[考点] 定语从句 [解析] 分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是一个定语从句，修饰指人的先行词the American tourist，且在从句中作宾语，所以应用关系代词whom，who或that。what不能引导定语从句；whose在定语从句中作定语；which在定语从句中作主语、宾语或表语，先行词指物或整句话，这三项均不符合题意。故选D。 翻译：我们正在讨论我们在长城之旅中遇到的那位美国游客。
Part Ⅱ Cloze Directions:There are 15 blanks in the following passage. For each blank 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. Enough sleep is important to health. The amount of sleep 1 depends on the age of the person and the conditions in which sleep 2 . The young may need more sleep than the old, but 3 eight hours are enough for the health of grown-ups. Some can do with less than this amount but 4 may need more. Every person knows his own need. It is then a matter of how to 5 it. Sleep should always be enough to make one relaxed and ready for 6 work. Fresh air is 7 to sound sleep. It is not 8 reason for some people to insist that it is practical to sleep in the open air. 9 a person can keep himself warm, out-of-door sleeping probably gives the body 10 complete relaxation. Ability to sleep is largely a habit. The conditions referred to only lead to sleep. Out-of-door 11 , a good habit of regular hours and the avoidance of late eating and 12 are helpful to sound sleep. Such factors are largely within the 13 of any person. A bath at 14 , neither hot nor cold but of body temperature, may be helpful to sleep. Sleeping pills should never be taken except when suggested by 15 .
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 A question often put to the specialist on fishes is " How long do fishes live?" This puts the specialist in an embarrassing position because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question. But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state. We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it. We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone. We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record, but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span. Unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity(成熟). They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.
1. People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its ______.
A.size
B.life span
C.age
D.variety
A B C D
B
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第一段第一句“A question often put to the specialist on fishes is 'How long do fishes live?'”可知，经常有人向鱼类专家提出这样的问题：“鱼类能活多久?”，即人们经常向鱼类专家询问有关鱼类寿命的问题。故选B。
2. The specialist is embarrassed by the question because ______.
A.he does not know the answer
B.there is no answer to the question
C.it is a silly and simple question for him
D.there is no definite answer to this question
A B C D
D
[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据第一段第二句“...because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question.”和第二段前两句“But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span.”可知，鱼类专家常常无法对这个简单的问题给出直接的回答，但实际上，这个问题并不像看起来那么简单，世界上有成千上万种不同的鱼类，它们的体型和寿命有很大的差异。由此可推知，专家对这个问题感到尴尬，是因为这个问题没有确切的答案。故选D。
3. We can know a fish's age from its ______.
A.weight
B.size
C.scales
D.length
A B C D
C
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第三段“We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales...”可知，我们可以通过研究鱼的鳞片来知道鱼的年龄。故选C。

B.It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural state.
C.Mature fishes grow more quickly than young ones.
D.The specialist makes marking to know the rate of growth of fishes so that they know the age of the largest ones.
A B C D
C
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据最后一段最后一句“They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes.”可知，只要它们活着，它们就会继续生长，尽管成熟的鱼的生长速度会减慢，所以C项错误。根据第二段第二句“There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span.”可知，世界上有成千上万种不同的鱼类，它们的体型和寿命有很大的差异，所以A项正确；根据第二段最后一句“Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state.”可知，此外，要弄清一条鱼在自然状态下能活多久并不容易，所以B项正确；根据倒数第二段“We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record...”可知，我们可以做标记来显示鱼的生长速度，这样我们就可以计算出记录中最大的鱼的年龄，所以D项正确，这三项均不符合题意。故选C。
5. Human beings, unlike fishes, ______.
A.stop growing when they reach maturity
B.grow faster after maturing
C.continue to grow as long as they live
D.have a short life span
A B C D
A
[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据最后一段第一句“Unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity.”可知，与人类不同，鱼类在成熟后不会停止生长。由此可推知，人类到达成熟期后会停止生长。故选A。
Passage 2 When young people get their first real jobs, they face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world. Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. By doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what his approach to day-to-day situations is. While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.
1. The young people who just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world because ______.
A.they were not well educated at school
B.what they learnt in university classes is not adequate for their new life
C.the society is too complicated to adapt to
D.they failed to work hard at school
A B C D
B
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第一段最后一句“Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations...”可知，最终，他们意识到大学课程并不能是应对所有不同情况的唯一准备，即他们在大学课堂上学到的东西对他们的新生活来说并不够。故选B。
2. The underlined word "arise" in Para. 1 means "______".
A.come into being
B.bring about
C.go up
D.cause to happen
A B C D
A
[考点] 词语理解题 [解析] 根据第一段最后一句“Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.”可知，最终，他们意识到大学课程并不是应对工作中出现的所有不同情况的唯一准备。由此可推知，arise意为“出现，产生”，与A项come into being(形成，产生)意思最为接近。bring about：导致，引起；go up：(价格、温度等)上涨，上升；cause to happen：诱发，导致发生，这三项均不符合题意。故选A。
3. The best way to learn how to behave in the working world is ______.
A.to find a worker and follow him closely
B.to find a person you respect and see how he acts in different situations
C.to find a person you admire and make friends with him
D.to make the acquaintance of a model you admire
A B C D
B
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第二段第一句“Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior.”可知，也许在工作中学习如何表现的最好方法就是找出你欣赏的员工并观察他的行为。故选B。
4. The purpose of this passage is ______.
A.to offer career guides to young people
B.to tell young people the importance of the first job
C.to instruct young people how to communicate with people
Passage 3 To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B. C. We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade, and the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Age, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.

C.Once ordinary people had no right to use umbrellas.
D.Umbrellas were popular and cheap in ancient times.
A B C D

[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据第三段最后一句“In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.”可知，在古代的远东地区，只有皇室成员或身居要职的人才可以使用伞，所以C项正确，D项错误。根据最后一段最后一句“It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.”可知，直到20世纪，女性用伞才开始有了各种各样的颜色，所以A项正确。根据第二段第一句“Nobody knows who first invented it...”可知，没有人知道最开始是谁发明了伞，所以B项正确。故选D。
5. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? ______
Passage 4 A credit card can be useful. You can take it into a store and buy a television set or new furniture or clothing or anything you want. All you have to do is to sign your name and take what you want out of the store without paying cash. But there is a problem with the cards—they can be financial poison. These cards are just like the poison we use on insects. If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our body. For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company charges a percentage of that amount in interest. The interest is added every month, so a bill that is not paid gets bigger and bigger. Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are "overextended". That is, they have more debts on their credit cards than they can pay. Credit cards can be used for almost anything that money can buy. And they can even be used to pay for funerals. For some credit card users, a funeral may be the only solution to the debt problems they have caused for themselves by using credit cards.
1. What do we know about credit cards according to the passage? ______
A.They are safe to use.
B.They are convenient to use.

2. What's the problem with credit cards mentioned in Paragraph Two? ______
A.They may be very poisonous.
B.They may carry harmful insects.
C.They may cause financial troubles.
D.They may get lost easily.
A B C D
C
[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据第二段第三句“If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our body.”可知，如果我们小心谨慎地使用信用卡，它们会很有用，可是如果我们过于频繁地使用信用卡，它们就有可能像毒药毒害我们的身体那样在经济上扼杀我们。由此可推知，信用卡可能会给人带来财务上的麻烦。故选C。
3. What happens to a credit card user if he fails to pay each month according to the passage? ______
A.He will pay a bill with interest charged.
B.He will be dismissed by the company.
C.He will be charged as a criminal.
D.He will be accused of cheating.
A B C D
A
[考点] 事实细节题 [解析] 根据第三段第一句“For any money that the user does not pay each month, the credit card company charges a percentage of that amount in interest.”可知，对于那些用户每月无法还的钱，信用卡公司会对那部分钱收取一定比率的利息。由此可知，如果一个信用卡用户没有按规定每月还款，他会付一份带有利息的账单。故选A。
4. The sentence "Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are 'overextended' " in Paragraph Four probably means ______.
A.the majority of American families have to pay off debts with their cards
B.a great number of American families will no longer use credit cards
C.many American families will be overcharged one-tenth of interest
D.more than one-tenth of American families spend more than they can pay off

[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据第四段“Over 10 percent of the families in the United States are 'overextended'. That is, they have more debts on their credit cards than they can pay.”可知，在美国，超过百分之十的家庭“开支过大”，也就是说，他们信用卡上的债务超过了他们的支付能力。由此可推知，超过十分之一的美国家庭的支出超出他们的偿还能力。故选D。
5. From the passage, we can conclude that ______.
A.we should use credit cards as little as possible
B.we should use credit cards as much as possible
C.we should use credit cards with great care
D.we should use cash instead of credit cards
A B C D
C
[考点] 推理判断题 [解析] 根据第二段最后一句“If we use them carefully, they can be helpful; but if we use them too much, they can kill us financially just as real poison can kill our body.”和最后一段最后一句“For some credit card users, a funeral may be the only solution to the debt problems they have caused for themselves by using credit cards.”可知，如果我们小心谨慎地使用信用卡，它们会很有用，可是如果我们过于频繁地使用信用卡，它们就有可能像毒药毒害我们的身体那样在经济上扼杀我们。对于一些信用卡用户来说，一场葬礼可能是他们使用信用卡造成的债务问题的唯一解决方案。由此可推知，我们应该小心使用信用卡。故选C。
Section B Directions:The following is a short passage about hobbies. 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. Many people have discovered that hobbies can be profitable as well as fun. Some people have fine collections of bottles, flags, stamps or even matchboxes. Painting, writing and taking photographs are examples of hobbies that may become occupations. Every writer, artist and photographer probably started as a hobbyist before becoming a professional. Many doctors believe that hobbies help to make our lives more enjoyable. They believe that people who raise fish or collect records are too busy to spend their time worrying. Doctors also think that an active person, such as a baseball player, should have a restful hobby such as reading, while a person who sits at a desk all day should have a lively hobby such as tennis, golf or swimming. Most people in the United States agree with the doctors. It is difficult to find an American who does not have a favorite hobby.

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. To different people, the word "ideal" may mean different things. 1 To some, it may mean success and fame in their career; to others, a peaceful life. 2 Very often, we have ideals for the self but no ideal for the society. In my opinion, a youth should have ideals. 3 But these ideals are not merely centered on the self; they should also be the ones for the majority of people. Then we would get strength and confidence towards life. 4 The setting up of an ideal means that real and concrete action should be taken. For us students, the most important thing is to study. 5 Sometimes, in striving toward our ideals, we may encounter certain difficulties and failures, but we should not give up hope. 6 We will never lose heart if our ideals are the wish of the many!
1.
对有些人来说，理想可能意味着事业上的成功和荣誉；对另一些人来说，理想可能意味着平静的生活。
2.
我们常常有自我理想，却没有社会理想。
3.
但是这些理想不能仅仅以自我为中心。
4.
树立理想意味着采取实际而具体的行动。
5.
有时，在向着理想努力的过程中，我们可能会遇到一些困难和失败，但是我们不应该放弃希望。
6.
如果我们的理想正是大多数人的愿望，我们就决不能丧失信心!
