SECTION B PASSAGES Questions 11 to 13 are based on the following announcement. Attention, all passengers, platform change!

18、This is a platform change. The train now standing at Platform 9 is the 10:48 train calling at all stations to Nanjing. Please note the train on Platform 9 is not the 10:52 train to Jinan. Its the 10:48 train calling at all stations to Nanjing. The 10:52 to Jinan will now leave from Platform 7. Train

19、 announcement, the 11:20 train to Zhengzhou from Platform 8 will be subject to a 15-minute delay. I re peat there will be a 15-minute delay for the Zhengzhou train on Platform 8. It will now leave at 11:35, not 11: 20. The 11:28 train to Hangzhou has been cancelled. We apologize to customers, but du

20、e to signal problems, the 11:28 train to Hangzhou from Platform 15 has been cancelled. The 11:32 train to Tianjin is now standing at Platform 13. Please note, there will be no restaurant car on this train. I repeat: there will be no restaurant car on the 11:32 to Tianjin now standing at Platform 13.

21、 Questions 14 to 16 are based on the following passage. The International Red Cross in Red Crescent Museum was opened in Geneva in 1988. It tells the story of men and women who in the course of the major events of the last 150 years have given assistance to victims of war and natural disasters. The

22、organization was established in 1863 and was based on the idea by a Swiss businessman called Henry Durant. He had witnessed the heavy casualties of the battle of Solferino in Italy four years earlier, in which 40,000 people were killed, wounded or missing. He had seen the lack of medical services in

23、 the great suffering of many of the wounded who simply died from lack of care. The International Red Cross or Red Crescent exists to help the victims of conflicts and disasters regardless of their nationalities. The symbol of the organization was originally just a red cross. It has no religious sign

24、ificance. The founders of the movement adopted it as a tribute to Switzerland. However, during the rest of the Turkish war, the Turks felt that the cross could be seen as a fence to the Muslim soldiers and the second symbol, the red crescent, was adopted for use by national organizations in the Isla

25、mic world. Both are now official symbols. Questions 17 to 20 are based on the following passage. At major college or high school sports events, cheerleaders, both male and female, jump and dance in front of the crowd, and shout the name of their team, running around, yelling Go Team Go! The first ch

26、eerleader ever was a man. In 1898, Johnny Campbell jumped in front of the crowd at the university of Minnesota and shouted for his team. He shouted Hurrah, Minnesota! This was the first organized show, or yell. For the next 32 years, cheerleaders were men only. Cheerleading is not just about cheerin

27、g. They practice special shows, dances, and athletic shows. The men throw the women high in the air, and catch them. The team members climb on each others shoulders to make a human pyramid. They yell and dance too. It is like human fire works. Of course, they may often suffer serious knee and wrist

28、injuries and bloody noses. Cheerleaders have their own contests every year at local, state and national levels. And a crowd shouts for them. It is not fair to think cheerleading is just being cheerful and lively and having a loud voice. Cheerleading is a sport in itself. SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST Que

29、stions 21 and 22 are based on the following news. The bodies of dozens of African emigrants discovered off the Italian coast last week might have been thrown overboard, Italian officials said on Monday. A coast guard spokesman said 15 illegal emigrants, all believed to come from Somalia, survived be

30、ing thrown into the Mediterranean sea. But one of the survivors, a woman, was in a serious condition. They told the coast guard that their boat had left Libya 20 days before with around 100 immigrants aboard. They said most had died during the trip. Last Friday, 7 Africans, including 3 children, die

31、d before their boat could reach the island. A further 25 people survived. Question 23 is based on the following news. China has set aside on putting 3 people into space for a week, the China news service said on Tuesday. The news agency reported an official as saying the preparations were underway f

32、or the next Shenzhou launch. The Shenzhou VI is expected to blast off within the next two years. Shenzhou V carried a Chinese astronaut aloft. He circled the earth 14 times during his 21-hour trip October 15th to 16th 2003, making China the third country to put a man into space. Questions 24 and 25

33、are based on the following news. Gigantic waves of flame that covered entire neighborhoods and filled the skies over Southern California with ash have killed at least 13 people. At least 6 separate wildfires were still burning on Monday morning all the way from the Mexican border to the suburbs of L

34、as Angeles. They were reported to have destroyed 800 homes and consumed about 120 thousand hectares of land. Authority said they were seeking two men in connection with the fires, which they believed were started deliberately. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the following news. There has been modest

35、 growth in tourism worldwide despite two years of terrorism, war and disease. And China is the engine driving it, according to the World Tourism Organization. International tourists numbers hit a record of 702 million last year, a rise of 2.7% over 2001, the year of the September 11 attacks. France

36、re mains the most popular destination, receiving more than 77 million visitors, followed by Spain, United States and Italy. China, however, marked a 11% growth over that period, attracting 36.8 million international visitors. It ranks 5th among leading tourism nations. By 2020, it will be top, with

37、predictions of 130 million visitors per year. Chinese themselves are also becoming a major force as travelers. According to a Xinhua report, over 16.6 million Chinese traveled abroad last year, up 37% from the previous year. Their numbers are expected to grow to 30 million by the end of the decade,

38、and 100 million in 2020. Questions 29 and 30 are based on the following news Around 44 military officers in Argentina have been arrested for possible extradition to Spain on human rights chargesThe arrest came as the Argentine government struck down the decree prohibiting such extradition，saying all

39、 Argentine should be equal before the lawThose detained included former navy captain and several other ex-officers suspected of torture or murder during the last period of military ruling in Argentina which ended in 1983 易错题型分析 SECTION A 1注意求职者用来表示评述性的形容词，他称他的文科科目为“strongest subjects”，其中历史是他的“best s

40、ubject”，而地理是他的“second best”，数学是他的“favorite subject”，而他的数学考试结果是quite reasonable，由此可见求职者是以一种委婉的方式表明数学并不是他最擅长的学科，应选C。另外，arts subjects指文科，而选项Dan对话中并未提及，不选D。 2从求职者所说And Ive been told that working with computers needs a logical mind rather than great skills in mathematics”以及他后来所说So l think my results show

41、 that I have some ability in logic and in mathematics as well”可以得出结论，他认为逻辑能力是工作中至关重要的一点，应选A。 3求职者明确表态他对计算机最感兴趣的是writing program，所以他想要从事的是程序员的工作。B为正确选项。 4从提问者的自我介绍“I work for an advertising agency and I am doing some researchIts for a new magazine for people like you”可以得知此次谈话的主要目的，因此正确选项为A。 5被问话者说，他从

42、不在周五外出，他总在这一天stay at home and watch television因此正确选项为D。 6被问话者在对话中明确说到他们夫妇经常在周六晚上外出，因此正确选项是B。 7在提问者的最后问题里虽然提及了对方的姓氏和工作等等，但她只问了第一个问题，因此正确选项是A。 8这是听力中常见的“细节排除题”，请注意区分所需的“寄件人”和“收件人”的信息，对于前者，需要对方的in voice address pickup address和contact number，invoice address(发货地址)自然包括寄件人姓名，因此正确答案是C。 9对话中已经提及，由于爆炸事件的发生，机场

43、要求快件公司进行安全检查，因此包裹交寄时不能封包，以便司机检查，应选B。 10这道题容易将选项A和B混淆起来，但从对话中问话者的原话How long will the parcel take to get to New York?可以看出，她询问的是包裹送到纽约所需的时间而不是飞机到纽约的飞行时间，因此正确选项为A。 SECTION B 11根据通告开头The train now standing at Platform 9 is the 10：48 train calling at all stations to Nanjing,可以得知开往南京的火车已改至9号站台，应选C。 12从通告中所

44、说“I repeat there will be a 15-minute delay for the Zhengzhou train on Platform 8It will now leave at 11：35，not 11：20”可知B为正确选项。 13从道歉声明里“We apologize to customers，but due to signal problems，the 11：28 train to Hangzhou from Plat form 15 has been cancelled”可知D为正确选项。 14本文前部分主要谈及博物馆的建立主旨和渊源，后部分主要介绍红十字会组织

45、的标识含义。从文章开头“It tells the story of men and women who in the course of the major events of the last 150 years have given assistance to victims of war and natural disasters”可以得出正确选项为B。 15文章提至到“.was based on the idea by a Swiss businessman called Henry DurantHe had witnessed the heavy casualties.”D中的see

46、n是对witness的同义改写，故为正确选项。 16原文中提到红十字作为国际红十字会的标志没有宗教含义，而只是为了向该组织发起人的祖国瑞士表示敬意(瑞士国旗为正方形红底白十字)。但当该协会在伊斯兰教社会开展活动时，为避免人们把它与基督教(历史上曾有十多次十字军东征，即与伊斯兰教开战)联系起来，该组织采用了红色新月标记。尽管这两种标记本身并无宗教色彩，但其使用还是与宗教环境有关，因此B为正确选项。 17原文中提到啦啦队有着丰富多样的表现形式，而且Cheerleaders have their own contests every year at lo cal，state and national

47、 levels，因此说它的表现形式主要是“欢呼”或“舞蹈”都不完整，只有D才为正确选项。 18从文中所说Cheerleading is not just about cheeringThey practice special shows，dances，and athletic shows可见B为正确选项。 19该问题问及啦啦队遭受身体伤害的原因，C是对原文的错误理解，而D和B并未被原文提及，只有选项A可以由文中所说的啦啦队队员所做的各种危险的运动性表演推断而出，因此应选A。 20，从文中“Cheerleaders have their own contests every year at lo

48、cal，state and national levels”可以得出B为不正确陈述。 SECTION C 21从新闻里第一句话The bodies of dozens of African emigrants discovered off the Italian coast last week might have been thrown overboard”可以得出正确选项为D。 22新闻的第一句话直接提到了African emigrants，第三句话又提到：“A coast guard spokesman said 15 illegal emigrants，all believed to

49、come from Somalia，”所以正确选项为B。 23新闻的主要内容通常在第一句提出，开篇“China has set aside on putting 3 people into space for a week”告诉我们正确选项为B。注意选项A指的是一星期内将3人送上太空，故不正确。 24排除新闻中已提及事实，只有D未被提及，因此应选D。 25从新闻中Authority said they were seeking two men in connection with the fires，which they believed were started deliberately可以

50、看出purpose fully是原文“deliberately的重述，故A为正确选项。 26根据新闻里所说France remains the most popular destination，receiving more than 77 million visitors，followed by spain，United States and Italy”可知C为正确选项。 27根据新闻中所说By 2020，it will be top，with predictions of 130 million visitors per year,可知B为正确选项，注意不要将该答案与文中后来所提及的去境外

51、旅行的中国游客人数混淆。 28根据新闻里的最后一句话According to a Xinhua report，over 16.6 million Chinese traveled abroad last year， up 37% from the previous year”可知D为正确选项。 29这道题的关键是对extradition(引渡)一词的理解，因此应选C。 30这道题的关键是新闻第一句话的最后部分“on human rights charges”据此，应选A。 PART CLOZE Keys：3135 ADBDA 3640 CCCBD 4145 BACAC 4650 BDACB 参

52、考译文 一个人的家就像他穿的衣服、吃的食物和交往的朋友一样反映出他的个性。受性格影响，大多数人心目中都拥有自己的“理想家庭”。不过一般来说，特别是对学生或是那些刚参加工作的人而言，实现这一理想要受到经济和地理位置的实际限制。 事实上，缺钱通常意味着你离开学校后惟一的出路就是先在家里住上一段时间直到经济状况有所好转。住在家里有明显的好处个人要洗的衣物常常习惯性地同家人的衣物一起洗；饭菜有人提供，还有固定的朋友圈可以拜访。而且你很少有责任支付各种账单费用。 另一方面，许多事情却要取决于你与家人相处的情况。你的父母喜欢你的朋友吗?你可能爱你的家人，但你喜欢他们吗?你愿意容忍你的父母盘问你晚上要去哪以

53、及什么时候回来吗?如果你发现和家人无法妥协，而你终于有钱搬出去住了，你如何着手寻找其他住处呢? 如果你打算待在本地，很可能你已经了解到各种房源机会了，因为朋友和当地报纸总是不错的信息来源。如果你要去一个陌生的地方工作，你仍然可以找到报纸，还有房屋中介，只不过要多加小心。如果你通过中介找到了住处，就需要交中介费，它一般相当于第一周的租金。 31精解考查句子层面形容词的含义。本句侧重个性与家庭的联系。不同个性的人对家会有不同的理想。而 ideal正好表示“理想的”，并且这种“理想”同下文中的practical limitation“实际限制”构成对比关系，意义前后呼应，故A为正确选项。其他三个选项

54、虽然都可以和home搭配，但“家”是否是perfect“完美的”、imaginary“想像的，虚构的”或者satisfactory“令人满意的”都与“个性”关系不大，与“实际限制”也没有形成冲突，因此不符合句意。 32精解考查词语搭配。limitations of cash and location表示“经济和地理位置的限制”。而Adeficiencies“缺乏”和Cinsufficiencies“不足”虽然可以接cash，但不能与location搭配，故不选。weakness表示“缺点、弱点”，一般指人不指物，例如：Spending too much money is her weaknes

55、s(花钱大手大脚是她的弱点。) 33精解考查近义词的用法和意义区别。本句讲缺钱的后果，cash shortage意为“缺钱”，因此选项B是正确答案。类似的表达还有shortage of cash，be short of cash，be lack of cash等等。lack作名词时，只能说 lack of sth；所以C不正确。此外，cash cut表示“削减资金”，cash drain表示“资金耗尽”，都不够贴合句意。 34精解考查词组意义辨析。本句是讲“缺钱的话，离校后只有住在家里，生活才能凑合过去。”Dget along表示“对付，应付过去”，例如：I simply cant get a

56、long without a secretary(没有秘书我简直寸步难行。)因此选项D为正确答案。A. get over表示“克服，恢复”，后面必须带宾语；Bget in表示“到达，进入”， 例如：What time does your fright get in?(你乘坐的班机什么时候到?)The Tory candidate stands a good chance of getting in(英国保守党候选人很有可能当选。)而Cget back表示“返回”；都不符合句意。 35精解考查句子层面动词的含义。这一句的意思是“直到经济状况好转”。只有improve表达“好转，改善”的意思，所以

57、选A。Benhance表示“增强，提高，美化”，为及物动词，例如：Passing the English examination should enhance your chances Of getting the post(通过了英语考试应该会增加你获得这个职位的机会。)Cdevelop“发展”和Dproceed“进行，继续下去”，都没有“变好”的意思。 36精解考查篇章分析能力。从后面的内容可以看出这一句是讲“住在家里的好处”。因此很明显选Cad vantages，而不是意思完全相反的Dproblems，或是不相关的A. concerns和Bissues。 37精解考查句子层面副词的含义。

58、常识告诉我们，衣物不分彼此一起洗是家里常规的做法，选项Chabitually准确地点出了其原因所在是“习惯使然”，这样，整句的意思就非常清楚了：“大家的衣物常常习惯性地放在一起洗，这样就省去了自己洗衣的麻烦。”所以C是正确答案。Dconsequently“因此，所以”表示因果关系，但联系上下文并不存在这种联系，因此不正确。A. still“仍然”强调某种以前的状况一直持续存在，而文中讲的是搬回家里住的新情况，显然不合适。B. always与句中usually意思重复。 38精解考查词组意义辨析。根据句意，这里要填“拜访”的意思。虽然人call in和C. call upon都有“拜访”的意思，

59、但call in后面不能直接跟宾语，“拜访某人/某地”必须是call in on sb/call in at someplace，例如：Lets call in on John(咱们去拜访约翰吧。)Will you call in at the supermarket for some eggs and milk?(你顺便去超市买些鸡蛋和牛奶好吗?)而call on/upon却可以直接跟宾语，例如： Several friends called on/upon us(几个朋友来看望我们。)本句中的“拜访”有隐含的宾语：“a well established circle of friends”

60、，所以只有选C. call upon，句子结构才正确。Dcall over“点名，顺序读出”和Dcall out“大声叫唤”明显与句意不合。 39精解考查篇章分析能力。根据上下文可知，这一句仍然是讲住在家里的好处：“几乎没有什么支付费用的责任”，因此这里应该选表示“几乎没有，很少”等意义的副词。Brarely和Clittle都有否定意义，但 little作为限定词修饰名词时，名词前的定冠词the必须去掉，即只能说there is little responsibility，所以C不能选，B是正确答案。A. always和Dsometimes与句意相去甚远，故不选。 40精解考查句子层面代词的含

61、义。我们可以用排除法找到正确答案。首先，谓语depends的单数形式决定了主语一定是单数，排除掉Cmany；其次，本句要表达的意思是“你与家人相处如何很重要，许多事情都取决于此”，填入的应该是正面、肯定的词，排除掉否定词A. little；最后，比较选项Benough和D much：much泛指不确定的许多，例如：There is much to be learned(还有许多事情需要了解。)与句意吻合，因此是正确答案。而enough特指已有的、足够多的事物，例如：Enough has been said on this topic(关于这个话题说得已够多的了。) 41精解考查篇章分析能力。从

62、句意看，你可能爱你的家人，但你不一定喜欢他们的行为方式，因此这里是一个转折，B. but是正确选项。 42精解考查句子层面形容词的含义。这道题的关键是要理解prepared的意思，在此处意为“愿意”，常后接动词不定式to do，所选的应该是具体情景下的行为反应，而所有选项中A. tolerant的动作性最强，意思是“你愿意容忍父母的盘问吗?”因此是正确答案。而D. good-tempered指一个人的习性，表达的是一般性或习惯性的情况，用在prepared后面不恰当；Dhostile“敌对的”和C. indifferent“漠不关心的”都不符合句意。 43精解考查近义词的意义区别。虽然这四个选

63、项都有“协商一致”的意思，但具体到家庭成员中，更多的是彼此做出妥协、让步，如果无法妥协，就只能搬出去住了。因此这里应选C. compromise。A. agreement指“意见统一”时为不可数名词，因此不能用于此处；Bconsensus“大家一致同意的意见，普遍共识”，例如：The voters consensus was that the measure should be adopted(选民们一致同意采取这个措施。) Ddeal“互惠互利的交易、协议”，例如：Lets make a deal(我们来订个协议。) 44精解考查词组意义辨析。这一句要表达的意思是“你如何着手寻找其他住处?”Ago about正是“着手做，开始做”的含义，故为正确答案，例如：How should l go about finding a job?(我应该怎样着手找工作?)而B. go over表示“检查，复习”；C. go in for表示“参加，从事”，例如：Which event i8 he going in for at the Olympics? (他将在奥运会上参加什么项目?)Have you ever thought of going in for teaching?(你曾想到过从事教书工作吗?)D. go throu
