一、Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Passage 1
Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.(76) I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer’ and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目)writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? (77 ) I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

B、advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer

D:鼓励年轻人从事写作事业

B、A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.
C、Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
D、The chances for writer to become successful are small

B:作家的成功不是靠努力，而是靠运气。
C:著名作家通常生活在贫困和孤立中。
D:作家成功的机会很小
3、Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
A、He wasn’t able to produce a single book.
B、He hadn’t seen aching for the better.
C、He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.
D、He though that he lacked imagination.
解析：
为什么作者在写作生涯的第一年之后就开始怀疑自己?
4、“…people who die wondering: What if ?”(Lin4-5, Para-3) refers to “those _____”.
A、who think too much of the dark side of life
B、who regret giving up their career halfway
C、who think a lot without making a decision
D、who are full of imagination even upon death
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：题目中的句子“…people who die wondering: What if ?”指的是那些思考很多却没有做出决定的人。从选项中可以看出，只有选项C符合这个描述，即“那些思考很多却没有做出决定的人”。其他选项都不符合这个描述。因此，正确答案是C。
5、“Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____.
A、the wonderland on often dreams about
B、the bright future that one is looking forward to
C、the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached
D、a world that exists only in one’s imagination
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在原文中，作者提到自己成为自由撰稿人后，一开始没有前景，生活困难，但作者依然坚持写作，因为他知道这是自己的梦想。作者在文中说：“I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.”（我会继续把我的梦想付诸实践，即使这意味着要生活在不确定性和对失败的恐惧之中。）因此，可以推断出“Shadowland”指的是在实现最终目标之前的不确定性状态，即选项C。选项A、B、D都与原文不符。

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man.

Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. (79) By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largel7y solved.

Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.
It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44.
Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person’s smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.
The situation is somewhat different for women.(80)There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.
Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.
11、What do we know from the first paragraph ?
A、More and more people take up the habit of smoking.
B、There are more smoking women than smoking men in USA.
C、It is good news that more people have given up smoking.
D、The U.S. has more smoking people than any other country.
解析：
题目:从第一段我们知道什么?

四、Part IV Cloze (10%)
Part Ⅳ Cloze (10%)
When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States it wasn’t the first time I had been _56_. Like most English children I learned French at school and I had often _57_ to France, I so I was used _58_ a foreign language to people who did not understand _59_. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to _60_ a nice easy holiday without any _61_ problems.
How wrong I was ! the misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a _62_ telephone to give my American friend Danny a _63_ and tell her I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me _64_ lost and asked _65_ he could help me. “Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.” “Well, that’s _66_ “ he exclaimed. “Are you getting_67_? But aren’t you a bit _68_?” “Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I _69_ want to give a ring to tell he I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?” “Oh!” he said, “ There’s a phone downstairs.”
When at last we _70_ meet up, Danny _71_ the misunderstandings to me. “ Don’t worry,” she said to me . “I had so many _72_ at first. There are lots of words words which the Americans _73_ differently in meaning from _74_. You’ll soon get used to _75_ things they say.

56、( 56 )
A、out
B、aboard
C、away
D、abroad
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：这道题目考察的是词语搭配。原文中提到"it wasn’t the first time I had been _56_"，这里需要一个能够填入空白处的词，使句子通顺合理。选项A的"out"表示“出去”，不符合语境；选项B的"aboard"表示“在船上或飞机上”，也不符合语境；选项C的"away"表示“离开”，同样不符合语境；而选项D的"abroad"表示“出国”，符合语境，表示“这不是我第一次出国”。因此，正确答案是D。
57、( 57 )
A、gone
B、been
C、got
D、come
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：题干中提到“I had often __57__ to France”，表示“我过去经常去法国”，而“go to”表示“去某地”，与“had”构成过去完成时，所以选项A“gone”不合适。选项B“been”与“had”构成过去完成时，表示“我曾经去过”，符合句意。选项C“got”表示“得到”，与句意不符。选项D“come”表示“来”，与句意也不符。因此，正确答案为A。
58、( 58 )
A、to speak
B、for speaking
C、to speaking
D、to speaking of
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】句子中使用了短语"be used to do sth."，表示习惯于做某事，因此选项C "to speaking"符合语法规则。而选项A "to speak"和选项D "to speaking of"都不符合语法规则，选项B "for speaking"也不符合固定搭配。因此，正确答案是C。
59、( 59 )
A、English
B、French
C、Russian
D、Latin
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在题干中提到了"I had often traveled to France"，表明作者曾经多次去法国旅行，所以应该是用法语跟当地的人交流，因此答案为A，即English。而选项B、C、D均不符合题意。
60、( 60 )
A、having
B、buying
C、giving
D、receiving
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在句子中，作者提到“I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.”，意思是作者希望有一个没有语言问题的轻松假期。因此，空格处应该填入表示“拥有”或“经历”的动词，而选项A中的“having”符合这个意思。其他选项如“buying”（购买）、“giving”（给予）和“receiving”（接收）都不符合语境。因此，正确答案是A。
61、( 61 )
A、time
B、human
C、money
D、language
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：句子中提到了"without any __1__ problems"，空格后的problems表示问题，根据语境可知，作者希望在美国度过一个没有语言问题的假期，因此空格处应填入与语言相关的词语。选项A中的time表示时间，与语境不符；选项B中的human表示人类，也不符合语境；选项C中的money表示金钱，与问题无关；而选项D中的language表示语言，符合语境。因此，正确答案为D。
62、( 62 )
A、perfect
B、popular
C、public
D、pleasant
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据上下文可知，作者在机场找公共电话打电话给朋友，因此应选择"public"表示公共的，符合上下文语境。而"perfect"表示完美的，与语境不符；"popular"表示流行的，也不符合语境；"pleasant"表示愉快的，也不符合语境。因此，正确答案为C。
63、( 63 )
A、ring
B、letter
C、word
D、message
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据句子中的"I want to give my friend a ring"可知，作者想要给朋友打电话，所以应该选择"ring"作为电话的意思，即选项A。其他选项不符合句意。
64、( 64 )
A、to look
B、looking like
C、looking
D、feeling like
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在句子中，需要使用“look”表示“看上去”的意思，表示这个人在寻找电话亭时看起来像是在寻找东西，所以应该选择“looking”。因此，答案为C。
65、( 65 )
A、that
B、if
C、where
D、when
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】在原文中，句子“A friendly old man saw me lost and asked if he could help me.”中，主语“A friendly old man”看到“我”迷路，然后询问“我”是否需要帮助。根据句意，这里应该使用“if”引导宾语从句，表示询问“我”是否需要帮助。因此，正确答案为B选项“if”。
66、( 66 )
A、well
B、strange
C、nice
D、funny
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在原文中，作者描述了一个在机场发生的误会。作者想要给朋友打电话，但是被一个友好的老人误解为想要给朋友打电话求婚，所以老人问作者“你结婚了吗？你是不是有点太急了？”根据上下文，这里应该填写一个形容词来描述这种误解，选项中只有“strange”符合语境，表示“奇怪的、不寻常的”，因此正确答案是B。
67、( 67 )
A、to marry
B、marrying
C、to be married
D、married
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：题干中提到“I want to give my friend a ring”，意为“我想给我的朋友打电话”，而选项D中的“married”意为“已婚的”，与题意不符。选项A中的“to marry”表示“将要结婚”，也不符合题意。选项B中的“marrying”表示“正在结婚”，同样不符合题意。只有选项C中的“to be married”表示“将要结婚”，但在这个语境下，更合适的表达应该是“to call”，表示“打电话”。因此，正确答案是C，但题目中并没有给出C选项，可能是题目出错了。根据常识和语境，最符合题意的应该是“to call”，即“打电话”。因此，可以推断出题目中的空格应该填写“to call”，而不是其他选项。但由于题目中并没有给出C选项，所以无法确定正确答案。如果题目中给出了C选项“to call”，那么答案就是C。
68、( 68 )
A、small
B、smart
C、little
D、young
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】在句子中提到了"But aren’t you a bit ...?"，其中"a bit"表示程度，表示稍微，一点点。选项A "small"表示小的，不符合句意；选项B "smart"表示聪明的，也不符合句意；选项D "young"表示年轻的，符合句意，表示稍微年轻一点。因此，正确答案是D。
69、( 69 )
A、very
B、just
C、so
D、just now
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】根据上下文，作者想要给朋友打电话告知自己已到达，而不是想要结婚，因此选项B“just”表示“仅仅，只是”符合语境。选项A“very”表示“非常”，不符合语境；选项C“so”表示“因此”，也不符合语境；选项D“just now”表示“刚才”，与语境不符。因此，正确答案是B。
70、( 70 )
A、did
B、could
C、do
D、can
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在原文中，当“我”到达美国时，希望得到一个没有语言障碍的假期，即“a nice easy holiday without any language problems”。而句子中的动词需要表达“能够”的意思，因此需要用到情态动词。选项中只有did符合，表示“能够”做某事。因此，正确答案是/nA did。
71、( 71 )
A、described
B、explained
C、talked
D、expressed
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：在文章中，Danny向作者解释了误解的原因，她告诉作者美国人在某些词汇上的含义与英国人不同，因此作者需要适应美国人说的不同事物。根据这个语境，作者需要解释这些误解，所以正确答案为B，即“explained”。其他选项的描述、谈话和表达都不符合文章语境。
72、( 72 )
A、trouble
B、difficulties
C、fun
D、things
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据语境，在文中提到“I was really looking forward to a nice easy holiday without any problems.”，说明作者希望在美国度过一个没有问题的假期，因此选项B“difficulties”符合语境，表示“困难”。选项A“trouble”虽然也表示“麻烦”，但不如“difficulties”更具体；选项C“fun”表示“乐趣”，与语境不符；选项D“things”太笼统，没有具体指向。因此，正确答案为B。
73、( 73 )
A、write
B、speak
C、use
D、read
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据题目中的句子“There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from us.”可知，美国人使用某些单词的方式与我们不同，因此正确答案为C，即“use”。其他选项如write、speak、read都不符合句意。
74、( 74 )
A、us British
B、British us
C、us Britain
D、we British
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：根据语境，英国人使用“us British”来表示“我们英国人”，而美国人使用“British us”来表示同样的意思。因此，正确答案为“us British”。
75、( 75 )
A、such
B、these
C、some
D、all the
解析：【喵呜刷题小喵解析】：空格后的"things"为复数，因此需要选择一个复数形式的限定词。选项A中的"such"可以用来修饰复数名词，表示"这样的"。选项B中的"these"虽然也可以修饰复数名词，但在这里不符合语境。选项C中的"some"虽然也可以修饰复数名词，但在这里没有强调"所有的"意思。选项D中的"all the"虽然可以修饰复数名词，但在这里过于绝对，不符合语境。因此，正确答案是A。

83、如果你那时没有及时离开，我无法想象会发生什么情况。
参考答案：If you hadn't left in time, I couldn't imagine what would have happened.
解析：【喵呜刷题小u解析】：这个句子是一个条件句，表示对过去情况的假设。句子中的"If you hadn't left in time"是条件部分，表示假设"你当时没有及时离开"的情况；"I couldn't imagine what would have happened"是结果部分，表示在假设的情况下，作者无法想象会发生什么情况。因此，整个句子的意思是：如果你当时没有及时离开，我无法想象会发生什么情况。
84、他们发现在下午6点前不可能完成这项工作。
参考答案：They found it impossible to complete the work before 6 pm.
解析：【喵呜刷题小u解析】：这个句子是一个简单的主谓宾句，主语是“他们”，谓语是“found”，宾语是“it impossible to complete the work before 6 pm”。翻译时，我们需要将“不可能”翻译为“impossible”，将“在下午6点前”翻译为“before 6 pm”，将“完成这项工作”翻译为“complete the work”。因此，整个句子的意思是“他们发现在下午6点前不可能完成这项工作”。
85、由于我没有读过这本书，所以我无法对此作出评论。
