I had spent my last day in London visiting friends, taking pictures, and doing some

suitcases.

The officials were very polite. They asked me to show them my passpo rt,my tic ke t,

and my baggage check. Then I was requested to open the suitcase and to spread out its

contents on the table.

I did as I was told. The moment I placed the alarm clock on the table, the two of-

47. B.e x t e n s i ve根据空格处需要填个形容词或相当于形容词功能的词修饰s e a r c h,由于空

格前冠词为a n,可将范围缩小到e x t e n s i ve(指量的方面的广泛的，广阔的。)；e x p a n-

sive ,（空间范围方面的可扩大的和伸展的），根据句意思可知前着更合适。

48. K. applicants. 这里需要填个名词指文章中选的人，只有这个词后缀指人。

49. I.r e s i g n e d.这里需要个动词作w h o引导的定语从句的谓语动词，而且应该是过去

56. D. approximately . 这是一个省略系动词的句子，approximately 大约意思恰当。 Section B

57. B . 推断题。由文章第一段最后一句可知，由于我们每个人天生的能力和后天成长的

环境不同，所以我们对成功的定义很泛，由此可以推断，作者认为能力和环境是获得

成功的基本条件。

断，D 项economical (节约的)正确。

非本文主旨。

Part V. Cloze (15minutes)

67. A . 本题考语义搭配关系l oo k f o r 寻找，ca ll f o r 号召，a pp e a l t o , 吸引为固定搭配，句

意思为 “寻求的东西”。所以A 正确。

68. B. 本题考查习惯用法expect sb. of sth. 意为“从某人出期望事情。本句意思为他们从朋

友那儿所期望的。

69. D . 本题考查关系代词的用法，根据后面的s a t i s f i e d 可知选满意的程度。即为h o w 符合

题意，故正确。

70. B . 本题考查名词辨析。选项A 、D 均表示“结果”，可排除；选项C 为“收入”之义，用

在此处不符合上下文语义关系；选项B )已在上文提及，即他们期望从朋友那儿得到什

71. B . 本题形容词的考查辨析。这儿指独一无二的形式，而A 是指典型的，C 是指专门

的，D 是指仅仅，只有。

B and Three

72. B. 本题考查不同的句子意思，bond 意为“纽带”，bind 作名词指讨厌的事情。这儿用

作分词形式,本句意思为人类结合关系的一种独一无二的形式。根据题意，惟有B)选

项符合题意，

73. D.本题考查动词搭配。本句上下文提到了友谊看来是人类结合关系的独一无二的形

式，紧接着讲，友谊不像婚姻或父母与孩子们之间的纽带关系，它不是由法律来界定

和调节的，根据上下文照应关系原则，应选bind，其意为“捆绑、联结”符合题意，故

正确。

74. A.本题考查动词。根据题意此处应选与l a w(法律)能够搭配的动词，婚姻或父母亲与

孩子们之间的纽带关系是由法律来界定和调节的，而r e g i s t e r e d为，注册登记。r e-

corded ,登记记录，reconstructed为重组，重建。都不符合句子的意思。

75. B. 本题考查搭配关系play roles(扮演角色)为习惯搭配，所以惟有D正确。

76. C. 本题考查形容词辨析。C意为“职业的，其他均不是形容词，故C正确。

有自己的规则。故B正确。

78. D.本题考查动词的搭配，根据意思为能够引起两个人之间的真爱感情的产生，而

generate 指产生电，热等。encounter 指遇见，碰见，都不符合此处。所以D正确。

79. A.本题考查名词辨析。A ff e c t i o n指二者间的感情，p a ss i o n指激情，d e f e c t i o n,指叛

变，变节是个干扰项。

80. A. 本题考查动词辨析confirm意为证明，证实。其他均为干扰项，reform指改革，d e-

form，指使畸形，变形，inform，指通知。所以只有confirm(证实)符合题意。

81. C. 本题选betray的名词形式betrayal。

82. C. 本句选定语从句的引导词指人即为those ,

83. A.本题考查比较级。本句句意为：调查结果也表明，读者不仅在志趣相投的人中找

朋友，也在种族、宗教背景不同的人中找朋友。m o s t和l e a s t为最高级，前面应加定冠

词t h e，所以二者均可排除。根据题意，这里应选m o r e，因1e ss与题意相反，所以A正

确

84. B.本题考查动词的搭配，本句子的意思为，调查结果也表明，读者不仅在志趣相投

的人中找朋友，也在种族、宗教背景不同的人中找朋友。其他搭配不成立。

85. B.本题考查动词的搭配辨析。e m e r g e…f r o m指从??中出现，a r i s e…f o r m.指由??

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passages and the questions will be spoken only once. A f t e r you h e a r a

question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A ), B ), C) and D ).

Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

While traveling abroad, Mr.Jackson Frank ran short of money.So he wrote to his brother,asking for $ 500. “Send the money by telegram,”he wrote, “to the Fisher Bank

in P…”.

After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport. “Noth- ing has come for you,”he was told. This went on for two weeks, and Mr.Frank got very

worried. He sent a telegram to his brother,asking where the money was. There was no

reply,and no money arrived for him.

I n t h e f ou r t h w ee k,M r.F r a n k w a s a rr e s t e d f o r f a ili n g t o pay h i s h o t e l b ill.H i s

passport was taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him.

He was sent to prison for sixty days.

When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher Bank. The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have you received $500 for me? ”he asked. “My name is Jackson

Frank.”

The clerk checked his books. “Y es,Mr.Jackson, it’s here. It came by telegram—let m e s ee—o h,m o r e t h a n t w o m o n t h s a g o.W e w o n d e r e d w h e r e you w e r e.”H e s h o w e d

Mr.Frank the order.

The order r ead: “Pay Mr.Frank Jackson the sum of $500….”

“But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson.”

“Oh, that’s all right, sir.It was in our books under the letter ‘J’, but it’s your mon- ey.”The clerk laughed. “A human mistake, sir! W e’re all human beings, aren’t we? And

so we all make mistakes. A family name like Frank sounds strange to me.”

Mr.Frank was silent. He really wanted to hit somebody.At last he said, “A human mistake—is that what you call it? I think some humans need kicking.”

172 Model Test (2)

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. Why didn’t Jackson just g o to his brother and get s ome money?

27. What did Jackson begin to do a week after he had written to his brother?

28. Why was Jackson arrested a nd sent to prison?

29. Why did the clerks put his name under the wrong letter?

Passage Two

C h il d r e n are c u r i ou s a bou t t h e w o r l d a r ou n d t h e m.F o r e xa m p l e,t h e y w a n t t o

know how their hearts beat. They want to know why the o cean water t astes salty.

made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity continues. Some-

times t his curiosity leads to a career in science.

Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world. Those who work with

the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies. Other scientists who study

li v i n g t h i n g s w o r k w i t h t h e b i o l o g i ca l s c i e n c e s.A t h i r d g r oup o f s c i e n t i s t s s t ud y t h e

T h e s e s c i e n t i s t s have a l r e a d y d i s c o ve r e d a l o t a bou t ou r w o r l d.F o r e xa m p l e,t h e y

can tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet,

your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Y our heart is a pump

t h a t pu m p s b l ood t o a ll p a r t s o f t h e bod y.T h e b l ood ca rr i e s oxygen and n u t r i t i o n.

When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries

to them. The muscles need oxygen, too. So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The

signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast

and sends b lood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.

Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why does the

ocean water taste salty?”scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock

gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the

salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then

w e a s k,“W h a t h a pp e n s t o t h e s a l t i n t h e ocean? T h e ocean do e s n o t g e t s a l t i e r eve r y

year.”Scientists are not sureabout the a nswer to this question.

W e k n o w a l o t a bou t ou r w o r l d,bu t t h e r e are s t ill m a n y a n s w e r s t h a t w e do n o t

have, and we are curious.

Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

30. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

31. What do your muscles n eed when you run?

32. Why are people a lways curious?

Passage Three

What do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out?

B and Three173

A dentist may be able to put the tooth b ack in for you, b ut you have to get t o the dentist

first. In the meantime, you have to store the tooth s o that it will stay healthy.

T h e s i m p l e s t t h i n g t o do i s t o pu t t h e t oo t h back i n t o y ou r m ou t h,o r you c ou l d pu t it i n m il k.F r a n k C ou r t s, a d e n t i s t a t t h e U n i ve r s i t y o f F l o r i d a,w o r k e d w i t h o t h e r

researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth. He tried putting teeth

into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium. He also tried just drying the teeth

in the open air.He used teeth that had to be removed from people’s mouths for various

reasons. The teeth were put into one of the solutions or stored in the air for one hour.

T h e n c e ll s f r o m t h e r oo t o f t h e t ee t h w e r e s c r a p e d o ff t h e t ee t h.D r.C ou r t s and t h e

others then studied how healthy these cells w ere.

The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth. However,few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school.

The next best thing was milk. But Dr.Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash

the tooth and put it right back into its socket in the mouth. For some people, though,

this is just too painful or upsetting. So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your

mouth) to a dentist.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. What is the passage mainly about?

34. W h a t i s t h e b e s t w a y t o s t o r e a k n o c k e d-ou t t oo t h h e a l t h il y ou t s i d e t h e
