Entertainment in London
Buying Books
Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazinesand even of books especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spiteof ever increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy“proper” books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book selling.Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London.
Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one whichboasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens time. Many of them specialize insecond hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books of philosophy, politicsor any other of the various subjects about which books may be written. One shop inthis area specializes solely in books about ballet!
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing CrossRoad is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second hand volumes, the collectormust venture off the busy and crowded roads, to Farringdon Road in the East Centraldistrict of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, thebooksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to barrows(推車(chē)) which line the gutters(貧民區(qū)). And the collectors, some professional and someamateur, who have been waiting for them, pounce towards the sellers. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may beworth many pounds.
Both Charing Cross Road and Farringdon Road are well known places of the book buyer.Yet all over London there are bookshops, in places not so well known, where the booksare equally varied and exciting. It is in the sympathetic atmosphere of such shopsthat the loyal book buyer feels most at home. In these shops, even the life longbook browser is frequently rewarded by the accidental discovery of previously
unknown delights. One could, in fact, easily spend a lifetime exploring London s bookshops. There are many less pleasant ways of spending time!
Going to the Theatre
London is very rich in theatres: there are over forty in the West End alone — morethan enough to ensure that there will always be at least two or three shows running to suit every kind taste, whether serious or lighthearted.
Some of them are specialist theatres. The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, where the great opera singers of the world can be heard, is the home of opera and the RoyalBallet. The London Coliseum now houses the English National Opera Company, which encourages English singers in particular and performs most operas in English at
popular prices.
Some theatres concentrate on the classics and serious drama, some on light comedy,some on musicals. Most theatres have a personality of their own, from the old, suchas the Theatre Royal (also called the “Haymarket”) in the Haymarket, to the moremodern such as the recently opened Baibican centre in the city. The National Theatrehas three separate theatres in its new building by Waterloo Bridge. At the new Barbicancentre the Royal Shakespeare Company has their London home — their other centre isat Stratford-on-Avon.
Most of the old London theatres are concentrated in a very small area, within astone s throw of the Piccadilly and Leicester Square tube stations. As the eveningperformances normally begin either at seven thirty or eight p.m., there is a kindof minor rush hour between seven fifteen and eight o clock in this district.
People stream out of the nearby tube stations, the pavements are crowded, and taxisand private cars maneuver into position as they drop theatre goers outside theentrance to each theatre. There is another minor rush hour when the performancefinishes. The theatre in London is very popular and it is not always easy to get into see a successful play.
Before World War Ⅱ, theatre performances began later and a visit to the theatrewas a more formal occasion. Nowadays very few people “dress” for the theatre (thatis, wear formal evening dress) except for first nights or an important performance.The times of performance were put forward during the war and have not been put back.
The existing times make the question of eating a rather tricky problem: one has tohave either early dinner or late supper. Many restaurants in “theatreland” easethe situation by catering specially for early or late dinners.
Television and the difficulty of financing plays have helped to close many theatres.
But it seems that the worst of the situation is now over and that the theatre, aftera period of decline, is about to pick up again. Although some quite large provincial
towns do not have a professional theatre, there are others, such as Nottingham, Hull,Coventry or Newcastle, which have excellent companies and where a series of playsare performed during one season by a resident group of actors. Some towns such asChichester or Edinburgh have theatres which give summer seasons. Even in small townsa number of theatres have been built in the last few years to cater for the localpopulation.
Music in Britain
It is debatable whether the tastes of kings reflect those of their subjects.
However, three English monarchs certainly shared their people s linking for music.Richard Ⅰ(1157 1199), the “Lionheart”, composed songs that he sang with hismusician, Blondel. It is said that when the king was a prisoner in Austria, Blondelfound him by singing a song known only to him and the king, who took up the tune inthe tower of the castle in which he was secretly imprisoned. Henry Ⅷ (1491 1547),notorious for his six wives, was a skilled musician and some of his songs are stillknown and sung. Queen Victoria (1819 1901) and her husband, Prince Albert, delightedin singing ballads. The great composer and pianist Felix Mendelssohn (1809 1847)was a welcome guest at their court, where he would accompany the Queen and the Princewhen they sang.
The British love of music is often unfamiliar to foreigners, probably because thereare few renowned British composers. The most famous is Henry Purcell (1658 1695),whose opera “Dido and Aeneas” is a classic. The rousing marching song “Lillibulero”attributed to Purcell, now used by BBC as an identification signal preceding OverseasService news bulletins, was said to have “sung James Ⅱ out of three kingdoms” whenhe fled from Britain in 1688. Sir Edward Elgar (1857 1934) is known for his choraland orchestral works, some of which have been made more widely known by the famous
violinist Yehudi Menuhin. Benjamin Britten (1913 1976), a composer with a verypersonal style, has become world famous for such operatic works as “Peter Grimes”and “Billy Budd”. Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 1958) was deeply influenced byEnglish folk music, as is shown by his variations on the old tune “Green sleeves”(which most people consider a folk song). In recent years there has been a greatrevival of folk music, and groups specializing in its performance have sprung up allover Britain. This phenomenon has its roots in the work of Cecil Sharp (1859 1924),who collected folk songs and dances.Present-day concern with music is shown by the existence of something like a hundredsummer schools in music, which cater for all grades of musicians, from the merebeginner to the skilled performer. These schools, where a friendly atmosphere reigns,provide courses lasting from a weekend to three or four weeks, and cover a wide range,from medieval and classical music to rock and roll and pop. There are alsoimportant musical festivals in towns such as Aldeburgh, Bath, and Cheltenham. Popmusic festivals draw thousands of people, especially young people. In the greatcities there are resident world famous orchestras and from all over the world great performers come to play or sing in Britain. In many towns there are brass bands, andthe players are often such people as miners or members of the local fire brigade,for music in Britain is not just an elegant interest, it is above all democratic.

Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incompletestatements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete thestatements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet2.
Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
Addison Heard uses an image of his wife and infant son for the background on his laptop.
An MBA student at the University of Virginia s Darden School of Business, Heardthinks about his family constantly. But because he s away at B school, he hasexperienced much of his son s first year via phone calls and digital photos. Says
Heard, “It has been particularly hard, not being there with them every day. ”
This was his family s choice. It didn t make financial sense for his wife, Eden,a corporate lawyer in Washington, to quit her job, sell their condo(公寓), and move
to Charlotterville with her husband. So he went alone. In his first Year each spouse
made the 200 mile round trip commute on alternate weekends. Since their son wasborn last May, Addison has been doing most of the driving.
As complicated as the Heard s situation seems, it isn t all that rare. Inany year, hundreds of couples deal with how to handle the family logistics(后勤工
作) of going to B school. Some choose a long distance relationship, commutingback and forth on weekends and breaks. Others see partners and children only on
vacations and holidays. Still others pack up the family and bring them along.
Being apart hasn t been easy, but the Heards have made it work. On weekends whenthe couple is in Virginia, they attend social events, so she can feel a part of the
community. Heard also avoids Friday classes to gain more family time. “We ve gotten
into a routine that works,” he says, “but I m looking forward to being home, so
the three of us can be a family. ”
Any long distance commute puts pressure on a relationship, causing some couplesto drift apart. Being thrown in a rigorous academic schedule for one spouse and a
demanding career for the other, the stress intensifies, often distracting studentsfrom their studies.
Some schools offer students in these situations a good deal of support. For farawayspouses, there are on campus social events when they visit, online communities,even involvement in alumni networks in their home cities. But mainly B schools tryto make it easier for students to take their partners along for the ride. They helpfamilies find housing, preschools, or local employment.
The decision to attend a distant B school is fraught(伴隨著的) with financialand logistical problems. Students also must decide if their families should stay orgo. Either way, schools try to accommodate them. “We have more than ourselves tothink about,” an MBA student, Cory Hrncirik says. “It s a family influenced
choice. ”
Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
47. Heard will come into contact with his son in his first year via.
48. Before his son was born, in order to meet each other, Addison made the 200
mile round trip commute.
49. The way that Addison continues his study will make the other.
50. Some B schools will make it easier for students to .
51. According to Hrncirik s remarks, the pursuit of MBA degree is .
Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by somequestions 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 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
There he was America s first President with an MBA, the man who loves to boast abouthis business background, whose presidential campaign raised unprecedented sums from
corporate wallets and whose cabinet is stuffed with chief executives. Faith in theintegrity of American business leaders was being undermined(破壞), George Bush said
fiercely, by executives “breaching trust and abusing power”. It was time for “anew ethic of personal responsibility in the business community”. He was going to“end the days of cooking the books, shading the truth and breaking our laws”.Only months ago, the idea that George W Bush would publicly lambaste America scooperate bosses was laughable. As a candidate, born on the wave of a decade longeconomic boom and an unprecedented 18 year bull market, he cashed in on American
s love affair with corporate success. But things are different now. The stock marketbubble has burst and, despite signs of economic recovery. Wall Street seems to besunk in gloom. A string of scandals at some of America s most high flying firms—including Enron, Xerox, Tyco, Global Crossing and most recently, World Com hasradically changed the public mood.
As political pressure for reform increases, so too does the heat on Mr. Bush. Isthe businessman s president really prepared to take business on and push hard forreform? Despite the set jaw and aggrieved tone in New York. Probably not. Mr. Bushthinks the current crisis stems from a few bad apple chief executives rather thanthe system as a whole. Hence he focus on tough penalties for corrupt businessmen andhis plea for higher ethical standards. The president announced the creation of afinancial crimes SWAT team, at the Justice Department to root out corporate fraud,and wants to double the maximum prison sentence for financial fraud from five to tenyears. But he offered few concrete suggestions for systemic reforM: little mentionof changes to strengthen shareholders rights, not even an endorsement of the Senatecorporate reform bill.
There are few signs yet that cleaning up corporate America is an issue that animatesthe voters. Polls show that Americans have little faith in their business leaders,but politicians do not seem to be suffering as a result. Mr. Bush s approval ratingshave fallen from their sky highs, but they are still very strong.
The president, therefore, need do no more than talk tough. This alone will convinceordinary Americans that he is on top of the issue. As the economy rebounds and publicoutage subsides, the clamor for change will be quieter. Democratic attacks will fizzle,and far reaching reform bills will be watered down before they become law.
Politically, the gamble makes sense. Unfortunately for American capitalism, a greatopportunity will be missed.
52. We can infer from the third paragraph that Mr. Bush.
A) didn’t intend to take business on and push hard for reform
B) did not do anything at all for the presence of the current situation
C) took shareholders right into account, but he didn t approve reform bill
D) took some measures to pave the way for the reform
53. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) Bush had to offer concrete suggestions for reform as political pressure increase.
B) At present, the maximum prison sentence for financial fraud is five years.
C) It is laughable that Mr. Bush publicly attacked America s corporate bosses.
D) Americans have little faith in their business as well as political leaders.
54. Which of the following statements about Mr. Bush is mentioned in this passage?
A) Mr. Bush is the second President with an MBA in American history.
B) Mr. Bush contributes a lot to decade long economic boom.
C) Mr. Bush s approval ratings are still high.
D) Mr. Bush didn t get support in his presidential campaign.
55. The author’s attitude towards the reform is.
A) indifferent
B) optimistic
C) skeptical
D) favorable
56. The phrase “a great opportunity” mentioned in the last paragraph refers to anopportunity to.
A) carry out reform
B) boom economy
C) animate the voters
D) attack chief executive
Passage Two
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
In recent decades, there is a phenomenon which makes us give some attention; the socalled Southeast Asian “tigers” have rivaled the western “l(fā)ions” for stockcliches that make economic headlines. The myth of American economic hegemony(霸權(quán))over Asia in the imposing and patriarchal figure of Uncle Sam has provided frequentpolitical grist ( 有利) for Southeast Asian political leaders, particularlyMalaysia’s Prime Minister Mahathir. He has attempted to forge an internationalreputation as a snarling tiger, but lately sounds more like a barnyard dog groaningat shadows. Without demeaning in any way the remarkable achievements of the newlydeveloping economies of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, these nations at timesappear to be their own worst enemies. This is often exemplified by Dr. Mahathir, whorails at Western evil whenever an international or domestic crisis provides an
opportunity.
To be more specific, the recent devaluation of the Philippine and Thai currencies,and the subsequent pressure on the Malaysian currency has inspired Dr. Mahathir tolaunch an all out attack on the West as the source of the problem. He even allegesthat the United States has deliberately destabilized Southeast Asian economies inrevenge for these nations, supporting the brutal military rule in Mahathir, an actionwhich the United States seems to want inspected rather than rewarded. But by resortingto such scapegoat (替罪羊), instead of accepting even a bit responsibility, the Prime
Minister may undermine the future success of the region and Malaysia in particular.
Upon further questioning, Dr. Mahathir narrowed his attack to one wealthy individual,
the well-known philanthropist (慈善家), Mr. George Soros, whose opposition to
Myanmar’s admission to ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Mahathir foundparticularity, irritating. The logical mistakes that underlie such conspiracytheories do not help Malaysia address the serious issues of economic overheating thatexperts have been warning about for all these difficult periods, which include largedeficits and low savings to debt ratios. In fact, the recent dramatic drop inMalaysia’s stock market and currency has led Dr. Mahathir to reverse his initialapproach to the crisis. He even announces measures that at least imply he is quiteaware of excesses in his own administration s spending policies that havecontributed to this crisis of confidence. In the end, this kind of reaction underminesthe esteem that Dr. Mahathir s enlightened leadership has justly earned.
57. It is implied in the first paragraph that Dr. Mahathir.
A) has correctly identified the financial problem in Asia
B) tries to manipulate anti Western actions for political gains
C) detests the USA’s controlling over the regional economies
D) believes in the effect of the ghostly influence from the west
58. The author of this essay seems to suggest that.
A) the devaluation of Malaysia s currency is due to the American plot
B) the Asian Crisis is the result of ASEAN pandering to terrorist governments
C) there is not a serious economic problems in Southeast Asia at all
D) the economic problems in some Asian countries is partly the result of theiroverheating economy
59. The author suggests the Dr. Mahathir s comments on the currency problems.
A) prove that he has been a poor leader in general
B) are poor because they weaken his own credibility
C) are sharp in identifying the cause of the problem
D) reveal his keen insight into the complex issue
60. Which of the following is the tone of this essay?
A) Sarcastic and prejudice.
B) Objective and detached.
C) Piercing and indifferent.
D) Impassive and hostile.
61. The relative pronoun “which” in the last paragraph (Line 5) refers to.

和諧社會(huì)是目前中國(guó)現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)的目標(biāo)之一，是比較熱門(mén)的社會(huì)話(huà)題。報(bào)紙、雜志、電視新聞等，經(jīng)常討論此話(huà)題?？忌鷳?yīng)多關(guān)注社會(huì)新聞，為寫(xiě)作收集素材。
范文解析
Nowadays, it seems known to everybody that one of the objectives of China s modernconstruction is to build a harmonious society. All of a sudden, “a harmonious society”has become a frequently used phrase in media news, newspaper etc. It is the trendof China s development.
But what is a harmonious society? In my mind, there are several aspects included inbuilding a harmonious society. First, a harmonious society has democracy in itspolitics to ensure the maximum benefits of the people. Second, a harmonious societyhas equality and justice to protect the rights of every citizen. Third, a harmonioussociety has good faith and friendly relation between people to create a favorableatmosphere for living and doing business. Forth, a harmonious society has energy tomake sure its creativity. Fifth, a harmonious society has stability and order to provide people with a comfortable environment. Sixth, a harmonious society has harmony between humankind and nature for a sustainable development of economy.
To be true, it needs joint efforts of every person in China to realize this great goal. For me, I am a student in college. What I can do is to develop good relations with people around me, help others as much as possible, spread this awareness to as many people as possible, laying a foundation for this tall building.
文章一開(kāi)始就提到目前中國(guó)現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)的目標(biāo)之一，就是構(gòu)建和諧社會(huì)。一時(shí)之間，構(gòu)建和 諧社會(huì)成為中國(guó)發(fā)展的趨勢(shì)。
第二段從六個(gè)方面講述了和諧社會(huì)的內(nèi)涵：1）民主政治，保證人們的大利益；2）公平正義，保證每個(gè)公民的權(quán)利；3）誠(chéng)信友好，為生活和生產(chǎn)提供良好環(huán)境；4）充滿(mǎn)活力，確保社會(huì)的創(chuàng)造力；5）穩(wěn)定有序，保證生活平穩(wěn)安定；6）人與自然和諧相處，實(shí)現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟(jì)可持續(xù)性發(fā)展。
第三段從自身出發(fā)，討論在構(gòu)建和諧社會(huì)時(shí)自己該如何做。作為一名學(xué)生，作者認(rèn)為：和周?chē)税l(fā)展友好關(guān)系，樂(lè)于助人，傳播“和諧社會(huì)”的意識(shí)，為這個(gè)宏偉目標(biāo)奠定基礎(chǔ)。六級(jí)作文很貼近國(guó)家大事，因?yàn)閷?duì)時(shí)事政治的了解是對(duì)當(dāng)代大學(xué)生的要求之一。出現(xiàn)一個(gè)新的命題，考生應(yīng)多關(guān)注其內(nèi)涵及相關(guān)評(píng)論，這樣寫(xiě)作過(guò)程中才能做到“胸有成竹”，寫(xiě)出來(lái)的作文才“言之有物”。
Part ⅡReading Comprehension（Skimming and Scanning）
原文精譯
倫敦的娛樂(lè)
買(mǎi)書(shū)
（1）倫敦人很愛(ài)讀書(shū)?！?】他們平時(shí)買(mǎi)很多報(bào)紙，雜志，還有書(shū)籍，尤其是平裝書(shū)。在印刷成本日益增高的今天，平裝書(shū)相對(duì)來(lái)說(shuō)比較便宜。他們始終青睞“合宜”的書(shū)，如紙張
好的硬皮書(shū)。
（2）倫敦許多街道的店鋪專(zhuān)賣(mài)書(shū)?！?】知名的當(dāng)屬倫敦市中心的查令十字街。在這里你可以找到大大小小、各種各樣的書(shū)店，有的書(shū)店，聲稱(chēng)是世界上大的書(shū)店，也有狹小臟亂的小書(shū)屋，看起來(lái)似乎是從狄更斯年代留傳下來(lái)的。其中很多書(shū)店經(jīng)營(yíng)二手書(shū)，涉及的領(lǐng)域有藝術(shù)、國(guó)外作品、哲學(xué)、政治以及其他五花八門(mén)的話(huà)題，其中有個(gè)書(shū)店只賣(mài)關(guān)于芭蕾的書(shū)籍！
（3）查令十字街是倫敦人買(mǎi)書(shū)方便的地方，卻不是便宜的?！?】如果想買(mǎi)真正便宜的二手書(shū)，買(mǎi)家需要離開(kāi)繁忙擁擠的街道，到倫敦東區(qū)法林頓街尋寶。這里沒(méi)有大型的書(shū)店，賣(mài)書(shū)者每天早晨來(lái)，把整麻袋書(shū)放在推車(chē)上沿貧民區(qū)道路排成一線(xiàn)。一直在等他們的買(mǎi)家，有業(yè)余的，也有專(zhuān)業(yè)的，朝這些賣(mài)家奔去。在這些地方，偶爾可以用幾便士買(mǎi)一本舊書(shū)，而其價(jià)值可能是很多英鎊。
（4）查令十字街和法林頓街都是買(mǎi)書(shū)的知名地點(diǎn)。但全倫敦都有書(shū)店，也許地方不太有名，但書(shū)同樣多種多樣，讓人激動(dòng)。這些書(shū)店?duì)I造出來(lái)的共鳴，讓忠誠(chéng)的買(mǎi)家感覺(jué)很舒服。在這些書(shū)店，只是瀏覽書(shū)籍的人也會(huì)經(jīng)常得到意想不到的快樂(lè)。事實(shí)上，人的一生可能都在淘書(shū)。享受時(shí)間，很多方式并沒(méi)有搜書(shū)這么有樂(lè)趣！去劇院
（5）倫敦劇院到處都有：僅僅西區(qū)就超過(guò)40 家，足以保證至少兩到三場(chǎng)演出，可滿(mǎn)足不同興趣的觀(guān)眾，或嚴(yán)肅，或輕松。
（6）【4】有些是專(zhuān)業(yè)劇院，如皇家歌劇院,考文特花園，它們主演歌劇和皇家芭蕾，在這里可以聽(tīng)到世界上偉大的歌劇演員的演出。英國(guó)國(guó)家歌劇公司入住倫敦大劇場(chǎng)，它鼓勵(lì)歌劇演員，特別是本土的演員，用英語(yǔ)表演大部分的歌劇，且符合大眾的價(jià)位。
（7）有些劇院主要上演經(jīng)典作品和嚴(yán)肅戲劇、輕喜劇、音樂(lè)劇。大部分劇院有自己的個(gè)性，老劇院如位于海馬克特的皇家宮廷劇院（也叫做海依市場(chǎng)），現(xiàn)代劇院如近剛開(kāi)的巴比
肯。國(guó)家劇院在滑鐵盧橋旁有三個(gè)獨(dú)立劇院。在新的巴比肯中心，皇家莎士比亞劇團(tuán)在此落腳，其另一中心在埃汶河畔的斯特拉特福。
（8）倫敦大部分老劇院都集中在一個(gè)小區(qū)域，在皮卡迪利大街和萊斯特廣場(chǎng)地鐵之間?！?】晚間表演一般是晚上7:30 或8 點(diǎn)開(kāi)始，這個(gè)區(qū)在7:15 到8 點(diǎn)之間會(huì)有個(gè)小小的高峰期。人們從附近的地鐵蜂擁而出，人行道很擁擠，出租車(chē)、私家車(chē)想方設(shè)法停到位，把看劇的人送到劇場(chǎng)的入口處。表演結(jié)束后也是個(gè)小高峰期。倫敦的劇院很流行，想進(jìn)去看一場(chǎng)成功的表演并不很容易。
（9）二戰(zhàn)前，劇院表演開(kāi)始的要晚一點(diǎn)，去看戲是很正式的一件事?，F(xiàn)在，很少有人特意為看戲穿正裝（也就是說(shuō)，穿正式的晚禮服），除非是第看或表演非常重要?！?】戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)期間，表演時(shí)間提前，直到現(xiàn)在也保持原樣。目前的演出時(shí)間讓吃飯成為相當(dāng)棘手的問(wèn)題：需要早一點(diǎn)吃晚飯或晚間吃宵夜。劇院附近的飯店提供早一點(diǎn)的晚飯或晚上的夜宵，緩解了這種狀況。
（10）【7】電視的普及和演出經(jīng)費(fèi)拮據(jù)致使很多劇院倒閉。但看起來(lái)糟的情況已經(jīng)結(jié)束，蕭條一段時(shí)間之后，劇院開(kāi)始復(fù)興。有些大城鎮(zhèn)沒(méi)有專(zhuān)業(yè)劇院，但其他一些城鎮(zhèn)如諾丁漢、赫爾、考文垂、紐卡斯?fàn)?，有很不錯(cuò)的司，每一季都有一批演員表演一系列的戲劇。有些城鎮(zhèn)如奇切斯特、愛(ài)丁堡的劇院，夏季會(huì)有演出季。即使在小城鎮(zhèn)，過(guò)去幾年內(nèi)也已建了一批劇院來(lái)滿(mǎn)足當(dāng)?shù)厝藗兊男枨?。英?guó)音樂(lè)
（11）國(guó)王的品味是否反映了臣民的品味，這是值得商榷的。但是，【8】下面這三個(gè)國(guó)王卻和自己的臣民共享音樂(lè)。理查德一世 (1157 1199)被稱(chēng)為“勇士”，他自己譜曲，和樂(lè)師布隆德?tīng)栆黄鹧莩?。?jù)說(shuō)，他在奧地利坐時(shí)，布隆德?tīng)柍艘皇字挥兴蛧?guó)王知道的歌曲，國(guó)王在秘密囚禁的城堡中接唱了這首曲子，由此布隆德?tīng)栒业搅藝?guó)王。亨利八世 (14911547)，雖因有六個(gè)妻子而臭名昭著，卻是個(gè)優(yōu)秀的樂(lè)師，他的一些曲子至今仍在傳唱。維多利亞女王 (1819 1901)和丈夫阿爾伯特親王以唱民謠為樂(lè)。偉大的作曲家和鋼琴師菲利克斯·門(mén)德?tīng)査?1809 1847)是宮廷中的?？?，經(jīng)常在女王和王子唱歌時(shí)為他們伴奏。（12）【9】外國(guó)人不很了解英國(guó)人對(duì)音樂(lè)的熱愛(ài)，可能是因?yàn)橹挠?guó)作曲家很少。有名的是亨利·普賽爾 (1658 1695)，戲劇《珀賽爾狄多與埃涅阿斯》是個(gè)經(jīng)典。獻(xiàn)給普賽爾的進(jìn)行曲“勒里布里羅”讓人振奮，現(xiàn)在BBC 把這個(gè)音樂(lè)用作海外新聞的標(biāo)志性樂(lè)曲，據(jù)說(shuō)唱的是“拋棄三個(gè)王國(guó)的詹姆斯二世”1688 年逃離英國(guó)的故事。愛(ài)德華·艾爾加爵士(1857 1934)因合唱和管弦樂(lè)曲目而知名，其中一些作品因的小提琴家耶胡迪·梅紐因而更廣為人知。本杰明·布里頓 (1913 1976)作曲非常具有個(gè)人特色，因戲劇作品《彼得·格里姆斯》和《比利·巴德》而舉世聞名。拉爾夫·沃恩·威廉姆斯 (1872 1958)深受英國(guó)民間音樂(lè)的影響，這從他對(duì)老歌《綠袖子》的改編便可看出來(lái)（很多人都認(rèn)為這是個(gè)民歌）。近幾年，民間音樂(lè)復(fù)興開(kāi)來(lái)，全英國(guó)都有專(zhuān)業(yè)的民間音樂(lè)表演組織。這個(gè)現(xiàn)象根源于塞西爾·夏普 (1859 1924)的作品，他收集民間音樂(lè)和舞蹈。（13）目前對(duì)音樂(lè)的關(guān)注表現(xiàn)在100 所夏季音樂(lè)學(xué)校的存在，這些學(xué)校滿(mǎn)足各個(gè)級(jí)別的音樂(lè)者，從初學(xué)者到熟練的表演家?！?0】這些學(xué)校氛圍友好，有的課程只有一個(gè)周末的課時(shí)，也有課程持續(xù)三、四周。音樂(lè)種類(lèi)眾多，從中世紀(jì)音樂(lè)、古典音樂(lè)到搖滾樂(lè)和流行音樂(lè)。奧爾德堡、巴斯、切爾騰納姆等城鎮(zhèn)有重要的音樂(lè)節(jié)，流行音樂(lè)節(jié)吸引了成千上萬(wàn)人，尤其是年輕人。大城市有世界聞名的樂(lè)隊(duì)，來(lái)自世界各國(guó)的偉大藝術(shù)家來(lái)英國(guó)表演。很多城鎮(zhèn)都有軍樂(lè)隊(duì)，樂(lè)手一般是礦工、當(dāng)?shù)氐南狸?duì)員。在英國(guó)音樂(lè)不僅僅是高雅的，更重要的，它是
民主的。

【解析】根據(jù)題干，考生可鎖定文章的第一段。倫敦人買(mǎi)得多的是報(bào)紙、雜志和平裝書(shū)，有時(shí)也會(huì)買(mǎi)硬皮書(shū)。但相比較而言，硬皮書(shū)買(mǎi)的少。
2. 【答案】A

Section A
11.M: Hills, are you going to Jack s party tonight? Maybe I can give you a ride.
W: Thanks, Tom. I d like to go for a change, but I have my history exam tomorrow
morning.
Q: What will the woman probably do tonight?
C【解析】選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于某人的動(dòng)作行為。男士邀請(qǐng)女士去參加Jack 的宴會(huì)；女士表示感謝，但用but 表達(dá)了自己真正要做的事情：明天上午有歷史考試。從中可判斷女士要復(fù)習(xí)歷史。

M: You said it! We ve never had so many factories before.

13.W: Lots of people enjoy dancing in the ball. Why not go dancing with me? I thinkit s the most interesting thing in the world.
M： Believe it or not, that is the last thing I d ever want to do.

14.W: Jean really lost her temper in Dr. Brown s class this morning. We were allshocked by her aggressiveness.
M: Oh. did she? But I think her frankness is really something to be appreciated.
Q: What does the man mean?

15.M: I thought you were going to call me last night about the plans for the conferenceon language teaching.
W: Sorry, I should have, but Tom and Jane stopped by and stayed until midnight.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

16.M: Your son certainly shows a lot of enthusiasm on the tennis court. He talked
like a professional.
W: I only wish he d show as much for his studies.
Q: What does the woman imply about her son?
D【解析】選項(xiàng)是對(duì)某位男士的看法。男士說(shuō)：你兒子在球場(chǎng)真有激情，像個(gè)專(zhuān)業(yè)人士；女士使用了虛擬語(yǔ)氣：我希望他在學(xué)習(xí)上同樣有激情。虛擬語(yǔ)氣告訴考生，他在學(xué)習(xí)上并沒(méi)有太
用功。
17.W: How come Jim lost his job?
M: I didn t say he had lost it. All I said was if he didn t get out and started
selling a few cars instead of idling around all day, he might not find himself looking
for a new job.
Q: What does the man say about Jim?

并沒(méi)有失業(yè)，他說(shuō)，如果Jim 現(xiàn)在不開(kāi)始賣(mài)車(chē)，他可能要開(kāi)始找新工作了，暗示Jim 可能被
解雇。選項(xiàng)D 是個(gè)干擾項(xiàng)，目前Jim 并沒(méi)有失業(yè)。
18.W: Jerry, last night we held a discussion in that small room numbered 405 on the
third floor and you were so conspicuous by your absence.
M: Well, I made a mistake about the room number and stayed in room 415 for an hour
waiting.
Q: What can we learn about Jerry?

Conversation Two
W: 【22】We re talking this hour about how and why people might become addictedto the Internet. Dr. James at Maryland University has put together a support groupfor students who find themselves addicted to the Internet. He joins me now from hisoffice in College Park.
M: Thank you very much for inviting me.
W: Is Internet addiction a relatively new thing?
M: Well, some may have been addicted for a while.
W: How does it present itself?
M: Well, some of them have issues like relationship problems, or 【23】problemsmaintaining their grades because they are spending so much time on the Net.
W: But I think the computer is a very positive thing. How do I know when my impulse
to go online will turn me into an Internet addict?
M: Uh...I m not sure the exact amount of time is really the issue, 【24】but I think
if it begins to affect other areas of your life, such as your work or school performance.
One of the problems with the Internet, is that people start losing some of the skillsthat make relationships successful. If you are beginning to feel anxious or depressedor empty or lonely and you know you really look forward to those times when you canbe online to be connected with other people in that way, then, a serious issue isstarting to happen.
W: What if you start giving up other things, like going out for a walk...is that a
symptom?
M: 【25】Well, I think it s helpful to have some sort of balance in your life. Ifyou can, spend some time on the Internet and then go out and take a walk.
W: So that s how we can avoid Internet addiction. Thank you very much, Dr.James.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22.What is the interview mainly about?
D【解析】選項(xiàng)用四個(gè)名詞表示話(huà)題。聽(tīng)力對(duì)話(huà)一開(kāi)始，女士就講到了今天的話(huà)題，討論了網(wǎng)癮的問(wèn)題。所以選項(xiàng)D 為正確答案。
23.Why do Internet addicts have difficulty maintaining their grades?
B【解析】選項(xiàng)表示原因。聽(tīng)力對(duì)話(huà)隨后講到，有網(wǎng)癮的學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)不好，原因在于他們了太多時(shí)間在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上。
24.Which of the following is a symptom of Internet addiction?

Section B
Passage One
The diamond is considered the most famous and valuable jewel in the world. A diamondis a symbol of wealth．
Diamonds were made as a result of great volcanic heat and pressure．A volcano is amountain with a hole on the top. A volcano can be very dangerous because when it isactive it sometimes explodes and causes great damage.
【26】Diamonds were pushed towards the surface of the earth — millions of yearsgo by a number of great volcanic explosions. 【27】It is in the narrow volcanic pipes that diamonds are found. They are also found among the sand and stones of certain river beds, and in a few places on the floor of the sea. For they were washed down
the mountain sides by the rain.
【28】Diamonds are very rare. There are not many diamond pipes or diamond producing
rivers in the world．During the last century adventurers from Europe went to Brazil,
because they had heard that there were diamonds in the River Amazon. Many of these
early diamond miners died of illness or were lost forever in the great forests. But
some returned home rich. They were lucky enough to enjoy their lives.
【28】 The earliest known diamonds were found in India many centuries ago. The most
recent and exciting discoveries have been made in eastern Russia. But most of the
world s diamonds now come from Congo, from Tanzania — which has the largest diamond
mine in the world and from South Africa.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26.Which of the following is mentioned by the speaker?

熱量和壓力，接下來(lái)說(shuō)，火山爆發(fā)把鉆石推向了地球表面。
27.According to the passage, where did diamonds first come into existence?
A【解析】選項(xiàng)表示地點(diǎn)。聽(tīng)力篇章接下來(lái)講，可以在火山縫隙中發(fā)現(xiàn)鉆石，也可在河床上發(fā)
現(xiàn)。由此可以判斷A 為正確選項(xiàng)。
28.What do you think is the best title for this passage?
A【解析】從選項(xiàng)的拼寫(xiě)方式，可以推斷問(wèn)題可能是文章的題目。聽(tīng)力篇章開(kāi)篇講到鉆石形成
的原因，接著講到鉆石出現(xiàn)的地方，后提及鉆石量多的地方。所以文章的主旨為鉆石的
形成和發(fā)現(xiàn)。
Passage Two
Recently, a man who was always in good health, spent a week in bed with severe flu.
The previous week, he and his wife separated. 【30】It seems his unusual ill health
was connected with his bad feeling.
Humans have long been aware that our health is linked with our thought, emotions and
relationships. Now science is catching up with our suspicion. A new field of
scientific investigation has developed. 【29】It s the study of how our thoughts
and feelings work with our immune and nervous systems．
There are already researchers at medical schools who are devoted to the study. They
are discovering surprising connections between mind and body. One researcher has been
working with breast cancer patients. She has been looking at the mental factors in
their illness and treatment. 【31】She has discovered that women who did not like
to talk about the emotions created by their illness had more chance of dying in five
years after treatment. Of a group of 52 patients, 16 women died. All 16 women had
said they usually found it difficult to talk to people about their illness. So, simply
speaking, it is bad for your health to keep negative feeling inside you. You need
to talk about them to your family and friends.
Other research shows that stress really can make you sick. People who lead stressful
lives are more likely to fall ill with colds and flus and other illnesses. But, if
you have lots of good quality relationships with family and friends in your life,
then you are less likely to fall ill, even though the circumstance of your life might
be difficult.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29.What is this passage mainly about?
B【解析】選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于疾病方面的內(nèi)容。聽(tīng)力篇章中講到，人們很早就意識(shí)到健康和我們的思
想聯(lián)系緊密。而現(xiàn)在發(fā)展了新的學(xué)科，研究人類(lèi)的想法和感覺(jué)如何影響免疫和神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)。
30.Why did the man suffer the worst illness in his life?
B【解析】選項(xiàng)表示原因。聽(tīng)力篇章一開(kāi)始以一名男士為例，他和妻子分居了，隨后一周就感
冒了，似乎他的病和自己的糟糕感覺(jué)有關(guān)系。由此可以判斷他得病的原因是他情緒不好。
31.What is the difference between the breast cancer patients according to the passage?
C【解析】選項(xiàng)關(guān)于哪一類(lèi)人活得久一點(diǎn)。聽(tīng)力篇章中間講到一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)，其結(jié)論是不喜歡和家
人討論病情以及自己感受的人，接受治療后五年內(nèi)死的可能性更大，接著列舉了一些數(shù)字。
從中可以判斷，喜歡討論自己病情以及感受的人可以活更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。
Passage Three
When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for a one year stay, they did
not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished
apartment or to buy used furniture. 【35】But they soon learned about a new system
that more and more people are using. 【32】The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables,
dishes, and so on) has become one of America s fastest growing business.
【35】What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People
who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline
workers, young married couples — people whose job or business may force them to move
frequently from one city to another. 【33】They are saved a lot of trouble and the
cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they
reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap
furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money
to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality
furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented
furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things.
【34】But usually people don t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting
home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might
think.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32.Which of the following has become one of America s fastest growing businesses?
D【解析】選項(xiàng)表示某種做法。聽(tīng)力篇章第一段提及現(xiàn)在美國(guó)越來(lái)越流行的業(yè)務(wù)，那就是租家
具。
33.Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?
C【解析】根據(jù)上題，考生可推測(cè)此題問(wèn)題有可能是租家具的原因。聽(tīng)力篇章第二段總結(jié)了家具的原因，可以節(jié)省麻煩，還可以省錢(qián)。選項(xiàng)B 只談到了其中一個(gè)原因。
34.What can you infer from the passage?
B【解析】文章后一段以一個(gè)家庭為例，他們很喜歡租的家具，但是卻不愿意告訴別人家具是租來(lái)的，因?yàn)檫@種做法比較新，他們不確定鄰居會(huì)怎么想。從此可以判斷，在這對(duì)夫妻的家鄉(xiāng)，這種觀(guān)點(diǎn)并不流行。
35.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
B【解析】從選項(xiàng)的拼寫(xiě)方式，考生可推斷問(wèn)題可能是文章的題目。聽(tīng)力篇章一開(kāi)始，講到租家具在美國(guó)流行開(kāi)來(lái)，第二段談及流行的原因，后講到這種新穎的方式在某些地方并不流行。這三段圍繞同一個(gè)主線(xiàn)展開(kāi)，那就是：新穎的獲得家具的方式。

原文精譯
他是美國(guó)歷第一位擁有MBA 的總統(tǒng)，他喜歡炫耀自己的商業(yè)背景，他的總統(tǒng)競(jìng)選大戰(zhàn)從各大公司口袋里招募的資金，數(shù)目前所未見(jiàn)，首席執(zhí)行官充斥著他的內(nèi)閣。喬治·布什認(rèn)為，執(zhí)行官違背信譽(yù)，濫用權(quán)力，這破壞了對(duì)美國(guó)商業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人誠(chéng)實(shí)的信心。當(dāng)今時(shí)代，在個(gè)人責(zé)任感方面，商業(yè)社會(huì)需要新的道德準(zhǔn)則。他將“結(jié)束作假賬、隱瞞真相、違反法律的時(shí)代”。僅僅幾個(gè)月前，認(rèn)為喬治·布什將公開(kāi)痛斥美國(guó)公司老總的想法是很可笑的。作為候選
人，他出生在經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮期，當(dāng)時(shí)股市經(jīng)歷了前所未有的長(zhǎng)達(dá)18 年的牛市，他趁機(jī)利用了美國(guó)公司的成功?，F(xiàn)在情況不一樣了。股票市場(chǎng)的泡沫破碎了，盡管有經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇的跡象，華爾街看起來(lái)依然低迷。美國(guó)野心勃勃的公司，如Enron, Xerox， Tyco, Global Crossing，直到近的World Com，都出現(xiàn)了一系列的丑聞，很大程度上影響了公眾情緒。
要求改革的政治壓力越來(lái)越大，對(duì)布什總統(tǒng)的壓力也越來(lái)越大。【52】這位企業(yè)家總統(tǒng)真的準(zhǔn)備好與商業(yè)較量，嚴(yán)厲推行改革嗎？雖然在紐約他緊咬牙關(guān)，語(yǔ)氣堅(jiān)決，但很有可能他
不會(huì)推行改革。布什總統(tǒng)認(rèn)為，目前的危機(jī)來(lái)源于首席行政官中為數(shù)不多的幾個(gè)壞家伙，而不是因?yàn)檎麄€(gè)制度。所以他的重心是加重對(duì)腐敗企業(yè)家的懲罰，呼吁更高的道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn)?？偨y(tǒng)

基本沒(méi)有提到如何加強(qiáng)股票所有者的權(quán)利，更沒(méi)有涉及參議院提出的要求企業(yè)改革的議案?；緵](méi)有跡象表明清理美國(guó)企業(yè)可以吸引選民。民意調(diào)查顯示，美國(guó)人對(duì)他們的商業(yè)領(lǐng)
導(dǎo)基本沒(méi)有信心，但政客似乎沒(méi)有受到影響。【54】布什總統(tǒng)的支持率明顯下降，但還有很多人支持他?！?5】因此，總統(tǒng)只需要語(yǔ)言堅(jiān)決就可以了。僅僅這個(gè)舉動(dòng)就能說(shuō)服一般的美國(guó)民眾——他們認(rèn)為總統(tǒng)對(duì)這件事很上心?！?6】經(jīng)濟(jì)回暖，眾怒平息，對(duì)變革的呼聲會(huì)漸漸緩和下來(lái)。民主攻擊將失敗，影響深遠(yuǎn)的改革議案，還沒(méi)有成為法律就被沖淡了。從政治學(xué)上講，這場(chǎng)賭博有意義?！?6】但遺憾的是，對(duì)美國(guó)的資本主義來(lái)講，這會(huì)錯(cuò)失一個(gè)絕好的機(jī)會(huì)。
52.【答案】A
【解析】本題是個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干，考生可鎖定文章的第三段。段首講到：這位企業(yè)家
總統(tǒng)真的準(zhǔn)備好與商業(yè)較量，嚴(yán)厲推行改革嗎？雖然在紐約他緊咬牙關(guān)，語(yǔ)氣堅(jiān)決，但很有
可能他不會(huì)推行改革。由此可以判斷，他無(wú)意推行改革。
53.【答案】B
【解析】本題是個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。選項(xiàng)B 出現(xiàn)在文章的第三段。段尾講，如果因經(jīng)濟(jì)欺詐而
坐牢，將使長(zhǎng)的刑期加倍，從5 年增加到10 年。由此可以判斷商業(yè)欺詐長(zhǎng)的刑期是5
年。
54.【答案】C
【解析】本題是個(gè)建立在細(xì)節(jié)上的推理題。選項(xiàng)C 出現(xiàn)在文章的第四段。段末講，Mr. Bush
的支持率明顯下降，但還有很多人支持他。這說(shuō)明Mr. Bush 的支持率雖有下降，但還是很高。
55.【答案】D
【解析】本題是個(gè)推理題。文章的后一段講，隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)回暖，對(duì)改革的呼聲會(huì)越來(lái)越弱。
但對(duì)美國(guó)的資本主義來(lái)講，卻錯(cuò)失了個(gè)好機(jī)會(huì)。從中可以看出，作者是很希望改革的，他是
贊同改革的。
56.【答案】A
【解析】本題是個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)分析題。文章的后一句話(huà)提到“將會(huì)錯(cuò)失絕好的機(jī)會(huì)”，這個(gè)機(jī)
會(huì)往回指改革議案。所以A 為正確選項(xiàng)。

總理馬哈蒂爾。【60】他很想創(chuàng)造“咆哮的老虎”這樣一個(gè)國(guó)際形象，但近聽(tīng)起來(lái)卻更像一

這種反應(yīng)削減了他因開(kāi)明領(lǐng)導(dǎo)而剛剛贏得的尊重。
57.【答案】B
【解析】本題是個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)題干，考生可鎖定文章的第一段。段中講，美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)
霸權(quán)神話(huà)，為東南亞政治領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人提供了有利條件。段末以馬哈蒂爾為例，只要給機(jī)會(huì)，他就
會(huì)譴責(zé)西方的邪惡。所以，馬哈蒂爾利用譴責(zé)西方的行為來(lái)獲取政治利益。
58.【答案】D
【解析】本題是個(gè)建立在細(xì)節(jié)上的推斷題。選項(xiàng)D 出現(xiàn)在文章的第三段。馬來(lái)西亞等亞洲
國(guó)家的經(jīng)濟(jì)難題，如大量赤字、低儲(chǔ)蓄、負(fù)債率等，都和經(jīng)濟(jì)過(guò)熱有關(guān)系。由此可以推斷，
這些問(wèn)題，部分是因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)過(guò)熱。

措施，至少暗示他已意識(shí)到自己政府的過(guò)度支出導(dǎo)致了這場(chǎng)信心危機(jī)。從中判斷這句話(huà)實(shí)際
上削弱了他的可信度，即原文所謂的信心危機(jī)。
60.【答案】A
【解析】本題是個(gè)建立在細(xì)節(jié)上的推斷題?？忌枰紤]整篇文章的基調(diào)，文章第一段作
者說(shuō)：他很想創(chuàng)造“咆哮的老虎”這樣一個(gè)國(guó)際形象，但近聽(tīng)起來(lái)卻更像一條在影子里喘
息的看家狗；第二段中講，具體來(lái)講，近菲律賓和泰國(guó)貨幣貶值，對(duì)馬來(lái)西亞貨幣帶來(lái)壓
力，這激發(fā)了馬哈蒂爾的靈感，讓他全面攻擊西方，認(rèn)為西方是問(wèn)題的根源。其中用到了“激
發(fā)某人的靈感”表示諷刺；文章后說(shuō)，結(jié)果是，他的這種反應(yīng)削減了他因開(kāi)明領(lǐng)導(dǎo)而剛剛
贏得的尊重。從作者的用詞可以看出，這篇文章基調(diào)諷刺，有偏見(jiàn)。
61.【答案】D
【解析】本題是個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。考生首先要注意語(yǔ)法搭配，which 后面用到動(dòng)詞原形
include，所以which 所指代的主語(yǔ)應(yīng)該是個(gè)名詞復(fù)數(shù)，承前指代前面的serious issues。 Part ⅤCloze
原文精譯
上流社會(huì)只占人口的三分之一，卻創(chuàng)造了整個(gè)國(guó)家財(cái)富的25%。這個(gè)階層分兩部分：上流中的上層，上流中的下層?；旧?，上流中的上層，指的是“老富豪” ——都是富裕了好幾代的家族 ——出身尊貴，富甲一方。有一些家族家喻戶(hù)曉，如洛克菲勒家族和范德畢特家族。大部分家族一般民眾并不知曉。他們和社會(huì)的其他人沒(méi)什么關(guān)系，靠繼承的財(cái)產(chǎn)的投資而獲取收入。相反，上流中的下層是“新富豪”，盡管他們比老富豪富有，但他們和低于這個(gè)階層的其他人一樣，對(duì)于賺錢(qián)貪得無(wú)厭。因此，一般來(lái)講，他們的地位要比老富豪低，老富豪認(rèn)為沒(méi)有必要努力賺錢(qián)，也看不起新富豪。不管他們是如何賺錢(qián)的，上流社會(huì)很富有。他們有足夠的金錢(qián)和時(shí)間來(lái)培養(yǎng)藝術(shù)方面的愛(ài)好，來(lái)收集稀有的書(shū)籍和畫(huà)作。一般來(lái)講，他們住在固定的區(qū)域，參加固定的社交俱樂(lè)部，互相交流，和門(mén)當(dāng)戶(hù)對(duì)的人結(jié)婚，這些都讓他們遠(yuǎn)離人民大眾，被稱(chēng)作“貴族階級(jí)”。與其他階層相比，他們更傾向于成為某一階級(jí)的成員。因?yàn)槎嗍钦吖伲麄冊(cè)趪?guó)內(nèi)外都有很大權(quán)勢(shì)和影響力，他們的行為影響著成千上萬(wàn)人的生活。
62.【答案】D
【解析】上文提及上流社會(huì)，分為“上流中的上層，上流中的下層”，接著講到上流中的上層包括哪些人。選項(xiàng)D 中的basically，意為“基本上，大體上”。
63.【答案】B
【解析】這是個(gè)相對(duì)固定的搭配，a nobility of birth，意為“出身高貴”。
64.【答案】A
【解析】上文提及很少一部分家族全國(guó)聞名，但大部分富豪人們并不知曉。選項(xiàng)B、C、D強(qiáng)調(diào)“明顯，顯而易見(jiàn)”，而visible 強(qiáng)調(diào)“看得見(jiàn)，能被他人看到”。
65.【答案】D
【解析】選項(xiàng)是對(duì)四個(gè)名詞的考查。選項(xiàng)A 中的contact 意為“接觸”；選項(xiàng)B 中的association 意為“結(jié)合，交往，協(xié)會(huì)”；選項(xiàng)C 中的communication 意為“交流，流通”選項(xiàng)D 中的relation 意為“關(guān)系，聯(lián)系”。
66.【答案】C
【解析】本題是個(gè)動(dòng)賓搭配。能和后面介詞from 連用的動(dòng)詞有選項(xiàng)A 中的pull 和選項(xiàng)C中的draw，pull 意為“把„„往外拉”，draw 原意為“提取”，這里指“取錢(qián)，提款”。
67.【答案】B
【解析】這是個(gè)固定搭配，by contrast 意為“相反”。
68.【答案】A
【解析】考生要確定前后兩句話(huà)之間的關(guān)系，然后選擇合適的連詞。前一句意為“他們比老富豪還要富有”，后半句意為“他們還在拼命賺錢(qián)”，所以?xún)删渲g是讓步關(guān)系“盡管„„
還”。
69.【答案】A
【解析】此空前面的一句話(huà)講，他們比老富豪還富有，此句講他們?nèi)匀辉谂嶅X(qián)。從此可以判斷他們對(duì)金錢(qián)的態(tài)度是永不嫌多。選項(xiàng)A 中g(shù)reedy 意為“貪婪的”。
70.【答案】B
【解析】此句意為“他們和比自己地位低的其他所有人一樣，努力賺錢(qián)”，所以選擇代詞
everybody。
71.【答案】C
【解析】前一句講，新富豪與比自己地位低的人一樣，拼命賺錢(qián)；后面講老富豪看不起新富豪，邏輯上應(yīng)該是因果關(guān)系，所以選Thus.
72.【答案】D
【解析】根據(jù)整句話(huà)，尤其通過(guò)后面的定語(yǔ)從句，可判斷老富豪是看不起新富豪的。盡管新富豪很富有，地位卻沒(méi)有老富豪高。選項(xiàng)B 和選項(xiàng)D 都表示地位低，但B 中的inferior
常和介詞to 連用。
73.【答案】D
【解析】此空是對(duì)動(dòng)詞的考查。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是常用的簡(jiǎn)單動(dòng)詞，這里表達(dá)老富豪的一種傾向，所以選擇動(dòng)詞tend。
74.【答案】C
【解析】此空是對(duì)動(dòng)賓搭配的考查。表示“獲取財(cái)富”，使用動(dòng)詞acquire。

76.【答案】A
【解析】上流社會(huì)的另一大愛(ài)好是收集書(shū)籍和畫(huà)作，所以選擇動(dòng)詞collect。
77.【答案】A
【解析】考生要根據(jù)上文選擇此空。上文講，他們住在特定的區(qū)域，參加特定的社交活動(dòng)，和特定的人交流，和門(mén)當(dāng)戶(hù)對(duì)的人結(jié)婚，因而和人民大眾的距離比較遠(yuǎn)。所以選擇A 中的distant，表示“和某人有距離”。
78.【答案】B
【解析】本題考查固定搭配。be conscious of 意為“意識(shí)到”。選項(xiàng)A 中的doubtful 常和about 連用，表示“懷疑的，不確定的”；選項(xiàng)C 中sensitive 常和to 連用，意為“都„„很敏感”；選項(xiàng)D 中sensible 常用事情做主語(yǔ)，句子結(jié)構(gòu)為sth. is sensible to sb.，意
為“某人覺(jué)得某事很合理”。
79.【答案】D

為“抓住機(jī)會(huì)”；選項(xiàng)D 中的sustain 意為“承受，支持”。
81.【答案】B
【解析】此空聯(lián)系上文，他們擔(dān)任政府要職，所以他們的行為影響了其他很多人的生活。選項(xiàng)C 中effect 作為名詞，意為“效果”。

Entertainment in London
Buying Books
Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazinesand even of books especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spiteof ever increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy“proper” books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book selling.Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London.
Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one whichboasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens time. Many of them specialize insecond hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books of philosophy, politicsor any other of the various subjects about which books may be written. One shop inthis area specializes solely in books about ballet!
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing CrossRoad is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second hand volumes, the collectormust venture off the busy and crowded roads, to Farringdon Road in the East Centraldistrict of London. Here there is nothing so grand as bookshops. Instead, thebooksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to barrows(推車(chē)) which line the gutters(貧民區(qū)). And the collectors, some professional and someamateur, who have been waiting for them, pounce towards the sellers. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may beworth many pounds.
Both Charing Cross Road and Farringdon Road are well known places of the book buyer.Yet all over London there are bookshops, in places not so well known, where the booksare equally varied and exciting. It is in the sympathetic atmosphere of such shopsthat the loyal book buyer feels most at home. In these shops, even the life longbook browser is frequently rewarded by the accidental discovery of previously
unknown delights. One could, in fact, easily spend a lifetime exploring London s bookshops. There are many less pleasant ways of spending time!
Going to the Theatre
London is very rich in theatres: there are over forty in the West End alone — morethan enough to ensure that there will always be at least two or three shows running to suit every kind taste, whether serious or lighthearted.
Some of them are specialist theatres. The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, where the great opera singers of the world can be heard, is the home of opera and the RoyalBallet. The London Coliseum now houses the English National Opera Company, which encourages English singers in particular and performs most operas in English at
popular prices.
Some theatres concentrate on the classics and serious drama, some on light comedy,some on musicals. Most theatres have a personality of their own, from the old, suchas the Theatre Royal (also called the “Haymarket”) in the Haymarket, to the moremodern such as the recently opened Baibican centre in the city. The National Theatrehas three separate theatres in its new building by Waterloo Bridge. At the new Barbicancentre the Royal Shakespeare Company has their London home — their other centre isat Stratford-on-Avon.
Most of the old London theatres are concentrated in a very small area, within astone s throw of the Piccadilly and Leicester Square tube stations. As the eveningperformances normally begin either at seven thirty or eight p.m., there is a kindof minor rush hour between seven fifteen and eight o clock in this district.
People stream out of the nearby tube stations, the pavements are crowded, and taxisand private cars maneuver into position as they drop theatre goers outside theentrance to each theatre. There is another minor rush hour when the performancefinishes. The theatre in London is very popular and it is not always easy to get into see a successful play.
Before World War Ⅱ, theatre performances began later and a visit to the theatrewas a more formal occasion. Nowadays very few people “dress” for the theatre (thatis, wear formal evening dress) except for first nights or an important performance.The times of performance were put forward during the war and have not been put back.
The existing times make the question of eating a rather tricky problem: one has tohave either early dinner or late supper. Many restaurants in “theatreland” easethe situation by catering specially for early or late dinners.
Television and the difficulty of financing plays have helped to close many theatres.
But it seems that the worst of the situation is now over and that the theatre, aftera period of decline, is about to pick up again. Although some quite large provincial
towns do not have a professional theatre, there are others, such as Nottingham, Hull,Coventry or Newcastle, which have excellent companies and where a series of playsare performed during one season by a resident group of actors. Some towns such asChichester or Edinburgh have theatres which give summer seasons. Even in small townsa number of theatres have been built in the last few years to cater for the localpopulation.
Music in Britain
It is debatable whether the tastes of kings reflect those of their subjects.
However, three English monarchs certainly shared their people s linking for music.Richard Ⅰ(1157 1199), the “Lionheart”, composed songs that he sang with hismusician, Blondel. It is said that when the king was a prisoner in Austria, Blondelfound him by singing a song known only to him and the king, who took up the tune inthe tower of the castle in which he was secretly imprisoned. Henry Ⅷ (1491 1547),notorious for his six wives, was a skilled musician and some of his songs are stillknown and sung. Queen Victoria (1819 1901) and her husband, Prince Albert, delightedin singing ballads. The great composer and pianist Felix Mendelssohn (1809 1847)was a welcome guest at their court, where he would accompany the Queen and the Princewhen they sang.
The British love of music is often unfamiliar to foreigners, probably because thereare few renowned British composers. The most famous is Henry Purcell (1658 1695),whose opera “Dido and Aeneas” is a classic. The rousing marching song “Lillibulero”attributed to Purcell, now used by BBC as an identification signal preceding OverseasService news bulletins, was said to have “sung James Ⅱ out of three kingdoms” whenhe fled from Britain in 1688. Sir Edward Elgar (1857 1934) is known for his choraland orchestral works, some of which have been made more widely known by the famous
violinist Yehudi Menuhin. Benjamin Britten (1913 1976), a composer with a verypersonal style, has become world famous for such operatic works as “Peter Grimes”and “Billy Budd”. Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 1958) was deeply influenced byEnglish folk music, as is shown by his variations on the old tune “Green sleeves”(which most people consider a folk song). In recent years there has been a greatrevival of folk music, and groups specializing in its performance have sprung up allover Britain. This phenomenon has its roots in the work of Cecil Sharp (1859 1924),who collected folk songs and dances.Present-day concern with music is shown by the existence of something like a hundredsummer schools in music, which cater for all grades of musicians, from the merebeginner to the skilled performer. These schools, where a friendly atmosphere reigns,provide courses lasting from a weekend to three or four weeks, and cover a wide range,from medieval and classical music to rock and roll and pop. There are alsoimportant musical festivals in towns such as Aldeburgh, Bath, and Cheltenham. Popmusic festivals draw thousands of people, especially young people. In the greatcities there are resident world famous orchestras and from all over the world great performers come to play or sing in Britain. In many towns there are brass bands, andthe players are often such people as miners or members of the local fire brigade,for music in Britain is not just an elegant interest, it is above all democratic.

Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
Addison Heard uses an image of his wife and infant son for the background on his laptop.
An MBA student at the University of Virginia s Darden School of Business, Heardthinks about his family constantly. But because he s away at B school, he hasexperienced much of his son s first year via phone calls and digital photos. Says
Heard, “It has been particularly hard, not being there with them every day. ”
This was his family s choice. It didn t make financial sense for his wife, Eden,a corporate lawyer in Washington, to quit her job, sell their condo(公寓), and move
to Charlotterville with her husband. So he went alone. In his first Year each spouse
made the 200 mile round trip commute on alternate weekends. Since their son wasborn last May, Addison has been doing most of the driving.
As complicated as the Heard s situation seems, it isn t all that rare. Inany year, hundreds of couples deal with how to handle the family logistics(后勤工
作) of going to B school. Some choose a long distance relationship, commutingback and forth on weekends and breaks. Others see partners and children only on
vacations and holidays. Still others pack up the family and bring them along.
Being apart hasn t been easy, but the Heards have made it work. On weekends whenthe couple is in Virginia, they attend social events, so she can feel a part of the
community. Heard also avoids Friday classes to gain more family time. “We ve gotten
into a routine that works,” he says, “but I m looking forward to being home, so
the three of us can be a family. ”
Any long distance commute puts pressure on a relationship, causing some couplesto drift apart. Being thrown in a rigorous academic schedule for one spouse and a
demanding career for the other, the stress intensifies, often distracting studentsfrom their studies.
Some schools offer students in these situations a good deal of support. For farawayspouses, there are on campus social events when they visit, online communities,even involvement in alumni networks in their home cities. But mainly B schools tryto make it easier for students to take their partners along for the ride. They helpfamilies find housing, preschools, or local employment.
The decision to attend a distant B school is fraught(伴隨著的) with financialand logistical problems. Students also must decide if their families should stay orgo. Either way, schools try to accommodate them. “We have more than ourselves tothink about,” an MBA student, Cory Hrncirik says. “It s a family influenced
choice. ”
Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
47. Heard will come into contact with his son in his first year via.
48. Before his son was born, in order to meet each other, Addison made the 200
mile round trip commute.
49. The way that Addison continues his study will make the other.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by somequestions 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 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
There he was America s first President with an MBA, the man who loves to boast abouthis business background, whose presidential campaign raised unprecedented sums from
corporate wallets and whose cabinet is stuffed with chief executives. Faith in theintegrity of American business leaders was being undermined(破壞), George Bush said
fiercely, by executives “breaching trust and abusing power”. It was time for “anew ethic of personal responsibility in the business community”. He was going to“end the days of cooking the books, shading the truth and breaking our laws”.Only months ago, the idea that George W Bush would publicly lambaste America scooperate bosses was laughable. As a candidate, born on the wave of a decade longeconomic boom and an unprecedented 18 year bull market, he cashed in on American
s love affair with corporate success. But things are different now. The stock marketbubble has burst and, despite signs of economic recovery. Wall Street seems to besunk in gloom. A string of scandals at some of America s most high flying firms—including Enron, Xerox, Tyco, Global Crossing and most recently, World Com hasradically changed the public mood.
As political pressure for reform increases, so too does the heat on Mr. Bush. Isthe businessman s president really prepared to take business on and push hard forreform? Despite the set jaw and aggrieved tone in New York. Probably not. Mr. Bushthinks the current crisis stems from a few bad apple chief executives rather thanthe system as a whole. Hence he focus on tough penalties for corrupt businessmen andhis plea for higher ethical standards. The president announced the creation of afinancial crimes SWAT team, at the Justice Department to root out corporate fraud,and wants to double the maximum prison sentence for financial fraud from five to tenyears. But he offered few concrete suggestions for systemic reforM: little mentionof changes to strengthen shareholders rights, not even an endorsement of the Senatecorporate reform bill.
There are few signs yet that cleaning up corporate America is an issue that animatesthe voters. Polls show that Americans have little faith in their business leaders,but politicians do not seem to be suffering as a result. Mr. Bush s approval ratingshave fallen from their sky highs, but they are still very strong.
The president, therefore, need do no more than talk tough. This alone will convinceordinary Americans that he is on top of the issue. As the economy rebounds and publicoutage subsides, the clamor for change will be quieter. Democratic attacks will fizzle,and far reaching reform bills will be watered down before they become law.
Politically, the gamble makes sense. Unfortunately for American capitalism, a greatopportunity will be missed.
52. We can infer from the third paragraph that Mr. Bush.
A) didn’t intend to take business on and push hard for reform
B) did not do anything at all for the presence of the current situation
C) took shareholders right into account, but he didn t approve reform bill
D) took some measures to pave the way for the reform
53. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) Bush had to offer concrete suggestions for reform as political pressure increase.
B) At present, the maximum prison sentence for financial fraud is five years.
C) It is laughable that Mr. Bush publicly attacked America s corporate bosses.
D) Americans have little faith in their business as well as political leaders.
54. Which of the following statements about Mr. Bush is mentioned in this passage?
A) Mr. Bush is the second President with an MBA in American history.
B) Mr. Bush contributes a lot to decade long economic boom.
C) Mr. Bush s approval ratings are still high.
D) Mr. Bush didn t get support in his presidential campaign.
55. The author’s attitude towards the reform is.
A) indifferent
B) optimistic
C) skeptical
D) favorable
56. The phrase “a great opportunity” mentioned in the last paragraph refers to anopportunity to.
A) carry out reform
B) boom economy
C) animate the voters
D) attack chief executive
Passage Two
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
In recent decades, there is a phenomenon which makes us give some attention; the socalled Southeast Asian “tigers” have rivaled the western “l(fā)ions” for stockcliches that make economic headlines. The myth of American economic hegemony(霸權(quán))over Asia in the imposing and patriarchal figure of Uncle Sam has provided frequentpolitical grist ( 有利) for Southeast Asian political leaders, particularlyMalaysia’s Prime Minister Mahathir. He has attempted to forge an internationalreputation as a snarling tiger, but lately sounds more like a barnyard dog groaningat shadows. Without demeaning in any way the remarkable achievements of the newlydeveloping economies of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, these nations at timesappear to be their own worst enemies. This is often exemplified by Dr. Mahathir, whorails at Western evil whenever an international or domestic crisis provides an
opportunity.
To be more specific, the recent devaluation of the Philippine and Thai currencies,and the subsequent pressure on the Malaysian currency has inspired Dr. Mahathir tolaunch an all out attack on the West as the source of the problem. He even allegesthat the United States has deliberately destabilized Southeast Asian economies inrevenge for these nations, supporting the brutal military rule in Mahathir, an actionwhich the United States seems to want inspected rather than rewarded. But by resortingto such scapegoat (替罪羊), instead of accepting even a bit responsibility, the Prime
Minister may undermine the future success of the region and Malaysia in particular.
Upon further questioning, Dr. Mahathir narrowed his attack to one wealthy individual,
the well-known philanthropist (慈善家), Mr. George Soros, whose opposition to
Myanmar’s admission to ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Mahathir foundparticularity, irritating. The logical mistakes that underlie such conspiracytheories do not help Malaysia address the serious issues of economic overheating thatexperts have been warning about for all these difficult periods, which include largedeficits and low savings to debt ratios. In fact, the recent dramatic drop inMalaysia’s stock market and currency has led Dr. Mahathir to reverse his initialapproach to the crisis. He even announces measures that at least imply he is quiteaware of excesses in his own administration s spending policies that havecontributed to this crisis of confidence. In the end, this kind of reaction underminesthe esteem that Dr. Mahathir s enlightened leadership has justly earned.
57. It is implied in the first paragraph that Dr. Mahathir.
A) has correctly identified the financial problem in Asia
B) tries to manipulate anti Western actions for political gains
C) detests the USA’s controlling over the regional economies
D) believes in the effect of the ghostly influence from the west
58. The author of this essay seems to suggest that.
A) the devaluation of Malaysia s currency is due to the American plot
B) the Asian Crisis is the result of ASEAN pandering to terrorist governments
C) there is not a serious economic problems in Southeast Asia at all
D) the economic problems in some Asian countries is partly the result of theiroverheating economy
59. The author suggests the Dr. Mahathir s comments on the currency problems.
A) prove that he has been a poor leader in general
B) are poor because they weaken his own credibility
C) are sharp in identifying the cause of the problem
D) reveal his keen insight into the complex issue
60. Which of the following is the tone of this essay?
A) Sarcastic and prejudice.
B) Objective and detached.
C) Piercing and indifferent.
D) Impassive and hostile.
61. The relative pronoun “which” in the last paragraph (Line 5) refers to.

范文解析
Nowadays, it seems known to everybody that one of the objectives of China s modernconstruction is to build a harmonious society. All of a sudden, “a harmonious society”has become a frequently used phrase in media news, newspaper etc. It is the trendof China s development.
But what is a harmonious society? In my mind, there are several aspects included inbuilding a harmonious society. First, a harmonious society has democracy in itspolitics to ensure the maximum benefits of the people. Second, a harmonious societyhas equality and justice to protect the rights of every citizen. Third, a harmonioussociety has good faith and friendly relation between people to create a favorableatmosphere for living and doing business. Forth, a harmonious society has energy tomake sure its creativity. Fifth, a harmonious society has stability and order to provide people with a comfortable environment. Sixth, a harmonious society has harmony between humankind and nature for a sustainable development of economy.
To be true, it needs joint efforts of every person in China to realize this great goal. For me, I am a student in college. What I can do is to develop good relations with people around me, help others as much as possible, spread this awareness to as many people as possible, laying a foundation for this tall building.
文章一開(kāi)始就提到目前中國(guó)現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)的目標(biāo)之一，就是構(gòu)建和諧社會(huì)。一時(shí)之間，構(gòu)建和 諧社會(huì)成為中國(guó)發(fā)展的趨勢(shì)。
第二段從六個(gè)方面講述了和諧社會(huì)的內(nèi)涵：1）民主政治，保證人們的大利益；2）公平正義，保證每個(gè)公民的權(quán)利；3）誠(chéng)信友好，為生活和生產(chǎn)提供良好環(huán)境；4）充滿(mǎn)活力，確保社會(huì)的創(chuàng)造力；5）穩(wěn)定有序，保證生活平穩(wěn)安定；6）人與自然和諧相處，實(shí)現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟(jì)可持續(xù)性發(fā)展。

原文精譯
倫敦的娛樂(lè)
買(mǎi)書(shū)
（1）倫敦人很愛(ài)讀書(shū)?！?】他們平時(shí)買(mǎi)很多報(bào)紙，雜志，還有書(shū)籍，尤其是平裝書(shū)。在印刷成本日益增高的今天，平裝書(shū)相對(duì)來(lái)說(shuō)比較便宜。他們始終青睞“合宜”的書(shū)，如紙張
好的硬皮書(shū)。
（2）倫敦許多街道的店鋪專(zhuān)賣(mài)書(shū)?！?】知名的當(dāng)屬倫敦市中心的查令十字街。在這里你可以找到大大小小、各種各樣的書(shū)店，有的書(shū)店，聲稱(chēng)是世界上大的書(shū)店，也有狹小臟亂的小書(shū)屋，看起來(lái)似乎是從狄更斯年代留傳下來(lái)的。其中很多書(shū)店經(jīng)營(yíng)二手書(shū)，涉及的領(lǐng)域有藝術(shù)、國(guó)外作品、哲學(xué)、政治以及其他五花八門(mén)的話(huà)題，其中有個(gè)書(shū)店只賣(mài)關(guān)于芭蕾的書(shū)籍！
（3）查令十字街是倫敦人買(mǎi)書(shū)方便的地方，卻不是便宜的?！?】如果想買(mǎi)真正便宜的二手書(shū)，買(mǎi)家需要離開(kāi)繁忙擁擠的街道，到倫敦東區(qū)法林頓街尋寶。這里沒(méi)有大型的書(shū)店，賣(mài)書(shū)者每天早晨來(lái)，把整麻袋書(shū)放在推車(chē)上沿貧民區(qū)道路排成一線(xiàn)。一直在等他們的買(mǎi)家，有業(yè)余的，也有專(zhuān)業(yè)的，朝這些賣(mài)家奔去。在這些地方，偶爾可以用幾便士買(mǎi)一本舊書(shū)，而其價(jià)值可能是很多英鎊。
（4）查令十字街和法林頓街都是買(mǎi)書(shū)的知名地點(diǎn)。但全倫敦都有書(shū)店，也許地方不太有名，但書(shū)同樣多種多樣，讓人激動(dòng)。這些書(shū)店?duì)I造出來(lái)的共鳴，讓忠誠(chéng)的買(mǎi)家感覺(jué)很舒服。在這些書(shū)店，只是瀏覽書(shū)籍的人也會(huì)經(jīng)常得到意想不到的快樂(lè)。事實(shí)上，人的一生可能都在淘書(shū)。享受時(shí)間，很多方式并沒(méi)有搜書(shū)這么有樂(lè)趣！去劇院
（5）倫敦劇院到處都有：僅僅西區(qū)就超過(guò)40 家，足以保證至少兩到三場(chǎng)演出，可滿(mǎn)足不同興趣的觀(guān)眾，或嚴(yán)肅，或輕松。
（6）【4】有些是專(zhuān)業(yè)劇院，如皇家歌劇院,考文特花園，它們主演歌劇和皇家芭蕾，在這里可以聽(tīng)到世界上偉大的歌劇演員的演出。英國(guó)國(guó)家歌劇公司入住倫敦大劇場(chǎng)，它鼓勵(lì)歌劇演員，特別是本土的演員，用英語(yǔ)表演大部分的歌劇，且符合大眾的價(jià)位。
（7）有些劇院主要上演經(jīng)典作品和嚴(yán)肅戲劇、輕喜劇、音樂(lè)劇。大部分劇院有自己的個(gè)性，老劇院如位于海馬克特的皇家宮廷劇院（也叫做海依市場(chǎng)），現(xiàn)代劇院如近剛開(kāi)的巴比
肯。國(guó)家劇院在滑鐵盧橋旁有三個(gè)獨(dú)立劇院。在新的巴比肯中心，皇家莎士比亞劇團(tuán)在此落腳，其另一中心在埃汶河畔的斯特拉特福。
（8）倫敦大部分老劇院都集中在一個(gè)小區(qū)域，在皮卡迪利大街和萊斯特廣場(chǎng)地鐵之間?！?】晚間表演一般是晚上7:30 或8 點(diǎn)開(kāi)始，這個(gè)區(qū)在7:15 到8 點(diǎn)之間會(huì)有個(gè)小小的高峰期。人們從附近的地鐵蜂擁而出，人行道很擁擠，出租車(chē)、私家車(chē)想方設(shè)法停到位，把看劇的人送到劇場(chǎng)的入口處。表演結(jié)束后也是個(gè)小高峰期。倫敦的劇院很流行，想進(jìn)去看一場(chǎng)成功的表演并不很容易。
（9）二戰(zhàn)前，劇院表演開(kāi)始的要晚一點(diǎn)，去看戲是很正式的一件事?，F(xiàn)在，很少有人特意為看戲穿正裝（也就是說(shuō)，穿正式的晚禮服），除非是第看或表演非常重要?！?】戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)期間，表演時(shí)間提前，直到現(xiàn)在也保持原樣。目前的演出時(shí)間讓吃飯成為相當(dāng)棘手的問(wèn)題：需要早一點(diǎn)吃晚飯或晚間吃宵夜。劇院附近的飯店提供早一點(diǎn)的晚飯或晚上的夜宵，緩解了這種狀況。
（10）【7】電視的普及和演出經(jīng)費(fèi)拮據(jù)致使很多劇院倒閉。但看起來(lái)糟的情況已經(jīng)結(jié)束，蕭條一段時(shí)間之后，劇院開(kāi)始復(fù)興。有些大城鎮(zhèn)沒(méi)有專(zhuān)業(yè)劇院，但其他一些城鎮(zhèn)如諾丁漢、赫爾、考文垂、紐卡斯?fàn)?，有很不錯(cuò)的司，每一季都有一批演員表演一系列的戲劇。有些城鎮(zhèn)如奇切斯特、愛(ài)丁堡的劇院，夏季會(huì)有演出季。即使在小城鎮(zhèn)，過(guò)去幾年內(nèi)也已建了一批劇院來(lái)滿(mǎn)足當(dāng)?shù)厝藗兊男枨?。英?guó)音樂(lè)

用功。
17.W: How come Jim lost his job?

If you are beginning to feel anxious or depressedor empty or lonely and you know you really look forward to those times when you canbe online to be connected with other people in that way, then, a serious issue isstarting to happen.
W: What if you start giving up other things, like going out for a walk...is that a
symptom?
M: 【25】Well, I think it s helpful to have some sort of balance in your life. Ifyou can, spend some time on the Internet and then go out and take a walk.

Section B
Passage One
The diamond is considered the most famous and valuable jewel in the world. A diamondis a symbol of wealth．
Diamonds were made as a result of great volcanic heat and pressure．A volcano is amountain with a hole on the top. A volcano can be very dangerous because when it isactive it sometimes explodes and causes great damage.
【26】Diamonds were pushed towards the surface of the earth — millions of yearsgo by a number of great volcanic explosions. 【27】It is in the narrow volcanic pipes that diamonds are found. They are also found among the sand and stones of certain river beds, and in a few places on the floor of the sea. For they were washed down
the mountain sides by the rain.
【28】Diamonds are very rare. There are not many diamond pipes or diamond producing
rivers in the world．During the last century adventurers from Europe went to Brazil,
because they had heard that there were diamonds in the River Amazon. Many of these
early diamond miners died of illness or were lost forever in the great forests. But
some returned home rich. They were lucky enough to enjoy their lives.
【28】 The earliest known diamonds were found in India many centuries ago. The most
recent and exciting discoveries have been made in eastern Russia. But most of the
world s diamonds now come from Congo, from Tanzania — which has the largest diamond
mine in the world and from South Africa.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26.Which of the following is mentioned by the speaker?
C【解析】選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于鉆石出現(xiàn)的地方。聽(tīng)力篇章一開(kāi)始，講到鉆石的出現(xiàn)是因?yàn)榛鹕奖l(fā)的

27.According to the passage, where did diamonds first come into existence?
A【解析】選項(xiàng)表示地點(diǎn)。聽(tīng)力篇章接下來(lái)講，可以在火山縫隙中發(fā)現(xiàn)鉆石，也可在河床上發(fā)
現(xiàn)。由此可以判斷A 為正確選項(xiàng)。
28.What do you think is the best title for this passage?
A【解析】從選項(xiàng)的拼寫(xiě)方式，可以推斷問(wèn)題可能是文章的題目。聽(tīng)力篇章開(kāi)篇講到鉆石形成
的原因，接著講到鉆石出現(xiàn)的地方，后提及鉆石量多的地方。所以文章的主旨為鉆石的
形成和發(fā)現(xiàn)。
Passage Two
Recently, a man who was always in good health, spent a week in bed with severe flu.
The previous week, he and his wife separated. 【30】It seems his unusual ill health
was connected with his bad feeling.
Humans have long been aware that our health is linked with our thought, emotions and
relationships. Now science is catching up with our suspicion. A new field of
scientific investigation has developed. 【29】It s the study of how our thoughts
and feelings work with our immune and nervous systems．
There are already researchers at medical schools who are devoted to the study. They
are discovering surprising connections between mind and body. One researcher has been
working with breast cancer patients. She has been looking at the mental factors in
their illness and treatment. 【31】She has discovered that women who did not like
to talk about the emotions created by their illness had more chance of dying in five
years after treatment. Of a group of 52 patients, 16 women died. All 16 women had
said they usually found it difficult to talk to people about their illness. So, simply
speaking, it is bad for your health to keep negative feeling inside you. You need
to talk about them to your family and friends.
Other research shows that stress really can make you sick. People who lead stressful
lives are more likely to fall ill with colds and flus and other illnesses. But, if
you have lots of good quality relationships with family and friends in your life,
then you are less likely to fall ill, even though the circumstance of your life might
be difficult.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29.What is this passage mainly about?
B【解析】選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于疾病方面的內(nèi)容。聽(tīng)力篇章中講到，人們很早就意識(shí)到健康和我們的思
想聯(lián)系緊密。而現(xiàn)在發(fā)展了新的學(xué)科，研究人類(lèi)的想法和感覺(jué)如何影響免疫和神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)。
30.Why did the man suffer the worst illness in his life?
B【解析】選項(xiàng)表示原因。聽(tīng)力篇章一開(kāi)始以一名男士為例，他和妻子分居了，隨后一周就感
冒了，似乎他的病和自己的糟糕感覺(jué)有關(guān)系。由此可以判斷他得病的原因是他情緒不好。
31.What is the difference between the breast cancer patients according to the passage?
C【解析】選項(xiàng)關(guān)于哪一類(lèi)人活得久一點(diǎn)。聽(tīng)力篇章中間講到一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)，其結(jié)論是不喜歡和家
人討論病情以及自己感受的人，接受治療后五年內(nèi)死的可能性更大，接著列舉了一些數(shù)字。
從中可以判斷，喜歡討論自己病情以及感受的人可以活更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。
Passage Three
When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for a one year stay, they did
not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished
apartment or to buy used furniture. 【35】But they soon learned about a new system
that more and more people are using. 【32】The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables,
dishes, and so on) has become one of America s fastest growing business.
【35】What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People
who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline
workers, young married couples — people whose job or business may force them to move
frequently from one city to another. 【33】They are saved a lot of trouble and the
cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they
reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap
furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money
to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality
furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented
furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things.
【34】But usually people don t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting
home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might
think.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32.Which of the following has become one of America s fastest growing businesses?
D【解析】選項(xiàng)表示某種做法。聽(tīng)力篇章第一段提及現(xiàn)在美國(guó)越來(lái)越流行的業(yè)務(wù)，那就是租家
具。
33.Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?
C【解析】根據(jù)上題，考生可推測(cè)此題問(wèn)題有可能是租家具的原因。聽(tīng)力篇章第二段總結(jié)了家具的原因，可以節(jié)省麻煩，還可以省錢(qián)。選項(xiàng)B 只談到了其中一個(gè)原因。
34.What can you infer from the passage?
B【解析】文章后一段以一個(gè)家庭為例，他們很喜歡租的家具，但是卻不愿意告訴別人家具是租來(lái)的，因?yàn)檫@種做法比較新，他們不確定鄰居會(huì)怎么想。從此可以判斷，在這對(duì)夫妻的家鄉(xiāng)，這種觀(guān)點(diǎn)并不流行。
35.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
B【解析】從選項(xiàng)的拼寫(xiě)方式，考生可推斷問(wèn)題可能是文章的題目。聽(tīng)力篇章一開(kāi)始，講到租家具在美國(guó)流行開(kāi)來(lái)，第二段談及流行的原因，后講到這種新穎的方式在某些地方并不流行。這三段圍繞同一個(gè)主線(xiàn)展開(kāi)，那就是：新穎的獲得家具的方式。

他是美國(guó)歷第一位擁有MBA 的總統(tǒng)，他喜歡炫耀自己的商業(yè)背景，他的總統(tǒng)競(jìng)選大戰(zhàn)從各大公司口袋里招募的資金，數(shù)目前所未見(jiàn)，首席執(zhí)行官充斥著他的內(nèi)閣。喬治·布什認(rèn)為，執(zhí)行官違背信譽(yù)，濫用權(quán)力，這破壞了對(duì)美國(guó)商業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人誠(chéng)實(shí)的信心。當(dāng)今時(shí)代，在個(gè)人責(zé)任感方面，商業(yè)社會(huì)需要新的道德準(zhǔn)則。他將“結(jié)束作假賬、隱瞞真相、違反法律的時(shí)代”。僅僅幾個(gè)月前，認(rèn)為喬治·布什將公開(kāi)痛斥美國(guó)公司老總的想法是很可笑的。作為候選
人，他出生在經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮期，當(dāng)時(shí)股市經(jīng)歷了前所未有的長(zhǎng)達(dá)18 年的牛市，他趁機(jī)利用了美國(guó)公司的成功?，F(xiàn)在情況不一樣了。股票市場(chǎng)的泡沫破碎了，盡管有經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇的跡象，華爾街看起來(lái)依然低迷。美國(guó)野心勃勃的公司，如Enron, Xerox， Tyco, Global Crossing，直到近的World Com，都出現(xiàn)了一系列的丑聞，很大程度上影響了公眾情緒。
要求改革的政治壓力越來(lái)越大，對(duì)布什總統(tǒng)的壓力也越來(lái)越大。【52】這位企業(yè)家總統(tǒng)真的準(zhǔn)備好與商業(yè)較量，嚴(yán)厲推行改革嗎？雖然在紐約他緊咬牙關(guān)，語(yǔ)氣堅(jiān)決，但很有可能他
不會(huì)推行改革。布什總統(tǒng)認(rèn)為，目前的危機(jī)來(lái)源于首席行政官中為數(shù)不多的幾個(gè)壞家伙，而不是因?yàn)檎麄€(gè)制度。所以他的重心是加重對(duì)腐敗企業(yè)家的懲罰，呼吁更高的道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn)?？偨y(tǒng)
宣布成立金融犯罪小組SWAT，在司法部根除企業(yè)欺詐，【53】如果因經(jīng)濟(jì)欺詐而坐牢，將使長(zhǎng)的刑期加倍，從5 年增加到10 年。但關(guān)于體系改革議案，他基本上沒(méi)有提具體的建議：
基本沒(méi)有提到如何加強(qiáng)股票所有者的權(quán)利，更沒(méi)有涉及參議院提出的要求企業(yè)改革的議案?；緵](méi)有跡象表明清理美國(guó)企業(yè)可以吸引選民。民意調(diào)查顯示，美國(guó)人對(duì)他們的商業(yè)領(lǐng)
導(dǎo)基本沒(méi)有信心，但政客似乎沒(méi)有受到影響。【54】布什總統(tǒng)的支持率明顯下降，但還有很多人支持他?！?5】因此，總統(tǒng)只需要語(yǔ)言堅(jiān)決就可以了。僅僅這個(gè)舉動(dòng)就能說(shuō)服一般的美國(guó)民眾——他們認(rèn)為總統(tǒng)對(duì)這件事很上心?！?6】經(jīng)濟(jì)回暖，眾怒平息，對(duì)變革的呼聲會(huì)漸漸緩和下來(lái)。民主攻擊將失敗，影響深遠(yuǎn)的改革議案，還沒(méi)有成為法律就被沖淡了。從政治學(xué)上講，這場(chǎng)賭博有意義?！?6】但遺憾的是，對(duì)美國(guó)的資本主義來(lái)講，這會(huì)錯(cuò)失一個(gè)絕好的機(jī)會(huì)。
52.【答案】A
【解析】本題是個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干，考生可鎖定文章的第三段。段首講到：這位企業(yè)家
總統(tǒng)真的準(zhǔn)備好與商業(yè)較量，嚴(yán)厲推行改革嗎？雖然在紐約他緊咬牙關(guān)，語(yǔ)氣堅(jiān)決，但很有
可能他不會(huì)推行改革。由此可以判斷，他無(wú)意推行改革。
53.【答案】B
【解析】本題是個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。選項(xiàng)B 出現(xiàn)在文章的第三段。段尾講，如果因經(jīng)濟(jì)欺詐而
坐牢，將使長(zhǎng)的刑期加倍，從5 年增加到10 年。由此可以判斷商業(yè)欺詐長(zhǎng)的刑期是5
年。
54.【答案】C
【解析】本題是個(gè)建立在細(xì)節(jié)上的推理題。選項(xiàng)C 出現(xiàn)在文章的第四段。段末講，Mr. Bush
的支持率明顯下降，但還有很多人支持他。這說(shuō)明Mr. Bush 的支持率雖有下降，但還是很高。
55.【答案】D
【解析】本題是個(gè)推理題。文章的后一段講，隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)回暖，對(duì)改革的呼聲會(huì)越來(lái)越弱。
但對(duì)美國(guó)的資本主義來(lái)講，卻錯(cuò)失了個(gè)好機(jī)會(huì)。從中可以看出，作者是很希望改革的，他是
贊同改革的。
56.【答案】A
【解析】本題是個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)分析題。文章的后一句話(huà)提到“將會(huì)錯(cuò)失絕好的機(jī)會(huì)”，這個(gè)機(jī)
會(huì)往回指改革議案。所以A 為正確選項(xiàng)。

57.【答案】B
【解析】本題是個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)題干，考生可鎖定文章的第一段。段中講，美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)
霸權(quán)神話(huà)，為東南亞政治領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人提供了有利條件。段末以馬哈蒂爾為例，只要給機(jī)會(huì)，他就
會(huì)譴責(zé)西方的邪惡。所以，馬哈蒂爾利用譴責(zé)西方的行為來(lái)獲取政治利益。
58.【答案】D
【解析】本題是個(gè)建立在細(xì)節(jié)上的推斷題。選項(xiàng)D 出現(xiàn)在文章的第三段。馬來(lái)西亞等亞洲
國(guó)家的經(jīng)濟(jì)難題，如大量赤字、低儲(chǔ)蓄、負(fù)債率等，都和經(jīng)濟(jì)過(guò)熱有關(guān)系。由此可以推斷，
這些問(wèn)題，部分是因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)過(guò)熱。
59.【答案】B
【解析】本題是個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)推理題。選項(xiàng)B 出現(xiàn)在文章的第三段。段尾講：甚至他宣布的某些
措施，至少暗示他已意識(shí)到自己政府的過(guò)度支出導(dǎo)致了這場(chǎng)信心危機(jī)。從中判斷這句話(huà)實(shí)際

力，這激發(fā)了馬哈蒂爾的靈感，讓他全面攻擊西方，認(rèn)為西方是問(wèn)題的根源。其中用到了“激

贏得的尊重。從作者的用詞可以看出，這篇文章基調(diào)諷刺，有偏見(jiàn)。
61.【答案】D
【解析】本題是個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。考生首先要注意語(yǔ)法搭配，which 后面用到動(dòng)詞原形
include，所以which 所指代的主語(yǔ)應(yīng)該是個(gè)名詞復(fù)數(shù)，承前指代前面的serious issues。 Part ⅤCloze
原文精譯
上流社會(huì)只占人口的三分之一，卻創(chuàng)造了整個(gè)國(guó)家財(cái)富的25%。這個(gè)階層分兩部分：上流中的上層，上流中的下層?；旧?，上流中的上層，指的是“老富豪” ——都是富裕了好幾代的家族 ——出身尊貴，富甲一方。有一些家族家喻戶(hù)曉，如洛克菲勒家族和范德畢特家族。大部分家族一般民眾并不知曉。他們和社會(huì)的其他人沒(méi)什么關(guān)系，靠繼承的財(cái)產(chǎn)的投資而獲取收入。相反，上流中的下層是“新富豪”，盡管他們比老富豪富有，但他們和低于這個(gè)階層的其他人一樣，對(duì)于賺錢(qián)貪得無(wú)厭。因此，一般來(lái)講，他們的地位要比老富豪低，老富豪認(rèn)為沒(méi)有必要努力賺錢(qián)，也看不起新富豪。不管他們是如何賺錢(qián)的，上流社會(huì)很富有。他們有足夠的金錢(qián)和時(shí)間來(lái)培養(yǎng)藝術(shù)方面的愛(ài)好，來(lái)收集稀有的書(shū)籍和畫(huà)作。一般來(lái)講，他們住在固定的區(qū)域，參加固定的社交俱樂(lè)部，互相交流，和門(mén)當(dāng)戶(hù)對(duì)的人結(jié)婚，這些都讓他們遠(yuǎn)離人民大眾，被稱(chēng)作“貴族階級(jí)”。與其他階層相比，他們更傾向于成為某一階級(jí)的成員。因?yàn)槎嗍钦吖伲麄冊(cè)趪?guó)內(nèi)外都有很大權(quán)勢(shì)和影響力，他們的行為影響著成千上萬(wàn)人的生活。
62.【答案】D
【解析】上文提及上流社會(huì)，分為“上流中的上層，上流中的下層”，接著講到上流中的上層包括哪些人。選項(xiàng)D 中的basically，意為“基本上，大體上”。
63.【答案】B
【解析】這是個(gè)相對(duì)固定的搭配，a nobility of birth，意為“出身高貴”。
64.【答案】A
【解析】上文提及很少一部分家族全國(guó)聞名，但大部分富豪人們并不知曉。選項(xiàng)B、C、D強(qiáng)調(diào)“明顯，顯而易見(jiàn)”，而visible 強(qiáng)調(diào)“看得見(jiàn)，能被他人看到”。
65.【答案】D

67.【答案】B
【解析】這是個(gè)固定搭配，by contrast 意為“相反”。
68.【答案】A
【解析】考生要確定前后兩句話(huà)之間的關(guān)系，然后選擇合適的連詞。前一句意為“他們比老富豪還要富有”，后半句意為“他們還在拼命賺錢(qián)”，所以?xún)删渲g是讓步關(guān)系“盡管„„
還”。
69.【答案】A
【解析】此空前面的一句話(huà)講，他們比老富豪還富有，此句講他們?nèi)匀辉谂嶅X(qián)。從此可以判斷他們對(duì)金錢(qián)的態(tài)度是永不嫌多。選項(xiàng)A 中g(shù)reedy 意為“貪婪的”。
70.【答案】B
【解析】此句意為“他們和比自己地位低的其他所有人一樣，努力賺錢(qián)”，所以選擇代詞
everybody。
71.【答案】C
【解析】前一句講，新富豪與比自己地位低的人一樣，拼命賺錢(qián)；后面講老富豪看不起新富豪，邏輯上應(yīng)該是因果關(guān)系，所以選Thus.
72.【答案】D
【解析】根據(jù)整句話(huà)，尤其通過(guò)后面的定語(yǔ)從句，可判斷老富豪是看不起新富豪的。盡管新富豪很富有，地位卻沒(méi)有老富豪高。選項(xiàng)B 和選項(xiàng)D 都表示地位低，但B 中的inferior
常和介詞to 連用。
73.【答案】D
【解析】此空是對(duì)動(dòng)詞的考查。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是常用的簡(jiǎn)單動(dòng)詞，這里表達(dá)老富豪的一種傾向，所以選擇動(dòng)詞tend。

76.【答案】A
【解析】上流社會(huì)的另一大愛(ài)好是收集書(shū)籍和畫(huà)作，所以選擇動(dòng)詞collect。
77.【答案】A
【解析】考生要根據(jù)上文選擇此空。上文講，他們住在特定的區(qū)域，參加特定的社交活動(dòng)，和特定的人交流，和門(mén)當(dāng)戶(hù)對(duì)的人結(jié)婚，因而和人民大眾的距離比較遠(yuǎn)。所以選擇A 中的distant，表示“和某人有距離”。
78.【答案】B
【解析】本題考查固定搭配。be conscious of 意為“意識(shí)到”。選項(xiàng)A 中的doubtful 常和about 連用，表示“懷疑的，不確定的”；選項(xiàng)C 中sensitive 常和to 連用，意為“都„„很敏感”；選項(xiàng)D 中sensible 常用事情做主語(yǔ)，句子結(jié)構(gòu)為sth. is sensible to sb.，意

【解析】此空是對(duì)介詞“考慮到”的考查?！翱紤]到”可用considering，given?？忌⒁獗揪湓?huà)的時(shí)態(tài)，考試已經(jīng)結(jié)束了，復(fù)習(xí)是在考試之前的，所以使用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。
83.【答案】under no circumstances will China use nuclear weapons first
【解析】本題考查倒裝?！霸谌魏螚l件下都不”可翻譯為under no circumstances，in nocase 等，這些帶有no 的短語(yǔ)放在句首，后面的句子要用倒裝，助詞will 放在主語(yǔ)China 的
前面。
84.【答案】but they are missing the full significance if they do s

85.【答案】growing at an average of 5.5 percent a year
【解析】此空是對(duì)固定短語(yǔ)的考查，“以年均„„的速度”常用的短語(yǔ)為at an average of。同時(shí)考生要注意，后半句用動(dòng)詞的現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語(yǔ)。
