66.Part A Possible answer

Dear Sir or Madam，I was a tourist of your agency．I caught a bad cold during my last trip to Mount Tai．I had a fever and felt very awful．I really had no idea how to do at that moment．Fortunately，my tourist guide helped me a lot.She gave me some medicine，and prepared some porridge for me．Thanks to her warm care，I felt better very soon．1 write to show my gratitude to my guide—and your travel agency．

Many thanks．

Yours，Wang Lin

67.Part B

Possible answer: This picture shows the serious overcrowding problem in a scenic place during the national holiday．As we can see from the picture，there are tourists everywhere．There are a lot of people enjoying boating in the small lake．Almost every inch of the bridge above the lake is covered by tourists．Tourists with their children spread on the land surrounding the lake．In a word，the only impression of the scenic place on national holiday is too crowded．

The cause of the overcrowding problem is obvious．One is more and more people choose to travel during holidays．The other is the improvement of people's living standard．Here are some suggestions to avoid such a phenomenon．First，the scenic agency can show the number of the tourists who have booked the tickets on net．Those who plan to visit the scene can see the possible number of tourists beforehand．In this way，they can make another choice．Second，those who really want to enjoy their holidays had better avoid travelling in golden weeks.one who would like enjoy his holiday should be more reasonable．If all of the tourists choose to travel at the same time，no one can actually enjoy their holidays．

a pioneering study by donald appleyard made the surprise sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects a sudden increase in crime does.appleyard observed this by fir house in san francisco that looked much alike and had middle-class and working-class residents.the difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down octavia in appleyard‟s terminology while gough street(medium street)had 9,000 cars a day and franklin street(heavy street)had around 16,000 cars a day.franklin street often had as many cars in an hour as octavia street had in a day.heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash secondarily.that is, the cars didn‟t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldom picked it up.the cars, appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for.noise was a constant intrusion into their homes.many franklin street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses.most families with children had already left.conditions on octavia street were much different.residents picked up trash.they sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors.they had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on franklin.on gough street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased.people were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives.a number of families had recently moved.and more were considering it.those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.46.appleyard‟s study focuses on the influence of ______.a.traffic volume on the residents

imagine, if you will, the average games player.what do you see a guy who never grew up or a nervous 18-year-old pushing buttons on his controller, lost and alone in a violent onscreen world sorry, you lose.the average gamer is starting to look pretty much like the average person.for the first time, according to a us poll commissioned by aol games, roughly half of those surveyed, ages 12 to 55, are tapping away at some kind of electronic game—whether on a pc, a cell phone or another handheld device—for an average of three hours every week.the games people play say a lot about who they are.machines like the xbox and playstation 2 are largely the territory of twenty-something men, who prefer to picture themselves as sports „stars and racing drivers.men 50 and older prefer military games.teenage girls are much more likely than boys to play games on their phone, while older women make up the majority of people playing card games such as hearts on line.is it a good thing, all this time spent on games or is it as harmful as television, pulling people ever further from reality the aol survey suggests some players are in denial about the extent of their habit.one in 10 gamers find it impossible to resist games;1 in 4 admits to losing a night‟s sleep to play games;and another quarter has been too absorbed to have meals.but don‟t think we‟re all heading into a world with everyone plugged into, if not totally controlled by, his own game.quite the contrary: gamers appear to be more engaged with reality than other kinds of couch potatoes.according to a comprehensive survey by the entertainment software association(esa-whose members, of course, want you to think video games are healthy), gamers spend an average of 23 hours a week volunteering and going to church, concerts, museums and other cultural events.more enthusiastic gamers who play 11 hours a week or more spend ever more time out in the cultural world(34 hours).51.the aol survey finds that electronic games ______.a.do not present a violent onscreen world

the ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of africa outside the actual deserts.because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances.the female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season.when the female ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest.instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them.by the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest.because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest.during that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food.and while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers.by the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own.the female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest.the rejected eggs, however, never include any of her own.each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers.of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds.there are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night.thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs.in fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed.but even if a particular female‟s nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors.56.we learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as ______.a.it is a special kind of bird

b.it lives in large desert areas

c.it has special wings and legs

d.it is the largest bird in the world

57.normally, in every rainy season, the female ostrich produces about ______.a.12 eggs in her nest

b.18 eggs in her nest

c.20 eggs in her nest

d.30 eggs in her nest

directions: read the opinions given by five scholars on challenges facing today‟s single women.for questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar(61 to 65)to one of the statements(a to g)given below.mark your answers on answer sheet 1.what the women i spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn‟t have to make a lot of money.the emphasis was always on finding a best friend—a soul mate—someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive.so it doesn‟t seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high-achieving men.grise levison

i think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you‟d want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy.it takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk.marry brown

in recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past.several women i talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men.however, most of the women i interviewed felt that there were some men “out there” who would be attracted to smart women.the problem was finding them.donna smith

i think, for the women i talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren‟t willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals.i think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order.elizabeth budy

i think that people who have clone at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage.it‟s also true that they‟re likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them.第13页

60.b

[解析] 推理判断题。文章最后一段最后一、二句可知，有很多鸵鸟巢都会受到袭击，但因为鸵鸟不但把蛋下在自己窝里，还下在其他鸵鸟的窝里，所以当一个鸵鸟巢遭受袭击时，雌鸵鸟在其他鸟巢下的蛋还可能存活下来。故鸵鸟这样做是为了保护它的蛋。

2.the cartoon tells us a serious problem existing in the parks.many people throw litters everywhere without caring for the environment.the beautiful scenery is totally destroyed by the rubbish they throw away.with the development of our economy, people are paying less and less attention to the protection of our environment;as a result, we are facing a severe environmental problem.if we don’t protect our environment, our lives will be in great danger.we must take some measures to prevent the situation from becoming worse!

for instance, we can pick up litters and put them into the dustins, and we can teach children not to throw the litters casually.as an old saying goes, “a small act can make a big difference.” if everyone makes a contribution to the protection of our environment, i believe our world will be cleaner and more beautiful in the future, where green patches can be easily reached and the blue sky can always be seen clearly over our heads.第18页

The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams.From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family.The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots” and within seconds the dog

Iven would drop them at his feet.At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a halfounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed.A gundog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.

Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel.He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days” or “nights”.Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge.If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family.On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.

A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter.One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home.He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days;and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds.The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found.However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand.Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fiftythree pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers.Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.

46.How did the dog perform his duties?

［A］ He was delighted to show them off.

［B］ He did his best but was not often successful.

［C］ He did them quickly to get them over.

［D］ He had few opportunities to do them.

47.What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?

［A］ They are the fastest runners of all dogs.

［B］ Their teeth are removed when they are young.

［C］ They can carry birds, etc.without hurting them.

［D］ They breed well, producing many young dogs.

About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way;women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner.There are different forms of colour blindness.A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green.Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green.In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.

In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully.For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other.A green light may mean “Advance” and a red light may mean “Danger!Keep back!”, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green!Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain.In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours.There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark.They show us shape but not colour.Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside.Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.

Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours.As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes.Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.

Insects can see ultraviolet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see Xrays.The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see.Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see.Some insects have favorite colours.Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow.A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.

51.Among people who suffer from colour blindness,.

［A］ some may see everything in shades of green

［B］ few can tell the difference between blue and green

［C］ few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green

［D］ very few may think that everything in the world is in green

52.When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.

［A］ colours only

［B］ shapes and colours

［C］ shapes only

［D］ darkness only

53.According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.

［A］ because they hunt at night

［B］ because they cannot see light

［C］ because they have no cones and rods

［D］ because they have no cones

54.According to the passage, dogs and cats.

Text 3

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts.It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses.To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not.Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action.As to fears, there are, I think, wellauthenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories.Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once.Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, twoheaded dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist;and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics.I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them.If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend.

No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.

56.In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale.

［A］ cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it

［B］ will be more effective if it is adapted by parents

［C］ must be made easy so that children can read it on their own

［D］ is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory

57.According to the passage, some people who are openly against fairy tales argue that.

［A］ fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children

［B］ fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent ［C］ fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children

［D］ children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics

58.In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.［A］ told only once

［B］ repeated many times

［C］ told in a realistic setting

［D］ presented vividly

If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself.Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number.Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it.Randy

Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax.It's almost like a tax on our daily bread.In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities.So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.Sampson

The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems.We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning.That would never do.The advertisements always depict handsome, cleanshaven young men.They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy!Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!

Rowley

Of course tobacco can help government to raise money.However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other.Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease.Countless valuable lives are lost.In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether.Bernice

2.［C］对话中说“这家商店的夹克质量好”，而“另一家商店的便宜”。第二说话人认为另一家商店的便宜，说明她中意于那家商店的。故选C。

3.［A］第一说话人向第二说话人打听时间，第二说话人没手表，并建议他去问那边那位女士。因而答案是A。

4.［C］本题出现了“cotton”, “wool”, “nylon”这些干扰词，但是关键只有两句话“Are those made of cotton more expensive?” “Yes, that's right.”听懂了这句话，问题便迎刃而解了。

5.［B］这是一道态度题。对话开始时第二说话人显然有点生气，说话也是讽刺的口气。后来听了第一说话人的道歉，第二说话人也就原谅了他。

6.［D］本题的关键在于理解“the sooner the better”的含义，即越快越好，故选D。

7.［D］“running a temperature”即“having a fever”意思是“发烧”。

8.［B］“Much the same as last”：跟过去差不多。所以 Linda 的意思是：学校生活没有太多变化。

9.［C］由对话中“I warned him many times, but he wouldn't listen.”可得出答案。

10.［D］“Whether or not there'll even be a field trip has to be decided first”告诉我们“实地考察还有待决定”，故选D。

Part B

11—13 ［C］［D］［A］

“Education is made various in form, to meet the students' various needs.”

14—17 ［A］［D］［B］［C］

本段对话的主要内容是：第一说话人问及第二说话人去欧洲的事。三星期之后，第二说话人将去欧洲旅行。在她临走之前，她要去续护照，去旅行社买飞机票，以及处理好她的公寓。她不想退掉房子，因为再租一套的话不容易，但是她也不想让房子空着，白交三星期房租。第一说话人于是把他的朋友介绍给她，说他朋友可以向她转租房子。

以上四道题的答案均可从主要内容中得出。

22—25 ［B］［D］［B］［A］

这是在一个汽车旅馆发生的对话。从谈话中得知汽车旅馆本来很挤，不事先约定是住不上的。幸好有人临时退房，所以对话人之一得以住进去。在登记时就得交租金，这是旅店的规矩，其原因没有在文中明说，但可以通过排除法把其他三个备选答案排除掉，只有A 最合适。

Section Ⅱ

26.［A］

此处if意为“如果”，引导条件状语从句。

27.［D］

suggestion意为“建议”，“暗示”，“启发”；context意为“上下文”，“(文章的)前后关系”；abstract意为“摘要”，“概括”；以上三词均与本句意思不相符； information 在此处意为“知识”，全句意为：“指导教师期望学生了解所读材料中所讲的知识，即使他们不做课堂讨论或测验”。

28.［B］

ideal 在此处意为“理想的”，“称心如意的”；其余三个词均不符合本句的语义逻辑。



29.［B］

这是“ one ”用作代词时的一种常见用法。

类似例子如：He was one who never troubled about his personal comfort.

He behaves like one who has gone mad.

30.［C］

根据上下文只有C符合本句意思；for the sake of意为“为了„„之好处”，“

出于„„之兴趣”。

31.［D］

“With brief written comments”正好与后面的“Without a grade”相对，意即“附有书面评语却不打分”。

32.［C］

be responsible for...意为“有责任做„„”，“对„„有责任”，“有义务做„„”；其余三项均与本句毫不相干。

33.［C］

A、D可以首先排除；assign和distribute均有“分配”之意，但此处assign比distribute更明确地意为“分配/分派(任务、工作给某人)”。

34.［B］

根据句义判断，C、D可以首先予以排除；maximum(最大量的，最大限度的)与minimum(最

小量的，最低程度的)为一对反义词，此处minimum符合逻辑。

35.［A］

本文讨论的是有关教与学的问题，与librarian和assistant无关；就教授和学生而言，本文明

Iven 显地认为学生应当自己去利用图书馆找资料。

36.［D］

“how a university library works”意为“大学图书馆是如何运作的”。

37.［A］

particularly 此处意为“特别是”“尤其是”，；其余三个词essentially“本质上，基本上”，obviously“明显地，显而易见地”，rarely“难得，很少，极好地”均不符合本句意思。

38.［C］

“reference sources”意为“参考书的出处”或“(原始)参考资料”。

39.［D］

A、B可以排除，因为这样的情况不太可能；like意为“比较喜欢”，即prefer, choose, 但不能跟宾语从句；prefer意为“较喜欢”，“宁愿”，意即choose rather, like better可跟宾语从句。

40.［A］

此处 too 是表示程度的副词，意为“过于，太”。

41.［D］

C可以首先排除；besides, except和but均可译成“除了”，但besides与except, but的含义却完全不同：besides意为“in addition to”，“as well as”，意即“除„„之外还”；except, but意为“not including”，“but not”，意即“除去„„”，“但„„不包括，不在内”；本句的意思是：“教授们除了教学工作之外还有其他许多任务”，而不是“教授们有许多其他任务就是不教学”。

42.［B］

therefore是副词，意为“为此”，“因此”。

43.［B］

根据上下文语义，B为最佳答案。

44.［C］

此处 approach 意为“与(某人)接洽或交涉”；其余三个词的意思与本句无关。

45.［A］

此处是either...or...句型的使用，意为“或者„„ 或者„„”。

Section Ⅲ

Part A

46.［A］

文章第一段第三句话告诉我们这只狗有几项明确的职责，它利用机会来显示它的才能“ demonstrate his abilities ”，show off正是demonstrate的意思。

47.［C］文章第一段的最后一句说Prince是一条猎狗，它的特点是能衔住猎物而不伤之。甚至连牙印都不留下。由此可推出C。

48.B文章的第二段第一句说Williams是铁路工人，机车司机，他穿的蓝色制服上有股油味，故选B。

49.［B］文章第二段倒数第二句说，Williams经常睡过头，这时，Prince就会在他的卧室外不停地叫，直到把他叫醒，这一点让他的家人很烦。所以选B。

50.［D］这道题的答案需要从第三段中推理，这一段告诉我们William因为摔了一跤，在床上躺了三天，直到他起来能再穿衣服的时候他才发现钱包丢了。“got up and dressed again”中的“again”一词说明了在这三天内他一直没能起床穿衣，自然也就没机会摸衣服口袋了，这就是他这几天一直没意识到钱包丢了的原因。

51.［D］在第一段最后一句中作者说在罕见的病例中，不幸的患者会把每一种色彩都当

Iven 作是深浅不同的绿色。A、B、C的错误之处都在于对色盲人数多少的限定词some或few不够准确。

52.［C］这道细节题可以“rods”这个专业词汇帮助我们在第三段中间位置迅速定位，在这里，作者告诉我们视杆细胞(rod)在天色接近黑暗时发挥作用，他们能使我们看到物体的外形，而不是颜色。故选C。

53.［D］这道题可从第四段第一二句中找到答案，这两句告诉我们在夜晚捕食的鸟和动物的眼睛几乎没有或根本没有锥状细胞(cone)，所以不能区别颜色。而蝙蝠或猫头鹰就属于这样的动物。故D正确。

54.［B］这是道推断题，文章第四段最后一句说，猫和狗识别颜色的能力不如人类，而前文又说了不能识别颜色是因为椎状细胞少，由此，我们可以推出猫和狗的椎状细胞不如人类多。这里易误选的是A答案，注意文中的as well as是不如„„好的意思，是比较级的as...as形式，不是作为“也”意思讲的短语“as well as”。

55.［C］关于昆虫的讲述在文中的最后两段中，从这两段的叙述中，我们知道，昆虫能看到许多我们人类看不见的颜色，它们所看到紫外线和X射线，这里在讲到昆虫用的是表示类别的复数形式“insects”，代表的是所有的昆虫共有的特征，所以A、B、D的内容都是正确的，C的内容说所有的昆虫都有它们自己喜爱的颜色，而文中说的是一些昆虫有自己喜爱的颜色，所以C的内容不对，答案为C。

56.［B］答案可从第一段第二句中推出。“produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text”指的就是对童话加以改编。

57.［C］文中第二段第一句中的“arousing his sadistic impulses”即是答案所在，这里指的就是“唤起暴虐的欲望”。

58.［B］在第二段倒数第一、二句中作者解释了孩子们恐惧的原因，并讲述了消除这种恐惧的方法，即“by repetition”。

59.［C］答案也在第二段倒数第一句中，作者说多次重复一个故事会把恐惧的痛苦变为面对恐惧并战胜它的一种快乐。所以C中的帮助孩子接受恐惧最为合适。

60.［A］A项的内容不是作者的观点，而是作者在末段要批判的观点。而且作者对童话是持肯定态度的，A项内容显然是一种否定态度，因而是错误的。故答案为A。

Part B

61.［C］Hardley主要讲了吸烟与疾病的关系，他的观点其实就是两者之间有必然的联系，所以C最合适。

62.［B］Randy从另外一个角度发表自己的观点，即烟草业给国家带来了很多税收，以及由此带来的好处，故选B。

63.［E］Sampson从香烟广告这一角度而谈，他认为广告里对吸烟者的形象塑造不符合实际情况，易产生误导，用“advertisement”作为关键词可首先把选择范围缩小，比较E、F选项，不难看出E较合适。

64.［D］Rowley的观点与Randy相对，他承认烟草为政府增加收入，但他更强调为治疗和研究吸烟带来的疾病所耗费的大量资金。所以他认为从长远利益考虑，应禁烟。D选项正是这一意思的另一种表达方式。

65.［A］Bernice对吸烟持肯定态度，他认为吸烟能使他消除紧张，进行放松。他所说的感受，即“worried”“nervous”等都是从心理角度来说的，所以总结起来，可以说他认为吸烟可以带来心理方面的益处。

Part B

Should Men Be Forced by Law to Do Half the Housework?

It is really ridiculous that the Australian parliament was to lay down a law to force human being to do the housework.I can't reason out anything to explain that a government should meddle in the family life.In my opinion, nobody can divide equally the housework into two parts and tell what a man or a woman should do in a family.Husband and Wife, enjoying the same right in a family, give their deep seated love to each other.On the one hand, Wife has no obligation to shoulder the heavy burden of all the housework.Neither does Husband.On the other hand, if they deal with the housework as the businessman does in a market, the family will come to its end.When one is at home, the other is still working outside, why doesn't he or she prepare everything for him or her and give him or her a sense of having a family? Why not comfort him or her if he or she comes back exhaustedly? Why do you just force Husband to do half? Why not the whole if he is free? If he loves his wife, is it necessary to force him?Therefore, it is not reasonable for any institution to interfere in a private life.It is not necessary to force Husband to do half of housework.

［分析］

Part A

这种留言条在日常生活比较常见，与其他类型的便条并无本质上的差别。一方面作者说明，他已经按朋友的要求来车站接人了，但由于双方面的原因，不得不离开。先说明离开的原因，然后交待清楚取得联系的方法。因为二者是朋友关系，语言并不要求特别正式。

Part B

这是一个材料作文，考生可以使用材料中的语言，但不宜过多。可以使用其中的语言观点，但只是一个辅助的部分，不能占有重要的位置，可以用它们来支持说明自己的观点。第一段考生应该清楚明白地说明自己的观点：“...nobody can divide equally the housework into two parts and tell what a man or a woman should do in a family”。结尾做总结时点题，“It is not necessary to force Husband to do half of housework”。

A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the surprise sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects a sudden increase in crime does.Appleyard observed this by fir house in San Francisco that looked much alike and had middle-class and working-class residents.The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia in Appleyard’s terminology while Gough Street(MEDIUM street)had 9,000 cars a day and Franklin Street(HEAVY street)had around 16,000 cars a day.Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street had in a day.Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash secondarily.That is, the cars didn’t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldom picked it up.The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for.Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes.Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses.Most families with children had already left.Conditions on Octavia Street were much different.Residents picked up trash.They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors.They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased.People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives.A number of families had recently moved.And more were considering it.Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.46.Appleyard’s study focuses on the influence of ______.A.traffic volume on the residents

Imagine, if you will, the average games player.What do you see A guy who never grew up Or a nervous 18-year-old pushing buttons on his controller, lost and alone in a violent onscreen world Sorry, you lose.The average gamer is starting to look pretty much like the average person.上学吧欢迎您 英语试题

For the first time, according to a US poll commissioned by AOL Games, roughly half of those surveyed, ages 12 to 55, are tapping away at some kind of electronic game—whether on a PC, a cell phone or another handheld device—for an average of three hours every week.The games people play say a lot about who they are.Machines like the Xbox and PlayStation 2 are largely the territory of twenty-something men, who prefer to picture themselves as sports ‘stars and racing drivers.Men 50 and older prefer military games.Teenage girls are much more likely than boys to play games on their phone, while older women make up the majority of people playing card games such as Hearts on line.Is it a good thing, all this time spent on games Or is it as harmful as television, pulling people ever further from reality The AOL survey suggests some players are in denial about the extent of their habit.One in 10 gamers find it impossible to resist games;1 in 4 admits to losing a night’s sleep to play games;and another quarter has been too absorbed to have meals.But don’t think we’re all heading into a world with everyone plugged into, if not totally controlled by, his own game.Quite the contrary: gamers appear to be more engaged with reality than other kinds of couch potatoes.According to a comprehensive survey by the Entertainment Software Association(ESA-whose members, of course, want you to think video games are healthy), gamers spend an average of 23 hours a week volunteering and going to church, concerts, museums and other cultural events.More enthusiastic gamers who play 11 hours a week or more spend ever more time out in the cultural world(34 hours).51.The AOL survey finds that electronic games ______.A.do not present a violent onscreen world

B.no longer keep gamers from growing up

C.are no longer exclusive to young people

D.are not as popular with teenagers as before

52.Who does the author say tend to identify themselves with the characters in the game

A.Teenage gir l B.Older wome C.Men in their 20 D.Men 50 and olde

53.When asked about the extent of their habit, some players ______.A.refused to provide an answer to this question B.denied they were affected by electronic games C.wondered why they were asked such a question D.stressed their interest in playing electronic games

54.It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.electronic games are less harmful than television

B.television viewers are more realistic than gamers

C.television is more popular than electronic games

D.gamers have less self-control than TV viewers

B.think their games are healthy products

C.serve as the role models for game players D.are concerned about gamers' cultural activities Text 3

The ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts.Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances.The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season.When the 上学吧欢迎您 英语试题

female ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest.Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them.By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest.Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest.During that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food.And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers.By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own.The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest.The rejected eggs, however, never include any of her own.Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers.Of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds.There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night.Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs.In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed.But even if a particular female’s nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors.56.We learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as ______.A.it is a special kind of bird

B.it lives in large desert areas

C.it has special wings and legs

D.it is the largest bird in the world

57.Normally, in every rainy season, the female ostrich produces about ______.A.12 eggs in her nest

B.18 eggs in her nest

C.20 eggs in her nest

D.30 eggs in her nest

58.The female ostrich would push some of the eggs out of her nest because ______.A.she can only hatch her own eggs

B.those eggs are unlikely to be hatched

C.those eggs are to be hatched by other

D.she can only hatch a limited number of eggs

59.The female ostrich identifies her own eggs by their size and ______.A.color B.number C.shape D.weight

60.The female ostrich lays her eggs in her neighbors' nests most probably because ______.A.her nest-is not big enough B.she cannot protect all her eggs

C.she cannot tolerate all her eggs

D.her nest is not comfortable enough Part B

Directions: Read the opinions given by five scholars on challenges facing today’s single women.For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar(61 to 65)to one of the statements(A to G)given below.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn’t have to make a lot of money.The emphasis was always on finding a best friend—a soul mate—someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive.So it doesn’t seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high-achieving men.Grise Levison

I think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you’d want to 上学吧欢迎您 英语试题

spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy.It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk.Marry Brown

In recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past.Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men.However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men “out there” who would be attracted to smart women.The problem was finding them.Donna Smith

I think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren’t willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals.I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order.Elizabeth Budy

I think that people who have clone at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage.It’s also true that they’re likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them.Now match the name of each scholar(61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements

[A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.[B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable mar riage.[C] How to balance career with family is key to success.[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn’t a piece of cake.[F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.[G] Social assistance is needed for today’s single women.61.____________________ 62.____________________ 63.____________________ 64.____________________ 65.____________________ Section Ⅳ Writing

2.The cartoon tells us a serious problem existing in the parks.Many people throw litters everywhere without caring for the environment.The beautiful scenery is totally destroyed by the rubbish they throw away.With the development of our economy, people are paying less and less attention to the protection of our environment;as a result, we are facing a severe environmental problem.If we don’t protect our environment, our lives will be in great danger.We must take some measures to prevent the situation from becoming worse!

For instance, we can pick up litters and put them into the dustins, and we can teach children not to throw the litters casually.As an old saying goes, “A small act can make a big difference.” If everyone makes a contribution to the protection of our environment, I believe our world will be cleaner and more beautiful in the future, where green patches can be easily reached and the blue sky can always be seen clearly over our heads.上学吧欢迎您 7

Why Do Students learn English?

［参考范文］

English has been getting more and more popular in the last decade.Many countries have made English taught as the second language in schools.But why do students need English? If they do need，what do they need it for?

Different students learn English for different purposes.Most of the students learn English because they need to read English textbooks or journals and attend English lectures，while a few students use it to talk to English-speaking visitors，attend seminars，or write letters and reports.Whatever the purposes are，one thing is certain: Students need English，and English teaching should be strengthened in universities.However，the current teaching methods should be improved and the teaching materials should be updated to satisfy their needs.一、公共英语PETS三级A节作文预测

第五篇：公共英语三级写作备考指南与分析 PETS考试

公共英语三级写作备考指南与分析 PETS考试

要想在写作部分获取高分，除了平时的积累外，还有一个重要的因素就是要通晓写作方法，并具备良好的临场发挥能力。这样考生才能合理地分配时间，以适当的节奏在要求的时间内完成写作。

1．考前做好充分准备

英语写作能力的培养与其他听、说、读能力的培养是相同的，是靠平时一点一滴的积累与考前一段时间的强化训练得来的，临阵磨枪写不出好文章。首先，语言基本功要过硬，要有一定相应级别的词汇量和语法知识，而且还要有一定的英语句式运用知识，如强调句、倒装句、从句、分词短语等。在考试中要尽量避免出现单词拼写、语法及语境运用错误。其次，对此类作文的写作方法也要进行一段时间的学习并掌握好。不但要掌握理论，而且要多动笔练习。最后，复习时要多读范文，再找几篇不同类型、不同题材的范文背诵。

2．合理分配考试时间

在PETS第三级考试中，笔试共l20分钟。其中，分配给写作的时间有40分钟，虽然这部分时间相当于整份笔试试卷的1／3，但要在40分钟的时间内阅读完全部的英文指示，理解图表、图形或文字的说明，然后完成内容毫不相干的两篇作文，时间是非常紧张的。这就更需要考生合理分配时间，充分利用这有限的40分钟。

考试时，考生可以大致把这40分钟的时间分为两段：一段大约为15分钟，用于A节应用文的写作；另一段大约为25分钟，用于理解B节的信息和写作。

3．打腹稿

无论是应用文还是叙述性、描述性或说明性的文章，在动手写之前，都应先整理出文章的主要脉络。由于考试时间紧张，很难有足够的时间在纸上打草稿，所以，考生只能在脑海中完成这项工作。这样做，表面上是浪费了一点时间，但实际上在动手写作的时候会节约时间。而且，只有在脑海中先有一个清晰的脉络，才能保证文章紧扣主题，较有条理。

4．控制字数

PETS第三级大纲对写作部分A、B两节的字数有着明确的规定：A节字数少于70词、B节字数少于80词的作文将被直接归入第三档；而字数过多的作文，评分人员只对规定字数内的文章作评价。所以，考生既应保证字数达到大纲的要求，又应适可而止，以免浪费宝贵的考试时间。

大纲要求A节作文的字数为100词左右，8节的字数为120词左右。在考试中，没有必要也没有时间魏作文的字数，但是又要保证符合题目的要求，这就要求考生在平时复习阶段就学会控制字数，养成良好的习惯。平时，考生可以注意一下自己在16开的纸上写满一行大概有多少词。在考试的时候，只要发现已经大致达到题目所规定的字数，就要及时刹车。

5．保持卷面整洁

大纲中的评分标准明确指出：如书写较差，以至影响交际，将分数降低一个档次。所以考生一定要保证卷面整洁，避免因为卷面污浊而造成文章的档次降低。这也是要求打腹稿的原因之一。

6.写完后检查

最后，在写作完成后，还需要从头到尾再将文章审读一遍。这样能找出在写作过程中发现不了的一些问题，如单词拼写错误、词组搭配错误和句子语法结构错误等。同时，还需要注意自己的文章能否使目标读者理解，是否准确地表达出了自己想要表达的内容。
