莎士比亚。每个英国人或多或少对于我们这位最伟大的作家的作品都有些了解。我们都用莎士比亚作品里的单词、短语和引语。这些都已经成为讲英语人语言的组成部分。大部分时候我们不知道我们所用词语的来源，就像一位看《哈姆莱特》的夫人抱怨剧中尽是我们熟悉的谚语和引语。莎士比亚大概比其他作家更充分地利用了英语语言的伟大资源。我们大部分人在我们正常使用英语时会用大约5000个词，而莎士比亚用了大约25000个。对于一个外国人来说，大概没有比研究莎士比亚各种使用语言的方法有更好的办法来赏析英语语言的丰富和多样化。即使英语用法的某些方面和许多词义已经自莎士比亚时代以来发生了一些变化，这样的研究还是很值得努力的（当然不适合初学者）。16.Englishpeople______.A.haveneverdiscussedwhoistheworld'sgreatestdramatistB.neverdiscussanyissueconcerningtheworld'sgreatestdramatistC.aresurewhoistheworld'sgreatestdramatistD.donotcarewhoistheworld'sgreatestpoetanddramatist答案：[C]17.EveryEnglishmanknows______.A.moreorlessaboutShakespeareB.Shakespeare,butonlyslightlyC.allShakespeare'swritingsD.onlythenameofthegreatestEnglishwriter答案：[A]18.Whichofthefollowingistrue?A.Weuseallthewords,phrasesandquotationsfromShakespeare'swritings.B.Shakespeare'swritingshavebecomethepropertyofthosewhoarelearningtospeakEnglish.C.Itislikelytobetruethatpeopleoftendonotknowtheoriginsofthewordstheyuse.D.AllthewordspeopleusearetakenfromthewritingsofShakespeare.答案：[C]19.Whatdoestheword"proverb"mean?A.Familiarsayings.B.Shakespeare'splays.C.Complaints.D.Actorsandactresses.答案：[A]20.WhyisitworthwhiletostudythevariouswaysinwhichShakespeareusedEnglish?A.EnglishwordshavechangedalotsinceShakespeare'stime.B.BydoingsoonecanbefullyawareoftherichnessoftheEnglishlanguage.C.EnglishwordsarenowbeingusedinthesamewayasinShakespeare'stime.D.BeginnersmayhavedifficultylearningsomeaspectsofEnglishusage.答案：[B]Passage3Treesareusefultomaninthreeveryimportantways:theyprovidehimwoodandotherproducts;theygivehimshade;andtheyhelptopreventdrought(干旱)andfloods.Unfortunately,inmanypartsoftheworld,manhasnotrealizedthatthethirdoftheseservicesisthemostimportant.Inhiseagernesstodrawquickprofitfromthetrees,hehascutthemdowninlargenumbers.Twothousandyearsago,arichandpowerfulcountrycutdownitstreestobuildwarships,withwhichtogainitselfanempire.Itgainedtheempirebut,withoutitstrees,itssoilbecamebareandpoor.Whentheempirefelltopieces,thecountryfounditselffacedbyfloodsandstarvation.Evenwhereagovernmentrealizestheimportanceofaplentifulsupplyoftrees,itisdifficultsometimestomakethepeoplerealizethis.Theycutdownthetreesbutaretoocarelesstoplantandlookafternewtrees.So,unlessthegovernmenthasagoodsystemofcontrol,orcaneducatethepeople,theforestsslowlydisappear.Thisdoesnotonlymeanthattherewillbefewertrees.Theresultsareevenmoreserious:forwheretherearetrees,theirrootsbreakthesoilup,allowingtheraintosinkin,andalsobindthesoil.Thispreventsthesoilfrombeingwashedaway.Butwheretherearenotrees,therainfallsonhardgroundandflowsawayonthesurface,andthiscausesfloodsandtheraincarriesawaytherichtopsoilinwhichcropsgrow.Whenallthetopsoilisgone,nothingremainsbutworthlessdesert.译文：树在三方面对人有用：它们为人们提供了木材和其他产物；它们给人们提供树荫并帮助抵御干旱和洪水。不幸的事，在世界上许多地方，人还没有意识到这第三个好处是最重要的。人们急于向树索取利益，于是就大量地砍伐。两千年前，有一个富强的国家为了建造军舰而砍树欲使自己成为强大的帝国。它得到的是一个帝国，但没有树它的土壤变得贫瘠。当这个帝国土崩瓦解的时候，这个国家发现它面临的是洪水和饥荒。既使一个国家的政府意识到树能大量提供的重要性，但有时却很难让它的人民意识到这点。人们残伐树木，却疏于种植与培育幼苗。所以，如果政府没有一个很好的控制系统，并且教育人们，森林会慢慢消失。这不仅仅意味着树会越来越少，结果是更加严重：对于有树的地方，树根使得土壤松软，雨水就可以下渗，也凝结了土壤。这阻止了土壤的流失。但是对于没有树的地方，雨水降落在硬的土地上，从表层流走，这会造成洪水，雨水冲走了肥沃的表土，而庄稼就是在这表土里生长。当所有的表土都被冲走，除了无价值的沙漠外什么都没有留下。21.Treesareusefultomanmainlyinthreeways.themostimportantofwhichisthattheycan____.A.keephimfromthehotsunshineB.enablehimtobuildwarshipsC.makehimdrawquickprofitfromthemD.protecthimfromdroughtsandfloods答案：[D]22.It'sagreatpitythat______.A.manisonlyinterestedinbuildingempiresB.maniseagertoprofitfromtreesC.manhasn'trealizedtheimportanceoftreestohimD.manhasn'tfoundoutthathehaslostalltrees答案：[C]23.Soonerorlatertheforestswilldisappear______.A.unlessacountryhasaplentysupplyoftreesB.unlesspeoplestopcuttingdowntheirtreesC.unlessallpeoplearetaughttheimportanceofplantingtreesD.unlessthegovernmentpunishesthosewhocuttreesinsteadofplantingthem答案：[C]24.Theword"bind"inParagraph5means"____________".A.towashawayB.tomakewetC.tomakestaytogetherD.toimprove答案：[C]25.Whenthereisaheavyrain,treescanhelptopreventfloods,astheycan_____.A.keeprainfromfallingdowntosoftgroundB.causethesoiltoallowrainwatertosinkinC.preventthesoilfrombeingwashedawayD.makethetopsoilsticktogether答案：[B]第三部分：词汇与结构（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分）此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳项，并用铅笔将答题卡上的相应字母图黑。26.Idon'tknowthepark,butit's_______tobequitebeautiful.A.saidB.toldC.spokenD.talked答案：[A]itissaid意思是“据说”。27.WhenLilycamehomeat5p.m.yesterday,hermother____dinnerinthekitchen.A.cookedB.wascookingC.cooksD.hascooked答案：[B]这是过去进行时的典型句式。28.Twothousanddollars_______enoughforthepurchaseofthethecar,A.beingB.wereC.areD.is答案：[D]买车的费用是一个整体概念，所以twothousanddollars用单数表示。29.Thenewordermeans_______overtlme.A.worksB.workedC.toworkD.working答案：[D]mean后面要用动词的ing形式。30.Themanagerwillnot_______ustousehiscar.A.haveB.letC.agreeD.allow答案：[D]allowsomebodytodosomething，其他动词的宾补则用不定式不带to。31.Didyounoticetheguy______hatlookedlikelikeanumbrella?A.whoB.whichC.whoseD.whom答案：[C]hat与guy是所属关系，所以选whose。32.Mywalletisnowheretobefound.I_____inthestorethisafternoon.A.mustdropitB.musthavedroppeditC.shouldhavedroppeditD.oughttohavedroppedit答案：[B]此句是一种推测，musthaved
