During the second reading, you are required to put the missing words or phrases on the Answer Sheet in order of the numbered blanks according to what you hear. The third reading is for you to check your writing. Now the passage will begin. Today more and more people begin to understand that study does not come to and end with school graduation. Education is not just a college 1 ; it is life itself. Many people are not interested in studying at a college, and they are interested in 2 of learning. They may go to a 3 in their own field; they may improve their 4 skills by following television courses. They certainly know that if they know more or learn more, they can get 5 jobs or earn more money.
[解析] 11-15 Today more and more people begin to understand that study does not come to an end with school graduation. Education is not just a college (11)degr6e; it is life itself. Many people are not interested in studying at a college, and they are interested in (12) other kinds of learning. They may go to a (13)training class in their own field; they may improve their(14) work skills by following television courses. They certainly know that if they know more or learn more, they can get(15) better jobs or earn more money.
Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure Directions: 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 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 center.
1. Please keep a detailed ______ of the work that you have done.
3. The department manager ______ a new plan to promote sales at the meeting.
A.took away
B.put forward
C.looked after
D.got on
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题考查动词搭配。take away意为“取走”,put forward意为“提出”;look after意为“照顾”;get on意为“上车;继续进行”,若选此项,题中应为the new plan,而不是a new plan。根据题意,B为正确答案。
4. What he told me to do was ______ I should get fully prepared before the interview.
A.what
B.if
C.which
D.that
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题考查表语从句。题中what he told me to do是由what引导的名词从句做主语,句中基本结构是“主语+be+表语”,that引导从句作表语,所以,答案为D。此外,在I should get fully prepared中,句子结构完整,不再需要其他成分,A项可排除。根据题意,不需要“是否”或“如果”含义,可排除B选项。C项which引导定语从句,其前面是名词,所以C项错误。
5. When dealing with a ______ task. Alice always asks for help from people around her.
6. Location is the first thing customers consider when ______ to buy a house.
A.planning
B.planned
C.to plan
D.having planned
A B C D
A
[解析] 本题考查状语从句中主语和系动词的省略。当when,until,after和if等引导的时间状语和条件状语从句中的主语与主句主语一致时,这时从句中的主语可以省略,从句中的动词用v+ing形式。例如:The students came into the classroom,when hearing the bell.(当听到铃声时,学生们走进教室。)题中从句完整形式为...customers consider when they are planning to buy a house...customers和they主语一致,因此A为正确答案。 [用法拓展] 状语从句中,如果从句的谓语动词所表示的动作,先于主句谓语动词所表示的动作,从句要用现在分词完成式,即having + v + ed形式。例如;Until having grown up,the boy understood his mother's love.(长大了,这个男孩儿才懂得了妈妈的爱。)同理,从句中的动词与主语为被动关系的情况下,从句中的动词用过去分词形式v+ed。例如;If bitten by a snake,you should send for help and don't walk.(如果你被蛇咬伤,你应该求救,不要走动。)从句完整形式为If you are bit- ten...。
7. Soft drink sales in this city have ______ by 8% compared with last year.
8. If I hadn't attended an important meeting yesterday, I ______ to see you.
A.will have come
B.would have come
C.have come
D.had come
A B C D
B
[解析] 本题考查虚拟语气用法。在虚拟语气中,如果所叙述的内容与过去实际相反或不可能实现,用If...had done(过去分词),...would(should,could,might) have done句式。本题中的 yesterday 表明所叙述的内容是与过去事实相反,因此选项B是正确的。如;If you had come earlier,you would have met him.(要是你早点来,你就会见到他了。)
9. To obtain a visa to enter that country for the first time, you need to apply ______.
10. The new model of the car was put into production in 2007, ______ helped to provide another 1400 jobs.
A.that
B.when
C.what
D.which
A B C D
D
[解析] 本题考查非限制性定语从句。非限制性定语从句有两种使用情况,一种是只对所修饰的词作进一步的说明;另一种是所用关系代词指代前面整个句子。本题属第二种,which指代前面整个句子。翻译时,可译为并列句。例如.He broadcasts all kinds of programs,which change from month to month.(他广播各种各样的节目,这些节目逐月更新。)D为正确答案。
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 brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. My impression is that the sales of this company have (great) ______ increased this year.
4. No reader is allowed (take) ______ any reference book out of the reading room.
to take
[解析] 本题考查不定式。allow sb.to do sth.意为“允许某人做某事”。虽然该句中sb变为被动语态的主语,谓语为被动式is allowed,但后面的不定式不受影响,例如;His parents won't allow him to stay out late.(他的父母不会允许他在外呆到很晚。)He is not allowed to stay out late.(他不可以在外呆到很晚。)因此,空格处填to take。
5. Although you may not (success) ______ in the beginning, you should keep on trying.
succeed
[解析] 本题考查情态动词。句子may为情态动词,后面应接动词原形。Success是名词,其动词为 succeed。因此,空格处填succeed。 [用法拓展] success的形容词形式为successful,意思是“成功的”。但要注意,succeed除了“实现目标,成功”的含义以外,还有“接替,继任,继承”的含义。例如:Who succeeded Kennedy as President?(接替肯尼迪任总统的是谁?)形容词successive,意思是“连续的,接连的”;名词succession,意思是“连续,交替”;名词successor,意思是“继任者,接班人”。
6. Because light travels (fast) ______ than sound, lightning is seen before thunder(雷) is heard.
7. The doctor recommended that Mary (start) ______ the health program as soon as possible.
(should) start
[解析] 本题考查虚拟语气。在表示建议、要求、请求、命令等意义的动词作谓语后的宾语从句中,从句谓语动词为(should)+v原形,来表达应该做或必须做的事情。在美语中,should常可省略。这样的动词有:require,suggest,propose,recommend,demand,request,order,desire,command,resist,urge, ask,prefer,advise,等。例如;The situation required that he (should) be present.(这种情形需要他在场。)。由句中的关键词recommend可知,本题的从句谓语应用(should) start。因此,空格处填(should) start。
8. It took me several weeks to get used to (drive) ______ on the left side of the road in London.
driving
[解析] 本题考查固定搭配。get used to表示习惯于,to是介词,要求后面跟名词或动名词,因此,空格处填driving。 [用法拓展] 在固定句型中,to有时是介词,例如:be accustomed to doing sth.(习惯于做某事),look for- ward to doing sth.(期待做某事)。
9. This medicine is highly (effect) ______ in treating skin cancer if it is applied early enough.
10. Now the number of people who are working at home on the Internet (be) ______ still very small.
is
[解析] 本题考查主谓一致。本题主句的主语是the number,其谓语是单数第三人称,主句为The number is small.此外,of people是修饰限定the number的,而who are working at home on the Internet是 who引导的定语从句修饰限制people,因此,空格处应填is。
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 Directions: 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 should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Falls are the number one cause of death to old people at home. Most old people can live safely at home if they make a few changes. Falls are common as people are getting older. Up to half of home accidents could be prevented by making some very simple changes. Here are a few suggestions. Mark trouble spots with bright tapes. The first and last steps on stairs are usually high-risk accident are as. Applying bright tapes and using bright light in these areas would make these spots easier to see. Put grab bars(扶手) in the bathroom. A large number of falls occur in the bathroom. This is unfortunate(不幸的) because it's easy to make the area safe from accidents. Putting grab bars in the bathroom gives people something to hang on to. Invest in a personal alarm.

2. Last Steps on stairs may become a high-risk accident area if they are ______.
A.not painted in a different color

D.very brightly lit
A B C D

3. Falls in the bathroom are considered to be unfortunate because ______.
A.they can easily be avoided
B.old people seldom fall in bathrooms
C.grab bars do not help to prevent falls
D.bathroom accidents are difficult to prevent

A
[解析] 细节题。由题干bathroom 和 unfortunate定位到文章第三段第三句“...because it's easy to make the area safe from accidents.”(……因为使这样的地方不发生事故很容易。)A项they can easily be avoided,意为“在浴室的跌倒很容易避免”,与原文意思一致,是它的改写。B、C、D项均与原文相反。因此,答案为A。
4. A personal alarm is designed for old people to ______.

You can drive as far as you like without paying us a penny over the $ 99 as long as you return the car to the city from which you rented it. Insurance(保险) is included, gas is not. If you rent the car in Florida or in California, the rate is the same, but you can return the car to any city in the state.

A B C D
B
[解析] 细节题。由题干$99定位文章第二句“...we'll rent you cars of high quality for seven days for $99.”(……我们都会以七天99美元的费用租给你高质量的汽车。)而B项 renting a car for seven days(租车七天)与此句同义。因此,答案为B。

A B C D
D
[解析] 细节题。由题干include定位文章第三段第二句“Insurance is included,gas is not.” (保险包括在内,汽油自付。)说明A项错误。B项和C项所指的修车和旅馆的费用文章中均未提及。因此,答案为D。
3. The car-renting rate remains $ 99if you ______.
A.return the car to where you rent it
B.drive within the same city

D.pay for the gas
A B C D

A.you have to be responsible for the company
B.you should obey the rules set by the company
C.you can enjoy all-round services of this company

1. Why should you follow the directions carefully when using the machine? To use the washing maching ______

[解析] 细节题。本题询问“为什么使用洗衣机时要认真遵守说明?”根据第一段第一句话“To effectively use this washing machine,you must...”可知是为了有效使用这台洗衣机。
2. What is the first step for using the machine to wash your clothes? To throw the clothes of ______ into the machine.

[解析] 细节题。本题询问“用洗衣机洗衣服时,第一步做什么?”根据第二句“First,throw clothes of similar color into the machine...”可知首先,把颜色相近的衣服放人洗衣机。
3. Where can you find the correct amount of the detergent to be used? On ______
your detergent box
[解析] 细节题。本题询问“在哪里能找到洗涤剂正确的使用量?”根据第四句“Second,you should read the directions on your detergent box to find out the correct amount for your particular load.”可知洗涤剂包装盒上能找到。

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions: This part, numbered 61 to 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 write 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. Two assistants will be required to check reporters' names when they arrive at the press conference.
2. A guest paying full fare can invite another guest to join the tour at half price.
A.支付全额费用的客人,每位可以再带一位客人参加旅游,按半价付费。
B.支付全额费用的客人,每位需要再邀请一位客人参加旅游,按半价收费。
C.每位按半价付费参加旅游的客人,必须再找到一位全额付费的客人参加。
D.支付全额费用的客人,如邀请另外一位客人参加旅游,可退还一半费用。
A B C D
A
[解析] 此句是一个简单句。本题翻译重点paying full fare意为“支付全额费用”;can“能,可以”;join the tour at half price“以半价参加旅游”,这个动词短语做宾语补足语,动作执行者为宾语another guest(另一位客人),而不是主语a guest。D项中“可退还一半费用”,所指费用退还给谁,表述不清。B项将“可以”译为“需要”,把可选择的事情变成了必要条件。C项主语定位错误。综合分析A项最合适。
3. Congratulations on purchasing from our company the C800 Coffee Maker, which is suitable for home use.
A.我公司隆重推出C800型家用咖啡壶,欢迎各界人士惠顾。
B.您从我公司购买的最新款的C800型家用咖啡壶,值得祝贺。
C.恭喜您购买本公司田00型咖啡壶,此款咖啡适合居家使用。
D.您购买的咖啡壶是我公司最新产品—C800家用型,特此致谢。
A B C D
C
[解析] 本句是一个带非限制定语从句的主从复合句。完整的句子应为;Here are my congratulations on...。主句为口语体,省略了“Here are my”。非限制定语从句的先行词是the C800 Coffee Maker“C800型咖啡壶”。Congratulations on原意为“祝贺”,本句中可转译为意为“恭喜“purchase意为“购买”。综合来看C答案最为贴切。B项增译了“最新”,将“恭喜”错译为“值得祝贺”,且从句内容没译出。D项译错了congratulations,主句含义也改变了;A项“隆重推出”、“欢迎惠顾”与原文相去甚远。
4. Last month I booked a double room in the name of Mr. Brown for a week from the 14 th,January.
A.上个月我以布朗先生的名义预订了一间双人房,为期一周,从1月14日起算。
B.上个月14日我为布朗先生预订了一间房间,到现在已有一周时间了。
C.上个月我为布朗先生预订了一个双人间,到1月14日止刚好为期一周.
D.上个月,布朗先生为我预订了两个房间,到1月14日为止,共一周时间。
A B C D
A
[解析] 本句是一个简单句。本题重点把握状语。in the name of“以……的名义”;a double room“一间双人房”;from the 14th January“从1月14日起算”。因此A项最适合。C项的from短语译的不准确; B项的事情发生时间与原文不符;D项a double room译成了“两个房间,时向也错乱。
5. Thank you for choosing our restaurant during your visit to London.Services to guests of the restaurant are a large part of our tasks,and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve you.We would like to invite your comments on our performance and to learn from your experiences.Please take a few moments to complete our customer response form so that we may serve you better in the future.
