A B C
C
[解析] 8-9 The twenty-third Olympic Games, held in Los Angeles, were very much a contest of mind, muscle, and athletic determination. However, high technology, especially in the computer field, played an increasing role in both the staging of the event and the race for the gold. Computers were used to keep track of schedules, accounts, transportation, and ticketing for more than 43,000 Olympic employees and volunteers. A sophisticated electronic message system helped keep the 12,000 or so journalists up-to- date on results--usually within a minute after the judges' decisions were final.

W: Yes, However, since the weather following the eruption was unexpectedly good, some crop yields remained steady or even increased beyond normal expectancy levels. M: I'm glad to hear that. But what was the beneficial effect you mentioned? W: A mass destruction of various insect populations. M: How could the ash kill insects without effecting people too?

7. Let's walk over ______ the sun on the other side of the street.
A.in
B.to
C.under
D.by
A B C D
B
此处sun指的是a place with sunshine即“有阳光的地方”或“太阳照射的地方”。 in the sun意为“在阳光下”，此处用介词in不适合。因为the sun后有on the other side of the street修饰，再根据句中walk over的意思空处只能填to。句意为：咱们到街对面有阳光的地方去吧。

A.have they known, get
B.did you know, were going to get
C.do you know, are going to get

A B C D
D
由答语“for a about a year”得知，主句的谓语动词可用完成时态，又根据题意，“结婚前他们认识多长时间了”可知，后一空应用过去式got。第一空是过去的过去，即过去完成时，故选D。
9. My dictionary ______ , I have looked for it everywhere but still ______ it.

A.expected
B.hoped
C.agreed
D.promised

这是一个含有被动语态的句子，如果我们把它还原成主动语态，句子的答案就非常明显了。此句的主动语态为The teacher ______ the students to hand in the exercises before class。所给的答案只有A和D项才能接不定式作宾补，但D项不符合逻辑，故选A。
11. Shirley ______ a book about China last year but I don't know whether she has finished it.
A.has written

A B C D
D
此题如果只看but以前的部分，那么B和D都对，但是由于下文给我们提供了一个语言环境I don’t know whether she has finished it (or not)，所以只能选D。B项过去时是表示过去的动作，对现在无任何影响。
12. Hello! I ______ you ______ in London. How long have you been here?

第三部分 阅读理解
A Stone Hill Mall has fewer large department stores than most malls, but, instead, features more than 100 small specialty shops, while the few that are not used yet will be filled as soon as the mall's owners find proprietors who fit the mall's image. One thing that makes Stone Hill Mall popular was that all of the stores remain open from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. , Monday through Friday. This favourable start has certainly been advantageous thanks to such features as its being the only shopping centre in the area to provide free baby-sitting for children from two to eight years old and its offering restaurants to suit every pock- et, with the possible exception of the highly budget-conscious. Furthermore, as far as movie en tertainmetn is concerned, Stone Hill Mall tops Westgate Mall, which looked very impressive when it opened last year, with three separate cinemas. Besides, the air-conditioning system makes sure a comfortable inside temperature of 25 degrees centigrade no matter what the weather is like outside, and in addition to its three beautiful fountains, the mall has a quiet garden area with comfortable benches and chairs for shoppers who have become tired. One complaint about Stone Hill Mall is that it is located outside the city, but there is a regular bus service between the mall and the city centre. A further complaint might be that, although the mall is surrounded by trees to mix it with the scenery, it will be some years before these can effectively make the main buildings and the vast parking lot a part of the area around.
1. Stone Hill Mall is different from other mails because it has ______.
A.more large department stores
B.more empty space to rent
C.many shops selling special goods
D.shops selling expensive goods
A B C D
C
2. Stone Hill Mall is popular with shoppers mainly because of its ______.
A.long business hours
B.attractive restaurants
C.children' s stores
D.entertainment facilities
A B C D
A
3. What makes Stone Hill Mall a more favourable shopping place is ______.
A.the prices in the shops
B.the weather in the area
C.the children facilities
D.the conditions inside the mall
A B C D
D
4. It is implied in the passage that the writer takes a (n) ______ attitude towards the mall.
A.critical
B.indifferent
C.fair
D.one-side
A B C D

B Intensive research is yielding important insight into E1 Nino, a periodic warming of tropical waters in the Pacific that can trigger devastating drought and flooding. Scientists are finding that the phenomenon exists in reverse; some call it La Nina. Typically E1 Nino, like the calamitous 1982 - 1983 event that brought misery to places as far apart as Ecuador, Australia, and southern Africa (National Geographic, February 1984), announces itself with strong westerly winds along the Equator, accompanied by a warm current that usually arrives off western South America around Christmas, which led to its name, Spanish for "the Child". Ocean fisheries suddenly collapse, and coastal deserts reel under torrential rains that sweep away villages. Scientists now believe that between E1 Ninos there often are La Ninas: one-or-two-year periods when the surface water of the equatorial Pacific becomes cooler. Experts detected the onset of La Nina in the spring of 1988, leading some to link it to last summers' drought in the United States, flooding in Bangladesh, and the abnormal cold winter in Alaska and western Canada. The early detection of E1 Ninos and La Ninas is an invaluable tool for long-range weather forecasting.

C Insects live in bushes and grass and trees, in fields and houses and in the ground. Some even live on other animals. Did you know that there are more insects in the world than any other kind of animal? They fly and hop and crawl and dig. Some insects, the ants, build hills and cities of their own. Insects called silk worms spin silk. Bees make honey. And crickets(蟋蟀) make music with their feet. Lots of insects grow up in a curious way. When they are little, they look like tiny worms, and most of their lives are spent in just growing. Mosquitoes(蚊子) start this way, and so do beetles(甲虫) and flies, ants and bees. Some caterpillars (毛虫) grow into butterflies. Other wormlike wriggling (蠕动) things become moths (蛾). So all insects do not look the same. Worms in fruit are insects. So are caterpillars and potato beetles, flies and moths. The things that some insects do are helpful to people. They spin silk and make honey and help the flowers to make seeds. Some insects are pests. They bite and sting (叮) and eat our plants and clothes, food and even furniture. Insects are everywhere.
