Section B: ADACADC

Section A

1. M: How many students passed the inal English exam in your class?

W: Thirty. But still as many as 40 percent of the class failed. Quite disappointing, isn’t it?

Q: What does the woman think of the exam?

[解析] D. 观点态度题. 从女士所说的“Quite disappointing”来看，考试结果出乎意料，令人失望，与选项中的“fell short of her expectations”意义相同，所以答案为D. 注意选项A与D内容相反

2. W: Lots of young men enjoy extreme sports, do you?

M: Believe it or not, that is the last thing I’d ever want to do.

Q: What does the man mean?

[解析] B. 观点态度题. 女士问男士是否喜欢极限运动吗? 男士回答说极限运动是“the last thing I’d ever want to do”.这里暗含否定，即：极限运动是他最不愿意做的事情，即他不喜欢极限运动。注意last一词暗含否定的用法。（对话是靠词汇表达的，因此理解了词汇也就掌握了解题根本。这里所说的词汇不局限单词，还包括惯用语、俚语、习语等。关键的时候。一个词、一个习语就决定了成败）

3. W: When I go on a diet, I eat only fruit, and that takes off weight quickly.

M: I prefer to eat whatever I want, and then swim regularly to lose weight

Q: How does the man control his weight?

[解析] C. 行为活动题. 男士说他通过游泳减肥, 关键词为swim regularly, 指运动的一种方式, 选项C为体育锻炼, 所以C是正确答案. 其余三个选项都是对话中女士所采取的减肥措施.

4. M: When are we supposed to hand in our term paper, Mary?

W: They are due by the end of the week. We’ve only two days left. We’ll just have to hurry.

Q: What does the woman mean?。

[解析] A 谈论话题题. 女士所说的关键词due也就是意味着是deadline, 既然只有两天的时间, 说明The deadline is approaching soon . 如果没有听清due一词, 由女士的have to hurry也可推出答案.

5. W: How about the show last week, Jack?

M: I wish I hadn’t gone to see it

Q: what does the man mean?

[解析] A. 推理判断题。男士回答用得是虚拟语气，而虚拟语气往往表示与事实不相符的情况，即：说话人后悔去看展出了。由此可见，上周的展出不怎么样，选项A正确。（英语中的句式结构：条件句、强调句、比较结构虚拟语气等都可以提供解题线索）。

6. M: I cannot believe my phone bill this month. It seems too high.

W: Yeah, that happened to me a lot last year, but this year I have just cut down on my long-distance calls.

Q: What does the woman imply?

[解析] C. 观点态度题. 女士说：“this year I have just cut down my long-distance calls.”可以推断出long-distance calls take a lot of money. “cut down”here means reduce。

7. M: The subway sure is crowded this morning.

W: Yeah. It’s a pain but if we all drove everyday we wouldn’t be able to breathe in this city.

Q: What does the woman imply?

[解析] B. 推理判断题。男士说“if we all drove everyday we wouldn’t be able to breathe in this city”用得是虚拟语气表示如人们都开车，我们将无法呼吸，可以推断出汽车污染空气。选项B是答案。

8. W: Have you saved enough to buy that new laser printer for your computer yet?

M: You know money seems to be burning a hole in my pocket lately. Maybe next month.

Q: What does the man mean?

[解析] A. 谈论话题题. 从男士的回答：money seems to be burning a hole in my pocket lately可知他近来花钱很多, 没有足够的钱买, 所以答案为A。

Section B

Conversation 1

[解析]

1. 主旨题。对话中女生说她们选了体育课-攀岩，并说服Ben 也参加，推断出选项A与此相符；对话中女生说Rock-climbing is a good chance to challenge your body and will，这并非对话的主旨，所以选项B，C，D与对话主题不符。

2. 细节题。对话中男生说：“这里全是平地，怎么攀岩？”选项D与此相符；选项A与对话不符，既然是一门课，一定有人教；选项B, C与对话矛盾。

3. 推理题。对话中女生说：攀岩不是目的，重要的是在这过程中可以学到忍耐等其它技能，选项A与此相符。

4. 细节题。对话中女生说前几周进行手与上体的锻炼，选项C与此相符；选项B，A与对话问题不符；选项D未提及。

4. A [译文] 这部小说表现出对人性的深刻了解。

[考点] 固定搭配。

[解析] insight 常用于固定搭配an insight into sth.意思是“对?的深入了解”，如：The teacher had unusual insight into children’s emotions.（这位老师对儿童的情感有不同寻常的了解。）其他三个词都不与介词into搭配。Outlook “观点，看法”，如：He’s got a very positive outlook on life.（他有着非常积极的人生观。）imagination“想像”，如：Poets, artists and inventors need imagination.（诗人、艺术家和发明家都需要想象力。）fancy“愿望，空想，幻想”，如：By the power of fancy we may create an

unreal world.（靠想象力我们可以创造出一个幻想的世界。）注意：imagination着重根据现实创造性地构思新的想象。Fancy指无根据地想象，凭空揣想或把现实作虚构的安排。

5. A [译文] 要到那农舍去惟有穿过田地。

[考点] 固定搭配。

[解析] access“接近，通道，入口”，其后常接介词to ，构成“access to sth.”的固定搭配，意为“接近，进入…的途径”，如：the access to the building（进入大楼的途径），access常与动词have, gain, get连用，构成have/gain/get access to的结构，意为“可以使用，获得（某物）；可以接近/接触（某人）”。如：He has access to the president.（他有机会接近总统。）We have access to a good library.（我们可以使用图书馆。）avenue“街道，道路”，如：an avenue of peach trees（一条长满桃树的街道。）；exposure“暴露，揭露，暴光”，如：Exposure of the body to strong sunlight may be harmful.（人体暴露在强烈的日光下可能是有害的。）edge“边缘”，如：at the edge of the lake（在湖边），后三个选项都不符合本题的题意和搭配，只有A是符合题意的，故选A。

8. B [译文] 作为老师，约翰有义务唤起学生对教育的快乐感觉。

[考点] 固定搭配。

[解析] commit（犯（罪）），干（错/坏事）），后常接介词to，构成“be com-mitted to...（承诺/答应做某事）”的固定搭配。如：He has committed himself to support his brother’s children.（他已答应负责养育他哥哥的孩子。）He committed himself to the cause of revolution.（他献身于革命事业。）与devote和dedicate相关的短语分别为be devoted to…和be dedicated to…。故只有B正确。

9. C [译文] 校长因那个学生抢救落水儿童的英雄事迹而授予他一枚奖章。

[考点] 动词辨析。

[解析] 这四个选项都是及物动词或名词。作动词时，credit“记入贷方，信任”，prize“重视，珍视”，award “授予”（奖章、奖金、称号等），后接双宾语，构成award sb. sth. 或award sth. to sb.(授予某人某物) 的固定结构。如：They awarded the best students special scholarships.（他们授予最好的学生特殊奖学金。）reward “报答，酬谢，奖赏”，多以人或人的行为为宾语，常构成以下结构：reward sb. for sth. “因?奖赏某人”；reward sb. for sth.“用?酬谢某人”。如：He rewarded her with money.（他用钱

来酬谢她。）作名词时，award “奖品，奖”，指由于成绩优等或贡献卓越而获得的奖励，往往是一种荣誉，可以是精神的，也可以是物质的。如：The Olympic winner received a gold medal as an award. （奥林匹克运动会的冠军得到金牌一枚作为奖品。）reward 指因某人的劳动或行为而得到的“报酬、奖励”或因具有某项高贵品质（如美德、诚实、善良等）而得到的“奖赏、回报”。如：credit“信誉/用，信贷，学分”，prize指竞赛优胜者或抽彩获得的“奖品、奖金”，一般是物质上的，比award更具体，当表示奖励等级时（如一等奖、二等奖等）常用该词，而不用award。如：John was awarded the irst prize.（约翰被授予一等奖。）根据句意应选C。

10. C [译文] 这本书论及有关二次大战的一些问题。

[考点] 形近词辨析。

[解析] concern (n./vt.) 作名词时，意为“关心，关联，有关的事，公司，企业”；作动词时，意为“涉及，有关；使关心/担心”。它有以下几个常用短语：be concerned about/for sth.（担心/忧??）；be concerned in sth.（与某事有牵连或对某事负责任）；be concerned with sth.（与某事物有关，涉及某事物）；As/so far as sb./sth. be concerned （就??而言）。如：We are all concerned about/for his safety.（我们都关心他的安全。）He was concerned in the crime.（他与那起罪案有牵连。）Her latest documenta-ry is concerned with youth unemployment.（她最近的一部记录片是关于青年人失业问题的。）As far as I am concerned, nothing is more interest-ing than playing chess.（就我而言，没有什么比下象棋更有意思了）。根据题意，the Second World War前缺少一个介词，而这四个选项中，只有C. concerning是介词，意为“关于”。而A. concerned是形容词，做前置定语时，意为“担心的，忧虑的”，做后置定语时，意为“有关的”，如：concerned parents（忧心忡忡的家长们）；the things concerned（有关的事）。B, C选项是concern的被动式，也不符合题义，故应选C。

11. C [译文] 据报道，这个当地卫生组织是25年前建立的，当时Dr. Andon是第一任主

席。

[考点] 不定式作复合谓语结构的一部分。

[解析] 不定式作复合谓语结构的一部分就是指“be said/reported/known... +不定式”。此结构也可转换成：“It is said/reported/known... that”句型。如：Shanxi Province is known to have rich coal reserves.(=It is known that Shanxi Province has rich coal reserves.) （据了解山西省有丰富的煤炭资源。）本题中需考虑用不定式的哪种形式，即考虑它的“体”和“态”。因题中“25年前”在“is reported”之前发生，且“health organization”与“set up”之间是被动关系，所以不定式用完成被动式：to have been set up, 故选C。

12. C [译文] 他在需要钱的时候放弃工作是十分愚蠢的。

[考点] 不定式的逻辑主语。

[解析] 在不定式的复合结构中，逻辑主语与句中表语构成逻辑主谓关系，此时复合结构“for sb. to do sth.”应改为“of sb. to do sth.”，适用于此结构的表语形容词大都为表示人物性格特征和行为表现的形容词。如：foolish, careless, thoughtful, kind等。故正确答案为C。

13. B [译文] 一到工厂，他就开始工作。

[考点] 固定结构“on + 动名词”。

[解析] “on + doing sth.”这一结构表示“就在某时或某场合（之后）”；“一?就?”。故正确答案为B。

14. D [译文] 有人告诉吉姆第二天有个晚会。

[考点] 动名词的复合结构。

[解析] 因about是介词，所以后面要接动名词作宾语。该动名词的逻辑主语是there，所以由“there + 动名词being”构成动名词的复合结构作about的宾语。再如：I’m not in favor of mother selling the old house.（我不赞成母亲将老房卖掉。）选项A和C都是谓语形式，而about后面不是一个从句，不能用谓语形式。选项B没有用be 的动名词形式。故正确答案为D。

15. C [译文] 汤姆斯?爱迪生在失去了赖以独立生活的经济来源后，不得不找了份夜间电话接线员的工作。

[考点] 分词作状语。

[解析] 题中两个句子之间无连词连接，没有从句形式，可排除A。B是以主语从句形式出现，但后面缺少谓

语动词，连接不上。D虽然是分句形式，但与子句逻辑不符，所以也应排除。只有C选项Deprived of是过去分词，引导短语作主句的原因状语，符合题意。

16. D [译文] 学生们做完了所有的练习题，老师开始继续讲课文。

[考点] 分词独立主格作状语。

[解析] 首先从形式上观察，主句与前面部分用逗号隔开，故前面部分应是分词作状语，又主句的主语是the teacher，而分词的主语是the students，两者不一致，所以分词需带有自己的逻辑主语，这种带主语的分词结构称作分词的独立主格。本题中，分词的独立主格作原因状语，强调结果，又因学生做完习题动作先于老师继续讲课文，故应该用分词的完成式。因此选D。

17. D [译文] 生命是一支应该越燃越亮的蜡烛。

[考点] 过去分词短语作定语。

[解析] 动词mean的用法之一就是构成被动语态，即is meant，表示“人们打算或强烈期待（发生某事）”，mean作为及物动词，后接动词不定式表示“意欲，打算”或“故意”。candle本身并没有“意图”，所以不能选B、C，be meant to do这一结构一般不用进行时，故不可选A 。故本题答案为D。

18. A [译文] 如果配戴妥当，眼镜能校正大部分健康眼睛的视力问题。

[考点] 分词作状语。

[解析] 对于分词作状语的题，要弄清楚分词与主句主语之间的逻辑关系，在本句中，“glasses”和“it”之间是被动关系，另外，分句的主语和主句主语相同，并且分句的谓语动词为“be”可省略主语和谓语部分，实际上，该分句应为“When glasses are well itted”，由此可知，答案选A。

19. B [译文] 他妻子每天工作得很晚使他很生气。

[考点] 带逻辑主语的动名词。

[解析] 一般情况下，动名词的逻辑主语为谓语动词的主语，如果动名词动作的发出者不是谓语动词的主语时，则需要有自己的逻辑主语。动名词的逻辑主语就是在动名词前加一个名词的所有格或物主代词。若这个动名词做宾语，也可以用代词的宾格。本题中，从成分判断，空格处应充当句子的主语，所以B选项（带逻辑主语的动名词）可作主语，his wife作逻辑主语。而其他三个选项都是句子，要想做主语，句首必须用that来引导，而选项A, C, D 中均没有that，故不正确。因此正确答案为B。

20. B [译文] 边境协议签署后，两国之间的紧张气氛开始缓和。

[考点] 分词独立主格作状语。

[解析] 本题中，从形式上观察，后面是个完整的句子，此句子与前面用逗号隔开，因而从形式上可判断出，空上需要一个分词短语来做状语，依语法要求，句子主语“the tension...”同时应为“signing/signed”的逻辑主语，但显然不正确，所以应在分词前面加上其真正的逻辑主语，构成分词独立结构或独立主格，作原因状语，四个选项中，只有B符合要求，为正确答案。

Part VI. Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)

1. [答案] C。从语法角度分析，此处所填的词应为副词；再从语义角度来看，根据上文中的does not usually ... directly，只有C符合句意。

2. [答案] I。本题考查动词convince的用法，即convince sb. that …。其它动词均不符题意，故选I。

3. [答案] K。本题考查对句意的理解。此处所填的词应为形容词，且根据manufacturers（产品制造商）和storekeepers（店主）之间的关系（产品制造商必须使店主相信储存他们的产品能获利），只有K符合。

4. [答案] L。本题考查动词短语call for的意思，即要求，需要。

5. [答案] G。本题考查名词的词义辨析。customers 顾客；retailers 零售商。根据逻辑关系只有retailers才会sell his type of product，故选G。

6. [答案] O。本题考查动词短语appeal to的用法及意思。appeal to sb.在本文中是“吸引某人，使某人感兴趣”的意思。

7. [答案] B。be forced on sb.是动词短语force sth. on sb.的被动用法，意思是“勉强某人接受某事物”。

8. [答案] E。本题考查对上下文的理解。第二段说的是广告商和顾客之间的关系。“顾客是上帝。”，所以广告商必须要作调查了解顾客的需求。尽管作了很大的努力，但是顾客又是易变的。故选E。

9. [答案] D。switch sth. to…是固定搭配，意思为“转变，改变”。

10. [答案] F。persuasive，形容词，有说服力的；令人信服的。根据上下文，只有F符合句意。

Part VII. Error correction

1. 【参考答案】：way∧ind out →to

【详细解答】：不定式做目的状语，to不能省略。

2. 【参考答案】：tracking →track

【详细解答】：本句中，动词use使用的是use sth. to do sth.结构，其中的不定式有两个，用and连接，因此第二个to是不定式符号，不是介词to，其后应该用动词原形。

3. 【参考答案】：in →across

【详细解答】：句中“by building a dam in a river”意为“通过建造一座横跨在河流上的大坝”，大坝是横跨在河上，不是在水中，不能用in

4. 【参考答案】：proits →beneits

【详细解答】：beneit指通过正常的手段获得的好处，例如：She has derived much beneit from working as a librarian in the past years.

profit主要指金钱上的获利，例如sell sth. at a profit出售某物而获利。题中the beneits of technology是指使用科技带来的益处。

5. 【参考答案】：made →taken

【详细解答】：考固定搭配take care(of)

6. 【参考答案】：from →in

【详细解答】：result in 导致，带来，句中说海洋油井开采事故将导致石油溅出到海洋中，符合题意。

7. 【参考答案】：added∧the air →to

【详细解答】：add…to sth.意为给某处增添某物，符合题意

8. 【参考答案】：into →/

【详细解答】：本题考点是动词用法。enter意为进入某处时，用作及物动词，后接表示地点的名词做宾语。enter into意为参加，加入，开始从事。句义是汽车尾气进入到空气中，因此删掉into。

9. 【参考答案】：soak∧the ground →into

【详细解答】：本题考动词搭配。soak into sth进入（并穿过）某物；渗透，根据句意废旧物质会渗透到大地中，污染地表水。

10. 【参考答案】：these →new

【详细解答】：本题考察对段落的理解。这段在总结全文的基础上，指出人类在利用科技解决已有问题的同时，还必须负责地去利用技术阻止污染这样的新问题出现。上句的old和下句new 形成对比，因此改成new。

Conversation 1

W: Ben, have you chosen an elective course yet for this term?

M: No. Why?

W: You’ve got to take rock-climbing. Rock-climbing is a good chance to challenge your body and your will. We just had the irst class and it looks like it’s going to be great.

M: You think I should take rock-climbing? You’ve got to be kidding. Besides, how can they teach rock climbing

when it’s completely lat around here?

W: That’s not important. You can’t just start climbing without any training. You have to get in shape, learn how to use the ropes, the belts... There’s a lot of preparation.

M: You don’t think it’s just a little bit dangerous?

W: Not, if you know how to use the safety equipment, which is, by the way, pretty hitech. You have to learn how to use it before you do any real climbing.

M: Well, what’s the appeal? We’ll spend the whole semester studying something we don’t actually get to do.

W: We will take a climbing trip during the vacation. But that’s not the point. Climbing is not the only goal. In preparing to climb you learn patience, mental discipline and you gain physical strength, especially in your hands.

M: Oh, yeah. That’s great! Where did you stay?

W: Some friends live there, and they invited me there for as long as I want to stay.

M: So why are you back here already?

W: Oh, I have a paper I need to work on. And I just couldn’t do any serious studying at the beach.

M: I don’t blame you. So what did you do out there? I mean, besides, lying on the beach and taking a sun bath, obviously.

W: I had a walk up and down the beach and I played sand volleyball. You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand. I couldn’t get through a whole game before I had to sit down. It’s much easi er to run on wet sand near the water.

M: Did you go swimming?

W: I wanted to. But they said the water isn’t warm enough for that until a couple of months from now. So I just waded in up to my knees.

Part III. Understanding Passages

Directions: In this section, you will hear 2 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a hurt brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives only three to ive minutes.Dr. Robert J. White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should try to make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctors a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 3 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs. Then he operated on them. He made the monkey’s blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkey’s brains. When the brain temperature was 50 F., D r. White stopped the blood

to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations, the monkeys were like they were before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard.

1. How long can the brain live without blood?

2. How does Dr. White think that he can help?

3. When did Dr. White warm the blood?

Passage Two

My wife and I go to the theater whenever we can. But before we buy tickets, we like to know if the play is good or bad. When a new play opens, we usually read the newspaper to get information about it. Last week a new play opened at the theater. The newspaper story said it was very interesting so we decided to go on Saturday night.My wife took a long time to make up her mind what to wear and we left our house a little late. By the time we got to the theater, the irst act had already begun. We were sorry we missed part of the play, because the rest of it was very funny. The newspaper had been right. It was very good.After the play was over, we met some friends we hadn’t seen for a long time. They wanted to go to a night club. It had been many years since my wife and I had gone dancing, but I inally agreed. By the time we got home, it was about two o’clock in the morning. I’m not accustomed to staying out so late and I was extremely tired.When I was younger, I didn’t have the money to go out for an evening like this. Now that I can afford it, I don’t have the energy to really enjoy it.

Questions 4 to 6 are based on the passage you have just heard.

数，故谓语动词也用复数，应选C。

12. A [译文] 火腿鸡蛋对于正在长身体的男孩子来说是一顿惬意的早餐。

Band One 149

[考点] 主谓一致。

[解析] 这个句子考察主谓一致，eggs前面没有冠词，它与ham一起，被视作一个整体（火腿和鸡蛋）共同作为一顿早饭，因此，谓语动词也应该用单

数，而C项has放到空上，句子意思不通顺，故答案为A。

13. C [译文] 结果好，一切都好。

[考点] 主谓一致。

[解析] 句中主语是all，由all可知其后可用单数谓语动词，也可用复数谓语动词，当all表人时，用用复数谓语动词，表物时，用单数谓语动词，又由

其后的ends可知此处的“all”指物，但应用现在时态，故选C项。

14. A [译文] 玛丽和汤姆、彼得一样都在哈佛大学学习物理。

[考点] 主谓一致。

[解析] 根据主谓一致原则，如果主语是单数，后面跟有as well as, like, together with, including, no less than, rather than, as much as, accompanied by, be-

sides, but, except, in addition to, along with等引起的短语，其谓语动词仍

用单数形式，所以A为正确答案。

15. C [译文] 直到下了公共车，他才发现钱包被人偷了。

[考点] 倒装。

[解析] 本题考察倒装句式，当not until位于句首，担任状语时，后面的主句要

倒装。本题中，他发现钱包被偷是在下车之后，故需用一般过去时，所

以C为正确答案。

16. D [译文] 尽管她喜欢他，但有时确实生他的气。

[考点] 倒装。

[解析] 在as引导的让步状语从句中，要用倒装语序，即把表语或副词提前。若

用although引导，则不倒装。如：Tried as he was, he continued to work..

（倒装）Although he was tired, he continued to work.（正常）（虽然他

累了，但仍继续工作。）因此正确答案为D。

17. A [译文] 在任何情况下，共产党员都不能把个人利益放在首位。

[考点] 倒装。

[解析] 本句考察考生对倒装句的掌握。本句中的under no circumstances是具有否

定意义的副词词组，用于句首，且作状语，故要用倒装语序。因此选A。

18. C [译文] 在小范围内改变天气方面，人类以前从未取得过如此的成功。

[考点] 倒装。

[解析] never位于句首要倒装，并且经常与完成时连用因此选C。

19. B [译文] 正像土地、湖河、海洋之水是地球的组成部分一样，大气也是地球的一

部分。

[考点] 倒装。

[解析] 从句子结构看，本句是一个类比倒装句，其中的as…as是比较句型，连

150 Model Test (2)

词as后的句型为主谓倒装句，故它的主语为its soils…oceans, 即空缺后的

句子，而比较从句的结构与主句相同，即系表结构，因此系动词提到主

语前完成倒装。故应选B。

20. B [译文] 她是一个好女孩，从来不大声笑，也不乱发脾气。

[考点] 倒装。

[解析] 本题考察倒装结构空格前的分句含否定意义，空格所在的分句也表示否

定，后面的分句应用表示否定的nor或neither连接，应当用倒装结构，情

态动词、连系动词或助动词应放在主语之前，所以B. nor did she ever为

正确答案。

Part III. Understanding Passages

Directions: In this section, you will hear 2 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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

In many cultures, people think that love and marriage go together—like bread and

wine or meat and potatoes. They think that love is a necessary foundation for marriage

and that you should love the person you marry before you get married. However, in

other cultures, a man and woman may not even know each other before their wedding

day. Romantic love is not essential to marriage in these cultures. These people expect

that love will develop after the wedding if the marriage is a good one. Your views on

love and marriage come from your culture.

Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard.

1. What is marriage based on in some cultures?

2. In other cultures, which element do people think is not essential to marriage?

3. What could be the best title of this passage?

Passage Two

There’s a holiday next week and I can’t decide what to do. I have a lot of work to

do at home, and this would be a good chance to do it. But I’d rather not spend the holi-

day that way. I can work at home all the rest of the year.

Last year I went north to the mountains. Everything was beautiful, but it is too

cold this time of year. And it’s really too far to go for a short holiday. I have decided that

this is not a good time to go to the mountains. But I do want to go someplace.

Perhaps this would be a good chance to go to the beach. I like to go for walks along

the seashore in the warm sunshine and watch the water. It’s only about eighty miles and

I could get there in about two hours. After thinking it over, I’m sure that this is a better

time for the seashore than the mountains. I guess I’ll plan to go to the beach next week.

Oh, here’s letter from Jim. He says he is going to his house in the mountains for

Band One 155

the holiday, and he wants me to go with him. After giving it some more thought, I guess

it wasn’t really too cold last year, and perhaps it might rain at the seashore and then I

wouldn’t enjoy it at all. The mountains are only 300 miles away. I think I’ll write Jim

right now and tell him I’ll go with him.

Questions 4 to 7 are based on the passage you have just heard.

4. What did the speaker do for his holiday last year?

5. What does the speaker like about the seashore?

6. How far is it to the seashore?

7. Where did the speaker decide to go at last?

Part IV. Spot Dictation

Directions: You will hear a short passage which is printed on your test paper with some words or phrases missing. The passage will be re ad 3 times. You’d better just listen and get a general idea of it

in the irst reading. During the second reading, you are required to put the missing words on

the blanks according to what you hear. The third time reading is for you to check your writing.

Now the passage will begin.

On the fourth Thursday of November, every year, Americans celebrate Thanks-

giving Day. The day is a national holiday which is set aside each year as a time to give

thanks to God for our blessings.

Legend has it that the irst English settlers in Massachusetts started the custom.

According to the story, they gave thanks for having survived the terrible winter of 1621

and for having harvested their irst summer crop. They invited their Indian friends to

join them in a large feast to share in the bounties of the land.

Since the day is set aside for giving thanks, it has also become a traditional family

day. Large dinners with many relatives are common throughout America on this special

day.

The traditional foods of the big Thanksgiving Day meal include roast turkey, cran-

berries, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and Indian bread pudding.
