Passage 1

It seems quite clearly unjust to pay two people different amounts of money for doing the same work. But it is not as easy as it appeals at first __1__ to introduce equal pay for equal work.

Two people may be working side by side in a factory and doing the same work, but one may be doing it twice as fast as the __2__; or one may be making no mistakes, while the other is making a lot. In some kinds of work, one can solve the problem of speed if one pays by the amount of work to be done and not by the hour: work paid

for in this __3__ is called piece-work. But it is not always possible to do this, so it is sometimes useful to pay workers at different rates, which take differences in skill into __4__. This usually means that the younger and therefore less experienced worker gets less than the __5__ and more experienced one, which seems reasonable enough. A：other B：sight C：older D：way E：account

答案及解析

1、答案：B分析句子成分可知所缺项应该是一个名词，与介词at 构成介宾结构，排除选项A、C，E选项意思不对，短语at first sight 第一眼看上去…。

2、答案：A空缺处所在句子中有one may…，与之对应可考虑the other，意思是：一个…，另一个….,故选other。

3、答案：D分析句子成分可知本剧的主语是work，谓语是空格后的is called，所以空格处应填入一个名词与之前的in this 构成方式状语，意思是“以这种方式付款”。

4、答案：E空格前是介词into，空格后是句号，可见空格处必须是名词，再考虑固定短语take …into account，意思是“把…考虑进去”。

5、答案：C通读本句可见比较结构：the younger 与the older，故选C。

Passage 2

Many Chinese students don't pay much attention to spoken English at school. They think it necessary to practice speaking English in class. Here is a story to show you how important it is to speak the English language 1 in everyday life.

A foreigner once got hungry and went into a restaurant in London. He sat down at a table.

When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers 2 it and took them out again in order to express that he wanted something to eat for he could not speak English.

The waiter soon brought a cup of tea. The man shook his head. The waiter then

took away the tea and brought a cup of coffee. The man again shook his head. The man tried again and again, but he wasn't able to make 3 understood. Finally another man came in. He spoke English clearly and fluently. In a few minutes, there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table 4 him.

So you see a man often goes hungry if he doesn't 5a foreign language.

A：into B：freely C：before D：himself E：master

答案及解析

1、答案：B通读本句，可见空缺处并非句子的不可缺成分，故考虑填入状语，结合句意，选freely，意思是“自如地讲英语”。

2、答案：A空格后的it 指代前文的mouth，put the finger into his mouth,意思就很明了，即：把手指头放进嘴里。

3、答案：D根据上下文，结合短语“make sb. Understood 是别人明白自己的话”，综合判断选择himself。

4、答案：C空格之后是代词him，再结合分析句子可知空格处不可能是动词做谓语，通读句子可考虑填入before，意思是“在他面前的桌子上”。

5、答案：E空格所处的句子很短，读后发现所缺项应该是if从句的谓语部分，所以必须填入动词，运用排除法可锁定答案。

Passage 3

There is an old saying that husbands and wives start to look and behave like each other after a time. I don't know if this was true of my mother and father.

Both of my parents had brown hair and brown eyes and low voices. My father,

In music, their types were similar, and they were never proud of listening to it. Most of the time they were in agreement on bringing __4__ their children. They both believed in giving them love and neither one believed in punishing them physically. At times, their personalities were very much alike, but at other times, they seemed very __5__. Perhaps that is why none of their children knows which parent he looks or behaves like.

A：however B：interested C：up D：used E：different

答案及解析

1、答案：A空格处前后均以逗号与前后语句隔开，通常这种情况下都要考虑填入副词。

2、答案：D空格前是系动词was，空格后是to doing，再结合句子的意思，考虑be used to doing这个短语，意思是“习惯于做…”。

3、答案：B空格处应填入形容词与空格前的were构成句子的谓语，再结合短语“be interested in doing”，故选B。

4、答案：C通读本句，再结合空格前的bring，考虑短语“bring sb. up”，意思是“把孩子抚养成人”。

Passage 5

The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of teaching in order to 1 students’ strong interest in computers?

Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different 2 giving class lessons through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using computers to teach students. There is no 3 about the fact that IT learning plays an important role as a new teaching tool in this day of

technology. 4 , views differ on whether the schools can achieve their targets, as success 5 on whether they can make use of computers effectively.

A：However B：doubt C：match D：from E：depends

答案及解析：

1、C 句子的主语是IT learning(即：using computers to teach students)，IT learning 是教师的教学行为，不可能show students’ strong interest in computers，只能是教师用计算机辅助教学与学生对计算机的浓厚兴趣相一致，故用match（find sth.like or suitable for use with相称，相配)。

2、D different与from搭配，在这里表示“教学生有关计算机的知识技能与通过使用计算机辅助教学是不同的两件事”。

3、B作者先是肯定了在科技时代，信息技术作为新的教学工具起着重要作用这一事实，故用doubt。

4、A接着，用however表示转折，提出不同看法：学校能否成功地达到目标取决于他们是否能有效地使用计算机辅助教学。

5、Edepend on：依靠；lead to：导致；result in：造成、引起；believe in：信赖，E项符合文意。

Passage 6

Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see 1difficulties the experts face in their IT management. At present,20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach the subject the new 2.In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know the 3that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making it 4to see the policy through

Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forced to 5the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer A：fact B：hard C：what D：way E：attend

答案及解析：

1、C空格之后是what引出的名词性从句，修饰difficulties，引导一个宾语从句作see的宾语。作者以中文教学为例，表明专家们在他们IT教学管理中面临着怎样的困难。

2、D根据文意，教师用计算机辅助教学是一种新的教学方法。

3、A 同位语从句中所表达的内容(执教不同学科的老师有不同的要求)是一个事实。

4、B老师教的学科不同，要求不同，故使这一政策很难进行到底。

5、E training course应该是attend，即根据上述政策，懂得计算机知识的教师也得去参加计算机教学的培训课程。

Passage 7

Tim Becker and his neighbors are doing something to make their neighborhood a trouble-free area.

When Tim Becker gets in his car to go shopping, he doesn’t 1 drive to a store and back home. He always looks carefully up and down the streets of his neighborhood. He looks for anything 2 such as strange cars, loud noises,broken windows, or people gathering on street comers.

Tim belongs to a neighborhood watch group in Stoneville, Indiana, USA. The neighborhood watch group 3on the third Wednesday of every month. That’s when Tim gets together withabout ten of his neighbors to discuss community 4.Members of the neighborhood watch group want to help the police 5their homes, streets, and families safe.

A：meets B：unusual C：just D：safety E：keep

答案及解析：

1、C本题考查副词词义辨析及学生依据语境选用恰当副词的能力。从后面的句子可以知道Tim Becker去买东西时不只是从家到商店直来直去，而是还要在居民区里巡视，所以应选用副词just。

2、B 本题考查考生根据上下文对所给形容词做出判断选择的能力。Tim是为了社区安全进行巡视，应注意一些可疑情况，且后面举的例子也是一些反常情况，属于“unusual”。

3、A本题考查根据上下文做出判断及动词词意的辨析。此题的提示在后面一句，即“…Tim gets together with…”，所以本句应理解为“社区巡视组的成员每月的第三个星期三会面一次。”

4、D本题考查学生词意辨析和根据上下文进行判断的能力。根据文章的整体意思，显然他们讨论的是社区安全问题。

5、E本题考查学生动词词意辨析及对句子的准确理解的能力。根据文章意思，巡视组应是帮助警察维护社区的安全，即“keep…safe”，如果用“protect，保护”，虽然意思也正确，但不需要句子后面的safe，两个词意思重复。

Passage 8

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. 2, when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 3 in analyzing a problem.

4 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must

5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.

A：First B：similar C：stages D：see E：However

答案及解析：

1、B从上文的提示“try to remember a solution from the last time”，表明人们一旦遇上类似的问题，首先想到的是上次碰到这类问题的解决办法。只有问题“类似”，才会想到“上一次”的办法。

2、E下文用however表示转折，表明作者观点：有时靠老办法往往不灵，于是人们便开始分析问题，寻找新的解决途径。

3、C 从下文的列举看，作者讲的是解决问题的六个阶段，且层层深入(stage：a period in a course of events)，而不是在阐述解决问题的六个办法、条件、顺序。

4、A. 下文next，finally等表明作者在列举分析问题、解决问题的几个步骤，故填first(首先)，与下文呼应。

5、D作为分析的第一步，Sam必须查看自行车的毛病出在哪儿。see在此的含义是：examine or recognize by looking。

Passage 9

He has been called the “missing link”.Half-man, half-beast. He is supposed to live in the highest mountain in the world—Mount Everest.

He is known as the Abominable Snowman. The 1 of Snowman has been around for 2 . Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest. The native people said they 3this creature and called it the “Yeti”,and they said that they had 4 caught Yetis on two occasions 5 none has ever been produced as evidence.

A：even B：story C：knew of D：many years E：though

答案及解析：

1、B 从该段叙述的多年来人们关于生存在喜马拉雅山上的雪人的传说及下文Over the years,the story of the Yetis has continued.和These days,only a few people continue to take the story of the Abominable Snowman seriously.就不难看出此空应填story。

2、A. 短文大部分描述的是多年来人们对于世界最高峰——珠穆朗玛峰上有关雪人存在的传说、考察和猜想，文中Climbers in the 1920s reported finding marks like those of human feet high up on the side of Mount Everest 及In 1916,Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks in the snow of Everest.等信息，则清楚地说明了此空应填many years。

3、D短文第二段中they said that they had 4 caught Yetis on two occasions 5 none has ever been produced as evidence（证据)说明了人们对珠穆朗玛峰上雪人的存在只不过是听说而已，却拿不出任何证据，自然最佳答案应该选knew of了。

4、A.上文20世纪20年代的登山者报告，在珠穆朗玛峰坡上发现了像人脚印一样的足迹。当地人听说过这种动物并给其起名为“雪人”。这里they said that they had caught Yetis on two occasions 是当地人叙述雪人存在的一种更为真实的情况，因此此空应填副词even,意思是“甚至”，用来加强语气，强调谓语动词，故最佳答案选A。

5、E主句中叙述了they had even caught Yetis on two occasions,从句none has ever been produced as evidence则否定了上述情况的真实性，表示的是让步意义，故此空应填though,引导一个让步状语从句。

Passage 10

Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training．Therefore, the choice of a job should be made even before the choice of a curriculum (课程)in high schoo1．Actually, 1 , most people make several job choices during their working lives， 2 because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve theirposition．The“one perfect Job”does not exist. Young people should

3 enter into a broad flexible(灵活的)training program that Will 4them for a field of work rather than for a single 5 _．

A：however B：therefore C：partly D：job E：prepare

答案及解析

1、A考查副词．前面讲到是一种职业的选择，后面说到现在一生中选择几种工作．可见与前面是转折关系，选项however符合题意．

2、C考查副词。后文的partly是提示词语，意思是“一部分原因是…”.

3、B 考查连词。既然一个完美的工作并不存在，所以年轻人就必须接受广泛而灵活的训练。

4、E考查动词。prepare sb for sth使……为……作准备。

5、.D 空格处为句尾，之前是single，结合句意可推断应填入名词job，意思是“单个的工作”。
