#泰坦尼克号撞到了一个巨大的冰山，沉到了海底。表示“撞到”可以用的动词或词组有crashedinto、hit或struckowaist短文最后一段第一句提到“Thewaterhadreachedmywaistwhen...”，所以当时的水位已经升到了他的腰部。drown短文倒数第二段最后一句话提到“IthoughtIwasgoingtodrown”，所以他当时觉得自己快要被淹死了，故填人drown。Translation（翻译）（A）丹尼斯•狄托，这位来自纽约的60岁的亿万富翁正坐在俄罗斯的太空船上。他正在去往国际空间站的路上。（multi-millionaire亿万富翁。spaceship太空船。beonajourneyto在去往 的路上。theInternationalSpaceStation国际空间站。）飞船离开地球大气层的时候，狄托喝了一杯果汁以示庆祝；向下张望他看到了蔚蓝色的地球表面。（as在此作连词，引导时间状语从句，含义是“当 的时候”。theearth’satmosphere地球大气层。lookdownat向下看 。blue-green蓝绿色o）还有别的计划，比如从世界的这一端飞到另一端的空中旅行。或许我们将来能够早上九点从纽约出发，一小时后到达东京。（like此处为介词用法，翻译成“像 ”。cruisesthroughspace空中旅行。departfrom从 出发。）（B）ItwasnotuntilshegottotheschoolthatJanerealized（that）shehadlostherkeys.（强调句型的构成为Itis（was）+被强调部分+that（Who）+句子的其他成分。“直到……才……”可用表达为“notuntil”。“丢钥匙”这一动作发生在“意识到”之前，所以要用过去完成时hadlostthekeys。）Thenewcollegewasnamedinhonorofthefirstmayorofthecity.（纪念inhonorof。被命名benamed。）ErrorCorrection（短文改错）calling^called这个地方被称作Coromandel,所以call要使用其过去分词形式，表被动。been被动语态的构成是“主语+be+过去分词”，该句中主语为I，系动词为was,过去分词为taken,所以应删掉been。but->and该句前后之间语义为顺承关系，并不存在转折关系，所以连词but改为and。like->asthinkof...as“把……看作”，为固定搭配。has->hadCoromandel当时是一个繁忙的采金旧城。但这是在“我们家”到来之前。所以发生在arrived这一动作之前，表示“过去的过去”要用过去完成时，因此使用助动词had。to动词pay的用法为paysb.sth.中间不需要介词，因此删掉介词to。piece^pieces该句讲到人们去看病有时会付给他金币，但并不是一块金币，所以要用复数形式pieces。some—*any一般情况下some在否定句和疑问句中要变为any。in—>atnotatall表示“一点也不”。where-^which逗号后面的句子为定语从句，修饰前面的thevillageschool,关系代词在句中代替先行词作主语，先行词为物，且为非限定性定语从句，故为which。VH.IQTest（智力测试）TAKETHEBULLBYTHEHORMS.（意思是“不畏艰险；明知山有虎，偏向虎山行”。）88观察数字可得出它们之间的规律是left2+right2+top=middle,所以42+72+23=88。Judith分析题干可知，Margaret,Susie和Denise位于前三名，其次是Judith，Beverly最慢，所以位于第四名的是Judith。15题干问的是“在下面的图中你能看到几个正方形”，通过观察可知共有15个。100.0观察图表发现，字母D在字母表中是第4位，W是倒数第4位，S是19位，H是倒数19位。按照此规律，L是第12位，而从后往前数，倒数第12位的是字母0。Vffl.Writing(写作)(A)DearSir/Madam,I’mwritinginresponsetoyouradvertisementintheBingleyTimesonMarch2nd.I’mverygladtoknowthatyouhaveDance-AerobicsclassesandIamveryinterestedinit.Iwonderifyoucouldgivemetheanswerofmyquestions.First,Iwanttoknowwhatequipmentisneededfortheclasses.DoIneedtobuyanyspecialshoesorclothes?ActuallyIdon’tknowanythingaboutthesportsequipment.Ifsomeequipmentisnecessary,couldyoupleasetellmewheretobuyit?Second,asIintendtoattendclassesregularly,Ialsowanttoknowthedetailsofthepricesandthefeesneeded.Thankyouforyourattention.Pleasereplyassoonaspossible.Yoursfaithfully,ElaineRichards(B)Inschooleducation,physicaleducationhasbeenoneofthesubjectsforsomanyyears.Ithinkthatitshouldbetaughtatschool，thereasonsareasfollows.Firstly,nowadayschildrendon’thavetoomuchtimeoropportunitytodosports,sophysicaleducationatschoolisnecessaryforthem,especiallythosechildrenlivingincrowdedcities.Bydoingsports,theycanhavemoreexercisewhichisgoodfortheirhealth.Secondly,inteamsportschildrencandeveloptheirsocialskills,becausetheyneedtoworkasateam.Teamspiritisespeciallyimportantfortheirfuturework.Theyneedtoleamhowtocooperatewithothers.Theycanmakemorefriendsandhavemorecommunicationwithothers.Inconclusion,asphysicalactivitiescanhelpchildrentokeephealthyandbefullofenergy,Ithinkthatitisimportanttohavephysicaleducationinschoolclasses.录音原文I.ResponsesPleaselistentothefollowingfivesentencesandchoosethebestresponsetoeachoneyouhear.Eachsentencewillbereadonlyonce.IheardyouwenttotheUSAlastyear.Wasityourfirstvisit?It’ssoldoutinalmosteverybookstore.Whydon’tyoureadmine?Oh,myGod,whereonearthdidIputmykeys?Ican’tfindthemnow.Youknowalotaboutthecity.Wouldyouliketocomewithus?Whatareyougoingtododuringthesummervacation?n.Dialogues(A)Pleaselistentothefollowingfivemini-dialogues.Eachdialogueisfollowedbyaquestion.Choosethebestanswertoeachquestionaccordingtothedialogueyouhear.Eachdialogueandquestionwillbereadtwice.W:Hi,Mike.DoyouwanttoplaytennisonSunday?M：I’mnotsureifIcan.Ishouldgotosoccerpracticewithmyteam.W：Oh,right.Well,I’mcyclingtotheswimmingpoolwithmybrother.Q：WhatwillMikeprobablydoonSunday?W:Lookatthepeopleinthatrowingboat.I’msurethey’reintrouble.Oneofthemkeepswavingandtheotheroneisjusthangingoverthesideoftheboat.M：You’reright.Comeon,let’sgoandhelpthem.Q：Howmanypeoplearethereintheboat?M：Ireallylovethischeese.W:Oh,doyou?Itismadebymymum.Well,I’llbegoingbacktoItalyforaweekinDecember,soI’llbringyousomemore!Q：Whomakesthecheese?M：Hello.Willyoupleasesendsomeoneuptomyapartment?Thehotwaterisrunning,andIcan’tturnitoff.W:There’snooneintheofficerightnow.I’llsendsomeoneupassoonasIcan.Q：Whydoesthemanwantsomeonetogotohisapartment?W:LastnightafterwatchingsportsTVprograms,Iwassittingatthetable,eatingsomething.Suddenly,someonefrombehindmecoveredmyeyeswithhishands.DoyouknowhowIfeltatthatmoment?M：Maybeitsurprisedyou.W:That’sright.Q：Howdidthegirlfeel?(B)Pleaselistentothefollowingdialogue.Thedialogueisfollowedbyfivequestions.Choosethebestanswertoeachquestionaccordingtothedialogueyouhear.Thedialogueandquestionswillbereadtwice.W:Ohhello.Nicetoseeyouagain.Didyouhaveagoodholiday?Iwasthinkingofringingyoutoaskyouaboutit.M：Yes,itwaslovely.Wehadtosetoffreallyearlybecausetheplanetookoffat6a.m.Butthenwewereonthebeachinthesunbylunchtime.W:Great!Andwhatdidyoudomostdays?M：Well,weusuallysleptin.Itwasverynicenothavingtogetupearly.Andthenwestayeduplateatnight,goingouttodiscosandnightclubs.Duringtheday,weusuallylayonthebeachorlookedroundthetown.W:Andwhataboutthefood?M：Well,wedidn’tusuallyhaveanybreakfast.Bythetimewegotdownstairsatthehoteltheyhadclearedawayallthebreakfastthings.Wetriedoutdifferentrestaurantsforlunchandmostofthemwereverygood.Thefishwasparticularlynice.Andweusuallystayedinfordinneratthehotel.W：Sowhatdidyoulikebest?M：Ilikedeverything—thebeaches,theweather,thefood,thenightlife,thepeople.I’dliketogobackagainnextyearsoI’msavingupforitalready.PeoplebookveryearlyforthatareasoImustfixitu
