D On account of
【正确答案】：C
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
近义辨析。

although虽然(多用于正式文体，语气较强，只用于表示事实的让步状语从句中，叙述的是已成立的事实)；however然而(较正式，虽与but意思相同，但比but弱，且把相反的概念放到极为次要的地位，因此常常用来做插入语，还可较婉转地引出最后决定或结论)；because是从属连词，多表示所叙述的理由是本句的重点，引导原因状语从句；on account of因为，由于(引导名词形短语，不能引导从句)；所以C为答案。

A．disorderly混乱地，无秩序地；B．time-consuming花费大量时间的；C．fruitless不结果实的；D．unexciting不令人兴奋的；“充满压力的生活”当然应是“难以令人兴奋及无趣的”了；所以答案为D。

clue线索；因此选项B为答案。

【正确答案】：B
【本题分数】：1.0分

A don't I
B do I
C did it
D didn't it
【正确答案】：D
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
结构应用。

本句考察的是反意疑问句的用法：陈述句谓语用肯定形式，疑问句谓语要用否定形式，因此选项B、C均不对；陈述句强调的谓语动词是ended，所以反意疑问句应为didn't it，选项D是答案。

第3题
All mammals have hair, but not always evident.
A but it is not
B but it is
C but they are not
D but they are
【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
结构应用。

此句意为：所有的哺乳动物都有毛发，但并不明显。

but引导的句子主语应是指代前面所提的整件事，而不是前句主语all mammals；因此主语应用it；如用选项B，本句就不能用but连接了；因此只有选项A是答案。

第4题

A does much harm ... smoking
B will do as much harm ... cigarettes
C will be doing as much harm ... smoking
D does as much harm ... cigarettes
【正确答案】：B
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
结构应用。

此句是一个带有原级比较as…as的句型结构，比较结构后面的as
是连接词，不是副词；前一个空白处的比较成分中应有从属连词as，第二个空白处应填入一个和drug词性相同的成分；因此选项A和C均不对；又因“计算机对人类健康带来危害”是科学家的推测，不是既定事实，因此用一般将来时，所以选项D也不对。

第5题
When an organism is completely encapsulated and preserved, it becomes a fossil, therefore turning into evidence of things that once lived.
A thereby
B as a result of
C so
D in the end
【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
副词应用。

Therefore和thereby均为副词，表“因此”，但therefore后通常跟一个句子；而thereby后常接现在分词作状语。

as a result of由于(as a result才表“因此”)，因此A为答案。

第6题

A broke away
B broke down
C broke
D broken down
【正确答案】：C
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
动词搭配。

break up打碎，终止，驱散；break away突然离开，放弃(习惯等)；break down毁掉，制服，中止；而本句要表达的意思是：……令训狮员非常伤心；所以应用break one's heart，选项C正确。

第7题
Having finished lunch, the case was discussed .
A they discussed the case
B they had discussed the case
C the case was discussed
D the case had been discussed
【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
结构应用。

现在分词短语作状语时，其逻辑主语应与句中主语一致。

句中只能是they在discuss，分词逻辑主语是they，句子主语也应是they；所以选项c、D 均不对；而前半句用的是现在分词的完成式，表示动作发生在谓语动词表示的动作之前，所以选项A是答案。

第8题
Unlike competitive running , race walkers must always keep some portion of their feet in contact with the ground.
A run
B runner
C runners
D running race
【正确答案】：C
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
名词应用。

本句意为：跟赛跑者不一样，竞走者必须始终使脚的某一部分接触地面。

在此相比较的是赛跑者与竞走者，因此答案应在B、C中选择，又因主语race walkers是复数，所以选项C是答案。

第9题
The professor is quite difficult pleased .
A to please
B to be pleased
C for pleasing
D pleasing
【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
结构应用。

此句是用动词不定式作主语：To please the professor is difficult．此句常写作： It is difficult to please the professor．因此答案为A。

第10题
The hard, out surface of the tooth is called enamel.
A outside
B appearance
C outer
D hiding
【正确答案】：C
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
形容词应用。

outside和outer均有“外部的”意思。

但outside一般指物体的外表或表面；而outer指一种相对性，即相对于内部而言的外部或外表；appearance外貌，外观；hiding隐匿；在此指牙齿的外表面，是相对于内部而言的，因此选项C为答案。

第11题
The government has hardly taken measures to crack down on these crimes when new ones occurred.
A Hardly had the government taken
B The government had hardly taken
C Hardly the government had taken
D The government is hardly taking
【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
结构应用。

此句是倒装句hardly…when的用法。

从属连词no sooner…than，hardly…when，scarcely…when／before通常需在主句中采用部分倒装的形式。

这种句型一般用过去完成时，强调一个动作紧跟在一个动作后面发生……此句意为“原有的犯罪行为还没得到制裁，新的犯罪行为又出现了。

”所以选项A正确。

第12题
When they broke open the door, they found a strange man lied on the floor unconscious.
A lay
B laid
C lain
D lying
【正确答案】：D
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
副词应用。

根据本句内容，划线部分应填部分是分词作宾语补足语；因此处宾补与宾语(a strange man)之间是主动关系，所以应填现在分词，选项D是答案。

四、Reading Comprehension（共25小题,共25.0分）In this section you will find after each of the passages a number of questions or unfinished statements about the passage, each with four (A, B, C and D) suggested answers or ways of finishing. You must choose the one which you think fits best.
第1题
Phyllis Wheatley is regarded as America''s first black poet. She was born in Senegal, Africa, about 1753 and brought to America aboard a slave ship at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave auction in Boston in 1761 to be a personal servant of Mrs. Wheatley. The family had three other slaves, and all were treated with respect. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley''s twin 15-year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston. Mary wanted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis''s education. Phyllis soon displayed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually, Mrs. Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian. At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation after she wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common practice in Boston to have "Mrs. Wheatley''s Phyllis" read poetry in polite society. Mary married in 1771, and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health, as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer''s three children. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis''s poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren''t interested.
Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London. It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors died in 1777, and Mary died in 1778, Phyllis was freed as a slave. She married in 1778, moved away from Boston, and had three children. But after
the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty at the age of thirty.
What does the passage mainly discuss?
A Slavery and the treatment of the black people in America.
B The Wheatley family, including their slaves.
C The life of America's first black poet.
D The achievements of Phyllis Wheatley.
【正确答案】：C
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
主旨题型。

本文首先谈及她是美国第一个黑人诗人，后描写了她出生在非洲，被贩卖黑奴的船只带到美国，被John and Susannah Wheatley买去，与其他黑奴一样在这家受到尊重；跟从John and Susannah Wheatley的女儿Mary受教育……；十三岁写出她的第一首诗……；后结婚生子，最终三十岁时穷困而死；因此选项C是答案。

【本题分数】：1.0分

从第一段可以看出她虽被卖为奴隶，却受到良好的对待，甚至不久就被当作是家庭的一员(Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family)，因此respect在此应为consideration体贴，照顾；选项A正确。

其余几个选项全是反义。

【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
推断题型。

由第三段第二句(It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health．)可知这只是人们的希望，并不见得能实现；因此选项A为答案。

to________.

【正确答案】：D
【本题分数】：1.0分

A She would have been more recognized as a poet if she had not been black.
B She would have written poetry if she had stayed in Africa.
C She went unrecognized as a poet during her lifetime.

【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：1.0分
【答案解析】
主旨题型。

根据全文得知：她才华横溢，十二岁时即能看希腊、罗马名著和圣经，十三岁时写出第一首诗……；但当出版商们得知她是黑人就对她不感兴趣了……。

因此我们可总结出：如果她不是黑人，她会得到更多的认可。

选项A
正确。

第11题
Electronic mail has become an extremely important and popular means of communication.
The convenience and efficiency of electronic mail are threatened by the extremely rapid growth in the volume of unsolicited commercial electronic mail. Unsolicited commercial electronic mail is currently estimated to account for over half of all electronic mail traffic, up from an estimated 7 percent in 2001, and the volume continues to rise. Most of these messages are fraudulent or deceptive in one or more respects. The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic mail may result in costs to recipients who cannot refuse to accept such mail and who incur costs for the storage of such mail, or for the time spent accessing, reviewing, and discarding such mail, or for both. The receipt of a large number of unwanted messages also decreases the convenience of electronic mail and creates a risk that wanted electronic mail messages, both commercial and noncommercial, will be lost, overlooked, or discarded amidst the larger volume of unwanted messages, thus reducing the reliability and usefulness of electronic mail to the recipient. Some commercial electronic mail contains material that many recipients may consider vulgar or pornographic in nature.
The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail imposes significant monetary costs on providers of Internet access services,
businesses, and educational and nonprofit institutions that carry and receive such mail, as there is a finite volume of mail that such providers, businesses, and institutions can handle without further investment in infrastructure. Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully disguise the source of such mail.
Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully include misleading information in the messages'' subject lines in order to induce the recipients to view the messages. While some senders of commercial electronic mail messages provide simple and reliable ways for recipients to reject (or ''opt-out'' of) receipt of commercial electronic mail from such senders in the future, other senders provide no such ''opt-out'' mechanism, or refuse to honor the requests of recipients not to receive electronic mail from such senders in the future, or both. Many senders of bulk unsolicited commercial electronic mail use computer programs to gather large numbers of electronic mail addresses on an automated basis from Internet websites or online services where users must post their addresses in order to make full use of the website or service.
The problems associated with the rapid growth and abuse of unsolicited commercial electronic mail cannot be solved by the government alone. The development and adoption of technological approaches and the pursuit of cooperative efforts with other countries will be necessary as well.

第21题
Texans have bursting pride and love attention. They also have a thick streak of shortsighted greed and, even by American standards, a busted disposition to violence. When they hear this sort of criticism they usually ascribe it to the ignorance and jealousy of stuffy Yankees who have not spent enough time in the state to understand it. For such avowedly robust people they are surprisingly sensitive. They hated Edna Ferber''s novel Giant, which scourged Texan vulgarity, racism and the mores of millionaires, but they bought it in great quantities and packed cinemas to see the film. They would rather be talked about than not, and if you do not talk about them they do it for you.
In claiming special qualities for themselves, Texans have had to become reconciled to the fact that a large number of them are not native. In the last century "Gone to Texas" was a commonplace graffito daubed on barns in other states, and in recent years "Gone to Texas" has, figuratively, been written on the front doors of millions of Americans and also Mexicans. In the early 1980s newcomers accounted for nearly two-thirds of the state''s population increase. But Texans do not believe they are being diluted. They maintain that Texanhood, or Texianism, is a matter of attitude and that Texanic qualities exist in abundance in many Americans, regardless of their birthplace: it is when these people are planted in Texas, and nourished by its atmosphere, that they flower like true Texans. A man may not be born in Texas, which is unfortunate; but he can be born to be Texan.
Many Alaskans are urban, young and raising families, here for a while, and trying to make money before moving to somewhere warmer. But many are staying. While most remain in Anchorage and other centers, some set out to build a cabin in the wilderness and live by hunting, trapping and fishing, learning how to skin a muskrat and moose, how to survive terrible weather, how to be truly in tune with the land, taking pleasure in great silence and unpeopled immensity. To settle the frontier the state has a homesteading program, based on the federal Homestead Act of 1864, which。
