May—except for one strange statistic.More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.

Give it a try and see what happens.16.What is the main idea of the article? A.You can improve your speaking ability.B.A poor speaker can never change.

First and most important is extraordinary receptive and adaptable — it has taken to itself material from almost everywhere in the world and has made the new elements of language its own.English, which when the Anglo-Saxons first conquered England in the fifth and sixth centuries was almost a “pure” or unmixed language—which could make new words for new ideas from its own compounded elements.A second outstanding characteristic of English is its simplicity and the relationship of words in a sentence with only the minimum of change in their shapes or variation of endings.A third quality of English is its relatively fixed word order.21.This passage is primarily concerned with ________.A.reasons for the popularity of English B.English language has largest number of people in the world C.extraordinary receptive and adaptable of English language D.characteristic of English 22.What are the most important characteristic features of English?

26.The passage mainly discusses ____.A.certain evolutionary advantage of New World monkeys

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage: “Fingers were made before forks”.When a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it.Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy.The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, “Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.” English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years.Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice.Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.16.The custom of eating with a fork was _____.A.brought to Europe from AmericaB.begun when forks were invented C.brought to Europe from AsiaD.invented by Italians 17.By the fifteenth century forks were used _____.A.all over ItalyB.only in Constantinople C.widely in EuropeD.In England 18.To English travellers in Italy, the use of forks seemed _____.A.cleverB.necessaryC.good mannerD.ridiculous 19.The English thought that Italians used forks in order to ______.A.imitate the people of the EastB.keep their food clean C.impress visitors with their good mannersD.amuse the English 20.In England, people who used forks at that time were considered _____.A.well manneredB.sissiesC.show-offs and overniceD.both B and C Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage Holidays in the United States usually occur at least once a month.Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday.The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends, that is, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families.Major holidays in the United States include New Year’s Day, Christmas Day and the day, when we remember the first settlers of the United Sates, called Thanksgiving Day.In these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay at home and celebrate with their families.Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year.This usually depends on how long you have been working for a company, what type of position you have, whether you have a very high and important position and whether you can find someone to replace you.In this case, you might take a few days at a time rather than take one month all at once.Usually the more time you spend working for a company, the more time you may get for a vacation.21.The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have __________ weekends.A.5-dayB.2-dayC.3-dayD.4-day 22.Workers in the United States sometimes work from __________.A.MondayB.Saturday to Monday C.Thursday to FridayD.Tuesday to Friday 23.Which statement is wrong according to this passage?

25.Which is the best title for this passage? A.Holidays in the United States B.Vacation in the United Staes C.How the Workers Spend Their Holidays D.Something about the Holidays and Vacation in the U.S.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage The Industrial Revolution in Britain first began in the textile industry.England had been a major producer of wool for centuries.Ever since the enclosures, wool and then woolen cloth had been the principal exports of England.And cloth-making, though a domestic industry in the early years, had the characteristic of captalist production which separated the employer from the employee and introduced the division of labour, such as carding, spinning, weaving, fulling and dyeing.With the expansion of market, the demand for cloth also increased.But a spinner with a distaff could only make one thread at a time.The short supply of yarn became the main obstacle to mass production of cloth.The general effort to improve thread-making techniques led to the invention of spinning Jenny in 1764, by the English spinner Hargreaves.The new instrument enabled a singly workman to spin eight or ten threads at once.A year later, Richard Arkwright, a barber, patented a device for drawing out thread by means of rollers.Then in 1779, Samual Crompton drew on these two new devices and invented a new kind of spinning machine known as the mule.It greatly accelerated the speed of production and improved the quality of thread.Then Arkwright established a great factory by applying power-driven mules and became known as Father of Factory System in England.By the end of the 18th Century, power-driven machines spinning two hundred threads simultaneously had been introduced in production.

1.[答案] D
[翻譯] 由于工作過度，他病了。
[分析] as a/the result of 是一個固定短語，意思是“由于，因為”。例如：He was late s the result of the snow.他因下雪遲到了。
2.[答案] B
[翻譯] 當云朵消散以后，爬山者可以看到更加高的山峰。
[分析] visible的意思是“看得見，可見的”;obvious的意思是“顯然的，明顯的”;present的意思是“現在的，出席的”;apparent的意思是“明顯的，顯而易見的”。
3.[答案] C
[翻譯] 飛機準備起飛時候，我們都把安全帶系好了。
[分析] fasten的意思是“系住，扎牢，使某物結合在一起”;tie指用繩子打扣“系”起來，沒有“使牢固”的含義;lock的意思是“上鎖”，在這里不符合題意。Close的意思是“關閉，合上”。
4.[答案] C
[翻譯] 因我方正與該公司磋商一些重要的交易，所以想確切了解它的資信情況。
[分析] transacting的意思是“交易”;transmit的意思是“傳播，傳送”;transfer的意思是“轉讓”;transport的意思是“運輸”。
5.[答案] B
[翻譯] 正如你的老師那樣，你應該把時間花在鉆研一些值得研究的事情上。
[分析] worth和 worthy 都可能當“值得的”講，worth的后面接名詞或動名詞，worthy的后面接動詞不定式或者與of 搭配使用，空白處后面的researching是一個動名詞，根據這一點我們可以看出B應該是正確的答案。Worth一般作表語，在本句中作不定代詞的后置定語。Precious的意思是“珍貴的”;valuable的意思是“有價值的”，這兩項都與題意不符。

6-8基于以下題干：
賈女士：一項權威性的調查數據顯示，在醫療技術和設施最先進的美國，嬰兒最低死亡率在世界上只占第17位。這使我得出結論，先進的醫療技術和設施，對于人類生命和健康所起的保護作用，對成人要比對嬰兒顯著得多。
陳先生：我不能同意您的論證。事實上，一個國家所具有的先進的醫療技術和設施，并不是每個人都能均等地享受的。較之醫療技術和設施而言，較高的嬰兒死亡率更可能是低收入的結果。

8.以下哪項如果為真，能最有力地削弱陳先生的反駁？
A.美國的人均壽命占世界第二。
B.全世界的百歲老人中，美國人占了30%。
C.美國的嬰兒死亡率呈逐年下降趨勢。
D.一般地說，拯救嬰兒免于死亡的醫療要求，要高于成人。
9.用蒸餾麥芽渣提取的酒精作為汽油的替代品進入市場，使得糧食市場和能源市場發生了前所未有的直接聯系。到1995年，谷物作為酒精的價值已經超過了作為糧食的價值。西方國家已經或正在考慮用從谷物提取的酒精來替代一部分進口石油。
如果上述斷定為真，則對于那些已經用從谷物提取的酒精來替代一部分進口石油的西方國家，以下哪項，最可能是1995年后進口石油價格下跌的后果？
A.一些谷物從能源市場轉入糧食市場。
B.一些谷物從糧食市場轉入能源市場。
C.谷物的價格面臨下跌的壓力。
D.谷物的價格出現上浮。
10.清朝雍正年間，市面流通的鑄幣，其金屬構成是銅六鉛四，即六成為銅，四成為鉛。不少商人出以利計，紛紛融幣取銅，使得市面的鑄幣嚴重匱乏，不少地方出現以物易物。但朝廷征于市民的賦稅，須以鑄幣繳納，不得代以實物或銀子。市民只得以銀子向官吏購兌鑄幣用以納稅，不少官吏因此大發了一筆。這種情況，明清兩朝以來從未出現過。
從以上陳述，可推出以下哪項結論？
Ⅰ上述鑄幣中所含銅的價值要高于該鑄幣的面值。
Ⅱ上述用銀子購兌鑄幣的交易中，不少并不按朝廷規定的比價成交。
Ⅲ雍正以前明清諸朝，鑄幣的銅含量，均在六成以下。
A.只有Ⅰ和Ⅱ。
B.只有Ⅱ和Ⅲ。
C.只有Ⅰ和Ⅱ。
D.Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ。

Electronic books could change the way of reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well．“The e-book promises to cause a slow tragedy on life as we know it,” Jason Ohler, professor of technology, warned the world．He weighed the advantages and disadvantages of e-book technology's impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc．Before you read an e-book, consider the disadvantages．

On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online．They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self publishing．
