7、 no one is certain why migration occurs, there are several theories. One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanc
8、ed in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers.Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but d
9、uring the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands(腺) in the birds bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by expo
10、sing birds to artificial periods of daylight.

15、om the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your b
16、rain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream.

43、answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.1 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本题为强调句的特殊疑问句形式。题意为“是谁上午打电话来了?“2 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 本题空格处是说如果这种鱼变得稀少。D 项“scarce 变得稀少“符合题意，如：Eggs are scarce and expensive this month(这个月鸡蛋又少又贵) 。其他三项中，A 项 minimum 意为“最小的“，B 项 short 意为“短的“ ，C 项 seldom 意为“很少“，都与题意不符。因此只有 D 项为
44、正确答案。3 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本题空格处是说冲突有时是有用的，因为它促使人们来检验他们的意见和行为的相对的价值。本题考查的是复合连词。从句中不缺任何成分，可先排除 A、B 项。根据句意应构成原因从句，不是表示目的，排除 D 项。因此 C 项为正确答案。4 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本题属于近义词用法。A 项意思为 “金融”；B 项意思为“资金”；C项意思为“贷款”；D 项意思为“债务”。本句话的大意为从银行贷款买房子。5 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本句应该选择肯定词，A 和 B 项为否定词所以错误。 “something of a musician”意思为 “有音乐家的气
45、质。”6 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 primarily 意为“ 主要地，基本地“，本句意为“钢铁主要是由铁和碳合成的一种合金“。tradition ally 意为“传统地“；carefully 意为“ 小心地，认真地“；partially 意为“ 部分地 “。7 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 本句的考点是虚拟语气。当条件句的时态是过去式时，主句的时态应该为 would 再加动词原形。本句中 were 与 would prefer 相对应，所以应该选C。注意：suggest 由于其主语不是某人，所以它的意思不是“建议“，不能用后面的宾语从句跟动词原形的形式。suggest 在本句的意思为：“
46、表明、显示“ 。8 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 rather than=and not(而非)，在此句中用法正确。9 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本题考查动词的非谓语形式在句中的作用。只有 A 项的过去分词，含有被动的意思，为本题的正确答案。 10 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本题的考点是英语的独立结构句式。应该看到，句中的标点符号为逗号，前后只能有一个主句。由于后面的句子是主句，所以前半句话不能再使用谓语动词形式使其成为另一个句子。如果用句号，B 和 D 项都对；C 项的时态也有错误。 二、Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this
47、 part there are four passages, each followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.11 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 本题考查对文中细节的理解，题干里的 the glaciers
48、 disappeared 是关键词语，依据是首段最后一句中的 the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers。12 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 本题依据是第二段前两句，关键词语是 overpopulated，意思是“数量过多“。13 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 本题依据是第三段首句，关键部分是 a relationship between increasing daylight and.may prepare them for migration。14 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 本题解答依据在
49、最后一句 changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight，即“日照时间的季节性变化会造成鸟类身体生理变化“，由此推断白天不论长还是短的变化都可能引起鸟类体内变化。故 B 项 longer days cause changes in the bodies of birds 正确。15 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 本题考查应试者对作者态度的理解，文章客观地介绍了关于候鸟迁徙的观点，全篇除了首句 Although no one is certain why migration occurs.，其他地方并没有表露作者观点。所以只能从这儿得出结论：exact reasons for m
