Part I Listening Comprehension (15 minutes)Directions： This part is to test your listening ability. It consists of 3 sections.

Section BDirections: This section is to test your ability to understand short dialogues. There are 5 recorded dialogues in it. After each dialogue, there is a recorded question. The dialogues and questions will be spoken two times. When you hear a question, you should decide on the correct answer from the 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文：I shouldn’t have been late for the concert． 1．

A．I shouldn’t be late just now． B．I was not late．

C．I was late for the concert． D．I was on time．

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查的是对虚拟语气的掌握。题目的意思是“音乐会我本不该迟到”。句子用了shouldn’t have done结构，表示本不应该做的事却做了。因此选项C“音乐会我迟到了”为正确选项。

听力原文：Excuse me, but could I ask you a question? 2．

A．I’m sorry． B．It’s nothing． C．Sure．What is it? D．Oh, which one?

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查的是对清求的回答。题目中问的是“打扰了，我可以问你一个问题吗？”A、B、D与问题无关，只有C是针对问题回答的。所以选项C是正确的答案。

听力原文：How is everything? 3．

A．Everything seems to be going fine． B．I agree with you． C．No，I don’t think so．

D．Nothing．

正确答案：A

解析：本题考查的是对询问的回答。题目中问的是“一切顺利吗? ”B、C的主语和问题不一致，所以选项A是正确的答案。

听力原文：Why do you look so tired? 4．

A．Yes, I look tired． B．Yeah, I’m sure． C．I’ve got a headache． D．Don’t mention it．

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查的是对疑问句的回答。题目中问的是“为什么你看起来这么累? ”A、B、D没有解释原因，C阐明具体原因。所以选项C是正确的答案。

听力原文：How did you like the film you saw last night? 5．

A．That’s right． B．I enjoyed it． C．No. I didn’t． D．Yes, I think so．

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查的是对看法的回答。题目中问的是“你觉得昨晚看的电影怎么样? ”选项A的意思是“行，对了”；C和D不符合回答习惯；B为喜欢这场电影，符合题意。所以选项B是正确的答案。

Section CDirections: In this section you will hear a short recorded passage. The passage has some words or phrases missing. The passage will be read three times. During the second reading, you are required to put the missing words or phrases on the blank in order of numbered blanks according to what you hear.

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.

11． The policeman said that the young man was______for the accident． A．responsibility B．recent C．result

D．responsible

正确答案：D

解析：该题考查词义辨析。responsibility是名词，翻译为“责任”；recent, 是形容词，翻译为“最近的，近来的”；result既是名词也是动词，翻译为“结果”；be responsible for翻译为“对……负责”，为固定用法，所以根据题意应选D。

12． Much of what he says______not true． A．does B．do C．is

D．are

正确答案：C

解析：该题考查主谓一致。本句的主语是不可数的，动词要用单数，故排除B和D，而本句是系表结构，选项A不是系动词，所以选项c是正确的。

13． I______an old friend on the way home yesterday． A．meet B．met

C．have met D．had met

正确答案：B

解析：该题测试的是动词的时态。当句子中出现了“yesterday”这个表示昨天的词时，句子要用过去时，所以正确答案为选项B。

14． Many people felt great sorrow when they heard that the brilliant young actor______a heart attack at the age of 25．

A．died from B．died of C．died for D．died to

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查动词短语的用法。die from意为“(病以外)因某事而死”；die of意为“因某病而死”；die for意为“为了……而死”。根据题意应选B。

15． The classroom needs______． A．clean B．to clean

C．to be cleaned D．being cleaned

正确答案：C

解析：本题测试的是动词不定式的用法。在英语中，need, required等动词表示“需要……”时，要用动名词或动词不定式的被动语态做宾语，表示被动的含义。因此本题答案为C。

16． I like him because he makes me______． A．to laugh B．laughed C．laugh D．laughing

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查使役动词的用法。使役动词“make/let/have+宾语”后接不带to的不定式，故选项C正确。如使役动词make用于被动语态，其后的不定式需还原to, 但本题中make为主动，故选项A不对。选项B“laughed”表示的是被动含义，不符合题意；选项D“laughing”表示正在发生的动作，而本题表示结果。

17． We have______rainfall this year than last year． A．less B．little C．fewer D．few

正确答案：A

解析：本题有两个考点：(1)形容词与名词的搭配。fewer用来修饰可数名词，little用来修饰不可数名词；(2)形容词的比较级。句中出现than，所以应用形容词的比较级rainfall为不可数名词，意为“降雨量”，因此选项A为正确答案。

18． We have found difficult to memorize so many words． A．it B．this C．which D．that

正确答案：A

解析：本题测试的是形式宾语it的用法。只有it可以用做形式宾语．代替的正真宾语是“to memorize so many words”。因此正确答案为A。

19． The movie is______more interesting than the one I recommend to you． A．rather B．very C．much D．so

正确答案：C

解析：very, rather, so修饰形容词的原级，不能修饰比较级。much可以修饰形容词的比较级。所以正确答案为c。

20． None of us expected the president to______at the party. We thought he was still in hospital．

A．turn in B．turn down C．turn out D．turn up

正确答案：D

解析：本题考查由动词turn构成的动词词组。turn up表示“出现，现身”，相当于appear，在此符合题意，因此D为正确选项。

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.

21． To learn things well and to develop our various______(able), we need a lot of practice．

正确答案：abilities

解析：此题考查的是词性变换。句中不定式“to develop”缺少宾语，因此空格应填入名词，另外空格前使用了“various”(各种)，因此该名词应为复数abilities。

22． By the time John retires, he______(work)for 30 years．

正确答案：will have worked

解析：此题考查的是动词的时态。由by+时间，要用完成时态，由于by后面接的是将来的时间，所以用将来完成时态。

23． I remember______(pay)for the job, but I have forgotten the exact amount．

正确答案：being paid

解析：此题考查的是动名词。remember后面可以接to do sth. ，表示记得要去做某事，也可以接doing sth. ，表示记得做过某事。此题由后半句中的“have for gotten”可以推测出我是已经做过某事但忘记了，所以应该是doing sth. 。而主语我和”pay”的关系虚该是动宾关系。所以综合起来答案为being paid。

24． There are many______(different)between the two languages．

正确答案：differences

解析：此题考查的是词性转换。There be句型中缺少主语，因此空格应填人名词，因为名词前有“many”修饰，所以名词应为复数differences。difference意思为“不同点”的时候是可数名词。

25． Since the beginning of this term, Jack has shown some______(improve)in both hisreading and writing．

正确答案：improvement

解析：此题考查的是词性转换。动词show后面应该接名词或者名词短语做宾语，句中“some”是量词，它所修饰的应该为名词，所以要用improve的名词形式improvement。

26． By the time he was 12, Edison______(begin)to make a living by himself

正确答案：had begun

解析：此题考查的是动词的时态。“by”后面接的是表示过去的时间状语，所以主句要用过去完成时态。

27． We had difficulty in______(find)a parking place．

正确答案：finding

解析：此题考查的是动名词。sb. has difficulty in doing sth. 做某事有困难。

28． Rich people are not______(necessary)happy．

正确答案：necessarily

解析：此题考查的是词性变换。句中“happy”是形容词，形容词前面的修饰成分应该是副词，所以空格应填necessarily。

29． This factory is short of______(experience)workers．

正确答案：experienced

解析：此题考查的是词性变换。句中“workers”是名词，而在名词前面做修饰的词应该是形容词，又因为experience的形容词形式是在其后加d，所以空格填experienced。

30． I am looking forward to______(meet)her．

正确答案：meeting

解析：此题考查的是动名词。look forward to doing是固定搭配，表示很期待做某事。

Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.

There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear For thousands of years, people in different parts of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this． One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veil must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion． The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton(棉), silk, wool, or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton． The way clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs． World-wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.

36． If you want to learn about the difference about people in the world,

you______．

A．may be surprised by the ways people wear hats

B．may study the different types of clothing people wear C．should know the four big reasons given in the passage D．should know the ways to study other lands

37． In many Moslem countries, women have to______in public． A．wear more clothes than men

B．protect their faces from being hurt C．wear religious clothing D．cover their faces with veils

正确答案：D 解析：细节题。答案在第三段第二句。在许多穆斯林国家，妇女必须戴面纱，这点阐明了宗教的不同导致服饰的差异。

38． Which of the following is the reason for the differences in clothing? A．Most people like silk clothes．

B．Man-made materials are invented to make clothes． C．Cotton is the common material for clothing．

39． The third reason for the difference in clothing is______． A．different ways of making clothes B．different materials

C．different types of dressing D．different religions

正确答案：A

解析：推理题。答案在第五段第一句。因为第四段主要论述了导致服饰差异的第二个原因，因此第五段阐述了第三个原因，即制衣方法的不同。

40． The two examples of wearing hats are given in the last paragraph to show______．

A．the long history of some customs

B．the effect of customs on dressing style

C．the correct way of wearing straw hat D．the function of wearing straw hat

Part IV Translation from English to Chinese (25 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese. Each of the four sentences (No. 61 to No. 64) is followed by four choices of suggested translation marked A, B, C and D. Make the best choice and mark the corresponding letter in the blanks. For question No. 65, write your translation of the paragraph in the corresponding space.

56． The boss broke his rule against singing last night．

A．昨晚老板打破惯例，唱了点。 B．老板昨晚破例唱了歌。 C．老板昨晚破例没唱歌。

D．昨晚老板破了唱歌的禁令。

正确答案：B

解析：本题的翻译要点是对“against doing”的理解。“against doing”这个介词做后置定语修饰前面的“rule”，“against singing”=“not singing(song)”，可见老板的惯利是不唱歌。因此选项C和D意思均存在出人，选项A表达不恰当。

57． Metal, iron in particular, is known to be an important material in building． A．大家知道，金属，特别是铁，已知在建筑上是一种重要材料。 B．大家知道，金属，特别是铁，是建筑方面的重要材料。 C．金属，铁很特殊，是重要建筑方面的材料。

D．金属，尤其是铁，它是建筑中的重要材料，这是众所周知的。

正确答案：B

解析：本题翻译要点是短语“in particular”和“is known to be”，句中“iron in particular”是指“特别/尤其是铁”，因此选项C可以排除。“is known to be”意为“众所周知，大家都知道”，所以选项A有出入，而选项D句序存在问题，需要调整。

58． Having taken her breakfast，the writer sat in the study among her morning letters．

A．作家吃完早饭就坐着研究早上来的信件。

B．吃了早饭之后，作家就坐在书房里，周围都是早上来的信件。 C．在书房里吃过早饭之后，作家就坐在早上来的信件之中。 D．吃过早饭后，作家就坐在书房里处理早上来的信件。

正确答案：D

解析：本题的翻译要点是“study”和“sat in the study among her morning letters”。这里的“study”是指“书房”，而不是“学习或者研究”，因此选项A是错误的。“sat in the study among her morning letters”字面意思是“坐在书房里，周围都是早晨的信件”，忙这个句子中应理解为“处理早晨的信件”，选项B和C均表达不当。

59． Two copies of our estimate you required in your letter of June 13 will be sent to you in a few days．

A．我们会在几天后的6月13日寄上贵公司信中要求的两份报价单。 B．两份估单会按6月13日的要求给你寄过去。

C．我们会在近日内寄上贵公司6月13日来信中要求的两份估单。 D．估计这几天会寄出6月13日要求的两份信。

正确答案：C

解析：本题的翻译要点是“estimate”和“you required”。“estimate”在商务英语里是指“估单”，并不是动词词性“估计”，因此选项D可以排除。“estimate you required in your letter of June 13”，在这个短语里，“you required”是用来修饰“estimate”，而“June13”是收到对方信件的日期。因此选项A和B均存在偏差。

60． Peking Opera has often been introduced abroad as a representative type of China’s traditional operas. It was formed in Beijing about 200 years ago mainly on the basis of Hui(of Anhui Province)and Han(of Hubei Province)operas, but also absorbing some points from other local operas. The latter half of the 19th century and the early 20th century were an important period in the development of Peking Opera．

正确答案： 京剧经常作为中国传统戏剧的代表介绍到国外。它形成于大约200年前的北京。京剧主要基于徽剧(安徽省)和汉剧(湖北省)发展而成，当然也吸收了一些地方剧的特点。19世纪后半世纪和20世纪初是京剧发展的重要时期。

解析：本题的翻译难点是时间年代以及相关词汇的表述。
