34、力原文】 When Henry turned twenty-one, he was legally allowed to vote, but in Davidson County in 1941, blacks could not vote. One night, after he had turned twenty-one, Henry put his father and five other people in his fathers Model A Ford and drove to the house of the voting registrar. He said they wer

35、e there to put their names in the voting book. The registrar was prepared for this. He said the literacy regulation required that Henry be able to read the Constitution of the United States. He placed a copy on the table. Henry picked it up and read it. The registrar looked at Henry and realized he

36、had no choice. He entered Henrys name in the book. He was the first black to register in the county. The second was his father, because Henry would not leave until his fathers name, and the names of the five others, were put in the book. That was not enough. The next day Henry brought more people to

37、 the courthouse, where he faced a different clerk who refused to register the people. Henry told him, “I believe you ought to register these folks. Theyre able to read. Not all of your folks coming in here can read.“ For the first time the county government encountered a man who would not budge from

38、 his belief in his rights. Henry got the people registered. 1 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “When Henry turned twenty -one， he was legally allowed to vote， but in Davidson County in l941， blacks could not vote ”，译文为：亨利21岁以后，从法律上他有了选举权。但是 1941年在戴维逊郡，黑人还是不能参与选举。题干表述与原文不符，根据原文不能推断出 1941年在美国黑人没有选举权。 2 【正确答案】 B 【

39、试题解析】 根据原文 “One night， after he had turned twenty-one， Henry put his father and five other people in his fathers Model A Ford and drove to the house of the voting registrar ”，译文为：在他过了 21岁后，一天晚上，亨利驾驶父亲的福特 A型车，载着父亲和其它五个人，开车到了选举登记员的家里。本题关键是理解 the house of the voting registrar，意 思是：选举登记员的家中。题干表述中亨利驾车到了法

40、院，与原文的细节不符。 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文 “The registrar was prepared for this He saidHenry be able to read the Constitution of the United StatesHenry picked it up and read it The registrar looked at Henry and realized he had no choice ”，译文为：登记员对此早有准备，他说 亨利必须能读懂美国的宪法 亨利拿起就读。登记员看着亨利，意识到他已别无选择。据此可以推断书记员本来是决定

41、不把黑人加入选举名单的，但亨利符合条件，所以他没有办法。题干使用的是过去完成时，表示过去的打算，所以是正确的。 4 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文 “He said the literacy regulation required that Henry be able to read the Constitution of the United States ”，译文为：他 (登记员 )说读写能力规则要求亨利能够读懂美国的宪法。此句是虚拟语气，表示应具备的能力，所以题干表述是正确的。 5 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文的多处信息，如 “I believe you ought

42、 to register these folks Theyre able to read Not all of your folks coming in here can read ”，译文为：我认为你应当为这些人注册登记，他们都能够读书。不是所有到这儿来的白人都可以读书。据此可以推断出，只有会读写的人才能取得选举权，题干表述是正确的。 6 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “He was the first black to register in the county ”，译文为：他是这个郡第一个登记注册选举权的黑人。题干表述是亨利是第一个投票的人，原文并没有提到，所以是错误的。

43、7 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文 “The second was his father， because Henry would not leave until his fathers name， and the names of the five others， were put in the book ”，译文为：第二个是他的父亲，因为直到他父亲的名字还有其他五个人的名在被登记在册，他才会离开。据此可以推断出亨利的父亲和同去的五个人都注册了选举权，所以题干表述是正确的。 8 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “Henry brought more people to t

44、he courthouse ， where he faced a different clerk who refused to register the people Henry told him， I believe you ought to register these folks Theyre able to read Not all of your folks coming in here can read ”，译文为：亨利带着更多的人到了法院，这儿的登记员拒绝为这些人注册。亨利告诉他 “我认为你应当为这些人注册登记，他们都能够读书。不是所有到这儿来的白人都可 以读书。 ”根据上下文来

45、推断如果来的人会读写的话，登记员是不能拒绝的，所以题干表述是错误的。 9 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文 “Not all of your folks coming in here can read ”，译文为：不是所有到这儿来的白人都可以读书。奉题关键是理解 folks指的就是白人，和登记员他们一类的人，即歧视黑人的人。据此推断题干表述是正确的。 10 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “Henry got the people registered ”，译文为：亨利使这些人都登记注册了。这些人指的是亨利带去注册的人，而不是整个郡的黑人，题干表述扩大了原文的所指范围，所以是

46、错误的。 SECTION 2 (10 points) Listen to the following short statements and then choose one of the answers that best fits the meaning of each statement. There are 10 questions in this section, 1 points for each question. You will hear the recording only ONCE. 11 【听力原文】 There is nothing I like better to

47、get me started in the morning than a big breakfast. 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “There is nothing I like better to get me started in the morning than a big breakfast ”，关键在于理解特殊比较结构 nothing better than，意思是：没有什么比这更好，用比较级表示最高级的含义。该句译文为：没有什么比早上吃一顿丰盛的早餐，更能让我有良好开端的。所以选 b，他喜欢丰盛的早餐。 a选项为 “他通常不吃早餐就开始工作。 ”， c选项为

48、“他早餐吃的不多。 ”： d选项为 “他早上不喜欢丰盛的早餐，而喜欢别的。 ” 12 【听力原文】 I am speaking to a group of high school students about engineering this afternoon. But I have no idea how I am going to simplify some of the concepts for them. 12 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 根据原文 “I am speaking to a group of high school students about engineerin

49、g this afternoon But I have no idea how I am going to simplify some of the concepts for them ”，译文为：今天下午我要对一群高中生讲解工程学。但是我不知道怎样为他们简化一些概念。据此可以推断文章对于怎样讲演还没有把握，所以选 d“他没有准备好作报告。 ”。 a选项为 “他对于工程学一无所知。 ”， b选项为 “他想推迟作报告。 ”， c选项为 “他以前从未对高中生做过讲演。 ”。 13 【听力原文】 I dont remember the assignment off hand, but Ive got it written down at home.
