A new federal study shows
5、that adults made little progress in their reading skills between 1992 and 2003. The National Assessment of Adult Literacy is the most important test of how well adult Americans can read. Researchers tested nineteen thousand people over the age of sixteen. The study represents an adult population of
6、two hundred twenty-two million. Those who took part were tested on how well they could read and understand information used in everyday life, The study found that eleven million adults, or five percent, cannot read English. They could not answer even the easiest written questions. Four million of th
7、em most likely cannot speak English either. The study shows that more than forty percent of adults can perform only simple reading activities. For many, even that can be difficult. Fifty-six percent of adults can perform moderate or complex activities. Moderate can mean finding information in a book
8、. Of that number, thirteen percent can perform complex tasks like comparing two different newspaper commentaries (评论). Researchers say part of the problem is that many young Americans do not read as much for pleasure anymore. Also, there are greater numbers of non-English speaking immigrants. Readin
9、g skills can directly affect the ability to earn a living. The best readers were found to earn up to twenty-eight thousand dollars a year more than those who lacked simple reading skills. Yet, compared to the last study in 1992, adults“ reading skills were about the same or lower across every level
10、of education. This was true even among people who have completed college. By race and ethnic group, blacks and Asians had the biggest increases in English reading skills. But levels decreased among Hispanics. Experts, say, however, that while many Hispanics are unable to read in English, they may re
11、ad well in Spanish. Overall, American adults improved the most in answering questions that involved numbers. Even so, the test found that the average adult cannot do much more than perform simple, everyday math.（分数：4.00）(1).When was the article probably written?（分数：0.80）A.Between 1992 and 2003.B.Aft

16、rvy (坏血病), a disease of the blood which causes swollen gums, livid white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion. On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew desperately iii. The men“s lives were saved by Iroquois Indians who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. G
17、radually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors“ diet and Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be warded off by the provision of fresh fruit for the sailors. Nowadays it is understood th
18、at a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious disease if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called “vitamins“. Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associate
19、d with deficiencies of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase significantly our susceptibility(敏感度) to colds and influenza. The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by
20、a good mixed diet, inclu- ding a variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say during extended periods of religious fasting(斋戒), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special provision to supply the missing vitamins.（分数

37、k French, but only _.（分数：1.00）A.littleB.fewC.a little D.a few解析：解析 本题是考查 little，few，a little，a few 的用法。little 表示否定意义，a little 表示肯定意义，都用来修饰不可数名词；few 表示否定意义，a few 表示肯定意义，都用来修饰可数名词。某一语言不可数，而且根据题干的意思应为肯定，故选 C。2._, I would ask him for money.（分数：1.00）A.He were my friendB.Were he my friend C.He is my frien

40、it was not very (practice) 1. （分数：1.00）解析：practical解析 本题考查词性转换。该句中 practical 在句中应该是表语，因该词前有副词very 修饰，应用 practice 的形容词形式。7.He explained that he (have) 1 difficulty in finding a bus that late hour. （分数：1.00）解析：had 解析 时态 宾语从句中的时态要和主句时态一致，主句是一般过去时，从句也应该用过去时形式，因此答案为 had。8.I objected to 1 (have) the meeti
41、ng without him. （分数：1.00）解析：having解析 句子意思是：没有他参加，我反对开会。object to 的意思是“反对”，to 是介词，后接名词、代词或动名词。9.There is a rapid increase in population in that country that has caused food (short) 1. （分数：1.00）解析：shortage 解析 本题考查形容词转化为名词。这是一个定语从句，空格部分在从句中充当谓语动词“cause”的宾语，宾语一般由代词、名词或名词短语组成。在本题中，需要将形容词“short”变为名词“short
42、age”(短缺，缺乏)，构成名词短语“food shortage”，意为“食物短缺”。 表示“短缺”时可以用名词修饰名词的形式，如：“food/fuel/housing shortages(食物，燃料/住房短缺)”。还可以用另外一种形式，如：a shortage of rice/ funds/equipment(大米，资金/设备短缺)。10.Every means (have) 1 been tried but in vain. （分数：1.00）解析：has“means”等同于“way”表示“方式方法”，每种方法都试过了，还是失败了。四、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数
