预测一
1.现在大学校园里，迟到、早退、旷课是常见的现象
2.保证学生的出勤率对大学教育的重要性
3.作为一个大学生应该怎样做
Attend Your Classes Regularly
Nowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from classes.And still there are some students who slip out of the classroom before the class is over(早退).Class attendance has become a thorny（棘手的；麻烦的）problem to both the students and teachers.In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly.First, it will ensure that you catch up with the teachers in your learning.That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study.Second, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers, too.Your teachers will feel bad if the students do not attend their classes, which, in turn, will affect their teaching and be no good for the students.Third, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of punctuality（准时）, which is of great importance for the students to do a good job in the future.Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes regularly from now on.And some day we’ll benefit from it.预测二

3.我的看法
Students’ Rating of Their Teachers
Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students.In some universities students’ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness..This, however, has caused great controversy.Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend the teachers’ classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers’ effectiveness.Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it.They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students’ rating forms.Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject.These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers’ colleagues.I think students’ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers’ performance.Instead of rating the teachers’ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher’s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students’ interest in the subject.点评：越来越多的高校采取让学生给老师打分的形式来了解教学反馈，并以此作为促进教学质量的有效手段。对此做法，管理部门及教学双方褒贬不一，看法迥异。本预测题为校园生活热议话题，值得关注

Secondhand Goods
In recent years, second-hand transactions have become quite common.Nowadays there are more and more secondhand goods in the market, such as secondhand books, furniture, appliances, cars, and so on.Why do so many people like to buy secondhand goods?
The following reasons can account for this phenomenon.Above all, secondhand goods are cheaper than new ones.This enables those people who have poor financial abilities to buy the things they want.Moreover, secondhand goods transactions make it possible for people to make good use of the goods which may be useless in their hands.Besides, Internet provides a more convenient and quicker transaction platform for secondhand goods.However, there are also some problems in secondhand goods transactions.For one thing, the quality of secondhand goods can not be promised and you can not enjoy the good after-sale service.For another, secondhand goods market lacks enough supervision and management, and there exist many dishonest business activities.In a
word, I think secondhand goods transaction is a good trading way, but it needs further perfection of the rules.热点作文6

Self-help Traveling of College Students
So called self-help traveling refers that travelers themselves arrange travel route, travel time, and all the other matters during travel, without any guide and team leader.Nowadays this kind of traveling model is gaining more and more popularity among college students.According to the survey, over 80% of college students prefer self-help traveling to following a tour group.Why are college students so fond of self-help traveling? Above all, self-help traveling gives travelers more freedom and space.Col
lege students don’t like being restricted.They want to arrange their travel as they wish.Moreover, self-help traveling provides college students a good chance to improve their adaptability and viability.Besides, the expenses in self-help traveling are controlled by travelers themselves.It is a good choice for those college students who have not much money for their disposal.As a college student, I enjoy self-help traveling very much, and I have benefited a lot from it.For one thing, I have appreciated many amazing scenery that those travelers who follow tour groups can not.For another, self-help travel helps me learn how to deal with people better.热点作文7

3)针对大学生使用信用卡提出你的建议
Credit Cards on Campus
In recent years, credit cards have gained more popularity among college students.With banks’ more focus on college market, an increasing number of college students have applied for credit cards and begun to consume by them.The following three factors can account for the popularity of credit cards on campus.Firstly, a credit card provides overdrawing service, which is a big attraction for those students who have not much money for their domination.Secondly, a credit card can help release financial burdens on those poor students, and hence reduce the risk of their dropping school for lacking money.Besides, many banks make some preferential policies on credit cards, like sending a gift, lowering year cost.Drawn by these policies, many college students have applied for credit cards.As far as I am concerned, it is not a bad thing for college students to own credit cards.However, there is misuse of credit cards among college students.Many students use credit cards to buy luxurious things they don’t need really, and even some of them owe a big credit card debt.Therefore, schools and banks have responsibility to let college students learn how to use credit cards properly.O
nly in this way can college students enjoy really the advantages of credit cards.热点作文8

Should Universities lower Admission Requirements for Celebrities?
In recent years, many famous universities lower admission requirements for celebrities.More and more celebrities, especially sports stars, have been admitted to famous universities even without an e
ntry examination.This phenomenon has become a subject of widespread controversy.Some people object strongly that universities lower admission requirements for celebrities.They hold that this admission pattern will damage the basic fairness rule of education.In addition, they say that if a person who has not enough academic ability is admitted to the university, it would be an insult on college education.However, still other people think it acceptable.They say that these celebrities deserve this privilege because they have proved their abilities in their field.Besides, in their opinions, these celebrities to some extent set a good model for other young people.Weighing these two arguments, I prefer the latter one.For one thing, these celebrities have sacrificed much learning time for their work, so they should be provided a better chance for learning.For another, if they accept advanced education, they could serve the society better.Therefore, I suggest that people should pay more attention to these celebrities’ efforts and contributions rather than the special treatment they enjoy.2010年12月四级作文预测题目：

Security issue may sound clichéd, but when it comes to the campus security, we have to take it seriously.Nearly every day, there are reports to the security office on campus that valuable things are stolen away.A surrounding with stealing, mugging can’t be worse for studying.In such cases, what measures should be taken to improve the campus security?
On the one hand, we students should strengthen our security awareness.Once we smell out something unusual, we should report it to the campus guard immediately.On the other hand, more equipment such as monitors should be installed on campus so as to detect crimes as soon as possible.Besides, a proper amount of security guards should be arranged to patrol the campus。
In my opinion, campus security will be improved as long as efforts are made on campus.Therefore colleges and universities should try their best to make everyone on campus safe and sound。

College Students’ Job Hunting
In recent years, college students find it increasingly difficult to get a job.It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent, well-educated, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full play.Then what underlies the strange phenomenon?
There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students aim too high.All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary, comfortable working conditions, high social status among others.Consequently, most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs(that)they consider not “good” enough.Another reason is that there is a big gap between the majors some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs, so companies think some students are not fit for the jobs.Solution to the problem requires efforts on both the society and the students.The companies should value the students with talent and knowledge while the latter should not merely aim at material gains.They should be down-to–earth in building up their career.Furthermore, they should face their weak points so as to improve themselves and be more competent.

On Cultivating the Sense of Gratitude
On college campuses across the nation, there is a noticeable phenomenon that we cannot afford to ignore: far too many young college students lack the sense of gratitude, one of the countless traditional virtues of this ancient land with a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years.These young adults were not and are not aware of the huge importance of expressing
gratitude to those who once helped them, from teachers to parents and so forth。
Personally, I deem that the root cause of students without a graceful heart is that they receive an education not valuing the moral sphere.I strongly believe that joint efforts from folks across society are the final remedy for this social headache.As young university students of the new era, we should make our own contributions to this cause.Imagine a world without the sense of gratitude.This kind of world is doomed to failure.Simply put, we should join our hands to heighten our awareness of fostering a graceful heart.Only in this way can we build our society into a harmonious one.My fellow students, I beg you to act from now on

On Uncivilized Behaviors
We cannot fail to notice that countless uncivilized behaviors exist in our daily lives, such as spitting, talking loudly, littering, saying nasty words in public places and so forth.All these are bad manners that we should not lose sight of.As an ancient land enjoying a splendid civilization spanning over 5,000 years, China is witnessing a surge in improper acts that every Chinese citizen should feel ashamed of.Uncivilized behaviors by a host of Chinese both at home and abroad have seriously affected China's image, according to an editorial posted on People Daily's official website。
As Chinese, we should not get offended when others point out our weaknesses but should focus more attention on improving ourselves.We should strive to identify the causes of those improper behaviors and find ways to eliminate them.There are a host of causes, I would argue, behind this trend.To name only one: the lack of moral education.The government should wage a massive moral campaign to fight against this trend and we ourselves should endeavor to behave decently in our daily lives.As college students of the new age, we should take the leading role。

【范文】
Nowadays, there are a considerable number of individuals who prefer to lead a low-carbon lifestyle which find expression in the fact that more and more commuters are using public transportation system in their daily life.Low carbon lifestyle can endow us and our society with numerous benefits.Firstly, it goes beyond doubt that low carbon lifestyle contributes a lot to the environmental protection and it is a favorable way to slow down the rate of climate change of our earth, which also means a lot to our health.We are supposed to undertake the responsibility to lead a low-carbon lifestyle, which is of
great significance.And there is a diversity of measures we can take so as to lead such an environmental-friendly life.For one thing, we are expected to minimize the use of private cars, which emit a large amount of greenhouse gases.For another, we are supposed to cultivate the public awareness of energy conservation for energy in the world today is decreasing rapidly.For instance, we can turn off electrical appliances if not necessary as well as using renewable materials.Furthermore, at our leisure, we can seek opportunities to plant more trees which can absorb carbon-dioxide.In brief, low-carbon lifestyle is nothing but the best choice for us and only in this way can we form a harmonious relationship with the environment.2011英语四级考试作文预测：农民工
Why Are There So Many Rural Laborers in Big Cities?
1.近年来越来越多的民工涌入大城市
2.产生这一社会现象的原因
【范文】
For a number of years, there has been a steady rise in the number of rural laborers who flood into big cities.Many men work on construction sites, while many women work as dishwashers in restaurants or babysitters for city dwellers.Three reasons, in my mind, can account for this social phenomenon.First and foremost, the limited land can no longer produce enough crops for an ever-increasing rural population.In the second place, there are far more opportunities in big cities—rural laborers dream of earning money through hard work.Last but by no means least, many of them want to live permanently in big cities, because they admire the way of living there, and wish their children to receive good education.I firmly believe that if we try our best to create a healthy social atmosphere, rural laborers will make greater contribution to our nation.【点评】
本题谈论的是一种社会现象。第一段首句引入某一现象，第二句举例说明，第三句是个过渡句，引起下面解释原因段落的第二段;第三段是简洁的结束语，其中的宾语从句嵌套一个状语从句。
范文首先指出大量农民工涌入大城市这一现象，并引出第二段所阐述的三个原因。首先，农村有限的土地不能满足日益增长的人口消费。其次，大城市有更多的工作机会。最后，农民工向往大城市的生活，想永远居住在大城市。末段总结指出，如果创造一个健康的社会环境，农民工就可以为国家做出更大的贡献。
第一段第二句中的construction site表示“建筑工地”，babysitter表示“帮人看孩子的人”。
第二段第一点中的rural指“农村的”;第三点中的permanently和admire分别指“永久地”和“羡慕”，receive education指“接受教育”。

Part ⅡReading Comprehension(35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is fol lowed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark t he corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage 1
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
The ancient Chinese called jade the stone of immortality.It has been used as adornment by women for thousands of years.
Cutting and polishing the raw stone is a tedious process.It often takes months.After initial cutting,a piece is ground to its desired form—being passed from rough to smooth grindstones.“Our job is to subtract;we cannot add,”smiles an experienced carver.
In judging jade,a little knowledge is often a dangerous thing.It is the easiest gem to imitate.Some of the cheap natural jade can be dyed to a beautiful green.Cruder imitations are made of glass or plastic;but these are easier to detect,since they are smoother than the real gem,which has a slightly uneven surface and a rather greasy look.
No two gems are alike.Jade is priced according to its colour and translucence.Prices range from a few dollars for an opaque,dull-green stone to thousands for one with a true,clear,emerald green.The guidelines for buying jade are few and simple:Buy jade only after having seen it under natural light.Use another piece of good quality for comparison.Beware on unusually low prices.Finally,go to only reputable jewellers.
21.It often takes____ to cut and polish jade.
A)a short time B)a few weeks C)years D)months
22.Before being passed through grindstones,raw jade is first____.
A)carved B)subtracted C)cut D)polished
23.People find it easy to make____.
A)good jade B)imitation jade C)beautiful jade D)genuine jade
24.A piece of “jade” made of glass or plastic is ____.
A)uneven B)greasy C)rough D)smooth
25.A good piece of jade may cost____.
A)a few dollars B)a hundred dollars C)thousands of dollars D)millions of dollars
Passage 2 Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
American Indians played a central role in the war known as the American Revoluti on.To them,however,the dispute between the colonists and England was peripheral(边缘的).For American Indians the conflict was a war for American Indian independence,and whichever side they chose they lost it.Mary Brant was a powerful influence among the Iroquois.She was a Mohawk,the leader of the society of all Iroquois matrons,and the widow of Sir William Johnson,Superintendent of Indian Affairs.Her brother,Joseph Brant, is the best-known American Indian warrior of the Revolution,yet she may have exerted even more influence in the Confederacy than he did.She used her influence to keep the western tribes of Iroquois loyal to the English king,George Ⅲ.When the colonists won the war,she and her tribe had to abandon their lands-and retreat to Canada.On the other side,Nancy Ward held positions of authority in the Cherokee nation.She had fought as a warrior in the war against the Greeks and as a reward for her heroism was made “Beloved Woman”of the tribe.This office made her chief of the women’s council and a member of the council of chiefs.She was friendly with the White settlers and supported the Patriots during the Revolution.Yet the Cherokees too lost their land.
26.What is the main point the author makes in the passage?
A)Siding with the English in the Revolution helped American Indians regain their land.
B)At the time of the Revolution,the Superintendent of Indian Affairs had li ttle power. C)Regardless of whom they supported in the Revolution,American Indians lo st their land.
D)The outcome of the Revolution was largely determined by American Indian women.
27.According to the passage,Mary Brant’s husband had been a ____.
A)government officialB)Mohawk chief C)revolutionary hero D)Cherokee council member
28.To which tribe did Nancy Ward belong?
A)Mohawk.B)Iroquois.C)Cherokee.D)Greek.
29.How did Nancy Ward gain her position of authority?
A)By bravery in battle.B)By marriage to a chief.
C)By joining the Confederacy.D)By being born into a powerful family.
30.According to the passage,what did Mary Brant and Nancy Ward have in comm on? A)Each was called “Beloved Woman”by her tribe.
B)Each influenced her tribe’s role in the American Revolution.
C)Each lost a brother in the American Revolution.
D)Each went to England after the American Revolution.
Passage 3 Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
It is in the joints of human body that movements of the bones take place.The movement itself is caused by the pull of sheets and cords of very tough tissue(组织)called muscle.Muscle tissue has the special ability to shorten itself so that the bone on which it pulls has to move.When muscle tissue shortens,it also bunches up(凸起).Muscle tissue covers the body in sheets,and bands that lie between the skin and the skeleton.The bones are the framework of the body,but the muscles fill out the body shape.Most muscles extend from one bone to another.When the muscle between the bones shortens,one bone has to move.The point where the muscle is fastened to the unmoving bone is called the origin of the muscle, whereas the point where the muscle is fastened to the bone that is to be moved is called the insertion.Sometimes the muscle is not attached directly to the bone but to a tough,nonstretchable cord ,or tendon that is attached to the bone.
Muscles do not push;they can only pull.To bend the arm at the elbow,the muscle at the front of the upper arm has to shorten and bunch up.To unbend the arm,other muscles in the back of the arm have to shorten.These two sets of muscles —the front and back—are said to act in opposition to each other.When one set is working ,the other set is usually relaxed.But there are times when both of them work.Sometimes muscles are called upon to do more than simply pull in one direction.They may have to perform a turning motion.To be able to do this ,the muscle must be attached to the bone at an angle.By pulling, the muscle can cause the bone to pivot.
31.According to the passage,movement occurs when a muscle____.
A)grows B)shortens C)relaxes D)pushes
32.The point at which a muscle is attached to the bone that moves is called the ____.
A)source B)insertion C)tendon D)diaphragm
33.The phrase“called upon”in line 12 is closest in meaning to which of the
following?
A)Required.B)Visited.C)Permitted.D)Subjected.
34.The passage implies that reversing the muscle-bone movement used to bend an arm requires____.
A)the relaxation of two sets of muscles B)the use of different muscles C)a different kind of tissue D)the enlargement of the muscle
35.Why are some muscles attached to bones at an angle?
A)To cause the muscles to push.B)To strengthen the muscles.
C)To shorten tissues.D)To perform a turning action.
Passage 4 Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Of the tens of thousands of ships on the ocean bottom,only a handful,less than1 percent,contain negotiable treasure,such as gold and jewels.Most give us a different,priceless treasure—history.A sunken ship lies in trust,preserved in the airless environment of the sea,and those in deep water are especially well protected.No dry land sites anywhere—except perhaps Egyptian tombs—are in a better state of preservation than a vessel deep in the ocean.A sunken ship,therefore,can be a rare window through which a moment in time is glimpsed.
This is not to imply that sunken ships are always found intact.Most ships break up on the way down,hit the bottom at about 100 miles per hour,and become a chaotic,confusing jumble(混乱的一堆).I recall the chagrin(懊恼)of a novice diver who ,after surfacing from an underwater tour of a 400-foot ship,asked his diving buddy.“Where was the wreck?” It takes experience to actually know sunken ship when one sees it.
But no matter what its condition on the way down,a ship deteriorates much more slowly as it sinks deeper into protective layer of sand and mud.Ancient vessels have been found in remarkably good condition.In 1997 a group of marine archaeologists excavating(发掘)a 900-year-old wreck recovered engraved glassware,Greek coins,bronze kettles,and amazingly,Greek jars containing seeds,almonds,and lentile—even a plate with chicken bones.
36.Which of the following is meant by the“priceless treasure”metioned in line 2?A)Valuable information.B)Ancient coins.C)Precious stones.D)Old books.
37.The author compares a sunken ship preserved in the deep sea to which of the following?
A)A tomb in Egypt.B)A Greek jar.C)A vacuum.D)A bronze chest.
38.According to the passage,which of the following usually happens to a ship as it sinks?
A)It remains in an upright position.B)It gets transported by the currents.
C)It breaks into pieces.D)It attracts marine life.
39.Which of the following objects found on the 900-year-old wreck most surp rised the author?
A)Money.B)Jars.C)Chicken bones.D)Glassware.
40.Which of the following features of an ancient ship is of most interest to the author?
A)Speed.B)Contents.C)Location.D)Design.

试卷二 Paper Two
Part ⅣShort Answer Questions(15 minutes)
Directions:There is 1 passage in this part with five questions or unfinished statements.Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words(not exceeding 10 words)
Icebergs are among nature’s most spectacular creations,and yet most people have
never seen one.A vague air of mystery envelops them.They come into being-somewhere-in faraway,frigid(寒冷的)waters,amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence,which in most cases no one hears or sees.They exist only a short time and then slowly waste away just as unnoticed.
Objects of sheerest beauty,they have been called.Appearing in an endless variety of shapes,they may be dazzlingly white,or they may be glassy blue,green or purple,tinted faintly or in darker hues.They are graceful,stately,inspiring in calm,sunlit seas.
But they are also called frightening and dangerous,and that they are—in the nig ht,in the fog and in storms.Even in clear weather one is wise on stay a safe distance away from them.Most of their bulk is hidden below the water,so their underwater parts may extend out far beyond the visible top.Also,they may roll over unexpectedly,churning the waters around them.
Icebergs are parts of glaciers that break off drift into the water,float about awhile,and finally melt.Icebergs afloat today are made of snowflakes that have fallen over long ages of time.They embody snows that drifted down hundreds,or many thousands or some cases maybe a million years ago.The snows fell in polar regions and on cold mountains,where they melted only a little or not at all,and so collected to great depths over the years and centuries.
As each year’s snow accumulation lay on the surface,evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes slowly to lose their feathery points and become tiny grains of ice.When new snow fell on the top of the old,it too turned to icy grains.So blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer upon layer and were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper layers compressed the lower ones.With time and pressure from above,the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals,and eventually the deeper crystals merged into a solid mass of ice.
Questions:
71.Why does the author state that icebergs are rarely seen?
72.Why are icebergs dangerous according to the passage? 73.What do icebergs originate from?
74.In line 16,the expression “from above” refers to ____.
75.What’s the author’s attitude toward icebergs?

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Passage One
【文章大意】文章第一段讲述了玉石数千年来作为妇女装饰的用途。第二段讲述玉石的制
作过程，切割、打磨玉石一个历时数月的过程。第三段讲了玉的鉴别，因为玉是最好仿造 的宝石，所以对玉的了解不够是很易被骗的。第四段讲怎样买到真正的好玉，作者提出了简
便易行的四点建议即①在自然光下观察②与真正的好玉作比较③警惕便宜货④找有声誉的珠宝商购买。
21.D 由第二段第二句可知：雕琢一块玉需几个月的时间。
22.B 由第二段第二句可知：在进行磨光之前，需要修刻成需要的形状，即“往下减
而不是往上加”。
23.B 由第三段第二句可知：美玉最容易模仿。
24.D 由第三段第四句可知：较粗糙的仿制品是由玻璃和塑料制成的，但它们较易辨
认，因为它们比真的美玉更光滑。
25.C 由最后一段第二句可知：宝玉的价格从几美元到几千美元不等。这说明一块好 的玉值数千美元。
Passage Two
【文章大意】文章讲述美国印第安人在美国独立战争中扮演了重要的角色。尽管他们认为
战争是为了争取美国印第安人的独立，但不论他们参加哪一方作战(英国方或美国方)等待他们的结局都是一样的，失去自己的土地。文章举了两个人物的不同的选择来说明这样一个事实。
26.C 这一段的中心意思是：无论美洲印第安人在美国革命战争中支持谁，最终他们
都失去了他们自己的土地。文中举了两个例子来说明这一观点。
27.A 在第五句作者介绍说：Mary Brant 是Mohawk 整个Iroquios部落的首领，是印第安事务主管Sir William Johnson 的遗孀。这说明Mary Brant的丈夫曾是政府官员。
28.C 在第九句作者讲到：Nancy Ward 在Cherokee民族掌权。这说明她是属Cherokee部族。
29.A 在第十句讲到：Nancy Ward 在与希腊的交战中作战勇猛，作为对她的女英
雄行为的奖赏，她成了“Beloved Woman”(“受人爱戴的女人”)。这个职位使她成了妇女协会的头领及首领委员会的一个成员。由此可知Nancy Ward是通过她的勇敢获得她的职位的。
30.B 这道题的题意为：Mary Brant 和Nancy Ward有何共性。作者举这两个例子最终
要说明的是，无论印第安人是支持英殖民者还是支持美国，最终都没有得到应有的待遇。这
两位领袖人物的行为说明她们各自都用自己的行为影响了各自部落在革命战争中的作用。
Passage Three 【文章大意】文章第一段讲述了人体骨头的运动是由肌肉拉伸控制的。作者具体解释了肌肉控制骨骼运动的过程，位于皮肤和骨架间的肌肉附着在骨头上，当其收缩时便带动了相应骨骼的移动。第二段强调了肌肉只能收缩，不能伸展，作者通过胳臂的收缩，伸展和扭转运动讲述了不同肌肉间如何相互配合完成多种不同的手臂动作。
31.B 在第三句谈到；肌肉组织具有缩短自己的特殊能力，其用处是使它所附在其上的骨胳可以运动。这说明，当肌肉缩短时，便会产生运动。
32.B 在第九句后半部分说到：肌肉所附着的将被移动的骨胳的那个点称为附着(insertion)。
33.A 这句话的意思为：有的时候，肌肉所需做的不仅仅是单方面的拉。这里的“cal
led upon”是“required”或“needed”的意思。
34.B 这一道题的题意为：用于弯曲胳臂的肌肉骨胳运动的相反运动需要„„。从第
一段第二句话可知：伸直胳臂需要胳臂背面的其他肌肉缩短。也就是需要用不同的肌肉。
35.D 在最后一句中说到：要能做转动运动，肌肉必须以一定的角度附着在骨胳上。
这说明某些骨肉以一定的角度附在骨胳上是为了能做转动动作，故D正确。
Passage Four
【文章大意】文章第一段讲在海底成千上万的沉船中，只有不到百分之一的装有财宝，大
部分沉船的价值在于给我们提供一个了解历史的窗口，因为沉船在深海中得到了极好的保护。第二段讲了多数沉船都四分五裂，辨认尚属不易，故沉船的价值不在于它的完整。那么又是什么呢?是沉船上的物品。最后一段说明了这一点。总之，全文讲述沉船的历史价值往往在于船上的物品，虽然沉船在深海底部保存得较陆上好得多，但其在下沉过程中破坏较大，有时沉到底部时已成为难于辨认的乱七八糟的一堆，但沉船上却能发现完好的物品。透过这些物品，我们就可以了解历史，了解过去。
36.A 从上下文可知；在众多的沉船中，仅有不到1%的船里有如金子和首饰类的可流
通的财物，大部分沉船给我们的是另一种珍贵的宝物——历史。这说明，“珍贵的宝物”
在此指的是历史，即这些沉船告诉我们一些有关不同时代的信息。
37.A 在第一段第四句讲到：也许除了埃及的古墓之外，陆地上没有哪个地方比深海
能更好地保护船只了。由这句话可知：作者把保护在深海里的沉船比作埃及的古墓。
38.C 在第二段第二句讲到：大部分船在下沉过程中破碎。
39.C 在最后一句中作者介绍说：1977年，一组海洋考古学者发掘了一只有900年历史的沉船，复原了雕刻的玻璃器，希腊硬币，铜壶，更令人吃惊的是希腊的装有种子、杏仁、小扁豆的罐，甚至一只盛有鸡骨头的盘子。这说明，最令作者吃惊的是鸡骨头。
40.B 在最后一段及第一段作者分别谈到的是船内的东西。这说明作者最感兴趣的是
古船装载的东西。
Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and structure
41.C 译文：他发现不值得为他可能遇到的最坏可能做好准备。解析：find it(宾 语)+形(宾补)+to do(真正宾语)为固定结构。worthwhile常用于本固定句型中：worthy 也是形容词，做表语时需接of。
42.C 译文：我宁愿他给我一个新的而不是找人把那个旧的修理一下。解析：would rather 前后用不同的主语来表示“某人宁愿让另一个人做某事”。在这种情况下从句中谓语动词，一般用过去式表示现在或将来要做的事。当谈到过去的动作时，用过去完成时。
43.D 译文：如果我来解决这个问题，我将用不同的方式。解析：此句的条件句是
对将来事实的推测，所以应用were to +v.
44.A 译文：如果所有不同的民族行为都很相似，这个世界将会非常单调。解析：a like 是副词，表示“以相似的方式”；likable意为“让人喜欢的”；likely是形容
词，意为“可能的”；like是动词。
45.A 译文：“液体之所以像固体一样是因为他们都有一定的体积”。
解析：本题考点为in that的用法。此题为in that作连词引出一个原因，意为“因为，由于”。例如：I am happy in that I have a good job 我很快乐，因为我有一份好的工作。此外that还可和其他介词构成搭配，如：except that(要不是，但是)but that(而不是)等。
46.B 译文：乐曲非常微弱，我很难听到。解析：faint用来指觉察到的东西“微弱 的”；vague常指某种想法，意见等不明确，意为“不清楚的，模糊的”；tedious“为沉闷的，乏味的”；peculiar(to)为“独特的，特有的”。
47.D 译文：电视是另外一种既可以让我们听到，又可以让我们看到演出者的主要交 流工具。解析：句中permit与句子主语呈主动关系，故可排除A和B。C中不定式作状语表示目的，此处语法正确，但hearing不合语法。因为to see 和to hear 为as well as 连接的平行结构。故选D，D中现在分词短语做状语表示补充说明。
48.D 译文：那位老人非常幸运，活过了这次心脏手术。解析：come through 指经历危险后“活了下来”。而come to 为“苏醒”；come across为“偶然遇见或发现”；come up with为“拿出或提出(办法、答案)等。
49.C 译文：塑料纤维做成的衣服同那些由自然纤维(例如：棉花，羊毛和丝)做成的
布相比：有一些优点。解析：clothing是衣服、被褥的总称，不能用one 或the one 来指代。what相当于先行词+that,后边需跟一个从句，而made of natural fibres是一个过去分词短语，不是从句所以D项也不能入选。只能用代词that来指代clothing.
50.C 译文：人们错误认为达尔文在说猴子是人类的祖先。解析：A项successor意
为“接替人、继任者”，B项offspring意为“子孙、后代”，C项predecessor 意为“前任，前辈”；D项breeder意为“饲养员，起源者”。根据句意“人们误以为达尔文是在说猴子是人类的祖先”，C项为正确选择。
51.C 译文：和我一起吃饭，好吗?解析：祈使句和感叹句之后可以加一个附加疑问
句，使口气变得客气一些。
52.D 译文：“倾盆大雨接连不断地下了一个多星期了，致使很多地方发生了滑坡”
。解析：据句意可知，此处用完成进行时，又因动作发生在过去的过去，故用过去完成时
。注意“rain cats and dogs”为习语，意为“下倾盆大雨”。
53.A 译文：—为什么史密斯先生没有加入国际学生组织?—他反对我们收会费。解 析：在动词短语object to 后必须用名词或动名词做宾语。动名词前面可以加一个物主代词或名词的所有格来表示这一动名词的逻辑主语。其他三个选项不合语法。
54.C 译文：所谓的偶数如下：2、4、6、8等等。解析：as follows 为固定搭配，意为“如下”。
55.C 译文：他有时脾气比较坏，但在本质上他是一个好人。解析：at heart 意为
“在内心”；in heart 意为“情绪高”；with heart意为“真心的”；by heart意为“用心记”。
56.A 译文：想象力丰富的孩子总喜欢编神话故事。解析：A项imaginative 意为“
富于想象
力的，想象丰富的”；B项为imagine的分词形式；C项imaginary意为“虚构的”；D项imaginable意为“可以想象得到的”。
57.A 译文：这位诚实的老人被控这项罪名而受到起诉是不公平的。〖JP2〗解析：
accuse 和charge 都可表示“控告”，但用于不同的结构。即分别用于accuse sb.of sth.和charge sb.with sth.结构中，表示为“控告某人犯了某罪”。而blame为“指责”，用被动式时，后接for;sentence为“判刑”，后接to。
58.A 译文：英语对理工科的学生来说很重要。解析：在英语中，of加上一
类表示性质、质量、颜色、大小、类型、出身等词(其中有不少抽象名词并没有相适的形容 词)可以用来表示特征，这种of+抽象名词的结构，在句中除做表语外，还可做定语和补足语。此句中of importance相当于形容词 important，类似的一组表达法有：be of importance(help,significance,value,use,etc.)。
59.B 译文：现在，由于家用电器，家务活变得比以前容易得多了。
解析：appliances 常用于指家用电器；而instruments则多指精细工作或科学上所用的“精密仪器”；apparatus指“一套仪器；一套器械装置”；facilities“设备”，指使工作便利的工具或环境。
60.D 译文：海伦不知道我修理房子花了多少时间，如果她发现了的话，我敢肯定她永远也不会原谅我的。解析：主句为一个错综虚拟句。从句是与过去事实相反的假设，而主句则表示与现在事实相反，故用would do 而A、B、和C、都不是虚拟句式。
61.B 句意：他刚到，她就开始埋怨。
解析：在英语中以下四个副词 hardly,barely,scarcely 和no sooner 位于句首要引起主谓倒装。要注意以下两点：①记住它们的固定连接方式：hardly/barely/scarely...when;no sooner...than;②以上四种结构主句中的谓语动词用过去完成式，从句中的谓语用过去式。A、C、D三项结构时态不合要求。
62.B 译文：冰在加热后，就会变成水。
解析：分词作状语时，它的逻辑主语应是句子的主语。当句子的主语是分词动作的发出者，用现在分词；当句子的主语是分词动作的承受者，用过去分词。本题中，主语ice是heat动作的承受者，它们之间是一种被动关系，该用过去分词；为了强调分词短语所表示的是时间状语，在其前加上连词when，故B项为正确答案。
63.D 译文：你得有相隔约10米的两棵树，用它们来支撑你的帐篷。 解析：which指前面的two trees意为“在两树之间悬挂帐篷”。本句逗号后相当于非限制性定语从句，there 和them均非关系代词，where虽然可作关系副词，但不能指代前面的two trees。
64.B 译文：有证据表明，某些具体的声音，即使是六个月大的婴儿也能够辨认出来。
解析：that引导同位语从句，说明evidence其他三个词不能引导同位语从句。
65.C 译文：湖边上曾经有一些树，是吗?解析：There used to 句型上相当于ther e be句型，所以此处用be提问。动词的数应与后面的名词一致。
66.B 译文：由于他不喜欢这个电视节目，他换到另一个频道。
解析：switch to 用于带按钮开关等物体的扭转、转换。也可指转换话题；而convert to 指“从一种形式或用途转换成另一种”。turn to 意为“开始工作；开始动手”；change into为“改换成”。
67.D 译文：没有那些庞大的机器的帮助，这条河上的大桥不可能在去年建成。解
析：这是由without引起的虚拟语气。由last year可知此句与过去事实相反，故用could+完成体。should+完成体表示过去该做某事而实际上却没有做。
68.C 译文：电台、电视和出版社是三种最常见的传递新闻和信息的方式。
解析：名词前有几个修饰成分时，其排列顺序一般为：限定词→描绘形容词→表示大小，新旧的形容词→表示颜色的形容词→表示类别的形容词→表示类别的名词→名词中心词。
69.C 译文：从现在开始，我要随时知道你过得怎么样。解析：此处需用过去分词
做补语，keep myself informed of 意为“随时使自己得知”。现在分词informing 意为“通知(他人)”，且跟从句时，不需用of,故B不对。
70.A 译文：请务必把这些信送到邮局。解析：see(to it)that为固定结构，意为“务必使„„，保证使„„”。

Laid-off Workers Need Help
A total of 11.5 million workers had been laid off from the country’s money-losing or bankrupt enterprises by the end of last year,and the figure is expected to continue to rise as technology becomes more advanced and in-depth reform of state-owned enterprises takes off.
Helping to solve the re-employment problem is of vital importance to the country’s reform,development and stability.Although financial aid may help temporarily,the lasting remedy is to provide vocational training to the laid-off workers and those in danger of losing their jobs.Many laid-off workers have low technical ability,so they cannot find new jobs.Some people are skilled at their jobs,but when they are laid-off,they must learn new skills to shift to new jobs.Some statistics indicates that trained workers are three times as likely to be re-employed as those who did not participate in training programmes.
Are employment oriented training network should be formed immediately to cover as many laid-off workers as possible to enhance their abilities to face challenges.In addition,facilities and employment centres run by trade unions should join hands with local authorities to provide timely job information for the laid-off workers.

Social Practice of College Students.社会实践
1）各大学在假期都会组织学生参加各种社会实践活动2）这些活动给大学生带来了哪些好处3）参加社会实践活动应该注意些什么Social Practice of College Students Nowadays many universities encourage and organize students to take part in social practice activities.During the holidays, more and more students choose to be the volunteers, take part-time jobs, or take part in other practical activities alike.It’s obvious that social practice is playing a more and more important role in China’s college education.Undoubtedly, college students have benefited a lot from social practice.Above all, they are provided with more opportunities to contact the real world outside the campus.Moreover, in social practice activities, students can apply their knowledge to the solution to the practical problems.So their practical skills are improved greatly.Besides, social practice helps strengthen students’ sense of social responsibility.Considering the above-mentioned, I think, it is necessary for college students to participate in social practice.However, social practice may bring some problems.For example, some students spend too much time in taking part-time jobs so as to ignore their study.Therefore, we should try to balance the relationship between social practice and study.Extravagant Spending on College Campus.大学生花销1）据调查显示，现在大学生每月的花销越来越高，很多大学生花钱如流水，根本没有节俭的概念
2）分析产生这一现象的原因3）我的看法Extravagant Spending on College Campus According to a survey, in recent years the monthly expenditure of a college student has been on the sharp rise.Many college students spend money like water and have no concept of thrift in their mind.They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents before they enter into the society.This extravagant spending is mainly caused by the following factors.First of all, nowadays most of students are the only children of their families.They are the apple in their family’s eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money.Secondly, with the improvement of living standard, parents can afford higher expenditure of their children.Thirdly, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tends to need more money.Finally, campus love is also a possible factor causing extravagant spending.From my point of view, a college student, as a pure consumer, should learn to be thrifty.We should limit our expenditure on daily necessities but not buy whatever we want regardless of their prices.The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.Online Games.网络游戏1）现在有一些大学生沉迷于网络游戏，家长和学校对此忧心忡忡 2）但有人认为网络游戏并不是一无是处3）你对此的看法是……Online Games As a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students.Many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games.But as we see, some students lacking self-discipline are too much indulged in these games so that their health and academic performances are affected.This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents.However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful.They can train the ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly.Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science.More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly.From my point of view, online games are a wonderful entertainment if you play them in a clever way.When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once.But if you have enough self-control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.1.目前中国酒驾现象时有发生2.酒驾产生的原因和危害 3.如何杜绝这种现象Nowadays, the phenomenon of drunken driving has arouse wide concern among the public(在公众中引起了广泛关注).Especially the young generation living in metropolis（大都市）, tend to drive after drinking, ignoring the fact that this behavior may pose underlying threat to（对…产生潜在的威胁）their precious life and may even endanger（危害）others.Generally speaking, there are several reasons accounting for this phenomenon.Firstly, the absence of consciousness（意识的确实）of driving security may be one of the leading causes.people participate in more activities or banquets than ever before（比起以前）, where they will drink strong wine（烈酒）.Then, they may get drunk but continue to drive.Secondly, relevant laws and regulations may not have been strictly enforced（严格实施）to warn people not to drive after drinking.Drunken driving is bound to generate severe consequence if we keep turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to it（视而不见，听而不闻）.Firs and foremost, this behavior will directly threaten the safety（威胁…的安全）of drivers, passengers and pedestrians, resulting in traffic accidents, injuries and even deaths.Besides, treating the injured and repairing broken cars means a grievous waste of（令人可悲的浪费）money, time and resources.In view of the seriousness of this problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse.First, it is essential that the supervisory role（监管的作用）of laws and regulations should be strengthened to impose heavy penalty on（严惩）those who drive after drinking.Secondly, a more extensive education campaign（更大规模的教育活动）should be launched to arouse the public's consciousness of the importance of driving safety.With these measure adopted, I strongly believe that drunken driving will be things of the past（成为过去式）.使用信用卡的原因： 减轻贫困学生的经济负担

2、分析产生这一现象的原因
3、你对此的看法是……
There is a growing tendency(越来越多的趋势)nowadays that people in mounting numbers have participated in（参加）the test for national civil servants.Millions of students are full of enthusiasm about（热衷于）working as a civil servant.The following reasons can account for this kind of craze.Above all, One of the traditional notions in China is that（中国的传统观念之一是）the more stable the work is，the happier the will be.（工作越稳定，生活越幸福）.Civil servant, as one of the most stable professions in today’s China, becomes their preferable（更合意的）choice.Moreover, in recent years, the salary and welfare（收入和福利）of civil servants also ranks high(排名靠前)among various professions, which undoubtedly（毫无疑问地）attracts many graduates.Besides, the high social status of civil servants is also a factor that can’t be neglected（不容忽视的）.the craze for civil servant is a phenomenon that requires objective recognition.Graduates should not regard being a civil servant as their only choice, It is difficult to say which is the better trade(行业).one can become the master of his trade provided he is diligent and tries hard(只要肯努力，行业无贵贱，行行出状元).Moreover, If most of high quality talents gather in the government departments，it will be a waste of talents and resources and it will exert a negative impact on the(产生消极影响)long-term development of a nation.1）近年来发生在校园的意外事件不断增加，校园安全问题备受关注2）对此我们应该采取哪些措施Campus Security Security issue may sound clichéd, but when it comes to the campus security, we have to take it seriously.Nearly every day, there are reports to the security office on campus that valuable things are stolen away.A surrounding with stealing, mugging
can’t be worse for studying.In such cases, what measures should be taken to improve the campus security? On the one hand, we students should strengthen our security awareness.Once we smell out something unusual, we should report it to the campus guard immediately.On the other hand, more equipment such as monitors should be installed on campus so as to detect crimes as soon as possible.Besides, a proper amount of security guards should be arranged to patrol the campus.In my opinion, campus security will be improved as long as efforts are made on campus.Therefore colleges and universities should try their best to make everyone on campus safe and sound.（总结观点段）
1）公共场合是否应该禁止吸烟，说出你的观点2）论证你的观点Should Smoking in Public Places be Banned? Nowadays many countries in the world have passed laws to ban smoking in public places.Some smokers claim that their rights are infringed if smoking is forbidden in public places.However, most non-smokers regard the ban as good news.As far as I’m concerned, smoking should be banned in all the public places such as restaurants, theaters and public squares.On the one hand, smoking is harmful both for smokers themselves and others.It is reported that every year smoking causes millions of death around the world.On the other hand, smoking pollutes the air.Just imagine that you sit in a restaurant full of smoke, how can you enjoy your meal there? Besides, smoking is bad for the elevation of a country’s image in the world.I believe if smoking is banned in all the public places, most of us will breathe in more fresh and clean air.And the health condition of all the people will be greatly improved.
