答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. A。由I am not sure(我没有把握)可知，后文是没有把握的肯定推测，用might。
2. C。may not意为“可能不”。句意是：你不妨告诉厂商男顾客可能不喜欢这种家具的花样。
3. A。由No和后文I’m sure…可知，是有把握的否定推测，所以用can’t (不可能)。
4. B。should表示“按理应当，大概”。用might语气太不肯定，顾客可能走掉。
5. B。对已经发生的事进行推测用“must have +过去分词”，答案D是被动式，应排除。
6. A。表示对过去情况的推测：“你可能和Barbara住在一起了”；must语气太肯定，与前面具有疑问语气的“Oh, did you?”不符。
7. D。既然小汽车上“已有五人”，且是“设法”才把你带去的，如此拥挤，旅途当然“不可能”舒服。
8. D。由上文可知，应是有把握的肯定推测，用must(一定)。
9. C。由后文“你才只工作了一个小时”推断，“你不可能就累了”。表示有把握的否定推测，用can’t。must not不允许；may not可能不。
10. C。nearly暗示“时间不早了”，“按理应当(should)”Jack“随时(at any moment)”都有可能到达这里。must又语气过强；can一般不用于肯定推测；need意义不通，也不用于肯定句。
11. B。当时我没听到电话铃响，那“一定是已经睡着了。
12. D。由“他自己喜欢开车”这一习惯推断，“他可能不会(may not)坐火车来”。can not“不可能”，语气太肯定。
13. C。由but he isn’t very sure. (但他没有把握)可知，Peter晚上来的可能性是不大的。表示没有把握的肯定推测用may(也许)。
14. D。由I’m not sure可知，“我可能(might)要去听音乐会”。
15. B。由he’s too short推知，Michael“不可能(can’t)”是policeman。
二、完形填空
1. D。联系后文的He preferred to have an intelligent student among his pupils as his son-in-law. 可知，Dharmananda是那里的老师。
2. B。联系空前的good-looking，可知她非常漂亮，所以父亲就在找一个能配得上她的男子。match在这里的意思是“相配的人或物”。
3. A。联系空后的considering how to judge their intelligence 可知，考虑到怎样去判断他们的智慧，他就焦虑。
4. C。联系空前的came up with可知，他想出了一个计划。
5. D。联系空后老师讲话的内容可知，老师在讲话的时候所有学生都在听着。
6. C。我想给女儿安排婚事，但是我为她买不起嫁妆。
7. B。联系空后的内容可知，老师在委婉建议他们去偷东西，因此这里用suppose最合适。
8. C。前文有nobody should see you stealing，因此此空用secretly。从那时开始，每个学生都悄悄地偷来东西，然后交给他。
9. D。联系前文stems and brings them back可知，这些都是偷来的东西。
10. A。Dharmananda决定把那些东西检查一下，然后就归还给它们的主人。
11. A。联系空前的and return them to可知，老师在检查后返还这些东西给了主人。
12. B。Gunasheela没有带回来任何物品，他看起来情绪很低落。
13. D。联系空前的you said that nobody should see it可知，他认为没人会看到是不可能的事情。
14. C。前文讲述没有人看到是不可能的，原因是自己就可以看得到。
15. A。联系前文He preferred to have an intelligent student among his pupils as his son-in-law，显然，这个学生就是他要找的聪明的学生。
16. A。我不需要什么贵重物品，我只不过用计策想找出聪明的学生。
17. B。联系空前的for a good以及空后的is also wrong可知，即使你有最好的理由去偷盗，这也是错的。

19. C。Dharmananda 命令所有的学生把偷来的东西都还回去。
20. B。寓意：你的良知是最重要的东西。你不应该做任何损害你良知的事情。
三、阅读理解
1. A。主旨大意题。A项“正视美国的高辍学率”点明了主题，为最佳选项。误项分析：B 项没点明是有关什么主题的演讲，范围太大了；C、D项只是文中的细节。
2. C。词义猜测题。“staggering”在此是作the dropout rate的宾补，且根据前一句提到了“30％的学生高中未毕业”，后一句说“这意味着超过百万的学生进了九年级但没完成十二年级”，作为承接下一句的词，staggering应意为shocking(令人震惊的)。误项分析：前后句没有要表达辍学率是增加还是减少的含义，因此不能选A、B两项，这里也没表达“无希望的”意思，故不选D项。
3. B。推理判断题。由本文最后一句话可知Arne Duncan应该是赞同奥巴马的演讲，因此选B项。
4. D。推理判断题。阅读全文可知这是有关教育的问题，因此选D项。

五、书面表达
Last Saturday, a foreign student named Mike came to visit Beijing and lived in my home for 2 days.
During the two days, I got around Beijing with him visiting many well-known places, including ancient places of interest, modern city buildings and attractive seaside scenery and so on. Mike told me he was glad to learn more about the wonderful city and colorful Chinese customs. What’s more, the long-history culture of Beijing and the hospitality of citizens left unforgettable and deep impression on him.
During our trip, I constantly offered him essential advice on visiting and shopping, hoping that he could have great fun in Beijing. Frankly and thankfully, I also learnt a lot from him. All the time I communicated with him in English and I felt my confidence expanded a lot. In addition, I obtained more information about America.
Before his leaving, he said he looked forward to coming back to Beijing again as soon as possible.And now I dream of going to America and Mike's beautiful hometown one day.
