Part I Writing (30 minutes)
1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Online Chat ting. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below: 1. 在线聊天的优点。 2．在线聊天的缺点。 3．我的观点。
正确答案： Online Chatting Online chatting, as a new way of communication, has become more and more popular, especially with the youngsters. They make friends, exchange information and air their views freely through it. They regard it as a relaxation, for they think it’s easy to talk with a stranger online. And some students even think they can practise their oral English by chatting in English this way. Some people, however, hold quite different opinions. They think it’s a waste of time, especially for students. Spending too much time chatting online will make them addicted to it and affect their study. Furthermore, some unhealthy information may corrupt young Internet users. I think, just like everything else, online chatting has both advantages and disadvantages, and we should not steer away from it because of its negative effects. What we should do is to reduce the negative effects to the minimum and make online chatting our valuable assistant.

It was a moment most business executives would pause to savor: late last year, German sporting goods pioneer Adidas learned that after years of declining market share, the company had sprinted past U. S. Reebok International to take second place behind Nike in the race for worldwide sales. But Robert Louis-Dreyfus, the rumpled Frenchman who now runs Adidas, didn’t even stop for one of his trade mark Havana cigars in celebration, worried that the company would grow complacent. Instead, he and a group of friends bought French soccer club Olympique de Marseille “Now that’s something I have dreamed about since I was a kid, ‘ Louis-Dreyfus says with an adolescent grin. A sports addict who claims he hasn’t missed attending a soccer World Cup final since the 1970s or the Olympic Games since 1968, the
50-year-old Louis-Dreyfus now is eminently well placed to live out many of his boyhood fantasies. Not only has he turned Adidas into a global company with market capitalization of $ 4 billion (he owns stock worth $ 250 million), but he also has endorsement contracts with a host of sports heroes from tennis great Steffi Graf to track’s Donovan Bailey, and considers it part of the job to watch his star athletes per form on the field, “There are very few chances in life to have such fun,” he says. With sales in the first three quarters of 1996 at $ 2.5 billion, up a blistering 30.7% over 1995, it’s hard to recall the dismal shape Adidas was in when Louis-Dreyfus took over as chairman in April 1993. Founded in 1920 by Adi Dassler, the inventor of the first shoes de signed especially for sports, the company enjoyed a near monopoly in athletic shoes until an upstart called Nike appeared in the 1970s and rode the running fad to riches. By the early 1990s Adidas had come under the control of French businessman Bernard Tapie, who was later jailed for bribing three French soccer players. Al though the company tried to spruce up its staid image with a team of American designers, Adidas lost more than $100 million in 1992, prompting the French banks that had acquired control of the company from Tapie to begin a desperate search for a new owner. Louis-Dreyfus, scion of a prominent French trading dynasty with an M. B. A. from Harvard, earned a reputation as a doctor to sick companies after turning around London-based market research firm IMS--a feat that brought him more than $10 million when the company was eventually sold. He later served as chairman of Saatchi ~ Saatchi, then the world’s largest ad agency, which called him in when rapid growth sent profits into a tailspin. With no other company or entrepreneur willing to gamble on Adidas, Louis-Dreyfus got an incredible bargain from the banks., he and a group of friends from his days at IMS contributed just $10, 000 each in cash and signed up for $100 million in loans for 15% of the company, with an option to buy the remainder at a fixed price 18 months later. The poker-loving Louis-Dreyfus knew he had been dealt a winning hand. Following the lead set by Nike in the 1970s, he moved production to low-wage factories in China, Indonesia and Thailand and sold Adidas’ European factories for a token one Deutsche mark apiece. He hired Peter Moore, a former product designer at Nike, as creative director, and set up studios in Germany for the European market and in Portland, Oregon, for the U. S. He then risked everything by doubling his advertising budget. “We went from a manufacturing company to a marketing company, “says Louis-Dreyfus. “It didn’t take a genius--you just had to look at what Nike and Reebok were doing. It was easier for someone coming from the outside, with no baggage, to do it, than for somebody from inside the company.” Just as the transition was taking place, Adidas had a run of good luck. The fickle fashion trendsetters decided in early 1993 that they wanted the “retro look, “and the three-stripes Adidas logo, which had been overtaken by Nike swoop, was suddenly hot again. Models such as Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiller and a score of rock idols sported Adidas gear on television, in films and music videos, giving the company a free publicity bonanza. Demand for Adidas products soared. “The marketing at Adidas is very, very good right now, “says Eugenio Di Maria, editor of Sporting Good Intelligence, an industry newsletter perceives Adidas as a very young
brand. The company is particularly strong in apparel, much stronger than Nike and Reebok. Although 90% of Adidas products for wear on the street instead of sports fields, Louis-Dreyfus felt the previous management had lost sight of Adidas’ roots as a sporting goods company. After all, Adi Dassler invented the screw-in stud for the soccer shoe and shod American champion Jesse Owens in the 1936 Olympics. So he sold off or folded other non-core brands that Adidas had developed, including Le Coq Sportif, Arena and Pony. Europe is still the company’s largest market because Adidas dominates the apparel industry and thanks to soccer’s massive popularity there. Louis-Dreyfus is quick to share credit for the turnaround with a small group of friends who bought the company with him in 1993. One of those fellow investors is a former IMS colleague, Christian Tourres, now sales director at Adidas. “We’re pretty complementary because I’m a bit of a dreamer, so it’s good to have somebody knocking on your head to remind you there’s a budget, “says Louis-Dreyfus. Commuting to the firm’s headquarters in the Bavarian town of Herzogenaurach from his lakeside house outside Zurich, Louis-Dreyfus also transformed Adidas from a stodgy German company into a business with a global outlook. Appalled on his first day at work that the chief executive had to sign a salesman’s travel voucher for $ 300, he slashed the company’s bureaucracy, adopted American ac counting rules and brought in international management talent. The company’s chief financial officer is Australian and the international marketing manager is a Swede. English is the official language of the head office and no Germans remain on the managing board of the company, now whittled down to just himself and a few trusted aides. “It was clear we needed decentralization and financial controls, “recalls Louis-Dreyfus. “With German accounting rules, I never knew if I was making money or losing.” In another break with the traditional German workplace, Louis-Dreyfus made corporate life almost gratingly informal: employees ostentatiously called him “Rowbear” as he strides down the corridors, and bankers are still amazed when counterparts from Adidas show up for negotiations wearing sweatshirts and sneakers. “He gives you a lot of freedom, says Michael Michalsky, a 29-year-old German who heads the company’s apparel design team. “He has never interfered with a decision and never complained. He’s incredibly easy to work for.” After reducing losses in 1993, Adidas turned a profit in 1994 and has continued to surge: net income for the first three quarters in 1996 was a record $ 214 million, up 29% from the previous year. Louis-Dreyfus and his friends made vast personal fortunes when the company went public in 1995. The original investors still own 26% of the stock, which sold for $ 46 a share when trading has doubled to $ 90. The challenge for Louis-Dreyfus is to keep sales growing in a notoriously trend-driven business. In contrast to the boom at Adidas, for example, Reebok reported a 3 % line in sales in the third quarter. Last fall Adidas rolled out a new line of shoes called “Feet You Wear” which are supposed to fit more comfortably than conventional sneakers by matching the natural contour of the foot. The first 500, 000 sold out. Adidas is an official sponsor of the World Cup, to be held next June in France, which the company hopes to turn to a marketing bonanza that will build on the strength of soccer worldwide. But Reebok also has introduced a new line called DMX Series 2000 and competition is expected to be tough come
spring.

听力原文： Around the year 1,000 A. D, some people from northwest India began to travel westward. Nobody knows why. After leaving their homes, they did not settle down again, but spent their lives moving from one place to another, and their later generations are called the Romany people, or Gypsies. There’re Gypsies all over the world, and many of them are still traveling with no fixed homes. There are about 8, 000,000 of them, including 3,000,000 in Eastern Europe. Gypsies sometimes have a hard time in the countries where they travel, because they are different. People may be afraid of them, look down upon them, or think that they are criminals. The Nazis treated the Gypsies cruelly, like the Jews, and nobody knows how many of them died in Hitler’s death camps. Gypsies have their own language Romany. They liked music and dancing. And they often work in fairs and traveling shows. Traveling is very
important to them, and many Gypsies are unhappy if they have to stay in one place. Because of this, it is difficult for Gypsy children to go to school, and Gypsies are often unable to read and write. In some places, the education authorities tried to arrange special traveling schools for Gypsy children, so that they can get the same education as other children.

听力原文： Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burnt down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films ill which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? If so, you may have wondered howthese things could happen without harming the people in the film. The man who knows the answer is the special effects man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to create a flood, or to make a battlefield explode. But he may also be asked to create a special effect. It is much more exciting. Once a film director wanted some fish that were swimming in a big glass bowl to stop swimming suddenly while they were seen to stare at an actor. Then the director wanted the fish to stop staring and swim away. But fish can’t be ordered to do anything. It was quite a problem. The special effects man thought about this for a long time. The result was an idea for controlling the fish with the harmless use of electricity. First he applied electricity to the fish bowl causing the fish to be absolutely still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity allowing the fish to swim away. Thus he got the humorous effect that the director wanted.

听力原文：In sports the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of seventy four, a man only until he is sixty eight. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under four minutes. The best women need four and a half minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam four hundred meters in 4 minutes and 21.2 seconds when she was only sixteen. The first “Tarzan” in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest four hundred meters was 4 minutes and 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl fifty years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the
women-athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!
33．
A．Because women do much work than men.
B．Because people think women weaker than men. C．Because sport is easier for men than for women. D．Because in sport the two sexes are always separate.

If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas,【S8】______will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent(普遍的). Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language.

49． 【S2】

正确答案：E
解析：increasingly 意为“日益，愈加”，在原文中表示重要的程度。
54． 【S7】

Section BDirections: 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.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “trash talk (废话)”. The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality(道德)to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society’s moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing(迷人的) predicaments (困境) of other people’s lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual’s quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors and so on. Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life’s tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18 to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show’s exploitation. While the two
shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically(讽刺地), both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.
58． Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are______.
A．more family-oriented B．unusually popular C．more profound D．relatively formal
正确答案：B
解析：细节题。本题问的是：同其他的脱口秀相比，Jerry Springer和Oprah Winfrey的脱口秀______。根据文章第1段第2句“And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format．But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content，while at the same time standing out above the rest，than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows”可知，每一个经常看脱口秀的人都知道脱口秀的形式和风格各不相同，但是没有哪两个脱口秀能够像Jerry Springer和Oprah Winfrey的节目那样内容迥异却在众多的脱口秀中脱颖而出。因此他们的脱口秀是非常受欢迎的，故选B 。
59． Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience______.
A．remain fascinated(着迷)by them B．are ready to face up to them C．remain indifferent to them
D．are willing to get involved in them
正确答案：A
解析：细节题。本题问的是：尽管Jerry Springer脱口秀中的社会问题让人不愉快，但观众______。根据文章第2段第4句“Clearly，the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society’s moral catastrophes(灾难 ，yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing(迷人的) predicaments (困境) of other people’s lives”可知，Jerry Springer的脱口秀展现和宣传了社会道德的灾难，但是人们还是对这样一种他人生活的困境好奇和着迷。故选A 。
60． Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show? A．A new type of robot. B．Racist hatred.
C．Family budget planning. D．Street violence.
正确答案：C
解析：推理题。本题问的是：下述哪一个话题可能出现在Oprah Winfrey的脱口秀中?根据第3段和第5段第1句和第2句“Clean as it is the Oprah Winfrey show is not for everyone． The show’s main target audience are middle-class Americans．Most of these people have the time， money，and stability to deal with life’s tougher problems”可知，Oprah Winfrey的脱口秀侧重于社会和个人生活质量的改善，话题涉及教育孩子要有责任感，如何管理你的工作以及结识邻居。Oprah Winfrey的脱口秀内容干净，不见得适合每一个人，目标观众是中产阶级，他们有时间、有钱，有稳固的能力解决生活中的难题，因此家庭预算计划更有可能成为她的话题，故选C 。
61． Despite their different approaches, the two talk shows are both______. A．ironical B．sensitive C．instructive D．cynical
正确答案：C
解析：推理题。本题问的是：尽管方法不同，但两个脱口秀都______。根据第4段第3句和第4句“He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show．Hopefully，this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable”和第5段第6句“They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show’s exploitation”可知，Jerry Springer的脱口秀在节目最后都会对道德问题进行总结，许多人能够从中学到有价值的东西。18到21岁的人也可以从他的节目中获取经验和教训。而通过上述第3个问题我们知道 Oprah Winfrey的脱口秀侧重于社会和个人生活质量的改善，这本身就是很有教育意义的，故选C 。
62． We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows______. A．have monopolized the talk show circuit B．exploit the weaknesses in human nature C．appear at different times of the day D．are targeted at different audiences
正确答案：D
解析：细节题。本题问的是：我们从文章中得知两个脱口秀______。根据文章第5段可知Oprah Winfrey的脱口秀的目标观众是中产阶级，而Jerry Springer节目却与社会的年轻人关系更大，因此他们的目标观众是不同的，故选D 。
The opinion of many engineers is that the architects that designed tine New York World Trade Center Twin Towers did a good job in designing the buildings. The buildings were safe from the hazards envisioned at the time. Indeed, they were designed to withstand the force of aircraft that might crash into them. They were not, however, designed to withstand the effects of the very high temperatures generated by
the ignition of tons of aviation fuel carried by the aircraft. Steel lightly covered with concrete is the main structural component of the towers and steel loses a lot of structural strength when heated to 1,100 degrees Centigrade and beyond, as it was. To shield the steel the towers beams(柱梁) were c0ated with a few centimeters of concrete. That insulation was to provide structural integrity for at least 1 hour of fire. The towers met that test. The south tower lasted 62 minutes. The north, 103 minutes. Tragedy followed when not all could escape prior to the collapse. Most experts agree that the Twin Towers were very. well designed. Many also agree that the pan pie planning the attacks were very knowledgeable and aimed the aircraft at a height that would effect the most damage. The aircraft crash and the resulting fuel fed fires were aimed at about the 90th floor. That was just high enough to insure that the upper floors would weaken with the heat and crack down, dropping into the remaining part of the building. The mass of the falling top floors created such a falling load that some experts estimate it exceeded by 5 to 10 times normal bearing loads. The effect was like a giant hammer, each floor contributing more weight to be born by the next floor down. Were the Trade Towers well designed? Engineers say yes. But, the public refers to the belief that architects will never again design a tall building without considering the effects of terrorist attacks of all potential kinds. That not only includes the ability of the structure to withstand attack but the means to allow the buildings occupants(居住者) to escape in time to survive.
63． According to the article, those who designed the tower could have done better if ______.
A．the tower lasted longer after being attacked
B．the tower hold stable until all of the people there managed to escape C．the tower can be immune to such attacks
D．they considered more about the effects of the very’ high temperatures and make duel changes in the structure
正确答案：D
解析：本题要求第一段最后一句做出推断，该句说They were not，however，designed to withstand the effects of the very high temperatures generated by the ignition of tons of aviation fuel carried by the aircraft.，由此可推断若当初大厦的设计者考虑到大厦结构耐高温的情况就好了，就不会出现这种悲剧，这与D)含义相符合。
． As we know from the 3rd paragraph, many people believe that ______. A．the attack was led by Bin Laden
B．those who directed the attack was better engineers than those who built the towers
C．those who directed the attack know quite a lot about the towers D．the attack was made spontaneously
正确答案：C
解析：第三段第二句Many also agree that the people planning the attacks were very knowledgeable and aimed the aircraft at a height that would effect the most damage.，意思是“许多人都认为策划袭击的人知识渊博，他们使飞机在一个能对大厦造成最大破坏的高度进行攻击。”由此可知，这些人对大厦的结构特点非常了解，与C)含义相符。B)具有一定的迷惑性，但原文并没有说策划飞机袭击的人是工程师，更没有将他们的水平与建造大厦的工程师们相比，故排除；A)、D)原文均未涉及，故排除。
65． The part of the building below 0th floor ______. A．remained where they were
B．cracked down because of the burning
C．was hammered down by the falling upper part D．was safe after the attack
正确答案：C 解析：解题关键是第三段第四句和第四段，第三段第三句话提到飞机与大厦相撞，燃料着火，火焰直指90层。而后作者在第四句说That was just high enough to insure that the upper floors would weaken with the heat and crack down，dropping into the remaining part of the building.，意思是“那一高度足以使上面的楼层因无法经受高温而倒塌，往下面的楼层坠落”；接着作者在第四段指出，上面楼层的倒塌给下面造成更大压力，造成巨锤效应，使大厦最终整体倒塌，这正是C)的含义。A)和D)与原文理解不符；B)中的burning过于笼统，故排除。
66． The author believes that the Twin towers ______. A．were not well-designed B．were well-designed
C．were good examples for engineers of our time
D．were out of consideration when we talk about engineering later
正确答案：A
解析：纵观全文，在第一段首句，作者提到The opinion of many engineers is that the architects…did a good job in designing the buildings.，即许多工程师认为世贸大厦建筑设计得很好，在第三段中作者再次提到 Most experts agree that the Twin Towers were very well designed.，即许多专家认为世贸大厦设计得很好。但是这两句都没有表明作者的态度。在文章最后一段，作者再次提问：世贸大厦果真设计得很好吗?而后回答“工程师们说是的”，但我们感到一种言外之意。紧接着作者说But，the public refers to the belief that architects will never again design a tall building without considering the effects of terrorist attacks of all potential kinds.，即“然而，大众却认为设计者再设计高楼大厦时，一定要全面考虑到恐怖袭击中会出现的所有可能性。”言外之意，世贸大厦当初的设计没有全面考虑到受恐怖袭击会遇到的所有问题。由此可见，作者认为世贸大厦的设计并不好。这正是A)的含义。B)、C)是对文中人物的观点和作者的观点混为一谈的结果，故排除；而D)文中未提到，应排除。
67． The word “ignition” (Line , Para. 1 ) means” ______”. A．fierce crash
B．causing to catch fire C．failure of engine
D．extremely hot condition
正确答案：B 解析：本题主要考查单词在语句中的具体含义，该词出现在第一段的最后一句。通过该句上下文可知，燃料 (fuel)燃着后才会产生高温(very high temperatures)。因此，ignition应与点燃有关，这正是B)的含义。
Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.
During the 1980s, unemployment(失业人数)and underemployment(不充分就业)in some in some countries was so high as 90 per cent. Some countries did not【B1】enough food; basic needs in housing and clothing were not【B2】. Many of these countries looked【B3】the industrial processes of the developed nations for solution.【B4】, problems cannot always be solved by【B5】the industrialized nations. Industry in the developed nations is highly automated and very【B6】. It provides fewer jobs than labor-intensive industrial【B7】, and highly skilled workers are needed to【B8】and repair the equipment. These workers must be trained,【B9】many nations do not have the necessary training institutions. Thus, the【B10】of importing industry becomes higher. Students must be sent abroad to receive vocational and【B11】training.【B12】, just to begin training, the students must【B13】learn English, French, Germans, or Japanese. The students then spend many years abroad, and【B14】do not return home. All nations agree that science and technology should be shared. The point is: countries【B15】the industrial processes of the developed nations need to look carefully【B16】the costs, because many of these costs are【B17】. Students from these nations should【B18】the problems of the industrialized countries closely.【B19】care, they will take home not the problems of science and technology,【B20】the benefits.
68． 【B1】 A．generate B．boost C．produce D．manufacture
正确答案：C 解析：此题考查的是四个选项中哪个动词可以和food构成合理的动宾搭配。A.generate意为“发(电)，产生(热量)”；B.boost是指“增加(利润、产量等)，提高(价格)”；D.manufacture强调“(通过使用工业机械)制造”。这三项都不能与food构成搭配。选项C.produce作“生产”解时，可以和food搭配，故选C。
69． 【B2】 A．done B．met C．reached D．dealt
正确答案：B
解析：此题考查的是被动语态中的动宾搭配。basic needs是该句的主语，也是所填词的形式宾语，即所填词需和basic needs构成动宾搭配。根据上半句did not produce enough food的语境和表示并列结构的分号可以判断，这半句话要表达的意思是“难以满足人们对住房和衣物的基本需求”。只有选项B符合这一搭配和文章的语境。
70． 【B3】 A．to B．for C．into D．out
正确答案：A
解析：此题考查的是look动词短语和文章的语义衔接。第一段的前两句列出了80年代一些国家的失业问题。从段尾的for solution可知这些国家是想解决这些问题。look动词短语的宾语是the industrial processes，这就要求look动词短语既要含有“注意”的含义，又要符合与宾语的搭配。look to在本文中的意思是”pay attention to”，符合文章语境。look for“寻找”；look into“调查”；look out“当心”。
71． 【B4】 A．Moreover B．Therefore C．Anyway D．However
正确答案：D
解析：此题考查的是本段与上段之间的逻辑衔接。上一段最后一句谈到for solution，而这句话中的 can not always be solved正好与for solution的语义相反，因此推断，此处所填的词应该表示语义上的转折，只有D.However符合该逻辑要求。
72． 【B5】 A．issuing B．forging C．copying
D．repeating
正确答案：C
解析：此题考查的是语义衔接。首先明确该句中的the industrialized nations指的就是上文中的the developed nations。那么所填词应该和looked to在意义上有关联。这些失业率很高的国家“注意到”发达国家的industrial processes，也就是说他们认为这样的方法不错，想要效仿。因此C.copying符合文章语境要求。在本篇文章中，copy和look to形成了暂时的同义关系。
73． 【B6】 A．expensive B．mechanical C．flourishing D．intensive
正确答案：A
解析：首先可以排除D，intensive意为“加强的，密集的”，不能和industry搭配使用；其次可以排除B，因为mechanical“机械的”与highly automated在语义上矛盾。然后根据上下文，在A和C中做出选择。文中提到highly skilled workers are needed，紧接着说These workers must be trained。培训员工必然会需要很高的花费，因此和C.flourishing也没有什么关系，只有选项A.expensive符合原文语境要求。
74． 【B7】 A．ways B．processes C．procedures D．methods
正确答案：B
解析：It是指上句中的Industry in the developed nations，这正与上文的 the industrial processes of the developed nations相照应。本句把高自动化工业和劳动密集型工业作比较，因此选B.processes“工序；制作法”，这正是processes的原词复现。
75． 【B8】 A．keep B．retain C．maintain D．reserve
正确答案：C
解析：该句中的and表示所填词和repair并列作谓语，因此这两个词在意义上应该相近，四个选项中只有C.maintain有“维修”的含义。
76． 【B9】 A．still B．so C．and D．yet
正确答案：D
解析：第二段第四句的前半句是说，这些高级技工must be trained；后半句是说，许多国家没有必需的培训机构。这就构成了逻辑上的矛盾，因此所填词应该表示转折，这样才能使这两个分句在逻辑上顺利衔接。四个选项中只有D.yet表转折，故选D。
77． 【B10】 A．charge B．price C．cost D．value
正确答案：C
解析：四个选项都和“费用”有关，此题的难点在于如何找到最符合文章语境的—项。所填词和 importing industry构成搭配，下句提及的Students must be sent abroad花费的不只是金钱，还包含时间等。选项C.cost“成本”是指为达到某一目标而必需花费的金钱，时间、人力等，符合文章语境要求。而A.charge是指“(货物或劳务的)费用”；B.price是指“价格，价钱”D.value是指“价值”。
78． 【B11】 A．institutional B．professional C．universal D．fundamental
正确答案：B
解析：需要考虑到and前后词性相同的两个词词义相近。空前的vocational意为“职业的”，与其意义相近的选项只有B.professional。其他三个选项均不表示“职业的”。
79． 【B12】 A．Frequently B．Gradually C．Presumably D．Eventually
正确答案：A
解析：从选项可以看出，此处要求填入一个副词修饰全句。这就要求结合上下文语境做出判断。空前的句子是说“必须把学生送到国外接受职业培训”。空后两句是说把学生送到国外后的情况。选项A Frequently表示某种情况发生的频率很高，符合文章的语境要求。B.Gradually表示事态的发展；C.Presumably表示推测；D.Eventually表示某事的结果。
80． 【B13】 A．soon B．then C．later D．first
正确答案：D
解析：根据空前中的begin可以判断，所填词在意义上需和它相符，只有选项D.first“首先”符合要求。根据原文“...just to begin training...then...and...”中表示时间顺序的then和and，也可以判断出答案是D。
81． 【B14】 A．others B．any C．some D．none
正确答案：C
解析：此题考查代词在语境中的使用。按照发展顺序，所填代词指代的应该是The students或他们其中的一部分人，因此只有选项C.some符合语境要求。
82． 【B15】 A．adopting B．conducting C．adapting D．adjusting
正确答案：A
解析：所填词后面再次出现的industrial processes首次出现在前文，空前的countries就是指上文句中的Many of these countries，即那些失业率很高的国家，因此所填词和copying—样，也和look to形成了暂时的同义关系。只有选项A.adopting“采纳”最符合这种同义关系。C.adapting意为“适应”。
83． 【B16】 A．for B．at C．on D．about
正确答案：B
解析：此题考查的是look动词短语和文章的语义衔接。第二段第一句是说“所有的国家都赞同科学和技术共享”；第二句中的The point is暗含转折的意义。也就是说，这些国家即使赞同科学和技术共享，但也不能完全照抄发达国家的模式，毕竟还有成本问题需要仔细的考虑。look at含有“考虑”之意，因此选Bat。
84． 【B17】 A．exposed B．vague C．uncovered D．hidden
正确答案：D 解析：根据该句中的because可知，所填词正是这些国家需要look carefully at the costs的原因。A和C都表示many of these costs是显而易见的，如果是这样的话，那这些国家就不需要仔细考虑费用问题了，因此均可排除。选项B虽然含有负面的含义，符合语境，但它是指“(轮廓)模糊的；(描述或表达)含糊的”，不符合与costs的搭配，因此只能选D。
85． 【B18】 A．tackle B．learn C．study D．realize
正确答案：C
解析：第二段倒数第三句已经明确了Students from these nations的任务是receive vocational and professional training，而不是tackle(解决)发达国家的问题，故排除A。根据所填词的宾语the problems可以排除选项B。派这些学生出国应该是让他们去研究而不只是去realize发达国家的问题，因此选C.study。
86． 【B19】 A．Through B．With C．In D．Under
正确答案：B
解析：四个选项中，能与care搭配作结构的只有B.With，with care意为“小心，慎重”。C.In和D.Under也可与care搭配，但是通常用法分别为in care of sb．(劳烦某人转交)和under the care of sb.(在某人的照料/管理下)。A通常不与care搭配。
87． 【B20】 A．except B．nor C．or D．but
正确答案：D
解析：该句的they指代的是上句中的Students。派这些学生出国的目的不是让他们把the problems of science and technology带回国，而肯定是想让他们为自己国家带问利益。因此D.but符合文章的语义要求，but和同一行的not形成“not形成but...”结构，意为“不是…，而是…”。
Vocabulary and GrammarDirections: There are some incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices. Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.
88． The local authorities realized the need to make ______ for elderly people in their housing programs.
A．preparation B．requirement. C．provision D．specification
正确答案：C
解析：近形近义题。所填词可用于make～for sb．结构，[C]provision表示为将来或为防万一而做的准备，make provision for sb．指为某人做准备，符合句意，所以[C]为答案。[A]preparation“准备工作，准备措施”，make preparation for sth．表示“为…做准备”，注意for后通常跟的是sth．而不是sb．；[B]requirement“依赖或需要的事物”和[D]specification“规格，详解”则不用于上述结构。 知识模块：语法与词汇
． Some snakes, although having been tamed, can ______ attack people. A．deliberately B．reluctantly C．unexpectedly D．subsequently
正确答案：C
解析：unexpectedly“出乎意料地，猝不及防地”；deliberately“故意地，有意图地”；reluctantly“不情愿地，勉强地”；subsequently“接下来地，随后发生地”；只有unexpectedly和句中的although意义呼应。 知识模块：语法与词汇
90． If the government doesn’t take measures to prohibit corruption, it ______ be overthrown.
A．is bound to B．is bound for C．is bound up with D．is bound up in
正确答案：A
解析：be bound to do sth．和be bound for意思都为“必定会，注定要……”；be bound up with“与……有密切联系”； be bound up in “忙于，热心于……”。 知识模块：语法与词汇
91． The cumulative ______ of human activities on the global environment is becoming increasingly harmful.
A．effect B．influence C．impact D．outcome
正确答案：A
解析：近形近义题。所填词能被cumulative和harmful修饰，effect“结果，效果；影响”强调直接的因果关系，指对一系列事件适用的原则继续在别的场合产生效果或起作用，符合句意，所以[A]为答案。[D]influence“影响”和[C]impact“影响，效果”不能被cumulative修饰；[D]outcome“结局，成果”指最终的结局或结果，由题干中的increasingly可知并非最终结果，所以[D]不合适。 知识模块：语法与词汇
92． “Someone is at the door”.”______?” A．What is it B．Who is it C．Who is he
D．Which one is it
正确答案：B
解析：根据英语习惯及语法要求，someone应看作单数第三人称，指人，回答“谁”的问题。 知识模块：语法与词汇

正确答案：Under no circumstances/ By no means
96． Were it not for their assistance, we____________. (不会有资格) this honorable award right now.
正确答案：would not be entitled to
解析：考查省略if的虚拟倒装句以及短语be entitled to。整句话是对现在情况的假设，所以主句谓语应该用 would加动词原形形式。
97． __________(任何尊敬他人的人)will be respected.
正确答案：Whoever respects others/Anyone who respects others
解析：考查“wh-疑问词+ever”引导的名词性从句的译法。此处需要译出的部分是句子的主语，可以译成主语从句，当然，此处还可以译为Anyone who respects others，即用定语从句修饰的不定代词作主语。
