  Alaska, which was called Russian America before it was sold to the United States of America,

  joined the union as the forty-ninth state in 1959.

  Alaska is now the largest of all the 50 states of the United States.

  It was in 1867 that President A. Johnson's Secretary of State ( 国务卿 ), Seward bought Alaskafrom the Russians at a cost of 7.2 million. The buying of the huge northern land mass seemed at firstsomething foolishly done. Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in, and itappeared to have no importance in time of war. Besides, there are volcanoes there as Alaska lies onthe Pacific "ring of fire" (火山带). In Alaska large treeless areas are covered with snow all theyear. For these reasons the buying of Alaska was called "Seward's Fooly" at that time.

  However, in 1596 gold was found in Alaska,and people poured into the land quickly. Since thenother important natural resources were discovered, including oil. Soon people changed their thinkingabout "Seward's Fooly". But most people visit Alaska in order to see the endless beauty of naturethat the northern land discloses to them. For instance ,there are about 11,000 islands in Alaska. Andin a certain area of Alaska the sun does not set for 52 days every year.

  根据下面内容,回答题:

  Many people want to know how to analyze problems they meet. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.

  First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken,and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find thereason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, thebrakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specfic.

  Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possi-ble solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is some-thing wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read aboutgears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop.

  After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution.Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be:put oil on the gear wheels;buy new gearwheels and replace the old ones;tighten or loosen the gear wheels.

  Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final ideacomes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a newway. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels.He immediately realizes the solution to his problem:he must clean the gear wheels.

  Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle

  works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.

  52In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except __________ .

  A.recognize and define the problemB.look for information to make the problem clearerC.have suggestions for a possible solutionD.find a solution by trial or mistake

  参考答案:D

  参考解析:

  A项在第二段能够找到;8项在第四段能够找到;C项在倒数第二段能够找到。D项文中没有提到,故符合题意。

  53By referring to Sam's broken bicycle,the author intends to __________ .

  A.illustrate the ways to repair his bicycleB.discuss the problems of this bicycleC.tell us how to solve a problemD.show us how simple it is to repair a bicycle

  参考答案:C

  54As used in the last sentence,the phrase "in short" means __________ .

  A.in the long runB.in detailC.in factD.in a word

  参考答案:D

  参考解析:

  这里应是总结或归纳性质的。in thelong run“就长远来说”;in detail“就细节而言”;infact“事实上”;in a word“简言之,一句话”。D项是正确的。

  55What is the best title for this passage?

  A.Six Stages for Repairing Sam's Bicycle.B.Possible Steps of Problem-solving.C.Necessities of Problem Analysis.D.Importance of Analyzing a Problem.

  参考答案:B
