Part Ⅱ Structure Directions:This part is to test your ability to construct grammatically correct 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 .4), B) , C) and D). Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
1. Not only ______us light, but it gives us heat.
A.the sun gives
B.the sun has given
C.has the sun given
D.does the sun give
A B C D
D
not only…hut also…表示“不但……而且……”。,在英语中当not only置于句首时,其后的分句要倒装,但引导主语语时不倒装。如:Not only was he in charge of the financial division,but he ran a small firm.他不仅负责财务部,而且还经营了一家工厂。Not only Jack but also Catherine worked out the problem.不但杰克还有凯瑟琳也解答了这个问题。
2. Wounded ______he was, he refused to come back from the front.
A.although
B.even if
C.as
D.while
A B C D
C
这是以as引导的让步状沿从句为了强调而形成的倒装,在这个倒装句中强调对象可以是表语(名词、形容词)、状语(副词)、谓语(动词)。表语为名词时,其前通常不用冠词。这个结构中还可以用though,that,以as为最常见。例如:Much as he likes her,he does get irritated with her sometimes.尽管他非常喜欢她,有时对她也很恼火。Stupid as I am,l can beat you in a race.尽管我很愚鲁,但在竞走方面却能胜过你。Try as you may.you will never succeed.不管你多么努力,你决不会成功。Poor though she is,her life is happy.她尽管穷,但生活得很幸福。依据这个原则和句意要求,我们排除A、B、D三项,选项C为正确答案。
3. He is ______a student that every teacher likes him.
A.such good
B.so good
C.that good
D.as good
A B C D
B
一股规则是such用在名词之前,或跟有名词的形容词之前,so只是在孤零零的形容词前出现,它后而可以跟上名词,但是属于正式书面文体。例如:It was such an interesting meeting.这是一次如此令人感兴趣的会议。There were such a lot of people.那儿有那么多的人。原句中He is so good a student.虽然成立,但常见形式应为He is such a good student.如果要说“他们是那么好的学生。”我们会说成“They are such good students.”而不能说“They are so good students.”依据以上规则及句意要求,我们选择B为正确答案,A、C、D三项均视为不正确的选项。
4. The ______of gunpowder greatly changed the nature of warfare.
A.invention.
B.development
C.discovery
D.appearance
A B C D
A
因为B项development意为”发展,显现,开发”,D项appearance意为“呈现,出现面貌”。两词意皆不符合题意要求,故可排除。C项discovery指原来客观存在的事物,后来被“发现或发觉”。例如:She was shocked at the discovery that he was a thief.她很惊奇地发现他竟是个小偷。C项词义与题意也不符,亦可被排除。A项invention表示“发明,创造,虚构”,产生出原来并不存在的新事物。例如:The invention of radio by Marconi plays an important role in modern society.马科尼发明无线电在现代社会里起着非常重要的作用。A项词义正符合题意要求。
5. Every man, woman and child______ love and to be loved.
A.need
B.are needed
C.is needed
D.needs
A B C D
D
以“each…and…,every…and….each…and each…,every…and every…”作主语时,其谓语动词要取单数形式。例如:Every hour and every minute is important for all of us.每分每秒对我们所有人都很重要。Every man,woman,and child deserves better health care.每个男人、女人和孩子都应得到更好的医疗保健。因此,首先可以排除A、C项,而B项语态有误,亦可排除,故D项为正确答案。
6. ______ the rain revealed have gone to Beijing.
A.But that
B.Despite
C.But for
D.In spite of
A B C D
C
B项与D项均属介词短语,用在表示让步意义的句中,与本题题意不符,均应被排除。A项but that虽然能引出表示虚拟的句子,但后面需接一个从句,本题仅是单词,故也应排除。C项but for是复合介词后接名词或短语,主句用虚拟形式表达,例如:But for the storm,we should have arived earlier.要是没有碰上暴雨,我们还会早到一些的。项正合题意。
7. I suppose you couldn' t let me borrow your car this evening, ______?
A.couldn' t you
B.didn' t you
C.could you
D.will you
A B C D
C
一般说来,陈述句为主从复合句,附加词句的动词随主句动词变化,例如:He said that we were all in the wrong,didn't he?他说我们都错了,对吗?但是如果主句主语部分为“I'd say;I'll bet,或是以下动词的现在时形式,anticipate,assume,believe,expect,fancy,feel,figure,guess,imagine,suppose,think,附加词句的动词则要随从句部分的动词变化而变化, 例如:I don't believe you're right,are you?(=I believe you are not right,are you?)我相信你不对,是不是?I don't suppose anyone will volunteer,will they?我想谁都不愿意,对吗?依照以上要求,我们可以排除A项、B项和D项,故C项为正确答案。
8. How long is your ______to work?
A.travel
B.journey
C.trip
D.voyage
A B C D
B
A项travel作名词时,既可用作不可数名词,表示实际的旅行。例如:Travel broadens the mind.旅行使人开阔思路。又可用作可数名词,常以复数形式出现,表示时间较长的,从一地到另一地的旅行,尤指在国外为了享乐或兴趣而进行的旅行。例如:She's gone off 011 her travels again.她又外出旅行了。C项trip(更正式的词为excursion)指的是从一地出发又返回原地的短途旅行。例如:During our holiday in Venice we went on a few trips to places nearby.在威尼斯度假期间我们曾到附近几个地方做短途旅行。D项voyage常指海上或空中的长途旅行。例如:He made.a voyage to America.他航行到美国去。以上三项都小符合题意要求,均应被排除。B项journey表示经常走的长或短的路程。例如:-How hmg is your journey to work?-Only about 15 minutes.——你上班的路有多远?——只要走大约15分钟。B项词义正好符合题意要求,故为正确答案。
9. Teaching must______ the knowledge and methods of science; both are necessary.
A.do with
B.cope with
C.make with
D.deal with
A B C D
D
A项do with,与can和could连用,意为“需要,希望得到”,例如:You look as if you could do with good night's sleep.你看上去需要夜里好好睡觉。B项cope with意为“(成功地)应付,能对付”。例如:These were too much work for our Computer to copewith.工作人多,我们的计算机难以应付。C项make with,意为“(尤用于祈使句)产生,怏点拿来” 例如:Make with beers.buster!老兄,快点拿啤酒来!以上三项均不符小题题意,故都应被排除。D项deal with意为“论述,涉及”,例如:The next chapter deals with verbs.下一章论述动词。D项符合题意要求,故为正确答案。
10. He made me try to touch my toes, ______really hurt.
A.which
B.that
C.it
D.what
A B C D
A
在定语从句中,有时关系代词which可以用来表示前面的整个句子或句中一部分,这种which可用and this或and that来代替。例如:The sun heats the earth,which makes it possible for plants to grow.太阳给地球热量,这使植物可以生长.Liquid water changes to vapor,which is called evaporation.液态水变成蒸汽,这就叫做蒸发。本题就属于这种用法,因此可以排除B、C和D项,故A为正确答案。

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 36 to 40. 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. Fifty years from now the world' s population will be declining, with no end in sight. Unless people's values change greatly, several centuries from now there could be fewer people living in the entire world than live in the United States today. The big surprise of the past twenty years is that in not one country did fertility (生育力)stop falling when it reached the replacement rate (出生率)—2.1 children per woman. In Italy, for example, the rate has fallen to 1.2. In Western Europe as a whole and in Japan it is down to 1.5. The evidence now indicates that within fifty years or so world population will peak at about eight billion before starting a fairly rapid decline. Because in the past two centuries world population has increased from one billion to nearly six billion, many people still fear that it will keep "exploding" until there are too many people for the earth to support. But that is like earing that your baby will grow to 1,000 pounds because its weight doubles three times in its first seven years. World population was growing by two percent a year in the 1960s; the rate is now down to one percent a year, and if the patterns of the past century don' t change radically, it will head into negative numbers. This view is coming to be widely accepted among population experts, even as the public continues to focus on the threat of uncontrolled population growth. As long ago as September of 1947 Scientific American published a special issue on population that described what demographers (人口统计学家)had begun calling the "demographic transition" from traditional high rates of birth and death to the low ones of modem society. The experts believed that birth and death rates would be more or less equal in the future, as they had been in the past, keeping total population stable after a level of 10-20 billion people was reached during the transition.
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to45. Sean Connery was the first Bond actor, who has appeared seven times on the screen. In this first 007movie, British agent James Bond ( his code is 007) is sent on a mission to Jamaica to investigate the murder of a fellow agent. He becomes involved with the villainous Dr. No, an evil scientist who plans to disrupt the US space program by diverting the fight paths of rackets launched at Cape Canaveral. Aided by US agent Felix Leiter and bikiniclad Honey, who emerges from the sea, he successfully concludes his mission. Thunderball was originally planned to become the first Bond movie, but Ian Fleming was being sued(被起诉) by two writers who claimed that part of their screenplay had been written into his novel. The litigation (民事诉讼) made the property too hot to touch, so Dr. No was made in its place. It was directed by Terence Young, and produced by Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli. Albert Cubby Broccoli tried to purchase the rights to the Bond stories but was beaten to them by Harry Saltzman. Braccoli then tried to buy them from Saltzman, who would only make a deal on a joint venture, which brought about their Eon (Everything or nothing)Production Company.
1. What is the meaning of "fellow" in Paragraph 1 ?
Directions:The following is an instrustion. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it (No. 46 to No. 50). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than three words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly. It's great fun to explore (探索) new places it feels like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles. Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you're traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat. Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map ,a compass(指南针), a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies(应急现金). Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up. See if your school or a club organize orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a sparetime activity. Either way, it's not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit. the purpose of the text: how to 1 getting lost in exploration before setting out: 1.get a group of friends; or see if orienteering activities will be 2 . 2.tell someone your exploration plan to be 3 in case of an accident. 3.need a good map, a compass, a raincoat, a cell phone and a bit of spare cash for emergencies. while 4 : 1.do the map reading. 2.keep looking 5 .

Are You on the List?
Online mailing lists are similar to message boards, but a little bit more private. Like message boards, each list centres on a specific topic. Unlike message boards, mailing lists use email to connect users. Send your email address to a "list server" along with the name of the mailing list ( or email conversation) you want to join. From then on ( until you unsubscribe), you'll receive all the emails, that you and other users send to the list. The website List is a great way to find mailing lists. It organizes over 70,000 mailing lists by category. If you sign up for one, make sure you have a stable email address. Many times a list will only let you post a message from the address that you are subscribed under. Also keep the first email you get from a list in a safe place—it usually tells you how to unsubscribe. Finally, you may want to sign up for a list and receive only the best messages. Many moderated lists allow you to designate whether you'll get every message or only a "digest". Again, check that first message for instructions. ( A word of caution : don' t go crazy and sign for too many lists all at once. If you do, you may be inundated (泛滥) with email and not get anything positive out of the experience. Take it slow. Sign up for one or two lists, and then go from there. )
1. How can you get mail from the mailing lists? You can send your email address to a“______” along with the name of the mailing list(or email conversation) you want to join.
list server。

3. What is the meaning of "subscribe" in the passage? Pay______.

4. Find out the difference between the mailing lists and message boards. Mailing lists are a little more ______than message boards and mailing lists use email to connect users.
private。

Yours, Li Hua
