Passage 1
Language is always changing. In a society where life continues year after year
with few changes, the languages do not change either. The earliest known languages had difficult grammar but a small, limited vocabulary. Over the century, the grammar changed, and the vocabulary grew. For example, the English and Spanish people who came to America during the sixteenth century gave names to all the new plants and animals they found. In this way, hundreds of new words were introduced into English and Spanish vocabularies. Today life is changing very fast, and language is changing fast too.
There are several major language families in the world. Some scientists say there are nine main families, but other scientists divided them differently. The languages in each family are connected, and scientists think that they came from the same parent language. About 3% of the people in the world speak languages that are not in these major families.

A. T B. F
7. In the next few hundred years we can expect language to change a great deal.

A. T B. F
Passage 2
When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People
who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples—people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.
11. Which of the following has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses?
A. Selling home furnishings.
B. Renting furnished apartments.
C. Selling used furniture.
D. Renting home furnishings.
12. Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?
A. Because the furniture they get in this way is new.
B. Because it saves them a lot of money.
C. Because it saves them much trouble and money.
D. Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.
13. What can you infer from the passage?
A. The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.
B. Renting furniture is not popular in the couple’s home town.
C. Only those who don’t have enough money to rent furniture.
D. People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.
14. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Rent or Buy? B. A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings.
C. Furnished Apartments. D. A New Idea.
15. Young people liked renting home furniture in that
A. They have less money.
B. They don’t want to buy old furniture.
C. The new furniture is of good quality.
D. They don’t have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furniture. 第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

It is always interesting to visit another country, especially for those who have never traveled a great deal. Foreign travel can be very educational for anyone if he is interested enough to make preparations beforehand. Learning the language of the new country would be difficult for the traveler, the benefits of such an effort would become obvious immediately his arrival. It may not seem important
to him when he comfortably stays at home, but knowing how to order a meal or book a room is necessary for the newcomer in a strange country. Without knowing the language, it is very difficult the stranger to understand the people of the new country and their customs.
Of course，in our small world it is often possible to find someone who understands our own, but this is only second–best for the traveler. To be sure, he can see places and things the use of a language, but places and things are not the heart of any country. To get the greatest benefit from a trip another country, it is how important for the visitor to have an understanding of the language.
21. A. to B. on C. without D. but E. for
22. A. to B. on C. without D. but E. for

Sometimes I’ll go to the gym to do some sports, which makes me stronger and healthier. Also sometimes I go traveling. Travel can broaden my horizon to have experience of different cultures and to meet different people, which is very interesting to me.
解题与分析
一、交际用语
1. 回答―Do you mind…?‖这种问句时，本句中的Yes表示介意，No表示不介意。A项 ―Yes, please.‖前后矛盾，please意为“请关窗户”； C项的错误同A项类似；D项不符合题意；B项意为“不介意，请随意”，所以选择B。
2. 前者说“我去了海滩，得到了充分的休息。”A项意为“我希望如此”；B项意为“真的吗？”；D项意为“声音很棒”。根据后者的回答，应该用I’m glad you did表示赞同，所以选择C。
3. 服务员在问“您想要甜点吗？” B项和C项均不符合题意。和A项比较而言，D项为最佳答案，该项说出了想要点的东西，所以选择D。
4. 对别人的善意告诫，要表示谢意。A项意为“一点也不”；B项意为“当然。别客气”；C项意为“我一会儿回来”；D项是“谢谢，我会小心的。”所以选择D。
5. 前者说“不要发出噪音。”后者表示“会像老鼠一样安静”，即不会发出噪音，所以选择D。
二、阅读理解
6. 根据第一段的第三句话可知，早期的语言语法难、词汇量小。该陈述判断错
误，所以选择B。
7. 第一段的最后一句话告诉我们，语言随着生活的巨变而巨变。该陈述判断正确，所以选择A。
8. 文章表明语言是随着社会的发展而变化的。该陈述判断正确，所以选择A。
9. 从全文可知，若社会停滞不前，语言就很难发生变化，所以语言的变化既可以很缓慢也可以很迅速。该陈述判断错误，所以选择B。
10. 在16世纪第一批英国人和西班牙人来到美洲，距今400－500年。该陈述判断正确，所以选择A。
11. 文章提到 ―The renting of home furnishings (beds，tables，dishes，and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses‖。但实质上是对文章中心的理解能力。文章的中心讲的就是租家具这一社会现象：包括何种人愿意租、其原因是什么以及人们对这一现象的认识。所以选择D。
12. B项只回答了问题的一部分，因此B项是错误的。D项过于笼统，文章提到 ―they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy‖。 A项在文章中并未提到。所以选择C。
13. 从文章的第一部分可知，这对夫妇此前还没有想过租家具，可见在他们的家乡，这种做法还不流行。文章的最后(The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new，and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.)讲了这种观念还很新，但并没有说这种观念不被人接受，因此A项是错误的。C项过于片面，除了没有多少钱的人想租家具，还有其他人，如做国际业务的人、驻外的政府官员、外国留学生、飞机工作人员等也都租家具。D项在文中未提到。所以选择B。
14. B项(一种获取家具的新途径)既概括了主题，又有吸引力。而D项(一种新观念)过于笼统，不合适。有些考生选择A，是因为他们没有真正弄懂中心，实际上文章的重点在于租家具这一观念，而不是买不买家具的问题。所以选择B。
15. 从文中第二段可以看出，年轻人喜欢租家具是因为他们没有太多的钱而且也不想买便宜的家具。所以选择D。
三、词汇与结构
16. It may be + 一段时间 + before …的意思是―过??才??‖，本句的意思是“科学家说或许要五年或者十年后才可能在人体上测试该药。”所以选择B。
17. 这句话意思是：在独立战争之前，美国是英国的殖民地。其它选项不符合题意，所以选择A。
18. 考查时态。这句话意思是：当 Lily 昨天下午五点回家时，妈妈正在厨房里做晚饭。这是过去进行时。所以选择B。
19. hardly … when … 意为“一??就??”，hardly放在句首，句子要部分倒装。原句意为“他一上台观众就开始欢呼。”所以选择C。
20. 考查现在完成时态。“约翰的父亲自从哈佛大学毕业后就一直在这所学校教书。”这种状态从过去一直持续到现在，句子要用现在完成时，所以选择C。
四、完形填空
21. 考查句子之间的逻辑关系。这个并列句只有用转折连接词but连接才符合句意，即“对游客来说学习他国的语言将是很困难的；但是，他为学好这门语言所付出的努力在他一踏上这个国土就能体会到了”。所以选择D。
22. 考查词组。on one’s arrival意为“到达（某地）就??”。所以选择B。
23. 考查句型。It is + adj. for sb. to do sth.的意思是“对某人来说做某事??”。所以选择E。
24. 考查介词用法。without the use of意为“无需使用??”。所以选择C。
25. 考查词组。a trip to+地点“到某地去旅行”。所以选择A。
