答案

36---55 BDACD BABCA BCADC CACDD

解析

虽说“无酒不成席”,同时,酒也是“穿肠毒药”,过量饮酒带来的危害也不少。每年不知有多少人因喝酒造成了意外,多少人把命断送在这酩酊酣热之际,多少健康消失在瓶罐之间。忽略了酒精的危害,我们正一步步远离健康。
36．B．common在这里表示“不稀有，到处可见”。common侧重“普通”，表示“时时发生，人所共有”，其反义词为rare。如：a common saying (俗话)，common knowledge / sense常识。normal指“正常的”、“正规的”、“常态的”, 如: the normal temperature of the human body.；ideal“理想的；完美的；空想的；想象中的 ” This dictionary is ideal — it’s exactly what I needed. 这本词典很理想，正是我所需要的。 ideal plans for making money 赚钱的空想计划；regular 指“有规律的”、“正规的”、“定期的”, 如: He kept regular hours. 他过着有规律的生活。本题易误选A。
37．D．Unfortunately，承上关系，表反意。Accidently“偶然地, 意外地”；Fortunately“幸运地”；Excitedly“兴奋地”，均不合语境。
38．A．relieve“减少；减轻”。其它为增加等意，不合语境。
39．C．mistakenly “错误地, 曲解地”。本题易误选A。
40．D．escape from“逃避”；cancel“放弃、取消”为及物动词，不与from连用。
41．B．solution“解答, 解决办法”，其它不和句意。本题易误选AC。
42．A．However“然而”so“因此”，用作连词表示结果，用法与therefore相似；besides“另外，除此以外”从句子意思，只有A合适
43．B．a heavy drinker“能喝的主”；a social drinker “酒量一般的人”；a addicted drinker“喝酒上了瘾的人”；a light drinker“不太会喝酒的人”。本题易误选C。
44．C。run the risk of doing…“冒险做…”。
45．A．eventually“最后, 终于”，可表示由某种原因导致的结果。本题易误选B。
46．B．disastrously“悲剧地、灾难性地”；extensively“广阔地”。此题不易选。
47．C．excessive（overfull），其它不和句意。本题易误选B。
48．A．cause sb./sth. to do…。make和have后不定式省略to；protect与from连用。本题易误选BC。
49．D 。above all；after all；first of all；all in all用法辨析：本题易误选A。
①above all意为“最重要的是；尤其是”，强调要引起特别注意。如：
We must work，and above all we must believe in ourselves. 我们必须工作，尤其重要的是我们必须树立信心。 ②after all意为“毕竟；终究；到底”，表示让步。如： He is certain to come. After all, he"s already accepted the invitation. 他肯定来，他毕竟已接受了邀请。 ③ first of all意为“首先”，强调次序。如： First of all, let me introduce myself to you. 首先，让我作个自我介绍。 All in all “完全地”
50．C．cut out“戒掉”="get" rid of。run out“用完”；leave out“省去, 遗漏, 不考虑”；carry out“完成, 实现, 贯彻, 执行”，均不合题义。本题易误选B。
51．C．effect“结果”，如：Alcoholic drink can have a bad effect on your body. 含酒精的饮料会对你身体有很坏的影响。；cause和reason表示原因cause指“产生结果的原因” 或“使某事发生的原因”, 如: Carelessness is the cause of his failure. 粗心是他失败的原因。
52．A。本段开头有提示。
53．C．根据前面的vision“视野”可判断选judgement。
54．D．fail to do sth.“未能做某事”。 manage to设法做到某事；try to尽力做某事；refuse to拒绝做某事，均不合语境。
55．D．本句意思为“事故就是这样发生的。” how conj. (用于间接陈述中,意义和作用与that相仿) 如：This is how we became acquainted. 我们就是这样认识的。本题易误选B。

（任务型阅读）

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

Safety in the highway is not totally out of hands. Here are four ways we can protect ourselves when we travel.

You are safer in a large car. People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people traveling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products’ safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason of the problem.

Being thrown into glass and metal car parts, or being thrown from the car, can really damage to you. That’s why safety belts should be worn. The safety belt’s main purpose is ___________if your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or object, or if it rolls over. A belt can reduce the chance of fatal injury by 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%.

Air bags are important. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal（正面的）crashes—the type of crash that kills the most drivers—when they are also wearing safety belts. Most people are demanding air bags in the cars they buy. But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes; effective as they are, they can’t take the place of safety belts.

Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don’t drink. Drunk driving is the most serious problem. Many people have realized that drunk driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are movements to strengthen penalties（处罚） for drinking and driving.
1. What is the main idea of the passage? （Please answer within 10 words.）

2. Which of the sentences in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

Although they are effective, you should still wear your safety belts while driving.

3. Please fill in the blank with proper words to make the sentence completed.（Please answer within 6 words.）

4. Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

6. What other suggestions can you offer? Why?（Please answer within 30 words.）

You may say it’s just a slip of the tongue. But as a senior official and a well-educated person, a professional who is supposed to be expert at using words shouldn’t have made such a remark like “Why did only two teachers commit suicide?” We use “only” to emphasize（强调） how small an amount is or how unimportant the matter is. When talking about death toll, such a word as “only” should never be appropriate.
Of course, it seems unfair to put all the blame on her, especially about the suicide of any individual. We should never indirectly encourage any self-destructive behaviour by making finger-pointing remarks afterwards. Any sensational accusation may help spread a very wrong message which will lead to even more copycat（模仿他人行为者）cases.
As expected, Professor Li has spoken out in her defence, saying that her remarks concerning the two suicides had been taken out of context, adding that she is a caring and warm-hearted person.
However, a seemingly “caring and warm-hearted person” without enough political sensitivity can hardly make a good government official. Mr. Tung used to be described as kind and selfless, but being kind is not enough. It is misleading to say such characteristics as kindness and devotion make somebody fit or capable.
Last time, her saying that students were the least qualified to criticize the Chief Executive had led to much criticism. Then she apologized. This time, a much more widespread furore（公众的***动） has been brought. Again, she apologized. How many times is she going to apologize before she is willing to step down?
We need a more diplomatic（外交的） person to calm teachers, students and parents alike.
1. The purpose of the passage is to _____.
A. encourage teachers to commit suicide
B. criticize professor Li

C. put stress on the official’s remarks
D. show her dissatisfaction with the senior official
2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The official used improper words in her remarks.
B. The senior official’s apologies were not sincere.
C. Nobody could comfort the people.
D. The professional tried to mislead the people to continue their suicide.
3. The author thought ________.
A. the official was very fit for her office

B. the official used the word “only” not by mistake
C. it was quite right to blame the official
D. the official won’t make such mistakes any more
4. From the passage we can infer that ______.
A. the officials’ remark led to more suicide committing
B. the official was a sensitive politician
C. the official believed the students had rights to talk about the Chief Executive
D. professor Li showed favor to the official

People say time is relative．But relative to what．I do know that sometimes time“seems”to be moving slower．Remember Christmas Eve when you were a child? It was the longest night of the year．It lasted forever! And now it seems like I just paid my bill yesterday．．．and it’s due again!
People tell me all too frequently…I need more time! Oh ，really?…Mother Teresa，Michelangelo，and Helen Keller all had 24 hours a day．Look what they did with their time!
Is it that we need to manage our time better…or our priorities(重点)?You’ve heard the expression“first things first．”The first step in understanding the power of time is to understand that it is limited．Why is it then that some people get a lot more done? We know the answer．They use their time smartly．
One day an expert on time management was speaking to a group of students and announced a quiz．He pulled out a wide-mouthed jar．Next，he placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks，one at a time , into the jat, until no more would fit．“Is it full?” he asked．”Yes，”responds the class．”Oh really?” he asked．So he took out a bucket of gravel(砂砾), which he managed to work down into the spaces between the larger rocks．“Is it full now?” he asked．
Wising up，one answered，‘"Probably not．”Sure enough, he took out a bucket of sand，which he poured into the empty spaces．”Is it full now?” he asked．”No,” reply the students confidently．So he took a glass of water and filled it in．Then he asked，“What is my point?’’
One said，‘"No matter how full your schedule is，if you try really hard，you can always fit some more things into it！”
“No，”the speaker replied，“It tells us if you don’t put the big rocks in first, you’ll never get them in at all．’’
What are the big rocks? The things you should put in to your jar first．
The rich don’t get 25 hours and the poor don’t get 23…we all get the same．Let’s use them wisely! Invest your time wisely!
49．What does the point of the quiz lie in_______.
A．How to put more things into ajar． B．How well the students learn the lesson．
C．How to get more done in limited time      D．The skill and order is very important．
50． “The big rocks”in this passage refers to_______?
A．difficult points．        B．advantages     C．minor things           D．focuses
51. How is the passage mainly developed?
A．By inferring．             B．By comparing．
C．By listing examples．        D．By giving facts．
52. The text is written mainly
A．to explain the origin of the expression “first things first”
B．to call on us to use our time in a smart manner
C．to introduce a meaningful class given by an expert
D．to tell us about the relativity and the power of time

Every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are on colors.
Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pick when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.
Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song – Mood Indigo – about the deep blue color, indigo. In the words of the song: “You ain’t been blue till you’ve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.
The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.

Quickly, the picture comes alive with hyperlinks (超链接), offering the names of the buildings, towers and street features that appear in the photo. The hyperlinks lead to information about the history, services and context of all the features in the photo. You have just hyperlinked your reality.
That might be a little unbelievable, but the technology exists and is no fevered imagination. This is not a cool small machine invented for the next James Bond movie; this is a working technology just developed by European researchers. It could be coming to a phone near you, and soon.
This, as the marketing types say, is a game changer. It develops a completely new interface (界面) that combines web-technology with the real world. It is big and fresh, but it goes much further and has much greater influence.
The development of the system is most outstanding because image recognition technology has long been pregnant with promise, but seemed to suffer from an unending labour.
Now MOBVIS has not only developed image recognition; it has also developed more applications for the technology; and it has adapted it to the world’s most popular technology: the mobile phone.
The MOBVIS system completely rewrites the rules for exploration and interaction with your physical environment. The system begins with panoramas (一连串景象). These panoramas form the basis of a city database. It can match buildings, towers, banners and even logos that appear in the panoramas.
A user simply takes a picture of the street feature, MOBVIS compares the user’s photograph to the panoramas and then identifies the buildings from the picture you take and the relevant links are returned.
Then you simply click on the links, using a touch-screen phone, and the MOBVIS system will provide information on the history, art, architecture or even the menu, if it is a restaurant, of the building in question.
67. Which is introduced in the passage?

C. A cool small machine.                                              D. An image recognition system.
68. What can we learn about the new technology?
A. It can only be put into use on mobile phones.
B. It is a little unbelievable and just a fevered imagination.
C. It has taken an unending labor to bring the technology into our lives.
D. It will encourage the users to take more pictures of the street features.
69. What is the right order of the operation of MOBVIS?

70. From the passage, we can infer that _______.
A. MOBVIS has already been widely used all over the world
B. the writer is trying to promote the sales of the MOBVIS system
C. this new technology will soon be very popular in our lives
D. the sales of mobile phones will decrease as MOBVIS comes on market
