? Revolutionary innovation is now occurring in all scientific and technological fields．This wave of unprecedented change is driven primarily by advances in information technology。but it is much larger in scope．We are not dealing simply with an Information Revolution but with a Technology Revolution．
? To anticipate developments in this field，the George Washington University Forecast of Emerging Technologies was launched at the start of the l990s．We have now completed four rounds of our Delphi survey—in l990，1992，1994，and l996一giving us a wealth of data and experience．We now can offer a reasonably clear picture of what can be expected to happen in technology over the next three decades．
? Time horizons play a crucial role in forecasting technology．Forecasts of the next five to ten years are often so predictable that they fall into the realm of market research。while those more than 30 0r 40 years away are mostly speculation．This leaves a l0一t0 20一year window in which to make useful forecasts．It is this time frame that our Forecast addresses．
? The Forecast uses diverse methods，including environmental scanning，trend analysis，Delphi surveys， and model building．Environmental scanning is used to identify emerging technologies．Trend analysis guides the selection of the most important technologies for further study，and a modified Delphi survey is used to obtain forecasts．Instead of using the traditional Delphi method of providing respondents with immediate feed— back and requesting additional estimates in order to arrive at a consensus．we conduct another survey after an additional time period of about two years．
? Fimlly，the resuIts are portrayed in time periods to build models of unfolding technological change．By using multiple methods instead of relying on a single approach，the Forecast can produce more reliable，useful estimates．
For our latest survey conducted in l996，we selected 85 emerging technologies representing the most crucial advances that can be foreseen? We then submitted the list of technologies to our panel of futurists for their judgments as to when(or if)? each technological development would enter the mainstream，? the probability that it would happen，and the estimated size of the economic market for it．In short，we sought a forecast as to when each emerging technology will have actually“emerged”．
41．What we are faced with at present can be best described as a revolution in__________．
[A]information[B]advanced method[C]science[D]technology
42．The purpose of the Delphi survey is t0__________．
[A]foresee future technologies
[B]influence future technologies
[C]provide new technologies
[D]design new technologies
? 43．Market researchers focus on the technologies that will emerge in——．
[A]5～10 years
[B]10～20 years
[C]20～30 years
[D]30～40 years?
44．Various research methods are employed in order to__________．
[A]reach a consensus of opinions
[B]provide immediate feedback
[C]increase the accuracy of predictions
[D]select crucial technologies
45．The job of the futurists is to__________．
[A]estimate the frequency of technological developments
[B]forecast the significant technologies of the future
[C]prepare the potential market for each technology
[D]adjust the time of arrival of new technologies

The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to apparent abundance．Stores and shoDs are choked with food．? Rationing is virtually suspended，and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries．Yet，instead of joy，there is widespread uneasiness and confusion．Why do food prices keep on rising，when there seems to be 80 much more food aboutIs the abundance only temporary，or has it come to stayDoes it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at homeNo one knows what to expect．
The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great， partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests in North America is now being followed by a thirdI Mrost of Britain’s overseas suppliers of meat，too，are offering more this year and home production has also raised．?
But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by simultaneous rise in food Drices，due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food．The shops are over- stocked with food not only because there is more food available but also because people，frightened by high prices，are buying 1ess of it．Moreover，the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall with the resuit that imported food，with the exception of grain，is often cheaper than the home- Droduced variety．? And now grain prices,t00，are falling．Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to benefit from this trend．The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers．
The older generations have seen it all happen before．Despite the present price and market guarantees,farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market．Present production is running at 5 1 percent above pre-war levels，and the government has called for an expansion t0 60 percent by l956；but repeated ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion program is not working very well．
46．The main purpose of the first paragraph is__________．?
[A]to show the reason of food shortage
? [B]to explain the conflict between the surplus of food supply and rising prices? [C]to show the deteriorating living conditions of farmers
? [D]to analyze the market demand for food supply
47．The main reason for this rise in food prices is that__________．
[A]domestic food production has decreased
[B]the government is providing less support for agriculture?
[C]imported food is driving prices higher
[D]people are buying less imported food
48．The decrease in world food prices was a result of__________．?
[A]a sharp fall in the purchasing power of the consumers?
[B]a sharp fall in the cost of food production
[C]the overproduction of food in the food-importing countries
[D]the overproduction on the part of the main food exporting countries
49．Why didn’t the government’s expansion program work very well
[A]Because the farmers were uncertain about the benefits of expanding production．
[B]Because the farmers were uncertain about the financial support the government guaranteed．
[C]Because the farmers were uncertain whether foreign markets could be found for their product．?
[D]Because the older generation of farmers were strongly against the program．
50．What did the future look like for Britain’s food production at the time of writing this article
[A]The fall in world food prices would benefit British food producers．?
[B]An expansion of food production was at hand．
[C]British food producers would receive more government financial support．?
[D]It looks depressing despite government guarantees．

? Not all decisions are alike．Nor is every decision made in the same manner．Although some actions you undertake derive their basis from newly made decisions，there are other instances when decision-making does not really take place．The latter，according to Deacon and Firebaugh，may involve routine，programmed， impulsive or intuitive action．When you wake up in the morning and prepare to attend class，do you con-sciously make decisions about such things as which side of your hair to comb first，how to brush your teeth．or which shoe to put on firstProbably not．Although you may have made a conscious decision about what you were going to wear to class，you probably didn’t spend any time in making a decision about how to get ready to attend class．Every individual has certain habits or routine behaviors．Although they originated from decisions made at an earlier time in your lire，you no longer consciously make these decisions each time you undertake this type of action．
? Routine plans or actions serve a useful purpose in your daily life and management．How long would it take you to get up，get ready，and walk to class if you had to make separate decisions for each action you take You use routine plans or action resources to make new decisions．
? In addition to the habitual behaviors or routines you follow，you also have certain specific actions youundertake in a given situation．These are called prograrnmed decisions．Programmed decisions are different from routines．Routine plans or actions are patterns of behavioral actions repeatedly undertaken on a consistent and regular basis．Programmed decisions，on the other hand，utilize your past experience in a similar situation．For instance，you know you are going to have a test．Your method of studying for this test will be done using your knowledge of a similar experience．The degree of success previously achieved will be a determinant in how，when，where，and the length of time you study for this test．
Programmed decisions，like routines，are a resource in your management．When the action undertaken proves to be successful，you repeat the same action the next time when a similar situation occurs．This successful achievement，measured by the satisfaction you received，determines when and the extent to which you modify the original decision before employing it again in other like situations，
? Both routine and programmed decisions serve useful purposes．They act as resources by eliminating the need to make new decisions．They also evaluate managerial action．The success you achieve enables you to bypass or minimize the use of the decision-making process．
? 51．People may spend time in making decisions about___________．
[A]how to prepare to go to school
[B]how to have the breakfast
[C]what clothes to wear to class
[D]which shoe to put on first?
52．Programmed decisions differ from routines in that___________．
[A]they can bring people a lot of trouble
[B]they may be used to evaluate managerial actions
[C]they can use the previous experience in a like situation
[D]they are on a consistent and regular basis
5 3．Routine plans or actions serve a useful purpose because they___________．
[A]can save people plenty Ontime
[B]may measure the success people have achieved
[C]enable people to make better decisions
[D]can ensure a good score in an exam
54．People’s decision of the method of studying for a test originates from___________．
[A]habitual behaviors
[B]programmed decisions
[C]impulsive actions
[D]intuitive actions
55．The best title for this passage is___________．
[A]The Furictions of the Programmed Decisions
[B]The Classifications of Decision-Making
[C]The Purpose of Routine Decisions
[D]The Origin of Different Decisions

With a new Congress drawing near。Democrats and Republicans are busily designing competing economic stimulus packages．The Republicans are sure to offer tax cuts。the Democrats～among other things— financial relief for the states．There is one measure，however，that would provide not only an immedlate boost to the economy but also immediate relief to those most in need：a carefully crafted extension of the federal unemployment insurance program．The Senate approved such an extension before it adjourned in November． The House of Representatives refused to go along．It was among the greatest failures of the l07th Congress．? One consequence is that jobless benefits for an estimated 780000 Americans will abruptly stop tomorrow， even though most recipients have not yet exhausted their benefits．President Bush failed to show any leader— ship on this matter during the November Congress．Later，he finally asked Congress to extend the programfor these workers and to make the benefits effective from Dec．28．
? That’s not enough．The way unemployment insurance typically works is that states provide laid-off workers with 26 weeks of benefits，followed by l3 weeks of federal aid Under Mr Bush’s scheme．federal benefits would be extended only for those who were already receiving them on Dec．28．The extension would not cover the jobless workers who will exhaust their regular state-funded benefits after Dec．28一an estimated 95000 every week——but will receive no federal help unless the program is re-authorized．By the end of March。1．2 million workers could fallinto this category．
The Senate saw this problem comin9，and under the leadership of Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Don Nickles of Oklahoma，passed a bill that would not only have covered people already enrolled in the federal program but provided l3 weeks of assistance for those losing their state benefits in the new year．The House，for largely trivial reasons，refused to go along．
? Bill Frist，the new Senate majority leader，says he is looking for ways to put a kinder，gentler face on the Republican Party．Passing the Clinton-Nickles bill would be a good way to begin．The House should then follow suit．One of the House’s complaints last year was that，at$5 billion，the Clinton-Nickles bill was too expensive．That’s ridiculous，considering the costs of the tax cuts that House Republicans have in mind．
? The unemployment rate last month stood at 6 percent，the highest since mid-1994．The country coulduse a$5 billion shot in the arm right about now．So could a lot of increasingly desperate people．
56．According to the author，the proposed extension is——．?
[A]what the coming Congress should reconsider
[B]excluded from the economic stimulus packages
[C]a relief program carefully designed by the House?
[D]put forward by both Republicans and Democrats
57．What does the author refer to as one of the greatest failures of the l07th Congress
[A]The House‘of Representatives did not agree with the Senate．?
[B]The unemployment insurance extension was not approved．
[C]A boost to the economy was not provided．?
[D]Relief to those in need was not offered．
58．Who may benefit from the Clinton-Nickles bill
[A]Only those enrolled in the federal program．?
[B]The estimated 95000 unemployed workers．?
[C]Just those exhausting tl'eir state-funded benefits．
[D]Laid—off workers，with or without federal benefits．
59．Why did the author say the House’s complaint was ridiculous
[A]The reasons it offers are largely insignificant
[B]The Clinton-Nickles bill was too expensive．
[C]Its tax cuts proposal is even more costly．
[D]The estimated cost for the bill iS Just$5 billion．
60．How does the author feel about the President’s request for the extension and its coverage
[A]Short of vision．
[B]Late and incomplete．
[C]Lacking in consistency．
[D]Exhaustive but ineffective．

John F．Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln liveel in different times and had very different family and educational backgrounds．Kennedy lived in the 20th century；Lincoln lived in the l9th century．Kennedy was born in l917，whereas Lincoln was bom more than l00 years earlier，in l809．As for their family backgrounds，Kennedy came from a wealthy family，and he was able to attend expensive private schools． He graduated from Harvard University．Lincoln，on the other hand，had only one year of formal schoolin9．In spite of his lack of forrnal schooling，he became a well-known lawyer．He taught himself law by reading law books．Lincoln was．in other words．a self-educated man．
In spite of these differences in Kennedy and Lincoln’s backgrounds，some interesting similarities between the two men are evident．In fact，books have been written about the strange coincidences in the lives of these two men．For example，take their political careers．Lincoln began his political career as a US Congressman．Similarly，Kennedy also began his political career as a Congressman．Lincoln was elected to the US House of Representatives in l847，and Kennedy was elected to the House in l947．They went to Congress just l00 years apart．Another interesting coincidence is that each man was elected President of the United States in a year ending with the number 60．Lincoln was elected President in l860，andKennedy was elected in l960．Furthermore，both men were presidents during years of civil unrest in the country：Lincoln was President during the American Civil War．During Kennedy’s term of office civil unrest took the forlTl of civil rights demonstrations．
Another striking similarity between the two men was that as you probably know neither president1ived to complete his terln in office．Lincoln and Kennedy were both assassinated while in office．Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas，Texas，after only l000 days in office．Lincoln was assassinated in l865，a few davs after the end of the American Civil War．It is rather curious to note that both presidents were shot while they were sitting next to their wives．
These are onlv a few examples of the uncanny——the unusual——similarities in the destinies of these two Americans，men who had a tremendous impact on the social and political life of the United States and the imagination of the American people．

Questions ll——l3 are based on a talk about the problem of rising population．You now have l5 seconds to
read Questions ll～13．
The need for birth control methods has developed fairly recently，with the desire among many women to be able to decide when they want to have a baby．At the same time，there is 3 9rowing awareness of the problem of a rapidly increasing world population．
This problem of a rising world population is largely the result of improved medical skills，which have lowered the death rate and the same time raised the birth rate by increasing live births and the number of babies who survive early childhood．There is a growing realization that food production can not keep pace with these increases，the result of which is that in some countries people are already starving to death while many millions more suffer from malnutrition．This problem is further complicated by the fact that places like America and Europe obtain by trade and consun-le far more food and resources like oil than，say，the average Indian，thus leaving even less for the people in the underdeveloped area to survive on．
World population is rising at a rate of 2％a year；this means and addition of 70 million people a year to the present population of more than 3500 million．There are striking regional differences in the population growth trends．The fastest growing region is Latin America which includes South and Central America and the Caribbean，while Africa and Asia closely follow Latin America．However the largest absolute addition to the world population is in Asia which at present contains about three-fifths of the people of the world．

Questions l7～20 are based on a report about high style cameras．You now have 20 seconds to read
Questions 17～20．
With its 2X optical zoom lens，3．2 megapixels and the size of a credit card。the Canon Digital Power— Shot$230 camera，introduced in September，2002，might strike some as a marvel．But the company is betting that its new target market of young white-collar women，who have not been the primary buyers of digital cameras，will love the tiny wonder for its look．
Inspired by companies like Nokia，which early on emphasized design in an effort to sell cellphones to the increasingly style-conscious public，camera makers，t00，are now promoting their products as fashion accessories．Canon is among a growing number of manufacturers playing up not only the latest in fancy technology but also what marketers call the“cool factor”．a combination of high-tech features and streamlined，compact design．
In its print and television ad campaigns，the Canon PowerShot dangles from a clothes hanger．“Stainless steel goes with everythin9，”the copy reads．Casi0，the maker of the Exilim，has taken a similar style．Its print ads show a photo of a fashionable young woman in jeans，her compact digital protruding from her hip pocket over the slogan“No visible cameralines”．Now that digital technology is no longer a novelty，Sony is also seeking a new group of consumers，mostly women in their 20’s and early 30’s．And the latest of Sony’s print ads features a shapely blonde sheathed in a clingy black dress，an ATM-card-size CyberShot U suspended like a necklace．“It looks like cool jewelry，and that’s the point，”Jim Malcolm， Sony’s senior marketing manager for digital cameras，said．
笔试全真预测试卷(七)答案与解析
Section I Listening Comprehension
Part A
1．Chinese。本题需要推断。推断的依据是女士在第一个话轮中称呼男士所用Mr Wang，第二个话轮中女士所说的from China及第五个话轮中男士称自己在Tsinghua University(清华大学)学习，这些都表明他是中国人。注意，问的是其民族(或国籍)，不能拼成China。
2．22。在第三个话轮中男士指出：Actually I'm twenty-two。
3．Physics。在第五个话轮中男士回答说：I have been studying physics…，即其专业是物理学。
4．London。在第八个话轮中男士说自己除了在学校学习英语外，I have also studied English in London，并且通过了语言考试。
5．Reputation。在第七个话轮中女士问到了男士选择牛津大学ATS学院进行飞行培训的原因，男士回答说：Because…has an excellent reputation，由于只能填人一个单词，所以修饰语excellent省去。
Part B
6．his rich／wealthy family。独白的第一段介绍了Kennedy和Lincoln两人之间的不同之处。其中第四句说明的是两人家庭背景的不同，该句指出：Kennedy carrie from a wealthy family，and he W3S able to attend expensive private schools。其中and表达的是一种因果关系，即肯尼迪的家庭富有，故他能上收费昂贵的私立大学。题目只是这一意思的不同表达。
7．One(year)。本题属于细节信息捕捉题。独白第一段谈论了两人教育背景的不同，在第六句指出： Lincoln，0n the other hand，had only one year of formal schooling(另一方面，林肯却只受过一年正式的学校教育)。一般来说，对于0n the other hand、however等表示上下文逻辑的词汇之后的部分都是考生的听音重点。
8．As congressmen。这是一道带有归纳性的细节题，需要考生在听清原文的基础上进行综合。独白的第二段谈论的是两人之间的相同点，并以两人的政治生涯(political careers)为例进行说明。原文指出：Lincoln began…as a US Congressmarn Similarly，Kennedy also began…as a Congressman，即他们的政治职业都以当国会议员开始。考生应注意，由于主语是两人，因此在省略回答时Congressman要用复数形式。
9．the Civil War。本题属于细节捕捉题。独白第二段的倒数第二句明确指出：Lincoln was Presidentduring the American Civil war。由于这一节答题时不能超过三个单词，因此省略其中的American一词。
10．By assassination。本题也是一道需要考生进行综合和归纳的细节题。在第三段作者从两位总统之死的角度讨论了其共同点，指出：Lincoln and Kennedy were both assassinated while in office，即他们都是在任上被人暗杀的。考生主要应注意回答的方式。
Part C
11．[C]。本题答案信息对应于独白第二段第二句中的后一分句：the result of which is…starving to death while…suffer from malnutrition，即一些国家的人快饿死了，还有许多人营养不良，[C]与此意相符。
12．[B]。本题答案信息对应于独白第三段第一句的后一分句：this means an addition of 70 million? people a year to…，即每年全球人口增加7千万。注意more than 3500 million指的是全球总人口。
13．[A]。独自第三段第三句明确指出：The fastest growing region is Latin America，即人口增长最快的
地区是拉美地区，故答案是[A]。
14．[C]。这是一道根据对话内容推断对话发生地点的题目，较为容易。首先，试卷上已经指出对话内容是arranging a holiday(安排度假)；其次，整个对话都是男士在向女士介绍旅游地点，为女士选择旅游产品。结合这两个方面即不难推出男士是旅行社(travel agency)的工作人员，对话地点应当是在旅行社。
15．[B]。本题属于细节捕捉题。对话一开始，第二个话轮中女士就指出：I'd like to book a holiday
somewhere in Britain，即她想去英国度假，因此正确答案是[B]。
16．[A]。本题是一道带有推断性质的细节题。在第五个话轮中，男士指出有两种三日游产品，一种是 by coach，另一种是by train，都是inclusive(费用全包在内)的。而后面几个话轮中女士表现出对后一种产品的食宿安排和时间都很满意，用Wonderful回答男士Would that suit you的提问，故可推知她很有可能会选择这种坐火车的三日游。有一部分考生误选了[C]项，关键还是没有听清对话中的细节。
17．[A]。独白第一句即指出：With…the size of a credit card，the Canon Digital PowerShot$230…．即这种相机的大小与信用卡大小相似，因此答案为[A]。
18．[C]。独白第一段谈论的都是Canon公司出品的Digital PowerShot$230这种数码相机的相关内容，其中第二句指出：....its new target market of young white-collar women…．即这种数码相机的目标消费者是年轻的白领女性，答案是[C]。
19．[B]。独自倒数第二句中提到了题目中所说的广告：And the latest of Sony’S print ads…like anecklace，即这是SOny公司CyberShot U这种相机的最新广告。
20．[C]。独自倒数第四句指出：Now that digital technology is no longer a novelty，与[C]正好相反。考生理解了novelty(新奇事物)这个词，根据常识也可选出答案。
Section II? Use of English
21．[B]。考查形容词辨义与上下文理解。由空格后面的only与people he knows well可知填入的词应当与前面的quiet。shy，reserved三个词的意义在整体上对立，所以选relaxed(放松的)。其余三项都不能填人题中：entertained娱乐的；amused被逗乐了的；enlightened开明的。它们都属于动词过去分词转为形容词，都不合题意。
22．[C]。考查副词与句子结构。由空格前后的inhibited(拘谨的)与embarrassed(尴尬的，局促不安的)两个词可以看出，它们在意义上是递进关系(后者表达的语气比前者强)，所以选用even(甚至)。其余三项都表转折，不合本题逻辑。
23．[D]。考查动阋辨义与句意理解。由于空格后的宾语是a commuter train，所以应填入witness(目击，看见)。其余三项都不与train搭配：experience经历，体验；undergo遭受,经历；travel旅行(如果指坐火车旅行，travel与train之间要用介词by)。句意指看一看市郊往返列车就可以明白英国人的腼腆和拘谨。24．[A]。考查副词辨义和上下文理解。由上下文可以看出，空格所在句是对前一句进行的说明。前一句说，“这样做似乎很不正常”，而这一句说“这里有一条不成文但大家都理解得很清楚的行为规则”，因此，它们之间用0bviously(显然)最合逻辑。contrarily反之，相反地；frequently经常，频繁地；practically实际上，事实上(因为前文中已有in fact，所以这里不能再用)。
25．[B]。考查上下文理解。这道题需要考生仔细分析句子结构。which后的部分为code的定语从句，而空格所在的分句应当是定语从句的状语。如果不要这一状语，定语从句及整个句意就会出现逻辑混乱，所以该状语应当是表示一种假设的相反情况，而broken指的是打破这一行为准则，这样句意才合逻辑，故选 if。注意if broken相当于if it(=code)is broken。
26．[A]。考查名词辨义与上下文理解。suspicion怀疑，疑心；0pposition反对；attack攻击；study研究，学习。由前文所述得知，英国人拘谨、腼腆，在陌生人多的地方如市郊往返火车上一般不说话，这已成了一条行为准则。这里说，如果打破这一准则，打破的人(也就是说话的人)立即就会成为——的对象。所以选用[A]最合适；[B]、[C]两项太过，也与前文不符；[D]明显不对。
27．[A]。考查名词辨义与固定搭配。have a passion for为习惯搭配，指“酷爱，喜欢”，符合题意。fancy爱好，迷恋，想像力；necessity必要性，需要，必需品；judgment审判，判断(力)。它们都不合本题。
28．[A]。考查固定搭配辨义与上下文理解。at length详细地；tO a great extent在很大程度上；from their heart从心底里，打心眼里；by all means尽一切办法地。由句意和常识可知，英国人喜欢谈论天气，如果有机会，他们就会谈起天气来。[B]、[C]两项明显不对；说他们“尽一切办法地”去谈论天气显然不合常理。所以应选[A]，指“详细地谈论天气”。
29．[C]。考查动词辨义与上下文理解。follow跟随，理解，遵循；predict预知，预言，预报；defy违抗，藐视，不服从，不符合；violate违犯，违反，冒犯。由下文的描述可知，这里应当是指英国的天气难以预报，所以选defy，指“不好预报”。注意violate虽与defy近义，但其宾语一般是法律、规定、守则等。
30．[D]。考查名词辨义与上下文理解。contribution贡献，捐献；deduction减去，演绎；contemplation注视，沉思，打算；speculation猜测，推测。由空格前的and可知填入的词在内涵上应与前面的interest(兴趣)相同，所以只能选[D]，指天气是每个人感兴趣和乐于猜测的话题。
31．[C]。考查副词辨义与上下文逻辑。由下文对天气预报员预报不准确的描述及空格前一句This may be S0可知，这里应当选certainly(当然)，表示对英国人不信任天气预报表示肯定和理解。其余三项都不合逻辑。
32．[A]。考查名词辨义与固定搭配。faith信任，信心；reliance依赖，依靠(其后跟on)；honor荣誉，光荣，尊敬(其后一般跟of)；credit信任，信用，相信(其后跟to)。除[A]可用在本题构成固定搭配have faith in sb．(信任某人)外，其余三项都不能如此搭配。
33．[C]。考查上下文逻辑关系。由句子结构分析，空格后的部分应当是一个状语从句，作全句的时间
状语，所以选when。其余三项：if表假设；0nce表让步和条件；whereas表转折或原因。
34．[B]。考查名词辨义与句意理解。proposition主张，建议，陈述，命题；prediction预言，预报；approval同意，赞成，批准；defiance违抗，蔑视。由句意可知，这里是将英国的普通人与天气预报人员进行对比。而前文一直谈论的是预报不准确，这里当然也是将两者预报的准确性进行对比了。[C]、[D]两项与文意无关。
35．[D]。考查介词固定搭配。reference后用介词t0，指“谈及…，参考…”，引出谈论或参考的对象。
36．[A]。考查动词辨义与上下文理解。replace代替，取代；conduct引导，管理，传导；execute执行，实行；propose提议，建议。由下一句的例子对这一句的解释和补充说明可知，这里是指交谈双方的问候性话语被对天气的评论性话语所取代，故选replaced。
37．[B]。考查上下文逻辑关系。空格所在句的前一分句说“外国人可能认为这很夸张、很有喜剧性”；后一分句说“值得指出的是这可能对他(指外国人)会有好处”。很明显，两句之间应当是转折关系，故选[B]。注意however也表转折关系，但它用于第二个分句前。
38．[C]。考查上下文逻辑关系。由句子结构分析可知，空格所在句中逗号前的部分应当是一个状语从句，后面才是主句。由主从句的句意可以看出，前面从句应当是提出一种假设，即如果外国人想与英国人搭讪但又不知如何开始，就可以用谈论天气情况作为开场白。所以答案为[C]。
39．[A]。考查固定搭配辨义与旬意理解。at a loss困惑；at last最后，终于；in fact事实上；0n the occasion在…的时候，在…之际。由上一题的分析可知，此处应填入一个含否定意义的短语(空格前的but也提示了这一点)，所以选[A]。
40．[D]。考查动词辨义。stimulate刺激，激励；constitute制定，建立，组成；furnish装备，布置，提供； provoke激怒，挑拨，引起。由于宾语是answer(回答)，所以只能选[D]，指如果谈论天气，最保守的英国人也会对你的话做出回应。

41．[D]。细节题。在短文第一段最后一句，作者就很明确地指出说：We are not dealing simply with an Information Revolution but with a Technology Revolution(我们正在应对的并非只是一种信息革命，而是一种技术革命)，题目和选项[D]只是换了一种表达而已。
42．[A]。分析推理题。文章中提到Delphi survey是在第二段。该段第一句首先指出：To anticipate developments in this field…(为了预测这一领域的发展……)，引入了一个技术预测机构，接着就说明这个机构所用方法即Delphi survey的情况。据此即可推知，这一调查方法的目的显然就是预测技术的发展。而后文对这一方法的说明也可印证这一点，故答案是[A]，其中的foresee就是原文中的anticipate或forecast。其余三项根据文意和常识即可迅速加以排除。
43．[A]。细节题。对应的细节信息位于第三段第二句：Forecasts of the next five to ten years are…
fall into the realm of market research(未来5～10年的预测……属于市场研究的范畴)，题目只是改换了一下表达。
44．[C]。分析推理题。文章第四段指出，该预测机构用了各种不同的研究方法，并且简要交代了各种方法的具体应用。而在第五段最后一句，作者指出：By using multiple methods…the Forecast can produce more reliable，useful estimates(通过运用多种方法……预测机构可以得出更加可靠和有用的预测)，这既是结果，也是运用多种方法的目的。其中的reliable(可靠的)在意思上相当于[C]项中的(increasethe)accuracy(准确性)。其余三项都属于原文中已有的词句，都属于方法的应用而非目的。
45．[B]。分析推理题。文中提到futurist(未来主义者，未来学家)是在最后一段，该段倒数第二句指出．．．．for their judgments as t0…the economic market for it(然后我们将这一技术列表交给我们的未来学家小组，由他们判断每种技术发展进入主流的时间或者是否能够进入主流，每种技术发展出现的几率，以及这种技术发展经济市场的预估规模)。将未来学家的这些工作综合起来可知，他们的目的无疑就是“预测未来的重要技术”，因此本题答案是[B]。其余三个选项中，[A]中的frequency(频率，发生次数)与该句中的 probability(可能性)不符；[C]项指“为每种技术准备好潜在市场”，属于无据发挥，其中的prepare和potential两词在文中都未提及；ED]项指“调整新技术出现的时间”，则明显不合常识。

46．[B]。主旨题。本题要推断的是段落的写作目的。第一段先是指出了一些事实(食品变得丰富)，然后提出人们对这一状况的uneasiness and confusion，并且用几个问句表达了人们对食品丰富、但食品价格反而上涨了的疑问。因此，该段实际上是指出了供应过剩与价格上涨之间的矛盾之处，答案是[B]。
47．[B]。细节题。答案信息对应于第三段第一句：．．．due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food，只是在表达上与[B]稍有区别。
48．[D]。分析推理题。文章第三段第三句后半部分指出，世界食品价格下降导致了除粮食外的进口食品通常比国内生产的食品要便宜(…with the result that imported food…is often cheaper)，而由第二段两句可知，它们价格便宜的原因是因为粮食丰收和海外供应充足，因此本题答案是[D]。
49．[A]。细节题。答案信息对应于最后一段第二句：farmers fear they are about t0…home market，其意就是农民对扩种结果的担心，这实际上是后一句指出政府扩种计划没有成效的原因，选[A]。
50．[D]。分析推理题。由第一段最后一句(No one knows what to expect)及文章最后一句中的but repeated ministerial advice…is not working very well可知作者对英国食品产业的前景持悲观态度，选[D]。
Text 3
51．[C]。细节题。由第一段倒数第三句中you may have made a conscious decision about what you were going to wear tO class一处可知作者认为人们可能有意识地决定穿什么衣服去上课，选[C]。其余三项都是该段指出的无意识行为。
52．[C]。分析推理题。文章第三段对比了programmed decision与routines的区别。由该段第四句后
的内容可知[C]对。
53．[A]。分析推理题。文章第二段第一句指出13常计划或行为对日常生活和管理很有用，然后用how
long引出问句，表明如果每件事都要做出决定会很耗时，由此可以推知作者的意思是它们能节省时间。
54．[B]。分析推理题。第三段中your method of studying for this test是作为programmed decision的一
个例子提出来的，因此本题答案为[B]。
55．[B]。主旨题。文章说明的是人们在做出决定时，routines和programmed decision这两种方式的异同，涉及的是做出决定的分类，因此[B]最能概括文章主旨。
Text 4
56．[A]。分析推理题。文章在第一段后半部分提到了提议的延长项目(the proposed extension)。首先，作者对这一项目持的是肯定态度，用not only…but also…说明了这一项目的好处，指出这一项目是解决两大问题的措施；然后，作者批评了第107届国会：It was among the greatest failures of the l07th Congress(这是第107届国会最大的失败之一)。由此可以推知作者的言下之意，就是下一届国会应当重新考虑并采纳这一项目，故本题选[A]。其余三项中'[B]中的excluded(排除在外的)语出无据；[C]中的by the House和[D]中的by both Republicans and Democrats都与原文不符。
57．[B]。细节题。本题实际上考查的是对第一段最后一句中的主语it所指的理解。该段在提出提议的延长项目(the proposed extension)后指出：The Senate approved such an extension before…refused tO go along(参议院在11月份休会之前批准了这样一个项目。可众议院却不予支持)。由此可以看出，其后一句中的it指代的就是这种参议院批准而众议院否决该项目的情况，这正是[B]项的意思。其余三项都与原文不符，也无法由原文合理推知。
58．[D]。细节题。本题对应的信息位于第四段第一句．．．．a bill would not only have covered．．．in the new year，由其中表强调的not only…but(also)…可知，该法案不但覆盖了那些已经在联邦项目中登记了的人，也为那些在新的一年中将失去州救济金的人提供13周的援助。再来对照选项．不难发现前三项都不完整，只有[D]项概括了这两种群体，因此是本题正确答案。
59．[C]。分析推理题。文章第五段后半部分提到了众议院对Clinton-Nickles法案的抱怨，认为这一法案耗资太大。在最后一句中，作者首先表明了自己的看法：That’S ridiculous(那种说法很荒唐)，然后用分词状语说明了原因：considering the costs…have in mind(考虑一下众议院中共和党提出的减税计划的代价吧)。其言下之意很明显：众议院共和党提出的减税计划耗资比Clinton-Nickles法案更大，故他们认为后者耗资大才显得荒唐可笑。这与[C]的意思一致。其余三项都与原文不符，也无法由原文推知。
60．[B]。分析推理题。文章第二段最后一句中提到布什总统最后终于要求国会延长该项目，并于12月28日开始发放救济金。因前面已说过对许多失业工人的救济将在明天突然中止(abruptly stop tomorrow)，故据此即可推知布什总统的要求已经太迟了。接着，在第三段第一句作者表明了自己的态度：That’S not enough(那还不够)，并详细说明了布什总统的计划的缺陷。由此又可推知，作者认为总统的计划不完善。结合这两个方面可知[B]对。其余三项都无法由原文推知。

61．然而令人惊讶的是，那些最狂热地忠实于逻辑和理性、忠实于冷静地审视“事实”和精心构建的真实的人，不但在辩论时常常表现得极为感情用事，而且在“真实”还没有得到任何“证明”时就表现得极为固执。在句子结构上，it是形式主语，真正主语是后面how引出的从句。其中most fanatically devoted t0… of the truth是从句主语the people的后置定语，而tO logic and reason与to a cold…the truth是两个并列的介词结构。turn out是从句的谓语，其后含有一个not only…but(also)…结构。本题考生主要注意词汇的翻译。devoted t0指“忠实于，坚持”；calculated指“精心计划的．故意的”；before any“truth”is“proved”意为“‘真实’还没有得到任何‘证明’时”。
62．夸张之下是冷静、善于分析的头脑，其严谨令人惊讶，其心计坚决果断，这种情况并不罕见。
在句子结构上，it是形式主语，其后的不定式to find…是真正主语。在不定式部分，underneath the gush是地点状语，a cold，analytic mind是find的宾语，它含有一个that引导的定语从句。在这一从句中，含有两个并列表语：astonishin9…和ruthless…。在词汇方面，meticulousness指“严谨(性)”，calculation本义指“盘算，深思熟虑”，在此可译成“心计”。
63．这种相互交错是如此完全，融合是如此彻底，因此不可能达到纯粹的理性或者纯粹的感性，至少在一段稳定的时期内是这样。在结构上，这是一个由S0…that…结构形成的因果复句。在S0部分含有两个并列成分作句子主语(the entanglement is SO complete和the mixture SO thoroughly mixed)，但第二个主语中省略了系动词is。考生主要注意词汇方面。entanglement指“纠缠，交错”，a sustained period of time指“稳定或者相同的一段时间内”。此外，注意体现出complete和thoroughly在语气上的不同。
64．而且，也许最好是不把这种情感流看作一种有害的东西，其实它连瑕疵都算不上，而是把它看作一种积极的生命之源和一种精神上的能量流，它使我们的整个思维过程变得生机勃勃。
本句的主干仍是以it为形式主语，真正主语是后面的不定式(to assume)。不定式中含有一个由that引导的宾语从句，从句表语由not…but…结构构成，其中but后又含有一个that引导的从旬作psychic energy的定语。在词汇方面，assume本义指“假定”，在此译作“看作”更合乎中文习惯。animate和vitalize是同义词，作者在此表达的是强调。
65．理性植根于情感之中——这种情感是在性格形成的过程中产生、积累并发展起来的。
本题中只含有一个that引导的定语从句修饰feelings，其中含有三个并列的谓语动词，结构相对简单。词汇方面，be embedded in指“深植于，包含于”，personality-shaping指“性格形成(的过程)”。
