2. The boys______ living with Robin Hood in Sherwood forest better than being President of the United States.
A.would like
B.would have liked
C.like
D.liked
A B C D
B
表达不可能实现的愿望的虚拟语气。句子大意为：那些孩子们宁愿和罗宾汉一起住在Sherwood树林里也不愿当美国总统。A)项 would like 通常用在口语中来表示一种想做某事的愿望，如： I'd like to go shopping with you．C) 项里的like 是喜欢的意思。D) 项是like 的过去时，均不符合题意，所以正确答案为表示虚拟语气的动词形式B)。
3. ______to become a lawyer, he began to prepare himself for his chosen work.
8. ______made her disappointed was that her son failed again in his final exams.
A.That
B.What
C.It
D.How
A B C D
B
主语从句。句子大意为：使她感到失望的是，她的儿子期末考试又没有通过。本句中应该填在空里的词位于动词之前，显然在主语从句中既要作主语又必须是连接词，这样只有B) 项 what 这个连接词可担当此任。A) 项的 that可以引导主语从句，．却不能在主语从句中作主语；C)项的it 在这里无论是意义或语法都不正确；D)项的 how 是连接词，表示“如何，怎样”，与句意不符。
9. The people at the party were worried about Jane ______her daughter was missing yesterday and hadn't been found.
A.if
B.although
C.because
D.unless
A B C D
C
状语从句。句子大意为：出席宴会的人都为 Jane 感到担心，因为她的女儿昨天失踪了，还没有找到。四个选项均为连接词，A)if (如果)，B) although (虽然，尽管)，C) because(因为)，D)unless (除非)，根据句子意思应该选择表示原因的C)项。
10. That tall tree,______ branches are almost bare, is about 100 years old.
Section B Directions:There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. Humans, like other animals, have a(biology)______clock that tells us when to sleep and eat.
5. Dr. Small continued to encourage this (hungry)______for knowledge in him and forever introduced him to new areas of study.
hunger。
词性转换题(形容词变名词)。句子大意为：Small 博士不断地鼓励他渴求知识，不停地把他带入研究的新领域。用于指示代词this之后，介词for之前应该是用名词，换句话说，在这里只有名词才可以前被指示代词所修饰，后被介词短语所修饰，二者都是它的定语。所以要用hungry 的名词形式：hunger．hunger for sth．意为：对……的渴望。
6. We want (product)______a new citizen who in turn will create a new world.
to produce。
语法题(动词的接续关系)。句子大意为：我们想塑造新的公民，而他转过来能创造一个新的世界。动词want后常可用动词不定式作宾语，a new citizen 这一名词短语是动词不定式短语中动词的宾语。因此，我们要把名词 product 转换成动词不定式：to produce。
7. The problem, which is very complex, (solve)______by a young boy of fifteen.
has been solved。
语法题(动词时态和语态)。句子大意为：这个非常复杂的问题是由一个15岁的小男孩所解决的。句子的主语the problem 是动作的对象，也就是说是被解决的，这点还可以根据后边的by 短语推出，再者，根据句子里定语从句的时态可以断定这里应该用现在完成时，表示问题已经被解决。所以用solve的现在完成时的被动语态，又因作名词用的主语是单数名词，所以用 has been solved。
8. My mother spends about two hours every morning(clean)______the house.
cleaning。
语法题(现在分词)。句子大意为：我母亲每天早晨都要花大约两个小时来打扫屋子。本句所用的结构是：spend (time) doing sth．(花时间做某事)，所以应该用现在分词 cleaning。又如：Yesterday he spent the whole day sending e-mail to his friends in Australia．(昨天他花了一整天的时间给他在澳大利亚的朋友发电子邮件。)另一类似的结构是：It takes (time) to do sth．例如：It took me 30 minutes to get here by car．(我开车到这里花了30分钟的时间。)
9. (Give)______more time and fund, the scientists will be able to work out good solutions to the environmental problem.
Given。
语法题(过去分词)。句子大意为：如果给他们更多的时间和资金，科学家们一定能研究出解决环境问题的好办法来。given 可以用来表示：如果“……”，如：Given the chance，I will apologize to her．(如果有机会，我会向她道歉的。)
10. Bill always enjoys (play)______video games in the evening and never finishes his
playing。
语法题(动词的接续关系)。句子大意为：Bill总喜欢在晚上玩电脑游戏，从来也不按时完成作业。动词enjoy常常跟动名词作宾语。例如：Jane enjoys reading English novels while Bill enjoys playing basketball．(简喜欢看英语小说，而比尔喜欢打篮球。)可以接动名词的动词还有：finish，avoid，mind，suggest，like，hate， acknowledge，admit，advocate，consider，defer，delay，deny，dislike，escape，evade，fancy，grudge，imagine，include， keep，miss，postpone，practice，recall，resent，resist，risk等。
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions:This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to .fulfil. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 When Mrs. Joseph Grudger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious question," why did she live to be 107?" Tentative (推测性的)answers were provided by a survey conducted among148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city's image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity of those interviewed. This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster and less frustrating to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so the people living there must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking. On the other hand, those who live in the country, and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school ,work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.
1. The Vienna survey may help to explain______.
A.the complaint of people living in apartments
B.the cause of Mrs. Grudger's death
C.the longevity of people like Mrs. Grudger
D.the image of cities in general
A B C D
C
细节题。本题问及维也纳调查的内容。第一自然段告诉我们：a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100．(在148名年至百岁的维也纳人中展开的调查)。可见调查是有关长寿老人的。又根据第一和第二行可知本次调查是在107岁的高龄老人Groeger夫人去世时，人们发出“她为什么能活107岁”的疑问的情况下进行的。因此C)项：像Groeger夫人那样的长寿老人是正确的选项。A)项是住在公寓里的人们的抱怨。B)Groeger夫人的死因；短文中并没有提及。 D)the image of cities (城市的形象)，第一段中虽出现了，但与调查内容无关，所以并非此题的正确答案。
2. People to be interviewed were selected on the basis of______.
3. The factor that is important to long life is______.
A.image
B.running
C.exercise
D.food
A B C D
C
细节题。本题问及对长寿起重要作用的因素是什么。短文第一段最后一句话说：One factor seems to be important to the longevity of those interviewed．(有一个因素对采访对象来说似乎很重要。)第二段的第一句说：This factor is exercise。(这个因素就是锻炼。)因此应该选择C)项exercise (锻炼)。其他三个干扰项分别为：A)image(形象)；B)running(跑步)；D)food(食物)；都不是直接的答案。
4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.City people have often to walk to local supermarkets.
B.People living in small apartment buildings often walk down and up stairs.
C.Country people often drive to work instead of walking.
D.Country people live near supermarkets, so they don't have to drive there.
A B C D
D
是非题。此题问下列哪句话不正确。A)项城里人常常步行去当地的超市；与第二段的一句话：City people can usually walk to local supermarkets 相符，所以不是正确答案。B) 住在小公寓里的人们常常步行上下楼梯；第二段中说道：Smaller apartment houses have no elevators，and so people living there must climb stairs．(小公寓的房子没有电梯，所以住在那里的人们得爬楼梯。)是一正确说法，所以不是此题的正确答案。C)乡下人常常开车而不是步行去上班；与文章在最后一段谈到乡村的人们时，所说的最后一句意思大致相符：To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars．(他们上学、上班、几乎去任何地方都必须开车。)因此不能说提法不对。D)乡下人住在超市附近，所以用不着开车去那里。与文章最后一段的意思相悖，所以才是本题的正确答案。
5. We can learn from this passage that______.
A.living in cities is better than living in' the country
B.Vienna is a good place to live in
C.anyone living in cities can live to be 107 years old
Task 2 In only twenty years Asian Americans have become the fastest- growing US minority. As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was appearing. Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics And science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the US with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree. Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do ,and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success ,such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.
1. Asian- American students have made great achievements in______.
A.mathematics and English
B.mathematics and science
C.science and arts
D.arts and engineering
A B C D
B
细节题。本题问道：亚裔美国学生在哪方面取得了很大的成就。根据短文第一自然段的一句话：Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities，where mathematics，science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character．(他们的成就反映在国家最优秀的大学里，那里的数学、理科、工科无一不带有亚洲特色。)可见，B)项：数学、理科，符合题意，是正确的选项。A)数学、英语；C)理科、文科；D)文科、工科；都不准确。
2. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?
A.A solid foundation in mathematics and Asian culture.
B.Hard work and intelligence inherited from their parents.
C.Great help and a limited knowledge of English.
D.Asian culture and American educational system
A B C D
A
细节题。本题的问题是：决定亚裔美国人成功的主要因素是什么?根据第一段的一句话：This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact...(这种对数学、理科的特殊爱好可以部分地用下列事实作一解释，即到国外接受教育的亚裔美国学生到达美国时就具有扎实的数学基础，而英语懂得很少或根本没有英语知识。)再根据短文的最后一句话：许多研究人员还认为亚洲文化中的某种东西孕育了成功，比如重视家庭价值观、注重教育，所以选择A)项扎实的数学基础和亚洲文化。B)项用功学习和继承的父母的智力。文中提到了父母的帮助，但不是此项所提的内容。C)项很大的帮助和有限的英语知识。属于反面干扰。D)项亚洲文化和美国的教育制度。是一强有力的干扰项，其中亚洲文化是对的，可是美国教育制度的影响，短文中是在谈到父母的影响时提到的(第二段第一句)，意思是父母认为应该充分利用美国教育制度所提供的东西，所以与题意不完全符合。
3. Asian American students major in engineering mainly because______.
A.their parents learn it and they ask them to learn it too
B.the investment can be returned more quickly
C.there is a difference between Asian and Western cultures

Task 5 Not being insured for one is. A flood moves with frightening speed. In minutes, a flood can wash away everything you and your family have spent a lifetime building. But often the worst isn't the flood. It's finding out ,too late, that you're not covered for flood damage. You're probably not covered. The truth is,90% of all natural disasters in this country involve floods. Yet, as many find out too late ,most homeowner's insurance policies don't cover flood damage. Everyone runs the risk of being a flood victim. In fact, between 25% and 30% of flood insurance claims come from "low risk" areas. It could happen to you. Give yourself peace of mind. Fortunately, now you can protect your home and property with flood insurance from the National Flood Insurance Program. Return the coupon or call your insurance company, agent or this toll-free number: 1 -888 - CALL FLOOD extension 159. Act now since it takes 30 days before your coverage begins. Because with floods you can never say never. We can't replace your memories, but we can help you build new ones. National Flood Insurance
3. Why is flood insurance necessary to you? Because most of natural disasters in this country ______.
involve floods。
由第四自然段可知这个国家的百分之九十的自然灾害来自洪水。所以接在Because most of natural disasters in this country (因为这个国家的大多数自然灾害)后应填写 involve floods。
4. Who provide the insurance? A company called ______.
National Flood Insurance。
由广告的署名得知是一家名为国家洪水保险的保险公司所做的广告。
5. When should you get covered?
Now。
根据短文倒数第二和第三自然段，应该现在就上保险。
