Part I Writing

1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the

importance of reading ability and how to develop it. You should write at least 120

words but no more than 180 words.

正确答案： How to Develop English Reading Ability?Reading is an

important part of our lives, for it is the major source of acquiring knowledge. Faced

with different kinds of tests, college students should give top priority to reading in

English learning. The importance of English reading ability is self-evident. First of

all, it is the basis for other abilities such as writing and speaking. Reading English

materials can help internalize language and cultivate our own language sense. As we

read, we encounter many words, phrases and grammatical forms. Having learned

these, we may be able to greatly improve writing ability in turn. Second, it can

increase our interest in learning English and broaden our horizons. How can we

develop English reading ability? For one thing, we should start with some simple,

interesting English stories, and then move on to some challenging ones like the

English magazines or novels. For another, we should try to memorize some English

materials and well-written sentences, especially the words and grammars used in them.

By doing this, we can grasp the rules and collocations in English and enhance our

language sense. In conclusion, strong reading ability is really effective and will

definitely bring benefits to English comprehensive learning.

Part II Listening Comprehension

Section A

听力原文：(1) A message in a bottle sent out to sea by a New Hampshire man

more than five decades ago was found 1,500 miles away, and has been returned to his

daughter. The long lost message was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while he

was vacationing. Buffington says he found a soda bottle half-buried in the sand that

looked like it had been there since the beginning of time. The note inside the bottle

said, “Return to 419 Ocean Street, and receive a reward of $150 from Richard and

Tina Pierce, owners of the beachcomber motel.” The motel was owned by the

parents of Paula Pierce in 1960. Her father had written the note as a joke and had

thrown it into the Atlantic Ocean. Buffington flew to New Hampshire to deliver the

message to Paula Piece. (2) She held up to her father’s promise, giving Buffington

that reward. But the biggest reward is the message in the bottle finding its way back

home. Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard. 1.

What is the news report mainly about? 2. Why did Paula Pierce give Clint

Buffington the reward?

2．

A．The return of a bottled message to its owner’ s daughter.

B．A New Hampshire man’ s joke with friends on his wife.

C．A father’ s message for his daughter.

D．The history of a century-old motel.

正确答案：A

解析：浏览四个选项，从选项中的bottled message，father’s message，daughter可推测，此题与一位父亲投递的漂流瓶中的信息有关。题干问的是这篇新闻报道主要是关于什么的。新闻开头提到50多年前美国新罕布什尔州的一名男子向海里扔了一个漂流瓶，漂流瓶在1500英里远的地方被发现了，并且已经归还到了他女儿的手中。由此可知，这篇新闻主要讲的是漂流瓶中的信息回到了主人女儿的手中，故答案为A。B项(新罕布什尔州一名男子和朋友开了一个关于他妻子的玩笑)和D项(百年汽车旅馆的历史)新闻均未提及，故排除。新闻中只是提到漂流瓶已经归还到了主人女儿的手中，但并没说漂流瓶中的信息是写给谁的，C项(一位父亲留给女儿的信息)与新闻内容不符，故排除。

3．

A．She wanted to show gratitude for his kindness.

B．She wanted to honor her father’ s promise.

C．She had been asked by her father to do so.

D．She was excited to see her father’ s handwriting.

正确答案：B

解析：浏览四个选项，从选项中的show gratitude，honor her father’s promise，father’s handwriting等词可推测，此题与做某事的原因有关。题干问的是为什么宝拉-皮尔斯要给克林特-巴芬顿奖励。新闻的最后提到宝拉-皮尔斯遵循了父亲的承诺，给了巴芬顿相应的奖励，故答案为B。A项(她想感谢他的善良)、C项(她的父亲要求她这么做)和D项(她很高兴能看到父亲的笔迹)新闻均未提及，故排除。
