一、作文(本题共7题，每题7.0分，共7分。)

1、Forthispari,youareallowed30minutestowriteanessayentitledHowtoLivea

givenbelowinChinese:1.许多大学生希望自己的校园生活能够丰富多彩；2.有许

多方式可以丰富大学生活；3.对此你有什么建议？HowtoLiveaColorfulLifeon

Campus

标准答案：Nearlyallstudentswanttomaketheirlifeoncampusascolorfulaspossible.

Withacolorfullife,astudentcanfeelmeaningfulandconfident.Soitisnecessaryfora

studenttolearnhowtoliveacolorfullifeoncampus.Thereareseveralwaystolivea

colorfullifeoncampus.Itisagoodchoiceforstudentstojoinvariousclubsandgroups.

fromthem.Moreover,Itakeanactivepartinsocialpractice.Bothdanceclubandsocial

practicearehelpfultomakemylifeoncampusmoreenjoyable.

知识点解析：文章的第一段提出丰富多彩的校园生活可以让学生感到自信，生活

得有意义，随之自然地引出学生有必要学着使自己的校园生活丰富多彩。第二段提

小使校园生活丰富多彩的两种方法。一种是参加各种俱乐部、学生团体；一种是

参加社会实践。最后一段作者重申主题。以自己为例，让读者知道自己的建议是有

据可依的。短文的第二段在介绍两种方法时没有用first、second一类的词，而是

用了besides；最后一段用了分词短语takingmyselfasanexample开头，通过这种

方式，可以让阅卷老师觉得语言运用不落俗套。

48、[SI]

标准答案：G

知识点解析：从语法结沟上判断应选择一个形容词，能修饰“styleofliving”的正是

collective(共用的，集体的)。从上下文理解这段主要讲的是“历史记载证明人们过着

集体生活，如在一个房间内吃饭、睡觉、接待客人等”。

49、[S2]

标准答案：L

知识点解析：从结构上讲应选择一名词，group-orienled（有群体导向的，群体的）应

修饰一个意思为“生活，生活方式”的名词，existence正是这个意思。

50、[S3]

标准答案：B

知识点解析：从语法结沟上判断应选择一个动词的过去式，与“ate,used”相一致，

所以B选项是正确答案。

51、[S4]

标准答案：O

知识点解析：从这句话前半部分意思判断应选择一个含有“个人的，一个人的''词义

的词,来修饰后面的"copsandplates”。

52、[S5]

标准答案：K

知识点解析：从结构上判断应选择一个过去分词作定语，来修饰前面的三个名词，

当然served最合适，在这里的意思是“供（某人）饭菜，把（饭菜）摆上桌”。

53、[S6]

标准答案：H

知识点解析：从语法结阂判断应选择一个动词原形，entertain（款待）和invile（邀请）

都能与guests搭配。但款待客人需要一个场所，而邀请只是发出邀请的信息。故选

Ho

54、[S7]

标准答案：E

知识点解析：从语法结沟判断应选择一个副词，strikingly和slightly都可以修饰

different,但词义不同。从上下文看，墨西哥人和美国人的家庭空间感非常不同，

所以应选择E。

55、[S8]

标准答案：I

知识点解析：首先考虑选择一个形容词，outdoor（户夕卜的）和domestic（家庭的）都可

修饰activities,但这句话的意思是“房间与天井相通，各种家庭活动都在天井里进

行”。故应选择I。

56、[S9]

标准答案：N

知识点解析：能修饰bedrooms的形容词只有separale,它除了可以作动词外，还可

以作形容词，意思是“单独的，各自的”。

57、[S10]

标准答案：D

知识点解析：应选择名词，构成一个介词短语。incontrast是固定搭配，意思是“相

反“。contrary也是“相反”意思，但它的搭配是2thecontrary。

为“他们一直吃直到你认为他们的肚皮快要炸开为止”，对这句话的理解可以借助于

它的前一句，即“英国人吃饭很粗鲁”，这说明这里要表达的意思是D）。［避错］”他

们吃饭并不是仅仅满足于‘吃饱'”，文中并役有提及该内容，排除A）；“他们一直吃

直到食物全都被吃光”，文中只是说他们一直吃直到肚皮快要爆裂为止，并没有提

食品的影响，但全文并没有提及美国食品风味和种类的独特性，故B）为正确答

案。［避错］根据原文可知，英国人用餐桌布擦嘴，因此A）“英国人有不好的餐桌礼

仪”说法正确；原文中说“美国食品中含有太多的脂肪、太多的盐和太多的醋”，由

此可知C）选项正确；根据原文意思，在那段时间到美国的欧洲旅行者对美国的吃

饭习惯感到非常震惊，即“欧洲人一点也不习惯美国的这种吃饭习惯”，故D）说法

正确。

直接提到作者对美国食品的态度，但是通过抓住关键句我们是可以推测出本题的答

案的。不同的移民群体不断地增加大溶炉的食品风味和特色，但你却能容易地选出

各自的独特特色。故选D）。|避错］A）和B）选项是拿美国食品与其他国家或欧洲食

品做了比较，文中自始至终都没有涉及这方面的内容，故排除A）和B）,C）选项重

点强调的是欧洲食品而非美国食品，排除C）。
