Jones Beach Connecticut is beautiful in early June. The rolling hills are green and beckoning, the leaves on the trees full and deep. The land is fertile, washed and nourished by the spring rains; and in the rich soil of gardens, peas and carrots are appearing. The mornings are warm and clear, the sun rising early so that by midday you can get a taste of the summer heat that will follow in July and August. On a day like this, on a Wednesday morning in early June, it is possible to feel free; for school is over for the year and the summer lies ahead. And so, on this Wednesday morning, you get up early in the morning and go out for a drive in your car, because you like that, it's fun. You drive along a little country road, the top of your car down, and you feel the chili of the early morning air , as the wind blows all around you. You feel the chill in your neck and behind your ears, but the sun is getting higher in the sky; it will be warmer soon. You feel your hair being blown in a thousand directions, and that's fine. It's good to feel the long brown hair blowing around your ears, it's good sometimes to look down onto the road next to your car and see the shadow of the car, with you inside, and your hair blowing in the wind. You drive through patches of sunlight and shade; the air is dry, so you feel the difference. And you feel free, being free. It is hard to be free. It is probably one of the hardest things in the world, because the world doesn't leave much room for freedom. There isn't much space given you, there aren't many people around you who are free. Everyone has miles to go and things to do, and the world catches you up, it carries you along, it doesn't give you much room. But it's also so easy to be free. Being free is probably one of the easiest things in the world, too, only almost nobody realizes it. Because we are free: we were born free, we live free, and we will die free. Only we don't realize it. There is always so much going on, perhaps, always so much to do, that we never stop and look at what's happening. Until some day, some Wednesday morning in early June, when you get up in the morning when it's still chilly and you go for a drive in your car, along a country road, through little towns, past little homes and farmhouses, and suddenly you realize it, you know it: you are free, free always, free forever. That is all it takes. You like to drive, you like driving your little sports car with the top down, and that's all it takes. And you find yourself getting high, as. high as the sky, because it is wonderful to be there, in that time and in that place, and you would exchange it for none other. You feel elated just by driving, and you begin to think that maybe they're all wrong, maybe all the ones who have taught you are wrong. Because they've taught you that what goes up always comes down. That's physics, after all, that's science and knowledge, and when an apple falls from a tree, it's going to hit someone who's sitting beneath. That's the way things are. But you begin to wonder. Maybe things don't have to be that way. Maybe it's possible to go up and never come down, to stay up, to be always up, to be always elated. Maybe there is a place there, a place that the birds know, a place which men have reached for. Maybe it really does exist, and if you could find it you would never leave, you would never need to leave or want to leave, because the place is perfect and you feel wonderful there. So you drive along, out driving just for the fun of driving, and then maybe you say to yourself, "The hell with that place, things are fine here. I like it here. "For you feel good, there, feel good driving along, and you think you could probably feel good any place doing anything. The hell with the birds, let them have their place, because you've got yours, and you like it fine. The hell with wondering and worrying. School's out, it was out five days ago, you've passed your exams, so you don't need to worry again for three months. It's the summer now, the beginning of the summer. It's a beautiful day, and you don't need anything more. Except maybe a little music, so you turn on the radio. It's warmer now, it's just right, and the air that flows over these hills, past these homes and farmhouses, and down these country roads, the air is fresh and clean.
1. The author feels free because the summer vacation has just begun.
Y
[解析] 第二段提到" it is possible to feel flee" 是因为" school is over for the yea"，可见学期结束了；又说“the summer lies ahead”，可见是暑假，因此是因为暑假开始了。
2. "The world catches you up" ( Para 3 ) means that you are trying to achieve the impossible things by trying to be free.
N
[解析] 第三段提到"everyone has miles to so and things to do"，说明每个人都有很多路要走，很多事要做；又提到“it doesn't give you much room"，即没有给你太多的时间或空间，所以此义并不是指为了自由而去尝试不可能的事。
3. We are fully aware of freedom because we were born free, we live free and we will die free:
N
[解析] 第三段反复提到"only almost nobody realizes it", "only we don't realize it"其中it指freedom，说明我们其实生时自由，生活自由，死亦自由，但我们却没意识到，故此判断错误。
4. The author feels it is a beautiful day, though it is windy, because he/she has passed his/her exams.
Y
[解析] 从第二段得知“the wind blows all around you"，因此说"windy"是正确的；最后一段提到“you've passed your exams so you don't need to worry...”，可见作者因为考试都过关了因此心情很舒畅，故此判断正确。
5. Almost nobody can conquer the hardest thing in the world nor realize the easiest thing in the world.
NG
[解析] 本文主要描述的是作者驾车去海滩时自由愉悦的心情，提到“自由”可能是"one of the hardest things in the world"，也可能是"one of the easiest things in the world"，但并未提到几乎没有人可以克服世上最难的事，也没有人意识到世上最简单的事。
6. You never doubt when an apple falls from a tree, it's going to hit the ground.
N
[解析] 倒数第二段提到"you begin to wonder"，"maybe things don't have to be that way"，说明"you"从现在开始要怀疑了，故此判断错误。
7. You're in such a good mood that you drive your car downtown.
8. The author says it's hard to be free because______.
you don't he we much room to be free
[解析] 第三段明确提到“it is hard to be free... because the world doesn't leave much room for feedom"。
9. Feelings as if you were ______best describes "getting high".
drunk or affected by drugs
[解析] 倒数第二段提到"as high as the sky"，这就好比喝醉了酒或在毒品的作用下飘飘欲仙，感到直冲云霄的兴奋。
10. The author describes the wonderful feeling of______ she has during driving to the beach on a morning in June.
freedom
[解析] 文中通篇都在描述作者通过考试后在驾车途中自由放松的心情，故文章的中心词应是“自由”。

M: There's a great planetarium at our natural history museum.— You might enjoy that. W: I don't know — I don't think I went to do that. The city I come from has a good planetarium.

Where is this conversation taking place?
[解题思路] 注意地点的把握。 [详细解答] 文中虽然听到了“art gallery”；“airport”；“conference”；但针对问题，都没有足够的证据，而选项D有足够的证据，因为对话开头是“You will be in Room 207．Here is your key，and…”，所以D是正确的。
2.

C.To change planes.
D.To go sightseeing.
A B C D
A
[解析] What does Ms．Cook imply that her main purpose was in coming to this town?
[解题思路] 注意对文章内容的分析，抓住关键点。 [详细解答] 虽然对话主要谈的是旅游观光的事宜，但这并不是Ms Cook此行的主要目的，因为对话中 Ms．Cook说“the conference I am attending…”。所以A是正确答案。
3.

B.It's not a very good one.
C.There' s one in her home town.
D.It will be closed when she's free.
A B C D

C.By air and by car.
D.By air and by bus.
A B C D

[解题思路] 从容易混淆的选项中辨认出正确答案。 [详细解答] 几个选项乍一看比较混乱，但细听后应选B，因为Ms．Cook说：“I rented a car at the airport，”；当被建议看到瀑布的标记时，可以步行一段路， Ms．Cook 说："That's sounds great."
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[解析] 23-25 W: Don, I hear you bought a new car. M: I did just buy a car, but it' s not exactly a new one— it was made back in the 1950's. Here, take a look at this photo. W: Wow, you're right— this car hasn't been new for a long time ! Couldn't you afford a newer car? M: Believe it or not, this car cost almost as much as a new one. W: Reatly? How could that be? M: Well, a lot of cars from the 40's, 50's, and 60's have become collectors' items and are worth a lot of money. W: But this one doesn't seem to be in very good shape. M: The engine is still in good condition. I plan to fix up the interior and to paint the car myself. Then it will be worth even more money. W: So then you'll re - sell it? M: No, I don't plan to re - sell it— but I might enter It in some classic auto shows. Maybe I'll win a prize. 23. Why did Don buy an older car?
[解题思路] 本题是关于买车的。 [详细解答] 细节题。A和D两个选项可根据所听的内容排除掉；文中有"in such a good condition"，但所指的是“engine”，而不是车本身。所以B选项也不对；文中提到许多旧车"have become collectors ’ item…"，故选C。

Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre
Passage One Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 26-29 It was not until one hundred and fifty years ago that scientists learned about the existence of dinosaurs. Thanks to an English doctor and his wife, the door was opened to this zoological study. Reasoning that these animals' tremendous size must have made them terrible creatures, scientists combined two Greek words, deimos, meaning terrible, and sauros, meaning lizards, to form the word dinosaur. After many years of study, they determined that these beasts roamed the earth for millions of years, and ceased to exist some sixty million years ago. Unbelievable as it may seem, not all dinosaurs were carnivorous, that is, meat eating. Many were herbivorous, or vegetarians. By reassembling the bones found at digging sites, scientists have been able to reconstruct the skeletons and learn great deal about the dinosaur's living conditions. They have learned that dinosaurs inhabited not only the land, but also the water and sky. 26．By what name did scientists call these creatures?
[解析] 30-32 Robert Edwards became blind in an car accident nine years ago. He was also partially deaf because of old age. Last week, he was taking a walk near his home when a thunderstorm approached. He hid under a tree and was struck by lightning. He was knocked to the ground and woke up some twenty minutes later, lying face down in bed. A short time later, he awoke; his legs were unfeeling and he was trembling, but, when he opened his eyes, he could see the clock across the room fading in and out in front of him. When his wife entered, he saw her for the first time in nine years. Doctors confirm the flash of lightning, but they are unable to explain the occurrence. The only possible explanation offered by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight as a result of injury in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way it could be restored was by another injury. 30．What was the first thing that he saw after being struck by lightning?
[解析] 33-35 In America, where labor costs are so high, "do it yourself " is a way of life. Many people repair their own cars, build their own garages, and even rebuild their own houses, Soon many of them will also be writing their own books. In Hollywood there is a company that publishes children's book with the help of computers. Although other book companies also publish that way, this company is not like the others. It allows the reader to become the leading character in the stories with the help of computers, Here is how they do it. Let us suppose the child is named Henry. He lives in New York, and has a god named Jody. The computer uses this information to make up a story with pictures.. The story' is then printed up. A child who receives such a book might say, "This book is about me." So the company calls itself the "Me-Books Publishing Company". Children like the Me-Books because they like to see in print their own names and the names of their friends and their pets. But more important, in this way, readers are much more interested in reading the stories. Me-Books are helping a child to learn how to read. 33．Why do Americans do most things themselves?

In some 1 centers, workaholism is so common that people do not 2 it unusual. They accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington, D. C. , for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don' t do this because they have to; they do it because they want to. Workaholism can be a serious 3 . Because true workaholics would rather work than do anything else, they probably don't know how to 4 ; that is, they might not enjoy movies, sports, or other types of entertainment. Most of all, they 5 to sit and do nothing. The lives of workaholics are usually stressful, and this tension and worry can cause health problems such as heart attacks or stomach ulcers. In addition typical workaholics don' t pay much 6 to their families. They spend little time with their children, and their marriages may end in divorce. Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps riot. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy arid interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment are the same thing. Their jobs 7 them with a challenge; this keeps them busy and creative. Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is important. But in offers more than financial security. It provides people with self-confidence; they have a feeling of 8 when they've produced a 9 piece of work and are able to say, "I made that." Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity; through participation in work, they get a sense of self - satisfaction and individualism.

Passage One Lacking a cure for AIDS, society must offer education, not only by public pronouncement but in classrooms. Those with AIDS or those at high risk of AIDS suffer prejudice, they are feared by some people who find living itself unsafe, while others conduct themselves with a "bravado (冒险心理)" that could be fatal. AIDS has afflicted a society already short on humanism, open-handedness and optimism. Attempts to strike it out with the offending microbe are not abetted (教唆) by pre-existing social ills. Such concerns impelled me to offer the first university-level undergraduate AIDS course, with its two important aims: To address the fact that AIDS is caused by a virus, not by moral failure or societal collapse. The proper response to AIDS is compassion coupled with an understanding of the disease itself. We wanted to foster(help the growth of) the idea of a humane society. To describe how AIDS tests the institutions upon which our society rests. The economy, the political system, science, the legal Establishment, the media and our moral ethical-philosophical attitudes must respond to the disease. Those responses, whispered, or shrieked, easily accepted or highly controversial, must be put in order if the nation is to manage AIDS. Scholars have suggested that how a society deals with the threat of AIDS describes the extent to which that society has the right to call itself civilized. AIDS, then, is woven into the tapestry (挂毯) of modem society; in the course of explaining that tapestry, a teacher realizes that AIDS may bring about changes of historic proportions. Democracy obliges its educational system to prepare students to become informed citizens, to join their voices to the public debate inspired by AIDS. Who shall direct just what resources of manpower and money to the problem of AIDS? Even more basic, who shall formulate a national policy on AIDS? The educational challenge, then, is to enlighten(启发) the individual and the societal, or public, responses to AIDS.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A.Why education must be offered about AIDS.
B.How to achieve the aims of AIDS courses.
C.Risks associeted with AIDS.
D.Social responses to AIDS.
A B C D
A
[解析] 本文主要是关于什么的? [试题分析] 本题要求掌握文章的大意。 [详细解答] 解答此题与确定中心思想的方法基本一致。读完全文以后，再将每小段的首尾句都放在一起看，基本上可确定文章的话题与要旨。 若每段首尾句主干放在一起，我们可以发现文章的要点构成的框架： Society must offer education (第一段首句) …Such concerns impelled me to offer the first university-level under- graduate AIDS course，with its two basic aims (第一段尾句)：To address the fact that AIDS is caused by a virus，… (第二段首句)。… We wanted to foster the idea of a humane society(第二段尾句)。To describe how AIDS tests the institutions upon which our society rests(第二小段首句)。…The educational challenge，then，is to enlighten the individual and the societal，or public，responses to AIDS． 这样，便很快明白原文主要说明“我”为什么开设AIDS课程，也用来说明第一句society must offer education about AIDS。
2. Why did the author offer the AIDS course?
A.He wanted to teach people about a cure for AIDS.
B.People need to be taught how to avoid those with AIDS.
C.He wanted to teach the students that AIDS resulted from moral failure.
D.People take improper attitudes towards AIDS and those with or at high risk of AIDS.
A B C D
D
[解析] 作者为什么要开设艾滋病课程? [试题分析] 本题要求了解作者的态度和意图。 [详细解答] 作者在文中第一小段说了他开设AIDS course的原因。此小段最后一句是：Such concerns impelled me to offer the first university-level undergraduate AIDS course．那么such concerns指什么呢?在该句之前有三句，讲了三点，其中第一点就是人们对AIDS 病人或有 AIDS病的风险的人有偏见，有些人又太随便(with a bravado)；这一点导致第二点：AIDS has afflicted a society。第三点是：并非早已存在的社会丑恶现象／病态教唆人们试图用有害的微生物去消灭艾滋病。暗示意思是说：人们这样做是有其深层的思想原因的。基于以上分析，结合文中第二、三小段，可以知道这一题答案是选项D，而不足选项A、B或C。
3. The word "afflict" in the third sentence of the first paragraph most probably means "______".
5. Which of the following can best explain "AIDS tests the institutions upon which our society rests" according to the passage?
A.AIDS is a sign of moral failure and social collapse.
B.AIDS indicates that our social systems have been very inefficient.
C.The responses of a society to the threat of AIDS determines whether and to what extent the society can be called civilized.
D.The spreading of the fatal disease suggests that the nation' s resources have been wrongly used.
A B C D
C
[解析] 根据本文，下面哪一句能够最好地解释"AIDS tests the institutions upon which our society rests"? [试题分析] 本题要求理解个别句子的意义，也理解上下文之间的逻辑关系。 [详细解答] 题干中引号部分出现在原文第三小段的第一句中。读者得先明白此句的意思：为了描述 AIDS如何考验我们的社会赖以存在的基本机构。文中后面的部分则说明这一句。此小段第四句(Scholars have suggested that how a society deals with the threat of AIDS describes the extent to which that society has the right to call it civilized．)意为：学者们提出，一个社会如何应付艾滋病的威胁表明该社会在何种程度上有权称为文明社会。有常识的读者都知道，一个社会如何应付某一问题取决于社会的基本部分或机构如何应付它。因而应将这一句与第三小段第二、三句联系起来。可以看出这些社会机构对AIDS的反应与how a society deals with the threats of AIDS是一同事。 那么，可以说第三小段第四句解释了题干中引号内的内容。 比较A。B、C、D四个选项，可知只有选项C与该句意思相同。C为答案。
Passage Two The idea of a fish being able to generate electricity strong enough to light lamp bulbs--or even to run a small electric motor--is almost unbelievable, but several kinds of fish are able to do this. Even more strangely, this curious power has been acquired in different ways by fish belonging to very different families. Perhaps the best known are the electric rays, or torpedoes(电鳐), of which several kinds live in warm seas. They possess on each side of the head, behind the eyes, a large organ consisting of a number of hexagonal shaped cells rather like a honeycomb. The cells are filled with a jelly-like substance, and contain a series of flat electric plates. One side, the negative side, of each plate, is supplied with very fine nerves, connected with a main nerve coming from a special part of the brain. Current passes from the upper, positive side of the organ downwards, to the negative, lower side. Generally it is necessary to touch the fish in two places, completing the circuit, in order to receive a shock. The strength of this shock depends on the size of the fish, but newly born ones only about 5 centime-tres across can be made to light the bulb of a pocket flashlight for a few moments, while a fully grown torpedo gives a shock capable of knocking a man down, and, if suitable wires are connected, will operate a small electric motor for several minutes. Another famous example is the electric eel. This fish gives an even more powerful shock. The system is different from that of the torpedo in that the electric plates run longitudinally(纵向) and are supplied with nerves from the spinal(脊骨) cord. Consequently, the current passes along the fish from head to tail. The electric organs of these fish are really altered muscles and like all muscles are apt (likely) to tire, so they are not able to produce electricity for very long. The power of producing electricity may serve these fish both for defence and attack.
1. It can be seen from the passage that______.
A.the capacity to generate electricity is the distinctive characteristic of the fish
B.the current travels in an upward direction from the positive side to negative side in torpedo's electric cells
C.some fish can produce enough electricity to drive a number of electric motors
D.the torpedo' s electric cells have a shape with six sides

将lies 改为lying。
[解析] 没有别的体育场位置能与伯纳贝乌体育场位置相媲美了，它位于卡斯特拉纳，位于穿越马德里市中心这条高速公路的二叉路口， [试题分析] 本题辨析主句与分词状语关系的误用。 [详细解答] lies as it does on the Castellana，虽然主语应该是Bernabeu，但由于前面Few football grounds boast a more prestigious address than the Bernabeu是比较级的句子，而且比较对象很明确：是Few football grounds 与the Bernabeu，而lies 的误用，导致了句子结构的混乱。鉴于 lies as it does…是对 the Bernabeu 的补充说明，故将lies攻为lying，使之与后面的句子变成状语，就解决了问题。
[解析] 尽管皇家马德里队的历史可追溯到1902年索西达德马里足球俱乐部队成立之时，但是直到1920年，俱乐部才被允许在其名字之前冠以“皇家”二字。 [试题分析] 本题辨析连接词的误用。 [详细解答] Real date back to 1920 与it was not until 1920 that the club was granted permission to use the Realprefix之间的逻辑关系应是转折关系，而as的误用导致了关系的混乱。改为表示转折的Though/ Although。
[解析] 新建体育场的巨大耗资引起了许多传言，还说皇家马德里队曾接受过佛朗哥政府的资助，但从未得到证实。 [试题分析] 本题辨析做状语时，分词的误用。 [详细解答] never proving 是主句 The cost of the new stadium led to claims 的分词状语，proving 的逻辑主语是that Real had received financial aid from General Franco's government，在关系上与proven属被动，因此，proving属误用，改为proven。

将won 改为 winning。
[解析] 在伯纳贝乌的资助下，皇家马德里最终成为最优秀的一支俱乐部足球队，在1956年至1960年期间，这支球队五连冠夺得欧洲足球冠军杯。 [试题分析] 本题辨析分词在作状语时的误用。 [详细解答] 由won开始的状语短语，逻辑主语是Real Madrid，主语和 won 的逻辑关系是主动的。won是误用，因此改为winning。
[解析] 译文同上句。 [试题分析] 本题辨析将介语用作连词的误用。 [详细解答] 在作“像……”这一意思日十，like 虽与 as同意看似相似，但用法区别很大。like是介词，连接名词或代词，as是连词，连结句子，而 FG Barcelona is a beacon for the independent Catalan spirit是个句子，故like属误用，应改为as。
Part Ⅵ Short Answer Questions Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words ( not exceeding 10 words) Impressionism is a form of art that began in the 1870' s. When you look closely at an impressionist painting, you see little dots of different colored paints. When you move away from the picture, the dots of colors blend together and the painting looks like it has light playing on the people and objects in the picture. Impressionist art is different from traditional art. Traditional painters were interested in the form of objects. The impressionists were interested in light and color. The impressionist painters wanted to paint natural light that was lively and bright. They tried to express the feeling of pure sunshine in their paintings. When traditional artists mixed paints, they could not create the feeling of bright, natural light. Therefore, instead of mixing colers, the impressionists used small dots of pure colors. The viewers' eyes put these unmixed colors together the same way they add color in light together. When you look at an impressionist painting, it feels the same as when you look at an object in lively, natural sunlight. Traditional painters worked inside. Impressionist painters worked outside because they wanted to paint the effect of sunlight on objects. Monet, for example, made a series of paintings of a haystack. Every morning he went to a field with eight or ten paintings. All day, he sat in front of a haystack painting. Every hour he worked on a different picture. All of these paintings are pictures of the haystack, but they do not look the same. Monet made his paintings directly from the changing of nature, especially from different hours of sunlight. His study of the haystack is an hour-by-hour record of the artistry(艺术性) of light.
1. Why are there many dots on an impressionist painting?
In order to blend or mix different color together
[解析] 在原文中寻找与问句相关的词。一个词愈是反复出现，其意思愈是容易解释。 [详细解答] 阅读水平的高低用什么来作为衡量的标准，这个问题始终困扰着考生。不少人都有这样的体会，一篇文章能轻松自如地通读一遍，但在回答问题时却常常不知所措。由此，可以看出两个问题：第一，阅读问题和阅读内容有时并不完全统一。问题常常是内容的扩展和延伸。特别是在判断阅读理解选择题时，在“似是而非”的选择项中寻找目标，就仿佛是走进地雷阵，一不小心就有可能触雷。从这个意义上说，答题正确与否并不能完全反映出考生的阅读理解能力。第二，阅读理解考试要求很高的应试技巧。技巧高的考生读文章或许是似懂非懂，但做出的题却常常是“满堂彩”。简答题虽然避免了选择题的误导，但问句也有不少是原文内容的扩展。考生要立足原意，以原文观点的角度看问题，才能抓住问题的实质。 要把阅读内容和问题联系起来，综合分析，我们首先得寻找问句中重复原文的部分，或是单词，或是短语，或是意思。也就是找问句和原句之间的相同点。如在本文第一自然段里就两次出现dots一词——you see little dots of different colored paints 和 the dots of colors blend together。如果我们把这两句话串起来，答案就不言而喻：上一句提出现象，下一句解释现象出现的原因。
