听力原文： In the U. S. A, thirty percent of the adult population has a weight problem. To many people, the cause is obvious--they eat too much. But scientific evidence does not support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find the people were thinner than today. Yet they ate more food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and did not watch television. Several modem studies have shown that fatter people do not eat more than thinner people. In fact, some investigations report that the fat people eat less than thinner people. Recently, a study of research group found the following interesting fact--thinner people are more active than fatter people. Therefore, those who exercise regularly can eat more and still lose a large amount of body fat.
11． About how many adult Americans have the “weight problem”?______ percent.
正确答案：Thirty 解析：本题问美国有多少成年人面临肥胖问题，根据thirty percent of the adult population has a weight problem．可得出答案。听力关键词：weight problem 或 percent。
12． In many people’s opinion, what is the cause of getting fat?Eating ______.
正确答案：too much 解析：本题问大部分人认为什么是导致肥胖的原因，根据the cause is obvious—they eat too much．可得出答案。听力关键词：cause或eat。
13． Why were the Americans in 1910 thinner than today?Because they worked ______ physically.
正确答案：harder 解析：本题问1910年的美国人为什么比现在的美国人瘦，根据In those days，people worked harder physically．．．可得出答案。听力关键词：1910或thinner。
14． What was the result of a recent study?Thinner people are more ______ than fatter people.
正确答案：active 解析：本题问最近的一项研究结论是什么，根据found the following interesting fact—thinner people are more active than fatter people．可得出答案。听力关键词：recently或a study。
15． According to the passage, what happens to those who exercise regularly?They can eat more, and still lose a large amount of ______.
正确答案：body fat

Part II Vocabulary and Structure (15 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your ability to construct grammatically correct sentences. It consists of 2 sections.
Section ADirections: In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A , B, C, and D.
16． ________ that Bob had got promoted, his friends came to congratulate him. A．Heard
B．Having heard C．Hear D．To hear
正确答案：B
解析：本题考查现在分词。本句译文：听到鲍勃得到晋升的消息后，朋友们都来向他道贺。主句的主语his friends也是从句的逻辑主语，和从句谓语hear构成主动关系，所以要用现在分词。另外，hear这个动作发生在主句动作came之前，所以这里要用完成时。错误选项分析：A)用了过去分词，和主句主语构成被动关系，不符合句意；C)用了动词原形，而本句需要非谓语动词，故排除；D)用了动词不定式，而不定式作状语一般表示目的，不符合句意。
17． Try not to be absent ________ class again for the rest of the term. A．in B．on
C．from D．of
正确答案：C
解析：本题考查固定用法。本句译文：在本学期剩下的时间里，大家尽量不要缺课。be absent from为固定短语，表示“缺席”。错误选项分析：其他选项均不能和前面的absent搭配，可以排除。
18． The young man lost his job last month, but it wasn’t long ________ he found a new position in my company.
A．before B．while C．as D．after
正确答案：A
解析：本题考查固定用法。本句译文：上个月这个年轻人失业了，但不久之后，他就在我的公司谋得了一个职位。空格前面的it wasn’t long和before构成固定搭配，意为“不久以后”。错误选项分析：其他选项均不能和前面的it wasn’t long搭配，可以排除。
19． The representative of the company demanded that part of the agreement ________ revised.
A．will be B．is C．to be D．be
正确答案：D
解析：本题考查虚拟语气。本句译文：公司代表要求协议的部分内容必须修改。根据句子中出现的动词demand，可以判断其后面的that引导的宾语从句要用虚拟语气，即“should+动词原形”或直接用动词原形。错误选项分析：其他选项均未使用虚拟语气，可以排除。
20． What do you think of his suggestion ________ we all attend the meeting? A．which B．whether C．that D．what
正确答案：C
解析：本题考查同位语从句。本句译文：他建议我们都参加会议，你觉得怎么样?名词后一般接that引导的同位语从句宋解释说明名词的具体内容。错误选项分析：A)和B)不能用来引导同位语从句，可以排除；D)中的what在引导同位
语从句时，既充当连接词，又在句中作主语，而题干中的句子结构完整，不需要what，用连接词that即可。
21． We’ve got two TV sets, but we still can’t watch anything because ________ works properly.
A．neither B．either C．each D．every
正确答案：A
解析：本题考查否定代词。本句译文：尽管我们有两台电视机，但是它们都有问题，所以我们还是什么都看不到。根据“我们还是什么都看不到”可以推断两台电视机都无法正常使用，所以选neither，对两者都表示否定。错误选项分析：B)是选择性代词，意为“两者任选一个”；C)和D)都表示肯定，不符合句意。
22． Ever since I arrived here, I ________ in the dormitory because it is cheaper. A．lived
B．was living
C．had been living D．have been living
正确答案：D
解析：本题考查时态。本句译文：我来了这儿就一直住在宿舍里，因为那里比较便宜。根据句子中出现的时间状语Ever since I arrived here可以看出主句谓语动词表示一个由过去一直持续到现在的动作，所以应该用现在完成进行时。错误选项分析：其他选项均无法和句子中的状语从句搭配，应当排除。
23． The harder I tried, ________ it seemed to solve that math problem. A．the impossible B．most impossible C．the more impossible D．the most impossible
正确答案：C
解析：本题考查形容词/副词比较级用法。本句译文：看起来，我越是努力，越是算不出那道数学题。“the+形容词/副词比较级，the+形容词/副词比较级”是英语中的常见句式，意为”越…越…”。错误选项分析：A)没有使用impossible的比较级形式；B)没有使用定冠词the；D)没有使用impossible的比较级，却使用了最高级，因此都不符合结构要求，均可排除。
24． The accident was my fault, so I had to pay for the damage ________ the other car.
A．at
B．to C．on D．for
正确答案：B
解析：本题考查固定用法。本句译文：这次事故的责任应该由我负责，所以我须赔偿对方车主的损失。表示“对…造成损失或破坏”，应该在damage后接介词to。错误选项分析：其他选项均不能和前面的damage构成固定搭配，可以排除。
25． You can’t get a driver’s license ________ you are at least sixteen years old. A．unless B．if C．when D．though
正确答案：A
解析：本题考查连词用法。本句译文：除非你至少达到16岁，不然你无法拿到驾照。unless相当于if not，意为“如果不，除非”。引导条件状语从句时，其主句常用否定形式。错误选项分析：根据句意，从句中应该使用具有否定意义的词语，B)、C)和D)都不具有否定意义，可以排除。
Section BDirections: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each bland with the proper form of the word given in the brackets.
26． I’ve heard that the musical group will set off for Hong Kong to give a three-day (perform) ________.
正确答案：performance
解析：本题考查词形转换。本句译文：我听说那支乐队将要赴香港进行为期3天的演出。空格处应为give的宾语，又因为前面有复合形容词three-day，所以应该用perform的名词形式。
27． John not only learnt Chinese but also (know) ________ the difference between his culture and ours.
正确答案：knew
解析：本题考查时态。本句译文：约翰不光学汉语，而且了解他们国家和我们国家之间的文化差异。本句是由not only...but also引导的并列句，因此空格处的动词know应该和learnt使用相同的时态。
28． The more challenging the journey is, the (happy) ________ the young people will feel.
正确答案：happier
解析：本题考查形容词比较级。本句译文：旅途越是充满挑战，年轻人们就越是觉得高兴。此处为固定句式“the+形容词/副词比较级，the+形容词/副词比较级”的套用。
29． After the flood, life was (extreme) ________ difficult for the farmers in this area.
正确答案：extremely 解析：本题考查词形转换。本句译文：洪水过后，灾区农民的生活极其困苦。修饰形容词difficult，这里应该用extreme的副词形式extremely。
30． The children (play) ________ the violin over there will go on the stage next week.
正确答案：playing
解析：本题考查现在分词。本句译文：在那边拉小提琴的那些孩子下周要登台演出。Play应作主语children的定语，两者为主动关系，所以采用现在分词形式playing。
31． Before the flight takes off, all passengers are asked to (fast) ________ their seat belts.
正确答案：fasten
解析：本题考查词形转换 动词不定式。本句译文：飞机起飞之前，所有乘客都需系好安全带。动词不定式后应接动词原形，动词fasten“扣紧，系牢”为形容词fast的词形转换。
32． The policemen (tell) ________ not to take any action until they received further order.
正确答案：were told
解析：本题考查被动语态/时态一致 时态一致。本句译文：警察们被告知：除非接到下一步命令，否则不能擅自采取任何行动。tell为policemen的谓语，两者为被动关系，所以要用被动语态；而时态上要与从句中的received保持一致，所以空格处应填were told。
33． I cannot go shopping with you because I have an (appoint) ________ with my dentist this afternoon.
正确答案：appointment
解析：本题考查词形转换。本句译文：我下午要去看牙医，所以不能和你一起购物了。空格处应为have的宾语，又因为有冠词an，所以应该用appoint的名词形式appointment。
34． The father wants to know why his son (question) ________ by the police last week.
正确答案：was questioned
解析：本题考查被动语态/时态一致 时态一致。本句译文：这位父亲想知道他的儿子上周为什么被警察盘问。由by the police可知his son应该是被盘问；又由last week可知被盘问一事发生在上周，所以要用过去式。
35． The boy passed the finial exams. But if he had spent more time on them, the results (be) ________ much better.
正确答案：would have been
解析：本题考查虚拟语气。本句译文：这个孩子通过了期末考试，但是如果他在学习上再多花点时间，成绩会更好。此句使用虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反。条件句中用了had spent，所以主句中要用“would + have + 过去分词”这一结构。
Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
Do you know how to use a mobile phone (手机) without being rude to the people around you? Talking during a performance irritates (激怒) people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate (振动). When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance. Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places—especially enclosed spaces. Would you want to listen to someone’s conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off. When eating at a restaurant with friends, don’t place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you. Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others won’t hear the details of your conversations. If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone. Many people believe that they can’t live without their mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient, but limit your conversations to urgent ones and save the personal calls until you are at home.
36． What should you do when you need to answer a phone call during a performance?
A．Call back after the performance. B．Answer it near the exit door. C．Talk outside the exit door. D．Speak in a low voice.
正确答案：C
解析：本题为事实细节题。文章第二段末句说 When your mobile phone vibrates，you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance．(当电话振动时，你可以悄悄地离开，让其他人继续欣赏节目。)可见，在观看演出时，如果必须接电话，最好离开演出现场到外面接听，因此选C)。错误选项分析：因为题干中提到need to answer，所以“演出结束后回电话”便为时已晚，因此A)不符合题意；B)“在靠近出口的地方接听”，“靠近出口”还是在演出现场，与原文不符；D)“低声接听电话”同样会影响周围观众观看演出，与原文不符。
37． Putting your mobile phone on a restaurant table may make your friends think
A．you prefer to talk to your friends at the table B．you value your calls more than your friends C．you are enjoying the company of your friends D．you are polite and considerate of your friends
正确答案：B 解析：本题为事实细节题。文章第四段第二句说This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you．(这样做就表示你的电话比在座的各位都重要。)这与B)的意思一致。错误选项分析：A)“你喜欢和朋友在就餐时谈话”与手机无关，可以排除；C)“你对朋友的陪伴备感高兴”，文章没有提及；D)“你对朋友礼貌和体谅朋友”与事实相反。
38． When you are calling in a noisy area, you are advised to ________. A．use a more sensitive microphone B．shout loudly into your microphone
C．go away quietly to continue the phone call D．use your hand to help speak into the phone
正确答案：D
解析：本题为事实细节题。文章第五段末句说If you are calling from a noisy area，use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone．(如果在嘈杂环境中接听电话，要用你的手掩住话筒外侧，这样会使你的声音更集中。) 这与D)的意思一致。错误选项分析：A)“使用更灵敏的话筒”、B)“对着话筒大声说话”、C)“悄悄离开，换个地方接电话”文中均未提及。
39． The author implies that the use of mobile phones in such places as museums
should be ________.
A．limited B．expected C．discouraged D．recommended
正确答案：A 解析：本题为观点态度题。文章第三段首句说Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators，museums，churches or other indoor public places—especially enclosed spaces．(在电梯、博物馆、教堂或者其他室内公共场所，特别是密闭环境下使用手机应该三思而后行。)可见，作者的意思是：在像博物馆这样的环境中，接打手机不能毫无顾忌，应有所限制，即A)limited。错误选项分析：B)“许可”、C)“反对”、D)“推荐使用”语气都过于绝对，与题意无法契合。
40． Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．You should limit your mobile phone calls to personal affairs. B．You should speak quietly into your phone while in a church. C．You are supposed to turn off your mobile phone at a funeral. D．You are supposed to use your mobile phone as much as possible.
正确答案：C 解析：本题为事实细节题。文章第三段第三句说Worse yet，how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral!接下来在末句说：要想避免类似的尴尬局面，就要making sure your mobile phone is switched off.(确保你的手机是关闭的)，这里的switched off与C)中的turn off同义。错误选项分析：A)“只能用手机来谈论私事”与原文不符；文中只说在教堂打手机应该有所限制，并没有说应该speak quietly，故排除B)；D)“尽可能多使用手机”原文并未提及。
Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope. Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzo’s parents set out to prove the doctors wrong. The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to take them seriously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies weren’t interested in supporting research into such a rare disease. However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error (反复实验), they finally created a cure from ingredients (调料) commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named” Lorenzo’s Oil”, saved the boy’s life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory.
As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it. Finally, the boy’s father organized an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keeps ALD children healthy.
41． Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three years because ________. A．they had never treated the disease before B．Lorenzo was too young to be, cured C．no cure had been found for ALD D．ALD was a rare disease
正确答案：C 解析：本题为事实细节题。文章首段第二句Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD，and that he would probably die within three years．(医生解释说当前还没有治疗ALD的药，因此他很可能在3年内死亡。)因此选C)。错误选项分析：A)“医生们以前没有治疗过这种疾病”、B)“洛伦佐还太小，所以无法接受治疗”、D)“ALD是一种罕见的疾病”均不是医生们判定洛伦佐只能活3年的根本依据。
42． The families of other ALD patients thought that ________. A．the research for the new cure would cost too much money B．the efforts of Lorenzo’s parents were a waste of time C．Lorenzo’s parents would succeed in finding a cure D．Lorenzo’s oil was a real cure for ALD
正确答案：B
解析：本题为事实细节题。文章第二段末句说They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time…(他们认为寻找治疗ALD的方法只是在浪费时间…)因此选B)。错误选项分析：A)“新方法的研制将耗资巨大”，文章没有提及；C)“洛伦佐的父母最终会找到治疗的方法”，并非其他ALD患者家属的看法；因为当时Lorenzo’s oil 还未被发现，所以说它“是一种真正能治疗ALD的药物”还为时过早，故排除D)。
43． Scientists and doctors believed that Lorenzo’s Oil ________. A．was really effective B．was a success story C．only worked in theory D．would save the boy’s life
正确答案：C
解析：本题为事实细节题。文章第三段倒数第二句说They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory．(他们说没有确凿的证据证明Lorenzo’s oil 对这种疾病有疗效，这仅是理论上的治疗方法。)因此选C)。错误选项分析：A)“很有效果”、B)“是一个成功的案例”、D)“将会挽救男孩的生命”与文意不符，均非科学家和医生们的观点。
44． Lorenzo’s father organized an international study to ________. A．test Lorenzo’s Oil B．get financial support
C．find a cure for the disease D．introduce the cure worldwide
正确答案：A
解析：本题为事实细节题。文章末段首句说the boy’s father organized an international study to test the oil ．(孩子的父亲组织了一个科研小组来检测这种药的疗效。)这种药即指Lorenzo’s oil，因此选A)。错误选项分析：B)“获得资金上的支持”、C)“找治疗疾病的方法”、D)“把这种药物推广到全世界”文中均未提及。
45． From the passage we can conclude that ________ A．doctors remain doubtful of the effectiveness of the cure B．many ALD patients still refuse to use the oil C．various cures have been found for ALD D．the oil really works as a cure for ALD
正确答案：D
解析：本题为事实细节题。文章末句说After ten years of trials，the answer is the oil keeps ALD children healthy.(长达10年的试验最终证明：这种药物能使ALD病患儿童恢复健康。)可见这种药物对ALD具有治愈效果。错误选项分析：A)“医生们仍旧对该药物的效果持怀疑态度”只是片面观点，不是最终结论；文中第三段未句所说的reluctant意为“不情愿”，并非“拒绝”，因此排除B)“很多患者拒绝使用这种药物”；C)“各种ALD的治疗方法均已找到”文中没有提及。

Task 5Directions: The following is a passage. After reading the passage you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No.56 through No.60) following them.
The Singapore underground train system, known as the MRT, offers a speedy and easy way to get about our city. You’ll need small change to buy an individual ticket. Alternatively, buy a special ticket designed with the tourist in mind. Costing $6 ,it offers $5.50 worth of rides; the extra 50 cents is for keeping the ticket as a souvenir (纪念品). Tourist tickets feature one of three designs: the Chinese Gardens, the Victoria Memorial Hall or a night skyline of Singapore. You gain entry to the trains by inserting your ticket into the barrier machine (检票闸机). Wait for the ticket to reappear and put it away safely: you’ll need it again. After your trip, you insert your ticket into the barrier in order to leave. Please note that each ticket is time coded on entry, and you are advised not to spend more than half an hour in addition to travel time, because tickets can expire (失效). Moving stairs that take you to the platform and train destinations are marked clearly. Trains run frequently. Do remember, eating and drinking are forbidden in MRT stations and trains.
