Passage 1

Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line(排队) at the airport in Santo

2

Domingo. She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad(出国), she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage(行李) and put it on the scales(称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check(检查核对) in his luggage.

“What’s wrong with this girl?” He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.

Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand(帮助) with my luggage?”

The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back. Everyone was looking at him with disapproval(不赞成). (224 words)

11. Maria’s story happened .

A. when she was leaving America B. on her way back to Santo Domingo C. before she left the USA D. when she arrived at the airport D

细节判断题。答案可以从第1行和第2行找到: Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line(排队) at the airport in Santo Domingo. She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. 16岁的Maria正在Santo Domingo机场排队等候，打算离开本国去美国姐姐处。

12. You believe that the work of the airline employee(职工, 雇员) mentioned in the story is to ______ at the airport.

A. help carry people’s luggage B. ask people to pick up the luggage C. check people’s luggage D. take care of people’s luggage C

细节判断题，答案在文中第1段第六句she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage(行李) and put it on the scales(称)(她忽然听见机场工作人员要求她把行李提到称上) 和第5行The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check(检查核对) in his luggage(排在她后的男子很不耐烦, 他也正等着检查行李)，即机场工作人员负责检查乘客的行李。

13. “Why are you so upset(心烦的)?” Maria said to the man. She wanted to tell him that he should not be . A. surprised B. sad C. unhappy D. sorry C

细节题。文中第1段第5行The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check(检查核对) in his luggage(排在她后的男子很不耐烦, 他也正等着检查行李)，文中第二段He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat(他走上前，把包放在柜台上，

3

想先检查。他急着占个好座位)，指出那位男乘客想要早登机占个好座位，所以看到Maria很慢就很不高兴，面露不快的表情。

14. “Everyone was looking at him with disapproval.” This sentence means that the people around felt . A. worried about Maria B. worried about the man

C. sorry for Maria’s manners D. sorry for the man’s manners D

推理题。根据文章最后两句话的含义，我们很容易判断出来：当时周围的人听到了Maria和那个男士的谈话，觉得那个男士很没礼貌。因此，面露不赞同的神色看着他(Everyone was looking at him with disapproval)。

15. The author mentioned Maria’s age at the beginning of the story in order to show that . A. she was young but behaved properly B. she would not have left home alone C. everyone around her was wrong

D. it was not good that nobody offered to help her A

从文中我们可以看到，当那位男士听到Maria的英语时，感到很吃惊，同时大家觉得Maria要比那位男士表现得更得体，这正好与Maria的年纪形成对比。因此答案选A，来突出Maria小小年纪，却很有礼貌。

Passage 2

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range(中期) and long-term goals.

Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid(坚固的, 结实的) short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.

The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.

Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. (221 words)

16. Our long-term goals mean a lot(具有重要性或价值) . A. If we cannot reach solid short-term goals B. If we complete the short-term goals

4

C. if we have dreams of the future D. if we put forward some plans B

细节题，答案可以从文章第2段第3句找到 “It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid(坚固的, 结实的) short-term goals(我们应该记住, 正如同没有根基的建筑物是不牢固的, 短期目标不完成, 根本就谈不上长期目标)”，即长期目标是以短期目标的完成为基础的。 17. New short-term goals are built upon . A. a daily basis

B. your achievement in a week C. current activities

D. the goals that have been completed D

细节判断题，答案在文章第2段末行: Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed(一旦完成短期目标, 我们就可以确定时机, 在以前完成的目标的基础上再确立新的短期目标)，即短期目标是以以前完成的目标为前提的。

18. When we complete each step of our goals, . A. we will win final success B. we are overwhelmed

C. we should build up confidence of success

D. we should have strong desire for setting new goals C

细节题，答案在文章第三段第3句As you complete each step, you will enforce (增加) the belief in your ability to grow and succeed，即完成每一个目标，将会增加我们成功的信心。

19. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Life is a dynamic thing.

B. we should set up long-term goals. C. Different kinds of goals in life. D. The limitation of long-term goals. C

主旨题，文章主要是讲解了三种人生目标(长期, 中期, 以及短期目标)及其差异。

20. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? . A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals.

B. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.

C. Life is a static (静态的) thing, thus we should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.

D. We should often add new short-term goals to those which have been completed.

5

C

判断题，根据文章内容，我们可以看出人生有各种目标, 完成之后又确立新的目标, 因此“生活不是一个一成不变的事物”。

Passage 3

Britain and France are separated by the English Channel(英吉利海峡), a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.

Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary(周年纪念)of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality(友好协议). The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership(合作关系).

But their relationship has been ups and downs(盛衰, 沉浮) over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce(极端强烈或激烈的) disagreements over the Iraq war--which British Prime Minister(首相) Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out(大胆地说, 大声地说) against it. This discomfort(使人不舒服或不安的事物) is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor(总理) Gerhard Schroeder with a hug(拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake(握手). However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.

The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys(调查)show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.

Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate(庆祝) 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel. (320 words)

21. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is . A. friendly B. impolite

C. brotherly D. a mixture of love and hate D

细节判断题。可参考第二段最后一句The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership(这一和约标志着伴随几百年战争和爱恨关系的两个国家之间的新开端)中,“love-hate partnership”是关键信息。

22. The war in Iraq does to the relationship between France and Britain. A. good B. harm

6

C. neither good nor harm D. both good and harm D

推理判断题。根据第三段中“there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war(对伊拉克战争有激烈的分歧)”和第四段中“some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties(一些政治专家认为伊拉克战争维系了两国的关系).”可以得出答案。

23. The British are not so friendly to and the French are not so friendly to ______.

A. Germany; America B. America; Germany C. Germany; Germany D. America; America A

细节判断题。根据第四段 “Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US(这种令人不快的情感可能因为英国人讨厌法国人和德国人的亲近关系, 也可能因为法国人不高兴英国人和美国人的亲近)”,这一段说明可以得出答案。

24. are more interested in having holidays in . A. American people„ Britain B. British people„ Germany C. French people„ Britain D. British people„ France D

细节判断题。根据第四段的第二句But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year(但这并不妨碍每年1千2百万英国人在法国度假)。

25. What does the last sentence mean?

A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.

B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain.

C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them.

D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain. C

推测句义。通过文章中对两国关系既爱又恨的描述，两国庆祝友好协议签订100周年的事实等可以判断出：尽管两国在某些问题上存在分歧和争议，但毕竟两国是一衣带水的邻邦，两国的关系会在争议中找到平衡点，并且两国的关系会有更进一步的发展。

第三部分：词汇与结构（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

此部分共有20个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并用铅笔将答题卡上的相应字母涂黑。示例[A] [B] [C] [D]

26. I don’t know the park, but it’s to be quite beautiful. A. said B. told C. spoken D. talked

7

A 表示“据说”可用两个句型：It is said that…; be said to be…。（It’s said to be quite beautiful. = It’s said that it is quite beautiful.）

27. Mike is better than Peter swimming.

A. for B. at C. on D. in B

be good at是一常用固定短语，意为“擅长”，在“在„„方面做得好”。该句中用了good的比较级形式better，要注意分辨。

28. The baby is hungry, but there’s milk in the bottle(瓶子). A. little B. a little C. few D. a few A

（a）few用来修饰可数名词，（a）little则用以修饰不可数名词。由其中but一词的转折意义可知该句为否定意味，故答案非A莫属。 29. Nancy is girl.

A. a eighteen-year-old B. an eighteen-years-old C. a eighteen-years-old D. an eighteen-year-old D

注意eighteen-year-old是一个只作定语的复合形容词，其中的单位词year不能用复数形式，例：a five-year-old boy（一个五岁的男孩）。

30. Harry, who had failed in the final exam, had a great worry his mind. A. on B. in C. with D. at A

Harry期末考试不及格，心里非常担忧。 on one’s mind为固定短语，意思为“担忧”，in one’s mind “记住，放在心上”。 31. Do you know the man under the apple tree?

A. lay B. lain C. lying D. laying C

你认识躺在苹果树下的那位男子吗？ lie（lay, lain; lying）vi.“平躺，位于”；lie（lied, lied; lying）vi.“撒谎”；lay（laid, laid; laying）vt.“放置，下蛋，产卵”。依据题意，此题应该用“平躺”之意的现在分词，故选lying。

32. ― Is the library now? ― No, it’s . A. open; close B. opening; closing C. open; closed D. opened; closed C

open既可用作动词，又可用作形容词；动词close的形容词形式（过去分词）是closed。

33. ― When shall we meet again?

― it any day you like. It’s all the same to me. A. Do B. Get C. Meet D. Make D

make it： To be successful： <口>成功；达到预定目标, 及时抵达, 走完路程, (病痛等)好转。

8

此处是约定时间，有“做到”，“把时间定在„„”之意。 34. girl dressed black is her sister Rose. A. A; in B. A; on C. The; on D. The; in D

介词in除了有“在„里面”、“在„上”、“用„”以及“从事”等意义外，还有“穿（戴）”的意思。此外，表示双方共知的事物的名词前要用定冠词。 35. Although he did not know London well, he made his way to the airport. A. easy enough B. enough C. easily enough D. enough easily C

尽管他不十分熟悉伦敦，仍然到达了机场。

enough修饰形容词或者副词时需要后置。此句的副词easily修饰动词made。此处的to为介词，make one’s way to前往„„

36. Two thousand dollars enough for the car.

A. being B. were C. are D. is D

货币单位作主语时看作单数，因为它在概念上属于一个整体。另外，距离、重量、时间等单位充当主语时也看作单数，例如：Ten miles is longer than ten kilometers.

37. They have learned about in recent years. A. several hundreds English words B. hundreds of English words C. hundred of English words D. several hundred English word B

hundreds of之类的短语之前也可加many，several之类的词修饰。A项的错误在于hundreds后缺少of。

38. With his work completed, the manager stepped back to his seat, feeling pleased ____ he was a man of action.

A. which B. that C. what D. whether B

工作完成后，经理退回到座位上，满意于自己是个行动派的人。

因为此题干中的宾语从句不但句子成分完整而且不缺词义，而that作为纯粹连词，无具体词义，也不作句子成分，只起连接作用。所以选B。 39. ― ?

― She’s our history teacher.

A. What’s she B. Where does the woman work C. Who is she D. How is the woman C

What’s sb？是询问某人职业的句型。但这句话是“她是谁？”而不是问职业。倘若题干中的our改为a，则答案为A。

40. Today’s weather is worse than yesterday’s.

A. very B. much C. very much D. much too B

Very用来修饰形容词的原级形式；much修饰比较级；very much一般用来修

9

饰动词；much too常用来修饰形容词的原级形式。

41. It is said that boys in your school like playing football in their spare time, though others prefer basketball.

A. quite a lot B. quite a few C. quite a bit D. quite a little B

据说你们学校相当多的男孩喜欢在空余时间踢足球，不过也有一些喜欢打篮球。

a bit或者 a little用来修饰不可数名词， quite a lot用来修饰动词 I like him quite a lot. “我非常喜欢他”。所以正确答案是quite a few + boys。 42. ― What’s his mother like? ― . A. She’s very happy B. She’s at home C. She likes watching TV B. She’s tall and thin D

由what’s可知like为介词：象, 如同。该句是询问某人长相的常用句型。 43. The new order means overtime.

A. works B. worked C. to work D. working D

新命令意味着要加班工作。 mean doing“意味着”；mean to do“打算做”。

44. She has two best friends. of them is in the country. A. All B. Both C. No one D. Neither D

neither of„表示“两者都不”，其后的谓语动词要用单数。这是固定的用法。 45. I was giving a talk to a large group of people, the same talk I to half a dozen other groups before.

A. was giving B. am giving C. had given D. have given C

我正在给一大群人做报告，之前我曾经给6群人做过同样的报告。 凡是表示过去动作之前的动作要用过去完成式“had+动词的过去分词”。根语境可知had given的动作发生在was giving之前，所以选C。

第四部分：完型填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

此部分共有10个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中空缺部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并用铅笔将答题卡上的相应字母涂黑。示例[A] [B] [C] [D]

此处意为“老师会花一两个小时用幻灯来解释讲课的内容，写出一些重要的信息”。Illustrate“用图解说明，举例说明”。

47. A. attributing B. contributing C. distributing D. explaining C

此处意为“(老师会花一两个小时用幻灯来解释讲课的内容，写出一些重要的信息)，散发一些阅读材料，布置作业”。Attribute“把„„的原因归为„„”；contribute“有助于，贡献”；distribute“分发，散发”，与下文的give out同义。 48. A. suspects B. understands C. wonders D. convinces C

新生发现别的学生一直在记笔记，他们不知道该记些什么，所以用wonders。而suspects“怀疑”；understands“理解，明白”；convinces“让人相信”，与题意不符。

49. A. what B. those C. as D. which D

这里是一个并列句，并列的两个部分是which do not catch the main points and which become hard even for the students to understand.学生离开课堂时, 所记的笔记未抓住要点, 甚至可以说愈加难以理解.

effective“有效的”；passive“被动的”；relative“相对的”；expressive“表现的，富于表情的”。

Water and Life

1．随着工业化（industrialization）的推进，地球上的淡水（fresh water）越来越少。

2．生命没水就要消亡（disappear），因此人类要珍惜（treasure）淡水。 3．我们如何节约用水。

While we are enjoying the rich fruits of modern industrialization, we are losing something precious on this planet. Fresh water, among others, is dwindling down day by day, owing to the large-scale industrialization everywhere in the world.

Just as sunshine is a necessity to life, so is fresh water. Without fresh water, our human society would come to a stop.

12

As fresh water is such an important resource to the human society, we need to treasure it as we treasure our life, but how?

First, our government should have a good plan for the use of fresh water and develop industries that consume less water. Second, waste water must be recycled. Finally everyone of us should do his bit to save water.

13
