Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn’t turn off automatically. Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight: 240g. 2）Sony M9 $49.95 Small and very good looking, sony’s latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders. Doesn’t switch off automatically but a red light shows if the machine is still running. Tape length: 60 minutes per side. Weight: 195g. 3）Sony M400 $115 Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use . Recording was good but machine noise lost points. Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful. Tape length: 60 minutes per side. Weight: 230g. 4）Imperial OEM. MC $29.95 Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording was good as long as there was no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette. No light to show it is on; no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise. Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight: 285g. 5）Philips 585 $80 Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation. No recording light. Tape length: 15 minutes per side. Weight: 220g. 21.If you want a machine which turns off automatically and weighs very little you should choose the __________. A. Pearlcorder S702 B. Sony M9 C. Sony M400 D. Philips 585 22.Which machine is unsuitable for general use? A. Pearlcorder S702 B. Imperial OEM MC7 C. Sony M400 D. Philips 585 23.What disadvantage does only the Imperial OEM MC7 have? A. No light shows when it is on. B. It requires a special cassette. C. It picks up background noise. D. The record button makes a noise. B Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always evil and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this. Either man will stop war, or war will stop man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger, but bacteriological( 细菌的 ) or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded in stopping war, there would be no danger for us. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not by contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre (大屠杀 ),but by judging in accordance with agreed rules of law. It is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted. There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology (意识形态)would prevent war. I believe this to be a complete error. All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them. The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course, very difficult problems remain in the international world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West, but between Man and the bomb. 24.From the first paragraph we can know that __ __. A．dangerous weapons are forbidden in modern society B．we may face greater threat from weapons C．man’s idea of victory has changed D．dangerous weapons can stop war 25.From the passage we can know ______. A．it is impossible to live without war B．war will be stopped by modern skill C．war must be stopped if man wants to survive D．the difference between East and West will cause war 26.The author believes that the only way to stop war is to____. A．take possession of stronger weapons B．let the stronger side take over the world C．settle international issues through agreements D．destroy bacteriological and chemical weapons 27.Which of the following words can best describe the author’s feeling in writing this passage? A．Disappointed. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. D．Hopeful. C Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment. My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding ( 衬 垫 ) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all. I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being. 28.Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule? A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated. B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working. C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better. D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone. 29.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______. A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor B. meet her father who was already an old man C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached 30.The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___________. A. abandoned B. lacked C. avoided D. wasted 31.W hat is the best title for the passage? A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words C. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of Mind D People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. Mother’s Day was proclaimed ( 公告) a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation. In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father’s Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Father’s Day as a national commemorative （ 纪念）day, in 1972. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes ( 象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead．Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. 32．According to the passage, which of the following about the second Sunday in May is not true ? A．It is a day to show love to mothers B．It is a day to wear carnations C．It is a day for people to visit the cemetery D．It is a day for many people to attend religious services 33．Who plays the most important role in Father’s Day becoming a national commemorative day? A．Mrs. Dodd B．Margaret Chase Smith C．Ann Jarvis D．Woodrow Wilson 34．From the passage, we know in the U.S ________________. A．one should wear a red carnation if one’s mother pass away B．on Mother’s Day, families often go out to have barbecues C． on Father’s Day, people often stay at home to celebrate the special day. D．The purpose to have these two special days is to show love to parents 35．The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to __________ A．call on people to love and respect their parents. B．introduce Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. C．tell the difference between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day D．show how important fathers and mothers are 第二节：（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。 How to be more friendly and social If you tend to be shy, it can feel uncomfortable to put yourself out there socially. 36 You can make the extra effort to be more friendly and open to others, while still keeping your own personality. 37 The key to connecting to other people is showing interest in them. When you’re truly interested in someone else’s thoughts, feelings, experiences, stories, and opinions, they’ ll like you for it. You’ll make far more friends by showing your interest rather than trying to get people interested in you. Be genuine (真诚的). 38 If you’re just pretending to listen or care, others will pick up on it. Rather than promoting greater connection, your efforts will likely have the opposite effect. No one likes to be manipulated (摆布). If you’re not actually interested in the other person, then stop trying to connect. Pay attention. 39 By paying close attention to what they say and how they interact, you’ll quickly get to know them. 40 Don’t ignore the details, such as remembering someone’s preferences, the stories they’ve told you, and what’s going on in their life. A. Faking (伪装) takes talent. B. Focus on others, not yourself. C. Little things go a long way. D. Getting to know them is the key. E. Make an effort to truly listen to the other person. F. Showing interest in others can’t be faked. G. But you don’t have to be naturally outgoing or the life of the party to make new friends. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出可以填入 空白处的最佳选项。 A couple of weeks ago, I made a trip to Toronto with my granddaughter who just turned three years old. The two of us were on our way to 41 her parents and my wife, her 42 who had been gone for over a week. We were all anxious to 43 again. As I pulled out of Mamere and Papere’s driverway in Chelmsford, Hailee and I were both 44 about the trip and couldn't wait to arrive at our 45 . When we completed the“SEVEN”-hour trip to Toronto later that day, the reunion was absolutely 46 and I can sincerely say I enjoyed every single minute of that 47 journey. Hailee is at that “I want to 48 it myself” stage of her life. And if you can just get over the “hurry-up syndrome (综合征)” we acquire as 49 , it is wonderful to witness that putting a straw into the 50 in a juice box for the very first time could be such an earth-shattering（惊 天动地的）event or being 51 enough to actually open the fridge door for the first time or putting on your own 52 on the right feet — would be so 53 ? I’ll never forget the look on her face the day she was able to 54 into my truck by herself. She finally 55 on my seat, holding onto the steering wheel (方向盘) and declared 56 “I did it!” And when she could actually put her own seat belt on, what a(n) 57 ! Have you ever watched a three-year-old 58 to sip (啜_______饮) a McDonald's milkshake through a straw? It is hard enough for an adult, too. And 59 every time the icy solution (溶液) touched her lips, you could see the 60 in her eyes. I learned that you can't hurry a child through a milkshake. 41. A. visit B. help C. bless D. follow 42. A. mother B. grandma C. father D. aunt 43. A. get together B. turn up C. pay off D. settle down 44. A. concerned B. hopeful C. excited D. anxious 45.

A. doctors B. parents C. friends D. adults 50. A. bottle B. hole C. ring D. corner 51. A. clever B. friendly C. Strong D. early 52. A. trousers B. socks C. Sweater D. shoes 53. A. difficult B. satisfying C. useful D. simple 54. A. climb B. jump C. run D. hide 55. A. sat down B. stood up C. looked for D. set out 56. A. proudly B. bravely C. politely D. carefully 57. A. truck B. example C. moment D. goal 58. A. struggle B. expect C. offer D. hope 59. A. when B. yet C. then D. though 60. A. sadness B. anger C. fear D. delight 第二节（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1 个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 Whether you believe it or not, my school life is almost over. The first thing I’m going to do is to take a long vacation! But I find myself 61 (think) about all the wonderful things 62 have happened during my senior year. I’ve decided to write them down so that one day. Years from now, when I reread them, the 63 (memory) will come back. There’s so much 64 (remember). One of the best things about this year has been working as an arts editor for this newspaper. I love writing, so this has been 65 real success for me. Something else I’ve greatly enjoyed is working as a peer mediator. 66 is clear that this kind of work can really help people. I think I’ll continue to work as a mediator when I go to college. Other things I’m pleased about—getting good grades on my final exams, and receiving the senior prize for English Literature. What’s more, I got a car 67 (give) by my parents so I’ve been able to drive to school. All these things have been wonderful. 68 I have to say, the highlight of the year was the senior prom. I was so pleased that I was invited to attend the prom by Daniel whom I liked to stay 69 . Another big surprise of the evening was when I was elected prom queen, which was so unexpected. It was 70 (forget) and a perfect ending to a perfect school year. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节 短文改错(共 10 小题:每小题 2 分，满分 20 分) 71.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共 有 10 处语言错误，每句中最多有两处.每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(  ) 并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。 修改:在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2.只允许修改 10 处，多者（从第 11 处起）不计分。 Mrs Brown was walking near a playground.

Students who are interested in it should be quick to sign up at the Students Union Office before next Friday. In the drama, a group of students go on a picnic. They are in great trouble because of the heavy rain. However, with their teamwork spirit, they finally overcome all the difficulties. Students are required to speak English in the play, so your oral English should be quite fluent. Besides, you should love and be good at acting. The Students Union 听力录音稿 (Text 1) W: Oh look, aren’t they sweet? Can you see those two playing with a ball? M: I wouldn’t call lions sweet and I’m glad I’m not that ball. Don’t you think they are scary? W: I don’t think so. They are so lovely. (Text 2) M: Hi, Lucy. W: Oh, hi, Mike. Are you going anywhere? M: I thought about going to the park. There is a flower show there. How about you? W: Well, I’m going to church. (Text 3) W: Ask Laura if she wants to go fishing with us. M: She’s busy. She’s gone to the pool to swim. W: Again? It seems like she’s always swimming. M: You know how shy she is. In the water, she doesn’t have to talk to anyone. (Text 4) M: Excuse me. Can you tell me where pizzas are? W: Pizzas. Hmmm, let me think. Oh yeah, they are over there in the bakery section, next to the canned food. M: Oh… OK. I’ve seen them. Thank you very much. W: It’s my pleasure. (Text 5) M: I’m sorry to tell you that you needn’t come next week. You know our sales have been slowing down. Obviously we can’t support so many workers.[] W: I’ve always worked hard. Would you be kind enough to give me some time to find a new job? M: I’m afraid I can’t. I’m really sorry. (Text 6) W: Hello! Would you like to book a table, sir? M: Hello! I want to book a table for a Chinese dinner the day after tomorrow. Could you arrange it for me? W: Certainly. But at what time? M: At five o’clock. I’m afraid we’ll come a little after five. W: For how many guests? M: About ten. I have no idea how much it costs. What’s the price? W: The price of a Chinese table of dishes ranges from $100 to $500, not including drinks. M: I would prefer the highest price. W: OK, Sir. So a table for a Chinese dinner the day after tomorrow for about 10 people, is that right? M: That’s right. (Text 7) M: Hello. This is George. W: George, dear. Where are you? M: We are at the corner of Pine Street and State Street. We are lost. We can’t find your place. W: You’re at the corner of Pine Street and State Street? Haven’t you got a map? Wait there and I’ll have Michael go and get you. M: No, it’s not necessary. We’re driving the car. Just show me the way, and I can manage. W: OK, now listen carefully. Go north on State Street to Main Street. There’s a large square there. Turn left. Continue to King Road. And then turn right to Seventh Street. Turn left again. We are in the middle of the block. Are you clear, George? M: I think so. I’ve kept your words in mind and I’m sure I can find your place. See you soon. W: OK. If you still can’t find my place, just call me at once. M: I’ll do that. (Text 8) M: Angela, may I ask you a few questions? W: Sure, go ahead. M: What made you decide to fly round the world in a helicopter? W: People often asked me this question but I’m surprised they don’t ask “Why did you wait so long?” because I’m 57 now! I’m sorry I didn’t do it years ago, because it was such a wonderful experience. But the main purpose for going was to collect $500,000 for sick children by getting different companies to pay us money for each kilometer that we flew. M: And what about preparing for the trip? Did it take long to prepare for it? W: Well, it took five months to plan. I made the trip with my flying teacher who taught me to fly three years ago. I passed my flying test after two weeks.[] M: And what was the trip like? W: It was really exciting flying over so many different countries. The only thing was that we weren’t able to spend much time sightseeing because we only stopped to get water and to camp. We had to spend two days in Thailand because of an engine problem, but that was the longest we spent anywhere. Fortunately nothing else went wrong, so we just kept on going after that. (Text 9) W: Oh, such a day. I’m tired out. M: Yeah, me too. After rushing to see those three apartments for a whole day, I just want to lie down to have a rest. W: But wait. Of the three apartments, which one do you like best? M: I don’t know. But I don’t like the one on Ablington Road. W: Neither do I. Let’s cross that one off. That leaves the one on Park Avenue and the one on North Parade. M: The one on Park Avenue has a good view, and a very cheerful kitchen. W: Yes. But there is no good place to put a desk. M: That’s true. You could put it in a corner of the living room, but then you wouldn’t have any privacy, and the bedroom is too small. W: Right. And I need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked at by nosy visitors. M: Oh, I do agree that the desk shouldn’t be in the living room. What about the apartment on North Parade? It has a dining area. We could eat in the kitchen, and put the desk in the dining area. It’s more private there. W: Yes, that sounds good. We can choose that apartment. It’s more suitable for us. M: Absolutely true. (Text 10) W: Whoever thought learning new words could feel socially responsible? A website called FreeRice.com is an English vocabulary game. It explains its purpose like this: “ For each word you get right, we donate 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger.” Internet businessman John Breen created FreeRice in October. The United Nations World Food Program does not really get rice. The donations are given in the form of money. Advertisers whose names appear with links at the bottom of the game pay for the rice. Words are presented with four choices of answers. Players click on the one that best defines the word. Currently, the FreeRice game has fifty-five levels of difficulty. Players rarely get past level forty-eight. Jennifer Parmelee is a World Food Program spokeswoman in Washington. She says cash donations help the agency to buy food locally and transport it quickly to where it is needed. Over the last nine months, though, the cost to secure food aid has increased fifty-five percent. Jennifer Parmelee says this is the biggest danger the World Food Program has faced in its forty- year history. She says creative projects like FreeRice are badly needed right now.
