第一节 完形填空 (共10小题;每小题2分，满分20分)

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21—30各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

It is the duty of every man to work. The lazy man wastes his time, and his   21   is of no use to himself or to others. The man who is too lazy to work is the man who is   22   most ready to beg or to steal. Everyone when he is young should learn some useful work.

But it is not   23   that one should learn some kind of work. He should work hard, and not waste his spare minutes or half hours. “Work while you work and play while you play” is as good a   24   for young people as for old.

There is no   25   aid to diligence than the habit of early rising, and this, like all other good habits, and must make easily   26   in youth.

There is an English saying “Lost time never returns”. This   27   that everybody must be diligent, and must make good use of his time. One must study hard when he is young, so that he may succeed in his   28   and become useful to his country.

I have   29   heard that those who are diligent will become beggars, but I know that lazy fellows will become beggars. Therefore, I should say that diligence is the   30   of success.

21. A. work           B. life            C. body                 D. idea

22. A. likely          B. rarely         C. generally           D. luckily

23. A. true             B. enough       C. effective            D. difficult

24. A. lesson          B. advice        C. instruction         D. rule

25. A. better          B. other          C. more                 D. less

26. A. gained         B. grown        C. existed                     D. formed

27. A. means          B. shows        C. illustrates          D. suggests

28. A. childhood    B. study         C. life                   D. youth

29. A. often           B. always              C. sometimes         D. never

30. A. way             B. road           C. mother                     D. father

答案：21-25 BCBDA   26-30 DACDC

解析：21. B。既然是浪费时间，那么变得没意义的东西就是他的生命。22. C。likely和rarely不能与most ready搭配，而luckily与之前的too lazy意思相左，所以选generally最合适。23. B。根据后文的“work hard, and not waste his spare minutes”可知仅仅是learn some kind of work是不够的。24. D。无论老少，这样做是一种准则(rule)，但这不能算是教导(instruction)或是建议(advice)。25. A。因为是good habit，所以前面合理的说法应该是：没有更好的(no better)。26. D。要选与habit搭配的动词form。27. A。解释前一句话的意思，用means。28. C。年轻时努力，生命中(in his life)变成功。29. D。通过前后两分句的转折关系可看到前面应该用否定形式。30. C。勤奋是成功的前提，也就是“mother of success”。

第二节 语法填空 (共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分)

阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为31～40的相应位置上。

You may be in a hurry to get your software released(发行) to the masses and start making lots of money, but if you fail to have it tested first   31   you release it, you are asking for trouble. Using a software testing service may delay the release of your software, but it will keep you   32   getting into trouble.

A testing service is   33   that will test your software   34   look for bugs(漏洞,缺陷). This will help to ensure that the software program is working   35  (proper) before it is released.   36   good reason to use a testing service is that they can detect problems   37   can result in damages to a company by the software.

So if you are starting   38   own software designing company, do not skip this step. When you finally get to release your new software, you want to be able to know without a doubt that it is the   39  (good) software that it can be. It can make the difference between making and   40 (break) your software development business.

答案：31. before  32. from  33. one  34. and  35. properly  36. Another  37. that/which  38. your  39. best  40. breaking

解析：31. have it tested和you lease it存在的是时间上的先后关系，根据短文可以判断用before。 32. 从本句中的but可以判断出，using a software testing肯定是有益的，但getting into trouble所表达的意思显然不是“有益”而是“有麻烦”，要改变它的意思，需要在其之前加from，“keep…from…”表示“使…没有/不会”。 33. 根据主句的结构，用one来代替a service。34. 动词“test”和“look for”是并列关系，用and连接。 35. 修饰动词working需要用副词。 36. 前面已经提到了一个原因(即help to ensure…)，这里要讲的是另一个原因。 37. that或which引导定语从句，用以说明testing service能够检查到什么类型的问题。 38. 根据主语(you)可知要用your。 39. 根据空格前的定完冠词the就知道要用最高级形式best。40. 考查介词短语的用法。between…and…连接的是两个并列的结构，而与前面making相对应的应该是breaking。

Ⅲ 阅读 (共两节，满分40分)

第一节 阅读理解 (共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry.” This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?

The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing—the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn’t write anything on the board.

The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers(层次) of meaning. Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn’t happen much in undergraduate(本科) science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学).

Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.”

But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.

41. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Students in a science class don’t have to take notes.

B. Spoken words are quite important in a poetry class.

C. In humanities classes, teachers don’t write anything on blackboard.

D. In science classes, teachers use lots of tables and drawing but not words.

42. What do we know about this unusual class?

A. The teachers did lots of writing on the board

B. The teachers were invited to attend several lectures.

C. The students were professors from a university

D. The students were studying science and humanities.

43. The experiment was designed to find out

A. how to teach the students in the science class

B. whether poetry is difficult for science students

C. what to be taught in the humanities class

D. why many humanities students find science hard.

44. Finding levels of meaning is            .

A. important for graduate students in humanities

B. difficult for graduate students in humanities

C. common for undergraduate students in science

D. easy for undergraduate students in science.

45. What did the science professors learn after the experiment?

A. They should change the way they teach
