A.that
B.one

[解析] 句意：这所小型学校的教育质量要好于一些大型学校。词义辨析题。it和this不用于这种比较级结构中；one只能指代单数名词，其前须带有一个限定或修饰词，指同类不同个(另一个同类物品)；that可替代不可数名词，后常伴随着后置修饰语。句中代词指代不可数名词the quality of education，故用代词that。
30. ______ I'm mistaken, I've seen that man before.

Section A Directions:There are four passages in this section. Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1 The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do. A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Crapo drew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality(活力) and longevity(寿命).
1. The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because ______.
A.wrong decisions could lead to poor health
B.it helps raise the level of our medical knowledge
C.it is essential to personal freedom in American society
D.personal health choices help cure most illnesses
A B C D
A
[解析] 推理判断题。从第一段内容“The concept of personal choice...An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge.”可知，正确选择健康行为的观念是非常重要的，如果做出适当的选择，百分之九十的疾病是可以预防的，即“错误的选择可能会导致身体不适”。故选A。
2. To "live a completely sedentary life-style" (Para. 2) in the passage means ______.
A.to "live a decent life"
B.to "live an inactive life"
C.to "live a life of vice"
D.to "live a life with complete freedom"
A B C D
B
[解析] 词语理解题。从第二段第三句“...and live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise.”中的“without any exercise”可以看出，sedentary life-style与其同义，故“live a completely sedentary life-style”的意思为“live an inactive life”。故选B。
3. Sound personal health choice is often difficult to make because ______.
A.few people are willing to trade the quality of life for the quantity of life
B.people are usually influenced by the behavior of their friends
C.current medical knowledge is still insufficient
D.there are many factors influencing our decisions
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题。文章最后一段第一句“A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual.”说明了影响人类选择健康行为方式的因素非常多。故D为正确答案。
4. To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by Fries and Crapo to ______.
A.deliberately ending one's life
B.improving the quality of one's life
C.limiting one's personal health choice
D.breaking the rules of social behavior
A B C D
A
[解析] 事实细节题。最后一段倒数第二句“They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide.”指出，明知某一行为从统计方面上看有缩短寿命的可能，却还沉溺其中，这就等同于自杀。attempting suicide与deliberately ending one's life同义，故选A。
5. According to Fries and Crapo sound health choices should be based on ______.
A.personal decisions
B.statistical evidence
C.friends' opinions
D.society's laws
A B C D
B
[解析] 事实细节题。根据最后一段最后一句“...personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity.”可知，人们应该去选择那些据统计可以增强活力、延长寿命的行为方式。故选B。
Passage 2 When should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the complexities of reading letters to form words. If a three-year-old child wants to read (or even a two-year-old child for that matter), the child has the right to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be "bored" when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teacher's affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material. Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic (having difficulty in reading). Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life), there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling various items in their rooms. For instance, tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat, big letters. Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an attraction should not be ignored. But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, or his interest should start to flag.
1. This passage is mainly about ______.
A.what qualities people teaching children reading should have
B.different age groupings of children to be taught reading
C.when and how children should be taught reading
D.various problems of children who start learning to read
4. The purpose of labeling items in the room is to ______.
A.make it more colorful
B.teach children to write neatly
C.help children recognize simple letters
D.force children to develop the habit of reading
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。从文章第四段第一句“...there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling various items in their rooms.”可知，将房间内的物品贴上标签，有利于帮助孩子们认识较简单的字。故选C。
5. The writer suggests that ______.
A.children should ask their parents to teach them to read
B.children should not feel bored if given advanced reading material
C.children starting to read should ask specialists for help
D.children should be taught with patience, care and a sense of humor
Passage 3 A major incentive (动力) for college attendance is the belief that it will prepare you for a career. Chances are that the career you want, whether in nursing, counseling, law, or management, requires a college education. Even if the return of your education isn't as great as it used to be, you would probably rather be a relatively poorly paid lawyer than a secretary or a construction worker; you would probably rather be a manager than a subordinate. In the sense that a degree is increasingly required for even middle-level jobs, your investment in a college education will still pay off. It can pay off in other ways too. It is a value judgement to say that a college education will make you a better person, but it is a value judgement that the vast majority of college graduates are willing to make survey after survey to demonstrate that people feel very positive about their college education, believing that it has made them better and more tolerant people. Whether it makes you a better person or not, a college education is likely to have a lasting effect on your knowledge and values. If you finish college, you will sit through 30 to 45 different courses. Even the least dedicated student is bound to learn something from these courses. In addition, students learn informally. Whether you go to college in your hometown or across the country, college will introduce you to a greater diversity of people than you're likely to have experienced before. This diversity will challenge your mind and broaden your horizons. As a result of formal and informal learning, college graduates are more knowledgeable about the world around them, more tolerant and less prejudiced, more active in public and community affairs, and, more open to new ideas.
1. It is apparent from the passage that people go to college mainly because they believe ______.
A.a college education will provide them with a guarantee of success in life
B.the economy of their country can't absorb an army of untrained youngsters
C.a college education will make them better qualified for a career
D.the investment in a college education can bring a higher economic return than before
5. This passage is primarily concerned with ______.
A.the change of people's attitude toward their college education
B.the benefits of a college education
C.the result of formal and informal learning
D.the intercommunication among college students
A B C D
B
[解析] 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述的是大学教育的正面影响。故选B。
Passage 4 Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this. Some are obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do in their own languages is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce them, and consequently never set about speaking them in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught, the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lessons to this, and his whole attitude to the subject should make the students feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving their close attention.
1. Teaching pronunciation ______.
A.should always be taken into first consideration
B.can never be treated as a main course
C.may not be so important as someone thinks
D.is often neglected in teachers' practice
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题。由文章倒数第二句“I think even teachers of language...tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language.”可知，D项正确。
2. The teacher's attitude to the subject can ______.
A.change the students' devotion to the teacher himself
B.influence the students' attention to it
C.receive students' attention to his pronunciation
D.reduce students' interest in language
A B C D
B
[解析] 推理判断题。由文章最后一句“...and his whole attitude to the subject should make the students feel that...their close attention.”可推知，老师对英语语音课的态度直接影响了学生对此的关注度。
3. According to the author, ______ good proficiency at pronouncing foreign languages.
A.many people fail to achieve
B.many students can attain
C.most teachers ignore
D.most teachers have
A B C D
A
[解析] 事实细节题。由文章第二句“...but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages.”可知，A项正确。
4. That most students can't pronounce a foreign language properly is because ______.
A.they like to learn grammar rather than pronunciation
B.teachers think pronunciation is not important
C.teachers can not find effective ways to teach pronunciation
D.they lack careful training in pronunciation
A B C D
D
[解析] 推理判断题。由文章第六句“Far too many people fail to...that needs careful training of a special kind...”可推知，很多学生不能学好外语发音是因为缺乏训练。故D项符合题意。

Section B Directions:The following is a business letter. After reading the passage, you are required to complete each of the five statements within three words. The answers should be written on the Answer Sheet. Dear Sirs, Today we have received your bill for 150 name-bearing(刻有名字的) crystal vases which you sent us on the other day. We had ordered these vases on condition that they should reach us by the end of June. But they arrived here 15 days behind the schedule. The customers refused to accept the goods because they arrived too late. Since the vases bear their names, we cannot sell them to other customers. So we asked the customers again and again to take the vases, and finally they agreed to accept them, but at a price cut of 30%. You may understand how we have lost the customer's confidence in us. In this situation, we have to ask you to compensate for the loss we have suffered. We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully, G. Pastry

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions:You are required to read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. Readers also use many other skills besides anticipating. 1 Rapid reading for example, is an important skill. It is especially important for students to learn to read quickly and with understanding. 2 There is another part of the skill of fast reading. It is choosing the right speed. 3 A person might want to read a newspaper fast. He or she is reading only for general information and can slow down anytime. However, the introduction to a textbook will need more attention and more careful reading. 4 Being able to change the reading speed is therefore, necessary. 5 Skimming, scanning(扫视), and surveying(检视) are all kinds of rapid reading. They have different purposes. Skimming and scanning are reading very fast while looking for a piece of information. For example, you might read for a particular name or a date in history lesson. Surveying, also fast reading, is reading to understand the structure of an article, how it is "built". 6 By surveying, readers know the order or sequence of parts.
