Colleges Have Opened Their Doors Wider
Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)
Directions:In this part,you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7,mark
Y (for YES)if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;
N (for NO)if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;
NG (for NOT GIVEN)if the information is not given in the passage.
For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with information given in the passage.
Theft deterrent system
To deter the vehicle theft, the system is designed to give an alarm and keep the engine from being started if any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is forcibly unlocked or the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected when the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently and flashes the headlights, tail lights and other exterior lights. The engine cannot be started because the starter circuit will be cut.
SETTING THE SYSTEM
1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close and lock the front, sliding and back doors and hood.
The indicator light will come on when the front, sliding and back doors and hood are closed and locked.
As the front doors are locked, the system will give you a preparation time of 30 seconds before the setting, during which the front, sliding and back doors and hood may be opened to prepare for the setting.
Be careful not to use the key when opening either front door. This will cancel the system.
4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the vehicle.
The system will automatically be set after the preparation time elapses. The indicator light will flash to show the system is set. If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened at that time, the setting is interrupted until it is closed and locked.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system, because unlocking from the inside will activate (使起動) the system.
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SET
Activating the system
The system will give the alarm and cut the starter circuit under the following conditions:
If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is unlocked without using the key
If the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected
After one minute, the alarm will automatically stop with the starter circuit cut kept on.
Reactivating the alarm
Once set, the system automatically resets the alarm each time the front, sliding and back doors and hood are closed after the alarm stops.
The alarm will be activated again under the following conditions:
If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened
If the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected
Stopping the alarm
Turn the ignition key from the “LOCK” to “ACC” position. The alarm will be stopped with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stopping the alarm in this manner will keep the alarm from being reactivated when any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened.
Interrupting the setting
With the system set, the back door can be opened with the key without activating or canceling the system. While it is open, the front and sliding doors and hood may be opened in addition, and the system can be activated only by the battery terminal disconnection.
To resume the setting, close and lock the front, sliding and back doors and hood. The back door must be closed with the key removed.
CANCELLING THE SYSTEM
Unlock either front door with the key, or unlock the sliding door with the key when it has been closed. This cancels the system completely and the starter circuit cut will be cancelled at once.
INDICATOR LIGHT
The indicator light gives the following three indications when the system is in use. When the light is:
FLASHING—The system is set. You need the key to open the front, sliding and back doors and hood.
ON—The system will automatically be set when the time comes. The front, sliding and back doors and hood may be opened without a key.
OFF—The system is inactive. You may open any door and hood.
TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. Open the driver’s and front passenger’s windows.
2. Set the system as described above. The front doors should be locked with the key. Be sure to wait until the indicator light starts flashing.
3. Unlock one of the front, sliding and back doors from the inside. The system should activate the alarm.
4. Cancel the system by unlocking either front door with the key.
5. Repeat this operation for the other doors and hood. When testing on the hood, also check that the system is activated when the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected.
If the system does not work properly, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
There’s no question that the Earth is getting hotter. The real questions are: How much of the warming is our fault, and are we47 to slow the devastation by controlling our insatiable48 for fossil fuels?
Global warming can seem too49 to worry about, or too uncertain—something projected by the same computer50 that often can’t get next week’s weather right. On a raw winter day you might think that a few degrees of warming wouldn’t be such a bad thing anyway. And no doubt about it: Warnings about51 change can sound like an environmentalist scare tactic, meant to force us out of our cars and restrict our lifestyles.
Comforting thoughts, perhaps. Unfortunately, however, the Earth has some discomforting news.
From Alaska to the snowy peaks of the Andes the world is heating up right now, and fast. Globally, the52 is up 1°F over the past century, but some of the coldest, most remote spots have warmed much more. The results aren’t pretty. Ice is53 , rivers are running dry, and coasts are54 , threatening communities.

Section B
Directions:There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D) .You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
My father’s reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite: “You wont catch me putting my money in there!” he declared, “Not in that glass box!”
Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.
In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity(實物) that could be carried, or stolen. Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a buildings design made it appear impenetrable, the institution was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money.
But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit(赤字) economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disappearance of the heavywalled bank.
Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion(人們的說法) begins.
57. The main idea of this passage is that .
A) money is not as valuable as it was in the past
B) changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banks
C) the architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bank
D) prejudice makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable
58. How do the older generation and the younger one think about money?
A) The former thinks more of money than the latter.
B) The younger generation values money more than the older generation.
C) Both generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money.
D) To the former money is a real commodity but to the latter the means of producing more money.
59. The word “tangible” (Line 2, Para. 4 ) refers to something .
A) that is preciousB) that is usable
C) that can be touchedD) that can be reproduced
60. According to this passage, a modern banker should be .
A) ambitious and friendlyB) reliable and powerful
C) sensible and impenetrableD) imaginative and creative
61. It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s attitude towards the new trend in banking is .
A) cautiousB) regretfulC) positiveD) hostile
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyles husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a good—bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.
Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home—the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and selfconfidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. “It’s typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty.”
62. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle .
A) could not forgive him for taking the children
B) had been expecting it to happen for some time
C) could not understand why
D) blamed herself for what had happened
63. Most people who leave their families behind them .
A) do so without warningB) do so because of their debts
C) come back immediatelyD) change their names
64. Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse(配偶) because .
A) their spouse would feel no pain during the death
B) their spouse death would not blow their pride and confidence
C) a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure
D) their spouse death would make them feel less painful
65. The man or woman left behind with an unfinished marriage usually .
A) admits responsibility for the situationB) wishes the person who has left were dead
C) comes back within a yearD) will have no legal marriage life for seven years
66. Paul Brown regards leaving home in such circumstances as .
A) an act of despair B) an act of selfishness
C) the result of a sudden decisionD) the result of the enormous sense of guilt
Part ⅤError Correction
Direction:This part consists of a short passage. In this passage, there are altogether 10 mistakes, one in each numbered line. You may have to change a word, add a word or delete a word. Mark out the mistakes and put the corrections in the blanks provided. If you change a word, cross it out and write the correct word in the corresponding blank. If you add a word, put an insertion mark (∧) in the right place and write the missing word in the blank. If you delete a word, cross it out and put a slash (/) in the blank.
We live in a society in there is a lot of talk about 67
science, but I would say that there are not 5 percent of
the people who are equipped with schooling, including
college, to understand scientific reasoning. We are
more ignorant of science as people with comparable 68
educations in Western Europe.
There are a lot of kids who know everything about
computers—how to build them, how to take them apart,
how to write programs for games. So if you ask them 69
to explain about the principles of physics that have gone 70
into creating the computer, you don’t have the faintest idea. 71
The failure to understand science leads to such
things like the neglect of the human creative power. 72
It also takes rise to a blurring(模糊) of the distinction 73
between science and technology. Lots of people don’t
differ between the two. Science is the production 74
of new knowledge that can be applied or not, since 75
technology is the application of knowledge to the
production of some products, machinery or the like.
The two are really very different, and people who have
the faculty for one very seldom have a faculty for the other.
Science in itself is harmless, more or less. But as
soon as it can provide technology, it is not necessarily
harmful.No society has yet learned how to forecast the 76
consequences of new technology, which can be enormous.

答案與解析
Part ⅠWritingColleges Have Opened Their Doors Wider
Colleges have opened their doors wider in recent years because the student population has increased enormously from 4 million to more than 7 million in less than six years since 1997. Is this a good thing?
Some argue that the enrollment increase will benefit individuals and the society as well. It allows more students to pursue higher educations and state loans enable children from poor families to complete their education at universities and colleges. This may in turn contribute to helping them to eliminate poverty for the society.
Others express concerns over the rapid expansion. They are afraid that some problems may arise from it, for example, the problem of employment. A lot more graduates may have great trouble in finding a job after graduation, which will lead to a social problem.
In my opinion, the former view is more reasonable. Admittedly, a rapid increase of graduates seemingly places a heavy burden on the society. However, on second thoughts, we find that it is due to the rapid expansion that, to a great extent, we can delay the approach of the upcoming employment wave. Moreover, just as property and wealth once were keys to success, education has become the main provider of individual opportunity in our society and an element that most ensures success in life and eliminates poverty. In this sense, I am convinced that the admission expansion is very instrumental.

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section A
47. E此處應填入E項,be willing to 為固定搭配。
48. H此處應填入一個名詞,而appetite通常和介詞for搭配,此處句子的意思為控制我們無止境的欲望。
49. A此處應填入一個形容詞,根據(jù)上下文意思應選A項,意即:全球氣候變暖似乎離我們太遙遠,以至于我們無需為此擔心。
50. B此處應填入一個名詞,而與computer 搭配的名詞在選項中根據(jù)上下文意思B為正確選項。
51. F根據(jù)上下文意思此處應表達氣候變化之意,因此F為正確選項。
52. L該題較為簡單,表示“上個世紀全球的氣溫上升了1華氏”,應能迅速找出正確答案。
53. I顯然ice 與melt 搭配,因此I為正確選項。
54. K此處應填入一個現(xiàn)在分詞,表示“海岸受到侵蝕”,因此應選K。
55. N該題較為簡單,應填入一個復數(shù)名詞,所以填入N項。
56. D選D項,the rest of 為固定搭配。
Section B
57. B主旨題。該題要求學生總結(jié)文章的主題。文章主要寫了銀行發(fā)展的兩個方面:一是銀行的外在建筑風格,過去的銀行通常有heavy walls, barred windows 以及bronze doors,給人以非常可靠、放心踏實的感覺;二是銀行的功能轉(zhuǎn)變。選項B正是恰當?shù)母爬?,所以應該是正確答案。文章并無涉及現(xiàn)在和過去對錢的價值比較,所以A項“錢不如過去值錢”不對。文章也沒有對比哪種建筑風格更好,所以C項“過去的銀行的建筑風格比現(xiàn)代銀行的建筑風格更好”也不對。D項說“偏見使得老一輩人認為現(xiàn)代銀行不可靠”,不符合文章意思。
58. D細節(jié)歸納題。問題問老一代人與年輕一代人對錢的認識態(tài)度是什么?老一代人的看法可以從第三段開頭看出:“In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity that…”年輕一代對錢的看法可以從第四段第四行至第六行,尤其是“… he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers.”從上可以歸納出D項為該題的正確答案。
59. C語義題。該題較容易,只要參閱第三段“commodity”后的定語從句“that could be carried, or stolen.”這實際上就是解釋老一代人對錢的看法,他們認為錢是可以被攜帶或被偷走,也就是可以能摸得到的實實在在的東西,C項正確。
60. D細節(jié)推論題。問題問現(xiàn)代銀行應該具有什么功能?四選項的意思分別是:A)“充滿雄心且友好”,B)“可靠且威力無窮”,C)“明智且不可穿越”,D)“富有想像且有創(chuàng)造性”。要回答這個問題,應定位在文章第四段“…in which the most valuable element is the creativity”和第五段“… boasts of imaginative powers.”從中不難看出現(xiàn)代銀行應該是富有想像力并且有創(chuàng)造力。
61. C推論題。該題要求學生判斷作者對銀行的外在風格和功能的轉(zhuǎn)變這一趨勢的態(tài)度。最明確的提示應該是第四段開頭“But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed.”隨后進一步分析了現(xiàn)代銀行不同于過去銀行的功能,作者用了“creative imagination”, 可以看出其態(tài)度是肯定的。C項正確。
62. C細節(jié)理解題。問題問“當她的丈夫離家出走時,Eileen Doyle怎么樣?”根據(jù)第一段第二行“Eileen was astonished…”可以斷定C“(她)不明白為什么”應該是正確答案。其余三項均不符合文章意思。
63. A細節(jié)理解題。問題問“離開家庭的大多數(shù)人”。該題較簡單,解題依據(jù)應該是文章第二段,其大意為:一年中的每一天都有一小幫男人和女人悄然收拾幾件行李,沒有留下任何紙條或說一聲再見(“…without so much as a note or goodbye…”,其中without so much as為重要句型,表示“甚至…都沒有”),最后一次關上前門離家出走了,把他們的債務、他們的憂慮、還有迷惑不解的家庭拋在身后。A項正確。
64. D細節(jié)理解題。文章第四段第二、三句說明那些被遺棄的人甚至寧愿自己的配偶已經(jīng)死亡,至少死亡不會意味著自己被拋棄或失敗,所以要比被遺棄的感覺好點。B、C兩項屬于四級考試中典型的陷阱式干擾項,因為B項中的“pride and confidence”及C項中的“rejection or failure”在原文中皆有出現(xiàn),馬虎的考生可能不假思索就選了B或C,正好中了圈套,其實稍微細心一點就會發(fā)現(xiàn)B、C和文章所說的并不是一回事。第四段第三句“At least it…”中的it是指death而不是題干中主語所指。
65. D細節(jié)推論題。問題的題干應該在第四段開頭,所以答案在此之后“…Worse than that,… an unfinished marriage,…wait seven years before…”D項正是這種意思。
66. B細節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第五段第二行“Its typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other peoples pain and difficulties.”B項說“這是一種自私行為”,為正確答案。A) “這是種絕望行為”;C) “這是突然決定的結(jié)果”;D) “這是沉重負疚感的結(jié)果”。
Part Ⅴ Error Correction67.
本題考查“介詞+關系代詞” 引導的定語從句,in 改為where, 或在in 和there中間加which 。由于先行詞是in a society, 表示地點狀語,后面的定語從句中可以用where 或者in which 來引導作相同的成分。這樣in which/where there is…science 為定語從句修飾in a society。
68. 本題考查比較結(jié)構, as 改為than。由于出現(xiàn)了比較級more ignorant, 考生就應該敏感的想到與than的搭配。句意為:“我們比西歐受過同樣教育的人更對科學愚昧無知。”
69. 本題考查上下文的邏輯關系, So改為 But/However/Nevertheless。So表示因果關系,而根據(jù)上下文,此句句意與上句相反,應用表示轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞。
70. 本題考查動詞用法,about去掉。explain為及物動詞,表達“解釋某事”時后直接跟賓語,無需加介詞;表示“向某人解釋某事”時,用explain sth. to sb.
71. 本題考查代詞用法,you改為they??忌龃祟}時要有全句意識,不能局限在本句的部分找語法錯誤,本題就屬于語法無錯誤,而意思上有誤。根據(jù)上下文,此處應指if you ask them 中的them,應用they 做主語。
72. 本題考查搭配關系,like改為as。such 應與as搭配,表示例舉。
73. 本題考查習慣用法,takes改為gives。give rise to為固定搭配,意為“引起,使發(fā)生”,本句句意為:它也使得科學與技術的區(qū)別變得模糊。
74. 本題考查動詞誤用,differ改為distinguish。differ 表示“不同,相異”,而distinguish 表示“區(qū)別,辨別,使一物(特征等)與另一物相區(qū)別”;在搭配上的用法也不同,一般而言,A differ(s) from B, 而 (sb.) distinguish A from B / distinguish between(the two)。根據(jù)上下文,本句句意為:許多人對兩者不加區(qū)別。
75.本題考查邏輯關系,since改為while。此處講述了科學與技術的區(qū)別所在,since作連詞表示“自…以后, 因為, 既然”, 而本句后內(nèi)容應與前句在邏輯關系上形成對比,所以應用表示轉(zhuǎn)折的while或whereas。
76.本題考查形容詞誤用,harmful改為harmless。本題句意為:科學本身無害的,但一旦它能提供技術,就并非是無害的。Harmful意為“有害的”,應該為harmless“無害的”才符合題意。

Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)
Directions:In this part,you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7,mark
Y (for YES)if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;
N (for NO)if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;
NG (for NOT GIVEN)if the information is not given in the passage.
For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with information given in the passage.
Theft deterrent system
To deter the vehicle theft, the system is designed to give an alarm and keep the engine from being started if any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is forcibly unlocked or the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected when the vehicle is locked.
The alarm blows the horn intermittently and flashes the headlights, tail lights and other exterior lights. The engine cannot be started because the starter circuit will be cut.
SETTING THE SYSTEM
1. Turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position and remove it.
2. Have all passengers get out of the vehicle.
3. Close and lock the front, sliding and back doors and hood.
The indicator light will come on when the front, sliding and back doors and hood are closed and locked.
As the front doors are locked, the system will give you a preparation time of 30 seconds before the setting, during which the front, sliding and back doors and hood may be opened to prepare for the setting.
Be careful not to use the key when opening either front door. This will cancel the system.
4. After making sure the indicator light starts flashing, you may leave the vehicle.
The system will automatically be set after the preparation time elapses. The indicator light will flash to show the system is set. If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened at that time, the setting is interrupted until it is closed and locked.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when you set the system, because unlocking from the inside will activate (使起動) the system.
WHEN THE SYSTEM IS SET
Activating the system
The system will give the alarm and cut the starter circuit under the following conditions:
If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is unlocked without using the key
If the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected
After one minute, the alarm will automatically stop with the starter circuit cut kept on.
Reactivating the alarm
Once set, the system automatically resets the alarm each time the front, sliding and back doors and hood are closed after the alarm stops.
The alarm will be activated again under the following conditions:
If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened
If the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected
Stopping the alarm
Turn the ignition key from the “LOCK” to “ACC” position. The alarm will be stopped with the starter circuit cut kept on. Stopping the alarm in this manner will keep the alarm from being reactivated when any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is opened.
Interrupting the setting
With the system set, the back door can be opened with the key without activating or canceling the system. While it is open, the front and sliding doors and hood may be opened in addition, and the system can be activated only by the battery terminal disconnection.
To resume the setting, close and lock the front, sliding and back doors and hood. The back door must be closed with the key removed.
CANCELLING THE SYSTEM
Unlock either front door with the key, or unlock the sliding door with the key when it has been closed. This cancels the system completely and the starter circuit cut will be cancelled at once.
INDICATOR LIGHT
The indicator light gives the following three indications when the system is in use. When the light is:
FLASHING—The system is set. You need the key to open the front, sliding and back doors and hood.
ON—The system will automatically be set when the time comes. The front, sliding and back doors and hood may be opened without a key.
OFF—The system is inactive. You may open any door and hood.
TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. Open the driver’s and front passenger’s windows.
2. Set the system as described above. The front doors should be locked with the key. Be sure to wait until the indicator light starts flashing.
3. Unlock one of the front, sliding and back doors from the inside. The system should activate the alarm.
4. Cancel the system by unlocking either front door with the key.
5. Repeat this operation for the other doors and hood. When testing on the hood, also check that the system is activated when the battery terminal is disconnected and then reconnected.
If the system does not work properly, have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

There’s no question that the Earth is getting hotter. The real questions are: How much of the warming is our fault, and are we47 to slow the devastation by controlling our insatiable48 for fossil fuels?
Global warming can seem too49 to worry about, or too uncertain—something projected by the same computer50 that often can’t get next week’s weather right. On a raw winter day you might think that a few degrees of warming wouldn’t be such a bad thing anyway. And no doubt about it: Warnings about51 change can sound like an environmentalist scare tactic, meant to force us out of our cars and restrict our lifestyles.
Comforting thoughts, perhaps. Unfortunately, however, the Earth has some discomforting news.
From Alaska to the snowy peaks of the Andes the world is heating up right now, and fast. Globally, the52 is up 1°F over the past century, but some of the coldest, most remote spots have warmed much more. The results aren’t pretty.

Section B
Directions:There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D) .You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
My father’s reaction to the bank building at 43rd Street and Fifth Avenue in New York city was immediate and definite: “You wont catch me putting my money in there!” he declared, “Not in that glass box!”
Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is upsetting, but I am convinced that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.
In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity(實物) that could be carried, or stolen. Consequently, to attract the custom of a sensible man, a bank had to have heavy walls, barred windows, and bronze doors, to affirm the fact, however untrue, that money would be safe inside. If a buildings design made it appear impenetrable, the institution was necessarily reliable, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architecture symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money.
But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed. Excepting pocket money, cash of any kind is now rarely used; money as a tangible commodity has largely been replaced by credit. A deficit(赤字) economy, accompanied by huge expansion, has led us to think of money as product of the creative imagination. The banker no longer offers us a safe: he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers. It is in no way surprising, in view of this change in attitude, that we are witnessing the disappearance of the heavywalled bank.
Just as the older bank emphasized its strength, this bank by its architecture boasts of imaginative powers. From this point of view it is hard to say where architecture ends and human assertion(人們的說法) begins.
57. The main idea of this passage is that .
A) money is not as valuable as it was in the past
B) changes have taken place in both the appearance and the concept of banks
C) the architectural style of the older bank is superior to that of the modern bank
D) prejudice makes the older generation think that the modern bank is unreliable
58. How do the older generation and the younger one think about money?
A) The former thinks more of money than the latter.
B) The younger generation values money more than the older generation.
C) Both generations rely on the imaginative power of bankers to make money.
D) To the former money is a real commodity but to the latter the means of producing more money.
59. The word “tangible” (Line 2, Para. 4 ) refers to something .
A) that is preciousB) that is usable
C) that can be touchedD) that can be reproduced
60. According to this passage, a modern banker should be .
A) ambitious and friendlyB) reliable and powerful
C) sensible and impenetrableD) imaginative and creative
61. It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s attitude towards the new trend in banking is .
A) cautiousB) regretfulC) positiveD) hostile
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyles husband, an engineer, took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea, packed a small case and was never seen or heard of again. Eileen was astonished and in a state of despair. They had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there had been nothing wrong with their marriage.
Every day of the year a small group of men and women quietly pack a few belongings and without so much as a note or a good—bye close the front door for the last time, leaving their debts, their worries and their confused families behind them.
Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many women were reported missing from home—the highest in 15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others rejected the past completely and are now living a new life somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible blow to their pride and selfconfidence. Even the finality of death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection or failure. Worse than that, people can be left with an unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychologist Paul Brown believes most departures of this kind to be well planned rather than impulsive. “It’s typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties. Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel guilty, upset and empty.”
62. When her husband left home, Eileen Doyle .
A) could not forgive him for taking the children
B) had been expecting it to happen for some time
C) could not understand why
D) blamed herself for what had happened
63. Most people who leave their families behind them .
A) do so without warningB) do so because of their debts
C) come back immediatelyD) change their names
64. Some people would even prefer the death to the running away of their spouse(配偶) because .
A) their spouse would feel no pain during the death
B) their spouse death would not blow their pride and confidence
C) a desertion would not bring a feeling of rejection or failure
D) their spouse death would make them feel less painful
65. The man or woman left behind with an unfinished marriage usually .
A) admits responsibility for the situationB) wishes the person who has left were dead
C) comes back within a yearD) will have no legal marriage life for seven years
66. Paul Brown regards leaving home in such circumstances as .
A) an act of despair B) an act of selfishness
C) the result of a sudden decisionD) the result of the enormous sense of guilt
Part ⅤError Correction
Direction:This part consists of a short passage. In this passage, there are altogether 10 mistakes, one in each numbered line. You may have to change a word, add a word or delete a word. Mark out the mistakes and put the corrections in the blanks provided. If you change a word, cross it out and write the correct word in the corresponding blank. If you add a word, put an insertion mark (∧) in the right place and write the missing word in the blank. If you delete a word, cross it out and put a slash (/) in the blank.
We live in a society in there is a lot of talk about 67
science, but I would say that there are not 5 percent of
the people who are equipped with schooling, including
college, to understand scientific reasoning. We are
more ignorant of science as people with comparable 68
educations in Western Europe.
There are a lot of kids who know everything about
computers—how to build them, how to take them apart,
how to write programs for games. So if you ask them 69
to explain about the principles of physics that have gone 70
into creating the computer, you don’t have the faintest idea. 71
The failure to understand science leads to such
things like the neglect of the human creative power. 72
It also takes rise to a blurring(模糊) of the distinction 73
between science and technology. Lots of people don’t
differ between the two. Science is the production 74
of new knowledge that can be applied or not, since 75
technology is the application of knowledge to the
production of some products, machinery or the like.
The two are really very different, and people who have
the faculty for one very seldom have a faculty for the other.
Science in itself is harmless, more or less. But as
soon as it can provide technology, it is not necessarily
harmful.No society has yet learned how to forecast the 76
consequences of new technology, which can be enormous.

答案與解析
Part ⅠWritingColleges Have Opened Their Doors Wider
Colleges have opened their doors wider in recent years because the student population has increased enormously from 4 million to more than 7 million in less than six years since 1997. Is this a good thing?
Some argue that the enrollment increase will benefit individuals and the society as well. It allows more students to pursue higher educations and state loans enable children from poor families to complete their education at universities and colleges. This may in turn contribute to helping them to eliminate poverty for the society.
Others express concerns over the rapid expansion. They are afraid that some problems may arise from it, for example, the problem of employment. A lot more graduates may have great trouble in finding a job after graduation, which will lead to a social problem.
In my opinion, the former view is more reasonable. Admittedly, a rapid increase of graduates seemingly places a heavy burden on the society. However, on second thoughts, we find that it is due to the rapid expansion that, to a great extent, we can delay the approach of the upcoming employment wave. Moreover, just as property and wealth once were keys to success, education has become the main provider of individual opportunity in our society and an element that most ensures success in life and eliminates poverty. In this sense, I am convinced that the admission expansion is very instrumental.

4. N. 該句句意為:該系統(tǒng)只有在使用鑰匙打開前門、滑門、后門及發(fā)動機罩時才會起動。本題解題依據(jù)為Activating the system 下面第二句話即:If any of the front, sliding and back doors and hood is unlocked without using the key(如不用鑰匙打開前門、滑門、后門和發(fā)動機罩,該系統(tǒng)將發(fā)出警報并切斷起動機電路),由此可見,該句意與本題之義相反。
5. N. 該句句意為: 如果終止警報,你得把車的點火鑰匙從“ACC”位置撥到“LOCK”位置。本題解題依據(jù)為Stopping the alarm 下面第一句話:Turn the ignition key from the “LOCK” to “ACC” position (把點火鑰匙從“LOCK”撥到 “ACC”位置),顯然與原文不符。
6. N. 該句句意為: 當指示燈閃爍時,不需要用鑰匙打開任何門和發(fā)動機罩。本題解題依據(jù)為INDICATOR LIGHT 下面的第二句話:You need the key to open the front, sliding and back doors and hood. (你需要鑰匙打開前后門、滑門和發(fā)動機罩)。顯然本題句意與原文所述不符。
7. NG.該句句意為: 本文告訴我們該系統(tǒng)能有效工作以致于從未出現(xiàn)故障。通覽全文,本文根本未提及該信息。因而無法得知。

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)Section A
47. E此處應填入E項,be willing to 為固定搭配。
48. H此處應填入一個名詞,而appetite通常和介詞for搭配,此處句子的意思為控制我們無止境的欲望。
49. A此處應填入一個形容詞,根據(jù)上下文意思應選A項,意即:全球氣候變暖似乎離我們太遙遠,以至于我們無需為此擔心。
50. B此處應填入一個名詞,而與computer 搭配的名詞在選項中根據(jù)上下文意思B為正確選項。
51. F根據(jù)上下文意思此處應表達氣候變化之意,因此F為正確選項。
52. L該題較為簡單,表示“上個世紀全球的氣溫上升了1華氏”,應能迅速找出正確答案。
53. I顯然ice 與melt 搭配,因此I為正確選項。
54. K此處應填入一個現(xiàn)在分詞,表示“海岸受到侵蝕”,因此應選K。
55. N該題較為簡單,應填入一個復數(shù)名詞,所以填入N項。
56. D選D項,the rest of 為固定搭配。
Section B
57. B主旨題。該題要求學生總結(jié)文章的主題。文章主要寫了銀行發(fā)展的兩個方面:一是銀行的外在建筑風格,過去的銀行通常有heavy walls, barred windows 以及bronze doors,給人以非常可靠、放心踏實的感覺;二是銀行的功能轉(zhuǎn)變。選項B正是恰當?shù)母爬?,所以應該是正確答案。文章并無涉及現(xiàn)在和過去對錢的價值比較,所以A項“錢不如過去值錢”不對。文章也沒有對比哪種建筑風格更好,所以C項“過去的銀行的建筑風格比現(xiàn)代銀行的建筑風格更好”也不對。D項說“偏見使得老一輩人認為現(xiàn)代銀行不可靠”,不符合文章意思。
58. D細節(jié)歸納題。問題問老一代人與年輕一代人對錢的認識態(tài)度是什么?老一代人的看法可以從第三段開頭看出:“In his generation money was thought of as a real commodity that…”年輕一代對錢的看法可以從第四段第四行至第六行,尤其是“… he offers us a service in which the most valuable element is the creativity for the invention of large numbers.”從上可以歸納出D項為該題的正確答案。
59. C語義題。該題較容易,只要參閱第三段“commodity”后的定語從句“that could be carried, or stolen.”這實際上就是解釋老一代人對錢的看法,他們認為錢是可以被攜帶或被偷走,也就是可以能摸得到的實實在在的東西,C項正確。
60. D細節(jié)推論題。問題問現(xiàn)代銀行應該具有什么功能?四選項的意思分別是:A)“充滿雄心且友好”,B)“可靠且威力無窮”,C)“明智且不可穿越”,D)“富有想像且有創(chuàng)造性”。要回答這個問題,應定位在文章第四段“…in which the most valuable element is the creativity”和第五段“… boasts of imaginative powers.”從中不難看出現(xiàn)代銀行應該是富有想像力并且有創(chuàng)造力。
61. C推論題。該題要求學生判斷作者對銀行的外在風格和功能的轉(zhuǎn)變這一趨勢的態(tài)度。最明確的提示應該是第四段開頭“But the attitude toward money has, of course, changed.”隨后進一步分析了現(xiàn)代銀行不同于過去銀行的功能,作者用了“creative imagination”, 可以看出其態(tài)度是肯定的。C項正確。
62. C細節(jié)理解題。問題問“當她的丈夫離家出走時,Eileen Doyle怎么樣?”根據(jù)第一段第二行“Eileen was astonished…”可以斷定C“(她)不明白為什么”應該是正確答案。其余三項均不符合文章意思。
63. A細節(jié)理解題。問題問“離開家庭的大多數(shù)人”。該題較簡單,解題依據(jù)應該是文章第二段,其大意為:一年中的每一天都有一小幫男人和女人悄然收拾幾件行李,沒有留下任何紙條或說一聲再見(“…without so much as a note or goodbye…”,其中without so much as為重要句型,表示“甚至…都沒有”),最后一次關上前門離家出走了,把他們的債務、他們的憂慮、還有迷惑不解的家庭拋在身后。A項正確。
64. D細節(jié)理解題。文章第四段第二、三句說明那些被遺棄的人甚至寧愿自己的配偶已經(jīng)死亡,至少死亡不會意味著自己被拋棄或失敗,所以要比被遺棄的感覺好點。B、C兩項屬于四級考試中典型的陷阱式干擾項,因為B項中的“pride and confidence”及C項中的“rejection or failure”在原文中皆有出現(xiàn),馬虎的考生可能不假思索就選了B或C,正好中了圈套,其實稍微細心一點就會發(fā)現(xiàn)B、C和文章所說的并不是一回事。第四段第三句“At least it…”中的it是指death而不是題干中主語所指。
65. D細節(jié)推論題。問題的題干應該在第四段開頭,所以答案在此之后“…Worse than that,… an unfinished marriage,…wait seven years before…”D項正是這種意思。
66. B細節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第五段第二行“Its typical of the kind of personality which seems able to ignore other peoples pain and difficulties.”B項說“這是一種自私行為”,為正確答案。A) “這是種絕望行為”;C) “這是突然決定的結(jié)果”;D) “這是沉重負疚感的結(jié)果”。
Part Ⅴ Error Correction67.
本題考查“介詞+關系代詞” 引導的定語從句,in 改為where, 或在in 和there中間加which 。由于先行詞是in a society, 表示地點狀語,后面的定語從句中可以用where 或者in which 來引導作相同的成分。這樣in which/where there is…science 為定語從句修飾in a society。
68. 本題考查比較結(jié)構, as 改為than。由于出現(xiàn)了比較級more ignorant, 考生就應該敏感的想到與than的搭配。句意為:“我們比西歐受過同樣教育的人更對科學愚昧無知。”
69. 本題考查上下文的邏輯關系, So改為 But/However/Nevertheless。So表示因果關系,而根據(jù)上下文,此句句意與上句相反,應用表示轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞。
70. 本題考查動詞用法,about去掉。explain為及物動詞,表達“解釋某事”時后直接跟賓語,無需加介詞;表示“向某人解釋某事”時,用explain sth. to sb.
71. 本題考查代詞用法,you改為they??忌龃祟}時要有全句意識,不能局限在本句的部分找語法錯誤,本題就屬于語法無錯誤,而意思上有誤。根據(jù)上下文,此處應指if you ask them 中的them,應用they 做主語。
72. 本題考查搭配關系,like改為as。such 應與as搭配,表示例舉。
73. 本題考查習慣用法,takes改為gives。give rise to為固定搭配,意為“引起,使發(fā)生”,本句句意為:它也使得科學與技術的區(qū)別變得模糊。
74. 本題考查動詞誤用,differ改為distinguish。differ 表示“不同,相異”,而distinguish 表示“區(qū)別,辨別,使一物(特征等)與另一物相區(qū)別”;在搭配上的用法也不同,一般而言,A differ(s) from B, 而 (sb.) distinguish A from B / distinguish between(the two)。根據(jù)上下文,本句句意為:許多人對兩者不加區(qū)別。
75.本題考查邏輯關系,since改為while。此處講述了科學與技術的區(qū)別所在,since作連詞表示“自…以后, 因為, 既然”, 而本句后內(nèi)容應與前句在邏輯關系上形成對比,所以應用表示轉(zhuǎn)折的while或whereas。
76.本題考查形容詞誤用,harmful改為harmless。本題句意為:科學本身無害的,但一旦它能提供技術,就并非是無害的。Harmful意為“有害的”,應該為harmless“無害的”才符合題意。
