W: Would you stop the car so that we can have a drink?
M: I'd love to, but we have to continue driving so that we can get to Big King Hotel before dark.
Text 3
M: I have plenty of good ideas, but I haven't been able to organise them clearly. May I hand in the paper a few days late.
W: You know that I always prefer a wellwritten paper even if it is late.
Text 4
W:
Guess what? I got an email from Tom. He's started at a new school.
M: Oh, why? What's he done wrong?
W: It's not that. His father changed jobs and they've moved to Milan.
Text 5
W: When does the next train leave for the city?
M: At about 4:00 pm.
W: What's the fare?
M: It is 150 dollars including ten percent of tax.
Text 6
M: When are you off then?
W: I'm leaving on Sunday night.
M: What's your schedule?
W: I arrive in Wellington on Monday, attend a conference there on Tuesday and leave for Brisbane early Wednesday morning.
M: How long will you stay there?
W: I'll see our new agent Mr Green there on Thursday. I'm free on Friday, but I'm catching the 10 o'clock plane on Saturday to go to the fair in Sydney.
M: You've got a full schedule.
Text 7
W: Hello, John. How are you feeling now?
M: Awful.
W: Shall I open the window? It's a lovely day.
M: No, thank you, Susan. I'm cold.
W: Shall I put the fire on?

M: Do you have any particular colour in mind?
W: I don't know really. Can you tell me what fashionable colours do you have?
M: Certainly. Red is very popular this year.
W: Good. I like the colour. It suits me very well. It's a cheerful colour, isn't it?
M: Yes, madam, I guess so. What size do you wear?
W: Well, I used to wear size 14, but I've put on some weight recently, so my size now may be 16.
M: Mm, 16. Here it is. All these are 16.
W: I like this one very much. What is the price?
M: It's $185, madam.
W: Oh, that is too expensive. Do you have any cheaper ones of this size?

Text 9
W: So what do you think of Liverpool, Lars?
M: It's really interesting. Liverpool's such an old city, isn't it? There are some lovely buildings, and the people are so friendly!
W: Yes, they are. When did you get here?
M: Two days ago. I got the plane from Oslo. We were a bit late landing, but it didn't matter.
W: Oh, good. Where are you staying in Liverpool?
M: At the Grand Hotel. It's very convenient for the office. My room isn't very big, but it's OK.
W: What a pity! Never mind. Where are you from?
M: Well, from Norway. I was born in Bergen, but I live in the suburb of Oslo. It's very pretty, and it's not far from the sea.
W: Really? It sounds beautiful. Your English is very good. Where did you learn it?
M: That's very kind of you, but I know I make a lot of mistakes. I learned it at school for years, and I've been to England quite a few times.
Text 10
W: Right, perhaps you could tell me something about how you got interested in environmental science, and what experience you have in the subject.
M: Well, I've always been attracted by plants and animals, and then last year a cousin of mine, Mike Proctor, invited me to Brazil. He's the head of a project there ran by a European organisation. The organisation's aim is to help groups of villages set up their own schools and medical centres. They also encourage agriculture and the setting up of businesses to sell
local products.
Anyway,
it was during my stay I really began to understand the impact of climate change. I wanted to learn more about this, so I decided to take this course.
W: And since you've been back, have you done anything to develop your interest in the area?
M: Yes.
I've read a book about energy saving.
And I was particularly interested in how the Netherlands had begun to overcome the problem. The government has introduced some really interesting projects on energy saving in cities. There's also a recycling project, which is saving a huge amount of our natural resources. What's needed now, though, is to expand work like this across the world.
W: Before we finish, have you got any questions about the course here at the college.
M: Well, no, thank you for asking.
第二部分 阅读理解(共20小题,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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.
The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.
Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.
Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales(鲸鱼).
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals.
The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected(被感染的).
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists don't think that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.
文章大意:本文叙述了研究表明噪音污染引起了海洋生物的危险,科学家将来要采取措施拯救海洋生物,阻止噪音对海洋生物的伤害,提醒我们也要意识到保护海洋生物的重要性。

The USA is a land of immigrants. Between 1815 and 1914, the world witnessed the greatest peaceful migration in its history:
35 million people, mostly Europeans, left their homelands to start new lives in America. Why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families?
First, what forced emigrants to make the decision to leave? One major cause for European farmers to leave was the rise in population which in turn led to land hunger. Another was politics. There was an increased taxation(税收) and the growth of armies, and many young men fled eastern Europe to avoid being forced to join the army.
Physical hunger provided another pressing reason. Following the collapse (衰退)of the economy of southern Italy in the 1860s, hundreds of thousands decided to start a new life in America. Religion also encouraged millions to leave the Old World.
In short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons. As a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreignborn Americans.
But what were the attractions? First of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in Europe. Next, factories were calling for workers, and pay conditions were much better than back home. Men were needed to open up the West and build the long railroads, and new towns needed settlers to live in and to develop business. There was the space for religious people to practice their faith in peace.
This immigration meant that by around the 1850s Americans of nonEnglish had started to be more than those of English. As we know, there were losers. To start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labour. Nor should we forget the equally unlucky American Indians. By 1860 there were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a mere 488,000 free blacks.
Nowadays, the USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land. As always, it remains an attractive place to those who think it will offer them a second chance.
文章大意:本文叙述了在 1815 和 1914年之间,美国成了移民最好的去处,由于政治、经济、宗教信仰等的原因,欧洲的一些人开始向美国迁移,因为在这里人们有更多的就业机会、有商机有宗教自由,现在美国仍然是许多人想去的乐土。
25.What is not the cause for people to leave their homeland?
A.The search for religious freedom.
B.The search for adventure.
C.Unwillingness to join the army.
D.Economics.
答案:B 细节理解题。根据many young men fled eastern Europe to avoid being forced to join the army.In short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons. 他们由于社会经济,宗教自由,不愿入伍等原因离开了自己的家乡,不是为了冒险,故选B。
26.Why was life of the 19th Century European farmers difficult?
A.There was no land.
B.There was no peace.
C.The population had gone down.
D.There were too many of them.
答案:D 细节理解题。根据One major cause for European farmers to leave was the rise in population which in turn led to land hunger. 农民人数的增加,而相对土地的平均少了,故选D。
27.Which of the following was not an attraction of the USA?
A.Employment
B.A healthy life
C.freedom of religionD.Business opportunities
答案:B 细节理解题。根据First of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in Europe. Next, factories were calling for workers, and pay conditions were much better than back home. Men were needed to open up the West and build the long railroads, and new towns needed settlers to live in and to develop business. There was the space for religious people to practice their faith in peace.在美国有就业机会,有商机还有宗教自由吸引了外国的移民,没有提到健康的生活,故选B。
28.What is the topic of this passage?
A.The USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land.
B.The USA is a land of immigrants.
C.Religion encouraged millions to leave the Old World.
D.About oneeighth of nonnative born Americans live in the USA in 1890.
答案:B 主旨大意题。根据The USA is a land of immigrants.文章开始点题,短文主要论述了美国为什么会成为外国移民的主要去向,故选B。

As a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.
I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew (工作人员). The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is especially afraid of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I had a sombre feeling on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me abroad, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today,I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general,for me,has always been a terrible and painful experience.Flying on Lufthansa,however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.
文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。作者的父亲经常讲其在加拿大居住和欧洲旅行的经历,这激发了作者希望走出国门看看的强烈欲望。本篇短文给我们讲述了他第一次去欧洲的难忘旅行。

答案:A 细节理解题。根据As a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad.及Being the first airline to take me abroad, 可分析,作者生活的国度是在印度(India)。故选A。
30.What made the author so interested in traveling abroad?
A.Growing up in India.
B.Once staying in Canada.
C.Once traveling to Canada with his father.

答案:D 细节理解题。根据I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest. 父亲经常讲其在加拿大居住和欧洲旅行的经历,这激发了作者希望走出国门看看的强烈欲望。故选D。

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn(孤僻) after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help. “Please God, I can't do anything more for my son. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl's absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up (哽咽) and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son, but I just don't know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It's out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.
Karl's next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parentteacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I'd play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That's when I knew I had to make you proud.”
文章大意:丈夫去世后,儿子性格变得孤僻起来,单亲母亲想尽一切办法想帮助儿子,却没有任何好转。终于一次儿子想借校长的名义跟妈妈打电话开个玩笑时听到了母亲的心声,从此振作起来,逐渐成为了母亲的骄傲……
32.According to the first report card, Karl ________.
A.often went to school late
B.failed in all the exams
C.did a good job at school
D.didn't do well at school
答案:D 推理题。根据第一段里When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year.儿子有95次旷课,六门公课不及格,由此推断儿子在学校里表现并不好,所以答案选D。
33.When the mother said “It's out of my hands.” to the headmaster, she meant that she________.
A.didn't know what to do about her son
B.would drive her son away from the house
C.had no money to support the family
D.she would have to hang up
答案:A 句意理解题。根据文章句子“I love my son, but I just don't know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It's out of my hands.”得知,母亲爱儿子,她已经竭尽全力在帮助儿子,但是毫无效果,所以最后一句It's out of my hands.是说明母亲这时的心理,感觉自己已经无能为力了,不知道该怎么做好了。所以A正确。
34.Who was it that telephoned Karl's mother that day?
A.The headmaster.
B.The school adviser.
C.Karl himself.
D.The passage doesn't tell us.
答案:C 细节题。根据最后一段中句子“Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me.直接可以得出答案为C。
35.From the passage we can learn that ________.
A.children in singleparent families always have mental problems
B.mother's love plays an important role in teenagers' life
C.parents should give their children as much help as possible
D.school education still works well without support from parents
答案:B 推断题。整篇文章都是在表明一个伟大的单亲母亲在为儿子默默地付出,用自己的真心感动儿子,使儿子振作起来。所以答案B正确,母亲的爱在青少年的生活中起着重要作用。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据对话情景和内容,从对话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__ You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:
Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating,
sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.__37__ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class.__38__ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material.__39__ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you'll remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be over worried.
__40__ You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
A.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.
B.There are other methods that might help you with your studying
C.Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
D.No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
E.This will help you understand the next class.
F.Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.
G.Maybe you are an average student.
答案:36~40 GCAEB
