解析：词义辨析题。本题难度稍大，关键点在题干中的into一词。devote与dedicate意思相近，均为“致力于”，但是这两个词要用于devote／dedicate

oneself to结构中。throw oneself可与into连用，意为“投身于”，符合题意。contribute

to意为“导致；捐献”，一般不与oneself连用。另外，devote与dedicate略有不同，前者为普通用词，表示“投入”，后者一般则强调“为理想而献身”。参考例句：Hedevoted much of his time to studying English．他把大量时间投在了英语学习上。Shededicated／devoted all her life to the welfare of women and children．她一生致力于妇女和儿童的福利。This magazine is dedicated to natural science．这是一本专注于自然科学的杂志。

解析：动词辨析题。appreciate意为“欣赏；感激”；approve意为“赞成；批准”；introduce意为“引进；介绍”；recommend意为“推荐”。四个词中appreciate和recommend均可跟doing作宾语，根据句意，应选recommend。另外需要注意：approve用作“批准”时为及物动词；用作“赞成”时为不及物动词，与介词of连用。参考例句：The mayor approved the new plan．市长批准了新计划。I quite

解析：形容词辨析题。arbitrary意为“武断的，随意的”；obvious意为“明显的”；evident意为“明显的，明白的”；fortunate意为“幸运的”。本题中obvious

与evident词义接近，区分难度较大，其差别在于evident多用于推理或抽象事物。参考例句：It’s evident that the plan is impracticable．很明显这计划是不可行的。obvious强调“容易知道或发现，无须解释或证明”。参考例句：It’s obvious that

aman isn’t strong enough to lift an elephant．

11． I followed her______but I still couldn’t work out how to use the sewing

machine.

正确答案：A

解析：动词辨析题。flutter意为“飘动”；feature意为“以……为特色，起重要作用”；fuss意为“(为小事)烦恼”；ferry意为“摆渡”。本题难度较大，flutter与flap押头韵，形成相对固定的表达，意为“扇动翅膀”。feature，fuss，ferry三词作名词的用法更常见些，意思分别为“特征”、“大惊小怪”、“渡船”。参考例句：An interesting feature of the city is the old market．这座城市的一个有趣特征就是古老的市场。I don’t want to make a fuss about such a trifle．我不想为这种小事大吵大闹。

26． The moment seemed to ______ out endlessly, his gaze travelling across her

Reading Comprehension

How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space

requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting

experiments on rats to try to determine the effect of overcrowded conditions on man.

Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats

have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if

their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their

health perceptibly change. They cannot sleep or eat well, and signs of fear and tension

become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other

even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this

a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but also

essential for human survival?

31． This passage is mainly about______.

A．living space and behavior

B．population and living conditions

C．interesting experiments on rats

D．natural law for human society

正确答案：A

解析：主旨题。从文章前两句可知本文主要是关于living space的，因此答案为A)。

32． What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?

A．To determine how much living space a rat needs.

B．To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.

C．To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.

D．To find out the relationship between population and living conditions.

正确答案：C

解析：细节题。本题考查实验目的，这类题目答案一般在开始介绍实验的地方。文章第二三句中的目的状语to try to determine the effeet of overcrowded

conditions on man就是答案出处，对其进行压缩改写，保留关键词effect，将man改写为human beings，则得出答案为C)。

33． How would rats behave when their living conditions become too crowded?

A．They eat a lot and become friendly to others.

B．They sleep little and act quite peacefully.

C．They eat little but sleep soundly.

D．They become nervous and tend to be war-like.

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。本题考查点在文章中间位置的However一词上，However所在句与其后两句，构成句群，根据句群第二句中的tension和第三句中的kill，可以得出答案为D)。

34． The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions______.

A．are directly related with population

B．may cause an increase in violence

C．may lead to high birth rate

D．may bring about pollution problems

正确答案：B

解析：推理题。本题考查点在文章结尾处Thus一词。Thus表明作者进行总结，其后为作者对主题的观点。从population and violence are directly related可以推测出B)为正确选项。同时考生也要注意，不要误选A)项．

Many people hope that the whole world will one day speak a common

language. Over the years, people have made up new languages with this aim. At least

six hundred languages have been developed in the search for a language which all

human beings would be able to speak. The most famous one, Esperanto(世界语), was

the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof, a doctor in Warsaw. He published a book about his

new language in 1887. To encourage people to learn the Language, he made it as

simple as possible. Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world

language, but it has been suggested as an auxiliary language. By 1950 it had been

taught to one and a half million speakers,and it was spoken in six hundred schools.

Today Esperanto is spoken by about eight million people, and more than one hundred

newspapers and magazines in the language are published regularly throughout the

world. Thousands of books have been written in Esperanto, including those translated

from other languages. Today the need for a new auxiliary language like Esperanto

seems less obvious. Throughout this century English has grown more and more

important. It has become a second language for many millions of people. The fact that

more are learning English shows that the use of English is still growing worldwide.

No one would deny the usefulness of a world language, but not many people think

that Esperanto is likely to play such a role.

35． Over the years, people have made up new languages in the hope

that______.

A．all people will be able to speak a common language

B．people will learn a foreign language better

C．people can understand each other better

D．people will be able to speak several languages

正确答案：A

解析：推理题。本题为指代题，属于推理题的一种。寻找指代题答案的关键在于理清考查点所在句与前后句之间的逻辑关系。本题难度不大，考生可以轻松定位到文章首段第一、二句，由this aim可知答案出处在第一句，因此答案为A)。

36． Zamenhof made the language as simple as possible because______.

A．he wanted people to learn it quickly

B．he hoped more and more people would be willing to learn it

C．he wanted everyone to speak it without any difficulty

D．he hoped it would be accepted as an official world language

正确答案：B

解析：细节题。本题为原因细节题。这种题目利用because之前的文字，很容易定位答案的出处。同时，根据“原因、目的、结果三位一体”的原则，可以判断答案来自于文章第二段的目的状语Toencourage people to learn the

Language，对其进行改写，则答案为B)。考试中，考生误选A)、C)两个选项的很多，主要是没有严格遵循解题规律所致，希望大家能够注意。

37． Which of the following is NOT true of English?

A．It is widely taught in schools.

B．It has become a second language for many millions of people.

C．Many books have been written in English.

D．It is less popular than Esperanto.

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。本题为细节排除题，答案来自于文章尾段。由本段第一、二句可以得出English比Esperanto重要，答案D)违背原文意思，因此为答案项。

38． What is the best title of the passage?

A．The language made by one man.

B．A talk about the world language.

C．English as a second language for everyone.

D．Esperanto—a better language than English.

正确答案：B

解析：主旨题。本题考查文章的最佳题目，是主旨题的一种，其答案应该具有极强的总结性、概括性。根据文章首句，可知本文话题和世界性语言相关；根据文章末句可知，作者认为Esperanto不大可能成为世界性语言，因此最佳标题应为B)。A)、D)两个选项容易误选，考生需要牢记主旨题答案不可能是文章中的具体事例。

After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake

scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll could have been much

worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an

earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25 000 victims.

Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at

4: 31 a. m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition,

changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have

strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.

Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to

their drawing boards are blueprints for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new

designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.

In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such

as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off

its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to

reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains

as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond

like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the

building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite

direction. The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However,

they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during

earthquake.

39． One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was

comparatively low was that______.

A．new computers had been installed in the buildings

B．it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways

C．large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday

D．improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。本题属于原因细节题。原因题的答案可以利用题干信息确定大体位置，然后利用“原因、目的、结果三位一体”的原则，寻找信号词。本题答案定位在第三段首句，题于中的loss of lives和comparatively low与原文中的Injuries and deaths和relatively less对应，因此答案应该在because之后。又由于下旬的信号词in addition表明上下两句密切相关，因此，答案来自于本段第二句，对其压缩改写得出答案为D)。

40． The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to______.

A．counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the building

B．predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy

C．help strengthen the foundation of the building

D．measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations

正确答案：A

解析：推理题。本题根据computer一词，可将答案定位于第五段末句。答题难点在于能否判断答案中counterbalance一词的含义。“counter-”作为前缀，其含义为“相反”，因此counterbalance一词意思应为“抵消，使平衡”。

41． It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by

earthquakes attention should be focused on______.

A．the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital construction

B．the development of flexible building materials

C．the reduction of the impact of ground vibrations

D．early forecasts of earthquakes

正确答案：C

解析：推理题。本题难度较大。考生可根据题干中的inferred一词判断本题

为推理题，然后利用“推理的最终方向指向文章主题”的原则，判断答案应为文中介绍的新型建筑的特点，因此可将答案定位于第五段第三句中的The most

recent designs，答案为第四句中的respond…to an earthquake’svibrations，该句与第二句中的reduce the impact of ground vibrations为同义复现，因此两处均可改写为答案。A)、B)两项为过去的做法，而且添加了increasing use，development等额外信息，为强干扰项，大家注意体会甄别。D)项文中未提及，因此亦为干扰项。

42． The main purpose of this passage is mostly to______.

A．compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the US

B．encourage civil engineers to make extensive use of computers

C．outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials

D．report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildings

正确答案：D

解析：主旨题。文章前三段介绍洛杉矶1994年的地震造成伤亡较小，第四段用Despite一词引出新信息，表明专家们正在设计更加抗震的建筑。随后两段对这种新型建筑进行更加详细的介绍。因此，文章主题句应为第四段第一、二句，由此可以推出答案为D)。在实际考试中，考生可以利用第四段中的Despite，should及第六段中的However等词，轻松判断出文章主题。

A)The desire to keep the respect of a good name propelled me to become the

first in our family to go to college.B)Shielding children from the knowledge that they

have failed is anything but beneficial to their developmentC)We must waken people

to the importance of environmental protection. Or it will be too late.D)To start with, it

is not only money that he works so hard for. He is committed to educating the young

正确答案： Online Games With the rapid development of modern

science and technology, online games are becoming increasingly available and

popular among young people, especially among college students. This phenomenon

brings a lot of worries to parents and teachers, because many students who have lower

self-discipline are addicted to these games, which has a bad influence on their health

as well as their academic performance. However, there are some people who

argue that online games are not good for nothing. They point out that playing online

games can help the players practice their reaction capacity, which keep them thinking

and responding promptly. In addition, the players can temporarily release themselves

from the great pressure in their work and study and enjoy themselves by playing these

games. As for me, I believe playing online games is not a bad choice for indoor

relaxation and entertainment The only thing we should pay attention to is that we

should have self-control and do not spend too much time on it.

Section B

听力原文： Most summer school courses in Britain last for two to four

weeks. During that time the students live either with a British family, or at the school,

or in a hotel. They have about 15 hours of lessons every Monday to Friday, usually in

the mornings. Each school has a lot of different courses. Some are for beginners and

others are for intermediate or advanced students. The lessons are fun: the classes

are small and the teachers are all from English-speaking countries. But summer

school students don’t just speak English in the classroom. They are in Britain, so they

speak and read and hear it outside, too. That’s why they learn so quickly and why a

summer school course is really a holiday. Only one third of each course is taught in

the classroom. The rest takes place during a busy afternoon and evening timetable of

visits, sports and games. These activities help everyone to make new friends, have fun

and improve their English. Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just

heard.14. What kind of course do summer schools offer?15. Why do summer schools

arrange visits and other activities for the students?16. Why do students in summer

schools learn quickly?

75．

A．Courses in British history.

B．Language courses.

C．Courses in sports.

D．Teacher training courses.

正确答案：B

76．

A．To attract more students.

B．To make the courses suitable for students of all levels.

C．To let the students have a good rest

D．To make a summer school course more like a holiday.

正确答案：D

77．

B．Because their teachers are all native speakers of English.

C．Because they learn not only in but also out of class.

D．Because they are all advanced students.

听力原文： James wrote a play for television about an immigrant family who

came to England from Pakistan and the problems they had settling down in England.

The play was surprisingly successful and it was bought by an American TV company.

James was invited to go to New York to help with the production. He lived in Dulwich,

which is an hour’s drive away from Heathrow airport. The flight was due to leave at

8:30 a. m. , so he had to be at the airport at about 7:30 in the morning. He ordered a

taxi for 6:30, set his alarm for 5: 45 and went to sleep. Unfortunately he forgot to

wind the clock and it stopped shortly after midnight. Also the driver of the taxi had to

work very late that night and overslept. James woke up with that awful feeling that

something was wrong. He looked at his alarm clock. It stood there silently with the

hands pointing to half past twelve. He turned on the radio and discovered it was in

fact ten to nine. Ten minutes later, he heard the news over the radio that Boeing 727

he should have taken crashed shortly after taking off this morning. James turned pale.

He thought he was fortunate that he escaped from that disaster. Questions 17 to 20 are

based on the passage you have just heard.17. What was James?18. Why was James
