Passage One
We know little about how primitive people came to use the money,but we do know some of the articles which have been used as money. During the days of ancient Rome, salt was hard to obtain. Salt for the preparation of food was considered so precious that soldiers were paid with it. This salt money was known as salarium, and from it we get our word salary.
In some regions of Asia, tin was used for money; and the American Indian used a variety of shell beads which he called wampum. In some places special kinds of sea-shells, bird feathers, or nuts were used. Perhaps the most common money of all was an animal of some kind. In some places today, cows are still used as a kind of money. So you see, things highly valued by everybody may serve as money.
The Chinese were the first people to use coins as money. Today most coins are round; but the coins of ancient peoples were of many shapes. Some were round, some were square or rectangular, and others were even egg-shaped or had square holes in their centers.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26.What did ancient Rome use as money?
27.Who first used coins as money?
28.What is the main idea of the passage?
Passage Two
I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He seemed quite hysterical and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn’t the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.
It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had already died.“She meant more to me than anyone…even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I assumed a terrible tragedy had taken place with the overtones of a possible scandal. I must admit I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn.“I wouldn’t leave her out in the cold!”he said.
Milly had clearly been a secret sweetheart of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door and pointed his torch at a motionless shaps on the straw.“She was such a good cow! I wouldn’t let anyone but a doctor touch her!”he said, and burst into tears again.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. Why did the speaker say that she obviously had to go?
30. What was the weather like that day?
31. Who did the speaker think Milly was when she saw the farmer?
Passage Three
What does the word “l(fā)ibrary”mean to you?Do you think a library is a large, silent room containing hundreds of books? It may surprise you to learn that there are other kinds of libraries. Most libraries do lend books, but some also lend art, music, and even toys!
In some libraries, you can borrow an excellent reproduction of a famous painting for your home for several weeks. Then, you can return it and bring another one home.
This is also true for records. You may choose your favorite record and take it home. There you may listen to it as often as you like. Later you may return it and try something else.
Toy-lending is a new idea in libraries. In a toy library children’s toys and games are classified by age groups just as books usually are. Children may play with anything in the library, and instead of demanding silence, toy libraries encourage children to make noise! Toy libraries not only provide toys and games for children, but also give them a place to come and meet and play with other children.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What are some of the things that you can borrow from an art library?
33. What is toy-lending?
34. In what kind of library can children make as much noise as they want?
35. Apart from toys and games, what else do toy libraries provide for children?
Section C
The automobile has many advantages. Above all, it (36) offers people freedom to go where they want when they want to. To most people, cars are also personal (37) fantasy machines that serve as (38) symbols of power, success, speed, excitement, and (39) adventure. In (40) addition, much of the world’s economy is built on producing vehicles and supplying roads, services, and repairs of vehicles. Half of the world’s paychecks are (41) auto-related.
In spite of their advantages, motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air, water, land and wildlife resources. Though we (42) tend to deny it, (43) riding in cars is one of the most dangerous things we do in our daily lives.
Every year, (44) cars and trucks worldwide kill an average of 250,000 people, and they injure or permanently disable ten million more. (45) Half of the world’s people will be involved in an auto accident at sometime in their lives.
Motor vehicles are the largest sources of air pollution, producing a haze of smog over the world’s cities. (46)In some countries, they produce at least 50% of the countries-air pollution. Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)
Section A
47. L 該空內(nèi)容要求與后面的man-made對應(yīng)，并且二者由both…and連接。
48. G 根據(jù)語法結(jié)構(gòu)要求，該空要求填入一個(gè)副詞，根據(jù)上下文意思應(yīng)該選擇once。
49. I 該空應(yīng)填入動詞，根據(jù)上下文應(yīng)選擇fed，意思為“供養(yǎng)了(一個(gè)從事經(jīng)商的民族)”。
50. O 根據(jù)上下文應(yīng)該選擇“trees”。There were trees in plenty.(那兒生長著大量的樹木。)
51. H 根據(jù)上下文，應(yīng)該填入surrounded。
52. A “send moisture into the air”意思是“將水分送往空中”。
53. F “…the roots trap minerals”意思是“樹根可以留住礦物質(zhì)”。
54. J exploit在此意思為“開發(fā)”。
55. B 選擇cycle構(gòu)成water cycle(水的循環(huán))。
56. D the rhythm of life意思為“生活的節(jié)奏”。 Section B
Passage One
57. C 主旨題本文共三段。第一段講日歷起源之因;第二段講作為現(xiàn)代時(shí)間概念的基礎(chǔ)，古巴比倫如何劃分年月日時(shí)分秒;第三段提及先后出現(xiàn)的測量時(shí)間的各種工具，并講述“世界時(shí)”如何順應(yīng)時(shí)代發(fā)展而產(chǎn)生。A)，B)和D)項(xiàng)都只概括了本文的部分內(nèi)容，只有C)項(xiàng)是對全文的總結(jié)。
58. B 綜合判斷題C)項(xiàng)在文章中沒有提及,D)項(xiàng)不正確。本文的主題是計(jì)時(shí)方式的發(fā)展，并未強(qiáng)調(diào)某個(gè)民族智慧過人，A)項(xiàng)也不正確。
59. C 細(xì)節(jié)題根據(jù)題干可定位于第三段前半部分，答案是C。
60. B 細(xì)節(jié)題解題依據(jù)是“The time at Greenwich measured by the sun is…”。不過考生不一定留意了這個(gè)后置定語。相反，受“Twelve zones are west of Greenwich. Twelve are east.”的影響，可能會誤選C)項(xiàng)。其實(shí)，這里是24個(gè)時(shí)區(qū)的“the starting point”,也就是第一個(gè)時(shí)區(qū)。
61. A 綜合判斷題C)項(xiàng)提到的日歷出現(xiàn)就是其中一個(gè)例證，第三段還提到sundial, hourglass, mechanical clocks and watches和Greenwich Mean Time的出現(xiàn)，這都是隨著人類社會發(fā)展的需要出現(xiàn)的。C)項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在將日歷出現(xiàn)歸因于一小部分人的高智商，真正的原因其實(shí)是“When people started farming…”。此外，Universal Time并非全宇宙通用，它只適用于全球24個(gè)時(shí)區(qū)，故D)項(xiàng)也不正確。
Passage Two
62. B 細(xì)節(jié)題從文中第三段可知：“Then, in 1953, two scientists…did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth.”這說明從1953年起，人類才開始弄明白地球上的生物是怎樣由原子和分子結(jié)合而產(chǎn)生的。因此B)是正確選項(xiàng)。
63. A 細(xì)節(jié)題答案從第二段開頭可直接找到：“…， scientists figured out that living things, including human bodies, are basically made of amino acids and nucleotide bases.”
64. A 細(xì)節(jié)題答案第三段中直接給出：“…， Harold. Urey and Stanley L. Miller did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth.” 緊接著作者又指出是在“…4 billion years ago…”。
65. D 語義辨析題見原文最后一句話：“When Miller and Urey analyzed the liquid, they found that it contained…”�！爱�(dāng)米勒和尤里對液體進(jìn)行分析時(shí)，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)它包含有……”。很明顯it指的就是從句里的liquid。
66. C 綜合判斷題文中第一段第二句話暗示了該題答案：“Plants, fish, dinosaurs, and people are made of atoms and molecules…”。
Part ⅤCloze
67. B 此處需要填一個(gè)謂語，從下一句可以看出，本句應(yīng)該是過去時(shí)態(tài)，所以B)項(xiàng)正確。
68. C 此處需填一個(gè)表示過去的副詞，C)ago指從現(xiàn)在算起若干時(shí)間以前，和動詞一般過去時(shí)一同使用。符合原文表達(dá)要求，為正確答案。
69. A 耳聾和年老有因果關(guān)系。B)because后只能跟從句，做原因狀語，不符合原文結(jié)構(gòu)要求。because of后則跟名詞或名詞性短語，符合結(jié)構(gòu)要求。C)at和D)in均不能和old age連用。
70. A 此處需填一個(gè)詞引導(dǎo)后面的從句，表示突然出現(xiàn)的情況，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有when可以，故選[A]。
71. D A)fell “落下，降落”，指物體從上到下的垂直運(yùn)動，用于此處，搭配不當(dāng)。blew “(風(fēng))吹、刮”，用于此處，也屬搭配不當(dāng)。C)formed “形成”，指事物經(jīng)歷一個(gè)發(fā)展過程之后，最終形成，這與原文所表達(dá)的意義不相符。故此，approached更合適，所以D)項(xiàng)為正確答案。
72. C 在樹下躲雨，故用“under a tree”。
73. B C)fallen “摔倒”，A)thrown “扔”，強(qiáng)調(diào)動作施者所做的“扔”的動作。D)beaten “打，敲”，強(qiáng)調(diào)“打”的具體動作，一般用于具體意義。B)knocked “敲、擊、打”，既可用于具體的，又可用于抽象的“打擊，擊倒”，用于此處，符合原文表達(dá)需要，故B)項(xiàng)為正確答案。
74. B A)just “剛好”，表達(dá)過于精確，不符合上下文。C)for后跟一段時(shí)間，表達(dá)動作的持續(xù)過程，如果用于此處，則later不能有，因此也不能用。D)within “在……內(nèi)”，表達(dá)過于精確。B)some “大約”，同about。符合原文表達(dá)，因此B)項(xiàng)為正確答案。
75. D 主句的伴隨狀語，表示一種伴隨的動作或狀態(tài)，一般用分詞或分詞短語。A)to lie是動詞不定式，不能做伴隨狀語。C)lay是動詞lie的一般過去式，不能做伴隨狀語。B)having lain是現(xiàn)在分詞的完成體，不能做伴隨狀語。D)lying是動詞lie的現(xiàn)在分詞形式，符合原文要求。故D)項(xiàng)為正確答案。
76. A 此處應(yīng)為兩個(gè)并列分句描述兩個(gè)動作。因此B)when，D)while被排除。兩個(gè)動作之間并無轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以C)but也被排除。A)and為正確答案。
77. C 由于他以前雙目失明，而現(xiàn)在突見光明，所以此處應(yīng)填一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞。A)Thus “這樣”;B)Therefore “因此”;D)Above all “首先”。均不是轉(zhuǎn)折連詞。C)But “但是，然而”，轉(zhuǎn)折連詞，為正確答案。
78. A D)out of “在……外部”。鐘表不可能掛在屋子外，故首先排除。C)into “到……里”，著重表示動作的方向，用于此處不恰當(dāng)。B)through “穿過”，著重指物體從某一空間中間穿過。A)across “在對面”。符合原文表達(dá)要求，為正確答案。
79. B C)Whenever “無論何時(shí)”，用于此處，與原表達(dá)意義不符。A)While,B)When,D)As都有“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”的意思。as著重表示從句動作與主句動作同時(shí)發(fā)生，持續(xù)時(shí)間不長。據(jù)此分析，as用于此處不當(dāng)。when可以表示主句動作發(fā)生在從句之后，符合原文表達(dá)需要。因此B)項(xiàng)為正確答案。
80. D 聯(lián)系上文，此處應(yīng)為“恢復(fù)，再得到”。A)gained “得到”;B)gotten “獲得”。C)reminded “使回憶起……，提醒……”。D)regained “重新得到”，符合句意，為正確答案。
81. C A)at “在(某一時(shí)間、地點(diǎn))”;B)in “在(地點(diǎn)、時(shí)間)里面”;D)on “在……上面，在(某一天)”，均無此意。C)from “從……(中得到，獲益)”。符合句意。
82. B 這里指的是解釋原因，因此只有B)reason “原因”符合句意。A)result “結(jié)果”;C)consequence “后果”;D)content “內(nèi)容”。均無此意。
83. A B)contributed “貢獻(xiàn)，捐獻(xiàn)”。C)sought(seek的過去式)“尋找”，同look for,強(qiáng)調(diào)找的過程，不能表示結(jié)果。聯(lián)系下文用于此處不當(dāng)。D)thought “思考，想”，用于此處，意思表達(dá)欠妥。A)offered “提供，提出”，用于此處意思準(zhǔn)確，結(jié)構(gòu)正確，是正確答案。
84. D A)because of “因?yàn)�、由于�?B)owing to “由于”。強(qiáng)調(diào)“原因和結(jié)果的關(guān)系”，把“猛烈的打擊”說成“失明的原因”，似乎過于牽強(qiáng)。C)based on “以……為基礎(chǔ)”，與原文表達(dá)不符。D)as a result of “由于……的結(jié)果”，強(qiáng)調(diào)“某事(行動等)引起的結(jié)果。
85. B A)restore,C)have restored主動結(jié)構(gòu)，不能用于此處。D)have been restored被動語態(tài)完成體表示動作已完成。既已完成，就不存在“可能(perhaps)”，因此D)項(xiàng)用于此處不當(dāng)。B)be restored被動結(jié)構(gòu)，一般式，符合原表達(dá)要求，是正確答案。
86. C D)one “一次”，用于此處意思不當(dāng)。A)other “別的，其他的”，其后常跟復(fù)數(shù)形式。用于此處，搭配不正確。B)the other表示二者中的另一個(gè)。用于此處，意思表達(dá)有誤。C)another表示不定數(shù)目中的另一個(gè)。用于此處，意思準(zhǔn)確，為正確答案。
