Part Ⅰ Vocabulary and Structure Directions:In this part, there are 15 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each. one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked with. A, B, C and D. Then you should write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. I don't think this software is appropriate ______ children under 12 years old.
A.for
B.among
C.to
D.with
A B C D
A
[考点] 本题考查形容词的搭配。 [解析] appropriate意思是“适当的”。其固定搭配用法是be appropriate for sb.或be appropriate to do sth.,通常不和其他三个选项中的介词构成搭配形式。
2. Passengers should allow for ______ travel time to the airport in rush hour traffic.
5. We are past the period of evolution when only the fittest can ______.
A.endure
B.function
C.remain
D.survive
A B C D
D
[考点] 本题是对动词词义辨析。 [解析] 选项A的endure意思是“忍受;忍耐”;选项B的function意思是“起作用;功能”;选项C的remain意思是“留下;保持;依然”;选项D的survive意思是“(经过苦难)生存下来”。句子中的when引导定语从句修饰先行词the period of evolution(进化时期),联想到进化论“适者(the fittest)生存”的理论,D项的survive是最佳选择。
6. The name originated from the days ______ this house belonged to the local policeman.
A.which
B.when
C.that
D.what
A B C D
B
[考点] 本题考查对定语从句关系词的选择。 [解析] 此定语从句的先行词the days在从句中作时间状语,相当于at that time。从句意为“这个房子在那时属于当地的警察”,只有当先行词在定语从句中充当时间状语时,才能用关系副词when来引导,故B选项为正确答案。
7. Mr. Black has ______ arrived in New York and will meet with the Minister of Trade on Monday morning.
13. You ______ come to meet me here at the station. The tube is quite convenient in this city.
A.needn't
B.needn't have
C.didn't need to
D.don't need to
A B C D
B
[考点] 本题考查情态动词need的用法。 [解析] 从句子已给信息可以分析出,既然“这个城市的地铁很方便”,那么“你到车站来接我”就是没有必要的了。根据meet me here可知“来接我”的事情已经发生。needn't have done是“本不必要做而却做了……”之意。
14. At one time we had about eighty people here who did nothing but ______ into his family history.
A.to research
B.researched
C.researching
D.research
A B C D
D
[考点] 本题考查but作介词时,后面接非谓语动词不定式的用法。 [解析] 通常的用法是but后接带to的不定式,即to do的形式。但当but前面的句子中出现了do/does/did/done等的时态的相应形式时,则but后接动词原形,即but do的形式。本题中but前面出现了who did nothing,故此题应选D项。
15. ______ harder, you would have passed this exam.
A.Were you worked
B.Had you worked
C.If you worked
D.If you have worked
A B C D
B
[考点] 本题考查虚拟语气的用法。 [解析] 根据句意“如果你再努力一些可能就通过考试了。”分析得知,这是一个与过去事实相反的非真实条件句,完整的句子应是If you had worked harder, you could have passed this exam.是可以省略If的,并且把助动词had放在句首,故选项B正确。其他三个选项均为时态不符。
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part. A fter reading each. passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked with A, B, C and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. Most holidaymakers are not aware of the health risks they face abroad, even in the most popular destination, because official advice is not reaching them, according to a report from the Foreign Policy Center. The research by the European think-tank found only 9 percent of travelers could name a health threat on their trip, from sunburn to malaria, and only 2 percent of holidaymakers consult the Foreign Office before their departure. The failure to take necessary precautions abroad could lead to a serious situation which can be disastrous for both individual health and the global economy. The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns means controlling health problems is becoming even more difficult. Recent outbreaks of SARS and bird flu in the Far East have shown that even more relatively small outbreaks can have a great impact on countries' economies and the travel industry. In 2002, Britons made 60 million trips abroad, and around 30—50 percent fell ill, though most cases were minor complaints such as sunburn. The "Health Travel" report recommends major changes in the way travelers are advised about health abroad. Worldwide studies have shown that health officers often give inadequate travel health advice that is not up-to-date, many people assume they will be told about health risks and don't realize they should seek advice themselves, and most brochures don't contain any health information. The report suggested that instead of relying on the Foreign Office to give advice, travel agents, insurers, the media and guide books should all pass on health information. It said there should be more projects along the lines of the "Know Before You Go" campaign which asks travel companies to pass on Foreign Office's advice to customers. But it said advisers should not be overly scrutinized (检查) in case they stopped publishing warnings, and travelers should be aware there is always an element of uncertainty in any health warning. Equally, the report said that too many warnings might mean tourists would stop paying attention to them.
1. Most tourists traveling in foreign countries have little knowledge of ______.
A.the health problem on the trip
B.the diseases they have developed
C.the policy of the destination country
D.the advice given by the local hospital
A B C D
A
[解析] 此题为细节题。解题关键在于文章的第一句话。题干have little knowledge of与第一段Most holidaymakers are not aware of the health risks they face abroad(第一段,第一行)中的are not aware of是近义词组,意思是“对……一无所知”。故答案选择A项的the health problem on the trip(旅游中的健康问题)。选项B表示“游客不知道自己患的疾病”不符合题意;选项C和D所表述的内容仅涉及目的地国家的情况,文中均没有提到。
2. The outbreak of a disease is harder to control because ______.
A.individual health problem is ignored by both the government and the tourists
B.the way people travel today has become more complex
C.there is lack of international cooperation
D.it is often infection in nature
A B C D
B
[解析] 此题为细节题。解题关键在第三段的第二句。将题干The outbreak of a disease is harder to control(疾病的爆发很难控制)作为关键词可以找到第三段第二句话The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns means controlling health problems is becoming even more difficult,该句表明了疾病难以控制的两个原因。The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns(旅游方式的强度和复杂性)。B答案中的complex与complexity是近义词。故答案选B。其他三个选项在原文中没有提到,均属干扰项。
3. According to a report in the "Health Travel", ______.
A.great changes have taken place in the way the tourists travel overseas
B.many travelers failed to realize the health risks they would face abroad
C.travel agents, insurers and media often give wrong health information to tourists
D.travel health advice provided for the tourists is not adequate and often out of date
A B C D
D
[解析] 此题为细节题。解题关键是Health Travel出现在第四段。在此段中,A项的内容与文中旅行方式多样化相关,但报告并没有说明这一方式的变化,与报告目的不符。选项B表达的“旅行者不知道自己出国旅行面临的健康风险”并不是报告中所要表达的主要信息。选项C中travel agents, insurers and media often give wrong health information to tourists的wrong是错误的健康信息,不是报告的内容;选项D与报告中所要表达的内容完全吻合。
4. The word "impact"(Line 5, Para. 3)most probably means ______.
A.affection
B.influence
C.contribution
D.significance
A B C D
B
[解析] 此题为猜测词义题。由文中第三段最后一句话Recent outbreaks of SARS and bird flu in the Far East have shown that even more relatively small outbreaks can have a great impact on countries' economies and the travel industry(最近在远东地区暴发的“非典”“禽流感”表明即便是较小规模的流行性疾病的暴发都会对国家的经济和旅游业产生影响)可以推断,该题关键在outbreaks of SARS and bird flu(“非典”和禽流感的暴发)对国民经济和旅游业都造成了巨大的影响。因此,impact的意思是influence,故选择B项。
5. The author's purpose in writing the passage is ______.
A.to stress the health threat that tourists face abroad
B.to inform people of diseases in scenic spots abroad
C.to advise travelers about what to do before they travel abroad
D.to discuss the relationship between one's health and world's economy
Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!" This guy's a winner, right? Maybe yes, Maybe no. We then discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser! He didn't say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this strategy. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, "During Governor Smith's term, the State lost one million jobs!" That's true. However, an honest statement would have been, "During Governor Smith's term, the State had a net gain of two million jobs." Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast(自夸), "Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples(疙瘩)." It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of deceiving happens too often. It's sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can be a lie as well.
6. The word "deceive" (Line 1, Para. 1) probably means ______ in this passage.
A.to tell someone to make his judgment
B.to refuse to believe that something is true
C.to make someone believe something is true
D.to give someone a wrong belief about something
A B C D
D
[解析] 此题为猜测词义题。在Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive.(第一段,第一行)That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest(第二段,第二行)中half-truth, lies和dishonest构成词汇连接,解释deceive。所以其词义为“欺骗”。从句中出现的be careful of(小心)来判断,只有当实情可能给人们造成错觉的时候人们才要当心,故答案选D的to give someone a wrong belief about something(对于某事给人错误的认识或看法)。
7. According to the passage,the half-truths used by advertisers in their advertisements are often ______.
A.illogical
B.interesting
C.misleading
D.persuasive
A B C D
C
[解析] 此题为细节题。题干是“根据短文,广告商们在广告中使用的半真实情况经常是______。”解题关键是最后一段第一行It's against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth(他们做出虚假声明试图误导你对事实的理解是违反法律的),故选择C。
8. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell readers ______.
A.to think carefully about what they read and hear
B.to avoid leaving out important information
C.how to read advertisements
D.how to deal with liars
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为推断题。全文从第一段提出问题Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive(当心被所谓的实情欺骗)到之后列举了“买彩票”“政客”“广告”等例子,进一步说明生活中人们是怎样被“半实情”所欺骗的,皆在表明文章写作的目的是告诉读者对他们所看到和听到的要谨慎思考。故选项A是正确答案。B选项是对行骗的人的警告(不要漏掉重要信息);C选项不是作者在本文说明的事情;D选项是如何对付撒谎者。但具体方法和措施作者在本文未提到。
9. Which statement is true according to the passage? ______
A.It's common to deliberately omit important information in a new report.
B.It's quite likely that the truth can be used in dishonest ways.
C.Most people became jobless during Governor Smith's term.
D.It is a fact that lies are lies but truths can hardly be lies.
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题为细节题。A项It's common to deliberately omit important information in a news report(在新闻报道中故意漏掉重要的信息是普遍的事情)中的news report作者并未提到。C项Most people became jobless during Governor Smith's term(在Smith执政期间绝大多数人失业)与During Governor Smith's term, the State lost one million jobs! That's true. However, an honest statement would have been, During Governor Smith's term, the State had a net gain of two million jobs.相矛盾。D项It is a fact that lies are lies but truths can hardly be lies与It's sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can be a lie as well.是矛盾的。故选择B项It's quite likely that the truth can be used in dishonest ways与文章中的第一句话呼应。
10. Which is the best title for this passage? ______
A.Why People Lie.
B.Making False Claims.
C.Lying with the Truth.
D.How to Win a Lottery.
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为主旨大意题。要求给文章起一个最合适的标题。通读全文可知,选项A,B和D的主要内容在文章中都讲到了,但每一项作为主旨大意又都不够全面。作者在文中的概括内容为Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive(第一段,第一行),That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest(第二段,第二行),故答案选择C项Lying with the Truth(用事实来欺骗)。
Now, online learning has become acceptable and common-place. It is seen by students and employees as a more flexible and convenient way to take classes; it will allow courses to be delivered more cost-effectively; and teachers figure they'd better start teaching online or be left without a job. Whether any of this is true or not doesn't matter—online learning is "hot" and everybody wants to be a part of it. The following questions are intended to guide you in your decision about whether an online course is a good match for you.
If you answered Yes to most of these questions, it is a good sign that you have the learner characteristics needed to succeed in an online course. If you answered No to most of these questions, it's possible that taking a fully online course may not be your best choice. You may wish to try online learning in a web-enhanced course to determine if a fully online course is the best choice to meet your educational needs. If you plan to take an online course at Armstrong Atlantic State University, you will have access to technology help with your course through Student Technology Services. They can be reached by phone 9275321 or by email at techhelp@mail.armstrong.edu.
11. From the passage we can learn that online learning has become "hot" because ______.
A.a lot of students like its flexibility and convenience
B.it doesn't require classrooms or other on-site facilities
C.everybody wants to be a part of it
D.more teachers start teaching online
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为细节题。由文中第一段第二句可知It is seen by students and employees as a more flexible and convenient way to take classes; it will allow courses to be delivered more cost-effectively; and teachers figure they'd better start teaching online or be left without a job(学生和雇员认为在线学习是更加灵活、更加方便的上课方式;……)可以得知,A项a lot of students like its flexibility and convenience(许多学生喜欢它是因为它具有灵活和便捷的特性)为正确答案。选项B和C在原文中没有明确提到,选项D是结果不是原因。
12. Those who ______ may not be successful when they take a fully online course.
A.have easy and convenient access to a computer
B.can find 12 hours a week on line
C.are poorly self-organized
D.are self-directed
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为细节题。由题干may not be successful when they take a fully online course可知本题要求考生判断“哪类人不适合全部的在线课程的学习。”从文中的10个问题可知C项are poorly self-organized(自主能力差)与Question 2中I am a very self-directed learner(具有自主能力的学习者)的说法矛盾。因此正确答案为C项。
13. If someone answered No to most of these questions, he's advised to ______.
A.take a fully online course
B.try a web-enhanced course
C.get access to technology help
D.choose courses on computer science
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题为细节题。题干是“如果某人对多数问题的回答是否定的,那么建议他______。”由文中结尾段第一、第二句话可知,如果你对10个是非题的回答多数是否定的,则建议你You may wish to try online learning in a web-enhanced course to determine if a fully online course is the best choice to meet your educational needs(尝试有网络辅助的课程的在线学习,以决定完全的网络课程是否是满足你的教育需求的最佳选择),因此选项B的“尝试有网络辅助的课程”是正确答案。
14. Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage? ______
A.Students who lack organizational skills are not likely to do well in online courses.
B.Adequate computer hardware and software are necessary for an online course.
C.Certain online courses are not well suitable for educational purposes.
D.Taking an online course requires a basic understanding of computers.
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为细节题。题干是“哪一个选项文中没有提到?”选项A的“Students who lack organizational skills are not likely to do well in online courses.缺乏组织管理能力的人不太可能圆满地完成在线课程的学习。”在10个判断句中的第一句就提到了。选项B的“Adeguate computer hardware and software are necessary for an online courses.(计算机的软硬件都必须能够满足网上课程的要求。)”是10个判断句中第9句“我的计算机有IE 5.0或更高版本或Net 4.x或更高版本,并且我的网络接口是56K或更好的调试解调器。”涉及的内容。选项D的“Taking an online course requires a basic understanding of computers.选择网络课程需要对计算机有一个基本的了解。”是10个判断句中第7句“我能完成基本的计算机操作任务。”涉及的内容。通过排除法得到正确答案C项的Certain online courses are not well suitable for educational purposes(某些在线课程不适合教育目标),此说法未被提到。
15. This passage is probably ______.
A.an application form for an online learner
B.a survey report about online learning
C.an analysis test on the characteristics required by online learning
D.an advertisement of the online course at an American university
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题为主旨大意题。从语篇结构分析可以判断本文是一则介绍宣传在线课程的广告。从文中最后一句“可以通过电话或email和他们取得联系”便知选项D的“an advertisement of the online course at an American university(一则美国大学网络课程的广告)”是正确答案。A选项意思为“在线课程申请表”;B选项意思为“在线学习调查报告”;C选项意思是“在线学习所需的性格特点的测试”,以上三项均不符合本文的内容。
If the developing-world Colombians are happy mostly because they really like to be and the developed-world Japanese are not so happy because, for them, personal happiness isn't part of the plan, it would seem to follow that one's happiness has little to do with material well-being and a lot to do with attitude—at least when it comes to filling out surveys. The planet's happiest souls, as determined by the World Happiness Database at Rotterdam's Erasmus University, are the Danes, the Swiss and the Maltese, all of whom score 8 on a 10- point scale of happiness. Most of Asians, including the Japanese, score 6 on this measure, while troubled Pakistan is near the bottom at 4.3. Biswas-Diener agrees that attitude counts, but also notes that highly developed nations, as a group, score consistently high, suggesting that it doesn't hurt a country to pave its highways and disinfect its water supply. Democracy, as measurement for most of the world, is a sure guide to happiness. And there are no superpowers when it comes to huppiness. The U. S. is pretty active, but in the study of international college students, it ranked the eighth, tied with Slovenia. It would appear that merely living as if you are No. 1, and running around the world shouting you are No. 1, doesn't mean that you feel like No. 1 inside. Even Biswas-Diener cautions that national-happiness rankings are crude instruments. That's especially true when comparing West with East, cultures where the pursuit of Chuang Tze put it, "happiness is the absence of the longing for happiness". Still, if you belong to one of the highest-ranking countries, you'll enjoy gazing at the big scoreboard and thinking about the source of your collective joy. Whereas, if your motherland fares badly, you might want to consider spending more time in Denmark.
16. Danes are happier than Japanese because ______.
A.they take a more positive attitude to life
B.they do not need to work so hard
C.they are a lot wealthier
D.they are from Europe
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题为细节题。以题干Danes(丹麦人)和Japanese(日本人)为关键词,可以找到第一段第一句作者比较两个地区的幸福指数后,指出it would seem to follow that one's happiness has little to do with material well-being and a lot to do with attitude...可知幸福与否和财富无关,重要的是态度。由此选择A的“they take a more positive attitude to life(他们对生活采取更积极的态度)”为正确答案。
17. The word "counts" (Line 1, Para. 2) most probably means ______.
A.works
B.decides
C.matters
D.explains
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为猜测词义题。根据第二段的第一句话和第一段的主要内容,即幸福与财富无关,而和态度有很大的关系,在这个特定的语句中Biswas-Diener agrees that attitude counts可以判断count应理解为“要紧;有影响”的意思,而选项中只有matters有此意(如It doesn't matter),故选择C项。
18. Another factor contributing to happiness is ______.
A.highways
B.democracy
C.higher education
D.unpolluted water supply
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题为细节题。解题依据在第二段第三行Democracy, as measurement for most of world, is a sure guide to happiness(民主,作为世界大多数地方的衡量标准,是引领幸福的一个确定因素)故选择B。选项A和D不符合题意,选项C在文中并未提到。
19. The fact that the U. S. ranked eighth in the study of international colleges shows that ______.
A.Americans like to claim happiness
B.American college students are active
C.America has close relationship with Slovenia
D.Americans are not as happy as they appear to be
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题为细节题。本题的问题是“美国排名第八这个事实表明什么”。第二段第五行的The U.S.is pretty active, but in the study of international college students, it ranked the eighth, tied with Slovenia. It would appear that merely living as if you are No.1, and running around the world shouting you are No. 1, doesn't mean that you feel like No.1 inside(在幸福感方面,貌似你是第一的,而且你也是在大声地表明你是第一的,然而并不意味着在你内心感觉自己是第一的),故答案选择D项。文章第二段中tied with Slovenia的意思是“与Slovenia得分相同”。C选项America has close relationship with Slovenia(美国与Slovenia有亲密的关系)与tied with Slovenia不是同一概念,意思不相符。选项A在文章中没有涉及。
20. What the Chinese philosopher said probably means that ______.
A.only the person himself knows whether he is happy or not
B.those who fight for happiness can never be happy
C.happiness will be available to those who don't seek it deliberately
D.you can never get the happiness without a long struggle for it
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题为细节题。中国哲学家庄子所说的Happiness is the absence of the longing for happiness意思为“幸福就是对幸福无所求”,与C选项的Happiness will be available to those who don't seek it deliberately(幸福属于那些不刻意追求幸福的人)符合。选项A是一个常识,但和原话意思有较大差异;选项B貌似正确,但存在逻辑错误,不刻意追求幸福就是一种幸福,并不代表追求幸福的人就一定得不到幸福;选项D和原话意思不一致。
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 with A, D, C and D. Then you should write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. Mark Clements, 53, a garageman, had long and untidy hair. Laura Shira, 43, who gives haircuts, needed car repairs. Rather than 1 for service, the two residents helped each other. A typical small-town favor, right? No, the two didn't know each other.

In a recent 6 , 78% said they didn't feel comfortable asking a neighbor for help. "We want neighbors to 7 like neighbors again. "says Kathryn Myron, who 8 the group in 1998. It's working. Hidi Hanson, 53, agreed to make " 9 phone calls" to Katie O'Brien, 66, who had suffered a stroke. The two became fast friends who now talk on the phone almost daily. "I don't even bother to keep 10 my credits anymore." says O'Brien.
1.
A.making
B.looking
C.paying
D.calling
A B C D
C
[考点] 本题从句子层面考查动词辨析。 [解析] 本题的重点在于Rather than(不是……而是……),句子的前后是对比关系。与help each other(互相帮助)相对的应该就是paying for service(花钱买服务)。故选C项。该题四个选项都能和for搭配,make for是“走向;向……前进”;look for是“寻找”;pay for是“为……付钱”;call for是“叫某人来;要求;需要”。
[考点] 本题从语篇层面考查动词辨析。 [解析] 第一段中多次提到人们交换服务,相互帮助,选项A有“交换”的意思,放在本题所在空格,构成一个完整的非限定性定语从句“..., where members trade their skills”,意为“在这个中转站里,会员们相互交换技术”。因此选项A项在四个选项中是唯一一个又可以和skill(技术)搭配使用,又符合上文“彼此互相帮助”之意的选项。
[考点] 本题从句子层面考查名词辨析。 [解析] 从本题所在句子的后半句78% said they didn't feel comfortable(78%的人说他们感到不舒服)可知,本句所陈述的内容应是通过调查得到的某一结论,故C项survey(调查)正确。选项A的interview意为“访谈;面试”;选项B的election意为“选举”;选项D的discussion意为“讨论”,均不符合句意。
7.
A.act
B.aid
C.feel
D.look
A B C D
C
[考点] 本题从语篇层面考查动词辨析。 [解析] 根据上文中提到的这个组织成立的宗旨是要打造“社区归属感”,可以判断本句的意思应该是“希望邻居能再度有邻居的感觉”。因此C项feel正确。本题的四个选项中,除了B项以外都可以和like搭配使用,但look like很明显不可能,而feel like(感觉上像)不仅符合前文中提到的NSE的“...at its heart it's building a(n)—of community...核心目的是营造一种社区归属感”,而且它还包括了act like(行动上像),故选项C正确。
[考点] 本题从语篇层面考查形容词辨析。 [解析] 由于第三段第一句话“It's working. Hidi Hanson, 53, agreed to make ______ phone calls....(为营造归属感而创办的)这一组织正在发挥作用”,因此H. H.应该是同意给K.O.(患过中风的另一位老人)打电话,以表示友爱。此外,根据上下文一个53岁的老人愿意给一个66岁的中风老人打电话,后来成了每天都要通话的好朋友,若要给这通电话下个定义,应该用friendly(友好的)最适合。
10.
A.in touch with
B.control of
C.track of
D.away from
A B C D
C
[考点] 本题从句子层面考查动词词组辨析。 [解析] 四个选项都能和keep搭配,而keep in touch with(保持联系),keep control of(保持控制)和keep away from(远离)和后面的credit(积分)搭配使用都不能使整句话符合逻辑,只有keep track of(跟踪、追查)放于句中(我甚至不愿再去查积分)才说得通,故选项C正确。
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. It's said that every country has its own social and ______ (economy) problems.
9. I'd just as soon you ______ (do) not drive the car while I'm gone.
did
[考点] 本题考查虚拟语气语法规则。 [解析] 该句考查的是固定句型would just as soon后接从句的时态用法。它的意思相当于would rather(宁愿),其后若跟动词则要求用原型;若跟that引导的从句(常常省略that),则从句中的谓语动词要求用“过去式”。所以,do应改为相应的过去式did的形式。
10. All of them stared at him carefully, as though ______ (try) to understand something.
trying
[考点] 本题考查现在分词的用法。 [解析] 通读全句后可以看出,虽然有as though这个连词,但其后并没有主语出现,因此这并不是主从复合句,而是连词加分词作状语的非谓语形式。整句话的主语是all of them,与try是主动关系______“他们所有人努力地想要弄明白什么事”。因此,要把动词try变成相应的现在分词trying的形式。
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. Please fill out the application form and return it to me at your earliest convenience.
请把这份申请表填好后在你方便的时候尽快返还给我。
[解析] 首先要准确翻译fill out the application form(填写申请表)和at one's earliest convenience(在方便的时候请某人做某事)这两个短语。另外,对fill out和return sth. to sb.这两个顺接的动作翻译得连贯通顺。
2. Much to our regret, we cannot at present entertain any fresh orders owing to the shortage of raw materials.
4. They have raised a claim against the insurance company for the damage in transportation.
他们就运输中的损失向保险公司提出了索赔要求。
[解析] 要准确翻译raise a claim against...for...(就某事向……提出索赔)这一固定结构,in transportation译为“在运输中”。
5. Once a contract is signed, it has legal effect; no party who has signed a contract has the right to break it.
合同一旦签署便具有法律效力,任何签字的一方均无权撕毁合同。
[解析] 注意被动语态a contract is signed在译成中文时,要变成主动语态,尽量符合中文表达习惯;另外,本题由两个并列句组成。在翻译前一句时要注意once是连词“一旦”的意思,后一句中则需注意party是指“(签合同的)一方”,定语从句who has signed a contract翻译成汉语后要放在其修饰的party之前。
