C.So his intelligence is concerned

D.As far as his intelligence are concerned

A 考查固定搭配。句意：就智力而言，他并非是一位非常聰明的學生。as far as…be concerned為固定詞組，意為“就……而言”。又因為intelligence一詞為不可數(shù)名詞，故選A。

A.to stay

B.is to stay at

12.The ancient Egyptians are supposed rockets to the moon.

A.to send

B.to be sending

C.to have sent

D.to have been sending

C 考查不定式完成式的用法。句意：據(jù)推測，古埃及人曾向月球發(fā)射過火箭。send為短暫性動詞，不能用進行時態(tài)，所以B、D兩項錯誤。A項和C項的區(qū)別在于不定式的時態(tài)，句首表示時間概念的ancient表明不定式動作在句子謂語動作之前發(fā)生，不定式須用完成式，故C項正確。

13.It is kind you to do me a favor at this moment.

B.for

C.of

D.about

16.Many a young scientist engaged in the research work.

A.have

B.has

C.have been

D.has been

D 考查主謂一致。句意：很多年輕的科學家都投入到這一項研究工作中來?！癿any a +可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)”作主語時，謂語動詞應(yīng)用單數(shù)形式。另外，be engaged in是固定搭配，表示“忙于，從事于”。

17.Mr.Verder never thought that he would become a member of the board of directors because of his origin.

A.humble

B.previous

C.critical

D.false

A 考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：由于出身卑微，弗爾德先生從未想過他會成為董事會的一員。humble卑微的;previous先前的，以前的;critical批評的;false錯誤的。

20.You cannot be careful when you drive a car.

A.very

B.so

C.too

D.enough

C 考查常用表達方法。句意：駕駛汽車時，怎么小心都不過分?！癱annot be too+形容詞”構(gòu)成特殊用法，意為“無論多么……都不為過”。其他幾項不合句意。

Directions:For each blank in the following passage,there are four choices marked A，B，C and D.Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

That’s 34 specialists say that in the future, home shopping will 35 together with store shopping but will never entirely replace it.

Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension(60 points)

Directions:There are five reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by four questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A，B，C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

We can make mistakes at any age.Some mistakes we make are about money.But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?”“When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back, it’s too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.And if we don’t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly.But“l(fā)ucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words.Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.But bringing in the “dog” puts you down a little.What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.

“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another.It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole.But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important.It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

36.According to the author,the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that .

A.we fail to listen carefully when they talk

B.people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say

C.people usually state one thing but mean another

D.we tend to doubt what our friends say

C 推理判斷題。由第二段第二句及第三段首句可知，有時人們所說的話掩飾了其真實含義，而且言不由衷。故選C。

37.In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself” in paragraph 2, the pronoun “it” refers to .

A.being friendly

B.a bit of envy

C.lucky dog

D.your luck

B 詞語理解題。本句中的it指的就是上句提到的a bit of envy。

38.When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is to .

A.notice the way the person is talking

B.take a good look at the person talking

C.mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes

D.examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture

D 事實細節(jié)題。文章最后一段告訴我們要想弄懂一個人說話的真實含義，就要注意他說話的方式、語調(diào)和姿態(tài)。D項概括全面，故選D。

39.The author most probably is a .

A.teacher

B.psychologist

C.philosopher

D.doctor

B 推理判斷題。通過了解文章的意思，我們可以看出作者分析了交際過程的心理因素，并從心理學角度提出建議，以使人們少犯錯誤。由此可知，作者可能是個心理學家。

Passage Two

There is no creature that does not need sleep or complete rest every day.

If you want to know why, just try going without sleep for a long period of time.You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work properly.You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work.So sleep is quite simply the time when the cells of your body recover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.

One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are unconscious in sleep.We do not know what is going on around us.But that doesn’t mean the body stops all activity.The important organs continue to work during sleep, but most of the body functions are slowed down.

For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper.The heart beats more slowly, and the blood pressure is lower.Our arms and legs become limp(柔軟的)and muscles are at rest.It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake.So sleep does for us what the most quiet rest can not do.

Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep, which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers.And even though you are unconscious, many of your reflexes(反射動作)still work.For instance, if someone tickles(使覺得癢)your foot, you will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead.You do these things without knowing it.

40.If you don’t have as much sleep as your body needs, you will .

A.work properly

B.think clearly

C.keep your attention on your work

D.easily get angry

D 事實細節(jié)題。文章第二段第三句指出，如果睡眠不足，人們會容易發(fā)怒，思路也會變得不清晰，而且很難專注于工作。

41.The cells of your body develop supplies of energy .

A.when you are asleep

B.when you recover from your work of the day

C.in the next period of activity

D.when you are quiet

A 事實細節(jié)題。文章第二段最后一句指出,睡眠時是身體的細胞從整天的忙碌中恢復(fù)并為下一個階段的活動增加能量供應(yīng)的時間。故選A。

42.In the clause“…that we are unconscious in sleep”(Para.3),the word “unconscious” means .

A.untiring

B.unmoved

C.quiet

D.not knowing what is happening around

D 詞語理解題。本句出現(xiàn)于文章的第三段第一句，接下來的一句是對unconscious一詞的進一步解釋，即do not know what is going on around us。

43.When you are sleeping, .

A.all of you reflexes stop working

B.most of your reflexes stop working

C.many of your reflexes still work

D.all of your reflexes still work

C 推理判斷題。文章第三段最后一句的意思是，睡眠中，身體的重要器官繼續(xù)工作，但是身體大部分的功能放慢了,且從最后一段“…many of your reflexes still work”一句我們得出，答案為C。

Passage Three

Space is a dangerous place，not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sun and other stars.The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth.Light gets through，and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat.Heat，too，makes our environment endurable.Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space，but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off.As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation.But their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft，if they are inside,do prevent a lot of radiation damage.

Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space.The unit of radiation is called “rem”.Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged;the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on.The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage—a person may feel perfectly well，but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged，and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed(畸形的)children or even grandchildren.Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and，during the outward and return journeys，the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems.So far，no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported，but the Apollo missions have been quite short.We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere，working in a space laboratory.Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation，but no really effective ones have been found so far.

44.According to the first paragraph，the atmosphere is essential to man in that .

A.it protects him against the harmful rays from space

B.it provides sufficient light for plant growth

C.it supplies the heat necessary for human survival

D.it screens off the falling meteors

A 推斷判斷題。由第一段可知，流星和來自太陽及其他星體的射線，使得宇宙空間成為危險之地，而大氣層可以充當?shù)厍虻谋Ｗo毯。由此可知，大氣層在保護人類不受有害射線的輻射方面至關(guān)重要，故選A。

45.We know from the passage that .

A.exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal

B.the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming

C.radiation is avoidable in space exploration

D.astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage

B 推理判斷題。由第二段第四句可知，輻射對人體的危害一時難以顯現(xiàn)，它可能會在其子女或?qū)O子女的身上體現(xiàn)出來。B項符合題意，故選B。

46.It can be inferred from the passage that .

A.the Apollo mission was very successful

B.protection from space radiation is no easy job

C.astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren

D.radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers

B 推理判斷題。由最后一句“Drugs might…but no really effective ones have been found so far.”可知，目前人類還沒有找到有效的方法去避免輻射的危害，所以免受輻射危害并非易事，故選B。

47.The best title for this passage would be .

A.The Atmosphere and Our Environment

B.Research on Radiation

C.Effects of Space Radiation

D.Importance of Protection Against Radiation

C 主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文章開頭提到，宇宙空間里存在很多輻射，第二段又緊緊圍繞輻射對人類的影響展開論述。C項符合題意，故選C。

Passage Four

How men first learned to invent words is unknown;in other words, the origin of language is a mystery.All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other;and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down.Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words.

The power of words, then, lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience;and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past;and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions.This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary(文字的)style.Above all,the real poet is a master of words.He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately,or they will make our speech silly and rude.

48.The origin of language .

A.is a legend handed down from the past

B.is reflected in sounds and letters

C.dates back to the prehistoric period

D.is a problem not yet solved

D 事實細節(jié)題。文章第一段第一句指出,我們還不知道人們第一次是怎樣創(chuàng)造單詞的，換句話說，語言的來源仍是個謎(the origin of language is a mystery),還沒有得到解決。故選D。

49.One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions is that .

A.they could agree upon certain signs

B.they could write them down

C.they could communicate with each other

D.they could combine them

C 事實細節(jié)題。文章第一段第二句指出，人們創(chuàng)造某些聲音來表達自己的思想感情、行動和事物，目的是他們可以互相交流。故選C。

50.What is true about words?

A.They are used to express feelings only.

B.They can not be written down.

C.They are represented either by sounds or letters.

D.They are visual letters.

C 事實細節(jié)題。文章第一段講到，人類起初用某種聲音進行交流，后來又有了字母，字母結(jié)合起來可以代表聲音，也可以寫下來。因此這些說出來的聲音也好，用字母寫出來的聲音也好，都被我們稱為words。故選C。

51.The real power of words exists in their .

A.accuracy

B.beauty

C.charm

D.representative function

D 推理判斷題。由文章第二段第一句“The power of words,then,lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds.”可知,words的魅力在于它的代表性功能(representative function)。

Passage Five

It is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don’t believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Ricketts.

My three had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing. They did not tell; they catalyzed a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable. But most important of all, the truth, that dangerous stuff, became beautiful and very precious.

I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery.

She aroused us to shouting, book waving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didn’t even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies.

I can tell my son who looks forward with horror to fifteen years of drudgery that somewhere in the dusty dark a magic may happen that will light up the years if he is very lucky.

52.According to the author, what is the most difficult thing to people in school?

A.Listening.

B.Reading.

C.Writing.

D.Speaking.

B 事實細節(jié)題。從文章第一段第三句“Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing…”可知,讀是最難的。B項為正確答案。

53.The very best of the author is that he .

A.met a good teacher

B.he graduated from Stanford

C.made friends with his teachers

D.met some good teachers in his life

D 事實細節(jié)題。從文章第一段第五句“Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck.”可知，最大的幸運是一生中遇到幾位好老師(met some good teachers in his life)。D項為正確答案。

54.Among his teachers, left him a very deep impression.

A.the university teacher

B.the high school teacher

C.Ed Ricketts

D.the first two teachers

B 推理判斷題。從文章第三段開頭“I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery.”可以推出，“my first teacher”(高中教科學和數(shù)學的老師)給作者留下了很深的印象。B項為正確答案。

55.The author hoped that his son .

A.may be lucky to meet a good teacher

B.may study in school for fifteen years

C.can read many books

D.may study science and math

A 推理判斷題。從文章最后一段“…somewhere in the dusty dark a magic may happen that will light up the years…”可以推斷，作者希望兒子在15年的上學苦役中可以幸運地遇到好老師(may be lucky to meet a good teacher)。A項為正確答案。

Directions:For this part,you are supposed to write a composition in English in 100-120 words based on the following information.Remember to write it clearly.

61.以“Failure and Success”為題寫一篇短文，內(nèi)容包括：

(1)人生中遭遇失敗很常見;

(2)每個人都渴望成功;

(3)失敗是走向成功的必經(jīng)之路。

Failure and Success

Failure is a common thing in one’s life. Almost everyone experiences failure in his life. When one fails in doing something, he often feels upset. Some people may move back facing failure. But others will stick on and achieve the final success.

Success is what everyone expects. It may lead to fame and glory. When one succeeds in doing something, he gets so excited that he often forgets all the attempts he has done.

Failure is an important factor toward success. As the old saying goes, “Failure teaches success.” The way to success is full of various difficulties. Many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failures. And only those successes which have been achieved after many failures are really valuable and praiseworthy.
