PartⅠWriting
　　【审题与构思】① 审题及布局。这篇作文根据提纲，可以分为三个段落写作。可以根据自己对这三个方面的了解程度决定详写和略写的段落。第一段说明一些城市政府实施多项举措降低公共交通票价，大力发展公共交通的情况，如果要把这一段作为详写的段落，可以列举城市政府采取的一些具体的措施。第二段写发展公共交通带来的好处，可以写人们的交通费用降低，同时也可以叙述随着越来越多的人出门乘坐公共交通工具，降低了私家车的出行频率，从而能缓解交通和环境问题。第三段写如何响应政府的号召，最好的方法就是尽量在出行时，使用公共交通工具。②语言。注意段落之间、句子之间的衔接，从而使其成为一个表达清晰，符合逻辑的整体。
　　范文点评
　　The Decrease of Public Transportation Ticket Fare
　　Recently, ① some municipal governments have taken a series of measures to develop public transportation including decreasing public transportation ticket fare. ② On the one hand, they strengthen financial support to public transportation companies. On the other hand, IC cards are issued to offer discount of subway and bus ticket fare.
　　The benefits can be seen obviously. ③ One advantage is that the daily transportation expense is reduced. Due to the low prices, more and more people are willing to go out by public vehicles with less cars streaming in the street, ④ the street is clearer and the air is cleaner.
　　⑤ To my mind, traveling via public vehicles is the best way to respond to governments' appeal. Besides, trying to make every trip efficient and reducing the frequency of vehicles is also a good answer.
　　①开门见山，说明一些城市政府实施多项举措降低公共交通票价，大力发展公共交通。municipal"城市的"为高分词。
　　②用On the one hand 和On the other hand，清晰地表明一些城市政府采取的具体措施。
　　③这段阐述发展公共交通带来的好处，采用了因果法。发展公共交通导致交通费降低，而它又使更多人选择公共交通，而其又能缓解交通，改善环境。环环相扣，逻辑严密。
　　④分别用了clear "无堵塞的"和clean"清洁的"，用词简单而生动，说明政府的举措有利于解决交通问题和污染问题。
　　⑤表达个人观点，提出了两个建议。
　　Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
　　本文首先比较传统的作物培育方法和转基因培育作物的方法，然后讨论转基因作物及食物给人类以及自然带来的利弊，最后指出人类必须密切关注转基因技术的发展及其影响。
　　1. A)。[定位]由题干中的conventional breeding和main difference定位到本文第四段。
　　[精析]段首设题。这段明确指出，传统种植过程是在物种之间或者非常相近的物种间进行杂交;GM crops的基因可以取自非常相近的物种，甚至是细菌和病毒。A)项为正确答案。B)项认为传统种植不可预测，而基因培植可以预测，由原文第二段...organisms...through genetic modification.... However, this technology too is inherently unpredictable知该项陈述错误;C)项认为农民用传统种植法，科学家用基因培植法，这与科学家致力于推广该技术的表述不符;D)项认为传统种植法时间长，但基因法短暂，这不是主要的区别。
　　2. A)。[定位]由选项的herbicide-resistant，drought-tolerant和salt-tolerant定位到Herbicide-resistant crops这一部分。
　　[精析]段落中设题。由该部分下前两句 "So what other advantages do GM crops hold for farmers? GM crops can be produced to be herbicide-resistant."知A)选项正确;第二段首句"Biotechnology companies are even experimenting with crops that can be genetically modified to be drought and salt-tolerant."知C)项陈述错误。B)、D)两项文中没有提及。
　　3. B)。[定位]由题干中的genetically modified animals定位到Better Quality Foods这一部分的第一段。
　　[精析]段首设题。由首句"Even animals can be genetically modified to be leaner, grow faster, and need less food."知A)、C)两项的陈述与原文陈述相悖，由本段最后一句"Modified crops could perhaps prevent outbreaks such as foot and mouth disease..."知D)项陈述专指转基因食物可以防止口蹄疫，D)项陈述也不符合原文;B)项认为这类动物可以提高产量，即本段第三句"These modifications again lead to improved productivity for farmers"，故B)项为正确答案。
　　4. D)。[定位]由题干中的GM salmon定位到Better Quality Foods小标题下的第二段第二句。
　　[精析]举例处设题。由"GM salmon, capable of growing almost 30 times faster than natural salmon"知A)项陈述不正确;由...without a single study on the impact on human health or the environment"知转基因鲑鱼有可能会对环境和健康造成威胁，C)项陈述不正确、D)项陈述正确。B)项在本段没有提及。
　　5. A)。[定位]由题干中的environmental damage定位到Environmental damage这一部分。
　　[精析]段首设题。由该部分下第一段的前两句"The problem with GM crops is that there is little known about what effect they will have in, say, 20 years time....GM crop tests focus on short-term effects."可知主要原因是目前的转基因作物的试验着眼于短期影响，无法预知长远的影响。B)、C)项的表述与原文不符;D)项陈述的是可能的结果不是原因，而且与环境没有直接的关系。故A)为正确答案。
　　6. D)。[定位]由题干中risks和GM crops定位到Risks: the other side of the debate这一部分。
　　[精析]标题处设题。该部分下设三个小标题，分别为：Environmental damage，Risk to food web和Disease。故文章共提到3个潜在危险。D)项为正确答案。
　　7. A)。[定位]需要迅速浏览全文，注意标题和小标题。
　　[精析]作者态度题。该文的标题为The Debate Over Genetically Modified Foods，同时陈述时有两方对立的观点，即Benefits: one side of the debate和Risks: the other side of the debate。由此可知作者在转基因食品的问题上是比较客观的，A)项为正确答案。
　　8. built-in pesticides
　　[定位]由题干中的eat GM crops和poisoned定位到Risk to food web小标题下的第二句GM crops may also pose a health risk to native animals that eat them. 和第三句The animals may be poisoned by the built-in pesticides.
　　[精析]此处需填名词性成分或者动名词。题干将第二和第三个句子重新改写，第二句话中的主语GM crops放到第三句话中充当the animals 的定语，所以此处应该填写名词性成分built-in pesticides。
　　9. their genetic modification of a plant
　　[定位]由题干中的Marker genes定位到Disease小标题下的第四句Marker genes are used by scientists to determine whether their genetic modification of a plant was successful.
　　[精析]此处需填名词性成分。题干将原文的被动句Marker genes are used by scientist改写成主动句Scientists relied on...，并且把原文中的use, determine分别用同义词rely on，test代替;空前给出一个介词of，故可推断空格处应填名词形式，结合原文可知应填写their genetic modification of a plant。
　　10.safety and environmental impacts
　　[定位]由题干中的Friends of the Earth定位到文章末段末句...Friends of the Earth who demand required labeling of these food products and independent testing for safety and environmental impacts.
　　[精析]此处需填名词。题干将原文中定语从句改写成一个that引导的宾语从句;题干中的claim和原文的demand对应;空格前给出一个介词for，故可推断后面是名词形式，结合原文可知应填写safety and environmental impacts。

　　Section B
　　Passage One
　　Your assignments this term will be writing two major research papers. One of the most important things about writing a research paper is giving proper credit for your sources of information. Failure to do this is called plagiarism.
　　(26) Plagiarism is a kind of stealing or at least an unauthorized borrowing of someone else's ideas. Sometimes inexperienced students will plagiarize unintentionally, and then be surprised when the teacher won't accept their papers, or gives them a failing grade.
　　The best way to avoid unintentional plagiarizing is to be very careful in gathering your information. As you take notes on books and magazine articles about the topic you've selected, first try to assimilate the information thoroughly. Second,(27) write it down in your own words. This is called paraphrasing. If you do a good job of paraphrasing, you'll capture the main idea from your source without actually plagiarizing any phrases from it. Most of your notes should probably be paraphrased. However, occasionally you may find something you wish to quote directly in your research paper. In this case, be sure that you copy the quotation precisely in your notes and (28) enclose it in quotation marks. That way when you're finalizing your research paper, you will be able to remember which of your notes are directly quoted. You can incorporate them appropriately and give the original author proper credit.
　　26. What does the speaker warn the students against doing?
　　B)。通过预读选项可推断出问题是关于一种不规范的学术行为。短文中提到plagiarism(剽窃)，文章第二段开头部分就明确对此进行了解释Plagiarism is a kind of stealing or at least an unauthorized borrowing of someone else's ideas，与B)基本一致。
　　27. According to the speaker,how should most of the notes be taken?
　　A)。短文最后一段开头部分对如何避免无意的剽窃提出了几点建议。第一条就是：As you take notes on books and magazine articles about the topic you've selected,first try to assimilate the information thoroughly(彻底理解吸收所选择的信息)，随后又指出，用paraphrasing的方法，即write it down in your own words，与A)相同。
　　28. What does the speaker say a direct quotation should be used?
　　B)。题干中的关键词direct quotation，短文最后的部分提出，在直接引用的情况下be sure that you copy the quotation precisely in your notes and enclose it in quotation marks，随后又对这种方法的优点进行了具体的解释，A)和C)是避免无意剽窃的总方法，D)没有提到。
　　Passage Two
　　In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees (29) had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor's degree.
　　Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence (30) with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act as machines.
　　One type of test is sometimes called an objective test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions,(31) each of which has only one correct answer.
　　29. How did students in Middle Ages take a test?
　　D)。根据选项可知文章与学习、考试有关。古希腊、罗马学校的学生考试包括saying poetry aloud or giving speeches;而中世纪的欧洲大学生要discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject，这种考试属于subjective test(主观考试)。objective test意思为"客观考试"。
　　30. What might be the reason for the application of written examination?
　　A)。文中提到it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry，随着人口增长和现代工业的发展，笔试产生了。学生越来越多，A room full of candidates，笔试也就进而得到发展和更广泛的应用。所以答案为A)。
　　31. What can we learn from the passage?
　　C)。四个选项中都提到了objective test，可推断这是听音的重点。短文最后一段提到(objective test) is intended to deal with facts,not personal opinions，排除A)，随后指出客观考试中the teacher writes a series of questions,each of which has only one correct answer，可知C)正确。B)和D)是关于written state examination的内容。
　　Passage Three
　　The first postal service in North America began in New England in the 17th century. All mail arriving in Massachusetts colony was sent to the home of appointed official in Boston. In turn, the mail would be delivered from Boston on horseback to its destination, receiving one penny for each good article of mail. Later in the century postal services were established between Philadelphia and Delaware. In 1691,(33) (34) the British crown appointed the first postmaster general to have charge of the mail for all the colonies in North America. Later, Benjamin Franklin served as the postmaster general for the British government and then (35) was made postmaster by the newly formed United States' postal systems on a permanent basis. He increased the number of post office, introduced the use of stagecoaches to carry mail, and started a package service system. They were used to carry mail into the towns. Some communities, especially those out west, were far from the services of transportation. To serve them, the post office developed a system called"star routes".Private contractors paid to deliver mail to the communities from railways by horse and wagon.(32) The postal service, which was started 3 centuries ago, has developed into an extensive government service with post offices in every city, town, and village in the United States.
　　32. What is the main topic of this passage?
　　B)。这是一道主旨题。文章通篇出现了postal service,mail等词汇，全文最后一句话是总结。从关键词started...developed into都可以看出，本文讲述了美国邮政业的发展史。
　　33. What is the task of the first North America postal general?
　　B)。根据选项可推断这是一道表示任务或目的的题目。关于the first North American postal general，短文只提到了一句：the British crown appointed the first postmaster general to have charge of the mail for all the colonies in North America，答案为B)。A)是first postal service的内容;C)是Benjamin Franklin采取的措施;而D)则是star routes的内容。
　　34. Who appointed the first postmaster general?
　　A)。四个选项均为名词短语，可推断这是一道细节题，答案在文章中间的部分In 1691,the British crown appointed...。其中British crown指"英国政府"，crown本是指"皇冠"，这里代表government，后面的 postmaster general表示"邮政部长"。
　　35. Why did Benjamin Franklin deserve credit?
　　D)。题干中的credit表示"信任，称赞"，Franklin当上新成立的美国政府邮政部长后，负责建立美国的邮政系统，因此做了许多事，例如增加邮局的数量、运用马车运送邮件等。他得到大家赞誉的原因就在于他建立了美国的邮政系统。

　　Section B
　　Passage One
　　全文翻译
　　18世纪早期,当焦炭第一次取代木炭被用来精炼铁矿石时，铁制品有了革命性的变化。在此之前铁的质量很差，限制了它在像支撑拱门的链条和连接棒、拱顶和墙这样的建筑或部件上的应用。随着矿石精炼的不断改进，现在生铁梁柱的制造已成为可能。19世纪，炼铁有了进一步的发展，尤其是将铁转变为钢的贝塞麦工序，使这种材料更具商业价值。
　　(53)铁被迅速应用于桥梁的建造上，因为它的强度远大于石头和木料，但是它在房屋建造中的应用发展，相对而言，则要缓慢得多。直到1800年，工业建筑业开发出了可以取代传统的木制栋梁的纯粹的房屋内部钢铁框架，但通常情况下它仍是隐藏着的。除了它低廉的成本，钢铁作为一种建筑材料的优点还在于它的强度，它的抗火性和延展性。因此钢铁在19世纪成为越来越受欢迎的传统式建筑的结构材料，但它仍然是藏在里面的。
　　具有重大意义的是，外显的钢铁主要应用于工业革命中产生的新建筑种类中：工厂、车间、写字楼、展览大厅和铁路车站，在这些建筑上它实际应用的优点远胜于它卑微的身份。新时代铁路车站的设计者们发现了钢铁的潜力：它有超过中古大小教堂巨大穹顶的跨度，可以覆盖很大的面积。帕克斯顿的水晶宫，为容纳1851年的伟大展览而设计，占地1848*408英尺，由镶嵌在钢铁框架上的玻璃构建而成。(54)1889年巴黎展览展出了当时最宽和最高的建筑，分别是有362英尺跨度的机械大楼和有1000英尺高的埃菲尔铁塔。(55)然而，这些成就被巴黎的艺术家们嘲笑为高昂而又丑陋的愚蠢之举。(56)铁除了它的结构优点之外，几乎没有什么审美价值。外显钢铁结构应用在传统式建筑上的发展由此更加缓慢。
　　52. D)。[精析]本文从炼铁技术革新讲起，到铁被用于建筑内部，再到外显钢铁在建筑中的
　　应用，可见文章的主旨为铁的建筑用途的发展。选D)。
　　排除干扰 文中提到炼铁技术的发展是为了说明它建筑用途的发展，排除A)。B)、C)内容在文中只被一笔带过，是为了突出主旨。
　　53. C)。[定位]根据题干定位到原文第二段第一句话。
　　[精析]第二段第一句话中its strength was far greater than that of stone or timber一句的意思即it is much stronger。选C)。
　　排除干扰A)、B)、D)三项原文都没有提到。
　　54. A)。[定位]根据Halle des Machines定位于原文第三段倒数第四句话。

　　Passage Two
　　全文翻译
　　从菲利佩王储对电视记者莱蒂齐亚•奥迪兹说"是"之前的四个月，王室婚礼的热潮一直席卷着西班牙。
　　(57)商店里正在供应从盘子、开瓶器到这对新人订婚戒指复制品的各式各样的婚礼纪念品。
　　为了尽量不引起公众关注，这对夫妇仅仅在几次精心安排的见面会上露过面。
　　为国王胡安•卡洛斯和王后索菲娅36岁的儿子找到一个适合的新娘，西班牙人民等了十几年。更重要的是，这场5月22号的婚礼从其他方面来讲也将是一个重大的事件。
　　莱蒂齐亚•奥迪兹•罗卡索拉，31岁，是一个护士和一个记者的女儿。同时，(58)她将是登上王座的第一个平民，此宝座曾由派遣克里斯多夫•哥伦布去美洲的伊莎贝拉女王所拥有。
　　这位漂亮、优雅的前新闻主播也将成为西班牙一个多世纪来的第一位土生土长的王妃。作为当代君主制国家的一个全新风格的王妃，(59)活力四射而又事业有成的莱蒂齐亚深受西班牙人民的喜爱。
　　西班牙人民习惯了在电视上看到她播报新闻，她也引起了人们极度的好奇。记者们甚至在调查她过去最平常的像许多其他年轻的西班牙职业女性一样的方方面面。
　　西班牙人还注意到在11月订婚后她和王子在与媒体的交谈中，她还曾试图打断王子的讲话。"让我说，"她对波旁王室的王位继承人说。
　　这样的行为在这样一个女人身上被认为是可以理解的，她在23岁时独自去了墨西哥，之后为国家电视台TVE报道了9•11恐怖袭击事件和伊拉克战争。
　　(60) (61)她坚强的品格、坦率和批判性的思维也可能是成为王室成员的不利之处，正如记者们所说，王室成员应该很少说出自己的真实想法。
　　皇室已经努力保护她免受关注，同时给她时间适应新角色。
　　57. C)。[定位]第一段只交代了royal wedding fever这一事件，所以定位于第二段。
　　[精析]第二段举例说国内商店出售很多与Crown Prince Felipe and Letizia Ort
　　婚礼有关的各种各样的纪念品，可见他们的婚礼给全国带来了轰动。
　　排除干扰A)、B)、D)在原文中都没有根据。
　　58. A)。[定位]根据most important reason在原文找相关词，可找到第四段末尾出现的more important和landmark，因此定位于其后的第五段。
　　[精析]从第五段中的关键部分the first commoner on a throne可得出答案是A)。
　　排除干扰B)只是第一个原因，无法对应题干的most important。文章在写royal wedding，因此排除C)。D)无根据。
　　59. D)。[定位]根据news anchor定位于第六段。
　　[精析]第六段中对Letizia的职业生涯的评价是professionally accomplished，也就是capable"能干的"。
　　排除干扰A)、C)无原文根据。B)说的是她的性格，不是她作为新闻主持人的特点。
　　60. C)。[定位]题干中的interruption of the prince出现于倒数第四段，对这件事的评论在其后两段。
　　[精析]倒数第二、三段提到新闻主播的工作促成了Letizia本人的strong character，包括 frankness和critical mind。此题中所说的她面对媒体打断王子的说话正是她frank或outspoken的性格使然。
　　排除干扰A)、B)、D)文中没有提到相关信息。
　　61. B)。[定位]根据fit in the royal life对应for a royal定位于倒数第二段。
　　[精析]根据Her strong character,frankness and critical mind could also be disadvantages for a royal who is rarely expected to speak her mind可知，Letizia要适应皇家生活，如何在自己的个性与皇室要求之间找到平衡是最重要的。B)是对原文的同义转换。
　　排除干扰 其他项文中没有提到。
