Part Ⅰ Vocabulary and Structure
Directions:
   In this part there are ten incomplete sentences, each with four suggested answers. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.
1.

A upon
B to
C that
D what
该题您未回答:х    该问题分值: 2
答案:C
[注释] 空白后的we like是前面不定代词something的宾语，只能用that引导。
2. 
The name of **es from the Greek word tele and the Latin word videre, ______ "far" and "to see", respectively.
A meaning
B meant
C are meant
D have the meaning of
该题您未回答:х    该问题分值: 2
答案:A
[注释] 由于空白后的成分没有相应的连接词，不能与前句形成主从句关系，注定其只能是短语，不能为从句，故B．meant，C．are meant，D．have the meaning of都不可选。选 A．meaning构成分词短语，修饰说明前面的tele and the Latin word videre。
3. 
There was no tickets ______ for Friday’s performance.
A preferable
B considerable
C possible
D available
passages是什么意思该题您未回答:х    该问题分值: 2
答案:D
[注释] 此题需要进行词义辨析。本句意思是“星期五表演的票没有了。”D．available意思是“可以得到的”，作tickets后置定语，符合要求。其他三项分别表示“更可取的”，“能考虑的”及“可能的”，不符合语义及用法。
4. 
The suspect ______ that he had assaulted a woman.
A refused
B rejected
C declined
D denied
该题您未回答:х    该问题分值: 2
答案:D
[注释] 此题属于词义辨析题。四选项意思分别为“拒绝”，“拒收”，“谢绝”和“否认”。本句大意是“嫌疑犯否认侵犯妇女的事实”，故deny正确。
5.

C what
D where
该题您未回答:х    该问题分值: 2

[注释] 本题需要注意一些常用过渡性副词的用法。A．nonetheless表示转折； B．otherwise

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Directions:
   In this part there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.
Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one's muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.
   You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar
without moving their body or mom specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.
   Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.
   The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.
1. 
Some psychologists maintain that thinking is ______.
A not a mental process
B more of a physical process than a mental action
C a process that involves our entire bodies
D a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain
该题您未回答:х    该问题分值: 2
答案:D
[注释] 本题考点在文章第一句中的mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone，but that one's muscles also participate.原文中的 alone， 相当于考题里的as well as，所以考生对意思相似相近的表达要清楚。
2. 
Few people are able to listen to familiar music without ______.
A moving some part of their body
B stopping what they are doing to listen
C directing the orchestra playing it
D wishing that they could conduct music properly
该题您未回答:х    该问题分值: 2
答案:A
[注释] 本题的依据句是第二段中的第二个句子Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically，some part of their body.
