[錄音文稿]
W:When a couple runssintosmarriage problems,swheresshould they turn?
M:The primary source of help should be the couple themselves. The last book I wrote, Four Weekends to an Ideal Marriage, describes how people can strengthen communication by setting aside a special time or place to meet and discuss their relationship. If they cannot communicate verbally, they might at least write down a list of things that they feel have gone wrong in the marriage. The idea is to discuss these matters constructively, not to be vicious in the criticism. Some church groups have been very successful with marriage encounter weekends that help couples with this process.
W:What if a couple cant work things out for themselves?
M:If people feel so bitter that they cannot even talk with each other, they should consider very seriously a "qualified" psychologist. And I stress "qualified", because there are a lot of unqualified people out there who can make things worse. The best approach I believe is to ask your family physician. If you areshavingssome family problems or marriage problems, who would you seek out? In the main priests, despite good intentions, are not successful in counselling troubled couples, except for those who had special training in the behavioural sciences. If these two approaches do not work, then maybe the only solution is a divorce. This is particularly true if one of the parties simply refuses to work toward repairing the marriage, orshavingsgone through counselling does not want to implement the ideas suggested.
W:How useful are trial separations?
M:There is value only if during the course of the separation the parties are actively doing something to come close together and to find solutions to their problems. Merely relying on the old notion that absence will make the heart grow fonder never works.

If you feel tired all the time, you dont necessarily need to go to bed earlier-the solution could be as simple as taking a five-minute afternoon nap.
Children under five have an abundance of energy and one of the reasons is because they nap once or twice a day. Many sleep experts think were programmed to take a nap during the day, and getting backsintosthis habit can be a solution for those who feel tired all the time.
Prof Chris Idzikowski of the Sleep Advisory and Assessment Centre thinks that one can feel refreshed after just five minutessleep. And research has shown that concentration and attention are improved after even a short nap.
Sleep is genetically programmed in babies and its only as we get older that we learn to sleep for about eight hours a night and not at all during the day. But most research suggests that we are not physically designed to sleep for one long, single block.
Before the working day became nine to five, all Western sleep patterns were more broken up. Research has shown that in the Middle Ages, peoples sleep quite often occurred in three distinct parts-a nap in the afternoon, an early morning nap and another, longer sleep until dawn.
So if you do find yourself feeling sleepy through the day, dont feel youre being lazy by giving in to sleep andshavingsa nap. Your increased energy and alertness will make the rest of your day extra productive.

W:Good morning, Dr. Sherman Alexie. Lets talk about your life.swheresdo you come from?
M:I come from the Rez, an Indian reservation. I grew up there, lived there until 18. I lived on and off the reservation for the next 6 or 7 years during college. I lived there after I graduated and worked at a high school exchange program. I thought I do that kind of job to support my writing, day jobs that require no emotional investment beyond 8 hours a dayswheresI would not need to bring work home. I did not want to be part of management or anybody important on the job. I wanted to be completely replaceable. That is what I thought I would be doing for most of my life and writing. Then I got a grant and my first book got a front page review in the New York Times Book Review.
W:When did writing enter your life?
M:Books have always been in my life. My dad loved books and most of what he read were westerns, spy novels, mysteries. I grew up loving books, copying my dads love for books. But nobody had showed me a book written by an Indian, not even one piece of a poem. Nothing. At that time, I was going to be a physician. I loved maths and science. I got to college, could not handle physiology, and was looking around for options and took a poetry writing class for fun.
W:Poetry was your way in?
M:ThatsswheresI started. I took the class and honestly I thought poetry would be an easy grade. But I completely underestimated poetry and what it would do to me, and a realm of possibility for it. I took the class and was hooked about ten minutes after reading my first contemporary poem.

In public speaking, the watchword is preparation. Most of us tend to put things off, at least occasionally. Its so easy to put things off, especially those things we do not look forward to doing. So if a speaking engagement is several weeks off, we may feel we still have plenty of time. But as the day draws closer, we begin to panic.
Do not let this happen to you. Start preparing as soon as you are given or accept the speaking assignment. You have much to do and to do it right will take time. How much better your speech will be, how much better you will feel, if you have taken the time to do it right. When you are prepared, you have gathered the needed data, determined what is appropriate to the listenersunderstanding and acceptance levels, organized the ideas so they flow logically, selected examples and other supports for your ideas, and made them interesting to your listeners. Develop a great opening that you know will catch the attention of even daydreamers in your audience.Check out the room you will be speaking. Request any feasible changes which you wish in the setup of the room. If you are prepared, you are confident you can best convey your message to your listeners.
If you have waited until a few days before your presentation to begin to prepare, or worse yet the day before, no doubt you will be anxious,and with good reasons. Now there is not enough time to engage in more than a superficial attempt. Both you and your audience will feel uncomfortable. Like retirement planning, it is never too early to start preparing for your presentation. So start preparing right away.
SectionⅡUse of English
21[答案]A[考點]短語give thought to的用法
[分析]本題要求考生判斷在四個選項中哪一個能與give…to構成短語。在英語中give thought to(給予考慮)是一個固定搭配,如:I gave much thought to what he said yesterday.(我對他昨天說的那番話作了許多考慮)。其中的thought不能替換為別的詞匯,因此[B]idea和[C]opinion應該排除。[D]advice(忠告)填入空缺后,結構上可以講得通,但意義上不符合要求。
22[答案]B[考點]動詞accommodate的特殊意義
[分析]本句相關的部分說,老師應該注意青少年所面臨的感情上、思想上和身體上的變化,他們須認真考慮這些青少年如何能夠……這些變化。這里所需要的動詞應該是"適應"。
本題要求考生判斷在四個選項中哪一個有"適應"的意思。在所提供的選項中,四個動詞四個方向,意思各不相同。只有[B]accommodate(留宿,收容)有"適應"的意思。
23[答案]C[考點]上下文推理
[分析]本句相關部分說,成長的身體需要運動和……,但不僅僅是在強調競賽的方面需要這些。本題要求考生判斷在四個選項中哪一個是身體成長的時候所需要的另一樣東西。
身體成長的時候需要的東西很多,從某種意義上說,選項中所提到的四種東西都是需要的,但是文章上下文對這里所需要的東西進行了限定,那就是它必須與競賽有關。在四個選項中,只有[C]exercise(鍛煉)可以用于競賽,因此它是正確答案。
24[答案]D[考點]邏輯關系
[分析]本句相關部分說,……他們正在適應他們變化的身體和大量新的智力和感情的挑戰,這些青少年自我意識特別強烈。本題要求考生判斷兩個句子之間是什么邏輯關系。
從上下文看,兩個句子之間顯然是因果關系,即由于這些青少年正在適應新的情況,因此他們的自我意識特別強烈。在四個選項中[A]If表示條件關系,[B]Although和[C]Whereas表示轉折關系,只有[D]Because表示因果關系。
25[答案]C[考點]上下文推理
[分析]本句相關部分說,需要由獲得成功而得到的……。它要求考生判斷四個選項中哪一樣東西可以從成功中得到。
選項有[A]assistance(幫助),[B]guidance(引導),[C]confidence(自信)和[D]tolerance(容忍)。一般來講,獲得成功后,我們常常得到自信,而不是"幫助","指引"或"容忍"。因此[C]選項是正確答案。
26[答案]B[考點]上下文推理
[分析]本句相關部分說,青少年需要自信,自信來自成功,也來自他們的成績受到別人……。這里所需要的動詞應該是"羨慕"、"仰慕"。因為只有自己的成績受到別人羨慕時,自己才會有一種自信。
本題要求考生判斷四個選項中哪一個是"羨慕"、"仰慕"的意思。四個選項為[A]claimed(索取),[B]admired(羨慕),[C]ignored(忽視)和[D]surpassed(超越)。顯然,正確答案是[B]。
27[答案]D[考點]上下文推理
[分析]本句相關部分說,青少年典型的生活中已經充滿了許多競爭,因此在策劃的活動中勝者多敗者少是……。這里所需要的意思是正面的,而不是反面的,因此可以排除[A]improper(不恰當的)和[B]risky(有危險的)。
在剩下的[C]fair(公平的)和[D]wise(明智的)中,后者顯然更符合句意,因為這里的問題并不是公平不公平,而是明智不明智。由于青少年生活已經充滿競爭,因此在活動中讓勝者多一些是明智的。
28[答案]C[考點]邏輯關系
[分析]本句相關部分說,要策劃一些勝者多敗者少的活動,接著又說,出版學生刊物時多發表一些學生寫的書評等等。本題要求考生判斷兩部分之間是什么邏輯關系。
從上下文看,兩部分是例證的關系,因為"發表學生寫的書評"顯然是"勝者多敗者少的活動"的例子。四個選項中,[C]for example(例如)表示例證關系,是正確選項。其他選項[A]in effect(實際上),[B]as a result(結果)和[D]in a sense(在某種意義上講)都不符合句意。
29[答案]A[考點]上下文推理
[分析]本句前邊提到要策劃一些勝者多敗者少的活動,其中一種活動就是"……學生創作的藝術品"。這里所需要的動詞應該是"展示"。
本題要求考生判斷在選項中哪一個是"展示"的意思。四個選項為[A]displaying(展示),[B]describing(描寫),[C]creating(創造)和[D]exchanging(交換)。顯然只有[A]符合句意。
30[答案]D[考點]近義形容詞辨析
[分析]本句的相關部分說,各種小型俱樂部都可以為訓練領導才能提供……機會。它要求考生判斷小型俱樂部可以為訓練領導才能提供什么樣的機會。
在選項中有[A]durable(持久耐用的),[B]excessive(過多的),[C]surplus(多余的)和[D]multiple(眾多的)。顯然只有[D]選項比較符合句意。
31[答案]A[考點]上下文推理
[分析]本句的相關部分說,各種小型俱樂部都可以為訓練領導才能提供多種機會,也在成功地處理……動態關系方面提供練習。本題要求考生判斷學生應該學習處理什么樣的動態關系。
dynamics意為"動力學","動態關系"。選項中有[A]group(小組),individual(個人),personnel(全體人員)和corporation(公司)。"個人"和"動態關系"兩個概念相互矛盾,"全體人員"和"公司"不適合文章談論的對象。對于學校學生來說,在"小組動態關系"方面提供練習的說法比較合理,因此,[A]group為正確答案。
32[答案]D[考點]上下文推理
[分析]本句相關部分說,交朋友對青少年極端重要,許多靦腆的學生都需要某種團體所提供的……。本題要求考生判斷"團體"能夠為靦腆的學生提供什么。
在選項中有consent(同意),insurance(保證),admission(接納)和security(安全感)。靦腆的學生所需要的顯然是"安全感",而不是"同意","保證"和"接納"。因為靦腆的學生需要交朋友,需要加入某種團體以獲得安全感。
33[答案]B[考點]上下文推理
[分析]前文提到,靦腆的學生需要一定的安全感,現在文章又解釋說,這種安全感來自一位成人在背后……能夠看見的地方提供支持。本題要求考生判斷這個成人是在背后什么樣的地方提供支持。
選項中有particularly(特別),barely(僅僅),definitely(肯定)和rarely(很少,難得)。根據題意,青少年需要成人的支持,但不需要成人的參與,因此"特別"和"肯定"都不合適。但是,成人又不能離開或不在場,因此,"很少,難得"也不合適。成人必須在場,但又在不顯眼的地方,因此"僅僅能夠看見"符合題意。
34[答案]D[考點]常識的運用
[分析]本句中的attention span意為"注意力的持續時間"。本題要求考生判斷青少年的注意力持續時間是長還是短。
按常理,青少年一般比較好動,往往不能持續地關注某一件事。據說,小學生注意力的持續時間大約為半小時,超過半小時后,他們就不能夠集中精力。隨著年齡的增長,人的注意力持續時間會增長,成人一般能夠持續工作3-4小時。在此題中,文章討論的是青少年的問題,因此應該選擇[D]short。即"青少年的注意力持續時間較短"。
35[答案]C[考點]邏輯關系
[分析]本句前一部分意為"應該組織各種各樣的活動";后一部分意為"參加者愿意活動多久就活動多久"。本題要求考生判斷兩部分之間是什么邏輯關系。
從上下文看,兩者之間的關系是手段與目的的關系,即"應該組織各種各樣的活動",以便讓"參加者愿意活動多久就活動多久"。選項[A]if only意為"如果……該有多好"。如:If only he comes on time.(要是他準時來就好了!)選項[B]now that意為"既然",如:Now that everyone is here,lets start the meeting.(既然所有人都到了,我們開會吧。)選項[D]even if意為"即使",如:Even if he came,the result would be the same.(即使他來了,結果還是會一樣。)只有選項[C]so that(以便,以致)表示目的,符合題意,是正確選項。
36[答案]D[考點]語法知識
[分析]本題要求考生判斷選項中的everything,nothing,anything和something哪一個與else搭配比較符合題意。
在不同情況下,四個選項都可與else搭配。但是,根據語法的要求,anything只能用于疑問句和否定句中,所以在此不適合。而nothing和everything不符合題意,因為這里所需要的是"其他某種活動"的意思,而不是"其他所有活動"或"沒有其他任何活動"。因此[D]something是正確選項。
37[答案]B[考點]短語let…down的用法
[分析]句子相關部分說,應該組織各種各樣的活動,以使參加者愿意活動多久就活動多久,然后轉入別的活動,而不會感到內疚,或讓其他參加者……。這里所需要的顯然是"失望"之類的意思。
本題要求考生在選項中挑選一個副詞,與let搭配并表示"失望"。所有選項都可以與let搭配,但它們意義不同。let off和let out都是"放掉","放出"的意思,let…alone是"不干涉","不管"的意思。只有[B]let…down(使……失望)符合題意。
38[答案]A[考點]邏輯關系
[分析]句子相關部分說,這并不是說大人必須接受不負責任的狀態,然后又說,"他們可以幫助學生獲得一種責任感"。本題要求考生判斷兩句話之間是什么邏輯關系。
從上下文中,我們可以看到,兩部分的意思是對立的,即后一部分與前一部分相反。在選項中,[B]On the average(按平均數計算)和[C]On the whole(總的看來)不符合題意,[D]On the other hand(另一方面)意思并不準確,只有[A]On the contrary(相反)能夠準確表達原文意思。
39[答案]C[考點]動詞短語的辨析
[分析]本題要求考生識別選項中的動詞與句中的for搭配后構成動詞短語。
在選項中有三個動詞可與for搭配:standing for意為"代表",making for意為"走向",taking for意為"認為,誤認為"。但是這些意思填入空格后都不符合句意的要求。剩下的planning并不能與for構成短語,但它填入空格后與上文的組織各種各樣的活動相關聯。這一部分的意思是"通過策劃以創造一些適合他們……的角色"。
40[答案]A[考點]上下文推理
[分析]句子相關部分說,"通過策劃以創造一些適合他們……的角色"。定語從句that are within their…修飾"角色",限定這些角色的性質。那么它們的性質是什么呢?
本題要求考生判斷這些角色適合青少年的什么。在選項中有capabilities(能力),responsibilities(責任),proficiency(熟練程度)和efficiency(效率)。顯然只有選項[A]capabilities(能力)符合句意的要求。填入空格后句子的意思是"通過策劃創造一些適合他們能力,適合他們注意力持續時間的角色"。
SectionⅢReading Comprehension
Part A
(Text 1)大意
比爾·多諾萬肯定會喜歡網絡。這位美國間諜大王對情報著迷,他曾經在第二次世界大戰時建立了戰略事務辦公室,后來又為中央情報局的成立打下了基礎。多諾萬相信,在諜報工作這個"大游戲"中可以使用任何手段。如今,互聯網已經改變了買書和寄信這樣的日常活動,也正在改變多諾萬曾經從事的這個職業。
比較近的這次改變不僅僅是一個人偷看別人的電子郵件的問題。這樣的電子間諜活動已經存在了數十年。在過去的三四年中,國際互聯網已經派生出一個可稱為點擊諜報的完整的產業。間諜們把它稱為"公開來源情報"。隨著互聯網的增長,這樣的情報變得越來越有影響力。1995年,中央情報局舉辦了一次競賽,看誰能夠就"布朗迪"收集到比較多信息。勝者勝出了一大截,僅是弗吉尼亞的一個小公司,名為"公開來源解決方案",它的明顯優勢是它對電子世界的把握。
在這個新的電子世界中比較引起轟動的是一個叫司特雷福的公司,它是德克薩斯州奧斯汀市的一個私營的情報分析公司。該公司的業務(范圍包括從智利到俄羅斯的一系列國家)是將情報銷售給"麥克德莫國際"這樣的能源公司。它的許多預測在網上都可以查閱,網址為wwwstraitfordcom。
該公司的總裁喬治·弗萊德曼說,他把網絡世界視為情報收集和情報發布兩方面相互增強的工具,是間諜們的夢想。上周,他的公司正在從世界的另一角落收集零散的信息,并預測在烏克蘭將發生一場危機。"一旦這個報道發布,我們將從烏克蘭突然新增500個瀏覽用戶,"曾經做過政治學教授的弗萊德曼說,"我們將聽到其中一些人的回應。"當然,公開來源的諜報活動的確有它的風險,因為很難區分正確與錯誤的信息。這正是司特雷福公司掙飯吃的地方。
弗萊德曼只在奧斯汀市雇用了區區20位雇員。其中的一些有軍事情報工作背景。他把公司的"局外人"地位視為它成功的關鍵。司特雷福公司的簡報聽上去不像華盛頓當局常常提供的躲閃的言辭
