Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension 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 give proper answers to questions. There are 5 recorded questions in it. After each question, there is a pause. The 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] Welcome sir. Would you mind signing your name here?
该题考点是接待时的常规手续。录音中的问话是“先生,欢迎您。请在这儿签名好吗”。该题的考点是 would you mind“您介意吗”。表示同意为“不介意”,用否定回答;表示不同意为“介意”,用肯定回答。在所给的4个选项中,A)项的意思为“不介意,我很愿意”,该回答符合要求,故选A。
5.
A.Nice to see you.
B.That's all right.
C.Me, too.
D.The same to you.
A B C D
D
[解析] Merry Christmas, Professor Green.
该题考点是节日问候语。录音中的问候是“圣诞快乐,格林教授”。对于节日问候,一般是重复该问候语,有时也说“The same to you”(您也一样)。正确答案为D)项。
Section B 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. The dialogues 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] M: Jane, what about going to the concert tonight? W: Oh, I'm sorry, Tom. I'm rather tired today. Q: What will the woman probably do tonight?
该题考点是推理题。关键词是I'm rather tired today“今天我相当累了”。由此可以推断这位女士拒绝了邀请,想在家休息。因此A)是正确答案。
2.
A.Customer and saleswoman.
B.Husband and wife.
C.Patient and doctor.
D.Teacher and student.
A B C D
A
[解析] W: The shirt is $ 39, sir. M: All right. I' 11 take it. Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers?
该题考点是推理题。该题要求判断对话双方之间的关系。对话中,女士说,“衬衫39美元。”男士说,“好,我买了。”关键词是I'll take it(我买下来了)。这说明他们之间是售货员与顾客的关系。
3.
A.She went to see a friend.
B.She had no class.
C.Her mother took her to hospital.
D.Her mother was ill.
A B C D
D
[解析] M: Why didn't you come to the class yesterday, Helen? W: Oh, my mother was ill and I had to take her to hospital. Q: Why didn't Helen go to school yesterday?
该题是听力理解题。本题问:为什么海伦昨天没有上学?判断答案的关键词是my mother Was ill“我的妈妈病了”。可见,海伦没有上学的原因是母亲病了。据此,答案选择D。
4.
A.The man will take a flight.
B.The man will leave at once.
C.The flight will leave at 2:30.
D.The flight will be late.
A B C D
A
[解析] M: My flight leaves at 4:30. W: Then you’d better leave for the airport at about half past two. Q: What can we learn from this conversation?
该题是背景理解题。本题问:我们能从对话中知道什么。对话中谈论的是上飞机的时间,可见该男士要乘飞机。据此,答案选A。值得注意的是,该题4个选项都与飞机有关。因此,对话中女士的建议:You'd better leave for the airport at about half past two 就成了解题的关键。
5.
A.It's on the right of the man.
B.It's on Rose Street.
C.It's around the next corner.
D.It's far from Rose Street.
A B C D
C
[解析] M: Excuse me. Could you tell me how to go to the Bank of China? W: Go along Rose Street. Turn right at the next corner and then you’ll see it. Q: Where is the Bank of China?
该题是判断理解题。4个选项都是中国银行的方位,只有一个符合对话中的信息。因此,找到对话中的十分重要。关键词是:Turn right at the next corner(在下一个路口向右转就到)。答案应该选C。
Section C Directions:In this section you will hear a short recorded passage. The passage is printed in the test paper, but with some words or phrases missing. The passage will be read three times. During the second reading, you are required to put the missing words or phrases that you hear on the Answer Sheet in order of the numbered blanks. The third reading is for you to check your writing. Now the passage will begin. Recently, a well - known man said that teaching one's wife to drive a car was a difficult job. He said it was the worst job he could think of. However, no one has 1 that women cause fewer accidents than men do. We hear hundreds of suggestions for 2 the number of road accidents. But men are not willing to admit that women drivers are more 3 than men If more women and fewer men 4 to drive cars, the number of deaths on the roads would soon 5 .
[解析] 11-15 Recently, a well-known man said that teaching one's wife to drive a car was a difficult job. He said it was the worst job he could think of. However, no one has pointed out that women cause fewer accidents than men do. We hear hundreds of suggestions for reducing the number of road accidents. But men are not willing to admit that women drivers are more careful than men. If more women and fewer men were allowed to drive cars, the number of deaths on the roads would soon go down.
Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure Directions:This part is to test your ability to use words and phrases correctly to construct meaningfully and grammatically correct sentences. It consists of 2 sections.
Section A Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You are required to complete each statement by choosing the appropriate answer from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
1. He found it difficult to ______ the fact that the ship was lost in a heavy storm.
A.receive
B.keep
C.obtain
D.accept
A B C D
D
该题考点是近义词辨析。4个选项词义相近,但有细微的差别。receive意为“收到”;keep意为“保留”;obtain是“得到”;而accept是“接受”。解题的关键是这些动词与fact的搭配。只有accept的搭配合适。从搭配关系来看,to accept the facts“接受这个事实”符合语法要求。
2. He said,“I ______a lot of new words by the end of last year.”
3. This morning when I was walking to my office, I______ to see an old friend of mine near the office building.
A.occurred
B.happened
C.managed
D.settled
A B C D
B
该题考查动词词义。4个选项的词义比较接近。但搭配意义是不一样的。根据上下文,句中应该是“碰巧”。而happen to有“碰巧”的意思,其他几个词没有该意思。例如:Jack was late,but he happened to arrive before the teacher.杰克迟到了,但他碰巧比老师先到。occur to+名词表示.“(某事)发生在某人身上”; manage to+动词表示“设法做了(某事)”;settle后面不跟to。
4. The police asked the villagers if it was the place______ they found the lost child.
A.which
B.what
C.that
D.where
A B C D
D
该题的考点是关系词的选用。该句的先行词表示地点,而该地点在从句中同时做地点状语。这样,该地点状语转变成为的关系词是where。比较:Beijing is the first Place (which) I want to see when I go to China。当我到中国时,北京是我第一个要去看的地方。(该句中,“Beijing”在从句中做to see的宾语,变为关系代词 which,可以省略。)Beijing is the first place where my friends went last year.北京是我的朋友去年去的第一个地方。(该句中,“Beijing”在从句里做went的地点状语,变为关系副词where。)
5. When she arrived at the crossroads (十字路口), she went it the wrong______.
9. The book is different ______ all the other books I've ever read.
A.from
B.see
C.on
D.among
A B C D
A
该题的考点是介词搭配。从句子中明显看出,这里是形容词与介词的搭配。与形容词different搭配的介词是from。例如:His idea is quite different form ours.他的主意与我们的完全不同。
10. Mr.Black is looking forward to ______ his Chinese partner soon.
A.seeing
B.see
C.be seeing
D.have seen
A B C D
A
该题考查动词的形式。虽然考查动词的形式,但是考点在前面的短语looking forward to。在该短语中,to是介词。因此,其后的动词应该用动名词。答案选择A)项。由于选择的对象是动词,前面又有to,该题容易产生误导。考生要特别注意。相类似的还有:be used to;be accustomed to等。
Section B Directions: There are also 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. The main benefit of (work) ______ with the company is the opportunity to travel abroad.
working
该题考查动词的变化。在介词的后面,动词应该变为动名词,所以work要变为working。
2. The place was so (attract) ______ that the tourists spent much more time there than in any other place.
10. His wife was sure that he would arrive on time. This (certain) ______ made her rush to prepare the dinner.
certainly
该题考查词类转变。所给词是形容词,而在句中它应该修饰动词。这就需要将其变为副词。
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 Walking is the easiest and simplest form of exercise. By putting one foot in front of the other, you can start to walk your ways towards a healthier lifestyle. Walking is an easy way to challenge the cardiovascular system (心血管系统), while at the same time building muscles. But to achieve these goals, a little more than a gentle walk around the block is required. Walking actually burns as many calories (卡洛里) as running the same distance —— if done in the correct manner and at a reasonable pace (步伐). Start with a basic program that you can complete three or four times a week. This should include five main steps: ——A beginning warm-up for about 5 minutes. ——A little bit faster period of 5 minutes at medium level (中等速度) ——A 10-minute “burning” at a high level. ——A 5-minute cool down period at a low level again. ——A suitable walking pace of around 5 kilometers per hour will burn around 80 calories in 30 minutes.
1. According to the passage, walking is a simple way to______.
Task 2 Advice given by human resources officers in large foreign companies can help you find a satisfying job. Here are more useful suggestions. 1. Don't start writing your resume before your graduation. From the first day you enter the university, you have begun writing it. Plan to put your four years to full use so that at graduation your resume will be full of valuable experiences and remarkbale academic (学术) results. 2. Never apply to a company or for a job blindly. Find out where your interests lie and what your advantages are. Decide first what road you want to take for the rest of your life. Choose a company and a job that fits you well. 3. Don' t feel inferior(低下的) to boys if you are a girl job-hunter. Except for some physical work, girls are as capable as boys. Girls even have lots of advantages over boys. For Example, girls are stronger in social communication. They are innately (天生地) skilled to express themselves effectively and to show understanding to others. They tend to be more patient, easier to get along with, and usually have better command of foreign languages.
1. Who may be most interested in the advice given in the passage?
Task 3 Normally, at the beginning of the school year, the Students Services of universities and colleges publish lists of rooms and apartments available off campus. You should pay attention to these services as well as advertisements in the local or college/university newspapers, and bulletin boards (告示板) on the campus or in supermarkets. You might also walk through the section of the city or town in which you wish to live, to see whether there are" FOR RENT" signs on the doors or windows of houses. You may also ask other students for advice, either Canadian or from overseas. It would be wise to set aside at least several full days to look for accommodation(住宿) at the beginning of your program. This will allow you to obtain an idea of the range of housing available. Usually, it is not a good idea to take the first accommodation that you see unless, of course, you are certain that it will be satisfactory. Accommodation outside the centre of a city is normally less expensive than accommodation in the centre of the city. Finding Accommodation for Foreign Students You can obtain information from 1. 1 of your university or college; 2. 2 in some newspapers or 3. 3 on the campus, etc. You are recommended 1. to set aside 4 to search for accommodation; 2. not to take the first accommodation unless it is 5 .

1. What does the first advertisement say about the candidate's experience? He'd better have some experience, but that's _______________.
not necessary
该问题是第一则广告关于应聘者条件的内容。从答案的前一部分来看,内容是第二个条件: have some experience,but not necessary.

5
文章中提供的了作地点在该广告的后半部分,包括地点和电话。因此,五个地点一目了然。

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions:This part, numbered 61through 65, is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese. Each of the four sentences (No. 61 to No. 64) is followed by four choices of suggested translation marked A), B) C) and D). Make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Write your translation of the paragraph (No. 65) in the corresponding space on the Translation/Composition Sheet.
1. The boss told us not to use more material than is necessary.
A.老板让我们按需用料,别多用材料。
B.老板让我们不要多用材料,没这个必要。
C.老板让我们用必需要用的材料。
D.老板让我们不要用不必要的材料。
A B C D
A
该题的关键在于necessary,意为“必要的,需要的”。本句的难点在于is前省略了主语“the material”。实际上, than is necessary在使用中已经成了一种固定的搭配,要注意主句中一定要有形容词的比较级形式。如:Don't spend more money than is necessary.别多花钱。Cooks are used to using more oil in cooking than is necessary.厨师们习惯于在烹饪中用过多的油。另外,told us not to“让我们别……”不同于do not ask us to“没让我们(做……)”。例如:The chairman told us not to be late for the meeting.主席要我们开会不要迟到。The teacher didn’t ask us to do it.老师没有要我们做这件事。C)项错了两处。
2. In fact,I have received attractive job offers from several large companies.
A.事实上,我已收到去几家大公司工作的热情邀请。
B.事实上,我已获得几家大公司提供的诱人的工作机会。
C.实际上,许多大公司已向我提供具有挑战性的工作。
D.实际上,我已经接受了几家大公司提供的具有挑战性的工作。
A B C D
B
该题的关键是received和from构成的结构。本句中的job offers意思是“提供的工作机会”。Receive在这里的意思是“得到,获得”,要注意它与accept“主动接受”的区别。因为D)项译文中“接受”与原文的意思不同。例如:I received some presents from the students,but I didn’t accept them.我收到了学生们的一些礼物,但是我没有接受。
3. When asked to speak at the meeting,Mr.Taylor said he would rather make some suggestions.
A.当泰勒先生应邀作会议发言时,他说他一定要提一些意见。
B.当邀请泰勒先生在会上发言时,他说他宁愿提一些建议。
C.泰勒先生要求在会上发言,他还表示要提一些建议。
D.泰勒先生要求作会议发言,并说将应邀提一些意见。
A B C D
B
解答该题的关键是过去分词短语asked to speak“应邀发言”。因为从句的主语与主句的主语是同一主语,该句中asked前面省略了主语Mr.Taylor was。A)项译文的缺陷只是would rather没有翻译正确。C)和D)两项的 asked都翻译错了。例如:The professor is asked to make a speech about English study.邀请这个教授(这个教授被邀请)做一个关于英语学习的讲话。
4. I am sure that this wool carpet may find a good market in your area.
A.我认为可以在你们那里找到好的羊毛地毯市场。
B.我认为在你们地区找一个好的羊毛地毯市场是对的。
C.我深信这种羊毛地毯在你们那里可能是很畅销的了。
D.我相信这种羊毛地毯在你们地区销路会很好。
A B C D
D
该句的关键短语是find a good market in“在……有销路,有市场”。例如:Our cotton products have found a good market in the U.S.and European countries.我国的棉织品在美国和欧洲国家销路很好。B)项的错误所在就是把该短语翻译错了。
5. Examples of water pollution are very common. Indeed, it is hard to find a major river or lake that has not been polluted in some way. Almost all major industries have put wastes into our water. Producers of steel, coal, ears, chemicals, wood products, paper, and food are only a few.
