              An Eye-witness Account of a Traffic Accident

    Yesterday afternoon, I happened to witness a terrible traffic accident on my way home from school. It was 5:30 p. m. , I was riding my favorite Giant back home. When I got to the last crossing on the Golden Lion Street, the red light was on. So I applied the brakes, along with a long queue of vehicles waiting to pass.

    Just at that moment, a heavy-load truck with earth roared forward at my side and bumped against a private Accord of Honda traveling eastbound. As a result, the windshield of the lorry was broken into pieces and its driver got fatally wounded on the head on the steering wheel. The driver of the Accord and his girlfriend, the only passenger in the car, only got minor injuries, but his car lost its rear axel and two wheels and was totally dead.

    As for the cause of the accident, I think the driver of the lorry should be held responsible: the light was red then; he should have stopped and waited. It was he who had broken the traffic regulations. In addition, the bad weather was part of the cause. It was drizzling then, and the road was quite slippery. Finally, drunk driving was probably an important factor. As the police discovered on the spot; there was a heavy alcoholic smell on the dead body of the lorry driver.

Part Ⅱ  Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

 1. 由“Clocks”部分第一、二句“At best, historians know that 5,000 6,000 years ago, great civilizations in the Middle East and North Africa started to examine forms of clock-making instead of working with only the monthly and annual calendar.., but it has been suggested that the intention was to maximize time available to achieve more as the size of the population grew.” 可见中东和北非的一些民族在五六千年前就开始研制钟表了。由于人口的增长，研制一定的时间段用于工作”是正确的。因此，答案为YES。

2. 由“Sun Clocks”部分最后一段“Another ancient Egyptian ‘shadow clock’ or ‘sundial’ has been discovered to have been in use around 1500 BC, which allowed the measuring of the passage of ‘hours’... For it to work successfully then at midday or noon, the device had to be

 turned 180 degrees to measure the afternoon hours．”可见要想测量下午的时间，必须在正午将没备旋转180度。因此，我们可以断定这种计时器还不能做到连续、自动测量时间，必须在中午时手动旋转设备180度。故此题答案为NO。

3．由“Water Clocks”部分第一句“‘Water clocks’were among the earliest time keeping devices that didn't use the observation of the celestial bodies to calculate the passage O{time．”可见水钟是不*观察天体来测量时间的最早的设备之一。但文章并没有进一步提供信息说它是否是第一个这样的计时设备。因此信息不充分，本题判断为NOT GIVEN。

4．由“Mechanical Clocks”部分第一段“In 1656，‘Christian Huygens'(Dutch scientist)， made the first ‘Pendulum clock’．．．．‘Galileo Galilei' is credited，in most historical books，for inventing the pendulum as early as 1582，but his design was not built before his death．”可以看出，大多数历史教科书认为Galileo Galilei是第一位早在1582年就设计出摆钟的人，但直到他去世也没有制作出摆钟。第一个摆钟是荷兰科学家Christian Huygens制作出来的。故此句答案为NO。

5．由“Water Clocks”部分第三句“Most of these clocks were used to determine the hours of the night，but may have also been used during daylight．”可见水钟主要用于夜间计时。故本题答案为“the hours of the night”。

6．由“Mechanical Clocks”部分第三、四句“Huygens’clock，when built，had an error of‘less than only one minute a day．’This was a massive leap in the development of maintaining accuracy， as this had previously never been achieved．”可见这个钟的误差每天不到一分钟。这在计时准确性的发展史上，是巨大的飞跃。因此，本题的正确答案是“maintaining accuracy”。

7．由“Quartz Clocks”部分第二段第一句“Quartz clocks continue to dominate the market because of the accuracy and reliability of the performance，also being inexpensive to produce on mass scale．”可见由于其准确和稳定，也由于其成本低，适于大规模生产，石英钟将继续占有市场的主导地位。故此题正确答案为“accurate and reliable”。

8．由“Atomic Clocks”部分第四段第三、四句“Transportation，financial markets，communication， manufacturing，electric power and many other technologies have become dependent on super- accurate clocks．Scientific research and the demands of modern technology continue to drive our search for ever more accuracy．”可见是科学研究和现代技术的要求驱使我们不断探寻日益精确的计时方法。故本题答案为“demands of modern technology”。

9．由“Atomic Clocks”部分第三段最后一句“From the‘Macrocosm’，or‘Planetary Alignment’， to the‘Microcosm’，or‘Atomic Frequency’，the cesium now maintains accuracy with a degree of error to about‘one-millionth of a second per year’．”可见随着技术的发展，原子钟已经可以达到一年误差大约一百万分之一秒。比起前面的钟表不知道精确了多少倍。故本题答案为“the atomic clock”。

10．由“Something to Remember”部分第一段“The only thing that should be remembered during all this technological development is that we should never lose the ability to tell the time approximately by natural means and the powers of deduction without requiring crutches to lean on”可见无论计时技术如何发展，我们不能失去通过自然手段判定大概时间的基本能力。故本题答案为“natural means”。

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.

Passage One

    The American Civil War began on April 12, 1861 in South Carolina. The war took more than 600,000 lives, destroyed property valued at $5 billion and brought freedom to 4 million black slaves.

    In November, 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected the 16th President of the United States. Since Lincoln had become well known throughout the country for his anti-slavery views, his election caused a panic among the slave owners in the South. Early in February, 1861, seven states that seceded from the Union formed the Confederate States of America, with Jefferson Davis as President. So shortly after Lincoln had taken office, it was decided by his Cabinet that the Union was to be kept by force.

    The war went on for 4 bitter years, with ups and downs on both sides. In manpower, wealth, and resources, the North was much stronger. The south, however, had better generals and a better military position. So, the first two years of the Civil war went badly for the North. It was not until the summer of 1863 that the Union troops began to win decisive victories on the battlefields. On July 1, 1863, the Confederates met the Union army at the little town of Gettysburg in southern Pennsylvania. After three days of fighting, the southern forces weakened and were forced to retreat. The Battle of Gettysburg has been called the turning point of the war. Finally the Confederate army had to surrender, ending the war in May, 1865. As a result of the war, slavery was abolished and the Union was kept.

[NextPage]

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. How much property was destroyed in the war?

27. Why did the election of Lincoln cause a panic among the slave owners?

28. What is regarded as the turning point of the war?

Passage Two

    During World War II, Great Britain and the United States tried to deal with the problem of an international agreement on money. The two countries tried to set up a formal system that everyone would use to exchange money between countries. The system they set up is usually called the Bretton Woods System. The system got this name from the town in New Hampshire in the United States where the international agreement was signed. The Bretton Woods Agreement was signed in 1944. When it was signed, it seemed to be a good system.

    The Bretton Woods Agreement had two main parts. The first part concerned exchange rates. All of the countries that signed the agreement promised to regulate their exchange rates. The countries promised not to change their exchange rates too often. This was a very important part of the agreement. It helped to stabilize the international finance system. The second part of the Bretton Woods Agreement concerned a currency fund. The fund was supposed to help countries that needed currency. All the countries contributed some of their currency to the fund. They could borrow the necessary currency from the fund. This helped all of the member countries to do business with each other. This second part of the agreement was called the International Monetary Fund.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. How did the Bretton Woods System get its name?

30. What did countries that signed the agreement promise to do?

31. Who contributed money to the International Monetary Fund?

Passage Three

    A good way to see the USA is by car. Americans love their automobiles and in the past fifty years they have developed a vast network of roads and freeways to help them reach their destinations.

    As few visitors have their own cars, renting one is the next best thing. You will need a valid driver's license and either international credit cards, or a deposit.

    You should start out with a working knowledge of the road. Regulations vary from state to state and this can be very confusing to a newcomer. For example, in some states it is legal to turn right at a red light if there is no approaching traffic, while in other states you will be fined for this action. Throughout the country it is forbidden to pass a school bus when it has stopped to let off children.

    The size of the country may startle you at first and you may be surprised at the spectacular physical beauty. When the first pioneers began to expand west into the wildness, the natural resources of the land seemed inexhaustible. Nearly 1,000 million acres of land was covered by virgin forest. Much of this was burnt off for farmland and it soon became apparent that the government would have to take action or the natural beauty of the land would be lost forever.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

32. What is not needed for a visitor to rent a car?

33. What is forbidden when one is driving in America?

34. What may startle you at first when traveling in America by car?

35. Why would the government have to take some actions?

Section C

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

    The International Olympic Committee chose a doctor from Belgium as its president. Jacques Rogge will serve at least eight years. He replaced Juan Antonio Samaranch of Spain who served as president for twenty-one years.

    Doctor Rogge received support from more than half the delegates in a second vote during a meeting in Moscow. He has worked for many years with the International Olympic Committee. He is fifty-nine years old.

    Observers called the election of Doctor Rogge a move to reform the worldwide sports organization. The new president says he will place great importance on preventing Olympic competitors from using banned drugs. Experts say his long record of honesty may help the Olympics recover from charges of illegal actions.  

    The accusations are linked to the winter games of 2002. Ten Olympic Committee members reportedly accepted gifts and large amounts of money to choose Salt Lake City to hold the events. The American government charged five people in connection with these gifts. Earlier this week, a federal judge dismissed four of fifteen charges against two men who led Salt Lake City's campaign to get the Olympics. The judge also postponed their trial.

The new president has been active in the Olympics since he was a young man. Jacques Rogge is a champion sailor who competed in three Olympic sailing events, the last in 1976. He has been a member of the International Olympic Committee for ten years. Doctor Rogge had a major responsibility for plans for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Those games were highly successful.

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)

Section A

47．由第二段第一句“Zoos were originally created as places of entertainment，and their suggested involvement with conservation didn't seriously arise until about 30 years ago．．．”可知正确答案为“30”。

48．从第三段第二句“This is probably the document's first failing，as I believe that 10，000 is a serious underestimate of the total number of places masquerading as zoological establishments．”中可以看出，作者认为文件的第一个缺点是大大低估了全世界动物园的数目。明目繁多但实质是动物园的机构远远多于一万这个数目。可见此处要填的词是意为“低估”的动词。因此，正确答案为“underestimates”。

49．第四段作者谈到选择参与保护项目的核心动物园的标准时提到“One would assume that the caliber of these institutions would have been carefully examined，but it appears that the criterion for inclusion on this select list might merely be that the zoo is a member of a zoo federation or association．”，实际上列入候选的唯一标准可能是：该动物园是动物园联盟或者动物园协会的成员。故该题可以答为“Any zoo that is a member of a zoo federation or association．”。

50．由第四段第二句和第三句“One would as some that the caliber of these institutions would have been carefully examined，but it appears that the criterion for inclusion on this select list might merely be that the zoo is a member of a zoo federation or association．This might be a good starting point，working On the premise that members must meet certain standards，but again the facts don't support the theory．”可见人们都以为参与保护项目的动物园应该按照标准 (caliber)严格筛选，但没想到例如候选的唯一标准(criterion)可能只是该动物园是动物园协会或者联盟的成员。如果这些协会的成员达到一定的标准(standards)也就罢了，但事实并非如此。两句话中“标准”三次出现。可见作者认为WZCS的第二个缺点是在挑选参与保护项目的动物园时，没有严格的标准。因此，此题要填的词为文中所出现的“caliber/criterion/ standard”中的任何一个。

51．文章第五段作者提到：Colin Tudge预测全球合作的喂养保护项目可以保护大约2 000种濒临灭绝的陆地脊椎动物。随后，在第六段中作者讲到30年以来只有16种物种可以说是被圈养保护项目所拯救了。这离Tudge所说的2 000种物种得到保护的目标还差得很远。稍加推测可知，作者对Tudge预测的目标是不信任的、怀疑的。因此，答案可以是“Disbelieving．/Skeptical．/Doubtful．”。

Section B

52．细节甄别题。文中第二段提及“These included the use of federal student loans to pay off credit cards，effectively shifting the debt，appeals to parents for loans，cutting back on course work to increase time at paid jobs，or even dropping out altogether to work full time．”，因此，正确答案为C项。选项C是college administrators从事的活动，不是美国学生。

53．细节甄别题。文中开篇提到“the consequences can be serious-ranging from higher drop- out rates to future employment problems and even suicide”，最后一段谈到“Card issuers were sponsoring school programs，funding activities and even entering into business partnerships with schools”，由此可以看出选项B是card issuers从事的活动，而不是美国学生，更不是使用credit card的后果。因此，正确答案为B项。

54．细节题。文末倒数第二句、第三句中提到了“students，card companies，university administrators”都应该为信用卡负面影响负责。因此，正确答案为A项。

55．主旨题。本文首句即提到“U．S．college students are increasingly burdened with credit card debt”，第二段主旨是“growing numbers of students who are unable to cope with the stress of their debts and/or part time jobs for servicing their credit cards”。第三段讲“debts can haunt students”，最后一段主要讲述“who should answer for the negative consequences”。因此，正确答案为A项。

56．推断题。文章主要讲述学生使用信用卡的负面影响，但也不能千篇一律断然否定使用信用卡，因而选项B不对。不使用信用卡电不能保证美国学生不自杀，故选项C不对。美国学生有part-time工作，是司空见惯也不能因为信用卡的负面影响而取消，故排除选项A。采用逐个排除法，可以确定正确答案为D项。

57．细节题。通过阅读文章可知“home schoolers”和“public schools”是相对立的。前者是指那些让孩子在家里接受教育的社会群体。故答案为C项。

58．细节题。从文章第三段可知，由于公立学校的官员们意识到，和提倡让孩子在家接受教育的社会群体一直保持敌对态度是无益处的，因此双方的矛盾有了一定的缓和。故答案为B项。

59．细节题。第五段最后一句作者提到：home schoolers之所以坚持自己的教育方法主要是因为宗教原因，因此答案为C项。

60．细节推断题。从文章最后两段可知，home schoolers认为他们的教育方法是最好的，并希望自己的这种生活方式、教育方法不受打扰。故答案为A项。

61．推断题。从文章最后一段可知，home schoolers希望自己的孩子不仅要学习传统课程，而且要学习严格的宗教知识。从这一角度来说，他们认为家是最好的教育场所。而另一些 home schoolers则认为学校的教育方法是不恰当。他们倒不十分在意学校的教学内容。因此答案为D项。

[NextPage]

Part V Cloze

62．本题考查关系代词。A项which作关系代词时，意指“那些，那个”，指物，而此句先行词为 technical vocabulary，因此A项为正确答案。B项what作关系代词时，意指“所”……事物(或人)”，C项who和D项whom都是指人的关系代词，不合句意。

63．本题考查词义。根据上下文可知，此处单词要与things or processes搭配，C项designate意为“标明，表示”，用在一起，说明专业词汇的作用是表示事物和过程，因此为正确答案。A项 describe意为“描述”，根据后文，我们知道专业词汇不具备这样的作用，命名是比描述更简单的过程，所以排除。B项talk about意为“讨论，谈论”；D项indicate意为“指出”，更加不符合上下文的语意。

64．本题考查句子之间的逻辑关系。上文中提到了专业词汇的作用，下文则说明专业词汇还能节省时间，显然是对上文的补充，D项besides表示补充关系故正确；选项A consequently表示因果关系：B项in contrast表示对比关系；C项however表示转折关系。

65．本题考查词义。分析句意可知，空白处所填单词的意思应为“经济的，实惠的”，A项 economical意为“经济的，实惠的”，故正确。B项economic意为“经济上的，经济学的”；C项 thrift意为“勤俭节约的”；D项economized意为“有效利用的，节省的”。

66．本题考查词义。本句的意思是指成千上万的技术词汇都收录进了词典．空白处所填单词为副词修饰这个句子，A项properly意为“恰当地”，符合上下文语意，故正确。B项possibly意为“可能地”；C项probably意为“大概，或许”；D项potentially意为“潜在地”。

67．本题考查固定搭配。on the outskirts构成固定搭配，指“在郊区，在……边缘上”，在句中是指专业词汇还处在英语的边缘上，因此正确答案为B项。

68．本题考查词义。分析句中空白处可知所填单词为副词，修饰动词differ(不同，不一致)，A项 largely意为“主要地，很大程度上地”；B项widely意为“广泛地，相差很大地”；C项generally意为“一般地，普通地”；D项extensively意为“广泛地，广阔地”，其中widely经常与differ搭配，并符合题意，故选B项。

69．本题考查词义。根据上下文本句的意思是专业词汇主要包括本族词和外来词，A项 constitutes意为“组成……”，不合句意；B项comprises意为“包含，由……组成”，为及物动词；C项composes意为“组成，作曲”，经常用于be composed of句型，不符合本句的结构要求；D项consists意为“包括”，用于consist of句型，符合句子要求，为正确答案。

70．本题考查固定搭配。本句中work oneself into．．．意为“进入”，句中表示外来词进入了我们的语言结构，故选A项。

71．本题考查句子之间的逻辑关系。上文中提到了专业词汇主要由本族词和那些进入我们语言结构的外来词构成，下文则说这些词在声音上更为熟悉，显然上下文之间构成了因果关系，上文是因，下文是果，A项However表示转折关系；B项Because表示原因；C项Hence表示结果；D项In addition表示补充关系，因此正确答案为C项。

72．本题考查词义。本句是个比较句，是比较本族词和那些进入我们语言结构的外来词构成的专业词汇，A项understood意为“理解”，说这些词汇更好地为人们所理解，符合句意；B项 considered意为“考虑”；C项known意为“被人所知的”；D项thought意为“思考”，都不太准确，因此正确答案为A项。

73．本题考查句子之间的逻辑关系。上下文提到专业词汇主要由本族词和那些进入我们语言结构的外来词构成，下文则说各行业还有很多不为人们所熟知的词汇，显然上下文之间是转折关系，A项Therefore表示因果关系；B项Yet表示转折关系：C项In contrast表示对比关系； D项So表示因果关系，因此正确答案为B项。

74．本题考查词义。本句意为每个行业都还有很多词汇不被人们所知，分析句子可知空白处所填单词应为量词，A项series意为“系列”；U项body作量词意为“大量”；C项set意为“一套，一副”；D项range意为“范围，行列”，只有B项最为恰当，为正确答案。

75．固定搭配题。句中be (remain) foreign to 构成固定搭配，意为“与……，无关，不为……所知”，句中意思是每个行业都还有很多词汇甚至不被受过教育的人所知，因此正确答案为C项。

76．本句中proportion(比例)是指不为人们所知的词汇的比例，本句所说的是这个比例在过去的 50年以来发生的变化，A项decreased意为“减少”，显然不合题意与常识；B项diminished意为“减少，变小”，也不正确，C项increasing意为“增加，提高”，但-ing形式不符合句子结构；因此，D项increased为正确答案。

77．本题考查词义。空白处所填单词修饰terms(术语)，A项made意为“制造”，说术语是制造出来的不合适：D项coined意为“造字，造词”，符合句意；C项produced意为“生产”；D项 formed意为“形成”，都不符合句意，因此正确答案为B项。

78．本题考查词义。A项related意为“有关系的”，B项addressing意为“从事于，忙于，写姓名地址”；C项confined意为“局限于”；D项connected意为“有联系的”，根据句意说新造的术语局限于特殊的行业更为准确，因此正确答案为C项。

79．语法知识题。本句中once意为“曾经”，因此要用过去时，而主语为复数，所以正确选项为D项。

80．本题考查固定搭配。句中be acquainted with构成固定搭配，意为“热悉……”，句中意思为大众科学使每个人都熟悉现代的观点和最新发现。A项associated和D项connected也能与 with构成搭配，意思分别是“与……有关联”，“与……联系在一起”，都不合句意，因此正确答案为C项。

81．本句表达的意思是任何科学实验，即便是在很远的实验室完成的，都能被人们尽快熟知，A项though引导让步状语从句，符合句意；B项when引导时间状语从句，C项as意为“像”，D项since表示原因，都不符合句意，因此正确答案为A项。

Part Ⅵ Translation

82．[注释] 本句的翻译关键在于“汲取”、“空白处”和“做笔记”。知识的“汲取”或“吸收”应使用 absorb；“空白处”固定表达为margin，虽然margin也有“边际”的含义；“做笔记”则为 make notes。

83．[注释] 本句翻译不难。首先是“比任何时候”的翻译使用句型“．．．than ever before”。其次，“流动，移动”翻译为mobile。

84．[注释] 本句的翻译首先要做到就是“是……而不是……”应使用句型“rather．．．than”。其次，“根据”翻译为on the basis of，当然也可以使用by这一类词；此外，“总体印象”应翻译为general impression。

85．[注释] 首先“梦想”的翻译使用词组dream of；本句的一个难点是“失重”——gravity-free的翻译。

86．[注释] 本句翻译的难点是“独家采访”和“头条”。“独家”即表示排除其他，因此翻译为 exclusive；“头条”则应译为front page headline。
