参考答案及解析:
1. B。第一个 education 意为“教育;教育学”,为不可数名词,因此不用冠词;而第二个 education 表示特指,意为“年轻人的教育”,因此用定冠词,故答案为 B。
2. A。根据上句中的时间状语的提示可知谓语动词是指过去某时正在发生的事情,因此用过去进行时态,故答案为 A。
3. D。上句“小吉姆整天在吃糖果”是“他不饿”的原因,因此答案为 D。no wonder 意为“难怪,不足为怪。”
4. B。情态动词 must 表推测时只能用于肯定句。在否定句中用 can’t 代替must。can’t 意为“不可能”;may not 意为“可能不”;be able to 表示经过努力或克服了困难之后做成了某事的能力,意为“能,会”。句中的破折号起解释说明的作用。“我几分钟前在公司见过他”,因此“不可能在上海”,故答案为 B。
5. A。强调句的基本结构由“It is / was 被强调部分 that / who 句子其余部分”组成,如果被强调的是人用 that 或 who;其他用 that。句意为:到了家我才发现我的钱包不见了。
6. D。the number of 修饰可数名词复数作主语时,后面的谓语动词用单数形式;There be 必须与后面的主语在人称和数上保持一致。tickets 为复数名词,因此用were。故答案为 D。
7. A。how come 意为“怎么”;how dare 意为“怎敢”;how about 意为“怎麽样”;how long 意为“多久”。根据语境“怎么穿着鞋进了实验室?进来之前你该脱掉。我早告诉过你”可知答案为 A。
8. D。此题考查 whenever 引导的时间状语从句。句意为“每当我从衣袋里拿出一包糖果的时候,他们毫不掩饰他们觉得好笑”。
9. B。in a word 意为“总之”;in general 意为“一般地;大体上;通常”;in particular 意为“特别”;in total 意为“整个地;总共”。根据句意“总的说来,她的作品不错,不过这篇文章糟透了”答案为 B。
10. C。作结果状语时,不定式常表示没有预料到的情况或结果,即预料之外;而分词常表示一种自然而然的结果,即预料之中。根据语境“发现门开着,有东西丢了”是他没想到的,因此可知应用不定式。又因句子的主语 he 与动词 find是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用主动语态,因此答案为 C(www.yygrammar.com)。
11. A。devote…to 为习惯用语,意为“把……献给;把……专用于”。句意为“我们应当勤奋地而且忠诚地献身于我们的职责。”
12. A。break out 和 last 都是不及物动词,都不能用于被动语态,因此答案为 A。句意为“抗日战争 1937 年爆发,持续了八年。”
13. D。while 作并列连词,表示对比或相反的情况,意为“而、却”。句意为“当飞机抵达时,一部分侦探等在主楼里面,而另一部分则等在停机坪上。”
14. B。as 和 which 引导非限定性定语从句,都可以指整个句子,有时可以通用。但 as 引导的非限定性定语从句可以放在句首,也可以放在句中。which 只能放在句中。句意为“周所周知,台湾是中国的一部分。”
15. A。上句提出建议“我们周日去动物园好吗?”根据答语中的后句“我喜欢看各种动物”可知是表示赞成对方的建议,故答案为 A。意为“我非常赞成。”
16. A。by all means 表示同意,意为“完全可以”。
17. A。I’ve never seen a finer one 的实际意思是 This is the finest one I’ve ever seen。
18. B。might just as well (后接动词原形)的意思是“不如……”或“还是……的好”。
19. B。it 为形式宾语,真正的宾语是 that he didn’t want to enter politics。
20. B。表示过去可能发生而实际上未发生的事,用might 动词完成式。若只是推测过去可能的事,则可用 may [might] 动词完成式,如 He may [might] have gone. 他可能已经走了。
21. B。根据句意,填空处应用将来时态(实为将来时态的省略式);另外注意,频度副词本来通常置于助动词之后,但是若省略主要动词,即当频度副词和助动词置于句末时,应将频度副词置于助动词之前。
22. D。and so won a place…可视为 and so he won a place…之省略。
23. C。want 表示“想要”时,其后通常接不定式,又由于主语与see 之间含有被动关系,故用被动式。
24. A。in case 在此表示“以防万一”。
25. D。由句意和常识推知。
26. A。we can’t get there by tomorrow 为客观事实,故宜用陈述语气。
27. C。该句的正常词序为 We try to spend the little time we have together wisely.
28. A。where 指“在……的地方”,用以引导地点状语从句。
29. A。句中四个动词为并列谓语,应时态一致(www.yygrammar.com)。
30. C。第一空应填 which,in front of which there is an apple tree 为修饰 the old house 的非限制性定语从句;第二空填 where,用以引导表语从句。

参考答案及解析:
1. C。用现在完成时表示影响,即指现在已经作出决定。
2. B。用现在完成时表示影响或结果,即现在笔不见了,是由于某人已经把它拿走了的结果。
3. D。用现在进行时表示现在正在进行的动作。
4. A。从下文的语境看,既然现在叫对方重复一遍,说明“没听清对方的最后一点”应发生在过去(即说此话之前)。
5. C。这时用一般过去时表示过去曾经是老师,但现在不是了。
6. B。before 用作副词时不与具体时间连用,泛指“以前”,通常与一般过去时或现在完成时连用。
7. A。由no是对前句的否定可知现在不在部队服役,是以前“服过役”,故用一般过去时。
8. A。have been to…去过某地(已回来),have gone to…到某地去了(没回来);又因为问的是Tom回来之前到去过某地,故用过去完成时态。
9. D。从“我们只谈了几句话”可知,当我们去拜访时,Professor Smith“正要”离开了,D是过去进行时表示过去将来意义。
10. C。上句“我本不该对你那么无礼”是对过去情况的自责,答语“你当时的确很生气”,用一般过去时,did 在 lose 前表示强调。
11. D。问句是对过去情况的猜测,所以答句用一般过去时。I didn’t是I didn’t meet him the other day 的省略。
12. B。因为在时间状语从句中要用一般现在时代替一般将来时。若强调从句动作发生在主句动作之前时,用现在完成时代替将来完成时,本题属后一种情况。
13. B。因为 these years 是包括现在在内的,故用现在完成时。
14. D。由于见朋友发生在过去(即昨天),而很久没有见到朋友自然是昨天的见面之前,即属于过去的过去,故用过去完成时。
15. C。句子的前半句说上午打电话时没有人接电话,而后半句问对方当时在什么地方。显然,句子前后两部分的时间应一致,即用一般过去时。
16. A。从第一句话She ought to stop working 可知“他仍然在学习”,故后面用现在完成进行时态。
17. D。受前一句left的影响,易误选B。题干中的since说明此处应用现在完成时态。从问句中也可看出来,此处强调动作对现在的影响,故要用现在完成时的被动式。
18. B。说话之前“忘了”,故用一般过去时态;第二空应用一般过去时的被动语态形式。
19. C。指将来某时或某段时间正发生的事用将来进行时。
20. D。一般将来时表示将要发生的动作,而将来完成时表示将来某个时间之前已经发生或完成的动作。根据语境可知是强调将来的结果,应用将来完成时。
21. C。意思是:刚才我想下公共汽车时,(我才发现)靠近我坐的那个人一直坐在我的外衣上。表示从过去某一时刻开始一直延续到另一过去时间仍在进行的动作或状态用过去完成进行时。
22. B。该题考查根据语境选用正确时态题。上句说“你为什么没去参加会议”,据此回答“我当时正在等我姑姑从美国打来的长途电话”,说的是“你们开会时”我正在等一个电话。
23. C。指到目前为止还没有人把这件事通知我。相当于在后面省略了so far。
24. B。句意:戏剧在我到达之前就已上演了半小时,即表示“过去的过去”,且短暂性动词不与持续性时间连用,故须将 start→be on 才可与持续性时间连用。
25. D。从昨天坏了一直到今天来时还没有修好,表示从过去某一时刻开始一直延缓到现在的动作或状态要作现在完成时态。

【答案与解析】
1. C。根据题意可知,说话者是将when people do it together和when people don’t do it together这两种情况比较,故选比较级。注意不要选D,因为在此题是要用副词修饰动词,不能用形容词。另外,根据句末的higher too也可知道此题是考查比较级。
2. D。首先,根据连系动词后要接形容词作表语这一特点,可排除A和C。另外,使役动词make后可接动词原形(不带to的不定式)或过去分词作宾语补足语,但不能接现在分词,故可排除选项B。
3. D。take sth seriously的意思是“认真对待某事”“认真考虑某事”。
4. C。副词narrowly在此表示“勉强地”,又如:He narrowly escaped being run over. 他差点儿被车压死。 The proposal to change the rules was narrowly defeated by 201 votes to 196. 建议改变规则的提议以196票对201票的微弱差额被否决了。本题句意:篮球赛的最后比分是93比94。我们以微弱的劣势输掉了比赛。
5. B。因题目把这组新学生与前面一组学生进行比较,故用比较级。
6. B。注意句中的Yes,由于答话者对问话者的“你需要帮助吗?”作了肯定回答,说明答话者独自完成工作有困难,故填more than。
7. C。由于是将“Love me, love my dog”与“Love me, love my book”进行比较,故用比较级。此题的巧妙之处在于句中没有出现than,而是给出两个待比较的proverb。
8. B。句子大意为:由于铁路提速了,所以高速公路和航空业要提高服务质量来竞争客源。因将“高速公路和航空”与“铁路”比较,故用比较级。
9. B。题目中将“放入冰箱中冷冻”与“不放入冰箱中冷冻”作比较,故用比较级。句意为:史密斯家人晚餐时上的甜瓜若能放入冰箱中冷冻一下味道会更好些。
10. B。这四个副词中,通常只有far可用于修饰比较。注:quite有时也可用于修饰比较better,但它只用于表示“身体康复”,不用于其他意义。
11. C。因为是从他所写的所有歌中选出一首来比较,故用最高级(from www.yygrammar.com)。
12. B。因是两者比较,故用比较级,可将答案锁定在B和C之间;再根据句意,排除C。

VI. Reading Comprehension (38 points)
Passage 1
I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?
Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.
Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.
What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind— they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.
What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby, I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.
1. We get the impression from the first paragraph that the author
A used to live in the country B used to work in the city
C works in the city D lives in the country
2. In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPT
A a strong sense of fear B lack of communication
C housing conditions D a sense of isolation
3. The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPT
A daily necessities B fresh fruits
C designer clothes D fresh vegetables
4. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?
A Original B Quiet C Arrogant D Insensitive
5. Do you think the author will move to the country?
A Yes, he will do so B No, he will not do so
C It is difficult to tell D He is in two minds
Passage 2
Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.
Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.
No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.
Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.
6. In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ of face-to-face contact in social settings.
A nature B limitation C usefulness D creativity
7. It is implied in the passage that_______
A local news used to be the only source of information
B local news still takes a significant place
C national news is becoming more popular
D international news is the fastest transmitted news
8. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?
A To possess information used to be a privilege
B Public libraries have replaced private libraries
C Communication means more than transmission
D Information influences ways of life and thinking
9. From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.
A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass media
B happy about the drastic changes in the mass media
C pessimistic about the future of the mass media
D concerned about the wrong use of the mass media
Passage 3
Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.
With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.
We should be able to clone the bone marrow for children and adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.
We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.
Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.
The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.
10.Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by___________.
A removing the damaged part of the heart
B replacing the old heart with a cloned one
C repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy ones
D giving the patients injections of various medicines
11. The word “infertile”(Line 1, Para.2) most probably means“____________”.
A unable to give birth to a child
B with physical and emotional problems
C short of time and money
D separated from each other for long
12. According to the passage, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology may be in ____________.
A the treatment of heart attacks
B the bearing of babies
C the cure of blood diseases
D the detection of gene-related diseases
13. Cancer may be cured with the cloning technology by___________.
A attacking the diseased cells with healthy ones
B controlling the growth of the cells
C detecting disordered genes in the cancel cells
D activating cancer cells by switching them on
14. According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that___________.
A it may be out of human control
B it has brought about few benefits so far
C people still know little about it
D people are afraid of such technology
Passage 4
Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.
Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.
Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.
Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.
Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.
Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.
15. The new idea about education in the U.S. is that__________.
A. everyone should get a college degree
B. It’s no use for adults to go to college
C. a high school diploma is the end of education
D. adults should go on learning after graduating from school
16. What’s the purpose for adults to continue their education?
A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.
B. Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.
C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.
D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.
17. Which of the following statement is true?
A. There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.
B. Only those who want to get more money should go on with their education.
C. People take continuing education can get a good job.
D. All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.
18. Usually, the continuing education program is given________.
A. in a small size and expensively
B. only for working people
C. only in community buildings or churches
D. by community colleges and public schools
19. The best title for the passage would be _________.
A. Continuing Education Classes
B. The Importance of a College Degree
C. A Good Way to Earn More Money
D. Difference Choices for Adults

以前,那些稀罕的和外国进口的水果只有富人才买得起,但现在即使不是每个人都能品尝到,也一定是我们每天购物时所能见识到的。变化这么大,以致我不再对新奇的果品过多地关注,而被普通的东西所吸引了。在那些常见而“廉价”的蔬菜里面某种奇怪而又令人不安的事情正在发生。

The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.

Passage 2
I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?
Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.
Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.
What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind— they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.
What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby, I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.
5. We get the impression from the first paragraph that the autho
A used to live in the country B used to work in the city

9. Do you think the author will move to the country?
A Yes, he will do so B No, he will not do so
C It is difficult to tell D He is in two minds
Passage 3
Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.
Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.
Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.
Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.
Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.
Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.

Passage 4
Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.
With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.
We should be able to clone the bone marrow for children and adults suffering from leukemia(白血病).This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.
We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.
Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.

Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyone’s diet, are certainly part of our everyday shopping experience. So much so that instead of focusing on the novel, I am drawn to the commonplace. Here, among the “humble” vegetables, something strange and disturbing is going on.

Passage 2
Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.
Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.
No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.
Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.
6. In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ of face-to-face contact in social settings.
A nature B limitation C usefulness D creativity
7. It is implied in the passage that_______
A local news used to be the only source of information
B local news still takes a significant place
C national news is becoming more popular
D international news is the fastest transmitted news
8. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?
A To possess information used to be a privilege
B Public libraries have replaced private libraries
C Communication means more than transmission
D Information influences ways of life and thinking
9. From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.
A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass media
B happy about the drastic changes in the mass media
C pessimistic about the future of the mass media
D concerned about the wrong use of the mass media

逛当地超市的蔬菜水果自选区时,我感到很困惑,从标签上看它们的原产地几乎遍及世界各地。英国这个外省小地方的角落能陈列着来自世界各地的水果,这在几年前简直难以令人置信。但现在,这好像是理所当然的事情。
以前,那些稀罕的和外国进口的水果只有富人才买得起,但现在即使不是每个人都能品尝到,也一定是我们每天购物时所能见识到的。变化这么大,以致我不再对新奇的果品过多地关注,而被普通的东西所吸引了。在那些常见而“廉价”的蔬菜里面某种奇怪而又令人不安的事情正在发生。

Part III Reading Comprehension Section A
Directions: There are 3 passages in this par. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Choose the correct answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effect of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly change. They cannot sleep or eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but also essential for human survival?
51. This passage is mainly about ______.
A) living space and behavior
B) population and living conditions
C) interesting experiments on rats
D) a natural law for human society
52. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?
A) To determine how much living space a rat needs.
B) To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.
C) To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.
D) To find out the relationship between population and living conditions.
53. How would rats behave when their living conditions become too crowded?
A) They eat a lot and become friendly to others.
B) They sleep little and act quite peacefully.
C) They eat little but sleep soundly.
D) They become nervous and tend to be war-like.
54. The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions ______.
A) are directly related with population
B) may cause an increase in violence
C) may lead to high birth rate
D) may bring about pollution problems
Passage Two
Many people hope that the whole world will one day speak a common language. Over the Years, people have made up new languages with this aim. At least six hundred languages have been developed in the search for a language which all human beings would be able to speak. The most famous one, Esperanto ( 世界语) , was the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof, a doctor in Warsaw. He published a book about his new language in 1887.
To encourage people to learn the Language, he made it as simple as possible.
Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world language, but it has been suggested as an auxiliary language. By 1950 it had been taught to one and a half million speakers, and it was spoken in six hundred schools. Today Esperanto is spoken by about eight million people, and more than one hundred newspapers and magazines in the language are published regularly throughout the world. Thousands of books have been written in Esperanto, including those translated from other languages.
Today the need for a new auxiliary language like Esperanto seems less obvious. Throughout this century English has grown more and more important. It has become a second language for many millions of people. The fact that more are learning English shows that the use of English is still growing worldwide. No one would deny the usefulness of world language, but not many people think that Esperanto is likely to play such a role.
55. Over the years, people have made up new languages in the hope that ______.
A) all people will be able to speak a common language
B) people will learn a foreign language better
C) people can understand each other better
D) people will be able to speak several languages
56. Zamenhof made the language as simple as possible because ______.
A) he wanted people to learn it quickly
B) he hoped more and more people would be willing to learn it
C) he wanted everyone to speak it without any difficulty
D) he hoped it would be accepted as an official world language
57. Which of the following is NOT true of English?
A) It is widely taught in schools.
B) It has become a second language for many millions of people.
C) Many books have been written in English.
D) It is less popular than Esperanto.
58. What is the best title of the passage?
A) The language made by one man.
B) A talk about the world language.
C) English as a second language for everyone.
D) Esperanto—a better language than English.
assage Three
After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had news to report: The damage and death toll could have been much worse.
More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25 ,000 victims.
Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a. m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city ’ s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.
Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints for improved quake - resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.
In the past, making structures quake - resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.
The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.
59. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low was that ______.
A) new computers had been installed in the buildings
B) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways
C) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday
D) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways
60. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______.
A) counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the building
B) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy
C) help strengthen the foundation of the building
D) measure the impact of an earthquake’ s vibrations
61. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on ______.
A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital construction
B) the development of flexible building materials
C) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrations
D) early forecasts of earthquakes
62. The main purpose of this passage is mostly to______.
A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.
B) encourage civil engineers to make extensive use of computers
C) outline the history of the development of quake - resistant building materials
D) report new developments in constructing quake - resistant building

1. B. 因为collection (收藏品,收集物) 是可数名词,此处为单数,又不是特指,所以用不定冠词;books是名词复数表示种类,而非特指,所以不用冠词。又如:a fine collection of paintings精美的绘画收藏品。
2. B. word (话、话语) 是可数名词,without saying a word意为“没说一句话”;虽然silence (沉默)是不可数名词,但此处是特指前面提到的那种沉默,所以用the。
3. A. 因为school, college, university, hospital, prison, church, table, bed名词等指其用途时,不用冠词。leave college意为“大学毕业”。又因为表示职业或身份的单数名词前通常要用不定冠词,所以选A。
4. C. price前加定冠词表特指。句意为“如果你买10个以上,他们会从那个价钱中减掉20便士”。
5. B. 因为division后有介词短语between…and…的限制,这是特指的,所以要用the。又因为concern作“所关切的事”解是可数名词,所以前面要用冠词。
6. D. 因为house和cottage都是可数名词,且都不是特指,所以都用不定冠词。句意是“威尔逊一家住在大海附近的一栋A形房子里,那是一座17世纪建的别墅”。
7. A. 从next time可知,对方这次住了旅馆,第一空的hotel就是特指这个旅馆,所以用the;第二空的单数可数名词bed不是特指的,所以用不定冠词。句意是:你下次来这里度假,就不要到这旅馆来住了,我在我的公寓里帮你弄张床。
8. D. 虽然understanding是不可数名词,但作“了解、理解”解时,却常常要加不定冠词(尤其是当其前有形容词修饰时),排除B和C。又因为life作“生活、人生”解,是不可数名词,不是特指,不用冠词。have a better understanding of life指“对生活有更深刻的理解”。
9. B. 虽然通常说the world,但world有定语修饰时,表示“一个…的世界”时,要用不定冠词。题中两个world都有定语修饰,后者是前者的同位语,所以两个都用不定冠词。句意是:这是一个奇妙的世界,一个什么事都有可能发生的世界。
10. C. 因part后面有一定语从句修饰,是特指,用the;又因为“工业革命”是由普通名词构成的专有名词,所以前面也要用the。
11. A. 因为discovery作“被发现的事物”讲是可数名词,前面用不定冠词,又如,make an important discovery scientific discovery (作出重大的科学发现)。man作“人、人类”解,是既没有复数形式,也不能在前面加冠词的,understanding前又受名词所有格man’s修饰,也不能用冠词,所以第二空不用冠词。
12. A。information 是不可数名词,前面不用冠词,因此排除 B 和 D;have a word with是固定短语,意为“和某人谈一下”。句意为“我想请你帮我看一下旅馆的管理材料”。“好的,你可以和饭店经理谈,他会帮你的”。
13. A。此题考查不定冠词和不用冠词的情况。抽象名词knowledge前加不定冠词a使其具体化,a knowledge of English意为“懂英语”;而international trade是泛指,意为“国际贸易”,前面不用冠词。句意为“很多人认为懂英语是当今国际贸易所必需的”。
14. D。此题在特定语境中考查不定冠词的用法。第一句句意为“你看见一支钢笔吗?”是泛指,用不定冠词。第二空“是黑色的吗?”不是二次提及上文的钢笔,也是泛指,故也用不定冠词。
15. C。(be) in use是固定词组,意为“在使用中”;第二空是序数词前要加定冠词,the thirteenth century 指第13世纪。句意为“十三世纪马可波罗访问中国时,中国已用纸币”。
16. B。animals 是名词复数表示泛指,不用冠词;kind是单数可数名词,of…kind“…种类的”。根据句意“多数动物与另一类的动物没有关系,除非它们以其为食”。可指应用a表示泛指。
17. C。句意为“从一万英尺高的飞机里跳出来是一次非常激动人心的经历”。airplane表泛指,以元音开头用an;experience当“经历”讲时是可数名词,因此表示“一次经历”要加不定冠词。
18. B。fire泛指“火灾,失火”,不用冠词;red button 是特指,第二空用 the。句意为“那块牌子上写着:“万一失火,打碎这块玻璃,按那个红色按钮”。
19. B。第一空用the表示特指“今日的新闻”;第二空reports是复数名词表泛指,不加冠词。句意为“在今天的新闻中有关于那个地区的大雪的报道”。

25. —Why did you come by bus?
—My car broke down yesterday evening and I ________ it repaired.
A. didn’t have B. don’t have
C. won’t have D. haven’t had
1. C。用现在完成时表示影响,即指现在已经作出决定。
2. B。用现在完成时表示影响或结果,即现在笔不见了,是由于某人已经把它拿走了的结果。
3. D。用现在进行时表示现在正在进行的动作。
4. A。从下文的语境看,既然现在叫对方重复一遍,说明“没听清对方的最后一点”应发生在过去(即说此话之前)。
5. C。这时用一般过去时表示过去曾经是老师,但现在不是了。
6. B。before 用作副词时不与具体时间连用,泛指“以前”,通常与一般过去时或现在完成时连用。
7. A。由no是对前句的否定可知现在不在部队服役,是以前“服过役”,故用一般过去时。
8. A。have been to…去过某地(已回来),have gone to…到某地去了(没回来);又因为问的是Tom回来之前到去过某地,故用过去完成时态。
9. D。从“我们只谈了几句话”可知,当我们去拜访时,Professor Smith“正要”离开了,D是过去进行时表示过去将来意义。
10. C。上句“我本不该对你那么无礼”是对过去情况的自责,答语“你当时的确很生气”,用一般过去时,did 在 lose 前表示强调。
11. D。问句是对过去情况的猜测,所以答句用一般过去时。I didn’t是I didn’t meet him the other day 的省略。
12. B。因为在时间状语从句中要用一般现在时代替一般将来时。若强调从句动作发生在主句动作之前时,用现在完成时代替将来完成时,本题属后一种情况。
13. B。因为 these years 是包括现在在内的,故用现在完成时。
14. D。由于见朋友发生在过去(即昨天),而很久没有见到朋友自然是昨天的见面之前,即属于过去的过去,故用过去完成时。
15. C。句子的前半句说上午打电话时没有人接电话,而后半句问对方当时在什么地方。显然,句子前后两部分的时间应一致,即用一般过去时。
16. A。从第一句话She ought to stop working 可知“他仍然在学习”,故后面用现在完成进行时态。
17. D。受前一句left的影响,易误选B。题干中的since说明此处应用现在完成时态。从问句中也可看出来,此处强调动作对现在的影响,故要用现在完成时的被动式。
18. B。说话之前“忘了”,故用一般过去时态;第二空应用一般过去时的被动语态形式。
19. C。指将来某时或某段时间正发生的事用将来进行时。
20. D。一般将来时表示将要发生的动作,而将来完成时表示将来某个时间之前已经发生或完成的动作。根据语境可知是强调将来的结果,应用将来完成时。
21. C。意思是:刚才我想下公共汽车时,(我才发现)靠近我坐的那个人一直坐在我的外衣上。表示从过去某一时刻开始一直延续到另一过去时间仍在进行的动作或状态用过去完成进行时。
22. B。该题考查根据语境选用正确时态题。上句说“你为什么没去参加会议”,据此回答“我当时正在等我姑姑从美国打来的长途电话”,说的是“你们开会时”我正在等一个电话。
23. C。指到目前为止还没有人把这件事通知我。相当于在后面省略了so far。
24. B。句意:戏剧在我到达之前就已上演了半小时,即表示“过去的过去”,且短暂性动词不与持续性时间连用,故须将 start→be on 才可与持续性时间连用。
25. D。从昨天坏了一直到今天来时还没有修好,表示从过去某一时刻开始一直延缓到现在的动作或状态要作现在完成时态。

【答案与解析】
1. C。根据题意可知,说话者是将when people do it together和when people don’t do it together这两种情况比较,故选比较级。注意不要选D,因为在此题是要用副词修饰动词,不能用形容词。另外,根据句末的higher too也可知道此题是考查比较级。
2. D。首先,根据连系动词后要接形容词作表语这一特点,可排除A和C。另外,使役动词make后可接动词原形(不带to的不定式)或过去分词作宾语补足语,但不能接现在分词,故可排除选项B。
3. D。take sth seriously的意思是“认真对待某事”“认真考虑某事”。
4. C。副词narrowly在此表示“勉强地”,又如:He narrowly escaped being run over. 他差点儿被车压死。 The proposal to change the rules was narrowly defeated by 201 votes to 196. 建议改变规则的提议以196票对201票的微弱差额被否决了。本题句意:篮球赛的最后比分是93比94。我们以微弱的劣势输掉了比赛。
5. B。因题目把这组新学生与前面一组学生进行比较,故用比较级。
6. B。注意句中的Yes,由于答话者对问话者的“你需要帮助吗?”作了肯定回答,说明答话者独自完成工作有困难,故填more than。
7. C。由于是将“Love me, love my dog”与“Love me, love my book”进行比较,故用比较级。此题的巧妙之处在于句中没有出现than,而是给出两个待比较的proverb。
8. B。句子大意为:由于铁路提速了,所以高速公路和航空业要提高服务质量来竞争客源。因将“高速公路和航空”与“铁路”比较,故用比较级。
9. B。题目中将“放入冰箱中冷冻”与“不放入冰箱中冷冻”作比较,故用比较级。句意为:史密斯家人晚餐时上的甜瓜若能放入冰箱中冷冻一下味道会更好些。
10. B。这四个副词中,通常只有far可用于修饰比较。注:quite有时也可用于修饰比较better,但它只用于表示“身体康复”,不用于其他意义。
11. C。因为是从他所写的所有歌中选出一首来比较,故用最高级(from www.yygrammar.com)。
12. B。因是两者比较,故用比较级,可将答案锁定在B和C之间;再根据句意,排除C。
13. D。此题考查more…than…的用法,其意为“与其说……不如说……”。
14. D。句中的no better than相当于as badly as,其意为“一样不好”。
15. A。that在用作副词,用法相当于so,意为“如此,这么”。
16. C。在as…as…结构中,表示倍数的词或程度副词都放在第一个as之前。
17. A。语序:不定代词 指示代词 序数词 基数词。
18. A。此题考查can’t be too adj,其意为“无论……也不为过”。
19. A。因为likely是形容词,意为“可能的”,在句中作表语。easily和nearly是副词;虽然lonely(寂寞的)是形容词,但其意义与句意不通。
20. C。因为只有regularly(经常地)才与now and then(偶尔)相对。
21. C。merely在此表示“只是”,其他选项意义不通。
22. A。因为It couldn’t be any worse. 意为“(他的工作做得)非常差”,与后文内容相符。
23. A。因为too…to do sth. (太…以至于不能做…) 是固定搭配。
24. A。由答语No, it’s worse.可知问句中用better。
25. B。后面省略了than he did,意为“我今年还没看到比他跑得更好成绩的人”。

参考答案:
1. A. 因为gave后面已经有表示物的直接宾语了,排除代词A、C、和D。however意为“无论如何”;whenever意为“每当…”,根据句意,只有选C,意义才通。
2. A. 因为前面已经连词though了,所以不再需要连词了。Hard-working though he was=Although he was hard-working。
3. B. 因为as引导让步状语从句,要求将从句的表语或状语等放到句首。而although, while表示让步时,都用正常语序;另外,though引导的让步状语从句,其表语或状语等可提前也可不提前。
4. C. 因为immediately, instantly, directly和the moment, the instant, the minute等都可以用作连词,引导时间状语从句,相当于as soon as。
5. C. 因为表示“正要做某事时,突然又发生另一件事”的句型是:was /were just about to do sth. when…did…或was /were just on the point of doing sth. when…did…
6. C. 因为not…until…“直到…才…”,再接before语意上不通,要用after。
7. C. 因为no matter后一定要接疑问词或whether。
8. C. 引导状语从句时no matter how=however,其后接形容词或副词,只有C正确。
9. C. unless“除非、如果不”。句意是:大多数动物与其它不同种类的动物都没有什么联系,除非是把它们猎为食物。
10. A. 句意是:虽然他认为他在帮我们做工,但事实上他是在挡事。
11. B. 表示主、从句的谓语动词同时变化的“随着…”只能用as。
12. B. 因为keep the portrait (把照片放在…)后面一定是指所放的“地方”了,所以用where (在…的地方) 引导一个地点状语从句。
13. C. 因为非谓语动词的逻辑主语就是句子的主语,mistakes不能check,排除A和D;若用B,则前后是两个句子,又无连词,排除B。
14. A. 只有先A,前后意义才通:even if即使、纵然;so that为了、以便;as if. 好象;ever since从(那时)到现在。
15. D. 因为the moment可作连词,与as soon as相当(from www.yygrammar.com)。
16. D. until (直到…)与肯定句连用,引出的时间是主句谓语动词结束的时间。even though即使;in case以防万一;whenever每当、无论何时。
17. C. 因为now that =since“既然”。
18. A. 因为with pride (骄傲地) 是固定短语;where (在…的地方) 引导一个地点状语从句,
19. D. 由where引导一个地点状语从句,表示坐 (sat) 的地方;后面是带有连词的现在分词作时间状语,when waking=when he woke。
20. C. 因为It will be 时间段 before…是固定句式,意为“过…之后才…”。句意是:要过五年之后,我们才会再次见面。
21. B. 因为whatever = no matter what引导一个让步状语从句,并作difficulty的定语。句意是:你无论遇到什么困难,也决不要灰心丧气。
22. C. 句意是:如果不允许我们喝啤酒,我们就不能喝。
23. C. 因为无先行词,不是定语从句,而是由where引导的一个地点状语从句。句意是:在它们过去居住的地方,你仍然可以找到鸟的骨头。
24. B. 题中when=since既然。句意是:既然他们把所有的空闲时间都用来看电视了,他们还能学到什么呢?
25. A. 因为while可以表示让步,与although相当,意为“虽然”。
26. C. 因为while有“只要”之意,与as long as相当。又如:While there is life, there is hope. 只要有生命,就会有希望。/留得青山在,不怕没柴烧。
