[解析] 时态 [句意] 他告诉我他买了一盘磁带,而且下个星期还要再买一盘。 [解析] 本题是考查过去将来时。连词and后面的句子应该和he had bought a music tape并列作He told me的宾语,因此应该用过去时态;另外根据时间状语the next week,此处应该用过去将来时。

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 Theme-park-bound bargain seekers would be wise to spend some time surfing online before they get in line at the parks this summer. A growing number of these attractions now allow customers to print e-tickets at home with large discounts off the gate price, in part to spur attendance that has declined in recent years. After boom times in the late 1990s, theme park attendance began to decrease, with an overall decline of about 4% over the past few years at North American's 50 most-visited establishments, says James Zoltak, editor of Amusement Business. "The bloom was off the rose as we turned the corner into 2000, so there's more discounting now," he says. Discounting isn't new to an industry that has long partnered with other commercial enterprises, such as soft drink companies, to offer deals. But e-ticketing adds a new opportunity that not only brings savings but convenience as well, since it allows visitors to avoid the line at the gate. "If you can get in early before the lines fill up, you' re getting more for your money," says Robert Niles of the website Theme Park Inside.
1. The word "attractions" (Line 1, Para. 2) refers to ______.
A.e-tickets
B.bargains
C.theme Parks
D.discounts
A B C D
C
[解析] 语义理解题。本题问attractions指的是什么。名词attraction原意是指吸引人的事物,经常,指旅游景点。根据第一段Theme-park-bound bargain seekers would be wise……和第二段开头A growing number of these attractions now allow customers…,可知这里的these attractions是代指前面的theme park主题公园。注意these一般是用来指代上文提到过的事物,因此答案应该从上文找。
2. Why do more and more theme parks offer large discounts off the gate price?
A.To get in line at the parks this summer.
B.To reduce the attendance figure.
C.To enable people to get-e-tickets at home.
D.To encourage more people to come to the parks.
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题。本题问为什么越来越多的主题公园提供大幅度的折扣。答案在第二段后半部分..,with large discounts off the gate price,in part to spur attendance that has declined in recent years,本句中不定式短语in part to spur...是做目的状语,说明了为什么会有前面的large discounts off the gate price, 因此不定式部分就是本题和答案。选项[D]To encourage more people to come to the parks.鼓励更多的人来公园是该不定式内容的同义转述。
3. What does the sentence "The bloom was off the rose" mean?
A.The rose in the theme park was out of bloom.
B.The best time for the theme parks was gone.
C.The theme park attendance was like the rose.
D.The year 2000 was lucky for the 50 establishments.
A B C D
B
[解析] 语义理解题。本题问“The bloom was off the rose”是什么意思。首先找到其在文中的位置,第三段的结尾“The bloom was off the rose as we turned the corner into 2000,so there’s more discount ing now,根据后半句so there’s more discounting now因此现在我们有更多的折扣,可以判断情况应该是不如以前。The bloom was off the rose.字面意思是玫瑰花不再娇艳了,在本文中是一种引申义,注意做此类题时,凡是按其本意理解的选项一般都是错误的,可排除本题中的[A]和[C];而[D]选项则和本句意无关;因此答案为[B]。
4. What is the new opportunity e-ticketing brings to the theme parks?
A.The tour to the parks will be more convenient.
B.Soft drink companies will be better partners of the parks.
C.The theme park industry will be more profitable.
D.Visitors to the parks will have more discounts.
A B C D
A
[解析] 事实细节题。本题是问e-tickets电子票给主题公园带了什么机会。本题出自倒数第二段的结尾But e-ticketing adds a new opportunity that not only brings savings but convenience as well…,a new opportunity后面的定语从句就是本题的答案,即电子票不但可以省钱还可以带来方便,因此选项[A] The tour to the parks will be more convenient.为正确答案。
5. The last sentence of this passage is based on the idea that ______.
A.time is money
B.discounting isn't everything
C.e-ticketing attracts more partners
D.it is wise to surf online
A B C D
A
[解析] 推理判断题。本题问最后一句是基于什么思想,最后一句“If you can get in early before the lines fill up,you’re getting more for your money”含义是如果你能够抢先上线的话,你就会省更多的钱,很显然这说明了时间就是金钱的道理。
Task 2 To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention of your audience; you must be a clever speaker, with good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of an actor doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play; they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't understand something, they say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of the audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.
1. The word "gifts" in line 1 means ______.
A.presents
B.cleverness
C.something belongs to a good actor
D.the way a teacher should act in class
A B C D
C
[解析] 语义理解题。本题问一名优秀的教师应该具备什么天赋。文章第一句To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor:…就给出了答案。
2. In what way is a teacher's work different from an actor's?
A.The teacher must 'learn everything by heart.
B.He knows to control his voice better than an actor.
C.He has to deal with unexpected situations.
D.He has to use more facial expressions.
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。本题问教师和演员在哪方面不同。第三段倒数第二句讲道:The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of the audience“因此老师必须调整自己的行为以适应学生的需要”,而选项[C]He has to deal with unexpected situations“他不得不处理一些事先没有预期的情况”,就是该句的同义转述。另外,第二段和第三段都是讲述老师和演员的不同点,从内容上也可以归纳出选项[C]为正确答案。
3. Which of the following is TRUE?
A.A teacher' s voice must be nicer than an actor.
B.A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class.
C.A teacher must have better memory than an actor.
D.A teacher has to learn by heart what exactly he is going to say in class.
A B C D
B
[解析] 根据文章最后一句He cannot learn his part by heart,but must invent it as he goes along“他不能够事先将课上所讲内容完全熟记,而必须随着课程的进展不断补充调整”,可知[B]A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class为正确选项。
4. There are some similarities between teachers and actors except ______.
A.a good, strong and pleasing voice
B.the ability to hold the attention of listeners
C.that you must be a clever speaker
D.the ability to control unexpected situation
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题。本题问除下面哪一点外,其它都是老师和演员的相同点,其实还是问他们的不同点。根据文章第二、三段内容可知[D]the ability to control unexpected situation为本题答案。(参见42题解析)其它选项都是相同点(参照第一段内容)。
5. According to the passage, which is the best title?
A.Teachers and Actors
B.How to Become a Good Teacher
C.A Good Teacher
D.How to Become a Good Actor
A B C D
A
[解析] 主旨大意题。本文通篇讲的都是老师和演员之间的异同,所以不能单独只提老师一方面,故答案[A]Teachers and Actors为最佳标题。

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions: This part, numbered 61 to 65, is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese. Each of the four sentences (No. 61 to No. 64) is followed by four choices of suggested Chinese translation marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Make the best choice and write the correspond in, g letter on the Answer Sheet. Write your translation of the paragraph (No. 65) in the corresponding space on the Translation/Composition Sheet.

A.应该说明,任何在私企上班的人是拿不到固定工资的。
B.应该指出,任何从事个人活动的人是不可能得到固定报酬的。
C.应当明白,任何忙于私活的人都是想得到固定报酬的人,其实这是不可能的。
D.应当指出,谁都不会因为忙于私事而得到固定的报酬。
A B C D
D
[解析] 关键点:对It should be noted结构、名词短语private business、分词短语engaged in...以及被动结构的理解和翻译。It在这里是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的that从句,note在这里意思是“说明、指出”, It should be noted结构应译成“应当指出”;private business在这里是指“私事”,而不是私企;engaged表示“忙于、从事”,做any person的定语;另外注意本句谓语动词是被动结构is paid,翻译时应当注意符合汉语习惯,将被动转换成主动结构,即“得到固定的报酬”。因此,综合上述分析,可知[D]为最佳译文。
2. He made an enormous contribution in improving human life.
A.他在改善人类生活方面作出了巨大贡献。
B.他投了许多关于提高人类生活水平问题的稿件。
C.就改善人类生活水平问题展开了长篇论述。
D.他捐献了巨额财产用以改善人们生活。
A B C D
A
[解析] 关键点:对contribution的理解和翻译。名词contribution在此处的含义是“贡献”,而不是“稿件”和“捐献”;in improving human life表示“在改善人类生活方面”。因此最佳译文为[A]。
3. We'll have to keep our fingers crossed for him. The doctor says his chances of complete recovery are only fifty percent.
4. For two weeks, he had been studying the house, looking at its rooms, its electric wiring and its path.

C.这两个星期以来他一边观察房间的电线和通道,一边进行研究。
D.两周以来,他一直注意观察房子的情况,查看各个房间,留心电线的走向和通道的布局。
A B C D
D
[解析] 对并列结构的把握和翻译。本句中studying the house和looking at its rooms做并列谓语,而its room, its electric wiring和its path并列作look at的宾语,翻译时要注意并列形式的一致,要符合原文的结构。
5. Welcome to buy our books. We have a membership plan, which you can join now only by buying anyone of our books. Membership costs one hundred yuan and lasts for a period o( one year. If you are a member, you can get a discount. It is a really a good deal especially if you intend to buy a lot of books.
[解析] 本文是一则书店的广告,要注意用词简洁和准确。membership是指会员;第二句中包含二个which引导的非限制性定语从句,应该采用分译法,单独译成一句,by表示通过某种方式;membership costs... and lasts...是指会费和会员有效期;a good deal是指一笔好的交易;在此可以转译成动词“划算”。
