解析： 本文介绍了美国的国会图书馆。首先要听清楚数字，文章中好几处出现了数字，要保证数字的准确。其次，专有名词、国家需要大写，例如“the Library of Congress”， “the United States”。最后，文章中有些单词考生可能不熟悉或会拼错，例如“imaginable”，“senator”，“congressmen”，“marble”，“pillars”，“terminals”。考生一方面需要提高辨音技能，另一方面需要理解文章的意思。 知识模块：听写
PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION (20 MIN)Directions: In Sections A, B and C you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Mark the correct answer to each question on your answer sheet.
SECTION A CONVERSATIONSDirections: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文：W: Today’s arts report is on Dan Parker of the American Indian Dance Theater. Mr. Parker, I understand your troupe performs traditional music and dance from many different Native American cultures. Can you give us some ideas of some of the dances you’ll be doing in the performance tonight?M: Certainly. We’ll be doing won-us-award dance. Originally it was a story telling device to recount battles. Another is the grass dance, performed by the plains Indians, where they actually flatten tall field grass to prepare for a ceremony.W: Since your dancers are from many different tribes, how can you be sure the dances are done correctly?M: Everything we do has been approved by the elders of our tribes. That’s partly because we don’t necessarily know each other’s styles of dances. But it’s also because it’s hard to get complete agreement even within the same tribe about exactly how the dance should be done.W: Anyone who attends one of your performances will notice that your company goes to a lot of trouble to provide detailed explanations of the origin of the dances, the music, the costumes and so forth. Could you explain to our listeners why you do these?M: Good question. Our explanations show that in our cultures, dance is ritual rather than entertainment. We also want to make it clear to our audience that we are not performing any dances used for sacred ceremonies.
2． What is the main topic of the conversation? A．The dances of a Native American dance troupe.
B．The classification of Native American ceremonial dances. C．Variations of a basic dance among Native American tribes. D．The training of Native American artists.
正确答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。在采访中，主持人或记者的问题经常是谈话的核心。对话中主持人问道：“你能向我们介绍一下今晚表演的一些舞蹈吗?”可见舞蹈表演是采访的主题。正确答案是A项。B、C、D项虽然都有dance，但所说的都不是要表演的舞蹈，因此不正确。 知识模块：对话听力
3． What is the purpose of the interview? A．To broadcast an award ceremony.
B．To announce a meeting of the tribal elders. C．To celebrate the opening of a new theater. D．To inform people about a performance.
正确答案：D
解析：推理题。问到采访的目的，我们同样应该主要关注的是主持人或记者的提问，单个问题或是多个问题的综合便可显露出采访的意图。本段对话中，主持人的问题都是要求对方介绍他们所表演的舞蹈的情况，所以其目的也就是要通过这样的方式告知相关表演的情况，所以在此我们应该选D项。 知识模块：对话听力
4． Why are the dances approved by the elders of the tribes?
A．The elders must give approval to perform sacred dances.
B．The elders would make sure that the dances are performed properly. C．The troupe is financed by the elders.
D．The elders have substantial acting experience.
正确答案：B 解析：细节归纳题。男士在回答主持人的问题时说到了他们所做的一切都经过部落长者的批准，接下来便给出了两方面的原因。一是由于他们相互之间不一定清楚各自舞蹈的风格；另外也是由于即使在同一个部落中，人们有时也不能对某种舞蹈确切的跳法达成一致的意见。综合以上原因，对照选项可以确定最佳答案是B项。 知识模块：对话听力
听力原文：W: Hi, Jim. What are you doing?M: Oh. Hi, Linda. I’m working on a report on energy sources for my environmental science class. But I’m having trouble finding enough information.W: You know, we were talking about sources of fuel in my class today.M: Yeah’?W: Prof. Collins. He’s an authority on energy sources. He was telling us about a new way of getting fuel oil from coal.M: I didn’t know that was possible.W: He said something about coal being set on fire and blasted with a mixture of steam and oxygen. This process produces a gas made up of hydrogen and carbon, the.., hum, the basic elements of oil.M: And then they do something to change that gas to oil?W: Right. First, since coal contains fewer hydrogen atoms than oil, they have to add some extra hydrogen to the gas. Then impurities are washed out with methanol, I think, before this gas is sent on to reactors where it’s changed into oil.M: Since coal is so plentiful I guess it won’t be long till this new type of oil will be available all over the place, ah?W: I doubt it. Prof. Collins said something about the process not be economically enough to use in this country. At any rate, you really ought to talk to him. He’ll be able to help you more than I can and he’s got office hours all afternoon today. M: Thanks. He’s over in Anderson Hall, right? W: Right.

D．The gas it produces is harmful to the environment.
正确答案：B
听力原文：W: Hi, Bill. You weren’t in engineering class today, were you?M: Hi, Amy. I have the flu. I was wondering if you could tell me what went on.W: Actually we had an interesting class. Dr. Collin talked about a new type of fuel.M: Oh, yeah?W: Uh-hum. It’s called dimethyl ether or DME.M: Oh, I remember reading something about DME. It’s mostly used in spray cans, right?W: Right. DME doesn’t destroy the ozone, so it’s been environmentally friendly.M: But doesn’t DME pollute the air if it’s burned in an engine?W: Dr. Collin said something about its exhausts being clear, that it doesn’t release as many pollutants as diesel fuel. And he mentioned something about DME being more efficient than other alternative fuels. M: So when will it replace diesel fuel?W: Not for a while. It’s not economical to mass-produce. M: Well, thanks for the information. I guess I won’t need to borrow your notes. W: Well, maybe you should look at them. We are having a test next week. M: Okay, could you give them to Mike Andrews? I think he is in your psychology class. He is my roommate. W: Sure. I hope you’re feeling better soon. M: Thank you.
8． What’s the conversation mainly about? A．A more economical diesel fuel.
B．Characteristics of a new type of fuels. C．Where a new energy source is located. D．How to develop alternative energy sources.
正确答案：B 解析：主旨大意题。男士因为患流感，没有上工程课。女士告诉他上课内容。通过女士的介绍：DME不会破坏臭氧层，更环保，燃烧后排放的气体是清洁的，但大量生产的造价较高。可以判断出谈话者谈论的是一种新型燃料的特点，即B项。 知识模块：听力
9． Why is the woman giving the man the information? A．Because he missed the class. B．Because he lost his notes.
C．Because he’s studying for a test.
D．Because he’s doing research on this topic.
正确答案：A 解析：细节题。男士因为患流感，没有上工程课，因此向女士询问课堂内容。
所以选择A项。 知识模块：听力
10． What effect will the increased use of DME instead of diesel fuel probably have?
A．It will reduce the amount of pollutants in the air.
B．It will increase the amount of unpleasant odors from vehicles. C．It will eventually destroy the ozone layer.
D．It will reduce the cost of running large vehicles.
正确答案：A
解析：细节题。DME燃烧后排放的气体是清洁的，不会像柴油那样排放出大量污染物。所以选择A项。 知识模块：听力
11． According to the conversation, why won’t DME be on the market soon? A．It hasn’t been adequately tested. B．It’s expensive.
C．It damages car engines. D．It’s dangerous to transport.
正确答案：B 解析：细节题。DME不会很快取代柴油，因为它的生产费用昂贵，expensive是not economical“不经济的，不节俭的”的同义替换，所以选择B项。其他选项纯属无中生有。 知识模块：听力

听力原文： Although our lives depend on plants for virtually everything that keeps us alive, their lives remain a secret to most of us. The reason is simple — [11B] plants live on a different time-scale from ours. Although not usually obvious in the relatively hyperactive activities of humans, plants are in constant motion as they develop, search for light and nutrients, avoid predators, exploit neighbors, and reproduce. Time-lapse photography allows us to easily see the movements of plants and clearly demonstrates that plants are living organisms capable of some extraordinary things. [12A] Time-lapse photography is done by capturing a series of images at intervals ranging from seconds to hours apart. When the images are viewed in rapid succession, much like a flip book, the effect is to compress into a short period, the changes that occurred over a relatively long period of time. The movies on this site show a variety of plants living out their dynamic lives. While we especially hope this site provides material that may captivate the interest of budding plant biologists, even the seasoned plant biologists will find interesting material. New movies will be added to the site as we make or obtain them. However, since making time-lapse movies requires considerable patience, time, and some luck, the rate at which new movies will appear is unpredictable. [13D]Other educational materials are also becoming available on the site. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the material that is available now.
15． Why are the lives of plants not well-known to most people? A．Because plants are not important to people.
B．Because plants’ time-scale is different from ours.
C．Because plants are not in constant motion. D．Because it is impossible for people to know it.
正确答案：B
解析：文章一开始就明确提到，人们不是十分了解植物生命活动的事实，原因是plants live on adifferent time-scale from ours(植物活动的时间节奏与人类不同)。
16． How can time-lapse photography be made to demonstrate the living organism of plants?
A．A series of images are captured at different intervals. B．Extraordinary things are taken all the time. C．It takes a relatively long time to take images. D．The images are viewed very slowly.
正确答案：A
解析：文中提到，Time-lapse photography(慢速摄影)能够使人们很容易地观察植物的活动，而且清晰地表明植物是活的有机体，紧接着后面又提到了慢速摄影主要是capturing a series of images at intervals(在不同的时间间隔抓拍物体的影像)，再连续播放(viewed in rapid succession)，这样就能展示植物是活的有机体了，故答案为[A]。
17． What is the passage mainly about? A．Ways to make time-lapse photography. B．Difficulties in making time-lapse movies. C．Importance of plants to human beings. D．A website with photos of plants in movie.
正确答案：D
解析：纵观全文，本文主要介绍一个site(网站)，该网站提供了有关植物生命活动的照片和视频，结尾处还提到了有关该网站目前的情况：其他教育资料也available on the site(可在该网站获得)。
听力原文： A lot of people don’t like to give waiters extra money--a tip, but maybe those people don’t understand a bout waitresses and waiters. You see, we get very low wages, most of the time less than the minimum wage. We count on the tips as part of our salary. If waiters and waitresses didn’t get tips, they wouldn’t get enough money to live. People ask me, “What’s a good tip?” I like to get 15% of the bill. So if a customer has to pay $ 20. 00 for her dinner, I like to get about $ 3.00 for a tip. Sometimes I expect 20% if I did a lot work for the customer. But do you know something? Very often it’s the person you work the most for who gives you the smallest tips. Once I looked up “tipping” in a dictionary. It said that the letters in the word “tip” stand for “To Insure Promptness”. No one knows if that is the real
meaning of “tip”, but it makes sense to me. If we know a regular customer is a good tipper, then we make sure he gets good service. But if someone gives small tips, we aren’t in a hurry to bring him food or get his drinks. So remember, be nice to your waitress and she’ll be nice to you.
18． The main aim of the speaker is to ______. A．explain the derivation of the word “tip”
B．illustrate why difficult customers give bad tips C．put forward reasons for a salary increase D．indicate how one can get better service
正确答案：D

B．A $ 3.00 tip is usually expected for a meal of $ 20. 00.
C．Waiters and waitresses often get best tips from customers they work most for. D．Good tipping can help customers get quick service.
正确答案：C
21． The general tone of the passage is one of ______. A．annoyance B．explanation C．deduction D．complaint

SECTION C NEWS BROADCASTDirections: In this section, you will hear several news items. Listen to them carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文： Thousands of people living in villages closest to the volcano have already been moved to emergency shelters. Many more are lining up by the side of the road waiting for trucks to take them to safety. But still there are a few farmers refusing to move. Without their crops and animals they have no income and cannot
support their families so they’re waiting until the government offers financial help. Meanwhile, the mountain above them is becoming more active by the day. At least one village about three kilometers from the crater has been covered in a dusting of volcanic ash. One scientist told the BBC he now believed Merapi was in what he called the early stages of an eruption but he added “we cannot predict when it will reach its peak”.
22． Why do some farmers refuse to move to emergency shelters? A．They are lining up for trucks to take them to safety. B．They want to watch the unusual volcano eruption. C．They hope the government can provide some money. D．They think volcanic ash is good to their crops.

听力原文： The Chinese authorities have announced the completion of what they say is the world’s highest railway, connecting Tibet with the rest of China. Beijing has planned the railway since the 1950s, but construction was delayed by high
costs and technical obstacles. With more, Daniel Griffiths reports from Beijing: The new railway climbs more than 5,000 meters above sea level, running through mountain passes and over Tibet’s snow-covered plateau. It’s a major feat of engineering, crossing some of the most inhospitable terrain in China.

32． 【C1】 A．with B．at C．as D．on
正确答案：C
解析：语法结构题。通过分析句子结构可知，空格所在句与下一句存在因果关系，是一个原因状语从句，四个选项中只有as可以引导原因状语从句。 知识模块：完形填空
33． 【C2】
A．argued B．complained C．testified D．agreed
正确答案：A
解析：语义衔接题。根据上下文，引导的宾语从句陈述的是批评家们的观点或言论，所填词应该含有“认为”的意思。complain是“抱怨，投诉”；testify是“坦白，供认”；agree是“同意”；只有argue有“认为”的意思，故选择A。 知识模块：完形填空
34． 【C3】 A．crucial B．various C．enormous D．unnecessary
正确答案：D 解析：形容词辨析题。crucial是“重要的”；various是“各种各样的”；enormous 是“巨大的”；unnecessary是“不必要的”。根据句子结构，所填词与amenities构成短语，与bloated bureaucracies，overpaid faculty并列，bloated和overpaid含有贬义成分，故所填词也应该具有类似含义，只有D符合句意。 知识模块：完形填空
35． 【C4】 A．inflating B．rising
C．accelerating D．fabricating
正确答案：A
解析：动词辨析题。inflating是“抬高物价，通货膨胀”；rising是“提升，上升”；accelerating是“加速”；fabricating是“建造，编造”。文章第一句话就告诉我们大学的费用已攀升到通货膨胀率的两倍，由此可知，批评家们认为学费被“增加，提高”了。rise为不及物动词，所以只有inflating符合条件。 知识模块：完形填空
36． 【C5】 A．overestimated B．overpriced C．overstated D．overseen
正确答案：B
解析：形容词辨析题。overestimated是“过高估计”；overpriced是“标价过高”；overstated是“过分强调”；overseen是“监督，看管”。根据句子，句首的yet提示本句语义发生转折，上文提到大学学费过高，由此可推知本句要表达的是图书作者认为实际上大学费用并不高，所以只有B符合题意。 知识模块：完形填空
37． 【C6】 A．as
B．because C．although D．whether
正确答案：C
解析：语法结构题。根据原文可知，公立学校的总费用提高了一倍，同时好处也增加了，两部分之间存在着让步的关系，故选择although。 知识模块：完形填空
38． 【C7】 A．until B．since C．by D．before
正确答案：B
解析：语法结构题。由has nearly doubled可知，本句使用了现在完成时，空后的2000应该为时间状语。使用现在完成时的句子通常用since引导时间状语，所以答案为B。 知识模块：完形填空
39． 【C8】 A．to B．with C．after D．toward
正确答案：B
解析：固定搭配题。come with为固定搭配，意思是“伴随……发生”，故答案是B。 知识模块：完形填空
40． 【C9】 A．mildly B．properly C．considerably D．rationally
正确答案：C
解析：副词辨析题。mildly是“温和地”；properly是“适当地”；considerably是“显著地”；rationally是“理性地”。根据上下文，此处是对increased的程度进行描述。句末的too一词提示，益处增长程度不亚于学费的增长程度，可见增长是“显著”的，所以选择C。 知识模块：完形填空
41． 【C10】 A．section B．interval C．session D．period
正确答案：D
解析：名词辨析题。section是“部分，截面”；interval是“间歇”；session是“会议，学期”；period表示“一段时间”。根据空格前的time一词提示，此处表示时间段，所以选择D。 知识模块：完形填空
42． 【C11】 A．at B．by C．to D．about
正确答案：B
解析：介词搭配题。空格后的20 percent与空格前的has climbed提示，所填词应该与20 percent作状语，表示“提升的百分比”，所以用介词by。 知识模块：完形填空
43． 【C12】 A．important B．interesting C．amazing D．fatal
正确答案：A 解析：形容词辨析题。important是“重要的”；interesting是“有趣的”；amazing是“令人惊讶的”；fatal是“致命的，决定性的”。上一段提到大学学费增加，同时大学毕业生和非大学毕业生的收入差距也在加大。本段进一步讨论这种现象带来的问题，语义上为递进关系，所以importmant符合题意答案为A。 知识模块：完形填空
44． 【C13】 A．off B．over
C．out D．away
正确答案：C
解析：固定搭配题。lose out为固定搭配，意为“输掉，失败”，所以答案为C。 知识模块：完形填空
45． 【C14】 A．due to B．despite C．in spite of D．since
正确答案：A
解析：语法结构题。分析句子结构，所填词应该与后面的the housing bust共同作状语。due to是“因为”，引导原因状语，符合题意；despite和in spite of均为“尽管”，引导让步状语，不符合题意；since表示原因时后面需接从句，所以只有A是正确的。 知识模块：完形填空
46． 【C15】 A．it B．as C．that D．which
正确答案：D
解析：语法结构题。分析句子结构，空格后的内容由逗号隔开，是一个非限制性的定语从句。which和as均可以修饰非限制性定语从句，但as引导的非限制性定语从句的谓语动词必须是系动词，而本句的谓语动词是has，故选择which。 知识模块：完形填空
47． 【C16】 A．specifically B．precisely C．normally D．largely
正确答案：B
解析：副词辨析题。specifically表示“具体地”；precisely表示“精确地，恰好”；normally是“正常地”；largely是“大量地，主要地”。本句大意是“价格恰恰在一小部分低收入家庭难以应付开销的时候升高了”，所以B最符合题意。 知识模块：完形填空
48． 【C17】
A．that B．when C．which D．in which
正确答案：B
解析：语法结构题。根据句子结构，空格后是一个定语从句，修饰time，所填词在从句中作状语表示时间，所以用关系副词when。 知识模块：完形填空
49． 【C18】 A．Besides B．In addition C．In other words D．In general
正确答案：C
解析：语义衔接题。根据句子结构，空格后的句子是对前面直接引语内容的进一步说明，所以用in other words意为“换句话说”，对前文进行解释说明。besides和in addition都是“此外”的意思，in general是“总的来说”的意思。 知识模块：完形填空
50． 【C19】 A．raising B．arising C．risen D．rising
正确答案：D
解析：动词辨析题。表示价格上升一般用“rise”，此处为进行时态，所以用现在分词形式rising。arise是“产生(问题等)”，raise是“饲养，喂养，使……上升”的意思。 知识模块：完形填空
51． 【C20】 A．more B．fewer C．most D．some
正确答案：B
解析：语义衔接题。根据原文可知，由于价格在升高，所以能承担起费用的人应该是更少了，所以用fewer。 知识模块：完形填空

marked A, B, C and D. Choose one word or phrase that best completes the sentence.
52． _____in physical shape, he dropped out of the University of Syracuse. A．As he was bad B．Bad as he was
C．Bad although he was D．Bad though he was
正确答案：A
解析：As he was bad是原因状语从句，as是“因为”的意思。Bad as he was是一个让步状语从句，采用的是半倒装形式，意为“尽管他很糟”。C和D两项不成立。 知识模块：倒装省略
53． Since he worked the hardest, he got the lion’s share. The underlined part means
A．the biggest share
B．the share taken from a lion C．the most precious part D．the heaviest part
正确答案：A
解析：短语理解题。the lion’s share是一个习惯表达，指的是“最大的一份”，因此这道题目的正确答案应该是[A]the biggest share。 知识模块：语法与词汇
54． The situation is rather complicated ______ we have two managing directors.
A．since that B．in that C．at that D．so that
正确答案：B
解析：短语含义与用法。in that表示“既然，因为”，相当于because，因此B为正确选项。sincethat和at that无此搭配；so that表示“以便，因而”，不合句意。 知识模块：语法与词汇
55． Cut off by the storm, they were forced to______food for several days. A．go in for B．go over C．go without D．go out
正确答案：C 解析：该题是词汇题，考查动词短语辨析。短语go in for表示“从事、参加”，
如：I did not want to go in for engineering．我不打算从事工程师行业。短语go over表示“研究、复习、搜查”等，如：We’ll go over every question．我们要研究每一个问题。／He went over his notes before the exam．考试前他复习他的笔记。短语go without 表示“没有……而将就对付”，如：The poor boy often had to go without supper．那个可怜的男孩常常没晚饭吃。短语go out表示“出去、熄灭、过时”，如：Long skins ate gradually going out．长裙子慢慢过时了。因此，根据题意，选项C为最佳答案。 知识模块：语法与词汇
56． In devoting herself to the study of gorillas, Dian Fossey ______ on a course of action that was to cost her life.
A．boarded B．embarked C．mounted D．ascended
正确答案：B
解析：动词词义与搭配题。由on a course of action可排除board“上车，上船，进入或登上(交通工具或船)”，mount“爬上，使上马”和ascend“攀登，上升”，故选embark on“着手，从事，开始一项冒险活动”。另注意：on board表示“在船上”；be mounted on表示“安装在……之上”。 知识模块：词汇
57． Without microscopes and other modern ______, attempts to teach science were futile.
A．utilities B．equipment C．costume D．products
正确答案：B
解析：名词词义辨析题。由并列连词and和other可知，选用的词应是与microscopes“显微镜”并列的设备，equipment表示“设备，装备，器材”，故B正确。utilities表示“公用事业，有用的东西”；costume表示“装束，服装”；products表示“产品，产物”，范围过宽。 知识模块：词汇
58． Trade dispute is one of the major issues that ___________ Sino-US relations.
A．bothers B．bother

正确答案：B 59． ______ in the United States, St. Louis has now become the 24th largest city.
A．The fourth biggest city it was B．Once the fourth biggest city C．Being the fourth biggest city
D．It was once the fourth biggest city
正确答案：B
解析：考查主语同位语的用法。从语法上来说，A和D一定是不对的，因为两个句子皆没有连词。选项C表示现在是第四大城市，与句意不符。once表示“曾经，一度”，因此选项B为正确答案。
60． The cloth is________. A．as blue as green B．bluer than green C．more blue than green D．so blue as green
正确答案：C
61． Historically the Ukrainians are an ancient ______ which has persisted and survived through terrible calamity.
A．country B．nation C．state D．territory
正确答案：B 解析：此题考查名词同义词的用法。nation在此句是“民族”的意思。country指自然地理方面的国家。 country作“农村”解时为不可数名词，作“国家”解时为可数名词。state指政治概念的国家，美国的州为state。territory意思是“领土，版图，地域”。
62． It is useful to be able to predict the extent ______ which a price change will affect supply and demon.
A．from B．with C．to D．for
正确答案：C
解析：题型：语法题。从本句结构我们可以看出，本句空格后边的部分是“prep.+rel.pron.(which)”引导的定语从句，修饰主句中的先行词extent，四个选项中能与extent构成介词短语的只有C项。
63． If you have never planted anything, you won’t be able to know the pleasure
of watching the thing you have planted
A．grow B．to grow C．growing

65． Weather______ , we’ll go for an outing. A．being permitted B．permitted C．permitting D．permits

解析：weather permitting是一个独立主格结构。
66． After 9.11, educators in America are thinking about how to help children become ______.
A．flexible B．resilient C．elastic D．yielding

73． ______. the temperature falling so rapidly, we could n’ t go on with the experiment.
A．With B．For C．As D．Since
正确答案：A
解析：独立分词结构前可以加介词with，其作用与不加介词with的独立分词结构一致，例如：With the current；changing，the magnetic field changes．随着电流的变化，磁场也变化。With everything taken into account，the proposal is relatively practical．通盘考虑，这个建议相对实用些。With the changes in their social role，women’s position in
74． Our scientific findings cannot be regarded as ______. in such a short period of time.
A．to have been obtained B．to be obtained

75． The trade unions in this industry are ______ any reduction in wages. A．opposed to
B．objecting against C．reacted to
D．resisting against
正确答案：A
解析：短语动词辨析题。be opposed to意为“反对，对抗”；object一般与to搭配使用；react to意为“做出反应，反应”；resist不与against连用。
76． Though having been living in Shanghai for 20 years, he still has a ______ northern accent.
A．distinctive B．distinct
C．distinguished D．distinguishing
正确答案：B
解析：题意为：他虽然已经在上海住了20年，但是仍然带着明显的北方口音。 此题考查同词根的形容词的用法。distinct意思是“清晰的，明显的，确定无疑的”，如：distinct hand writing清晰的字迹。distinctive意思是“与众不同的，有特色的”，如：She had a distinctive style in writing．她的书法与众不同。distinguished意思是“卓著的，著名的，高贵的”；distinguishing是distinguish的动名词形式，很少用。

78． Ph.D students who haven’t completed their dissertations by the time their fellowships expire face a ______ difficult.
A．corner B．dilemma C．perplexity D．bewilderment
正确答案：B
解析：名词辨析题。选项B dilemma的主要表示处于进退维谷的境地；选项A comer意为“困境，绝路”，难以逃脱的境地：be in a tight comer。选项C Perplexity意为“困惑，茫然，令人费解的状态，复杂状态”；选项D bewilderment意为“困惑，为难，慌张；迷失方向的状况”。

PART V READING COMPREHENSION (25 MIN)Directions: In this
section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.
Biologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a universe which appears to be utterly devoid of humor, we enjoy this supreme luxury. And it is a luxury, for unlike any other bodily process, laughter does not seem to serve a biologically useful purpose. In a divide world, laughter is a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be plagued by ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and ‘subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor Certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the world-wide popularity of Charlie Chaplin’s early films. The little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from. As that great commentator on human affairs, Dr. Samuel Johnson, once remarked, Men have been wise in very different modes; but they have always laughed in the same way. A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from a refined tingle to an earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lop sided view of things. This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into total despair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. They take the wind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver’s Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they can’t agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish. The sense of humor must be singled out as man’s most important quality because it is associated with laughter. And laughter, in turn, is associated with happiness. Courage, determination, initiative these are qualities we share with other forms of life. But the sense of humor is uniquely human. If happiness is one of the great goals of life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key.
82． The most important of all human qualities is ______. A．a sense of humor B．a sense of satire
C．a sense of laughter D．a sense of history
正确答案：A 解析：主旨题。文章一开始就提出人类有别于动物的特征在于人有笑的功能，世界纷争繁杂、人际关系因意识观点差异而对峙，国家制度不一，但人们都能笑。笑基于人类最复杂而又微妙的品质——幽默感。
83． The author mentions about Charlie Chaplin’s early films because ______. A．they can amuse people
B．human beings are different from animals

84． One of the chief functions of irony and satire is ______. A．to show absurdity of actions B．to redress balance
C．to take the wind out of politicians
D．to show too much grimness in the world
正确答案：B
解析：细节归纳题。第三段着重讲了使各种事情重新相等和均衡这一点。人类在痛苦中挣扎，常处于战争的边缘。政治环境令人绝望，在这种处境中，对某些政治事务的讽刺挖苦和漫画可以使各种心理重新平衡，可使失去均衡感的政客低下高傲的头颅；可使我看出许多深邃的事情荒谬可笑。
85． What do we learn from the sentence, it is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish in totalitarian regimes?
A．It can reveal the truth of political events with satire. B．It can arouse people to riot.
C．It shows tragedy and comedy are related. D．It can make people laugh.

解析：细节理解题。这句话的意思是“它可以用讽刺的手法来解释政治事件的真相。”B、C、D三项均不符合题意。
For years, Jorge DelPinal’s job as assistant chief of the Census Bureau’s Population Division was to fit people into neat, distinct racial and ethnic boxes: white,
black, Hispanic, Asian or Native American. As the son of an Anglo mother and a Hispanic father, however, he knew all along that the task was not always possible. The face of America is changing—literally. As President Clinton has said, within 30 or 40 years, when there will be no single race in the majority in the United States, “we had best be ready for it. “ For his part, Clinton is preparing for that time by talking about racial tolerance and the virtues of multiculturalism. Others are debating immigration policy. Almost all discussion focuses on the potential divisiveness inherent in a nation that is no longer a predominantly white country with a mostly European ancestry. But afoot behind the scenes is another trend that, if handled carefully, could bring the country closer together rather than drive it apart. This quiet demographic counter-revolution is a dramatic upsurge in intermarriage. Veteran demographer Barry Edmonston’s study projected that by 2050, 21 percent of the US population will be of mixed racial or ethnic ancestry, up from an estimate of seven percent today. Among third-generation Hispanic and Asian Americans, exogamy—marriage outside one’s ethnic group or tribe—is at least 50 percent, he and others estimate. Exogamy remains much less prevalent among African Americans, but it has increased enormously, from about 1. 5 percent in the 1960s to 8 to 10 percent today. Such a profound demographic shift could take place while no one was watching because, officially, no one was watching. Federal agencies traditionally collected racial data using a formula—one person, one race—similar to the time-honored voting principle. Thus, the Census Bureau could estimate that on census forms no more than two percent of the population would claim to be multiracial. In the absence of a more straightforward count, no one could know for sure what the demographics are. Meanwhile, in the absence of official numbers, with the heightened tension surrounding racial issues, and with the mutual suspicion that exists among competing racial and ethnic interest groups, there’s little agreement on what intermarriage will mean for US society in the future. Some sociologists call Asian-white and Hispanic-Anglo intermarriage simply the latest addition to the melting pot that, since the start of this century, has fused so many Irish, Italian , German and other families of European origin. But despite the rise in black-white marriage, many doubt that African Americans will be included in this mix. Ramona Douglass, President of the Association of MultiEthnic Americans, enthused, “ We’re living proof that people with two different races or ethnic backgrounds can live together in harmony, that(interracial)families actually do function. “ Douglass’s mother is Italian-American, and her father is a multiracial blend of African American and Native American. Of course, many portray intermarriage as gradual genocide that will culminate in the disappearance of their particular group. That was the traditional view of the Jewish community, which throughout history closely guarded its small numbers from loss through assimilation. But the very high rate of Jewish out-marriage since World War II has caused an official rethinking among the progressive elements of American Judaism. These groups still encourage marriage within the faith, but instead of shunning those who do marry non-Jews, they are now courting these intermarried couples.
86． The main topic of the passage is______intermarriage in the US. A．the influence of
B．the different opinions towards C．government’s responsibility of D．the development of
正确答案：D
解析：主旨题。本文主要谈的是近年来异族通婚现象在美国的现状和发展。关于异族通婚对美国社会的影响，作者只是引出了这一话题但并没有具体讨论。本文的主要写作目的是让读者对美国的异族通婚情况有所了解，因此并没有过多涉及社会各界对此问题的观点以及政府应负的责任等，故[D]为答案。 知识模块：阅读
87． What can we learn from the passage?
A．It’s scientific to classify people into different groups according to their races. B．The government didn’t pay enough attention on the issue of demographic shift.
C．The definite population of interethnic American is known.
D．The growing rate of interethnic Americans accelerates in recent years.
正确答案：B
解析：推理题。[A]讲到按种族将公民分类的问题，与文章开头所讲的“人口普查局官员表示按种族划分公民是不可行的”内容不符；[B]、[C]都涉及政府相关部门的工作，根据第五段第一句“Such a profound demographic shift could take placewhile no one was watching because，officially，no one was watching”可以判断，政府对于种族变化问题重视不够，故[B]正确；根据本段最后一句“In the absence of a morestraightforward count，no one could know for sure what the demographics are．”可知，目前并没有种族构成的具体数据，排除[C]；[D]”异族通婚近年来增长速度加快了”在文中并没有提到。 知识模块：阅读
88． What will happen in some future decades?
A．The population of interracial Americans will be three times in 2050 as much as now.
B．There will be no dominant races in America.
C．The divisiveness of the nation is an inevitable problem to confront. D．At least 50 percent of the third-generation African Americans will marry other ethnic groups.
正确答案：B
解析：细节题。本文第四段提到“到2050年，将有21％的美国人来自异族通婚家庭，而今天的比例只有7％。”虽然从比例上看是三倍的关系，但是美国人口总数在今天和2050年也是不同的。因此2050年异族通婚人数并不是现在的三倍，排除[A]。[B]与文中第二段最后一句“Almost all discussion focuses on the
potential divi—siveness inherent in a nation that is no longer a predominantly white country with a mostlyEuropean ancestry．”相符，故入选。[C]对应第三段的“But afoot behind the scenes isanother trend that，if handled carefully，could bring the country closer together rather thandrive it apart．”由此可知，分裂并不是必然的，如果疏导合理，种族多元化不但不会使国家走向分裂，反而会使国家更加团结融合。[D]的内容在文中第四段提到了，但原文说的并不是非洲后裔而是拉美和亚洲后裔。 知识模块：阅读
89． Which of the following can be inferred about intermarriage? A．Intermarriage can be accepted by Jewish to some extent. B．Intermarriage tends to arouse divisiveness of the nation.
C．The amount of intermarriage among African Americans grows slower than that in other ethnic groups.
D．Traditionally speaking, children from interracial families are assigned to mothers’ races.
正确答案：A 解析：推理题。[A]提到Jewish的态度，对应到本文最后一段。文中提到Jewish虽然起初对于异族通婚嗤之以鼻，但现在他们已经不再反对与族外人通婚，并与异族婚姻夫妇保持良好关系，故[A]正确。文中第三段提到异族通婚可以使多种族国家更加团结，而不是走向分裂，故[B]错误；[C]提到的非洲裔美国人通婚问题在原文中的第四段，由原文可知，非洲裔美国人通婚比例虽然低但是增长速度很快，至于与其他种族的比较则并没有提到；[D]的内容在原文中第一段开始部分提到了，但文中只提到过去来自异族通婚家庭的孩子在填各种表格时必须要选一个种族，并没有具体写到底是选择父亲还是母亲的种族，故排除。 知识模块：阅读
90． Which of the following word can best describe the author’s attitude towards intermarriage?
A．Sympathetic. B．Anxious. C．Pessimistic. D．Supportive.
正确答案：D
解析：态度题。根据文章中“But afoot behind the scenes…bring the country closertogether rather than drive it apart．”和“We’re living proof that…can live together in bar—mony，that(interracial)families actually do function．”可知，作者对于异族通婚是表示支持的，同时作者认为异族通婚会对国家产生积极的作用，故[D]”赞成的”正确。[A]”同情的”、[B]”担忧的”和[C]”悲观的”均不符合文意。 知识模块：阅读
American hopes that pressure from the US will force Japan to suddenly dismantle its trade barriers are almost certain to evaporate in disappointment①. The
fact is that Washington faces an obstacle far more formidable than a few power brokers in Tokyo’s government offices. It’s not in line with the centuries-old, deep-ingrained Japanese customs. To move the Japanese government, Washington government must move an entire nation. So far the US has had only limited success despite congressional threats to retaliate. In an April 9 nationwide broadcast, Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone urged the Japanese to buy more imported goods and unveiled a long-awaited three-year plan to ease import restrictions. But this program was far short of what Washington hoped to see. White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan said the Japanese offered “few new or immediate measures.” While the plan did promise fewer shackles on imports of telecommunications gear, medicine and medical equipment, it offered no relief for American forest products—which are among the most contentious trade issues. Nakasone gives every sign of being secure in his desire to reduce a Japanese surplus in trade with the US that hit 36.8 billion dollars in 1984 and could soon top billion. Yet to rely on any Japanese political leader, no matter how popular he is at home, to reverse trade policies is to underestimate the culture and traditions that weigh heavily against a breakthrough②. Big business and dozens of anonymous bureaucrats have as much power as Japan’s top elected leaders. “The whole concept that we can turn this around right now is obviously ridiculous,” says an American trader who has lived and worked here since 1952. “The vested interests are being shaken and slowly moved, but at a pace too slow for the eye to follow.” That view is echoed by a US diplomat closely involved in the efforts to open the Japanese market to American goods, Washington’s main solution to the ballooning trade ambulance. “Japan is a relationship society rather than a transactional one,” he says. “You cannot alter that kind of a system with a television
speech or a few general proposals, no matter how well-intended they are.” Beyond specific tariffs or other official barriers to imports, experts here say that the US faces these obstacles. Nearly total domination of the Japanese market by a few dozen giant conglomerates that strongly op pose even token competition—be it from abroad or emerging domestic firms. An elite, thickly layered bureaucracy that historically has drafted laws and regulations as well as enforced them, and both of these powers would be threatened by trade reforms. A longtime relationship between business and government that critics say fosters collusion and hinders foreign entry into domestic markets③.
91． Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A．Trade War between Japan and the US
B．It’s time to Remove Japanese Trade Barrier
C．The US Desires to Reduce a Japanese Surplus in Trade D．Why Japan Won’t Submit to US Trade Demands
正确答案：D
解析：主旨题。文章第一段讲述美同的希望很难实现。第二段专注于分析日本贸易壁垒产生的原因：文化传统。第三段给出具体的障碍，最后重申日本的决
心。所以文章主要阐述日本不向美国压力低头的原因，故选D 。
92． The word “shackles” in the last sentence of the first paragraph most probably means ______.
A．restrictions B．emphases C．considerations D．weights
正确答案：A 解析：词义理解题。本段第六句话中说日本首相敦促日本人多购买进口产品，并公布了一个期待已久的三年计划，来缓解对进口的限制。下面一句说这远未达到美国的期望。根据第一段最后一句话：尽管这个计划确实承诺减少电讯产品、医疗设备方面的限制，但是并没有放宽对美森林产品的进口限制。从while引导的让步转折从句关系来看，shackles应该跟后面的relief意思相反，而和第六句的restriction同义，所以选择A 。其他选项不合题意。
93． It can be inferred from the text, the Japanese Prime Minister’s plan to relieve import restrictions would ______.
A．offer no relief for all of the American products in the near future B．probably fall far short of the US businessmen’s expectation
C．allow American goods to enter the Japanese trade markets quickly D．succeed considerably in breaking down the Japanese trade barriers
正确答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第七句话“But this program was far short of what Washington hoped to see”和第八句话“it offered no relief for American forest products’’，以及第二段第四句中一位美国商人的话”The whole concept that we can turn this around right now is obviously ridiculous”可以看出日本首相试图减轻进口限制的努力
94． According to the text, the main factor working against any immediate entry into Japanese market is ______.
A．the rapid development of the Japanese economy B．tradition, culture, and a deeply rooted bureaucracy C．the Japanese determination to keep up its surplus
D．the Japanese political intentions and their trade policies
正确答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段第三句话：这与日本几百年来根深蒂固的传统相违背，第二段第二句话：扭转这种贸易政策也就是低估了阻碍贸易取得突破的传统和文化的力量，第二段第三句话：一些商人和不具名的官僚主义者和当选的高层一样具有影响力。我们可以推知阻止美国产品进入日本的主要原因是日本的传统和文化，也有官僚作风，选B 。干扰项D 也是原因，但不是根本原
因，只是选项[刚产生的一个结果。
95． Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the trade obstacles in the text?
A．Resistance from a large number of big enterprises against foreign competition.
B．Hindrance of business and government to imported goods that threaten domestic markets.
C．Firm support for import restrictions among Japanese workers, one of the powerful political forces.

正确答案：C
解析：事实细节题。在第三段可以看出，选项A 、B 和D 都提到了，由第二句话“...giant conglomerates strongly oppose even token competition”，日本市场被大联合企业财团把持，他们反对竞争；第三句话“An elite，bureaucracy has drafted laws and regulations...and these powers would be threatened by trade reforms”，精英政治和官僚体系制定法规反对贸易，
Let me speak first to parents. You are the ones who plant, or fail to plant, the seeds of character in your children. Try from the beginning to put into your children’s minds the capacity to feel shame by letting them know that, just as there are actions for which they can win praise, so there are others — lying, cheating, stealing — that are unacceptable and for which they will be punished. As parents, you are not alone in your efforts to form character. Organizations such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts teach accountability and strengthen it with pressure of equals. Churches are also strong helpers. I remember clearly an event from my childhood. In our church’s Sunday-school playroom was a set of little lead cowboys and Indians. One day, I took one of them home, and that night my brother saw me
playing with it. “I know where you got that,” he said. “You stole it from the church.” Stole it! From the church! Those words hit me like a thunderbolt. The anger of God, my mother’s anger, the scorn of the, world rose up like a terrifying wave in my mind. I ran a mile and a half to return the figure and all the way back home, where my mother put me to bed with a couple of beats for “cattin “ around”(到处乱跑着寻乐). I never told her why I had left the house; I was too ashamed. Shame led straight to accountability, and I never again took any- thing that Wasn’t mine. What about teachers? To them I’d say: your classroom is a small society. Don’t excuse bad behavior, Get students to impose standards upon one another, and work to persuade the school administration to become firmer about discipline. I’ve heard of high schools where the first time a student is caught with drugs, he’s warned; the second time, he may be kept from school temporarily; the third, possibly driven away. To the principals of such schools 1 would say, “Why not suspend students the first time?”
And l would quote a religious leader’s words: “Punish severely the first offender, for in him lies the greatest hope of reform.” Finally, a wise teacher might tell a high-school class: “If you choose to play with drugs, the police may never catch you. But your body is responsible to the laws of chemistry and biology.” What about law enforcement? If I could say just one thing to the designers of that system, it would be: restore fair, swift, sure punishment as one of the’ key supporters of accountability. There is nothing Unreasonable about just punishment, but you’d never know it from watching our law carried out today. Criminals don’t fear the law, because in most cases its punishment is so slow and weakened that any preventing effect is lost.
96． Which of the following is NOT true according to the author? A．Parents are very important in helping form the children’s character. B．One can have more than one way to shape character. C．Punishment should be carried out quickly.
D．The author ran a mile and a half to avoid the shower of scoldings.
正确答案：D

97． Why did the author’s mother beat him?
A．Because she saw him playing with the lead cowboy. B．Because his brother informed his mother of his stealing. C．Because he had been chasing his neighbor’s cats.
D．Because he left the house without having told his mother.
正确答案：D
解析：根据第四段第五句“…where my mother put me to bed with a couple of beats for“cattin’ around…””，由此可知他妈妈打他是因为他未经妈妈同意到处乱跑，因此答案为D 。
98． The author mentions the incident that he once stole something to ______. A．show how parents should deal with their children’s fault
B．illustrate the importance of instilling children with the sense of shame C．make known his past
D．warn parents to be cautious when they punish their children
正确答案：B 解析：例子在文章中是用来支持作者观点或是引出观点的，因此在例子的前后几句一般就是作者的观点。由此我们可以找到这个例子所在的地方，然后向前推。文章第一段第三句是”Try from the beginning to put into your children’s minds the capacity to feel shame by letting them know that...”，这就是作者的观点，由此
可知答案为D 。
99． What does the author mean when he says “Your booty is responsible to the laws of chemistry and biology”?
A．You will be punished by lowering your chemistry and biology scores.
B．The police are employing the laws of chemistry and biology when punishing you.
C．Your physical body will suffer.
D．You have to be responsible for your own body.
正确答案：C

100． The author’s attitude towards crime is that.
A．punishment must be severe in order to prevent crime B．the offenders must be warned first of all
C．those playing with drugs must be told that they might be caught by the police D．an excuse should not be found for the youngsters’ bad behavior
正确答案：A
解析：根据最后一段最后一句“罪犯并不害怕法律，是因为在通常情况下惩罚是如此慢和轻以至于没有任何阻止作用”，由此可推测作者的观点是：惩治犯罪必须从快从严，才能有效预防犯罪，因此答案为A 。
101． What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Punish the students who are caught with drugs severely. B．Children should be educated not to steal things. C．Law enforcement is the most effective way.
D．Parents, teachers and law enforcement should all play a part.
正确答案：D
解析：综观全文，作者认为家长(第一至第四段)、教师(第五至第七段)，还有法律(第八段)在预防制止犯罪中都应起作用，因此答案为D 而A 和B 只是涉及到其中一方面而已， C 文中并未提到。
PART VI WRITING (45 MIN)
SECTION A COMPOSITION (35 MIN)
102． Starting from 99, more and more students have been enrolled to study in the state main stream universities and colleges. One thing deserving attention is what can be done to fit the students in the fast developing world. Write on
ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:
SPECIALIZED EDUCATION OR GENERAL EDUCATION? You are to write in three parts. In the first part, state your point of view. In the second part, give one or two reasons to support your point of view. In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.
正确答案： SPECIALIZED EDUCATION OR GENERAL EDUCATION With the development of our economy and higher education, more students can have access to colleges and universities. This is a sign of social development. I think that getting a general education is very important, but I also think it is important to be specialized to a degree in order to be successful. First of all, people who are well-rounded tend to know about many subjects. This Will help them to understand not only where things stand right now, but also the reasons why they are the way they are. If you only study one subject in university, chances and your knowledge Will be limited, which will make it difficult for you to understand things in a complex situation. On the other hand, if you know about many subjects on top of your specialized knowledge, then you will be able to think about more possibilities when it comes to thinking about these problems. As you can see, a more informed decision is made, when you are aided by a greater knowledge base. As important as it is to have a general education, however, one must also specialize. In fact, many university students today finish their degrees with no idea about what they are prepared for. This is because their knowledge is too general, and they have not focused enough upon any subject. Thus, one’s education must be both general and specialized, in order to function best in today’s real world. So from what has been discussed, one can reach only this conclusion: in order to solve problems and prepare for life, it is only logical to balance one self in the pursuit of general and specialized knowledge.
