One Way to Solve the Problem
To deal with the air pollution caused by vehicles in cities is a challenging job. My suggestion is to produce vehicles powered by solar energy.
Compared with mineral fuels such as gasoline, solar energy is inexhaustible in supply. The growth of cities and increase of vehicles call for more supply of energy, but there is a limit to the reserve of mineral fuels. So solar energy with its endless supply is one of our solutions to energy crisis. The second advantage of solar energy is its cleanliness. Traditional vehicles operating on gasoline give of exhaust, causing damage to human health and polluting the air. From the perspective of environmental protection, solar energy is a much better choice. After the new technology becomes economically feasible, the sky over cities will be brighter, and the air will no longer be a threat to our health.
Because of the two benefits of using solar energy as a new fuel, we should spend more money on the research which can make our dream come true.
News Item One
(1)Recently, a photo showing a visitor on the GreatWall last week aroused a heated discussion on theInternet. They called it the "great queue of China". Itwas, with the famous structure snaking to t hehorizon behind him completely hidden by a mass ofother tourists.
The vast imperialpalace, theForbidden City, at one point welcomed more than 180,000 visitors in a single day.

近日，一名游客上周在长城上拍的照片引起网友们热烈的讨论。

人们称其为"中国的长龙"。

那是因为这名游客身后那蜿蜒的古建筑上几乎看不到一块砖，密密麻麻地被游客们覆盖着。

故宫也一度创下单日接待18万名游客的记录。

再来看看敦煌沙漠，据悉在黄金周期间，至少两匹骆驼死于过度劳累。

据中国媒体报道：日均拥堵指数比去年上涨了30％，可谓达到历史高峰。

多数中国人选择在黄金周（五一和十一）出游，另外一个出游高峰则是在春节假期。

Conversation One
M: Where are you working these days?
W: I'm working at the restaurant around the station.
M: What's it like working in a restaurant?
W: Well, it's... busy times are busy, but boringsometimes. It's just usual work: washing dishes,serv ing. It's pretty normal, not a big deal job.
(8) I really like it, but at the same time I'mlooking for more. I think I should look for a desk job or something.
M: Oh, a desk job! You really work hard.
W: What about you? Any preference after graduation?
M: I don't know. Maybe I could work at a... maybe a clothing store.
W: Oh, really!
M: (9) I do enjoy fashion, and I need to update my wardrobe, so a little discount would benice. W: I hear that there's an opening at Bloomingdale's.
M: Oh, awesome! But... umm...
W: You should give it a try.
M: Maybe. But I'm not really a people person, though.
W: A people person? What do you mean?
M: (10) I can't just go up to new people and start talking to them. It's a little difficult for me.
W: You can make it. But in my point of view, sometimes I think that's sort of a little annoying,you know, someone just starts talking with you with words like "Oh, this looks good on you!"
M: Yes, I understand. They use some very strong mind tricks to get you to buy things.
W: Yeah. Well, you're good at mind tricks, aren't you?
M: I was good at being played by mind tricks, but now good at doing mind tricks.
W: Well, I guess you still have nine months left.

W: Good luck!
M: Thanks!
对话一
男：这阵子你在哪工作呢？
女：我在车站附近的餐馆工作。

男：在餐馆工作感觉如何？
女：忙起来的时候特别忙，有时也会闲的无聊。

就是些日常的工作：洗碗，招呼客人。

工作内容再平常不过，不值得一提。

虽然我很喜欢现在的这份工作，但我还是想换一份工作。

我觉得我应该换一份办公室或者其他什么的工作。

男：哦，办公室的工作！看来你真的很上进。

女：你呢？毕业后有什么求职意向？
男：我不知道。

也许我会去......服装店工作吧。

女：哦？真的吗！
男：我喜欢追求时尚，而且我想给我的衣柜“改头换面”，所以有折扣活动的话再好不过了。

女：我可是听说布鲁明戴尔百货店正在举办开业典礼。

男：哦，太好了！可是......呃......
女：你应该去看看。

男：试试看吧，可我不善交际。

女：不善交际？你的意思是？
男：我真的不擅长走到陌生人面前跟他们聊天。

对我来说太难了。

女：你一定可以的。

我个人认为，有时候这样的对话反而让顾客反感，有的人上来就跟你说“天哪，这件衣服跟你实在是太搭了！”
男：是的，我理解。

他们利用强烈的心理暗示说服顾客买东西。

女：对啊。

那你很擅长心理暗示，对吧？
男：对别人的心理暗示毫无抵抗力，但是自己却不擅长给别人心理暗示。

女：嗯，我觉得你要走的路还很长。

男：是啊，要对自己100%负责，的确令人沮丧。

女：那就祝你好运了！
男：多谢！
问题8 女性觉得自己的工作如何？
问题9 为什么男性想去服装店工作？
问题10 "a people person"是什么意思？
问题11 是什么让男性觉得沮丧？
【小题8】女士在对话中明确提及 I really like it, but at the same time I'm looking for more.由此可知该女士虽然喜欢这份工作，但仍在寻求更多的工作，即仍想换工作，所以选项 C与之相符。

【小题9】男士在对话中提
到 I do enjoy fashion, and I need to update my wardrobe, so a littlediscount would be nice.男士很喜欢时尚，所以想要在服装店工作，选项 A与之相符，为答案。

【小题10】男士在解释他不是 a people person 时提
及 I can't just go up to new people and starttalking to them.由此可推断 a people person 指那些容易和陌生人顺利展开交谈的人，故选项 D正确。

【小题11】女士在对话中提及 I guess you still have nine months left，结合前面女士提到
的 Anypreference after graduation？可以推测这九个月指的是离毕业还有九个月的时间，而男士此时说depressing，并说得百分百为自己负责了，可以推测男士是对即将到来的毕业以及毕业以后的出路表示沮丧，选项 B与之相符。

Conversation Two
M: What can I do for you?
W: (12) I am just filling out this graduation form forthe dean's office, and I hope I will be able togr aduate next semester.
M: Well, as long as you've met the requirements andyou hand in the form on time, you shouldn't h ave any problem. Make sure you have attendedall the classes necessary for your degree in finance and the electives too.
W: Yeah, but as I look over the form, I got confused because they've changed therequirements. So now I am not sure I will qualify for graduation next semester.
M: Well,
(13) when your department changed the curriculum to include more courses ininternational busine ss because of the increasing globalization of business,
(14) we made surethat students who have finished their second year wouldn't be affected. The new rules onlyapply to students in their first or second year.
W: That's good to know. And I want to ask about—International Banking. I took InternationalBan king I, but I never took International Banking Ⅱ. It used to be that International Banking IIwas an elective, but now it says it's a required class.
M: Yes. But that's one of the recent changes. So your graduation will not be affected. It lookslike you've met the requirements for graduation.
(15) And if there's something I need to do... IfI need to write a reference letter or whatever, just let me know.
W: OK. Thank you very much for your help. I'll let you know if I need any further information.

对话二
男士：有什么需要我帮忙的吗？
女士：我在填这份要交给教务处的毕业申请表，不知道下学期我能否满足毕业条件。

男士：只要你达到了毕业要求并及时上交这份表格，你应该没有问题。

你要确保你完成了你所修的金融学位要求的所有必修课程和选修课程。

女士：是的，但是我在浏览表格时我有些疑问，因为上面的毕业要求变了。

所以现在我不知道下学期我符不符合毕业条件。

男士：因为经济全球化程度在逐渐加深，你所在的系对学生的课程安排进行了调整，新加了更多国际商务方面的课程。

但是这一调整不会影响到已经完成大二学业的学生。

新课程表只针对大一和大二的学生的。

女士：那就太好了。

还有，关于《国际银行业务》这门课。

我上了《国际银行业务I》，但没有上《国际银行业务Ⅱ》。

《国际银行业务Ⅱ》以前是选修课，但是这上面说现在它成了必修课。

男士：是的。

但这也是最近的变化之一。

所以你毕业时不会有影响。

这上面的毕业要求你似乎都已经满足了。

那么，如果还有其他事需要我，比如如果你需要写推荐信或者其他什么，直接告诉我就行。

女士：好的。

非常感谢你的帮忙。

如果我还需要其他信息会请你帮忙的。

12.对话的主要内容是什么？
13.男士说为什么对该专业需要修的课程进行调整？

15.男士为什么提到写信？
参考答案：
【小题12】A
【小题13】B
【小题14】A
【小题15】C
习题解析：
【小题12】女士在对话中明确提及
I am just filling out this graduation form... and I hope I will beable to graduate next semester，全文中也多处提及graduation一词，据此可推断该文章是关于毕业的话题。

四个选项中只有选项A与毕业有关，为答案。

【小题13】男士在对话中提到
when your department changed the curriculum to include morecourses in international business be cause of the increasing globalization of business, because of后面表示原因，是因为日益增长的
贸易的全球化所以才增加了更多的课程，选项B中的 internationalbusiness为同义转化。

【小题14】男士在对话中提到
we made sure that students who have finished their second yearwouldn't be affected。

结合前面女士说到的下学期毕业，由此可以判断新的要求不会对女士的毕业产生影响，选项A正确。

【小题15】在对话结尾的时候，男士提到if there's something I need to do..., just let me know。

是一种愿意为对方以后的要求服务的一种说法，因此选项C为答案。

Passage One
(16) A famous building in New York City is turning101 years old this year. A celebration is plann ed forGrand Central Terminal which is usually called GrandCentral Station. The huge building has not changedmuch since it opened in February,
1913. About750,000 people pass through Grand Central everyday. Some just come to look at it, ot hers to visit the stores. But most are there to catch thetrains that enter and leave from the station. It is the largest train station in the world. Thereare 67 train tracks, all of them underground.
(17) The main part of the building has large,arched windows, a jeweled four-sided clock and ticket windows. Grand Central has been seen inmany movies through the years.

It's a mirror im age. Justin Ferate, a historian, has beengiving tours of Grand Central Station for 30 years. He says the station was designed to maketravel a pleasure and (18) he also believes the building was desig ned for large numbers ofpeople. A ten-year-long fight against plans to build a huge office building over Grand Central in1968 helped create the modern preservation movement. Now, no one would think ofchanging the beauty of the station.

短文一
纽约有栋建筑今年已经101岁了。

人们计划为这座经常被称为“中央车站”的纽约大中央车站总站举办一次纪念活动。

自1913年建立以来，这座建筑几乎仍保持着原样。

纽约中央车站每天的客流量高达75万人次。

其中有来参观车站的游客，有来逛商店的顾客。

但大多数人为进出站的旅客。

纽约中央车站是世界上最大的火车站。

地下建有67道铁轨。

车站内部有大型的拱形窗,镶嵌着宝石的四面钟以及售票窗口。

多年来，这座车站频频在各大影片中“露脸”。

丹·布鲁克已经在中央车站的高速运输管理部门工作了30年。

尽管在此呆了这么多年，但他对这座车站的喜爱丝毫未减。

据布鲁克介绍，这座车站是20世纪的建筑。

匆忙穿梭在车站里的人们并未注意到头顶上富丽堂皇的天花板——星空穹顶，所绘的图案与天空是完全相反的。

其实这是利用镜面反射的创新性构思。

贾斯汀.费雷德（Justin Ferate）是一位历史学家，连续30年雷打不动地赶来参观这座车站。

他表示如此人性化的设计让旅途变得愉快，他也相信此车站是为大多数旅客而设计的。

1968年，为阻止铁路公司拆除大中央车站以兴建办公大楼，民众掀起了一项长达十年的“保护现代建筑”的抗议活动。

如今，再也没有人想改变车站的原貌了。

16.人们打算庆祝什么？
17.关于车站，我们可以了解到什么信息？
18.人们不再想要改变车站面貌的原因是？
参考答案：
【小题16】B
【小题17】D
【小题18】B
习题解析：
【小题16】此题问到人们计划庆祝什么。

短文中提
到 Afamous building... turning 101 years old this year. A celebration is planned for Grand Central Terminal... 即“一座著名的建筑物今年即将101 岁了，人们正在计划为纽约中央车站进行庆祝活动”。

选项B与之相符，为答案。

【小题17】短文中提到...the magnificent celestial ceiling above them... It's a mirror image.即“人们头顶的富丽堂皇的天花板是一个镜像。

”选项 D与此内容匹配，为正确答案。

其他三项均属错误信息。

【小题18】此题问到什么让人们放弃了要改动这个车站的想法。

答案出现在文章结尾处，即 A ten-year-longfight against plans... helped create the modem preservation movement.意为“一项长达十年的、反对在中央车站上盖办公楼计划的运动促成了现代的保护运动。

”也就是说，是上一次想要改变该车站计划的破灭造成了这一结果，因此，正确答案为选项 B。

Passage Two
People who want to become lawyers traditionallyattend three years of law school.
(19) Like medicalstudents, many law students are deeply in debt bythe time they finish their Juris Doctor, or JD degree.Those who take out loans borrow an average ofaround 125,000 dollars to att end a private school. The average for public law school is about75,000 dollars.
Almost all graduates must pass a bar examination to get a license to practice law.
(20) This isa professional test administered by states. New York University Law School professor, SamuelEstreicher, has written a paper about bar exam requirements.
(21) Professor Estreichersuggests that more students should be allowed to take the bar exam after t wo years of lawschool. He notes that this was more common in the past. He also suggests a morep rofessional instead of a more academic program of study. Learning more aboutprofessional skills, he says, would better prepare a lawyer to serve the needs of averageAmericans.
Some schools offer a two-year program, in addition to three-year traditional courses of study. (22) Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago became the country's first top law schoolt o add an accelerated program——that was in 2009. Northwestern has the same requirementsfor ac celerated students as for three years students. They must learn the same material andpay the same price as students in the traditional program.
Some lawyers argue against two year programs. They question whether many law firms wouldwan t to hire lawyers without that third year of law school.
19. What situation may the most law students be in after graduation?
20. Who administers the bar exam?
21. What suggestions does Prof. Estreicher make?
22. What kind of program does Northwestern University School of Law provide?
短文二
一般情况下，想成为律师的学生需要在法学院学习三年。

和医学专业的学生一样，很多法学专业的学生读完法学博士或者拿到法学学位后都债台高筑。

学生平均需贷款12.5万美元才能在私立学校就读。

而公办的法学院则需要贷款7.5万美元。

所有的法学院毕业生需要通过律师执业资格考试拿到从业许可证。

律师执业资格考试是由州一级的机构实施执行的。

纽约大学法学院教授塞缪尔·埃斯特赖歇写了一篇关于司法考试要求的论文。

他建议应该允许更多的法学学生在人学两年后就参加执业考试。

这种情况在过去很常见。

他还建议在学习过程中应该更加注重专业技能而非学术理论。

掌握的专业技能越多，就可以更好的为美国人民提供服务。

传统的法学院一般为三年制，有的学校推出了两年制。

2009年，芝加哥西北大学法学院成为美国首个纳入了快速课程体系的顶尖学院。

西北大学法学院此举意在让法学专业学生提前修完三年课程，学生所学的知识与付出的代价与传统法学院的学生无异。

有些律师反对两年制的课程体系，他们怀疑律师事务所是否会雇佣没有完成三年制法学课程的毕业生。

19. 法学院的学生毕业后面临着什么样的困境？
20. 什么机构负责司法考试？
21. 埃斯特赖歇教授提出了什么建议？
22. 芝加哥西北大学法学院开设了什么课程体系？
参考答案：
【小题19】A
【小题20】C
【小题21】B
【小题22】D
习题解析：
【小题19】短文开篇就提及法学专业学生的高昂学
费，...many law students are deeply in debt by thetime they finish their Juris Doctor, or JD degree 即“很多法学专业的学生读完法学博士或者拿到法学学位后都债台高筑”，所以答案为选
项 A。

【小题20】短文中明确提到 This is a professional test administered by states.意为“律师执业资格考试是由州一级的机构实施执行的”，故选项 C为答案。

【小题21】短文中提到 Prof. Estreicher 的论文时讲了两点建议。

其中一点
是...more students should beallowed to take the bar exam after two years of law school，即“应该允许更多的法学学生在人学两年后就参加执业考试。

”因为法学专业一般是三年制，也就是说，Estreicher 教授建议允许法学学生提前参加考试，因此答案为选项 B。

【小题22】短文中提到 Northwestern University School of Law... to add an accelerated program...即“西北大学法学院纳入了快速课程体系……”，可推测这个体系可以让学生能在短期内完成学业，故选项 D正确。

选项中的 lasts for a shorter time 与原文中的 accelerated 相对应。

Passage Three
If you're studying a foreign language,
(23) you'llknow that learning vocabulary can often be apainstaking process. After all, there are tho usandsupon thousands of words, expressions and idioms tolearn. But sometimes, new words appea r that canconfuse even native speakers. Each year, a new set of words and expression is added to t hedictionary, reflecting the changing tastes and habits of a nation.
(24) Members of the public were invited to submit new words and phrases to the Collins onlinedic tionary, around 80 of which were chosen to appear in the new edition. They range fromslang or co lloquial terms, to words describing food, technology or scientific ideas. For example,if you've hap py about a situation, perhaps you might be "made up"; if not, you may end uptelling someone to "j og on", or go away. Some of the words added may be a little more familiar.
"Facebook" is one of the world's biggest social media websites, so it's not surprising that it hasmad e it into the dictionary. Similarly, terms such as "SMS" and "Twitterer" reflect the ever-advancing technological age in which we live. Maybe you know a "bridezilla", a play on words todescribe a woman whose behavior in planning her wedding is intolerable.
(25) If you're healthconscious, you might be filling your supermarket pushcart with super foods.
Sometimes, learning a language can be tough and, with new words being added all the time,don't p anic if you find that you've forgotten the name of something. Now, you can safely call itan oojama flip, instead.
23. What makes learning a foreign language difficult?
24. How does the Colins online dictionary collect new words?
25. What does "super foods" probably mean?
短文三
如果学习一门外语，你会发现词汇学习是一道难以攻克的关卡。

毕竟，学习外语会遇到成千上万的词汇、短语和习语。

有时甚至连说母语的人都理解不了一些新兴词汇含义。

每年，字典中都会新增一些单词和短语，以反映一个国家不断变化的文化和生活习惯。

柯林斯在线词典修订词条时曾向广大民众征询关于新兴词汇，短语等意见，其中有80多个提议被采纳并编纂到新版词典中。

包括俚语或俗语，描述食物的新式词汇还有一些技术或科学的观点。

比如说，如果你今天比较高兴，你就可以用“made up”，反之，你就可以用"jog on"告诉别人离你远点或走开。

有的新兴词汇也许大家已经耳熟能详。

“Facebook”是全球社交媒体巨头之一，因此该词被收录到词典中不足为奇。

同样，像“SMS”，“Twitterer”这类能够反映先进科技时代的词汇也被收录。

还有就是“bridezilla”一词，专指在准备婚礼筹备过程中过分亲力亲为的新娘子。

若你对健康问题十分在意，你可能会去超市会购买一整篮的superfoods。

学习一门语言虽然很难，况且还有新式词语不断涌现，但如果你实在想不起来物体的名称也不要惊慌。

不妨用“oojamaflip”一词来代替。

23.为什么说学习外语困难重重？
24.柯林斯在线词典如何收集新兴词汇？
25."super foods"是什么意思？
参考答案：
【小题23】A
【小题24】B
【小题25】D
习题解析：
【小题23】短文中提到人们在学习外语时感到困难，主要原因是单词数量巨大，故答案为A
【小题24】短文中明确指出柯林斯在线词典在修订词条时，是以大众的推荐为主进行选择，也可以说他们征求了普通民众的意见。

因此答案为B。

【小题25】此题是针对 super foods 的意思进行提问。

短文在提到 super foods 一词时，提到 If you'rehealth conscious, you might be filling your supermarket pushcart with super foods.即“那些对健康问题十分在意的人们去超市会购买 super foods”，由此推测，super foods 指的应该是对健康有益的食品。

因此答案为选项 D。

46． C 本题问作者对混合编班持什么态度，属主旨性问题。

作者在文章第一句就已表明，他们不认为混合式教学对聪明的孩子会有多大妨碍。

第二段第一句又表明了作者对按智力编班持反对态度。

第二段最后一句更明确指出，混合编班有利于各种能力和素质的培养。

47．D 本题为词汇题。

“held back”在这里意为“阻挡、阻止...发展”。

48．B本题为推理题。

要答对此题，考生应读懂文章第二段的内容。

该段讲，intellectualability或academicability只是 totalpersonality（总体素质）的一部分，该段还讲，我们也重视个人品质和社会能力的培养，这也是total personality 中的一部分。

因此，可以推断，教师们主要应当关心学生们totalpersonality的发展。

49． D 细节题。

A项和C项在第三段都已提到，而B项
learn to develop their reasoningability则包含在该段
Theyalso learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learn how to thi nk,to makedecisions, to analyse and evaluate的意思之中。

D项是该段唯一没有提到的。

50． A 本题为主旨题。

B、C、D项均为混班教学的一些具体作法，不能以偏概全，因此不能说是作者写此文的目的。

作者在文章中列举了一些事例来说明按能力编班的弊端，同时也提出了混合编班的好处，因此，A项应是作者写此文的目的。

做完这道题后，考生要详细对照答案，看看参考答案后面的解释，总结自己出错原因并及时改正。
