It was while clearing out the old barn on the far side of the yard that he made an interesting discovery. In a corner, under some old sacks, he found some large fragm
25、ents (碎片) of an antique bowl. Out of curiosity, he took them into the kitchen and, much to the anger of his wife, washed the mud off them. That evening he spread newspapers over the kitchen table and carefully studied the fragments together. However, two pieces were found missing. Two days later, ha

27、nt of the window. “We might have something a bit special here,” he said to his wife. A few days later, Jeremy took several photographs of the bowl, which he sent off to Sothebys in London.

28、t it was a Chinese Ming fish bowl, dating back to around 1500, and might be expected to get a five-figure sum at auction (拍卖). A week later still more unexpectedly, two police officers called and told the Foxes the bowl was stolen property. So the bowl never reached the auction room, and Mr. Fox nev

Bernie got up and opened the curtains. A cat lay in the middle
43、of the road, twisted, broken and still. It was not a rare sight on that busy corner. Drivers took more care to avoid dogs, for there was often a value on a dog; farmers and the like might depend on them. But cats were nobodys business really, and there were too many about anyway. It was late that ev
44、ening that the first faint cries were heard. Nicola, reading in bed, heard them but took little notice. She slept in the back of the house, away from street noises, and there were often fighting cats beneath her window. Next morning, when Bernie woke her for school, there were the cries again, not j
45、ust one but several together. Nicola stared at her mother. “Theyre kittens,” she cried. “That must have been a mother cat yesterday. The kittens (小猫) are somewhere and theyre hungry.” After school Nicola found the little family in a storeroom beneath the house. The door of this storeroom was always
46、kept shut, but a broken window high in the wall was an invitation to any normal cat. There were six kittens, all very tiny. Four were black and white and two were marmalade. When Nicola bent to pick one up, there was a fierce reaction, and six tiny backs arched in terror. Laughing, she lifted up one
47、 of the little things and was surprised at how quickly it grew calm and curious in the warmth of her hand. Its eyes were only half open, and it seemed too weak to stand up. One by one Nicola put them in a cardboard box and took them indoors. “They must be fed at once,” Bernie, said when she saw them
48、. She put some milk on the stove to warm. “Nicky, look for that dolls feeding bottle you used to have. I think its in your cupboard. These little creatures cant drink from a saucer like cats; they have to be fed like babies.” She dipped her fingers in the warm milk and put them to the mouth of each
49、kitten in turn. How they loved it!66. What was the cause of the scream? A. Bernie had a nightmare and woke with a scream. B. A motorcar went too fast round a corner. C.

VI. 书面表达：根据下列图表以“How People Spent Their Holiday”为题，写一篇字数为120词左右的短文。 Changes in the Ways People Spent Their HolidaysThe ways of spending holiday19932003traveling abroad12%24%going to seaside38%31%camping1
55、0%36%staying at home40%9%total100%100%参考答案听力：15 CCBBA 610 BBABA 1115 CACBC 1620 ACBCB单项填空：21. A。本题易误选D。受汉语译文的影响，三个答案似乎都符合题意。at the age of 指“某人在岁时”，其逻辑主语应为主句的主语，C中的a car 没有年龄之说，而B中是“他的父亲5岁时去世”，不可能在5岁就做了“父亲”。只有A符合题意。22. A。look round具有“审查供选择的事物或可能性”的意思。答案为A。意为：“自从圣诞节以来，我一直寻找更好的工作”，指在工作中进行选择。23. C。out o
56、f control失控；out of size无此表达；out of shape变形，走样；out of line出线。句子的意思是：孩子们一直玩着我的帽子！ 把它弄得不成样子了。所以应选择C。out of shape变形，走样。out of shape还可作“身体不健康”解。如：Take exercise if youre out of shape. (身体不好就要锻炼)。其反义词为：in shape。如：Youre never be in shape until you eat less and take more exercise. (只有少吃多锻炼，才能健美)。24. B。本题考查省略
57、句的用法。intend to后省略了study English next term。25. C。honor作及物动词，honor sb. for sth.意为“因某事而给某人荣誉”。contributions 意为“对的贡献”，介词只能用to。26. C。the woman had _ her children 在句中作定语从句，修饰先行词the difficulty。the difficulty在从句中作had的宾语。have some difficulty (in) doing sth. 是常用的结构。27. B。 pick out sb. / ones face in the crowd
58、 意为“在人群中认出某人/ 认出某人的脸”。28. D。be particular about 是一固定搭配，其它词不能表达“对挑剔”的意义。29. A。那一年他的总收入达12,000元。add up (to)意为“总计(达)”。add to意为“增加、增添”。30. C。A和D意思相同，意为“不时；有时”。B常与过去时连用。句意是“你应该告诉她，因为迟早回真相大白的”。故选C。31. A。afford the time 意为“抽出时间”。C和D与time连用时，time前无the。32. A。在比较从句中为了避免重复，我们通常同that（those），one（ones）代替前面出现的名词。t
59、hat指物，one即可指人，也可指物。that可代替可数名词单数和不可数名词，而one只能代替可数名词。试比较：The book on the table is more interesting than that on the desk. (这里that = that one = the one) A box made of iron is stronger than one made of wood. (这里one the one)。33. C。search the forest搜查森林。in search of = searching for = looking for寻找34. C。w
60、hatever在句中作定语、主语或宾语，不适合句意。whoever作主语，也不适合句子。however作状语，指方式，与句子语境不吻合。whenever意为“无论何时”，引导状语从句，指时间，可入选。35. C。句意为：“真奇怪这种事情居然会发生在你的学校”。strange意为“奇怪”，表示对事实的惊讶与不满，要用should do表示虚拟语气，should可以省略。其它答案时态都不对。完形填空：本文讲述了生物链中动物生态平衡的问题。36C。Sport在这里指的是“乡间户外活动”，后面sportsmen暗示了这一点。37C。protectfrom为固定用法，意为“保护免于之害之苦”。38B。表
61、示捕获用catch。39A。按常识判断，动物保护法通过以后，狼的数量应当大大增加。40A。41C。现在狼太多了，反而把自己的食物来源破坏了。42C。狼以吃鹿为生。后面有提示。43D。只有寒冷的冬天才能使动物大量地死亡。44B。鹿赖以生存的野生植物环境也遭到了破坏。45D。当鹿找不到足够多的食物的时候，它们就死亡了。46D。47A。如果狼继续大量地捕杀鹿的话，它们的食物来源总有一天会消失。48B。我们必须改变这种恶性生态循环。49C。保持生态平衡。50D。如果我们捕杀更多的狼，我们实际上拯救了它们，使它们免于灭绝之灾。51B。狼除了吃野外的动物，他们还吃农场饲养的动物。此处不宜选用wild，因为
62、前一句已提到狼的捕猎物野外的动物。52C。狼攻击这些奶牛和鸡是为了获得食物。53A。只有农民才会提出这样的请求。54D。因为只有生物学家与这个问题有关。55A。在狼太多的地方采取捕杀的政策，而在狼数目不多的地方采取保护政策。阅读理解：56A。此题考查细节内容。从第2段中的much to the anger of his wife可知。57D。此题仍考查细节内容。从第3段第l句话可知。58A。此题考查推理判断能力。从Sothebys这个词的s和其在文中的位置可知为地点，再根据内容可排除D项。an antique shop意为“家古董店”。59D。此题考查细节与计算能力。从倒数第3段最后一句get
63、 a five-figure sum at an auction可知。five-figure意为“五位数”。60A。此题考查对全文的综合理解。通读全文可知B、C、D三项均符合文意，再结合最后两段可知A项不正确。61C。此题考查对作者写作意图的推断。从National Drivers Test及下文的分数、考试结果等可推知。62B。此题考查对全文的事实理解。从文中的第4点及回答可知。63D。根据文章细节，用排除法可知。64B。此题考查归纳能力。由第三段最后句话及第3点可知。65A。此题考查对全文事实的理解。从考试结果的第3点可知，也可运用排除法得知。66D。此题考查细节辨认。从第l段的前几句可知
64、。67B。此题考查事实理解。从第1段中的Drivers took more care to avoid dogs，for .一句可知。68C。此题考查细节事实。从第2段的第l、2句话可知。69A。此题考查推理判断能力。从倒数第2段可推知。70B。此题考查细节理解。从When Nicola bent to pick one up，there was a fierce reaction，and six tiny backs arched in terror可知。短文改错：1. mother mothers。mothers作定语，修饰birthday。2. her his。指代错误。这儿指代Elvi
65、s Presley本人，不是他母亲。3. 。4. 去掉was。因为sound是连系动词，没有被动语态形式。5. music前加上the。因后有定语从句，此处为特指。6. Short Shortly。副词Shortly修饰after that。shortly after that：从那时以后不久。7. arrange arranged。此处应与became形式一致。8. 去掉第二个as。副词短语as well意为“也，又”，表示concerts和recordings平行。9. And But。意义上转折。10. on at。书面表达：One possible version: How Peopl
66、e Spent Their Holidays The way people spent their holidays have changed a great deal. In 1993, 40% of the people spent their holidays at home, the number dropping to 9% in 2003. It seemed that people had more spare time than before and theyd like to spend more time and money to explore the outside w
67、orld or enjoy the entertainments than before. The table shows that a great number of people spent their holiday traveling abroad. Compared with 1993 (12%), the rate in 2003 (24%) is doubled. Because people now are richer than before, they can afford the overseas journey and the tendency will continu
68、e to rise.There are other two remarkable tendencies shown in the table: one is the rate of going to the seaside remained nearly the same, and the other is the rate of camping which has risen from 10% in 1993 to 36% in 2003 increased by more than three times. The reason may be that the true nature of
