Part Ⅰ Vocabulary and Structure Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
1. Polar explorers have to be extremely ______ to endure the climate and other hardships of various kinds.
[解析] 句意：彼得和他的朋友们都喜欢听音乐。主谓一致。当主语是由as well as, with, together with, like, but, except等连接的并列主语时，谓语动词应与前面的主语在人称和数上保持一致。本句主语Peter是单数，所以谓语动词应用单数。注意listen to music为固定搭配，意为“听音乐”。故选B。
[解析] 句意：要是没有你的帮助，我们不可能取得如此大的成绩。虚拟语气。当without引导含蓄条件句时，相当于“if it weren't/if it hadn't been for...”，主句要用虚拟语气。类似的词还有but for。本句表示与过去事实相反的假设，所以谓语动词应该用“would have+动词过去分词”的形式。故选D。
30. He was asked ______ time to hand in his dictation.
A.the second
B.a first
C.the first
D.a second
A B C D
D
[解析] 句意：他再一次被要求上交他的听写练习。词语搭配。表示“又一次，再一次”时要用“不定冠词+序数词”的形式，表泛指意义，如“第二次”应用“a second time”表示。但“第一次”用“the first time”的形式，表示特指的意义。根据句意可知，此处表达的是“又一次，再一次”的意思，且并无特指，故选D。

Passage 1 To preserve food, the growth of bacteria(细菌) must be controlled. Water, warmth, and food are all needed for bacteria to become strong and healthy. Some kinds of bacteria need air, but other kinds grow only when air is absent. Extremes of temperature, either hot or cold, can kill bacteria. Before electric ice-boxes were invented, freezing and cooling were limited by the cold climate. In warmer regions, food was cooled by putting it in the shade, in cold water from the well, or in pits (坑) in the ground. Cooking will usually kill bacteria if the temperature is high enough and the high temperature lasts long enough. Certain methods of cooking remove water, and this aids in preserving food. Drying is the oldest and most common method of preserving food. Food can be dried by the sun, by heat or by combination of the two. Salt was used by many hunting people. When people began to eat vegetables, salt became a needed part of their life. Salt helps to preserve food because it slows or stops bacteria to grow. Other chemicals besides salt are used in preserving food. Some people oppose the use of chemicals in food. They say that these chemicals may harm people if the chemicals can harm bacteria.
1. How can we preserve food according to the first paragraph?
A.By controlling the temperature.
B.By putting food in a refrigerator.
C.By controlling the growth of bacteria.
D.By putting food in a place without air.
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章第一段首句可知，要想保存食物，必须控制细菌的生长，所以C为正确答案。
2. Cooking is an effective way in preserving food because ______.
[解析] 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第三、四句“...Other chemicals besides salt are used in preserving food.”可知，除了食盐之外，还有其他的化学物质被用来保存食物。注意，besides为“除……之外，还有”之意，故可推出，腌制法包含了化学物质(即食盐)的使用。故选B。
4. Why are many people against the use of chemicals to preserve food?
A.Because chemicals are not necessary for preserving food.
B.Because a small quantity of bacteria in food is good for the body.
C.Because those chemicals that kill bacteria may not be good for people.
D.Because there are other better ways to preserve food.
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章最后一段最后两句可知，人们反对使用化学物质来保存食物的原因是“these chemicals may harm people if...”，C项是其同义转述。故选C。
Passage 2 Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead." Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt—a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why. There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are two of the most common. Myth Number One: Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water. Truth: Sorry, but studies show that people knocked unconscious due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them. Myth Number Two: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph). Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.
1. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead"?
Passage 3 Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes(撞毁). Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons (人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are faster than they really are. and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C. is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year, the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal (致命) traffic accidents, according to the Foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the Foundation will carry its tests in areas where speed-related hazards(危险) are the greatest—curves(弯), exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars (水平障碍物) painted across roads can initially(最初) cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars. Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are, but also make a lane(车道) appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.
2. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that ______.
A.they should avoid speed-related hazards
B.they are driving in the wrong lane
C.they should slow down their speed
D.they are coming near to the speed limit
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。由第一段最后一句“Bent stripes, called chevrons, painted on the roads make drivers think that they are faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.”可知，人字形线使司机产生自己驾驶速度过快的错觉，从而降低车速，所以C项正确。
3. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former ______.
A.can keep drivers awake
B.can cut road accidents in half
C.will look more attractive
D.will have a longer effect on drivers
A B C D
D
[解析] 推理判断题。由最后两段对比可知，人字形线比直线、水平线对控制车速有更长久的影响。故选D。
4. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ______.
A.try out the Japanese method in certain areas
B.change the road signs across the country
C.replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons
D.repeat the Japanese road patterns
A B C D
A
[解析] 事实细节题。由文章第二段第二句“...the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country...”可知，他们将在精心挑选的几条路上试验日本的模式。故选A。
5. What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?
A.They are suitable only on broad roads.
B.They are falling out of use in the United States.
C.They are ignored in a long period of time.
D.They cannot be used successfully to traffic circles.
A B C D
C
[解析] 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.”可知，随着驾驶员对这些线越来越熟悉，交通很快又会返回全速的状态。由此可推知，这种控制并不能够长期维持。故选C。
Passage 4 Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict(迷)," he jokes, "I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皱的)." Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable." More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday". "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing," said business adviser Maisly Jones. Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code." Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said, "For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes."
1. David Smith refers to himself as having been "a clothes addict" because ______.
A.he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B.he couldn't stand a clean appearance
C.he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the time
D.he didn't want to spend much money on clothes
A B C D
C
[解析] 推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“I was a clothes addict...so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.”可知，David想要一直使他的衣服保持干净整洁，因此他称自己是个“衣服迷”。故选C。
2. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because ______.
A.they make him feel at ease when working
B.he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C.he looks handsome in casual clothes
D.he no longer works for any company
A B C D
A
[解析] 事实细节题。从文章第一段最后一句“I'm working harder than ever...need to feel comfortable.”可知，选A，comfortable与选项A中的at ease同义。
3. According to this passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A.Many workers don't like a conservative dress code.
B.Comfortable clothes make workers more productive.
C.A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers.
D.All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题。由文章最后一段倒数第三句“Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work.”可知，并非所有员工都赞成穿便服上班，故D项表述错误。
4. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
B.Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.
C."Dress-down Friday" was first given as a favor from employers.
D.Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
A B C D
C
[解析] 推理判断题。由第二段最后一句“What started out as an extra...an everyday thing...”可知，一周一天的额外奖励已经变成了日常的事情。extra one-day-a-week即dress-down Friday，而extra one-day-a-week又是雇主给雇员的福利。故选C。
5. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT ______.
A.saving worker's money
B.making workers more attractive
C.improving worker's feeling
D.making workers happier
A B C D
B
[解析] 事实细节题。根据最后一段可知，选项A(为雇员省钱)、C(提高雇员工作热情)、D(使雇员高兴)在文中均被提及。而B项(使雇员更具吸引力)则是对原文的误解，原文是“...it's easier for a company to attract new workers...(公司更容易吸引新雇员)”。故选B。
Section B Directions:The following is a short passage about a memo. After reading the passage, you are required to complete each of the five statements within three words. The answers should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. The business memo (备忘录) is probably the most frequently used communication within a company. It is called an intra-company communication because it is used by people in their own company or organization. They change to letters, however, when they write messages to people who do not work for their company. A memo creates a written record that may or may not be filed, depending on the receiver and the subject. As you know, spoken messages may be misunderstood or forgotten. A memo, however, becomes a record that does much to ensure the complete communication between the sender and the receiver. The standard form of a memo frequently carries a pre-printed series of items: To, From, Date, and Subject. The first two items include the names of the receiver and the sender. A well-written subject line tells the reader the key topic or topics the memo is about.

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. 1 After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. 2 During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. 3 The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. 4 There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. 5 After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. 6 Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.

Part Ⅴ Writing
1. Directions:For this part, you are required to write A Speech at a Graduation Farewell Party. You should write at least 100 words and write clearly on the Answer Sheet.
A Speech at a Graduation Farewell Party
Dear teachers and fellow students, Today is the day of our graduation. This is the day to mark the end of our studies at college and the beginning of a new life into society for all of us. We are supposed to feel happy on a day like this to be full of enthusiasm for the future. We all do feel these things, but we feel much more, too. There is a great feeling of sadness among us today, as we realize that we are about to say good-bye to each other and leave here. However, the thing we feel most, I guess, is gratitude. We have some idea of the sacrifices you, our teachers, have made for us, and we have some idea of all the efforts that you, our teachers, have made on us. No words can express how thankful we are to you on this day. We will always remember this day, and we will always remember you. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
