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 spo-ken 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.
[解析] M:Morning.madam.What would you like to leave with us? W:I'd like to leave this bag with you. Q:What does the woman want to leave there? [解析] 事实细节题。此题询问“女士想留下什么”,对 话中女士说的leave this bag表明选项B为正确答 案。 [避错指南] 选项A(大衣),选项C(电脑)和选项D (帽子)在对话巾都没有提到。
2.
A.Price of the goods.
B.Quantity of the goods.
C.Delivery of the goods.
D.Quality of the goods.
A B C D
C
[解析] W:Could you delivers the goods by train,please? M:Why? We agreed to send them by truck. Q:What are the two people talking about? [解析] 细节推理题。本题询问“对话中的两人在谈论什么话题”,在对话中,女士提及“通过火车送货”, 而男士则说到“用货车送货”,由此可推断,两者的 对话围绕的话题应为“送货”的方式,因此答案为选 项C。另外,选项C中的delivery是对话中女士说到 的deliver的名词形式,如果知道这两个词是属于同一词族,答案即不难确定了。 [避错指南] 选项A(货物的价格)、选项B(货物的数 量)和选项D(货物的质量)在对话中都没有提及。
3.
A.Monday.
B.Thursday.
C.Friday.
D.Saturday.
A B C D
D
[解析] M:Doctor.I work from Monday through Friday. W:Then come to see me this weekend. Q:On which day can the man come to see the doctor? [解析] 细节推断题。本题询问“男士可以在哪一天 去看医生”,由女士(即医生)的话“周末来见我”可 以判断正确答案是选项D。 [避错指南] 选项A(星期一)、选项B(星期四)和选项 D(星期五)都不属于weekend(周末),故均不符合题 意。
4.
A.Traffic accidents.
B.Economic crisis.
C.Air pollution.
D.Housing shortage.
A B C D
C
[解析] W:I think air pollution is rather serious in the city. M:You're right.Cars are still the major source of pollution. Q:What is the serious problem with the city? [解析] 事实细节题。本题询问“这个城市有什么严 重的问题”,根据女士提到的air pollution(空气污 染)和男士提到的pollution(污染)可以知道正确答 案是选项C。 [避错指南] 选项A(车祸)看起来与女士提到的cars (车)有关联,但对话只提到了cars,没有提到accident, 而且女士提到cars是为了说明空气污染的严重性,因 此,选项A不正确;选项B(经济危机)和选项D(住房 短缺)在对话中均未提到。
5.
A.They cook well.
B.They dance well.
C.They look strong.
D.They appear friendly.
A B C D
[解析] M:I've never seen such wonderful robots before.They dance so well. W:Really?I think I should go and see them. O:What does the man think of the robots? [解析] 事实细节题。试题询问“男士对那些机器人有 什么评价”,从男士说的they dance so well(它们跳 舞跳得真好)可以判断本题正确答案为选项B。 [避错指南] 男士对机器人的评价除了they dance so well之外,他还提到了这些机器人wonderful,除此之 外,他没有其他评价了,由此可见,选项A(它们煮饭很 拿手),选项C(它们看起来很强壮)和选项D(它们看 起来很友好)都没有在对话中提及。
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. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Conversation 1
[解析] 6-7 M:Hello,I need to[6]/[7] open an account with you. W:Ok.will it be a checking account or a savings account? M:[6] Savings account. W:How much will you[6] deposit in it? M:500 dollars.

Have a nice day!
6.Where does the conversation most probably take place? [解析] 推理判断题。问题询问“这个对话最可能发 生在什么地方”。对话中反复提及了account(账 户),checking account(支票账户),savings account (储蓄账户),bankbook(银行簿)等,还提到了de-posit(存钱),这些词都表明这个对话最可能发生在 “银行”里,因此本题选D。 [避错指南] 选项A(在一个商店里),选项B(在一家公 司里)和选项C(在一家旅行社里)与account等词的关 系均不如选项D(银行)直接、密切。
[解析] 8-10 W:Sales department of ABC Company.may I help you? M:Yes,[8] we're interested in your digital camera modelDV3, how much does it cost? W:Well, 300 dollars each.

[解析] What is the discount if the payment is made within two weeks?
[解析] 事实细节题。题目询问:“如果两个星期内支 付货款,有什么折扣?”对话中男士询问Do you give any discount if I pay within two weeks?与本题题 目的内容相同,接下来女士的回答是:“we will give you a 3%discount.”,由此可见,本题答案为选项B。 [避错指南] 其他三个选项在原文均未提及。
Section C Directions: This section is to test your ability to comprehend short passages. You will hear a recorded passage. After that you will hear five questions. 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).

[段落大意] 约翰·威尔逊是一家大公司的总经理。 他总是很忙,而且经常出差。他下一周整周都要出 差。他将要去多个城市,与其他公司的经理开会 并与很多销售人员见面,听他们作汇报。玛丽是他 的秘书,但不会随他一起出差。她将会留在办公 室,帮约翰回复信件和接电话,与其他公司保持联 络,并致电话将重要的事情告知约翰。她还将管理 办公室的工作人员。她想把工作做好,因为她想得 到晋升。
2. What will John Wilson do next week? He will be away for ______ .
business
[解析] 题目询问“约翰·威尔逊下一周要做什么?”。 由短文中的He'll be away for business all next week可知空白处应填写business一词。
3. Who are going to report to him on his trip? ______ .
Salespeople
[解析] 题目询问“谁将会在他(约翰·威尔逊)的旅途 中向他作汇报?”。短文提到了约翰·威尔逊将在旅途 中see a lot of salespeople and listen to their reports,句中的their reports指的就是salespeople的汇 报,因此,本题应填写Salespeople。
4. Who will be in charge of the office while he is away? His ______ .
secretary
[解析] 题目询问“约翰·威尔逊不在的时候,谁管理 办公室的事务?”短文提到了She'll also be in charge of all the employees…,其中She指的是约翰·威尔逊的秘书,可以得知空格处应填入secretary。
5. Why does Mary want to do a good job? She hopes to be ______ .
promoted
[解析] 题目询问“为什么玛丽想要把工作做好?”。由 短文的结尾处的…because she hopes to be pro-rooted可知空格处应填入最后一个词promoted。
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 center.
1. We investigated other companies in the market to discover ______ they handled complaints from their customers.
3. The team is going out to hold a party tomorrow after it ______ the project.
A.completes
B.completed
C.will complete
D.will have completed
A B C D
A
[解析] 明天,这个团队将在完成计划后到外面开晚会。 [解析] 本题考查一般将来时在从句中的形式。从句子开头的is gomg…to可知本题的时态是一般将来时,而在 after引出时间状语从句中,一般将来时应用一般现在时来表达,因此,本题应选A。 [避错指南] 在时间状语从句中,谓语部分通常用现在时表“将来”,如用一般现在时代替一般将来时(如本题),用现在 完成时代替将来完成时(如:He will come to call on you the moment he has finished his painting. 他一画完画 就会来看你。)。在本题中,选项B为一般过去时,选项C和选项D都是将来时态,均不符合“在从句中,谓语用现在时表示将来” 的规律。
4. The new employees had to go over the safety regulations several times ______ they understood them.
5. By the end of next year, I ______ for the company for 10 years.
A.work
B.am working
C.had worked
D.will have worked
A B C D
D
[解析] 到明年年底为止,我将为这家公司工作满10年。 [解析] 本题考查将来完成时。题目中的by the end of next year意为“到明年年底为止”,表示从开始在这家公 司工作的时间到明年年底的“一段时间”,表示持续“一段时间”的时间状语应搭配“完成时态”,而因为本 句讲的是将来发生的事,综合来看,本题谓语时态应为将来完成时,因此,本题应选D。 [避错指南] 凡是见到by……或up til……用于引出一个时间状语,它们均意为“直到……”,都表示一个持续的时间,因此,与它们对应的谓 语时态应为完成时,如果跟在它们后面的是表“过去”的时间状语,则句子谓语为“将为完成时”。只要记住这个规律,其他选项立刻可以排除。
6. ______ arriving at the meeting room, Tina discovered that she had left the sample products in her office.
A.By
B.Through
C.On
D.In
A B C D
C
[译文] 到达会议室时,Tina发现自己将货样落在了办公室。 [解析] 本题考查表示“当……的时候”的介词。根据本句的句意可以知道,句子开头缺少的应该是引出时间状语 的介词,在四个选项中,只有选项C可用于动词的现在分词前,引出时间状语。 [避错指南] 选项A和选项B都是“通过……(方式)”的意思,用于引出方式状语,选项D意为“在……”,虽然也可以引出时间 状语,如in the moring等,但in通常不用于动词的现在分词前表时间。
7. Not until yesterday ______ anything about the new advertising campaign.
A.I learned
B.have I learned
C.did I learn
D.that I learned
A B C D
C
[译文] 直到昨天我才得知新的广告活动内容。 [解析] 本题考查not until引起的主谓倒装。Not until作为否定词放在句子开头,通常引起句子主语和谓语的倒 装,在四个选项中,选项B和选项C都属于“倒装”。由表时间的关键词yesterday,可得知要用过去时态。 因此,本题空格处应为一般过去时的倒装形式,由此可见,本题应选C。 [避错指南] 倒装句主要有两种:①全倒装,即将句子中的谓语动全部置于主语之前,这种倒装句通常因为here, there,now,then,thus 等副置于句首或表示运动方向的副词或地点状语置于句首而引起,如In front of me sat an old woman.(我的前面坐着一位老妇人。)②半倒装,即将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态倒装至主语之前,如果句中的谓语没有 助动词或情态动词,则需要添加助动词词do,does或did等,如本题就是一个半倒装句。引起半倒装句的信号词有only,so(表示“……也一样”时), 否定词(如,not,never,nor,neither等)和半否定词(如hardly,seldom,scarely等)。
8. Miss Smith's assistant enjoys ______ for her although she treats him very strictly.
Section B Directions: There are 10 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. I have received an (invite) ______ to speak at an international conference.
4. Most of the new models displayed in the car exhibition (design) ______ in Germany a few years ago.
were designed
[解析] 这次车展上大多数的新型号都是几年前在德国设计的。 [解析] 本题考查被动语态及动词时态。本题主语为复数名词most of the new models,空格为本题谓语,most of the new models与所提供的动词design应构成被动关系,而根据句末的…ago可知本题谓语时态为一 般过去时,因此,空格应为design的被动语态的一般过去式were designed。 [避错指南] 在确定空格处需要填入谓语动词后,需综合考虑动词的时态、语态及主谓一致(即主语是单数还是复 数)等问题。
5. Thomas was (cheer) ______ and good-natured, and we soon became good friends.
8. Companies are legally required (keep) ______ records of all their financial transactions.
to keep
[解析] 法律要求各家公司都必须保留其财务交易记录。 [解析] 本题考查require sb.to do(要求某人去做某事)的结构。require sb.to do sth.也可以转化为被动形式 sb.be required to do sth,(如本句),其中的不定式to do…为补足语,由此结构可见,本句require后的动 词应为动词不定式,因此,本题空格应为keep的不定式形式to keep。 [避错指南] 与require用法相同的动词还有advise,allow,ask,hear,beg,cause,command,encourage,expect,for-bid,force,get,bate,help,intend,invite,leave,like,mean,need.oblige,order,permit,persuade,prefer,request, remind,teach,tell,trouble,want,warn,wish等,简单来说,它们都可用于v.+sb.to do的结构,不定式to do做 补足语。
9. Before (apply) ______ for a working holiday visa, you should read the information on the United Kingdom Working Holiday page.
applying
[解析] 在你申请工作假期签证前,必须先阅读“英国工作假期”那一页上的信息。 [解析] 本题考查介词后宾语的形式。本题开头的before为引出时间状语的介词,介词后应为名词或动词的-ing 形式,因此,本题填写动词apply的动名词形式applying。 [避错指南] 不管介词单独使用,还是出现存名词词组、动词词组或形容词词组里,其后都应为名词或动词的-ing形 式,如have confidence in sth./doing(有信心去做……),insist on sth./doing(坚持做),be keen on sth./doing (喜欢做……)等等。
10. At the meeting I made some proposals, but no one seemed to be (interest) ______ in them.
interested
[解析] 在会议上,我提出了好些建议,但似乎没有人对它们感兴趣。 [解析] 本题考查动词和形容词的转化。空格前的be表明空格处应为形容词,动词interest可对应两个形容词: interested和interesting,在本题中,根据上下文的内容可知空格处应为“对……感兴趣”的意思,因此,应 选用interested。另外,在搭配上,我们有be interested in sth.这一固定词组,但没有be interesting in sth. 的搭配。 [避错指南] 有些动词的现在分词和过去分词都可用作形容词,如本题中的interest interesting(有趣的)—inter-ested(感兴趣的)。现在分词和过去分词作为形容词的时候会有语态和时态的不同。表示情感的及物动词如excite discourage;disappoint,encourage,inspire,interest,move,please,puzzle,surpise,worry等,在转化为分词形容词 时,分词主要体现了语态的不同。现在分词有主动意味,含有“具有令人……的特性”的意思;而过去分词有被动意味,含有“受到影响而感到……”的意思。而另一方面,由不及物动词转化而成的分词作形容词时,则体现了时态的 不同。现在分词表示该动作正在进行,而过去分词表示该动作已经完成。
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 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. When it comes to human resources, hiring highly-skilled staff is not usually enough for a company to function successfully. Besides the knowledge in their particular fields, employees must always have additional skills --those of co-operation. In the case that work tasks can only be carried out by communicating with people, accepting common decisions, solving problems, sharing information and helping one another, teamwork skills are vital. While some jobs may require talent, the ability to work as a team is learned. There are no complicated formulas; you don't need to have any special qualities or exceptional mental abilities. Individuals can be effective as a team if they have developed certain behaviors or habits of communication. Many companies, clubs and organizations use team building activities. Team building activities may include a number of teamwork elements. They are aimed at encouraging active participation in task accomplishment while all members have their roles as individuals and are able to co-operate towards a common goal as a team. Many team building activities focus on problem solving and discussing team issues; thus argument as a way to common consensus (共识) is encouraged. Team building activities often involve recognition and identification of team member skills, talents, knowledge, and experiences which allow the team members to learn more about each other and fully utilize those skills where appropriate. Many team activities are focused on developing keys to trust during challenging times.
1. In the author's opinion, which of the following is vital for a company to be successful?
2. According to the second paragraph, co-operation skills ______.
A.require special qualities and abilities
B.are learned while working in a team
C.need exceptional mental abilities
D.are quite complicated to learn
A B C D
B
事实细节题。本题要求找到与第2段对“团队合作技巧”的描述相符的选项。题干中的co-operation skill与第2段第1句提到的the ability to work as a team 同义,而原文表明“团队合作技巧”是后天学习的,因此,本题应选C。 [避错指南] 根据第2段第2句中的后一个分句的内容可将选项A(要求有特别的技巧和能力)和选项C(需要超凡 的思考能力)排除;选项D(学习的过程很复杂)没有原文依据,原文并没有提到团队合作技巧的学习过程是难还是 容易。
4. Why are team members encouraged to argue in team building activities?
A.To come to an agreement.
B.To identify their own skills.
C.To learn more about the company.
D.To build up their own confidence.
A B C D
A
事实细节题。本题询问在团队建设活动中鼓励员工相互争论的目的。最后一段第1句里第2个分句中的 argument as a way to common consensus表明争论的目的是为了使员工之问达成一致的看法,选项A与此 意思相同,故为本题答案。 [避错指南] 选项B(使员工清楚自己有什么技能)、选项C(了解公司的情况)和选D(使员工变得自信)都与“argument(争论)”一词无关。
5. What is the best title of the passage?
A.Team Building
B.Problem Solving
C.Communication Skills
D.Company Management
A B C D
A
主旨大意题。本题询问最适合全文的标题是什么。文章第1段最后一句指出teamwork skills are vital(团队 合作的技能尤为重要),接下来的第2段和第3段围绕的内容仍然是“团队合作”和“团队建设活动”,由此可 见,全文的巾心内容应为“团队合作”/“团队建设”,因此,本题应选A。 [避错指南] 选项B(如何解决问题)与选项C(交际技巧)是原文提到的某些细节,不是“主题”,故均不能选;选项D 意为“公司的管理”,“团队合作”虽然也属于加强公司管理的一种方法,但“公司管理”这个话题显然比“团队合作” 的范围大得多,因此可以说,选项D过大过泛。
Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45. Fairway Kenwood is a quality Private Hire Car Service company. The company has a long and established service history with over a quarter of a century of experience in private car hire, catering (满足需要) for clients' transport requirements.

1. Fairway Kenwood is a company that
A.has a history of nearly a century
B.sells various vehicles to clients
C.provides private car hire service
D.enjoys a good name in the car industry
A B C D
C
事实细节题。本题询问Fairway Kenwood是一家怎么样的公司。第1段第1句明确指出它是一家Private Hire Car Setvice company(私人汽车租赁公司),由此可见,C为本题答案。 [避错指南] 第1、段第2句提到该公司拥有超过25年的历史,选项A(拥有将近百年的历史)显然与原文不符;原文 提到该公司的业务范围是“汽车租赁”,而不是汽车“销售”,因此,选项B(销售各种汽车)的说法不正确;同样,选项 D中的car industry(汽车制造业)也不正确,该公司只提供汽车租赁,本身并不生产汽车。
2. The company's vehicles are equipped with ______.

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions: This part, numbered 61 through 65, is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese. After each of the sentences numbered 61 to 64, you will read four choices of suggested translation. You should choose the best translation and mark the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet. And for the paragraph numbered 65, write your translation in the corresponding space on the Translation/Composition Sheet.
1. All of the information that you need to apply for your visa is available, free of charge, from WorldBridge's website, our commercial partner.
A.你申请签证所需要的一切证明材料全部都由我们的贸易网站WorldBridge向你提。
B.你申请签证明不要忘了向我们的贸易网站WorldBridge提全部所需要的个人信息。
C.你申请签证所需要的全部免费材料都可以从我们的商业网站WorldBridge随时索取。
D.你申请签证所需要的全部信息可从我们商业合作伙伴WorldBridge的网站上免费获取。
A B C D
D
[解析] 本句的复杂之处在于:主语All of the information后有一个定语从句,将句子的主语和谓语部分is available分隔开了,而整个谓语部分is available from WorldBridge's website又被插入的状语free of charge分隔开了,另外句末的our commercial panner是WorldBridge's website的同位语,在翻译的时候, 该同位语应放回到WorldBridge's website的前面。综合上述分析,选项D的译文最贴近原文意思,为最佳 答案。其次是选项C,该项对free of charge的位置理解有误,在原句中,free of charge是用于补充说明 is available的状语,应理解为“(所有资料)免费提供”,而选项C将free of charge当作了句子主语的定 语,翻译为“免费的资料”。选项A漏译了free of charge,也漏译了句末的panner一词。选项B的错误最 为严重。因为原句表明“WorldBridge's website会向你提供信息”,而选项B却将这个逻辑对象关系完全倒 转了过来,译为了“你得向WorldBridge's website提供信息”。
2. If you can't afford to pay rent in advance, there are two types of loan you may be able to get from the social fund.

[解析] 本句是一个含if引导的条件状语从句的复合句,在主句中,还含有一个修饰two types of loan的定 语从句,定语从句和先行词的关系可还原为get two types of loan from the social fund。根据以上的分 析,选项C的译文最贴近原文,为最佳答案。选项B对条件从句的翻译没错,但在翻译主句部分时,没有 理清其中定语从句和先行词two types of loan的关系,将“从社会基金中获得两种贷款”这一逻辑反过来 译为了“从两类社会基金中获得贷款”。同样,选项A也没有理清主句中two types of loan和the social fund的关系,并且漏译了条件从句中的rent一词。选项D不但漏译了rent一词,而且将in advance(提前) 错译为了(不按时),另外,原句是一个肯定句,而选项D却无中生有地将主句译成了否定句。

[解析] 本句包含了一个由whose引出的非限制性定语从句,whose的先行词应为an elected board of directors(选出的董事会)。另外,句中的被动语态谓语…are determined by…(由……决定)的正确翻译也 是关键。综合以上分析来看,选项B为最佳答案。选项A将strategies译为“规划”,不够准确;另外,原句中 的elected是修饰“董事会”的定语,不用于说明他们制定公司目标和策略时的方法,由此可见,选项A中 的“由董事会投票决定”不正确。选项C虽然将被动语态的谓语翻译成了主动语态,但总算保留了be determined by的意思,该选项不妥的地方在于将strategies错译为“规则”,还漏译了董事会的职责:to make major policy decisions(做出重大决策)。与选项C相比,选项D不但没有将被动语态表达出来,还 将动词determine(决定)的被动语态形式当作了形容词determined(决心);而且,该选项中的“采取措施” 是对make major policy decisions的错译。

[解析] 本文用于指引病人更改或取消与医生的约诊时间。原文虽然较多复杂句,但逻辑关系并不复杂,而 且措辞比较简洁,翻译时力求还原原文功能,行文要通顺道地。如第1句的主句it is important that…,如 果直译为“……很重要”的话,而全句泽为“尽快让我们知道很重要”,这样的说法不符合中文的习惯。在 第1句中,it is important that是为了强调以下是一个注意事项,翻译时应注意其强调功能,而不能只翻 译其词义,因此,该句最好翻译为“请务必……”。第2句开头的This will enable us…也是一个重点,如果 直译为“这使我们能够……”,虽然没有译错,但不符合中文的行文习惯,应将this和“我们能够”分开,译 为:这样,我们就能够……,这样更通顺,读起来不生硬。第二段原文将目的状语放在开头,起到强调的作 用,但在中文中,目的通常应置于全句末尾,因此,将此句翻译为“为了取消或更改你预约的时间,请选用 以下两种方式”显然不如译为“请选用以下两种方式取消或更改你预约的时间”好。
