1. 1. 有人认为网上购物将越来越普及 2. 有人此并不乐观 3. 我的预测 Shopping Through the Internet
[范文] Shopping Through the Internet Recently many people have begun to try a new way of doing shopping -shopping through the Internet. Some people are quite confident of its future popularity. Their conclusion is based on the following reasons First more and more people will have their own computers and will have them connected with the Internet. which makes it possible for more people to take advantage of the Internet to do shopping, Second shopping through the Internet enables buyers to save some money and a lot of time. Considering its convenience, it seems that few people cat, resist it. Others on the contrary, tend to think poorly of the new method. The biggest disadvantage of shopping through the Internet is that buyers can only see pictures of a product. They may. therefore, lose the Pleasure of touching and trying things in a large supermarket or a luxurious shopping center. The limited scope of this business is the next important reason why they do not like it. Based on the above analysis, I think, with problems solved and services improved, this kind of shopping is definitely to be accepted by a greater number of Chinese in the near future.

The risers are higher, or there are more of them, or something. Maybe this is because it is so much farther today from the first to the second floor, but I've noticed it is getting harder to make two steps at a time any more. Nowadays it is all I can do to make one step at a time. Another thing I' ye noticed is the small print they' re using lately. Newspapers are getting farther and farther away when I have them, and I have to squint to make them out. The other day I had to back halfway out of a telephone booth in order to read the number on the coin box. It is obviously ridiculous to suggest that a person my age needs glasses, but the only other way I can find out what's going on is to have somebody read aloud to me, and that's not too satisfactory because people speak in such low voices these days that I can' t hear them very well. Evrything is farther than it used to be. It's twice the distance from my house to the station now, and they've added a fair - sized hill that I never noticed before. The trains leave sooner too. I've given up running for them, because they start faster these days when I try to catch them. You can' t depend on timetables any more, and it' s no us asking the conductor. I ask him a dozen times a trip if the next station is where I get off, and he always says it isn' t. How can you trust a conductor like that? Usually I gather up my bundles and put on my hat and coat and stand in the aisle a couple of stops away, just to make sure I don' t go past my destination. Sometimes I make doubly sure by getting off at the station ahead. A lot of other things are different lately. Barbers no longer hold up a mirror behind me when they've finished, so I can see the back of my head, and my wife has been taking care of the tickets lately when we go to the theater. They don' t use the same material in clothes any more, either. I've noticed that all my suits have a tendency to shrink, especially in certain places such as around the waist or in the seat of the pants, and the laces they put in shoes nowadays are harder to reach. Revolving doors revolve much faster than they used to. I have to let a couple of openings go past me before I jump in, and by the time I get up nerve enough to jump out again I'm right back in the street where I started. It' s the same with golf. I'm giving it up because these modern golf balls they sell arc so hard to pick up when I stoop over. I've had to quite driving, too; the restrooms in filling stations are getting farther and farther apart. Usually I just stay home at night and read the papers, particularly the obituary columns. It' s funny how much more interesting the obituary columns have been getting lately. Even the weather is changing. It' s colder in winter and the summers are hotter than they used to be. I' d go away, if it wash' t so far. Snow is heavier when I try to shovel it, and I have to put on rubbers whenever I go out, because rain today is wetter than the rain we used to get. Draughts are more severe too. It must be the way they build windows now. People are changing too. For one thing, they' re younger than they used to be when I was their age. I went back recently to an alumni reunion at the college I graduated from in 1943--that is, 1933--1 mean, 1923--and I was shocked to see the mere tots they're admitting as students these days. The average age of the freshman class couldn't have been more than seven. They seem to be more polite than in my time, though; several undergraduates called me "Sir," anti one of them asked me if he could help me across the street. On the other hand, people my own age. are so much older than I am. I realize that my generation is approaching middle age (I define middle age roughly as the period between 21 and 110) but there is no excuse for my classmates tottering into a state of advanced senility. I ran into my old roommate at the bar, and he' d changed so much that he didn't recognize me. "You've put on a little weight, George," I said "It's this modern food," George said," It seems to be more fattening." "How about another martini?" I said. "Have you noticed how much weaker the martinis are these days?" "Everything is different," said George. "Even the food you get. It's more fattening." "How long since I've seen you, George?" I said. "It must be several years." "I think the last time was right after the election," said George. "What election was that?" George thought for a moment. "Harding." I ordered a couple more martinis. "Have you noticed these martinis are weaker than they used to be? I said. "It isn't like the good old days," George said. "Remember when we' d go down to the speak, and order some Orange Blossoms, and maybe pick up a couple of flappers? Boy, could they neck] Hot diggety !" "You used to be quite a cake-eater, George," I said. "Do you still do the Black Bottom?" "I put on too much weight," said George. "This food nowadays seems to be more fattening." "I know," I said, "You mentioned that just a minute age." "Did I7" said George. "How about another martini?" I said. "Have you noticed the martinis arch' t as strong as they used to be?" "Yes," said George, "You asid that twice before." "Oh," I said... I got to thinking about poor old George while I was shaving this morning, and I stopped for a moment and looked at my own reflection in the mirror. They don' t seem to use the same kind of glass in mirrors any more.
1. When the author went back to an alumni reunion, an undergraduate student offered to help him across the street.
N
[解析] 原文中提到了"several undergraduates called me 'Sir' and one of them asked me if he could help me across the street．”但这并不是“several undergraduates”的真正意思，事实上他们是“no courtesy and respect to old people．"
2. The author finds he can no longer make two steps at a time when he goes up the stairs because the risers are higher than they used to be.
N
[解析] 义中的确提到"Maybe this is because it is so much farther today from the first to the second floor “但是请注意下面接着说“but I've noticed it is getting harder to make two steps at a time anymore．”现在“the autor it is all he can do to make one step at a time。”
3. The author's talk about brandy, they always like to drink at the bar with his old roommate George.
4. The author was still young because he often ran to catch the trains.
Y
[解析] 答案Y。文中第三段提到了作者"given up running for them，because they start faster these days when I try to catch them．”。他总是赶火车，说明他身体还不错。
5. The author's complaint about the small print in papers and his trouble in reading the number on the coin box in a telephone booth show that he suffers from poor eyesight.
Y
[解析] 根据原文可知，作者在读报的时候将报纸拿得越米越远，并且需要眯着眼睛才能看懂，还有一件事是"The other day…a telephone booth in order to read the number one the coin box… ”都说明作者的视力开始随着年龄的增长而下降了。
6. The real reason why the author believes everything is farther than it used to be is that now it takes him twice as much time to walk from his home to the railway station.
Y
[解析] 从文中第三段第一句话"Everything is farther than it used to be．It twice the distance from my house to the station now…”可知。
7. The author and his old room-mate George didn't like the food and the drink of today.
8. All of the following are the author' s impressions of today' s college sudents except that they pay ______and respect to old people.
no courtesy
[解析] 根据文章第七段整段内容可知，作者认为现在的大学生对老人没有礼貌和不尊敬别人，句子中和空处同等的是"respect to old people"所以此处应填no courtesy。
9. George are forgot what they ______and always repeated themselves.
had just said
[解析] 原文中，the author 两次提到了“martini”而日两次都表达了自己觉得“martinis aren't as strong as they used to be”。这说明因为随着年龄的增大老午人的一些典型征状已很明显，the author刚刚说了一遍就忘记厂，说着说着义讲丁一遍，并且George也两次提到他现在所吃的食物令人发胖。所以应该是填had just said。
10. The author's purpose in writing this essay is probably to write with humor about____________ of growing old.

Passage Two Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 29-31 A study recently concluded that the public in industrialized nations are becoming more interested than before in helping the less fortunate people of developing nations. This newfound selflessness has not resulted in personal giving of money, but rather in individual efforts to give aid through service— which is far more important than money. Most volunteers have been professionals. Doctors and nurses have volunteered for medical duty, engineers for building roads and bridges, and teachers and others have made themselves available for a variety of international assignments. It is not clear why this phenomenon is taking place. There has been consideration that international developments in recent years have weakened nationalism and have emphasized importance of all humanity working together for a better world. 29．What is the subject of this talk? [试题分析] 本题考查考生对全篇中心意思的把握。efore in helping the less fortunate people，newfound selflessness， volunteers，emphasized the importance of all humanity working together for a better world． [详细解答] 本文第一句及最后一句是找到本题答案的关键。文章开始告诉我们，最新研究表明，工业国家的公众较以前对帮助发展中国家的不幸的人们更感兴趣。而这种无私(selflessness)的表现不是拿钱出来，而是个人努力通过服务来给予帮助，那比钱更重要，文章细而举例说明人们如何在国际事务中提供个人服务。文章最后一句则告诉我们：最近几年的国际发展是减弱民族主义(weaken nationalism)而强调全人类共同为美好世界而努力的重要性。另外，通过newfound selflessness及volunteers 等字眼，考生可猜出答案。
[试题分析] 本题考查考生对某一现象产生原因的分析能力。 [详细解答] 句子“It is not clear why this phenomenon is taking place”表明这种现象产生的原因不清，但转而说"there has been consideration that…”道出来的原因就是民族主义的减弱，而强调全人类共同努力重要性的强调。本题可采取排除法，选项A、B、C均不符合文中最后两句，故选D。
Passage Three Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
A.They have great effect on people's intelligence.
B.They have some effect on most people's intelligence.
C.They have effect on some people's intelligence.
D.They have no effect on people's intelligence.
A B C D
A
[解析] 32-35 If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer. Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature. Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking! 32．What did Ellsworth Huntington say about“climate and temperature"?
[试题分析] 本题考查考生对词义的理解。 [详细解答] “have a definite effect on”意为“对…有肯定的作用”，而"mental abilities”即“智力(intelligence)”，故本题选A。
Section C Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea.

For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time ,you should check what you have written.

[解析] 36-46 The (36)potential of closed-circuit television and other new electronic teaching tools is so great that it is (37)fascinating to visualize "the school of tomorrow." Televised lessons will (38)originate from a central building having perhaps four or five master (39) studios. The lessons will be carried into classrooms all over a city, or even an entire county. After a televised lesson has been given, the classroom teacher will take over for the all-important "follow-up" period. The students will ask any (40)troublesome questions, and difficult points will be (41)cleared up through discussion. The teacher in the classroom will have (42) additional electronic tools. On the teacher's desk, the (43) traditional bright red apple will have been replaced by a multiple-control panel and magnetic tape players. (44) The tape machines will run pre-recorded lessons which pupils will follow by headphones. The lessons will be specifically changed to the students' levels of ability. For instance, while the class as a whole studies history, (45)each student will receive an individual history lesson, directed to his particular level of ability. (46) Should questions arise, the students will be able to talk directly to the teacher on individual "intercoms" without disturbing the rest of the class. In this way, the teacher will be able to conduct three classes at the same time.
The tape machines will run pre-recorded lessons which pupils will follow by headphones
[解析] 前文已提到tape players，该句便进一步讲其在课堂上的使用情况。考生对之已有经历，如对pre-recorded lessons(预先录好的课程)和headphones (耳机)并不陌生。该句可用自己的话写成：“The tape players will play pre-recorded lessons which students follow using headphones．”。
10.
each student will receive an individual history lesson，directed to his particular level of ability
[解析] 前两句对该句的理解很重要，它们讲到：课程将随学生的个体能力层次而改变。信号短语"for instance"是对该句举一例证：上历史课的情况。抓住以上关键词后，可将该句写成："each student will receive an individual lesson which is directed to his particular level of ability"。
11.
Should questions arise，the students will be able to talk directly to the teacher on individual" intercoms" without disturbing the rest of the class
[解析] 本句为一个带虚拟语气的条件从句，省略了" if "。"should questions arise" 应为"If questions should arise"。抓住了以上所列关键词语，该句可组织为：If there are questions，students will talk directly to the teacher on individual "intercoms" without disturbing the other students．其中，individual "intercoms"意为individual intercommunications(个别/ 单独交流)。
Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)
Section A Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word blank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the blank identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the blank more than once. Speech--the act of uttering sounds to convey meaning -- is a kind of human action. Like any other constantly 1 action, speaking has to be learned, but once it is learned, it becomes a generally 2 and apparently automatic process. As far as we can determine, human beings do not need to be forced to 3 ; most babies seem to possess a sort of instinctive drive to produce speechlike noises. How to speak and what to say are another matter altogether. These actions are 4 from the particular society into which the baby is born; so that like all conduct that is learned from a society -from the people around us speech is a patterned activity. The meandering babble and chatter of a young child are eventually channeled by imitation into a few orderly grooves that represent the pattern accepted as meaningful by the people around him. 5 ,a child' s indiscriminate practice of putting things into his mouth becomes limited to 6 food into his mouth in certain way. The 7 that a child can make are more varied and numerous than the sounds that any particular language 8 . However, a child born into a society with a pattern of 9 is encouraged to make a small selection of sounds and to make these few sounds over until it is natural fur him to make these sounds and 10 . A. restored I) poetry. B. putting J) unconscious C. language K) learned D. repeated L) Whereas E. others M) speak F. Similarly N) sequence G. sounds O) reflected H) utilizes
[解析] 根据语义线索此空应使用unconscious，它的意思是“下意识的，潜意识的”，因为由后面的 apparently automatic process (自动的过程)知道，一旦它被掌握厂，就变成一种潜意识的行为。
3.
M
[解析] 上下文中反复出现speak一词，而联系前后文也可知晓答案为M。
4.
K
[解析] 由下文so that like all conduct that 23 learned from a society from the people around us speech 23 a pattered activity，可以判断此空应填learned．
5.
F
[解析] 通读全段并根据语境线索，可以看出下句a child's indiscrimination practice of putting things into his mouth becomes limited 和上句The meandering babble and chatter of young child… the people around him构成类比关系，故选择similarly。
[解析] 此处考查语义的理解，language填入此句中后构成短语a society with a pattern of language，意为“一个具有一定语言模式的社会”。
10.
E
[解析] 根据文章的内容，此结尾处所填单词与and连在一起构成“……等等”的意思。
Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage &followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them. there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of a mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction. During World War I1 the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised (袭击). It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain. Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and distance to send them ( their range of flight, in other words), the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials the word radar was coined.
1. Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate______.
Passage Two We are all conditioned by the way we are brought up. Our values are determined by our parents, and in a larger sense, by the culture in which we live. The Chinese, for example, are not accustomed to the drinking of milk, and may actually become sick if they are compelled to drink a glassful of the beverage. Americans, on the other hand, thrive on milk, although they have many taboos of their own. Some years ago I gave a dinner party during which I served a delicious hors d' oeuvre filled with a meat that tasted somewhat like chicken. My guests wondered what the meat was, but 1 refused to tell them until they had eaten their fill. I then explained that they had just dined on the flesh of freshly killed rattlesnake. The reaction was nausea--and in some cases violent vomiting. If I had served rattlesnake to a Chinese, he would doubtless had requested a second helping, for in China the dish is considered a delicacy. Another interesting case is the young man I met recently in New York City. An American by birth, he had been removed from his native state of Oregon at the age of six months when his parents went to Japan as missionaries. Orphaned before his first birthday, he was reared by a Japanese family in a remote village. The young man was unmistakably American in appearance, with blond hair and blue eyes. But he had a Japanese style of walking, Japanese facial expressions, and he thought like a Japanese. Though he had learned to speak English fluently, he felt uncomfortable and nut of place in an American city. He soon returned to Japan.

1.
将 like being liked by their friends 改为 as being liked by their friends。
[解析] 而在女人之间，个人地位则没有为朋友所喜欢显得重要。 [试题分析] 本题属于同义词混淆误用的问题。 [详细解答] like和a，都有“像……一样”的意思，但like为介词，后面往往接名词，如：He cried like a baby when they told him the news．(他们告诉他这消息时，他像孩子一样哭了。)；as则为连词，后面可接名词，分词短语和句子，而且as多含有比较之意。如：She doesn't run as fast as she used to，(她跑得不如以前那样快)。文中也含有比较的意义，把status 和 liked by friends 一起比较，因此，此处应用as而不能用like。
2.
将blow 改为 blowing。
[解析] 女人自吹自擂会感到很不自在。 [试题分析] 此题属于没有正确使用现在分词的问题。 [详细解答] Women don't feel comfortable已经是一个很完整的句子结构。feel是不及物动词，而blow their own trumpets在句子只能做谓语成分，因此须把blow改为blowing，使之成为现在分词作状语。说明妇女感到不自在的原因。应该注意到此处feel的用法不同于和feel+宾语+动词原形的用法。
3.
将rock boat of a friendship 改为 rock the boat of a friendship。
[解析] 事实上，女人对女人谈话时更会强调各自的失意而非如何成功。 [试题分析l本题属形近词混淆误用的问题。 [详细解答] intend to do sth．表示计划，打算干什么事，如：She intended to catch the early train，but she didn't get up in time．她本打算赶早班的火车，可是早上赶晚了。tend to 表示有……的习惯，倾向于。如：Janet tends to get very angry if you disagree with her．你如果不顺着珍特，她往往容易大发脾气。It tends to rain here a lot in spring．这里的春天往往雨水很多。根据对文章的理解，题中应是“倾向于”之意，所以intend要改为tend．
5.
将Failures seen as 改为 Failures are seen as。
[解析] 失败看上去更有“人情味”，它们让女性朋友在欢笑，同情与怜惜中更加亲密起来。 [试题分析] 本题是分词与被动语态的混淆。 [详细解答] 乍看上去，Failures seen as more "human"好像是带有逻辑主语的过去分词短语，仔细观察后，可发现后面的句子带有连词and，由此可判定此句是and连结的表示并列关系的并列句，所以应加助动词"are"，使它成为一个结构完整的被动语态的分句。
6.
将start to different viewpoints 改为 start from different viewpoints，
[解析] 由此看来，女人和男人有着不同的出发点。 [试题分析] 本题属于介词误用的问题。 [详细解答] start to意为开始，后面接动词，如：I started to learn/ learning French when I was ten．而 different viewpoints为名词，所以不能用介词to，此处表示“从……开始”，应用介词from，如：All our machinery was lost in the fire so we had to start from scratch．我们的全部机器都被大火烧毁了，所以我们不得不从头开始。
7.
将so the main aim 改为 but the main aim 或 while the main aim。
[解析] 女人总的目的是通过商讨达到共识；而男人的主要目的是迅速做出实际决定。 [试题分析] 本题属于表示不同关系的连词误用的问题。 [详细解答] 连词so是表示因果，递进关系。如:It was dark，so I wouldn't see what was happening．天很暗，所以我看不见当时发生了什么事。but和while是表示转折和对比关系的连词，如：It wasn't cheap，but it's very good．虽然它并不便宜，但质量很好。Their country has plenty of oil，while ours has none．他们国家盛产石油，我们国家却一点也没有。分析前面两分句的意思，文中句子间应是转折，对比的关系，所以把so改为but或while。
[解析] 理解男人与女人这些与生俱来的不同，对于理解你的同伴是非常重要的。 [试题分析] 本题属于主谓一致的问题。 [详细解答] 此句中的主语既不是man and woman也不是differences，而是 undertanding these inborn differences between man and woman这个动名词短语，所以为谓语动词应用单数形式的而不用are。
