　　7．The communication satellite ________ from Xichang Space Center has entered the orbit successfully.

　　A．to be launched

　　B．launched

　　C．launching

　　D．having launched

　　答案：B　考查非謂語動詞。句意：在西昌衛星中心發射的通訊衛星已經成功地進入軌道。根據句子結構以及句意可知launched from Xichang Space Center作定語修飾the communication satellite，且launch這一動作已發生并與被修飾詞the communication satellite之間是被動關系，所以用過去分詞。

　　8．The faces of the famous American Presidents on Mount Rushmore can be seen from a ________ of 60 miles.

　　A．length

　　B．distance

　　C．way

　　D．space

　　答案：B　句意： 在拉什莫爾山上的幾位著名美國總統的面部雕像從60英里外就可以看到。distance “距離；遠處”，符合題意。length“長度”；way“方式”；space“空間”。

　　B．worked

　　C．had worked

　　D．works

　　答案：B　根據句意可知我叔叔現在住在家鄉福州，所以在北京工作是過去的事情，因此答案為B項。C項的過去完成時表示過去之過去，不符合句意。

　　10．Since you have seen both runners, ________？

　　A．who will win do you think

　　B．whom do you think will win

　　C．do you think whom will win

　　D．who do you think will win

　　答案：D　從句子結構看，選擇的應該是特殊疑問句，可排除C項；該特殊問句中do you think為插入語，所以特殊問句應由who引導，并作主語。

　　11．Some youngsters know what to ________ at the university. They have made up their minds about their future.

　　A．take in

　　B．take up

　　C．take off

　　D．take over

　　答案：B　句意：一些年輕人知道大學要學什么，他們已經下定決定為將來做準備。take up“從事；開始(工作、興趣等)”，符合題意。take in“吸收；欺騙”；take off“起飛；脫掉”；take over“接管”。

　　12．How disappointing! They have finished ________ 5% of the work.

　　A．no more than

　　B．no less than

　　C．more than

　　D．not less than

　　答案：A　根據句意“多么令人失望啊”可判斷他們的工作完成的很少，所以選A項表示“僅僅；只有”，強調“少”。

　　13．Everything is easily ________ so it's not wise to follow the fashion.

　　A．out of sight

　　B．out of date

　　C．out of reach

　　D．out of memory

　　答案：B　考查固定短語。句意：一切都容易過時，所以趕時髦是不明智的。out of sight看不見；out of date過期的；out of reach夠不著；out of memory被忘記。

　　D．frightening; frightens

　　答案：B　第一個空填frightening(令人害怕的)，修飾explosion。根據句子結構可知第二個空考查句子的謂語，由just now可知，此處用一般過去時，所以選B。

　　Ⅳ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　Three engineers and three accountants (會計) are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.

　　“How are three people going to travel on only one ticket？” asks an accountant. “Watch and you'll see，” answers an engineer. They all board the train. The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.

　　Shortly after the train has departed,_the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, “Ticket, please.” The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.

　　The accountants see this and agree it is quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.

　　To their astonishment，the engineers don't buy a ticket at all. How are you going to travel without a ticket？asks one puzzled accountant. “Watch and you'll see，”answers an engineer. When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs.

　　Shortly afterward，one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, “Ticket, please.”

　　1. The three engineers buy only a single ticket because ________.

　　A. only one of them need buy a ticket

　　B. the three accountants buy tickets for them

　　C. they just want to save money

　　D. they are too poor to buy more tickets

　　答案：C　細節理解題。由第四段第二句中的save some money可知，這三個工程師只買一張火車票也是為了省錢。

　　2. The underlined word “departed” in the third paragraph means ________.

　　A. started out B. separated

　　C. stopped

　　D. arrived

　　答案：A　詞義猜測題。結合故事情節的發展及本段中的“the conductor comes around collecting tickets”可推知，這里指火車“開動”了。

　　3. Which one of the following is TRUE according to this passage?

　　A. Only one engineer is in the restroom when the

　　conductor collects the ticket.

　　B. At first the three accountants know why the

　　three engineers buy one ticket.

　　C. On the return trip the three accountants buythree tickets again.

　　D. On the return trip the three engineers don't buy any ticket.

　　答案：D　細節理解題。根據第五段第一句可知，返程時三個工程師一張票也沒買。

　　4．We can infer from the passage that ________.

　　A. the accountants are not as clever as the engineers

　　B. the accountants are cleverer than the engineers

　　C. the engineers are not as clever as the accountants

　　D. the engineers are as clever as the accountants

　　答案：A　推理判斷題。根據兩次買票的情況，一方面我們覺得這個故事幽默有趣，另一方面工程師確實比會計師在逃票方面技高一籌。

　　B

　　Cars and airplanes changed life in the 20th century. New changes in transportation are going to make life very different in the 21st century，too. Trains and planes will be faster and more comfortable. Planes will also be bigger.

　　NEW AIRPLANES

　　Today the biggest planes carry about 400 passengers. Soon airlines will build larger planes. These new large planes

　　will carry 600～800 passengers. Now high-speed planes travel from London to New York in 3 hours. They carry only 100 passengers. New high-speed planes will be bigger and faster. They will fly from London to New York in only 1.5 hours and they will carry 300 people. A ticket on these fast planes will be very expensive. So most people will not take them.

　　HIGH-SPEED TRAINS

　　Many

　　people

　　will

　　take

　　new, high-speed trains instead of planes. Today most trains can go 80 miles per hour (130km/h). Japan's bullet train can go 150 mph (240 kin/h). The most watched Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed intercity (城市間的) railway opened on July 1, which

　　is

　　covering

　　301

　　km

　　from

　　Shanghai Hongqiao to Nanjing. The train runs at 300 to 350 km per hour. New high-speed trains will go more than 300 mph (480 km/h) twice faster than the bullet train. Germany, Switzerland and Japan will be the first countries to use these new high-speed trains. Other countries plan to have the new train, too. In the future, the trains we have today may not be used at all.

　　5．Planes will travel

　　________ faster in the future than now.

　　A. half

　　B. twice

　　C. three times

　　D. four times

　　答案：B　細節理解題。由第二段第四句與第六、第七句可知答案。

　　6．The reason why fewer people will take the fast planes is

　　that ________.

　　A. they are not safe

　　B. people will have their own planes

　　C. the service on the planes is not satisfactory

　　D. people will spend much if they take such planes

　　答案：D　由第二段最后一句與第三段第一句可知答案。

　　7．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?

　　A. Japan's bullet train is the fastest train in the world.

　　B. The Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed train runs faster than Japan's bullet train.

　　C. Trains will become smaller in the future.

　　D. Trains will run faster than planes.

　　答案：B　由第三段第三句與第六句可知選B。

　　8．Which of the following words can't be used to describe the future trains and planes?

　　A. Fast.

　　B. Comfortable.

　　C. Big.

　　D. Cheap.

　　答案：D　由第二段最后與第三段最后可知兩者的共同點就是票價會更便宜。

　　9．What's the passage mainly about?

　　A. Predictions about the future trains and planes.

　　B. Planes which will be faster and more comfortable than trains.
