Passage 1

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
It happened in the late fall of 1939 when, after a Nazi submarine had penetrated
the British sea defense around the Firth of Forth and damaged a British cruiser
, Reston and a colleague contrived to get the news past British censorship. They
cabled a series of seemingly harmless sentences to The Time’s editors in New Yo
rk, having first sent a message instructing the editors to regard only the last
word of each sentence. Thus they were able to convey enough words to spell out t
he story. The fact that the news or the submarine attack was printed In New York
before it had appeared in the British press sparked a big controversy that led
to an investigation by Scotland Yard and British Military Intelligence. But it t
ook the investigators eight weeks to decipher. The Times’s reporters’ code, an e
mbarrassingly slow bit of detective work, and when it was finally solved the inc
ident had died and little was done about it. The Time’s editors in New York, tho
ugh they had given the story very prominent play, later expressed dismay that th
e reporters had risked so much for so little; and the incident left Reston deepl
y distressed. It was so out of character for him to have become involved in such
a thing. The tactics were questionable and, though the United States was not ye
t in the war, Britain was already established as America’s close ally and breaki
ng British censorship seemed both an irresponsible and unpatriotic thing to do.

21. The episode recounted in the passage took place____.
A) just prior to the outbreak of the Second World War
B) before Britain entered the Second World War
C) before the United States entered the Second World War
D) While the United States was in the Second World War 

22. The plan for evading British censorship of the submarine story was th
ought up by____.
A) two reporters B) one reporter
C) The Times’s editors and one reporter D) The Times’s editors and two re
porters 

23. It was clear that British censorship rules had been broken because th
e story was____.
A) first published in New YorkB) published nowhere but in The Times
C) uncomplimentary to the BritishD) much fuller in its Times version than e
lsewhere 

24. According to the author, the British did little about the story’s pub
lication mainly because____.
A) everyone responsible had apologized for what had happened
B) it took the authorities too long to figure out how the censors had been outwitted 
C) Scotland Yard and British Military Intelligence disagreed about who w
as at fault 
D) they were afraid to admit that the censors had been so easily fooled


25. The passage indicates that eventually everyone involved came to regar
d the publication of the story in The Times as a____.
A) regrettable error B) cheap journalistic trick
C) brilliant journalistic maneuver D) proper exercise of the freedom of t
he press 



Passage 2


Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: 
I came across an old country guide the other day .It listed all the tradesmen in
each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great
variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Vict
orian countryside.
Nowadays a superficial traveler in rural England might conclude that the only vi
llage tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabit
ants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false
impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction of village commerce, but it
s vigour is still remarkable.
Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the com
petition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go ther
e and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up(
anonymously) at a supermarket. And the proprietor knows well that personal servi
ce has a substantial cash value.
His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anyth
ing at any time .His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village stre
et in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner who sen
t her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing , the more
affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their do
orsteps within an hour. They have only to knit at a fancy for some commodity out
side the usual stock and the grocer, a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it fr
om them.
The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it sa
tisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest i
ndividualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the b
ig battalions of industry or commerce.
Most of the village shopkeepers I know, at any rate, are decidedly individualist
in their ways. For example, our shoemaker is a formidable figure: a thickset,
irritable man whom children treat with marked respect , knowing that an illju
dged word can provoke an angry eruption at any time. He stares with smouldering
contempt at the pairs of cheap, massproduced shoes taken to him for repair: ha
s it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he , a craftsman, should have to
waste his skills upon such trash? But we all know he will in fact do excellent w
ork upon them . And he makes beautiful shoes for those who can afford such luxur
y.
26. The writer considered the old country guide interesting because he fo
und in it____.
A) the names of so many of the shops in the village around
B) the many people selling to, and doing jobs for, residents in local vil
lages at the time it appeared 
C) the variety of shops and services available in Victorian days in Britain
D) information about all the jobs there were in his own and surrounding v
illages at the time it appeared 
27. The local grocer’s shop is expanding even though____.
A) women spend a lot of their time there just gossiping
B) town shops are larger and rather cheaper
C) people like to shop where they are less well-known
D) people get personal service in his shop 
28. The writer implies that one disadvantage of town shops is that____.
A) their prices are higher
B) people cannot telephone them
C) their staff may take less trouble to satisfy customers
D) one has to queue up in them 
29. The writer appreciates the village shop because____.
A) he welcomes competition with organized business
B) he likes the ides that a humble person can be successful
C) this is a case of individual success in a world of increasing
D) he welcomes an example of private enterprise surviving in an age of gi
ant companies 
30. What is the village shoemaker’s reaction to mass-produced shoes?
A) He considers they are not worth the effort of mending properly.
B) He is angry with the customers for bringing in such rubbish.
C) He despises their quality.
D) He feels exasperated because people waste their money on inferior shoes.

Passage 3


Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
During the early years of this century, wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of
Western Canada. When the crops were good, the economy was good; when the crops f
ailed, there was depression. People on city streets watched the yields and the p
rice of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they were growers. The marketing
of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation. 
War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. Fo
r years, farmers mistrusted speculative grain selling as carried on through the
Winnipeg Grain Exchange.Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, but farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that they so
ld their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due, only to see p
rices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions, producer groups
asked for firmer controls, but governments had no wish to become involved, at l
east not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild. 
Anxious to check inflation and rising living costs, the federal government appoi
nted a board of grain supervisors to handle deliveries from the crops of l9l7 an
d l9l8. Grain Exchange trading was suspended, and farmers sold at prices fixed b
y the board. To handle the crop of 1919, the government appointed the first Cana
dian Wheat Board, with full authority to buy, sell, and set prices.

31. The author uses the term “lifeblood" (line 1) to indicate that wheat
was____.
A) difficult to produce in large quantities B) susceptible to many parasi
tes
C) essential to the health of the country D) expensive to gather and tran
sport 
32. According to the passage, most farmers’ debts had to be paid____.
A) when the autumn harvest had just been completed 
B) because wheat prices were high
C) as soon as the Winnipeg Grain Exchange demanded payment
D) when crop failure caused depression 
　
33. According to the passage, wheat prices became unmanageable because of
conditions caused by____.
A) farmers B) supervisors C) weather D) war 

34. In line 11, the word “check” could best be replaced by which of the following?
A) control B) investigate C) finance D) reinforce 
　
35. According to the passage, a preliminary step in the creation of the Canadian Wheat Board was the appointment of____.
A) the Winnipeg Grain Exchange B) a board of supervisors
C) several producer groups D) a new government 

Passage 4


Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970’s was the enthusiasm
for refurbishing old buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomen
on. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in
adaptive rehabilitation. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San
Francisco, proved their financial viability in the 1960’s, but it was in the 19
70’s, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciat
ion, as well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a majo
r factor on the urban scene.
One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of
Boston’s eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 18
24. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction o
f a new city hall immediately adjacent, it has returned to life with the intelli
gent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin T
hompson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional
offices, and simply walking.
Butler Square, in Minneapolis, exemplifies major changes in its complex of offic
es, commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed
in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the
building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding
large skylights.
San Antonio, Texas, offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating
urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers, San Antonion’s leaders reha
bilitated existing structures,while simultaneously cl
eaning up the San Antonio River,which meanders through the business district.
36. What is main idea of the passage?
A) During the 1970’s, old building in many cities were recycled for modern use.

B) Recent interest in ecology issues has led to the cleaning up of many rivers.

C) The San Antonio example shows that bulldozers are not the way to fight
urban decay. 
D) Strong government support has made adaptive rehabilitation a reality in Bosto
n. 
37. What is the space at Quincy Market now used for?
A) Boston’s new city hall.B) Sports and recreational facilities.
C) Commercial and industrial warehouses.D) Restaurants, offices, and stores
. 
38. According to the passage, Benjamin Thompson was the designer for a pr
oject in_________________________________.
A) San Francisco B) Boston C) Minneapolis D) San Antoni
o 
39. When was the Butler Square building originally built? 
A) In the eighteenth century. B) In the early nineteenth century.
C) In the late nineteenth century. D) In the early twentieth century.
40. What is the author’s opinion of the San Antonio project?
A) It is clearly the best of the projects discussed.
B) It is a good project that could be copied in other cities.
C) The extensive use of bulldozers made the project unnecessarily costly.

e buildings. 

Part Ⅳ Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)

Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or
incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or
complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). 

George Washington Carver showed that plant life was more than just food for anim
als and humans. Carver’s first step was to analyze plant parts to find out what
they were made of. He then combined these simpler isolated substances with other
substances to create new products. 
The branch of chemistry that studies and finds ways to use raw materials from fa
rm products to make industrial products is called chemurgy. Carver was one of th
e first and greatest chemurgists of all time. Today the science of chemurgy is b
etter known as the science of synthetics. Each day people depend on and use synt
hetic materials made from raw materials. All his life Carver battled against the
disposal of waste materials, and warned of the growing need to develop substitu
tes for the natural substances being used up by humans. 
Carver never cared about getting credit for the new products he created. He neve
r tried to patent his discoveries or get wealthy from them. He turned down many
offers to leave Tuskegee Institute to become a rich scientist in private industr
y. Thomas Edison, inventor of the electric light, offered him a laboratory in De
troit to carry out food research. When the United States government made him a c
ollaborator in the Mycology and Plant Disease Survey of the Department of Agricu
lture, he accepted the position with the understanding that he wouldn’t have to
leave Tuskegee. An authority on plant diseases-especially of the fungus variety-
Carver sent hundreds of specimens to the United States Department of Agriculture
. At the peak of his career, Carver’s fame and influence were known on every con
tinent.

Part Ⅱ
Passage One短文大意
本文叙述的是1939晚秋，纳粹的潜水艇侵入到英国某一个海湾附近的一海防并重创了英国一
艘巡洋舰。Reston和他的同事千方百计想把这则消息通过新闻检查发送出去。他给纽约时报
编辑拍去了一系列看起来似乎无害的句子，这些句子足够凑成一个故事。这则消息结果在纽
约反比在伦敦发布还早，这就引起一阵哗然。结果导致英国军方情报处展开调查。但是侦探
们花了八个月的时间才破译出记者的密码。他们虽然弄清了事情的真相，但早已时过境迁，
也没有办法采取什么行动了。事后两位记者感到十分沮丧，因为他们此举不仅有破坏英国新
闻检查制度之嫌，而且被认为是不爱国的行为。
21．答案C。
【参考译文】这一情节的详细描述发生在什么时候。
【试题分析】本题为一般理解。需要根据关键词语进行推理。
【详细解答】本题答案很容易从上下文中找到，因为短文最后一句话叙述得很明显：The t
actics were questionable and, though the United States was not in the war, Brita
in was already established as America’s close ally……(他们使用的方法是否恰当
尚不无疑问,而且美国当时还没加入战争,但英国已经与美国建立了亲密的同盟关系……)因
此C为正确答案。
22．答案A。
【参考译文】逃避潜艇攻击事件新闻检查的计划是由谁想出来的。
【试题分析】本题为一般理解题。
【详细解答】这一节情描述的开头就明确指出了这一计划的出台是由Reston和他的同事想出
来的，毫无疑问是两个人，故只有A为正确答案。
23．答案A。
【参考译文】很明显，英国新闻检查制度被打破是因为____。
【试题分析】本题为一般理解题。
【详细解答】短文中：The fact that the news or the submarine attack was printed i
n New York before it had appeared in the British press sparked a big controvers
y…(结果这则潜艇攻击的消息在纽约反比在英国较早发布，这个事实引起了一阵骚乱…
)从这句话中可以清楚地判明A为正确答案。
24．答案B。
【参考译文】按照作者的观点，英国对于这则消息的发布没有做什么工作，主要因为____。
【试题分析】本题是考查对作者意图的理解。
【详细解答】这一答案必须从上下文的字行里去发现。如：But it took the investigatio
n eight weeks to decipher.(破译密码)…and when it was finally solved the incide
nt had died and little was done about it.(可是这些侦探花了八个星期才解开密码…
最后还是解决了这一事件，但是已事过境迁，也就没有采取行动了。)故B为正确答案。〖ZK
)〗
25．答案A。
【参考译文】这篇文章说明牵涉此事件的有关人员最终都把这则时报上发布的消息看成是____。
【试题分析】本题考查对关键词语和上下文的理解。
【详细解答】短文最后部分间接地回答了这一问题。如：…and the incident left Reston
deeply distressed. It was so out of character for him to have become involved
in such a thing. (结果这件事使Reston十分沮丧，牵涉进这样的事件真是不智之举。)由
此可知，A为正确答案。
Passage Two短文大意

作者偶而发现了一本陈旧的乡下导游手册，从这本书中悟出了一系列的道理，不论在遥远、
偏避的乡村小店，还是在大都市豪华的超级商场，只要服务到家，物美价廉，生意就会兴旺
发达，反之就会萧条，逐渐走下坡路。
26．答案B。
【参考译文】作者认为这本陈旧的乡下导游手册有意思是因为他发现____。
【试题分析】考查学生对上下文的理解能力。
【详细解答】作者认为这本陈旧的乡下导游手册有意思是因为他发现：这本书出现的那个时
期，有许多商人向当地村民卖东西，给村里人做工及向来访者兜售古玩。此题答案可在短文
的第二段中找到：Nowadays a superficial traveler in rural England might conclud
e that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen
food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitor.（当今，在英格兰乡下即使
一个肤浅的旅游者也会得出结论：如今生意很兴隆的乡村商人们要么向村民们兜售冷冻食品
，要么向来访者兜售古玩。）作者进一步得出结论：Nevertheless, this would really be
a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction of village commerc
e, but its vigour is still remarkable.(然而，这只是一种假象，有一种普遍看法，虽
然这种乡村贸易，规模减小了，但仍很兴旺。)可想而知，在这本导游手册出现的那个时期
，商业该是多么兴旺！A)村子周围许多商店的名字。文章中并没提到许多商店的名字，而且
作者对此也不感兴趣。C)在英国维多利亚时期的各种商店和服务。作者所感兴趣的是现在的
当地商店的各种服务，而不是维多利亚时期的。D)这本书出现时期，有关他本村和周围村子
里的劳务信息。以上三项选择都不能正确回答本题主旨，故均不能入选。
27．答案B。
【参考译文】当地的杂货店尽管有____，但实际上在扩大。
【试题分析】考学生的对关键词的理解能力，只要有一定的词汇量，就不难从字里行间找到
答案。
【详细解答】B）项选择可在文章的第三段开头找到：Our local grocer’s shop, for ex
ample, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in th
e nearest town. （例如，我们这里的杂货店尽管有来自附近城镇里超级商店的竞争，但实
际上正在扩大。）这种竞争主要指超级商场的优势，商店大，货物便宜。A）妇女们花大量
时间在那里聊天。C）人们喜欢不被人们注意的地方买东西。D）人们可以在他的店里得到个
人服务。
28．答案C。
【参考译文】作者暗示城镇商店的不足之处是____。
【试题分析】本题考查一般的阅读能力,需从字行里找答案。
【详细解答】根据题意，作者暗示城镇商店不足之处是：C）其商店雇员没下功夫来满足顾
客的需要。相反，乡村商店对顾客有求必应，服务到家，其店员不辞劳苦，牺牲中午吃饭时
间送货上门，这种情况和城市超级商店的服务形成鲜明对照，故选C）比较恰当。A）他们的
价格较高。事实上，他们的价格不是较高，而是较低。故不能入选。B）人们不能和他们通
话。事实上并非如此。大商店设施齐全，价格便宜，只是服务赶不上乡村商店而已；故不符
合本题要求。D）人们必须在那里排长队；这也不是主要理由，原因是没有良好的服务。〖Z
K)〗
29．答案B。
【参考译文】作者欣赏乡村商店的原因是____。
【试题分析】本题考查学生对整篇文章的理解能力。
【详细解答】作者欣赏乡村商店的原因是：B）他欣赏那种地位低下的人获得成功的想法。
选择此项要从整篇课文的主题入手。文章中作者赞成什么，欣赏什么是显而易见的。他之所
以对这本导游手册感兴趣，就是因为他发现农村中普通商店，普通老百姓那种孜孜不倦的“
敬业”精神和成功范例。A）他欢迎同有组织的商店进行竞争。C）这是一个在发展的世界里
个人成功的例子。D）他欣赏这是一个从大公司时代生存下来的私人企业样板。A），C）和D
）都不能反映作者欣赏农村商店的理由，故不能入选。
30．答案C。
【参考译文】乡村鞋匠对大批生产的鞋子的反应是什么？
【试题分析】本题考查学生对某一段文字的全面理解能力。
【详细解答】C）项回答了这个问题。他的反应是：瞧不起它们的质量。鞋匠的这种反应表
现在文章的最后一段：He stares with smouldering contempt at the pairs of cheap, m
ass-produced shoes taken to him for repair: has it come to this, he seems to be
saying, that he, a craftsman, should have to waste his skills upon such trash ?
(他盯着那双拿到他跟前、批量生产、价格便宜的鞋子，眼中流露出掩饰不住的轻蔑。他似
乎在说，就这么一双破烂货还需要像他这样的手艺人劳神费力去修补吗？由此可以看出他是
多么地瞧不起这种鞋子。A)他认为这种鞋不值得好好修补。虽然他瞧不起其质量，但他还是
认认真真地进行修补。文章的最后一句就说明了这个问题。B)他对拿这种质量很差的鞋子让
他修补的顾客感到恼火。事实上是，他虽然瞧不起这种质量很差的鞋子，但对工作还是非常
认真负责的，对顾客并没有发火或有不礼貌之举。D）他感到恼火是因为顾客们在这些质量
很差的鞋子上花费了钱财。鞋匠做鞋和补鞋，其目的之一是为了生计，为了赚钱，没有必要
为顾客在质量差的鞋子上差花钱而生气，所以无论从语言文字上或逻辑上，他没有、也没必
要为此生气。

Passage Three短文大意

本世纪初，小麦的收成好坏，价格的高低直接影响着加拿大的经济和政治社会。成了
加拿大西部人的“生命线”，由于战争的原因，多年来农民们错误地相信了通过Winnipeg粮
食交易所执行的粮食投机买卖。结果秋天时小麦价格一般很低，但农民们又等不到市场价格
有好转时才卖。他们不得不在收获后就马上卖掉小麦以付农业税。结果是农民们吃了亏，投
机商们赚了大钱。为了控制通货膨胀和过高的生活消费，联邦政府成立了一个粮食监督委员
会对市场和粮食价格进行调控。
31．答案C。
【参考译文】作者之所以使用”lifeblood”这个词表明____。
【试题分析】本题考查学生根据上下文猜测词义的能力。
【详细解答】作者之所以使用”lifeblood”这个词表明小麦对这个国家的经济及社会的重
要性。他把一个国家比做一个有血有肉的人。一个人如果没有了维持生命的血液，这个人就
要死亡。同样，一个国家如果经济上不去，经济萧条，社会就不稳定，这个国家就会灭亡。
正如作者所说：When the crops were good, the economy was good; when the crops fai
ld, there was depression.(收成好，经济就好，收成不好，就会出现经济萧条。)由此可

正确答案。
33．答案D。
【参考译文】根据短文意思，小麦价格无法控制，其原因是____。
【试题分析】本题考查学生对上下文的理解能力。需要根据关键词语进行推理。
【详细解答】A)农民们。不合题意，因为农民们出售小麦是为了交税款，不得不在价格很低
时卖掉。B)监督管理人员，也不符合实际。他们对粮食价格和交易进行监督。他们是帮助政
府对社会和价格进行调控，以便使价格稳定下来。应排除。C)天气。全文没有涉及因为天气
原因欠收而造成小麦价格无法控制。故为错误答案。C)战争，这在文章的第二段开头部分表
述得非常清楚。只有D为正确答案。
34．答案A。
【参考译文】在第11行中，单词 “check”可以由哪一个词所代替？
【试题分析】考查学生对上下文中词义的理解能力。
【详细解答】在回答这一问题时，应该首先对四个选择词进行分析。A)控制；B)调查；C)财
政；C)加强。根据题意，很明显应该选A。再从上下文意思上看，更应该选A) 文中提到to check inflation and rising living cost,这里所用动词check 就相当于control。故A为正确答案

Passage Four
短文大意
本文主要介绍了从70年代开始的美国旧建筑翻新的热潮及其具体表现。最显著的旧建筑物翻
新的例子是对波士顿18世纪的Fanellit Hall和Quincy Marbet的修复和改造。而位于Minnea
polis的Butler Square的改造，则是将单一用途建筑物变为多用途建筑物的例子。最后，位
于Texas的San Antonio的改造则给其他许多城市的改造提供了一个样板，表现了对环境保护
的重视。
36. 答案A。
【参考译文】此文的主要内容是什么？
【试题分析】此题考查学生对文章内容的整体把握。
【详细解答】A）项为本题的答案，因为文章的第一段有明确交待：The most interesting
architectural phenomenon of the 1970’s was the enthusiasm for refurbishing（整
修）old buildings.这个句子是第一段的主题句，也是全篇文章的论点。文章的第二段、三
段、四段为第一段提供了论据和例证，都是为这个论点服务的。B）项所反映的只是一个局
部问题，是城市整修的一个实例，不足以代表整体，所以不能成为中心思想。C）项也是一
个实例，推土机在这里的含义是市政建设，光靠建设，不搞旧物利用，不进行整修改造，城
市的衰败现象是不能克服的，故C）项也不是主题思想，不能入选。D）项反映的情况也是局
部，即波士顿的情况，全国许多城市的一员，是整修建筑、疏通河道的又一例子，同样不能
代表中心思想，不能入选。 
37. 答案D。
【参考译文】Quincy Marbet空地现在作为何用？
【试题分析】此题考查学生掌握文章某些细节的能力。
【详细解答】第二段的最后一句回答了这个问题：He has provided a marvelous setting
for dining, shopping, professional offices, and simply walking.（他为餐饮、购物
、专业办公和休闲提供了极好的场所。）dining指restaurant; shopping指商店；simply w
alking指recreation.故D）为正确答案。
38. 答案B。 【参考译文】根据短文，Benjamin Thompson是哪座城市某项工程的设计者？
【试题分析】此题考查学生认识某些事实的能力。
【详细解答】答案在文中第二段，文章指出：……it has returned to life with the int
elligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjam
in Thompson.（这一地区的有些很不错的旧式建筑由于有了本杰明·汤普森的领导与设计又
重新恢复了生机。）it指this section，在这个地区有两座建筑物（Faneuil Hall and Qui
ncy Market）要整修，这是波士顿十八世纪的建筑，毫无疑问，本杰明所领导和设计的这项
工程发生在波士顿，而不是其它地方。
39. 答案D。
【参考译文】Butler Square大楼始建于什么时候？
【试题分析】此题考查学生辩认某些细节的能力。
【详细解答】答案D。因为文章的第三段告诉读者：Butler Square, in Minneapolis, exem
pl
ifies major changes in its complex of offices, in its complex of offices, commer
cial space, and public amenities(舒适的环境)carved out(雕刻)of a massive pile de
signed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse.（Butler广场就是一个例子，它的综合办公室

并经过精雕细刻而成的，现在变成了五金仓库。）
40. 答案B。

【试题分析】此题考查学生根据事实进行推断的能力。
【详细解答】A）很清楚它是所谈到的最好的一项工程。B）是一项其它城市可以仿效的好项
目。C）大量的推土机给这项工程造成了不必要的浪费。D）改造河流工作比改造建筑物工作
更重要。作者对San Antonio 工程的意见反映在文章的最后一段：San Antonio, Texas, of
fers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay.(得克萨斯
的San Antonio 为其它一些与衰退作斗争的城市提供了可供借鉴的例证。)若选A)，文章中
并没有说它是所谈到的最好的工程；C），文章中也没有说它们给工程造成不必要的损失。
哪项工作重要，哪项工作不重要，作者没有对它们进行比较。

Part Ⅲ

41．答案B。
【参考译文】正当联谊会已在为俱乐部下一季度计划进行讨论时，有人提出了一些有用的建
议。
【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题，应注意它们在上下文中的意义和区别。
【详细解答】discuss意思是“讨论” (talk about something with somebody from sever
al points of view, with varying opinions offered constructively, usually amica
bly, so as to settle an issue)含有对各种意见都加以考虑的意思。其余三个词argue（
争辨，争论），quarrel（争吵）和dispute（辨论，争吵）都含有in defence of one’s o
wn opinions and opposition to those of others（维护自己的意见反对别人的意见），
因此就很难提出useful ideas了。故B为正确答案。
42．答案B。
【参考译文】既然现在已不能改变我的主意，那就由我来实施这项计划吧。
【试题分析】本题为近义词辨析题。这几个词若用于此句，虽无语法上的正误关系，但在逻
辑上有比较大的区别。
【详细解答】A) oblige常和be obliged to连用，后接动词不定式，而不是-ing形式的分词
。当be obliged to后接名词或-ing分词时，表示“感激…”。因此不能选A项。B) committ
ed, to be committed意思是“把…交托给”，“提交”。 D) engage(in)使从事于；C) re
solve决心，决定。根据题意，只有to be committed才符合本题的要求，故为正确答案。〖
ZK)〗
43．答案A。
【参考译文】大多数优秀作家都能利用一切手段使自己作品易懂。
【试题分析】本题为一般词汇的理解与搭配题。
【详细解答】A) disposal处理，处置；B) request要求；C) will意愿；D) convenience方
便。根据题意，应选A。
44．答案A。
【参考译文】我们没有时间阅读整个小说，因此老师就给我们准备了一个大纲。
【试题分析】本题为形近词辨析题。
【词义辨析】synopsis意思是“大纲”，如教学大纲，小说电影等的主要情节。synthesis
合成；symposium 诸家论文集，研讨会等。symmetry 对称。B、C和D都不符合本题题义。A
为正确答案。
45．答案D。
【参考译文】她丈夫把她的生日给忘了，她感到很失望。
【试题分析】本题为形近词辨析题。
【详细解答】deceive 是“欺骗”的意思。这里，她丈夫忘记了她的生日并非故意，谈不上
是“欺骗”。至于desert （遗弃）和desperate （绝望）则更不能成立，因为她不会因为
丈夫忘记了一次生日而有“遗弃”和“绝望”的感觉；在很大程度上只是感到有些失望罢了
。故D为该题正确答案。
46．答案A。
【参考译文】除了自己的孩子以外，他还收养三个孤儿，所以他现在要养活九个孩子。
【试题分析】本题为同义词辩异题。
【详细解答】besides(=in addition to)“除了……还有”；except “除……以外”（not
including ）。它们之间的区别在于，一个是要“加”，一个是要“减”。因此besides h
is own children 意思是“除了他自己的孩子以外还有（收养的孤儿）”。而except his o
wn children:除了他自己的孩子（即：不把自己的孩子算在内）的意思。beside 意思是“
在……旁边，在……附近”；它和besides 是形近词，意思完全不同。instead of (=in pl
ace of ) 意思是“代替”，和以上三个词没有意义上的联系。故A为正确答案。
47．答案C。
【参考译文】他在用各种滑石料铺一条花园小路。
【试题分析】该题考查对近义词的辨析能力。
【详细解答】path 是“窄路，小路”的意思，侧重人或动物由于经常或习惯地行走而形成
的路，或者是为了一个特定的目的而特地筑成的路。本题中的“路”是人为地、为了某一特
定目的而筑成的路；故C为本题最佳选择。way的含义比较笼统，一般指为了到达指定的地点
而必须经过的地方。 track是指车辆、行人或动物踏成的路，而path 则是用石块或卵石筑
成的路。alley可以指公园里的‘小径”（path in a garden），但不是该词的主要意思，
而且不如 path常用。
48．答案A。
【参考译文】把海水转换成饮用水是个复杂的问题。
【试题分析】本题为形近词（前缀con-结构）的辨析题。
【详细解答】conversion 转变；conjecture 猜测；concession 让步；contraction 缩短
，如果有一定的词汇量，就不难找出答案，故A为正确答案。
49．答案A。
【参考译文】他们想知道对这些条款是否达成了协议。
【试题分析】本题为同义词搭配辨析题。
【详细解答】agree on 赞同。表示经双方协商而同意的事情，如谈判条件，开会日期，商
品价格等用agree on (或 upon )；单方面说“与某人意见一致”时用 agree with；宾
语是“建议”、“计划”、“安排”等名词时常用agree to .
50．答案A。
【参考译文】众所周知，我国的退休工人有权享受公费医疗。
【试题分析】本题为词组意义辨析。
【详细解答】be entitled to 有权做某事（= be given the right ）;它是由主动结构ent
itle sb. to (do) sth.（给某人以 … 的权利）变来的短语。又如：You are entitled to
a free seat at the concert.你有权享受一张免费座位听音乐会。be involved in 卷入
，受牵连，聚精会神地干，例如：He was involved in murder .他被卷入这起谋杀案。be
associated with 与… 与有联系（= be connected with）;be assigned to 委派，指定
；例如：He has been assigned to a new post .他被派到了新的工作岗位。根据上面的
解释和例句，A项最符合此句意思。
51．答案B。
【参考译文】农民比城里人更盼望雨水，因为雨水对他们的利害关系更大。
【试题分析】本题为介词语辨析。
【详细解答】danger不与at 搭配,常用作in danger(处于危险中),at loss搭配错误,应说
at a loss ,意思是“不知所措”。threat（威胁，凶兆）不与at 搭配。本题单从搭配上
的辨析便可判定B正确。at stake在危险中，存亡攸关。此句取其“利害攸关”之意。
52．答案B。
【参考译文】虽然我已经告诉他们不要让我们久等，但他们并没有做出努力，加快交货的速
度。
【试题分析】本题为词义辨析题。
【详细解答】attempt 企图，试图（指作出努力）。A）trial试验，考验，审判；C）action行为，动作；D）progress进步。该题也可用try 或 effort。
53．答案B。
【参考译文】在说别人的坏话之前也要考虑自己的毛病。
【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题，考查对语义的理解和运用的能力。
【详细解答】run down 说别人的坏话。A）run over （车辆等）辗过；溢出。C）run a
fter 追捕；跟踪。D）run into 偶然碰见。run 和不同的介词或副词构成不同的短语或习
惯用法，含有不同的意义。英语中有许多这样的动词短语，注意它们的习惯用法。

54．答案B。
【参考译文】用完这些工具之后，希望你最好把它们收起来。
【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题，主要考查动词与副词或介词的搭配及用法。
【详细解答】put away 收起来。A) put apart 分开；e . g . In former times, people
suffering an infectious disease were put apart until they were better. C) put
forward 意思是move ( sth. ) into a position further in front 把（某物）移往靠前
一点；e . g . Why don’t you put your chair forward and have a better view? D)p

不在现场就不存在进不进来的问题。
56．答案D。

消”； call up意思是“打电话给…”。故选 C。
58. 答案A。
【参考译文】宾馆建造得过多，加速了住宿价格的下降，使得度假更加经济。
【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题。
【详细解答】forced down加速下降。B）slow使慢下来；使（市场等）变得呆滞；可以说sl
ow up(down)a motor-car（放慢汽车速度），但不能说slow down prices; C)cut down 削
弱；缩短；可以说cut down expenses(削减开支)，但不能说cut down prices. e.g. That
w
ith increased taxation and rising prices, I’m going to have to cut down on quit
e a lot of things—clothes, records and so on. D)reduce减少，降低（速度，成本等）
；reduce在用作减少开支的意义时可和cut down，互换，如reduce expenses可以换成cut d
own expenses。
59. 答案B。
【参考译文】罗妮的脚步声消失了，接下来是一阵死一般的寂静。
【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题，考查die短语的含义和用法。

死掉；绝种；枯死：e.g. The species is dying off.（这个物种正濒临灭绝。）D）die o
ut 熄灭；绝种；不复存在。在作“绝种”用时和die off 意义相同。e.g. This bird is d
ying out。（这种鸟快要绝种了。）根据题意，选B比较合适，其它均不可取。
60. 答案C。
【参考译文】如此自私的人很难让人同情。
【试题分析】本题为搭配辨析题，也即为短语辩析题。
【详细解答】feel for对（某人）感到同情；同情（某人）。A）feel like想（做某事）；
愿意。e.g. I’m tired. I feel like going to bed.（我累了，想睡觉。)B）feel out
试探；摸清（某人的想法）。D）feel towards感觉；e.g. How do you feel towards the

64．答案B。
【参考译文】汤姆想当一名律师，因为他觉得律师是个有名望体面的职业，而且他一直想占
据高位。
【试题分析】本题为形近词辨析题。这四个词都为形容词，且词尾都含有后缀-ous ，但也
是难词辨析题。

)order 在做动词时意思是“安排”，与arrange可以互换。e.g. order (arrange) sth. pr
operly(把事情安排好)。B）arrange安排；布置，含有按照一定规划或计划进行布置的意思
。D)clear away清除，收起来，拿走，含有remove or take away 的意思。当我们说“收拾
房间”，可以说tidy up the room, 不能说clear away the room. clear away含有“清除
掉”的意思。所以本题答案为C。

Part Ⅳ

短文大意
乔治·华盛顿·卡弗事业的第一步就是对植物的组成进行分析，想找出它们是由什么组
成的。他把这简单而孤立的物质同其它物质相结合，创造出新的产品。
卡弗对农业化学颇有研究，他是当时最早的，也是最伟大的农业化学家之一。卡弗一生
为之奋斗的就是如何处理废物，并提出急需研制出替代产品来替代快被人类耗尽的自然物质
。卡弗从不考虑从他创造的新产品中获取多少荣誉，也决不试图从他的发现中获取专利或财
富。他也曾拒绝成为一个有钱的科学家而离开Tuskegee Institute。在他的事业处于顶峰时
期，他的声誉和影响传遍了世界各大洲。
71．【参考答案】The work and career of George Washington Carver /Carver
’s work and career．
【解题技巧】通过总结和概括来找出这篇短文的主题。
【详细解答】这个答案在原文中不够具体，无法从字行中发现它。但从全篇文章的内容上来
看，着重叙述了Carver的两件事：一个是他的工作，一个是他的事业，工作和事业又是紧密
相连的。如果把三个段落的内容浓缩起来，文章的主题就非常明显和突出了。这样就会准确
地概括和总结了。
72．【参考答案】replace natural substances being used up by humans
【解题技巧】通过阅读原文从字行里找答案。
【详细解答】有些问题是完全可以从某一段的某一句话中体现出来。本题的答案就是要从原
文中找出来的，但并不是完全照抄原文，而要做一些小的变动。原文中用介词for，问题回
答
时，就要改为to replace。如果用 take the place of就多出二个单词，会被扣分。只能限
制使用动词replace，这就相应增加了一定的难度。
73．【参考答案】development of industrial products from farm products
【解题技巧】要对关键词chemurgy进行英语释义。
【详细解答】如果能用英语进行释义则更好。如果不能，也可从原文中发现对它的解释。如
第二段开头一句话就是对这一词汇的解释：raw materials from farm products to make i
ndustrial products或 development of industrial products from farm products。〖ZK
)〗
74．【参考答案】To illustrate（show）one of Carver’s many opportunities
【解题技巧】需要对作者意图进行理解和对上下文进行间接推理。
【详细解答】根据短文内容可知，卡弗得到来自各方面的主动帮助。有的出钱，有的出物，
有的出试验室，要卡弗去发挥他的聪明才智，但他都—一拒绝。最终接受了美国政府提供给
他的一次机会。作者为了说明他的机会很多，特意将大发明家爱迪生也搬了出来，用以烘托
出卡弗的执着的追求。
75．【参考答案】Recycling of used materials / To reuse the used materials
【解题技巧】通过上下文找出答案。
【详细解答】卡弗一生为之奋斗的是对废旧物质的处理和利用。这种旧物、废物的回收和利
用也是当今我们急待解决的问题。如果把卡弗一生所追求的和我们现在所从事的事业连系在
一起，我们就不难发现他所追求的正是我们现在正在进行的事业之一。

写作指导
这是一篇议论文。写议论文，要求考生针对论题展开论述。在论述时，考生表达论点要明确
，论述要有力。议论文通常由论点、论据、结论构成。本篇要求考生论证珍视时间就是珍视
生命这一论点，并在正反两面论证的基础上得出自己的结论，即年轻人须珍视时间、珍视生
命。
本篇作文题材为人们常谈论的话题，但却很有现实意义。在范文中，第一段先用人们熟悉的
谚语引出主题，并在结论时提出了文章的论点——To value his time means to value his
life. 第二段写如何珍视时间，并用雷锋的话作为典型的正面例子来总结。第三段说明有
许多人正在浪费时间和青春，从反面论证了文章的观点。
文章最后一段是结论部分，是对第一段的说明与强化。在第一段中，作者提出珍视时间就是
珍视生命，在结尾，作者再次表明自己的态度，指出人们应养成珍视时间的好习惯。这样，
前后呼应的行文方式就会增强文章的感染力和说服力。
Sample Writing
Value Time, Value Life
As an old saying goes, “An inch of time equals an inch of gold. Gold can be reg
ained if it is gone, but time will never return when it passed.” Perhaps time i
s unlimited in some degree, but man’s life is limited. So time at man’s dispos
al is extremely limited. Thus it comes to the point that man must value his time
. To value his time means to value his life. 
How to value our time? Some suggest that we make full use of our time to do good
things for the people and the whole society. Being young men, we should not rel
ax our efforts to engage in our studies. Lose no time in the study of all profe
ssions required so as to dedicate ourselves to the realization of the four moder
nizations. As Comrade Lei Feng says, “Plunge my limited life into the unlimited
service of the people”.
But it is a great pity that there are more than a few young men who are not awar
e of the value of time. They spend their treasure time in drinking, dancing, idl
ing and even gambling. They don’t realize that they are killing part of their v
aluable life.
To value our time,we should first of all develop a good habit of saving time. Ne
ver leave today’s work for tomorrow. Get rid of laziness and establish a correc
t view point of life. Arrange our time scientifically. “Work while you work, pl
ay while you play.” That will make your life happy.
