第二部分样题一
一、交际用语(共10分,每小题2分)
1~5题:选择正确的语句完成下列对话。
1.— How have you been lately, Molly?
— _________
A. Not bad.
B. I was at home.
C. See you later.
答案:A
解析:本题考查“日常问候”的交际用语。How have you been是How are you的现在完成式。not bad意思为“挺好”,所以答案选A。
2. —What do you think of this novel?
—_________
A. I’ve read it.
B. It’s well-written.
C. It was written by my uncle.
答案:B
解析:本题考查“询问信息”的交际用语。问话人问对方对这本小说的看法,答话人应针对提问给出明确回答。“It’s well-written”表示“写得很好”,完全表达了答话人的看法,其他选项答非所问,所以答案选B。
3.— I am really fed up with Larry!
—____________
A. How is she?
B. Are you OK?
C. Why do you say that?
答案:C
解析:本题考查“要求进一步解释”情境下的交际用语。问话人表达了对Larry的强烈不满,按照常理,答话人应该询问对方不满的原因。A选项是询问Larry的近况,B选项表达的是对问话人现状的关心,所以答案选C。
4. — What do you think of death penalty?
—___________
A. Don’t talk to me.
B. Leave me alone.
C. I think it’s good in some sense.
答案:C
解析:本题考查“询问对方观点”情境下的交际用语。问话人询问对方怎么看待死刑,答话人发表意见,觉得在某种程度上,死刑是合理的。A选项和B选项均不是表达看法,所以答案选C。
5. —What does educational quality mean to you?
—___________, quality education means good learning standards in educational institutions.
A. As far as I’m concerned
B. I have no idea
C. I don’t agree with you
答案:A
解析:本题考查“提出自己想法”情景下的交际用语。问话人询问:“教育质量对于你意味着什么?”这是在询问对方的看法或意见,因此,答话人应该提出自己的意见。B选项意思是“我不知道”,不适合这个情境。C选项意思是“我不同意你”,也不适合,因为对方并未表达自己的看法。A选项意思是“就我所知”,符合这个对话的情境,所以答案选A。
二、词汇与结构(共30分,每小题2分)
6~20题:阅读下面的句子,从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个能填入空白处的正确选项。
6.Was _____ that I saw last night at the concert?
A. you B. that yourself C. it you
答案:C
译文:我昨晚在演唱会上看见的是你吗?
解析:此题考查强调句的一般疑问句式。强调句的结构为:It is/was+被强调部分+that,这里强调的是宾语,所以答案选C。
7. It is high time that we _______ him the truth.
A. should tell B. tells C. tell D. told
答案:A/D
译文:是我们该告诉他真相的时候了。
解析:It is (high) time后面接从句时须用虚拟语气。从句中的谓语动词有两种形式,或者用动词的过去式(be用were),或者用“should + 动词原形(should不能省略)”,所以答案选A。
8. I leave my house around at midnight and walk around the city _______ what I find.
A. to gather B. gathering C. gather
答案:B
译文:我午夜时分离开家,在城里四处走走,搜集发现的东西。

译文:如果必须上法庭的话,恐怕控方会利用新闻媒体极力抹黑我们公司。
解析:本题主要考查助动词does表示强调的用法,A选项和C选项在时态上和单复数一致上都不对,所以答案选B。
10.There is still a lot of work ________ on teacher training.
A. to do B.to be done C. doing
答案:B
译文:在教师培训方面还有很多工作要做。

解析:
这是关于刘辉和戈登讨论英国的电视许可证系统的一段对话。
21.刘辉想问戈登一个问题,而随后,刘辉确实问了戈登问题,由此可以推知,戈登同意回答刘辉的问题。C选项表示“尽管去做;不要等”的意思。所以选C。
22.戈登向刘辉介绍,在英国,无论是通过电视还是网络收看电视节目,都需要有电视许可证。然后,刘辉问:“包括在电脑和手机上收看吗?”。后面的问题应该跟使用范围有关,因为戈登回答:“是的,包括使用数码机顶盒。”所以选E。

26~30题:请根据短文内容判断给出的语句是否正确,正确的写“T”,错误的写“F”。
Passage
Graffiti painting is traditionally a daredevil pursuit. 26.Teenagers dodge security guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared from Britain’s cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. 27. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls, such as the Stockwell ball courts. In time the practice may die out entirely.
28.The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing. Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishments are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into painting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games.29. Some have gone to art school and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard.
Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. 30. Those men—and almost all are men—are now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon—a slightly healthier alternative to sitting and watching football.
26.Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names on trains and buses.
27.Less tags can be found in public places nowadays.
28.Because of better policing graffiti decreases.
29.Some teenagers go to art school in order to learn to paint walls.
30.Taggers and graffiti artists are still willing to take risks.
答案:26. F 27. T 28. T 29. F 30. F
解析:
26.这是一道细节题。第一段的第二句意为“青少年们避开保安人员,把自己的名字涂写在火车和公交车上。”此句中的“避开保安人员”说明他们并非不害怕,所以选F。
27.这是一道推断题。第一段的第五句意为“(英国)环境部作的一项调查显示,涂鸦签名的地方比以前少了”,所以选T。
28.这是一道细节题。第二段第一句意为“涂鸦签名和在火车上涂鸦的现象减少的最明显的原因是监控更得力”,所以选T。
29.这是一道细节题。第二段第七句意为“一些青少年到艺术学校去学习是为了从绘画中赚钱”,所以选F。
30.这是一道细节题。第三段第二句意为“那些人——几乎都是男人——现在随着年龄的增长,都不愿意承担风险”,所以选F。
