答案
36---55 BCADC ABBDC DBCBA DACAD
解析
36.A、C意思不符，可排除，learn可直接与Spanish相连，不能加his，故选B，意为“提高……水平”。答案为B。
37.in person意为“亲自”，是与后文中的“speaking on the phone”对照的。A项slowly“慢慢地”；B项in public“公开地”；D项carefully“仔细地，认真地”，均不符合题意。答案为C。
38.“have (some/no) difficulty (in) doing sth”是固定用法，意为“做某事有/没有困难”。答案为A。
39.根据上下文，可知此处应为一个转折关系的连词，用“however”。答案为D。
40.句子主、谓、宾俱全，欠缺修饰词，seldom是“很少”，just是“仅仅、只是”，even表“甚至”，只有still“仍然”，符合题意，表达与上句相反意思。答案为C。
41.从下文中Andy把起飞时间弄错了，说明Andy没有理解the clerk说的话，从上文他能面对面和别人交流而不能通过电话，我们可知道应是called。答案为A。
42.also是“而且，还，也”，是指the clerk除了告诉Andy他问的问题外，还告诉他一些另外的信息。答案为B。
43.时间段+earlier表示提前多长时间，before是在某个点时间之前，later，after不符合题意，答案为B。
44. 因为leave是短暂性动词，用进行时态代替过去将来时，而其他A、B、C则不可以。答案为D。
45.这句话意思为：因为Andy三天后就要离开，他不浪费一点时间。A项take time“不紧不慢”；B项have time“有时间”；D项find time“找时间”，均不正确。答案为C。
46.Andy这样想时他还在西班牙，指的是从他的国家再次来到西班牙，故用come back。答案为D。
47.此处副词应修饰动词arrived，只能是“来得快”故用quickly。A项shortly“不久以后”；B项badly“严重地，恶劣地”；D项early“早的”，均不符合题意。答案为B。
48.从上句中他提前到达，表明Andy不喜欢“匆忙”，A、B不合语意，应排除，delay是“耽搁，推迟”并不能在文中体现。答案为C。
49.句意为让the clerk看他的票，他已有票，buy(买)order(定)不合题意，provide是“提供”，他并不是把票让给the clerk，故用present“向……显示……之意”。答案为B。
50.很容易看出，由于Andy的票已过期了，他却要找那架已飞走的飞机，他当然是astonished(惊奇的)故用with astonishment。答案为A。
51.应用时间状语，因为句意是说明时间。答案为D。
52.B意为“道歉”，不合题意，C为回答，而后边“Will I have…”是问句，用“回答”不合适，同样D为“要求”，而前边“But I confirmed…”是叙述不合适。答案为A。
53.look是“神色”的意思。这儿指的是他吃惊的神色。A项experience“经历，经验”；B项expression“表达”；D项face，均不符合。答案为C。
54.我们已知Andy不想离开Spain，当他得知他还有三天时间时，当然高兴。答案为A。
55. plan是计划，而这一切在计划之外，是突发状况，flight是指乘飞机的旅程journey
指陆上的旅行，而Andy由于耽误了飞机，要在Spain呆上三天，不能说旅程，只能用vacation。答案为D。

Geneva is situated between the Jura Range and the Alps on the western end of Lake Geneva. Capital of Peace is one of its names— the European headquarters of the United Nations lies here in Palais des Nations. Another worthy name for this city with a humanitarian tradition（人道主义传统）and international character is the World’s Smallest Metropolis. Parks, splendid stores and lively streets in the old part of town and its 2000-year history wait to be discovered.
The Jet d’Eau together with the Flower Watch are the main attractions every year for the tourists visiting Geneva. The Jet d’Eau has become the symbol（象征）of Geneva for a long time. This is a 140 meters high water monument with a rich history. Eight 13,500-watt projectors light the grand column（圆柱）of the fountain in the evening, from early March until the second Sunday of October. The Flower Watch, which was created at the edge of the English Garden in 1955, reminds us about that Geneva is the birthplace of the Swiss clock and watch making, and that this industry has become internationally famous, as well through the quality of the watches as through their beautiful appearance.
Sails on Lake Geneva are also enjoyable. The Lake of Geneva, lying among the Alps, is a true inland sea, making possible a wide range of pleasant boat trips, you can relax and watch the beautiful scenes pass by.
56. Which of the following is NOT suitable for describing Geneva?
A. Capital of Peace. B. Palais des Nations.
C. The World’s Smallest Metropolis.
D. The birthplace of the Swiss clock and watch making.
57. The Jet d’Eau in the second paragraph refers to .
A. the water fountain B. the English Garden
C. a new scene with electric lighting D. the name of a famous watchmaker
58. What do we learn about the Lake of Geneva from the text?
A. It is the symbol of Geneva.
B. It lies among the Jura Range.
C. It has a direct passage to the ocean.
D. It is a large body of water of tourist interest.
Since many of you are planning to study at a college or university in this country, you may be curious to know what you usually do in a typical week, how you can get along with your fellow students, and so on. These are the questions I want to discuss with you today.
First, let’s talk about what your weekly schedule will look like. No matter what your major may be, you can expect to spend between four and six hours a week for each class attending lectures. Lectures are usually in very large rooms because some courses such as introduction to sociology or economics often have as many as two or three hundred students, especially at large universities. In lectures, it’s very important for you to take notes on what the professor says because the information a lecture is often different from the information in your textbooks. Also, you can expect to have exam questions based on the lectures. So it isn’t enough to just read your textbooks; you have to attend lectures as well. In a typical week you will also have a couple of hours of discussion for every class you take. The discussion section is a small group meeting usually with fewer than thirty students where you can ask questions about the lectures, the reading, and the homework. In large universities, graduate students, called teaching assistants, usually direct discussion sections.
If your major is chemistry, or physics, or another science, you’ll also have to spend several hours a week in the lab, or laboratory, doing experiments. This means that science majors spend more time in the classroom than non science majors do. On the other hand, people who major in subjects like literature or history usually have to read and write more than science majors do.
59. The main purpose of this text is .
A. to help the students to learn about university life
B. to persuade the students to attend lectures
C. to encourage the students to take part in discussions
D. to advise the students to choose proper majors
60. We can learn from the passage that university professors .
A. spend about 5 hours on lectures each week
B. must join the students in the discussion sections
C. prefer to use textbooks in their lectures
D. require the students to read beyond the textbooks
61. A discussion section does NOT include .
A. working under the guidance of university professors
B. talking over what the students have read about the courses
C. discussing the problems related to the students’ homework
D. raising questions about what a professor has said in a lecture
62. According to the author, science majors .
A. have to work harder than non science majors
B. spend less time on their studies than non science majors
C. consider experiments more important than discussions
D. read and write less than non science majors
Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand （品牌） of product on the shelf.
Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged （包装）in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 per cent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote （推销） their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius （天才） to sell it.”
64. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?
A. The cost of its package. B. The price of the product.
C. The colour of its package. D. The brand name of the product.
65. The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off”（in Para. 3 ） means that the colours _____.
A. attracted the customers strongly B. had weak effects on the customers
C. tricked the customers into shopping D. caused the customers to lose interest
66. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A. The way to promote goods. B. The discovery of a genius.
C. The team to produce a good product. D. The brand name used by successful producers.
67. Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
A. Choice of Good Products B. Disadvantages of Products
C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks
