第三部分 阅读理解 A The success story started in northern Italy towards the end of the Second World War. Leone Benetton had a bicycle rental (租赁) business in the town of Treviso. He wanted his oldest son Luciano to study and become a doctor. After Leone died, the family was poor and Luciano decided to leave school and get a job. He found work in a clothing store but soon had his own ideas and started a family clothing company producing colorful woolen sweaters for people only used to wearing dull colors. Shops selling only Benetton sweaters opened in many Italian cities and by 1974 there were stores in France, Germany and Belgium. It was clear that at this stage the success of the Benetton business lay in the strength of the family. In 1975 Luciano married the 20-year-old Marina Salomon who worked in one of his shops. After careful research, Benetton opened his first shop in the USA, in Manhattan, New York, where it attracted some very special customers including Princess Diana and Jackie Onassis. In 1982 Luciano was introduced to Oliviero Toscani, the photographer who was to change the image (形象) of Benetton forever. Although Benetton was growing very quickly, they needed an international image and for this reason in the early 1980s they decided to provide money for Formula 1 motor racing. This was followed by the advertising campaigns (广告攻势) for which the company became famous. Luciano Benetton succeeded in turning the company he started in the 1950s into one of the world's most successful businesses but he paid a high personal price. He spent so much of his life working and traveling that he lost touch with his family and friends. 36.What did Luciano Benetton's father hope he would do? A Sell clothe B Build a factor C Learn medicin D Run a bicycle busines 37.Who played an important role in the early development of Luciano's business? A His father, B His famil C Princess Dian D A photographe 38.When did Luciano Benetton start his family clothing company? A In the 1950 B In the 1960 C In the 1970 D In the 1980 39.How did Luciano Benetton make his company world famous? A By inviting famous people to his shop B By supporting research on clothin C By opening shops in New Yor D By advertising in car ravin 40.Benetton's early products were different from other ones in ______.

B People who love music, who can lose themselves in a book, or who can spend hours painting a picture of a mountain, know the deep satisfaction that can be found in art. It is not easy to express this satisfaction in words. But, in some partly mysterious (神秘的) way, works of art are among the things of highest value in our lives. A fine piece of music, a masterpiece of painting, or a first-class play has the power to hold our fullest attention. We are completely lost in it, and everything works out right. The music comes to the right close at the right time and in the right way. The play ends, not necessarily on a happy note, but in a way that seems enjoyable. As we get to know more about painting, its parts seem to belong together and to be made for one another. We see harmony (和谐) in the object and feel harmony within ourselves. When the beautiful experience has ended, we often feel uplifted and refreshed. Our eyes and ears, or our understanding of other persons and values, may be sharpened and improved. We may feel more at home with ourselves. Works of art have value for us in some such ways as these. It is this value that marks the difference between great art and simple entertainment(娱乐). A work that is fairly easy to understand takes little effort on our part. It may give us pleasure, but it does not touch our feelings or attract out attention at a deep level. 41.What is the main idea of the text? A Music has a power to catch all our attentio B Art of high values can improve us as human being C It's difficult to express our satisfaction from works of ar D Simple entertainment is easy to understand and can give us pleasur 42.One most important value from enjoying great art lies in ______. A giving all our attention to art B getting satisfaction easily from it C the harmony experienced in ourselves D being able to share with other people 43.According to the writer what kind of art may be regarded as great art? A Plays that end on a happy not B Objects that make us feel at hom C Works that move us at a deep leve D Paintings that express life experienc 44.One thing that simple entertainment may fail to give us is_____________ A a ready sense of fun B an easy touch of pleasure C a quick feel of excitement D a real understanding of life

D Dolphins are interesting animals. Working with them is fun, because you never know what they will come up with to surprise you. Remember when your mom used to cut up your food? Circe, a show dolphin, won't eat fish unless someone cuts the fins (鱼鳍) off. Diana Reiss, a scientist who worked with Circe, knew that. But one day she forgot. Reiss was training Circe to "stay at station" in front of her. Every time the dolphin swam off, Reiss gave her a time-out by backing away from the side of the pool and standing at a distance. When Circe stayed, Reiss fed her a piece of fish. But then she gave her a piece with fins by mistake. Circe looked at Reiss, spat(吐) out the fish, and swam across the pool. She took an upright position in the water and simple "stood" there. Circe was communicating (交流) loud and clear. "I felt as if I had gotten the time-out! " says Reiss. Another dolphin, Pete, enjoyed his meals of fish served up by his trainer. But a wild bird started to show up at every feeding to steal some of the dolphin's supper. Pete was definitely not happy about that. One day when Pete's trainer gave him frozen fish, Pete let them sink to the bottom of his pool. Between shows he dived down and pushed eight fish up to the surface, and managed to keep all of them afloat. For five minutes, the bird watched anxiously. Finally, the bird took the bait. When it did, Pete caught the bird's feet and pulled it underwater! Then took care of that little thief. 49.Reiss would feed Circe a fish ______. A before Circe gave a performance B when Circe followed the instruction C the moment Circe swam close to Reiss D each time Reiss left the side of the pool 50.When Circe "stood" there, what message did she try to send to Reiss?

A was trained to stay at station B often plays with food before he eats C likes to eat fish without fins D was smart in teaching the bird a lesson 52.The underlined words "took the bait" in the last paragraph means "______". A was fooled B took actions C made a decision D went out of the way

第四部分 写作 第一节 短文改错 (略)
第二节 书面表达 假定你是李明，准备毕业后去美国继续求学，想在学校BBS上发布一个英语帖子，找一个母语为英语的留学生做语言交流伙伴(language partner)。 要点： 1．找伙伴的原因； 2．自己有教授汉语的经验； 3．希望提高自己的英语口语能力； 4．需要找一名美国留学生。 注意： 1．词数100词左右，开头已为你写好。 2．请直接将书面表达写在上面。
答案及解析： 1.D[解析] 本题考查对句意的理解。前半部分的句意为“我认为基尔不是个好老师”，所以后半部分应该为“她对孩子没有多大耐心”，所以答案为D。 2.C[解析] 本题考查情态动词的用法。句意为“我要和Sue说下午餐约会的事，由于我感到不太舒服，所以今天不能和她见面了”。would有“很想”的意思，所以答案为C。 3.C[解析] 本题考查祈使句的用法。本句意思为“把钥匙给我，因为你不在开车的状态”。祈使句要使用动词原形，所以答案为C。 4.D[解析] 本题考查宾语从句的用法。hate后面缺少一个宾语。本句的意思是“我不喜欢办公室里没有电脑”。it指代了there's no computer in the office这种情况，是形式宾语，所以答案为D。 5.A[解析] 本题考查but的用法。本句的意思是“我除了最后一章节，其他的都读了”。toward“朝，向”；until“直到……为止”；beside“在旁边，在附近”。由排除法可知只有A符合句意。 6.D[解析] 本题考查定语从句的用法。此句的先行词为at the stage，表示一个地点，因此选择 where。本句意思为“约瑟夫正处在这么一个阶段，现在他只能说出单个的词而不会说完整的句子”。 7.C[解析] 本题考查词组意义辨析。look for“寻找”；set up“建立”；turn to“求助于，询问，开始，转向”；change into“把……变成，换(衣)”。句意为“因为油价越来越贵，所以很多人都开始乘坐公共交通工具，所以答案为C。 8.B[解析] 本题考查情景会话。句意为“——你能为我扶下门吗?——非常乐意。”“非常乐意”即with pleasure,这是习惯性用法，所以答案为B。A和C都是别人说感谢自己说的“不用谢”，D为别人帮自己没有起作用等时答谢时说的。 9.D[解析] 本题考查时态。此句表达的是将来的含义，A、B、C都不符合，只有D为现在进行时表将来。 10.D[解析] 本题考查连词的用法。从后半句可知“并没有产生多大的损害”，因此前后应该是转折关系，所以答案为D。 11.D[解析] 本题考查情景会话。句意为“——对不起，我是不是挡住你了，我来挪一挪。——太感谢了!”四个选项中表达感激的只有“Thank you for your kindness”。 12.B[解析] 本题考查时态。句意为“从你度假回来就一直没有看见你。玩得开心吗?”从前半句可知，假期是很久以前的事了，因此应该用过去时。 13.A[解析] 本题考查时态。句意为“从你度假回来就一直没有看见你。玩得开心吗?”从前半句可知，假期是很久以前的事了，因此应该用过去时。 14.B[解析] 本题考查宾补的用法。约翰是让自己为人理解，因此要用动词的过去分词作宾补，因此选B。 15.B[解析] 本题考查冠词的用法。本句中，spend time为短语，“花时间跟婴儿呆在一起”，a feeling指“一种感觉”，所以答案为B。 16.A[解析] 句意为“他正在讲关于这种神秘力量的时候，就在那个时候门突然开了。”when有“在那个时候，当时，其时”的意思，符合句意。while的意思是“与……同时”；then，later都是“稍后，然后”的意思，均不符题意。 17.B[解析] 此句的意思是“一个妇女手里拎着两只鹅走了进来”，carry有“拿、提”的意思，符合句意；cook“烹饪，烹调；deliver“递送，传送，运载，发言”；exam“考试，检验”，均不符合题意。 18.A[解析] 根据后面的frightened 判断，B、C排除。surprisingly“令人吃惊地”，放人句中为“令人吃惊地笑”，显然不符合句意，故A(表“紧张地”)正确。
19.C[解析] 根据文章意思，死鹅还会叫，应该是一件—十分奇怪的事情。A、B、D显然不符合文意，只有unusual的意思是“不寻常的、罕见的”，所以答案为C。 20.A[解析] 此句的意思是“一听到这个，当时我父亲脸色就苍白起来”。on/upon+动词的进行时表示“一……就”，为固定搭配，因此选A。注意：“at+名词”也常表示一听到，如：At the good news，we were very excited。 21.D[解析] [解析] 根据句意，此处应为转折。虽然父亲相信世界上有神秘力量存在，但是真的一旦出现奇怪的现象，他也是觉得难以置信，尤其是死鹅竟然会叫。 22.D[解析] 根据上下文，此句的意思是“作者忍受不了死鹅发出的声音，吓得直冒冷汗，直想夺门而逃”。remember“记得”；understand“理解”；describe“描述”。只有D符合题意。 23.B[解析] 根据上下文，作者无法忍受死鹅发出的声音，手脚冰凉，因此选cold。 24.C[解析] 根据下文，父亲甚至是跳着离开了桌子，说明他也很害怕，所以答案为C。 25.A[解析] 本句的意思是死鹅还会叫，妇女很害怕，但又舍不得，不过相信神秘力量的父亲建议把它们扔掉。throw them out“把它们扔掉”；set them free“把它们释放”；leave them behind“丢掉”；sell them out“卖掉它们”，所以答案为A。 26.B[解析] a fortune意为“一笔财富”。从上文可知，妇女家很穷苦，舍不得扔，故此，co
