Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary. Different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts, and other vocations, like farming and fishery, that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary, is very old. It consists largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fiber of our language. Hence, though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally understood, than most other technicalities. The special dialects of law, medicine, divinity, and philosophy have also, in their older strata, become pretty familiar to cultivated persons and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. Yet every vocation still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the mechanic arts. Here new terms are coined with the greatest freedom, and abandoned with indifference when they have served their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined to special discussions, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once were, a close guild （行会）. The lawyer, the physician, the man of science, the divine, associated freely with his fellow-creatures, and does not meet them in a merely professional way. Furthermore, what is called “popular science” makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking about it as in the case of the Roentgen rays and wireless telegraphy. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace. 21.Special words used in technical discussion____. A) never last long B) should be confined to scientific fields C) may become part of common speech D) are considered artificial language speech 22.It is true that____. A) everyone is interested in scientific findings B) the average man often uses in his own vocabulary what was once technical language not meant for him C) an educated person would be expected to know most technical terms D) various professions and occupations often interchange their dialects and jargons 23.In recent years,there has been a marked increase in the number of technical terms in the terminology of____. A) fishery B) farming C) government D) sports 24.The writer of the article was, undoubtedly ____. A) a linguist B) an attorney C) a scientist D) an essayist 25.The author’s main purpose in the passage is to____. A) describe a phenomenon B) propose a solution C) be entertaining D) argue a belief Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: An important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum—a dark, thick ooze（渗出物，分泌物）from the earth—had been known for hundreds of years. But little use had ever been made of it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier, a manufacturer in western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepage and refining it into kerosene. Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material. Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum. The first oil well was drilled by E.L.Drake,a retired railroad conductor.In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville,Pennsylvania.The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it“Drake’s Folly.”But when he had drilled down about 70 feet(21 meters),Drake struck oil.His well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day. 26.According to the passage, many people initially thought that E. L. Drake had made a mistake by ____. A) moving Pennsylvania B) retiring from his job C) searching for oil D) going on a whaling expedition 27.According to the passage, what is “black gold”? A) Gold ore. B) Sstolen money. C) Whale oil. D) Crude oil. 28.Why does the author mention the California gold rush? A) To indicate the extent of United States mineral wealth. B) To argue that gold was more valuable than oil. C) To describe the mood when oil was first discovered. D) To explain the need for an increased supply of gold. 29.The author mentions all of the following as possible products of crude oil EXCEPT____. A) gasoline B) kerosene C) wax D) plastic 30.What might be the best title for the passage? A) Oil Refining: A Historical Perspective. B) Kerosene Lamps: A Light in the Tunnel. C) The California Gold Rush: Get Rich Quickly. D) Private Property: Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted. Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: For about three centuries we have been doing science, trying science out, using science for the construction of what we call modern civilization. Every dispensable item of contemporary technology, from canal locks to dial telephones to penicillin, was pieced together from the analysis of data provided by one or another series of scientific experiments. Three hundred years seems a long time for testing a new approach to human interliving, long enough to settle back for critical appraisal of the scientific method, maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument. Voices have been raised in protest since the beginning, rising in pitch and violence in the nineteenth century during the early stages of the industrial revolution, summoning urgent crowds into the streets any day these days on the issue of nuclear energy. Give it back, say some of the voices, it doesn’t really work, we’ve tried it and it doesn’t work, go back three hundred years and start again on something else less chancy for the race of man. The principle discoveries in this century, taking all in all, are the glimpses of the depth of our ignorance about nature. Things that used to seem clear and rational, matters of absolute certainty-Newtonian mechanics, for example-have slipped through our fingers, and we are left with a new set of gigantic puzzles, cosmic uncertainties, ambiguities; some of the laws of physics are amended every few years, some are canceled outright, some undergo revised versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress. Just thirty years ago we call it a biological revolution when the fantastic geometry of the DNA molecule was exposed to public view and the linear language of genetics was decoded. For a while, things seemed simple and clear, the cell was a neat little machine, a mechanical device ready for taking to pieces and reassembling, like a tiny watch. But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond today’s imagining.It is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do. What lies ahead, or what can lie ahead if the efforts in basic research are continued, is much more than the conquest of human disease or the improvement of agricultural technology or the cultivation of nutrients in the sea. As we learn more about fundamental processes of living things in general we will learn more about ourselves. 31.What can’ t be inferred from the 1st paragraph? A) Scientific experiments in the past three hundred years have produced many valuable items. B) For three hundred years there have been people holding hostile attitude toward science. C) Modern civilization depends on science so man supports scientific progress unanimously. D) Three hundred years is not long enough to settle back critical appraisal of scientific method. 32.The principle discovery in this century shows ____. A) man has overthrown Newton’ s laws of physics B) man has solved a new set of gigantic puzzles C) man has lost many scientific discoveries D) man has given up some of the once accepted theories 33.Now scientists have found in the past few years____. A) the exposure of DNA to the public is unnecessary B) the tiny cell in DNA is a neat little machine C) man knows nothing about DNA D) man has much to learn about DNA 34.The writer’s main purpose in writing the passage is to say that ____. A) science is just at its beginning B) science has greatly improved man’s life C) science has made profound progress D) science has done too little to human beings 35.The writer’s attitude towards science is ____. A) critical B) approving C) neutral D) regretful Passage Four Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: Efforts to educate people about the risks of substance abuse（毒品滥用）seem to deter some people from using dangerous substances, if such efforts are realistic about what is genuinely dangerous and what is not. Observed declines in the use of such drugs as LSD, PCP, and quaaludes since the early 1970s are probably related to increased awareness of the risks of their use, and some of this awareness was the result of warnings about these drugs in “ underground ”papers read by drug users. Such sources are influential, because they do not give a simple “all drugs are terrible for you” message. Drug users know there are big variations in danger among drugs, and antidrug education that ignores or denies this is likely to be ridiculed. This is illustrated by the popularity among young marijuana users of Reefer Madness, a widely unrealistic propaganda film against marijuana made in the 1930s. This film made the rounds of college campuses in the 1970s and joined rock music videos on cable television’s MTV in the 1980s. Instead of deterring marijuana use, it became a cult（风靡一时的）film among users, many of whom got high to watch it. Although persuasion can work for some people if it is balanced and reasonable, other people seem immune to the most reasoned educational efforts. Millions have started smoking even though the considerable health risks of smoking have been well known and publicized for years. Moreover, the usefulness of education lies in primary prevention: prevention of abuse among those who presently have no problem. Hence, Bomier’s contention that “if the Pepsi generation can be persuaded to drink pop wine, they can be persuaded not to drink it while driving” is probably not correct, since most drunken driving is done by people who already have significant drinking problems, and hence seem not to be dissuaded even by much stronger measures such as loss of a driver’s license. 36.According to the passage, up to now, antidrug education____. A) has made all people see the danger of drugs B) has succeeded in dissuading people from using drugs C) has been effective only to a certain degree D) has proved to be a total failure 37.The film “Reefer Madness” mentioned in the passage____. A) effectively deterred marijuana use B) was rejected by young marijuana users C) did not picture the danger of marijuana realistically D) was welcomed by marijuana users because it told them how to get high 38.The message “all drugs are terrible for you” is not influential because____. A) it ignores the fact that drugs vary greatly in danger B) it gives a false account of the risks of drug use C) some drugs are good for health D) it does not appear in underground papers 39.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A) Even balanced and reasonable antidrug persuasion is influential only to some people. B) Most drug users are ignorant of the danger of drugs. C) Punishments such as loss of a driver’s license do not seem to be an effective way to stop drunken driving. D) Primary prevention is a useful principle to be followed in antidrug education. 40.The best title for the passage would be ____. A) Are All Drugs Terrible for You? B) Do People Believe What Underground Papers Say? C) Is There an Increased Awareness of the Risks of Drugs? D) Can Persuasion Reduce Drug Abuse?

For centuries the gypsies have lived as a unfettered people who traveled through half the countries of the world, abiding to their own laws. Scorning discomfort, enduring persecution, accumulating only meager possession, they sacrificed all for their freedom. To be settled people they seemed both fascinating or fearful, while to the gypsies the settling people were equally fearful.Gypsies acquired in ancient times their traditional occupations like smiths and horse traders. They plied their crafts from village to village, presenting entertainments to attract townsmen. So they became musicians, magicians, animal trainers, and acrobats. A folk saying held that when a gypsy woman predicted misfortune it always came fact because she stole something from the victim. The gypsies were known also for the big trick which they deceived the credulous. A typical trick was to convince a peasant to bury his money, promising that it would be multiplied by magic powers; when the peasant returned to dig them up, the money and the gypsies were both gone. The term “gypsy” soon became synonymous with all the robbers and brigands who infested （骚扰）the countryside.

Section B Passage One William Shakespeare was christened in the market town of Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire, on April 26,1564; traditionally, his actual birthday was three days earlier, on St. George’s day, the same day as his death fifty-two years later. His father, John, was a respected middle-class trader, and his mother, Mary Arden, came from a family of local landowners. It seems probable that young William received a fair education (for his day) at the local Grammar School; at the age of eighteen he married a girl eight years older than himself, Anne Hathaway, who gave him a child the following year and twins in 1585. Little else is known of his early life, and so we cannot tell what made him decide to leave Stratford in 1586 for London, where he stayed until 1611. In London he must soon have attracted attention, because by 1592 he was a popular enough writer and actor to be laughed at by an older dramatist as an uneducated Jack of all trades. He is mentioned as being among the principal actors of the city as early as 1598, and in 1599 we find that he is a member of the company running the Globe Theater, with one-tenth interest in the profits-showing a business sense rarely seen in his fellow writers. His popularity is indicated by the fact that not only were his own plays published under his name, which was a rare procedure in his day, but also plays by others are to be found attributed to him, as if to indicate that his name alone would promise a good sale. 11.When did William Shakespeare die? 12.When did Shakespeare and his wife have their first child? 13.Which one can we infer from the article? 14.Which of the following is true? Passage Two Centuries ago, during the Middle Ages, most of the land in Europe was owned by many different kings and queens, princes and princesses, and lords and ladies. They did not all get along. They were always fighting. They all wanted to get more land. To protect themselves, they started building huge homes out of stone. They called their homes castles. A castle was built behind a strong stonewall. The wall was five or six feet thick and ten to twenty feet high. A deep ditch called a moat was dug around the outside of the wall. It was often filled with water, and the only way anyone could enter the castle was to cross a drawbridge. The drawbridge could be raised or lowered over the moat from inside the castle walls. There was also a tunnel that began in the castle and ended at the moat. This was important in case the castle was captured. It allowed the king and queen to escape. They could swim across the moat and hide in the forest. Living in a castle was not very comfortable. The rooms were cold and damp. Every room could have a fire burning in a great fireplace, but until the twelfth century castles did not have chimneys. The smoke from their fireplaces had to go out through open doors and windows. Meals often had ten or twelve courses. The meat might be wild boar or birds that were boiled or roasted over an open fire. All the food was highly seasoned. People even put pepper in their drinks! The people sat at a long table and ate with their fingers and a knife, all picking their food from the same big dish. They had no napkins. Therefore, they often wiped their hands on pieces of bread. When their fingers were clean, they threw the bread to their hunting dogs. 15.Which of the following statements is NOT true about castles? 16.What can be inferred from the people’s eating habit in a castle? 17.What is the main topic of this passage? Passage Three Years ago before there were refrigerators, an icehouse was a building used for storing ice. The first icehouses were in the cellars of farmhouses. Pieces of ice, mixed with snow and meadow grass, were piled in winter and kept until the following summer. Soon farmers began to build separate houses for storing ice. These icehouses had double walls with bay stuffed between to keep out any heat. Blocks of ice were put inside the icehouse and packed with straw or sawdust. Where did the ice for these icehouses come from? Workers took it from a frozen pond or river. They sawed the ice into even blocks. Then they pulled the ice blocks from the water with hooks and carried them to the icehouses on sleds. Special tools helped the workers cut and handle the ice. Ice axes chopped large holes in the ice. Ice saws cut the ice into even blocks. Choppers loosened these blocks from one another. Ice hooks fastened themselves into the large blocks. Then they could be carried over the frozen surface of the pond or river. Tongs were used to pick up the smaller blocks of ice. Ships carried ice all over the world.

Kier的人首次炼出了煤油。它的出现取代了鲸油供人们电灯照明。E. L. Drake是第一个钻井成功的人。他的成功为以后大量的勘探者带来了取之不尽的财富。 26.【答案】C。 【译文】许多人开始时认为E. L. Drake搜寻石油的做法是错误的。 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。 【详细解答】根据文章第三段对该事件的描述，得知E. L. Drake这位退休列车长试图在 Pennsylvania 的Titusville钻井，但旁观者认为其行为很不现实甚至很愚蠢，直到他打到70英尺深处打出石油。因此，答案应是C。 27.【答案】D。 【译文】根据文章内容，black gold（黑色黄金）指的是“原油”。 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。 【详细解答】文章第一段第二句话对原油进行了明确的介绍：原油也叫石油，是地下的一种黑色渗出物。这里的“黑色渗出物”也就是第3段谈到的E. L. Drake试图开采的东西，即第4段所谓的black gold（黑色黄金）。因此，正确答案是D。 28.【答案】C。 【译文】作者提到加州的淘金热，目的是描述石油被首次发现时带给人们的激动情绪。 【试题分析】综合分析推理题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。 【详细解答】文章第4段提到加州淘金热时，原文写道：The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement...意思是说（当时人们投入开采“黑色黄金”的）热潮可以与1848年的加州淘金热相媲美。这显然是为了向读者描述石油被首次发现时带给人们的激动情绪，因此选C。 29.【答案】D。 【译文】作者在文中提到由原油生产出的产品不包括塑料。 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。 【详细解答】根据文章第一段就得知煤油（B. kerosene）是原油提炼出来的；再根据文章最后一段，得知汽油（A. gasoline）和蜡（C. wax）也是由原油生产而来，所以本题的正确答案应是D。 30.【答案】A。 【译文】可以作为本文题目的是：炼油的历史变迁。 【试题分析】综合分析归纳推论题，根据全文内容归纳总结得出答案。 【详细解答】根据全文内容，本文主要是介绍炼油的历史，正确答案是A。选项B, C, D的中心词分别是“煤油灯”、“加州淘金热”、“私有财产”，显然都不妥。 Passage Three 内容概要: 本文讨论的是科学的进步与人类的发展。三百年以来，我们一直在从事各种科学活动，试图利用科学，揭开科学的神秘面纱，从而构建现代文明。但是，科学发展到现在还只是个开端，人类在各项研究方面都需要继续探索和努力，只有这样，人类才能不断提高对自身的认识。 31.【答案】C。 【译文】与第一段内容相悖的是：现代文明依赖科学的发展，因此所有的人都毫无异议地支持科技的进步。 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。 【详细解答】文章第一段提到：...maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not. There is an argument.也就是说，对于将科学继续进行下去，人们观点不一。并且下文就不同的观点进行了详细的阐述，因此答案C是正确的。与之相比较，其他三个选项均是错误的。 32.【答案】D。 【译文】本世纪的主要发现表明，人类已经放弃了某些曾经接受的理论。 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。 【详细解答】见文章第3段，尤其是最后几句话，...some of the laws of physics are amended every few years, some are canceled outright, some undergo revised versions of legislative intent as if they were acts of Congress. 得知人类对理论所采取的做法是修正，摈弃，甚至采取立法手段等，因此正确答案是D。 33.【答案】D。 【译文】在过去的几年里，科学家发现人们对DNA尚需进行继续深入研究。 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。 【详细解答】承接第4段末尾人们对DNA的再认识（But just in the last few years it has become almost unbelievably complex, filled with strange parts whose functions are beyond today’s imagining.），作者在第5段指出了对DNA研究的态度：继续深入地开展下去。由此确定答案为D。 34.【答案】A。 【译文】作者写作此文的目的是说明科学才刚刚起步。 【试题分析】总结归纳题，通过理解全文归纳出答案。 【详细解答】文章的最后一段明确指出，It is not just that there is more to do, there is everything to do.从而清楚地将作者的观点公之于众，那就是说，科学刚刚起步，面前的路还很长很长。因此答案应是A。虽然科学取得了很大进展（C），大大改善了人们的生活（B），但这都不是本文的写作目的。 35.【答案】B。 【译文】作者对待科学的态度是满意的。 【试题分析】综合归纳题，在理解文章主题思想的基础上推理得知答案。 【详细解答】根据全文的主题，作者对待科学的态度不是挑剔（A），中立（C）也不是遗憾（D），而是满意的积极的态度，所以应选择答案B。 Passage Four 内容概要: 本文讨论的人们对滥用毒品采取的态度问题。随着人们对毒品危害性的日益了解，毒品滥用的情况在减少，但“所有毒品都对人有极大危害”的说法显然不具有太大的影响力，因为人们都很明了毒品的毒性是有很大差异的。反毒品教育只是在一定程度上降低了毒品滥用的情况，但这个问题任重道远。 36.【答案】C。 【译文】根据文章内容得知，到目前为止，反毒品教育只是在某种程度上起到了一定的效果。 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。 【详细解答】文章第一段所述，antidrug education既没有完全失败（选项D. a total failure），也不是如选项A，B那样使所有的人都意识到了吸毒的危害，而是Observed declines in the use of such drugs...即在某种程度上了解了其危害，所以只有C是正确的。 37.【答案】C。 【译文】文中提到的Reefer Madness这部电影没有真实地反映大麻的危害。 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。 【详细解答】见文章第一段最后几行，了解到...Reefer Madness, a widely unrealistic propaganda film against marijuana made in the 1930s.也就是说，这部电影是一部相当不真实的反大麻宣传影片，因此正确答案是C。 38.【答案】A。 【译文】“所有的毒品对人的危害都极大”这种说法没有影响力是因为它忽略了毒品在危害性方面差异很大的事实。 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。 【详细解答】见文章第1段中部，Such sources are influential, because they do not give a simple “all drugs are terrible for you” message. Drug users know there are big variations in danger among drugs, and antidrug education that ignores or denies this is likely to be ridiculed.明确得知答案是A。 39.【答案】B。 【译文】大多数吸毒者对毒品的危害都视而不见，这种说法是错误的。 【试题分析】细节辨析题，通过理解原文即可推理得知答案。 【详细解答】见文章第1段中部，Such sources are influential, because they do not give a simple “all drugs are terrible for you” message. Drug users know there are big variations in danger among drugs, and antidrug education that ignores or denies this is likely to be ridiculed. 得知吸毒者了解毒品在危害性上差异很大，因此答案是B。 40.【答案】D。 【译文】本文的题目是：勿滥用毒品——能劝好吗？ 【试题分析】综合归纳题，在理解全文基础上推理得知答案。 【详细解答】根据文章的主题，作者不是解释是否所有的毒品都有害（A），也不是吸毒的危害性是否已经被人所知（C），更不是地下报纸的可信度问题（B），正确答案只能是D。 Part Ⅲ 41.【答案】B。 【译文】财政部长强调，促进国民经济的关键不是产量，而是产品的质量。 【试题分析】短语辨析题，要求后面考生能辨析...than的差别，并能正确使用。 【详细解答】other than 表示“不同于”，“除了”；more than 是“大于”，“多于”，而better than 常指“比……更好”，“胜于”；只有rather than指“不是……（而是……）”，符合本题语境。 42.【答案】C。 【译文】如果人们不必为自己酒后的行为承担责任，那么我们还是原谅那些酒后驾车的司机为好。 【试题分析】本题是考察几个与情态动词相关的习惯用语的使用。 【详细解答】might/may as well 是比较常用但许多考生并不明确的习惯表达，表示have no better reason not to...（没理由不……还是……为好）；没有may well as 这种说法，另外两个短语大多数考生比较熟悉：had better ——最好；would rather——宁可……也不，宁愿。 43.【答案】A。 【译文】要不是大夫赶来，他可能已经死了。 【试题分析】本题测试重点是虚拟语气的使用。 【详细解答】 but for的意思是if not（要是没有，要不是），要求后面跟虚拟语气的谓语。其他三个选项从意思上均说不通。 44.【答案】D。 【译文】这些地区矿产资源贫乏，工业发展滞后，几乎完全依赖农业， 【试题分析】本题测试副词的用法。 【详细解答】四个选项分别为respectively（分别地，各个地）；undoubtedly（毋庸质疑地，的确地）；incredibly（难以置信地）；exclusively（排外地，专有地）。根据句意只能选D。 45.【答案】B。 【译文】很奇怪，艾米长得特别像她姑妈。

【译文】实验接近尾声，即将获得最后的成功。每个人都明白谁都承担不起因一个小差错而毁掉全局的后果。 【试题分析】词语辨析题，主要明确 can’t afford 的含义及用法。 【详细解答】can’t afford 表示“承担不起……的责任/后果”；inflict 后常接on/upon，表示“使……受（痛苦），给……以（打击/惩罚）”；endure也常与cannot等否定词连用，表示“不能容忍/忍受”；而stand 表示“容忍”之意时与endure用法相同。 47.【答案】D。 【译文】老板强调指出，要做一名合格的服务员必须使自己的服务让顾客满意。 【试题分析】本题考察介词的使用。 【详细解答】do sth. to the satisfaction of

【译文】工厂引入自动控制之后，所有由手工进行的工作都将让位于装配线。 【试题分析】本题是短语辨析题，主要考察考生对give way to 与take the place of 等短语/词汇的区别。 【详细解答】give way to （让位于）既包含着take the place of / replace的意思，又不仅仅是take the place of / replace 的意思，它强调了被比较对象的关系，如 A gives way to B 表示“B 取代了A，A 因退步/落后等原因让位于B”。所以本题答案是D。 50.【答案】A。 【译文】游客们正要欣赏壮观的海啸，突然一阵浓雾出现了，整个景色变得一片模糊。 【试题分析】词语辨析题，要求考生能够辨析blur等词语，并学会正确使用。

but...表示“不是……而是……”，其他三个选项均不能和not构成搭配。 53.【答案】A。 【译文】既然你今天晚上不想做饭，我们出去吃怎么样？ 【试题分析】考察考生对inclined, pleased, obliged, apt等词语的习惯用语的实际应用能力。 【详细解答】feel inclined to do sth. 相当于have a wish to do

character（行路的姿态是人的性格的表征）。其他三个选项（image—图象，映像；label—标签，商标；signal—信号）均不适合本句句意。
Part Ⅳ 71.a 改为 an。a 用在以辅音字母或辅音开头的单词之前，an用在以元音字母或元音开头的单词之前。 72.to 改为 by。abide by 是固定用法，表示“坚持，遵守”。 73.possession改为 possessions。因为possession 在句中意为“财产”，应用其复数形式。 74.or改为 and。只有both...and...没有both...or...，both...and...表示“既……又……”。 75.settling改为settled。过去分词表达被动与完成，现在分词表达主动与进行。Settled表示“定居下来的（人们）”。 76.like改为as。句中的as 作介词，表示“例如”。 77.fact改为true。come true 表示“成为事实”，没有come fact 这种表达法。 78.which前加in。句中的which是关系代词，引导定语从句，修饰前面的trick，加上in 句意才完整。 79.convince改为 persuade。convince表示“（已经）信服”，而persuade是指“劝说（某人）使之相信”。根据句意显然应使用后者。 80.them改为it。根据句意此处的代词表示money, 而该词是不可数名词，故应用it。
Part Ⅴ 写作指导： 张国荣的自杀事件引起了大家的关注，就这个话题写一篇英文作文看上去容易，写起来不一定很简单，挖掘出新意来就更难了。一般来讲，就事论事的议论文不要面面俱到，应该选择一个或两个重点，从具体的着眼点进行议论评说。下面的范文以人生的结局为话题，展开对“自杀”的论述，应该说对考生是不无启发的。 参考范文： Is It a Perfect Ending? Some people hear their inner voice of pursuing perfection, including a perfect ending. Such people become triumphant, but they choose to suicide. Mr. Zhang Guorong is among them. Ending never stops fascinating human beings. Ending is the most important part of a story, a period of history, a pursuit, and finally a life. Naturally we have certain kind of curiosity toward the end of our life, but death seems to be out of our reach. Suicide then becomes the fastest and the most convenient way to see the ending, especially for a perfectionist. To some degree, suicide is also a change for the better, at the cost of life. However, suicide doesn’t only cause death. It hurts the feelings of other people still alive. In other words, many broken hearts may become the victims of a released heart. In this sense, suicide is an action without responsibility. One may have his right to die, but he doesn’t have rights to hurt those who love him. Anyway, death is the last and worst solution to any problems, let alone a pursuit for perfection and a temptation to see the ending.
