1．According to the director of its________office，only those students he thinks the best can be accepted into the world-famous university. A．admission C．notice

B．permission D．advertisement

答案 A [考查名词辨析。从语境可知he是指招生录取办公室的主任，因此用admission， 表示 “录取”。permission “允许”；notice “告示，通知”；advertisement “广告”。]

2．The new safety problem of contaminated(受污染的)milk is much more widespread，________at

least 22 dairy companies and their milk products that have appeared nationwide. A．to involve C．involving

B．involved D．being involved

答案 C [考查非谓语动词作(结果)状语的用法。从语境看， “涉及至少22家奶制品公司及其在全国范围内销售的奶制品”， “涉及” 的主语是它的发出者——问题，因此involve要用主动形式。]

3．It is said that your reading environment can have a great________your understanding，so give some thought________you can create or choose the right reading environment. A．effects on；on how

B．effect on；to how D．effect on；to what

C．effects upon；to what

答案 B [have an effect on...对……有影响；give thought to sth认真考虑某事。因为to后的 从句中不缺少成分，又根据题意可知选B项。]

4．—I hear Mrs Black is ill in hospital.We ought to go and see her. —How can it be？She was seen________her dog this morning. A．to have walked C．having walked

B．walking D．walked

答案 B [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本题考查的是see sb doing sth的被动语态， 用现在分词作主语补足语，表示她早上被看到正在做某事。]

5．The doctors said it would be months________Yao Ming was fit enough for regular training. A．that

B．when

C．since D．before

答案 D [考查连词。表示 “某事发生还需要多长时间”，用 “it＋be＋一段时间＋before引 导的时间状语从句” 结构。since引导时间状语从句时，前面一般用现在时态。] 6．You don't know how pretty she is.It can't be described________. A．in words

B．in a word D．in other words

C．in one word

答案 A [考查短语辨析。句意：你不知道她有多美，简直无法用语言来描述。in words意 思为“用语言(表达)”，故选A。]

7．The old couple took________to earn more money for their disabled son. A．a pain

B．pain

C．pains

D．painful

答案 C [take pains to do sth“费尽全力做某事”。pain作“辛苦，努力，费心”讲时要用复数形式。]

8．—Look！The telephone is broken.Someone damaged it________purpose. —That may be right.But perhaps it was broken________accident. A．on；by C．on；on

B．by；by D．by；on

答案 A [on purpose故意地；by accident偶然地。]

9．As soon as little Tom had________a little from his shock，his first thought was to get away. A．returned C．survived

B．absorbed D．recovered

答案 D [考查动词辨析。根据语意判断，此处表示 “从震惊中恢复过来”，因此用动词 recover。survive当 “幸免于难，挺过” 讲时是及物动词，后面一般不出现介词。] 10．________has been announced，we shall have our final exams next month. A．Which

B．As

C．That

D．What

答案 B [as引导非限制性定语从句，臵于句首时不可用which。as此处表示“正如”。句意： 正如所宣布的那样，下月我们将进行期末考试。] 11．—How did you like Nick's performance last night? —To be honest，his singing didn't________to me much. A．appeal

B．belong

C．refer

D．occur

答案 A [句意：——你觉得Nick昨天晚上表演得怎么样？——说实话，他的演唱对我没多大吸引力。appeal to sb—attract or interest sb(对某人)有吸引力；(使某人)感兴趣。belong to属于；refer to谈到、提到；occur to发生。]

12．Pop music is such an important part of society________it has even influenced our language. A．as

B．that C．which D．where

答案 B [句意：流行音乐是社会如此重要的一部分以致都影响了我们的语言。such...that... 意为“如此……以致……”，引导结果状语从句。as与such连用多引导定语从句；which与where不与such连用。]

13．—Mom，what did your doctor say?

—She advised me to live________there is no noise. A．which

B．in which D．where

C．the place where

答案 D [where引导地点状语从句，A和B选项均用以引导定语从句，C选项的the place 前加上in也对。]

14．Xi'an，________last summer，is a very ancient city. A．that I visited C．where I visited

B．which I visited D．in which I visited

答案 B [此处为一个定语从句，其中关系词在从句中充当visit的宾语，应用that或which， 但引导非限制性定语从句应用which不可用that。] 15．—What is the price of petrol these days? —Oh，it________sharply since last month. A．is raised C．has arisen

B．has risen D．is increased

答案 B [句意：——近些天石油的价格如何？——哦，自上个月以来油价猛涨。由句中的 since可知，主句应用现在完成时，故排除A、D两项；表示物价的上升或河水等的上涨用rise，而arise表“起床；起身”时通常用于文学中，又如：He arose at dawn.他黎明即起。] Ⅱ.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分)

Scholars and researchers have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in intercultural experiences.Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete.But three characteristics stand out in their reports：patience，a sense of humor，and the awareness of being unclear.

Patience，of course，is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to，or hopes they will，or has even been sure they will.Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people，but usually it does not.

A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in his own reactions than a humorless person.The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to.

“”is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor.Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers.That is，they do not know what is happening in the situation.Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough，or they do not know how some system or organization works，or they can't be sure of different people's roles in what is going on.“It's like I just got here from the moon，”a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said，“Things are just so different here.”

36．The passage mainly tells us________. A．some problems about communication B．humor—an important thing in communication C．some characteristics in communicating with foreigners D．three useful ways of communicating with foreigners

答案 C [主旨大意题。本文采用“总——分”结构讲述跨文化交际应具备的三个特点。] 37．From the third paragraph，we can infer that a humorous person________. A．tends to treat everything carelessly B．is optimistic about things C．likes making fun of others D．is an impatient one

答案 B [由第三段可知，有幽默感的人不会把事情看得太重，总能看到自己行为中的幽默 所在，也就是对事情总能保持乐观的态度。]

38．The underlined part“The awareness of being unclear”refers to“________”． A．knowing the meaning of an exact situation B．not stating clearly what happens C．realizing the possible misunderstanding D．being aware of the unclear situations

答案 D [根据最后一段举例内容知道是指人们在陌生的或特定的情况下，不知道会发生什么。]

39．What can we know from the passage?

A．It is necessary to learn a language before you go abroad.

B．Americans are used to the culture of other countries. C．Patience usually improves the relationship with others. D．To live in a foreign land，one should get fully prepared.

答案 C [由第二段可知，忍耐是保持冷静的一种能力，急躁通常不利于促进与他人的关系， 言外之意，有耐心才会促进人与人之间的关系。]
