To Curb Spending?
The monthly expenditures of college students have been on the rise in the past few years. Some argue that if the students earn the money themselves, how they spend it is none of other people's business, and after all, the general living standard keeps rising. However, the fact is that most students live on the money their parents give them. The lure of a more comfortable and fashionable lifestyle－one with name brand clothing, mobile phones, MP3, and dining out or going to bars with a girlfriend－makes many to be frequent borrowers.
In my opinion, young students are sensitive to fashions and new trends, thus they easily found it impossible to make ends meet and run into debt. When a student's spending steps beyond the boundaries of daily necessities, it becomes a kind of waste. Furthermore, widespread extravagant spending on the campus could have a bad influence on people's values. But many students see it as a common practice and not a fault. Though everyone has the right to enjoy a comfortable life, campus is a place for study. So just think twice before you sign a bill.
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
1. Y 文章第二段指出"在人生的黄金时期有持续的空余时间事实上是一次独特的机会，可以让你专心从事志愿工作，或继续深造。"在后面的段落里作者分别举例说明失业可以给人带来其它方面的收获。因此可以得出结论，失业并不完全是件坏事。
2. N 标题Community Involvement第一段最后一句话中的obsess一词意思为"困扰"，可以看出Perez并不愿意从事家务劳动。另外根据该标题中第二段也可得出此结论。
3. N 根据文章标题Community Involvement中第三段的最后一句话"我决定不再自怨自艾，出去做些有意义的事情"，可以看出她也曾在失业期间十分失落。
4. NG 题目中指出Lisa Perez在得到新工作后后悔没有早点做义务工作，而这一点在文章中并没有提到。文章标题Community Involvemet的最后一段只提到Perez决定不管以后的工作多么繁忙，她也会抽出时间从事义务工作。
5. free 参见文章第一段第一、二句话。
6. powerful and well-connected 参见文章标题Community Involvement倒数第二段的第一句话。
7. survival 参见文章标题Continuing Education中第二段。

11. W: I heard Marilyn's going to college. What's she studying?
M: She's taking courses in statistics, economics and accounting.
Q: What career does Marilyn probably plan to follow?
12. W: This doesn't look at all familiar. We must be lost. We'd better get some directions.
M: Let's pull in here. While I'm filling the tank, you ask about the directions and get me a soft drink.
Q: Where will the man and woman go for assistance?
13. W: Excuse me! Could you please tell me how to get to the park?
M: There's a park around here?
Q: What does the man's response indicate?
14. W: It's nearly ten o'clock. Let's listen to the weather forecast.
M: Here's the weather forecast. Fog is spreading from the east and will affect all areas by midnight. It'll be heavy in places.
Q: What is the weather forecast?
15. M: This cake's delicious! Did you make it yourself?
W: You must be kidding! My sister got it from the bakery.
Q: What does the woman mean?
16. W: I'm worried about those classes I missed when I was sick.
M: I'll try to bring you up to date on what we've done.
Q: What does the man mean?
17. W: If I can get Brian to pay back the money I lent him last week, I could get that new tennis racket.
M: I hope you have better luck than I did.
Q: What does the man imply?
18. W: I'd like to exchange this dress for one－a size larger.
M: Yes, of course. Pick out another one. I'll put this one back.
Q: Why did the customer return the dress?
Conversation One
W: That comes to $160.
M: A hundred and sixty dollars! I just can't believe how expensive textbooks are. And that's just for required texts. Why, if I had to buy all the books on my suggested reading lists, I'd have to take out a bank loan!
W: You could save some money if you bought used texts, you know.
M: I suppose, but it's hard for me to study from a text that's been marked up. Tell me, if I don't need some of these books, can I get a full refund?
W: Sure, if the professor changes his mind about a book or if you drop a course, just return it and we'll give you your money back－but only for the first three weeks of class. So don't write your name in the textbook or mark it up until you're sure you're going to keep it all semester.
M: And what about at the end of the semester? What's your buy-back policy?
W: As long as the books are in reasonably good condition, and they're going to be used in class the next semester, we'll give you 50 percent of their original value－even if you didn't buy them at this store. Of course, if a professor changes texts or if a new edition comes out, we won't buy them back at all.
M: Fifty percent－that's all?
W: Well. I suppose that doesn't sound like much, but that's the store policy.
19. What is the man buying?
20. If the man sells all the books that he buys today back to the store at the end of the semester, how much money will he receive?
21. Why would the bookstore NOT buy back the man's books at any price?
Conversation Two
W: Good morning, Peter.
M: Good morning, Julia.
W: Do come in. You've brought the results with you, I see.
M: Yes, in fact, I completed the survey last week.
W: So, I can hear the criticisms now, then?
M: That's right. And perhaps you'll be able to tell me what can be done about them.
W: I'll certainly do my best. Well, what would you like to start with?
M: The catalogues. I'm afraid many of the science students complain that they're incomplete and out of date. They think they're really bad. Is there anything you can do to improve things there?
W: Oh, yes. We can check all the cards and reprint them where necessary...or we can change to a computer system.
M: How much would it cost to do the first?
W: About six thousand pounds.
M: And how long would it take?
W: Oh, maybe three months.
M: And how much would it cost to do the second?
W: Change to a computer system? Yes, oh, about sixty thousand pounds.
M: And how long would that take?
W: Er, nine months, I'd say. About nine months.
M: Thank you. Now...next I'd like to move on to the Borrowing facilities. The social science students described these as rather disappointing. They complained that they were only allowed to borrow three books. Most of them felt they ought to be able to borrow more books, perhaps five or six for undergraduates and up to ten for graduates.
W: That may be possible.
M: Also, they'd like to be able to keep the books for a longer period, say three weeks instead of the present two.
W: That also sounds reasonable. I'll see what I can do.
22. When did the man finish his survey?
23. What do students NOT complain about the library catalogues?
24. What does the woman say about the first possibility of the library work?
25. How many books are requested by graduates to borrow?

Passage One
Welcome to Yellow Stone National Park. Before we begin our nature walk today, I'd like to give you a short history of our national park service. The national park service began in the late 1800s. A small group of explorers had just completed a month long exploration of the region that is now Yellow Stone. They gathered around the campfire and after hours of discussion, they decided that they should not claim this land for themselves. They felt it should be accessible to everyone. So they began a campaign to preserve this land for everyone's enjoyment. Two years later, in the late 19 century, an act of congress signed by President Ulysses S. Grant, proclaimed the Yellow Stone region a public park. It was the first national park in the world. After Yellow Stone became a public park, many other areas of great scenic importance were set aside. And in 1916 the national park service was established to manage these parks. As a park ranger, I am an employee of the national park service. In the national park, park rangers are on duty at all the times to answer questions and help visitors in any difficulty. Nature walks, guided tours and campfire talks are offered by specially trained staff members. The park service also protect the animals and plants within the parks.
26. According to the speaker, who originated the idea of the public park?
27. What does the speaker say about Yellow Stone National Park?
28. According to the speaker, what is one of the duties of a park ranger?
Passage Two
Is your family interested in buying a dog? A dog can be a happy addition to your family, but if you choose the wrong kind of dog, the consequences can cause you a lot of trouble.Families should sit down and thoroughly discuss the problems involved before buying a dog. Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog, the parents are the ones who are really responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared for. If you don't know much about dogs, it's a good idea to go to the library or the ASPCA for books about various kinds of dogs, as well as books about how to train a puppy. In reading about the different breeds, you should know that a dog described as very alert may be too jumpy and bouncy. When a book describes a dog as an ideal hunting dog, it probably means that the dog won't be happy living in a small apartment. Dog breeds vary in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd, this is because it provides protection as well as companionship. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children to handle. If space is limited, they need to be walked daily, since they cannot exercise in the space available at home.
29. How can one get information about the different kinds of dogs?
30. Why is the German shepherd a popular dog?
31. What are the advantages of choosing a toy dog?
Passage Three
Scientists have observed that plants themselves produce many poisonous chemicals for defense against insects. But insects have developed ways of dealing with them and, in fact, have been eating plants for about 250 million years. Now insects are using these same mechanisms to deal with man-made poisons-insecticides. This is why resistance of insects to insecticides has developed so rapidly. What should be done? Scientists studying the problem suggest that farmers use less insecticides. At the moment, farmers regularly spray crops as a precaution against problems that are caused by large numbers of pests. They should, instead, spray only where pests have actually been seen. Secondly, farmers could use a combination of two or three insecticides at once. To survive, the insects would need to become resistant to two or more poisons at the same time. The most surprising suggestion, perhaps, is that, at certain times of the year, farmers should actually try to attract new insects onto the crops they are trying to protect. The new insects will mate with those which survived from a certain kind of insecticide and will lessen the latter's resistance to it.
Scientists hope that these and other measures will postpone the day when farmers and scientists will have to stand by while new super bugs which may be resistant to all our poisons invade our farms and devour our crops.
32. What alarming conclusion can be drawn from the scientists'observation?
33. Which of the following is NOT included in the scientists'suggestions?
34. What can be inferred from the passage?
35. What do you think is the best title for the passage?
Section C
Imagine this: you wake up each morning to find your sister lying beside you. To get dressed and tie your (36) shoes, you use one hand and she uses another, you do everything else together too, even sitting on the same chair at lunch and (37) riding on the same bicycle. That's what life is like for six-year-old Betty and Abey. Like most (38) twins, the two girls look very much alike. But unlike most twins, Betty and Abey (39) share parts of the same body. Twins like Betty and Abey are (40) rare, only about 40 sets are born in the United States each year. Few (41) survive as long as Betty and Abey. That is because twins often share vital organs like a heart or (42) brain. These shared organs are often badly shaped, and may not be strong enough to support both twins. But Betty and Abey each had her own head, heart and stomach which (43) function normally. The girls share 3 or 4 lungs which provide plenty of oxygen for both twins. (44) Most their completely shared organs lie below the waist. Betty and Abey live relatively normal lives, they attend a regular school and each does her own school work. They prefer to do some projects together, though. (45) For example, to cut out paper dolls, one twin holds the paper while the other uses the scissors. But sometimes the girls don't want to do the same thing. (46) For example, sometimes they want to play with different toys. What do they do then? "We cast a coin." Says Abey.

Section B
Passage One
52. D 文章主旨题。这一题涉及到整篇文章的大体内容，A，B，C三个选项的内容在文中都有涉及，但是文章的主旨并不在于单单说明这几点。我们从后面的文章中可以看到，DNA指纹的发现既有它的好处也有它的坏处，因此，答案是D。
53. B 词义辨析题。我们在文章的第一段第一句可以找到"stumbled upon"。但是这里并没有说清楚这个词的含义，只能确定Alec Jeffrey发现了这一方法。文章的第三段第一句接着说明了他是如何发现这一点的。由此可见，他们是无意中发现这一点的，所以答案是B。
54. C 细节题。这一题的问题是关于DNA指纹的优点的。文章第二段谈到了这一点，A选项是不正确的，因为双胞胎的DNA指纹是相同的。B，D两个选项只是DNA指纹的一种运用方式，只有C选项完整地表述了DNA指纹的优点，所以答案是C。
55. B 细节题。这一题的问题是关于英国DNA数据库的目的。我们在文章的第四段可以找到与"British DNA database"相关的内容，"In Britain, a national criminal database"。由此可见，这个数据库的目的就是帮助调查犯罪，所以答案是B。
56. B 细节题。这一题的问题涉及一个句子的意思。我们从第五段第三句中可以看出，Jeffrey认为有相同DNA指纹的人出现的几率在十亿分之一百亿分之一之间。也就是说，尽管几率很小，还是有相同的可能性，这才是作者为什么说DNA指纹不总是完全准确的原因，所以答案是B。
Passage Two
57. C 细节题。这一题的重点在"crisis in welfare states"。文章的第一段就谈到了福利社会的危机问题，建立福利社会时的经济状况比现在要好很多，这是现在的福利社会出现问题的主要原因，所以这一题的答案是C。人口在不断增加，享受福利制度的人也在增加；同时，这些国家的经济状况还没有走到崩溃的地步；福利社会也没有过时，只是需要一些改进。
58. D 辨别题。这一题的重点在"the financing of the welfare society"上。文章第一段第四句就谈到了这一点，"The financing of the welfare state has thus become a problem"。由此可见，问题的原因在上文，即第一段的第三句。通过对四个选项的分析，我们可以看出，只有D选项符合原文的意思，所以答案是D。
59. B 细节题。文章第一段倒数第二句说道，"This does not mean that changes are being contemplated in the concept of the welfare state"。由此可见，问题不是要否定福利社会体系，而是作出一些调整。只有B选项是符合原文意思的，所以答案是B。
60. C 细节题。这一题的重点在"the supplementary welfare system"上。通过对四个选项的分析，我们可以看出，这一题的问题是"the supplementary welfare system"的特点。这一点在文章第二段第三句中谈到了，"through the free collective agreements between employers and employees"。由此可见，C选项才是正确的答案。
61. A 辨别题。通过对四个选项的分析，我们可以看出，这一题的重点在于"the supplementary welfare system"之下，每个人拥有什么样的权利。从上一题中，我们知道，"the supplementary welfare system"是一种雇主与雇员之间的协议，只有A选项不是在这个范围以内，受教育的权利在工作之前就有保障，所以答案是A。
Part Ⅴ Error Correction
62. with→for 本题考查介词搭配用法。responsibility与for搭配。
63. informations→information 本题考查名词的单复数用法。information为不可数名词，没有复数形式。
64. who后面加is 本题考查定语从句中谓语的主被动结构。本题句意为：理想的学生应该内心受到激励，为获得学习本身的乐趣而学习。可见本句应用被动结构。
65. writing→written 本题考查非谓语成分的用法。writing意为"用来书写的"，written意为"书面的"。written comments意为"书面评论"。
66. make改为take 本题考查短语的搭配。take the initiative为固定搭配，意为"主动...，首先..."。
67. particular→particularly 本题考查形容词和副词辨析。本题题意为：...尤其是研究生。根据题意，所需为状语，所以用副词形式。
68. except→besides/apart from 本题考查同义短语辨析。本题题意为：...除教学之外还有其他的职责。except意为"除...之外（都是...或都不是...）"，表示的逻辑为排斥关系。而besides/apart from意为"除...之外（还...）"，表示的逻辑关系为递进。
69. But→Thus/Therefore/Hence/So 本题考查同义词用法辨析。But为连词，置于分句中间用来连接并列分句。而Thus/Therefore/Hence/So为副词，可以置于句首。
70. indicates→indicate 本题考查主谓一致。本句谓语动词的数应与educational practices而非student participation保持一致。
71. which去掉或在前面加in 本题考查定语从句用法。引导本句定语从句的先行词在从句中充当状语成分，而which在定语从句中不能作状语。
