You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
“I have considered the structure of all volant animals, and find the folding continuity of the bat’s wings most easily accommodated to the human form. Upon this model I shall begin my task tomorrow, and in a year expect to tower into the air beyond the malice or pursuit of man. But I will work only on this condition, that the art shall not be divulged, and that you shall not require me to make wings for any but ourselves.”
“Why,” said Rasselas.“ should you envy others so great an advantage? All skill ought to be exerted for universal good; every man has owed much to others, and ought to repay the kindness that he has received.” “If men were all virtuous,” returned the artist. “I should with great alacrity teach them all to fly. But, what would be the security of the good, if the bad could at pleasure invade them from the sky? Against an army sailing through the clouds neither wall, nor mountains, nor seas, could afford any security. A flight of northern savages might hover in the wind, and light at once with irresistible violence upon the capital of a fruitful region that was rolling under them. Even this valley, the retreat of princes, the abode of happiness, might be violated by the sudden descent of some of the naked nations that swarm on the coast of the southern sea.”

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
From 1841 until 1867, the year in which the transcontinental railroad was completed, nearly 350,000 North Americans emigrated to the Pacific coast along the western wagon road known variously as the Oregon, the California, or simply the Overland Trail. This migration was essentially a family phenomenon. The contention
that “the family was the one substantial social institution” on the frontier is too sweeping, yet it is undeniable that the white family largely mediated the
incorporation of the western territories into the American nation.
For every member of the family, the west trip was exhausting, toilsome, and often grueling. Each year in late spring, westbound emigrants gathered for the journey at spots along the Missouri River and moved out in parties of ten to several hundred wagons. Aggregates of nuclear families, loosely attached by kinship or friendship, traveled together or joined an even larger caravan. Coastbound families traveled by oxdrawn wagons at the frustratingly slow pace of fifteen to twenty miles per day. They worked their way up the Platt River valley where the route was relatively easy going; but from where the roads to California and Oregon diverged, to their final destinations, the pioneers faced disastrous conditions: scorching deserts, boggy sand flats, and rugged mountains.
26. It is implied in the passage that after 1867, the Overland Trail was no
longer used so frequently because by then ____.
A) 350,000 people had emigrated to the Pacific coast
B) the emigrants started using a different route
C) it was easier to go by railroad
D) the condition of the Trail had deteriorated badly
27. What was the importance of the families in this migration west?
A) They were instrumental in the west joining the rest of America.
B) They established societies in the Western regions.
C) They formed the American nation.
D) They populated the frontier.
28. According to the passage the migrants ____.
A) were tired when they started their journey
B) traveled in closely knit groups
C) started their journey at roughly the same time each year
D) followed the route of the Missouri River
29. The most difficult part of the journey was ____.
A) up the plat River valley
B) after the roads forked to Oregon and California
C) along the Missouri River
D) along the Pacific Coast Road
30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A) The Great Migration West
B) The Coming of the Transcontinental Railroad
C) The American Nation
D) Travel in 19th Century America
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
In the United States, a person’s status or success in life is often measured by individual accomplishment as a result of individual effort. The status or prestige of the group that the individual belongs to or the company the individual works for is much less important than individual effort and success in spite of difficult circumstances. This is a story about the “American Dream” and a woman who came to the United States at the age of twentytwo to achieve it.Margaret Jaffe arrived in California from Scotland in 1964 when she was just twentytwo years old. She quickly used to American ways. She got herself a secretarial job, a small apartment, a used American car, and finally a husband, Michael. She quit her job when her son David was born in 1973.David was the inspiration. Margaret needed to start her own business. It all began when she put baby David into an infant seat and noticed how hot and sweaty and restless he became in the plastic pad that covered the infant seat. To make him feel more comfortable, she sewed a pretty flowered slipcover and filled it with soft cotton. She put it over the plastic pad on the infant seat. It was an immediate success with the baby, and Margaret said to her husband, “This will sell. There is a market for it.”Margaret quickly sewed five more seat covers and took them to a buyer at a large department store in Los Angeles. She got an order for 144 of the flowered cotton covers and was given only one week to fill it. Then Margaret took her seat covers to other local department and specialty stores, and before long, she had more orders than she could sew herself. So she drew patterns and cut pieces at home and then gave them to other housewives who sewed the finished product. By the end of 1974, just one year later, she had sold about $10,000 worth of infant seat covers at around $3 each.By 1978, Margaret had added comforters, sheets, and zippered suits for babies to her product line and was making around $30,000 per year. Then states began to pass laws requiring all children under the age of four to ride in special car seats when they are in an automobile. It was good luck for Margaret Jaffe, who began receiving orders for her pretty flowered seat covers to use on the plastic car seats. Margaret’s husband, Michael, became a salesman for her products, and Margaret herself concentrated on management and production. The Jaffes moved from California to Virginia so they could be closer to the manufacturers of the cotton material Margaret needed, and they formed their own company, Bonny Bunting. At age forty two, Margaret Jaffe now owns a factory of her own, and her business sales are over $3 million a year. In 1982, the Jaffes took a combined salary of $100,000 from their business.
31. How did Margaret get the idea to start making her infant seat covers?
A) She thought it would be a good job to do at home after her son was born.
B) Her husband suggested the idea; he thought the covers would sell well.
C) She noticed that the covers made her baby much more comfortable.
D) States began passing laws requiring children to ride in special infant car seats.
32. What happened when Margaret tried to sell the seat covers to Los Angeles department store?
A) The store ordered more covers than she could sew herself.
B) The store ordered over a hundred covers and gave Margaret a week to make
them.
C) The store ordered over $10,000 worth of covers that year.
D) The store told her to take her covers to other department stores or spec
ialty shops to sell them.
33. Why did the Jaffes move to Virginia?
A) In order to be closer to the factory they bought.
B) Because there were more sales of their products there.
C) Because Margaret’s husband got a job as a salesman there.
D) Because they wanted to be closer to the manufacturers of the fabrics Margaret used.
34. In the United States, a person’s status is often measured by ____.
A) his or her personal achievements
B) the status or prestige of the group the individual belongs to
C) the status or prestige of the company the person work for
D) the person’s origin
35. Why is Margaret Jaffe’s story an example of the American Dream?
A) It shows how easy it can be to get rich in America.
B) It shows how immigrants can become successful in the United States.
C) It shows how success is best achieved through individual effort.
D) It shows that even women who are also wives and mothers can be successful in business in America.
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
More attention was paid to the quality of production in France at the time of Rene Coty. Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister. He stressed that wor
kmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production. It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international market to
complete with those produced in other countries. The French economy needed a larger share of the international market to balance its import and export trade.
French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people, let alone longranged developments. Essential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking point. Rents were tightly
controlled, but the extreme inflation affected general population most severely
through the cost of food. Food costs took as much as 80 per cent of workers income. Wages, it is true, had risen and there was fulltime and overtime employment. Taken together these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security. In this precarious and discouraging situation, workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages.
The government was reluctant to let workers leave the country. It was feared this migration of workers would deplete the labor force. The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced.
Qualified workers produced in foreign countries. Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its qualified labor force moved to other countries.
36. According the passage, the French workers were ____.
A) better paid than the workers in any other European country
B) able to save more money with the increase in his wages
C) anxious to work abroad
D) often unable to find work in France
37. Which was not true in France?
A) Food costs were low.
B) Wages had increased.
C) The state paid family allowances.
D) There was overtime employment.
38. The French government was reluctant to let the workers leave the country, because ____.
A) it would enlarge the working force
B) it would hinder the improvement of quality in industrial production
C) it would hinder the increase in quantity of exports
D) it would damage the imports
39. According to the passage, French production ____.
A) was inadequate to meet the needs of the French people
B) was flooding the international market with inferior products
C) emphasized industrial production at the expense of agricultural production
D) was enough for the local market
40. According to the passage, the French government ____.
A) prohibited French to work abroad
B) reduced taxes to fight inflation
C) paid family allowances and benefits
D) prohibited the French worker to join labor unions

Part Ⅳ Short Answer Questions
Directions:In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words).
George Washington Carver showed that plant life was more than just food for animals and humans. Carver’s first step was to analyze plant parts to find out what
they were made of. He then combined these simpler isolated substances with other
substances to create new products.
The branch of chemistry that studies and finds ways to use raw materials from farm products to make industrial products is called chemurgy. Carver was one of the first and greatest chemurgists of all time. Today the science of chemurgy is better known as the science of synthetics. Each day people depend on and use synthetic materials made from raw materials. All his life Carver battled against the disposal of waste materials, and warned of the growing need to develop substitutes for the natural substances being used up by humans. Carver never cared about getting credit for the new products he created. He never tried to patent his discoveries or get wealthy from them. He turned down many offers to leave Tuskegee Institute to become a rich scientist in private industry. Thomas Edison, inventor of the electric light, offered him a laboratory in Detroit to carry out food research. When the United States government made him a collaborator in the Mycology and Plant Disease Survey of the Department of Agriculture, he accepted the position with the understanding that he wouldn’t have to leave Tuskegee. An authority on plant diseases—especially of the fungus variety—Carver sent hundreds of specimens to the United States Department of Agriculture. At the peak of his career, Carver’s fame and influence were known on every continent.
71. What is the main topic of this passage?
________________________________________.

案应该是C，而不是其他。
7.答案B。
【试题分析】这是一个间接推理题，需根据关键词进行推理。
【关键词语】musician, insurance, salesman

三头狮子逃出马戏团)。故B为正确答案。
19.答案D。
【参考译文】为什么老太太不感到害怕?

20.答案C。
【参考译文】当检查房子后，那头狮子在做什么?
【试题分析】本题为一般性理解题。

仍在房间里睡觉，故C为正确答案。
Part Ⅱ

短文大意
本文作者利用文学上的象征手法，通过一位艺术学家同Rasselas的对话反映了作者的观点：人们不应妒忌别人的长处，要与人为善，帮助别人，因为人们的技能是从相互学习和取长补短中得到的，这样才能有益于社会，有益于他人和自己。同时还告诫世人：要想实现世界和平必须清除那种邪恶的思想倾向。
21.答案A。
【参考译文】Rasselas的观点是鼓励帮助他人的观点。
【试题分析】本题考查对作者观点的理解。
【详细解答】作者通过Rasselas之口来表述自己的观点。从Rasselas的讲话中可以推断出：他的观点是帮助他人。…every man has owed much to others, and ought to repay the kindess that he has repayed(每个人都欠别人很多，而且都应对他收到的善待回报之)。这句话实际上告诉人们要帮助他人。故为A正确答案。
22.答案D。
【参考译文】那个Rasselas正在给他讲话的人是位艺术家。
【试题分析】本题考查对全文的综合分析与理解能力。需根据上下文的内容进行推理。
【详细解答】A.a tailor裁缝。和内容不符，因为没有一个句子里谈有关衣服的裁剪的问题。B.a gambler打赌者。文中也没有涉及任何赌博和赌注的事情。C.一只蝙蝠。Rasselas
不可能在和一只蝙蝠对话。D.an artist一位艺术家。从全篇内容来看，通过两人的对话所
涉及的观点都是针对艺术或技术方面的事情，从而证实他是一位艺术家，故D为正确答案。
23.答案C。
【参考译文】表述自己观点人的态度是一种怀疑的态度。
【试题分析】本题对作者意图的理解，即通过这位艺术家之口中表明作者的意图和目的。
【详细解答】从这位艺术家所发出的疑问中可以判断他是对自己所持的观点表示。如：“
If men were all virtuous, I should with great alacrity teach them all to fly. But what would be the security of the good, if the bad could at pleasure invade them from the sky?(如果人们都是善良的，那么我就非常乐意教他们都飞起来。但是，如果
那些坏家伙任意从天上来侵犯好人；好人的安全将会怎样?)这种自问自答的形式，正好表达
了他的矛盾心理和对自己的观点怀疑和否定。故C为正确答案。
24.答案C。
【参考译文】在这篇选材中，作者运用的是文学上的象征手法。
【试题分析】本题考察对作者写作手法的了解和认识。
【详细解答】A. onomatopoeia拟声法。这种手法在此文中没有运用，故应排除；B.flash
back倒叙法，也应排除；C.symbolism象征手法，作者通过形象的比喻来表述自己的观点，
贯穿于全文之中；D.头韵手法，这是诗歌写作中所使用的手法，不属于这一范围，只有C符合题意。
25.答案B。
【参考译文】根据短文意思，世界上的和平只有消灭罪恶的思想倾向才能实现。
【试题分析】本题考察对作者意图的理解和推测。
【详细解答】A.通过武力自卫。如果用这种方法实现世界和平，那只能会使军备竞赛更加
激烈，根本不会有和平而言。C.通过实施计谋，这只能使国际间的间谍案频频发生，矛盾与
冲突不间断，也不会有和平。D.通过建立强用力的控制，控制越紧，反抗越有力，哪里有控
制，哪里就会有反控制，同样不会有和平。因此，要想实现和平，就必须消除那种罪恶企图
与想法，彼此和平共处，相善与共处是上上之策。这些都是作者所要表达的真正意图，故B
为正确选择。
2短文大意
本文描述了美国在19世纪西部大迁移的壮观情况。从1841年到1867年，横跨大陆的铁路完工，在这段时间里，大约有35万北美人通过西部的土路移民到太平洋海岸，这种迁移基本上是以家庭为主体的迁移。铁路修成之后，靠铁路西迁就容易多了。这种以家庭为单位的迁移使西部加入了美国的版图。西迁每年都有一定的时间规律，大都在暮春季节，而最难走的路程是在去Oregon和California的叉路上。
26.答案C。
【参考译文】从文中含义可知Overland Trail这条土路在1867年以后使用得不是
那么频繁了，因为当时乘火车去西部更容易了。
【试题分析】本题考察对上下文的内在含义的理解，需要根据上下文进行
间接推理。
【详细解答】铁路从1841年到1867年修建完工，使美国从北部到太平洋的交通大为改观。
和那条拥挤不堪、交通不便的土路相比当然要快捷、方便多了。无论从北部到西部或从西部
到北部乘火车要比赶着牛车来往此间快多了。这是可以从短语文中推断出来的常理。A.35万人在铁路完工之前已经移居到太平洋海岸了，这是文中明确说出的，不是所含意义。B.迁移者开始使用不同的路线，这种说法不符合事实。D.这条土路的状况变糟了，文中也没有这个含义。故A、B、D的说法均不能成立。
27.答案A。
【参考译文】以家庭为组织的西迁其重要意义是什么?
【试题分析】本题考察对难词和关键词的理解，并根据关键词语进行推理。
【详细解答】从第一段的最后一句话中可找到相应的答案。…yet it is undeniable that the white family largely mediated the incorporation of the western territories
into the American nation(…然而，不可否认的是，美国白人家庭的大量加入使美国西部
领土的合并成为可能)。这就间接告诉读者：以白人家庭为组织的西迁有助于美国合并西部
地区。故A为正确答案。
28.答案C。
【参考译文】根据短文意思，移民们开始他们的行程大概都在每年的同一时间里。
【试题分析】此题主要考察对上下文的理解能力。
【详细解答】在第二段的第二个句子里可以找到答案。Each year in late spring west
bound emigrants gathered for the journey…(每年晚春时节，西行的移民们便聚集起
来准备起程…)。由此可知C为正确答案。
29.答案B。
【参考译文】最艰难的路段是Oregon和California的交叉处。
【试题分析】同上。
【详细解答】A.up the Patt River Valley这段路程是relatively easy going(相当好走)，不符合题意。C.along the Missouri River，这段路程也较好走，因为moved out in parties of ten to several hundred wagons(沿着这条河出发的队伍由十到数百辆大车组成)，可想而知，如果路途不好走，就不会有数百辆大车在运动，故也不可取。D项的说法是错误的，；因为文中根本没有提到这条道路。B的说法是符题意的，因为它可以在短文的最后一句话里体现来：the pioneers faced disastrous conditions: scorching deserts, boggy and flats, and rugged mountains (开拓者而临的是灾难性的环境：灼热的沙漠，无限的沼泽，沙洲和崎岖不平的山路)，由此可知，到California to Oregon的叉路是多么的艰苦卓绝了。故B为正确答案。
30.答案A。
【参考译文】哪一个是本篇短文的最佳标题?
【试题分析】本题考察对全文的综合概括能力。
【详细解答】要想选出本题的最佳答案，必须对全文有充分的了解。全篇的中心思想是围
绕西迁的状观情况而展开的，西迁的规模之宏大，人数之众多，道路之艰难，意义之重大史
无前例，因此A项最能够反映这篇短文的主题，自然成为本篇文章的最佳标题。

在美国，个人所属的组织或个人为之工作的公司的地位或声望远不如个人在逆境中的努力
和成就重要。本文描述的是关于“美国之梦”和一位22岁的妇女来美国实现这个梦的故事。
31.答案C。
【参考译文】玛格丽特是怎样想起来要给婴儿座做一个罩子的?
【试题分析】本题考察对上下文的理解能力，需根据关键字句进行判断。
【详细解答】在短文第三段中可发现：It all began when she put baby
David into an infant seat and noticed how hot and sweaty and restless he became in the plastic pad that covered the infant seat(事情是这样开始的，当她把戴维放进婴儿座后发现戴维坐在罩在座位上的塑料垫上又出汗又不安)。To make him feel more comfortable, she sewed a pretty flowered slipcover and filled it with soft cotton(为了使孩子感觉舒服一些，她就缝了一个好看的有花纹的家具套并装填了柔软的棉花)。由此可知C为正确答案。
32.答案B。
【参考译文】当玛格丽特要把座罩卖给洛杉矶百货商店时发生了什么事?
【试题分析】同上。
【详细解答】在第四段开始的第二个句子中可发现：She got an order for 144 of the
flowered cotton covers and was given only one week to fill it.(她得到了144套有花纹的棉座罩订单，并要她在一星期之内按订单交货)。故B为正确答案。
33.答案A。
【参考译文】杰夫夫妻二人什么时候搬到弗吉尼亚的?
【试题分析】同上。
【详细解答】此答案可在字行里发现，在文章的最后一段中有如下描述：
Then states began to pass laws requiring all children under the age of four to ride in special car seats when they are in an automobile. It was good luck for Margaret Jaffe, who began receiving orders for her pretty flowered seat covers to use on the plastic car scats.就是在订货单源源不断到来时，为了更靠近夫妇二人所需
要的棉花制造厂家的原材料，便决定搬到弗吉尼亚去。故A为正确答案。
34.答案A。在美国个人的地位往往是由个人的成就来衡量的。
【参考译文】同上。
【试题分析】在文章的开头作者就明确地指出：In the United States, a person’s status or success in life is often measured by individual personal accomplishment as a result of individual.(在美国个人一生的地位或成功往往是由个人的努力所取得的成就来衡量的)。这就明确告诉读者A符合本题题意，为最佳答案。
35.答案C。
【参考译文】为什么说玛格丽特的故事是“美国梦”成功的一个榜样?
【试题分析】本题考察对作者意图的理解，通过实例来表述作者的观点。
【详细解答】A.这个故事说明在美国很容易成为富人。这种说法不符合实
际，因为在美国成为富人并不是那么容易的，如果不通过个人的努力和机遇是不可能实现“
美国梦”的。此项应首先排除。B.说明移民们在美国是如何能够成功的。这也不符合实情。Margaret的成功主要是靠自己的努力奋斗才获取的，并非所有的移民都能够如此，她只不过是其中的一个典型例子而已，故不可取。D.表明作为人妻和孩子妈妈的女人们在美国做生意一样能够成功。这个观点不全面。不是很多妇女都能成功的，运气和努力占有很大的成份，而且这个典型在文中只有一个，故此项也不符题意。和这三项比较，C才符合本题题意，为正确答案。
4短文大意
在Rene Coty时期，法国非常重视生产质量，因为在国际市场上质量比数量更重要。只有
生产出质量高的好货物才能和别国的产品竞争。法国的经济也需要市场的大份额来平衡进出
口贸易。
然而法国的工农业生产不足，难以满足人民的需要，更谈不上长期发展，进出口的不平衡
导致信货过高，以至影响人民的生活，特别是食品的消费猛涨。花在食品上的钱占工人收入
的80%，虽然政府付给超时工作补贴，加上增加的薪水尚能勉强度日，但对工人们来说仍没
有安全感，在这种不稳定的、令人沮丧的情况下工人们宁愿到国外去打工，挣更高的工资。
政府不愿意让工人们流失国外，因为这一部分到国外打工的工人都有一技之长，这样就会
影响到法国产品质量的提高，进而影响法国的经济。
36.答案C。
【参考译文】根据短文意思，法国工人都急切到国外工作。
【试题分析】本题考察对上下文的全面理解能力，需要从字行里找答案。
【详细解答】由于生活费用过高，入不敷出，工人们为了改善生活条件，他们希望到国外
打工，挣更多的钱。这种情况可在文章第二段的最后一句中体现出来。In this precarious
and discouraging situation, workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages.故C为本题答案。
37.答案A。
【参考译文】那种情况不真实?
【试题分析】同上。
【详细解答】A.食品消费低。恰好相反，正因为消费太高，工人们入不敷出才出国打工。
所以A符合题意，为正确答案。B.Wages had increased.工资增加了是事实，文中有所交待
。C.国家给家庭津贴，这也是事实。D.超时雇工，文中也有所述。
38.答案B。
【参考译文】法国政府不愿意让工人离开法国因为这样会妨碍工业生产质量的提
高。
【试题分析】同上。
【详细解答】此答案可在文章最后一段中找到。It was feared this migration of work
ers would deplete the force. The lack of qualified workers might hinder the impr
ovement in the quality of industrial products produced(政府担心工人们的迁移会使
劳动力枯竭，缺少合格的工人有可能妨碍工业产品的质量的提高)。由此看起来，B完全符合本题题意，为正确答案。
39.答案A。
【参考译文】根据短文意思，法国的生产不能够满足法国人的需求。
【试题分析】同上。
【详细解答】文章第二段的第一个句子就明确地回答了这个问题。French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the peoples,…(法国的国家工业生产仍然不能满足人民的直接需求…)。故A为正确答案。
40.答案A。
【参考译文】根据短文意思法国政府禁止法国人出国工作。
【试题分析】本题考察对关键词语的理解能力，需要根据关键词进行直接推理。
【详细解答】从下面一句话里可推断出法国政府对工人出国工作所持的反
对态度：The government was reluctant to let workers leave the country.(政府不情愿让工人们离开法国)。这句话的意思就是反对工人们出国。政府反对实际上就等于禁止。故A为正确答案。
Part Ⅲ
41.答案A。
【参考译文】一系列的边境冲突最终导致了两国发生了战争。
【试题分析】本题考察以ly结尾的词的辨析和用法。
【详细解答】inevitably (unavoidable or unable to be avoided)不可避免的，表示某
一事态的发展达到了不可避免的程度，势必要发生，在这种情下inevitably一词用在这里
就非常合适。distinctly表示清楚地，指思想上的清楚明白，不能用于此句。regularly有规则地，有规律地；actually实际上，事实上等，和in reality意思相同，主要以事实为根据，指客观的存在。
42.答案D。
【参考译文】这种项任务的范围是什么?
【试题分析】本题为一般词汇的理解与辨析。
【详细解答】A.respect意思是“方面”，主要指事物的细节和特点。B.aspect“方面”，主要是指事务、意见、计划等的方面。C.title“标题”；“头衔”，指书、文章、音乐、报纸的标题。某人的头衔，如教授、市长等。D.scope(=extend, limit)指范围的大小等。根据题意D为正确答案。

【试题分析】本题为难词辨析题。

44.答案B。
【参考译文】爱伦过份强调体育活动，对学习强调不够。

47.答案C。
【参考译文】瑞士以其引人注目的山水风光而著称。
【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题。
【详细解答】C.scenery指一国一地的自然风光，是集体名词，没有复数形式，也不用冠
词，适用于本句。view在作“景色”讲时，是指眼里看到的景色，尤指从高处往下看到的景色；scene和view的意思接近，但用途较窄，常指某些特别的景象；如日出的壮观景象，震区，车祸的惨景等；也可指舞台上的场面或盛大活动的场所。Nature意为“造化”，“大自然”，和上帝(God)一样，要大写，不用冠词。Nature强调了大自然的威力，而不着重具体的自然景象，故C为正确选项。
48.〖ZK(]答案A。
【参考译文】虽然偶尔到海滨去一下，他通常在山里度假。
【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题。
【详细解答】usually意指“通常，平常”，允许有例外；invariably和always则含有“毫无例外”(without exception)和“一成不变”(unchanging)的意思。故不适合本题。如果选C.rarely说他很少到山里去，那么偶尔到海边去，也就不存在替代活动了，那么instead这个词就没必要在这里使用。因此，只有A适合本题，为正确答案。
49.答案B。
【参考译文】正当我们在结冰的河边漫步时，看到冰上的裂缝向四方延伸。
【试题分析】同上。

53.答案D。

D为正确答案。
54.答案B。
【参考译文】他受命早晨将旗升起来。
【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题。
【详细解答】rise意为“上升”，注意与raise的区别，后者为举起，升
起，为及物动词；exalt adj 意为“高贵的”，“欢天喜地的”；flow意为“流动，涌
出”不能用于此句。hoist相当于lift举起，和raise意思相同，意为“把…升起来”，故B为正确答案。
55.答案D。
【参考译文】堪萨斯的Topeka曾于1854年由反对奴隶制的人们居住着。
【试题分析】本题为难词辨析题。
【详细解答】accustomed to意为“习惯于……”常和to搭配，和be used to意思接近；acquainted with意为“和…认识”；afraid of意为“害怕…”；averse to意为“反对”和be opposed to意思接近，故D为正确答案。
56.答案C。
【参考译文】图书馆的顾客们如果要咨询书籍目录，要么可查找图书卡，要么去

【详细解答】review意为“回顾，复习”；information意为“信息，消息，情报”；inquiries意为“询问，打听，质询”，这里和questions意思相同。故为本题答案。topic意为
“题目，论题”，不合题意。
57.答案D。
【参考译文】杰克很不情愿地向父母承诺他将再也不赌博了。
【试题分析】本题考察对介词的搭配及其习惯用法。
【详细解答】with reluctance介词短语相当于reluctantly，修饰动词时，两者所起的作用和表达的意思是一样的。with reluctance是固定搭配，不能随意改变这种搭配关系，其他三种搭配，均不合乎习惯用法，故应弃之，只有D是正确的用法。
58.答案B。
【参考译文】我的英语老师鼓励我设法在大学里谋一个职位。
【试题分析】此题为动词try和不同介词或副词的搭配辨析题。
【详细解答】try out意思是“实验”，通过实验来证明某物是否合适；try on意思是“试穿”，试穿衣服的大小是否合适等；try for a place意思是“设法谋一位置(或职位)”；根据题意，try for a place是最佳选择，为本题答案。try back意思是“重新回到(原话题)”，不适合本题。
59.答案B。
【参考译文】就象建筑工人善于垒砖一样，有经验的作家也善于使用词汇。
【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题。
【详细解答】just as…so表示“就像…一样，…也”；just as引出的是
表示对比的从句，主句开头与它乎应的是so，所以本题答案应选C.so 。just…as和just the same as同义，表示“和…一样”。thus不能和just as相呼应，它的意思是“因此，这样
”。just like意为“就像…一样”，like是介词或形容词，不能跟句子，所以本题空格处
只能填入so才能使句子完整，因果关系才正确。
60.答案C。
【参考译文】人们的行为主要是学习的结果，而动物的行为主要取决于其本能。
【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题。
【详细解答】consciousness意为“意识”，一种抽象概念；impulse意为
“冲动”也是一种抽象概念；instinct意为“本能”，是一种inborn pattern of activity
。 如：Wolves hunt in packs by instinct(狼的本能是以群体进行捕猎)。因此C是本题答案。response意为“反应”，在受到外部或内部条件影响时的回应，不合本题题意。
61.答案C。
【参考译文】他在用各种滑石料铺一条花园小路。
【试题分析】该题考察对近义词的辨析能力。
【详细解答】path是“窄路，小路”的意思，侧重人或动物由于经常或习
惯地行走而形成的路，或者是为了一个特定的目的而特地筑成的路。本题中的“路”是人为
地、为了某一特定目的而筑成的路，故C为本题最佳选择。way的含义比较笼统，一般指为了到达指定的地点而必须经过的地方。track是指车辆、行人或动物踏成的路，而path则可是用石块或卵石筑成的路。alley可以指公园里的“小径”(path in a garden)，但不是该词的主要意思，而且不如path常用。
62.答案C。
【参考译文】我想租一套房间，如有可能，离我们学校适当近一点的。
【试题分析】want表达的是一种愿望，而不是事实，所以，不能够选择B和D作为答案，只是在可能的情况下人们能找到自己所需要的东西，而不是所有的愿望最终都能实现。因此A、B和D都应排除，只能选C。
63.答案D。
【参考译文】无论他多么生气也决不采用暴力手段。
【试题分析】本题为形近词辨析题。
【详细解答】resolve意为“解决，解答”，如resolve a contradiction
(解决矛盾)；resolve a question (or problem)等；resign意为“辞职， 放弃”等，exert意为“尽力，发挥，施加(压力)等”；resort意为“诉诸，采取(某种手段)”等，和to连用，D为本题答案。
64.答案A。
【参考译文】大家都认为为这么一点小事处罚太严厉。
【试题分析】本题为一般词汇的辨析与理解题。
【详细解答】A.harsh严厉的(=severe)；B.crude粗糙的，粗鲁的；stark僵硬的；brisk
活泼的，轻快的。可说“处罚严厉”，但不说处罚“粗鲁”或“处罚僵硬”等，故只有A为
正确答案。
65.答案C。
【参考译文】如果他认为我们班会赢得比赛，那就很可能会赢，因为他的预感往
往是准确的。
【试题分析】本题为难词辨析题。
【详细解答】A.acclaims欢呼；B.mottoes座右铭；C.hunches预感；D.suspensions中止，悬挂。根据题意，C为正确答案。
66.答案C。
【参考译文】当问到他关于丢失的戒指的事时，他满口否认他曾看到过它。
【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题。
【详细解答】reject意为“拒绝”(to refuse to have)；refuse意为“拒绝”(请求，要求等)；deny意为“否认”；ignore“不予以理睬”，“忽视”；根据句子意思，我们可以看出C为正确答案。
67.答案D。
【参考译文】英国政府所感到的压力是要对来英国定居的移民人数进行限制。
【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题，需注意与动词不定式的搭配关系。
【详细解答】这四个选项中，能与动词不定式搭配的词只有limit，其他
三个词的习惯搭配分别中是：confine…to+名词；decrease…to+名词；restrain…from…
，因此，此题的正确答案只能是D。
68.答案D。
【参考译文】如果某物能够很容易地被看到，我们就说它是很明显的。
【试题分析】此题为一般性词汇的辨析题和用法，应根据题意进行分析。
【详细解答】conspicuous明显的，引人注目的；和它意义接近的词还有
：prominent, outstanding，用在此句比较合适，因为在条件句中，有了“很容易地被看到
”，在主句中就必然有一个结果“它是很明显的”，前后一致，意思连贯，故为正确选项。
picturesque如画的，描写生动的，不合题意。desolate荒芜的，孤寂的；vigorous精力旺盛的，B和C也和题意相差甚远，亦不可取。
69.答案A。
【参考译文】如何把海水转换成饮用水是个复杂的问题。
【试题分析】本题为形近词(前缀con结构)的辨析题。
【详细解答】conversion转变；conjecture猜测；concession让步；contraction缩短，如果有一定的词汇量，就不难找出答案，故A为正确答案。
70.答案D。
【参考译文】我正在和Ann通电话，这时突然断线了。
【试题分析】本题为同形近义词辨析题.
【详细解答】hung up和hung back为一类，cut down 与cut off为一类。hung up意为“挂断(电话)”。许多考生会选此项，hung up是由人主动去做，而cut off(中断，切断)是由别人的干预而为的结果，二者意思完全不同。根据题意，两人正在通话时突然中断了电话，而不是他们打完电话之后主动把电话挂掉，故D.cut off为正确选择。cut down 意为“消减，降低”；hung back意为“犹豫，踌躇”等，不能用于此处。

【解题技巧】通过阅读原文从字行里找答案。

Sample Writing
Health
Nothing is more valuable to man than his health.
It is clear that good health is the foundation of happiness. If a man is sick
most of his life, he can hardly be said to be a happy one. He may be always depressed and perhaps pessimistic. Illness may deprive him of confidence, vigor andchances to enjoy the world.Health is also the foundation of one’s success. Sickness may make it impossible for a man to pursue his career effectively. On the other hand if one is in good health he can go all out to overcome the obstacles on his way to success.
In order to maintain and build up our health, we should exercise every day to
strengthen our muscles. We should also keep good hours. Get up early, we can take breath of the fresh morning air which helps us a lot. As the old saying goes: Early to rise and early to go to bed makes one happy and healthy. It is equally important to remember the proverb “Prevention is better than cure.”If we pay attention to our health, we can reduce the chances of getting sick.
Health is more important than wealth. Those who are rich but lose their health
are no more fortunate than those who are poor. If you want your dreams to come
true, please be sure that health is the most important part of your success.
