1. How many parts docs a conversation with a new friend usually consist of?
Three parts
[解析] 11-15 When you talk with new friends, usually there are three parts in the conversation. The first part is greeting. In this part, you and your new friend will greet each other and tell each other your names or exchange name cards. The second part is the conversation itself. Sometimes the conversation is just a small talk. That is, you talk about unimportant matters, such as the weather, sports, entertainments and other interesting things. But it's not the time for you to ask about private or unpleasant things. Sometimes the conversation is about important matters like business affairs. The third part of the conversation is the leave-taking part. In this part, you tell your new friend that you're happy to have met him or her and then the conversation comes to the end. 11. How many parts does a conversation with a new friend usually consist of?
[分析] 根据整个段落可知,与新朋友的初次对话可分为问候、交谈和告辞三部分。
2. What do you do in the first part of the conversation? We ________________ and tell each other our names or exchange name cards.
greet each other
[解析] What do you do in the first part of the conversation?

3. What is mentioned as an example of important matters? ________________ affairs.
Business
[解析] What is mentioned as an example of important matters?
[分析] 根据"Sometimes the conversation is about important matters like business affairs.”可知,有时谈话是关于重要话题的,例如生意上的事情。
4. What is usually avoided in the conversation? ________________ or unpleasant things.
Private
[解析] What is usually avoided in the conversation?
[分析] 根据"But it's not the time for you to ask about private or unpleasant things。”可知,在谈话中询问对方的个人隐私或不愉快的事情是不合适的。由此得出答案。
5. What do you usually say to your new friend at the end of the conversation? We tell him we are happy to ________________ him.
have met
[解析] What do you usually say to your new friend at the end of the conversation?
[分析] 根据最后一句“...you tell your new friend that you’re happy to have met him or her...”可知答案。
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 center.
1. This ATM has been out of service for a few days. It should ______ last week.
A.fix
B.be fixed
C.have fixed
D.have been fixed
A B C D
D
[解析] 虚拟语气 [试题精解] 该题第一句是陈述事实,可以分析出第二句应使用虚拟语气,且该虚拟是应与过去事实相反的假设,所以应使用should have done形式。而且在该句中还应使用被动语态形式,所以该句式为should have been done。故选D。
2. We could not have fulfilled the task in time if it _______ for their help.
A.was not
B.is not
C.had not been
D.has not been
A B C D
C
[解析] 虚拟语气 [试题精解] 该题考查的还是虚拟语气的用法,表示与过去事实相反的假设,句式结构为:If+主语+ had+过去分词,主语+should/would/could/might+have十过去分词。例如:If I hand’t run out of ink,I might have finished writing the paper。(要是还有墨水的话,我就能写完那篇论文了。)
3. The hotel ______ during the vacation was rather poorly managed.
A.as I stayed
B.where I stayed
C.which I stayed
D.what I stayed
A B C D
B
[解析] 定语从句 [试题精解] 本题的先行词hotel是表示地点的词,应用where引导的从句修饰限定,the hotel where I stayed相当于the hotel at which I stayed或者the hotel I stayed at。stay为不及物动词,应加介词 at,再加宾语,所以C选项中若改成at which I stayed,或which I stayed at均为正确选项。
4. I stayed up all night ______ to find a new solution to the problem.
A.trying
B.have tried
C.try
D.tried
A B C D
A
[解析] 分词作状语 [试题精解] 分词作状语,可位于句首,也可位于句中,表示时间上的伴随。根据句意的需要,如果状语分句中谓语动词是主动态,就用现在分词;如果状语分句中谓语动词是被动态,就用过去分词。如:Hearing the knock on the door,they stopped talking.(听见有人敲门,他们停止了谈话。)Con- fined to bed,she needed to be waited on in everything.(她卧病在床,什么事都需要人伺候。)分析该题,I是try这个动作的发出者,应使用主动态,即现在分词,所以答案为trying。
5. By the time you get to Shanghai tomorrow, I ______ for Chongqing.
A.am leaving
B.will leave
C.shall have left
D.had left
A B C D
C
[解析] 将来完成时 [试题精解] 将来完成时表示将来某时刻之前或某一行为发生之前所完成的动作。常和by或by the time等结构连用,由“will/shall+have+过去分词”构成。例如:They will have built the hospital by the end of this month.(到本月末,他们将建完这所医院。) By this time tomorrow,they will have repaired the TV set.(明天这个时候,他们会修好这台电视机。)该题是由by the time引导的时间状 语从句,故主句用将来完成时。
6. ______ he is still working on the project, I don't mind when he will finish it.
A.In case
B.As long as
C.Even if
D.As far as
A B C D
B
[解析] 状语从句 [试题精解]本 题中四个选项均可引导状语从句,as long as意为“只要”;in case意为“万一”;even if 意为“即使”;as far as意为“就……而言,至于”。根据句意,只有B适合。例如:You can stay here as long as you keep quiet.(只要你保持安静,你就可以呆在这里。)
7. If you are worried ______ the problem, you should do something about it.
8. ______ with the developed countries, some African countries am left far behind in terms of people's living standard.
A.Compare
B.To compare
C.Compared
D.Comparing
A B C D
C
[解析] 过去分词 [试题精解] 本题考查分词作状语。解析见19题。
9. Li Lei didn't meet the famous American professor ______ he was on holiday in America last year.
A.unless
B.until
C.if
D.whether
A B C D
B
[解析] 状语从句 [试题精解] 本题考查的是由not...until引导的时间状语从句,表示“直到……才”。例如:She didn’t leave until he came back.(直到他回来,她才离开。)如果not until位于句首时,需用倒装结构。例如:Not until midnight did she come back.(直到半夜她才回来。)本题中其他选项unless意为“如果不,除非”;if意为“如果”;whether意为“是否”。
10. So ______ after she learned the good news that she could hardly fall asleep that night.
A.excited the mother was
B.was the mother excited
C.the mother was excited
D.excited was the mother
A B C D
D
[解析] 倒装句 [试题精解] 当从属连词so...that和such...that中的so和such位于句首时,句子要倒装,意为“如此……以至于”。例如:So young was he that you must excuse him.(他是如此的年轻,你应该原谅他。)Such was the earthquake that the city was destroyed.(地震如此地厉害以至了整个城市都被毁坏了。)
Section B Directions:There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper from of the word given in the brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. When (ask) ______ why he came to the exhibition, he said that he had been interested in oil paintings for years.
asked
[解析] 分词 [试题精解] 本题考查的仍然是分词作状语。因为句子的主语he是ask这个动作的接受者,故用过去分词。该句when asked可以理解为when he was asked的缩略形式。
2. My sister has recently got a job as a (reception) ______ in a hotel.
7. (Give) ______ more instructions, the students would have done the exercises much better.
Given
[解析] 状语从句 [试题精解] given引导条件状语,意为“假设,假使”。例如:Given good weather,our ship will reach Shanghai Monday evening.(假如天气好,我们的船将于星期一晚上到达上海。)I’d come and see you in New York,given the chance.(如果有机会,我就到纽约来看你。)
8. It's no use (bargain) ______ any more. It's a fixed price.
bargaining
[解析] 动名词 [试题精解] 本题考查的是动名词的固定用法。在“It is no use/no good/worthwhile/useless/a waste of time+动名词”结构中,动名词作主语,it为形式主语。例如:It’s no use complaining about it.(抱怨是没有用的。)本题括号中所给的bargain为动词,动名词形式为bargaining。
9. Buying a house in such a neighborhood can be a (cost) ______ business.
10. The villagers told us that a new bridge (build) ______ across the river in a year.
would be built
[解析] 过去将来时 [试题精解] 此题考查的是宾语从句中时态的用法。若主句中谓语为现在时,从句中时态不受限制。若主句中谓语为过去时,宾语从句中也应使用过去的某种时态与主句保持一致。该题中主句为the villagers told us,使用的是一般过去时,所以从句中应使用过去的某一时态与之呼应,而且从句中有时间状语in a year,所以应使用过去将来时。而从句中还应用被动语态,故正确答案为would be built。
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 in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation(卫生) and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime. The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce(推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment(不满), which would ultimately lead to violence. The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area.
1. What does the word "urban" (Line 2, Para. 3) mean?
Task 2 Online services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information available to satellite users. Users of so-called "dumb" terminals (i.e.those without processing capability) simply access the information base via programs stored on the system. Personal computer (PC) users typically access the host through a modem(调制解调器). A PC software program serves as an interface (接口) between the server and a PC, allowing the user to operate through the online system and select different databases using a key- board or a mouse. National and regional online systems usually have local telephone numbers that PC modems can call to access either a local information base or an indirect long-distance connection, thus reducing long-distance telephone fees. Some online systems allow users to copy large volumes of information onto a local memory storage device, which also reduces the time the user is connected to the online system. Besides offering a great number of different information bases, ranging from full-text journal libraries to reports of missing children, online services allow users to, for example, reserve airline tickets, buy stocks, purchase goods, and communicate with other users. In exchange for the service, users usually pay a monthly membership fee. They may also pay to connect to various databases on the service or to download information.
1. Online services work by providing users with ______.
A.a base of information
B.dumb terminals
C.a host system
D.a satellite
A B C D
A
[解析] 推理题 [解题思路] 根据文章第一段第一句话"Online services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information available to satellite users.”可知,网络服务通过中央系统来管理,而中央系统则具有供网络使用者用的信息库。由此可见,网络服务为使用者提供信息库。因此答案为A。
2. How can the users of terminals without processing capability acquire the necessary information?
A.They can simply use a keyboard or a mouse.
B.They should use a modem to maintain the host system.
C.They should connect their computer to a satellite system.
D.They can access its base through the programs on the system.
A B C D
D
[解析] 细节题 [解题思路] 根据文章第一段第二句话"Users of so-called“dumb”terminals(i.e.those without processing capability)simply access information base via programs stored on the system.”可知,“聋哑”终端,也就是不具有信息处理能力的终端,其使用者可以通过储存在系统内的程序来利用信息库。因此答案为D。
3. If you copy the online information onto your PC device, you will ______ .
A.save the time of connecting to the online system
B.reduce the risk of losing information
C.pay just local telephone charges
D.get local information only
A B C D
A
[解析] 细节题 [解题思路] 根据文章第二段最后一句话"Some online systems allow users to copy large volumes of information onto a local memory storage device,which also reduces the time the user is connected to the online system.”可知,通过把大量信息复制到本地的PC机,可以缩减网络连接的时间。因此答案为A。
4. If you want to read full-text journals online, you usually have to ______.
A.seek for a large amount of information
B.be connected to various databases
C.be introduced by the local library
D.pay a monthly membership fee
A B C D
D
[解析] 细节题 [解题思路] 根据文章第三段第一句话"Besides offering a great number of different information bases,ranging from full-text journal libraries to reports of missing children...”可知,网络服务为使用者提供多种服务,其中包括网上阅读全文期刊。又根据第二句"In exchange for the service,users usually pay a monthly membership fee.”可知,要利用这些服务,使用者通常每月还要交纳一定的费用。因此答案为D。
5. The passage is mainly about ______.
A.the payment for online services
B.the functions of online services
C.the development of online services
D.the relation between online services and the users
