Part I1 Reading Comprehension (40 % )
Directions : There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or un-finished statements. For each of them there are 4 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.
Passage 1
Though it is mere 1 to 3 percent of the population, the upper class possesses at least 25 percent of the nation's wealth. This class has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the up-per-upper class is the "old rich"--families that have been wealthy for several generations--an aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable members of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rockefellers, Roosevelts, and Vander-bilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand seclusion (深居简出), drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower-upper class is the" new rich". Although they may be wealthier than some of the old rich ; the new rich have hustled ( 急,于做) to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to make their money, and who tend to look down upon the new rich.
However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rate books, painting, and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind--all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called
the out-of-sight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members of aclass. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad, as they hold many top government positions, run the Council on Foreign Relations, and control multinational corporations. The actions affect the lives of millions.
16. All the following statements are true EXCEPT that__________.
A. the upper-upper class is of aristocratic origin
B. the "old rich" enjoy higher prestige than the "new rich"
C. the "old rich" isolate themselves and lead a lonely life

A. the former are wealthier than the later
B. the later sweat themselves to make money
C. the "new rich" have no interest in arts
D. the "old rich" are conscious of being members of the upper class
19. The upper class is also called the out-of-sight class because__________.
A. they keep away from the general public
B. they spend most of their time abroad
C. they don't communicate with any people

A. the upper class is powerful and influential
B. the upper class collects rare books to make money
C. the upper class holds all top government positions
D. the "old rich" makes much more money than the "new rich"
Passage 2
What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From there of a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.

Passage 3
Twenty-six years ago, Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economics teacher, was visiting a vil-lage when he met a woman who made bamboo baskets. She couldn't afford to buy the bamboo to makethe baskets, so she had to borrow the money from the bamboo sellers and then pay them a large part ofthe profit from each one she sold. There was so little money left for her to keep that she couldn't affordto buy more bamboo, so she had to borrow more money. And so the cycle continued with no way outfor her.
She couldn't borrow money from friends or family because they were as poor as she was. Shecouldn't borrow from the bank because she had no land to guarantee that she would pay back the loan.Yunus went around the village and found 41 people who were in the same position--trapped in a cycleof poverty with no escape. When he added up the amount of money that they needed to break free fromthe cycle, it came out to just twenty seven dollars. As Yunus says, -- I felt ashamed of myself for be-ing part of a society which could not provide even 27 dollars for 41 hard-working, skilled human be-ings.
He lent them the money and told them to pay it back whenever they could. He got all of it back, so he went to other villages and did the same thing. He always got his money back. The official banks didn't want to get involved in what he was doing, so Yunus started his own bank. The Grameen bank was born, and with it there is a new approach to lending money -- micro-credit.
The bank now lends over a billion dollars to more than two million borrowers,96% of them women, and involving more than half of the villages in Bangladesh. The repayment is 99%. The rural economy of the country has improved greatly since the bank started. And the success has spread. This year it was estimated that there are now over 7,000 micro-credit organizations in the world, lending to over 16 million of the poorest people.
26. The women couldn't find a way out of the cycle of poverty because__________.
A. she was not hardworking enough
B. she couldn't borrow enough money
C. she was exploited by the bamboo seller too much
D. the profit of selling the baskets was little
27. The underlined word" it" in Paragraph 3 refers to__________.
A. Grameen bank
B. a new approach
C. micro-credit
D. the money
28. It can be inferred from the passage that__________.

19.A 【解析】他们远离公众。从第二段可知,他们住在专门的地区,出入专门的俱乐部,只是相互之间交流,只与自己同类的人结婚。他们远离大众,因此被称为看不见的阶层。 B,他们大多数时间在国外;C,他们不和任何人交流;D,他们经常从一个地方搬到另一个地方。

Passage 3
26.C 【解析】细节推理题。(为什么这位妇女总是不能摆脱贫困?)第一段描述到这位妇女自己没钱买材料做竹篮,只好向卖竹子的人借钱,但“…then pay them a large part ofthe profit from each one she sold.There was so little money left for her…”,即她的劳动成果大多被卖竹子的人所占有,所以她还是很贫穷,这样选项C(由于她被卖竹子的商人剥削得太多)是正确答案。选项A(她不太勤 劳)、B(她不能借到足够多的钱)、D(竹篮的利润太低)都不符合原文意思。
27.A【解析】语义指代题。(第三段中的代词“it”指的是什么?)这道题主要考查对原句的理解。原句后半部分其实是一个省略的there be分句:ne Grameen bank was born,and with it there is a new approach to lending money一“micr0—credit”.前后分句是因果关系,而且“with it”介词短语也充当句子原因,所以“it”只能是前一原因分句中的“The Grameen bank”。
28.D 【解析】细节推理题。(从文中我们可以推断出什么?)选择A(这位妇女只有向朋友借钱才能摆脱贫困)与第一段“She couldn’t borrow money from friends or family because they were as poor as she was.”不相符;选项C(这个新兴银行可以收回所有贷款)与最后段“The repayment rate is 99%.”不相符。依据原文第二段最后句“As yours says,‘I felt ashamed of my seff for being part of a society which could not...”’,可以推断选项B(youn us愿贷款给他们,因为他发现可从他们那挣得大部分利润)也是错误的,而选项D(Yunus觉得自己有责任帮助这41人摆脱贫困)是正确的。
29.C【解析】细节推理题。(谁是Grameen银行的最大受益者?)根据最后段“involving more than half of the villages in Bangladesh...The rural economy of the country has improved greatly since the bank started.”可以得知:最大受益者应该是农村经济大好形势下的村民们,所以选项C(村民们)是正确答案。
30.B【解析】主旨大意题(本文的最佳标题是什么?)本文通过经济学教师Yunus一次特殊的经历,揭示了农村一种特殊的经济现象,随之诞生 的是Grameen银行及新的贷款制度。作者行文的目的是说明Grameen银行及微贷款制度是怎样诞生的,所以最能概括作者意图的是选项B,而其他选项 过于肤浅或笼统。
Passage 4
31.C【解析】推理题。根据第一段前两句Close your eyes for a minutes and imagine…not with your eyes but with your fingertips.闭上眼睛想象一下少了100美元并没有什么,但是想象一下如果我们在余生里都看不见,不是用眼睛看这篇文章,而是用手指来阅读。作 者通过第一段把读者的注意力吸引到盲人的身上。故选c。
32.C 【解析】推理题。根据第一段最后两句With existing medical knowledge and skills…while developing counties do not.可知发达国家的技术更先进,能够给盲人带来更多的帮助,但是发展中国家并没有这样的技术,说明技术的分布并不公平。故选c。
33.B【解析】细节题。根据文章第三段前两句0RBIS tries to help developing countries by…continue to cure tens of thousands of blind people every year.得知ORBIS医学培训计划帮助发展中国家培养了很多治疗眼睛疾病的医生,然后这些医生再去帮助那些需要帮助的盲人。故选B。
34.A【解析】推理题。根据最后一段前两句For just US$38,you can help one person see…make thousands of blind people see again.作者在呼吁我们为这个项目捐款,因为捐款可以帮助更多盲人重新看见光明。
35.C【解析】主旨大意题。本文在第一段里很巧妙地通过一个闭眼实验把我们的注意力吸引到盲人身上。接下来通过讲述ORBIS给盲人所做的工 作来宣传ORBIS。最后号召我们为ORBIS捐款来帮助更多的盲人。所以本文实际上是介绍ORRIS Flying Hospital的。Part lll Vocabulary and Structure

39.B 【解析】本题考查副词用法。very和really一般修饰形容词,且意思不符,honest是形容词。speak是动词,须用副词修饰,所以选B。句意:说实话,我觉得写作很枯燥。

48.C 【解析】句意:他有两个孩子,这两个孩子都成了世界闻名的科学家。本句考查的是定语从句的用法。定语从句可由“代词(名词、数词)+介词+关系代词”结构 引导。先行词是two children,故关系代词用whom不用which。又none与aLll代指三人或三人以上, both代指两人,所以选C。
49.B【解析】句意:放假了,我们去农场帮助农民收割。本句考查的是分词短语的独立结构作状语。当分词短语的逻辑主语不是主句的主语时,要将 分词短语的逻辑主语放在分词短语的前面,这种主语通常是名词或代词。本句中,分词短语的逻辑主语不是主句主语 we,故不能选A。应在分词短语前加逻辑主语it,故选B。

57.A 【解析】词语搭配题。句意:这个孩子的高度还不足以打开冰箱的门。enough-词的位置题:enough修饰形容词时要放在形容词之后。其余各项的词序都是错误的。
58.A【解析】句法结构题。句意:你对这个问题似乎比原来更感兴趣了。定语从句 题:根据句中keener一词使用了比较级,故后面应该用比较连词t}lan与之呼应。这里than 引出的无主语句相当于as引出的非限定性定语从句。
59.A 【解析】词语搭配题。句意:表非常漂亮,但我付不起那么多钱。短语搭配题: that much意为“这么多”,名词性短语,可作宾语。very much意为“非常”,副词性短语,修饰 动词,不可做宾语。that money,不可直接跟在pay后作其宾语,those much搭配不当。
60.B 【解析】本题考查动词短语。be made up of“由……组成”;be made of“由……制 成(看得出原材料)”;be made from“由……制成(看不出原材料)”。句意为:生物由细胞组 成,细胞不会生长到原来大小的两倍。
61.A 【解析】词语搭配题。句意:我30年没见过她了,但一看到她就认出她来了。 moment一词的用法:t}le moment意为“一……就……”,作连词使用,相当于as soon as,可引 导时间状语从句;for the moment意为“目前,暂时”;at the moment意为“此刻,正当那时”;the moment后不接wheno

65.D 【解析】语法题。考查定语从句。根据句意,该定语从句中关系代词作定语,故 用whose引导。句意:这项调查是由史密斯教授主持的,其结果将很快会公开。注意:本句 中whose resuh the result of which。
66.C【解析】词义辨析题。restore“恢复、复原”;recover“康复、恢复”;resume“重新开 始”;reform“改革”。根据句意,答案为C。句意:音乐有规律地时而停止,一会儿后又再次 响起。

Part IV Cloze Test
76.B 【解析】0n the other hand是个副词词组,为固定搭配,表示“另一方面”。其他选项均不能与之搭配。
77.C【解析】这里是个省略句,完整句应该是“111e two studies,which was presented at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology in Florida,show…”。在这里,present必须用过去分词形式表被动;to present是不定式;presenting是现在分词表主动;presents作谓语。
78.D 【解析】influence表示“影响”的意思,通常用于have influence on;interrupt意思是“打断,中断,妨碍,插嘴等”;effect是名词,意思是“结果,效果”;affect的意思也是“影响”,但主要用于 影响身体健康,所以正确答案是D。

80.C【解析】base的意思是“基础”,但通常指实物基础,如房子的基础;based在这里是动词,不合语境;basic在这里是形容词,也不合语境;basis表“基础”,可用于表达抽象的东西,因此正确答案是C。
81.B 【解析】根据语境,我们知道Miller和他的同事是在给人放电影,因此选B(showed)。选项A(exhibited)的意思是“陈列,展出”;选 项C(illustrated)的意思是“说明”;选项D(displayed)的意思是“陈列,显示”。
82.D 【解析】这里选one是因为与前面“on七humorous”形成并列式;不能选A,但如果 A项前再加the就可以了,形成“0ne…the other”结构;选项B(second)和C(two)更不合题意。
83.A【解析】这里四个词皆作名词用。flow表“流量,流程”;vessel表“船,容器”;pres-sure表“压力”;function表“功能”。根据题意应选A。

Cell Phones
As is shown in the chart, cell phones are becoming increasingly popular within China. In1999, the number of cell phones in use was only 2 million, but in 2002, the number reaches 5 million. And in the year 2005, the number has suddenly soared to 9 million.
There are many factors contributing to this development. Firstly, a cell phone has no wires and can be carried everywhere easily. Secondly, a cell phone is something wonderful that we can have fun with news, games, music and chat through sending short messages. Thirdly, the drop in price and the simultaneous improvement in the functions have made it possible for an average per- son to make use of cell phones.
The wide use of cell phones has made them more and more indispensable in people's daily life. The many functions of the cell phone have made certain people reluctant to separate them- selves from their cell phone.
