2、Theauthorjoinedhisfriendandrushedtothehospitalatonce.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：B

知識點解析：根據原文中，“ForamomentIjuststoodthere,paralyzed."，“Sol

decidedtoheadbacktomyfolk'shouseandcheckinwithmyfriendlater.“可知，作

者并沒有和他的朋友一起趕往醫院，而是決定事后再到他朋友家探望，符合原文。

3、Theauthorwastalkingtohisfriendwhenacarcamescreaminguptheroadtowards

thecourts.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：B

知識點解析：從原文中可知"Whilewewereplaying,acar…”，本題不符合原文，

不正確。

4、Atlast,Idecidedtodrivetothehospitalandgivetrimthekeys.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：A

知識點解析：從文中判斷，作者先開始是打算事后再與朋友聯系，但朋友的鑰匙丟

在車上了，所以最后勉強決定把鑰匙送到醫院。可依據"Reluctantly【decidedtc

swingbythehospitalandgivehimthekeys.”可知，此句話正確。

5、Theauthorthoughtthatthemostimportantthingisthetimewhenyouarejust

someone'sfriendinlife.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：A

知識點解析：作者由于律師職業的原因缺乏感性的一面，對待身邊發生的事情缺乏

感情，在文章最后一段祚者認識到“…Themostimportantthinginlifeisthekid's

teamyoucoachorthepoemyouwriteorthetimewhenyou'rejustsomebody's

friend.”以此可判斷此句符合文章意思。

6、Theauthorhadlearnedfromhisownexperiencethatalawyercannotlearnmuchin

classrooms.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：B

知識點解析：文中并不是想說明作者在法律課堂上學不到有用知識，只是說明在某

些情況下律師的人性感情和邏輯思維同等重要。都可以給予處在困難的人幫助。從

文中“AndyetitwascriticalthatIdojustthatjustbetherewhensomeoneneeded

me.”可判斷此句話與原文不符，帶有一定的片面性。

7、Itwashisfriend^wifewhocameandbrokethebadnewsthathisfriend^baby;vas

senttothehospital.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：A

知識點解析：此句可根據原文"ItwasmyfriencTsfather,…”，很容易判斷不止確。

8、Thefriendoftheauthorwasalawyertoo.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：C

知識點解析：文中并沒有提到他的朋友是從事什么職業的，無從依據。

9、ThethingsIhadlearnedinthelawschoolistotakeasetoffacts,them

andorganizethem.

標準答案：break...down

知識點解析：此句是問在法律學校，學校都教我們了些什么，文中"Lawschool

taughtmehowtotakeasetoffacts,breakthemdown…”可以找出此空，在此表達通

過分析列出類別。

10、Theauthorthoughthewouldnotbeofmuchhelp,sohedecidedtohisfriend

later.

標準答案:checkinwith

知識點解析：此題表達了作者想到幫不上朋友很大的忙，所以決定和朋友晚些再聯

系。checkinwith表達與...聯系,符合題意。在文中"SoIdecidedtoheadbackto

myfolk'shouseandcheckinwithmyfriendletter.”也可找至U答案。

11、Hisfriendhadjusthadababyboy,whowasthematnight.

標準答案：keepingup

知識點解析:從文中第三段“Heandhiswifbhadjuslhadababyboy,whowas

keepingthemupatnight."可得到答案。

三、聽力短對話（本題共5題，每題1.0分，共5分。）

12、

A、Shethinksthemanshouldtakeaseconddegree.

B、Shethinksadoublemajorwouldbemorevalued.

C、Shethinksthemanshouldtakeamajorandaminorinstead.

D、Shethinksthemanshouldconsiderthematterseriously.

標準答案：C

知識點露析?：這是個非典型形式的建議題，建議是一句看似很平常的陳述句。男士

設想自己如果選兩個專業，就不用再多學一個學位了。女士則輕描淡寫地指出人們

沒有意識到主修一個專業輔修一個專業和修兩個一樣有價值。其實是建議男士選一

個主修一個輔修。本題要求學生熟悉學位、主修和輔修的英語表達。

13、

A、Thestationerystorehascloseddown.

Thestationerystoreisclosed.

C、Theshopassistantshaveallleftatthatmoment.

D、Theshopassistantsofthestorehavegoneforalongtime.

標準答案：A--

知識點解析：begone“消失了”，在這個對話里應該理解為“關門倒閉了另外第一

人問是不是應該給文具店打電話時，第二人說的“saveyourbreath”（別白費力了、省

口氣吧）也從側面說明callthem已經沒有必要了。begone的最相近釋義應是close

down,此題選A。Bclose只表示“不營業”，沒有關門倒閉的意思，C、D意思相

近，都是對原對話的誤解。

14、

A、Sheisfull.

B、Thecupisalreadyfull.

C>Shewouldbeimpolitetoacceptanother.

D^Shethinksshewouldbefoolishtorefusesinceit'sdelicious.

標準答案:A

知識點解析：本題重點在女士的答話上，"I'dbeoverdoingitifIhadonemore.”用了

虛擬語氣，意思是我要是再來一杯就喝得過多了。overdo是“過度、過火”的意思，

在這里指喝得過多。女士這樣說喑示自己已經喝得很多（sheisfull）,不能再喝了。

15、

A、Hehasotherplansfortheevening.

B、Heislookingforwardtoattendingtheparty.

C、HeoftenmissesLinda'sparties.

D^HewantstoknowifheshouldbringanythingtoLinda'sParty.

標準答案：B:-」

知識點解析：“Iwouldn'tmissitforanything”表明說話人一定要參加的堅決態度,

只有選項B能反映男士的態度。

16、

A、Itisverypopular.

Theyaresellingitsecond-hand.

C、Itisaboutfood-making.

D、They,IItrytoimproveitsoon.

標準答案：A

知識點解析：selllikehotcakes是個習語，意指非常受歡迎。女士的話thcyllbe

runningasecondprint意思是這本書會再次印刷，從側面證明此書的暢銷。

標準答案：C

知識點解析:Whatarethespeakersgoingtodoatthetimeoftheconversation?細節

road.Il'sasmallplace,butatleastitwouldbeourown."（一個農場，就在這條路的

盡頭。雖然比較小，但是至少它將屬于我們）。所以［0是正確答案。

21、

B、Itisasmallonewithatwo-bedroomhouse.

C、Ilwasbuuglilalapricelowerthanexpected.

D、Ithasalargegardenwithfreshvegetables.

標準答案：B

知識點解析:Whatdoesthemansayaboutthefarm?細節題。考查but。針對女士的

提問，男士回答“Asmallone,twobedrooms,butitneedstobefixedupalittle."（有

一個兩居室的小房子，但是還需要維修一下才能使用）。所以［B］是正確答案。

22、

Itssoilmaynotbeverysuitableforcom.

C、Itmaynotbebigenoughforraisingcom.

D、Raisingpotatoeswillbemoreprofitable.

標準答案：C

細節題。男士說“Well,itreallyisn'tbigenoughfbrcom.Ithoughtwemighttryto

raiseacropofpotatoes.（這個農場的面積確實不夠種植玉米，我想我們只能種土

豆了）。所以［0是正確答案。

23、

started?Itseemslikeadream."（是啊,我們可以辛勤工作，但是問題在于錢。我們

有足夠的錢開始運作嗎。這聽上去就像是一場夢）。所以［A］是正確答案。

分,共6分。）

24、

A、Hewasveryrich.

B、Hewasanxioustogetit.

C、Hisbusinesswasverysuccessful.

D、Hewantedtomakethejewelerbelievehim.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：推理題。瀏覽選項可知，選項與男士的行為有關，需對文章進行通篇

理解。一位“富商”先是花5000美元在珠寶店買了顆黑珍珠，乂出了5倍的價格想

買一顆同樣的珍珠。最后一位老婦人拿著珍珠上了門，珠寶商便以25,000美元的

價格買下了這顆珍珠，但是當他通知那個“富商”時，"富商''卻銷聲匿跡了。在整個

故事結束時我們不難推斷，這是“富商”設的一個騙局，他和老婦人是同伙，當初買

珍珠沒有討價還價是為了獲取珠寶商的信任，為之后的行騙打下基礎。

25、

A^Itmustbealittlebiggerthantheblackone.

B、Itmustbeexactlyasbigandgoodastheblackone.

C、Ilmusthaveexactly（hesamequalityastheblackone.

D、Itmustbeworthnomorethan$25,000.

標準答案：B

中提到，這個“富商”要求第二顆珍珠跟第一顆珍珠exactlythesamesizeand

quality（大小和質地相同），因為他的妻子想做一對耳墜。選項B的意思與原文相

同，故選之。

26、

A、5000

B、20000

C、25000

D、30000

標準答案：B

知識點解析：推理題。瀏覽選項可知，該題與金錢的數目有關。由33題的分析可

知，“富商”在珠寶商那里買黑珍珠時花了5000美元，而他的同伙以25,000美元

的價格將同一顆珍珠賣給了珠寶商，一共騙得了20,000美元。

27、

A^Abest-sellingcoffee.

B、Aspecialeducationalprogram.

C、Governmentsupportforschools.

D、Anewtypeofteacher-studentrelationship.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：選項均為名詞短語表明，本題可能考查短文的話題。短文開頭即提

至lj,...atDixieHeightsHighSchool...aspecialexperiment（在Dixieheights中學...

一個特殊的實驗項目），故答案為［B］。

28、

A^Tosupplyteacherswithdrinks.

B、Todosomeresearchonnutrition.

C、Toraisemoneyforschoolaffairs.

D、Todevelopstudents'practicalskills.

標準答案：D

知識點解析：選項均以“To+原形動詞”開頭，表明本題可能考查目的。由短文中提

到的thePIThelpsthemprepareforlifeafterhighschool（PIT幫助他們為畢業后的生

活做準備）及Theylearnnotonlyhowtorunacoffeeshopbu（alsohowtodealwith

iheiraffairs（他們不僅學到如何經營咖啡店而且學到怎樣處理自己的事情）可知，PIT

majorJ)receivedC)impossibleK)difficultiesD)testedL)knowledgeE)finallyM)

availableF)responseN)basicallyG)ownO)overcomeH)happiness

45、[SI]

標準答案：O

知識點解析；分析句子結構可知，本空應填一原形動詞，形成helpsb.dosth.的

結構。trial在這里意為“困難”,指notbeingabletospeakEnglish所帶來的麻煩,因

此grade-schoolstudents應是“克服，戰勝”困難(ihetrials),故選O)overcomeo

46、[S2]

標準答案：M

知識點解析：本空所填詞應能被readily修飾且能與空后的for連用。該句概括出過

去的情況，該段第二句舉出YolandaPadr6n的例子，其中的withoutabilingual

program應和空格所在句意思一致，故選M)available<>其中suchvitalcurriculum指

的就是abilingualprogram,notalwaysreadilyavailable和without對應。

47、[S3]

標準答案：K

知識點解析：空前的〔he表明，本空應填一名詞，且該名詞應能和experienced構成

動賓搭配。上段第二句提到雙語教育幫助學生克服不能講英語這個麻煩，而本句從

反面說明：沒有雙語教育，學生會在學習生活中遇到麻煩，而接下來的幾段都在說

明這一點。選項中與此語境相符合的應為K)difficulties,同時它也能和experienced

搭配使用，表示“經歷困難

48、[S4]

標準答案：L

知識點解析：空格前的working是形容詞，決定此空所填詞應為名詞。根據上文提

出她movedfromCubatotheUnitedStates和下段提到的Ididn'tspeakEnglish可以看

出那時她不懂英語,故選L)knowledge?workingknowledgeofEnglish意為“足夠運

用的英語知識”。

49、[S5]

標準答案：B

知識點解析：空所在位置決定此處應填能修飾disadvantage的形容詞。下段是對本

空所在句的具體說明，Padr6n和其他講英語的學生比起來的劣勢以及這一不利因

素所帶來的影響(留級兩次)說明了這個劣勢的嚴重性，故選B)major。空前的a提

示所填詞不能是impossible.

50、[S6]

標準答案：F

知識點解析：空前的the表明，本空應填一名詞。從該段的層次可以看出本空所在

句是對前面的總結，而ihal指的就是前面幾句話表達的意思：當她搬到Landover

時，由于不懂英語，學校讓她留級一年：而搬到休斯頓后，還是不懂英語，于是又

留級一年。因此可知對于不懂英語的學生，學校的反應就是讓其留級。選項中能準

確總結上文的詞應為F)response0

51、[S7]

標準答案：J

知識點解析：分析本句結構可知，空所在句缺少謂語，再根據本段講的是Padr6n

過去的經歷可知，本空應填一過去式形式的動詞。下文中的attentionfrom

concernedteachers表明，一些老師開始關注Padr6n,因此應該是接受這種關注，故

選J)received.

52、[S8]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：后文指出學校得出結論：盡管Padr6n不懂英語，但她和其他學生處

于同一水平。這個結論是如何得出的呢?選項中能連接上下文意思的詞只有

D)tested,因為只有經過測試或調查才可能得出結論。

53、[S9]

標準答案：G

知識點解多空格所在位置決定所填詞應為能修飾age的詞。同時，Bytheeighth

grade提示后一句是前一句的遞進，因此herpeergroup指的應該是otherstudentsof

her...age,故選G）own。

54、[S10]

標準答案：N

知識點解析：經分析可知，空所在句不缺主體成份，故木空應填副詞，E）和N）入

選。上文一直在說她不懂英語，而到了八年級，她能加入同伴們的談話了，這里強

調的是一個漸進的過程，結合Padr6n并無語言基礎的事實可知應選N）basicallyo

匕）finally表達的是一種最終結果，和文意不相符，因為她以后肯定能更精通英語，

八年級時達到的水平并不是一個終點，故排除。

十、閱讀（常規閱讀理解）（本題共70題，每題7.0
