　　总体分析本文主要介绍了对失眠的研究工作。文章第一段指出慢性失眠是一个重要的公共健康问题，但其致病原因仍是个迷。第二段介绍了(美)全国卫生研究所一个专家小组的结论，该小组呼吁对失眠进行广泛的研究。第三段讨论了失眠与其他因素，如疾病、年龄、药物等的关系。第四段介绍了(美)全国卫生研究所对失眠正在进行的研究情况。

　　全文翻译慢性失眠是一个主要的公共健康问题。而且，太多人正使用未经验证的治疗方法，尽管有些方法确实是有效的。上百万的美国人夜里睡不着觉，躺着数羔羊、喝杯烈酒或吞个药片，希望这会使他们产生困意。然而，专家们一致认为，自作主张乱吃药并不是解决失眠的好方法，导致慢性失眠的原因目前还是一个谜。

　　几乎有1/3的成年人存在睡眠障碍，而且大约10%的人有白天功能减退的症状，这些症状表明他们确实患上了失眠症。但是，一个由(美)全国卫生研究所召集的专家小组在周三得出这样的结论：尽管(社会上关于长期失眠的)抱怨很多，但科学家们对长期失眠的原因，它对健康的影响以及如何有效地治疗都知之甚少。该专家小组呼吁对失眠症进行广泛研究，指出如果科学家们了解了失眠的潜在原因，他们可能会发现更好的治疗方法。

　　很多，但不是所有的失眠症被认为伴随着其他健康问题产生，从关节炎、抑郁到心血管疾病。而问题通常是不知道是先产生失眠，还是失眠是其他疾病的结果，以及失眠如何又使其他问题变得更加复杂。撇开其他疾病不说，失眠的可能性随着年龄的增加而增加，而且在妇女中更加普遍，尤其是50岁以后。吸烟、咖啡因及众多的处方药也影响睡眠。

　　(美)全国卫生研究所今年要花大约2000亿美元用于睡眠的相关研究，其中一些以特定的(睡眠)紊乱为目标，另外一些观察控制睡眠神经系统的潜在科学规律。该机构正等待专家小组的评论以决定对失眠进行的下一步研究工作。

　　总体分析

　　本文描述了在冰雪覆盖的路面上开车的经历。文章首句为主题句，概括了这种经历的特点是“令人非常紧张”。第二至四句分别介绍了下雪带来的隐患和机器变得没有多大用处。从第五句到文章最后则描述了在这种不利条件下和大卡车一同行驶的紧张经历。

　　全文翻译

　　在暴风雪中驱车长距离地行驶于冰雪覆盖的路面上是一种令人非常紧张的经历。矛盾的是雪一面轻轻地飘落，在强风中愉快地吹着，一面又不断地吹落可能带来危险的毯子，封冻窗户，挡住视线。机器的力量被减弱了。马、强有力的电子系统、深胎面的轮胎都毫无用处。一分钟前路面还很结实，下一分钟司机就在上面打滑，轻飘飘地，处于恐慌之中，想着从后面突然出现的笨重的挂了拖车的卡车会干出什么事情来。当你不得不开车经过这些卡车时，它们就像巨人一般。这时你行驶的速度不是当路面干燥时的60或70，而是25和30.并且它们的引擎听起来极其刺耳。雪、泥和冰渣滓从轮子下喷洒出来，使挡风玻璃变得模糊不清，然后格格作响地从车上掉下。卡车轮子下的空间很大，足以让你滑进去并被碾成肉酱。你一点点的往前挪动，经过卡车的后轮，中间的轮子，驾驶室，前轮，所有这一切都是极其缓慢地滑过去的。你继续笔直地往前开，因为突然超车抢道到卡车前面会使你的车滑倒，正好倒在大卡车的前面。最后终于和卡车有了一段距离了，你才慢慢地往后挪，挪到另外一车道上，现在你行使在卡车的前面了，但是引擎的声音仍然震耳欲聋。

　　总体分析

　　本文介绍了情人节的由来。第一段介绍情人节的前身牧神节以及该节日里抽签选恋人的庆祝活动。第二段介绍情人节是为了纪念一位罗马牧师。第三段指出情人节已经成为爱的主要象征。

　　全文翻译

　　圣瓦伦丁节(即，情人节)可能源自古罗马的牧神节。当凶猛的狼群在四周游荡时，古老的罗马人请求牧神卢帕克斯来帮助他们。一个向该神表达敬意的节日于2月15日举行。在这个节日的前夕女孩们的名字被写在纸条上并放入罐中。每位年轻的男子都抽一张纸条，被抽中名字的女孩在未来一年中将成为他的恋人。

　　传说这个节日之所以成为圣瓦伦丁节是为了纪念一位名叫瓦伦丁的罗马牧师。国王克劳底斯二世命令罗马士兵不得结婚或订婚。克劳底斯认为结了婚的士兵更愿意留守家中而不是上战场。当瓦伦丁违抗了国王的意愿，秘密让年轻人成了婚之后，他于2月14日即牧神节的前夕被处决。瓦伦丁死后，成了圣徒。基督教会牧师们将这个节日从15日改为14日，即，圣瓦伦丁节。现在这个节日纪念的是瓦伦丁而再不是牧神卢帕克斯。

　　圣瓦伦丁节在现代世界里已经成为爱和浪漫的一个主要象征。古代的爱神丘比特和他射入爱人心中的箭也许仍然被用来表现爱上某人或谈恋爱。但是我们也使用卡片和礼物，比如鲜花或珠宝来做同样的事情。在圣瓦伦丁节忘记给妻子或恋人送花有时能像忘记生日或结婚纪念日一样糟糕。

　　1. [标准答案][D]as well as

　　[考点分析]本题考察逻辑关系

　　[选项分析]因为考察逻辑关系，所以需要我们先对填空前后的原文信息做定位分析：文章身处大环境not only…..but also之中，这是一个明显的并列关系，表示“不仅……而且……”该空与前一句“his parents and his friends”也是并列关系，表示“与他本人以及伴侣的父母朋友相关” 所以答案只能是D. as well as.

　　A. by way of通过 B. with regard to 关于 C. on behalf of 代表

　　2. [标准答案][A] decide on

　　[考点分析]上下文语义

　　[选项分析]根据该句的主语a young man与宾语a likely spouse的关系，答案只能是A. decide on 决定。表示自己决定自己的对象。B. provide for 为……提供准备 C. compete with与……竞争 D. adapt to适用

　　3. [标准答案][B]arrange

　　[考点分析]上下文语义及动词辨析

　　[选项分析]该句意思为，他可以自己选择自己中意的伴侣并让父母_____相关事务。四个选项中，A. close 关闭 C renew 更新;恢复 D postpone“推迟”，语义不正确，只有B arrange安排是符合语境。

　　4. [标准答案][A]In theory

　　[考点分析]上下文语义

　　[选项分析]逻辑判断题。主要是看前后两句的含义，前面是说“他可以自己选择自己中意的伴侣并让父母安排相关事务，或者几乎不参与，完全让父母选择自己的对象。” 空格后面说“女方可以拒绝她父母所选择的对象。”这两句之间没有举例说明的关系，且有一个may，更证明A. In theory的正确性。而其他选项 B. Above all最重要的是， C. In time 准时 D. For example举例，均不符合题意。

　　5. [标准答案][C]After

　　[考点分析]上下文语义

　　[选项分析]根据下文“______a spouse has been selected, each family investigates the other……”知道，只有对象选择好后，父母才会去调查研究对方的背景。所以只有after才对。其他选项A. Unless 除非，否则 B. Lest 以免，唯恐 D. Although 尽管都不符合题意。

　　6. [标准答案][A]into

　　[考点分析]上下文语义及介词词义辨析

　　[选项分析] 这里主要是看marry与相关介词的固定搭配。这里marry into就是指嫁到，而其他选项均没有这层含义。

　　7. [标准答案][C]but

　　[考点分析]逻辑关系题

　　[选项分析]根据上文，说传统的婚礼时间跨度很长，但是到了1980s,婚礼只持续一天半。所以与前文发生转变。因此要选择but转折关系。

　　8. [标准答案][C]recite

　　[考点分析]上下文语义及动词词义辨析

　　[选项分析]空格处需要填一个动词，和后面的prayersofblessing所搭配，C选项recite为背诵的意思，与所给短语搭配最为合理，译为“为祈祷者做祈福”。

　　9. [标准答案][D]tying

　　[考点分析]上下文语义及动词词义辨析

　　[选项分析]本题需要根据上下文语义分析，空格处需要搭配后文“棉花线头”，纵观四个选项[A]折叠

　　[B]堆积[C]包裹[D]系上，根据选项含义，只有D和后文的“棉花线头”搭配最为合理。

　　10. [标准答案][A]passing

　　[考点分析]上下文语义及动词词义辨析

　　[选项分析]本题根据选项[A]传递[B]点亮[C]隐藏[D]服务，原文空格需要填写一个动词与后文“aroundacircle”来搭配，译为“将蜡烛传一圈”，故[A]传递为正确选项。

　　11. [标准答案][D]union

　　[考点分析]名词词义辨析

　　[选项分析]本题根据选项[A]协会，社团[B]会议，会面[C]集合[D]结合。本句语义为“这些受尊敬的夫妻祈祷…”根据语境，结婚是一种夫妻二人的结合，因此，选项[D]结合更符合语境。

　　12. [标准答案][D]live

　　[考点分析]上下文语义及动词词义辨析

　　[选项分析]本题比较简单。根据语义“根据传统，新婚夫妇要搬到妻子父母家，与父母____一年”根据语境，应为[D]居住为最佳答案。

　　13. [标准答案][B]until

　　[考点分析]时间逻辑关系

　　[选项分析]根据原文，“_____他们在附近建造一栋新房子”[A]然而[B]直到[C]为[D]如果结合语境，[B]直到最符合原文语境，搭配最为合理。

　　14. [标准答案] [D]obtain

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词词义辨析

　　[选项分析] Divorce is legal and relatively easy to __14__, but not common.该句句意为离婚是合法的，且相对容易____. A.avoid 避免B.follow 跟随C.chanllenge挑战，质疑D.obtain获得。这里出现and,所以对于离婚这件事不可能是避免或是挑战，但是跟随和离婚之间语义不符，但是获得离婚(的批准)是可以的。选D.

　　15. [标准答案] [D] viewed

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词词义辨析

　　[选项分析] Divorced persons are __15__ with some disapproval.离婚的人…一些不赞同。在段首，已经注明离婚是合法的且相对容易得到批准，但是不常见。这说明离婚在现实中肯定是不太受到人们的欢迎的。而接下来这句就说离婚的人…一些不赞同。再看选项：A.isolated孤立 B.persuaded劝说 C.viewed看做 D. exposed接触，受到…的影响 C选项固定搭配被认为，放进。

　　16. [标准答案] [B]whatever

　　[考点分析] 语法

　　[选项分析Each spouse retains ___16___ property he or she __17__ into the marriage, 17个空对应的都是动词，所以该句意思为：夫妇双方保有…财产，这个财产是他或她…(动词)进婚姻的。结合选项A whenever“无论何地;任何(地方)=any place where(定从)”。B whatever“无论什么;任何(东西)=anything that/any+N that”。C whenever无论何时;任何(时间=any time when)D however 无论如何;无论多么。根据语义，这里应该不是让步的关系,而且填的这个词还要能修饰property。因此，选择B =retains any property that he or she ….

　　17. [标准答案] [B]brought

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词义辨析

　　[选项分析] Each spouse retains ___16___ property he or she __17__ into the marriage,结合选项A changed“改变”。B brought “带来”。C shaped“形成” D pushed“推，逼迫”。结合语境只有B符合，把财产带入婚姻。

　　[选项分析] …and jointly-acquired property is __18__ equally.结合选项A invested投资 [B]divided平分 [C] donated 捐赠 [D]withdrawn撤出，提取。根据语义应该是共同财产被(夫妻双方)平分。

　　19. [标准答案] [C]shows

　　[考点分析] 动词固定搭配

　　[选项分析] Divorced persons may remarry, but a gender prejudice __19__up. 该句语义为离过婚的人或许会再婚，但是性别偏见…。结合选项A. warm(up)加热　　B.clear(up) 变晴 C.show (up) 显现 D.break(up)分裂，分开;显然C是正确选项。

Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers compare and contrast 1 places on earth. But they also 2 beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 3 . The word Geography 4 from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for “earth” and graphein, 5 means “ to write”. The English word geography means “to describe the earth”. 6 geography books 7 on a small area like a town or city. Other deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 8 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another 9 to divide the study of 10 is to distinguish between physical geography and 11 geography. The former focus on the natural world; the 12 starts with human beings and studies 13 human being and their environment act 14 each other. 15 when geography is considered as a single subject, 16 branch can neglect the other.

　　A geographer might be described 17 one who observes, records, and explains the 18 between places. If places were alike, there would be little need for geographer.

　　We know, 19 ,that no two places are exactly the same. Geography, 20 ,is a point of view, a special way of looking at places.

　　1. A. similarB. distantC. variousD. famous

　　2. A. passB. go C. reachD. get

　　3. A. wholeB. untilC. part D. total

　　4. A. fallsB. resultsC. removesD. comes

　　5. A. whatB. which C. that D. it

　　6. A. SomeB. MostC. ManyD. Few

　　7. A. relyB. restC. reckonD. focus

　　8. A. extensiveB. overallC. entire D. enormous

　　9. A. wayB. meansC. habitD. technique

　　10. A. world B. earthC. geographyD. globe

　　11. A. mental B. militaryC. economicD. cultural

　　12. A. second B. nextC. laterD. latter

　　13. A. when B. whatC. whereD. how

　　14. A. upon B. asC. forD. to

　　15. A. And B. ButC. ThereforeD. For

　　16. A. neither B. oneC. either D. each

　　17. A. for B. asC. toD. by

　　18. A. exceptions B. samenessC. differenceD. divisions

　　19. A. moreover B. meanwhileC. howeverD. or else

　　20. A. still B. then C. neverthelessD. moreover

　　参考答案：

　　1. 【答案】 C. various

　　【解析】本题测试词义搭配. various 各种各样的，不同的。句子的意思是“地理学家比较和对比地球上各种不同的地域”。可见，similar, famous, distant 均不符合题意

　　2. 【答案】B. go

　　【解析】本题测试惯用搭配.go beyond(= exceed) 超越，超过。

　　3. 【答案】A. whole

　　【解析】本题测试词义搭配. as a whole 作为整体，常跟在名词后面，如：We must examine these problems as a whole.

　　本句译为：但是地理学家不但研究各个领域，而且也把地球作为整体来考虑。

　　4. 【答案】D. comes

　　【解析】本题测试结构型词义搭配. come from 来自，来源于，正合题意。fall from 从…….落下;result from 由…… 产生，因……而造成：1)Sickness often results from eating too much. 2) Nothing has result from my efforts.

　　remove…from… 把……从…...去掉;撤职：1)It is difficult to remove the stain from the clothes. 2) They removed him from his position. 3) The corrupt official was removed from office. 由此可见 falls, results 与removes 均不符合题意。

　　5. 【答案】B. which

　　【解析】本题测试结构搭配. which 引导非限定性定语从句，修饰graphein.

　　6. 【答案】A. Some

　　注释：本题测试逻辑搭配.做cloze 试题的时，考生必须从语篇的角度去选择适当的词语，是文章在逻辑意思和结构上完整统一。本题与下句联系密切，下句中有Others,故本题应选Some,从而构成句型：Some…. Others…...。

　　7. 【答案】D. focus.

　　【解析】本题测试结构型词义搭配. 所列的四个候选动词后都可以接介词on，但词义不同。rely on 依靠。rest on 着落：Science rests on facts. (科学以事实为依据。)

　　reckon on 指望，依靠：We hope that we can reckon on your support.

　　focus on 集中讨论研究：These meetings focus on the strategies for the future. (这些会议集中研究未来战略。) focus 也可用作及物动词，意为“把…..集中在…..上”，例如：The students can focus their attention on the meaning of each sentence.可见，本题应选 D. focus

　　8. 【答案】C. entire

　　【解析】本题测试逻辑型词义搭配.上下文的意思是：有些地理书主要研究城镇这样的小地区，而另一些地理书则研究州，区域，国家或整个大洲。可见，这里谈话的中心是地理书研究的地区的大小和范围，故应选，C. entire。extensive 广大的，广阔的; overall 全面的，总和的; enormous 巨大的，庞大的均不切题。

　　9. 【答案】A. way

　　10. 【答案】C. geography

　　【解析】本题测试词义与逻辑搭配. exercise 3 的9 和10在同一句子中，句意是：还有一种划分地理学研究范围的方法是把地理学分为自然地理学和人文地理学。从句意上看，第9句应选 way。means 手段，工具，方法(=sth. that helps a person to get what he or she wants),例如：You may use every means you can think of. (你可以使用你想到的各种方法) habit (个人的)习惯;technique 技能，技巧。第10句从上下文逻辑意思上看，只能选 C. geography.

　　11. 【答案】D. cultural

　　【解析】本题测试词义搭配.从上题译文可见解题思路。

　　12. 【答案】D. latter

　　【解析】本题测试词义型逻辑搭配.注意句型：the former….., the latter(前者….，后者….)

　　13. 【答案】D. how

　　【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配.

　　本句译文：前者研究自然界，而后者从人类开始，研究人类和其周围环境是如何相互影响的。

　　14. 【答案】A. upon

　　【解析】本题测试结构搭配. act on(= have an effect on) 对…..有影响，对….起作用：This acid acts on metals. (这种酸对金属起作用。)

　　15. 【答案】B. But

　　【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配. 从上下文逻辑来看，此句表示语气转折，故应选 B. But。

　　16. 【答案】A. neither

　　注释：本题测试逻辑搭配.上面谈到地理学包括自然地理和人文地理。本句指出，当把地理学看作一门学科时，那么其中任何一门分科都不能忽视另外一门分科。可见，此题应选 neither.

　　17. 【答案】B. as

　　【解析】本题测试惯用搭配. be described as 被说成是：He was described as a doctor.

　　18. 【答案】C. differences

　　【解析】本题测试词义型逻辑搭配.从逻辑意思上看，这里谈的是地域之间的差别，故应选 C. differences. exception 例外， sameness相同点，division 划分，均与上下文文意相悖。

　　19. 【答案】C. however

　　【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配. however 表示语气转折。

　　20. 【答案】B. then

　　【解析】本题测试逻辑搭配. then 此处意为“这样说来”，如：How, then, do you account for his absence? (这样说来你如何解释他的缺席呢?) still 仍然;nevertheless 然而，不过;moreover 此外，均不符合题意。
