填空题____

第1题：

填空题

____

正确答案： J

解析：
steps。考点:名词。steps台阶。联系实际，在火车站站台的边缘，都画有黄色警示线。故选J项。

第2题：

填空题

____

正确答案： I

解析：
suggest。考点:动词。因为前面有“evidence(证据)”，所以imply不符合，故选D项最合适。

第3题：

填空题

____

正确答案： F

解析：
comprehensive。考点:形容词。由于后面出现了单词all，结合选项，只有comprehensive“综合的；全面的”意思上可以与all相呼应。句意为：他们还查看了2004年的资料，以得到192个国家的全面信息。

第4题：

单选题

Doctors are often caught in a _____ because they have to decide whether they should tell their patients the truth or not.

A

puzzle

B

perplexity

C

dilemma

D

bewilderment

正确答案： B

解析：
句意：医生经常感到左右为难. 因为他们不得不决定是否应该把实情告诉病人。dilemma进退两难的局面。“不得不决定是否应该把实情告诉病人”，表明处于一种左右为难的境遇，因此C符合语境。puzzle难题，迷，强调由于难以理解或解决某事而引起的迷惑。perplexity困惑，混乱，强调由疑问而引起的困惑。bewilderment慌张，迷惑强调慌乱、手足无措。

第5题：

单选题

Ann was reading a piece of science fiction, completely _____ to the outside world.

A

lost

B

being lost

C

losing

D

having lost

正确答案： A

解析：
句意：Ann正读一本科幻小说，完全忘记了外部世界。be lost in/to sth表达的是一种现实状态，用一般现在时，不用进行时态，意为“不再受某事的影响；将某事置之度外”。句中已有谓语动词was，那么lost应以非谓语形式出现，不应再加being或having。

第6题：

单选题

Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A

Mrs. Orr’s, a Professional Cook.

B

A “Stubborn” Cake with Generations.

C

My Stubborn Father.

D

My Improved Cooking Skill.

正确答案： D

解析：
主旨题。根据全文内容可知，本文主要讲述“一块难以改变的蛋糕”维系了奶奶、父亲、母亲以及作者三代人之间感情的故事，同时表达了作者对父亲的怀念，并且通过上题的分析可知，stubborn是父亲的性格之一，原文中也曾将父亲比作朴实无华的蛋糕，因此，B选项的说法颇含深意，用了一个隐喻（metaphor）来诠释本文的主旨，全面、准确，因此本题的正确答案出的为B。本文讲述的不是一个厨师的生平，故排除A选项。本文主要讲述的是几代人之间因为蛋糕而产生的感情，而不是为了突出父亲顽固的性格，故C选项不全面、不准确，可排除。而D选项“我提升了的厨艺”只是本文描述的一小部分，不能概括全文内容，也可排除。

第7题：

单选题

Many countries have adopted systems of _____ education in order to promote the average level of education.

A

constrained

B

compulsory

C

cardinal

D

conventional

正确答案： B

解析：
句意：许多国家采用了义务教育制度，以提高教育的平均水平。compulsory义务的，强制性的，compulsory education表示“义务教育”，也是习惯搭配。因此B为正确答案。constrained被强迫的，强调“声音、态度方面的情形”，但不和education搭配。cardinal最主要的，最基本的，与education搭配也不表示“基础教育”，基础教育的正确的表达是elementary education。conventional惯例的，传统的，虽然可以修饰education，但却无法解释句中in order to后面的原因。

第8题：

单选题

Theoretically, a good screwdriver should last a lifetime, but it rarely _____, usually because it is used at one time or another as a substitute for some other tool.

A

has

B

is

C

should

D

does

正确答案： C

解析：
句意：理论上讲，一把好的螺丝刀能用一辈子，但事实并非如此，因为它通常时不时地被当作其他工具使用。句子本来是it rarely last…为避免重复，应使用助动词does来替代动词last。

第9题：

单选题

Which of the following italicized phrases indicates CAUSE?

A

Why don’t you do it for the sake of your friends?

B

I wish I could write as well as you.

C

For all his efforts, he didn’t get an A.

D

Her eyes were red from excessive reading.

正确答案： D

解析：
考查原因状语。A选项中的for the sake of是句子的目的状语；B选项中的as well as you是比较状语；C选项中的For all his efforts是该句的让步状语；D选项中的斜体部分from excessive reading在该句中做原因状语，表示原因；故选D。

第10题：

问答题

What does the ‘unwanted’ deep sea life mean in Paragraph 2 according to the passage?

正确答案： They have no economic value.

解析：
词义理解题。像乌贼、海胆、海星等一些海洋生物由于没有经济价值因此它们不是渔民捕捞的对象，是渔民不需要的东西，所以正确答案是“They have no economic value”。

第11题：

单选题

The author’s experiences during the childhood indicate all of the following EXCEPT that _____.

A

the author is the first child of the family

B

his family led a very hard life

C

his mother gave less attention to him

D

his mother treated him as more than an assistant

正确答案： C

解析：
推理题。注意本题的关键词EXCEPT。根据题干定位至原文第四段。由本段第二句可以看出，作者是家里最年长的，A选项的说法正确，不选。从第三句母亲肩上的担子很重可以推断出家里生活艰难，B选项的说法也正确，不选。该段的第五、六句指出，作者渴望得到母亲的关心，并在第七句中进一步指出他需要了解到母亲不仅仅把他当作一个帮手和持家的小顶梁柱，他需要得到母亲的爱，但从后文得知，他并未得到这个，也可以说，在母亲眼里作者仅仅是一个维持生计的帮手，由此便可知C选项的说法正确而D选项的说法错误。本题为反选题，故正确答案为D。

第12题：

单选题

A

From annoyed to appreciative.

B

From frustrated to excite.

C

From surprised to frustrate.

D

From appreciative to surprise.

正确答案： C

解析：
从录音中可知，刚开始学生因为钱未到账并且无人通知其特殊情况而感到恼火，最后在秘书的帮助下解决了问题，并且表示感谢。故答案为A项。
【录音原文】
M: Hi. Miss Andrics.
W: Hi Bret, how are you?
M: I’m fine; except I have a question about my paycheck.
W: What’ up?
M: Well it’s already been several weeks since the end of the semester. My check was supposed to go directly into my bank account, but there haven’t been any deposits.
W: That’s odd. Did you complete all the forms for the payroll?
M: I filled in whatever they sent me, and I returned it at the end of August
W: Hum, well, you definitely should have been paid by now. At least two pay periods have passed since then.
M: I asked the bank and they didn’t know anything. Who should I talk to about lifts payroll?
W: I’m going to contact them for you. There was a problem in processing some of the graduate students’ payroll paper work. ‘Cause their computer program crashed after all the information was processed. And some people’s information couldn’t be retrieved.
M: Hum. But why didn’t any one let me know?
W: I don’t know how they work over there, ‘cause they couldn’t even figure out whose information was missing. And this isn’t the first time, seems like this happens every semester.
M: So how do I find out if my information was lost?
W: I will contact them tomorrow morning to see if you’re in the system. But you’re probably not.
M: What should I do?
W: Sorry, but you will need to fill out those forms again and then I will fax them over the payroll office.
M: Well, what I really need to know is when I will get the money. I’m already a month behind my bills and my tuition’s due soon.
W: That’ll get you into the system the same day they receive your paper works. So if you do that tomorrow, you’ll get paid next Friday.
M: That’s a long time from now. Will that pay checking include all the money I am owed?
W: Yes, I will double check with the payroll department.
M: And another thing. Is there any way I could get paid sooner? I have been teaching all these weeks…
W: I know that’s not fair, but I don’t think they can do anything; all the checks are computed automatically in the system. They can’t just write cheeks.
M: But there is another one to make mistakes. They’ve never told me!
W: I understand how you feel and if I were you, I’d be upset too. I’ll tell you what: when I call them, I will explain the situation and ask them if there is any way you can be paid sooner. But I have to tell you that based on past experiences you shouldn’t count on it.
M: (Sigh) I understand, thanks. I know it’s’ not your fault and that you’re doing everything you can.
W: Well, what I can do is make sure that your first check for total amount the university owes you.
M: That’ll be great! Thank you. I will be en campus at 10 tomorrow morning and I will come back to see you then.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation.
Q1. What is the student’s problem?
Q2. What happened at the payroll department?
Q3. What does the woman imply about the people who work in the payroll office?
Q4. What will the student probably need to do to get paid?
Q5. How does the student’s attitude change during the conversation?

第13题：

填空题

____

正确答案： self-discipline/self-control

解析：
本讲座主要谈论的是自律(self-discipline)，录音中提到缺乏自律能力会引起一些问题。故答案为self-discipline或self-control。

第14题：

填空题

____

正确答案： N

解析：
particular。考点:形容词。空格修饰后面的instances，故应填入形容词。上半句讲到general manner，这里与之相对应，所以应选N项particular。

第15题：

单选题

_____ I would like to stay. I really must go home.

A

Much as

B

In spite of

C

Despite

D

as

正确答案： C

解析：
句意：尽管我很想留在这里，但我真的要回家了。in spite of和despite后面只可接名词或名词词组，在这里可先排除。as引导的让步状语从句，与其连用的名词、形容词或副词要提前，构成倒装结构。因此A为正确选项。

第16题：

单选题

The author most probably agrees that artificial sweetened gum _____

A

is not effective in reducing stress.

B

may cause some health problems.

C

should be avoided although it is healthful.

D

is harmful for one’s health due to its sugar containing.

正确答案： D

解析：
由题干关键词artificial sweetened gum定位到第六段第二句“(Avoid artificial sweetened gum, though—some are linked to health issues.)”，由括号里面的some are linked to health issues可知嚼人造加糖，香糖会引起健康问题，B与此内容最为相近，故本题应选B。

第17题：

单选题

A

Ask their professor for advice.

B

Meet again to discuss their research.

C

Interview people who survived the flu.

D

Change the topic of their oral report.

正确答案： B

解析：
结尾处女士提议“Why don’t we meet again and talk about what we have”，男士对这个提议表示赞同，所以可以推断他们还会针对他们的调查再开一次会，所以本题选B。
【录音原文】
W: OK, so we’re going to look at the influenza epidemic of 1918 and, uh, probably its effects, like how many people got the flu.
M: The numbers should be fairly easy to find.
W: Actually, I have some numbers already. Let me see… OK. From spring 1918 to winter 1919. 25 percent of Americans—one out of every four people—contracted the flu…and about 3 percent of the people who got the flu died from it.
M: Wow. One—fourth of the population got sick. That’s a lot. It must’ve had a pretty bad effect on the workforce and productivity. Imagine if one-fourth of the people didn’t show up for work. Doctors and hospitals must have been overwhelmed.
W: Here’s some more interesting numbers：675.000 Americans died from influenza, but only 116,000 died in World War I. That means that the war killed only about…what…about one-sixth of the people who died of the flu.
M: I wonder how the flu statistics compare with the statistics for other major epidemics, you know, like AIDS and tuberculosis…or other flu epidemics. I think there were other flu epidemics later, after 1918.
W: Hmm, I don’t know, but I’ll try to find out. That might be good to include in our report.
M: So, we call talk about the flu and its effects on society and the economy, you know, and…uh compare it to other epidemics. What else should we do?
W: I think we should tell stories about its effects on real people. My great-grandfather could remember the flu epidemic. He was born in 1910, so he was eight years old at the time. He remembered that there were a lot of funerals. His baby sister and his best friend died of the flu, and that made an impression on him.
M: Wow. Did your great-grandfather get the flu?
W: You know, I’m not really sure…he never said if he got sick. Well, I mean, if he did, he survived it and lived to be 91.
M: You could tell the story about your great-grandfather. You know…that might be a great way to start our presentation.
W: Yeah? Maybe. It might get our audience’s attention.
M: I think we should also talk about the connection between the flu and World War I. That was the first global war, and it was the first global epidemic in recorded history. I’ve done some reading about that. What I found out was, it was the army that first noticed large numbers of men getting sick, and it was the army that first started reporting statistics about how many people were affected. You can imagine how fast influenza spread among soldiers living in close quarters, and travelling to other countries.
W: Wow. OK…ah…we’ve got some pretty good ideas. I like what you’re saying about focusing on the war and the global aspects.
M: I’ll do a little more research and see what else I can find.
W: Good. I will, too. I’ll look for stuff about other epidemics. Why don’t we meet again and talk about what we have? Can you meet again on Thursday?
M: Uh…yeah, sure, that’s fine with me.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation.
Q1. What are the students mainly discussing?
Q2. Why does the woman mention her great-grandfather?
Q3. According to the man, what group first reported large numbers of influenza cases?
Q4. What information will the students probably include in their report?
Q5. What do the students agree to do?

第18题：

单选题

_____ had she finished the poem _____ the students began to ask her questions.

A

As soon as, than

B

No sooner, than

C

As soon as, when

D

No sooner, when

正确答案： A

解析：
句意：她刚念完诗，学生便开始提问。本题考查“一……就……”的用法。no sooner…than和hardly…when是表达此意的两个固定搭配。

第19题：

单选题

For many patients, institutional care is the most _____ and beneficial form of care.

A

pertinent

B

appropriate

C

acute

D

persistent

正确答案： D

解析：
句意：对许多病人来说，福利机构的照顾是最合适并且是最有益的一种护理方式。and决定了其前后应该是相同或相近的词，所以只有appropriate（适当的，合适的）可以和beneficial（有益的）相并列，因此B为正确答案。pertinent相关的，相干的，中肯的。acute敏锐的，急性的。persistent持久稳固的。

第20题：

单选题

To ensure maximal voter participation in a presidential election, thorough planning and a voter registration _____ are usually required.

A

restriction

B

encouragement

C

investigation

D

drive

正确答案： B

解析：
句意：为了保证公众最大程度地参与总统选举，周密的计划和选民注册运动是必需的。drive表示“有组织的运动”，能与a voter registration搭配使用，并与thorough planning之间形成结构上的并列关系。因此D为正确答案。restriction限制，约束，若用在该句中显然不合逻辑，不应“对选民注册登记进行限制”。encouragement鼓励，激励，不能与a voter registration搭配使用。investigation调查，研究，常表示对某事进行调查或考查工作，也不符合题意。

第21题：

单选题

From Ross Perlin’s new book “Intern Nation”, we can learn that _____

A

competition for internships is intense.

B

interns are usually looked down upon.

C

one third of interns work for for-profit companies.

D

internships are least valued by for-profit companies.

正确答案： C

解析：
根据题干关键词Ross Prelim可将本题的答案定位到第三段第一句“Organizations in America save…”。本题考查对该句中highly competitive race to the bottom of the corporate ladder的理解，the bottom of the corporate ladder此处指“实习生岗位”而非其字面意思“职业阶梯的最底层”。根据该句可知Ross Perlin认为“实习生岗位”的竞争也很激烈，所以本题应选A。

第22题：

单选题

A

To be a book editor.

B

To produce a film.

C

To write a book.

D

To be an actress.

正确答案： A

解析：
根据…one of my dreams was to be a writer to write a novel that would become a best seller and a one in the world winning film.可知，Tina希望将来能写出畅销书并被拍成电影。
【录音原文】
M: Tina White, some people describe you as the best magazine editor in the world and you are only in your 30s. Can you tell us how you started your amazing career?
W: Well, when I was 20, still at college, I was asked to write a weekly column for a local paper. The paper wanted me to write about famous people, you know, their wonderful life styles, the sort of thing people like to read about. Instead, what I did was to concentrate on people who the general public didn’t know about, but who had something original to say.
M: And you got away with it? Now, in the early stages, your family was important. How far did they influence your career choice?
W: My father was a film producer and my childhood was spent around international actors and directors. So with such influences I should have become an actress, something my father would have loved. But I chose to be a journalist in spite of my family’s wishes. I think the biggest influence was my school, not so much the people, but the materials that gave me access to. The hours and hours spent in the library.
M: From being a journalist, you then went on to become an editor, I understand the first magazine you edited Female Focus wasn’t much of a success.
W: Well, I was the editor for a year and then I resigned, mainly because of disagreements with the owners. They were reluctant to change things, because they had faith that it would eventually make a profit. But when you think of it, the magazine had been losing millions of pounds a year before I became its editor. When I left, it was still losing money, but nothing like as much as previously. Also when I took over, it was selling around 650, 000 copies, that soon increased to 800, 000, so it was seriously all improvement.
M: And now you are editing Woman’s World and you’ve made the best selling woman magazine ever. How do you make people want to read it?
W: For some of my competitors, the most important point is what you put on the cover of your magazine, but they forget faithful readers look beyond that. The real challenge is how you encourage a reader to read a serious piece, how are we going to make an article that people want to read. You have to get their attention and nothing does that better than a very lively, even shocking opening.
M: It is said that you work very hard because you don’t trust your employees.
W: That was the case 5 years ago, when I was first appointed, it almost drove me mad. I knew I had the right ideas, for example, but I wasn’t able to carry them out because I didn’t have the brilliant writers I have now, or the fight staff to read our material when it came in. I had to read everything about 6 times and that was awful. It took me 4 years to put together the team I wanted and it would be very unfair to say I don’t trust them.
M: Do you sometimes worry that you might lose your fame and wealth?
W: Yes. When you work as an editor, you are praised today and criticized tomorrow. Of course it would be difficult to live without all the, well, material comforts I’m used to. But a smaller income is something I think I can cope with. It wouldn’t be the end of the world. Much more serious would be if the people I work with no longer admire my work and most of all, I wanted to stay that way.
M: What about the future?
W: Well. People often think I’ve planned my career very carefully. But in fact lots of things have happened by chance, lots of opportunities have come my way. As a youngster, one of my dreams was to be a writer to write a novel that would become a best seller and a one in the world winning film. Well, it may seem silly, but I still hope that will happen one day.
M: Tina, thank you very much for joining us today.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation.
Q1. What kind of people did Tina choose to write about in her first column?
Q2. Why did she take up journalism?
Q3. What happened to the magazine Female Focus under her management?
Q4. What kind of article does Tina believe people are more likely to read?
Q5. What would Tina like to do in the future?

第23题：

填空题

____

正确答案： E

解析：
in。考点:介词。experiment in sth. 进行……实验；experiment on sth. 对……进行实验。这里讲的是“对于教黑猩猩与人类进行成功交流进行试验”，应选E项。

第24题：

单选题

Ninety-five per cent of its magnificent collection will remain _____ to the public.

A

incredible

B

infectious

C

incompatible

D

inaccessible

正确答案： D

解析：
句意：那里95%的高档藏品都不对公众开放。inaccessible“难接近的；难见到的”用在本题，表示公众难以见到。incredible不可相信的；难以置信的。infectious传染的；有感染力的。incompatible合不来的；不相配的。
