Part II Structure (10 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your ability to use words and phrases correctly to construct meaningful and grammatically correct sentences．It consists of 2 sections．

23． —I cannot find Tom anywhere.—He______have been off long. I heard him make a call just now.
A．shouldn’t B．can’t C．mustn’t D．needn’t
正确答案：B
解析：语境表示语气很肯定的否定判断推测：我刚才还听见他打电话了，因此他一定没走多远。用can’t have done。shouldn’t have done表示本不应该做某事；mustn’t have done表示禁止做某事；而needn’t have done指的是本来没必要做某事。
24． No matter who he is, young or old, people’s state of mind tends to keep______with the rapid change of society.

正确答案：D
解析：选项A与keep…with搭配时应为keep in contact with。选项B无法与keep…with搭配。选项C，keep touch with意为与…保持联系。只有keep pace with符合题意，意为与…并驾齐驱。

27． 50 miles southwest of the country______the famous beautiful mountain. A．laying B．lie C．lies D．lays
正确答案：C 解析：首先要知道此句为倒装结构，另外根据句意可知，主语为“the famous beautiful mountain”，指的是一座漂亮的山，所以谓语也应该用单数。
28． Everyone has periods in their lives______everything seems so hard. A．when B．where C．which D．that
正确答案：A
解析：本题的关系词引导定语从句修饰periods，指的是一段时期，并在从句中作时间状语，因此选A。

30． By no means______ready to quit her study. A．will she B．she will C．she is D．is she
正确答案：D
解析：当否定词或含有否定意义的词、短语放在句首时，句子一般要部分倒装，因此只能选择B或D。但因为be ready to do为固定搭配，意为“准备做某事”，故选D；B项缺少谓语。
Section BDirections: There are also 5 incomplete statements here．You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets．

33． The teacher (able)______his students to master the new words by making up sentences.
正确答案：enables
解析：根据句子结构，句中需填入一个动词作谓语，enable意为“使能够”。属于此类变化的词有：large (adj．)一enlarge(v．)，rich(adj．)一enrich(v．)，danger(n．)一endanger(v．)等。另外由于主语是第三人称单数，所以用enables。
34． Scientists have done a lot of study to show that praise is far (effective)______than criticism in improving students’ behavior.
正确答案：more effective
解析：从结构上看，than暗示题中要用比较级，effective为多音节词，故其比较级形式为more+多音节词。

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice．
“I would tell anyone who’s thinking about going back to school that it’ s not as difficult as you think,” says Karen Jonaitis, a woman, last year, at 47, earned a bachelor’ s degree in business administration at a college. “I realized that I would not move up in my career without a degree. “ A generation ago, Jonaitis would have been a rarity(稀罕) in college. Today about 6 million people aged 25 or older are studying in American institutions of higher learning. Whether they are returning to improve job skills or for the love of learning, adults no longer see age as a deterrent(障碍) . Most people jump at the opportunity to do something new. Some of them make changes they’d been thinking about all their lives. Others return to school out of economic necessity. New developments in neuroscience(神经科学) and psychology are confirming that there are few age limits on how much the brain can absorb and for how long—if you stay active. Continuing to learn keeps us mentally in shape and able to learn more. On mental tests, experts discovered, half to two-thirds of the people in their 70s were as intellectually quick as people in their 30s. Those who fell below average tended to be people who had not made a lifelong habit of reading. They also were less physically active. Many adult students say learning is easier for them today. They bring different skills to the classroom, and they’re less upset if something goes wrong. They have a real thirst, a real desire to learn.
36． A life-long habit of reading and physical activities can keep______in good condition.
A．our mind B．our body C．our age D．our nerves
正确答案：A
解析：题干意为“终生的阅读习惯和体育活动可以使…保持良好状态”。由第三段可知，大脑可以吸收多少东西、能吸收多长时间几乎不受年龄的限制；从文章第三段倒数一、二句可知：那些低于正常水平的人往往是那种没有终生阅读习惯的人。而且他们也不经常做体育运动。反过来就是说，终生的阅读习惯和体育活动可以使大脑保持良好状态，故选A。
37． Learning is easier for adult students because______. A．they do not learn in classrooms B．they have a real desire to learn
C．they learn a lot from their own mistakes
D．they are more worried about their learning than the younger students
正确答案：B
解析：题干意为“学习对成年学生来说更容易是因为…”。由最后一段可知，对许多成年人来说现在的学习更容易。他们把不同的技能带到教室，而且在出现问题的时候，他们也不太沮丧。他们有真正的学习欲望。所以原因是他们有真正的学习欲望，故选B。
38． The best title for the passage is______. A．Aged People Learn Better than Young People B．Young People Learn Better than Aged People C．It Is Never Too Late to Learn
D．The Brain Shows Adult People’ s Desire to Learn
正确答案：C
解析：题干意为“最适合做本文标题的是…”。通读全文可知，本文一直在说明成年人学习并不难。“什么时候学习都不晚”(It Is Never Too Late to Learn．)正好符合这个意思，故选C。
39． The phrase “move up” in the first paragraph means “______”. A．move to another place B．be happy
C．change one’ s job D．be promoted
正确答案：D
解析：题干意为“第一段中‘move up’的意思是…”。根据move up所在的句子可以猜出，它应是“提升、升迁”的意思，故选D。
40． Older people return to colleges for the following reasons EXCEPT that of______.
A．improving their job skills B．economic necessity C．improving their health D．their love of learning
正确答案：C
解析：题干意为“年龄大的人返回学校不是出于下面哪个原因”。由第二段中的“Whether they are returning to improve job skills or for the love of learning，adults no longer see age as a deterrent．”可知，有些人是为了提高工作技能，有些人是出于热爱学习而返回学校。由第二段中的“Others return to school out of economic necessity”可知，有些人是出于经济需要而返回学校。文中并没说返回学校是为了改善健康状况。所以为了改善健康状况并不是年龄大的人返回学校的原因，故选C。
Task 2Directions：This task is the same as Task 1．The 5 questions or unfinished
statements are numbered 41 through 45．
Man finds living together with his own species (物种) difficult enough and living together with other species almost impossible. Our usual solution is to kill off anything that get in our way. Even on those rare occasions when we do enter into a relationship with another species, it is heavily biased(带有倾向)in our favor. The other species benefits only when it suits our own interests. Our attempts to communicate with another species are concerned mainly with giving orders in our own language and having them obeyed. Probably our best attempt has been the whistle language that is used in the shepherd-sheepdog relationship. This is a system that is natural to neither species, but one that both can understand. Its only fault lies in fact that the bias is still there—the dog cannot whistle for the man. But now comes news of a piece of research that promises, for the first time, to open up two-way communication between man and another species. At the University of Nevada in the western United States, animated(活跃的)conversations are being held with a young female chimpanzee (黑猩猩) called Washoe. Allen and Beatrice Gardener have succeeded in doing this because they have used an entirely new approach, an approach based on the natural abilities of the chimpanzee. Past attempts to communicate with chimpanzees have failed because the researchers tried to make their animals use a vocal language.
41． According to the writer, when man finds it impossible to live together with other species, he usually______.
A．tries to communicate with them B．tries to teach them a language C．sets up a relationship with them D．wipes them out
正确答案：D 解析：题干意为“根据文章，人类在发现和其他物种难以相处时，人类会…”。由第一段第二句“Our usual solution is to kill off anything that get in our way．”可以看出，人类通常的解决方法是消灭那些阻碍我们的东西。“wipe out”与“kill off”同义，意为“消灭”，故选D。
42． According to the writer, we communicate with animals in an attempt to______.
A．set up a relationship with them B．make them do what we want C．get along well with them D．teach them a language
正确答案：B
解析：题干意为“根据文章，我们和动物交流是为了…”。由第一段中“Our
attempts to communicate with another species are concerned mainly with giving orders in our own language and having them obeyed．”可以看出，我们和其他物种交流主要是用我们的语言给它们命令，让它们遵守，故选B。
43． The writer implies that the shepherd-sheepdog whistle language is still biased because______.
A．it can only be used to give orders
B．it is not natural for both shepherd and sheepdog C．it is a one-way communication approach D．it can only be used between man and dog
正确答案：C
解析：题干意为“作者暗示牧羊人和牧羊犬之间的口哨始终是带有倾向的，原因是…”。由第一段最后一句“Its only fault lies in fact that the bias is still there—the dog cannot whistle for the man．”可以看出，这种倾向在于狗不能对人使用口哨，这只是一个单方向的交流方法，故选C。
44． Allen and Beatrice Gardener managed to communicate with the chimpanzee by______.
A．training the chimpanzee to learn human language in an entirely new method B．creating a language both man and the chimpanzee were able to use
C．using animal’ s vocal language which the chimpanzee was able to understand D．learning the chimpanzee’s language with an entirely new approach
正确答案：B
解析：题干意为“Allen和Beatrice Gardener试图通过…和黑猩猩交流”。由第三段中“Allen and Beatrice Gardener have succeeded in doing this because…Past attempts to communicate with…use a vocal language．”可以看出，他们使用的全新方法是以黑猩猩的天生能力为基础，过去交流失败的原因就是因为研究人员试图通过有声语言和动物交流。由此可以推断他们创造了一种人和黑猩猩都能使用的语言，故选B。
45． It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A．in the future the chimpanzee can learn language like human beings
B．in the past researchers taught a chimpanzee words of our natural language C．man and animals can get along well if they can communicate with each other D．the chimpanzee can communicate well with our human beings
正确答案：C
解析：题干意为“根据文章可以推断出…”。文章第一段说明有史以来人类都不能与其他物种共同生活在一起。第二段“But now…”引出现在新的研究成果。第三段说明两个研究员用一种新的语言可以和一个黑猩猩很好地交流，由此可以推断出作者认为：如果可以交流，人类就能和其他动物融洽相处。故选C。
