1. You should be able to ______ right from wrong.

A.perceive
B.distinguish
C.sight
D.observe

A B C D

[解析] B选项的distinguish意思为“区分”，全句的意思为“你应该有能力区分好坏”。其他选项单词意思不符合上下文。

2. I will never forget the ten years ______ we both spent in the little village.

A.when
B.during which
C.which
D.in which

A B C D

[解析] 注意本题的引导词which既做时间从句的引导词，也是从句的宾语。A选项 when只是引导词但起不了做宾语的作用。由于从句的谓语动词为及物动词spent，后面需要直接跟时间ten years搭配，所以不能使用介词during和in，所以B和D选项错误。

3. I promised to look ______ the matter as soon as I got there.

A.for
B.in
C.into
D.after

A B C D

[解析] look into为固定搭配词组，意思为“调查”，全句意思为“我答应一到那里就调查此事”。其他选项搭配的意思不符合语境。

4. He is ______ student that he performed very well in the nationwide examinations.

A.so diligent
B.such a diligent
C.so much diligent
D.such very diligent

A B C D

[解析] 本题的正确表达法为so diligent a student或such a diligent student。注意so一般修饰形容词，而such一般修饰名词。也要注意这两种表达法的词序。C和D选项使用了额外的副词所以错误。

5. Your sister has made an ______ for you to see the dentist at 3 this afternoon.

A.appointment

A.tries
B.will try
C.are trying
D.have tried

A B C D

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

About one million tourists go to Barcelona every year, just to visit the Gaudi's Church. This unusual church has a strange history. Gandi was born in Spain in 1852. He had to work and study at the same time. He often missed classes because he bad to work, but one day he designed a very unusual show-case for an exhibition in Paris. People began to give him work. He designed houses, offices and gardens. They were all very uhusual. He was soon rich and famous. Then a rich bookseller said, "Will you build a church for the poor people of Barcelona? I will pay. I will build schools and workshops, too. They will help the people." "I will do it," said Guadi. He worked for forty years, but he could not finish the church. It was ton big. He needed ＄10, 000, 000. He gave all his money to the church. He was poor again when he died in 1926, and only the front part of the church was finished. Now, architects, engineers and tourists from all over the world like to come and see the church, which is very strange, very modern and very revolutionary.

1. The best title which fits the passage best is ______.

A.Bareelona--A Famous City
B.Strange History of Unusual Church
C.A Poor Architect's Study
D.Gaudi's Life in His Childhood

A B C D

[解析] 本题是一个大意题，其关键是要参考文章的主题句和总结句，也就是第一句和最后一个句子，就可以确定本文的主题是the Gaudi's Church。其他选项内容不是主题或者没有在主题句中出现，所以只能是无关信息。

2. Gaudi sometimes missed classes because ______.

A.he didn't like the classes
B.he was too lazy
C.he had to work at the same time
D.he had to look after his parents

A B C D

[解析] 可以通过确定题干上的关键词missed classes找到本题的依据句“He often missed classes because he had to work”，然后就能容易地确定答案是C。其他选项内容属于无关信息。

3. The church is unusual because ______.

A.it's unfinished
B.it looks strange
C.it's modem
D.all of the above

A B C D

[解析] 这个教堂最不一般(unusual)的地方是它没有完工“... but he could not finish the church. It was too big. He needed ＄10，000，000... when he died in 1926，and only the front part of the church was finished.”B和C选项的内容在最后一句话可以找到，但这两个方面与教堂的unusual并没有直接联系。

4. Which of the following is not true?

A.Gandi was a Spanish architect.
B.Gaudi devoted most of his life to the building of the church.
C.People all over the world have visited the Guadi's Church.
D.Many tourists go to see Gaudi's unfinished church.

A B C D

[解析] 很明显，C选项的内容过于绝对，不可能世界上所有人都参观过这个教堂。A选项的依据很明显；B选项内容可由句子“He worked for forty years，but he could not finish the church”来确认；D选项的依据句是文章的最后一个句子。

5. According to the passage, Guadi ______.

A.suffered too much in his life
B.was full of sympathy to the poor
C.always created unusual works
D.both B and C

A B C D

[解析] B和C选项的内容在文章中都可以找到依据句“Will you build a church for the poor people of Barcelona? I will pay. I will build schools and workshops，too. They will help the people." "I will do it，" "He designed houses，offices and gardens. They were all very unusual."

We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.
It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they axe angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and begin to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, "he opened his eyes wide" is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like "they stretched out their tongues!" .Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.
Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people's faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.

1. According to the passage, ______.

A.we can hardly understand what people's gestures mean
B.we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures
C.words can be better understand by older people
D.gestures can be understand by most of the people while words can not

A B C D

[解析] 可以首先阅读选项，确认最有道理的答案选项，然后在文章中找到其依据句。如果找不到一个选项的依据句就说明本选项不是正确答案。B选项的依据句就是文章的第一句话“We use both words and gestures to express our feelings，but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.”其他选项在文中找不到依据。

2. People's facial expressions may be misunderstood because ______.

A.people of different ages may have different understanding
B.people have different cultures
C.people of different sex may understand a gesture in a different way
D.people of different countries speak different languages

A B C D

[解析] 文章第三段主要讲述由于文化方面的区别，而对面部表情所产生的相同或不同理解。最后一段的第一句话也很重要；从常识判断，其他选项的内容与现实生活不符。

3. In the same culture, ______.

A.people have different ability to understand and express feelings
B.people may have the same understanding of something
C.people never fail to understand each other
D.people are equally intelligent

A B C D

[解析] 从常识判断，B，C和D选项的内容与现实生活不符，属于没有道理的说法；A选项的依据句就是最后一段的第一句话“Even in the same culture，people differ in ability to understand and express feelings.”

4. From this passage, we can conclude ______.

A.words are used as frequently as gestures
B.words are often found difficult to understand
C.words and gestures are both used in expressing feelings
D.gestures are more efficiently used than words

A B C D

[解析] 文章的第一句话就是C选项的意思“We use both words and gestures to express our feelings，”而其他选项的内容在文章没有依据，说法本身与现实也不相符。

5. The best title for this passage may be ______.

A.Words and Feelings
B.Words, Gestures and Feelings
C.Gestures and Feelings
D.Culture and Understanding

A B C D

[解析] 这是一道大意题，应该参考文章的主题句：第一个句子“We use both words and gestures to express our feelings，but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.”其他选项的内容不完整。

Because of its potential for cutting costs, the distribution step in the marketing process is receiving more attention. Distribution involves warehousing, transporting and keeping inventory of manufactured products. Take an everyday product like fabric softener. After it comes off the assembly line, it's packed in cartons and trucked to warehouses around the country. When orders come in from retailers, the fabric softener is delivered to supermarket shelves. This is distribution.
Probably the most crucial area for controlling costs is inventory. Companies don't want to overproduce and have unsold stock of their product piled up in warehouses. Wholesale companies and large retail chains employ several techniques for inventory control. This is where the computer revolution really had an impact. Computerized information systems give precise and up-to-date accounts of inventory on hand. And the field of distribution offers good entry-level jobs for persons with training in computer programming or data processing.
Overseeing the whole area of distribution is the distribution manager. This job is becoming increasingly important and can lead to an executive position.

1. According to the passage, why is the distribution step in marketing getting more attention?

A.It is where companies research and develop new products.
B.It is where companies can cut costs.
C.It is where employees can update their computer skills.
D.It provides jobs for college graduates.

A B C D

[解析] 本题的关键还是要找到依据句。由题干上的关键词“distribution step in the marketing”可以容易地看出依据句就是第一个句子“Because of its potential for cutting costs，the distribution step in the marketing process is receiving more attention.”正确选项必须含有cutting costs的意思；其他选项的内容属于无关信息或错误信息。

2. Why does the writer mention fabric softener?

A.To advertise a new product.
B.To show how companies set the price of an item.
C.To explain why companies must keep costs down.
D.To illustrate how the distribution process works.

A B C D

[解析] 先找到题干中的fabric softener在文章中出现的地方，再正确理解前后的句子，就可以确认答案。注意第一段的最后一个总结句子“This is distribution.”“fabric softener”是说明distribution的一个实例。

3. Why is inventory control so important?

A.It is essential for controlling costs.
B.It can lead to an executive position.
C.It helps companies overproduce.
D.It requires little or no training.

A B C D

[解析] 先确认题干中的关键词inventory，再找到本题的依据句“Probably the most crucial area for controlling costs is inventory.”就能确认A选项正确。其他选项属于无关信息。

4. Why are computers important in distribution?

A.They can accurately report on inventory.
B.They provide good training in computer programming.
C.They make it easier for managers to supervise people.
D.They train people for executive positions.

A B C D

[解析] 通过题于上的关键词computers找到本题的依据句“Computerized information systems give precise and up-to-date accounts of inventory on hand.”其他选项的内容都属于无关信息。

5. What is this passage mainly talking about?

A.The use of computers for sale of products.
B.The distribution step in the marketing process.
C.Cost control in inventory of a product.
D.Wholesale and retail chains of a product.

A B C D

[解析] 本题是大意题，确定主题句最为关键。一般主题句的位置是文章的第一句话。本文主题句“Because of its potential for cutting costs，the distribution step in the marketing process is receiving more attention.”中最重要的信息是“the distribution step in the marketing process”，与B选项完全一致。

At about the 5 time I called in the regional crime officer, to advise me on how to make the house reasonably secure against the child criminals who commit most of the 6 in these parts. He, 7 , was a companionable soul and made an afternoon of it.
And why is it that when I write to a public utility 8 as the gas board. I get a printed card to tell they received my letter and will shortly act on it? The money spent on printing, typing, filling in and stamping these cards 9 add up to a very large sum indeed, when spread over all these industries. No commercial house sends such acknowledgements.
