rain．云预示有可能下雨。/Mom's bad mood is a～of trouble．妈一生气就可能有麻烦。    [解析] 上下文语义及动词的用法上讲，此处应该是可以表示“承诺”之意并能与不定式连用的动词。选项中agree意为“同意”；decide意为“决定”；guarantee意为“保证．担保”； promise意为“许诺，承诺”。虽然guarantee也有保证之意．其后可接从句，但不能接动词不定式。故本题选D。 第20题 A except that B in case C in order that D on condition that 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 从上下文及常理上看，爸爸和姨妈之所以让“我”发誓不告诉妈妈，应该是怕妈妈会担心，空白处可理解为“以免”。选项on condition that意为“以……为条件，倘若”；except that“除了”；in case“万一，以防万一”；in order that意为“目的是，以便于”。符合语意的选项只有in case，故选B。 二、Reading Comprehension（共15小题,共30.0分）Read the following three texts．Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D． 第1题    Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis (gigantic sea waves), and other observable events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes them-selves.    The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indians to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.    This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth's shell, variations in the earth's force of attraction, and the frequency with which minor earth shakes are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in expecting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.    It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructive- ness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will be-come more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A Earthquake destruction is declining. B Earthquake forecast is improving. C Man is no longer fearful of earthquakes. D Man is capable of conquering earthquakes. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 A说地震造成的破坏在降低，与第一段的叙述相否；C说人们对地震不再感到恐惧，与最后一段的叙述相否；D说人们已经有能力征服地震，文章第三段第二句只说科学家对地震发生的时间和地点预测越来越准确，全文中也没提过人们可以征服地震。故B项“地震预测得到改进”正确。 第2题 We can infer from the passage that quakes______. A may happen anywhere at any time B mostly strike in oceans and mountains C are unobservable in masses of land D are hardly the direct cause of fatalities 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 文中第二段介绍了两个地震带：一个在海洋地区一个在山脉地区，由此我们可以推测出地震多发生在海洋和山脉地区，A选项在第二段的末尾有原话，不属于推断出的。C、D两项均与文意相矛盾。故选B。 第3题 The phrase "this element of the unknown" (Paragraph 3) refers to______. A the extension of earthquake zones B the percentage of earthquake occurrences C when and where earthquakes may occur D what big damage earthquakes may cause 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 此题应该结合上下文来看，先提到“they may，however，happen anywhere at any time．”，承接上文又说到现在已经可以对地震预测。所以这里说的不确定性也是指地震发生的时间和地点。A和B选项都不全面。故选C。 第4题 Man's research on earthquake forecast at present is to______. A reduce the loss from earthquake disasters B lower the frequency of earthquakes C release the energy that causes earthquakes D analyze the relationship between different earthquakes 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 此题答案在文章最后一句话"man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur"，B、C、D项都是目前所做不到的。也没在文章中提到，所以A项正确。 第5题 Which of the following describes the author's purpose in writing the passage? A Inform the reader. B Entertain the reader. C Disprove a concept. D Question a concept. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 很明显本文是一篇科普性文章，文章分别从地震的破坏性、发生的主要区域及目前能对地震进行预测进行阐述，目的是传授知识。故A项正确。 第6题    The rate of population growth is fastest in underdeveloped countries. In these countries a high birth rate is accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public health. Ideally it should be possible to counter balance the effect of a reduced death rate by an increased use of family planning.  In practice, however, population control is a complex matter. Throughout history people have determined the size of their families ac-cording to the cultural values of their societies.    Population control has long been a subject of discussion among researchers. Some have argued that the supply of good land is limited. In order to feed a large population, bad land must be cultivated and the good land overworked. As a result, each person produces less in a given amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other researchers have argued that a large population gives more scope for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a large population.    One of the difficulties in implementing birth control lies in the fact that the official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country.  In underdeveloped countries where a large population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural re-sources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birth rate. In a well-developed society the problem may be more complex. A declining birth rate may lead to unemployment because it results in a shrinking market. Cities with a declining population may have to face the prospect of a shrinking tax base and a fall in land values. If there are fewer children going to school, teachers may be thrown out of work. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline. One reason for quick population increase in underdeveloped countries is that______. A those countries encourage people to have large families B people can get government support if they have more kids C improved public health standards have reduced death rate greatly D those countries have enough resources to support a large population 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 答案从文章第一段的前两句话找得。在第一段第二句话末尾提到了“thanks to im- proved standards of public health．”可知，公共健康 标准 excel标准偏差excel标准偏差函数exl标准差函数国标检验抽样标准表免费下载红头文件格式标准下载 的提高是“不发达国家人口增长快”的原因，所以选C。 第7题 The writer suggests that policy makers should consider cultural values______.

Her daily routine was not fascinating. She did everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals. If someone had asked Cinderella, "Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?" She probably would have answered, "Why, none, of course. Housework is my duty!" In the real world, however, most people have definite dislikes for certain sorts of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing clothes and washing dishes.    Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled individually, so ironing a basket of laundry can take hours! After ironing a piece of clothing with great caution, which requires smoothing out the fabric, and following the seams, you need to place it on a hanger as soon as possible. If you do not follow these directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.    Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now! How-ever, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don't come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes by hand, but we are not necessarily happy doing it. Cleaning dishes is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I don't know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do. For Cinderella, doing household work is______. A an assignment B a compulsion C an obligation D a burden 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 文章第一段末尾提到“housework is my duty”意思当然是说做家务是她的 责任 安全质量包保责任状安全管理目标责任状8安全事故责任追究制幼儿园安全责任状占有损害赔偿请求权 ，而不能说成是任务。故选C。 第12题 Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because______. A it has to be done by one person B it must be handled skillfully C it involves careful planning D it is time-consuming 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 从第二段所描述的熨衣服的种种工序和注意事项可以看出熨衣服的确很花费时间， A、B、C三个选项均不能表述出人们讨厌熨衣服的原因所在。故选D。 第13题 To avoid ironing the clothes over again, one should______. A know how to iron certain clothes material B spare no care through all the procedures C find some proper hangers for the ironed D pay special attention to the seams 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 本题答案可从第二段倒数第二句先写到“If you do not follow these directions care- fully，it might become wrinkled and you have to start over．”然后又写到“It calls for ex- treme attention to detail from beginning to end．”可知熨衣服从头到尾都不能走神，要集中精力。C选项只是熨衣服中的工序之一。故选B。 第14题 Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because______. A hand-washed dishes are cleaner B dishwashers are not so easily handled C some dishes cannot be machine-washed D washing dishes by hand is cheaper 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 文章最后一段第三句指出“没有人会争辩说洗碗机洗的碟子、银器，尤其是罐子和平底锅，和手洗的一样干净。”顾名思义手洗的比机洗的干净，故选A项。 第15题 Ironing is different from dishwashing in that______. A it requires patience B it is not a daily routine C it is not laborious D it demands less care 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 答案在文章最后一段倒数第二句“unlike ironing clothes，washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day”中，本句意思是跟熨衣服不一样，洗碗通常是每天都要做的事情。A选项是两者的共性，C、D项提到的是两项劳动中的禁项。故选B。 三、Writing（本大题2小题．每题15.0分，共30.0分。You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2． ） 第1题 Suppose you have made an appointment with your friend at 5 p. m. , but you have some urgent business to attend to and have to cancel your appointment.

My friend just told me she was coming to see me tomorrow. She will arrive at 4 ~ 45 p.m. tomorrow, so I have to go to the station to pick her up. I really feel sorry about it. Can we make it another day? I will be free on Saturday, may- be we can meet on Saturday at 10:00 a. m. If it is also good for you please let me know.    Sorry again for canceling the appointment.

In the picture on the left, the boy ran into the school happily yelling that "I am already a pupil''. He was so proud as well as excited to go to school that even his grandpa who was sending him to school looked pleased. On the contrary, as described in the picture on the right, the boy was very upset when he finished school. And he said "To be a pupil is just to do homework" sadly. Even his grandpa looked depressed.    There must be many such children who are excited to go to school at first but disappointed by the fact that schooling is so boring that the only thing they have to do is the homework.    This situation must be changed. Otherwise, going to school will always be a suffering to the children. none、四（共Reading Comprehension(子母填空)小题,5共分）5.0 第1题 Peter:    My favorite childhood play area was the back garden. Back in the days when I was growing up on a large housing estate, the 'goals' would be a pair of garage doors or two jackets laid out in the garden. I would spend hours kicking a ball about with my dad, learning how to control, dribble or kick it. Simon:    The playground was quite small. The floor was covered with flat bricks and there were many that were cracked or broken or missing, and a few weeds struggled through. It was totally enclosed on one side by the school and on the other by high brick walss. It was more like a prison yard on top of the walls was a layer of concrete into which pieces of broken glass had been stuck. After school was finished my friends and I would climb a lamppost outside the school and sit on top of the wall, slowly breaking off the bits of glass. Alan:    I come from an area of terraced houses, pavements and streets. There were no gardens. My first school was Prince's Street Primary and the room in which 1 received my first lessons had large, folding glass doors that opened onto a small playground that had grass, bushes and flowers. My amazement at seeing these items, which are normal to most of the world, has stayed with me all my life. Nick:    I was strictly forbidden from the obvious playground—a long, overgrown ditch running through waste ground, mainly built to take away the rain. It was irresistible to us local schoolchildren. Its charm, compared with the surrounding tennis courts, football pitches and farmland, was purely because it was out of bounds. That area was truly where I grew up , more than in the rest of the little town's correct and neat suburbia, where my house was. Julie:    Unitl I was twelve I was brought up on airforce camps and each camp had a small play-ground in the middle of the houses. It was always a great meeting place and I remember sit-ting with my friends on the swings many evenings until dark. You would often go out and swing for hours until someone else came out. I always liked swinging.    Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.    Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. I developed sporting skills there. B. I never went straight home from school. C. I enjoyed the feeling of flying. D. My play area was just outside my classroom. E. I enjoyed both being alone and with friends. F. I played in a place dangerous in other's eyes. G. There were some playground equipment around my play area.
