nginlater",TaylerMcCulloughmeansthatmoststudents________.A、havetogetupearlytoprepareforschoolB、wouldconsidertheheadteacher’sideacarefullyC、areinfavorofpostponingclassesbytwohoursD、gotobedlatebutgetupearlyeveryday标准答案：C知识点解析：该句中的but表明其前后两个分句的意思是相反的，可以推断mostofuswouldbeupforgoinginlater应该理解为大多数学生不愿意早起去上学，他们更希望学校推迟上课的时间。因此，本题应选C。除了根据逻辑关系对句意做出推断外，本句的关键是beupfor…这个词组，如果知道这个词组是“支持……”的意思，而不是getup的意思，本题基本上就迎刃而解了。29、WhatdoesKelleymostprobablysuggestaboutbiologicalclock?A、Ourbiologicalclocksarecontrollablebeforetenyearsold.B、Teenagersshouldlearntocontroltheirbiologicalclocks.C、Sleepingtimeshouldvarywiththebiologicalclocks.D、Teenagers’biologicalclocksareeasilyoutofcontrol.标准答案：C知识点解析：从本文第一段开始，我们就知道Kelley认为中学生应该推迟上课时间，因为他们的生物钟与小孩或成人都不同，第3段中间部分通过ProfessorFoster的研究再次强调这一个观点：生物钟发生变化，睡眠时间就应相应变化，C表达了相同的观点，故为本题答案。Kelley认为中学生的上课时间应顺应他们的生物钟，他并没有提及要对生物钟进行控制，而且该段第2句的beyondtheircontrol表明生物钟是不可控制的，因此，A和B不正确；而D中的outofcontrol是“失控”的意思，原文并没有提到任何生物钟“失控”的情况。30、InJanuary,Kelleychosepupilswho________totakepartinhistrial.A、scoredupto90％inaGCSEsciencepaperB、hadnoideaoftheGCSEsciencesyllabusC、werenineyearsofageD、likedphysicalactivities标准答案：B知识点解析：原文这两句介绍了Kelley在1月份做的试验，根据第3句可知，48名参加试验的学生在试验前未接触过任何GCSE科学课程提纲(hadnotcoveredanypartoftheGCSEsciencesyllabusbeforethelessons)，这意味着这些学生在试验前对GCSE科学课程提纲一无所知。可见B的说法是正确的。根据最后一段第2句，学生在实验之后参加GCSE科学课程的考试，获得很好的成绩。A是学生参加试验后的结果，而并非学生被挑选参加实验的条件，不符合题意；该段第3句提到学生是year-ninepupils。year-nine是九年级生，而并非学生都是9岁大.C不正确。31、TheauthorismostlikelytothinkthatKelley’scallforstartingclassesat11a.m.is________.A、groundbreakingB、impracticalC、successfulD、sensible标准答案：A知识点解析：最后一段第1句中的hasahistoryof表明作者认为Kelley一贯以来的教学方法都是groundbreaking(具有开创性)的，这暗示作者认为Kelley这次呼吁将上课时间推迟两小时也是一种开创性的做法。此外，文章第1段第1句用到的pioneering也是“开创性的”的意思。因此，本题应选A。B、C、D之是利用原文出现的字眼进行干扰，且C、D中的词是Kelley本人的期望和看法。并非作者的。五、翻译-汉译英(本题共1题，每题1.0分，共1分。)32、中国人的姓名有自己的传统和特点。与西方人不同，中国人的姓名是姓在前，名在后。名通常为1～2个汉字。中国人的姓名传达特殊意义，名字往往表达对新生儿的美好祝愿。有一些名字暗示出生的地点、时间或自然现象，如晨(早晨)、冬(冬天)；有些体现希望具有某种美德，如忠(忠心)；其他则表达对生活的愿景，如健(健康)。如今中国共有3500个姓氏被普遍使用，使用最多的前三位是李、王、张。中国人有使用自己名字的平等权利，受法律保护。标准答案：ThenamesofChinesepeoplehavetheirowntraditionandcharacteristics.Unlikewesterners,thefamilynameinChinaisputfirst,followedbythegivenname.ThegivennameusuallycontainsoneortwoChinesecharacters.Chinesenamesconveyspecialmeaning,withthegivennamesoftenexpressingthebestofwishesonthenew-born.Someimplythebirthplace,birthtimeornaturalphenomenon,likeChen(morning),Dong(winter);Someembodythehopeofvirtue,likeZhong(faithful)whileothersexpressthewishesoflife,likeJian(health).Together3,500familynamesarecommonlyusednowadaysinChinaandthemostpopularthreeareLi,WangandZhang.AllChinesepeoplehaveequalrightstousetheirownnames,whicharelegallyprotected.知识点解析：1.“姓在前，名在后”，姓名的顺序是由人来决定的，所以在这里用被动语态isput；因为名字紧接在姓的后面，用followedby再合适不过了。2.“中国人的姓名传达特殊意义。名字往往表达……”后一分句是对前一句的补充。前面主语不一样，后半句翻译成英文时转化成“with+adj.+现在分词”结构作伴随状语。3.“使用最多的前三位”必须使用比较级最高级，“使用最多”即最大众化的、最普遍的，所以翻译成themostpopularthree。六、长对话(本题共8题，每题1.0分，共8分。)33、A、Itcouldnotreceiveormakecalls.B、Itreceivesthesignalbutalwayscutsoffhalfway.C、Itcanmakecallsbutthesignalisnotclear.D、Itcouldonlyreceiveincomingcalls.标准答案：A知识点解析：男士打电话抱怨他的手机信号总显示忙碌，接不进也打不出电话。故A正确。男士打电话投诉，这类题常常会问考生投诉的原因，因而听音时抓住听音关键点。其他选项都是选取对话中个别词句、胡乱搭配而设的干扰项。34、A、Togetafeedbackaboutthephone.B、Tofindoutwheretheproblemlies.C、Togetthephonefixedimmediately.D、Toapologyforhisinconvenience.标准答案：B知识点解析：女士问男士这个情况已经有多久了，问这个的原因是这可能会让她知道是手机还是信号接收出了问题。可知她是为了找出问题所在，故B项正确。选项均是不定式短语，可知题目问目的或原因。女士在问howlong的时候，紧接着就说出了她问这个问题的原因。A中的feedback，C中的fixed和D中的apologyfor…inconvenience都能在对话中听到，但都属于利用片言只语进行干扰，这三项都不是女士问问题存在多久的原因。35、A、Damagetotheequipment.B、Theman’swrongoperation.C、Thelin
