Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Section A
There is one passage in this section followed by five questions. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
I have been living in London for more than 60 years, but still, when I'm driving and take some clever back-street short-cut, I catch myself thinking how extraordinary it is that I am doing this ! For a moment the town mouse I have become is being seen by the country mouse t used to be. And although, given a new start, I would again become a town mouse, when I visit relations in the country, I envy them.
Recently, I stood beside a freshwater lake in Norfolk, made by diverting a small river, near where my brother lives. As he was identifying some of the birds we could see, in came seven swans. They circled, then the haunting sound of their wing beats gave way to silence as they glided into a splash-down.
It is not a " picturesque" part of the coast, but it has a
definite character of line and fight and color. "You do live in a lovely place," I said to my brother, and he answered, "Yes, I do. " There are probably few days when he does not pause to recognize its loveliness as he works with his boats--he teaches sailing-or goes about his many other occupations.
The lake's creator is a local landowner, continuing the tradition whereby the nature of our countryside has been determined by those
who own the land. Formerly, landowners would almost certainly have made such changes for their own benefit, but this time it was done to help preserve the wildlife here, which is available for any visitor
to see, providing they do nothing to disturb the birds. It is
evidence of change: country life is changing fast.
One of the biggest changes I have witnessed is that second-homers, together with commuters, have come to be accepted as a vital part of the country scene. Also the men and women who service their cars, dig their gardens, install their phones, repair their word processors,
lay their carpets and do all the other things they need, are vital to modern country life.
It is quite likely that the children of today's workers may be moving into the same kind of jobs as the second-homers and the retired. Both the children of a country woman I know are at university, and she herself, now that they have left home, is working towards a university degree. One of the delights of country life today, it seems, is that there you can see how much social mobility
is increasing.
Much depends, of course, on the part of the countryside you are living in and on personality-- your own and that of your neighbors.
In my brother's Norfolk village, social life seems dizzying to a Londoner. In addition to dropping in on neighbors, people throw and attend parties far more often than we do. My brother's wife, Mary, and her friends fly off on the most dashing bargain breaks in Krakow or Prague or Venice, and are always going into Norwich for a concert or to King's Lynn for an exhibition. The boring country life that people from cities talk about is a thing of the past--or perhaps that was only ever an impression.
This is very unlike living in a London street for 50 years and knowing only the names of four other residents. In these 50 years I have made only one real friend among them. I do enjoy my life, and Mary says that she sometimes envies it (the grass on the other side
of the fence) , but whenever I go to Norfolk, I end up feeling that the lives of country mice are more admirable than my own.
46. It is sometimes a source of surprise to the writer ______.
A. to find herself driving through back streets
B. that she has been in the city for so long
C. to realize how much she has got used to living in London
D. that she lives in the city when she prefers the country
47. The atmosphere created by the writer when she describes the swans is ______.
A. magical
B. frightening
C. deafening
D. disturbing
48. What does "It" in line 5, paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The freshwater lake in a Norfolk village.
B. The fact that the lake belongs to a landowner here.
C. The fact that wildlife now needs to be preserved.
D. The reason for the landowner's action.
49. What is suggested about outsiders who now live in the country?
A. That country people no longer reject them.
B. That they often do work like servicing cars and digging gardens.
C. That the men and women who work for them are from the city.
D. That many of them have been in the countryside for a long time.
50. Social life in the country ______.
A. depends completely on where you live
B. is not as dull as people in the cities sometimes think it is
C. is not affected by your neighbors
D. is always less exciting than life in the city
Section B
There is one passage in this section with five unfinished statements. Read the passage carefully, and then complete each
statement in a maximum of four words. Remember to write the answers
on the answer sheet.
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
Although your accommodation is booked for the first few days, securing long-term accommodation will be your own responsibility. During your orientation programme, the housing options available will be discussed with you and you will be advised of the various organizations where you can go for help in finding accommodation.
You may find it more convenient to obtain accommodation in the institution where you are studying. Alternatively you may prefer to rent a room in a house or flat with other students. The various types of available accommodation are listed below. The cost of accommodation will vary according to the facilities provided and the location.
The types of housing available include:
boarding houses
shared houses or flats
residential colleges
rented houses or flats.
Boarding houses: These are a combination of single and shared rooms which are rented out individually. There are two types of boarding houses available:
i) Self-cooking (you do your own cooking in a communal kitchen). Cooking and eating utensils are often provided.
ii) Full board (meals are cooked for you).
Facilities in a boarding house usually include: fully furnished room, sheets and towels, shared bathroom, gas and/or electrical appliances.
Shared houses or flats: Shared accommodation is available when somebody has a spare room in their house or flat which they wish to rent. The rent and costs of gas and electricity are shared equally between the people sharing the flat. Each person is also expected to help clean and tidy the shared living space (e. g. kitchen, bathroom, living room). People sharing a house or flat are also responsible for cleaning their own room, doing their washing and cooking their own meals.
Residential colleges: Residential colleges are a feature of many academic institutions in Australia. These colleges are located on campus or very close to the campus and usually provide single bedrooms, shared bathroom, all meals and sheets and towels.
Rented houses or flats: These are usually for a longer term. Most Flats are unfurnished and do not contain any furniture except a stove. Houses are considerably more expensive than flats, and rent varies
with size, condition and location. The costs of electricity and gas
are additional. When renting a house or flat you can either sign a lease or enter into a written tenancy agreement with the landlord.
Landlords and managing agents usually require tenants to deposit an amount of money, as a bond. A bond is kept by the landlord (or in some Australian states by a Bond Board) as a protection against the tenant damaging the rented property or moving out without giving notice. If you have kept the place clean and not damaged it, you are entitled to, have the bond refunded when you leave.
Rules for Renting or Leasing
1) All agreements with landlords should be in writing. Make sure you fully understand any agreements before you sign.
2) Always inspect the place carefully before you move in and keep
a list of any items that were damaged by previous tenants. This prevents problems when you claim the return of bond money.
3) For furnished fiats, always compile a list of furniture and equipment. A copy should be held by you, and a copy held by the landlord or real estate agent.
4) Always get a receipt from the landlord/agent when you pay rent and keep these receipts and any agreement in a safe place. Make sure you have a receipt for any bond money you have paid.
5) Always give notice in writing at least one rental period before you intend moving out and retain a copy of the dated letter yourself.
51. You cannot cook your own meals in full-board boarding houses or in ______.
52. In a shared house, all the residents share the expenses of three things: ______.
53. The accommodation that is available inside an academic institution is called ______.
54. You should only sign an agreement after you are sure that you ______.
55. When you pay any money to a landlord or agent, you should always get a ______.
Section C
This section consists of one passage followed by five questions. Read the passage carefully, and then answer each of the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
It was seen as the mark of civilized eating, and distinguished well-fed French workers from the English, who wolf down prawn sandwiches at their desks. However, France's tradition of the three-course restaurant lunch is in danger of being killed off by the economic crisis. Around 3,000 traditional French restaurants, cafes and bars went bust in the first three months of 2008 and unions predict a further rush of closures as people worry about making ends meet. The number of French restaurants going bankrupt rose by 25% from last year, and cafes forced to close
were up by 56%.
Le Figaro's renowned restaurant critic, Francois Simon, said that French consumers' frugality had changed national eating habits and forced restaurant owners to the brink. Diners were now skipping the traditional aperitif, avoiding starters, drinking tap water, passing on wine and coffee and sharing puddings.
Even the city's smartest restaurants are getting impatient with smaller orders. In one restaurant near Paris' Care de Lyon, he reported, two couples were asked to leave by a desperate restaurant owner because they would not order starters. The restaurant chain Hippopotamus is now running loyalty deals and special-offer hamburgers, which have become more popular than French steak dishes. Office workers are increasingly buying take-away baguettes and supermarket lunches.
Making ends meet with low salaries and rising food prices has become a national obsession as France's economy continues to be sluggish, regular TV reports describe the desperation of people forced to eat cheap tinned vegetables or forage in bins at markets. The restaurant sector has seen the third highest number of bankruptcies in France this year, after the construction and building trades, according to the credit insurance group Euler Hermes SFAC.
The time French people spend on eating meals in restaurants has already gone down: in 1975, a lunch out took an average of one and a
half hours. By 2005, this had fallen to 32 minutes. Daniele Deleval, vice president of the UMIH restaurant and hotel union, said, "We're very worried. Since the start of the year, the number of restaurant customers has dropped, on average, 20% , and we're seeing no signs of improvement. "
Jean Guillaume, owner of Le Bouquet brasserie on Boulevard Haussmann in Paris' smart 8th district, said, "Lunch customers used to order a main course, dessert, coffee and a bottle of wine. Now
they're limiting themselves to a main course, tap water, and giving up the rest. Of 75 customers in this lunchtime, none had a bottle of wine. It's the end of a tradition of lunching out and it looks like figures will stay this low for two to three years. " The nearby bakery, however, was busy selling take-away baguettes, with queues down the street at midday.
Restaurant and bar owners are reeling from a poor summer with fewer international tourists visiting Paris, especially Americans and Japanese. And in Toulouse, cafe owners complained that customers would try. to make one drink last as long as possible. Even in French holiday destinations, like Arcachon in the west or the cote d'Azur in the south, restaurant owners said business was down by at least 10%.
56. What is causing the number of people dining in restaurants to decrease?
57. Which expression in paragraph 1 means having just enough money to buy the things you need?
58. Why were two couples ordered to leave a restaurant near the Care de Lyon?
59. Which two sectors saw more bankruptcies than the restaurant sector in 2008?
60. Why is the summer described as "poor" ( line 1, last paragraph) ?
Section D
This section consists of one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing no more than two words from the passage for each blank. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
The giant panda, the creature that has become a symbol of conservation, is facing extinction. The major reason is loss of habitat, which has continued despite the establishment, since 1963, of 14 panda reserves. Deforestation, mainly carried out by farmers clearing land to make way for fields as they move higher into the mountains, has drastically contracted the mammal's range. The panda has disappeared from much of central and eastern China, and is now restricted to the eastern flank of the Himalayas in Sichuan and Gansu provinces, and the Qinling Mountains in Shanxi province. Fewer than 1,400 of the animals are believed to remain in the wild.
Satellite imagery has shown the seriousness of the situation ; almost half of the panda's habitat has been destroyed or degraded since 1975. Worse, the surviving panda population has also become fragmented; a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda "islands" in patches of forest separated by cleared land. The population of these islands, ranging from fewer than ten to more than 50 pandas, has become isolated because the animals are unwilling to cross open areas. Just putting a road through a panda habitat may be enough to split a population in two.
The minuscule size of the panda populations worries conservationists. The smallest groups have too few animals to be viable, and will inevitably die out. The larger populations may be viable in the short term, but will be susceptible to genetic defects as a result of inbreeding.
In these circumstances, a more traditional threat to pandas--the cycle of flowering and subsequent withering of the bamboo that is their staple food--can become literally species-threatening. The flowerings prompt pandas to move from one area to another, thus preventing inbreeding in what would otherwise be sedentary populations. In panda islands, however, bamboo flowering could prove catastrophic because the pandas are unable to emigrate.
The latest conservation management plan for the panda, prepared by China's Ministry of Forestry and the World Wide Fund for Nature, aims primarily to maintain panda habitats and to ensure that
populations are linked wherever possible. The plan will change some existing reserve boundaries, establish 14 new reserves and protect or replant corridors of forest between panda islands. Other measures include: better control of poaching, which remains a problem despite strict laws, as panda skins fetch high prices; reducing the degradation of habitats outside reserves; and reforestation.
The plan is ambitious. Implementation will be expensive--56.6 million yuan(US 12.5 million) will be needed for the development of
the panda reserves--and will require participation by individuals ranging from villagers to government officials.
Summary
The survival of the giant panda is being seriously threatened. Panda numbers have already seriously decreased. This is largely because the overall size of their (61) has been reduced, and
habitable areas are now disconnected from each other. Two results are that pandas are more prone to (62) problems and are unable to move around freely to follow the growth cycles of the bamboo that they eat.
A new plan aims to (63) existing panda habitats and to join many of them together. This plan also includes reforestation and the creation of (64) To succeed, everyone, including both the government and (65) , will have to cooperate.

Part Ⅴ Translation
Section A
Translate the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington DC. I saw many of our nation's treasures, and I also saw a lot of our
fellow citizens on the street--unfortunate ones, like panhandlers and homeless folks.
Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, "Can you help me?" When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended. (81)In a reflex action, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand without even looking at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.
The blind woman smiled and said, "I don't want your money. I just need help finding the post office. "
In an instant, I realized what I had done. (82) I had acted with prejudice--I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I hated what I saw in myself. This incident re-awakened my core belief. It reaffirmed that I believe in humility, even though
I'd lost it for a moment.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant.
I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15. I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister, and a strong, no-nonsense mother. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, roofer, cashier, mechanic, pizza delivery driver and many other humble jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.
In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember the time, when I was 17 and working as a busboy, (83) I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. (84) I have also witnessed the same behavior to my family and friends, so I know what it's like, and I should have known better. (85) But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the streets of Washington DC, cured me of my
self-induced blindness. She reminded me of my belief in humility and to always keep my eyes and heart open.
By the way, I helped that lady find the post office, and in writing this essay, I hope to thank her for a priceless lesson.

Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure
31．B 句意：大象有着被称为猛犸象的远亲，生活在石器时代。distant relative远亲。是固定说法。remote偏僻的，遥远的，通常指地理上的偏远。relevant相关的；切题的，中肯的。distinct独特的；不同的；明显的，清楚的。
32．A recede向后退，退却；减弱。在本句中指Manhattan(曼哈顿)在“我”的视野中慢慢减退。retreat不用于物，常用指军队撤退，带有明显的主观色彩，而曼哈顿是个地区，不会“撤退”。remove除去，迁移；开除。reverse颠倒，逆转；倒退。
33．D 句意：许多老房子都被拆卸，以便为新的建筑和停车场腾出地方。make room for是固定的说法，意思是“给…腾出地方”。give rise to引起，导致。provide for供给，为…作准备。
34．C 句意：既然我们现在有官方的参赛者名单了，我们就可以相应地做出最终的安排了。now that既然，由于。until直到。even though尽管。unless除非。只有选项C符合句意。
35．C 句意：他装得很严肃，但是事实是，由于某种原因，他并没有让人明白他开的玩笑。get across(使)被了解；讲清楚，让…听懂。get down取下；咽下；记下。get around规避；说服。get out离开，逃避；泄露；取出。除选项C外其他选项均不符合句意。
36．B 句意：我希望灯具和天花板齐平。flush with齐平的，同高的。
flat指平坦的，扁平的。parallel平行的。level也可以表达“同高度的；同水平的；相齐的”，但是应与with连用。
37．A would have done表示与过去的事实相反。受害者有测试装置，如
果使用了测试装置，那么就能识别出问题了，然而事实上他没有使用，所以也就没有识别出问题。would do表示与将来事实可能相反的假设和结果。will have done表示将来完成时态。will do是一般将来时。
38．D 句意：国会争论的问题是他们是否该保留“网络中立”这一概念。in question有疑问的；讨论中的；争执中的。in case假使，万一。in mind 在内心；考虑到，想到。in contradiction(with)与…相矛盾。只有选项D符合句子意思。
39．C evolve演化，逐渐发展。指军乐是从何发展而来的。expand扩充，扩展。通常指面积上的扩大。advance提高，增长。elevate提拔，鼓舞。battle战争，战斗。句中提及了军乐，就是为了刺激人们的心脏更快地跳动而为战斗做好准备。confrontation对抗，冲突。struggle斗争，奋斗。strife 争吵。结合两个空，仅有选项C最符合句子意思。
40．D be it此处有“不管是…，还是…”以及“包括”的意思。was it
时态与主句的carry不一致，可以排除。选择it is会使一个句子里有两个主语(people和it)，也可以排除。it being用于构成独立主格，而此句两个分
句的主语是一样的，也可以据此排除选项C。只有选项D是正确的。
41．D 此句中having been deserted用于描述explorers的状态，是已经被遗弃在雨林里。选项A中缺少被动态，可以排除。to do表示打算、计划
做，to have done则是表示本来打算做但实际上没做，是虚拟语气的用法。因此选项B和c都可以排除。余下的选项D为正确答案。
42．A 此处incidentally表示“附带提到，附带说一句”的意思。consequently所以，因此。subsequently后来，随后。accidentally偶然
地，意外地。只有选项A符合题意。
43．B 句意：没有比通过自己劳动获得的食物更好了，无论体力劳动还是脑力劳动都是一样的。用that指代前文出现过的food这一名词，避免重复。such也可以作代词，代替上述的人或事物，表示有同样特征，但此处要表达的正是不同特征的食物，故不能使用such。what在此处无法指代food。由于food为不可数名词，也不能用one代替。综上，只有选项B是正确的。
44．B 从上下文来看，Gina所说的话是询问一个问题，所以Ben才说I'll have a look，帮助Gina寻找答案，但是海报上没有提及(It doesn't say)。
可以排除非疑问句的选项C以及询问意见的选项A。又见选项D中的I can do that myself与后文的SO you'll have to ring tomorrow相矛盾，可以排除选项D。故只有选项B是正确的。
45．C 从男士第一个回答中提到的he buys all that stuff和clothes可以猜测对话者是想为父亲买东西，而不是怎么让他开心，什么时候出去或者他在哪里买东西。所以选项C是正确的。
Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Section A
46．C 文章第一句说I have been living in London for more than 60 years，住在伦敦六十多年了，然而还会catch myself thinking how extraordinary it is that I am doing this。此处的this正是指生活在伦敦那么久，并且如此熟悉，以致能够很聪明地从后巷抄近路。
47．A 在第二段中，作者描写七只天鹅在空中盘旋，从haunting、silence、splash-down等词能够看出其中的魔幻的意境。frightening令人恐惧的。deafening震耳欲聋的。disturbing令人不安的。
48．D 第四段第二句提到，过去，土地的拥有者是为了自己的利益在自己的领地里做改动，但是这次的改动是因为要帮助保护本地的野生生命。所以第三句中提到的it应该是指土地拥有者做出改动的原因，有所不同了。
49．A 第五段第一句提到second-homers, together with commuters, have come to be accepted as a vital part of the country scene，即这些外来的人已经被接纳，不再受到排斥，成为乡村的一个重要部分。
50．B 倒数第二段细说了乡村人生活的多彩，最后一句提到，the boring country life that people from cities talk about已然成为过去，并且，也许从来就只是一个不实的印象而已。
Section B
51．residential colleges
(在Residential colleges的介绍中提到它们通常提供all meals，也就是所有膳食。)
52．rent, gas and electricity

(Residential colleges一部分中说到这些colleges are located on campus，即在校园里。)
54．fully understand it
(Rules for Renting or Leasing的第(1)条提到签名之前一定make sure you fully understand。)
55．receipt
(Rules for Rending or Leasing的第(4)条提到当交房租的时候，Always get a receipt from the landlord/agent，向房东或代理索要收据。) Section C

2016年全国大学生英语能力竞赛攻略 学长分享英语竞赛技巧： 知己知彼百战不殆”，要想在全国大学生英语竞赛中取得好成绩，平时的积累是基础，而考前对考试的研究和分析以及练习则是升华。近几年来英语竞赛也在不断调整中。对我们来说，最重要的参考资料就是当年的竞赛样题，和官网的考试说明文件，从中我们可以了解到考试的题型、分值、时间分配、难度和新变化。只有这样我们才能对症下药，合理分配考试时间，获得最好的成绩。其实考试，一言以蔽之，就是尽量的规定时间内拿到最高的分数，分数越高，就意味着你越成功。由于每年试题结构、题型等都会有所变化，下面就以2010年的英语竞赛初赛试题为例，分析一下时间安排。今年初赛试题共分为七部分，时间120分钟，满分150分。七部分分别为听力、词汇与语法结构、完形填空、阅读理解、翻译、智力测试和写作。下面就分别进行分析。 第一部分是听力，由四部分组成，第一部分是五篇短对话，然后是两篇长对话，第三部分是五篇短新闻，第四部分是听写式填空。总分是30分，总的来说，听力的难度不算很大，应该是介于四、六级之间，大部分都可以直接从对话中找到原句和答案。但是还是有一定难度的。首先，前20道选择题都只读一遍，这和一般的考试不同，所以对选手就提出了更高的要求，必须从一开始就高度集中注意力，才能不遗漏重要信息。此外，听写式填空也是对基本知识的一个考查，经常有同学听到了却不会写，这需要我们打好自己的基础。这一部分要力争拿到20分以上。 第二部分是词汇与语法结构，这也是对“双基”知识的一个考查，可以说基本上是考查基本功的，当然我们也要注意，这其中对话类的应用题目也呈逐年上升的趋势。总分15分，官方建议完成时间是十分钟。这一部分要力争拿到10分以上。 第三部分是完形填空，也是我认为全卷除了智力测试以外最难的题目，题型包括根据上下文填空、根据给出的首字母填空、根据给出的单词的适当形式填空。分值是十分，官方建议完成时间是10分钟。这题不仅考查你的基本词汇语法知识，也考查你对文章的理解和把握。可以说是阅读+词汇的结合。要拿高分很难，但是其实还是有一些分好拿的，这一部分我们要力争拿到4分以上。 第四部分是阅读理解，总分40分，官方建议完成时间是25分钟。这是全卷分值最大的一道大题，也是时间最紧的。我估计绝大多数同学在25分钟内都没办法全部完成（我也很勉强）。这一部分我觉得最重要的还是把握文章的开头和结尾，了解主旨，然后根据题目去快速定位，因为这里的题目大部分都是在原文可以找到答案的。这一部分阅读量大、题型多样（包括选择题、问答题、是/否/未提及题，摘抄题、填空题等）、也是对同学英语应用能力的有力考查，还是要熟能生巧，在平时多加练习，力争达到又对又快的境界，这一部分要力争拿到25分以上。 第五部分是翻译，包括英译汉和汉译英两部分。共20分，官方建议完成时间是15分钟。这一部分可以说是全卷最简单的题型，考查的内容都没超过四级甚至是平常练习的难度，对英译汉，还是要花点时间看看文章开头和结尾，“磨刀不误砍柴工”，很多翻译都要根据上下文进行，才能更加的到位。有时在翻译中遇到生词，也可以根据上下文进行推断。比如今年的汉译英试题中多次提到“dropout”这个单词，我考试时也忘了这是什么意思，最后还是通过文章最后
