It consists of 2 sections.Section A Directions: In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word

20、 or words from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.问题:1. No bread eaten by man is so sweet as _ earned by his own labor.A.thatC.suchB.oneD.what答案:A本题是一个同级比较句型的否定句，比较的对象是bread，空缺处应填一个能替代bread的代

21、词。One不能指代不可数名词；such作代词使用时，多指一个问题或一件事情，不指代一个名词；what双重代词，相当于the thing that，用在此处不合题意；B、C、D三项可排除；that既可指代单数可数名词，也可指代不可数名词，故A项为正确。问题:2. When _,ice will be changed into water, or even steam.A.heatedC.to heatB.heatingD.be heating答案:A主语ice与动词heat构成被动关系，即“冰被加热”。故分词需用过去分词，表示被动。句意：冰块加热时会变成水甚至蒸汽。问题:3. No one _

22、him about his intentions.A.dares askC.dare to askB.dare askD.dares asking答案:Bdare既可作情态动词，又可作实义动词。当作情态动词时，第三人称单数不加s，问句和否定句不用助动词do，后面接不带to的不定式；当作实义动词时，第三人称单数要加s，问句或否定句用助动词do，后接带to的不定式。所以，四个选项中，B项为正确。问题:4. All the people present at the conference are _ and they will discuss some teaching problems.A.mat

23、hematics teachersC.mathematic teachersB.mathematics teacherD.mathematics teachers答案:A表示科目的名词可以直接和另一名词连用，如句中表示“数学老师”，应用mathematics(数学)+teachers(老师)。故选A。没有mathematic这个词。句意：到会的全是数学老师，他们将讨论一些教学问题。问题:5. _ shes lawfully old enough to get married, I dont see how you can stop her.A.Seeing thatC.As forB.But

24、forD.As to答案:AA项seeing that可以当作连词使用，其意为“鉴于，因为”；B项but that在从句中出现时，主句须用虚拟语气形式来表达；C项as for，D项as to都是复合介词，不能接从句，B、C、D三项均可排除。问题:6. I apologize if I _ you, but I assure you it was not on purpose.A.offendC.had offendedB.should have offendedD.might have offended答案:B本题测试虚拟条件句。因题中句子为虚拟句，所以A项可首先排除。But分句中的时态暗示出

25、事情发生在过去，因此条件句应与过去相反，条件句中谓语用过去完成时，故B项为正确。问题:7. I _ come here by ship, but I didnt have enough time.A.would like toC.would ratherB.would rather toD.would like to have答案:D本题测试的是虚拟过去时与不定式完成式相结合的混合形式。I would like to have come here by ship是含蓄条件句，表达“我本来很想乘船来的”，与过去事实相反的假设。此句也可改为I would have liked to come he

26、re by ship，表达相同的意思。A项用于虚拟现在时，B项明显错误，C项表示“宁愿”，A、B、C三项均可排除。问题:8. Mr. Johnson preferred to _ heavier work to do, such as to wash the ears.A.be givenC.have givenB.be givingD.give答案:A根据句意可推知，约翰逊先生情愿别人给他重活，而不是他给别人重活。因为在give sb.sth.中不能缺少sb.或sth.，若用give则缺少sb.，故选A。B、C、D未用被动语态，故错。问题:9. No agreement was reache

27、d in the discussion as neither side would give way to _.A.anotherC.any otherB.othersD.the other答案:Dneither side表明在讨论中只有两方。故用the other，选D。others表示“别人，其他事物”，明显不符。another和any other表示多方中的另一方，不符句意。只有D符合。句意：讨论中双方未达成协议，因为双方都不愿让步。问题:10. _ no coffee left, they had to drink tea instead.A.It beingC.There being

28、B.It wasD.There was答案:C因为两句间没有连词，且后句主谓俱全，所以前句应该是从句。若选D则前句构成没有连词的完整句子，不符语法要求，故错，但用As there was是可以接受的。A和B不能表示“有”，故错。C为正确。用分词短语作原因状语。句意：因为没有咖啡了，所以他们只得喝茶。Section B Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. W

29、rite the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.问题:1. The (imagine) _ child always likes to make up fairy tales.答案:imaginative此处要表达的是“想像力丰富的孩子”这一意思。问题:2. To answer correctly is more important than (finish) _ quickly in the examinations.答案:to finish句中than后的结构应该与主语相同，因为它们是比较的内容，故

30、主语用不定式，空处也该用不定式。句意：回答得正确比回答得迅速更重要。问题:3. The brave soldier would as soon die as (yield) _ to such an enemy.答案:yieldWould as soon+无to不定式+as+无to不定式是一个固定的句型，其含义为“与其不如”，“宁愿而不”。问题:4. They would rather try and fail than (give) _ up the plan.答案:giveWould rather后连接两个对等结构，动词try用的是原形，所以give也用原形。问题:5. Leaders s

31、hould be the persons who are of great (wise) _ and much personal charm.答案:wisdom形容词yreat后应用名词，故用wise的名词形式wisdom。句意：领导应是有伟大智慧和个人魅力的人。问题:6. We never imagined that he (become) _ a doctor a few years later.答案:would become从主句的动词可知是过去时态，又由于宾语从句中的状语是a few years later(几年后)，故从句中要用过去将来时态。句意：我们永远也不会想到几年之后他会成为一

32、名医生。问题:7. Frankly speaking, Id rather you (make) _ no comment on the issue at the conference yesterday.答案:had madewould rather接虚拟语气从句有两种情况：would rather后的从句用过去时，表示对现在或将来的假设。would rather后的从句用过去完成时，表示与过去事实相反的愿望。该句从句中有yesterday，可见应属第二种情况，故填had made。句意：坦白说，我情愿你昨天在会上没有就这件事发表意见。问题:8. He has decided to devo

33、te (him) _ to helping blind people.答案:himself词组devote oneself to(doing)sth与be devoted to doing sth表示同一种意思，即“投身于”。故此处填himself。句意：他已决定投身于帮助盲人这一事业。问题:9. They are all opposed to(put) _ the meeting off.答案:puttingOpposed to后面的to为介词，因此put要用动词的ing形式，即putting。问题:10. Work in moderation is agreeable as well as

34、 (health) _ to human beings.答案:healthyas well as前后内容应一致，故空处词性应与agreeable一致，应为形容词，填healthy。句意：适度劳作令人愉快且有益健康。Part Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability.

36、swer Sheet with a single line through the centre. As civilization proceeds in the direction of technology, it passes the point of supplying all the basic necessities of life-food, homes, clothes, and warmth. Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and meet needs which hav

37、e been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of living. In other words, we either raise our standard of living above that necessary for comfort and happiness or we leave it at this l

38、evel and work shorter hours. I shall take it for granted that mankind has, by that time, chosen the latter alternative. Men will be working shorter and shorter hours in their paid employment. It follows that the housewife will also expect to be able to have more leisure in her life without lowering

39、her standard of living. It also follows that human domestic servants will have completely ceased to exist. Yet the great majority of the housewives will wish to be relieved completely form the routine operations of the home such as cleaning the floors, or washing the clothes, or making beds. By far

40、the most logical step to relieve the housewife of routine is to provide a robot slave which can be trained to the requirements of a particular home and can be programmed to carry out half a dozen or more standard operations, when so switched by the housewife. 1. In the first paragraph, the author st

41、ates that man prefers _.A.working longer hoursB.salary risingC.working shorter hoursD.salary decreasing答案:C在第一段，作者说人类喜爱怎样。从文章第一段中间部分可知，有两种选择：提高生活至必需水平之上；保持现在生活水平，缩短工作时间。人类会选择后者，所以选C。文章未提及工资待遇，所以B、D排除。2.

43、and will be better paid by the employers答案:C文章说家庭妇女如何。从文章第一段后部分可知，家庭妇女也希望能更悠闲地生活，同时不降低生活水平。所以选C。4. The words routine operations( Para. 1, Line 10)in this passage refer to _.A.daily necessitiesC.medical operationsB.domestic servantsD.daily housework答案:D第一段中的routine operations指的是什么。从第一段最后一句的例子可知，给打扫地板

44、、洗衣服或整理床铺是日常家务，所以D符合题意，为正确。5. The main purpose of the second paragragh is to _.A.describe the steps to train a robotB.advertise a new type of robotC.instruct housewives how to operate a robotD.suggest making use of a robot in the house答案:D第二段的主题是什么。第二段说，使家庭妇女从家务中解脱出来的方法是使用机器人奴隶，并可以设定特定程序来操纵它。可见D符合题意

Some people think that the time to begin studying a foreign language is in childhood, and that the younger you are, the easier it is to learn another language. There is littl

46、e evidence, however, that children in language classrooms learn foreign languages any better than adults (people over age 15 ) in similar classroom situations. In fact, adults have many advantages over children: better memories, more efficient ways of organizing information, longer attention spans,

47、better study habits, and greater ability to handle complex mental tasks. Adults are often better motivated than children: they see learning a foreign language as necessary for education or career. In addition, adults are particularly sensitive to correctness of grammar and appropriateness of vocabul

48、ary, two factors that receive much attention in most language classrooms. Age does have some disadvantages, however. For instance, adults usually want to learn a foreign language in a hurry, unlike children, who can devote more time to language mastery. Also, adults have complex communication. Adult

49、s need to be able to argue, persuade, express concern, object, explain, and present information about complex matters than are concerning their work or education. Because most adults do not like to appear foolish, they often deny themselves opportunities to practice for fear of making mistakes, not

50、getting their message across, or appearing ridiculously (可笑的) incompetent. Also adults have more trouble than children in making new friends who speak the foreign language. So the best time to learn a foreign language is when your need is clearest and you have sufficient time. If you are strongly mo

51、tivated to study a foreign language and if you have enough time to do it, the best time to begin is now. 1. That children can learn foreign languages better than adults is _.A.obviousC.well knownB.not provedD.correct答案:B文章第一段第二句指出，几乎没有证据表明儿童在课堂上学外语比成人学外语要棒。故选B。A、C、D明显不符。2. Adults have many advantage

52、s over children in learning a foreign language except _.A.being better motivatedB.better study habitsC.more time to learn the languageD.organizing information more efficiently答案:C第一段论述了成人学外语的优势，A、B、D都有提及，而C是在第二段有提及。但第二段论述的是儿童学外语的优势，故选C。3. Adults practise English less than children because _.A.they f

53、ear to make mistakesC.they have to do their workB.they have little timeD.they do not have foreign friends答案:A第二段后部分有一句话说They often deny themselves opportunities to practise for fear of making mistakes，可见，成人缺少练习是因为他们害怕犯错。选A。4. Two factors that influence the language studying are _.A.time and ageC.tal

54、ent and ageB.ability and sexD.time and motivation答案:D文章最后一段最后一句点明，只要你有十足的动力和充分的时间，学习外语的最佳时间是现在。故动力和时间是学习外语的影响因素。选D。5. The purpose of this passage is _.A.to show the best time for foreign language learningB.to describe adults and childrenC.to prove childrens advantagesD.to advice peoples learning for

55、eign language答案:A本文比较了成人和儿童的优劣势后，得出结论说，只要有时间和动力，学习外语的最佳时间是现在，故作者旨在说明学习外语的最佳时间，选A。Task 3 Directions: The following is a persons story.
