　　M：The person I admire is Lance Armstrong.

　　W：The cyclist?

　　M：Lance Armstrong is not just like any cyclists. He's so determined that he's won the Tour de France six times. Very few men have ever done that.

　　M：Maybe I should live downtown. That's the most convenient location. And I'd be close to the nightlife.

　　W：We don't have the most exciting nightlife, you know. This isn't New York.

　　M：It's different, that's for sure.

　　W：There's a new apartment building on Bedford Street. It's very nice. But it's probably the most expensive building downtown.

　　M：I don't want to spend a lot of money. What about this neighborhood? I see some apartment buildings over there.

　　W：That's Oak Street. It's not the most beautiful street in town, but it's nice.

　　M：Well, I should look at the apartment lists in the newspaper.

　　Text 10

　　M：Hello, manager. I am David Robertson. I am making this tape to report your poor service. Thank you for listening.Last Thursday, I traveled on the 840 a．m. train from Glasgow to London King's Cross station and I was very unhappy with the service provided by your company.The train was forty minutes late leaving Glasgow, and although the guard apologized, we were not given any reason for the delay. We then had further delays when the train crew changed at Preston and had to wait thirty minutes. As a result, I missed my flight from London Heathrow Airport to Frankfort and had to wait for several hours.What's more, the service on the train was also very poor. The trip took over five hours. Unluckily, there was no restaurant on the train and there was only a bar with soft drinks. I would be very grateful if you could make up for my loss. Thank you.

　　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)

　　B．spent; wouldn't have taken

　　C．hadn't devoted; hadn't taken

　　D．hadn't spent; couldn't take

　　答案与解析：A　第一空根据时间状语用一般过去时，devote...to...“致力于，奉献于……”，第二空表示与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，应用wouldn't have done，故选A项。

　　22．I've heard ________ said that Elizabeth is a tough business woman.

　　A．itB．her

　　C．what

　　D．that

　　答案与解析：A　it是形式宾语，said是过去分词作宾语补足语。that Elizabeth is a tough business woman是真正的宾语。

　　23．Many elderly people are now not used to the ________ of modern living, which they consider is away from the old customs.

　　A．tendency

　　B．tend

　　C．trend

　　D．treat

　　答案与解析：C　句意：现在很多老年人不习惯现代的生活潮流，他们认为这种潮流远离了古老的风俗。trend指较大、较为明显的趋势和方向。tendency是tend的名词形式，指人的意愿、事物的表现、变化的趋势；treat“对待”。

　　24．We must keep a positive attitude toward the future ________ we may encounter some difficulties.

　　A．however

　　B．as if

　　C．even if

　　D．since

　　答案与解析：C　句意：即使我们将来有可能遇到一些困难，我们也必须保持乐观的态度。even if引导的让步状语从句，含有强烈的假设意味。

　　25．It has been discovered that the traffic accident ________ the driver's careless driving.

　　A．resulted in

　　B．resulted from

　　C．led to

　　D．contributed to

　　答案与解析：B　result from“由……引起；起因于”，后接表示原因的名词。result in“导致；造成”；lead to“导致”；contribute to“导致；为……做贡献/撰稿”。

　　—No, I haven't found ________， but I have bought ________.

　　B．one; it

　　C．it; it

　　27．The government is ________ to everyone to save energy in order to carry out the construction of “two­oriented society” in Wuhan and other circle cities.

　　A．attaching

　　B．adapting

　　C．adjusting

　　D．appealing

　　28．—Why didn't you tell me the truth that day?

　　—I ________， but you ________ for Shanghai when I went to see you.

　　A．did; would leave

　　B．would; had been away

　　C．would have; had left

　　D．had; were away

　　答案与解析：C　考查含蓄虚拟语气和时态。but引导的句子交代了含蓄的条件“假如你没有动身去上海的话”，所以第一空要用would have done结构，此处省略了told you the truth；第二空中的动作发生在从句动作“went to see you”以前，属于过去的过去，应该用过去完成时。

　　29．It is said that the employees who have worked here for many years will be given ________ over the newcomers.

　　A．respect

　　B．preference

　　C．consideration

　　D．advantage

　　答案与解析：B　句意：与初来乍到者不同，对那些工作多年的员工将予以优待。preference“偏爱”。respect“尊重”；consideration“考虑”；advantage“优势”。

　　30．—Our holiday cost a lot of money.

　　—Did it? Well, that doesn't matter ________ you enjoyed yourselves.

　　31．He decided to go to America alone to make his fortune without any friends or ________.

　　A．families

　　B．possession

　　C．help

　　D．possessions

　　答案与解析：D　句意：他决定只身一人去美国，举目无亲、毫无财产地白手起家。possession表示财产时多用复数来表示。A项表示“家人”时复数应为family; help“帮助”与题意不符。

　　32．Only when the final examination was coming ________ he had quite a lot to do.

　　A．he realized

　　B．he had realized

　　C．did he realize

　　D．had he realized

　　答案与解析：C　句意：只有到期末考试快要来临的时候，他才认识到他还有很多事情要做。此处only＋其所修饰的时间状语从句前置，故主句用部分倒装；同时根据时间状语从句时态为一般过去时，故主句也应用一般过去时，故选C项。

　　33．So you have to leave. How nice it ________ if you ________a bit longer!

　　A．would be; could stay

　　B．is; can stay

　　C．should be; stay

　　D．was; are able to stay

　　答案与解析：A　句意：这么说你得离开了。要是你能多呆会儿那该多好啊！从第一句可知，对方不能再呆了，所以后边应用与现在事实相反的虚拟语气，从句用过去时，主句用情态动词＋动词原形。

　　34．________ occurred to me that the murder happened ________ a rainy day.

　　A．What; in

　　B．What; on

　　C．It; in

　　D．It; on

　　答案与解析：D　句意：我想起凶杀案发生在一个雨天。It occurs/occurred to sb. that...意为“某人突然想到了……”，为固定用法，具体到某一天需用介词on。若第一空用what，则主句没有谓语，故不合题意。

　　35．—So you missed the meeting.

　　—________. I got there five minutes before it finished.

　　A．Not at all

　　B．Not exactly

　　C．Not especially

　　D．Not really

　　答案与解析：B　句意：——你错过了会议。——不完全是。我在散会前五分钟赶到了那儿。not exactly此处表示不完全否定，意为“不完全是，不全是”，符合句意。not at all“一点也不”；not especially“不特别”；not really“不很，不会吧；真的没有”。

　　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，选出最佳选项。

　　答案与解析：

　　36．D　从下文的never forgotten可知，我记不清为何争吵。

　　37．A　从下文可知，多年前的那天我得到了一个教训，至今铭记在心。

　　38．C　be convinced＝be sure，意为“确信，深信”。从下文可知，当时我坚信自己是正确的，对方是错误的。

　　39．B　下文提到了The teacher，My teacher，可知应选B项。

　　40．C　bring指“带……到某处”。其他选项不符合文意。

　　41．B　从下文的her desk可知，老师把我们带到讲桌旁，讲桌应在教室前面，故选B项。

　　42．B　place意为“放置，安置”。根据下文内容可知，老师让我们分别站(安置、放)在讲桌的两边。其他几个选项都不符合文意。

　　43．A　从上文on one side of her desk可推知我站到那个同学的对面，即讲桌的另一边，应是the other。

　　44．C　从下文的obviously和文意可知，从我这边很清晰地看到它是黑色的，故选择clearly。

　　45．C　从black和white可知，老师在问物体的颜色。

　　46．A　从上下文可知，(我看到)它明明是黑色的，而我的同学却说它是白色的，我难以置信，所以A项when符合文意。

　　47．B　从文意和上文的argument可知，我们不同意对方的意见，又开始争吵了。

　　48．A　由上文又开始了新的争吵可知，time是正确的，这一次是关于这个物体的颜色。其他选项显然与文意不符。

　　49．A　由上句的内容可知，我们交换了位置。

　　50．D　根据语境，我们两人互相交换了位置，我看到了事物的另一面，不得不承认是白色的，即我的同学刚才看到的颜色。

　　51．B　由下文from his side it was white和from my side it was black可知，物体两面的颜色不同，故differently正确。

　　52．C　still“仍然”；since“自……以来”；only“可是，不过”；also“而且”。通过上文可知，从他那面看，物体是白色的，可是从我这面看它是黑色的。只有only符合文意。

　　53．B　stand in the other person's shoes“站在别人的立场上”。stand符合文意。

　　54．A　situation“局面，情况，局势”；movement“动作”；condition“状况”；behaviour“行为”。结合语境可知situation合适。

　　55．D　通过上文可知，只有当你站在别人的立场上，从他们的角度看问题时，你才能真正理解别人，故D项truly当选。

　　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

　　I fell in love with the minister's son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese. For Christmas I prayed for the boy, Robert. When I found out that my parents had invited the minister's family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried in panic. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners?

　　On Christmas Eve, my mother created abundant Chinese food. And then they arrived—the minister's family and all my relatives. Robert greeted hello, and I pretended he__was__not__worthy__of__existence.

　　Dinner threw me deeper into disappointment. My relatives licked (舔) the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table. Robert and his family waited patiently for a large plate to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert made a face. Then my father reached his chopsticks just below the fish eye and picked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite，” he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.

　　At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and burped (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied，” explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddish face. The minister managed to bring up a quiet burp. I was shocked into silence for the rest of the night.

　　After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.” She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt. “But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud that you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.”

　　It was not until years later that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the purpose behind her particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen excellent Chinese food.

　　56. When the writer found out the minister's family would come for Christmas Eve dinner, she cried mainly because ________.

　　A. she worried about their shabby Chinese Christmas

　　B. she worried about their Chinese relatives lacking American manners

　　C. she worried about meeting the minister's family

　　D. she worried about being laughed at

　　57. What does “he was not worthy of existence” probably mean? It means ________.

　　A. the writer was not interested in his existence

　　B. he was worthless

　　C. he should not exist

　　D. the writer expected his coming

　　58. The dinner threw the writer deeper into disappointment mainly because ________.

　　A. her relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks

　　B. her father reached his chopsticks to pick fish for her

　　C. her father leaned back and burped loudly

　　D. she childishly expected all of them to act in the same way as Americans did at table

　　59. We can infer from the passage that ________.

　　A. the writer appreciated her mother's lesson years later

　　B. the writer must be proud that she is different

　　C. the mother prepared to show Chinese different food culture

　　D. the minister's family really enjoyed the food

　　答案与解析：

　　56．D　推理判断题。从第一段最后两个问句可推断出，作者担心中国过节的传统文化不符合美国人的文化习俗，餐桌上的一些“失礼”会让人家嘲笑。

　　57．A　推理判断题。文章开头说作者喜欢上了那位美国男孩，圣诞节为他祈祷，说明她对那男孩很感兴趣，肯定是盼望见到他，但出于少女的羞涩，她假装对人家不感兴趣。

　　58．D　推理判断题。A、B、C三项都是在进餐的过程中作者的亲戚们表现出的不符合美国习惯的中国人的习惯，这是作者早就担心的事情，所以在吃饭过程中作者感到越来越失望，D项可以把前三项都包括进去，比较全面。

　　59．C　推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“为了那年的圣诞晚宴，她选择了极好的中国食物”可看出，作者的母亲是想趁此机会展示中国不同的饮食文化。A项可以从文中直接得到，故排除。

　　B

　　A Divine Plan

　　At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning­disabled children, the father of one student delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by those who attended. He began with a question. “Everything God does is done with perfection. Yet, my son, Shay, cannot learn and understand things as other children do. Where is God's plan reflected in my son？”

　　The audience was stilled by the question. The father continued，“I believe that when God brings a child like Shay into the world, an opportunity to realize the Divine Plan presents itself. And it comes in the way people treat that child.”

　　Then he told the following story：

　　Shay and I walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked，“Do you think they will let me play？”

　　I knew that most boys would not want him on their team. Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball. So I approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance from his teammates. Getting none, he took matters into his own hands and said, “We are losing by six runs(得分). The game is in the eighth inning(回合). He can be on our team and we will try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning.”

　　In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. At the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the outfield.

　　In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. They had the potential to win. Would the team actually let Shay bat at this juncture and give away their chance to win the game?

　　Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat.

　　At last, understanding what the boy's intentions had been, the boys from both teams helped Shay win the game for the team and Shay was cheered as the hero.
