I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the

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

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
第4 页（共23 页）
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 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 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?
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.
第5 页（共23 页）
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 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
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
第6 页（共23 页）
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 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

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 other people 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.
第7 页（共23 页）
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.

W: John, just a few questions on your motivation. I know you developed your business with local people.
What made you do that?
M: Well, I’ve always tried to employ local people to help the local industry. But because we are not
province of Spain with little unemployment, I have to use people from outside the area, too.
W: What about management style? Are you a hard manager, John?
M: No, I don’t think so. I’ve got strong character and as a manager, I am strong, but when I need to fire
people, I give them five or… ten more chances.
W: And what’s the future for you? What will keep you going?
M: For business, well, a new vice president joined the company two weeks ago, so I can devote more time
to customers and new products. And privately, I have decided to improve my quality of life. I am thinking
of taking every Wednesday afternoon off. This means I can do some training courses, more relaxing
activities.
13-15.

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．
第11 页（共23 页）
【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？
第12 页（共23 页）
﹣﹣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．
第13 页（共23 页）
【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
第14 页（共23 页）
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．

I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one 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 55 .

【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
第15 页（共23 页）
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．

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 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 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

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?
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

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 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.
第19 页（共23 页）
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）. And these social phenomena can have very personal

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 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

【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．

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 other people 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.
