10、P3听力录音请搜索标题名) 1.答案:necessary听力原文 Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old have the joy of seeing their children making progress in lif

11、e; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the battle.

12、解析 necessary意为“有必要的”。 2.答案:advice解析 advice意为“建议”，放在介词with之后，wisely given为后置定语。3.答案:watch解析 watch意为“看着”，can后面接动词原形。4.答案:growing up解析 grow up意为“成长”，因为做watch的宾语补足语，表示成长的过程，故用现在分词。5.答案:battle解析 battle意为“战役，战斗”。Part Vocabulary and StructureSection A问题:1. The teacher suggested that the class meeting _ at

13、once.A.is heldB.be heldC.will be heldD.is to be held答案:B问题:2. The debt is_for me to pay off in one year.A.small enoughB.enough smallC.too smallD.so small答案:A解析 形容词修饰顺序 enough必须放在被修饰的形容词后面。pay off意为“付清”。 问题:3. Unless _, I will not go to the party.A.being invitedB.invitedC.invitingD.having invited答案:B

14、解析 本题考查分词的用法。动词invite与其逻辑主语I之间是动宾关系，因此应该用过去分词形式，在句中作状语。问题:4. Yesterday when I was walking on the street, I _ to see an old friend of mine.A.managedB.happenedC.settledD.occurred答案:B昨天我在街上走时，偶然遇到一个老朋友。happen to do sth意为“偶然”。其他选项与题意不符。问题:5. Mary never tells anyone else what she does for a _ .A.jobB.wor

15、kC.livingD.life答案:C解析 本题考查固定用法。living意为“生活，生计”，常与earn/make连用，即earn/make a living(谋生)。本题考查的是do sth. for a living(以为生)，故选项C为正确答案。避错指南 干扰项为选项D。life也有“生活”之义，但不能和do for a构成词组，故可排除。问题:6. He must be in the building because he was seen_the building just now.A.enteringB.enterC.to enterD.having entered答案:C解析

16、本题考查非谓语动词不定式的用法。表示感官的一些动词如：see,heaur，watch notice等后面需接不带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语，与宾语一起构成复合宾语。但 在这些词用作被动结构时，省去的to需加上，不定式作主语补足语。如：The workers are made to work from day to night问题:7. _ Annies glass, I apologized to her.A.To breakB.BreakingC.Having brokenD.Break答案:C解析 本题测试的是非谓语动词的用法。动作break的发出者是主句的主语I，且该动作已经完成。故选

17、C。问题:8. _ a reply, she decided to write again.A.Not receivingB.Receiving notC.Not having receivedD.Having not received答案:C解析 本题考查现在分词的时态及其否定式。根据题意判断，现在分词的动作(接信)发生在谓语动词的动作(决定再写信)之前，因此用现在分词的完成式。现在分词的否定式构成为“not现在分词”，故选C。问题:9. She was talking about her _ as a nurse in a hospital, which we had never hear

18、d of.A.expensesB.excusesC.experiencesD.expressions答案:C本题为名词形近词辨析题。expense意思为“费用，代价”；excuse意思为“借口”；experience意思为“经历”； expression意思为“表达，表情”。结合题意，只有C)选项符合逻辑，故为本题正确答案。问题:10. _ the fact that my job is highly paid, I really dont enjoy it.A.In case ofB.Instead ofC.In spite ofD.In answer to答案:C解析 本题考查的是介词短语

19、的用法。In case of表示“就而言”；Instead of意为“代替”；In spite of表示“尽管，虽然”；In answer to的意思是“为了响应”。分析句子，只有选项C)符合句意，是正确答案。Section B问题:1. The manager was surprised at the news when he(receive)_the phone call yesterday.答案:received解析 本句考查句子时态，而判断时态的关键是确定句子中表示时间的单词或短语。本句中出现了表示过去时间的yesterday，所以空格处需要填入动词的过去式形式received。问题:

20、2. Because of serious (ill)_she was not able to be present at the class.答案:illness解析 词性转换 because of是个固定搭配，意思是“由于，因为”，后面跟名词或名词短语。所以，在这里应该填ill的名词形式illness。 问题:3. By the end of last year, the newly built plaza _ (visit) by millions of people.答案:had been visited本题考查动词的用法。时间状语为by the end of last year，有b

21、y the end of，用完成时；有last year用过去式；plaza与visit为被动关系。该句意为：到去年为止，已有好几百万人参观了那个新建的广场。问题:4. If no one (answer) _ the phone at home, ring me at work.答案:answers解析 本题是一般现在时表示将来的某种情况，主句与从句用一般现在时即可。主句是祈使句，用动词原形ring，但是从句中的主语是no one，所以从句中的谓语动词应该用第三人称单数answers。问题:5. Hardly anyone would enjoy (sit) _ in a train for

22、 more than a few hours.答案: sitting问题:6. Harrys grandfather has a great (collect) _ of old coins.答案:collection问题:7. For the sake of personal health, hes stopped (smoke) _.答案:smoking解析 本题考查stop的用法。stop doing sth意为“停止做某事”。根据for the sake of personal health可知“吸烟”是停止做的事情，因此-ing分词smoking为正确答案。问题:8. Tom is

23、studying Chinese and his understanding of proper Chinese needs to (improve) _.答案:be improved考点 固定用法 解析 need在这里是“需要”的意思，后面可以接动名词，相当于不定式的被动形式，即need doing=need to be done。 问题:9. We should learn to avoid(make)_the same mistake again答案:making avoid后面接动词的动名词形式。问题:10. The amount of paper a country uses sho

24、ws how far (advance)_the country is.答案:advanced句子中由how far引导宾语从句，从句中需要用形容词作表语。形容词advanced意为“先进的”。Part Reading Comprehension Americans have contributed to many art forms, and jazz, a type of music, is one of the art forms that were started in the United States. Black Americans, who sang and played th

25、e music of their homeland, created jazz. Jazz is a mixture of music of Africa, the work songs the slaves sang, and religious music. Improvisation (即兴) is an important part of jazz. This is why a jazz song might sound a little different each time it is played. Jazz bands formed in the late 1800s. The

26、y played in bars and clubs in many towns and cities of the South, especially New Orleans. New Orleans is an international seaport, and people from all over the world come to New Orleans to hear jazz. Jazz became more and more popular. By the 1920s, jazz was popular all over the United States. By the

27、 1940s, you could hear jazz not only in clubs and bars, but in concert halls as well. Today, people from all over the world play jazz. Jazz musicians from the United States, Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe meet and share their music at festivals on every continent. In this way jazz continues

28、 to grow and change. 1. What can be the best title of the passage?A.American Art FormsB.The Development of JazzC.The Music of Black AmericansD.The Birthplace of Jazz答案:B主旨大意题。题目询问哪个选项是文章的最佳标题。因为文章主要是介绍了爵士乐在美国的起源和发展，因此，选项B(爵士乐的发展)符合题意，为最佳答案。避错指南 选项A(美国的艺术形式)和C(美国黑人的音乐)所涵盖的范围过于宽泛，在此不合适；选项D(爵士乐的故乡)在文中并

29、未提及。2. Which of the following is TRUE?A.Jazz is now popular all over the world.B.Jazz is now a kind of religious music.C.Jazz is now played only in bars and clubs.D.Jazz is now played a little differently sometimes.答案:A事实细节题。题目询问下列哪个选项是正确的。通过阅读全文，可以发现爵士乐在全世界都很流行，因此选项 A为正确答案。避错指南 选项B(爵士乐现在是一种宗教音乐。)与文

30、中第二段首句意思相悖；选项C(爵士乐现在只在酒吧或夜总会里演奏。)与第四段第三句意思相悖，故排除；选项D(有时候爵士乐演奏方式有点不同。)与文章第二段末句中的each time(每次)相悖。3. From the text, it can be inferred that _ .A.New Orleans is the place where jazz was first producedB.the American people are all jazz loversC.jazz is merely sung by the black when workingD.jazz may becom

31、e more popular as time goes on答案:D推理判断题。题目询问根据本文，可以得出什么结论。本题答案可以从文章末段尤其是末句推理出，爵士乐会随着时间的推移，一直发展下去，变得更加流行。因此，选项D为正确答案。避错指南 选项A(新奥尔良是爵士乐的发源地)在文中并未提及，文中只是说在该城市爵士乐队特别流行；选项B(美国人都喜爱爵士乐)是一个绝对判断，应排除；选项C(黑人只有在工作的时候，才演唱爵士乐)与文中第二段首句意思相悖，因为爵士乐糅合了众多音乐风格。4. It took about _ years to make jazz popular in the United

32、States.A.200B.120C.80D.40答案:D推理判断题。题目询问大约花了多少年，爵士乐才在美国流行开来。根据第三段中的“Jazz bands formed in the late 1800s.”和第四段中的“.By the 1920s，jazz was popular all over the United States.”可推测出答案，文中的late 1800s是个模糊的概念(意指19世纪末期，一般为19世纪八、九十年代)，距1920s(即20世纪初)约三、四十年，因此最接近的时间为40年，故选项D正确。避错指南 19世纪末期并不等于是1800年，不能推出花的时间是120年，故

33、选项B不正确。此外，jazz形成的具体时间其实并没有确切的说法。如果选择选项A(200年)那么可以得出“爵士乐到了21世纪才在美国流行”的判断，与文中的事实不一致。5. The statement that _ is NOT true.A.jazz is a mixture of African music, the work songs, the slave songs and religious musicB.in the late 1800s jazz bands made their first appearanceC.new Orleans lies in the North of

34、AmericaD.it is Black Americans who has invented Jazz答案:C事实细节题。题目询问下列哪个判断是错误的。根据文章第三段第二句话中的“.many towns and cities of the South，especially New Orleans.”可推测出新奥尔良位于美国南部，而选项C中说新奥尔良位于北部。因此，选项C符合题意，为正确答案。避错指南 选项A(爵士乐糅合了非洲音乐、劳动号子、黑奴音乐和宗教音乐)和文章第二段首句意思吻合；选项 B(在19世纪后期出现了爵士乐队)和文章中第三段首句意思吻合；选项D(正是美国黑人发明了爵士乐)与文章

35、中首段末句意思吻合。三个判断皆为真实事件，故均可排除。 The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution c
