Owing to the work that has gone into developing intelligent materials, this may not be as 41 as it sounds. Self-cleaning clothes have now been created, and these new materials provide 42 resistance to dirt as well as water. As a result, they require much less cleaning than traditional materials. The creation of self-cleaning clothes provides an example of how nature helps scientists develop better products. This self-cleaning nature is known as the “lotus effect”. The name comes, of course, from the lotus leaves, which are famous for growing in muddy lakes and rivers while remaining almost 43 clean. By observing nature, scientists are 44 the qualities of the lotus leaves to the materials they have engineered. Because of this, some remarkable new products have been 45 . Among them are special windows that are resistant to dirt and water. A special 46 on these windows not only prevents dirt from sticking to their surfaces, but also allows dust to be easily washed off by the rain. In fact, these new windows have already been 47 to some cars. Even when traveling at high speed through rain, these cars never have to use their windshield wipers (雨刮器). Although we have already seen some practical applications, even more dramatic 48 will be made in the future, and they will, perhaps, change our world completely. Undoubtedly, technology is an important development, and it will have an even bigger 49 on our lives. Part III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, 50 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 51 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business— 52 that the customer remains a customer. 53 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing 54 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost. Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the 55 implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 56 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to 57 increases of between 25 and 85 per cent. In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and 58 never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in 59 profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience). The logic behind cultivating customer 60 is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to 61 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. 62 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 63 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 64 for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market. 50. A. in particular B. in reality C. at least D. first of all 51. A. emphasize B. doubt C. overlook D. believe 52. A. denying B. ensuring C. arguing D. proving 53. A. Moving B. Hoping C. Starting D. Failing 54. A. markets B. tastes C. prices D. expenses 55. A. culture B. social C. financial D. economical 56. A. promise B. plan C. mistake D. difference 57. A. cost B. opportunity C. profit D. budget 58. A. as a result B. on the whole C. in conclusion D. on the contrary 59. A. huge B. potential C. extra D. reasonable 60. A. beliefs B. loyalty C. habits D. interest 61. A. altering B. understanding C. keeping D. attracting 62. A. Assumed B. Respected C. Established D. Unexpected 63. A. agreeable B. flexible C. friendly D. sensitive 64. A. unfair B. difficult C. essential D. convenient Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The teacher who did the most to encourage me was, as it happened, my aunt. She was Myrtle C. Manigault, the wife of my mother’s brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey. During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldn’t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre not just children’s theatre but adult comedies and dramas—and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed. My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and I’ll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel through her. Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”. My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage social activities—and it did—but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs. Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favorite niece”. Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil w ho has crossed her path. 65. Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author during her childhood and youth? A. She lent her some serious classics. B. She cultivated her taste for music. C. She discovered her talent for dancing. D. She introduced her to adult plays. 66. What does Archy and Mehitabel in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. A book of great fun. B. A writer of high fame. C. A serious masterpiece. D. A heartbreaking play. 67. Aunt Myrtle recommended the author to a newspaper editor mainly to ________. A. develop her capabilities for writing B. give her a chance to collect material C. involve her in teenage social activities D. offer her a series of writing jobs 68. We can conclude from the passage that Aunt Myrtle was a teacher who ________. A. trained pupils to be diligent and well-disciplined B. gave pupils confidence in exploiting their potential C. emphasized what was practical or possible for pupils. D. helped pupils overcome difficulties in learning B Humpback whales are sometimes called performers of the ocean. This is because they can make impressive movements when they dive. The name “humpback”, which is the common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whale’s back forms as it dives. Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement, known as a breach. During breaching the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap. A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach. A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of Quick Facts Size: 14m~18m in length 30~50 tons in weight Living Open ocean and shallow coastline waters Environment: From warm tropical ( 热 带 的 ) waters, where they breed, to cold polar waters, where they eat. Diet: Shellfish, plants and fish of small size Hunting: Sometimes in groups, in which several whales form a circle under the water, blowing bubbles that form a “net” around a school of 69. According to Quick Facts, a humpback whale ________. A. cannot survive in waters near the shore B. doesn’t live in the same waters all the time C. lives mainly on underwater plants D. prefers to work alone when hunting food 70. To make a breach, a humpback whale must ________. A. use its tail flukes to leap out of the water B. twist its body sideways to jump high. C. blow two streams of water D. communicate with a group of humpbacks. 71. From the passage we can learn that a humpback whale ________. A. has its unique markings on it tail flukes B. has black and white fingerprints C. gets its name from the way it hunts D. is a great performer due to its songs C Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archeologists (考古学 家) says. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance. the water through two blowholes which are located near the top of the head. It blows a double stream of water that can rise up to 4 meters above the water. The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about two-thirds of the way down its back. Other distinguishing features include large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body length, and unique black and white spots on the underside of the tail flukes. These markings are like fingerprints: no two are the same. Humpback whales live in large groups. They communicate with each other through complex “songs”. fish. The fish are then forced up to the surface in a concentrated mass. Current state: Endangered; it is estimated that there are about 5000~7000 humpback whales worldwide. “Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or a further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write. The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground. The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed. Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it. Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said: “Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.” The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept. 72. According to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because ________. A. it is only a temporary measure on the human remains B. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research C. it was introduced by the government without their knowledge D. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains 73. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time. B. Human remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh. C. Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time. D. Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed. 74. What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains? A. The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remains. B. The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857. C. The law on human remains hasn’t changed in recent decades. D. The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law. 75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands. B. Research time should be extended, scientists require. C. Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say. D. Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archeologists warn. Section C Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. Manufacturing industry in information economy B. News in the age of information C. Argument about individual accounts and their reliability D. Be your own investigative journalist E. Don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers F. Information is presented in an entertaining way 76. ______ With the arrival of the age of “information economy”, intellectual work is becoming a more important source of wealth than manufacturing. Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their information. So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them. A lot of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for journalists. In the information age, journalists spend their time, not investigating, but passing on the words of a spokesperson. 77. ______ There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper’s owner, Lord Copper. The editors can never disagree with him. When he’s right about something they answer “definitely”, and when he’s wrong they say “to some extent, Lord Copper.” It seems reasonable to suppose that, in the real world, the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for them. 78. ______ In countries where the news is not officially controlled, it may be provided by commercial organizations who depend on advertising. The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience ratings. I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting pictures to show. In Britain, we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment. There is progressively less room for historical background, or statistics, which are harder to present as a sensational story. 79. ______ There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for recording sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want. People around the world will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the widely-accepted news-gatherers on equal terms. But what it will mean also is that we’ll be subjected to a still greater amount of nonsense and lies. Any web log may contain the latest information of the year, or equally, a made-up story that you will never be able to check. 80. ______ Maybe the time has come to do something about it, and I don’t just mean changing your choice of TV channel or newspaper. In a world where everyone wants you to listen to their version, you only have two choices: switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can trust. The investigative journalist of the future is everyone who wants to know the truth. Section D Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Sociologists have long recognized that organizations of less than 200 individuals can operate through the free flow of information among the members. Once their size goes beyond this figure, the organizations are getting less flexible. So it seems necessary to prevent total disorder resulting from failures of communication. One solution to this problem would, of course, be to structure large organizations into smaller units of a size that can act as a group. By allowing these groups to build reliance on each other, larger organizations can be built up. However, merely having groups of, say, 150 will never of itself be a complete solution to the problems of the organization. Something else is needed: the people involved must be able to build direct personal relationships. To allow free flow of information, they have to be able to communicate with each other in a casual way. Maintaining too formal a structure of relationships inevitably prevents the way a system works. The importance of this was drawn to my attention two years ago by the case of a TV station. Whether by chance or by design, it so happened that there were almost exactly 150 people in the station. The whole process worked very smoothly as an organization for many years until they were moved into purpose-built accommodation. Then, for no apparent reason, the work seemed to be more difficult to do, not to say less satisfying. It was some time before they work out what the problem was. It turn out that, when the architects were designing the new building, they decided that the coffee room where everyone ate their sandwiches at lunch times was an unnecessary luxury and so did away with it. And with that, they accidentally destroyed the close social networks that strengthened the whole organization. What had apparently been happening was that, as people gathered informally over their sandwiches in the coffee room, useful information was casually being exchanged. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.) 81. What size of an organization may lead to communication failures? 82. What are the two solutions to the communication problem within a large organization? 83. After the TV station moved into new accommodation, its operation _____________________. 84. From the case of the TV station, we can conclude it is ________________________________ that make(s) an organization more successful. 第二卷 注意事项：1. 用钢笔或圆珠笔直接答在试卷上。 2. 答卷前将密封线内的项目填写清楚。 Part I.

This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard. The most obvious goal of a college educationer is to give knowledge, but it is far from the most important. Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your memory for many years, and some of those that do might be proved false by new knowledge. At Harvard, we have looked to other things we can give that will last a little longer. Among these things are certain habits of mind, such as the ability to have more critical analysis, to make more accurate and logical use of information and so forth. In addition to these habits of thought, it is our hope that we can help you develop certain attitudes of mind like a willingness to accept uncertainty and the lack of definite truth. Beyond providing these qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of leisure time which can be cultivated in the classroom. Yet, the cultivation of this ability will also occur outside of the classroom, for example, on sports fields, in music rooms, and so on. Question: 14. Which of the following is regarded as the most important at Harvard? 15. Which quality mentioned below can be cultivated both inside and outside the classroom? 16.

So what would you like to complain about? M: Actually two things. First, the restaurant dumps its rubbish on the street and you can imagine what that attracts—rats! W: Right! I’ve got that! And the second problem? M: The restaurant doesn’t put bottles and cans in recycling bins. It’s not responsible. W: Got it! What’s the address of the sea food restaurant? M: It’s 449 Shanghai Street.

W: Um… M: They say that short term memory lasts only a few seconds. So you just sort of read something and you remember the beginning of the sentence just until you get to the end of the sentence. W: Um… M: And then medium term memory. The example they give is something like trying to remember that you’ve got to buy bread. W: Like a sort of a shopping list of things to do? M: Yeah! After you buy bread, you don’t need to store that memory. So it’s erased. W: Just sort of a day-to-day management. M: Eh…then long-term memory.

Reading Comprehension 41-45 BIHCA 46-49 FGJE 【答案】 50. B 51. C 52. B 53. D 54. A 55. C 56. D 57. C 58. A 59. B 60. B 61. C 62. C 63. D 64. B 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇社会文化类的议论文，主要议论如果不能挽留公司顾客给公司带 来的影响，以及稳定公司顾客会给公司带来的好处。 【解析】 50. 本题考查上下文连接及词组。in particular 指尤其；in reality 指事实上；at least 指至少； first of all 指首先。此处联系上下文后确定语句意思为：在事实上，这句睿智的话总是被人 所遗忘，所以正确答案为 B。 51. 本题考查动词及篇章理解。emphasize 指强调；doubt 指怀疑；overlook 指忽视；believe 指相信。根据上下文，此处句意为：一旦公司吸引了顾客，公司就会忽视持续吸引顾客的手 段，从而忽视了事情的后续，所以正确答案为 C。 52. 本题考查篇章理解以及动词。deny 指否认；ensure 指确保；argue 指辩论；prove 指证明。 这四个词皆为动词，根据逻辑，可以判断出此处指的是管理阶层会忘记商业的无聊一面—— 确保顾客会一直忠实于公司，所以正确答案为 B。 53. 本题考查语句理解和动名词做主语。动名词作为主语，可以引导一句句子。此处要充分 理解句子的原意，句中 cost 在此处不作名词，而是动词，指导致某人/事损失；move to 指移 动到某处；hope to 希望做某事；start to 指开始做某事；fail to 指不能做某事。综合语句意思， 可以得出本句意思为：公司不重视留住已有的顾客，从而导致公司每年损失大量资金，选 D。 54. 本题考查逻辑以及名词 tastes 品味；prices 价格；expenses 费用；均不能与介词 in 连接， 所以正确答案为 A，markets。 55. 本题考查形容词及上下文理解。此处需要形容词来修饰名词 implication，所以排除 A 选 项 culture。Social 指社会的；financial 指经济上的；economical 指实惠的。本段都是在议论 顾客对公司的经济影响，所以正确答案为 C。 56. 本题考查短语以及逻辑。make promise 指许下承诺；make plan 制定计划；make mistake 指犯错；make difference 指使某事改善。这句话的意思是，减少公司的客户量流失可以让公 司业绩改善，所以正确答案为 D。 57. 本题考查形容词。cost 指花费；opportunity 指机会；profit 指利润；budget 预算。此处的 原意是：根据美国调查证明，减少百分之五的顾客流失量就会使公司的利润增加百分之二十 五到百分之八十，所以正确答案为 C。 58. 本题考查词组以及逻辑。as a result 指因此；on the whole 指整体上；in conclusion 指总结； on the contrary 指相反。此处根据句子逻辑，可以推导出句子的原意为：那些第一次上门的 顾客接受的服务不如人意，因此再也不会上门，所以正确答案为 A。 59. 本题考查形容词和逻辑。huge 指巨大；potential 指潜在的；extra 指额外的；reasonable 指合情合理的。根据逻辑推导，此处的意思为：那些第一次上门接受到的服务就不如人意的 顾客，再也不会上门，而这将导致公司损失上万的潜在利润，所以正确答案为 B。 60. 本题考查短语搭配。beliefs 指信仰；loyalty 指忠诚；habit 指习惯；interest 指兴趣。而 和 customer 搭配时，customer loyalty 是专业的商业用语，指顾客对公司的忠诚度，所以正 确答案为 B。 61. 本题考查动词和逻辑。alter 指改变；understand 指理解；keep 指保持；attracting 指吸引。 此处根据语句意思，前文中也出现过这个短语，所以正确答案为 B。 62. 本题考查形容词和逻辑。assumed 指假定的；respected 指受尊重的；unexpected 指意外 的。这三项均不合符句子意思，established 指已确定的，句子意思：公司的固定顾客会购买 的更多，所以正确答案为 C。 63. 本题考查形容词。此处空格处的形容词是修饰名词 price，agreeable 指宜人的；flexible 指灵活的；friendly 友好的；sensitive 指敏感。此处的意思是：此外，固定顾客对公司的产 品价格也没有那么敏感，所以正确答案为 D。 64. 本题考查短语搭配和上下文联系。makes it +形容词是固定短语，指使某人某事变得如何。 Unfair 指不公平；difficult 指很难；essential 指必需；convenient 指方便。根据句子意思，选 择 B，句子意思为：稳定公司的顾客同时也可以使得竞争者很难进入市场，或者增加自己的 市场份额。 【体裁】 记叙文 【话题】 社会文化（社会生活） 【题型】 客观题 【难度】 本篇阅读理解较难，要充分理解短文意思，就要明白短文中频频出现的短语意思， 以及各种难句，并对短文的意思有总体的把握。 65.【答案】D 【解析】本题属于细节理解类事实细节题。文章第二段最后一句话提到：“She took me to the theatre not just children’s theatre but adult comedies and dramas.”可以知道 Aunt Myrtle 不仅带 作者去看儿童剧同时也去看成人剧，故 D 选项正确。文章中第三段第二句话说：“I had books at home, but they were all serious classics.”可知古典文学书籍并不是 Aunt Myrtle 借给作者的， 故 A 选项错误。文章中第二段第二句说：“I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good.”说明作者本身就擅长唱歌，故 B 选项错误。文章中第二段第三句话提到： “I couldn’t dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps.”可知 Myrtle 并没有去发掘了作者的跳 舞天赋，而是教授作者一些基本的舞步来筑起作者的自信心。故 C 选项错误。 66.【答案】A 【解析】本题属于推理判断类深层推理题。文章中第三段最后一句话提到：“Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor,”以及上文关于书籍的描述可知，作者喜欢有趣的书籍，而题目 中所问的部分是斜体字，故推测出是可以带来“joy”的书籍。故选择 A 选项。 67.【答案】A 【解析】本题属于细节理解类语义转换题。文章中第四段中提到：“it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines…a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs”可知 Aunt Mrytle 将作者推荐给报刊编辑的主要目的也是为了发掘作者 自身的写作潜力。 68.【答案】B 【解析】本题属于推理判断类结论推理题。文章最后一段最后一句话说：“Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil w ho has crossed her path.” 可以知道 Aunt Myrtle 在教学过程中善于发现和挖掘每一个学生的潜力。作者以自 己的亲身经历为例，讲述了 Myrtle 肯定学生的长处，同时帮助学生化短处为长处的可贵品 质。故选择 B 选项。 69.【答案】B 【解析】本题属于细节理解类事实细节题。从 Quick Facts 中的 living 中可以得知：“Open ocean and shallow coastline waters,”所以选项A 错误。从 environment 中可知：“From warm tropical (热 带的) waters, where they breed, to cold polar waters, where they eat.”所以选项 B 是正确的。从 Diet 中可知，座头鲸吃“Shellfish, plants and fish of small size”，所以 C 选项错误。从 Hunting 中可知座头鲸也时常会集体捕食，所以 D 选项错误。 70.【答案】A 【解析】本题属于细节理解类利用上下文内容理解词义题。文章中第二段中描写座头鲸 breaching 的过程时说：“During breaching the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap. A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach.”意思是座头鲸在 跳跃时会用自己强有力的尾叶将自己三分之二的身体甩出水面。还会像海豚跃出水面那样， 将自己的鱼鳞像翅膀一样偏向身体的一侧。由此可知选项 C，D 不正确，并未提及。选项 B 表述错误。故选择 A 选项。 71.【答案】A 【解析】本题属于推理判断类深层推理题。文章第一段最后一句话提到：“The name ‘humpback’, which is the common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whale’s back forms as it dives”，可知座头鲸名字的由来是因为它的动作而非捕猎，故选项 C 错误。同样在第一段第二句话中：“This is because they can make impressive movements when they dive”，可知座头鲸之所以被称为海洋的表演者是因为它潜水时的动作而非它的歌唱， 故选项 D 错误。文章第四段中有提到座头鲸身上的记号：“unique black and white spots on the underside of the tail flukes”，可知选项 C 正确，而“These markings are like fingerprints: no two are the same.”说明这些记号仅仅像指纹而并非真的指纹，故选项 B 错误。 72.【答案】B 【解析】本题属于细节理解类事实细节题。文章中第二段最后一句评价这项法规时说：“is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice”，说 明考古学家认为这是对科学和考古工作都有害，因此这项法规不合理。故选择 B 选项。 73.【答案】C 【解析】本题属于细节理解类事实细节题。文章中第四段中提到：“If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was.”这是一个假设句，所以选项 B 的说法不恰当。而 D 选项在文章中并没有被 提及。文章中第三段第二句提到：“Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.”可以知道 不管会不会延期，最终那些文物还是要被埋入地下的，故 C 选项正确。A 选项错误。 74.【答案】D 【解析】本题属于推理判断类深层推理题。文章中最后一段“The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept”，可知政府在这件 事上所作的工作不够，故选项 D 正确。英国政府出台法规填埋文物初衷是为了保护文物， 所以选项 A 错误。文章第五段第一句话说：“while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains”， 可以知道选项 B 中“only”用词过于绝对化，不正确。文章的主要内容就是英国政 府在关于保护人类遗产方面做出了法律上的变化，所以选项 C 不正确。 75.【答案】D 【解析】本题属于主旨大意类选择标题题。本题需要理解全篇文章的整体内容和主旨，为其 选择合适的题目。从文章中心思想上看，本文主要讲述考古学家们对法律要求出土的文物要 重新被埋入地下这一事件的看法和论述，故选择 D 选项。 Section C 【答案】 76-80 BEFCD Section D 【答案】 81.

I am writing to apply for an aid project. I have learned from the announcement that the United Nations Children’s Fund intends to subsidize 2000 Yuan for some middle school students to develop aid-to-the-poor projects, in order to help the children in impoverished area. Here is my plan for the project. First, I will establish contact with a primary school in poor area and then use part of the money to get some stationery and daily necessaries for the children. What’s more, I am going to buy some popular science readings with the money left and make an appeal to my classmates for used book contribution which may broaden the kids’ horizon in depressed area. I am very earnest to apply for the poverty alleviation project. I am looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience. Sincerely yours, Li Min
