number work; without a teacher they would only play games.
Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as the library lady or just the helper. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the
school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can.
Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed. 58. The author points out at the very beginning that ______.
? A) hospital teaching is of surprisingly poor quality ? B) most children in hospital receive proper teaching ? C) the special children's hospitals are worst off ? D) not enough is known about hospital teaching 这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】 答案:D
[解析] 细节题。根据题干中的very beginning定位文章开头，选项D是文章首句的同义转换。首句说对于hospital teaching的质量知之甚少，而非A所说的质量差得惊人，B、C在开头未提及，且与文章后面的信息相反。
59. What can be inferred from the latest survey?
? A) Hospital teaching across the country is similar. ? B) Children are better off without hospital teachers.
? C) Only one-fourth of the hospitals have full-time teachers. ? D) All hospitals surveyed offer special treatment to children. 这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】 答案:C
[解析] 细节推断题。根据题干中的latest survey定位文章第二段。选项A与首句信息相反，C是根据二、三句中的数据及信息做出的推断，为答案。B、D无依据。
60. Even if hospital teaching is of any help, a teacher usually just ______.
? A) prevents the children from falling behind ? B) forces the children to form a habit of studying ? C) keeps the children from idling around ? D) goes through the textbooks roughly 这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】 答案:C
[解析] 细节题。根据题干中的hospital teaching和a teacher usually just定位第三段，首句的尾部说the latter is often all the teacher can do，其中的the latter(后者)指的是keeping a child occupied，与C同义。A是文中的前者。B、D无依据。
61. What do children in hospital usually do in order to catch up with their school work?
? A) They turn to their schoolmates for help. ? B) They contact teachers at their own school. ? C) They rely on their parents for guidance. ? D) They employ hospital teachers as tutors.
这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】 答案:A
[解析] 细节题。根据题干中的children和catch up with their school work查找到第三段倒数第三句。A与原文中的rely on concerned school friends一致，为答案。
62. We can conclude from the passage that the author is ______.
? A) opposed to children receiving education in hospitals ? B) concerned with the present state of hospital teaching
? C) in favor of the efforts schools have made to help their students ? D) more than satisfied with the results of the latest survey 这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】 答案:B
[解析] 观点态度题。本文的主要话题是hospital teaching，文章开头就提到了这种现象不被人了解，然后通过一个survey的调查结果介绍了hospital teaching之不尽如人意，最后还提到了学校对住院学生也不提供什么帮助，因此选B，而非C。A、D不是最核心的问题。 Passage Two
Questions 62 to 56 are based on the following passage.
Jan. 6 issue--The weather outside was icy, but inside, 250 journalists were gathered in a Manhattan office complex to see the latest schemes for rebuilding the World Trade Center site. Last week was the first hope that something good for the city could emerge from September 11. A year ago New York Governor George Pataki established the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation to be responsible for the rebuilding. The agency has bungled the effort more than once. Last summer the public gave its first set of plans a Bronx cheer (嘘声), urging the LMDC to hold an international competition for new designs. From more than 400 applicants, it chose six teams of designers (a seventh firm, LMDC consultants Peterson/Littenberg, was added later). The most futuristic aspects of the schemes are in the skyline--several call for the tallest
buildings in the world. British architect Norman Foster says his finn's two towers \and become one\Richard Meier, Peter Eisenman, Charles Gwathmey and Steven Holl proposes five high- rises, joined by horizontal connectors. All these links were inspired by the need to give multiple exit options.
But more critical--and more likely to become reality than any of these specific towers--is how the various schemes treat the street level and underground. Most, by putting rentable office space up high, were generous with parks and cultural facilities. The teams were told to create sites for a memorial--and several couldn't resist designing one. Libeskind was struck by the \泥浆) walls\堤防) against landfill and an engineering miracle of its time--and he leaves them as a memorial, adding a waterfall and a museum. Foster suggests two memorials in the areas of the Twin Towers' footprints, one for families of victims, the other for the public.
63. The word \
? A) boasted ? B) combined ? C) spared ? D) spoiled
这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】
答案:D
[解析] 语义题。要结合上下文，根据此词出现后的下一句，公众督促国际竞标，可知公众对其一揽子计划并不认可，也就是说该组织以前的努力都弄糟了，故本题答案为D。 64. The international competition for new designs of World Trade Center ______.
? A) satisfied the public with the LMDC efforts and won itself a cheer ? B) has failed to attract any first-class designers so far
? C) was extremely fierce among designers around the globe
? D) brought great hope that the city could emerge from September 11 这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】 答案:C
[解析] 细节题。根据international competition查找到第2段第3句，Bronx cheer为“嘘声”，不是真正的cheer，A错得较明显；B中的fail错；C中的fierce“激烈的”体现在最后一句400多竞争者取6个，为本题答案。D中的great hope夸大其词。
65. The passage is mainly about ______.
? A) LMDC's effort to rebuild the World Trade Center site ? B) the schemes for rebuilding the World Trade Center site ? C) people's hope of having a rebuilt World Trade Center ? D) how to rebuild the World Trade Center in New York 这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】 答案:B
[解析] 主旨题。the schemes for rebuilding the World Trade Center site这个核心短语在文章的第一段就提出，后文频频出现schemes这个字眼，所以本文重点是在介绍这些参加竞选的计划，故答案为B。
66. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
? A) the public actually is not in favor of rebuilding high-rises at the World Trade Center site
? B) in the schemes, the designers try to offer more ways of escaping in case of an emergency
? C) nothing survived the attack to the World Trade Center on September 11 ? D) a seventh firm was chosen in the competition because the public wanted it 这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】 答案:B
[解析] 推断题。分别对四个选项进行定位。文章并未提及the public对于high-rises的态度，故A错；根据倒数第2段最后一句All these links were inspired by the need to give multiple exit options可判断正确答案为B；C、D在文中都没有讲述。
67. According to the passage, the most decisive factor in the competition lies in ______.
? A) how to treat the street level and underground ? B) how to design the links between the high-rises ? C) how to create sites for a memorial ? D) how to build parks and facilities 这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】 答案:A
[解析] 细节题。段落首尾句非常重要，其中含有转折词、特殊标点符号、比较句型的句子更应引起重视，而文章中的最后一段第一句包含了所有这些特征：But more critical…is how
the various schemes treat the street level and underground，正是这句话告诉我们，本题答案为A。 Part Ⅴ Cloze
