3、ter. (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 1.A.Expensive.B.25 miles.C.$20.D.Cheap.答案:C解析How much does this shin cost?解析 本题询问的是价格。英语中用“How much?”表示“多少钱?”一般受话者应给出确定的价格金额，所以选项C(20美元)为正确答案。 避错指南 选项A(昂贵的)和D(便宜的)表达的是对物品价格的看法，且此两项互为反义，问答听力缺少下文语境，故可在预读题目时首先大胆排除这两项(因为如选项A正确，那么D也正确，而一题不可能有两个答案)；选项B(25英里)回答的是距离。 2.A.Whos that?

4、B.Well, you cant.C.Whom do you want to speak to?D.Wait for a moment.答案:D解析Hi，this is Henry JohnsonCan I speak to Jack?解析本题考查的是对电话用语的回答。说话人询问“我是亨利约翰逊，请问杰克在吗?”如果接电话的人正是要找的人，他可以回答“This is Jack speaking”(我就是。)如果不是可以说“Wait for a moment/Hold on，please”(请稍等。)如果要找的人不在，可以说“Hes out”(他出去了。)或说明其他原因，由此判断正确答案为选项D

5、(等一会。) 避错指南 选项A(请问你是谁?)与问句相矛盾，因为说话人已经在问句中首先说出了自己的姓名：选项B(你不能。)这样回答很不礼貌；选项C(你要和谁通话?)也与问句相矛盾，故均可排除。 3.A.Its wonderful.B.It doesnt matter.C.I once visited this city.D.Never mind.答案:A解析How do you like this city?解析 本题考查的是如何应对征求意见的提问。征求意见的常用例句为“How do you like/What do you think of(about)/Whats your opinion

6、 on?”意为“你觉得/认为怎么样?”在回答时应针对事物的某一特性做出明确回答，因此选项A(很不错。)为正确答案。 避错指南 选项B(没关系。)和D(别介意，没什么。)是在别人表示歉意时的回答，表示安慰；选项C(我曾经去过这个城市。)表达的是去这个城市参观过这一事实，并没有表明对这个城市的看法。 4.A.I like Mr. Zuo very much.B.I like English very much.C.Mr. Zuo came here last year.D.Mr. Zuo did.答案:D解析Hi，Mary，who taught you English last year?解析 根

7、据疑问词who可知本题询问的是谁做了某事。问句的意思是“去年谁教你们英语?”因此答案是选项D(是左先生。) 避错指南 选项A(我很喜欢左老师。)是个人对老师的看法；选项B(我很喜欢英语。)表示的是对英语的态度；选项C(左老师是去年来到这里的。)也是答非所问。 5.A.Congratulations!B.Have a good time!C.You are unmarried.D.Good job!答案:A解析Im going t0 marry Ellen next month解析 该题陈述的是一件值得恭喜的事，一般情况下受话者都会给以良好的祝愿，由此选项A(祝贺你!)为正确答案。 避错指南 选

8、项B(祝你玩得愉快!)是对聚会或旅游等活动的祝愿；选项C(你还没有结婚。)在此并不能作为回答的话语；选项D(真不错。)当对方做了一件比较出色的事情时，常用来表示赞扬的意思。 Section BDirections: This section is to test your ability to understand short dialogues. There are 5 recorded dialogues in it. After each dialogue, there is a recorded question. Both the dialogues and questions wi

9、ll be spoken two times. When you hear a question, you should decide on the correct answer from the 4 choices marked A, B, C and D given in your test paper. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 1.A.At 8:20.B.At 1

10、0:30.C.At 8:30.D.At 10:20.答案:D解析M：When does the next bus leave for Tokyo?W：Buses leave for Tokyo every two hoursYou just missed the 8:20 bus by ten minutesQ：When will the next bus leave for rokyo?解析 本题考查时间的推算能力。此类题目应重点抓住问题，本题的问题是下一班去东京的汽车什么时候出发。对于男士的问题，女士回答，去东京的汽车每两个小时一班，而男士刚好错过了8:20那一班，因此下一班的汽车应该是8

11、:20加上两个小时，也就是10:20，因此选项D为正确答案。 避错指南 本题中女士说男士错过了8:20的班车，晚了10分钟，出现的这个“10分钟”，实际上是一个干扰点，与答题无关，这个数字可不作考虑。选项A是男士没有赶上的车；选项C是对话发生的时间；选项B错误地将对话发生的时间加上两个小时当做下一班车的时间了，所以均不正确。 2.A.The new secretary is sick.B.The woman hasnt met the secretary yet.C.There are two new secretaries.D.The woman did not like the new s

12、ecretary.答案:B解析M：Did you meet the new secretary?W：I have been sick for three daysQ：What can we learn from this conversation?解析 对活中男士问，“你见过新来的秘书了吗?”女士回答，“我病了三天了。”由此可以推断出她还没有见过新来的秘书，所以答案为选项B(该女士还没见过这个秘书。) 避错指南 选项A(新来的秘书病了。)只要听清sick的主语即可排除；选项C(有两个新秘书。)和D(女士不喜欢新秘书。)在对话中无法找到与之相关的信息进行推断，所以排除。 3.A.Receptio

13、nist and client.B.Teacher and student.C.Employer and employee.D.Doctor and patient.答案:A解析W：Hi，Sirmay I help you?M：Yes，Id like a double room with bath for just a couple of nightsQ：What is t11e probable relationship between the man and the woman?解析 本题考查对对话人物之间的关系的判断。对话中女士说“有什么可以为您效劳的吗?”男士答，“我要订一间有浴室的双

14、人房。”由此可判断，男士是客人，女士是接待员，选项A(接待员和顾客)为正确答案。 避错指南 从女士说，“有什么可以为您效劳的吗?”可判断该女士工作于服务行业，选项B(老师和学生)可以排除：再从男士说的要订房间可判断该男士并非女士的雇主或者病人，排除选项C(雇主和员工)和D(医生和病人)。 4.A.Play tennis.B.See a play.C.Give a speech.D.Go swimming.答案:C解析M：Shall we go swimming on Sunday morning?W：Well，what I really like is to play tennis，but I

15、 have to make speech.Q：Whats the woman going to do on Sunday morning?解析 本题询问该女士星期天上午要去干什么，根据问题，关键要抓住女士回答中转折词but后面的句子“I have to make a speech”(我得去做一个演讲。)因此，女士既不能打网球也不能游泳，她星期天要去做演讲，所以答案为选项C(做演讲)。 避错指南 选项A(打网球)、B(看比赛)和D(游泳)都是利用对话中原句或单词形成的干扰项，因为转折后面的句子才是女士想表达的重点，所以只要注意到女士话语中的转折，便可排除这三个选项。 5.A.At 9:15.B.

16、At 9:35.C.At 9:50.D.At 9:20.答案:B解析M：I wonder if Jim caught the train yesterdayW：I think he didHe left for the train station at 9:15，but the train wouldnt leave until 9:35.Q：When did the train leave?解析 本题考查的是细节判断能力。问题问的是火车几点开，对话中“the train wouldnt leave until 9:35”为关键句，在此注意“notuntil”结构的意思为“直到”，表明火车直到

17、9:35才会离开车站，所以本题正确答案是选项B。 避错指南 对话中出现两个时间点，需注意辨清问题所问的是哪一个。“He left for the train station at 9:15”中leave for意为“出发前往”，因此确定选项A是吉姆出门赶火车的时间，排除该选项；选项C和D的时间在对话中并未出现，所以也可排除。 Section CDirections: In this section you will hear a recorded short passage.

24、lary and StructureDirections: This part is to test your ability to use words and phrases correctly to construct meaningful and grammatically correct sentences. It consists of 2 sections.Section ADirections: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You are required to complete each statement by choos

25、ing the appropriate answer from the 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.问题:1. I have kept that picture _ I can see it clearly, as it always reminds me of my university days.A.whichB.whereC.whetherD.when答案:

26、B解析 本题考查的是状语从句的关系词。根据句型keep sthin some place，可知应该使用关系副词where来引导地点状语从句，因此选项B为正确答案。 避错指南 选项A(which)在先行词为物的情况下作定语从句的关系代词；选项C(whether)引导宾语从句或主语从句，不能引导定语从句；选项D(when)一般表示的是时间关系。 问题:2. _ theyve moved, we wont see them very often.A.Now thatB.So thatC.As soon asD.When答案:A解析 本题考查连词的用法。now that意为“既然”，引导原因状语从旬，

27、故选项A为正确答案。 避错指南 选项B(so that)引导结果状语从句，一般不放在句首；选项C(As soon as)引导时间状语从句，如果主句用一般将来时，从句需用一般现在时，如：As soon as I get thereIll get down to the business immediately(一到那儿，我就立马投入业务中去。)选项D(When)引导时问状语从句。以上任何一项都不符合逻辑，故均为错误选项。 问题:3. He never laughed, _ lose his temper.A.or he ever didB.nor did he everC.or did he e

28、verD.nor he ever did答案:B解析 本题考查部分倒装。表示否定意义的词，如seldom，nor，neither，hardly等置于句首时。从句谓语部分要进行部分倒装，即谓语动词部分的助动词提到主语之前。故选项B为正确答案。 避错指南 注意常见结构eitheror(要么要么)的反义词是neithernor(既不也不)。选项D的错误在于没有倒装；选项C的错误在于用法有误，英语中没有neitheror结构；选项A含有选项C和D的错误。 问题:4. Mary never tells anyone else what she does for a _.A.jobB.workC.livi

29、ngD.life答案:C解析 本题考查固定用法。living意为“生活、生计”，常与earn/make连用，即earn/make a living(谋生)。本题考查的是do sthfor a living(以为生)，故选项C为正确答案。 避错指南 干扰项为选项D。life也有“生活”之义，但不能和do for a构成词组，故可排除。 问题:5. In this private school, a dentist _the pupils teeth twice a week.A.injuresB.instructsC.inspectsD.informs答案:C解析 本题考查动词的词义辨析。“检查

30、牙齿”应使用动词inspect，相当于examine。故选项C为正确答案。 避错指南 选项A(损害，伤害)、B(教导，通知)和D(告知，提醒)都不符合逻辑，故排除。 问题:6. We congratulate you _ the success you have got.A.byB.forC.onD.with答案:C解析 本题考查固定词组congratulate sbon sth(为而祝贺某人)。故选项C为正确答案。 避错指南 选项A(by)、B(for)和D(with)均不能和congratulate搭配，故为错误选项。另外，考生需要注意口语中可能经常出现的结构congratulations

31、 on sth。 问题:7. By the end of this semester, we surely _a satisfactory solution to the problem.A.have foundB.will findC.will have foundD.are finding答案:C解析 本题考查将来完成时的用法。句中有by the end of this semester表示将来某一时间已完成某动作，所以应选用将来完成时，故选项C为正确答案。如：By the time you come back next weekwe will have finished the job(

32、下星期你回来时，我们就已经把工作做完了。) 避错指南 选项A为现在完成时，B为一般将来时，D用进行时态表示将来会发生的动作，用在此都不恰当。 问题:8. _ was to return to school.A.That really interested himB.What really interested himC.Which really interested himD.That interested him really答案:B解析 本题考查what引导的主语从句。主语从句一般由that来引导，但是that后的从句在语法上需是一个完整的句子。如：That he Was responsi

33、ble for the accident is not at all surprising(他须为该意外负责，这一点都不让人惊讶。)如主句从句中缺少的是主语、表语或宾语时，可以用what来引导，故选项B为正确答案。 避错指南 选项A和D的错误是that后都不是完整的句子，故可排除；选项C(which)一般不用于引导主语从句，在此不符合题意，也可排除。 问题:9. There is nothing to do but _ the experiment.A.to repeatB.repeatingC.repeatsD.repeat答案:D解析 本题考查不带to的不定式。在but前如果出现了to d

34、o，则but后的不定式不需要加to。但如果没有出现to do，则but后接带to的不定式。如：I have no choice but to wait till the rain stops(我没有任何选择，只好等到雨停下来。) 避错指南 其他三个选项均不符合nothing to do but do这种用法，故可排除。 问题:10. Poor _ he is, he remains honest and kind.A.asB.howeverC.becauseD.although答案:A解析 本题考查由as引导的让步状语从句。其一般句型是“形容词/名词词组+as+主语+谓语”。如：Child a

35、s he is，he knows much about software programming(尽管年纪小小，他对软件编程却知道很多。)因此，选项A为正确答案。 避错指南 选项B、C和D引导从句时，一般用在句首。如：However hard I tried，I didnt gain minch in computer studies(尽管很努力，但我并没有在电脑学习上有所建树。) Section BDirections: There are also 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the p

36、roper form of the word given in brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.问题:1. The secretary worked late into the night, (prepare) _ a long speech for the president.答案:preparing解析 本题考查现在分词作伴随状语的用法。当分句的动作和主句的主语之间是主动关系时，需要使用现在分词。因为the secretary 是动作plepare的发出者，所以

37、应该使用动词prepare的现在分词形式preparing。 触类旁通 prepare的名词形式是preparation，由其构成的固定短语是make preparations for(为做准备)。 问题:2. Its clear that (create) _thinking, an object of our education system, affects the future development of the country.答案:creative解析 本题考查词性转换。根据题中出现的两个隔开句子的逗号，可知an object of是thinking的同位语，而同位语一般是对名词

38、词组作补充说明。所以，空格处应填入形容词creative，作定语修饰名词thinking。 触类旁通 某些动词转换为形容词时，需要加上后缀-ive。如：attractattractive(有吸引力的)，instructinstructive(有益的，有教育性的)等。 问题:3. It is important that we (get) _ more people to attend the conference.答案:(should) get解析 本题考查的是虚拟语气的一种用法，即“It is+adj”后面所跟的从句要用虚拟语气，其结构为“(should)+动词原形”。因此，空白处需要填入(

39、should)get。 触类旁通 类似的形容词还有necessary(有必要的)，advisable(可取的，明智的)，其后接that从句时要用虚拟语气。如：It is necessary that the government raise the tax(政府增加税收是有必要的。) 问题:4. Its a waste of time (discuss) _ problems with a man like him.答案:discussing解析 本题考查的是固定结构it is a waste of time doing sth，真正的主语是动名词词组doing sth。本题可以理解为：Dis

40、cussing problems with a man like him is a waste of time 触类旁通 It is a waste of time doing sth相当于It is not worth doing sth。 问题:5. Since its (invent) _, the telephone has become one of the most important telecommunication instruments in the world.答案:invention解析 本题考查词性变换。介词since后需接名词，构成介宾结构。同时，根据形容词性物主代

41、词its也可知需要填入动词invent的名词形式invention。 触类旁通 某些动词转换为名词时，需加上后缀-tion。如：operateoperation。此外，考生需要注意invent(发明)和discover(发现)的区别。invent是指创造前所未有的事物，而discover指初次看见本来已存在但以前未被发现的事物。如：Edison invented the electric light bulb(爱迪生发明了电灯泡。)Columbus discovered America but he did not explore the new continent(哥伦布发现了美洲，可是他没

42、有去探索这个新大陆。) 问题:6. He survived the plane crash, only (die) _ in the desert later.答案:to die解析 本题考查固定结构only to do的用法。这一固定用法意为“不料竟会，没想到会”。 触类旁通 因为本题考查的是动词的非谓语形式，而且only前出现了逗号将主句和分句隔开，所以考生往往误填入现在分词作伴随状语。但实际上，两者的动作不是同时发生，不是表示伴随状态。 问题:7. If there were no exams, we should have a much (happy) _time at school.

43、答案:happier解析 本题考查的是形容词的比较级用法。程度副词much一般修饰形容词比较级，在本句中much happier作定语，修饰名词time。 触类旁通 考生需要注意程度剐词nlueh常和形容词比较级连用；而程度副词quite一般和形容词的原级连用。 问题:8. Wherever the Browns went during their visit, they (give) _ a warm welcome.答案:Were given解析 本题考查一般过去时和被动语态的用法。由went可知从句使用的是一般过去时，故主句应相应使用一般过去时。此外they是动作give a warm

44、welcome的承受者，而不是发出者，故须使用被动语态。因此，本题要用一般过去时的被动语态were given。 触类旁通 give在英语中属于高频动词，可构成许多常见的动词短语。如：give up(放弃)，give in(屈服)等都在考试中经常出现。 问题:9. Weather (permit) _, the sports meeting will be held next Saturday morning.答案:permitting解析 本题考查独立主格的用法。独立主格实质上就是带有自己主语的非限定分句和无动词分句。独立主格weather permitting表示条件，相当于if weat

45、her permits。 触类旁通 独立主格分句的主语和主句的主语不一致，如：Judging by his accent，he cannot be a native(从他的口音来看，他绝对不是本地人。) 问题:10. (short) _ after buying IBMs PC business, Lenovo began to occupy a larger market share in the Asia Pacific region.答案:Shortly解析 本题考查副词的用法。shortly是时间副词，一般和after连用，表示“不久后”。因此，本题空格处需要填入形容词short的副词

46、形式shortly。 触类旁通 有类似用法的是副词immediately，如：The baby was given up for adoption immediately after birth(那个婴儿刚出生就被人家领养了。) Part Reading ComprehensionDirections: This part is to test your rending ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should rend the reading materials carefully and do the tasks a

47、s you are instructed.Task 1 For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. We can do without railways people say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that theyre dying. But this is far from

48、 the truth. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, theyre cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a strange line and so does a railway. Wha

49、t is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesnt leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesnt hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do. Far from b

50、eing dead, the railways are very much alive. Modem railway lines give you a month, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of

51、super-fast trains, traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we cant use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we cant fly in for the same reason. 1. Some people think the railways are dead for many reasons except that _

52、.A.planes and motorcars have taken the place of trainsB.oil is expensive todayC.trains are slowD.railways lose money答案:B细节推理题。本题询问人们认为以下哪个原因并没有导致铁路的萧条。本题答案可以从文章首段中得到。实际上，选项B(油价现在很高)是铁路更具有优势的一个重要原因。因此，选项B为正确答案。 避错指南 选项A(飞机和汽车已经代替了火车)、C(火车很慢)和D(火车亏损严重)都是某些人认为火车最终被淘汰的依据。 2. The writers idea seems to be

53、 that _.A.we can do without railwaysB.trains have much in common with motorcars and planesC.motorcars and planes are not as good as trainsD.trains are as good as motorcars and planes答案:C细节推理题。题目询问作者对火车的看法。本题答案可以从文章首段和第二段得出。根据首段中的短语highly competitive with(比更有竞争力)，也可以推知选项C(汽车和飞机不如火车)为正确答案。 避错指南 选项A(我们

54、可以没有铁路)只是某些人的主观臆测；选项B(火车与飞机和汽车有很多相同点)与文章第二段中的陈述相悖，因为文中说“火车和飞机有很大的相同之处”；选项D(火车与飞机和汽车一样)与作者观点不一致，因为作者一直谈及火车的优势，并且提到了飞机或汽车的劣势。因此，这三项都为错误答案。 3. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT true?A.It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.B.The railway station is usually at the center of a

55、 city.C.When you get off the plane you will find yourself right in the city center.D.No motorcar or plane can carry as many goods as a train does.答案:C细节推理题。题目询问根据作者的观点，下面哪项不正确。本题答案可以从文章第二段推断出。根据句子“It doesnt leave you as a plane does，miles and miles from the city center”，可以得出选项C(下飞机之后你会发现你正在市中心。)与作者说

56、法相悖，故为正确答案。 避错指南 根据文章首段，选项A(乘火车比乘飞机要便宜。)的陈述正确；根据文章第二段，选项B(火车站基本上是在城市的中心。)和D(没有任何汽车或飞机能比火车承载的多。)的陈述是正确的，因此此三项应该排除。 4. According to the author, the disadvantage of cars and planes will be that _.A.they can not travel fast enoughB.too much money will be spent on oilC.they cannot give a smooth, untroubled journeyD.the travelers c
