S. , Canada, and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These include UFOs as well as sightings and encounters with f,nonhuman creaturesff such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive some attention as well. Although the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public is also becoming aware of unusual, paranormal phenomena in countries such as Peru.The Nazca "lines, of Peru were discovered in the 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet - meaning from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B. C. , when it is judged the designs were made. Nor were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain ranges from which to view them.So how and why did the native people of Nazca create thesemarvelous designs? One answer appeared in 1969, when the German researcher and writer Erich von Daniken proposed that the lines were drawn by extraterrestrials as runways for their aircraft. The scientific community did not take long to scoffat and abandon von Danikens theory. Over the years several other theories have been put forth, but none has been accepted by the scientific community.Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazca lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the Internet. Currently there are over 60 sites dedicated to this mystery from Latin Americas past, and even respected scientists have joined the discussion through e-mail and chat rooms.Will the Internet help explain these unsolved mysteries? Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.86. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Latin America has long received attention for unusual phenomena.B. Public attention is now directed towards countries like Peru.C. Public interest usually focuses on North America andEurope.Some ancient civilizations have unsolved mysteries.87. According to the passage, the Nazca lines were found A. in mountains.B. in stones.C. on animals.D. on a plain.88. We can infer from the passage that the higher the lines are seen, the the images they present.A. smallerlargerB. clearerbrighter89. There has been increasing interest in the Nazca lines mainly because ofthe participation of scientists.A. the emergence of the Internet.B. the birth of new theories.C. the interest in the Internet.90.

They dated for nine years before they got married.Although he often had the opportunity, Mr. Tritt never stole money from a customer. This would have endangered his position at the bank, and he did not want to jeopardize his future.(3)反义对照在表示对照的上下文中，常包含有意义相反的词语 或概念，这些意义相反的概念可以互为线索，帮助我们猜度词义。常 有以下一些信号 词：although, but, however, though, whereas,while, yet, on the contrary, on the other hand 等。 例： Chimpanzees(猩猩)in the wild use simple objects as tools, but in laboratory situations they can use more sophisticated items.Most dentists-offices are drab places, while Emilio' s new office is a bright, cheerful place.(4)搭配集合利用词与词的'搭配或该词所出现的语境，我们也 能推知词义的大概轮廓。例：People gathered to look. Three fine streams of hot water sprouted from holes in the jacket (套，壳)of the radiator.A man is watering his lawn just as an attractive, well dressed girl walked by. As he ogles her, he accidentally turns the hose on his ugly, dowdy wife.(5)比拟举例 上下文中的比拟和举例，能揭示比拟物或列举物之 间的共性，我们可根据这些共性来推知有关词语的意思。例：The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area.Doctors believe that smoking cigarettes is detrimental to your health. They also regard drinking as harmful.(6)因果时间因与果、时间的先与后都是事物开展变化过程中的必然关系，在利用上下文推测词义时，这些关系也至关重要。例:Robert is considered peremptory administrator because he makes decisions without seeking the opinions of others.When Mark was in pedantic mood, he assumed the manner of a famous professor and gave long lectures on boring, insignificant topics.(7)常识包括我们的生活经历、经验常识以及自己专业方面的知 识，在阅读到与自己专业相近的文章时，我们都会感到相对容易，这 正是我们的专业知识在帮我们理解。例：An apple falls down instead of up because of gravity.An atomic clock is so precise that it can be used to check the accuracy of predictions based on Einstein' s relativity theories.试题2PART IV GRAMMER &VOCABULARY 15MINThere are thirty sentences in this section.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.TEXT AIf you like the idea of staying with with a family, living in house might be the answer. Good landladiesthose who aresuperb cooks and launderers,are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guest and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity. The truth is probably somewhere between the two extremes. If you are lucky,the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort and chompanionship . For the less fortune ,house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to vistit,and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row-provoking if tidy and untidy guest are living under the same roof.The same disadvantages can apply to flat sharing,with the added difficulties that arise from deciding who pays for what, and in what proportion. One person may spend hours on the phone,while another rarely makes calls. If you want privacy with guest , how do you persuade the others to go out； how doyou persuade them to leave you in peace, especially if you are student and want to study?Conversely,flat sharing can be very cheap,there will always be someone to talk to and go out with, and the chores, in theory,can be shared.75. According to the passage ,landladies are A.usually strict.B. always mean.C. adequately competent.D. very popular with their guest.76. What is the additional disadvantage of flat sharing ?A. Problems of sharing and paying.B. Differences in living habits.C. Shared cooking and bathroom facilities.D. Restriction to invite friends to visit.77. What is NOT mentioned as a benefit of flat sharing?A. Rent is affordableThere is companionship.B. Housework.C. There is peace and quiet.TEXT B(1) Travelling through the country a couple of weeks ago on business, I was listening to the talk of the late UK writer Douglas Adams' master work “The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” on the radio and thought-I know, I' 11 pick up the next hitchhikers I see and ask them wahat the state of real hitching is today in Britain.(2) I drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next few days and never saw a single one.(3)When I was in my teens and 20s , hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport.
