My View on On-campus College Students’ Marriage
It is a new thing that Chinese on-campus college students are legally allowed to get married before they complete their courses. Many people applaud this new development while others have expressed their concern about this.
Those who disapprove of this new trend believe that college stundents will inevitably have less time and energy for their academic life. One common argument, however, for on-compus college students’ marriage is that a number of students do have a desire for an ideal marriage. Now that they have come of age, they are entitled to such happiness.
Of the two views discussed above, I’m in favor of the former. My reason is that on-campus students are laden with academic tasks. If one gets married now, he or she has to work much harder than other students because they have to solve their financial problems at the same time. As a married couple, for instance, they are supposed to rent a room in or outside the university, which will naturally add to their spending.
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

B 由題乾的人名關鍵詞Margaret Wheatley 可將答案定位至第一個小標題下第一段末尾：Just think of the words of Margaret Wheatley：“Relationships are all there is have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone.”原文指出了瑪格麗特?惠特利的觀點，即宇宙中任何事物都是聯絡中存在著，沒有事物可以完全孤立，我們也不能再假裝認為我們是可以獨立生活的個體。從而強調了人與人之間聯絡及合作的重要性，四個個選項中只有選項B表達了這個意思。
3. A 由題幹關鍵詞business contacts 可將答案定位至第一個小標題下第三段。由本段最後一句：I guarantee your work will become easier and more joyful if you make more of your business relationships personal. business contacts 指在生意上的合作伙伴，原文指出，如果能把工作關係變得更加私人化，那麼工作將更加簡單而快樂。make something+adj., 表示“使…變得…”，四個選項中，只有A的表達與之相同。
4. D 題幹關鍵詞humble experiences 與原文humble beginnings 意義相近，可將答案定位至第一小標題下第五段第一、二句。由第二句They immediately empathize and feel more endeared to me than ever before. 原文表明，當作者把自己的卑微經歷告訴人們之後，並沒有得到大家的嘲笑和瞧不起，相反，由於大家的身同感受反而使彼此的距離更加拉近了，humble experiences與humb beginnings是同義轉述，表示自己過去卑微的經歷，四個選項中，只是D項的表述與原文一致。

8. higher-order passion 由題幹關鍵詞deep expertise 可將答案定位至第三個小標題下第五段第三句：If you want to become more valuable… you must develop expertise in your mind and root some higher-order passion in your heart. 此處應填入名詞性成分，與deep expertise 一起用作介詞with的賓語，原文中的develop deep expertise與root some higher-order passion是表示並列的兩個動作行為，因此根據題幹句意，此處應填入higher-order passion，表示“更高漲的熱情”。

11.M: I need a DVD-player, but I don’t know where to buy them in this town.

Q: What can be inferred from the conversation ?
12.M: Excuse me. Are the frozen foods on special today ?
W: Yes, they’re a bargain today, and so is the dairy section.
Q: Where are the two speakers ?
13.M:I bet our team wil win the game. We’re already four scores ahead of the other team.
W:You can never tell. It’s still a bird in the bush.
Q:What does the woman mean ?

18.M:I have to admit you have a beautiful garden. How do you do it ? You must have hired a gardener.

Q:Why does the woman have a beautiful garden ?
Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W:What did you think about the movie ?
M:Well… I think Harry Potter Ⅴ is an excellent piece of work . But not as good as the previous ones.
W:Really ? I don’t agree. I think it was incredible !
M:Why do you think so ?
W:Well, one of the most spectacular things about it is the special effects.
M:You’re right. The special effects created so many fantastic settings and mysterious costumes,
weapons and creatures. The sprecial effects are the main reason for the success of this movie.
W:It’s kind of cool that they still use the themes song for this movie.
M:Yearh! It reminds me of the previous scenes.
W:I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me feel homesick.
M:I thought the overall plot of the movie was very interesting. But I don’t think the character development was that strong just don’t have a lot of funny or meaningful writing was a little boring and this may be the only one weakness of this movie.
W:Well, maybe, but I like the little kid who played young “Anakin Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that role.
M:I like him too. He’s so cute !You know, even though I was slightly disappointed, I can’t wait for the next episode. I wonder when they’re going to start making it and when it’s scheduled for release.
W:I have no idea. But I hope it’ll be even better than this one.
M:I hope so, too.
are the two speakers talking about ?

Conversation Two
W:I feel very excited that there are only less than 300 days left for 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
M:Yeah, I can’t wait to watch the games.
W:So do me. Will you book the tickets ?
M:Of course ! I would love to watch the Opening Ceremonies and some ball games. One of my
favorites is the Olympic Flame.
W:That’s always spectacular, isn’t it ? I think it’s a great tradition to start each Olympic with a new flame and then have the athletes and others pass the torch.
M:Did you know that to follow an ancient tradition, the Olympic Committee lights the flame on Mount Olympial using a mirror to focus the sun’s light ?
W:I didn’t realize … it would be nice to attend the lighting ceremony. I think it would be more fun, though, to run through the streets with the torch and pass it to someone else.
M:Sounds like you’ve caught the spirit of it. Today, passing the flame is meant to pass light and wisdom onto others.
W:Yeah. What I find also amazing is that the flame stays lit the whole period of the Olympic Games. Obviously, the Olympic Committee takes extra precaution to make sure the flames won’t die.
M:I guess that’s a key part of the tradition.
is the man’s favorite ?
lights the Olympic Flame ?
does the flame stand for ?

Passage Two
For many years now we have been referring to English as a gobal language, as the language of communication and technology, because it is used as a means of communication between, for example, a German scientist and an Italian politician.
Very soon English will be the second language of all the people in the world. This is happening while I am speaking to you . English will be a compulsory subject on every school curriculum throughout the world.
And what exactly does all of this mean for native speakers of English? Well , we are already in a minority. The widely used English won’t be British English or American English. It’ll be Majority English in the future. As more and more people speak English, it makes sense that they will become more competent. They will start to control more of the English resources being produced and to have a say in what should or shouldn’t be included in dictionaries and language books. This might seem far fetched but it is already starting to happen.
So native English speakers will be no longer competitive, since we will be the only people in the world who speak just one language. Because, there won’t be much of a reason for native English speakers to learn a second lauguage.
All of you native English speakers out there, whether you’re planning to visit Eastern Europe or the Himalayas, one thing you won’t have to worry about is the language !
29. Why has English been referred to as global language ?
will be the widely used English in the future ?
will native English speakers be no longer competitive ?
Passage Three
You may have heard recently about what is being called the return of political cinema, following recent releases such as The Constant Gardener. So today I’m going to look at what political cinema is, and the history of political film making in Hollywood.
First of all, what do I mean by political cinema ? The terms refer to films that make people aware of political or social situations. For example, the film Hotel Rwanda caused many people to take notice of the political situation in Rwanda for perhaps the first time.
For many, the most prosperous period of political film making was the 1970s. Watergate, the Vietnam War, and famous actors with social consciences such as Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and Warren Beatty, made for a number of political films. Think of All the President’s Men, which detailed the corruption in Watergate.
Political film making didn’t start in the seventies, though. Back in the 1940s and 1950s Hollywood produced films detailing social problems such as unemployment. In 1967 Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, a comedy about a white couple whose daughter brings home a black boyfriend, covered a subject of inter-racial relationships.
As I said, the seventies saw a sudden increase in political films, which carried on to some extent into the eighties, with the release of films such as Gandhi. The nineties is not generally seen as a good decade for political cinema. Schindler’s List stands out, which brings us to the present decade.
is the passage about ?
is political film the most prosperous ?
h film is about the Watergate episode ?
were political films produced in the 1940s and 1950s about ?

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)
Section A
proves how dangerous the newer virus is. 本題問的是認識西班牙流感病毒和亞洲禽流感病毒的相似性的重要意義，定位到第三段中的“Nevertheless, the similarities… provide unusually concrete evidence of how dangerous the newer virus is.”
nce and Nature. 答案見第四段
reconstructed the Spanish flu virus 此題題干與第五段首句意思相近。本題需填選that 引導的表語從句，故將原文的動名詞結構reconstructing the Spanish flu virus 轉換成主謂結構。
ase a long-awaited pandemic plan 見第六段中的 “… if necessary, and that the government’s long-awaited pandemic plan will be release soon. 據題幹要求，將本段末尾句的賓語被動式從句結構轉換為主動式。

Section B
Passage One
52.A 此題題乾的後半句話與文章首段的含義接近，但題乾的核心部分是What proved。根據第一段最後兩句的內容及展開句與主題句之間的邏輯關係可知，選項A為正確答案。
53.B wrong focus 出現在文章第一段，但第一段並未具體談到錯誤的研究重心是什麼，根據第二段的第二句話可推斷出，研究者把工作的重心放在了尋求那些準備不充分的學生身上，故B為正確答案。
54.C 根據第三段可知，作者認為他的方法會導致學生在不能改正缺點時，就不能追求自己所感興趣的事情，也會被告知自己不具備大學生的素質，所以很可能他們會遭受強烈的挫折感，從而失去繼續努力學習的信心和興趣，故C為正確答案。
55.B 題幹中的deficits 在文章第三段先後出現了好幾次，是此段的關鍵詞，deficits是經濟學術語，意為“虧損”，在本文中意為“缺陷、不足”。根據本句中它與remove 的搭配，以及此句後半句 “their ‘problems’ have been overcome” 猜測出該詞詞義為deficiencies。
56.D 作者對“注重開發學生長處來促進其學習的方法”的態度體現在最後一段最後一句， 他認為此法能促進學生，使他們具有行動(agency)的力量，能幫助年輕人完成學業;而A,B,C 三個選項都是對此段內容的誤讀，故D為正確答案。
Passage Two
57.D 題幹中的the most wanted man 出現在第一段第一句中， 但問題的答案需要考生查讀至第二段才能找到：Dowes Ginting 引起國際專家的恐慌主要因為他是目前傳染性最強的疾病病毒攜帶者，他的出走使得附近的居民處於被傳染的危險狀態，所以專家們希望儘快找到他。故選D為正確答案。
58.C 根據文章第三段末句和和第四段開頭中的if從句可以判定，他們最擔心禽流感會轉變成一種可能在人群中傳播的疾病，那麼染病去世的人數會無法估量。 故C為正確答案。
59.B 採用排除法， 將原文與各個選項對照進行仔細閱讀， 可以得知藥物應送至離發病區至少三英里的範圍內，所以不能說四英里就不該得到藥物，故B為正確答案。
60.A 根據文章最後兩段可知，當地居民不願意去醫院就醫， 而寧願相信巫術，所以不會和疾病專家合作，文章首段也提到過Dowes Ginting 逃離醫院後，在巫醫那裡尋求治療方法的案例，故A 為正確答案。
61.A 可根據文章首尾段判斷當地居民的不合作態度， 緣於他們對禽流感疾病缺乏足夠的認識， 他們不相信醫學，所以才寧願選擇其他不合適的方法進行治療故A為正確答案。
PartV Cloze
62.B 由and可知所填的詞與alive是並列關係。B項thriving“興旺的”符合文意，與傳統婚姻的困難形成對比關係。A項surviving“繼續存在的”;C項booming“急速發展的”;D項existing“現有的”。
63.C 所填詞與空後的to 搭配。根據上下文可知這裡是用來和歐洲人作比較的，故選C。relative to意為“相對於”。其他選項均與文意不符。
64.D 分析上下文可知，空後邊的部分是對前文內容的進一步說明，故所填詞應該表示遞進關係。四個選項中只有D項Moreover表示遞進。
65.C 由句意可知，所填詞與marriage和decline 形成語義場共現，C項rate符合文意，表示二十世紀七十年代早期美國結婚率下降。
66.B 本句的主、從句之間是對比關係。前一句講到七十年代結婚率下降，故本句應該是結婚率上升了，比率的上升用increase。improve表示“改善，改進”。raise表示“上升，舉起”。通常不與rate連用。
67.A 由空後的remarry可知，主語應是離過婚的人，故選A。B項separated“分開的”;C項isolated “孤立的”;D項broken“破碎的”。
68.D 空前的句子提到結婚率上升，空後的句子提到婚姻仍是大多數所喜歡的生活方式，故前後兩個句子之間是因果關係，只有D項Thus構成因果關係，故為答案。
69.A 上句提到比婚姻(marry)變化更大的是核心家庭，即小家庭(the nuclear family)。與此相比，在25年前由丈夫、妻子和兩三個孩子組成的家庭應該是典型的美國家庭，故選A。B項conservative “保守的”;C項traditional“傳統的”;D項fashionable“時尚的”。
70.D 前面提到25年前典型的美國家庭一般有兩三個孩子，空後提到許多夫妻決定不要孩子，這是在拿過去和現在作對比，故D為答案。
71.A 根據上下文可推知，許多家庭裡至少有幾個孩子是來自其父母以前的婚姻家庭，這裡考查的是at構成的短語的辨析。at least“至少”;at most“最多”;at best“至多”;at worst“最壞”，故A符合文意。
72.C 根據上下文可推測，該句是說許多孩子來自父母以前的婚姻家庭，故C項previous“早先的`，以前的”符合文意。A項primitive“原始的，古老的”;B項prior“優先的，在前的”;D項preliminary “預備的，初步的”。
73.D 該句中的these children 指的是那些離婚家庭的孩子，他們所跟的父母應是原有婚姻中一方，故答案為D。
74.B 由該空前邊的分號可知該空前後的兩個分句是並列關係，前一個分句中出現了sometimes ，後一分句應該與其對應，也用sometimes，故選B。
75.C 該空所在句與後面幾個分句之間用分號隔開表明，它們之間是並列關係，介紹的都是家庭的型別。後面幾個句子介紹的都是有孩子的家庭，並提到了孩子的來源。該句沒有講到孩子來自何處，故可知這裡介紹的是沒有孩子的家庭，故選C。
76.C 經分析可知這四個分句是按照孩子的情況由簡單到複雜的順序來排列的。上一句講到沒有孩子的家庭，後邊兩句講到既有現在的婚姻中生的孩子，又有原來的婚姻中生的孩子的情況，依次遞進。因此這裡應該講目前婚姻中生的孩子，故選C。
77.D 本段介紹在不同婚姻狀態下孩子的情況，故選D。A項affection “感情”、B項happiness“幸福”、C項loves“愛情”均不符合文意。
78.B 從文中所列舉的多種婚姻狀況看，一個孩子有四個父母和八個祖父母的事情是不足為奇的，故選B
79.A 從文章中所描述的現代婚姻的情況來看，現在的家庭和傳統的核心家庭已經有了很大的變化，A項enormous“巨大的，極大的”符合文意。B項considerable“相當大的”，通常與不可數名詞或amount之類表數量的詞連用。C項numerous “許多的，無數的”，通常指數量。D項giant“巨大的”。一般用來修飾體積。
80.B 前文提到美國的家庭狀況相對於從前發生了很大的變化，後文指出大多數美國人都會結婚，由此可知這兩個句子之間是轉折關係，故選B項But，與even so(即使如此)在語氣上保持一致。
81.D 雖然美國家庭發生了許多變化，可是有一點是不變的，即大多數美國人成年後都會結婚。此處為介詞短語提前引起的全部倒裝，所以空中應填一不及物動詞，故選D項remains“剩餘，保留”。A項retains雖然也意為“保持，留”，但其是及物動詞，故不選。
Part Ⅵ Translation
interrupted me that evening 本題考查對interrupt用法的掌握。 interrupt意為”打斷(某人)的講話,打擾”, “打擾某人”可用interrupt sb. 來表達,因為interrupt發生在本句中的動詞was之前,所以用had interrupted。
rwise we would have telephoned him 本題考查對虛擬語氣的掌握。句中的otherwise “否則” 是對前面所述事實的否定,實際上相當於一個與過去事實相反的虛擬條件句,即If we had known his telephone number,因此後面句子應該採用相應的虛擬語氣,謂語動詞用would have done 的形式。
the nurses want a pay increase 本題考查對倒裝結構的掌握。含有否定意義的詞或短語在句中作狀語時,如位於句首,則其所在句要求部分倒裝。本句中not only(不僅)明顯含有否定意義,故其所在的句子需要部分倒裝,應將助動詞do提到主語the nurses之前。
extent of the damage caused by the fire / the extent of the damage that the fire caused 表示 “損害的程度”,一般用the extent of the damage; “火災造成的”可以翻譯成定語從句,也可以直接用過去分詞作後置定語。
ite the wonderful acting / In spite of the wonderful acting 本題考查對despite和in spite of用法的掌握。”精妙的演技”與後面的well-developed plot(構思巧妙的情節)是由and連線的並列成分，由此可知,本句中的”儘管”不能用連詞來表達,而只能用介詞despite 或介詞短語in spite of。
