All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain 【B2】______ to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, 【B3】______ they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed 【B4】______ certain signs, called letters, which could be 【B5】______ to represent those sounds, and which could be【B6】______. Those sounds, whether spoken, 【B7】______written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their【B8】______—the things they bring up before our minds.Words become【B9】______with meaning for us by experience;【B10】______the longer we live, the more certain words【B11】______to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we【B12】______, the more the number of words that mean something to us【B13】______. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal【B14】______to our minds and emotions. This【B15】______and telling use of words is what we call【B16】______style. Above all, the real poet is a master of【B17】______. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which 【B18】______their position and association can【B19】______men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will【B20】______our speech or writing silly and vulgar.（分数：40.00）(1).【B1】（分数：2.00）A.in additionB.in other words √C.in a wordD.in summary解析：解析：考查逻辑关系。

mystery与unknown同义，后一句话只是前一句的另一种表述，故应选B．in other words“换句话说”。

in addition“并且、而且”，表示递进关系；in a word，in summary表示“总之”，说明概括和总结关系。

不符合题意，故排除。

(2).【B2】（分数：2.00）A.sounds √B.gesturesC.signsD.movements解析：解析：考查名词辨析。

根据句意及常识，人会发出某种特定的声音来表达相应的思想感情，因此应选表示“声音”的A．sounds。

此外在第5个划线部分的句子中有to representthose sounds，也可推出此处用sounds。

gestures表示“手势，姿态”；signs表示“标记，符号，记号”；movements表示“运动，移动”，均不符合题意。

(3).【B3】（分数：2.00）A.such thatB.as thatC.so that √D.in that解析：解析：考查逻辑关系。

根据句意，人会发出某种特定的声音来表达相应的思想感情、行为动作和其他事情，目的是为了交流，故应选C．so that。

such that表示结果，在这个语境中不合适，这个短语的含义是“如此…以致”，as that搭配不当；in that表示原因。

均不符合题意，故排除。

(4).【B4】（分数：2.00）A.inB.withC.ofD.upon √解析：解析：考查动词短语辨析。

agree upon表示“一致同意”，符合句意。

agree in表示“想法一致”；agree with表示“持相同意见，与…符合”；agree of搭配不当，故排除。

因此选D．upon。

(5).【B5】（分数：2.00）A.speltbined √C.writtenD.copied解析：解析：考查动词辨析。

字母应先被“组合”成词才可代表原先的那些声音，B．combined表示“被联合，被结合，被组合”，符合语境。

spelt表示“被拼写”；written表示“被书写”；copied表示“被抄写”，都没有体现出字母须组合才能成词的特点，故排除。

(6).【B6】（分数：2.00）A.written down √B.handed downC.rememberedD.observed解析：解析：考查词义辨析。

A．written down表示“被写下来”，符合语境，且和下句话中的“written”呼应。

handed down表示“被传下来”；remembered表示“被记忆”；observed表示“被观察”，都不符合文意。

(7).【B7】（分数：2.00）A.andB.yetC.alsoD.or √解析：解析：考查固定搭配。

根据句意，那些声音无论是口头表达还是书面表达，我们都称之为文字。

whether…or表示“无论是…还是”，固定搭配，符合题意，故D．or为正确答案。

其他三个词都不能和whether搭配。

(8).【B8】（分数：2.00）A.functionsB.associations √C.rolesD.links解析：解析：考查名词辨析。

根据破折号后的解释“它们在我们的头脑里所提示的事物”，可推断这是词的“联想”功能，B．associations表示“联想，联系”，符合语境。

functions表示“功能，职能”；roles 表示“作用，角色”；links表示“(链的)一环；连接物”，这些都不能体现破折号之后的内容，故排除。

(9).【B9】（分数：2.00）A.filled √B.fullC.liveD.active解析：解析：考查固定搭配。

filled with表示“充满，包含"，符合语境，故A．filled正确。

full与of搭配表示“充满”；live表示“活的，现场直播的”；active表示“积极的，主动的”，均不符合题意。

(10).【B10】（分数：2.00）A.butB.orC.yetD.and √解析：解析：考查逻辑关系。

根据语境，前后两句内容是并列关系，因此选择D．and。

but和yet都是表示转折关系的连词；or是表示选择关系的连词，都不符合语境。

(11).【B11】（分数：2.00）A.reappearB.recall √C.rememberD.recollect解析：解析：考查动词辨析。

某些词能够“唤起”我们的记忆，recall sth．to sb．表示“使某人回忆起某事”，符合语境，故B．recall正确。

reappear表示“再次出现”，过去的事情只是回忆，该词用在此处不妥；remember表示“牢记，铭记”；recollect表示“回忆，想起”，均不符合题意。

(12).【B12】（分数：2.00）A.read and thinkB.read and recallC.read and learn √D.read and recite解析：解析：考查动词搭配。

根据句意，我们阅读和学习的内容越多，对我们有意义的词汇的量也越大。

C．read and learn表示“阅读和学习”，符合语境。

read and think表示“阅读和思考”：read and recall表示“阅读和回忆”；read and recite表示“阅读和背诵”，结合后半句(增加词汇量)来看，都不如read and learn好。

故排除。

(13).【B13】（分数：2.00）A.raisesB.increases √C.improvesD.emerges解析：解析：考查动词辨析。

我们阅读和学习的内容越多，对我们有意义的词汇的量也“越大”。

B．increases 表示“数量的增加”，符合语境。

raises表示“提高，增加”，是及物动词，后接宾语；improves表示“改进，改善”；emerges表示“显现，浮现”，均不符合题意，故排除。

(14).【B14】（分数：2.00）A.intensivelyB.extensivelyC.broadlyD.powerfully √解析：解析：考查副词辨析。

The scores were 15 used in conjunction with an applicant’s score on the Granduate Managent Adimssion Test, or GMAT, a standardized exam which is 16 out of 800 points, to make a decision on whether to accept him or her.Dr. Simonsoho found if the score of the previous candidate in a daily series of interviewees was 0.75 points or more higher than that ofthe one 17 that, then the score for the next applicant would 18 by an average of 0.075 points.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Populations tend to grow at an exponential rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate, take one penny and double it every day for one month. After the first week, you would have only 64 cents, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.This helps explain why the population has come on all of a sudden. It took from the beginningof human life to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That represents a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960, only thirty years, and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion, which is another billion people in only Fifteen years.World population is increasing at a rate of 9,000 per hour, 220,000 per day, 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rates, but to lower death rates as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries, such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica, and the Philippines, are doubling their populations about every twenty-one years, with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about every eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries.第21题This passage chiefly discusses ______.A.the growth of world populationB.one type of the exponential rateC.the population problem of more rapidly growing countriesD.the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth第22题According to the passage, what helps to explain why the population problem has come on all of a suddenA.The penny which doubles itself every day for one month.B.The time span of at least two million years in human history.C.An illustration of the exponential growth rate given by the author.D.The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week.第23题It took ______ for the world to increase its population from 1 billion to 4 billion.A.100 yearsB.145 yearsC.1975 yearsD.Over two million years第24题Which of the following statements is NOT trueA.World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minute.B.Lower death rates also contribute to world population growth.C.The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years.D.The United States is usually doubling its population about every 87 years.第25题When a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including ______.A.hospitals and medicinesB.schools and studentsC.food and manpower resourcesD.all of the above上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)Section ⅡReadingPart ADirections:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)With 22 years on the job, Jackie Bracey could be considered a career employee of the Internal Revenue Service. But she defies any stereotype of an over-eager agent running down a reluctant taxpayer. Instead, she spends her time defending people who owe the government money. Ms. Bracey, based in Greensboro N. C., is a taxpayer advocate, a created by Congress in 1998 as part of the kinder, gentler theme adopted by the tax collection agency. Bracey and advocates at 73 Other offices nationwide, backed by 2,100 field workers and staff, go to bat for taxpayers who are in financial straits because of something the agency has done or is about to do.Though it may seem contrary to the IRS, the advocate service not only helps taxpayers, but identifies procedural problems. The main goal, though, is for the ombudsman to step into a dispute a taxpayer is having with the IRS when it appears that something the IRS is doing, or planning, would create an undue hardship on the taxpayer. This can range from speeding up resolution of a dispute that has dragged on too long, to demanding that the IRS halt a collection action that the taxpayer can show he or sh e “is suffering or is about to suffer a significant hardship.”Taxpayer ombudsmen have been around in one form or another since 1979, says Nina Olson, the national taxpayer advocate. But they were given much more power in 1998 when Congress decided that the workers would no longer report to regional directors but to her office. While this gave them a great deal more authority, outside watchdogs say more can be done. “There is a long way to go to get an agency that feels independent and emboldened to work for taxpayers”, says Joe Seep, a vice president of the Washington-based tax-advocacy group.The taxpayers union also has complained that Congress and the Bush administration don’t seem to be taking the advocates seriously enough. Each year, the IRS group reports to Congress on the top problems that advocates see. Many of these are systemic problems that can gum up the works for both taxpayer and collector, such as a December notice from Ms. Olson that the IRS should have just one definition of a dependent child, rather than the three definitions currently used. While taxpayer advocates can help smooth things out in many cases, they cannot ignore laws.If taxpayers haven’t made legitimate claims for credits, there’s nothing the advocate can do to reverse that course. And Olson says that while taxpayers are free to use her service, they should keep in mind that it does not replace the normal appeals process and should be the last place a citizen calls upon for help, not the first. “We’re really there for.when the processes fall down,” she says. Every state has at least one taxpayer-advocate service office.第26题According to the text, the main task of tax advocates isA.to chase and collect tax from reluctant taxpayers.B.to cooperate with field workers and support staff.。
