which attempt to explain the American English term OK/ We dont know if either story is true/ but they are both interesting/The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education/ In fact/ he had difficulty reading and writing/ When important papers came to Jackson/ he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said/ If he approved of a paper/ he would write “all correct” on it/ The problem was that he didnt know how to spell/ so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”/ After a while/ he shortened that term to “OK”/The second

BurenB/ in a presidential electionC/ to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD/ by the members of the “Old Kinderhook Club”Passage 2Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate/ and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree/ In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester/ A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks/ while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester/ Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year/ It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period/ It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course/ though this is not in fact done as a regular practice/For every course that he follows a student is given a grade/ which is recorded/ and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers/ All this imposes（施加）a constant（持续不断的）pressure and strain （负担）of work/ but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs/ Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm/ The student organizations are effective in ensuring that the students observe university regulations/ Any student who is thought to have broken the rules/ for example/ by cheating has to appear before a student court/ With the enormous numbers of students/ the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity/ A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career/ 16/ Normally an American

for social activities Passage 3Yuppies are young people who earn a lot of money and live in a style that is too expensive for most people/ If you are invited to a Yuppie dinner party/ dont be surprised if you are offered freshly cooked insects as a first course/ While the idea of eating fried insects fills most of us with horror/ insect eating is becoming highly fashionable/ For example/ in the media industry/ successful managers are often seen to eat fried or boiled insects from time to time while working at their desks/ These safe-to-eat insects can be found and ordered on the Internet/ And young people are logging on to foreign food websites and ordering samples of prepared insects to serve at their dinner parties/ Although the idea of eating insects is probably disgusting to most of us/ few people would claim that pigs/ chickens and some kinds of seafood we often eat are examples of great beauty/ One day/ insects would be marketed and sold as a food item in supermarkets/ According to their fans of Yuppies/ they are not only healthy/ but also very tasty/ But until our attitudes to food change/ it seems that insects eaters will remain a select few/21/ Why did the speaker say we might be surprised at the Yuppie dinner party? A/ Because we might be offered a dish of freshly cooked insects as a first course/ B/ Because nothing but freshly cooked insects are served/ C/ Because some Yuppies like to horrify guests with insects as food/ D/ Because we might meet many successful managers in the media industry/ 22/ Where can people order the unusual food mentioned by the speaker?A/ From Yuppie clubs/ B/ In the supermarket/ C/ In the seafood market/ D/ On the Internet/23/ Why are Yuppies attracted by the unusual food?A/ Its easy to prepare/ B/ Its tasty and healthful/ C/ Its exotic in appearance/ D/ Its safe to eat/24/ What does the speaker say about the future of this type of unusual food?A/ It will be consumed by more and more young people/ B/ It will become the first course at dinner parties/ C/ It will have to be changed to suit local tastes/ D/ It is unlikely to be enjoyed by most people/25/ Why did the author write such a passage?A/ Look down upon Yuppies/B/ Enjoy the life of Yuppies/C/ Introduce the life of Yuppies/D/ Want to be Yuppies/Passage 4We can make mistakes at any age/ Some mistakes we make are about money/ But most mistakes are about people/ “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job/ did Jerry really feel good about it as a friend?” Or “Did he envy my luck?” When we look back/ doubts like these can make us feel bad/ But when we look back/ its too late/Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning/ And if we dont really listen/ we miss the feeling behind the words/ Suppose someone tells you/ “youre a lucky dog/” Is he really on your side? If he says/ “Youre a lucky guy” or “Youre a lucky gal”/ thats being friendly/ But “lucky dog”? Theres a bit of envy in those words/ Maybe he doesnt see it himself/ But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little/ What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you deserve your luck/How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking/ Do his words fit the way he looks? His posture (体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think/ The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake/26/ From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker _/A/ feels happy/ thinking of how nice his friends were to himB/ feels he may not have “read” his friends true feelings correctlyC/ thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend/ HelenD/ is sorry that his friends let him down27/ In the second paragraph/ the author uses the example of “Youre a lucky dog” to show that _/A/ the speaker of this sentence is just being friendlyB/ this saying means the same as “Youre a lucky guy” or “Youre a lucky gal”C/ sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the wordsD/ the word “dog” shouldnt be used to apply to people28/ This passage tries to tell you how to _/A/ avoid mistakes about money and friendsB/ bring the “dog” bit into our conversationC/ avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell youD/ keep people friendly without trusting them29/ In listening to a person/ the important thing is _/A/ to notice his tone/ his posture/ and the look in his eyesB/ to listen to how he pronounces his wordsC/ not to believe what he saysD/ to check his words against his manner/ the look in his eyes/ and his posture 30/ If you followed the advice of the writer/ you would _/A/ be able to get the real meaning of what people say to youB/ avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy youC/ not lose real friends who say things that do not please youD/ be able to observe people as they are talking to you第三部分：词汇和结构 （共25小题；每小题1分，满分25分）第一节：此小节共有15个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请你从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并用铅笔将答题卡上的相应字母涂黑。示例 A B C D 31/ You should _some money instead of spending it all/A/ save up B/ cost C/ waste D/ take32/ This is the house in _ Lu Xun once lived in the 20s/ A/ that B/ whichC/ whoseD/ whom33/ _enough manpower and financial support/ we certainly can finish the work/A/ As ifB/ AlthoughC/ GivenD/ Because34/ What is the _ for the sandstorm ?A/ reasonB/ causeC/ effectD/ fact35/ Students dont go to school _Sundays/ A/ inB/ atC/ onD/ to36/ There was little hope _proper medicine could be found/A/ if B/ if not C/ with D/ unless37/ I believed his wife _for him just as I was praying for James/A/ should be prayingB/ must be praying C/ would be prayingD/ must pray 38/ Its difficult to find a _ around here in Beijing for less than 2000 yuan/ A/ two-bedroom apartment B/ two-bedrooms apartmentC/ two-bedroom apartments D/ two-bedrooms apartments39/ The pictures of the moon taken from the spacecraft are _ than those taken from the earth/ A/ clear B/ much clearer C/ more clearer D/ the clearest40/ It was in 2001_ this type of car began to be popular with the teenagers/ A/ which B/ then C/ when D/ that41/ Both China and Japan _ located in the east of Asia/ A/ are B/ beC/ is D/ was42/ He is so honest _ every student in our class loves him/A/ why B/ which C/ when D/ that 43/ It is not that I am unwilling to help you _Im very busy/A/ so B/ orC/ but that D/ that 44/ Well go on with the experiment _he approves _disapp
