12.We couldn't eat in a restaurant because__________of us had__________ money on us.
A.all; no B.any; no C.none; any D.no one; any
参考答案：C
参考解析：
从前半句提供的信息来看，后半句应该是一个完全否定句，而A项中由all引导的句子是不完全否定的句子，即“不全都……”，应予以排除。
13.It is a small country，yet has a lot of__________resources.
A.potential B.unknown C.secret D.unlimited
参考答案：A
参考解析：
potential“潜在的”;unknown“不可知的”;secret“秘密的”;unlimited“无限制的”。根据题干，可知A项是正确的。句意为：“这个国家很小，但它潜在的能源却很丰富。”

参考答案：C
参考解析：
course“课程，过程”;cause“引起，造成”;create“引起，产生”;rise“上升，起立”。8、C两项都有“引起”的意思，但B项不是动词原形，不能跟在can后。所以，C项是正确的。句意为：“中国和西方(在文化和风俗上)的不同会引起误解。”

A.if they are handled properly and protected properly
B.unless handling and protecting properly
C.if properly handled and protected
D.unless for all its handling and protection
参考答案：C
参考解析：
if意为“如果”，而unless意为“除非”，相当于if...not。根据句意可知，应选择if引导的条件状语从句。当if引导的从句与主句的主语相同时，可以用“if+分词”结构。
17.What\we must do now__________make a careful investigation on the circumstances.
A.are B.is C.is to D.were to
参考答案：C
参考解析：
本句的主语是What we must do now，这是一个表示单数的主语从句，而空格后是一个动词短语，因此选择C项，即动词不定式作表语。
18.The letters PTO__________parent-teacher organization.
A.stand for B.call for C.head for D.care for
参考答案：A
参考解析：
stand for意为“代表，表示”，是一个固定搭配。
19.__________round the city,we were impressed by the city's new look.
A.Taken B.Taking C.To be taken D.Being taken
参考答案：A
参考解析：
此题考查分词的用法。句子的主语是we，所给动词是take“带领，带着”，而且主句的时态是一般过去时，因此空格处应选过去分词taken，表被动、完成。
20.It is no use__________ that you didn't know the truth.
A.pretend B.to be pretending C.pretending D.Pretended
参考答案：C
参考解析：
“It is no use/good+动名词短语”是一个固定的句型，It是形式主语，真正的主语是动名词短语，意为“……是没有用/好处的”。

IV. Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)
Directions:There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by fourquestions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
根据下面内容，回答题：
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is painful? This might be called lazi-ness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. Forsome people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No,one has discovered why this is so ,but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语)as: "Get up,John! You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at histemperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wivesreahze what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit canhelp, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late any-way. Counteract(对抗)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. Ifyour energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise beforeyour usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam(鼓起干劲) and work better atyour low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit onthe edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble some search forclean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the after-noon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
36.Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
A.Unawareness of energy cycles. B.Familiar monologues.
C.A change in a family member's energy cycle. D.Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family member.
参考答案：A
参考解析：
文中第二段最后一句表明，了解能量周期可以结束家庭成员之间的争吵。
37.If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning,he should__________.
A.change his energy cycle B.overcome his laziness
C.get up earlier than usual D.go to bed earlier

文中第三段谈到了对抗能量周期的方法，故答案是C项。
38.You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will
A.help to keep your energy for the day's work B.help you to control your temper early in the day
C.enable you to concentrate on your routine work D.keep your energy cycle under control all day
参考答案：A
参考解析：
在文中第四段第一句“Get off to aslow start which saves your energy.”后，接着就写到了具体的例子，因此答案选A项。
39.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's e,nnergy.
B.Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.
C.Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.
D.Children have energy cycles, too.

Alaska, which was called Russian America before it was sold to the United States of America,
joined the union as the forty-ninth state in 1959.
Alaska is now the largest of all the 50 states of the United States.
It was in 1867 that President A. Johnson's Secretary of State ( 国务卿 ), Seward bought Alaskafrom the Russians at a cost of 7.2 million. The buying of the huge northern land mass seemed at firstsomething foolishly done. Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in, and itappeared to have no importance in time of war. Besides, there are volcanoes there as Alaska lies onthe Pacific "ring of fire" (火山带). In Alaska large treeless areas are covered with snow all theyear. For these reasons the buying of Alaska was called "Seward's Fooly" at that time.
However, in 1596 gold was found in Alaska,and people poured into the land quickly. Since thenother important natural resources were discovered, including oil. Soon people changed their thinkingabout "Seward's Fooly". But most people visit Alaska in order to see the endless beauty of naturethat the northern land discloses to them. For instance ,there are about 11,000 islands in Alaska. Andin a certain area of Alaska the sun does not set for 52 days every year.

Many people want to know how to analyze problems they meet. There are six stages in analyzing
a problem.
First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken,and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find thereason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, thebrakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specfic.
Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possi-ble solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is some-thing wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read aboutgears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop.
After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution.Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be:put oil on the gear wheels;buy new gearwheels and replace the old ones;tighten or loosen the gear wheels.
Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final ideacomes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a newway. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels.He immediately realizes the solution to his problem:he must clean the gear wheels.
Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle
works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.
52.In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except __________ .
A.recognize and define the problem B.look for information to make the problem clearer
C.have suggestions for a possible solution D.find a solution by trial or mistake
参考答案：D
参考解析：
A项在第二段能够找到;8项在第四段能够找到;C项在倒数第二段能够找到。D项文中没有提到，故符合题意。
53.By referring to Sam's broken bicycle,the author intends to __________ .
A.illustrate the ways to repair his bicycle B.discuss the problems of this bicycle
C.tell us how to solve a problem D.show us how simple it is to repair a bicycle
参考答案：C
参考解析：
以Sam为例告诉读者如何解决问题。这也是全篇的中心。C项是正确的。
54.As used in the last sentence,the phrase "in short" means __________ .
A.in the long run B.in detail C.in fact D.in a word
参考答案：D
参考解析：
这里应是总结或归纳性质的。in thelong run“就长远来说”;in detail“就细节而言”;infact“事实上”;in a word“简言之，一句话”。D项是正确的。
55.What is the best title for this passage?
A.Six Stages for Repairing Sam's Bicycle. B.Possible Steps of Problem-solving.
C.Necessities of Problem Analysis. D.Importance of Analyzing a Problem.
参考答案：B
参考解析：
B项是正确的。作者以Sam为例，但并不是告诉读者如何修Sam的车(A项);文章也并不是谈分析问题的必要性或重要性(C项或D项)。
