Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A],[B],[C] and [D]. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage A
There was once a man in South America who had a parrot,a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town,Ketunnel. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say Ketunnel,but he never succeeded At first he was very gentle with the bird. But gradually,he lost his temper.“You stupid bird Why can't you learn to say that one word? Say Ketunnel or I will kill you.“But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed,“Say Ketunnel,or I'11 kill you.”But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally,the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. ”You are even more stupid than the chickens.“In the chicken house,there were four old chickens,waiting to be killed for Sunday's dinner. The next morning,when he went out of the chicken house,the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth,“Say Ketunnel,or I'11 kill you.”
11.Why did the man lose his temper?
第 3 页 共 21 页
A. Because the bird couldn't repeat his master's name. B. Because the bird screamed all day long. C. Because the bird uttered the wrong word.
D. Because the bird failed to say the name of the town. BestAnswer: D 详解: 选D。根据文章描述的事实He(指the parrot) could not say the name of his native town Ketunnel及其后鹦鹉主人的话say Ketunnel,or I'11 kill you,可知其生气的原因是鹦鹉不会说该镇名,故选D。原文说除了Ketunnel,这只鹦鹉会模仿任何人类语言,故A, C错。原文并为说鹦鹉整天尖叫,故B错。
12.Who killed the three chickens?
A. The cruel master. B. The man in the kitchen. C. The pet bird D. The fourth chicken. BestAnswer: C
详解: 选C。根据最后IL句话:On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth,\"\"Say Ketunel, or I'll kill you”,可推知凶手是鹦鹉。原文表明主人发现鸡死了,故A错。厨房里的人未在文中出现,故B错。第四只鸡正受到鹦鹉的威胁,是受害者而不是凶手,故D错。 \"
13.\"Why was the man shocked at the scene the next morning? A. The bird had finally understood his threat.
B. The bird managed to escape from the chicken house C. The bird had learned to scream back at him
D. The bird was living peacefully with the chickens. BestAnswer: A 详解: 选A。根据最后几句话描述的情景:On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth, “Say Ketunel,or I'll kill you,鹦鹉最终懂得了其主人的威胁话语,并将其转化为行动。由原文可知,那只鹦鹉并没有逃跑,而是正在威胁第四只鸡,故B、D错。鹦鹉威胁的话语是针对第四只鸡,而不是对其主人,故C错。\"
Passage B
In Britain, if you are found guilty of a crime,you can be sent to prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as tidying public places and helping the old. You may also be sent to special centers when you learn special skills like cooking,writing and car maintenance.About 5 percent of the present population are women.Many prisons were built over one hundred years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons. The open sort and the closed sort. In the closed sort,prisoners are given very little freedom. They spend three to ten hours outside their cells when they exercise,eat,study,learn skills,watch TV and talk to other prisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do,whether it is doing maintenance or cooking and cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night,but for the rest of the time,they are free within the prisons rounds. They can exercise,have visitors,or study. And some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work.
14.What do we know about women prisoners in Britain? A. They are kept in open prisons.
B. They are allowed out of the prison grounds. C. They are ordered to do cooking and cleaning.
第 4 页 共 21 页
D. They are a small portion of the prison population. BestAnswer: D
详解: 选D。根据About 5 percent of the present population are women,可知他们的比例很小。原文没有提到女犯人关在开放式监狱,或她们可以出监狱,故A、B错。也没有人命令她们做烹调和清洁工作,故C错。
15.In what way are open prisons different from closed prisons?
A. Some of their prisoners are allowed to study or work outside prisons. B. Most of their prisoners are expected to work.
C. Their prisoners are often sent to special centers for skill training. D. Their prisoners are allowed freedom to visit their families. BestAnswer: A 详解: 选A。根据文章对开放式与封闭式监狱的描写,知And some are allowed out of the ground(狱外)to study or to do community work为其最重要的区别。原文未说开放式监狱犯人都需要工作,但是说封闭式监狱犯人全部要工作,故B错。文中也未说他们被送往特别中心学习有关技能,故C错。由原文可知,开放式监狱允许探监,但犯人不能出狱看望家人,故D错。
16.What do we learn about prisoners in Britain?
A. They are encouraged to do maintenance for the training centre. B. Most of them get paid for their work. C. They have to cook their own meals.
D. They can choose to do community work. BestAnswer: B 详解: 选B。此题问的是犯人的一般情况。比照原文,Most of them are paid for what they do与选项B吻合。原文未说犯人们要为训练中心作维修工作或者要自己做饭,故A、C错。原文开头说犯人被命令做社区工作,可知他们没有选择的余地,故D错。
Passage C
London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or indistinct the street is,the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license. During this period,which can take two to four years,the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this,most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you“How do you get from Birmingham palace to the Tower of London?” and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower,they won't say“well done”.They will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions,they will just say“See you in two months'time.”and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore,many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot,because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.
17.Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?
A. Because they have a driving license. B. Because they have received special training.
第 5 页 共 21 页
C. Because the traffic conditions in London are good.
D. Because the traffic system of the city is not very complex. BestAnswer: B
详解: 选B。根据The reason…is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license,说明他们的效率来自严格的训练。有驾照是作taxi driver的条件,并不能说明他们的效率,故A错。原文没有提到伦敦的交通状况或伦敦交通体系的复杂程度,故C、D错。
18.How long does the training period last?
A. Two to four months. B. About three weeks. C. At least half a year. D. Two years or more. BestAnswer: D
详解: 选D。根据为:…this period, which can take two to four years。其他三项都不是对原文中“两到四年”时间的正确转述,故排除。
19.Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience? A. Government officers are hard to please.
B. The learner has to go through several tough tests.
C. The learner usually fails several times before he passes it. D. The driving test usually lasts two months. BestAnswer: B
详解: 选B。根据Learner taxi drivers are tested sever al times…The exams are terrible experience及其后举的一个例子,可知考试很难。文中所说的考试难,并非考官故意刁难,而是制度使然,故A错。文章说测试分几次方能完成,但未说考生考几次才能通过,故C错;文章中提到的二个月是测试间隔时间,而非持续时间,故D错。
20.Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs?
A. They don't want their present bosses to know what they're doing. B. They want to earn money from both jobs. C. They cannot earn money as taxi drivers yet. D. They look forward to further promotion. BestAnswer: C
详解: 选C。根据Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore,…,说明他们还不能靠开出租车挣钱。原文并未提到他们的老板或他们希望得到晋升,故A, D错。原文指出考驾照期间,他们并不能以开出租车为工作,故B错。
Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B],[C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage A
Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust.Other authorities,however,think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.
The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller,safer,and more economical,and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car
第 6 页 共 21 页
of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.
Regardless of its power source,the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urbantraffic congestion(拥挤).One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.
When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable(可伸缩的)arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail,which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail,the car will become electrically powered from the system,and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.
The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination. into the system. The computer will calculate the best route,and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer(蜂鸣器)that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour,compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a presen
21.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be______.
A. its power source B. its driving system C. its monitoring system D. its seating capacity BestAnswer:A
详解:选A。事实细节题。依据为第二段第二句话,A与原文的not be powered by the gasoline engine对应。B驾驶系统和C监控系统在原文都提到了,但均是在汽车通过自动高速道系统改用电力驱动下的不同情况,故B、C均不对;D乘坐人数,原文未提及。
22.What is the author's main concern?
A. How to render automobiles pollution-free. B. How to make smaller and safer automobiles. C. How to solve the problem of traffic jams.
D. How to develop an automated subway system. BestAnswer:C
详解:选C。主旨大意题。依据为第三段,提出汽车造成塞车的解决方案,后面两段就是对全自动化高速公路系统这一解决方案的详细描述,故C为正确答案。第二段提到未来汽车应该污染更少,体积更小,也更安全,但这三点都不是本文作者主要讨论的内容,故A和B均错;第四段提及自动化地铁系统,只是为了比较说明汽车电力驱动如何实现这一问题,不是作者讨论重心,故D错。
23.What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system? A. A rail. B. An engine. C. A retractable arm. D. A computer controller. BestAnswer:A
详解:选A。事实细节题。依据为第四段首句,其中those指rails,其后含powering分词短语表明其功能,即提供电力驱动,而similar to意为“与…相似的”,表明汽车也是靠rail(轨道)提供电力驱动,故A为正确答案。现在的和过去的汽车依靠engine驱动,但未来汽车已超越这一点,而是通过可曲伸臂与轨道接触从而从自动系统获得电力驱动,故A、C都错;主控电脑起监控汽车行驶的功能,而不是由电力驱动,故D错。
24. In an automated highway system,all the driver needs to do is______. A. keep in the right lane B. wait to arrive at his destination C. keep in constant touch with the computer center D. inform the system of his destination by phone
第 7 页 共 21 页
BestAnswer:D
详解:选D。逻辑推理题。依据第四、五段的描写,汽车行驶听令于电脑系统,涉及驾驶员角色的为第五段第一句和第三句,其中use a telephone对应D中by phone, instructions about his destination into the system对应D中informthe system of his destination,故D为正确答案。原文表明行驶路线与过程全由电脑控制,故A错;B表明驾驶员不用做太多事,但未回答他要做什么事,故B不对;驾驶员输人目的地后便可休息,而无须时刻与电脑中心保持联系,故C错。
25. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos? A. Enthusiastic. B. Pessimistic. C. Optimistic. D. Cautious. BestAnswer:C 详解:选C。观点态度题。主要根据第二段的正面描写:smaller, safer, and more economical, far more pollution-free等词反映作者乐观的态度,故C为正确答案。A热情的,一般不用于描写对未来的态度;B悲观的,显然不合原文语气;D谨慎的,由原作者提出的种种构想,可以推知作者的乐观态度,故D也不对.
Passage B
Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside,with a group of specially trained dogs,followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport;they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers,and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive,so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting,because they think it is brutal(残酷的),has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation(冲突)between hunters and hunt saboteurs(阻拦者).Sometimes these incidents lead to violence,but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell,which the dogs follow.
Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament,Mike Foster,is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed,wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.
26. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes______. A. for recreation B. in the interests of the farmers C. to limit the fox population D. to show off their wealth BestAnswer:A
详解:选A。事实细节题。依据为第三段首句,其中sport对应A中recreation,原文未提富人猎狐是为了农民的利益,故B错,第二段首句表明希望控制狐狸数量的是深受其害的
第 8 页 共 21 页
农民,而不是猎狐人的愿望,故C错;原文也未提他们猎狐是为了炫耀其财富,故D错。
27.What is special about fox hunting in Britain?
A. It involves the use of a deadly poison. B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs.
C. The hunters have set rules to follow. D. The hunters have to go through strict training. BestAnswer:C
详解:选C。事实细节题。依据为第三段首句,其中strict codes of behavior(严格的行为准则)对应C中的set rules,也与他们视猎狐为一项运动的说法吻合,故C为正确答案。第一段中提到农民用毒药杀死狐狸以除害,但在猎狐中未说使用毒药,故A错;第三段末句regularly表明猎狐经常发生,但B说rarely(很少发生),故B错;原文未提及接受训练一事,故D错。
28.Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game_______. A. by resorting to violence B. by confusing the fox hunters C. by taking legal action D. by demonstrating on the scene BestAnswer:B
详解:选B。事实细节题。第四段主要讲反对猎狐,本题答案依据为第四句,题干中有often一词,对应原文的mostly,原文misleading riders和disturbing the trail of the fox's smell都是扰乱猎狐的手段,对应B中confusing the foxhunters,故B正确。诉诸暴力只是偶尔发生,故A错;末段提到要求议会通过反猎狐的法律,意即当时尚不存在相关法律,人们无法可依,自然不能采取法律手段,故C错;原文未提示威游行,故D错。
29. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________.
A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxes B. forbid hunting foxes with dogs
C. stop hunting wild animals in the countryside D. prevent large-scale fox hunting BestAnswer:B
详解:选B。逻辑判断题。末段提到要通过一项新法律,本题答案依据为最后两句,其中关键词make... illegal对应B中forbid,原文hunting ... with dogs也见于B中,故B为正确答案。原文表明,农民并不是猎狐运动的主体,故该法律针对的不是农民,故A错;原文第四段指出有人反对猎狐,是因为他们认为该项运动很残忍,而该运动特点之一是用训练有素的狗追杀狐狸,这是残忍的体现,这也是该法律针对的一点,而不是禁止对任何野生动物进行捕杀,故C错;D中large-scale,原文未提规模大小与否是该法律的针对点。
30.It can be inferred from the passage that_______. A. killing foxes with poison is illegal
B. limiting the fox population is unnecessary
C. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent
D. fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich BestAnswer:C
详解:选C。逻辑推理题。依据为第四段第二句,其中brutal对应C中cruel,文中对猎狐的描写也反映出暴力、残忍的特点,故C正确。原文未说用毒药杀狐是非法的,故A错;首段说农民受狐狸之害不浅,表明控制狐狸数量是必须的,故B错.原文说猎狐常导致猎狐者与阻挠猎狐者之间的冲突,而不是导致穷人和富人间的冲突,故D错。
Passage C
For an increasing number of students at American universities,Old is suddenly in. The reasons obvious:the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom(生育高峰)generation,a longer life span means that the nation's elderly population is bound to
第 9 页 共 21 页
expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050,25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65,up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society,of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions,and in law and business as well.“In addition to the doctors,we're going to need more sociologists,biologists,urban planners and specialized lawyers,”says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California's(USC) School of Gerontology(老年学).
Lawyers can specialize in“elder law”,which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination(歧视).Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers,74 million strong,are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history.“Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with,say,an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,”one professor says.
Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was“really bored with bacteria. ”So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says,“I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.”
31.“…Old is suddenly in”(Line 1,Para. 1)most probably means“_______”. A. America has suddenly become a nation of old people B. gerontology has suddenly become popular
C. more elderly professors are found on American campuses
D. American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students BestAnswer:B
详解:选B。词义语义判断题。题干部分出现在第一段首句,与美国大学生相关;联系第一段第二句话中的the greying及末段提到的Margarite改修gerontology老年学)课程的例子可知,引文中Old指的就是gerontology, in有popular(受欢迎)之义,故B为正确答案。原文数据表明美国老年人数量增多,但仍只占少部分,不至于说美国是老人之国,因此A错误。原文未提到老年教授,故C错;也未说大学要招收older students,故D错。
32. With the aging of America,lawyers can benefit________. A. from the adoption of the“elder law”
B. from rendering special services to the elderly C. by enriching their professional knowledge
D. by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests BestAnswer:B
详解:选B 。逻辑推理题。依据为第二段首句,其中specialize in意为“专修”,意即获取关于老年人法律的专门知识,而这些知识是有关于家政服务与年龄歧视方面的,隐含义即可在这些方面为老年人提供法律方面的服务,故B为正确答案。原文用现在时的covers描述老年人有关法律,表明相关法律早已存在,只是现在才得到人们的重视,而A中有adoption(采用),故A错;C项的说法没有涉及服务领域,故C错;原文未提及获取老年人信任一事,故D错。
33. Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market? A. Retirees are more generous in spending money. B. They can employ more gerontologists.
C. The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power. D. There are more elderly people working than before. BestAnswer:C
详解:选C。事实细节题。答案依据为第二段第二句,其中babyboomers属退休人群最
第 10 页 共 21 页
富有的(the wealthiest),也就意味着他们拥有巨大的潜在购买能力,故C正确。有钱不一定慷慨,故A错;雇人不一定能赚钱,但肯定是花钱的行为,故B错;更多老人在工作,意即在赚钱,与商人赚老人的钱联系不起来,故D错。
34.Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage? A. Retirees who are business-minded.
B. The volunteer workers in retirement homes. C. College graduates with an MBA or law degree.
D. Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology. BestAnswer:D 详解:选D。事实细节题。依据为第二段末句,其中have a license to print money意为“有印刷钱币的许可证”,即发大财,对应题干中make big money, expert对应D中with an MBA or law degree, expert knowledge in gerontology对应D中a good knowledge of gerontology, 故D正确。原文提到的Student是新世纪劳动力主体,退休者不属该人群,故A错;志愿者不以赚钱为服务目的,故B错;原文说的挣大钱者须既有老年学知识,又要有MBA、法律等知识,二者缺一不可,故C错。
35.It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America's elderly population_______.
A. will provide good job opportunities in many areas B. will impose an unbearable burden on society
C. may lead to nursing home abuse and age discrimination D. will create new fields of study in universities BestAnswer:A
详解:选A。主旨题。依据为第一段第二句,其中the graying对应题干中的elderly population, means jobs对应A中的provide job opportunities。本文主旨是讲老年人市场提供“工作、挣钱”的机会,而不是消极认为老人是负担,故B错;nursing home abuse和age discrimination出现在原文第二段首句,为相关法律研究内容,不是老年人增多的后果,故C错;原文只说导致老年学突然受欢迎,说明对这方面的研究不是新出现的,而是早就存在,故D错。
Passage D
The decline in moral standards-which has long concerned social analysts-has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain,for one,is glad.
The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation's moral climate,says this ethics(伦理学)professor at the University of Chicago,is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.
But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles.“The thought that‘I'm in it for me’has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness”,Ms. Elshtain says.
Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities,in which neighbors looked out for one another,she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working,those bonds have been weakened,replaced by a greater emphasis on self.
In a 1996 poll of Americans,loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U.S. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that:Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s,such as classroom violence and a high rate of

births to unmarried mothers.
The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament(挽歌)for some nonexistent“golden age”,Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful(一厢情愿的)longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people,in fact,favor the lessening of prejudice.
Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society,she says.“Slowly,you recognize that the things that matter are those that can't be bought.”
36. Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans______. A. have adapted to a new set of moral standards B. are longing for the return of the good old days C. have realized the importance of material things
D. are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards BestAnswer:D
详解:选D。事实细节题。依据为第一段,题干pleased对应原文glad,原文decline对应D中lowering,captured the attention of average Americans的另一种表述为D中 Americans are awakening to,故D为正确答案。原文第二段说new ideas will。come forward,说明新道德标准尚未形成,更无adapt一说,故A错;原文倒数第二段明确否认B的说法,故B错;第三段首句说物质主义与个人主义是最大障碍,导致了道德水准下降,是关心问题的Elshtain教授不乐意看到的,故C错。
37. The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by_______. A. its growing wealth B. the self-centeredness of individuals C. underestimating the impact of social changes D. the prejudice against women and minorities BestAnswer:B 详解:选B。逻辑推理题。第三段第二句指出materialism与individualism是形成新思想,提高国民道德水准的最大障碍,该段引语及第四段末句也表明今日美国社会更强调自我,能反映这些观点的是选项B。原文未提到财富增长,故A错;道德水准下滑是社会变化引起的,而不是因为人们低估变化的作用,故C错;第六段说对于更高道德标准的期望不是挽歌也不靠剥夺妇女与少数人的机会,也就是说,道德水准下滑的现状与对妇女、少数民族的歧视无必然联系,故D错。
38.Which of the following characterizes the traditional communities? A. Great mobility. B. Concern for one's neighbors C. Emphasis on individual effort D. Ever-weakening social bonds. BestAnswer:B
详解:选B。事实细节题。本题答案依据为第四段首句,其中的look out for one another表明邻里相互关心,故B正确。A、C、D均在该段第二句中提到,都是用来描写今日美国社会的,故都不符合题干要求。
39.In the 1950s,classroom violence_______.
A. was something unheard of B. was by no means a rare occurrence C. attracted a lot of public attention D. began to appear in analysts’data BestAnswer:A
详解:选A。事实细节题。20世纪50年代课堂暴力在第五段提到,本题答案依据为该段末句,其中unheard of为关键词。B中by no means和rare构成双重否定,意即是常有的事,与原文从未听说过相矛盾;C描述的是现在的状况,而不是五十年代的,故C错;现在有这方面数据,50年代根本没有这种事,原文未说课堂暴力那时就受到分析家注意,故
第 12 页 共 21 页
D错。
40.According to Elshtain,the current moral decline may be reversed______.
A. if people can return to the“golden age” B. when women and men enjoy equal rights C. when people rid themselves of prejudice D. if less emphasis is laid on material things BestAnswer:D
详解:选D。事实细节题。依据为末段第一句,原文用含否定词的not... until句型,题干要求用肯定句同义转述;且原文也提到materialism即emphasis on material things是导致道德水准下滑的原因之一,所以要阻止下滑便须改变人们这种观念,表述这层含义的是选项D。第三段指出golden age是不存在的(non existent),故A错;该段也否认道德水平等同于男女平等,故B错;该段末句表明现在大多数人反对歧视,即C所提的条件,可道德水准下滑仍是不争的事实,故C也不对。

A.manually B. artificially C.automatically D. synthetically
第 15 页 共 21 页
BestAnswer:A
详解:选A。考点:词义辨析。第一个分句指出问题,第二个分句提出解决方案,空白处与instead of后的mechanically一词结构上对称,意义上相反,由此辨析词义得选项A. manually手工地,用手操作。automatically自动地,与mechanically为近义词,因有instead of“而不是”,表相反,故不选;artificially人工地,人为地,其反义词是naturally; synthetically合成的,综合地,不合题意。【题意】这艘船的发动机出现了故障,抽水机不能机器操作,只能手动操作.

59.Things might have been much worse if the mother_______on her right to keep the baby. A.has been insisting B. had insisted C. would insist D. insisted BestAnswer:B
详解:选B。考点:虚拟语气。根据主句“might+完成式”的虚拟语气结构,该句描述的是对过去事实的假设,所以if从句中应用过去完成式,故选B。选项A不能表达虚拟语气;C、D时态错误。【题意】如果母亲坚持她对孩子的监护权,事情可能更糟。
60.The statistical figures in that report are not_______.You should not refer to them. A.accurate B. fixed C. delicate D. rigid BestAnswer:A

61.Contrast may make something appear more beautiful than it is when______alone. A.seen B. is seen C.to be seen D. having been seen BestAnswer:A

One summer night,on my way home from work I decided to see a movie. I knew the theatre would be air-conditioned and I couldn't face my(71) apartment.
Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the(72) between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the(73)every time she leaned over to talk to him,(74) he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans display such (75)in a public place?
I thought the movie would be good for my English,but 76 it turned out,it was an Italian movie.(77)about an hour I decided to give up on the movie and(78) on my popcorn(爆玉米花).I've never understood why they give you so much popcorn!It tasted pretty good,(79).After a while I heard (80) more of the romantic-sounding Italians.

He didn't even have a Korean accent and I(86) like I had been betrayed.

71. A.warm B.hot C.heated D.cool BestAnswer:B
详解:选B。语义衔接。由前文的信息词 Summer night, air-conditioned,可知作者无法忍受的最可能是炎热,辨析词义应为hot,由Summer night可以排除C项,因为夏天不可能再“加热”;由前文的air-conditioned theatre可知不能忍受的不可能是cool,由此可以排除D项。由face(无法面对、无法忍受)可知也不可能是warm(温暖)。
72. A.crack B.blank C.break D.opening BestAnswer:D
详解:选D。语义衔接。由后文中的between the two heads可知此处应当表示物理空间的间隙,opening指缺口,空间,适用此项。进一步词义辨析可知,B项多指书面的空白处,故排除;A指整个物体上形成的裂缝,断裂开的缝隙;break多指时间上的间歇、空隙。由between two heads可以排除A、C两个选项。
73. A.aspect B.view C.space D. angle BestAnswer:D
详解:选D。语义衔接。由后文中的两个lean over可以推知,此处为视线角度的变化,最恰当的是D: angle,视角,观看物体所处的地点、位置或方向。选项B意为改变观点;选项A改变外表,改变方位;选项C改变空间或处所。
74. A.while B.whenever C.or D. and BestAnswer:C
详解:选C。结构衔接。由前后文的两个并行的lean over可以推知此处是一个表平行关系的词连接前后两个句子,从he, she两个代词的人称转换,可推知两个动作交替发生,故可以推断答案为or。从前面的逗号基本上可以排除A、B两个选项;从两个不可能同时发生的动作:kiss与talk又可以排除选项D(同理,也以此排除A、B)。
75. A.attraction B.attention C. affection D.motion BestAnswer:C
详解:选C。语义衔接。从前文theater, he、she, lean over, kiss这几个词可以推导出,这是一对恋人,因此选项D所表示的“爱情,亲密”最切合题意。从这种亲密关系与后文中的in public place也可以排除选项B与D两个内容宽泛的词;因为结尾是一个表示烦感的问句,所以作者也不可能认为这是有吸引力的。
76. A.since B. when C.what D.as BestAnswer:D
详解:选D。搭配衔接。as it turn out是一个固定搭配,表示“结果证明…”;也只有as可以引导方式状语。从语法上考虑,因为前后两项内容是同时发生的,选项A从意义上讲不通;如果是选项C,后面的代词it就不应当出现;When表示的是瞬间性的动作,与后文中的it was(非瞬间性的动作)相矛盾。
77. A.Within B.After C.For D.Over BestAnswer:C
详解:选C。逻辑衔接。后文中的decided是一个瞬间性的动作,因此确定了表示时间的词是一个时间点,而不是一个时间段,这就同时排除了表示时间段的A、B、D三个选项。“决定”的时间不会是B选项所示的一个小时,从不延续性动词decide就看出不能选for,,
第 19 页 共 21 页
或是选项D的整个小时,故选C
78. A.concentrate B.chew C.fix D.taste BestAnswer:A
详解:选A。搭配衔接。由句中的and可知,应与“放弃看电影”意思对应;又因为后文中作者只听到popcorn crunching between my teeth,与此相对应,“把心思放到爆米花上”最为恰当。选项D为及物动词,根据后面的介词on可以排除;fix on意为“(目光)注视”,所以也可以排除。
79. A.too B. still C.though D.certainly BestAnswer:C
详解:选C。逻辑衔接。由前文的taste good与so much popcorn,可以推知此处表示一个让步转折,故选择though最切合题意。选项A所示的是递进关系,选项B、D表示的平行关系,都没有转折的意味。
80. A. much B.any C.no D.few BestAnswer:C
详解:选C。语义衔接。后文中的just heard给出提示,此处应当是表示否定的词。A与后文的just heard意思矛盾;B选项any一般用在否定或疑问句中;D选项一般形容可数名词,放在此处不正确。
81. A.voice B.sound C.rhythm D.tone BestAnswer:B
详解:选B。语义衔接。由前文中的sounding与hear可知此处应当是一个表声音的词,咀嚼发出的声音只能是sound。又因为咀嚼是不会有语调语气的,故排除D项;咀嚼也不是音乐或美妙的声音,所以C项“节奏”,也难以成立;A项仅表示人或动物的叫声,也不对。
82. A.wonder B.wander C.imagine D.depart BestAnswer:B
详解:选B。语义衔接。由后文中的remember可知作者所想的是过去的事实,而思想走神一般用wander来表示。故“想象”是错误的;选项了“起程,离开”与remember意思矛盾;选项A表示“想知道”,但却没有下文,故也是错。
83. A. enjoyed B.happened C.turned D.used BestAnswer:D
详解:选D。搭配衔接。由后文中的frequently可知这是经常性的动作,used to是固定搭配,表示“过去常常做某事”。而B项为“恰好有一次”,与此意矛盾;C表示“转而做某事而尚未做”,与经常性动作不符;A项接不定式表示“意看电视”,与经常性动作不符。
84. A. until B.because C.then D.therefore BestAnswer:A
详解:选A。逻辑衔接根据语义,“感觉他是朋友”与“我见到他,然后感到受骗了”两者在时间有差异,在意义上有转折,故使用until来表示这种转折在时间上的变化。B项表示前后一直在延续,看不出转折的意味;两者之间没有因果关系的存在,故B、D两项皆不对。
85. A.artificial B.informal C.perfect D.practical BestAnswer:C
详解:选C。语义衔接。in stead of也表示前后是平行的关系,由后文的perfect Korean提示,可知后文应是Perfect English. C项是前文与后文两个perfect的重现,故perfect比practical(实用的英语)更适合;再由后文中“没有一点韩国口音”可知,A、B两项错误。

86. A.felt B.looked C.seemed D.appeared BestAnswer:A
详解:选A。语义衔接。前文中的I amazed,I remember,he seem like,以及“背叛”无一不是表示我的感受,故felt最恰当。因为朋友并没有真的背叛他,所以D项错误;C项表示“看起来像,而实际上不是”,其主语一般是it,而此处是I,因此不对;B项表示“有根据的,看起来像”,但主语是我时,表示我(被别人)看起来好像…,而不是表示我的感受。
87. A.While B.If C.Before D. Once BestAnswer:D
详解:选D。结构衔接。由句中使用的过去完成时态had begun与后文中的suggested可以推断,先学会单词后提议,所以选用once表示“一…就…”,前后两句符合一定的语法结构。我们学英语与母亲提建议不是同时发生,可排除A;两者互不以对方为前提条件,排除B;更不可能是我们还没学英语,母亲就提建议用英语讲话。
88. A.empty B. quiet C.stiff D.calm BestAnswer:B
详解:选B。语义衔接。后文中的avoid each other, in silence表明屋子里很安静,与B相符合。而D项表示“人看起来很平静,镇定”,不符合句意;C项说“房子里变得很呆板”,文中未有提及;A项说“房子里变空了”,与“大家坐在桌前吃饭”矛盾。
89. A. telling B.uttering C. saying D. speaking BestAnswer:D
详解:选D。搭配衔接。后文中的language确定了前面一定是speak,表示说某种语言。A项没有说话的对象,即句子宾语;C项缺说话的内容;B项表示“出声”,也没有宾语,故不对。
90. A. worked B. got C. came D. made BestAnswer:C
详解:选C。搭配衔接。只有C:结果,表示“说出来的话全是错的”,符合句意。A意为“计算出,得出(结论,结果)”,主语应当是人,此处的主语是it,所以不对。B使出来,主语也应是人;D项表示“弄清楚,书写,填写”,均与此处不符;况且作宾语,往往是get it out,make it out,work it out。
