Part ⅡReading Comprehension (35 minutes)

Directions:There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is fol

choices marked A),B),C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark t

he corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage 1

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

The ancient Chinese called jade the stone of immortality.It has been used as adornment by women for thousands of years.

Cutting and polishing the raw stone is a tedious process.It often takes months.After initial cutting,a piece is ground to its desired form—being passed from rough to smooth grindstones.“Our job is to subtract;we cannot add,”smiles an experienced carver.

In judging jade,a little knowledge is often a dangerous thing.It is the easiest gem to imitate.Some of the cheap natural jade can be dyed to a beautiful green.Cruder imitations are made of glass or plastic;but these are easier to detect,since they are smoother than the real gem,which has a slightly uneven surface and a rather greasy look.

No two gems are alike.Jade is priced according to its colour and translucence.Prices range from a few dollars for an opaque,dull-green stone to thousands for one with a true,clear,emerald green.The guidelines for buying jade are few and simple:Buy jade only after having seen it under natural light.Use another piece of good quality for comparison.Beware on unusually low prices.Finally,go to only reputable jewellers.

21.It often takes____ to cut and polish jade.

A)a short time B)a few weeks

C)years D)months 

22.Before being passed through grindstones,raw jade is first____ .

25.A good piece of jade may cost____ .

A)a few dollars B)a hundred dollars

C)thousands of dollars D)millions of dollars

Passage 2

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

American Indians played a central role in the war known as the American Revoluti

on.To them,however,the dispute between the colonists and England was peripheral(

边缘的).For American Indians the conflict was a war for American Indian independence,and whichever side they chose they lost it.Mary Brant was a powerful influence among the Iroquois.She was a Mohawk,the leader of the society of all Iroquois matrons,and the widow of Sir William Johnson,Superintendent of Indian Affairs.Her brother,Joseph Brant, is the best-known American Indian warrior of the Revolution,yet she may have exerted even more influence in the Confederacy than he did .She used her influence to keep the western tribes of Iroquois loyal to the English king,George Ⅲ.When the colonists won the war,she and her tribe had to abandon their lands-and retreat to Canada.On the other side,Nancy Ward held positions of authority in the Cherokee nation.She had fought as a warrior in the war against the Greeks and as a reward for her heroism was made “Beloved Woman”of the tribe.This office made her chief of the women’s council and a member of the council of chiefs.She was friendly with the White settlers and supported the Patriots during the Revolution.Yet the Cherokees too lost their land.

26.What is the main point the author makes in the passage?

A)Siding with the English in the Revolution helped American Indians regain

their land.

B)At the time of the Revolution,the Superintendent of Indian Affairs had li

ttle power.

30.According to the passage,what did Mary Brant and Nancy Ward have in comm

on?

A)Each was called “Beloved Woman”by her tribe. 

B)Each influenced her tribe’s role in the American Revolution.

C)Each lost a brother in the American Revolution. 

D)Each went to England after the American Revolution.

Passage 3

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

It is in the joints of human body that movements of the bones take place.The movement itself is caused by the pull of sheets and cords of very tough tissue (组织) called muscle. Muscle tissue has the special ability to shorten itself so that the bone on which it pulls has to move.When muscle tissue shortens,it also bunches up (凸起). Muscle tissue covers the body in sheets,and bands that lie between the skin and the skeleton.The bones are the framework of the body,but the muscles fill out the body shape. Most muscles extend from one bone to another.When the muscle between the bones shortens,one bone has to move.The point where the muscle is fastened to the unmoving bone is called the origin of the muscle, whereas the point where the muscle is fastened to the bone that is to be moved is called the insertion.Sometimes the muscle is not attached directly to the bone but to a tough,nonstretchable cord ,or tendon that is attached to the bone.

Muscles do not push;they can only pull.To bend the arm at the elbow,the muscle at the front of the upper arm has to shorten and bunch up.To unbend the arm,other muscles in the back of the arm have to shorten.These two sets of muscles —the front and back—are said to act in opposition to each other.When one set is working ,the other set is usually relaxed.But there are times when both of them work.Sometimes muscles are called upon to do more than simply pull in one direction.They may have to perform a turning motion.To be able to do this ,the muscle must be attached to the bone at an angle.By pulling, the muscle can cause the bone to pivot.

31.According to the passage,movement occurs when a muscle____ .

A)grows B)shortens

C)relaxes D)pushes

32.The point at which a muscle is attached to the bone that moves is called

the ____ .

A)source B)insertion

C)tendon D)diaphragm

33.The phrase“called upon”in line 12 is closest in meaning to which of the

following?

A)Required.B)Visited.

C)Permitted.D)Subjected.

34.The passage implies that reversing the muscle-bone movement used to bend

an arm requires____ .

A)the relaxation of two sets of muscles

B)the use of different muscles

C)a different kind of tissue

D)the enlargement of the muscle

35.Why are some muscles attached to bones at an angle?

A)To cause the muscles to push.

B)To strengthen the muscles.

C)To shorten tissues.

D)To perform a turning action.

Passage 4

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Of the tens of thousands of ships on the ocean bottom,only a handful,less than1 percent,contain negotiable treasure,such as gold and jewels.Most give us a different,priceless treasure—history.A sunken ship lies in trust,preserved in the airless environment of the sea,and those in deep water are especially well protected.No dry land sites anywhere—except perhaps Egyptian tombs—are in a better state of preservation than a vessel deep in the ocean.A sunken ship,therefore,can be a rare window through which a moment in time is glimpsed.

This is not to imply that sunken ships are always found intact.Most ships break up on the way down,hit the bottom at about 100 miles per hour,and become a chaotic,confusing jumble(混乱的一堆). I recall the chagrin (懊恼) of a novice diver who ,after surfacing from an underwater tour of a 400-foot ship,asked his diving buddy.“Where was the wreck?” It takes experience to actually know sunken ship when one sees it.

But no matter what its condition on the way down,a ship deteriorates much more slowly as it sinks deeper into protective layer of sand and mud. Ancient vessels have been found in remarkably good condition.In 1997 a group of marine archaeologists excavating (发掘) a 900-year-old wreck recovered engraved glassware,Greek coins,bronze kettles,and amazingly,Greek jars containing seeds,almonds,and lentile—even a plate with chicken bones.

36.Which of the following is meant by the“priceless treasure”metioned in line 2?A)Valuable information. B)Ancient coins. C)Precious stones. D)Old books.

37.The author compares a sunken ship preserved in the deep sea to which of the following?

A)A tomb in Egypt. B)A Greek jar.

C)A vacuum. D)A bronze chest.

38.According to the passage,which of the following usually happens to a ship as it sinks?

A)It remains in an upright position.

B)It gets transported by the currents.

C)It breaks into pieces.

D)It attracts marine life.

39.Which of the following objects found on the 900-year-old wreck most surp

rised the author?

A)Money. B)Jars.

C)Chicken bones. D)Glassware.

40.Which of the following features of an ancient ship is of most interest to the author?

A)Speed. B)Contents.

C)Location. D)Design.

试卷二 Paper Two

Part ⅣShort Answer Questions (15 minutes)

Directions:There is 1 passage in this part with five questions or unfinished statements.Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words(not exceeding 10 words)

Icebergs are among nature’s most spectacular creations,and yet most people have

never seen one. A vague air of mystery envelops them. They come into being-somewhere-in faraway,frigid (寒冷的)waters,amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence,which in most cases no one hears or sees.They exist only a short time and then slowly waste away just as unnoticed.

Objects of sheerest beauty,they have been called.Appearing in an endless variety

of shapes,they may be dazzlingly white,or they may be glassy blue,green or purple,tinted faintly or in darker hues.They are graceful,stately,inspiring in calm,sunlit seas.

But they are also called frightening and dangerous,and that they are—in the nig

ht,in the fog and in storms.Even in clear weather one is wise on stay a safe distance away from them. Most of their bulk is hidden below the water,so their underwater parts may extend out far beyond the visible top. Also,they may roll over unexpectedly,churning the waters around them.

Icebergs are parts of glaciers that break off drift into the water,float about awhile,and finally melt.Icebergs afloat today are made of snowflakes that have fallen over long ages of time.They embody snows that drifted down hundreds,or many

thousands or some cases maybe a million years ago.The snows fell in polar regions and on cold mountains,where they melted only a little or not at all,and so

collected to great depths over the years and centuries.

As each year’s snow accumulation lay on the surface,evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes slowly to lose their feathery points and become tiny grains of ice.When new snow fell on the top of the old,it too turned to icy grains.So blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer upon layer and were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper layers compressed the lower ones .With time and pressure from above,the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals,and eventually the deeper crystals merged into a solid mass of ice.

Questions:

71.Why does the author state that icebergs are rarely seen?

72.Why are icebergs dangerous according to the passage?

73.What do icebergs originate from?

74.In line 16,the expression “from above” refers to ____.

75.What’s the author’s attitude toward icebergs?

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

Passage One

【文章大意】文章第一段讲述了玉石数千年来作为妇女装饰的用途。第二段讲述玉石的制

作过程,切割、打磨玉石一个历时数月的过程。第三段讲了玉的鉴别,因为玉是最好仿造

的宝石,所以对玉的了解不够是很易被骗的。第四段讲怎样买到真正的好玉,作者提出了简

便易行的四点建议即①在自然光下观察②与真正的好玉作比较③警惕便宜货④找有声誉的珠宝商购买。

21.D 由第二段第二句可知:雕琢一块玉需几个月的时间。

22.B 由第二段第二句可知:在进行磨光之前,需要修刻成需要的形状,即“往下减

而不是往上加”。

23.B 由第三段第二句可知:美玉最容易模仿。

24.D 由第三段第四句可知:较粗糙的仿制品是由玻璃和塑料制成的,但它们较易辨

认,因为它们比真的美玉更光滑。

25.C 由最后一段第二句可知:宝玉的价格从几美元到几千美元不等。这说明一块好

的玉值数千美元。

Passage Two

【文章大意】文章讲述美国印第安人在美国独立战争中扮演了重要的角色。尽管他们认为

战争是为了争取美国印第安人的独立,但不论他们参加哪一方作战(英国方或美国方)等待他们的结局都是一样的,失去自己的土地。文章举了两个人物的不同的选择来说明这样一个事实。

26.C 这一段的中心意思是:无论美洲印第安人在美国革命战争中支持谁,最终他们

都失去了他们自己的土地。文中举了两个例子来说明这一观点。

27.A 在第五句作者介绍说:Mary Brant 是Mohawk 整个Iroquios部落的首领

,是印第安事务主管Sir William Johnson 的遗孀。这说明Mary Brant的丈夫曾是政府官员。

28.C 在第九句作者讲到:Nancy Ward 在Cherokee民族掌权。这说明她是属Cherokee部族。

29.A 在第十句讲到:Nancy Ward 在与希腊的交战中作战勇猛,作为对她的女英

雄行为的奖赏,她成了“Beloved Woman”(“受人爱戴的女人”)。这个职位使她成了妇女协会的头领及首领委员会的一个成员。由此可知Nancy Ward是通过她的勇敢获得她的职位的。

30.B 这道题的题意为:Mary Brant 和Nancy Ward有何共性。作者举这两个例子最终

要说明的是,无论印第安人是支持英殖民者还是支持美国,最终都没有得到应有的待遇。这

两位领袖人物的行为说明她们各自都用自己的行为影响了各自部落在革命战争中的作用。

Passage Three

【文章大意】文章第一段讲述了人体骨头的运动是由肌肉拉伸控制的。作者具体解释了肌肉控制骨骼运动的过程,位于皮肤和骨架间的肌肉附着在骨头上,当其收缩时便带动了相应骨骼的移动。第二段强调了肌肉只能收缩,不能伸展,作者通过胳臂的收缩,伸展和扭转运动讲述了不同肌肉间如何相互配合完成多种不同的手臂动作。

31.B 在第三句谈到;肌肉组织具有缩短自己的特殊能力,其用处是使它所附在其上的骨胳可以运动。这说明,当肌肉缩短时,便会产生运动。

32.B 在第九句后半部分说到:肌肉所附着的将被移动的骨胳的那个点称为附着(insertion)。

33.A 这句话的意思为:有的时候,肌肉所需做的不仅仅是单方面的拉。这里的“cal

led upon”是“required”或“needed”的意思。

34.B 这一道题的题意为:用于弯曲胳臂的肌肉骨胳运动的相反运动需要……。从第

一段第二句话可知:伸直胳臂需要胳臂背面的其他肌肉缩短。也就是需要用不同的肌肉。

35.D 在最后一句中说到:要能做转动运动,肌肉必须以一定的角度附着在骨胳上。

这说明某些骨肉以一定的角度附在骨胳上是为了能做转动动作,故D正确。

Passage Four

【文章大意】文章第一段讲在海底成千上万的沉船中,只有不到百分之一的装有财宝,大

部分沉船的价值在于给我们提供一个了解历史的窗口,因为沉船在深海中得到了极好的保护。第二段讲了多数沉船都四分五裂,辨认尚属不易,故沉船的价值不在于它的完整。那么又是什么呢?是沉船上的物品。最后一段说明了这一点。总之,全文讲述沉船的历史价值往往在于船上的物品,虽然沉船在深海底部保存得较陆上好得多,但其在下沉过程中破坏较大,有时沉到底部时已成为难于辨认的乱七八糟的一堆,但沉船上却能发现完好的物品。透过这些物品,我们就可以了解历史,了解过去。

36.A 从上下文可知;在众多的沉船中,仅有不到1%的船里有如金子和首饰类的可流

通的财物,大部分沉船给我们的是另一种珍贵的宝物——历史。这说明,“珍贵的宝物”

在此指的是历史,即这些沉船告诉我们一些有关不同时代的信息。

37.A 在第一段第四句讲到:也许除了埃及的古墓之外,陆地上没有哪个地方比深海

能更好地保护船只了。由这句话可知:作者把保护在深海里的沉船比作埃及的古墓。

38.C 在第二段第二句讲到:大部分船在下沉过程中破碎。

39.C 在最后一句中作者介绍说:1977年,一组海洋考古学者发掘了一只有900年历史的沉船,复原了雕刻的玻璃器,希腊硬币,铜壶,更令人吃惊的是希腊的装有种子、杏仁、小扁豆的罐,甚至一只盛有鸡骨头的盘子。这说明,最令作者吃惊的是鸡骨头。

40.B 在最后一段及第一段作者分别谈到的是船内的东西。这说明作者最感兴趣的是

古船装载的东西。

流工具。解析:句中permit与句子主语呈主动关系,故可排除A和B。C中不定式作状语表示目的,此处语法正确,但hearing不合语法。因为to see 和to hear 为as well as 连接的平行结构。故选D,D中现在分词短语做状语表示补充说明。

48.D 译文:那位老人非常幸运,活过了这次心脏手术。解析:come through 指经历危险后“活了下来”。而come to 为“苏醒”;come across为“偶然遇见或发现”;come up with为“拿出或提出(办法、答案)等。

49.C 译文:塑料纤维做成的衣服同那些由自然纤维(例如:棉花,羊毛和丝)做成的

布相比:有一些优点。解析:clothing是衣服、被褥的总称,不能用one 或the one 来指代。what相当于先行词+that,后边需跟一个从句,而made of natural fibres是一个过去分词短语,不是从句所以D项也不能入选。只能用代词that来指代clothing.

50.C 译文:人们错误认为达尔文在说猴子是人类的祖先。解析:A项successor意

为“接替人、继任者”,B项offspring意为“子孙、后代”,C项predecessor 意为“前任,前辈”;D项breeder意为“饲养员,起源者”。根据句意“人们误以为达尔文是在说猴子是人类的祖先”,C项为正确选择。

51.C 译文:和我一起吃饭,好吗?解析:祈使句和感叹句之后可以加一个附加疑问

句,使口气变得客气一些。

52.D 译文:“倾盆大雨接连不断地下了一个多星期了,致使很多地方发生了滑坡”

。解析:据句意可知,此处用完成进行时,又因动作发生在过去的过去,故用过去完成时

。注意“rain cats and dogs”为习语,意为“下倾盆大雨”。

53.A 译文:—为什么史密斯先生没有加入国际学生组织?—他反对我们收会费。解

析:在动词短语object to 后必须用名词或动名词做宾语。动名词前面可以加一个物主代词或名词的所有格来表示这一动名词的逻辑主语。其他三个选项不合语法。

54.C 译文:所谓的偶数如下:2、4、6、8等等。解析:as follows 为固定搭配,

意为“如下”。

55.C 译文:他有时脾气比较坏,但在本质上他是一个好人。解析:at heart 意为

“在内心”;in heart 意为“情绪高”;with heart意为“真心的”;by heart意为“用心记”。

56.A 译文:想象力丰富的孩子总喜欢编神话故事。解析:A项imaginative 意为“

富于想象

力的,想象丰富的”;B项为imagine的分词形式;C项imaginary意为“虚构的”;D项imaginable意为“可以想象得到的”。

57.A 译文:这位诚实的老人被控这项罪名而受到起诉是不公平的。〖JP2〗解析:

accuse 和charge

都可表示“控告”,但用于不同的结构。即分别用于accuse sb. of sth. 和charge sb. with sth.结构中,表示为“控告某人犯了某罪”。而blame为“指责”,用被动式时,后接for;sentence为“判刑”,后接to。

58.A 译文:英语对理工科的学生来说很重要。解析:在英语中,of加上一

类表示性质、质量、颜色、大小、类型、出身等词(其中有不少抽象名词并没有相适的形容

词)可以用来表示特征,这种of+抽象名词的结构,在句中除做表语外,还可做定语和补足语。此句中of importance相当于形容词 important,类似的一组表达法有:be of importance (help,significance,value,use,etc.)。

59.B 译文:现在,由于家用电器,家务活变得比以前容易得多了。

解析:appliances 常用于指家用电器;而instruments则多指精细工作或科学上所用的“精密仪器”;apparatus指“一套仪器;一套器械装置”;facilities“设备”,指使工作便利的工具或环境。

60.D 译文:海伦不知道我修理房子花了多少时间,如果她发现了的话,我敢肯定她永远也不会原谅我的。解析:主句为一个错综虚拟句。从句是与过去事实相反的假设,而主句则表示与现在事实相反,故用would do 而A、B、和C、都不是虚拟句式。

61.B 句意:他刚到,她就开始埋怨。

解析:在英语中以下四个副词 hardly,barely,scarcely 和no sooner 位于句首要引起主谓倒装。要注意以下两点:①记住它们的固定连接方式:hardly/barely/scarely...when;no sooner...than;②以上四种结构主句中的谓语动词用过去完成式,从句中的谓语用过去式。A、C、D三项结构时态不合要求。

62.B 译文:冰在加热后,就会变成水。

解析:分词作状语时,它的逻辑主语应是句子的主语。当句子的主语是分词动作的发出者,用现在分词;当句子的主语是分词动作的承受者,用过去分词。本题中,主语ice是heat动作的承受者,它们之间是一种被动关系,该用过去分词;为了强调分词短语所表示的是时间状语,在其前加上连词when,故B项为正确答案。

63.D 译文:你得有相隔约10米的两棵树,用它们来支撑你的帐篷。

解析:which指前面的two trees意为“在两树之间悬挂帐篷”。本句逗号后相当于非限制性定语从句,there 和them均非关系代词,where虽然可作关系副词,但不能指代前面的two trees。

64.B 译文:有证据表明,某些具体的声音,即使是六个月大的婴儿也能够辨认出来。

解析:that引导同位语从句,说明evidence其他三个词不能引导同位语从句。

65.C 译文:湖边上曾经有一些树,是吗?解析:There used to 句型上相当于ther

e be句型,所以此处用be提问。动词的数应与后面的名词一致。

66.B 译文:由于他不喜欢这个电视节目,他换到另一个频道。

解析:switch to 用于带按钮开关等物体的扭转、转换。也可指转换话题;而convert to 指“从一种形式或用途转换成另一种”。turn to 意为“开始工作;开始动手”;change into为“改换成”。

67.D 译文:没有那些庞大的机器的帮助,这条河上的大桥不可能在去年建成。解

析:这是由without引起的虚拟语气。由last year可知此句与过去事实相反,故用could+完成体。should+完成体表示过去该做某事而实际上却没有做。

68.C 译文:电台、电视和出版社是三种最常见的传递新闻和信息的方式。

解析:名词前有几个修饰成分时,其排列顺序一般为:限定词→描绘形容词→表示大小,新旧的形容词→表示颜色的形容词→表示类别的形容词→表示类别的名词→名词中心词。

69.C 译文:从现在开始,我要随时知道你过得怎么样。解析:此处需用过去分词

做补语,keep myself informed of 意为“随时使自己得知”。现在分词informing 意为“通知(他人)”,且跟从句时,不需用of,故B不对。

70.A 译文:请务必把这些信送到邮局。解析:see (to it) that为固定结构,意为“务必使……,保证使……”。

Part Ⅴ Writing

Laid-off Workers Need Help

A total of 11.5 million workers had been laid off from the country’s money-losing or bankrupt enterprises by the end of last year,and the figure is expected to continue to rise as technology becomes more advanced and in-depth reform of state-owned enterprises takes off.

Helping to solve the re-employment problem is of vital importance to the country’s reform,development and stability.Although financial aid may help temporarily,the lasting remedy is to provide vocational training to the laid-off workers and those in danger of losing their jobs.Many laid-off workers have low technical ability,so they cannot find new jobs.Some people are skilled at their jobs,but when they are laid-off,they must learn new skills to shift to new jobs.Some statistics indicates that trained workers are three times as likely to be re-employed as those who did not participate in training programmes.

Are employment oriented training network should be formed immediately to cover as many laid-off workers as possible to enhance their abilities to face challenges.In addition,facilities and employment centres run by trade unions should join hands with local authorities to provide timely job information for the laid-off workers.
