everyday life," said Juarez, 18, a freshman ____(17)____ California State University
at Sacramento (CSUS). ____(18)____ , educators are now saying that not all Generation
M-ers can synthesize the piles of information they're accessing. "They're geeky,
but they don't know what to ____(19)____ with their geekdom. " said Barbara O'Connor,
a Sacramento State communications studies professor who has been involved in a
nationwide ____(20)____ to improve students' computer-research skills. In a recent
nationwide test to ____(21)____ their technological "literacy" their ability to use
the Interact to complete class assignments-only 49 percent correctly evaluated a

"We look at that as a foundational skill, in the same way we ____(28)____ math and
English as a foundational skill," said Lorie Roth, assistant vice-chancellor for
academic programmes in the CSU system. Measuring how well students can "sort the

Roth said. CSU is considering ____(30)____ a mandatory assessment test on
technological literacy for all freshmen, much as it has required English and math

二、PARTⅡ : READING COMPREHENSION
The Iceman On a September day in 1991, two Germans were climbing the mountains
between Austria and Italy. High up on a mountain pass, they found the body of a man
lying on the ice. At that height (10,499 feet, or 3,200 meters), the ice is usually
permanent, but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had melted
more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward. The skeleton ( 骨架) was in perfect condition, except
for a wound in the head. There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some
clothes. The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet
there were very simple leather and cloth boots.
Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark ( 树皮) and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man?
How and when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these questions.
Some people thought that it was from this century, perhaps the body of a soldier
who died in World War I, since several soldiers had already been found in the area.
A Swiss woman believed it might be her father, who had died in those mountains twenty
years before and whose body had never been found. The scientists who rushed to look
at the body thought it was probably much older, maybe even a thousand years old.
With modern dating techniques, the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about
5, 300 years old. Born in about 3300 B. C. , he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.
At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident
in the high mountains. More recent evidence, however, tells a different story. A
new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a
tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage and bleeding.
He almost certainly died from this wound, and not from the wound on the back of
his head. This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle. It may have been
part of a larger war, or he may have been fighting bandits. He may even have been
a bandit himself. By studying his clothes and tools, scientists have already learned
a great deal from the Iceman about the times he lived in. we may never know the full
story of how he died, but he has give us important clues to the history of those
distant times.
(1).The body of the Iceman was found in the mountains mainly because ______.
A.he was lying on the ice
B.he was just on a mountain pass
C.two Germans were climbing the mountains
D.the melted ice made him visible √
【解析】本题是细节考查题。冰人尸体被发现的原因在文章的第一段提到“ The mountain ice
had melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface. ”,是融化的
冰将他暴露了出来,因此D正确。
(2).What can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A.The Iceman lived a poor life.
B.The Iceman was struck dead from behind.
C.The Iceman was killed while working.
D.The Iceman could have died from the wound in the head. √
【解析】原题是从第二段可以作出什么样的推断?本段开头提到“ It wa s lying face
downward. The skeleton ( 骨架) was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the
head. ”( 他面朝下,除了头部有伤外,骨架状况很好) ,就此推断,冰人可能死于头部伤
口,因此答案是D。
(3).All the following are assumptions once made about the Ice man EXCEPT ______.
A.he was a soldier in World War I
B.he was a Swiss woman's long-lost father
C.he came from Italy √
D.he was born about a thousand years ago
【解析】细节考查题。原题是下列哪项不是人们对冰人的猜测。原文在第三段。选项A“他
是一战时期的士兵”、选项B“他是一位瑞士妇女失踪多年的父亲”和选项D“他大约在一千
年前出生”在文中可以找到,而选项C“他来自意大利”在文章中没有出现。采用排除法得
出答案C。
(4).The scientists made the deduction that the Iceman ______.
A.had got a wound on the back of his head
B.had a tiny hole in his skin causing his death
C.was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead
D.was probably in some kind of a battle √
【解析】本题是细节考查题。原题是科学家对冰人的推论是什么。原文在第四段。选项A“头
后部有伤口”是事实而非推论; 选项B“皮肤上的小孔导致他的死亡”不符合事实; 选项C
“他的肩膀被箭头刺伤”是事实而非推论;选项D“有可能参与过战斗”是推论。因此选D。
(5).The word "bandits" in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by ______.
A.soldiers
B.hunters
C.robbers √
D.shooters
【解析】本题是词汇考察题。原题是第四段中“ bandits ”是什么意思?选项A“战士”;
选项B“猎
人”;选项C“强盗”;选项D“射击手”。bandits 的意思为“强盗”,因此选C。
Food for Learning In Eritrea, a small country in northeast Africa, approximately
80 percent of the population is illiterate. That percentage is even higher in woman.
As in many developing countries, many Eritreans have traditional ideas about the
role of women. They believe that women should stay home and take care of the family
and should not get an education or look for a job.
These beliefs are one of the factors that prevent Eritriea and other developing
countries from improving their economic situation. Experience in many developing
countries has shown that educated women have fewer children and have more
opportunities for improving their lives and the lives of their families. In Eritrea,
in fact, there is great need for improvement. It is one of the poorest countries
in the world. For many Eritrean families, getting enough food is a daily problem.
To deal with these problems, the Eritrean government together with the World Food
Program, has a new program that offers food as a reward for learning. In primary
schools, all the children receive food packages to take home to their families.
However, with the new program, the girls receive more food than the boys. This way,
parents are encouraged to send their daughter to school rather than keeping them
at home. Another government program that aims to educate women is Food
for Training. Managed by the National Union of Eritrean Women, this program offer
food rewards (also from World Food Organization) to women and elder girls who are
willing to join the program.
Because of the war with Ethiopia, many women are bringing up their families on
their own. They often live in refugee camps, with no land of their own and no way
to earn money. Most of these women are illiterate and have no skills to find a job.
They spend most of their day looking for food and preparing it for their families.
The Food for Training program helps the tennagers and women change their lives. If
they agree to join the program, they receive a large package of food each month.
In return, the women are required to attend free literate classes for two hours every
day. When Food for Training classes in two regions of Eritrea, 5000 girls and women
joined in the first two months. It is especially popular with teenage girls, aged
fourteen to sixteen, who have never had a chance to go to school before. The
organizers of Food for Traing also plans to offer other kinds of courses for women,
