听力原文： How to Write a Book Review Good morning, today’s lecture is about how to write a book review. First of all, let me explain to you what a book review is. A book review is a descriptive and critical or evaluative account of a book. Like the book report, it provides a summary of content and an analysis of structure, yet you will also assess the value of a book and recommend the book to other readers. There are two approaches to book reviewing: the descriptive and the critical. A descriptive review is one in which the writer, without over-enthusiasm or exaggeration, gives the essential information about a book. This is done by description and exposition, by stating the perceived aims and purposes of the author, and by quoting striking passages from the text. A critical review is one in which the writer describes and evaluates the book, in terms of accepted literary and historical standards, and supports this evaluation with evidence from the text. The following pointers are meant to be suggestions for writing a critical review. Firstly, basic requirements. Simply stated, the reviewer must know two things in order to write a critical review: the work being reviewed and the requirements of the genre to which the work belongs, such as novel, short story, biography, poetry, etc. Knowledge of the work demands not only an attempt to understand what the author’s purpose is and how the component parts of the work contribute to that purpose, but also some knowledge of the author. And knowledge of the genre means understanding the art form and how it functions. Then, after that we come to what are the minimum essentials of a book review. First is the description of the book, not a summary. Sufficient description should be given so that the reader, as he reads the review, will have some understanding of the author’s thoughts. This account of the contents of a book can often be woven into the critical remarks. Second, something about the author. Biographical information should be relevant to the subject of the review and enhance the reader’s understanding of the work under discussion. Third, an appraisal, preferably indirect, through description and exposition and based on the aims and purposes of the author. While a critical review is a statement of opinion, it must be a

considered judgment including: a statement of the reviewer’s understanding of the author’s purpose; how well the reviewer feels the author’s purpose has been achieved; and evidence to support the reviewer’s judgment of the author’ achievement. When finishing the minimum essential of a book review, we now come to another point: preliminary mechanical steps. Basically speaking, there are five steps. First, read the book with care. Second, note effective passages for quoting. Third, note your impressions as you read. Fourth, allow yourself time to assimilate what you have read so that the book can be seen in perspective. Fifth, keep in mind the need for achieving a single impression, which must be made clear to the reader. After making sure what you want to say in the book review, we can start our review outline. The review outline enables you to get an overall grasp of the organization of the review, to determine what central point your review is going to make, to eliminate inessentials or irrelevancies, and to fill in gaps or omissions. By examining the notes you have made and eliminating those which have no relationship to your central thesis, and by organizing them into groups, several aspects of the book will emerge: such as theme, character, structure, etc. After ordering your topics by determining in what sequence they will be discussed, write down all the major headings of the outline and then fill in the subdivisions. Keep in mind that all parts of the outline should support your thesis or central point. After all this work is done, we come to the draft. The opening paragraph, like the concluding one, is in a position of emphasis and usually sets the tone of the paper. Among the various possible introductions are: a statement of the thesis; a statement of the author’s purpose; a statement about the topicality of the work or its significance; a comparison of the work to others by the same author or within the same genre; a statement about the author. The main body of the review should logically develop your thesis as organized by your outline. Changes in the outline may need to be made and transitional paragraphs introduced, but the aim should be toward logical development of the central point. Quoted material should be put in quotation marks, or indented, and properly footnoted. The concluding paragraph may sum up or restate your thesis or may make the final judgment regarding the book. No new information or ideas should be introduced in the conclusion.Finally, we come to the last steps in writing a book review that is revising your draft. Also there are several steps in revising. First, correct all mistakes in grammar and punctuation as you find them. Second, read your paper through again looking for unity, organization and logical development. Third, verify quotations for accuracy and check the format and content of references. To sum up, in today’s lecture we mainly discuss with you how to write a book review and I hope all I’ve introduced would benefit you to some degree. Practice them and you are very likely to meet with success.

听力原文：Kennedy: I’ve just found the most useful device at the new out-door store--a water purifier.Jackie: A water purifier? You want to carry even more equipment with you on our hiking trip?Kennedy: If it’s light weight and saves work, yes! And this one fits that description.Jackie: Really? I’d bet it takes up a lot of room.Kennedy: Not at all. It’s a straw, much like the one you use to drink a soda water or a milkshake.Jackie: Really? That is small.Kennedy: Yeah, it, s plastic and has a series of mineral and chemical filters that strains harmful microbes from water.Jackie: Yes, but how good a job can it do filtering the germs out of stagnant pond water or water from lakes and streams.Kennedy: It’s fantastic. It makes the water entirely germ-free.Jackie: But what about salt or chemical pollutants that might be in the water? Does it clean those out?Kennedy: No, it doesn’t remove salt and chemicals. But those are really not major concerns when we’re out hiking and camping.Jackie: Mm…How long will a straw last?Kennedy: For about 100 gallons.

Returning from his meeting with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, Gordon Brown came to his new official residency, Number 10 Downing Street, and he promised new priorities. “I have just accepted the invitation of her Majesty the Queen to form a government; this will be a new government with new priorities.” Mr. Brown vowed to reach out beyond what he called narrow party interests. Just hours earlier, his predecessor, Tony Blair made his last appearance in the House of Commons. Mr. Blair opened the session on a sober note, expressing condolences to the families of three British servicemen killed in action. “I am truly sorry about,the dangers they face today in Iraq and Afghanistan. I know some may think they faced these dangers in vain.

PART II READING COMPREHENSION (30 MIN)Directions: In this section there are four reading passages followed by a total of 20 multiple-choice questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

Big Break Grows in Popularity Talk to any parent of a student who took an adventurous gap year (a year between school and university when some students earn money, travel, etc.) and a misty look will come into their eyes. There are some disasters and even the most motivated, organised gap student does require family back-up, financial, emotional and physical. The parental mistiness is not just about the brilliant experience that has matured their offspring; it is vicarious living. We all wish pre-university gap years had been the fashion in our day. We can see how much tougher our kids become; how much more prepared to benefit from university or to decide positively that they are going to do something other than a degree. Gap years are fashionable, as is reflected in the huge growth in the number of charities and private companies offering them. Pictures of Prince William working hard in Chile have helped, but the trend has been gathering steam for a decade. The range of gap packages starts with backpacking, includes working with charities, building hospitals and schools and, very commonly, working as a language assistant, teaching English. With this trend, however, comes a danger. Once parents feel that a well-structured year is essential to their would be undergraduate’s progress to a better university, a good degree, an impressive resume and well paid employment, as the gap companies’ promotional statements suggest it might be, then parents will start organizing—and paying for the gaps. Where there are disasters, according to Richard Oliver, director of the gap companies’ umbrella organization, the Year Out Group, it is usually because of poor planning. That can be the fault of the company or of the student, he says, but the best insurance is thoughtful preparation. “When people get it wrong, it is usually medical or, especially among girls, it is that they have not been away from home before or because expectation does not match reality.” The point of a gap year is that it should be the time when the school leaver gets to do the thing that he or she fancies. Kids don’t mature if mum and dad decide how they are going to mature. If the 18-year-old’s way of maturing is to loaf around on Hampstead Heath soaking up sunshine or spending a year working with fishermen in Cornwall, then that’s what will be productive for that person. The consensus, however, is that some structure is an advantage and that the prime mover needs to be the student. The 18-year-old who was dispatched by his parents at two weeks’ notice to Canada to learn to be a snowboarding instructor at a cost of ￡ 5, 800, probably came back with little more than a hangover. The 18-year-old on the same package who worked for his fare and spent the rest of his year instructing in resorts from New Zealand to Switzerland, and came back to apply for university, is the positive counterbalance.

17． It can be inferred from the first paragraph that parents of gap students

may______.

A．help children to be prepared for disasters

B．receive all kinds of support from their children C．have rich experience in bringing up their offspring D．experience watching children grow up

正确答案：D 解析：本题考查推理引申。第一段论述了经历学业间断年的孩子的父母的感受，包括两个方面：一是由于这个时期的学生需要家庭从经济上、情感上和体力上给予帮助，因此父母可能有帮助孩子成熟起来的美好经历；二是父母间接的感受，即看着孩子们变得更坚强，自己做决定，从而成长。由此可知，[D]项是父母可能经历的。[A]项中出现了原文中的disaster，但含义不同。第一段第二句中指的是“困难，危机”，是下文提到的“孩子需要家庭给予帮助”造成的。[B]项与第一段第二句含义相反。第三句提到，父母有帮助孩子成熟起来的美好经历，而非[C]项中的rich experience经验丰富。 知识模块：阅读

18． According to the text, which of the following is true?

A．The popularity of gap years results from an increasing number of charities. B．Prince William was working hard during his gap year.

C．Gap years are not as fashionable as they were ten years ago. D．A well-structured gap year is a guarantee of university success.

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查事实细节。第二段首句提到，学业间断年现在很时兴，反映在提供它们的慈善团体和私人公司的数目呈巨额增长。[A]项错在将表现归为原因。第二句提到，威廉王子在智利吃苦的事情(对间断年的流行)发挥了作用。由此可推出[B]项正确。第三句提到，(间断年普及的)趋势十年来一直在加强。因此排除[C]项。第二段后半部分谈到“学业间断年的时兴”带来的隐患，即一些父母相信公司的介绍，认为精心安排的间断年对于孩子未来的求学、就业都很重要。因此[D]项是一些公司的宣传及部分家长的错误看法。 知识模块：阅读

19． The word “packages” (Line 6. Para. 2) means______. A．parcels carried in travelling

B．a comprehensive set of activities

C．something presented in a particular way D．charity actions

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查词义。词义的确定依赖上下文。上文中gap一词多次出现，指“学业间断”，下文提到一系列活动，即背包旅行、和慈善团体一起工作、修建医院和学校、做语言助教。因此packages指学业间断期问学生从事的多种活动。[D]项没有包括所有的活动，应选[B]项。 知识模块：阅读

20． What can cause the disasters of gap years?

A．Intervention of parents.

B．Irresponsibility of the companies. C．A lack of insurance. D．Low expectation.

正确答案：A

解析：第二段后半部分论述了随着学业间断年的普及而带来的一个隐患(a danger)，即父母以为好的间断年可以决定孩子未来的求学和就业，因此会主动安排孩子的间断年，甚至出钱。显然，这么做妨碍了孩子的独立成长。[A]项是造成问题的原因。第三段提到出现问题(disasters)的另外一个原因是计划不周，其表现有：健康问题(medical)从未离开过家、期望与现实不符。文中提到公司可能计划不周，[B]中“不负责任”无从推知。文中insurance一词取其比喻义，指“安全、保险的措施”，与[C]项含义有很大出入，排除[C]。文中只提到“期望与现实不符”，中“过低”一词无从推知。 知识模块：阅读

21． An 18-year-old is believed to take a meaningful gap year when he/she______.

A．lives up to his/her parents’ expectations B．spends time being lazy and doing nothing C．learns skills by spending parents’ money

D．earns his or her living and gains working experience

正确答案：D

解析：本题考查推理引申。第四段首句提到，学业间断年的意义在于它应该是离校生开始做自己喜欢做的事情的时候。第四段后面部分进一步进行阐述。由父母来决定孩子怎样成熟，并不能使孩子真正成熟。无所事事的行为也没有收获。行动的安排者应是学生自己。第五段举了两个截然不同的例子，前者遵照父母的安排，后者自食其力。因此，[D]项符合题意。 知识模块：阅读

24． The morpheme “vision” in the common word “television” is a (n) A．bound morpheme. B．bound form.

C．inflectional morpheme. D．free morpheme.

正确答案：D

解析：本题考查语素概念。自由词素(free morpheme)有着完整的语义，故名思意，它们可以作为单词独立使用，如helpful中的help就是自由同素，因为help可以作为独立的单词来使用。它们除了可以作为独立的单词使用以外，自由词素也可以和其它语素相结合构成单词。而bound。morpheme(粘着语素)则不可以作为单词独立使用，例如careful中的-ful。inflectional morpheme是指表示单词曲折变化的语素，例如died中的-d，表示过去时态。 知识模块：人文知识

More people die of tuberculosis(结核病)than of any other disease caused by a single agent. This has probably beenthe case in quite a while. During the early stages of the【M1】______industrial revolution, perhaps one in every seventh deaths in【M2】______Europe’s crowded cities were caused by the disease. From【M3】______now on, though, western eyes, missing the global picture, saw the【M4】______trouble going into decline. With occasional breaks for war, the ratesof death and infection in the Europe and America dropped steadily【M5】______through the 19th and 20th Centuries. In the 1950s,the introduction of antibiotics strengthened the trend in rich countries, and the antibioticswere allowed to be imported to poor countries. Medical researchers【M6】______declared victory and withdrew. They are wrong. In the mid-1980s the frequency of infections【M7】______and deaths started to pick up again around the world. Wheretuberculosis vanished, it came back; in many places where it had【M8】______never been away, it grew better. The World Heath Organization【M9】______estimates that 1.7 billion people(a third of the earth’s population)suffer from tuberculosis. Even when the infection rate was falling, population growth kept the number of clinical cases more or lessconstantly at 8 million a year. Around 3 million of those people【M10】______died, nearly all of them in poor countries.

32． 【M1】

正确答案：in→for

解析：介词误用。这句话的意思是：这种情况可能持续很长一段时间了。动词为完成式has been，后面时间状语应当为一段时间。“for+一段时间”常用于现在完成时中。 知识模块：改错

33． 【M2】

正确答案：seventh→seven

解析：词汇错误。此处“每七例死亡件中就有一例”只能用one in every sevendeaths。 知识模块：改错

34． 【M3】

正确答案：were→was

解析：语法错误。本题考查主谓一致。这句话的主语为“one in every sevendeaths”，表示单数概念，谓语只能用单数。 知识模块：改错

35． 【M4】

正确答案：now→then

解析：语篇错误。根据前一句的时间状语during the early stages of the industrialrevolution，此处时间应表示“工业革命早期之后”，所以不应该是fromnow on“从现在开始”，而应是from then on“自那时起”。 知识模块：改错

36． 【M5】

正确答案：the→去掉the

解析：定冠词错误。定冠词the通常表示特指。Europe是专有名词，前面无需加定冠词。 知识模块：改错

37． 【M6】

正确答案：imported→exported

解析：语篇错误。import“进口，输入”，export“出口，输出”。根据本句大意，进出口的对象为发达国家生产的抗菌素，显然只能是“出口”到贫困国家。此外，根据介词也可以判断，import常与介词from搭配，与to搭配的动词为export。 知识模块：改错

38． 【M7】

正确答案：are→were

解析：语法错误。因为事情发生在过去，所以只能用一般过去时。 知识模块：改错

39． 【M8】

正确答案：∧vanished→had

解析：语法错误。这句话的意思是：结核病在已经绝迹的地方又卷土重来。从句谓语动词发生在主句谓语动词came之前，故用过去完成时。 知识模块：改错

40． 【M9】

正确答案：better→worse

解析：语篇错误。这句话的意思是：在结核病从来没有灭绝过的地方，情况变得更——。根据上下文，只可能是变得更糟。 知识模块：改错

41． 【M10】

正确答案：constantly→constant

解析：词汇错误。本句大意是：尽管感染率下降，但人口的增长却使每年的求医人数稳定在800万左右。keep sth．+adj．表示“使……保持……”．故将副词改为形容词，constant作宾语补足语。 知识模块：改错

PART V TRANSLATION (60 MIN)

SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHDirections: Translate the following text into English.

42． 那时河里热闹极了：船大半泊着，小半在水上穿梭似的来往。停泊着的都在近市的那一边，我们的船自然也夹在其中。因为这边略略的挤，便觉得那边十分的疏了。在每一只船从那边过去时，我们能画出它的轻轻的影和曲曲的波，在我们的心上；这显示着是空，且显着是静了。那时处处都是歌声和凄厉的胡琴声，圆润的歌喉，确乎是很少的。但那生涩的，尖脆的调子能使人有少年的，粗率不拘的感觉，也正可快我们的意。况且多少隔开些儿听着，因为想象与渴慕的作美，总觉得更有滋味；而竞发的喧嚣，抑扬的不齐，远近的杂沓，和乐器的嘈嘈切切，合成另一意味的谐音，也使我们无所适从，如随着大风而走。这实在因为我们的心枯涩已久了，变为脆弱：故偶然润泽一下，便疯狂似的不能自主了。

正确答案： The river was bustling with activity just then. Most boats were lying at anchor, while the rest were pulling to and fro, the former on the city side, ours naturally among them. The crowd on our side made the other side look deserted, and we could make out the reflected contour of each boat that passed there, which gave us a sense of space and quiet. Songs accompanied by shrilling fiddles were heard here and there, only a few of them sung sweetly or melodiously, but the sharp, shrill notes gave us an impression of careless and unrestrained youth, and that was exactly what we had come for. Besides, it is always better to listen to singing from a distance, because what you imagine and yearn for is the more beautiful. The hubbub of voices, the noises rising and falling far and near and the notes of different instruments formed another sort of harmony which left us completely at a loss of we had been carried away by a gust of wind. Truth to tell, this was because our hearts, long dry and fragile, were ready to be crazed despite themselves by a fortuitous moisture.

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESEDirections: Translate the following text into Chinese.

43． Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new Nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now, we are engaged in a great Civil War, testing whether that Nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who gave their lives that Nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can

never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that this Nation, under GOD, shell have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the People by the People and for the People shall not perish from the earth.

正确答案：87年前，我们的先辈们在这块大陆上创立了一个新国家，它孕育于自由之中，奉行一切人生来平等的原则。现在我们正进行一场伟大的内战，以考验这个国家，或者任何一个孕育于自由和奉行上述原则的国家是否能够长久存在下去。我们在这场战争中的一个伟大战场上集会。烈士们为使这个国家能够生存下去而献出了自己的生命，我们来到这里，是要把这个战场的一部分奉献给他们作为最后安息之所。我们这样做是完全应该而且是非常恰当的。 但是，从更广泛的意义上来说，我们不能够奉献，不能够圣化，也不能够神化这块土地。那些曾在这里战斗过的勇士们，活着的和去世的，已经把这块土地圣化了，这远不是我们微薄的力量所能增减的。我们今天在这里所说的话，世人不太会注意，也不会长久地记住，但勇士们的英雄业绩．世人却永远不会忘记。
