Part I Vocabulary and Structure (30%)
Direction: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that best completes the sentence, and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
1. I was in that I forgot to lock the door when I left.
A. so a hurry B. such a hurry C.a so hurry 考点：固定结构的使用。 句意：我如此匆忙以至于离开的时候忘了去锁门。
D. a such hurry
详解：so+形容词+a/an+名词=such+a/an+形容词+名词，意为“如此...的一...”。如：如此有用 的一本书=so useful a book=such a useful book。从结构得知，本题选 B。 语法迁移：forget to do sth. 忘记要去做某事（实际上未做）；forget doing sth. 忘记做了某事 （实际上已做了）。
2. I am worried about my brother. I am not sure he has arrived at the school or not. A. whether B. what C. when D. how 考点：宾语从句。 句意：我担心我的兄弟。我不确定他是否已到了学校。
详解：横线前主语是 I，谓语是 am not sure，谓语后原本是宾语的位置被“引导词+陈述句” 的语序所替代，称为宾语从句。whether 是否，常与 or not 连用。what 什么。when 当... 的时候，表时间。how 如何；怎样。结合句意，选 A。 语法迁移：宾语从句中，表示“是否”，whether=if，但是从句中含有 or not，只能用 whether。
3. She is old enough on her own. A. live B. to live C. living D. be living 考点：固定结构的使用。 句意：她年纪足够大去独自生活。
详解：be+形容词+enough+to do sth. 意为“足够...去做某事”。故本题选 B。 语法迁移：on sb’s own=by oneself 独自地；单独地。

5. I do not have my own room, . A. neither does Tom B. neither has Tom 考点：省略句。
C. so does Tom
D. so has Tom
1
句意：我没有（属于）自己的房间，汤姆也是（汤姆也没有属于自己的房间）。 详解：逗号前的句子是否定，因此省略句的连词只能用 neither/nor，即排除 C 和 D。逗号前 的时态是一般现在时，参考 do not have。Tom 是第三人称单数，一般现在时，用助动词 does。 故本题选 A。B 是属于现在完成时的省略句，表否定。如：I have not finished my homework, neither/nor has Tom. 我还没写完作业，汤姆也是（汤姆也没写完作业）。

9. By the time you come back, I cleaning the house. A. will finish B. will have finished C. have finished 考点：动词时态。 句意：到你回来的时候，我将已经把房子打扫完毕。

详解：other 后常跟复数名词，表泛指。the other 后常跟复数名词，表特指。another 另外 的（三者或三者以上范围）。others 相当于 other+复数名词，表泛指。another+基数词+名词 =基数词+more+名词，意为“另外...” 如 another one week=one more week；another two days=two more days。故答案选 C。

3
虑主语 this trip 与选项 ABCD 原形(begin)之间的逻辑关系。判断得知，this trip 与 begin 之间 的逻辑关系应为主谓（主动）关系。故答案选 A。选项 B 是过去分词表被动或完成。选项 C 是不定式表目的或将来。选项 D 是完成式的主动形式。

Reading Comprehension(40%)
Direction: In this section, there are four passages, each of which is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. Choose the best and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1
This past fall semester, at Duke University, there were two students who were taking Organic Chemistry. They did pretty well on all of the tests and the midterms and labs, etc. , such that going into the final they had a solid “A”. These two friends were so confident going into the final that the weekend before finals’ week, even though the Chemistry final was on Monday, they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and have a party with some friends up there. So
6
they did this and had a great time. However, with the aftereffects of alcohol and everything, they overslept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to Duke until early Monday morning.
Rather than taking the final then, what they did was to find Professor Aldric after the final and explain to him why they missed the final. They told him that they went up to UVA for the weekend, and had planned to come back in time to study, but they had a flat tire (爆胎) on the way back and didn’t have a spare and couldn’t get help for a long time and so were late getting back to campus.
Aldric thought this over and then agreed that they could make up the final on the following day. The two guys were overjoyed and relieved. So, they studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Aldric had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet and told them to begin.
They looked at the first problem, which was something simple about free radical formation and was worth 5 points. “Cool,” they thought, “this is going to be easy.” They did that problem and then turned the page. They were unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next page.
It said: (95 points) Which tire was flat?
译文：上个秋季学期，杜克大学两名学有机化学的二年级学生。他们每次测验的成绩都 不错，期中考试和实验课等等的成绩也很好，以致期末考试时他们已经稳稳当当地拿到了 A。 这两个朋友对期末考试充满了信心，在考试周到来的前一个周末，尽管周一就是化学考试， 他们还是决定去弗吉尼亚大学和朋友们聚聚。他们不仅去了，而且玩得很开心。可是，由于 宿醉等等原因，整个星期天他们都睡过去了，直到周一清早才回到杜克大学。
他俩没有当时就参加考试，而是在考试结束之后找到阿尔德里克教授，跟他解释为什么 他们没能参加考试。他们告诉他周末他们去了弗吉尼亚大学，本来是打算按时回来学习的， 可是回来的路上他们的车胎漏了气，又没有备用轮胎，好长时间也没找到人帮忙，所以回到 学校就晚了。
阿尔德里克教授仔细想了想，然后同意他们第二天补考。两个人兴高采烈，愁眉尽展。 那天晚上他们好好准备了一下，第二天按阿尔德里克说的时间来考试了。他把他们安排在不 同的教室里，给了每人一份考卷，告诉他们可以开始（答题）了。
他们看了第一道考题，挺简单的，是关于自由基的形成，占 5 分。“太棒了，”他们想， “看来不会太难。”他们做完那道题，翻到了第二页。对于这一页的考题，他们可是毫无准 备。
上面的问题是：(95 分) 哪一只轮胎瘪了？
31. The two students decided to visit their friends at the weekend because . A. they didn’t want to take the exam B. they were invited by their friends

32. They didn’t return as planned because . A. they got lost on their way back

A. 他们在回程途中迷路了。 B. 他们睡过头了。
C. 他们的车在回程途中坏了。

解析：从第一段最后一句“with the aftereffects of alcohol and everything, they overslept all day ”得知，因为宿醉，而且“overslept”正是“睡过头”的意思，锁定本题选 B。oversleep=sleep beyond the time。
33. How did the Professor arrange the make-up exam? A. He made the exam booklet very long. B. He gave them different exam papers. C. He asked a very surprising question.
D. He gave them very limited time to finish the paper. 33. 题目：阿尔德里克教授是如何安排补考？
A. 他把考卷的题目出得很冗长。 B. 他把不同的考卷分发给他们做。
C. 他在试卷里出了一道让他们摸不着头脑的问题。
D. 他留了非常少的时间给他们完成答卷。 解析：结合全文，锁定最后一段，即文章最后一句“It said: (95 points) Which tire was
flat?”，一般补考试卷的内容是根据所学内容而编写的，但教授却出了一道与课本内容无关 的题目。因此本题选 C。
34. When they took the first glance at the exam booklet, they thought .
A. it was easy B. it was too much C. it was too difficult D. it was reasonable 34. 题目：当两名学生看了一眼考试试卷时，他们觉得（考卷） 。

Passage 2
A large, detached ( 独立的) house not only ensures privacy. It is also a status symbol. The “magnificent home” is set in a big garden. Of course, this kind of house is an unrealistic dream for most people. But even a small detached house, surrounded by a garden, gives the required suggestion of rural life which is dear to the hearts of many British people. Most people would be happy to live in a cottage ( 村 舍 ), and if this is a thatched ( 茅 草 的 ) cottage, suggestive of a pre-industrial age, so much the better.
Most people try to avoid living in a block of flats (what the Americans call “apartment blocks”). Flats, they feel, provide the least amount of privacy. With a few exceptions, mostly in certain locations in central London, flats are the cheapest kind of home. The people who live in them are those who cannot afford to live anywhere else.
The dislike of living in flats is very strong. In the 1950s millions of poorer people lived in old, cold, uncomfortable nineteenth century houses, often with only an outside toilet and no bathroom. During the next twenty years many of them were given new “high rise” blocks of flats to live in which, with central heating and bathrooms, were much more comfortable and were surrounded by grassy open spaces. But people hated their new homes. They said they felt cut off from the world with all those floors up. They missed the neighborliness. They couldn’t keep a watchful eye on their children playing down there in those lovely green spaces. The new high-rise blocks quickly got broken. The lifts didn’t work. The corridors were dark. Windows were damaged and were not repaired. There was graffiti all over the walls.
译文：拥有一所独立的大房子不仅能保证隐私，同时也是一种身份的象征。当然，这种 坐落在大花园里的“富丽堂皇的房子”对于大多数人来说，只是一个不切实际的梦想。但是， 即使是一个被花园围绕的独立小屋，也能带来一种多数英国人心心向往的乡村生活的感觉。 很多人都非常乐意住在村舍里，如果是那种能让人联想到前工业化时代的茅草村舍，那就更 好了。
大多数人都尽量不住公寓楼（美国人称之为“公寓楼”）。因为他们觉得公寓楼最不能保 证隐私。除去少数情况，大多数坐落在伦敦市中心的公寓楼属于最便宜的住宅类型。住在那 里的人一般都没有能力住到其他地方去。
这种对公寓住房的反感情绪十分强烈。20 世纪 50 年代，数以百万计的穷人住在 19 世 纪的房子里。这些房子又旧又冷，非常不舒服，通常只有一个室外厕所，没有独立卫生间。 而接下来的二十年里，他们当中的许多人又住进了新的“高楼”公寓，里面有中央供暖设备
9
和卫生间，房子周围是长满青草的空地，相比之下舒适得多。但是人们并不喜欢他们的新家。 他们感觉自己和外面的世界隔绝了，到处都是冰冷的地板。他们怀念那种邻里之谊，享受那 种能看着孩子们在那片可爱的草地上玩耍的情景。那些高楼公寓很快就变得破败不堪。电梯 坏了，走廊里一片漆黑，窗户坏了也没有人修理，墙上到处都是涂鸦。
36. British people prefer . A. flats to detached houses B. cottages to flats C. modern houses to old houses D. city life to country life 36. 题目：英国人 。
A. 比起独立房子，更喜欢公寓住房。 B. 比起公寓住房，更喜欢村舍。 C. 比起老房子，更喜欢现代的房子。 D. 比起农村生活，更喜欢城市生活。
解析：从第一段“Most people would be happy to live in a cottage”得知，英国人是喜欢住在 村舍。从第二段“Most people try to avoid living in a block of flats”得知，英国人是尽量避免 住在公寓住房。因此本题答案选 B
37. A garden is considered to be desirable because .
A. it’s British B. it appears rural C. gardening is popular D. children like gardens 37. 题目：人们渴望拥有一个花园，是因为 。
A. 它是英式的。
B. 它显现出乡村气息。 C. 园艺深受人们欢迎。 D. 孩子们喜爱花园。
解析：从第一段“surrounded by a garden, gives the required suggestion of rural life which is dear to the hearts of many British people”得知本题答案选 B。
38. British people don’t like to live in blocks of flats because . A. they want more privacy B. flats are too small C. flats are in expensive areas D. they dislike the neighbors there 38. 题目：英国人不喜欢住在“高楼”公寓，是因为 。
A. 他们想要更多的隐私。 B. 公寓住房的面积太小了。 C. 公寓的房价很高。
D. 他们不喜欢公寓房的邻居。
解析：从第二段“Flats, they feel, provide the least amount of privacy.”得知，公寓给人们最少 的隐私空间，而人都是想要私人空间，英国人也不例外。因此本题选 A。
39. Compared with the 19th century houses, the new high-rise blocks . A. were in better locations B. were warmly welcomed C. were much better equipped D. were much more expensive 39. 题目：与 19 世纪的房子相比，新的“高楼”公寓 。
A. 地理位置更加优越。 B. 深受欢迎。 C. 配套的家具更齐全。 D. 房价更高。
10
解析：从最后一段“old, cold, uncomfortable nineteenth century houses 和 with only an outside toilet and no bathroom.”得知，19 世纪的房子又旧又冷，非常不舒服，而且只有一个室外厕所，没 有 独 立 卫 生 间 。 但 “ new “high rise” blocks of flats to live in which, with central heating and bathrooms, were much more comfortable and were surrounded by grassy open spaces.”新的“高
楼”公寓，里面有中央供暖设备和卫生间，房子周围是长满青草的空地，相比之下舒适得多。故本题选 C。
40. Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?
A. British Culture B. Houses, Not Flats C. British Dream D. Kinds of Houses 40. 题目：以下哪个选项能作为本文的最佳标题？
A. 英国文化。 B. 住房，非公寓住房。 C. 英国梦。 D. 住房类型。 解析：选项 A 范围太大了，本文只是以住房文化为主，故排除 A。排除选项 C，毫无关联。 选项 D，房子的类型，本文不是介绍房子的类型。本文是讲述英国人不喜欢住公寓，喜欢住 独立的大房子。故本题选 B。
Passage 3
When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons’ good points, things will be quite different.
One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we neglect to praise our son or daughter when he or she brings home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval.
The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it is excellently prepared, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it. Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreciative comment. What applies to professionals applies doubly to workers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.
Try to be friendly and appreciative in your daily life, and you’ll be surprised how they will change your life and the world.
译文：我们不去专心思考某个明确问题时，常常花费大约 95%的时间去考虑我们自己。 现在，如果我们暂时停止考虑自己，开始去想别人的优点，事情就会变得截然不同。
我们日常生活中最容易忽略的美德之一就是赞赏。不知何故，当儿女从学校带回家一份 出色的成绩报告时，我们常常忘记去赞扬他们。当儿女第一次成功烤出蛋糕或搭建一个鸟巢 时，我们未曾给予过任何鼓励与支持。父母亲的这种关心和赞许最能让孩子们开心。
下次你欣赏到俱乐部里漂亮的烤里脊肉时，要转告厨师，烤里脊肉做得很棒；当一名神 情疲惫的售货员向你露出异乎寻常的礼貌时，请赞扬这一点。
每一位牧师、演讲者和公共发言人都知道，当他们对观众倾其所有演讲却得不到一丝赞 扬时，是多么沮丧。适用于专业人员的东西，对办公室、商店和工厂的员工，以及我们的亲 友加倍适用。在我们的人际关系中，我们千万不要忘记我们结交的都是人，都渴望赞赏。这

在日常生活中，要设法留下感激的小小火花，留下友谊的痕迹。你会惊讶地发现，这些 小小举措会改变你的人生甚至整个世界。

Passage 4
Industrial robots are already working in many factories around the world and in our homes, for instance as smart vacuum cleaners. Scientists say in a few years we will start seeing so-called “social robots,” capable of engaging with people.
Today’s robots can build cars and explore underwater objects. But interacting with people is more complex than simply taking an incoming message, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal.
“Social robots really interact with people in ways you feel like you’re interacting with someone rather than something,” she said. “And social robots are really designed to engage you in much more of an interaction that feels like a cooperation or partnership.”
At the Naval Research Laboratory, near Washington, scientists are researching which features robots should have to be able to live with humans. Researcher Alan Schultz says social robots must be adapted to social situations.
“You know if you’re going to have robots out in the wild, so to speak, they have to follow our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect, so that we can move about our environment and not be interrupted by them or have to think hard about the fact that they’re around us,” he said.
Social robots do not necessarily have to have a human face. Steve Cousins, the CEO of Savioke Robotics in Cupertino, California, says their robot called Botlr is already being tested in a hotel, delivering small items to people.
“It’s designed to be in human space and interact with people and around people,” he said.
13
“So it interacts with the front desk agent when they’re sending it somewhere. It interacts with people in the elevator as it’s going along. And, it interacts with people at the door when the delivery arrives.”
So far, social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying messages or taking family photos. But Cynthia Breazeal, who designed this one, says their abilities may be extended into many different areas.
译文：工业机器人在世界各地的工厂包括家庭中都已经有所应用，例如智能真空吸尘器。 科学家表示，几年后，我们将会开始看到所谓的“社交机器人”，它们能够和人打交道。
今天我们所使用的机器人可以用来制造汽车或探索水下物体。但麻省理工学院研究员 Cynthia Breazeal 表示，与人进行交流可比单纯的接收信息复杂得多。 “社交机器人与人类之间的互动方式会让你觉得你是在和另外一个人互动，而不是和某 东西在互动，”她说道。“它的设计初衷就是为了能让人们参与更多社会互动，建立一种合作 或伙伴关系。”
在华盛顿附近的海军研究实验室里，科学家们正在研究机器人要能够和人类共同生活， 需要具备什么样的特征。研究者艾伦·舒尔茨则表示，社交机器人必须要适应社会环境。
他说“如果要让机器人在自然社会环境下生活，可以这么说，它们必须遵守我们的标准， 必须按照我们的预期行事，这样我们才能够在周围环境中活动，而不会被它们打扰，或者说 不必去担心它们在周围会打扰到我们。”
社交机器人不一定要具有人类的面孔。加州库比蒂诺市 Savioke 机器人公司的 CEO 史蒂 夫·考辛斯说，他们的 Botlr 机器人已经在一家酒店进行了测试，能够向人们提供一些小件 物品。
“它就是被设计成能够在人类的空间里，和人或周围的人进行互动的。”“所以把它放在 前台，它就会跟前台的人互动，在电梯里就会和电梯里的人互动，同样收到快递时会跟站在 门口的快递员互动。
到目前为止，社交机器人仅限于能完成一些非常简单的任务，比如传递消息或者拍摄家 庭照片。但是机器人设计师辛西娅·布雷泽尔说，机器人的功能也可以扩展到许多不同的领 域中去。
46. What will social robots do according to the scientists? A. They will cooperate with people. B. They will clean the big house.
C. They will explore underwater objects. D. They will build different kinds of cars.
46. 题目：从科学家口中得知，社交机器人在未来会做什么？
A. 它们会与人们合作共事。 B. 它们会清理大房间。 C. 它们会探索水下物体。
D. 它们会制造不同类型的汽车。 解析：科学家的说话是在第一段，故本题锁定第一段的内容。从第一段““social robots,” capable of engaging with people.”得知，“社交机器人”，它们能够和人打交道。本题选 A。
47. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Social robots are more difficult to design.
14
B. Industrial robots are more complicated to design.
C. Social robots can be more useful than industrial robots. D. Industrial robots can do less than social robots. 47. 题目：根据文章，以下哪个陈述是正确的？
A. （比起工业机器人），设计社交机器人，更为复杂。 B. （比起社交机器人），设计工业机器人，更为复杂。 C. 社交机器人的用途比工业机器人更广。
D. 工业机器人能做的事比社交机器人要少。 解析：从每一段都提及到社交机器人制造的复杂性，以及最后一段的“social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying messages or taking family photos.”即：目前研发的社交机器人 能完成的事只限于小事，因此技术还有待提高与完善。故本题选 A。
48. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. social robots only serve the people they like B. it’s better for social robots to work in a hotel C. it’s better for social robots to have a human face
D. social robots will be under the control of human beings 48. 题目：从文章可以推断出： 。
A. 社交机器人只服务于它们喜欢的人们。 B. 社交机器人更适合在酒店里工作。 C. 社交机器人拥有一副人脸会更好。 D. 社交机器人将会受到人类的控制。
解析：从第五段“they have to follow our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect, so that we can move about our environment and not be interrupted by them”得知，社 交机器人的活动受限制，是必须根据人类设置的标准去做事。故本题选 D。
49. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The function of social robots B. The use of industrial robots. C. The daily life of robots. D. The way of designing robots. 49. 题目：文主要讲述什么？
A. 社交机器人的作用/功能。 B. 工业机器人的使用。 C. 机器人的日常生活。

66. 假设你是李明，最近参加了某旅行社（travel agency）组织的一次旅游，但你对此 旅行很不满意。请你向客服（customer service）写一封投诉信，阐述投诉的原因（如：酒店、 饮食、交通及费用等）并提出你期待的解决办法。
Suggested Answer：
A Letter of Complaint
Dear Customer Service,
I am writing to tell you about a most unpleasant experience, that is , the service your travel agency offered last week made me disappointed.
First and foremost, you had promised me a seven-star hotel before the trip began. However, I realized it was just a three-star hotel the moment I reached the destination. Besides, during my stay at your designated hotel, I believed the food provided was not fresh enough. Last but not least, it took me about three hours to take a bus from the hotel to the nearest place of interest, which wasted me too much time.
I suggest that you look into this matter immediately, deal with it properly and make up for my losses.
Your early reply would be appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Li Ming
投诉信
敬启者：
我写信的目的是告诉你们一场不愉快的经历。那就是，贵公司在上周为我提供的服务让 我失望透顶。
首先，出发前，你承诺指定的酒店是七星级。然而，到了目的地我才发现这只不过是一 所三星级酒店。其次，在贵公司指定酒店居住期间，我认为提供的食物不够新鲜。最后，从 酒店乘坐巴士到最近的旅游景点居然花了我大约 3 小时，这实在浪费了我过多的时间。
我建议贵公司立刻调查并正确地处理此问题，同时，弥补此事对我造成的不必要损失。 我将无限感激你的早日回复。
