答案与解析
1. A
从下文的语境看，既然现在叫对方重复一遍，说明“没听清对方的最后一点”应发生在过去（即说此话之前）。
2. D
此题考查一般过去时态的被动语态。offer sb. sth.“给某人提供某物”的被动语态形式为sb. is/was offered sth.。
3. C割伤手指是已发生的事情，应用过去时。同时，when表时间的同时性，根据语境，因此用过去进行时。
4. D
always有时可与进行时态连用，含有某些感情色彩，如抱怨、厌恶、赞美等。此句表示的是抱怨。根据语境，最好选择D项。
5. C
由“我正要去洗澡”可知昨晚你打电话时“我刚刚画完”，“画完”在“打电话”之前，即过去的过去，故用过去完成时。
6. A
根据后面“我太忙”用过去时，可知这是过去的一个事实。前一句谓语用had hoped，表示的是过去未曾实现的想法或打算，可以译为“本想”。
7. B
by the end of last term意思是“到上学期末”，一直持续到“上学期末”的动作应该用过去完成时态。

Mountain lions live in mountainous areas of the western United States.
Lately, however, people have reported seeing them in quiet neighborhoods all across the country! Usually considered shy and seldom seen, these lions are becoming more noticeable. In addition, the lions appear to be moving east. They were even reported in the suburbs(郊区)of Boston, Philadelphis, and Chicago.
It seems certain that these " kings of the mountains"are moving. Why? Scientists are not sure. Some think that as the mountain lion population increases the west, younger wild cats are leaving the area. These cats are searching for new homes and new places for food.
"The young males are looking for new homes, "says Lynn Sadler, who is the director of the Mountain Lion Foundation in Sacramento,Calif. "People tend to create to many barriers(障碍), such as buidings, fences, roads, and noise. As the mountain lions seek new places and food and water sources'(水源), these barriers get in their way."
The sightings have made people increasingly watchful. Sometimes the"mountain lions"that people report seeing turn out to be large dogs or even house cats. But at least a few of the meetings have been real. The building of new roads, the growing of suburbs and the growing popularity of outdoor activities are all increasing the chances that people in various parts of the country may meet up with a mountain lion.
Because many people are concerned, about the reappearance of the American lion, an expert outlined some ways they can a- void attracting the wild cats: Never leave pets or pet food outsider properly cvare for farm animals; and plan public land use to enable the lions to move safely from one place to another.
"To be fair, "says the expert. "mountain lions are trying to regain their homes. They were here first. Now we need to find ways we can live together."
1. Mountain lions are moving probably because_________.
A. the suburbs o[ big cities are peaceful and quiet

A. the reported
sightings of mountain lions
have not
been proved

C. fences have been built to protect the ions
D. mountain lions prefer populated areas
3. To avoid attracting rnotuntain lions, People are advised_________.
A. to build more roads for the lions to move safely
B. to keep a close watch on their [arm animals
C. not to stay outdoors
D. not to raise pets
4. Which is the best title for the passage?

Giving Back Fair Way
The Westborough High School golf team had taken the of- ficial photos with the state prize. The other teams, disappoint- ed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough in- structor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards. A 9 had been recorded as a 7. They were not the state prize winner; Woburn High had won.
"No one would have known, "said Woburn's instructor, Bob Doraru For Rota, it wasn't a difficult decision." The prize wasn't ours to take. '
"Coin Stars"
"College students are lazy, but they also want to help" says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork. So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms. Her" Change for Change" effort has collected $ 40,000 for charities (慈善机构) , which were decided upon by students. Never Forgotten A school in Massachusetts received a $ 9. 5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth But it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school Records showed the LeBermuth came from Belgium and studied in the school in the 1920s. When his family fell on hard times, he was offered free room and board. LeBermuth became a trader, owned shares of AT&T and lived off the earnings until he died, at age 89.
1. What did Greg Rota probably do in the end?
A. Took photos of Doran.
B. Had a meeting with Doran.
C. Returned the prize to the organizer.
D. Apologized to Woburn High Schook
答案: C
指导：考查根据文章内容进行推理判断的能力。获奖队 的教练自己发现了错误，而且决定这个奖不能拿，那么接下来推断肯定是要把奖送回去。
2. Greg Rota's decision shows that he was _______.
A. honest
B. polite
C. careful
D. friendly
答案: A
指导：考查根据文章内容进行推理判断的能力。从Greg Rota自己发现错误到决定把奖送回，表明他性格中的诚实。因此答案为honest．
3. The underlined word "Change" in the second paragraph means_______.
A. Idea
B. Decision
C. Cups
D. Coins
答案: D
指导：考查猜测词义的能力。Change for Change中的第一个change指的是“零钱”，第二个change是表示“变化”。两个change在一起肯定意思不同，关键在于首先应该明白change的不同含义，再根据文章内容进行判断。因为募集的零钱都捐给了慈善机构，改变了其他一些人的生活。所以介词for后面的change应该是目的表“变化”，那么第一个就是“零钱”。
4. What did the school officials do after receiving the check from Mr. LeBermuth?
A They tried to find out why he gave them the money.
B. They went to Belgium to pay their respects to him.
C. They dug out the records that were buried underground.
D. They decided to offer their students free room and board.

5. Jacques LBermuth gave the money to the school because_______.
A. the school asked for it
B. he had no need for that much money
C. the school had helped him in the past
D. he wanted to be remembered by the students
答案: C
指导：考查根据文章内容进行推理判断的能力。学校在Jacques LeB-ermuth困难的时候帮助过他，所以他寄来950万美元的支票回报学校。
