1．As we all know, social ________ vary from country to country.
A．habits　　　　　 B．traditions
C．customs D．manners
解析：考查名词辨析。custom 主要指“一个国家(地区)、一个部落(社会)或一个时期由来已久、具有传统的风俗习惯”；而 habit 只用来指“个人日积月累而形成的饮食起居习惯”；traditions 传统；manners 礼貌。根据题意“众所周知，每个国家的社会风俗习惯不一样”，选择C项。
答案：C
2．The books, ________ the dictionaries, must be put back where they ________.
A．included; were B．to include; are
C．including; were D．including; be
解析：including “包括”，放在名词之前；where 引起的状语从句应用过去时，句意：书和词典必须被放回原来的地方。
答案：C
3．________ the calculation is right, scientists can never be sure that they have included all variables and modeled them accurately.
A．Even if B．As far as
C．If only D．As long as
解析：考查连接状语的引导词。even if 引导让步状语从句，表示“即使”；if only“要是……就好了”，引起感叹句，要用虚拟语气；as far as “远达，就……而言”；as long as 意为“只要……就……”；根据题意，应选 even if。
答案：A
4．He came here ________ to see you, ________ after he heard that you returned from Japan.
A．specially; mainly
B．specially; especially
C．especially; especially
D．especially; specially
解析：句意：他“特地”来看你，“尤其”是听说你从日本回来之后。
答案：B
5．—I'm sorry I stepped outside for a smoke. I was very tired.
—There is no ________ for this while you are on duty.
A．reason B．excuse
C．cause D．explanation
解析：考查名词辨析。excuse 借口，reason 理由；cause 原因；explanation 解释；根据上句内容，我们可以推断出下句应为“不要找借口”。
答案：B
6．Mr. Huang will ________ in the movement.
A．play a leading part B．take parts
C．play leading part D．take a part
解析：play a leading part in 表示“在……中起主导作用”。
答案：A
7．—What about the History Museum
—So far ________ I know, it's free this month.
A．as B．that
C．which D．if
解析：考查连词用法。so far as I know 据我所知；与 as far as I know 意思一样。是固定句式。
答案：A
8．The meeting ________ for five hours last Saturday.
A．started B．lasted
C．began D．passed
解析：for five hours 是一段时间，前面应该用 last “持续，延续”。句意：上星期六的会议开了五个小时。start, begin 都有“开始”的意思，后面应该跟某一时间点，而不是一段时间，pass “经过，通过”不合题意。
答案：B
9．Today's lesson is concerned ________ punctuation.
A．about B．for
C．to D．with
解析：考查短语搭配。be concerned with 牵涉到，与……有关，参与。句子意思为“今天的课程涉及到标点符号”。所以选择D。
答案：D
10．They thought ________ necessary to invite Professor Huang to speak at the meeting.
A．that B．it
C．one D．this
解析：it 作形式宾语，后面的不定式短语作真正的宾语。
答案：B
11．All the students in the class ________ benefited activities.
A．attend B．join
C．play a part in D．take part in
解析：考查动词短语辨析。take part in 意为“参加、参与”，是指参加某项集体活动，也指参加工作。attend 作为及物动词，宾语一般是：school/class/meeting/lecture 等；join 参加某一组织；play a part in 可表示“在……中扮演角色”。除此之外，也可表示“在……方面起作用”。故只有D正确。
答案：D
12．That's the best way we should think of ________ the dying soldier.
A．helping B．saving
C．operating D．to save
解析：先行词 the best way 在逻辑上是定语从句中的谓语 think of 的宾语，故A、B、C项排除。to save... 是不定式短语，作定语从句的目的状语。
答案：D
13．Though we hadn't seen each other for more than five years, I ________ him the moment he came out of the station.
A．realized B．recognized
C．learned D．knew
解析：考查动词辨析。recognize 识别，认出；realize 意识到，后面多跟从句；learn 得知，了解；know 认识，表示延续的动作。
答案：B
14．—Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the airport
—________.

答案：A
15．________ you work at English, ________ progress you will make in it.
A．The harder; a greater
B．The harder; the greater
C．The harder; greater
D．The harder; the greatest
解析：考查形容词和副词表示比较的句式。句意：你学习英语越刻苦，你进步就越大。属于“the＋比较级……，the＋比较级……”结构。表示“越……越……”。要注意前后语句意思的一贯性。
答案：B

Therefore, when a student is learning to speak British English, he can't help wondering: Can I communicate with Americans Can they understand me Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English How important are these differences
Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen？” Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen？” Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound the r's in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Some speakers of British English do not sound the r's in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British. “color” and “honor” are American.
These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling, and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.
36．What do students of English often want to know
A．Can I question the Americans
B．Can I talk with Americans
C．Can I make myself understood
D．Can I speak to Americans

A．two B．three
C．four D．five

D．Learners of English
39．What is the main idea of this passage

37．C　细节理解题。在第三段的第一个句子有详尽的表述 ...grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary... 因此选择 four。
38．A　细节理解题。在文中的第二段的第四句有表述。
39．D　主旨大意题。英美英语存在差别，但是差别不大。

Suppose you work in a big firm and find English very important for your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen. Now you are looking for a place where you can improve your English, especially your spoken English.

You may find the information you need.
40.You work from 9∶00 a. m. to 4∶30 p. m. every day. Which school will you choose
A．Global English Centre and Modern Language School.

答案与解析
40．B　题目设定你的工作时间是9∶00 am～4∶30 pm，浏览各广告，Global English Centre 有 evening classes, the International House of English 有 A four month evening programme for developing speaking skill.。
41．D　The 21st Century English Training Centre 与其他学校不同在于它要求有入学考试。选项B具有一定的干扰性。但 Global English Centre 也是 Close to city centre and bus stops.，至于哪个学校离市中心最近不得而知。
42．B　在两所你能够去的英语学校中，你可能选择 the International House of English，是因为它设有英语口语班，这和本文开头提到的你的愿望是提高英语，特别是英语口语水平正好相符。
43．D　这是一道计算题。已知60 yuan for 12 hours per week，那么60×4＝240, 每个月学费240 yuan,240×3＝720，三个月720 yuan。因为 evening course 为四个月的课程再加 240 yuan, 为960 yuan。
C
One of the most important ways to learn and master the English language is to read, read, and read. It is said that a good reader is also a good writer and a good speaker. However, in today's world, reading is something that most children dislike doing. There are simply so many distractions (分心的事物) that books, magazines, and newspapers are often ignored in favour of video games and movies. And while video games and movies also play a role in helping the child learn the English language, they still can't quite compare to reading. And as a result, kids are learning less and less.
Take a look at an elementary level text book. You'll notice that the books for elementary students are filled with pictures and colours. Those pictures and colours in the elementary level text books aren't there just for the sake (缘由) of design. Colours and pictures make us more engaged in the act of learning grammar. They catch our attention and help us retain (保留) more of what we read. This is especially true for little children who enjoy fun English.
Children are quite easily distracted. When you ask them to sit down and read quietly, their minds will often wander and it won't take long before you find them doodling (涂鸦) and not doing what you told them to do. But if a book is colourful enough to catch a kid's attention, then you'll have a better chance at getting the kid to sit down long enough to learn English.
The same principle holds true for interactivity (互动). Like colours and pictures, interactive reading materials like English songs for kids also get the child engaged in what he or she is learning. Interactive reading materials get the child to focus since using them is almost like playing.
44．Children don't like reading probably because they prefer ________.
A．newspapers B．films
C．magazines D．books
45．Children will be interested in books that are ________.
A．full of pictures B．explained clearly
C．written clearly D．easy
46．Colourful books can help the children ________.
A．do what they prefer
B．have a good time
C．fix their attention for a longer time
D．sit still and quietly
47．What's the main idea of this passage
A．Reading is the most important in learning language.
B．All the books are full of pictures and colours.
C．Interactivity and colourful designs are important to learn English.
D．Interactive reading is very interesting for children.
答案与解析
44．B　由第一段第四句可知，电子游戏、电影等分心的事物影响了孩子的阅读。故B项正确。A、C、D三项都属于阅读的范畴。
45．A　由第二段四、五句可知，书中的彩页和图画可以保持孩子的注意力，这也说明了孩子们对有彩页和图画的书感兴趣。
46．C　由第三段最后一句可知，有彩页的图书可以使孩子保持更长时间的注意力来学习英语。
47．C　通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了互动活动和彩页设计在孩子的英语学习中所起到的重要作用。
D
It appears that the use of language came about independently in a number of places.
All languages change with time. A comparison of Chaucer's English, Shakespeare's English and Modern English shows how a language can change over several hundred years. Modern English spoken in Britain, North America and Australia uses different words and grammar.
If two groups of people speaking the same language are separated, their languages will change along different paths. First they develop different accents; next some of the vocabulary will change (either due to influences of other languages or by natural processes). When this happens a different dialect is created; the two groups can still understand each other. If the dialects continue to change there will come a time when they cannot understand each other. At this stage the people are speaking different languages.
One of the best examples in Western history occurred after the Roman Empire collapsed in the 4th century AD. Latin was the language of that empire. All the Latin speakers in different parts of Europe (Italian Peninsula, Gaul, Iberian Peninsula, Carpathia) became separated from each other. Their languages change along separate paths to give us the modern languages of Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian.
In_time,_with enough migrations, a single language can change into an entire family of languages. Each language family described below is a group of related languages with a common ancestor. Languages in the same branch are sisiter languages that diverged within the last 1,000 to 2,000 years (Latin, for example, gave rise to the Latin Branch Languages in the Indo European Family). Languages in different branches of the same family can be referred to as cousin languages. For most families these languages would have diverged more than 2,000 years ago.
Languages in the same family share many common grammatical features and many of the key words, especially older words, show their common origin.
48．If two groups people who speak the same language are separated, how does their language change
A．the same language—different languages—different accents—different dialects
B．the same language—different accents—different dialects—different languages
C．the same language—different dialects—different accents—different languages
D．the same language—different languages—different dialects—different accents
49．After the Roman Empire collapsed, the Latin language changed into the following languages except ________.
A．French B．Italian
C．Romanian D．English
50．What does the underlined phrase mean
A．sooner or later B．sometimes
C．finally D．after a while
51．The example of Roman Empire in the passage is intended to show ________.
A．languages in the same family share many words and grammatical features
B．each language family is made up of sisiter languages and cousin languages
C．if two groups of people speaking the same language are separated, their languages will change along different paths
D．different language families have one common origin
答案与解析
48．B　概括归纳题。在文中的第三段详细的说明了语言的变迁，从语音到方言，然后过渡到新的语言。
49．D　细节理解题。在文中的第四段的最后一句有阐述。
50．B　猜测词义题。sooner or later 迟早；finally 最终，最后；after a while 过了一会。
51．C　概括归纳题。综合概括第三段和第四段我们可以得知，说同一种语言的人群分开后，语言也会沿着不同的方向发展直至形成新的语言。
E
The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light，I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”．
I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed？”I asked myself. I didn't answer, in fact I dared not.
The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear！”I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed！”We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite desperate (绝望的) now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.
52．When the author was going over his lessons, all the others in the house were ________.
A．asleep B．working in bed
C．outside D．quietly laughing at him
53．Reviewing his lessons didn't help him because ________.
A．it was too late at night
B．he was very tired
C．his eyes lids were so heavy that he couldn't keep them open
D．he hadn't studied hard before the examination
54．What do you suppose happened to the author
A．He went to a church to pray again.
B．He passed the exam by sheer luck.
C．He failed in the exam.
D．He was punished by his teacher.
55．The best title for the passage would be ________.
A．The Night Before the Examination
B．Working Far into the Night
C．A Slow Student
D．Going Over My Lessons
答案与解析
52．A　根据第一段第三句话“Everyone was in bed except me”可知，除了“我”别人都睡觉了。
53．D　根据文章倒数第三句话“I do promise... ”可推知，作者之前没有认真学习，因此临时抱佛脚对他没有什么帮助。
54．C　作者之前没有好好学习，仅凭考前突击，自然不会通过考试。
55．A　本篇文章讲述了作者在考试前一天夜里进行突击学习的事情，故A项为最佳标题。

And, sometimes, learning English is also great fun.
