Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure (10 minutes, 15 marks)
31.B 句意：由于Edgar坚信此事确凿无疑，他坚持己见。stick to坚持，忠于。 32.B 句意：任何一个有点常识的学生都应该能回答这个问题。any的意义相当于all，
表示“不定的，任意一个”，其实暗示整体性概念。
33.B 句意：显然，主席在会上的讲话是即时的，未经过准备。spontaneous（自发
的，自然
产生的）强调没有做准备的，与后面的not planned相呼应。
34.C be they liquid or solid是一种特殊的让步状语从句形式，相当于whether they
are liquid or solid，也可以写作whether they be liquid or solid。whether还可以省略，省略后，be要置于句首。故C项为正确答案。
35.D 句意：这个女孩以前是商店售货员，现在成了一家大百货商店的经理。formerly
从前，以前。preliminarily初步地。presumably可能，据推测。formally正式地。
36.D 句意：贷款承诺书是一种书面文件，表明贷方同意以一定的利息和一定的借款期
限向借方借出一笔钱，该承诺还会附有一些条件并指明还款期限。commitment约束，保证。obligation通常用于特定原因引起的具体限制。duty尤指出于道德或伦理的考虑而受到的限制。responsibility强调对履行义务负有责任。 37.D 句意：步行了这么长时间，我已经精疲力竭一步也走不动了。be worn out精疲
力竭。过去分词短语作状语，be可以省略。
38.C 本句的时间状语为过去的某个时间点以前，所以要用过去完成时态。
39.A 句意：政府报告、考试作文、法律文件和大多数商贸信函都使用正式语言。该题
考查介词+关系代词引导的限制性定语从句。从该句结构看。句中需要填入一个介词与关系代词（指代先行词situations），而且要求介词与situations构成固定表达并使该句在语义和语法结构上都符合要求。因此A项为正确答案。 40.C 句意：他花了几个小时刮掉了四面墙上的纸。scrape sth. off…把某物从…表面刮
掉或擦掉。shear剪，修剪。strike打，击，攻击。chip削成碎片，碎裂。 41.B 句意：如果我当时知道你很忙，我就不会用这些问题来打扰你了。该题考查虚拟
语气中省略if的用法。在描述与过去事实相反的非真实条件句中，条件从句的谓语动词通常用had+过去分词，if省略后谓语动词要放在句首，因此B项为正确答案。

42.A 句意：毋庸置疑，这个国家资源丰富。few和little作形容词时，few修饰可数名
词，little修饰不可数名词。little还可作副词，表示“稍许”。本题需要填的是副词，故应用little；当否定意义的词或词组置于句首时，主谓需要倒装。故A项为正确答案。
43.C 句意：尽管Fred只有十几岁，他却拒绝接受别人指使他该做什么和不该做什
么。resist后面只能跟动名词，所以A项和D项可以排除。having been told表示已经被告知，而being told泛指一般的被告知。
44.C 对话中提到Volvo车的噪音很大，需要修理。因此修车人说“明天带过来看看，行么？”
45.A 句意要表达的是“我算不出来”，work out计算出。 Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (20 minutes, 35 marks) Section A (5 marks)
46.B 文章第一句话指出：“马克吐温指出，如果工作是一件快乐的事情，那么有钱人
就会把它占为己有。”事实上，有钱人并不喜欢工作，说明工作不是件快乐的事情。
47.D 文章第二句话提到人们对工作有深切的心理需求，后文给出原因：Everyone
wants to be valued, and wages and salaries are the visible proof that we matter.所以，D项正确。 48.C 文章第三段指出：我们不必特意去享受工作，因为The fact that we have to
overcome some difficulties that we have to deal with doing routine tasks, in some way gives us pleasure“我们在战胜困难的同时，就已经获得满足，得到
快乐”。
49.C 本题可采用排除法。文中提到Without work many people find they are unable
to enjoy the leisure time.由此可知，A项错误。文中还指出： For most of their lives their personality, self-image and status have been defined by work; without it they lose their appetite for life. 即“没有工作，他们失去了生活的乐趣，也失去了自我和地位”，故B项，D项错误。文中提到：People who suddenly lose their jobs can find the situation particularly difficult刚失去工作的人发现生活很困难，这就说明他们很难适应所发生的变化，故C项正确。 50.D 文中最后一段描述了信息技术出现后，人们对工作观念的一系列改变。从For
many, the idea of a job for life is no longer realistic.很多人对工作的态度不再是很现实的，可以看出人们的态度变化。故D项正确。
