Part I Writing
My Teacher
In my middle school I had many good teachers, but Mr. Zhang was the one I particularly liked and respected. He was a middle-aged intellectual who lived a simple and hard working life but was always optimistic and spared no efforts in teaching us. He was a scholar of Chinese literature and history. We felt that he knew everything in this field. His knowledge and eloquence, as well as his kindness, made his lectures so attractive and touching that we were reluctant to hear that bell ringing to dismiss the class.
One lesson he gave us that I cannot forget concerned some quotations from a pupil of Confucius, who always felt at ease in spite of his life of abject poverty. In his lecture, Mr. Zhang revealed his true feelings in devoting himself to teaching all his life. This deeply moved us all.
I respect Mr. Zhang and should learn from his noble spirit and do my best to work hard for our motherland.

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
长难句解析
1.The boy’s dead body lay atop a sea of debris, the gentle ocean swelled, rocking
him against the bridge’s wooden pillar.
【译文】徐缓的海水涨了起来，男孩的尸体靠着架桥的木桩（随海浪）轻微地晃动着。

swell: （河水等）上涨；rock: v. 轻轻摇动；pillar: 柱子，支柱。

2. The once emerald-green(翡翠绿) rice paddy-fields(稻田) of Aceh have become graveyards for thousands of people. Bloated(肿胀), blackened bodies rose above the water and lined the narrow roads. Corpses seemed to be everywhere…
【译文】在亚齐省，曾经葱翠的稻田如今已经成了上千人的墓穴。

肿胀、发黑的尸体漂浮在水面上、遍布小路的两侧，满目皆是。

Aceh: （印度尼西亚）亚齐省，此次海啸的重灾区，下文中提到的Banda Aceh是亚齐省的首府班达亚齐。

3. then tore across a broad strip of coastal land, smashing everything in its path.
【译文】席卷了近海的大片土地，把沿途的一切夷为平地。

4. The stench(臭气，恶臭) of death lingered in the air.
【译文】空气中弥散着尸体腐烂所发出的臭味。

linger: 继续存留，流连徘徊。

5. To stop the tsunami from being followed by a second wave of death, this time from preventable causes.
【译文】从可防止的原因入手，阻断海啸灾后引发的第二轮死亡高峰。

注：突如其来的海啸引发了第一轮死亡高峰，使15万人丧生；联合国称，如果不能对灾区的医疗卫生、食品和衣物供给、灾民临时避难所等提供及时、有效的援助，死亡人数还会大大增加，引发第二轮死亡高峰。

6. And in the longer term, to prevent a third wave of despair, where people can’t recover their livelihoods, homes or communities.
【译文】从长远看，还要准备应对灾后的第三轮挑战，即因灾民无法恢复以往生活、重建家园和社区而引发的绝望。

注：联合国已将灾后的心理辅导纳入到人道主义援助的具体实施方案中，联合国儿童基金会也在援助中特别强调儿童的心理辅导和学校的重建。

答案出处
1．全文只是在最后两部分主要讲述海啸后儿童面临的被贩卖的危险，以及美国等国家为此所做的努力。

虽然在第一部分提到一个男孩子和女孩，但只是以他们为例来说明海啸对灾区的破坏程度。

故它是错误的。

2．根据第一部分第三段中的“On the day of t he disaster, I was staying with my grandmother in a nearby village”，我们可知它是正确的。

3．根据第二部分第五段中的“A third of the victims were children; another third, women”，可知它是正确的。

4．根据第二部分最后一段中的“Half of the city of Banda Aceh had been destroyed, with the figures for the dead ri sing each hour”，可推测它是正确的。

5．根据第四部分倒数第二段中的“while struggling to cope with the fact that almost 2,000 of their compatriots(同胞) are still missing in the tragedy…”，无法确定2000瑞典人都是游客，故正确答案是它没有被提及。

6．根据第三部分第三段中的“We will never know the exact number of how many men, women and children perished on 26 December, and in the eleven days that have passed since then”，我们无法知道其原因，故正确答案是它没有被提及。

7．根据最后一部分的第二段首句“The U.S. State Department, for its part, has placed a postponement on adoptions of tsunami survivors by U.S. citizens”以及第三段的“I n the U.S., the Christian mission Gospel for Asia, based in Carrollton, Texas, is raising funds to build 10 “transition homes” in Sri Lanka alone”，我们可知美国在以另一种方式帮助灾区孩子，故它是正确的。

8．据最后一部分的第二段首句“The U.S. State Department, for its part, has placed
a postponement o n adoptions of tsunami survivors by U.S. citizens”，正确答案应
是adoption。

9．根据第五部分第二段首句“Relief workers say many orphans are suffering from both physical and psychological trauma”，正确答案应是physical and
psychological。

10．根据最后一部分的“Those who still want to help have optio ns. Both the French and Italian governments have set up programs that will allow people to sponsor tsunami orphans. In the U.S., the Christian mission Gospel for Asia, based in
Carrollton, Texas, is raising funds to build 10 “transition homes” in Sri Lanka
alone”，正确答案应是to raise funds to build “transition homes”。

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)
Section B
Passage one
【短文大意】本文先讲述了传统的whole-word阅读教学方法的不足之处及其原因，然后指出phonics method的特点和好处，此方法能使学习者获得更大的词汇量。

长难句解析
①【解析】The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over
the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of
unfamiliar words.这是一个由over引导的三个并列词组构成的一个长句子。

【译文】whole-word阅读方法重视整个词的意义而轻视字母的意义，重视思维而轻视解码，重视通过视觉而轻视通过分解词汇的发音去记忆词汇。

②【解析】Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words,
it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most
common words in the English language can be learned. 这是一个do sth. rather than do /doing（通常用do）的句型。

【译文】它(phonics method) 教会孩子一种密码，用这种密码孩子们可以学会大量的英语语言中的常用词，而非仅仅积累有限的已学词汇。

答案出处
57. C细节题。

第一段的第二句话中的relying on educators与题干中的counting on
educators 完全是同样的意思。

正确答案应该是 C。

58. A推断题。

作者先在第一段的最后一句说“look-say”或“wh ole-word”的阅读教
学方法是失败的，第二段分析了这种方法失败的原因，是因为它“stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters, thinking over decoding…”，所以正确答案应该是 A。

59. D推断题。

文章在最后一段谈到了phonics method的特点和好处，第二句话
“Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized wor ds, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most
common words in the English language can be learned”，可见这种方法能使学习者获得更大的词汇量。

正确答案应该是D。

60. B词汇题。

本题要求利用上下文猜测单词的意思。

根据第二段的最后一句，
在1963年以前，出版的东西都是教授使用whole-word的方法的，紧接着用了转折词however，说在1955年，Rudolf Flesch “touched off”一场争论，因此此处的touch off必然是“引起”的意思。

正确答案应该是 B。

61. C细节题。

本题要求有较好的综合能力才能做得既快又准。

从第二段中综合
出whole-word阅读方法的特点：强调单词的意思、没有decoding；由此即可知B、D是错的；在文章的最后一句话，作者指出Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences，所以A也是不对的。

正确答案应该是C。

Passage 2
【短文大意】本文主要讲述英国等级意识虽然越来越淡，但在表层下，等级仍然存在。

而“阶层”的最大区别是他们的口音。

长难句解析
①【解析】This is an embarrassing subject for English people, and one they tend to be ashamed of, though during the present century class-consciousness has grown less and less, and the class system less rigid是一个复合句，主句由“and”引导的两个并列句组成，“though”引导的让步状语从句，也是由两个并列的句子组成。

【译文】尽管本世纪等级意识越来越淡，等级制度也越来越不严格，但对于英国人来说它仍是一个尴尬的话题，仍旧引以为耻。

②【解析】Working-class students very commonly receive a university education and enter the professions, and working-class incomes have grown so much recently that the distinctions between the two classes are becoming less and less clear是一个复合句，由“and”引导的两个并列句组成，“so…that”作“grown”的状语。

【译文】劳工家庭中的孩子上大学成为非常平常的事情，此后他们也加入各种专业行当。

劳工阶层的工资近来也快速增长，使得两个阶层间的界线越来越模糊。

答案出处
62. D细节题。

意为“那些比较富裕的生意人或有一定的职业的人”。

见第一段的
倒数第二句“The middle class consists chiefly of well-to-do businessmen and
professional people of all kinds”：中产阶级主要包括富裕的生意人和有一定的职业的人。

所以正确答案应该是D。

63. C细节题。

意为“口音”。

见第二段的第一句：他们之间最明显的区别是他们
的口音。

所以正确答案应该是C。

64. A推断题。

意为“因为它听起来太过谦卑，很可能会引起尴尬”。

见文章的最
后两句“Even the word “sir”, except in school and in certain occupations (e.g.
commerce, the army etc.) sounds too servile to be commonly used”：谦卑会引起尴尬和不悦。

甚至像“先生”这样的词，除了在特定的职业中（如商业、军队）外，也不太常用，因为它听起来太过谦卑。

所以正确答案应该是A。

65. C细节题。

A选项前半句是对的。

上流社会人数很少，但后半句是错的，因
为媒体还在关注他们，注意一定要看清楚再选。

B选项相关内容在文末。

D 没有提到。

C在第一段中间出现“We shall ignore for a moment the old “upper class”, including the hereditary aristocracy”，故是正确答案。

66. B细节题。

意为“来自工人阶级家庭的学生不能接受大学教育”。

见第三段第
二句的前半句：Working-class students very commonly receive a university
education and enter the professions,即来自工人阶级家庭的学生接受大学教育
并且某种职业的情况已十分普遍。

所以选项B的答案与文章不相符，是正确答案。

Tape Script of Listening Comprehension
Section A
11. M: Would you like a copy of Professor Smith's article?
W: Thanks, if it's not too much trouble.
Q: What does the woman imply?
12. W: Did you visit the Television Tower when you had your vacation in Shanghai
last summer?
M: I couldn't make it last June. But I finally visited it two months later. I plan to visit it again sometime next year.
Q: What do we learn about the man?
13. M: Prof. Kennedy has been very busy this semester. As far as I know, he
works until mid-night every day.
W: I wouldn't have troubled him so much if I had known he was so busy.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
14. W: If I were you, I would have accepted the job.
M: I turned down the offer because it would mean frequent business trips away
from my family:
Q: Why didn't the man accept the job?
15. M: How are you getting on with your essay, Mary? I'm having a real hard time
with mine.
W: After two sleepless nights, I'm finally through with it.
Q: What do we learn from this conversation?
16. W: Where did you say you found this bag?
M: It was lying under a big tree between the park and the apartment building
Q: Where did the man find the bag?
17. M: Wouldn't you get bored with the same routine year after year teaching the same
things to children?
W: I don't think it would be as boring as working in an office. Teaching is stimulating.
Q: What does the woman imply about office work?
18. M: I was terribly embarrassed when some of the audience got up and left in the
middle of the performance.
W: Well, some people just can't seem to appreciate real-life drama.
Q: What are they talking about?
Now y ou’ll hear two long conversations
Conversation One
(An interviewer is interviewing a sociologist about success. (I= interviewer S= sociologist)
I: Dr. Green, you’re a sociologist, and you have been studying success for many yea rs, so what do you think are the factors in success?
S: It is obvious that whatever field you’re in, you must have energy and ambition.
I: Do you also have to have much natural talent?
S: Not necessarily. Study shows that successful people are not always those who have the most natural talent, but those who work really hard.
I: Is hard work alone enough?
S: Of course not. Success is more than hard work. It must be very focused hard work. It means you have to work effectively and you must have motivation. So attitude is involved.
I: Could you please explain?
S: Well, it’s like this. You had better not think that work is a kind of pressure. Otherwise, you’ll never succeed. You need to approach difficulties in a positive manner.
I: I see. Any examples can you give?
S: In our life we can find many people who are faced with many difficulties in their lives but never discouraged. Take Helen Keller as an example. She was born
healthy in 1880, but a high fever left her deaf, blind and unable to speak. The world suddenly became dark and frighten ing. But with her teacher’s help, she learned to communicate with people around her.
I: Yes, she has become a good example of determination and courage all over the world.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. According to the sociologist, all the following points are the factors in success
except______.
20. When Helen Keller was born, she was ______.
21. How did Helen Keller become deaf and blind?
Conversation Two
M:I have recently read a book on signals and words. I learned a lot about signals used in conversation.
W: It sounds quite interesting. What have you learned about that?
M: It says that with the development of behavioral sciences, researchers find that the importance of speech has been overestimated.
W: How interesting! I only know that speech is quite important in communication. M: It’s true. But it’s not the only means of communication. Maybe it’s the most conscious way in communication.
W: Then, what other means can we use to communicate?
M: Well, it is possible that we are unconsciously sending out messages with our every action. Sometimes we unconsciously pick up others’ messages, and we even form opinions based on such messages. That’s probably an explanation of some
people “love at first sight”, and sometimes we just make “snap judgment”.
W: Yes, you mean we communicate a lot with our bodies, we send out messages when we move, sit, stand and whatever we do with our hands and our heads.
M: That’s absolutely correct. Just imagine a few people sitting in a waiting room. One is drumming his fingers on his briefcase, another keeps rubbing his hands
together, another is biting his fingernails, still another grasps the arms of his chair tightly and a final one keeps running his fingers over his hair.
W: Excelle nt examples! These people actually aren’t talking, but they are “saying” a lot if we happen to know the “language” they are using.
M: Right, I can’t agree with you more. There are also two most “telling” forms of behavior. One is driving a car. The other is playing games such as card games or chess. It is interesting to note a person’s reaction to stress in these situations and aggressive behavior in others.
W: If he easily becomes angry, excited, passive or resentful when driving or playing, we may have a clue to his personality.
M: Yes, I’m sure we will. Oh here comes the bus. Let’s be quick. Our language class is about to begin in fifteen minutes.
W: Yes. We also can discuss this interesting topic again with Professor Lee. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. What is the most possible relationship between the two speakers?
23. Where does this dialogue most probably take place?
24. What is the purpose of mentioning that group of people in a waiting room?
25. According to the speakers, which of the following is the most informative form of
behavior?
Section B
Passage One
There are three groups of English learners: beginners, intermediate learners, and learners of special English. Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached an intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about students who want to learn specialist English for their work or professional life? Most students, who fit into this third group have a clear idea about what they want to learn. A bank clerk, for example, wants to use this specialist vocabulary and technical terms of finance. But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialist English is not always so easy. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field from air- line pilots to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of that specialist language, and not many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way specialist English is taught in schools. This type of course is usually known as English for Specific Purposes, or ESP and there are ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters, travel agents and people working in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular ESP courses are for business English.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What is the characteristic of learners of special English?
27. Who needs ESP courses most?
28. What are the most popular ESP courses in Britain?
29. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
Passage Two
The first step to stop drug abuse is to know why people start to use drugs. The reasons people abuse drugs are as different as people are from one to another. But there seems to be one common reason: people seem to take drugs to change the way they feel. They want to feel better or feel happy or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about the roseleaf when they are under the influence of drugs. But the effects don't' last long. Drugs don't solve problems. They just postpone them. No matter how far drugs may take you, it's always a round trip. After a while, people who miss drugs may feel worse about themselves, and then they may use more drugs. If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help. The most important part you can play is to be there. You can let your friends know that you care. You can listen and try to solve the problem behind your friends’ need to use drugs. Two people together can often solve a problem that seems too big for one person alone. Studies about heavy abusers in the
United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted. They didn't have close friends to talk to. When you or your friends take the time to care for each other, you're all helping to stop drugs abuse. After all, what is a friend for?
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. Why do some people abuse drugs?
31. According to the passage, what is the best way to stop friends from abusing drugs?
32. What are the findings of the studies about heavy drug users?
Passage Three
Bows and arrows are one of man's oldest weapons. They gave early man an effective weapon to kill his enemies. The ordinary bow or short bow was used by nearly all early people. This bow had limited power and short range. However, man overcame these faults by learning to track his targets at a close range. The long bow was most likely discovered when someone found out that a five-foot piece of wood made a better bow than a three-foot piece. Hundreds of thousands of these bows were made and used for three hundred years. However, not one is known to survive today. We believe that a force of about one hundred pounds was needed to pull the string all the way back on a long bow. For a long time the bow was just a bent stick and string. In fact, more changes have taken place in a bow in the past 25 years than in the last 7 centuries. Today, bow is forceful. It is as exact as a gun. In addition, it requires little strength to draw the string. Modern bows also have precise aiming devices. In indoor contests, perfect scores from 40 yards are common. The invention of the bows itself ranks with discovery of fire and the wheel. It was a great-step-forward for man. Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. Why did man have to track his target at a close range when using a short bow?
34. What does the passage tell us about the long bow?
35. What do we know about modem bows?
Section C
The picnics, speeches, and (36) parades of today’s Labor Day were all part of the first celebration, held in New York City in 1882. Its (37) promoter was an
Irish-American labor leader named peter J. McGuire. A carpenter (38)by trade, McGuire had worked since the age of eleven, and in 1882 was president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners (UBCJ). (39) Approaching the City’s Central Labor Union that summer, he proposed a holiday that would applaud（赞许）“the industrial spirit--the great vital force of every nation,”On September 5 his suggestion (40) bore fruit, as an estimated 10,000 workers, many of them (41) ignoring their bosses’ warnings, left work to march from Union Square up Fifth Avenue to 42nd Street. The event gained national attention, and by 1893 thirty states had made Labor Day an (42) annual holiday.
The quick adoption of the (43) scheme may have indicated less about the state lawmakers’ respect for working people than about a fear of risking their anger.(44) In
the 1880s the United States was a land sharply divided between the immensely wealthy and the very poor. Henry George was accurate in describing the era as one of “progress and poverty.” In a society in which factory owners rode in private Pullmans (45) while ten-year-olds slaved in the mines, strong anti-capitalist feeling ran high. Demands for fundamental change were common throughout the labor press. With socialists demanding an end to “wage slavery” and anarchists（无政府主义）singing the praises of the virtues of dynamite（炸药）, middle-of-the-roaders like Samuel Gompers and McGuire seemed attractively mild by comparison. One can imagine practical capitalists seeing Labor Day as a bargain: (46) A one-day party certainly cost them less than paying their workers decent wages.。
