How ATMs Work? You’re short on cash, so you walk over to the automated teller machine (ATM) ,insert your card into the card reader, respond to the prompts on the screen, and within a minute you walk away with your money and a receipt. Have you ever wondered about the process that makes your bank funds available to you at an ATM on the other side of the country?ATM Card vs. Check Card As an alternative to writing checks and using a credit card, most major banks have teamed up with major credit-card companies to issue check cards. Check cards are different from straight ATM cards in a couple of ways. First, check cards are also known as debit cards because of how they work--instead of getting credit for your purchase and receiving a monthly bill, like you do with a credit card, a check/debit card deducts money from your checking or savings account. Also, while you can only use your ATM card at the ATM machine (and some grocery stores), you can use a check card at most retailers that accept credit cards. There are exceptions. Some hotels and rental car services only accept credit cards because it’s easier, cheaper, and less of a risk to them than check cards. Those that do accept check cards often put a certain amount of money in your bank account “on hold” (unavailable to you)-usually the cost of the room or rental including taxes and other fees, plus a percentage of the total or a fee to cover possible damages. When you check out of the hotel or turn in your rental car, the difference between the” hold” amount and what you’re actually billed .is released back into your account: This is something to consider when using your debit card to reserve a hotel room or rent a car.The Way ATMs Work An ATM is simply a data terminal with two input and four output devices. Like any other data terminal, the ATM has to connect to, and communicate through, a host processor. The host processor is analogous to an Internet service provider (ISP) in that it is the gateway through which all the various ATM networks become available to the cardholder (the person wanting the cash). Most host processors can support either leased-line or dial-up machines. Leased-line machines connect directly to the host processor through a four-wire, point-to-point, dedicated telephone line. Dial-up ATMs connect to the host processor through a normal phone line using a modem and a toll-free number, or through an Internet service provider using a local access number dialed by modem. Leased-line ATMs are preferred for very high-volume locations because of their thru-put capability, and dial-up ATMs are preferred for retail merchant locations where cost is a greater factor than thru-put. The initial cost for a dial-up machine is less than half that for a leased-line machine. The monthly operating costs for dial-up are only a fraction of the costs for leased-line. The host processor may be owned by a bank or financial institution, or it may be owned by an independent service provider. Bank-owned processors normally support only bank-owned machines, whereas the independent processors support merchant-owned machines.Sensing Bills The cash-dispensing mechanism has an electric eye that counts each bill as it exits the dispenser. The bill count and all of the information pertaining to a particular transaction is recorded in a

journal. The journal information is printed out periodically and a hard copy is maintained by the machine owner for two years. Whenever a cardholder has a dispute about a transaction, he or she can ask for a journal printout showing the transaction, and then contact the host processor. If no one is available to provide the journal printout, the cardholder needs to notify the bank or institution that issued the card and fill out a form that will be faxed to the host processor. It is the host processor’s responsibility to resolve the dispute. Besides the electric eye that counts each bill, the cash-dispensing mechanism also has a sensor that evaluates the thickness of each bill. If two bills are stuck together, then instead of being dispensed to the cardholder they are diverted to a reject bin. The same thing happens with a bill that is excessively worn, torn, or folded. The number of reject bills is also recorded so that the machine owner can be aware of the quality of bills that are being loaded into the machine. A high reject rate would indicate a problem with the bills or with the dispenser mechanism.Settlement Funds When a cardholder wants to do an ATM transaction, he or she provides the necessary information by means of the card reader and keypad. The ATM forwards this information to the host processor, which routes the transaction request to the cardholder’s bank or the institution that issued the card. If the cardholder is requesting cash, the host processor causes an electronic funds transfer to take place from the customer’s bank account to the host processor’s account. Once the funds are transferred to the host processor’s bank account, the processor sends an approval code to the ATM authorizing the machine to dispense the cash. The processor then transfers the .cardholder’s funds into the merchant’s bank account, usually the next bank business day. In this way, the merchant is reimbursed for all funds dispensed by the ATM.ATM Security ATMs keep your personal identification number (PIN) and other information safe by using encryption(加密) software such as Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard). But there are lots of things that you can do to protect your information and your money at an ATM. Many banks recommend that you select your own PIN. Visa offers the following PIN tips: Don’t write down your PIN. If you must write it down, do not store it in your wallet or purse. Make your PIN a series of letters or numbers that you can easily remember, but that cannot easily be associated with you personally-such as birth dates, initials, house numbers or your phone number. Visa also recommends the following tips for safe ATM usage: Store your ATM card in your purse or wallet, in an area where it won’t get scratched or bent. Get your card out before you approach the ATM. You’ll be more vulnerable to attack if you’re standing in front of the ATM, fumbling through your wallet for your card. Stand directly in front of the ATM keypad when typing in your PIN. This prevents anyone waiting to use the machine from seeing your personal information. After your transaction, take your receipt, card and money away. Do not stand in front of the machine and count your money. If you are using a drive-up ATM, get your vehicle as close to the machine as possible to prevent anyone from coming up to your window. Also make sure that your doors are locked before you drive up to the machine. Do not leave your car running while using a walk-up ATM. Take your keys with you and lock the doors before your transaction. If someone or something makes you uncomfortable,

cancel your transaction and leave the machine immediately. Follow up with your bank to make sure the transaction was cancelled and alert the bank to any suspicious people. For safety reasons, ATM users should seek out a machine that is located in a well-lighted public place. Federal law requires that only the last four digits (阿拉伯数字)of the cardholder’s account number be printed on the transaction receipt so that when a receipt is left at the machine location, the account number is secure. However, the entry of your four-digit personal identification number (PIN) on the keypad should still be obscured from observation, which can be done by positioning your hand and body in such a way that the PIN entry cannot be recorded by store cameras or store employees. The cardholder’s PIN is not recorded in the journal, but the account number is. If you protect your PIN, you protect your account.

2． By using a check card, a consumer receives credit as well as a monthly bill when a buying is done.

正确答案：N 解析：由题干中credit和a monthly bill可定位到第一个小标题下第二段第二句破折号之后的内容instead of getting credit...a credit card，a check/debit card deducts money from your checking or savings account．破折号处设题。本题考查有关借贷卡的概念。根据原文中instead of可知，check card(借贷卡)只能从消费者账户中减除开支，而不能使消费者在购物后得到信用或月度对账单，后者是credit card的特点。因此题干的说法与原文不符。

3． When reserving a hotel room with your check card, you have to decide how much money in your account has to be on hold.

正确答案：N

解析：由题干可定位到第一个小标题下第四段第三句Those that do accept check cards often put a certain amount of money in your bank account “on hold”。指示代词的指代关系处设题。本题考查借贷卡在某些场合的使用情况。根据原句意思，由those所指的对象来决定消费者账户中一定钱额的冻结。联系上文可知，those指Some hotels and rental car services，即宾馆或租车行。由此可知，题干中说消费者自己决定账户中冻结的钱额与原文不符。

4． Without the host processor, a cardholder cannot withdraw money from an ATM.

正确答案：Y

解析：由题干中cardholder可定位到第二个小标题下第一段第三句The host processor is...become available to the cardholder(the person wanting the cash)．复杂句处设题。本题考查ATM机的：正作方式。原句首先将the host processor比作为ISP，在后面的in that原因状语从句中进一步解释：只有通过the host processor，各种ATM网络才能起作用，并与持卡人(需要现金的人)联接。由此可判断，没有the host processor，持卡人便无法从ATM机中取出现金。因此题干说法与原文意思相符。

5． It’ s the monitoring function that makes the host processor finally solve a dispute about a transaction.

正确答案：NG 解析：“题干中dispute和the host processor可定位到第三个小标题下第一段最后一句It is the host processor’s responsibility to resolve the dispute．段末处设题。本题考查如何解决钱款纠纷。本段中提到吐款机制中的电子眼功能可记录下一笔交易的现金信息。纠纷发生时，持卡人可索求交易记录。若无打印的交易记录，持卡人可通知银行或发卡机构，并填表传真给the host processor，交由该系统处理纠纷。但文中并未提到是该系统的监测功能使之能够解决交易纠纷。

6． The problems either with the dispenser mechanism or with the bills can lead to ______.

正确答案：a high reject rate 解析：由题干中the dispenser mechanism和bills可定位到第三个小标题下第：三段最后一句A high reject rate would indicate a problem with the bills or with the dispenser mechanism．此处要求填入名词性短语作lead to的宾语。本题考查ATM高拒钞率说明的问题。根据原句ATM拒钞率高说明要么钞票有问题，要么吐款机制出厂问题。换句话说，问题的出现会导致高拒钞率。故a high reject rate为本题答案。

7． When you request cash, the money moves electronically from your account to the host’s account to ______.

正确答案：the merchant’s account 解析：由题干中your account和host’s account可定位到第四个小标题下第三句If the cardholder is requesting cash,...customer’s bank account to the host processor’s account和第五句The processor the transfers the cardholder’s funds into the merchant’s bank account。此处要求填入名词性短语作介词to的宾语。本题考查账户中钱是怎样流动的。根据第四个小标题下第三句的主干结构可知，当持卡人需要现金时，现金的流动是从the customer’s bank account(即题干中的your account)到the host processor’s account；而后再如第五句所言，从the host processor’s account到the merchant’s bank account。因此the merchant’s account符合原文意思，也符合题干语法要求，是本题答案。

8． Be sure not to use birth dates or your phone numbers as your PIN because they ______.

正确答案：can be easily associated with you personally

解析：由题干中birth dates和your phone numbers可定位到第五个小标题下第二段第二条Make your PIN a series of letters or numbers that...such as birth dates，initials，house numbers or your phone number．此处要求填入谓宾语成分作because

的原因状语从句。根据原句意思可判断破折号前后内容构成因果关系，即不能使用生日或个人的电话号码作密码是因为它们均很容易地与个人联系起来，因此can be easily associated with you personally为本题答案。

9． It’s safer for you to fish out and hold the card in hand before ______.

正确答案：approaching the ATM 解析：由题干中fish out and hold the card in hand可定位到第五个小标题下第三段第二条第一句Get your card out before you approach the ATM.此处要求在介词before之后填入动名词短语。根据原文可知，原句中before you approach the ATM符合题干所需答案内容。因为题干前半部分已出现for you，答案部分应转化为approaching the ATM的分词结构。

10． When using a drive-up ATM, you’d better drive close to the machine as well as ______.

正确答案：lock the doors

解析：由题干中drive可定位到第五个小标题下第三段第五条第二句Also make sure that your doors are locked before you drive up to the machine．此处要求填入省略to的动词不定式。as well as短语要求其前后部分应为并列成分。原句中also与as well as意思相同，因此将该句中主谓结构根据题干语法需要变为动宾结构，可得答案lock the doors。

11． The account number is secure since according to federal law, the number of the cardholders’ account printed out are ______.

正确答案：the last four digits

解析：由题干中account number和federal law可定位到最后一段第二句Federal law requires that only the last four digits of the cardholder’s account number be printed on the transaction receipt so that when a receipt is left at the machine location，the account number is secure.此处要求填入名词性短语作表语，补允说明since从句中的主语the number。根据原文意思可得答案为 the last four digits。

They just want to make sure nothing is off track.Q: What does the woman mean?分析选项可知，对话与对签到的看法有关。男士问为什么还要签到?女士回答说签到只是例行手续．由此可知答案为[B]“签到只是为了确认”。女士的话并不表示她认为签到很必要，也不表示她认为没必要，故排除[A]和[C]。

听力原文：W: Hello. 15th District Officer Mary speaking.M: Help. Yeah, uh, it was wild, I mean really weird.W: Calm down, sir! Now, what do you want to report?M: Well, I’d like to report a UFO sighting.W: A what?M: What do you mean “what”?

听力原文：W: Roger, any problems in your Korean study?M: The biggest problem with me is the Korean vocabulary. It really makes me frustrated. The pronunciation and usage put me into great confusion as I keep forgetting them.W: I guess first of all you can narrow down the vocabulary sphere. I mean, try to learn “core” vocabulary, the words with high frequencies of occurrence.M: That sounds

quite reasonable. Do you think I can find in bookstores a book or dictionary where such kinds of words are listed?W: Yes, definitely. Another thing, the first several occurrences of strange words are very important. Words are best remembered if they are learnt quickly with a few presentations. You may not have much trouble in remembering swear words, may you?M: No. They’re very impressive and quite memorable. I don’t even need to practice them.W: That’s it! For other words that don’t have such a strong effect, yon have to make yourself highly attentive and sensitive. If not, later practice and repetition don’t seem to work so well.M: I see.W: The last thing I’ll say is that if you want to remember something for periods longer than a year or two, you need to space the presentations over quite long intervals of days, say 30 days. A more frequent interval doesn’t promise you longer remembrance.M: Really? I have thought every word should be practiced as often as possible within a short time span.W: No. How the word is practiced is much more important than how often it is practiced.M: You really do me a great favor, Teresa.

23．

A．He keeps forgetting the important things he has to do. B．He has great difficulty remembering Korean words. C．He can’t find the most helpful Korean dictionary. D．His pronunciation of Korean words confuses others.

正确答案：B

24．

A．His poor memory. B．His fatigue.

C．His lack of diligence. D．His method.

正确答案：D

解析：What is the cause of the man’s problem?女士得知男士的问题后，就给他提出一些方法建议，另外，将近结尾处男士用的I have thought every word should be practiced as often as possible within a short time span表明，男士认为隔一段时间就进行韩语单词练习和背诵的做法是不对的，因此是方法问题，故答案为[D]。

25．

A．Because they’re quite impressive with a strong effect. B．Because they are not so frustrating as other expressions. C．Because they are practiced and repeated once and again. D．Because they are most people’s favorite words.

正确答案：A

解析：Why needn’t the man practice swear words?选项表明，本题考查因果关系。对话中女士说，不熟悉的单词的前几次出现是非常重要的，接着举例说对于骂人的单词我们往往会记得很清楚，男士接着说出原因：They’re very impressive and quite memorable，故答案为[A]。

26．

A．Try to retain as many new words as possible. B．Practice words at appropriate intervals.

C．Learn difficult words with the highest frequencies. D．Make complicated words simply through repetition.

正确答案：B 解析：What is an advisable way of longer remembrance of vocabulary?选项以原形动词开头表明，本题考查行为建议。女士最后一条建议提到，如果想长期记住单词，比如说一年，你就必须每隔30天就把原来记过的单词重复一遍．所以间隔时间也是很重要的，故答案为[B]。

Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文： Centuries ago, during the Middle Ages, most of the land in Europe was owned by many different kings and queens, princes and princesses, lords and ladies. They did not all get along. They were always fighting. They all wanted to get more land. To protect themselves, they started building huge homes out of stone. They called their homes castles. A castle was built behind a strong stonewall. The wall was five or six feet thick and ten to twenty feet high. A deep ditch called a moat was dug around the outside of the wall. It was often filled with water, and the only way anyone could enter the castle was to cross a drawbridge. The drawbridge could be raised or lowered over the moat from inside the castle walls. Them was also a tunnel that began in the castle and ended at the moat. This was important in case the castle was captured. It allowed the king and queen to escape. They could swim across the moat and hide in the forest. Living in a castle was not very comfortable. The rooms were cold and damp. Every room could have a fire burning in a great fireplace, but until the twelfth century castles did not have chimneys. The smoke from their fireplaces had to go out through open doors and windows. Meals often had ten or twelve courses. The meat might be wild boar or birds that were boiled or roasted over an open fire. All the food was highly seasoned. People even put pepper in their drinks! The people sat at a long table and ate with their fingers and a knife, all picking their food from the same big dish. They had no napkins. Therefore, they often wiped their hands on pieces of bread. When their fingers were clean, they threw the bread to their hunting dogs.

27．

A．Kings and queens, princes and princesses, and lords and ladies built castles in order to get more land.

B．Around the outside of a castle, a moat was dug, which was often filled with water.

C．A castle was built behind a thick and high stonewall, which was strong enough to stand the possible attack of enemies.

D．If a drawbridge was pulled up, there was no way for people to enter the castle.

正确答案：A

解析：Which of the following statements is NOT true about castles?信息明示题。由文章划线句子可知他们建造城堡是为了自我保护，而不是抢占更多土地，故选A。

28．

A．They lived a luxurious life and their diet was very delicate. B．They lived a highly civilized court life.

听力原文： Years ago before there were refrigerators, an icehouse was a building used for storing ice. The first icehouses were in the cellars of farmhouses. Pieces of ice, mixed with snow and meadow grass, were piled in winter and kept until the following summer. Soon farmers began to build separate houses for storing ice. These icehouses had double walls with hay stuffed between to keep out any heat. Blocks of ice were put inside the icehouse and packed with straw or sawdust. Where did the ice for these icehouses come from? Workers took it from a frozen pond or river. They sawed the ice into even blocks. Then they pulled the ice blocks from the water with hooks and carried them to the icehouses on sleds. Special tools helped the

workers cut and handle the ice. Ice axes chopped large holes in the ice. Ice saws cut the ice into even blocks. Choppers loosened these blocks from one another. Ice hooks fastened themselves into the large blocks. Then they could be carried over the frozen surface of the pond or river. Tongs were used to pick up the smaller blocks of ice. Ships carried ice all over the world. In 1799 the first boatload in the United States was sent from New York City to icehouses in New Orleans, Louisiana. A boatload was sent from Boston, Massachusetts, to the West Indies to help fight yellow fever in 1805. Ice merchants in Boston also shipped tons of ice from ponds and rivers to cities in Europe.

听力原文： About 25 million children in developing countries have no homes. So they live on city streets. Another 75 million children live at home but work on the

streets. United Nations Children’s Fund says most of these children do not receive education or health care. The private organization known as “Child Hope U.S.A.” is trying to do something to help these children. The group has many goals. Child Hope U.S.A. wants to halt the spread of AIDS and the use of illegal drugs among children. It wants to protect young girls from being mistreated sexually. It wants to teach children how to protect themselves, how to survive conditions on the streets and how to feel good about them. Child Hope U.S.A. is trying to establish educational programs for the children. It is working with local groups to get their help in protecting the rights of street children. And, it is trying to make international development groups more informed about street children. Some children begin living on the streets when they are five years old or younger. Four-year-olds can be found selling goods on the street comer or begging for food and money. Some of these children have lost their families because of wars or natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. Some are helping their families earn enough money to survive. Studies show that more than one million children live and work on the streets in the Philippines. Seven million children live on the streets in Brazil. About 250 thousand children live on the streets in Mexico. About ten million Mexican children work on the streets. Child Hope U.S.A. works closely with international children’s groups, government agencies and other national and local groups. It has offices in Brazil, Guatemala, the Philippines, Britain, Canada and the United States. Child Hope U,S.A. also works to improve child labor laws. In 1992, Pakistan approved new laws to control child labor. The laws make it illegal for companies to lend money to families and let children repay the loan by working in factories. Yet, about eight million children still are working in Pakistan to repay loans. We will talk more about the problems of children in developing countries next week.

听力原文： Electronic devices are changing the way people listen to music, but studies show the devices may be causing hearing loss in many people. Some experts say people may be playing them too loud and for too long. A study involved three hundred high school students and one thousand adults. They were asked about their use of portable music devices. Forty percent of students and adults said they set the sound levels, or volume, at high. Students were two times more likely to play the music at a very loud volume. More than half of the students said they would probably not limit their listening time, and about a third said they were not likely to reduce the volume. The study found that more than half of the students and less than forty percent of the adults had at least one kind of hearing loss. Some reported difficulty hearing parts of a discussion between two people. Others said that they had to raise volume controls on a television or radio to hear it

better. And, some experienced ringing in their ears or other noises. Hearing loss may not be apparent for years. But once it happens, it is permanent. Hearing experts say that part of the problem is the listening equipment people are using. They say large earphones that cover the whole ear are probably safer than the smaller ear buds that come with most music players. The best way to protect your hearing is to reduce the volume, limit listening time and use earphones that block out foreign noises.

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

Section BDirections: 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.

What produces a waterproof super glue, acts like a vacuum cleaner, and even teaches scientists about gene repair? The humble little shellfish known as the mussel (贻贝). Mussels are found worldwide. Some live in the sea. Others inhabit freshwater streams and lakes. When you try to move a mussel from a rock, you will discover what an incredibly firm grip it has-a necessity if the mussel is to resist the sharp grab of a hungry seabird or the pounding waves of the sea. How does it manage to cling so tight’? When it chooses a place to set up home, it pokes its tongue-shaped foot out of its shell and presses it against a solid surface. Special glands give off a fluid mixture of proteins into a channel that runs the length of the foot. The liquid quickly hardens into a fine, elastic thread about an inch long. Then a tiny pad-like structure at the end of this thread gives off some natural glue-like substance, the mussel lifts its foot, and anchor line number one is complete. These strategically placed threads form a bundle, which ties the mussel to its new home in much the same way that ropes hold down a tent. The whole procedure takes only three or four

minutes. Imagine having a very strong glue that is non-toxic and so flexible that it can penetrate the tiniest holes and comers, sticking to any surface, even under water. Shipbuilders would welcome it for repairing vessels without the expense of dry-docking them. Auto-body workers would like a really waterproof paint that keeps the rust out. Surgeons would value a safe glue to join broken bones and to close wounds... The list of possible uses appears endless. However, scientists are not thinking of using the mussels themselves to produce this super glue. It would take some 10 000 shellfish to make just one gram of glue. So collecting enough mussels to supply the world’s demand for super glue would wipe out the mussel population, many species of which are already endangered. Instead, American researchers have isolated and cloned the genes for five mussel glue proteins, and they are about to mass-produce them in the laboratory. However, the mussel is still one jump ahead. Only the mussel instinctively knows the exact blend of proteins needed for each kind of surface. Molecular biologist Frank Roberto has asked admiringly:” how are you ever going to imitate that?”

48． A mussel grips a hard surface very firmly to ______. A．seal itself from being eroded by sea water B．produce the waterproof super glue

C．protect itself from being blown away by strong wind D．protect itself from being the food of other animals

正确答案：D

解析：由题干A mussel grips a hard surface very firmly to 定位到原文第二段第四句When you try to move a mussel from a rock，you will discover what an incredibly firm grip it has-a necessity if the mussel is to resist the sharp grab of a hungry seabird or the pounding waves of the sea．细节题。注意此句破折号后面的解释：要防止”hungry seabird”和”pounding waves”，故答案为D)。[避错]A)“保护他们自己不被海水侵蚀”，虽然原文第二段”the pounding waves of the sea”谈到来自于海浪的冲击，但erode(指由于海水的生化作用导致的贝壳腐蚀)和pound(指由于海浪的连续冲击导致的贝壳破碎)有本质的区别，B)“制造防水的强力胶水”本句意思符合全文但和此题所问无关，C)“保护他们自己不被强风吹走”原文末谈到此问题。

49． The waterproof super glue originates in ______. A．the mussel’s tongue-shaped foot B．some glands in the mussel’s body C．the thread given off by the mussel D．the channel of the mussel’s foot

正确答案：B

解析：由题干The waterproof super glue originates in 定位到原文第二段第七句Special glands give off a fluid mixture of proteins into a channel that runs the length of the foot．细节题。由该句可知，特殊的腺发出一种流动的混合蛋白质……，故答案为B)。[避错]A)“贻贝的舌状脚”、C)“贻贝体分泌的丝”和D)

“贻贝的脚的导管”均不合文意。

50． To tie itself safely to a new home, a mussel must ______. A．produce a thread to anchor to the hard surface B．draw air and water from its pad-like structure C．hold down a tent as human beings do D．place many anchor lines strategically

正确答案：D

解析：由题干To tie itself safely to a new home，a mussel must定位到原文第二段倒数第二句These strategically placed threads form a bundle，which ties the mussel to its new home in much the same way that ropes hold down a tent．推断题。本句是非性定语从句，which指代前面的句子，也就是选项D)所叙述的内容“战略性地摆放定位线”。[避错]A)“产生细丝铆钉在坚固的表面上”、B)“从他的微小垫状组织吸收空气和水分”和C)“类似于人类搭帐篷”，均与原文不符。

51． Scientists are not thinking of using mussels to produce the super glue mainly because of ______.

A．the possible mass-production of the super glue B．their concern about the cost of collecting mussels C．their concern about the extinction of the species D．the world’s limited demand for the super glue

正确答案：C

解析：由题干Scientists...thinking of using mussels定位到原文最后一段前两句However, scientists are not thinking of using the mussels themselves to produce this super glue. It would take some 10 000 shellfish to make just one gram of glue．推断题。由上可知：不过，科学家并没有打算利用贻贝本身来制作这种强力胶水，因为生产1克胶水就需要大约10 000个甲壳水生动物。故C)正确。[避错]A)“强力胶水大规模生产的可能性”、B)“考虑到收集贻贝所花费的费用”和D)“对强力胶需求的有限性”均与原文不符。

52． According to Frank Roberto,what is the difficulty for American researchers’ mass-production of mussel glue?

A．The gene number that is known is not enough. B．Mussels are much smarter than we think.

C．They can’t copy the blend of proteins of mussel. D．Mussels have an amazing power harmful to man.

正确答案：C

解析：由题干中的Frank Roberto定位至末段末句。细节题。末段第四句提到美国科学家已经分离并克隆了5种贻贝的胶水蛋白基因，并打算大批量生产，However话锋一转，指出只有贻贝知道每一种表面需要的复杂的蛋白成份，Frank接着问到：“你如何来模仿这一功能呢?”答案为C)。[避错]A)“贻贝不能被用来

制作强力胶水”，与文意不符；B)“贻贝比我们想象的聪明”，与最后一句不符；D)文章谈到过贻贝是non-toxic，所以它是无害的。

Before 1965 many scientists pictured the circulation of the ocean’s water mass as consisting of large slow-moving currents, such as the Gulf Stream. That view, based on 100 years of observations made around the globe, produced only a rough approximation of the true circulation. But in the 1950s and the 1960s, researchers began to employ newly developed techniques and equipment including subsurface floats that move with ocean current and emit identification signals for months at fixed locations in the ocean. These instruments disclosed an unexpected level of variability in the’ deep ocean. Rather than being characterized by smooth, large-scale currents that change seasonally (if at all), the seas are dominated by what oceanographers (海洋研究者) call mesoscale fields (紊流): fluctuating, energetic flows whose velocity can reach ten times of the mean velocity of the majior currents. Mesoscale phenomena--the oceanic analogue of weather terms--often extend to distances of 100 kilometers and persist for 100 days (weather systems generally extend about 1 000 kilometers and last 3 to 5 days in any given area). More than 90 percent of the kinetic energy of the entire ocean may be accounted for by mesoscale variability rather than by large-scale currents. Mesoscale phenomena may, in fact, play a significant role in oceanic mixing air-sea interactions, and’ occasional but far-reaching climate events such as EI Nino ,the atmospheric-oceanic disturbance in the equatorial Pacific that affects global weather patterns. Unfortunately, it is not feasible to use conventional techniques to measure mesoscale fields. To measure them properly, monitoring equipments would have to be laid out on a grid at intervals of at most 50 kilometers, with sensors at each grid point lowered deep in the ocean and kept there for many months. Because using these techniques would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, it was proposed in 1975 that tomography (X射线断层摄影技术) be adapted to measuring the physical properties of the ocean. In medical tomography X-rays map the human body’s density variations (and hence internal organs); the information from the X-rays, transmitted through the body along many different paths, is recombined to form three-dimensional images of the body’s interior. It is primarily this multiplicative increase in data obtained from the multi-path transmission of signals that accounts for oceanographers’ attraction to tomography: it allows the measurement of vast areas with relatively few instruments. Researchers reasoned that low-frequency sound waves ,because they are so well described mathematically and because even small perturbations(动摇) in emitted sound waves can be detected, could be transmitted through the ocean over many different paths and that the properties of the ocean’s interior-its temperature, salinity, density and speed of currents-could be deduced on the basis of how the ocean altered the signals. Their initial trials were highly successful, and ocean acoustic tomography was born.

53． Which of the following is TRUE according to Para. 1?

A．Nowadays, scientists pictured the circulation of ocean’s water mass as consisting of large slow-moving currents.

B．Before 1965 ,the concept of scientists produced only a rough approximation

of the true circulation.

C．Researchers began to do research on the developed techniques and equipment. D．These instruments disclosed an expected level of variability in the deep ocean.

正确答案：B

解析：由题干according to Para.1定位到原文第一段。细节题。由该段第二句“这种观点虽然是建立在对全球海水100多年的观察基础之上，却只是对真实情况的近似描绘”可知，B)大致接近(rough)正确。[避错]A)现在，科学家们把大规模洋流描述为大型缓慢移动的洋流。这是1965年以前的观点．时间状语错误。C)研究人员开始使用发达的技术和装备做研究是文章第三段谈到的主要内容。D)These instruments disclosed an expected level of variability in the deep ocean与原文一字之差”unexpected”。故排除。

． The author mentions EL Nino primarily in order to emphasize ______. A．the brief duration of weather pattern

B．the variability of the mesoscale phenomena

C．the difficulty of measuring the ocean’s large-scale currents D．the possible impact of mesoscale fields on weather conditions

正确答案：D

解析：由题干EL Nino primarily in order to emphasize定位到第二段最后一句Mesoscale phenomena may，in fact，play a significant role in oceanic mixing air-sea interactions，and occasional but far-reaching climate events such as EI Nino，the atmospheric-oceanic disturbance in the equatorial Pacific that affects global weather patterns．推断题。该句提到“中等规模现象在海洋的海空交互混合作用和一些偶然的但影响深远的气候现象中起到很大作用，如厄尔尼诺现象．”提到厄尔尼诺的目的是为了强调中等规模现象在影响气候方面的作用，故选D)。[避错]由上分析可知，并非为了强调A)“天气模式的短暂持续”、B)“中等规模现象的多样性”，也不是C)“测量大规模洋流的困难”。

55． It is feasible to use them to measure mesoscale fields, if conventional techniques were ______.

A．expensive B．massive C．effective D．cheap

正确答案：D 解析：由题干It is feasible to use the measure mesoscale fields定位到原文第三段Because using these techniques would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming．推断题，细心的同学会发现题干的结尾单词是were，标志此句为虚拟，而且题干问到传统方法可行的条件，由此要找到与原文“expensive and time-consuming”相反概念的词汇D)cheap是expensive反义词，正合题意。[避错]A)与D)的意思相反，谨记：答案中两个含义相反的选项往往有—个是正确的。

B)大量的和C)有效的都在原文中找不到对应的反义词，故错误。

56． Which of the following is most similar to medical tomography as it is described in the passage?

A．The use of ocean-current meters to determine the direction and velocity of the ocean’s mesoscale fields.

B．The use of earthquake shock-wave data collected at several different locations and combined to create a three-dimensional image of the Earth’s interior.

C．The use of a grid-point sensory system to map global weather patterns. D．The use of subsurface floats to map large-scale circulation in the ocean.

正确答案：B

解析：由题干most similar to medical tomography定位到原文第三段第四、五句…transmitted through the body along many different paths，is recombined to form three-dimensional images of the body’s interior．It is primarily this multiplicative increase in data obtained from the multi-path transmission of signals.推断题。通过第三段中间部分的叙述可知，医学X线断层摄影术主要是通过由不同路径穿透人体的X射线所搜集的信息重组关于人体内部的三维结构，其特点在于利用射线的变化数据来重画一幅人体结构图，这和B)中所说“从不同地点搜集地震波数据，之后重组地球内部的三维结构”不谋而合。故选B)。[避错]A)使用洋流尺度来测定紊流的方向和速度、C)使用格点感知系统来绘制全球气象模式、D)使川水下漂浮物来绘制大规模的洋流。三个选项中专业的概念在文章中都有涉及，但每个句子中形成的N1 to do N2结构无法做到和原文意思一致，故错误。

57． Which of the following, if presented as the first sentence of a succeeding paragraph, would most logically continue the discussion presented in the passage?

A．Timekeeping in medical tomography must be precise because the changes in travel time caused by density fluctuations are slight.

B．To understand how ocean acoustic tomography works, it is necessary to know how sound travels in the ocean.

C．Ships are another possibility, but they would need to stop every 50 kilometers to lower measuring instruments.

D．These variations amount to only about 2 to 3 percent of the average speed of sound in water, which is about i 500 meters per second.

正确答案：B 解析：由题干if presented as the first sentence of a succeeding paragraph定位到第三段最后一句Their initial trials were highly successful，and ocean acoustic tomography was born.推断题。文章节选部分第三段最后一句指出，”海洋声音X线断层摄影术就诞生了”，顺理成章，下文应继续介绍这种技术的原理及具体应用．只有B)“要想了解海洋声音X线断层摄影术是如何工作的，就需要知道声音是如何在海洋中传播的”，介绍其工作原理，符合顺承文意的要求。[避错]A)“医学X线断层摄影术”、C)“轮船”和D)“在水中的声速”，均与原文意图不符，不会是接下来要讨论的内容。
