一、单选题
1、The actor is not so handsome _______ the local newspaper described.
A、that
B、which
C、as
D、so
解析：
题干考查原级比较的否定式“not as/so+形容词或副词的原级+as…”，用于两者之间，表示一方不及另一方。根据句意“这位男演员并不像当地报纸描述的那样帅气”，应选C选项“as”，构成not as handsome as结构。其他选项不符合题意。
2、They always give the available seats to _______ comes first.
A、whoever
B、whomever
C、who
D、whom
解析：
题干中给出的句子是一个宾语从句，且空处需要引导宾语从句并在从句中作主语。根据句意“他们总是把空座位让给所有（任何）先来的人”，可知应该用whoever（无论谁）来引导这个宾语从句。因此，正确答案是A。选项B的whomever和选项D的whom在引导宾语从句时，需要在从句中作宾语；选项C的who在引导宾语从句时，可以在从句中作主语或宾语等成分，但在这个语境下不符合句意。因此，选项A是正确的答案。
3、You _______ a letter to James. However, you didn’t.
A、ought to write
B、ought to have written
C、should write
D、should be writing
解析：
根据句意可知，这里表示“过去本应该写一封信却没有写”，因此使用ought to have done或should have done表示过去本应该做某事却没有做。选项B为ought to have written，符合语境，是正确答案。
4、_______ my brother got married _______ he could afford to buy his own house.
A、It was not until; then
B、It is not until; when
C、It is until; that
D、It was not until; that
解析：
题干考查的是强调句型中的not until结构。强调句型的基本结构为：It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他。在强调not…until…结构中表示时间状语的until短语或从句时，要用固定的强调句型：It is/was not until…that…。本句强调的是时间状语从句not until my brother got married，所以应用that连接。因此，正确答案为D。
5、I apologize for _______ my promise that I would take you to the seaside.
A、not keep
B、not having kept
C、not have kept
D、having not kept
解析：
本题考查动名词的用法。首先，固定搭配"apologize for doing sth.“表示"为做某事而道歉”，所以空格处应填入一个动名词。其次，根据句意，“没有信守承诺”这一动作发生在“道歉”之前，因此需要使用动名词的完成式，即“having+过去分词”的形式。否定式则是在having前加not。因此，正确答案为B。
6、Doctors have said that as many as 50 percent of patients don’t take medicine _______.
A、like directed
B、to be directed
C、as directed
D、thus directed
解析：
句子表达的是“医生说多达50%的患者没有按照指示服药”。在这个句子中，需要一个状语从句来描述患者没有按照指示服药的情况。选项C中的“as directed”表示“按照指示”，是符合句意的表达。因此，正确答案是C。其他选项不符合句子的语境和语法结构。
7、His mother often says to him, “It’s high time that you _______.”
A、got married and settle down
B、getting married and settling down
C、would get married and settle down
D、got married and settled down
解析：
在It is (high/about)time (that)…句型中，后面的从句要用虚拟语气，从句谓语动词用过去式，也可用“should+动词原形”的形式，should不可省略，意为“该是……的时候了”。结合选项可知，空处应用got married and settled down，表示“结婚并安定下来”，故选D。
8、Once a _______ is formed, it is very difficult to shake it off.
A、usage
B、custom
C、practice
D、habit
解析：
题干中提到“一旦养成一个习惯，就很难摆脱它”，暗示需要选择一个与“习惯”相关的词汇。选项D中的“habit”恰好表示“习惯”的意思，符合题意。其他选项如A的“usage”表示用法，B的“custom”表示风俗、习俗，C的“practice”表示实践或惯例，均不符合题干中的语境。因此，正确答案是D。
9、Only after they had taken the machine apart _______ the problem.
A、did they find
B、do they find
C、they find
D、they found
解析：
首先，根据语法规则，“only+状语(从句)”位于句首时，句子(或主句)应用部分倒装，即将助动词、情态动词或be动词提至主语前面。因此排除C和D两个选项。其次，从句中已经使用了过去完成时“had taken”，表示过去的某个动作已经完成。而主句的动作发生在从句动作之后，所以主句应该使用一般过去时。结合上述分析，选项A“did they find”符合语法规则和句子含义，是正确答案。
10、No one will stand _______ if you really want to work in that company.
A、on your way
B、in your way
C、by the way
D、out of the way
解析：
根据题意，句子表达的是“如果你真的想在那个公司工作的话，没有人可以妨碍你”，其中“in your way”表示“妨碍，挡着……的路”，符合句意。因此，正确答案是B。
11、The house that _______ in the floods must be rebuilt before winter comes.
A、has been washed away
B、has to be washed away
C、has them washed away
D、has washed them away
解析：
该题考查的是定语从句和语态。根据句意和结构，这里需要一个定语从句来修饰先行词The house，并且需要使用被动语态来表达房子被洪水冲走的动作。选项A中的has been washed away是现在完成时的被动语态，符合题意。因此，答案为A。
12、Their youngest child is _______ because he is always given whatever he wants.
A、wasted
B、spoiled
C、destroyed
D、uneducated
解析：
题干中的关键词为"is…because he is always given whatever he wants"，意思是他们的孩子因为总是得到他想要的而被宠坏了。选项中，A选项waste意为浪费，不符合题意；C选项destroy意为摧毁或破坏，也不符合题意；D选项uneducated意为未受教育的，虽然孩子得到了他想要的东西，但并不意味着他没有受到教育。因此，正确答案为B，即spoil，意为宠坏或溺爱。
13、Researchers have _______ to the conclusion that your personality is affected by your genes.
A、come
B、got
C、reached
D、arrived
解析：
题干中的句子是一个关于研究者已经得出结论的句子，表示“得出结论”的常见表达方式有“come to the conclusion”，“reach the conclusion”，以及“arrive at the conclusion”。其中，“come to the conclusion”和“reach the conclusion”都可以使用，但根据句子结构和语法要求，选项C中的“reached”更符合句意和语法规则。因此，正确答案为C。
14、The young man _______ we thought should have won the game failed in the end.
A、who
B、whom
C、what
D、which
解析：
题干中的句子是一个定语从句，修饰名词The young man。在从句中，we thought是插入语，可以忽略。从句成分不完整，缺少主语，因此需要使用关系代词来引导这个定语从句。由于先行词是The young man，指人，所以应该使用关系代词who或that来引导定语从句。因此，正确答案是A。选项B的whom在定语从句中作宾语；选项C的what不能引导定语从句；选项D的which在定语从句中虽然可以作主语、宾语或表语，但是先行词通常指物或整句话，不能指人。因此这三个选项都不符合题意。
15、In most countries, a university degree can give you _______ flying start in your career.
A、the
B、/
C、an
D、a
解析：
本题考查固定搭配。句意：在大多数国家，大学学位可以为你的职业生涯提供一个良好的开端。a flying start为固定搭配，意为“一个良好的开端”，所以选项D是正确的选择。
16、Two _______ teachers and four _______ students were praised at the meeting yesterday.
A、women ; girl
B、woman ; girl
C、woman ; girls
D、women ; girls
解析：
根据题干中的语境和语法规则，空格处应填入复数形式的名词。由于题目中使用了复数形式的“Two”和“four”，因此需要考虑到名词的复数形式。对于复合名词，当两部分都有复数形式时，应分别在两部分都加上复数标记。因此，“woman teacher”的复数形式应为“women teachers”，“girl student”的复数形式应为“girls students”。因此，正确答案为A选项。
17、So little _______ about the British history that the lecture was completely beyond me.
A、do I know
B、I knew
C、did I know
D、I know
解析：
：此题考查部分倒装和时态。当so…that…结构中的so连同其修饰的成分位于句首时，主句应部分倒装。根据句意和从句中的was可知，这里描述的是过去发生的事情，主句应用一般过去时。因此答案为C，即"did I know"。
18、She _______ her friend’s invitation in order to concentrate on her studies.
A、turned in
B、turned down
C、turned off
D、turned over
解析：
根据题目中的语境，“她拒绝了她朋友的邀请，以便把注意力集中在自己的学业上”，可以得知正确答案为B，“turned down”表示拒绝的意思，符合语境。其他选项的意思与题目不符。
19、I have some trouble with my English writing. Can you give me some _______?
A、suggestion
B、decisions
C、messages
D、advice
解析：
句子中的关键词是"Can you give me some"，表明询问的是能否给予某种建议或意见。根据语境和选项，建议或意见用英文表达为advice，因此答案为D。其他选项的意思与句子不符，如suggestion虽然也有建议的意思，但通常用于具体的提议或建议方案，而非一般的建议或意见；decisions是复数形式，表示多个决定，与句子意思不符；messages则表示信息或消息，与句子中的困难无关。
20、With the couple _______ in a faraway town, their house in the countryside seems pretty empty most of the time.
A、work
B、to work
C、working
D、worked
解析：
题干要求选择一个非谓语动词来填空，构成With复合结构。根据语境可知，这对夫妇在遥远的城镇工作，所以应该用现在分词的一般式来表达这一动作。选项A是动词原形，不符合语法规则；选项B是不定式的一般式，表示主动和将来，但在这个语境下不符合逻辑；选项D是过去分词，表示被动或完成，也不符合语境。因此，正确答案是C，即现在分词的一般式形式。

21、第（21）题选
A、would
B、be used to
C、used to
D、used
解析：
：这道题考查的是固定短语搭配和语境理解。句子中的关键词是"now live longer"，意思是现在活得比以前久，表示一种过去和现在情况的对比。而选项C中的词组"used to"恰好表示过去常常如此但现在情况发生了变化，符合句意。因此正确答案是C。
根据下面资料，回答41-45题
You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.
There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB and O. A simple test can indicate a person's blood type. Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.
Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence, it is often called the universal donor. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (liquid) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.
There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European origin, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.
22、A good title for this passage is ______.
A、Getting Blood and Liquid
B、Special Blood Colors
C、Human Blood Types
D、The Blood Bank of Hospitals
解析：
：文章主要介绍了人的血型，包括四种基本血型的特点、血型之间的接受关系以及血型与民族之间的关系。因此，一个合适的标题应该是关于人类血型的，选项C“Human Blood Types”最能概括文章主题。
根据下面资料，回答46-50题
In old Hollywood movies, "Indians" were silent and serious-faced. They had feathers in their hair and weapons in their hands, ready to fight. But the true history and culture of America's native people may surprise you. American Indians come from hundreds of different tribes, each with its own culture and language. Not all were soldiers. Many lived peacefully.
American society still includes many of these tribes and their cultures. Two million American Indians live in the U.S. today. And their influence can be found all over the country.
No one knows the exact origin of the American Indians. Many believe they arrived in North America thousands of years ago. They may have come from northeast Asia, crossing the Bering Strait(白令海峡) into North America. By the time European explorers arrived, an estimated 2 to 10 million natives had lived in America.
Thousands of Europeans came to America in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The American Indians saved many white newcomers' lives. They taught them how to hunt, grow food, and live inharmony with nature.
As white settlers spread across the continent, however, conflicts arose. American Indians thought of nature as something to use, enjoy and protect. Europeans saw nature as something to own and a source of things to buy and sell.
As the white population grew, the settlers began taking land from the American Indians. They forced them to give up their homes, languages and customs. The American Indians fought back. Some revenged by killing white people or burning their homes. But soon white people outnumbered the American Indians.
23、What was the Indians’ image in old Hollywood movies?
A、They were talkative.
B、They lived a peaceful life.
C、They used feathers as their clothes.
D、They had weapons and were aggressive.
解析：
根据第一段描述，在旧好莱坞电影中，"Indians"的形象是沉默而严肃的，他们头插羽毛、手持武器，准备战斗。因此，在旧好莱坞电影中，印第安人的形象是持有武器并且具有攻击性的。选项D符合这一描述。
根据下面资料，回答51-55题
Someone said to a man, "Travel and see the world." He answered, "Why should I? People are the same everywhere. They have the same feelings. They feel love and hate, happiness and sadness, security and fear. This is why I do not want to travel. I can learn everything here."
The man was right. He was also wrong. People are the same, but people are also different. They all have the same pattern of life—birth, youth, old age, death. But these stages of life have different values in different cultures. Also, while all people have the same feelings, the causes of these feelings are different. A situation that may bring happiness in one place may not bring happiness in another place.
For example, in many countries, old age is a happy time. In Korea, old people are honored and respected. When they become sixty-one years old, it is a very happy and important event. There is a big party with many guests. They receive many gifts. When people reach this time in life, the attitudes of their family and their community change toward them. Everyone looks forward to this time.
In the United States, it is quite different for old people. Most old people do not live with their children or relatives. For many North Americans, old age is not a happy time. Most North Americans want to stay young. They try to act like young people as long as possible. They even try to speak the language of the young. They do not like to grow old because they will not get honor or respect or attention. Old age can be a sad and lonely time for them.
24、The reason why the man did not have the intention of traveling was that ______.
A、he was too old to travel any more
B、he preferred to stay home to enjoy his leisure time
C、he thought he knew about people in other places
D、he could not understand people in other countries since he was deaf
解析：
：根据对话内容，这位男士认为人们到处都有相同的感情和体验，因此他没有旅行的打算。他认为他可以在当前的地方了解到一切，这表明他对自己已经了解其他地方的人有信心。因此，他不去旅行的原因是他认为自己已经了解其他地方的人，选项C正确。

The Isles of Scilly
The Isles of Scilly form an archipelago(群岛) off the southwestern tip of Cornwall. They are comprised of 140 islands and islets. Scientific evidence suggests that the Isles were likely much larger in ancient times and that many of them would have been joined into one island. Rising sea levels over time have led to the current geography.
Up until the early twentieth century, the residents of the Isles of Scilly practiced subsistence living(自给生活), raising their own livestock and crops and catching fish to eat. Today, things are quite different. The Isles are well known for their flowers, particularly daffodils, which are their chief agricultural product. Otherwise, the Isles today depend largely on food and other products imported from the mainland, though fishing remains a popular pastime, if not a significant source of income.
The main industry on the Isles today is tourism, making up 85% of the islands' total income. The favorable summer climate, conducive to flowers and holidays, facilitates the large amount of tourism in the area. The bulk of tourists visit St. Mary's the only island with a significant road network and airport, though the island of Tresco also has a number of timeshare resorts and a heliport.
The holiday season on the Isles of Scilly, unlike many other tourist destinations in England, extends through October, when the Isles are a top destination for birdwatchers who come to see the many exotic birds that make the first stop of their migration on the Isles.
The dominance of the tourism industry on the Islands has caused some political problems. Sixty-three percent of the islands' jobs come from the tourism industry, but the vast majority of these offer only seasonal or part-time work. Thus, the Isles employ a number of guest workers. Currently, the average income on the islands is only 70% of the national average in the UK, whereas housing prices are, on average, ￡ 5000 more expensive than in the rest of the country. These factors make life difficult for those who make the Isles ~heir home, though they continue to be very popular among tourists.
25、The geography of the Isles of Scilly was shaped by_______.
A、changing sea levels
B、a decline in farming
C、a rise in population
D、their many beaches
解析：
根据文章第一段最后一句“Rising sea levels over time have led to the current geography.”可知，锡利群岛的地形是由海平面上升导致的，因此选项A“变化的海平面”是正确答案。
二、简答题
26、Think of a language as a living thing. Like most living things, languages are always growing and changing. English has always been made up of words from many languages. Most English words come from Latin, Germanic languages and French. But in the last several hundred years, English has also borrowed words and terms from other languages. You can learn a lot about history and culture by looking at what led to the borrowing of certain words. It may surprise you that English has taken more than a dozen words from Japanese.
解析：
此简答题主要考察对语言成长和变化的理解，以及对英语借用其他语言单词的现象的认识。答案需要简洁明了地回答问题，并对每个问题的背景进行简要的解释或阐述。第4个问题需要进一步的查阅和研究来给出确切答案。
27、Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition on the topic How to Relieve My Pressure based on the outline given below. Please write it on the ANSWER SHEET.
1. 目前大学生面临各种压力(学习压力、就业压力等)；
2. 列举你生活中的压力，并举例说明如何缓解这些压力；
3. 总结观点。
解析：
如今，大学生面临各种压力，如学习压力、财务压力和就业压力。虽然压力可以激发动力，但过多的压力可能会严重影响人们的身心健康，因此适当处理压力是必要的。
说到缓解压力，每个人的方法可能不同。在我的生活中，我承受着来自家人、朋友、学习和未来就业等各方面的压力。其中，最令我困扰的是就业压力。为了减少焦虑，我寻求父母和老师的帮助。他们帮我分析我的优缺点。此外，我的亲戚和朋友给我很多有用的建议和许多有用的资源。这些都帮助我缓解了压力。
总之，重要的是要认识到压力并处理它，而不是逃避它。只有这样，我们才能真正享受生活的美好。
