For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A) , B) , C) and D) . You should decide on the correct answer. Having no language, infants cannot be told what they need to learn. Yet by the age of three they will have mastered the basic structure of their native language and will be well on their way to communicative competence. Acquiring their language is a most impressive intellectual feat. Studies of how children learn language generally agree that the most remarkable aspect of this feat is the rapid acquisition of grammar. Nevertheless, the ability of children to conform to grammatical rules is only slightly more wonderful than their ability to learn words. It has been reckoned that the average high school graduate in the United States has a reading vocabulary of 80,000 words which includes idiomatic expressions and proper names of people and places. This vocabulary must have been learned over a period of 16 years. From the figures, it can be calculated that the average child learns at a rate of about 13 new words per day. Clearly a learning process of great complexity goes on at a rapid rate in children.
1. What is the main subject of the passage?
A.Language acquisition in children.
B.Teaching languages to children.
C.How to memorize words.
D.Communicating with words.
A B C D
A
主旨大意题。从第三句Acquiring their language is a most impressive intellectual feat可以得知“习得语言是孩子们最惊人的智慧成就”,其他的几句话都是围绕着这句话来扩展的。所以正确的答案为A。

A.experiment
B.idea
C.activity
D.accomplishment
A B C D
D
语义理解题。feat和accomplishment(成就) 意思相近,所以正确答案是D。
3. The word "reckoned" in Line 6 is closest in meaning to ______.
语义理解题。It has been that the average high school graduate in the United States has a reading vocabulary of 80,000 words which includes idiomatic expressions and proper flames ofpeople and places.这句话中includes为单数,我们可知其先行词是单数reading vocabulary。所以B是正确答案。
5. According to the passage, what is impressive about the way children learn vocabulary?
A.They learn words before they learn grammar.
B.They learn even very long words.
C.They learn words very quickly.
D.They learn the most words in high school.
A B C D
C
事实细节题。从文中的最后两句话可以看出正确答案是C。
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. Once upon a time (not very long ago, either!) industrial goods were made to last forever. If you bought a car or a stove, it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment. You paid good money for it, and you took care of it. Nowadays industry has persuaded us that products shouldn't last a long time. It's cheaper to throw them away than it is to repair them. This has led directly to the "throw-away society" which is a tremendous waste of the earth's resources. Just think of the cars that are traded in daily, just because they are out of date. Think of the expensive packaging material that is thrown away every time a new object is bought. And we consumers have to pay for that material! Our industrial society has turned us into spoiled children. This wastefulness has gotten us into the mess we are in now. When we have no resources left, then we'll start to take care of what we have. But why can't we act before this happens? Why can't we go back to being a society in which the prevention of waste is a virtue?
1. Not long ago products were made to last______
A.for eight years
B.for ten years
C.for as long as you take care of them
D.for one's lifetime
A B C D
C
推理判断题。文中第一句Once upon a time(not very long ago,either!) industrial goods were made to last forever.可能导致误选D。结合You paid good money for it,and you took care ofit.这一句可以选出C。A、B项文中没有提到。所以正确的答案是C。
2. People don't repair many things nowadays because ______
A.they change their taste
B.they spend less to buy a new one
C.they find no place to repair them
D.they don't like to do so
A B C D
B
推理判断题。从第一段的这句话It’s cheaper to throw them away than it is to repair them.我们可以得知:修理费比把东西扔掉还要贵。由此可以推断B是正确的。
3. The shoppers have to pay not only for the goods themselves but also for ______

A: A foreign resident who is temporarily working in China, but who is employed by a legal entity not established in China, will normally be subject to Chinese taxation on the wages, salaries, and other remuneration only if the employee is present in China for a total of more than 183 days in a year. However, if the foreign resident is employed permanently by a Chinese company, regardless of whether it is a domestic or foreign invested company (foreign invested companies are Chinese companies) , or representative office, the foreign resident's salary will be treated as income originating from China and hence be subject to Chinese tax rules. Remuneration gained while performing work outside of China, which is paid by an enterprise either within China or outside of China, will be regarded as income originating from outside China. You must keep in mind that if you stay in China for more than five continual full years or become a Chinese resident, you will be generally subjectto Chinese taxation on your worldwide income.

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions: This part, numbered 61 through 65, is to test your ability to translate English to 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.

B.它将不会带你去得太远去找回你的有关计算机的基本知识。

D.你用不了多久就能重新拾起有关计算机的基本知识。
A B C D
C
翻译这句话首先要明确it takes sb.some time to do sth.的用法,意思是“花费某人多长时间做某事”。另外短语pick up有“捡起”和“获得”的意思。选项A和D译为“捡起计算机知识”不恰当,所以C为最佳答案。

D.他英文讲得如此好,以至我承认他是美国人。
A B C D
B
翻译这个句子要注意两点。首先so…that应译为“如此……以至于……”;短语take it for granted译为“认为……理所当然”。所以B为最佳答案。
3. Although he has wide interests,he has received little eduction in my estimation.
