Directions:There are three passages in this part. Passage 1 and Passage 2 are followed by five questions each. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. For Passage 3, there are two choices after each question marked A (True) and B (False). Choose the ONE that you think is the best answer.
Passage 1
Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completes a university degree or diploma course could find a good career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.
Job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.
The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.
Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors.
When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.
There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job is to be one of them.
11 In Para.1, the sentence \"... those days are gone, even in Hong Kong ...\" suggest
that____________. 正确答案 解析
A. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere
B. nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good career
C. it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries
D. Hong Kong is no longer the good place for finding jobs
正确答案：A
解析：句意理解题。见文章第一段“Not so long ago almost any student ... career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even ... in the search for jobs.”，理解了这段话的意思，就不难看出选项A 是正确答案。
12 The word \"relative\" in Para. 2 could best be replaced by \"____________\". 正确答案 解析
A. family
B. comparative
C. considerable
D. slight
正确答案：B
解析：句中的名词短语“the relative importance to themselves of such matters as ...”意为“对他们
来说一些比较重要的事情，例如……”，因此选项B是正确答案。considerable意为 “相当大的，值得考虑的”。
13 The advice given in the first sentence of Para.3 is to____________. 正确答案 解析
A. find out what jobs are available and the opportunities for future promotion
B. examine the careers available and how these will be affected in the future
C. look at the information on, and probable future location of, various careers
D. study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available
正确答案：B
解析：细节题。文章第三段第一句话“The second stage is ... to develop in the future.”意为“第二步是研究可行的就业机会并对就业情况未来可能如何发展加以思考”，所以选项B是正确答案。
14 The word \"prospective\" in Para. 5 is closest in meaning to \"____________\". 正确答案 解析
A. generous
B. reasonable
C. future
D. ambitious
正确答案：C
解析：词汇题。the prospective employer 意为“未来的雇主”，因此选项C是正确答案。
15 In Para.5, the writer seems to suggest that____________. 正确答案 解析
A. interviewees should ask a question if they can't think of an answer
B. pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answer
C. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understand
D. it is not a good idea for interviewees to be completely honest in their answers
正确答案：C
解析：细节题目。文章第五段讲了面试中的一些注意事项，其中第三和第四句话“Interviewees should try to give positive ... they are unsure about. This is much better...and giving an unsuitable answer.”告诉被面视者要诚实而不是不懂装懂，因此选项C是正确答案。
Passage 2
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis; that they talk too much about certain problems — and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationship.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents; this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog(处于劣势者): you can't win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents' control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can impress others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
16 This passage is primarily meant for____________. 正确答案 解析
A. parents

A. want to irritate their parents
B. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste
C. have no other way to enjoy themselves better
D. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own
正确答案：D
解析：文章第三段中第四句话“So they create a culture and society of their own.”说得正是他们热衷于与众不同的服装和发式的动机。需要注意的是，从第三段最后一句话可以看出选项B不是正确答案，因为这不是主要动机，但很容易被误解为是正确答案。
19 Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they________. 正确答案 解析
A. have a desire to be independent
B. feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults
C. are not likely to win over the adults
D. have already been accepted into the adult world
正确答案：A

20 To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be____________. 正确答案 解析
A. obedient
B. independent
C. responsible
D. cooperative
正确答案：D
解析：文章最后一段第一句话“If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan.”是本段的主旨，因此选项D是正确答案。
Passage 3
The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte.
21 This passage is mainly about France. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：B
解析：题干的意思是：这篇文章主要讲述法国的有关情况。文章的第一句话提到法国大革命爆发于1789年，而其后则是具体讲述法国大革命爆发的原因、过程及结果。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲的是法国大革命，而不是法国的有关情况，因此正确答案为选项B。
22 The national economy was developing rapidly in 1789. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：B
解析：题干的意思是：在1789年，国家经济得以快速发展。从文章的前三句话可以得知，法国大革命爆发于这一年，当时的法国正在经历一场危机，而且政府运行得并不好，人民生活在痛苦之中，从而导致了大革命的爆发。由此可知，当时的国家经济并没有得到快速发展，因此正确答案为选项B。
23 The political prisoners were kept in Bastille. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：A
解析：题干的意思是：政治犯被关押在巴士底狱（Bastille）。 根据文章中“On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept.”这句话可知，当时的政治犯是被关押在巴士底狱（Bastille），因此正确答案为选项A。
24 The underlined word “abolished” means “ended”. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：A
解析：题干的意思是：画线单词“abolished”的词义是“终止”。从文章中找到画线单词所在的句子，其前一句话是说路易十六被抓起来并关押在监狱，后一句话说他在同一年被处死，而画线单词所在的句子则是说，1792年9月君主制被废除，因此可以推断出“abolished”一词的意思应该是“废除，终止”。由此可知，正确答案为选项A。
25 The king tried to control the national parliament after the Revolution. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：B
解析：题干的意思是：国王试图在大革命后控制国家议会。文章的第二、三、四句话“At the time France
was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes.”讲到，当时的法国正处在一片混乱中，政府腐败，人民生活凄惨，路易十六企图控制议会并增加赋税，从而导致了大革命的爆发。因此，国王试图控制国家议会是在大革命之前，而不是在大革命之后，故正确答案为选项B。

A. have
B. are
C. has
D. were
正确答案：C
解析：此题的意思是：那个飞行员与两个乘客奇迹般地逃脱了死亡。在as well as结构中，谓语动词必须与as well as前面的名词的数保持一致。
29 There____________a book and some magazines on the desk. 正确答案 解析
A. are
B. is
C. have
D. has
正确答案：B
解析：此题的意思是：桌上有一本书和几本杂志。there be句型中的there不是真正的主语，真正的主语是后面的名词，所以be要随着后面的名词变化。当主语包含两个以上的名词时， be要与最接近的名词的数保持一致。
30 Fever is a ____________of many illnesses. 正确答案 解析
A. sick
B. sickness
C. symptom
D. disease
正确答案：C
解析：此题的意思是：发烧是许多疾病的症状。因为发烧只是疾病的一种症状，所以符合题意的只有

A. neglected
B. looked down
C. looked around

34 Frank plays ____________Alex. 正确答案 解析
A. a lot more better than
B. a lot better than
C. much more better than
D. much more well than
正确答案：B
解析：此题的意思是：Frank 打球打得比Alex好多了。 better已经是比较级，前面不能再用more，但可以用a lot 来修饰比较级，以加强语气。
35 The more he tried to help her,____________she seemed to appreciate it. 正确答案 解析
A. less
B. the less
C. the least
D. the lesser
正确答案：B
解析： 此题的意思是：他帮助她越多，她看起来表示的感激越少。这是一个“the+比较级 ...，the+比较级 ...”句型，因此选项B是正确答案。
36 The rest of the magazines____________on sale today. 正确答案 解析
A. is
B. have
C. are
D. has
正确答案：C
解析：此题的意思是：剩下的杂志今天促销。本句的主语“the rest of the magazines”，表示剩下的杂志肯定不止一本，所以谓语动词要用复数。

B. rather than

正确答案：A
解析：此题的意思是：除了职业之外，你还有其他什么特殊的爱好吗？这里要填入一个表示“除了……之外”意思的词组，所以只有other than符合题意。

A. Opportunities

42 正确答案 解析
A. amount
B. quantity

A. making
B. consisting
C. including

正确答案：C

45 正确答案 解析
A. ago
B. before
C. after
D. ever
正确答案：A
解析：此题考查的是副词的用法。在具体的时间名词后，可用ago。 before和after作副词，但此处用after意思不通。before和ago的区别在于：ago的时间参照点是现在，即“before now”； before的参照点不是现在，即“before then”，而且before在具体的时间名词后作副词时，一般用于完成时。例如：Last summer, I left the firm that I had joined eighteen years before. 这句话的意思是：五十年前，政府开始给大学拨款。1970年以前，所有大学都由政府拨款提供资金。
46 正确答案 解析

47 正确答案 解析
A. what
B. which
C. where
D. how
正确答案：C
解析： 这题考查的是定语从句。the place是先行词，从句he lives缺状语，故用where引导定语从句修饰the place。
48 正确答案 解析
A. responsibility
B. advice
C. duty
D. pleasure
正确答案：A
解析：此题考查的是词语搭配。“take responsibility for”意为“对……负责”，而“take the advice of”意为“采纳……的建议”。这句话的意思是： 教育部负责学校的全部费用，但并不进行直接控制。
49 正确答案 解析
A. at
B. to
C. on
D. form
正确答案：C
解析：此题考查的是词组搭配。“have influence on ...”意为“对……产生影响”，例如：Listening to the music has a calming influence on her. 听音乐可以使她的心情平静。这句话的意思是：教育部通过拨款，对教育的新发展进行导向，但是也听取主要由大学教师组成的大学拨款委员会的建议。

Part II. Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are three passages in this part. Passage 1 and Passage 2 are followed by five questions each. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. For Passage 3, there are two choices after each question marked A (True) and B (False). Choose the ONE that you think is the best answer.
Passage 1
To understand how Americans think about things,it is necessary to understand \"the point\". Americans mention it often：\"Let's get right to the point\
The \"point\" is the idea or piece of information that Americans suppose is,or should be,at the center of people's thinking,writing,and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to \"make their points clearhat they are supposed to write clearly the idea or piece of information they wish to express.
People from many other cultures have different ideas about \"the point\". Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind,rather than stating \"the point\" clearly. Japanese traditionally speak indirectly,leaving the listener to figure out what the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend,\"I don't think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit\Japanese might say,\"Maybe this other coat would look even better than the one you have on.\" Americans value a person who \"gets right to the point\". Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude.
The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness and ambiguity（模糊）. The precision（精确）and directness Americans associate with \"the point\" cannot be achieved,at least not with any grace,in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans.
11 By “the point”,Americans mean____________. 正确答案 解析
A. the idea or information in their mind
B. the most important idea or information
C. what they think,write and speak
D. what they wish to express
正确答案：B
解析：此题考查词义的理解。根据文章第二段第一句，即“要点是美国人认为是或者应该是人们思考、写作和说话的中心”，可知正确答案为B。
12 Compared with people from many other cultures,Americans are____________. 正确答案 解析
A. direct and honest
B. clear and talkative
C. impolite and rude
D. traditional and silent
正确答案：A
解析：通读全文，可知作者在对美国人和其他国家的人的说话方式进行比较。美国人喜欢开门见山，直奔主题，中国人和日本人则比较含糊其辞，所以正确答案为A。
13 A typical American seems to be____________to a typical Japanese. 正确答案 解析
A. sensitive and rude
B. insensitive but not rude
C. sensitive instead of rude
D. insensitive and even rude
正确答案：D
解析：此题可参考文章第三段最后两句话，其含义为“美国人尊重‘直奔主题’的人，但同样的人在日本人看来却很可能显得感觉迟钝，甚至粗鲁”，所以正确答案为D。
14 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? 正确答案 解析
A. You are expected to state your idea clearly when speaking to an American.
B. Telling stories to express their ideas is a traditional way of Africans.
C. Japanese often imply their disapproval with polite words.
D. Chinese and Japanese languages are hard to understand because they are not clear.
正确答案：D
解析：此题需要选择一个错误的说法。文章告诉我们美国人喜欢直奔主题，所以选项A正确。文章第三段第二句说“非洲人的传统是通过讲故事来表达他们头脑里的思想”，故选项B正确。第三段后半部分比较了美国人和日本人的表达方式，后者喜欢委婉礼貌地表达自己的看法，故选项C也正确。文章最后一段说汉语和日语的特点是模糊，但并没有说很难理解，可知选项D与文章内容不符，所以正确答案为D。
15 A conclusion can be made that____________. 正确答案 解析
A. Americans and Africans cannot communicate satisfactorily
B. Africans and Japanese cannot communicate satisfactorily
C. Misunderstanding may arise when Americans communicate with Chinese
D. Chinese and Japanese will certainly get on well with each other
正确答案：C
解析：此题为推论题。选项A意为“美国人和非洲人不能进行满意的交流”；选项B意为“非洲人和日本人不能进行满意的交流”；选项D意为“中国人和日本肯定好相处”，这三个选项的共同问题是文中并没有充分的证据来支持它们。选项C意为“美国人和中国人交流时可能会出现误解”，这是根据文章中谈到的两种文化的差异得出的结论，所以正确答案为C。
Passage 2
Your success in your studies will also depend upon your motivation（动机）. This need or desire to achieve a certain goal can make the difference between success and failure. Motivation can come from two sources:from inside of you or from outside of you. In the first case,motivation comes from your hopes and expectations,from your desire to do something or to be someone. Study purposes that result from personal inner desires are individual,and various. If you have not already done so,you should think carefully about what you hope to gain from your studies,and why. You should set a goal and direct all your study efforts toward reaching it. A goal of this kind is important because it will determine the direction and degree of your motivation for study.
Not everyone is highly motivated from within and no one is continuously motivated from within. Fortunately there is another source of motivation：from outside. In education the most obvious kind of
outside motivation is grades. For many students,course grades are an immediate,short-range motivation for study. This is one of the reasons for examinations and grades,but they must not become a goal in themselves. Grades help to motivate you from day to day,but they are only small,artificial steps to your ultimate goal. It would be wrong to set grades as your only ambition.
A textbook like this cannot provide you with motivation；that must come from yourself. But as an encouragement,it is useful to know that good study habits depend upon good motivation. And good study habits are important because they help you get more done in less time. It is not a matter of how much you study；more important is how well you study.
16 Inside motivation comes from____________. 正确答案 解析
A. your need and desire
B. your hopes and expectations
C. your desire to do something or to be someone
D. both B and C
正确答案：D
解析：此题问的是内部动机的来源，这可从文章第一段第四句得出答案，所以正确答案为D。
17 Study purposes____________. 正确答案 解析
A. are different from person to person
B. are personal inner desires
C. share some common points
D. should be carefully made
正确答案：A
解析：根据文章第一段第五句话，即“因个人内心渴望而产生的学习目的是有个人特点的、多种多样的”，可知正确答案为A。
18 If you haven't set a goal in your studies,____________. 正确答案 解析
A. you will most probably become a failure
B. you will never be a good student
C. you may lose direction and lack motivation
D. you won't have good study habits
正确答案：C
解析：根据文章第一段最后一句话，即“树立这种目标很重要，因为它会决定学习的方向和动机的强弱程度”，可知如果你不树立学习目标，就有可能迷失方向和缺乏动机，所以正确答案为C。
19 According to the passage,why are examinations and grades necessary in education? 正确答案 解析
A. Because they can make the difference between success and failure.
B. Because they can motivate many students to study harder.
C. Because they can check what you have gained from your studies.
D. Because they are small,artificial steps to an ultimate goal.
正确答案：B
解析：此题问的是教育中为什么需要考试和分数。文章第二段告诉我们，不是所有的人都有强烈的内部动机，也没有人能够始终保持内部动机，但幸好还有外部动机。对许多学生来说，考试分数是一个直接的、短期的学习动机，学生会为了得高分而努力学习，所以正确答案为B。
20 If you want to be an efficient learner,you must____________. 正确答案 解析
A. have clear study purposes
B. be always motivated from both inside and outside
C. set grades as your ambition
D. have good study habits
正确答案：D
解析：根据文章最后一段第三句话，即“好的学习习惯很重要，因为它们能帮助你在较少的时间里学会更多的东西”，可知正确答案为D。
Passage 3
By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others — they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us — an artifact of the past. Some maintain that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.
Cultural icons（偶像）are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity （明星）, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death — such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.
21 The passage mainly deals with heroes and icons. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：A
解析：题干的意思是：这篇文章主要是讲述的是英雄和偶像。从全文的内容来看，这篇文章主要讲述了英雄和偶像之间的关系，因此正确答案为选项A。
22 Heroes and heroines are usually courageous and self-sacrificing. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：A
解析：题干的意思是：英雄通常是勇敢且具有献身精神的。有文章第一段第一句话“By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others — they are people against whom we measure others.”中关于英雄的定义可知，英雄们一般都有与众不同的勇气，而且具有献身精神，是人们学习的典范，因此正确答案为选项A。
23 Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：B
解析：题干的意思是：英雄只可能在战争年代出现。由文章第一段中“Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us — an artifact of the past. Some maintain that because the Cold War is over and
because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one.”这两句话可知，“英雄只可能在战争年代出现”只是一部分人的观点，而文章暗含的意思是说，英雄不只是在战争年代才会出现，因此正确答案为选项B。
24 Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love when she became a princess. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：B
解析：题干的意思是：美丽年轻的戴安娜·斯宾塞是在她成为王妃时才找到真爱。由文章中“For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love.”这句话可知，戴安娜·斯宾塞是在死的时候才找到真爱，而不是在她嫁给王子成为王妃的时候，因此正确答案为选项B。
25 A tragic or early death is more likely to set an icon’s status. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：A
Part III. Vocabulary and Structure
Section A
Directions: In this part, there are 15 incomplete sentences. For each sentence, there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.
26 It was ________ fun to play games on the grassland that more and more children gathered. 正确答案 解析
A. such a great
B. so great a
C. such great
D. so great
正确答案：C
解析：句中被修饰的词是不可数名词fun，所以正确答案只能是C。such a great和 so great a后面都接单数可数名词，而so great后不能接名词。
27 People all over the world made____________donations for the disaster area after the earthquake happened in Wenchuan,Sichuan Province. 正确答案 解析
A. modest
B. minimum
C. generous
D. genuine
正确答案：C
解析：modest意为“谦虚的，适量的”， minimum 意为“最小的，最低的”，generous意为“慷慨的，大方的”， genuine意为“真实的，真正的”。根据句意，应选generous。全句意为：“四川汶川地震发生以后，世界各地的人们纷纷为灾区慷慨解囊。”
28 The family got up early in the morning ____________they should miss the train. 正确答案 解析
A. if only
B. in case of
C. so that
D. lest
正确答案：D
解析：if only 意为“如果……该多好”，用来表达一种强烈的而往往无法实现的愿望，例如：If only I had a new computer! in case of意为“假设，万一”，后面接名词，用来指在特定场合尤其是根据官方通知应该做的事情，例如：In case of emergency, break the window glass. so that意为“以便”，表示目的。而lest意为“以免，免得”。由此可知，正确答案应为C。全句意为：“全家人起得很早，以免误了火车。”
29 Weather____________,we are going to the Great Wall this weekend. 正确答案 解析
A. permitted
B. permitting
C. permits
D. permission
正确答案：B
解析：此题考查独立主格结构。独立主格结构是由名词或代词作为逻辑主语，加上分词、形容词、副词、动词不定式或介词短语作为逻辑谓语构成。此题中独立主格结构的名词weather与动词permit呈逻辑上的主谓关系，且动词应该用现在分词形式，故正确答案为B。全句意为：“如果天气允许，这个周末我们要去长城。”
30 The old villages in this poor area have changed relatively little ____________ a grocery or two in recent decades. 正确答案 解析
A. except for
B. besides
C. except
D. in addition to
正确答案：A
解析：4个选项的含义都为“除……之外”。besides和 in addition to 都指“除……外, 另外还有”，着重
于“另外还有”，如：I have five other books besides this. except for 和except的含义相同，指“从整体中减去一部分”，即“所说的道理或事实不能适用于那部分”，着重于“排除在外”，但except的宾语和前面主句中的名词或代词是平行的同一性质的词，若不是同一性质的词，则用except for。因此，正确答案应为A。全句意为：“近几十年来，除了增加了一两家杂货店外，这个贫困地区的老村庄变化相对很小。”
31 The problem remains____________the rescue teams could arrive in time. 正确答案 解析
A. if
B. whether
C. when

32 With so many strange eyes ____________on him,Henry was too nervous to speak fluently. 正确答案 解析
A. fixing
B. fixed
C. to fix
D. being fixed
正确答案：B
解析：此句考查独立主格结构。独立主格结构的名词eyes与动词fix呈逻辑上的动宾关系，且动词应该用过去分词形式，所以正确答案为B。全句意为：“这么多双陌生的眼睛盯着亨利，他紧张得语无伦次。”
33 ____________fashion varies from country to country may reflect the cultural differences in a sense. 正确答案 解析
A. That
B. What
C. Whether
D. Which

A. what was in their stockings

D. what was their stockings in
正确答案：A

36 If his grandparents were____________,Joseph would have a happier childhood. 正确答案 解析
A. alive
B. live
C. living
D. lived

37 The factory,____________all its machines,destroyed in the disaster. 正确答案 解析
A. included ... were
B. including ... were
C. included ... was

38 The headmaster owes ____________ to his wife that he has been able to put all his heart into his
work. 正确答案 解析
A. that

39 A book is to the mind____________food is to the body. 正确答案 解析
A. as
B. like
C. what
D. whcih
正确答案：C

正确答案：A
解析：根据句意，肯定是要求他们千方百计降低而非增加生产成本，所以正确答案为A。increase意为“（使体积、数量、强度、程度、力量、权威、名声、财富等）增大或增长”，例如increase the workers’ wages, increase in number/power等。heighten意为“增高，增加，加深”，例如As she waited, her fears heightened. 她在等待时，越发感到恐惧。lift意为“升高，提高，举起，空运”，有时强调花费的努力，例如a box too heavy to lift。

How I Manage My Money
I work in a big company as a technical engineer, with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan. That's not a
large income, compared with other salary earners in the big city. But I do better than make ends meet even when the cost of living is increasing.
On the average month, I spend 100 to 150 yuan buying new clothes, 100 yuan paying rent, 100 yuan on mobile phone, 100 to 200 yuan going out on weekends, and 600 to 800 yuan on food. Of course, on an average year, I spend at least 1000 yuan buying birthday gifts for my parents. Besides, I also spend some money dining out with my friends.
Therefore, I usually save at least 60% my net income for emergencies and future needs.

For Passage 3, there are two choices after each question marked A (True) and B (False). Choose the ONE that you think is the best answer.
Passage 1
Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are that you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.
Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may say that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in
tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses — in this case our eyes — tell us.
Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.
11 What does the passage mainly tell us? 正确答案 解析
A. Perceiving has nothing to do with seeing.
B. Perceiving differs from seeing.
C. Seeing is closely connected to perceiving.
D. Seeing has much to do with perceiving.
正确答案：B
解析：此题问的是文章的主题思想。文章主要讲人的感知与所见的差别，即不同的人看到同样事物会有不同的感知，所以正确答案为B。
12 The phrase \"with four children in tow\" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to \"____________\". 正确答案 解析
A. with four children following closely behind her
B. with four children tied to each other with a rope
C. with four children dragging a rope held by her
D. with four children dragged in a small cart
正确答案：A
解析：此题考查词义的理解。in tow的含义是“拖着，在一起”，该短语所在的句子意为“第三个人可能会说他看到一个妇女带着四个孩子在过街”，所以正确答案为A。
13 According to the passage, perceiving is an action ____________. 正确答案 解析
A. that tells us information through our eyes
B. that gives us senses in the mind
C. that explains what our senses tell us
D. that makes our mind different
正确答案：C
解析：此题可根据文章第二段最后一句话得出答案，该句的含义为“感知是大脑对官能——这种情况下是我们的眼睛——所告诉我们的内容的解释”，所以正确答案为C。
14 The psychologists are trying to draw their conclusion____________. 正确答案 解析
A. by asking different people to tell how they perceive the same scene
B. by using a scientific approach in setting up their experiments
C. by determining how a person experiences the world around him
D. by measuring and charting the results of many experiments
正确答案：D
解析：此题问心理学家得出结论的方式是什么。参考文章最后一句话，即“通过对多次实验的测量和制图，心理学家们试图发现是什么原因使得不同的人对同样的情景感知到完全不同的事物”，可知正确答案为D。
15 Which of the following statements is NOT true? 正确答案 解析
A. Different people may perceive the same scene in a different way.
B. That a policeman gives a motorist a ticket means the motorist is fined.
C. No people share the same perception when they are asked to see the same scene.
D. The psychologists can control all of the factors in their experiments.
正确答案：C
解析：此题要求根据文章内容排除一个不正确的说法。选项A与文章的主旨相符；选项B的含义为“警察给开车人一张传票说明开车人被罚款了”；选项D意为“心理学家可以控制实验中的所有因数”，这与文章最后一段的第二句话相符；选项C无法从文中找到相符的信息。所以，正确答案为C。
Passage 2
The average family spends about one-sixth of its income on food. Because food is expensive, it is important to spend money wisely when you shop. Here are some hints to help you shop better.
Buy only the food that you need. There are several ways to avoid buying extra food. First, make a shopping list before you go to the store. Then when you are at the store, follow your list carefully. Furthermore, do not go shopping if you are hungry. When you are hungry, food looks very delicious and you want to buy more than you need. Finally, go shopping alone if you can. If you shop with young children, they often ask you to buy unnecessary food like candy.
When you have a selection, choose the least expensive brand of a product. There are three points to remember when you buy a can of tomatoes, for example. First, look at the advertisements in the newspaper to see if your supermarket is having a special on canned tomatoes. In addition, when you are in the store you should check the price per pound of tomatoes. Sometimes you save money if you buy the larger size can; sometimes, however, you do not. Remember that a grade A product or a more expensive product is not necessarily more healthful than a grade B or less expensive product. Grade A tomatoes may look better, but all canned tomatoes have the same nutrients.
Shoppers seem to have special difficulties when they buy fresh fruits and vegetables. There are several things to consider when buying fresh foods. Because fresh foods spoil if not used, you have to buy the correct amount for the number of people you are serving. Remember that a pound of peas in their pod is only two to three servings, but a pound of string beans is enough for six servings. In addition, plan to use fresh foods that are in season because fresh foods are generally less expensive when they are in season. Finally, choose fruits and vegetables that have a bright, fresh color. A good color is often a sign that the food has a lot of vitamins. Careful shoppers try to get as many nutrients as they can for each dollar.
16 The passage mainly tells us____________. 正确答案 解析
A. how to be a good housekeeper
B. how to get more nutrients with less money
C. how the average family should spend its money
D. how to spend money wisely on food
正确答案：D
解析：此题考查文章的主题思想。文章旨在告诉读者如何在食品方面合理消费，所以正确答案为D。
17 The disadvantage of going shopping when one is hungry is that____________. 正确答案 解析
A. one will have a better appetite
B. one will like delicious food more
C. one will buy more food than one can eat
D. one will buy unnecessary food like candy
正确答案：C
解析：此题问的是饥饿时购物的弊端是什么。根据文章第二段倒数第三句话，可知正确答案为C。
18 If you are not sure which to choose because there are different brands of the same food, remember____________. 正确答案 解析
A. to look for a discount on canned tomatoes
B. to check the price per pound of tomatoes
C. to buy the larger size to save money
D. that the more expensive does not necessarily do more good to health
正确答案：D
解析：根据文章第三段，面临不同商标的同样产品难以选择时，有三点应该记住，其中第三点是“A级产品或价格更高的产品并不一定比B级产品或价格低的产品对身体更为有利”，由此可知正确答案为D。
19 When one buys fresh fruits and vegetables, all the following should be avoided EXCEPT____________. 正确答案 解析
A. paying more attention to nutrition than to price
B. buying a larger amount of fruits and vegetables than necessary
C. preferring fresh fruits and vegetables that are out of season
D. choosing fruits and vegetables that do not look bright
正确答案：A
解析：此题问的是购买水果和蔬菜时哪一项无需避免。文章最后一段告诉我们购买新鲜食品时要注意几点，如适量、当季和颜色鲜亮等，选项B、C、D刚好与上述三点相反，所以正确答案为A。
20 According to the author, vegetables and fruits that are in season____________. 正确答案 解析
A. are easy to spoil
B. are cheap and easily available
C. have a bright, fresh color
D. have enough vitamins and nutrients
正确答案：B
解析：此题问的是当季的蔬菜和水果怎样。根据文章最后一段倒数第四句话，并结合常识，可知正确答案为B。
Passage 3
Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is the choice — from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle — is all part of fun.
Hostels
Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable — almost like bargain hotels.
Youth Hotels
Founded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside”, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.
B&Bs
The B&B (bed and breakfast) is a Great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.
In country areas your B&B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: usually run from around ￡12 to ￡20 per person. City B&Bs charge about ￡25 to ￡30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.
Pubs & Inns
As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B&B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.
Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.
21 In this passage the author mainly gives us some information about British life. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：B
解析：题干的意思是：本文作者主要向我们讲述了有关英国生活的信息。从全文的内容来看，整篇文章详细介绍了英国的住宿设施，目的是告诉读者在英国如何选择住的地方，而不是讲述英国人的生活，因此正确答案为选项B。
22 Youth Hotels are mainly built for young visitors. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：A
解析：题干的意思是：青年寄宿旅店（Youth Hotels）主要是为年轻的旅行者所修建的。根据文章第三段中的“... help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside ...”可知，青年寄宿旅店尤其是为资金有限年轻人修建的，因此正确答案为选项A。
23 If you travel alone and want to know better about family life in Britain, you’d better stay in
B&Bs. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：A
解析：题干的意思是：如果你独自去旅行，并且想更好地了解英国的家庭生活，你最好住在家庭旅馆。文章中讲到家庭旅馆时谈到“In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family.”，即在英国，只有当你住在别人的家中，才能真正地感觉到自己是这个家庭的一部分，当然也就能够更好地了解英国的家庭生活，因此正确答案为选项A。
24 If you are interested in travelling with your friends but only with limited means, pubs & inns is the better place for you to stay. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：B
解析：题干的意思是：如果你想与朋友一起去旅行，但资金又有限，酒吧和酒馆（pubs & inns）是最好的住宿地点。文章只有在讲到青年寄宿旅店（Youth Hotels）时提及它比较适合资金有限的人旅行时住宿，而在讲到酒吧和酒馆（pubs & inns）时并没有提及它适合想与朋友一起去旅行而资金有限的人住宿，因此正确答案为选项B。
25 All pubs and inns offer visitors bed and breakfast____________. 正确答案 解析
A. T
B. F
正确答案：B
Part III. Vocabulary and Structure
Section A
Directions: In this part, there are 15 incomplete sentences. For each sentence, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.
26 Submarines hold missiles capable of destruction____________ used in World War Ⅱ. 正确答案 解析
A. greater many times than those
B. many times greater than those
C. greater than that many times
D. that many times greater than
正确答案：B
解析：此题考查倍数的正确表达方式。表示“……比……大/强/长……两/三/许多倍”时，用“... twice/three times/many times bigger/stronger/longer ... than ...”，所以正确答案只能是B。全句意为：“潜水艇上装有导弹，其毁灭力比第二次世界大战期间使用的导弹大很多倍。”
27 The murderer was brought in, with his hands ____________ behind his back. 正确答案 解析
A. to be tied
B. being tied
C. tied
D. having been tied
正确答案：C
解析：此题考查独立主格结构。独立主格结构是由名词或代词作为逻辑主语，加上分词、形容词、副词、动词不定式或介词短语作为逻辑谓语构成。此题中独立主格结构添加了介词with表示伴随的状况，而且其中的名词hands与动词tie呈逻辑上的动宾关系，所以动词应该用过去分词形式，故正确答案为C。全句意为：“杀人犯被带了进来，双手绑在背后。”
28 The girl desires that she____________an opportunity to receive higher education. 正确答案 解析
A. should give
B. given
C. be giving
D. be given
正确答案：D
解析：本题考查虚拟语气在宾语从句中的应用。如果主句谓语动词表示命令、建议、要求等含义，如order, suggest, propose, require, demand, request, desire, insist, command, insist等，后面的宾语从句应该使用虚拟语气“(should) do”。受主句谓语动词desire的影响，同时从句中的主语she与谓语动词give是被动关系，所以正确答案应为(should) be given。全句意为：“女孩渴望有人给她机会接受高等教育。”
29 There is such a lot of noise on the work site every day that the residents nearby find it hard to____________. 正确答案 解析
A. put out
B. put off
C. put up with
D. put up
正确答案：C
解析：put out表示“伸出，生产”等含义， put off 意为“推迟，拖延”，put up with 指“忍受，容忍”，put up指“举起，抬起”，所以正确答案为C。全句意为：“工地上每天都有很大的噪声，附近的居民觉得难以忍受。”
30 The first place ____________we went to visit was their assembly-line workshop. 正确答案 解析
A. what
B. which
C. that
D. where
正确答案：C
解析：此题考查定语从句。当先行词是序数词或者其前面有一个序数词时，定语从句只能用that引导，又如：“He is the last person that I want to see.”，所以正确答案为C。全句意为：“我们去参观的第一个地方是他们的装配线车间。”
31 The villagers, ____________homes had been damaged by the flood, were given shelter and food by the local government. 正确答案 解析
A. all their
B. whose
C. whom
D. all of them
正确答案：B
解析：此题考查非限制性定语从句。先行词是villagers，指人，定语从句中需要一个定语来修饰homes，所以正确答案为B。全句意为：“村民的房屋都被洪水冲毁了，当地政府为他们提供住处和食物。”
32 Sorry, I don't ____________your opinion. 正确答案 解析
A. agree
B. share
C. receive
D. accept
正确答案：B
解析：本句的含义为：“对不起，我不同意你的观点。” agree表示“同意”时的用法有：agree to do sth., agree on sth., agree with sb., agree that+从句，所以选项A不正确。receive 和accept分别表示客观接受和主观接受，share表示“共享，共有”，所以正确答案为B。
33 Had she tried harder in the past few months, Cherry____________the entrance exam to
college. 正确答案 解析
A. would have passed
B. would be able to pass
C. should pass
D. should be able to pass
正确答案：A
解析：此题考查虚拟语气。表示与过去事实相反的假设时，条件从句用过去完成时，主句为：should(would) have+ 过去分词。此题的条件从句省略了if，采用倒装，所以正确答案为A。全句意为：“如果过去几个月彻丽学习努力一些，就会通过高考的。”
34 ____________at the observation window, the tourists can enjoy a bird-eye view of the beautiful city. 正确答案 解析
A. Seating
B. To be seated
C. To seat
D. Seated
正确答案：D
解析：通读全句，可知其含义为：“游客坐在观光窗口可以鸟瞰这座美丽的城市。”由于seat是及物动词，它与主句的主语tourists又呈逻辑上的动宾关系，所以要用过去分词形式，即正确答案为D。
35 As you all know,____________ is called “equality” does not necessarily mean all people have equal rights. 正确答案 解析
A. that
B. which
C. what
D. it
正确答案：C
解析：通过分析句子的结构可知，所缺部分与is called “equality”一起构成整个句子的主语，很明显要选的单词为主语从句中的主语，所以唯一正确的答案为C。that虽然也可引导主语从句，但它在从句中不充当任何成分，所以不正确。全句意为：“众所周知，所谓的平等并不一定意味着所有的人都享有平等的权利。”
36 Lily's close friend brought her quite a few valuable jewels____________. 正确答案 解析
A. to choose from
B. for choosing from
C. to be chosen
D. to choose
正确答案：A
解析：根据句法结构，此处需要一个动词不定式作后置定语；同时，表示“从……中选择”需要加上介词from表示范围，所以正确答案为A。全句意为：“李莉的密友带来好几件贵重的珠宝供她选择。”
37 Word came ____________our duties would be changed because of the weather. 正确答案 解析
A. when
B. which
C. that
D. as
正确答案：C
解析：通过分析句子的结构可知，此处需要一个词来引导同位语从句修饰主语word，所以正确答案为C。全句意为：“传来消息说由于天气变化我们的任务有变。”
38 — Don't go to the suburban area alone in the evening.
— Don't worry. I ____________. 正确答案 解析
A. didn't
B. haven't
C. won't
D. don't
正确答案：C
解析：对话的一方说：“晚上不要单独去郊区”，另一方回答：“别担心，我不会去的”，即“去”这个动作还没发生，所以应该用一般将来时，即正确答案为C。
39 To some extent, unemployment as well as taxes____________ votes. 正确答案 解析
A. influences
B. influence
C. have influenced
D. has influences
正确答案：A
解析：此题考查主谓一致。当主语后面跟有with, together with, like, except, but, no less than, as well as 等词引起的短语时，谓语动词与前面的主语一致，所以正确答案为A。全句意为：“在一定程度上，失业和税收都影响选举。”同类的例子又如：The teacher together with some students is visiting the factory。
40 — She looked unusually cheerful the whole morning.
— She____________a two-week leave. 正确答案 解析
A. has granted
B. had granted
C. had been granted
D. was granted
正确答案：C
解析：对话的一方说：“她整个上午都非常高兴”，另一方回答：“领导准了她两周的假”，可知她是因准假而高兴，即“准假”发生在她“高兴”之前，是在过去某个时间之前完成的动作，所以应用过去完成时，即正
确答案为C。

41 正确答案 解析
A. it
B. that
C. which
D. what
正确答案：A
解析：根据句法结构，谓语动词find后面带的是复合宾语，此处需要一个形式宾语来代替宾补necessary后面的真正宾语，即动词不定式短语，所以正确答案为A。
42 正确答案 解析
A. make
B. decide
C. encourage
D. show
正确答案：C
解析：根据句法结构，所缺谓语动词后面带的是复合宾语，而且宾补带有动词不定式符号to，所以正确答案为C。选项A虽然也可带复合宾语，但不定式符号to应省略，所以不正确。全句意为：“鼓励丈夫和孩子学着做一些简单的菜肴。”
43 正确答案 解析
A. likely
B. probably
C. absolutely
D. surely
正确答案：B
解析：此处需要一个副词作状语，先从词性上排除选项A。选项C和D分别表示“绝对”和“一定”，但根据句意，他们只是“可能”喜欢这种经历，所以正确答案为B。

Part IV. Writing
Directions: In this part, you are asked to write a short passage on the topic \"Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China\". You should write at least 100 words based on the outline below in Chinese.
1. 中国环境污染的现状。
2. 造成污染的原因。
3. 解决的办法。
Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China
参考答案：
Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China
It is reported that ten big cities in China are ranked among the top twenty cities which are seriously polluted in the world. This means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.
Many factors are contributing to the worsening environment in China. For example, industrial wastes are poured into the lakes and rivers without being disposed; an increasing number of automobiles are making much noise in the street and emitting their exhaust into the air.
What can we do to solve this problem? In my opinion, strict laws and regulations must be set and implemented. Industries that release wastes without treatment should be heavily fined. Cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air. What’s more, the public should be told to be environment-conscious.
If everybody works toward a common goal of bettering the environment, we are sure to create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.
