2.【分析】这是一道细节题。考生只需将四个广告比较一下,我们就可以发现只有《二十一世纪英语训练中心》才进行入学考试,故D为本题最佳答案。本题难度适中,通过率为65%,区分度为0.311。
3.【分析】同上题,属细节题。此题应特别注意文章开头的一句话:"Now you are looking for a place where you can imporve English,especially your spoken English."especially为关键信息词,而在《国际社》的广告中可以看出,它有提高“说”的能力,那么B为此题的最佳答案。通过率为22%;区分度为0.097。
4.【分析】这是一道计算题。首先必须知道一个月四个星期,每周的60元×4周×4个月,便可知道D为该题的最佳答案。本题有一定难度,通过率为35%;区分度为0.300。
B
You wake up in the morning,the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time.Then the telephone rings,you say hello, and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing(令人沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.Yon are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think,but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when t hey make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others’pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people,your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When t he dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you.you feel the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co-worker,or relative.In this case,say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out-your anger back to fl negative person,but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着)you throughout the rest of your day,which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is the greater production of common energy sources, such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.
Another way is energy conservation, which means using energy more efficiently. In some cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.
Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is
getothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down. At six kilometres, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped (压;抽) down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.
1. How many ways of dealing with the energy problem are discussed in the text?
A. Two.
B. Three
C. Four.
D. Five.
2. From the text we learn that coal______.
A.is quite easy to produce
B.is not used most efficiently
【答案解析】
1.【分析】这是一道细节题。目的在考查考生捕捉文章中关键性信息的能力。在第一自然段中的one way,第三自然段的开头Another way,第三自然段的finally告诉我们B是本题的答案。
2.【分析】这是一道细节题。考生需要具备综合分析能力。本题最佳答案是B。然而如果只注意到the greater production of common energy sources而忽视了下句中的the trouble和however这两个关键的转折词,很可能选择A、C,而且C答案本身的判断也不正确,因为不仅仅“煤”是常见的能源。
3.【分析】这是一道推断作者意图题。本文第二自然段所叙说的General idea来分析,作者谈论“特别的房子”之目的是想向读者提供节能的具体实例。故B为该题的最佳答案。此题通过率为32%,区分度为0.374。
4.【分析】这是一道词义辨析题。根据该短语的上下文所述内容分析:利于地下岩层的热量是更新能源的办法之一,为此可以猜出该短语的意思是heat inside the earth,所以正确答案为C。
5.【分析】这是一道识图题。从文中To get the heat, water is pumped(压,抽)down into the rocks and back up to the surface一句,可以得出A为最佳答案。
6.【分析】这是一道计算题。根据题干所给的条件,再结合“…the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down.”一句及下一句便可推算出正确答案为B。此题通过率为47%,区分度为0.539。

Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making numsical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.
One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball (化装舞会). He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!
1. The text is mainly about _____.
A. a strange man
B. an unusual party
C. how roller skating began
D. how people enjoyed themselves in the 18th century
2. People thought Merlin was a dreamer because he ______.
A. often gave others surprises
B. was a gifted musician
C. invented the roller skates
D. was full of imagination
3. Merlin put wheels under his shoes in order to ______.
A. impress the party guests
B. arrive at the party sooner
C. test his invention
D. show his skill in walking on wheels
4. What is the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?
A. The roller skates needed further improvement.
B. The party guests took Merlin for a fool.
C. Merlin succeeded beyond expectation.
D. Merlin got himself into trouble.
【答案解析】
2.【分析】本题属于一道细节题。从文中的Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams一句,可以看出D为本题的正确答案。
3.【分析】这是一道细节题。从文章的第二自然段的最后一句可以看出Merlin想要“滑进”房间的真正目的是get a lot of attention(from the guests),故A为本题的正确答案。
4.【分析】本题属于归纳总结题。这段叙述的是“Merlin成功地拉着小提琴滑进屋子”,可不巧的是:他又遇到了意想不到的麻烦------撞碎挂在墙上的镜子。故C为本题的最佳答案。
