Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehensionm 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 spoken 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 centre.
[解析] W: I'm going to make some coffee. Would you like some? M: No, thanks. I' d rather have a cup of tea. Q: What would the man like to have?
[试题类型] 推理判断题 [分析] 女士提议男士是否喝咖啡,但是男士的回答中的"No,thanks.”婉言谢绝了她的请求,而其后的“I’d rather have a cup of tea.”表明了男士的态度。其中would rather do sth.是“宁愿,宁可”的意思。因此A为正确答案。
2.
A.To prepare a document.
B.To sum up their sales.
C.To bring him a document.
D.To write a sales report.
A B C D
C
[解析] M: Helen, can you give me the document on our sales, please? W: Certainly, I'll do it right away. Q: What does the man ask the woman to do?
[试题类型] 请求题 [分析] 本题的重点是男士所说的话。即“...can you give me the document on our sales,please?”也就是说,他请求女士将销售文件给他,答案C中的bring与give是同义词,因此C为本题正确答案。
3.
A.Mr. Johnson has been the man's boss.
B.The man and Mr. Johnson are colleagues.
C.The man is quite familiar with Mr. Johnson.
D.Mr. Johnson has just got to know the man.
A B C D
C
[解析] W: Have you known Mr. Johnson for a long time? M: Yes, quite some time, about two or three years. Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
[试题类型] 推理判断题 [分析] 本题考查学生推理判断的能力,即从对话中能推断出什么。女士问男士是否认识Mr.John- son很长时间了,而男士所说的短短一句话有三个关键,即yes,quite some time(很长时间了)和 about two or three years,这些都能证明他们已经很熟了,但是至于他们是不是同事关系或是上下级关系却没有提及,因此C为正确答案。
4.
A.Two dollars.
B.Three dollars.
C.Four dollars.
D.Five dollars.
A B C D
B
[解析] M: Tickets are six dollars for adults. Children's tickets are half price. W: Ok, I'd like two adults' and three children's please. Q: How much does one child ticket cost?
[试题类型] 数字计算题 [分析] 本题考查学生数字计算能力。由于题干问的是孩子的票价是多少,因此重点就在男士所说的话“Tickets are six dollars for adults.Children’s tickets are half price.”,也就是说孩子应该买半票,就是three dollars。而女士在后面所说的话有迷惑大家的嫌疑,听的时候要特别注意问题是什么。
5.
A.Before the meal.
B.During the meal.
C.When the guest arrives.
D.When the guest leaves.
A B C D
D
[解析] W: Thank you very much for such splendid dinner. M: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Q: When does the conversation probably take place?
[试题类型] 时间判断题 [分析] 本题考查学生判断时间的能力。由于女士说“Thank you very much for such splendid(极好的)dinner.”证明了他们已经吃过饭了,而男士的enjoyed再次证明了D为正确答案。
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 centre.
[解析] 6-7 W: Good morning, British Airways. How can I help you? M: Good rooming. I've a returned ticket to Rome. It's open. I'd like to confirm my flight. W: What date do you want to travel? M: Thursday, 26 November. W: The first flight departs at 2 p.m. It arrives in Rome at 5:20 p.m. M: Is there a later flight? W: Yes, there's one at 4 p.m., arriving in Rome at 7:30 p. m. M: Yes, thank you, that's fine. W: What course are you traveling? M: Er, economy. W: Is that one seat? M: Yes. 6. Where does the man want to travel?
[试题类型] 地点方向题 [分析] 本题考查学生判断地点的能力,即乘客所要去的地方。在原文中男士提到“...a returned ticket to Rome(罗马)”,女士也提到了“There is one at 4 p.m.,arriving in Rome at 7:30 p.m.”。因此我们可以推断出M的目的地是Rome。
2.
A.The 14:00 flight.
B.The 17:20 flight.
C.The 19:30 flight.
D.The 16:00 flight.
A B C D
D
[解析] Which flight does the man want to take?
[试题类型] 时间判断题 [分析] 本题考查学生判断时间的能力。在原文中男士提到两次航班的时间:“The first flight departs at 2 p.m.It arrives in Rome at 5:20 p.m.”,但是男士说“Is there a later flight?”表明他对时间不满意;而在W提出“There is one at 4 p.m.,arriving in Rome at 7: 30 p.m.”的时候,男士说“That’s fine.”证明了他对 4 p.m.出发的航班很满意,因此我们只需要将时间换算成 16:00就可以了。
[解析] 8-10 W: Could I speak to David Evens, please? M: Hello, David Evens is here. W: Hi, it's me, Jane. M: Hi, you've arrived then. W: Yes, I checked in a few minutes ago. M: What's that hotel like? W: It's very clean and comfortable. I have a wonderful view of the harbor from my window. M: How was your journey? W: Oh, not too bad. M: I'm coming to see you. How do I get to the hotel? W: It's very easy to find. It's near the harbor. M: Ok, I'll see you on Saturday then. Be good. W: Yes, bye. M: Bye. 8. Where is the hotel located?
[试题类型] 地点方向题 [分析] 当男士问女士宾馆怎么样的时候,从女士的回答“I have a wonderful view of the harbor(海港) from my window.”中我们可以推断出宾馆在海港的附近,而后来男士问女士宾馆准确的地点时,女士的回答“It’s near the harbor.”再次证明了A为正确答案。
4.
A.On Thursday.
B.On Friday.
C.On Saturday.
D.On Sunday.
A B C D
C
[解析] When will the two speakers meet?
[试题类型] 时间判断题 [分析] 男士说要去看女士,并询问了宾馆的具体位置,并说“I’ll see you on Saturday then.”表明C为正确答案。
5.
A.They are talking on the phone.
B.They are touring the city together.
C.They are looking for a hotel.
D.They are checking in at a hotel.
A B C D
A
[解析] What are the two speakers doing?
[试题类型] 推理判断题 [分析] 本题考查学生推理判断的能力。由于在原文的开头对话的双方使用了很多电话用语。如:“Could I speak to David Evens,please?”,“Hello,David Evens is here.”和“Hi,it’s me,Jane.”。所以,如果细心的话就不难听出他们在打电话了。
Section C Directions:This section is to test your ability to comprehend short passages. You will hear a recorded pas- sage. 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). The incomplete answers are printed in your test paper. You should write your answers in the Answer Sheet correspondingly. Now the passage will begin.
1. What does the speaker think of her mother? Her mother is the _________________ person to her.
dearest
[解析] 11-15 Of all the people around me, my mother is the dearest. I love her and I enjoy spending time with her. In the future when she grows old, I will still stay with her. In my country the sons and daughters usually live with their parents. So when the parents are old, they won't feel lonely. But in some other countries young people don't like to live with their parents. Some of them even think their parents are a burden to them. In my opinion, old people know a lot of things that can help us and teach us. Therefore I enjoy living with my mother, especially when she is old and needs more of my love and care. 11. What does the speaker think of her mother?
[分析] 从句子的结构看,空格的部分需要一个形容词,并且空格前面出现的the也提示我们空格部分可能需要形容词的最高级。而在原文的开头就提到“Of all the people around me,my mother is the dearest.”,因此答案就非dearest莫属了。
2. What does the speaker enjoy doing with her mother? She enjoys ____________________ with her.
spending time
[解析] What does the speaker enjoy doing with her mother?
[分析] 原文的第二句话有明确的说明“I love her and I enjoy spending time with her.”。大家只需要注意enjoy的后面要接动名词就可以了。
3. How will old people feel if they live alone? They will feel ______________________.
lonely
[解析] How will old people feel if they live alone?
[分析] 因为feel在句中是系动词,所以空格的部分需要的是一个表语,也就是形容词。而在原文中就有类似的叙述“So when the parents are old,they won’t feel lonely.”。这样,正确答案就不难找出了。
4. Why do some young people dislike living with their parents? Because they think the old parents are _________________ to them.
a burden
[解析] Why do some young people dislike living with their parents?
[分析] 从句子的结构看,空格的部分需要一个表语,即一个形容词或是一个名词短语。而在原文中类似的叙述是“some of them even think their parents are a burden to them.”。因此,通过归纳答案就显而易见了。
5. What does the speaker think of old people? With their wide knowledge, they can __________________ young people.
help and teach
[解析] What does the speaker think of old people?
[分析] 从句子的结构看,空格的部分需要实义动词,并且题干中的wide knowledge也给我们以提示。而原文中虽然没提到广博的知识,但是类似的叙述是“Old people know a lot of things that can help us and teach us.”。因此,通过归纳就不难得出答案了。
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 centre.
1. All my classmates have passed the physical education exam except ______.
A.John and I
B.John and me
C.I and John
D.me and John
A B C D
B
[解析] 人称代词连用的位置排列 [试题精解] 我们知道,人称代词有主格与宾格之分,人称代词作主语时用主格,作宾语时用宾格。那么在并列的主语和宾语中,单数的不同人称代词连用时的顺序一般为:you and I (me),you and he (him),he (him) and I (me),而 I (me)总放在最后。如:Xiao Yu and I are in charge of the work. (我和小余负责这项工作。)本题中是两个人称代词并列作宾语,所以B为正确答案。
2. I'll lend you my computer ______ you promise to take care of it.
A.unless
B.as
C.while
D.if
A B C D
D
[解析] 连词 [试题精解] unless的意思是“除非,如果……不”。如:I shall go there unless it rains.(如果不下雨,我将到那里去。)as作连词使用时,意思为“当,正值”、“因为,由于”等,引导状语从句。如:As he came in,he found something unusual.(他一进来就发现有些异常现象。)while的意思是“当……的时候”。如:Please don’t talk so loud while others are working.(别人在工作的时候,请勿大声讲话。)if的意思为“如果”,因此根据题意D为正确答案。
3. His mother told me that he ______ read quite well at the age of five.
A.should
B.would
C.could
D.might
A B C D
C
[解析] 情态动词的用法 [试题精解] 题干中的四个选项都为情态动词,但用法各不相同。should表示“应该,应当”。如:We shouldn’t throw cold water on him.(我们不应当给他泼冷水。)would表示意愿,在陈述语气和虚拟 语气都可以用。如:We would ask you to collaborate with us.(我们愿意请你们和我们合作。)might表示“可能”或“许可”。如:You might have some fever.(你可能有点发烧。)could表示“能力…”“许可”或“可能性”,为can的过去形式。如:She asked whether she could take the books out of the room.(她问可不可以把书拿出屋去。)因此根据题意C为正确答案。
4. He was very sorry ______ her at the airport.
A.not to meet
B.to not meet
C.to have not met
D.not to have met
A B C D
D
[解析] 动词不定式的否定式 [试题精解] 动词不定式的否定式通常是在不定式符号之前加not,never等否定词。如:I’m sorry not to reply to your letter.(很抱歉没有给你回信。)如果不定式所表示的动作,在谓语所表示的动作(状态)之前发生,那么不定式就要用完成式。如:I’m grad to have seen your mother.(很高兴见到你的妈妈。)因为没去机场接她发生在他感到抱歉之前,因此根据题意D为正确答案。
5. Which do you think is ______ important, wealth or health?
A.more
B.most
C.the more
D.the most
A B C D
A
[解析] 形容词的比较级 [试题精解] 当两者进行比较时,应该用比较级。形容词比较级的形式有以下两种:1) 单音节形容词的比较级在原级后加-er。如:That apple is bigger than mine.(那个苹果比我的大。)2) 三音节或多于三音节的形容词的比较级在原级之前加more。如:This picture is more beautiful.(这幅画更美。)当三者或三者以上进行比较时,应该用最高级。形容词最高级的形式同比较级相似,即单音节形容词在原级后加-est;三音节或多于三音节的形容词前加the most。根据题意,应选用形容词的比较级,因此A为正确答案。
6. She gave up her job as a nurse because she found the children too difficult ______.
A.look after
B.to look after
C.looking after
D.be looked
A B C D
B
[解析] 动词不定式作宾补 [试题精解] 本题考查动词不定式作宾语补足语。在一些表示思维活动的动词后面接带to的不定式短语作宾语补足语,如:believe,declare,find,prove,think,discover,feel,imagine,judge,sup- pose,understand等等。如:I believe him to be reliable.(我相信他是可靠的。)本题中,只有B选项为动词不定式,因此B为正确答案。
7. The students ______ their papers by the end of this month.
A.have finished
B.will be finishing
C.will have finished
D.have been finishing
A B C D
C
[解析] 将来完成时的用法 [试题精解] 本题需辨析四种时态。A选项have (has) done为现在完成时,表示现在以前发生的动作或情况,可以是1) 到现在为止的这一时期中发生的情况(可能是多次动作的总和,也可表示状态 和习惯性的动作)。2) 对现状有影响的某一已发生的动作。如:How many pages have you covered today?(你今天看了多少页?)B选项will be doing为将来进行时,表示将来某时或某时间段正在进行的动作。如:What will you be doing (at eight) tomorrow evening?(明天晚上[八点]你们干什么?) D选项have (has) been doing.为现在完成进行时。表示现在以前这一段时间里一直在进行的一个动作,这一动作可能仍然在进行,也可能停止了一会儿。如:How long has it been raining?(雨下多久了?)、C选项will have done为将来完成时,表示将来某时已发生的事情。如:When we get there they'll probably have left.(我们到那里时他们可能已经走了。)同时,在时态为将来完成时的句子当中,常常会出现些提示词或词组,如by,by the end of,before,by the time,when等时间状语(从句)。因此C为本题的正确答案。
8. The news ______ the Chinese football team had won the match excited all of us.
A.that
B.which
C.what
D.as
A B C D
A
[解析] 同位语从句 [试题精解] 本题考查同位语从句与定语从句的区别。同位语从句多由that引导,that只起连接作用,在从句中不作任何语法成分,而从句对主句提供补充说明,起修饰和描绘作用。如果去掉that引导的从句,剩下的部分也不会失去意义,可以单独成立。如:Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well.(从句主语为all,that引导同位语从句。)定语从句也可以由 that引导;但that在从句中充当主语或宾语。我们需要注意的是这类从句是不能拿掉的,否则剩下的部分就会失去意义不能成立,或意思不清楚,不说明问题。如:Is she the girl that sells flowers? (定语从句,that为从句主语。)本题的从句中并不缺少任何成分,从句是用来补充news的内容,因此是同位语从句。
9. There is a nice-looking car there. Peter wonders ______.
10. The manager of the company insisted that all the staff members ______ the new safety rules.
A.would observe
B.observe
C.observed
D.will observe
A B C D
B
[解析] 虚拟语气 [试题精解] 本题考查的是be-型虚拟语气。be-型虚拟语气是以动词原形表示的,即不管主语是什么人称,动词一律用原形。be-型虚拟语气用于表示命令、决定、建议等词语之后的that-分句中,主要的形式是should+动词原形,should常被省略。常见的这类词语有:decide,decree(颁布),demand,insist,move(提议),order,prefer,propose,recommend,request,suggest,vote,command, intend,urge等。如:He insisted that he go to the South for her holiday.(他坚持去南部度假。)
Section B Directions:There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. Neither the clerks nor the manager (know) ______ anything about the accident now.
knows
[解析] 主谓一致 [试题精解] 由neither...nor连接的并列结构作主语,随后的动词形式通常按照“就近原则”处理。如: Neither the Kansas coach nor the players were confident of victory.题干中靠近谓语动词的是manager,因此要用第三人称单数knows。类似的用法还有not only...but also...,either...or...,or,nor等。如:My sisters or my brother is likely to be home.
2. He has to check the (spell) ______ of a difficult word before he uses it.
spelling
[解析] 动名词 [试题精解] 动名词是动词的一种非限定形式。它在句子中起名词的作用,可单独或引起短语作主语,表语,宾语或介词的宾语。如:Working in these conditions is no easy job.(动名词作主语)My favorite sport is skating.(动名词作表语)I suggest organizing a trip to Park.(动名词作宾语)Have you got used to living in the mountain?(动名词作介词的宾语)在本题中,所填词在定冠词the之后,介词of之前,因此要用名词的形式,就要在动词spell的后面+ing,变为动名词,以符合题目的要求,在题干中作宾语。
3. He knows even (little) ______ about the Olympic Games than I do.
less
[解析] 比较状语从句 [试题精解] 表示比较关系的状语从句通常是由than或as引导的。如:Production is going up much faster than before.(现在生产要比过去增长得快多了。)He worked as fast as a skilled worker.(他干得像熟练工人一样快。)本题就是一个由than引导的比较状语从句,因此要将little变为比较级less。
4. That street is a very (desire) ______ place for you to open a new store.
desirable
[解析] 词形转换 [试题精解] 本题考查将动词变为其形容词形式。空格的前面有副词very,后面有名词place。因此根据形容词可作定语的特性,可以得出答案desirable。同时,形容词还可以作表语、宾语补足语和主语补足语。如:The acting was superb.(形容词作表语)Who left the door open?(形容词作宾语补足语和主语补足语)He spent seven days in the wind and snow,cold and hungry.(形容词作主语补足语)
5. The police promised that they (try) ______ their best to look into the matter.
would try
[解析] 过去将来时 [试题精解] 这是一个由that引导的宾语从句。根据句意,从句中缺少谓语成分。从句的原意应为“The police will try their best to look into the matter.”,而主句的时态为过去时,因而要将will改为would。在宾语从句中,由that作从句的宾语是很普遍的,在很多动词的后面都可以用that引导宾语从句。如: boast,say,think,insist,wish,hope,suppose,see,believe,agree,acknowledge,admit,deny,expect, explain,confess,order,command,suspect,dream,suggest,propose,declare,demand,hear,feel,in tend, imagine, wonder ,know,mean,notice,prefer,request,require,report,urge等等。
6. Most of the people (invite) ______ to the dinner party yesterday were my friends.
invited
[解析] 过去分词 [试题精解] 本题考查过去分词作定语。分词是动词的一种非限定形式,主要起形容词和副词的作用。分词有两种,一种是现在分词,一种是过去分词。这两种分词在句子中能担任的成分大体相同。主要是在意思上有主动、被动之分,现在分词一般有主动的意思,过去分词一般有被动的意思。如:We met a group of youngsters returning from school.(现在分词作定语,表主动)This is something unheard of in history.(过去分词作定语,表被动)本题中invite修饰的是people,而客人是被邀请的,表被动,所以应该用过去分词invited。
7. This is a very (danger) ______ road :there were at least five serious accidents last year.
dangerous
[解析] 词形转换 [试题精解] 同29题。在本题中dangerous作表语。
8. During the earthquake the room (shake) ______ and all the pictures fell off the wall.
shook
[解析] 并列句 [试题精解] 本题是由并列连词and连接起来的并列句。两个并列分句要保持句型结构一致,时态一致,因此应将shake改为过去式shook。如:The camera-work is perfect and the actor is good.(电影拍摄的好极了,演员也很强。)
9. We've never had any problem with our car in the past three years ; it's highly reliable in (operate)
operation
[解析] 固定搭配 [试题精解] in operation运转,操作。关于operation的词组:come into operation开始运转。
10. The teacher didn't mind (help) ______ the student in her spare time.
helping
[解析] 动名词 [试题精解] 动名词的语法知识同27题。动词mind后要用动名词形式,即要将help改为helping,在句中作宾语。类似mind的词还有:suggest,finish,avoid,stop,can’t help,admit,enjoy,leave off,require,postpone,put off,delay,practice,fancy,excuse,pardon,advise,consider,deny,endure,escape,miss等等。如:Has it left off raining?(雨停了没有?)What do you intend doing after graduation? (你毕业后打算干什么?)
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 In many countries, such as France, Greece, and Japan, it is often more difficult for students to pass the college entrance exams than to do the course work when they are actually in college, and students who don't have much money are at a disadvantage. Students prepare for these tests for years in advance. Often,stu-dents attend a private school at night to get ready for them. These private schools are usually expensive. If their families don't have much money, students can't attend, and they might not pass the entrance exams without this extra preparation. In contrast, students can easily get into an American or Canadian college at least more easily than in other countries. American students take an entrance exam called the S.A.T. (the Scholastic Aptitude Test (学习能力测试) ). However, colleges do not consider only S. A. T. Scores. They also consider a student's grades and activities throughout high school. A student who has done well in high school will probably get into college. What happens when a student finally enters a college or university? Students in China, Korea, or Japan might find their college studies easier than high school work. On the other hand, when American or Canadian students begin college, many of them discover that they need to work very hard and study seriously for the first time in their lives especially if they plan to go to graduate school.
1. In France and Greece, students find that ______.
A.they have to do extra preparation to pass the entrance exams
Task 2 If you ever went to the United States to study in a college or a university, one of the first things you would have to do is to open a checking account. If you went to a bank to open an account, you would probably go through most of the following procedures. Not all banks have the same requirements for opening new accounts, of course, and the routine may vary somewhat. First you would go to the New Account Department and fill out a signature card. In order to open an ac- count, you would have to offer proof of your identity(身份). A passport is one of the best kinds of identification to have, but other kinds are accepted, one of the most common being a driver's license. You would need to have a permanent address In the city, and you would also be asked to supply the name of a permanent resident who is willing to recommend you. For this purpose you could use the name of your landlord or landlady, for example, or the name of the foreign student advisor at the university. And last but not least, you would need to bring some cash with you in order to open your account. Many banks require a minimum cash deposit of $50.
1. The procedures for opening a checking account ______.
Task 3 The University Bookstore is a self-supporting university-owned organization, which was founded in 1921. It provides students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors with a variety of products and services. In order to fulfill its primary mission, the bookstore stocks new and used textbooks, general books, school supplies, of- rice products, educationally priced computer software, and art and engineering supplies. As a convenience, the bookstore also stocks additional items like gifts, sportswear, greeting cards, candy and sundries(杂货). Services the bookstore provides include bookbinding, special order book service, gift wrapping, photo developing, used book buy-back and postage stamps, as well as fax services. The bookstore is located on the main floor of the Wyoming Union. Hours of operation during the academic year(学年) are:9:00a. m.-5:00p. m.

Task 5 How hard is it to get beautiful hair? Beautiful hair cannot be taken for granted. Environmental factors, chemical treatments and the mechanical damage done by combs, brushes and blow dryers all have a bad effect on the hair in the long run. The hair parts into thin pieces, loses its brightness, becomes hard and easily broken and develops split ends. Our Heated Scissors (剪刀), a new approach to pretty haft, is a modem technological device available in most cities now. No hairdresser (美发师) needs to be told how crucial the quality of a pair of scissors is. But all the same, few have imagined a cutting tool as sharp as razors(剃须刀). What's more, the heating element is located in the interior of the edges, with the best possible heat transference to the cutting edges. Heated cutting edges with individually adjustable temperatures seal the cuts instantly. The cut end of the hair is dosed up smoothly and nearly. Right from the very first cut, the hair takes on a new look with a brilliant shine.
1. What kind of product is advertised in the passage?
Heated Scissors
2. Where can you buy such a tool? It is sold in __________________.
most cities
