【答案与解析】
1.A 这篇文章主要讲的是作者对诗的一些理解和看法。没有接受多少教育的人去背诗，有教养的人自己去写诗。由后面的the most cultured 可知，此空是和cultured 相对的，因此只有uneducated合适。
2.D 诗是没有任何障碍的，无论是文化、年龄、性别还是宗教。由后面所给的culture, age, gender, religion 这些具体的例子可以知道这些是交流中的障碍，因此要选barrier。此题用排除法也可以做，文化、宗教、性别这些显然不是痛苦，不是害怕，也不仅仅是标志。
3.C 我们甚至可以假设诗能够捕捉到宇宙的节奏，潮起潮落，四季的变换，我们呼吸的节奏等等。我们常说诗讲究一种韵律，这种韵律最初来源于自然界，因此选rhythm。
4.C 为什么诗是人类拥有的最接近通用语言的事物呢？有前面提到的，文化、宗教、性别、年龄等都不能构成对诗的障碍，由此可见诗是最接近通用语言的，诗是最接近人类共同的。
5.B 因为诗愉悦了我们的耳朵、心智和灵魂。读诗是一个享受的过程，诗能让我们产生愉悦感，由后面的satisfy也可知道这里应该是delight。
6.B 它通过语言的魅力满足了我们对美的渴望。Craving “渴望；热望”。正所谓“爱美之心，人皆有之”，人们对美是期待，是渴望，而不是感激，竞争，也不仅仅是好奇。
7.A 但是诗传递的不仅仅是快乐。快乐是通过诗这一媒介传递出来的，或者说诗能够给人们带来快乐。Convey 有“传递，传达”的意思。
8.A 诗不仅能够传递快乐，也能够交流思想。诗除了能够表达感情之外，也能够传达意思，因此应用meaning。
9.D 好诗为灵魂提供了精神食粮。这里的food有其象征意义，它不是我们通常所吃的食物，而是精神食粮，因此享用这种精神食粮的也不会是活生生的个人或群体，而是抽象的心灵。
10.C 它能够时不时地让我们意识到那些我们平时很少看透的，深层的，无以言表的情感。
11.A 由于是deeper and unnamed feelings, 所以平时我们很少觉察到，很少看透。Penetrate 表示“渗透；穿透；洞察”。
12.C 诗展现了那些深层的，无以言表的感情，并且让他们发出了自己的声音。诗发觉了这些无以言表的感情，并且将他们表达了出来。Give a voice, 让…发声，让…表达。
13.B 诗让我们注意到了那些被我们忽视的人生方面，它不仅使我们理解了诗的本质，也让我们认识了自己。由后面的in our hurry 可以知道是在匆忙的人生中，被我们忽视的一些东西。
14.B 因此，诗并不是从我们生活中分离出来的一些独特的东西。Set apart “将...分离开”。由句意可以知道只有Set apart 合适。
15.D 它是我们每个人的一部分。有前面诗不是从生活中分离出来的，可以知道，它是我们每个人的有机组成部分。
16.B 诗能够表达我们最深层的希望和梦想。由前面诗能够表达the deeper and unnamed feeling 可推测它能够表达深层次的梦想。
17.A 尽管诗能够满足人们深层次的需求，但是还是有很多人害怕和怀疑诗。由前面的fear和并列结果可以知道这里只有distrust合适。
18.C 有人认为诗晦涩难懂，因为他们是由一些脱离了真实生活的人所写的。Out of the touch with, “脱离了......”。
19.B 事实上，从很早开始，大多数诗人都是自己行动的，他们积极参与生活，享受生活。由后面的involved可知他们是自己行动的。
20.A 女诗人也没有逃避生活。Shelter from “隐藏，逃避…,躲藏…”。这句话是说女诗人也是积极享受生活的。

【答案与解析】
1.affects 改成 effects
(我们所吃的食物对我们的健康有着很深的影响。Have effecton..., “对…有影响，对…有效果”，这里混淆了effect 和affect作名词是“感情，情绪反应”的意思。)
2.steps 改成 efforts
(尽管现代科技采取了很多措施来使食物更适合食用，但事实上，他们却使食物变得更难吃了。这里词组搭配混淆make steps 后面应接不定时to, 而不是介词in。)
3.is 改成are
(一些研究表明人类80%的疾病是与饮食相关的。由于这里的illnesses “各种各样的疾病”是复数，所以后面应该用are。)
4.because 后面加上介词of
(一些不同的文化的人更容易感染一些特定的疾病，因为这些文化特有的食物。Because引导原因状语从句，后面接的是一个句子，而这里后面是一个名词短语，应该用because of来引导。)
5.which 改成that
(食物与疾病相关并不是一个新的发现。这里是一个主语从句，真正的主语是food is related to illness，前面差一个引导词。引导主语从句连词有that, whether, who, what, whatever等，which 不能引导主语从句，因此应将which改成that。)
6.causing 改成cause
(1945年政府的一些研究员意识到通常用于保持肉类颜色的硝酸盐和亚硝酸盐以及其他的一些食物添加剂会导致癌症。这里要弄清句子的结构，其实，这里的主句是researchers realized something cause cancer。这里只是陈述一个事实，这些东西会引起癌症，并没有进行时或其他的时态，因此应用动词原形。)
7.knowing 改成 to know
(一直都很难判断贴在食物标签上的加工原料哪些是对身体有益的，哪些是有害的。It’s difficult to do something 而不是doing something。这里也是结构混用。)
8.treating 改成treated
(在被治疗过的乳牛的牛奶中也发现了盘尼西林。生病的乳牛是被人们治疗的，它自己并不能治疗，因此应用被动形式。)
9.fat 改成fatten
(农民们只是想让他们的家畜长得更肥一些。由不定式结构可以知道这里需要一个动词，而fat的动词形式是fatten，fatten表示“养肥；使肥沃；使充实”。)
10.repeated 改成repeatedly
(尽管食物和药物管理局多次尝试想控制这样的行为，但都没有成功。这里repeatedly是用来修饰动词tried 因此要用其副词形式。)
V. READING COMPREHENSION(80 Points)
READING PASSAGE 1
Questions 1-9 refer tothe following passage.
In this passage, theauthor, Virginia Woolf, describes the process by which she discovered her ownvoice as a writer.
A. My story is a simple one. You have only got to figure toyourselves a girl in a bedroom with a pen in her hand. She had only to movethat pen from left to right—from ten o’clock to one. Then it occurred to her todo what is simple and cheap enough after all—to slip a few of those pages intoan envelope, fix a penny stamp in the comer, and drop the envelope into the redbox at the corner. It was thus that I became a journalist; and my effort wasrewarded on the first day of the following month—a very glorious day it was forme—by a letter from an editor containing a cheque for one pound ten shillingsand sixpence.
B. What could be easier than to write articles? But wait amoment. Articles have to be about something. Mine, I seemed to remember, wasabout a novel by a famous man. And while I was writing this review, Idiscovered that if I were going to review books I should need to do battle witha certain phantom. And the phantom was a woman, and when I came to know herbetter I called her after the heroine of a famous poem “The Angel in the House.”It was she who used to come between me and my paper when I was writing reviews.It was she who bothered me and wasted my time and so tormented me that at lastI killed her. I will describe her as shortly as I can. She was intenselysympathetic. She was immensely charming. She was utterly unselfish. Sheexcelled in the difficult arts of family life. She sacrificed herself daily.She was so constituted that she never had a mind or a wish of her own, butpreferred to sympathize with the minds and wishes of others. Above all—I neednot say it—she was pure. In those days every house had its angel. And when Icame to write I encountered her with the very first words. The shadow of herwings fell on my page; I heard the rustling of her skirts in the room. Directly,that is to say, I took my pen in hand to review that novel by a famous man, sheslipped behind me and whispered: “My dear, you are a young woman. You arewriting about a book that has been written by a man. Be sympathetic; be tender;flatter; deceive; use all the arts and wiles of our sex. Never let anybodyguess that you have a mind of your own. Above all, be pure.” And she made as ifto guide my pen. I now record the one act for which I take some credit tomyself. I turned upon her and caught her by the throat. I did my best to killher. My excuse, if I were to be had up in a court of law, would be that I actedin self-defense. Had I not killed her she would have killed me. She would haveplucked the heart of my writing. For, as I found, directly I put pen to paper,you can not even review a novel without having a mind of your own, withoutexpressing what you think to be the truth about human relations, morality, sex.And all these questions, according to the Angel in the House, cannot be dealtwith freely and openly by women; they must charm, they must conciliate, theymust—to put it bluntly—tell lies if they are to succeed. Thus, whenever I feltthe shadow of her wing or the radiance of her halo upon my page, I took up theinkpot and flung it at her. She died hard. Her fictitious nature was of greatassistance to her. It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.

【答案与解析】
1.A 这是一个推断题，信息主要集中在第一段。第一段主要描写了她第一次在自己的房间里写文章，并邮寄出去，最终获得稿酬的经历。因此A 项与此相符。
2.C 该句话出现在第二段的段首，起着承上启下的作用。第二段主要描写了作者是如何摆脱the phantom 的影响，来自由地表达自己的思想的过程。因此它在这里的主要目的就是引出她是如何摆脱the phantom 的影响。
3.B 由she never had a mind or a wish of her own, but preferred tosympathize with the minds and wishes of others可知，她总是为别人着想，并且很单纯，所以应选择B项。
4.A 由前面It was she who bothered me and wasted my time and so tormented methat at last I killed her 可知作者很恨她，然而这里有描写的都是她的优点，但这些优点也成为了作者想摆脱她的理由，因此是positive characteristics can be seen in a negative light。
5.C 由前面作者的描述She was intensely sympathetic. She was immensely charming. She wasutterly unselfish. She excelled in the difficult arts of family life. Shesacrificed herself daily. She was so constituted that she never had a mind or awish of her own, but preferred to sympathize with the minds and wishes ofothers. 我们也可以知道sheis pure.这里作者只是再补充说明。
6.C 此题考查对文中个别单词的理解。我们可以把下面的几个选项一一带进原文看是否合适，首先in a straight line 是对directly的直接解释，放在这两句中显然与原文意义不符，unswervingly 表示“坚定不移的”，与原文也不相符，as soon as“一…就….”可引导时间状语从句，把它带进原文，从语法结构到句意都相符。因为原文中是两个分句，正好缺一个状语来引导，而且在意义上也十分一致，两句都表示当作者拿起笔开始写作时会怎么样。
7.A 由文中And all these questions, according to the Angel in the House, cannotbe dealt with freely and openly by women 可知，the angel 认为女作家不应该写human relations, morality, sex 这些话题，而只应该写适合女性作家的话题。
8.D 由you can not even review a novel without having a mind of your own,without expressing what you think to be the truth about human relations,morality, sex. And all these questions, according to the Angel in the House,cannot be dealt with freely and openly by women可知作者是反对局限于传统的女性话题中，她希望能够独立地，自由地书写自己喜欢的东西。
9.A 文章的phantom，即the angel 是作者自己的想象，并不是真实存在的，而它却影响了作者最初的创作，由此可以看出imagination 有时也会妨碍创造，再由it’s far harder to kill the phantom 可知the imagination is very powerful.
10.B 此题是一道推测题，推测作者这样写的意图，信息主要集中在文章第一段。strongly right-handed 可知作者一直是习惯用右手的，那突然换成左手肯定会遇到很多困难，再结合后文作者的确描述了自己换用左手过程的艰辛，由此可见作者这样写主要是为了暗示为了换用左手作者需要克服很多困难。
READING PASSAGE 2
Questions 10-20 arebased on the following passage.
This passage is partof an introduction written by a well-known doctor and essayist for his 1996book about rare neurological disorders.
A. I am writing this with my left hand, although I am stronglyright-handed. I had surgery to my right shoulder a month ago and am notpermitted, not capable of, use of the right arm at this time. I write slowly,awkwardly—but more easily, more naturally, with each passing day. I amadapting, learning, all the while—not merely this left-handed writing, but adozen other left-handed skills as well. I have also become very adept with mytoes, to compensate for having one arm in a sling; I was quite off balance fora few days when the arm was first immobilized, but now I walk differently, Ihave discovered a new balance. I am developing different patterns, differenthabits.., a different identity, one might say, at least in this particularsphere. There must be changes going on with some of the programs and circuitsin my brain—altering synaptic weights and connectivities and signals (thoughour methods of brain imaging are still too crude to show these).
B. Though some of my adaptations are deliberate, planned, andsome are learned through trial and error (in the first week I injured everyfinger on my left hand), most have occurred by themselves, unconsciously, byreprogrammings and adaptations of which I know nothing (any more than I know,or can know, how I normally walk). Next month, if all goes well, I can start toreadapt again, to regain a full (and “natural”) use of the right arm, toreincorporate it back into my body image, myself, to become a dexterous humanbeing once again.
C. But recovery, in such circumstances, is by no meansautomatic, a simple process like tissue healing—it will involve a whole nexusof muscular and postural adjustments, a whole sequence of new procedures (andtheir synthesis), learning, finding a new path to recovery. My surgeon, anunderstanding man who has had the same operation himself, said, “There aregeneral guidelines, restrictions, recommendations. But all the particulars youwill have to find out for yourself.” Jay, my physiotherapist, expressed himselfsimilarly: “Adaptation follows a different path in each person. The nervoussystem creates its own paths. You’re the neurologist—you must see this alltime.”
D. Nature’s imagination, as physicist Freeman Dyson likes tosay, is richer than ours, and he speaks, marvellingly, of this richness in thephysical and biological, worlds, the endless diversity of physical forms andforms of life. For me, as a physician, nature’s richness is to be studied inthe phenomena of health and disease, in the endless forms of individualadaptation by which human organisms, people adapt and reconstruct themselveswhen faced with the challenges and vicissitudes of life.
E. Thus while one may be distressed by the trials ofdevelopmental disorders or disease, one may sometimes see them as creativetoo—for if they destroy particular paths, particular ways of doing things, theymay force the nervous system into making other paths and ways, force on it an unexpectedgrowth and evolution. This other side of development or disease is something Isee, potentially, in almost every patient. That such radical adaptations canoccur demands a view of the brain as dynamic and active rather than programmedand static, a supremely efficient adaptive system geared for evolution andchange, ceaselessly adapting to the needs of the organism—its need, above all,to construct a coherent self and world, whatever defects or disorders of brainfunction befall it. That the brain is minutely differentiated is clear: thereare hundreds of tiny areas crucial for every aspect of perception and behavior(from the perception of color and of motion to, perhaps, the intellectualorientation of the individual). The miracle is how they all cooperate, areintegrated together, in the creation of a self.
F. This sense of the brain’s remarkable plasticity, itscapacity for the most striking adaptations, not the least in the special (andoften desperate) circumstance of neural or sensory mishap, has come to dominatemy own perception of my patients and their lives. So much so, indeed, that I amsometimes moved to wonder whether it may be necessary to redefine the veryconcepts of "health" and “disease,” to see these in terms of the abilityof the organism to create a new organization and order, one that fits itsspecial, altered disposition and needs, rather than in the terms of a rigidlydefined “norm.”
10. The author describes himself as“strongly right-handed” (line 1, Para. A) to _____.

A. highlightthe process of learning through experience
B. explain hiscontinuing inability to perform simple tasks
C. rationalizethe frustration he felt about achieving his goals
D. illustrate apoint about unconscious adaptation
14. In lines 4-6, Para. C, the surgeonadvises the author to _____.
A. become moreopen-minded about muscular adjustments than he had been

A. patientshave complete control over the progress of their recovery
B. eachneurologist follows a different path to understanding
C. allneurologists are aware of the nervous system’s adaptability
D. the authoris inadequately informed about the intricacies of the muscular system
16. In line 2, Para. D, “richness” mostnearly means _____.
A. variety
B. meaning
C. resources
D. economicwealth
17. Why does the author mention that he isa physician in lines 3-6, Para. D?
A. To emphasizehis particular point of view
B. Toillustrate the limits of scientific knowledge.
C. To suggestthat his main concern is the surgery he performs on patients
D. To dispelany doubt about his credentials in the field of neurology.
18.Lines 1-4 in Para. E primarily encourage readers to view disease as _____.

A. explain themost fundamental aspects of brain function
B. discuss theimpact of surgery on the nervous system
C. argue thatthe brain’s ability to adapt to changing needs is virtually limitless
D. emphasizethat current technology to measure brain activity is inadequate
【答案与解析】
11.A 由there must be,以及后面的in my brain 可知这些只是作者的推测，现在还没有科学依据。
12.D 这是一道猜测词义的题。Crude这个词，我们都比较熟悉，它有“粗糙的；天然的，未加工的；粗鲁的”等意思。在文中它是用来形容人脑的，说人脑还不够发达，以至于无法看到这些变化。
13.D 这一段主要是描写作者如何通过反复尝试来调整和适应左手的。有插入语前面unconsciously和I know nothing 可知这里作者主要想强调the adaptation is unconscious.
14.B 这是一道细节题，由But all the particulars you will have to find our for yourself 可知医生是建议他去寻找适合自己的调整适应方式。
15.D 作者所引用的这段话是说明，神经系统的调节会随个体产生差异。因此A、B、C所表达的意思都有出入，并且这三个选项的说法太绝对。
16.A 词义猜测题。Richness也是一个非常常见的词，它本来的意思有“丰富；富裕；肥沃；华美等”这里的richness是修饰nature’s imagination 的，再由后文中the endless diversity，in the endless forms 可知这里的richness 不是指经济的富裕，而是指variety。
17.A 这是一道推断题，for everyone , the nature’s rich in imagination, but for the author,as a as a physician, nature’s richness is to be studied in the phenomena ofhealth and disease, in the endless forms of individual adaptation by whichhuman organisms, people adapt and reconstruct themselves when faced with thechallenges and vicissitudes of life.因此作者只是想表达他作为physician 的一种观点和看法。
18.B 细节推断题，信息就集中在这几句话中。由one may sometimes see them as creative too—for if they destroyparticular paths, particular ways of doing things, they may force the nervoussystem into making other paths and ways, force on it an unexpected growth andevolution. This other side of development or disease is something I see以及作者自身的经历我们可以看出作者是鼓励人们将病痛看作是一次改变自我的机会。
19.C 细节推断题，要根据原文所给的信息进行适当合理的推断。由That such radical adaptations can occur demands a view of the brainas dynamic and active rather than programmed and static 可知一般的观点会认为人的大脑是programmed andstatic，是不会改变的。
20.C 作者先由自己因手术而不得不使用左手的事例阐述了人的神经系统拥有自动调整和适应的机制，接着作者又阐述了自己作为一名精神病学家对此的体会和看法，以及由此观点而引发的一些其他思考。因此文章的中心思想就是讲人体的调整，适应机制。
READING PASSAGE 3
UNICEF,Malnutrition and Micronutrients
UNICEF hascontinued to be at the forefront of advocacy and support for the importation ofprogram to combat child malnutrition. A condition for designing effectiveprogram to fight malnutrition is understanding the causes of the problem andrecognizing how complex they are Micronutrients.
IODINE(碘): some of the most rapid andimportant progress in UNICEF programs is in the area of salt iodization. Thestrategy of universal salt iodization (USI) has been widely accepted in allregions, and the goal of USI by end-1995 has been met in virtually all of Latin America and in many countries in other regions. During the year, a number ofcountries with a high prevalence of fording deficiency in which salt iodizationwas previously thought to be virtually impossible, such as Pakistan andIndonesia, started to iodize at least half of all salt reaching consumers. Toachieve this, UNICEF officers supported a range of innovative and flexibleapproaches, for example, the establishment of an "Iodized Salt SupportFacility" in Pakistan, to provide training, supplies and quality controlto the 800 or so small salt crushers in the country.
Enormousprogress was seen not only in getting iodine into salt but also in thepromulgation of laws to give teeth to monitoring and quality control efforts.UNICEF, WHO and the International Council for the Control of Iodine Disorders(ICCID) sponsored a forum in1995 to consider the iodine and monitoringchallenges faced by countries in which salt is brought to market by many smallproducers rather than larger enterprises.
A technicalmonograph on practical ways of monitoring salt iodization programs wasdeveloped jointly with WHO, ICCID and PAMM and widely distributed. Many UNICEFcountry programs are monitoring household availability of iodine salt,utilizing a simple test kit, as part of the Multi-Indicator Cluster Surveysbeing undertaken to assess progress in meeting the goals of the World Summit.
VITAMIN A:WHO-UNICEF estimates now indicate that over 250 million children still sufferfrom vitamin A deficiency (VAD) with many million more at risk’ The knowneffects of VAD on the immune system and thus on child mortality make this ahigh-priority challenge for UNICEF. In 1995, UNICEF supported surveys ofvitamin A status that resulted in widespread deficiency being recognized forthe first time in Egypt, South Africa, Kenya and Botswana.
With supportfrom the Micronutrient Initiative in Canada, UNICEF launched projects in14countries that will enable innovation in systems of distribution of vitamin Asupplements and improvements in monitoring the mortality and morbidity impactof supplementation. A number of countries are building on the successfulexperience of Guatemala in fortification of sugar with vitamin A. Bolivia and Brazil both launched sugar fortification with vitamin A on a pilot basis in 1995. In Namibia and South Africa, the feasibility of fortifying maize meal with vitamin A is beingconsidered.
UNICEF supportsdietary diversification and the consumption of appropriate fruits andvegetables as one of the most potentially sustainable ways for communities toovercome micronutrient malnutrition. Research completed in 1995 with UNICEFassistance pointed to the need to pay further attention to the types ofvegetables grown and the type of cooking in order to maximize the impact ofhome gardening on the vitamin A status of children. In Bangladesh, UNICEF is collaborating with Helen Keller International to assess the impact ofa large home gardening project on the vitamin A status of mothers and youngchildren. This information should help to ensure that future programs of thistype are designed in the most cost-effective way.
IRON: Thestatement on strategies for reducing iron deficiency anemia, developed andadopted by WHO and UNICEF in 1995, calls for general supplementation with ironin any population of pregnant women or young children where the prevalence ofanemia exceeds 30%. The results of research trials investigating the impact onanemia of weekly iron supplements have started to become available. Weekly ironor iron and vitamin A supplements now appear to be a feasible intervention tocombat iron deficiency anemia on a population basis in some vulnerable groups.
UNICEF supporteda meeting, jointly with the Thrasher Research Fund and Cornell University, to explore ways of increasing the micronutrient content of foods commonly consumedin countries where micronutrient malnutrition is common. Plant breeders, soilscientist and human nutritionists met to consider the problem and agreed thatthe micronutrient content of foods had been neglected in the breeding of high yielding(green revolution) varieties of cereals such as rice. With the realization oftremendous importance of the micronutrient content of staple food crops tohuman development, plant breeders agreed that future breeding work should takemicronutrient goals into account. The participants also called for research inother priority areas to exploit the potential food-based systems, including thedevelopment of programs and policies that influence the choices of consumersand producers to increase the supply and consumption of micronutrient-richfoods.
Complete thesentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the text for each answer. Writeyour answers in the corresponding places on your answer sheet.
21. UNICEF had expected to accomplish thetarget of _____ by the end of 1995.
22. _____ are thought to be unlikely toreach the goal of salt iodization program.
23.In Pakistan and Indonesia’s countryside salt is supplied through the channel of _____.
24. UNICEF experts believe _____ proves tobe the most cost-effective way in combating VAD.
25. Children suffer most from VAD becauseevidence shows their _____ is affected.
26. Pregnant women and young children are_____ to suffer iron deficiency anemia.
27. _____ is partly responsible for thelack of micronutrient content in foods.
【答案与解析】
21.universal salt iodization
(细节题，信息主要出现在第二段，由The strategy of universal salt iodization (USI) has been widelyaccepted in all regions, and the goal of USI by end-1995 has been met invirtually all of Latin America and in many countries in other regions可知the target was USI. )
22.Pakistan and Indonesia
(也是细节题。由a number of countries with a high prevalence of fording deficiencyin which salt iodization was previously thought to be virtually impossible,such as Pakistan and Indonesia, started to iodize at least half of all saltreaching consumers可知以前被认为不可能完成的国家有Pakistan and Indonesia。)
23.small salt crushers
(由the establishment of an "Iodized Salt Support Facility" inPakistan, to provide training, supplies and quality control to the 800 or sosmall salt crushers in the country可知，在Pakistan这样的国家，食盐是通过small salt crushers来供应的。)
24.large home gardening
(由UNICEF is collaborating with Helen Keller International to assessthe impact of a large home gardening project on the vitamin A status of mothersand young children. This information should help to ensure that future programsof this type are designed in the most cost-effective way可知the large home gardening isthe most cost-effective way.)

TheFederal Aviation Administration
PART A
Nobody goes up,up and away until the folks at the FAA say it’s OK. The Federal AviationAdministration (FAA) is the government agency responsible for overseeing airtransportation in the US. An arm of the US Department of Transportation, theFAA focuses on air transportation safety, including the enforcement of safetystandards for aircraft manufacturing, operation, and maintenance. It alsomanages air traffic in the US through a network of towers at more than19,000airports. It maintains radar systems, communication equipment, and air trafficsecurity systems. Outside the US, the FAA works with international aviationauthorities in developing safety practices implemented globally.
As commercialflying emerged and increased, the Bureau of Air Commerce encouraged a group ofairlines to establish the first three centers or providing air traffic control(ATC) along the airways. The pioneer air traffic controllers used maps,blackboards, and mental calculations to ensure the safe separation of aircrafttravelling along designated routes between cities. The application of radar toATC helped controllers in their drive to keep abreast of the postwar boom incommercial air transportation. The approaching era of jet travel, and a seriesof midair collisions, prompted passage of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958.This legislation gave rise to a new independent body, the Federal AviationAgency. The act also gave the FAA sole responsibility for a commoncivil-military system of air navigation and air traffic control.
PART B
Two principalcategories of rules governing air traffic are visual flight rules (VFR) andinstrument flight rules (IFR). Aircraft operating under visual flight rules(VFR aircraft) maintain separation from other aircraft visually. IFR aircraftin controlled airspace operate in accordance with clearances and instructionsprovided by air-traffic controllers for the purpose of maintaining separationand expediting the flow of traffic. Flight crews operating under instrumentflight rules are responsible for seeing and avoiding other aircraft, but theair-traffic control clearances they receive provide substantial added assuranceof safe separation. Consequently, flight crews often will operate underinstrument flight rues even though the weather satisfies visual meteorologicalconditions. Many technologies are used in air traffic control systems. Theradar information is used to develop clearances and instructions for separatingaircraft operating under instrument rules, and to provide traffic advisories toIFR aircraft and to VFR aircraft receiving the traffic advisory service. Trafficadvisories provide the ranges, bearings, and altitudes of aircraft in thepilot’s immediate vicinity. The pilot is responsible for visually acquiring andavoiding any traffic that may be a collision threat.
Primary andsecondary radar are used to enhance a controller’s “situational awareness”within his assigned airspace. Secondary radar is an interrogate-respond system.The rotating directional antenna of the ground station transmits a pulse pairto the transponder in the aircraft. The pulse spacing encodes one of twomessages—“transmit your altitude” (the Mode C interrogation) or “transmit youridentity” (the Mode A interrogation). The aircraft then transmits an encodedpressure-altitude reply in response to the first interrogation and a four-digitidentity code, assigned by air-traffic control and entered into the transponderby the pilot, in response to the second.
Primary radaroperates by transmitting high-power, radio-frequency pulses from a rotatingdirectional antenna. The energy is reflected from any aircraft in thedirectional beam and received by the antenna. The aircraft is displayed at theazimuth corresponding to the pointing direction of the antenna and the rangecorresponding to the round-trip time between pulse transmission and receipt ofreflected signal. Primary radar has the advantage that aircraft withoutair-traffic control transponders can be detected, and energy reflected fromheavy precipitation indicates to the controller areas of potentially hazardousweather. However, extraneous returns (clutter) from surrounding buildings andterrain can reduce the effectiveness of primary radar in detecting aircraft. Atmost air-traffic control radar sites, the secondary radar antenna is mounted onthe primary radar antenna, and they are turned by a common drive system.
PART C
With the numberof aircraft flying over the United States today, proper airspace usage iscritical for flight safety and efficient service to pilots and the flyingpublic. To assist in this goal, the airspace is divided into five classes A-E.Class A airspace is the airspace from 18,000 feet to 60,000 feet. All pilotsflying in Class A airspace shall file an IFR flight plan and receive anappropriate air traffic control clearance.
Class B airspaceis generally the airspace from the surface to 10,000 feet. This airspace isnormally around the busiest airports in terms of aircraft traffic such as Chicago or   Los Angeles. Class B airspace is individually designed to meet the needs ofthe particular airport and consists of a surface areas and two more layers.Most Class B airspace resembles an upside down wedding cake. Pilots mustcontact air traffic control to receive an air traffic control clearance toenter Class B airspace. Their airspace from the surface to 4,000 feet above theairport elevation is called the Class C airspace. Class C airspace will only befound at airports that have an operational control tower, are services by aradar approach control. Pilots must establish and maintain two-way radiocommunications with the ATC facility prior to entering airspace. The fourthairspace is Class D airspace which is generally that airspace from the surfaceto 2,500 feet above the airport elevation. Like Class C airspace, Class Dairspace only surrounds airports that have an operational control tower and isalso tailored to meet the needs of the airport. Pilots are also required toestablish and maintain two-way radio communications with the ATC facilitybefore entering the airspace. No separation services will be provided to pilotsof VFR aircraft. Pilots operating under VFR must still use “see-and-avoid” foraircraft separation.
The fifthairspace is Class E airspace which is generally that airspace that is not ClassA, B, C, or D. Class E airspace extends upward from either the surface or adesignated altitude to the overlying or adjacent controlled airspace. If anaircraft is flying on a Federal airway below18,000 feet, it is in Class Eairspace. Class E airspace is also the airspace used by aircraft transiting toand from the terminal.
Answer the followingquestions USING NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage.
31. What does the Federal AviationAdministration (FAA) take charge of in the US?
32. Apart from jet travel, what elsebrought about the advent of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958?
33. What information is used to develop clearance and providetraffic advisories in air traffic control systems?
34. What does the aircraft send back as a response to the firstinterrogation from the secondary radar?
35. What reduces the effectiveness ofprimary radar in identifying flights?
【答案与解析】
31.Overseeing air transportation.
(由The Federal AviationAdministration (FAA) is the government agency responsible for overseeing airtransportation in the US可以看出FAA的主要职责是监督空中交通。)
32.Midair collisions.
(由The approaching era of jet travel, and a series of midaircollisions, prompted passage of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958可以看出，除了飞机旅行之外，一系列的空中事故也促进了此法案的出台。)
33.The radar information.
(由The radar information is used to develop clearances and instructionsfor separating aircraft operating under instrument rules, and to providetraffic advisories to IFR aircraft and to VFR aircraft receiving the trafficadvisory service可以看出The radar information is used to develop clearance and providetraffic advisories。)
34.Encoded pressure-altitude reply.
(由part B 第二段中The aircraft then transmits an encoded pressure-altitude reply inresponse to the first interrogation可知第一次询问时，回答的是encoded pressure-altitude reply。)
35.Extraneous returns.
(由part B 第三段中extraneous returns (clutter) from surrounding buildings and terraincan reduce the effectiveness of primary radar in detecting aircraft可知是extraneous returns降低了初次雷达的工作效率。)

【答案与解析】
36.IFR flight plan.
(这个表格的信息主要集中在part C部分。由part C 第一段中的All pilots flying in Class A airspace shall file an IFR flight planand receive an appropriate air traffic control clearance可知飞行员shall file an IFR flightplan。)
37.Two more layers.
(由part C 第二段中的Class B airspace is individually designed to meet the needs of theparticular airport and consists of a surface areas and two more layers 可得出此题的答案。)
38.Two-way radio communications.
(由part C 第二段中的Pilots must establish and maintain two-way radio communications withthe ATC facility prior to entering airspace可知道此题的答案。)
39.Operating under VFR.
(由part C 第二段的最后一句Pilots operating under VFR must still use “see-and-avoid” foraircraft separation可以得知只有那些under VFR 的飞行员才需要自己去发现和避免与其他飞机相撞。)
40.Transiting.
(由文章最后一句ClassE airspace is also the airspace used by aircraft transiting to and from theterminal可以得出此题的答案。)
