For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Obesity in Children Obesity in children and adolescents is rising at an alarming rate. Currently over 15% of young people over 6 years old are obese, and obesity is also increasing among children aged 5 and younger. Children are considered to be overweight if the BMI (Body Mass Index) is over 85% of the weight group in their age and sex categories. If it is 95% and over, they are considered to be obese. Adolescents are generally judged according to adult criteria for obesity, although there are other considerations in this population. Ethnic variations, timing of growth spurts, and higher normal fat levels around puberty can cause disparities in these measurements. Causes and Risk Factors for Obesity in Children Lifestyle Factors. Without educational or parental guidance, children are extremely vulnerable to the intense cultural pressures that are largely responsible for the obesity epidemic. Neither the media nor the educational system has strong well-financed programs that encourage healthy-alternatives, including exercise and healthy foods. The following are some specific problems created by the culture: * Excessive television watching plays a critical role in obesity in children. Not only is it a sedentary activity, but television also offers innumerable temptations with its advertisements for fast foods, sugar cereals, and unhealthy snacks. In one study obesity rates were lowest in children who watched television one hour or less a day and highest in those who watched four or more hours. * Sugar, particularly from soda, other sweetened beverages, and fruit juice, may be major contributors to childhood obesity. One study reported that drinking soda regularly increases a child’s risk for obesity by 60%. * Less physical exercise and greater sedentary activities play another significant role in obesity in children. A high level of physical, activity—not just using up energy—is important for weight control in young people. Family History. Parental obesity more than doubles the risk that a young child, whether thin or overweight, will become obese as an adult. In older children and teenagers, obesity in parents starts to count less as a predictor for body weight than their own weight. The risk may be due to environmental or genetic factors, or both. Ethnic and Socioeconomic Factors. As in adult populations, children from lower socioeconomic groups and minority populations are at higher risk for obesity. For example, among young Mexican Americans and African Americans, there has been an increase in overweight prevalence of about 13% to over 23%. Factors Surrounding Birth. The following factors surrounding birth are associated with a child’s weight: * Low birth weight is a risk factor for later obesity and diabetes. One theory is that humans have a “thrifty gene” that produces metabolic changes in infants with low birth weight. Such changes affect insulin and fat accumulation in order to produce a “catch-up” weight in these young children as quickly as possible. This rapid weight gain in infancy increases the gain risk for obesity in children and also in young adulthood. * In a study of African American children, having an overweight pregnant mother increased the risk for later weight gain, but low birth weight did not. Although some small studies have reported protection against obesity from breastfeeding, evidence is weak. In a 2003 study, for example, children who were breast fed for three to five months had a lower risk for obesity, but prolonged breastfeeding had no effect. Nevertheless, given the healthful effects of breast feeding and the possibility that it may have even a slight impact on childhood obesity, it is highly recommended. Health Consequences of Childhood Obesity Children and adolescents who are obese have poorer health than other children. Studies are reporting unhealthy cholesterol levels and high blood pressure in obese children and adolescents. Of great concern is the dramatic increase in type 2 diabetes in young people, which is most certainly largely due to the increase in obesity. Obesity in children is also linked to asthma, gallbladder problems, sleep apnea, and liver abnormalities. Childhood obesity may be partly responsible for the declining age for onset of puberty in girls, with subsequent risks for breast cancer. It is not clear yet how many of these childhood problems persist in people who achieve normal weight as adults. Staying overweight into adulthood certainly confers health risks. Managing Overweight and Obese Children Childhood obesity is best treated by a non-drug, multidisciplinary approach including diet, behavior modification, and exercise. Some evidence suggests that reducing calories by only 200 to 260 per day would prevent weight gain in most overweight children. Here some tips for children who are overweight: * Limit or avoid if possible take-out, fast foods, high-sugar snacks, commercial packaged snacks, soda and sugar sweetened beverages (including too much juice). * Let children snack but make sure the snacks are healthy. Eating small frequent healthy meals (instead of two or three large ones) has been associated with being thinner and having a better cholesterol profile. * Let children choose their own food portions. One study indicated that children naturally ate 25% less than they chose their own portion size. When they were given larger portions their bite sizes were larger and they ate more. * Don’t criticize a child for being overweight. It does not help and such attitudes could put children at risk for eating disorders, which are equal or even greater dangers to health. * Limit television, video games, and computer use to a few hours a week. This can contribute significantly to weight control, regardless of diet and physical activity. * For young children, try the traffic-light diet. Food is designated with stoplight colors depending on their high caloric content: Green for go (low calories); yellow for “eat with caution” (medium calories); red for “stop” (high calories). * Try a low-glycolic index diet. This may be as beneficial and possibly more than a standard reduced-fat diet in obese children. Such a diet focuses on carbohydrates, such as dried beans and soy, that raise blood sugar more slowly than others. This diet is sometimes used in diabetes and as a dietary approach in overweight adults. 1. Overweight children are those whose BMI is over 85% of the weight group in their age and sex categories. 2. The educational system is positive in promoting exercise and healthy foods, according to the passage. 3. It is observed that children watching television one hour or less a day tend to be less likely to suffer from obesity. 4. The intake of sugar among children is an important contributor to childhood obesity. 5. In most cases, obese children tend to have parents suffering obesity, as environmental or genetic factors are the major reasons for childhood obesity. 6. Infants with low birth weight may face a risk for obesity as they grow up into childhood and young adulthood. 7. For obese children, achieving a healthy weight becomes more difficult as they get older, as the persistence is biological. 8. Obese children and adolescents have poorer health, as they are reported to have unhealthy . 9. It is suggested that reducing calories would prevent weight gain in most overweight children. 10. The author believes that it does not help to criticize children for being overweight, as this may increase the risk for. Part ⅣReading Comprehension(Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage. The comparatively treeless plains of North Africa have suffered a progressive drying up, both 47 and man-made, but the region was 48 so rich in fertile soil that the district we now know as the Libyan Desert was, in the old days, part of the granary (粮仓) of the Roman Empire, and the centre of the Sahara 49 a busy trading population for a long period. That was when there were 50 in plenty and the fields were the traditional “fields of the woods” —clearings in the forest—and therefore always tree 51 . It is the trees that lift the water and send 52 into the air so that it may fall as dew or rain further on. Trees reduce the speed of the wind, and provide shelter and shade; the roots 53 minerals in the soil and these are carried to the leaves which, when they have fulfilled their function, return to the earth, giving the soil the combination of minerals that plants require. But through the ages Africa has been 54 . Successive invaders have felled the forest to provide grazing lands for their flocks and herds. With the removal of the essential tree cover, the water 55 was broken, the earth became feverish and sick, and in course of time was unable to support those who had broken the 56 of life by removing the earth’s green mantle—the trees. A) moisture B) cycle C) water D) rhythm E) contain F) trap G) once H) surrounded I) fed J) exploited K) social L) natural M) forest N) usually O) trees Section B Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. 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 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. No one knows when the first calendar was developed. But it seems possible that it was based on lunar months. When people started farming, the sages of the tribes became very important, they studied the sky and gathered enough information to be able to predict when the seasons would change, and were able to announce when it was time to plant crops. The divisions of time we use today were developed in ancient Babylonia 4,000 years ago.Babylonian astronomers believed the sun moved around the Earth every 365 days.They divided the trip into 12 equal parts, each with 30 days. Then they divided each day into 24 equal parts, or hours, and divided each hour into 60 minutes, each minute into 60 seconds. Humans have used many devices to measure time; the sundial (日晷) was one of the earliest and simplest. However, the sundial worked well only when the weather was fine, so other ways of measuring the passing of time were invented. One device was the hourglass(沙漏). By the eighteenth century, people had developed mechanical clocks and watches. So we have devices to mark the passing of time, but what time is it now? Clocks in different parts of the world do not show the same time at the same time, because time on Earth is set by the sun’s positions in the sky above us. As international communications and travel grew, it became clear that a way to establish a common time for all parts of the world was needed. In 1884, an international conference divided the world into 24 time zones, each zone represents one hour. The astronomical observatory in Greenwich, England, was chosen as the starting point for the time zones. Twelve zones are west of Greenwich. Twelve are east. The time at Greenwich measured by the sun is considered by astronomers to be Universal Time, also known as Greenwich Mean Time. 57. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A) The Development of Universal Time. B) Different Ways to Measure Time. C) Why We Measure Time the Way We do. D) How the Calendar Came into being. 58. What does the example of Babylonia astronomers reveal? A) It reveals Babylonians’wisdom that was absent elsewhere. B) It reveals the origin of our time measurements. C) It reveals the limits of sometime measurements. D) It reveals the stability of time measurements. 59. The author mentions all of the following ways to measure time EXCEPT . A) sundial B) hourglass C) electric clock D) mechanical clock 60. According to the passage, Greenwich Mean Time . A) provides a common time for all parts of the world B) is calculated from the sun C) is the 12th of the 24 time zones D) was named after an international conference 61. With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree? A) Time measurements have changed in response to need and technological development. B) In ancient Babylonia, 12 was the basic division of time. C) The first calendar was developed because the sages of tribes were intelligent. D) Universal Time is so named because it is applicable throughout the universe. Passage Two Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage. For many years, scientists couldn’t figure out how atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living things. Plants, fish, dinosaurs, and people are made of atoms and molecules, but they are put together in a more complicated way than the molecules in the primitive ocean. What’s more, living things have energy and can reproduce, while the chemicals on the Earth 4 billion years ago were lifeless. After years of study, scientists figured out that living things, including human bodies, are basically made of amino acids and nucleotide bases. These are molecules with millions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. How could such complicated molecules have been formed in the primitive soup? Scientists were stumped. Then, in 1953, two scientists named Harold Urey and Stanley L. Miller did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth. They set up some tubes and bottles in a closed loop, and put in some of the same gases that were present in the atmosphere 4 billion years ago: water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen. Then they shot an electric spark through the gases to simulate bolts of lightning on the ancient Earth, circulated the gases through some water, sent them back for more sparks, and so on. After seven days, the water that the gases had been bubbling through had turned brown. Some new chemicals were dissolved in it. When Miller and Urey analyzed the liquid, they found that it contained amino acids—the very kind of molecules found in all living things. 62. When did scientists come to realize how the atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living thing? A) 4 billion years ago. B) In 1953. C) After seven days. D) Many years later. 63. Scientists figured out that human bodies are basically made of . A) amino acids B) molecules C) hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms D) water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen 64. Harold Urey and Stanley L.Miller did their experiment in order to . A) find out what had happened on the Earth 4 billion years ago B) simulate bolts of lightning on the ancient Earth C) dissolve some new chemicals D) analyze a liquid 65. At the end of the last paragraph, the word “it” refers to . A) a closed loop B) an electric spark C) water D) the liquid 66. According to the writer, living things on the Earth include . A) atoms and molecules B) chemicals Part ⅤCloze(15 minutes) Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Some have sufficient faith that the paid holidays will improve the current tourism pattern. The new holiday scheme will give people more choices to make their holiday plans and thus it will greatly alleviate the pressure of transportation departments, security bodies, shopping malls, ect. during the current holiday boom. Other people wonder if the new system will be available. It is likely to be a dream to have a paid holiday. Because the problem is that many people don’t dare to take long vacations. Competition is fierce. Nobody can afford a long holiday and leave the boss with an impression of not working as hard as others. For me, I think it is necessary for, in future, the state to issue a regulation concerning Chinese workers-paid holidays. Stregthen the employers’ sense of the paid holidays. If they did so voluntarily, it will attract and retain employees. With these measures, it is expected that more employees in China are entitled to receive holiday pay for time off. Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) 1. Y 细节题根据信号词“BMI, 85%”寻读到第二段第一句。题干说超重的孩子是指那些在他们年龄和性别范畴内BMI超过重量群85%的孩子。题干与原文相符。 2. N 细节题根据信号词 “educational system”寻读到文章第三段，作者指出媒体或教育体系都没有采用强势的项目来鼓励健康的选择，包括锻炼和健康食物。题干说根据这篇文章，教育体系在促进锻炼和健康饮食上是积极的，故题干是错误的。 3. Y 细节题本题的信号词是 “watching television”。题干说据观察孩子每天看电视一小时或更少将更有可能远离肥胖。根据第四段最后一句：在一个研究中发现，每天看一个小时或更少电视的孩子肥胖率最低，但是每天看四个小时或更长时间电视的孩子肥胖率最高。故题干是正确的。 4. Y 细节题题干说糖的摄人是孩童期导致肥胖的重要原因。文中Lifestyle Factors下第二点中作者明确指出糖是导致孩子肥胖的重要原因。 5. Y 细节题本题的信号词是 “environmental, genetic factors”。题干说在多数情况下，肥胖孩子的父母也常常承受肥胖的痛苦，因为环境或基因的因素也是孩童时期肥胖的主要原因。依据Lifestyle Factors下第三点中讲到的父母肥胖对孩子的影响，可知题干与原文相符。 6. Y 细节题本题的信号词是 “Infants, birth weight”。题干说出生分量轻的婴儿当他们成长到孩童或青少年时期也许会面临肥胖的危险。依据文章第二节 (Causes and Risk Factors for Obesity in Children)里Factors Surrounding Birth下第一点：体重轻的婴儿长大以后可能会身体肥胖并患有糖尿病，可知题干与原文相符。 7. NG 综合判断题题干说随着年龄的增长，肥胖的孩子获得一个健康的重量会更难，因为存在生物学的惯性。在整篇文章中，作者没有提及这点。 8. cholesterol levels and high blood pressure 细节题本题的信号词是 “adolescents, unhealthy”。本题问肥胖的孩子和青少年身体更差，据报道，比如他们有哪些疾病。解题依据第二个小标题下第二句：Studies are reporting cholesterol levels and high blood pressure in obese children and adolescents。 9. by only 200 to 260 per day 细节题题干问减少多少卡路里能够阻止大部分超重儿童增重。解题依据第三个小标题下第一段第二句：一些证据建议每天减少200至260的卡路里可以阻止重量获取。 10. eating disorders 细节题作者在文章最后阐述了一些控制肥胖的技巧，其中第四项就是不要批评那些肥胖的孩子，这不但起不了帮助作用并且可能会增加儿童饮食紊乱的几率。由此得出答案：eating disorders。 Part ⅣReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) Section A 47. L 该空内容要求与后面的man-made对应，并且二者由both…and连接。 48. G 根据语法结构要求，该空要求填入一个副词，根据上下文意思应该选择once。 49. I 该空应填入动词，根据上下文应选择fed，意思为“供养了(一个从事经商的民族)”。 50. O 根据上下文应该选择“trees”。There were trees in plenty.(那儿生长着大量的树木。) 51. H 根据上下文，应该填入surrounded。 52. A “send moisture into the air”意思是“将水分送往空中”。 53. F “…the roots trap minerals”意思是“树根可以留住矿物质”。 54. J exploit在此意思为“开发”。 55. B 选择cycle构成water cycle(水的循环)。 56. D the rhythm of life意思为“生活的节奏”。 Section B Passage One 57. C 主旨题本文共三段。第一段讲日历起源之因;第二段讲作为现代时间概念的基础，古巴比伦如何划分年月日时分秒;第三段提及先后出现的测量时间的各种工具，并讲述“世界时”如何顺应时代发展而产生。A)，B)和D)项都只概括了本文的部分内容，只有C)项是对全文的总结。 58. B 综合判断题C)项在文章中没有提及,D)项不正确。本文的主题是计时方式的发展，并未强调某个民族智慧过人，A)项也不正确。 59. C 细节题根据题干可定位于第三段前半部分，答案是C。 60. B 细节题解题依据是“The time at Greenwich measured by the sun is…”。不过考生不一定留意了这个后置定语。相反，受“Twelve zones are west of Greenwich. Twelve are east.”的影响，可能会误选C)项。其实，这里是24个时区的“the starting point”,也就是第一个时区。 61. A 综合判断题C)项提到的日历出现就是其中一个例证，第三段还提到sundial, hourglass, mechanical clocks and watches和Greenwich Mean Time的出现，这都是随着人类社会发展的需要出现的。C)项错在将日历出现归因于一小部分人的高智商，真正的原因其实是“When people started farming…”。此外，Universal Time并非全宇宙通用，它只适用于全球24个时区，故D)项也不正确。 Passage Two 62. B 细节题从文中第三段可知：“Then, in 1953, two scientists…did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth.”这说明从1953年起，人类才开始弄明白地球上的生物是怎样由原子和分子结合而产生的。因此B)是正确选项。 63. A 细节题答案从第二段开头可直接找到：“…， scientists figured out that living things, including human bodies, are basically made of amino acids and nucleotide bases.” 64. A 细节题答案第三段中直接给出：“…， Harold. Urey and Stanley L. Miller did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth.” 紧接着作者又指出是在“…4 billion years ago…”。 65. D 语义辨析题见原文最后一句话：“When Miller and Urey analyzed the liquid, they found that it contained…”。“当米勒和尤里对液体进行分析时，他们发现它包含有……”。很明显it指的就是从句里的liquid。 66. C 综合判断题文中第一段第二句话暗示了该题答案：“Plants, fish, dinosaurs, and people are made of atoms and molecules…”。 Part ⅤCloze 67. B 此处需要填一个谓语，从下一句可以看出，本句应该是过去时态，所以B)项正确。 68. C 此处需填一个表示过去的副词，C)ago指从现在算起若干时间以前，和动词一般过去时一同使用。符合原文表达要求，为正确答案。 69. A 耳聋和年老有因果关系。B)because后只能跟从句，做原因状语，不符合原文结构要求。because of后则跟名词或名词性短语，符合结构要求。C)at和D)in均不能和old age连用。 70. A 此处需填一个词引导后面的从句，表示突然出现的情况，四个选项中只有when可以，故选[A]。 71. D A)fell “落下，降落”，指物体从上到下的垂直运动，用于此处，搭配不当。blew “(风)吹、刮”，用于此处，也属搭配不当。C)formed “形成”，指事物经历一个发展过程之后，最终形成，这与原文所表达的意义不相符。故此，approached更合适，所以D)项为正确答案。 72. C 在树下躲雨，故用“under a tree”。 73. B C)fallen “摔倒”，A)thrown “扔”，强调动作施者所做的“扔”的动作。D)beaten “打，敲”，强调“打”的具体动作，一般用于具体意义。B)knocked “敲、击、打”，既可用于具体的，又可用于抽象的“打击，击倒”，用于此处，符合原文表达需要，故B)项为正确答案。 74. B A)just “刚好”，表达过于精确，不符合上下文。C)for后跟一段时间，表达动作的持续过程，如果用于此处，则later不能有，因此也不能用。D)within “在……内”，表达过于精确。B)some “大约”，同about。符合原文表达，因此B)项为正确答案。 75. D 主句的伴随状语，表示一种伴随的动作或状态，一般用分词或分词短语。A)to lie是动词不定式，不能做伴随状语。C)lay是动词lie的一般过去式，不能做伴随状语。B)having lain是现在分词的完成体，不能做伴随状语。D)lying是动词lie的现在分词形式，符合原文要求。故D)项为正确答案。 76. A 此处应为两个并列分句描述两个动作。因此B)when，D)while被排除。两个动作之间并无转折关系，所以C)but也被排除。A)and为正确答案。 77. C 由于他以前双目失明，而现在突见光明，所以此处应填一个转折连词。A)Thus “这样”;B)Therefore “因此”;D)Above all “首先”。均不是转折连词。C)But “但是，然而”，转折连词，为正确答案。 78. A D)out of “在……外部”。钟表不可能挂在屋子外，故首先排除。C)into “到……里”，着重表示动作的方向，用于此处不恰当。B)through “穿过”，着重指物体从某一空间中间穿过。A)across “在对面”。符合原文表达要求，为正确答案。 79. B C)Whenever “无论何时”，用于此处，与原表达意义不符。A)While,B)When,D)As都有“当……的时候”的意思。as着重表示从句动作与主句动作同时发生，持续时间不长。据此分析，as用于此处不当。when可以表示主句动作发生在从句之后，符合原文表达需要。因此B)项为正确答案。 80. D 联系上文，此处应为“恢复，再得到”。A)gained “得到”;B)gotten “获得”。C)reminded “使回忆起……，提醒……”。D)regained “重新得到”，符合句意，为正确答案。 81. C A)at “在(某一时间、地点)”;B)in “在(地点、时间)里面”;D)on “在……上面，在(某一天)”，均无此意。C)from “从……(中得到，获益)”。符合句意。 82. B 这里指的是解释原因，因此只有B)reason “原因”符合句意。A)result “结果”;C)consequence “后果”;D)content “内容”。均无此意。 83. A B)contributed “贡献，捐献”。C)sought(seek的过去式)“寻找”，同look for,强调找的过程，不能表示结果。联系下文用于此处不当。D)thought “思考，想”，用于此处，意思表达欠妥。A)offered “提供，提出”，用于此处意思准确，结构正确，是正确答案。 84. D A)because of “因为、由于”;B)owing to “由于”。强调“原因和结果的关系”，把“猛烈的打击”说成“失明的原因”，似乎过于牵强。C)based on “以……为基础”，与原文表达不符。D)as a result of “由于……的结果”，强调“某事(行动等)引起的结果。 85. B A)restore,C)have restored主动结构，不能用于此处。D)have been restored被动语态完成体表示动作已完成。既已完成，就不存在“可能(perhaps)”，因此D)项用于此处不当。B)be restored被动结构，一般式，符合原表达要求，是正确答案。 86. C D)one “一次”，用于此处意思不当。A)other “别的，其他的”，其后常跟复数形式。用于此处，搭配不正确。B)the other表示二者中的另一个。用于此处，意思表达有误。C)another表示不定数目中的另一个。用于此处，意思准确，为正确答案。 Part ⅥTranslation 87. increased by 27% 88. would have left for London 89. separating the fact from the fiction 90. as much time 91.

B 细节题解题依据是“The time at Greenwich measured by the sun is…”。不过考生不一定留意了这个后置定语。相反，受“Twelve zones are west of Greenwich. Twelve are east.”的影响，可能会误选C)项。其实，这里是24个时区的“the starting point”,也就是第一个时区。 61. A 综合判断题C)项提到的日历出现就是其中一个例证，第三段还提到sundial, hourglass, mechanical clocks and watches和Greenwich Mean Time的出现，这都是随着人类社会发展的需要出现的。C)项错在将日历出现归因于一小部分人的高智商，真正的原因其实是“When people started farming…”。此外，Universal Time并非全宇宙通用，它只适用于全球24个时区，故D)项也不正确。 Passage Two 62. B 细节题从文中第三段可知：“Then, in 1953, two scientists…did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth.”这说明从1953年起，人类才开始弄明白地球上的生物是怎样由原子和分子结合而产生的。因此B)是正确选项。 63. A 细节题答案从第二段开头可直接找到：“…， scientists figured out that living things, including human bodies, are basically made of amino acids and nucleotide bases.” 64. A 细节题答案第三段中直接给出：“…， Harold. Urey and Stanley L. Miller did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth.” 紧接着作者又指出是在“…4 billion years ago…”。 65. D 语义辨析题见原文最后一句话：“When Miller and Urey analyzed the liquid, they found that it contained…”。“当米勒和尤里对液体进行分析时，他们发现它包含有……”。很明显it指的就是从句里的liquid。 66. C 综合判断题文中第一段第二句话暗示了该题答案：“Plants, fish, dinosaurs, and people are made of atoms and molecules…”。 Part ⅤCloze 67. B 此处需要填一个谓语，从下一句可以看出，本句应该是过去时态，所以B)项正确。 68. C 此处需填一个表示过去的副词，C)ago指从现在算起若干时间以前，和动词一般过去时一同使用。符合原文表达要求，为正确答案。 69. A 耳聋和年老有因果关系。B)because后只能跟从句，做原因状语，不符合原文结构要求。because of后则跟名词或名词性短语，符合结构要求。C)at和D)in均不能和old age连用。 70. A 此处需填一个词引导后面的从句，表示突然出现的情况，四个选项中只有when可以，故选[A]。 71. D A)fell “落下，降落”，指物体从上到下的垂直运动，用于此处，搭配不当。blew “(风)吹、刮”，用于此处，也属搭配不当。C)formed “形成”，指事物经历一个发展过程之后，最终形成，这与原文所表达的意义不相符。故此，approached更合适，所以D)项为正确答案。 72. C 在树下躲雨，故用“under a tree”。 73. B C)fallen “摔倒”，A)thrown “扔”，强调动作施者所做的“扔”的动作。D)beaten “打，敲”，强调“打”的具体动作，一般用于具体意义。B)knocked “敲、击、打”，既可用于具体的，又可用于抽象的“打击，击倒”，用于此处，符合原文表达需要，故B)项为正确答案。 74. B A)just “刚好”，表达过于精确，不符合上下文。C)for后跟一段时间，表达动作的持续过程，如果用于此处，则later不能有，因此也不能用。D)within “在……内”，表达过于精确。B)some “大约”，同about。符合原文表达，因此B)项为正确答案。 75. D 主句的伴随状语，表示一种伴随的动作或状态，一般用分词或分词短语。A)to lie是动词不定式，不能做伴随状语。C)lay是动词lie的一般过去式，不能做伴随状语。B)having lain是现在分词的完成体，不能做伴随状语。D)lying是动词lie的现在分词形式，符合原文要求。故D)项为正确答案。 76. A 此处应为两个并列分句描述两个动作。因此B)when，D)while被排除。两个动作之间并无转折关系，所以C)but也被排除。A)and为正确答案。 77. C 由于他以前双目失明，而现在突见光明，所以此处应填一个转折连词。A)Thus “这样”;B)Therefore “因此”;D)Above all “首先”。均不是转折连词。C)But “但是，然而”，转折连词，为正确答案。 78. A D)out of “在……外部”。钟表不可能挂在屋子外，故首先排除。C)into “到……里”，着重表示动作的方向，用于此处不恰当。B)through “穿过”，着重指物体从某一空间中间穿过。A)across “在对面”。符合原文表达要求，为正确答案。 79. B C)Whenever “无论何时”，用于此处，与原表达意义不符。A)While,B)When,D)As都有“当……的时候”的意思。as着重表示从句动作与主句动作同时发生，持续时间不长。据此分析，as用于此处不当。when可以表示主句动作发生在从句之后，符合原文表达需要。因此B)项为正确答案。 80. D 联系上文，此处应为“恢复，再得到”。A)gained “得到”;B)gotten “获得”。C)reminded “使回忆起……，提醒……”。D)regained “重新得到”，符合句意，为正确答案。 81. C A)at “在(某一时间、地点)”;B)in “在(地点、时间)里面”;D)on “在……上面，在(某一天)”，均无此意。C)from “从……(中得到，获益)”。符合句意。 82. B 这里指的是解释原因，因此只有B)reason “原因”符合句意。A)result “结果”;C)consequence “后果”;D)content “内容”。均无此意。 83. A B)contributed “贡献，捐献”。C)sought(seek的过去式)“寻找”，同look for,强调找的过程，不能表示结果。联系下文用于此处不当。D)thought “思考，想”，用于此处，意思表达欠妥。A)offered “提供，提出”，用于此处意思准确，结构正确，是正确答案。 84. D A)because of “因为、由于”;B)owing to “由于”。强调“原因和结果的关系”，把“猛烈的打击”说成“失明的原因”，似乎过于牵强。C)based on “以……为基础”，与原文表达不符。D)as a result of “由于……的结果”，强调“某事(行动等)引起的结果。 85. B A)restore,C)have restored主动结构，不能用于此处。D)have been restored被动语态完成体表示动作已完成。既已完成，就不存在“可能(perhaps)”，因此D)项用于此处不当。B)be restored被动结构，一般式，符合原表达要求，是正确答案。 86. C D)one “一次”，用于此处意思不当。A)other “别的，其他的”，其后常跟复数形式。用于此处，搭配不正确。B)the other表示二者中的另一个。用于此处，意思表达有误。C)another表示不定数目中的另一个。用于此处，意思准确，为正确答案。 Part ⅥTranslation 87. increased by 27% 88. would have left for London 89. separating the fact from the fiction 90. as much time 91.
