You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

The key to any successful garage sale (家庭旧物出售) is to get the word out. The best means of advertising your sale is to place an ad

in the local newspaper. If you have a city and neighborhood paper, make sure you advertise in both. The ad should be large enough that

it stands out. It should also include information on where the sale

is located with directions, the "hot" items you're selling and the time the sale will start and end. An ad should be placed at least two days before the sale and run until the day of your event. That way people can plan their route (路线) to the sale in advance.

Signs are another great way to inform your community. Post them in places where people gather, such as stores and community centers. Some businesses have a central bulletin board (布告栏), which is the best place to advertise. Other places to post are at the local

college or university campus. This is especially helpful if your sale is happening in August or early September when students have returned to school and are looking for cheap finds.

Post signs around your neighborhood. You should also place both

ads and direction signs, especially if you're located on a side

street without a major presence. Signs will attract and direct people. Just make sure you print in bold letters and use large direction

signs so people can read the information from the front seat of their car.

36、 The best way of getting out the news of your garage sale is to

______.

A. publish the news online

B. visit people door-to-door

Task 2

Directions: This task is the same as Task i. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.

Borrowing to start a business is not easy. Getting a bank loan, particularly for a new small business, is like going through the eye of a needle.

Banks favor established business people with a solid credit rating and a large bank account. They should also have experience in the business they propose to enter, and offer well-prepared business plans that show the ability to repay the loans. If you are not such a person, then you need to double your preparations to convince the banker to lend you that much needed start-up capital. If your business is new and small, bankers will need to know as much as possible about you and your business.

However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well prepared when going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don't even have the slightest idea how or when they intend to repay the money they request. Often they don't even know how much money they need. When asked how much money they want to borrow, many people give these two common responses: "How much money can I get?" and "As much as possible." Is it any wonder that lenders say no?

So the most important thing is do your homework before you ask for a loan.

41、 By saying "Getting a bank loan.., is like going through the eye of a needle", the writer emphasizes ______.

A. the ability to borrow from a bank

B. the importance of borrowing money

C. the difficulty of getting a bank loan

D. the start-up of a new small business

42、 Banks prefer to give a loan to those who ______.

A. are in need of start-up capital

B. have the ability to pay it back

C. own an old and large business

D. haven't borrowed money before

43、 What will bankers do before they give a loan to a new and small business?

A. Help fill out a special form for getting a loan.

B. Request the business to pay a small deposit.

C. Get enough information about the business.

D. Estimate the size of the loan they will give.

44、 Some small businesses fail to get a bank loan because ______.

A. the form they fill in is incomplete

B. their products are not technically advanced

C. the amount of money they want to borrow is too big

D. they have no clear idea of how much they need to borrow

45、 The writer advises that before applying for a bank loan, the applicant should ______.

A. thoroughly prepare

B. do some market research

C. learn a lot about the bank

D. know the upper limit of the loan

Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension

Section A

1、A

[听力原文]

M: I think the business meeting will start at 9:30.

W: Ok, We still have half an hour to get there.

Q: What time is it now?

[解析] 事实推理题。此题询问“现在几点钟?”男士说：“会议将在9点半开始。”而女士则说：“我们有半小时的时间去那儿。”两者提到的时间对照

之下，可确定现在应该是9点，故本题应选A。

[避错指南] 本题关键是抓住了两个时间，然后做一个简单地减法，但如果

抓准了时间，但做了加法的话，就很容易误选C了。

2、D

[听力原文]

M: Would you mind my using the telephone here?

W: Sorry, the telephone doesn't work.

Q: What does the woman mean?

[解析] 事实细节题。此题询问“女士的话是什么意思?”男士提出想用电话，但女士回答说：“电话坏了。”这也就是说，男士不能使用那个电话，因此，

本题应选选项D。

[避错指南] 选项A(女士在等电话)、选项B(电话占线)和选项C(有人正在

用电话)都与对话中提到的“电话坏了”不符。

3、B

[听力原文]

W: What kind of account do you want to open?

M: A savings account, please.

Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

[解析] 事实推断题。此题询问“这个对话最有可能在哪里发生?”从女士提到的account(帐户)和男士提到的savings account(储蓄账户)可以推断这个对话最可能发生在银行里，故本题应选B。

[避错指南] 选项A(在办公室)、选项C(在车站)和选项D(在餐厅)与对话中

提到的内容的联系不如选项B紧密。

4、C

[听力原文]

W: When and where shall we meet to go to the movie tonight?

学校门口见，根据这些内容，可知选项C与对话相符，为本题答案。

[避错指南] 选项A(电影6点开始)、选项B(电影推迟到明天才上映)和选项

D(他们想知道电影在哪里上映)的用词与原对话的用词非常相近，均有很强的干扰性，但如果抓住了女士提到的meet一词；这些选项还是不难排除的。

5、C

[听力原文]

W: Excuse me, how can I go to the bookstore from here?

M: You may take a bus or a taxi, but it's not very far, and you may like to walk there.

Q: What does the man mean?

[解析] 事实细节题。此题询问“男士说的话是什么意思?”从男士的话“你可以坐公共汽车去，也可以坐出租车去，那里不太远，你也可以走去。”可知

他所说的包含了选项C(女士可以走去书店)的内容。

[避错指南] 选项A(出租车很难找)中的taxi和选项D(有很多条公交线路可以去书店)巾的bus虽在原对话中有提及，但仅此而已，这两个选项的其他信息都是没有原文依据的。选项B(书店很远)则与原对话的内容相反。

W: Yon are welcome.

6．Where is Mr, Zhou Ming now?

均与原文不符。

7、A

[听力原文]

What did George Wilson ask Zhou Ming to do in his message?

A(给他回电)

[避错指南] 选项B(等他的电话)与原对话相反，要排除这个干扰项，关键

是理解该谁打电话给谁。选项C(给他发个电子邮件)和选项D(亲自拜访他)都没有在对话中提及。

8、C

[听力原文] 8-10

W: We're having a meeting tomorrow. Can you make it?

M: I see.

8．What is the main subject of the meeting?

[解析] 推理判断题。问题询问“会议的主题是什么?”。对话中多次提到sales一词，由此可推断，会议的主题应该是sales，因此，本题应选C。

[避错指南] 本题的关键就是对话中的sale一词，选项A(生产计划)、选项

B(明年的预算)和选项D(开办新的分公司)虽然都与商业有关，但都不是对话中

提到的会议的主题。

9、D

[听力原文]

What is the man going to suggest?

[解析] 事实细节题。问题询问“男士将要提出什么建议?”。男士提到他将要提出ways to improve our sales，这与选项D的内容相同，故选项D为本

题答案。

[避错指南] 可以说这一题与上一题是相关的，关键还是要抓住sales一词，这样就可以将干扰项排除了。选项A意为“培训新员工”，选项B意为“开发

新产品”，选项C意为“调查新市场”。

10、A

[听力原文]

Who is going to give a report on sales in San Francisco?

[解析] 事实细节题。问题询问“准将在旧金山市作销售报告?”对话末尾提到了Allan将会在旧金山市作销售报告，由此可知本题应选A。

[避错指南] 根据对话最后提到的作销售报告的人是he，可知做报告的人不

可能是正在对话的两个人，因此可以先将选项B和选项C排除。选项D(演讲嘉宾)并没有在对话中提及，也可以排除。

[解析] 本题考查used to do这一结构。如果熟悉used to do这一结构，不难选出正确选项应为选项A。used to do意为“过去常常做……”。

[避错指南] used to do常常会与be used to doing混淆，be used to doing意为“习惯做……”两者除了意思不同外，也可从时态上加以区别：

used to do中的used是“动词”use的一般过去时，这一结构只能用于一般过去时态；be used to doing中的be动词可有各种时态的变化，这一结构可用

于过去、现在或将来时态。

19、C

[解析] 本题考查谓语动词的时态。句子开头的时间状语由Since引出，这种时间状语应与现在完成时的谓语动词搭配，可见，本题空白处的谓语应为现在完

成时的选项C。

[避错指南] 现在完成时表示“一段时间”内完成的动作，与其相应的时问

状语通常由since或for引出。选项A是一般现在时，选项B是一般过去时，

选项D是一般将来时，这些时态都不能与since引出的时间状语搭配。

20、D

[解析] 本题考查比较级。本句句末的than…表明空白处应为形容词或副词的

比较级，在本题的四个选项中，只有选项D是比较级，故选项D为本题答案。

[避错指南] 选项A和选项B是形容词的原级，选项A用于修饰可数名词，

选项B用于修饰不可数名词，两者同为“许多的……”的意思，比较级同为more。选项C的most用于三者和三者以上的比较，表示“最……”。当其做最高级时，应在前面加the。另外，much也可甩作副词，如在本题中没有than及其后的部分，空白处可选用much(做副词)，learn much about your

cus tomers“多多地了解客户”。

21、A

[解析] 本题考查与detail搭配的介词。空白处与detail应构成一个状语，说明对客户了解的“程度”，可与detail搭配的介词只有in，in detail意为

“详细地”的意思。

[避错指南] 其他选项的介词都不可以与detail搭配。

22、B

[解析] 本题考查状语从句的联系词。空白处前后的内容应构成因果关系，表示因果关系的状语从句联系词只有选项B。

[避错指南] 选项A(though)用于引出让步状语从句，意为“虽然；尽管”；选项C(unless)用于引出条件状语从句，意为“除非……”；选项D(until)用

于引出时间状语从句，意为“直到……”。

23、C

[解析] 本题考查状语从句的联系词。根据主句和从句的内容可推断，从句可以是条件状语或让步状语。条件状语从句通常由if(如果)，unless(除非)，as long as(只要)等引除，让步状语从句通常由though/although， even

though/even if, no mater…/however/whatever…引出，though和although

意为“虽然”，even if/ even though意为“即使”，no

mater…/however/whatever…意为“无论……”。在四个选项中，选项C和选

项D都可用于引出让步状语从句，两者相比，选项C在词义上更适合本句句意

的要求。

[避错指南] 选项A本身就是错误的，正确的用法应该是no

sooner...than...，意为“一……就……”，no sooner后为主句部分，动词

要用过去完成时，而且动词要与主语倒装，than后为从句部分，动词为一般过

去时，如NO Sooner had he drunk his coffee than he left，(他一喝完咖

啡就走了。)选项B用于引出时间状语从句，意为“自从……”。

24、C

[解析] 本题考查it takes sb..., to do sth．的结构。it takes sb. (money, time, etc.)to do sth.意为“需要花费某人(钱、时间等)去做某事”，根据这一结构可见本题应选选项C。

[避错指南] 只要熟悉这一结构，干扰项不难排除。

25、B

[解析] 本题考查与过去事实相反的虚拟语气句。根据主句时态could have visited可推断本句陈述的与“过去”事实相反，在这样的虚拟语气的条件从

句中，动词时态应为过去完成时had done，因此，本题应选B。

[避错指南] 虚拟语气在非真实条件句中的时间变化包括：(1)与过去事实相反的，主可谓语为would/should/could/might +had done，条件从句谓语为

had+过去分词；(2)与现在事实相反的，主语谓语为

would/should/could/might+动词原形，条件从句谓语为动词过去式或were；(3)与将来事实相反的，主语谓语为would//should/could/might+动词原形，

条件从句谓语为动词过去式，或为should+动词原形，又或为were to+动词原形。

Section B

26、achievement

[解析] 本题考查动词和名词的转化。空格前的冠词the及其后的形容词表明空格处应为名词，achieve是动词，可通过在其后加后缀-ment变成适合本题要求的名词achievement。

[避错指南] 动词变化为名词时，可以添加的后缀很多，除了-ment之外，

还有-tion，-ance -ence等，如：predict—prediction(预言)；assist—assistance(协助)；exist—existence(存在)等。

27、effectively

[解析] 本题考查形容词和副词的转化。空格前后的deal-with是动词词组，故空格处必须是副词，才可用于修饰动词deal with，因此，应将effective加

上后缀-ly变成适合本题要求的副词effectively。

[避错指南] 副词通常用于修饰动词或形容词。英语中很多形容词转换成副

词的时候要在单词词尾加-ly，如great— greatly，但是值得注意的是并非所

有以-ly结尾的单词都是副词，一些名词之后加-ly构成的却是形容词，如friend— friendly，love—lovely等。

28、is devoted

[解析] 本题考查be devoted to这一用法。通过对句子的成分分析可以判断空格处应为谓语动词。be devoted to意为“专门用于……”，根据句子开头的Generally可以判断句子的动词应为一般现在时，因此，应将devote改为一般

现存时的被动形式is devoted。

[避错指南] devote其实是个及物动词，如果将其用于主动形式，其后必须

带一个宾语，即devote...to...。在本题中，空格处和其后的to之间并没有

宾语，这表明，如果简单地在空格处填写devote的第三人称单数的主动形devotes，就违反了devote作为及物动词的用法要求。通常来说，devote的用

法如下：sb. devote sth. to...意为“某人把……贡献给……，某人把……用于……”而sth. be devoted to除了意为被动的“某物贡献给……，某物被用于……”之外，还常表示“专门用于……/致力于……”，如：Her life was devoted to caring for the sick and needy，(她一生都致力于照顾贫病交迫的人们。)

29、required

[解析] 本题考查动词和形容词的转化。空格处前的冠词和其后的名词表明空格处应为形容词。require是动词，可通过在其后加上-ed，变为适合本题要求的

形容词required。

[避错指南] 一般来说，可将动词转变为形容词的后缀通常有-able/-ible, -ive和-ent，如rely(依赖)一reliable(可靠的)impress(使……有印象)—impressive(留下深刻印象的)，depend(依靠)—dependent(有依赖性的)。另外，有些动词还可以将它们的现在分词和过去分词用作形容词，如interest(引起

兴趣)—interesting(有趣的)一interested(感兴趣的)。

30、finding

[解析] 本题考查介词后宾语的形式。介词in后应接名词或动词的-ing形式，

因此，本题填写动词find的动名词形式finding。

[避错指南] 不管介词单独使用，还是出现存名词词组、动词词组或形容同

词组里，其后都应为名词或动词的-ing形式。

31、to inform

[解析] 本题考查动词ask后的补足语的形式。ask通常可以用于ask sb. to

do sth.这个结构中，不定式to do为宾语补足语。在本句当中，空白处应为动词不定式to inform。

[避错指南] 与ask用法相同的动词还有advise, allow, beg, cause,

command, encourage, expect, forbid, force, get, help, intend, invite, leave, mean, oblige, order, permit, persuade, request, require, remind, teach, tell, trouble, want, warn, wish等，简单来说，它们都可

用于v.+sb. to do的结构，不定式to do做补足语。

32、successful

[解析] 本题考查名词和形容词的转化。空格前的be动词表明空格处应为形容词，因此应将名词success转换为形容词successful。

[避错指南] 我们通常可以在名词后加上某个形容词后缀，从而将名词转化

为形容词，具此功能的形容词后缀有：-ful(如careful, helpful等)，-al(如musical, cultural等)，-y(如tasty, salty, windy等)，-ous(如dangerous, courageous等)，-ish(如foolish，childish等), -ly(如friendly, lovely 等)。

33、suggestion

[解析] 本题考查动词和名词的转化。空格前的冠词a表明空格应为名词，suggest是动词，可通过在其后加上后缀-tion，变成适合本题要求的名词suggestion。

[避错指南] 动词变化为名词时，可以添加的后缀很多，除了-tion之外，

还有-ment, ance, -ence等，如：pay—payment(支付); assist—

assistance(协助)；exist—existence(存在)等。

34、be delivered

[解析] 本题考查情态动词后的动词形式和语态。空格前的should是情态动词，其后的动词应保持原形，另外，该句主语与所提供的动词deliver应构成被动

关系，两个因素结合可确定空格应为deliver的被动语态的原形be delivered。 [避错指南] 情态动词包括：will, would, shall should, can, could, may, might和must，它们的特点就是其后的动词应保持原形，可简略表示为：情态动词+do/be。

35、has become

[解析] 本题考查动词的现在完成时。本题开头的时间状语in the past

decade(在过去的十年里)表示一个持续性的时间，即表示从十年前持续至今，

对应的动词时态应该是现在完成时。空格前的主语email为单数名词，因此，

应将become改写为第三人称单数的现在完成时has become。

[避错指南] 每种时态都搭配相应的时间状语；句中有often, usually, sometimes等时间状语，动词常用一般现在时；句中有last week, yesterday, in 2000等时间状语，多用一般过去时；句中有tomorrow, next year等时间

状语，多用将来时；句中有aready, yet, for, since等时间状语，多用完成时。

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension

Task 1

36、C

事实细节题。本题询问“将你要举办家庭旧物销售会的消息告诉别人最好的方

法是什么?”。本题的解题关键在于理解题目中的getting out the news(把消

息传出去)和原文第一句中的get the word out及第2句中的advertising意

思相同，这样，不难发现本题答案就是第。2句is后的不定式部分，选项C(在地方报纸上做广告)与此同义，故为本题答案。

[避错指南] 选项A(通过网络公布消息)、选项B(挨家挨户宣传)和选项

D(打电话给邻居们)都没有原文依据。只要抓隹选项的关键词，如选项A中online，选项B中的door-to-door，选项C中的local newspaper和选项D中

的phone calls，再到文章当中查找，就可以轻松地确定只有选项C的关键词

有在原问提及。

37、D

事实细节题。本题询问在销售会至少两天前刊登广告的目的。第1段最后一句

开头的That way(这样)表明该句构成一种因果关系，该句是结果，也可以视为

目的，选项D(事先决定路线)与原文该句内容相同，故为本题答案。

[避错指南] 只要注意到第1段最后一句开头的That way所隐含的上下文的因果关系，在将选项与原文内容对比，不难将干扰项排除，干扰选项A(为参加

销售会准备足够的现金)、选项B(对比货品的价格)和选项C(选好要买的货品)

都与第1段最后两句提到的内容无关。

38、D

事实细节题。本题询问“为什么要将告示牌放置在社区中心?”根据题干中的community center(社区中心)可先定位到第2段第2句，虽然原文并没有直接

提到一种因果关系，但该句中的such as…表明community center就属于前面

提到的places where people gather(人流密集的地方)之一，由此可推断，将

告示牌放在社区中心，是因为“那里人流密集”，由此可见，本题应选D。

[避错指南] 本题稍具干扰性的是选项A(附近有学校)和选项C(学生常约在

那里见面)，这两个选项中的school, students与第2段最后两句有关，但要

注意的是，这两句与community center所在的那句话相隔很远，这几句话在原文中的位置是并列的，并列说明哪些地方用于放置告示牌最好，换句话说，这

些句子各自的内容独立，不应互相掺杂在一起。

39、B

理解判断题。本题询问“最后一段提到关于告示牌的印刷有什么建议?”选项B

与该段第4句前半部分提到的建议内容相同，故为本题答案。

[避错指南] 选项A(要用彩色的告示牌)中的关键词colored、选项C(应包

含大张的照片)中的关键词large pictures和选项D(应提供电话号码)中的关

键词phone numbers均没有在该段提及，可见这些选项均缺乏原文依据。

40、A

主旨大意题。本文在开头第一句就明确指出了文章的目的：要成功举办家庭旧

物销售会，关键在于“广而告之”。接下来的段落主要就是介绍“广而告之”

的方法：第1段介绍如何刊登报刊广告，第2段和第3段介绍如何使用告示牌。总结来看，本文的关键词就是“家庭旧物销售会”和“宣传”，选项A将这两

项主要内容都包括在内了，故本题应选A。

[避错指南] 原文并没有提及关于选项B(家庭旧物销售会的好处)中的advantages(好处)或选项C(家庭旧物销售会的重要性)中的importance(重要性)，故这两个选项均不正确；选项D(为家庭旧物销售会印制广告)中的

printing ads(印刷广告)只是原文的部分内容，不足以概括全文。
