Both the passage and the questions will be read two times. When you hear a question, you should complete the answer to it with a word or a short phrase ( in no more than 3 words) . The questions and incomplete answers are printed in your test paper. You should write your answers on the Answer Sheet correspondingly. Now the passage will begin.
1. How do people make the Okay sign? By joining the __________ and index finger in a circle.
thumb
[解析] 11-15 Hand gestures mean different things to different people. So we should pay attention to some common hand gestures. One is the Okay sign. Joining the thumb and index finger in a circle is a popular way of saying Okay, but it is an insult in many Latin American countries. Once a service man in a French hotel asked me, "Is your room satisfactory?" I gave the Okay sign. He got angry and said, "If you don't like it, we'll find you another room. "Then I knew that the Frenchmen read the Okay gesture as meaning "zero". Moreover, keeping one's hands in pockets in conversation is rude in France and Japan.
2. Where does the Okay sign mean an insult? In many __________.
Latin American countries
3. What does the Okay gesture mean in France? It means __________.
zero
4. In which countries should people not speak with hands in pockets? In __________.
France and Japan
5. What is this passage mainly about? It is mainly about __________ .
hand gestures
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 A), B), C) and D ). Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
1. The computer works shockingly fast, ______ various data at the speed of light.
3. I felt somewhat disappointed and was about to leave ______ something occurred which attracted my attention.
A.unless
C.when
B.until
D.while
A B C D
C
句意：我感到有些失望，正要离开时，发生了一件事，吸引了我的注意力。连词when在这里表示“这时”，相当于at that time。unless表示“除非”，与句意不符。while相当于during the time that，表示主句的动作是在从句动作进行期间发生，在这里也不符。until表示“直到”，与句意不合。
4. Mary has got a full mark in the test. She ______ very hard all these days.
A.will work
C.could have worked
B.may work
D.must have worked
A B C D
D
句意：玛丽在考试中得了满分，这些日子她一定非常用功。用must have worked表示肯定地推测，符合句意。could have worked仅表示一种可能性，与前句“她得了满分”衔接不上来。
5. Tourists often surprised at ______ so many flat and good roads in the mountainous regions.
A.there are
C.there to be
B.there being
D.there were
A B C D
B
介词后面接名词或动名词做宾语。there is(或are)的动名词形式是there being，故B为正确答案。at后不能接从句，所以A和D都错。there to be是there be的不定式形式，不能做介词的宾语，故也错误。句意：看到山区有如此多的平坦大道，旅客感到很吃惊。
6. ______ that our knocking could not wake him up.
10. ______ much of their land is poor and only ten percent of the land can be cultivated, over ninety percent of the population are agricultural workers.
A.Except
C.Because
B.Although
D.So far as
A B C D
B
句意：尽管他们的大部分土地是贫瘠的，且只有10%的可耕地，但90%以上的人口是农业工人。except表示“除…之外”，because表示“因为”，so far as表示“至于…，尽”，明显与句意不符。although表示“虽然”，可用于句首，引导让步状语从句。
Section B Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. All are on sale in the shopping centre. It is too good a chance (miss) ______.
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfil. 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 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and 17). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. It is said that mathematics is the base of all other sciences, and that arithmetic, the science of numbers, is the base of mathematics. Numbers consist of whole numbers which are formed by the digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9, and by combinations of them. Parts of numbers smaller than 1 are sometimes expressed in terms of fractions (分数), but in scientific usage they are given as decimals (十进位). This is because it is easier to perform the various mathematical operation if decimals are used instead of fractions. The decimal, or ten-scale, system is used for scientific purposes throughout the world. It is even accepted in countries whose national systems of weights and measurements are based upon other scales. The other scale in general use nowadays is the binary, or two-scale. In such a scale, numbers are expressed by combinations of only two digits, 0 and 1. This scale is perfectly adapted to the "off-on" pulses of electricity, and so it is widely used in computers. It is because of its simplicity that the scale is often called "the lazy schoolboy's dream". A knowledge of statistics is required by every type of scientists for the analysis of data. Moreover, even an elementary knowledge of this branch of mathematics is sufficient to enable the journalist to avoid misleading his readers. It is also useful in helping the ordinary citizen detect the attempts which are constantly made to deceive him.
1. From the first paragraph we know that parts of numbers smaller than 1 are given ______ in scientific usage.
A.as fractions
C.as combinations of digits
B.as digits
D.as decimals

A.using fractions in scientific fields
B.forming a number by the digits
C.performing the mathematical operations
D.expressing fractions as decimals
A B C D
D
阅读this前一句便知，this是指上一句中的in scientific usage they(指terms of fractions)are given as decimals，即在科学应用中小数是由十进制表示的，故选D项。
3. According to the passage, why is the binary system often called "the lazy schoolboy's dream" ?
A.Arithmetic operation in this system are relatively easy.
B.The two-scale mathematical operations are interesting.
C.The schoolboy likes the digital computers.
D.This system is not required to be learned in school.
A B C D

第二段最后一句提到It is because of its simplicity，由此可见，主要原因在于它很简单。A项与文意相符，故选之。
4. From the passage, which scale is widely used in computers nowadays?
A.Ten-scale.
C.Binary.
B.Decimal.
D.Fractions.
A B C D
C
根据文章第二段第五句：可知，二进制广泛应用于计算机中，故C项正确。

Task 3 Directions: The following is a technology report. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it (No.46 through No.50). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly. Instead of using dye to color cotton, a woman cotton breeder is letting nature do the work. Through crossbreeding ( 杂交 ), Sally Fox of Natural Cotton Colours in Wickenberg is creating plants that yield fiber in a variety of colors. Because no dye is required, production of the naturally colored cotton conserves water and reduces pollution. Fox recently received a United Nations award for her work. Organically farmed brown and green cottons are already being used to make clothing sold by Levi Strauss, Esprit, and L. L. Bean. The naturally colored cottons are more expensive than conventional cottons, but they do not fade in the laundry. Fox is also developing a white cotton that can be grown organically. Normally, harvesting white cotton without a chemical defoliant (脱叶剂 ) is extremely difficult, because resin (树脂) on the leaves will stain the fibers. But Fox is growing a variety that naturally sheds (脱去) its leaves prior to harvest. The cotton, close to commercialization, bears long fibers that will be used to make high-quality textile. Sally Fox plants cotton by 1 to yield color cotton. The production of naturally colored cotton can 2 and reduce pollution. The colored cottons are 3 than conventional cottons. 4 usually stains the cotton fibers. The white cotton developed by Fox bears 5 .
