PartIUseofEnglish(20points)

3.本题的问句是在询问对方是不是罗伯特•李先生，如果回答是肯定的，最佳的选择

4.本题的提问者在礼貌地用“Excuseme,sir”询问布朗博士的办公室在哪里，因此

向提问者提及什么地方可得到帮助，所以最佳的选择是D。

5本题的提问者在赞扬玛丽的连衣裙很漂亮，同时也询问约翰的情况，对赞扬的典型

回答是thankyou,同时还需要提供有关约翰的信息，因此选择C。

6从本句的问句和回答看，该句是出现在服务场所，说话人在询问对方想买什么，因

此选择A。

7本题的第一说话人想请对方去喝咖啡。如果不接受邀请，礼貌的方式是要表示歉意

PartIIReadingComprehension(40points)

Passage1

11答案Co细节推理题。见原文第一段中第二句话"Wedon'tknowifeitherstory

istrue”，意思是我们不知道这两个故事是否真实，因此选项C“作者不能确认故事

是否真实”是正确选项。

12答案Do细节题。见原文第二段第二句"hehaddifficultyreadingandwriting”,

意思是“他在阅读和写作方面都有困难”，第二段最后一句aTheproblemwasthathe

didn'tknowhowtospell",意思是“问题是他不会拼写“，只有选项D“他拙于阅

读、写作和拼写”与原文相符，选项C“他让他的助手替他签署文件”与原文所说“他

让助手把文件读给他听”不符。

13答案Co细节推理题。原文提到了“0K”的两个用处，第一个起源于President

Jackson,他批准某一文件的时候，会签上“OLkorekt",即"ALLCORRECT”（全对）

的错误拼写，后来又将之缩略为“0K”。故选项C“0K由PresidentJackson首用”

符合原文。

14答案D。细节题。原文最后一段中说“VanBuren'sfriendsorganizedaclub

tohelphimbecomePresident••,anyonewhosupportedVanBurenwascalled

‘OK'"，意思是VanBuren的支持者们组织了OldKinderhook俱乐部来支持他竞

选，所以他的支持者们都被称为“OK”。故只有选项D符合原文。

15答案B。判断推理题。原文最后一段中说“VanBuren'sfriendsorganizedaclub

tohelphimbecomePresident•••anyonewhosupportedVanBurenwascalled

‘OK'"，意思是VanBuren的支持者们组织了OldKinderhook俱乐部来支持他竞

选，所以他的支持者们都被称为“OK”。可见“OK”一开始专指那次总统竞选中VanBuren

的支持者，仅适用于那次总统选举，故正确答案是B。

Passage2

16答案C。细节推理题。见原文第二句话"Lessthanatenthofthepeopleare

engagedin

agricultureandforestry"，少于十分之一的美国人从事农业和林业，所以如

果美国人口是2.5亿，那么农业和林业的从业人员为其十分之一不到，即少于2500

万，所以选项C是正确答案。

17.答案Co细节判断题。见原文第四句话"halfthepopulationnowlivesinsome

thirtymetropolitanareas-alargerproportionthaninGermanyof

England,letaloneFrance”，美国一半人口都住在大约30个大都市里，这个

比例大过德国和英国，更不用提法国了，可见法国的城市人口比例在四个国家里

是最小的，因此正确答案是C。

18.答案A。词语释义题。

19.答案Bo细节判断题。见原文倒数第三句话"everysmalltownmaystillbevery

likeothersmalltowns"，第一个小城都与其他的小城很相似，故选项B符合原

文。

20.答案C。

Passage3

21.答案D。综合判断题。见原文第三段第一句话"evenifthepeoplecannotwrite,

theymayknowsomethingofthepast”，即使没有文字记录,人们也可以了解

过去的历史，即通过口头传授，很明显选项D是与原文这个观点不一致的，故D

是应选答案。

22.答案D。细节题。见原文第二段最后一句话"weknowalmostnothingaboutthe

peoplewholivedeven200yearsagoincentralAfrica,becausetheyhad

notlearnedtowrite”,对于中非200年的历史我们几乎一无所知，那是因为

中非地区的人不会书写，所以D是正确答案。

23.答案Do词义理解题。可以根据上下文判断词义。原文第三段提到，人们从老一

辈人那儿听说，再以歌唱、舞蹈和故事的形式流传下去，这就称为“remembered

history”。所以选项D是止确答案。

24.答案Bo细节题。见原文最后一句话uwheretherearenowrittenrecords,such

spokenstoriesareoftenveryhelpful但没有文字记录的时候，这些口头流传

的故事就很有帮助，故选项B符合原文。

25.答案A。综合推理题。根据全文大意，作者认为文字记录是我们了解历史最有价

值的资料，所以如果古人对每一件事都以文字记录下来，我们对历史将了解得更

多，所以选项A最接近文意。

26.C27.D28.D29.D30.A

PartIIIVocabularyandStructure(25points)

31.答案Co此题的考点是busy的用法。因为busy的搭配是bebusy(in)doingsth。

所以答案为C。

32.答案Co此题的考点是情态动词must与havedone结构的搭配表示有把握的猜测。

所以答案为C。

33.答案C。此题的考点是wonder引导的宾语从句。其中what与本题的题意相符，

所以选C。

34.答案B。此题的考点是with+n.+done结构在句中做状语。因为表示的状态不是正

在进行所以不选A,答案为B。

35.答窠D。此题的考点是由if引导的条件状语从句
