听第9段材料,回答第15至17题。
M:Mom,this road is so strange! It is different from the other roads.
W:Oh,it was built for the blind.They can feel and find their way to any place they want.
M:Is that so? Oh,great.Now they don’t need to get extremely expensive seeing-eye dogs(导盲犬).
W:Yeah,seeing-eye dogs are expensive but they can look after their masters without any problems.
M:But how do blind people without seeing-eye dogs have normal lives?
W:They have much less trouble in public places now thanks to good social services.You know,we have a lot of public facilities designed especially to assist the blind,such as those in elevators and on the subway.
M:Oh,yeah,I also hear a sound when I cross the street.Is that for the blind,too?
W:If there wasn’t a sound to remind blind people to be careful,they would be unable to cross safely.
M:I recall that you told me there is something that you can touch on paper money to identify how much it is.Where is that?
W:Mr.Forgetful,I told you it’s right here.Can you feel it?
M:Oh,it’s impossible for me.I feel nothing.How can blind people feel it just by touching it?

听第10段材料,回答第18至20题。
Alaska is known for its cold snowy weather.For many years,dog sleds were the only means of transportation.Some Alaskans combine fun and hard work in an annual dog-sled race.The race is the longest dog-sled race in the world.It lasts between two and three weeks and covers almost 1,700 km.The race goes across Alaska from Anchorage to Nome.It follows the trails that were once used by the people who looked for gold in Alaska’s wilderness.The race also follows the route of several brave Alaskans who brought medicine from Anchorage to Nome in the winter of 1925.They carried the badly needed medicine through a bad storm and helped save many lives.The race from Anchorage to Nome,which is held in March,is very hard for the drivers and sled dogs.Each day the dogs run for about four hours and then rest for four hours.They run day and night,and sometimes travel as much as 110 km a day.The drivers must feed and take care of the dogs at race periods.Sometimes they only sleep for about two hours each day.Because the race is so hard,many drivers do not expect to win.For most of them,just being able to finish is a victory.
18.How long is the route?
A.About 170 kilometers.
B.About 700 kilometers.
C.About 1,700 kilometers.
答案:C
19.What did the brave Alaskans bring to Nome in 1925?

第二部分 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
The London Eye,which is 443 feet in height above the Thames River,is the world’s biggest spinning structure.It is one hundred feet taller than Big Ben,and weighs 1,600 tons.It was built to celebrate the year 2000.Maybe building such a big spinning structure suggested that people longed for bigger and better things in the future.
Why did people think of building the London Eye?In fact it was inspired by great structures of the past like the very first observation wheel built for the Chicago World Expo of 1893.It’s twice the size of the wheel,but three times lighter,and much more comfortable.The London Eye is keeping natives and visitors entertained and awed(敬畏).
In the London Eye,there are 32 capsules(舱).Each of the capsules can hold up to 25 people.And they’re air-conditioned in summer,heated in winter.From these capsules the visitors can see the most beautiful views of London.
It was difficult to assemble(安装) and put a wheel of this size.And it required new technology and a lot of imagination.The parts of the London Eye were sent up the Thames River,and the wheel was assembled on temporary(暂时的) platforms on the river.Lifting it into an upright position was a major challenge.It took a week to winch(吊) it up to its final position.
Now the London Eye is regarded as a monument to new millennium(千禧年).And many visitors from all over the world come to visit it.
21.How tall is Big Ben?
A.443 feet. B.340-350 feet.
C.550 feet. D.250-260 feet.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二两句可知伦敦眼高443英尺,它比大本钟高了100英尺,由此可计算出大本钟高在340~350英尺之间。
22.Why did London build the London Eye?
A.To set a new record.
B.To celebrate the Queen’s birthday.
C.To celebrate the coming of 2000.
D.To beat the first observation wheel in Chicago.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第三句可知建伦敦眼是为了庆祝2000年的到来。
23.The underlined word “sent” in Paragraph 4 probably means .
A.launched B.set
C.made D.lifted
答案:D
解析:词义理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句可知把它直立起来是一个很大的挑战,由此可知伦敦眼是在泰晤士河上被吊起的,故在这里sent的意思同lifted。
24.From the text,we can learn that .
A.it took great trouble for people to build the London Eye
B.the London Eye has been changed into a monument
C.the latest technology was used to assemble the London Eye
D.imagination is not very important to build the London Eye
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段第一句及以下的内容可推知建造伦敦眼经历了很多困难。
B
The BBC was founded in 1922,including radio and television services.It is based in Broadcasting House in London.
The BBC is controlled by some governors chosen by the government,but these people have freedom and the government can’t interfere(干扰).That is,the BBC is supposed not to be the mouthpiece(代言人)of the government.It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio and television time to,for example,political parties and religious(宗教)groups.
There is a kind of interesting service in British-rental services.Many people prefer to rent their television sets instead of buying them.
The rent for a black and white set is about 80 pence a week(1980).The rent of a color set is more than twice that of a black and white set.If the sets go wrong,people can have them repaired free of charge or replaced immediately.
Everyone has to buy a yearly licence,since there is no advertising on BBC radio or television.It is from the sale of licences that the BBC gets most of its money.A licence for a black and white set costs 8 pounds,and for a colour set 18 pounds a year.
There are four specialized radio channels,which broadcast different kinds of programmes.Radio 1 is mainly pop music.Radio 2 deals with light music,sports and other programmes.Radio 3 broadcasts serious music,talks on serious subjects,etc.News broadcasts are mainly given by Radio 4.
There are special programmes for Northern Ireland,Scotland,Wales,and certain parts of England.It also broadcasts programmes about Britain—in many different languages as well as in English to all parts of the world.
25.The officials in charge of the BBC .
A.must say what the government wants to say
B.should give more time to political parties than to religious groups
C.are elected by the citizens from all over the country
D.can decide things without the permission of the government
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。由第二段可知,BBC不是政府的喉舌,因此A项和B项都不对;管理BBC的官员是由政府选定的,因而C项也可排除。故选D项。
26.If someone wants to watch TV at home in Britain,he .
A.has to buy a television set of his own
B.must rent a TV set
C.has to buy a licence once a year
D.can change his damaged TV set for a new one without payment
答案:C
解析:细节考查题。第五段有个关键词 “yearly”,意为“每年,年年”(once a year),故选C项。A、B、D三项说法都过于绝对,与原文不符。
27.How does BBC get most of its money?
A.It gets money from all kinds of advertisements.
B.The BBC depends on the rent of TV sets.
C.The BBC gets money mainly by selling licences and TV sets.
D.It gets its money mainly by selling licences.
答案:D
解析:细节考查题。由第五段第二句可以得出答案。
28.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.The BBC radio services include 4 radio channels.
B.The BBC broadcasts to foreign countries only in English.
C.The programmes of the four radio channels are not the same.
D.The BBC special programmes are not only for foreign countries but also for different areas in its own country.
答案:B
解析:细节考查题。文章最后一句话表明,BBC除用英文以外,还用许多种语言向世界广播。显然B项是不正确的。
C
I recently read an interesting book written by Eileen Shapiro and Howard Stevenson.The name of the book was Make Your Own Luck.
The book was based on the fact that every action we take during the course of our life is a “bet”.We bet all of the time.Everything we do in life is a bet.It is a bet that the time and resources we invest now through our actions will achieve some desired benefit as a result of those actions.
What amazed me most about this book was the way the authors were able to explain how easy it is for us to gain control of our life simply by becoming more focused on the “big goals” instead of all of the smaller ones.
This message really hit home in one of the early chapters when the authors were relating an experience they had one day while conducting a job interview for the position of manager of one of their companies.A man named Dean Kamen was one of the candidates for the position and he was asked a number of questions during the course of the interview.One of the questions was,“Imagine you get stranded(使滞留)on a deserted island.If you could choose one person to be stranded with you,who would it be?”
The authors expected Mr.Kamen to give one of the typical answers that people usually give to this question,such as a great philosopher,an athlete,a famous religious figure,or a close friend or family member. Mr.Kamen surprised the authors with his answer.He thought for a moment and then said,“The world’s best boat builder.”
Mr.Kamen realized that his “big goal” was to get off the island.He selected a companion who would be able to help him get off the island and thus control his own destiny.Needless to say,Mr.Kamen got the job.
29.What does the author want to tell us in this passage?
A.What he has learned from a book he has read.
B.How it is easy for us to gain control of our life.
C.How we should prepare for an important interview.
D.Who we should select when we are stranded on an island.
答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。由整篇文章可知,本文主要告诉我们作者读一本书后的收获。故选A项。
30.The book called Make Your Own Luck told the author .
A.everyone should have a new goal at any time
B.the time and resources we invest must pay off
C.every action we take in our life is a big goal
D.how easy it is to gain control of our life
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。由第三段中的“What amazed me most about this book was the way the authors were able to explain how easy it is for us to gain control of our life...”可知,这本书以一种易懂的方式告诉读者,我们掌控我们的生活是很容易的。故选D项。
31.From Paragraph 5,we know one answer that the authors of the book expected was .
A.the world’s best boat builder who was helpful
B.a companion who would make life much easier
C.a family member who could help escape the island
D.the person who was in charge of the island
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由第五段可知,作者们所预料的回答是“...a great philosopher,an athlete,a famous religious figure,or a close friend or family member.”,由此推出他们所预料的答案是“一个能够让留在岛上的人生活得更舒适的人”。故答案为B项。
32.The underlined word “destiny” in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by .
A.work B.city
C.fate D.love
答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。由最后一段最后一句“他选择了一个能够帮助他离开这个岛屿的同伴,因此他能够掌握自己的命运。”推出destiny的含义为“命运”。故选C项。
D
Americans use many expressions with the word“dog”.People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.They take their dogs for walks,let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.However,dogs without owners lead a different kind of life.The expression“to lead a dog’s life”describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.That means many people are competing for the same things,like good jobs.They say that to be successful,they have to work like a dog.This means they have to work very hard.Such hard work can make people dog-tired.And,the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Some people say,“Every dog has its day.”This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.To be successful people often have to learn new skills.Yet,some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks.They believe that old people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Some other people are compared to dogs in bad ways.People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog.Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they don’t want.But mean dogs are often used to guard the property,for they bark at or attack people who try to enter the property.However,sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.We say his bark is worse than his bite.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year.A rainstorm may cool the weather,but we do not want it to rain too hard.We don’t want it to rain cats and dogs.
33.A person who lives an unhappy life can be described as “ ”.
A.becoming sick as a dog
B.leading a dog’s life
C.living in a dog-eat-dog world
D.working like a dog
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。第一段的最后一句提到,“to lead a dog’s life”可用来描述生活不幸福的人,因此选B项。
34.The underlined word “mean” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “ ”.
A.violent B.selfish
C.wild D.poor
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。文中提到这种狗被用来看护宅院,如果有人想进去,狗就会狂吠或者攻击他们,且前面提到“People who are unkind or uncaring...as meaner than...”,由此推断该词的含义是“凶猛的”。
35.To support his idea,the author develops the text mainly by .
A.listing reasons B.using idioms
C.giving examples D.making comparisons
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。本文在介绍与狗有关的习语时举了各种相关的例子,因此选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
36 To begin with,cleaner environment,enjoying the game with hundreds of sports athletes and entertainment stars,and the opportunity of contacting people from all over the world seem exciting to the citizens. 37 In most cases,bidding for the Olympics is well supported by both the public and the central government.
Unfortunately,this is not the entire view of the pretty picture.If looking from another angle,the Olympic bid might bring about some side-effects to a city.
38 It includes the increasing pollution of cars,more pressure on water resources,huge amount of wasted leaflets and other materials used for public activities,which are most probably neglected.In order to broaden the streets,some trees may have to be cut.Reduction of farmland may be caused by the need of setting up new sports centers or accommodation facilities.These environmental consequences can be especially serious in a resource-limited and crowded city in a third-world country.
Besides,if not well managed and organized,the big event may not be so beneficial,and the new facilities may be forever empty after the games. 39
Finally,let’s think about the low-income groups in the city. 40 More tax,more fees,more expensive property prices,and higher cost of living.These definitely are not good news for them.
A.Hosting the Olympics surely would bring about much gain to a city.
B.We can only benefit from it for a short time.
C.What will they get from the Olympics bidding?
D.First of all,it will bring a lot of environmental problems.
E.There are many reasons for not hosting the Olympic Games.
F.There have been cases that host cities ended up with large debts.
G.Besides,it will definitely promote the emotion and pride in local people.
答案:36~40 AGDFC
第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)
第一节 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。
When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor,gave me a new English dictionary.I was 41 to see that it was an English-English dictionary,also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary. 42 it was a dictionary intended for nonnative(外来的) learners, none of my classmates had one 43 ,to be honest,I found it extremely 44 to use at first.I would look up words in the dictionary and 45 not fully understand the meanings.I was used to the 46 bilingual(双语的) dictionaries, in which the words are 47 both in English and Chinese.I really wondered why my aunt 48 to make things so difficult for me.Now,after studying English at university for three years,I 49 that monolingual dictionaries are 50 in learning a foreign language.
As I found out, there is, 51 ,often no perfect equivalence (对应)between two 52 in two languages.My aunt even goes so far as to 53 that a Chinese“equivalent”can never give you the 54 meaning of a word in English! 55 ,she insisted that I read the definition (定义)of a word in a monolingual dictionary 56 I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. 57 ,I have come to see what she meant.
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way.This dictionary uses a(n) 58 number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions.When I read these definitions,I am 59 exposed to(接触) the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 60 this,I can express myself more easily in English.
41.A.worried B.sad
C.surprised D.nervous
答案:C
解析:作者刚入大学,姑姑就给了一本英英词典,作者应感到surprised“惊讶”,毕竟以前用惯了英汉词典。surprised“惊讶的”,符合文意。worried“担心的”;sad“悲伤的”;nervous“紧张不安的”。
42.A.Because B.Although
C.Unless D.If
答案:B
解析:虽然这本词典是为讲英语的外国学生(即为非本国学生)所写,但“我”的同学却没有人有这样一本词典。although引导让步状语从句。because“因为”;unless“除非”;if“如果”。
43.A.but B.so
C.or D.and
答案:D
解析:此处应选and,表示前后两句为并列关系。
44.A.difficult B.interesting
C.ambiguous D.practical
答案:A
解析:既然是英英词典,作者一开始用起来感到相当困难是理所当然的,所以选A项。ambiguous意为“含糊的”。
45.A.thus B.even
C.still D.again
答案:C
解析:“我”经常查词典,但仍然不完全明白词典中单词的含义,故选still“仍然”。thus“因此”;even“甚至”;again“重新,再一次”。
46.A.new B.familiar
C.earlier D.ordinary
答案:B
解析:过去“我”习惯了用熟悉的英汉词典,里面的单词都是用英汉两种语言解释的。new“新的”;familiar“熟悉的”;earlier“较早的”;ordinary“普通的,平凡的”。
47.A.explained B.expressed
C.described D.created
答案:A
解析:由上题的解析可知应选A项。express“表达”;describe “描述”;create“创造”。
48.A.offered B.agreed
C.decided D.happened
答案:C
解析:“我”真纳闷姑姑怎么会作出这样的决定而使我如此为难。让某人去做某事应该是另一个人作出的决定。offer“提供;主动提出”;agree“同意”;decide“决定”;happen “发生;碰巧”。
49.A.imagine B.recommend
C.predict D.understand
答案:D
解析:经过三年的英语学习,“我”明白了英英词典对于学英语来说效果更好。imagine“想象”;recommend“建议,推荐”;predict“预测”;understand“明白,懂得”。
50.A.natural B.better
C.easier D.convenient
答案:B
解析:由上题的解析知选better“更好”。natural“自然的”;easier“更容易的”;convenient“方便的”。
51.A.at best B.in fact
C.at times D.in case
答案:B
解析:事实上,两种语言的两个单词之间经常没有完美的对应解释。at best“充其量”;in fact“事实上”;in case“万一,以防”。
52.A.words B.names
C.ideas D.characters
答案:A
解析:参见上题解析。word“单词”;name“名字”;idea“观点”;character“人物;性格;汉字”。
53.A.hope B.declare
C.doubt D.tell
答案:B
解析:姑姑竟然声称,汉语对应的某个英语单词的释义从来不会让你明白那个英语单词的确切含义。go so far as to do为英语习语,意为“竟然做……”。hope“希望”;declare “声称,断言”;doubt“怀疑”;tell“告诉,分辨”。由上下文可推知B项正确。
54.A.exact B.basic
C.translated D.expected
答案:A
解析:由上题的解析知选A项。exact“确切的”;basic“基本的”;translated“翻译的”;expected“预料的”。
55.A.Rather B.However
C.Therefore D.Instead
答案:C
解析:姑姑表明了自己的观点,因此她坚持要求“我”如果想更好地理解某个英语单词的含义,就去读英英词典中对应的该单词的(英文)释义。前后联系可知答案为therefore“因此”。rather“相当,颇”;however“然而”;instead“反而,却”。
56.A.when B.before
C.until D.while
答案:A
解析:由上题的解析可知选when。此处when意为“如果;当……时”。before“在……之前;未来得及……就……;……之后才……”;until“直到……为止”;while“当……时;虽然;尽管,然而”。
57.A.Largely B.Generally
C.Gradually D.Probably
答案:C
解析:渐渐地“我”懂得了她的意思。largely“大部分地”;generally“一般地,大体上”;gradually“逐渐地”;probably“很可能”。
58.A.extra B.average
C.total D.limited
答案:D
解析:此处表示对英语单词的释义仅仅用了有限的大约两千个单词。extra“额外的”;average“平均的”;total“总的”;limited“有限的”。
59.A.repeatedly B.nearly
C.immediately D.anxiously
答案:A
解析:每当读这些释义时,“我”一遍又一遍地接触到基础单词并且学会了如何用它们去解释一些物体和观点。repeatedly“重复地”;nearly“差不多,几乎”;immediately“立刻,马上”;anxiously“焦急不安地”。由下文语境知选A项。
60.A.According to B.In relation to
C.In addition to D.Because of
答案:D
解析:正因为如此,“我”能用英语更容易地去表达自己(的观点)。according to“根据”;in relation to“与……有关系”;in addition to “除……外(还)……”;because of“因为,由于”。

Thank you for your letter.To tell you the truth,I’ve thought a lot of about whether you should buy a laptop computer help you with your study.In my opinion,you’d better not.For one reason,it’s very easy for you to develop some bad habit once you have them,such as playing computer games,see movies and so on,which will be a waste of time.For other reason,buying a laptop computer don’t mean you can study well.If you want to make a progress,you need to put your heart into your study but work hard.Whether you had a computer or not is not the most important.Do you agree to me?Looking forward to your reply!

W:Yeah,seeing-eye dogs are expensive but they can look after their masters without any problems.
M:But how do blind people without seeing-eye dogs have normal lives?
W:They have much less trouble in public places now thanks to good social services.You know,we have a lot of public facilities designed especially to assist the blind,such as those in elevators and on the subway.
M:Oh,yeah,I also hear a sound when I cross the street.Is that for the blind,too?
W:If there wasn’t a sound to remind blind people to be careful,they would be unable to cross safely.

听第10段材料,回答第18至20题。
Alaska is known for its cold snowy weather.For many years,dog sleds were the only means of transportation.Some Alaskans combine fun and hard work in an annual dog-sled race.The race is the longest dog-sled race in the world.It lasts between two and three weeks and covers almost 1,700 km.The race goes across Alaska from Anchorage to Nome.It follows the trails that were once used by the people who looked for gold in Alaska’s wilderness.The race also follows the route of several brave Alaskans who brought medicine from Anchorage to Nome in the winter of 1925.They carried the badly needed medicine through a bad storm and helped save many lives.The race from Anchorage to Nome,which is held in March,is very hard for the drivers and sled dogs.Each day the dogs run for about four hours and then rest for four hours.They run day and night,and sometimes travel as much as 110 km a day.The drivers must feed and take care of the dogs at race periods.Sometimes they only sleep for about two hours each day.Because the race is so hard,many drivers do not expect to win.For most of them,just being able to finish is a victory.

A.About 170 kilometers.

第二部分 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
The London Eye,which is 443 feet in height above the Thames River,is the world’s biggest spinning structure.It is one hundred feet taller than Big Ben,and weighs 1,600 tons.It was built to celebrate the year 2000.Maybe building such a big spinning structure suggested that people longed for bigger and better things in the future.
Why did people think of building the London Eye?In fact it was inspired by great structures of the past like the very first observation wheel built for the Chicago World Expo of 1893.It’s twice the size of the wheel,but three times lighter,and much more comfortable.The London Eye is keeping natives and visitors entertained and awed(敬畏).
In the London Eye,there are 32 capsules(舱).Each of the capsules can hold up to 25 people.And they’re air-conditioned in summer,heated in winter.From these capsules the visitors can see the most beautiful views of London.
It was difficult to assemble(安装) and put a wheel of this size.And it required new technology and a lot of imagination.The parts of the London Eye were sent up the Thames River,and the wheel was assembled on temporary(暂时的) platforms on the river.Lifting it into an upright position was a major challenge.It took a week to winch(吊) it up to its final position.
Now the London Eye is regarded as a monument to new millennium(千禧年).And many visitors from all over the world come to visit it.
21.How tall is Big Ben?
A.443 feet. B.340-350 feet.
C.550 feet. D.250-260 feet.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二两句可知伦敦眼高443英尺,它比大本钟高了100英尺,由此可计算出大本钟高在340~350英尺之间。
22.Why did London build the London Eye?
A.To set a new record.
B.To celebrate the Queen’s birthday.
C.To celebrate the coming of 2000.
D.To beat the first observation wheel in Chicago.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第三句可知建伦敦眼是为了庆祝2000年的到来。
23.The underlined word “sent” in Paragraph 4 probably means .
A.launched B.set
C.made D.lifted
答案:D
解析:词义理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句可知把它直立起来是一个很大的挑战,由此可知伦敦眼是在泰晤士河上被吊起的,故在这里sent的意思同lifted。
24.From the text,we can learn that .
A.it took great trouble for people to build the London Eye
B.the London Eye has been changed into a monument
C.the latest technology was used to assemble the London Eye
D.imagination is not very important to build the London Eye
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段第一句及以下的内容可推知建造伦敦眼经历了很多困难。
B
The BBC was founded in 1922,including radio and television services.It is based in Broadcasting House in London.
The BBC is controlled by some governors chosen by the government,but these people have freedom and the government can’t interfere(干扰).That is,the BBC is supposed not to be the mouthpiece(代言人)of the government.It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio and television time to,for example,political parties and religious(宗教)groups.
There is a kind of interesting service in British-rental services.Many people prefer to rent their television sets instead of buying them.
The rent for a black and white set is about 80 pence a week(1980).The rent of a color set is more than twice that of a black and white set.If the sets go wrong,people can have them repaired free of charge or replaced immediately.
Everyone has to buy a yearly licence,since there is no advertising on BBC radio or television.It is from the sale of licences that the BBC gets most of its money.A licence for a black and white set costs 8 pounds,and for a colour set 18 pounds a year.
There are four specialized radio channels,which broadcast different kinds of programmes.Radio 1 is mainly pop music.Radio 2 deals with light music,sports and other programmes.Radio 3 broadcasts serious music,talks on serious subjects,etc.News broadcasts are mainly given by Radio 4.
There are special programmes for Northern Ireland,Scotland,Wales,and certain parts of England.It also broadcasts programmes about Britain—in many different languages as well as in English to all parts of the world.
25.The officials in charge of the BBC .
A.must say what the government wants to say
B.should give more time to political parties than to religious groups
C.are elected by the citizens from all over the country
D.can decide things without the permission of the government
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。由第二段可知,BBC不是政府的喉舌,因此A项和B项都不对;管理BBC的官员是由政府选定的,因而C项也可排除。故选D项。
26.If someone wants to watch TV at home in Britain,he .
A.has to buy a television set of his own
B.must rent a TV set
C.has to buy a licence once a year
D.can change his damaged TV set for a new one without payment
答案:C
解析:细节考查题。第五段有个关键词 “yearly”,意为“每年,年年”(once a year),故选C项。A、B、D三项说法都过于绝对,与原文不符。
27.How does BBC get most of its money?
A.It gets money from all kinds of advertisements.
B.The BBC depends on the rent of TV sets.
C.The BBC gets money mainly by selling licences and TV sets.
D.It gets its money mainly by selling licences.
答案:D
解析:细节考查题。由第五段第二句可以得出答案。
28.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.The BBC radio services include 4 radio channels.
B.The BBC broadcasts to foreign countries only in English.
C.The programmes of the four radio channels are not the same.
D.The BBC special programmes are not only for foreign countries but also for different areas in its own country.
答案:B
解析:细节考查题。文章最后一句话表明,BBC除用英文以外,还用许多种语言向世界广播。显然B项是不正确的。
C
I recently read an interesting book written by Eileen Shapiro and Howard Stevenson.The name of the book was Make Your Own Luck.
The book was based on the fact that every action we take during the course of our life is a “bet”.We bet all of the time.Everything we do in life is a bet.It is a bet that the time and resources we invest now through our actions will achieve some desired benefit as a result of those actions.
What amazed me most about this book was the way the authors were able to explain how easy it is for us to gain control of our life simply by becoming more focused on the “big goals” instead of all of the smaller ones.
This message really hit home in one of the early chapters when the authors were relating an experience they had one day while conducting a job interview for the position of manager of one of their companies.A man named Dean Kamen was one of the candidates for the position and he was asked a number of questions during the course of the interview.One of the questions was,“Imagine you get stranded(使滞留)on a deserted island.If you could choose one person to be stranded with you,who would it be?”
The authors expected Mr.Kamen to give one of the typical answers that people usually give to this question,such as a great philosopher,an athlete,a famous religious figure,or a close friend or family member. Mr.Kamen surprised the authors with his answer.He thought for a moment and then said,“The world’s best boat builder.”
Mr.Kamen realized that his “big goal” was to get off the island.He selected a companion who would be able to help him get off the island and thus control his own destiny.Needless to say,Mr.Kamen got the job.
29.What does the author want to tell us in this passage?
A.What he has learned from a book he has read.
B.How it is easy for us to gain control of our life.
C.How we should prepare for an important interview.
D.Who we should select when we are stranded on an island.
答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。由整篇文章可知,本文主要告诉我们作者读一本书后的收获。故选A项。
30.The book called Make Your Own Luck told the author .
A.everyone should have a new goal at any time
B.the time and resources we invest must pay off
C.every action we take in our life is a big goal
D.how easy it is to gain control of our life
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。由第三段中的“What amazed me most about this book was the way the authors were able to explain how easy it is for us to gain control of our life...”可知,这本书以一种易懂的方式告诉读者,我们掌控我们的生活是很容易的。故选D项。
31.From Paragraph 5,we know one answer that the authors of the book expected was .
A.the world’s best boat builder who was helpful
B.a companion who would make life much easier
C.a family member who could help escape the island
D.the person who was in charge of the island
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。由第五段可知,作者们所预料的回答是“...a great philosopher,an athlete,a famous religious figure,or a close friend or family member.”,由此推出他们所预料的答案是“一个能够让留在岛上的人生活得更舒适的人”。故答案为B项。
32.The underlined word “destiny” in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by .
A.work B.city
C.fate D.love
答案:C
解析:词义猜测题。由最后一段最后一句“他选择了一个能够帮助他离开这个岛屿的同伴,因此他能够掌握自己的命运。”推出destiny的含义为“命运”。故选C项。
D
Americans use many expressions with the word“dog”.People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.They take their dogs for walks,let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.However,dogs without owners lead a different kind of life.The expression“to lead a dog’s life”describes a person who has an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world.That means many people are competing for the same things,like good jobs.They say that to be successful,they have to work like a dog.This means they have to work very hard.Such hard work can make people dog-tired.And,the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Some people say,“Every dog has its day.”This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.To be successful people often have to learn new skills.Yet,some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks.They believe that old people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
Some other people are compared to dogs in bad ways.People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog.Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they don’t want.But mean dogs are often used to guard the property,for they bark at or attack people who try to enter the property.However,sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.We say his bark is worse than his bite.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year.A rainstorm may cool the weather,but we do not want it to rain too hard.We don’t want it to rain cats and dogs.
33.A person who lives an unhappy life can be described as “ ”.
A.becoming sick as a dog
B.leading a dog’s life
C.living in a dog-eat-dog world
D.working like a dog
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。第一段的最后一句提到,“to lead a dog’s life”可用来描述生活不幸福的人,因此选B项。
34.The underlined word “mean” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “ ”.
A.violent B.selfish
C.wild D.poor
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。文中提到这种狗被用来看护宅院,如果有人想进去,狗就会狂吠或者攻击他们,且前面提到“People who are unkind or uncaring...as meaner than...”,由此推断该词的含义是“凶猛的”。
35.To support his idea,the author develops the text mainly by .
A.listing reasons B.using idioms
C.giving examples D.making comparisons
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。本文在介绍与狗有关的习语时举了各种相关的例子,因此选C项。

36 To begin with,cleaner environment,enjoying the game with hundreds of sports athletes and entertainment stars,and the opportunity of contacting people from all over the world seem exciting to the citizens. 37 In most cases,bidding for the Olympics is well supported by both the public and the central government.
Unfortunately,this is not the entire view of the pretty picture.If looking from another angle,the Olympic bid might bring about some side-effects to a city.
38 It includes the increasing pollution of cars,more pressure on water resources,huge amount of wasted leaflets and other materials used for public activities,which are most probably neglected.In order to broaden the streets,some trees may have to be cut.Reduction of farmland may be caused by the need of setting up new sports centers or accommodation facilities.These environmental consequences can be especially serious in a resource-limited and crowded city in a third-world country.
Besides,if not well managed and organized,the big event may not be so beneficial,and the new facilities may be forever empty after the games. 39
Finally,let’s think about the low-income groups in the city. 40 More tax,more fees,more expensive property prices,and higher cost of living.These definitely are not good news for them.
A.Hosting the Olympics surely would bring about much gain to a city.
B.We can only benefit from it for a short time.
C.What will they get from the Olympics bidding?
D.First of all,it will bring a lot of environmental problems.
E.There are many reasons for not hosting the Olympic Games.
F.There have been cases that host cities ended up with large debts.
G.Besides,it will definitely promote the emotion and pride in local people.

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。
When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor,gave me a new English dictionary.I was 41 to see that it was an English-English dictionary,also known as a monolingual(单语的) dictionary. 42 it was a dictionary intended for nonnative(外来的) learners, none of my classmates had one 43 ,to be honest,I found it extremely 44 to use at first.I would look up words in the dictionary and 45 not fully understand the meanings.I was used to the 46 bilingual(双语的) dictionaries, in which the words are 47 both in English and Chinese.I really wondered why my aunt 48 to make things so difficult for me.Now,after studying English at university for three years,I 49 that monolingual dictionaries are 50 in learning a foreign language.
As I found out, there is, 51 ,often no perfect equivalence (对应)between two 52 in two languages.My aunt even goes so far as to 53 that a Chinese“equivalent”can never give you the 54 meaning of a word in English! 55 ,she insisted that I read the definition (定义)of a word in a monolingual dictionary 56 I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. 57 ,I have come to see what she meant.
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way.This dictionary uses a(n) 58 number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions.When I read these definitions,I am 59 exposed to(接触) the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 60 this,I can express myself more easily in English.
41.A.worried B.sad
C.surprised D.nervous
答案:C
解析:作者刚入大学,姑姑就给了一本英英词典,作者应感到surprised“惊讶”,毕竟以前用惯了英汉词典。surprised“惊讶的”,符合文意。worried“担心的”;sad“悲伤的”;nervous“紧张不安的”。
42.A.Because B.Although
C.Unless D.If
答案:B
解析:虽然这本词典是为讲英语的外国学生(即为非本国学生)所写,但“我”的同学却没有人有这样一本词典。although引导让步状语从句。because“因为”;unless“除非”;if“如果”。
43.A.but B.so
C.or D.and
答案:D
解析:此处应选and,表示前后两句为并列关系。
44.A.difficult B.interesting
C.ambiguous D.practical
答案:A
解析:既然是英英词典,作者一开始用起来感到相当困难是理所当然的,所以选A项。ambiguous意为“含糊的”。
45.A.thus B.even
C.still D.again
答案:C
解析:“我”经常查词典,但仍然不完全明白词典中单词的含义,故选still“仍然”。thus“因此”;even“甚至”;again“重新,再一次”。
46.A.new B.familiar
C.earlier D.ordinary
答案:B
解析:过去“我”习惯了用熟悉的英汉词典,里面的单词都是用英汉两种语言解释的。new“新的”;familiar“熟悉的”;earlier“较早的”;ordinary“普通的,平凡的”。
47.A.explained B.expressed
C.described D.created
答案:A
解析:由上题的解析可知应选A项。express“表达”;describe “描述”;create“创造”。
48.A.offered B.agreed
C.decided D.happened
答案:C
解析:“我”真纳闷姑姑怎么会作出这样的决定而使我如此为难。让某人去做某事应该是另一个人作出的决定。offer“提供;主动提出”;agree“同意”;decide“决定”;happen “发生;碰巧”。
49.A.imagine B.recommend
C.predict D.understand
答案:D
解析:经过三年的英语学习,“我”明白了英英词典对于学英语来说效果更好。imagine“想象”;recommend“建议,推荐”;predict“预测”;understand“明白,懂得”。
50.A.natural B.better
C.easier D.convenient
答案:B
解析:由上题的解析知选better“更好”。natural“自然的”;easier“更容易的”;convenient“方便的”。
51.A.at best B.in fact
C.at times D.in case
答案:B
解析:事实上,两种语言的两个单词之间经常没有完美的对应解释。at best“充其量”;in fact“事实上”;in case“万一,以防”。
52.A.words B.names
C.ideas D.characters
答案:A
解析:参见上题解析。word“单词”;name“名字”;idea“观点”;character“人物;性格;汉字”。
53.A.hope B.declare
C.doubt D.tell
答案:B
解析:姑姑竟然声称,汉语对应的某个英语单词的释义从来不会让你明白那个英语单词的确切含义。go so far as to do为英语习语,意为“竟然做……”。hope“希望”;declare “声称,断言”;doubt“怀疑”;tell“告诉,分辨”。由上下文可推知B项正确。
54.A.exact B.basic
C.translated D.expected
答案:A
解析:由上题的解析知选A项。exact“确切的”;basic“基本的”;translated“翻译的”;expected“预料的”。
55.A.Rather B.However
C.Therefore D.Instead
答案:C
解析:姑姑表明了自己的观点,因此她坚持要求“我”如果想更好地理解某个英语单词的含义,就去读英英词典中对应的该单词的(英文)释义。前后联系可知答案为therefore“因此”。rather“相当,颇”;however“然而”;instead“反而,却”。
56.A.when B.before
C.until D.while
答案:A
解析:由上题的解析可知选when。此处when意为“如果;当……时”。before“在……之前;未来得及……就……;……之后才……”;until“直到……为止”;while“当……时;虽然;尽管,然而”。
57.A.Largely B.Generally
C.Gradually D.Probably
答案:C
解析:渐渐地“我”懂得了她的意思。largely“大部分地”;generally“一般地,大体上”;gradually“逐渐地”;probably“很可能”。
58.A.extra B.average
C.total D.limited
答案:D
解析:此处表示对英语单词的释义仅仅用了有限的大约两千个单词。extra“额外的”;average“平均的”;total“总的”;limited“有限的”。
59.A.repeatedly B.nearly
C.immediately D.anxiously
答案:A
解析:每当读这些释义时,“我”一遍又一遍地接触到基础单词并且学会了如何用它们去解释一些物体和观点。repeatedly“重复地”;nearly“差不多,几乎”;immediately“立刻,马上”;anxiously“焦急不安地”。由下文语境知选A项。
60.A.According to B.In relation to
C.In addition to D.Because of
答案:D
解析:正因为如此,“我”能用英语更容易地去表达自己(的观点)。according to“根据”;in relation to“与……有关系”;in addition to “除……外(还)……”;because of“因为,由于”。
