But you can transfer from this bus to bus number 24.Q: What will the woman probably do? 解析 此题属于推理判断题。四个选项都是

4、交通方式。题目询问女士可能会做什么。由女士的话可知她要去商业街，关键是要听到男士说的But后面的内容“你可以先坐这辆公共汽车然后转乘24路车”，由此可知答案为选项A(她会乘坐这辆公共汽车)。 避错指南 选项B中的mall是女士的目的地，选项C中的bus No.24是到达目的地的其中一个方式，虽然这两个选项与对话内容相关，但却不是最优选项，故应排除。选项D(乘坐出租车)这一方式完全没有出现过，比较容易排除。 2.A.In May.B.In March.C.In August.D.In June.答案:C解析W: That famous mystery story writer Jones Smi

5、ths new book is coming out in May.M: We probably wont be able to find a library copy until August.Q: When can you read Jones new book in the library? 解析 本题属于细节考查题。四个选项都是时间。题目询问什么时候能在图书馆读到琼斯的新书。根据男士的话“可能要到8月份我们才能在图书馆看到他的书。”可知，答案为选项C(8月)。 避错指南 解答此题的关键是要理解“come out”的意思是“出版”。选项A(5月)虽在对话中提到了，但它指的是琼斯新作的出版

6、时间，故应排除；而选项B(3月)和选项D(6月)在对话中并未提及，应排除。 3.A.Beer.B.Coffee.C.Tea.D.Vegetables.答案:A解析M: Are we short of tea and coffee?W: Oh, yes. And we also need some vegetables, too. Its the next item on the list.Q: What do they not need to buy? 解析 本题属于细节考查题。题目询问他们不需要买什么。对话谈论关于购买咖啡、茶和蔬菜的事情，由此可知答案应为选项A(啤酒)。 避错指南 解答此题

7、的关键是要注意“short of”以及“And we also need”这些表达方式，由于选项B(咖啡)、选项C(茶)和选项D(蔬菜)均在对话中出现，故可采用排除法。 4.A.Have dinner.B.Have a look at the room.C.Come in 20 minutes.D.Go shopping.答案:C解析M: Would it be OK to look at your spare room now?W: Would you come here in 20 minutes? Were right in the middle of dinner.Q: What wi

8、ll the man probably do? 解析 此题属于推断说话人行为的试题。题目询问这位男士很可能会怎么做。根据男士的问话“我能来看看你空闲的房子吗?”而女士回答“能不能20分钟之后来这里?”可知答案为选项C。 避错指南 选项A(吃饭)和选项B(看房子)是对话中提到的行为，但是正在吃饭的是女士，而不是男士；看房子是男士希望做的事情，但是遭到了拒绝，因此这两个选项都不符合题意。选项D(购物)这一行为没有在对话中出现，因此也不正确。 5.A.At a restaurant.B.At a parking lot.C.At a bank.D.At a supermarket.答案:C解析M:

9、Is there a service charge if I open a checking account?W: There is no service charge.Q: Where are the two speakers? 解析 此题属于推理判断题。四个选项都是地点，听录音时要抓住相关语境下的关键词。题目询问两个人在哪里。根据对话中的“open a checking account”(开个活期存款账户)可知正确答案为选项C(在银行)。 避错指南 解答此题要注意对话中虽然出现了“service charge”(服务费用)，似乎选项A(在餐馆)和选项B(在停车场)都是对话发生的可能场景，但

10、根据对话中的“开个活期存款账户”可排除这两个选项。而选项D(在超市)一般不会出现service charge之类的单词。 Section BDirections: This section is to test your ability to understand short conversations. There are 2 recorded conversations in it. After each conversation, there are some recorded questions. Both the conversations and questions will be

11、 spoken two times. When you hear a question, you should decide on the correct answer from the 4 choices marked A, B, C and D given in your test paper. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.问题:1. Conversation 1A.A book.B.Ivory.C.Sheets

14、I will get your address in a moment.听力原文6. What does the woman want to buy? 解析 细节题。题目询问女士准备买什么。根据女士说的“我要订购第34页的缎子床单。”可知，正确答案是C项(床单)。 避错指南 不要因为“page”就武断地认定选项A(书)是正确答案。选项B(象牙)比较有迷惑性，因为对话中也出现了此词，但若能注意到对话中的“Color：Ivory”就可以排除B项。选项D(轮船)是利用“shipping”一词进行语音干扰。 问题:2.A.$34.B.$3419.C.$78.D.$78.95.答案:D听力原文How m

15、uch will the item cost the woman?解析 细节题。四个选项均是价格，听音时要格外留意。题目询问女士要花多少钱。根据男士的回答可知应选D项(78.95美元)。 避错指南 对话中出现了34，3419和78这些数字，但是34是页数，而3419其实是床单在目录中的编号，另外在听对话的过程中要注意以意群为单位，不能忽视and这一连词，因此三个选项都不合题意。 Conversation 2 (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 3.A.15.B.10.C.5.D.2.答案:C解析 8-10M: Tell me about yourself and your past ex

16、perience.W: (8)I have worked as an executive secretary for 5 years, (10)first for a trading company, then a trust company.M: How fast can you type?W: (9)I can type 100 Chinese words per minute and 150 English words a minute.M: Can you operate computers skillfully?W: Yes, I can. I have received some

17、special training in computers. Besides I am good at operating common office machines like fax.M: Sometimes we are very busy and need to work overtime. How do you feel about that?W: Could you tell me how often and how many hours I should work overtime?M: It just depends. If we have important visiting

18、 delegations, you have to stay with us. Its not unusual.W: Thats all right.听力原文8. How long has the woman worked? 解析 题目询问女士工作多久了。通过她的回答“我做行政秘书5年了”可知，正确答案为选项C。 避错指南 选项A(15年)、选项B(10年)和选项D(2年)这几个数字在对话中都没有提到，因此不难排除。 4.A.Operating computers.B.Doing business.C.Operating fax machines.D.Typing.答案:B解析What kin

19、d of skills does the woman not have? 解析 本题考查对事实细节的把握。题目询问女士缺乏什么能力。根据女士的回答可知，B项(做生意)正确。 避错指南 解答此类题目需要运用排除法。选项A(操作电脑)和选项D(打字)比较容易排除，因为对话中有直接相关的内容。但是需要注意的是选项C(收发传真)，不过根据对话中的“Besides I am good at operating common office machines like fax”也可排除此选项。 5.A.A trading company and a trust company.B.A trading com

20、pany.C.A trust company.D.A visiting delegation.答案:A解析Which company did the woman work in? 解析 题目询问女士过去在哪里工作。在对话开头，女士就说“I have workedfirst for a trading company，then a trust company”，由此可以判断正确答案为选项A(贸易公司和信托公司)。 避错指南 解答本题的关键是抓住对话中的关键信息，并能够听完整个信息。选项B(贸易公司)和选项C(信托公司)的回答都不全面；而对话中提到如果有重要的访问团来的时候，女士就要加班，因此选项

21、D(访问团)也不符合题目要求。 Section CDirections: This section is to test your ability to comprehend short passages. You will hear a recorded passage. After that you will hear five questions. Both the passage and the questions will be read two times. When you hear a question, you should complete the answer to it

26、 early 1800s?解析 题目询问19世纪早期的新能源是什么。由文章前两句话“19世纪早期有一种新能源改变了密西西比河沿岸的运输和贸易，这就是蒸汽。”可知答案为steam。2. When did the steamboat New Orleans make its first trip? In_. 答案:1811解析When did the steamboat New Orleans make its first trip?解析 题目询问“新奥尔良号”这艘汽船何时开始它的第一次航行。根据关键句“It made its first trip in 1811”可知答案为1811。3. In

27、the past, who used steamboats? The _ and the manufacturers. 答案:farmers解析In the past, who used steamboats?解析 题目询问过去谁使用汽船。根据“In the past，the farmers whose productsused the steamboats”(把货物运到全国各地的农民使用汽船。)可知答案为farmers。4.

28、tation. 答案:cheap and easy解析Why did manufacturers use the steamboats?解析 题目询问为何制造商使用汽船。由”The manufacturers whose trade depended on cheap and easy transportation used the steamboats，too”(依赖廉价方便的运输进行贸易的制造商也使用汽船。)可知答案为cheap and easy。5.

29、?解析 题目询问今天谁使用汽船。由“today many tourists come to travel on the steamboats”(今天许多游客乘坐汽船来这里旅行)可知答案为tourists。Part StructureDirections: This part is to test your ability to construct grammatically correct sentences. It consists of 2 sections.Section ADirections: In this section, there are 10 incomplete sent

30、ences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.问题:1. He said he _ traveling with his family after the entra

31、nce examination.A.will considerB.consideredC.has consideredD.would consider答案:D解析 本题考查的是谓语动词时态前后一致的用法。本句是主从复合句，主句的动词时态为一般过去时，根据谓语动词时态前后一致的原则，后面从句的动词时态也应以一般过去时为基础，且从句的时间状语为after the graduate entrance examination，对主句的谓语said来说，它属于将来的时间，故从句谓语时态应为过去将来时。选项D为正确答案。 避错指南 A项“will consider”是动词的一般将来时；C项“has con

32、sidered”是动词的现在完成时，均不能与主句的一般过去时保持一致，故为错误选项；而B项“considered”是动词的一般过去时，与后面的时间状语表示的时间不一致，故排除。 问题:2. Though her parents dislike the young man, they can not prevent their daughter mar tying him.A.toB.inC.fromD.for答案:C解析 本题考查的是动词prevent与介词的搭配问题。当prevent表示“阻止某人做某事”时，宾语后面的介词需要用from。故选项C为正确答案。 避错指南 其他选项均不能与pre

33、vent搭配，故排除。解答此类动词固定搭配题，需要考生掌握一些动词与介词的常用搭配及意义。 问题:3. So little _ about China that he could not find Beijing in the world map.A.the foreigner knewB.did the foreigner knowC.the foreigner has knownD.has the foreigner known答案:B解析 本题考查的是谓语动词时态前后一致和倒装句的用法。本句是主从复合句，后面从句的谓语动词could not find为一般过去时，根据谓语动词时态前后一致

34、的原则，前面主句的谓语动词know的时态也应为一般过去时；“so+形容词/副词”放在句首加强语气时，主句中的主谓语必须要倒装，即使用“助动词+主语+谓语动词原形”的结构。故选项B为正确答案。 避错指南 A项“the foreigner knew”和C项“the foreigner has known”均未实现主谓倒装；D项“has the foreigner known”是动词的现在完成时形式，与后面从句的could not find在时态上不一致。故此三项皆应排除。 问题:4. Though eight years have passed, I still remember _ to Mr.

35、 Ma during my visit there.A.introducingB.being introducedC.to be introducedD.introduced答案:B解析 本题考查的是remember的用法。remember doing sth的意思是“记得做过某事”，而remember to do sth 的意思是“记得要去做某事”。由于从句中的时间为过去，所以句子表达的意思应为“记得做过了”。 此外，introduce与主语I之间是被动关系，需用被动式。故选项B为正确答案。 避错指南 A项“introducing”是主动式，不合句子的意思，而且introduce的用法是“i

36、ntroduce A to B”，表示“将 A介绍给B”的意思，此处若用主动形式就缺少了宾语，因此可以排除此选项。C项“to be introduced”意思是“要被介绍给”，动作尚未发生，与题意不符；D项“introduced”无法与谓语动词remember。搭配，故排除。 问题:5. The President of Harvard pioneered the elective system by _ students were able to choose their own courses of study.A.whatB.whomC.thatD.which答案:D解析 本题考查的是定

37、语从句的用法。通过分析可知，本句中从句的先行词是the elective system，是物而非人，故应从C和D两项中选择，又因从句中的介词提到了引导词的前面，故选项D为正确答案。 避错指南 A项“what”不引导定语从句；B项“whom”指代人，不能与表物的先行词搭配；C项“that”可引导定语 从句，但不能与介词连用，故均可排除。 问题:6. Twenty-four members took part in the debate, most of them making speeches _ to the chairman.A.to opposeB.be opposeC.opposingD

38、.opposed答案:D解析 本题考查的是形容词短语opposed to的用法。只有选项D “opposed”之后可以直接接to，构成词组opposed to，意思是“与相反的，与相对的”，跟在speeches后作定语。故选项D为正确答案。 避错指南 通过分析句子结构，空白处与to the chairman一起作speeches的定语。句子不缺少谓语成分，可排除B项；oppose为及物动词，后直接接名词，故可排除A、C两项。 问题:7. She is _ far the most active member in our group.A.soB.asC.byD.in答案:C解析 本题考查的是词

39、组by far的用法。它与形容词或副词的比较级或最高级连用时，置于这类词之前表“最 ，得多”。故选项C为正确答案。 避错指南 A项“so”与far搭配时，意思是“迄今为止”；B项通常与far构成短语as far as；D项不与far搭配，故均应排除。 问题:8. The professor requests that we _ the term papers by the end of this month.A.hand inB.will have handed inC.to hand inD.will hand in答案:A解析 本题考查的是“should do型”虚拟语气的用法。“shou

40、ld do型”虚拟语气以动词原形表示，用于表示愿 望、请求、命令、决定、建议、设想等动词之后的that从句中，如：decide，demand，insist，order，request， propose，suggest，vote等动词之后的that从句中，如：He ordered that all the books be sent at once本题 用request表示“要求”，故正确答案为hand in，其中should省略。故A项为正确答案。 避错指南 B项“will have handed in”是动词的将来完成时；C项“to hand in”是动词不定式短语，D项“will hand

41、 in”是动词的一般将来时均不能与should搭配构成虚拟语气；故应排除。 问题:9. Michael failed the exam. He _ have spent so much time playing computer games and chat ring online.A.mustntB.couldntC.wouldntD.shouldnt答案:D解析 本题考查的是“情态动词+have done”的用法。这一结构有两种意义：1)表示对过去事情的一种推测；2) 表示与过去事实相反。should have done表示与过去相反的假设，即“本应该做某事，但事实上却没有做”，是虚拟语气

42、的一种用法。此句是should have done的否定式，意思是“本不应该做的事，但事实上做了”，因此选D项。 避错指南 A项表示“禁止做”；B项表示“没有能力做”；C项表示“不愿意做”，均不合句意，故予以排除。 问题:10. His mother asks him to do morning exercises, but he is not used to _ early in the morning.A.get upB.getting upC.be gotten upD.being gotten up答案:B解析 本题考查的是be used to的用法。be used to之后一般接动名

43、词或名词，意思是“习惯于做某事”，故选 项B为正确答案。 避错指南 解答此题的关键是要分清be used to(doing)sth和be used to do sth的区别，前者意为“习惯于做某事”，后者意为“被用来做”。A项和C项在此显然与句意不符。D项“being gotten up”为动名词的被动形式，主语he与get up之间应构成主动关系，故排除。 Section BDirections: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the

44、 word given in brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.问题:1. It is becoming the third (large)_industrial city in the province.答案:largest解析 本题考查形容词最高级的用法。英语中常用“the+序数词+形容词的最高级形式”来表示“第几个最”。 答题指南 要特别注意形容词最高级的特殊变化形式，比如多音节词前要加the most，以e结尾的单词加-st 以及其他一些形容词的不规则变化。

45、问题:2. The (early)_you start, the sooner you will be back.答案:earlier解析 本题考查固定结构的用法。“The+形容词或副词的比较级，the+形容词或副词的比较级”是英语中的固定 结构，表示“越就越”的意思。 答题指南 遇到此类题时需要注意形容词、副词的比较级变化形式，其中以y结尾的词变为比较级和最高级 时，需要将y改为i再加-er或-est。 问题:3. The article was obviously (lead)_, and the newspaper has apologized for it.答案:misleading解

46、析 本题考查形容词的用法。通过分析句子成分可知，第一个分句的谓语由系表结构构成，而obviously为副 词，因此空白处需要填入的单词必然为形容词；由第二个分句中的apologized可知，此处需填表示消极、 否定含义的词，因而misleading符合要求，意思是“使人误解的，欺骗的”。 答题指南 mislead由lead之前加表示否定意义的前缀mis-变化而来，意思是“使某人产生错误想法或印象”，再 加后缀-ing构成形容词misleading。在动词之前加表示否定的前缀是很重要的构词方式，需要掌握，又如mismanage(管理不当)，misname(叫错的名字；误称)等。 问题:4. Be

47、cause of its (prefer)_for lower temperatures, this is an ideal plant for the garden pool.答案:preference解析 本题考查名词的用法。Because of是介词词组，后面应接名词或名词性短语，而prefer是动词，故应转化为对应的名词preference。 答题指南 注意because与because of的用法区别：because是连词，引导原因状语从句；because of与名词或 名词短语一起作状语。 问题:5. There has been little research consideri

48、ng early retirement among women and its (society)_meaning.答案:social解析 本题考查形容词的用法。social是society的形容词形式，修饰meaning作定语，social meaning的意思是 “社会意义”。 答题指南 society派生出的其他词也需要引起注意：动词socialize，表示“使社会化”；名词socialism，表示“社会主义”；等。此外还需要注意的是以-ing结尾的meaning其实是名词。 问题:6. (Encourage)_by the high marks of the examination,

49、he studied even harder than before.答案:Encouraged解析 本题考查的是分词作状语的用法。用过去分词还是现在分词，取决于动词和逻辑主语的关系。句中 encourage与其逻辑主语he是被动关系，所以用encouraged。由于位于句首，因此要大写首字母E。 答题指南 如果动词与逻辑主语是主动关系，需要用动词的现在分词形式，如：Not receiving any letter from himI gave him a call 问题:7. He showed Carrie around in his laboratory to (satisfaction

50、)_her curiosity.答案:satisfy解析 本题考查动词的用法。句中的to是动词不定式的标志，和后面的动宾结构一起作目的状语，而satisfaction 的动词形式是satisfy。 答题指南 satisfaction的形容词形式是satisfied，常与介词with连用构成短语be satisfied with sth，意思是“对 感到满意”。 问题:8. The ship along with all the goods (be)_destroyed last week.答案:was解析 本题考查的是主谓语在数量上保持一致的用法。句子的主语是The ship而不是后面的介词词

51、组along with all the goods，所以谓语用第三人称单数形式；另外时间状语为过去时间，故用was。 答题指南 主谓一致的用法很多，有意义一致和语法一致。当句子主语是“名词+介词词组(如：with+名词；as well as+名词；along with/together with+名词；等)”时，谓语动词要与介词词组之前的中心名词一致。 问题:9. Weather (permit)_, we will go hiking the day after tomorrow.答案:permitting解析 本题考查分词作状语的用法。因为句中没有连词出现，所以可以肯定这是一个简单句，只能

52、有一个谓语 will go。permit必须以分词的形式出现，与前面的名词一起构成状语，而Weather与permit之间是逻辑上 的主动关系，所以用表示主动的现在分词形式permitting。 答题指南 如果句首有连词if出现，就应该用permits作从句的谓语。 问题:10. The (pleased)_of having a vote is that one can exercise his own opinion.答案:pleasure解析 本题考查名词的用法。由空格前的The可以判断后面的空格应该填入一个名词作主语，pleased的名词 形式是pleasure。 答题指南 注意ple

53、ased与pleasing的区别，它们都是形容词，但用法和恿义不同：pleased指“某人或团体感到 高兴的是”，主语常为人；pleasing指“某物或某事令人感到高兴”，主语常为物。 Part Reading ComprehensionDirections: This part is to test your reading ability.

54、sk 1 To the professional linguist, there is no superiority of any language. Therefore, it is well-accepted in the field of linguistics that there exist no higher or lower grades among languages. People once thought of the languages of backward groups as undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largel

55、y of rough and simple sounds. It is possible that language in general began as a series of simple sounds. But it is a fact established by the study of backward languages that no spoken tongue answers that description. Most languages of backward groups are extremely complex pieces of tool for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind the western languages not in their sound pattern or grammatical structures hut only in their vocabularies. The sound pattern or grammatical structures usually are fully adequate for all language needs. The vocabulary reflects the objects and act
