09年4月全国高等教育自学考试英语二模拟试题及答案PART ONE I1Dto chat over a cup of coffee意为“边喝咖啡边聊”；for和during都有“在期间”之意，但后面通常加时间；with意为“随着，用”；over意为“在(做)期间，边边。” 2B主从句主语应一致。原句应为“when it is taken according to”这里it is被省略，简化为“when taken”分词短语作状语。 3Cought可表示责任或义务。ought to +have+动词过去分词”表示“本应当”或“应当已经”。如：You ought to start at once你应立刻开始。You ought to have done it earlier你早就应该做那件事了。 qq99386708安全的过，安全的过。 4A这是属于This(It)is the first(second)time that从句的特殊句型。注意：在此句型中，不论主句中的动词是现在时或是将来时，分句的动词谓语均用现在完成时。例如：ItS the fourth time that you have arrived late this week 5Dwhich引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的整个句子。注意：非限制性定语从句不能用关系代词 that，只能用who(who，whose)或which引导，并在从句前加逗号。 6Alook侧重于面容、神色等表面上的“看起来”。如：She looks unhappyseem指说话人主观上的想法。如：She seems to be unhappy表示说话人认为她不快活，而不涉及他人的看法。appear常有“看上去实际上却”的意思。如：She appears unhappy从这句话中，我们可以理解为，她看上去不快活，实际上并非如此。译文：玛丽看上去跟平常一样情绪很好，但她得住几天医院接受检查。 7Bmatchwith把与相配，匹配，这里意为“当与相比较时”；associatewith意为“与联合”；be satisfied with意为“对满意”；connectwith意为“与联系”。 8Amake it out意为“领悟，明白”；make off意为“急忙跑掉”；make up意为“弥补，组成”；make over意为“转让，改造”。 9C这是复杂虚拟条件句，即虚拟条件句表示的动作和主句表示的动作发生的时间不一致，一个是对过去发生动作的虚拟，一个是对现在发生动作的虚拟，这时，动词的形式要按不同情况表示。例如：Had Paul received six more votes in the last election，he would be our chairman now 10Aappeal和call都含“呼吁”意。Appeal作“呼吁”讲时常用作不及物动词，后接to(呼吁的对象)和for(呼吁的事项)，“call for”常表示“取，需要”，而没有“呼吁”的意思。 IVocabulary and Structure(10 points,1 point for

failureThe authorities promised that it would not happen againPessimists(悲观主义者)were certain that it would occur again within five years at the latestIn July 1997，there was a repeat performance which produced varying degrees of chaos throughout the city of eight million peopleIn 1965，the failure occurred in the cool autumn and at a time of comparative prosperityIn 1997，the disaster was much more serious be- cause it came when unemployment was high and the city was suffering from one of its worst heat waves In 1965，there was little crime or looting(抢劫)during the darkness，and fewer than a hundred people were arrestedIn 1997，hundreds of stores were broken into and lootedLooters smashed shop windows and helped themselves to jewelry，clothes or television setsNearly 4000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the nightThe number of policemen available was quite inadequate and they wisely refrained from using their guns against mobs(暴徒)which far outnumbered them and included armed men Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windowsBanks and most businesses remained dosed the next dayThe blackout started at 9：33 Pm，when lightning hit and knocked out vital cablesMany stores were thus caught by surprise The vast majority of New Yorkers，however，were not involved in lootingThey helped strangers，distributed candles and batteries，and tried to survive in a nightmare world without traffic lights，refrigerators，elevators，water and electrical powerFor twenty-four hours，New York realized how helpless it was

disappointment long expressed by British youths is spreading across the continent The title of a rock song “No Future” can now be seen written on the brick walls of closed factories in Belgium and France Recent surveys have found that the increasing argument in the last few years over the deployment(部署)in Europe of North Atlantic Treaty Organization missiles and the possibitity of nuclear war have clouded European youths confidence in the future One form of protest tends to put the responsibility for a countrys economic troubles on the large numbers of“guest workers”from Third World

that young Europeans _ () Alook upon life as their elders do Bare more like Americans than their elders in their way of thinking Clook more like Americans than their elders do Dexpect more from Americans than from their eldersPassage 3 Question 31 to 35 are based on the following passage： Children are a relatively modern inventionUntil a few hundred years ago they did not exist In medieval and Renaissance painting you see pint-sized men and women，wearing grownup clothes and grown-up expressions，performing grown-up tasksChildren did not exist because the family as we know it had not
