Part Ⅱ
Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids ( 小行星 ) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.
Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids( 流星 ) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don ' t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.Buy $ 50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we ' ll have a way to change its course.
Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn ' t be cheap.
Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How had the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500, 000 years. Sounds pretty rare — but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “ If we don ' t take care of these big asteroids, they ' ll take of us, ” says one scientist “ It ' s that simple ” .
The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “ The world has less to fear from doomsday( 毁灭性的 ) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them, ” said a New York Times article.
21.What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?
A) They are heavenly bodies different in composition.
B) They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.
C) There are more asteroids than meteoroids.
D) Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.
22.What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?
A) It is very unlikely but the danger exists.
B) Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.
C) Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.
D) It ' s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.
23. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids?
A) It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.
B) It may create more problems than it might solve.
C) It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.
D) Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.
24. We can conclude from the passage that____.
A) while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world
B) asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future
C) the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime
D) workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth
25. Which of the following best describes the author ' s tone in this passage?
A) Optimistic. B) Critical. C) Objective. D) Arbitrary.
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
Believe it or not, optical illusion( 错觉 )can cut highway crashes.
Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons ( 人字形 ), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C is planning to repeat Japan ' s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.
Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest —— curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
26.The passage mainly discusses____.
A) a new way of highway speed controlB) a new pattern for painting highways
C) a new approach to training driversD) a new type of optical illusion
27.On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that____.
A) they should avoid speed-related hazardsB) they are driving in the wrong lane
C) they should slow down their speedD) they are approaching the speed limit
28.The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former____.
A) can keep drivers awakeB) can cut road accidents in half
C) will have a longer effect on driversD) will look more attractive
29.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to____.
A) try out the Japanese method in certain areas
B) change the road sings across the country
C) replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons
D) repeat the Japanese road patterns
30.What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?
A) They are falling out of use in the United States.
B) They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.
C) They are applicable only on broad roads.
D) They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Amtrak( 美国铁路客运公司 )was experiencing a downswing in ridership( 客运量 ) along the lines comprising its rail system. Of major concern to Amtrak and its advertising agency DDB Needham, were the long-distance western routes where ridership had been declining significantly.
At one time, trains were the only practical way to cross the vast areas of the west. Trains were fast, very luxurious, and quite convenient compared to other forms of transportation existing at the time. However, times change and the automobile became America ' s standard of convenience. Also, air travel had easily established itself as the fastest method of traveling great distances. Therefore, the task for DDB Needham was to encourage consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to change their attitudes and increase the likelihood that trains would be considered for travel in the west.
Two portions of the total market were targeted:l ) anxious fliers — those concerned with safety, relaxation, and cleanliness and 2)travel-lovers — those viewing themselves as relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel experience as part of their vacation. The agency then developed a campaign that focused on travel experiences such as freedom, escape, relaxation, and enjoyment of the great western outdoors. It stressed experiences gained by using the trains and portrayed western outdoors. It stressed experiences gained by using the trains and portrayed western train trips as wonderful adventures.
Advertisements showed pictures of the beautiful scenery that could be enjoyed along some of the more famous western routes and emphasized the romantic names of some of these trains (Empire Builder, etc.) These ads were strategically placed among family-oriented TV shows and programs involving nature and America in order to mast effectively reach target audiences. Results were impressive. The Empire Builder, which was focused on in one ad, enjoyed a 15 percent increase in profits on its Chicago to Seattle route.
31.What ' s the author ' s purpose in writing this passage?
A)To show the inability of trains to compete with planes with respect to speed and convenience.
B) To stress the influence of the automobile on America ' s standard of convenience.
C) To emphasize the function of travel agencies in market promotion.
D) To illustrate the important role of persuasive communication in changing consumer attitudes.
32.It can be inferred from the passage that the drop in Amtrak ridership was due to the fact that____.
A) trains were not suitable for short distance passenger transportation
B) trains were not the fastest and most convenient form of transportation
C) trains were not as fast and convenient as they used to be
D) trains could not compete with planes in terms of luxury and convenience
33.To encourage consumers to travel by train, DDB Needham emphasized____.
A) the freedom and convenience provided on trains
B) the practical aspects of train travel
C) the adventurous aspects of train trips
D) the safety and cleanliness of train trips
34.The train ads were placed among family-oriented TV programs involving nature and America because____.
A) they could focus on meaningful travel experiences
B) they could increase the effectiveness of TV programs
C) their profits could be increased by some 15 percent
D) most travel-lovers and nervous fliers were believed to be among the audiences
35.According to the passage, the Empire Builder enjoyed an increase in ridership and profits because____.
A) the attractiveness of its name and route was effectively advertised
B) it provided an exciting travel experience
C) its passengers could enjoy the great western outdoors
D) it was widely advertised in newspapers and magazines in Chicago and Seattle
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Why does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition —— a finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives. Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much faster has been a mystery. Both are emulsions —— tiny globules( 小球体 )of one liquid evenly distributed throughout another. The difference lies in what ' s in the globules and what ' s in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation.
In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the mixture. “ This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture, ” he says.
When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are locked away in compartments( 隔仓室 )buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients( 养料 ). They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products. “ In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing, ” says Brocklehurst.
The researchers are already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the food ' s structure. Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter. The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid lump.
36.The significance of Brocklehurst ' s research is that____.
A) it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservatives
B) it discovered tiny globules in both cream and butter
C) it revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butter
D) it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition
37.According to the researchers, cream sours faster than butter because bacteria____.
A) are more evenly distributed in cream
B) multiply more easily in cream than in butter
C) live on less fat in cream than in butter
D) produce less waste in cream than in butter.
38.According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by____.
A) removing its fatB) killing the bacteria
C) reducing its water contentD) altering its structure.
39. The word “ colonies ” (Line 2, Para. 4) refers to____.
A) tiny globulesB) watery regions C) bacteria communitiesD) little compartments
40.Commercial application of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made resistant to bacterial attack____.
A) by varying its chemical composition
B) by turning it into a solid lump
C) while keeping its structure unchanged
D) while retaining its liquid form

Passage One
Paul, a salesman from London , was driving past a sports car parked outside a supermarket when he saw it start to roll slowly down the hill. Inside the car were two young girls on the passenger seat but no driver. Paul stopped quickly, jumped in front of the sports car and tried to stop it, pushing against the front of the car. Another man, who was standing nearby, got into the car and put on the hand brake, saving the girls from injury. It was at this point that Paul noticed his own car rolling slowly down the hill and going too fast for him to stop it. It crashed into a bus at the bottom of the hill and was so badly damaged that it had to be pulled away to a garage. As if this was not bad enough, Paul now found he had no one to blame.

Unfortunately, I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vernon was going to return. What was worse: It was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found that the key Vernon gave me could not unlock either the front door or the back door. I was getting desperate. I kept thinking of what Vernon would say when he came back. I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed it under the window. As the barrel was very heavy I made a lot of noise. But in the end I managed to climb up and open the window. I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone was shining a torch up at me.I looked down and saw a police man and an old lady, one of Vernon ' s neighbours.

Passage Three
When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War, scientists feared an environmental disaster. Would black powder and the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun? Many said “ No way ” . Rain would wash the black powder from the atmosphere. But in America , air sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles, similar to those collected in Kuwait . Now that the fires are out, scientists are turning their attention to yet another threat: the oil that didn ' t catch fire. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwait Desert . They trap insects and birds and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants. The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources. So far, the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface.
Nothing, however, stops the oil from evaporating. The resulting poisonous gas is choking nearby residents. Officials are trying to organize a quick clean-up but they are not sure how to do it. One possibility is to burn the oil. Get those black powder detectors ready!

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Passage One
【短文大意】这是一篇说明文。文章第一段到第四段的内容是，众多的小行星有可能与地球相撞以及我们应采取的措施：投入大量的资金，买新的望远镜探测星体的位置；一旦发现有威胁的星体，用核武器使之偏离其轨道。第五段讲到专家们考虑的是其发生的可能性和后果。他们认为虽然小行星与地球相撞的可能性很小——每 50 万年一次，但一旦发生了便是世界末日。第六段表达了作者的看法：全世界更害怕的是大量的核武器舰队，而不是毁灭性的星体。
21 ． B 推理题。根据文章第二段的第一句的内容：小行星是指那些划过夜空的比较大的流星，我们可作出选择，即 B) 。（小行星和流星是本质相似的天体。）
22 ． A 推理题。文章的第五段的后三句说到：专家们认为虽然小行星与地球相撞的可能性很小——每 50 万年一次，但一旦发生了便是世界末日。有一位科学家说，如果我们不注意它们（小行星），它们就会注意（袭击）我们，事情就是那么简单。由此可知， A) 是正确的。
23 ． B 推理题。依据是文中的最后一段的内容： The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. ( 治疗方法比疾病本身还糟糕。 ) the cure 暗指用核武器来改变小行星轨道的办法， the disease 则指的是小行星可能会与地球相撞的危机。后文进一步指出全世界更害怕的是大量的核武器舰队，而不是毁灭性的星体。所以 B) 是对的。
24 ． D 推理题。既然用核武器来改变小行星的轨道这一方法行不通 , 我们当然要去寻找更合理的解决办法 , 即 D) 。
25 ． C 主旨题。从整体来看，作者很客观地说明了存在的问题和大家对其的态度，故作者的语气是客观的 , 即 C)Objective 。其它选项， B)Critical （批评的） ;D)Arbitrary （武断的） ;A)Optimistic （乐观的） , 均不合题意。
Passage Two
【短文大意】这是一篇说明文。介绍了一种利用视觉错觉来减少交通事故的新型方法。具体就是在公路上画人字形的弯曲条线，使驾驶员误认为自己驾车速度比实际要高从而放慢速度。这种新方法在日本使用效果显著，如今总部设在华盛顿的美国汽车协会交通安全基金会也计划于次年开始仿效日本的做法。
26.A 主旨大意题。线索在第一段 cut highway crashes ；第二段里 Japan 和 America 两个例子；最后一句中 a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents 。
27.C 细节判断题。线索在第二段第二句中 ...make drivers think they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down 。意思是“…使司机觉得开得过快，于是慢下来。”
28.C 细节判断题。线索在文章最后几句中的 However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars （可是一旦司机熟悉了这种横向刷在路上的直条，几个月内他们就又会恢复开快车的习惯）和 The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents( 〈对于 chevrons 来说〉，结果就是车速降低、车祸减少现象持续的时间要长一些。 )
29.A 细节判断题。线索除了第二段的 repeat Japan ' s success 之外，还有 ... will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads to test ... 。其中 chevrons 是日本的，而 other patterns of stripes 不一定全是日本的，所以选项 D) 的说法错。又选项 A) 中 try out 的意思等于 test ，故 A) 对。
30.B 细节判断题。原文中作者对 straight, horizontal bars 的描述句为 However, traffic often ... to seeing the painted bars, 意思是几个月后人们又复原到以全速开车，即人们很快就忽视了这种笔直的横线（参见第 28 题分析）。
Passage Three
【短文大意】本文是一篇说明文。美国铁路客运公司的客运量一度滑坡，特别是西部线路客运量下降厉害。这有其客观的原因：和其它交通工具相比，火车不再是很方便、舒适、快速的交通工具，汽车已成为标准的交通工具，飞机轻易地就确立了其长途旅行速度最快的首席地位。为了解决这个问题，特别是西线客运量下降的问题，美国铁路客运公司及其广告部门在两类人身上下功夫：一类是害怕坐飞机的人；一类是旅游爱好者。他们大造声势利用以家庭为演播对象的节目、有关自然和美国的节目来宣扬乘火车旅行具有自由、脱俗、消闲的乐趣，可充分享受西部线路沿线的美景，结果影响了人们对交通工具的选择，使其客运量大有增加。
31 ． D 主旨题。文章第一、二段提出并分析美国铁路客运存在的问题及铁路广告公司必须要做的工作，第三、四段介绍了广告公司的一些具体做法及成效。 A ）， B ）所示内容在文中略有提及，都是为表示铁路客运的窘境服务的，文中未论及选项 C 的内容。为此，考生通过思考可猜测这部分文章可能选自有关广告方面的文章，讲述的是一个利用广告成功地提高经济效益的事例。因此应选 D) 项。
32 ． B 细节推理题。文中根本未谈及长、短距离客运的事，也就推断不出 A ）来。 C ）是混淆视听的一个选项。确实火车没有以往有竞争力了，但并不是因为它速度比过去慢了和不及原来便利了，而是因为其它交通工具的竞争力增强了。所以 C ）也不为正确推论。飞机是以速度占优势的，因此 D ）是与事实相悖的推理。在阅读中，考生曾读到： However, times change and the automobile became America ' s standard of convenience. Also, air travel had easily established itself as the fastest method of traveling great distances. 根据这两句话我们可得出 B) 项的推论，所以 B) 为正确答案。
33 ． C 细节判断题。 A ）中 convenience 不是广告中宣传的火车特点。为了鼓动游客多乘火车，广告公司更多地是宣传火车沿途的西部风光，乘火车旅行的感受，而不是旅行的适用价值。文中曾含蓄地提到了火车具有安全和干净的特点，但只是间接的，不是强调地提出（ emphasized ）。因此看来， A ）， B ）， D ）均不是正确选项， C ）为正确选择，且可在第三段最后一句找到依据。
34 ． D 细节推断题。从文中第四段可读到： These ads were strategically placed among family-oriented TV shows and programs involving nature and America in order to most effectively reach target audiences. 为什么火车广告要放在这些电视节目中，因为是想最有效地向目标观众进行宣传。言外之意爱好旅游的人和怕乘飞机者会在这些节目的观众之中。因此 D) 为正确选项。
35 ． A 细节判断题。文章第四段第一句写道： Advertisements showed pictures of the beautiful scenery that could be enjoyed along some of the more famous western routes and emphasized the romantic names of some of these trains (Empire Builder, etc). 由此可看到 A) 为正确答案。请考生别忘了这是一篇关于广告作用的文章，讲述了一个广告宣传成功的事例。 B ）， C ）所讲原因都不太确切，而 D ）断章取义地将广告进行宣传的范围篡改了。
Passage Four
【短文大意】这是一篇说明文。第一段是主题段，提出了要说明的主题：为什么奶油比黄油容易变坏？答案在于它们的结构而不是其化学成分。还说到了这一发现可能使一些加工食品不再需要化学防腐剂。第二、三、四段说到奶油与黄油所含物质基本相同，不同点在于前者是水包油（脂肪颗粒悬浮与水中），而后者是油包水（水溶液颗粒浸在脂肪中）。致使食物变坏的细菌很易在有水的环境里生存，所以细菌在奶油中自由地生长；相反，在黄油中则存在一个阻碍其繁殖的系统。第五段说到研究人员正致力于通过改变食物的结构而防止食物变质。
36 ． A 细节题。根据第一段的第二句的后半部分：这一发现可能使一些加工食品不再需要化学防腐剂，可知答案为 A) 。
37 ． B 推理题。根据第二、三段的内容（参见内容梗概），可知奶油之所以比黄油容易变坏，是因为细菌更易在奶油中繁殖。即 B) 。
38 ． D 细节题。根据最后一段的第一句：研究人员……（参见内容梗概），可知答案为 D) 。
39 ． C 猜测词义题。 colony 的基本含义是“殖民者”，其所在的句子意为：……细菌被油脂隔离，个别的细菌群不能繁殖，且迅速用光其自身的养料……，由此可知， C) 是正确答案。
40 ． D 推理题。依据是最后一段的最后一句： Brocklehurst 认为这一发现将起作用，如果使沙拉酱的乳状液象黄油的一样，那么沙拉酱将保持液态而不是块状的固体。故答案为 D) 。
Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure
41 ． A 她不得不停止工作，一直看了太长时间的书 , 她的头很疼。测试点是时态。 have been doing 表示在一段时间内无停顿地、一直在做某事 , 故 A) 项符合句意。如： He had been reading the book all the morning.( 整个上午他一直在看这本书。 )
42 ． B 尼加拉瓜瀑布是一大旅游胜地，每年吸引上百万的游客。名词辨析题。 tourist attraction 表示旅游胜地。其它选项 D)arrangement( 安排 ),A)attention( 注意力 ),C)appointment( 任命 ) 均不合句意。
43 ． B 只要不是太迟，我不介意你晚些做出决定。考点是非谓语动词。 mind 和 delay 后接 V-ing 的形式。当 V-ing 分词只有一个逻辑主语且此主语是代词时，需用其主格；而不止一个逻辑主语时需用其宾格。试比较下面两个句子： My parents disapproved of my going out at night. （我的父母不赞成我晚上出去。） My parents disapproved of Tom and me going out. （我的父母不赞成我和汤姆晚上出去。）
44 ． D 男人和女人，富人和穷人，他们的希望、目标、忧虑和需求是大不一样的。近义动词的辨析。 vary 意为“不同的”，符合句意。而 transfer 意为“移动，转移；调动；换车”， alter 意为“更改，变更”， shift 意为“变换；轮换，轮班”。例如： The age of the students varies from 17 to 20. （学生的年龄从 17 — 20 岁不等。） The head office has transferred from York to London.( 总部已由约克移至伦敦。 )These clothes are too large;they must be altered.( 这些衣服太大，必须加以修改。 )The wind has shifted to the north.( 风转向北吹。 )
45 ． A 玉米原产于新大陆。在哥伦布发现它培植于古巴之前，欧洲人对它一无所知。考点是非谓语动词。根据句意， it(corn) 和 cultivate 之间是被动关系，且 found 和 being cultivate 两个动作是同时发生的，故选用 A) 。如： found him reading （发现他在看书）； found trees cut （发现树被砍了）； found the computer being used （发现电脑正被使用）。
46 ． C 买卖常在房子外面进行，观众们则坐在长凳上、椅子上或箱子上。考点是非谓语动词。后半句是由 with 引导的独立主格结构，在全句中作状语成份。 seat 的用法是 seat sb. /seat oneself in, 与 the audience 之间为被动关系，故 C) 是正确的。如： He was seated between the guests. （他坐在客人中间。）又如： With the question settled, they are happy and relaxed. （问题解决了，他们又高兴又轻松。）
47 ． B 这种由经验丰富的工匠制作的眼镜戴起来很舒适。考点是语态。正如本句中的 wear ，有些动词的主动语态可表示被动意义，这类动词还有： act, clean, cook, draw, iron, keep, read, sell, wash 等。如： In summer meat won ' t keep long. （夏天肉不能久放。） The kind of cloth washes well. （这种布很好洗。）
48 ． D 有些疾病是通过某些水生动物传播的。词义辨析题。 A ） transplant 意为“移植、移栽”。如： Mary transplanted the rose into a larger pot （玛丽把那株玫瑰移栽到一只大一点的花盆里）。 B ） transform 表示 “变换、转换”，指从外观、形式以及性质上发生了根本性的变化。如： To transform electrical energy into light or heat （把电能转化为光或热）。 C ） transport 意为“运输”。 D)transmit 表示“传播、传送”，指强调一种设备或其他媒介物的传导、输送能力。如： A telegram will be the quickest way to transmit the message （电报是传递消息最迅速的方法。）再如： Mosquitoes transmit disease to patients （蚊子把疾病传给病人），故为正确答案。
49 ． B 难道你不愿让你的孩子早点上床睡觉？测试点为虚拟语气。 would rather 表示“宁愿……”，当后面接从句时，用虚拟语气。本句是对现在表示虚拟，应用过去时，故 B) 是正确答案。类似的短语有 would as soon,would sooner,would just as soon 。如： I would just as soon she were not here.
50 ． B 尽管安妮对于自己的成功感到满意，但她不知道对她个人生活会产生什么影响。本题考核代词的用法。本句是一个让步状语从句，其主句中 wonder 后又接宾语从句，所接疑问词应是 what, how,where, when 等。因此答案 B) 符合句意。
51 ． C 他以前的老师说的话给他留下了永久的印象。这些话至今还对他产生影响。测试点为单词辨义。 C) lasting 意为“永久的、持续的”，结合句意，应选择 C) 项。 B ） lively 意为“充满活力的，栩栩如生的”，如 Jane is a bright and lively child. （珍妮是一个聪明活泼的孩子。）其余两项均为一般考题。
52 ． D 迈克的叔叔坚持不让他住在这家旅馆里。测试点为虚拟语气。 insist 意为“强调、坚持”，当接从句时，其谓语动词应用虚拟语气，即 “ should + 动词原形”，此时 should 可省略。（有关详细用法，参照前面的虚拟语气）。
53 ． D 我们一致同意接受他们（所）认为（的）是最好的导游。测试点为语法题。根据 the best tourist guide 推断，填入空格的词应是代表人的代词，而且必须作从句的主语，因此答案是 D ） whoever, 可理解为 a person who 。其余均不合题意。
54 ． A 通过和平手段实现统一是我们的一贯政策。本题为形容词辩义。 A ） consistent 意为 “一贯的、前后一致的”，故为正确答案。 B ） continuous 表示“持续不断的”，可理解为 going on without stopping or being interrupted, 如 : The brain needs a continuous supply of blood. C) considerate 表示“考虑周到的，体贴的”，如： We should be considerate of the comfort of old people （我们应该考虑老人的舒适状况。） D ） continual 意为“多次重复的，不停的”，如： I ' m tired of this continual rain. （不停地下雨，我觉得厌烦。）
55 ． A 1974 年至 1997 年间，海外游人的数目增加了百分之二十七。测试点为介词 by 与数量词连用时的用法。介词 by 引导表示增加、减少、相差多少的量。例如： Their wages had gone down by a full third in the past two years. （过去两年中他们的工资收入足足下降了三分之一。）
56 ． C 尽管许多人认为有冲突不是一件好事，但有时它却可起到好的作用，因为它可以迫使人们去检查一下自身的态度或行为曲直。测试点为连接词的使用，需要选用一个连接词来表示 useful 的原因。只有选项 C) 中词组 in that 意思为“因为……，因……的缘故，因……的理由，在……方面”，可引导表示原因的从句。例如： Criticism and self-criticism is necessary in that it helps us to correct our mistakes. （批评与自我批评是必要的，因为能帮助我们改正错误。）
57 ． A 他对明年在奥林匹克运动会上获得金牌的可能性持乐观态度。测试点为形容词意义的辨认和介词的搭配。 optimistic 意为“乐观的、令人乐观的”，可与介词 about 连用，意为“对 ... 持乐观态度”。例如： The stockholders are optimistic about the company ' s future. （股东们对公司的未来持乐观的态度。） optional 意思为“可任意选择的、非强制性的”，可用介词 with 引导 optional 的逻辑主语。例如： It is optional with the writer to make it short or long. （长短随着作者的意思。）。 outstanding 意思为“突出的、杰出的、显著的”，可用介词 at 表示在什么上很出色。例如： he was outstanding at tennis. （他网球打得很出色。）。 obvious 意为“明显的、显而易见的”，可用介词 in 接在其后，表示在什么方面。例如： He was very obvious in his distrust of us. （他对我们不信任他这一点是非常清楚的。）。因此，纵观以上分析，只能选择 A) 。
58 ． B 有时我真希望自己生活在另一个时代另一个地方。测试点为虚拟语气的用法。动词 wish 通常接 that 引导的宾语从句，表示与实际相反或不切实际的愿望。这时从句中的谓语动词要用虚拟语气，须用动词的过去式表示。例如： I wish I were back home; I don ' t like this place. （我真想回到家里了，我一点都不喜欢这个地方。） I wish that I hadn ' t met him yesterday. （我真希望昨天没有碰到他。）
59 ． C 主任对我们的工作方式很挑剔。测试点为形容词 critical 的介词搭配。此题中四个介词，只有 of 可与 critical 搭配，意为：“对 ...... 爱挑剔的，爱挑毛病的“。例如： Don ' t be so critical of everyone else. （不要总是挑剔别人。） If you really understand the difficulties facing the government ， you wouldn ' t be so critical of its spending reductions. （ 如果你真的了解了政府所面临的困难，你就不会如此批评政府缩减支出。）
60 ． B 在勃然大怒之下，那男人把所有能拿到手的东西都撕了。测试点为词意辨认和搭配。 A)attack 可以解释为“发作”，但通常指疾病的发作。例如： Just then he was seized with a violent attack of dysentery. （正是那个时候他得了痢疾，发作得很厉害。） B)burst 意为“突然一阵，一阵迸发”，可用于表示突发的大笑、语言， a burst of laughter/speech ；爆发的速度 a burst of speed ；一阵（火）光， a burst of light 等。 C)split 意为“分裂，裂口”，与本题句子的意义相去甚远。 D)blast 意为“一阵（风）、一股（强而突然的气流）、冲击波”，常和“气”、“风”搭配在一起使用。例如： There comes a blast of wind. （来一阵狂风。） We have heard a loud blast of a steamer ' s whistle. （我们已经听到汽船的汽笛狂叫声。）因此，在四个选项中 B 为最恰当的选择。
61 ． D 直到天黑了，她才意识到时间太晚了，她回不了家了。测试点为 It is/was ... that... 及 No sooner... than... ， Hardly/scarcely...when... 句型的应用。在本题的四个选项中， A ）没有倒装，排除。 B ）和 C ）在句型搭配上有错误，应分别为 Hardly... when... ， scarcely... when... ，所以选项 B) 和 C) 也应排除。 D) 项是正确的选项，是强调句型的主干部分，强调时间。同样的例子还有： It was only lately that he had had a family himself. （直到最近他才有了自己的家。） It ' s when he ' s out of work that he ' s so violent. （他只是在失业时才会这样粗暴。）
62 ． C 在英国，人们每年要消耗 400 万吨土豆。测试点是动词辨义。 A ） swallow 表示“吞咽、淹没”，如 :Chew your food properly before swallowing it. （把食物嚼碎后再咽下）； B ） dispose 意思是：“处理、安排”，常与 of 搭配，表示“处理；除掉”如： The wastes must be disposed of in a way that will not damage the environment （废物必须用一种不危及环境的方式加以处理。）再如： All the furniture has been disposed of.( 所有的家具都已处理掉了）； D ） exhaust 表示“用尽、耗尽、使筋疲力尽”，常说： exhaust one ' s patience （使某人忍无可忍）， exhaust one ' s strength ( 用尽力气），再如 : After working for eight hours without any rest,the doctors were exhausted ( 经过八个小时不停地工作，医生们已筋疲力尽了。 ) 当与食物类连用时，强调的是“消耗殆尽”，相当于 use up completely.C)consume 竟为“消耗、消费”，可以表示“吃、喝”。如： Mary would consume nearly a pound of cheese per day （玛丽一天差不多要吃 一磅 乳酪。）其常用词组为 be consumed with (by)( 被某种感情吞噬 ) 。故Ｃ ) 为正确答案。
63 ． A 我要考虑他在本社区其他农场主和商界人士中的声誉，然后再决定是否同意贷款。测试点是动词短语。 A)take into account 意为“考虑、斟酌”，可理解为 take into consideration, 如： We must take water pollution into account （我们必须考虑水污染问题，）因此 A ）是正确答案。 B) account for 表示“说明……的原因；”。如： Can you account for the traffic accident? （你能解释这次交通事故的原因吗？）再如： Computer software accounts for some 70 per cent of our range of products （计算机软件占我们整个产品的百分之七十。）Ｃ） make up for 表示“补偿、弥补”，如： she made up for the lesson she had missed yesterday.D)make out 意是“看出，理解；证明”，如： Can you make out what he is trying to say ? （你能弄清楚他想说什么吗？）。
64 ． D 这些申请表要尽快交回来，这很有必要。测试点是虚拟语气。由 it is essential that 引出的主语从句，其谓语用虚拟语气，即“ should + 动词原形”（或 should 也可省略）。类似的还有 it is necessary that, it is important that, it is vital that 等。例如： It is vital everyone (should) have his say （人人都有发言权是至关重要的。）故答案是 D) 。
65 ． D 她把肉煮了很长时间，以便肉变得易嚼下咽。测试点是形容词辩义。 A)mild 表示“温驯的”； B ） slight 表示“轻微的”； C ） light 意思为“轻的”； D ） tender 表示“柔嫩的，（肉等）嫩的，易咀嚼的”，因此是正确答案。
66 ． A 我们对自己的皮肤直到烧伤无法治愈时，才知道要去珍惜。测试点是介词与名词搭配。 A ） beyond 表示“超出……”，与 repair 一起构成介词短语，表示“无法修复”的意思。如 This colour TV set is beyond repair. （这台彩电没法修了。）所以 A) 是正确答案，其余三项与句意不合。
67 ． C 计算机革命很可能像工业革命一样使社会发生根本的变化。测试点是副词辨义。 A ） certainly 表示“当然地”， B ） insignificantly 表示“无足轻重地”， D ） comparatively 意为“相对地，比较地”，均与句意不合，只有 C ） fundamentally 意为“根本地”，符合句意，是正确答案。
68 ． C 从这种角度来看，形势似乎不至于令人失望。测试点是非谓语动词。 C ）项 looked at 是分词独立结构，表示被动意义，作状语，由于句中主语 the situation 是它的动作对象，所以要用过去分词。例如 Encouraged by the success, the manager decided to expand his business. （在这种成绩的鼓舞下，这位经理决定扩大经营。）
69 ． A 我的厨房里总是有许多蚂蚁进来，它们是非常令人讨厌的东西。测试点是名词辨义， A ） nuisance 表示“讨厌的东西（或行为、人）”，是正确的答案。如： The mosquitoes are a nuisance. （蚊子是讨厌的东西。）
70 ． D 一些妇女若不呆在家里而出去工作本来可以得到可观的薪水，但她们为了照顾家庭，才决定不去工作。本题考核情态动词的用法。情态动词 + 动词的完成式表示“过去可以做到而实际未做的动作”。如： We could have started a little earlier （我们本可以早一点动身）。所以， D) 是本题的答案。而 B ） should have made 表示“过去应该做到而实际又未做的动作”，因此这和本句意思不合。例如： He should have stopped his car at the red light. （他见到红灯本应停车。）
Part Ⅳ Cloze
71.C 本题为近义词辨析。短文中第一句提到，在 2000 多名被调查的成年人当中有 21% 的人认为太阳围绕地球转，还有 7% 的人不知道哪个围绕哪个转。显然，第二句 7% 的人是 21% 之外的人数。故 C ) additional （另外的）为正确答案。 extra 表示“额外的” ;excessive 表示“过多的” ;added 表示“增加的” , 均与题意不符。
72.B 本题要求考生正确选择作宾格的代词，意思是有 7% 的人不知道到底是哪个绕着哪个转，因此 B ) which 是正确答案。
73.A 本题为词义辨析。 virtually 表示“几乎，事实上”，与句意相符。
74.C 本题为动词选用。根据地点状语 in school 可推断，所有的人上学时曾被教过地球围绕太阳转这一事实， learn 一般不用被动形式 , 与句意不符，所以 C ）为正确答案。
75.D 本题要求根据上下文选用恰当的代词，答案 D ） they 是人称代词，代替前面的 all of these people 。
76.A 本题测试考生正确使用介词的能力。 test 前一般用介词 on 搭配，表示“在测试中”。
77.B 本题为动词辨析，根据句意应填入一个表示“改变，修正”之意的词，故 B ）为最佳答案。
78.C 此处应填“ motion ”，表示行星的运行。 A ） operation 表示“操作”， B ） position 为“位置”， D ） location 表示“地点，方位”，都与句意不符。
79.D 此句 support 后是一个宾语从句，要求填入一个作从句中宾语的关系代词，答案 D ） what 指“他们老师曾告诉他们的”。
80.B 本题测试考生正确使用介词的能力。句意是“太阳横过天空移动”，答案 B ） across 表示“横过，穿绕”，其余三个介词都不是正确的搭配。
81.C 句意是“正当这种情况发生时，地球似乎静止不动”。故 C ） while 表示“正当”，意思才通顺。
82.B learn … by heart 为固定搭配，意指“记住，背下”，其余三项与 heart 都不是正确的搭配。
83.A combine … with 为固定搭配，表示“把……与……联系起来”，与题意相符。其余三项与 combine 都不是正确的搭配。
84.D 本句意思是“教师所接受的符合客观事实的正确答案和学生个人对世界的理解可以共存，互不干扰”，因此 D ） student ' s 与“教师”一词相对应，故为正确答案。
85.A 本题为动词词义辨析。从上句译文可见，本题的意思应当与“相互共存”一致。选项 A ） exist 表示“存在”，与题意相符，故为正确。
86.C 本句意思是“在课外，学生会一直使用自己的模式”。从上一段可以看到，学生个人对世界的理解与教师的观点共存，显然，这里的“模式”是指学生个人的模式，因此 C ） personal 是答案。
87.A in that circumstance 为固定搭配，表示“在那种情况下”，故 A ） in 是正确答案。
88.D 本题为形容词辨义，原文意思是“除非老师指出学生个人思维模式具体错误所在”，在四个选项中，只有 D ） specific 有“具体的”意思，符合题意。
89.B be not likely to 是一般词组，表示“不太可能，” 故应选 B ）； C ）项 probable 虽有“可能的”之意，但一般作定词或表语，不用于词组表示“可能的。”
90.D 本句意思是“除非老师指出学生个人关于世界的思维模式中具体的错误所在，否则学生不太可能用正确的模式去取代错误的模式”，显然， D ） correct 意为“正确的”，与前句中的 error 相对应，故为正确答案。
Part Ⅴ Writing
How I Finance My College Education?
Nowadays, tuition and fees for college are much higher than ever before. How to finance one ' s college education has become a matter of concern for many. You can deal with it in many ways. You can get all the needed money from your parents.
You can apply for a loan specially set up for college students. You can also raise the money completely by yourself, by doing a full-time job in summer and winter holidays. Or you can ask your parents to provide the greater part and earn the rest in your spare time by doing a part-time job.
In my opinion, the last way may prove to be quite beneficial. Having obtained most of the tuition and fees from one ' s parents, one needn ' t worry too much about the money and can concentrate on his studies. On the other hand, a part-time job in one ' s spare time will add color to one ' s campus life.Through the part-time j ob one can make a lot of friends, improve one ' s social skills and learn many practical things. Therefore, I choose this way to cover my tuition and fees. |
