Like many other young people,Lin Chi-ying (Vicky) and Chiang Chiu-ping (Pinky) dreamed of traveling the world.What makes them special is that they actually did it; what's more,they did it on bicycles.
At 18,Vicky read the famous Cycling Diary of Hu Rong-hua and was(41)H to take a bike tour of southern China by herself.In 1991,while riding along the island's east coast,she met a Japanese (42)F,who invited her to join him on a world cycling tour.
In July 1998,they began their trip in Alaska.Vicky soon realized,however,that their travel philosophies were quite different.Her partner seemed intent on testing his endurance,while she preferred (43)C the fantastic scenery and meeting the locals.They parted after a month.Vicky cycled alone through the Rocky Mountains down to the western United States.By this time,her (44)E efforts to persuade her college friend,Pinky,to join her had succeeded.
Once,in California,Vicky and Pinky were unable to find any cheap (45)B,so they camped in a park.They were woken up by (46)D police officers,who told them camping there was illegal.In cities,they would (47)J through colleges and libraries,"in need of air-conditioning,"Pinky joked.
Vicky and Pinky praise friends back in China who supported them (48)G,as well as people who assisted them along the way.They have fond (49)I of the wonderful friendliness of the people in a Turkish village,where Vicky and Pinky farmed,cooked,and danced with the locals.

分析 本文主要讲述了林姬莹与江秋萍两位年轻人骑自行车环游世界的故事;文中讲到:18岁时,林姬莹读了胡荣华的那本名著《单骑走天涯》后,受其鼓舞一个人骑自行车环游了华南地区;1991年,当她沿着东海岸骑自行车时,遇到一位日本籍的自行车骑士,那位骑士邀她加入了他的自行车环游世界之旅;后来,由于两人骑车环游世界的目标不同,所以他们就分开了;在林姬莹不断地游说下,她的大学好友江秋萍也加入了她的旅程;文中还讲到了她们在旅行中遇到的艰辛以及留下的其他一些美好的回忆;林姬莹与江秋萍十分感激在财力上给予她们支援的中国朋友以及那些一路上帮助过她们的人.

解答 答案:
41.H   考查形容词  此处在句中作表语,构成"be+形容词+动词不定式to do"结构;本句的意思应是:18岁时,林姬莹读了胡荣华的那本名著《单骑走天涯》,并受其鼓舞一个人骑自行车环游了华南地区;故选H
42.F   考查名词    此处用在"不定冠词a+形容词Japanese+名词"的结构中,根据下一句"who invited her to join him on a world cycling tour"可知,此处指的应是:一个邀她加入自行车环游世界之旅的人,故选F
43.C   考查动名词    此处用在动词 preferred之后,应使用动名词形式,意为:更喜欢做某事;本句的意思是:她的伙伴似乎热衷于测试自己的耐力,她却更喜欢欣赏美丽的自然风光以及与当地人接触;故选C
44.E    考查形容词     此处用在名词 efforts 之前,故填形容词;这里指的是:她的不断努力;故选E
45.B    考查名词        此处用在形容词cheap 之后,故填名词;根据下一句"so they camped in a park(因此他们只好在公园扎营)"可推测出这里的意思应是:他们找不到便宜的住所;故选B
46.D    考查形容词    此处用来修饰名词短语police officers,故用形容词;此处指的应是:武装警察;故选D
47.J     考查动词     此处用在助动词would之后,应使用动词原形;这里的意思是:在城市里,她们会逛当地的大学和图书馆;故选J
48.G     考查副词    此处用来修饰动词supported,故应使用副词;本句的意思是:林姬莹与江秋萍十分感激在财力上给予她们支援的中国朋友们,和那些一路上帮助过她们的人;故选G
49.I     考查固定短语"fond memories"意为:美好回忆;美好的记忆;故选I

点评 本题考查的是选词填空;在做类似的题时,首先需要快速浏览全文,掌握文中的大意;其次应逐句分析,根据上下句或上下文的意思,进行逻辑推理,判断出空缺处所在句子的意思;最后,应根据空缺处前后相邻词的词性,从语法的角度分析出空缺处的词性,从而会降低选词的难度.

19.The next morning Alex was waiting in the FMA president's suite when Jerome Patterton arrived.Alex filled him in quickly on the Jax report.Then he said,"I want you to give an order to the trust department to sell every share of Supranational we're holding."
"I won't!"Patterton's voice rose."Who do you think you are,giving orders-----""I'll tell you who I am,Jerome.I'm the guy who warned the board against in-depth involvement with SuNatCo.I fought against heavy trust department buying of the stock,but no one-----including you-----would listen.Now Supranational is caving in."Alex leaned across the desk and slammed a fist down hard."Don't you understand?Supranational can bring this bank down with it."
 Patterton was shaken."But is SuNatCo in real trouble?Are you sure?"
"If I weren't,do you think I'd be here?I'm giving you a chance to salvage something at least."He pointed to his wristwatch."It's an hour since the New York  stock market opened.Jerome,get on the phone and give that order!"Muscles around the bank president's mouth twitched nervously.Never decisive,strong influence often swayed him.He hesitated,then picked up the telephone.
"Get me Mitchell in the trust department…Mitch?This is Jerome.Listen carefully.I want you to give a sell order immediately on all the Supranational stock we hold…Yes,sell every share."Patterton listened,then said impatiently,"Yes,I know what it'll do to the market.And I know it's irregular."His eyes sought Alex's for reassurance.The hand holding the telephone trembled as he said,"There's no time to hold meetings.So do it!Yes,I accept responsibility."
 He hung up and reached for a glass of water."The stock is already down.Our selling will depress it more.We'll be taking a big beating."
"It's our clients-----people who trusted us-----who will take the beating.And they'd have taken a bigger one still,if we'd waited.Even now we're not out of the woods.A week from now the SEC may disallow those sales.They may rule we had inside knowledge that Supranational was about to be bankrupt,which we should have reported and which would have halted trading in the stock.

17.If you live in Tokyo or Toronto,you need a warm coat in the winter.(71)B The aim of advertising is to change our ideas about things we want and need.
Some ads for designer products use people's vanity(虚荣心) to sell the product.The ads try to create a personality for each brand.For example,one brand of watches is for people who like adventure,with ads featuring an auto racer or a pilot wearing them.Another brand of watches is for elegant and fashionable people,and the ads show wealthy travelers on a cruise ship.The watches look almost the same-only their images are different.When you buy that brand of watch,you are buying the image.(72)E
Many ads use people's emotions to persuade us that we need the product.Think of a TV commercial that shows a woman out driving in a car on a rainy day,with her two small children.Suddenly,another car turns in front of her.The mother quickly hit the brakes,and her car comes to a stop.The children are still smiling and laughing.The message is:This car will keep you safe.(73)A Other examples are slogans that tell you to"take vitamins to prevent heart disease,"or"buy insurance-protect your family."
Commercials for soft drinks often show people having a party,playing sports,or enjoying a day at the beach:Everyone in the ad is having a good time.The message is:If you buy this drink,you will have a good time too.Many ads like this are based on people's desire for fun and enjoyment.
(74)F Psychologists have found that people have positive feelings about things they see more often,so the same ad is used for a long time before it is replaced with a new ad.Other studies found that people react better to an ad when it is fresh in their memory,so TV ads are repeated very often.
Knowing about psychology in advertising lets us make better decisions about the things we buy.(75)G

A.Advertisements like this one use fear to sell products.
B.But you want one that is short,or black,or has a designer brand.
C.You have to be careful not to be fooled by the ads on the Internet.
D.But the children may not realize that what they are viewing is unreal.
E.This is the reason that people spend much more money for a product.
F.After an ad is prepared,advertisers use psychology to make it more effective.
G.It helps us know the difference between what we want and what we really need.

3.Perhaps one aspect of modern life which is most often considered‘annoying'is noise.According to some estimates,the amount of urban noise (32)has doubled (double) in the past ten years,and with the increase in road and air traffic,noise is likely to increase too.
Noise quite clearly affects the health of modern man.It is a health threat.Loud noise (33)is said (say) to be a leading cause of deafness among many people over 65.It is also a major (34)contributing (contribute) factor in causing stress,(35)which itself causes a variety of illnesses.
Noise is sometimes associated with lack of communication in the modern world.In many busy shops,factories and nightclubs,(36)the level and constancy of noise make conversation at a natural level difficult or impossible.
Certain people in society,such as motorcyclists,seem to believe they have a right (37)to make (make) as much noise as they like without being fined.Do they?
We are so trained to noise in this modern world (38)that people growing up with little (39)or no experience of genuine peace and quiet have begun to associate silence with boredom.Isn't it time for us to start teaching young people that silence is golden and that you can do a lot of interesting things (40)without the accompaniment of noise?
