Swimming, hiking, boating, fishingthe days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some frien
13、ds and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, p
14、art of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise (巡航，巡游) in my father“s 18-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember
15、that on my cruise I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.（分数：15.00）(1).What was the original reason for holding the summer school?（分数：3.00）A.The father wanted the children to lear

19、hmaking is still the most common way for boys to meet girls. Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars by introducing suitable marriage partners to each other, but partners also play a role in the process during which young Koreans meet. In Confucian Korea, where marriage is re
20、garded as more of a business contract than a sacred thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul. The business of continuing the family lineage (血统) and keeping the bloodlines pure is often too important to be left to roman
21、ce and chance encounters. Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, from which her parents can tell if she is interested. For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wan
22、ts them to stay. Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with the introduction being made by friends. But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man or woman in the country who has not gone through this processsometimes six or seven times.（分数：15.00）(1).The word “mat
23、chmaking“ in Paragraph 1 means _.（分数：3.00）A.a very formal ritual attended by boys and girlsB.introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriageC.producing matches to make a fire or light a cigaretteD.arranging games between men and women(2).The fact that the first meeting is r
24、epeated again and again in coffee shops in the main hotels suggests that _.（分数：3.00）A.Koreans like drinking coffee in coffee shops very muchB.men and women want to meet as many times as possibleC.they are busy with communicating with different peopleD.marriage is seen as a business contract instead
25、of something sacred(3).Why does the matching still exist in Korea?（分数：3.00）A.Because most people want to keep the bloodlines pure and chance encounters romantic.B.Because most people try to avoid romance and keep the bloodlines pure.C.Because most people regard marriage as continuing family lineage
26、and romance.D.Because most people try to break family lineage and bloodlines.(4).Which of the following is true according to the passage?（分数：3.00）A.Almost every man or woman in Korea has to go through the matchmaking.B.From the signal the boy“s parents know whether their son is interested in the gir
27、l or not.C.At present young Koreans no longer need matchmaking to help them find partners.D.Only a girl and a boy will appear in the first arranged meeting.(5).The passage is mainly about _.（分数：3.00）A.the practice of matchmaking in KoreaB.the importance of a business contractC.the work of profession
28、al matchmakersD.the first meeting between men and women六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：15.00)A question often put to the specialist on fishes is “How long do fishes live?“ This puts the specialist in an embarrassing position because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question. But actual
29、ly this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state. We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we ca
30、nnot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it. We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone. We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the ag
31、e of the largest on record, but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span. Unlike human beings, fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity (成熟). They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in ma
32、ture fishes.（分数：15.00）(1).People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its _.（分数：3.00）A.sizeB.life spanC.ageD.variety(2).The specialist is embarrassed by the question because _.（分数：3.00）A.he does not know the answerB.there is no answer to the questionC.it is a silly and simple question for hi
33、mD.there is no definite answer to this question(3).We can know a fish“s age from its _.（分数：3.00）A.weightB.sizeC.scalesD.length(4).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：3.00）A.Different kinds of fishes have different life spans.B.It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a
34、fish lives in its natural state.C.Mature fishes grow more quickly than young ones.D.The specialist makes marking to know the rate of growth of fishes so that they know the age of the largest ones.(5).Human beings, unlike fishes, _.（分数：3.00）A.stop growing when they reach maturityB.grow faster after m
35、aturingC.continue to grow as long as they liveD.have a short life span七、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：15.00)What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say, “I wish I could help y
36、ou, but I“m short of money myself.“ In fact, you are not short of money, but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don“t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars (说谎者) than men, particular
37、ly when telling a “white lie“, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which
38、they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way. Research has also been done into the way people“s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant
39、ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying, “I wish I were somewhere else now.“（分数：15.00）(1).This passage tells us that telling lies is _.（分数：3.00）A.often neces
40、sary in order to avoid being defeatedB.quite bad because people ought to be honestC.sometimes necessary in order not to hurt others“ feelingsD.usually bad if you are talking with a good friend(2).The writer says that women are better liars than men because _.（分数：3.00）A.their lies are easier to be ac
41、cepted by menB.men are not as skillful as women in telling liesC.they often have a good intention in telling liesD.women tell fewer lies than men do(3).A “white lie“ means a lie that _.（分数：3.00）A.is told with a good intentionB.is quite unbelievableC.is almost true to the factD.often has a bad purpos
42、e(4).Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling lies that _.（分数：3.00）A.will allow them to gain some benefitsB.seem to be strange but interestingC.can make women believe to be trueD.may keep better relations with others(5).It can be concluded from the passage that _.（分数：3.00）A.
43、there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lyingB.people“s behaviors sometimes can tell us they are lyingC.people often repeat what they are saying when telling a lieD.in some situations women are most likely to tell a lie八、Writing(总题数：1，分数：40.00)21.Directions: For this part, you are require

45、 living a happier life now, _?（分数：1.00）A.isn“t oneB.aren“t weC.isn“t itD.aren“t they 解析：考点 反意疑问句 当陈述部分的主语为 everybody，everyone，anybody，anyone，nobody 等表示人的不定代词时，反意疑问句的主语通常用 they。故本题应选 D。10.Sorry, I didn“t know _ Mr. Smith has already returned from his holiday. I“ll go and see him in a minute.（分数：1.00）
46、A.that B.whenC.whetherD.if解析：考点 宾语从句 分析句子结构可知，I didn“t know 是主句部分，本题需要填入一个连接词来引导宾语从句，且在从句中不作句子成分。故应选 that。11.The professor paused as if _ his students to ask questions on the point he had just made.（分数：1.00）A.expecting B.to expectC.expectedD.to have expected解析：考点 状语从句 当 as if 从句是“主语+系动词”结构时，可省略主语和系动
47、词。本句省略了 he was，又因从句描述的是过去某个时间点正在进行的动作，故用过去进行时态。注意 B 项不定式表“将来”意义，不符合语境。12.Is 200 dollars _ for the expenses of your trip?（分数：1.00）A.importantB.sufficient C.availableD.comfortable解析：考点 词义辨析 important：重要的；sufficient：足够的；available：可得到的；comfortable：舒适的，舒服的。根据句意，本题选 B。13.Criticism and self-criticism is ne
48、cessary _ it helps us to correct our mistakes.（分数：1.00）A.since thatB.in that C.due toD.because of解析：考点 状语从句 本句是由短语 in that，引导的原因状语从句，意为“因为，基于的理由”。in that 相当于because，通常用于正式文体。since that 构不成固定搭配；due to：由于，应归于，其后多跟名词；because of 不可引导句子。故应选 B。14._ to speak, I shall start making preparations tomorrow.（分数：
49、1.00）A.Having invitedB.Having been invited C.InvitingD.Be invited解析：考点 非谓语动词 分析句子结构可知，逗号前面的句子作整个句子的状语，所以排除选项 D。且此处句子主语 I 和动词invite 之间为动宾关系，且动作 invite 发生在主句谓语 start 之前，故本题应选 B。15.How I wish I _ to repair the watch! I only made it worse.（分数：1.00）A.had triedB.hadn“t tried C.didn“t tryD.have tried解析：考点 虚拟语气
