Passage Two
【听力原文】 How many of you drink cola? Nearly everybody does. Did you know that ［29①］ cola started out not as a soft drink ［30］ but as a cure for headache back in the late 1800s? ［31］ John S. Pamberton, a druggist from Atlanta, had experimented for many months trying to find a cure for the common headache. He worked in his backyard, mixing and heating different combinations of oils and flavors until he found one that seemed promising. Pamberton bottled the mixture and began selling it in drugstores as a concentrated syrup that the customer had to mix with water before drinking. ［29②］ Cola?s transformation from a concentrated syrup to a carbonated soft drink came about quite by accident. One day a customer came into a drugstore complaining of a headache and asked for a bottle of cola syrup. He wanted to take it right away. So he asked the clerk to mix the medicine while he waited. The clerk, instead of walking to the other end of the counter to get plain water, suggested mixing the syrup with soda water. The customer agreed, and after drinking it, remarked how good it tasted. The clerk continued offering the mixture and ［29③］ carbonated cola grew in popularity. Today carbonated colas are sold in

Section C
【听力原文】 There are two types of people in the world. Although they have (36) equal degrees of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes (37) miserable. This arises from the different ways in which they (38) consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the (39) conveniences of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the (40) contrary things. Therefore, they are (41) continually discontented. By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society, (42) offend many people, and make themselves (43) disagreeable everywhere. If this mind set was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. (44) The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, (45) but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, (46) it has serious consequences in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.【答案解析】
36．空前的动词have及空后的名词degrees提示所填词可能为形容词或名词。equal意为“相等的，均等的”。
37．空前的动词becomes提示所填词应为形容词，在句中作表语。根据本句开头的连词although推测，所填词可能在语义上与happy相反。miserable意为“可怜的，悲惨的”。 38．分析定语从句句子结构可知，该从句缺少谓语动词，再根据空前的代词they和上下文时态可知所填词应为动词原形。consider意为“看待，考虑”。 39．空前的定冠词the和空后的介词of提示所填词应为名词。本句是关于happy一类的人如何看待事物，根据常理可知，他们关注的是事物的积极方面，故所填词应该是表达积极含义。conveniences意为“便利，方便”。
40．空前的定冠词the和空后的名词things提示所填词应为形容词。把本句与上句进行比较可发现，此处是将不高兴的人和高兴的人看待事物的角度作了对比，两种人看待事物的态度应该是相反的，所关注的事物也应该是相反的，故所填词可能是要表示“相反的”这一含义。contrary意为“相反的”。 41．分析句子结构可知，句子不缺少主要成分，再根据空前的系动词are和形容词discontented可知所填词应为副词。continually意为“不断地，频繁地”。
42．空前的逗号和空后的并列连词and提示所填词应为动词，与sour构成并列结构。offend意为“冒犯，得罪”。
43．空前的动词make和反身代词themselves提示所填词可能为形容词，在句中作宾语补足语。disagreeable意为“不愉快的，厌恶的”。 44．【Main Points】 The tendency to complain and be disgusted perhaps begins by imitation 45．【Main Points】 but it may be cured when people who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes 46．【Main Points】 it has serious effects on life because it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck Part IVSection A 【文章大意】 本文主要介绍了在找工作的过程中充分表现自己的方法。在找工作的过程中，你要真诚地面对自己过去的表现，最好通过与朋友的讨论对要做的事情有一个客观的态度。并且，你要善于使自己成为别人关注的焦点。总之一句话，你应该做好充分准备。【词性归类】

名词：［B］ approval（赞成，正式批准）；［H］ content（内容，满足）；［J］ acquaintances（相知，熟人）；［K］ preferences（偏爱）；［O］ appraisal（评价） 动词：［E］ advertise（引起对…的注意）；［F］ obtain（获得，得到）；［G］ achieve（完成，达到）；［H］ content（使…满足）；［L］ prove（证明）；［M］ assure（向…担保，保证） 形容词：［C］ essential（必须的，必不可少的）；［D］ flexible（可适应的，灵活的）；［H］ content（愿意的，满足的）；［I］ excellent（卓越的，极好的） 副词：［A］ fortunately（幸运地）；［N］ simultaneously（同时地）47．【解析】选［O］。空前的不定冠词和空后的介词提示所填词应为以元音音素开头的名词，故可将答案限定在［B］ approval和［O］ appraisal中。分析前后句意可知，该句中的An 47 of this sort指的是前一句所说的to appraise past performance honestly and to…（评价自己过去的表现，并对自己的优缺点有一个清楚的认识）。所以所填词应能与appraise构成语义场共现的关系，故答案为［O］ appraisal（评价）。 48．【解析】选［F］。空前的不定式符号to和空后的名词提示所填词应为及物动词原形。分析句意可知，不定式短语to 48 a fresh…在句中充当目的状语，表明…be discussed with a friend的目的。很明显，同朋友讨论自己过去的表现…，能够使自己对要做的事情有一个全新的、客观的认识，备选项中的动词原形用在句中能表达这一含义的为［F］ obtain（获得，得到）。［G］achieve虽然也表示“得到，获取”，但它通常是指成就目标，幸福的取得，不符合本句语境。 49．【解析】选［E］。空前的不定式符号和空后的反身代词提示所填词应为及物动词原形。下句是为解释本句话而进行的举例。因此，只要明确了该例子所要表达的含义就能确定本题的答案。该例子表明这个年轻人通过把自己的担心转移给银行，而caught the bank?s attention（引起了银行的注意），所以所填词所在的句子应该是要表达“使自己引起别人的注意十分重要”，备选项中的词用在句中能表达此意义的为［E］ advertise（引起对…的注意）。 50．【解析】选［A］。分析句子结构可知，句子主干成分完整，不缺少主要成分，故所填词应为副词，所以可将答案限定在［A］ fortunately和［N］ simultaneously中。而［N］ simultaneously（同时地）通常用来表达几种动作在同一时刻发生，明显不符合本句语境，故可排除。答案为［A］ fortunately（幸运地）。 51．【解析】选［H］。空前的系动词和空后的不定式符号提示所填词可能为形容词或动词的分词形式。备选项中没有动词的分词形式，所以所填词只能为形容词。将备选项中的形容词依次带入原文中可知，最符合本句句意的为［H］ content（愿意的，满足的）。 52．【解析】选［J］。空前的名词提示所填词应为名词。并列连词or提示business 52 应为表示“人”的名词，与their friends并列。备选项中的名词符合这一要求的只有［J］ acquaintances（熟人）。 53．【解析】选［C］。空前的系动词提示所填词应为形容词或动词的分词形式。备选项中没有动词的分词形式，所以所填词只能为形容词。联系上下文可知，An orderly, planned approach是面试时应掌握的方法或技巧之一，而第二段第一句中的to 49 yourself同样是面试应掌握的方法或技巧，所以本句的所填词应与第二段第一句中的important构成同义复现关系，备选项中的形容词符合这一要求的只有［C］ essential（必须的，必不可少的）。 54．【解析】选［L］。空前的情态动词和空后的从句提示所填词应是及物动词原形。备选项中的动词原形在语义上最符合句意的为［L］ prove（证明）。［M］ assure（担保，保证）着重强调“向他人保证”之意，而在本句中则是表达you对自己能够做好一件事有信心，并不含有向他人保证之意，故可排除［M］ assure。 55．【解析】选［D］。该句中的No matter how…是针对 you have prepared yourself to look for a job（包括have decided…, believe and can…, know where you are willing to live…）而言的。

根据主句的句意可知，no matter how引导的让步状语从句应表达you的优点，这样才能与主句构成合理的让步关系。备选项中的形容词在语义上符合本句句意的有［D］ flexible和［I］ excellent。但上文所述的各个方面中既有个人的能力，如believe and can…you can do it well，又涉及到其他一些方面，如where you are willing to live…等。［I］ excellent（卓越的，极好的）无法涵盖上文提到的所有方面，故可排除。答案为［D］ flexible，它既可以表示能力卓越，又可以表示在某些方面具有灵活性。 56．【解析】选［K］。空前的形容词和空后的介词提示所填词应为名词。将备选项中的名词依次带入原文中，最符合句意的是［K］preferences(偏爱)。
【文章译文】 找工作过程中决定你获得高分的方法之一是诚实地评价以往的工作表现，并且将你的资产和负债在资产负债表中写明。与朋友讨论这种评价可能会使你从中受益，获得一个新颖、客观的观点，从而明白你该做出何种努力。其次，在找工作过程中，宣传自己很重要。一个年轻人——很幸运，他是个有钱人——将自己的忧虑转到了他存钱的那家银行那里。他告诉银行迟早会有什么事发生，从而引起了银行的注意。的确，这个人是个特例。但许多其他人则愿意去拜访朋友或商业伙伴，说他们只是来“看看”，不引起朋友的注意，同时还希望事情有结果。找工作是最艰难的工作，但也可以是最有趣的工作。有条理、有计划的方法是必不可少的。让我们假设一下，你已经决定要做什么了，相信并且可以证明自己可以做得好，知道自己想住在哪儿，并且了解自身价值。简而言之，你已经做好准备找工作了。不管你有多灵活，总有一些公司可以让你发挥作用，而在更多的公司你没有用武之地。起初，除了你个人的偏好，如地点、交通、薪水等因素，行业类别和公司规模也起到了限制作用。Section B Passage One
【文章大意】 本文向我们讲述了一名理想中的绅士会如何为人处世。第一段首先向我们介绍了真正的绅士在面对各种问题时会采取的行为方法；第二段主要讲了绅士的一些性格特点。 57．【解析】选［B］。推理判断题。文章第一段第三句指出a gentleman只会关注如何消除可能会妨碍身边人自由行动的障碍，他通常会concurs with their movements（与他们的行为保持一致）而不是takes the initiative himself（自己带头做某事）。由此可推知，在某一行动被发起时，绅士不会takes the initiative,也就是说他不会成为行动的initiator，故答案为［B］。 58．【解析】选［C］。事实细节题。文章第一段第五句指出gentleman在同别人谈话时，会has his eyes on all his company，也就是说gentleman并不会把自己的注意力集中在某个人身上而忽略其他人，［C］表述的正是此意，故为答案。 59．【解析】选［B］。事实细节题。文章第二段第二句中的he submits to pain because it is inevitable表明，a gentleman忍受pain的原因即是：pain is inevitable（痛苦是不可避免的）。［B］为pain is inevitable的同义表达，故为答案。 60．【解析】选［D］。事实细节题。文章第二段第三句指出a gentleman可能会right or wrong in his opinion，由此可知，a gentleman的想法有时不一定perfectly right，故答案为［D］。第一段第四句指出a gentleman总是会避免all clashing of opinion，collision of feeling，all restraint等，但并没有说a gentleman很少speaks out his own opinion，故［A］错；［B］在文中没有提及；第二段倒数第二句指出gentleman经常会从对手的角度思考，accounts for their mistakes（为他们的错误找出原因），［C］表述与其相反，故也可排除。 61．【解析】选［D］。主旨大意题。文章第一段首先向我们介绍了绅士在面对各种问题时所采取的行为方法；第二段主要讲了绅士的一些性格特点。这些要做起来都并非易事，文章只是讲述an idealized gentleman会做的事情以及他的性格特点，故答案为［D］。
【文章译文】 从不伤害别人几乎成了绅士的定义。这种描述很精妙，而且就目前来说，也
