10、ions linger even in todays modern world. One person in four in Britain is, apparently, superstitious. /Theyre careful about cats. /Black cats are supposed to be the familiars of witches, /so if one is following you, /its definitely bad luck一a witch is after you! /On the other hand, if one crosses yo
11、ur path and continues, /then its good luck/because it hasnt noticed you. /However, in some places the beliefs are different/ so it pays to know where your black cat comes from! /参考译文迷信即便是现代社会也存在着古老的迷信。在英国，有四分之一的人十分迷信。 他们对猫很有讲究。黑猫被认为是巫婆的密友，所以如果一只黑猫尾随着你，那 肯定是霉运一一一个巫婆跟着你!另一方面，如果一只黑猫越过你走的路径继续 往前，那么这就是好运
12、，因为它没有留意到你。但是，不同地方有不同的迷信一 一所以弄清你的这只黑猫来自哪里还是有价值的。PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A TALK2、 insightful听力原文What Is Good Writing?Different cultures using different languages may come up with very different answers to the question. Indeed, even different individuals may have different standards, ta
13、stes and expectations. However, as far as English is concerned, a set of basic characteristics, which is believed to be present in all good writing, has been promoted by educators in English-speaking countries. They are: unity, coherence, emphasis, development and clarity. While these good old value
14、s are still relevant, todays discussion of good writing focuses on a different set of concepts.Firstly, good writing is good thinking. Good thinking leads to good writing, and muddy thinking can only result in muddy writing. As simple as that. Writing is a thinking process; it is not to make a big d
15、eal out of nothing. Good writing should be substantive, really having things to say. Not only having things to say, but also having insightful things to say about the topic. This concept is particularly important for you non-native speakers of English. You may tend to be overly concerned with being
16、correct in grammar, spelling and mechanics. While good writing is expected to be free from grammatical and other errors, it is worth repeating here that good writing is not good grammar or vice versa. At the advanced level, you should be much more concerned with higher and more important issues of w
17、riting in English. If you were excited at all by a piece of writing, most likely, it was for one or a combination of the following reasons:1) because it enlightens you or sheds light on the subject;2) because you have felt something similar but in a rather vague and superficial way;3) because you ha
18、ve felt exactly the same, but have never been able to express yourself in such an effective and elegant manner.Secondly, good writing involves thoughtful revision. Although there are geniuses who are such inspired writers that they can produce great writings at the spur of the moment without having
19、to revise as much as one word, such geniuses are few and far between. For the overwhelming majority of writers, good writing is ninety-nine percent hard work and one percent inspiration. Experienced writers subject their writings to numerous revisions before feeling satisfied. Lu Xun, the greatest m
20、odern Chinese writer, for example, talks about pacing pensively in the study for days searching for the right word.Thirdly, good writing is directed toward an audience. Notice the use of the word audience here: it usually refers to viewers and listeners, but now its reference has expanded to include
21、 readers, too, particularly in discussions of writing. You should remember that what is appropriate for one kind of audience may not be appropriate for another. The intended audience determines your choice of words, your sentence length and patterns, the overall tone, the details that would be inclu
22、ded in your writing, etc.解析根据黑体局部可知，讲话人对于好的写作的期许是，不仅要言之有 物(substantive),更要有写作者自己的见地(insightful)。3、non-native English speakers解析写作应表达个人思想，这一点对于非母语国家的英语学习者来说更 为重要，因此各位考生也要引以为鉴，不要仅仅追求语法和拼写的正确而已。4、good grammar解析黑体处讲话人重申，好的写作并不仅仅意味着语法正确，反过来说， 语法正确也不代表就是好的作品。5、sheds fight on解析此处考查考生对于固定搭配的掌握，shed light on
23、/upon意为“说明, 解释”，近义词有clarify/川ustrate等，因此好的作品激励人心的第一大原因为能 够给读者启示，并清晰地阐释主题。6、vague/superficial解析作品激励人心的第二大原因：读者也曾有过类似的感受，但这种感 受是模糊的(vague)或流于外表(superficial)。7、effectively/elegantly解析第三大原因：读者曾有过完全相同的感受，但无法以高效优美的文 字表达出来。此处提醒考生注意词性的转换，即空格前后对于空格处的形式要求。8、revision解析好的作品应该需要几易其稿(revision),这是讲话人认为好的作品应具 备的第二个
24、特征。9、inspiration解析对于绝大多数作者来说，好的作品都需要99%的努力(润色修改)以及 1%的灵感(inspiration)。这里讲话人借用了 Edison的名句，考生在平口寸练习中也 可实践，显得旁征博引，不失有趣。下文中的what is appropriate for one kind of audience may not be appropriate for another 也是类似用法，模仿英文谚语 Ones meat is anothers poison(甲之蜜糖，乙之砒霜)。10、audience解析讲话人这里用audience 一词来指代读者，即某一作品的受众，显
25、得 别出心裁，大有暗示读者不仅仅是阅读，还包括全方位的感受之意。11、choice of words/diction/overall tone/details解析此题答案出现在篇章末尾处，意为“目标受众决定了作者的选词、 句子长度与句型、整体的语气，以及文章中囊括的一切细节”。SECTION B CONVERSATIONSCONVERSATION ONE12、B听力原文W: Come in!M: Hi, Professor Jane! Do you have a minute?W: Fredrick! Come in.M: I like your new office!W: Thanks! I
26、ts much nicer than my old one. What can I do for you?M: Well. er. Td like to talk about my English.W: Your English is great! You were my top student last semester. Hows your new speaking class with Professor Simmons?M: Hes a good teacher, alright., but, Im worried about my classmates.W: Your classma
27、tes?M: I mean., my classmates are from all different countries. Im afraid that if I talk with them dining group work, Ill pick up their accents.W: I wouldnt worry, about that if I were you. Theres no way you can pick up a different accent just from being in class a few hours a week.M: Really?W: Real
28、ly! Just think of all the English youre exposed to every day here in the United States. You listen to the radio, you watch TV, you talk with your American friends, you chat with people in stores. Most of the English you hear is American English. Youre only with your classmates a couple of hours a da
29、y. hats not going to affect your accent.M: Are you sure?W: Let me give you an example. Umm. say you have a mother from Germany living in the United States. Lets say she has a child here. Even if the mother speaks English with a German accent, her child will still grow up speaking American English. W
30、hy? Because the childs getting language from lots of other places, not just the mother. Its the same for your situation.M: I understand your example about the child., but I think children learn language differently than adults.W: Actually youre right. It isnt exactly the same because children CAN ac
31、tually learn accents. Their minds and bodies are much more flexible than ours, so its easier for them. For adults who are studying a foreign language, accent is one of the hardest things to improve. In fact, most adults never lose their native accents.M: So does that mean Ill never sound like a nati
32、ve speaker?W: Unfortunately thats probably true.M: Hmmm. that makes me wonder if I should take that pronunciation class that I signed up for next semester.W: I wouldnt look at it that way. In a pronunciation class, there are still important things that you can learn.M: Like what, for example?W: Like

Can I help you?W: Hello, Professor. I was wondering if y
35、ou had a few minutes to, uh, talk to me about my essays.M: Sure. Sit down.W: Thanks. Professor, you, uh, you gave me a C plus on my last essay. Thats the third C youve given me now. I guess I just dont understand what it is youre looking for.M: Well, youre not alone, Michelle. Im afraid most of the
36、class is doing poorly this term. Now, Ive tried to explain what I want you all to do several times now, but nobody seems to get it. I guess Im a failure as a teacher.W: I dont think so. But, Tm sorry, would you mind trying one more time with me? I understand that you want to see a clear, efficient d
37、evelopment of the thesis and all that and I thought Id done that this time, I really did.M: Have you got your paper with you?W: Yes, here it is, right here.M: Let me have a look.W: Sure! Here.M: Mmm.yes.l remember now. Actually, Michelle, you have a very good thesis here. I like it. I just wish you
38、couldve presented it more effectively.W: In what, in what way?M: Well, just look at your opening sentence. This is the first sentence that the reader meets. Most authorities consider the zygote the initiation of a new existence. Now tell me, Michelle, if the average person picked this up and started
39、 reading it, would they understand that?W: Well, um.l hope so. I mean, I presume so. Thats what I presumed when I wrote it, of course.M: Of course. It seems short and direct. But you must remember that when you wrote this, you had been reading and researching your topic beforehand. How many people k
40、now what a zygote is? How self-evident is the meaning of a new existence? Thats a very abstract phrase.W: Yeah, I guess so.M: Michelle, the writers first duty is to his readership and his second duty is to his thesis. Think of all the articles youve read thatve been built on week arguments, misconce
41、ptions or untruths, and yet have become widely popular, have enjoyed wide acceptance because of the writers talent at communicating.W: Yeah, therere a lot of those. You want us to write like that?M: Well, I certainly dont want you to be promulgating untruthsthats what I hope Im helping my students a
42、voidbut it would be worthwhile to notice how some of those writers do it. The key to effective writing is assessing your reader accurately.W: I see, Professor. Thanks a lot!What does Michelle want to talk about with the professor?18、C听力原文What does the professor think of Michelles last essay?19、B听力原文
43、What is the problem of the first sentence in the essay?20、A听力原文According to the professor, why has some bad writing become popular?21、A听力原文According to the professor, what is the key to effective writing?PART III LANGUAGE USAGE22、B解析下文的down和below提示，这里是下坡路，可以判断B正确。23、A解析考查分词的用法。A的分词screaming是对宾语child
44、ren的补充说明， 充当宾语补足语，在句子中不可省略，否那么句意不完整。B、C、D的分词均作定 语，起修饰名词或代词的作用，该局部假设省略不影响句意。因此答案为A。24、C考点考查词组辨析。25、Chave butterflies in ones stomach紧张而焦虑，心里七上八下。26、C解析独立主格题。独立主格结构是由名词或代词作为逻辑主语，加上分 词、形容词、副词、动词不定式或介词短语作为逻辑谓语构成。这种结构在形式 上与主句没有关系，在句中的功能就相当于一个带有自己主语的状语从句，常用 来表示时间、原因、条件、行为方式或伴随情况等。原句中前半句和后半句是以 逗号隔开，没有连词，而后
45、半句又含有逻辑主语three books,所以后半句不可能 是句子，只能是独立主格结构，故排除选项A； books与动词hold之间是被动关 系，因此排除选项D；此处的独立主格结构是用作伴随状语，由前半句的ran可 知hold这个动作已经发生，而选项B表示的是将来的动作，故排除。因此选项C 为答案。27、D解析习语理解题。take the biscuit是英语表达中的一个习语，意为“空前 惊人；极其讨厌。故此处应选D。28、A解析当陈述句局部是 I think/suppose/believe/fancy/imagine/expect+that 从 句时，反意疑问句要与从句对应；但假设陈述局部为
46、非第一人称主语 +think/suppose/believe/fancy/imagine/expect+that 从句，问句局部的动词和主语 与陈述局部的主句动词和主语保持一致，因此答案为A。29、D解析考查代词的用法及主谓一致D选项“队员们正在练习投篮”中的team表示个体的队员，后面的动词 应为复数，后面的代词也应为表示复数的their,正确的表达为：The team are taking their practice shots at the basket.应选 Do30、B解析本句大意为：许多游客都被这座城市里纵横交错的街道弄得晕头转 向。mislead表示“误导，把带错路”,be m
47、isled by表.表示被某人误导”;bewilder表示“使迷惑，使不知所措，使迷失方向；evoke表示“唤起，引起”； divert表示“使转向；使绕道；转移”；这里指像迷宫样的街道使人摸不着方向，因此选Bo31、C考点考查形容词词义辨析。32、B解析not until放在句首要用局部倒装，翻译为直到，所以begin发生在left 之后或同时发生。句意为:直到他离开家，他才开始知道家庭对他来说多么重要。33、A解析根据句意可知，此题考查对过去事实的肯定推测，故答案为A.must have gone0 34 A35、A解析此题考查近义异形词的辨析。川ustrate多指用图或例子“说明，说明”
48、, 和题干中的by relating his own experiences（引用自己的经历）相一致，故答案为A。 B. hinted（暗示）、C. cited（引用）、D. displayed（陈列，显示）均不符合题意。故答 案为A。36、C解析此题考查动词短语辨析。combine with “与结合；compete with“与竞争”；coincide with ”与一致；compromise with 与妥协根据句意可知选Co37、C解析考查反义疑问句。假设陈述局部含有rarely, seldom, hardly, never, few, nothing, nowhere等否认词或半否认词，其反意疑问句局部要用肯定式。同时句 中时态是一般现在时，应选C。38、B39、B解析此题考查情态动词表示肯定推测。B中的shall表示命令和规那么，翻 译
