11、em facing Chile as it promotes itself as a tourist destination is that it is at the end of the earth. It is too far south to be a convenient stop on the way to anywhere else and is much further than a relatively cheap 21 half-day“s flight away from the big tourist markets. Chile, therefore has to fi

12、ght hard to attract tourists, to convince travelers that it is worth to come halfway round the world to 22 visit. Like all South American countries, Chile sees tourism as a valuable earner of foreign currency, and it has been 23 far more serious than most in promoting its image abroad. Relatively st

In Peru, guerrilla 25 warfare in recent years has put a heavy blow to the tourist 26 industry and fear of street crime in Brazil has reduced the attraction of Rio de Janeiro as a dreamy destination for

14、27 foreigners. More than 150,000 people are directly involved in Chile“s tourist sector, an industry which earns the country more than US $ 950 million each year. The state-runned 28 National Tourism Service, in partnership with a number of private companies, are currently running a worldwide 29 cam

15、paign, taking part in trade fairs and international events to attract visitors to Chile. With the Pacific on the one side 30 and the Andean mountains on the other, Chile boasts natural attractions. Its beaches are not up to Caribbean standards but resorts such as Vina del Mar are generally clean and

16、 un-spoilt and have a high standard.（分数：25.00）Jeff Peters and Andy Tucker could never be trusted. One day, the two men decided to open a marriage business to make some quick and easy money. Jeff Peters and Andy Tucker were now ready to catch a few fishes on the hook. They placed their advertisement

17、in 31 newspapers across the country. They put two thousand dollars in a bank under Missus Trotter“s name. They gave her 32 the bank book to show if anyone question the honesty of 33 their marriage agency. They were sure that Missus Trotter could be trusted and that it was safe to leave the money wit

And they told them to include two dollars to make the cost of giving the second letter to the charming 36 widow. Almost all the men sent in the two dollars that 37 requested. It seemed

20、to be an easy business. Still, Andy and Jeff often spoke about the trouble of cutting open envelopes and take the money out. 38 A few of the men came on person. Jeff and Andy sent 39 them to Missus Trotter and she did the rest. Soon, Jeff and Andy were receiving about two hundred dollars a day. One

26、析：nerve-shakingnerve-shaken解析 句中用的是 shake“动摇(信心、信念)”这一意义，而作为这个意思时，shake 是及物动词，例如：She was shaken by the crisis. 所以作为名词定语应该用它的-ed分词形式。解析：mountainthat解析 谓语动词词组 find out后面实际上有三个并列的宾语从句，当宾语从句并列时，只有第一个宾语从句的引导词 that可以省略，而人们常常把最后一个宾语从句的引导词 that遗漏。解析：and asbut解析 前文中有一个“not only”，那么后面必须要有“but(also)”与之对应，否则这个结

27、构便是不完整的。解析：viciousvice解析 vicious 是形容词，它对应的名词形式是 vice。根据上下文，此处前有定冠词 the，后有介词 of，所以应该用名词形式的 vice。解析：thatthose解析 代词和它的先行词必须保持数的一致，原文中 that的先行词应该是 on-goings，那么应该用 that的复数形式 those。解析：backto解析 trace back to 的意思是“追溯到(的源头)”，其中副词 back可以省略，然而介词 to是不可以缺少的。解析：breathesbreaths解析 breathe 和 breath两个词易混淆，前者是动词，后者是名词

28、，这里应当是名词形式，而且是复数 breaths。关于 breath的词组有：hold one“s breath(屏住呼吸)、take a breath(吸气)、breath test(呼气测醉试验)等。解析：wasis解析 虽然这一句很长，它的结构是动词性替代“so+代动词 do+somebody”。代动词 do包括助动词 be，have，do 以及情态助动词。在一般情形下，代动词 do的时态与前句是一致的。解析：gorgeouslymore解析 既然这个句子中有“than”，那么就应该有比较级与之搭配。所以应该在副词原形 gorgeously之前加上比较级标记 more。解析：timest

29、he解析 time 表示“时代”，要用复数形式加定冠词 the。如：He is not willing to move with the times.According to Oxford English Dictionary, book is “a written or printed treatise or series of treatises, occupying several sheets of paper or other substance fastened together so as to compose a material whole“. Books are among

30、 the most powerful instrument man has created. In them, knowledge 11 and ideas may be preserved intactly despite the passage 12 of time or the effects of wars and atural disasters. In addition to serve as sources of knowledge and tools 13 of learning, books have long been valued for the pleasure and

31、 entertainment they provide for. In early times, books 14 consisted of inscribing clay tablets, rolls of papyrus, sheets 15 of parchment, or other materials. Modem books consist of printed pages bound between protective covers. The earliest survived works that may be classified as books were 16 prod

32、uced in Egypt and Mesopotamia (modem Iraq) about 5,000 years ago. The wedge-shape letters characteristic of 17 cuneiform script was pressed into the damp clay. Gradually papyrus scrolls replaced the clay tablets because of the Aramaic language, which could not easily be transcribed in cuneiform char

33、acters. Papyrus scrolls were made of fiat strips 18 cut from the stem of the papyrus plant. The strips were pasted together to form long sheets. A stick was attached to each end of the sheet, which was then wounded up to form 19 a scroll. The papyrus could be easily carried and stored, and 20 it was

34、 poor for preserving records. Eventually parchment (the specially prepared skill of an animal, usually a sheep or a goat) replaced papyrus as a writing material.（分数：25.00）解析：instrumentinstruments解析 注意前面的“among”一词暗示了“instrument”应该用复数。解析：intactlyintact解析 “intactly”无法形容“preserved”，只能表示“preserved”的结果或目的

35、，所以用形容词“intact”。解析：serveserving解析 “in addition to”中的“to”为一介词，所以后面的动词应使用-ing 形式。解析：for/解析 这一句句尾的“for”多余。“provide for”连用作为词组时表示“给养某人”。解析：inscribinginscribed解析 “inscribing”表主动，而这里的“clay tablets”为“被刻上文字的泥版”，所以应使用“inscribed”。解析：survivedsurviving解析 “survived”表示“被(其他东西)取代的”，此意在这里不通，所以应改为“surviving”表示“现存的”。

36、解析：wedge-shapewedge-shaped解析 名词与其他词用连字符连接做另一名词的修饰语，有一种情况就是需将该名词加上-ed 词尾，如：a red-haired woman, a middled-aged man。解析：offrom解析 “be made from”与“be made of”的区别在于前者是材料几经变异已很难看出原来的模样，而后者则变化不大。由于在此处纸莎草卷是用压平的纸莎草茎做成的这一点已很难辨认了，所以用介词“from”。解析：woundedwound解析 “wounded”是动词“wound”的过去分词，而“wound”又是动词“wind”的过去分词，应注意辨

37、析这两个词。“wound”作及物动词时意思是“受伤”；“wind”作及物动词时，意思是“缠绕”。解析：andbut解析 “and”在这里不合逻辑，因为前半句指出的是纸莎草的优点，而后半句则是缺点，应用表示转折的连词“but”。The biggest problem facing Chile as it promotes itself as a tourist destination is that it is at the end of the earth. It is too far south to be a convenient stop on the way to anywhere e

38、lse and is much further than a relatively cheap 21 half-day“s flight away from the big tourist markets. Chile, therefore has to fight hard to attract tourists, to convince travelers that it is worth to come halfway round the world to 22 visit. Like all South American countries, Chile sees tourism as

39、 a valuable earner of foreign currency, and it has been 23 far more serious than most in promoting its image abroad. Relatively stable political within the region, it has benefited 24 from the problems suffering in other areas. In Peru, guerrilla 25 warfare in recent years has put a heavy blow to th

40、e tourist 26 industry and fear of street crime in Brazil has reduced the attraction of Rio de Janeiro as a dreamy destination for 27 foreigners. More than 150,000 people are directly involved in Chile“s tourist sector, an industry which earns the country more than US $ 950 million each year. The sta

41、te-runned 28 National Tourism Service, in partnership with a number of private companies, are currently running a worldwide 29 campaign, taking part in trade fairs and international events to attract visitors to Chile. With the Pacific on the one side 30 and the Andean mountains on the other, Chile

42、boasts natural attractions. Its beaches are not up to Caribbean standards but resorts such as Vina del Mar are generally clean and un-spoilt and have a high standard.（分数：25.00）解析：furtherfarther解析 “further”作“进一步”解，而“farther”才是表示距离上的“更远”的意思；要注意区分两者的意思。解析：to comecoming解析 “be worth doing”为正确的搭配，而非“be wo

43、rth to do”。还要注意“be worthy of being done”这一词组。解析：andalthough解析 此处用“and”的意思有些蹊跷，这里改为“although”要比用其他如“but”这样的连词好，因为“although”强调的是主句，而“but”则强调随后的分句。解析：politicalpolitically解析 此处尽管“political”显然不对，但改起来却不太容易。如果按照考题的要求似乎只能改为“politically”，修饰“stable”，作主语“it”的修饰语。解析：sufferingsuffered解析 此处“suffer”一词与所修饰的词“proble

44、ms”的关系应为被动而非主动，所以用-ed 分词。解析：putdealt解析 “put a (heavy) blow to”的搭配不当，应改为“deal a (heavy) blow to”。解析：dreamydream解析 可以用“dreamy”来形容一个小姑娘，但如果想表示“理想的，理想中的”，则用名词“dream”，如“dream city”，“dream wife”。解析：runnedrun解析 动词“run”的过去分词为“run”，而非“runned”。解析：areis解析 本句的主语为“The state-run National Tourism Service”，所以谓语应与之保

45、持一致，而“in partnership with a number of private companies”只不过是伴随状语，不应混淆它与主语的关系。解析：the(one)/解析 此处的“the”为多余，而在词组“on the one hand”中则必须有冠词“the”。Jeff Peters and Andy Tucker could never be trusted.

46、dy Tucker were now ready to catch a few fishes on the hook. They placed their advertisement in 31 newspapers across the country.
