治疗方法叫做“谈心疗法”,后来称作心理分析。当病人畅所欲言让他们困扰的事情时,他们通常会感觉好一些。

  (11)【10】有时候,病人讲的故事会让Freud大吃一惊。他发现,小孩的感情和父母的感情没有多少不一样。一个小男孩可能很爱自己的母亲,以至于想杀掉父亲;同时他也爱自己的父亲,并为自己的这个念头感到羞愧。带着如此复杂的感情生活是很困难的,所以这些情感都隐退到无意识的心理状态,只在困扰的梦境中才重现。很难相信,由于儿时的经历,人们可能会变瞎,或失去语言能力。

  (12)Freud因自己的发现而受到各方的攻击,但也找到了真正的朋友。【8】很多人相信,至少他找到了打开人类心理的一把钥匙,来帮助痛苦中的人们。他找到了很多人生难题的答案。他举世闻名,给他人传授“谈心疗法”。【9】无法估计他对现代艺术、文学和科学的影响也是无法估量的。作家、剧作家、画家,在学校、医院、监狱工作的人们,都从这个伟人身上学到了一些东西,是他发现了进入人们无意识心理的方法。现在,并不是所有Freud的观点都被接受。但是,有些人跟随他的方向,来帮助人们更好的了解自我。【10】对于那些曾被叫做“疯子”的人们来讲,因为有了Freud以及这些继承者,如今便有了前所未有的希望。

  2. 答案C

  解析:根据选项的内容,考生可锁定文章的第四段。第四段一开始就讲到Sigmund Freud的生平。选项B是个干扰性,文中只说到end his days(终老),并没有说end his life(自杀)。

  9.11事件之后,在世贸中心工作的许多工人都生病了。在双子塔以及倒塌的第三幢楼的废墟中,【47】他们呼吸着尘、烟、化学物质的混合体。有些人没有好好保护他们的肺,撒手而去。五年后,当时恐怖袭击后不久在“爆心投影点”(位于华盛顿)工作的成千上万的员工中,很多人的健康都仍有问题。

  纽约市Mount Sinai医疗中心的医生宣布了对这些工人的研究结果。【48】这项研究确认,商贸中心成员、消防队员、警察和其他工人中,呼吸出现问题的比率很高。研究中大概70%的工人有了新的呼吸问题,或原有的呼吸问题加重。他们在如山般的残骸中工作,期间或随后出现了这些问题。在调查研究期间,大概60%的人依然有呼吸问题。【49】研究人员说,其他的紊乱可能出现得比较晚,他们决定先研究对呼吸的影响。Mount Sinai说,2002和2004期间,测试了将近12,000人,其中80%的人同意把结果写在报告里。新的结果支持2004年Mount Sinai发表的研究结果,而那时的研究只测试了1,000人。

  【50】市以及州政府官员让工人在没有令人满意的设备的“爆心投影点”工作,一些立法者尖锐地批评了这一点;政府官员声称空气相对来说安全,这也受到了批判。【51】州及联邦政府许诺,5亿多美元将用来支付工人的治疗费用。Robin Herbert医生是Mount Sinai测试项目的负责人之一,她说,因“爆心投影点”的烟尘所引起的问题,还有很多人来医院治疗,“我担心一年之后钱花完了,怎么办?”

  Section B

  Passage One

  原文精译

  【52】表演界人数众多,因此,给想登上舞台的年轻人唯一的忠告是:别走这条路!但对那些感觉自己必须表演的人,哪怕成名的机会很渺茫,劝说也是没有用的。一般来讲,踏上表演这条路的第一步是去戏剧学校。通常这些学校只接收有前途、有天赋的学生,课程一般持续两年。【53】年轻演员一般在轮演剧团工作,职位一般为舞台总监助理。这意味着,他要做剧院里所有的工作:刷背景,照看家具,管理戏服,甚至出演小角色。这实际上是非常辛苦的,工作时间长,工资又低。【54】但是,天生爱表演的年轻演员却非常高兴,他们期待着能和更好的公司合作,或者拍电影,或者演电视剧。

  当然,有些人运气超好,没有经过这个漫长枯燥的过程便成名了。比如Connie Pratt,她起初只是个在自行车厂工作的普通女孩。一天早晨她在公交站等车,一个电影制片人的豪华轿车恰巧路过,制片人看到了她,便让司机停车,他前去和这个女孩交谈,问她是否愿意到电影制片厂试镜。刚开始,女孩以为他在开玩笑。随后她生气了,并说要报警。制片人花了20分钟告诉Connie他是严肃的,然后约定让她第二天到制片厂去。试镜很成功。随后她接受了一些必要的训练。几周后,【55】她便担当了主角。和当时的知名演员演对手戏。当然,她也有了现在闻名世界的艺名。【56】但这样的机会千载难逢!

  52.答案D

  解析:本题是个细节判断题。根据题干,考生可锁定文章的第一段。段首讲,表演界人数众多,所以不鼓励年轻人从事表演事业。从此判断D为正确选项。

  53.答案A

  解析:本题是个细节判断题。根据题干中的an assistant stage manager,考生可锁定文章的第一段。原文中讲,年轻演员一般在轮演剧团工作,职位一般为舞台总监助理。这意味着,要做剧院里所有的工作。选项B是个干扰项,这只是其中一个因素而已。

  54.答案B

  解析:本题是个建立在细节上的同义辨析题。根据题干,考生可锁定文章的第一段。段末讲,天生爱表演的年轻演员非常高兴。这表明他们生来喜欢舞台。

  55.答案D

  解析:本题是个细节题。第二段后半部分讲,女孩随后接受了一些必要的训练,几周后便担当了主角,和当时的知名演员演对手戏,然后便世界闻名了。因此D正确。选项A是个干扰项,文中说女孩接受了一些训练,但没有提到接受的训练是“the art of speaking”。

  56.答案B

  解析:本题是个同义转换题。根据题干,考生可锁定文章的第二段,段末出现了这个短语。第二段讲述了一个非常罕见的例子,所以作者在这里强调这种机会并不常见。选项A意为“同时,突然”;选项C意为“偶尔,有时”;选项D意为“彻底地”。

  Passage Two

  原文精译

  【57】无论是作为一项工作还是一个产业,北京的家政服务业都将变得更具吸引力。

  来自北京人民政治协商会议的消息称,城市下岗工人抵制家政服务工作的观念正在消失。会议建议加强市政中心的作用,由它们来监督物业管理,负责家具维修和安装以及家务服务。现代城市生活催生了产业化的家政服务业。大会社会公平委员会的副会长认为,【61】这将为那些失业工人创造工作机会。

  北京市民早就期望能有家政服务业,这种需求有望带动新一轮的经济增长。【61】目前,消费者一直抱怨北京缺乏高质量的家政服务。

  过去,很少有下岗工人愿意做家政服务方面的工作,这样的工作大部分由来自农村的年轻妇女来做。同时,一些城市居民对农村女孩不太放心,总感觉由她们来使用现代化的家庭电器或者照顾孩子不安全。很多人更愿意多付钱找一个对城市生活熟悉的、可靠的家政服务人员,【58】但是在这个有数以千计的下岗工人的城市,他们却找不到一个想要的人。

  【58】本年六月底,市失业人口已达30600人,其中大部分是四十多岁的妇女。他们没有特别的技能,却有计划经济培养出来的工作道德。【60】当他们第一次意识到自己失业了,告别了已过了几十年的生活方式的时候,他们感到很茫然。

  他们从来没想到会从国有企业下岗,也从未考虑过其他的职业。【59】对他们来讲,私企意味着冒险;家政服务暗示较低的社会地位。现年四十四岁的高云芳是第一个吃螃蟹的人,她早晨卖《北京早报》;下午在两家做家务,每月可以挣到1000元。这样她不必再担心正在上海上大学的女儿的学费问题了。

  57.答案A

  解析:本题是个主旨题。本篇文章一开始,就提及文章主题,那就是家政服务。

  58.答案D

  解析:本题是个同义转换题。考生可能对此词非常熟悉,laid-off和jobless同义,意为“失业”。如果不熟悉,可锁定文章的第四段和第五段,第四段段末用到laid-off,而第五段段首用jobless,由此可以判断两词是同义词。

  59.答案A

  解析:本题是个细节题。根据题干,考生可锁定文章的第五段。下岗职工感到茫然的原因是,他们第一次意识到要和原来的生活方式分开,过一种全新的生活。

  60.答案B

  解析:本题是个细节题。根据题干,考生可锁定文章的第六段。他们从未考虑过其他职业,家政服务暗示较低的社会地位。由此判断B为正确选项。

  61.答案D

  解析:本题是个建立在细节上的主旨题。文章的第二段和第三段讲到了家政业给中国经济带来的好处,一是提供了很多就业机会;二是满足了现代城市生活的需求。

  Part V Cloze

  原文精译

  我们会大笑,我们会伤心,我们会犯错,我们会做梦,这就是生活。它是个旅程。请遵循如下原则,把人生的旅程变成一个快乐的旅程吧!

  新的研究结果发现,在寒冷的季节,保持积极的心态是抵抗疾病的最好方法。

  在一个实验里,身体健康的志愿者被置于感冒或流感病毒中。研究人员发现,性情阳光的人得病的可能性较小。这些结果发表在《身心医学》期刊上,并为以下观点提供了新证据:“积极向上的情感类型”可以帮助抵抗感冒和其他疾病。

  研究人员相信,这既有客观方面的原因,因为快乐感可以提高免疫功能;也有主观方面的原因,因为快乐的人很少受喉咙沙哑或流鼻涕的困扰。匹兹堡卡耐基梅隆大学的Sheldon Cohen博士是这项研究的领导人物,他解释说,“拥有积极向上情感类型的人,对病毒的免疫反应不一样。感冒时,他们会认为自己的病并没有那么严重。”

  Cohen和同事在先前的一个研究中发现,人越感觉快乐,得感冒的可能性就越小。但仍存在某些疑问,如情感特点本身是否起作用。

  新的研究中,研究人员共研究了193个身体健康的成年人,他们拥有健全的人格,健康和情感类型均自我感觉良好。那些总感觉快乐、精力充沛和随和的人被认为拥有积极向上的情感类型,而那些经常不快、紧张、充满恶意的人拥有消极的情感类型。研究人员给他们使用含有感冒病毒或特殊流感病毒的滴鼻液。随后六天,志愿者上报他们出现的任何症状,如酸痛、打喷嚏、充血等,研究人员收集客观数据,如每天的粘液排量。通过对鼻子不适状况的客观检测,Cohen和同事发现,快乐的人得感冒的可能性相对较小。

  62.答案B

  解析:此处stay做系动词,后面加一个名词,表示“保持某种状态”。

  63.答案D

  解析:常和介词against连用的名词为选项A中的safeguard和选项D中defense。safeguard意为“保卫者,保护措施”,defense意为“防卫”。

  64.答案C

  解析:此空考查动词和介词的搭配。和介词to连用的动词是expose,意为“使……置身于”。而其他三个动词和介词from连用。

  65.答案A

  解析:此空考查副词。 选项A中的generally意为“一般来讲”;选项B中commonly意为“通常地,普通地”;选项C中的frequently意为“经常”;选项D中的genetically意为“遗传方面地”。

  66.答案B

  解析:此空考查固定搭配,生病的英语表达为“fall ill”。

  67.答案A

  解析:考生要注意,evidence后面的从句是个同位语从句,解释说明evidence的内容,所以用连词that来引导同位语从句。

  68.答案C

  解析:此空考查动词搭配。四个选项中只有ward可以和off连用,ward off意为“防止,避开”。

  69.答案B

  解析:考生要注意上下文的联系。上文讲,“积极向上的情感类型”可以帮助抵抗感冒和其他疾病。所以说,快乐感是可以提高免疫功能的。因此,选项B为正确答案。

  70.答案B

  解析:后面作者列举了两种情况,a scratchy throat,a runny nose,快乐的人不太会受到这两种情况的困扰。而选项A是个干扰项,suffer一般不用于被动态。

  71.答案C

  解析:此句意为:拥有积极向上情感类型的人们对病毒有不同的免疫反应。选项D是个干扰性,reaction强调“反作用力,化学反应”。

  72.答案C

  解析:能和后面的as连用的动词有选项A、C、D。选项A中需要用think of ... as;选项D中translate ... as意为“把……翻译为”。而选项C中的interpret意为“解释说明”,符合题意。

  73.答案C

  解析:根据后面从句使用的过去时态,可以判断这是个过去的研究。选项C中的previous意为“上一个”。选项B是个干扰项,former指两者中的前者。

  74.答案B

  解析:考生要注意两句之间的关系。前一句讲,这个研究发现快乐的人不容易得感冒,后一句讲,仍存在某些疑问。可以判断,两句之间是对比的关系,选择连词but。

  75.答案B

  解析:此处是个宾语从句用作介词to的宾语,这里强调情感特点是否起作用,选择连词whether。

  76.答案A

  解析:此空考查动词短语。选项A中的tend to意为“倾向于,易于”;选项B中的incline to强调“赞同,支持” 的含义;选项C中的apt to意为“有可能”,强调某事发生的可能性;选项D中的subject to意为“屈服于,让步于,易受…….的影响”。因此只有A符合题意。

  77.答案D

  解析:judge ... as意为“判断……为”,此处使用被动语态。

  78.答案A

  解析:此题要结合上下两句话的含义。前一句讲到积极向上的人,后一句讲到消极的人,所以两者之间是对比关系,选择连词while。

  79.答案C

  解析:后面的两种物质包含在前面的滴鼻剂中。选项A和B强调某个整体是由哪些部分组成;选项D中的cover强调整体的覆盖。

  80.答案C

  解析:此空比较简单,文章的第三段中曾经出现过,这里指的是实验对象。

  81.答案A

  解析:考生要注意,while连接前后两个句子,前面的句子强调志愿者的主观感受,如疼痛等;后面的句子强调研究人员收集的实验数据,具有客观性。

  Part VI Translation

  82.答案If I were in your shoes/If I were you

  解析:本题考查虚拟语气。前半句使用过去式与现在事实相反,而后半句使用would have done的形式表示与过去事实相反。考生要注意,虚拟语气中be动词的过去式用were,不管主语是第几人称。

  83.答案only to find that it was empty

  解析:此句考查固定结构。表示出乎意料的结果,英语中使用only to do的形式。

  84. 答案the least of which the lack of water is not

  解析:本题考查定语从句的使用。缺水并不是唯一的问题,可翻译为the lack of water is not the least of all these problems,这里是一个非限定性的定语从句,which指代前面的problems。

  85. 答案on having enough money to enjoy themselves outside

  解析:本题考查动词短语:put emphasis on(强调,重视);“痛快享乐”的表达为enjoy oneself。

  86. 答案prefer to play the computers rather than consult the reference books in the library

  解析:本题考查固定结构:“宁愿……也不愿意”可翻译为prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.。
