4. A 句意：我打电话来咨询一下关于昨天《中国日报》上刊登的职位的信息。本题考查非谓语动词。the position与advertise之间是被动关系，此处的分词可以理解为一个定语从句which was advertised。
5. B 句意：“你介意我打开门吗？”“不介意，开吧。”go ahead去吧，做吧。
6. C 句意：那份报告中的统计数字是不准确的，你不应该参考它们。delicate纤细的，病弱的；rigid死板的，僵硬的；accurate精确的，准确的；fixed固定的。

答案与解析
Ⅰ. 1. C 句意：那个报告中的统计数字是不精确的，你不应该参考它们。A项意为“纤细的；病弱的”；B项意为“死板的；僵硬的”；D项意为“固定的”；C项意为“精确的”，最符合题意。
2. B accurate 精确的；exact一模一样的，正好的；correct正确的；definite确定的。
3. B 分析句子结构可以看出，空格内应填入动词，而A、C、D三项都是名词。
4. C edition（书、杂志等的）版本，section（报纸、杂志等的）栏目，（文件、书等的）节、款、项、段。由of the chapter 可知，与the final搭配表达的意思不是“最后的版本”，而是“最后的一节”。句意为“我还没读过该章最后的一节”。
5. C 根据句意“警察不得不动用武力来驱散人群”可知，应选择表示“利用”意思的动词。
6. B 根据题意，employ所表示的动作与句子主语you之间为动宾关系，又根据答语“Since 1990.”可知，应用现在完成时。
7. B 前一分句应理解为“滚烫的盘子将会损害这张餐桌的光泽”，由此可知应选polish，在句子中作名词。
8. B 本题中指人的行为举止的“文雅”，应用polished。
9. D 本题考查词语辨析，应从“重要性”的角度去理解才能明确它们的差别。
10. C principal和chief都可表示“主要的”，而principal侧重于其地位，显得正式，不符合语境。故选C项。
11. A 解答本题应考虑ship-building在产业范围比较中所占据的地位。
12. B approve of doing sth.表示“同意/赞成做某事”，而agree with后常接sb.或表观点的词。

14. D process“过程”，符合题意。
15. B fix one’s attention on 是固定短语，意为“集中注意力于……”，his attention与fix之间为被动关系，因此用过去分词。
16. B make for （v.+ prep.）朝……前进，有利于；set out开始，出发，动身等；take off 拿去，去掉，脱（衣帽等），起飞，夺去（生命等）；turn up 出现，露面，证明是，卷起，折起等。句意为“自从这个科学家开始从事于发现有价值的化学制品以来，已经十年了”。句中的on 表示“从事”，of表示同位关系。

18.D employment受雇，符合题意。
19. C 此处表示一般情况的“程序，过程”。

答案与解析
Ⅰ. 1. edition 2. department
3. accurate 4. senior
5. polishing 6. chief
7. approve 8. appointment
Ⅱ.1. to→on 2. with→of
3. By→In
4. with→of或accused→charged
5. handed→hand 6. us前加of
7. in→on 8. first→last
Ⅲ. 1. D 句意为“小偷被迫走在警察前面”。walk ahead of sb.“走在某人的前面”；front常用于in front of短语中。
2. C 句意为“我把窗户打开你会介意吗？”“一点儿也不，开吧”。go ahead 是口语用语，意思是“干吧，去吧”。
3. A pass…on to 为固定搭配，意思是“把……传给”；B项中的for 应该改为to；C项中的on应该去掉；D项搭配不对。句意为“请你把这本词典传给玛丽，好吗?”
4. A polish“润色”；rewrite“改写”；look through“浏览”；look into “调查”。根据常识可知A项最佳。句意为“如果你把这篇文章润色一下，我们就在报纸上发表它”。
5. A last of all “最后”，相当于finally，在句中作插入语；in the end和at last同义，多用于过去，也可指对将来的预测；at the end 通常和of搭配使用，意思是“在……的结尾，在……结束的时候”。
6. B in chief为固定搭配，意思是“主要的，在首席地位的”，the editor in chief为“主编”；A项应该去掉of。句意为“主编删去了最后一段”。
7. D 从语意上看，这四个选项都有选择的可能，但它们的搭配形式不同：agree to do sth.“同意做某事”；promise (sb.) to do sth.“答应（某人）做某事”；allow sb. to do sth./allow doing sth.“允许某人做某事/允许做某事”；approve of （sb.） doing sth.“同意/赞成（某人）做某事”。因此，D项为本题正确答案。句意为“我很高兴，我父母已经同意我买一辆新车”。
8. A work on为固定搭配，意思是“致力于，从事”；B项中to是不定式符号，后面应该接动词原形；C、D两项语意不符。句意为“科学家们正致力于将载人飞船送上火星”。
9. B 本题考查形近词辨析。progress“进步”；process“加工，处理，过程，程序，步骤”；princess“公主”；success“成功”。intend to 中的to为动词不定式符号，后面跟动词原形，这四个选项中只有B项用作动词，故本题正确答案为B项。句意为“贵公司想加工哪类产品？”
10. A ahead of time 为固定搭配，意思是“提前”；in advance为“预先”之意，单独使用，不和time搭配。句意为“如果我们保持这个速度，我们将提前完成任务”。
11. C be supposed to have done相当于should have done，表示“本应该做……”，含有责备的意味。
12. C in case“万一，以防”；approve of “赞成，赞同”。句意为“她不想带新男朋友回家，以防她的父母不赞成”。
13. C be employed to do sth.“被雇用干某事”；A项通常和with搭配；B、D两项通常和in搭配。句意为“已雇用了一些人来处理积压的工作”。
14. D relate…to…与combine…with…同义，意思是“把……与……联系起来”。句意为“我难以将他的所为和所言联系起来”。
15. B 在表示地点的副词或某些介词短语开头的句子里，句子应全部倒装，以示强调；stand指较高东西的“矗立”。
16. C 由so, neither, nor引起的句子，表示前面的情况也适用于另一人或另一物时，应采用部分倒装。
17. D What if…?的意思是“倘使……将会怎么样?”，该句补充完整后应该是What should/will you do if you should fail？
Ⅳ. One possible version:
On Mother’s Day, our school held an activity called “Thank Parents and Work Hard” for the purpose of making students understand their parents. The film Mother Love Me Once Again was put on, which moved all the students to tears and made them know how great a mother’s love was. After watching the movie, all the students wrote their parents a letter of thanks, which the school mailed. Also, the school called on all the students to help their parents do housework, save pocket money, form the habit of living independently and study hard. In brief, so meaningful was this activity that such activities are now expected to be held regularly. It is believed that students will benefit a lot from such activities.

The first newspapers were written by hand and put up on walls in public places. The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700's the world's first printed newspaper was published. Europe didn't have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.
?The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant （每日新闻）. It came out in March 1702.
? In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter （波斯顿新闻通讯）, the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States.
Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Dhimbun （朝日新闻）. It sells more than eleven million copies every day.

Ⅲ. 1. D 句意：通常学生饥饿时无法集中注意力于学习。insist on坚持；consist of由……组成；persist in坚持；concentrate on集中注意力于……
2. D 考查副词辨析。句意：吉姆去接电话，与此同时，哈里开始准备午餐。however然而；nevertheless尽管如此；besides另外，此外；meanwhile与此同时。前后两个句子是并列的语意关系，在时间上表示同时，所以用meanwhile。
3. C 句意：经理指责旅馆的一位服务员偷钱。accuse sb. of doing sth.指控、指责某人做某事。
4. C 前一句句意：为免遭责怪，他为自己所做的事情作出了道歉。so as to和in order to均可用于句尾，表目的，它们的否定形式为so as not to和in order not to，故排除A、B两项；结合第二空格be blamed for“因……而受责备”可知应选C项。
5. C 句意：这位官员要求这样的事情应该被阻止再次发生。demand后接宾语从句时，宾语从句要用虚拟语气，即should +v.原形，should可省略，故排除A、D两项，再结合句意可知应用被动语态，故选C项。
6. C 句意：在澳大利亚发现了黄金，这件事使成千上万的人相信他们一定会发财的。结合时态可排除A、D两项；B项应为would be made；C项be to do sth.“注定会做某事，一定会做某事”，符合句意。
7. C 句意：当他醒来时，他发现自己被一群村民包围着。考查“find+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。himself与surround之间为被动关系，因此用过去分词形式。
8. D 句意：请你告诉我最新的消息好吗？keep sb. informed of sth.告知某人某事，使某人了解某事的情况。
9. D 考查动词assist的用法。帮助某人（做）某事的表达方式：assist sb. in doing sth.=assist sb. to do sth.=assist sb. in/with sth.。
10. B 句意：青海玉树发生了可怕的大地震，在那种情况下，我们于2010年4月21日停止了任何娱乐活动。考查非限制性定语从句，故B项正确。
11. C 句意：为了精通英语，他放弃了工作，去一所英语学校学习。考查动词词义辨析。require需要，要求；inquire询问，打听；address写（收信人）姓名地址，致函；acquire a good knowledge of精通，熟知。
12. D 句意：我很高兴去年冬天被任命为学生会主席。be delighted to do sth.很高兴做某事。由时间状语last winter可知动作发生在过去，故排除A、B两项；而I与appoint之间为被动关系，故排除C项；D项to have been appointed为不定式的完成被动式，符合句意。
13. B 句意：他一开始讲我就听出来有地方错了。no sooner位于句首时主句要部分倒装，并且主句多用过去完成时态。
14. A 句意：这名店员因为被控告欺骗顾客而被开除了。accuse sb. of doing sth.指控、控告某人做某事，charge sb. with sth., scold sb. for sth.，D项意思不对，因此选A。
15. D 句意：汤姆说话时没有人反应，所以他在继续之前故意停顿了一下来吸引我们的注意力。faithfully忠实地，诚心诚意地；eagerly迫切地；sincerely真诚地；deliberately故意地。由句意可知D项正确。
16. C 句意：经理要求他在报告中提到的数据应立刻发送电子邮件给安德鲁先生。
17. D 句意：为了让我们的城市变绿，我们必须多植树。in order to引导目的状语时，不定式的逻辑主语和句子的主语必须一致，故D项正确。
18. C 句意：工程师们最终将方案递交给董事会批准。submit…to…把……递交给；admit承认；permit允许；commit承诺，保证。
19. B 句意：计算机被应用在教学中，因此，不仅节省了老师的精力，而且学生们对课程更感兴趣了。not only… but (also)…连接两个并列分句时，若not only位于句首，前一个分句要部分倒装，而后一个分句不倒装，即把前一个分句中的系动词、助动词或情态动词提前。故B项正确。
20. A 句意：“明天你能来看我吗?”“那要视情况而定。”It depends.视情况而定。
21. D 句意：驾驶时，司机应该把精力集中在路上。concentrate on集中精力于，因此第一空填on；第二空考查状语从句的省略，补充完整应为when (he is) driving。故D项正确。
22. A 句意：只有正确饮食，你才能保持身体健康。“only+状语”位于句首时，主句用部分倒装语序；若使用unless，主句不能倒装，且应在you will后加上not。故选A。

答案与解析
1. A occupy oneself in（doing） sth.意为“从事于/忙于（做）某事”。
2. D 句意：“你父亲做什么工作，小王？”“他的职业是律师。”该题考查名词辨析及搭配。by profession为固定搭配，故选D项。
3. B 该题考查名词辨析。do a good job=do well in one’s work, 指“工作做得好”。work 为不可数名词，前面不能加冠词；occupation为“职业”之意；profession也为“职业”之意。
4. D 5. A 6. C
7. B 表示“某人卷入……中”用短语be/get involved in。由于空格中要求是非谓语形式，且充当主语的定语，故用involve的过去分词。
8. A 解答本题可以从理解题意入手，很显然句意应理解为“学生应总是想学习”，而不是“对学习感到好奇”，只能说“对某些方面的知识感到好奇”。be curious to do“很想做”，be curious about doing “对做……感到好奇”，由此可以认定该结构应为be curious to do。
9. A of one’s own“某人自己的”，符合题意。
10. D concentrate on 专注于；fix吸引（注意）；chew on（为尝味道）不停地咀嚼；taste品尝。句意为“大约一个小时后，我决定放弃那部电影，集中注意力到我的爆米花上”。
11. B 对话的情景可理解为孩子因为找不到袜子而问妈妈，而妈妈则鼓励他自己找，并且说如果他用心找的话，没准就在眼前。与本题题意相符的短语为under one’s nose。
12. A turn up one’s nose at 表示“对……嗤之以鼻”。
13.B 首先分析选项的含义，A项意为“共同地”；B项意为“偶然地”；C项意为“匆忙地”；D项意为“平均地”。然后考虑句意，全句应理解为“不要对他生气，他只是偶尔犯错误”。
14.D 句意：我们的大礼堂可以容纳五千人。我们的校会通常在那里举行。从所给选项看，只有admit能表达此意。
15. C 本题主句的意思应理解为“他被北京大学录取了”，符合题意的词是admit，构成短语be admitted to。
16. C 本题A项有较强的干扰性，而题意表示“通过努力而获得”。
17. A inquire sth. of sb.“向某人询问、打听某事”。
18. D 本题中practice意为“惯例，习俗”，故空格内所填词的词义要求为“流行，通行”。obtain可作不及物动词，指规则、风俗等的通行、流行。
19. B 将两个分句的意思连贯起来理解，“我上了大学，同时，我所有的朋友都得到了收入颇丰的工作”。D项不符合题意；A项和C项中的介词用错。
20. B 本题为词义理解题。句意为“我认为她伤害了我的感情，是故意地，而不是她所声称的偶然地”。只有B项符合句意。
21. A 第一空格内的词应与put搭配，构成表达“提出”意思的短语，后一空格内的词与worth有关，修饰worth的词应是well。
22. C 分析句子结构可知，因本句前后分别是两个句子，而只用一个逗号，所以空格处要引导非限制性定语从句且意为“假使那样”。that 不能引导非限制性定语从句，也不能用在介词后，which则可以。
23. C 句意为“以防发生火灾，所有的出口必须保持畅通无阻”。A项意为“代替”；B项意为“而不是；代替”；C项意为“万一；以防”；D项意为“尽管”。
24. C 句意：这个士兵被指控临阵逃脱。accuse指控，控告，可构成短语accuse sb. of doing sth.。
25. B 据题意知警察指控他超速，charge与accuse都有“指控；指责”的意思，但charge与with 搭配；blame责备，与for搭配；accuse，warn都与of搭配，但warn sb. of ...警告某人注意……，在此与题意不符，故选B项。
26. D 句中逗号后面的部分应视为伴随状语，由此排除A、B两项；又由于prepare for意为“为……做准备”，在此不符合句意，故排除C项。
27. B 根据句意和I would be doing 可以判断本句是虚拟语气。尽管主句是现在的情况，但at the age of seven 是表示过去的时间状语，故if 从句中的谓语要用过去完成时，表示对过去情况的假设，排除A、C、D三项。
28. B 表示否定意义的副词位于句首时，句子需要部分倒装。本题中“Not until the motorbike looked almost new”放在句首，故其主句要部分倒装。
29. D 当not only...but also...连接两个句子的时候，not only 后的分句要用部分倒装结构，即将谓语的一部分放在主语前面，但but also后面的分句不倒装。
30. C 本题因副词up置于句首，其主语和谓语应完全倒装。B项是部分倒装结构；A项的时态不符合。
31. B 句意：你说人人应当平等，而这正是我不同意的地方。空格处意为“……的地方”，排除A、D两项。agree/disagree是不及物动词，我们不能说agree sth. ，而应说agree with/to/on sth.,因此从句不缺宾语，而需要状语，故排除C项。
32. B 根据宾语从句的内容，此处动词应表示“弄清楚，查明”。
33. C 指“交通事故”应该是accident。
34. A on one’s own=(by) oneself“独立地”，符合题意；of one’s own“属于某人自己的”，与题意不符。
35. B feel/be curious about 意为“对……感到好奇”。
36. B 本题是完全倒装结构，句子的主语是two large portraits。
37. D 表示否定含义的副词置于句首时，句子要部分倒装。此处指got动作发生之前的情况，故用过去完成时。
38. C 前一分句中主语是everything, he...为定语从句，因为not only 前置，所以该分句要部分倒装。
39. B prove可用作及物或者不及物动词，此处表示“向你证明”，应加介词to。
40. C remind sb. of sth.意为“提醒某人某事”。
41. A concentrate (sth.)on sth.为固定短语，意为“集中……于……”。
42. B 本题中involve意为“需要”，其他选项不合题意。
43. A admit of sth.意为“容许有……”。
44. D concentrate ...on/upon...为固定搭配；what引导宾语从句，且在从句中作宾语。
45. C 此处表示与现在事实相反的假设，故从句用一般过去时，主句用过去将来时。
46. A 此处用副词形式作状语，表示“故意地”。
47. A 根据句意可知应选择表示“同时”的过渡语。
48. B 根据句意可知，咖啡在最初不被人喜欢，故其味道是通过喝惯了以后才能品尝到的。
49. C 表示否定意义的词或者词组not, no, few, little, hardly, scarcely, never, no longer, by no means 等置于句首时，其后要用倒装句式；结合问句可知，应用现在完成时。

Ⅲ. 1. C 问句中的do you think是插入语，提问的是主语部分，故答语应该用名词、代词或动名词结构。答语是一个省略句，完整的句子应该为：Losing her bicycle made Mary so upset.
2. B suppose可用作连词，意思是“假如，倘若”，相当于if，引导条件状语从句。C项如果改为On condition that也正确。句意为“假如你有100万美元，你会做什么?”
3. C be supposed to do sth.为固定搭配，意思是“应该（理应）做某事”。句意为“根据规定，我们不应该在公共汽车上吸烟”。由句意可知题干是一个否定句，故选C。
4. D suppose和supposing都有“倘若，假使”的意思，引导条件状语从句；on condition that是固定搭配，意思是“如果”。因此本题答案为D项。句意为“如果他不来，我们不带他就走吗?”
5. B get involved with为固定搭配，意思是“涉足，关注”；第二个空用介词for表示“为了……”。句意为“他还涉足慈善工作，以改善所有残疾人的生活质量”。
6. A seldom为副词，意为“很少”。具有否定意义的副词置于句首时，句子的主谓部分要采用倒装语序。根据时间状语now可确定用现在完成时，表示从过去的某时开始一直延续到现在的情况，即表示从过去到现在很少像现在这么孤独。
7. B hardly为具有否定意义的副词，置于句首时，所在句子的主谓部分应采用倒装语序。hardly…when为固定搭配，意思是“一……就……”。句意为“他一进房间，电话铃就响了”。
8. A admire sb. for sth.为固定用法，意思是“因某事而钦佩某人”；contribution后面通常接介词to，表示“对……的贡献”。句意为“我们因那位老科学家对国家所做出的贡献而钦佩他”。
9. A 句意为“她总是对着镜子自我欣赏！”。admire 除表示“钦佩”外，还有“欣赏”的意思；respect“尊敬”；enjoy oneself“玩得高兴”；behave oneself“规矩点”。在本句中，she和admire之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作状语。
10. D discover“发现”；recover“恢复”；uncover“揭露”；cover“报导，采访”。句意为“来自中央电视台的一个记者被派到海地报导发生在2010年1月12日下午的地震”。
11. B cover“行过（路程）”；recover“恢复”。句意为“他一天走了40英里，筋疲力尽，但不久就恢复了他的体力”。
12. A submit“递交，呈递（文件等）”；B、C两项应该分别改为hand in和turn in后才有“呈交”的意思。句意为“开发商把施工方案提交给议会以求批准”。
13. D give in“屈服”，为不及物动词短语，后面不能跟宾语；give up“放弃”；submit to “屈服”。句意为“她是一个意志坚强的人，从不向失败屈服”。
14. A be eager for 为固定用法，意思是“渴望”；B项应该改为longing，long for也有“渴望”的意思；没有hope for sb. to do sth.的搭配。句意为“他渴望他的父母去见他的女朋友”。
15. C eager强调对成功的渴望，含有积极的意味；anxious强调“担心，忧虑”，对结果感到不安。句意为“她渴望上大学，但是担心通不过入学考试”。
16. D be ambitious of“渴望”；worried“担心的”；anxious “担忧的”；be eager for “渴望”。
17. C assist (sb.) in doing sth.为固定用法，意思是“帮助（某人）做某事”。句意为“你将被要求去帮助准备一个报告”。
18. B concentrate sth. on sth.为固定用法，意思是“集中……于某事”。句意为“如果你不专心致力于工作，你就会失去工作的”。
19. D focus one’s attention on 意思是“把注意力集中在……上”。句意为“考试时，你应该把注意力集中在试卷上”。
20. D concentration“专注；专心”，attention“注意力”，这两个名词通常和介词on搭配；attraction“吸引力，吸引人的事物”，后面通常跟介词to。句意为“过度专注于问题的一面是危险的”。
21. B 具有否定意义的副词或副词短语置于句首作状语时，句子的主谓部分要用倒装语序。not only…but also连接两个并列分句时，如果not only放在句首，倒装部分只是not only引导的分句，but also所在分句不采用倒装语序。
22. D 四个选项均有“得到，获得”的意思，但acquire强调通过不断的、持续的努力而获得某物，也指日积月累地渐渐地获得。经验应该是日积月累地渐渐地获得的，故D项最佳。句意为“他们逐渐获得了指导这项工作的经验”。
23. A assess“评估，评定”；value“评价，重视”，侧重指一般人对某物的价值或价格所作的估计；rate“估计，评定等级”，专指评定价值等级的高低；estimate“评估，估价”，通常指由个人作出的主观评价。句意为“对政府官员进行考核是非常重要的。”
24. B keep sb. informed of sth.意为“告知某人某事”。
25. D by no means意思是“决不”，放在句首时，句子要用倒装语序。keep sb. informed of sth.意为“告知某人某事”。
26. C bring to mind“想起，记起”；make up one’s mind 后面通常接不定式，意思是“下定决心做某事”；没有learn in heart的搭配，learn by heart有“记住”的意思；keep in mind意为“记住”。句意为“所有父母都应该记住的一件事就是让他们的孩子们远离热火炉”。
27. B when和while引导时间状语从句；during为介词；meanwhile为副词，意思是“在此期间”。句意为“宴会将在7点开始，在此期间，让我们做些准备工作吧”。
28. D 句意为“这棵植物也许会长到几米高，要视土壤条件而定”。depend on与前面描述的情况存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词短语作条件状语。
29. C 根据第一句所提供的情景“你要待多久？”以及答语“我不知道”可知对方不确定自己待多久，只能“视情况而定”。That’s OK.意为“行，好吧”；Never mind.和It doesn’t matter.意为“不要紧，没关系”，常用来回答I’m sorry.或Sorry. It/That depends.意为“视情况而定”，符合语境。
30. A the tricks of the trade 是固定用法，意思是“（内行人的）诀窍”。句意为“如果你想自己做汽车生意，你应该向他讨教，他对这行的诀窍完全清楚”。
31. B 横线后面为定语从句，修饰先行词cases。定语从句中不缺少主语、宾语，case通常用来表示抽象地点，故用where引导定语从句。
32. C as long as“只要”；in order that“目的是”，引导目的状语从句时，主、从句的主语须一致；in case“万一，以防”；so that“以便”。句意为“约翰或许今晚打电话，我不想出去，以防他打来”。根据语境，C项最佳。
33. B 前面说“明天有大雨”，由此可推断出“在那种情况下，远足将被推迟”。case通常和介词in搭配，因此用in which case 引导非限制性定语从句。
34. A A、B、C三项均有“指控，指责，责备”的意思，但搭配不同，分别为accuse sb. of， charge sb. with和scold sb. for; curse at sb./sth.意为“诅咒（咒骂）某人/某事”。
35. C accuse sb. of或charge sb. with 为固定搭配，意思是“控告某人……”。句意为“那名收税员被指控向几个店主勒索钱财”。
36. A on purpose“故意地，有意地”；by accident“偶然地，意外地”。句意为“瞧！电话坏了，有人故意损坏的”。“也许是，但也许是偶然坏的”。
37. C in order to和so as to都可引导目的状语，但礼物是“被收到”，因此应该用动词不定式的被动语态，故答案为C项。
38. C “她小声谈话”的目的应该是“不吵醒她的妹妹”，因此用否定形式，故排除A、B两项；动词不定式的否定形式是在to前加not，故答案为C项。
39. C 根据语境，可首先排除D项，unless为“除非”的意思；A、B两项后面跟动词原形；in order that后面跟从句，意思是“为了”。句意为“妇女们给树浇水是为了让树长得好”。
40. D in a dilemma为固定搭配，意思是“左右为难”；at a loss也是固定搭配，意思是“困惑，不知所措”；B项形式不对，应该改为wondering。句意为“是继续求学还是找工作，她感到难以决定”。
41. B demand后接宾语从句，从句中的谓语常用“should+动词原形”形式，should可以省略；regardless of “不管，不顾，不考虑”。句意为“政府官员们要求医生们尽最大努力挽救那些受伤的警察的生命，不管费用是多少”。
42. C demand后面所接的名词性从句用虚拟语气，谓语用“should+动词原形”形式，其中should可以省略。“信息”是“被发出”，故使用被动语态。句意为“我的要求是，立刻把我的报告中提到的信息发给布朗先生”。
43. D publish, put out 和come out 都有“出版”的意思，但publish和put out为及物动词（短语），应该使用被动语态，come out 为不及物动词短语。句意为“那本字典什么时候出版?”
44. C accuse sb. of “因……指责或控告某人”。句意为“那个警察被指控错误地射杀了一个人”。
45. A concentrate on“全神贯注于”；be/get absorbed 通常和介词in搭配。
46. A not only…but (also)连接两个并列分句，not only位于句首时，其所在分句采用部分倒装语序。
47. A so as to和in order to 同义，均可引导不定式作目的状语，但so as to不放在句首；deny和refuse都有“否认；拒绝”的意思，但deny后常接动名词，refuse后常接不定式作宾语。
48. C only 修饰介词短语作状语，且位于句首，句子应部分倒装。
49. C 表示“养成……的习惯”，可用form/get into/acquire a habit of，结合句中的时间状语since his childhood，应用现在完成时。
50. C assist sb. in doing sth.“帮助某人做某事”；provide“提供”；encourage“鼓励”；persuade“说服”。句意为“他要求我们帮助他们执行这个计划”。
51. B demand后面的宾语从句中，谓语应该使用“should+动词原形”形式的虚拟语气。
52. A in case“以防，万一”，引导条件状语从句。句意为“我去诊所时总是带本书看，以防我得等候”。
53. B by profession 是固定短语，意思是“就职业来说；在职业上”。

An Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume （简历） and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues （问题）, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He said he has a great assignment （分工）, and you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, where it can be played, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists—everyone—is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.
36. What does the writer think of the reporter?
A. Optimistic. B. Imaginative.
C. Ambitious. D. Proud.
37. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A. Finding the new value of his stories.
B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues.
D. Improving his good ideas.
38. Who probably wrote the letter?
A. An editor. B. An artist.
C. A reporter. D. A reader.
39. The letter aims to remind editors that they should __________.
A. keep their best reporters at all costs
B. give more freedom to their reporters
C. be aware of their reporters' professional development
D. appreciate their reporters' working styles and attitudes

Brave Frenchman Found Half-way Around the World
（NEW YORK） A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn’t think twice before diving into the freezing East River.
Tuesday’s Daily News said 29-year who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.
He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Scaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dive in after him.
“I didn’t think at all,”Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”
Duret, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his girlfriend along the pier（码头） when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.
When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.
Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.
The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn’t realize his tale of heroism, and had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the next morning.
“I don’t really think I’m a hero,” said Duret.“Anyone would do the same thing.”
40. Why was Duret in New York？
A. To meet his girlfriend.
B. To work as an engineer.
C. To spend his holiday.
D. To visit the Andersons.
41. What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?

C. He went to the hospital in the ambulance.
D. He disappeared from the spot quickly.
42. Who dived after Duret into the river to save the little girl?

C. His girlfriend. D. A taxi driver.
43. When was Duret most probably found to be the very hero?

B. A couple of days after the girl was rescued.
C. The first day when he was in New York.
D. The same day when he was interviewed.

Who says Americans worship the almighty dollar？It's not true. Having enough free time is more important to most Americans than being rich, according to a new poll.
Only 13 percent of more than 2,400 people questioned in the telephone poll ranked being wealthy as most important to them, while 67 percent ranked free time as their top priority, higher than having a successful career, getting married, and having children. "Everyone wants free time to do the things they want to do, young, middle-aged or old," said Richard Morin, of the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project, which conducted the survey. "So our desire to play unites us. "
The poll also showed that people who were university educated valued career success over wealth, so did middle-aged people. Not surprisingly, those who didn't have money, ranked wealth very highly. This included minorities, first generation Americans and less educated people. The survey also revealed that a disproportionate（不成比例的） number of people under the age of 30 and retirees in the group made ＄20,000 or less a year. But the emphasis on wealth lessens with age, with younger people putting value on it but hardly any seniors. "It just diminishes with time as the reality sets in that you would never be rich," Morin said. "But also, the reality sets in that you don't have to be rich to lead a very comfortable and fulfilling life. "
While wealth was not at the top of people's list of priorities, 43 percent still said it was somewhat important.
44. The poll showed that the majority of American people ranked ________ as the most important.
A. wealth B. a successful career
C. marriage D. free time
45. Who cares least for wealth, according to the passage?
A. Young people. B. Middle-aged people.
C. Old people. D. Well-educated people.
46. According to the poll, middle-aged people regarded ______ as more important.
A. success in career B. education level
C. wealth D. comfort
47. The underlined word "diminishes" in the third paragraph probably means __________.
A. increases B. decreases
C. changes D. stays
D
Researchers, policy makers and activists are busy preparing for the International AIDS Conference. The next conference begins Sunday in Vienna, Austria. On Tuesday, the Obama administration announced its National HIV/AIDS Strategy. The plan aims to reduce new HIV infections by twenty-five percent within five years. It also aims to make sure infected patients get treatment more quickly.
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. The government says sixty-five percent of Americans who discover they are infected get treatment within three months. The new plan calls for increasing that to eighty-five percent. Thirty million dollars from the health care reform law is to go to support prevention activities, including expanded HIV testing.
Over one million Americans are living with the virus, out of an estimated thirty-three million people worldwide.
Last week, government scientists in the United States announced the discovery of two antibodies （抗体）that raise hopes for an AIDS vaccine（疫苗）. They say these antibodies can stop more than ninety percent of all known strains of HIV. Antibodies are proteins that the body makes to help protect itself against infection. Researchers made the discovery at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The director of its Vaccine Research Center, Gary Nabel, says each antibody blocks the virus from attaching to white blood cells.
The UN AIDS agency gives credit to proper measures. It says young people in Africa are waiting longer to have sex. They are also having fewer sexual partners. And they are increasingly using condoms（安全套）. The agency says with the methods HIV rates are falling in sixteen of the twenty-five hardest-hit countries in Africa.
48. All of the following about the Obama administration’s National HIV Strategy is true EXCEPT __________.
A. It aims to cut down the number of new infections on a large scale
B. It aims to put 65% of infected Americans into the quick treatment system
C. It ensures the quick treatment of the Americans who get infected
D. It supports prevention activities, including expanded HIV testing
49. Americans suffering from HIV make up about __________ of all the people living with the virus worldwide.
A. 1 / 10 B. 1 / 20
C. 1 / 30 D. 1 / 40
50. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The preventive measures and its result in Africa.
B. The appropriate age to sex in Africa.
C. The legal number of sexual partners in Africa.
D. The proper ways of using condoms.

7. B 句意：“作为其中一个爱好，我一直在研究园艺学。我能提供些建议吗？”“说吧。”You will make it.你会成功的。Go right ahead.说吧，做吧；Don’t mention it.不客气；Take it easy.不要着急。由句意可知B项正确。
8. C 9. A
10. C 考查固定搭配。charge sb. with sth.与accuse sb. of sth. 都是固定搭配，表示“指控某人做某事”。
11. C
12. B 句意：会议将在八点钟开始。在此期间让我们做些准备工作吧。meanwhile副词，在此期间。
13. B 14. D
15. A 句意：据报道，中东地区爆发了很多战争。你对那儿的形势作何估计？assessment评定，估算；adjustment调整，调节；appointment约定，任命；assistance帮助。
Ⅱ.16. B 前面的an unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking与后面的encouraging and inspiring之间是转折关系，因此需填转折连词。四个选项中A项表并列，C项表结果，D项表原因，只有B选项yet表转折。
17. A 第二段第二句话“她想知道我认为我们该怎样________ 事情”直接提示了这个空应该选“opinion（观点）”这个词。第二段倒数第四句话中也出现了这个词，从而验证了其正确性。impression印象，information信息，intention意图，这三项均不符合题意。
18. C 根据文章主旨可知应选择handle。handle有两种词性，名词是“柄、把”，动词是“处理”，这里考查后者。make 做，创造，keep 保持，change 改变，这三项均不符合题意。
19. D 起初我不知道如何回答，因为我对舞台设计“一无所知”。know nothing about sth.对某事一无所知。
20. A 解题关键词是本句中的“respond回答、响应”，线索是第二段第一句中的“ask提问”及第三句中的“answer回答”，因此这里填“questions问题”。B、D两项是评论，C项是解释，这三项均不符合题意。
21. D 本句中的them指代opinions。form opinions形成观点；hold opinions持有观点。根据文意推断作者开始并没有观点，由于她相信我有观点所以我形成了观点，强调形成这个过程，另外begin to后接有变化感的词，故选form不选hold。follow遵照，evaluate评估，这两项与题意差别较大。
22. C 解题线索在后半句“so I began to show up to paint more and more”。作者画得越来越多是Mrs. Neidl信任的结果，说明我是个可依赖的人，C项符合题意。其他三个选项：happy高兴的，lively生气勃勃的，punctual准时的，都不能表达出这种合理的因果关系。
23. B 引号里的内容是鼓励性的话，说明这句话是她的motto（座右铭）。迷惑性较大的C选项saying（谚语），saying往往是人们长期形成的对生活及经验的总结，强调群体性及时间性，故不合适；message信息，suggestion建议，不合题意。
24. D 本题难度较大，解题关键词是介词“over”，表示覆盖。此处可以理解为“如果没有画好，稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上”。more更多，instead代替，不合题意。迷惑性最大的是again，表示“再一次、又一次”，但是放在这里与over意思重复，paint over it later相当于paint it again，故不选A。
25. D take risks是固定搭配，意为“冒险”。通读全文可知作者是起初很不自信，第四段开头也提示了作者“shy”，“quiet”，因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险，是自我突破的过程，文章最后一段也提到了take chances（冒险），因此选D。take steps是“采取措施、步骤”的意思，与文章主题不符，control和charge都有“控制”的意思，不合题意。
26. A improve upon改进。线索是本段开头的座右铭“试试吧，我们永远可以重画一次！”。因此不存在失败，只存在改进。act upon按照，对……起作用，look upon看待，考虑，reflect upon考虑，回顾，均不符合题意。
27. C 本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程，前文提到作者曾很不自信，后来在Mrs. Neidl的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔，因此选confidently。easily容易地，作者超越自我的过程并不容易；carefully小心地，创作并不是个小心翼翼的过程；proudly骄傲地，文章中没有任何体现。
28. B be recognized as“被公认为，被承认是”。introduce“介绍，引入”，be identified as“被确定是”，有验证身份的意思，be considered as“被认为，被当作”。其中be recognized as有“被大家承认，被普遍接受”的意思，表意更准确。
29. C 解题关键词是wanted。作者意识到自己想要的是什么，所以用realized。迷惑项是decided。可以说决定要什么，但不可以说决定想什么，因为想法是不可控制的。confirm证实，acknowledge承认，这两项与题意差别较大。
30. A being with sb.与某人在一起。这里不能选of，因为由全文第一句话可知，Mrs. Neidl是“one of the directors”，所以不能说是她的团队。below和by搭配错误。
31. B 发现了一个爱好和一个未知的世界，因此选discovered。迷惑项是developed，这个词可以与interest连用表示形成某种爱好，但是不可以与world连用表示“形成一个未知世界”，故排除。
32. B 句意为“她教导我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做”。care在乎，符合文意。accept接受，judge判断，wonder想知道，这三项均不符合文意。
33. D be afraid害怕。前面说take chances冒险，后面理所当然说不要怕（失败），而且前文反复出现了afraid这个词，这是全篇的一个关键词。bored无聊的，lazy懒惰的，sad伤心的，这三项在文中均无体现。
34. A trust信任。通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs. Neidl对作者的信任，并在第二段明确使用了trust这个词，因此可推断出答案。patience耐心，curiosity好奇心，interest兴趣，这三项在文中均无体现。
35. C 句意为“她对我的信任激励我完成以前我认为不可能的事情”，“never imagined possible”等于“imagined impossible”，认为是不可能的，符合文意。accessible容易取得的，enjoyable有趣的，favorable有利的，赞同的，这三项均不合题意。

My dear classmates,
There is no denying that safety plays an important part in our daily life. Recently our school has carried out a program aimed at making our campus a safe place to stay in.
I consider this as indeed a good practice, which will make us aware that safety should always come first in our daily life, whether when we stay at school or outside it. When we are doing sports, we should attach importance to the safety and avoid being hurt. Furthermore, when we get into trouble with our classmates, we should remain calm and avoid any form of fighting, which may only bring suffering and pain to us mentally and physically.
As far as I’m concerned, I feel all the students and teachers should work hard and creatively to keep the “safety at school”activity in mind. Besides, we are supposed to observe the law discipline where we are at any moment.
That’s all. Thank you.

Ⅲ. 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）
A
Here I am on Earth—the Blue Planet. Well, what was once a blue planet is now a dying planet. I cannot study the Earth without being disturbed by its prime inhabitants（居民）—humans—strange creatures, indeed. Being from another galaxy（星系），I am not used to the ways of “man” as they call themselves—strange in itself, for half the population are women. Either way, woman or man, there are too many of them! They have shaped poor Earth to their convenience and greed, caring little of the consequences. The Earth’s land is being reduced, the climate is being changed, and there is too much waste and no room left to put in. Even the beautiful rain forests, the Earth’s claim to fame（出名之处），are being destroyed.
I haven’t told you about the other creatures on Earth, have I? Oh, the poor creatures—the poor animals living under the foolish control of human beings. There are few wild, free animals left, for humans long ago had the idea that if they “tamed（驯养）”and caged the animals, they could make life even more convenient for themselves. Humans eat animals and even wear animals—their leather and fur can be seen draped（披）around the average person’s body without a second thought to where it came from.
I have been to other planets, but never have I seen such creatures with such disrespect for their environment and the other creatures sharing it with them. All the killing of the animals and the wasting of the environment have led to hate among them. And then they dare to use the word “humane” as meaning kind, tender, merciful and sympathetic.
It is sad what is happening to the Earth. I am anxious to return home to my own planet where overpopulation, waste and global warming are only unfamiliar problems. If only humans would act “humane” towards the environment, towards the animals, towards each other—the Earth really would be a better place.
36. What makes the author consider humans to be strange creatures?
A. Humans dare to destroy the rain forests.
B. Too many humans live on a dying planet.
C. Even women are called ”man” as well.
D. Humans have produced so much waste.
37. The second paragraph mainly tells us ________ .
A. animals live together in peace with humans
B. animals make humans’ life convenient
C. humans know how to feed themselves
D. humans treat animals very badly
38. When people on Earth use ”humane”, the author feels it is ________.
A. ridiculous B. reasonable
C. interesting D. confusing
39. The author‘s main purpose in writing this passage is to ________.
A. describe an experience of traveling in space
B. expect humans to be kind to the Earth
C. discuss what problems humans are facing
D. advise people on Earth to move to other planets
B
As Joe and Michael were heading towards the Drivers License place, Michael, who was behind the wheel, froze as he heard the voice on the radio saying that a man had been murdered by a bullet that had came from the sky. He immediately drove off and went to a secret place. Later on that day, after thinking that the shot they had fired possibly wasn’t the shot that killed Mr Ward, they headed back to the Drivers License place where Michael failed the driver’s test because he could not think straight. For the next two months, Michael and Joe hid the secret that the bullet had actually shot Mr Ward.
During this time, Jenna Ward started to realize life without her father. While Jenna mourned the death of her father, a strange boy started to appear at the front steps of the church across the street from her house. After many nights of watching this boy, she finally recognized that it was Michael who was sitting on the steps every night.
After finding out where the shot came, the police were able to narrow the research area down to within a four-block area. Among these four blocks were Michael’s house and Joe’s house. When the police arrived at Michael’s house, his dad mentioned the gun that Michael，trying to be sly, told the cops that Joe had borrowed the gun. Upon this, Joe said that the gun had been stolen out of his car along with his CD player. After the police were gone, Michael met Joe at a special spot and told Joe the gun was under the wood pile in his backyard.
One day, when Michael thought the police would not come back, he came home to find the police searching his backyard. When the Sergeant（警官）went into the woods behind the house, he came out with a bullet that Joe and he had shot off on his birthday. The bullet matched the one that they had found from Mr Ward，but without the gun, the police could not place Michael as the killer.
With the pressure mounting, Michael finally broke down and realized he had to give up. On a Saturday morning, he went to Jenna’s house to confess to her and her mother and then turned himself in.
40. Michael and Joe drove to the Drivers License place ________.
A. to find out whether Mr Ward was dead

The 300-year-old tradition of pinning candidates’ exam scores to a board outside the University of Cambridge’s Senate House is to be changed after a lengthy student campaign. Undergraduates have argued for several years that the practice can be too upsetting for students who have underachieved, particularly when they find out second hand.
Results for some exams such as the Maths, Tripos（文学士荣誉学位考试），are even publicly read out from the balcony of the Senate House. However, from this June students will be sent an email telling them their results before they are published. They will also be able to apply to have their names and grades removed from the lists before it is pinned up.
Students have welcomed the move, but said they were disappointed that it had not been introduced earlier. Campaigners are also angered that students will only be allowed to have themselves removed from the public lists if they can prove “exceptional circumstances” such as mental health problem.
Ant Bagshaw, education officer for Cambridge University Students’ Union(CUSU), said, “Posting the exam results is a tradition for tradition’s sake and there is no good reason in it. The big stress is other people finding out your exam results before you. There is a lot of anxiety among the students about it. It’s great news but it’s a bit late as this issue has been going on a number of years.”
A survey carried out by CUSU last year showed that the majority of students want to receive their results privately. At Oxford University students can opt out of（选择不参与） the class lists without explanation. But the rules at Cambridge say that “there must be a convincing reason such as a threat to a student’s health or well-being, in order to maintain the completeness of the class lists”.
The new rules will apply to all exams including finals, Mr Bagshaw said. The spokesman added, “Emailing doesn’t completely solve the problem but it would stop other people finding out your results first and allow those who do badly to have some time to adjust.”
Professor John Rallison, the University’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education, said that the changes could not be put into practice until June 2010 “due to the need to consult thoroughly with departments on any possible effects”.
44. The underlined part “exceptional circumstances” in Para. 3 probably means “________”.
A. different conditions B. unusual conditions
C. changed conditions D. right conditions
45. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The tradition of posting students’ exam results has a history of 300 years.
B. Students may feel upset once others know their exam results before them.
C. The new rules will apply to all kinds of exams, including finals.
D. The changes will be carried out before January 2010.
46. What does the author mean by “Posting the exam results is a tradition for tradition’s sake” in Para. 4?
A. The tradition of posting the exam results should not be broken.
B. Cambridge University should established a new tradition instead of the old one.
C. Cambridge University carries on the tradition just because it is a tradition.
D. The tradition of posting the exam results is welcomed by professors.
47. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Most Cambridge University students do not want to make their exam results public.
B. Emailing the exam results can stop other people finding out your exam results.
C. Oxford University will still keep the tradition of posting students’ exam results.
D. Cambridge University will first try the new rules on some classes for some time.

Alfred W. Fielding co-invented Bubble Wrap（气泡膜） in the late 1950s. Today, Sealed Air Corporation, the company he cofounded in 1960, is a worldwide manufacturer of packaging materials with annual incomes over ＄3 billion. The early history of Bubble Wrap shows, for inventors, that keeping an open mind to possible applications is a clear advantage—finally, you may start out trying to invent one thing, only to hit on an even better idea.
The story begins in 1957 in a garage in Hawthorne, N.J., with two entrepreneurial engineers hard at work, Fielding and his partner, a Swiss inventor named Marc Chavannes. They were trying to invent a plastic wallpaper with a paper backing. It failed. But along the way they realized their invention could be used for packing material, thus, giving birth to what is now known around the world as Bubble Wrap, and the Sealed Air Corporation, the company that has developed and marketed it. Through its technology, Sealed Air Corporation really built a specialty chemical business in protective packaging.
Bubble Wrap is a packaging product made up of a sheet of plastic with a series of sealed air bubbles. The air bubbles are circle shaped. Its construction creates a very flexible yet durable（耐久的）protective sheet for packaging any kind of item for shipping, mailing, moving and storage. It is usually clear but is also made in specialty colors. There are types of Bubble Wrap with small circles, which are more common, or big circled, which are used mostly for bigger items.
A native of Hackensack, N.J., Fielding graduated from Stevens in 1939. He earned a master of science degree from Stevens in 1943. Stevens awarded him an honorary Doctor of Engineering degree in 1986. He is in the new Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame for his role in creating Bubble Wrap, and he was admitted into membership in the Newcomen Society of the United States in 1982. The Newcomen Society recognizes pioneers who have laid the foundations for major enterprises.
According to the passage, Bubble Wrap was invented ________.
A. in a chemistry lab B. by accident
C. in an accident D. by mistake
The main fun_ction of Bubble Wrap is to ________.
A. prevent items from being burnt
B. keep items in store for a long time
C. protect items from being damaged
D. reduce the waste of packing material
50. What can we learn from the invention of Bubble Wrap?
Failure is the mother of success.
You will be paid for whatever you do.
You will benefit if you prepare for any possibility.
Start to invent one thing and you will end up with another.
What’s the passage mainly about?
An introduction to Bubble Wrap.
The inventions of Alfred W. Fielding.
Alfred W. Fielding and Sealed Air Corporation.

It’s not yet four a.m. and Kajese is already arriving at CCTV for another day in her job as China’s first African news presenter. Kajese is one of an increasing number of young Africans heading to China, as the country’s booming economy and ever-closer ties with African nations create opportunities as tempting as any in Europe or the United States.
China’s African community has grown greatly since it joined the WTO in 2001, with as many as 250, 000 in the country at any one time. Many are traders sourcing cheap China-made goods to sell back home. They crowd to export centers like Guangzhou where a “Little Africa” has sprung up, where you can see many African shops, restaurants, and export malls with everything from fake designer jeans to bright African textiles（纺织品）. But young professionals are also finding good business in every sector（行业）from television to cutting edge entertainment.
A 28-year-old from Zimbabwe, Kajese reads the news on the top of most hours from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. On CCTV 9, China’s state-run English language channel. Despite the early starts, with half an hour in the makeup chair alone, and the stress of going live to air, Kajese says she is grateful for the chance to increase understanding.“There‘s a lot of Chinese people that might not have met many Africans, and so now is an opportunity to say ’Well, why does she speak like this or why is her hair like this?’” she said.“It’s also good that when Africans come here, they’ll know that there are opportunities for them, just like any other foreigner.”
On the other side of town, Frank is winding up his evening’s work as Kajese starts her day. The 27-year-old, who was born in Congo, came to study business in China six years ago but has ended up ruling the capital’s nightlife scene as DJ Kefra. He has been named the capital’s best DJ, and has a residency（驻留期）at one of his biggest clubs, Vic’s.“I felt the energy, the opportunity, and I felt the significance,” said Frank.“So I just decided, okay, I think I’m in the right place at the right time right now.”
52. We can learn from the passage that Kajese is ________.
A. a successful businesswoman
B. a broadcaster in China
C. teaching English on TV
D. introducing her country to China
53. More and more young Africans come to China
because ________.
they want to help China develop its economy
they hope to build good relationships with China
they can’t find good jobs in Europe or the USA
its economy provides more good opportunities for them
Which of the following statements is TRUE about Frank?
He was ever a successful businessman.
He sets up a music club in Beijing.
He usually works at night.
He is the best DJ in China.
The purpose of writing this passage is to ________.
show the good relationships between China and African nations
praise China’s contribution to the world’s peace and stability
report the influence of China’s development on Africans
provide more information for Africans working in China

答案与解析
Ⅰ. 1. A nowhere 为否定含义的副词，故句子用部分倒装语序。
2. C be supposed to do sth.意为“本应该做某事”，因为表示的是过去发生的情况，故用have done。
3. B 答语内容与问句中的doing有关。
4. D 空格后的从句为定语从句，故从句的关系代词与主句的so 有关。若用that作连词，则从句中的work out后应有宾语。
5. C the first time可以作连接词连接两个句子。
6. B 此处的absorbed 应理解为过去分词作原因状语，意为“专心致志于……”。
7. C 表示“指控某人做某事”的短语应为accuse sb. of doing sth.。
8. B 注意短语admit to having done sth.中的to是介词，可省略。
9. C to be accurate 为固定短语，意为“准确地说”。
10. A 该题考查“employ sb. as…”的被动形式。
11. B “so+ adj./adv.”位于句首时，它所在的句子要部分倒装，由后面的decided 可知该句用一般过去时态。
12. C inform sb. of/about sth.告诉某人某事；分析句子结构可知该句用了not…until结构，且主语we与inform之间是被动关系，因此用被动语态。
13. B get sth. straight为固定短语，意为“把某事弄清楚；明确某事”。
14. D 表示“指控、控告某人（做）某事”，可用accuse sb. of sth./doing sth.或charge sb. with sth./doing sth.。
15. B then, now, often等副词放在句首，且句子主语是名词时，句子用完全倒装语序。
Ⅱ. 16. B 第24空后提到这家商店是以父亲的名字来命名的，所以这是一个家庭（family）小店。

Dear Peter,
I’m very delighted that you are coming here for the holiday. But unfortunately I will not be able to meet you at the airport as we planned, as I will be hosting a speech contest at that time. I’m terribly sorry about that. But I have asked my best friend to go to the airport at 6:00 on Saturday afternoon to meet you. He will be at the airport when you arrive, holding a board with your name on it. Then he will take you by taxi to the hotel where I have booked a room for you. I will call you later to arrange some other time for us to get together.
Wish you a pleasant journey. And I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours，
Li Hua

Cambridge has overtaken Oxford as the leading UK university according to an authoritative （权威的）guide published recently.
It comes top of 113 universities for 35 of the 46 subjects for which it is ranked, compared with five for Oxford.
Cambridge is also the highest performing university for entry grades, facilities and graduate prospects （前途）.
Oxford has dropped behind Cambridge — for the first time since 2001— partly because Cambridge has counted the facilities provided by individual colleges for the first time. Also Oxford is third for student satisfaction.
The guide rates Imperial College London, as third best followed by the London School of Economics and then St. Andrews, a university in Scotland which has the highest rating for student satisfaction.
The league table （名次表）judges each university on nine measures. The factors taken into account are: exam results, student satisfaction, research records, student-staff ratios, entry standards, graduate prospects, dropout （辍学学生） rates, spending on academic services and funding for other facilities.
However, for the first time students are able to customize the table by setting their own priorities. The guide allows users to weigh the significance they put on factors such as student satisfaction, entry standards or the ratio between staff and students.
Cambridge and Oxford, Britain’s oldest universities and among the world’s most prestigious（享有声望的） academic institutions, have long competed friendly for the top place to study.
Oxford is slightly older than Cambridge, but they share a traditional college structure and both have a reputation for producing the country’s political, economic and cultural leaders.

Winter sports are very popular in European and North American countries. These places usually receive a lot of snow during the winter months.
Skiing（滑雪） and skating become the major（主要的） sports activities for Westerners during the winter. People from Norway, Italy, the United States, Sweden and Canada all like winter sports.
Winter sports such as alpine（高山） skiing and skating are very popular because they allow people to keep warm while enjoying outdoors.
People can exercise outdoors in beautiful surroundings: snow-covered mountains and pine trees among endless white snow. Putting oneself into the white world and breathing fresh air, one can relax and forget all worries. Of course, the practice of flying down the hills excites people.
The Alps（阿尔卑斯山脉） in Europe is the most ideal place for skiing. The Rocky Mountains（落基山脉） in the Western United States is another good place.
Some people call winter sports “royal sports”. That is because of their high cost. These sports always require expensive equipment（设备）. They also need high-standard（高标准的） places to be enjoyed.

Drunken drivers could be prohibited （禁止） from driving under the influence if new technology from Nissan is introduced.
The Japanese car maker has developed a new odour （气味） detection system （侦测系统） designed to prevent drivers from operating a car if they are over the legal limit. The system works by using a series of sensors （传感器） to detect the level of alcohol the driver has consumed.
A high-sensitivity alcohol odour sensor is built into the gear stick （变速杆），which is able to detect the presence of alcohol in the perspiration （排汗） of the driver's palm as he or she attempts to start driving. If the alcohol level detected is above a pre-determined limit，the system automatically locks the transmission，immobilizing （固定不动） the car. A voice alert is also issued via the car navigation system telling the driver that they are over the limit.
Extra sensors are also placed in the driver and passenger seats and a warning is issued if these sensors detect the presence of alcohol in the air inside the vehicle cabin.
While still in the developmental stage the concept of drunken driving detectors being built into cars has generally been welcomed by many drivers.
Nissan said the technology is part of a project aimed at halving （减半） the number of fatalities （灾祸） and serious injuries in Nissan cars by 2015 compared to 2005 levels.
45. The detection system works _________ .
A. by detecting the smell of alcohol in the vehicle cabin
