Passage Two Questions 25 to 30 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 25-30 You will hear part of a local radio programme in which someone is talking about a shopping centre． Presenter：Thank you，David．To finish today’s programme．I want to tell you about the Waterside Shopping Centre，near Northport which I visited last week．It has something for everyone and I would recommend it for a day out．It’s taken three years to build and finally opened three weeks ago．two months later than planned． Firstly，getting there；there aye organized coach trips from most towns in the area but they leave early and come home very late，so I drove．There are 12，000 free parking spaces，so parking is no problem． You can also get there by train，but the station is 15 minutes from Waterside by bus，and the buses are really crowded，so you sometimes have a long wait． One thing to remember is that the shops don’t open till 10：00 in the morning except on Saturday when they open at 9:00．So don’t get there too early on a weekday．They close at 8 o'clock every day except Friday when they’re open until 9 pm． The shopping centre is arranged on three levels．You’ll find all your favourites here．In fact if you want to buy a pair of shoes there are 15 different shops to choose from on levels one and two．When you run out of money there are seven different banks，but collect your money before you get to the third level as there aren’t any banks up there．On that level，however，there are several restaurants，as well as a cinema with seven screens．And don’t get lost like I did，go to the information desk on the first level and get a map． Before you go back to your car or the bus——and in fact it might be better to do this before you go shopping and have too much to carry—go and see the lake．Take a walk or have a go at fishing，sailing or windsurfing if you have time．Or you can rest your tired feet and watch the birds and ducks，but you are asked not to feed them． Although I had a good day，I would complain about one thing，but not the usual thing—the service in the shops was good and I had an excellent lunch in a cafe．No．the silly thing was that everywhere was quite clean but people were dropping their fast—food boxes and empty drink cans on the ground because there wasn’t anywhere else to throw them．Apart from that．1 would recommend it．And so that’s all for today’s programme．

Section A Multiple Choice Directions:There is one passage in this section with 5 questions. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. I was dirty, smelly, hungry and somewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end of an Inter-Rail holiday. My body couldn't take any more punishment. My mind couldn't deal with any more foreign timetables, currencies or languages. "Never again," I said, as I stepped onto home ground. I said exactly the same thing the following year. And the next. All I had to do was buy one train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years old, I could spend a whole month going anywhere I wanted in Europe. Ordinary beds are never the same once you've learnt to sleep in the corridor of a train, the rhythm rocking you into a deep sleep. Carrying all your possessions on your back in a rucksack makes you have a very basic approach to travel, and encourages incredible wastefulness that can lead to burning socks that have become too anti-social, and getting rid of books when finished. On the other hand, this way of looking at life is entirely in the spirit of Inter-Rail, for common sense and reasoning can be thrown out of the window along with the paperback book and the socks. All it takes to achieve this carefree attitude is one of those tickets in your hand. Any system that enables young people to travel through countries at a rate of more than once a day must be pretty special. On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unaware of the possibilities of this type of train ticket, thinking it was just an inexpensive way of getting to and from our chosen camp-site in southern France. But the idea of non-stop travel proved too tempting, for there was always just one more country over the border, always that little bit further to go. And what did the extra miles cost us? Nothing. We were not completely uninterested in culture. But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other Inter-Railers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything except the most immediately available sights. This was the chance to escape the guided tour, an opportunity to do something different. I took great pride in the fact that, in many places, all I could be bothered to see was the view from the station. We were just there to get by, and to have a good time doing so. In this we were no different from most of the other Inter-Railers with whom we shared corridor floors, food and water, money and music. The excitement of travel comes from the sudden reality of somewhere that was previously just a name. It is as if the city in which you arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the station and you are able to see it with your own tired eyes for the first time. Questions:
1. At the end of his first trip, the writer said "Never again" because ______.
A.he felt ill
B.he disliked trains
C.he was tired from the journey
D.he had lost money

Section C Short Answer Questions Directions:In this section,, there are 2 passages followed by 10 questions or unfinished statements. Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Going to the beach is many Americans' favorite activity. In the area near New York City, nine million people used to go to the beach every summer. They went swimming in the ocean without giving a thought to what was underwater. But those days are long gone. In the summer of 1988, the government was forced to shut down beaches all over America. Many of the beaches had to be closed because garbage from hospitals was found in the water. The garbage included glass bottles with samples of blood, and people were afraid they might get AIDS from the blood. Where the medical garbage came from is anybody's guess. At some beaches, sewage(生活污水) was found in the water. Americans were shocked by this state of affairs. They had long taken for granted that oceans were big enough to stay clean, even if garbage and sewage were dumped into them. People didn't think of the underwater garbage because it was out of sight. Some of the most polluted waters still look beautiful at first glance. San Francisco Bay is a good example of a beautiful bay that's full of chemicals. Scientists discovered pollution in some lakes and rivers when they found fish with rotting skin. In many parts of America, people are told not to eat too much fish because of pollution. Most American cities put their garbage in the ground. But New York and a few other cities put their garbage in the ocean. Boston Harbor is so polluted that scientists say it won't recover until the next century at best. The city of Boston puts its sewage in the water. The government has ordered the city to built a sewage treatment plant. Cleaning up oceans won't be easy, but people can no longer ignore this challenge. Questions :
1. Most Americans used to go to the beach because of ______.
swimming
逻辑推理题。(Line 1，Para.1)Going to the beach is many Americans’favorite activity．去海 边是美国人最喜欢做的一项活动，在海边他们可以游泳。

There are cockroaches(蟑螂) everywhere on Earth except the places that are covered with ice. Scientists have discovered about 3,500 different species of cockroach. There is just one human species! Cockroaches can be anything in size from about five mm to nine era. Although five mm is very small, nine cm is as long as a large rat. It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches. They "see" with the hairs on their bodies. These hairs can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and run to safety. Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the German, the Oriental, and the American. One egg case of the German cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months! Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases. They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds of hospital waste or get it on their bodies. They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital. Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the stomachs of cockroaches, so it is important that cockroaches should be kept out of restaurants and other places where food is prepared. Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it, the cockroaches "learn'' how to deal with it. Electricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most poisons or "learn" how to deal with others. At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it does us. It seems probable that when there are no longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be here. Questions:
6. Cockroaches do not live in places where it is ______.
too cold
逻辑推理题。(Lines 1～2，Para.1)There are cockroaches everywhere on Earth except the places that are covered with ice．蟑螂无所不在，除了冰雪覆盖之地。说明太冷的地方不会有蟑螂。

Section D Summary Directions:In this part, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Cosmetics have been used throughout history. The ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, and the Romans all used various kinds of makeup. Some of these cosmetics were used to improve their appearance. Others were used to protect their skin. But in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous, or even deadly! Some of the first skin care treatments started in Egypt. In fact, Cleopatra was known to use them. She thought a bath in milk and honey left her skin silky smooth. Egyptians also developed some of the earliest sunscreens. They used oils and creams for protection against the sun and dry winds. Egyptian and other ancient cultures also used various powders on their skin for beauty. Egyptians used black kohl around their eyes. Romans put white chalk on their faces. And Indians painted red henna on their bodies. Most of the ancient cosmetic powders, oils, and creams were harmless. But in the name of beauty, some people applied dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin. During the Italian Renaissance, women wore white powder made of lead on their faces. Of course, doctors now know lead is like a poison for our bodies. Also around the time of the Renaissance, women in Italy put drops of belladonna in their eyes. Belladonna is a very poisonous plant. The poison in the plant affects the nerves in the body. By putting belladonna drops in her eyes, a woman's pupils would become very large. People thought this made her more beautiful. Actually, this is why the plant is called belladonna. In Italian, belladonna means "beautiful woman". When Elizabeth I was queen of England in the late 1500s, some rather dangerous cosmetics were also used by women there. Women were using rouge made with mercury. They were also using special hair dye made with lead and sulphur. The dye was designed to give people red hair, the same color as the queen's hair. Over time, the dye made people's hair fall out. Finally, women using this dye ended up bald, like the queen, and had to wear wigs. Summary : Although people have used cosmetics throughout history, not all of them have been safe. In fact, some of them have been quite 1 to people. For example, long ago in Italian 2 , people thought women with big pupils were beautiful. Therefore, in the 3 of beauty, women began to put 4 of belladonna in their eyes to make their pupils larger. Today we know belladonna is poisonous, and it can affect the 5 in the body.

Section A English-Chinese Translation Directions:Translate the underlined sentences of the .following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. In such a changing, complex society, formerly simple solutions to informational needs become complicated. (91) Many of life's problems which were solved by asking family members, friends or colleagues are beyond the capability of the extended family to resolve. Where to turn for expert information and how to determine which expert advice to accept are questions facing many people today. In addition to this, there is the growing mobility of people since World War Ⅱ. (92) As families move away from their stable community, their friends of many years, and their extended family relationships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable. The almost unconscious flow of information about the simplest aspects of living can be cut off. Thus, things once learned subconsciously through the casual communications of the extended family must be consciously learned. Adding to social changes today is an enormous stockpile of information. (93) The individual now has more information available than any generation, and the task of finding that one piece of information relevant to his or her specific problem is complicated, time-consuming and sometimes even overwhelming. Coupled with the growing quantity of information is the development of technologies which enable the storage and delivery of more information with greater speed to more locations than has ever been possible before. Computer technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in machine readable files, and to program computers to locate specific information. (94) Telecommunications developments enable the sending of messages via television, radio, and very shortly, electronic mail, to bombard people with multitudes of messages. Satellites have extended the power of communications to report events at the instant of occurrence. Expertise can be shared worldwide through teleconferencing, and problems in dispute can be settled without the participants leaving their homes and / or jobs to travel to a distant conference site. Technology has facilitated the sharing of information and the storage and delivery of information, thus making more information available to more people. In this world of change and complexity, the need for information is of greatest importance. (95) Those people who have accurate, reliable up-to-date information to solve the day-to-day problems, the critical problems of their business, social and family life, will survive and succeed. "Knowledge is power" may well be the truest saying and access to information may be the most critical requirement of all people.
[解析] 本句的句式较为复杂，主句是the informal flow of information is cut off，前面的部分是一个as 引导的伴随/原因从句，而在主句后面的只是一个名词性的词组，其核心词是the confidence，前面的 with it是个介词结构修饰the confidence，后面的that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable只不过是the confidence的同位语，为了方便理解，我们也可以在句末的地方加一 个“is gone”，这样就可以把主句后面的部分理解为一个句子：The confidence is gone．另外注意and with it the confidence中的it指代的是整个主句the informal flow of information is cut off。
[解析] 本句由两个并列的子句构成，之间以and连接。前面的有一个more…than…的结构，而后 面的主干是the task is complicated，time-consuming，and sometimes even overwhelming。主语task后面的 介词of的宾语比较长。看清句子结构，可以把它一分为二，同时注意最后的三个形容词有一定的递进意味。另外注意that one piece of information中的that用来强调one piece of information。
4.
电信技术的发展使人们有可能通过电视、无线电以及快速的电子邮件铺天盖地般发送大量信息。
[解析] 本句的主语是telecommunications developments，谓语是enable，主要应该看清enable的宾语是两个并列成分：the sending of messages via television，radio和very shortly，electronic mails to bombard people with multitudes of messages。
Sometimes he had to tell lies in order not to make his parents worry about him．
[解析] 考点是in order to do(sth．)的否定用法，in order not to do，not置于order之后。 `
Part Ⅷ Writing
Task Ⅰ Directions:There is an error in an English magazine that you feel must be corrected. Write a letter to the editor to:
1. 1)point out the mistake; 2) suggest the correction ; 3) express your interest in the magazine. You should write about 120 words. Do not sign your own name at the end oJ" the letter. Use "Li Ming" instead. You do not need to write the address. Now write the letter on the Answer Sheet.
Dear’Editor， I，m a faithful reader of your magazine，and I have been regarding it as“an apple of my eye”．But when I read the latest issue．I found a mistake，which I think I should point out．On Page 9，the line goes“Roman was not built in a day．” In my opinion．the word“Roman”should be“Rome”．The sentence is in fact an old western proverb that has a relative fixed way of saying，that is，“Rome was not built in alone day．”Besides，the word“Roman”is an adjective．and should not be used as the subject of a sentence． And when“Roman”is used as a noun，it refers to the people of Rome．Thus．the subject of the sentence should be“Rome”． Anyway，despite the mistake，the magazine is enjoyable as usual．Reading it has become a part of my life， and t11e articles in it have broadened my horizon and enriched my life． Sincerely yours， Li Ming
Task Ⅱ Directions:Look at the following picture and write an article, which should meet the following two requirements:
1. 1) Interpret the message conveyed by the picture; 2) Make your comments on what is represented. Now write a composition of about 150 words on the Answer Sheet.
With China’s entry into WTO．1earning English is becoming an important thing in everyone’s mind?Just as the picture described，people，young and elder，male and female，go into training class with English books in their hands．Everyone，regardless of their background or occupation，all learn English for the preparation of entering into WTO． China，s entry into WTO．which is the milestone of our economic development，to a large extent depends on English．because many domestic companies would go out，while foreign companies may come in．English plays a crucial role when people communicate and exchange opinions with each other. English is becoming a global language. People use it to communicate regardless of their purposes, fields, or nationalities. Large population starts to consider it as a key to entering the world. Thus, we can definitely say that WTO boosts the English learning in China. Almost a decade ago, we tried hard to be a member of WTO, and now it has already become the reality. There is no doubt that in the predictable future, with so many people learning English in China, China will have a greater influence on the world market.
