5．Early to bed and early to rise a man healthy and happy.

A．either
B．neither
C．none
D．all
正确答案：A
7．Weeks later he had still not found a job and began to feel ______.
A．displeased
B．discouraged
C．sorry
D．displaced
正确答案：B
解析：本题考点是词义辨析。

feel displeased意为“感到不高兴”，feel discouraged意为“感到沮丧”，feel sorry意为“感到遗憾”，feel displaced意为“感到不合适”。

本句大意：数周后他还是没找到工作，开始感到灰心丧气。

8．The whole village ______ to welcome the visitors.
A．turned out
B．turned over
C．turned on
D．turned against
正确答案：A
解析：本题考点是短语动词。

turn out意为“集合、露面”，turn back意为“往回走”，turn over意为“翻身”，turn against意为“与某人反目为仇”。

本句大意：全村的人都出来欢迎英雄。

10．She regrets ______ idle when young.
A．to have been
B．her being
C．her having been
D．having been
正确答案：D
解析：本题测试的是对动词regret用法的掌握。

全句的意思是：“他后悔年轻时虚度光阴了。

”动词regret后接动名词，表示过去的动作，意为“为……感到遗憾，后悔做了某事”。

此句中用动名词的完成式having been idle作regret的宾语，表示后悔过去的事情。

由于be idle的逻辑主语就是句子的主语，所以不需要在前面加上her。

regret后面还可以接不定式或that引导的从句，表示现在的动作，意为“抱歉”。

试比较：I regret not having told her earlier．没能更早地告诉她，我很后悔。

(表示过去)I regret to say I must leave now．我很遗憾地说，我现
在必须走了。

(表示现在)根据以上分析，应选答案D。

11．Children don’t need to be made ______ . Interest is the best teacher.
A．to learn
B．learning
C．to have learned
D．learn
正确答案：A
解析：本题考查固定搭配的用法。

be made to后面接动词原形表示被迫去做某事, 故选A。

12．—I’m looking for a bread-knife ______.—I saw Tim ______ a pencil with the knife a minute ago.
A．to cut the loaf; sharpen
B．cutting the loaf; sharpen
C．to cut the loaf with; sharpening
D．cutting the loaf with; sharpening
正确答案：C
解析：动词不定式作定语，介词with不能漏；看见Tim时，他正在做某事，故用sharpening。

13．She ______ English in our university since she came to Wuhan.
A．taught
B．has been taught
C．has been teaching
D．is teaching
正确答案：C
解析：句意：自从她来到武汉，她就在这所大学教书。

这里强调完成进行时。

14．Jack would rather spend time complaining than ______ the problem by himself.
A．solve
B．solved
C．solves
D．to solve
正确答案：A
解析：本题考查would rather...than...结构。

would rather+v原形+than+v原形，意为“宁可……也不愿……”。

所以A项为正确答案。

【例句】：He would rather die bravely than live humbly．(他宁可勇敢地死，也不愿卑贱地活着。

)
Section BDirections: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each bland with the proper form of the word given in the brackets.
15．I should (know) ______ it wouldn’t be easy.
正确答案：have known
解析：本题考查虚拟语气的用法。

should have done结构表示虚拟语气，意思是“应该做某事(但事实上没做，或没做成)”，句子暗含的意思是“我之前不知道，或没料想到”。

虚拟语气的用法很多，包括“情态动词+完成时”，一般过去时和动词原形等多种形式，是考试的重点，一定要系统学习，牢固掌握。

16．University expense is of a (consider) ______ sum of money.
正确答案：considerable
17．Two-thirds of the earth’s surface (be) ______ covered with water.
正确答案：is
18．He managed (find)______ the telephone number I had given him before.
正确答案：to find
解析：本题测试的是固定短语。

全句的意思是；“他想方设法找到了我以前给他的电话号码。

”manage to do是固定搭配，意为“设法做成……”。

因此，应该填to find。

19．At last he was (please) ______ with one of his picture of the mouse.
正确答案：pleased
解析：本题测试的是形容词词组的用法。

全句的意思是：“最后他对众多关于老鼠的图片中的一张感到了满意。

”be pleased with sth．．．．意为“对……，感到很满意”。

20．A theory often involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could (produce) ______.
正确答案：be produced
解析：本题考查动词的语态变化。

在修饰the way的定语从句中，主语an observed event与谓语produce之间存在逻辑上的被动关系，需要使用produce的被动式；况且跟在情态动词could的后面，所以用be produced。

21．We must keep ourselves ______ (health) so that we can study well.
正确答案：healthy
解析：你必须让你的房间保持清洁整齐。

22．When the singer announced his (decide) ______ to leave the band, his followers were all surprised.
正确答案：decision
解析：名词作宾语。

23．After she qualified as a lawyer, she decided to (special) ______ in contract law.
正确答案：specialize
解析：decide接动词不定式，所以应用special的动词形式specialize。

句意：在成为合格的律师之后，她决定专攻合同法。

24．I tried to fix the computer myself, but that just made it (bad) ______ than I had expected.
正确答案：worse
解析：本题考查比较级。

本题关键词than构成形容词比较级结构，其基本句型：形容词比较级+than。

而形容词比较级构成是在单音节形容词词尾加er；以辅音+y结尾改y为i，再加-er；或部分双音节及多音节形容词前加more。

本题high是单音节词，在词尾直接加-er表示比较级，连词than前应该填形容词或副词的比较级。

英语中有些形容词的比较级是不规则的，如本题中bad的比较级是worse，故填worse。

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.
It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation. Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey”spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey”is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises,
and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress(痛苦), sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire (能发出的全部声音). This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意识的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people.
25．By “... challenges explanation” (the end of Para.1) the author means that ______.
A．no explanation is necessary for such an obvious phenomenon
B．no explanation has been made up to now
C．it’s no easy job to provide an adequate explanation
D．it’s high time that an explanation was provided
正确答案：C
解析：细节题。

该题测试对词组“challenges explanation”的理解。

文中第一段的意思是：“他(孩子)在如此短的时间就能做到这一事实，这是向原有解释提出了质疑。

”由此可以看出，对婴儿学习说话这一问题已经有解释，但是不能使人信服。

因此，可以得出答案应为C。

26．The third paragraph is mainly about ______.
A．the development of babies’ early forms of language
B．the difficulties of babies in learning to speak
C．babies’ strong desire to communicate
D．babies’ intention to communicate
正确答案：A
解析：主旨题。

第三段第一句就说明从婴儿开始发出含糊的声音到他能说话之间的发展过程追踪起来很困难，后面都是围绕这一过程展开的。

因此，可以得出答案应为人
27．The author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that children ______.
A．usually obey without asking questions
B．are passive in the process of learning to speak
C．are born cooperative
D．learn to speak by listening
正确答案：D
解析：主旨题。

从第二段第一句可以看出，学习语言是从听开始的，孩子学习语言也是从听开始的，只是不同的孩子学习说话之前听的量不同，故可以确定D为正确答案。

28．From the passage we learn that ______.
A．early starters can learn to speak within only six months
B．children show a strong desire to communicate by making noises
C．imitation plays an important role in learning to speak
D．children have various difficulties in learning to speak
正确答案：C
解析：推断题。

从第三段倒数第一句可以看出，模仿在学习说话的过程中起着重要的作用。

因此，可以确定C为正确答案。

29．The best title for this passage would be ______.
A．How Babies Learn to Speak
B．Early Forms of Language
C．A Huge Task of Children
D．Noise Making and Language Learning
正确答案：A
解析：主旨题。

文章主要阐述婴儿是怎样学习说话的。

B项意为“语言的早期形式”，显然范围过大；C项意为“孩子们的一个重大任务是”，不符合题意；D项意为“发出噪声和语言学习”，范围太小。

因此，可以确定A为正确答案。

Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
In 1995 about 700,000 robots were operating in the industrialized world. Over 500,000 were used in Japan, about 120,000 in Western Europe, and about 60,000 in the United States. Many robot applications are for tasks that are either dangerous or unpleasant for human beings. In medical laboratories, robots handle potentially dangerous materials, such as blood or urine samples(尿样). In other cases, robots are used in repetitive, unchangeable tasks in which human performance might degrade over time. Robots can perform these repetitive, high-precision operations 24 hours a day without fatigue. A major user of robots is the automobile industry. General Motors Corporation uses approximately 16,000 robots for tasks such as spot welding(点焊), painting, machine loading, parts transfer, and assembly. Assembly is one of the fastest gnawing industrial applications of robotics. It requires higher precision than welding or painting and depends on low-cost sensor systems and powerful inexpensive computers. Robots are used in electronic assembly where they load microchips on circuit boards. Activities in environments that cause great danger to humans, such as locating sunken ships, cleanup of nuclear waste, exploring for underwater mineral deposits, and active volcano exploration, are ideally suited to robots. Similarly, robots can explore distant planets. NASA’s Galileo, an unmanned space probe, traveled to Jupiter in 1996 and performed tasks such as determining the chemical content of the Jovian atmosphere. Robots are being used to assist surgeons in installing artificial hips, and very high-precision robots can help surgeons
with delicate operations on the human eye.
30．Which of the following is the best topic about this article?
A．Robots
B．Uses of Robots
C．Development of Robots
D．Advantages of Robots
正确答案：B
解析：根据文章的整体意思来做。

第一段通过举例说明机器人使用的数目、领域、条件等等。

第二段强调机器人使用的环境。

选择项中A项Robots太笼统，而此处文章很具体；C项意思与文章不沾边；D项意为“文章讲机器人优点”，但综合全文，优点是讲了一些，但没有完全侧重这一方面。

所以B项正确。

31．According to the article, which of the following is NOT true?
A．In 1995 about 700,000 robots were operating in the industrialized world.
B．Why people use the robots is that they are neither dangerous nor unpleasant.
C．In medical laboratories, robots can be used to handle Potentially dangerous materials, such as blood or urine samples.
D．In other cases, robots are used in repetitive, unchangeable tasks in which human performance might degrade over time.
正确答案：B
解析：将选择一一放到文章中对应去找可以发现A、C、D三项都有具体出处，而B项没有，且意思也不符合文章。

32．In the sentence “Robots can perform these repetitive, high-precision operations 24 hours a day without fatigue.”the word “fatigue” can be explained as ______.
A．rest
B．paying
C．powering
D．being exhausted
正确答案：A
解析：fatigue n. 疲劳，劳累。

实际上D项很符合这一意思；但放到句中后，A项就显得合适了，而D项显得很别扭。

33．The robots can do many jobs EXCEPT ______.
A．spot welding, painting
B．drinking, eating and shaving
C．machine loading, parts transfer, and assembly
D．exploring distant planets
正确答案：B
解析：这是一个细节题，可将A、B、C、D四项放到文章之中一一排除。

B 项不对是因为多了一个shaving(刮脸，修面)。

很明显，这是人的行为而不是机器人的行为。

34．Sometimes which kind of doctor may NOT need robots’ help?
A．Physician.
B．Surgeon.
C．Brain specialist.
D．Dentist.
正确答案：A
解析：提问“哪一种医生不需机器人的帮助?”中隐含有无需动手术之意，因此A项正确。

A．没有略受教育的成年人会为这样的经历难过。

B．略受教育的成年人没有谁不会为这样的经历难过。

C．略受教育的成年人都不会为这样的经历难过。

D．不是所有受过教育的成年人都会为这样的经历难过。

正确答案：C
解析：C)一B)一A)一D)。

本题的关键在于理解Although引导的让步状语从句。

Although引导的从句是由and连接的两个简单句：our health is improving in many ways应该翻译成“我们在通过多种方式改善健康状况”；we are living longer than in previous decade应该翻译成“人们的寿命也比十年前更长了”。

综合比较，C)是最佳翻译。

It is very easy for employees to think of good ideas, but it is of ten difficult to have someone take responsibility for those ideas. It’s pointless to have good ideas “just sitting around” . Someone has to act on them.
正确答案：尽管才智是工作规范中十分重要的组成部分，但进取精神在工作场所中起着更为重要的作用。

雇员想出好主意并不难；但让某人为那些主意承担责任通常是不易之事。

让好主意“闲在那里”是毫无意义的，必须有人将其付诸行动。
