第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2 分,满分40分)

  阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A

    I still remember---my hands and my fingernails still remember---what used to be prepared for us on our return to school from the holidays. The school yard would be covered with fallen leaves, lying around here and there in piles. In some places there were even more than just piles of them; it would be like a muddy sea of leaves.

     "Get that all swept up!" the headmaster would tell us. "I want the whole place cleaned up, at once!

    At once! There was enough work there, very hard work, too, to last for a week. Especially since the only tools with which we were provided were our hands, our fingers, and our nails.

     "Now see that it's done properly, and be quick about it," the headmaster would say to the other pupils, "or you'll have to answer for it!"

    So at an order from the older boys we would set to work. If the work was not going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees.

    In order to avoid these blows, we used to bribe our "kings" with the cakes or other good food which we used to bring for our midday meal. And if we happened to have any money on us, the money would change hands at once. If we did not do this, the blows were doubled. They would hit us so badly that even a dumb person would have realized we were being beaten not to make us work harder, but to make us obey. Thus we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.

     Occasionally, one of us worn out by such cruel beating would have the courage to complain (抱怨) to the headmaster. He would, of course, be very angry, but the punishment the older boys received was always very small---nothing compared with what they haddone to us. And the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve in the slightest.

56. The writer says: "My hands and my fingernails still remember!" because ______.

   A. his hands and fingers bear the sense of memory   B. he could never forget his headmaster

   C. he suffered a lot from the hard work             D. he would remember his school life forever

57. The older boys beat the younger ones extremely hard because ______.

   A. they wanted to make the younger work quickly and properly

   B. they were too lazy to work themselves

   C. they knew this would make the younger offer bribes

   D. they knew the headmaster would do no punishment to them

58. When the younger boys complain to the headmaster ______.

   A. he would become very angry with them            B. it only made the matter worse

   C. it made no difference to them                     D. he gave the older punishing blows

59. Which do you think can be the best tide for this passage?

   A. Hateful Older Boys  B. What a Headmaster    C. Hard Days at School      D. Wrong Use of Power

B

     Without most people realizing it, there has been revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come into the market which are capable of doing the work which used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.

    The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors, or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.

     There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager's point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.

    But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器).The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.

     Whatever the arguments for and against word processors, they are a key feature of this revolution in office practice.

60. Ten years ago, large computers were only used by large companies because ______.

   A. small companies did not have enough money to buy such expensive computers

   B. large computers could not do the work that small companies can do today

   C. large computers did not come into the market

   D. small companies did not need to use this new technology

61 .According to the writer, the main progress made in office work over the last ten years is__.

   A. the saving of time and money         B. the use of computers in big companies

   C. the wide use of word processor        D. the decreasing number of secretaries

62. We can infer from the passage that with the use of word processors ______.

   A. some secretaries will lose their jobs

   B. daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hours

   C. medical problems related to work with a VDU have increased

   D. the British companies will make less money

63. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

  A. There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.

  B. The technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over the last ten years.

  C. The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors.

  D. Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses.

64. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that _____.

   A. safety screens are of poor quality

   B. working at VDU for a long time is good for one's health

   C. more and more people in British offices will use word processors

   D. British companies will need fewer and fewer managers

C

   The long-term bloody conflict has been a nightmare(噩梦)in the lives of thousands of Israelis (以色列人) and Palestinians(巴勒斯坦人) . Khalaf is one of them.

     Although she was born in the US, she has lived in the Palestine since she was one year old.

     Since last year she has lived in fear of bombs and attacks. Finally, her parents make a painful decision to send her back to the US.

     "I wanted so much to stay here and go to university here," she said. "I'm afraid of leaving my home and my parents. But here, the bloody attack is not going to end soon."

    The war has broken the dreams of a generation raised in peace.

    In the 1990s Israeli and Palestinian leaders were moving towards an agreement to end the long-lasting fight over territory (领土) and the ownership of the Holy City Jerusalem. This gave the new generation hope for a peaceful future.

    But now, at the Friends School in Ramallah, attended by children of rich English-speaking Palestinian families, only 300 pupils started the new school year, while last year there were 480.

     According to a recent report, 28 per cent of Israelis aged from 18 to 28 have considered leaving the country in the past 6 months.

     "To have a safe future, we have no other choice but to go abroad," a 16-year-old Israeli boy said.

    Not only does the future of the young generation lie in another place, but also the adults in both Palestine and Israel don't see any hope in their own countries.

65. Why did Khalaf s parents send her back to the US?

   A. Because it was where she was born.      B.They wouldn't like to do so, but they had to.

   C. Because she has lived in the Palestine since she was one year old.

   D. Because she wanted to leave her home and her parents.

66. Why did the new generation have hope for a peaceful future?

   A. The two sides settled their problems.                   B.The two sides fought against each other.

   C.The two sides moved towards an agreement in the 1990s.  D. The two sides reached a final agreement.

67. Which is true according to the news report?

   A. Khalaf has lived in the Palestine since she was born. 

   B. Khalaf has lived in the US since she was one year old.

   C. Khalaf has lived in the Palestine since she was one year old.

   D. Khalaf had never been to the US.

   While the rest of the world carried on cycling during the 1950s and 1960s, America forgot how; even high school students would drive to school. Recently there has been something of a renaissance (复兴) in cycling, and in many areas it is a very useful way of getting around, especially where bike paths or bike routes have been built. You may well want to buy, hire or borrow a bike.

     There are two important consequences (后果) of this earlier drop in cycling in the USA. One is that many people do not know how to cycle. That is, cyclists often behave more like pedestrians (行人) than motorists: they ride on the sidewalk or on the wrong side of the road; they do not care for stop signs or traffic lights; they ride without lights at night; they give no hand signals. The other consequence is that cycling is regarded by many people not so much as a way of getting from one place to another but as a way of life, a form of exercise, etc. As a result, large numbers of young Americans have ten-speed racing bikes. These are very high and fast and great if you are cycling long distances, riding up mountains or racing. At first, though, you may find them awkward for cycling in town, sight-seeing or shopping---they are expensive, uncomfortable and hard to control until you get used to them, and unsuitable for rough stony roads.

     There are also ordinary bikes around. If you get hold of one of these, you may find that the brakes work by pedaling (踩踏板) backwards. This is perhaps safer than ordinary brakes when it is wet, but it seems to be less effective. This arrangement also means you can't pedal backwards in order to get the pedals in the right place for getting on or moving off.

68. The passage gives us a brief introduction to _____.

   A. advantages of bikes  B. cycling in America   C. American transportation    D. how to ride a bike

69. Young Americans prefer racing bikes because they ______.

   A. are expensive and popular B. are easy to learn  C. are safer to ride  D. can help keep fit

70. Which of the following does NOT result from the early drop in cycling in the USA?

   A. Cyclists do not care for traffic lights.             B. People ride on the wrong side of the roads.

   C. Cycling is not considered a way of transportation.  D. People have to pedal backward to stop the bike.

71. From the passage we can learn that in the middle of the 20th century ______.

   A. many Americans enjoyed cycling            B. cycling was popular in the world

   C. racing bikes were better than ordinary ones    D. there were no special roads for bikes in America

    A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much more rapidly than a physics or economics textbook---but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.

    The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction . They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at four hundred words per minute, you might skim(浏览) through a .newspaper at perhaps 650---700, while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.

     Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, U. S. A, for example, have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example, Tolstoy's War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words per minute.

72. According to the passage, the purpose of effective reading with higher speed is most likely to help you____.

   A. only in your reading of a physics textbook    B. improve your understanding of an economics textbook

   C. not only in your language study but also in other subjects   D. choose the suitable materials to read

73.Which of the following does NOT describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph

   A.Those beyond one's reading comprehension       B.Those concerned with common knowledge

   C.Those without much demand for specialized knowledge

   D.Those with the length of about five hundred words

74. The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota is _______.

   A. about 300 words per minute          B. about 245 words per minute

   C. about 650---770 words per minute     D. about 500 words per minute

75. According to the passage, how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve

   half-hour lessons in the University or Minnesota?

   A.You can increase your reading speed by three times. B. No real increase in reading speed can be achieved.

   C.You can increase your reading speed by four times.  D. You can double your reading speed.

    I'm writing to tell you about the discussion we've had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks.

听力材料及答案:A卷:1-----5AABAA   6----10BBBBB   11---15AABAA   16---20CCCCC

Text 1:

M: I didn't expect us to have such good weather this time of year.

W: You call this good weather?

(Text 2)

W: When will we arrive in New York?

M: Let me see, it's now eight twenty. I think our plane will arrive in 20 minutes.

(Text 3)

M: Did you see the tears of laughter on the faces of everyone in the cinema?

W: Yes, the film was really very funny and interesting.

(Text 4)

W: Can I help you?

M: Yes, this is Mr. Smith, Room 116. The television in my room doesn't work.

W: I will send someone up immediately.

(Text 5)

W: I heard you were going to drive to New York this weekend?

M: Oh, but I have changed my mind.

W: What?

M: I think flying will be more comfortable.

(Text 6)

W: Have you travelled much in Britain?

M: No, not much. But I have traveled quite a lot in London every day.

W: Do you think the London transport is good?

M: Yes.I do. I think the London underground is wonderful. I nearly always travel by tube, because it is fast and comfortable. But I also like your double decker London buses particularly for short journeys.

W: But don't you think our buses are rather slow?

M: Yes, I do, particularly in the rush hours. The roads get very crowed and there are traffic jams everywhere.

W: When you are in a hurry,the best way to travel in London is by tube. Taxis get held up in traffic jams and besides, the price is quite high.

(Text 7)

W: Well, it seems that you are new here.

M: Yes, I have just come from Switzerland. And I am Jassie Green. Glad to meet you.

W: I am Li Xin. Nice to meet you. By the way,what is your major?

M: I am going to major in Biological Engineering. With working part time, it will probably take me two years to get my M.A. degree.

W: You mean you know Chinese very well?

M: I don't think so,but I really have learnt a lot before I came to China. I can communicate with Chinese people with simple Chinese,but I guess working is also a way to learn Chinese.

W: You are right. But you might be a little tired.

M: I am afraid so,but I think I can strike a balance between study and work.

W: I believe you can manage it well. And good luck!

M: Thank you very much.

(Text 8)

W: Where shall we go for our summer holiday this year?

M: We are going to London.

W: I am tired of going to the same place. Why not make a change?

M: What about Spain? We will have a wonderful holiday there.

W: Why not find a more popular place, like Hawaii? Beautiful weather and golden beach. I have long been dreaming of going surfing there since we were married.

M: That sounds good, but that may be much too expensive. The single air ticket from Paris to Hawaii costs 2000 franes or so just for one of us.

W: I don't think that matters. For we can save some money by buying less things there and stay fewer days than ever.

M: Well, since you are so eager to go there, we have to prepare our trip now.

W: Wow, thank you.

(Text 9)

W: Hi,David. Long time no see!

M: Hi, Maria. I was in the neighborhood,so I thought I'd drop by.

W: Come on in. Would you like some eoffee? I am cooking some coffee right now.

M: I would like some orange juice if you have.

W: Of course. Here you are. Uh, so how have you been?

M: Oh, I am doing okay. But school has been really hectic these days,and I have not had time to relax myself at all.

W: By the way, what is your major anyway?

M: Hotel management.

W: Well, what do you want to do once you graduate?

M: Uh ..., I haven't decided for sure, but I think I would like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you?

W: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in English,but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job using the language, so I changed majors to computer science. With the right skills, landing a job in computer industry shouldn't be as difficult.

M: So,do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school?

W: Well. fortunately, I won a four-year academic scholarship that pays for all my tuition and books.

M: Wow, that is great !

    Now about the news. An early morning fire damaged the historic Gallad House today. It destroyed the third floor of the building but fire fighters saved the first and second floors. There were only a few elderly people living in the building at the time and they were carried out to the safety. The Gallad House was built in 1718 and was used as a hotel for over 150 years. George Washington stayed here in 1782. The Gallad family owned the building until 1930's. Then they sold it to the Muss family. Five years ago it was made into a building for the elderly. Several fire departments were called to the scene. When we asked the fire chief Andrew Bond how the fire started,he answered that it was most likely a building cigarette caused it. Chief Bond promised to further examine of the cause.

第二部分:

21.D  本题考查冠词的使用。Charley Oakley在上下文中第一次被提到,用不定冠词来描述,an NBA All-star作同位语,not a/any game表示“一场也不”。

22.D   in particular为固定搭配,意思是“特别、尤其”。

23.D  本题考查动词辨义。人们只能从媒体方面捕捉到Laden的踪迹,因此用believe一词较为妥当。

24.D  此处是连词十不定式构成的不定式复合形式作定语,用介语with表示具体使用工具,“用这笔钱买药”。

25.D  此处用过去进行时,表示“昨天晚上举行音乐会的时候”,我在看比赛。

26.B  在not…until及not until引导从句时表示过去动作,主从句均用一般过去时,如I knew nothing about it until I read the paper.

27.B  根据句意,他聪明、勤奋与他有魅力之间没有因果或转折而是递进关系,用moreover表示“而且”的意思。

28.B  应对别人的道歉用Forget it.或Don't think any more about it.

29.B  only to do表示出乎意料之外的结果,to end作状语表目的,v-ing表伴随或补充说明谓语动词的情况,本小题属后者;and ends时态不对。

30.B  本小题考查短语动词。give out表示“分发、发布;发出(热、气味),” send out表示“发送、派遣;发出(光、气等)”,turn out表示“结果是”,rule out的意思是“排除、拒绝考虑”。

31.B  mostly是副词,表示“大部分地”,most是形容词,用来修饰名词或用作副词修饰形容词,表示“极其、非常”,因此本小题不能用most。

32.B  not十比较级表示“非常、很”之意,字面译作“没有比……更……的了”,如It can't be better(好极了)。

33.B  如果选would like to则应说would like to have,因为本题意表示“本来想去,而实际上没来”,was to have done sth.表示没有实现的愿望。

34.B  本句中有表判断的most probably,既然要用most probably来加强语气,前面的情态动词语气不会太强(must),也不可能太弱(might),用ought to表示“按理应该如何”。

35.B  come about表示“发生”,如 How did it come about?这事是怎么发生的?其他三项均与句意不符。

36.A  关于黄色书籍的问题引起了家长,老师及至全社会的关注。

37.B  街头巷尾,沿街叫卖的印刷品。

38.C  这些印刷品看上去与普通报纸一样。

39.D  虽说它们看上去与普通报纸一样,但它们根本就不是报纸,与报纸没有任何关系。

40.D  这些小报上虚构(make up)的故事大怪了,犹如天方夜谭,让人觉得难以相信,而不是“看不懂,不明白”(understand)。

41.B  仅仅是让人难以相信倒也罢了,更糟糕的是让人读了感到毛骨悚然。

42.A  这种虚构的故事,让人害怕的故事,第一段就称之为pollution,因此选poisonous。其他三选项均是称赞的言辞,不合文意。

43.B  此处的cost表示“让某人花费,使失去”,句子大意:这些报刊使他们用掉了本该买早餐的钱。

44.C  省出早餐的钱去买“报纸”,读过之后得到的却是噩梦与邪念。in return为固定搭配,意思是“作为报答,反过来却”。

45.D  本句指省吃俭用买来的“报纸”给他们带来的后果,“家庭作业没有做,日常游戏也不玩”。

46.C 本空用whoever而不用whatever引导状语从句,表示“无论他们是前面提到的哪个人群”。

47.C  make money的意思是“赚钱”,文中说在偷偷地数钞票。

48.C  此处提出一个建议,“禁止这种报刊”,下文紧接着说the more you want to forbid it,the more…,因此选forbid。

49.C  事与愿违,这一点行不通。后面接着具体说明为什么行不通。badly与句子结构不符。

50.C  用事例来证明上面的观点,你常常会看到这种情形。

5l.B  several children, one paper,中间动词当然用share,大家共看/传看一张报纸。

52.A  do harm to为固定搭配,意思是“……对……有害”。

53.A  对于这种黄毒,这种污染,家长老师都感到担忧。

54.D  the year readers即文首的young people。

55.D  用好书来帮他们“摆脱”这些有毒读物。

第三部分:

56.C  做卫生时没有任何工具,只有我们的双手,十指以及手指甲,一干就是一个星期,现在回想起来我的手指就疼,由此可见劳动之艰苦,至今历历在目。手指当然没有记忆力(A. his hands and fingers bear the sense of memory错),忘不了的是一周的劳动(he could never forget his headmaster错),而不是学校生活(he would remember his school life forever错)。

57.C  从文中的描述可知,那些在男孩用枝条抽打我们,为了免受皮肉之苦,我们就用从家中带来的食品、钱去贿赂他们,于是we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.不然的话the blows were doubled。

58.C  选it made no difference to them还是选it only made the matter worse在短文最后一句however much we complained,our situation did not improve in he slighest,可见情况没有一点改变。

59.C  短文回忆假期结束回校上课时打扫卫生的情形,我们要干一周的劳动,忍受别人欺负,没有劳动工具,校方不管那些大男孩,至今回忆起来历历在目,连我的手指,指甲都还记得,因此Hard Days at School为最全面的概括。

60. A 关键词句:Before that time large computers were only used bylarge rich companies that could afford the investment,言外之意,小公司太穷了,买不起大电脑。

61. C短文提到过去十年里办公室的变化是出现了computers,而the main development in small computers has been in word processors.

62. A  文中直接提到使用VDU出现的medical problem,直接提到使用WPS之后它在下班时间也能自动工作,题目要求是what can you infer。文中说假如日常文秘工作能用WPS处理的话,需要的秘书就会少些,言外之意是有些秘书会失业。some secretaries will lose their jobs不是直接提及而是推测。

63. C  关于电脑对健康的影响,过去十年电脑技术快速发展以及文字处理器能将秘书解放出来,文中均有叙述,文中没有提到英国公司为了职员的健康而限制使用WPS,因此B项说法不对。

64. C  使用文字处理器对健康有害,但这不是屏幕质量的问题(safety screens are of poor quality和working at VDU for a long time is good for one's health都不对),文中提到它会代替秘书而不是manager做更多的工作(British companies will need fewer and fewer managers错),文中提到文字处理器是办公室革命的一大特色,因此选more and more people in British offices will use word processors,会有更多的人用它。

65. B  从文中对巴勒斯坦人民的生活状况方面的描述可知,人们并不想离开这片养育自己的沃土,但为自己的safe future着想,we have no other choice but to go abroad.因此选They wouldn't like to do so, but they had to。

66. C  文中讲到在九十年代巴以领导were moving towards an agreement,因此选The two sides moved towards an agreement in the 1990s。

67. C  从短文我们得知,Khalaf出生在美国,一岁起就住在巴勒斯坦。

68. B  本文讲述如今美国人骑自行车的故事。

69. D  文中提到美国人骑自行车不是为了上下班而是a way of life,a form of exercise.

70. D  “人们要把踏板向后踩来刹车”是自行车的功能,与骑车人人数下降的后果无关,因此选People have to pedal backward to stop the bike。

71. B  从文中的描述我们知道,在二十世纪中叶,世界各地骑自行车运动方兴未艾时美国人忘了怎么骑自行车,因此选cycling was popular in the world。

72. C   短文第一句已有交待,higher reading rate,no loss of comprehension,这有助于你学英语及其他科目,因此选not only in your language study but also in other subjects。

73. A  关于阅读材料,第二段提到五百字长短(Those with the length of about five hundred words),关于一般论题,不需要很多专业知识(Those concerned with common knowledge和 Those without much demand for specialized knowledge)难度,因此Those beyond one's reading comprehension“让人看不懂的材料”不对。

74. A  最后一段谈到读速的问题,在明尼苏达大学,没受过训练者每小时读速240---250词,经过训练可达每分钟500词,因此选about 300 words per minute。

75. D  从全文尤其是最后一段可以知道,同样难度的书,受训前每分钟可读240---250词,经过训练可达到每分钟500,阅读速度提高了一倍,选You can double your reading speed。

第四部分:

76.is---was  77.去掉in  78.temples  79.visit后加it  80.but---and  81.completely   82.have后加been  83.√

84.planted  85.new前加a。

书面表达:

Dear Editor,                .

    I'm writing to tell you about the discussion we've had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. Opinions are divided on the question. 60% of the students are against the idea of entrance fees. They believe a public park should be free of charge. People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themselves. Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away. What is more, it will become necessary to build gates and walls, which will do harm to the appearance of city.

   On the other hand, 40% think that fees should be charged because you need money to pay gardeners and other workers, and to buy plants and young trees. They suggest, however, fees should be charged low.

                                                                  Yours truly,

                                                                   LiHua
