19．How would you like an easy way to earn 2，500？All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals．There's a catch，however．You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week．There are no books or television or radio for a whole week．There are no books or television or radio for amusement．You can't leave until the week is up．And a camera will be recording your every move．
Two people actually took the job．The idea came from Rob Thompson，a video artist．He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated．His goal was to raise people's awareness （認(rèn)識(shí)） of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food．He decided to pay 5，000out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week．
To Rob's surprise，quite a few people answered his advertisement．He had interviews and selected Eric，a 24-year-old restaurant worker，and Pam，a 27-year-old chemist．The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide．A camera would record their experience，which would take place in an art museum．
The week was long and difficult．They slept on a hard wooden floor．They couldn't stand up without banging their heads．They ate mash（a kind of food for animals） and drink water from a garden pipe．Their only privacy （隱私） was a toilet surrounded by a curtain．There were no sinks，mirrors，or toothbrushes in the cage．Visitors who came here were warned，"Do not feed the humans．"
Finally it was over，and Pam and Eric came out of the cage．They had survived the week，and they each had a $2，500check in their hands．When Rob Thompson opened the cage，Eric came out，changed into clean clothes，and ate a chocolate bar right away．"It's great for me to be able to stand up．"he said．Pam just changed her clothes and left．After a week of visitors and reporters watching her，she didn't want to talk to anyone．
57．The underlined word"catch"（in Paragraph 1）probably meansD．
A．unsolved problem  
B．surprising wonder  
C．unbelievable condition  
D．hidden difficulty
58．What made it the most difficult for the two to stay in the cage？D
A．That they had nothing for fun．
B．That they didn't have meat to eat．
C．That they couldn't lie down to sleep in the cage．
D．That they had to do almost everything in public．
59．Rob Thompson offered the job in order toC．
A．Make a film about humans and animals
B．Advertise for his experiment about animals
C．Show how terribly some animals are treated
D．Experiment on how long a human can live in a cage
60．What would be the best title for this passage？C
A．An Easy Way to Earn 2，500            
B．Do Not Treat Animals Badly
C．Living Like a Chicken
D．Getting Along Well Anyway．

分析 本文自始至終介紹Rob Thompson請(qǐng)人蹲雞籠來揭示動(dòng)物惡劣的生存環(huán)境一事．

解答 57．D語境詞義推斷題，可用語境詞義推斷法來解．由句中however的語境邏輯可知，該詞含義與"All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals．"含義相反，因此該詞表潛在的困難．故選D．
58．D推理判斷題，可用邏輯推斷法來解．由原文第三段末句"A camera would record their experiences，which would take place in an art museum．"和第四段"Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain．"可以推出他們的一切行動(dòng)都是在別人的眼皮之下進(jìn)行的，而由常識(shí)可知，這是一件令人最難以忍受的事情． 故選D．
59．C推理判斷題，可用邏輯推斷法來解．由原文第二段"His goal was to raise people's awareness（意識(shí)）of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food．"可以推斷他花錢請(qǐng)人蹲雞籠的目的是向公眾表明動(dòng)物的生存條件多么糟糕．故選C．
60．C認(rèn)真閱讀分析原文可知，本文自始至終介紹Rob Thompson請(qǐng)人蹲雞籠來揭示動(dòng)物惡劣的生存環(huán)境一事，因此以Living Like a Chicken為題具有高度的概括性、強(qiáng)烈的針對(duì)性．故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是人物故事類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對(duì)文章通讀一遍，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測(cè)，一定要做到有理有據(jù)

11．It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents．They say their parents don't understand them．They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways，that they are too serious（嚴(yán)肅）-too strict with their children and that they seldom give their children a free hand．It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust（信任） and they often forget how they themselves felt when they were young．
For example，young people like to act on the spot without much thinking．It is one of their ways to show they have grown up and that they can face any difficult situation．However，older people worry more easily．Most of old people plan things ahead，at least in the back of their minds，and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected．
When you want your parents to let you do something，you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it．
Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes and in music．But they do not want to cause any trouble； it is just that they feel cut off from the older people's world，into which they have not yet been accepted．That's why young people want to make a new culture of their own．And if their parents do not like their music or hairstyle or clothes or their ways of speech，this will make the young people very happy．
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say"yes"to what you do．All you want is to be left alone and do what you like．It is natural enough，after being a child for so many years，when you were completely under your parents'control．
If you plan to control your life，you'd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you．If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility，they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do．

45．Whom is this text written for？C
A．Parents
B．Both parents and their children
C．Young people
D．Teachers
46．The underlined expression"on the spot"meansC．
A．a(chǎn)t the place where something happened．
B．by oneself
C．immediately
D．a(chǎn)ngrily
47．According to the text，young people usuallyB．
A．a(chǎn)sk for advice before they really start to do anything
B．do things without thinking carefully ahead
C．a(chǎn)re very strict with themselves
D．think in the same way as their parents do
48．Why do young people like to have clothes and music in their own way？C
A．Because they want to make their parents angry．
B．Because they try to get their parents into trouble．
C．Because they want to try something new and look different from the older people．
D．Because they know they are cleverer than the older people．

9．One sixth of undergraduates （本科生） in  Beijing this year have registered at a driving school．The students，mostly from majors such as business management or international trade，will finish there driving courses within 20 days or so．
Training costs have dropped to，2，600yuan for students，according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing．The price is not really low，but students will accept it，seeing it as an investment （投資） in their future．Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job．But a driver's permit has become another factor．
"In the job market，owning a driver's permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student's competitiveness for a good position，"says Zhou Yang，an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law．
Cars will become a necessary part of many people's lives in the coming years，and it's difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people's time．"Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive．We senior students have plenty of spare time，plenty of opportunities to learn．"
Xu Jian，an official at the driving school，said undergraduates were very able and serious，and could grasp in an hour what it took ordinary people four hours to learn．In this driving school，middle-aged people，young women and college students are the main customers．
To get a driver's permit，a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours'practice before the final road test．
