阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并
在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Goldie’s Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent
her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the
night before. “We’re moving house.”; “No space for her any more with the baby
coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a
present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one
of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given
her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She
hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I
could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her ather previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down.
Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the
fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we
were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and
getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down
the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I
saw her licking （舔） the four puppies （幼犬） I started to feel sympathy towards
them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I
took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just
disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy
from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like
her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
56. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?
A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.
57. In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie .
A. I felt worried B. was angry C. ate a little D. sat by the fire
58. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .
A. saw her puppies B. heard familiar barkings
C. wanted to leave the author D. found her way to her old home
59. The passage is organized in order of .
A. time B. effectiveness C. importance D. complexity
B
Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for
you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume（简历）and photocopies of sixstories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With
great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues （问题）, approaches them,
and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I’m sure you would hate
to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really
likes his job. He has a great assignment（分工）, and said you run a great paper. It
would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He
appreciates the responsibility you’ve given him, takes ownership of his profession,
and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He
wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors
usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what
the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas
into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he’s doing and to help
him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report
it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That’s what you want for him, too,
isn’t it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---
everyone---is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to
reach their potential. If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can.
60. What does the writer think of the reporter?
A. Optimistic. B. Imaginative. C. Ambitious. D. Proud.
61. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A. Finding the news value of his stories.
B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues.
D. Improving his good ideas.62. Who probably wrote the letter?
A. An editor. B. An artist. C. A reporter. D. A reader.
63. The letter aims to remind editors that they should .
A. keep their best reporters at all costs
B. give more freedom to their reporters
C. be aware of their reporters’ professional development
D. appreciate their reporters’ working styles and attitudes
C
Pacing and Pausing
Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve’s new wife, but Betty never seemed to
have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn’t hold up her end of the conversation,
Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had
to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.
Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there’s no
problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I’m finished or
fail to take your turn when I’m finished. That’s what was happening with Betty and
Sara.
It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses
between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is
American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an
interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from
Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speaker s from Latin America
or Israel.
The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like
pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style
but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for
dangerous stereotyping（思维定式）. And these social phenomena can have very
personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US
went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the PersonnelDepartment got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break
in---and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and
confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated
at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to
speak up.
That’s why slight differences in conversational style---tiny little things like
microseconds of pause---can have a great effect on one’s life. The result in this case
was a judgment of psychological problems---even in the mind of the woman herself,
who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness
training.
64. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?
A. Betty was talkative. B. Betty was an interrupter.
C. Betty did not take her turn. D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.
65. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between
turns?
A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.
66. We can learn from the passage that .
A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing
B. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US
C. one’s inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes
D. one should receive training to build up one’s confidence
67. The underlined word “assertiveness” in the last paragraph probably means .
A. being willing to speak one’s mind
B. being able to increase one’s power
C. being ready to make one’s own judgment
D. being quick to express one’s ideas confidently
D
The Cost of Higher Education
Individuals（个人）should pay for their higher education.A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates
earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on
having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the
taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources（资源）of the
government. Using taxpayers’ money to help a small number of people to earn high
incomes in the future is not one of them.
Full government funding（资助）is not very good for universities. Adam Smith
worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and
looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off
the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were
the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the
students were similarly lazy.
If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also
demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If
that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research
interests, that is surely something to celebrate.
Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for
the economy（经济）. Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but
so do all the businesses that invest（投资）and create jobs. If you believe that the
government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically
productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business
costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the
government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should
pay for their university education.
68. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A. taxpayers B. pressing calls C. college graduates D. government resources
69. The author thinks that with full government funding .
A. teachers are less satisfied
B. students are more demanding
C. students will become more competentD. teachers will spend less time on teaching
70. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to .
A. argue against free university education
B. call on them to finance students' studies
C. encourage graduates to go into business
D. show their contribution to higher education

项中有两项为多余选项。
Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What
do you hear? 71 It’s similar to the music you listen to, but it’s not exactly the
same. That’s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you
extra energy. Sometimes you don’t even realize the music is playing, but you react to
the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called “elevator（电梯）music” because we
often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a
new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak”
every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It
is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and
four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 72
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many
of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as
Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 73
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel
less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does
what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they
hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 74 Supermarket shoppers
buy 38 percent more groceries.
75 They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But otherpeople enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel
calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows
give more milk when they hear Muzak!
A. Some people don’t like Muzak.
B. The music gives them extra energy.
C. Music is playing in the background.
D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.
G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.

One possible version:
Last weekend, I helped my grandparents prepare their trip to Beidaihe. On
Saturday morning, together with my grandparents, I searched the Internet for the train
schedule, the weather in Beidaihe, and some hotel information. In the afternoon, I
went to the train station and managed to buy two tickets for my grandparents although
there was a long queue. After dinner, I packed into the suitcase the things my
grandparents need, such as clothes, glasses, an umbrella, and a map. The next
morning, I went to the station to see them off. Waving goodbye to them on the
platform, I felt happy for them and wished them a safe journey.

One possible version:
In the picture, between two closely-located buildings grows a big tree. Unlike
most trees, this one bends in the middle, struggling all the way up to get more
sunshine.The picture reminds me of those who succeed in unfavorable conditions. Faced
with difficulties, they never give up but try their best to find a way out. Life can be
hard. But if we have the courage and determination, we will finally get the sunshine
we want as the tree in the picture does.

第二部分：知识运用(共两节，45分)
第一节 单项填空(共15小题；每小题l分，共15分)
从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，
并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
21. at my classmates’ faces, I read the same excitement in their eyes.
A. Looking B. Look C. To look D. Looked
【考点】A3：动词的现在分词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：看着同学们的面孔，我从他们的眼中读出了同样的兴奋．
【解答】答案A．本题考查非谓语动词作状语．look 是谓语动词形式，故排除；
to look 通常表目的，在此不符合题意；look与I构成逻辑上的主动关系，D项
被排除．故选A，现在分词looking．
【点评】本题考查非谓语动词做状语，要弄清从句中动词与主句的主语之间的
关系，并结合具体的语境选择出正确选项．
22. In the spoken English of some areas in the US, the “r” sounds at the end of the
words .
A. are dropped B. drop C. are being dropped D. have dropped
【考点】F6：一般现在时的被动语态．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】在美国一些地区的口语中，词尾"r"的发音被省略了．
【解答】答案：A．根据动词drop与其逻辑主语即主句的主语the"r"sounds之间
构成被动关系可知，选项B和D错误．C选项be being done是进行式的被动语
态，表示"正在被…"，与句意不符．因为句意表示的是一种发音方式，是一种
语言现象，不是某个时刻正在进行的动作，而是一种长久以来的习惯．故选A．
【点评】此题考查时态和语态．解此类题时，一要根据动词与其逻辑主语（句
子主语）之间的关系来确定语态（主动/被动）；二要根据时间状语或句意来确
定时态．
23. --- Good morning. I’ve got an appointment with Miss Smith in the Personnel
Department.
--- Ah, good morning. You be Mrs. Peters.
A. might B. must C. would D. can
【考点】A6：情态动词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：﹣早上好，我与人力资源部的史密斯小姐有预约．
﹣噢，早上好，您一定是皮特斯女士吧？
【解答】答案B．might"可能"；must"必须，肯定，偏偏"；would"意愿或过去
习惯性动作"；can"能够，有时会"．根据句意，这可能是一个面试．Miss Smith
通知Mrs Peters一早过来面试．所以peters一说找smith，接待的人就猜出是谁
来了 must be一定是，就是，表示说话者很确定的语气．故选B．
【点评】本题是中档题，考查情态动词的用法，要掌握词义并熟悉上下文语境
的暗示，选择出正确的选项．
24. --- I’m not finished with my dinner yet. --- But our friends for us.
A. will wait B. wait C. have waited D. are waiting
【考点】E4：现在进行时．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：﹣﹣我还没有吃完饭？﹣﹣但是我们的朋友现在在等我们．
【解答】答案D． 根据句意，说明我在吃饭的时候，我们的朋友"正在等"我们．
这里表示此时此刻正在进行的动作，用现在进行时，故选D．
【点评】本题考查现在进行时，表示现在正在进行的动作，要结合上下文语境
选择出正确选项．
25. I’m calling to enquire about the position in yesterday’s China Daily.A. advertised B. to be advertised C. advertising D. having advertised
【考点】A3：动词的现在分词；E8：现在完成时．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：我打电话来咨询下昨天中国日报上刊登的职位信息．
【解答】答案 A． in yesterday’s China Daily 做后置定语修饰 the position，
advertise与the position之间是被动的关系．故用过去分词短语做后置定语．选
A．
【点评】本题考查过去分词短语做后置定语．
26. --- I’m sorry, but I don’t quite follow you. Did you say you wanted to return on
September 20?
--- Sorry, I myself clear. We want to return on October 20.
A. hadn’t made B. wouldn’t make C. Don’t make D. haven’t made
【考点】E8：现在完成时．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】﹣﹣不好意思，我没听懂你说的话．你刚才是说你想要9月20号回来
吗？
﹣﹣对不起，我没能表达清楚．我们想要10月20号回来．
【解答】答案D．本题考查时态．根据句意可知，说话者的意思是"我没能表达
明白"导致你现在没听懂，这是过去的动作对现在造成的影响或结果，因而应该
用现在完成时．A选项用过去完成时，而过去完成时是在过去某个动作之前的
动作，显然在本句中没有形成先后动作的时间对比．故选D．
【点评】时态题的考查关键是抓住句子的上下文含义和句中的时间状语．要根
据时间状语来选择合适的时态，在平时的学习中要注意积累有关时态的用法和
各种时态的特殊之处．
27. Children who are not active or diet is high in fat will gain weight quickly.
A. what B. whose C. which D. that
【考点】59：关系代词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意为：那些不怎么活跃的孩子，或者（那些）饮食很油腻的，胖得很快．
【解答】答案：B，句中含有两个定语从句，who are not active or____diet is high
in fat 两个定语从句通过连词or并列，他们的饮食，就只能用whose．句中两个
定语从句修饰children，所以本题选择B．
【点评】whose意思是谁的，定语从句里面不光指人，像"房子的，车子的，包
包的"都可以，比如，The newly built café，the walls of_______ are painted light
green，is really a peaceful place for us，specially after hard work．
28. It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate what they for me.
A. had done B. did C. would do D. were doing
【考点】E9：过去完成时．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：我花费了很长时间才完全领会他们为我所做的．
【解答】答案A．句中was able to 表示发生在过去的时间，而根据句意他们为
我所做的，应该已经做完了，发生在took这个动作之前，即过去的过去，故选
A．
【点评】本题是基础题，考查过去完成时，时态的题目很多要通过上下文的判
断得知．过去完成时表示动作发生在过去的过去．
29. Would you mind not picking the flowers in the garden? They are everyone’s
enjoyment.
A. in B. at C. for D. to
【考点】84：目的介词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】你能不能不要摘花园里的花？这些花是给所有人欣赏的．
【解答】答案：C，for表示"为了"，即这些花是给所有人欣赏的．to everyone's
enjoyment对于每个人的快乐来说．一般只能做状语，意思是"让大家开心的是"，
类似于to one’s surprise，for one’s surprise是指"为了每个人的快乐"，表示目的．
所以本题选择C．
【点评】考查介词时主要看介词和名词之间的搭配，或是动词、形容词和介词之间的搭配，在理解句意的基础之上，选用适当介词．
30. they decide which college to go to, students should research the admission
procedures.
A. As B. While C. Until D. Once
【考点】92：从属连词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：一旦学生们决定了要上哪所大学，他们应该研究申请此大学的
入学申请程序．
【解答】答案D．as"因为，随着，虽然，当…时候，作为，按照"；while"虽然，
当…时候"；until"直到…"；once"一旦"．根据句意，本题需要一个条件状语从
句，"一旦决定…"，故选D．
【点评】本题是中档题，考查从属连词的使用，要熟悉从属连词的具体用法并
结合语境，选择出正确选项．
31. I want to be liked and loved for I am inside.
A. who B. where C. what D. how
【考点】58：连接代词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意为：我想要因我的内在而被喜欢，被爱．
【解答】答案：C．这一道题必须从语义上去选择答案，这里强调的是 我想被
人喜欢，而喜欢我的人是喜欢我内在，而不是我的外在的东西，更不是我这个
人，for是介词，所以后面的句子是宾语从句，宾语从句中缺少表语，所以需要
用连接代词，排除B和D．如果用who表达不出，我渴望被理解，渴望被爱的
感觉，who I am inside 指我内心里是谁，我从心里看是谁，表达的是一种疑问，
对自身的怀疑，what I am inside 我的内在是什么 我具有什么，更贴近句子的意
思．
【点评】本句容易误选who．当从句中缺少主语或宾语、表语时，指人一般用
who/whom，但如果表示人的内在所具有的品质时，一般用 what，比如：My
mother made me what I am today．（我妈妈造就了今天的我）．32. Part of the reason Charles Dickens loved his own novel, David Copperfield, was
it was rather closely modeled on his own life.
A. what B. that C. why D. whether
【考点】92：从属连词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：查尔斯．狄更斯更喜欢自己的小说≤大卫．科波菲尔≥的部分
原因是这本书是以他的真实生活为原型创造的．
【解答】答案B．__it was rather closely modeled on his own life 是表语从句，这
里缺少一个引导词，而在表语从句中，句子结构完整，意义表达清晰，并且不
缺少任何成分．故用连接词that，选B．
【点评】本题考查表语从句中引导词的用法，要分析句子结构是否完整并结合
具体的语境选择出正确选择．
33. some people regard as a drawback is seen as a plus by many others.
A. Whether B. What C. That D. How
【考点】58：连接代词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意为：被一些人认为是缺点的东西却被其他很多人认为是优点．
【解答】答案：B．本句中含有主语从句，what some people regard as a drawback
是主语从句，从句中，regard缺少宾语，Whether和that在从句中不充当任何成
分，how充当状语，所以可以排除其他选项．regard…as和see…as都是把．看
作．
【点评】本句考查主语从句的连接代词．句中 is是系动词，也是判断一些主语
从句的关键，is之前的是主语，is后面的是表语从句，构成主系表结构．然后
再根据从句中的具体情况作出正确选择．
34. --- The weather has been very hot and dry.
--- Yes. If it had rained even a drop, things would be much better now! And my
vegetables .
A. wouldn’t die B．didn’t die C．hadn’t died D．wouldn’t have died【考点】GJ：虚拟语气．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意为：﹣﹣天气太热太干燥．﹣﹣对． 要是当时下一滴雨，情况现
在就好多了，我的蔬菜当时就不会死了．
【解答】答案：D．这里things would be much better now，说明与现在情况相反
的虚拟语气，句中有 now，所以不能用 things would have been much better 表示
与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，后半句中表示的事实是"我的蔬菜死了"这应该是
过去的事情，所以后面用D．
【点评】本题考查混合式虚拟语气，前半句是对现在的情况的虚拟，而后半句
是对过去的事情的虚拟，这一点需要看清．
35. First impressions are the most lasting. After all, you never get second chance to
make first impression.
A. a; the B. the; the C. a; a D. the; a
【考点】41：不定冠词．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】句意：第一印象是最持久的．毕竟，你永远不可能有第二次机会去再
给别人留一次第一印象．
【解答】答案：C．根据句意"你永远不可能有第二次机会去再给别人留一次第
一印象．"可知，这里"___a second chance"是指又一次机会，后面"make __ first
impression"是指再留一次第一印象，而序数词前面加不定冠词，意为"又一，再
一"，故a符合语境，所以选C．
【点评】本题考查冠词的用法．冠词主要分为不定冠词（a/an泛指）、定冠词
（the特指）和零冠词．要掌握各个冠词的主要用法，再结合语境作答．还要注
意冠词在一些固定短语的使用．
第二节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题l.5分，共30分)
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出
最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she wasone of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an unpleasant voice and a
direct way of speaking, 36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some
reason, she was impressed with my work and me.
Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we
should 38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew
39 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 40 . It was cause
and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 41 them. She trusted me to
complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42 I was, so I
began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in
myself.
Mrs. Neidl’s 43 that year was, “Try it. We can always paint over it 44
!” I began to take 45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no
failing---only things to be 46 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and
47 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the program
as “Student Art Assistant” because of the time and effort I’d put in. It was that year
that I 49 I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.
Being on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me
completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought,
but I also 51 a strong interest and a world I hadn’t known existed.
She taught me not to 52 what people think I should do: She taught
me to take chances and not be 53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter
when I was upset. Her 54 in me has inspired me to do things that I
never imagined 5 5 .
36. A. and B. yet C. so D. for

【考点】L1：记叙文．
菁优网版权所有
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文．通过加入舞台设计小组和遇到Mrs. Neidl对作者
的影响，作者彻底改变了自己，发现了自己的兴趣和价值，并且变得更加自信
和坚强．
【解答】36-40 BACDA 41-45 DCBDD 46-50 ACBCA 51-55 BBDAC
36．B 考查连词辨析．根据前面unpleasant voice 和 direct way of speaking是消极
意向，后面encouraging 和 inspiring是积极意向，因此需填转折连词，四个选项
中A表并列，C表结果，D表原因，只有B选项yet表转折．故选B．
37．A 考查名词辨析．根据第二段第二句话"她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事
情"直接提示了这个空应该选观点 opinion这个词．第二段倒数第四句话中也出
现了这个词从而验证了其正确性．故选A．
38．C 考查动词辨析．根据后面发生的一系列事情可以看出作者在这个活动中
要处理很多的事情．故选C．
39．D 考查代词辨析．根据句子前半句中的"had no idea"可知，开始我不知如何
回答是因为我对舞台设计"一无所知"．"know nothing about sth"意为"对某事一无所知"．故选D．
40．A 考查名词辨析．根据第二段第一句中的"ask 提问"及第四句中的"answer
回答"可知，这里应填"question 问题"这个词，respond to her questions．故选A．
41．D 考查动词辨析．根据文意推断，作者开始并没有观点，由于她相信我有
观点所以我形成了观点．故选D．
42．C 考查形容词辨析．解题线索在后半句"so I began to show up to paint more
and more"作者做的事情变多是 Mrs. Neidl 信任的结果，说明我是个可信赖
（reliable）的人，C选项符合题意．其他三个选项happy 高兴的 lively活泼的和
punctual准时的都不能表达出这种合理的因果关系．另外迷惑性较大的 lively通
常用来形容物． 故选C．
43．B 考查名词辨析．根据引号里是一句鼓励性质的话，而且前面"that year"也
是线索，说明这话是她的 motto座右铭．迷惑性较大的 C选项saying是谚语的
意思，往往是人们长期形成的对生活及经验的总结，强调群体性及时间性，故
不合适，message 信息，suggestion 建议，不合题意．故选B．
44．D 考查副词辨析．本题难度较大，解题关键词是介词"over"，表覆盖．选择
later 可以理解为"如果没有画好，稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上．"more
更多，Instead 代替，不合题意．迷惑性最大的是again．表示"再一次、又一次"，
但是放在这里与 over 意思重复，paint over it later 相当于 paint it again，故选
D．
45．D 考查名词辨析．take risks 固定搭配，冒险．通读全文发现作者是开始很
不自信，第四段开头也提示了作者"shy"，"quiet"，因此动笔画画对他来说是个
冒险，是自我突破的过程，文章最后一段也提到了take chances冒险．故选D．
46．A 考查动词辨析．improve upon 改进．根据本段开头的座右铭"试试吧，我
们永远可以重画一次．"可知，不存在失败，只存在改进．act upon按照、对…
起作用；look upon 看待，考虑；reflect upon 考虑，回顾；均不符题意．故选
A．
47．C 考查副词辨析．本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程，根据前文
提示可知，作者曾很不自信，后来在Mrs. Neidl的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔．
故选C．
48．B 考查动词辨析．根据语境可知，因为我在这个项目中付出的时间和努力，我开始被认可．be recognized as"被公认为、被承认"；be introduced"被介绍、引
入"；be identified as"被确定是"，有验证身份的意思；be considered as"被认为、
被当作"．其中 be recognized as 有"被大家承认、被普遍接受"的意思，表意更准
确．故选B．
49．C 考查动词辨析．解题关键词是"want"．作者意识到自己想要的是什么，
所以用realized．迷惑项是decided 决定．可以说决定要什么，但不可以说决定
想什么，因为想法是不可控制的．故选C．
50．A 考查介词辨析．根据语境可知，与 Mrs. Neidl在舞台设计小组的这段时
间令我彻底改变了．故选A．
51．B 考查动词辨析．根据句意"我发现了一种很强烈的愿望和一个我原来都不
知道存在的世界，可以判断原来不知道存在，现在"发现了"更为贴切．故选
B．
52．B 考查动词辨析．根据语境可知，"她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么
做"，care 在乎，符合文意．accept 接受，judge 判断，wonder 怀疑 均不合文意．
故选B．
53．D 考查形容词辨析．根据前面说 take chance 冒险，后面理所当然说不要怕
（失败），而且前文反复出现了afraid 这个词，是全篇的关键词．bored 无聊的，
lazy 懒惰的，sad 伤心的，在文中均无体现．故选D．
54．A 考查名词辨析．通读全文会发现文中多次提到 Mrs. Neidl对作者的信任，
并在第三段明确使用了trust这个词，因此推断出答案．故选A．
55．C 考查形容词辨析．根据语境可知，"她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不
可能的事情"，"never imagined possible"等于"imagined impossible．"认为不可能
的，贴合文意．故选C．

Goldie’s Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent
her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the
night before. “We’re moving house.”; “No space for her any more with the baby
coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a
present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one
of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given
her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She
hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I
could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at
her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down.
Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the
fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we
were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and
getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down
the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I
saw her licking （舔） the four puppies （幼犬） I started to feel sympathy towards
them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I
took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just
disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy
from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just likeher mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
56. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?
A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.
57. In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie .
A. I felt worried B. was angry C. ate a little D. sat by the fire
58. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .
A. saw her puppies B. heard familiar barkings
C. wanted to leave the author D. found her way to her old home
59. The passage is organized in order of .
A. time B. effectiveness C. importance D. complexity

起散步的时候，戈尔迪跑回以前的家（农场）．
【解答】BADA
56．B．细节理解题．由原文第2段She hardly ate anything and had such an air of
sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed.
Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. 划线句子表明作者
同情被遗弃的小狗，希望帮助它高兴起来．
57．A．细节理解题．由第二段第二行"She was so unsettled during those first few
days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her."可知在最初
几天里，她是如此的不安．她几乎没有吃任何东西，所以选A．
58．D．细节理解题．由倒数第三段最后一句"Eventually I couldn’t hold her any
longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as
she could."最后我抱不住她了，于是她冲到地上，尽快地跑向远处的一个农舍．
可知她找到了自己熟悉的地方，所以选D．
59．A．推理判断题．由第一段作者先发现狗、第二段第二行"She was so
unsettled during those first few days、第五行 But eventually at the end of the first
week she calmed down."可以推出答案，所以选A．【点评】做此类阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事

Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for
you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume（简历）and photocopies of six
stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With
great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues （问题）, approaches them,
and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I’m sure you would hate
to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really
likes his job. He has a great assignment（分工）, and said you run a great paper. It
would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He
appreciates the responsibility you’ve given him, takes ownership of his profession,
and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He
wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors
usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what
the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas
into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he’s doing and to help
him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report
it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That’s what you want for him, too,
isn’t it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---everyone---is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to
reach their potential. If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can.
60. What does the writer think of the reporter?

61. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A. Finding the news value of his stories.
B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues.
D. Improving his good ideas.

63. The letter aims to remind editors that they should .
A. keep their best reporters at all costs
B. give more freedom to their reporters

C
Pacing and Pausing
Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve’s new wife, but Betty never seemed to
have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn’t hold up her end of the conversation,
Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had
to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.
Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there’s no
problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I’m finished or
fail to take your turn when I’m finished. That’s what was happening with Betty and
Sara.
It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses
between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is
American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an
interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from
Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speaker s from Latin America
or Israel.
The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like
pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style
but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for
dangerous stereotyping（思维定式）. And these social phenomena can have verypersonal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US
went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel
Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break
in---and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and
confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated
at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to
speak up.
That’s why slight differences in conversational style---tiny little things like
microseconds of pause---can have a great effect on one’s life. The result in this case
was a judgment of psychological problems---even in the mind of the woman herself,
who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness
training.
64. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?
A. Betty was talkative. B. Betty was an interrupter.
C. Betty did not take her turn. D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.
65. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between
turns?
A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.
66. We can learn from the passage that .
A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing
B. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US
C. one’s inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes
D. one should receive training to build up one’s confidence
67. The underlined word “assertiveness” in the last paragraph probably means .
A. being willing to speak one’s mind
B. being able to increase one’s power
C. being ready to make one’s own judgment
D. being quick to express one’s ideas confidently

【解答】CBCD
64．C 推理判断题．根据文章第3段2，3行"Betty often felt interrupted by Sara.
But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking
when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some
speakers from Latin America or Israel."可知，Sara 发现自己很难插话，是因为
Betty没有按照说话的轮次来．导致两个人说话总是被打断．故C正确．
65．B 推理判断题．根据文章第三段最后一句"Sara had a hard time cutting in on
some speakers from Latin America or Israel."可知，美国人或者以色列人说话的停
顿很短，Sara很难插话．以色列人说话的节奏和美国人说话的节奏是类似的，
所以把这两者放在一起进行比较．故B正确．
66．C 推理判断题．根据文章第4段前3行"The general phenomenon, then, is that
the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw
conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These
habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping （思维定式）.

的能力是受到他所在的文化和思维方式影响的．故C正确．
67．D 细节理解题．根据文章第五段"When she was evaluated at the end of the
year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up"可知，
她会在那个自信养成培训课程上被登记成什么样．故选D．

DThe Cost of Higher Education
Individuals（个人）should pay for their higher education.
A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates
earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on
having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the
taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources（资源）of the
government. Using taxpayers’ money to help a small number of people to earn high
incomes in the future is not one of them.
Full government funding（资助）is not very good for universities. Adam Smith
worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and
looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off
the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were
the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the
students were similarly lazy.
If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also
demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If
that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research
interests, that is surely something to celebrate.
Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for
the economy（经济）. Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but
so do all the businesses that invest（投资）and create jobs. If you believe that the
government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically
productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business
costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the
government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should
pay for their university education.
68. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A. taxpayers B. pressing calls C. college graduates D. government resources
69. The author thinks that with full government funding .
A. teachers are less satisfiedB. students are more demanding
C. students will become more competent
D. teachers will spend less time on teaching
70. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to .
A. argue against free university education
B. call on them to finance students' studies
C. encourage graduates to go into business
D. show their contribution to higher education

【分析】本文是说明文，主要讲述的是高等教育成本，个人必须为其接受的高
等教育付费，大学毕业生收入比非大学毕业生高．同时，社会流动更依赖于学
历．然而只有一些人拥有学历．因此并非纳税人，而是个人必须为此付费． 有
保障的薪酬是辛勤工作的宿敌，当教师变得懒惰与无能，学生也会同样懒惰．
如果学生必须为其所受教育付费，他们不仅会更加努力地学习，还会希望从老
师那里获取更多．而且他们的老师必须使他们满意．那意味着认真治学，且没
有太多时间让他们从事为自己的利益进行的研究．
【解答】BDA
68．B 词意猜测题．根据本句中"There are pressing calls on the resources （资
源） of the government. Using taxpayers’ money to help a small number of people to
earn high incomes in the future is not one of them."可知，很多地方迫切需要政府资
源．用纳税人的钱来帮助少数人在未来获取高收入并非其中（迫切需要的政府
资源）之一．故选B．
69．D 细节理解题．根据题干关键词"full government funding"定位原文，根据第
二段"Full government funding （资助） is not very good for universities…and when
the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy." "lazy"转
换成"spend less time"故选D．
70．A 推理判断题．根据第四段"Many people believe that higher education should
be free…"可知，作者用来支持支持自己的论点（个人必须为其接受的高等教育
付费），也就是要反对free higher education．【点评】解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选
项中有两项为多余选项。
Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What
do you hear? 71 It’s similar to the music you listen to, but it’s not exactly the
same. That’s because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you
extra energy. Sometimes you don’t even realize the music is playing, but you react to
the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called “elevator（电梯）music” because we
often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a
new name “Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to “Muzak”
every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It
is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and
four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 72
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many
of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don’t want their songs to be used as
Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 73
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel
less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does
what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they
hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 74 Supermarket shoppers
buy 38 percent more groceries.
75 They say it’s boring to hear the same songs all the time. But otherpeople enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel
calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows
give more milk when they hear Muzak!
A. Some people don’t like Muzak.
B. The music gives them extra energy.
C. Music is playing in the background.
D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.
G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.
