    21.[D]?？疾閯?dòng)詞用法。由前文可知這里的variety指的是語言的種類，而說某種語言只能用speak/ use，不能用其他三項(xiàng)。注意此處是被動(dòng)語態(tài)。
    22.[B]?？疾樾稳菰~與上下文理解。same(完全)相同的，一樣的;similar相似的，近似的;equal(數(shù)值、 地位等)相等的;identical同一的，完全相同的。由上下文及常識(shí)可知這里指與新聞播音相似的情形，選[B]。
    23.[C]?？疾楣潭ù钆渑c上下文理解。由上下文不難看出，這里作者強(qiáng)調(diào)的是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)語言與非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)語言 之間的差異與正式語言和口語的差異無關(guān)，因此用have nothing to do with這一同定搭配。其余三項(xiàng)都是肯定義，都不合上下文邏輯。
    24.[A]?？疾槊~辨義。language語言;vocabulary詞匯;idiom習(xí)語，成語，風(fēng)格;word單詞。由于受
    colloquial(口語的)修飾，且后一分句中它又修飾指語言種類的variants(變體)，故此處也用language。
    25.[B]。考查副詞與上下文理解。由下文中的developed(發(fā)展)及整個(gè)句意可知這里涉及的是英語的
    歷史，因此選historically(歷，從歷史來說)。其余三項(xiàng)都不合邏輯。
    26.[D]。考查名詞與上下文理解。由上下文可知，這里指的是倫敦英語這種方言，因此選dialect(方言)。accent口音;pronunciation發(fā)音;spellin9拼寫。而下文中緊跟著又出現(xiàn)了dialect一詞，可以幫助確定答案。
    27.[A]。考查動(dòng)詞辨義。prefer更喜歡;learn學(xué)習(xí);praise表揚(yáng);create創(chuàng)造。由文意與常識(shí)可知，受過
    教育的人應(yīng)當(dāng)是“更喜歡”說倫敦英語，因此選[A]。
    28.[C]?？疾榻樵~用法。to引出的是方向和對(duì)象，in表示的是空間位置、途徑等，as指“作為”，表達(dá)的是形式，for引出對(duì)象和目的。由上下文與常識(shí)可知，這里指?jìng)惗胤窖匝葑兂闪艘环N標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語，表示的是一種形式，因此選[C]。
    29.[B]。考查名詞辨義與上下文理解。由上文中的norrn與本句中的also即可確定應(yīng)選norm(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，規(guī)范)。basis基礎(chǔ);rule規(guī)則;variety,種類。
    30.[D]?？疾樯舷挛睦斫?。由于后文談?wù)摰亩际菢?biāo)準(zhǔn)英語的問題，因此根據(jù)邏輯與上下文文意可知此處也應(yīng)用standard來修飾。
    31.[C]?？疾楦痹~與上下文理解。由后文中描述標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語的形容詞powerful及常識(shí)可知這里作者表達(dá)的應(yīng)是肯定含義，即世界各地標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語的語法、詞匯等都是相同的，岡此選much。[A]、[D]是否定副詞;[B]中的very不用于修飾the same。
    32.[A]。考查名詞辨義與上下文理解。由上題分析可知作者指的是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語在語法等上的相同性，因此此處應(yīng)是說各地之間的“差異”很小，選variation(差異，變化)。standardization標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化;unification統(tǒng)一，聯(lián)合;transformation改變，改觀。
    33.[C]?？疾樯舷挛年P(guān)系。由上下文可知，此處所說幾種英語在語法和詞匯上差別不大，應(yīng)當(dāng)是前文所說各地英語差異很小的一種結(jié)果，因此選so that。while表輕微轉(zhuǎn)折或者同時(shí)，but表示轉(zhuǎn)折，nevertheless為正式用語，也表轉(zhuǎn)折或者讓步，它們都不合句意邏輯。
    34.[D]?？疾樯舷挛睦斫?。參見上題分析。本題由常識(shí)也可推知答案。注意[C]雖然也表否定，但它是絕對(duì)否定，明顯不符合事實(shí)。
    35.[B]。考查固定搭配。as/so far as…be concerned為固定搭配，指“就…而言，從…來說”。其余三
    項(xiàng)都不用在此結(jié)構(gòu)中。
    36.[B]。考查名詞辨義與上下文理解。press媒體，按，壓，繁重;pressure壓力;power權(quán)力，力量;force迫使，力量。由于后面一句緊跟著出現(xiàn)了pressure on這一搭配，因此此處也選pressure。
    37.[A]?？疾閯?dòng)詞辨義與上下文理解。由句意不難看出，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語的強(qiáng)大力量應(yīng)當(dāng)是使一些英國方言“失去”了生命力(即用這些方言的人越來越少)，因此選[A]。gain獲得;miss錯(cuò)過;get得到。它們都不對(duì)。
    38.[C]。考查動(dòng)詞辨義。abandon丟棄;change改變;standardize使標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化;reform改革。由于全文論述的都是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語的內(nèi)容，此處當(dāng)然應(yīng)當(dāng)是說方言在壓力之下標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化，從而變成標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語那樣，[C]最恰當(dāng)。
    39.[A]?？疾橄薅ㄔ~。由于修飾單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞situation(情形)，且前文說明的是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語兩個(gè)方面的影響，因此應(yīng)選形容詞latter(后者的)。later和late都可作形容詞或者副詞，都指時(shí)間，前者指“后來(的)”，后者指“遲(的)，晚(的)”;lately是副詞，指“近來，最近”。
    40.[B]。考查固定搭配。(be)in the way在路中，擋路，妨礙;(be)under way在進(jìn)行中，在實(shí)施中(也拼作underway);(be)out of way在路邊，在一邊，得以解決(way前一般要用冠詞或者sb.’S限定);all the way完全地。由上下文文意可知只能選[B]。 　　Section III Reading Comprehension
    Part A
    Text 3
    51.[A]。主旨題。通讀全文可知，文章討論的主要是青少年階段政治觀念的形成，從政治事實(shí)、政治知識(shí)、社會(huì)機(jī)構(gòu)(如學(xué)校、教會(huì)等)等方面論述了政治觀念形成所必需的幾種認(rèn)知技能，因此本題答案是[A]。
    52.[D]。細(xì)節(jié)題。答案見于第二段第四句。[A]、[B]兩項(xiàng)都可根據(jù)常識(shí)排除;[C]與最后一句不符。
    53.[C]。詞義推測(cè)題。由這一短語后表示舉例的for example及后文的意思可知，“理解共識(shí)”指的就是社會(huì)對(duì)諸如國家和公民之間相互的正當(dāng)需求、政府與社會(huì)機(jī)構(gòu)之間的正常關(guān)系等在理解上的一種認(rèn)識(shí)，因此答案是[C]。
    54.[B]。分析推理題。首先，文章第二段第四旬將學(xué)校和教會(huì)作為組成政治體系的一個(gè)例子;然后，在該段第五、六句指出，青少年幼稚的政治知識(shí)源自對(duì)這一政治體系的不完全理解。由此可以推知，作者認(rèn)為學(xué)校本身就是社會(huì)政治體系中的組成部分，學(xué)生從中可以學(xué)會(huì)理解這一體系，故選[B]。
    55.[A]。分析推理題。本題較難，需要考生在理解全文的基礎(chǔ)上對(duì)作者論述的結(jié)構(gòu)和思路進(jìn)行把握。文章首先指出快速獲得政治知識(shí)對(duì)于青少年政治理念的形成有促進(jìn)作用(第二段)，然后指出不能過分強(qiáng)調(diào)這一重要性(第三段)，因此本題無疑應(yīng)選[A]。
    Text 4
    56.[B]。細(xì)節(jié)題。本題對(duì)應(yīng)的信息位于短文第一句：....has always been tough，but this year…it had reached a new level(進(jìn)入國內(nèi)一流私立學(xué)校的競(jìng)爭一向很激烈，但今年伊莉莎白發(fā)現(xiàn)這種狀況又升級(jí)了)，這顯然是說今年進(jìn)入私立學(xué)校比往年更難，因此答案是[B]。該句中的tough對(duì)應(yīng)于選項(xiàng)中的hard，而 reach a new level則對(duì)應(yīng)于選項(xiàng)中所用的比較級(jí)。其余三項(xiàng)都與原文不符，也無法由短文合理推知。
    57.[D]。詞句理解題。理解這一句的關(guān)鍵是看Marilyn這個(gè)人是在什么樣的情況下說這句話的，即要看引語的前一句....an oversupplyof applicants，higher rejection rates(申請(qǐng)者過多，而拒收率也更高)。因此直接引語肯定是補(bǔ)充說明或者迸一步闡述這種情況的。另外，這一句中的two years down the road指的是從現(xiàn)在開始的兩年后，含有“提前”之意;而文章主旨談?wù)摰氖侨雽W(xué)的問題，故spots顯然是指能入學(xué)的名額。結(jié)合這些方面即可知正確答案是[D]。其余三項(xiàng)中，[A]中的parking space指“停車位”，[B]中的use of the place指“使用這個(gè)地方”，都屬于曲解引語中spots一詞的意思;而[B]、[C]兩項(xiàng)中的two years ago(兩年前)則是曲解了這一句中的two years down the road一處。
    58.[C]。分析推理題。題目對(duì)應(yīng)的信息位于第四段。仔細(xì)閱讀該段并結(jié)合短文主旨和常識(shí)即不難推知，學(xué)校可以挑剔地選擇生源的原因當(dāng)然是學(xué)生過多，而學(xué)校過少，即[C]項(xiàng)所表達(dá)的意思。事實(shí)上，該段第二句指出：Schools know…when children are so young(學(xué)校也知道，孩子們這么小，要從中挑出一個(gè)班來并非易事)，而[A]項(xiàng)中用的則是have no reliable methods(沒有可靠的辦法)，明顯與原文不符;而[B]項(xiàng)雖對(duì)應(yīng)于該段倒數(shù)第二句(They also want a diverse mix)，但選項(xiàng)中的boys and girls顯然是原文中沒有的;至于[D]項(xiàng)，意思是“更愿意招收親戚的孩子”，在原文中沒有提及，根據(jù)常識(shí)也可排除。
    59.[D]。分析推理題。推斷的依據(jù)是短文最后一段。該段第一句中的worst一詞表明了作者的態(tài)度，即反對(duì)pressure preschoolers to perform(強(qiáng)迫學(xué)齡前孩子完成任務(wù))，而后一句則引述專家的話提出相應(yīng)的建議。所以，作者是反對(duì)給孩子們施加不當(dāng)?shù)膲毫Φ模收_答案是[D]?？忌诖艘⒁?，parents should take a breath and look for alternatives的意思是“家長們應(yīng)當(dāng)放松下來，尋求別的辦法”。
    60.[A]。主旨題。通讀全文不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，短文論述的主要是美國由于學(xué)生多而學(xué)校少，學(xué)齡前兒童人學(xué)困難的問題。短文不但說明了現(xiàn)狀、分析了原因，還給出了解決這一問題的建議。因此文章的主旨無疑就是“入學(xué)難困擾著學(xué)齡前兒童及其父母”。對(duì)照選項(xiàng)可知，[A]最能概括這一主旨，故最適合作短文標(biāo)題。其余三項(xiàng)中，[B]項(xiàng)指“私立學(xué)校的繁榮”，[C]項(xiàng)指“公立學(xué)校存在的問題”，它們都與短文主旨相去甚遠(yuǎn);而[D]項(xiàng)指“美國人首要的關(guān)注點(diǎn)”，貌似正確，但它所指太泛，并且由常識(shí)可知學(xué)齡前兒童入學(xué)難并非是所有美國人都關(guān)注。
    Part B
    61.一項(xiàng)為時(shí)一個(gè)月的調(diào)查表明，在2001年9月11日世貿(mào)中心的恐怖襲擊發(fā)生后的5～8周中,曼哈頓居民中吸煙、酗酒或大麻的吸食量都增加了。
    在句子結(jié)構(gòu)上，本題并不很復(fù)雜，它含有一個(gè)賓語從句that smoking…2001，其中又含有一個(gè)定語從句which took place…2001修飾the terrorist attacks。但句中含有多個(gè)介詞結(jié)構(gòu)，影響考生理解。among residents of Manhattan和during the five…兩個(gè)介詞結(jié)構(gòu)分別作賓語從句的地點(diǎn)和時(shí)間狀語，而after后的介詞結(jié)構(gòu)則是作the five to eight weeks的后置定語。on the World Trade Center則是修飾the terrorist attacks。在翻譯時(shí)要進(jìn)行適當(dāng)?shù)恼Z序調(diào)整，使之合乎中文表達(dá)習(xí)慣。
    62.調(diào)查者通過隨機(jī)撥打紐約市內(nèi)電話找到參與調(diào)查的人，并篩選出住在世貿(mào)中心附近地區(qū)的曼哈頓居 民作為潛在的問卷受查人。
    在句子結(jié)構(gòu)上，本句不含從句，只包括兩個(gè)并列謂語(并列句)。考生要注意的是，by randomly…
    phone numbers是前一個(gè)謂語的方式狀語，而living in areas…則是第二個(gè)并列謂語部分中residents的分詞 后置定語。詞匯方面，考生應(yīng)注意screen…for…指“篩選”。
    63.那些說自己吸煙量或大麻使用量增加的人有可能患上創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙(PTSD)和憂郁癥，而那些說 自己喝酒量增加的人則更有可能只患上憂郁癥。
    本句是一個(gè)復(fù)句，前后兩個(gè)分句之間為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。在兩個(gè)分句中各含有一個(gè)定語從句修飾people，分別 說明兩種接受調(diào)查的人。對(duì)于這種不太長的一重定語從句，翻譯時(shí)簡單處理成漢語中的定語即可，難度不大。詞匯方面，考生應(yīng)注意PTSD指的是“創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙(癥)”，屬于專業(yè)術(shù)語，如果翻譯時(shí)把握不大，可以 直接保留而不用翻譯。
    64.那些住得離世貿(mào)中心較近的人的吸煙量更有可能增加，但一些其他因素，如被迫流離失所、在襲擊中 遭受財(cái)產(chǎn)損失或者參與救援工作則并非總會(huì)導(dǎo)致違禁品使用量增加。
    本題由兩個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的分句構(gòu)成。在前一分句中含有一個(gè)定語從句(who were living closer to the World TrMe Center)，后一分句中應(yīng)注意主語后有一個(gè)for example引出的插入語。詞匯方面，displace在本 句中不是“處置，替代”之意，而是“使離開，使流亡”;substance use指的是“使用(違禁)物品”。
    65.人口統(tǒng)計(jì)方面的因素，如年齡、婚姻狀況和收入對(duì)人們?cè)凇?·11”事件后是否會(huì)增加違禁品使用量這 方面似乎起著更為關(guān)鍵的作用。
    在句子結(jié)構(gòu)上，本題要注意的是if引導(dǎo)的不是條件狀語從句，而是determinin9的賓語從句。此外，such as....表列舉，補(bǔ)充說明句子主語Demographic factors。在詞匯上，demographic指“(人口)統(tǒng)計(jì)上的”;play a more critical role in指“在…中起著更為關(guān)鍵的作用”，是一個(gè)固定搭配。 　　Section IV Writing
    66.寫作要點(diǎn)：
    (i)這是一篇中文提綱和表格相結(jié)合的寫作題。必須包含提綱所給的所有內(nèi)容或所有要點(diǎn)信息，但不能照提綱翻譯或者照搬提綱。

    參考范文：
    As is shown in the table statistics，dramatic changes have taken place in family expenses in the city of Shanghai between l 990 and 2007.The most obvious change is in food and clothing，which has dropped bv 48%，while those on recreation，education and health care have increased respectively by 5%，l6%and l0%.Expenses on other things keep rising from l7%in l990 to 35%in 2007.
    So what are actually behind these changes?Economic growth comes first.It increases people’S income，which in turn lowers the percentage of the total income spent on food and clothing.Then comes the change of people’S mind.Well fed and dressed，they begin to pay more attention to 1.ecreation and educatiora Moreover，they are more aware of the importance of their health.Hence we have the increased expenses on recreation，education and health.
    Besides，the government gradually stopped offering free housing to its citizens.People had to save a large proportion of their money for housin9.That’S partly why the expenses for“others”doubled.
    In conclusion，the changes reflect the development of the city and indicate that people in China are
    enjoying more of their lives.
