（1）.Thispassagedealswith.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00）

A.theGreatLondonFire

B.thelostdocumentsofShakespeare

C.scholarsofShakespeare

D.Shakespeare*spersonalhistoryJ

解析：短文的第二段和第三段的第一句點(diǎn)明了主題：這篇文章涉及的是莎士比亞的個人經(jīng)歷。隨后的段落

從謠傳和教育等幾個方面估計(jì)他的個人經(jīng)歷會是怎樣的。選項(xiàng)D是正確的。選項(xiàng)A和B提及的倫敦大火及

丟失的文件只是莎士比亞身世之謎的一個原因，并不是通篇的主題。選項(xiàng)C提及的莎士比亞學(xué)者應(yīng)該是希

望弄清楚莎士比亞身世的人，而不是本文的主題。

（2）.PartsofShakespeare*slifecontinuetoremainamysterybecause.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00）

A.peoplearenotinterested

B.researchersdonothavetheexpertisetofindthefacts

C.writershadnoclaimovertheirworks

D.theGreatLondonFireburnedimportantdocumentsJ

解析：最后一段。第一句就點(diǎn)明莎士比亞的部分身世恐怕將永遠(yuǎn)成為一個謎。隨后的句子是說明原因：倫

敦的大火燒毀了重要文件。選項(xiàng)D是對的。選項(xiàng)A與文章提及的事實(shí)相反。人們不是對莎士比亞的身世不

感興趣，而是很感興趣。選項(xiàng)B認(rèn)為研究者沒有專門的技術(shù)發(fā)現(xiàn)事實(shí)。選項(xiàng)C說，作者們不在自己的作品

中提及自己的身世。第三段提及要想在莎士比亞的作品中找到有關(guān)他身世的蛛絲馬跡并不容易，因?yàn)樗?/p>

個時(shí)代，演藝公司可以任意修改作者們的作品。由此可見，文章要說的是，作者很有可能會在自己的作品

中提及自己的身世，不是不提及。

（3）.FromthispassagewecaninferthatShakespeare____.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00）

A.wasahorsethief

B.hadnoeducation

C.issurroundedbymythsJ

D.waspopularinStratford

解析：選項(xiàng)A在第四段提及，但那只是謠傳，并不能證明。選項(xiàng)B在第五段提及，莎士比亞至少念完了中

等學(xué)校，而不是沒受過任何教育。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。通篇都講的是謎一樣的莎士比亞的身世。各種謠傳，

各種猜測。選項(xiàng)D點(diǎn)明是在莎士比亞的出生地，他很受歡迎。根據(jù)文章的第二段，受公眾喜愛的應(yīng)該是他

的父親。

（4）.Thefirstsentencearousesinterestbypresenting______.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00）

A.adirectstatement

B.aquestionJ

C.anemotionalappear

D.acontrast

解析：比較明顯，選項(xiàng)B是正確的。文章的第一句以問句開頭，吸引讀者。

PassageTwo

（1）.SomepeoplemakearrengementsatorcampgroundsatYosemite.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00）

A.hotelsV

B.restaurants

C.parkinglots

I）,apartmentsnearthepark

解析：第三段。有些人在賓館或野營地預(yù)訂了房間，他們可以把車開進(jìn)公園，但只能把車停在車場。選項(xiàng)

A是正確的。

（2）.Peoplemightnotlikethechanges.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00）

A.inCongress

B.who1ikedrivigJ

C.wholikecycling

D.wholikecamping

解析：前兩段一直在講汽車給公園帶來的問題，由于汽車帶來很大噪音，大部分的汽車都將被拒絕進(jìn)入公

園。所以，喜歡開車的人應(yīng)不喜歡這些變化。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。

（3）.Howmighttheparkbedifferentafterthechanges?（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00）

A.Itwi11bemorequiet.J

B.Therewi11belesspeople.

C.Therewillbenocarsatall.

D.Everybodywillhavetowalkaroundthepark.

解析：第二段提到汽車帶來很大的噪音，甚至影響人們的交流，彼此聽不清對方說話。由此看來，大量減

少公園內(nèi)的車輛可以使公園比以前安靜。第一段提到，有時(shí)由于汽車太多，影響到公園里人數(shù)的增加。所

以，改變后的公園，因?yàn)檐囕v的減少，人可能有所增加而不是減少（選項(xiàng)B）。大多數(shù)車輛會被拒之門外，

而不是所有的車（選項(xiàng)0。因?yàn)橛?jì)劃新建自行車道。所以不可能人人都步行（選項(xiàng)D）。選項(xiàng)A是正確的。

（4）.Whichofthefollowingmightbethebesttitleforthepassage?（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00）

A.Floods-DestroyedPark.

B.ChangesinthePark.

C.YosemiteCarBan.V

D.NoCars.

解析：全文的主要焦點(diǎn)是阻止盡可能多的汽車進(jìn)入這個國家公園，是有關(guān)在這個公園實(shí)施的汽車禁令，因

此選項(xiàng)C是正確的。A和B選項(xiàng)都不是全文的主題，只是其中一個方面。選項(xiàng)D則太絕對。

（分?jǐn)?shù)：12.00）

（1）.InJapanese,theword"Karaoke"comefrom"kara〃and〃oke."Whatdothesewordsmean?（分

數(shù):3,00）

A.Singandtogether.

B.Singandhavefun.

C.Orchestraandsinger.

D.EmptyandorchestrJ

解析：第一段。Karaoke的前半截“Kara”意為“空”,后半截“oke”是英文“管弦樂隊(duì)”的日語縮寫。

選項(xiàng)D是正確的。

（2）.WhatdoesthewritersayistheimportantthingtodotoenjoyKaraoke?（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00）

A.Enterthecodenumber.

B.Choosemanydifferenttypesofmusic.

C.Listentootherssingingsoeveryonehasanaudience.V

D.Changeyourvoicefromawomantoamanorvice-vers

解析：第二段最后幾行。很重要的一點(diǎn)是你還要聽別人唱。人們通常希望別人能聽自己唱。你肯定也希望

別人聽你唱，如同真的歌手唱歌一樣。這也是大家去這種場所的目的。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。

（3）.WhatistheadvantageofaJapaneseKaraokeboxoveraKaraokebar?（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00）

A.Therearenounfamiliarpeoplewatchingyousoyouwon,tfeelnervous.V

B.Itismoretechnologicallyadvanced.

C.Theemployeesarefriendlier.

D.Thefoodisbetter.

解析：第一、三段。"thansinginginfrontofmanypeople,likeinkaraokebars"意為“而不是

像在卡拉OK廳那樣面對許多人唱”。這里肯定包括認(rèn)識的和不認(rèn)識的人。“karaokebar”是美國方式的

卡拉0K。選項(xiàng)A是正確的。

（4）.Howwouldyoudescribethewriter'sattitudetowardKaraoke?（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00）

A.Sheoftengoes,andlikesitsometimesandsometimesnot.

B.Shethinksitisnotonlyfun,butstressrelievingaswell.J

C.Shehasnottrieditherselfsohasnoattitudeaboutit.

D.Shefeelsitisawasteoftim

解析：作者在第一段中就表明唱卡拉OK可以放松一天的緊張情緒。其他段落也多次提到唱卡拉0K是多么

有趣，所以作者才會經(jīng)常出入卡拉0K廳。作者自始至終都在說明卡拉0K是很有意思的一種活動，并說她

每一次去都會獲得樂趣。所以，作者認(rèn)為唱卡拉0K是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間（選項(xiàng)D）,或說作者根本沒參加過這種活動

（選項(xiàng)C）,或說她有時(shí)喜歡有時(shí)不喜歡卡拉0K（選項(xiàng)A）都是不正確的選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。

A.Learningasecondlanguage.

B.ImmigrantswhobecomesickintheU.S.

C.SchoolsattendedbyimmigrantstotheU.S.

D.Languageanditseffectontheidentityofimmigrants.J

解析：作者在這篇文章中用說明和舉例的方式提出語言對人的特征的認(rèn)知和感受的重要影響。作者在第一

段就指出移民家庭的兩代人由于母語的不同而造成的對個人特征認(rèn)知和感受的困惑。第二段用作者自己的

親屬為例說明這一困惑。第三段強(qiáng)調(diào)應(yīng)當(dāng)教授第二代移民自己父母的語言以明確他們的特征。選項(xiàng)D是正

確的。

C.Allofherchildren.V

D.Onlytoherson.

解析：第二段。母親對所有三個孩子都說韓語，即便第二個孩子并不想說韓語，而第三個孩子并不想學(xué)韓

語。選項(xiàng)C是正確的。

(3).Whydidtheauthor*saunttrytoteachherchildrentospeakKorean?(分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00)

A.TohelpherimproveherKoreanlanguageskills.

B.TohelpthemestablishaKoreanidentity.J

C.TohelpthemsucceedintheU.S.

D.Tohelpthemfindagoodjo

解析：第一、二段。選項(xiàng)C和D是這位母親希望她的孩子們說好英語所能得到的。與此同時(shí)她也希望她的

孩子們能學(xué)好韓語，知道自己是誰。因此選項(xiàng)B是正確的。

(4).Basedonthepassage,thephrase“youridentity*7means.(分?jǐn)?shù)：3.00)

A.yourhome

B.yourdignity

C.whoyouareJ

D.whereyouarefrom
