How honest are Asians today?Do people in the region's smaller communities have more integrity than residents of the megacities?What motivates people to do the right thing?
Over a four-month period late last year,we tried to find out with a simple test.We visited 14 cities,towns and communities in nine countries.In each,we"lost"ten ordinary wallets filled with the local equivalent of ¥10 to¥50 in cash,a local address and phone number,classified ads from local newspapers,handwritten shopping lists,everything needed to make the wallets look real.Then we waited to see what would happen.
The results were more revealing than we expected.Overall,out of 140 wallets we dropped across Asia,80 were returned一 57 percent. A similar experiment in Europe resulted in almost identical totals.Out of 200 wallets dropped in Europe,116 were returnedes 一58 percent.In the United States,the return rate was slightly higher:80 out of 120一67 percent.
In the US,only one person declined to take the money in the wallet when it was offered as a reward for being honest.In Europe,more than a quarter refused to take the money.In Asia,a staggering 72 percent of those who returned the wallets一 58 of 80一said no to any reward.
"I cannot accept a reward for having done the right thing,"said a university student in Seoul. Among those who did accept the money,several said they intended to donate it to a charity or religious organization.
Within Asia we found other interesting results.Two-thirds of all our wallets were retrieved by men.But once the wallet was picked up,it made little difference whether the finder was male or fe-male.In our study,58 percent of the women who picked up wallets returned them and so did 56 percent of the men.
Are the people in Asia's giant population centers less honest than in its smaller cities?It seemed so. The lowest combined rate of return一still a respectable 50 percent一was in the three largest cities visited:Seoul,Bombay and Manila. The best rates of return were in the less populous cities一 Singapore;Inchon,Korea;Trivandrum,India;and Kamakura,Japan一with populations ranging from 180,000 to 2.8 million.

Compared with the US and the Europe,more people in Asia refused the money as a reward for being honest.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned.

答案:A
解析:
文章最后一段提到了“在亚洲人口密集的大城市里的人们不如那里中小城镇的居民诚实”,这是对第一段提出问题的回应。因此这句话是正确的。
第三段提到“在亚洲,有80个钱包也就是57%被归还”,由此可以看出本句的表述是错误的。
文章第三段的数据告诉我们,亚洲的归还率是57%,欧洲的归还率是58%,而在美国归还率为67%。因此本句的表述是正确的。
第四段讲到在美国仅有一人拒绝接受钱包里的钱作为酬谢,欧洲有1/4 的人拒绝,而亚洲有76%的人拒绝。相比而言,亚洲拒绝的人最多,因此本句的表述是正确的。
文章最后一段讲到在亚洲人口密集城市的居民不如人口较少城市的人诚实,但是并不是说全世界都是这样,因此选择C。
在文章最后一段中我们了解到镰仓和新加坡人口较少,但是我们并不知道两者比较起来谁的居民更多,因此选择C。
文章第六段第二句讲到亚洲测试的结果显示2/3的钱包是男士归还的,因此本句的表述是归还的。

第3题:

根据下列材料请回答 26~30 题:

B

Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.

About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.

In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners" because they worked near Bow Street.

Fifty years later, there were 120 "Bow Street Runners", but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829, the first Metropolitan (or London)Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men.

Today. the London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others.

第 26 题 In 1700, the men who protected the streets were paid __________.

A. a few

B. nothing

C. a little

D. a lot


正确答案:B
根据第一段最后中的they were not paid可以知道他们没有任何报酬,所以答案选B。

_________(54)
A:by
B:for
C:at
D:in

答案:A
解析:
根据后面这句:孩子们一旦显示出左撇子的倾向就会被强迫使用右手,可以推断出人们在最近之前一直都认为使用左手是很不好的,因此这里选D "abnormal",意思是:不正常的。unique“独特的”;eccentric“古怪的”;normal“正常的”。
generally accepted“普遍接受的”。admit“承认”;approve“同意,许可”;acknowledge“认可”。
where引导定语从句修饰world。
by contrast“相比之下”。
result in“导致,造成”;result from“由于······而造成”。
majority“大多数”;minority“少数”;plenty“很多”,通常修饰不可数名词; lack“缺乏”。这句话的意思是:从反面投掷、踢腿、拳击或者是用球拍击打可能会把大多数习惯了对付使用右手的对手们彻底击败。
game“比赛,赛事”;hobby“业余爱好”;activity“活动”;round“轮(比赛)”。这句话的意思是:这就是为什么在很多专业级别的比赛中,左撇子的比例要高于普通人群中左撇子的比例。
be connected with“跟······联系在一起”;related要和介词to搭配使用;mix “混合”,意思在这里不合适;combine“结合”,常和with搭配,意思不合适。本句话的意思是: “右”这个词在很多语言中都意味着“正确”或者和“合法”联系在一起。
be associated with sth.“和······相关联”,这句话中associated with "left", 是定语,修饰words。
根据句中转折连词whereas可以判断两种情况形成对照,既然和“右”相关的词汇意味着“正确”“合法”,因此whereas后的句子中说的就是相反的情况,因此这里选择 negative , negative association的意思是“负面的含义”。
There is a close association between...and…意思是:······和······之间关系密切。这句话的意思是:而且在很多原始的部落里,左手和死亡也密切相关。
tie“绑,捆”; attach“连接,附属”; bring“带来”; remove“拿走,脱掉”。这句话的意思是:有时候孩子的左手被绑在背后避免他使用。
这里是there be结构。
这句话的意思是:将来如果孩子们可以自己选择,一定会有更多的左撤子,而由于被迫使用右手导致轻微心理问题的人数也会减少。

As a result,no more than 50 percent of the wallets were returned in Asia.
A:Right

第6题:

Janet as well as the other young people who ____ sent abroad by government ___ brought up in the small town.

A. was;was
B. was;were
C. were ;were
D. were ;was

答案:D
解析:
引出定语从句的关系代词作从句的主语,而它又前指复数名词“people”,所以考虑到主谓一致谓语动词用“were”。一个名词后有“as well as”引出的短语时,单复数仍然以那个名词本身的单复数确定。此处主句主语是“Janet",单数第三人称,所以谓语用“was”。故选D。

Life Expectancy in the Last Hundred Years
A hundred years ago,life expectancy in developed countries was about 47;in the early 21 st century,men in the United States and the United Kingdom can expect to live to about 74,women to about 80, and these______(51)are rising all the time .What has brought______(52) these changes?When we look at the life______(53)of people 100 years ago,we need to look at the greatest______(54)of the time .In the early 20th century,these were the acute and of-ten______(55)infectious diseases such as smallpox.Many children died very young from these diseases and others,and the weak and elderly were always at risk.

The killers today can be classed as"lifestyle diseases",which means that it may be possiblem to halt their progress.

51._________
A: countries
B: lives
C: years
D: ages

答案:D
解析:
通过上下文可知此处应为“年龄”。


bring ahout意为“带来”,bring in意为“赚取,实现”(一定利润),没有bring to这个短语,如果用with,此句话必须变成what has it hrought with these changes才符合语法,但意思就不符合文章了。


life span是一个固定搭配,意为“寿命”。


从下一句可以看出此处应指那些不治之症。


本句举了天花的例子,下一句指出很多孩子死于这些病,所以此处应为一个表严重的词。high是形容词,不能修饰后面的形容词。acute不是比较级,所以and后面也不应用比较级。


本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失,通过常识得知应该是发达国家。


本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失,整段都在说明情况好转,故选C。


冒号后面列举的内容不能统一用其他几个词概括,只能用factor。


注意这里的which不是非限制定语从句中指代前面一句话的作用,而是指代前面两项内容:卫生的改善和杭生素的发明使用,所以which后的动词不用单三形式。cause 没有这样的语法搭配。


该选项为固定搭配,意为对某种疾病的预防接种。


前面说的是对疾病的防范和控制加强,后面说的是整体环境的改善,两者为并列关系,但是And在书面语中不能这样使用,所以只能选in addition。


整句话的意思是:从基因角度看,人都能活到85岁,但是虽然现在人们寿命确实比以前长了,仍然有一些疾病使得我们不能都活到那个岁数。所以此处应该填一个转折副词。


those指代流感和艾滋病等靠病毒传播的疾病,those后面的动词是过去分词作定语。spread的过去分词与原形相同。


本句最后指出一些病越来越年轻化,所以此处应选择younger的反义词。


obesitv是心脏病和糖尿病年轻化的重要原因,它和心脏病、糖尿病不是并列关系,而是因果关系,所以选择leading to,现在分词作结果状语。

A.The Earliest People in North Americ
B.The Earliest Immigrants to North Americ
C.The People of the United State
D.Europeans were the Earliest People Coming to the North Americ
