Section A
Directions: In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
16. Mary is the kind of person who always seems to be ______ a hurry.
A) on
B) in
C) with
D) for
答案：B
【解析】“in a hurry”是一词组，表“匆忙”。
17. This time next week I’ll be on vacation. Probably I _________ on a beautiful beach.
A) am lying
B) have lain
C) will be lying
D) will have lain
答案：C
【解析】第一短句中有“This time next week”时间状语，因此，第二句中应表示下周的这个时间“正在做什么”。
18. __________________________, we went swimming in the river.
A) The day being very hot
B) It was a very hot day
C) The day was very hot
D) Being a very hot day
答案：A
【解析】在整个句子中，“we went swimming in the river.”是主句，其前就用分词短语作状语。该题考的语法知识为“分语的独立结构”。按照语法要求，“being very hot”的真实主语应该是“The day”，因此应该保留。而答案B、C都是由简单句与主句相连。语法中有规定，两个简单句不能用逗号相连，应加上连词。而答案D，则表明“We”是“Being a very hot day”的逻辑主语，这显然是错误的。
19. She didn’t go to the cinema last night, _______ she had to finish her term paper.
A) as
B) if
C) till
D) though
答案：A
【解析】从两句的逻辑关系来看，第一分句是结果，后一分句是原因。因此，要表示原因，只能用“as”
20. I have found some articles _________ the harmful effects of drinking.
A) being concerned
B) concerned
C) to concern
D) concerning
答案：D
【解析】“concerning”一词意为“(表示论及)关于, 有关, 就…而论，涉及”，是介词，放在此处正好适合。
21.She has ___________ her mind and is going to Canada instead of Japan.
A) exchanged
B) changed
C) decided
D) made
答案：B
【解析】“exchange”表示“交换，交流”，“change”是“改变”，依据后句“is going to Canada instead of Japan.”表明“她是改变了自己的想法，不去日本而去加拿大”。
22.The __________ the proposal is considered, the worse it appears.
A) carefully
B) much carefully
C) more carefully
D) most carefully
答案：C
【解析】
这是由“the more….,the more….”引导的一种句子结构，要求形容词或副词用比较级的形式。而“carefully”是多音节词，所以要用“more”修饰。
23.When applying for a job, you have to __________ a resume.
A) get off
B) take away
C) put out
D) hand in
答案：D
【解析】“get off”意为(从…)下来；动身，“hand in”意为“上交”，
“put out”意为“伸出、扑灭、熄灭、生产、制造、出版、发行、发布”
“take away”意为“拿开, 拿走、把…带走; 使离开”
根据句意，应为“上交”。
24.It is important that the committee __________ about the project at once.
A) be informed
B) is informed
C) will be informed
D) being informed
答案：A
【解析】这是一个由It is important(necessary)+that 引导的主语从句。要求主语从句的谓语动词用“should +动词原形”。并且，“Should”可以省略。
25.He __________ several jackets and finally pick out a blue one.
A) went on
B) took on
C) tried on
D) got on
答案：C
【解析】”go on”表示“继续”，“take on”表示“承担、呈现,穿上”，“get on”表示“上车”等，而“try on”表示“试穿”。因此选C。
Section B
Directions: There are also 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
26. Miss Cherry is a well-known singer. She showed(music)________tendencies from her early age.
答案：musical
【解析】“tendencies”为名词，因此，其前应为形容词来修饰它。将music 改为musical 即可。
27. Most students (take)_______sixty credits by the time they graduate.
答案：will have taken
【解析】由by引导的时间状语，一般与将来完成式连用。
28. Yesterday I was late getting to the railway station, but (fortunate )________, the train was late, too.
答案：fortunately
【解析】在该句中，“but…”引导的是一个插入语，充当状语成份，应为副词。
29. I have decided to accept their(invite) ______to pay a visit to their factory.
答案：invitation
【解析】“their”为形容词性物主代词，其后为名词。“invite”的名词形式为“invitation”。
30. Give the application to the man(sit) ______at that desk, please.
答案：sitting
【解析】这里是分词作伴随状语的成份，“man”为“sit”的逻辑主语，因此，用现在分词。
31. He seemed very young, but he was(real) ______older than all of us.
答案：really
【解析】“older”为形容词，与“was”构成系表结构，其间应用副词来修饰“older”。“real”的副词形式为“really”。
32. As soon as I(get) ______home, it started to rain heavily.
答案：got
【解析】主句的谓语动词为“started”，为过去时，从句由“As soon as”引导，说明主从句的谓语动词几乎同时发生。所以，“get”改为“got”。
33. Did you get the(permit) _________from the authorities to run the bushiness?
答案：permission
【解析】“the”是“冠词”，要求其后为名词。
34. Doctor Richard, together with his wife and three children, (be) _________to arrive in Beijing this afternoon.
答案：is
【解析】因为“this afternoon”是一个现在时间，表明还没有抵达。“be to”可以表示将来。这里的关键点为“together with 后接复数名词”，其谓语动词主要看前面主语的数。“Doctor Richard”为单数，因此，应填“is”。与此类似的还有“accompanied by, along with”等。
35. They decided not to visit the Great Wall because it was raining(heavy) _________.
答案：heavily
【解析】“was raining”在此充当谓语成分，因此用副词修饰。如果，“rain”为名词，则为“heavy rain”.
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 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Most of us grow up taking certain things for granted. We tend to assume that experts and religious leaders tell us “the truth”. We tend to believe that things advertised on television or in newspapers can’t be bad for us.
However, encouragement of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share the professors’ own beliefs. In general, professors are more concerned that students learn to question and critically examine the arguments of others, including some of their own beliefs or values. This does not mean that
professors insist that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing.
If your premises (前提) are shaky, or if your arguments are not logical, professors personally point out the false reasoning in your arguments. Most professors want you to learn to recognize the premises of your arguments, to examine whether you really accept these premises, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions. Put it this way: Professors don’t tell you what to think; they try to teach you how to think.
On the other hand, if you intend to disagree with your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas. Arguing just for the sake of arguing usually does not promote a critical examination of ideas. Many professors interpret it as rudeness.
36. In the first paragraph, the writer tries to tell us that people _______.
A) easily accept certain things without a second thought
B) grow up through learning certain things in life
C) are forming their views during their growth
D) have strong beliefs in authorities while getting old
答案：A
【解析】理解第一句中的“taking certain things for granted.”
37. Nowadays, most colleges and universities encourage students to ____________.
A) criticize others
B) share professors’ beliefs
C) give their own ideas
D) change their own beliefs
答案：C
【解析】第二段中的最一后句点题：“It does mean, however, that professors will usually ask you to support the views you express in class or in your writing.”
38. The word “shaky” (Line 1, Para.3) most probably means “___________”.
A) creative
B) firm
C) false
D) weak
答案：D
【解析】从文中的第三段第一句可以得出答案。着重理解“Shaky”.
39. To help students develop their critical thinking, professors mainly teach them ______.
A) choice of their premises
B) the way to think independently
C) skills of drawing conclusions
D) different kinds of arguments
答案：B
【解析】第三段最后一句“Professors don’t tell you w hat to think; they try to teach you how to think. ”表明了教授的意图。
40. According to the writer, the right way to argue is to _____________.
A) argue mainly for the sake of arguing
B) prove it with a good conclusion
C) support your idea with sound reasoning
D) e xamine others’ ideas critically
答案：C
【解析】本文最后一段可以得出答案。

Part IV Translation -- English into Chinese ( 25 minutes)
Directions: This part, numbered 61 through 65, is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese. After each of the sentences numbered 61 to 64, you will read four choices of suggested translation. You should choose the best translation and mark the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet. And for the paragraph numbered 65, write your translation in the corresponding
space on the Translation/ Composition Sheet.
61. Scientists are eager to talk with other scientists working on similar problem.
A) 科学家热衷于从事类似课题研究的其他科学家交流。
B) 科学家更容易与其他科学家谈话来解决相同的问题。
C) 科学家很乐意在解决类似问题时同其他科学家交流。
D) 科学家更容易就雷同的问题与其他科学家交谈。
答案：A
【解析】:解题关键在于理解“be eager to ”和分词短语“working on similar problem”。前者表示“渴望”；后者相当于一个定语从句“who are working on similar problem”。另外翻译时还要注意通顺和简洁。
62. Women are going after equality themselves instead of waiting for organizations to deliver it.
A) 妇女正在追求属于自己的平等，而不是组织机构给予的平等。
B) 妇女在等待组织机构带来平等，相反地自己则在后面跟随。
C) 与其等待组织机构赐予平等，妇女更愿意自己去追求平等。
D) 妇女正在自己追求平等而不是等待组织机构赐予平等。
答案：D
【解析】该句要理解两点。一为“go after”表“追求”，二为“instead of ”表“而不是”。
63. Clothes worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of the fashion.
A) 衣服因为穿过几次就变得不时髦了。
B) 因为气候的改变，衣服几乎没穿就送人了。
C) 因为款式改变，衣服没怎么穿就送了。
D) 因为流行款式的改变，仅穿过几次的衣服也只好搁置在一边了。
答案：D
【解析】该句中的“worn”为过去分词表“已穿过的”，另一词“put aside”意为“放在一边”。理解了这两个词，该句就不难译出了。另要注意语句的通顺。
64. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
A) 我们大多数人从刚上学时就知道，空想就是浪费时间。
B) 我们中许多人在学校里很早就知道，白日做梦就是浪费时间。
C) 我们中大多数人在学校里早就知道，每天做梦都是浪费时间。
D) 我们绝大多数早上学的人都知道，上课时开小差是浪费时间。
答案：B
【解析】；该句的难点是“from earliest school days”的译法。另一难点就是“have been told”是被动语态的结构，而在本句的译文中没有出现“被”，所以要大家将其译主动句式。
65. E-mail lives somewhere between a phone call and a formal letter: it can be unprepared or carefully constructed. The trouble is that you cannot always be sure how the recipient (收件人) is going to interpret your message so it helps to be as clear as possible. You can do a few simple things to ensure that people don't take offence.
答案：电子邮件介于电话和正式信件之间；其内容可以是即兴的或者是经过认真构思的。问题是你有时候无法确保收件人能理解你的意思，所以要尽可能地把意思表达清楚。你要注意几点简单事项，这样就可确保你不会冒犯别人。
【解析】该段的要点在于处理好：“lives…. Between….and …..”。而该段落的第二句是中心，应将该句成份划分清楚，在表达时要注意其逻辑关系。
