11 C 根据对话中Finn所说“Now, the TGV train in France takes about three hours to travel over 750kilometresfrom the capital, Paris, to Marseille in the south—very impressive”可知从Paris到Marseille一般会花费3个小时。因此答案选C。
12 D 根据对话中Finn的话，“but the government wants to build another one—called HS2—connecting London to the middle and north of England”可知，HS2是为了连接伦敦和英格兰的中部和北部。因此答案选择D项。
13 D 根据对话中Finn所说，“it could be a long time before a final decision is made”可知，在最终做出决定前还需要很长的时间，与D项中表达的有可能不久就会实现相悖。因此答案选D。
14 A 根据对话中Rob对Finn说的话“The record actually belongs to France”可知，法国是速度记录的保持国，因此选择A项。
15 B 根据对话最后部分“That train ran on a railway track—but a train that uses magnets to float above the track is being developed in Japan that will run, at a slightly slower speed, at 500 km/h”可知，日本悬浮列车的运行速度为为每小时500公里，因此答案选B。
【录音原文】
Rob: Hello Finn.
Finn: Hi Rob.
Rob: Today we’re talking about high-speed train travel. Many countries have very fast trains that whisk people from city to city in super-quick time.
Finn: Yes, we might think that air travel is the transport of the future but it seems high-speed train travel is becoming just as popular.
Rob: How about a question? Which country currently holds the Guinness record for the fastest train running on a national railway system?
Finn: I’m going to say China.
Rob: I’ll let you know the answer at the end of programme. Back to our discussion about high-speed rail travel. We know that it has many benefits—good things: it helps to take traffic off the road, it causes less pollution, it can transport or move lots of people and it’s quick.
Finn: Yes, speed is important. Now, the TGV train in France takes about three hours to travel over 750 kilometres from the capital, Paris, to Marseille in the south—very impressive.
Rob: And the AVE—Spain’s ultra-modern high-speed train—stole 20 percent of the national airlines’ customers when it started a service from Madrid to Barcelona.
Finn: But the UK has been slow to build such high-speed rail lines. It has one from London to Paris but the government wants to build another one—called HS2—connecting London to the middle and north of England.
Rob: The Transport Secretary, Patrick McLoughlin, thinks one line is not good enough. He used the word "essential" to mean a new line to connect British cities has to be built.
Finn: But plans to build HS2 are controversial—not everyone agrees and there is much discussion. Some say other areas of the country will miss out on the economic benefits.
Rob: And it will be very very expensive to build—although some experts say for every £1 spent, it will bring £2 into the economy.
Finn: There are also concerns that some of the countryside will be destroyed. So these are just some of the arguments and it could be a long time before a final decision is made.
Rob: So for now we’ll just have to accept that our trains in the UK will carry on at a sedate speed while we watch with envy as another country’s high-speed train passes us by!
Finn: Er, yes, bat which country’s train is the fastest?
Rob: The record actually belongs to France. It ran a modified version of its TGV train on its network at a speed of574.8 km/h.
Finn: That’s 357.2 miles per hour.
Rob: That train ran on a railway track—but a train that uses magnets to float above the track is being developed in Japan that will run, at a slightly slower speed, at 500 km/h.

One of my earliest memories is of getting keen on fishing in a stream near our house, and while I was standing there waiting for the fish to bite, I’d start noticing all the wildlife. I’d rush home and tell my parents all about the animals and birds I’d seen.

Of course, once you’ve learnt the basics, it might be fun to be a member of a photographic club.
18 What did Jenny imply about time?
A. She had wasted a lot in her childhood.
B. She wished she had made better use of it.

【录音原文】 I’m busy all the time now that I’m better known, with hardly a break sometimes, not something I need or want to do, but I’ve got into the routine of it. I have to get the most out of each day, so I often find myself making notes for articles, or editing images, while waiting in a hide for a bird to appear. I try to be patient, but luckily there’s nobody to hear if I start muttering to myself.
19 What does Jenny say she is known for?
A. Her devotion to the study of animal behavior.
B. Her unique understanding of photography.

【录音原文】 I’ve been working as a wildlife photographer for ten years now and have a pretty strong reputation. And I put in a lot of hours, but again, that’s something we all have to do. I think what I’m known for is being able to come up with exceptional images in adverse conditions.

A. Publish a book of her best pictures.
B. Display her photos while travelling.
C. Gain international recognition.

【答案】 B
【解析】 新闻最后一部分指出“Something I haven’t done, which would be fun, is to travel round the country showing a selection of my images at local art galleries and libraries”，即Jenny想要在游览世界的同时也展览自己的摄影作品。因此答案为B。
【录音原文】 I’ve been fortunate enough to win a couple of international competitions. Something I haven’t done, which would be fun, is to travel round the country showing a selection of my images at local art galleries and libraries.

【答案与解析】
21 recreational
（录音主要内容是关于欧洲国家政府毒品监管力度不足的争议。根据录音中提到的“He thinks that many European governments are too soft on the use of recreational drugs such as marijuana”，可知John Walters认为许多欧洲国家政府对例如大麻这类的消遣性毒品管控不严，因此该空填recreational。recreational娱乐的，消遣的。）
22 directed against
（根据录音中提到的“His main criticism is directed against the Netherlands”，可知John Walters的批评主要指向了荷兰，因此该空填directed against。）
23 manufacturing
（录音中提到的“where he claims that laboratories are manufacturing tons of drugs, including ecstasy, which end up in the United States”，可以得知John Walters认为荷兰的一些实验室在制造大量的毒品，其中包括摇头丸，因此该空填manufacturing。）
24 fundamentally

25 have led to

26 possession

28 concerned with
（录音中“In the Netherlands, the police are not so concerned with soft drugs, such as marijuana”可知，荷兰的警察对软毒品，例如大麻，并不是非常关心。因此该空填concerned with。be concerned with关心；关注。）
29 not justified
（根据录音内容“Martin Witteveen is a Dutch prosecutor for drug crimes and he thinks that the US criticism is not justified”可知荷兰检察官Martin Witteveen认为美国对他们的批评是没有道理的，因此该空填not justified。）
30 an enormous effort
（录音中“If Mr. Waiters had checked the facts more carefully, he would have seen that we have made an enormous effort to improve the situation”，可知Martin Witteveen认为荷兰政府已经为改善目前的状况做出了很多的努力。因此该空填an enormous effort。）
【录音原文】
John Waiters is the director of the US Office of National Drug Control Policy. He thinks that many European governments are too soft on the use of recreational drugs such as marijuana.
His main criticism is directed against the Netherlands, where he claims that laboratories are manufacturing tons of drugs, including ecstasy, which end up in the United States.
“We wish some European governments had thought about the use of drugs more carefully, but clearly they didn’t. This is a fundamentally irrational health policy and social policy,” said Waiters. He believes that the policies have led to the creation of a new generation of drug addicts.
Many European countries have a policy of therapy instead of punishment for possession of drugs for personal use. Prison is a last resort for the punishment of drug users. In the Netherlands, the police are not so concerned with soft drugs, such as marijuana. Nowadays, they concentrate on stopping the manufacture and sale of hard drugs, such as heroin and cocaine.
Martin Witteveen is a Dutch prosecutor for drug crimes and he thinks that the US criticism is not justified. "I wish the Americans would stop blaming us for their social problems," he said. "If Mr. Waiters had checked the facts more carefully, he would have seen that we have made an enormous effort to improve the situation."
There are 15 incomplete sentences in this section. For each blank there are four choices, marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that best completes the sentences. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
Section A Vocabulary and Grammar (10 marks)
31 —I’m sorry I stepped outside for a breath of fresh air. I was so exhausted.
—There is no ______ for this while you are on duty.
A. reason
B. excuse
C. cause
D. explanation
【答案】 B
【解析】 句意：—对不起，我出去呼吸了一下新鲜空气，我实在太累了。—这不是你在值日出现这种状况时应该找的借口。从对话中可以看出第一个说话者是在给自己找借口。A项reason表示“原因，缘故”。B项excuse表示“理由，借口”。C项cause表示“原因；事业”。D项explanation表示“解释，说明”。其中只有B项excuse含贬义。故正确答案为B项。
32 In some western countries, ______are called “public schools” are not run by the state.
A. that
B. what
C. which
D. as
【答案】 B
【解析】 句意：在有些西方国家，被称为“公立学校”的学校不是由国家管理的。空白部分作从句中的主语，that位于主语从句句首不充当任何成分；which表示“哪一个”，而这句话中没有特指某个事物或选择性的含义；as不能引导主语从句，因此what为正确答案。
33 —Do you suppose we should accept the businessman’s help?
—Yes, we should, for we______such bad luck up till now, and time______ out.
A. have had; is running
B. had; is running
C. have; has been run
D. have had; has been run
【答案】 A
【解析】 句意：—你认为我们应该接受那个商人的帮助吗？—是的，我们应该接受，因为我们一直到现在运气都不好，而且时间也不多了。在对话中，坏运气一直持续到现在，已经发生并有持续性，故应使用现在完成时；而“时间不够”是现在正在发生的事，应用现在进行时。
34 I regret ______ her about the accident. That is a great blow to her.
A. to be telling
B. to tell
C. having told
D. being told
【答案】 C
【解析】 句意：我后悔把这个事故告诉了她，这对她是个沉重的打击。regret doing…表示后悔做过某事，regret to do sth.表示后悔未做某事，在此句中，说话者已经告诉了她这个事故，事情已经发生，故应用doing sth.。
35 The solutions of these problems, ______ social ______ medical, have not been found, in spite of the best efforts of our scientists.
A. either; or
B. neither; nor
C. whether; or
D. as; as
【答案】 C
【解析】 句意：尽管我们的科学家们做出了最大的努力，我们还是不能找到这些问题（不论是社会上还是医学上）的解决方案。whether…or…表示“是…还是…”whether和or后面的内容都包括。either…or…表示“两者之一”。neither…or…表示“两者都不”。根据句意可推断，此处表达的含义应该是“社会和医学两个方面的问题都没有解决。”故whether…or…为本题正确选项。
36 After typing the pinyin, a list of characters ______ the same pronunciation pops up, ______ which users can choose ______ they are looking for.
A. in; from; it
B. with; from; the one
C. in; on; that
D. with; of; one
【答案】 B
【解析】 句意：打出拼音以后，一连串发音相同的汉字就会出现，使用者可以从中选择他们想要找的字。with可表示带有某种特征，用来表示“发音相同的汉字”，from与which搭配，表示从这些汉字中挑选。这里表示所要找的那个字，是特指某一个事物，因此最后一个短句的先行词用the one。
37 A survey was carried out on the death rate of those who were infected by the pollution ______ were surprising.
A. as results
B. which results
C. the results of it
D. the results of which

【解析】 句意：一项研究被发表了，这项研究针对因污染而被感染的人的死亡率进行了调查，其结果出人意料。最后一个短句是一个非限制性定语从句，说的是研究的结果，而其中的which指代的是研究，因此要用表示所属关系的the＋名词＋of which结构。
38 On no account ______to anyone who works in this company.
A. his name must be told
B. his name must tell
C. must his name be told
D. must his name tell

A. All is well that ends well
B. One man’s meat is another’s poison
C. Better safe than sorry
D. No sweet without sweat
【答案】 C
【解析】 句意：—你为什么放弃赚大钱的机会？—宁可事先谨慎有余，不要事后追悔莫及。你也知道我不想要通过冒险发大财。根据作答者后半部分提到的taking risks“冒险”可以推断，回答者放弃这个机会的原因是考虑到安全问题。选项C是有关安全问题的一个谚语，符合语境。

A. got cold feet
B. went through the roof
C. turned my head
D. was over the moon
【答案】 A

There is a story that is retold whenever a plane crash hits the headlines; if only the aircraft were made of the same (46) mat ______ as the black box, then everybody would survive. The legendary (47) ______(invincible) of the famous box is familiar to most of us. Yet for such a well-known object, it is remarkably (48) my s ______. How many of us know that the “black” box is in fact painted fluorescent orange?
“It was originally called a black box in the days when anything to do with (49) ______ (electronic) was new and strange,” explains Pete Cook, from a flight recorder manufacturer. “They’re painted orange nowadays to make them more easily (50) vis ______ in the event of a crash”.
There are two kinds of black box: the flight data recorder (FDR) and the cockpit voice recorder (VCR). Both are normally stored at the rear of an aircraft, (51) ______ the fuselage （机身）meets the upper tail fin—the part of planes that has the best survival record. The same principle (52) ______ (apply) to human passengers—you are safer at the back.
(53) De ______ their reputation, neither box is in fact indestructible. However, they can withstand a (54) tem ______ of 1,100℃ for30 minutes and 250℃ for 10 hours. They must also be able to survive an impact force of3,500g—that’s 3,500 times the force of gravity.
To take this kind of strain, flight recorders are encased（包装）in two thicknesses of titanium. Memory chips hold the flight data. While FDRs make an electronic record of the plane’s mechanical performance, CVRs record the (55) com ______ between the crew. “After a crash in water, they send out a sonar ‘ping’ so that they can be found,” says Cook. “But they are still only recovered in 80 percent of accidents.”
【答案与解析】
46 material
（如果飞机使用和黑匣子相同的材料制成，那么所有人都能生还。从已知字母和句意可以推断此处应填material，表示“材料，材质”。）
47 invincibility
（此处指“我们都知道黑匣子无坚不摧。”legendary为形容词，修饰名词或副词。同时，根据空格后面的“...of the…”表达的所属关系可判断，空格处应填入名词。invincible的名词为invincibility，表示“无敌，无坚不摧。”）
48 mysterious
（根据空格下一句的提问“有多少人知道黑匣子是被涂成荧光橙的？”可判断，此处表达的含义是：黑匣子非常的神秘。故空格内应填mysterious。）
49 electronics
（anything to do with…表示“与…相关的任何东西”。with后面加名词，electronic的名词形式为electronics“电子”。）
50 visible
（根据空格前面的more和easily可判断，空格内应填入形容词。同时根据句子意思可以猜测，此处应填入visible，表示“将黑匣子涂成橙色是为了让它们在飞行事故中更容易被看见”。）
51 where
（根据句子结构可知，空格处填入的词引导后面的定语从句。定语从句的先行词为at the rear of an aircraft，故空格处应填入关系副词where，在从句中作地点状语。）
52 applies
（该句的主语the same principle为可数名词单数形式，谓语动词也应该使用单数形式。故空格处应填入applies，apply to表示“适用于，应用于”。）
53 Despite
（根据句意可判断，该句的前后部分为转折关系，所以空格处应填入一个具有转折意义的词，结合所给字母可知，此处应填入Despite。）
54 temperature
（根据空格后面的1100℃和250℃可知，此处应该填入temperature“温度”。）
55 communication
（此句表达的意思是“黑匣子FDR记录飞机的机械性能，黑匣子CVR记录机务人员的交谈内容。”结合给出的字母可判断，空格处应填入communication。）

Goslings Furniture Summer Sale
Dear Mr Haynes,
As a valued customer, we would like to invite you to our Preview Week commencing 9:15 am Saturday 9th May, before the Sale is open to the general public.
During this week we would like to offer you:
●up to ten months interest free credit or
●vouchers worth up to £375 extra discount
Questions 56—60
Decide the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.
56 You can get money back with PRICE WATCH at all JMB stores.
57 When you are a member of Books-R-Us you are guaranteed to get books for half the price they are in the shops.
58 If you buy a pair of shoes in the Sale in NIKE’s Flagship Store with any pair of old shoes, you pay £10 less than the full price.
59 You can buy a pair of glasses from E&F with a 10% discount on 15 May.
60 Goslings Furniture Summer Sale is open only to its valued customers during the Preview Week.
【答案与解析】
56 F 第一个offer中提到“We are the only store to do so…”，由此可知题干中提到的“at all JMB stores”错误。
57 F 左边第二个offer最后提到，作为会员在BOOKS-R-US得到50%优惠的前提是“… buy at least six books during your first year of membership.”，即成为会员的第一年必须购买六本书以上，才能够得到半折优惠。而并非如题干所表述的那样，一成为会员就可以获得半折优惠。
58 T 最后一个offer中提到“如果你带一双旧鞋子去耐克的旗舰店买一双新鞋子，就可以获得10%的优惠。”题干内容与此一致，故正确。
59 F 右边第一个offer中提出“This voucher entitles you to 10% off…on or before 10 May.”由此可知，在E&F购买眼镜能够得到10%优惠的是5月10号这一天或之前，而题干中的5月15号在5月10号之后，不能享受该种优惠。故题干表述错误。
60 T 右边第二个offer中，Goslings Furniture Summer Sales邀请valued customs（重要客户）参加其预览周的开幕式，邀请函中提到了预览周在销售向公众开放之前进行。由此可知，Goslings Furniture Summer Sales的预览周只向重要客户开放，后期的销售才会向公众开放。故题干表述正确。
Section B (10 marks)
Questions 61—65 are based on the following passage.
CVs from Around the World
Did you know that your CV (known as a “resume”) needs to be adapted depending on where in the world you are looking for a job? The Germans, French, Americans and Italians all look for different things, although we are living in a global village. Small cultural differences still apply. And although Britain is part of Europe, it takes its business philosophy from America—the “can do” approach which does not always go down well with other European countries.
(61) ______It makes European employers have a rather low opinion of people applying from the UK. So, if you do have language skills, these should be highlighted in your CV, along with any foreign travel or cultural experiences. A CV should show that you are open to new cultures and ideas, so a summer job of picking grapes in France, or a voluntary post helping sick children in another part of the world, should be highlighted.
(62)______In France, companies expect you to supply a handwritten cover letter, as they are very keen on obtaining information from the way in which people write. You will be expected to list personal interests, as well as any languages you speak, and provide them with a photograph.
(63)______However, they do demand that your CV is presented in a binder（活页夹）, together with copies of all your education certificates and references from previous employers. German companies require information which in the UK would not be requested until a job offer was going to be made. German employers are not interested in your personal interests, but often applicants include details about their parents and their parents’ jobs.
(64) ______If you are planning to apply for a job in one of these countries it would be a good idea to go there and meet people. Italians accept that you might not know their language, but if you are willing to learn, they will accept that. In Italy trust is very important, as well as dressing well and having good manners. In Scandinavian cultures, especially Norway, your CV should not be self-centred, seeking to sell the individual with words like “committed”. Norwegians expect you not to overplay your achievements.
(65)______This means you should exclude details such as age, sex or marital status, and never include a photograph. Any of these could give someone grounds for discrimination against you. The aim of an American CV is to show that you can do the job.
Questions 61—65
Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.
A. Italy and Spain are strong on personal contacts.
B. CVs must contain as much information as possible.
C. In the USA, some of what British people include in their CVs would be illegal.
D. The Germans, on the other hand, do not expect a cover letter.
E. Before applying for a job, you must design your CV carefully.
F. Even within Europe, there are enormous differences in what is expected of applicants for jobs.
G. Another problem for the British is their lack of skills in foreign languages.
【答案与解析】
61 G 根据下文内容可知，该段主要讲述英国雇主看重应聘者简历中的外语能力与国际交流经验，G项“英国人的另外一个问题是他们缺乏外语能力。”解释了英国雇主看重应聘者外语能力的原因，符合语境，为正确选项。
62 F 空格前一段描述的是英国人青睐的简历类型，而本段主要讲述法国人青睐的简历类型。两段内容讲述的是欧洲两个不同国家的情况。F项“即使是在欧洲境内，不同国家对于应聘者的要求也有很大的差别。”符合上下文语境，放在两段中间，能够起到承上启下的作用，故正确答案为F项。
63 D 本段讲述德国所要求的简历形式，所给选项中只有D项与此相关。
64 A 后文提到了意大利的情况，且根据空格下一句中出现的“one of these countries”可以判断，空格处填入的内容应该与意大利相关，且提到的国家不止一个。A项“意大利和西班牙人擅长人际交往。”符合要求。
65 C 根据空格后面的内容可以得知，本段主要讲述美国的简历情况。结合所给选项，只有C项与此相关。
Section C (10 marks)
Questions 66—70 are based on the following passage.
The Poseidon Effect
Late one autumn day at the local swimming pool in Ancenis, France, an 18-year-old named Jean-Francois LeRoy came for his regular evening swim in the 25-metre pool.
When people are drowning, they don’t usually shout and splash in the way it happens on television. Most people drown quite silently, with the person quickly sinking beneath the water. On this evening, LeRoy was testing how far he could swim underwater on one breath. At some moment, as he was doing this, he became unconscious. He sank to the bottom of the pool. LeRoy was drowning.
Luckily for him, the swimming pool was installed with an electronic surveillance （监控） system called Poseidon. Although the human lifeguards had not noticed, 12 large machine eyes deep underwater were watching the whole thing. Poseidon has underwater cameras which film people as they swim. The cameras are connected to a computer. It is programmed to recognize when a swimmer is not moving normally. The lifeguards at the Ancenis pool were wearing a special device that beeped when the computer detected a possible problem. Sixteen seconds after Poseidon noticed LeRoy’s body, the lifeguards had pulled him out of the pool. He started breathing again. After one night in the local hospital, he was sent home completely well. Poseidon had saved his life.
Machines like Poseidon completely change how we live. Think of your life before the answering machine was invented. Think of your grandparents’ lives before the television and the airplane were introduced. The change will be just as great. It is already happening.
Soon, machines will recognize our faces and our fingerprints. They will watch out for drowning people, for terrorists carrying bombs, for speeding drivers and heart patients. Imagine devices that monitor a baby’s breathing and track children as they go to and from school. Imagine machines sending quiet signals to nearby computers, which will send information to your doctor, your lawyer, and the local police. As time passes, more and more of our lives will be monitored by machines. They will know all about us.
Questions 66—70
Answer the following questions according to the passage.
66 What do drowning people usually behave as are shown on TV?
67 How does Jean-Francois feel when he almost drowns?
68 What are the underwater cameras used for?
69 What does the author say that machines will do in future? Give two examples.
70 What is the main idea of the passage?
【答案与解析】
66 They shout and splash in the water.
（文章第二段第一句提到“…they don’t usually shout and splash in the way it happens on television.”由此可知，电视上人溺水时会大喊、拍打水面。）
67 He feels unconscious.
（文章第二段倒数第三句提到“…as he doing this, he became unconscious.”由此可知，当LeRoy溺水的时候，他失去了意识。）
68 They are used for recognizing whether a swimmer is moving normally or not.
（文章第三段第五句提到“It is programmed to recognize when a swimmer is moving or not.”由此可知，水下摄像机被用来识别游泳者是否正常移动。）
69 They will recognize our faces and fingerprints. For example, they can watch out for drowning people, and for terrorists carrying bombs.
（文章最后一段开头提到“Soon, machines will recognize our faces and our fingerprints. They will watch out for drowning people, for terrorists carrying bombs, for speeding drivers and heart patients.”即未来，机器将能够识别出我们的脸和指纹，能够提防溺水人员、携带炸弹的恐怖分子、超速驾驶员以及心脏病患者。）
70 Machines like Poseidon completely change how we live.
（文章首先讲述了LeRoy溺水的例子，由此引出了对Poseidon这种水下电子监控设备的介绍，表明了Poseidon的有效性。然后讲述了机器将对人类生活带来的改变。因此，文章的主要观点可以归纳为“Machines like Poseidon completely change how we live.”。）
Section D (10 marks)
Questions 71—75 are based on the following passage.
A World Without Time or Number
The Pirahā are an isolated Amazonian tribe of hunter-gatherers who live deep in the Brazilian rainforest. The tribe has survived for centuries, although there are now only around 200 people left. The Pirahā, who communicate mainly through hums and whistles, have fascinated ethnologists for years, mainly because they have almost no words for numbers. They use only three words to count: one, two, and many.
We know about the Pirahā thanks to Dan Everett, a Professor of Phonetics, who spent seven years with the tribe in the 1970s and 1980s. Everett discovered a world without numbers, without time, without words for colours, without subordinate clauses and without a past tense. Their language, he found, was not just simple grammatically; it was restricted in its range of sounds and differed between the sexes. For the men, it has just eight consonants and three vowels; for the women, who have the smallest number of speech sounds in the world, to seven consonants and three vowels. To the untutored ear, the language sounds more like humming than speech. The Pirahā can also whistle their language, which is how men communicate when hunting.
Their culture is similarly constrained. The Pirahā can’t write, have little collective memory, and no concept of decorative art. In 1980 Everett tried to teach them to count: he explained basic arithmetic to an enthusiastic group keen to learn the skills needed to trade with other tribes. After eight months, not one could count to ten; even one plus one was beyond them. The experiment seemed to confirm Everett’s theory: the tribe just couldn’t conceive the concept of number.
The Pirahā’s inability to count is important because it seems to disprove Noam Chomsky’s influential Theory of Universal Grammar, which holds that the human mind has a natural capacity for language, and that all languages share a basic rule structure, which enables children to understand abstract concepts such as number.
Questions 71—75
Complete the summary with a maximum of three words from the passage.
The Pirahā is a tribe who has lived in the Brazilian rainforest for hundreds of years. They communicate just with (71) ______. This has made many ethnologists interested in them. Their language is very special, not only because it is simple (72) ______, but also because it is different (73) ______ the sexes. Men and women acquire different (74) ______. Although a professor of phonetics has tried to teach them (75) ______, he failed. This seems to disprove Noam Chomsky’s influential Theory of Universal Grammar.
【答案与解析】
71 hums and whistles
（文章第一段第三句提到“The Pirahā, who communicate mainly through hums and whistles…”，即Pirahā主要通过哼哼和吹口哨来交流。）
72 grammatically
（文章第二段第三句前半句提到“Their language, he found, was not just simple grammatically…”，即Pirahā人的语言在语法上是极其简单的。）
73 between
（文章第二段第三句后半部分提到“it was restricted in its range of sounds and differed between the sexes.”，即在Piraha部落内，不同性别之间使用的语言有很大的不同。）
74 consonants and vowels
（文章第三段提到“Piraha部落男性会使用八个辅音、三个元音，而女性仅会使用七个辅音、三个元音。”，因此男女双方所掌握的辅音和元音不同。）
75 to count
（文章第三段第三句提到“In 1980 Everett tried to teach them to count.”由此可知，教授曾经教Pirahā部落的人计算，但是失败了。）

Translate the following paragraph into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
76
One of Britain’s best-known poets is Roger McGough. His works is enjoyed by people of all ages—both children and adults—in many countries. He began his career in the 1960s as a performer in the Liverpool pop group The Scaffold and he continues to tour and perform widely. The poems are meant to be read aloud—they are simply structured, easy to understand, full of comic rhymes and word-play, but their light-heartedness and ease of ten hide a serious point.
【参考译文】
罗杰·麦格夫是英国最著名的诗人之一。他的作品被很多国家各个年龄段的人（儿童和成人）所喜爱。他的职业生涯始于二十世纪六十年代：在利物浦的流行乐团“脚手架”中表演，并且还继续到处巡演。他的诗歌结构简单，易于理解，充满喜剧式的韵律和表达方式，适合大声朗读。但诗歌轻松和自在的背后往往隐藏着严肃的话题。
【解析】
①句式结构
本段中翻译的难点在最后一句。该句是一个句式较复杂的并列句。首先确定整个长句由两个并列句组成，but后面的内容在汉语翻译时可以另起一句。破折号后面的内容是对前文的解释，翻译时可以提前。be meant to be 在这里表示“需要”。simply structured, easy to understand, full of comic rhymes and word-play为三个并列结构，描述诗的特点。but之后的句子中light-heartedness and ease为主语，hide为谓语，可译作“隐藏”。
②重点词汇
performer n. 执行者；演奏者
scaffold n. 脚手架
comic adj. 喜剧的；滑稽的
rhyme n. 韵律，韵脚
light-heartedness n. 自由自在，无忧无虑
Section B (10 marks)
Translate the following sentences into English by using the hints given in brackets. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
77 人们一直想知道在其他星球上存在智能生命形式的可能性。(wonder about)
【答案】 People have always wondered about the possibility of intelligent life forms on other planets.
【解析】 wonder about表示“想知道”，后面可以加名词或句子。本句中用“the possibility of…”来表示“…的可能性”使得句子更加紧凑。“智能生命形式”可翻译成“intelligent life forms”。
78 这段时期医疗保健变得如此昂贵，政府资金显然是不够的。(sufficient)
【答案】 Medical care has become so expensive these days that government funding is apparently not sufficient.
【解析】 sufficient表示“足够的”。本句在翻译时使用了“so…that…”的句式，表示“如此…以至于…”。句中的“政府资金”应该翻译成“government funding”，“显然”可以使用“apparently”。
79 移民必须适应在新的国家生活的压力和挑战。(adapt to)
【答案】 Immigrants must adapt to the pressures and challenges of life in the new country.
【解析】 adapt to 为固定短语，表示“使自己适应于…”。“移民”应译为“immigrants”。
80 看来，实验结果并没有他们预料的那么成功。(anticipate)
【答案】 It seems that the results of the experiment are not as successful as they anticipated.
【解析】 anticipate表示“预料”，后面加名词词组或从句。“看来”位于句首可以翻译成“it seems”。本句使用了“as...as...”的句式，表示“像…一样。”
81 他搬到巴黎后才遇到了其他艺术家并开始尝试一种新的艺术形式。（强调句）
【答案】 It was after he moved to Paris that he met other artists and began to try a new art form.
【解析】 英语中为了强调句子的某一成分（通常是主语、宾语、或状语），常用强调句型：It is (was)＋被强调部分＋that (who)...；被强调部分可以是主语、宾语、表语或状语；强调的主语如果是人，that和who都可用。本句中强调的是时间“到巴黎以后”。所以句子的正确形式为It was after he moved to Paris that he met other artists and began to try a new art form。

Write the answers on the answer sheet.
【答案与解析】
82 ever→never
（根据文章内容可知，时尚从不是运动的重点，has ever been表示“有过”，不符合语意，故应将ever改成never，has never been表示“从未，从来都没有”。）
83 去掉the
（take part in表示“参与，参加”，中间不加冠词。因此，the应去掉。）
84 去掉the
（staff and competitors表示“员工和参赛者”泛指，前面不需要加冠词。因此，the应去掉。）
85 design→designed
（本句的谓语为improve，designed to用来修饰主语all the technical advances，两者为被动关系，所以应使用design to的过去分词形式designed to。）
86 enormous→enormously
（此处enormous修饰动词benefit，故应该使用其副词形式enormously。）
87 be→being
（lent itself to doing sth.中的to是介词，后面加动词的-ing形式。故应将此处的be改为being。）
88 √
89 exception→exceptions
（a few表示“有些”，后面加可数名词的复数形式。所以此处的exception应该改为exceptions。）
90 worn→wearing
（those与其修饰词wear之间存在主动关系，故应使用wear的动名词形式wearing。）
91 fashion→fashionable
(“看起来很时尚”应该是“looks fashionable”。故应将名词fashion改为形容词fashionable。)

【参考范文】
My Future Career
My plan for the future is to be a successful English teacher. First of all, the decision is based upon my interest in English. Interest is always the foremost element for me to consider when I make decisions. To be a teacher allows me to pass on my knowledge as well as my love to language learning and teaching. Secondly, in view of the stability of a job, being a teacher is one of the best choices. Besides, to be a teacher is consistent with my parents’ expectations for me to have a secure job. Thirdly, being a teacher will provide me with much room to make academic improvement. Last but not the least, teacher work with two months’ summer vacation and one month’s winter vacation is less stressful compared to other busy jobs.
To realize my dream of being an English teacher in the future, I need to make preparations from now on. I should study English harder to be qualified academically. The teacher certification is a must to a teacher. And the abilities to deliver classes and communicate with students smoothly are also required. There is an old saying in Chinese: the early bird catches the worm. So I really should get started now.
