C.The man wants to know whether he can use his international driver's license in Arizona.
D.The man wants to fill out an application for an Arizona driver's license.
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题考的是会话目的。 [详细解答]先浏览题支，找出其中的区别。然后再认真听对话，依据“well，I am not sure．You see，I have an international driver’s license'’等会话内容，可以看出C为正确答案。
2. What does the man have to do in order to drive legally?
A.Show his student ID and pay ten dollars.
B.Use his international driver's license.
C.Take a driver's test and apply for a limited license.
D.Show proof of temporary residence.
A B C D
C
[解析] 这里考查的是细节。要求听者对局部内容认真把握。 [详细解答]此类题目，要注意会话话题的转换，以及每一个话题，说话者都说了，什么，可以边听边做出选择。依据“then you need to get in Arizona driver’s license”“You need to…,and then you need to…”“you can apply for a limited license”可以看出C是正确的。
3. For how long is a limited license valid?
A.Less than one year.
B.Four years.
C.Five years.
D.Ten years.
A B C D
C
[解析] 这里考查的是细节。要求听者对局部内容认真把握。 [详细解答]此类题目，要注意会话话题的转换，以及每一个话题的具体内容。可以边听边做出选择。依据“it is valid for more than five years"可以选出正确答案。
4. What will the man most probably do next?
A.Fill out an application.
B.Go back to the university to get his ID.
C.Go to see his friend.
D.Take a written exam and an eve exam.
A B C D
B
[解析] 1-4 M: Hello.I ueed to talk with someone about my driver's license. W: Yes. How may I help you? Do you have a driver's license, or do you need to get one? M: Well, I'm not sure. You see, I have an international driver's license. W: Uhuh. And how long will you be staying in the United States? M: Probably four years, until I finish my degree. W: Oh. Then you will need to get in Arizona driver's li cease. M: Do I have to take a driver's test to do that? W: Yes, you do. You need to come in and take a written exam and an eye exam, and than you need to take a road test with a parallel parking test. Did you say that you are a student? M: Yes, I'm a student at the university. I don't have ID with me, but I can go get it. W: Okay. Then you can apply for a limited license. Just come back and show your student ID, and you can make application for a five-year license. M: Great. That's what I want. So I don't have to take the driver's test then. W: Oh, yes you do. The license only costs you ten dollars. A regular license would cost you a lot more than that, but it is valid for more than five years. M: Why can't I just use my international driver's license? W: You could if you were just visiting for less than a year. But as students, you will be temporarily residing in our state. M: Okay. So that's why my friend cad use his international license, he is a tourist. W: Right. [解题思路]这是一道推理题。 [详细解答]这个学生“need to get in Arizona driver's license"而且咨询人员告诉他“You need to…，and then you need to……‘you can apply for a limited license”，但是“I don't have ID with me，but I can go and get it”所以B是正确的。
Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear 10 short conversations. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the question will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you mast read the four choices marked A),B), C) and D) ,and decide which is the best answer.. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
A.The man will arrive at the hotel only fourteen minutes late.
B.The man has a quarter to get to the hotel.
C.The man will certainly miss his business.
D.The woman does not think she will be able to drive quickly.
A B C D
D
[解析] M: Please take me to the Beijing Hotel quickly, or I'll miss the business. W: I don't know, but I'll try. With traffic so heavy it will take at least forty more. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? [试题分析]本题考查推理判断能力。 [关键词语]traffic，heavy，take at least forty more [详细解答]男士说：请赶快带我到北京饭店，不然我要误了那桩生意。女士说：我不知道，但我尽量吧。现在交通如此拥挤，至少还要四十分钟。问题是：我们从对话中了解到什么?A、B项说得太具体，在交通拥挤的情况下是难以准确估计时间的。C项说得过于肯定；不合实情。所以只有D，女士认为不可能开得快。
2.
A.To keep her carpet clean.
B.To protect her carpet.
C.To avoid tripping on the carpet.
D.To keep their feet warm.
A B C D
B
[解析] M: Why do you always ask us to put on slippers when we go into your apartment? W: It saves wear and tear on the carpet. Q: Why does the woman ask them to wear slippers? [试题分析]本题考查理解词语隐含意义的能力。 [关键词语]It saves wear and tear 0n the carpet． [详细解答]从选项看，问题涉及到某一行为的目的。男士问：我们进你的公寓时你为什么要我们穿拖鞋。女士说：免得磨坏和划破地毯。这里难以理解的是女士的话：“It saves weal”and tear on the carpet“通常所记得save的意思是“省，救”，这是难处之一。难处之二是对wear和tear意思的把握，wear除有“穿，戴”的意思外，还有“磨损”的意思；tear除有“撕”的意思外，还有“撕破的口子”的意思。因此选B最合题意。
3.
A.He failed only in physics.
B.He will not pass the exam if he doesn't review his lessons.
C.He's intelligent.
D.Clever people may be victims of their own cleverness.
A B C D
C
[解析] W: Allan had the highest grades in the class on all subjects except physical culture. M: For him it was probably easy. I’ve never seen him review his lessons. Q: What does the man imply about Allan? [试题分析]本题考查对隐含意义的理解。 [关键词语]I’ve never seen him review his lesson． [详细解答]从选项看，话题与某男士聪不聪明，考试成绩好坏有关。女士说：阿伦各门功课成绩都是全班最高的，除了体育课之外。男的说，对他来说，这是很简单的事，我从没有见过他复习功课。从男士的话来看，他认为Allan很聪明，故选C。
4.
A.She was afraid of the professor.
B.She didn't enter her house.
C.She didn't make full preparations for her lessons.
D.She lost her key.
A B C D
C
[解析] M: Ordinarily you never seem to be nervous. But why were you so nervous just now when the professor called on you? W: You know,I didn’t enter my house until I found my key at 11 o' clock last night, so I didn’t have enough time to preview my lessons. Q: Why did the woman feel nervous? [试题分析]本题考查对辨听明示信息的能力。 [关键词语]didn’t have enough time to preview lessons [详细解答]从选项看，话题与女士有关。男士说：一般来说，你很少显得很紧张，怎么刚才教授一点名你就那么紧张?女士说：我昨晚ll点钟才进家门，所以没有足够的时间预习。从女士的话中可以感觉到她准备不充分。故选C最合适。
5.
A.At the call box.
B.At the jewelry store.
C.From a machine.
D.From the purchaser.
A B C D
C
[解析] M: Miss, can you give me change for a dollar so that I can make a phone call at the call box? W: I' m sorry, sir. I' m not allowed to give change without a purchase. If you go across the hall, you' 11 find a change machine in front of the jewelry store. Q: Where does the woman suggest that the man get change? [试题分析]本题考查推理能力。 [关键词语]change machine [详细解答]从选项看，问题涉及到地点。男士请求女士换一美元零钱以便去打电话。女士说：……你可以在珠宝店前的零钱机 (change machine) 去换……。因此，抓住了change machine，就抓住了解题的关键，故选C。
6.
A.In July.
B.In March.
C.In September.
D.In the winter.
A B C D
A
[解析] W: It was said in March that the famous science fiction writer Isaac Asimov’s new book was coming out in July. M: We probably won’t be able to find a library copy until September. Q: When will Asimov’s book be published? [试题分析]本题考查推算能力。 [关键词语]March，July，September [详细解答]从选项看，问题涉及到时间，具体说是某个月份或季节。女士说：三月份听说，著名的科幻小说作家艾萨克·阿斯莫夫的新书将于七月出版。男士说：我们可能要到九月份才能在图书馆见到。可见三月是听说的时间，九月是图书馆见到的时间，winter通常指十二月、一月和二月，这都不是问题问到的出版时间，只有七月(July)才是出版时间，故选A。
7.
A.It has been in her family a long time.
B.Her boyfriend gave it to her.
C.The family doesn't like it.
D.It is a family disgrace.
A B C D
A
[解析] M: Where did you get that rare book? I haven’t seen you read it before. W: It was packed away until last week. It’s a family heirloom. Q: What do we learn about the rare book? [试题分析]本题考查对关键词的理解。 [关键词语]a family heirloom [详细解答]从选项看，话题涉及某件东西。从男士的问话中我们得知是一本rare book(珍本书)，且男士以前从未见过。女士说：上周才拆封，这书是我家的传家宝。传家宝自然就可推出在家里放了很长时间，故选A。其它选项均与会话内容不相符，应予排除。
8.
A.He make it himself.
B.He had a carpenter make it.
C.He bought it a long time ago.
D.He had an old one re-made.
A B C D
B
[解析] W: Did you make your furniture, it’s very elegant. M: I couldn’t have done all this carpentering, I had it made. Q: How did the man get this furniture? [试题分析]本题考查辨听半明示信息的能力。 [关键词语]I had it made [详细解答]从选项看，问题可能是男士如何制出了某物。从男士的回答中可找到答案。他说：我干不了所有的木工活，我是请人做的(I had it made)．因此我们选B，其它项不合会话内容。这里“I had it made’听起来可能不容易反应过来。考试中常出现这类题，要听出话中之话就要格外细心。
9.
A.It was cleaned.
B.It was full of people.
C.The employees burnt it up.
D.There was a robbery.
A B C D
D
[解析] W: Did you hear that the neighborhood convenience store was held up last night? M: Yes, I heard it on the radio this morning. Q: What happened at the convenience store last night? [试题分析]本题考查推理概括的能力。 [关键词语]Neighbourhood convenience store was held up last night [详细解答]从选项看，可能是某处发生了什么。从女士的问话中得知neighborhood convenience store(邻里便民店)出了事。出了什么事一下子难以判断清楚，问题在“was held up'’上。“hold up'’有抢劫的意思。从会话的内容中听不出A、B、C三项所述内容，所以都应排除。D所述内容正好与“was held up'’的意思相符，故选D。
10.
A.Taking a day off from studying.
B.Asking for several days' leave.
C.Finding more students to help with the move.
D.Joining the other students in the department.
A B C D
C
[解析] W: I' m moving to a new apartment. Could you possibly give me a hand? M: Of course. Why not ask around the department and see if some of their students will be free, too? Q: What does the man suggest? [试题分析]本题考查理解言外之意的能力。 [关键词语]Why not．…and see if… [详细解答]从选项看，话题与某人请假或请人干某活有关。从女士的话语中我们得知，她要move to a new apartment，想请男士帮忙。男士表示愿意并建议说：为什么不在系里看看学生是不是也有空。当问及男士作何建议时，我们发现只有C与男士建议的内容相符，故选C。

Passage 1 Questions 25 to 27 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 25-27 What is the best way to learn a language? We should remember that we all learn our own language well when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. It listens to what people say and it tries to imitate what it hears. When it wants something, it has toask for it. It is using the language, talking in it, and thinking it all the time. If people had to use a second language all the time, they would learn it quickly. We learn our own language by hearing people speak it, not by seeing what they write. We imitate what we hear. In school, though you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all the new words through the ear. You can read them, spell them, and write them later. 25. How does a small child learn to say?

Passage 2 Questions 28 to 30 are based on the passage you have just heard:
[解析] 28-30 Living things take from their environment and give back to their environment. In other words, living things and their environment are interdependent. Living things take matter and energy from the environment, and return matter and energy to the environment. For instance, animals feed on plants or on other animals.And they return materials to the environment. This interaction goes on continually. Man also is in active give-and-take relations with his environment. However, there is one way in which man is different. Other living things do not change their environ ment the way man does. Man is not only adapted to the environment. He alters his environment in other complex ways. How it is that man can alter his environment, as no other living thing can? It is because of his brain. With his brain, man learns. Man's brain makes it possible for him to record what he learns. He puts his records in words, in pictures, in sounds. In this way man can pass on what he learns to other men. 28. What’s the relationship between living things and their environment?

Passage 3 Questions 31 to 34 are based on the passage you have just heard:
[解析] 31-34 Many large cities are anything but beautiful. Streets are littered with trash. In this trash, however, there is still something that can be useful. If people want to solve the problem of waste, there is no time to be lost. They must work out ways of making use of good things which are just thrown away as waste. When a car gets too old, it may not run any more. But the metal that the car was made of is still good. It can be put to use again. When a bottle is empty, it goes out in the trash. But bottle glass can be ground into sand and used to pave streets. Garbage from food can be changed into fertilizer. But first you have to fish out all the glass and metal. Garbage can also be a good source for making building blocks, which are then covered with concrete. Now, more and more machines are designed for this purpose. Some day, people will watch films in a magnificent cinema which has been built out of garbage. Future buildings, roads, and cities may be made from garbage. But so far, building beautiful cities out of garbage is only a dream. 31. Which of the following can be an appropriate title for the passage?

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Section A Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B) , C)and D) . You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. It was a cold, rainy and wholly miserable afternoon in Washington, and a hot muggy night in Miami. It was Sunday, and three games were played in the two cities. The people playing them and the people watching them tell us much about the ever-changing ethnic structure of the United States. Professional football in the United States is almost wholly played by native-born American citizens, mostly very large and very strong, many of them black. It is a game of physical strength. Linemen routinely weigh more than 300 pounds. Players are valued for their weight and muscles, for how fast they can run, and how hard they can hit each other. Football draws the biggest crowds, but the teams play only once a week, because they get so battered. The 67,204 fans were in Miami for the final game of the baseball World Series. Baseball was once America's favourite game, but has lost that claim to basketball. Baseball is a game that requires strength, but not hugeness. Agility, quickness, perfect vision and quick reaction are more important than pure strength. Baseball was once a purely American game, but has spread around much of the New World. In that Sunday's final, the final hit of the extra inning game was delivered by a native of Columbia. The Most Valuable Player in the game was a native of Cuba. The rosters of both teams were awash with Hispanic names, as is Miami. which now claims the World Championship is a game that may be losing popularity in America, but has gained it in much of the rest of the world. Baseball in America has taken on a strong Hispanic flavor, with a dash of Japanese added for seasoning. Soccer, which many countries just call football, is the most widely enjoyed sport in the world, In soccer, which many countries just call football, the ethnic tide has been the reverse of baseball's. Until recently, professional soccer in the United States have largely been an import, played by South Americans and Europeans. Now, American citizens in large numbers are finally taking up the most popular game in the world. Basketball, an American invention increasingly played around the world, these days draws large crowds back home. Likewise, hockey, a game largely imported to the United States from neighbouring Canada. Lacrosse, a version of which was played by Native Americans before the Europeans arrived, is also gaining a keen national following. Sports of all kinds are winning support from American armchair enthusiasts from a variety of ethnic backgrounds.
1. Which of the following can reflect the ever-changing ethnic structure of America?
A.Sportsman.
B.Audience.
C.Both of them.
D.None of them.
A B C D
C
[解析] 什么能反映美国总在不断变化的种族结构? [试题分析]本题是一道关于文章细节的题目。 [详细解答]仔细阅读后不难发现选择C项“运动员和观众”作为正确答案的依据就在文章第一段最后一句话：The people playing them and the people watching them tell us much about the ever-changing ethnic。structure of the United States．(运动员们和观众们都能使我们了解很多有关美国总在不断变化的种族结构)。A项和B项不全面，而D项不正确，故均被排除。
2. Who play professional football in the United States?
A.Native-born American citizens.
B.Europeans.
C.South Americans.
D.Both B and C.
A B C D
A
[解析] 在美国谁从事美式职业足球? [试题分析]本题测试的是对文章细节部分进行辨别理解的能力。 [详细解答]请注意在文章中professional football和soccer之间的区别。前者所说者的区别，我们就不难找出本题答案的依据在第二段第一句话：Professional toot．ball in the United States is almost wholly played by native-born American citizens，mostly very large and very strong，many of them black．(从事美式职业足球运动员几乎都是土生土长的美国人，通常身高体壮，多数为黑人)。B项欧洲人和C项南美人踢的则是职业英式足球，因此B项、C项和D项均不正确，A项“土生土长的美国人”为正确答案。
3. What is America's favourite game?
A.Baseball.
B.Basketball.
C.Professional football.
D.Soccer.
A B C D
B
[解析] 什么是美国最受欢迎的运动项目? [试题分析]本题测试的是对文章句意的理解。 [详细解答]A项棒球具有很强的干扰性，因为棒球曾是美国最受欢迎的运动项目。但是文章第三段第二句话清楚说明了Baseball was once America’s favourite game．but has lost that claim to basketball．(棒球曾是美国最受欢迎的运动项目，但现已让位于篮球。)C项未提及，D项英式足球是世界上最受欢迎的体育项目，而非美国人，因此B项“篮球”是 正确答案。
4. Which of the following statements about soccer is true?

[解析] 下列关于英式足球的叙述正确的是哪一项? [试题分析]本题是道判断正误的题目。 [详细解答]A项在英式足球和篮球中种族的变化趋势不同，这与文章第五段中所述In soccer，…，the ethnic tide has been the reverse of baseball’s．(在英式足球中,……，种族的变化趋势与棒球截然相反。)不相符，故A项不正确。在同一段介绍：Until recently，professional soccer in the United States had largely been an import，played by South Americans and Europeans．(直到最近，美国的职业英式足球队员大部分来自国外，由南美人和欧洲人来踢)。这说明土生土长的美国人踢足球的并不多，B项不正确。 大量的美国人开始从事英式足球的运动是如今的事，因此C项的陈述不准确，而只有D项“尽管英式足球是世界上最受欢迎的运动，但是很多美国人并不第一喜欢它”与原文相符。
5. The author of the passage wants to tell that _______.
A.Americans like sports and sports reveal much about the changing ethnic structure of the United States

It may be the last book you'll ever buy. And certainly, from a practical standpoint, it will be the only book you'll ever need. No. It's not the Bible or some New Age tome promising enlightenment－although it would let you carry around both texts simultaneously. It' s an electronic book－a single volume that could contain a library of information or, if your tastes run toward what's current, every title on today's best-seller list. And when you're done with those, you could refill it with new titles. Why an electronic book? Computers can store a ton of data and their laptop companions make all that information portable. True enough. But laptops(便携式电脑) and similar portable information devices require a lot of power－and heavy batteries－to keep their LCD screens operating. And LCDs are not easy to read in the bright light of the sun. Fact is, when it comes to portability, easy viewing, and low power requirements, it's hard to beat plain old paper. So let's make the ink electronic. That's the deceptively simple premise behind a project currently coming to fruition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Some hurdles－mostly having to do with large－scale manufacturing-remain, so it will be a few years before you see an electronic book for sale in stores. But the basic technology already exists, developed at the Institute's Media Lab by a team led by physicist Joe Jacobson. Thanks to electronic ink, the book essentially typesets itself, receiving instructions for each page via electronics housed in the spine. From a power standpoint, this process makes the electronic book very efficient. Unlike an LCD screen, which uses power all the time, energy is no longer needed to view the electronic book's pages once they are typeset. Only a small battery would be required, as opposed to the large ones needed to power laptop computers and their LCDs. Convenience, though, is still the main attraction－and that means more than simple portability. Because the information is in electronic form, it can be easily manipulated. Jacobson thinks an electronic book will be affordable－around $ 200 for a basic read-only model to about $ 400 for one that would record your margin scribbles. Some hurdles remain, though, before you can take an electronic book with you anywhere. Paper is produced in long sheets, and Jacobson is still working on the best method to integrate electronic ink into that process. To avoid having to use thousands of tiny wires on each page, the ink itself must be conductive. Such ink was recently demonstrated in the lab but has yet to be produced in volume. "Essentially," notes Jacobson, "We're trying to print chips." Jacobson is confident, however, that this can be done on a large scale. If Jacobson succeeds, he will have made the book for the 21st century.
6. According to the passage, which book is the only book you'll ever need?
A.The Bible.
B.A single volume.
C.New Age tome.
D.An electronic book.

[解析] 电子书和液晶显示屏的主要区别是什么? [试题分析]本题测试的是文章的细节部分。 [详细解答]电子书和液晶显示屏在文章的第六段给予了详细说明：Unlike an LCD screen，which uses power all the time．energy is on longer needed to view the electronic book’s pages once they are typeset．(它和液晶显示屏不一样，液晶显示屏时时都离不开电源，而电子书一旦排好字，观看时再也不需要能量)。B项、C项和D项三项中涉及到的便携性、方便性及内容在文章中作者都未作对比，因此排除之而选A项“他们需要的电源不同”。
10. It will be a few years before we can see electronic book for sale because ______.
A.we haven't mastered the manufacturing technology yet

[解析] 电子书还得再过几年才有销售的原因是能导电的电子油墨不能大规模生产。 [试题分析]本题是道细节分析题。 [详细解答]本题所问的电子书还得再过几年才有销售的原因在文章第五段中就已提及：Some hurdles——mostly having to do with large-scale manufacturing—remain, so it will be a few years before you see an electronic book for sale in stores．(有些难题——多数和大规模生产有关——仍然没有得到解决，所以还得再过几年你才能看到电子书在书店出售)。文章第八段将所提及的难题具体化了：such ink was recently demonstrated in the lab but has yet to be produced in volume．(这种油墨近来已在实验室演示过，但还不能大批量生产)。这里所提油墨即为上句所说的能导电的电子油墨，由此可判断出B项为最佳选项。A项和C项所说与文章内容不相符，而D项虽与文章内容相符，但并非是原因，因此舍弃。
The centenary of the birth of William Faulkner, one of the great modern novelists, was celebrated in September, 1997. Faulkner wrote about the southern states of the United States of America where he grew up, and where his family had an important part to play in the history of that region. His work became a touchstone for insights into the troubled issues of southern American identity, race relations, and the family interrelationships of the old-time southern gentry. Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi on September 25, 1897. Despite his interest in writing, he left Oxford High School, Mississippi, without graduating. After World War I , he entered the University of Mississippi as a special student, a right to study which was granted to war veterans, although Faulkner had only finished training with the Air Force in Canada, and not entered combat. Faulkner began to write poems, a verse play, short stories and finished his first novel Sartoris in 1928. His fiction was centred for 14 of the 19 novels published during his lifetime in a fictional region called Yoknapatawpha County. The name is said to stem from the Indian Chickasaw word meaning split land. In December 1950, Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. When he accepted it in Stockholm, his speech emphasized that he wished to continue writing, but in a positive way that affirmed the power of humanity to prevail over adverse circumstances. As he said in his speech, he still felt that, despite the threat of nuclear war then hanging over the world, the central concern of the writer should be "the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself". He wanted the tensionsand problems that he had cast the spotlight on in the southern states of America to be resolved by the life-affirming attitudes and action of his characters. Like playwright Tennessee Williams, Faulkner was a major voice who spoke for the troubled heart of the southern states of America. His achievement is all the more remarkable because, as a schoolboy, he was not only a frequent truant but also reportedly failed to reach pass grades in English class. His collected short stories, novels, poems, allegorical stories and other writings form a legacy of literature which casts profound illumination on the special culture of the South, a culture which developed from a history and social circumstances that were often tumultuous and always unique. From the focus on a fictional county, and by remaining true to his view of a close-knit but authentic society that reflected the greater world around him, Faulkner in the end fashioned a saga of the Deep South that is one of the major achievements of 20th-century literature.
11. Which of the following statements about William Faulkner is NOT true?
A.William Faulkner's work focuses on several troubled problems of southern America.
B.William Faulkner died one hundred years ago.
C.Although William Faulkner could not graduate from high school, he had great interests in writing.
D.William Faulkner once took part in the army when he was young.

[解析] 关于威廉·福克纳不正确的叙述是哪一项? [试题分析]本题是道细节辨别题。 [详细解答]A项威廉·福克纳的作品集中于美国南方的几个困惑问题，这与文章第一段：His work became a touchstone for insights into the troubled issues of southern American identify，race relations，and the family interrelationships of the oldtime southern gentry．(他的作品成为一种洞察美国南方的特性、种族关系以及南方古老贵族世家的家庭关系等困惑问题的标准。)相一致。文章第二段：Despite his interest in writing,he left Oxford High School，Missis sippi，without graduating．(尽管他对写作颇感兴趣，但还是未毕业就从密西西比州牛津镇中学退了学。)和…although Faulkner had only finished training with the Air Force in Canada,and not entered conbat．(……虽然福克纳在参加加拿大空军后仅仅完成了训练任务，并没有参加过战斗。) 证明了C项和 D项表述的正确性。B项说福克纳死于100年前，与文章第一句话1997年9月世人举行庆祝活动．纪念杰出的现代小说家之一，威廉·福克纳的100周年诞辰不相符，故为本题答案。
12. Why did William Faulkner write about the southern states of America?
A.They were the place where he grew up and his family took an important role in the history of that region.
B.His work became a touchstone.
C.He cared about the troubled issues of southern America.
D.He felt sympathy for the poor in southern America.

[解析] 为什么威廉·福克纳撰写有关美国南方各州的文章? [试题分析]本题测试的是对文章细节部分的理解和辨别。 [详细解答]文章第一段中清楚阐明：Faulkner wrote about the southern states of the United States of America where he grew up，and where his family had all important part to play in the history ofthat region．(福克纳写的都是美国南方各州的事情．因为他在那儿长大成人，他的家族在那个地区的历史上起过重要作用)。B项他的作品成为一种标准，虽是正确表述，但非本题的回答；C项他关心美国南方的困惑问题与原文的表述有差异,而D项他同情美国南方的穷人，无法在文章中找到依据。因此A项“他在那儿生长，他的家族在那个地区的历史起过重要作用”为最佳选项。
13. How many novels have been published during the lifetime of William Faulkner?
A.14.
B.100.
C.19.
D.Not be mentioned.
A B C D

[解析] 威廉·福克纳一生发表了多少篇小说? [试题分析]本题是道细节题。 [详细解答]回答本题问的福克纳一生中发表了多少小说，只要弄清楚文章第三段中的一句话即可：His fiction is centred for 14 of the 19 novels published during his lifetime in a fictional region called Yoknapatawpha County．(福克纳一生中发表的19部作品中的14部都是围绕着一个叫Yoknapatawpha县的虚构的地方而创作的)。由此可知14是围绕Yoknapatawpha县创作的小说的数量，而100是文章提及的福克纳诞辰100周年，因此B项是正确答案。
14. Which of the following statements about Tennessee William is true?
A.Both Tennessee William and William Faulkner are playwright.
B.Tennessee William was a major voice who spoke for the troubled people in southern America.
C.Like Faulkner, he once won Nobel Prize for Literature.
D.Tennessee William had to pursue his writing career through difficult times.

[解析] 下列关于田纳西的叙述正确的是哪一项? [试题分析]本题测试的是对文章句意的理解。 [详细解答]本文主要介绍的是威廉·福克纳，提到田纳西·威廉的只有第五段第一句话：Like playwright Tennessee Williams，Faulkner was a major voice who spoke for the trouble heart of the southern states of America．(同剧作家田纳西-威廉一样，福克纳是美国南方各州苦恼不安的心灵的代言人)。由此可判断出B项是正确的。虽然福克纳写过诗剧，但他不是戏剧家，因此A项不正确。C项像福克纳一样，他曾获得诺贝尔文学奖和D项田纳西·威廉笔耕不辍，历经艰辛，这两项在文章中都未提及，因此不能作为正确选项。
15. What was William Faulkner's attitude toward the troubled issues of southern America?
A.He reflected them by writing and criticized them.
B.He intended to call on the troubled people to rebel.
C.The troubled issues of southern America just provided many elements for his novels.
D.He advocated to resolve them in positive attitudes and actions.
A B C D

[解析] 威廉·福克纳对美国南方困惑的问题的态度是什么? [试题分析]本题测试的是对观点的推测。 [详细解答]本题问的是威廉·福克纳对待美国南方困惑问题的态度。文章中并未直接陈述，但他在斯德哥尔摩接受诺贝尔文学奖时发表的演说中强调：he wished to continue writing，but in a positive way that affirmed the power of humanity to prevail over adverse circumstances．(他希望自己能继续写作，但是要以一种积极的方式证实人道的力量必能战胜逆境)。同时本段最后还提到：He wanted the tensions and problems that he had cast the spotlight on in the southern states of America to be resolved by the life-affirming attitudes and actions in his characters．(对于那些他在作品中曾经引起公众注意的美国南方诸州的紧张形势和棘手问题，他要求用他书中人物的积极人生态度和行动加以解决)。由此可推断出D项“他主张用积极的态度和行动来解决．”为最佳答案，而A项、B项和C项均不适合.
Section B Directions: In this section there are four passages with a total of four multiple-choice questions. Skim or scan them as required and then mark your answer on your answer sheet.
Passage 1
1. What are the best places to live in if you want to be slim? According to the study by Men's Fitness magazine, try sunny, seaside San Diego, which topped the magazine's list of "fittest" cities in U. S. A... Stay away from Huston, which, with its polluted air, proliferation of bars and liquor stores, ranked as the "fattest" city. In its annual study, the magazine takes into account a range of issues that make up how healthy it is to live in a city, from air and water quality to the number of fast food joints per person. While the actual percentage of overweight people living in a city is also considered, the study focuses more on opportunities available for people who want to get fit. Because the study emphasized factors like recreation areas and climate, it seems only natural that San Francisco and Honolulu tied for second most "fit" cities after San Diego, while chilly Detroit and Philadelphia were the second and third "fattest" cities on the magazine's list.The author writes the passage to give the reader a kind of _____________.
1. The principal of Scotland's St. Andrews University has warned students that they could be expelled if they leak stories about Prince William to the media. William is due to begin a four-year degree in art history at the Scottish university in October.

part Ⅲ The Use of English
Section A Directions: This part consists of a short passage. In this passage there are altogether 10 mistakes, one in each numbered line. You may have to change a word, add a word or delete a word. Mark out the mistakes and put the corrections in the blanks provided. If you change a word, cross it out and write the correct word in the corresponding blank. If you add a word, put an insertion mark(∧)in the right place and write the missing word in the blank, if you delete a word, cross it out and put a slash(/)in the blank. The above experiment shows that not all the information which is received can be retained for even a second. The information is taken in all right, and 54.______ immediately thereafter, most of it is lost and can not be recalled. Only a small part can be retained for future use. Now this immediate -forgetting is not an isolated phenomenon occurs only in the psychological 55.______ laboratory. It is, rather, the fate of most of the information which human beings are constantly receiving. Information is taken in, and the bulk of it vanishes within a second and so. On the whole, this 56.______ immediate－forgetting is advantageous. Most of the information taking in during the daily round is of 57.______ momentary value only. It serves to keep us abreast of the ever－changing relationships among 58.______ ourselves and our environment and, this service rendered, its further retention would merely obstruct the ongoing flow of our activities. It is necessary 59.______ to retain every minute detail of immediately past circumstances; and indeed, if we did retain these details this would deprive us freedom to consider the 60.______ detailed requirements of the present moment. In all of life's activities, we take in, from one moment to the next, a great deal of information which value is 61.______ restricted to the moment of its intake. So it is altogether an economy such information be forgotten 62.______ immediately. It is an economy that is selected for 63.______ more lasting retention be only those minimal outstanding characteristics likely to be of future value.
1.
and改为but。
[解析] 本题为连词误用。 [详细解答]我们可以看出这个句子的前半部分和后半部分应是转折关系。The information is taken in all right，but immediately thereafter，most of it is lost and can not be recalled．信息被很好地接受，但很快大部分信息被丢失而且无法回忆起。因此，这里应用表示转折关系的连词but。
2.
occurs前加which。
[解析] 本题为缺用关系代词的错误。 [详细解答]如果仔细分析一下句子：Now this immediate—forgetting is not an isolated phenomenon occurs only in the psychological laboratory．可发现其实这是 一个赘句，this immediate—forgetting is not an isolated phenomenon已是完整的句子，occur在句中不能充当任何成份。只有加了关系代词which之后才使得occurs…作phenomenon的定语从句。
[解析] 本题考查考生对关系代词的掌握。 [详细解答]仔细分析该句后，我们可发现is select．ed for more lasting retention缺主语，而代词what可充当主语。
Section B When they advise your kids to "get an education" if you want to raise your income, they[没有全部说对] (S1). [他们的真正意思是] (S2) to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not too much that you prove an embarrassment to your society. Get a high school diploma, at least. [不那样] (S3), you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison and you can successfully[退学] (S4) in a grade school. Get a college degree, if possible. With a B.A., you are on the launching pad .But now you have to start to put on the brakes. [你想获取硕士学位的话] (S5), make sure it is an M.B.A. , and only from a first－rate university. Beyond this, the famous law of diminishing returns begins to take effect. Do you know, [例如] (S6), that long－haul truck drivers earn more a year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24,000, while the full professors managed to average just $ 23,930. A Ph.D. [是你能得到的最高学位] (S7), but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, you are facing a dim future. [目前在这个国家失业或待业的博士比世界上任何一个地方都多](S8). If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or－－worst of all－－in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, [而是出于我们的需求] (S9). Thousands of Ph.D. s. are selling shoes, driving cabs, waiting on tables and filling out fruitless applications month after month. And then maybe taking a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns. You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, [即](S10), to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.
There are more Ph．D．s unemployed or underemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far
[解析] 语序调整 [详细解答]对于时间状语“目前”和“这个国家”与定语“失业或待业的”的位置，在翻译成英语时依照英文习惯做出了调整．by far放在句末，in this country放在than之前的分句的最后，而将定语un．employed or underemployed放在Ph．D．s后做后置定语。
Part Ⅳ Writing Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition of no less than 150 words on Why I Came to College. Your composition should be based on the outline (given in Chinese) below:
1. 1．我为什么选择读大学 2．现在读大学是否值得 3．结论
写作指导
现在社会中流行着这样一种讨论：是先创业后读书，还是先读书后创业，并且各有理由。这篇文章就要求考生说明自己为什么选择读大学。根据提纲，全文可分为三段，三段式作文是六级考试写作常用的一种行文方式。往往第一段是介绍段．介绍所讨论话题的一般情况，第二段是主体段，可用摆事实，举例子的方法阐述作者对这一话题所持的观点，文章第三段自然而然地得出结论或者是解决问题的方法。这篇文章也不例外，首先第一段引出为什么选择读大学的讨论；第二段主体部分阐述了选择读大学的几个理由。如：最主要的原因是想获得更多的知识(I enjoy learning and gaining knowledge)，其次，读大学能开阔视野，能接受新观点也是一个很重要的理由，当然最实际的理由莫过于读大学能给自己将来择业提供保障。最后很自然地得出结论，为了实现自己的理想，应当珍惜在大学的学习时光。
Why have I Chosen to College?
A question I have put to myself many times in the past two academic years．But the answer is always the same: college education is something I truly want to do in my life and it is worthwhile. There are many reasons for my choosing to at-tend college. The main one is that I enjoy learning and gaining knowledge, I remember that as my high school education was drawing to a close, my desire for continuing to learn felt increasingly strong, and the decision was naturally made when I realized I would not he content to simply end my educational career with high school and enter the working world so soon. I decided to enter college not only because it is a place where I can continue to seek scientific truths, but also it is a place where I can be exposed to various new, original ideas. It helps to expand my horizons and make me a well-rounded person. Of course I must admit that I chose to attend college also because I felt it was a practical and necessary step I took to ensure a secure future for myself. For in today's world, a college education has become almost essential if one wishes to compete in the job market and to find a worthwhile position. For these reasons, I never mind spending beautiful nights on paperwork; I never consider myself miserable and unfairly burdened; and I never think college education is a waste of time and money.
