At the end of each conversation you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following questions. Now listen to the conversations 第1题   What are the two speakers doing? A They are having a friendly chat. B One is interviewing the other. C They are talking about each other’s family. D One is asking about the other’s family backgroun 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]  W: First of all, [1] I'd like you to tell me a bit about what you've been doing. M: Well, [3] I left school after I'd done my A-levels. W: What subjects did you take? M: French, German and Art. W: Art? M: Well, I really wanted to study Art. But a friend of my father's offered me a job—he's an accountant in the city. W: I see. [2] In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that? M: Well, to be quite honest, I didn't like it—so I got a place at the Art College a year ago. W: Did your father mind? M: Well, [2] he was rather disappointed at first. He's an accountant too, you see. W: Have you any brothers or sisters? M: [3] Two brothers, both at school. One's eleven, the other's fifteen--taking his O-levels this year. W: Right. What do you do in your spare time? M: I like jazz and folk music; I go to the theater occasionally and act a bit myself. I read quite a lot, and I've done a bit of photography. Also, I've traveled a lot—hitch-hiked all over Europe. W: Very interesting, Mr. Plant. [1] I think that's all I wanted to ask about your background. [解析] 女士一开始便要求男士讲讲他一直在做什么工作，接着针对男士的情况提了很多问题，最后说到她已经了解了男士的背景，由此可知他们在进行interview，因此选项B正确。 [点睛] 主旨大意题。问题询问两个谈话人在做什么，此类题听音时需从整段 内容 财务内部控制制度的内容财务内部控制制度的内容人员招聘与配置的内容项目成本控制的内容消防安全演练内容 来把握主题，找到了主题也就找到了答案。对话中可以听到女士的大部分话语都是在提问，而男士始终在回答相关问题，由此可先排除选项A和C。女士的提问涉及男士的工作、教育。家庭、生活等方面，选项 D只提到家庭背景，表述不够全面。 第2题 Why was his father disappointed at first? A He had done his first job badly. B He had given up his job as an accountant. C He spent too much time on art. D He didn’t do well in the Art Colleg 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 从对话中可以了解男士所从事的会计工作是父亲的朋友介绍他做的，女士问道：“在你的申请书中，你说你只在那家公司做了9个月的会计，为什么?”由此可知他已经辞职，接着男士又提到这让父亲感到失望，因为他父亲也是个会计，因此可知答案为B。 [点睛] 事实细节题。男士虽然说自己不喜欢会计这份工作，但并没有提到自己干得好不好，因此选项A不对；选项C和D都没有提到。 第3题 What was Mr. Plant’s place in the family? A He was the bread earner in the family. B He was the oldest son in the family. C He was the youngest son in the family. D He was his father’s favorite son. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 对话中女士问男士是否有兄弟姐妹，男士的回答很明确：“有两个brother，都在上学，一个11岁，一个15岁，后者今年要参加O-level考试。”而从对话开头可得知男士已经left school，而且已经工作了，所以他肯定是家里的老大，选项B正确。 [点睛] 推理判断题。选项A和D在对话中都没有提到，选项C错误。 第4题   What do the two people mainly talk about? A Whether small children should go to nursery school. B How a nursery school should be managed. C When reading should be introduced to nursery education. D How children like going to nursery school. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]  W: [ ] What do you think of sending three-year-olds to nursery school, Gray? M: That's a good idea. W: Why do you think it's a good idea? M: Because the baby enjoys being around other people of its age. W: But I was thinking of a fairly formal thing, you know, like the kind of programs where you are training a person to go into kindergarten or the first grade. M: [ ] Well, teaching them what? Reading? W: Yeah, not just a play situation. M: I think it depends very much on that family's situation and that particular child. And I think even if it's not a play situation, it's not a bad thing. W: You don't think that maybe you start structuring a person, you know, too much, too soon? I mean, I think our educational system is very structured and very repressive. M: Well, if it's more of the same , thing, I agree. But, Bettie, wouldn't it be possible, uh, to start some sort of creative thing earlier? W: You mean like art? M: [ ] Mm, even like reading is creative... W: [ ] Mm... Well, I'm also thinking, too, about what age a child starts to socialize and I don't think they're ready for socializing outside of the family before the age of about five or six. M: Oh, really? W: There are other ways of socializing, uh... uh, with other children than sending your child off to a nursery school. [解析] 对话开头女土的提问便点出了他们将讨论的话题：“你觉得把3岁的孩子送到幼儿园怎样?”接着他们围绕这一问题展开讨论，由此不难判断选项A为最佳答案。 [点睛] 主旨大意题。解决这类题的诀窍之一，就在于能够抓住提问的句子，尤其是对话开头的提问，因为这很可能就是讨论的核心，而后面则是对细节的阐述或讨论。 第5题 What are the two main points under discussion? A Socializing and honesty. B Schooling and socializing. C Creativity and curiosity. D Reading and educational system. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 对话前半部分提到了reading，play sim-ation，educational system等词，由此可知焦点之一便是“教育”，即选项中的schooling；而对话结尾使用频率最高的一个词莫过于socialize，所以可想而知，socializing是另一个焦点。选项B涵盖了这两个方面，故为正确选项。 [点睛] 事实细节题。本题需要在听音过程中总结对话的焦点，如果不能从正面直接得出答案，可对选项进行排除，从而得出答案。选项A中的 honesty在对话中没有提到；选项C中的curiosity在对话中没有提到；选项D中的reading归属于 educational system，为同一个话题。 第6题 What kind of ability can be developed by reading according to Gray? A Understanding. B Response. C Creativity. D Sense of humor. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 听整段对话，我们可以发现Gray对幼儿园及其教育是基本赞同的，在后半部分Gray提出是否可以早一点让孩子们接触一些创造性的事物，女士马上想到art，而Gray说：“甚至像阅读也是创造性的……”这就表明了他对阅读的态度，由此应该选择C项。 [点睛] 事实细节题。本题询问谈话者对某件事的态度，应该根据对话中的内容进行判断。对话中出现了creative这个词，而选项中有其派生词 creativity，即是答案。此外，做这样的题千万不能带有自己的主观经验和意见，例如认为阅读可以锻炼人的理解能力是普遍的看法，但却不是Gray的看法。 第7题   Charles' shop does NOT sell A cigarettes. B chocolates. C writing paper and envelops. D a fax machin 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]  W: Well, Charles, I must say that your shop is pretty remarkable. [ ]Urn, it's basically a sweetshop, but you also do stationery, greeting cards, tobacco and fireworks... M: And newspapers. W: And newspapers. Ah. And apart from all that, you've got photocopiers... M: That's right. W: And a fax machine. M: Indeed. W: Yes. How did... I mean, why the photocopiers? M: Everything that's happened in my shop has almost happened by accident. [ ]But when I got into Clifton, I needed a photocopy one day and no one could tell me where to go. So it struck me that if I didn't know where to go, other people were in the same situation, so that's why I started it. And then I added on a facsimile machine because it seemed like a natural progression at the time. And all sorts of people use it. W: Yes, who, what sort of people do use it? M: [ ] Um, a lot of professional people—surveyors, engineers—particularly people who need to send, plans. [8] Because in the past you could send messages via telex, but a telex can't express a plan, whereas facsimile has that dimension, the added dimension. W: Right. And do people send these fax messages abroad, or is it just to this country? M: Well, it's surprising because when I started, I thought I'd be sending things to London and maybe Birmingham, [9] but in fact, a high percentage of it is sent abroad, because it's immediate, it's very speedy. [解析] 对话中谈到Charles’ shop主要是一个糖果店，但也出售文具(stationery)、贺卡(greeting cards)、烟草制品(tobacco)、炮竹(fireworks)等等商品，并提供复印传真服务，而不是出售传真机，故答案D正确。 [点睛] 事实细节题。题目要求选出NOT的一项，所以需要对听到的内容进行一一排除，从而得到答案。 第8题 According to Charles, people send messages via facsimile because A it is cheaper and faster than ordinary mail. B it is faster and not much more expensive than mail. C it can send things that could not be expressed by telex. D the Royal Mail could not reach places abroa 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 对话中谈到人们使用传真机是因为电报不能传送 设计 领导形象设计圆作业设计ao工艺污水处理厂设计附属工程施工组织设计清扫机器人结构设计 图，而传真机可以，故正确答案为 C。 [点睛] 事实原因题。选项A、B、D的内容对话中没有涉及，不符合题意。 第9题 What can we learn from the conversation? A Charles bought a photocopier because all sorts of people need it. B Charles bought a photocopier by accident. C There was no place nearby to provide the photocopy service. D Few people send fax messages abroa 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 对话中谈到商店提供复印服务是因为没有人知道哪里可以复印，隐含着附近没有提供复印的地方，故答案为C。 [点睛] 推理判断题。对话中谈到有a high percent- age的人发传真到国外，故选项D排除。选项A、 B的内容在对话中没有提及。 第10题 Who do NOT use the facsimile machine according to the conversation? A Engineers. B Shopkeeper. C Professional people. D Surveyors. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 对话中谈到许多professional people需要传真服务，只有shopkeeper除外。 [点晴]事实细节题。此题答案在对话中明确讲到，同时仔细看选项会发现只有shopkeeper和其他三选项不属同一个范畴，答案应不难得出。 五、Listening Comprehension (News Broadcast)（共10小题,共10.0分）In this section, you will hear several news items. Listen to them carefully and then answer the questions that follow. 第1题   Which countries sponsored the measure? A France, Russia and the United States. B The United States, Britain and Russia. C France, Britain and the United States. D France, Britain and Chin 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]   The U.N. Security Council adopted a resolution strongly encouraging Syria to establish formal diplomatic ties with Lebanon. [ ] The measure sponsored by France, Britain and the United States also calls for the two neighbors to set their common border. [ ] Thirteen of the Council's 15 members voted in favor of the resolution. China and Russia abstained. Washington's U.N. Ambassador John BoRon said he would have preferred a unanimous vote. But he called the resolution an important step in implementing previous Council demands for the disarming of militias and the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Lebanon. [解析] 新闻提到，促进叙利亚与黎巴嫩正式建交的措施是由法国、英国和美国提议的，故选项C为正确答案。 [点睛] 此题根据中国和俄罗斯在投票时弃权(abstain)的举措，可知选项A、B、D不对。 第2题 How many states of the Council’s were there approving the resolution? A 15. B 13. C 50. D 30. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 新闻提到，安理会15个成员国中有13个投票通过了该决议，故选项B为正确答案。 [点睛] 数字细节题。听音时应注意英语数字中-teen和-ty发音的区别。 第3题   When did the incident happen? A In last October. B In last December. C In February. D In last November. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] [ ]The incident took place last November in the Iraqi town of Haditha.

Other reports charged that the U.S. Marines on the scene shot the civilians to retaliate for losing their comrade. [解析] 新闻提到，这个事件发生在去年11月，故选项D为正确答案。 [点睛] 时间细节题。预读时应确定时间为本题听音重点。 第4题 According to the military, the death of the Iraqi civilians was caused by A a car explosion. B an insurgent bomb. C the shooting of the U.S. Marines. D a suicide bom 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 新闻提到，美国军方说，15名伊拉克平民因为暴动者的炸弹(an insurgent bomb)而死亡。故选项B为正确答案。 [点睛] 干扰项为C。题目考查的是military的观点，而新闻最后提到的Other reports charged...说明美国军队射杀伊拉克平民是某些报道的观点。 第5题   The football match is played between A Turkish team and Greek team.

Mark the best choice for each blank on Answer Sheet Two. 第1题 The homeless make up a growing percentage of America’s population. (1) homelessness has reached such proportions that local governments can’t possibly (2) . To help homeless people (3) independence, the federal government must support job training programs (4) the minimum wage, and fund more low-cost housing. (5) everyone agrees on the number of Americans who are homeless. Estimates (6) anywhere from 600,000 to 3 million. (7) the figure may vary, analysts do agree on another matter: that the number of the homeless is (8) . One of the federal government’s studies (9) that the number of the homeless will reach nearly 19 million by the end of this decade. Finding ways to (10) this growing homeless population has become increasingly difficult. (11) when homeless individuals manage to find a (12) that will give them three meals a day and a place to sleep at night, a good number still spend the bulk of each day (13) the street. Part of the problem is that many homeless adults are addicted to alcohol or drags. And a significant number of the homeless have serious mental disorders. Many others (14) not addicted or mentally ill, simply lack the everyday (15) skills needed to mm their lives (16) Boston Globe reporter Chris Reidy notes that the situation will improve only when there are (17) programs that address the many needs of the homeless. (18) Edward Zlotkowski, director of community service at Bentley College in Massachusetts, (19) it, "Them has to be (20) of programs. What’s needed is a package deal.\ A Indeed B Likewise C Therefore D Furthermore 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 本段第一句话中提到“无家可归者在美国人口中所占的比例越来越大”，空格后说到“无家可归的人所占比例如此之大，以至于地方政府……”，下文是对前文的解说和强调。四个选项中只有A项Indeed(的确，确实)符合题意。 [点睛] 关联词题。B项Likewise为表示对比关系的副词，意为”相似的”，C项There from表示因果关系，均不符合题意。D项是强干扰项。注意Furthermore表示递进，本外前后两部分表达的意思基本一样，因此不是递进关系；后文是前文的进一步解释与强调说明。例如：Mr. Yang is 82 years old．Indeed，he is old enough to be her grandpa. 第2题 A stand B cope C approve D retain 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 原文所提供的信息是：“无家可归的人所占比例如此之大，以至于地方政府……”。选项B意为“对付，处理，对抗，与困难作斗争并且克服它们”，符合题意。例如：Facing unprecedented problems，the Federal Reserve of the early 1930s couldn't cope．(20世纪30年代初，联邦储备银行面对一些前所未有的问题，无计可施。) [点睛] 语义逻辑题，兼考查词义辨析。A项stand意为“经受，抵抗”，例如：stand the test of time(经受时间的考验)。它与cope的意思非常接近，但在本题中不能与that前的逻辑宾语proportions搭配，故排除。C项 approve意为“同意，赞成”，D项retain意为“保留，保持”，均与题意不符。 第3题 A in B for C with D toward 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 原文意为“帮助无家可归者达到独立”。D项toward意为“达成，意在达到，以……为目标”，例如： efforts toward peace(以和平为目标所做出的努力)。 [点睛] 词义逻辑题。C项with可与help构成搭配to help sb．with sth.，但此句型表示的是“帮助某人做某事”，与题意不符。例如：help me with my French(帮助我学习法语)。其他选项不与help构成惯用搭配。 第4题 A raise B add C take D keep 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 原文列举了一系列减少无家可归者数量的政府措施：“支持就业培训项目；……最低工资；资助建设更多低价住房”。根据上下文语义逻辑，此处空格应表示“增加”之义。故选择A项raise。 [点睛] 语义逻辑题，兼考查词义辨析。B项add也意为“增加”，但它的宾语一般是具体数字，例如：add 300 dollars to his normal wage。 第5题 A Generally B Almost C Hardly D Not 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据下文的“对无家可归者数量的估计从60万到300万不等”可知本句表达的意思应为“并非每个人的意见都一致”。 [点睛] 语义逻辑题。A项Generally与B项Almost表示肯定含义，予以排除。C项Hardly与D项同样表示否定含义，但Hardly只能与anyone等词搭配，表示“几乎没有任何人”，不能与everyone搭配，故予以排除。注意all，every等词可与not连用，表示部分否定。 第6题 A cover B change C range D differ 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据搭配原则，range from...to...为固定搭配，表示“自……至……不等”。 [点睛] 固定搭配题，兼考查上下文逻辑。B项change from...to...表示“由……变为……”，例如：In autumn the leaves change from grin to brown．(秋天树叶由绿变黄。)这里没有变化的语义逻辑，故排除。D项 differ可与from搭配，表示“不同于，和……意见不一致”，但不能说differ from...to...。 第7题 A Now that B Although C Provided D Except that 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据逗号前后的两个分句的动词vary和agree可以看出，前后显然构成转折让步的逻辑关系，所以 B项Although为正确选项。 [点睛] 关联词题。由于原句上下文不存在因果或条件关系，所以A项Now that(既然)与C项Provided(倘若)均不符合题意。D项Except that意为“除……之外”，与题意不符。 第8题 A inflating B expanding C increasing D extending 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 本题可以从全文的主题当中索解，文章首句便提到“无家可归者在美国人口中所占的比例越来越大 (growing percentage)”，本空格要与growing构成呼应，当然应该填入increasing。此外，本题也可以从选项的考查内容，即表示数字增长的词的词义辨析，来发现解题线索。 [点睛] 词义辨析题，兼考查语义逻辑。A项inflating意为“膨胀”，B项expanding意为“面积或体积方面变大，扩张”，D项extending意为“在长度上的延伸”，用法和词义均不符。 第9题 A predicts B displays C proves D discovers 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 下文提到“无家可归者的人数在本年代末将会达到近1900万”，说的是未来的情形，A项predicts表示“预计、预测”，正好符合上下文语义。 [点睛] 语义逻辑题，兼考查词义辨析。B项displays意为陈列，展览”，不符合上下文语义。C项proves与D项discovers后面的宾语从句通常接一般现在时，与原句空格后的将来时态不符合。 第10题 A assist B track C sustain D dismiss 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 从下文来看，此段主要讲的是如何全面地改变这批无家可归者的生活状况，不仅要给他们吃住，还要解决其他一系列的问题，由此可推断出前文的句意为“想办法帮助这些越来越多的无家可归者的任务变得越来越艰巨”，故选择A项。 [点睛] 语义逻辑题，兼考查词义辨析。要解决此类题，可以从上下文语义逻辑直接推断空格所缺失的信息，然后进行匹配。解答本题时首先就要寻找缺失的信息“帮助”(help)，观察选项，发现没有help，但有help的近义词assist，于是判断assist正确。 第11题 A Hence B But C Even D Only 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 本题主要考查考生对上下文逻辑关系的理解。从主句中的still一词可以看出，前后构成让步的逻辑关系，所以C项Even为正确选项。 [点睛] 关系连词题。注意本题与上句不存在因果关系，因此可排除A项Hence。此外，hence一般用在无动词短语中，不引导句子。 第12题 A lodging B shelter C dwelling D house 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 四个选项中只有B项shelter可用来表示“避难所，收容所(为无家可归的人提供暂时栖息场所的机构)”，与题意最为贴切。 [点睛] 词义辨析题。A项lodging通常用来指寄宿处，租住的房间”，C项dwelling则意为“房屋，公寓，住宅”，这两项都只表示住所，与下文“提供食宿”矛盾。D项house一般指“楼房”，用在此处则语义太窄，也与文意不符。 第13题 A searching B strolling C crowding D wandering 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 原句意为“还是会有很多人每天大部分时间流落街头”，此题答题的关键在于区分B项strolling和D项wandering。stroll表示“悠闲地散步”，而wander则表示“漫无目的地游荡，流浪”。显然，D项更符合题意。 [点睛] 词义辨析题，兼考查语义逻辑。 第14题 A when B once C while D whereas 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 从上下文逻辑关系来看：前句提到很多无家可归者沉迷于喝酒吸毒，并且患有严重的精神错乱疾病”，后句提到“其他的一些无家可归者不酗酒不吸毒，精神也正常”，前后句显然构成并列关系，四个选项中只有while表示并列关系。 [点睛] 关联词题。A项when与B项once均为表示时间顺序的连词。D项whereas表示转折，其后为语义重心，此处不合题意。 第15题 A life B existence C survival D maintenance 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此题的答题关键在于区分life skills(生活技能)和survival skills(生存技能)。既然是正常的“无家可归者”，那他们缺乏的是“生存能力”，而不是在社会中与人交往、处理日常事务的“生活能力”。故本题选C项。 [点睛] 词义辨析题，兼考查语义逻辑。 第16题 A around B over C on D up 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 原句意为“他们缺乏生活技能来改变自己的生活”，turn around意为“转变，使转好”，符合句意。 [点睛] 语义逻辑题，兼考查固定搭配的含义。turn on意为“打开”；turn up意为“找到，发现，出现”；turn over意为“翻转”。 第17题 A complex B comprehensive C complementary D compensating 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 记者Chris Reidy指出“只有通过……，这种局面才有可能得到改善”。本题的线索显然在于下文 address the many needs of the homeless(解决这些无家可归者的各种需求)，“能够处理多重需求的”显然只能是comprehensive programs(全面的规划)，因此B项为正确答案。 [点睛] 语义逻辑题，兼考查词义辨析。A项complex强调复杂性；C项complementary强调互补性；D项 compensating强调补偿性，均不符合题意。 第18题 A So B Since C As D Thus 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 本题和第49题一起构成一个句型：as sb. puts it意思是“正如……说的那样”。例如：As the President puts it, “We have no choice but to develop our education，or we'll fall behind．”(正如总统所说，“我们别无选择，只有发展教育，否则就会落后。”)故本题选择C项的As，49题选择A项puts。 [点睛] 关联词题。as是关系代词，引导非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句。 第19题 A puts B interprets C assumes D makes 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 本题见第48题题解。 [点睛] 固定搭配题，兼考查词义辨析。 第20题 A supervision B manipulation C regulation D coordination ' 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 从本题所在句来看，它要表达的意思是“项目与项目间要……，我们需要的是一揽子 计划 项目进度计划表范例计划下载计划下载计划下载课程教学计划下载 (package deal)”。由于coordination的英文含义就是cause to function together efficiently，正好和上下文呼应，所以正确答案就是coordination(协调)。 [点睛] 语义逻辑题，兼考查词义辨析。A项supervision意为“监督，管理”，B项manipulation意为“操纵”，C项 regulation意为“调节，校准”，均不符合题意。 七、Grammar and Vocabulary（本大题30小题．每题1.0分，共30.0分。There are several sentences in this section. Beneath each sentence there are four words, phrases or statements marked A, B, C and D. Choose one word, phrase or statement that best completes the sentence. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet Two. ） 第1题 The match was cancelled because most of the members ______ a match without a standard court. A. objected to having B. were objected to have C. objected to have D. were objected to having 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查动词object的用法。object是不及物动词，意为“反对”，与介词to连用，再接名词或动名词作宾语，所以正确答案为A。 第2题 ______ human behavior may be caused by eating substances that upset the delicate chemical balance in the brain. A. Deliberate B. Consistent C. Primitive D. Abnormal 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查形容词辨析。abnormal与normal相对，表示“反常的”，符合题目的语义及用法要求。deliberate表示“深思熟虑的，故意的”；consistent指“一致的，相容的”；primitive指“原始的，简单的”。 第3题 The mere fact ______ most people believe nuclear war would be madness does not mean that it will not occur. A. what B. which C. that D. why 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查同位语从句的连接词。从句子结构可以看出，fact后面是同位语从句，该从句中不缺少成分，只需要一个连接词，只有that可引导同位语从句。 第4题 The course normally attracts 30 students per year, ______ up to half will from overseas. A. in which B. for whom C. with which D. of whom 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查“介词+关系代词”引导非限定性定语从句。在本题中，先行名词是students，因此选项A、C可排除。根据题意，空格处应表示“其中”之意，故用 “of+whom”结构。 第5题 In 1840, both Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton resented ______ proper seating at the World’s Antislavery convention in London because of their sex. A. refusing B. to be refused C. being refused D. having refused 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查resent的用法。resent后接名词或动名词作宾语，根据句意的要求(被拒绝)，应使用动名词的被动语态形式，因此选项C正确。 第6题 Very. few people could understand the lecture the professor delivered because its subject was very ______. A. intriguing B. indefinite C. obscure D. dubious 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查形容词辨析。题目说没有几个人明白教授的讲座，证明它太难以理解，obscure意为“晦涩的。费解的”，强调“难以理解”这个含义，为正确答案，又如：This poem is obscure．I really don't understand it.(这首诗很费解，我真的看不懂。)intriguing意为“引起好奇心或兴趣的，有迷惑力的”。indefinite意为“不确定的，不明确的”，如：My plan remains indefinite．I don't know how to tell you about it(我的计划还未确定，我不知道怎么跟你说好。)dubious意为“可疑的，含糊的”，如：She always takes other people's compliment as dubious．(她总是怀疑别人对她的恭维。) 第7题 Bit by bit, a child makes the necessary changes to make his language ______. A. as other people B. as other people’s C. like other people D. like other people’s 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查介词用法。as和like都可以表示“像……一样”，但as是连词，后跟句子，like是介词，后跟名词或名词性短语。又因为比较的对象是language，所以要用名词性属格形式other people's，故选项D为正确答案。 第8题 He plays squash to the ______ of all other sports. A. eradication B. exclusion C. extension D. inclusion 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查名词辨析及固定搭配。短语to the exclusion of意为“把……除外，排斥”，例如：A leading member should never concentrate all his attention one or two problems，to the exclusion of others．(一个领导人不能把全部注意力只集中在一两个问题上而不顾其他。)eradication意为“根除(疾病、问题等)”； extension意为“延伸，范围”；inclusion意为“包含”。 第9题 There are several landladies approved by the university who take in ______. A. ledgers B. residents C. inhabitants D. settlers 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查名词辨析。lodger “临时住宿者”，与题目中的landladies属于同一语境．为正确答案。resident“居民，定居者”，与Visitor相对；inhabitant“居住者，居民”；settler“殖民者，移民者，定居者”。 第10题 The residents, ______ had been damaged by the earthquake, were given help by the government. A. all their homes B. all whose homes C. all of whose homes D. all of their homes 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查非限定性定语从句。根据句子结构，空格处要填写引导非限定性定语从句的关系代词。选项A和D均没有苯系代词，故需要排除；又因为all和whose不能连用，必须加of连接，所以选项B也错误。因此正确答案为C。 第11题 Had he worked harder, he ______ the exams. A. must have got through B. would have got through C. would get through D. could get through 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查虚拟语气。本句的从句是一个省略if的倒装句，即If he had worked harder，这是对过去事实的虚拟，因此主句要使用would have done，因此正确答案为B。 第12题 Laura would have been more considerate if she had changed a little bit,______? A. hadn’t she B. hasn’t she C. wouldn’t she D. didn’t she 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查虚拟语气句的反义疑问句。反义疑问句一般应与主句的主语和谓语保持对应关系，主句的谓语部分为would have been...，因此反意疑问句应为wouldn't she。 第13题 I told him that I would ______ him to act for me while I was away from office. A. identify B. authorize C. rationalize D. justify 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查动词辨析。au出prize意为“授权”，符合题意，为正确答案，又如：He was authorized to repossess the Olympic medal．(他获准可以重新拥有那块奥运奖牌。)identify意为“识别，鉴别”；rationalize意为“使合乎理性，使合理”；justify意为“证明……是有道理的”。 第14题 After seemed an endless wait, it was her turn to enter the personnel manager’s office. A. that B. there C. what D. it 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查宾语从句连接词。在本题中，介词after后为宾语从句，从句中缺少主语成分，所以要用关系代词 what。 第15题 I can not understand a decision until it is too late. A. his postponing making B. his postpone making C. his postponing to make D. him to postpone to make 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查动词用法。understand及postpone后均用动名词作宾语，因此选项A正确。 第16题 Digital recording has made ______ a significantly wider dynamic range, in recorded music. A. for the possibility B. the possibility is C. it is possible D. possible 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查make的用法。本句考查make sth．possible这一固定搭配，意为“使……成为可能”。根据句子结构可知a significantly wider dynamic range在句中作make的宾语。在英语中，如果宾语较长，则往往后置，因此以上结构转变成了make possible sth.，由此可以看出只有选项D为正确答案。 第17题 The school committee hoped that their choice of play would be ______ with the students and. their parents. A. recognized B. popular C. favorable D. fascinated 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查形容词辨析及搭配。popular意为“讨人喜欢的；得人心的；受欢迎的”，be popular with意为”受……的欢迎”，为正确答案。recognized意为“被赏识的；受表彰的”，不与with连用；favorable意为“赢得赞许的；讨人喜欢的”，但后面不能接with；fascinated意为“被迷住的，被弄得神魂颠倒的”，后面接by。 第18题 The police got some ______ information about their plans. A. inner B. inside C. inward D. interior 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查形容词辨析。这四个由in-构成的词均有“内”的含义。inside指“里面那一侧的”，常用于以下词组：the inside lane(公路靠右侧的车道)，即慢行道，inside information(内部消息)。inside可以加-r，即insider“内部人士”，其反义词为outsider “局外人”。inner含有比较意义，指“更内层的”，如同心圆中里面的圆就叫 the inner circle。inward的-ward与forward的-ward一样，表示方向，指“向内的”，有藏之于内的意思。interior指一座建筑物“内部的”，一个国家“内部的”或“内地的”，如：interior decoration(室内装潢)。 第19题 America will never again have as a nation the spirit of adventure as it ______ before the West was settled. A. could B. did C. would D. was 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查助动词。从意义来看，空格应填had，但主句中的have是实义动词，为避免重复，可用助动词代替，即用did代替had，故选项B为正确答案。 第20题 Geoffrey Chaucer occupies a ______ place in English literature. A. most unique B. least unique C. very unique D. unique 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查unique的用法。unique“独一无二的”不能用于比较级或最高级，前面也不能用副词修饰。 第21题 There are many who believe that the use of force ______ political ends can never be justified. A. in search of B. in pursuit of C. in view of D. in light of 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考杳词组辨析。与political ends搭配的只能是in pursuit of “在追求……时”，它们之间有逻辑上的动宾关系。in search of意为“寻找”；in view of意为“鉴于，考虑到，由于”；in light of意为“根据，按照；考虑到”。 第22题 The ______ of the flood, which caused thousands of people to lose their houses, was 3 weeks of torrential min. A. source B. origin C. root D. resource 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查名词辨析。origin“起源，起因”，指事物后来发生、发展变化的最初起点，或指人的出身和血统，如：words of Latin origin(源于拉丁语的词)。source指河流、泉水等的发源地，常指抽象事物的根源或来源或资料、信息的出处或来源，如：the source of strength(力量的源泉)。root “本质，根本”，喻指事物最初、最根本的起因，如：the root of all evil(万恶之源)。resource常以复数形式出现，表示“资源，财力”，如：natural resources(自然资源)。本句指洪水的“起因”，所以origin为正确答案。 第23题 Because of the ______ noise of traffic I couldn’t get to sleep last night. A. progressive B. provocative C. perpetual D. prevalent 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查形容词辨析。perpetual意为“永久的，永恒的，长期的”，常指没有间断的，经常性重复发生的，符合题意，又如：The first experience in work will have perpetual influence on his future．(第一次工作经历将会永久地影响他的未来。)progressive意为“进步的，累积的，渐进的”；provocative意为“煽动的，挑衅的”； prevalent意为“流行的”。 第24题 Although I liked the appearance of the house, what really made me decide to buy it was the beautiful ______ through the window. A. vision B. look C. picture D. view 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查词语辨析。View指“景色，风景”，如a house with good view“风景优美的房子”；也可指“观点，见解”，如：in view of(鉴于；考虑到)，with a view of(为了，目的在于)。vision “视力，远见，洞察力，幻影”； look”看，注视，脸色，面容，外表”，如：an angry look(愤怒的神情)；picture “画；照片；图像；画面”。 第25题 It was not the first time he ______ . I think it’s high time we ______ to take him seriously. A. take us in... begin B. had taken us in... began C. has taken us in... began D. took us in... begin 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查从句时态。It is/was the nrst time...其后的从句应使用现在完成时或过去完成时。而It's (high/about)time that从句中的谓语应使用一般过去时。由此可见，选项B为正确答案。 第26题 His strong sense of humor was ______ make everyone in the room burst out laughing. A. so as to B. such as to C. so that D. such that 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查固定搭配。such可作代词，表示“……到了某种程度”，在句中作表语。空格后为动词短语，因此用 as to连接，故选项B正确。so是副词，不能作表语，所以选项A、C错误；such that后面要接从句，所以选项 D错误。 第27题 He set up in business ______ his own and was very successful. A. in B. of C. on D. by 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查固定搭配。on one's own(=by oneself)意为“独自”，符合句意要求。in和by都不与one's own构成搭配；of one's own表示“某人自己的(东西)”，如：I have a flat of my own．(我自己有套房子。) 第28题 They have decided to ______ physical punishment in all local schools. A. put away B. break away from C. do away with D. pass away 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查词组辨析。do away with意为“废除，取消”，能与punishment搭配，为正确答案。put away意为“把……收起，收好；贮存；放弃(想法)”；break away from意为“从……逃走；逃脱”；pass away多为不及物用法，意为“停止，消逝；去世”。 第29题 Every year, one student in our high school wins a scholarship that ______ one year of college. A. improves B. subsidizes C. obliges D. inflicts 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查动词辨析。subsidize意为“给……津贴；资助”，符合题意。improve意为“改进，改善”；oblige意为“施恩惠于，帮……忙”inflict意为“予以(打击)；使遭受(损伤，苦痛等)”。 第30题 It is due to the invention of the computer that man has been able to work so many wonders in the past few years. A case ______ is the successful launching of space shuttle. A. in point B. in question C. in a way D. in brief 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 考查词组辨析。in point“恰当的，切题的”，a case in point意为“恰当的例子”，故A为正确答案、in question意为“正被谈论的，被考虑的”；in a way意为“从某种意义上来说”；in brief意为“简而言之”。 八、Reading Comprehension (Comprehension)（共20小题,共20.0分）In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet Two. 第1题 In such a changing, complex society formerly simple solutions to informational needs become complicated. Many of life's problems which were solved by asking family members, friends or colleagues are beyond the capability of the extended family to resolve. Where to mm for expert information and how to determine which expert advice to accept are questions facing many people today. In addition to this, there is the growing mobility of people since World War Ⅱ. As families move away from their stable community, their friends of many years, their extended family relationships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable. The almost unconscious flow of information about the simplest aspects of living can be cut off. Thus, things once learned subconsciously through the casual communications of the extended family must be consciously learned. Adding to societal changes today is an enormous stockpile of information. The individual now has more information available than any generation, and the task of finding that one piece of information relevant to his or her specific problem is complicated, time-consuming and sometimes even overwhelming. Coupled with the growing quantity of information is the development of technologies which enable the storage and delivery of more information with greater speed to more locations than has ever been possible before. Computer technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in machine-readable files, and to program computers to locate specific information. Telecommunications developments enable the sending of messages via television, radio, and very shortly, electronic mail to bombard people with multitudes of messages. Satellites have extended the power of communications to report events at the instant of occurrence. Expertise can be shared worldwide through teleconferencing, and problems in dispute can be settled without the participants leaving their homes and/or jobs to travel to a distant conference site. Technology has facilitated the sharing of information and the storage and delivery of information, thus making more information available to more people. In this world of change and complexity, the need for information is of greatest importance. Those people who have accurate, reliable up-to-date information to solve the day-to-day problems, the critical problems of their business, social and family life, will survive and succeed. "Knowledge is power" may well be the truest saying and access to information may be the most critical requirement of all people. The main problem people may encounter today arises from the fact that A they have to learn new things consciously. B they lack the confidence of securing reliable and trustworthy information. C they have difficulty obtaining the needed information readily. D they can hardly carry out casual communications with an extended family. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 首段末句。 [解析] 细节题。文章首段末句提到去哪儿寻找专家信息以及如何确定接受哪条专家建议成了当今许多人面临的问题。只有选项C是该句的同义转述，为正确答案。 [点睛] 正确选项往往是对文中细节的概括。关键是定位main problem...today在文中的位置。 第2题 The word "it" (Line 3, ParA 2) most probably refers to A. the lack of stable communities. B. the breakdown of informal information channels. C. the increased mobility of families. D. the growing number of people moving from place to place, 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第2段第2句和第3句。 [解析] 推断题。根据文章第2段第2句话中的with可知其引导的是伴随的状态，与该句的第2个分句有着紧密的逻辑关系，所以可推断it指and前的(也即第2个分句)“the informal flow of information is cut off”。因此判断B项正确。此外，联系下一句可更确定“所指代的意义。 [点睛] 此题是结合长难句的理解考查代词指代的意义。因此理解上下文的逻辑关系是解题关键。 第3题 The word "overwhelming" in the 3rd paragraph most probably means? A humiliating. B permanent. C too difficult to overcome. D too troublesome to hold on. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第3段末句。 [解析] 词义题。文章第3段最后一句中的even一词表明overwhelming的程度比complicated和time-consuming更严重，即表明情况更为复杂，更难以解决，由此可见选项C为正确答案。 [点睛] 选项D是本题的干扰项。虽然too troublesome在程度上与原文有递进关系，但该选项中的hold on与原文该句的finding相矛盾，因此可排除。而选项A和B与原文中的complicated和time-consuming不构成递进关系。 第4题 From the passage we can infer that A electronic mail will soon play a dominant role in transmitting messages. B it will become mere difficult for people to keep secrets in an information era. C people will spend less time holding meetings or conferences. D events will be reported on the spot mainly through satellites. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第4段第3句。 [解析] 推断题。根据原文该句可推断通过电子邮件传递信息将是主导。因此答案是A。 [点睛] 另外三项不合理，选项B在文中并未提及；选项C具有强干扰性，第4段倒数第2句表明电讯的发展使人们开会方便，但这并不代表开会的时间缩短；选项D中的mainly无原文支持。 第5题 We can learn from the last paragraph that A it is necessary to obtain as much knowledge as possible. B people should make the best use of the information. C we should realize the importance of accumulating information. D it is of vital importance to acquire needed information efficiently. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 末段。 [解析] 主旨题。最后一段显然带有明显的总结特点，首句是该段的主题句。接下来第2句进一步指出那些拥有准确可信的最新信息并用来解决各种问题的人才能生存并取得成功，更加强调了有效获取信息的重要性。因此判断选项D正确。 [点精]选项A重点在as much knowledge as possible，选项B侧重the best use，可是本段重点不在如何利用，而在获取有用的信息。选项C没有限定怎么样的information，而原文的重点是“有用的”信息。 第6题 The Westlife story really began way back in December 1996 when the three original members of Westlife were performing in a local production of the musical Grease. Shane Filan, Klan Egan and Mark Feehilly were all born and bred in Sligo, a small town a few hours west of the Republic of Ireland’s capital city, Dublin. During breaks the three would get together and sing covers of some of their favorite songs including Boyz Ⅱ Men’s I Make Love To You. The reaction to their singing was so positive that they decided to form a band as soon as they had finished their exams at school. This they duly did and on July 3 1997 they formed I.O.U. The boys organized concerts in the area and even produced their own CDs to sell locally. This local success led to an appearance on TV that was to prove extremely important. Among the viewers who saw the trio perform in a children’s hospital was Boyzone’s manager, Louis Walsh. Soon after Shane’s mother contacted him about I.O.U. and found he had been desperately trying to get in contact with them. Louis Walsh decided to hold auditions to recruit two new members in Jude of 1998. This is when Nicky Byme and Bryan McFadden, two Dublin boys and friends entered the picture. A quick name change and Westside was born. Yes, WESTSIDE. This was to be the quintet’s name until they discovered another band already using the name and a final change to Westlife was called for, The final link in the chain was Ronan Keating, Boyzone’s lead singer, who at Louis Walsh’s request joined him to help and nurtured this raw talent. His experience proved an invaluable help. The next step was to secure a record deal. The band organized a showcase in Dublin and soon reprentatives of every, major record label were offering the bewildered boys contracts. In October 1998 Westlife signed to RCA, a label that had a proven track record with the successful marketing of both Take That and Five, Barely had the ink on the contract dried when they headed out on tour as part of the Smash Hits Show, which led to them winning the Best New Tour Act in December 1998 (this was an award Boyzone themselves had won in 1994 which seemed like a pretty good omen). Styled by Kenny Ho, who was responsible for The Spice Girls image, Westlffe’s first single Swear It Again was released in March 1999. In their native Ireland it went straight to number one and became the biggest selling debut single in the history of the Irish charts. A month later Swear It Again repeated the feat in the UK, staying at number one for two weeks and following on from Boyzone’s dominance of the UK top spot. This success was soon matched all around Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. They look set to repeat their success now in the USA. A tour throughout the States has meant Swear It Again is rapidly climbing the Billboard charts. This is the good news the boys needed as Bryan McFadden recently suffered nervous exhaustion and had to miss some shows while recuperating back in Ireland with his family, blot only that but Ronan Keating’s solo plans have forced him to give up his co-managing duties due to lack of time. More good news, though, is they have recently recorded with Mariah Carey and are due to begin work on their second album. Before the I.O.U. was formed, its members were A neighbors. B classmates. C co-performers. D playmates. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 首段三句。 [解析] 推断题。首先要明白I.O.U。的成员是指第2句中提到的Shane Filan，Kian Egan and Mark Feehilly，根据首句和第3句的描述，只能推断三位成员是一部音乐剧的演出者，即选项C。 [点睛] 原文第2句虽有提到三位成员来自同一个城镇，倒敷第2句提到他们完成学校的考试，但这不足以证明他们是邻居、同学或玩伴，因此其他三个选项都不正确。 第7题 The TV appearance was extremely important to the I.O.U. because A they got to know Louis Walsh at the show. B their talents were recognized by Louis Walsh. C they got great local success. D it was their first concert on TV. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第2段最后两句。 [解析] 推断题。结合第2段最后两句可以知道Louis Walsh看到了他们的演出后一直想办法联络他们，也就意味着Louis Walsh很欣赏他们的演出，由此可见，选项B为本题答案。 [点睛] 选项A不正确，因为Louis Walsh是在他们演出之后一段时间里才联络上他们的，他们并不是在电视演出时就立刻认识；其他两个选项只是使用了原文的一些字眼来混淆因果关系，事实上并不符合题意。 第8题 "The quintet’s name" (Line 3, ParA 3) most probably means A. the name of a five-member group. B. the name of an outstanding group. C. the name which will soon become popular. D. the name which will never be forgot. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第3段倒数第3句。 [解析] 词义题。结合第3段开头三句说到的乐队的组成和取名的过程，以及倒数第3句中提到的后来发现已有另一个乐队使用相同的名字等信息，该句也表明Westside将成为这个乐队的名字，因此可以推断the quintet's name指的就是“这个乐队的名字”，而“这个乐队”指的就是有五个成员的乐队，因此本题答案应为选项A。 [点睛] 其他选项对这个名字的定义都是将来才会发生的(如果是事实的话)，也就是说，在给乐队取名的时候并不知道这个乐队是否能如B、C、D选项所说的一样。当时能确定的只是这个乐队有五个成员，因此其他选项都不符合上下文。 第9题 Which group held a dominant position in the UK’s pop music before the winning of Westlife? A Boyzone. B The Spice Girls. C Boyz Ⅱ Men. D Take That. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第6段倒数第2句。 [解析] 细节题。根据第6段第3句中的following on from Boyzone's dominance可推断在此之前居英国流行乐坛首位的应该是Boyzone乐队，因此答案为A。 [点睛] 其他三个选项虽然都是乐队的名称，但是只要定位原文就可以发现它们不符合题意。 第10题 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the last paragraph? A Bryan McFadden will have to give up the second album. B Mariah Carey has taken Ronan Keating’s role. C Westlife might be upset about Ronan Keating’s withdrawal. D Westlife will have the second album recorded in the U.S. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 末段。 [解析] 推断题。末段第3句提到了Bryan McFadden患病这个坏消息，第4句的not only that but表明 Ronan Keating的退出对于他们来说也是坏消息，这在某种程度上会影响Westlife的成员，因此选项C为正确的推断。 [点睛] 原文第3句只提到Bryan McFadden患病需要修养，但原文没有相关信息表明他是否要放弃第二张唱片的录制，故选项A不正确；Ronan Keating是乐队的管理者，而末句提到Mariah Carey只是与Westlife合唱，所以Mariah Carey并没有取代Ronan Keating的角色，故选项B不对；原文没有提到录制第二张唱片的地点，因此选项D也不正确。 第11题 More and more of the world's supply of seafood is coming from farms. Although 80% of the world's seafood comes from marine harvests, there is a major shift under way toward aquaculture now. Nearly 40% of salmon marketed today are raised in captivity, compared with 6% a decade ago. Forty percent of all clams, oysters, and mussels are produced in farm environments, along with 65% of freshwater fish. Between 1990 and 1996, fish-farming production rose from 12.4 million to 23 million tons worldwide, writes Anne Platt McGinn in an article for World Watch magazine. "The fact that world seafood supplies continue to increase at all is due almost entirely to the phenomenal growth in aquaculture," says McGinn, a research associate at the World Watch Institute. Commercial aquaculture is driven by rising human population at a time when over harvested wild fish stocks are in decline and conventional farm production has leveled off. Biotechnology is contributing to high-yield aquaculture through transgenics—the transfer of genes from one species to another. Researchers introduce desirable genetic traits into fish, creating hardier stocks. For example, some species of fish have a protein that allows them to live in Arctic waters. By transplanting this "anti-freeze" gene into other species, researchers have created more fish that can survive in extremely cold water, according to Ag-West Biotech, Inc., in Saskatchewan, Canada. Biotechnologists are attempting to improve a wide range of genetic traits in fish used for aquaculture, developing fish that are larger and faster-growing, more efficient in converting feed into muscle, more tolerant of low oxygen levels in water, and better able to resist disease. Researchers also are seeking plant-based sources of food as a more efficient alternative to fishmeal. The use of plant protein on fish farms could take some of the pressure off wild fish stocks and address the problem of phosphorous pollution because plants do not contain high phosphorus levels. Wheat, canola, and canola oil are being used as alternative feed for aquaculture, according to Ag-West Biotech, Inc. While aquaculture produces a reliable source of protein, the industry is rife with environmental problems, asserts McGinn. Perhaps the biggest concern is water pollution: Fish waste and uneaten food accumulates at farm sites and can float directly downstream into water supplies. Farm-related nutrient wastes as well as nitrogen and phosphorus also promote the spread of algal "blooms" that deplete oxygen and kill marine life. Aquaculture is also an inefficient user of resources, McGinn charges. Fish farms need protein feed, andabout 17% of ocean fish, an over harvested wild resource, becomes food for captive-bred fish. "An estimated five kilograms of oceanic fish reduced into fishmeal are required to raise one kilogram of farmed ocean fish or shrimp, representing a large net protein loss," says McGinn. Fish fanning does not have to be an inefficient or polluting industry. McCdnn predicts that many consumers will choose sustainably produced fish in the future, just as they prefer dolphin-free tuna today. All the following statements are the reasons why commercial aquaculture is pushed forward EXCEPT A the human population is increasing fast. B the wild fish stocks are decreasing due to over fishing. C the cost of developing aquaculture is comparatively low. D there is no improvement in conventional farm production. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第4段末句。 [解析] 细节题。第4段末句提到了三个刺激水产养殖业快速发展的原因，只有C项不是原因之一。注意题干中的EXCEPT。 [点睛] 根据提干中的关键词commercial aquaculture定位于第4段末句，便可确定正确答案为选项C，其他三个选项文中该句均有提到。 第12题 Biotechnology has already enabled more fish to A change feed into muscle more efficiently. B stand low oxygen levels in water. C tolerate extremely cold water. D grow larger and faster. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第5段末句。 [解析] 细节题。第5段末句表明利用转基因技术成功培育出抗冻能力强的鱼类，故选C。 [点睛] 其他三个选项中的事例在第6段提及，但原文首句中的are attempting to表明它们都是研究人员正在努力去实现的，而不是已经实现了的，故均不正确。 第13题 Which of the following is the defect of fishmeal? A It doesn’t contain much protein necessary for fish. B It is not so easily developed as the plant alternatives. C It creates serious phosphorous pollution. D It is not as diverse as the plant alternatives. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 倒数第4段第2句。 [解析] 推断题。倒数第4段第2句指出了植物鱼饲料和传统饲料相比之下的优点，反过来说，传统饲料具有相对应的缺点，即该句中所说的磷污染问题。因此本题应选选项C。 [点睛] 选项A提到了蛋白质的问题，根据倒数第4段第2句和倒数第3段首句可以知道，水产养殖业的传统饲料包括野生鱼类，野生鱼类有丰富的蛋白质，由此可见选项A的说法是不正确的，其余两个选项在文中并未提及。 第14题 The author's attitude towards aquaculture is A optimistic. B negative. C indifferent. D uncertain. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 末段首句。 [解析] 观点题。根据末段首句可以推断作者认为水产养殖业在利用率和防污染方面都将有所改善，因此可以看出作者对水产业是乐观的，因此选项A最恰当。 [点睛] 文中虽然有多处批评水产养殖业造成的问题，但是那些都是McGinn的看法，而非作者的看法，因此其他三个选项分别意为“否定的’、“漠然的”和“不确定的”，都不能恰当形容作者的态度。 第15题 According to McGinn, aquaculture will most probably become ______ in the future. A the major resource of seafood B a pollution-flee industry C the major source of protein D an industry of sustainable development 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 末段末句。 [解析] 推断题。末段末句中表明McGinn预测将来人们将选择可持续生产的鱼类，这就意味着水产养殖业将来应变成可持续发展的产业，才能满足将来人们的需求，因此本题应选D。 [点睛] 根据第3段McGinn所述，可以推断水产养殖业是海鲜的重要来源，但并不一定是major resource，因此选项A不正确；由末段首句似乎可以推断将来水产养殖业会变得无污染，但要注意的是，该句并不是 McGinn的看法，而是作者的看法，所以选项B不对；选项C提到的在第8段首句就有提到，但这并不是将来水产业的发展趋势，而是水产业的现状，因此也不正确。 第16题 Is there any evidence that the standard of English as a foreign language has improved in the years since the Second World War? Naturally, as it is the world language, more and mere people are taught it and use it. But do they speak it or write it or understand it better than their patents' or grandparents' generations? Have standards declined? There is no objective way of answering this question. Tests of the traditional sort— compositions, pr6cis writing, and so on—have always been subjective, so they cannot be used to judge whether people have got better or not over the years. But so-called objective tests are useless as a measure of progress too. They have not been used consistently in the same "concentration" over the period they have been in use, so there is no way of comparing exams "now" and "then". Moreover, usually in the form of multiple choice questions, they do not, by and large, test the things that really count in mastering a language. Even comprehension is a partly "creative" activity in real life, as we have to think of possible meanings for ourselves rather than have them suggested for us from outside. And people can be trained in the techniques of multiple choice, while others fail the tests because they have been led astray precisely by their "suggestive" nature, so they are not really objective at all. We are left with only personal impression to go on. My own is that, if anything, standards have declined somewhat in the last thirty or forty years, despite all the new theories, tools and techniques that have been developed. I am not alone in this judgment In Sweden, for instance, Professors Johannes Hedberg and Gu.slav Kofien, two of the most experienced workers in the field; have on several occasions drawn attention to the lack of progress in the teaching of foreign languages since the late fifties. Yet Sweden is a sophisticated society with extremely high educational and academic standards, and very concerned not to be cut off from the rest of the world. If such a country cannot achieve advances in the study of foreign languages, it is unlikely that many, if any, others have done so. Japan is another community where remarkably little progress has been made in the learning of English. It is probably as important for Japan as for Sweden to master that language, and there is much academic effort put into linguistic research of various kinds. Yet the average standard of language learning is abysmally low, particularly for such a highly literate and educated society. This is no doubt in part the result of a vicious circle: many of the professors of English at Japanese universities are themselves incapable of speaking or writing or even understanding the language well. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A Multiple choice questions are objective because people cannot be trained any techniques. B Sweden emphasizes the teaching of English without paying attention to other countries. C We have to depend on our own impression to judge the English standards. D Compositions are useful to test people's English ability because people have to write out their viewpoints. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第2段末句。 [解析] 细节题。文章第2段通过对传统的较主观的英语水平测试手段和当今所谓客观测试法进行透彻 分析 定性数据统计分析pdf销售业绩分析模板建筑结构震害分析销售进度分析表京东商城竞争战略分析 ，在段落末句得出结论，选项C表达了与该句相同的意思，故为本题答案。 [点睛] 第2段倒数第2句指出做多选题也是有技巧的，故选项A不对；第3段倒数第2句指出瑞典很注重不与外界社会隔离，故选项B不对；第2段第2句中的结果分句与选项D的主句意思相反，故不选D。 第17题 The passage indicates that those who failed tests may be misled by the "suggestive nature" of A the choices. B the reading materials. C the objective tests. D the techniques of multiple choic 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第2段倒数第2句。 [解析] 词义题。本题实际上考查的是该句中their的所指。第2段从第3句的but转折句开始的主题便是objective tests，接下来的几句均在证明其实质并不客观。且their所在的分句与该句的最后一个分句构成因果关系。因此，两个分句中的their和they所指一致，都指objective tests，即选项C正确。 [点睛] 代词的所指通常会在其上下文提到。选项B上下文设有提及，可首先排除。选项A和D虽皆有提及，但它们只是证明objective tests不够客观的细节支持，且在意思上不能与该句的最后一个分句中的they保持一致性，因此都不正确。 第18题 The so-called objective tests cannot be used as a measure of progress because A the contents are changing all the time. B the tests do not always focus on the same thing. C the processes of scoring are different. D they contain too many reading comprehension questions. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第2段第3句和第4句。 [解析] 细节题。文章第2段第3句与第4句构成了内在的因果关系，第3句为结果(即题干)，第4句为原因，选项B与第4句内容相同，因此选项B为本题答案。 [点睛] 另外三个选项均未在原文提及。 第19题 What is the author's attitude towards present English standards? A Positive. B Indifferent. C Objective. D Negativ 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 第3段首句。 [解析] 观点题。第3段首句提到的作者认为standards have declined表明作者对英语水平持否定的态度，因此应选D。 [点睛] 选项A是指“肯定的”，选项B是指“不关心的”，选项C是指“客观的”，均不能适当表达原文作者的态度。 第20题 What might the author most probably continue to talk about in the following passage? A What's the most objective way to test one's English standards? B How to improve the present low level of language learning? C Why have the English standards declined? D What are the benefits if Japanese people can learn English well? 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [定位] 全文。 [解析] 推断题。本文是议论文的部分节选，文章在开篇提出问题“有证据表明人们视之为外语的英语水平有所提高吗?”属于议论文中提出问题部分；接下来作者提出观点后并举例论证，属于议论文分析问题部分；按此推断，下文将进入解决问题部分，即如何能提高现有的英语水平，故选选项B。 [点睛] 其他三个选项都是针对某个细节问题展开，在对整篇文章的布局上不起作用，故均不可选。 九、Listening Comprehension （Passages）（共10小题,共10.0分）In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow. 第1题   When did the first award ceremony take place? A In 1895. B In 1901. C In 1962. D In 1968. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]   After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. [ ]Sixty-seven years after the first award ceremony, Economics was added in 1968. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. [ ] Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judge's decision. [ ] Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War Ⅱ. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared prizes. [解析] 短文中说，第一次颁奖仪式后67年后，于1968年增设了经济学奖。故第一次颁奖仪式应为1901年。 [点睛] 数字计算题。本题需要进行简单的计算。预读时应确定与年份有关的数字为听音重点，要明确各年份相对应的事件。干扰项A中的1895年是诺贝尔建立此项基金的时间，而不是第一次颁奖仪式的时间。 第2题 According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT uae? A Awards vary in monetary value. B Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel’s invention. C Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners. D A few individuals have won two awards. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析]根据短文所说，12月10号是诺贝尔的逝世(death)纪念日，而不是纪念他的发明，故B的表述不对，为答案。 [点睛] 事实细节题。本题需对照选项一一排除正确的表述。文中分别提到：奖项金额从3万到 12.5万美元不等；政治在评委的决定中起着重要的作用；偶尔有人两度获奖。故A、C、D都是正确叙述。 第3题 According to the passage, Americans have probably received the most awards in A literature. B peace. C economics. D scienc 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 短文中说，美国人获得了很多科学奖 (science awards)，由此轻松选出D。 [点睛] 事实细节题。预读题目，确定此题听音重点是美国人得到最多奖项的领域。根据短文，美国人很少获文学奖，而和平奖与经济学奖只在前面说到奖项设置时提及，在文中与美国人无关。 第4题   What is the main topic of the passage? A Energy conservation. B Transportation of the future. C Strip cities. D Advantages of air transportation over railroads. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]   Although I think the United States generally has an excellent system of transportation, I do not think that it does a good job of transporting people between cities that are only a few hundred miles apart. A person commuting between Detroit and Chicago, or between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the so-called "strip cities", may spend only a relatively short time in the air, while spending several hours getting to and from the airport. This situation makes flying almost as time-consuming as driving. Moreover, airplanes use a lot of their fuel just getting into the air. [ ]They simply are not fuel efficient on short trips. High speed trains may be an answer. One fairly new proposal for such a train is for something called a maglev, meaning a magnetically levitated train. [ ] Maglevs will not actually ride on the tracks, but will fly above tracks that are magnetically activated. [ ] This will save wear and tear on the tracks. These trains will be able to go faster than 150 miles an hour. At that speed, conventional trains have trouble staying on the tracks. [ ] As you can see, maglevs offer exciting possibilities for the future. [解析] 本文开头指出美国相邻几百公里城市之间的交通并不令人满意，此时航空和公路都没有优势，最后指出了磁悬浮列车(maglev)为解决将来的交通提供了可能。由此可知B为正确答案。 [点睛] 主旨大意题。本文没有明确说明主旨的句子，从文章中提到的transportation，airplanes， trains，maglev等可知A、C与主题无关；而D中的advantage与文中的time-consuming相悖，且也不是主旨所在。 第5题 When are airplanes not fuel efficient? A On short trips. B On long trips. C When flying over cities. D When flying at high altitudes. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 短文提到，飞机在短途旅行时并不是 fuel efficient，故A为正确答案。 [点睛] 事实细节题。预读时可发现选项A和B相反，答案很可能是其中一个。听音时抓住题目中的not fuel efficient，便能轻松得到答案。 第6题 How does a maglev operate? A It uses nuclear energy. B It rests on a cushion of pressurized air. C It flies over magnetically activated tracks. D It uses a device similar to a jet engin 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 短文中说，磁悬浮列车实际并不是在轨道上(on the tracks)行驶，而是悬浮在磁力驱动的轨道上方(above tracks)，C项把above同义替换成over，故为正确答案。 [点睛] 事实细节题。文中并未提到磁悬浮列车使用核能、依靠压缩气垫以及使用类似于喷气发动机的装置等，故A、B、D不合题意。 第7题 According to the speaker, what is one advantage of the maglev? A It is more comfortable than a conventional train. B It doesn't require very much track maintenance. C It doesn't remain in any station very long. D It carries more passengers than a conventional train. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 短文中提到。磁悬浮列车轨道save wear and tear，理解了wear and tear意为“损耗，磨损”，即可推断出B为正确答案。 [点睛] 推理判断题。文中未提及磁悬浮车的舒适程度、停站时间及载客量等信息，故A、C、D不合题意。 第8题   What is the speaker’s field of study? A Social work. B Medical care. C Applied physics. D Special education. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]   Born and raised in central Ohio, I'm a country girl through and through. [ ] I'm currently studying to be- come a physical therapist, a career path that marks a great achievement for me. At Ohio State University, ad- mission into the physical therapy program is intensely competitive. I made it pass the first cut the first year I applied, but was turned down for admission. I was crushed, because for years I have been determined to become a physical therapist. [ ] I received advice from friends and relatives about changing my major and finding, another course for my life. I just couldn't do it. I knew I could not be as happy in another profession. So I stilled myself, began to work seriously for another year and reapplied. Happily I received notice of my admission. Later, I found out that less than 15% of the applicants had been offered positions that year. [ ] Now in the first two years of professional training, I couldn't be happier with my decision not to give up on my dream. My father told me that if I wanted it badly enough, I would get in. Well, Daddy, I wanted it. So there. After graduation, [ ] I would like to travel to another country, possibly a Latin American country and work in a children's hospital for a year or two. So many of the children there are physically handicapped but most hospitals don't have the funding to hire trained staff to care for them properly. I would like to change that somehow. [解析] 短文开头说话人提到，自己正在学习并将成为一名Physical therapist，由此可知她的学习领域为医学方面，故B正确。 [点睛] 事实细节题。同义替换原则，原文中的 Physical therapist指医学方面的物理治疗家，主要注意Physical并非是指“物理学的”。 第9题 According to the speaker, ______ contributed to her admission to Ohio State University. A the timely advice form her friends and relatives B the two-year professional training she received C her determination to fulfill her dream D her parents' consistent moral support 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 短文提到，我很开心自己没有放弃梦想，这表明是说话人追求梦想的决心支持着自己，故答案为C。 [点睛] 事实细节题。根据短文，说话人的亲戚朋友都建议她换专业，A项和题意相反；而说话人在入学后，现在处于第一个为期两年的专业训练中，故B不正确；短文只提到了父亲，没有提到母亲，D也不对。 第10题 The speaker wants to go to a Latin American country to A get the funding for the hospitals. B help the disabled children there. C train therapists for the children there. D set up an institution for the handicappe 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 短文最后说话人提到，自己会去拉美国家的儿童医院工作一两年，那里很多儿童都身患残疾，但大部分医院没有资金雇用受训过的员工去照料他们，由此可知说话人去拉美国家的目的是去照料残疾儿童，选项B正确。 [点睛] 事实细节题。预读时可确定说话人去拉美国家的目的为听音重点。根据原文中的work in a children's hospital，联系说话人的目标 physical therapist，可排除A、C、D选项。 跟多 试卷 云南省高中会考试卷哪里下载南京英语小升初试卷下载电路下试卷下载上海试卷下载口算试卷下载 请访问《做题室》www.zuotishi.com
