M: Hello, this is James Clock. May I have a word with Mary?
W : Hold on, I' 11 just see if she' s in.
M: Ok.
W : Sorry, I' m afraid she' s not here.
Question 3 :
W: You look exhausted this morning, Steve.
M: I am pretty tired. I stayed up nearly all night getting ready for a mid-
term exam this morning.
W: Have you gotten the results of the test yet?
M: Yes, and unfortunately, my grade could have been much better.
Question 4 :
M : I think it's starting to snow.
W: Starting to snow'? The ground's already covered.
Question 5 :
M: Good morning. Mary, how's it going?
W: Pretty good, Bill. How about you?
M: Oh. I'm OK. How is that English class you're teaching?
W: It's going really well. I have a great class this year. I've got 30
students.
M : That' s good. I love to teach English. I' m only teaching history now.
Question 6 :
M: How long can I keep them?
W: Ten days. Then you will have to return them; otherwise you will be
fined for being overdue.
M: Ok, I see.
Question 7 :
W: I understand that the art and news section was assigned to Jane and the
sports page to Tom. What's your responsibility?
M: I have the editorial to write, as well as several book reviews.
Question 8 :
W: Were you able to use the book that Dr. Nelson put on reserve for our
homework?
M: No, I wasn't. It' s a mystery to me why the library was closed early.
Question 9:
M: What a waste of money just for a new arts center! Why couldn't the
money be spent on something more important?
W: Nonsense! Nothing is more important than the arts.
Question 10:

M: Me too. This is unusual for March. I don't remember it ever being so
hot and dry in March before.
W : You' re from Florida then.
M: Not really. I was born in New York, but I've lived here for ten years
now.
W: My mother and I have just moved here from Indiana.
M: Pretty cold in Indiana, isn't it?
W: Yes. That's why we moved. But we didn't know that it would be so hot here. We should have gone to California. Do you think that we've missed the bus?
M: No, it' s always a little late.
W: It' s twenty to one, but my watch is a little faster.
M : Take it easy. It never comes exactly every half hour like it should be.
Questions 14 ~ 17 :
M: Hi, Sally.
W: Hello, Tom. How are you?
M: I' m fine. Where are you going?
W: Oh, I' m on my way home from work.
M: I didn't know you had a job.
W: Yeh, I work part-time at a supermarket.
M: What do you do there?
W: I work in the produce section, Trimming and wrapping fresh fruit andvegetables. I also stock shelves. Sometimes when it really gets busy, I work at the check-out counter. Have you got a job, Tom?
M: Yeah, I do yard work for people. You know, cutting grass; raking leaves, pulling weeds, things like that.
W: I' d like doing that. It must be nice to work outdoors.:
M: Sometimes it is. Except when it rains or snows or gets too hot or too
cold or...
W: Ha-ha, I think every job has its shortcomings. There are times when I get pretty tired of carrying things around at my job. But a job' s a job. Gotta earn money for school.
M: Me, too. Tuition is very high, isn't it? Well, I must go now. I have
to plant some trees for my neighbors this afternoon.
W: Well, don' t work too hard. Holding down a job, going to class, studying. Sometimes it can become too much for one person. Take it easy, M: You, too. It was great seeing you. Sally! Questions 18 ~ 21 : M: Good morning, can I help you? W: How much does this microwave oven cost? M: $280. W: Can you give a discount for it? M: Sorry, I can' t. The price is fixed. W: Come on. Cut down the price just a little bit. I can buy it in an other store, but I choose to buy it here as your store is nearer to my piacel M: Well, because I have to meet a quota in order to get my commission. OK. I'll take off, let say, fifty dollars. How does that sound? W: Oh, no. I was thinking maybe more in three digits. Something like one hundred? M: Please. That' s too much. Seventy-five, no more no less. W: Give it two zeros like a hundred. I feel luckier with zeros. M: Alright, eighty is the bottom line, we can' t make any profit if the price is lower than $ 200. W: OK, I'll take it. Be sure to have it securely packaged. Questions 22 ~ 25 : Younger people and older people do not always agree with each other. They sometimes have different ideas about life, work and play. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in peace. Each summer, 200 teenagers and50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. The aim is not only to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills. There are several free hours every day. And people are free on week-ends, too. During the free hours some teenagers learn photography or painting. Others sit around talking or singing. Each teenager has his own way .to spend the free time. It is necessary to make rules when people live together. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. When someone breaks the rule, the group will discuss the problem. They will ask "Why did it happen?", "What should we do about it?" After the program, one of the teenagers told us that, "You stop thinking only about yourself.

第二部分 英語知識(shí)運(yùn)用 參考譯文 如果你正為某些事情擔(dān)心或是在工作上、學(xué)業(yè)中承受著很大的壓力，你極有可能睡得不好。憂慮使你無法入睡，使你在床上輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)，直到清晨時(shí)分才能睡得著覺。醒來的時(shí)候，你并不覺得精神煥發(fā)神清氣爽．而是精疲力竭，無法迎接新一天的來臨。 近期的報(bào)紙上刊登了一篇亨利·溫可爾博士的文章，題目是《壓力與睡眠》。溫可爾博士認(rèn)為力和睡眠不足有直接的聯(lián)系。他說：“我們越是憂心忡忡，睡得就越少，也就越?jīng)]有辦法對(duì)抗憂慮。”他還補(bǔ)充說：“如果能找到使自己睡個(gè)好覺的方法，我們就能有足夠的精力解決我們的問題?！?那么，究竟什么是良好的睡眠呢?研究表明，保持健康需要的睡眠數(shù)量是因人而異的。7小時(shí)是平均數(shù)。然而令人不解的是，延長睡眠時(shí)間。非但不能讓人精神煥發(fā)，反而會(huì)引起頭痛。 溫可爾博士認(rèn)為睡前的準(zhǔn)備工作是很重要的。工作到很晚的人臨睡前應(yīng)該稍稍體息一下，做點(diǎn)有助于放松的事，可以看看電視或聽聽音樂。早晨做運(yùn)動(dòng)也會(huì)使人在身體上和精神上有疲勞感。睡前點(diǎn)飲料也有助于睡眠，但不要喝茶或咖啡，因?yàn)樗鼈兒械目Х纫驎?huì)使你無法入眠。溫可爾博士指出：“關(guān)燈之后，你就該集中精神放松你的肌肉。慢慢地從腳開始放松，就會(huì)不知不覺地進(jìn)入夢鄉(xiāng)了?！?答案解析 26．A【解析】本題考查詞語搭配。tossand turn是固定用法，表示“輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)”。 27．D【解析】考查詞語搭配。枷asleep意為“入睡”，是固定用法，符合題意。 28．C【解析】本題考查詞語辨析和對(duì)文意的理解。A項(xiàng)relieve意為 “減輕，安慰”；B項(xiàng)renew為“恢復(fù)，重新開始”；C項(xiàng)refresh意為“恢復(fù)精力”；D項(xiàng)release意為“釋放”。根據(jù)題意，人睡覺醒來應(yīng)該覺得神清氣爽，所以選擇C。 29．B【解析】此題考查詞義辨析。B項(xiàng)unable意為“沒有能力的”，常與to搭配，人做主語。 30．C【解析】此題考查詞義辨析和對(duì)文意的理解。表示“文章等的標(biāo)題是…”，一般用entitle，為固定用法。 31．D【解析】此題考查詞義辨析。A項(xiàng)imply意為“暗示”；B項(xiàng)suggest；C項(xiàng)propose均為“建議”；只有D項(xiàng)indicate意為“表明，明確指出”符合文意。 32．A【解析】這里的意思是“壓力和缺乏睡眠有關(guān)系”。表示關(guān)系的選項(xiàng)是A項(xiàng)relate口 33．B【解析】第一段已經(jīng)提到，如果人承受很大的壓力就睡不好，“憂 慮使你無法入睡”。由此可知，越憂慮，睡得越少，the more/less…，the…是固定搭配，意為“越·一，越…”。 34．C【解析】此題考查對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的理解。這一段第一句話已提到亨利博士的文章講的是壓力與睡眠的關(guān)系，前文中出現(xiàn)了stress and sleep，根據(jù)此細(xì)節(jié)可推斷出此處應(yīng)選C。 35．D【解析】此題考查對(duì)文意的理解。文中此處是說“博士又補(bǔ)充了 一點(diǎn)”，D項(xiàng)add意為“補(bǔ)充”。 36．B【解析】這里的意思是說只有保證好的睡眠，我們才能有精力去解決所憂慮的問題，此處指的是人的體力，只有B項(xiàng)energy有此意。 37．A【解析】此題考查詞義辨析。這里指的是人們睡眠的數(shù)量各不相同，vary和differ都有“不同”的意思。但前者強(qiáng)調(diào)各式各樣的，種類的多樣性而后者強(qiáng)調(diào)事物本質(zhì)上根本的不同。 38．C【解析】此題考查關(guān)聯(lián)詞的用法。此處意思是說，一般人們會(huì)認(rèn)為睡得越多人越精神，但恰恰相反，睡多了會(huì)使人頭疼，這里是轉(zhuǎn)折的意思，所以選擇c。 39．D【解析】此題考查對(duì)上下文的理解。此句的意思是“睡多了會(huì)使 人頭疼而不是更加體力充沛”，要選擇表轉(zhuǎn)折的選項(xiàng)。 40．B【解析】此題考查詞義辨析。B項(xiàng)break是此意，意為“短暫休息”；A項(xiàng)pause意為“中止”；C項(xiàng)vacation意為“假期”；D項(xiàng)in terruption意為“打擾”。 41．B【解析】此題考查對(duì)文意的理解。early意為“早早地”。 42．C【解析】此題考查詞語搭配。physically and mentally是副詞短語 的固定搭配，表示“身心地”。 43．B【解析】茶和咖啡因含咖啡因會(huì)使清醒，B項(xiàng)awake意為“清醒的”。 44．A【解析】此題考查動(dòng)詞詞組搭配。put out意為“熄滅”；put on意為“穿上”；putaway意為“把…收起來”；put off意為“推遲”。根據(jù)文意選A。 45．C【解析】這句話的意思是“在不知不覺中你就睡著了”，即在你知曉之前就已入睡了。 第三部分閱讀理解PartA Text 1 參考譯文 尷尬的經(jīng)歷 當(dāng)我們到達(dá)倫敦機(jī)場的時(shí)候還是凌晨，我已經(jīng)從阿姆斯特丹往倫敦發(fā)過電報(bào)了，預(yù)租了一輛車等我們，但是在我到達(dá)公寓之前又發(fā)生了一件倒霉的事。在我所有的旅行經(jīng)歷中，英國海關(guān)從來沒有要求過我打開過一個(gè)包，而且僅僅需要申明我沒有攜帶需交關(guān)稅的商品，只有這例外。當(dāng)然，這是我的錯(cuò)，旅途的極度疲勞和神經(jīng)緊張已經(jīng)使我與人交涉的能力衰退了。不管出于什么原因，我太累了，累得幾乎站不穩(wěn)，對(duì)于海關(guān)人員提出的問題，“你看過這個(gè)嗎?”我極度愚蠢地回答：“看過幾百次了。” “你沒有什么要申報(bào)的嗎?”“沒有?！?“你離開這個(gè)國家多久了?”“大概3個(gè)月了?！?“在這段時(shí)間里你什么也沒購置嗎?” “除了我給你的清單上的東西什么也沒有?！?他似乎有片刻的疑惑，但是過后他發(fā)起進(jìn)攻了，當(dāng)進(jìn)攻發(fā)起的時(shí)候，是完全出乎我的意料的。 “那塊手表從哪來的?” 我懊惱極了，兩天前和朋友在浴室打水仗的時(shí)候，我忘記把我的勞力士伊司特表搞下來了，它就很自然地停了，我去一家商店花l2先令6便士買了這塊丑陋的表，它還發(fā)出很奇怪的聲音。在旅程中它莫名其妙地停了兩次。 我解釋了但是我已經(jīng)丟了面子，我從口袋里拿出自己的手表給他 看，并且補(bǔ)充說如果他沒收那件替代品我會(huì)很感激。 “這不是沒收的問題?！彼f，“不申報(bào)關(guān)稅商品要罰款，現(xiàn)在可以把 那塊勞力士給我檢查嗎?” 我又花了15分鐘說服他這塊勞力士不是走私品，然后他開始搜查我的行李。 答案解析 46．A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第一句話說“It was the small hours of the morning when we arrived at LondonAirport．”，這里的“small hours”意思是“凌晨”，可知作者是在凌晨到達(dá)。故選A。 47．B【解析】推理題。海關(guān)官員問作者的表是從哪來的，而且是非常突然地發(fā)問，可推測他已經(jīng)注意到那塊表了。故選B。 48．C【解析】推理題。從作者描述這塊手表時(shí)所用的語言，如“ugly”“made a strange noise”可以看出作者并不喜歡這塊表。 49．B【解析】推理題。從海關(guān)官員說“這不是沒收的問題，不申報(bào)關(guān)稅要罰款”可見作者后被罰款。fine有“罰款”的意思。 50．A【解析】推理題。作者在文中用了很多對(duì)話，說明語氣是輕松的，且從作者敘述的方式可以看出寫作手法很幽默。故選A。 Text 2 參考譯文 你一定曾經(jīng)為何時(shí)說“我愛你”而煩惱過，因?yàn)檫@是我們生活中的一大難題。 如果你先說“我愛你而對(duì)方卻不回應(yīng)，或者對(duì)方也這么說但你覺得他或她并非當(dāng)真，那該怎么辦?如你先說愛一個(gè)人，會(huì)讓人緊張，而且也很冒險(xiǎn)，它會(huì)讓你覺得像沒了硬殼的海龜那樣容易受到傷害。但先說出口的人真的是處于劣勢嗎?隱而不宣，冷靜地等待，讓對(duì)方采取主動(dòng)會(huì) 更好嗎? “真正良好的兩性關(guān)系應(yīng)該是合理平等的”，心理學(xué)家悉德尼·克朗說，“但愛情很少是平等的?！彼械膬尚躁P(guān)系都會(huì)有權(quán)力的斗爭，但是，他說，如果愛情失去平衡，那么數(shù)年之后就會(huì)開始出現(xiàn)問題。…我對(duì)你的愛更多’的情況暫時(shí)不再繼續(xù)，但這種感覺卻不會(huì)消失，且常常會(huì)在爭 吵中出現(xiàn)?！敝辽僭趷矍樯?，沉默含蓄的那種類型并不總是強(qiáng)有力的?！皟尚躁P(guān)系中強(qiáng)大的一方常常是感覺自信能說出自己的感受的人?！苯逃睦韺W(xué)家因格瑞·柯林斯說。性心理治療學(xué)家波拉·霍爾贊同說，“占上風(fēng)的常常是采取主動(dòng)的人。實(shí)際上，先說‘我愛你’的人往往也是先說‘我討厭你’的人?！被魻栒J(rèn)為，很大程度上取決于說“我愛你”的方式和說話人的動(dòng)機(jī)?！八麄兪窃诤茸頃r(shí)說的嗎?是在對(duì)方乘飛機(jī)度假前說的嗎?而其真正的含義是-‘請一定要對(duì)我忠誠’?是不是表面上說：‘我愛你’，而真正想說的卻是‘你愛我嗎?’如果這樣，直截了當(dāng)?shù)卣f不是更誠實(shí)嗎?”考林也認(rèn)為你的動(dòng)機(jī)決定一切?！爸匾牟辉谟谡f話內(nèi)容而在于說話的方式。歸根到底是說話人的真誠。” 答案及解析 51．C【解析】這篇文章主要講述的是說“我愛你”的時(shí)機(jī)，是采取主動(dòng)還是處于被動(dòng)，以及說話者的動(dòng)機(jī)。 52．D【解析】“You must have been troubled by when to say‘Ilove you’ because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life．”也就是說人們?yōu)楹螘r(shí)說“我愛你”而煩惱。 53．A【解析】見第三段的“A really good relationship should be about be- ing fair and being equal”。 54．C【解析】此題是詞義解析，意思是“占了上風(fēng)”。 55．A【解析】從第三段末考林的話語中可以分析出來是你的動(dòng)機(jī)決定一切?！爸匾牟辉谟谡f話內(nèi)容而在于說話的方式。歸根到底是說話人的真誠?！?Text 3 參考譯文 在布魯塞爾的歐洲委員會(huì)中流傳著這樣一個(gè)關(guān)于口譯工作的笑話——他們打趣說：“語言本身與17譯無關(guān)，而是通過l7譯幫助人們了解語言的涵義。”任何想成為口譯員的人都應(yīng)該牢記這句話。翻譯工作，尤其是在政治背景下做翻譯，需要的絕不僅僅是語言能力而已。 要想在諸如聯(lián)合國那樣的國際組織里．Y-作，你需得到眾多國際性的筆譯或口譯組織之一的許可。要做到這一點(diǎn)，你必須選擇或是在一家授權(quán)機(jī)構(gòu)的培訓(xùn)學(xué)?；蚴谴髮W(xué)的碩士班里接受嚴(yán)格和長期的培訓(xùn)。然而，語言能力并非是獲得1：2譯工作的途徑。在位于倫敦的威斯敏斯特大學(xué)里，申請者得證明他們“有點(diǎn)生活經(jīng)歷”，這是一個(gè)演講的原話，他們才有資格參加口譯課程。剛剛大學(xué)畢業(yè)的年輕人往往缺少足夠的生活經(jīng)歷，。 這所大學(xué)還錄取那些曾有過長期居住外國經(jīng)歷的申請者，而那些國家所使用的語言正是他們所掌握的外語。他們還需要對(duì)文化有廣泛的興趣，并精通時(shí)事。這種廣泛的興趣是口譯工作的必要條件。口譯工作常常是周一翻譯商討裁軍的問題，周二翻譯國際捕魚權(quán)利，周三討論跨國財(cái)政問題。周四是關(guān)于建筑和建筑業(yè)的問題。： 口譯人員們需要依靠腎上腺素的支持才能完成苛刻的時(shí)間表所規(guī)定的工作，而腎上腺素的分泌是源于工作中的壓力和挑戰(zhàn)。許多口譯人員說他們喜歡工作時(shí)腎上腺素分泌時(shí)嗡嗡作響的聲音，還知道他們在工作的時(shí)候心跳會(huì)加快。 ·口譯工作是危險(xiǎn)和刺激并存的。口譯人員需要工作在戰(zhàn)爭地區(qū)，也需要工作在像聯(lián)合國那樣的國際外交中心。 答案及解析 56．C【解析】由第二段“Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life．”可知選C。 57．D【解析】由文章第三段第二句可知選項(xiàng)A、B符合文意，由第二段 可知選項(xiàng)C符合文意。 58．B【解析】第四段第一句“Interpreters also rely on adrenaline-which is caused by the stressand challenges of the job-to keep them 90-ing through their demanding schedules．”以及下旬“It is known that their heart ratesspeed up while they are workin．”推知adrenaline的作用是使他們處于一種興奮狀態(tài)之中。 59．D【解析】選項(xiàng)A、B、c均與本文描述的細(xì)節(jié)相違背。 60．A【解析】末段中“It is also a job with its own risks and excitement．”說明翻譯工作“dangerous sometimes，excitin9”。8項(xiàng)intrepid意為“英勇的，大無畏的”。這是個(gè)生僻詞匯，但是通過對(duì)上句話的理解，用排除法就可以得出結(jié)論。 Part B 參考譯文 麥克·史密斯先生： 我們并不是輕易決定要這么做的，這么多年來我們一直在要求一個(gè) 合理的工資。現(xiàn)在終于有人開始注意聽我們講話了．我們僅僅希望能把工資提高25%，提高到每周250美元，而已。我們的罷工給這么多人帶來不便，對(duì)此我們也很遺憾。但是請不要責(zé)怪我們，要怪就怪政府吧，是政府拒絕我們的請求。 湯姆·布朗先生： 在我們正竭盡全力地控制通貨膨脹的時(shí)候，他們卻要這么多錢，真是不可理喻。工資提高了，物價(jià)也會(huì)跟著提高的。要是我們答應(yīng)電廠工人的要求，其他工會(huì)就會(huì)要得更多，無法避免的結(jié)果就是這次的危機(jī)會(huì)失控。我們想讓大家都明白：通貨膨脹會(huì)危害每一個(gè)人，尤其是窮人。我們同意給電廠工人加薪10%，這已經(jīng)是很多了。我主張通過這次會(huì)談使工會(huì)的人理智地面對(duì)問題。 鮑勃·戴維斯先生： 這次罷工將會(huì)傷害每個(gè)人的利益，也包括那些電廠工人自己。國家經(jīng)濟(jì)會(huì)受到?jīng)_擊，許多人將失業(yè)?，F(xiàn)在就已經(jīng)有人說各大工會(huì)擁有的權(quán)力過大，并且不該有罷工的權(quán)力。電廠工人想要更多的錢，誰不想呢?貝克夫人： 我的意見是“動(dòng)用軍隊(duì)”。所有的電廠都該由軍隊(duì)管理。把那些罷工者都投進(jìn)監(jiān)獄里，這才是這個(gè)國家應(yīng)該做的。為什么我們大家要因?yàn)閹讉€(gè)貪婪的人受罪呢?要是他們不喜歡自己的工作，沒人會(huì)強(qiáng)迫他們干活兒。他們應(yīng)該試著像我一樣每周靠50美元生活。沒準(zhǔn)兒那時(shí)候他們就會(huì)閉嘴了。 斯萊特小姐： 大家來面對(duì)問題吧!這是個(gè)無關(guān)緊要的事情。電廠工人處于強(qiáng)勢地位，我們也許真的對(duì)此無能為力。我想說的是：給他們250美元吧，我們就可以回去工作了。我的意思是，政府一直都在些微不足道的小事上浪費(fèi)納稅人的錢。怎么能說250美元“太多”呢?流行歌手們賺的多些，護(hù)士們賺的少些，這不過是其中一例而已。 答案及解析 61．G62．A63．F64．E65．D 61～65題解析略。 第四部分寫作 Part A 66．范文 Dear Andy, I have read-the advertisement and Iam very glad to become your pen-friend.

W: OK, I'll take it. Be sure to have it securely packaged. Questions 22 ~ 25 : Younger people and older people do not always agree with each other. They sometimes have different ideas about life, work and play. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in peace. Each summer, 200 teenagers and50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. The aim is not only to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills. There are several free hours every day. And people are free on week-ends, too. During the free hours some teenagers learn photography or painting. Others sit around talking or singing. Each teenager has his own way .to spend the free time. It is necessary to make rules when people live together. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. When someone breaks the rule, the group will discuss the problem. They will ask "Why did it happen?", "What should we do about it?" After the program, one of the teenagers told us that, "You stop thinking only about yourself. You begin to think about the whole group. That' s what I've learnt from this program. "
第二部分 英語知識(shí)運(yùn)用 參考譯文 如果你正為某些事情擔(dān)心或是在工作上、學(xué)業(yè)中承受著很大的壓力，你極有可能睡得不好。憂慮使你無法入睡，使你在床上輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)，直到清晨時(shí)分才能睡得著覺。醒來的時(shí)候，你并不覺得精神煥發(fā)神清氣爽．而是精疲力竭，無法迎接新一天的來臨。 近期的報(bào)紙上刊登了一篇亨利·溫可爾博士的文章，題目是《壓力與睡眠》。溫可爾博士認(rèn)為力和睡眠不足有直接的聯(lián)系。他說：“我們越是憂心忡忡，睡得就越少，也就越?jīng)]有辦法對(duì)抗憂慮。”他還補(bǔ)充說：“如果能找到使自己睡個(gè)好覺的方法，我們就能有足夠的精力解決我們的問題?！?那么，究竟什么是良好的睡眠呢?研究表明，保持健康需要的睡眠數(shù)量是因人而異的。7小時(shí)是平均數(shù)。然而令人不解的是，延長睡眠時(shí)間。非但不能讓人精神煥發(fā)，反而會(huì)引起頭痛。 溫可爾博士認(rèn)為睡前的準(zhǔn)備工作是很重要的。工作到很晚的人臨睡前應(yīng)該稍稍體息一下，做點(diǎn)有助于放松的事，可以看看電視或聽聽音樂。早晨做運(yùn)動(dòng)也會(huì)使人在身體上和精神上有疲勞感。睡前點(diǎn)飲料也有助于睡眠，但不要喝茶或咖啡，因?yàn)樗鼈兒械目Х纫驎?huì)使你無法入眠。溫可爾博士指出：“關(guān)燈之后，你就該集中精神放松你的肌肉。慢慢地從腳開始放松，就會(huì)不知不覺地進(jìn)入夢鄉(xiāng)了?！?答案解析 26．A【解析】本題考查詞語搭配。tossand turn是固定用法，表示“輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)”。 27．D【解析】考查詞語搭配。枷asleep意為“入睡”，是固定用法，符合題意。 28．C【解析】本題考查詞語辨析和對(duì)文意的理解。A項(xiàng)relieve意為 “減輕，安慰”；B項(xiàng)renew為“恢復(fù)，重新開始”；C項(xiàng)refresh意為“恢復(fù)精力”；D項(xiàng)release意為“釋放”。根據(jù)題意，人睡覺醒來應(yīng)該覺得神清氣爽，所以選擇C。 29．B【解析】此題考查詞義辨析。B項(xiàng)unable意為“沒有能力的”，常與to搭配，人做主語。 30．C【解析】此題考查詞義辨析和對(duì)文意的理解。表示“文章等的標(biāo)題是…”，一般用entitle，為固定用法。 31．D【解析】此題考查詞義辨析。A項(xiàng)imply意為“暗示”；B項(xiàng)suggest；C項(xiàng)propose均為“建議”；只有D項(xiàng)indicate意為“表明，明確指出”符合文意。 32．A【解析】這里的意思是“壓力和缺乏睡眠有關(guān)系”。表示關(guān)系的選項(xiàng)是A項(xiàng)relate口 33．B【解析】第一段已經(jīng)提到，如果人承受很大的壓力就睡不好，“憂 慮使你無法入睡”。由此可知，越憂慮，睡得越少，the more/less…，the…是固定搭配，意為“越·一，越…”。 34．C【解析】此題考查對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的理解。這一段第一句話已提到亨利博士的文章講的是壓力與睡眠的關(guān)系，前文中出現(xiàn)了stress and sleep，根據(jù)此細(xì)節(jié)可推斷出此處應(yīng)選C。 35．D【解析】此題考查對(duì)文意的理解。文中此處是說“博士又補(bǔ)充了 一點(diǎn)”，D項(xiàng)add意為“補(bǔ)充”。 36．B【解析】這里的意思是說只有保證好的睡眠，我們才能有精力去解決所憂慮的問題，此處指的是人的體力，只有B項(xiàng)energy有此意。 37．A【解析】此題考查詞義辨析。這里指的是人們睡眠的數(shù)量各不相同，vary和differ都有“不同”的意思。但前者強(qiáng)調(diào)各式各樣的，種類的多樣性而后者強(qiáng)調(diào)事物本質(zhì)上根本的不同。 38．C【解析】此題考查關(guān)聯(lián)詞的用法。此處意思是說，一般人們會(huì)認(rèn)為睡得越多人越精神，但恰恰相反，睡多了會(huì)使人頭疼，這里是轉(zhuǎn)折的意思，所以選擇c。 39．D【解析】此題考查對(duì)上下文的理解。此句的意思是“睡多了會(huì)使 人頭疼而不是更加體力充沛”，要選擇表轉(zhuǎn)折的選項(xiàng)。 40．B【解析】此題考查詞義辨析。B項(xiàng)break是此意，意為“短暫休息”；A項(xiàng)pause意為“中止”；C項(xiàng)vacation意為“假期”；D項(xiàng)in terruption意為“打擾”。 41．B【解析】此題考查對(duì)文意的理解。early意為“早早地”。 42．C【解析】此題考查詞語搭配。physically and mentally是副詞短語 的固定搭配，表示“身心地”。 43．B【解析】茶和咖啡因含咖啡因會(huì)使清醒，B項(xiàng)awake意為“清醒的”。 44．A【解析】此題考查動(dòng)詞詞組搭配。put out意為“熄滅”；put on意為“穿上”；putaway意為“把…收起來”；put off意為“推遲”。根據(jù)文意選A。 45．C【解析】這句話的意思是“在不知不覺中你就睡著了”，即在你知曉之前就已入睡了。 第三部分閱讀理解PartA Text 1 參考譯文 尷尬的經(jīng)歷 當(dāng)我們到達(dá)倫敦機(jī)場的時(shí)候還是凌晨，我已經(jīng)從阿姆斯特丹往倫敦發(fā)過電報(bào)了，預(yù)租了一輛車等我們，但是在我到達(dá)公寓之前又發(fā)生了一件倒霉的事。在我所有的旅行經(jīng)歷中，英國海關(guān)從來沒有要求過我打開過一個(gè)包，而且僅僅需要申明我沒有攜帶需交關(guān)稅的商品，只有這例外。當(dāng)然，這是我的錯(cuò)，旅途的極度疲勞和神經(jīng)緊張已經(jīng)使我與人交涉的能力衰退了。不管出于什么原因，我太累了，累得幾乎站不穩(wěn)，對(duì)于海關(guān)人員提出的問題，“你看過這個(gè)嗎?”我極度愚蠢地回答：“看過幾百次了。” “你沒有什么要申報(bào)的嗎?”“沒有?！?“你離開這個(gè)國家多久了?”“大概3個(gè)月了?！?“在這段時(shí)間里你什么也沒購置嗎?” “除了我給你的清單上的東西什么也沒有?！?他似乎有片刻的疑惑，但是過后他發(fā)起進(jìn)攻了，當(dāng)進(jìn)攻發(fā)起的時(shí)候，是完全出乎我的意料的。 “那塊手表從哪來的?” 我懊惱極了，兩天前和朋友在浴室打水仗的時(shí)候，我忘記把我的勞力士伊司特表搞下來了，它就很自然地停了，我去一家商店花l2先令6便士買了這塊丑陋的表，它還發(fā)出很奇怪的聲音。在旅程中它莫名其妙地停了兩次。 我解釋了但是我已經(jīng)丟了面子，我從口袋里拿出自己的手表給他 看，并且補(bǔ)充說如果他沒收那件替代品我會(huì)很感激。 “這不是沒收的問題?！彼f，“不申報(bào)關(guān)稅商品要罰款，現(xiàn)在可以把 那塊勞力士給我檢查嗎?” 我又花了15分鐘說服他這塊勞力士不是走私品，然后他開始搜查我的行李。 答案解析 46．A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第一句話說“It was the small hours of the morning when we arrived at LondonAirport．”，這里的“small hours”意思是“凌晨”，可知作者是在凌晨到達(dá)。故選A。 47．B【解析】推理題。海關(guān)官員問作者的表是從哪來的，而且是非常突然地發(fā)問，可推測他已經(jīng)注意到那塊表了。故選B。 48．C【解析】推理題。從作者描述這塊手表時(shí)所用的語言，如“ugly”“made a strange noise”可以看出作者并不喜歡這塊表。 49．B【解析】推理題。從海關(guān)官員說“這不是沒收的問題，不申報(bào)關(guān)稅要罰款”可見作者后被罰款。fine有“罰款”的意思。 50．A【解析】推理題。作者在文中用了很多對(duì)話，說明語氣是輕松的，且從作者敘述的方式可以看出寫作手法很幽默。故選A。 Text 2 參考譯文 你一定曾經(jīng)為何時(shí)說“我愛你”而煩惱過，因?yàn)檫@是我們生活中的一大難題。 如果你先說“我愛你而對(duì)方卻不回應(yīng)，或者對(duì)方也這么說但你覺得他或她并非當(dāng)真，那該怎么辦?如你先說愛一個(gè)人，會(huì)讓人緊張，而且也很冒險(xiǎn)，它會(huì)讓你覺得像沒了硬殼的海龜那樣容易受到傷害。但先說出口的人真的是處于劣勢嗎?隱而不宣，冷靜地等待，讓對(duì)方采取主動(dòng)會(huì) 更好嗎? “真正良好的兩性關(guān)系應(yīng)該是合理平等的”，心理學(xué)家悉德尼·克朗說，“但愛情很少是平等的?！彼械膬尚躁P(guān)系都會(huì)有權(quán)力的斗爭，但是，他說，如果愛情失去平衡，那么數(shù)年之后就會(huì)開始出現(xiàn)問題。…我對(duì)你的愛更多’的情況暫時(shí)不再繼續(xù)，但這種感覺卻不會(huì)消失，且常常會(huì)在爭 吵中出現(xiàn)?！敝辽僭趷矍樯?，沉默含蓄的那種類型并不總是強(qiáng)有力的?！皟尚躁P(guān)系中強(qiáng)大的一方常常是感覺自信能說出自己的感受的人?！苯逃睦韺W(xué)家因格瑞·柯林斯說。性心理治療學(xué)家波拉·霍爾贊同說，“占上風(fēng)的常常是采取主動(dòng)的人。實(shí)際上，先說‘我愛你’的人往往也是先說‘我討厭你’的人?！被魻栒J(rèn)為，很大程度上取決于說“我愛你”的方式和說話人的動(dòng)機(jī)?！八麄兪窃诤茸頃r(shí)說的嗎?是在對(duì)方乘飛機(jī)度假前說的嗎?而其真正的含義是-‘請一定要對(duì)我忠誠’?是不是表面上說：‘我愛你’，而真正想說的卻是‘你愛我嗎?’如果這樣，直截了當(dāng)?shù)卣f不是更誠實(shí)嗎?”考林也認(rèn)為你的動(dòng)機(jī)決定一切?！爸匾牟辉谟谡f話內(nèi)容而在于說話的方式。歸根到底是說話人的真誠。” 答案及解析 51．C【解析】這篇文章主要講述的是說“我愛你”的時(shí)機(jī)，是采取主動(dòng)還是處于被動(dòng)，以及說話者的動(dòng)機(jī)。 52．D【解析】“You must have been troubled by when to say‘Ilove you’ because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life．”也就是說人們?yōu)楹螘r(shí)說“我愛你”而煩惱。 53．A【解析】見第三段的“A really good relationship should be about be- ing fair and being equal”。 54．C【解析】此題是詞義解析，意思是“占了上風(fēng)”。 55．A【解析】從第三段末考林的話語中可以分析出來是你的動(dòng)機(jī)決定一切?！爸匾牟辉谟谡f話內(nèi)容而在于說話的方式。歸根到底是說話人的真誠?！?Text 3 參考譯文 在布魯塞爾的歐洲委員會(huì)中流傳著這樣一個(gè)關(guān)于口譯工作的笑話——他們打趣說：“語言本身與17譯無關(guān)，而是通過l7譯幫助人們了解語言的涵義。”任何想成為口譯員的人都應(yīng)該牢記這句話。翻譯工作，尤其是在政治背景下做翻譯，需要的絕不僅僅是語言能力而已。 要想在諸如聯(lián)合國那樣的國際組織里．Y-作，你需得到眾多國際性的筆譯或口譯組織之一的許可。要做到這一點(diǎn)，你必須選擇或是在一家授權(quán)機(jī)構(gòu)的培訓(xùn)學(xué)?；蚴谴髮W(xué)的碩士班里接受嚴(yán)格和長期的培訓(xùn)。然而，語言能力并非是獲得1：2譯工作的途徑。在位于倫敦的威斯敏斯特大學(xué)里，申請者得證明他們“有點(diǎn)生活經(jīng)歷”，這是一個(gè)演講的原話，他們才有資格參加口譯課程。剛剛大學(xué)畢業(yè)的年輕人往往缺少足夠的生活經(jīng)歷，。 這所大學(xué)還錄取那些曾有過長期居住外國經(jīng)歷的申請者，而那些國家所使用的語言正是他們所掌握的外語。他們還需要對(duì)文化有廣泛的興趣，并精通時(shí)事。這種廣泛的興趣是口譯工作的必要條件。口譯工作常常是周一翻譯商討裁軍的問題，周二翻譯國際捕魚權(quán)利，周三討論跨國財(cái)政問題。周四是關(guān)于建筑和建筑業(yè)的問題。： 口譯人員們需要依靠腎上腺素的支持才能完成苛刻的時(shí)間表所規(guī)定的工作，而腎上腺素的分泌是源于工作中的壓力和挑戰(zhàn)。許多口譯人員說他們喜歡工作時(shí)腎上腺素分泌時(shí)嗡嗡作響的聲音，還知道他們在工作的時(shí)候心跳會(huì)加快。 ·口譯工作是危險(xiǎn)和刺激并存的。口譯人員需要工作在戰(zhàn)爭地區(qū)，也需要工作在像聯(lián)合國那樣的國際外交中心。 答案及解析 56．C【解析】由第二段“Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life．”可知選C。 57．D【解析】由文章第三段第二句可知選項(xiàng)A、B符合文意，由第二段 可知選項(xiàng)C符合文意。 58．B【解析】第四段第一句“Interpreters also rely on adrenaline-which is caused by the stressand challenges of the job-to keep them 90-ing through their demanding schedules．”以及下旬“It is known that their heart ratesspeed up while they are workin．”推知adrenaline的作用是使他們處于一種興奮狀態(tài)之中。 59．D【解析】選項(xiàng)A、B、c均與本文描述的細(xì)節(jié)相違背。 60．A【解析】末段中“It is also a job with its own risks and excitement．”說明翻譯工作“dangerous sometimes，excitin9”。8項(xiàng)intrepid意為“英勇的，大無畏的”。這是個(gè)生僻詞匯，但是通過對(duì)上句話的理解，用排除法就可以得出結(jié)論。 Part B 參考譯文 麥克·史密斯先生： 我們并不是輕易決定要這么做的，這么多年來我們一直在要求一個(gè) 合理的工資。現(xiàn)在終于有人開始注意聽我們講話了．我們僅僅希望能把工資提高25%，提高到每周250美元，而已。我們的罷工給這么多人帶來不便，對(duì)此我們也很遺憾。但是請不要責(zé)怪我們，要怪就怪政府吧，是政府拒絕我們的請求。 湯姆·布朗先生： 在我們正竭盡全力地控制通貨膨脹的時(shí)候，他們卻要這么多錢，真是不可理喻。工資提高了，物價(jià)也會(huì)跟著提高的。要是我們答應(yīng)電廠工人的要求，其他工會(huì)就會(huì)要得更多，無法避免的結(jié)果就是這次的危機(jī)會(huì)失控。我們想讓大家都明白：通貨膨脹會(huì)危害每一個(gè)人，尤其是窮人。我們同意給電廠工人加薪10%，這已經(jīng)是很多了。我主張通過這次會(huì)談使工會(huì)的人理智地面對(duì)問題。 鮑勃·戴維斯先生： 這次罷工將會(huì)傷害每個(gè)人的利益，也包括那些電廠工人自己。國家經(jīng)濟(jì)會(huì)受到?jīng)_擊，許多人將失業(yè)?，F(xiàn)在就已經(jīng)有人說各大工會(huì)擁有的權(quán)力過大，并且不該有罷工的權(quán)力。電廠工人想要更多的錢，誰不想呢?貝克夫人： 我的意見是“動(dòng)用軍隊(duì)”。所有的電廠都該由軍隊(duì)管理。把那些罷工者都投進(jìn)監(jiān)獄里，這才是這個(gè)國家應(yīng)該做的。為什么我們大家要因?yàn)閹讉€(gè)貪婪的人受罪呢?要是他們不喜歡自己的工作，沒人會(huì)強(qiáng)迫他們干活兒。他們應(yīng)該試著像我一樣每周靠50美元生活。沒準(zhǔn)兒那時(shí)候他們就會(huì)閉嘴了。 斯萊特小姐： 大家來面對(duì)問題吧!這是個(gè)無關(guān)緊要的事情。電廠工人處于強(qiáng)勢地位，我們也許真的對(duì)此無能為力。我想說的是：給他們250美元吧，我們就可以回去工作了。我的意思是，政府一直都在些微不足道的小事上浪費(fèi)納稅人的錢。怎么能說250美元“太多”呢?流行歌手們賺的多些，護(hù)士們賺的少些，這不過是其中一例而已。 答案及解析 61．G62．A63．F64．E65．D 61～65題解析略。 第四部分寫作 Part A 66．范文 Dear Andy, I have read-the advertisement and Iam very glad to become your pen-friend.
