2008年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语(安徽卷)精讲

2008年普通高校招生统一考试（安徽卷）

英语

第二部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)

第一节单项填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

例：It is generally considered unwise to give a child __________ he or she wants.

A．however B．whatever C．whichever D．whenever

答案是B

21．The two girls are getting on very well and share _______ with each other.

A．little B．much C．some D ．none

【答案与简析】B。本题考查四个代词用法区别。其中选项A. little和D. none具否定含义，与上文…getting on very well相矛盾，故应排除；选项C.some用作代词，意思是“少许；少数；若干；一些”；选项B. much用作代词，意思是“大量；大多”，根据题意，既然关系好，相互分享的东西就会很多。

【解题思路】解答本题的关键有二，其一，区别四个代词含义的不同；其二，联系上下文，关注语境。

（短语：getting on very well 相处得非常好

Share A with B 分享I want to share the room with you .）

22. -----Did you watch the basketball match yesterday?

-----Yes, I did. You know, my brother ________ in the match.

A. is playing

B. was playing

C. has played

D. had played

【答案与简析】B。本题考查动词时态。根据题意，该空表示在过去某段时间（yesterday）内正在进行的动作，意思是昨天我弟弟在正在参加比赛，因此，应用过去进行时。

【解题思路】过去进行时是历年高考时态考查重点。解答此类题目的关键是要把握进行时态的三个特点，即“临时性”、“未完成性”和“延续性”。又如：

(2007年四川卷)—Did you see a man in black pass by just now?

—No, sir. I ________ a newspaper.

A. read

B. was reading

C. would read

D. am reading

本题答案为B，同样表示在过去某段时间里正在进行的动作，具有进行时态的三个特点。

考点：动词时态。动词时态分为

23. Fred entered without knocking and, very out of breath, sank _______ a chair.

A. on

B. off

C.

into D. to

【答案与简析】C。本题考查动词与介词的搭配。“sink into sth”意思是“渗入，陷入，沉入；投入……”等意思，“sink into a chair”意思是“（一屁股）坐到椅子上”。其它搭配均不恰当。

【解题思路】sink into…是一个非常有用的搭配，可与很多名词连用，表示多种意思，如sink into one’s mind（教训等）铭记在某人心中，sink into the sea沉入海中，sink into a deep sleep沉睡。

24. To save some of the human languages before they are forgotten, the students in our school started a discussion “Save Our ________”

A. Sky

B. Life

C. Arts

D. Voices

【答案与简析】D。本题考查四个名词在上下文中的含义区别。四个选项填入该空中，分别可以译作“拯救天空”、“拯救生命”、“拯救艺术”、“拯救（濒临消失的）语言”（Preserving endangered languages）。根据上文，讨论的话题应该是“拯救（濒临消失的）语言”。

【解题思路】准确理解Save Our Voices和上文的题意是答好本题的关键。

25. -----I have some big news for yo u. You’ve been accepted as a member of our club.

-----_______ That’s great!

A. Have I ?

B. Pardon?

C.

Congratulations! D. Good idea!

【答案与简析】A。本题考查语言的交际功能。选项A.Have I?是Have I been accepted as a member of our club?的省略。在有清晰的上下文的情况下，口语中尽量使用简洁的表达。选项B.Pardon?用于请求别人重复说过的话；选项C.Congratulations!用于祝贺别人取得的成绩；选项D.Good idea!用于对别人的建议表示赞同。

【解题思路】准确把握语言在真实的交际环境中使用的得体性是解决此类问题的关键。26. All the neighbors admire this family, _________the parents are treating their child like a friend.

A. why

B. where

C.

which D. that

【答案与简析】B。本题考查定语从句。该空中需用关系副词，在从句中作地点状语从句修饰先行词this family，；选项A.why作关系副词只能修饰先行词the reason；选项C和D 是关系代词，不合题意。

【解题思路】判断定语从句的引导词是用关系代词还是关系副词，可以看从句的句子结构，如果是结构完整的句子，则用关系副词词，否则用关系代词。

知识点：定语从句：

27.----- Hi, Mark. How was the musical evening?

----- Excellent! Ales and Andy performed _________ and they won the firs prize.

A. skillfully

B. commonly

C.

willingly D. nervously

【答案与简析】A。本题考查副词。四个副词的意思分别是skillfully, 技术好地，娴熟地；commonly 一般,普通,通常；willingly自动地,欣然地；nervously 焦急地。上文问音乐晚会怎么样？回答是非常好，自然Ales和Andy是娴熟地（skillfully）表演并获得第一名。【解题思路】考查单词用法的不同，不能单从词义上考虑，更主要地是考虑到上下文的行文逻辑。

28. -----Are you happy with your new computer?

----- No, it is _______ me a lot of trouble.

A. showing

B. leaving

C. giving

D. sparing

【答案与简析】C。本题考查动词与名词的搭配。名词trouble可以跟很多动词搭配，表示不同的含义，如：borrow trouble自找麻烦；cause trouble引起麻烦；make trouble制造麻烦；选项C. give sb troulbe意思是“给某人添麻烦”，选项D.spare sb further trouble不再麻烦某人。从题意看，我对新电脑并不满意，它给我添了很多麻烦。

【解题思路】trouble是一个搭配很灵活的名词，准备记忆每一个搭配的意思，是掌握trouble 用法的关键。

29. Students are always interested in finding out _______ they can go with a new teacher.

A. how far

B. how soon

C. how often

D. how long

【答案与简析】A。本题考查四个副词短语的区别。How far有两个用法，其一是用于对距离的提问；其二是询问到什么程度或范围；how soon表示多久以后；how often询问频率；how long询问多长时间。本题是说，学生们想知道他们与新来的教师会相处得如何，how far表示程度，修饰go with a new teacher。

【解题思路】注意四个近似副词短词之间用法的区别。

30._______ in the fields on a March afternoon, he could feel the warmth of spring.

A. To walk.

B. Walking

C.

Walked D. Having walked

【答案与简析】B。本题考查非谓语动词。选项B. Walking在这里是现在分词短语用状语，表示时间，相当于While he was walking in the fields on a March afternoon。选项A.To walk不定式放在句首一般作目的状语；选项C. Walked表示被动，此处句子主语he与动词walk之间是主动关系；选项D. Having walked是现在分词的完成式作状语，表示的动作发生在主句的谓语动词（feel the warmth of spring）之前，显然不合题意。

【解题思路】非谓语动词的用法是高考的必考考点，准确掌握不定式，现在分词和过去分词作状语的不同含义是答好本题的关键。

31. -----Do you have a minute? I’ve got something to tell you.

-----Ok, ______ you make it short.

A. now that

B. if only

C. so long

as D. every time

【答案与简析】C。本题考查引导状语从句的连接词。四个连接词的词义分别是now that既然；if only要是……多好；so long as 只要；every time每次，每当。题意为“—你有一会空吗？我有点事告诉你。—可以，只要简而言之。”

【解题思路】now that表示原因；if only后一般跟虚拟语气，表示一种愿望；so long as 表示条件；every time表示时间。

32. -----Have you got any particular plans for the coming holiday?

----- Yes. _______, I’m going to visit some homes for the old in the city.

A. If ever

B. If busy

C. If anything

D. If possible

【答案与简析】D。本题考查四个句型结构。If ever如果有过的话(如果发生过的话)，例如She seldom, if ever, goes to the cinema. 她难得看电影. If busy根据题意，是If I am busy的省略，与下文语意矛盾；If anything 意思是“更可能的是，总之”，例如Joe isn’t a bad boy. If anything,he’s a pretty good one. 乔不是一个坏男孩，总之，他是一个非常好的男孩；if possible如果可能的话。题意为“如果可能的话，我将去城里的一些老年之家看看。”

【解题思路】这四个选项都是相应的状语从句省略而来，其中if ever, if anything, if possible已经成为固定的结构，需要我们在平时的学习中了解其用法。

33. I like these English songs and they ________many times on the radio.

A. taught

B. have taught

C. are

taught D. have been taught

【答案与简析】D。本题考查动词时态和语态。选项D用现在完成时，表示某一动作从过去到现在一直进行或反复发生。题干中前半部动词like用的是现在时，表示与现在有关的动作，后半部分的时间状语many times表示某个动作反复发生，因此，该空应用现在完成时。【解题思路】此类题目可以用排除法，先排除A和B，因为这两个选项用的是主动语态，不合题意；再从时态方面考虑。

34. -----Good evening. Huangshan Hotel.

-----Good evening. ______________?

A. Do you still have a room for tonight

B. What would you like, please

C. Is there anything I can do for you

D. Who is that speaking, please

早上好，这里是黄山旅馆

早上好，＿＿？

【答案与简析】A。本题考查语言的交际功能。从题意看，对话的双方分别是旅馆的服务员和顾客。四个选项中，只有选项A的交际功能才符合顾客的身份。

【解题思路】本题题干中Huangshan Hotel是解题的关键，从中看出对话双方的身份，从而容易理解对话内容。

35. Don’t be so discouraged. If you ________such feelings, you will do better next time.

A. carry on

B. get back

C. break down

D. put away

不要这么垂头丧气。如果你＿＿这种情绪，下次你就会做得比这次好了。

【答案与简析】D。本题考查四个短语动词。carry on继续；get back返回(取回,收回，报复)；break down破坏；损坏；put away：收起来/放好/“打消，放弃，抛弃”。题意为“如果你放弃这种情绪，你下次会做得更好。”

【解题思路】此题不涉及语法，是词义辨析。此类题目的四个选项在词义上本身联系不大，做题的关键是理解上下。

第二节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book 36 hand. Of course, we may 37 with our guide-books the history and 38 developments of a town and get to know them. 39 then, if we take out time and 40 in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we 41 it as a whole, we begin to have some 42 ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 43 this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets 44 in this particular way, and not in any 45 why?

Here even the best guide-book 46 us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the 47 appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的) 48 of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it 49 look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine 50 the town was first planned and built . Then one can learn more about in what direction the town 51 to develop.

What is the 52 of studying towns in the way? For me, it is 53 that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A 54 visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive 55 just reading about it in a guide-book. 36．A．in B．at C．by D．on

37．A．write B．study C．tell D．remember 38．A．strange B．similar C．separate D．special

39．A．But B．Before C．Since D．Until 40．A．march B．work C．stay D．wail

41．A．look at B．look after C．look for D．look up 42．A．ideas B．opinions C．feelings D．questions

43．A．of B．for C．like D．as

44．A．open B．run C．begin D．move

45．A．one B．more C．other D．such

36. A。guide-book in hand是独立主格结构，作状语，表示方式。

37. B。了解一座城市的方式很多，其中之一就是环城徒步旅行，当然，我们还可以借助guide-book来研究（study）其历史和特有的（special）的发展并了解他们。我们不能借助导游手册来写（write）其历史，也不需要讲述（tell）和记忆（remember）其历史。

38. D。special是指这个城市所特有的。

39. A。上文讲我们可以借助导游手册研究其历史和发展，下文讲如果我们从容一点，在一个城市小住几天，则对其了解更多。此间有转折的意思。

40. C。

41. A。look at 在本题中有“考虑，判断”的意思，look at …as a whole意思是“从整体上看”。

42. D。下文有动词answer，此处是先行词，在定语从句中用answer的宾语，只有questions 才能构成动宾关系。

43. C。介词like意思是“像”。

44. B。run在这里意思是“延伸；延续；继续”（stretch）。例如：The road runs along the river bank. 这条路沿着河边一直延伸。

45. C。in any other way以其它方式

46. C。fail在这里的意思是“使……失望”。从上下文看出，导游手册也不能回答以上这些问题。

47. D。present adj 现在的，当前的。

48. C。the original design of a town一座城市最初的设计。

49. A。what it used to look like 城市过去的样子，与上文the original design of a town 相响应。

50. B。选项A是疑问代词，用在此处语法结构错误；选项C和D分别指这座城市首次建造的时间和地点，与上文the original design of a town和what it used to look like没有联系；选项B表示这座城市设计建造的方式。

51. D。与上句一致，意思是人们还能更多地了解这座城市未来继续发展方向。

52. A。point在本句的意思是“用途，目的”。Begin your work now. There’s no point in wasting time. 现在就开始你的工作吧，耗时间没用。

53. B。nearly几乎；generally一般地；hardly几乎不，都不符合题意。simply仅仅，只是。作者以这种方式去了解一座城市的原因很简单，仅仅是通过亲眼去看，去感受一个人就能更获得更大的快乐。

54. D。personal亲自的，亲身的，与上一句里的visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes意思相一致。

55. B。前面有比较级better，这里当然用介词than。

第三部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too.

当我还是小孩子的时候，我通常梦想着我能够离开家，离开这个城市的时候的到来。我们家住在农场，尤其一到冬天，我们就与世隔绝。我一毕业，就背着行囊去了首都（As soon as……，一….，就…..一放学他就去打篮球）但很快我就发现我的生活同样发生了问题（本段讲我急于离开家，但是最后一句是呈上起下的一句话）

One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

一个大的问题就是钱，参加社交活动总是花很多钱，更不用说（not to mention）一些基本的费用比如吃住的费用.；另一个就是污染，我得了（suffer from，患，遭受…痛苦）哮喘,那里的空气是如此的糟糕因此我很害怕外出.而且还有外出交通的问题。尽管我有一台车，我很少用它（seldom和little的用法相似，）因为经常堵车（became of和because的区别），有一个替代是骑车出去，但是太危险（本段讲在城市生活的问题，主题句是上文最后一句）Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of

moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising --- and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

当然也有很多好处，首先，在城市里有很多事情可以做，不管是体验文化还是娱乐活动。还有（Besides是除此之外还有，比如说，包括，而except,的除去是不包括除去的内容，举中午几个人出去吃饭的例子）在城市里有很多好的工作，更换到一个更重要的工作或者位置的机会也更多。最后，如果你喜欢购物，种类繁多的商品也是令人吃惊的（surprising和surprised 的区别，还有兴趣interesting,exciting amazing等等。）更有甚者，商店经常走几步就到了（本段写城市生活的好处，和上段做出对比）

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

在城市里生活更好些吗？也许是的，当你十几岁或者二十多的时候，但是，当你越来越老，尤其是如果你有了小孩，乡下的地方看起来会更好点，我真的想尽快的搬回去（针对二三段总结一下子，那个地方好要具体问题具体分析）（本文主要是讲作者对城市生活的看法，并且也附带讲了不同时候对居住地的选择）

56. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?C 细节题，第一段第一句就是

A. Staying on the farm.

B. Moving to the countryside.

C. Leaving home for the city.

D. Running away from the school.

57. Which of the following is true about the writer?细节题，D

A. He is very old now. （最后一段是说当你得更大或者说当有小孩的时候，而不是说作者现在非常的老，）

B. He is in good health.

C. He prefers driving a car.

D. He lives in the city now.（最后一句话，作者说想搬回农村）

58. In the passage, the writer tries to __________.全文把握题，A

A. express his opinions about way of life

B. describe his life in the countryside（本文主要是写城市生活。涉及到描写农村生活的就第一段一句话，和最后一段最后几句）

C. an interest in the outside world

（作者发现城市生活也有缺点，并且文章最后表明作者想回到农村，因此表明作者对外面的兴趣不是一直存在的）

D. persuade the reader to live in the city（没有劝说，而应该是劝说读者根据具体情况而定。看最后一段）

59. How is the passage mainly developed?（这个文章是怎么写的，特殊题型B，通过对比，整篇文章都讲城市生活比农村生活如何如何）

A. By inferring.

B. By comparing.

C. By listing examples.

D. By giving explanations.

B

（碰到这种非常规题不要慌张，定下心来做，这种题和常规的题是一样的，甚至要比常规题简单。注意，不放过任何细节，尤其是正文下面的小字）

C

People believes that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(体育馆). Here, people are learning on climbing. The climbing wall goes straight up and small holding places for hands and feet.

人们认为攀登有助于健康（do good to），那里能学到登山的技巧呢？如果你认为你必须去山上学习如何攀登，那你就错了，很多美国人在城市的体育馆中学习如何攀登。攀登墙是垂直的，只有很小的用于手和脚的支撑处。（引出攀登墙的话题）

How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes(绳索)tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult is an your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.

（那么人们是如何攀登墙的呢，为了攀登，你需要特殊的鞋和环绕你胸部的保护带来保护你。有绳索会栓住你的保护带。绳索会拉住你这样的话你就不会掉下去了。初学者的墙通常是15英尺高，你要垂直的爬上去。有许多小块的金属突出（stick out，突出，伸出，）你就可以站在上面坚持。有时我们很容易就碰到新的金属块，有时却很难。最大的问题是你的恐惧。对于人类来说害怕摔下来是正常的，因此想做到不害怕是很难的。但是当你远离墙面时，绳索和保护带会拉住你，于是你开始觉得安全，你会慢慢的攀登一直到顶点。（本段介绍一下室内墙壁攀援）

Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.

攀登吸引人们是因为对于几乎每个人来说都是一种好的锻炼。你用你全身尤其是你的手臂

和腿。这项运动给你们的身体一个workout，当你攀登的时候，你的身体和脑瓜都变得强壮这篇文章介绍一下墙壁攀援，包括墙壁攀援如何进行，以及墙壁攀援的好处

64. What can we infer from the passage?全文题A

A. People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays.（fairly，相当，说的很委婉）

B. It is impossible to build up one’s body by climbing.（和文章相反）

C. People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.（绝对，而且和文章的意思相反，）

D. It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.（绝对

65. The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is _______.B 细节题，第二段原句是（The most difficult is an your fear）

A. to tie ropes to your harness

B. to control your fear

C. to move away from the wall

D. to climb straight up

66. The word “workout”underlined in the last paragraph most probably means _________.B (S上下文联系，前文说，攀援的时候你会使用全身，尤其是手和腿，这项运动能让你身体完全…，后面又说，当你攀援的时候，你的身心都会强壮，身体和心里素质只有被锻炼才能够更强壮)

A. settlement

B. exercise

C. excitement

D. tiredness

67. Why does the author write this passage? D全文题，弄清文章写什么

A. To tell people where to find gyms.

B. To prove the basic need for climbing

C. To encourage people to climb mountains. （第一段第二第三句）

D. introduce the sport of wall climbing

D

Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

有些人认为，当越来越多的人家里有电视之后，越来越少人会去买书和报纸。如果（WHEN 翻译成如果）电视新闻能几分钟之内播放附带图片的新闻，为什么还要去买报纸呢？（Bring sb sth=Bring sth to sb）如果一个短小的电视节目能够告诉你所有你想知道的，为什么还要去看一个名人的一生的故事呢？（本段：有些人的观点认为电视会取代书记报纸；注意：如何分辨作者的观点，当一篇文章在表达某种观点的时候如果出现Some people/one think，most people think…一般都不是作者所赞同的观点）

Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book forever and read it many times.

（但是，电视没有扼杀阅读。）报纸现在的发行量很大。而且各种书籍的销量都比以前多。书籍依然是获取信息和愉悦的廉价的途径。尽管某些硬皮书比较昂贵，现在很多书是平装本印刷，这样的书非常的便宜。比如说，平装版的故事集（collection of short stories），总是比晚上看电影或者看戏剧要便宜。而且你能够长时间的保存一本书，重复的阅读。（本段是作者的观点，电视并没有杀死书籍或者报纸）

Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books., science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

书是一个很好的知识或者愉悦的来源，有些风格的书应该是家庭必备的。每个家庭都应该有一本好字典。一本百科全书，尽管很贵，但是非常的有用。因为你能够在其中找出任何话题的信息。除此之外（Beside,和except的区别），你可以收藏这样的书比如历史书，科学书籍，烹饪书籍，以及故事集和诗集。然后，偶尔（from time to time）你可以从书架上拿出一本诗集，读你读你最喜欢的诗（本段告诉我们应该拥有什么样的诗集）此文将书籍和报纸并没有在电视的时代衰亡，并且告诉我们应该拥有什么样的书。

68. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.C 全文题

A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge（不是作者的观点，而是第一段的观点）

The small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan. “DINKS”，which means Double Income Kids(小孩).

由高生活成本和妇女社会地位改变引发的新生婴儿的低出生率，是亚洲最严重的问题之一，当人们谈论这些，你能听到一个由日本人发明的词：Double Income Kids（本段引出问题：婴儿低出生率）

In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3000,00 (though prices have fallen). For a flat with one bedrooms, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $900 a month. What’s more, if they want to have a child, the child’s education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5.000 a year. In such a situation, it’s difficult to afford children.

在亚洲的许多大城市，比如首尔，新加坡，以及东京，住房的花费是非常高的，一对想买房年轻夫妇也许要花费300万美元（尽管价格已经下降了）。比如一卧、一餐、一厨、一浴的公寓，月供900美元。更有甚者，如果他们有小孩的话，孩子的教育是非常昂贵的。比如，大部分的幼儿园收费在5000一年，在这种情况下，供养（afford，买得起，供养，重点单词）一个孩子是非常困难的（本段讲亚洲大城市的生活成本很高，由此引出抚养孩子的困难）The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.

想继续工作的已婚女性的数量越来越多因为他们喜欢他们的工作、但是。如果她们想要孩子的话，立刻就会面临严重的问题。尽管大部分的公司允许妇女离职一段时间去抚养小孩。但他们希望有孩子的妇女辞职，简言之，如果如果他们想正确的把孩子抚养大（bring up）父母就必须都工作，但是上对于母亲来说工作很难，实际上想继续工作的女人必须在孩子和继续工作之间做出选择（keep doing 继续做某事，keep sb from doing……阻止某人做某事）（女人的两难选择）

In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.（总而言之，亚洲政府必须尽快采取措施（take steps to）改善目前的状况）

72. What is the main problem being discussed in the passage?A

（全文题，这篇文章和亚洲婴儿低出生率，第一段引出亚洲婴儿低出生率的问题，第二段讲亚洲城市生活成本高导致抚养孩子很困难，第三段讲母亲在要工作或者孩子之间陷入两难境地）

A. The small number of newborn babies.

B. The changing social situation of women.

C. The high prices of houses and education.（本文是通过讲高生活成本和教育来说明在亚洲抚养婴儿的困难）

D. The necessary steps of Asian government.（本文只有在最后一段才说：亚洲政府需要采取必要的措施，但没有说亚洲政府到底要采取什么步骤来改善，D是说亚洲政府必须采取的措施）

73. According to the passage, which of the following is true?（细节题，找出四个选项在文章的出处）D

A. It is easy for a couple to afford a child in Asia.（颠倒是非）

B. The prices of in Asia are quite low now.（颠倒是非）

C. Fewer and fewer married women wan to have a job.（颠倒是非，第三段第一句）

D. The word “DINKS”appeared in an Asian country.

74. To buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten, how much will a couple pay each year?D（12×900＋5000）

A. $5,000

B. $5,900

C. $10,800

D. $15,800

75. The seems to believe that Asian governments should ________.（这道题相当于对最后一句话的理解，联系上下文，这里只能，地出生率是亚洲的问题，以下那个能解决地出生率的问题。ABD都不是政府的权限范围之内，利用常识判断C正好和目的相反，C

A. let women stay at home and have a baby

B. allow one of the parents to go out to work

C. care for the growing needs of women for jobs.（关注不断增长的女人寻找工作的需要，如果女人能轻易的找到工作的话，就不会陷入两难的境地。）

D. punish the companies that permit women to leave.（这里是允许女人辞职，潜在意思是员工主动提出的辞职，那么公司满足员工的要求是不应该受到惩罚的，）

One possible version

Dear David,

I’m glad that you’ve noticed our efforts directed towards environmental protection. Thank you for your concern.

As too much use of plastic bags has caused serious white pollution, our govenment encourages us to use environment-friendly shopping bags. These bags are made of a variety of material that can be easily treated when they become rubbish. Besides, they can be reused. More and more people in China have realized the advantages of such bags and started using them.

I believe that the wide use of these shopping bags can greatly improve our environment. This is one of the many steps we are taking to make our country an even cleaner place.

Yours,

Li Hua

A "dark horse "is one that shows unexpected racing speed and comes in first, 1 the experts said he had little chance of winning. In politics, an 2 candidate (候选人) for office who 3 a nomination(提名)or election is called a "dark horse". British Prime Minister Benjamin Disrael is believed to 4 the first to use the phrase. In his novel, "The Young Duke ", published in 1831, Disrael described a horse race and told how the two top choices fell 5 ,while "a dark horse "which had never been thought of rushing past the grandstand (看台)in a sweeping triumph. From racing to politics was a short step. As a political phrase, “dark horse ” 6 for the first time in the national Democratic Party congress of 1844. The "dark horse" was James Knox Polk who became the llth President of the United States. Polk had been the leader of the House of Representatives from 1835 to 1839. He had 7 been Governor of the state of Tennessee. But as a national leader, he was considered a political 8 . Nevertheless, he 9 won the Democratic nomination and was elected 10 .Martin Van Buren of New York, A former President, seemed sure of getting the nomination.

After the 1844 congress, the "dark horse "candidates became an established fact of national political life.

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

Part B Directions: Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about the importance of doing exercise. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one qf the statements (A to G)given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Patricia: I went by Inter-Rail this summer with a group of friends from university. I think it worked very well, although a few of them said they'd never do it again—I guess it wasn r t quite like they thought it was going to be~not as comfortable probably. We usually slept in hostels or on the train so we were completely exhausted but 1 think we had a great time. Next year V 11 see if 1 can perhaps visit fewer places and not get so worn out. Davis: I traveled about 6,000 kilometres in four weeks with a couple of friends from college. We spent weeks planning out the route and all the places we were intending to go to. Would I do it again? Well, f d have to think carefully about that but, on the whole the trip was good for me as I was the official translator, which was great as V m normally a bit shy of talking to people 1 don't know. On the last night of the holiday they treated me to a really expensive meal for helping them out. It was terrific! Jenise: Well, I guess I had a good time now when I look back on it, and I saw eight countries in four weeks. Everything went well but I think that from now on 1' 11 probably choose to do something else. I want to meet local people rather than just people who work for the train service ! I did get to know quite a few other English and American students and they were great but it didn* t do much for my French and Gennan. Nigel: I think it's definitely the best way of getting around Europe even though you have to spend money on the Inter-Rail ticket before you leave. I have a friend who hitch-hikes and he says that's the only way to travel because it's free and you see more interesting places. But I knew I could jump on a train wherever I wanted in the morning, while he would still be standing in the rain hoping for a lift. So all in all I think I got the better deal, especially as 1 could take the night train and save on hotel bills. Hawk: F vc done it quite a few times now and V m used to the kind of problems that arisc—likc having to sleep in a park because the train arrived too late for me to get a hotel bed, and trying to keep to a tight budget. The mistake people often make is to just get off at the tourist spots. Try getting off the train at the little villages, like I do. They1 re usually fascinating and the people are friendlier, too. Even if they don't understand your miserable attempt at their language they still smile and nod.

Every year, almost 2 million Americans are injured while they're 1 work. Every day, 240 are killed on the job. The 2 job is cutting down trees. Being a policeman is safer than many jobs, including driving a truck, collecting garbage and 3 airplanes. One of the safest jobs is being a librarian. The government inspects(检查) most factories and offices. 4 have to 5 fines if their factories or offices are unsafe. In California, employers often go to prison if one of their workers is 6 because a factory didn't 7 safety measures. But President Bush cut down the number of government inspectors 8 15 percent. Many people say working is less safe 9 . For women workers, the greatest danger so far is murder. Forty-- two percent of all 10 who die at work were killed. Many of them work 11 clerks in stores 12 they are by themselves at night. Experts say they can protect themselves by putting the cash desk in full 13 of the street. The numbers of deaths and accidents at work don't take into 14 people who become sick from 15 that they are exposed to at work. Doctors don't know if some chemicals cause illness. There are no government rules for many new chemicals. Inspectors say employers turn their backs on safety problems because they don't want to pay the bill for fixing them. They also say some workers don't want to complain about dangers because they may lose their jobs.
