听力原文: Mr. Smith was a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with life. He did not sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time. Finally, after several sleepless nights, he decided to go to see his doctor. The doctor advised him to go abroad to change condition. But Mr. Smith was afraid that he was not good at foreign language. The doctor told him that he could talk a little less and gave him four pieces of advice: go on a voyage, take plenty of exercise, try to re- duce his weight and avoid rich food. Mr. Smith went to French. But he did not know French, and had to communicate through body movements. He joined in a physical training course. The teacher made him shake his knees, his arms, his neck and his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs. After a time his body grew hard and firm. He forgot his company and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice the green trees and the lovely birds. Finally he returned home. But unfortunately his improvement was only temporary. Soon he was a normal business man again, worried about his company, his savings, his advancement in a technological society,and things in general.

单项填空
27. --What about having a drink? --______. A.Good idea B.Help yourself C.Go ahead, please. D.Me, too
正确答案:A 解析:第一个人提出建议,征求对方意见。恰当的回答应是[A]“Good idea”,表示欣然同意。[B]项常用于席间劝吃喝;[C]项用于鼓励或允许某人做某事;[D]“我也一样”。 知识模块:情景交际
28. I thought her nice and honest ______ I met her. A.first time
B.for the first time C.the first time D.by the first time
正确答案:C
解析:句意为“我第一次见到她就认为她善良而诚实。”空格处需填入连接词,四个选项中只有[C]the first time可充当连词。the first time I met her相当于时间状语从句when I first met her。for the first time“作为第一次”,只作状语,不能连接句子。
29. --What has happened? --I got injured in a car accident. --I suppose you ______ too fast.
A.were driving B.had driven
C.had been driving D.have driven
正确答案:A
解析:根据上下文语境,我猜你那时“正在”开快车吧。此题易选[B]项,过去完成时强调的是在过去某个动作或时间之前已经发生或完成了的动作,不符合逻辑。
30. I’m sorry to ______ too much of your time. A.take off
B.have taken in C.take on
D.have taken up
正确答案:D
解析:根据句意,应是对已经发生的(占用你太多时间)事表示歉意,故用完成式。从词义上take up有“占时间、空间”之意,故选[D]。take off,“(飞机等)起飞”;take in,“欺骗”;take on,“决定做某事”。
31. We must keep our room clean. Dirt and disease go ______ , you know. A.from time to time B.hand in hand C.step by step
D.one after another
正确答案:B
解析:根据句意,“肮脏与疾病形影不离”,应选hand in hand“手挽手地,连在一起”。 from time to time“时不时地”;step by step“一步步地”;one after another“一个接一个地”。
32. At first they worried about the situation but things ______ quite satisfactory. A.went on B.carried on C.worked out D.tried out
正确答案:C
解析:work out“进展。进行”,表示结果,常与well,badly,satisfactory等词连用。go on表示“进行”时强调过程,如:What’s going on there?(那里发生了什么事?);carry on“继续,从事”,try out“试验”,均不符合题意。
33. He sent me an E-mail, ______ to get further information. A.hope B.hoping C.to hope D.hoped
正确答案:B
解析:句意为“他给我发了一封E-mail,希望能得到进一步的信息。”“希望能得到进一步的信息”是发电子邮件时伴随的心理状态,又与主语He是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词hoping。
34. The money spent on a college student ______ up to about 7,000-8,000 Yuan a year.
A.pays B.costs C.adds D.uses
正确答案:C
解析:句意为“一年花在一个大学生身上的钱大约在七到八千元之间。”同为“花(费)”, pay的主语是人,而cost的主语为物,但不能是“钱”,故排除[A]、[B];[D]则项use和主语之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,应用被动语态;add up to为固定词组,表示“加起来等于,总计为”。
35. He got angry with ______ was against his opinion. A.whom B.who C.whoever D.anyone
正确答案:C
解析:分析句子结构,可看出空格处需要填入一个引导with后的宾语从句且在从句中作主语的连接词,因此首先排除[A]、[D]两项;[B]项who引导名词从句时含有疑问的意思,如:I don’t know who have taken my umbrella.(我不知道是谁误拿了我的伞)。[C]项, whoever=anyone who,句意为“无论谁反对他,他都会生气。”
36. It sounded ______ down the rail. A.as a train running B.like a train to run C.like a train running D.as if a train running
正确答案:C
解析:sound作连系动词用,后面可接as if引导的从句,但[D]项不是句子,running前少了was;还可接like+名词或动名词。[C]项可看成like后接动名词running的复合结构。
37. Parents are advised to take pressure ______ a child and give him some
encouragement before an exam.
A.off B.out C.away D.over
正确答案:A
解析:根据句意“建议考前家长给孩子减压并对其进行鼓励。”此题易选[C]项away,但其后面缺少与宾语相连接的介词from,此处off=away from。
38. The wrong you’ve done her is terrible, for ______ you should say sorry to her, I think.
A.this B.which C.what D.that
正确答案:B
解析:理解句意是解出此题的关键所在。“你对她犯下的错误很可怕,我想你应该为此向她道歉。”此处应填关系代词which代替主句中的the wrong you’ve done her,引导非限定性定语从句。
39. The truck ran down the hill, and the driver ______ ,according to the newspaper, to have been killed.
A.was reported B.was reporting C.reported
D.had been reported
正确答案:A
解析:将作为插入语的介词短语according to the newspaper分离出来后,可看出and后并列句应用被动语态;由and前面的分句时态可知应用过去时,故选[A]。
40. ______ who lays down his life for his friends. A.There is no greater love than that of a man B.There is no greater love than a man C.There is no greater love than a man’s
D.There is no greater love than that of a man’s
正确答案:A
解析:比较的双方应一致,即love与that(=the love)的比较,而[B]项成了不同类的东西(即love和a man之间)进行比较;选项[C]、[D]中a man’s与题干中的定语从句引导词 who不符,故错误。
41. Oh, John. ______ you gave us! A.How a pleasant surprise B.How pleasant surprise C.What a pleasant surprise D.What pleasant surprise
正确答案:C
解析:根据感叹句的结构“What+(a/an)+adj+n +(主谓结构)!或How+adj./adv.+(主谓结构)!”可排除[A]、[B]两项;surprise在此表示“令人惊奇的事”,即抽象名词具体化了,故须带不定冠词a。 知识模块:感叹句与抽象名词的具体化

短文理解
If we observe carefully, we can find that most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it is a chance in a million. People have made census (普查) to colors of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. Why? As we know,
sunlight is formed by seven different kinds of colored light. The wave length of each light changes, so the quantity of heat in each light changes, too. Flowers, especially their petals (花瓣) , are very weak and easy to the harm caused by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves, which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So the black flowers can hardly continue their lives. But red flowers, orange flowers and yellow ones can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting (反射) the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat. That is why red, orange and yellow flowers are very common in nature while black flowers are so unusual.
62. We can hardly find black flowers because ______. A.they are easy to be eaten by animals B.there are no black flowers in the world C.the petals of black flowers are too strong D.the light waves make the flowers dry up
正确答案:D
解析:从文章第二段的第四、五句可知:由于黑色的花吸收所有的光波,在高温下自然会干死,所以极少能在阳光下幸存,人们也就几乎看不到它们。
63. The red, orange and yellow lights contain ______. A.less heat than the other lights B.more heat than the other lights C.a great deal of heat D.a little heat
正确答案:C
解析:可从第二段结尾处“...the red light,orange light and yellow light,each of which has a large quantity of heat.”看出[C]项正确。
64. In the text, “it’s a chance in a million.” (Line 2, Para. 1) means that ______. A.it is common
B.it’s extremely unusual C.it’s lucky
D.it’s impossible
正确答案:B
解析:从字面上理解,十万次有一次机会,表明机会难得;从后文亦可知,黑色花确实罕见。
Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you are a thin 14 year-old. That was me in 1940 -- the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City’s Pennsylvania Railway Station. After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I’d like
to join them, thinking,” Everyone else is doing it.” When I got home that night, I told my father what I wanted to do. “You give an honest day’s work,” he said, looking at me straight in my eyes. “They are paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that.” I followed my father’s advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since. Of all my jobs I’ve had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that struck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with the people who steals. If one of my players was caught stealing, he’d be gone. Whether you are on a sports team. in an office or a member of a family, if you can’t trust one another, there’s going to be trouble.
65. What can be inferred about the baggage boys? A.They could earn much, but they must work hard. B.Many of them earned their money in a dishonest way. C.They were all from poor families. D.They were all thin, young boys.
正确答案:B
解析:从第二段After a few days on the job,I began noticing that the other fellows were over charging passengers.说明其他人向旅客多收费,这是一种不诚实的行为。
66. What does the father’s advice imply?
A.It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers. B.Don’t believe them if they are paying you more. C.Don’t follow others to overcharge the passengers. D.It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.
正确答案:C
解析:作者父亲的话“If they want to do that,you let them do that.”说明他劝告自己的儿子不要像其他人那样向旅客多要钱。
67. The writer can’t put up with stealing because he thinks that ______. A.it is a totally shared experience
B.it is considered as the most dangerous C.it does great harm to human relationship D.it may lead to the loss of his sports team
正确答案:C
解析:根据倒数第二段If one person steals,it destroys trust and hurts everyone.可推断出作者不能容忍盗窃的原因是盗窃会毁掉人们之间的信任,并伤害每个人,即[C]所表达的意思。
68. It can be concluded from the text that ______.
A.his father’s advice helped him to decide which job to take up B.working in a sports team was his most important experience
C.he learned much from his shared experience with his team members D.his experience as a baggage boy had a great influence on his later life

Their own doctor, who she had finally gone to for advice, had sent her to a specialist who knew all about these things. He had told her that just as soon as there was a bed for her, she would have to come into his hospital where he could look after her himself. During the weeks since then the pains had come ever more frequently, and the narrowed eyes be came an almost lasting part of her expression. Always rather sharp, she began losing her temper over little things so that John’s father kept his thoughts to himself more and more.

John’s cousin, Mona, was to come in and make the bed and wash the pots and dust round, now and again. That was the arrangement, and John didn’t care much for it. Apart from missing his mother (and she was glad she was going away be cause they would make her better), he wasn’t very fond of his Aunt Daisy because she was even more bad-tempered than her mother.

The Channel Islands are a group of British-owned islands lying in the English Channel(海峡), 10 to 30 miles off the French coast, and 70 to 90 miles from the English coast. There are ten islands with a total land area of 75 square miles and a total population of 123,000. The three largest islands, Jersey, Guernsey, and Alderney, have long been known for the fine breeds (品种) of cattle that are raised on them and’ named after them. In earliest known history the islands were considered part of Normandy, which was part of France, but the ruler of Normandy became king of England in 1066, and from then on the islands were looked upon as British land. English control was unbroken until World War Ⅱ, when the Germans held the islands for five years. Although people on the islands speak both languages and they are considered English, their cus toms are more French than English.

If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius (天才), they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational
psychologists (心理学家), this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parent expects. But unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children. However, if parents are not unrealistic- about what they expect their children to do, but are hope ful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well -- especially if the parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, she supports her son. Michael’s father plays the trumpet(小号) in a large orchestra(管弦乐队). However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they make him enter every piano competition. They are very unhappy when he doesn’t win. “When I was your age, I used to win every competition ! entered. “Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

C.what differences there are between two kinds of parents D.what aim of a child can be much easier to reach
正确答案:C
解析:这是一篇议论文,前两段提出问题,从正反两方面提出如何培养孩子成才的问题;后两段从正反两方面例证。从而说明两种(父母)不同的教育方式产生的两种不同的结果。此题易误选[B],但它只是提出问题。 知识模块:文章大意
78. Michael is very lucky because ______. A.his parents help him in a sensible way B.his family is rich enough to have a car C.his father is a musician in a orchestra D.he is free to do anything that he likes best
正确答案:A
解析:文章第二段从正面提出“如果家长不对孩子抱着不现实的幻想,而是以理智的方法对其进行帮助,孩子就有可能成功…”。而Michael就很幸运(Michael is lucky),接着文章第三段就介绍了Michael的父母明智的(sensible)、支持(supportive)孩子学习的教育方式。
79. Winston’s parents set so high a standard for him that ______. A.he has to do his best to do everything
B.he had made greater progress in music C.he is afraid he may disappoint them D.he often wants to kill himself some day

80. It is one of parents’ worst mistakes if ______. A.they want their child to be musicians
B.they help their child to win music competitions C.they don’t care for their child’s education D.they make their child try to achieve too much

正确答案:B

Beginning in October, more than 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants in America will use a new kind of cooking oil. McDonald’s aims to make its French fries and other fried foods healthier. The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food. But by changing the cooking oil, McDonald’s says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans-fatty acids(转换脂肪酸) in French fries and reduce the amount of saturated fats(饱和脂肪) by 16 percent. Scientists believe that trans-fatty acids and saturated fats raise cholesterol(胆固醇) levels and increase the risk of heart disease. McDonald’s new step is important because McDonald’s is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead. For McDonald’s, the action comes at a time when Americans are becoming more and more concerned about; obesity(肥胖) is an increasing pressure on food companies to offer healthy food to consumers. After three years of study, McDonald’s officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans-fatty acids. McDonald’s says the change will not cause higher coats for consumers. Though
there is some change, scientists say that the amount of trans-fat in foods at McDonald’s and at other fast-food companies is still important.
82. The main idea of the text is ______. A.McDonald’s is a pioneer in food products
B.McDonald’s is enlarging its restaurants in the world
C.fried foods can’t keep up with the development of moden society D.McDonald’s is to use new cooking oil

A.lower the costs of the products
B.make its food taste better than ever before C.cure the heart disease
D.do good to the health of consumers
正确答案:D
解析:由第一段末句“McDonald’s aims to make its French fries(油炸食品)and other fried foods healthier.”即可得出答案为[D]。
84. When a new kind of cooking oil is used in McDonald’s, ______. A.the prices of McDonald’s foods will be much higher
B.consumers will find the taste of McDonald’s foods different C.many other food companies will do what McDonald’s does D.fatness will disappear in American society sooner or later
正确答案:C
解析:文章第三段指出,由于McDonald’s在快餐业的领导地位,它对食用油的改变必将使“other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead.”,所以[C]正确。文章第五段指出,McDonald’s官方宣称此次食用油的变更不会使其食品价格上升,故排除[A];文章没有说明此次食用油的变更是否影响到了食物的味道,故排除[B];[D]也未在文章中体现。
85. The underlined word” switching” in Paragraph 5 probably means ______. A.losing B.spending C.changing D.studying
正确答案:C
解析:联系switching所在的句子,McDonald’s官员说这种油含有更低的转
换脂肪酸和饱和脂肪,所以应该是改变了的食用油,故选[C]。
86. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.If a person’s cholesterol is high, it won’t affect his health. B.Heart disease is connected with the contents of cholesterol. C.The Americans pay no attention to the action of McDonald’s. D.Most of American foods are lower in trans-fatty acids.
正确答案:B 解析:文章第二段最后指出,转基因脂肪酸和饱和脂肪酸提高了人体胆固醇的含量,增加患心脏病的危险。所以[D]正确,同时[A]错误。文章第四段第一句就说明了美国社会对McDonald’s的行为给予了很大的关注,因此排除[C];由原文知,McDonald’s和许多其他家的快餐油炸食品在转基因脂肪酸的含量上都是很高的,不然:McDonald’s不会要对其食用油进行更换,并且能够降低近一半的转基因脂肪酸的含量,故排除[D]。
