參考答案與提示
I、聽力原文:
A、聽力填空題:聽下面一段短文,填入所缺的詞。短文讀兩遍。
The Palace of Westminster
The proper name for the Houses of Parliament is the Palace of Westminster and, in fact, there has been a royal palace on that site ever since the days of Edward the Confessor_H. The last king actually to live there was Henry VIII who left the Palace of Westminster after a bad fire in 1529. The Houses of Parliament are still a royal palace and were controlled by the Lord Great Chamberlain himself until 1965. There are records of a keeper of the palace since 1150, and he was paid 7d a day for the job from that day until 1884, when the position was abolished. And if you think that is funny, remember that even today all the M.P.s’ cloakroom pegs have a little loop of red tape hanging from them --- to hold their swords! The oldest part of the Houses of Parliament is Westminster Hall. Parts of this were built by William Rufus who succeeded William the Conqueror_H. But most of it was built by a famous architect called Henry Yevele between 1394 and 1399. When William Rufus first built Westminster Hall it was called the New Hall to stop it being confused with the Old Hall built by Edward the Confessor. From that day to this the courtyard in front of it has been known as “New Palace Yard.”

Putting on a play can be fun.Acting can be like the dress-up games that children play. For a while,to pretend to be someone else can be a very exciting experience.
Professional actors take part in plays and television programs given in New York and other large cities.They earn their living by acting.But other people act in plays just for fun and are not paid for their work.They are high school or college students and adults who belong to “little theatre” groups.In the daytime,they are students,teachers,doctors,lawyers and policemen.They are actors only in the evenings or weekends.
One of the America’s oldest little theatre groups is in Indianapolis,Indiana.They are called the Players Club,and they put on 8 plays a year.People in the city buy tickets to see the plays.Anyone who wants to act may join the Players Club.
There are little theatre groups in many cities. They continue to put on plays because they bring pleasure to a large number of people.People in a little theatre group enjoy having the chance to act,while the audience enjoy watching the plays,too.

6. hold 7.oldest 8.famous 9.first 10. known
B、1-5 CABAC
C、6~10 CABCA 11~1 5BACAB
二、Talking (說)
A、補全對話
1. 選B。上句是在問路,從答語中的后半句可知,表明此人是走錯路了。
2. 選A。從下文可知,警察告訴他要向左拐,是他本人弄錯。
3. 選E。從下面的答語中可知,上文是問“多遠”。
4. 選D。根據上下文可以推斷出此選項。
5. 選C。根據上文可推斷出要選C。
6. 選F。這是一句答謝用語。
B、情景交際
1. 選C。 當對方邀請做某事時,可以回答Yes, I will.或Certainly, I will.譯文:“我非常喜歡這種食物。”“我很高興你喜歡它。請什么時候順便到家來。”“好的,我將會來的。”用Is it all right?和I’m afraid I won‘t be free.回答很不客氣。That‘s great.的意思是“那太好了。”不符合日常說話的習慣。答案為C。
2. 選D。take your time的意思是“別著急”。譯文:“恐怕這周內我完不成這本書。”“別著急。”Please go ahead意為:說吧,做吧,是不阻止別人請求的一種答語;That‘s all right意為:不謝,沒關系。但從對話可知甲是在說明一個事實:一周內完不成,而沒道歉或感謝之意,故排除B。Not at all用法等同于That‘s all right。答案為D。
3. 選C。從doctor這個詞可以判斷這是病人與護士之間的談話。病人想見醫生,所以護士說Certainly. May I know your name?其他幾種回答都不符合現實情況。譯文:“喂,我可以和醫生訂個約會嗎?”“當然可以,我可以知道你的名字嗎?”答案為C。
4. 選D。 They couldn‘t have done better.在這里是一句贊揚的話,說明他們已經盡到了最大的努力,不會打的比這再好了。譯文:“你認為昨天的籃球運動員打得出色嗎?”“他們做的不能比這更好了。”答案為D。
5. 選A。 What about doing…?是征求對方意見的日常用語。Good idea.則是對別人的提議表示贊成。Help yourself意為:請便,是對他人要做的事的一種贊同;Go ahead也是同意別人做事的答語;Me, too則表示別人怎樣,你也怎樣,與題意顯然不符。答案為A。
6. 選A。 這是飯店服務生常用的對顧客的一種答語。Yes, sir ?的意思是“先生,什么事?”以便知道對方的請求。答案為A。
7. 選A。Shall I help……?是提供幫助的交際用語。It‘s all right, thanks.表示接受對方的幫助,并表示感謝。用Yes, go ahead please.“好的,你做吧。”回答不太客氣。如果你不需對方幫助一般要說:Thanks all the same, I can manage it myself。答案為A。
8. 選B. You’ve given us a wonderful dinner, Mrs Wang.是以贊揚對方的話表示謝意,對方可以回答說Thank you.或I‘m glad you enjoyed it.選項A和D都是中國式的答語,不符合西方的習慣。Come again when you are free.顯得過于唐突。答案為B。
9. 選A。 Do you mind if…?是表示征求許可的日常用語。對Do you mind…的回答要注意:不介意時要說:No, certainly/Not/Of course not;如果介意要說:Sorry, but…或I’d rather you didn‘t…,所以選項B和D都是錯誤的。選項C不符合西方人的習慣。答案為A。
10. 選D。 Will you…?是表示請求對方做某事的日常用語。No problem的意思是“沒問題”。That‘s fine是同意別人去干;Nothing serious:沒啥嚴重的;Never mind不要緊,均沒有給出明確答復,也不符合回答習慣。答案為D。

四、Reading(閱讀)
A、完形填空
1. 選B。by+doing以某種方式,例如:I killed the spider by hitting it.用with表某種方式 時,后面接工具等名詞。如:I killed the spider with a newspaper.
2. 選D。number修飾可數名詞,amount修飾不可數名詞;沒有the lot of這種構,quantity不接具體數量詞,只表示物質多少,如:A large/small quantity of beer was sold.
3. 選A。前句談到的是學生的增長,此處用more than更連貫。much為形容詞原形,后面不接than; fewer than, less than少于。
4. 選B。from…to為一固定結構,意為“從……到”。
5. 選C。代詞與self分開用時,中間一般有形容詞,如:He put his whole self into the job.
反身代詞一般作賓語或同位語,不作定語。因此, 此處排除選項self;personal(個人的)能作定語,但不符合題意;own(自己的)常作定語。
6. 選C。consist of與take in, include近義:consist of賓語是主語的全部內容,而include和take in的賓語有可能只是主語的一部分。例如:The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland.
7. 選D。as用法廣泛,as well as“也……”,“除…之外”,相當于介詞,as long as是連
詞,意思為“只要”。
8. 選A。在具體的時間名詞后,可用ago。 before和after作副詞,此處用after翻譯不通。Before 和ago的區別在于:ago的時間參照點是現在,“before now”;而before
的參照點不是現在,“before then”,而且before在具體的時間名詞后作副詞時,一般用于完成時。例如:last summer, I left the firm that I had joined eighteen years before.
9. 選D。參照此句前部分,此處derive“得到”后應為政府撥款,即選項D.funds(資金)。 10. 選B。pay the fees支付費用;make, change, delay,一般不與fees搭配。 11. 選C。該句為一定語從句。the place是先行詞,從句he lives缺狀語,故用where引
導定語從句修飾the place。 12. 選C。lodging and food食宿,此處不用living。因為living包括lodging在內。 13. 選D。一般來說,只有家庭貧窮,學生才可申請補助。 14. 選B。上句談到學生學費問題,此處承接上句,繼續談學生賺錢之事。也可結合后
面的take jobs in the summer綜合考慮。 15. 選D。for后面接一段時間;at, since后只能接時間點。例如:I used to study German
for two years.過去我曾學過兩年德語。 16. 選B。“在假期工作”,承接本句上半部分。用work取代job,力求語言的多樣性。 17. 選A。take responsibility for對……負責,用duty則是It’s the duty of the Department
of Education to pay the money…;take the advice of采納……的建議。
18. 選C。本文討論的是關于大學的問題,此處討論教育部在資金方面對大學的責任。 19. 選C。have influence on… 對……影響;例如:Listening to the music has a calming
influence on her.聽音樂可以使她的心情平靜。 20. 選B。“由……組成”可由comprise, consist of, be composed of, be made up of表示, 例
如:The United Kingdom comprises/ consists of/ is composed of/ is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. “組成”則用constitute , comprise。
例如:England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland constitute/comprise/make up the United Kingdom.(be composed of:由……組成)。
B、閱讀理解
1.選A。根據文章第二段“Great Britian, or Britian…”可知,他們是指同一個地方。
2. 選B。根據第二段第一句話“The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map.”,可知B項是正確的。
3. 選D。國是不列顛群島的一個部分,英格蘭是英國的一個部分。
4. 選B。在寫英文信件的地址時,地址書寫的順序是有小到大,即Edinburgh要寫在
Scotland的前面。而Scotland是Great Britain的一個部分。
5. 選C。根據文章第一段中“the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London.”可知,C項是正確的。
6. 選B。根據文章第二段“However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the
tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰), as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe.”,可知應該選B。
7. 選B。根據文章最后一句“It carried 9 million riders in its first year.”,可知,catch on的意思為“受歡迎的”。
8. 選C。當初建造地鐵的目的就是為了緩解交通,最后為緩解了英國的交通問題。
五、Writing(寫作)
A、單句改錯
1. stood-改為standing。standing用作現在分詞,在此處用作狀語。
2. 去掉the。某個部門的獨一的領導前不用冠詞。
3. lay改為lying。lying為現在分詞作賓語補足語。
4. whether改為that。that引導一個賓語從句。
5. that改為where。此處表示這個詞可被用在哪個情景里。
6. made改為making。此處為have some problems in doing sth結構。
7. requiring改為requires。主語為problems,he referred to為定語從句。
8. 第二個to改為with。be connected with意為“與……有關系、牽連”。
9. surprised改為surprise。to one’s surprise為習慣短語。
10. with改為in。表示“穿著什么顏色的衣服要用介詞in。
11. whether改為that。no doubt與that 連用。
12. get改為got;或在get前加should。It’s high time后接從句時,要用慮擬語氣。
13. affair改為matter。Matter在此相當于wrong。
14. don’t改為will。此句為祈使句,后面要用will。
15. coming改成come。is supposed to 意為“應當”“理應”,后接動詞原形。

My beautiful hometown is located in what is surrounded by green hills and clear water. Row upon row of old styled and newly-built houses line on both sides of the road. Birds either chirp or sing to their heart’s content in the woods. It is fit for people to live in. People here are enjoying an easy and peaceful life. In the past ten years, its economy has been developing rapidly. Many factories can be seen here and there. It is taking on a new look. It has become a place of interest attracting a lot of people from home and abroad.
You can’t afford to miss it.
