A
I went online to check my pay was in my bank account(账户)．To my amazement I discovered that not only had I been paid, a company I’d never worked for had also paid me! I know I’d have been beside myself if my own salary was not in my account，so I tried to get the money back to the right person．Easier said than done．
The bank couldn’t help as it“wasn’t a bank problem．”The human-resource department at the company that paid me was unable to help as I didn’t have enough details．I rang the bank again．Thankfully I had a sympathetic call operator who gave me a name, so I again rang the company“Daniel”worked for．
I expected the bank would contact me to arrange to take the money from my account and repay Daniel．I heard nothing for a month and the money remained in my account when Daniel called，explaining he’d tried to get back his money but had been unsuccessful as neither the bank nor his company felt it was their error．He had rung to ask if I could speak to the bank，but after chatting for a few minutes we realized we could probably fix this problem ourselves．
We decided 1 would take the money from my account and he would pick it up from me．Due to my busy job I was unable to meet Daniel personally but he left me a lovely bottle of wine in exchange for what was rightfully his．I never had any intention of keeping Daniel’s pay but red tape(繁琐手续)made it difficult to do the right thing．It all came down to two people being able to do what a huge bank and a large company couldn’t do — admit a mistake has occurred and fix it．
56．What was the attitude of the author towards the extra money in his bank account?
A．He didn’t know what to do with it．
B．He felt lucky to get it．
C．He thought of keeping it for himself．
D．He wanted to return it to the right person．
57．The underlined phrase“beside myself”probably means ________．

A．Daniel had been repaid when he called the author．
B．The author was to blame as he didn’t have enough details．
C．Neither the bank nor the company admitted their fault．
D．Daniel had the same name as the author’ s．
59．How was the problem solved in the end?
A．The author and Daniel solved the problem themselves．
B．It cost Daniel a lovely bottle of wine to get back his money．
C．The author gave the money back to the company．
D．The call operator offered to solve their problem．
60．From the passage we can infer that _______．
A．the bank could solve the problem soon and easily with the red tape
B．some large organizations usually have troublesome official rules
C．Daniel didn’t know the error before he contacted the author
D．the company gave the wrong account to the bank

Among the four skills in learning English, which one of these is the “odd-man-out”? The answer is speaking. The other three you can do alone on your own. But you can’t really speak alone! Speaking to yourself can be “dangerous” because men in white coats may come and take you away!
Where can you find people to speak English? And how can you practise speaking when you are alone?
At school If you pay to go to a language school, you should use the opportunity to speak. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to say as much as possible. Don’t worry about your mistakes. Just speak!
Conversation Clubs Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language for another. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. They are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee.
Shopping Even if you don’t want to buy anything, you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop. “How much does this cost?” “Can I pay by cheque?” Often you can start a real conversation-and it costs you nothing!
Café and Bars There are often American, Britain, Irish and Australian bars in many large cities. If you can find one. You’ll probably meet many people speaking English as a first or second language.
Language is all around you Everywhere you go, you find language. Shop names, street names, advertisements, notices, and car numbers… When you walk down the street, practise reading the words and numbers that you see. Say them to yourself. It’s not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to “think” in English. But don’t speak too loud1
Songs and Video Repeat the words of an English-language song singing with the music until it becomes automatic. It’s good practice for your memory and for the mouth muscles that you need for English.
Above all, speak as much as possible! Make as many mistakes as possible! When you know that you have made a mistake, you know that you have made progress!
61．What might happen if you speak to yourself loudly in public?
A．The police will take you away and punish you.
B．The doctors will force you to stay in hospital.
C．You will have to pay to escape being punished.
D．You will be forbidden to be member of the club.
62．In which places can you learn English NOT free of charge?
A．At school, in conversation clubs and café and bars.
B．At school, in shops and café bars.

A．everyone will make mistakes in learning English.
B．everyone will meet people speaking English with some mistakes.
C．making mistakes is a must in making progress in learning English.

The next time you try for a high-ranking post, you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending phone call “made” by US President George W Bush or British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Of course, neither of them could really do that for you-you would just “borrow” their voices.
AT & T labs will start selling speech software that it says is so good at reproducing the sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring the voices of long-dead famous people back to life.
The software, which turns printed text into speech, makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a person’s voice to say things that the person never actually said.
Possible customers for the software, which is priced in the thousands of dollars, include telephone call centers, companies that make software that reads digital files aloud, and makers of automated voice devices(装置). The advances raise several problems. Who, for example, owns the rights to a famous person’s voice? (Some experts even believe that new contracts will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses.)
And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud(假冒), would the synthesized(合成的) voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they know?
Even Mr Fruchterman, one of AT & T lab’s possible first customers, said he wondered what the new technology might bring. “Just like you can’t trust a photograph anymore.” He said, “you won’t be able to trust a voice either.”
65．With the help of the speech software, it is most possible __________.
A．to improve a famous person’s speech
B．to say what you want in another’s voice
C．to make a speech much more easily
D．to help you to find a better job
66．It the speech software were widely used, ___________.
A．people would no longer believe each other
B．it would not be necessary to go for a speech by a famous person
C．no radio or TV broadcasters would be needed
D．recording of a voice alone would not be taken as a proof in the court
67．According to the passage, you can infer that ___________.
A．the software will turn out to be an immediate success in the market
B．the government will forbid the sale of the software in the market
C．it’s hard to decide whether the software will enjoy popularity
D．the software will soon prove to be nothing but rubbish
68．The passage mainly wants to __________.
A．introduce a new software
B．explain the disadvantage of a new invention
C．advertise a new kind of product。
D．describe the future market of a new product
D
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 p.m. and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance to her rescue.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near-but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously(同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
69．How do you understand “Point 1: The telephone creates the need to communicate,…”?
A．People don’t communicate without telephone.
B．People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C．People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D．People communicate more because of more traffic.
70．Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?
A．Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
B．Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.
C．Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D．Mobile phones are part of people’s life.
71．The best heading for the passage is ___________.
A．Phone Power B．Kinds of Phone
C．How to Use Phones D．Advantage of Phones
E
Many people believe the glare（炫目的光）from snow causes snowblindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness ,when exposed to several hours of“ snow light”.
The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow -covered country. Rather ,a man’s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on （聚集） in a broad space of snow- covered without- grass land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid （流 体） which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see dearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snowblindness.
Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts（侦察兵）ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow - covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark - colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching the snow -blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time. the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.
72．To prevent snowblindness caused by the strong light from snow, wearing glasses or not ________.
A. depends on whether the snow is white enough
B. makes no difference
C. makes much difference
D. depends on whether the snow is thick
73．When the eyes are tired, tears flow out ________.
A. to clear the vision
B. to make the eyes stop searching
C. to make the vision unclear
D. to produce more and more liquid
74．Snowblindness can be avoided ________.
A. by moving one’s gaze back and forth
B. by walking ahead and keeping looking around
C. by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyes
D. by providing the eyes with something to focus on
75．What is the probable meaning of the underlined part “Their gaze is arrested” ?
A. They get something to look at. B. They can only look at one spot.
C. Their eyes are clear. D. They can’t see freely.

英语试题参考答案
第一部分(●听力—省略)
第二部分(●21-35题为1分/每题36-55题为1.5分/每题)
21．答案：C解析：without与with一样为介词，后面接宾语和宾语补足语，该短语在句中表示条件，说明事情还没有做，所以用不定式形式，该句子的意思是“在这个城市里没有人给他领路，他肯定会迷路。”
22．答案：C
解析：此题考查动词的时态。本题表示“从过去某一时刻开始到现在他们一直在做梦”，应该使用现在完成进行时。
23. 答案：A解析：表示“另外20张椅子”可以用以下表达方式：another 20 chairs, 20 other chairs, 20 chairs more, 20 more chairs。
24. 答案：D解析：该空格强调her little brother身材小，坐在椅子上的时候就像被椅子淹没了一样，所以应该填入lost，构成lost in结构作方式状语。
25．答案：D解析：此题考查动词的时态。用wasn't listening表示刚才进行的动作或者持续的状态。
26．答案：C解析：此题用现在完成时表示“从过去一直延续到现在的状况”。
27．答案：D解析：此题考查动词must表示对过去发生的事情的推测，意思是“一定 …；想必 …”。
28．答案：C解析：本题考查动词的时态。根据but后时态，可以判断出到现在还没有得出结论，有
可能还要继续下去，所以空格句要用现在完成进行时。

成时表示将来某时之间或某动作之前已经完成的动作。

应为过去的过去，这样就容易作出正确选择：过去完成时。
31．答案：D解析：本句用现在完成进行时表示：“漏油”是从过去一直持续到现在的状况。另外注意其时间状语：for some time。

clean等的主语如果是物，且表示主语的特性或品质时，常用主动形式表示被动意义。
33. 答案：D解析：此句中however引导让步状语从句。在从句中作feel的表语。句意为“不管你觉得他怎么样，尽量礼貌的对待他。”
34. 答案：B解析：本题考查词组意义的辨析。 make out意思是“弄懂”； turn out 表示“结果 …”； go on意思是“继续，接下去 …”；而 come up表示“走过来，发芽”。本句的意思是“我们本想在天黑前到家，但是结果不是像计划的那样”。
35. 答案：A解析：distance一般用good, great， long等来修饰，而对distance提问则要用疑问词what。类似的词还有：population, length, width, depth, cost。

One Possible Version:
Dear Sir / Madam
My family are planning a visit to Hong Kong Disneyland this winter vacation. I’ve got some information about the ticket prices on the Internet and now I’m writing for some detailed information.
I wonder whether children under 3 need to pay for a ticket and what is the difference between a peak day ticket and a special day ticket. Is it possible for us to get a discount if we buy tickets as a group? Can we book tickets through the Internet? Besides, I’d like to know if we are allowed to cancel our ticket bookings if we cannot make the trip for personal reasons.
I am looking forward to your reply
Yours,
Li Hua
