A privilege B advantage C right D tradition 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词辨义和上下文理解。根据题意和常识可知，美国是一个联邦制国家，各 州拥有自己的立法权，所以应选right(权利)。privilege指“特权”，advantage 指“优势”，tradition指“传统”，它们填入题中都不合逻辑。

考查上下文结构和表达。由上下文不难看出，空格前一句是总起句，引入短文话题——美国各州都有立法权，而空格后则是具体的立法行为，但又不是全部的立法范畴，所以应当只是举例进行说明，故应选[B]项for example(比如，例如)。其余三项中，as a result指“结果”，in other words指“换句话说，换言之”，in this case指“在这种情形下”，它们填入题中都不合上下文结构逻辑。 第3题 A demand B disagree C discuss D determine 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义。由于题句主语是states(各州)，空格后的宾语是。policies(政策)，故根据上下文和常识可知句意应指“各州可以(根据公众的意见)就教育问题制定政策”，即应填入一个表示“制定”的动词，故选determine，即[D]。此外，后文中重复出现了determine一词，实际上是为考生作出了提示，考生应能敏锐把握。其余三个动词都不合上下文逻辑以及本题主宾语之间的搭配关系:demand指“要求”，disagree指 “不一致，不适宜，有分歧”，discuss指“讨论”。 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 第4题 A collect B issue C demand D implement 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义和搭配。根据上下文逻辑、常识，尤其是空格后的宾语tax(税收)不难看出，此处指各州可以征收所得税，即应填入表“征收”的动词，故选[A]。其余三个动词都没有“征收”这一含义:issue指“发行，发布”，demand指“要求”，implement指“执行，实现”。它们也都不能以tax作宾语。 第5题 A limit B control C rule D regulation 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词辨义和上下文理解。本题中能与speed(速度，车速)同现于一个语义场中的名词是limit(限制，限定)，指各州可以决定车速上限。其余三项填入题中都不合逻辑:control指“控制”;rule指“规则，惯例”;regulation指“规则，规章”。易误选的是[D]，但regulation多用复数形式，且不能被speed修饰。 第6题 A can 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com B shall C may D must 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查情态动词辨义和上下文理解。根据常识和短文主旨可知，此处指在美国大部分地区，一个人要到21岁才能买酒。这是一项法律，具有强制力，故应选含有此义的must(必须)。其余三项的语气都不合本题:can指“能够，可以”，shall指“应当”(它用于指义务)，may指“可以”。 第7题 A and B or C also D not 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查连词和上下文结构。很明显，a liquor store(酒类商店)、bar(酒吧)和restaurant(饭店)三者之间是并列关系，并且表达的是“任选”之意，故选or(或者)，即[B]。其余三项中，and虽然也表并列关系，但它不含“任选”义;also和not都是副词，不用于连接并列名词。 第8题 A clerk B salesperson C owner D host 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词辨义和上下文理解。本题答题的关键在于后文。综合后文中a large sum of money(一大笔钱)一处、短文主旨和前文中所提到的法律规定可知，此处应指如果商店卖给未成年人酒类，该商店的店主将被重罚，因此应填owner(所有者，老板)。其余三项中，clerk指“侍者，服务员”，salesperson指“售货员”，host指“(相对于客人而言的)主人”，它们都不合逻辑。 第9题 A fined B charged C punished D suffered 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义。由上题的分析以及常识可知，此处指店主将被“罚”款，而选项中含有“罚款”含义的动词是fine，故本题选[A]。其余三项中，charge指“控告，收费”;punish指“惩罚，惩处”，suffer指“遭受(痛苦)，经历”。而除charge外，它们都不能用money作宾语。 第10题 A In addition B In fact C In reality D In general 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 考查固定搭配辨义和上下文逻辑。由于下文所述的是一种比前文所述更为严厉的法律规定，是对前文的一种补充说明，前后文之间是递进关系，所以选in addition(另外，加之)。其余三项都是表达上下文逻辑关系的副词性固定搭配:in fact指“事实上，实际上”，in reality指“其实，事实上”，它们都指一种与前文不符的情况;in general指“通常，大体上”，它多用于总结或者描述一般性情况。 第11题 A that B this C it D which 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查从句关系词。由于空格前后各是独立的句子，且空格后说明的是空格前名词taw的内容，因此空格后是一个定语从句;又因空格前有逗号，故此处就是一个非限制性定语从句，关系词只能用which。 第12题 A exposed B suspected C caught D detected 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义和分词后置定语的用法。由上下文和常识不难看出，此处指“任何人一旦被抓到携带敞开的酒瓶将被逮起来”，因此应填入一个可表“抓住”的动 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 词，故选[C]项。catch指“抓到”，正好符合这一意思。其余三项都不合题意:expose指“暴露”，suspect指“怀疑，不相信”，detect指“察觉，发现”。有一 部分考生误选了[D]项，但填入它不合常识和逻辑。 第13题 A Nevertheless B Anyway C Moreover D Therefore 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查连词和上下文逻辑。由前面各题的分析可知，前文讲的是美国各州的立法情况，尤其突出了其严厉程度，而后文说的则是美国酒类消费仍然是一个严重的问题。很明显，上下文之间应当是让步关系，选nevertheless(然而，不过)，即答案为[A]。其余三项中，anyway指“无论如何，总之”，用于作出结论;moreover指“而且，此外”，表示前后文之间是递进或者补充关系;therefore指“因此，所以”，表示因果关系。 第14题 A application B consumption C expenditure D usage 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词辨义和上下文理解。根据下文中的drinking(饮用)以及alcohol sales(酒类销量)两处可知，这里应指酒的“消费”，故选consumption(消费)， 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 即[B]项。其余三项都无法概括下文意思:application指“应用，申请”;expenditure指“支出，花费”;usage指“利用，使用”。 第15题 A condition B crisis C question D problem 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词辨义。根据上下文文意以及空格前的修饰词serious(严重的)可知，这里应该用problem(问题)，即选[D]。注意分清problem和question两个“问题”:前者指需要解决(solve)的“问题”，后者指需要回答(answer)的问题。 第16题 A though B as C where D which 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查从句关系词。本题关键在于分析清楚句子结构。察看题句可知，句子主干是Drinking has (42) greatly，而 (41) there are many underage drinkers应当是前面campuses(校园)的一个非限制性定语从句。由于campuses指的是地点，而填入的关系词在从句中又作状语，因此只能选where(它相当于in which)。 第17题 A raised 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com B increased C peaked D climaxed 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义和用法。根据上文的意思以及空格后的greatly(大大地)，可知此处应填入一个表示“(数量)增长”的不及物动词，故选increase(增加)，即[B]项。考生容易混淆的是[A]项，因为raise指“提高，上升”，在意思上与increase较近，但raise是个及物动词，其后应当跟有宾语。至于其他两项，peak指“竖起，达到最高点”，climax指“达到顶点/高潮”，都含有比较义，故都不合题意。 第18题 A when B since C before D after 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查介词用法和完成时态。分析题句结构，由空格前主句所用的现在完成时态和空格后从句所用的一般过去时态，结合文意可以看出，此处应指酒的销量自法定饮酒年龄被上调以后增加了，所以选since(自从)。其余三项填入题中都不合逻辑。注意，after虽然看似正确，但它作连词后跟从句时，指“紧接或继„之后”，此时主句一般不用完成时态。 第19题 A shifted B upgraded 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com C uplifted D changed 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词辨义和上下理解。由空格后的from 18 to 21可知，此处填入一个表示“提高”的动词最恰当。upgrade指“提高，把„提高到一个更高的水平或”，符合题目要求，故是正确答案。其余选项中易混淆的是uplift，它虽然也含有“提高”的意思，但多指“提高”社会地位、文化、道德水准或状况等抽象内容，或者用于指具体的“抬起，举起”动作，但不用于数字;shift和change都指“改变，转变”，但它们都较笼统，不体现改变的方向，没有upgrade那样准确、明了。 第20题 A same B for C as D that 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 考查连词用法。选项中能用于指代前面一句话的连接词只有as(与„一样)，因此本题选[C]。此外，由上下文文意可看出，此处有比较意味，即北美与其他一些国家的情形一样，据此也可确定选as。 二、Reading Comprehension(共10小题,共20.0分)Read the following three texts(Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D( 第1题 The ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts. Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When the female ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them. By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest. Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in than her own nest. During that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food. And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers. By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own. The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest, so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest. The rejected eggs, however, never include any of her own. Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers. Of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds. There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female's nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors. We learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as ______. A it is a special kind of bird B it lives in large desert areas C it has special wings and legs D it is the largest bird in the world 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 细节题。短文第一段最后一句指出:Because of its very long，powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings...(由于其修长、有力的双腿和其羽翼张开而产生的浮力作用„„)，这正是鸵鸟可以快速奔跑很长距离的原因。题干和选项[C]只是将该句的语序做了变换，将because改成了as而已。 第2题 Normally, in every rainy season, the female ostrich produces about ______. A 12 eggs in her nest B 18 eggs in her nest C 20 eggs in her nest D 30 eggs in her nest 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 推理判断题。短文第二段第一句指出:The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season(雌鸵鸟每个雨季通常约产蛋20枚)，而该段最后一句又指出:By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs，she returns...(待产下八九枚蛋后，它便回去，将其他蛋产在自己的巢里)。结合这两处不难推知它产在自己巢里的蛋约12枚，所以本题答案为[A]。虽然计算很简单，但有许多考生误选了[C]项，究其原因，就是没有仔细审题，没有注意到选项中的in her nest这个限定条件所致。 第3题 The female ostrich would push some of the eggs out of her nest because ______. A she can only hatch her own eggs B those eggs are unlikely to be hatched C those eggs are to be hatched by others D she can only hatch a limited number of eggs 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:2.0分 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 【答案解析】 细节题。本题的答题依据是第四段第一句话:The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs...so before...out of the nest(雌鸵鸟坐在巢中时只能很好地罩住约20枚蛋，所以坐下来孵蛋前它会把多出的十余枚蛋挤出巢去)。其中的only与选项[D]中的a limited number(数量有限)对应。其余各项都属于抓住原文词句进行的发挥。 第4题 The female ostrich identifies her own eggs by their size and ______. A color B number C shape D weight 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。题干中的size(大小)出现在短文第四段最后一句，因此可迅速定位到该句。该句中与size同时出现的还有shape(形状)一词，结合句意和题意即可确定答案为[C]。 第5题 The female ostrich lays her eggs in her neighbors' nests most probably because ______. A her nest is not big enough B she cannot protect all her eggs C she cannot tolerate all her eggs D her nest is not comfortable enough 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:2.0分 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 【答案解析】 推理判断题。文章最后一段实际上解释了鸵鸟将蛋下在别的巢中的原因。其中最 后一句指出:But even if...one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors(但即便某只雌鸟的巢遭受到了这种噩运，它所 下的一两个蛋还是很有可能在邻鸟的巢中孵化出来)。由此即可推知，鸵鸟把蛋 下在别的鸟巢中，是因为它无法保护自己所下的每一枚蛋，因此本题答案就是 [B]。 第6题 In the United States, there's a widespread belief that statistics don't lie. Perhaps that's why surveys are such an important part of American life. For many years, politicians, businesspeople, and scholars have used surveys to find out more about that mysterious and complicated creature, the human being. American newspapers and magazines have been taking public opinion polls since the 1800s. In the 1930s, poll experts such as Elmo Poper and George Gallup began using scientific methods to select and interview participants in political surveys. Since the 1940s, American businesspeople have been developing, naming, packaging, and promoting products with the help of surveys. And also since the 1940s, surveys have been a major research tool among scholars in the social sciences. Psychologists and sociologists have asked people about everything from their religious beliefs to their sexual behavior. The mass media have frequently reported the results of these surveys, and the American public has always been quite interested in the responses. However, the most complete and most important survey for Americans is the national census. A census is the official count of the number of people living in a city, state, or country. The idea of a census has existed for more than two thousand years. In ancient Rome, the government counted its citizens for purposes of taxation and military service. But the first modern census began here in the United States in 1790. In that year, the population of the new nation was 3 929 214. Since 1790, the American government has taken a census every ten years, and the population has been growing steadily every decade. The 1980 census reported a population of 226 504 825. In addition to statistics on the total population, the 1980 census has given us a great deal of information about recent changes in American life. One of the many important changes concerns where people live. Americans are still a mainly urban people with about 75 percent of the population living in or near large cities. But, since 1970, the small communities 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com have been gaining population at a faster rate than the cities or suburbs. Americans have been moving back to the small towns and the rural areas. This is a dramatic change from the trend in preceding decades. Americans have always done a great deal of moving from one part of the country to another, but, in recent years, the moves have been mostly to the South and West. States in the "Sun Belt" have been gaining population, and states in the Northeast and the Midwest have been losing population. Marriage and family life have been changing, too. Americans have been later, having fewer children, getting more divorces, and living marrying more often as singles or as unmarried couples. The actual number of married couples has risen in recent years, but the percentage of married people has declined. Similarly, the number of actual births has gone up, but the size of the average family has gone down. The average young woman of today plans to have only two children. Along with many other surveys, the national census gives Americans a statistical picture of a changing society. It allows the government and the people to see what's happening and to adjust to the new picture. The main idea of the passage is that ______. A the census gives an accurate count of the number of people in the United States B the United States government has taken a census every ten years C the census gives a lot of information about population and changes in American life and society D according to the latest census, the average American is happier than ever before 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 主旨题。通读全文可知，文章谈论的是美国人口普查的诞生和发展历史及它在促 进美国经济、政治等方面的发展所起的作用，因此最能概括全文主旨的是[C]。 第7题 Paragraph 2 mainly discusses surveys and polls for ______. A political participants and businesses 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com B political participants and scientists C businesses and scientists D political participants, businesses, and social scientists 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。文章第二段第二句提到了participants in political surveys，第三句提到了businesspeople，第四句提到了social scientists，因此本题答案是[D]。 第8题 With the help of the census, people can know much about the changes in ______. A population B moves of the people C marriage and family life D all of the above 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 分析推理题。文章第四段第一句指出，除了统计人口总数，人口普查还体现出了美国人生活中的许多变化。而在该段第二句提到了where people live，第三、四、五句中提到了人口的移动(moving)，这三个方面都可通过普查体现出来，选[D]。 第9题 Which of the following is NOT true in the passage? A Surveys are important because they never give us false information. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com B Surveys can help us to know far more about the society we are living in. C Census is one of the many types of surveys. D Census can provide us with much more information besides population. 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。本题为细节比对题。[A]是曲解了文章第一句话的意思，也可由常识判 定它是错误的。其余三项都在文中提及了且与文意相符。 第10题 According to the author, the census can be of great help to us because ______. A it is one of the most complete and important surveys in history B it gives us a great deal of information on whatever we need C it gives us a true picture of marriage life in the United States D it helps us to understand and adjust to the changing society better 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。答案信息对应于文章最后一句:It allows the government...to see what's happening and to adjust to the new picture，[D]只是表达方式不同。 三、Writing(本大题2小题(每题15.0分，共30.0分。You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2( ) 第1题 Suppose you have done something wrong to your friend Jennifer because of misunderstanding.

You do not need to write the address. 【正确答案】: A Letter of Apology Dear Jennifer, It is with great regret that I am writing this letter of apology to you. I now realize that I was entirely unjust in saying you were an unreliable person, which was solely based on misunderstanding. You promised to tutor my neighbour's child in English on Saturday but didn't come. Later it came to me that you were only helping send an old lady to hospital. How regretful I was when I knew that I had wronged you! It's my sincere hope that my unfair remarks will not harm our friendship. Now I beg to withdraw my rash statement about you. Please accept my sincere apology.

Fishes have jumped or are jumping into the big tanks. As a result, the big tanks become extremely crowded. In contrast, the smaller tanks become empty. The thought-provoking cartoon reflects a serious social problem in today's China. In order to look for a good job and earn more money, more and more workers from the countryside have migrated into big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Consequently, these cities become more and more crowded, and a series of social problems have arisen — heavy traffic, serious air pollution, crime, and so on. On the other hand, in the countryside, the elderly and adolescent are not well taken care of, and the crops are not grown well due to insufficient manpower. What can we do to resolve this problem? In my opinion, it's up for the government to take some measures which ensure that young workers would rather remain in smaller towns and in the countryside, such as better salary and more employment opportunities in these areas.

The emphasis was always on finding a best friend — a soul mate — someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it doesn't seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high-achieving men. Grise Levison: I think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you'd want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk. Marry Brown: In recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart women. The problem was finding them. Donna Smith: I think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren't willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order. Elizabeth Budy: I think that people who have done at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It's also true that they're likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them.

[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul. [E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn't a piece of cake. [F] Career success ensures a solid marriage. [G] Social assistance is needed for today's single women. Timothy Constance 【正确答案】: [D] [本题分数]: 1.0 分 【答案解析】 首先通读Timothy Constance的发言。其中第二句指出:The emphasis was always on finding a best friend„(她们强调的总是要找到一个好朋友——一个心心 相印的伴侣„„)。再细读选项，我们发现该句中的soul一词重现在选项[D]中， 该项的意思是“婚姻的核心部分就是心灵的结合”，正好符合Timothy Constance发言的主旨，因此该项就是本题正确答案。 第2题 Grise Levison 【正确答案】: [E] [本题分数]: 1.0 分 【答案解析】 通读第二人的发言后不难发现，Grise Levison强调的核心是emotional intimacy(情感上的亲密)。而其最后一句又指出:It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search...(„„需要尝试，会犯错误，需要 经过长久而专注的寻找)，也就是说，要找到一个与你在情感上亲密无间的人并 不容易。再看选项，我们发现能够表达这一意思的是[E]项，其中的emotionally、 intimate正是emotional、intimacy 两词形式不同的重现。 第3题 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com Marry Brown 【正确答案】: [A] [本题分数]: 1.0 分 【答案解析】 本题需要在综合。Marry Brown发言的基础上进行一定的推断。在发言中，Marry Brown首先指出如今的女孩比过去更有竞争力、更坚强，接着说有些女性觉得她们的才智或者学识上的成就似乎不利于她们与男性恋爱。然后用however一词表达了对这种看法的否定，指出大多数女性还是觉得定会有男性会被聪明的女性所吸引，问题不过是如何找到这些男性而已。由此不难推断，发言者认为女性有能力、有成就并不是这些女性在恋爱时的一个不利因素，所以答案无疑就是[A]。 第4题 Donna Smith 【正确答案】: [C] [本题分数]: 1.0 分 【答案解析】 本题较为容易。对照选项与Donna Smith的发言段，我们发现关键词family和career同时出现在发言段和选项[C]中，而且发言段中的how to arrange that in a particular order(如何独特而有序地安排好)在意义上正好对应于该项中的balance(平衡)一词，因此该项就是本题正确答案。[F]项中虽也出现了career一词，以及整个讨论的主题marriage(婚姻)，但其中的ensure(确保)和solid(稳固的)两词在所有人的发言中都没有体现，因此不能选。 第5题 Elizabeth Budy 【正确答案】: [B] [本题分数]: 1.0 分 【答案解析】 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 本题也比较容易，因为选项[B]中和Elizabeth Budy的发言段中同现了关键词 partner(伴侣)和a stable marriage(稳定的婚姻)。而且，发言段第一句中的more likely to对应于选项中的ensure一词。多余的两个选项是[F]项和[G]项;至于后者，其中的social assistance(社会援助)在所有人的发言中都没有提及，选项意思也无法由各个发言段合理推知，完全属于一个生造选项，对于大多数考生来说都不难排除。 五、Listening Comprehension(共25小题,共25.0分) 第1题 What does the woman mean? A She will drive the man to the supermarket. B The man should buy a car of his own. C The man needn't go shopping every week. D She can pick the man up at the grocery store. 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I'd also be happy to pick up anything you need. W: Well, I don't like to let anyone else drive my car. Tell you what, why don't we go together? 推断题。男士首先提出借用女士的汽车去购物，之后的全都是干扰信息;而女士用I don't like to...直接回绝了男士的要求，然后用why don't we go together(为什么我们不一起去)这样一个最常用的建议句型提出建议，由此可以推断女士虽不愿借车，但愿意开车送男士去，因此选[A]。其余三项中，[B]、[C]两项都属于对话中没有提及的信息，[D]项则属于抓住男士话语中的pick一词进行发挥。 第2题 Why can't Tom have the suit cleaned? A Because he is too busy playing cards. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com B Because he has no work to do. C Because he is working at his homework. D Because he does not want to. 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Tom, you ought to have that dress cleaned. It's too dirty. M: But I'm too busy with my school work now. 男士回答中的I'm too busy with my school work就是[C]。其余三项都与 此不符。 第3题 Where will the woman's family most likely stay during the planned holiday? A In a tent. B In a car. C In a hotel. D In a friend's tent. 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: A hotel? For a holiday like that? Why don't you try it the hard way? I have always taken a tent with us. W: Oh, it must be nice, but we could never contemplate it with our lot. We're terribly disorganized as a family and our car isn't big enough to get all of us in. 本题考查考生对转折表达的理解。男士用why don't you...这一句型提出建 议，女士先礼貌性地回答it must be nice，然后用but一转折，实际上还是坚 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 持了自己的想法。比较特殊的是，女士的想法是通过男士A hotel? For a holiday like that?这两个省略问句表达出来的，男士正是出于对这一想法的反对，才提出自己的建议。因此本题选[C]。 第4题 What does the man wish to do? A Go to a park B Park his car. C Drive on. D Beat the rush hour. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: We've beaten the rush hour. Did you see that? W: I wish we could stop. M: How the hell can I stop? I'll stop as soon as I've found somewhere to park! 本题较为简单，听清了男士最后一句话即可得出正确答案。[A]项属于针对park一词设置的干扰项，对话中的park是动词，指“停车”;[C]项在原文中根本没有体现;[D]则是照搬男士的原话，它属于一种状态，而非男士wish去做的事情。注意beat the rush hour指“避开交通高峰时段”。 第5题 What is the probable relationship between the two speakers? A Teacher and student. B Father and daughter. C Boss and secretary. D Two students. 【正确答案】:D 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Are you going to return to your present job after the vacation? W: No, I plan to graduate next semester. That means I'll have to be a full-time student. M: Yes. And I'll have to concentrate on my study, too. 本题为人物关系题。提示对话者关系的关键词是女士后一句中的be a full-time student和男士最后一句中的my study，说明他们都是学生。 第6题 Why is Miss Brown in that office? A She is the office manager. B She is looking for a new job. C She will interview the man. D She is learning about advertising. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Good morning. I'm Miss Brown. I answered your ad for an experienced advertising executive. M: Oh, yes, Miss Brown. Won't you have a seat? The manager will see you shortly. 本题关键在于听清女士的第二句话:I answered your ad for an experienced advertising executive，即她是看了招聘广告后才来(应聘)的，因此选[B]。 第7题 What does the woman propose to do? A Climb the mountains. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com B Go out for a walk to the new forest. C Go sightseeing in a car. D Have a wonderful meal at the weekend. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: What shall we do this weekend? W: Let's go for a walk. M: Where to go, then? W: Let's go to the new forest. We haven't been there too long. M: That's a good idea. I'll pick you up at about ten. Is that all right? W: That's wonderful. See you then. Bye! 在第一轮对话中女士提出go for a walk，在第二轮对话中又提出go to the new forest，综合起来她的意思就是go for a walk to the new forest，选[B]。 第8题 What does the woman imply about teaching? A It's awfully dull. B It's really exciting. C It's very exhausting. D It's quite challenging. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Wouldn't you get bored with the same routine year after year teaching the same things to children? W: I don't think it would be as boring as working in an office. Teaching is stimulating. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 本题关键在于考生理解女士最后一句话中用于描述教书的形容词 stimulating的意思，它指“鼓舞的”，与exciting同义，故答案是[B]。 第9题 What does the man usually do on Saturdays? A He usually relaxes. B He always goes fishing. C He has to go to work. D He usually works at home. 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: You're always working around the house on Saturday, painting and doing repairs. You must enjoy it. M: Not really. I'd rather relax or go fishing, but Saturday is the only day I have to get anything done. By the time I get home from work during the week, I'm too tired. 本题较为特殊，听清女士第一句话对男士的描述即可选出答案。男士后面的话都属于补充信息。考生误选较多的是[C]项，但go to work指“(出门)去上班”，与对话显然不符。 第10题 What are these people doing? A They are watching TV. B They are listening to the radio. C They are swimming in the channel. D They are changing their news program. 【正确答案】:A 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Will you please change this channel? I can't stand this program. W: If you wait a minute, the news will be on next. I want to be sure to see it tonight. 本题提示对话者所做的事情的关键词是change this channel和program， 说明他们是在看电视。收音机一般不用channel。 第11题 Why is Laura at the shop? A She's waiting for John. B She's having her bicycle repaired. C She's looking for her uncle. D She is working there for her uncle. 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 11-14 W: Hi, John. M: Oh! Hi, Laura. What are you doing here? W: Uh, I'm usually here on weekends. It's my uncle's shop. So you are looking for a bike? M: Yeah. Now that the weather is warming up, I thought I should get some exercise instead of taking the bus all the time. W: Well, that's a good idea and you come to the right place. Do you know what you like? M: Well, I don't want a racer or a touring bike or anything like that. Mostly I'll just be using it to get me back and forth from work. W: How far is that? M: About four miles. W: Are there a lot of hills on the way? M: Some, I guess. But maybe I should tell you at first that I only got 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 150 dollars. Can I get anything decent for that? W: Well, you are not going to get anything on the top of the line. But we do have a few trade-ins in the back that are in good condition. M: That sounds good. W: And you are right. For the kind of ride you are going to be doing, the most important thing is comfort. You want to make sure it's the right height for you? Follow me and I'll show you what we've got. 本题带有推断性质。在第一个话轮中，男士询问女士在那儿干什么(What are you doing here)，接下来的一个话轮中女士没有明确回答，而是交代了两个信 息:一是I'm usually here on weekends，二是It's my uncle's shop。而从 后续对话不难看出，女士一直是作为店员在为男士选自行车。综合这些方面，就 可知答案是[D]。其余各项都属于随意发挥或者是原文中没有的内容。 第12题 Why does John want to buy a bicycle? A Because he wants to replace his old bicycle. B Because he wants to begin bicycling to work and get some exercise. C Because he wants to make a bicycle tour. D Because he wants to train for a bicycle race. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 本题属于细节题。选项[B]就是对男士在第二个话轮中I thought I should get some exercise和第三个话轮中I'll just be using it to get me back and forth from work两处的综合和归纳，因此是正确答案。其余各项都与此意不符。 第13题 What does Laura suggest that John do? A Buy a used bicycle. B Buy a racing bicycle. C Adjust the height of his old bicycle. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com D Sell his old bicycle to the shop. 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 本题关键是理解女士在第六个话轮中所说trade-in一词。它指“折价的旧物品”，相当于[A]项中的used bicycle。由于女士的这句话出现在男士说自己只有150美元之后，因此根据常识不难推断出女士是针对男士的这一情况给出建议。其余三项都属于抓住对话中的个别词句进行的元据发挥。 第14题 What does Laura think is most important to John's bicycle? A It must be the right height for John. B It must be safe. C It must have several gears and good tires. D It must be cheap. 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 本题属于带有推断性质的细节题。在最后一个话轮中，女士明确指出:the most important thing is comfort，但选项中并没有重现comfort一词，因此它肯定有具体所指。细听后面的话，发现女士要求男士make sure it's the right height for you，根据逻辑和常识即可判断出这正是女士所说的comfort的具体内容，因此本题应选[A]项。其余三项所涉及的都是对话中没有出现的信息，均可排除。 第15题 Where did most of the pilgrims the speaker met come from? A From USA. B From Europe. C From Ohio. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com D From his hometown. 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 15-18 The birthplace Was to open at 10 a.m. It was 9:30 and already the pilgrims had formed a long queue. I asked a lady from Ohio why she had come. "For Shakespeare," she said. "Isn't that why you came?" "Not entirely," I said. "I was born here. I'm visiting my family. " "You were born here?" She said, as if only Shakespeare had the right. It was my first time home in many years. Long ago I had emigrated to America. Now I was visiting places in which I had taken little interest before: the birthplace, for example. I had passed it perhaps a hundred times without a thought of going in. Now it would cost me just under two pounds, about $ 3. But an even stranger experience was buying a ticket to the school two members of my family had entered. Shakespeare had gone there 350 years before. It was a good school, but I was fortunate to have been sent to a better one. "Better than Shakespeare's?" Asked an American to whom I had confided. "I don't see how that could be possible," he had muttered before turning away. I had taken Shakespeare for granted. However, in my current tourist status, that would have to be changed. Respect was called for. I must learn to refer to him as the Bard, and not as Will in the familiar way, and never a "Willie-the Shake", which is an inelegant but customary nickname for some of the younger generation. This was no problem. Shakespeare worship had been made earlier than my day. Every building with Shakespeare connections was preserved. An inclusive ticket enabled holders to see them all. When several Americans whom I had run into asked me to show them around, I readily agreed. 本题属于细节归纳题，答题的关键是抓住原文中提到的两个地点词汇: Ohio(美国的一个州)和America(作者移民的地方)，以及游客身份American(s)。 由于涉及的都是美国，因此本题当然选[A]。其他三项中，[B]中的Europe在原 文中没有提及;[C]、[D]则只属于原文中的词汇。注意，这篇小故事在理解上有 一定的难度，需要考生仔细听清、认真分析才能充分把握。 第16题 What was the main difference the speaker noted on returning to his hometown? 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com A It was just early in the morning. B The school he visited had become better than it used to be. C The birthplace of Shakespeare had become a tourist attraction because of the Shakespeare worship. D Many Americans lived there now. 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 本题属于推断题。短文先描述了说话者自己所看到的莎翁出生地游客的众多和热 情，然后说明自己以前对待莎翁出生地及与之相关的东西的漠视，最后指出对莎 翁的崇拜要求作者的尊重态度，还描述了一些游客对他的批评态度。由这两种情 形之间的对比可以看出，区别当然就是莎翁出生地变成旅游胜地，因此本题答案 就是[C]。 第17题 What was the direct connection between the members of the speaker's family and Shakespeare? A They owned Shakespeare's birthplace. B They went to the school where Shakespeare had studied many years before. C They lived near Shakespeare's house. D They shared Shakespeare's first name. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 本题是细节题，对应的信息在独白第三段中部一句:...the school two members of my family had entered. Shakespeare had gone there 350 years before， 说明他的家人和莎翁上了同一所学校。 第18题 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com How can a visitor see all the buildings with Shakespeare connections according to the speaker? A With a ticket about three dollars. B With an inclusive ticket. C With the speaker's permission. D With great Shakespeare worship. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 本题也是细节题。独白倒数第二句指出:An inclusive ticket enabled holders to see them all，其中的them指代的就是前面所说的Every building with Shakespeare connections，因此本题选[B]。 第19题 Who is the woman? A A traveler. B A travel agent. C A friend of the man. D A colleague of the man. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 19-22 M: Hello. I'd like some information about your trips to Paris. W: Yes, of course. What can I do for you? M: Well, how do we travel? W: It's a new coach with a washing room and ... M: And, er, how many people in a group?

How long in advance would I have to book? W: Well, it depends. Usually six to eight weeks. M: Well, I am interested in the four-day trip in mid-August. It will be for two people. W: That'd be fine. Could you come in and we can go over all the details? M: Yes. But can you give me some idea of how much that'll cost? W: Um, we haven't got the exact figures at the moment, but, er, something like 250 Euro per person. M: OK. Um, I'll come and see you one day next week. W: Yes. Thank you for ringing. M: Thank you. Bye. W: Bye. 由女士所用的what can I do for you?这一句从事服务性工作的人员的常用 语及后面对话中女士都是在向男士介绍旅游的相关信息可知她应是旅行社的工 作人员，选[B]。 第20题 Which trip is the man interested in? A A ten-day trip to Paris. B A ten-day trip to Amsterdam. C A four-day trip to Paris. D A four-day trip to Amsterdam. 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 男士的第一句话即指出他想问的是去巴黎的旅游线路，而在第七轮对话中他又明 确说明自己感兴趣的是the four-day trip in mid-August，结合起来可知选[C]。 第21题 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com According to the woman, how long should the man book the trip in advance? A Six to eight months. B Seven to eight months. C Seven to eight weeks. D Six to eight weeks. 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 第六轮对话中男士询问需要预先多长时间预订，女士回答说要看情况而定，然后说通常是6,8周(usually six to eight weeks)，因此本题答案是[D]。 第22题 How much per person will the trip cost? A About 215 pounds. B About 250 pounds. C About 215 Euro. D About 250 Euro. 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 第八轮对话中男士询问的是价钱，女士回答说目前还未确定，但大约是每人250欧元(something like 250 Euro per person)，故选[D]。 第23题 How did the speaker and the old lady become good friends? A They took morning walk together. B They used to know each other before the speaker moved there. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com C They were the only people in that neighborhood. D The old lady often invited the speaker to her house for a cup of tea. 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 23-25 Some years ago I moved to the country. There were not many houses in the neighborhood at that time. The house closest to mine was occupied by a woman. She was about 60 years old and lived all by herself. I used to take a morning walk and on my way home the old lady would invite me to her house for a cup of tea. Soon we became good friends. We talked about a lot of things when we were together. But my neighbor never mentioned her family. It seemed to me that the old lady had no relations and her only life companion was her pet — a dog she called Tommy. One night in July I was fast asleep when I was suddenly awakened by the barking of a dog. When I opened the door, I was surprised to find Tommy there. When the dog saw me, it started running towards the house of its owner, stopped, barked at me, and started running again. I followed the dog to my neighbor's house and found the old lady was lying on the floor. Later I learned from the doctor at the hospital that the old lady had had a heart attack that night and that her life would have been in danger if I had not taken her to the hospital immediately. 独白第五、六句指出:the old lady would invite me to her house for a cup of tea. Soon we became good friends，即老太太经常请说话者喝茶，因 此他们成了好朋友，选[D]。 第24题 What did they do when they were together? A They talked about a lot of things. B The speaker cooked for the old lady. C They did some gardening. D They talked about their families. 【正确答案】:A 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 本题关键是听清独自的第七句:we talked a lot of things when we were together，与[A]一致。并且后一句又明确指出老太太从不谈起自己的家人。 第25题 What happened one night? A The dog fell ill and barked all night long. B The dog played a trick on the speaker. C The dog awakened the speaker and led him to help its master. D The speaker had a nightmare in which he saved his neighbour's life. 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 独白第十句以后的内容都是叙述有天晚上发生的事情。由独自可知，狗叫醒了说 话者，并把说话者带到了老太太家，发现老太太躺在地上;说话者把老太太送到 医院，救了她。综合起来可知选[C]。 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com
