Passage 1



Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

In one very long sentence, the introduction to the U.N. Charter expresses the ideals and the common aims of all the peoples whose governments joined together to

form the U.N.

“We the peoples of the U.N. determined to save succeeding generations from the

scourge of war, which twice in our life time has brought untold suffering to man

kind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be mentioned, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, and for these ends, to practise tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors, and to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and to employ international machinery for the promotion of economic and social advancement of all people, have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims”.The name “United Nations” is accredited to U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the first group of representatives of member states met and signed a declaration of common intent on New Year’s Day in 1942. Representatives of five powers worked together to draw up proposals, completed at Dumbarton Oaks in 1944. These proposals, modified after deliberation at the conference of International Organization in San Francisco which began in April 1945, were finally agreed on and signed as the U. N. Charter by 50 countries on 26 June 1945. Poland, not represented at the conference, signed the Charter later and was added to the list of original members. It was not until that autumn, however, after the Charter had been ratified by China, France, the U. S. S. R., the U. K. and the U. S. and by a majority of the other participants that U. N. officially came into existence.

The date was 24 October, now universally celebrated as United Nations’ Day.The essential functions of the U. N. are to maintain international peace and security, to develop friendly relations among nations, to cooperate internationally

in solving international economic, social, cultural and human problems, promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and to be a centre for co-ordinating the actions of nations in attaining these common ends.

No country takes precedence over another in the U. N.. Each member’s rights and

obligations are the same. All must contribute to peaceful settlement of international disputes, and members have pledged to refrain from the threat or use of force against other states. Though the U. N. has no right to intervene in any state’s internal affairs, it tries to ensure that non-member states act according

to its principles of international peace and security. U. N. member must offer veery assistance in an approved U. N. action and in no way assist states against

which the U. N. is taking preventive or enforcement action.

21. The first stated aim of the U. N. was _______________________________ .

A) to supervise peace and treaties B) to revise international laws

Passage 2



Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

The traditional American Thanksgiving Day celebration went back to 1621. In that

year a special feast was prepared in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The colonists who

had settled there had left England because they felt denied of religious freedom. They came to the new land and faced difficulties in coming across the ocean.

The ship which carried them was called the Mayflower. The North Atlantic was difficult to travel. There were bad storms. They were assisted in learning to live

in the new land by the Indians who inhabited the region. The Puritans, as they were called, had much to be thankful for. Their religious practices were no longer a source of criticism by the government. They learned to adjust their farming habits to the climate and soil. When they selected the fourth Thursday of November for their Thanksgiving celebration, they invited their neighbors, the Indians, to join them in dinner and a prayer of gratitude for the new life. They recalled the group of 102 men, women, and children who left England. They remembered their dead who did not live to see the shores of Massachusetts. They reflected on the 65 days’ journey, which tested their strength.

Passage 3



Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age,for the same age,for these children to develop to their full adult

potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.

Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the

public schools that we find the full expression of society’s understandingthe knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.

Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see

the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values

of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in pubic education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.

“All men are created equal.” We’ve heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country’s founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children——the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity ,whether that capacity be small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children-desabled or not -to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.

31. In paragraph 2, the author cites the example of the leading actor on

the stage to show that _______________________________.

A) the growth of exceptional children has much to do with their family and the societyB) exception children are more influenced by their families than normal children

are 

C) exceptional children are the key interest of the family and society 

D) the needs of the society weigh much heavier than the needs of the exceptional

children 

32. The reason that the exceptional children receive so much concern in e

ducation is that _______________________________ .

A) they are expected to be leaders of the society 

B) they might become a burden of the society 

C) they should fully develop their potentials 

D) disabled children deserve special consideration 

33. This passage mainly deals with _______________________________ .

A) the differences of children in their learning capabilities 

B) the definition of exceptional children in modern society 

C) the special educational programs for exceptional children 

D) the necessity of adapting education to exceptional children 

34. From its passage we learn that the educational concern for exceptional children _______________________________ .

A) is now enjoying legal support 

B) disagrees with the tradition of the country 

C) was clearly stated by the country’s founders

D) will exert great influence over court decisions 

35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A) Exceptional children refer to those with mental or physical problems.

B) The author use “All men are created equal” to counter the school program for the exceptional children . 

C) Recent court decisions confirm the rights of the exceptional children

to enjoy the equal rights to learn with the normal ones. 

D) Regular school programs fail to meet the requirements to develop the

potential of exceptional children . 

Passage 4



Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

More attention was paid to the quality of production in France at the time of Rene Coty. Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister. He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production

. It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international market to

complete with those produced in other countries. The French economy needed a larger share of the international market to balance its import and export trade.

French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people, let alone long-ranged developments. Essential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking point. Rents were tightly

controlled, but the extreme inflation affected general population most severely

though the cost of food. Food costs took as much as 80 per cent of workers income. Wages, it is true, had risen and there was full-time and overtime employment.

Taken together these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security. In this precarious and discouraging situation, workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages. 

The government was reluctant to let workers leave the country. It was feared this migration of workers would deplete the labor force. The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced.

Qualified workers produced in foreign countries. Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its qualified labor force moved to other countries.

36. According to the passage,which of the following is right?

A) The French workers were better paid than the workers in any other European country.

B) The French workers were able to save more money with the increase in his wages.

C) The French workers were anxious to work abroad.

37. Which was not true in France?

A) Food cost were low.

B) Wages had increased.

C) The state paid family allowances.

D) There was overtime employment. 

38. According to the passage,which of the following is charles Deschanel’s opinion?

A) He paid more attention to quality than to quantity.

B) The passage doesn’t mention it.

C) His opinion is totally different from others.

D) He was not right.

39. According to the passage, French production _______________________________ .

A) was inadequate to meet the needs of the French people

B) was flooding the international market with inferior products

C) emphasized industrial production at the expense of agricultural production

D) was enough for the local market 

40. Which of the following is right?

A) The French government prohibited French to work abroad.

B) The French government reduced taxes to fight inflation.

Part Ⅳ Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)

Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or

incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or

complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). 

As early as 1710 the iron industry in English complained of increasing competition from the American colonies. The American iron industry developed rapidly from

that date until, by 1750, numerous furnaces, forges, and mills were operating in New England, the middle colonies, and Virginia. When large quantities of pig iron from the American colonies first entered England in 1735, the product proved

to be of such excellent quality that English ironmakers became involved in a bitter argument over the future of the colonial iron industry. The English iron smelters, who changed native English iron ore into pig iron, insisted that American pig iron be kept out of England by means of high import taxes and, in fact. that the whole colonial iron industry be suppressed. In agreement with the iron smelters were owners of English mines and even forests, whose wood was used to fuel the furnaces which smelted the iron ore. 

On the other side of the issue were the English iron manufacturers who desired more cheap pig iron to make into nails, tools, and other iron wares. The iron manufacturers therefore encouraged the production of pig iron in the American colonies. They wanted it to enter England tax free, but, at the same time, demanded that the colonists be prevented from working their crude iron into finished products. In addition to the iron manufacturers, English merchant shipowners were in favor of receiving American pig iron, for they looked forward to transporting the crude iron from America to England and the manufactured iron products from England to the colonies. The English wool industry supported the iron manufacturers, also, in the belief that the Americans would use the money received for shipments of crude iron to buy cloth made in England, thus discouraging the growth of wool manufacturing in America.

【试题分析】此题为直接明示信息题。

【详细解答】根据选项确定此题问数字,听音时特别注意听与数字有关的信息。流感

大流行致死多少人在短文中只有一处谈及，即 before the great outbreak ended, it had killed at least 15 million people,该题无其它数字干扰，因此，此题难度不太大。

14．答案C。

【试题分析】此题为听力材料的细节考查题。

【详细解答】如果听到了句子：The virus of influenza was not found until 1993.便可

以排除A，如果我们听到了… a team of British doctors found the type A …, a doctor of the United States found type B) 就能轻易排除B。短文开头提到了the outbreak

of 412 BC) 显然公元前412前不同于公元412年，D也不对。最后还要理解all…not 意为“不是所有的……都”（=Not all …）。短文中的句子“A vaccine good against one type gave no protection against another.”与选项C意义相同。

15．答案B。

【试题分析】此题需从话语逻辑联系上找答案。

【详细解答】短文开头的句子 … the path led into some very thick bushes.…I decided that if we walked along the bottom of the valley we could …是做对这题的关键。“这条路进了茂密的灌木”与“我决定……”是一种因果关系，这种关系便是此题答案所在。

16．答案B。

【试题分析】此题考查听力及生活常识。

【详细解答】文中虽然未直接提到nest(巢), 但若我们听到了a bird flew…I saw two eggs,便可根据一般常识判定作者看到的是鸟巢。短文中虽然提到了rock, grass, 但鸟蛋最有

可能是在巢了。

17．答案C。

【试题分析】此题为直接明示信息题。

【详细解答】只要听懂了 …worn the rock as smooth as glass (冲刷得象玻璃一样光滑)

和 …too steep to climb down (太陡了不能爬下去)，这题答案就清楚了。

18. 答案B。

【试题分析】此题为关于地点的细节题。

【关键词语】London Tennis Tournament

【详细解答】此题听清题目后，不难解答。我们听到“…has won the London Tennis Tournament”便可知道正确答案是B。

19. 答案A。

【试题分析】此题考查对关键词的理解，并进行简单的推理。

【关键词语】past, first time

【详细解答】此题首先得听清问题（过去，美国人曾几次夺得伦敦锦标赛的冠军）。根据听

到的关键词可知这是美国人首次夺得伦敦锦标赛冠军。故可推出正确答案为A。

20．答案D。

【试题分析】此题考查对关键词的理解，并进行简单的推理。

【关键词语】hoped, next month

【详细解答】此题首先得听清问题（What is Mr. Cox looking forward to?）。故要在与looking forward to 的意思相同的hope词后找答案，故不难得出正确选项D。

Part Ⅱ

Passage One

短文大意

本文是对联合国的一个简单介绍。具体包括联合国的宗旨，联合国的历史，其成立、发展及

成员，和联合国的基本作用。最后指出在联合国中各成员均享有平等的权力和义务，各成员

国之间的争端需通过和平的方式加以解决，联合国行动的原则是有利于国际的和平和安全。

21. 答案C。

【参考译文】联合国宗旨的首条内容是什么？

【试题分析】此题为语义推理题，考查考生的概括能力。

【详细解答】题目问的是联合国宗旨的首条内容是什么，文章第二段所阐述的均为联合国宗

旨，首要一条是“We the peoples of the U. N. determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our life time has brought untold suffering to mankind…”（我们这些联合国的成员决心将我们的后代从战争的灾难中解救出来，在我们的一生中，这样的战争已经两次给人类带来了无法诉说的痛苦。）句中所说的给人类带来无法诉说的痛苦的战争即为第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战，因此C）正确。A）、B）和D）虽也是属联合国宗旨，但非首条，与题目不符，故舍弃。

22. 答案D。

【参考译文】根据其宪章，联合国承诺什么？

【试题分析】此题为语义推理题。

【详细解答】本题的答案仍在文章的第二段，文章提到“…that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest,…”(在一般利害关系中不应使用武力。)A）项never to use arms(永不使用武力)与此不符，B）项to employ international machines（使

用国际机器）又不同于“…and to enjoy international machinery for the promotion of economic and social advancement of all people,…”（享受用于促进全人类的经济和

社会进步的国际机构），并非任何机构都可享受使用。而D）项to promote economic and social advancement（促进经济和社会进步）正是联合国努力做到的，因此为正确答案。C）

项to better standards of life （提高生活水平）也不准确。文中“…and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,…”是说“更加自由

地促进社会进步和提高生活水平。”

23. 答案D。

【参考译文】联合国正式成立的日期是何日？

【试题分析】此题为关于时间的特定信息查寻题。

【详细解答】题目问的是联合国正式成立于哪一年。1942年是首批成员国代表聚会并签署一项联合宣言。1944年是五大强国代表集会，草拟协议。1940年在文中根本未提及，因此选D）。

24. 答案B。

【参考译文】联合国的的基本作用是什么？

【试题分析】此题为辨析题，需根据上下文做出判断。

【详细解答】文章第四段讲述了联合国的基本作用是维持国际和平与安全，发展国家间友好

关系，在解决国际经济、社会文化和促进尊重人权及基本自由的人类问题方面进行国际性合

作，成为达到这些共同目标而协调各国行动的中心。A）项未提及，C）项和D）项片面，所

以B）项正确。

25. 答案A。

【参考译文】一个国家的国内政策____。

【试题分析】此题为语义推理题。

【详细解答】文章最后一段清楚阐明了只要不违背国际和平与安全的原则，“…the U. N.

has no right to intervene in any state’s internal affairs,…”（联合国无权干涉

任何一个国家的内部事务。）只有A项正确。

Passage Two

短文大意

本文讲述了感恩节的由来。一批殖民地开拓者为了宗教自由离开英国到新大陆，穿过北大西

洋，历经千难万苦，在当地印第安人的帮助下，开始适应当地生活并生存下来，因此，为了

感谢上帝，选定十一月的第四个星期四作为感恩节。

26. 答案C。

【试题分析】此题主要考查时间的推算。

【详细解答】从文章的一开头便可得知。The traditional American Thanksgiving Day ce

lebration went back to 1621.(美国感恩节庆祝传统可追溯到1621年。)也就是说，从1621

年到现在已有300多年的历史。从四个选择中可以看出只有C才是正确答案。

27. 答案A。

【参考译文】他们（指殖民地开拓者）为什么要离开英国？

【试题分析】此题是一直接推理题，需要抓住关键词语进行判断。

【详细解答】他们（殖民地开拓者）为什么要离开英国？A）因为宗教问题。B）为了创建一

个新的宗教。C）为了学习务农。D）由于印第安人的缘故。短文的第三句话说：The colonists who had settled there had left England because they felt denied of religious

freedom.(这些定居下来的开拓者离开英国是因为他们感到他们的宗教自由被否定了。)，

从此不难看出，A为本题正确答案。

28. 答案C。

【参考译文】五月花指什么？

【试题分析】此题答案明显，为细节题。

【详细解答】The Mayflower是：A）他们所离开的城市。B）他们到达的城市。C）他们乘坐的船只。D）印第安人首领的名字。殖民地开拓者离开英国到新大陆，穿过北大西洋，历经千辛万苦，靠的是什么？主要是船只。The Mayflower 就是他们由英国到新大陆所乘坐的船只，故C为正确答案。

29. 答案B。

【参考译文】开拓者到达新大陆后遇到的主要问题是如何生存，如何适应，那么，印第安人

他们做了什么呢？

【试题分析】此题也是细节题，根据关键词语进行推断。

【详细解答】开拓者到达新大陆后遇到的主要问题是如何适应当地生活，如保能够生存下去

。那么印第安人帮助他们做了什么呢？A）给他们的生活造成了困难。B）帮助他们适应生活

。C）抢走了他们的土地。D）他们（印第安人）太害怕不敢和他们谈话。在短文中：They were assisted in learning to live in the new land by the Indians who inhabited the region .（他们得到了住在当地的印第安人的帮助，学习如何在新大陆上生活。）由此可知，B为正确答案。

30. 答案B。

【参考译文】马萨诸塞州的气候和土壤是怎样。

【试题分析】此题考查考生的间接推理能力，根据常识进行推理。

【详细解答】马萨诸塞州的气候和土壤是：A）和英国的一样。B）和英国的不一样。C）和

普利茅斯的气候一样。D）和普利茅斯的气候不一样。从一个国度到另一个国度，风土人情

，生活环境气候条件各不相同。从文中可以看出，马萨诸塞州的气候和土壤和英国的是不一

样的；They learned to adjust their farming habits to the climate and soil.（他们

学习调整适应气候和土壤的耕作习惯。）如果英国的气候和土壤和马萨诸塞州的一样的话，

他们就没有必要去调整，去适应。由此看出，这里的气候和土壤和英国的是不同的，故B为正确答案。

Passage Three短文大意

本文阐述了异常孩子享受平等教育的问题。作者从家庭的责任、社会的作用以及法律的角度

肯定了教育对孩子的重要性，所有孩子应享受平等的教育，从而提出学校对异常儿童与普通

儿童应采用不同的教学计划，让超常儿童的潜能得以充分发挥。

31．答案A。

【参考译文】在第二段，作者举舞台上的主演的例子是为了表明什么？

【详细解答】在第二段,作者举例说，舞台上的主角吸引了我们的注意力，但我们没有忽视

配角的支持与舞台布景的衬托。下文的exceptional children 与例子中的leading actor 相对应；family 和society 与例中的supporting players 和 scenery 相对应，从而说明了A）“异常孩子的成长与家庭和社会有很大关系”。B）异常孩子比正常孩子受家庭影响更大。C）异常孩子是社会和家庭的主要兴趣。D）社会的需要比异常孩子的需要更为重要。显然，作者的举例不能说明B、C、D项的意思。

32．答案C。

【参考译文】异常孩子在教育方面受到如此关注的原因是什么。

【详细解答】答案C的根据是文章第三段最后一个句子：The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over…indicated the strong feeling…all citizen, …deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.

33．答案D。

【参考译文】文章主要是____。

【试题分析】这是中心思想测试题。

【详细解答】本文开头第一段概括了全文的主题思想。下文详细地阐述了家庭和社会对异常

孩子的重要性，教育对所有孩子的重要性，和所有孩子平等地受教育的法律保证。这些细节

都说明D）“教育适应异常孩子的必要性”。B项本文未涉及，A、C虽有涉及，但不是全文的

主题思想。

34．答案A。

【参考译文】从文章中可知对智力超常儿童教育的关注是____。

【试题分析】本题为细节考查题，考查考生对全文所有主要事实和细节的理解。

【详细解答】答案A的根据是第四段中间的Recent court decisions have confirmed the

right of all children—disable or not—to an appropriate education. B、C、D均

在文中找不到根据，所以都不可选。

35．答案D。

【参考译文】根据文章，下列哪项是正确的？

【试题分析】此题问哪个选项符合文章内容。做这类题可以从文中找各选项的依据来逐项排

除。

【详细解答】文章首段第二句中的 … to develop their full adult potential 和文章最

后一句中的 … to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.清

楚地表明了 exceptional children 指智力超常的儿童，因此A）项（身体和智力有毛病）

不正确。文章的第四段对“All men are created equal”在教育中的含义给予了具体的解

释，即“每个孩子具有得到帮助、学到能力极限的权利”，因此，B项（作者用“所有人生

来平等”是为了反对学校对超常儿童的教学计划）的说法是错误的。本文的宗旨是赞同学校

对超常儿童与普通儿童采用不同的教学计划；法律确认的是所有孩子享有适当的教育的权利

，这包括超常儿童的潜能得以最大发挥的权利，因此，C）项不对。D）学校通常的教学计划

不能满足超常儿童充分发挥潜能的需要。“调整教学计划适应超常儿童的必要性”是本文的

中心，这与D）项内容一致，故答案选D）。

Passage Four短文大意

在Rene Coty时期，法国非常重视生产质量，因为在国际市场上质量比数量更重要。

只有生产出质量高的好货物才能和别国的产品竞争。法国的经济也需要市场的大份额来平衡

进出口贸易。

然而法国的工农业生产不足，难以满足人民的需要，更谈不上长期发展，进出口的不

平衡导致信货过高，以至影响人民的生活，特别是食品的消费猛涨。花在食品上的钱占工人

收入的80％，虽然政府付给超时工作补贴，加上增加的薪水尚能免强度日，但对工人们来说

仍没有安全感，在这种不稳定的、令人沮丧的情况下工人们宁愿到国外去打工，挣更高的工

待。C．国家给家庭津贴，这也是事实。D．超时雇工，文中也有所述。

Part Ⅳ

短文大意

早在1710年英国的制铁业已感受到来自美国殖民地的强烈挑战，因为这个时期的美国制铁业正在迅速发展。由于美国的生铁物美价廉，进入英国市场之后引起了英国冶铁者对殖民地冶铁工业的前途的争论。英国的冶铁者，把本国的矿石炼成生铁，坚持要对美国生铁征高额关税以便将其拒之国门之外，用来压制殖民地的冶铁业。但是英国的铁器制造厂家则希望得到更便宜的生铁，以便制造钉子、工具及其他用品。所以这些人则鼓励殖民地多生产生铁，希望从美国进口免税生铁。他们还要求禁止美国殖民地人民把生铁制成成品。另外，英国的商人也喜欢从美国进口生铁到英国，再将制成的铁器运送到美国去。英国的毛纺工业也支持这一举措，因为他们相信美国人会利用运输生铁所挣来的钱买英国的布料，从而遏止美国的毛纺业的发展。

71．【参考答案】selling English wool to the colonists

【解题技巧】通过了解上下文来确定答案。

【详细解答】从短文中可以知道，英国的炼铁者反对的是从美国进口生铁，以便使自己生

产的生铁制成铁器运往美国，赚取利润。而铁器制造厂家则希望从美国免税进口生铁，其目

的也是为了利润。虽然两者在生铁进口方面所持态度完全相反，但有一点是共同的——从生

铁的进出口谋取利润，他们都不希望其它行业取代他们的地位和空间，故他们都反对卖给殖

民地羊毛。如果把答案写成：high import taxes on American pig iron(反对美国生铁

征收高额税金)，这是冶铁者所反对的，而炼铁者则是赞成的。故不符题意要求。

72．【参考答案】low in cost and high in quality

【解题技巧】应尽量利用原文中现有的词。

【详细解答】有些问题在原文中可以直接找到，有些问题则需要从全文中总结和概括出来。

本题的答案就比较直观，因为这在文章的第一段中就有这样的词语：excellent quality。

冶铁者为什么要买进口的生铁呢？主要是因它便宜。这样不难发现：美国的生铁既便宜质量

又好。

73．【参考答案】high import taxes had been placed on American pig iron

【解题技巧】根据上下文间接推理找出答案，从否定中找肯定。

【详细解答】这个答案隐藏在文章的最后一句话里：The English wool industry supported the iron manufacturers,also,in the belief that the Americans would use the money received for shipments of crude iron to buy cloth made in England,thus discouraging the growth of wool manufacturing in America.(英国的毛纺工业也支持冶铁厂

家，认为美国人会从运输生铁所赚的钱来买英国的布料，从而遏制美国的毛纺业)。题目要

求的是：如果对美国生铁征收高额关税，美国的毛纺业就会得到发展，这是个虚拟语气的句

子，意思是实际上没有对美国的生铁进行高额征税。反过来讲，如果高额征了税，就不能够

遏制住美国的毛纺业了，也就是说美国的毛纺业就会发展起来了。

74．【参考答案】growth of shipping between England and America

【解题技巧】把握全文，总结概括，由表及里，找出内容含义。

【详细解答】从文章内容上看，无论从美国进口生铁也好，还是出口到美国的铁器制品也好

，都需要来来往往的运输，没有运输，就没有英美之间的交流和贸易。所以，这篇短文的主

题不是关于英国的冶铁者的发展历史，也不是英国冶铁者同商人之间的矛盾，更不是关于是

否征高额关税之争，而是英美之间的外贸往来的发展情况。

75．【参考答案】pay the cost of high import taxes

【解题技巧】利用反证进行解题。

【详细解答】如果英国对从美国进口的生铁征收高税，那么美国人肯定会对从英国进口的货

物，如铁器、毛料等征收高额关税，那么殖民地的居民就不得不从生铁中所获的利润去偿付

进口货物的高额税金。

Part Ⅴ

Sample Writing

How to Stop Corruption in Government Bodies?

Nowadays nothing in government bodies comes close to corruption that brings ruin

upon our Party’s image in the peoples’s minds.For this very reason,many people of insight have come up with some tentative proposals,among which two draw widespread attention throughout the country.

Some suggest that our Party nourish honesty in government departments by raising

civil servants’ salaries by a wide margin.Of this move will come much good on the side of an official:a fuller sense of his duties,a better resistance to lure

of bribes,and a less embarrassment of being hard up on a formal occasion.Others

hold that our Party should perfect mechanisms of supervision,under which any official is restrained in exercising his functions and power.However,no matter how

perfect,any supervision can not ensure every official against corruption.

If neither of the two proposals is effective enough to root up the cause of ruin

in govermment machinery,I suggest that fruitful interpenetration of each other’

s advantages be made.While encouraging qualified officials to devote more to the

people by giving a proper increase in salary,our Party must reinforce efficient

supervision over some functional agencies.I am fully confident that,as long as

our party is ready to adopt any suggestion particularly beneficial to the purification of the civil ranks,there will be no more soil for corruption in government bodies.
