Section CArabs consider it (15) extremely bad manner to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government official or (16)executive always takes (17) extra time to be polite and offer (18)refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this (19) hospitality.Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a (20)vagueness in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a (21)newcomer. Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions. Patience is an important (22)quality. You may have to wait two or three days to see high level government officials as they are very busy. Give yourself enough time. Personal relationships are very important. They are the key to do business in Arab countries. (23)Try to identify the decisionmaker regarding your product or services immediately and get to know him on a friendly basis. Do your homework. Be prepared to discuss details of your product or proposal. Be ready to answer technical questions. When an Arab says yes, he may mean “maybe”. When he says maybe, he probably means “no”. You will seldom get a direct “no” from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Also, he does not want to close his options. Instead of “no”, he will say “inshalah” which means, “if God is willing”. (24)On the other hand, “yes” does not necessarily mean “yes”. A smile and slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest. Section DAnd now for the Monday Morning weather report.Right now the skies over the Chicago area are sunny and clear.We are expecting warm dry weather to continue throughout the day with temperatures in the middle to upper 80s.Winds will continue to be slightly variable as high as ten miles per hour.We are going to have fair weather continuing over the next couple of days so that means clear and somewhat cooler weather tonight.Tomorrow will be sunny again and quite warm.No precipitation is expected for at least three or four days. Questions 25 to 27 are based on the passage youve just heard:25.Who is the speaker? 26.What will the daytime weather probably be like on Tuesday morning? 27.Whats the long range forecast for the next few days? There is a strange area in the Atlantic Ocean called the Bermuda Triangle.People have been fascinated by the Bermuda Triangle for years,because of the mysterious disappearance of many ships and planes in the area.There is hardly any agreement about the cause of these disappearance,in fact,it is difficult to find any agreement about the boundaries of the area.Whereas most people argue that the triangles northern most point is Bermuda,its western most point is Florida,and its eastern point is the coast of Africa,a few researchers prefer the northern point to be in the Boston area. Questions 28 to 30 are based on the passage youve just heard: 28.On what do most people agree? 29.What did the speaker say have been lost in the Bermuda Triangle? 30.Where is the Bermuda Triangle? Two bombs exploded in Algeria Tuesday as a European Union team met with government leaders to discuss the wave of civilian massacres.One bomb went off at a bus center in the center of the capital of Algiers,killing one person,and an hour later,another bomb blew up in the coastal town of Annaba, killing 3 others.The Alge rians agreed to allow European Union deputy foreign ministers into discuss the situation but again,turned down any UN investigation. Questions 31 to 34 are based on the passage youve just heard: 31.What happened in Algeria Tuesday? 32.Where did the first bomb go off? 33.How many people were killed in the two bombings? 34.What did the Algerians reject?答案详解Part Listening Comprehension 1.答案D。 解题思路注意地点的把握。 详细解答文中虽然听到了“art gallery”; “airport”; “conference”;但针对问题，都没有足够的证据，而选项D有足够的证据，因为对话开头是“You will be in Room 207.Here is your key, and ”，所以D是正确的。 2. 答案A。 解题思路注意对文章内容的分析，抓住关键点。 详细解答虽然对话主要谈的是旅游观光的事宜，但这并不是Ms Cook此行的主要目的，因为对话中Ms Cook说“the conference I am attending”。所以A是正确答案。 3. 答案C。 解题思路对文章细节的选取。 详细解答细节题。A、B、D都没有足够的证据；C项是正确答案，因为Ms Cook说：“The city I come from has a good planetarium”。 4. 答案 B 解题思路从容易混淆的选项中辨认出正确答案。 详细解答几个选项乍一看比较混乱，但从所给材料来看应选B ，因为Ms Cook 说：“I rented a car at the airport”；当被建议看到瀑布的标记时，可以步行一段路，Ms Cook说：“That sounds great.” 5.答案A。 【试题分析】本题考查对时间的计算，应根据关键词来推理。 【关键词语】8：30，35minutes,to get there. 【详细解答】从选项分析，此对话的问题一定与时间有关，可判定为“when.?”或“what time.?”，因此要特别注意对话中的时间。the woman回答说芭蕾8：30开始，但他们还有35分钟的时间，故可推断出此时为7：55，所以选A。 6.答案C。 【试题分析】本题考查数据的理解。【关键词语】won 3 times,lost 5 times,tied twice 【详细解答】从选项分析，此对话的问题一定与数据有关，可初步判定为“How many.”，因此要特别注意对话中的数据。the man回答说他们赢了3次，输了5次，平了2次，故答案为C。 7.答案C。 【试题分析】本题考查文中信息的发生地，应根据对话内容的关键词来推断。 【关键词语】flight attendant,welcome aboard 【详细解答】从选项分析，此对话的问题与地点有关，可判定为“where.”,因此要根据对话中所暗含的内容来分析。the woman说“我是Roseanne,空中乘务员，欢迎登机”，这就明显地说明此对话在飞机上发生，故答案为C。 8.答案B。 【试题分析】本题考查对具体细节的把握和推理。 【关键词语】born in Switzerland and grew up in Sweden,a citizen of England 【详细解答】从选项分析，此对话的问题与地点有关，因此可判定问题为“where.”或“which country.?”the woman说Suzanne出生在瑞士，长在瑞典，但她现在是英格兰公民。因此答案为B。 9.答案C。 【试题分析】本题考查对文中信息的理解和辨识。 【关键词语】watch the soccer game,then,the documentary on volcanoes. 【详细解答】the man回答说他今晚不看电视上播放的电影，但他首先要看足球赛，再看有关火山的记录片。故答案应为C。 10.答案D。 【试题分析】本题考查对文中细节的辨识。 【关键词语】choose more appropriate questions 【详细解答】the

woman回答说她今天早上睡过了头，又没搭上车，所以迟到了。因而答案应为A。 12.答案B。 【试题分析】本题考查对文中内容的理解和辨识。 【关键词语】postponed,attend a conference. 【详细解答】the man回答说考试延期了，因为老师不得不去参加一个会议。并不是说老师把会议延期了。因而答案为B。 13.答案A。 【试题分析】本题考查根据文中内容来辨别两人的关系。 【关键词语】proving my case,sue for injuries. 【详细解答】从文中对话可听出proving my case,和sue for injuries几个法律专用词汇，因而可判断两人与法律有关。再由选择中可判断出问题大致为“whats the relationship between the two people?”所以应选A。 14.答案D。 【试题分析】本题考查对数据的计算。 【关键词语】$9 for the first three minutes,$3 for each additional minute. 【详细解答】从文中可算出10分钟的话费为：前3分钟花费9美元，后7分钟花费73=21美元，则共花费9+21=30美元，故应选D。 15.【参考答案】 won several important victories 【详细解答】 won为win的过去式，victories为victory复数形式，注意several与severe的拼写区别。 16.【参考答案】 defeated a powerful Japanese fleet 【详细解答】 注意Japanese中“J”大写，fleet意为舰队，defeat击败 17.【参考答案】 it had learned the secret code 【详细解答】 secret

(占总分的35%) Directions: There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them 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.（这一部分占总分的25%，下面一部分占10%）Questions 35 to 39 are based on the following passage: Auctions(拍卖) are public sales of goods,conducted by an officially approved auctioneer.He asked the crowd to gather in the auction room to bid for various items on sale.He encourages buyers to bid higher figures and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods.This is called “knocking down” the goods,for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a raised platform. The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction and the English word comes from the Latin “autic”,meaning “increase”.The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war;these sales were called “sub hasta”,meaning “under the spear”,a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather.In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were often sold “by the candle”;a short candle was lit by the auctioneer and bids could be made while it was burning. Practically all goods can be sold by auction.Among these arecoffee,skins,wool,tea,cocoa,furs, fruit,vegetables and wines.Auction sales are also usual for land and property,antique furniture, pictures,rare books,old china and works of art.The auction rooms at Chrities and Sothebys in London and New York are world-famous. An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by the buyers.If the advertisement cannot give full details,catalogues are printed,and each group of goods to be sold together,called a “lot”,is usually given a number.The auctioneer need not begin with lot one and continue the numerical order;he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.The auctioneers services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for.The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding. 35.Auctioned goods are sold_. A.for the highest price offered B.at fixed prices C.at prices lower than their true value D.at prices offered by the auctioneer 36.The end of bidding is called “knocking down” because_. A.the auctioneer knocks on the table B.the auctionees names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods C.the goods are knocked down onto the table D.the auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer 37.In the sentence“The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war,”the word “spoils” most probably means_. A.useless goodsB.spears C.various kinds of foodD.property taken from the enemy 38.In England a candle used to burn at auction sales_. A.because the auction sales took place at night B.as a signal for the crowd to gather C.to keep the auction room warm D.to limit the time when offers of prices could be made 39.An auction catalogue gives buyers_. A.the current market values of the goods B.details of the goods to be sold C.the order in which goods are to be sold D.free admission to the auction sale Questions 40 to 44 are based on the following passage: There are some 65 species of New World monkeys.Many of these have a very useful anatomical adaptation lacking in theirold world counterparts:that curious“fifth hand”,the prehensile tail.And in a few species the gripping tail has developed to such an extent that it actually has “fingerprints” on the tip.While of course a tail is not equipped with fingers,it can sometimes be even more useful than an arm or a leg.A spider monkeys tail,for instance,is longer than its head and body combined,and is frequently used instead of a hand to grasp distant objects.Other monkeys less fortunate are forced to relegate at least one limb to support while they feed,whereas monkeys endowed with prehensility can hang by their tails while they feast with both hands and feet.A few New World monkeys have also evolved arms and shoulders that are suitable for swinging hand over hand through the trees like the Asiatic gibbons.40.The passage mainly discusses_. A.certain evolutionary advantages of New World monkeys B.feeding habits of the spider monkey C.the development of arms and shoulders in New World monkeys D.some anatomical adaptations of Asiatic gibbons 41.The author probably believes that a monkey uses its prehensile tail especially for_.
