26．Could you go to bed (early) ______ than you usually do?
正确答案：earlier
解析：该题考查see在该句中的变化形式，但实际考点在前面的”look forward to”。

在该结构中，“to”是介词，后面接名词或动名词。

例如：We are looking forward to your early reply．我们盼望你早日答复。

The members are looking forward to having a meeting on Monday．会员们盼望星期一开会。

在本句中，“look forward to”后应接动名词(seeing)
27．The (late) ______ model of the racing car will be on display at the exhibition this week.
正确答案：latest
解析：本题考查形容词最高级用法。

Late的最高级是latest，其词意为“最新的”。

例如：She is singing the latest pop song．(她正在唱最新的流行歌曲。

)因此，空格处填latest。

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.
What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观主义者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up -- we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. Colors do influence our moods -- there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing.A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area -- until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
28．“You would rather follow than lead” means ______.
A．you don’t like to follow others
B．you would be a member rather than a leader
C．you would be afraid of following others
D．you would like to be a leader rather than a follower
正确答案：B
解析：根据上下文的意思进行判断“你宁愿服从也不愿领导”推出B)项正确。

29．If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer ______.
A．red to yellow
B．blue to orange
C．red to grey
D．blue to yellow
正确答案：C
解析：本题为细节推理题。

根据第二段第二句可知，红色可以带来欢乐，黄色也能使大部分人快乐。

文章第一段提到，如果你喜欢灰色，那么你往往会悲观。

因此选C)。

30．“They tell us, among other facts, that we don’t choose our favorite colors as we grow up.”“Among other facts” means “______”.
A．besides other facts
B．in regard to other facts
C．not considering other facts
D．according to other facts
正确答案：A
解析：本题为介词短语意义判断题。

“Among other facts”是插入语，表示“之中还有其他因素”。

因此选A)。

31．Which of the following is true?
A．People’s preference of one color to another is instinct.
B．People’s preference of one color to another is acquired as they grow up.
C．More people happen to love brown because they saw something brown when they were born.
D．Colors have little influence on our moods.
正确答案：A
解析：本题为推理题。

32．Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River near London to others because of ______.
A．its shape
B．its structure
C．its color
D．its building materials

A．常见的是城市的顾客不会讨价还价。

B．那个城市的顾客不会讨价还价，这是常见的。

C．顾客不大会弄清楚那个城市的商品价格。

D．那个城市的顾客买东西不看价钱，这太普遍了。

正确答案：B
解析：it为形式主语，代表的是整个从句，因此common是指从句所描述的事实，而不是城市里的人；bargain about prices意为”讨价还价”。

54．We finally agreed that each partner would pay additional costs in proportion to its investment in the project as a whole．
A．我们最终同意每个参加者按工程总体投资的比例来支付超出的费用。

B．我们最终同意，每个参加者对其工程总体投资按比例来支付另外的成本费。

C．总的来说，我们最终同意每个参加者按他们在工程上的投资比例来支付另外的成本费。

正确答案：C
55．The company has just introduced the latest computer technology into the departments of Marketing and Sales.
A．公司刚刚把最新的计算机技术推广到营销部和销售部。

B．公司刚刚让市场销售部介绍了最先进的计算机技术。

C．公司刚刚向市场销售部介绍了最新的计算机技术。

D．公司刚刚让市场销售部采用最新的计算机技术。

正确答案：A
解析：要正确理解本句，首先需正确理解introduce…into…这一结构的含义，此处introduce意为“推广，使……采用”之义，而不作“介绍”解。

另外还有一处易出现理解偏差，即departments of Marketing and Sales，因为此处departments 为复数形式，故此处应指“营销部和销售部”两个部门，另外marketing一词的含义很广。

它主要是指提供产品和服务来满足消费者的需要，sales仅仅是marketing的一部分。

结合上述分析可知。

四个选项中选项A的翻译与原文最为贴近。

选项D错将departments of Marketing and Sales理解为“市场销售部”一个部门，是不妥的；选项C除重复了选项D的错误之外，还把introduce...into...这一结构理解为introduce...to...(向……介绍)，故不及选项D；选项B理解完全错误，翻译为“让市场销售部介绍……”，事实上应该是向营销部和销售部推广，另外还错将latest(最新的)译为“最先进的”，与原意偏差最大。

56．He didn’t think it proper to tell his wife what had been discussed at the meeting.
A．他不想把会议上讨论的事情告诉他妻子也不行。

B．他觉得还是不要把会议上讨论的事情告诉妻子为好。

C．他认为把会议上所讨论的事情告诉自己的妻子是不妥的。

D．他不认为把会议上讨论的事情告诉妻子是恰当的。

正确答案：C
解析：本句是一个否定前置的宾语从句，此类句子中，虽然否定副词在主句，但实际上否定的是从句的谓语，在翻译时应注意这个问题。

因此，C选项的翻译是最准确的。

B项其实也表达了原句的意思，只是没有完全忠实于原句。

D项则是没有注意到否定前置的问题，因此译文不符合汉语的语言习惯。

A项则是意思完全同原句不符。

57．A college education is not only preparation for a career; it is also(or should be) preparation for life. In addition to courses in their major field of study, most students have time to take elective courses. They may take classes that help them understand more about human nature, government, the arts, sciences, or whatever else interests them.
正确答案：大学教育不仅是为将来所从事的职业做准备，而且(也应该)是为未来的生活做准备。

除了所选的专业课程外，大多数学生还有时间上选修课。

他们会选修一些能帮助他更多地了解人性、政治制度、艺术、科学或任何他们感兴趣的课程。
