situation realize they have。 It’s the time for you to explore changing the offer to suit your goals and fully interview the company。”    
    'E' “The guy’s jaw was on the floor;” Corcodilos says。 “He told Zagorski that finishing the interview wouldn’t be necessary。 Instead; the VP brought in the rest of his team; and the meeting lasted for two hours。”    
    'F' “A resume leaves it up to employers to figure out how you can help their organization;” Corcodilos says。 “That’s no way to sell yourself。”    
    Sample Four    
    Directions:You are going to read a list of headings and a text about Backlogs of History。 Choose the most suitable heading from the list A…F for each numbered paragraph (41…45)。 The first and last paragraphs of the text are not numbered。 There is one extra heading which you do not need to use。 Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1。 (10 points)    
    'A' Passion for personal and familial archival collection。    
    'B' Reception of a hospital delivery bill。    
    'C' Overabundance of trivial personal documents。    
    'D' Explosion of public documents。    
    'E' It is imperative to put archival policies into perspective。    
    'F' What tactics should be adopted in document…saving?    
    One morning a few years ago an envelope arrived from my parents containing the bill from New Rochelle Hospital for my delivery; in 1952。 The contents of a basement or attic were being culled; and the bill had turned up in one of the many cardboard reliquaries that have long lent a kind of ballast to my childhood home。 The hospital’s total charge for a five…day stay including drugs and phone calls; came to 187。86。 I was amazed at the cost; to be sure。 But I was also struck by something else: that among all those decades’ worth of family documents my parents had looked through; the delivery bill was the only thing they thought of sufficient interest to pass along。    
    41     
    At some point most of us realize that having a personal archival strategy is an inescapable aspect of modern life: one has to draw the line somewhere。 What should the policy be toward children’s drawings and report cards? Toward personal letters and magazine clippings? People work out answers to such questions; usually erring; I suspect; on the side of overaccrual of rubbish documents。 Almost everyone seems to save — or “curate;” as archaeologist says — issues of National Geographic。 That is why in garbage landfills copies of that magazine are rarely found in isolation; rather; they are found in herds; when an entire collection has been discarded after an owner has died or moved。    
    42     
    I happen to be an admirer of the archiving impulse and an inveterate archivist at the household level。 Though not quite one of those people whom public…health authorities seem to run across every few years; with a house in which neatly bundled stacks of newspaper occupy all but narrow aisles; I do tend to save almost everything that is personal and familial; and even to supplement this private hoard with oddities of a more public nature — a calling card of Thomas Nast’s; for instance; and Kim Philby copy of the Joy of Cooking。    
    43     
    I cannot help wondering; though; whether as a nation we are compiling archives at a rate that will exceed anyone’s ability ever to make sense of them。 A number of observers have cited the problem of “information overload” as if it were a recent development; largely the consequence of computers。 In truth; the archive backlog has been a problem for millennia。 Historians obviously have problems when information is scarce; but it’s not hard to see a very different problem emerging as source material becomes spectacularly overabundant。    
    44     
    Leave aside the task of assessing an entire epoch and consider what is required in purely physical terms to preserve even a single prominent person’s lifetime documentary output。 Benjamin Disraeli’s correspondence survived down to the level of what today would be an Email message: “My darling; I shall be home for dinner at 1/2 pt 7。 In haste; Your; Dis。” Woodrow Wilson left so much behind that the historian Arthur S。 Link spent his entire career at Princeton University annotating and publishing Wilson’s personal papers; in sixtynine volumes。    
    45     
    Is it preposterous to begin thinking of some of our archives as the new tels? Tels are the mounds that layer upon layer of former cities make; they are everywhere in the Middle East; harboring the archaeological record of thousands of years of human history。 But there are too many of them for more than a few ever to be excavated systematically and understanding what’s in even those few takes decades if not centuries。    
    Don’t get me wrong: I am not proposing that we discard any thing at all。 One rarely knows in advance what will turn out to be of interest or importance and what should have gone directly into the oubliette。 It is always delightful when something is discovered。 But information does have its natural predators; and it may be that sometimes natural processes work out for the best。    
    


模拟考场十套模拟考场(一)  答案解析及参考译文

    Section ⅠUse of English    
    篇章导读    
    本题属于时间叙事的文章。文章主题(Thesis Statement)是:“the fitness movement 健康运动”,作者从“aerobic exercise有氧运动,fitness spas健康温泉, weighttraining programs减肥训练程序,physicalfitness tests健康体能测试”等方面展开。解读时注意作者所持有的客观态度。       
    思路解析    
    1 【答案】'B'    
    【解析】“engage in 热忠于;沉迷于”。根据文章的一致性,上文提到的“centered around 围绕着”,即:“20世纪60年代末70年代初健康运动是围绕着有氧运动开始的”,所以“数百万的人就热忠于各种各样的有氧运动”,“engaged”与“centered around”形成一致。而选项'A'“impose in 把……强加给”,'C'“confine to/within 局限于”, 'D'“举例说明”均不符合题意。    
    2 【答案】'D'    
    【解析】“事实上;实际上”。根据原文意思:“……而实际上,上千的保健温泉发展起来了,……”所以选择“literally”。而选项'A'“丰富地;富足地;富裕地”,'B'“合适地;合格地;理想地”,'C'“华丽地;壮丽地;美妙地”均不符合原文意思。    
    3 【答案】'C'    
    【解析】“发展”。“developed”指事物在一段时期内“成长、发育、发展”,朝成熟、扩大、提高的方向前进,可以是自然界中的生长发育过程,也可以是人类社会中的发展、进步过程体现的发展速度很快,并暗示有某个固定目标存在。本文是按时间顺序叙事的,“develop”有“在一段时期内发展”的意思,所以选择“develop”。而选项'A'“提高,增强”,'B'“表明,证明,显示”,'D'establish是正式用词,常表示永久地“建立”起来,强调稳固而持久,涉及对象可以是具体和抽象事物(比如政府、医院、学校、形象、名望等),均不符合题意。    
    4 【答案】'A'    
    【解析】“出现的”。根据文章一致性原则,“emerging”与第一句中提到的“the fitness movement that began in。。。”中的“began”形成呼应。而选项'B'“翱翔的;盘旋的;徘徊的;犹豫的”,'C'“阴谋的,密谋的,谋划的”,'D'“混合的;相混的;相交往的,相往来的”均不符合题意。    
    5 【答案】'A'    
    【解析】“prior to在……之前”。本题考查词组搭配。“prior”用于表示时间,而选项'B'“entitle to给……权利,给……资格”,'C'“liable for有责任的,有义务的;liable to + inf。 有……倾向的,易于……的”,'D'“be subjected to 受……约束的;从属于(=be subordinate to)”均不符合题意。    
    6 【答案】'B'    
    【解析】“focus on聚集;集中”。根据文章一致性原则,“focus”与原文第一句中的“centered around”形成一致。而选项'A'“action on 作用”,'C'“in cement 坚定不移的,不妥协的”,'D'“snap out of 迅速从……中恢复过来;snap up 抢购;抢先弄到手”均不符合题意。    
    7 【答案】'D'    
    【解析】“but rather(表示转折)(不是)……而是”。根据上下文逻辑,上句“focus was not on。。。”,下句接着转折说明“but rather on。。。”。而选项'A'“或是”,'B'“否则;要不然”,'C'“和;而且”是本题的干扰,不符合题意。    
    8 【答案】'A'    
    【解析】“力气;力量”。根据文章主题“fitness movement”,“strength”只是健康运动的其中一项,是“fitness movement”的下义词,而且与下文的“muscular strength”形成一致。而选项'B'“营养;食物”,'C'“容忍;宽容”,'D'“野心;抱负”是本题的干扰,不符合题意。    
    9 【答案】'B'    
    【解析】“狂热者;热爱者”。根据文章一致性原则,“enthusiast”与上文的“interest in fitness”形成一致性。而选项'A'“开业者;从事者”,'C'“裁判员”,'D'“接受者;领受者”不与“interest in fitness”形成呼应,不符合题意。    
    10【答案】'A'    
    【解析】“经济上;财政上”。根据文章一致性原则,“benefit financially”与“capitalize变成资本;做资本用”形成呼应。而选项'B'“特别地;尤其”,'C'“正当地;合理地;合法地”,'D'“过多地;过激地”均不形成呼应,不符合题意。    
    11【答案】'B'    
    【解析】“提供;供给”。根据原文意思:“……直到从医学的观点看,减肥训练项目不能或者只能给(培训者)带来一点健康。”而且根据文章一致性原则,“offer”与下文的“might also offer”形成一致性,所以选择“offer”。而选项'A'“赠送;授予;呈献;向……提出”'C'“显示;指示;象征,预示”,'D'“证明”均不符合题意。    
    12【答案】'D'    
    【解析】“any”。原文是if引导的条件句,“any”用于条件句中,表示“一点,若干,一些”,与原文意思一致。而选项'A''B''C'是本题的干扰,不符合题意。    
    13【答案】'A'    
    【解析】“流行”。根据文章主题一致性原则,“popular”与“the fitness movement that began in 。。。”构成重复,上文讲到“健康运动以有氧�
