sthavebeensnowinglastnight,doyouthinkso?[解析]“I'mmusthavebeensnowinghastnight，doyouthinkso?”即“昨晚一定下雪了，你认为呢?”，“musthavedone”表示对过去事实的肯定推测。“Doyouthinkso?”用于征求对方对同一问题的看法。C选项“Yes，thegroundsarewhite．”(是的，地面已经变白了。)是对这一问题的恰当回答，故选C。SectionBShortDialogues6．C[听力原文]M:Isittrueyouonlyspent$32ontwoshirts?W:No,Ionlyspenthalfofthat.Q:Howmuchdoeseachshirtcost?[解析]在这段对话中，男士询问买两件衣服是否要花32美元，女士说只用一半，即16美元，但问题是每件多少钱，所以还要再除以2，即8美元，故选C。7．B[听力原文]W:Wouldyouliketoseeamenu?M:No,thankyou.IalreadyknowwhatIwanttoorder.Q:Whatistherelationshipbetweenthetwospeakers?[解析]从这段对话中我们得知，女士使用“Wouldyoulike...?”这一句式询问男士是否要看菜谱(menu)，而男士表示已经知道要点(order)什么了。menu和order都是餐馆的特征用语，所以可以判断女士是服务员，而男士是顾客，故选D。8．A[听力原文]W:Weren'tyounervouswhentheprofessorcalledonyouintheclass?M:I'dsayIwereshakingallover.Q:Howdidthemanfeelwhenhewascalledon?[解析]在这段对话中，女士询问男士课堂上教授要他回答问题(callon)时是否紧张，男士回答他全身都在发抖(shakeallover)。由此可以推断当时他既担心、又害怕，故选A。9．A[听力原文]W:I'msorrytohavekeptyouwaiting.M:That'squiteallright.Ihavebeenherefornearlyhalfanhour.Q:Whydidthewomanapologizetotheman?[解析]在这段对话中，女士表示让对方等候很抱歉，而男士表示他已经等了她近半个小时。所以女士道歉的原因是她迟到了，故选A。10．B[听力原文]M:ItwasthethirdtimeRangerhadphonedmetosayhehadanewjob.W:It'sdifficulttokeepayoungmaninonejobforlifenowadays.Q:Whatdoesthewomanmean?[解析]这段对话中向我们透露了这样的信息，男士说罗格已经换了三次工作，女士接着说现如今很难让一个年轻人一辈子干一件工作，因此可以推断女士的意思是年轻人很少会干长一份工作，故选D。SectionCShortPassage[听力原文]Dickwasasailoronabigship.ItwenttoJapanandAustralia,soDickwasoftenontheshipforsomemonthsatatime.Whenhe(11)wokeupinthemorningandlookedout,heonly(12)sawthesea,orsometimesaport.Whenhewastwenty-three,Dickmarriedandboughtasmall(13)housewithagardeninhiswife'stown.Itwas(14)farawayfromthesea.Thenhehadtogobacklohisship,andwasaway(15)fromhomefortwomonths.Hewentfromtheporttothetownbybus,andwasveryhappytoseehiswifeagain.11．woke[解析]根据原文(11)处可得出答案。12．saw[解析]根据原文(12)处可得出答案。13．house[解析]根据原文(13)处可得出答案。14．far[解析]根据原文(14)处可得出答案。15．from[解析]根据原文(15)处可得出答案。PartⅡStructuteSectionA16．C[解析]need，require等动词表示“需要……”时，要用动名词或动词不定式的被动形式作宾语，表示被动的含义，即needdoing或needtobedone，故选C。17．A[解析]whom引导的宾语从句作wonder的宾语；而在从句中，whom作belongto的宾语。另外，在宾语从句中，主语和谓语的顺序应与陈述句相同，故选A。18．D[解析]由形容词最高级修饰的名词，其后的定语从句要用that引导，故选D。19．B[解析]since引导的是原因状语从句，表示“因为，由于”。其他选项与题意不符：although意为“虽然，尽管”，if意为“如果”，until意为“直到……才”，故选B。20．D[解析]在表示“要求”，“坚持”，“建议”，“命令”等动词后的从句中，谓语动词用“(should)+动词原形”构成虚拟语气；在这里，省略了should，直接要加动词原形。这些动词的主语从句，如Itisrequiredthat...，Itisorderedthat...，Itissuggestedthat...等，也要用相同的形式，例如：Itissuggestedthatwe(shoulD)studyhard．(人们建议我们应该好好学习。)21．A[解析]该句虽然是直接引语的句子，但时间状语为bytheendoflastyear(到去年为止)，这样直接引语中的谓语动词就构成了“过去的过去”，所以应该用过去完成时。四个选项中只有A是过去完成时时态，故选A。22．C[解析]形容词的比较级前不能加定冠词the，所以B，D不正确。elder主要用于指家庭成员，不符合题意，如：myelderbrother(我的哥哥)，故选C。23．B[解析]以“only+状语”开头的句子要使用部分倒装，即把情态动词或助动词提到主语的前面，所以C、D不正确，但A选项的情态动词也不正确，故选D。24．B[解析]如果主语为单数，尽管后面有with，togetherwith，aswellas，nolessthan，like，but，expect等介词，但这样的介词短语相当于修饰主语的定语成分，所以谓语动词仍用单数，故选B。25．A[解析]takeover意为“接收，接管”；handin意为“上交”；putin意为“放进，提出，提交，插入”；leadto意为“导致，通向”。只有A项符合题意，故选A。SectionB26．werecrossing[解析]根据句意，从句表示过去某段时间正在进行的动作，所以时态要用过去进行时。27．(should)send[解析]当表语从句的主语和同位语从句的先行词是能够引起虚拟语气的抽象名词时，从句必须用虚拟语气。从句的谓语动词用“(should+)动词原形”的形式。类似的名词包括：idea，motion，plan，advice，demand，desire，order，proposal，requirement，suggestion，decision，recommendation等。28．improvement[解析]根据句子结构可以看出no后需要一个名词作宾语，improve的名词形式为improvement，意为“进展，进步”。29．tolive[解析]prefertodosth.ratherthandosth．意为“宁愿做……也不愿做……”。此句中，ratherthan后的live被省略了，故答案为tolive。30．carrying[解析]havedifficulty/trouble(in)doingsth．意为“做……有困难”，因此要把carry变为动名词形式。31．knowing[解析]现在分词作原因状浯相当于as，since，because等连词引导的从句，现在分词与主句主语之间为主谓关系，故答案为knowing。32．height[解析]根据句子结构可以看出the后需要一个名词作宾语，high的名词形式为height，意为“高度”。33．emphasizes[解析]根据句子结构可以看出本句话缺少谓语，所以空格中需要用一个动词做谓语，emphasis的动词为emphasize。本句强调了一个客观事实，所以谓语动词要使用一般现在时，又因为主语“thenumberof...”是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词也要使用第三人称单数形式。34．automatic[解析]根据句子结构可以看出空格中需要一个形容词作定语，来修饰宾语temperaturecontrolsystem，automatically的形容词形式为automatic，意为“自动的，自动化的”。35．worse[解析]根据句意可以看出，本句是两者thisone和thatone之间进行的比较，所以要使用比较级形式。注意：bad的比较级形式是worse。PartⅢReadingComprehensionTask136．D37．B38．D39．A40．CTask241．C42．A43．D44．A45．CTask346．company47．record48．ensure49．sender50．subjectTask4[答案]51．G，E52．A，I53．J，N54．K，O55．M，FTask556．the3rdfloor57．Roomdirect-dial58．attenant'soption59．5-438
