It started up in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds of Technology, Entertainment and Design. Since then it has stepped into more and more fields. It includes two annual conferences — the TED Conference on the North American West Coast each spring, and the TED Global Conference in Edinburgh, the UK each summer, which bring together the world’s most excellent thinkers and doers, who are invited to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less. On ted. com, we make the best talks and performances from TED and partners available to the world, for free. More than 3,000 TED talks are now available, with more to be added each week, which cover almost all topics from science to business to global issues in more than 110 languages. They really help share ideas in communities around the world. We believe in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and eventually, the world. So we’re building here a clearinghouse (信息交流中心) that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world’s most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other. Have an idea? We want to hear from you. Today, TED is best thought of as a global community. It’s a community welcoming people from every field and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. Want to follow TED?

D．Most members in the conferences are from the technology field. 2．Which of the following can best describe TED’s task? A．Spreading great ideas. B．Educating young people.

B Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障碍) to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa's government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move. Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year.  Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay. Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret. Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas. 1．The examples in paragraph 1 are used to tell the readers that _______ A．people have been allowed to travel freely within the country B．people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasons C．travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas D．customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countries 2．Some governments limit the freedom of communication because___ A．they intend to keep their national secrets unknown to others B．they think such freedom will lead to wars C．they often disagree with each other on important matters D．they want to show their authority over communication 3．We may learn from the passage that _______ A．people do not care about the removal of barriers between countries B．people can not remove the obstacles made by themselves C．man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones D．barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist 4．Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage? A．Barriers Made by People B．Functions of Communication C．Restrictions on Transportation D．Progress of Human Society 1．A 2．A 3．B 【分析】本文是说明文。介绍了一个致力于传播有价值的思想的非营利性组织TED，它让人们对世界有更深层次的理解，呼吁人们加入这个全球社区。 【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“which bring together the world's most excellent thinkers and doers, who are invited to give the talk of their lives（它把世界上最优秀的思想家和实干家聚集在一起，他们被邀请来谈论他们的生活）”可知，伟大的思想家和实干家会在TED的两场年度会议中发表演讲。故选A。 2.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“TED is a non-profit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading（TED是一个致力于值得传播的想法的非营利性组织。）”可知，TED致力于传播有价值的思想。故选A。 3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“It's a community welcoming people from every field and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world（它是一个欢迎来自每个领域和文化的那些寻求对世界有更深层次了解的人的社区。）”可知，通过TED这个全球社区，人们可以对世界有更深层次的理解，由此可知，作者认为TED是有益的。故选B。 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【分析】本文是说明文。在当今全球化大背景下，人们交流的形式多种多样，不仅有最常见的语言沟通，以及旅游等渐渐成为一个重要的沟通途径，但是在这种情况下，交流障碍与信息沟通壁垒同样存在，本文分析这一方面。 1．主旨大意题。根据原文可以总结出段落大意：Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障碍) to transportation and communication.（然而有时候，人们又在交通和沟通方面上制造出一些障碍）所以目前来讲，沟通并不是完全畅通无阻的。故选B。 2．A细节理解题。根据原文的Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.（一些国家经常试图保护军队或者工业机密信息）所以选择A项。 3． 细节理解题。根据原文的Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily.（在数百年前可能看起来很难打破或者打破后极具危险性的自然障碍却在今天很容易打破）言外之意是人为造成的障碍很难被打破。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。本文主要针对一些国家的保护主义，他们试图不想让外界知道他们所谓的机密信息。这样是不利于全球无障碍交流的，所以选择A项。 七、七选五 Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot. In a bowl of salad, all the ingredients are mixed together. 1 Together, however, the ingredients make up a unity. All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product. They may be covered with the same dressing (调味酱), but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are. From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. People may work together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life. 2 Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity; that is, American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country. 3 Here, society is like one large pot of soup. All cultural aspects are mixed together, sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a new reality. The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve. In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation. There are dozens of shared symbols. 4 In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nation’s official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups. Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both. 5 A．Both are correct depending on one’s point of view. B．They never lose their shapes, colours or tastes. C．This is why there is so much diversity within America. D．In other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity. E．Thus, one needs to abandon one’s culture to be considered “American”. F．They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture. G．The other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．G 4．F 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。有人说美国社会就像一碗沙拉，所有的原料都混合在一起，但各种原料却没有因此失去自己的特色，即我们能看到不同种类的文化组成了现在的美国社会。另一些人则认为它是一个大熔炉，所有的文化都被混合在一起，牺牲了它们原来的身份，保留了一些它们本来的样子，成为一个新的现实。而作者认为，美国最好被描述为两者的混合体。 1．空后句“Together, however, the ingredients make up a unity. (然而，这些成分合在一起构成了一个整体。)”以及本段末句“They may be covered with the same dressing (调味酱), but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are. (它们可能被覆盖着相同的调料，但绿色蔬菜、西红柿和熟玉米都可以看出它们的本质。)”主要论述虽然美国社会就像一碗沙拉，所有的原料都混合在一起，但各种原料却没有因此失去自己的特色，即我们能看到不同种类的文化组成了现在的美国社会。B项“They never lose their shapes, colours or tastes. (它们永远不会失去形状、颜色和味道。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。 2．下文“Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend. (每个民族都有自己特殊的习俗、语言、食物和传统需要保护和捍卫。)”介绍每个民族都有自己要保护和保卫的特殊的文化、语言、食物和传统。由此可推断出，此处解释了美国多元文化存在的原因。C项“This is why there is so much diversity within America. (这就是为什么美国有如此多的多样性。)”符合上下文语境，前后为果因关系。故选C。 3．第一段首句“Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot. (有些人把美国社会描述为一个沙拉碗，而另一些人则认为它是一个大熔炉。)”有两种观点：认为美国社会是沙拉碗或者大熔炉。空后句“Here, society is like one large pot of soup. (在这里，社会就像一大锅汤。)”介绍大熔炉观点。G项“The other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot. (另一个理论，也被用来描述美国社会，是大熔炉。)”照应第二个观点，且与空后句语意一致。故选G。 4．下文“In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nation’s official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups. (在这样的文化中，像国旗和国家的官方歌曲这样的符号可以打破种族之间的隔阂。)”介绍共同拥有的符号有助于消除不同民族之间的隔阂，创造出一种新文化。F项“They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture. (他们促进了各民族的发展，创造了新的美国文化。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。 5．该段是对全文内容的总结。前文“Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both. (无论是一个沙拉碗还是一个大熔炉，美国最好被描述为两者的混合体。)”说明美国是一个具有多样性和统一性的国家。D项“In other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity. (换句话说，美国是一个多元统一的国家。)”符合语境，是对前面一句内容的另一种表述。故选D。 八、完形填空 I was envious of my friends who stayed at school for lunch. They 1 the same things as the characters in my favourite TV shows.

It started up in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds of Technology, Entertainment and Design. Since then it has stepped into more and more fields. It includes two annual conferences — the TED Conference on the North American West Coast each spring, and the TED Global Conference in Edinburgh, the UK each summer, which bring together the world’s most excellent thinkers and doers, who are invited to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less. On ted. com, we make the best talks and performances from TED and partners available to the world, for free. More than 3,000 TED talks are now available, with more to be added each week, which cover almost all topics from science to business to global issues in more than 110 languages. They really help share ideas in communities around the world. We believe in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and eventually, the world. So we’re building here a clearinghouse (信息交流中心) that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world’s most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other. Have an idea? We want to hear from you. Today, TED is best thought of as a global community. It’s a community welcoming people from every field and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. Want to follow TED?

B Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers(障碍) to transportation and communication. In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa's government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they travel within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move. Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travellers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas(签证). Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year.  Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travellers be with an official guide at all times during their stay. Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication. When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret. Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas. 1．The examples in paragraph 1 are used to tell the readers that _______ A．people have been allowed to travel freely within the country B．people have not been permitted to travel freely for various reasons C．travellers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas D．customs posts are necessary at the borders of the countries 2．Some governments limit the freedom of communication because___ A．they intend to keep their national secrets unknown to others B．they think such freedom will lead to wars C．they often disagree with each other on important matters D．they want to show their authority over communication 3．We may learn from the passage that _______ A．people do not care about the removal of barriers between countries B．people can not remove the obstacles made by themselves C．man-made barriers are sometimes harder to overcome than natural ones D．barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist 4．Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage? A．Barriers Made by People B．Functions of Communication C．Restrictions on Transportation D．Progress of Human Society 七、七选五 Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot. In a bowl of salad, all the ingredients are mixed together. 1 Together, however, the ingredients make up a unity. All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product. They may be covered with the same dressing (调味酱), but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are. From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. People may work together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life. 2 Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity; that is, American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country. 3 Here, society is like one large pot of soup. All cultural aspects are mixed together, sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a new reality. The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve. In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation. There are dozens of shared symbols. 4 In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nation’s official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups. Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both. 5 A．Both are correct depending on one’s point of view. B．They never lose their shapes, colours or tastes. C．This is why there is so much diversity within America. D．In other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity. E．Thus, one needs to abandon one’s culture to be considered “American”. F．They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture. G．The other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot. 八、完形填空 I was envious of my friends who stayed at school for lunch.
