答案C。從時態(tài)意義上講，應(yīng)該用過去分詞，表示伴隨情況，還應(yīng)該考慮連詞前后的平衡結(jié)構(gòu)表達(dá)法問題。
7. The last half of the nineteenth century __________ the steady improvement in the means of travel.

C. witnessed D. is witnessed
答案C。根據(jù)主語可判斷出時間為過去時。
8. She ___________ in the feet on her way home from work.

Part Two Reading Comprehension
Directions:
In this part there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.
Questions 11—15 are based on the following passage:
Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one's muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.
You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.
Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.
The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.
11. Some psychologists maintain that thinking is __________.
A. not a mental process
B. more of a physical process than a mental action
C. a process that involves our entire bodies
D. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain
答案D。本題考點(diǎn)在文章第一句中的mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one's muscles also participate。原文中的not…alone, but…相當(dāng)于考題里的as well as, 所以考生對意思相似相近的表達(dá)要清楚。
12. Few people are able to listen to familiar music without __________.
A. moving some part of their body
B. stopping what they are doing to listen
C. directing the orchestra playing it
D. wishing that they could conduct music properly
答案A。本題的依據(jù)句是第二段中的第二個句子Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body.
13. Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to _____________.
A. hear the music B. appreciate the music
C. enjoy the music fully D. completely understand the music
答案C。本題依據(jù)關(guān)鍵在第三段第二句中的derive all possible enjoyment from music，這與試題中的enjoy the music fully意思相當(dāng)。
14. According to the selection, muscle participation in the process of thinking is ______.
A. deliberate B. obvious
C. not readily apparent D. very pronounced
答案C。本題的依據(jù)是短文中的最后一句，關(guān)鍵部分是this participation is less obvious，這與選項(xiàng)C、 not readily apparent意思相當(dāng)。
15. The best title for this selection is ____________.
A. An Ear for Music
B. Music Appreciation
C. How Muscles Participate in Mental Acts
D. A Psychological Definition of the Thinking Process
答案C。短文先指出思維中可能有類似聽音樂時肌肉參與的情形；接著描述了聽音樂過程中肌肉參與的情況；最后指出，肌肉在思維活動中的參與只不過沒那么明顯罷了�？梢�，全文主要討論的是肌肉在思維活動中的參與，既不是專門講思維，更不是專門說音樂。故C選項(xiàng)做標(biāo)題合適。
Questions 16—20 are based on the following passage:
During the summer session there will be a revised schedule of services for the university community. Specific changes for intercampus bus services, summer hours for the cafeteria, the infirmary (校醫(yī)院) and recreational and athletic facilities will be posted on the bulletin board outside of the cafeteria. Weekly movie and concert schedules which are in the process of being arranged will be posted each Wednesday outside of the cafeteria.
Intercampus buses will leave the main hall every hour on the half hour and make all of the regular stops on their route around campus. The cafeteria will serve breakfast, lunch, and early dinner from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the week and from noon to 7 p.m. on weekends. The library will maintain regular hours during the week, but shorter hours on Saturdays and Sundays. The weekend hours are from noon to 7 p. m.
All students who want to use the library borrowing services and recreational athletic, and entertainment facilities must have a valid summer identification card. This announcement will also appear in the next issue of the student newspaper.
16. Which of the following is the main purpose of this announcement?
A. To tell campus personnel of the new library services.
B. To announce the new movies on campus this summer.
C. To notify university people of important schedule changes.
D. To remind the students to validate their identification cards.
答案C。本文講的是“暑期校區(qū)各項(xiàng)服務(wù)安排變更情況”，首句即主題句為During the summer session there will be a revised schedule of services for the university community.選項(xiàng)C符合題意。
17. Specific schedule revisions for which of the following facilities are listed in this announcement?
A. Athletic and recreational. B. Food and transportation.
C. Bookstore and post office. D. Medical and audio-visual.
答案B。本題屬于細(xì)節(jié)題。要注意題干中的Specific schedule revisions，即“具體安排的修改”。第二段首句和第二句分別詳細(xì)描述了公交車的發(fā)車時間、地點(diǎn)和食堂就餐時間，文中沒有提到A. Athletic and recreational， C. Bookstore and post office和D. Medical and audio-visual.的具體情況。
18. Times for movies and concerts are not listed in this announcement because ______________.
A. film or concert occurs every Wednesday at 7 p. m.
B. the full list would be too long
C. films and concerts cannot be announced publicly
D. the full list is not ready yet
答案D。本題的依據(jù)是文章第一段第三句話。關(guān)鍵部分是Weekly movie and concert schedules which are in the process of being arranged，即“每周電影和音樂會計劃還在安排當(dāng)中”，故D為合理選項(xiàng)。
19. According to the announcement which of the following is true of special summer hours for the library?
A. It has them only on the weekends.
B. It has them both weekdays and weekends.
C. It has no special summer hours.
D. The information is not available.
答案A。根據(jù)題干中的special summer hours for the library可以縮小尋找答案的范圍，只尋找與“圖書館”有關(guān)信息即可。答案依據(jù)在第二段的第三句，其中but shorter hours on Saturdays and Sundays是關(guān)鍵部分。but shorter hours 表示special，與平時不同； Saturdays and Sundays指的就是weekends。因此A為正確選項(xiàng)。
20. According to the announcement, a validated identification card is required to __________.
A. ride on intercampus buses
B. read announcements in the cafeteria
C. make use of the infirmary
D. check books out of' the library
答案D。本題答案依據(jù)是短文倒數(shù)第二句。句中提到“借書和娛樂健身”需要有效證明卡。注意題干里的validated和原文中的valid意思相同，即“有效的”。
Questions 21—25 are based on the following passage:
The economy in the United States is heavily dependent on aluminum, a material widely used in the construction of buildings and in making such diverse things as cars, airplanes, and food containers. In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycled aluminum. Some ninety percent of the bauxite (礬土) ore from which new aluminum is normally derived had to be imported to meet the demand. Poorer ores are abundant in the United States, however, and researchers at Purdue University may recently have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically from these.
Although aluminum is not attracted by ordinary magnets, under special conditions it becomes temporarily "paramagnetic", or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field. This is achieved by immersing ore particles in water to which certain salts have been added and then filtering the ore through steel wool in the presence of a strong magnetic field. It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import.
21. The passage focuses on _____________.
A. construction and manufacturing industry in the United States
B. new technique of obtaining aluminum from poor ores
C. consumption and production of aluminum in the United States
D. the annual import of high-grade aluminum into the United States
答案C。本題考查的是對短文主旨大意的理解。首段說的是美國對鋁的需求及其來源，第二段講述了一種新的提取鋁的方法。故C、 consumption and production of aluminum in the United States最符合題意，A、B、D雖然提到與短文有關(guān)的內(nèi)容，但都不夠全面。
22. It is believed that a new technique to _________ will probably be found.
A. recycle old aluminum products
B. discover more bauxite ores
C. make aluminum by putting ore particles under water
D. take out aluminum magnetically from poorer ores
答案D。本題的依據(jù)是第一段最后一句，關(guān)鍵部分是Poorer ores，have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically。
23. In the second paragraph the word "paramagnetic" means ___________.
A. slightly magnetic
B. a weak magnetic field
C. a strong magnetic substance
D. the under-water magnetic power
答案A。這是個詞匯題。解這種題需要先找到該詞所在的句子，答案往往從中可以讀出。Paramagnetic在第二段首句，句子后半部分的or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field就是解釋，故選A. slightly magnetic。
24. By immersing ore particles in water, ____________.
A. we can get ore particles of equal size
B. we can purify aluminum particles
C. we can filter out aluminum
D. we can improve the working conditions around
答案C。本題的依據(jù)是最后一句It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import.顯然，把礦粒進(jìn)入水中的做法目的只有一個，即提取鋁。故選C。
25. We understand from the passage that the United States ____________.
A. is rich in low-grade aluminum-beating ores
B. is short of aluminum-making techniques
C. has to import ninety percent of its annual need of aluminum
D. has to produce fifty percent of the world's supply to meet its annual aluminum demand
答案A。這是一個細(xì)節(jié)題，答案依據(jù)是第一段第四句Poorer ores are abundant in the United States…

Part Three Cloze
Directions:
There are ten blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

The plane was moving unsteadily through the air, and 31 the passengers had fastened their seat belts, they were suddenly thrown forward. At that moment, the air-hostess 32 . She looked very pale, but was quite 33 . Speaking quickly but almost in a whisper, she 34 everyone that the pilot had fainted and asked if any of the passengers knew anything about machines or at least how to drive a car. After a moment's 35 , a man got up and followed the hostess into the pilot's cabin.
Moving the pilot aside, the man took his seat and listened carefully to the urgent instructions that were being sent by radio from the airport below. The plane was now dangerously close 36 the ground, but to everyone's relief, it soon began to climb. The man had to 37 the airport several times in order to become 38 with the controls. Therefore the danger had not yet passed. The terrible 39 came when he had to land. Following information, the man guided the plane toward the airfield. It shook violently 40 it touched the ground and then moved rapidly along the runway and after a long run it stopped safely.
31. A. although B. while C. therefore D. then
答案A。仔細(xì)閱讀上下文，就能看出“and 31 the passengers had fastened their seat belts, they were suddenly thrown forward.”兩個句子是對比關(guān)系，意思為“盡管旅客系著安全帶，但大家還是被拋向前面”。
32. A. showed B. presented C. exposed D. appeared
答案D。A選項(xiàng)正確說法應(yīng)該為“showed up”，B和C選項(xiàng)意思和用法不符合語境；只有D選項(xiàng)正確。Appear意為“出現(xiàn)”。
33. A. well B. still C. calm D. quiet
答案C。應(yīng)該注意but一詞的意義在于引起一個相反的概念。“She looked very pale, but was quite 33 .”也就是說，所選擇的單詞應(yīng)該是pale一詞含義的反義詞。所以用C選項(xiàng)最合適。全局意思為“盡管她臉色蒼白，但她很鎮(zhèn)靜”。其他選項(xiàng)意思或用法有誤。
34. A. inquired B. insured C. informed D. instructed
答案C。A選項(xiàng)意思為“詢問”；B選項(xiàng)意思為“保險”；C選項(xiàng)意思為“告訴”；D選項(xiàng)意為“指示”。只有C選項(xiàng)的意思和用法正確。
35. A. hesitation B. surprise C. doubt D. delay
答案A。A選項(xiàng)意為“猶豫”，最符合本句話的場景。全句意思為“猶豫一會后，一個人站了起來跟服務(wù)員進(jìn)了駕駛艙”。
36. A. to B. by C. near D. on
答案A。close to屬于固定搭配詞組，意思為“接近”。其他選項(xiàng)的搭配不正確。
37. A. surround B. circle C. observe D. view
答案B。A選項(xiàng)意為“包圍”；B項(xiàng)意為“繞圈子”；C和D選項(xiàng)的意思為“觀察，看”。在這里可以判斷，飛機(jī)是在機(jī)場上空繞了幾個圈子。
38. A. intimate B. familiar C. understood D. close
答案B。A選項(xiàng)意思為“親密的”；B項(xiàng)意為“熟悉”。本句話的含義是，飛機(jī)是在機(jī)場上空繞了幾個圈子，目的是熟悉空管指示。
39. A. moment B. movement C. idea D. affair
答案A。A選項(xiàng)的意思為“時刻”。全句意思是“可怕的一刻來臨了，他要降落了”。其他選項(xiàng)的意思不正確。
40. A. as B. unless C. while D. so
答案A。注意本處的意思為“當(dāng)……時候”。A項(xiàng)as與C項(xiàng)while的意思都是“當(dāng)……時候”，但while指一個較長的時間過程，而as指事情發(fā)生的一刻。由于飛機(jī)觸地touch the ground是一個短暫性動作，此處應(yīng)選擇as。

A. Have you been away all these days?
B. Have you moved or something?
C. Haven't seen you for ages!
D. Nice to see you here.

46. Husband: Can I wait at the coffee bar? I feel ill at ease when you are picking things out.
Wife: _______ I don't want to shop alone. You can always give me advice, or enjoy looking at beautiful women.

A. What do you want to do? B. Can I help you?
C. Are you all right? D. I'm glad to help.
答案C。Lucia跟Polly要紙巾，后來又說頭疼，可能得流感了。Polly合理的反應(yīng)是關(guān)切的詢問，而不應(yīng)該在沒弄清情況時就說幫忙的話。故不選B，D。要紙巾顯然是擦鼻子，A的提問是多余的。
48. Tony: Will you please pass me the saltshaker, Bill?
Bill: Sure. ___________.
Tony: Thank you.
A. Give it to you B. Take it C. Here you are D. Hold it
答案C。遞給別人所要的東西時說Here you are，意思是“給你”，其他表達(dá)不符合習(xí)慣。
