A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty.
His victim, who picked up the ticket, then claimed the ￡25,000 prize, managed to trace him, and handed over the
cash. The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci, 58, was changing a tyre on an Italian
motorway. Another mororist, who stopped “to help”, stole a suitcase from his car and drove off. The professor
found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.
Next day, he saw the lottery results on TV and, taking out the ticket, realized it was a winner. He claimed
the 60 million lire prize. Then he began a battle with his conscience. Finally, he decided he could not keep the
money despite having been robbed. He advertised in newspapers and on radio, saying: “I’m trying to find the man
who robbed me. I have 60 million lire for him — a lottery win. Please meet me. Anonymity guaranteed.”
Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash.
But there was one voice he recognized—and he arranged to meet the man in a park. The robber, a 35-year-old
unemployed father of two, gave back the suitcase and burst into tears. He could not believe what was happening.
“Why didn’t you keep the money?” he asked. The professor replied: “I couldn’t because it’s not mine.” Then he
walked off, spurning the thief’s offer of a reward.
1）. The sentence “Then he began a battle with his conscience.” in paragraph 2 implies all of the following
EXCEPT that ______.
A. he knew what he should do as soon as he saw the lottery results
B. he hesitated about keeping the money for some time
C. he thought for a moment of avenging himself on the robber
D. he came to realize that honesty is more important than money

If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring( 转 换 ) to another flight outside
Britain or Northern Ireland, you must pass through Passport Control and Customs immediately after leaving your
plane. If you are not British or a citizen of the European Community, you must fill out a special form before
your passport is examined. This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to
London.
After landing, follow the ARRIVALS signs. Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach Passport
Control. There is one channel for holders of European Community passports, and a second channel marked “Other
Passports”.
Baggage Reclaim（行李领取）Area
After passing through Passport Control, follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area. If you have luggage
which was carried in the aircraft along with other cargo, it will be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area.

Reclaim Area to Customs.

Free allowances can be found on special notice-boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area. You should study this

themselves. They had just climbed their way to the top rung out of 4 million students taking part in the Fifth
National Hua Luogeng Gold Cup Mathematics Contest on Tuesday evening. The 20 Gold medal winners are all

In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet. When the
fragments landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth.
But what if our own planet was hit by a comet?
The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our
planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic.
On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half
of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of
sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern
Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are
drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.
Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won’t escape for long.
Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust,
temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A
year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The
dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared.
Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn’t survive in the cold
climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?
Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage?
A. Because they could only live in the warm climate.
B. Because they once dominated the earth.
C. Because their extinction indicates future disasters.
D. Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age.

Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing
significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor, a younger
and less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.
One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she was. Maria gave her the
name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company.
Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.
During the interview, Mr. Petri said, “You’re just the kind of person we need here. You’re being wasted in
your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. I’m sure we can find a place for you in our organization.” Martha
was so happy she almost danced out of the building.
That afternoon, Ruth Kenny, her supervisor, saw that Martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch
hour and she said, “Oh, so you finally decided to come back to work today?”
This was the last straw. She could not take another insult. Besides, Mr. Petri was right: she was being wasted
in this job.
“Look,” she said angrily, “if you don’t like the way I work, I don’t need to stay here. I’ll go where I’m
appreciated! Good-bye!” She took up her things and stormed out of the office.
That night she called Maria and told her what had happened and then asked Maria, “What do you think?”
“Well,” said Maria carefully, “are you sure about the other job?”

“Well, not exactly, but…”
Maria continued, “Will you be able to get a recommendation from Ms. Kenny if you need one?”
“A recommendation? … from Ms. Kenny?” hesitated Martha, in a worried tone.
“Martha, I hope you didn’t burn your bridge,” Maria said. “I think I would have handled it differently.”
What does Maria think of Martha’s decision?
A. Martha has handled the matter properly.
B. Martha shouldn’t have set the bridge on fire.
C. Martha should have found a new job before leaving.
D. Martha shouldn’t have lost her temper with her supervisor.

5. 观点评价题
Where do pesticides fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil,
water, and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and
birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the contrary, is part of nature: Can he escape a pollution that
is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world?
We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely
severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers, and
others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides are very sad and should not occur. For the population as a
whole, we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that
invisibly pollute our world.
Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative
over long periods of time, and that the danger to the individual may depend on the sum of the exposures received
throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what
may seem to us a threat of future disease. “Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious
signs,” says a wise physician, Dr. Rene Dubos, “yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them
unnoticed.”
What is the author’s attitude towards the environmental effects of pesticides?
A. Pessimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Defensive. D. Concerned.
6. 主旨概括题

Some supermarkets have a special way of getting people to come to the bakery counters. Sometimes they
spray a “cake smell” into the air. At other times they spray the fresh smell of baking bread. These smells are
enough to make people’s mouths water. The customers then race madly to the counter to buy cake, bread, rolls,
and other baked goods!
The main idea of the passage is _________.
A. what cake smells like B. why bakeries make money
C. how people are attracted to bakery counters D. what bakery counters in supermarkets sell

You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia’s fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the
Department of Food Nutrition, says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. That is a thorough
departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. “They like big pieces of fried meat with
a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food, their calorie intake has increased. Now about 40
to 45 percent of their calories come from fat,” says Chwang.
Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness, culture—namely Asian’s hospitality — is a reason for
the fatness of today’s generation, according to Chwang. “Asian people love food,” she says. “Eating and drinking
are important social and family functions.” In the past, however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions
as people were more careful with money. In today’s climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10-course
meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.
More than anyone else, children are on the receiving end of their parents’ improved circumstances. “In the
past, people had four or more children — now, they have one or two, so they tend to spoil them,” says Chwang.
“The easiest way is to give them ‘quality food’. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel
bad when their children look thin.”
When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says: “There is a clear
relationship between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they don’t move, and eventually, they don’t
want to move because they’re fat.”
Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. “What do
children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and
drink Coke,” says Chwang.
Some parents feel bad when their children look thin because ______.
A. their children don’t love eating and drinking
B. their children don’t have a good physical condition
C. they feel that they don’t take good care of their children
D. they feel that they are not wealthy enough to afford ‘quality food’
五、阅读理解测试题中的一些注意事项
1、错题原因一：
当原文与选项的文字为同义替换（paragraphrase) 时，我们解题者往往因为词汇量不够或者对句子的理
解不到位而无法正确理解句子。
对策：
我们要打好词汇和语法基础，练就一双“火眼金睛”，只要近义词或同一内容一出现，就能马上进行
“联想”。另外，浏览全文时对关键句子要特别留意。
例 1：2009 年高考（C）篇
第六段：The Restriever software package, which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of
many security software programs. Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the

A. come to understand the inner structure of writing
B. join a fascinating circle of writers someday
C. share with a novelist her likes and dislikes
D. learn from the living examples to establish a sense of security
2、错题原因二：
长难句理解困难，也是失分的重要原因之一。通常长难句不易理解并不是因为句子结构本身复杂难懂，
而是句子附带的修饰语较多，我们考生在阅读时常常顾前不顾后，不懂得删繁就简，看句子的主干。
对策：
我们平时在练习阅读的过程中就要学会对句子的结构进行分析，弄清楚句子的各个组成部分，学会在
短时间内找到句子的主干。
例：
找出句子主要成分
1). This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical
treasure—a 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by Dekorah Logan, a woman who knew everybody in her day.
2). A Lebanese who had left the country for Syria during the conflict between Israel and Hizbollah, returns with
her family following the ceasefire, at the Lebanon-Syria border in Magdel Anjar August 14, 2006.
3). A 53-point win over South Korea wrapped up a perfect Asian exhibition tour for a star-studded U.S. team on its
way to the world championships.
3、错题原因三——主旨大意题解题技巧（考查重点）

3 、目的主旨大意题
The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is______.
The passage is meant to _____
The purpose of this article is _______
文章的主旨是通过段落来表达的, 而段落的大意主要由主题句来体现, 所以段落的主题句是构成文章
中心思想的有机组成部分. 因此, 识别各个段落的主题句并由此归纳出文章的中心思想是解答该类题的关
键.
常见的主题句呈现的形式有：
1）文首开门见山, 提出主题, 随之用细节来解释, 支撑或发展主题句所表达的主题思想. 最常见的演
绎法写作方式；
2).文尾，在表述细节后, 归纳要点, 印象, 结论建议或结果, 以概括主题. 这是英语中最常见的归纳
法写作方式；
3).文中，通常前面只提出问题， 文中的主题由随之陈述的细节或合乎逻辑的引申在文中导出, 而后
又作进一步的解释, 支撑或发展；
4).首尾呼应，为突出主题, 作者先提出主题, 结尾时再次点出主题, 这种首尾呼应的写作方式较为多
见. 但前后表述主题的句子不是简单的重复, 后面的表述往往有进一步的引申或发展的意味。
（首段）Shu Pulong has helped at least 1000 people bitten by snakes, “ It was seeing people with snakes
bites that led me to the career.“she said…
（尾段）“The sad story touched me so much that I decided to devote myself to helping people bitten by
snakes.”Shu said.
5).无主题句，即主题句隐含在全文中, 没有明确的主题句. 必须根据文篇中所提供的事实细节，进行
全面考虑，综合分析，然后找出共同的东西，归纳成一般概念。必须注意的是，既不能以偏概全，也不能
在概括时过于宽泛，要恰如其分。
例 9.Joshua Bingham studied 4 years at the University of Paris and decided to leave his graduation. He
transferred to the University of Berlin and graduated with honors. Harvard Law School and, later, Boston College
provided him with an excellent legal background. He is presently a corporation lawyer in Miami, Florida.
Q: What is the main idea of the passage? ＿＿＿＿
A. How Joshua Bingham became a lawyer.
B. Bingham is a diligent student.
C. Joshua Bingham received an excellent education.
D. A good lawyer needs good education.
除了以上主题句呈现的常见形式外还要注意标志词。文章或段落的主题句常常会出现在一些标志性的
提示后面。
如：on the whole,
as a result,
in short,
therefore, thus…..I agree with the opinion that….;
Given all these points above, I would support the idea that….;
For all the reasons mentioned above, I would prefer….
干扰项的特点
1）. 以偏概全：答案只阐述了主旨的一部分，也就是局部信息，概括不够。
2）. 主题扩大：归纳和概括的范围过大，超过了文章讨论的东西。
3）. 断章取义：常以次要的事实、细节冒充全文主要观点。

2009 年高考（C）篇
(C)
“ Get your hands off me, I have been stolen,” the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new
solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.
The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer’s screen and even to set a spoken
message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the
first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.
Owners must report their laptop missing by logging on to a website, which sends a message to the model: a
red and yellow “lost or stolen” banner pops up on its screen when it is started. Under the latest version(版本) of
the software, users can also send a spoken message.
The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. “One
customer sent a message saying, ‘You are being tracked. I am right at your door’,” said Carrie Hafeman, chief
executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.
In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. The default through the computer’s speakers is:
“Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, please report me now.”
The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 (￡21) but has a free trial period, has the functions of
many security software programs. Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password prompt if they fear that
the thief has also got hold of the access details.
If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the internet service
provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.
Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing,
the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.
Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.
75. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?
A. With no Retriever, thousand of laptops are stolen every year.
B. A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.
C. Retriever has help to find thieves and lost computers.
D. A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.
2009 年高考（D）篇
(D)
The latest research suggests a more prosaic, democratic, even puritanical view of the world. The key factor
separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not a divine spark. It’s not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of
success, even in realms like chess. Instead, it’s deliberate practice. Top performers spend more hours (many more
hours) rigorously practicing their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a
girl who possessed a slightly above average verbal ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that
she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally
shared some similar biographical traits. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same ethnic
background, or, shared the same birthday.
This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle

she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense
of insecurity and fueling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life
stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She’d be able to see new
writing in deeper ways and quickly perceive its inner workings.
Then she would practice writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practicing in
this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into
unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practicing slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and
repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who
would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest
errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems—how do I get characters into a
room—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand
or solve future problems.
The primary trait she possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability to develop a purposeful,
laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it
underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re “hard-wired” to
do. And it’s true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves
through behavior.
76. The passage mainly deals with _______.
A. the function of I.Q. in cultivating a writer
B. the relationship between genius and success
C. the decisive factor in making a genius
D. the way of gaining some sense of distinction

例
While parents, particularly mothers, have always been attached to their infants （婴儿）， societal conditions
frequently made this attachment difficult to maintain （ 保 持 ） . First of all, the high infant death rate in the
pre-modern times meant that such attachments often ended in hopelessness. Perhaps to prevent the sadness that
infant death caused, a number of societal practices developed which worked against early attachment of mother
and child.
One of these pre-modern attachment-discouraging practices was to leave infants unnamed until they had
survived into the second year. Another practice that discouraged maternal （ 母 亲 的） attachment was tightly
wrapping（包裹）infants. Wrapping effectively prevented the close physical interactions like stroking （抚摸）
and kissing that are so much a part of modem mothers’ and fathers’ affection for their infants.
A third practice which had the same distancing effect was wet-nursing. Breast-feeding （母乳哺育）was not
popular among the well-to-do in the early modern times; infants were often fed by wet nurses hired for the
purpose. In some places, such as nineteenth-century France, city infants were sent to wet nurses in the country.
Often a wet nurse would feed her own child first, leaving little milk for the city infant-who. in many cases, died.
In Rouen, the death rate for children sent to a wet nurse was 35 percent.
71. Which is the best title for the passage?

The Marches were a happy family. Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with
the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Matinee, as the March girls called their
mother.
The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults, Pretty Meg was often displeased with
the schoolchildren .she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show
up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always.
The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. "Your husband is
very ill," it said, "come at once." The girls tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and
prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩红热) when she was taking care of a sick neighbor. She became very ill
but began to recover by the time Marmee was back. Then Father came home from the front and at that joyful
Christmas dinner they were once more all together.
Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a
few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had
grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully
regained her health, arid her family watched her with love and anxiety.
