Part Ⅰ Vocabulary and Structure Directions:There are 15 incomplete sentences in this part. 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 blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
1. As soon as Jane ______ the room, she knew there was something wrong.
6. By the end of this coming June, my brother ______ in New England for three years.
A.studies
B.will study
C.has studied
D.will have studied
A B C D
D
[考点] 本题考查动词时态用法辨析。 [解析] 根据句意“等到即将来临的6月底,我哥哥就在新英格兰学习三年了。”和句中的时间状语by the end of this coming June推断,空格处应该是一个表示将来完成时的时态。选项A的一般现在时,选项B的一般将来时和选项C的现在完成时都不符合题意,故选项D的will have studied是正确答案。
7. Jane sent you a letter yesterday. Have you ______ it?
10. Let us suppose that you are in ______ position of parents. Would you allow your kids to do such ______ thing?
A.a; a
B.a; the
C.the; the
D.the; a
A B C D
D
[考点] 本题考查冠词用法辨析。 [解析] 句意“让我们假设你处在父母的地位,你会允许你的孩子做这种事吗?”根据定冠词表示特指,in the position of表示“处于某一位置”可知,前一空格应为the,特指家长的位置;不定冠词表示可数的泛指,后一空格应是a,故选项D为正确答案。其它三个选项均不符合语法规则。
11. Things ______ much worse if they had not followed the teacher's advice.
A.are
B.were
C.had been
D.might have been
A B C D
D
[考点] 本题考查非真实条件句的用法。 [解析] 根据从句had not followed的过去完成时态看出是对过去事实相反的假设,可以判断主句应该用情态动词的完成时。A项是一般现在时,不对;B项是一般过去时,也不对;C项是过去完成时,适用于if从句对过去的假设,因此也不对。根据句意“如果他们当时不听从老师的忠告,情况也许就更糟了。”说明主句谓语动词应用might have done的结构,而从句谓语动词应用过去完成时,故正确答案应选D。
12. ______ Sometimes just a quiet evening with a friend talking about nothing is all ______ you need.

2. Where can you probably find your seat if your ticket is the Premium Economy Class? ______
It's usually a good idea to book rooms in fancy hotels well in advance. These hotels provide many extra services. You probably can count on having bathrobes, hair dryers, and a minibar in your room. Beware of minibars. You can be surprised when you pay your bill. When you arrive, a doorman greets you, and a porter takes your bags. Tip the porter at least $1 per bag. If the doorman calls a taxi for you, tip him $1.If he has to stand out in the rain, you might want to tip more. The porter takes the bags to your room. Sometimes the desk clerk will direct you to the room, and the porter will follow with the bags. The porter or bellman will open and show you the room. If you don't like the room, ask the porter to call the front desk about a replacement. The next thing you should do, no matter what sort of hotel, is to find the emergency and fire exits. Check to see whether you need more towels, pillows, blankets, hangers, or an iron. If you do, call housekeeping right away. Calling late at night, when there is a reduced staff, can create difficulties and delays. Fancy hotels have a concierge, in the European tradition.The concierge desk is generally located near the registration desk. Here you can obtain theater, concert, and sports tickets; look at local restaurant menus and make dining reservations; and find out about car rentals, sightseeing tours, babysitters, and even traffic and weather conditions. A good concierge is a miracle worker who seems to know everything about everything.
5. What do you have to pay for after use at a fancy hotel according to the passage? ______
A.The iron.
B.The bathrobe.
C.The minibar.
D.The hair dryer.
A B C D

6. Who is probably the person that takes your luggage to your room? ______
A.The desk clerk.

D.Curtains and lights.
A B C D

[解析] 本题为细节题。题干问“选项中哪一个是你可能有更多的要求?”根据原文第四段第二行“Check to see whether you need more towels, pillows, blankets, hangers, or an iron.”可知,选项A的Pillows and blankets(枕头和毯子)符合原句所涵盖的内容,因此A项为正确答案。选项B“毛巾和电视机”和选项C“挂衣架和钥匙”均只有一项符合,选项D的“窗帘和灯”都不是原句所提到的需求物品,因此不是正确的选项。

[解析] 本题为词义猜测题。题干问“第五段concierge单词可能是什么人?”依照原文第五段分别提到“The concierge desk is generally located near the registration desk. Here you can obtain theater, concert, and sports tickets; look at local restaurant menus and make dining reservations...”以及最后一句“A good concierge is a miracle worker who seems to know everything about everything.(一个好的礼宾服务员是一个似乎对每件事都了解的神奇的工作人员)”可知,D“为酒店客人提供信息和服务的人”为正确答案。其他三个选项A“为酒店客人看小孩”,B“为酒店客人做观光导游”和C“带客人去餐厅”都不是单词所指的人。
I have heard of the story of the world famous opera singer Tina Kiberg. As a child, Tina was a violinist and spent her free time practicing and practicing. One day she participated in a violin contest and realized that she would never be more than an ordinary violinist and that she enjoyed singing more. She gave up the violin, took up singing and became a leading international opera singer. Her courage to give up is what allowed her to become a world famous opera singer. Now try to guess what these somewhat successful people have in common: Larry Page, Tiger Woods, John McEnroe and John Steinbeck. Yes, they all dropped out of Stanford. Look at many other successful people and I bet their past is also filled with things they did at one time and then gave up. There are a number of cognitive (认知的) processes that make it hard for us to leave our present situation and move on to something new—even when we feel miserable with the present situation. We think "I've invested so much in this already. If I quit, all will have been wasted." Once we have something, we hate to lose it. Things we don't have yet don't carry the same value. These cognitive thoughts might help explain why people stay stuck in bad jobs, bad marriages, unhappy friendship, etc. To sum up, sometimes you've got to stick with something, even through tough times; but sometimes you have to have the courage to give up. You have to be open to the fact that sometimes giving up is the right way forward.
9. What can be learned about Tina Kiberg? ______
A.She used to be a violin player.
B.Her talent in violin was ignored.
C.She was forced to give up the violin.
D.She considered herself the best violinist.
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为细节题。题干问“关于蒂娜希贝格我们可以了解到什么?”根据原文第一段第二句“As a child, Tina was a violinist and spent her free time practicing and practicing.(儿时蒂娜是个小提琴手,业余时间都在练琴)”得知,选项A的(她以前是小提琴演奏者)为正确答案。选项B的“她拉小提琴的天赋得不到重视”与文意不符;选项C的“她被迫放弃拉小提琴”不是我们了解到她的情况;选项D的“她认为自己是最佳小提琴手”在原文中没有提到且不合题意。
10. What do we know about many successful people from Para. 2? ______
A.They felt miserable in universities.
B.They were faced with many failures.
C.They usually have nothing in common.
D.They know well when to give something up.
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题为细节题。题干问“从第二段关于许多成功人士,我们知道些什么?”根据原文第二段的内容和第一段中间一句话中“Their past is also filled with things they did at one time and then gave up.(他们的过去也充满了他们曾经做的事情,可是后来放弃了)”的意思得知,选项D“他们很清楚何时该舍弃。”最接近题意,所以选择D项。选项A“他们在大学感到痛苦。”显然文中并未提到;选项B“他们面临着许多失败”不符合题干问题;选项C“他们通常没有什么共同之处”不符合第一段原文中间一句these somewhat successful people have in common(这些成功人士都有某些共同之处),因此也不对。
11. Why are people unwilling to give up according to Para. 3? ______
A.Because they have wasted too much.
B.Because they stay stuck in bad conditions.
C.Because they are afraid of losing what they have.
D.Because they feel miserable with the present situation.
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题是细节题。题干问“根据第一段内容人们为什么不愿意放弃?”根据原文第一段的We think "I've invested so much in this already. If I quit, all will have been wasted."(我们认为“在这方面我已经投入太多,如果放弃,一切都会白费了”)Once we have something, we hate to lose it.(一旦我们拥有了一些东西,我们就不喜欢失去它)以及These cognitive thoughts might help explain why people stay stuck in bad jobs, bad marriages, unhappy friendship.(这些认知的思想帮助解释为什么人们仍停留在不好的工作、婚姻和不愉快的友谊中)得知,选项C“因为他们害怕失去已有的东西”完全符合题意,为正确答案。其他三个选项都不是文中提到的原因,与题目要求不符。
12. What is the author's comment on "giving up" according to the passage? ______
A.It carries little value.
B.It leads to hard times.
C.It is sometimes a better choice.
D.It is always very important to be successful.
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为推断题。题干问“根据短文作者对放弃的评论是什么?”依据原文最后一段内容和最后一句中的“You have to be open to the fact that sometimes giving up is the right way forward.(你必须公开的事实就是有时放弃是向前的正确道路)”,因此选项C“放弃有时是更好的选择”与文章对应,是正确答案。选项A“放弃没有什么价值”,选项B“放弃会导致艰难的时刻”和选项D“放弃对成功总是很重要的。”都不是作者对放弃的评论,也不符合题目要求。
Regular exercise can help you build stronger muscles, shake off illnesses, and make your clothes fit a whole lot better. But there's another benefit: even moderate exercise seems to take years off your age. Of course, you can't change your age, but exercise can improve your health so that you look and feel younger than you are. Exercise gives you more energy. Exercise fires up your brain and body so you feel more energetic. Exercise puts your body in a state of excitement, which means more vitality and a greater sense of well being. Daily tasks become less tiring and require less effort. It's the kind of energy that makes you feel like you are a decade or two younger. Exercise keeps your skin soft and glowing. Researchers studied a small group of adults between ages 20 and 84. The frequent exercisers who were over age 40 had skin that resembled the younger skin of people in their 20s and 30s. The difference had nothing to do with sun exposure, which would age your skin faster, reported the research team; they guess that exercise creates body substances that help slow aging in skin, though they say more research is needed to learn how exercise works. Moreover, exercise helps you sleep soundly. Restful sleep is like a fountain of youth, and exercise helps you achieve it. Research shows that regular exercisers fall asleep more easily and are more likely to experience deep sleep, Exercise tires you out, sure, but there's more to it than that. Sleeping well helps all the systems in your body function optimally, so you're less likely to suffer sleeplessness. A recent study finds that getting at least 150 minutes of exercise per week improves sleep quality by 65%.
13. What do we know about sun exposure according to the passage? ______
A.It leads to faster aging in skin.
B.It encourages more exercise.
C.It makes the exerciser sweat.
D.It creates body substances.
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为细节题。题目问“根据这篇文章,我们知道关于日晒会是什么结果?”根据原文第三段内容和第三段第三句话“The difference had nothing to do with sun exposure, which would age your skin faster(这种差别与日晒无关,日晒会使皮肤衰老更快)”得知,选项A“它会导致皮肤老化更快”符合题意。选项B“它鼓励更多锻炼”,选项C“它使锻炼者流汗”和选项D“它创造身体物质。”均不符合题意,因此答案应选A项。
14. What can we learn from Para. 3? ______
A.The researchers think exercise helps the skin work faster.
B.The researchers are not sure how exercise works on skin.
C.Exercise brings more sun exposure to the skin.
D.Exercise only works on people under 40.
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题为推断题。题目问“从第三段我们知道什么?”根据原文第三段和最后一句话“They guess that exercise creates body substances that help slow aging in skin, though they say more research is needed to learn how exercise works.(他们猜测锻炼创造有助于放慢皮肤衰老的物质,虽然他们说还需要更多的研究锻炼的作用)”得知,此题的正确答案为选项B“研究者不能确定锻炼怎样对皮肤起作用”。其他三个选项与文中叙述情况不符,都不是该段落叙述的主要内容。
15. How does exercise affect people's sleep? ______
A.It improves sleep quality.
B.It increases the length of sleep.
C.It helps people sleep regularly.
D.It makes people less tired in sleep.
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为细节题。题目问“锻炼如何影响人的睡眠?”根据最后一段的第三句“Research shows that regular exercisers fall asleep more easily and are more likely to experience deep sleep.”(研究表明经常锻炼使人更容易入睡,并且更有可能进行深度睡眠)得知,选项A“提高睡眠质量”符合题意,故选A。B项“增加睡眠长度”;C项“有助于人们经常睡觉”和D项“使人睡眠更少疲惫”都不是文中所说的锻炼对睡眠的影响。
16. Which would be the best title of the passage? ______
Every year, Americans throw away 50 billion food and drink cans, 27 billion glass bottles and jars, and 65 billion can covers. More than 30% of our waste is packaging materials. Where does it all go? Some 85% of our garbage is sent to a dump, or a landfill, where it can take from 100 to 400 years for things like cloth and aluminum (铝) to decompose. Glass has been found in perfect condition after 4,000 years in the earth! We are quickly running out of space. It's time to learn the three R's of the environment: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment. For example: you can buy products that don't have a lot of packaging. You can also look for things that are packed in materials that don't require a lot of energy or resources to produce. Instead of buying something you're not going to use very often, borrow it from someone you know. Save energy by turning off lights that you are not using. Instead of throwing things away, try to find ways to use them again! Bring cloth bags to the store with you instead of taking home new paper or plastic bags. You can use these bags again and again. Plastic containers and reusable lunch bags are great ways to take your lunch to school without creating waste. Use all writing paper on both sides. In some town you can leave your recyclables in bins outside your home, and a truck will come and collect them regularly. Othey towns have recycling centers where you can drop off the materials you've collected. Things like paper and plastic grocery bags, plastic and aluminum cans and bottles can often be brought to the grocery store for recycling. Whatever your system is, it's important to remember to clean and sort your recyclables!
17. What does the first paragraph tell us? ______
A.How much waste Americans produce annually.
B.How many things Americans waste each year.
C.How a landfill contains waste.
D.How long glass can endure.
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为主旨题。题干问“第一段告诉我们什么?”根据原文第一段开首句“Every year, Americans throw away 50 billion food and drink cans, 27 billion glass bottles and jars, and 65 billion can covers.(每年,美国人扔掉500亿食品和饮料罐,270亿个玻璃瓶和罐子,650亿个罐子盖)”点出段落主题,可知选项A“美国每年产生多少废弃物”为正确选项。选项B“美国每年浪费多少东西”;选项C“一个垃圾填埋场如何包含废物”和选项D“玻璃能耐多久”都不是该段落主要说明的内容。
18. What does the word decompose (Para. 1) probably mean? ______
A.Because they require fewer resources for production.
B.Because they can be recycled many times.
C.Because they can be used repeatedly.
D.Because they require less energy for production.
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为细节题。题干问“为什么推荐用布口袋?”根据原文第四段第二句谈到“Bring cloth bags to the store with you instead of taking home new paper or plastic bags. You can use these bags again and again.(带布袋子去商场而不是新纸袋或塑料袋,你可以反复地使用它们)”得知,选项C“因为它们可以被重复使用”为正确答案。选项A“因为他们需要更少的资源来生产”;选项B“因为他们可以回收很多次”和选项D“因为他们需要更少的能源生产”都不是题干所问的原因。
20. How many specific recycling systems are mentioned in the last paragraph? ______
Part Ⅲ Cloze Directions:There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it. Read the passage carefully and then choose the most appropriate answer from the 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. In the past, I always thought being a teacher was an easy job. But I changed my 1 when I became a part-time teacher. About four years ago, Richard asked me if I could help teach his students how to 2 a web site about themselves. I agreed to do it because computer is what I do well and I didn't think that teaching computer would be that 3 . During the first few lessons, I tried my best to be friends with the students but in the end I knew that it didn't really 4 . They tried to play with me all the time even when they were supposed to be learning. I didn't mind 5 they played with me after the lessons. But when they did it during the lesson, I wouldn't be 6 to teach them. My experience has helped me 7 teachers more. Also it has made me be a better teacher because I now know how teachers feel. If any of my 8 teachers are reading this, I want to 9 sorry if I sometimes played around in the class while you were teaching. I never thought how that would make you feel. I 10 I will do my best to be a good student in the future.
Part Ⅳ Word Forms Directions:There are 10 incomplete sentences in this part. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. Write the word in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. Mr. Smith sent an email, ______(say) that he would visit our factory next month.
4. He is worried that ______(soon) or later his business will fail.
sooner
[考点] 本题考查副词比较级的用法。 [解析] 根据句意“他担心他的生意迟早会失败。”和句子结构分析,可以看出连词or前后的词性要一致,or后用的是副词late的比较级later,因此or的前面也应该是副词soon的比较级,使其形成sooner or later(迟早;早晚有一天)这一固定搭配。
5. We were beginning to worry. It was ______(usual) for David to be so late.
unusual
[考点] 本题考查构词法中的否定前缀用法。 [解析] 分析It is+adj.+for sb. to do的句子结构可知,系动词后需要一个形容词。而括号中给的usual就是个形容词。再根据句意“我们开始担心。戴维等到这么晚是不寻常的。”得知,应该将该形容词变为否定意义的形容词,使其成反义,符合句意。故正确答案是在usual(通常)前加前缀-un构成unusual(不常见的)。
6. Anne left Germany in the ______(expect) of seeing her family again before long.
Part Ⅴ Translation—English into Chinese Directions:This part is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese. There are 5 sentences in this part. Write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. The children had fallen asleep before the performance was over.
1. Directions:This part is to test your ability to do practical writing. You are required to write a letter. You can refer to the following information in Chinese.

Huanghai University March 26, 2016
Dear Professor Brown, I am indeed very sorry that I missed the spoken English exam last Wednesday. I feel bad about it and would like you to know what happened. On my way to class by bus that day, I was stuck in a traffic jam. It took me more than one hour to get to school. I sincerely hope you can accept my apology and understand my situation. I wonder if you could allow me to take a make-up examination. I will come to see you during your office hour on Monday to discuss the possibility with you. I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused. Looking forward to your reply.
