He had saved the life of someone with the same disease. The article said his fees were very high; Aunt Edith couldn’t possibly pay them. But could he tell her of someone whose fees she could pay?So Aunt Edith wrote to him.

There wasn’t a word of self-pity----only warmth and humor and the joy of living. She mailed the letter, not really expecting an answer.A few days later, my doorbell rang.

B. onesC. theseD. those学生答案: D; 标准答案: D;2.3. 试题分值：50.04. 得分：[5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5]5. 提示：[1]C.考查主谓一致。

首先我们根据文章可以看出时态应该是一般现在时，所以B和D全部排除。

解决此题还要用到一个知识点：当主语是分数或百分数时,谓语动词的单复数由of 后面的名词决定。

再看这句话的主语是“75% of the earth’s surface”（地球表面的75%），这个主语中的“surface”是不可数名词，所以后面的谓语用单数形式“is”。

[2]A.考查名词辨析。

本句大意是“这么多水量中有97%都是海水，或称作咸水”。

解题关键是“水量”用哪个词来表达。

因为“水的数量”是不可数的，所以选择一个不可数名词才可以，即amount。

number意思是“数目”，但是它表示的“数目”是可数的。

volume的意思是“体积，容量”，意思不适合这里。

size的意思是“尺寸”，意思也不适合。

[3]A.考查连词辨析。

根据本句的意思（上题已经提到），我们选择or，其意思是“或者说”，用来引导同义词作补充说明。

[4]C.考查名词辨析。

source的意思是“来源”，resource的意思是“资源”，origin的意思是“起源”。

original一般作形容词用，意思是“起初的，原始的”，作名词用时意思是“原件，原稿”。

本句表示“别的水源”，当然应选择source来表达。

[5]D.考查定语从句。

“fresh water”后面的那个句子是一个定语从句。

又因为这个定语从句是非限定性的（判断的标志是fresh water后面的那个逗号），所以只能选择which来做定语从句的引导词。

[6]C.考查固定搭配。

“need for”的意思是“对……的需求”。

本句大意是“我们对水的需求在不断增加――几乎与日俱增”。

[7]A.考查形容词辨析。

一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分）1. (错误) People have been talking about health for a long time because people know theimportance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress inscientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it usedto. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of yourbody, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closelyrelated to another term----quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life？One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could haveexpected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.1. ______leads to people's deeper understanding of health.A. Common knowledgeB. Progress in scientific researchC. Better conditions of livingD. Quality of life2. According to the passage, to people of today, health means______.A. absence of illnessB. a long lifeC. good conditions of livingD. overall satisfaction with life3. The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because_____.A. people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longerB. people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental healthC. people have realized the importance of mental well-beingD. people are inspired by medical advances4. We can infer from the passage______.A. nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because ofimprovements in the quality of foodB. the overall quality of people's lives improved greatly in the 20th centuryC. those who never fall ill are the truly healthy peopleD. those who were born before 1900 could not have lived until now5. This passage is mainly about____.A. different understandings of the term "health"B. improving the quality of lifeC. the importance of quality livingD. people's expectations of a long and healthy life试题分值：25.0得分：[0, 5, 5, 5, 5]提示：[1]B.细节题。

Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.1、What's the meaning for the word "parchment"?【B】A、The skin of young animals.B、A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.C、The paper used by European countries.D、The paper of Egypt.2、Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper?【A】A、More jobs could be provided than before.B、More people could be educated than before.C、More books could be printed and distributed.D、More ways could be used to exchange knowledge.3、When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely?【A】A、Around 1400.B、Around 1900.C、Around 400.D、Around 900.4、Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person ayear?【B】A、China.B、Sweden.C、Egypt.D、Japan.5、What is the main idea of this short talk?【C】A、More and more paper is being consumed nowadays.B、Paper enables people to receive education more easily.C、The invention of paper is of great significance to man.D、Paper contributes a lot to the keeping of historical records.Passage 2、DDADCBritain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war―which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac's body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug (拥抱), Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn't stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys (调查) show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France's close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain's close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of "doubtful friendship", they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here's one: What's the best thing about Britain's relationship with France?The English Channel.1、For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is________.【D】A、friendlyB、impoliteC、brotherlyDa mixture of love and hate2、The war in Iraq does to the relationship between France and Britain.【D】A、goodB、harmC、neither good nor harmD、both good and harm3、The British are not so friendly to and the French are not so friendly to________.【A】A、Germany; AmericaB、America; GermanyC、Germany; GermanyD、America; America4、 are more interested in having holidays in______.【D】A、American people... BritainB、British people… GermanyC、French people...

We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called "One On One" helps elementary students who've fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English. You'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors--he'll beavailable to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service.., and you'll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community.

She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales (称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn't lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage."What's wrong with this girl?" He said, "Why doesn't she hurry up?" He moved forward and placed hisbag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, "Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane.

City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands（任务）. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don't, waiters will hurry you.You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting" it beyond a certain courtesy point.The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called "a short fuse." We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return―be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a cafe or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.1、Which of the following statements is wrong?【D】A、Americans seem to be always under pressure.B、Americans attach less importance to patience.C、Americans don't care much about ritual socializing.D、Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.2、In the fourth paragraph, "a high priority" means_________.【B】A、a less important thingB、a first concernC、a good businessD、an attractive gift3、Americans evaluate a business colleague_________.【D】A、through social courtesyB、through prolonged business talksC、by establishing business relationsD、by learning about their past performance4、This passage mainly talks about___________.【A】A、how Americans treasure their timeB、how busy Americans are every dayC、how Americans do business with foreignersD、what American way of life is like5、We can infer from the passage that the author's tone in writing is__________.【C】A、criticalB、ironicalC、praisefulD、objectivePassage 6、CBDDDThe French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people's lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14，1789，they stormed and took the Bastille，where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792，the monarchy was abolished. In the same year，Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of Franc had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end，power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte.What's this passage about?FranceKing LouisThe French RevolutionEurope.Which did not happen in 1789 ?The French Revolution broke outThe national economy was developing rapidly.The government wasn't well run.King Louis XIV was in power.Where were the political prisoners kept?In Versailles.In AustriaIn PrussiaIn BastilleWhat does the underlined word “abolished” mean?Put off.Established.United.EndedWhat was NOT the effect of the Revolution?July 14 has become the French National Day.It brought some impact on the other European kings.Louis’s wife，Marie was killed.The king tried to control the national parliament试题分值：50.0得分：[10, 10, 10, 10, 10]提示：四、完形填空Passage 1、AECBD CDBEAMany students find the experience of attending university lectures to bea confusing and frustrating experience. The lecturer speaks for one or two hours, perhaps 1 the talk with slides, writing up important information on the blackboard, 2 reading material and giving out assignment. The new student sees the other students continuously writing on notebooks and 3 what to write. Very often the student leaves the lecture with notes which do not catch the main points and 4 become hard even for the students to understand.Most institutions provide courses which assist new students to develop the skills they need to be 5 listeners and note-takers. If these are unavailable, there are many useful study-skills guides which 6 learners to practice these skills independently. In all cases it is important to 7 the problem before actually starting your studies.
