9、的某个地方)为正确答案。避错指南 选项B(在男士推荐的店里)，选项C(在过了铁路桥之后的第一个右转弯处)和选项趴在过了铁路桥之后的第二个右转弯处)都是与男士推荐的地方有关的信息，而女士的电视机不是在男士推荐的地方修的，故此三项均应排除。2.A.The charges are reasonable.B.Anyone can find it.C.The good repair and reasonable charges.D.No one can find it.答案:C听力原文Why did the man recommend the repair shop?解析 题目询问男士为什么推荐这家修理

10、店。根据男上说的“这家店修理技术好而且收费合理”可知，选项C(技术好，收费合理)是正确答案。避错指南 选项A(收费合理)不全面，未包括“修理技术好”；选项B(任何人都找得到)与选项D(没有人能找到)虽在对话中都提到了，但它们不是男士推荐这家修理店的原因，因此也应排除。 (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 3.A.Have a rest.B.Take a walk.C.Have a drink.D.Get to sleep.答案:B听力原文M: I wonder if you can help me.W: Id be glad to.M: Ive just arrived and Im n

15、 and two thirds are very poor. People in the richer countries dont understand the great differences between them and those in the poorer countries. A very simple example is that a dog or a cat in North America is better than a child in the poorer countries. A fisherman in South America may catch the

16、 fish which is made into pet food while the children in poor countries are not getting enough to eat for their bodies to grow properly. Although a lot of the worlds natural resources come from these poorer countries, its the richer countries that decide what kind of price they are ready to pay for t

17、hese resources. And the prices the richer countries get from their exports, however, are always rising, So they are getting richer and richer, and the poorer countries are getting poorer. What percentage do the poor countries account for in the world?解析 题目询问世界上的穷国占多少比例。从第一句“据统计世界上三分之的国家非常富裕三分之二的国家非常

18、贫穷”可得到答案two thirds。2. What may the fish the fisherman catches be made into?_ The fish is made into答案:pet food听力原文What may the fish the fisherman catches be made into?解析 题目询问渔夫捉到的鱼将会被制成什么。从关键句“一个南美洲的渔夫捉到的鱼可能会被制成宠物食品。”可得到答案为pet food。3.

Usually who decide the prices of natural resources?Its the _ countries that decide the prices.答案:richer听力原文Usually who decides the prices of natural resources?解析 题目询问通常

20、由谁来决定自然资源的价格。从句子“由那些比较富裕的国家来决定给这些资源一个什么样的价位。”可得到答案richer。5.

Hospi

21、tal doctors don t go out very often as their work takes _ their time.A.awayB.overC.inD.up答案:D解析 句意：医生们不经常参加社交活动是因为他们的工作时间比较长。该题考查的是动词短语的用法。take up有“用尽，耗掉或占用(时间、空间)”的意思。take away意为“带走”；take over意为“接管”；take in有“理解，接蚋，允许进来”等意思。问题:2. The clever boy made a hole in the wall _ he could see what was happeni

22、ng inside.A.at whichB.whereC.in whichD.through which答案:D问题:3. There is no point _ about the poor working condition here.A.in complainingB.to complainC.of complainingD.complain答案:A解析 句意：抱怨这里工作条件差是毫无意义的。该题考查的是非谓语动词。There is no point (sense，good，fun，harm，use，meaning)+in+动名词，表示“做某事没好处/没道理/没意思/没害处/没用/没有意

23、义”。问题:4. Once you gain confidence in yourself, you will surely make _ progress in your English study.A.suitableB.remarkableC.liableD.available答案:B问题:5. I remember _ to the zoo by my father when I was a child.A.to be takenB.had been takenC.being takenD.to be taking答案:C解析 本题考查的是动词remember的用法。remember

24、doing sth.意思是“记得做过某事”；remember to do sth.意思是“记住要去做某事”。因为被带着去动物园的事情已经发生过，所以应该用remember doing sth.的表达方法，并且I与take之间是被动关系，应该用动词的被动式，故选项C为正确答案。 避错指南 A项表将来要做的事，不合句子的意义；B项只能作句子谓语，而本句已经有一个谓语remember，此选项为：错误选项。D表示的是“将来进行”，而且是主动的，所以是错误选项。问题:6. The project will be finished at the end of this month; by then, we

25、 _ for ten weeks.A.are workingC.were workingB.have been workedD.will have worked答案:D问题:7. It can _ that there is no life on Mars.A.have been believedB.believedC.believeD.be believed答案:D考查被动语态，be+动词的过去分词。问题:8. In some countries,_ is called equality does not really .mean equal rights for all its peopl

26、e.A.whatB.whetherC.thatD.one答案:A解析 主语从句句意 所谓“平等”，在有些国家实际上并不意味着全体人民都享有平等的权利。解析 what引导主语从句，相当于the thing that，本题中what在主语从句中作主语。避错指导 whether和that都可以引导主语从句，但都不在从句中作成分，如：That you are coming to London is really the best news(你要来伦敦真的是最好的消息。)；如果选择one，则句子中的谓语冲突。问题:9. Love ought to be a give-and-take, each _ t

27、he others personality.A.respectsB.respectC.respectedD.respecting答案:D解析 本题考查分词独立结构。逗号后是分词独立结构，作状语作用。问题:10. A man escaped from the prison last night. It was a long time _ the guards discovered what had happened.A.beforeB.untilC.sinceD.when答案:ASection B问题:1. Learning how to use the Internet (effective)

28、 _ is very important for the students today.答案:effectively词性转换(形容词变副词)。学习如何有效地使用因特网对于现在的学生很重要。use是谓语动词，应该用副词修饰动词，effective的副词形式为effectively，意为“有效地”。问题:2. Earthquakes often cause great (destroy) to life and property.答案:destruction解析 cause后面需要名词作宾语，great是形容词，其后只能是名词。destroy的名词形式是destruction。问题:3. John

29、 not only learnt Chinese but also (know) _ the difference between his culture and ours.答案:knew问题:4. The price of petrol is much (high) _ now than it was this time last year.答案:higher解析 本题考查对形容词比较级用法的掌握。根据后面的than可知，这里要用形容词的比较级。问题:5. That was (apparent). _ a careless mistake caused by the bus driver.答

30、案:apparently副词修饰动词。Part Reading Comprehension It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation. Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount

31、 of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will obey spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Befor

32、e they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first

33、few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress(痛苦), sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three mo

34、nths they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire (能发出的全部声音). This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意识的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. 1. By . challenges explanation (the end of Para. 1) the

35、 author means that _.A.no explanation is necessary for such an obvious phenomenonB.no explanation has been made up to nowC.its no easy job to provide an adequate explanationD.its high time that an explanation was provided答案:C细节题。该题测试对词组“challenges explanation”的理解。文中第一段的意思是：“他(孩子)在如此短的时间就能做到这一事实，这是向原

36、有解释提出了质疑。”由此可以看出，对婴儿学习说话这一问题已经有解释，但是不能使人信服。因此，可以得出答案应为C。2. The third paragraph is mainly about _.A.the development of babies early forms of languageB.the difficulties of babies in learning to speakC.babies strong desire to communicateD.babies intention to communicate答案:A主旨题。第三段第一句就说明从婴儿开始发出含糊的声音到他能说

37、话之间的发展过程追踪起来很困难，后面都是围绕这一过程展开的。因此，可以得出答案应为人3. The authors purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that children _.A.usually obey without asking questionsB.are passive in the process of learning to speakC.are born cooperativeD.learn to speak by listening答案:D主旨题。从第二段第一句可以看出，学习语言是从听开始的，孩子学习语言

38、也是从听开始的，只是不同的孩子学习说话之前听的量不同，故可以确定D为正确答案。4. From the passage we learn that _.A.early starters can learn to speak within only six monthsB.children show a strong desire to communicate by making noisesC.imitation plays an important role in learning to speakD.children have various difficulties in learning

39、 to speak答案:C推断题。从第三段倒数第一句可以看出，模仿在学习说话的过程中起着重要的作用。因此，可以确定C为正确答案。5. The best title for this passage would be _.A.How Babies Learn to SpeakB.Early Forms of LanguageC.A Huge Task of ChildrenD.Noise Making and Language Learning答案:A主旨题。文章主要阐述婴儿是怎样学习说话的。B项意为“语言的早期形式”，显然范围过大；C项意为“孩子们的一个重大任务是”，不符合题意；D项意为“发出

40、噪声和语言学习”，范围太小。因此，可以确定A为正确答案。 A United Nations report is sounding an alarm on the state of the earths natural resources, in advance of this months U. N. sponsored sustainable development summit (峰会) in Johannesburg. The report says sea levels rose and forests were destroyed at unprecedented (前所未有的 )

41、rates during the last decade. It notes that more than 40 percent of the worlds population two billion peoplenow faces water shortages. And it predicts that with the global population expected to increase from six billion to eight billion people over the next 25 years, further environmental stress is

42、 expected. U. N. Under Secretary General Nitin Desai says the most important message in the report is that the worlds environmental crises are interrelated.

43、y hanging over a vast area of southeast Asia. Here you have a situation which arises because of the unsustainable way energy is used in this region, which is leading to these problems which impact on agriculture, on water, on health, said Mr. Desai. If you really want to address water, agriculture a

44、nd health, you have to address energy. You cant reduce poverty unless you also address land and water. You cant improve childrens health without addressing water and sanitation (卫生) and air quality. Mr. Desai, who will lead the Earth Summit, says that governments must form specific partnerships to r

48、urce shortage will be a great problem in the future.B.Poverty can be reduced by increasing production.C.Sustainable development is impossible.D.Southeast Asia is the most polluted area in the world.答案:A解析 论述环境保护的重要性和途径；文章列出了现在的环境危机，指出环境危机是相关联的，要保护环境就得从多方面着手；解题技巧 41题是细节题。询问联合国的报告是什么时候发布的，从第一段可知，报告是在s

49、ustainable development summit之前发布的，而从最后一段可知，这次会议就是the Earth Summit；42题是细节题，问“Asian Brown Cloud”作一个例子来说明什么。从文章第二段的第五六行可以判断答案是A)；43题是细节题，问是什么导致了关于农业、水和健康的问题，可以从第三段第一句话得知；44题是词汇题，根据address后所接的宾语water，agriculture and health可以排除A)，B)，D)项；45题是推断题。根据文章的要点和最后一段可以排除B)， C)，D)三项。 Our company, UK London Chauffe
