[解析] B. 观点态度题. 女士问男士是否喜欢极限运动吗? 男士回答说极限运动是“the last thing I’d ever want to do”.这里暗含否定，即:极限运动是他最不愿意做的事情，即他不喜欢极限运动。注意last一词暗含否定的用法。(对话是靠词汇表达的，因此理解了词汇也就掌握了解题根本。这里所说的词汇不局限单词， 还包括惯用语、俚语、习语等。关键的时候。一个词、一个习语就决定了成败) 3.

W: Yeah, that happened to me a lot last year, but this year I have just cut down on my long-distance calls. Q: What does the woman imply? [解析] C. 观点态度题. 女士说:“this year I have just cut down my long-distance calls.” 可以推断出long-distance calls take a lot of money. “cut down” here means reduce。 7. M: The subway sure is crowded this morning.

C [译文] 校长因那个学生抢救落水儿童的英雄事迹而授予他一枚奖章。 [考点] 动词辨析。 [解析] 这四个选项都是及物动词或名词。作动词时，credit“记入贷方，信任”，prize“重视，珍视”，award“授予”(奖章、奖金、称号等)，后接双宾语，构成award sb. sth. 或award sth. to sb.(授予某人某物) 的固定结构。如:They awarded the best students special scholarships.(他们授予最好的学生特殊奖学金。) reward “报答，酬谢，奖赏”，多以人或人的行为为宾语，常构成以下结构: reward sb. for sth. “因?奖赏某人”;reward sb. for sth.“用?酬谢某人”如:He rewarded her with money.(他用钱来酬谢她。)作名词时，award “奖品，奖”，指由于成绩优等或贡献卓越而获得的奖励，往往是一种荣誉，可以是精神的，也可以是物质的。如:The Olympic winner received a gold medal as an award.

C [译文] 这本书论及有关二次大战的一些问题。 [考点] 形近词辨析。 [解析] concern (n./vt.) 作名词时，意为“关心，关联，有关的事，公司，企业”;作动词时意为“涉及，有关;使关心/担心”。它有以下几个常用短语:be concerned about/for sth.(担心/忧??);be concerned in sth.(与某事有牵连或对某事负责任);be concerned with sth.(与某 事物有关，涉及某事物);As/so far as sb./sth. be concerned(就??而言)。如:We are all concerned about/for his safety.(我们都关心他的安全。)He was concerned in the crime.(他与那起罪案有牵连。)Her latest documentary is concerned with youth unemployment.(她最近的一部记录片是关于青年人失业问题的。)As far as I am concerned, nothing is more interesting than playing chess.(就我而言，没有什么比下象棋更有意思了)。根据题意，the Second World War前缺少一个介词，而这四个选项中，只有C. concerning是介词，意为“关于”。而A. concerned是形容词，做前置定语时，意为“担心的，忧虑的”，做后置定语时，意为“有关的”，如: concerned parents(忧心忡忡的家长们);the things concerned(有关的事)。B, C选项是concern的被动式，也不符合题义，故应选C。 11. C [译文] 据报道，这个当地卫生组织是25年前建立的，当时Dr. Andon是第一任主席。 [考点] 不定式作复合谓语结构的一部分。 [解析] 不定式作复合谓语结构的一部分就是指 “be said/reported/known... +不定式”。此结构也可转换成:“It is said/reported/known... that” 句型。如:Shanxi Province is known to have rich coal reserves.(=It is known that Shanxi Province has rich coal reserves.) (据了解山西省有丰富的煤炭资源。)本题中需考虑用不定式的哪种形式，即考虑它的“体”和“态”。因题中“25年前”在“is reported”之前发生，且 “health organization” 与 “set up” 之间是被动关系，所以不定式用完成被动式:to have been set up, 故选C。 12. C [译文] 他在需要钱的时候放弃工作是十分愚蠢的。 [考点] 不定式的逻辑主语。 [解析] 在不定式的复合结构中，逻辑主语与句中表语构成逻辑主谓关系，此时复合结构“for sb. to do sth.”应改为“of sb. to do sth.”，适用于此结构的表语形容词大都为表示人物性格特征和行为表现的形容词。如:foolish,careless, thoughtful, kind等。故正确答案为C。 13. B [译文] 一到工厂，他就开始工作。 [考点] 固定结构 “on + 动名词”。 [解析] “on + doing sth.” 这一结构表示“就在某时或某场合(之后)”;“一?就?”。故正确答案为B。 14. D [译文] 有人告诉吉姆第二天有个晚会。 [考点] 动名词的复合结构。 [解析] 因about是介词，所以后面要接动名词作宾语。该动名词的逻辑主语是there，所以由“there + 动名词being”构成动名词的复合结构作about的宾语。再如:I’m not in favor of mother selling the old house.(我不赞成母亲将老房卖掉。)选项A和C都是谓语形式，而about后面不是一个从句，不能用谓语形式。选项B没有用be的动名词形式。故正确答案为D。 15. C [译文] 汤姆斯?爱迪生在失去了赖以独立生活的经济来源后，不得不找了份夜间电话接线员的工作。 [考点] 分词作状语。 [解析] 题中两个句子之间无连词连接，没有从句形式，可排除A。B是以主语从句形式出现，但后面缺少谓语动词，连接不上。D虽然是分句形式，但与子句逻辑不符，所以也应排除。只有C选项 Deprived of是过去分词，引导短语作主句的原因状语，符合题意。 16. D [译文] 学生们做完了所有的练习题，老师开始继续讲课文。 [考点] 分词独立主格作状语。 [解析] 首先从形式上观察，主句与前面部分用逗号隔开，故前面部分应是分词作状语，又主句的主语是the teacher，而分词的主语是the students，两者不一致，所以分词需带有自己的逻辑主语，这种带主语的分词结构称作分词的独立主格。本题中，分词的独立主格作原因状语，强调结果，又因学生做完习题动作先于老师继续讲课文，故应该用分词的完成式。因此选D。 17. D [译文] 生命是一支应该越燃越亮的蜡烛。 [考点] 过去分词短语作定语。 [解析] 动词mean的用法之一就是构成被动语态，即is meant，表示“人们打算或强烈期待(发生某事)”，mean作为及物动词，后接动词不定式表示“意欲，打算”或“故意”。candle本身并没有“意图”，所以不能选B、C，be meant to do这一结构一般不用进行时，故不可选A 。故本题答案为D。 18. A [译文] 如果配戴妥当，眼镜能校正大部分健康眼睛的视力问题。 [考点] 分词作状语。 [解析] 对于分词作状语的题，要弄清楚分词与主句主语之间的逻辑关系，在本句中，“glasses”和“fit”之间是被动关系，另外，分句的主语和主句主语相同，并且分句的谓语动词为“be”可省略主语和谓语部分，实际上，该分句应为“When glasses are well fitted”，由此可知，答案选A。 19. B [译文] 他妻子每天工作得很晚使他很生气。 [考点] 带逻辑主语的动名词。 [解析] 一般情况下，动名词的逻辑主语为谓语动词的主语，如果动名词动作的发出者不是谓语动词的主语时，则需要有自己的逻辑主语。动名词的逻辑主语就是在动名词前加一个名词的所有格或物主代词。若这个动名词做宾语，也可以用代词的宾格。本题中，从成分判断，空格处应充当句子的主语，所以B选项(带逻辑主语的动名词)可作主语，his wife作逻辑主语。而其他三个选项都是句子，要想做主语，句首必须用that来引导，而选项A, C, D中均没有that，故不正确。因此正确答案为B。 20. B [译文] 边境协议签署后，两国之间的紧张气氛开始缓和。 [考点] 分词独立主格作状语。 [解析] 本题中，从形式上观察，后面是个完整的句子，此句子与前面用逗号隔开，因而从形式上可判断出，空上需要一个分词短语来做状语，依语法要求，句子主语“the tension...”同时应为“signing/signed”的逻辑主语，但显然不正确，所以应在分词前面加上其真正的逻辑主语，构成分词独立结构或独立主格，作原因状语，四个选项中，只有B符合要求，为正确答案。 Part VI. Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) 1. [答案] C。 从语法角度分析，此处所填的词应为副词;再从语义角度来看，根据上文中的does not usually ... directly，只有C符合句意。 2. [答案] I。 本题考查动词convince的用法，即convince sb. that „。 其它动词均不符题意，故选I。 3. [答案] K。 本题考查对句意的理解。此处所填的词应为形容词，且根据manufacturers( 产品制造商)和storekeepers(店主)之间的关系(产品制造商必须使店主相信储存他们的产品能获利)，只有K符合。 4. [答案] L。 本题考查动词短语call for的意思，即要求，需要。 Part VII. Error correction 1. 【参考答案】: way?find out ? to 【详细解答】: 不定式做目的状语，to不能省略。 2. 【参考答案】: tracking ? track 【详细解答】: 本句中，动词use使用的是use sth. to do sth.结构，其中的不定式有两个，用and连接，因此第二个to是不定式符号，不是介词to，其后应该用动词原形。 3. 【参考答案】: in ? across 【详细解答】: 句中“by building a dam in a river”意为“通过建造一座横跨在河流上的大坝”，大坝是横跨在河上，不是在水中，不能用in 4. 【参考答案】:profits ? benefits 【详细解答】:benefit指通过正常的手段获得的好处，例如:She has derived much benefit from working as a librarian in the past years. profit主要指金钱上的获利，例如sell sth. at a profit出售某物而获利。题中 the benefits of technology是指使用科技带来的益处。 5. 【参考答案】: made ? taken 【详细解答】: 考固定搭配take care(of) 6. 【参考答案】: from ? in 5. [答案] G。 本题考查名词的词义辨析。customers 顾客;retailers 零售商。根据逻辑 关系只有retailers才会sell his type of product，故选G。 6. [答案] O。 本题考查动词短语appeal to的用法及意思。appeal to sb.在本文中是“吸 引某人，使某人感兴趣”的意思。 7. [答案] B。 be forced on sb.是动词短语force sth. on sb.的被动用法，意思是“勉强某 人接受某事物”。 8. [答案] E。 本题考查对上下文的理解。第二段说的是广告商和顾客之间的关系。 “顾客是上帝。”，所以广告商必须要作调查了解顾客的需求。尽管作 了很大的努力，但是顾客又是易变的。故选E。 9. [答案] D。 switch sth. to„是固定搭配，意思为“转变，改变”。 10. [答案] F。 persuasive，形容词，有说服力的;令人信服的。根据上下文，只有F符 合句意。 136 Model Test (1) 【详细解答】: result in 导致，带来，句中说海洋油井开采事故将导致石油溅出到 海洋中，符合题意。 7. 【参考答案】: added?the air ? to 【详细解答】: add„ to sth.意为给某处增添某物，符合题意 8. 【参考答案】: into ? / 【详细解答】: 本题考点是动词用法。enter意为进入某处时，用作及物动词，后接 表示地点的名词做宾语。enter into意为参加，加入，开始从事。句 义是汽车尾气进入到空气中，因此删掉into。 9. 【参考答案】:soak?the ground ? into 【详细解答】: 本题考动词搭配。soak into sth进入(并穿过)某物;渗透，根据句 意废旧物质会渗透到大地中，污染地表水。 10. 【参考答案】: these ? new 【详细解答】: 本题考察对段落的理解。这段在总结全文的基础上，指出人类在利 用科技解决已有问题的同时，还必须负责地去利用技术阻止污染这 样的新问题出现。上句的old和下句new 形成对比，因此改成new。 Part VIII.

Both the conversation and the question will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. 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. 1. M: How many students passed the final English exam in your class? W: Thirty. But still as many as 40 percent of the class failed. Quite disappointing, isn’t it? Q: What does the woman think of the exam? 2. W: Lots of young men enjoy extreme sports, do you? M: Believe it or not, that is the last thing I’d ever want to do. Q: What does the man mean? 3. W: When I go on a diet, I eat only fruit, and that takes off weight quickly.

M: I wish I hadn’t gone to see it Q: what does the man mean? 6. M: I cannot believe my phone bill this month. It seems too high. W: Yeah, that happened to me a lot last year, but this year I have just cut down on my long-distance calls. Q: What does the woman imply? 7. M: The subway sure is crowded this morning. W: Yeah. It’s a pain but if we all drove everyday we wouldn’t be able to breathe in this city. Q: What does the woman imply? 8. W: Have you saved enough to buy that new laser printer for your computer yet? M: You know money seems to be burning a hole in my pocket lately. Maybe next month. Q: What does the man mean? Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. 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. Conversation 1 W: Ben, have you chosen an elective course yet for this term? M: No. Why? W: You’ve got to take rock-climbing. Rock-climbing is a good chance to challenge your body and your will. We just had the first class and it looks like it’s going to be great. M: You think I should take rock-climbing? You’ve got to be kidding. Besides, how can they teach rock climbing when it’s completely flat around here? W: That’s not important. You can’t just start climbing without any training. You have to get in shape, learn how to use the ropes, the belts... There’s a lot of preparation. M: You don’t think it’s just a little bit dangerous? W: Not, if you know how to use the safety equipment, which is, by the way, pretty hitech. You have to learn how to use it before you do any real climbing. M: Well, what’s the appeal? We’ll spend the whole semester studying something we don’t actually get to do. W: We will take a climbing trip during the vacation. But that’s not the point. Climbing is not the only goal. In preparing to climb you learn patience, mental discipline and you gain physical strength, especially in your hands. For the first few weeks we’re going to concentrate entirely on hand and upper body exercises. M: All that in one sport? Maybe you are right. Since it’s not too late to join the class, maybe I will. Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 1. What is main idea of the conversation? 2. What does the man imply about rock-climbing at their college? 3. Why is the woman interested in rock-climbing? 4. What will the first few classes focus on? Conversation 2 M: Hey, Lynn. Looks like you’ve got some sun this weekend. W: Yeah? I guess so. I spent the weekend at the beach. M: Oh, yeah. That’s great! Where did you stay? W: Some friends live there, and they invited me there for as long as I want to stay. M: So why are you back here already? W: Oh, I have a paper I need to work on. And I just couldn’t do any serious studying at the beach. M: I don’t blame you. So what did you do out there?

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a hurt brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives only three to five minutes. Dr. Robert J. White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should try to make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctors a longer time to do something for the brain. Dr. White tried his idea on 3 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs. Then he operated on them. He made the monkey’s blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkey’ s brains. When the brain temperature was 50 F., Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations, the monkeys were like they were before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them. Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard. 1. How long can the brain live without blood? 2. How does Dr. White think that he can help? 3. When did Dr. White warm the blood? Passage Two My wife and I go to the theater whenever we can. But before we buy tickets, we like to know if the play is good or bad. When a new play opens, we usually read the newspaper to get information about it. Last week a new play opened at the theater. The newspaper story said it was very interesting so we decided to go on Saturday night. My wife took a long time to make up her mind what to wear and we left our house a little late. By the time we got to the theater, the first act had already begun. We were sorry we missed part of the play, because the rest of it was very funny. The newspaper had been right. It was very good. After the play was over, we met some friends we hadn’t seen for a long time. They wanted to go to a night club. It had been many years since my wife and I had gone dancing, but I finally agreed. By the time we got home, it was about two o’clock in the morning. I’m not accustomed to staying out so late and I was extremely tired. When I was younger, I didn’t have the money to go out for an evening like this. Now that I can afford it, I don’t have the energy to really enjoy it.

B [译文] 她是一个好女孩，从来不大声笑，也不乱发脾气。 [考点] 倒装。 [解析] 本题考察倒装结构空格前的分句含否定意义，空格所在的分句也表示否 定，后面的分句应用表示否定的nor或neither连接，应当用倒装结构，情 态动词、连系动词或助动词应放在主语之前，所以B. nor did she ever为 正确答案。 Band One 151 Key to Unit 2 Part I.

Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One In many cultures, people think that love and marriage go together—like bread and wine or meat and potatoes. They think that love is a necessary foundation for marriage and that you should love the person you marry before you get married. However, in other cultures, a man and woman may not even know each other before their wedding day. Romantic love is not essential to marriage in these cultures. These people expect that love will develop after the wedding if the marriage is a good one. Your views on love and marriage come from your culture. Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard. 1. What is marriage based on in some cultures? 2. In other cultures, which element do people think is not essential to marriage? 3. What could be the best title of this passage? Passage Two There’s a holiday next week and I can’t decide what to do. I have a lot of work to do at home, and this would be a good chance to do it. But I’d rather not spend the holiday that way. I can work at home all the rest of the year. Last year I went north to the mountains. Everything was beautiful, but it is too cold this time of year. And it’s really too far to go for a short holiday. I have decided that this is not a good time to go to the mountains. But I do want to go someplace. Perhaps this would be a good chance to go to the beach. I like to go for walks along the seashore in the warm sunshine and watch the water. It’s only about eighty miles and I could get there in about two hours. After thinking it over, I’m sure that this is a better time for the seashore than the mountains. I guess I’ll plan to go to the beach next week. Oh, here’s letter from Jim. He says he is going to his house in the mountains for the holiday, and he wants me to go with him. After giving it some more thought, I guess it wasn’t really too cold last year, and perhaps it might rain at the seashore and then I wouldn’t enjoy it at all. The mountains are only 300 miles away. I think I’ll write Jim right now and tell him I’ll go with him. Questions 4 to 7 are based on the passage you have just heard. 4. What did the speaker do for his holiday last year? 5. What does the speaker like about the seashore? 6. How far is it to the seashore? 7. Where did the speaker decide to go at last?__ Part IV. Spot Dictation Directions: You will hear a short passage which is printed on your test paper with some words or phrases missing. The passage will be read 3 times. You’d better just listen and get a general idea of it in the first reading. During the second reading, you are required to put the missing words on the blanks according to what you hear. The third time reading is for you to check your writing. Now the passage will begin. On the fourth Thursday of November, every year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The day is a national holiday which is set aside each year as a time to give thanks to God for our blessings. Legend has it that the first English settlers in Massachusetts started the custom. According to the story, they gave thanks for having survived the terrible winter of 1621 and for having harvested their first summer crop. They invited their Indian friends to join them in a large feast to share in the bounties of the land. Since the day is set aside for giving thanks, it has also become a traditional family day. Large dinners with many relatives are common throughout America on this special day. The traditional foods of the big Thanksgiving Day meal include roast turkey, cranberries, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and Indian bread pudding. Key to Model Test (3) Band One Part II.

They were afraid she might get worse. The doctor wouldn’t let her do any work at all. She is getting better now. She is able to get out of bed, but she can’t do any housework for a while.

Learning English is not only a very difficult and rewarding experience but also a frustrating and valuable one for me. But of all the subjects we study at school, I think English is the most important one. First, most of the books of science and technology published today are in English. If we want to read them, we must know English. Second, English is spoken very widely. Being able to speak English makes it possible for us to communicate with many more people than before, participate in conversations and make foreign friends. Also, learning English can give us insights into another culture and open our minds to new ways of thinking. Finally, with a good knowledge of English, we can get a good job when we have graduated from the university because English, as an international language, has been used as a standard language in many fields. We must pay more attention to the study of English and try to learn it well.__ Key to Model Test (4) Band One Part II.

A [译文] 我们不知道他的电话号码，要不然我们就给他打电话了。 [解析] 本题是一个虚拟语气句，该句与过去事实相反，所以应选A。 15. B [译文] 要不是当时他缺钱，他很可能来帮助我们的。 [解析] but that?“若不是”，表示虚拟的条件，要注意的是:that从句表述的 是事实情况，故从句中的动词用陈述语气，而主句需要虚拟语气。另 外，but for后面接名词或代词所表示的意思与之相同。如:But for your help, we could not have finished. 要不是你的帮助，我们是不可能完成 的。 16. D [译文] 我倒希望你没有立即把这封信寄出。 [解析] 四个选项中，在would rather后的that从句中，谓语动词用过去时表示愿 望，that可省略;故D为正确答案。其它三个选项的动词形式都不符合 would rather从句的虚拟形式。 17. A [译文] 他带上了雨衣以防下雨。 [解析] 本题考察虚拟语气的用法。在in case, lest, for fear that引起的状语从句 中，要用虚拟语气，表示“以防，以免”。形式为“should+动词原 形”。故选A。 18. C [译文] 汤姆缺乏经验，指派他做这项工作，我认为是不恰当的。 [解析] 在advisable后的从句中，要用虚拟语气，虚拟形式为“(should)+动词原 形”。故正确答案为C。 19. B [译文] 要是他愿意按我告诉他的去做就好了，但他不肯。 [解析] 本题考察虚拟语气的用法。if only意为“但愿，要是?就好了”，由 if only引导的句子，谓语动词需用虚拟语气，如果表示现在的愿望，用 would/could + do，如果表示与过去事实相反的愿望，用would/could + have done，根据本题题干的后半部分，可知句子表示的是与现在事实相 反的愿望，故选B。 20. A [译文] 假设你有出国的机会，你将去哪儿, [解析] supposing与providing等本身形式上是现在分词，但在功能上被视为连 词，同if, only等一样可以引导虚拟条件句，本题就是由supposing引导 的虚拟条件句，因为主句的时态是将来时态，故从句中用had而不用had had。 Band One 171 Part VI. Reading Comprehension 1. C 本题问的是:该文章的中心思想是什么,必须读懂全文，高度概括，并在选项中 加以比较。一般来说中心思想可以在主题段中找到。这篇文章的主题段在第一段第 一句，即旧工厂、仓库、铁路站还有其它的建筑物正在被整修用于其它用途。 2. C 本文开头讲的是在美国整修旧房子变得越来越流行，接下来又说如果在四、五年 前你问别人有没有在废弃的钢琴厂或服装仓库里租过房子，别人会认为你发疯了。 但现在“People are eager to do it.”很明显这句指得是人们现在乐意租这种房子。 3. B 第二段的最后一句说的很清楚:在纽约的Soho地区，不用的仓库被整修为艺术家 的工作室和公寓。 4. A 本题问的是:整修旧房子的原因,第三段的第一句讲了第一个原因就是怀旧， 就是认为旧的比新的好，就是要保护有历史意义的建筑物。所以，A是错的。选项 B、C和D可以分别在第三、四段找到。 5. B 本题问的是:整修旧的建筑物会产生什么结果,文章的最后一段里一位波斯顿建 筑师说的用引号引起来的话就是答案，讲的全是优点，所以B是错的。 6. C 本题问的是:本文的作者不能入睡的部分原因是什么?第一段的第二句告诉我 们:我不能入睡，部分原因是由于患了感冒，部分原因是由于对第二天的怀着期 待。 7. B 本题问的是:“Gladiator”是什么的名字?根据第四段的第二句话:Gladiator，我 的猫，喵喵地唱出了它的悲哀的歌，把我吓了一跳。 8.

After graduation, I worked for a bank for three years, and then went to work for a trading company. I’m an optimistic and self-motivated person. I try very hard to be successful in my work.

W: Why are you interested in our company, in particular?M: Well, I know that your company is planning to extend in China and the rest of Asia.

In fact, I find that you’re not easy to work with. Yes, really Lucy, I find you rather difficult. W: I’m sorry you think that way. M: The point is — and I think I should be truthful with you, I can’t honestly recommend someone for promotion who doesn’t take an active interest in their work. You can see that, can’t you Lucy? W: Er... yes I can and I’m sorry. I thought I was doing my best. M: Maybe, but you don’t seem to enjoy your work. I mean, are you happy at LTV? Perhaps you need a change. Have you ever thought about working somewhere else? You know, a different sort of job. W: Well, no. It’s not that. I like it here. I like working for LTV. I think television is exciting. It’s just that my job, what I do, seems so boring, so repetitive. M: I see. Yes, I think I understand how you feel. I’m glad you told me. But you’ve got to realize, Lucy, that we can’t all do exciting work all the time. W: Yes, I know that. M: Look, this is what I think we’d better do.

Passage One Alexander Graham Bell, the father of the electric telephone, was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on March 3, 1847. He graduated from Edinburgh University and received further education in London. He died in 1922. When Bell was a young man, he was very ill. Indeed, his long illness was one of the chief reasons for his parents to move to Canada where he finally recovered from his illness. Bell’s father and grandfather had spent all their lives studying human speech and how to teach the deaf to speak, and he followed them. His main interest throughout his life was in helping the deaf. He was so successful that he was invited to teach at the University of Boston, where he became a professor as a result of his work in speech and hearing. 176 Model Test (4) Part IV. Spot Dictation Directions: You will hear a short passage which is printed on your test paper with some words or phrases missing. The passage will be read 3 times. You’d better just listen and get a general idea of it in the first reading. During the second reading, you are required to put the missing words on the blanks according to what you hear. The third time reading is for you to check your answers. Now the passage will begin. My father was severely crippled and very short. When we walked together, he would lean on me with a hand on my arm for balance. I used to feel embarrassed to be seen with him while growing up, and inwardly I would struggle at people’s attention to our uncoordinated steps. Even if he was bothered by my reluctance, he never let on. He Bell began to experiment with ways in which people could talk with each other over long distances. In 1874, he succeeded in inventing the telephone. However, it was not until 1876 that the world’s first telephone was shown to the public. The first complete sentence ever spoken over the telephone was “Mr. Watson, come here. I want you.” Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard. 1. Where was Alexander Graham Bell born? 2. What was Bell’s main interest throughout his life? 3. In which year did Bell succeed in inventing the telephone? Passage Two Many rules govern drivers on American streets and highways. The most common ones are the speed limit. The speed limit regulates how fast a car may go. On streets in the city, the speed limit is usually 25 or 35 miles per hour. On the highways between cities, the speed limit is usually 55 miles per hour. When people drive faster than the speed limit, a policeman can stop them. The policeman gives them pieces of paper which people call traffic tickets. Traffic tickets tell the drivers how much money they must pay. When drivers receive too many tickets, they probably cannot drive for a while. The rush hour is when people are going to work or going home from work. At rush hour there are many cars on the streets and traffic moves very slowly. Nearly all American cities have rush hours. Drivers do not get tickets very often for speeding the rush hours because they cannot drive fast. Questions 4 to 7 are based on the passage you have just heard. 4. What is the speed limit on highways in America? 5. What is on a traffic ticket? 6. What will happen if a driver receives too many traffic tickets? 7. How is the traffic during rush hour? just let me set the pace and he adjusted to me. Now that I am a grownup, I am amazed at his courage for subjecting himself to the shame and stress without bitterness or complaint. He never invited pity for himself, nor did he show envy of the more fortunate. I think of him often when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.__ 178 Model Test (5) Key to Model Test (5) Band One Part II.

Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 1. When does the conversation take place? 2. Where does the Carol come from? 3. What’s George’s plan? 4. What can we learn from the end of the conversation? Conversation 2 M: How’s your toothache, Barbara? W: It’s gone, thanks, Robert. I went to the dentist yesterday, and he took care of it. M: I hate having my teeth filled. It’s not just the pain I hate. I hate the sound of drilling. W: So do I. I’d rather have a tooth pulled than filled. M: Have you ever had one of your teeth pulled? W: No, but the one the dentist just filled will have to come out someday. He said it couldn’t be filled again. M: Teeth keep causing trouble, and nobody really does anything about it. I can’t understand why. 186 Model Test (5) W: Scientists can put men on the moon, but they can’t keep people from having trouble with teeth. M: Why can’t they transplant teeth the way they transplant hearts? They can give somebody a different heart. Why can’t they give him different teeth? W: I’ve heard they’re working on that. My dentist says they’re working on tooth transplants right now. M: On the second thought, I’m not sure I’d like to eat with some other person’s teeth. W: Well, that’s not how it works. The idea is to develop a plastic tooth that can be put into the hole where your own tooth came out. M: Really? What makes it stay there? Do they hook the plastic tooth to the teeth beside it? W: No. The plastic tooth is made with plastic roots, and after a while the gum grows around the roots, so the tooth can’t fall out. M: Well, it sounds like a good idea. Questions 5 to 7 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 5. Why does the woman dislike having her teeth filled? 6. Which of the following is true according to the conversation? 7. What is the conversation mainly about? Part III. Understanding Passages Directions: In this section, you will hear 2 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Man has a big brain. Scientists used to think that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that animals can learn. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes are our nearest cousins. They can understand something more quickly than human beings, and one or two have learned a few words. But they are still different from us. They cannot join words and make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language. They can never think about the past or the future. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to develop civilization because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five, but no animals learn to speak. Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard. 1. What is the difference between men and animals? Band One 187 Part IV. Spot Dictation Directions: You will hear a short passage which is printed on your test paper with some words or phrases missing. The passage will be read 3 times. You’d better just listen and get a general idea of it in the first reading. During the second reading, you are required to put the missing words on the blanks according to what you hear. The third time reading is for you to check your writing. Now the passage will begin. To be a successful speaker, it is essential for you to know why you are speaking and what you wish to accomplish by your speech. The four most common purposes of speech are to inform, to convince, to move to action, and to entertain. The language and tone that you use must be proper for your purpose, for your audience, and for the occasion. A speech to the graduating class will have quite different language, tone and manner from information conveyed to a group of your friends. Furthermore, no matter how talented the speaker is, a talk without enough preparation is usually a failure. To speak without preparing is to shoot without taking aim. Decide what your aim or objective is, then state it in a complete topic sentence. See to it that your subject is definite and not too broad. 2. Which of the following is true about apes? 3. At what age can a child learn to speak very well? Passage Two For the first nineteen months of her life, Helen Keller was in every way like other pretty, happy babies. Then a sudden illness destroyed her sight and hearing. For the next seven years, she lived in a world of darkness, without sounds or words. The person who changed Helen’s world was her teacher, Anne Sullivan. Miss Sullivan had adopted a job which seemed impossible, because no one could control Helen. She acted like a young animal. But Miss Sullivan was a very special kind of teacher. She had been blind during part of her own childhood and had learned to see again after several operations. Miss Sullivan understood Helen. She wanted to help. She loved her and believed she could teach her. Under her guidance, Helen became a great writer. Questions 4 to 7 are based on the passage you have just heard. 4. How did Helen spend the first nineteen months of her life? 5. Who was Helen’s teacher? 6. How did Helen become blind? 7. Why was Helen’s teacher a special kind of teacher? 188 Model Test (6) Key to Model Test (6) Band One Part II. Understanding Conversations Key: Section A: AABDC CAC Section B: CAB DBAA Section A 1.

Vocabulary and Structure 1. C [译文] 他强烈反对性别歧视，提倡男女完全平等。 [解析] 本题是近义词辨析题。advocate “拥护，提倡”，本句中，从holds strong views against„(强烈反对?)可以判断出她对男女完全平等的态度应 该是强烈支持的，故选C。assist “帮助，援助”;acknowledge 和admit都 有“承认”的意思，但assist只起辅助作用，acknowledge和admit有勉强之 意，不够主动，都与她的态度不符。 2. C [译文] 六十岁时，国王准备好了把权力交给儿子。 [解析] 本题是近义词辨析题。transfer sth. to sb.“把(财产，权力)让给某人”， 故C. transfer正确。exchange“交换”，transmit“传送，传输”，remove “移 开，去除”。 3. D [译文] 当面对着他的犯罪证据的时候，他立即认了罪。 [解析] 本题是动词辨析题。tackled “应付(难事)处理，解决”;encountered “遭遇，相遇，遇到”;dealt (with) “处理，对付”;confronted (with)“面 临，面对”。根据题义，只有D. confronted正确。 4. D [译文] 这位女士非常讲究穿着。 [解析] 本题是固定搭配题。special 和particular都有“特殊的”含义，不同的是be particular about是固定搭配，意为 “对„讲究/挑剔”，如:He is very particular about his food. 他吃东西很挑剔。而special没有这种用法。specific 意为“明确的”，如:I want a specific answer. 我想要一个明确的答案。 precise意为“清楚的，精确的”，如:A lawyer needs a precise mind. 律师 需要极清晰的头脑。 Band One 191 5. A [译文] 凡18至45岁的男子毫无例外都应于战时从军。 [解析] 本题是名词辨义题。exception意为 “例外”，如:We praised them all, with two exceptions. 我们称赞了所有的人，只有两个例外。exclusion意 为 “排除”，如:His exclusion from the club hurt him very much.俱乐部 把他赶出来了，他很伤心。modification意为 “修正，改正”，如:The law, in its present form, is unjust; it needs modification. 现行的法律是不公 正的;它需要修改。substitution意为“取代，代替”，如:substitution of tea for coffee用茶代替咖啡。从句中的everyone 可以看出这里表示“毫无 例外”。 6. A [译文] 我喜欢乘公共汽车上班，而不是自己驾车。 [解析] 本题是词组辨析题。rather than意为 “而不(是)„”，如:I think we should call it a lecture, rather than a talk. 我认为我们应该把它称为一个 讲座，而不是谈话。regardless of意为 “不管，不顾”，如:All should be treated equally, regardless of race, religion or sex. 所有人都该受到平等的 待遇，无论他们的种族、宗教和性别如何。in spite of意为 “尽管”，如: We went out in spite of the rain. 尽管下着雨，我们还是出去了。Other than 常与no或 not连用，意为 “除了„”，如:How can you say that religion is anything other than a way of controlling people? 你怎么能说宗教 不过是控制人们的手段呢,本句在公共汽车和小汽车之间选择了一个而 否定了另一个，而不是排除其他所有事情。故正确答案为A。 7. C [译文] 公共汽车很挤，几乎没有足够的地方让你立足。 [解析] 本题是副词辨析题。rarely 和seldom 表示“很少”，都是频度副词，不能 用于本句，再说两词意义、用法相同，也不能成为答案。scarcely为程度 副词，“几乎不”，C为正确答案。 8. B [译文] 大脑需要不断供给血液。 [解析] 本题是近义词辨析题。A. continual“连续不断的，反复不断的(多用于贬 义，指反复，多次，但中间可有停顿)”;B. continuous“连/持续不断的 (中间无停顿)”;C. constant “经常的，不断的(强调发生频率高)”; D. projected“计划，规划，设计”。根据题义，应选B。 9. A [译文] 我们中学附属于这所大学。 [解析] 本题是短语辨析题。四个选项都可与介词to搭配构成短语，但汉语意 思不同。be attached to“依恋，爱慕，附属于„”;be attributed to“归 因于„”;be devoted to“献身于„”;be committed to“承担„责任，负 责„”;根据题义，A为正确答案。 10. A [译文] 总有一天这些事件的真相会被揭露出来。 [解析] 本题是动词辨析题。reveal“揭露，泄露;展现，显示”;rewrite“改写”; revise“修订，修改”;reverse“撤消，使倒转，使颠倒”;根据题义，应选 A。 192 Model Test (6) 11. C [译文] 她完全有能力照顾好自己。 [解析] 本题考察固定搭配。形容词capable只能与介词of搭配, 构成固定短语be capable of...意为“有„能力/技能;能够„”，而不与其他介词搭配使用， 故正确答案为C。 12. C [译文] 自从史密斯一家一年前搬到郊区，他们一直很健康地生活。 [解析] 本题考察动词时态。表动作尚在进行中，故用完成进行时。ever since表 示自过去某个时间直至现在，谓语动词应用完成时态，如果过程还未结 束，用现在完成进行时，如果已过去，用现在完成时。由题义可知，应 选C。 13. A [译文] 我想十年后我们回来时，这些老房子早就被拆除了。 [解析] 本题考察将来完成时的被动态。when引导的状语从句表示将来的时间， 又因为强调的是动作的结果，故此处所填的时态应为将来完成时，又因 为题中pull为及物动词，用主动语态时必须要有宾语，而题中无宾语， 所以应该用被动语态，因此答案为A。 14. D [译文] 在我爸爸带我到国外并定居于一个新的国家之前我们多年来一直住在那 个偏远的小村庄。 [解析] 本题考察考生对时态的掌握，时间状语从句为一般过去时，并且主句的 时间状语是for years 。因此主句应用过去完成时态，句子表示过去一直 发生的动作，故应用过去完成进行时，因此选D。 15. B [译文] 自从今天早上起他一直在写那篇文章。 [解析] 本题考察现在完成进行时的用法。由句中的since短语可知，谓语动词需 用现在完成时态，但具体该用现在完成进行时还是现在完成时，就需仔 细斟酌一番了。现在完成进行时表示某一动作从过去某一时间开始并持 续到现在，且有可能继续下去。二者的区别在于:现在完成进行时比现 在完成时更强调动作的延续性，前者可以说是后者的强调形式。从题义 可知，从今天早上起，他“写”的这个动作就一直在进行，到现在尚未 结束，故用现在完成进行时更好，应选B。 16. D [译文] 到这学期末，学生们就学完大学英语第一册了。 [解析] 本题考察将来完成时的用法。在句中, by the end of this term 是将来的 时间，后半句中的“学完”是一个将来完成的动作，用将来完成时，故选 D。 17. C [译文] 约翰的考试分数是全班最高的，他这学期肯定是努力学习了。 [解析] 本题考察情态动词的用法。must have done 表示对过去的动作或事情的 肯定的猜测，由题义可知，应选C。 18. C [译文] 手边有这么多工作要做，昨晚他实在不应该去看电影。 [解析] 本题考察情态动词的用法。shouldn’t have done 表示“本不应该去做的 事，但实际上做了”，由题义可知，应选C。 Band One 193 19. C [译文] 我们急急忙忙赶到火车站却发现火车误点了，我们根本不必这么着急。 [解析] 本题考察情态动词的用法。needn’t have done sth. 意思是“本来不必做某 事”，也就是说过去做了谋事，但实际没有必要做，didn’t need to do sth. 意思是“过去没做某事”，实际上也没必要做。由题义可知，应选C。 20. A [译文] 他不可能到北京去了，因为我刚才还看见他呢。 [解析] 本题考察情态动词的用法。can/could have done 意为“可能已经„了”， 表示对已经发生的事情的揣测。can’t/couldn’t have done意为“不可能„ 了”，表示对已经发生的事情的否定的揣测和怀疑。由题义可知，应选A。 Part VI. Reading Comprehension 1. B 根据第二段的最后一句:他们声称如果更多人骑自行车上下班，市中心的汽车数 量就会减少，从而减少汽车发动机排放出的废气。 2. C 本题问的是一些人反对划分出专门自行车道的观点，在这四个选项中哪一个不是 反对的理由,选项A, B和D在第四段都提到了，所以选C。 3. A纵观全文，还有第二段所使用的褒义词“claim”和第四段开头所使用的转折词 “but”，尤其是根据全文的最后一句，我们可以判断出作者的观点是:支持“Bike for a Better city”这个组织的所作所为，所以选A. 4. A 文章的最后一句话可以翻译为:在那件事(划分出专门的自行车道)发生之前， 骑自行车最安全的地方可能是在公园里。这就意味着在其它的地方现在骑自行车还 不安全。 5. C 本文最后一段的前两句告诉我们:市政府还没有决定该怎么做，因为它想让每一 位市民都高兴。但全文根本没有提到资金的问题。 6. A 根据第二段的最后这半句话:it still has an enviable record for turning ideas into profit是该段的总结，明确指出了德国的繁荣归功于技术的转换。 7. B 根据第三段的这句话:the traditional principles of university research being curiosity- driven，free and widely available will suffer，传统的大学科研原则有三个特 点，惟独没有“profit-driven”，即受利益驱动。 8. C最后一段的第一句讲得很清楚:the Fraunhofer Society建立于1949年，现在是欧 洲应用技术领域最大的机构，拥有59个协会，雇佣员工12,000人。 9. D 根据文章的最后一段，主要讲了the Fraunhofer Society现在是欧洲应用技术领域 最大的机构，它还继续在扩大，现在甚至在美国和亚洲都有它的雇员。 10. D expertise是专门的知识或技能，另外三个选项都用来指人，在上下文里根本不合 适。 194 Model Test (6) Part VII. Translation 1. couldn’t help laughing 2. keep pace with times / keep up with times 3.

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage One In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly and directly. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language, and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are grammatically correct. There is no easy way to success in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meaning, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn to use the language. If we are satisfied with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. “ Learn through use” is good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can. Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard. 1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in learning a foreign language? 2. Which is suggested as a good way to learn a new language? 3. What is mainly discussed in this passage? Passage Two If you plan to remain in the United States for any length of time, you will soon find it too expensive to stay in a hotel and will want to find another place to live. As is true in cities everywhere in the world, the farther you live outside the city, generally the lower the rents will be. However, traveling to and from the city by bus, car or train may make it as expensive as living in the city. Naturally, it is easier to join in the life of a city if one is close to the centre. And for this reason, you may prefer to live as close to the centre of tant thing is comfort. You have to make sure it’s the right height for you. Follow me and I’ll show you what we’ve got. Questions 4 to7 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 4. Why is Linda at the bicycle shop? 5. Why does John want to buy a bicycle? 6. What does Linda suggest that John do? 7. What does Linda say is most important about a bike? Band One 199 the city as possible. Or, you may prefer to rent a place for only a month or two until you become more familiar with the area. Your best source of information about either houses or apartments is likely to be the local newspaper. Usually the week’s most complete listing of house or apartments to rent appears in the Sunday newspaper, which, in many cities, can be obtained late Saturday night. Many people looking for houses or apartments believe that they have a better chance of finding a place to live if they have all the information as soon as possible. On Sunday morning, they are ready to call or visit. Questions 4 to 7 are based on the passage you have just heard. 4. If you would like to pay lower rents, where should you live ? 5. What is good about living close to the city centre? 6. Where do you look for information about houses and apartments to rent? 7. When do most people go visiting houses or apartments? Part IV. Sport Dictation Directions: You will hear a short passage which is printed on your test paper with some words or phrases missing. The passage will be read 3 times. You’d better just listen and get a general idea of it in the first reading. During the second reading, you are required to put the missing words on the blanks according to what you hear. The third time reading is for you to check your writing. Now the passage will begin. In October 1987, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards began its work to set new standards of accomplishment for the teaching profession to improve the quality of education available to all children in the United States. Teachers are committed to students and their learning. They must recognize individual difference in their students and adjust their practice accordingly. They must be concerned with their students’ self-concept, with their motivation, and with the development of character. Teachers must know the subjects they teach and how to teach them. Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring students’ learning. As members of learning communities, teachers contribute to school effectiveness by collaborating with other professionals. They take advantage of community resources for learning.__ 200 Model Test (7) Key to Model Test (7) Band One Part II.

Passage One A famous writer who was visiting Japan was invited to give a lecture at a university to a large group of students. As most of them could not understand English, he had to have an interpreter. During his lecture he told an amusing story which went on for rather a long time. At last, he stopped to allow the interpreter to translate it into Japanese, and was very surprised when the man did this in a few seconds, after which all the students laughed loudly. After the lecture, the writer thanked the interpreter for his good work and then said to him, “Now please tell me how you translated that long story of mine into such a short Japanese one.” “I didn’t tell the story at all,” the interpreter answered with a smile. “I just said. The lecturer has just told a funny story. Will you all laugh now, please.” Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard. 1. Why did the writer need an interpreter according to this passage? 2. At what was the writer surprised when the students laughed loudly? 3. Why did the students laugh? Passage Two Should a person own a car? This is an important question. In a large urban area, there are some good reasons for owning a car. First, a car allows a person to move around freely. With a car, there is no need to check a bus schedule or wait for a train. Second, a car is a comfortable way to travel, especially in winter time. In bad weather, the driver stays warm and dry, while the poor bus or train rider might have to stand in the rain. Fi- W: Studies have shown that coffee makes you work faster but not necessarily better. You may finish your work in a shorter period of time but you won’t have fewer errors. M: But I like the taste of coffee. Questions 4 to 7 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 4. What is the conversation mainly about? 5. What is the man’s problem? 6. What does the man say research shows about coffee? 7. Which is not true to coffee according to the conversation? 208 Model Test (7) Part IV. Spot Dictation Directions: You will hear a short passage which is printed on your test paper with some words or phrases missing. The passage will be read 3 times. You’d better just listen and get a general idea of it in the first reading. During the second reading, you are required to put the missing words on the blanks according to what you hear. The third time reading is for you to check your writing. Now the passage will begin. Today school students in many countries have high rates of failing eye sight. Two methods have been proposed to prevent near-sightedness, one western and one Chinese. The western method was developed by Mr. Bates, a British actor in the early part of the century. He trained people to relax very frequently during the period of intense reading. His method simply included covering the eyes with the palms of the hands and looking at distant objects by moving the eyes from side to side instead of staring at them. They then encouraged school children to look frequently at the calendar on the wall of the classroom to relax their eyes. A famous British writer even wrote a book on the beneficial effects of the Bates method on his vision. The traditional Chinese method involves pressing certain points around the eyes with the fingers. This also relaxes its excessive tension in the muscles. It is based on a doctor’s traditional Chinese medicine. But it can also be done by students themselves. Teachers and parents should encourage students to relax their eyes frequently when reading and studying. nally, a driver is usually safe in a car at night. The bus passenger might need to walk down a dark street to get to a stop, or wait on a dark corner. There are, on the other hand, many good reasons against owning a car. First, it can be very expensive. The price of fuel continues to rise each year. In addition, it is expensive to maintain and repair a car. A simple repair can cost $50. In an urban area, it might also be expensive to park the car. Second, owning a car can cause worry and stress. It is exhausting to drive in heavy traffic. If you leave your car on the street, it might get stolen. That is something else to worry about. Questions 4 to 7 are based on the passage you have just heard. 4. What is one of the good reasons for owning a car? 5. What is one of the good reasons against owning a car? 6. How much can a simple repair cost? 7. What is mainly discussed in the talk?

But I’m sure you can all sit down and work this out. W: Well, you are at the law school. So I wonder if you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk to the owner.

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage One In Europe there are very few wooden houses being built today. This is partly because wood is no longer as plentiful as it once was. On the other hand, there are many wooden houses in America. This is because the first settlers wanted to build houses quickly and inexpensively. Since the country was covered in many places with forests, some trees had to be cut down to make room for houses. Houses in many cities used to be made of wood. However, since the houses were very close together, fire could easily spread from one house to another. There were disastrous fires in some cities, such as the great fire of London in 1666. There are so many people living in some cities that it is often very difficult to find a place to live, and if one does find a place it is often too small. And many of the houses are too old and uncomfortable. Just as in prehistoric times, finding a good place to live continues to be one of man’s most urgent problems. M: Well, I don’t like training early in the morning. I don’t know why. So I start around ten. W: Mmm. And what about your lunch? M: I don’t have lunch. Lunch makes me tired. I train all through the day until about five o’clock. W: Really, Until five? M: Yes! Then I have a shower and go back. W: What do you do in your spare time, Jackson? M: I don’t have much spare time. I’m studying to be a technician. W: Don’t you have any free time? M: Not much. But when I relax I like listening to music. Music is really special to me. W: Well, thank you. Good luck! Questions 4 to 7 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 4. How does Jackson feel about his condition? 5. How long does he practice every day? 6. Which is true to Jackson according to the conversation? 7. Why doesn’t he have much spare time? Part IV. Spot Dictation Directions: You will hear a short passage which is printed on your test paper with some words or phrases missing. The passage will be read 3 times. You’d better just listen and get a general idea of it in the first reading. During the second reading, you are required to put the missing words on the blanks according to what you hear. The third time reading is for you to check your answers. Now the passage will begin. The convenience and economy of small cars account for their popularity. They are easy to park quickly and take smaller parking spaces. Small cars are also a means of conserving energy because they use less gas than big cars. Small cars are inconvenient and uncomfortable on long trips, however, because of their limited passenger and trunk space. They are also more economical to operate and maintain. And they cost less. Because of all these advantages, the next car I buy is going to be an Econo-Midget. Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard. 1. Why are there more wooden houses in America than in Europe? 2. What happened in London in 1666? 3. Nowadays, what do we want our houses to be besides being well-built? Passage Two One year Miss Wyatt decided to have a holiday in Italy. She did not speak much Italian, but wherever she went, she was fortunate enough to find people who knew enough English to be able to understand what she wanted, until one day she decided to have lunch in a charming little restaurant in a village in southern Italy. She had seen some nice mushrooms in the market of another village near there and thought they would taste very good, so when the waiter came to take her order for lunch, she inquired whether she could have some mushrooms for her meal, but she had great difficulty in explaining to him, because she did not know the Italian word for mushrooms. At last she took out a pencil and drew a picture of a mushroom. The waiter’s face brightened at once, and he hastened out to the kitchen. A minute later he returned, carrying an umbrella. Questions 4 to 7 are based on the passage you have just heard. 4. Why did poorness of Miss Wyatt’s knowledge of Italian not interfere with her enjoyment of her holiday most of the time? 5. Where did she have trouble in making herself understood? 6. Why did she think she would like some mushrooms? 7. Why did the waiter bring her an umbrella?__ Key to Model Test (9) Band One Part II.

D [译文] 尽管我很佩服他的勇气，但我并不认为他的行为是明智的。[解析] 本题考察的是as 引导的让步状语从句，由as引导的让步状语从句，意为“尽管，虽说”，句子应用倒装语序，又如:He was unable to make muchprogress, hard as he tried. 尽管他努力争取，但仍未取得大的进步。 20. C [译文] 当我试图理解究竟是什么使得美国人不能像别人想象的那么幸福时，在我看来有两个原因。[解析] 本题考察状语从句。此处understand后的从句是一个强调主语的句子， what 在句子中是被强调的部分，提到前边将主从句连接。正常句型应是it is what that„two causes，故C项正确。 Part VI.

Conversation 1 W: Hi, Tom. Long time no see! Fine? M: Yeah. Thanks! I’ve just been to see God Father. It’s fantastic. Well worth seeing. It won the Oscar. Haven’t you ever seen it? W: No, But I’ve read the book. I don’t think I would like to see the film really. It would spoil it. M: Really? Oh. Honestly, if I had to choose between the film of a story and the original book, I’d go for the film. W: Would you? M: Yes. It’s much more real! You can get the atmosphere better. You know, the photography and location, the right accents, and etc. All that. Don’t you think so? W: Not really. I much prefer to use my own imagination. I can see it how I want to see it, rather than how someone makes me see it. Anyway, I think you get much more insight into the characters when you read a book. Part of a person’s character is lost in film because you never know what he or she is thinking. M: True, but... well I don’t know. It’s much less hard work going to the cinema. It takes less time. I can get the whole story in two hours but it might take me a week to read the book. W: I know, but it’s so expensive to go to the cinema nowadays。 M: I know, but it’s a social event. It’s fun. You can go with your friends. When you read a book you have to do it on your own. W: All right. Let’s agree to differ. I’ll get some coffee... Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 1. What does the man think of the film God Father ? 2. Why does the woman prefer reading the book to seeing the film? 3.

Or the other way round. That’s up to you, anything. You’re an office worker, aren’t you? M: Great! How much do you rent for, altogether? Band One 229 W: No hurry. Let’s talk about it later. Are you married? M: Yes. W: How many children do you have? M: Not a single one. W: Well, I would like someone like you to be our tenant. M: Oh, This room here looks to the north, with a view of the sea. Not bad. But I’ m afraid it’s not big enough to be a sitting room. You know, my wife and I would rather have a better and more comfortable place to “stand” and “sit”. W: Why? If you know how to make use of it, there’s a plenty of room here for you two. M: Perhaps you are right. The rent, please? W: $300 a month. How about it? M: You’ve got to come down a bit. W: I can’t. Nowadays the cost of living is high... All right, make it $280. You may move in anytime. You haven’t got bits of heavy furniture to move, have you? M: No. Except a heavy piano. W: What? You have piano! M: You see, my wife is a pianist. W: I see what you mean now— your wife sits and plays the piano while you stand and sing. Well, in that case, I’m afraid I can’t let you have these two rooms. We like to keep this house quiet. You see, I just can’t stand noise of any kind. Questions 5 to7 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 5. What does the “Two Rooms To Let” mean in the conversation? 6. Why is the woman not anxious to talk about the rent? 7. Why doesn’t the woman rent the rooms to the man at last? Part III. Understanding Passages Directions: In this section, you will hear 2 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One “What do you think is really important in the United States?” I really think that independence is one of the important American values. From childhood we learn to be independent, to think for ourselves, to stand on our own two feet. American society allows its young people to move away from their families at eighteen or nineteen years of age. Of course, not all young people leave home at eighteen, nor do most parents want their children to leave. However, living independently from one’s family is an accepted part of the American value system. 230 Model Test (9) Part IV. Spot Dictation Directions: You will hear a short passage which is printed on your test paper with some words or phrases missing. The passage will be read 3 times. You’d better just listen and get a general idea of it in the first reading. During the second reading, you are required to put the missing words on the blanks according to what you hear. The third time reading is for you to check your writing. Now the passage will begin. Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.
