Now listen to the passage.Thirteen has long been considered an unlucky number by many Westerners who tried their best to avoid any connection to it. But some people are indifferent to it and the result proved not to be as dangerous as people thought.Born on Oct. 13, 1925, Margaret Thatcher got married on Dec.13, 1951. Exactly 3 years after the marriage, that is, Dec.13, 1954 , Margaret gave birth to a boy and a girl.Her son got engaged on Nov.13, 1986 when he was 32 years old. That year also marked the 35th anniversary of the Thatcher couples marriage. Many great activities were held on Dec.13 to celebrate the time of their marriage.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage youve just heard.11. How do many westerners consider the number 13?12.

Nov. 13, 1986 15. dangerous Part II StructureSection A16. 答案：C)【解析】 该题考查定语从句的内容。当先行词指物时，多数情况下既可以用关系代词which，也可以用that来引导定语从句，但当先行词是不定代词all, much, little, something, everything, anything, nothing, none, the one时，只能用关系代词that，而不用which，如：He wants to buy something that may be needed for the trip. 他想买一些旅行需要的东西。 【译文】 你想为自己买些什么吗？17. 答案：B)【解析】该题考查代词的用法。代词neither表示“两者中的任何一个都不”，如：Neither of them likes the book. 他们俩谁也不喜欢这本书。在有代词neither的句子中，谓语动词要用单数第三人称形式。因此，根据原句中所给的谓语动词knows，可以判断出正确答案为neither。【译文】他们俩都不知道答案，他们得请求老师帮助。18. 答案：C)【解析】该题考查非谓语动词的用法。like doing sth. 是固定搭配短语，意为“喜欢做某事”。在这里，动名词doing做动词like的宾语，如：She likes swimming. 她喜欢游泳。做这个句子时不但要了解like doing的用法，还要能看出这里需要用被动语态。【译文】她不喜欢在公共场所被讥笑。19. 答案: A)【解析】该题考查主谓一致的内容。表示部分概念或不定数量的名词或代词，如：all，any，some，half，most，part，enough，the rest等作主语时，谓语的单复数应根据它后面接的名词的单复数而定，如：All are here.都来了。All he did is wrong. 他所做的都是错的。 【译文】我们班一半的学生来自广东省。20. 答案：B)【解析】该题考查冠词的用法。介词短语in the habit of是惯用法，意思为“习惯于；经常地”；public places在句中表示泛指，因此前面不加定冠词。 【译文】有些人仍然习惯在公共场所吸烟。21. 答案：D)【解析】该题考查比较级的内容。根据原句中的easier我们可以判断出，这个填空处需要一个能修饰形容词比较级的词，而可以用来修饰形容词比较级的副词有：a bit, a little, a great deal, a lot, by far, even still, far, much, rather等，如：This room is a little larger than that one. 这个房间比那个稍大一点儿。因此应选择D)。【译文】测验比他们预想的要容易的多。22. 答案：C)【解析】该题考查虚拟条件句倒装的用法。虚拟语气用于条件状语从句中，在表示与现在事实相反的假设时，条件状语从句的谓语用“过去式（be的过去式用were）”, 主句的谓语动词用“would (should / could / might) + 动词原形”；在表示与过去事实相反的假设时，条件状语从句的谓语动词用“had + 过去分词”，主句中的谓语动词用“would / should / could / might) + have +过去分词”。如：If he were here, he would help us. If you had come earlier, you would have seen him. 这种带有虚拟语气的状语从句可以变成省略if的“were / had / should + 主语”的部分倒装形式。根据句子的意思和主句的形式，可以判断出该空表示与过去事实相反的内容。该句的正常表达方式是：If you had been more careful, you wouldnt have made such a serious mistake.【译文】如果你更小心些，你就不会犯这么严重的错误。23. 答案：B)【解析】该题考查介词的用法。解答此题的关键是能够在具体的语境中正确使用介词。在这个句子中介词短语“below the horizon”是“在地平线下”的意思。介词below指位置低于某物或在某物下方（但不一定在某物的正下方），其反义词是above；介词under常指在某物的正下方，其反义词是 over。因此正确选项为B)。【译文】太阳沉到地平线下，天渐渐地黑了。24. 答案：A)【解析】该题考查反意疑问句的用法。陈述句为there be 句型时，反意疑问句也用there be形式；陈述句的谓语动词为used to do时其反意疑问部分的谓语动词可采用两种形式，如：You used to go to work by bus，usednt you / didnt you？所以应选择A)。【译文】原来这附近有家医院，是不是？25. 答案：C)【解析】该题考查动词时态的内容。过去完成时由“had + 过去分词”构成，表示过去某一时刻或某一动作之前完成的动作或状态。在这个句子中，plan这个动作发生在call和get away之后，原句中的call和get都使用了过去时，由此可以得知，这个填空处的动词时态应该用过去完成时，表示在发生了call这个动作之前他曾打算去散步。因此正确答案为C)。【译文】他原来打算和妻子一起去散步，但有人给他打电话，他脱不开身。Section B26. 答案：is【解析】该题考查主谓一致的内容。the number of + 复数名词作主语时，其谓语动词用单数形式；但当a number of +复数名词作主语时，其谓语动词用复数形式。【译文】已发表的有关计算机的文章的数量很惊人。27. 答案：went / should go【解析】该题考查虚拟语气的内容。在“It is time（that）.”结构中，从句的谓语动词要用虚拟语气，它可以用动词的过去式，也可以用“should +动词原形”（should不能省略）。如：Its time you left.或 Its time that you should leave. 你该离开了。time前可以加high，表示强调。【译文】你该去上学了。28. 答案：were having【解析】该题考查动词时态的内容。when引导的状语从句有时强调某个动作正在进行，这时要用进行时态。根据主句的过去时时态可以得知这个动作发生在过去某时，因此可推断出该填空处应填过去进行时，故正确答案为were having。【译文】昨天晚上我们正吃饭的时候停电了。29. 答案：coming【解析】该题考查非谓语动词的用法。通过对句子进行分析，我们可以看出这个句子缺少主语，再通过句子所给的物主代词his，我们可以得知句子的主语应是名词，所以要选择动词come的动名词形式coming。动名词兼有动词和名词的特征和功能，在句中可作主语、动词宾语、介词宾语、主语补语、宾语补语、定语、表语和同位语。因此在这个填空处用动名词coming符合语法规则，也符合题意。【译文】他到这儿来将大有帮助。30. 答案：impolite【解析】该题考查词意转换。根据题意，这里需要一个形容词。虽然句中所给的polite是形容词，但在阅览室里吹口哨应该是不礼貌的行为，因此应该填它的反义词impolite。【译文】你在阅览室里吹口哨太不礼貌了。31. 答案：told【解析】该题考查虚拟语气的内容。在would（had） rather （宁愿）后的从句中用过去时态指现在或将来时间；用过去完成时态指过去时间。如：Hed rather she hadnt done that.他宁愿她没做那件事。【译文】我宁愿你明天告诉她真相。32. 答案：spoken【解析】该题考查非谓语动词的用法。在这个句子中，speak与其逻辑主语the language之间不是主谓关系，而是动宾关系，因此要用其过去分词形式作定语，修饰前面的名词。【译文】澳大利亚人讲哪种语言？33. 答案：approval【解析】该题考查词性转换的内容。根据原句可以看出句子缺少宾语，再根据前面的冠词，可以确定这里应该填名词。【译文】他的提议得到了委员会的批准。34. 答案：would have reached【解析】该题考查虚拟语气的内容。But for the heavy rain在这个句子中是一个明显的虚拟语气的提示，but for意为“要不是”，其后的句子中的谓语动词要用虚拟语气。在这个句子中，由于是对过去事实的虚拟，因此要用would + have +过去分词形式。【译文】要不是那场大雨，我们现在就该到达目的地了。35. 答案：is 【解析】该题考查主谓一致的内容。“分数或百分数 + 名词”构成的短语以及由“ a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a large quantity of, a heap of, half of + 名词”构成的短语作主语时，其谓语动词要与短语中of后面的名词的数保持一致，这是因为短语中后面的名词是中心词，而短语中前面的量词是修饰语。如：Two-thirds of the employees are young people.员工中三分之二是年轻人；Two-thirds of the apple is rotted. 这个苹果有三分之二已经烂了。【译文】这个房间眼下有四分之三的地方是空闲的。Part III Reading ComprehensionTask 136. 答案：A)【解析】该题为主旨题。所提的问题是“文章的主题是什么？”。通读文章后不难看出文章自始至终围绕着“赢者”这个主题。在四个选项中，只有选项A)与文章最贴切，即：造就一个赢者需要什么样的品质？另外三个选项均不是本文所涉及的话题。37. 答案：C)【解析】该题为细节题。所提的问题是“一个赢者应该”。根据第三段的第一句“Winners do not play “helpless”, nor do they play the blaming game.” 可知赢者不应该故作无助，也不应该怨天尤人。故C)项是正确的。38. 答案：B)【解析】该题为细节题。所提的问题是“下述哪一项不能被用来描述赢者？”。选项B) “timely”是“及时的”的意思，而文章第五段中的timing则是“掌握时机”的意思。其他三个选项在文章中均有提及。所以正确答案为B)。39. 答案：D)【解析】该题为细节题。所提的问题是“下述哪个说法是正确的？”。答案在第四段的最后一句 “ They can separate facts from opinion.”，即，赢者能将事实与观点区分开来。40. 答案：C)【解析】该题为主旨题。所提的问题是“下列选项中哪一个是最后段落的主题句？”。这道题考查考生对作者使用的写作手法的把握能力。这是一篇论述文，文章每一段的第一句（第一段除外）一般都是段落的主题句，因此C) 是正确的，即，这段要讲的是赢者关心这个世界和世界各民族。Task 241. 答案：B)【解析】该题为词汇辨析题。题干问的是“第一段中带下划线的词是什么意思？”。根据划线单词所在句子“ In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their lives more.”（在最后阶段，初来乍到的人开始适应周围的环境，最后，他们会更加喜爱自己的生活），以及文章第一段第一句“Experts say that it is not easy to get used to a new culture.”（专家们认为要适应一种新的文化不是件容易的事）中的提示可以推断出该短语的意思。 42. 答案：C)【解析】该题为细节题。题干问的是“根据科学家的观点，文化冲突有几个阶段？”。答案在第一段的第三句：“There are three stages of culture shock，say the scientists.”。43. 答案：D)【解析】该题为推理题。题干问的是：“根据文章所述，下述有关文化冲突的说法哪一种是正确的？”。答案在最后一段的前几句：“Culture shock gives rises to a feeling of disorientation. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick，people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment，and create an escape inside their room for a sense of safety.”（文化冲击给人们带来迷惘的情绪。这种感觉可能是思念家乡。在想家的时候，人们愿意整天呆在家里。他们想保护自己免受陌生环境的侵害，为了有安全感，他们想躲在自己的房间里）。通过这些信息，我们可以推断出受到文化冲击的人会很迷惘，会处在无所适从的状态。44. 答案：C)【解析】该题为细节题。题干问的是“文化冲突问题的长期的解决方法是 ”。答案在最后一段的最后一句：“Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long-term solutions to the problems of culture shock.”（逐渐了解周围环境并获得经验是解决文化冲突问题的长期的方法）。45. 答案：A)【解析】该题为主旨题。题干问的是“作者写这篇文章的主要目的是”。在整篇文章中，作者一直围绕着“文化冲突”这个主题。通读该篇文章，考生可以了解有关“文化冲突”的知识。因此正确答案为A)。Task 346. 答案：HK $295【解析】细节题。该题问的是成人的正常票价。答案在文章第一段第一句 “Tickets for adults: The regular price is HK $295 and the peak price is HK $350.”。47. 答案：the peak time 【解析】细节题。该题问的是“周末、暑假、法定假日和黄金周是”。答案在第二段中“ The peak time includes weekends, summer holidays, public holidays, and the golden weeks. ”。48. / 49. 答案：the ticket office; online【解析】推断题。该题的内容是如果人们提前通过手段购票，那么他们可以在处取票。答案在第三段的第二句“Its safer to book tickets in advance online, then pick them up at the ticket office.”。50. 答案：manage their time【解析】细节题。该题问的是“快速通道卡”可以帮助人们。答案在最后一段的第一、二句 “At each attraction you have the option of waiting in the normal line or getting a Fast Pass.
