[听力原文] What fun it is to jump into a pool or go swimming in a river in summer! How joyful and relaxing it is to have a game of table tennis after a day of study at school! And how exciting it is to play or watch a close game of basketball or volleyball! All over the world millions of people take part in different kinds of sports. Sports are perhaps the most popular form of relaxation that almost all can enjoy, whether boys or girls, men or women, young or old.
Part Ⅱ Vocabulary & Structure Directions: This part is to test your ability to construct correct and meaningful sentences. It consists of 2 sections.
Section A Directions:In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
1. It was so dark in the cinema that I could hardly ______ my roommate.
2. She told us briefly about how they succeeded in ______ the new product.
A.develop
B.to develop
C.developed
D.developing
A B C D
D
3. They ______ all their children to be high achievers.
A.hoped
B.waited for
C.expected
D.imagined
A B C D
C
[解析] 考查动词词义辨析。expect意为“期望,盼望”,表示认为有很大的客观可能性;wait for...to do sth.意为“等待,等待……做……”,强调“等”这一动作本身;expect表示“期待”,wait for表示“等待”,词义完全不同。注意hope后不能接sb. to do sth.。imagine后面不可以接sb. to do sth. 的结构。本句意为:“他们期望自己所有的孩子都大有作为。”
4. Once customers come to rely ______ these systems, they almost never take their business elsewhere.
Section B Directions: There are 5 incomplete statements' here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. We are looking forward to (work) ______ with you in the future.
working
[解析] 本题考查动词搭配。look forward to后接动名词形式,表示“期待,盼望做某事”。因此,空格处应填入work的动名词形式,即working。例如:We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.(我们盼望尽早收到你的回信。)
2. Have you got used to (live) ______ in this new region?
living。
[解析] be/get used to doing sth. 是固定短语,表示“习惯于做某事”,to是介词,后接动名词,故填living。
3. The football match had to be stopped. They ______ (play) for half an hour when there was a terrible storm.
had been playing
[解析] 考点是时态。当暴风雨来的时候足球比赛已进行了半小时“for half an hour”,而且一直在进行,应该用完成进行时态,暴风雨来临用了过去式,所以用过去完成进行时态。
4. This is the reason ______ he didn't come to the meeting.
why
5. If no one (answer) _____ the phone at home, ring me at work.
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 1 to 5. For each question or statement, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Englishmen introduce each other by first name, without titles, and sometimes by just the last name. If one person is introduced to another person by first name, the person can address him or her by first name the next time they meet. The only exception would be for someone who holds an important position, such as the university president. Occasionally, Englishmen shake hands with each other, but they think with friends once in a lifetime is often considered enough. They use "Are you all right?" rather than the formal greeting "How are you?" from our textbooks. When they get off the bus or buy things from shops, they say "Cheers" to the drivers or sellers instead of "Thanks" or "Bye". Most Englishmen never hug or kiss other men. They leave that to football players and foreigners. Women may kiss on one or both cheeks. Men may also kiss women in greeting, but only on the cheek. In public places, the English make efforts not to touch strangers even by accident. If such an accident should happen, they would apologize, but eye contact should be avoided. The queue is one of the few places where the English are allowed to talk to each other without having been formally introduced.
1. When Englishmen meet each other, they may ______.
A.shake hands
B.kiss on the cheeks
C.hug each other
D.say "How do you do?"
A B C D
A
[解析] 文章第二段告诉我们英国人相互见面时会握手,而不会拥抱或亲吻,也不用非常正式的问候语How do you do?所以A正确。
2. When Englishmen leave shops, they usually say "______" to shop-assistants.
A.Thank you
B.Cheers
C.Good-bye
D.Are you all right?
A B C D
B
[解析] 当英国人离开商店时他们说Cheers。这个信息在第二段最后一个句子中。
3. In public places, when Englishmen have unavoidable physical contact, they would ______.
A.make eye contact
B.ignore
C.apologize
D.pay no attention
A B C D
C
[解析] 第三段阐述了在公共场合,假如人们不可避免地有了身体接触,他们会道歉。
4. According to the passage, strangers may be allowed to have a talk when ______.
A.they meet each other
B.they are in public places
C.they are on a line
D.they are in a subway train
A B C D

A.Englishmen seldom kiss each other
B.Football players may hug one another
C.Englishmen always kiss women as a greeting
D.Englishmen are allowed to touch each other by accident
A B C D
B
[解析] 从四个选项的意思来看,只有B符合文义,详见第三段前两句。
Task 2 Directions: After reading it, you will find 3 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 1 to 3. For each question or statement, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Why don't birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this question for a long time. Now they're starting to fill in the blanks. Not long ago, experiments showed that birds use the sun to guide them during daylight hours. How do birds fly at night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights. A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. But it had an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird's cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight. But the stars are apparently their main means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as river courses, mountain ranges, coast lines. But when it's too dark to see these things, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.
1. The reasons why birds don't get lost on their long flights ______.
A.have been known to scientists for years
B.have only recently been discovered
C.are known by everyone
D.will probably remain a mystery
A B C D
B
[考点] 细节题 [解析] 在长途飞行中,鸟儿不会迷路的原因是______。 从文章第一段最后一句话“Now they're starting to fill in the blanks.”可以得出答案B。A项“科学家们已经掌握多年了”;C项“每个人都知道”;D项“将有可能继续是一个谜”,都不符合文意。 [参考译文] 为什么鸟儿在长途飞行过程中不会迷路呢?很长时间以来科学家对这个问题一直很困惑。现在他们正在填补这项空缺。 不久以前,实验证明在白天时,鸟儿依靠太阳来导航。那么它们晚上怎么飞行呢?科学家用人造星星证明了在夜晚,一些飞鸟可以使用星星在它们长途飞行中导航。 一只一辈子都待在笼子里的鸽子从来没有在自然的天空下飞行。但是它有一种天生的以星星来导航的本能。如果鸽子被放置在布满人造星星的天空,它们就可以像那些在大自然中生长的鸟类一样的飞行。人造星星位置的变换就会使鸟儿飞行的方向有相应的变化。 但是虽然星星是鸟儿导航最主要的导航工具。但是当星星被乌云遮盖时,它们显然还可以通过地面上的河流,山川,和海岸线来判断方向。但当天太黑而不能看清这些东西时,它们就只能无助地在天空中盘旋,无法辨别方向了。
2. By "his outdoor cousins" the author means ______.
3. The experiment with the dove indicates that ______.
A.birds have to be taught to navigate
B.a bird that has been caged will not fly long distances
C.some birds cannot fly at night
D.some birds seem to follow the stars when they fly at night
A B C D
D
[考点] 推理题 [解析] 鸽子实验表明______。 选项A从第三段“But it had an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance.”可以排除。解题关键是从第二段的最后一句话“Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.”可排除B、C,并推理出D项为正确答案。

Task 5 Directions: After reading it, you are required to complete the answers that follow the questions (No. 1 to No. 5). You should write your answers (in no more than 3 words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly. John Andrews had to wear glasses ever since he was a small boy. So, shortly before the time when he was to leave school, his parents suggested that he might train to be optician so that he could help other people with their eyes. John did not have any strong feelings about what he wanted to do, so he agreed and started a course of training with the intention of becoming an optician. He found the work interesting and did not have any trouble in qualifying at the end of the course. The next problem was to find a steady job. He looked at the advertisements in suitable journals, applied for a number of the situations offered, and at last managed to get one in the town where he lived, so one Monday morning he set off by bus for his new work. The owner of the optician's shop where he had been accepted had another assistant and a secretary. The first time that John tested a customer's eyes, the owner of the shop watched carefully to make sure that he knew what to do, and he was very satisfied with everything that John did, except that John did not know anything about prices. "We'll discuss that at lunchtime," he said to John quietly. At lunchtime, when they closed for an hour, the owner of the shop said to John, "Now, we'd better have a chat with reference to our charges for glasses, so that you know what to say to customers. In this shop we expect everyone to pay a fair price for what he or she gets, so when you have tested someone's eyes, and they have chosen the kind of lenses and frames they would like to have, and they want to know how much they will cost, you should say, for example, '$54'. While you are saying this, you should watch the customer's face carefully, and if he or she does not seem frightened by this price, you should add, 'That's the price of the frame. The lenses cost $54 more.' 'If the customer still doesn't look as if he or she is worried,' you should add, 'for each lense.'"
1. Why did John's parents think it suitable for him to train to be an optician? Because John ______.
wore glasses himself
2. What did the owner want to discuss at lunchtime? ______.
Prices of glasses
3. How much did the owner expect the customer to pay for what he or she got? A price as ______.
