本题的解题关键在于抓住对话中关于衣服的词汇,比如white dress,without collar and belt,还有试穿衣服的动词和词组suit以及try it on。还要注意提出的问题,有可能是关于对话的主题,如:What are they talking about? 或者提问谈话人的关系或身份的问题,如:What is the relationship between the two speakers? 而在此题中提问的是对话中的细节。

本题的解题关键在于理解男上对伦敦的印象,一般先有—个总体的介绍,这里就是It,sinteresting.我们可以看出他还是很喜欢伦敦的,然后又继续说明自己对这个城市的特殊喜好,即buildings of different styles,所以可以推断出他喜欢伦敦的建筑。D)项谈到他喜欢城市里的现代建筑,对话中并未表明他对古代或现代建筑有什么特别的喜爱。

对话的前两句是两个陌生人之间第一次见面时常用的句式,通过对话,可以得知女士想见人事经理,所以可以推断她是来求职的,而且她在第三句中也直接说明了如何得知招聘信息的:I come in answer to your ad for saleswoman,由此可知Lucy是通过广告得知的。

very easy
[解析] 11-15 People often think that teacher has a very easy job. It is easy in some ways, and in others it is difficult. The easiest part about it is the spacious routine. There are not many teachers who, like businessmen and professional people, are on duty forty-eight or fifty weeks a year every year; and there are still few who teach from nine to five every (lay, five days a week. Most schools and colleges run for only nine months in the year alto gether, and there is seldom any necessity for a teacher to be on call every hour of the working day. Of course, there is a great deal to be done outside teaching hours. Some of it is routine -- preparing examinations, reading papers, interviewing pupils. Some of it is research and preparation. )3ut much of this kind of work can be done in one's own time, at one sown home.
[解析] 由问题和答案的其他部分可知这里需要填人一个修饰teacher's job的形容词。在录音的开头,一定要注意力集中,因为开头是很重要的,有些人的观点和立场会很鲜明的摆在开头。根据People of- ten think that teacher has a very easy job.可以写出答案,
2. Who are on duty forty-eight or fifty weeks a year every year? Business men and______.
professional people
[解析] 由问题和答案的其他部分可知这里需要填入一个和businessmen并列的名词。在解释教师工作看似简单的时候,原文中提到了只有一些老师like businessmen and professional people,are on duty forty-eight or fifty weeks a year every year,所以可写出答案。
3. How long do most schools and colleges run in the year alto gether?
Nine months
[解析] 由问题可知这里需要填入表示时间的名词短语。原文中直接提到了Most schools and colleges run for only nine months in the year alto gether,所以答案是nine months。
4. What do teachers do outside teaching hours? Preparing examinations, reading papers and______.
interviewing pupils
[解析] 由问题和答案的其他部分可知这里需要填入动词+ing的短语形式,原文中首先提到了Of course,there is a great deal to be done outside teaching hours.这时需要格外注意,要提到具体的细节了, its routine主要包括prepanng examinations,reading papers,以及interviewing pupils。
5. Where can research and preparation be done? This kind of work can be done at______.
one's own home
[解析] 由问题和答案的其他部分可知这里需要填入地点状语。根据Some of it is research and preparation.But much of this kind of work can be done in one's own time,at one's own home.可以写出答案。
Part Ⅱ Structure Directions: This part is to test your ability to construct grammatically correct sentence. It consists of 2 sections.

You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D).

C.take
D.takes
A B C D
C
[解析] 虚拟语气 [句意] 图书管理员坚持认为玛丽在还上她从图书馆借的全部书籍之前不能再借其他的书。 [解析] 当主句谓语动词为instst时,宾语从句通常使用虚拟语气,采用(should)+动词原形的形式。有此类用法的动词还有表示建议、命令、要求或决定等意义的,如suggest,propose,demand,order,“require,request,decide,recommend等。 [避错指导] will take,to ok,takes都不符合奉题虚拟语气的要求。
4. The house is very big and beautiful. I think the rent must be______as that one.
A.three times more
B.as much three times
C.three times as much
D.as three times more
A B C D
C
[解析] 形容词的原级 [句意] 这所房子非常大,非常漂亮。我觉得房租肯定有那所房子房租的三倍那么多。 [解析] 形容词原级有时可以用含数词的名词短语修饰,表示确定度量,名词短语在这里用作状语,通常置于as…as结构如。例如:This suitcase is three time as heavy as that(这只手提箱是那只的三倍重。) [避错指导] three times more为形容词比较级形式,与than连用,因此本题此处还可改为I think the rent must be twice more,than that one;as much three times的词序不对;as three times more与本题句型不符。
5. The medicine is on sale everywhere, so you can get it at______chemist's.
A.some
B.few
C.any
D.certain
A B C D
C
[解析] 代词用法 [句意] 这种药到处都有卖的,所以你在任何药店都能买到, [解析] 根据句意,要与前面的everywhere"到处”相对应,所以应该选择不定代词any,表不“任何(—个)”药店。 [避错指导] some和certain通常表示某(些)物或人,如:A certain(some)person has seen you break the rule,(有人看到你违反规则了。);few通常表示少,修饰可数名词。

B.had arrived
C.will arrive
D.would arrive
A B C D
A
[解析] 动词时态 [句意] 孩子一回到学校,就要开始做作业。 [解析] 本题中主句为一般将来时,从句中可以用现在完成时,表示将来完成的动作或状态。如:When you hav got time,I will show you how to use the machine.(等你有时间,我教你怎样使用这台机器。) [避错指导)had arrived为过去完成时形式;will arrive为一般将来时形式;would arrive为过去将来时形式。
7. So little______ about mathematics that the lecture was completely beyond me.
A.I know
B.I knew
C.do I know
D.did I know
A B C D
D
[解析] 倒装 [句意] 我对数学所知太少了,根本听不懂这个讲座。 [解析] So+形容词或副词…that结构通常引起部分倒装。例如:So easy was the task that they fin- ished it in a few days.(这项工作如此容易,他们几天就完成了。) [避错指导)I know和I knew不是倒装语序;do l know的时态与本题不符。
8. The captain is the only one of the players______ the team practice regularly.

B.who have attended
C.who has attended
D.who attended
A B C D
C
[解析] 主谓—致 [句意] 队长是这些队员中惟一经常参加队伍训练的人。 [解析] 在“one of+名词复数+who/which/that所引导的定语从句”结构中,从句谓语动词常用复数形式,例如:This is one of the most interesting questions that have been asked.(这是已提出的非常有趣的问题之一。);但当one前面有the only修饰时,定语从句的先行词不再是of后面的名词the players,而是前面的the only one,表示所限定的情况只适用于一人,因此从句谓语动词用单数形式。 [避错指导] have attended缺少作从句主语的关系代词;who have attended要求先行词为复数;who at- tended在时态上不符合。
9. ______ from the hill, the sense of pride suddenly appeared in our mind.
A.When we saw it
B.Having seen
C.Seeing
D.Seen
A B C D
A
[解析] 状语从句 [句意] 当我们从山顶上看到它时,心中突然生出一种自豪感。 [解析] When引导的时间状语从句。 [避错指导] Having seen为现在分问的完成式,Seeing为现在分词的一般式,Seen为过去分词,它们的逻辑主语都不是the sense of pride,因此与本题不符,只能选择状语从句。
10. According to the newspaper, more than one worker______ dismissed in this economic depression.
A.have been
B.are
C.has been
D.has
A B C D
C
[解析] 被动语态 [句意] 报上说,在这次经济大萧条中,很多工人都被解雇了。 [解析] 按照主谓一致原则,“more than one+名词"作主语时要求谓语动词用单数形式;又因为work- er与dismissed"解雇”之间是被动关系,所以此处用has been. [避错指导] have been和are要求主语为复数;has在这里无法表示被动的意思。
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. I dreamed of becoming an (engine) ______ while my father wanted me to be a lawyer.

written
[解析] 过去分词 [句意] 第—本用于将英语作为一门外语来教的教材出现于16世纪。 [解析] 此处空格为textbook的定语,与textbook是被动关系,所以应该用其过去分词形式。written相当于定语从句which was written。
9. He was often (patient) ______ with his employee and as a result they decided not to work for him any longer.
impatient。
[解析] 词形转换 [句意] 他经常很不耐烦地对待他的职员,结果他们决定不再继续为他工作了。 [解析] 此处空格为was的表语,又因为as a result引起的句子表示的是否定意思,所以应该用其表示否定意思的形容词形式
10. The old man to ld me how he had given shelter and protection without which I (die) ______of hunger.
would have died
[解析] 虚拟语气 [句意] 那位老人告诉我他是如何给我提供了住宿和保护,否则我早就饿死了。 [解析] 此处空格所在的句子为without which引导定语从句(其先行间为shelter and protection),这是一个含蓄条件句(虽然没有条件从句,但意思和条件句差不多),表示与过去事实相反的假设,所以应该用虚拟语气。
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are ,5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed
Task 1 To day anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money. Most of the money to day is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money in many places, in China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of Africa, Cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, to o. The first metal coins were made in China. They were around and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver. But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used to day. Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until to day.
1. Which can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?
A.To sell a bicycle for $ 20.
B.To get some money for old books at a garage sale.
C.To buy things you need or want.
D.To get paid for your work.
A B C D
D
根据第一段第一句To day anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services.可知货币可以用来交换商品和劳务,又根据该段最后一句When they work,they usually get paid is money, (当人们工作时,通常得到酬金。)可知由丁作得酬金属于以货币交换劳务,因此答案为D), [避错指导]A)“以20美元卖掉一辆引子车”,B)“在旧货市场花钱头旧书”,C)“购买所需物品”,都是用货币来交换商品的例子,因此均不正确。
2. Shells were used as money in history ______.
A.in file Philippines
B.in China
C.in Africa
D.in many places
A B C D
D
根据文章第三段第一句Shells were not the only things used as money in many places.(在很多地方,贝壳并不是惟一用作货币的东西。)可知很多地方都用贝壳做过货币,而文章中又没有具体举例在何种地方使用过,因此答案为D)。 [避错指导]A)“菲律宾群岛”,B)“中国”,C)“非洲”,而文章中并没有提及这些地方使用过贝壳作货币,因此均错误。
3. The ancient Chinese coins had a square hole in the center because ______.
A.it would be easier to put them together and carry them around
B.it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place
C.people wanted to make it look nicer
D.people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from
A B C D
A
根据文章第四段最后一句话People strung them together and carried them from place to place.(人们可以用绳子把它们串在一起,便于携带。)因此答案为A)。 [避错指导]B)“可以减轻重量,便于携带”;C)“人们想使它更美观些”;D)“人们想节省一些用来铸币的贵重金属”。这三个选项的内容在文章中都没有提及。
4. If you had to buy something expensive, even gold and silver were inconvenient because______.
A.they are easy to steal
B.they are difficult for people to obtain
C.they are not easy to carry around
D.they themselves are expensive, too
A B C D
C
本题题干中所说的even gold and silver were inconvenient出现在文章倒数第二段的第一句话中,根据该段第二至三句Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money.They began to use Pa- per money.(中国人再次想到了改进货币的办法。他们开始使用纸币。)可以判断出,促成纸币发明的一大原因就是金属货币的重量不方便支付大额款项,因此答案为C)。 [避错指导]A)“它们容易被盗”,B)“人们难以获得它们”,D)“它们本身就很贵重”,均错误。
Task 2 In many parts of the world there is a debate about whether children should use pocket calculators in math lessons. They help children work faster and pass examinations. But critics say that they make the subject to o easy. This concern that .technology is doing much of our thinking for us cuts across many areas. People who use computers for many years find that their handwriting had deteriorated (变差). Artists paint pictures using computer software rather than learning to draw and paint. Tennis players no longer try to outwit (在智慧上战胜) their opponents. Advances in tennis racket technology make it easier to just blast the ball past them. Technology used to be about freeing people from boring physical labor like washing clothes. Now it is taking over increasingly complicated mental functions. Analysts are also worded about the effect of media saturation (渗透). The idea is that a constant diet of television has made people to o impatient to listen while things are explained to them. Television depends on pictures, preferably exciting ones. Events make better TV viewing than processes. Action comes before under- standing. There is a tendency to replace long explanation of complicated events with simple sum- maries. The tendency is called dumbing down. Critics say that it has produced a post-literate generation of people. They are able to read and write and capable of thinking and understanding. But they prefer to let the television do these things for them. To avoid going down this path, it is necessary to remember that the mind is like a muscle. The more it is exercised, the stronger it gets. The easy way is not always the best.
1. According to the passage, pocket calculators ______.
A.will help students think fast
B.will make math to o easy for them
C.will de harm to students' thinking ability
D.will contribute to the spread of new technology
A B C D
C
题十中所提到的袖珍计算器出现在文章第一段中,根据文章第二段第一句话This concern that technology is doing much of our thinking for us cuts across many areas.(科技正在替我们思考很多东西,这一问题已延伸到很多领域。)中的This可知,袖珍计算器会影响学牛的思考能力,因此答案为C)。 [避错指导]A)“将会帮学生更快地思考”;B)“将使数学变得很容易”;D)“将有利于新科技的传播”,均错误。
2. The expression "cuts across "( Line 1, Para. 2) most probably means ______.
A.to o much exposure to 'TV viewing is negative to people's intellectual well-being
B.to o much exposure to TV viewing makes people simple-minded
C.TV attracts Pe9Ple with exciting pictures
D.TV keeps people informed about current events
A B C D
A
根据第三段前两句话Technology used to be about freeing people from boring physical labor like washing clothes.Now it is taking over increasingly complicated mental functions.(过去,科技通常被用来将人们从洗衣等枯燥的体力劳动中解脱出来。而如今:科技正在接管越来越多的复杂的智力劳动。),又根据该段中对电视的负面影响的例证,可以推断出A)正确。 [避错指导]B)“看电视过多使人头脑简单”;C)“电视用令人兴奋的画面来吸引人”;D)“电视使人了解时事”,根据第三段第六至七行There is a tendency to replace long explanation of complicated events with simple summaries.(对于复杂的事件,倾向于用简短的概要来替代长篇的分析。)表明,电视在时事报道方面使人懒于深入的思考,因此D)错误。
5. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree to be a form of mental exercise?

Task 5 June 8, 2005 Dear Sirs, Many thanks for your offer(报价) dated May 26th for leather shoes and for the illustrated catalogues you very kindly rent us. We appreciate the high quality of your goods, but unfortunately we are not in a position to accept the 'offer on your terms. Your prices appear to be on rather high side and they will leave us little or no margin of profit.

Some suppliers even offer a special discount of as high as 20% on orders exceeding US $ 15,000. Much as we would like to do more business with you, it is rather difficult for us to accept the prices you offered. Unless you can reduce your 'prices by 10% ,we will have no choice but to satisfy our requirements elsewhere. It is highly appreciated if you will give the matter your due consideration and allow us the discount as we suggested. We await your early reply. Yours faithfully, Charles Austen

1. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but 'also express these thoughts in words which deeply attract our minds and emotions.
[解析] 本题的关键在于理解句子的结构,注意关键词的翻译。句子中有两层从句关系:句子的主干为 Great writers are those,然后由who引导定语从句来修饰those;这个定语从句本身是由not only...but also结构连接成的并列句,表示“不但有伟大的思想而且能用文字表达这些思想”;在but also后面这一句中又有which引导的定语从句来修饰words。A)项便是将which引导的定语从句误为修饰thoughts。在理清句子结构后,还要注意关键词的翻译,C)项将thoughts译成了“思考”,不准确,而且漏译了in words (用文字)。

[解析] 本题的关键在于理解as引导的让步状语从句和which引导的非限制性定语从句。此处as表示“虽然、尽管”,引导的让步状语从句通常采用倒装语序,本题中是表语Child提前,这个从句也可改成Although he was a child。A)项和B)项便没有理解as的这种用法,分别误译为“作为…”和“和…一样”。此处which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前整个主句,of是与后面的proud相搭配的,B)项对此处的翻译也不正确。D)项虽然基本意思正确,但不如C)项表达通畅。

[解析] 本题的关键在于理解句子的结构。It为形式主语,to 引导的不定式作真正主语;不定式中that引导的宾语从句中还有两层从句:whenever引导状语从句,该从句中又有定语从句that all others obey。D)项完全译错了;A)项存在明显的漏译;B)项的翻译基本正确,但对that引导的定语从句翻译的不够准确。
