（二） 阅读理解
此部分有两篇文章，每篇文章后有五个问题，文章的题材主要涉及日常生活、人物、科普知识、经济等几方面，因此考生应当在平时广泛阅读，一来可以增加单词量，二来可以了解外国的风土人情、历史背景等。除此之外，考生还应当做一下往年的考试真题和模拟题，最好规定自己在一定的时间内完成一篇文章，培养时间概念，这样考试时才不至于在这部分花太多的时间而来不及做其它部分。阅读理解最常见的题型包括词义题、细节题、主旨题、推断题、观点态度题。考生在平时做题时可以有针对地加强这些题型的训练。如可以在表示“何人、何时、何事”等细节处做些记号，这样碰到细节题时就能很快地找到相关的地方；文章的中心思想一般都

出现在开头段和结尾段，考生在碰到主旨题时可以再回头仔细阅读一下这两段，再结合四个选项不难选出正确的答案；推断题可以采取排除法，先把自己确定不符合题目要求的排除掉，然后把不能确定的选项带到文章中，根据上下文来判断该选项是否符合题目的要求。

例题：
Passage 1
Ada Lovelace was the daughter of the poet Lord Byron. She was taught by Mary Somerville, a well-known researcher and scientific author, who introduced her to Charles Babbage in June 1833. Babbage was an English mathematician, who first had the idea for a programmable computer.

In 1842 and 1843, Ada translated the work of an Italian mathematician, Luigi Menabrea, on Babbage’s Analytical Engine. Though mechanical, this machine was an important step in the history of computers; it was the design of a mechanical general-purpose computer. Babbage worked on it for many years until his death in 1871. However, because of financial, political, and legal issues, the engine was never built. The design of the machine was very modern; it anticipated the first completed general-purpose computers by about 100 years.

When Ada translated the article, she added a set of notes which specified in complete detail a method for calculating certain numbers with the Analytical Engine, which have since been recognized by historians as the world’s first computer program. She also saw possibilities in it that Babbage hadn’t: she realised that the machine could compose pieces of music. The computer programming language ‘Ada’, used in some aviation and military programs, is named after her.

1. first had the idea for a programmable computer.
A. Mary Somerville B. Charles Babbage
C. Ada Lovelace D. Luigi Menabrea

2. The engine was never built .
A. because of the modern design
B. because of the mechanical failure
C. because of Babbage’s death
D. because of financial, political, and legal issues

3. The expression “by about 100 years”(Line7,para2) probably means .
A. about 100 years ago B. after about 100 years
C. about 100 years after D. about 100 years in advance

4. What did Ada Lovelace discover about the Engine?
A. The machine could compose pieces of music.
B. The machine could be used in aviation.
C. The machine could never be built.
D. The machine could be used in calculation.

5. What do we know about Ada?
A. Ada was the student of Mary Somerville.
B. Ada was the name of the daughter of Lord Byron.
C. Ada was a computer programming language.
D. All of the above.

Passage 2
A recent survey has shown that the number of people in the United Kingdom who do not intend to get internet access has risen. These people, who are know as ‘net refuseniks’, make up 44% of UK househo

lds, or 11.2 million people in total.

The research also showed that more than 70 percent of these people said that they were not interested in getting connected to the internet. This number has risen from just over 50% in 2005, with most giving lack of computer skills as a reason for not getting internet access, though some also said it was because of the cost.

More and more people are getting broadband and high speed net is available almost everywhere in the UK, but there are still a significant number of people who refuse to take the first step.

The cost of getting online is going down and internet speeds are increasing, so many see the main challenge to be explaining the relevance of the internet to this group. This would encourage them to get connected before they are left too far behind. The gap between those who have access to and use the internet is the digital divide, and if the gap continues to widen, those without access will get left behind and miss out on many opportunities, especially in their careers.

1. What is the finding of a recent survey in the United Kingdom?
A. The number of people who don’t intend to use the Internet is going down.
B. The vast majority of people are inclined to use the Internet.
C. Only a small number of people want to use the Internet.
D. The number of people who don’t intend to use the Internet is going up.

2. The expression “net refuseniks”(Line2,para1) refers to .（定义）
A. people who are not accessible to the Internet
B. people who intend to get access to the Internet
C. people who don’t intend to get access to the Internet
D. people who are willing to use the Internet

3. The reasons why people had no interest in getting access to the Internet lies in .
A. their lack of computer skills and the cost of using the Internet
B. their lack of computer skills
C. the cost of using the Internet
D. no state encouragement of using the Internet

4. “The gap”(Line3,para4) probably exists between .
A. people who have an urban life and those who have a rural life
B. People who are skillful in using the computer and those who aren’t
C. people who have access to and use the Internet and those who don’t
D. people who are rich and those who are poor

5. What will be the potential disadvantage for “net refuseniks”?
A. They will be left far behind in their careers.
B. They will miss out many chances in their careers.
C. They will not be well-informed without getting online.
D. Both A and B.

Passage 3
Looking to improve your language skills, but you don’t have the time to go overseas to attend school? More and more universities around the world are offering opportunities for students to obtain degrees online (distance education) from the comfort of their own

homes, and many of these institutions are accredited, meaning that they have met certain standards of excellence.

If you decide to take language courses online (or any subject for that matter), be sure to evaluate the benefits of studying online versus going abroad. The advantages of studying online are that the costs are usually lower, you can study at your own pace, and you have access to the materials 24-hours-a-day from almost any computer in the world. However, you won’t get the human interaction of meeting people to face to face like you would if you were physically attending a school overseas.

On the other hand, the advantages of going overseas may include day-to-day opportunities to learn a new culture, meet new friends with whom you can use and practice the language, and chances to see different parts of the world. However, there may be a number of disadvantages for some including expense, time away from one’s school, family, or work life, and the challenge of adapting to a new culture and way of life.

Whatever you do, consider a distance education program that meets your educational needs, is within your budget, and equally important, provides you with opportunities to grow beyond the classroom through cultural and educational activities.

1. What is the author’s tone for writing this passage?
A. indifferent B. Objective
C. Subjective D. Critical

2. What can we infer from the passage?
A. People will still prefer the traditional classroom teaching.
B. It’s hard to say that online courses will become popular in the future.
C. More and more people will take online courses in the future.
D. Meeting people face to face is still of significance to the future people.

3. What are the advantages of studying online?
A. The costs are lower.
B. People can study at their own pace.
C. Learning materials are easily accessible.
D. All of the above.

4. The disadvantages of studying overseas may include all of the following except .
A. higher expenses B. homesickness
C. learning a new culture　D. challenge of adjusting oneself to a new way of life

5. Which is the probable meaning of the word “accredited” (Line 4, para1)?
A. Officially recognized B. Trustful
C. Authoritative D. Well-known


（三）词汇与结构
此部分包含五个句子，考察考生对词汇和语法知识的运用能力，这就需要考生在平时积累一定的词汇量，并清楚地知道每个单词和词组的用法。要做到这一点，考生平时应多读一些英语文章，当然背一些词汇书也是不错的选择。此外，考生可以有针对地做一些语法专项练习，特别是有关动词和从句用法的练习。复习动词时要特别注意非谓语动词的用法（不定式、动名词），历年的考试经常出现这样的题

型，如I don’t know why she avoids ____C___ her opinion on the subject. （A. to give B. to be given C. giving D. being given）；We shall ask for samples ____A_____ and then we can make our decision.（A. to be sent B. being sent C. to send D. to have been sent）。

（四）完型填空
完型填空的考察点跟词汇和结构基本上是一样的，很好地掌握了词汇和语法的用法自然就能够做好这一部分，当然做一些相应的真题和模拟题也是很有必要的。做题前最好先通读全文，掌握了大意做起来自然容易些；做题切忌脱离前后文，好多题都要求考生根据上下文的信息进行推敲；做完后最好把自己所选的答案带到原文当中，看看上下文是否顺畅连贯。



（五）英译中
此部分由三个英文短句构成，考察学生短句翻译的能力。同样地，翻译也需要考生的不断练习。平时可以找一些适合自己的短小文章进行练笔，如果文章附有译文再好不过了，这样考生可以将自己的译文与之对比，找出自己的不足之处。考试中经常有一两个句子的结构稍微复杂一些，因此考生在平时练习时应当学会如何分析句子，特别是含有从句、虚拟语气、非谓语动词的句子。如All that glitters is not gold. (闪光的东西未必都是金子)。如果考生知道了这个句子当中所含的主语从句和部分否定的用法就不难写出最佳的译文。

（六）写作
命题作文，主要考察学生短文写作的能力，题型以记叙文和应用文为主，当然也可能出现议论文。考生在复习这一部分时应当掌握各种不同类型的格式，特别是书信的格式。书信一般由信头、信的地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名、附言组成，信头一般包括写信的地址和写信日期，特别要注意的是写信人的地址按照从小到大来写，这一点和我们国家的习惯正好相反。平时应多掌握一些有用的表达，如look forward to, pay attention to, try one’s best, as soon as possible, No sooner…than…, Hardly… when… 等。当然，平时背一些优美的短文对写作也有很大的帮助。 下面提供一些例文供大家参考。

Water and Life
　It goes without saying that the decreasing of fresh water has attracted extensive attention of the society. Its status as the focus of public concern mainly results from its profound influence on individuals, collective and even the whole world. Each of us should attach high emphasis on solving it.

While we are enjoying the rich fruits of modern industrialization, we are losing something precious on this planet, The reason why fresh water, among others, is dwindling down day by day is the result of large-scale industrialization everywhere in the world. Without fresh water, our human society would come to a stop.

As fresh is such an important resource to the human society, we need to treasure it as we treasure our life. There are two major ways coping with this problem. The first way to tackle it is to appeal to authorities \government to take measures, such as developing industries that consume less water. The other way that is worth adopting is to work out new laws to limit misuse of fresh water. Where there are better laws, there are more hopes, vitality and development. Last but not least, we should enhance people’s awareness to save fresh water. Only in this way can we succeed in solving the problem in the future.

Bad Manners in Public
　It goes without saying that the bad manners in public have attracted extensive attention of the society. Its status as the focus of public concern mainly results from its negative influence on individuals, collective and even the whole world. Each of us should attach high emphasis on solving it.

Although we consider ourselves as highly advanced beings living in a civilized society, bad matters can still be found in many aspects of our everyday life. For example, people run the red traffic lights, many passengers litter waste papers and plastic bags in public places, and some tourists scrabble in tourist attractions. Some people even spit on the street.

Due to the depth /depth/ and width /width/ of its harmful influence, we should draft our solution scientifically on the basis of deep analysis of its problem，like people lack of public awareness. As far as I’m concerned, I am strongly against spit in the public places. Because this behavior pollutes the environment, what’s worse, it has the negative impact on China’s international image.

My Opinion on Cell Photo
　It goes without saying that the cell phone has attracted extensive attention of the society. Its status as the focus of public concern ma

inly results from its profound influence on individuals, collective and even the whole world. Nowdays, increasingly more argument about cell phone can be found in TV programs, newspapers, university classes and many aspects of our everyday life.

But every coin has its two sides. So does Cell phone. With the development of science and technology, the invention and use of cell phone has positive effects on our life. Firstly it’s convenient for the user at any time to contact others. Secondly, with a multifunctional cell phone in hand, one can easily surf the net, downloading what he needs.

However it’s unreasonable for us to neglect its disadvantages. For one thing, the machine itself in very expensive and its local service is very costly, not to mention its global services. For another, the radiation from the mobile phones might do harm to the user’s health.

As far as I’m concerned, taking into account both side, its development will have a brighter future due to its expenses being reduced sharply after China’ entry into the WTO. I may safely arrive at the conclusion that the advantage we can get from cell phone will far outweigh its disadvantage.
