Writeatleast100wordsandbaseyourcompositionontheoutlinebelowandusethewordsforreferencesasmanyasyoucan.1.有些人认为某些数字会带来好运。2.我认为数字和运气无关，……解析

PartIVocabularyandStructure1.C【句意】他不懂英语,

更不必说英语文化了。【解析】考查固定搭配tosaynothingof“更不必说，更谈不上”。2.B【句意】不懂法不是犯法的借口。【解析】excuse“借口”；reason“原因”；ground“基础”；point“意义”。B正确。3.A【句意】据说新法规将开始执行。【解析】putintoeffect“使生效，实行”；takeintoaccount“把…考虑在内”；keepinsight“看见”；bringtomind“想起”。根据题意，A正确。4.D【句意】生活经常被作家比作舞台。【解析】compareto“比作”；comparewith“与…相比”。没有compareas和comparelike的搭配。因此D项正确。5.C【句意】电视使我们比以往更见多识广。【解析】informed是形容词，“有知识的，了解情况的，见闻广的”。其他三项均不符合句意。6.A【句意】你昨天本来能够做得更好，可你为什么没做好？【解析】

couldhavedone:

本能够做某事，而实际却没做，是虚拟语气，但后半句whydidn’tyou?

不是虚拟语气，表示真实状态

—

昨天的情况。因此选A项。7.D【句意】空气，或者是被称为大气的东西，包围着整个地球。【解析】what（连词）在此句中引导名词从句与air并列作句子的主语。8.B【句意】如果我做某事是徒劳，那就是说我做这事没成功。【解析】invain“徒劳，无效”，与withoutsuccess意思相符。withoutinterest“没兴趣的”；withoutdifficulty“毫不困难的”。9.D【句意】那位老人行走缓慢，时常停下来休息。【解析】stop后面可以有两种非谓语动词形式，即：stoptodo:

停止某事去做另一件事；stopdoing:

停止正在做的某件事情。根据题意，D正确。10.A【句意】不久以后疼痛将会消失。【解析】byandby“不久以后”；allover“到处”；atpresent“目前，现在”；byanychance“万一，碰巧”。根据题意，A正确。11.B【句意】你不认为该是戒烟的时候了吗【解析】句型：Itistime+that…中由that引导的从句是虚拟语气句型。从句中的动词应为一般过去时。12.D【句意】正如上面指出的，这种物质可以被用作替代品。【解析】此句型是由关系代词as引导的定语从句，as在定语从句中用作主语。13.C【句意】我找不到彼得,

也不知道他去了哪里。【解析】nor“也不”，置于否定句之后，在nor之后接“助动词+主语+动词”或“be动词+主语”的倒装句。

14.D【句意】如果说我对这本书评价不高，这意味着我对这本书评价不好。【解析】notthinkmuchof…:“对……评价不高”与haveapooropinionof…:“对……评价不好或不高”的意思相同。资料来源：31省市学位英语网B【句意】既然你跟她商谈过这件事，你就不应该再见她。【解析】when

在此句中的意思是“既然”，引导状语从句。又因为句子表示的是过去的含义，应该选择过去时态。故B正确。16.D【句意】就剩下这两朵小黄花了。【解析】当若干个形容词修饰一个名词时，排列顺序是：数量

+

质量

+

大小

+

颜色

+

状态

+

名词。17.A【句意】奥委会制订了严格的规则要运动员遵循。【解析】goby“遵循”；goon“继续”；goover“复习，检查”；goafter“追逐，追求”。18.A【句意】对你所做的事情我很不高兴。【解析】farfrom（副词词组）“远非，完全不，非但不”。所以应选pleased，表示状态。19.B【句意】让别人听明白，这种能力对任何说话人都是很重要的。【解析】动词不定式作定语修饰ability，而且此处应使用被动语态的形式。20.C【句意】如果她知道了你弄丢了她的书怎么办？【解析】asif“好像”；evenif“即使，纵然”；whatif“如果…怎么样”

；supposethat“假如”，后跟从句。

PartIIReadingComprehension21.C【解析】主旨题。全文分别讲述了什么是hightech（高端技术）和thestateofarts（当前最新水平）。故选C是正确答案。22.A【解析】推理判断题。第一段最后一句“由于技术的进步，人们在美国的商店里能够买到许多新产品。”从此句可以推断出：美国的商店可以为人们提供新产品。23.C【解析】

细节题。答案在第一段第四句至第一段最后一句可知A、B、D项都是高科技，只有C项不是。24.D【解析】细节题。从最后一段第一、二句“计算机的变化如此迅速以至于今天的高科技计算机明天可能就落后了。高科技这个词会变得如同计算机那样常见和流行。”可知A项和Ｃ项正确；从第二段最后两句可知B项正确。所以Ｄ项是正确答案。25.B【解析】主旨题。同第一题。26.B【解析】主旨题。全文围绕着作弊的原因展开说明，并且在第三段中的society’sattitudesaccountformuchoftheincreaseincheating.（社会态度说明了作弊现象上升的原因。）也具体指出作弊的原因。资料来源：31省市学位英语网C【解析】细节题。最后一段“当利益很大而被抓住的机会很低时，作弊最有可能发生”。28.D【解析】细节题。由第二段第一句“你想得到某样东西，但通过合法途径又无法得到，你就会不惜犯罪或后悔并且宁愿冒着被抓的危险去得到它”可知D正确。29.A【解析】推断题。倒数第二段大意为：过去大学生作弊被看作是极其严重的事情，即使不被永远开除也会被停课一学期，而现在文理学院的政策是对学生作弊的科目以不及格记分，仅此而已。学生会想：反正也是不及格，为什么不作弊呢？所以A项“作弊广为传播是因为社会对此太容忍了”为正确答案。资料来源：31省市学位英语网B【解析】词汇题。flunk所在的句子意思为：反正也是不及格，为什么不作弊呢？所以B项fail“不及格”是正确答案。31.D【解析】推理判断题。第二段后几句描绘了过去的乡村生活：你认识村中所有人而且村中所有人也认识你；在村中走着就可以去进行娱乐活动；家庭主妇全天在家操持家务；每晚为了节省煤和灯油很早就睡觉了。由此可见，现在的乡村生活与过去不一样。32.C【解析】细节题。第三段第四句“电和汽车使乡村生活和城镇生活几乎一样”。故选项C符合题意。33.A【解析】推断题。由第二段后几句（同第11题）可知过去的村民比现在的村民过着更简朴的生活。资料来源：31省市学位英语网D

【解析】语义题。原句thereisnopointwhateverintalkinganylongerabout“villagelife”.（因为乡村生活与城镇生活几乎相同，谈论乡村生活就没有什么意思了）。故D符合题意。35.A【解析】纵观全文，尤其在最后一句“现在走在乡村街道上的孩子比以前的孩子吃得更好，穿得更好，受教育更好，更健康，更可爱。”可以看出作者对乡村生活是肯定态度的。因此选A。36.D【解析】Millionsdoit

指代的就是上句话：itispossibleforordinarypeopletomaketheirhomesonth
