1.
______, follow the directions on the bottle carefully.
SSS_SINGLE_SEL
A When taken drugs
B When drugs are taken
C When one takes drugs
D When taking drugs
分值: 2
答案:D
选项部分没有出现主语，这样它的逻辑主语看做是后面句子的主语，而后面句子是第二人称祈使句，其主语是you，因此答案应该是表示“主动”的分词。

2.

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
A resist
B experience
C tolerate
D sustain
分值: 2
答案:C
句意是“……他们不能忍受流行乐的噪声”，这里的“忍受”只能用C项tolerate。

A项 resist、B项experience、D项sustain的意思分别是“抵抗”、“经历”、“支撑”，均不合句意。

3.

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
A sight
B emphasis
C focus
D object
分值: 2
答案:C
本句意思是说Mary总想成为众人关注的焦点，因此C项focus符合题意。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
A could
B would
C was
D did
分值: 2

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
A advanced

C produced
D thrust
分值: 2
答案:A

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
A solid
B stiff
C firm
D rigid
分值: 2
答案:C

7.
Were it not for their support and help, we ______ able to finish the task ahead of time.
SSS_SINGLE_SEL
A were not
B should not have been
C are not
D would not be

SSS_SINGLE_SEL

B much as twice
C twice as much
D as twice much

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
A till
B to
C for
D about
分值: 2
答案:B
题意是“花费多达……”，对应的英语是spend up to；此外，句中已经有了up，其他三个选项不能与之形成有意义的搭配，故选择B项to。

10.
The old man is in the habit of going for a walk along the river every morning except it rains.
SSS_SINGLE_SEL
A when
B for
C that
D /
分值: 2
答案:A
本句中的except前后关联的是两个时间概念：“每天早晨”和“下雨的时候”，所以只能用A项when，使后面部分成为时间状语才能符合题意。

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Directions:
In this part there are three passages and one advertisement, each followed questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Imagine a world in which children would be the rulers and could decide not only the outcome of each and every occurrence, but also dictate the very structure and form of the environment. In this world, a child's wildest thoughts would become reality, limited only by the extent of his or her imagination.
While such a world might sound both fantastic and frightening, at least from a logical, adult perspective, it does exist. What's more, it has been in existence for some time and is populated by hundreds of thousands of children who spend hours within its boundaries experimenting and learning. This world is not real, at least not in the traditional sense, but exists within a computer and is generated by an educational programming language called LOGO. Unlike **puter languages and programs that are designed to test children and provide applications that formally dispense information, LOGO allows children, even preschool children, to be in total control. Children teach **puter to think and as a result develop and sharpen their own reasoning abilities.
SSS_SINGLE_SEL
11.
In the imagined world ______ would restrict children's wildest thoughts.
A the limits of their imagination
B the structure and form of the environment

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
12.
LOGO is ______.
A an educational testing program
B a computer language
C an information dispenser
D an unreal world
分值: 2
答案:B

13.
Children are rulers ______.
A in the traditional sense
B within the boundaries of LOGO's world
C with **puter languages and programs
D in the adult world
分值: 2
答案:B
文章倒数第二句中的LOGO allows children，even preschool children，to be in total control说明孩子是rulers，再加上全篇谈论的是借助LOGO程序语言实现的虚拟世界，所以B项 within the boundaries of LOGOs world正确。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
14.
LOGO is unique because ______.
A it is an educational program
B it is in total control of human beings
C it allows children to teach **puter to think

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
15.
The best title for this passage would be ______.
A Children Rule the World
B Computer Languages
C The Unreal World of the Child and LOGO
D Children Learn Reasoning Using LOGO
分值: 2
答案:D
首段设想了一个孩子们可以实现自己奇思异想的世界，第二段指出这样的世界就是使用 LOGO语言的计算机世界，它有利于发展和增强孩子的思维能力。

由
此来看，D项Children Learn Reasoning Using LOGO是最佳标题。

Passage Two
The development of rapid transit rail lines in cities should parallel local economic development and blind construction of such lines should be avoided, a State Council conference said yesterday.
The meeting, chaired by Premier Wen Jiabao, said the building of rapid-transit rail lines in cities should be carried out according to strict guidelines and management systems of such lines should be improved. It stressed that the amount of domestically made equipment used in such infrastructure projects needs to be increased.
The meeting also deliberated on the draft amendments for laws governing the People's Bank of China **mercial banks. Also discussed were the draft law on the supervision and management of banking sector and draft regulations on the management of central food reserves. It was agreed at the meeting that the laws governing the People's Bank of China **mercial banks need to be amended so that the roles and responsibilities of the two are made clear.
SSS_SINGLE_SEL
16.
The rapid-transit rail lines should ______.
A develop as quickly as possible
B develop with local economic development
C develop after local economic development
D develop with the construction industry

C the two banks operate in a low efficiency
D the People's Bank operates at a loss while **mercial banks operates at a profit
分值: 2
答案:A
本题也是推断性质的，依据是最后一句，关键部分是s。

that the roles and responsibilities of the two are made clear，这里意思是指中国人民银行和商业银行地位与职责要明确，含义是这方面做得还不好，故选择A项the People's Bank **mercial banks do not function properly。

SSS_SINGLE_SEL
20.
Which of the following has nothing to do with the meeting chaired by Premier Wen?
A Discussing the building of rapid-transit rails.
B Discussing the draft amendments concerning some banks.
C Discussing the draft regulations about food reserves.
D Discussing whether the People's Bank of China **mercial banks should be integrated.

答案:D
本题可用排除法，A、B、C项在报道中都提到了；D项的意思是“讨论是否要把两家银行合并”，没有提到。

Passage Three
This country, as Lincoln said, belongs to the people. So do the natural resources which make it rich. They supply the basis of our prosperity now and hereafter. In preserving them, which is a national duty, we must not forget that monopoly is based on the control of natural resources and natural advantages, and that it will help the people little to conserve our natural Wealth unless the benefits which it can yield are given back to the people.
Let us remember, also, that conservation does not stop with the natural resources. The principle of making the best use of all we have requires that we stop the waste of human life in industry and prevent the waste 'of human welfare which flows from the unfair use of concentrated power and wealth in the hands of men whose eagerness for profit blinds them to the cost of what they do. We have no higher duty than to promote the efficiency of the individual. There is no surer road to the efficiency of the nation.
