【答案与解析】
21.C 由下文可知，作者是一个中国大学生，尽管这本词典是专为非英语母语的学习者设计的，但作者及其同学从前从没用过这样的词典，所以当作者看到英英词典的时候，他是感到“吃惊的”，而不是“焦虑的”“伤心的”或“紧张的”，故C符合题意。
22.B 前后两句在意义上是让步关系，“尽管这本词典是专为非英语母语的学习者设计的，但我的同学中，没有一个人从前有过这样的词典”，所以用although引导让步状语从句。而A项because引导原因状语从句；unless和if引导条件状语从句。故选B。
23.D 此处是一个并列连词，连接前后两句。前句表达的是“以前没用过这样的词典”，后面又说“开始用时很难”，两句应是并列关系，所以用and。but表转折；so表因果；or表选择。故选D。
24.A 作者开始使用英英词典时不太习惯，且下文提到“并不能完全理解意思”，由此可推测此处意为“用起来很难”，故应填difficult。interesting有趣味的。ambiguous模糊的，模棱两可的。practical实用的。
25.C 句中有否定词not和副词fully，所以应用still，表示“仍然不能够完全……”的意思。
26.B be used to表示“习惯于……”，对作者来说应是习惯了“熟悉的”双语词典。故familiar（熟悉的）符合题意。
27.A 该句为定语从句，根据常识：在词典中单词的意思是被“解释出来”的，所以用explained。express表达。describe描述。create创造。
28.C 该句句意为“我真纳闷我姑妈为什么决定这么为难我”。decide to do sth. 决定做某事。offer to do（主动地）提供，给予（帮助等）。agree to do同意做某事。happen to do碰巧……。故只有C项符合题意。
29.D 联系上下文，过去我会纳闷姑妈为什么给我英英词典，但经过三年的英语学习，明白了英英词典的好处。understand理解，懂得。imagine想象。recommend推荐。predict预测。
30.B 此句中将monolingual dictionaries和bilingual dictionaries作比较，A和D项没有用比较级；better强调更好，更实用；而easier表达句意与原文不符。故选B。
31.B 该句句意为“实际上，两种语言之间的两个词没有完全的对应”。in fact实际上，事实上。at best至多；充其量。at times有时。in case万一，以防。显然A、C、D项不合语境。故选B。
32.A 从下文的“姑妈甚至还声称汉语意译不能给出一个英语单词的确切意思”可知，两种语言之间的两个单词是没有完全的对应的，故填words（单词）。
33.B 句意为“我姑妈甚至还声称汉语意译无法给出一个英语单词的确切意思。”declare声称。hope希望。doubt怀疑。tell 告诉；区别。A、C、D三项均不合语境，故B项最为合适。
34.A 句意同上。exact确切的。basic基本的。translated被翻译的。expected被期望的。因此A项最符合题意。
35.C 从上文可知，姑妈不认可双语词典，“所以她坚持要我在想要更好理解某个单词的词义时，去读英英词典的单词释义”。由此可判断前后为因果关系，故填therefore。rather而是。however 可是，然而。instead相反，而，却。
36.A 表示“当……时候”，用when引导时间状语从句。而before通常指“在……之前”；until指“直到……时候”；while指“在……的同时”。
37.C 该句的谓语have come to see表示变化过程，所以用gradually表示“渐渐地”。largely在很大程度上；多半；主要地。generally一般地，广泛地，普遍地；大体而言。probably很可能。
38.D 从后面的 “around 2,000” 可知词典中用于解释词义的词汇量是有限的。limited有限的。extra 额外的。average平均的，普通的。total总的。
39.A 由题意，“在有限的范围内，查阅阅读释义的话，就会反复接触基本词汇、学会这些词汇怎样用来解释事物和观点”，所以用repeatedly表示“反复地，经常地”。nearly几乎。immediately立刻，马上。anxiously着急地。
40.D 根据逻辑分析，下文的“我能用英语更流利地表达自己”应该是“因为”使用了这本词典的缘故。because of因为。according to根据。in relation to关于，有关，涉及。in addition to除此之外，而且。故D项符合题意。

【答案】 We agreed that once the research conclusion wasmade, it would be made public as soon as possible.
Equal are thegenerous gifts granted by Nature to all human individuals, be they wealthy orimpoverished. Therefore, all human individuals have become unanimously andprofoundly indebted to Nature. This is particularly true in rural areas whereways of life have remained intact and unchanged for people for thousands ofyears—sowing crops and grapes, brewing and drinking wines, grazing and milkingcows, hoeing grasses and planting flower-trees, going to churches for religiousprayers and services on weekends, playing musical instruments, dancing andsinging on squares. The fields in former times are still their present-dayhomes glowing with human warmth. In such a way, each locality has evolved itsown unique folk tales and has transmitted its distinctive habits and customs.
【参考译文】
大自然对人的恩赐，无论贫富，一律平等。所以人们对于大自然全都一致并深深地依赖着，尤其在乡间。上千年来人们一直以不变的方式生活着，种植庄稼和葡萄，酿酒和饮酒，喂牛和挤奶，锄草和栽花，在周末去教堂祈祷和做礼拜，到广场拉琴、跳舞和唱歌。往日的田园依旧是今日的温馨家园。这样，每个地方都有自己的传说，风俗也就衍传了下来。
Passage One
A recent study,published in last week’s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers apicture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely tohave a fatal accident as a teenager driving alone. By contrast, the risk ofdeath for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.
The authors alsofound that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10p.m., and especially after midnight, with passengers in the car, the driver waseven more likely to die in a late-night accident.
Robert Foss, ascientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center,says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with"really stupid behavior" than with a lack of driving experience. “Thebasic issue,” He says, “is that adults who are-responsible for issuing licensesfail to recognize how complex and skilled a task driving is.”
Both he and theauthor of the study believe that the way to mitigate（使……缓解）the problem is to havestates institute so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting alicense is a multistage process. A graduated license requires that a teenagerfirst, prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followedby a period of driving with night of passenger restrictions, before graduatingto full driving privileges.
Graduatedlicensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recentstudies. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensingsystem in place, but only 10 of those states have restrictions on passengers,California is the strictest, with a novice（新手）driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20 (without thepresence of an adult over 25) for the first six months.
46. Which of thefollowing situations is most dangerous according to the passage?
A) Adults givinga lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.
B) A teenagerdriving after midnight with passengers in the car.
C) Adultsdriving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.
D) A teenagergetting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.
47. According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenagedrivers is mainly due to _____.
A) theirfrequent driving at night
B) theirimproper way of driving
C) their lackof driving experience
D) theirdriving with passengers
48. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statementis TRUE?
A) Teenagers should spend more time learningto drive.
B) Driving is askill too complicated for teenagers to learn.
C) Restrictionsshould be imposed on teenagers applying to take driving lessons.
D) Thelicensing authorities are partly responsible for teenagers’ driving accidents.
49. A suggestedmeasure to be taken to reduce teenagers, driving accidents is that _____.
A) driving inthe presence of an adult should be made a rule
B) they shouldbe prohibited from taking on passengers
C) they shouldnot be allowed to drive after 10 p.m.
D) thelicensing system should be improved
50. The present situation in about half of the states is thatthe graduated licensing system _____.
A) is under discussion
B) is about tobe set up
C) has been putinto effect
D) has beenperfected
【答案与解析】
46.B 从文中第一段 “A recent study…offers a picture of how risky it is to get a liftfrom a teenage driver” 以及第二段中 “the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10p.m., and especially after midnight, With passengers in the car, the driver waseven more likely to die in a late-night accident” 可知在夜间搭乘未成年人的车是很危险的。故B项正确。
47.C 文章第三段提到 “the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with ‘reallystupid behavior’ than with just a lack of driving experience” 意即“未成年驾驶者的高死亡率更多的应归咎于缺乏驾驶经验而不是愚蠢的行为”。故C项符合题意。
48.D 第三段中指出，“The basic issue…is that adults who are responsible for issuinglicenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled a task driving is.” 即基本的问题在于那些负责发放驾驶执照的人们没有意识到开车是件复杂并且需要熟练技术的工作。因此选项D说法正确。
49.D 文中第四段提到，“Both he and the author of the study believe that the way tomitigate the problem is to have states institute so-called graduated licensingsystems，in whichgetting a license is a multistage process”，由此可知解决此问题的办法在于建立渐进式发证系统，获得驾驶执照须经多个阶段。即要降低事故发生率，应当建立完善发证系统。这与D项意思相同，故选D。
50.C 根据最后一段 “About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensingsystem in place” 即这种发证系统已经在过半数以上的州得以实施。故C项说法正确。
Passage Two
About six yearsago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when and a young boysat down the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of theirconversation. At one point the woman asked: “So, how have you been?” And theboy—who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied.“Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incidentstuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children arechanging. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were“depressed” until we were in high school.
The evidence ofa change in Children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’tseem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adultsand behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this isgood or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as itonce was no longer exists. Why?
Humandevelopment is based not only on innate biological stales, but also on patternsof access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usuallyinvolves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always beentaught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixthgraders things we keep hidden from filth graders.
In the last 30years, however, a secret-revelation machine has been installed in 98 percent ofAmerican homes. It is called television. Television passes information, andindiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable toresist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts tothe less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communicationthrough print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over thesocial information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve acomplex code of symbols that must be memorized and practices. Children mustread simple books before they can read complex materials.
51. According to the author, feeling depressed is _____.
A) a sure signof a psychological problem in a child
B) somethinghardly to be expected in a young child
C) aninevitable has of children’s mental development
D) a mentalscale present in all humans, including children
52. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adultworld _____.
A) throughcontact with society
B) graduallyand under guidance
C) naturallyand by biological instinct
D) throughexposure to social information
53. The phenomenon that today’s childrenseem adult like is attributed by the author to _____.
A) thewidespread influence of television
B) the poorarrangement of teaching content
C) the fastpace of human intellectual development
D) theconstantly rising standard of living
54. Why is the author in favor ofcommunication through print for children?
A) It enables childrento gain more social information.
B) It developschildren’s interest in reading and writing.
C) It helpschildren to memorize and practice more.
D) It cancontrol what children are to learn.
55. What does the author think of thechange in today’s children?
A) He feelsamused by chair premature behavior.
B) He thinks itis a phenomenon worthy of note.
C) He considersit a positive development.
D) He seems tobe upset about it.
【答案与解析】
51.B 由题干feeling depressed定位至文章第二段，作者说到“my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we werein high school”，即“我和我的朋友们直到高中才开始感觉沮丧”，言下之意就是小孩子是不会出现沮丧心理的。符合此意的是选项B。
52.B 本题讨论孩子学习社会知识的途径，本文第五段提到，“Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and instages”其中be taughtin stages（按阶段，循序渐进）对应选项B中的underguidance与gradually。故B为正确答案。
53.A 文章第六段讲到，电视在美国社会的普及，以及电视不分地域、不分老幼地传播信息的特点对孩子们的学习途径产生影响：“many children turn their attention from printed texts to movingpictures”由此可推断孩子们如今的早熟是由于电视的广泛影响。故该题选A。
54.D 作者在最后一段主张孩子们应该通过印刷媒介交流信息，“Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a greatdeal of control over the social information to which children have access.”即通过印刷媒介交流可以控制儿童能够接触到的信息。故D项符合题意。
55.D 第四段中作者提出：“Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say”似乎对儿童的变化是好是坏没有做出评判，而最后一句话又说“Childrenmust read simple books before they can read complex materials”由此可见作者的态度是为这种现象感到忧虑。故D项说法最为合适。
Passage Three
Dogs are socialanimals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. Theywill soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight otherdogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dogactivities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrongthing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teachthe dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in thedomestic setting.
One of the bestthings you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obediencetraining doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation forsolving just about any problem. Training pens up a line of communicationbetween you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct yourdog about what you want it to do.
Training isalso an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys asimple request of “come here, sit.” it is showing obedience and respect foryou. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the packby using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate role byteaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for youto pleasantly accept that you are in charge.
Training shouldbe fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship andmake living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident andcan more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrainedanimal.

58. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _____.
A) essential tosolving the dog’s behavior problems

D) an extrememeasure in obedience training
59. Why do dogs love performing tricks for their masters?

D) To showtheir willingness to obey.
60. When a dog has received effective obedience training, itsowner _____.
A) can give thedog more rewards
B) will enjoy abetter family life
C) can give thedog more freedom
D) will havemore confidence in himself
【答案与解析】
56.A 根据题干中的behavior problems定位至文章第三句“Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities…”几乎所有的行为问题都是狗的正常行为，即狗的行为问题“仅仅是它们天性中的一部分”，由此可知A正确，B、D两项在文中未提及，选项C是对该句occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing的曲解。故选A。
57.C 根据第1段尾句“Thekey…is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outletsthat are acceptable in the domestic setting．”和第2段首句“One of the best things…is to obedience train it”可知C项“为狗的未驯服的行为提供发泄的途径”符合题意。
