Reading Comprehension Part A Directions: Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Passage 1 Increasingly, the development of tourism is seen to have an effect on the environment. Erosion is one problem. The steps and stones of major popular sites like Shakespeares birthplace or Stonehenge are literally being worn away by millions of foreign feet. The remedy in the case of Britain' s best known prehistoric monument has been to use railings to keep visitors at a distance. Such measures can hardly be adopted in the house of the Bard, however, where tourists want to enter the actual building. Overcrowding in cities, towns and villages is another problem. Traffic jams are an outcome. In narrow roads, tourist vehicles cause congestion. Local traders and residents cannot get around to do their work. Car parks fill up, so strangers park their cars where they can: in streets, across gate ways, in lay-bys, or even in private driveways. This causes obstruction. The sheer weights of incomers can be a hazard. Thus Venice, a city built for half a million inhabitants, is swollen by another half million who populate the city daily in the tourist season eight million visits each year. The mayor recently decided to limit visitors to 90,000 a day: the only way to save the city from inundation. Pollution is a further consequence. The' Lakes are popular for people who enjoy water-sports, such as water-skiing, power boat racing and swimming, but boats pump sewage directly into the water. Facilities can be provided to prevent this happening, but this is costly. There are also problems with litter. The threat to wildlife habitats is yet another result. Tourists around the Lakes destroy vegetation. This is harmful to animals which build their nests along the shores, Wildlife refuges have been created which have helped protect these natural sites. On the Greek island of Zakinthos, the breeding beaches of the rare loggerhead turtle are being threatened by tourist disturbance. Local conservationists try to monitor and protect the turtles but they have been attacked by the angry owners of taverns and hotels who make lucrative profits from bars or renting sunbeds and umbrellas. Government compensation payments for the loss of business might be the answer, but this would be costly. 41、Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the passage? A. The development of tourism has brought about environmental problems. B. Tourism should not develop at the cost of the environmental destruction. C. Measures taken to protect the environment prove to be ineffective. D. Tourism is developing for the sole purpose of making money. 42、As a result of over-development of tourism, Venice ______. A. is overcrowded with cars B. is overloaded C. is worn away D. is badly polluted 43、Paragraph 3 points out that the Lakes ______. A. have too many boats on them B. are overcrowded on the beaches C. are polluted by wastes D. are no longer attractive 44、On the island of Zakinthos, measures to protect the turtles meet resistance chiefly for ______. A. political reasons B. economic reasons C. environmental reasons D. developmental reasons 45、Overcrowding in cities, towns and villages is another problem caused by over-development of tourism, an outcome of which is ______. A. that strangers park their cars where they can B. that local traders and residents cannot get around to do their work C. that the sheer weights of incomers can be a hazard D. traffic jams Passage 2 The subject of my study is women who are initiating social change in a small region in Texas. The women are Mexican Americans who are, or were, migrant agricultural workers. There is more than one kind of innovation at work in the region, of course, but I have chosen to focus on three related patterns of family behavior. The pattern I life style represents how migrant farm workers of all nationalities lived in the past and how many continue to live. I treat this pattern as a baseline with which to compare the changes represented by pattern ? and ?. Families in pattern I work and travel in extended kin units, with the eldest male occupying the position of authority. Families are large and no children are unusual. And all members are economic contributors in this strategy of family migration. Families in pattern ? manifest some differences in behavior while still maintaining aspects of pattern I. They continue to migrate but on a reduced scale, often modifying their schedules of migration to allow children to finish the school year. Parents in this pattern often find temporary local jobs as checkers to make up for lost farming income. Pattern ? families usually have fewer children than do pattern I families. The greatest amount of change from pattern I, however, is in pattern III families, who no longer migrate at all. Both parents work full time in the area and have an average of three children. Children attend school for the entire year. In pattern ?, the women in particular create new roles for them selves for which no local models exist. They not only work full time but may, in addition, return to school. They also assume a greater responsibility in family decisions than do women in the other pat terns. Although these women are in the minority among residents of the region, they serve as role models for others, causing moderate changes to spread in their communities. Now opportunities have continued to be determined by pre-existing values. When federal jobs became available in the region, most involved working under the direction of female professionals such as teachers or nurses. Such positions were unaccepted to many men in the area because they were not accustomed to being subordinate to women. Women therefore took the jobs, at first, be cause the income was desperately needed. But some of the women decided to stay at their jobs, at first, after the family' s distress was over. These women enjoyed their work, its responsibility, and the companionship of fellow women workers. The steady, relatively high income allowed their families to stop migrating. And, as the benefits to these women became increasingly apparent, they and their families became even more willing to consider changes in their lives that they would not have considered before. 46、Which of the following titles best reflects the main focus of the passage? A. A Survey of Three Mexican American Families at Work in Texas. B. Innovative Career Women: Effects on Family Unity. C. Changes in the Life Styles of Migrant Mexican American Families. D. Farming of Family: The Unavoidable Choice for Migrant Farm Workers. 47、All of the following statements about pattern ? children express differences EXCEPT ______. A. they migrate for part of each year B. they spend less time contributing to family income C. they spend more months on school D. their parents sometimes work at jobs other than farming 48、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true of women in pattern III families? A. They earn a reliable and comparatively high income. B. They continue to work solely to meet the urgent needs of their family. C. They enjoy the fellowship involved in working with other women. D. They serve as models of behavior for others in the region. 49、The author' s attitude towards the three patterns of behavior mentioned in the passage is best described as one of ______. A. great admiration B. unbiased objectivity C. dissatisfaction D. indifference 50、From the passage we can find out that the author mainly studies ______. A. patterns of family behavior B. women who are initiating social change in a small region in Texas C. migrant agricultural workers D. how migrant farm workers lived in the past Passage 3 By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at al. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all. Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite it self, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures. All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder present any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intense ly. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close. The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person is, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will al so have better resistance against the poison. Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very iii, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness. 51、Adders are most likely to be found ______. A. in wilder parts of Britain and Ireland B. in Scotland and nowhere else C. on uncultivated land throughout out Britain D. in shady fields in England 52、If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder you should ______. A. try to catch the adder B. make no attempt to treat the bite C. not worry about the victim D. operate as soon as possible 53、We are told that adders are ______. A. normally friendly towards people B. unlikely to bite except in self-defense C. aggressive towards anyone in their territory D. not afraid of human beings 54、If a adder hears you approaching, it will usually ______. A. move out of your path B. take no notice of you at all C. disappear very quickly D. wait until you are close and then attack 55、We are told that in general British people think snakes are ______. A. not very common in Britain B. usually harmless C. more dangerous than they usually are D. unlikely to kill people by their bite Passage 4 Of all things in the world, I most dislike filling up forms. In fact, I have a positive horror of it. Applying for a driving licence, registering for an evening course, booking a holiday abroad--every thing nowadays seems to involve giving information about one' s personal life and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter in hand. When applying for a job, it may be of some obscure interest to a prospective employer to learn that I collect stamps or had measles as a child, but why should he want to know that my father was a tobacconist who lived in Fulham and died when he was 82? The authorities who require one to fill up forms frequently demand answers to questions that one would hesitate to put to one's intimate friends. The worst of it is that, when faced with such questions, my mind goes blank and I can hardly remember my own date of birth, let alone my nationality. Have I ever suffered from a serious illness? Have I7 What do they mean by ' serious' 7 I had my tonsils out in hospital when I was eight, and my mother always assured me I was ' delicate' , but father contended I was born lazy. Do I suffer from any personal defects? Well, I wear contact lenses and my upper teeth are not my own, but perhaps the word ' defects' applies to my character. Am I supposed to admit that I like gambling, and find it difficult to get up in the morning? Both of which are true. Of all, I think job applications are the worst. ' Education--previous experience--posts held-- give dates... ' Terrified by the awful warning about giving false declarations which appears at the bottom of the form, I struggle to remember what exams I passed and how long I worked for what firms. However hard I try, there always seems to be a year or two for which I cannot satisfactorily ac count and which I am certain, if left blank, will give the impression that I was in prison or engaged in some occupation too dubious to mention. Even when the form is safely posted, there is no relief as I hourly await and order from angry official to explain differences on my form. 56、In the opinion of the writer most forms require one to supply ______. A. irrelevant details B. positive answers C. secret information D. personal problems 57、When filling up forms, the writer frequently finds that he ______. A. can only remember his age and birthplace B. doesn't remember who he is C. has forgotten some essential facts D. is afraid to answer the questions 58、From the information he gives about himself, it seems that the writer ______. A. suffers from a physical deformity B. has had all his teeth removed C. has some trouble with his eyesight D. never gets up in the morning 59、When listing his previous experience the writer discovers there are some ______. A. periods left unaccounted for B. accounts he has left unsettled C. details he would rather conceal D. facts of which he' s ashamed 60、When the writer has finally posted his form, he ______. A. heaves a sigh of relief B. expects it to be ignored C. expects there will be unexpected effects D. awaits the arrival of an official Part B Directions: Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. 61. The most important day I remember in all my life is tile one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrast between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1987, three months before I was seven years old. 62. On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother' s signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch, and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered al most unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did no! know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me. Anger and bitter ness had preyed upon me continually for weeks and a deep languor had succeeded this passionate struggle. 63. Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen'? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbor was. "Light ! Give me light ! i' was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour. 64. I felt approaching footsteps. I stretched out my hand as I supposed to my mother. Someone took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to reveal all things to me, and, more than all things else, to love me. The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but l did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d -o -l -l". I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. 65. I did not know that I was a spelling a word or even that words existed. I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them, pin, hat, cup, and a few verbs like sit, stand and work. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has the name. 65、 Section ?

Listening Comprehension Part A 1、oily liquid [解析] 1-5 Petroleum is a very important mineral. It gives us heat and light. It also gives us power for our cars, planes, and ships. It gives us power for machines of all kinds. How was petroleum created? Scientists believe petroleum was formed from the remains of plants and animals. These plants and animals lived and died millions of years ago. Remains are what is left after a plant or animal has died. What exactly is petroleum? Petroleum is a mineral that is a mixture of hydrocarbons. It is an oily liquid which may be brown, green, or black in color. The word "petroleum" comes from Latin and Greek. It means "rock oil". Crude oil is petroleum that comes directly from deep in the ground. It is then taken to a refinery. A refinery is a kind of factory with equipment in it to refine oil. At a refinery the crude oil is purified and separated into its various parts. From the refined petroleum we obtain important products, such as gasoline, kerosene, fertilizers, detergents, plastics, drugs, and perfumes. These are just a few of the thousands of useful products we get from this valuable mineral - petroleum.2、Latin, Greek 3、crude oil 4、 purified and separated 5、fertilizers, plastics, drugs Part B 6、Because she was very fat and ever gaining weight.

He gave her a small book and said, "read this carefully and eat the things listed on page 11 every day. Then come back and see me in two weeks' time." Miss Green came again two weeks later, but she wash' t thinner; she was fatter. The doctor was surprised and said, "Are you eating the things listed on page 11 of the small book.'?" "Yes, doctor." she answered. The next day the doctor visited Miss Green during her dinner. She was very surprised to see him. "Miss Green," he said, "Why are you eating potatoes and bread? They are not in your diet." "But, doctor," Miss Green answered," I ate my diet at lunch time. This is my dinner."7、She should go on a diet. 8、Because she was even fatter. 9、To visit her during her dinner. 10、She ate her diet only at lunch time. Part C Questions 11-13 are based on the following passage. You now have 15 seconds to read the questions 11-13. D 11、 [解析] 理解题。本文第一句话就提到了Stephen A(Douglas是一位在1860年总统竞选中被 Abraham Lincoln大白的总统候选人。所以Lincoln成为总统的时间是1860年。但是选项中没有 给出具体的时间，这要求考生能够理解文章第四段中的句子 Soon after the election of Lincoln in 1860，the Civil War began(这句话意思是:林肯当选总统后不久就爆发了美 国内战。因此正确答案是D。 [听力] 11-13 Stephen A. Douglas was the name of the candidate defeated by Abraham Lincoln in the 1860 presidential race. Nicknamed the "Little Giant", Douglas was short in stature but had a large head and shoulders. It was only two years prior to the 1860 contest that Douglas defeated Lincoln in the Illinois senatorial race. During this campaign, the Lincoln-Douglas debates were popular throughout the whole country. One reason Douglas was defeated in his bid for the presidential was the stand he took on the question of slavery. Southern Democrats, angry over his position, voted almost solidly for Lincoln. Soon after the election of Lincoln in 1860, the Civil War began. Although Douglas had offered his services to the new president, he died from typhoid fever shortly after the beginning of the War. C 12、 [解析] 理解题。文章第二句话提到Nicknamed the“Little Giant”，Douglas was short in stature bur had a large head and shoulders(意思是:Douglas个子小，但是头和肩 膀却很大，所以人送外号“小巨人”。所以答案C正确。 13、D [解析] 题。本题考查的是考生对通篇文章的细节的分析和判断。答案A与文章第二段中the Lincoln-Douglas debates were popular throughout the whole country意思不符合， 显然错误。答案B认为the Lincoln-Douglas debates是在总统大选时才发生的，也不正确。因 为文章第二段提到It was only two years prior to the 1860 contest that Douglas defeated Lincoln in the Illinois senatorial race(即Lincoln-Douglas debates 是早在总统大选两年前就开始了。答案C明显错误，Southern Democrats是angry over his( Douglas’)position，而不是angry over the debate。答案D表示the Lincoln-Douglas de bates过程中有精彩场面，与文章中的popular相吻合，总统竞选的精彩和激烈也是可想而知的。 Questions 14-16 are based on the following passage.

Use of English 21、A [解析] 根据下一个句子分析便可知是心脏病，故应选A。heart attack是心脏病的固定说法。 22、B [解析] 根据普通常识应该知道此处要表达的意思是“电击”，而且在文章的后半部分也出现了 electric shock的表达方式，所以选B。在做完形填空时，有些字词一时不能确定选项，可以继续 看下文，有时会像此题一样读到相关暗示，另外读懂全文的意思也有助于判断个别句子的空格。 D 23、 [解析] destroy一般指“事物外形的毁坏”。B和C两个选项是指“整体或组织到了支离破碎的程度”。 根据上文的remarkable success，but(((可以推断出不可能是B或C。 24、C [解析] 通过前文可以知道出现了大脑损伤，以及妻子的death，还有句子did not want to go through himself可以推断出当时Mr(Winter的感受一定是痛苦的，所以答案自然是painful。 25、C [解析] 这一段的最后两个句子应对照起来考虑，从After she died(。(to save him((( but instead to let him die这句，便可以推断出此处应该用否定形式。只有A和C两个选项是否定 形式，然而A选项在语法上不成立，所以正确答案应该为C。 26、A [解析] 因为Mr. Winter是在用他妻子的病来打个比方，所以正确答案选A。 27、B [解析] 既然Mr(Winter要求医生不要去抢救他，所以应该是让他自然地死去(die naturally)， 所以选B。 28、B [解析] 从句子(((heart attack which he so treated，and was rushed to St Francis hospital in Cincinnati可以推断出Mr. Winter一定是病了。经受某种病痛之苦，一般用suffer 与疾病搭配，因此答案选B。 29、C [解析] 从上下文理解，Mr. Winter进了医院，肯定有医生接纳病人，所以答案为C。 30、D [解析] 联系上文...not to save him和to let him die naturally，便可以判断答案是D revive，意思是“复活，苏醒”。此处应理解为被抢救过来。 31、D [解析] 因为是Mr(Winter事先请求他的医生如果他发生和妻子类似的病情，不要抢救他，所以答案应该是wishes。这里是说护士并不知道医生尊重Mr(Winter的意愿不去抢救他。 32、A [解析1 emergency表示“紧急抢救、急诊”等，这属于固定搭配，所以答案自然为A。 33、B [解析] 空格前后是两句话，中间需要一个连词。两个句子的意思相反，所以要用一个转折连词，因此答案选B。 34、C [解析] 从过去发生并且一直持续到现在的事情，一般用现在完成时来表达，另外句中的since then也是现在完成时的时间标志，所以答案为C。 35、A [解析] 从意思上可以推测出答案。大脑经过电击后，由于神经受损一般可以导致瘫痪(paralyzed)。B项authenticate意思是“证明(声明、账目等)为真”;C项intoxicated表示“喝醉的，兴奋的”;D项deliberate的意思是“深思熟虑的，从容不迫的，故意的”等等。所以答案为A。 36、A [解析] 句子由though来引导，表示“让步”，意思是“尽管，虽然”，而且后半句是肯定句，所以此句可能是否定句。另外通过常识判断，脑损伤是极不容易治好的，所以答案应该是A。 37、B [解析] 经过一场灾难以后能活下来，用survive表示“幸存”，所以答案为B。 38、D [解析] 后面的arguing一词表示“医院与Mr(Winter持相反的观点”，所以不可能是答案B或C。对此事而言，也不是喜欢与不喜欢的问题，所以A也不合适。而D项 dispute的意思是“对……持异议，争论、争执的”，用在此处合情合理。 39、D [解析] 联系上下文可以推断出，这句话是医院方面在试图辩解造成Mr. Winter脑损伤这一后果另有原因，此外文章接近尾声，是在一件事情发生后对此事的分析说明，因此答案为D项consequence，意思是“结果、后果”。 40、B [解析] 四个答案都可以与money搭配使用。但是这里明显是医院方面对此事推卸责任，就不可能捐献给Mr(Winter钱(donate)，或者省下钱(spare)，也不可能借给他钱 (lend)，自然是要向他收取医疗费用，因此答案自然为charge，表示“收取费用”。 Section ? Reading Comprehension Part A Passage 1 41、A [解析] 文章的主旨陈述在第一句:旅游业的发展给环境带来(不良)影响。下列几段分别从几个地方遭受不同形式的危害来说明这一主旨。B不正确。在列举的几方面危害中，有的与生态的平衡(ecological balance)无关，如威尼斯(Venice)的下沉(inundation)、莎士比亚故居的石阶被踏平等。C不正确。作者的确提到了许多保护代价太高(costly)，但有的却不是这样，如第一段提到了装栏杆(railing)的措施，这一措施的问题不在于它昂贵，而在于它的不可行性，因为旅游者必须进到里面去参观，否则便没有意义了。 42、B [解析] 根据第二段后半部分的陈述，威尼斯原设计只能承受50万居民，但在旅游季节，来该城观光的每年达800万人次。该市最近每天来访人数不得超出9万人，这是惟一可以避免该城下沉的措施。这一事例说明，涌入人员的总重量本身也可能带来危害(第二段第七句)。 43、C [解析] 第三段谈的是污染问题。在五大湖(the Lakes)，由于水上运动的盛行，船将污水(sewage)直接排进湖水中，人们将垃圾随处乱扔。结果，废物造成了湖水的污染。 44、B [解析] 文章最后一段指出，在希腊的扎金索斯(Zakinthos)岛上，当地的环保者为了保护一种稀有的龟而受到了当时饮食业主的反对，因为相应的措施危害了他们的经济利益，影响了他们赚钱。政府可以解决一些问题，但代价太高。 D 45、 [解析] 此题考查的是对文章第二自然段主题句“Overcrowding in cities，towns and villages is another problem(Traffic jams are an outcome(”的理解，很明显答案是D。 Passage 2 46、C [解析] 文章大意为:迁移的墨西哥族美国人家庭生活方式的变化。在第一段作者指出，她研究的对象是正在给美国得克萨斯州内一个小区域的社会生活带来变化的妇女。这些妇女是墨西哥族美国人，属于农业季节工人(migrant agricultural workers)。当然，这一地区的变化不止一种，但是，作者重点研究的是三种相关的家庭行为模式。 47、A [解析] 第二段对比了第一种模式和第二种模式的异同。第二种模式的人仍然过着迁移的生活，但迁移时间缩短(on reduced scale)，原因经常是让孩子读完一学期的书。可见，这两种生活方式的人还是过着迁移的生活，只是程度有所差别。 48、B [解析] 从第三段对第三类妇女的描述来看，她们的生活已经不再是仅仅围绕着满足生活基本需要。她们不再过迁移的生活，而是有固定的工作，孩子们全年上学，她们也积极开辟生活和就业机会(create new roles for themselves for which no local models exist)，加强学业自修，等等。 49、B [解析] 本文客观地描述了一个社会调查，并没有对哪种生活模式有褒贬。 50、B [解析] 此题考查的是对文章第一自然段的中心句“The subject of my study is women who are initiating social change in a small region in Texas(”的理解。既然作者的研究主题是women who are initiating social change in a small region in Texas，答案自然选B。 Passage 3 51、C [解析] 文章第一段指出It can be found almost any where，but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country，including high ground。意思是:蝮蛇几乎随处可见，尤其是在阳光充足的山边或者包括高地在内的荒野的乡村更容易生存。因此我们可以推断出答案应该是C项。因为上述的这些环境都可以用uncultivated land来解释，即未经耕耘的土地。 52、B [解析l 文章第二段指出:(((but not all bites are serious，and very few are fatal(Some times attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself， with amateurs heroically，but mistakenly，trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures(意思是:并不是所有被蛇咬伤的人都会有生命危险，只有少数蛇伤是能致命的。有些本身并不严重，反倒是那些尝试着去应急的做法会导致危险，这种危险甚至可能比蛇伤本身的危害还要大得多。因为往往那些试图去处理蛇伤的人都是amateurs，即外行，他们错误地去做一些外伤处理或采取其他不必要的措施。所以一旦有人被蛇咬 伤，最好不要去尝试着擅自处理蛇伤，故选B。 53、B [解析] 文章第三段指出British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them(The adder will attack only if it feels threatened，as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally，or if you try to catch it or pick it up，which it dislikes intensely(意 思是:英国的蛇是比较害羞的动物，它们对人类的恐惧远远超过人类对它们的恐惧。蝮蛇只有当自身 安全受到人类威胁或侵犯时才会攻击人类，比如说突然被踩到或者被抓到的时候。 54、A [解析] 文章第三段末尾指出:If it hears you coming，it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can，but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close(意思是:当蝮蛇听到人类走近它的时候，它会很快 地让开路，但是由于它们不能爬得特别快，所以万一它觉得自己离对方很近的时候就会在爬走之前先 发起进攻。所以答案选A，move out of your path意思相当于get out of the way。 55、D [解析] 此题考查考生对文章最后一个自然段的理解。文章末尾指出:在英国，实际上很少有人因为 被蛇咬伤而丧命，尽管有些人会因被蛇咬伤而患上严重的病。 Passage 4 56、A [解析] 文章第一段指出:everything nowadays seems to involve giving information about one’s personal life and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter in hand(意思是:似乎每一件事情都会涉及与其关系不大甚至是没有任何关系的个 人信息，这些信息都应该属于不相关的细节问题，也就是irrelevant details，所以答案选A。 57、C [解析] 文章第二段指出:The authorities who require one to fill up forms frequently demand answers to questions that one would hesitate to put to one's intimate friends(The worst of it is that，when faced with such questions，my mind goes blank and l can hardly remember my own date of birth，let alone my nationality.意思是:在填写表格时常常要求填表人填写本人甚至不愿意让亲密的朋友知道的私人问题，更糟糕的 是，填表格时遇到这样的问题往往是大脑一片空白，甚至都会忘记自己的出生日期，更不用说自己的 国籍了。这正好符合C选项所陈述的:忘记了一些基本事实。因此正确答案应该是C。 58、C [解析] 此题考查的是学生对文章细节的了解。文章第二段的后半部分主要表达了作者对表格中 一些询问健康状况的问题的感触。文章指出作者戴隐形眼镜，即 wear contact lenses，这就说 明他视力不是很好;紧接着说my upper teeth are not my own，说明他只有removed his upper teeth而不是remove all his teeth，所以B选项不正确;这一段文字的最后部分说他find it difficult to get up in the morning而不是never gets up in the morning，更没 有身体缺陷(physical deformity)，所以答案A和D也都不正确。做这样类型的题，考生一定要 仔细阅读文章，注意发现问题，以便正确地分辨答案。 59、A [解析] 文章最后指出:However hard I try，there always seems to be a year or two for which I cannot satisfactorily account and which I am certain，if left blank， will give the impression that I was in prison or engaged in some occupation too dubious to mention(大意是:无论作者怎么努力，在填写表格中的先前经历一栏时，往 往会出现某一时期是他无法做出令人满意的解释的，但是他清楚如果某一时期的工作经历没有具体注 明，则可能被怀疑那段时间是在坐牢或者是在从事某种不为人知的活动。account是动词，此处做“解 释”讲。所以正确答案应该是A。 60、C [解析] 文章最后一句:Even when the form is safely posted，there is no relief as I hour ly await and order from angry official to explain differences on my form(意思是:即使是作者填完表格后将其安全寄出，他也不会有如释重负的感觉，时刻准备着收 到表格的对方会来质问他关于表格上的一些出入，并让他予以解释。而这些情况对于作者来讲都是可 能发生的、预料不到的后果，即unexpected effects，所以答案应该是C。通篇文章都体现了文 章开篇的那句话:of all things in the world，I most dislike filling up forms; In fact，I have a positive horror of it( Part B 61、在我的记忆中，我一生最重要的日子是我的老师安尼?曼斯菲尔德?沙利文走进我生活的那一天。 至今，每当我想起这一天仍然会惊叹不已，正是这一天把 (我过的)两种生活连在一起。 62、 在这样一个重要的午后，我呆呆地坐在我家的门廊上，内心充满了期盼。从我母亲给我的手势和屋子 里众人的忙碌中我隐约猜到将有什么不同寻常的事情发生，我便来到门口，在台阶上等着。 63、你可曾在航海时遇到有浓雾的时候吗?你仿佛被困在了触手可及的一片白茫茫中，不见天日。你 乘坐的巨轮，靠测深锤或测深线的指引，举步维艰地靠向海岸，既紧张又焦急不安;而你则心怦怦跳， 等着有事要发生。我在接受教育之前宛如那没有指南针，没有测深锤的船，无从知道距离港口还有多 远。 64、我感觉到脚步由远及近。于是我伸出了手，我以为会是母亲。但是有人抓住了我的 手，把我拽住并紧紧地抱在了怀里。正是这个人的到来，把整个世界展示给我，并且最重要的是给我 带来了爱。 65、当时我并不知道我在拼写一个单词，甚至还不知道世界上有单词这么回事儿。 我只是像猴子那样用手指进行模仿。在接下来的几天里，我就这样，虽然并不知道词义，却学会了拼 写好些单词。这些词中有“针”、“帽”、“杯”，还有些动词，如“坐”、“站”、“走”。但是等我懂得 每样东西都有名字时，已经是我和老师在一起好几个星期之后的事情了。 Section ? Writing 66、Changing Criteria for Good College Students Probably five or more years ago, good college students simply meant students good at academic work. On being admitted into a college or university, students usually worked very hard just to be top students. They spent most of their campus time in classrooms, reading-rooms or laboratories. They thought about nothing but their studies. Their motivation was very strong and simple: single-minded concentration remarkable. But the criteria for good college students are changing now. It is true that good marks continue to be some students' dream, yet there is a growing number of students who are concerned much more about things other than academic achievement. They are trying to achieve versatility in such areas as art, music, and sports, They also want eagerly to be involved in activities like speech con tests, argumentation on current hot social problems. Moreover, some students have become business men or businesswomen by running a company or serving in an enterprise. In short, with these abilities they want to live better in a competitive society after graduation. The changes that have taken place are, generally speaking, changes for the better. Times are different, and job market demands personnel with both intelligent and non-intelligent qualities such as creativity, observation, reasoning, as well as the ability of applying theory to practice. Therefore, students today should be better prepared for challenges and competition upon graduatior.
