LISTENING TEXT:

Wales is one of the four countries that form the United Kingdom. The Act of Union in 1536 combined West and East Wales into a single state. Wales was considered by the English and later Great Britain and the United Kingdom governments as a separate part of England and Cardiff was named in 1955 as its capital. Since then we speak of "England and Wales" where before only "England" was used. Travelling from England, you will know when you are in Wales, because all street signs and names of railway stations are written in two languages: English and Welsh. Welsh is the original language of the people in landscape in Wales is also different from e England is mostly hilly, the central parts of Wales are motmtainous. It is here that we find the highest mountainin the UK. As it is impossible to grow crops on the mountains,Welsh farmers keep sheep instead. It is difficult to get around the steep mountain slopes, even in ajeep. So the Welsh sheep farmers use dogs to move the sheep from one field to another.

The weather in Wales is warmer and wetter than in other parts of Britain. This is because of the high wind here usually comes from the southwest. As it moves across the warm Atlantic Ocean, the wind carries water from the sea. When this wind hits the mountains of Wales, the air rises causing rain to fall.

Wales is popular with holiday visitors. They go hiking in the mountains, or spend their summer days by the sea, swimming or sailing. People interested in history and architecture can visit some of the many historical sites in Wales. Most ancient castles and churches are open to the public. During the holidays, there are festivals too, with singing and dancing. Wales is often called "the Land of Song" and its people are famous for their love of poetry and music.

will be quite different．

A．take B．cost C．employ D．spend

A．1ies B．1ying C．stands D．standing

[解析] 根據語法規則分析可知，本題缺少謂語動詞：主語為an old temple，表語為there，所以這是個there be句型，因為B、D兩項不可作謂語，所以被排除。stand與lie的區別如下：動詞stand可用來表示高形物體位於何處,如:建築,樹,人等.而動詞lie用來表示非高形物體位於和處,如地區,國家,河流,田野,鐵路等.如:

8．表示“構成”的三個詞組

C．made from D．made in (全國高考題)

[解析]be made from表示“由……製成”，be made in表示“在……

生產”，均不合題意。[答案] A

9．make(+the)+n+of詞組小結

make the most of充分利用/展現

make the best of 好好去做，往好裏做

make the worst of在困難情況下不肻好好幹

make use of 利用

He wanted to make the most of his chance to learn．

他想充分利用他的機會來學習。

[考題9]Such good use has been his spare time his

English has improved a 1ot．

A．made of：that B．made of；as

C．made in；that D．found in；as(2003年成都診斷題)

[解析]分析句子結構在解答本題時佔極其重要的作用。句中含詞組make good use of及句型suchthat。use被提到句首，後面的組成部分不能少了make與of；另外such good use 也放在句首，表示強調。本句是一個結果狀語從句，所以不用引導定語從句的such…as [答案] A

10. as+adj./adv.+as的用法

(1)表示“﹙可數的量﹚多達”時用as many as；表示“﹙不可數的量﹚多達”時，用as much as。

As many as 10 or 11 poople were found living in a single room．

多達十到十一人被發現生活在一個單間裏。

She earned as much as 50 dollars a week．

她每週掙的錢達50美元。

讓我們走到車站去吧。

As far as I know，7 Chinese were kidnapped.

據我所知，有七名中國人遭到綁架。

[考題15]

(1)一Our holiday cost a 1ot of money．

一Did it?Well，that doesn't matter--you enjoyed yourselves．

well as B．as good as

C．as far as D．as long as(2002年北京東城區題)

[解析] as good as有本義(和……一樣好)與比喻義(幾乎；差不多已經)。as long as也是如此；“像……一樣長；只要(類似於if)”as Well as除了作連詞外，還有本義：“和……一樣好”。[答案]D

(2)John plays football ，if not better than，David．

A．as well B．as well as

C．so well D．so well as

[解析] 這是個條件狀語從句，由此可知空白處表示“和……一樣好”，肯定句中用as weU as，否定句中多用so well as。[答案] B

10．三個“國家”的區別

nation，state和country均可表示“國家”，但是nation指具有某些共同特徵的人羣、民族居住在一個地區，擁有一個獨立的政府的“國家”；state強調政治意義上的“國家”；country強調國土意義上的 國家。

Railways in Britain belong to the State．

在英國，鐵路屬於國家所有。

哪個國家的天氣與中國的最相像?

[考題10]India，which is one member of the united ，is a

developing with the second largest population in the world

A．States；state B．Nations；country

C．Countries；nation D．Nafions；state

[答案] B

11．含hold的詞組小結

Hold on!Everything will be 0K． 堅持下去!一切都會好的。

Wait．Ho1d on a minute!別忙掛電話。

Hold up your hands!請舉手。

The traffic was held up by an accident． 車輛被事故堵住了。

Take／catch ho1d of my hand!抓住我的手!

We cannot be defeated while we hold together．

我們團結在一起就不會被擊敗。

[考題1 1] We thought of selling this old furniture，but

we’ve decided to it．It might be valuable．

A．ho1d on to B．keep up with C．turn to D．1ook after

(2002年全國高考題)

[解析] keep up with表示“跟上”，turn to表示“轉向”，1ook after表示“照顧”。語境表示“……我們決定不賣，因為它可能有價值。” 所缺短語含義為“不要放棄／不賣掉”。本題要充分利用排除法，因為平時只見到hold on，很少拓展hold on to的用法，因此瞭解一下常用詞組的次常見含義有必要的。[答案] A

12．含run的詞組小結

(1)本單元中的run over作“(車輛)輾壓；溢出；匆匆看／複習一遍；預演一遍；簡短地説一遍”講。

He was run over by a car．他被車輾了。

The water ran over the edge of the jar．水溢出壇邊了。

The speaker ran over his notes before the 1ecture．

演講之前，演説者又看了一遍稿子。

(2)含run的詞組還有：

run across邂逅 run into撞上／進

run away走掉 run out(of)用光

run away from逃避 run through匆忙看

be on the run忙碌 in the long run從長遠看

[考題20]

(1)Be careful when you cross this very busy street．If not，you may run over by a car．(2002年北京高考題)

A．have B．get C．become D．turn

[解析] run over在本句中的含義為“被車輾過啊”。從用法上看， 此處應使用被動語態，而只有get done可以構成特殊的被動語態，表示遭遇到不幸等含義。[答案] B

(2)We are water．We’d better store some．

A．running out B．running out of

C．run out D．run out of

[解析]run out表示“用光”，是個不及物動詞，後面不能接賓語也不可用於被動語態，所以A、C兩項被排除。D項是被動形式，也不接語。

[答案] B

13. 含time的詞組小結

at a time一次；每次

at one time一度；曾經(=once)

at the same time與此同時；雖然如此

from time to time時而，不時地

in time及時；遲早、終究

on time準時，按時

at times有時候(=sometimes)

a11 the time一直

[考題13] ，I 1ost heart in English learning，but my teacher often said to me，“Keep on working hard；you’llsucceed ．”

A．At a time；in time B．At a time；on time

C．At one time；in time D．At one time；on time

[解析]本題顯然是考查at a time與at one time、in time與ontime的用法及區別。注意從at one time相當於once(one與once很相似)、in time有兩重含義(相當於sooner or later)這兩個技巧與能力方面入手，即可找出本題答案。[答案] C

14．“of+修飾詞+n.”的用法

(1)be of+抽象名詞，相當於“be+其同根形容詞”，表示“是……的”，該抽象名詞前可以加much，great，little，some，no等詞修飾。

The book is of great importance(=very important)to you.

(2)be of+普通名詞。該普通名詞一般沒有相應的形容詞，所以不存在“be+adj．”的轉換形式。

Coins may be of different sizes，weights，shapes and different metals.硬幣可能大小、重量、形狀不同，所用金屬材料不同。

They were both of middle height． 他們倆都是中等身材。

(3)be of+不定冠詞或one等詞+名詞，表示“同一的”。

The coats are of a colour．這衣服顏色一樣。

we are of one opinion．我們意見相同。

The two pairs of shoes are of one size．

=The two pairs of shoes are of the same size．

這兩雙鞋大小一樣。

(4)be of+普通名詞或物質名詞，表示“由……製成”，“由……組成”。

The wall is of stone．=The wall is made of stone．

這牆是用石頭砌成的。

(2)Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind unless they kill them for food．(2000年全國高考題)

A．the；a B．／；a C．the；the D．／；the

[解析] kind是個可數名詞，所以前面加不定冠詞a；a differen kind作定語，修飾animals，而此處animals泛指任何動物，所以前面不加冠詞。[答案] B

(3)--How many parts is the bed wood ?

一Three separate parts．

A．made of；made up of B．made from；made up

C．making of；making up D．making from；making up of

[解析] 分析句子結構可知，“--wood'’作定語，修飾bed，表示“由木材製成的”，用the bed made of wood表示；第二空與is構成詞組“由……組成”，用be made up of表示。[答案] A

15．表示“據説”的三種句型及拓展

(1)It is said that+主語+謂語部分

(2)People say that+主語+謂語部分

(3)主語+be+said+to+謂語部分

It is said that the population is 3 million．

=People say that the population is 3 million．

=The population is said to be 3 million．據説人口是三百萬。

拓展：類似詞還有：report，know，believe，hope，suppose，tell．

[考題15]

(1) at least a score of buildings will be built soon．

A．It hopes B．It is hoped that

C．We are hoped D．It is wished that

[解析] hope只可接單賓語，故排除c項。It is hoped that．．．意為“人們希望……” [答案] B

(2) that he has retumed home for one month．

A．It is said B．It said C．It was said D．It says

[解析] It is said that“據説……”。由“has”一詞可知本題時態，故不可選C項。答案為A。

16．名詞性從句(I)--賓語從句和表語從句

(1)賓語從句中that與what的用法 ．

what在賓語從句中，有代替名詞的作用，在句中可作主語、賓語或

表語。that只起引導作用，不作任何成分，可省略。

He seems different from what he used to be．

(作表語)他看上去與過去不一樣了。

-The fire destroyed what was in the building．

(作主語)大火摧毀了大樓裏的東西。

(2)賓語從句中複合關係名詞whoever，whichever，whatever等有代替名詞的作用

You may do whatever(anything that)you like．

(“無論什麼”，作賓語)你可以想做什麼就做什麼。

You can choose whichever you 1ike．

(“無論哪一個”；作賓語)你能選擇所喜歡的任意一個。

(3)表語從句常考點

(1)對引導詞(連詞)的正確選擇。表語從句可由that，what,

who(whom)，when，where，how，why，whether等連詞引導。

The question is whether we can catch the early bus．

問題是我們是否能趕上早班車。

(2)含有幾個須用虛擬語氣作賓語的詞（如：suggest，advise，order等）或名詞的表語從句中也用（should）do 形式。

My suggestion (advice) is that he (should) be sent to hospital at once.

[考題24](1)Sometimes we are asked__ the likely result of an action will be．

A．that we think B．what we think

C．what do we think D．that what we think

[解析] 賓語從句是名詞性從句中的考查熱點，其中又以測試引導詞、語序、主從句的時態佔絕大比例。選項中we think為一插入成分，解題時可將其放在一邊。句中be動詞後缺表語，因此應用what。 [答案]B

(2)Go and get your coat．It’s you left it．

A．there B．where C．there where D．where there

[解析] 本題考查引導名詞性從句的連接副詞的用法。在從句中,there是不能引導句子的，因為there只是副詞，不是連接副詞。Where引導表語從句並在從句中作狀語。[答案] B

(3)The difficulty we now meet with is we can persuade him to tell the truth．

A．that B．what C．how D．why

[解析] 句意為“我們現在碰到的問題是如何能夠説服他講實話。”

[答案] C

(4)After five hours’drive，they reached--they thought was the place they'd been drearning of.

A．that B．where C．which D．what

[解析] 句中they thought是插入語成分，所以引導詞引導賓語從句且作主語，只有what符合題意。[答案] D

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki,who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm into the building.

She said:"I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there. "

The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious(懷疑)of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before NewYear's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: "He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact (接觸)." Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stall McKale,65 ,who phoned the police at 11 pm..

Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gatesbeed, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.

Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.

"I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel,so I went to watch. I could not see into the man's room,but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed(戴手銬). ”

The tower of Big Ben, London's most famous building, has always leaned slightly, but construction work on a new line for the London Underground seemed likely to give the tower a real lean. Engineers have had to prop up(支撐) its base to prevent it from damaging the rest of the Houses of Parliament.

To control the tower's movement, engineers pumped out grout(水泥漿) into the soil tower. The tower now leans an extra few centimeters, but the lean can only be seen by the most sharp-eyed observer.

Between 1995 and 1997, to lengthen the Jubilee line of the Underground, builders dug a 40-metre-deep hole just 31 metres north of the clock tower. And the new tube (underground) tunnels were even nearer to the tower. John Burland, who recently helped stop the increasing lean in the Leaning Tower of Pisa and was an adviser to the Jubilee line project, believed the work would affect the tower. In his opinion, no further lean should go beyond a safety limit of 27.5 millimetres over the existing lean of 220 millimetres.

To keep the lean within this limit, Burland told the British Association about the new method of pumping grout immediately under the base of the tower. More than 300 tons of grout were pumped in during construction. The towers additional lean went between 10 and 25 millimetres ,but never passed 27.5 millimetres.

After the construction work was completed in late 1997, a review of movements in nearby walls showed that the building was in better shape than had been thought before and the safety measurements, taken this year, suggest that the tower's lean had just reached 35 millimetres. But following regular re-examinations of the tower, experts are sure that the tower has stabilized (穩定). A spokesman for London Underground says, " We understand the tower has stabilized and returned to its normal movement cycle. "

41. Which of the following drawing correctly shows how the propping up

construction was carried out?

42. What does the word review( in paragraph 5) mean?

A. Observation. B. Description.

C. Discussion. D. Re-examination.

43. Why was the propping up construction necessary?

A. To stop the tower of Big Ben from leaning.

B. To stop sharp-eyed people from seeing the lean.

C. To stop the Tower of Pisa from leaning too much.

D. To stop the clock tower from leaning beyond its safety limit.

44. What was the existing lean of the tower at the time when the article was writing?

A. 220 millimetres. B. 255 millimetres.

C. 35 millimetres. D. 27.5 millimetres.

45. We can infer from the article that

A. the tower of Big Ben will damage the Houses of Parliament

B. the Jubilee line should be stopped in Burlands opinion

C. the writer is blaming Burland for making a mistake

D. the propping up work has proved to be successful

C

Have you ever used a typewriter? If not, you've surely seen one. This useful machine has a most interesting history.

Although you may think that the typewriter is a modern invention,the idea goes as far back as the early 1700s. It was then, in 1714,that England's Queen Anne granted Henry Mill the first patent( 專利)for a machine that typed letters. Called An Artificial Machine or Method For Impressing Letters, the machine remained just a design on paper.

Various other typing machines were invented over the next hundred years or so. However, all of them had the same problem: they required more time to use than writing the same material by hand. Things improved a little around 1829 when an American named William Butt invented a machine called the desired also pressed a bar to link the paper. The machine printed letters well, but it had a top speed of only five words a minute.

Finally, in 1874, a more practical machine was introduced to the public. Invented by an American Christopher Sholes and some of his companions, the machine was set up by E. Remington and Sons and called the "Remington Model No. 1 ". It was the first typewriter to have the kind of typewriter keyboard we know today.

You may have a look at the typewriter keyboard and wonder about the strange arrangement of letters. As a matter of fact, the keys were so arranged to force typists to type lower. Typing too fast caught the keys of Remington 1 pressed together. They still follow this early arrangement of letters of the keyboard.

46. What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage?

A. What a typewriter is.

B. How the typewriter was invented.

C. The function and use of a typewriter.

D. Remington and his invention.

A. from 1700 to 1714

B. in the eighteenth century

C. in the nineteenth century

D. in the twentieth century

49. That the keyboard was designed so as today is because .

A. the inventor wanted to make typing slower than writing

B. the inventor meant to prevent the keys from being pressed

together

C. that it was arranged strangely

D. it has nothing to do with Remington

50. We can infer from the passage that modern typewriters are better that and different from the one invented by Sholes and his companions except for .

A. the size B. the keyboard

C. the form of letters D. the arrangement of the letters

The British have enjoyed an increase in IQ unmatched by anybody else in the developed world over the past 60 years, a study has revealed. James Flynn, a professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand and a leading authority on intelligence quotient (智商), says he has found an "exceptional and unappreciated" rise.

Last year the professor announced a worldwide increase in IQ showing that we are generally brighter than our parents, but are outwitted by our children. He suggested that the complexities( 複雜性) of modem life were stimulating ( 刺激) the brain. Now a comparison of data from thousands of tests in universities and the army in 20 countries has shown that this socalled Flynn Effect is greatest in Britain, with a 27-point increase in average IQ Since the Second World War.

Much of the British advantage comes from speaking English,the standard tool of communication in commerce and culture. TheBritish also benefit from IQ-boosters ( 推助器 ) such as lower truancy(逃學) and better nutrition than in America. This may help to explain why the typical British reader of J. R. R Tolkien's The lord of the Rings was believed to be 25 in the mid 1950s and 18 during the late 1960s, whereas the book is now widely enjoyed by 12-year-olds.

Psychologists believe up to 80% of an IQ score is determined

by genes. But a formula for high IQ would also include a larger-

than-average head and breast-feeding because milk helps the grainto develop. Bill Dickens,Flynn's research partner at the BrookingsInstitution in Washington D. C, believes the challenge of changingjobs may also have an impact: " In which case countries like Britain, which have high levels of job changes, should produce some very bright people whose most obvious sign of their intelligence istheir insecurity(不安分) ".

51. According to James Flynn, .

A. the British have had a sharp increase in IQ

B. the British remain at the same level in IQ

C. the British are the most clever people in the world

D. the British are cleverer than other people in the developed world

52. The underlined word " outwitted" in the second paragraph probably means .

A. matched in wisdom

B. defeated by being cleverer

C. followed in wisdom

D. looked down upon

53. According to James Flynn, people in the world are generally

brighter because .

A. people live a better life than before

B. people enjoy better education

C. modem life is getting hard

D. modem life is not so simple as before

54. Which of the following is not a reason for the increase in

IQ of the British?

A. Speaking English. B. Changing jobs.

C. Higher truancy. D. Better nutrition.

55. The example of the typical BritiSh readers of The lord of the Rings shows that .

A. the younger a reader is, the more likely he will enjoy reading the book

B. it is the most difficult book to read

C. people are becoming brighter

D. it is more popular in Britain than in America

England is no a big country:from north to south and 56

from east to west, it is only about three hundreds miles57

across. But for a small country it has a surprised range58

of climates. People who have ever visited England, or 59

who has visited only one part of it, often make the mistake60

of thinking that it is cold and wet county. Except for 61

the summer months of June to September, this is probably 62

true in the north of England and the the south, however, ~e climate is too much more 63

pleasant. One result is because when people retire from a64

job in the north they often prefer move to the milder south.65
