The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects. They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry, and they a
34、pplied their knowledge to the construction of fine bridges, roads, and public buildings.They knew about the smelting of iron ore, but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.While the Romans accomplished practical wonders, they d
35、id very little theoretical scientific thinking. Because of their frequent wars, many of their inventions were no more than improvements in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar.There are two reasons for the Roman neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were appare
36、ntly too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste much time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped by the rigidity of their numerical system. (Try to multiply XI by LVII or to divide CXLIII by IX; it simply cannot be done with pencil and p
37、aper.) The Romans did all of their arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modem computing machine. Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics.8. The author calls the Romans “practical" because they_.A. they didn't care about philosophyB. they just learned
38、 from Greek geometryC. they applied what they learned to constructionD. they thought little of theoretical scientific thinking9.

41、 roads, and public buildings.(他们是希腊几何和三角学的杰出学生，他们把所学的知识用到桥梁、公路和公共建筑上)可推测，作者认为古罗马人实际，是因为他们把所学知识运用到了实际生活中建筑。C. they applied what they learned to construction(他们把所学知识运用到建筑中)符合以上推测。故选C项。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段的The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects.(罗马人是古代最好的工程师和建筑师)可知，故罗马人擅长工程和建筑。
42、B. engineering and architecture.(工程和建筑)符合以上说法。故选B项。【10题详解】词意猜题题。根据划线部分所在句子The Romans did all of their arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modem computing machine.可知，罗马人用算盘做算数，古代的算盘counterpart现代的计算机。算盘和计算机都是用来计算的，由此推测划线部分的意思是“等同于”。故选A项。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第三段的While the Roman

44、hing. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade you to “write between the lines." Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading.I insist, quite bluntly, that marking up a book is not an act of damage b
45、ut of love.There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of purchase is only the first step to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself and
46、the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. I am arguing that books must be absorbed in your bloodstream to do you any good.Why is marking up a book necessary to reading? First, it keeps you awake. (And I don't mean only conscious; I mean wide awake.) In the second place, rea
47、ding, if it is active, is thinking and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.But, you may ask, why is writing necessary? Well, t
48、he physical act of writing, with your own hand, brings words and sentences more sharply before your mind and preserves them better in your memory. To set down your reaction to important words and sentences you have read, and the questions they have raised in your mind, is to preserve those reactions
49、 and sharpen those questions.If reading is to accomplish anything more than passing time, it must be active. You can't let your eyes glide across the lines in a book and come up with an understanding of what you have read. The books you read for pleasure can be read in a state of relaxation, and
50、 nothing is lost. An ordinary piece of light fiction, like "Gone with the Wind," doesn't require the most active kind of reading, and you don't absorb the ideas of John Dewey the way you absorb the story of David Copperfield.You may also say that this business of marking books is g
51、oing to slow up your reading. It probably will. That's one of the reasons for doing it. Most of us have been taken in by the notion that speed of reading is a measure of our intelligence. There is no such things as the right speed for intelligent reading. Some things should be read quickly and e
52、ffortlessly, and some should be read slowly and even laboriously. The sign of intelligence in reading is the ability to read different things differently according to their worth. In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get thr
53、ough you how many you can make your own. A few friends are better than a thousand acquaintances. If this be your aim, as it should be, you will not be impatient if it takes more time and effort to read a great book than it does a newspaper.12. Full ownership of a book does not occur until _.A. it is
54、 purchasedB. it is read between the linesC. it is written between the linesD. it is worn, shaken and loosened13. The main advantage of marking up a book is _.A. to keep you from feeling sleepyB. to show that you are absorbed in readingC. to make yourself conscious that you are reading activelyD. to
55、make yourself a part of it, making further understanding possible14. The author most probably agrees that _.A. Gone with the Wind and David Copperfield are not thought-through booksB. Marking a book can help preserve your questions about what is readC. Reading will benefit us more if it is done acti

The purpose of this passage is _.A. to tell the readers how to read different booksB. to encourage the readers to read slowly but activelyC. to argue that the readers should read between linesD. to introduce ways to mark up a book whi
57、le reading【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了给一本书做标记的好处：可以让书中的思想成为自己的一部分。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段的Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it.(只有你让它成为你自己的一部分，你才能完全拥
58、有一本书，而最好的方法就是通过在上面做标记)可知，通过在字里行间做标记，才能真正拥有一本书。C. it is written between the lines (在字里行间做笔记)符合以上说法，故选C项。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段的The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.(有记号的书通常都是经过深思熟虑的书。最后，做笔记帮助你
59、记住你的想法，或作者表达的想法)可知，在书上做笔记的优势是：更加理解这本书，并且让自己成为其中的一部分。D. to make yourself a part of it, making further understanding possible.(让你自己成为书的一部分，让进一步的理解变得可能)符合以上说法，故选D项。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段的An ordinary piece of light fiction, like "Gone with the Wind," doesn't require the most active kind of
60、 reading, and you don't absorb the ideas of John Dewey the way you absorb the story of David Copperfield.(一部普通的轻松小说，比如乱世佳人，不需要积极的阅读，你也不用像理解约翰.杜威的思想那样去理解大卫科波菲尔)可知作者认为乱世佳人和大卫科波菲尔不需要积极的去阅读，故推测作者认为他们不是深思熟虑的书。A. Gone with the Wind and David Copperfield are not thought-through books.(乱世佳人和大卫科波菲尔不是深思熟虑
61、的书)符合以上推测，故选A项。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段的If reading is to accomplish anything more than passing time, it must be active.(如果阅读的目的不仅仅是消磨时间，那么它必须是积极的。)You may also say that this business of marking books is going to slow up your reading. It probably will. That's one of the reasons for doing it.(你可能还会说
62、，在书上做标记会减慢你的阅读速度。也许会吧，这就是要慢读的原因之一)可推测，作者写本的目的是鼓励读者积极地，慢慢地阅读。B. to encourage the readers to read slowly but actively. (鼓励读者慢且积极的阅读)符合以上说法，故选B项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选岀能填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑。选项中有两个选项为多余选项。Travel is one of the activities people carry out most often during their spare ti
