The problem is that she did the same in the opposite direction.‎ He and Anna even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights.‎ Anna, heartbroken when she arrived at Eddy’s Sydney flat to find he had flown to London, told The Times: “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us.”‎ ‎“He is the most romantic person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(冲动) people. We are always trying to surprise each other.”‎ After an 11 000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Eddy’s astonished roommate asking what she was doing there.‎ Eddy, a 27-year-old engineer, had taken a year off to travel round Australia. But he was missing Anna, a 26-year-old secretary, so much that he got a job on a Sydney building site(工地) and started saving for a surprise.‎ He then flew home to Britain and went to her flat armed with an engagement(订婚) ring, wine and flowers.‎ ‎“I really missed Anna and I’d been thinking about her all the time. I was so excited when she phoned me from Australia,” he said.‎ Eddy then asked Anna to marry him on the phone. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted,” she said.‎ Anna was given a tour of Sydney by Eddy’s friends before going back home. Eddy ‎ had to stay in Britain for two weeks because he could not change his ticket.‎ ‎25. What does the last sentence of the first paragraph tell us?‎ A. Anna flew to Britain from Australia to propose to him.‎ B. Anna flew to Australia from Britain to propose to him.‎ C. Anna flew to Britain from Australia to marry him.‎ D. Anna flew to Australia from Britain to marry him.‎ ‎26. The underlined word “miss” in paragraph 2 most probably means .‎ A. fail to meet B. fail to understand C. escape from D. long to see ‎27. Eddy got a job on a Sydney building site because he .‎ A. was an engineer at this building site B. wanted to travel round Australia C. hoped to make money from this job D. needed money to pay his daily cost ‎28. Which of the following is TRUE about Eddy and Anna according to the text?‎ ‎ A. Eddy met Anna in the airport waiting room by chance.‎ ‎ B. Eddy proposed to Anna on the phone and Anna accepted.‎ ‎ C. Anna had a good time touring Sydney with Eddy.‎ ‎ D. Anna stayed in Australia waiting for Eddy’s arrival.‎ C Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts(购物手推车) more intelligent. They will help shoppers find paper cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill.‎ The touch-screen devices(触摸屏装置) are on show at the Food Marketing Institute’s exhibition here this week. “These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker,” said Michael Alexandor, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc., which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge.‎ Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July. A similar device, IBM’s “Shopping Buddy”, has recently been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts.‎ Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale. The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf.‎ ‎“The whole model is driven by advertisers’ need to get in front of shoppers,” said ‎ Alexandor. “They’re not watching 30-second TV ads anymore.”‎ People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists. Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system that will organize the trip around the store. If you’re looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them.‎ The device also keeps a record of what you buy. When you’re finished, the device figures out your bill. Then you go to the checker or place your card into a self-checkout stand and pay.‎ The new computerized shopping assistants don’t come cheap. The Buddy devices will cost the average store about $ 160 000, and the Concierge will cost stores about $ 500 for each device.‎ ‎29. The underlined word “They” (paragraph 1) refers to .‎ ‎ A. supermarkets B. shop assistants C. shopping carts D. shop managers ‎30. We can learn from the last paragraph that .‎ ‎ A. intelligent shopping carts cost a large sum of money ‎ B. the Concierge is cheaper than the Buddy devices ‎ C. shop assistants with computer knowledge are well paid ‎ D. average stores prefer the Concierge to the Buddy devices ‎31. What might be the most suitable title for the text?‎ ‎ A. New age for supermarkets ‎ B. Concierge and Shopping Buddy ‎ C. New computers make shopping carts smarter ‎ D. Touch-screen devices make shopping enjoyable D ‎ When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money?‎ What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.‎ Certainly, most of the world's great religions(宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed? Maybe what was morally(道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.‎ First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil(罪行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.‎ Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.‎ It is hard to come to any final conclusion: there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few corns can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.‎ ‎32. What is mainly discussed in the passage?‎ ‎ A. Moral deeds of people. B. Religious activties of the church.‎ ‎ C. Moral goodness of the giver. D. Arguments on giving to beggars.‎ ‎33. What can we infer from the sentence “But has the world changed?” in the third paragraph?‎ ‎ A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.‎ ‎ B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.‎ ‎ C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.‎ ‎ D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.‎ ‎34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?‎ ‎ A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.‎ ‎ B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.‎ ‎ C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.‎ ‎ D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.‎ ‎35. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because .‎ ‎ A. the cases can be so different B. there are so many beggars C. there is so much money wasted D. there are so many different arguments 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm. Especially in the winter we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, 36 ‎ ‎ 37 It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from a kind of throat illness, and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. 38 Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. ‎ ‎ 39 First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your taste in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising—and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.‎ ‎ Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. 40 ‎ A. One big disadvantage is money.‎ B. Of course there are advantages.‎ C. Besides, I was used to the city life.‎ D. Then there is the problem of traveling round.‎ E. I can remember the life on the farm forever.‎ F. I certainly hope to move back to the countryside soon.‎ G. I soon discovered that my life has its disadvantage too.‎ ‎第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ One man was to meet his wife downtown and spend some time shopping with her.

A [解析]由于情况不同，很难做出最后的结论。‎ ‎ 文章中作者分析了城市活和乡村生活的优势和不足。‎ ‎36．G 第一段介绍了作者十分向往城市的生活，所以毕业之后马上就到那里去了。而此空前使用了however，表示后面的意思与前面的不一致，再结合后面的就知道：城市生活也有一些 缺点。‎ ‎37．A 根据后面的cost，表示的是关于钱的问题。‎ ‎38．D 从此空后面说作者很少用车，就知道前面的句子应该是关于交通的问题。‎ ‎39．B 根据文章后面的意思，作者要说的是在城市里也用一些好处。‎ ‎40．F 根据文章前后的对比：年轻的时候住在城市，而年龄大的时候，乡村的平静也许是最受欢迎的。所以作者也就说出了自己的想法：“我”当然希望不久能够回到乡村去。‎ ‎【语篇解读】有一句英语格言是Patience is a kind of virtue，（有耐心是一种美德。）本文作者在前三段介绍了一位没有耐心的丈夫由于妻子的失约而照了几张非常气愤的照片（此照片一定很丑，丑到连他自己看到照片都感到吃惊），托人转交给他妻子以示不满，他的妻子每每被闯及是否结婚，她都会拿出她丈夫留给她的那几张照片。文章自第四段到结束告诉人们，人人都需要有耐心，耐心的培养是“修身”的一部分。‎ ‎41．C 从下句“他不耐烦地又等了15分钟”可推断出在开始的15分钟中，这位丈夫应是耐心的。‎ ‎42．A 由西方风俗，一个人失约达30分钟会使人感到气愤。‎ ‎43．D 句意：当他看到附近的一家照相亭，他想了一个（鬼）主意，想“教训”一下他的妻子。‎ ‎44．B 在这位丈夫等了半个小时感到很生气的情况下，想照表情不悦的照片应该不是非常困难的。‎ ‎45．D 由于丈夫本人已经很生气了，再加上他故意想让他妻子知道他当时气愤的程度，所以照出的照片难看程度连他自己都感到吃惊。‎ ‎46．A 根据当时的情景、环境，他不可能托过路人（passer-by）也不会托朋友（friend）转交给他那姗姗来迟的妻子，小小照相亭里也不会有秘书（secretary），因此被排除。只有A项（职员）在此语境更加合理。‎ ‎47．D 根据引号中的句子内容，很容易推断出前半句表示条件，故D正确。‎ ‎48．A 根据语境，可推测出当他的妻子来到约会地点，见他不在一定会找他。‎ ‎49．B 一切安排妥当后，他回到了自己工作的地方。‎ ‎50．C 如果一张照片相当于一千字（的抱怨语），那么四张照片就相当于一个演讲稿的（表抱怨的）字数，想到这里，丈夫为自己的“小聪明”感到沾沾自喜，故C正确。‎ ‎51．D 见50题的解析。‎ ‎52．B 根据下句内容，可推测出妻子把丈夫转交给她的那四张照片保存了下来。‎ ‎53．C 本句为过渡句，作者在此对读者进行提问，由于通篇文章都是以patience为中心的，故C正确。‎ ‎54．B 根据行文逻辑，四个选项中只有B项与文章主题（patience）关系最密切。‎ ‎55．D 句意：耐心是一个非常重要的品质，它可以使人们的生活幸福、有意义。 ‎ ‎56．B 句意：毕竟有些事情是值得等待的。‎ ‎57．C 句意：每天都会有很多机会使人们训练“等”的能力。‎ ‎58．A 根据后面的or even good at it可推测出A为正确答案，因为B、C、D三项与本句在逻辑上不相符。‎ ‎59．A 句意：一件事情是肯定的，即人人都不能避开“等待”。‎ ‎60．D 本段中主题为waiting，又根据倒数第三段第二句人们给patience下的定义，可知作者在问读者对waiting的训练进展。‎ 听力原文：‎ ‎(Text1)‎ W: Susan has been ill for a few days.

We haven’t enjoyed ourselves so much for a long time. I have to say, the journey home was a bit of a nightmare, though. It took us almost 25 hours in the end. Despite having your very clear instructions, we managed to get lost trying to get out of Paris and ended up driving towards Normandy instead of Calais. By the time we got back on the right road, we’d missed the ferry and had to wait for the next one. Then we got caught in this awful storm, so we were delayed even more. In the end, we didn’t leave Calais till two o’clock in the morning. We were all terribly seasick because of the rough sea. I knew we should have got the Eurostar train. We got into Dover at around four o’clock, so there was hardly any traffic. Because we were almost the only people on the motorway, we were racing along,when, would you believe it, we broke down! We called out the emergency service, but we had to wait almost an hour. When he got there, he decided he couldn’t repair the car on the motorway, so he pulled us the rest of the way to Orpington. As you can imagine, we were absolutely exhausted by the time we got home, but we both had to go straight into work that day. I was so tired that I fell asleep in a meeting. It was quite embarrassing. I can tell you! Anyway, thanks again for everything. I’ll phone you again. I’m off to bed now.‎
