Dialogue Completion
Part I Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are ten incomplete sentences
in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that best completes the sentence. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET
with a single line through the center.
1． The number of people invited__________fifty，but a number of
them__________absent for different reasons.
A．were．was
B．was，was
C．was，were
D．were，were
正确答案：C
解析：被邀者数量为50，但是很多人因为各种原因而缺席。本题考查主谓一致。The number of+可数名词复数形式+单数谓语，表示“数量”；a number of+可数名词复数形式+复数谓语，表示“很多”。故选C。
2． The man was under so much stress for such a long time that he
finally______.
A．broke down
B．broke up
C．broke out
D．broke in
正确答案：A
解析：本题属于固定搭配词组的正确用法。A选项意思为“(身体)垮掉了”，最符合上下文的意思。其他选项意思不适合语境要求。
3． As teachers we should concern ourselves with what is said, not what we
think______.
A．ought to be said
B．must say
C．have to be said
D．need to say
正确答案：A
解析：本题空格处是说不是我们认为应该说什么。句中的”we think”为插入语，根据与空格相对应的”what is said”，排除B项和D项，又因 what 作单数处
理，C项错。因此A项为正确答案。
4． American football and baseball are becoming known to the British public
through televised ______ from the United States.
A．transfer
B．deliveries
C．transportation
D．transmissions
正确答案：D
解析：四选项的意思分别是：”转变，调整，转换”；”送货，发表”；”运输”；”传递，发射”。
5． After a few rounds of talks, both sides regarded the territory dispute ______.
A．being settled
B．to be settled
C．had settled
D．as settled
正确答案：D
解析：B项regard sth. to be done和D项regard sth. as done这两种结构都成立，但前者属非正规用法，在正式考题中，当选D项。
6． With trees，flowers and grass__________everywhere，my hometown had
taken on a new look.
A．planted
B．planting
C．to plant
D．to be planted
正确答案：A
解析：翻译：我的家乡旧貌换新颜，到处是树木、花朵和草地。 本题考查“with或without+名词／代词+分词／不定式”的复合结构。选择过去分词、现在分词或是不定式取决于该动作和前面名词的逻辑关系和动作发生的状态。该题中，trees，flowers and grass与plant是动宾关系，且动作已经发生过了，所以要选过去分词planted。故答案为A。
7． The last half of the nineteenth century______the steady improvement in the
means of travel.
A．has witnessed
B．was witnessed
C．witnessed
D．is witnessed
正确答案：C
解析：根据主语可判断出时间为过去时。
8． She wasn’t feeling very well; otherwise, she ______ the meeting so early.
A．wouldn’t leave
B．wouldn’t have left
C．didn’t leave
D．hadn’t left
正确答案：B
解析：本句意思是”她不舒服，要不然就不会这么早离开会议了”。对过去事情进行反事实假设，要用情态动词加现在完成时。故选择wouldn’t have left。
9． He’s only got one shirt because all the rest ______ being washed.
A．is to be
B．is
C．will be
D．are
正确答案：D
解析：本题考查被动语态的时态和主谓一致关系。可排除A、C项，shirt为可数名词，题句中all the rest则应表示复数概念，故答案为D项。
10． We find such shrubs ______ will best stand up to (抵御) hard weather.
A．which
B．as
C．what
D．who
正确答案：B
解析：as可在“such…as”、“the same…as”和“as…as”等结构中作关系代词，引导定语从句。在“such…as”结构中，as有时用that替换。
Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages,
each followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are
four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on
the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.
Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and
animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children
would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did
not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn it to keep
away from the fire that had burn it before. A really fearless soldier—and some do
exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use
to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals
might soon die out. In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be
properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger
of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you
too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: an airplane may crash on
your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter
falls on you, or you may get cancer! The important thing is not to let fear rule you,
but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then
you have to decide what action to take. In many cases, you can take quick and
successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight
towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well. In some
cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger.
For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing onto your house. In this case,
