16、ss attack.（分数：2.00）a.thatb.whichc.what d.whatever解析：解析：本题考查宾语从句的引导词。an old woman was badly hun为句子的主干，介词 in后为宾语从句，明显宾语从句缺乏引导词，而且引导词需做动词 describe的宾语，that在引导宾语从句时，不做任何成分，故排除；本句中未出现限定的范围，排除 which；此处已指定了具体的 attack，排除 whatever，因此选 what。本题也可以改写为：an old woman was badly hurt in an accident that the police de

20、terb.would have to looked afterc.had to look after d.should have looked after解析：解析：本题考查句子时态。题干包含由because引导的原因状语从句，主句表示结果，从句表示原因，主从句时态应前后照应，所以用一般过去时，故答案为c项。21.we are going to london next month. this will be the first time i _there.（分数：2.00）a.have traveled b.travelc.will traveld.am traveling解析：解析：本题考查

21、句子时态。句型“this is the firstsecondthirdtimethat从句”中，从句需用现在完成时，故答案为a项。22.john is _hardworking than his sister, but he failed in the exam.（分数：2.00）a.no less b.no morec.not lessd.no so解析：解析：本题考查固定结构辨析。no lessthan 意为“在方面不比差”，符合题意，故答案为a项。no morethan 意为“和一样都不”。not lessthan 意为“没有比更少；至少与一样”，相当于 at least asas。没

23、ein as，也应前置，故答案为a项。24.who _was coming to see me in my office this afternoon?（分数：2.00）a.you saidb.did you say c.did you say thatd.you did say解析：解析：本题考查插入语。分析句子结构可知，句子主干为去除空格后的所有内容，即“谁今天下午会到办公室来看我”，由此可知，空格处只是插入成分，选项中能够作插入语用到疑问句中的只有did yousay，故答案为b项。类似用法的还有do you think。句意为：你说今天下午谁会来办公室看我?25.she would h

24、ave been more agreeable if she had changed a little bit, _?（分数：2.00）a.hadnt sheb.hasnt shec.wouldnt she d.didnt she解析：解析：本题考查反义疑问句。当陈述句是一个主从复合句时，附加疑问部分一般要根据主句的谓语形式而定，故答案为 wouldnt she。26._you _further problems with your printer, contact your dealer for advice.（分数：2.00） a.if; hadb.have; hadc.should; h

25、ave d.in case; had解析：解析：本题考查虚拟语气。本句为省略了连接词if的虚拟语气，需将情态动词should提到句首引起倒装。根据句意表示的是对将来的假设，故排除if；had。也不是疑问句，故排除have；had。in case引导的状语从句中大多用should，也可用实义动词的陈述语气，也排除in case；had。27._we wish him prosperous, we have objections to his ways of obtaining wealth.（分数：2.00）a.much as b.as muchc.more asd.as well as解析：解

26、析：本题考查让步状语从句。本句为much as引导的让步状语从句，much as意为“虽然”，相当于although。句意为：虽然我们都希望他富起来，但我们反对他获得财富的方式。28.among the first to come and live in north america_, who later prospered mainly in newengland.（分数：2.00）a.had been dutch settlersb.dutch settlers were therec.were dutch settlers d.dutch settlers had been there解

27、析：解析：本题考查倒装。among介词短语放在句首，引起句子倒装，故排除b项和d项；本句是用过去时来叙述历史事实，而且谓语动词为be，并不表示某个动作的完成，故排除a项，答案为c项。29._there was an epidemic approaching, mr. smith _the invitation to visit that area.（分数：2.00）a.if he knew; would have declinedb.if he had known; would declinec.had he known; would declined.had he known; would

28、have declined 解析：解析：本题考查虚拟语气。表示对过去情况的虚拟，从句用过去完成时，主句谓语动词用would havedone。“had he known”相当于“if he had known”，故答案为d项。30.in the dark they could not see anything clear, but could_.（分数：2.00）a.hear somebody mournb.hear somebody mourning c.hear somebody mournedd.hear somebody had been mourning解析：解析：本题考查固定搭配。

29、hear sbdoing sth中，动词一ing作宾语补足语，指动作在进行当中。hear sbdo sth中 ，do sth为宾语补足语，指动作已发生、完成了，意思是“听到某人做了某事”，动作不再呈现，只能靠想象或回忆来叙述发生的事情，这里明显是指正在发生的动作，故答案为b项。二、 reading comprehension(总题数：4，分数：40.00)the head of the library of congress is to name donald hall, a writer whose deceptively simplelanguage builds on images of

38、。文章第一段提到霍尔用看似简单的语言描绘新英格兰地区的风光，deceptively意为“欺骗性地”，由此可排除a项；第一段提到霍尔是被美国国会图书馆任命为第十四任桂冠诗人的，而不是被国会任命的，故排除c项；第二段提到霍尔在老布什任期内曾是全国艺术基金会顾问委员会成员，故排除d项。(2).james h. billington_.（分数：2.00）a.likes the poems with great depth and width b.speaks highly of poems in simple english rather than complex onesc.prefers the

41、到，霍尔是对宗教右翼干涉美国文艺政策的尖锐批评者，并非文学评论家，故排除b项；文中仅提到 1997至 2000年间任桂冠诗人的罗伯特品斯基对霍尔出任桂冠诗人表示欢迎，没有提到其他前任桂冠诗人对霍尔的支持，故排除d项。(4).what can be inferred from the passage?（分数：2.00）a.mr. hall loves his wife very much. b.mr. hall takes the new appointment for granted.c.mr. hall has got great ideas from his wife.d.mr. hall

43、图书馆馆长任命霍尔为第十四届桂冠诗人。接着文章对霍尔和桂冠诗人作了介绍，由此可知b项最适合作本文的标题。most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said the words. words do provide us withsome information, but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder oureffectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily

44、 on words alone. words are usedto describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message. sometimeswe can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. we dontalways say what we mean or mean what we say. sometimes our words dont mean anythin

45、g except imletting off some steam. i dont really want you to pay close attention to what im saying. justpay attention to what im feeling. mostly we mean several things at once. a person wanting topurchase a house says to the current owner, this step has to be fixed before ill buy. the ownersays, its

46、 been like that for years. actually, the step hasnt been like that for years, butthe unspoken message is; i dont want to fix it. we put up with it. why cant you? the searchfor a more expansive view of meaning can be developed through examining a message in terms ofwho said it, when it occurred, the

47、related conditions or situation, and how it was said. whena message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. let us assume two couples do exactly thesame amount of kissing and arguing. but one couple always kisses after an argument andthe othercouple always argues after a kiss. the ordering of the

48、 behaviors may mean a great deal more thanthe frequency of the behavior. a friends unusually docile behavior may only be understood bynoting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness. someresponses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses

49、 and defy logic. for example,a person who says no! to a serials of charges like youre dumb, youre lazy, and youredishonest, may also say no! and try to justify his or her response if the next statement is and youre good looking. we would do well to listen for how messages are presented. the words,it

50、 sure has been nice to have you over, can be said with emphasis and excitement orritualistically. the phrase can be said once or repeated several times. and the meanings weassociate with the phrase will change accordingly. sometimes if we say something infrequentlyit assumes more importance; sometim

51、es the more we say something the less importance it assumes.（分数：10.00）(1).effective communication is rendered possible between two conversing partners, if_.（分数：2.00）a.they use proper words to carry their ideasb.they both speak truly of their own feelingsc.they try to understand each others ideas bey

52、ond wordsd.they are capable of associating meaning with their words 解析：解析：事实细节题。第一段提到，言语能向我们提供信息，但含义来自许多其他来源，过度依赖言语本身将妨碍沟通的效率(hinder our effectiveness)。任何我们给出的信息都包含了相关的想法，而言语仅能描述其中的一小部分。如果我们能听到更多的话(listen for more than words)，有时就能洞察出这些相关的想法。d项是对原文的同义转述，故为答案。其他三个选项文中均未提及。(2).im letting off some steam

53、 in paragraph 1 means_.（分数：2.00）a.im just calling your attentionb.im just kidding c.im just saying the opposited.im just giving off some sound解析：解析：推理判断题。根据题干定位到第一段第六句，该句说“im letting off some steam我并不是真的想让你关注我说了什么，而是我的感觉。”根据后面的“并不真的想让你关注我说了什么”，可推知说话者前半句的内容应为：我是开玩笑的。四个选项中只有b项符合语境。(3).the house-owners

54、 example shows that he actually means_.（分数：2.00）a.the step has been like that for yearsb.he doesnt think it necessary to fix the step c.the condition of the step is only a minor faultd.the cost involved in the fixing should be shared解析：解析：事实细节题。文章第一段中，屋主嘴上说“台阶已经坏了好多年了”，其实台阶并没有坏了好多年，他的言下之意是“我不想修它。我们能

55、凑合着用，你为什么不行?”四个选项中只有b项符合屋主的本意。(4).some responses and behaviors may appear very illogical, but are justifiable if_.（分数：2.00）a.linked to an abnormal amount of assertivenessb.seen as ones habitual pattern of behaviorc.taken as part of an ordering sequence d.expressed to a series of charges解析：解析：事实细节题。由题干中的some responses and behaviors和illogical将本题出处定位于第二段。该段提到，行为的顺序所包含的意义比行为的频率要多得多。可能只有注意到某些需要异常多肯定的情况，才能理解一个朋友之后反常的温顺行为。一些反应可能与一系列反应模式直接相关，并且不合逻辑。接着举例说明：一个人一直对“你笨”“你懒”“你不诚实”等一系列指责回答“不”，可能会继续对“你漂亮”的评价回答“不”。由此可知，有些反应和行为可能显得非常不合逻辑，但如果将其看作一系列有次
