第一篇
Washoe Learned American Sign Language
(1)An animal that influenced scientific thought has died. A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington. Washoe had become known in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language. She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language. Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.
(2)Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966.
In 1969, the Gardners described Washoes progress in a scientific report. The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words. For example,Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas. She also asked questions like, "Who is coming to play?" Once the news about Washoe spread, many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research. The whole direction of primate research changed.
(3) However, critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers. They said she had never developed true language skills. Even now there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory, and perform the signs only for prizes. Yet Washoes keepers disagree. Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardners.
He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg, Washington. There, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees, which are still alive.
(4) Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoe provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today, there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps. Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.
(5)Debate continues about chimps understanding of human communication. Yet, one thing is sure-- Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence.

Hurricanes (龍卷風)
(1)Did you know that before 1950, hurricanes had no names? They were simply given numbers. The first names were simply Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. But in 1953, females names were given because of the unpredictability (不可預知) factor of the storms. In 1979, realizing the sexist (性別歧視的) nature of such names, the lists were expanded to include both men and women.
(2)Hurricanes and typhoons ( 臺風) are the same things. If they form in the Atlantic, we call these strong storms hurricanes, from the West Indian word hurricane, meaning "big wind." And if they are Pacific storms, they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun, meaning "great wind." To be classified as a hurricane, the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph. These storms are big, many hundreds of miles in diameter.
(3)Hurricanes get their power from water vapor as it gives out its stored-up energy. All water vapor gives out heat as it condenses (凝結(jié)) from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator (赤道) . To make a hurricane, you must have extremely wet, warm air,the kind of air that can only be found in tropical region.
(4)Scientists have determined that the beat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hour. In just one day alone, the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations need in an entire year! The problem is that we dont know how to make sure such great energy work for us.
(5)Predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecasters. It moves at a typical speed of 15 mph. But not always. Some storms may race at twice this speed, then suddenly stop and remain in the same location for several days. It can be maddening (發(fā)瘋的)if you live in a coastal area that may be hit.
(6) The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellites. With these,we can see the storms form and track them fully, from birth to death. While they can still kill people and destroy property, hurricanes will never surprise any nation again.
23——26概括大意

第三篇
Intelligent Machines
(1) Medical scientists are already putting computer chips (芯片) directly into the brain to help people who have Parkinsons disease, but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us? Ray Kurzweil is author of the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines and is one of the worlds best computer research scientists. He is researching the possibilities.
(2) Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices. An example of this is Ramona, the virtual (虛擬的) hostess of Kurzweils homepage, who is programmed to understand what you say. Visitors to the site can have their conversations with her, and Ramona also dances and sings.
(3) Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities. One of his ideas is a "seeing machine". This will be "like a friend that could describe what is going on in the visible world," he explains. Blind people will use a visual sensor (探測器) which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This sensor will describe to the person everything it sees.
(4) Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the "listening machine". This invention will recognize millions of words and understand any speaker. The listening machine will also be able to translate into other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it.
(5) But it is not just about helping people with disabilities. Looking further into the future,Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness onto a computer. This technology probably wont be ready for at least 50 years, but when it arrives, it means our mind will be able to live forever.

答案與解析
第一篇
23.C。第一段主要介紹黑猩猩Washoe的出生地、死亡年齡、被帶到美國學習美式手語等情況。用General Information about Washoe來概括是很準確的。
24.B。第二段的關鍵句是：“In l969，the Gardners described Washoe’s progress in a scientific report.”隨后的句子簡略介紹了Washoe的學習情況和結(jié)果，如已學會250個單詞，并能用手語表達“該吃飯了”等概念。所以選項B是答案。
25.E。第三段介紹了對Gardener夫婦發(fā)表的報告的兩種不同的解讀。一派認為Washoe的手語能力只是機械重復、死記硬背、物質(zhì)激勵的結(jié)果，不是智能的表現(xiàn)。另一派認為這是智能的表現(xiàn)，其證據(jù)是Washoe還能教三個小猩猩學習手語。爭論的焦點是黑猩猩有沒有智能。選項E用debate來概括上述爭論，很恰當。
26.A。第四段解釋了為什么現(xiàn)在從事這項研究的科學家人數(shù)不多，部分原因是由于研究周期太長，所以答案為A。
27.C。題干：Washoe能通過手勢來交流。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到第二段第四句，由該句可知答案為C。
28.A。題干：有些科學家懷疑。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到第三段的上半段說了一些科學家對Gardener夫婦的實驗的解讀所持懷疑態(tài)度。題干中出現(xiàn)的doubted引導我們選A。
29.D。題干：Washoe教三只年幼的黑猩猩手語。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到第三段的最后兩句，即“He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensbur9，Washington.There，Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees，which are still alive.”所以答案為D。
30.E。題干：實驗認為Washoe是有邏輯思維能力的。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到第二段第四句：“She could request foods like apples and bananas.”根據(jù)全段意思和上述句子，選擇E是正確的。
第二篇
23.A。該段中names反復出現(xiàn)，所以names是文章中的核心詞，借助段首句和段末句的句意判斷，答案應為A。
24.F。除了選項F以外，其余選項中的核心詞，如：hamess，forecast，store，satellite等，在文章中均沒有出現(xiàn)。
25.D。該段落中“能量”一詞頻繁出現(xiàn)，所以該詞是該段的中心詞，故可以判斷答案為B和D的可能性很大。再借助段首句和段末句的句意判斷，答案應為D。
26.C。段首句中就出現(xiàn)了“預測”(predicting)和“困難”(difficult)，所以被選項中C和E可能是答案選項，而E中的“衛(wèi)星”在該段落中根本沒有出現(xiàn)，所以C是答案。
27.C。題干：颶風有著男性和女性的名字是考慮到__________。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到第一段的最后一句“In l979，realizing the sexist(性別歧視的)nature ofsuch names，the lists were expanded to include both men and women.”故判斷答案為C(性別平等)。
28.A。題干：使用天氣衛(wèi)星能保證颶風的__________。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到第六段第二句：“With these.we can see the storms form and track them fully,from birth to death.”所以答案為A。
29.E。題干：能源專家可能對颶風的__________感興趣。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到第四段最后兩句，由該處提到颶風中包含的能量，可知答案為E。
30.F。題干：科學家們不能準確預測颶風的行程是因為__________。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到第5段“Predicting the path ofa hurricane is one ofthe most difficult tasks for forecasters.It moves at a typical speed of 15 mph.But not always.”可知答案為F。
第三篇
23.B。文章第二段所舉的例子說“她被設置為可以理解你所說的話。網(wǎng)站的訪問者可以和她談話，Ramona也跳舞唱歌”。因此B項“計算機能夠交流”概括了本段大意。
24.F。文章第三段主要闡述的是視覺機器，如“這機器像一個朋友一樣，能夠描述在有形世界里正在發(fā)生的事情……該傳感器將向佩戴者描述它看到的一切”。因此F項“一雙新眼睛”概括了本段大意。
25.A。文章第四段主要闡述的是聽覺機器，因此A項“一雙新耳朵”概括了本段大意。
26.C。文章第五段主要談到“我們將能把所有意識下載到電腦里……就意味著我們的頭腦能夠永遠活下去”。因此C項“計算機上永恒的意識”概括了本段大意。
27.E。題干：Ray Kurzweil研究計算機幫助人們__________。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到文章第三段和第四段提到的“Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities”和“Another idea,which is likely to help deafpeople”。因此E項“有殘疾的人”符合文章內(nèi)容。
28.A。題干：Ramona能夠理解__________。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到文章第二段提到的“who is programmed to understand what you say”。故A項“你所說的話”符合文章內(nèi)容。
29.C。題干：盲人能夠通過__________看到世界。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到文章第三段提到的“Blind people will use a visual sensor which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses”，可知C項“一副墨鏡”符合文章內(nèi)容。
30.C。題干：沒有聽力問題的人也有興趣使用__________。利用題干關鍵詞可以定位到文章第四段提到的“The listening machine will also be able to translate into other languages.so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it…”，故C項“聽覺機器”符合文章內(nèi)容。
拓展：職稱英語綜合類B級重點詞匯
在特定的語境下英語單詞可以單獨成句，英語句子可以是一個名詞，或一個動詞(動詞短語)，或者一個形容詞，或者一個副詞(副詞短語)， 或者一個數(shù)詞，或者一個代詞， 如：
--Coffee. (比較：boy〔表示驚奇(真的?)等)
--Shut up!(閉嘴!)
--Wonderful!(棒極了!)
--Over there.(在那邊)
--Two， please.(請給我拿兩個)
--Those? (那些嗎?)
但是，英語介詞和英語冠詞是絕對不能獨立成句的， 這是因為英語的介詞和冠詞都是依附性的詞匯，它們的出現(xiàn)和具有的詞義由其所在的搭配結(jié)構中的其他詞類決定的。
(考研， 1990)
Michael found it difficult to get his British jokes ___ to American audiences.
A. around B. over C. across D. down
C. 分析： 這道題中， 因為介詞后面沒有出現(xiàn)名詞性的結(jié)構，而是作狀語的介詞短語結(jié)構，因此空格處的詞不是介詞，而應該是副詞。
around
e.g. look around 環(huán)視，四顧(adv. 周圍，四面)
e.g. sit around a table 圍著桌子坐 (perp. 在周圍，圍著)
over
e.g. She put her hands over her face. 她用手蒙住臉。(prep. 在…的上面， 越過…)
e.g. Take this over to the station. 把這個拿到車站那邊去。(adv.在那邊，向那邊)
across
e.g. come across in a ship 乘船渡過河 (adv.越過，橫過)
e.g. walk across the street 穿過街道(prep. 橫過，越過;(走)過)
down
e.g. The wind went down. 風逐漸停了(adv. 向下(面)， 降)
e.g. run down the stairs 跑下樓梯(prep. 自…向下)
現(xiàn)在讓我們根據(jù)所了解的這四個介詞的基本詞義來判斷哪個選項是答案，
Mike found it difficult to get his British jokes ? to American audiences.
邁克 發(fā)現(xiàn) 形式賓語 困難的 他的英國的笑話 介詞 美國聽眾
借助空格前后結(jié)構的大致內(nèi)容“英國笑話”和“美國觀眾”，我們猜想英國的笑話肯定要(跨越千山萬水)才能傳到美國，被美國聽眾理解， 因此空格處最可能出現(xiàn)的是介詞across。
get across to:使...理解...
這個句子的含義是“邁克發(fā)現(xiàn)能難讓美國的觀眾理解他講的英國笑話” 。
句中的it是形式上的賓語， 句子真正的賓語是“to get his British jokes across to American audiences” 。
小結(jié)：
1. 介詞一定出現(xiàn)在名詞性結(jié)構或代詞的前面， 或介詞必須帶名詞性的結(jié)構或代詞作其賓語，否則， 這個介詞就可能是副詞。如：
e.g. She put her hands over her face. 她用手蒙住臉。(prep. 在…的上面)
e.g. Take this over to the station. 把這個拿到車站那邊去。(adv.在那邊)
2. 介詞總是和其他詞類搭配使用：一些介詞和不及物動詞形成動詞短語， 如：sit around a table圍著桌子坐; 一些介詞短語和名詞搭配形成名詞性的短語結(jié)構，如：his interest in music 他對英語的興趣;一些介詞和形容詞形成固定搭配結(jié)構， 如：(be)good at English擅長英語
