Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT AWhen the sun is up in Amsterdam, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on theAmstel River. You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a watertaxi.But when the sun goes down, the partying begins. In the big clubs and in coffee shops,tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke.Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam. And they're allwithin a short cab ride of each other.For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events. Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there. And there is theRoyal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall.But as evening descends on Dam Square so do the party-seekers. Hip pop or funk musicbegins blaring from Club Paradiso and Club Melkweg. These are two of the most popular clubs inEurope. So if you come, be ready to dance. The clubs don't shut down until 4 am.And while you are there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city. Don'tworry about getting lost. Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdamspeak English and are happy to help you with directions.And you'll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles. They rent for US$17 to $20 for a whole day.Amsterdam also has a good canal system. From anywhere between U852 and $9.50, you can use the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise the "Venice of the North".You can take in the picturesque canal house architecture: The rows of neat, narrow four-story dwellings of brownstone withlarge windows are well worth seeing. Many of them are several centuries old.You might also want to jump out of the canal bus at the Museum Quarter and start walking.Masterpieces by Dutch artists such as Rembrandt, Bruegel, Van Gogh and others are on display atthe Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandt House and others.The city has an appreciation of its historic past. One place to visit is the Anne Frank House in Nine Streets. It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II. Visitors can view Anne's original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years.81. At the beginning of the passage, the author indicates thatA. Amsterdam is generally known as a quiet city.B. parties go on all day long in Amsterdam,C. Amsterdam presents two different pictures.D. Amsterdam attracts many daytime visitors.82. Which tourist attraction is cited for elaboration in Paragraphs Four and Five?A. Royal Palace.B. Dam Square.C. Club Paradiso.D. Magna Plaza.83. According to the passage, the local people have all the following characteristics EXCEPTA. they are party goers.B. they show hospitality.C. they can speak English.D. they are fond of cycling.84. Which of the following adjectives can best describe Amsterdam as a tourist city?A. Modern.B. Delightful.C. Quiet.D. Historic.TEXT BIn an article some Chinese scholars are described as being "tantalized by the mysteriousdragon bone hieroglyphics." Tantalized is one of many English words that have their origins inmyths and legends of the past (in this case, Greek and Roman ones). The meaning of the verb tantalize is a very particular one: "to promise or show something desirable to a person and then take it away; to tease by arousing hope." Many (but not all) English dictionaries give you a brief indication of a word's origins in brackets before or after the explanation of the meaning. For tantalize the following explanation is given: [> Tantalus]. This means that you should look up the name Tantalus to find out the word's origins, and if you do, you will find out that in Greek mythology, Tantalus was a king who was punished in the lower world with eternal hunger and thirst; he was put up to his chin in water that always moved away when he tried to drink it and with fruit on branches above him placed just a little bit out of his reach. Can you see why his name was changed into a verb meaning "to tease or torment by arousing desire"?Another example is the word siren, familiar to us as the mechanical device that makes such an alarming sound when police cars, ambulances, or fire engines approach. This word also has itsorigins in Greek mythology. The traveler Odysseus (Ulysses to the Romans) made his men plugtheir ears so that they wouldn't hear the dangerous voices of the sirens, creatures who were halfbird and half woman and who lured sailors to their deaths on sharp rocks. So the word came to beassociated both with a loud sound and with danger!When someone speaks of a "jovial mood" or a "herculean effort," he or she is using wordswith origins in mythology. Look these words up to find their meaning and relationship to myths.Many common words, such as the names for the days of the week and the months of the year, also come from mythology. Wednesday derives from the ancient Norse king of the gods, Woden,and Thursday was originally Thor's day, in honour of Thor, the god of thunder. As a matter of fact, all the planets, except the one we live on, bear names that come from Roman mythology, including the planet that is farthest away from the sun and for that reason was called after the Roman god of the dead. This god has also given his name to one of the chemical elements.Several other elements have names that come from mythology, too.It seems that myths and legends live on in the English language.85. The purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph One is ____.A. to describe the work of some Chinese scholars.B. to arouse readers' interest in hieroglyphics.C. to lead readers onto the main theme.D. to link the preceding part to the present one.86. We learn from the passage, all English dictionaries include _____.A. legends.B. mythology.C. word origins.D. word definitions.87. The example of tantalize is to show _____.A. how the word came into existence.B. how Tantalus was punished in the lower world.C. how all English dictionaries show word origins.D. how the meaning of the word changed over the years.88. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT have origins in myths orlegends?A. Jovial.B. Wednesday.C. Earth.D. March.89. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Greek and Roman Mythology in Language.B. Mythological Origins of English Words.C. Historical Changes in Word Meanings.D. Mythology and Common Words.TEXT CMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. l'm anAmerican born and raised, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren't quite ready toletme in yet."Please wait in here, Ms Abujaber," the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happenedrecently in Canada when I'd flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held mefor 45 minutes. T oday we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was startled that I was being sent "in back" once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, "Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who's on our wanted list. We're going to have to check you out with Washington.""How long will it take?""Hard to say ... a few minutes," he said. "We'll call you when we're ready for you."After an hour, Washington still hadn't decided anything about me. "Isn't this computerized?"I asked at the counter. "Can't you just look me up?"Just a few more minutes, they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. "No phones!" he said. "For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.""I'm just a university professor," I said. My voice came out in a squeak."Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day."I put my phone away.My husband and 1 were getting hungry and tired. Wholefamilies had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, even a flightattendant.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: "I'm an American citizen; a novelist; lprobably teach English literature to your children." Or would that all be counted against me?After two hours in detention, I was approached by one of the officers. "You're free to go," he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved, we were still in shock.Then we leaped to our feet."Oh, one more thing." He handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it. "If youweren't happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.""Will they respond?" I asked."I don't know --- I don't know of anyone who's ever written to them before." Then he added, "By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you travel internationally.""What can I do to keep it from happening again?"He smiled the empty smile we'd seen all day. "Absolutely nothing."After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I've heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn't stick me in what he called "the ethnic ghetto" --- a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone's personal and professional identity -justlike the town you're born in and the place where you're raised.Like my father, I'll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole newperspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.90. The author was held at the airport because _____.。

Tanta‎l ized‎is one of many Engli‎s h words‎that have their‎origi‎n s inmyths‎and legen‎d s of the past (in this case, Greek‎and Roman‎ones). The meani‎n g of the verb tanta‎l ize is a very parti‎c ular‎one: "to promi‎s e or show somet‎h ing desir‎a ble to a perso‎n andthentake it away; to tease‎by arous‎i ng hope." Many (but not all) Engli‎s h dicti‎o nari‎e s give you a brief‎indic‎a tion‎of a word's origi‎n s in brack‎e ts befor‎e or after‎the expla‎n atio‎n of the meani‎n g. For tanta‎l ize the follo‎w ing expla‎n atio‎n is given‎: [> Tanta‎l us]. This means‎that you shoul‎d look up the name Tanta‎l us to find out the word's origi‎n s, and if you do, you will find out that in Greek‎mytho‎l ogy, Tanta‎l us was a king who was punis‎h ed in the lower‎world‎with etern‎a l hunge‎r and thirs‎t; he was put up to his chin in water‎that alway‎s moved‎away when he tried‎to drink‎it and with fruit‎on branc‎h es above‎him place‎d just a littl‎e bit out of his reach‎. Can you see why his name was chang‎e d into a verb meani‎n g "to tease‎or torme‎n t by arous‎i ng desir‎e"?Anoth‎e r examp‎l e is the word siren‎, famil‎i ar to us as the mecha‎n ical‎devic‎e that makes‎such an alarm‎i ng sound‎when polic‎e cars, ambul‎a nces‎, or fire engin‎e s appro‎a ch. This word also has itsorigi‎n s in Greek‎mytho‎l ogy. The trave‎l er Odyss‎e us (Ulyss‎e s to the Roman‎s) made his men plugtheir‎ears so that they would‎n't hear the dange‎r ous voice‎s of the siren‎s, creat‎u res who were halfbird and half woman‎and who lured‎sailo‎r s to their‎death‎s on sharp‎rocks‎. So the word came to beassoc‎i ated‎both with a loud sound‎and with dange‎r!When someo‎n e speak‎s of a "jovia‎l mood" or a "hercu‎l ean effor‎t," he or she is using‎words‎with origi‎n s in mytho‎l ogy. Look these‎words‎up to find their‎meani‎n g and relat‎i onsh‎i p to myths‎.Many commo‎n words‎, such as the names‎for the days of the week and the month‎s of the year, also come from mytho‎l ogy. Wedne‎s day deriv‎e s from the ancie‎n t Norse‎king of the gods, Woden‎,and Thurs‎d ay was origi‎n ally‎Thor's day, in honou‎r of Thor, the god of thund‎e r. As a matte‎r of fact, all the plane‎t s, excep‎t the one we live on, bear names‎that come from Roman‎mytho‎l ogy, inclu‎d ing the plane‎t that is farth‎e st away from the sun and for that reaso‎n was calle‎d after‎the Roman‎god of the dead. This god has also given‎his name to one of the chemi‎c al eleme‎n ts.Sever‎a l other‎eleme‎n ts have names‎that come from mytho‎l ogy, too.It seems‎that myths‎and legen‎d s live on in the Engli‎s h langu‎a ge.85.

考查的是限定词位置的用法。

英语中的限定词可分为前位限定词、中位限定词和后位限定词,一个名词前的限定词只能按照前位、中位、后位的顺序出现,其中两个前位或两个中位词不能同时出现在同一个名词前。

many是后位限定词,而his是中位限定词,与限定词排序规则有悖,故D为答案。

A选项中all是前位,his是中位,符合规则;B中half是前位,his是中位限定词;C中her是中位,few是后位限定词。

61. A. 对Who told the news to the teacher的标准回答是Jim did,即Jim did it的省略句。

此外,还可以用其他代词指代问句中出现的内容,so和that都可以指代前文中提到的内容,而this通常用于指代下文内容。

63. D. 本题考查一般现在时的用法。

在书报的标题、球赛现场报导、小说著作等的情况介绍常用一般现在时。

如:The Bible says love of money is the root of all evil.64. A. 考查倍数表达法。

本题考查的就是倍数表达法中较为常见的一种:主语+谓语+倍数+the size/amount/length/width/depth/weight等抽象名词+of…:The earth is 49 times the size of the moon. 其他几种常见的倍数表达法有:主语+谓语+倍数+as+adj/adv+as;主语+谓语+倍数+adj/adv比较级+than;65. B. 考查情态动词的用法。

must作为情态动词除了表示命令、必须等意思之外,还有表示肯定推测,可能会怎么样的意思。

A:你必须离开;C:你必须8点前到这儿;D:你必须按时完成阅读作业。

如上三个意思均为“肯定、必须”。

B:你一定感到很累了。

表示肯定的判断,表示可能性,故选B。

【09年】62. "It seems that she was there at the conference." The sentence means thatA. she seems to be there at the conference.B. she seemed to be there at the conference.C. she seems to have been there at the conference.D. she seemed to being there at the conference.63.

Which of the following words can NOT be used to complete "We've seen the film "?A. beforeB. recentlyC. latelyD. yet51 答案:D. 本题为句意理解题。

句中的斜体字部分from excessive reading是眼睛红的原因,故选D。

句意:由于看书太多,她的眼睛红了。

Die fromFor the sake of : for the purpose ofAs well as: 表示比较For:in spite of/despite56. 答案. C. 本题为句意表达题。

不定代词each在句中可以作主语、宾语、定于和同位语,用作同位语时,each可以用在代词之后。

选项A、B、D均符合语法要求,故选C。

Each they改为each of them61 答案. D. 本题为句子成分题。

在It’s no use waiting for her中,it为形式主语,句子真正的主语是动名词短语waiting for her,故选D。

A意为“宾语”,B意为“状语”,C意为“补语”。

62答案. C. 考查限定词排序。

限定词的相互搭配关系为:前位+中位+后位。

四个选项中,只有C中的Many his为“后位+中位”,不符合限定词的相互搭配关系,故选C。

63.答案. A. 本题为句子成分题。

宾语后面加上一个词或一个短语用来对宾语的特征、状态等情况进行补充说明,这个成分称之为宾语补足语。

它和前面的宾语一起形成“复合宾语”,宾语和宾语补足语之间存在一种逻辑上的主谓关系。

选项A中的manager和宾语John之间存在逻辑主谓关系,故为宾语补足语。

而选项B、C、D中的动词后面都是双宾语。

64.答案. D. 本题为句意表达题,考查的是副词作状语的用法。

选项D中的yet用于否定句和疑问句,而原句为陈述句,故选D。
