题型有：1. Dialogue Communication 2. Vocabulary and Structure 3. Reading Comprehension 4. Cloze Test 5. Translation 6. Writing

Part I Dialogue Communication (15 minutes, 15 points)

Section A Dialogue CompletionDirections: In this section, you will read 5 short incomplete dialogues between two speakers, each followed by four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the answer that best suits the situation to complete the dialogue. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

1． Speaker A: Hi. Excuse me, ...um ... do you need any help?Speaker B: ______ A．Yes, but are you sure you can help me? B．Oh, yes. Do you have tennis shoes?

C．Well, I’d like one chicken burger and a cup of coke, please.

D．Oh, yes, I do. I’ve been walking around in circles. I can’t seem to find the train station.

正确答案：D

解析：A方主动向B方提供帮助，B方需作出接受或谢绝对方好意的答复。B和C项通常是对“Can I help you?”作出的答复，但显然不符合这一对话场合的要求。A项前半部分对，后半部分提出需要什么帮助，这不符合这一对话的逻辑关系。D项是在这种情景下正确的回答。

2． A: That’s the worst looking painting I’ve ever seen. B: ______ A．Never mind. Let’s continue to look at. B．Come on. It’s not that bad. C．No, it is not the worst painting. D．Yes, it looks the worst.

正确答案：B 解析：“那是我见过的最难看的图画。”“别这样，它没有那么糟糕。”A选项“别介意，继续看。”C选项“不，它是最差的。”D选项有语法错误。因为B选项回答得比较婉转，符合口语的要求，其他的选项都说不通。所以B选项是正确答案。

3． A: How annoying! I can’t figure out a solution to this problem. Can you help me? B: ______

A．Why don’t you do it yourself?

B．OK. Though it’s beyond me. Let me try.

C．You shouldn’t feel annoyed. After all, it’s your own problem. D．Well, I’m afraid I can’t at the moment.

正确答案：D 解析：“太烦人了，这个问题我解决不了。你能帮助我吗? ”A选项“你为什么不自己做。”B选项“好的，尽管它超出我的能力范围，但是还是让我来试试。”C选项“你不应该感觉如此烦恼。无论如何，那是你自己的问题。”D选项“嗯，恐怕现在我不能帮你。”最礼貌、最得体的答复只能是D选项。B选项有一定的迷惑性，但是在交际中，如果真的不能帮助别人，应该礼貌而又得体地拒绝对方。

4． Speaker A: Hello, is that Steve? I’m stuck in a traffic jam. I’m afraid I can’t make it before seven o’clock. Speaker B: ______

A．OK, but I still hope you’ll try your best to arrive on time. B．Yes. The traffic is very heavy because it’s the rush hour. C．Why don’t you leave home a bit earlier? D．Never mind. I’ll be here waiting for you.

正确答案：D

解析：A方的话表明，他因交通阻塞而不能及时赶到B方所在处，正在半路上通过手机向B方解释。D项“没关系，我会等你的”符合这一特定的对话场景，是正确答案。A项后半部分不太符合英语交际惯例，C项带有指责A方的意思，显得不礼貌，B项与A方内容无逻辑关系。

5． Speaker A: I’d like to arrange a meeting to discuss our new plan. Are you free tomorrow?Speaker B: ______

A．I couldn’t agree more. B．I’m quite sure of it.

C．If only I hadn’t had a prior engagement. D．I’m afraid I’m not available until Friday.

正确答案：D 解析：A说：”我想安排一个会议来讨论一个我们的新计划。你明天有空吗”?答案意思是”恐怕我星期五才有空”。这道题很容易作答。当不能对别人的建议进行肯定的答复时，应当委婉地拒绝。D选项符合该口语交际的原则。注意选项A的意思是”我完全同意”。选项B意思是”我非常确信”，系答非所问。C选项过于生硬，与对话的语境不符。

Section B Dialogue ComprehensionDirections: In this section, you will read 5 short conversations between a man and a woman. At the end of each conversation there is a question followed by four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to the question from the four choices given and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

6． Woman: Have you heard about the plane crash yesterday? It caused 120 deaths. I’m never at ease when taking a flight.Man: Though we often hear about air

crashes and serious casualties, flying is still one of the safest ways to travel.Question.. What do we learn from this conversation?

A．The man thinks travelling by air is quite safe. B．The woman never travels by plane.

C．Both speakers feel nervous when flying.

D．The speakers feel sad about the serious loss of life.

正确答案：A

解析：女方说她乘坐飞机时从来都很不安心(never at ease)，而男方说人们虽然经常听说飞机失事和严重伤亡，但乘坐飞机依然是最安全的旅行方式之一。A项的内容与男方的话意思一致，是正确答案。

7． Man: Excuse me. Can you tell me where the rest room is? Woman: Sure. It’s at the end of this hallway. Question: What is the man doing?

A．He is trying to find the hallway. B．He is going to take a rest.

C．He is trying to find a room to stay. D．He is asking directions.

正确答案：D

解析：此题考查对会话场景的推断。男士在打听rest room“洗手间”在什么地方，所以他是在问路asking directions。

8． Man: Have you any idea what Jack Johnson’s doing these days? Woman: Do you know, I’ve lost track of him. Question: What does the woman mean?

A．She has no idea where Jack is. B．She last saw Jack at the race track. C．She’s been trying to track Jack.

D．Jack was lately seen driving a truck.

正确答案：A

解析：女方话中lost track of意为“失去行踪”，所以正确答案应选A，即女方不知道Jack现在在哪里。

9． Woman： Shouldn’t someone go pick up the clothes from the laundry? They were ready three hours ago. Man: Don’t look at me, Mom. Question: What does the boy mean?

A．He is unwilling to fetch the laundry. B．He has already picked up the laundry. C．He will go before the laundry is closed.

D．He thinks his mother should get the clothes back.

正确答案：A 解析：女方问谁能去洗衣服，男方的回答是：“你别看着我。”此句的含意是：

“别让我去，我不想去。”A的内容与男方隐含的意思一致，是正确答案。

10． Man: Do you want to turn on the air-conditioner or open the windows? Woman: I love fresh air if you don’t mind. Question: What can be inferred from the woman’s answer?

A．She’d like to have the windows open. B．She likes to have the air conditioner on. C．The air is heavily polluted. D．The windows are already open.

正确答案：A

解析：男方问女方想开空调还是开窗，女方的回答是：“如果你不介意，我喜欢新鲜空气。”由此可以推断，女方喜欢开着窗，这就是A的内容。

Part II Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes, 10 points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section. For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B. C and D. Choose the one that best completes the sentence. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

11． The group has taken a militant position on the issue of raising the wages and is refusing to compromise, ______the situation more serious.

A．making B．made C．to make

D．having made

正确答案：A

解析：分词短语making the situation more serious作结果状语，用其一般式，排除tomake和having made；另外，make的逻辑主语是前面整个情况，这种情况使得”形势更加严峻”，所以不能用表示被动意义的过去分词made。 知识模块：语法

12． Born of the same parents, he bears no resemblances______his brothers. A．with B．to

C．between D．among

正确答案：B

解析：resemblance要求接to，意为”与……相像”。与to搭配的名词常用的还有：ac—cess，appeal，contrast，limit，key，answer，solution，response，objection，reference，claim等。 知识模块：词汇

13． We had given ourselves so little time to get to the airport that it was______

whether we should catch the plane.

A．give and take B．touch and go C．stop and go D．to and from

正确答案：B 解析：四个选项中，只有B项touch and go”说不准，无法确定”和D项to and from”来来往往”是固定搭配，据题意，”我们给自己留下这么少的时间去机场，以至于我们无法确定能否赶上飞机”，只有touch and go”说不准，无法确定”合适。 知识模块：词汇

14． There are two great belts or ______ where ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.

A．regions B．areas C．zones D．districts

正确答案：C

解析：zone”地带”；region”(标界不明显的、较大)地区”，常用来指行政划分出的区域；area为普通用词，泛指”地区”；district”(大地区下面划分出的)小区”，如市内某区。比较：special economic zone”经济特区”；autonomous region”自治区”；Hai—dian District”海淀区”。 知识模块：词汇

15． Members of the party all appreciate Jackson’s wanting to help them ______ their difficulties.

A．come over B．tide over C．take over D．smooth over

正确答案：B

解析：tide over”渡过难关”、”克服(困难)”；come over”过来”，注意不要与overcome混淆；take over”接管”；smooth over”平息，掩饰”。 知识模块：词汇

16． Mankind must first of all eat, drink, have shelter and clothing______ it can pursue politics, science, art, religion, etc.

A．later B．before C．when D．if

正确答案：B

解析：这是before的一种特殊用法，意为“在……之前必须……才能……”，可译作“只有……才能……”，多用在must(have to)…before…can…句型中。如：One must sow before one canreap．“只有播种才有收获。”New ideas sometimes have to wait for years before they can be fullyaccepted．“有时新的思想必须等待多年后才能被人们完全接受。”

17． He______the meeting, but upon learning that they would discuss something irrelevant to his field of study, he dropped the idea.

A．were going to attend B．had attended C．were to attend

D．would have attended

正确答案：D

解析：此句是含蓄虚拟条件句，其隐含假设条件是：if he had not learned that…。这种含蓄虚拟句多半是前半部分虚拟，后半部分以but或unfortunately为转折，陈述真实情况，暗指“若不是这种情况存在，就……”。如此句应译成：“要不他就参加会议了，可是听说要讨论的内容与他的研究领域无关，他就放弃了参加会议的打算。”

18． Children going to school must have a chance to ______ excess physical energy; children even more than adults require and enjoy physical exercise and games of all kinds.

A．work off B．let off C．play off D．put off

正确答案：A 解析：work off“排除，消除”，如：He usually works off his drowsiness by taking a brisk walk. 他经常用轻快的散步来消除瞌睡。let off。“放(炮)；免除(责任、任务)”；play off“假装；冒充；再赛以决定胜负”；put off“推迟”。

19． It was not discussed or proposed that I______invited to become Chairman. A．would be B．could be C．be D．was

正确答案：C

解析：此句应用原形动词be表示虚拟语气，因that从句是discussed和proposed的主语从句。

20． The policemen are investigating the murder______.

A．event B．case C．incident D．accident

正确答案：B

解析：题干：警方正在对这起谋杀案进行调查。本题测试近义词辨析，案件应该用case。event一般指重大事件，incident多指小事或是冲突事件，accident多指意外事故。根据题意，B选项是正确答案。

21． The man was wrongly arrested by the police mainly because they______the names given by the witness.

A．perplexed B．puzzled C．confused D．combined

正确答案：C

解析：confuse“混淆”；perplex，puzzle“使迷惑不解”；combine“联合；使结合”。

22． Another important factor ______ in choosing the place is the availability of coal in ample quantities.

A．for considering B．to be considered C．for being considered D．to consider

正确答案：B

解析：不定式to be considered表示“要考虑”，作factor的定语，同时factor又是consider的逻辑主语，与之是受动关系，所以用不定式被动式。此句译为：“选择地点时要考虑的另一个重要因素是要有大量的煤可以利用。”

23． Before the disastrous earthquake there was chaos. A．massive B．ominous C．suspending D．imminent

正确答案：B

解析：A选项意为“厚重的，魁伟的”；B选项意为“预兆性的，恶兆的”；C选项意为“悬而未决的”；D选项意为“迫近的，即将来临的”。这句话的意思是：预兆性的混乱在地震灾难到来之前就已有了。只有B选项符合句意，因此正确答案为B。

24． It is difficult to guess what his______to the proposal will be. A．comment B．impression C．reaction D．opinion

正确答案：C

解析：reaction to“对……的反应”；comment on“对……的评论”；impression on(of)“对……的印象”；opinion of“对……的看法”。

25． The two astronauts______someday hope it is to fly the craft into earth orbit were flight testing.

A．that B．whom C．whose D．who

正确答案：C

解析：whose在从句中作定语，相当于…it is(their hope)／the hope of the two astronauts to fly．．．

26． Some people hold that, since we live in a money-oriented society, the average individual cares little about solving______problems.

A．anyone elses’ B．anyone’s else C．anyone else’s D．any one else’s

正确答案：C

解析：anyone else“别的任何人”，其所有格形式应在else后；anyone不应分开写，else不是名词，没有复数形式。

27． It turned out that he had forgotten to______ the lens cap and all the pictures he had taken thus failed to develop.

A．remove B．delete C．erase D．detach

正确答案：A

解析：remove“拿掉；除去；移走”；delete“删除”；erase“擦掉，删去”；detach“分开，拆开”，是attach的反义词。

28． If you try to sell them something that they ______ for free, they aren’t going to buy it.

A．used to getting B．used to get

C．were used to get D．are used to get

正确答案：B

解析：used to可看作一个半助动词或情态动词，其后接动词原形，表示过去的习惯或经常发生的动作。be used to=get used to，都是固定结构，意思是“习惯于某事或做某事”， to为介词，后接名词或动名词，不能接动词原形。“be used to+v.”或“be used as/for+ n.”表示某东西被用来做某事或被当作什么东西采使用，都是被动语态结构。

29． A series of attempts______made, he came to a successful solution of the problem.

A．to be B．had been C．were

D．having been

正确答案：D

解析：该题考查主格结构的用法，有一定的难度。make attempts to意思是”尝试着做某事”。结合后半句的时态我们可以推知前半句的时态应当是过去完成时，同时从句中a series of attempts充当逻辑主语，故需采用被动语态。综上分析，选项D为正确答案。译文：经过了一系列的尝试之后，他终于成功地找到了解决这个问题的方法。

30． It is often not easy to ______ the marked generation gap which exists between the young and their elders.

A．broaden B．break C．bridge D．build

正确答案：C

解析：本题测试固定用法。bridge the generation gap“消除代沟”。

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes, 40 points)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

Calvin Coolidge (1872—1933) was the thirtieth president of the United States. He looked down on a person as being unworthy of respect who was too fond of talking about the details of other people’s actions and private lives; he had no time for small talk. The following two incidents clearly show how Coolidge treasured silence. When he was vice-president, Coolidge had plenty of opportunity to participate in Washington’s social life, especially the many dinner parties. Because of his complete disregard for the art of conversation, he couldn’t exactly make himself dear to his hostesses. One lady felt she could solve this problem. She placed him next to Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of former President Theodore Roosevelt. Mrs. Longworth, brilliant conversationalist, began to talk in her usual charming manner, but all attempts to awake interest on the part of vice-president were unproductive. Finally, being shamed into annoyance, she said, “I’m sure that going to as many dinners as you do, you must get terribly bored. “ Without lifting his eyes from his plate, Coolidge said not very clearly, “Well, a man has to eat somewhere. “ Later, when he was president and once again at a dinner party, Coolidge was seated next to an outstanding society woman, one of those people who seem to take delight in trying to change the lives of everyone they meet. “Oh, Mr. President,” she spoke with too much enthusiasm,”y°u are always so quiet. I made a bet (打赌) today that I could get more than two words out of you. “ In anger, the president made a low, rough sound and then said, “You lose. “

31． President Coolidge considered those people as being unworthy of respect______.

A．who liked to talk about the affairs of others B．who never talked about anything serious C．who spoke insincerely

D．who talked much but did little

正确答案：A

解析：文中第一段第二句说：“他看不起喜欢讨论别人私生活和行为细节的人，认为这样的人不值得尊敬。他没有时间谈论生活琐事。”所以选项A正确。其余三个选项均不符合文章内容。 知识模块：阅读

32． Why didn’t the hostesses like Calvin Coolidge? A．He paid no attention to the skills of conversation. B．He treated women coldly.

C．He was too serious to please women. D．He was quick at getting offended.

正确答案：A

解析：文中第二段第二句说：“因为他完全不理会谈话艺术，所以他绝对赢得不了女主人的喜爱。”因此选项A正确。其余三个选项文中均未提及。 知识模块：阅读

33． Mrs. Longworth was annoyed because______.

A．the vice-president didn’t even lift his eyes from his plate B．the vice-president didn’t speak clearly

C．the vice-president took part in so many dinner parties

D．all efforts she made to awake the vice-president’s interest had failed

正确答案：D

解析：第二段倒数第一句、二句说：“……但是所有唤起副总统参与兴趣的努力均未见效。最后，她由羞辱变为恼怒……”由此可知，此题答案为D。 知识模块：阅读

34． What is meant by “take delight in”? A．To arouse interest in.

B．To get much benefit from. C．To receive great pleasure from. D．To take advantage of.

正确答案：C 解析：这个词组出现在文中第四段第一句话中“……柯立芝坐在一位杰出的女交际家旁边，她是那类似乎take delight in试图改变他们遇见的每个人的生活的人”。从下文可以看出，这位女交际家用过度热情的方式说话，并试图让柯立芝总统多说话。由此我们可以推知，这位女交际家把改变别人的生活方式当做乐趣，因此此题答案为C。 知识模块：阅读

35． The story shows that President Coolidge______. A．was a man of few words, but with humour B．was bad-tempered, but very polite to women C．was always quiet, and had no sense of humour

D．was often silent because he hated people changing his habit

正确答案：A 解析：在文中举出的柯立芝总统不善交谈的第一个例子中，柯立芝用不很清晰的话说：“哎，一个人总得在什么地方吃饭。”由此看出，柯立芝说话虽少，却很幽默。因此本题答案为A。 知识模块：阅读

Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do, and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked, canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant, the works’ canteen, and the school dining room. It is unusual now for father to continue his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment

and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child’s home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant (支配的) figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.

36． The writer compares home to a workshop because______. A．fathers often pursue employment at home

B．parents have to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-life C．many families produce goods at home for sale

D．both fathers and mothers in most families are workers

正确答案：B

解析：在文中第一段第一句作者说：“今天的父母比起过去来说，为他们的孩子不得不做的事已经变得很少了。家庭不再像一个工厂了。”文章接着举出几个例子说明家庭所需要的食品和其他必需品在市场上都能买到，同时社会服务机构也提供了一些家务劳动服务。由此我们可以推知，在过去这些食品和每日必需品的生产和制作都由父母来完成，因此家庭更像一个工厂。选项B正确。其余三个选项均不符合文章内容。 知识模块：阅读

37． The writer says that home has become much less of a workshop. He means______.

A．in the past, home was more like a workshop B．home is much more of a workshop now

C．home-workshops are becoming fewer and fewer D．home was less like a workshop in the past

正确答案：A

解析：见1题题解。 知识模块：阅读

38． The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation is______.

A．that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of work B．that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any more C．that there is a wide choice of employment for children D．that children also like to have jobs outside

正确答案：C

解析：文中第二段第二句说：“男孩因此很少为了继承父亲的职业而接受训练，因为在许多城镇他们有相当广泛的职业选择。对于女孩子也同样如此。”因此选项C正确。 知识模块：阅读

39． What makes father no longer be the only dominant person in a family? A．With their earning, mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life.

B．There are many choices of employment for mothers and children. C．Father does much less for his children today than he used to.

D．The number of married women in employment has increased greatly now.

正确答案：A

解析：文中倒数第二句话说：“随着母亲和年长子女都能挣得丰厚的工资，能像本世纪初在家庭中处于支配地位的父亲已越来越少了。”由此我们可知，这就意味着母亲和孩子们不再依靠他们的丈夫和父亲，而是能靠自己挣得的工资养活自己。所以选项A正确。 知识模块：阅读

40． It is implied in this passage that______. A．mothers have the practice to go to work

B．working mothers have no time to stay with their children at home C．young wage-earners are economically independent D．mother’s position in a family has been raised

正确答案：D 解析：本题是一道推断题。文中第一段讲的是今天的家庭不再像过去那样是生产食品和日常用品的工厂了，许多家用物品和每日常用食品都可以直接购买到；第二段讲的是已婚妇女和年长子女现在都能挣得工资，因此父亲在家中的支配地位已下降。由此我们可以分析出，父亲过去在家中之所以处于支配地位，是因为母亲和子女没有工作，也就没有经济来源，要靠父亲来养活，因而母亲在家中地位就处于从属位置，大部分时间是干繁重的家务劳动。随着社会的发展，许多家务劳动已由社会承担，母亲和年长子女的就业机会也增多了，他们都能靠工资养活自己，因而母亲在家中的地位必然上升。所以选项D正确。当然，本题也可通过排除法找到答案。文中第二段第四句说：“在生产纺织品的地区母亲出去工作已成习惯，而这种实际情况是如此的普遍，以至于现在一个有小孩的家庭里有一个工作的母亲都是一件非常正常的事……”。由此选项A在文章中已明确提到，可排除；文中最后一句说：“当母亲出去工作时，经济优势增加了；但如果母亲的工作妨碍了她在家里迎候孩子们放学回来，那么孩子们会失去最有价值的东西。”由此选项B在文中已提及，可排除；文中第二段第三句说：“年轻的工薪者时常挣得很多钱，因此不久就会获得的感觉。”由此选项C可排除。排除不了的只有选项D，是文章中暗示但未直接提及的内容。 知识模块：阅读

The physicist investigating the relationship between time and space, the chemist exploring the properties of a new substance, the biologist probing the mysteries of the continuity of life, and the anthropologist searching for human origins

share a common trait of curiosity. Not that non-scientists are not curious, most people possess this characteristic. The scientist, however, uses a specific method to make research into these enigmatic (如谜的, 难以理解的) problems— the scientific method. Unfortunately, science and its method are misunderstood. The multiplication of our knowledge in medicine and technology has led to the idea that science can cure all and explain all and that only enough time, money and intelligence are needed. In truth, science cannot provide all answers. In fact, many phenomena are not even subject to scientific explanations. On the other side of the coin, science has been attacked as a cause of most contemporary problems. It is said to be responsible for the depersonalization (人格解体，人性丧失) of the individual, for stripping creativity from human behavior, and for creating massive threats to the species through the development of nuclear power, insecticides, and polluting machinery. If we analyze the situation, we can see that it was not the original intent of the people who developed computers to debase humankind, nor was mass production proposed as a method to crush creativity. It is what society, policymakers especially, does with scientific achievements that makes them social or antisocial. There is nothing inherently good or bad about science.

41． Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? A．Scientists and their curiosity. B．Understandings of science. C．Science and scientific method. D．Misunderstandings of science.

正确答案：D 解析：本题问下面哪个选项是文章的主题。利用浏览式阅读法通读一下原文，我们发现作者主要在介绍人们对科学和科学方法的误解与指责。因此，本题的正确答案应是D。 知识模块：阅读

42． Which of the following statements is closest in meaning with the last sentence of Para. 2?

A．Many phenomena can be subjects of scientific explanations. B．Many phenomena can find answers in scientific explanations.

C．Scientific explanations cannot provide answers to many phenomena. D．Scientific explanations are not related to many phenomena.

正确答案：C 解析：本题是一道句子含义类问题。问下面哪个选项与第二段的最后一句话意思最接近。文章第二段指出，不幸的是，科学及其方法经常被误解。我们在医学及科技方面的知识的增加使我们认为，科学也可以医治百病、解释万象，只要有足够的时间、金钱和智慧。但实际上科学并不能提供所有的答案。事实上，许多现象不可能利用科学加以解释。因此，本题的正确答案应是C。 知识模块：阅读

43． What does the expression “to debase humankind” in Para. 3 mean? A．To provide base to humankind. B．To reduce the value of humankind. C．To get rid of humankind. D．To compete with humankind.

正确答案：B

解析：本题是一道词汇含义类问题。问第三段中的debase humankind是什么意思。我们可以根据构词法和上下文推断出此词的含义。文章指出，另一方面，科学又被指责为众多的时弊之源。有人说科学造成了人们个性的丧失，剥夺了人类行为的创造性，通过开发核能、制造杀虫剂及造成污染的机械，对物种造成了巨大的威胁。如果分析一下这一情形，我们就会明白，人们研制计算机、搞大规模生产的初衷并不是贬低人类，也不是用以毁灭创造力。因此，本题的正确答案应是B“降低人类的价值”。 知识模块：阅读

44． According to the last paragraph, which of the following will be accepted by the author?

A．Science is the cause of modern problems. B．Science itself is neither good nor bad. C．Science leads to environmental pollution. D．Science causes many antisocial acts.

正确答案：B

解析：本题是一道根据文章内容判断是非类问题。问按照文章最后一段，作者会接受哪个观点。文章最后一段指出，将科学成就加以运用，使它们有益于社会或有害于社会取决于社会，特别是取决于那些制定的人。就科学来说，它本身并无好坏之分。因此，本题的正确答案应是B。 知识模块：阅读

45． In the expression “On the other side of the coin” in Para. 3 “the coin” is used to refer to______.

A．the misunderstanding of science B．the scientific explanation

C．the money needed in scientific research D．the curiosity of scientists

正确答案：A

解析：本题是一道词汇含义类问题。问在文章第三段的第一句话中的coin是指什么。根据文章上下文，我们可以推断出，此词在这里是指人们对科学的指责和误解这一方面。因此，本题的答案应是A。 知识模块：阅读

There have been several claims to have cloned humans over the past few years. Most have been bogus. But the announcement made this week by Woo Suk Hwang, of Seoul National University in South Korea, and his colleagues, is serious. It

is the first to achieve the accolade of publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Dr. Hwang’s work appears in Science. The terminology of human development has become slippery over the past few years, in the hands of both “life-begins-at-conception” propagandists who want to stop this sort of research, and publicity-seeking scientists who have claimed more than they have really achieved．What Dr. Hwang and his team have created is not what developmental biologists would normally refer to as an embryo. But it is a genuine scientific advance. South Korea’s researchers have taken egg cells from volunteer women, removed the nuclei from those cells (which contain only half of the genetic complement required to make a human being, since the other half is provided by the sperm), and replaced each nucleus with one taken from one of the volunteer’s body ceils (which contains a full genetic complement). Given a suitable chemical kick-start, such re-nucleated cells will begin dividing as though they were eggs that had been fertilised in the more traditional manner. Since they have all of the mother’s genes, they count as clones. Then the team cultured the dividing eggs until they had formed structures called blastocysts, with a few dozen cells each. This is the significant advance. At this stage the structure, though still just a featureless ball of cells, has started to differentiate into the body’s three basic cell types (known as endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm). The researchers were able to extract cells from some of their blastocysts, and grow tissues containing all three cell types. These are so-called stem cells, which can be directed to form a wide variety of the specialised cells from which organs are built. That, not the creation of new human beings, is the stated reason for this sort of research, since specialised ceils made this way might be used to replace the cells lost in diseases such as Parkinson’s and type-I diabetes. This process is known as therapeutic cloning. No doubt Dr Hwang’s scientific success will sharpen the debate between those who see therapeutic cloning as a potential force for good, and those who see it as a step on the road to a cloned human being. The former have been queuing up to praise the scientist’s work. It is “a major med- ical milestone” that could help spur a “revolution”, said Robert Lanza, a cloning expert. But opponents of therapeutic cloning should not worry too much yet. The road from a blast cyst to a baby is a long and complex one. Nevertheless, the South Korean breakthrough makes it more urgent than ever that legislation be passed differentiating clearly between therapeutic and reproductive cloning—permitting the former and prohibiting the latter.

46． What does the word “bogus” (Line 2) most probably mean? A．Different. B．Fake. C．Bold． D．Genuine.

正确答案：B

解析：词汇题。此题需要对上下文进行分析。作者认为以前大多数关于克隆出入的宣布都是bogus，紧接着用But转折指出韩国宣布的结果却是serious(严肃认真的)。第二段也提到，But it is a genuine scientific advance。由此可推断，bogus

与serious，genuine意思相反。四个选项中只有B项Fake“假的；伪造的”合理，所以为正确答案。

47． The South Korean team’s breakthrough in cloning is that A．they have really created an embryo

B．they have developed women’s body cells into blastocysts C．they have cultivated blastocysts with fixed features

D．they have been able to grow tissues containing stem cells

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。此题需要认真阅读文章中有关韩国的克隆研究内容部分。从第二段中部开始，我们得知，韩国科学家从志愿的妇女身体上取得卵细胞，去除其中的核子，代之以该志愿者的体细胞中取出的核子。通过化学的方法，被重新置人体细胞核子的卵细胞开始，就好像是以传统的方式．“授精”了一样。(由此可知B明显不对。)然后研究小组将的卵细胞进行培养直到它们形成一种叫blastocyst的结构，这种结构此时只是没有任何面貌身体特点的细胞球(C与这点不符合，所以不对)，但开始分化形成身体所需的三种基本细胞。因此研究人员可以从blastocyst结构中提取细胞，培养成含有这三种细胞的组织。这些干细胞可以通过培养形成各种用于构建器官的特殊细胞。通过以上分析可知，D是正确答案。

48． The team’s claimed objective of its cloning research is to A．develop fertilized eggs with all mother’s genes B．form body structures with all three basic cell types C．obtain specialised cells from which organs are built D．create new human beings

正确答案：C

解析：细节题。在第四段中，干细胞通过培养形成各种用于构建器官的特殊细胞(即C)；是韩国研究人员宣称的进行研究的原因，而不是创造新人类(D)。A和B都与原文意思不一致。所以 C是本题正确答案。

49． It can be inferred from the passage that the author A．doesn’t think it likely to develop a blastocyst to a baby B．is an opponent of therapeutic cloning

C．thinks it necessary to use law to control cloning D．is a proponent of productive cloning

正确答案：C

解析：推断题。根据文章最后一段，作者认为反对者对医疗性克隆研究人不必太担心，因为从韩国科学家研究出的blastocyst到克隆出人类还需要一个漫长而复杂的过程(A说这一过程是不可能的，与原文不符)。然而，这使得对克隆研究进行立法变得更为紧迫(即C的意思)，应立法对医疗目的的克隆研究和旨在克隆人类的研究进行区分，允许前者，禁止后者(B和D正好与此相反)。由此可知

C是正确答案。

50． The author’s tone in discussing South Korea’s cloning advance is of A．criticism B．satire C．suspicion D．appreciation

正确答案：D

解析：作者语气题。作者在文章中用了serious，a genuine scientific advance，significant advance， breakthrough等词来描述韩国科学家的研究成果，而且认为这是医疗性克隆研究(therapeutic cloning)，对此作者是支持的，所以可知作者的语气是D“赞赏”。

Part V Translation (30 minutes, 10 points)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.

61． These collective changes in the content, character, and execution of China’s foreign policy over the past ten years represent an important evolution from Beijing’s narrow and reactive approach to global affairs in the 1980s and early 1990s. Yet potentially even more significant changes are now taking place. Within the last three years, and especially since September 11, 2001, the writings of Chinese strategists have begun to reflect a critical shift in their view of the international system and China’s role in it. For example, provocative articles have recently run in major Chinese newspapers and journals advocating that China abandon its long-held victim mentality. The writers reject the persistent emphasis on China’s “150 years of shame and humiliation” as the main lens through which Chinese view their place in modern international affairs. Influential Chinese analysts have begun to promote instead China’s adoption of a “great-power mentality. “ This emerging notion would replace Chinese victimhood with a confidence born of two decades of impressive economic growth.

正确答案： 20世纪80年代至90年代初期，中国对全球事务采取的措施是有限的、回应式的。在过去10年，中国外交在内容、特色以及实施这三个方面的转变代表了北京对以上策略的演变。目前，更具深意的转变正在进行之中。 在最近三年中，特别是自2001年9月11日以来，针对国际体系以及中国在其中所扮演的角色，中国战略学家开始刊发文章反映他们观点上的重大转变。例如，提倡中国抛弃长期怀有的受害者心态的鼓动性文章最近不断出现在中国主要报纸和杂志上。长期以来，中国一直强调应主要站在中国“150年的耻辱”这个视角来考虑它在现代国际事务中的地位，这些作者抛弃了这一观点。中国有影响的分析家开始转而提倡中国应该怀有“大国心态”。这个开始出现的概念将会使中国改变受害者心理，取而代之的则是20年来巨大的经济增长所带来的自信。

Part VI Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)

62． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 120 words under the title “What will Money Bring Us, Fortune or Misfortune?” Your composition should be based on the following story given in Chinese. Give at least two reasons to support your choice. 夺命之物 一栋住宅楼发生了大火，一个中年男子在大火中丧生。奇怪的是，他5岁的儿子明

明却逃了出来。有人问明明：“你是怎么逃出来的?”明明说：“我拿了一块湿毛巾捂住鼻子，贴在地上爬……”这是科学有效的逃生方法。 人们不解：“你爸爸不会这么做吗? 明明说：“会，是爸爸教我这么做的。爸爸和我一起爬到了门口，他说忘了一件东西，就又爬回去了。” 参加救火的消防员说，他们发现那具男尸时，他的手里紧紧地攥着一沓百元大钞。 于是，人们明白了：有一种东西杀人夺命，比大火还厉害。 (摘自《深圳青年》第3期上半月刊，作者廖均)

正确答案： What will Money Bring Us, Fortune or Misfortune? Along with our economy’ s fast development, people can earn much more money than before. However, a new topic of whether money can bring us fortune or misfortune arises in front of us. Some people believe that money will certainly bring us fortune while others disagree with it. After reading the story above I set me thinking deeply. The middle-aged man had chance to escape from the fire completely but he died in the fire because of money, while his son survived from the fire because he only wanted to escape. So I can say that it is misfortune that money brings us rather than fortune. Why is it misfortune that money brings us rather than fortune in some situations? I can give you two following reasons that will explain my opinion well. For one thing, the middle-aged man in the above story valued money much more than his life and finally he lost his life. The story clearly proved that money didn’t bring him fortune. For another, there are many reports in newspapers or TV set about some people who got a divorce from his wife or her husband after making a fortune. Even worse, some of them indulged themselves with drug, gambling or other illegal behaviors. To sum up, money is not the only goal we live for. Even if we’ve got a lot of money, it is unwise to let it to control us. Happiness isn’t equal to the quantity of money we own. Only when we know how to utilize money with a correct attitude, it can be regarded as a real fortune.
