M：Sure.First，our product looks good.So it would be a waste of money to use radio.Second，our product moves well，and it moves fast.So I want people to see it on the roads in our ads.
W：What about advertising boards?
M：No.I prefer magazines and newspapers，and we haven't got the money to do all three.So people will see the ad on TV and in the cinema.Then they'll be able to read all about it when they're sitting down，reading their newspapers and magazines.
W：When do you want the advertising to start?

答案　17.B　18.C　19.A　20.A
第二部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)
第一节：单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
21．Have you read________today's news？The price of________houses has slightly
gone down.
A．the；the B．不填；the
C．the；不填 D．不填；不填
解析　考查冠词。news是不可数名词，不能与不定冠词连用，且其前有today's修饰，名词前有形容词性物主代词或名词所有格修饰时，不可以与the连用，排除A、C两项；此处houses为复数可数名词，表类别，所以也用零冠词。
答案　D
22．The lady________the boy with two dollars for bringing back her lost cat.
A．rewarded B．paid
C．offered D．presented
解析　句意：这位妇女因为这个男孩给她找回丢失的猫而给予他两美元的奖赏。reward sb with...for...因某事而以……报答某人。
答案　A
23．You should avoid________with your neighbor.
A．wars B．conflict
C．battles D．struggle
解析　war“战争”；conflict“冲突”；battle“战斗”；struggle“斗争”。
答案　B
24．Don't take anything away.Father likes everything to be________.
A．in place B．take place
C．out of place D．out of the place
解析　in place在正确位置；take place发生；out of place位置不当。由后句句意“父亲喜欢一切都在恰当的位置”可知答案为A。
答案　A
25．When I________a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and
keep it.
A．come about B．come through
C．come to D．come across
解析　come across碰上，遇见。come about发生；come through传来；come to被想出，合计。
答案　D
26．Every evening after dinner，if not________from work，I will spend some time
walking my dog.
A．being tired B．tiring
C．tired D．to be tired
解析　考查省略的用法。在条件、时间、让步等状语从句中，当从句的主语与主句的主语一致，且从句的谓语动词含有be时，从句的主语及谓语动词be可以省略。根据句子意思可知，答案为C。
答案　C
27．His sister left home in 1998，and________since.
A．had not been heard of
B．has not been heard of
C．had not heard of
D．has not heard of
解析　考查谓语动词的时态和语态。句意：他姐姐在1998年离开了家，此后人们再也没有听到她的消息。根据句意可知应用被动语态，句中的since暗示应用现在完成时，因此答案为B。
答案　B
28．There is not much time left，but________we must get there on time.
A．somehow B．somewhat
C．however D．anyway
解析　句意：剩下的时间不多了，但即使如此，我们也必须按时到那里。anyway－whatever the facts may be；in spite of this；at least无论如何、即使如此、至少。又如：It's too late now，anyway.无论如何现在已经太迟了。Anyway，you can try.至少你可以试试。somehow－in some way；by some means以某种方式、通过某种途径；somewhat－to some degree；rather达到某种程度、颇为。
答案　D
29．—Jack has spent an hour in the shoe shop.Hasn't he decided
　which pair of shoes to buy?
—Maybe.Young as he is，he is________about his appearance.
A．special B．curious
C．particular D．serious
解析　句意：——杰克在鞋花店费了一个小时，他还没决定要买哪双鞋吗？——可能。尽管他年轻，他对自己的外表很讲究。依据句意可知此处表示“对……很讲究；对……很挑剔”，需用be particular about...，这是一个固定搭配。
答案　C
30．—I'm afraid that I can't finish the task as soon as planned.
—________.
A．Don't be afraid B．Don't mention it
C．I suppose so D．Take your time
解析　考查交际用语。句意：——恐怕我不能像计划的那么快完成任务。——别急，慢慢来。I'm afraid为委婉的说法，不用Don't be afraid来回答。Don't mention it用来回答别人的道歉。C表示“我也这样认为”，相当于I think so，不符合语境。Take your time表示“别着急，慢慢来”。
答案　D
31．Little________about her own safety，though she was in great danger herself.
A．did Rose care B．Rose did care
C．Rose does care D．does Rose care
解析　考查倒装。句意：虽然身处险境，Rose却丝毫不在乎她个人的安危。little是否定副词，否定副词置于句首时，句子用部分倒装；再依据后面的“was”一词，可知事情发生在过去，用过去时，所以A项正确。
答案　A
32．For a moment nothing happened.Then________all shouting together.
A．voices had come B．came voices
C．voices would come D．did voices come
解析　考查倒装结构。句意：那一会儿，什么都没发生。随后大家一起欢呼起来。表示时间的副词now，then及表示方位的副词here，there等位于句首，与位移性动词come，go，arrive等连用，且主语不是人称代词，用完全倒装。从前一句可知此处描述的是过去的事情，所以用一般过去时。
答案　B
33．The pictures in this book help make________clear________I wasn't sure of
before.
A．it；for me to understand what
B．it；everything
C．everything；to understand what
D．/；what
解析　it为形式宾语，what从句为真正的宾语，what又在宾语从句中作of的宾语。
答案　A
34．—What was the trouble with you the day before yesterday?
—When I practiced running on the playground，my strength________and I fell onto the ground.
A．gave away B．gave in
C．gave off D．gave out
解析　give away分发，赠送，泄露(秘密)，出卖；give in屈服，投降，让步；give off发出(蒸汽，热)；give out分发，用完，精疲力尽。根据句意选D。
答案　D
35．I haven't seen Ann for________long that I've forgotten what she looks like.
A．such B．very C．so D．too
解析　句意：我有很长时间没见着安了，我已忘记她长什么样了。so/such...that如此……以致，即so＋adj./adv.＋that，而such＋n.＋that，long为副词，故用so。
答案　C
第二节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
On the top of a tree which had lost all its other leaves，two still remained hanging from one branch：Ole and Trufa.For some reason unknown to them，Ole and Trufa had__36__all the rains and winds.But Ole and Trufa believed the answer__37__in the great love they bore one another.One leaf can do__38__for another when the wind blows，and the rain pours.__39__，Ole encouraged Trufa at every opportunity.
At times during cold and stormy nights，Ole would__40__，“My time has come，Trufa，but you hang on！”
“What for？”Trufa asked.“Without you，my life is__41__.If you fall，I'll fall with you.”
One day just as Trufa spoke these words，what they two had__42__all these months happened—a wind came up and tore Ole__43__from the branch.Soon Ole disappeared from sight and Trufa was left all alone on the tree.
As long as it was still day，Trufa managed somehow to__44__her sorrow.But when it grew dark and cold，she__45__despair.Somehow she felt that the blame for all the leaves'__46__was laid on the tree.Leaves fell，but the trunk stood tall，and was__47__rooted in the earth.No wind，or rain could__48__it.
One night，Trufa dozed off.The next morning，to her__49__she found that she was no longer__50__on the tree.The wind had blown her down while she was asleep.She__51__now that she wasn't just a leaf that__52__the wind，but that she was__53__of the universe.
Next to her lay Ole，and they__54__each other with a love.This wasn't a love that depended on chance，but a love as powerful and__55__as the universe itself.
【语篇解读】 文章主要讲述了两片叶子的爱情故事。
36．A.suffered B．survived
C．escaped D．avoided
解析　文章一开始就提到了只有两片树叶还留在树上，因此此处用survive表示“幸免于，幸存”。suffer“遭受”；escape“逃脱，避开”；avoid“避免”均不符合语境。
答案　B
37．A.resulted B．brought
C．lay D．came
解析　lie in在于。语境为“他们认为答案在于他们之间产生的爱”。
答案　C
38．A.little B．much C．favor D．few
解析　根据句意可知，在大风大雨中一片树叶能为另一片树叶所做的是很少的，故用little表示。
答案　A
39．A.But B．Still C．Though D．Otherwise
解析　Ole仍然每次都鼓励着Trufa。still“仍然，还”。but表示转折，though表示让步，otherwise“否则”均不符合语境。
答案　A
40．A.complain B．say
C．request D．announce
解析　根据上下文可知，这里是说“在寒冷的暴风雨的夜晚，Ole就会跟Trufa说……”。
答案　B
41．A.regretful B．senseless
C．different D．happy
解析　没有你，“我”的生命就没有意义。senseless“无意义的”；regretful“后悔的，抱歉的”；different“不同的”；happy“高兴的”。
答案　B
42．A.expected B．intended
C．feared D．imagined
解析　下文中提到一阵风吹来，Ole被吹掉了，这是两片叶子数月来一直害怕的事情。fear“害怕，畏惧”；expect“盼望”；intend“打算，企图”；imagine“想象，设想”。
答案　C
43．A.open B．active C．loose D．alive
解析　从下文的“Soon Ole disappeared from sight”可知Ole被风从树上吹下来了。loose符合语境。
答案　C
44．A.appreciate B．win
C．afford D．bear
解析　两片赖以生存的叶子中的一片被风吹掉了，剩下的一片肯定是很难过的，但是在白天Trufa还是将难过埋藏在心里。
答案　D
45．A.stepped into B．caught in
C．took in D．sank into
解析　上文提到Trufa白天强忍悲痛，到了晚上变得非常绝望，故选sink into “渐渐进入(消极、不快等)状态”。
答案　D
46．A.fortunes B．changes
C．misfortunes D．chances
解析　她感到落叶的不幸遭遇应该归咎于大树。misfortune“不幸”，此处指的是被大风吹落的不幸遭遇。fortune“幸运，运气”，change“改变”；chance“机会，机遇”。
答案　C
47．A.firmly B．slightly
C．deeply D．tightly
解析　句意为“叶子虽然掉了，但是树干仍然高高耸立，根深深地扎在泥土中”。firmly“坚定地，稳固地”；slightly“轻微地，稍微”；deeply“深深地”；tightly“紧紧地”。
答案　A
48．A.upset B．blow
C．touch D．make

答案　A
49．A.delight B．amazement
C．disappointment D．satisfaction
解析　从下文提到的“The wind had blown her down”，可知Trufa已经被风吹掉了，当她发现时肯定是惊讶的，故用amazement“惊愕，惊异”。delight“高兴，欣喜”；disappointment“失望”； satisfaction“满足，满意”。
答案　B
50．A.hanging B．staying
C．leaving D．sticking
解析　Trufa已经被风吹到了树下，因此她已经不在树上了。hang悬挂，符合题意。
答案　A
51．A.spoke B．remembered
C．considered D．knew
解析　本句说的是Trufa当时心里的想法，因此know“知道”符合题意。
答案　D

答案　C
第三部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节：(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A
If you travel to a new exhibit at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers，you will have chances to see some meat­eating plants.Take bladderworts，a kind of such plant，for example.They appear so small and grow in a quiet pond.But these are the fastest­known killers of the plant kingdom，able to capture a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap door!
Once the trap door closes on the victim，the enzymes(酶)similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insect.When dinner is over，the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again.
Meat­eating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesn't offer much food value.In such conditions，these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional needs over thousands of years.North America has more such plants than any other continent.
Generally speaking，the traps may have attractive appearance to fool the eye, like pitcher plants，which get their name because they look like beautiful pitchers (a container like a bottle) full of nectar(花蜜)．
The Asian pitcher plant，for example，has bright colors and an attractive half­closed lid.Curious insects are tempted to come close and take a sip，and then slide down the slippery(光滑的)slope to their deaths.
Hair­like growths along the pitcher walls ensure that nothing can escape，and the digestive enzymes can get to work.A tiny insect can be digested in a few hours，but a fly takes a couple of days.
Some of these pitchers are large enough to hold two gallons.Meat­eating plants only eat people in science fiction movies，but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discover that a pitcher plant isn't a good place to get a drink.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一些特别的植物——靠捕食动物获得生长所需养分的“食肉植物”。
56．From the first paragraph，we can know that bladderworts can________.
A．capture 50 small insects in a second
B．capture an insect in the shortest time
C．be found floating on a quiet lake
D．digest an insect in 1/50 of a second
解析　细节理解题。第一段指出，bladderworts能在1/50秒的时间内捕获一只小昆虫，是植物中已知的捕获动物速度最快的，因此选B。
答案　B
57．If the trap door of a meat­eating plant is closed，the plant________.
A．is fooling insects into taking a sip
B．is producing nectar
C．is tempting insects to come close
D．is enjoying a dinner
解析　细节理解题。第二段说，一旦“陷阱门”将猎物关起来，类似于人胃里的那些消化酶就开始慢慢地消化它了，由此判断D正确。
答案　D
58．Meat­eating plants can grow in wet and poor soil because they________.
A．can get nutrition from animals
B．don't need much food value
C．can make the most of such conditions
D．have developed digestive enzymes
解析　推理判断题。这些植物生长在潮湿贫瘠的土壤中，为获得生长所需的养分，在数千年的进化中，它们演化出了捕获昆虫的“陷阱”，由此推出它们主要从动物中获取养分，而不是从土壤中获取养分。
答案　A
59．Which of the following is the picture of the Asian pitcher plant?

解析　推理判断题。根据第四、五、六段可知亚洲捕虫草主要有这些特征：状如水瓶，颜色鲜亮，有半掩的盖子，综合此三项可知，只有A项最合适。
答案　A
B
Researchers from the University of North Carolina
in Chapel Hill found that coral coverage in the
Indo­Pacific­an area stretching from Indonesia's
Sumatra island to French Polynesia—dropped 20
percent in the past two decades.
About 600 square miles of reefs have disappeared since the 1960s，the study found，and the losses were just as bad in Australia's well­protected Great Barrier Reef as they were in poorly managed marine reserves in the Philippines.
“We found the loss of reef building corals was much more widespread and severe than previously thought，”said John Bruno，who conducted the study along with Elizabeth Selig.“Even the best managed reefs in the Indo­Pacific suffered significant coral loss over the past 20 years.”
The study，which examined 6,000 surveys of more than 2,600 Indo­Pacific coral reefs done between 1968 and 2004，found the declines began earlier than previously estimated and mirror global trends.The United Nations has found close to a third of the world's corals have disappeared，and 60 percent are expected to be lost by 2030.
The Indo­Pacific contains 75 percent of the world's coral reefs and provide a home for a wide range of marine plants and animals.They provide shelter for island communities and are key source of income，mostly from the benefits of fishing and tourism.
“ Indo­Pacific reefs have played an important economic and cultural role in the region for hundreds of years and their continued decline could mean the loss of millions of dollars in fisheries and tourism，”Selig said in a statement.“It's like when everything in the forest is gone except for little twigs(小树)．”
【语篇解读】 本文是科普阅读。由于天气变暖、疾病和海岸开发等原因，世界上大量的珊瑚礁在消失，特别是在印度洋、太平洋地区。
60．What do we know about Great Barrier Reef from the passage?
A．It is well­protected and in much better condition than elsewhere.
B．It also suffers a bad coral loss though it is well­protected.
C．Because it is well­protected，reefs have never disappeared.
D．It is as badly managed as the marine reserves in the Philippines.
解析　细节理解题。从第三段可知，在澳大利亚的大堡礁、珊瑚礁也在消失，情况跟菲律宾的一样糟糕。
答案　B
61．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．the Indo­Pacific has the largest coral coverage
B．reefs only began to disappear in the 1960s
C．coral loss has only happened in some parts of the world
D．human factors play an important role in coral loss
解析　推理判断题。从文章第一段的介绍可知，珊瑚礁的消失与三个因素有关，而气候变暖和海岸开发都有人为因素在里面。
答案　D
62．In what way are coral reefs important?
A．Many marine plants and animals live in them.
B．They can be used as building materials.
C．Many marine plants and animals feed on them.
D．They provide shelter for island residents.
解析　细节理解题。文章倒数第二段第一句说明，珊瑚礁为很多海洋动植物提供了“家”。
答案　A

How much rain has fallen on the earth in the past？
Man has not always kept weather records.Because scientists
need a way to learn about past rainfall，they study the tree
rings.
A tree's trunk(树干)grows bigger each year.Under its bark(树皮)，a tree adds a layer of new wood each year it lives.If you look at a tree stump(树桩)，you can see the layers which are called annual rings.
On some trees，all of the rings are of the same width.But the ponderosa pine(美国黄松)that grows in the American southwest have rings in different width.The soil in the southwest is dry.The pines depend on rainfall for water.In a year of good rainfall，they form wide rings.In a dry year，they form narrow ones.
Scientists don't have to cut down a pine tree to study its rings.With a special tool，they can remove a narrow piece of wood from the trunk without harming the tree.Then they look at the width of each ring to see how much rain fell in the year it formed.
Some pines are hundreds of years old and have hundreds of rings.These rings form an annual record of past rainfall in the southwest.

UK residents take over 40m holidays abroad and more than 100m overnight stays in this country each year.Choices made about where to go，how to get there and what to do while there can either benefit or harm the environment.
While on holiday
Many of the things you can do to be greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also some extra things too，like avoiding gifts made from endangered species.Here are some suggestions：
·Making the most of locally produced food and drink，and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you are visiting and reduce the need for further environmental impact from transport；
·Switching off any air conditioning，heating and lights when you're not using your accommodation will help reduce climate change effects；
·Try not to waste water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to natural habitats.
Endangered species
Some gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals，for example，animal skins，ivory，orchids，caviar，or coral.Check before you buy，but if in doubt avoid animal and plant gifts.More details of the types of products to avoid and illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.
Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting
There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment：
·There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve habitats and nature reserves；
·When you are away，or if you are looking for somewhere to visit in the UK，you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife，such as nature reserves and conservation projects.
