A treating B introducing C handling D greeting 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义和上下文理解。由上下文逻辑可知，后文The fist thing…等实际上是对此处填入动词的说明，它们明显不是“介绍”(introducing)、“处理，应付”(handling)或者“问候，欢迎”(greeting)别人，而应属于“对待”(treating)他人的范畴，因此本题答案选[A]。 第2题 A around B beside C before D except 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查介词辨义和上下文理解。空格前所举的friend(朋友)、neighbour(邻居)两个例子实际上限定了此处填入介词的词义应为“周围”，即你身边的人或周围的人，因此选around。有一部分考生误选了beside，它虽可指“在…旁边”，但其所指很具体，一般不用于指人际关系。 第3题 A overlook B lose C forget D disturb 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义和上下文理解。overlook指“忽视，忽略”，lose指“丢失，遗失”，forget指“忘记，遗忘”，disturb指“打扰，扰乱”。由于此处的宾语them指代的是前面的people(人)，故根据上下文逻辑可知选[A]最恰当。部分考生误选了[C]项，是因为他们把填入动词的宾语them认为是前面所说的their names and birthdays(他们的名字和生日)，但仔细分析之后，尤其是根据空格后if you want to get closer to them中的them指代的是人这一点，我们认为选overlook最为恰当。 第4题 A when B what C where D why 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查从句连接词。由句子结构可知，空格后是一个表语从句，而从句成分完整，故应填入一个连接副词，[B]项可先排除。而when表示的是时间、why表示的是原因，这两种逻辑关系在这一句中都没有体现，所以只能选where。事实上，这一句的意思指的是“你可以由此开始拉近与他人的关系”。 第5题 A worrying B doubting C caring D boasting 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义和上下文理解。worry指“担心，忧虑”，doubt指“怀疑”，care指“关心，照料，在意”，boast指“夸耀，自夸”。[A]、[B]两项不难排除，而care about指的是害怕发生不好的事情的“担心，关心”，它一般不用人作宾语，故本题答案是[D]。boast about oneself指“自夸”，与后面的listening a lot(听别人的意见)正好形成对比。 第6题 A techniques B standards C resources D functions 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词辨义和上下文理解。由上下文文意不难看出，此处填入的词应指“方法，技巧”，故选techniques(技术，技巧，方法)。其余三个名词填入后都不合上下文逻辑：standard指“ 标准 excel标准偏差excel标准偏差函数exl标准差函数国标检验抽样标准表免费下载红头文件格式标准下载 ”，resource指“资源”function指“功能，作用”。 第7题 A Even B Only C For D Though 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查副词和上下文逻辑。由上下文文意不难看出，此处含有强调意味，指“即便是在如今的管理学研究中…”，因此选even(即便，即使)。其余三项填入都不合逻辑：only指“只有，唯有”，强调的是排他性；for是个介词，引出原因，且它引出原因时不能放在句首；though指“尽管”，表达的是让步关系。 第8题 A circumstances B consultations C correspondences D communications 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词辨义和上下文理解。由句意逻辑来看，空格后such as…是对应填入名词的一种举例说明，而能够概括business negotiations(生意谈判)和international exchanges(国际交流)两种事物的只能是circumstances(情况，事件，场合)，故本题选[A]。其余三项都属于形近干扰项：consultation指“咨询，磋商”，correspondence指“通信，信件”，communication指“交通，通讯”。 第9题 A Advise B allow C Encourage D Enable 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义和上下文理解。advise指“建议”allow指“允许”，encourage：指“鼓励”，enable指“使能够”。由于前文建议读者多倾听别人，故根据逻辑和常识可知此处应选encourage，指鼓励他人说话。 第10题 A obviously B naturally C genuinely D certainly 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查副词辨义和上下文理解。obviously指“明显地，显而易见地”，naturally指“自然地，天生地，无疑”，genuinely指“真诚地，真心地，真正地”，certainly指“当然，的确”。由于修饰的是描述心理的形容词interested(感兴趣的)，因此选[C]最恰当。 第11题 A adopt B develop C establish D improve 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义和搭配。adopt指“采纳，采取”，develop指“开发，发展，培养”，establish指“建立，成立”，improve指“改进，改善，提高”。由于空格前的主语quality(人的品质)要作填入动词的宾语，因此只能选[B]。其余三个动词都不能用quality作宾语。 第12题 A move B give C carry D bring 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词用法。carry sth. too far是个习惯用法，指“某事(做得)过分”，故本题答案是[C]。其余三个动词都没有这种用法。 第13题 A bottom B core C essence D faith 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词辨义和习惯用法。from the bottom of one's heart是个习惯表达，指“发自心底，发自内心深处”，因此本题选[A]。其余三个名词都没有类似用法：core指“核心，中心，果核”，essence指“本质，精华”，faith指“信任，信念”。 第14题 A discovered B estimated C imagined D recognized 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义和上下文理解。discover指“发现，发觉”，estimate指“评估，估计”，imagine指“想像，设想”，recognize指“认可，认出，承认”。此处用的是被动语态，而由上下文文意不难看出，句意指的是每个人都有我们能够发现的好品质，因此选[A]。其余三项填入都不合上下文逻辑。 第15题 A disappointed B dissatisfied C embarrassed D excited 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查形容词辨义和上下文理解。四个选项都是由动词过去分词转义而来的形容词：disappointed指“失望的”，dissatisfied指“不满意的，不满足的”，embarrassed指“尴尬的，难堪的”，excited指“兴奋的，激动的”。由于空格前的see to it是个习惯表达，指“注意，当心，留心”，故首先可排除正面含义的[D]项。而由上下文文意以及常识可知，此处指我们在欣赏或者赞美别人的优点时，要注意不能过火，目的当然是不让他人感到尴尬和不安，因此[C]项最合题意。 第16题 A across B in C on D over 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查介词用法。本题较为简单，句意很明确，那就是脸上要保持微笑，因此介词用on。其余三个介词填入都不合逻辑：across强调的是从一边到另一边的“跨过，横过”，in强调的是“在…里面或内部”，over则强调不相接触的“在…上方”。 第17题 A sense B habit C concept D meaning 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词辨义和用法。(a) sense of humour是个常用表达，指“幽默感”。事实上，sense本义就是指人的“感觉，感官，官能”，“幽默感”无疑属于其范畴。其余三个名词填入都不合逻辑：habit指“习惯”，concept指“概念”，meaning指“意义”。 第18题 A self-confident B self-oriented C self-conscious D self-satisfied 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查形容词辨义和上下文理解。self-confident指“自信的”，self-oriented指“以自我为中心的，只关注自身的”，self-conscious指“自觉的，有自我意识的”，self-satisfied指“自鸣得意的，自满的”。由于句子主语是一个肯定的Most important of all(最重要的)，因此本题应选含褒义的[A]项。 第19题 A approaches B lines C directions D ways 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词辨义和上下文理解。approach指“接近，途径，步骤”，line指“绳索，线路”，direction指“方向，导向”，way指“方式，方法，途径”。由于前文提出的是与他人打交道、拉近人际关系的几点方法，此处是进行总结，故选[D]。考生误选较多的是[A]项，但approach多用于指条理和先后次序很清楚的“步骤”，因此不如[D]项恰当。 第20题 A and B for C or D then 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查连词用法。祈使句后跟有并列句时，连词用and，强调后面并列句是祈使句的一种结果。其余三项都没有这一用法：for作连词时，引出的是原因而非结果；or引出的是一种否定情形下的结果(即与前面祈使句的做法相反时的结果)，指“否则”；而then指“然后，那么”，它是个副词，它连接句子时，其前要有逗号将上下旬隔开。 二、Reading Comprehension（共10小题,共20.0分）Read the following three texts．Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D． 第1题 Companies have the legal right to monitor employees' e-mail and instant messaging. Many do, whether they warn their workers or not. Last month the University of Tennessee released the e-mail correspondence between an administrator and a married college president in which the administrator wrote of her love for him, and of her use of drugs and alcohol to deal with her unhappiness. Employers, including The New York Times and Dow Chemical, have fired workers for sending improper e-mail.    But the fastest-growing area for Internet spying is the home. SpectorSoft, a leading manufacturer of spyware, at first marketed its products to parents and employers. Sales jumped enormously, however, when the company changed its pitch to target romantic partners. "In just one day of running Spector on my home PC, I was able to identify my boyfriend's true personality," a message on the company's website declares.    What can you expect if someone puts SpectorSoft's Spector 2.2 on your computer? It will take hundreds of records an hour of every website and e-mail that appears on your screen, and store them so that someone who is spying on you can review them later. A new product, SpectorSoft's eBlaster, will send the spy detailed e-mail reports updating your computer activities frequently. These products keep the people being spied on totally unaware.    SpectorSoft has sold 35 000 copies of its spyware, and it has only a piece of a flourishing market. WinWhatWhere, another big player, sells primarily to businesses, but what it calls the "discontented family member" market has been finding WinWhatWhere. Many smaller companies have sites that sell relatively crude "key-loggers", software that records every keystroke typed on a computer.    Isn't all this spying on loved ones a little creepy? Not to SpectorSoft president Doug Fowler. "If you're in a committed relationship and you get caught because of evidence online, as far as I'm concerned you deserve to be caught," he says. Richard Eaton, president of WinWhatWhere, recognizes that in a perfect world users would reveal that they have placed monitoring software on a computer. But WinWhatWhere Investigator has a feature that allows it to be completely hidden. "Our customers demanded it," he says. From the text we learn that most companies in the US ______. A forbid their employees to get online at work B respect the online privacy of their employees C reveal the privacy of their employees publicly D monitor the online activities of their employees 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。短文第一句即指出：companies haw the legal right to monitor...(公司有合法的权力来监控其员工的电子邮件和即时通讯)，第二句紧接着又说：Many do(许多公司都这样)。而由常识可知，e-mail和instant messaging都属于网上活动(online activities)的范围，因此本题答案就是[D]。 第2题 The future of spyware is the most promising when it comes to ______. A standardizing individual online patterns B overseeing personal online behaviors C diversifying present online patterns D regulating various online behaviors 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 分析推理题。短文第二段以SpectorSoft这个公司为例，说明了监控软件的市场情况。该段第一句首先指出，上网监控软件发展最快的市场还是家庭。紧接着说SpectorSoft最初以家长和雇主为市场目标，但当该公司将市场目标定向恋爱中的情侣时，销售额却剧增，并以具体例子进行了证明。由此可以合理推知，监控软件的目标主要是个人，被用于监控个人的网上行为，故本题选[B]。其余三项中，[A]中的standardizing(使标准化)、[C]中的diversifying(使多样化)在原文中都没有体现，由常识也可知不对；[D]项中的regulating( 规范 编程规范下载gsp规范下载钢格栅规范下载警徽规范下载建设厅规范下载 )在原文中没有体现，而various online behaviors(不同的上网行为)所指也太泛。 第3题 Form the text we know that SpectorSoft's Spector 2.2 works ______. A creatively B precisely C secretly D quickly 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 分析推理题。短文中提到Spector 2.2的地方是第三段第一、二句，因此应细读这两句。其中第二句指出：It will take hundreds of records...can review them later(它会将你的电脑屏幕上出现的每一个网站、每一封电子邮件都 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 下来，每小时能记录几百条，让监控你的人过后可以浏览这些记录)。由这一句显然无法说明这一软件是creatively(有创造性地)、precisely(精确地)或quickly(迅速地)。再看后文，我们发现作者又举了一种软件为例，并且在该段最后一句总结说：These products keep the people being spied on totally unaware(这些产品都让被监控的人毫无察觉)，表明这些软件(包括Spector 2.2)运行时都是secretly(秘密地，隐秘地)，故本题答案是[C]。 第4题 What might WinWhatWhere do in the future? A Purchase small software companies. B Turn its attention to at-home net users. C Follow the keystrokes of computer users. D Focus its attention on the business circles. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。本题实际上属于词句理解题，因为答题的关键在于考生对短文第四段第二句的理解。该句前一分句先指出WinWhatWhere这个公司的软件主要销售给公司，而后一分句紧接着指出：but what it calls the “discontented family member” market has been finding WinWhatWhere(但其所称的“牢骚满腹的家人”这一市场一直都在找寻WinWhatWhere)。根据常识，既然在这些人群中有市场，那么WinWhatWhere将来肯定会将注意力转向这一市场，因此本题答案就是[B]。其余三项都无法由这一名句合理推知。 第5题 WinWhatWhere Investigator is characterized by its ability ______. A to cover its whole functioning up B to monitor exact online behaviors C to reveal its existence on the computer D to gather every piece of online information 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。答案对应于短文倒数第二句话：But WinWhatWhere Investigator has a feature that allows it to be completely hidden(但WinWhatWhere Investigator这个软件具有完全隐形的特点)，句中的feature对应于题目中的characterized，而be completely hidden则对应于该项中的cover its whole functioning up。 第6题 The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood.    The first colonists did not, as many people imagined, find an entire continent covered by a continuous forest. Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant.    The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of the economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as a fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder, and tannic acid, used for tanning leather.    The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful. However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technological innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron. Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests in North America during the colonial period? A Their economic value was little known. B They contained only a few types of trees. C They covered almost the entire continent. D They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。短文第二段第一句指出：The first colonists did not，as many people imagined，find an entire continent covered by a continuous forest(最初的殖民者并未像许多人所想像的那样，找到一处被连绵不断的森林全部覆盖的大陆)。由此即可推知，殖民时期的许多人都主观认为整个北美大陆应当覆满森林，故本题答案是[C]。 第7题 What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period mentioned in the text? A They were more expensive than American houses. B They were generally built with imported materials. C They were usually built from materials other than wood. D They were typically smaller than homes in North America 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 分析推理题。答题的关键在第三段第三句：Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain(房屋和所有建筑在某种程度上来说都由木材建成，这在英国却不为人知)，据此即可推知英国树木较少，房子都少用木材，而用其他材料建成，故选[C]。 第8题 Why does the author mention gunpowder in Paragraph 3? A To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare. B To give an example of a product made from wood consumption. C To illustrate some negative aspects of some industrial processes. D To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 分析推理题。短文第三段提到gunpowder(火药)的地方是在其最后一句：it was used as the source of important industrial compounds，such as...a component of gunpowder…(它被用作一些重要的工业化合物的原料，比如……火药的一种成分……)，由其逻辑关系可知，提到火药的目的就是为了说明木材的用途，因此[B]项“举例说明用木材制成的产品”就是正确答案。 第9题 Why was the use of coke smelting advantageous according to the text? A It led to advances in technology. B It stimulated the demand for wood. C It was less expensive than wood smelting. D It produced a stronger type of iron than charcoal smelting. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。短文最后一段提到了两种炼铁方法：coke smelting(焦炭冶炼)和charcoal smelting(木炭冶炼)，并且对比了两种方法的优劣，其中倒数第二句指出：Coke smelting led to technological innovations…(焦炭冶炼导致了技术创新……)，这与[A]项一致。其余三项都与该段原文不符。 第10题 What does the text mainly discuss? A The roots of the Industrial Revolution. B The advantages of using wood in the colonies. C The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron. D The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 主旨题。通读全文可知，短文介绍的主要是美洲大陆木材充足，以及木材充足为殖民地发展所带来的正面影响和负面影响，因此[D]项最能概括全文主旨，其中的effects一词既包括了正面影响，也包括了不利影响。 三、Writing（本大题2小题．每题15.0分，共30.0分。You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2． ） 第1题 You have an appointment with Mr John Smith, your client, in his office the day after tomorrow. But you won't be able to meet him, as your boss has just told you to deal with some urgent business in another city.    Write an e-mail to Mr John Smith,    (1) to apologize for postponing the appointment;    (2) to explain why the appointment has to be postponed; and    (3) to make a new appointment.    You should write approximately 100 words. Do not use your own name at the end of your e-mail message. Use "Wang Lin" instead. 【正确答案】： Dear Mr John Smith,    I'm writing to apologize for not being able to keep our appointment in your office the day after tomorrow. The fact is that my boss has just told me to deal with some urgent business in Guangzhou. But I might be back this Friday. And I'll come to your office at 2 p. m that day if that is convenient for you. I'll check my mailbox tomorrow to see if there is a message from you. Otherwise, I'll see you at that time. I sincerely hope that you will accept my deep apology and the new arrangement.     Yours Sincerely,    Wang Lin [本题分数]： 15.0 分 【答案解析】 [写作要点]    (i) 根据题目所给要点写作，注意题干中也含有一定信息，需要在正文中体现。    (ii) 尽管是e-mail这种形式的写作，但由于写作对象是client(客户)，故语气和用词不能太过随意，而应正式一点以示尊重。 第2题 Below is a list of estimates of the average temperature rise in China in the 21st century. Look at it and write an essay of about 120 words making reference to the following two points:    (1) a description of the listed information; and    (2) your comment on it.     【正确答案】： From the picture, we can see that the average temperature in China will rise quickly in the near future. For example, it will rise 1.3 to 2.1 centigrade in 2020, 1.5 to 2.8 centigrade in 2030, 2.3 to 3.3 centigrade in 2050, and even 3.9 to 5.0 centigrade in 2090.    The reason for the rise is obvious: the Greenhouse Effect caused by human pollution. As we all know, today we have more and more cars, buses, trucks, trains and airplanes. They do have brought much convenience to us,  but at the same time they have brought some serious environmental problems, one of which is the Greenhouse Effect.    The numbers in the diagram warn us that we human beings should make efforts to protect our environment. First of all, we should try to use some less pollutive transport, such as bicycles, and encourage public transportation. Secondly, we should learn to make good use of the green energies, such as solar energy and wind power. Finally, all human beings should remember the fact that we have only one earth. Only we all realize the importance of environmental protection can our sky be bluer, our rivers be clearer, and our next generations live a happier life. [本题分数]： 15.0 分 【答案解析】 [写作要点]    (i) 仔细观察图画，抓住图画表达的主题思想，利用图画来为写作主旨的展开服务。    (ii) 按照试卷给出的写作提纲安排和展开段落，可补充一个结论段，深化和强调写作主旨。    (iii) 由于图画带有比较性质，因此应在阐述清楚图画信息的基础上总结出趋势并提出解决办法。 none、四（共Reading Comprehension(子母填空)小题,5共分）5.0 第1题 Lee Beaty:    Your "Health For Life" articles give excellent advice on simple lifestyle changes to improve health. Whenever possible, I ride my bicycle to work. While I was a student, I also rode to class. We need to educate motorists about sharing the road with cyclists, and create bike lanes to encourage more people to go from point A to point B while getting some exercise, saving fuel and improving the environment.    Roberto Anson:    You had a fascinating exploration in your "Health For Life" articles. Technology often makes us give up responsibility for our health. The United States has the best medical technology but unequal access to care. The point is that, increasingly, only the healthy and well-off can afford health care. Your advice to skip the heart scan and spend the money on a health club membership shifts the focus from technology to personal responsibility.    Fred Leeds:    Dr Nancy Rigotti's "Kicking the Habit" is tried, but not necessarily true advice. As a former three-pack- a-day smoker, I tried these approaches many times with no success until I finally accepted a fundamental truth about myself. Only after I got my mind set to the point where my desire to quit smoking was stronger than the desire to continue was I able to put the cigarettes down.    Bill Wittig:    It is well documented that people with the Type D personality have chemicals in their brains that differ from those of normal people. Many of them never get mental health treatment because they work, have families and by all observable criteria are functioning well. They do not realize their problem. What might prevent the Type D personality from having a heart attack is some psychological treatment as well as fish oil.    Kristin Linklater:    Your magazine tells me that not only must I exercise to avoid heart attacks, but I must be happy. I must laugh a lot, or my heart will be starved of necessary chemicals. I must have friends and community to support me, or I'll certainly die soon. I tried to take the Type D personality test that will determine whether I'm going to die of negativity, but your column headings, "False, Less false, Neutral, Less true, True" make it impossible to figure out my behavior.  Statements [A] You can hardly force yourself to do a thing until you feel like doing it. [B] Mental health treatment may help prevent some physical problems. [C] We'd better count more on regular exercise than medical care. [D] I'm not interested in taking any behavior test proposed in magazines. [E] Cycling is good for health as well as for our surroundings. [F] To save money and improve health, I quit driving to work. [G] I'm still puzzled as to whether your advice and the listed personality details suit me or not. Lee Beaty 【正确答案】： [E] [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 通读第一人的发言，我们发现她说明的是自己践行杂志提出的建议、骑自行车上下班的情况，并指出机动车司机应当与骑自行车的人共用道路、划出自行车道、鼓励更多的人骑自行车出行、从而节省燃料并改善环境。将其中的关键词(bi)cycle/cyclist/bike、environment与选项进行对照即可知答案是[E]。 第2题 Roberto Anson 【正确答案】： [C] [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 第二人的发言对于杂志文章的态度也是肯定的。他首先指出，技术常常让人们对自己的健康不负责任，然后批评了美国的医疗制度，最后再次肯定杂志的建议，认为：Your advice to skip the heart scan...to personal responsibility(你们建议不去做心脏扫描而把钱花在健身俱乐部上，这正是把重心从医疗技术转移到个人责任上来)，其意就是他赞同重视日常锻炼、不过分依赖医疗技术的观点，由此可知应选[C]。 第3题 Fred Leeds 【正确答案】： [A] [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 第三人首先否定了一位专家的建议，指出：Dr Nancy Rigotti's “Kicking the Habit” is...not necessarily true advice，然后用自己的亲身经历为例，说明了一个truth：Only after I got my：mind set to the point...was I able to put the cigarettes down(只有当我下定决心，戒烟的愿望压过继续吸烟的欲望时，我才能真正把烟放下)。由此可以推知，他的意思就是只有当自己真正想戒烟时，才能戒掉烟，强迫是不行的。这与[A]项的意思一致。 第4题 Bill Wittig 【正确答案】： [B] [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 第四个人讨论的主要是Type D这种性格的人。他指出，这种性格的人大脑中有与正常的人不一样的化学物质，许多这种性格的人从未进行过心理卫生治疗，因为他们的日常生活都很正常。然后他指出，这些人没有意识到自己的问题，而心理治疗和鱼油一样可以预防Type D这种性格的人患上心脏病。综合这些内容可知，他强调的是心理卫生治疗有助于预防某些生理疾病，因此选[B]。 第5题 Kristin Linklater 【正确答案】： [G] [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 最后一个人一开始就用多个含must的句子表明，按照杂志的建议自己该如何如何做；然后在最后一句用but一转话锋，指出：but your column headings，“False，Less false，Neutral，Less true，True” make it impossible to figure out my behavior(然而你们栏目的标题“误，较误，中性，较真，真”使得根本无法弄清我的行为属于哪一种)，说明无法根据杂志上的类型将自己对号入座。选项中含有不确定义的选项只有[G]，故该项就是本题正确答案。    注意[D]和[F]是两个多余项。前者指“我对参加杂志上提出的行为测试不感兴趣”，后者指“为了省钱和改善体质，我不再开车上班”，将它们与原文进行对照即可知，这两个选项都是用原文中的词句臆造而成，都与原文相应部分出入较大，故都不正确。 五、Listening Comprehension（共25小题,共25.0分） 第1题 What does the man propose to do first?

M: Yes, walk straight up this road till you come to the traffic lights. The college is around the corner. You won't miss it.    关键在于听懂女士问话中的how to get to The King's College一处，这表明她是在问路。 第3题 Why does the woman ask about the time? A She does not have a watch. B She is nervous about the appointment. C John's watch keeps good time. D John is afraid to be late. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: John, what time is it now? M: It's still early, just after two.

My father gave it to me as a birthday present. He knows red's my favourite colour.    男士赞美女士的衣服漂亮，女士说那是她父亲送给她的礼物，因此他们谈论的就是女士的衣服。其他各项都是干扰信息。 第5题 What do the speakers decide to do? A The man will bring some food back for dinner. B They will go to their friend's home for supper. C The woman will fill the refrigerator before supper. D They will eat out for dinner. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Mike, there's not much left in the refrigerator.

B Relieved. C Upset. D Sarcastic. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Why on earth are you so late? I've been waiting for more than half an hour! M: Why? Because I was almost killed. Some awful driver hit the back wheel of my bicycle and sent me onto the pavement. W: Oh, my God! Are you hurt? M: No, fortunately I'm fine. W: Thank goodness for that!    本题考查的是对表达的理解。女士最后一句中用的Thank goodness(谢天谢地)是一种放下心来的表达，故选[B]。 第7题 What is the most probable relationship of the two people? A Salesperson and customer.

W: Well, I've just left school, actually, and I'm looking for a job between now and when I go to college. M: It doesn't sound as though we can help, Katie. You see, our clients are very demanding — especially when it comes to the new office technology. W: Oh, that's no problem. I took extra classes in office skills at school. M: Oh, perhaps you'd like to outline what you've been doing? W: I started by learning keyboard skills. Then I went on to learn about word processing. M: Good. You seem qualified from the technical point of view. But how well do you think you'll get along with people in an office? W: I think I'm quite adaptable. I belonged to the drama society, as well as working on the school magazine. And I played a bit of sport. So I'm used to working as part of a team. M: Sounds promising. Let's see... There's a request from Johnson's Imports for "a bright youngster ... "    第四轮对话中女士明确指出：I'm eighteen。 第12题 What kind of job is Katie looking for? A A part-time job for a school magazine.

Er, I'm arriving at the airport at 9 o'clock and taking off at 10 o'clock. W: What are you going to do in Italy? Lie on the beach and get nicely sun-tanned? M: I enjoy sunbathing on the beach. But this holiday is going to be a bit different. It's more of a cultural holiday. I hope to visit some museums, art galleries, taste a bit of the food and the drink, and experience the lifestyle of Italy. W: Sounds pretty interesting. M: Yeah, I've got a whole list of museums and art galleries. And in fact, I'm hiring a car in Milan so I can drive around a bit. W: That's a good idea. Hiring a car makes it easier to see the city. Well, actually I'm going to have a holiday which is rather different from yours. M: Where are you going then? W: Haven't decided yet. I may go to the beach and stay in a small hotel where I can watch the sea. I just want to take it easy, you know. M: I understand. You've worked too hard this semester. A bit of rest will do you good. W: That's true. Oh, Gosh! I've got to go now. Have a nice holiday! M: Thanks. You too!

M: I guess not much different from everyone else. I'm interested in sport, and I run about 3 miles every day. I particularly enjoy cross-country running, where you have to run across fields, jump over streams and so on. While I'm running I think about all sorts of things, and at the end of a run I'm sometimes surprised to find that I've managed to solve a problem that was on my mind.    Next year I'm going to try the London Marathon. It's a long, hard race — 26 miles, or 42 kilometres — and you have to be tough to finish, but I very much want to do it. I worry a bit about getting old and I'd like to prove to myself that I'm still almost as fit as I was twenty years ago.    I'm interested in climbing as well as running. I'll never become an expert climber, but I know what I'm doing in the mountains. I successfully completed a course in snow and ice climbing when I was younger, and I've done a series of easy climbs in the Alps during the last few years. My wife doesn't share my interest in mountains. She agreed to go climbing with me once, but she found that she felt ill as soon as she got above 1 000 metres, so we decide to follow different hobbies. W: You certainly seem to enjoy various types of recreation. All right, Mr Smith. Thanks for your interesting talk.    本题关键是听清男士话语中I'm interested in climbing as well as running一句，其前的部分介绍的是跑步，而其后介绍的是爬山，因此答案是[C]。 第19题 What is the main reason for the man to run every day?

B Several months ago. C A year ago. D Two years ago. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 22-25 W: Dr Smith, you were a political journalist in America and I was told that you've chosen to live here, a mountain village like this in the Himalayan Community. Could you please tell me why you came to India and settled down here? M: Yes, of course. I came to India a year ago to have a better understanding of the country. After I arrived, I had to find a place where I could live and write. Of course there were many places for me to choose. But after some months I settled down happily in this village because I like the countryside better and it is a little cooler than those in the plains. W: Have you ever thought of a typical village as a better choice? M: Yes, I have. Yet no such thing exists. In fact I wasted a lot of time looking for the typical village. Conditions vary too widely. But the villages I stayed in had much in common— poverty, dirt, and ignorance. W: But in spite of all this, you still feel very happy. Is the experience in this country so important to you that you came all the way from the United States? M: Well, that's also the question that the villagers ask me. They think that I'm crazy to give up my comfortable life in the United States and isolate myself from the outside world in this remote village, like a retired old man Why have I come? I've put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas have changed. I've come to believe that what is happening in the Third World is more important than anything else. But to understand how three-quarters of the world's people live, and how their future might affect the rest of the world, I feel that I first have to try and share their way of life. W: I must say I find your view on this issue very convincing. I'm sure when you go back to your own country you'll find your stay here very rewarding.    答案在于第一轮对话中男士回答中第二句中的a year ago。 第23题 Why did Dr Smith come to settle down in a village in the Himalayas?
