You should write at least 100 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below: ） 第1题 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of On Being Volunteers. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.    1．现在很多大型活动都需要志愿者；    2．做志愿者的利弊；    3．如果我有机会做志愿者的话，我会…… On Being Volunteers 【正确答案】： 答案: [高分作文] On Being Volunteers    With China becoming increasingly prosperous by the day, large-scale events such as world expositions and sports games frequent this hot land, virtually all of which are thirsty for a large number of volunteers.    Apart from gaining some working and social experiences, the realistic advantages to serving as a volunteer are also obvious. Volunteers for the World Expo in Shanghai, for instance, may visit any pavilion after work, which makes them the envy of billions of queuers; likewise, volunteers of Beijing Olympics got allowances, quality uniforms, free riding of bus and metro, etc. More beneficially, their experience may add luster to their resume in job-hunting. But as the saying goes, "A penny has two sides. " The disadvantages to being volunteers are also elephants in the room. Doing voluntary jobs is undoubtedly time-consuming, and to those students, the majority of volunteers, the sacrifice is not only time but their school work. Besides, longtime exposure to various unexpected weather may do great harm to their health.    But anyway, if I have a chance to be a volunteer, I am sure to try my utmost, because during the course, I will learn how to carry out better team work and how to cope with emergencies, etc. , thus I will mature sooner than otherwise. [本题分数]： 106.0 分 【答案解析】 [评析]    这是一篇以分析某现象的利弊为主的说明文。    第一段用一句话说明了现在很多大型活动频频在中国举办(with引导的短语简要指出原因：中国日益繁荣)，它们都需要志愿者这一现象。其中语言亮点有increasingly修饰形容词prosperous，表示“越来越”；by the day表示“日益”；large-scale events表示“大规模的活动”；frequent作动词，表示“频频发生”；virtually修饰all，表示“几乎”；of which介词+关系代词，引导定语从句，使句型出现变化；be thirsty for使用了拟人的手法，表达“迫切需要”。    第二段分析了做志愿者的利弊。第一句以Apart from开头，引出了两个“利”——获得工作、社会经验以及一些现实性的好处，随后举了北京奥运会和上海世博会作为后者的例证(likewise自然地把两个例子衔接到了一起)，并用More beneficially说明前者对找工作更有帮助。在转折到“弊”时，用了谚语(But as the saying goes, "A penny, has two sides.")，而成语elephants in the room表示“明显的”，也是闪光用词。Besides连接了两个弊端——耗费时间、影响健康。    最后一段表明了自己的态度——如果有机会，将竭尽全力做好志愿者，同时简要说明了理由：学会合作和应急以便更快地成熟起来。开头的But anyway“但不管怎样(尽管有上述的弊端)”属于过渡词，把第二段和第三段自然衔接到了一起。 二、Cloze（共20小题,共70.0分）There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

During the pause, you must read the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D], and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. 第1题 A He saw the big tower he visited on TV. B He has visited the TV tower twice. C He has visited the TV tower once. D He will visit the TV tower in June. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Did you visit the television tower when you had your vacation in Shanghai last summer? M: I couldn't make it last June, but I finally visited it two months later. I plan to visit it again sometime next year. Q: What do we learn from the man?    [解析] make it在美国口语中是个常用短语，意思是“做成某事”。本题是个数字题，根据选项，需要从说话人的叙述中推出他到底去过电视塔几次。根据对话我们知道他去年8月去过了，明年还要去，因此其实是去过一次。 第2题 A He has to work with his brother. B He has no definite plans. C He usually works on weekends. D His plan depends on the woman. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Thank heavens it's Friday.

Drama is a better alternative than those brushes(我没有画画的天赋，戏剧是个比画画好的选择)。have a talent for sth. 是“有……的天赋”，brushes“画笔”，指代画画。女士的回答告诉我们她已经不学画画而改学戏剧了。 第4题 A He will put on his gloves as the woman suggests.

The school's bookstore ran out for quite some time. W: Have you tried the one near the Sam's? I heard they still have a few copies left. Q: What does the woman suggest the man to do?    [解析] Sam's是一个商店的名字，女士说Have you tried the one near the Sam's?其实是在建议男士到Sam's旁边的这家店看看。对话里涉及了三个店：the school's bookstore、Sam's和tile one near the Sam's，听对话时必须搞清楚三者的关系以及供书情况。 第6题 A To go to watch the final in the TV room. B To go to see a movie since he has two tickets. C To go to see the final live since he has two tickets.

Wouldn't it be better to watch it live? Q: What does the man suggest?    [解析] 典型的建议题。但必须要懂得live的含义，对话里watch it live和选项里see the final live都是“到现场去看决赛”的意思。对话中的match和final也暗示这是比赛而不是电影或音乐会，因此可以排除B和D，A陈述事实错误。 第7题 A She thinks it's too late anyway. B She thinks he shouldn't wait a minute. C She thinks he should do things earlier. D She thinks there might still be a chance even if it is the last minute. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: I can't talk for long. I'd better get my paper printed if I still have time. W: Why do you always wait till the last minute? Q: What does the woman mean?    [解析] wait till the last minute“等到最后一分钟”，口语惯用语，暗指总是把事情拖到最后才做。女士用的是疑问句，其实是嗔怪男士为什么不早些做这件事。A、B、D全是对原意的扭曲。 第8题 A The man took up much of the professor's time. B The man didn't make any trouble with Prof. Johnston. C The man has trouble getting along with Prof. Johnston. D The man knew Prof. Johnston was very busy. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Professor Johnston has been very busy this month. I've heard that he stays up very late every night. M: If I had known this I wouldn't have troubled him so much. Q: What do we learn from the conversation?    [解析] 男士说的话用了虚拟语气，表示与实际情况相反。实际情况是他不知道教授很忙，而且给教授带来不少麻烦。B、D是对对话原意的错误理解，C是对短语trouble sb. so much的误解。 第9题 A The country. B Another country. C Cornfield. D Birmingham. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 19-22 W: No luck then, John? M: I'm afraid not, ma'am.  Not yet, anyhow. We're still checking on stolen cars. W: Mm. M: Where do you think he'll head for, ma' am? W: Well, he definitely won't try to leave the country yet.  He may try to get a passport, and he'll certainly need clothes and money. He'll probably get in touch with Cornfield for those, so I expect he'll make for Birmingham. M: Right.  I'll put some men on the house. W: Yes, do that.  Mind you, I doubt if he'll show up there in person.  Hammond's no fool, you know. I should think he'll probably use a telephone. M: What about his wife? W: Mm. I shouldn't think he'll go anywhere near her—though he might get her to join him after he's left the country. And when he does leave, he probably won't use a major airport, either. So you'd better notify the coastguard, and keep an eye on the private airfields. M: Right, ma' am.  I'd better get his description circulated. W: Yes. He may change his appearance, of course.  And John--be careful. He could be armed. And if I know Hammond, he certainly won't give himself up without a fight.    19. According to the woman, where might the wanted person first go?    [解析] 开头部分男士问嫌疑犯可能去了什么地方，本题答案在女士的回答中。她认为嫌疑犯没有护照，暂时不会逃到国外，他会先从Cornfield那里拿护照，并搞些钱和衣服。cornfield为人名，住在Birmingham，故选D项。 第10题 A He might get his passport. B He might get some money and clothes. C He might make himself armed. D He might make a call. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] How will the wanted man probably get in touch with Cornfield according to the women?    [解析] 嫌疑犯找Cornfield要做的事情包括A项和B项，参见第19题分析。对话中女士还分析嫌疑犯不会show up there in person, in person意为“亲自”，而会use a telephone。C项文中最后才提到，与cornfield没有什么关系。所以D是正确选项。 第11题 A He will meet her in another country. B They will go to another country together. C He will leave her in the country. D He will appear somewhere near her. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What will the wanted man deal with his wife?    [解析] 这个问题的答案比较明显，就在对问题What about his wife的回答中。Join sb. 的意思是“与某人会合，与某人碰头”。 第12题 A By air. B By car. C By sea. D By train. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] According to the police, how will the wanted man try to leave the country?    [解析] 有考生可能会通过notify the coastguard，判断嫌疑犯会选海路出逃，其实女士安排男士通知海岸警卫队的目的是防止嫌疑犯乘私人飞机从private airfield逃跑。 第13题 A They lived in groups and were cave people. B There were societies in Ice Age. C They were advanced in arts. D They had a smart way of building shelters. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 23-25 M: Hey, Jane.  What's so interesting? W: What? Oh, hi, Tom.  I'm reading this fascinating article on the societies of the Ice Age. M: The Ice Age? There weren't any societies then, just groups of cave people. W: That's what people used to think.  But a new exhibition at the American Museum of National History shows that Ice Age people were surprisingly advanced. M: Oh, really? In what way? W: Well, Ice Age people were the inventors of languages, art and music as we know it. And they didn't live in caves. They built their own shelters. M: What did they use to build them? The cold weather would have killed almost all of the trees, so they couldn't have used wood. W: In some warmer climates, they did build houses of wood.  In other places, they used animal bones and skins or lived in natural stone shelters. M: How did they stay warm? Animal skin walls don't sound very sturdy. W: Well, it says here, that in the early Ice Age, they often faced their homes towards the south to take advantage of the sun. M: Hey, that's pretty smart! I guess I spoke too soon.  Can I read that magazine article 'after you're done? W: No problem.    23. What did the man originally think of the people of the Ice Age?    [解析] 男士对冰河时代的人类知之甚少，觉得当时他们不过是穴居种群，还没形成社会．女士给他讲了从杂志上看来的很多惊人的发现。所以选项中只要关于当时人类的积极评述都不是男士最初的观点。 第14题 A By staying in their animal skin houses. B By making their homes facing south. C By bathing themselves in the sun. D By burning trees. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] How did people in the early Ice Age keep warm?    [解析] 本题的答案是通过问题引导出来的，关键要熟悉动词face作动词时的用法，表示“(使……)面对，朝向”故faced their homes towards the south意为“使房子坐北朝南”，以便充分利用光照(to take advantage of the sun)。 第15题 A Read the book quickly. B Speak slowly. C Tell him more about the Ice Age societies. D Lend him the magazine. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What does the man want the woman to do?    [解析] 男士以比较委婉的方式向女士借书，前面的I guess I spoke too soon. 为后面说Can I read that magazine…?作铺垫。 四、Reading Comprehension（共10小题,共90.0分）There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. 第1题    The large American energy service company, Enron, failed a few years ago. It had been the seventh largest company in the United States. More than twenty people have been charged with financial crimes related to the company's hidden debt, inflated (夸大的) profits and accounting risks.    On January 22nd, Enron's former chief accounting officer faced charges of helping Enron cheat investors and others. Richard Causey said he is not guilty. He says he believed all of Enron's financial records were correct. He says he followed rules called the Generally Accepted Accounting Standards.    The government says Mr. Causey used his knowledge of accounting to make Enron look profitable. The government says Mr. Causey sought to gain from his actions by causing the price of Enron stock to increase. The government has charged Mr. Causey with planning businesses related to Enron, called partnerships. Enron used financial exchanges with partnerships to hide big financial losses. The government says these exchanges do not meet the requirements for real business exchanges. This is because only Enron's money was at risk.    Mr. Causey is an important person in the Enron case. The charges came soon after another top official of Enron agreed to a deal.    Andrew Fastow was the chief financial officer at Enron.  On January 14th, he admitted guilt for two criminal acts. He will be sentenced to ten years in prison. Fastow had faced more than ninety separate charges. The deal depends on evidence he will offer in the future.    Fastow admitted that he hid the financial situation at Enron by using partnerships.  He admitted using partnerships for his own gain. He has been forced to return more than 23 million dollars and other property to the government.    Fastow and other former Enron officials have admitted guilt.  They are expected to give evidence that will be used against Mr. Causey.    What is different between the two cases is that Mr. Fastow has confessed to cheating Enron. Mr. Causey is charged with cheating investors and others. The passage mainly discusses ______. A Enron's misuse of partnerships B the failure of Enron in America C two cases of Euron's top officials D Enron's hidden financial situation 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 主旨题。文章主要介绍的是这两个案件的详细情况以及两位被告各自所犯下的罪行，故答案为C。 第2题 According to the government, Mr. Causey ______. A followed rules called the Generally Accepted Accounting Standards B misused his knowledge of accounting to cheat investors and others C was the one who had brought about financial losses for Enron D had cheated both sides of the partnerships that he had planned 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 细节题。用Mr. Causey进行定位，根据第三段第一句The government says Mr. Causey used his knowledge of accounting to make Enron look profitable以及文章最后一句可知答案为B。 第3题 What did Richard Causey claim? A He had nothing to do with the increasing price of Euron stock. B He was maneuvered by even higher-ranking officials. C He just meant to save Euron from going bankrupt. D He is innocent because he did everything according to the regulations. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 细节题。根据Richard Causey首先查找到第一次出现这个名字的第二段，其中出现了三遍said/says，即claim，将三部分内容概括得出D为答案。 第4题 According to the passage, one common feature of the two cases is that ______. A both have managed to cheat the company of Enron, the investors and others B both have admitted guilt and been announced guilty for what they have done C both have returned all the money they had gained by means of partnerships D both Mr. Causey and Mr. Fastow had done illegal things for their own benefits 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 细节题。根据第三段第二句The government says Mr. Causey sought to gain from his actions by causing the price of Enron stock to increase以及倒数第三段第二句He admitted using partnerships for his own gain可知本题答案为D。 第5题 It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A the two cases are found to be closely connected B the two accused were close partners in the dealing C Enron began to lose money because of the two's cheatings D Causey owns little knowledge about accounting law 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 推断题。根据两个案件的细节描述以及倒数第二段第二句They are expected to give evidence that will be used against Mr. Causey可知这两个案件的关系非常紧密，故答案为A。文章并没提这两个人的关系，故B无依据；C中“安然亏损问题”是被隐瞒的事实，不是他们造成的问题；Causey是明知故犯，而非不懂法，故D错。 第6题    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says it expects the world economy to grow more than 4% both this year and next. Its chief economist says these could be the best two years since early this century.    But the IMF also says interest rates are very low and will have to rise in the future. When rates are low, more people borrow money to buy things like homes and businesses.  Prices increase. The IMF says property values in Britain and some other countries may be too high now. However, it warns that prices could fall sharply if interest rates rise too fast.  Some countries also worry that large United States budget deficits (赤字) could harm the current recovery. The Bush administration says it will cut those deficits.    The World Bank and IMF held their spring meetings last week in Washington where they are based. This year is their sixtieth anniversary. Protests outside were mostly peaceful. And they were smaller than before.  Protesters called on rich nations to cancel the debt of poor ones. A report by the IMF and World Bank says private investment in developing countries is again increasing. The report says money is flowing to Brazil, China, Mexico and Russia.  But it says poorer nations, especially in Africa, are not part of this growth.    Before the meetings, World Bank President James Wolfensohn said the world is out of balance. He said one sixth of the population owns eighty percent of the wealth. At the same time, another one in sixth people lives in extreme poverty. Mr.  Wolfensohn urged developed countries to open their markets and increase aid. He also urged developing nations to improve their governments and to build good legal and financial systems.

D England. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 26-28    The United States of America is a country made up of different races. The original Americans were the Indians. The so-called white men who then reached the new continent were mostly from England. But many came from other countries like France and Germany.    One problem in America is discrimination. When newcomers came to the U. S. A. , they found they were discriminated against, first the Irish and Italians, later the blacks. At last almost every group could escape this discrimination except the blacks. Believe it or not, the worst discrimination today is towards the Indians.    One reason why the Indians are discriminated against is that they have tried to keep their identity. But they are not the only people who have done so. The Chinese have Chinatown in New York and the Japanese have their Little Tokyo in L.  A.  and the Dutch have their enclosed settlement in Pennsylvania. The Dutch live separately for religious reasons rather than keeping together for their identity.    All races helped make the United States a great country. Many people still come from other countries to help America grow. A good example is the American project that let a man walk on the moon. It was a German scientist who was most responsible for doing that. It is certain that in the future the U.S.A. will still need the help of people from different races to remain a great country.    26. Where did most of the first white people in the U.S.A.  come from?    [解析] 细节题。本文介绍美国种族歧视的现象。听短文之前，通过浏览选项得知本题问的是地点，听的时候要对地点特别敏感，一听到“The so-called white men who then reached the new continent were mostly from England”就可在D这个选项旁做好标记，但是要作出正确的选择，必须抓住句中的关键词mostly(主要地，大部分)，因为随后你会听到“But many came from other countries like France and Germany”，可是，为何不能选择A或c呢?因为关键词mostly告诉我们，来到这块新大陆的白人尽管有法国人、德国人，但是绝大多数的是来自英格兰的白人，所以正确答案为D。 第2题 A The Irish. B The Blacks. C The Chinese. D The Indians. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Which group of Americans is discriminated against the most?    [解析] 事实题。通过浏览选项可知，本题问的是与“哪个国家的人”有关的话题，听短文时对此要一一 记录 混凝土 养护记录下载土方回填监理旁站记录免费下载集备记录下载集备记录下载集备记录下载 相关信息，听到“At last almost every group could escape this discrimination except the blacks.”时可能以为是B，但后来又明确听到“Believe it or not, the worst discrimination today is towards the Indians.”可知，如今美国受到歧视最严重的是印第安人，所以正确答案为D。 第3题 A The Blacks are discriminated against the most nowadays in America. B The Chinese have Chinatown in New York for religious reasons. C An Irish scientist helped Americans walk on the moon. D Each race plays a great role in keeping the United States as a great country. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?    [解析] 综合判断题。如果第二题作出了正确的选择，就可以判断选项A的说法不正确。通过浏览其余选项可知，在听短文时，我们要特别关注下面两个事实：纽约唐人街的出现是否因为宗教的原因，帮助美国人登月的科学家是否是爱尔兰人。原文告诉我们，目前在美国最受歧视的是印第安人，不是黑人，所以选项A不对；因为宗教原因而集中生活有别于其他种族的人是荷兰人，不是中国人，所以选项B不对；帮助美国人登上月球的科学家是德国人而不是爱尔兰人，所以选项C不对；文章最后一段表明，美国要继续保持强大需要住在那里的所有种族的共同努力，“It is certain that in the future the U. S. A. will still need the help of people from different races to remain a great country.”所以选项D为正确答案。 第4题 A Teachers who needs tips for taking class attendance. B Teachers who can't remember students' information. C Students who want to improve their attendance records. D Students who want a positive peer relationship. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 29-31    The traditional procedure of taking attendance at the start of the lesson may help a new teacher create a sense of routine and structure, but it isn't the best way to start the class.  New teachers need to develop classroom procedures for how and when to take attendance,  as this is an important part of classroom organization.    Taking attendance after the teacher has provided some input and the students are ready to start the activity can be much more effective. Since students have already connected With the academic focus of your lesson plan, they won't be distracted when you do take attendance. Teachers do not necessarily need to call out their names.  Just a simple head check should take you only a few minutes.    Teachers should ideally get to know the students' names quickly in order to build a positive and direct relationship.' Ice breaker activities during the first few days of school help to get to know the students' names. This can be very helpful to a new teacher, especially when there are more than two identical names or similarly sounding names.    Teachers can use name cards as a means for taking attendance in addition to also getting to know the names of students.  As they walk around the classroom, teachers can simply spot check the students' names as they appear in the boxes or on the seats.  An organizational tip for taking attendance using name cards includes arranging the names in your students' name list as they appear in rows. This makes it easier when it comes to checking off the names in your classroom attendance book.    29. Who are the target audience of this passage?    [解析] 推理题。本文重点介绍如何有效记考勤。选项的中心词是两种人(老师、学生)，问题很可能询问本文的主人公或者主要对象是谁。根据高频出现的teachers, take/taking attendance,可以锁定A为答案。 第5题 A It helps the teacher organize extra-curricula activities easily. B It helps establish the reputation of the whole school. C It helps build a positive teacher-student relationship. D It helps unify a divided class into a cooperative one. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Why is it suggested that a teacher know the students' names quickly?    [解析] 细节题。根据选项可以预测问题是某事物/做法的好处。文中提及的字眼有A中的organize activities和C中的positive relationship，但是A中的extra-curricula是没有提及的，因此C为首选，然后等到听完问题后进一步确定为答案。 第6题 A To make it convenient for students to remember their neighbors. B To see clearly what certain students are doing in class. C To finish calling out all students' names in a short time. D To check off the names in the classroom attendance book easily. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What's the purpose of arranging students' names in the name list as they appear in rows?    [解析] 细节题。根据选项可以预测问题是某做法的目的。作为本文的最后一题，依据往往就在最后，而选项D几乎就是听到的文章尾句，故为答案。 第7题 A The exhibits are better preserved than years ago. B The schedule of visits is more sophisticated. C They are much less expensive than before. D They are more popular with common people now. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 32-35    Museums have changed.  They are no longer places for the privileged few or for bored vacationers to visit on rainy days.  Action and democracy are words used in descriptions of museums now.    At a science museum in Ontario,  Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body.  At the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, you can look at 17th century instruments while listening to their music.  As these examples show, museums are reaching out to new audiences, particularly the young, the poor and the less educated members of the population.  As a result, attendance is increasing.    More and more, museum directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing.  The visitor is encouraged to touch, listen, operate, and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself.  He can have the experience of operating a spaceship or a computer.  He can experiment with glass blowing and paper making.  The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science.  The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it, and those who fear science will not use it to best advantage.  Many museums now provide educational services and children's departments.  In addition to the usual displays, they also offer film showings and dance programs.  Instead of being places that one "should" visit, they are places to enjoy.    32. In what way have museums changed?    [解析] 细节题。本文介绍现代博物馆的变化状况。根据选项可以预测话题是某些事物的变化。文章首句就说“博物馆变了”，随后两句就介绍了如何变化。如果听完这两句还不能判断D为答案的话，可以根据对后面两个examples的总结句museums are reaching out to new audiences, particularly the young, the poor and the less educated members of the population判断，博物馆现在更平民化、更普及了。 第8题 A More people come to enjoy museums. B More people fear to experience new things. C Many old people are puzzled by modern exhibits. D Many children are addicted to the displays. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What's the result of the changes?    [解析] 细节题。根据选项可以预测话题是人们对博物馆/展览的反应。承接前一题的信息，随后听到As a result, attendance is increasing. 也就是选项A所表达的意思。 第9题 A To attract people with different interests. B To charge additional service fees. C To help them feel at ease with science. D To teach them basic survival skills. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What's the purpose of encouraging visitors to participate in various experiments and operations?    [解析] 细节题。根据不定式表目的的作用，从选项中即可预测出本题询问某种做法的目的。听到The purpose is not only to provide fun but also应该注意后面的信息捕捉。C与文中to help people feel at home in the world of science同义，为答案。其他选项的信息未提及。 第10题 A Dinners. B Movies. C Novels. D Classes. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What do some museums provide besides educational services and children's departments?    [解析] 细节题。选项为一些活动内容，可以预测问题是在博物馆里可以参加哪些活动。作为文章最后一题，应重点关注结尾处的列举，其中B与文中的film showings同义，为答案。虽然D也是可以参加的活动，但是题干中已经出现了educational services，应排除。 六、Translation（本大题5小题．每题7.0分，共35.0分。 Complete the sentences by translating into English the Chinese given in brackets. Please write your translation on Answer Sheet 2. (5 minutes) ） 第1题 You shouldn't have been following him so closely; ______ (你应该与他保持距离). 【正确答案】： 答案:you should have kept your distance [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [译文] 你本不该那么紧紧地跟着他；你应该与他保持距离。    [题解] 这道题的主要考点是虚拟语气和“保持距离”这一短语。本句是对过去情况的一种虚拟，应该用完成时。 第2题 All the key words in the article are printed in bold type ______ (以便吸引读者的注意). 【正确答案】： 答案:so as to/in order to attract/draw readers' attention [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [译文] 文章中所有的关键词都用粗体字印刷，以便吸引读者的注意。    [题解] 本题的考点是目的状语、复数所有格。 第3题 In recent years ______ (更注重) developing the students' productive skills. 【正确答案】： 答案:much more emphasis has been put on [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [译文] 最近这几年来，(教师)更注重培养学生的创作技能。    [题解] 这道题的考点有比较级、短语和被动语态。由于句中没有“注重”的主语，put emphasis on应该用被动语态。 第4题 He thought he could talk Mr. Robinson ______ (购买一些昂贵的设备). 【正确答案】： 答案:into buying some expensive equipment [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [译文] 他以为他可以说服罗宾逊先生购买一些昂贵的设备。    [题解] 本题的考点是动词短语、不可数名词的用法。talk sb. into doing sth. 为固定搭配，意为“说服某人做某事”。“设备”用equipment，不加s。 第5题 You ______ (当时要是对那位顾客更耐心些) ; I'm sure that selling him the watch was a possibility. 【正确答案】： 答案:should have been more patient with that customer [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [译文] 你当时要是对那位顾客更耐心些，我相信他有可能会买这块手表。    [题解] 这道题的主要考点有“情态动词+完成时”和“对……有耐心”这一短语。由于句中用的是分号，需要翻译的部分应该是完整的句子，意思是“当时本该……”，所以用should have done结构；be patient with“对……有耐心”。 none、七（共Listening Comprehension（Section C）小题,11共分）77.0 第1题    From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age.

Are they smarter or do they work harder? Are they risk takers or have powerful and influential friends?    The financial newspaper Investors Business Daily (IBD) asked these same questions a few years ago and started a multi-year search for the answer. They studied industry leaders, investors and entrepreneurs to understand the traits they all had in common that contributed to their success. Reproduced here is their list of 10 Secrets to Success along with my commentary on each not-so-secret "secret".    I decided to reproduce the list here and comment on each of the traits in hopes of motivating you and myself in the process. It's time for me to take my own advice and start on the path to my dreams. I hope to motivate you, by using myself as an example.    I originally came across this list when I was staring at some papers on a refrigerator owned by someone who was very successful--both personally and financially. My family and I had just spent the night as a guest in a great house in the suburbs of Boston. We were living life large as we played pool in the race room, drank wine from the wine cellar, and enjoyed a dip in the hot tub. The problem was, neither of the couples in the house owned the property or the life we were pretending to have. You see, my friends were house sitting for the original owner and they had invited us to stay for the weekend.    It wasn't until the morning after our little "party" that I noticed something taped to the refrigerator--something that impacts me each time I read it. It was the IBD 10 Secrets to Success. Once my head cleared, I quickly copied them down and read them over and over again. After our vacation I made copies and posted them in my home office and inside a journal I decided to keep.    The problem was, after a couple of months I forgot about the secrets and they fell by the wayside. And so did my actions towards my goals. At the time the articles 7 Ways to Grow the Action Habit or How To Motivate Yourself--Self Motivation didn't exist and I lost my motivation. Well, I re-discovered the list and want to share it with you now.  I hope you take this not-so-secret "secrets" to heart and realize your dreams--whatever they may be.    1. How You Think Is Everything.    Always be positive. Think Success, not Failure. Beware of a negative environment.    This trait has to be one of the most important in the entire fist. Your belief that you can accomplish your goals has to be unwavering. The moment you say to yourself "I can't...", then you won't. I was always given the advice "never say I can't" and I'd like to strike those words from the dictionary.    I've found that from time-to-time my attitude wavers. A mentor of mine once said "it's ok to visit pity city, but you can't stay and there comes a time when you need to leave. " Positive things happen to positive people.    2. Decide upon Your True Dreams and Goals.    Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them.    Write down my dreams and goals? Develop a plan to reach them? You mean like a project plan? Yes, that's exactly what this means. You may have heard the old adage: A New Year's resolution that isn't written down is just a dream, and dreams are not goals.    Goals are those concrete, measurable stepping stones of achievement that track your progress towards your dreams. My goal is to start a second career as a freelance writer--what are your goals?    3. Take Action: Goals are nothing without action.    Be like Nike and "Just do it". I took action by reaching out and started writing. Every day I try to take some action towards my goals.  It may be small, but it's still an action.  Have you taken action towards your goals?    4. Never Stop Learning: Go back to school or read books. Get training & acquire skills.    Becoming a lifelong learner would benefit us all and is something we should instill in our kids. It's funny that once you're out of school you realize how enjoyable learning can be.  What have you learned today?    5. Be Persistent and Work Hard: Success is a marathon, not a sprint (全速短路). Never give up.    I think every story of success I read entails long hard hours of work.  There is no getting around this and there is no free lunch. But, if you're working towards something that you're passionate about, something you love--then is it really work?    6. Learn to Analyze Details: Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes.    I think you have to strike a balance between getting all the facts and making a decision with incomplete data--both are traits of successful people.  Spend time gathering details, but don't catch analysis paralyses.    7. Focus Your Time and Money: Don't let other people or things distract you.    Remain laser focused on your goals and surround yourself with positive people that believe in you. Don't be distracted by the naysayers (反对者) or tasks that are not helping you achieve your goals.    8. Don't Be Afraid to Innovate: Be different. Following the herd is a sure way to mediocrity (平庸).    Follow through on that break-out idea you have. Ask yourself "What would I do if I wasn't afraid ?"    9. Deal and Communicate with People Effectively: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others.    Successful people develop and nurture a network and they only do that by treating people openly, fairly and many times firmly. There is nothing wrong about being firm--just don't cross the a-hole line. How do you deal with people?    10. Be Honest and Dependable: Take responsibility, otherwise numbers 1-9 won't matter.
