Hillary RodhamHillary Rodham Clinton released the first television spot of her Senate campaign this morning， a 30-second commercial that will begin airing statewide on Thursday. The spot， titled “First，” uses numerous still photos to highlight landmarks in Mrs. Clinton‘s career， while the voiceover says she is “more than a fist lady.”

There is no mention of Mrs. Clinton‘s rival for New York’s Senate seat， New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

Clinton campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said the ad was “positive” and “biographical，” instead of focusing on the first lady‘s opponent.

Mrs. Clinton has previously aired radio ads， but has generally stayed with a strategy of making extensive campaign appearances instead of using television spots， while Giuliani has already run statewide TV ads.

Text of Hillary Commercial：

First she became a lawyer， named one of the top hundred in America.

Her first cause was children， fighting abuse and chairing the board of the Children‘s Defense Fund.

Her first priority was public schools， helping to establish teacher testing.

More than a first lady. For 30 years， she‘s fought for children and families.

As New York‘s senator， she’ll fight for better schools and heath care for children.

Hillary， Put her to work for all of us.

Clinton released the first television spot of her Senate campaign this morning， a 30-second commercial that will begin airing statewide on Thursday. The spot， titled “First，” uses numerous still photos to highlight landmarks in Mrs. Clinton‘s career， while the voiceover says she is “more than a fist lady.”

11. What does the word “air” in the first sentence mean?

A. dry

B. express

C. breathe

D. broadcast

答案：D

解析：本题提问的是第1段中的“air”是什么意思。由这句话我们可以得知，希拉里今天早晨发表了她竞选纽约州议员的电视宣传;为时30分钟的电视宣传将于星期二开始进行全国播放。由该句的意思我们可以猜出“air”的意思为“播放”。所以，答案为D.而其他三个词A(晒干)，B(表达)和C(呼吸)均与原义不符，故不能入选。

12. What does “more than first lady” in the first paragraph suggest?

A. Hillary is not a first lady.

B. Hillary does much more than what a first lady is expected to do.

C. There are more women in America who does better than Hillary does.

D. Hillary is doing better than her husband.

答案：B

解析：本题提问的是第1段里“more than first lady”是什么意思。在世界各地，第1夫人作为国家元首的妻子，是一国之母，她的形象一般是一个帮助总统处理好家务，并且进行一些妇女活动和慈善事业，借此来提高元首的形象。但是，希拉里作为第1夫人，她所做的超出了第1夫人的职责。她不但在社会活动中经常露脸，而且直接参与政事，开始竞选起议员来了。所以，选项B应该是该题的答案。

13.Which of the following statement is true regarding the Senator campaign according the passage?

A. Hillary has appeared on TV shot for mumerous times.

B. Hillary rarely makes her public appearance.

C. Giuliani has made TV advertisement for himself.

D. Hillary has a bigger chance to win the campaign.

答案：C

解析：本题提问的是对此次参议院竞选，以下哪一个说法是正确的。文章的第四段告诉我们，希拉里以前曾经在广播上作过宣传，但是她一直采取的战略是频频在公众场合出现，而不是使用电视宣传;与她不同的是，Giuliani已作过全国电视宣传。由该段可知，选项C为正确答案。从文章的第1句话我们可以得知，这是希拉里第1次在电视上为自己作宣传，所以，选项A和B不符合原文;此次议员竞选，花落谁手尚未分晓，所以，选项D也不能入选。

14. Hillary‘s campaign focuses on all the flooowing except_____.

A. children‘s health care

B. school education for children

C. combating child abuse

D. family planning policy

答案：D

解析：本题提问的是以下哪一下不是希拉里的竞选重点。希拉里的竞选广告在文章的最后几段里;它的重点是学校教育;作者评论道，在过去的30年里，希拉里一直都在为儿童和家庭的幸福斗争。将来当了纽约的参议员，她会为孩子们的良好教育和健康保险而努力;由此我们得知，选项A(儿童健康保险)B(儿童的学校教育)和C(打击虐待儿童现象)都是她的竞选重点，只有选项D(计划生育政策)与原文不合，所以，D为本题答案。

15.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

A. First Lady‘s Senator Campaign

B. Hillary‘s TV Advertisement

C. A Rivalry for New York‘s Senate Seat

D. The Focuses of Hillary Campaign

答案：A

解析：本文从第1夫人希拉里-克林顿为其入选纽约参议员拉开序幕讲起，对目前的竞选状况作了一个大概介绍，并且对希拉里的竞选内容作了一个介绍，同时，作者表达了他自己的观点;整篇文章以介绍她的竞选情况为主，所以，选项A(第1夫人竞选参议员)用以概括全文最为全面，因此，为正确答案。

One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the“cashless society”is not on the horizon—it's already here.

While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.

Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.

16.According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to _____.

A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes

B. obtain more convenient services than other people do

C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper

D. cash money wherever he wishes to

答案：B。

短文第1段是关于信用卡(credit card)的。B项的根据是第1段中的They (credit cards) give their owners automatic credit in stores…和...can be read automatically.既然信用卡能在商店、餐馆、旅店、家里、全国各地、甚至国外等各种场合自动给予“信用”，那么信用卡持有人当然会比其他得到更为方便的服务。A)是陪衬项，明显不对;C)项解释错误;根据withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations判断D)项错。

17.From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that _____.

A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards

B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today

C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash

D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before

答案：选C。

本题是语义理解题。第1段最后一句意思是“对我们大多数人来说，‘无现金的社会’不是在地平线上(即不是刚刚出现的新事物)，在这儿已经实现了”。句中many of us指我们许多美国人，it's already here中的it指cashless society，即“不用现金支付”。显然C)项是这句话的含义。最后一句话只谈到cashless society的已经存在，既推不出A)，也推不出B)。

18.The phrase“ring up sales”(Line 2, Para. 2) most probably means _____.

A. make an order of goods

B. record sales on a cash register

C. call the sales manager

D. keep track of the goods in stock

答案：选B。

本题考查考生根据上下文推测词义的能力。短语所在的句子是比较级句型，根据“比较对象一致”的原则可知，ring up sales与“电子现金出纳机”electronic cash register属于同类东西。又根据下文They can keep a wide range of records，including…，可知electronic cash register能记许多东西，提供各种销售信息，从这两方面可猜测B项是ring up sales的意思，即现金收录记录机，一种功能单一的现金出纳机。A)项解释毫无根据，C)项离得太远，D)项是electronic cash register的功能之一。故B)为最佳答案。

19.The second paragraph focuses upon the purpose of ____.

A. giving some specific examples of how businessmen rely on computers

B. convincing us how useful computers are to sellers

C. conveying computers are derived from promotion campaign

D. supporting the idea that we rely on computers completely

答案：选B。

题干问“第二段的主要用途是什么”?A)项为了提供一些商人怎样依赖于电脑的确切例子;B)项为了使我们相信计算机对商人有多么重要;C)项表明计算机起源于推销运动;D)项为了证明我们完全依赖于电脑。纵观全文可知，通篇第二段在讲计算机对商人的种种用途，因此，答案为B)。

20.What is this passage mainly about?

A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.

B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.

C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.

D. Advantages of credit cards in business.

答案：选B。

本题为中心思想测试题。第1段介绍了计算机使credit card持有人存款、存、支付等极其方便;第二段讲计算机给销售商带来许多便利，第三段讲了计算机运用的广泛性，而且都是商业方面的运用，由此可知，本文主题思想应为B)(计算机在商业中所带来的好处)。A)项计算机的商用方法;C)项商业自动化的重要性;D)项商业中信用卡的优点。A)、C)、D)均不是本短文的主题思想。

二、词汇和语法(21-30)

21.Mrs. Smith was so _____ about everything that no servants could please her.

A.specific

B.special

C.precise

D.particular

答案：D

解析：Be particular about sth.表示“对……挑剔，吹毛求疵”。

22.He never arrives on time and my _____ is that he feels the meetings are useless.

A.preference

B.conference

C.inference

D.reference

答案：C

解析：本题的四个选项都有"ence"的后缀把一个动词变为名词，所以我们只要背了它们的动词词根的意思，这四个词的意思就容易找出来了。Preference表示“喜欢，喜好”;conference的意思是“会议，大会”;reference表示“参考，指出”;而inference表示“推断，推论”，符合题义。

23.The little girl was so frightened that she just wouldn't _____ her grip on my arm.

A.loosen

B.remove

C.relieve

D.dismiss

答案：A

解析：本题有两个选项容易混淆：A)loosen和C)relieve.Relieve的意思是“减缓导致……的减轻或缓和;免于痛苦，脱离痛苦，焦虑或者苦恼;救济，为……提供帮助或援助”，不能和grip搭配;而loosen one's grip表示“放开手”。

24.The ship's generator broke down, and the pumps had to be operated _____ instead of mechanically.

A.artificially

B.automatically

C.manually

D.synthetically

答案：C

解析：这也更加要求我们要“温故而知新”。因为instead of后面是mechanically(机械地)，所以我们只要找到它的反义词就行了，答案C)manually手动符合题义。

25.This is what you should bear in mind: Don't _____ a salary increase before you actually get it.

A.hang on

B.draw on

C.wait on

D.count on

答案：D

解析：本题考察四个带有on的动词词组。Hang on意思较多，有“纠缠，紧紧握住某物;坚持不放弃;坚持不懈;打电话时不挂断;稍待等待一会儿时间”;draw on穿上， 戴上(靴子， 手套等);吸收， 利用; 凭， 靠;动用;向……支取;逗引(某人)开口说话;招来， 招致;接近，靠近;wait on满足……的需要;服侍;count on表示“依赖，依靠”，符合上下文。
