Part Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)1. The passage gives a general description of the structure and use of a landfill.【参考答案】 Y【解题思路】 通过文章开头以及各个段落的小标题，可以得知本文的主要内容就是讲了垃圾处理场的结构以及作用。2. Most of the trash that Americans generate ends up in landfills.【参考答案】 Y【解题思路】 根据关键词the trash和Americans定位在文章的第二段。特别是第二段的最后半句the majority is buried in landfills. But后面的转折就是强调，是语意重点，强调就是考点，而题干中Most of和the majority是同义替换词。明确表达了美国大部分垃圾被埋在垃圾填埋场，所以该表述是正确的。3. Compared with other major Industrialized countries, America buries a much higher percentage of its solid waste in landfills.【参考答案】 N【参考答案】 根据关键词solid waste以及other major Industrialized countries，将文章定位到第二个小标题How Is Trash Disposed of ?下面，文章中说与其他主要国家相比，美国在垃圾处理中排名在主要国家的中游，而题目说排名比较靠前，与文章意思矛盾，所以是错误的。4. Landfills are like compost piles in that they speed up decomposition of the buried trash.【参考答案】 N【解题思路】 根据关键词compost piles，将文章定位在第三个小标题What is a landfill?下面。根据文章所述，A landfill is not like a compost pile, where the purpose is to bury trash in such a way that it will decompose quickly.，与题目所述意思相反，所以是错误的。5. In most countries the selection of a landfill site is governed by rules and regulations.【参考答案】 Y【解题思路】 根据关键词rules and regulations和In most countries定位在第四个小标题下，而文中的In most parts of the world, there are regulations that govern where a landfill can be placed and how it can operate.正好是对题目意思的同义转述，所以为正确的。6. In the United States the building of landfills is the job of both federal and local governments.【参考答案】 N【解题思路】 根据关键词the building of landfills和In the United States定位在第四个小标题下的第二段，根据该段内容表述，In the United States, taking care of trash and building landfills are local government responsibilities（在美国，建造垃圾场是当地政府的责任和职责）。而题目说是联邦和当地政府的责任，与文章内容不符合，所以是错误的。7. Hazardous wastes have to be treated before being dumped into landfills【参考答案】 NG【解题思路】 根据关键词Hazardous wastes定位到文章的倒数第三段，在这一段的内容中，只提到了带有危险性的垃圾被禁止倾倒到垃圾场中，没有提到在倾倒进垃圾场之前必须被处理。8. Typical customers of a landfill are _ _【参考答案】 municipalities and construction companies【解题思路】 根据关键词Typical customers of a landfill，定位在最后一个小标题下，很容易可以得知答案。这道题目的解题的关键是Typical与文章中typically是同义词，只是形式不同而已。9. To dispose of a ton of trash in a landfill, customers have to pay a tipping fee of _【参考答案】 $10 to $40【解题思路】 根据关键词a tipping fee定位在文章倒数第五段，可以得到答案。在这个题目中存在一个替换：题目中a ton of trash替换文章中per ton。10. Materials that are not permitted to be buried in Landfills should be dumped at _【参考答案】 drop-off station【解题思路】 根据题意，讲的是在垃圾场不被允许填埋的垃圾的处理方式。而题目中are not permitted to与文章中的are banned from是一对替换词，所以很容易得到答案。 Part III Listening ComprehensionSection A11.

They should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them.W: Its all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas.

This is hardly a lonesome complaint, according to the families and work institutes, national study of the changing work force,（26） 55% of the employees say they dont have enough time for themselves, 63% dont have enough time for their spouses or partners, and 67% dont have enough time for their children. （27）Its also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestors returned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts,（27）and complained about how little time they had to paint battle scenes on their cave walls. The difference is that the boss of the animal hunting and the head of nut gathering probably told them to Shut up! or No survival for you! Todays workers are still demanding control over their time, the difference is: todays bosses are listening. Ive been reading a report issued today called When Work Works, produced jointly by 3 organizations. （28）They set out to find and award the employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility.

The more you give, the more you get. The more you want to give, Penalapy Leach once said. What she said proves to be true of my blended family. I was born in 1931. As the youngest of six children, I learn to share my parents love. Raising 6 children during the difficult times of the （29）Great Depression took its toll on my parents relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce. Several years later, a wonderful woman came into his life, and they were married. She had two sons. One of them is still at home. Under her influence we became a blended family and a good relationship developed between the two families. （30） She always treated us as if we were her own children. It was because of our other mother, daddys second wife, that he became closer to his own children. They shared over 25 years together before our father passed away. At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother, daddys first wife, attending his funeral. I will never forget the unconditional love shown by my stepmother, when I asked her if she would object to mother attending daddys funeral. Without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied, Of course not, honey, she is the mother of my children.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents divorce?30. What brought the father closer to his children?31. What message does the speaker want to convey in this talk?Passage ThreeIn February last year, my wife lost her job. （32）Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died of a heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the want-ads each day. （33）Then one morning, as I was hanging out Going out of Business sign at the greenhouse, the door opened and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company has just moved into the new office park on the edge of town. She was looking for part of plants to place in the reception areas and offices. I dont know anything about plants, she said. Im sure in a few weeks theyll all be dead. Why was I helping her select her purchases? My mind was racing.（34） Perhaps as many as a dozen firms have recently opened offices in the new office park, and there were several hundred more acres with construction under way. That afternoon, I drove out to the office park. By six oclock that evening I had signed contracts with seven companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked out an agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owners family. Business is now increasing rapidly. （35）And one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What do we learn about the greenhouse?33. What was the speaker doing when the customer walked in one morning?34. What did the speaker think of when serving the office manager?35. What was the speakers hope for the future?Section CWere now witnessing the emergence of an advanced economy based on information and knowledge. Physical(36) labour , raw materials, and capital are no longer the key(37) ingredients in the creation of wealth. Now, the(38) vital raw material in our economy is knowledge. Tomorrows wealth depends on the development and exchange of knowledge. And(39) individuals entering the workforce offer their knowledge, not their muscles. Knowledge workers get paid for their education and their ability to learn. Knowledge workers(40)engage in mind work. They deal with symbols: words,(41) figures and data. What does all this mean for you? As a future knowledge worker, you can expect to be(42) generating, processing, as well as exchanging information. (43)Currently, three out of four jobs involve some form of mind work, and that number will increase sharply in the future. Management and employees alike(44)will be making decisions in such areas as product development, quality control, and customer satisfaction. In the new world of work, you can look forward to being in constant training (45)to acquire new skills that will help you keep up with improved technologies and procedures. You can also expect to be taking greater control of your career. Gone are the nine-five jobs. lifetime security, predictable promotions, and even the conventional workplace, as you are familiar with. (46)Dont expect the companies will provide you with a clearly defined career path. And dont wait for someone to “empower” you. You have to empower yourself.Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section A【锦囊妙计】做选词填空题时，可按照以下三步进行：第一步，做题目之前先对全文进行通读，目的是为了了解文章的大意和结构，同时对空格中要填写的单词，尤其是对它的词性进行大概的预测；第二步，对文章后面所给多个单词按词性进行归类整理；第三步，根据上下文的联系、逻辑关系以及词性完成选词填空【词性分类】名词：B) composition G) nature M) headaches 动词：C) caused E) disturb H) arisen I) associated K) interfere L) present形容词：A) sufficient D) actual J) continuous O) unrelated副词：F) precisely N) reasonably 47.【参考答案】 F) precisely【考点直击】 副词辨析+上下文衔接【解题思路】 根据基本语法常识，首先判断本句应该填一个副词，其次，根据该段上下文语义进一步判断，该空的前一句讲到“虽然每个人都知或多或少的知道噪音是什么”后面的语意应该是转折的意思：然而最好为了科学目的定义噪音更为_47_. 很显然这里应该填一个褒义词，其次根据常识判断，与科学相联系的肯定是精确、准确之类的词汇。所以从备选的副词中进行选择，F) precisely最为合适。48.【参考答案】 O) unrelated【考点直击】 形容词辨析【解题思路】 首先根据语法判断，该空前有一个名词sounds,该空所填的必定是一个形容词来做该名词的后置定语，并且来修饰这个名词。然后，再根据上下文衔接以及逻辑判断，可以断定O) unrelated最为适合，意识是，有一种定义是这样的：噪音是一种与你手头工作没有关系的声音。49.【参考答案】 K) interfere【考点直击】 动词辨析+上下文衔接【解题思路】 根据语法常识首先判断，本句是一个强调句型。强调“这种声音是”判断该空应该填一个动词；然后最关键是根据上下文的联系和衔接，上文讲到噪声是一种与手头工作本身没关联的声音。而下文应该是个对比，也就是意思表达虽然与工作本身没关，但是也会对工作形成干扰和影响。因此K) interfere最为合适。50.【参考答案】 M) headaches【考点直击】 名词辨析【解题思路】 本题首先根据语法常识判断，应该填一个名词，这一点毋庸置疑。然后再根据上下文进行判断，本题是典型的对比考点的考题。该句的前半句讲到“这种声音在某些时候被认为是有关”，这给了后半句很大的提示，尤其是后半句的时间状语at another time，明显是前面是一种情况，后面又是一种情况，而且两种情况构成对比。因此，我们就可以判断该空填
