Part II Vocabulary and Structure (15 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your ability to construct grammatically correct sentences. It consists of 2 sections.
Section ADirections: In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A , B, C, and D.
12. He daren’t come here any more, ______? A.dare he B.does he C.is he D.will he
正确答案:A
解析:当反意疑问句的陈述部分含有dare作情态动词时,疑问部分则由情
态动词dare构成;如果dare是实义动词,常借助助动词构成疑问部分。dare在本句中后面直接接了动词原形,由此可判断用作情态动词。所以应选择A。
13. There is evidence that this kind of new machine has no side ______ on the patient.
A.affect B.effect C.infect D.detect
正确答案:B
解析:本题考查形近词辨析。effect是名词,意为“作用”;side effect表示“副作用”。其他三个选项都是动词,affect意为“影响”;infect意为“传染”;detect意为“侦查”,均不符题意。
14. Seldom ______ my boss in such good mood(心情) since I came to work in this company.
A.I saw
B.I have seen C.have I seen D.do I see
正确答案:C 解析:自从在这家公司上班以来,我很少看到我的老板心情这么好。”seldom”及”never”表示频率的副词在句首时,谓语要倒装。
15. The idea ______ good, but I’m afraid it is impractical. A.hears B.sounds C.looks D.feels
正确答案:B
解析:这个主意听起来很好,但恐怕它不可行。四个选项中,只有sound有“听起来”的意思。
16. Look at the trouble I am in! If only I______your advice. A.followed B.would follow C.had followed D.should follow
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查虚拟语气。if only“但愿”,后边的句子应该用虚拟语气,
这里是表示与过去的事实相反,故选C。
17. A boy told the policeman that he had seen a man ______. A.to get on a car and drive off B.getting on a car and drove off C.get on a car and drive off D.get on a car and drove off
正确答案:C
解析:动词不定式作宾语补足语。感官动词需要用省略to的动词不定式或现在分词作宾语补足语。例如:He saw his brother getting off the bus when he crossed the street.(他过马路的时候,看见他的哥哥正在下车。)其他选项与题意不符。
18. -- Which would you like more? Tea or orange juice? A.Sure, I would B.Yes, both C.Yes, please
D.Neither, thank you
正确答案:D
解析:句子意为:你更喜欢哪种?茶还是橘汁?都不需要,谢谢。对选择疑问句的回答不能用yes或者no。
19. A completely new situation will ______ when the examination system comes into existence.
A.arise B.rise C.raise D.race
正确答案:A
解析:本题考查动词的词义。此处需要不及物动词作谓语,arise是不及物动词,意为“出现”,符合题意。故选项A为正确答案。
20. You’d better ______ the whole article at once. A.copy B.copying C.to copy D.copied
正确答案:A
解析:had better do是一个固定的动词词组,意为:“最好……”。had better后面通常搭配动词原形来使用。例如:You had better finish the work on time.(你
最好按时完成工作。)
21. More than 100 people died______the earthquake in that area. A.in case of B.as a result of C.in addition to D.on the basis of
正确答案:B 解析:本题考查词组辨析。in case of意为“假如,若发生某事”,例如,In case of fire,ring the alarm bell.(假如出现火情,应立即按警铃。)as a result of意为“由于……的结果”;in addition to意为“另外,除……之外”,例如,In addition to the names on the list,there are six other applicants.(除了名单上的名字之外,还有六个人申请。)on the basis of意为“以……为基础”,例如,Our trade is conducted on the basis of equality.(我们是在平等的基础上进行贸易的。)根据句意,B为正确答案。
Section BDirections: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each bland with the proper form of the word given in the brackets.
22. We (talk) ______ happily when someone knocked at the door.
正确答案:were talking 解析:本句表示在过去某个过程中发生的动作,这个过程往往用过去进行时表示,说明动作发生的背景或状态,而这个动作则用一般过去时态表示。此句表示正在谈话状态的时候有人敲门,因此要使用过去进行时。
23. I feel like (lie) ______ under this big tree for a rest.
正确答案:lying
解析:本题考查固定搭配。feel like doing sth.表示“想要做某事”。
24. All things (consider)______, her paper is of greater value than yours.
正确答案:considered
25. The young man insists that what he has done (benefit) ______ the people in the future.
正确答案:(should)benefit
解析:insist表示“坚持,认为”的含义时,后面的从句应该用虚拟语气,即从句的谓语动词用“(should+)动词原形”,所以填入(should)benefit。
26. He has made (few) ______ mistakes in the final exam than I have.
正确答案:fewer
解析:他在期末考试中出的错比我少。在本句中,因为存在一个 than引导的状语从句表示比较,所以应用few的比较级形式。
27. The manager requested that we (not smoke)______in the office.
正确答案:not smoke
解析:本题考查虚拟语气。request对应的从句应该用虚拟语气,其构成是:(should)+动词原形。
28. She is smart (indeed)______, she is a genius.
正确答案:indeed
解析:本题考查副词用法。她确实很聪明,她是个天才。副词indeed (的确,确实) 修饰is smart。
29. China is trying its best to speed up its (economy) ______ development.
正确答案:economic
解析:economy的形容词为economical和economic。根据题意,本句用economic表示“经济的”,economical意为“节俭的,节约的”。
30. Usually, a student card (able) ______ me to travel half-price(半价) on trains in China.
正确答案:enables
解析:本题考查形容词与动词的转换。根据语法,空格处应该填入句子的谓语动词,因为to travel是非谓语形式;而且usually通常和一般现在时连用,故本题应该填入形容词able的动词形式enable,根据a student card可知应填入其第三人称单数形式enables。
31. The chairman should raise his voice in order to make himself (hear) ______.
正确答案:heard
解析:动词make的用法。make oneself heard表示“使自己(的声音)被人听到”,“使别人听见(自己)”。根据句意,他提高嗓门就是为了使自己被人听到,因而空格处应填heard。make的其他用法有:1)make sb do sth.(使某人做某事),如“they made me repeat the story.”。但当make使用被动态时,用作be made to do sth.,如I was made to repeat the story.2)make sth.sth./adj.使……成为,使……变为,如make me happy,make our school a park
Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Directions: This part is to
test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
Beginning in October, more than 13000 McDonald’s restaurants in America will use a new variety of cooking oil. McDonald’s aims to make its French fries and other fried foods healthier. The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food. But by changing the cooking oil, McDonald’s says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans fatty acids (转换脂肪酸) in French fries and reduce the amount of saturated fats (饱和脂肪) by 16 percent. Scientists believe that trans fatty acids and saturated fats raise cholesterol (胆固醇) levels and increase the risk of heart disease. McDonald’s new step is important because McDonald’s is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead. For McDonald’s, the action comes at a time when Americans are becoming more and more concerned about obesity, which is also an increasing pressure on food companies to offer healthy food to consumers. After three years of study, McDonald’s officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans
fatty acids. McDonald’s says the change will not cause higher coats for consumers. Though there is some change, scientists say that the amount of trans fatty acids in foods at McDonald’s and at other fast-food companies is still important.
32. The main idea of the text is______. A.McDonald’s is a pioneer in food products
B.McDonald’s is enlarging its restaurants in the world
C.fried foods can’t keep up with the development of modern society D.McDonald’s is to use new cooking oil
正确答案:D
解析:主旨大意题。全文都是围绕着McDonald’s将使用一种新的有益于消费者健康的食用油而展开的,所以D)为正确答案。

A.lower the costs of the products
B.make its food taste better than ever before C.cure the heart disease

34. When a new kind of cooking oil is used in McDonald’s,______. A.the prices of McDonald’s foods will be much higher
B.consumers will find the taste of McDonald’s foods different C.many other food companies will do what McDonald’s does D.obesity will disappear in American society sooner or later
正确答案:C
解析:事实细节题。文章第三段指出,由于McDonald’s在快餐业的领导地位,它对食用油的改变必将使other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead,故选C)。
35. The word “switching” (Line 1, Para. 5) has the same meaning as”______”. A.losing B.spending C.changing D.studying
正确答案:C
解析:语义理解题。由线索词switching定位到文中第五段第一句话。McDonald’s官员说这种油含有更低的饱和脂肪和转换脂肪酸,因此应该是改变了的食用油,故选C)。
36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.If a person’s cholesterol is high, it won’t affect his health. B.Heart disease is connected with the contents of cholesterol. C.The Americans pay no attention to the action of McDonald’s. D.Most of American foods are lower in trans fatty acids.
正确答案:B
解析:细节辨认题。文章第二段最后指出,转基因脂肪酸和饱和脂肪酸提高了人体胆固醇的含量,增加患心脏病的风险。所以B)“心脏病与人体胆固醇的含量有关”正确。
Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
Thousands of years ago, traveling was very hard. There were no roads and no cars. People traveled on rivers and lakes. They used logs, either one at a time, or tied together.

The need to transport many people
at one time led to the use of the stagecoach. It’s a horse-drawn public vehicle carrying passengers along a regular route. The stagecoach was pulled by four to six horses. It often rode through the night with a change of a driver. But people wanted a faster and easier way of traveling. The “horseless carriage” of automobile was invented in 1892.

B.如果贵公司能接受我们提供的型号和品质的货,我们可经常大宗订货。 C.如果贵公司能提供所要求的型号和品质的货,我们可经常大宗订货。 D.若贵公司接受我们提供的型号和品质的货,我们可签订大宗订货合同。
正确答案:C 解析:此句为条件状语从句。过去分词required作为后置定语修饰goods (货物) ,place作为动词,意为“订货,发出订单”。
60. Two assistants will be required to check reporters’ names when they arrive at the press conference.
A.两位助手要求记者在到达新闻发布会时通报他们的姓名。 B.两位助手到达新闻发布会时被记者要求通报他们的姓名。 C.有两位助手检查记者的姓名并通告他们新闻发布会的时间。 D.要有两位助手在记者到达新闻发布会时核对他们的姓名。
正确答案:D 解析:此句为一个带有状语从句的复合句。句中使用了被动语态的一般将来时。本题重点把握被动语态的翻译,汉语通常将被动句译为主动句。A项将check“检查”错译为“通报”。C项前半句和题意相近,后半句将when“当……时候”错误的理解为“新闻发布会的时间”。B项将reporters“记者”译为 require“要求”的施动者显然是错误的。所以D项答案最为贴切。
61. Undergraduate students can check out up to five books for two weeks. Graduate students can check out up to fifteen books for two months. Books can be
renewed(续借)up to two times. There is a 50-cents-a-day late fee for overdue books. Periodicals(期刊)and reference books cannot be checked out. The library is open weekdays, from 8:00a.m to 9:30 p.m., and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. The library is closed on Sundays.
正确答案:本科生最多可借5本书.借期两周。研究生最多可借15本书,借期两个月。所借图书最多可续借两次。如逾期不还,则每逾期一天交50美分的罚款。期刊和参考书不予外借。图书馆开放时间如下:周一至周五:早8:00至晚9:30;周六:早9:00至晚8:30。周日不开放。
解析:本文是图书馆的一个借书和开放时间说明。其中涉及到了各类学生的表达.如undergraduate意为“本科生”,graduate意为“研究生”。另外check out, renew, late fee分别意为“借书”、“续借”、“超期费,罚款”,这些表达都是借书活动中的常用词汇。在翻译时需注意有些句子包含的信息量较大,如果采用拆译的方法,会使译文表达更简洁明了。如首句,“Undergraduate students can check out up to five books for two weeks.”本句如直译则有欠通顺,不如拆译为“本科生最多可借五本书,借期两周。”事实上第二句、第四句和倒数第二句都可采用此方法。
