Part I Writing 作文 On Excessive Packaging Nowadays the phenomena of over-packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, just to name a few. There are several reasons of this over-packaging. The first is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging. From my perspective, excessive packaging has its consequences, including the loss of precious resources as well as extra workforce on garbage disposal. To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures. First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging. In addition, we need to advocate clear packaging and raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal to high quality. 【解析】 本次作文的話題是“過度包裝”，話題不斷新，考生應(yīng)該都比較熟悉。寫好本篇作文的 關(guān)鍵在于緊跟題目所列提綱：現(xiàn)象——原因——看法和建議，確定相應(yīng)的寫作結(jié)構(gòu)。重點(diǎn)分 析產(chǎn)生此現(xiàn)象的原因有哪些，把最重要的兩三點(diǎn)羅列下來。最后，根據(jù)分析出的原因提供相 應(yīng)的建議。 范文首段開門見山，首先一句話總結(jié)如今社會上過度包裝現(xiàn)象盛行，而后舉出一些實(shí)例 補(bǔ)充說明。 第二段重點(diǎn)從公司和消費(fèi)者兩方面論述產(chǎn)生過度包裝的原因。公司方面是為了吸引顧 客，刺激消費(fèi)，贏取更多的利潤；消費(fèi)者方面是認(rèn)為包裝越精美，質(zhì)量越好這種錯誤的消費(fèi) 意識。 接下來作者表明自己的看法，認(rèn)為過度包裝會導(dǎo)致很多問題：稀缺資源的流失；水，能 源的過度消耗以及產(chǎn)生不必要的垃圾場等。 最后一段作者針對原因提出了一些解決方案。第一方面，建立法律規(guī)章制度來約束企業(yè) 的過度包裝行為。第二方面，必須讓消費(fèi)者認(rèn)識到過度包裝不等同于高質(zhì)量，并提倡包裝物 滬江網(wǎng)校 www.HJclass.com 滬江網(wǎng)校內(nèi)部資料，轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處。www.HJclass.com 的回收利用。 本文條理清晰，論述充分，語言使用規(guī)范得當(dāng)，如：to name but a few，the first reason is that… ，on the other hand ，in my point of view ，to solve the problem，first ，in addition 等。 Part II 快速閱讀 1.

Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store? M: Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I’ll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn’t let anything stand in my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want. W: You mean you don’t keep regular hours? M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early. W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet? M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It’s great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers. W: Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business. Question 19-22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19.What is the woman doing? 20.What did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle shop? 21.Why did the man take over a bicycle shop? 22.What do we learn about the people working in the shop? 答案： 19.

A 點(diǎn)評：第一篇長對話是一期訪談節(jié)目，主題是對一位自主創(chuàng)業(yè)人士的一次訪談，難度一般， 要拿滿分應(yīng)該不難。主持人問及男士是如何想到要自己創(chuàng)業(yè)的，自己的自行車行是否有固定 營業(yè)時(shí)間，以及是否雇傭了一些員工。男士則順著主持人的問話，談及了自己的創(chuàng)業(yè)歷程， 店里的營業(yè)時(shí)間與方式等?？忌诼牭倪^程中，需要理解這些短語的意思，如 have one’s heart on it，意思是“決心，一定要”，stand in the way，意思是“阻礙，擋道”。一般 四級考生，這些短語在平常的學(xué)習(xí)中應(yīng)該是有所積累的，不是難題。 滬江網(wǎng)校 www.HJclass.com 滬江網(wǎng)校內(nèi)部資料，轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處。www.HJclass.com Conversation 2 W: Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think. M: Yes, but I’m not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Could you tell us something about that? W: Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it’s still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain’s machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there’s still a little. But it’s no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear? M: Yes, thanks. W: Now, to get back to what I was saying, there’s a lot of unemployment as well as geographical problems in the region. M: Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems? W: Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport problems, now though there are new train links and better roads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we’ll see this in more detail, so we’ll come back to this question, OK? M: OK, right. W: So I was about to say something about the work force in the region and the level of training and education. In general, it’s very good and improving. Question 23-25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 23. What does the woman say about the steel-related manufacturing in the region? 24. What problems hinder the region’s development? 25. What will the speakers discuss later? 答案： 23. B 24. C 25.

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 centre. Passage One I first met Joe Gumps when we were both 9 years old, which is probably the only reason he is one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high school, we wouldn’t even have had the chance to get to know each other. Joe is a day student, but I am a boarding student. We haven’t been in the same classes, sports or extra curriculum activities. Nonetheless, I spend nearly every weekend at his house, and we talk on the phone every night. This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know each other, due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests. In fact, to be honest, I struggle even now to think of things we have in common, but maybe that’s what makes us enjoy each other’s company so much. When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I’ve known whom I never disliked but simply didn’t take the time to get to know. Thanks to Joe, I have realized how little basis there is, for the social divisions that exist in every community. Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places. Questions: 26. Why does the speaker say Joe Gumps become one of his best friends? 27. Where does the speaker spend most of his weekends? 28. What has the speaker learned from his friendship with Joe? 答案： Q26: B. They had known each other since childhood 滬江網(wǎng)校 www.HJclass.com 滬江網(wǎng)校內(nèi)部資料，轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處。www.HJclass.com Q27: B. At Joe’s house Q28: A. Social divisions will break down if people get to know each other. 點(diǎn)評：本篇短文主要講述了作者和好朋友 Joe 之前的友誼。他們二人在 9 歲的時(shí)候就認(rèn)識 了，隨著時(shí)間的變化，兩個(gè)人的友誼也越來越牢固。作者在文章中反思，他之所以能和Joe 有如此深厚的友誼是因?yàn)樗麄兡軌蛴休^長的時(shí)間相處，能夠充分了解彼此。而在現(xiàn)代社會， 人們則很少有時(shí)間去了解他人。了解到問題所在，也讓作者更有決心去了解和結(jié)識更多的朋 友。 這篇文章基本上沒有生僻的詞匯，以敘述為主。但是其中有幾個(gè)短語需要關(guān)注：day student ：走讀學(xué)生；boarding student ：寄宿學(xué)生；curriculum：課程；mutual：相互的；nevertheless ： 然而； thanks to：多虧了….。理解了這些詞，對聽力的整體理解會有提升。 Passage 2 It was a bad night for Louis. His research in the neighboring town had taken longer than he expected. It was late and he was very tired when he drove home. He turned into his building’s parking lot, but all the spaces were full. He drove back out onto the street looking for a parking space. The first block was full. The next block was almost empty. Louis didn’t see a no-parking sign, but he suspected that if parking were allowed there, most of the spaces would be filled. Then he saw a small parking lot with two free spaces. He was so glad to see them that he didn’t even think to read the sign by the entrance. He drove in, parked, and hurried home to go to bed. The next morning he went back to the lot to get his car. It was gone. He ran home and telephoned the city police to say that his car had been stolen. It took the police only a minute to tell him what had happened. His car had been on a private lot. It had been taken away by the police. Louis had to take a taxi to the city garage far from the center of town. He had to pay a fee of $40 to get his car back. In addition, he got a parking ticket --- his first one ever in Greenville. 29. Where did Louis intend to park his car when he came back from work one night? 30. What did Louis think had happened to his car the next morning? 31. Where did Louis finally get his car back? 答案： Q29: A. In his building’s parking lot Q30: A. It had been stolen by someone Q31: B. In the city garage 點(diǎn)評：本篇文章是一本有趣的小故事。Louis很晚開車回家，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己小區(qū)和附近路邊的停 車位都滿了，所以他只能開車到隔壁的一個(gè)街區(qū)去停車。但是因?yàn)闀r(shí)間太晚，Louis都沒有 仔細(xì)觀察停車位入口旁的標(biāo)識。第二天早上，Louis發(fā)現(xiàn)車子不見了。他以為車輛被盜所以 報(bào)警。最后才發(fā)現(xiàn)，自己的車停到了別人私人車位上，被警察拖走了。Louis不得不開車到 很遠(yuǎn)的地方取車，而且還交了罰單。 這篇文章也很簡單，沒有出現(xiàn)太難的生詞。整個(gè)內(nèi)容就是一篇簡短的小故事，只要能抓 滬江網(wǎng)校 www.HJclass.com 滬江網(wǎng)校內(nèi)部資料，轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處。www.HJclass.com 住時(shí)間線索，整篇文章的結(jié)構(gòu)就很清楚了。 Passage 3 Well, to pick up where we left off last time, I believe we agreed the creativity is a mysterious idea. It's one of those things we all recognized when we see it. But we don't really understand what it is. We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative, but we don't know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural gift like good looks? Or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge? Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully, we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives. The creative process has always been accepted as a source of all important work in the arts. But we should not think the creativity play the role only in the arts. Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it. And this is what the creativity is all about. Imagining the world in a new way, and despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imaginations, we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolute new way. In fact, you were born with it. It is your birth right as a human being. And what's more, you use it every day almost every moment of your life. Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences. It's your creative mind to get the meaning from the chaos of your experiences and brings order to your world. 32: What did the speaker most probably discuss last time? 33: What is a widely accepted idea about the creative process? 34: What leads to major scientific discoveries according to the speaker? 35: What does the speaker imply about the creative process? 答案： Q32: D. The mysteriousness of creativity Q33: A. It is the source of all artistic work Q34: D. Creative imagination Q35: A. It is part of everyday life 點(diǎn)評：本篇文章講述了人類的創(chuàng)造力。大家都知道有創(chuàng)造力的存在，但是卻不知道創(chuàng)造力 確切的是什么。文章中提出問題，創(chuàng)造力是與生俱來的還是后天習(xí)得的？最后文章得出結(jié)論， 創(chuàng)造力是每個(gè)人都有的。它不僅僅在藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域有卓越的貢獻(xiàn)，其實(shí)在很多重要的科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)中 也扮演了重要角色。創(chuàng)造力可以幫助人們從一個(gè)全新的角度認(rèn)知世界，認(rèn)識自我。 這篇文章生詞不多，但是所談?wù)摰膬?nèi)容比較抽象。而且文章的第一句話，實(shí)際上是在提 醒，這篇文章是接著前面的某個(gè)內(nèi)容進(jìn)行深入。pick up 在這里表示“重新開始”，第一句話 就是說，接著上次的內(nèi)容繼續(xù)講。這一點(diǎn)是需要格外注意的。 滬江網(wǎng)校 www.HJclass.com 滬江網(wǎng)校內(nèi)部資料，轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處。www.HJclass.com 復(fù)合式聽寫 Students have been complaining more and more about stolen property. Radios, cell phones, bicycles, pocket calculators and books have all been reported stolen. Are there enough campus police to do the job? There are 20 offices in the campus security division. Their job is to handle crime, accidents, lost and found items, and traffic problems on campus. More than half of their time is spent directing traffic and writing parking tickets. Responding promptly to accidents and other emergencies is important, but it is their smallest job. Dealing with crime takes up the rest of their time. Very rarely did any violent crimes actually occur. In the last five years there have been no murders, seven robberies, and about sixty other violent attacks, most of these involving fights at parties. On the other hand, there have been hundreds of thefts and cases of deliberate damaging of public property, which usually involves breaking windows or lights, or writing on walls. The thefts are not the carefully planned burglaries that you see in movies. Things get stolen when it is just easy to steal them because they are left lying around unwatched. Do we really need more police？ Hiring more campus police would cost money, possibly making our tuition go up again. A better way to solve this problem might be for all of us to be more careful with our things. 答案： 36. calculators 37. handle 38. items 39.

If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our sky-high divorce rate. But this won’t necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages, nor is the trend likely to last. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis will probably do the same. We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses. The divorce rate, which had been rising slowly since the Civil War, suddenly dropped in 1930, the year after the Depression began. By 1932, when nearly one-quarter of the work force was unemployed, it had declined by around 25 percent from 1929. But this does not mean that people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes plummeting and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn’t afford to divorce. They feared that neither spouse would be able to manage alone. Today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households. Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes. After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities. In a 1940 book, “ The Unemployed Man and His Family,” the sociologist Mirra 滬江網(wǎng)校 www.HJclass.com 滬江網(wǎng)校內(nèi)部資料，轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處。www.HJclass.com Komarovsky described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job “with tireless search for work.” He was always active, looking for odd jobs to do. The problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain. Across the country, many similar families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale. For some, the hardships of life without steady work eventually overwhelmed their attempts to keep their families together. The divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold. Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the current crisis, working together and supporting one another through the early months of unemployment. Today’s economic slump could well generate a similar backlog of couples whose relationships have been irreparably ruined. So it is only when the economy is healthy again that we will begin to see just how many fractured families have been created. 57. In the initial stage, the current economic crisis is likely to _______. A. tear many troubled families apart B. bring about a drop in the divorce rate C. cause a lot of conflicts in the family D. contribute to enduring family ties 58. In the Great Depression many unhappy couples chose to stick together because _______ A. starting a new family would be hard B. they wanted to better protect their kids C. living separately would be too costly D. they expected things would turn better 59. In addition to job losses, what stands in the way of unhappy couples getting a divorce? A. A sense of insecurity. B. Mounting family debts. C. Difficulty in getting a loan. D.

B increased 本篇完形填空選自Amherst College大學(xué)教授Catherine A. Sanderson所著的Social Psychology 一書。主要闡述了如何處理婚姻中夫婦間的關(guān)系，比起將矛盾置于最后而爆發(fā)， 在婚姻剛剛開始時(shí)，坦率交流，更能持久地維護(hù)一段關(guān)系。面對矛盾，雙方應(yīng)當(dāng)學(xué)會換位思 考，并且要學(xué)會主動道歉。 本篇完形填空內(nèi)容并不生疏，對于考生而言，掌握其大意并不難。詞匯辨析依然是考 查的重點(diǎn)。如72、80、81、85、86題等，考生平時(shí)一定要注意積累形式、意思相近詞語之 間的區(qū)別。另外還需掌握動詞與介詞的搭配，以及常見連詞的使用。 在平時(shí)復(fù)習(xí)中，多閱讀原汁原味的外文文章，注意分析真題，注意積累以上幾個(gè)方面 的知識，一定會取得好成績。 Part VI 句子翻譯 87. Those flowers looked as if they hadn't been watered for a long time( 好長時(shí)間沒 有澆水了). 【點(diǎn)評】they 即flowers 做主語，用被動語態(tài)。一段時(shí)間應(yīng)用完成時(shí)，looked 過 去式相比，后面應(yīng)該過去完成時(shí)。 88. Fred bought a car last week. It is ￡1,000 cheaper than mine( 比我的車便宜一千英 鎊). 【點(diǎn)評】簡單的比較級，cheaper than。不需要重復(fù) car，直接用 mine 代替my car. 89. This TV program is quite boring. We might as well listen to the music ( 不妨聽聽 音樂). 【點(diǎn)評】might as well“不妨”，原句中有might。listen to the music，聽音樂。 90. He left his office in a hurry, with lights on and doors open( 燈亮著，門開著). 【點(diǎn)評】with 短語做伴隨狀語，邏輯主語和表語之間的系動詞省略。 91.The famous novel is said to have been translated into multiple languages( 已經(jīng)被 滬江網(wǎng)校 www.HJclass.com 滬江網(wǎng)校內(nèi)部資料，轉(zhuǎn)載請注明出處。www.HJclass.com 譯成多種語言). 【點(diǎn)評】be said to后面跟動詞原型，“已經(jīng)被譯”，用完成時(shí)被動語態(tài) have translated ，介詞用into 。 been 轉(zhuǎn)載請保留出處，http://www./doc/91ef163583c4bb4cf7ecd14d.html |
