14．[1]Every language has its own special words and expressions．And a story can be told  about each of them．Hot is a simple，easily understood word．So are most of the expressions  made with the word hot．But not always，as we shall see．
[2]The words hot potato，for example，give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expres． sion，hot potato．The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes．Imagine trying  to carry a hot potato in your hand．It would be difficult，even painful，to do SO．Some publicly argued  problems are highly emotional．The problems must be treated carefully，or they will be difficult and  painful if an elected official has to deal with them．One such hot potato is    taxes．Calling for higher  taxes can mean defeat for a politician．And yet，if taxes are not raised，some very popular governmentprog    rams could be cut．And that also Can make a politician very unpopular．The questions must be dealt with carefully，the same way you would handle any other hot potato．   
[3]Another expression is not SO hot．If you ask someone how she feels，she may answer"not so hot．"What she means is she does not feel well．Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like something．You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot．That means   
[4]A hot shot is a person，often a young person，who thinks he can do anything．He is verysure he can succeed．But often he fails．The expression was born in the military forces．A hotshot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully．  
[5]Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger．A person who becomes angry easily is called a hothead．An angry person'S neck often becomes red．We say he is hot under the collar．
76．What is the text mainly about？（within 8 words）The expressions of"hot"．
77．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence．（within 8 words）you don't consider it a success．
78．Which sentence in the text i s the closest in meaning to the following one？

79．List three situations where"hot"expressions can be used according to the text．（within 30  words）
  ①when you mean something difficult and painful to handle．
  ②when you do not really like something．

解析：
76．答案The expressions of"hot"．主旨大意題．本文主要講述了幾個(gè)和hot有關(guān)的短語，并舉例說明了這些短語的用法．
77．答案you don't consider it a success/you don't like（enjoy） it．推理題．根據(jù)上一行Notso hot also is a way of saying you do not really like something．說明該短語是指不很喜歡某個(gè)東西，如果對(duì)方說昨天晚上的戲劇Not so hot說明他不喜歡這個(gè)戲�。�
78．答案The questions must be dealt with carefully，the same way you would handle any other hot potato．細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第二段最后一句The questions must be dealt with carefully，the same way you would handle any other hot potato．hot potato相當(dāng)于difficult problem難題．
79．答案①when you mean something difficult and painful to handle
②when you do not really like something
③when you mean a person who becomes angry easily
細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)文章theywill be difficult and painful if an elected official has to deal with them．和Not so hotalso is a way of saying you do not really like something
以及A person whobecomes angry easily is called a hothead．
80．答案：這些問題必須認(rèn)真對(duì)待，否則，當(dāng)選官員處理起來會(huì)很棘手．考查英譯漢．本題的根據(jù)在于句子的dealwith處理，以及句子結(jié)構(gòu)要理清楚．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文要求考生在閱讀理解整體語篇的基礎(chǔ)上，把握文章的真正內(nèi)涵．要吃透文章的字面意思，從字里行間捕捉有用的提示和線索，這是推理的前提和基礎(chǔ)；要對(duì)文字的表面信息進(jìn)行挖掘加工，由表入里，由淺入深，從具體到抽象，從非凡到一般，通過分析、綜合、判定等，進(jìn)行深層處理，符合邏輯地推理．

2．Frogs，toads and salamanders usually make us think of green，slimy little monsters．These monsters actually belong to a very special class of animals called the amphibians．Amphibians can live both on land and in the water．They commonly inhabit ponds，rivers，marshes and other wetlands．
Today，amphibians are becoming extinct very quickly from all the six continents where they are found．More than 25countries are reporting sharp drops in the populations of amphibians．In some places，embryos （胚胎） are dying； in others，adults are missing．Why are they dying off？
Scientists blame human interference．Industrial waste and toxic gases given out by factories，manufacturing plants and cars are steadily poisoning the breeding grounds of amphibians．Chemicals such as sulphur dioxide rise high into the atmosphere and mix with rain．This makes the rain acidic and thus kills off delicate amphibian embryos．
More rare species of amphibians are already gone．Costa Rica's Golden toads have not been seen since 1989．The Australian Gastric Brooding frogs are extinct．Leopard frog numbers are dropping in the Rocky Mountains．Leopard frogs live in the wetland regions in these areas．The wetlands are being drained to make way for highways，industry and new housing．
Another threat to the amphibians is the increased ultraviolet radiation．Ultraviolet rays come from the sun and are extremely harmful to living things．They can cause skin cancer in humans．Luckily for us，ultraviolet rays are blocked by a thick layer of ozone above the earth's atmosphere．Ozone is a special kind of oxygen which absorbs ultraviolet radiation．Now，the ozone layer is being destroyed by chemicals called CFC's which are given off by factories．A hole in the ozone layer was discovered over Antarctica in the late 1980's．As a result，more ultraviolet rays are reaching the earth and more amphibians are dying．
Just as the emergence of new infectious diseases such as Bird Flu are a threat to human and animal populations across the world，amphibian species are also facing their most significant threat from a little understood disease．A chytrid fungus is understood to be of the major causes of frog death across the world．
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS）

81．The sharp drops in the populations ofamphibians from over 25 countriesindicate that amphibians are dying out quickly．
82．What's the destructive force of acid rain？It kills off delicate amphibian embryos．．
83．The ozone layer protects people byabsorbing/blocking the （harmful） ultravioletradiation．
84．List at least two major factors that lead to the extinction of amphibians．Human interference，increased ultravioletradiation and new infectious diseases．

4．You have probably heard of the Mozart effect，It's the idea that if children or even babies，listen to music composed by Mozart they will become more intelligent，A quick Internet search says plenty of products to assist you in the task．Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart's music，but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever，the picture is more mixed．
The phrase"the Mozart effect"was made up in 1991，but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature，The media and the public showed great interest in the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain．It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable，Mo-zart was undoubtedly a genius himself，his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it，we'll become more intelligent．
The idea took off，with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children，In 1998Zell Miller，the Governot of the state of Georgia in the US，even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music，It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozart's music on purpose，Even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk．
I'll leaver the debate about Mozart effect on cows to farmers，but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent？More research was carried out but and analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally，but the benefits are shor-lived and it doesn't make us more intelligent．

46、What can we learn from paragraph 1？D
A、Mozart composed many musical pieces for children
B、Children listening to Mozars will be more intelligent
C、There are few products on the Internet about Mozart's music
D、There is little scientific evidence to support Mozart effect
47、Why did many people believe in the idea of Mozart Effect？B
A、Because a study described it in the journal Nature
B、Because Mozart himself was a genius
C、Because Mozart's music is enjoyable
D、Because Mozart's music makes people relaxed
48、the underlined sentence in paragraph3suggests thatB
A、people were strongly against the idea
B、the idea was accepted by many people
C、Mozart played an important part in people's life
D、the US government helped promote the idea
49、What is the author's attitude towards the Mozart effect？C
A、Favorable  B、Objective  C、Doubtful  D、Positive
50、What would be the best title for the passage？A
A、Listening to Mozart，necessary？
B、What music is beneficial？
C、What is the Mozart effect？
D、To be or not to be？
