三、阅读理解

The United States will introduce a new and comprehensive exam for students who seek to study in American and other English-speaking countries, Xinhua News Agency reported from New York.

The exam, which stands for a great change from the current English level test, was disclosed by Theresa Chang Wei Jen, associate director of the International Service of the US College Board, America’s leading educational organization.

The Advanced Placement International English Language (APIEL) will be offered for the first time throughout the world on May 10, 2002, said Jen.

However, the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams, such as the TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language), the GRE(Graduate Record Examination), or the IELTS(International English Language Testing System).

“I have never heard of such a test and I would prefer the IELTS if I need another exam,” said Xu Jingyan, a graduating student from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, who wants to study in England and has already taken the TOEFL.

Most of Xu’s classmates have never heard of the APIEL. “The APIEL is designed for international students who wish to get university studies in English-speaking countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia.” said Jen.

The APIEL has been adopted, said Jen, because the TOEFL can no longer accurately reflect the abilities of students of using the English language comprehensively in an academic environment. Xinhua reported that a fairly large number of foreign students who earned high scores in TOEFL exam turned out to be very ordinary educational performers after admission.

Compared with the TOEFL, the APIEL measures a student’s ability to read, write, speak and understand English through testing his or her skills in listening comprehension, speaking with accuracy and resourcefulness, and writing with clarity and fluency, Jen said.

1. The United States will introduce a new exam because _______.

A. more and more students want to get further education in the USA

B. the Chinese people pay special attention to English studies with China’s entry into the WTO

C. the already existing exam systems seem to be far from perfect

D. it will bring the US government quite a lot of money

2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the selection？

A. It will take quite a period of time for people to accept the APIEL.

B. The TOEFL is more popular with the Chinese than the IELTS.

C. A student will have to take the APIEL if he or she wants to study in English-speaking countries from 2002.

D. Chinese students will prefer the IELTS rather than the APIEL even in the future.

3. The underlined word current in the second paragraph means _______.

A. modern B. present C. standard D. formal

4. Please decide which of the following would be the best title for this news report.

A. The Key to English-speaking Countries

B. The Four Skills in Learning English

C. TOEFL, IELTS and GRE to be Out of Date

D. New Exam Designed for Students

四、七选五

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear? What do you think of that? Fashionable? Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look. ____1______

The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came after a class trip. One day, he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet. _____2______

But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster's request will limit students' freedom— or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.

_____3____ “We do not want to kick fashion out,” the headmaster explained, “but extremes (极端) of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.

_____4____ Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. ______5_______ “I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans,” said Sarah Lattanzi, “in winter, when dressed like that, it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”

A. But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.

B. A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.

C. He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.

D. Most students have simply ignored the request.

E. Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request, simply for practical reasons.

F. Let us see that Italian students react differently to schools’ requests.

G. Schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes.

一、单项选择

1. C。容易误选A，受空格前逗号的影响，误认为这是一个非限制性定语从句。其实，整个句子为强调句，被强调成分为lack of money, not of effort。

2. A。从题意看，这位老工人“坚持认为一种观点”和“坚决要求做某件事”。因此，涉及insist的两种不同用法。“老工人认为他没有老”，其谓语用正常时态；“应该再次被派往工作岗位”，其谓语要用(should) do形式。

3. A。语意为：她的书摆满了餐桌，这就意味着我们必须在厨房吃饭了。which引导的是非限制性定语从句，代替主句所表达的整个内容。故选A项。

4. B。This is the first time后面的从句中用现在完成时；It's time后面的从句中用一般过去时。

5. C。当从句的主语和主句的主语相同时，且从句的谓语是be动词时，可以省略从句主语和be动词，本句补全应该为：Though (they were) lacking...

6. B。本题考查with的复合结构，即“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语”。本题用不定式做宾补表示将来的动作。句意：在最后一班公交车离开的前五分钟，我们到了车站。

7. D。考查部分否定与全部否定。A、B、C均为部分否定，D项为全部否定，据题意选D。

8. B。as...as表示同级比较。其中第一个 as是副词，后接“adj.＋a＋n”。

9. D。在“it＋be＋一段时间＋before/after/since＋从句”句型中，before从句中的动作经过一段时间后才会实现；after从句中的动作发生后已经过去了一段时间；since从句中的动作完成后到现在已经有一段时间了。结合题意可知，答案为D。

10. D。句意：先生，你是开车去机场吗？如果你能载我一程，我将非常感激。根据语意可知，it为形式宾语，代替真正的宾语if you could give me a lift。

11. C。second to 意为“次于；亚于”。

12.B。句中 look down意为“看上去很失落”，而且由 better luck next time可知选B。

13.A。would rather (not)＋have done 意为“宁愿(未)做过某事”，表示后悔或遗憾。

14. C。句意：那座桥坍塌时，正巧有好几辆汽车正在上面行驶。happen to do中不定式根据语境可选择不同的形式。

15. C。第一空因fun为不可数名词，所以不用冠词；第二空get an early start早早出发，固定用法。

二、完形填空

12. B 名词辨析。A安宁，宁静；B责任；C美丽；D权利；那天晚上我睡得非常好，一种安宁的感觉传遍我全身，我不再感觉孤单了。

13. C 名词辨析。A担忧；B满意；C危险；D惊讶；我的担忧、关心似乎都没有意义了，都被奶奶的话代替了。

20. D 名词辨析。A机会；B方法；C演讲；D建议；奶奶给了人生中最好的建议。

三、阅读理解

全文介绍了APIEL与传统英语测试对比所显出的新功能。

1. C。推断题。根据 TOFEL can no longer accurately reflect the abilities of students of using the English language comprehensively in an academic environment 可知原来的测试系统有局限性，由此可知 C 为正确答案。

2. A。细节题。阅读全文可知B、C、D与原文不符，再根据 …the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams 得知 APIEL 作为新的测试系统不是短时间就能为人们所接受，故答案选 A。

3. B。词义猜测题。根据第 1 行 …a new and comprehensive exam 和第 4 段…it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity of other already existing exams 可知 current 意思为“现实的，目前的”，故知 B 为正确答案。

4. D。主旨题。阅读全文可知由于传统测试不能适应新形势对学生的要求，从而设计了一种新的测试系统 —— APIEL，故选 D。

四、七选五

1. A。本空承接上文而来，上文提出一个问题：对“low trousers”的看法。并且很多青少年喜欢这样穿，如果不起“波澜”的话，这个问题就不会引起下文了，因此接一句：但是这个问题最近成为争论的焦点。

2. C。本空依然承接上文。本段落的叙述主语分别为the headmaster, his request, he，空白句继续讲“校长……”。

3. B。本句为段首句。后文校长解释了该项措施，其他一些学校也采取了类似措施。按照常理，应该是引起了争议，需要解释。

4. D。本句也是段首句。下一句提到一个14岁的孩子不顾规定，依旧穿很短的裤子。那么上句为D时上下文承接最流畅。

5. E。本空后的句子则展示了相反的例子，另一个人表达了对这种举措的支持。E项Another 14-year-old....和下文承接顺畅且逻辑清晰。

五、书面表达

Dear Mom and Dad,

The annual college entrance examination is around the corner. On this special occasion, how I wish I could have a heart-to-heart talk with you.

Through those years of my growing up, I always feel grateful to you for your unselfish help, care and love for me. Thanks to your constant encouragement, I have been making remarkable progress in my studies. It will be less than three months before I take the College Entrance Examination, which makes me under great pressure. I need frequent support. You know, good studying conditions and timely help will do me a lot of good.

Mom and Dad, my dream is the very one you always have. I am fully aware of the responsibilities I am bearing. I plan to make a detailed study schedule for this coming examination so that I can review lessons and practice solving problems of different subjects. It is also necessary that I do some physical training once in a while so that I can keep fit. If possible, as a family member, I will also help do some housework to make you relax a little bit.

I am quite confident of my future life and I do wish you good health and a happy life.

Yours ever,
