Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure This part is to test your ability to use words and phrases correctly to construct meaningful and grammatically correct sentences. It consists of 2 sections.
Section A 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) .

3. Mary never tells anyone else what she does for a ______ .
A.job
B.work
C.living
D.life
A B C D
C
[解析] 本题考查固定用法。living意为“生活、生计”,常与earn/make连用,即earn/make a living(谋生)。本题考查的是do sth. for a living(以……为生),故选项C为正确答案。 [避错指南] 干扰项为选项D。life也有“生活”之义,但不能和do for a构成词组,故可排除。
[解析] 此句为部分倒装。“by no means”意为“决不”;“look down on/upon”意为“轻视,瞧不起”。该句以含否定意义的词组“by no means”开头,助动词与主语的位置应倒装。C项不符合题意,故不选。例如: By no means should you quarrel with your Mum.(你决不该和妈妈吵架。)
6. It is essential that your application form______back before the deadline.
8. Many a teacher in our department ______ abroad.
A.have been
B.has been
C.have go
D.has go
A B C D
B
[解析] “more than one+名词”或“many a+名词”意为“许多……”。当它们做主语时,虽然表示复数含义,但谓语动词仍用单数。例如:Many a student does a part-time job in the spare time.(许多学生在课余时间做兼职工作。)

B.broke off
C.broke through

Section B There are also 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in brackets.

[考点] 固定搭配 [解析] 本意考查固定搭配would rather do…than do…,意为“宁愿……也不……”。rather和than后都要使用动词原形,所以填入动词原形give。give in表示“屈服,屈从”。
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension 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.
After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A) , B) , C) and D) . You want to get healthy. You know you need to exercise more. But you are not ready to do intense physical activities. Don't worry! The best thing for most of us may be to just go for n walk. Yes, walk. At a reasonably vigorous clip (five to six kilometers per hour) for half an hour or so, maybe five or six times a week. You may not feel the benefits all at once, but the evidence suggests that over the long term, a regular walking routine can do you good. Walking, in fact, may be the perfect exercise. For starters, it's one of the safest things you can do with your body. It's much easier on the knees than running and doesn't trigger side effects. Regular physical activity is probably as close to a magic bullet as we will come in modem medicine, If everyone were to walk briskly for 30 minutes every day, we could cut the incidence of many chronic diseases by 30 to 40 per cent. Walking is also a great way to lose body fat, so even if you don't 10se any weight, your body will have a healthier composition. Most people find they have to walk at least an hour a day to shed kilo.
1. According to the passage, what is the best way to get healthy?
This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45. The idea of rain making is almost as old as man, but it was not until 1946 that man succeeded in making rain. In ancient times, rainmakers claimed (声称) to be able to bring rain by many methods: dancing, singing, killing various kinds of living creatures (including humans), and blowing a stream of water into the air from a kind of pipe. More recently, some rainmakers claimed to make rain by shooting guns, causing explosions, or burning chemicals, the smoke of which was supposed to cause rain to fall. These rainmakers asked for as much as 1,000 dollars to make an inch of rain. One was so effective that he was almost hanged. He was believed to have caused a twenty-inch rain in southern California that flooded that land, killed several people, and did millions of dollars' worth of damage. Before 1946, rainmakers were either liars or honest people who happened to have' good luck. Scientific rain making was started in that year by Vincent J. Schaefer, a scientist at the laboratories of the General Electric Company in New York State. His success was the result of a lucky accident that changed years of failure into victory.
1. It has been about ______ years since man succeeded in making rain.

June 15, 2006 Dear Sir, Your shipment of twelve thousand "Smart" watches was received by our company this morning. However, we wish to make a number of complaints concerning the serious delay in delivery and your failure to carry out our instructions with regard to this order. Late delivery of the goods has caused us to disappoint several of our most valued customers.

Part Ⅳ Translation
1. An individual human existence should be like a river -- small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being. The man who, in old age, Can see his life in this way, will not suffer from the fear of death, since the things he cares for will continue. And if, with the decay of vitality, weariness increases, the thought of rest will be not unwelcome. I should wish to die while still at work, knowing that others will carry on what I can no longer do, and content in the thought that what was possible has been done.
For this experience had made me reflect and see that I was definitely not the type of hero who could rally multitudes at his call. However, my loneliness had to be dispelled because it was causing me agony. So I used various means to dull my senses, to make myself immersed among my fellow nationals and turn to the past. Later I experienced or witnessed even greater loneliness and sadness which I am unwilling to recall, preferring that it should perish with my mind in the dust. But my attempt to deaden my senses seemed not unsuccessful—I lost the enthusiasm and fervor of my youth.
[难点注释] 1.反省:reflect。 2.振臂一呼应者云集的英雄:这个短语中定语部分很长,所以翻译为定语从句;其中“振臂一呼应者云集”根据字面意思翻译为rally multitudes at his call,即“喊一声就能召集很多人”,此句译为the type of hero who could rally multitudes at his call。 3.驱除:此处的“驱除”是“驱除寂寞”中的“驱除”,所以译为dispel更好。 4.麻醉自己的灵魂:dull my senses/spirits。 5.使我沉入于国民中,使我回到古代去:这个句子的两个分句都是典型的“兼语句”,可按NSVOC(主语+谓语+宾语+宾语补足语)结构进行翻译。 6.追怀:recall。 7.……都为我所不愿追怀,甘心使他们和我的脑一同消灭在泥土里的:此句在翻译时,逗号后为次要信息部分,所以处理成分词短语作状语。…which I am unwilling to recall,preferring that it should perish with my mind in the dust。 8.麻醉法:attempt to deaden my senses。 9.慷慨激昂:enthusiasm and fervor。
3. The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest men of the past centuries.
Last year, Canada received about 30,000 Chinese students, half of whom were below 18 years, according Canadian Education Centre's figures.
