(Student's sample) It is important for us to have a good health. I have three ways to keep fit. Firstly, we should have our breakfast, lunch and dinner on time. Secondly, sports exercises are necessary for everyone, and we can do some sports in every day's afternoon. And the last point, we should keep a positive attitude and a good mood in everyday. (Improved sample) There are various ways for us to keep fit. Firstly, we should eat the three meals at a fixed time and have a balanced diet. Secondly, we should do some sports in the afternoon every day. But perhaps the best way is to have a positive frame of mind even when we are faced with difficulties or setbacks.

Air Travel in the USA
Air services in the USA are generally excellent and relatively inexpensive, and travel by air is a very convenient way of getting around such a large country. There are often cut-price arrangements that foreign visitors are able to get, especially if you book before you leave home, but these change from year to year, so you should check with a travel agent. There are also, from time to time, price-cutting wars and other competitive struggles between the different internal airlines, so it is sensible to make inquiries about what the best deals are at any given time. (American travel agents will know better about these. ) It may well be that some airlines are offering better prices or better arrangements than others for the particular journey you want to make. Note that in America a return ticket is called a "round-trip" ticket, and a single ticket is called "one-way" ticket. Major Internal Airlines The major airlines for internal flights include American Airlines, Continental, Delta, Eastern, Northwest Orient, Unite and Western. Airlines covering smaller areas of the country include Frontier (the West), Ozark (Midwest), Pacific (West Coast), Republic (the South and Midwest), Texas, and US Air (the Northeast). American Airports American airports are organized on a rather different basis from those in China. For obvious reasons the international sections are very small, and the domestic sections, which normally include flights to Canada and Mexico, are very large by comparison. The airports are organized by different airlines; each has not only separate check-in desks but also separate gates, lounges or even terminals. It is especially important, therefore, to know which airline you are flying with. At American airports it is very often possible for people who are not traveling themselves to accompany passengers on domestic flights right to the departure gate, provided that they also pass through the security check. Similarly, arriving flights can be met right at the gate. Baggage Allowance Baggage regulations are the same as for international flights, and passengers are allowed to take free of charge two pieces of luggage, (each weighing no more than 70 pounds or 32 kilos) if the length + height + width of one does not exceed 65 inches (1.65 meters). Check-In When you check in at an airport you can request a smoking or a nonsmoking seat. However, current American law requires that everybody who wants a nonsmoking seat must be given one. In other words, the nonsmoking sections on planes must be made larger enough in order to meet the needs of everyone who wants this type of seating. And even in smoking sections it is not permitted to smoke cigars or pipes. It is very possible to check in for a flight at the departure gate if you are taking only hand baggage. Service on Board Some internal flights are long -- it takes seven or eight hours to fly from Seattle to Miami, for example, and five and a half hours to fly from Los Angeles to Boston. Service on longer flights is very much like that on international flights. Passengers are provided with meals, drinks and films. The longer flights usually offer first class and tourist rates while short flights often make no difference in fares.
1. It's advisable for a passenger to consult some American travel agents in order to get an airline ticket at a better price.
5. One that wishes to have a seat in the nonsmoking section is not always satisfied.
N
副标题Check-In下第二句:美国法律规定任何要求无烟区座位的人都应该得到座位。与题意不符。
6. People working at American airports are mostly very efficient and helpful.

[解析] 26-28 Nothing was going right for Dr Turner at the hospital. He made a mistake while operating on a patient. He felt sure he was no longer trusted and decided to change his job. One day he learned from the paper that a doctor was looking for a partner. The doctor, whose name was Johnson, lived in Thorby, a small town in the north of England. A few days later Dr Turner went to Thorby, and arrived at Dr Johnson's home early in the afternoon. Though old and a little deaf, Dr Johnson still had a good brain. He kept talking to the visitor about the town and its people. When they turned to the question of partnership, it was already seven in the evening. Dr Johnson invited Dr Turner to have dinner with him in a restaurant before catching the train back to London. Dr Turner noticed that Dr Johnson was fond of good food and expensive wines. They had an excellent meal. When the bill was brought, Dr Johnson felt in his pocket, "Oh, dear," he said, "I've forgotten my money." "That's all right," Dr Turner said, "I'll pay the bill." As he did so he began to wonder whether Dr Johnson was worthy of trust. 26. Why did Dr Turner decide to leave his present job?

Passage Two Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 29-31 Taxes are a big part in the United States. Most Americans pay city taxes, state taxes, social security taxes, sales taxes and the list seems endless. The biggest tax for most Americans is that on the money they earn -- the income tax. The personal income tax is called a "progressive tax" because it takes more from those who earn more. For example, a person who earns about 3,500 dollars a year will pay a tax of only about 3.5 % of earning, but if the same person earned 85,000 dollars a year, he would pay an income tax of 35%. Over the years the income tax has become more and more difficult for people to understand. Almost one half of all Americans now have to pay experts to prepare their tax reports, and in fact, preparing taxes and giving tax advice have become a big industry in America. 29. From whom is the social security tax collected?
5.
A.It's the tax collected for social progress.
B.It's the tax that increases with each passing year.
C.It's the tax that is collected from those who earn most.
D.It's the tax that varies according to how much money a person earns.
A B C D
D
[解析] What is a "progressive tax"?
6.
A.Because the list of taxes seems endless.
B.Because they would rather spend their time and energy elsewhere.
C.Because they are unable to write tax report all by themselves due to their limited knowledge about taxes.
D.Because paying experts to prepare their tax report and asking for tax advice have become very popular.
A B C D
C
[解析] Why do almost one half of all Americans have to pay experts?
Passage Three Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 32-35 People enjoy taking trips, but what are the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because they want to broaden their horizons to learn about other people and other places. They are curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson. On a trip, a person can learn directly -- by visiting museums and historic spots. What does a tourist learn who sees the art museums, visits the historical palaces and other scenic spots in Paris, and shops along the River Seine? He gets a vivid picture -- a real-life one of the French people. He learns about their attitudes, how they feel about business, beauty and history. What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? He might read that Hong Kong is crowded, that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person, but seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway, but the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside will be a much more vivid lesson. The tourist to Hong Kong will never forget the contrasts -- the straight vertical lines of the tall modern buildings and the moving lines of boats that people live in. 32. Why do people leave home to travel according to the passage?
8.
A.There are 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway.
B.It has a dense population.
C.There are many museums and palaces.
D.It has many towering buildings.

B.It possesses many historical sites.
C.It is an important industrial center.
D.It has many big and beautiful parks.
A B C D
A
[解析] What impression will a tourist get of Hong Kong?
10.
A.It helps develop our personalities.
B.It enables us to acquire first-hand knowledge.
C.It makes our life more interesting.
D.It brings about changes in our lifestyle.
A B C D
B
[解析] What does the passage tell us about traveling?

Passage One In New York, there is now a school with no daily lessons, no class teachers, not even a school building! The "school" is a new project. It is called "City-as-School" and the name means just that: city itself is the place where 350 students, between the ages of 15 and 18, learn their lessons. Students choose areas of work which interest them and then they help to do that work. For instance, one girl spends her week in the offices of a Congress woman, helping the public with problems such as pensions, housing, etc. Then she goes to help in a theatre for a day and she spends one day a week taking first-year courses at college. City-as-School is six years old. The education system in New York accepts it now, as an alternative to final years at school. But can it replace ordinary lessons? Students have to pass maths and science exams before they enter the "school". These subjects are not easy to provide for in "City-as-School". Teachers monitor the progress of the students. 80% to 85% of the students go to college after their time at "City-as-School". The success rate is high. And the students are enthusiastic about their "school". They like the responsibility of their work, and the sense of purpose it gives them. And they do know a lot about different kinds of work in the city!

Passage Two Have you ever found your mind a million miles away while someone was making a speech at a meeting? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time. Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illness. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, said, "Daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experience, and plan for our futures ... Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life." Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand, it's easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by examining your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations on your life and find out a possible way of handling them. Daydreams cannot be predicted; they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams are a main source of creative energy.
1. Daydreaming used to be considered ______.
A.very simple and direct
B.unimportant or even harmful
C.a necessary part of thinking
D.none of the above
A B C D
B
细节题。见第二段第一句Early experts in psychology paid…even considered them harmful(早期的心理学专家对白Et梦的重要性不加理会,甚至认为其有害)。B项是正确答案。
2. In what way are daydreams different from sleep dreams?
A.Daydreams are easier for us to understand.
B.Daydreams are not so easy for us to control and direct.
C.Daydreams help us to handle more difficult situations.
D.Daydreams help to develop an unconscious mind.
A B C D
A
细节题。见第三段段首Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand(白日梦通常简单直接,它们与难以捉摸的睡梦是不同的)。所以,A项“白日梦容易理解”是正确的。
3. Professor Eric Klinger believes that ______.
A.we may study our experiences just through our daydream
B.daydreaming is one of the important ways that we recognize others' lives
C.we should be able to tell our futures by having daydreams
D.our fears and desires in life are shown in our daydreams
A B C D
D
细节题。见第二段第四句Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, said, "…Daydreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life." (心理学教授Eric Klinger说道:白日梦确实是反映我们生活中所恐惧和期待的事物的一扇窗户)。D项最为接近原义,故为正确选择。
4. The writer of the passage thinks that ______.
A.daydreaming is considered harmful to health
B.daydreams are more helpful than sleep dreams
C.daydreaming with an unconscious mind will do good to health
D.many artists and scientists are famous because they have daydreams
A B C D
B
推断题。作者在第三段中指出It's easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by examining your sleep dreams carefully(密切关注你的白日梦比注意你的睡梦更能使你对自己的生活有深刻的了解),以此可推断出B项“作者认为白日梦比睡梦更有帮助”是正确答案。
5. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Daydreaming was once regarded as a cause of some mental illness.
B.Scientists believe that we can know daydreams before having them.
C.Many well-known artists gained energy of creation from daydreams.
D.Experts began to have a better understanding of daydreams in the late 1980s.
A B C D
B
细节题。A项的“白日梦曾被认为可导致某些精神疾病”在第二段第二句At one time daydreaming…some mental illness 句中有所体现;C选项的“许多知名艺术家从白日梦中获得了创造力”接近于文章最后一句For many…source of creative energy(对许多著名艺术家来说,白日梦是他们创造力的主要源泉);D项“20世纪80年代晚期起,专家们对白日梦有了更深入的了解”等同于第二段第三句They did not…until the late 1980s。B项“科学家认为我们在做白日梦之前就可了解它们”与文章中提到的“我们可以通过密切关注白日梦更深入地了解生活中的问题”相反,故B项不是文中提到的内容,为本题的正确选择。
