1.The Medicine For Inflation
For years,prices have risen in China for many reasons.However,inflation (通貨膨脹) has not badly affected people's lives because living standards have improved.Inflation is not an unbeatable beast.In fact,economists from all over the world have found ways to stop or reduce it.There are now several methods of controlling inflation.
Reduce the amount of money being issued
Many experts believe inflation happens because too much money is printed.The more money the central bank issues,the more inflation there is.Therefore,the most important thing to do for any government is to control the amount of money being issued.
Cut down on government spending and increase government income
Over-spending and over-expanding of governments can make inflation worse.Therefore it is helpful to reduce the size of big government bodies,cut down on their spending and pay fewer and smaller subsidies (津貼) to prevent inflation from accelerating.
Slow down the increase of salaries
It seems that giving bigger salaries to workers helps them manage when prices of their shopping are going up.In fact,as salaries increase,the central bank will have to issue more money to pay for the increase.Thus,increasing salaries may not be so good as it sounds.It's like cheating.Salaries should only be increased if workers produce more.
Increase bank interests
Interest increases can make more people put more money into banks.At the same time,enterprises take out fewer loans.Demand for money on the whole is lower.
Keep prices under strict control
Prices can be lowered by setting a ceiling--the highest prices--for most goods and freezing prices on most goods.

63.The word"issue"in Paragraph 3meansB.
A.use      B.print       C.quarrel      D.invent
64.The writer uses"medicine"to stand forA.
A.ways to reduce inflation          B.reasons for inflation
C.something to treat patients       D.prices without control
65.What is probably the best way to reduce inflation?D
A.No money will be issued.
B.Salaries will be reduced.
C.More products will be produced.
D.Prices will be controlled.
66.The article does not mentionDas a way of reducing inflation.
A.controlling prices
B.a(chǎn)djusting bank interests
C.controlling the amount of money being issued
D.improving people's living standards.

分析 文章講述了減少通貨膨脹的一些方法.

解答 63-66 BADD
63 B 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)Many experts believe inflation happens because too much money is printed.The more money the central bank issues,the more inflation there is.許多專家認為發(fā)生通貨膨脹是因為印刷了太多錢.銀行印刷的錢越多,通貨膨脹就越多.可知issue=print,印刷.故選B.
64 A 細節(jié)理解題.文章講述的是減少通貨膨脹的一些方法,就好比藥物治療疾病,所以medicine是隱喻的說法.故選A.
65 D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)prices have risen in China for many reasons因多種原因價格已經(jīng)上漲,可知價格上漲是通貨膨脹發(fā)生的主要原因,可知降低價格則是減少通貨膨脹的最好的方法.故選D.
66 D.細節(jié)理解題.就減少通貨膨脹的方法,文章提到了Keep prices under strict control(嚴格控制價格,即A);Increase bank interests(提高銀行利息,即B);Reduce the amount of money being issued(減少錢的發(fā)行量,即C).選項D(改善人們的生活水平)沒有提到,故選D.

點評 本文是政治經(jīng)濟類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍,做題時結合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析,結合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù)

17.What is your recovery rate?How long does it take you to recover from actions and behaviors that upset you?Minutes?Hours?Days?Weeks?The longer it takes you to recover,the more influence that incident has on your actions,and the less able you are to perform to your personal best.
You are well aware that the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you,the faster you return to an equilibrium,the healthier you will be.The best example of this behavior is found with professional sports people.They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missed opportunity and get on with the game,the better their performance.Imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage.Your aim is to play your part to the best of your ability.You have been given a script(劇本) and at the end of each sentence is a full stop.Each time you get to the end of the sentence you start a new one and although the next sentence is related to the last,it is not affected by it.Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your ability.
Don't live your life in the past!Learn to live in the present,to overcome the past.Stop the past from influencing your daily life.Don't allow thoughts of the past to reduce your personal best.Stop the past from interfering with your life.Learn to recover quickly.
Remember Rome wasn't built in a day.Reflect on your recovery rate each day.Every day before you go to bed,look at your progress.Don't lie in bed saying to you,"I did that wrong.""I should have done better there."No.look at your day and note when you made an effort to place a full stop after an incident.This is a success.You are taking control of your life.Remember this is a step-by-step process.You are undertaking real change here.Your aim reduce the time spent in recovery.
67.The underlined word equilibrium in Paragraph 2is closest in meaning toD
A.An abnormal level
B.A sad mood
C.An exciting state
D.A balanced mind
68.According to the text,which of the following statements is NOT true?C
A.If you spend more time recovering,the incident will be more likely to influence you.

C.As for sportsmen,the faster they can forget a lost chance,the worse their performance will be.
D.We can't reduce the time spent in recovery in a day,for it's a step-by-step process.
69.In which part of a newspaper can we most probably read the passage?A
A.Life-funB.Geography C.Travel D.Business
70.According to the text,what is likely to be discussed in the following paragraph?C
A.An example of the influence the incident has on us.
B.An example of how to live in the present.

18.Planning a visit to the UK?Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS  Big sporting events,concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19Oct.) cost£169.15at Booking.com.A week later,the same room cost£118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid-or you're looking for a big event to pass your time-check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com,which allow you to search for events in the UK by city,date and category.
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train,you may want to find a good base close to the station,but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in.Booking two months in advance,the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22September was£95.95.A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was£75.75.And at Farringdon,a double room cost just£62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London,Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune,especially at weekends and during big events.As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen.Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings.A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile,available for£420for five days in late September,with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE London's‘Boris bikes'have attracted the most attention,but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace,saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around£1.50for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30minutes,or£5per day).
16.The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events mayD.
A.help travelers pass time
B.a(chǎn)ttract lots of travelers to the UK

A.a(chǎn) hotel away from the train station
B.the tube line to Covent Garden
C.a(chǎn)n ideal holiday destination

9.People all want to improve the way they study.Many students say that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem.It seriously affects their ability to study,so do their test results.If so,use these tips to help you.
Study Techniques
?You should always study in the same place.You shouldn't sit in a position that you use for another purpose.For example,when you sit on a sofa to study,your brain will think it is time to relax.Don't watch TV while you are studying.Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way.Always try to have a white wall in front of you,so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you.Before sitting down to study,gather together all the equipment you need.Apart from your textbooks,pens,pencils and knives,make sure you have a dictionary.If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying,store all your equipment in a box beside it.
?Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface.Position your book at an angle of 3 degrees.
?Be realistic and don't try to complete too much in one study period.Finish one thing before beginning another.If you need a break,get up and walk around for a few minutes,but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.
Test-taking Skills
?All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test.Getting plenty of rest is very important.This means do not study all night before your test!It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan.Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.
?Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure.Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration.Eat healthy food too.

13.Life is to be enjoyed.There's no point in giving.up something you enjoy unless you get something back that's even better.When people eat more healthfully,exercise,and manage stress better,they find that they feel much better.The latest studies show that when you exercise and eat right:
YOUR BRAIN receives more blood flow and oxygen,so you become smarter,think more clearly,have more energy,and need less sleep.Some studies show that just walking for three hours per week for only three months is so helpful that it actually increases the size of people's brains!
YOUR FACE receives more blood flow,so your skin wrinkles(皺紋) less.You look younger and more attractive.However,an unhealthy diet,stress and smoking reduce blood flow to your face so you age more quickly.
YOUR TELOMERES (染色體端粒) get longer.Telomeres control how long we live.If telomeres become shorter,cells age more quickly,thus shortening your life.
Besides,one of the most interesting findings in the study was that the mothers'awareness of stress was very important.The researchers gave the women a questionnaire and asked them to describe how stressed they felt each day.The women who were aware that they were under heavy stress had shortened and damaged telomeres compared with those who felt more relaxed.On the contrary,some of the women who felt relaxed despite (盡管) raising a disabled child had more normal-appearing telomeres.In other words,if you feel stressed,you are stressed; if you feel fine,you are fine.
33.Which change will NOT happen to you when you exercise and eat right?C
A.Having fewer wrinkles.
B.Becoming cleverer.
C.Having shorter telomeres.
D.Looking younger.
34.From the last paragraph we learn thatD.
A.mothers will become more stressed if they raise a disabled child
B.mothers don't know how to handle stress effectively
C.many women knew little about educating children
D.mothers'positive attitudes are the key to managing their stress
35.The best title for the passage would beB.
A.Eat better,learn better
B.Feel better,live longer
C.Less stress,fewer diseases
D.Smoke more,age sooner.

10.Human cloning technology could be used to reserve heart attacks.Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged,and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.
With cloning,infertilecouples could have children.Current treatments for infertility,in terms of percentages,are not very successful.Couples go through physical and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children.Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children.Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.
We should be able to clone the bone marrow(骨髓) for children and adults suffering from leukemia(白血。甌his is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.
Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind.This new technology promises unprecedented (前所未有的)advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefit begin.

44.What does the underlined word"infertile"(paragraph 2)most probably mean?C
A.with physical and emotional problems
B.short of time and money
C.unable to give birth to children
D.separated from each other for a long time
45.According to the text,one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology is inB.
A.the treatment of mental diseases
B.the reserve of heart diseases
C.the cure of gene-related diseases
D.the bearing of babies
46.According to the writer,the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is thatD.
A.it has brought about benefits so far
B.it may be out of human control
C.people still know little about it
D.people are afraid of such technology.

First of all,one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services.Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection.Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies.But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created,the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back.For example,the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness.But the recent scandal(丑聞)showed that behind that image,it cheated in business practices.Despite the previous positive image,the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit.Although the image had been nearly perfect,the reality,behind the image has led to tile downfall of the word-famous accounting firm.
Similarly,personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars.Putting out positive news releases,making sure that only the best photographs are published,and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons.But once again,history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune.With people,just as with products and services,image is certainly important,but without positive substance behind the image,failure is close.
To summarize,it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success,whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the"selling"of a person.But image is only half of the equation(等式).What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself--the person or product must deliver truth on that image or there is little chance for long-term success.
