分值
           
A.That
B.It
C.As
D.What
您的答案是:
正确答案:C
解析:本题测试的是定语从句的用法。全句的意思是:“正如预计的那样,这个问题的答案很混乱。”as用作关系代词,可以引出一个非限定性定语从句,指代整个主句,在从句中充当主语。as引导的从句位置较灵活,可以位于主句前面、中间或后面,一般用逗号与主句隔开,通常译为“(正)如……一样,(正)像……一样”。根据句意,应选答案C。

分值
           
A.Who
B.Whoever
C.Anyone
D.Someone
您的答案是:
正确答案:B
解析:主语从句。引导主语从句的词有从属连词、连接代词、连接副词等,它们在句中不能省略。who,what,which等连接代词可与-ever一起构成合成连接词,引导主语从句时,它们在从句中充当句子成分,-ever起强调作用。whoever比who语气强。这类主语从句不能用it作形式主语。
15. They have all got up early to catch the bus, and ______.
分值
           
A.Jack has so
B.so has Jack
C.Jack has either
D.also had Jack
您的答案是:
正确答案:B
解析:so放于句首,句子用倒装,表示“…也这样”。题目句意:他们都起早赶车,杰克也是。also表示“也…”,不用倒装,所以D错。C中either表示“也…”,用于否定意义。A中so放句末,不表示“也”,所以A错。
16. Last year, she earned ______ hell husband, who has a better position.
分值
           
A.three times as much as
B.three times more than
C.three times as many as
D.three times as more as

分值
           
A.increased
B.being increased
C.to increase
D.to have been inreased
您的答案是:
正确答案:A
解析:该题考查的是“have sth.done”即“have+名词+过去分词”的用法,意为:“使某事由他人来完成”。所以A项为正确选项。
18. Don't risk any of your money in the business______you are not afraid of losing it.
分值
           
A.after
B.before
C.unless
D.when
您的答案是:
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查连词用法。unless意为“如果不,除非”,引导条件状语从句,相当于if…not,在本题中为最佳句意,所以C项为正确答案。例如:I won’t go to bed unless mom comes back.(除非妈妈回来,否则我不上床睡觉。)
Section B
Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each bland with the proper form of the word given in the brackets.
19. Hardly he (finish) ______ his speech when the audience started sheering.
分值
您的答案是:
正确答案:had finished
20. The company chiefs have protested (angry) ______ that the other's stealing their staffs,
分值
您的答案是:

分值
您的答案是:
正确答案:Not having received
22. By the end of last week, he______ (finish) his composition.
分值
您的答案是:
正确答案:had finished
解析:过去完成时的用法。by在此表示“到……时(为止)”,与之连用的谓语动词常用完成时态。根据时间状语by the end of last week(到上周末为止),需用过去完成时,表示在过去之前已经发生或完成的动作。
23. Suddenly there appeared a young woman (dress) ______ in pink.
分值
您的答案是:
正确答案:dressed
24. The lists are given as (follow) ______.
分值
您的答案是:
正确答案:follows
解析:follows已成为固定成语,意为“(内容)如下”;不管主句谓语用何种时态,成语始终没有时态的变化。类似的成语还有as regards(关于),as concerns(关于)等。
25. Most students (take) ______ sixty credits by the time they graduate.
分值
您的答案是:
正确答案:will have taken
解析:本题考查将来完成时。by the time通常与完成时连用,由于学生现在还未毕业,所以要用将来完成时,要表示将来某一时刻之前业已完成的动作要用will/shall+have+过去分词。又如:We will have finished this book by the end of this week.(这周末之前我们要学完这本书。)
26. It is (reason) ______ for parents to pay for their children's education.
分值
您的答案是:
正确答案:reasonable
解析:本题考查的是形容词作表语。此句中It作形式主语,动词不定式复合结构作真正主语。空格处应为表语,所以需用形容词形式,因此正确答案是:reasonable。
27. Once the payment has been made, the goods should (deliver) ______ in one or two days.
分值
您的答案是:
正确答案:be delivered
解析:本题考查情态动词后的动词形式和语态。空格前的should是情态动词,其后的动词应保持原形,另外,该句主语与所提供的动词deliver应构成被动关系,两个因素结合可确定空格应为deliver的被动语态的原形be delivered。
28. The local government has decided to spend more money on the (equip) ______of the hospitals in the rural area.
分值
您的答案是:
正确答案:equipment
解析:本题考查固定搭配。spend...on something/(in)doing something,意为“花费(时间、金钱、精力等)在某事上/做某事”。因此本句中,空格处应该填equip的名词形式,故填equipment。

But if you want to read an ebook, you must have an Ebook Reader, which is a kind of free software used by your computer. Make sure you have installed the appropriate Reader before you download your ebook from the Internet. The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like. It also helps you turn pages and change your viewing options(计算机屏幕上的阅读选择). Ebooks are a fun alternative to regular books.

Some ebooks are even interactive! Best of all, when you order an ebook, there is no waiting and no shipping charges.

Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.  The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
  The often criticized child of the industrial age, advertising has grown as society has become more industrialized and, therefore, more commercialized. No modem industry or company can survive without advertising; it is the vital link between the producer and the customer. If advertising  were abolished(废止), as many people have suggested it should be, the public and the companies  that advertise would suffer a considerable loss.
  Most people think of television as an inexpensive source of entertainment. Television's primary purpose, however; is not to provide an entertainment service except in the case of government owned networks. It exists in order to promote products for companies. If the television industry did not receive income from advertising, watching television would be at least as expensive as going to the movies.
  Like television, many magazines and newspapers exist primarily to sell products. In some cases,  the stories, pictures, and editorials(社论) simply attract people to buy a particular product. Once a person begins to read, there is no escaping the advertising.
  Advertising not only pays for, or helps pay for, much of the mass media; it also provides the consumer with news from industry. This news functions first to influence the buyer to choose one product over another. It also informs people of new products that are important in their lives, for example, the development of salt-free butter for heart patients, or the development of tires(轮胎) that prevent skidding (打滑) on wet pavement (路而;人行道).
  Advertising does not usually increase the total number of products sold; however, it does help determine which company sells more of which products. Its main function is to relay(转播) news from the manufacturer to the consumer. Since this is a necessary service, advertising will remain a part of everyday fife and a part of every company's budget.
34. According to the first paragraph, what attitude do people take towards advertising?
分值
           
A.People think highly of advertising.
B.People criticize advertising.
C.Some people welcome advertising while others don't.
D.There are more criticisms of advertising than praises.
正确答案:C
解析:第一段第三句表明一些人建议废止广告,但如果这样一来,另一些做广告的公众和公司会遭受巨大损失。
35. Modem industry or companies cannot survive ______.
分值
             
A.if advertising continues to exist
B.if the link between the customers and manufacturers remains good
C.if "the criticized child" dies out
D.if society has become more industrialized
您的答案是:
正确答案:C
解析:第一段第一句表明criticized child指的就是广告。第一段第三句表明现代工业和公司离不开广告。
36. The main function of advertising is ______.
分值
             
A.to promote products for companies
B.to inform the public of new products
C.to influence buyers
D.All of the above.
您的答案是:
正确答案:D

37. Which of the following is NOT true about advertising?
分值
             
A.Advertising does not always increase sales.
B.Advertising serves to relay information from buyers to producers.
C.Advertising is and will continue to be a necessary part of everyday life.
D.It is suggested that advertising should be abolished.

    Dear Mr. William Foster:
    May I offer you a new type of fountain pen we have recently developed? This fountain pen is quite new in that a particular idea has been employed in its nib so that you can write with a different width of ink by simply adjusting it.
    The price is $ 480 a dozen and the minimum order is 200 dozen. You will be allowed a 5% discount for an order of 500 dozen or more. A sample is coming to you separately by air mail.
    Hope you'll examine the sample and give us your order soon.
                                                                    Yours truly,
                                                                    Wang Liang
