Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension Directions:This part is to test your listening ability. It consists of 3 sections.
Section A Directions:This section is to test your ability to understand short dialogues. There are 5 recorded dialogues in it. After each dialogue, there is a recorded question. Both the dialogues and questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, you should decide on the correct answer from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D) given in your test paper. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
[听力原文] W: Is this the bus that goes by the mall? M: No, it isn't. But you can transfer from this bus to bus number 24. Q: What will the woman probably do?

[听力原文] M: Are we short of tea and coffee? W: Oh, yes. And we also need some vegetables, too. It's the next item on the list. Q: What do they not need to buy?
[解析] 本题属于细节考查题。题目询问他们不需要买什么。对话谈论关于购买咖啡、茶和蔬菜的事情,由此可知答案应为选项A(啤酒)。 [避错指南] 解答此题的关键是要注意“short of”,以及“And we also need...”这些表达方式,由于选项B(咖啡)、选项C(茶)和选项D(蔬菜)均在对话中出现,故可采用排除法。

[解析] 此题属于推理判断题。四个选项都是地点,听录音时要抓住相关语境下的关键词,题目询问两个人在哪里。根据对话中的“open a checking account”(开个活期存款账户)可知正确答案为选项C(在银行)。 [避错指南] 解答此题要注意对话中虽然出现了“service charge”(服务费用),似乎选项A(在餐馆)和选项B(在停车场)都是对话发生的可能场景,但根据对话中的“开个活期存款账户”可排除这两个选项。而选项D(在超市)一般不会出现service charge之类的单词。
Section B Directions:This section is to test your ability to understand short conversations. There are 2 recorded conversations in it. After each conversation, there are some recorded questions. Both the conversations and questions will be spoken two times. When you hear a question, you should decide on the correct answer from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D) given in your test paper.

4. I saw the man (knock) ______ down by a ear in the street.
knocked
本题测试的是非谓语动词的用法。全句的意思是:“我看见一个人在街上被汽车撞倒了。”此句中man是saw的宾语,而knock和man成逻辑上的动宾关系,所以应该用过去分词knocked作saw的宾语补足语。此句也可扩展为带有宾语从句的复合句:I saw a man was knocked down by a car in the street.宾语从句为被动语态,动词用过去分词。
5. I shall treat her as (tender)______as if I was her own mother.
6. The badly wounded take (prior) ______ for medical attention over those only slightly hurt.
priority
空处需用prior的名词形式,故填曲priority。句意:重伤员较之轻伤员优先治疗。

8. Professor Wang tells us to make good ______ (useless) of our time in class.
Use
[考点分析] 本题考查词性变换,根据固定词组make good use of(充分利用)判断出这里需要选用名词“use”来充当宾语;
9. His English is (good) ______ than anyone else's in his class.
[答案精解] 句意:我宁愿你放低点声音。该题考查动词时态。would rather有两种用法。would rather do sth. 宁愿做某事;would rather sb. did sth. 情愿某人做某事。
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.
Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 37 to 41. 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. Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to colour or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts in side a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has "Economy Size" or "Family Size" printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product or the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.

A.a profit without risk

A

C
3. A buyer is also attracted by ______
A.the products inside the package
B.the size of the container
C.the words on the container
D.the gifts inside the package
A B C D
B
4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Packing is often a successful advertisement.
B.Children want to buy a product with beautiful package.
C.A buyer is also interested in the size of the package.

A.you shouldn't buy the product sold in a glass or dish

C.a buyer should get what he needs most
D.the best choice for buyer is to get a product in a plain package
Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 42 to 46. Is telemarketing fraud a new concept to you? Some people learn it the hard way. I' d like to share my experience with you and tell you how not to fall for it. The other day I got a phone call Offering me a" free" vacation-for which the person on the other end said that I had to send a processing fee. I didn't jump at it. On another day, in my letterbox there was a postcard telling me that I had won a new car, but to get the car I needed to call with my credit card number to pay for shipping charges. It sounds like a dream-come-true. But all too often, these dream deals turn out to be nightmares. Many people fall for the fast talk, send their money or give their credit card or bank account numbers, wait for employment information or plane tickets that never show up, and find themselves poorer-sometimes by hundreds, even thousands of dollars. Even people who are usually very careful about their finances can get hooked. Telemarketing fraud is a very business. The problem is so widespread that more than 92 percent of Americans have received at least one postcard solicitation (请求). A congressional subcommittee has estimated that these kinds of crooked operations may rob people of as much as $ 40 billion a year. Why so many victims? These crooks have many ways to find you. Sometimes they buy phone numbers from other telemarkets. Or they buy magazine subscription lists to get the names of thousands of potential victims.

The answers (in no more than 3 words) should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. You are not alone... Most people hate doing the ironing. So let us help make the job that little bit easier. As well as offering products to meet all your washing needs, we have some great tips for getting the best ironing results. To begin with, many items can be taken off the line and folded away or hung on clothes hangers without having to iron them. There will of course be some occasions, though, when getting the ironing board out is essential. When this is the case, try and put these hints into practice : Follow the garment (衣服) care label instructions carefully. Remember that the iron's temperature takes time to change when you alter the setting. The indicator light (指示灯)shows when it has reached the right temperature. To prevent ironing clothes with a temperature hotter than is suitable for a garment, sort clothes into piles of linen (亚麻布), cotton and synthetics (人工合成材料). Set your iron to synthetics and iron the synthetics pile, increase temperature to the cotton setting for your cottons' pile, etc. By doing so, you will slowly increase the heat of the iron and will not need to wait for it to cool down. This effectively reduces the risk of ironing garments using too hot a temperature. Avoid ironing over the top of sharp objects like zips (拉链) or buttons.
