Conversation One

W: Mr.Stern, may I ask you? Do you think it was necessary and fair to arrest Steve Bril?

W: But Mr.Stern, this situation has been going on happily for five years. Why do you suddenly decide to do something about it?

M: Well,at first, we just thought he was an eccentric person,a bit odd, you know. (20)But over the years we came to realise that he is a dangerous guy. He has been ruining our city environment. Parks are to look at,not to eat. It's just as if you're going to allow people to walk through a zoo, and eat the baby bears.

W: (21)But surely you or your park keepers, Mr. Stern,could have discourged Mr.Bril from his activity without going such drastic measures, without arresting him.

M: Steve is a nice fellow, but what he is doing is illegal. He knows an awful lot about wild weeds. (22)We 'll be very happy to let him org1nise tours if he just wouldn't eat the plants and wouldn't encourage other people to do so, too. You never know what this could lead to, all sorts of people ruining our park in all sorts of ways. This kind of thing is very definitely criminal behaviour and must be stopped.

M: He will be going to a comprehensive school,I suppose. W: We have the choice of three comprehensive schools. M: Really? It's unusual to have so many to choose from.

W: Well, yes. Parter school seems to have done all right. We're er.. urn„ There're certain criticisms about it, but on the whole, we are not too dissatisfied.

M: Well, generally speaking, what do you think one considers when one is trying to choose? (25)Well, I don't know if one can really choose one school actually you tend to. Children go where they're sent.

W: (25)You can't er...um„very easilyunless you are very rich and can afford to choose a private school. And since we're not very rich, we've got all three children

to consider. We can't do that. So they go to the local comprehensive school.(25) What really matters is,you know, the quality of the staff, the size of the school. I think the size of the school has a lot to do with it.

Years ago, when I was a young assistant professor at the Harvard Business School, I thought that the key to developing managerial leadership lay in raw brain power. (26)I thought the role of business schools was to develop future managers who knew all about the verious functions of business. (27)My thinking gradually became tempered by living and working outside the United States and by serving seven years as a college president. During my presidency of Babson College, I added several traits or skills that I felt a good manager must possess. The first is the ability to express oneself in a clear, articulate fashion. Good oral and written communication skills are absolutely essential if one is to be an effective manager. Second,one must possess the required set of qualities called leadership skills. To be a good leader, one must understand and be sensitive to people and be able to inspire them toward the achievement of common goals. Next,I concluded that effective managers must be broad human beings who not only understand the world of business but also have a sense of the cultural, social, political, historical,and the international aspects of life and society. (28)This suggests that exposure to the liberal arts and humanities should be part of every manager's education. (29)Finally, as I pondered the business and government-related scandals that haye occupied the front pages of newspapers,it became clear that a good manager in today's world must have courage and a strong sense. of integrity.He must know where to draw the line between right and wrong.

26. What did the speaker use to think business schools should do to produce managers? 答案:D)

27. What might change the speaker's viewpoint? 答案:C)

28. What does the speaker stress as part of manager's education? 答案:B) 29. What convinced the speaker that managers need a sense of integrity? 答案:A)

Passage Two

With top colleges charging as much as$50 000 per year,(30) the idea that students may spend their first two years learning next-to-nothing is enough to make parents pause. How can you make that investment worthwhile? And does going to college really make you smarter? It depends on what you study and whether you study enough. A discussion at The New York Times this week tackled the issue, with several academics weighing in on whether college is worthwhile, and whether schools are dumbing down their curricula to appeal to more people. In their new book, Academically Adrift,(31)sociologists Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa found that 32 percent of the students they followed did not take “any courses with more than 40 pages of reading per week” in a typical semester, and half of the students didn't take “any courses in which they had to write more than 20 pages for the class”.Using these criteria, they determined that 45 percent of college students make little academic progress during the first two years of a four- year degree. Their research raises a few red flags. On the one hand, is it any suprise that a public school system forced to “teach to the test” produces large numbers of students who are unwilling to think analytically, learn on their own, or write a research paper? On the other, does the number of pages read plus the number of pages written equals an accurate assessment of academic progress? (32)A literature or history major,for instance,would have far more reading to do than a math major, but the math workload isn't lighter lifting just because it involves reading fewer pages per week.

30. Why do parents hesitate to pay for their kids' college education according to the speaker? 答案:C)

31. What does the survey by the two sociologists show about the students? 答案:B)

32. What does the speaker imply about the research by the two sociologists? 答案:D)

Passage Three

(35)Entertaining a close circle of friends isn't usuall difficult.You all know each other so there's no problem about conversation. And even if the food is a bit sketchy, no one really minds because they've come to see you, not a free meal. Well,most of them anyway. (33)It's the guests you don't know very well who present unexpectable traps. Therefore, in such categories, as the new husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend of an intimate friend,the business acquaintances who may be useful to your career, worst of all,the totally unpredictable friend of a friend, my advice in such eases is if you're

an indifferent cook,don't do any cooking. It's far better to stick to coffee and drinks, with a few expensive biscuits on the side. You can always plead that your flat is too small for more than two to eat comfortably, that you get home too late to prepare a decent meal, that your oven is on the blink. Any reasonable excuses will do, even it's not believed.(34)If you fancy yourself as a cook,and are anxious to make a 'good impression,do your homework first. Nothing is more discouraging than to spend hours preparing a delicious meat dish followed by, say, fresh strawberries, only to discover that your first-time guest is a strict vegetarian or is on a slimming diet. This may result in the rest of you tucking into a vast meal while your guest toys suspiciously with a few sides of tomato. “No, thank you, I won't have any creamed carrots out for my waist line.”

33. What kind of guest is most likely to give you a hard time according to the speaker?答案:D)

34. What should you do before preparing a meal for your guests? 答案:A) 35. What is the speaker mainly talking about? 答案:B) Section C 36.estimated 37.Approximately 38.genetic 39.mobility 40.accidental 41.percentage 42.injury 43.perished

44. people with di expect to have such basic needs as food,shelter and medical treatment met

45. In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to combat these violations of civil rights

46. Congress responded by passing major legislation, recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class

constructed“建造,构造”为及物动词;collaborated with“与„„合作”,后常跟人;coordinated with“使协调,配合”。

79.C)【精析】固定搭配题。本题考查名词性从句中的同位语从句。evidence后的从句说明的是其具体内容,不缺句子成分,故用that引导同位语从句

80.D)【精析】动词辨析题。根据句意,积极的社交网络可以减少压力,促进健康。foster“培养,促进” 符合句意。elevate“(身份、地位的)提升;(血压、情绪的)升高”;inject“注人,增添”,一般和into 搭配使用;propel“促进,激励”,一般指“促进人或事的发展”,不能和health搭配,故排除。

81.B)【精析】固定搭配题。be exposed to为固定搭配,意为“完全暴露于,使接触”,符合句意。at, toward, under不与exposed搭配,故排除。

82. No matter how/However powerful China becomes 【考点】①让步状语从句 ②常用表达

【精析】①no matter+疑问词“结构只能引导让步状语从句,这时可以和”疑问副词十一ever”互换,如wherever/whenever/however;② “ no matter+疑问词”引导的从句往往用一般现在时或一般过去时;③形容国家“强大”一般用powerful。

83. but on diligence and persistence 【考点】①固定搭配 ②常用表达

【精析】①not„but„意为“不是„„而是„„”,在not„but„并列结构中,but后的结构需要和not后的结构保持一致,故on不能省略;②“勤奋,勤劳”,般用diligence来表示,“坚持,执着”用persistence来表示;persistence和insistence虽然都可以表示“坚持”,但前者表示“坚持做某事”,后者表示“坚持某种观点、主张”,因此这里用persistence更为合适。

84. If Only they were here now 【考点】①if only的用法 ②虚拟语气

【精析】①if only意为“但愿„„;要是„„该多好”, 是if的一种强化形式,常用来表达强烈的愿望或遗憾,因而其引导的从句常使用虚拟语气;②条件从句中,对现在情况的虚拟应使用一般过去式。

85. has been donating a large sum of money to charity 【考点】①现在完成进行时 ②常用表达 ③固定搭配

【精析】①由时间状语in recent years以及“捐了”可知,空格处所填内容应使用现在完成进行时,表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在的动作;②“向„„捐赠„„”可用donate„to„来表示;③money为不可数名词,可与其搭配使用的量词有a large sum of/a large amount of/plenty of。

86. would be forced to seek shelter from the sun 【考点】①虚拟语气 ②常用表达

【精析】①without引导的虚拟语气,表示与现在事实相反时,谓语动词应使用

night/would/could (not) do sth.;②“藏身处”可用shelter来表示,seek shelter from sth.意为“寻求躲避„„的场所”;③“被迫做某事”可翻译为be forced to do sth.。
