Part II Structure (10 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your ability to use words and phrases correctly to construct meaningful and grammatically correct sentences.It consists of 2 sections.
Section ADirections: There are 10 incomplete statements here.You are required to complete each statement by choosing the appropriate answer from the 4 choices marked A),B),C) and D).
21.Having a trip around the country is certainly good for the old couple, but it remains______ whether they will enjoy it.
A.to see
B.to be seen
D.seen
正确答案:B
解析:本题考查固定用法。
it remains to be seen为固定用法,意思为“尚不确定,说不准”,but后面的分句是一个含有主语从句的复合句,it为这一复合句的形式主语,真正的主语为whether they will enjoy it,故答案为B)。
22.It was suggested that the construction______ahead of time.
A.is completed
B.was completed
C.be completed
D.must complete
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查虚拟语气。
虚拟语气用在包含suggest,demand,propose等表示建议、命令等的主语从句、宾语从句中时,从句谓语动词常为“(should+)动词原形”。
又由于从句中的主语the construction与后面的动词是被动关系,故本题答案为C)。
23.Only when class began______that he had lost his bag in the street.
A.will he realize
B.he did realize
C.did he realize
D.should he realize
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查倒装结构。
当“only+状语/状语从句”位于句首时,主句要用部分倒装结构,即将助动词或情态动词放在主语前面,且主句的时态为过去时,所以答案为C)。
24.All the preparations for the task______, and we re ready to start.
A.completed
B.complete
C.have completed
D.have been completed
正确答案:D
解析:本题考查现在完成时的被动语态。
表示已经发生的动作对现在产生的影响时,应用现在完成时态。
All the preparations和complete之间是被动关系,所以应用被动语态,因此空格处应用现在完成时的被动语态,所以答案为D)。
25.Do you know______they talked about yesterday evening?
A.what
C.why
D.how
正确答案:A
解析:本题考查宾语从句。
本题空格处所填词既要能引导一个从句作know 的宾语,又能作talked about的宾语,这种情况下,只能用what,故选A)。
26.Many a specialist______ looking forward to attending that conference now and they______ plants in the last two years to prepare for it.
A.is: have been studying
B.is: has been studying
C.are: have been studying
D.is: are studying
正确答案:A
解析:本题考查主谓一致。
many a意为“很多”,但它强调个体,即“每一个”,因此谓语动词应用单数形式。
句中的时间状语是in the last two years,说明句中谓语动词表示的动作发生在过去;结合句意可知,这一动作从两年前开始一直持续到现在,将来可能还会继续,因此第二个空格所在分句应用现在完成进行时,故A)正确。
27.I don’t think you can finish the project in one month, ______?
A.don’t I
B.can I
C.can you
D.can’t you
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查反义疑问句。
对于含有宾语从句的主从复合句,若陈述句为I/we(don’t)+think,believe,expect等表示想法、意见、猜测的动词+宾语从句,反义疑问句的谓语动词和主语应同宾语从句的谓语动词和主语保持一致。
如果主句是否定式,反义疑问句要用肯定式;如果主句是肯定式,反义疑问句要用否定式。
因此,本题答案为C)。
28.Tracy said the work would be done by July, ______personally I doubt very much.
A.it
B.that
C.when
D.which
正确答案:D
解析:本题考查定语从句。
分析句子结构可知,逗号后应是一个which引导
的非限制性定语从句,which既指代前面整个句子,同时又作后面句子中doubt 的宾语,故答案为D)。
29.On weekends there are a lot of children playing in the park, ______parents seated together joking.
A.their
B.whose
C.which
D.that
正确答案:A
解析:本题考查独立主格结构。
seat作动词时,意为“(房间、车辆、桌子等)坐得下……人,能提供给……座位”,主语为人时,句子用被动语态,因此空格后的动词seated不是谓语,而是seat这个动词的过去分词,即非谓语动词,由此可知逗号后面的成分在本句作独立主格结构,所以答案为A)。
30.Tom said in his letter that he would appreciate______from you as soon as possible.
A.to have heard
B.to hear
C.for hearing
D.hearing
正确答案:D
解析:本题考查动名词。
即appreciate doing sth.是常考用法,表示“感激做某事”,只有D)符合要求。
Section BDirections: There are also 5 incomplete statements here.You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets.31.He might have been taken into prison now if he(join) ______the kidnappers.
正确答案:had joined
解析:本题考查虚拟语气。
从句由if引导,表示的是虚拟语气。
主句用的是“might+have+过去分词”结构,那么从句就表示与过去事实相反的假设,应用过去完成时,所以空格处应填入had joined。
32.During the holidays, the concert enjoys huge(popular)______despite the high ticket price.
正确答案:popularity
解析:本题考查词形转换。
分析句子结构可知,空格处作enjoys的宾语,因此应为名词,所以空格处应填popular对应的名词形式popularity。
33.He is an excellent athlete, and all his movements are(beauty) ______.
正确答案:beautiful
解析:本题考查词形转换。
根据空格前的are可以判断,空格处应填入形容词beautiful作表语。
34.The(hard) ______I try, the more impossible it seems to overcome the shyness.
正确答案:harder
解析:本题考查副词比较级。
解答本题的关键是正确理解句子后半部分的the more impossible,由此可以判断这是“the+比较级,the+比较级”的固定句型。
因此,空格处应填入hard的比较级形式harder。
35.(catch) ______cheating by the teacher in the exam, David scored zero in math exam.
正确答案:Caught
解析:本题考查非谓语动词。
逗号后的主句主谓宾结构完整,因此可知空格处为非谓语动词。
主语David与catch为逻辑上的被动关系,可知这里应用catch 的过去分词形式,注意首字母要大写。
Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.You’d think Pauline Hord would have served her time by now. After all, she recently celebrated her 90th birthday, and by the time she achieved that breathtaking(激动人心的) milestone, she’d already done a 10-year stretch in the Mississippi State Prison. Ms. Hord is a sweet-natured, gentle-talking, white-haired Southerner who never owed a debt to society—thus, she never had to pay one. So you have to wonder what a woman like this is doing in a place where most people are itching to get loose. Unlike the rest of the population, Ms. Hord goes to prison freely and eagerly. And when she gets there, she persuades prisoners of every sort to sing little ditties(短歌谣) about their ABCs and XYZs. At age 80, Ms. Hord began teaching prisoners to read during a chance visit to the State Prison with a lawyer friend. “When I got there, I heard that a group of volunteer workers had been praying for a teacher. They asked me if I would come and I said I would be thrilled(非常激动的),”she said. On a personal level, Ms. Hord considers this rewarding work. “If you get at the reason why these men went into crime, you will
find that none of them succeeded in their early years of schooling. They went to school at 5 believing they were going to learn to read. When they didn’t learn in the first or second grade, they realized something was wrong. By 8, they were having problems. By 12 or 13, they were drinking or using drugs. And it’s getting worse. I’m seeing younger and younger prisoners who know less and less. They can’t read well enough to function in this society,” she said. It is this situation that Ms. Hord goes to prison week after week to correct. And when her most difficult students finally begin to read, she is sure that she, too, knows why the caged birds sing.
36.Ms. Hord goes to prison eagerly to______.
A.sing songs for the prisoners
B.teach the prisoners to read
C.pray for the prisoners
D.make friends with the prisoners
正确答案:B
解析:文章第二段末句提到了唱歌,可能有些考生会误选A)。
随着阅读的深入,我们会发现文章第四、五段多次出现了read,尤其是根据文章最后一段可以推断,霍德夫人去监狱的目的是教囚犯认字。
所以答案为B)。
37.Judging from the context, “itching”(Line 3, Para. 2) most probably means “______”.
A.afraid
B.unwilling
C.reluctant
D.eager
正确答案:D
解析:本题的解题关键是要根据上下文理解第二段第二句,句中的 a place 指的是“监狱”。
在监狱里,人们当然是渴望自由的,故D)为答案。
38.According to Ms. Hord, the root of crimes lies in______.
A.racial discrimination
B.poor living conditions
C.lack of proper education
D.addiction to alcohol or drugs
正确答案:C
解析:根据文章第四段第二句可知,这些囚犯走向犯罪的原因在于他们的早期教育不成功,即学校教育的缺乏是犯罪的根源,故答案选C)。
39.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
A.Many people volunteered to join Ms. Hord in her work.
B.Most of the prisoners had no desire to learn as a child.
C.Ms. Hord found it impossible to teach some prisoners.
D.Ms. Hord took up her volunteer job by chance.
正确答案:D
解析:由第三段首旬可知,霍德夫人80岁时,曾和一位律师朋友偶然拜访州立监狱,从那时起,她开始教囚犯认字。
由此可以推出,她是由于一个偶然的机会开始做这个工作的。
所以答案为D)。
40.Ms. Hord regarded her job as______.
A.unique
B.valuable
C.interesting
D.tough
正确答案:B
解析:由第四段首句可知,霍德夫人认为这个工作是有价值的,选项B)valuable与原文中的rewarding意思相近,因此答案为B)。
Task 2Directions:This task is the same as Task 1.The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
“Avoid the rush-hour” must be the slogan of large cities all over the world. Wherever you look, it’s people, people, people. The streets are so crowded that there is hardly room to move: when a bus arrives, it’s so full that it can’t take any more passengers. The extraordinary thing is not that people put up with these conditions, but that they actually choose them in preference to anything else. Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. What is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The funny thing about it all is that you pay dearly for the “privilege”of living in a city. The demand for accommodation is so great that high rents must be paid for tiny flats which even country hens would scorn(不屑于接受) to live in. Accommodation apart, the cost of living is very high. Just about everything you buy is likely to be more expensive than it would be in the country. In addition to all these, city inhabitants live under constant threats. The crime rate in most cities is very high. If you think about it, they’re not really fit to live in at all. Can anyone really doubt that the country is what man was born for and where he truly belongs?
41.It can be learned from the first paragraph that______.
A.city inhabitants can not take buses in rush hours
B.city inhabitants can not bear the traffic conditions of cities
C.city inhabitants pay more attention to traffic conditions
D.city inhabitants are willing to bear the bad traffic conditions
正确答案:D
解析:文章第一段主要讲城市的交通拥挤问题。
该段末句提到,让人惊奇的不是人们能够忍受这些状况,而是他们宁愿选择这样的状况也不要任何其他的。
由此可知,人们愿意忍受交通拥挤,因此答案为D)。
42.In the passage, the author mentions all these things EXCEPT______.
A.bad traffic conditions
B.lack of security
C.pollution caused by air-conditioners
D.the high cost of living
正确答案:C
解析:在第二段,作者提到air-conditioned,主要是强调城市中,人们在有空调设备的房子里几乎感觉不到四季的变化,而不是谈论环境污染,所以答案为C)。
43.We can infer that the word “it”(Line 2, Para. 4) refers to______.
A.the high crime rate in most cities
B.the disadvantage of living in cities
C.the advantage of living in cities
D.the constant threat
正确答案:A
解析:文章第四段第二、三句提到,在大多数城市,犯罪率都很高,如果你考虑到这一点,大城市一点也不适合居住。
根据句意,可以推断原文中的it指代的是前一句的内容,因此答案为A)。
44.The main idea of this passage is that______.
A.there are many disadvantages of living in cities
B.people’s preference for living in cities is reasonable
C.the living conditions of cities are worse than those of countries
D.measures should be taken to improve the living conditions in cities
正确答案:A
解析:从整篇文章来看,作者在每一段都谈到了在城市居住的不利因素,因此文章主要讨论的是在城市居住有很多不利因素,所以答案为A)。
45.What is the author’s attitude towards living in cities?
A.Unconcerned.
B.Critical.
C.Sympathetic.
D.Envious.
正确答案:B
解析:本题考查作者对在城市居住持什么态度。
全文主要讲了在城市居住的不利因素:交通拥挤、四季变化感觉不明显和犯罪率高等。
再结合文章末段倒数第二句可以判断,作者对在城市居住持批评和不赞同的态度,所以答案为B)。
Task 3Directions:The following is a passage.After reading it,you are required to complete the blanks below it(No.46 through No.50).You should write your answers briefly in no more than three words.
When you are writing business letters, you need to notice the following tips: Limit Them to One Page By definition, business letters should be short and to the point, preferably one page in length. Studies have found that busy business people do not like to read beyond the first page, and will actually delay reading longer letters. Keep Them Formal and Factual Generally speaking, the tone and content of business letters should be formal and factual. Feelings and emotion do not have a place in business letters. Carefully Plan Your Letter Before writing the letter, take a few minutes to list all of the specific points you need to cover. Remember, the purpose of the letter is to tie up all of the details on the subject at hand, so that more letters won’t have to be written back and forth. Be Customer Friendly When writing directly to customers, always focus on their needs and wishes. Think in their way and imagine what it would be like receiving your letter. Use Non-discriminatory Language Make sure that you avoid language that is specific to gender, race or religion in all business letters, either to other businesses or to customers. For example, use “workforce”instead of “manpower”, or “chairperson”rather than “chairman”. Tips for Writing a Business LetterLength: 1) Be【R1】______ and to the point 2) One page is preferred Contents: 1) Be【R2】______ and factual 2)【R3】______ the points before writing Purpose: To【R4】______ all of the details Requirements: 1) Always focus on customers’needs and wishes 2) Think in customers’ way Language: Avoid language that is specific to【R5】______ 46.【B1】

本题关键在于正确翻译professional和hair-care,同时注意对paying as much attention to…as to…的把握。
professional的意思是“专业的”,hair-care的意思是“护发”。
paying as much attention to...as to...是在短语paying attention to中嵌入了同级比较的as…as…,可以翻译成“既关注……,又关注……”或者“在关注……的同时,也关注……”。

本题关键在于正确理解looking forward to,assure和orders的意思,同时注意that引导的宾语从句的译法。
短语looking forward to的意思是“盼望,期待”,assure的意思是“使确信;保证”,orders在本句中的意思为“订单”,而不是“命令”。
that引导的宾语从句虽然没有使用被动句的形式,但是具有被动句的意思,可以转译成主语为“我方”的主动句,译作“我方会及时、认真地处理贵方的订单”。

正确答案:C

本题关键在于正确翻译eating habits和make…sense,把握so…that…结构和it作形式主语的用法。
eating habits的意思是“饮食习惯”,make sense的意思是“有意义,有道理”,so…that…结构表示“如此……以至于……”。
it在句中作形式主语,真正的主语为不定式短语to include…,翻译时应注意将真正的主语还原到主语的位置上。
