28、 dont trust him.”为一独立单句，所以 A、D 项排除。因此 B 项为正确答案。2.Only in this way _ your writing.（分数：2.00）A.you can improveB.you will improveC.would you improveD.can you improve 解析：only 放在句首，所以句子要倒装。A 项和 B 项没有倒装，所以不适合。C 项的时态为过去时，不符合句子的意思。因此 D 项为正确答案。3.You have nothing to _ by refusing to listen to our advice.（分数：2.
29、00）A.gain B.graspC.seizeD.earn解析：句中“by refusing to listen to our advice”(拒绝听取我们的建议)暗示了对 A 项(获得；得到)的选择。4.After a few rounds of talks, both sides regarded the territory dispute_.（分数：2.00）A.being settledB.to be settledC.had settledD.as settled 解析：本题是说经过几轮交谈，双方认为领土争端问题已解决。B、D 两项属于“ regard sth. to be don
30、e”和“regard sth.as done”，这两种结构都成立，但前者属非正规用法，在正式考题中，当选 D 项。5.We are all for your proposal that the discussion_.（分数：2.00）A.be put off B.was put offC.should put offD.is to put off解析：本题空格处是说讨论应该被推迟。句中的 proposal 要求 that 从句中谓语部分用 should 加原形动词虚拟语气，should 可省略。首先排除 B、D 项。A、C 项的区别在于语态，put off 后须加宾语，句中空格后没有，故选择
31、动词的被动形式。6.I hope that youll be more careful in typing the letter. Dont _ anything.（分数：2.00）A.lackB.withdrawC.omit D.leak解析：本题空格处是说不要遗漏任何东西。C 项“omit 省略，遗漏”符合题意，如：Dont omit locking the door(别忘了锁门)。其他三项中，A 项 lack 意为“缺乏，缺少”， B 项 withdraw 意为“退出，撒出，收回，提取”，D 项 leak 意为“(房顶，管子)漏水，漏气”，都与题意不符。因此 C 项为正确答案。7.In
32、1914, an apparently insignificant event in a remote part of Eastern Europe_ Europe into a great war.（分数：2.00）A.insertedB.imposedC.pitchedD.plunged 解析：本题空格处是说使欧洲陷入一场大战。D 项 plunged 意为“使陷入”符合题意，如：plunge sb. into deep sorrow (使某人陷入深深的悲痛之中)。其他三项中，A 项 inserted 意为“插入，登载”，B项 imposed 意为“征(税等)，强加”，C 项 pitched
33、 意为“投，扔”，都与题意不符。因此 D 项为正确答案。8.I was _ the point of telephoning him when his letter arrived.（分数：2.00）A.toB.on C.atD.in解析：“on the point of doing sth.”是习惯用语，表示“正要做某事”。因此 B 项为正确答案。9.The pressure _ causes American to be energetic, but it also puts them under a constant emotional strain.（分数：2.00）A.to comp
34、ete B.competingC.to be competedD.having competed解析：本题空格处是说竞争的压力促使美国人充满活力。动词不定式作定语，不定式置于被修饰名词后结构，A、C 项的差别在于语态，compete 属不及物动词，不能构成被动形式。因此 A 项为正确答案。10.Your hair wants _. Youd better have it done tomorrow.（分数：2.00）A.cutB.to cutC.cutting D.being cut解析：本题空格处是说你的头发须要理一理了。“want+ doing”为一固定结构。有相似用法的词还有 need。
35、因此 C 项为正确答案。二、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)11.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be_.（分数：2.00）A.its power source B.its driving systemC.its monitoring systemD.its seating capacity解析：关键提示出现在第二段第二句，以及第三段开头，可得知须改进汽车的能量来源，C 项表示“汽车的监控系统”，有一定的干扰度，文章的第三段、第四段都谈到了这一问题。但该问题不是汽车本身须改
36、进的问题。12.In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is_.（分数：2.00）A.keep in the right laneB.wait to arrive at his destinationC.keep in constant touch with the computer centerD.inform the system of his destination by phone 解析：该题较简单。只须正确理解第五段第一行，B 项是在做完 D 项动作之后可以做的事。13.What provides auto
37、s with electric power in an automated highway system? _.（分数：2.00）A.A rail B.An engineC.A retractable armD.A computer controller解析：该题较简单。做题根据在第四段第二行。14.What is the authors main concern? _.（分数：2.00）A.How to render automobiles pollution-freeB.How to make smaller and safer automobilesC.How to solve the
38、problem of traffic jams D.How to develop an automated subway system解析：提示出现在第三段。第三段的大意为：不管它的能量来源是什么，汽车在将来仍将是城市交通拥挤的主要问题。一个被提出的解决这个问题的方法是自动化公路系统。文章随后两段探讨了建造自动化公路系统的技术问题以及建造该系统的诱人前景。许多粗心的考生会误选 D 项，主要是没有看清选项中 subway 一词。15.What is the authors attitude toward the future of autos? _.（分数：2.00）A.Enthusiastic
39、B.PessimisticC.Optimistic D.Cautious解析：文章第一段叙述了对汽车的两种截然不同的看法。根据提示词 however，以及下文作者叙述的内容，可以推断出作者对汽车的态度应该是乐观的，只是提出有许多方面要改进。16.One possible reason why women have better memories than men is that_.（分数：2.00）A.they have a wider range of interestsB.they are more reliant on the environmentC.they have an unus
40、ual power of focusing their attentionD.they are more interested in whats happening around them 解析：依据为第三段第三行起的内容。误选 B 项的主要是没有搞清楚 they 一词。这里指代 women，和原文中的 memory 不是同一概念。17.Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important? _.（分数：2.00）A.It helps us understand our memory system betterB.
41、It enables us to recall something from our memory C.It expands our memory capacity considerablyD.It slows down the process of losing our memory解析：解题依据为第二段第一、二行。18.What is the passage mainly about? _.（分数：2.00）A.The process of gradual memory lossB.The causes of absent-mindedness C.The impact of the en
42、vironment on memoryD.A way of encoding and recalling解析：主旨考题的解答需要考生恰当把握全文的内容，从而加以概括。答案提示有二：一是第一段第一行，第二行；二是第三段开头。19.What do we learn from the last paragraph? _.（分数：2.00）A.If we focus our attention on one thing, we might forget another B.Memory depends to a certain extent on the environmentC.Repetition
43、 helps improve our memoryD.If we keep forgetting things, wed better return to where we were解析：依据为最后一段第一行、第二行。B 项本身并不错，但这是文章第三段的内容。 D 项主要是条件有误。20.A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because_.（分数：2.00）A.it will easily get lostB.its not clear enough for you to readC.its out of your sigh
44、t D.it might get mixed up with other things解析：依据为第四段。误选 A、D 项的考生是脱离了文章想当然所致。误选 B 项的考生显然误解了原文的 clear 一词。21.What do we know about thatching as a craft? _.（分数：2.00）A.It is a collective activityB.It is practiced on farms all over EnglandC.It is quite different from what it used to beD.It is in most case
45、s handed down among family members 解析：依据第三段第一行可以确定 D 项与之意思吻合。22.People in developing countries also live under thatch because_.（分数：2.00）A.thatched cottages are a big tourist attractionB.thatched roof houses are the cheapest C.thatch is on effective defense against the heatD.they like thatched houses
46、 better than other buildings解析：依据文章第四段第四行始可以看出：发展中国家也有人居住在 thatched huts 里，是因为他们没钱建更好的房子，而他们使用的是 wild grasses 极为便宜。23.Which of the following remains a unique feature of the English countryside? _.（分数：2.00）A.Narrow streets lined with pink or white housesB.Rolling hills with pretty farm buildingsC.Cot
47、tages with thatched roofs D.Churches with cottages around them解析：根据第一段一至四行，该三行中最主要的中心词应该是 thatched cottages，在第 4 行作者进一步明确提出。24.We can learn from the passage that_.（分数：2.00）A.thatched cottages in England have been passed down from ancient timesB.thatching is a building craft first created by the Engl
48、ish peopleC.the English people have a special liking for thatched houses D.most thatched cottages in England are located on hillsides解析：本题最大干扰项为 A 项，依据文章第三段第一至二行该句的意思是说 thatching 的工艺自从中世纪以来变化甚小，即是说 thatching 工艺是从很久以前传下来的，而 A 项的主语“thatched cottage”，并不是一回事，故应排除。25.Thatched houses are still preferred because of_.（分数：2.00）A.their style and comfort B.their durabilityC.their easy maintenanceD.their cheap and ready-made materials解析：参见文章第三段第五行。26.If you have interest in this job, you can contact Hir
