PART I DICTATION (15 MIN)Directions: Listen to the following passage. Altogether the passage will be read to you four times. During the first reading, which will be read at normal speed, listen and try to understand the meaning. For the second and third readings, the passage will be read sentence by sentence, or phrase by phrase, with intervals of 15 seconds. The last reading will be read at normal speed again and during this time you should check your work. You will then be given 2 minute 1．
正确答案：Opportunity Opportunities don’t come often. They come every once in a while. Very often, they come quietly and go by without being noticed. Therefore, it’s advisable that you should value and treat them with care. When an opportunity comes, it brings a promise but never realizes it on its own. If you intend to fulfill one of your ambitions, you must work hard. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they visit you. The difference between a successful man and one who does not lies only in the way treating opportunities. The successful person always makes adequate preparations to meet opportunities. The loser, on the other hand, works little and just waits to see them pass by. There are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and qualified highly can make use of them to achieve their purpose. Chance favors the minds that are prepared.

听力原文：European leaders, trying to end their bitter dispute over Iraq, warned Saddam Hussein on Monday he faces a “last chance” to disarm, but gave no deadline and said U.N. weapons inspectors must have more time to finish their work. The statement came at the end of a European Union emergency summit on the crisis with Baghdad. Diplomats insisted they had healed the rift (裂口；空隙；分歧) over U.S. calls for military action. But significant divisions remained, with some states saying the United Nations could still disarm Iraq peacefully. “War is not inevitable. Force should be used only as a last resort. It is for the Iraqi regime to end this crisis by complying fully with the demands of the Security Council,” the 15 nations said in the joint declaration. That was seen as a setback for Germany, which has opposed war under any circumstances.

听力原文：Doctors in Chicago said on Monday they reached their conclusions on the fat question after examining 815 people aged 65 and older who did not have Alzheimer’s at the start of a nearly four-year study. Those in the study were asked to recall their dietary habits during a more than two-year period before the study began. At the end of the study the researchers found that 131 people had developed Alzheimer’s, the debilitating disease that leads to memory loss and eventual physical incapacity. People who consumed the most saturated fat —the kind of fat that comes from meat, poultry, dairy products and palm or coconut oils —had 2.3 times the risk of developing Alzheimer’s compared with those who consumed the lowest amount of saturated fats, the researchers said.

Humans are unique in the extent to which they can reflect on themselves and others. Humans are able to 【C1】______ , to think in abstract terms, to reflect on the future. A meaningless, 【C2】______ world is an insecure world. We do not like extensive insecurity. When it 【C3】______ to human behavior we infer meaning and 【C4】______ to make the behavior understandable. 【C5】______ all this means is that people develop “quasi theories” of human behavior, that is, theories that are not developed in a/an 【C6】______ scientific manner.

28．【C1】
A．reason
B．mediate
C．consider
D．rationalize
正确答案：A
解析：动词语义题。

句意为：人类能够推理，进行抽象思维，反思将来。

选项A reason指运用推理判断的能力，用逻辑思维来决定或推论；选项B mediate 意思是“调停，斡旋”，语义不合适。

选项 C consider“仔细考虑，深思”，常常含有把某些东西考虑在内，照顾到的意思，与上文意思不统一；选项D rationalize 是个于扰项，意思是“使合理化”，当用作“理性思考”时，常常表示用经过合理化后的方法进行思考，不合题意。

29．【C2】
A．unanimous
B．unimaginable
C．unpredictable
D．unfortunate
正确答案：C
解析：形容词语义题。

句意为：一个毫无逻辑的，不可预知的世界是很没有安全感的。

选项C unpredictable表示“不可预知的”，正好与上文说人们的不安全感来自于对肚界的不解一致，合乎题意。

选项A unanimous表示“意见一致的，无异议的”，不合题意；选项B unimaginable表不“想不到的，不可思议的”，是个干扰项，但它常表示某件事情山人意料，与原来的设想不一致，甚至有荒唐的意味；选项D unfortunate意思是“不幸的，不合宜的，使人遗憾的”，偏离了题意，排除。

30．【C3】
A．goes
B．comes
C．makes
D．concerns
正确答案：B
解析：动词搭配题。

句意为：当谈论到人们的行为时。

选项B come to表示“当谈论到…”。

选项A go没有这种用法；选项C make和选项D concern都不跟介词to搭配。

故正确答案为B 。

31．【C4】
A．grounds
B．motives
C．conclusions
D．consequences
正确答案：B
解析：名词理解题。

句意为：当谈论到人们的行为，我们通过推断意义和动机来理解他们的行为。

选项A ground是个干扰项，表示“理由，原因”，但是一般指的是促使采取行动的根本条件和依据。

而在这里强调的是人们之所以这样行事的动机和目的，所以选择B 。

选项C conclusion表结论，不合题意；选项D consequence则是指后果，意思正好相反。

根据上下文，我们知道，要理解人们的行为，要靠推断其动机。

32．【C5】
A．That
B．As
C．What
D．Even
正确答案：C
解析：代词衔接题。

句意为：所有这一切意味着人们可以形成一种关于人类行为的所谓“准理论”。

这里需要一个既能作为主句谓语is的主语又能作主语从句谓语means宾语的词，只有what可以身兼二职，其他选项不合适。

所以选择C 。

33．【C6】
A．theoretic
B．subjective
C．conclusive
D．objective
正确答案：D
解析：连词衔接题。

句意为：也即，这些理论的形成不客观、不科学。

根据
句子意思，作者将这种准理论解释为“不以客观、科学的方法得出的理论”，所以只有选项D 合乎题意。

选项A theoretic表示“理论上的”；选项B subjective “主观的，个人的”，用在否定的句子里正好与文章意思相反；选项C conclusive 表示“结论性的，决定性的”，意思也不通。

只有选项D objective“客观的，有依据的，无个人偏见的”，放在句子中合乎文意。

34．【C7】
A．why
B．how
C．whether
D．when
正确答案：A
解析：关联词上下文理解题。

句意为：当人们这样做的时候，他们以为自己知道之所以这样行事的原因。

正确答案为选项A why，正好跟上文讨论人们行事的动机相连贯；而选项B how，人们如何行事则不是要讨论的内容；选项C whether 这里意思不通；这里并不是讨论人们行事的时间问题，所以选项D when也不合适。

35．【C8】
A．worried
B．disturbed
C．distressed
D．concerned
正确答案：D
解析：固定搭配题。

根据句意“在美国人们近几年来一直关注犯罪数量的增加”，be concerned with是固定搭配，表示“关注，关心某件事情”。

选项A worried 表示“忧虑”，一般与about搭配；B disturbed表示“扰乱，使不安”，打断或破坏安宁或安定的状态，一般与介词by连用；选项C distressed意思是“使悲痛，使忧伤”，一般指感情或精神上痛苦。

36．【C9】
A．even
B．also
C．yet
D．still
正确答案：B
解析：联结词衔接题。

句意为：我们也为人们为什么会犯罪而感到不安。

这里与上文是并列关系，上文提到我们为自己可能成为受害者而关注犯罪问题，这里说我们也为人们为什么会犯罪而感到不安。

选项C yet正好与原文意思相反，排除；选项D still通常指“到了某个时段，仍然还…”，含有不满的情绪在里边，也可指“尽管…，依然”，有转折和让步的意味，与文章的逻辑不合；文中也没
有递进的意思，所以排除选项A ；只有选项B also合适。

37．【C10】
A．retain
B．remain
C．maintain
D．refrain
正确答案：D
解析：动词语义题。

句意为：我们继续关注居高不下的犯罪率。

选项A retain 意思是“占有，保留”，通常指的是保持或维持在一个特殊的场所、条件或位置；选项B remain意思是“保持不变”，指的是继续保持同一种状态或情况，选项C maintain表示“维持，维修，”通常指对某些东西进行维护，使其不遭到损坏；而选项D refrain则表示“节制，避免，制止”，指的是克制或抑制某些东西，使其不发生。

在这里只有remain可以作系动词，后面跟名词、形容词或者动名词作表语，表示继续处于某种状态。

38．【C11】
A．apprehend
B．comprehend
C．understand
D．grasp
正确答案：C
解析：动词辨析题。

句意为：但是现在我们相信我们明白这种根由了。

选项A apprehend意指“来源于情感或感觉的认识或自我意识”，从精神上把握，心灵上接受；而选项B comprehend强调“(认知上的完全)认识”；选项D grasp表示“领会，领悟”，通常指理智地掌握某事物的精髓；选项C understand仅仅表示“理解，懂得，知道，了解”，为正确答案。

39．【C12】
A．precautions
B．destructive
C．inadequate
D．deficient
正确答案：C
解析：形容词辨析题。

句意为：我们的刑事司法体系不完善。

选项 A precautious意思是“有防备的，戒备的，警惕的”；选项B destructive意思是“破坏(性)的，有害的”；选项D deficient表示“缺乏的，不足的”；选项C inadequate 表示“不充分的，不适当的，不能充分满足要求的”，根据文章意思，为正确答案。

40．【C13】
A．because
B．as
C．within
D．from
正确答案：D
解析：介词衔接题。

句意为：由于受到自由思想的影响，人们的道德价值观削弱，变得越来越自私和漠然。

from在这里表示“因为，由于”，合乎题意。

而选项A because后面需要接从句，而文中是短语，不合语法；选项B as作介词时表示“作为”，不合乎题意，作为连词时也要跟从句；选项 C within搭配不当，如果要说在什么影响之下，常用的搭配为under the influence of。

41．【C14】
A．on
B．against
C．with
D．for
正确答案：A
解析：习惯用法题。

句意为：太多的人吸毒是犯罪多的原因之一。

选项 B against意思正好跟原文意思相反，予以排除；A on drugs是固定用法，表示“吸毒”，其他选项无此用法。

42．【C15】
A．Consolidate
B．Stiffen
C．Strengthen
D．Confirm
正确答案：C
解析：动词辨析题。

句意为：强化法庭的作用。

C strengthen表示“加强力量，使更有力”，与削弱相反。

选项A consolidate表示“巩固，加强”，通常指把原来分散的东西统一，加强巩固；选项 D stiffen意思是“把东西变硬，使僵硬，硬化”。

选项D confirm表示“确定，批准”，某事/某物得到一步的确认。

43．【C16】
A．see to
B．act on
C．work out
D．make out
正确答案：B
解析：短语语义题。

句意为：现在，只要按照这些解决方案执行，犯罪问题就有望得到解决。

选项A see to表示“负责，注意”；选项C work out表示“弄
明白，解决，计算出”；选项D make out意思是“理解，辨认出”；只有选项B act on意思是“按…采取行动”，合乎题意。

44．【C17】
A．rather
B．much
C．quite
D．very
正确答案：C
解析：副词衔接题。

句意为：…世界就不再没有意义，不再那么可怕了。

not quite意思是“不完全是，不那么”，C 合乎题意。

选项A rather和D very不与so 搭配，much与so连用时一般顺序为so much。

45．【C18】
A．moreover
B．nevertheless
C．otherwise
D．therefore
正确答案：D
解析：连词衔接题。

句意为：因此这些所谓的准理论将对我们发挥重要的作用。

根据上文讲到找到解决的办法，世界就不那么可怕了，这里承接上文说，这些理论对我们有意义，这里是因果关系，所以选项D 为正确答案。

46．【C19】
A．effective
B．sufficient
C．valid
D．reliable
正确答案：A
解析：形容词语义题。

句意为：这些建议措施在多大程度上起作用呢?A effective意思是“有效的，起作用的”，合乎题意。

而选项B sufficient表示“充分的，富足的”；选项[V]valid则表示“(法律上)有效的，有根据的，正当的”；选项D reliable是个干扰项，表示“可靠的，可信赖的”，一般指的是某个事物的真实性，可信度。

而这里要与solution搭配，只能是说解决方案的有效性，不能说可信度，所以予以排除。

47．【C20】
A．result
B．association
C．relation
D．respect
正确答案：D
解析：名词搭配题。

句意为：只有联系人们通常如何开始形成这些关于人类行为的准理论，这些问题才能有答案。

with respect to是固定词组，意思是“关于”。

选项A result表示“结果，后果”，选项B association表示“联系”，选项C relation意思是“关联，关系”，均搭配不当。

解析：此题考查状语的逻辑主语和主句主语的一致。

此句考核的是状语从句中的动词和主句中的逻辑主语的关系。

changing这个动名词的逻辑主语是we，因为从四个选项中看，只有we才具有这种能动性，因此选B。

但是由于汉语思
维当中无主句的影响，就很容易选A。

C和D选项如果是介词，则缺少宾语；如果是连词，则缺少从句；如果是副词，则一般用于句尾。

因此不用C和D选项。
