FWhen John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couple – people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture that they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think. (248words)1. Which of the following has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses? ____________A. Selling home furnishings.B. Renting furnished apartments.C. Selling used furniture.D. Renting home furnishings.2. Why do some people prefer to rent furniture? ____________A. Because the furniture they get in this way is new.B. Because it saves them a lot of money.C. Because it saves them much trouble and money.D. Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.3. What can you infer from the passage? ____________A. The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.B. Renting furniture is not popular in the couple’s home town.C. Only those who don’t have enough money to rent furniture.D. People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.4. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? ____________A. Rent or Buy?B. A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings.C. Furnished Apartments.D. A New Idea.5. Young people liked renting home furniture in that __________.A. They have less moneyB. They don’t want to buy old furnitureC. The new furniture is of good qualityD. They don’t have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furnitureKEY：DCBBDPassage 18A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man —the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual（体力的）labor is now still seen many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously（豪华地）furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.1. From paragraph 1, we know that in America _______.A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their own effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors2. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _______.A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food3. The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_______”.A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurant4. The author’s attitude towards manual（体力的）labor is _______.A. positiveB. negativeC. humorousD. critical5. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. A Respectable Self-made Family.B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor.C. Characteristics of American Culture.D. The Development of Manual Labor.KEY：ABDAB81.-Did the medicine make you feel better?-No, the more ________ , ________I feel.A medicine I take; and the worseB medicine I take; the worseC I take medicine; the worseD I take medicine; worse82.

This may seem strange to you, since nearly75% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge 1 is seawater, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% of the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other 2 . And we can't even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted. However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, 3 is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-almost day by day. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our4 water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments havealready been done in this 5 , but only on a small scale. The systems that have been worked out resemble those used in spacecraft.1. A. field B. sources C. which D. precious E. amount2. A. field B. sources C. which D. precious E. amount3.

For example, oneadvantage 2 to the education inJapan is that students there learn muchmore math and science 3than American students. They alsostudy more hours each day thanAmericans 4 do . The study isdifficult, but it 5prepares students for a society thatvalues discipline and self-control. Thereis, however, a disadvantage.Memorization is an important learningmethod in Japanese schools, 6yet many students say that after anexam, they forget much of theinformation that they have memorized.The advantage to the education in NorthAmerica, 7 on the other hand, isthat students learn to think bythemselves. The system prepares themfor a society that values 8new ideas. There is, however, adisadvantage. When students graduatefrom high school, they haven’tmemorized 9 as many basic rulesand facts as students in other countries10 have .Passage 2A study has shown that fitness is thekey 1 to long life, irrespective ofbody shape 2 or even smokinghabits. Researchers discovered thatpeople who exercise live longerthan 3those who do not , even ifthey are overweight and smoke.The study found that 4 the least fit ofthe 6,000 middle-aged men in the studywere five times more likely to diewithin six years of the start of theresearch than the fittest. This wastrue 5 whether or not the men hadheart problems, smoked or wereoverweight. Scientists concluded that itwas better 6 to be fat and active thanskinny and sedentary. Dr Ken cooper, afitness expert, said, “ You are better offsmoking a packet of cigarettes a dayand exercising regularly than 7being a non –smoker and sedentary.”Although he adds, “But don’tmisunderstand me. I am notendorsing 8 smoking , I am tryingto tell you how dangerous it is to besedentary.”The British Government is puttingpressure 9 on manufacturers toreduce high levels of sugar in food andto restrict the hard-sell of junk food tochildren in order to improve thenation’s health.

Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn't serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, but let it becarried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony.

Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, anychanges the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.(1)、What makes a scientist according to the passage? ________A：The tools he uses.B：The way he uses his tools.C：His ways of learning.D：The various tools he uses.答案： B(2)、The underlined part in the passage shows_______.A：the importance of informationB：the importance of thinkingC：the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD：the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs.答案： C(3)、A sound scientific theory should be one that _________.A：works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB：does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC：can be used for many purposesD：leave no room for improvement答案： A(4)、The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate __________.A：that measurements are keys to success in scienceB：that accuracy of mathematicsC：that investigations are important in scienceD：that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations答案： C(5)、What is the main idea of the passage? ________A：The theory of relativity.B：Exactness is the core of science.C：Scientists are different from ordinary people.D：Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.答案： D三、词汇与语法1、On average, a successful lawyer has to talk to several _______ a day.A：customersB：supportersC：guestsD：clients答案： D2、 Tom, what did you do with my documents?

So he asked him for help.Atlas answered, "My head and arms and shoulders all ache. Could you hold up the sky while I fetch the golden apples for you?"Hercules climbed the mountain and shouldered the sky. Soon the sky grew very heavy. When finally Atlas came back with three golden apples, he said, "Well, you are going to carry the mountain for ever. I'm going to see the king with the apples." Hercules knew that he couldn't fight him because of the sky on his back, So he shouted:"Just one minute's help. My shoulders are hurting, Hold the sky for a minute while I make a cushion (垫子) for my shoulders."Atlas believed him.

Yan, an elderly lady about 60, had served as committee director for more than 20 years; her major work was to rouse her neighbors from their sleep to get water. As time went by, residents could not go to sleep before one o’clock in the morning.Chaoyang Street was not the only street in Taiyuan that lacked water, and Taiyuan was not the only city in China with water in short supply.Niu Maosheng, Minister of Water Resources, told China Today that more than 300 cities nationwide lack water; in 108 cities the situation has become critical. The annual deficit of water has reached 6 billion cubic meters, leading to a loss of RMB 200 billion (approximately US $24 billion) in industrial output.1.As neighborhood committee director, the major part of Yan Xinzhi’s job was to wake up her neighbors at midnight to get water.A.

It is very rare for a person to be blind to all colors, but they may see everything in shades of black, white, and gray.It is interesting to note that many color-blind people don’t even realize that they arecolor-b lind. They don’t know that the colors they are seeing and naming are not the actual colors that people with normal vision can see. This can be particularly dangerous when a color-blind person confuses the red and green of a traffic light.Color blindness is thought to be inherited (遗传). And although doctors have thought up tests to determine（测定）color blindness, there is no cure to treatment for it.1. A color-blind person can tell correctly red and green.A. TB. F2.

Comprehension(30 points)Directions：There are three passages in this part．Each passage is followed by five questions．For each question there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center．Passage 1Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence．They show that he was learning Latin，was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society，and was reading English literature．At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics．In fact，his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman，and incomplete．For unlike other young Virginian of that day，he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg．In terms of formal training then，Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams，Thomas Jefferson and James Madison．In later years，Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training．He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress（国会），or on any subject that had not to do with everyday，practical matters．And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders，he did not visit the country he admired so much．Thus，unlike Jefferson and Adams，he never reached Europe．31．Why didn’t Washington go to college？A．His family could not afford it．B．A college education was rather uncommon in his time．C．He didn’t like the young Virginian gentlemen．D．The author doesn’t give any reason．32．Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he__________．A．lacked practice in public speakingB．felt his education was not good enoughC．didn’t like arguing and debating with peopleD．felt that debating was like intellectual training33．The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he__________．A．didn’t really care about goingB．didn’t know French leadersC．couldn’t co mmunicate directly with the French leadersD．was too busy to travel34．According to the author，__________．A．Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in la ter lifeB．Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak FrenchC．Washington was not as good a president as Adams，Jefferson or MadisonD．Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen35．The main idea of the passage i s that Washington’s education__________．A．was of great variety，covering many subjectsB．was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his timeC．may seem poor by modern standards，but was good enough for his timeD．was rather limited for a presidentPassage 2Like most people，I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting．It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery：giving－away makes life so much more exciting．You need not worry if you lack money．This is how I experimented with giving－away．If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me，I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper．One discovery I made about giving－away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back，though the return often comes in an unexpected form．One Sunday morning the coal post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home，though it was addressed to me at my office．I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation．More than a year later I needed a post－office box for a new business I was starting．I was told at the window that there were no boxes left，and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list．As I was about to leave，the postmaster appeared in the doorway．He had overheard（无意中听到）our conversation．“Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home？”I said yes．“well，you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you．You don’t know what a letter like that means to us．We usually get nothing but complaints．”36．From the passage，we understand that__________．A．the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirtiesB．the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than giversC．the author received the same education as most people during his childhoodD．the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting 37．According to the author__________．A．giving means you will lack moneyB．the excitement of giving can bring you moneyC．you don’t have to be rich in order to giveD．when you give away money, you will be rich38．The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper__________．A．in writing B．in personC．in the window display D．about the neighborhood39．When the author needed a pest－office box,__________．A．he had to put his name on a waiting listB．he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciationC．many people had applied for post－office boxes before himD．he asked the postmaster to make one for him40．In reply to the postmaster’s question，the author said__________．A．it was the special deliveryB．it was the post－office boxC．it was the note of appreciation he wroteD．it was he who wrote him a letter a year agoPassage 3Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families．Television is the most significant of these influences，because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school．Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children．The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them．Studies indicate that，when children are exposed to violence，they many become aggressive or insecure．Parents are also concerned about the commercials that their children see on television．Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children．And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers．Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of．The most famous of these is Sesame Street，which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet（字母）and numbers．It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live．Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality，some critics argue that all television，whether educational or not，is harmful to children．These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive（被动的）consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it．41．Which of the following statements is NOT based on the passage？A．Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children．B．Television has much influence on children．C．Both parents and their children like watching educational television．D．Some critics think that television is no good for children．42．In what ways do children suffer from television？A．They become the victims of social violence．B．They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work．C．The programs make the children lose interest in the world．D．The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money．43．Parents would not like their children to see commercials because__________．A．they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertisingB．commercials teach children alphabet and numbersC．commercials help to sell productsD．they don’t like co mmercials44．Educational television is widely appreciated because__________．A．it does have the same commercials as othersB．it offers programs for both children and their parentsC．many parents like the programs it offers for their childrenD．children can learn some school subjects before they go to school45．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage？A．Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Young MindsB．Television Is More Harmful than EducationalC．Television’s Influence on ChildrenD．More Education TelevisionPart TV Vocabulary and Structure(25 points)Section ADirections：In this section there are 15 incomplete sentences．For each

1If you've been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.Throughout the world,every night children and their elders are “talking” online ─ many of them are talking at the same time.It's fast: trying talking to six people once.It's convenient: three or four words per exchange.It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language.There's neither time nor space for explanations.Why waste precious time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back)will do?Want to enter a conversation?

壹、交际用语的考查形式一、给出问语，选答语（常考）二、给出问语的一部分，补充完整问语三、给出答语，选问语四、给出答语的一部分，补充完整答语说明：给出问语或答语的一部分，这就给了考生更多的提示，缩小了选择的范围，在一定程度上降低了试题的难度。

在做类似考题时，应抓住题干中已有文字提供的信息，选择最符合题意的选项，排除干扰项。

例如：—Would you like another slice of Christmas cake?—I’m full.A. Yes, please.B. No more, thanks.C. Why not?D. Nothing more.讲解：第一说话人询问对方“你要不要再吃一块圣诞蛋糕？”，根据答者的第二句话I’m full.“我吃饱了”，推断出前一句的答语应该是No more, thanks“吃不下了，谢谢”。

而选项A，C 表示接受邀请，D表示“没有什么（要说/做）的了”，均不符合题意，可直接排除。

所以选B。

贰、交际用语的答题方法一、答语的三个原则在学习、使用和复习交际用语部分时，大家要掌握使用交际用语的几个原则：A. 礼貌原则无论在任何场合、表达什么看法/情感，发话/发问和应答都要有礼貌，即使表达不同看法或批评意见，也要委婉间接表达，使对方听起来不刺耳，例如：— Do you think I can use your car for one day?—.A. I’m afraid not.B.

Passage 1In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)6. What is the main idea of this passage? __________ 以下哪项表达了本文的中心思想？A. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B. The role of time in social life over the world. 世界各地时间在社会生活中扮演的角色。
