You should write at least 100 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below: ） 第1题 For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled College Students' sense of Responsibility. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:    1．有的大学生有很强的责任意识，有的却连最基本的责任感都没有；    2．大学生肩负些哪责任；    3．大学阶段是大学生成长的重要阶段，呼吁大学生加强责任感。 College Students' sense of Responsibility 【正确答案】： 答案: [高分作文]    Our times witness a striking difference between two groups of college students: those who bear a strong sense of responsibility and those without even a slightest one.    Perhaps some are still wondering--what obligations are undergraduates supposed to take? Obviously, all adult citizens should be responsible for themselves, their families, their societies and their nations. We university students are no exception. Besides, we are expected to be responsible for the institution where we are being educated.    Years at college are the most important period in a person's growth, when we acquire knowledge and find our roles in life, so we must enhance our obligation sense at this crucial moment in order to fulfill our duties well as individuals and members of our families, our schools, our society and our country. [本题分数]： 106.0 分 【答案解析】 [评析]    本文开头段只用了一句话就说明了提纲中的差距：有的大学生有很强的责任意识，有的却连最基本的责任感都没有。其中动词witness的拟人法使用、短语a striking difference(显著的不同)、strong与slightest形成的强烈对比以及responsibility和one实虚词结合，都是亮点 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 达。而两类人的定语分别使用了定语从句who bear a strong sense of responsibility和介词短语without even a slightest one，体现了句型的变化多样。    第二段虽然不长，但是段首过渡句Perhaps some are still wondering-what obligations are undergraduates supposed to take?的使用，承上启下，十分自然地引出段落主题：大学生肩负哪些责任。随后给出四个答案：成年公民都应该承担自我责任、家庭责任、社会责任、国家责任。大学生也不例外。而为了突出大学生和一般成年公民的区别，还用Besides补充了“学校责任”。    尾段强调了大学时期在人生中的重要性，并呼吁为了很好地履行我们作为个人以及家庭、学校、社会、国家的成员的职责，我们要加强责任感的培养，呼应第二段。全文以主人公的形象论述，有说服力。 二、Cloze（共20小题,共70.0分）There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D] on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.

A titles B headlines C subjects D topics 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 本题考查近义词辨异。title指出版发行的书籍、歌(乐)曲、诗、剧本、画、报纸杂志或其他艺术品等的具体“名称、题目”，此处指代书籍，符合题意。headline指报纸上用大号字体印刷的“标题”，复数形式还可指“新闻广播提要”；subject和topic均指文章或谈话发展所围绕的主题，即“论题、话题、主题”，譬如一篇以pollution为subject或topic的文章的title不一定是pollution，可能是How to Prevent Pollution或某个其他题目。 第2题 A Therefore B Nonetheless C Likewise D Furthermore 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 本题考查上下句之间的逻辑关系。此句是前一句“每年数百本科幻书被出版”的进一步补充说明，意为“此外，近年来一些最成功的电影也是基于科幻小说的”，故选Furthermore。这两句话都是在支持段首主题句，充分体现了popular的程度。 第3题 A rested B based C founded D concentrated 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据前一题的句意分析，此处选based。be based on“基于……；以……为基础”为固定搭配。其他选项与介词on搭配后的意思和用法分别为：rest on“依赖于，寄托于……上，基于”，不用于被动语态；found是“创办，成立；建立”的意思；concentrate on“专心于，把思想集中于”，一般用于主动语态。 第4题 A typically B simply C fairly D perfectly 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此处的副词修饰形容词new，相当于very，故选。fairly。 第5题 A as B before C so D but 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据new和hundreds of years ago之间的对比，选转折词but。 第6题 A on B with C for D about 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 短语be concerned with意为“关于，涉及”，符合句意，be concerned about意为“关心”，其他介词不用于此结构。 第7题 A principle B role C theme D thesis 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] theme指文学作品、音乐作品中不断重复的“主题”，比如乐曲中的主题曲、主旋律，符合句意。其他选项的意思分别为：principle“原则，原理”，role“角色”，thesis“论题，命题，论点”。 第8题 A classics B copies C works D issues 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 前文说“科幻小说几百年前就出现了”，本句说“但是，大多数科幻——是最近100年内写的”，随后用了两个知名作家来例证，因此classics“名著，经典著作”为最佳选择。copies“复制本，副本”，works“著作，作品”和issues“发行物”都不是最贴切的。 第9题 A mention B refer C quote D consult 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] to mention just…是“仅举……为例”的经典表达。其他选项的意思分别为：refer“提到；针对；关系到”，后接介词to才能带宾语；quote“引用；提到……以支持某论点”；consult“商议，商量；请教，咨询”。 第10题 A Previous B Conservative C Realistic D Modern 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据后文这些科幻作家所写的内容及句子所用时态，选Modern“现代的”。其他选项的意思分别为：Previous“以前的”，Conservative“保守的，传统的”，Realistic“现实的，现实主义的”。 第11题 A departure B temperature C adventure D feature 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据与space的搭配及连词or前面的men from Mars的语义并列，选adventure“冒险(活动)；冒险经历；奇遇”。其他选项的意思分别为：departure“离开，离去”，temperature“温度，气温”，feature“特征，特色；(电影的)正片，故事片”。 第12题 A previewing B predicting C preserving D presenting 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此处的动词与分号后面的imagining语义并列，且根据动宾搭配，选predicting“预言”。其他选项的意思分别为：previewing“预映，预演，预习”，preserving“保存，保留”，presenting“显示；介绍；赠与；交给”。 第13题 A or B than C and D neither 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据分号以及前后两个动作的对象，选or，表示“这些人或者对前者更感兴趣，或者对后者更感兴趣”，而不是对前者比对后者更感兴趣。 第14题 A liberation B composition C generation D reflection 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 定语从句修饰future worlds，意思是“未来的世界是对我们现在所处世界的反映”，选reflection。其他选项的意思分别为：liberation“解放”，composition“构成”，generation“产生，发生”。 第15题 A literal B political C cultural D biological 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 总结technical developments, society, the human mind, reflection，选political“政治的”。其他选项的意思分别为：literal“照字面的，原义的，逐字的”，cultural“文化的”，biological“生物(学)的”。 第16题 A overcomes B overlooks C overworks D overtakes 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据fact与fiction的比较关系，选overtakes“超过”。其他选项的意思分别为：overcomes“战胜；克服”，overlooks“俯瞰，眺望；忽略”，overworks“工作过度或时间过长”。 第17题 A away B above C ahead D around 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 本题考查短语辨义。keep ahead of“保持(对……的)领先地位”符合句意。keep away“(使)不接近；(使)缺席”，不与of搭配；keep above不是固定搭配；keep around“继续履行职责；使手边常有”。 第18题 A sufficiently B necessarily C originally D eventually 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此副词修饰clear-sighted“聪明的，精明的”，后接不定式作结果状语，故选sufficiently“十分地，充分地”。其他选项的意思分别为：necessarily“必要地，必需地”，originally“起初；原来”，eventually“终于，最后”。 第19题 A tedious B valuable C superficial D convenient 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此词修饰lesson，根据上下文应该选褒义词。valuable“宝贵的，有价值的，极有用的”最合适。其他选项的意思分别为：tedious“乏味的，单调的”，superficial“肤浅的，浅薄的；缺乏深度的”，convenient“方便的，便利的，合适的”。 第20题 A contact B convert C conform D confront 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：3.5分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此处动词的宾语是定语从句的先行词problems，故选confront“勇敢地面对，正视；迎面遇到，遭遇”。其他选项的意思分别为：contact“联系，接触”，宾语一般为人；convert“(使)转变，(使)转化”；conform与to搭配，表示“遵守，符合；顺应，一致”。 三、Listening Comprehension（Section A）（共15小题,共105.0分）In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 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. 第1题 A A railway porter. B A bus conductor. C A taxi driver. D A postal clerk. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Excuse me, sir. I'm going to send this parcel to London. What's the postage for it? M: Let me see. It's one pound and fifty. Q: Who is the woman most probably speaking to?    [解析] 本题出现了几个明显有职业场所特征的词parcel和postage，由此可以判断对话场所是在邮局，女士在咨询往伦敦邮寄包裹需要多少钱，她询问的人一定是邮局的工作人员(postal clerk)。 第2题 A Her hairstyle is very beautiful. B Her hairstyle is not nice. C The hairstyle really changes her appearance. D The woman has a sense of style. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: I didn't notice you'd changed your hairstyle. W: Not very observant, are you? Some people told me they couldn't even recognize me. Q: What does the woman imply?    [解析] 此对话的主题是女士的发型。重点在女士的话，她说她换了发型之后有些人说都认不出她来了，言外之意就是她的发型使她外貌变化很大。从对话的内容不能判断A、B是否正确，D是无关选项。 第3题 A Jane is looking for a summer job. B Jane is packing for the summer vacation. C Jane is on her way home. D Jane is eager to go home for the vacation. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Is Jane looking forward to going home for this summer? W: She is counting the days. Q: What does the woman imply?    [解析] counting the days通俗地讲就是“掰着指头数日子”，意即“盼望、渴望”。对话没有提到summer job，A不对；也没有提到收拾行李或Jane已经上路，所以B、C也不对。 第4题 A The chocolate cookie tastes terrible. B The chocolate cookie is very delicious. C Jack will never make such cookies. D He got the only one in this world. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Have you tried Jack's chocolate chip cookies? M: I managed to get the last one. It was out of this world. Q: What does the man mean?    [解析] out of this world是个习语，表示“非常好”，cookies很好吃，即delicious。 第5题 A He has never felt good in his life. B The Yoga has improved his health. C He is unhappy about his life. D He is thinking of taking a Yoga exercise. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W：You look great since you've been taking the Yoga exercise. M: Thanks! I've never felt better in my life. Q: What does the man imply?    [解析] I've never felt better in my life和寒暄常用语couldn't be better意思差不多，即表明现在的健康状况非常好。男士这样回答是对女士观点you look great since you've been taking the Yoga exercise的赞同，由此引申出瑜伽改善了男士的健康。A、C对男士的话理解有误。 第6题 A The train is delayed. B The train has left. C The train leaves three times a day. D Someone gave the woman wrong information. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: I thought there was still time for me to catch the train to New York. But someone told me it left an hour ago. M: Are you sure? I thought it leaves at three. Wait, I've got a schedule here. Gosh, you still may be able to catch it. Q: What does the man imply?    [解析] 本题对话信息较多，需要进行一定的推理，难度稍大。女士说她本以为自己能赶上去纽约的火车，但有人告诉她火车一小时之前就开走了。男士对女士的话表示怀疑(are you sure?)，男士说他认为火车3点才开，接着拿出列车时刻表查看，最后告诉女士她还能赶上这趟车。且不管火车是否是3点离开，根据男士的话，我们可以确定的是女士仍然能赶上火车，这就说明某人告诉女士火车一小时之前已经开走的信息是错误的。 第7题 A Go to watch the baseball match. B Drive to work. C Try to fix the car. D Stop working and have some rest. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: I think I'll go and watch the baseball game today. W: But I thought you were going to work on the car. Q: What does the woman imply the man should do?    [解析] 女士的建议提得很含蓄，她用“我还以为你要修车呢(but I thought you were going to work on the car)”来提醒男士他应该修车，而不是去看比赛。work on the car是fix the car的口语化表达。 第8题 A She can only make it on Sunday. B She doesn't like volleyball. C She doesn't want to play volleyball on Sunday. D She will try to make it on Sunday. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Hello, I wonder if we could change the time for volleyball to Sunday. W: Is that the only time you can make it? Q: What call be inferred about the woman?    [解析] 男士提出想将打排球的时间调换到星期天，女士问“你就只有这一天能打排球吗?”其实是间接告诉男士星期天这个时间对她不合适，希望男士改其他时候。A正好与原意相反；B属无关，D错在try。 第9题 A The guided tours. B University Books. C The Student Federation. D A volunteer group. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 19-22 M: Hello, University Books. Tim Weber speaking. W: Hi, Tim, this is Ruth. M: Oh, hi, Ruth, What's up? W: Well, the Student Federation needs a couple of volunteers to give guided tours to the new students next week. Would you be able to help out? M: That depends on the days you have in mind. I'm working here full-time before classes begin. It's really busy now, with all the textbook orders coming in, but I do have some time off. W: What about Saturday-? Most new students arrive on the weekend. M: Sorry, I have to work all day Saturday. How about Thursday and Friday? I've got both mornings free. W: I don't have the schedule on me. Ken's got it. Maybe you ean set something up with him. M: I'll only be able to spare a couple of hours, though. W: No problem. I'll ask Ken to get in touch with you later today. Will you be at this number? M: Yeah, till four... Look, I've got to go. I have to get all the orders out before I leave today. W: OK, thanks, Tim. Bye.    19. Where does Tim work?    [解析] 浏览选项时如果发现第一题选项为机构组织名称的短选项，听音时要高度注意对话开头部分，因为接电话的人一般拿起电话就会自报姓名，如果是单位电话还会向对方通报公司名称，这种题目非常容易漏听答案。C项和D项都是Ruth服务的地方，guided tours是他们组织的一次活动，只有B项正确。 第10题 A To find out if the books she ordered are in. B To ask him to attend a Student Federation meeting. C To get his schedule of classes for next term. D To see if he has time to welcome the new students. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Why does Ruth call Tim?    [解析] 本题为细节题，从to do结构可判断问题和说话人的目的有关。Ruth在Student Federation服务，她们将举行欢迎新生的活动，想邀请Tim当志愿者，D项中的welcome the new students其实就是to give guided tours to the new students比较慨括的表达法。 第11题 A Take the place of Ruth as a tour guide. B Ask Ken if he will be at the activity. C Help out when he is free. D Leave work early if he can. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What does Tim offer to do?    [解析] 对话的主题是当志愿者，Tim非常乐意参与这项活动，但在具体时间方面还要商榷。他提出“How about Thursday and Friday? I've got both mornings free.” 第12题 A Tomorrow evening. B 5 o' clock this afternoon. C 10 o' clock on Saturday. D 10 o' clock on Thursday. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] When can Ken get in touch with Tim at the same number?    [解析] 本题考查细节。Ruth要让Ken和Tim联系以便确定具体时间，Tim说四点以前可以通过这个号码找到他，结合前文Tim 说周六整天都要工作，可以推测C项为正确答案。 第13题 A He cannot do well because the class is too large. B He wants the professor to give him a mark. C He was late for registration. D He needs the permission of Professor Day to register. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 23-25 M: Professor Day, may I see you for a minute? W: Sure. Come on in. What's the matter? M: I've got a problem. I need your technical writing class, so I went early to the registration area, but by the time I got to the front of the line, it was closed. See, my advisor signed my course request and everything. W: That's a big class already. If it is closed, that means I have 50 students in it now. M: I'm not surprised. It's a really good class and many students want to attend it. W: Can't you take it next year? We offer it every fall. M: Well, that's the problem, I'm supposed to be graduating this spring. But, of course, I can't graduate without your class. W: I see. In that case, I'll sign for you. It looks like there will be 51. Take this form back to the registration area. They will get you in. M: Thanks, Professor Day. I really appreciate this!    23. What is the problem of the student?    [解析] 男生必须上实用写作这门课，虽然他很早赶去排队注册，可快到他的时候课程满员，系统关闭，他只好向教授求助。本题看似考细节，其实考主旨，答案需要综合整则对话内容，尤其要注意I'll sign for you这句话。 第14题 A Students attend it because it is required. B The student likes the course very much. C It is so popular that students line up to get registered. D The professor offers the course every term. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What do we know about this course?    [解析] 不难选出C项作为正确项，但A项的干扰性相当大，虽然说话人必须修这门课才能毕业，但它不一定是其他专业学生的必修课。“I'm not surprised. It's a really good class and many students want to attend it.”这句话明确告诉我们，选课的人多是因为上课内容精彩。 第15题 A Allow the student to take the class this term. B Allow the student to take the class next year. C Permit the student to graduate without the class. D Let the student to attend another class. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What does Professor Day decide to do?    [解析] 本题答案在对话结束部分，浏览选项时可以推测出题方向和另一说话人的某一决定相关。从对话中可知，教授最后同意签字，男生凭该表格可以破格在这学期选上课。其实根据常识完全可以排除C项。 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    For any given task in Britain there are more men than are needed. Strong unions keep them there in Fleet Street, home of some London's largest dailies. It is understood that when two unions quarrel over three jobs, the argument is settled by giving each union two. That means 33 percent over-manning, 33 percent less productivity than could be obtained.    A reporter who has visited plants throughout Europe has an impression that the pace of work is much slower here.  Nobody tries too hard.  Tea breaks do matter and are frequent.  It is hard to measure intensity of work, but Britons give a distinct impression of going at their tasks in a more leisurely way.    But is all this so terrible? It certainly does not improve the gross national product or output per worker. Those observant visitors, however, have noticed something else about Britain. It is a pleasant place.    Street crowds in Stockholm, Paris and New York move quickly and silently heads down, all in a hurry. London crowds tend to walk at an easy pace ( except in the profitable, efficient city, the financial district).    Every stranger is struck by the patient and orderly way in which Britons queue for a bus; if the saleswoman is slow and out of stock she will likely say, "Oh dear, what a pity" ; the rubbish collectors stop to chat and call housewives "Luvs". Crime rises here as in every city but there still remains a gentle tone and temper that is unmatched in Berlin, Milan or Detroit.    In short, what is wrong with Britain may also be what is right. Having reached a tolerable standard, Britons appear to be choosing leisure over goods. According to the passage, the argument of jobs between unions is settled by means of ______. A competitions in their productivity B providing more job opportunities C negotiations held between the two parties D obtaining 33 percent more productivity 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 细节题。根据第一段第三句后半部分the argument is settled by giving each union two可知最终的解决方法是两方各得两份工作，而本来一共只有三份工作，故答案为B。 第2题 What is the author's attitude towards the British way of life and work? A Neutral. B Appreciative. C Critical. D Ironic. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 态度题。根据最后一段第一句In short, what is wrong with Britain may also be what is right(简而言之，英国的缺点可能恰好正是其优点之所在)可知作者其实是持一种中立的态度，故答案为A。 第3题 By "appear to be choosing leisure over goods" in the last paragraph, the authors means that ______. A Britons like leisure better than choosing quality goods B Britons often enjoy their leisure with quality products C Britons like to have tea in a leisurely way D Britons prefer enjoyment to productivity 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 语义题。作者主要是把work和leisure联系起来进行展开的。这里的goods是指与工作相关的物质上的东西，英国虽然生产力不高，但人们在达到基本生活水平的情况下更愿意过闲适的生活，故答案为D。 第4题 It can be inferred from the passage that ______. A job quarrels between unions can help create more jobs B a leisurely way of life and work helps increase productivity C Britons won't increase productivity at the cost of their leisure D London is more crowded than any other big cities in the world 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 推断题。作者主要是把work和leisure联系起来进行展开的。根据第二段第二句Nobody tries too hard以及第三句Tea breaks do matter and are frequent可推出选项C为正确答案。 第5题 By using the examples in Paragraph 5, the author means to tell us ______. A that Britons are more patient and talkative than people in other large cities B why some visitors find Britain a pleasant place C how British people manage to live a leisurely and pleasant life D the sharp contrasts between Britons and people in other cities 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 细节及写作意图题。根据第三段最后一句It is a pleasant place可知接下来的两段都是解释为什么有的游客会觉得英国是一个令人感到愉快(pleasant)的地方，故答案为B。 第6题    A major sociological theory known as symbolic interactionism offers some important insights into how men and women are taught to fill different roles in society. The key concept in symbolic interactionism is that communication makes a big difference in behavior: people act on the basis of messages they receive from others, and how they understand those messages. This can be seen in a concept developed by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley known as the looking-glass self.    By the looking-glass self, Cooley meant the self-image that each of us develops according to the messages we receive from others; we think and behave according to our understanding of those messages. If, for example, a young girl is repeatedly told that she is pretty, she will come to believe that. (1) she is in fact pretty, and (2) being pretty is an important thing in her life. Similarly, if she is told that she is not good ( or not expected to be good) at certain things such as math, she will come to believe that she is not good at such things and would be better off working at things she can be successful at. The likely product is a young woman who devotes a great deal of attention to her appearance, regards being pretty as a key to success in life, and who is intimidated by anything connected with numbers.    Since we know that young girls are given messages like these, and that young boys are given different messages, we can see a good part of how sex roles are taught.  There is little or no evidence of differences in what young girls and young boys can do, but the older children become, the greater the differences in the areas in which boys and girls are interested. According to the passage, if one is given a certain message about himself or herself time and again, he or she will ______. A regard it as important in all his or her life B pay much attention to his or her appearance C find it believable and then behave accordingly D make it known to others to see whether it is true 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 细节题。根据第二段第一句的后半部分we think and behave according to our understanding of those messages以及其后的例子可知本题答案为C。 第7题 Cooley's concept of looking-glass self can help us understand ______. A why men and women are good at different things B how young girls feel when they are said to be pretty C how men and women are taught to perform different social roles D why men and women receive messages in a totally different way 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 细节题。根据第一段第一句…symbolic interactionism offers some important insights into how men and women are taught to fill different roles in society以及本段最后一句This can be seen in a concept…known as the looking-glass self可知三者关系为the looking-glass self的理论告诉我们how men and women are taught to perform different social roles，故答案为C。 第8题 The word "intimidated" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______. A frightened B influenced C encouraged D excited 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：9.0分 【答案解析】 [解析] 语义题。根据第二段Similarly, if she is told that she is not good (or not expected to be good) at certain things such as math, she will come to believe that she is not good at such things and…可知这里的intimidated肯定是表示负面的意思，四个选项中只有A) frightened有明显的负面意义，故答案为A。 第9题 The author's purpose of writing this article is to ______.

D Americans of both sexes and all ages. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 29-31    Recently, over 30 million Americans of both sexes and all ages have shown great interest in walking. They have a strong desire to keep fit. By nature, Americans are enthusiastic and energetic about hobbies or pastimes. As a result, there are walkers' clubs to join in and many books and magazines to read about walking.    Walking is probably the most overlooked way to physical fitness. Like other exercises, it can help control weight, strengthen the heart and lungs, ease stress and build up energy. Unlike many exercises, walking is simple, easy and cheap.    Middle-aged men suffer from heart disease, the nation's number one killer. Thus, they are strongly interested in walking. In fact, many doctors encourage their patients to become more physically active. It is interesting to note that the rate of heart disease began to decrease between 1992 and 1994 and it is still decreasing.    Remember that it is possible to overdo anything, even walking. Many confused walkers overdo and finally suffer from ankle and foot damage. Be careful not to overexert yourself, especially in hot weather.    29. Who likes the physical exercise of walking in the United States?    [解析] 判断题+排除法。本文介绍美国“暴走族”社会现象。听录音之前，通过浏览选项可知，本题问的是多少人或是怎样的人。文章首句很关键：Recently, over 30 million Americans of both sexes and all ages have shown great interest in walking．选项A和B未包括女性，选项C错在逻辑上，尽管美国人天生对hobbies or pastimes表现出精力充沛，但是不能反过来就认为，精力充沛的美国人就喜欢“暴走”(walking)。选项D才符合题意。 第2题 A Because of their strong desire for good health. B Because of their love for hobbies and pastimes. C Because of their fear of heart disease. D Because of their extra energy. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Why are Americans so interested in walking?    [解析] 事实题。通过浏览选项可知本题问的是“为什么”，听短文时要特别关注表示原因的句子。短文一开始叙述在美国“暴走”(walking)颇受欢迎，特别指出They have a strong desire to keep fit，由此可见，正确答案为A。 第3题 A It was rising. B It was lowering. C It remained unchanged. D It was fluctuating. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What is true about the rate of" heart disease between 1992 and 1994 in the United States?    [解析] 细节题。通过浏览选项可知，本题问的是变化趋势。是上升?下降?未变?还是波动?文中关键句子是：It is interesting to note that the rate of heart disease began to decrease between 1992 and 1994 and it is still decreasing. 正确答案为B，lowering即下降。D是“波动”的意思。 第4题 A Many thought it was ridiculous. B Some expected it to replace traditional ones. C Most regarded it as a convenient educational channel. D No one took it very seriously. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 32-35    In 1963 the leader of the Labor Party made a speech explaining plans for a "university of the air"-- an educational system which would make use of television, radio and correspondence courses.  Many people laughed at the idea, but it became part of the Labor Party's program to give educational opportunity to people who had not had a chance to receive further education.    By 1969 plans were well advanced and by August 1970 the Open University, as it is now called, had received 400 000 applications.  Only 25 000 could be accepted for the four "foundation" courses offered: social sciences,  arts,  science and mathematics.  Unsuccessful candidates were told to apply again the following year, when a foundation course in technology would also be offered.    The first teaching programs appeared on the air and screen in January 1971, with clerks, farm workers, housewives, teachers, policemen and many others as students.  Correspondence units had been carefully prepared and science students were given devices for a small home laboratory.  Study centers have been set up all over the country so that students can attend once a week, and once a year they will spend a week at one of the university's summer schools.    It has been nearly 40 years since the Open University started to offer courses.  Now it is a very important part of the British educational system.  Not only does it offer foundation courses like those mentioned above, it also carries out very advanced scientific researches, some of which will lead to Master's or PH. D Degrees.    32. How did people in the 1960's like the idea of establishing a "university of the air"?    [解析] 细节题。本文介绍英国开放大学的创办历史及影响。根据选项可以预测问题是人们对某事的看法/态度。文章首句提出了建立a "university of the air"的想法，第二句就说Many people laughed at the idea，即A。 第5题 A Technology. B Social sciences. C Artificial intelligence. D Politics. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Which course was one of the four "foundation" courses offered in the Open University?    [解析] 细节题。选项为四种课程。听到某一选项时应该做相关 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 。如首先听到the four "foundation" courses offered: social sciences，因此应该在B旁边记录“4”。然后听到the following year, when a foundation course in technology would also be offered，应该在A旁边记"following year"或者“次年”。其他两个选项未提及，故可不考虑。听到问题后很容易选出B为答案。 第6题 A In June 1969. B In August 1970. C In January 1971. D In February 1972. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] When did the first teaching programs appear on the air and screen?    [解析] 细节题。选项为四个时间。听到某一选项时应该记录发生了什么事。如在B旁边记400000 applications，C旁边记first teaching programs，A、B中的月份未提及，故可不考虑。然后根据问题选出C为答案。 第7题 A Its students can spend the whole summer at school. B It can offer foundation courses as well as advanced degrees. C It has established study centers all over the world. D It is the most important part of the British educational system. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What's the current situation with the Open University?    [解析] 细节题。选项为某学校的现状描述，作为最后一题，应该重点关注文章结尾处的信息。所有选项的话题均被提及，但是边听边进行信息匹配，可以逐一排除A(错在whole)、C(错在，world)、D(错在the most)，只有B是文章尾句的准确概括，为答案。 第8题 A To teach students how to communicate with native speakers. B To introduce a few techniques to be successful language learners. C To encourage slow language learners not to lose their hearts. D To tell the audience how to enlarge their vocabulary more quickly. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 26-28    Some people seem to have a talent for learning languages.  They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules or grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at them, we may discover a few techniques.    First of all, successful language learners are independent learners.  They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language.  They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.  When they guess wrong, they guess again.  They try to learn from mistakes.    Successful language learning is active learning.  Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance.  They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things.  It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.    Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose.  They learn the language because they want to communicate with people who speak it and learn from them.    What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully.  Otherwise, you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above.    26. What's the purpose of this passage?    [解析] 主旨题。本文介绍具有语言天分的人的成功诀窍。根据不定式表目的的作用，从选项中即可预测出本题询问本文的目的。文章开头先介绍说有些人很有语言天赋，然后说we may discover a few techniques，接下来全文总共介绍了3大技巧，因此本题的答案应该是B。 第9题 A They discover ways to learn a language on their own. B They learn in isolated places with no people around. C They get hints from their teachers faster than others. D They listen and speak more than other learners. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What do independent language learners do?    [解析] 细节题。根据选项可预测本题询问某些人与众不同的做法。第一大技巧中就提到they (independent learners) discover their own way to learn the language，与A同义。 第10题 A Getting the main idea of a passage. B Making as few mistakes as possible. C Thinking in the target language. D Communicating with foreigners. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：7.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] What do active learners find more important than knowing the meaning of every word?    [解析] 细节题。根据选项可预测本题询问哪种做法比较可取。文中有关第二大技巧的结尾部分有个比较句，是C和knowing the meaning of every word的比较。选项D虽然也提及了，但并未作比较，故仅仅属于强干扰项。 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.

(11) Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts, lack of finances was marked by 19 per cent. 第2题 【正确答案】： 答案:extent [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据前后的The和of以及谓语was，此处需要单数名词。extent“程度”。 第3题 【正确答案】： 答案:guessing [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 介词of后面的中心词应该是名词词性，故此处需要动词guess加ing构成动名词。 第4题 【正确答案】： 答案:former [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此处需要形容词修饰graduate students。former“以前的”，不要写成formal“正式的”。 第5题 【正确答案】： 答案:enrolled [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 根据were，此处需要过去分词。enrolled“(被)录取”。 第6题 【正确答案】： 答案:groundless [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此处需要形容词作宾语补足语。groundless“没有根据的”。 第7题 【正确答案】： 答案:financially [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此处需要副词，说明在哪方面doing well。financially“财政上，金融上”。 第8题 【正确答案】： 答案:principal [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 冠词之后名词之前需要形容词作定语。principal“最重要的；主要的”。 第9题 【正确答案】： 答案:Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their education and motivation [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此句为简单句，注意短语be engaged in以及宾语work后面的形容词短语consistent with their education and motivation作定语。 第10题 【正确答案】： 答案:but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此句主谓宾很简单：those cited failure。但是主语后面有定语从句who mentioned academic reason，宾语failure后面有不定式作定语to pass the qualifying examination。好在其中难写的academic一词在前一句中出现过。而failure to pass又在这句话的尾部再次出现了，所以真正需要听记的内容并不多也不难，关键在于把握句子结构。 第11题 【正确答案】： 答案:Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts, lack of finances [本题分数]： 7.0 分 【答案解析】 [解析] 此空所填内容不是完整的句子，而是最后一句的状语和主语。关键词是single, personal reasons和lack of finances。 none、八（共Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)小题,10共分）70.0 第1题 Communication Skills--Start Here !    Why you need to get your message across    Effective communication is all about conveying your messages to other people clearly and unambiguously. It's also about receiving information that others are sending to you, with as little distortion as possible.    Doing this involves effort from both the sender of the message and the receiver. And it's a process that can be fraught (充满) with error, with messages muddled by the sender, or misinterpreted by the recipient.  When this isn't detected, it can cause tremendous confusion, wasted effort and missed opportunity. In fact, communication is only successful when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information as a result of the communication. By successfully getting your message across, you convey your thoughts and ideas effectively. When not successful, the thoughts and ideas that you actually send do not necessarily reflect what you think, causing a communications breakdown and creating roadblocks that stand in the way of your goals--both personally and professionally.    In a recent survey of recruiters from companies with more than 50000 employees, communication skills were cited as the single more important decisive factor in choosing managers. The survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Business School, points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factor contributing to job success.    In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals continue to struggle, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively--whether in verbal or written format.  This inability makes it nearly impossible for them to compete effectively in the workplace, and stands in the way of career progression.     Being able to communicate effectively is therefore essential if you want to build a successful career. To do this, you must understand what your message is, what audience you are sending it to, and how it will be perceived. You must also weigh-in the circumstances surrounding your communications, such as situational and cultural context.    Communication Skills--The Importance of Removing Barriers    Problems with communication can pop-up at every stage of the communication process (which consists of the sender, encoding, the channel, decoding, the receiver, feedback and the context--see the diagram below). At each stage, there is the potential for misunderstanding and confusion.        To be an effective communicator and to get your point across without misunderstanding and confusion, your goal should be to lessen the frequency of problems at each stage of this process, with clear, concise, accurate, well-planned communications.  We follow the process through below:    Source...    As the source of the message, you need to be clear about why you're communicating, and what you want to communicate.  You also need to be confident that the information you're communicating is useful and accurate.    Message...    The message is the information that you want to communicate.    Encoding...    This is the process of transferring the information you want to communicate into a form that can be sent and correctly decoded at the other end. Your success in encoding depends partly on your ability to convey information clearly and simply, but also on your ability to anticipate and eliminate sources of confusion (for example, cultural issues, mistaken assumptions,  and missing information. )    A key part of this is knowing your audience:  Failure to understand who you are communicating with will result in delivering messages that are misunderstood.    Channel...    Messages are conveyed through channels,  with verbal channels including face-to-face meetings, telephone and videoconferencing; and written channels including letters, emails, memos and reports.    Different channels have  different strengths and weaknesses.  For example,  it's not particularly effective to give a long list of directions verbally, while you'll quickly cause problems if you give someone negative feedback using email.    Decoding...    Just as successful encoding is a skill, so is successful decoding (involving, for example, taking the time to read a message carefully, or listen actively to it. ) Just as confusion can arise from errors in encoding, it can also arise from decoding errors. This is particularly the case if the decoder doesn't have enough knowledge to understand the message.    Receiver...    Your message is delivered to individual members of your audience.  No doubt, you have in mind the actions or reactions you hope your message will get from this audience. Keep in mind, though, that each of these individuals enters into the communication process with ideas and feelings that will undoubtedly influence their understanding of your message, and their response. To be a successful communicator, you should consider these before delivering your message, and act appropriately.    Feedback...    Your audience will provide you with feedback, as verbal and nonverbal reactions to your communicated message. Pay close attention to this feedback, as it is the only thing that can give you confidence that your audience has understood your message. If you find that there has been a misunderstanding, at least you have the opportunity to send the message a second time.    Context...    The situation in which your message is delivered is the context.  This may include the surrounding environment or broader culture (corporate culture, international cultures, and so on ).    Removing Barriers at All These Stages    To deliver your messages effectively, you must commit to breaking down the barriers that exist within each of these stages of the communication process. Let's begin with the message itself. If your message is too lengthy, disorganized, or contains errors, you can expect the message to be misunderstood and misinterpreted. Use of poor verbal and body language can also confuse the message.    Barriers in context tend to stem from senders offering too much information too fast. When in doubt here, less is oftentimes more. It is best to be mindful of the demands on other people's time, especially in today's ultra-busy society.    Once you understand this, you need to work to understand your audience's culture, malting sure you can converse and deliver your message to people of different backgrounds and cultures within your own organization, in your country and even abroad. What is one of the findings of the survey' conducted by Katz Business School? A Superiors tend to be better communicators than their inferiors.
