[D] Digging up dead bodies after three years.

In Greece, only rich people will rest in peace for ever when they die. Most of the population, however, will be undisturbed for only three years, then they will be dug up, washed, compressed into a small tin box, and placed in a bone room. If the body has only partially decayed, it is reburied in a smaller cheaper grave, but not for long, the body will be dug up again some time later when it has fully decayed. Buying a piece of land for a grave is the only way to avoid this process. The cost of the grave is so great that most people choose to rent a grave for three years and even after being dug up, lasting peace is still not guaranteed. If no one pays for renting space in the bone room, the skeleton is removed and stored in a building in a poor part of the town. Lack of space in Amphons is the main reason why the dead are dug up after three years. The city is so overcrowded that sometimes dead bodies are kept in hospitals for over a week until a grave is found. Amphons city council wants to introduce cremation that is burning the dead bodies as a means of dealing with the problem. But the Greek Church resists this practice, they believe the only place where people burn is a hell, so burning dead bodies is against the Greek concept of life after death. To save space, the church suggested burying the bodies standing up instead of lying down. Some people proposed building multi-storey underground grave yards.


預覽四道題各選項，由反復出現(xiàn)的bury, body, grave等詞可推測本文與尸體在墓地的安藏有關(guān)。 滬江四六級 http://cet.hjenglish.com

26. What must Greeks do to keep the dead resting in ever-lasting peace?

【解析】選項均為動詞原形表明本題為考查“行為活動”類型。四個選項均與埋藏尸體有關(guān)，[B]項概念太泛，其他三項都較具體，故[B]不大可能為答案。 [A]表示“租”墓地，而[D]表示“買”墓地，二者中很可能有一個為答案，聽音時應重點關(guān)注。ever-lasting意為“持久的”。根據(jù)首句中only rich people…就可基本確定答案為 [D]（沒有錢就買不起墓地）。

27. Why are most dead bodies in Amphons dug up after three years?

【解析】選項均為不定式表明本題很可能是考查做某事的目的或原因。根據(jù)短文主題及選項中decayed, move等詞可推測， [B]中的they和 [C]中them應該是代指“bodies”。根據(jù) [B]、[D]選項內(nèi)容可推測本題很可能是與移動尸體的目的或原因有關(guān)。聽音時應留意表示因果關(guān)系的連接詞。一般這類詢問目的或原因的題目往往是在問題上做句型的轉(zhuǎn)換，也就是對原文的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，答案則經(jīng)常是原文的細節(jié)辨認，因此聽音時應重點留意以下要點：lack of land；if decayed； religion； multi-storey graveyard。 滬江四六級 http://cet.hjenglish.com

28. What suggestions does the church give about the burying of the dead bodies?

【解析】選項表明本題很可能是關(guān)于尸體埋藏的方式。由選項中的should可推測本題很可能與建議或意見有關(guān)。故聽音時應重點留意表達建議或意見的詞句。[D]是說在尸體部分腐爛的時候?qū)⑹w下藏，不太符合邏輯，可初步排除。[A]是說埋藏時將尸體躺著放，[B]則是說埋藏時將尸體立著放，二者正好相反，故很可能有一個為答案。本題的選擇可結(jié)合27題，如考生能確定27答案為[A]，便可基本確定本題答案為[B]（buried standing up→save land→solve the problem of lack of land）。

29. What practice does the Greek church object to?

【解析】選項均為動名詞表明本題為考查“行為活動”類型。四個選項均表示處理尸體的方式，故本題很可能是關(guān)于除埋藏以外的其他處理尸體的方式。[D]是說三年后將尸體挖出，仍然與埋藏尸體有關(guān)，且不屬于尸體的安置方式，與其他三項內(nèi)容明顯不同，故可初步排除。聽音時應留意以下要點：burn；store in remote place；place in bone room。本題只要抓住burn一詞便不難選出答案。

[A] Many foreign tourists visit the United States every year.?
[B]Americans enjoy eating out with their friends.?
[C] The United States is a country of immigrants.?

[D]A hired cook prepares the dishes and the family members serve the guests.

If you visit a big city anywhere in the world, you will probably find a restaurant would serve the food of your own native country. Most large cities in the United States offer international sample of foods. Many people enjoy eating the food of other nations. This is probably one reason why there are so many different kinds of restaurants in the United States. A second reason is that many Americans come from other parts of the world. They enjoy tasting the foods of their native lands. In the city of Detroit, for example, there are many people from western Europe, Greece, Latin America, and the Far East. There are many restaurants in Detroit which serve the foods of these areas. There are many other international restaurants too. Americans enjoy the foods in these restaurants as well as the opportunity to better understand the people and their way of life. One of the most common international restaurants to be found in the United States is the Italian restaurant. The restaurant may be a small business run by a single family. The mother of the family cooks all of the dishes, and the father and children serve the people who come to eat there. Or it may be a large restaurant owned by several different people who worked together in the business. Many Italian dishes that Americans enjoy are made with meats, tomatoes and cheese. They are very delicious and tasty.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

預覽三道題各選項，由選項中immigrants, other countries, other cultures以及eating out, foreign foods, cooking等詞可推測本文與美國的移民及美國人的飲食習慣有關(guān)。

30. Why are there so many international restaurants in the United States? 滬江四六級 http://cet.hjenglish.com

【解析】選項中的foreign, immigrants表明本題很可能與美國對外來食物的喜好有關(guān)。[A]、[C]、[D]三項均與“外來食物”有關(guān)，[B]是說美國人喜歡和朋友“外出吃飯”，與外來食物無關(guān)，故[可初步排除。[D]是說美國人更偏愛外來食物而不大喜歡自己國家的食物，說法過于絕對（這應該只是一部分美國人的喜好），故也可初步排除。因此本題的關(guān)鍵就是在“tourists（游客）”和“immigrants（移民）”之間選擇。

31. Why do Americans like to go to international restaurants apart from enjoying the foods there?

【解析】選項中都含有can表明本題很可能與做某事能夠達到的目的有關(guān)。由選項中的other countries, other cultures, foreign等可推測本題很可能涉及到與其他國家人民的接觸。根據(jù)對主題的分析可知本文主要與飲食有關(guān)，而[C]、[D]分別是從語言和商業(yè)角度來說，與主題不太相關(guān)，且從其他各題選項中均找不到與這兩方面相關(guān)的線索，故二者均不大可能為答案。故本題主要應在[A]（make friends）和[B]（know other cultures）之間選擇。而根據(jù)常識，飲食應該與文化和生活方式聯(lián)系比較緊密，因此答案為[B]的可能性更大。 滬江四六級 http://cet.hjenglish.com

32. How is it typical Italian family restaurant run in the United States?

【解析】選項中waitress, serve, guests以及husband, mother, children等表明本題很可能與家庭經(jīng)營的餐館中各個家庭成員如何分工有關(guān)。四個選項中負責cooking的人均不同，分別是couple, husband, mother和hired cook。故聽音時只要辨別出由誰來cooking即可確定答案。wait on sb. 意為“照料或侍侯某人（尤指進餐時）”。


Passage Three

[A] By removing the bottom of the basket.?

One winter day in 1891, a class of training school in Massachusetts, U. S. A, went into the gym for their daily exercises. Since the football season had ended, most of young men felt they were in for a boring time. But their teacher, Janes Nasmith had other ideas. He had been working for a long time on the new game that would have the excitement of American football. Nasmith showed the men a basket he had hung at the each end of the gym, and explained that they were going to use a round European football, at first everybody tried to throw the ball into the basket no matter where he was standing. “Pass! Pass!” Nasmith kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players. Slowly, they began to understand what was wanted of them. The problem with the new game, which was soon called “basketball”, was getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary food baskets with bottoms, and the ball, of course, stayed inside. At first, someone had to climb up every time a basket was scored. It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through. There have been many changes in the rules since then, and basketball has become one of the world’s most popular sports. 滬江四六級 http://cet.hjenglish.com


預覽三道題各選項，由選項中basketball game, basket, rules等可推測本文與籃球比賽和比賽規(guī)則有關(guān)。

33. What did Nasmith do to entertain his students one winter day?

【解析】選項中train, let, taught表明he很可能是代指“教練”。本題很可能是問教練帶領(lǐng)或教隊員們做什么。[A]是說“觀看”籃球比賽，而從本題其他選項及34題各選項可知隊員們應該是親自在“參與”比賽，故[A]可初步排除。[B]是說踢歐洲足球（football），而本題及其他題各選項中涉及的均是籃球（basketball），故[B]也可初步排除。根據(jù)34題[C]和35題[C]中的rules可推測本文很可能介紹的是一種新型比賽項目（new game），故本題的答案最有可能為[D]。 滬江四六級 http://cet.hjenglish.com

34. According to the speaker, what was the problem with the new game?

【解析】選項中trouble, difficulty表明本題很可能與比賽中的問題或困難有關(guān)。[D]不是比賽過程中具體的問題，與其他三項內(nèi)容明顯不同，故可初步排除。因此聽音時應重點關(guān)注以下要點：問題－basket too high, ball out of basket, complex rules。

35. How was the problem with the new game solved?

【解析】選項表明本題是關(guān)于做某事的方式。而前面分析可知，34題是關(guān)于比賽中的問題或困難，故本題很可能是關(guān)于如何解決該問題或困難。因此本題答案的選擇可聯(lián)系34題。而稍加分析便不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，本題中[A]、[B]、[C]分別是針對34題[B]、[A]、[C]三種問題的解決辦法，因此只要抓住問題或解決辦法中的任何一方面，便可確定兩道題的答案。remove意為“去除，去掉”。 滬江四六級 http://cet.hjenglish.com
