3、e culture. To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives. A culture and its language are as necessary as brain and body: while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the othe
4、r. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning would be starting with the non-language elements of the language: its gestures, its body language, etc. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English saying goes, seeing eye-to-eye. W
5、e can never see eye to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes. 1. The best title for this passage is _.A.Organs of CultureB.Brain and BodyC.Looking into His EyesD.Language and Culture答案:D本题考查的是考生对全文主旨的把握，此题要求选择题目(title)。一般来讲，题目要求简单精炼，能概括文章主题或中心(subj
6、ect/theme)。英文文章讲求逻辑性，一般一段文字由主题句(topic sentence)和支撑句(supporting sentences)构成，且主题句多在段首。这段文字即为如此：首句是主题句，概述语言和文化的关系，接下来的几句具体论述。从In learning起，基于语言和文化的关系谈论如何学好外语。因此选D。2. According to this passage, the best way to learn a foreign language is _.A.to read the works of poets and philosophersB.to find a native
7、 speaker and look directly into his eyesC.to begin by learning its body languageD.to visit a country where you can study答案:C本题考查的也是考生对具体细节的理解。此类题要求回顾原文，答案对应文章的第六句话：In learning a foreign language, the best beginning would be starting with the non-language elements of the language: its gestures, its b
8、ody language, etc. 从这句中得出答案为C。3. According to this passage, gestures are _.A.spoken wordsB.a non-language elementC.pictures in a languageD.written language答案:B本题考查的也是考生对具体细节的理解。选B，理由同上。4. As many languages as one speaks, so many lives. means _.A.if one learns many foreign languages, one will have a
9、better understanding of his own languageB.life is richer and more interesting if one knows several languagesC.no matter how many languages one knows, one can never know more than ones own cultureD.if a person speaks only one language, he will live a very happy life答案:B本题考查的也是考生对具体句子的理解。所谓“词不离句，句不离段，
10、段不离篇”，因此要理解一句话的意思，就要把它放回原文，在上下文的语境中理解。这段文字论述语言和文化的关系，这句话的前后两句都在论述语言和文化的紧密联系，因此这句话就是在说：如果一个人懂多种语言，那他就了解了多种文化，生活就变得丰富多彩起来。另外也可从排除法的角度看。根据常识排除C、D。A、B中再根据以上分析作答。5. Which of the following doesnt share the same meaning with the others?A.Signs.B.Gestures.C.Efficient.D.Body language.答案:C本题考查的也是考生对具体细节的理解及常识
11、的把握。答案对应第六句话，由此可判断B、D属non-language elements根据常识判断A也是。因此选C。试题分析Passage 2 Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts (干旱) and floods. Unfortunately, man has not realized that the third of t
12、hese services is the most important. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build war ships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire, but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home-country found itse
13、lf faced by flood and starvation. (77) Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade villagers to see this. The villagers want wood to cook their food with; and they can earn money by selling wood. They are usually too lazy to pla
14、nt and look after the trees. (78) So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear. This does not only mean that the villagers children and grandchildren will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious, for where there are
15、trees their roots break the soil up allowing the rain to sink inand also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, causing flood. 1. What is the most important function of trees?A.Providing
16、 fuel.B.Offering shade.C.Preventing natural disaster.D.Providing wood.答案:C本题考查的是考生对具体细节的理解。答案对应于文章的第二段首句。这几段文字讲述了树木的三种作用，并在第二段指出第三种作用最重要，即Man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important，所以C正确。2. What eventually happened to the empire in the second paragraph?A.Its people d
17、ied of hunger.B.It fell to pieces.C.It became a giant empire.D.It built many ships with wood.答案:B本题考查的是考生对具体细节的理解。答案对应于文章的第二段 When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by flood and starvation. 有些考生可能会选A，但由这句看，帝国解体时，人民面临洪水和饥饿，而非人民全部死于饥饿。所以B正确。3. It is implied in the passage
18、that the villagersA.want a plentiful supply of treesB.want firewood badlyC.just want to get moneyD.dont realize the importance of trees答案:D本题考查的是考生的推断能力及对文章的理解。此题要求推断言外之意，解题方法同Passage 1的第四题。答案对应第三段第一句话：Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees，it is difficult fo
19、r it to persuade villagers to see this从这句对比来看，应选D。4. The role of trees is to _.A.loosen soilB.keep soil in positionC.harden soilD.both A and B答案:D本题考查的是考生的总结能力及对具体细节的理解。答案对应文章最后一段的第二句话：The results are even more serious, for where there are trees their roots break the soil up allowing the rain to sin
20、k inand also bind the soil. 这句概括树木的作用为松弛、固定土壤。也可走捷径，从连词also看应为两个作用，故选D。5. What is the passage mainly concerned withyA.The benefits of trees.B.Trees and soil protection.C.The various uses of trees.D.Different attitudes toward trees.答案:A本题考查的是考生对全文主旨的把握。解题方法类似主题概括或题目选择题，如Passage 1第一题。文章讲述了树木的重要作用或益处(b
21、enefits)，主要论述了树木在防止自然灾害方面的作用，故选A，B项只是其中一个方面，概括不全面。Passage 3 Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England. One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth point
22、s it, and a fifth gives it a head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or
23、 three of them. Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4 800 pins a worker. (79) But if all of them had worked separately and independently with- out division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one. There can be n
24、o doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, (80) but he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding econ
25、omies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they already have. 1. According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to _.A.take advantage of the physical laborB.introduce the division of labor into EnglandC.understa
26、nd the effects of the division of laborD.explain the bad causes of the division of labor答案:C本题考查的是考生对具体细节的把握。答案对应于文章的第一段第一句话：Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor.劳动分工的重要性也就是劳动分工对生产效率的作用、影响。所以C为正确答案。2. Adam Smith saw that the division of labor _.A.enabled
27、 each worker to design pins more quicklyB.increased the possible output per workerC.increased the number of people employed in factoriesD.improved the quality of pins produced答案:B本题考查的是考生对文章具体细节的把握及对全文的概括总结能力。答案对应于文章的第三段，通过数据史密斯说明了劳动分工极大地提高了生产效率。3. Adam Smith mentioned the number 4 800 in order to _
28、.A.show the advantages of the old labor systemB.stress how powerful the individual worker wasC.show the advantages of the division of laborD.stress the importance of increased production答案:C本题考查的是考生对文章具体细节的把握。通过12题分析，很容易得出答案。且A、B、D原文都明显没有提到。所以C为正确答案。4. According to the writer, Adam Smiths mistake wa
29、s in believing that the division of labor _.A.was an efficient way of organizing workB.was an important development in methods of productionC.finally led to economic developmentD.increased the production of existing goods答案:C本题考查的是考生对文章具体细节的把握。答案对应文章最后一段第二句话：but he also took it for granted that divi
30、sion of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development. 所以C为正确选项。5. According to the writer, which one of the following is NOT true?A.Division of labor can enable fewer people to make more pins.B.Division of labor helps people to produce more of what they already have.C.Division of
31、labor is by no means responsible for economic growth.D.Division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work.答案:C本题考查的也是考生对文章具体细节的把握。关键在by no means这个词组上。从上个句子看，劳动分工本身不能保证经济增长，但不能就因此说劳动分工根本不能促进经济增长。故选C项。Part Vocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For ea
32、ch sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.问题:1. He spent _ collecting materials for his article.A.a half yearB.half yearC.half a yearD.h
33、alf of a year答案:C本题考查的是“一半”的说法：half a/an+名词，比如半小时：half an hour。问题:2. To succeed in a scientific experiment, _.A.one needs being patient personB.patience is to needC.one needs to be patientD.patience is what needed答案:C本题考查的是独立主格中分句和主句的主语要一致。To succeed的主语是人而不能是patience。问题:3.

34、ople than is _ language except Chinese.A.anyB.any otherC.otherD.all other答案:B本题考查的固定搭配。表示除自己外任何一个用any other+名词单数。例如：China is larger than any other country in Asia. (因为中国属于亚洲)或： China is larger than any country in Africa. (因为中国不属于非洲)。问题:4. The dish _ terrible! I dont like it at all.A.tastesB.tastedC.
35、will tasteD.is tasted答案:A本题考查的是感官动词的系动词用法。诸如feel, taste, look, smell， sound等感官动词可以作系动词用。例如：She looks well today. (注意：此处well是形容词，表示身体好。)问题:5. She _ be iii because I saw her playing tennis just now.A.cantB.couldntC.mustntD.may not答案:A本题考查的是情态动词表推测的用法。对现在的推测用情态动词+动词原形，例如：用cant表示“肯定没”，而must表示“肯定”。本句意思是：
36、“她不可能生病，因为刚才我看到她打网球。”此处语气肯定，所以排除D选项may not (可能不)。C选项mustnt表示禁止做，如you mustnt drive while you are drunk. 你绝不可以酒后驾车。问题:6. Sorry, officer. I _ at 80 miles but I didnt see any sign in the area telling people how fast they can drive.A.should not driveB.shouldnt have drivenC.mustnt driveD.cant drive答案:B本题考
37、查的是情态动词表示虚拟语气的用法。shouldnt have done sth. 是典型的与事实相反的虚拟语气用法，意为我本不该做某事，却那样做了。题意为：“我本不该开到每小时80英里的时速，但是我没有看见这个地区有标示牌表示限速。”问题:7. Why not _ Professor Li for help?

38、today. Why not go for a walk? 今天天气不错，为什么不去散步呢?问题:8. It is not easy _ the answer to the difficult math problem.A.to figure outB.figuring outC.figure outD.being figured out答案:A本题考查的是it作形式主语，真正的主语是to do。这种句型很常见，例如：Its difficult to find a job these days. 如今找一份工作很难。问题:9. The tsunami (海啸) _ over 160 000 p
39、eople were killed was a terrible disaster for human beings.A.of thatB.among whichC.during thatD.in which答案:D本题考查的是定语从句中关系词与介词的搭配使用。在海啸中丧生的搭配为dead in the tsunami，因此应选D项，in which。问题:10. Take the medicine now. I believe it will _ your pain.A.releaseB.reliveC.rejectD.relieve答案:D本题考查的是形近词的辨析。这四个选项的单词拼写相似
40、，但意思不同：release释放；relive重生；reject拒绝；relieve缓解。根据题意，服药会缓解疼痛，很显然应选D。问题:11. How can you _ her offer?

She apologized
41、for _ to attend the meeting.A.her being not ableB.her to be not ableC.her not to be ableD.her not being able答案:D此处为固定语序，sb. s not doing sth.， not放于doing之前。此外还有固定用法apologize to sb for doing sth.,因为某事向某人道歉。问题:13. This new coat cost me _ the last one I bought two years ago.A.three timesB.three times as
42、 much asC.three times as muchD.three times much as答案:B和某物一样多，as much as，如说是多少的几倍，则是X times as much as。因此选B。问题:14. Each term our professors would _ a list of books for us to read.A.hand inB.give awayC.pass outD.write out答案:D本题考查动词短语辨析，hand in上交；give a way分发，放弃；pass out昏倒，死；write out写出。老师给学生写书单，应选D。问题
43、:15. I my wallet when I was shopping in the store. A. must have dropped B should have dropped C. could drop D. ought to have dropped 答案:A本题考查情态动词表推测的用法，must have done表示对过去情况的肯定推测。题意为我一定是在逛街的时候把钱包丢了，所以应选A。问题:16.

44、eft out答案:B本题考查leave的有关短语。leave alone不管；leave behind，留下，遗留；leave off停止，不再穿；leave out遗漏，不考虑。结合题意，你把钱包留在起居室里了，所以选B。问题:17.

A. could have led B would lead C. should have led D. must lead 答案:A本题考查情态动词表示虚拟语气的用法。与过去事实相反，是could/should have done，本可能/本应该做(但实
46、际没这样做)。因为是客观情况，不涉及是否应该，所以选择could have done。问题:19. The doctors advice was that the patient _ at once.A.to be operatedB.being operatedC.be operatedD.operated答案:C本题考查虚拟语气，advise, insist等动词后的从句用(should) do sth. 不用加to或变为动名词，其名词形式advice, insistence后面动词形式也一样。此题是被动形式，所以直接为be operated。问题:20. _ by the look on
47、 her face, she didnt catch what I meant.A.JudgingB.JudgedC.JudgeD.To judge答案:B从句子含义看应用被动形式。要选Judged而非Judging，因为应是 she was judged。问题:21. By no means _ our mistakes.A.we ought ignoreB.we ought to ignoreC.ought we ignoreD.ought we to ignore答案:D本题考查语序倒装。by no means决不。这一短语搭配和only一样，放在句首时后面的语序应该倒装，所以选D。问题:22. The teache
