听第10段材料， 回答第17至20题。

Rainforests are important places for people and animals.

There are different kinds of rainforests. Some are high in the mountains and others are near the sea. In the last forty years， humans have destroyed half of the earth's rainforests.

Rainforests are home to about fifty million people. There are also millions of animals， plants and insects that live there.

When we destroy the rainforests， people will lose their homes and thousands of species of animals and plants will disappear. Once these animals and plants disappear， we will never see them again.

The weather in the rainforest is hot all year round. The weather is always wet， too.

The Amazon rainforest is about a hundred million years old， and has more species of animals and plants than any other place on earth. People have now cut down much of this rainforest to plant coffee and sugar.

Dear Manager，

I'm writing to tell you something that happened to me.

Last week I bought an English dictionary from your online bookstore because I am in great need of such a dictionary to help me with my English study. It costs me 25 dollars. But unfortunately when it reached me， I found it very unsatisfactory. There are quite a few misprints and some of the pages are even missing！

As far as I am concerned， I'd like my money back or at least you can change this dictionary for another copy！ Personally you should have checked the dictionary to make it sure that the dictionary is of high quality before you delivered to customers. I do hope your service can improve from now on.

I'm looking forward to your reply.

Yours，

Li Hua

M： I am afraid we haven't got anything like that， Madam. Sorry.

听第7段材料， 回答第8、9题。

M： This butter has a funny taste. Perhaps it isn't fresh. When did you buy it？

W： It has been here for only one day. Sometimes supermarkets keep food on the shelf too long. Give it to me and I'll take it back. I'll ask them to change it.

M： Do you think they will？

W： What kind of television do you want to buy？

W： I don't think it's necessary to buy a very big one.

M： Any reason？

W： But my friends will have jobs and have a lot of fun while I spend all my time doing reading and writing.

M： But if you go to university， you still have time for fun.

W： What you say makes sense. I'll think it over. Thank you for the advice.

Dear editor，

This morning while I was surfing the Internet， a photo caught my attention. In the photo there was a dustman who was on a drip under a tree by the roadside. It turned out that he insisted on working despite illness. Anyone seeing this would be deeply touched.

We must admit that dustmen like him are doing tiring work for long hours but usually get low pay. However， it is all because of their hard work that we can live and work in a clean environment. Therefore， they deserve our respect.

Then what can we do in return for their hard work？ Actually it is very simple—care for our environment and don't leave rubbish everywhere， especially in public places.

Yours，

听第6段材料，回答第6、7题。

W： I enjoy going through a secondhand bookstore， don't you？ It's interesting to see what people used to enjoy reading. Did you see this old book of children's stories？

M： Some of these books aren't so old， though... See？ This mystery was published only six years ago. It cost seventy-five cents. You can't beat that.

W： Hey！ Look at this！

M： What？ Are you getting interested in nineteenth century poetry all of a sudden？

W： No. Look at the inscription！ Someone gave this book as a present， and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1893. Maybe it's worth something.

M： Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents.

W： But if this is a signature of someone who is well known， it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars.

M： It's much better than last week. It was so warm and wet.

W： It's made of leather.

M： When did you last have it？

M： What's in it？

W： My purse with about 200 yuan， my keys， my cell phone and an address book.

M： Please leave me your name and telephone number so that we can inform you as soon as possible.

W： Thanks a lot.

W： Watching a Japanese film. I'm going to spend all next year in Japan， and I think I should find out more about its culture.

M： You mean you have been accepted into the programme？

W： I sure have.

M： That's wonderful. You must be excited.

W： Excited and nervous. You know I have to work on some basic conversation skills.

M： How much Japanese can you understand？

W： Only a little now. But I'm going to take a special language class next month.

M： I wish I were as clever as you are at foreign languages. I would love to study abroad.

W： Then why don't you？ The school has a lot of programmes that don't require the mastery of a foreign language. You just have to be the kind of person who is quick to learn new things and can get used to a new environment fast.

M： I thought all programmes required one to know a foreign language. Thank you for letting me know this.

聽第10段材料， 回答第17至20题。

Media such as TV， radio and newspapers affect people's shopping behaviour greatly. The most common way is through advertisement. We can see or hear ads everywhere， in the newspapers， in the street， on the buses or on the radio. We are usually interested in these ads and often want to buy the products advertised. This is just what the manufactures hope for. They spend a lot of money to advertise their products through various media. The ads can provide you with a lot of information about the various items. So ads benefit not only manufactures but also shoppers.

In modern society， computers have also become a new medium. People get information about the products on the Internet. This is a faster， easier and more exact way for both shopping and advertising than any other way. The Internet will play an increasingly important role in people's shopping.

第二部分：

I. 1—5 BDBDB 6—10 DACAA

11—15 BCABB

II. 1—5 CAGDF

第三部分：

第一节：

1. C。由上文“a passion for art collecting ... they traveled around the world”可以推測出，他们周游世界是在搜集世界上“最好的”艺术珍品。

2. D。由该段最后一句话“The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a doctor.”可以看出，这里表达的意思是：有一年，随着冬天的来临，“战争”吞没了整个国家，小伙子离开家乡到前线报效国家。

3. C。这里指的是年轻人参军“报效”国家。serve the country报效祖国。save挽救;help帮助;build建设。

4. A。下一句告诉我们，这位父亲在等待更多的关于儿子的消息，担心再也见不到自己的儿子，由此可以看出，电报上只是说儿子失踪了，所以选missing失踪的。

5. B。收到了儿子在战场上失踪的电报，害怕再也见不到儿子，在等待更多消息的心情应该是“不安的”，所以选anxiously。calmly  冷静地;quietly 安静地; secretly秘密地。

6. A。

7. D。由下一句可以看出，他所担心的事情真的发生了，他的儿子牺牲了。所以选confirm（得到）证实。complete 完成;double加倍; remove移开。

8. C。儿子去世了，父亲感到很孤独，所以选lonely孤独的。A项的干扰性很大，但是nervous不安的，和and前的upset意思重复。

9. A。上一句中有选项的名词形式sadness复现。句意：圣诞节的上午，敲门声唤醒了这位（因失去儿子）伤心的老人。

10. B。由来人的自我介绍中的“I was the one he was ____ when he died.” 可以看出，这位来客就是老人的儿子牺牲时救的那个人，再结合第二段的“The young man had died while rushing a fellow soldier to a doctor.”可以看出，他也是一位士兵。故选soldier。下文中“the soldier told of how ...”也提示了答案。

11. D。能够舍身相救，四个选项中只有friend符合语境。

12. A。由第二段的最后一句话可知答案。rescue挽救。

13. C。由语境以及下文的told可以看出，这两个人进行了一些谈话，所以选talk。

14. B。对应第一段的“a passion for art collecting”，所以选love。句意：战士告诉老人，他儿子生前告诉大家他非常热爱艺术品，更不用说他的父亲了。

15. A。好的艺术作品都是艺术家创作的，而战士带来的礼物是战士自己画的，所以他要表达的意思是：我知道你很喜欢艺术珍品，我虽然不是艺术家，但是我画了一幅您儿子的肖像，送给您。所以选artist。

16. B。世界上绝对不会有人认为这是一位天才画家的作品（尽管这幅画画得不是多么好），但是却细致地勾画出了小伙子的面部特征。所以选never。

17. C。in detail详细地。

18. A。收到了别人精心准备的礼物（自己儿子的肖像），自然应该感谢。

19. C。push aside 把……向旁边推。句意：老人把以前收藏的价值连城的艺术品放到了一边，而把儿子的画像挂到了最显眼的位置。

20. B。这里指的是老人收到的礼物——战士送的画像，所以选gift。

第二节：

1. international。根据文章内容，英语为本族语的学生是“国际”学生，作定语要用形容词形式。

2. up。take up the responsibility意为“担起责任”。

3. limited。在English前用形容词作定语。

4. none。结合上下文来看，表示“没有一种课程”管用。

5. an。指看到“一则”广告，表示“一个（块，张等）”用不定冠词。

6. but。表示逻辑转折。文中指免费是有条件的。

7. what。引导宾语从句并在从句中作宾语，用what。

8. without。指两个月后就“不需要”手势就可以理解了。

9. rising。由文意可知，指目前或近阶段每一百户人家中接受外国人居住的数目“正在上升”。

10. not。整篇讲的都是口语，所以，对应的“应试”问题就不能解决了。

第四部分：

第一节：

1. travel→traveling或travel前加to

2. comfortably →comfortable 3. and→but

4. therefore→however 5. any→either 6. own's→own 7. 去掉have 8. on train中间加a 或on→by 9. tired→tiring 10. me→us

第二节：One possible version：

Dear Liveinchina，

I'm Li Hua， one of your students in China. I'd like to give you some suggestions for your problems.

Firstly， try to be as friendly and polite as possible while having lessons. Give them a smile when they are puzzled.

Secondly， try to be patient， saying some magic words such as： “You are a smart boy; You can！” and so on. Never use discouraging words which will hurt them.

Thirdly， change your teaching method. Let the students act out more in your class and this will arouse their interests.

All in all， only when the students are delighted with you can they enjoy your lessons and you will gain a surprising result very soon.

Best wishes！

Yours，

Li Hua
