A．Desperate

3．A large number of cars ______ parked in front of my house.
A．are
B．is
C．has
D．was
正确答案：A
解析：本题的考点是英语名词，特别是可数名词和不可数名词。

4．Whether or not their business will succeed ______ their most concern.
A．have become
B．are

本题的A 和B选项都是复数谓语动词形式，D选项不是谓语动词形式，只有C选项符合此句的语法要求。

5．To get a high score ______.
A．working hard is needed
B．one must work hard
C．working hard is very important

A．Chicago Lakeshore
B．Whitehall Hotel
C．Best Western Hotel
D．Ramada Inn Lakeshore

Americans today don’t place a very high value on intellect. Our heroes are athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, not scholars. Even our schools are where we send our children to get a practical education—not to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Symptoms of pervasive anti-intellectualism in our schools aren’t difficult to find. “Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual”, says education writer Diane Ravitch. “Schools could be a counterbalance”. Razitch’s latest bock, Left Back: A Century of Failed School Reforms, traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits. But they could and should be. Encouraging kids to reject the life of the mind leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and control. Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. Continuing along this path, says writer Earl Shortis, “We will become a second-rate country. We will have a less civil society”. “Intellect is resented as a form of power or privilege”, writes historian and professor Richard Hofstadter in Anti-Intellectualism in American life, a Pulitzer Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism. Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book. Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalist philosophers thought schooling and rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children: “We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing”. Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Firm exemplified American anti-intellectualism. Its hero avoids being civilized—going to school and learning to read so he can preserve his innate goodness. Intellect, according to Hofstadter, is different from native intelligence, a quality we reluctantly
admire. Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of the mind. Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, reorder, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes and imagines. School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. Hofstadter says our country’s educational system is in the grips of people who “joyfully and militantly proclaim their hostility to intellect and their eagerness to identify with children who show the least intellectual promise”.
16．What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school?
A．The habit of thinking independently.
B．Profound knowledge of the world.
C．Practical abilities for future career.
D．The confidence in intellectual pursuits.
正确答案：C
解析：第一段第三句说明了我们将孩子送到学校的目的是让他们获得实用性教育(get a practical edueation)，C是该意义的同义转述；第三段描述了只注重实用性而忽略知识学习的结果，排除A；第一段中说明孩子到学校不是为了学习知识，排除B；既然不是为了学习知识，那么也就不是为了培养追求知识的信心，排除D。

17．We can learn from the text that Americans have a history of______.
A．undervaluing intellect.
B．favoring intellectualism.
C．supporting school reform.
D．suppressing native intelligence.
正确答案：A
解析：第四段历史学家霍夫施特的话从历史的角度分析美国社会轻视知识学习的根源，该段最后一句指的就是intellect，故可以说，美国历史上就一直对知识不够重视，故选A。

B与该意正好相反，排除B；第二段提到的拉维奇的书可足以说明美国历史上并没有支持学校教育改革，排除C；第四段末句提到了美国人认为天分重于知识，可见天分并没有受到压抑，排除D。

18．The views of Ravish and Emerson on schooling are ______.
A．identical.
B．similar.
C．complementary.
D．opposite.
正确答案：D
解析：由第二段可总结出拉维奇关于学校教育的观点是：学校根本没能平衡或抵消美国人对知识追求的憎恶，这是学校教育的一个世纪的失败(见其书名)，可见他认为学校应该改变现状，转而鼓励学生追求知识，第五段首句说明爱默生认为书本学习会使孩子受到不自然的限制，可见两人观点既不等同，也不类似，也不互补，而是正好相反，故选D。

19．Emerson, according to the text, is probably ______.
A．a pioneer of education reform.
B．an opponent of intellectualism.
C．a scholar in favor of intellect.
D．an advocate of regular schooling.
正确答案：B
解析：第五段第一句说明爱默生认为学校教育会使孩子受到不自然的限制，可见他是个知识主义的反对者，故选B。

文章没有提到爱默生和学校教育改革有什么关系，排除A。

C与B的意思正好相反，排除C；文章只是论述了知识学习和实用性学习，并没有提到所谓正常和不正常的学校教育，排除D。

20．What does the author think of intellect?
A．It is second to intelligence.
B．It evolves from common sense.
C．It is to be pursued.
D．It underlies power.
正确答案：C
解析：文章虽提到common sense，但没有说intellect来源于common sense，排除B；文章只在第四段提到power，说”知识被人们看作一种权力或特权而受到憎恶”，这是人们对知识所存的偏见，并不是作者本人的看法，排除D。

第三段开头一句明显是作者的口吻，该段下文又论述了没有知识，人们将不能参与民主，国家将不再文明等等，第六段又引用霍夫施特的话对比了intelligence和intellect，两相比较，很明显，优势在intellect一边，可见，作者对intellect的观点是C，排除A。

Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies. You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or mom specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job. Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body. The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.
21．Some psychologists maintain that thinking is ______.
A．not a mental process
B．more of a physical process than a mental action
C．a process that involves our entire bodies
D．a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain
正确答案：D
解析：本题考点在文章第一句中的mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone，but that one’s muscles also participate.原文中的not... alone，but... 相当于考题里的as well as，所以考生对意思相似相近的表达要清楚。

22．Few people are able to listen to familiar music without ______.
A．moving some part of their body
B．stopping what they are doing to listen
C．directing the orchestra playing it
D．wishing that they could conduct music properly
正确答案：A
解析：本题的依据句是第二段中的第二个句子Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically，some part of their body.
23．Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to ______.
A．hear the music
B．appreciate the music
C．enjoy the music fully
D．completely understand the music
正确答案：C
解析：本题依据关键在第三段第二句中的derive all possible enjoyment from music，这与试题中的enjoy the music fully意思相当。

24．According to the selection, muscle participation in the process of thinking is ______.
A．deliberate
B．obvious
C．not readily apparent
D．very pronounced
正确答案：C
解析：本题的依据是短文中的最后一句，关键部分是this participation is less obvious，这与选项
C．not readily apparent意思相当。

25．The best title for this selection is ______.
A．An Ear for Music
B．Music Appreciation
C．How Muscles Participate in Mental Acts
D．A Psychological Definition of the Thinking Process
正确答案：C
解析：短文先指出思维中可能有类似听音乐时肌肉参与的情形；接着描述了听音乐过程中肌肉参与的情况；最后指出，肌肉在思维活动中的参与只不过没那么明显罢了。

可见，全文主要讨论的是肌肉在思维活动中的参与，既不是专门讲思维，更不是专门说音乐。

故c选项做标题合适。

26．The two advertisements are most likely about ______.
A．mai estate
B．auction
C．shopping
D．tourism
正确答案：D
解析：此题的关键是要浏览两个广告的共同点，由”开放时间”和”门票价格”可以看出这两个地方应该是旅游点。

A项选择的意思是”房地产”，B项选择的意思是”拍卖”，C项选择的意思为”购物”，都不是这两个广告的内容。

27．You can call (0738) 52300 to ______.
A．arrange for a special activity
B．book adventure film tickets
C．ask for reduced charges
D．seek more information on Arboretum
正确答案：A
解析：首先要找到题干上的电话号码，然后看号码前后的信息。

在这里，与此电话号码有关的内容是Evening tours，Meetings，Concerts。

言下之意是，如果要安排这些活动，就要打这个号码与Administrator联系。

A项选择的意思是”安排一项特别的活动”，应该是最佳答案。

其他选择项的信息都与这个电话号码没有任何联系。

28．Both advertisements show that ______.
A．children enjoy half of the admission charges
B．children need not pay as much as adults
C．adults are required to pay full charges
D．old people are privileged to pay less
正确答案：B
解析：本题属于判断题，要求把四个选择项的依据信息在广告中找到，逐一进行对照确认。

B项选择的意思在两个广告中都得到了确认(广告1：children…admitted at reduced charge；广告2：adult 30 p，children 15p)。

其他的选择项都只在一个广告中正确，而在另一个广告中不正确。

29．Scone Palace is located ______ Perth.
A．in
B．near
C．on the edge of
D．far away from
正确答案：B
解析：应该首先找到这道题的依据Situated just outside Perth，可以确定出B 项选择near的意思最为接近。

其他选项的意思与原文有差距。

C项选择on the edge of指的是”在Perth的(里面)边缘”。

30．You can go to the exhibition and the palace ______.
A．every day from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. all year around
B．on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from May to October
C．on Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from March to October
D．on weekdays from March 12 to October 31 in summer
正确答案：B
解析：应注意，本题题干the exhibition and the palace涉及两个广告的内容。

要求把四个选择项的依据信息在两个广告中找到，逐一进行对照确认。

只有B 项选择的信息可以在两个广告中都能得到确认。

其他的选择项都只在一个广告中正确，而在另一个广告中不正确。

(本题难度较小，但太费时间)。

Part III ClozeDirections: There are ten blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, 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.

31．【C1】
A．That
B．What

D选项意思有误。

32．【C2】
A．keep
B．make
C．meet
D．take
正确答案：C
解析：此处的考点为动词和名词固定搭配，meet deadlines意思为按期完成某项任务。

其他动词不能与名词deadlines搭配。

正确答案：D
解析：in the required time意思为“在需要的时间之内”。

其他选项在此处意思或用法有误。

34．【C4】
A．lie in
B．add to
C．lead to
D．bring out

35．【C5】
A．symbol
B．signal
C．remark
D．sign
正确答案：D
解析：a sign of respect and politeness意思为“尊重和礼貌的标志”。

36．【C6】
A．hopefully
B．virtually
C．basically
D．exactly
正确答案：D
解析：应该特别注意后半句话的语境信息提示。

37．【C7】
A．enjoyed
B．depressed
C．happy
正确答案：B
解析：从上下文判断，特别是与后面的hurry一词相对应，此处的用词应该为负面的含义。

只有B选项的depressed(压力大)含有负面的概念。

其他选项都是正面的概念。

38．【C8】
A．take
B．make
C．consider
D．accept
正确答案：A
解析：本题为一个固定搭配词组。

Part IV Dialogue CompletionDirections: In this part, there are ten short incomplete dialogues between two speakers, each followed by four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that most appropriately suits the conversational context and best completes the dialogue. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

it? Wendy: It is heaven! ______!
A．Their cakes are to strive for
B．Their cakes are to struggle for
C．Their cakes are to die for
D．Their cakes are to pay for
正确答案：C
解析：从对话语境和供选答案看，Wendy是想说”那里的蛋糕好吃得不得了”。

符合习惯的表达只能是Their cakes are to die for!(to die for something=to be eager to have something)。

42．Customer: This shirt seems a size too small for me. It’s an L. Saleswoman: I’m really sorry. ______.
A．I think it’s just the right size.
B．The color doesn’t suit you.
C．It looks nice on you.
D．It doesn’t come in XL.
正确答案：D
解析：这是顾客和销售服务员之间的对话，顾客认为这件衬衫太小，销售服务员肯定是针对这个问题的具体回答。

43．Receptionist: ______ Caller: Hello. I’d like to book a double-room for next weekend.
A．Hello. Can I help you?
B．Just a moment, please.
C．Good morning, Royal Hotel.
D．Hello. This is Joanne Taylor speaking.
正确答案：C
解析：注意判断来电目的是预定房间，继而推断接电话的人是前台，题中信息(receptionist)正好证实了这一推断。

44．Nancy: Have you heard about Dana? She is going to get married with Graham! Scott:______
A．You’re kidding
B．Congratulations!
C．Is it a real thing?
D．Good luck!
正确答案：A
解析：注意，说话者是在谈论别人的事情，所以B和D项的表达法不能用；C选项不符合一般的英语习惯说法；因此正确的说法就是A选项You’re kidding!对这句话的理解就是”这是真的吗?”
45．Lucia: Do you have any tissue, Polly? Polly: Here. ______ Lucia: Thanks. I have a terrible headache. It seems to be flu.
A．What do you want to do?
B．Can I help you?
C．Are you all right?
D．I’m glad to help.
正确答案：C
解析：Lucia跟Polly要纸巾，后来又说头疼，可能得流感了。

Polly合理的反应是关切地询问，而不应该在没弄清情况时就说帮忙的话。

故不选B、D。

要纸巾显然是擦鼻子，A的提问是多余的。

46．(At a party) Adam: This is a great apartment. Tammy: I think so, too. ______? Adam: No, I’m Adam. I came with Carl. I don’t really know anyone here. Carl’s told me about most of his friends, but I can’t match the names with the faces.
A．Excuse me, but do I know you
B．Excuse me, could I know you
C．Excuse me, do you mind telling me your name
D．Excuse me, but do you know me
正确答案：A
解析：聚会上两个互不相识的人Adam和Tammy在谈话，从Adam的回答看，A选项符合对话语境，意思是“请问我们以前见过吗?”B选项与Adam的回答不一致；C、D显得唐突。

47．Jane: Do you think he will come to my birthday party? Tom: ______
A．You can count on it
B．You can depend on it
C．You may think of it
D．You may be sure of it
正确答案：A

A．Well, you don’t mind if I have one, do you?
B．OK. Go ahead and do it.
C．All tight. Take care!
D．Sorry, have another one then.
正确答案：A
解析：A选项的意思是：那么，你不介意我抽一支烟吧?这是在他人面前抽烟时一种有礼貌的请求，用在此对话的语境最恰当。

其他选项的内容与前面的说法有矛盾或不符合表达习惯。

49．Passer by: ______ ? Local resident: Sure. It’s on Elm Street, between Eleventh and Twelfth Avenue. Passer by: Thank you.
A．Help, please. Could you tell me where the post office is
B．Sorry, where is the post office, please
C．Trouble you. Could you please tell me where the post office is
D．Excuse me. Do you know where the post office is
正确答案：D
解析：下文中当地居民对地点位置的描述表明the passer by在问路。

向陌生人打探消息一开始就要说Excuse me，相当于汉语的“劳驾，请问……”。

50．Girl: Are you ready to order? Man: ______. Girl: Sure. I’ll be back in a moment.
A．Do you think I’m ready?
B．Yes, I’m ready.
C．Are you sure you’ll be back?
D．Can I have one more minute?
正确答案：D
解析：本对话为在餐馆点菜。

当服务员问”可以点莱了吗?”，顾客答”过一会点行吗?”，服务员就说”当然，我过会再来”。

D选项的”Can I have one more minute?”就是”我过一会点行吗?”的意思，最符合语境。

其他选项都不能满足所问所答的一致性要求。
