(A )
After more discussion, Paul and John come to an agreement. Paul knows that the deal will fall through if he doesn't get his act together quickly with the Chinese building suppliers. He tells John that if John's company keeps away from the South Korea market for the time being, he'll get things worked out in about three weeks by lending the Chinese company some of the money , without charging the usual interest, for materials and labor costs to get them started on building the hotels almost immediately .
John thinks that is a good idea but he's a hard businessman and drives a hard bargain. He wants two guarantees(保证) that the deal won't fall through at the last minute.
The first is that, if Paul can't come up with his side of the contract, then Paul's company will have to pay 400, 000 pounds, but with an agreement to discuss the project again in six months' time. Paul knows that his bosses won't want to part with that sort of money and agrees. However the second guarantee is that, even if Paul's company does start up on time but falls behind schedule (速度表) , it will cost his company 200, 000 pounds for every month lost. Paul thinks that is very hard and over the top, and he will have to look into it. But John says that is his "bottom line" , meaning that is the only deal he is going to make and Paul's company can either take it or leave it－either they give both guarantees of the deal falls through now . The business world can be a tough one .
36. The writer writes this article mainly to _______
A. show businessmen are hard to get along with

A. materials and labor costs B. the Chinese building suppliers
C. the hotels to be built D. the things to be worked out
39. When you drive a hard bargain, you ________.
A. argue about the price violently B. do everything you can to make a deal
C. get everything cheaper greatly D. make sure that an agreement suits you best

Political parties have existed far almost two hundred years . Today's political parties are so much a part of government that it would be hard to imagine government without them.
So political parties were necessary. A free society that allowed social and economic competition and public expression of interests was likely to form groups that competed for decision － making power in government . The groups－political parties－served to organize and counterbalance the competing interests in society .
The phrase "political party" comes in part from the Latin word " politics" meaning " wise in looking out for one's own interest". Today political scientists think of politics as any activity that resolves conflicting (对立的) value and interests. Politics has also been described as the art of compromise(妥协) . Political parties, then are the actors of politics, and government is politics' stage .
To reach their goal of directing public policy, political parties must get their members elected to government office where decisions are made . To do that, parties often attempt to offer many things to many people .
40. Why did political parties begin?
A. Because a free society that allowed social and economic competition and the public expression of
interests was likely to form parties that competed for decision－ making power in government .
B. Because the farmer knew that political parties were necessary .
C. Because they attempted to gain too much power in the government.
D. Because today's parties are a part of government that it would be hard to imagine government without
them.

A . Political parties are the actors of politics .
B . They comprise to resolve conflicts .

The Internet and the World Web (网) are great places to be right now. We use the word "place" because so many of the things you can do online are similar to the things you can do wherever people gather together－in homes , schools , libraries , shopping centers , or at family reunions or town meetings. The Net allows people to learn shop, find important information, and communicate, whether they're local, global or simply virtual (虚的) .
The Web is useful. You can find old friends online. You can research and book flights, check the weather, find breaking news, find out information about schools and colleges. Yon can even place an order for books, CDs, computers and cars.
The Internet is also fun. You can write to old friends or check out their web pages, enjoy web - based soap operas, laugh at online jokes, join in a live Net Event, chat with other Internet surfers(漫游者) , check to see if your name appears anywhere on the Web .
Millions of users log on to the Net every day, and it's not just to do research. There's a lot of fun there. That's one reason why it's called web "surfing".
Of course, the first step to using the Web for business or for fun is learning how to work a "web browser" . If you' re new to computers, it may take a while before you are completely comfortable with your browser. Don't worry. You don't have to be a computer whiz. The basics of a web browser are very much like the basics of modem computers－ -learning how to point and click the mouse, learning how to scroll up and down a page of text, and learning how to use pull - down menus. Again, be patient. There's no time limit on web surfing . Give yourself a chance to explore (探索) the browser itself while you explore the Web.

47. To use the Web, all we have to do is to learn how to________ .

(五)书面表达(满分25分)
请以“圣诞节”为题写一篇短文，包括以下几个要点，词数100—120左右。
1．12月25日是圣诞节，是美国及西方国家的重要节日。
2．这一天大多数家庭团聚，共进晚餐，互赠礼品，看望朋友。
3．多数家庭都买圣诞树，是圣诞节的重要组成部分。
4．儿童相信有圣诞老人，留着白胡子，身穿红衣服。
5．父母告诉孩子圣诞老人坐着雪橇到处跑，顺着烟筒来到屋里，把礼物放在圣诞树下。
参考词汇： 圣涎老人：Santa Claus 雪橇：sleigh 烟囱：chimney
答案及解析：
〔一〕 单项选择
1．A why not后接动词原形表示“为什么不……?”，remain 则表示“仍然；仍旧”之意，不合语境；stay表示“呆”；句意为：“外面太热了，为何不呆在家里?”
2．C 对于别人的祝愿有两种应答方式：(1)若可以互致祝愿常说 The same to you．也可以说：And you，too．(2)有些祝愿不能互致，只能用 Thank you来回答．如：Happy birthday．因为一般情况下问者与答者不大可能是同一天生日。
3．A “认出”的动作是在对话之前，即过去的动作，在说话时已经终止，所以应用过去
时态。
4．C be worth 后接动名词的主动式表示被动含义，不接不定式。
5．A 表示“拜访某人”应用call on sb．或 drop in on sb．
6．C I'm sorry，but…常用来表示委婉的拒绝。
7．B 此题考察marry 的用法。A，C，D结构都不对，在B项中marry作为不及物动词使用，表示婚姻状况。
8．A cost可做名词用，表示“费用”；而 use 作名词则表示“用途”。
9．C 首先，let和hope 不能接不定式作宾补，promise sb．to do sth．表示“向某人许诺干某事”，在此处不合句意；选 permit 表示“吉姆的爸爸不允许他加入学校足球队。”
10．B 首先此处表示“包括”，应选include ，在这后面接了宾语the children，所以应用现在分词而不用过去分词。
11．C 本题考察在语境中考察情态动词表推测的用法。在肯定句中，表示猜测用 may，might 和must，在否定句和疑问句中，表示猜测用can或could．全句意为“我的英汉词典不见了，会是谁拿去了呢?”在疑问句中表示对过去情况的推测，用could have done ，而不用must have done．而A，D选项明显不对。
12．A receive “收到”；get“得到’；recognize “认出”。这三项都不合句意，选accept 表示“接受”之意。
13．A 根据前面的she remained calm 可知，应表示“一点也不惊讶”，所以选a bit．
14．A 首先must表示推测不能用于否定句；should not have done sth．表示“本不应该干过某事”；might not have done sth．表示“或许没干过某事”，表示的可能性极小；could not have done sth．表示“不可能干过某事”，根据后面的句子可知，推测的可能性极大，所以用 could不用 might．
15．B 根据句意问句应为“你习惯于用这种计算机了吗?”，所以应选 working ；答语应为：“还没有，因为我以前常常使用算盘”，后项应选 use．
(二)完形填空
16．D 全文讲述了 Ann Jones周游世界的有趣故事，综合全文内容应选interesting．
17．B 根据18后面的see the world以及下文所讲的都是各个国家可推知。
18．D 根据前面的 she was a typist 可知她应是放弃工作。
19．B 文章最后My first trip abroad changed my life暗示答案。
20．A 根据下文的she took a boat to France可知应是到国外。
21．B 表示“当时她仅仅18岁”。
22．A 后面的句子she has visited Europe 表明应是Europe．
23．A 从前后句意的理解可知，本句应为“当然，自那第一次旅行之后她多次游过欧洲，但是这次使她开始旅行”。
24．D 根据后面的 although it was not all enjoyable可知选excitement相对比。
25．B 后面的lost…表明应是“丢了钱包”。
26．C 前面的lost her purse 以及后面的had to work 表明答案。
27．C 本句意思为“然而，她在那里交了许多朋友，在那以后又多次回去过。”
28．A 全文就是讲述了travels。
29．C 表示“她回家工作了两年，一直在攒钱”，saving 表示“攒钱”。
30．A 已经攒了钱，所以“现在不断旅游，钱少时就再找工作”。
31．B 旅游当然可以交友，但不能赚钱。
32．B 到许多国家旅游，应是学到许多语言，而不是技巧。
33．C 根据后面的 and has often been sick 表明应是“偶尔遇到困难。”
34．D 根据全文可知她非常喜欢旅行，应是“从未考虑放弃旅行。”
35．C 表示“我的第一次旅行改变了我的生活，自那以后我一直想旅行”。
(三) 阅读理解
36．C 由文章的最后一句 The business world can be a tough one可知．
37．D 由…the second guarantee is that…it will cost his company 200，000 pounds for every month
lost ．Paul thinks that is very hard …and he will have to look into it 可以推出答案。
38．D 由…he'll get things worked out…可知。
39．D 从文章的第二段内容可以推出。
40．A 由第二段中A free society that allowed social and economic competition and public expression of interests was likely to form groups …可知。
41．C 由The groups —political parties—served to organize and counterbalance the competing interests in society 可知。
42．A 由the competing interests in society 和文中最后一句．．．parties often attempt to offer many things to many people 可推知。
43．B 由作者对政党的高度评价可推知。
44．A 由文章首句 The Internet and the World Web are great places to be right now可知。
45．B 全文讲述因特网既有用，又可用于娱乐，fun可表示“供娱乐用的；给人欢乐的”，相当于“of great enjoyment”；但funny则主要表示“逗人发笑的；滑稽的；古怪的”等意思。故答案为B，而不是C．
46．A 由Don't worry．You don't have to be a computer …及前面的句子可推知。
47．D 由learning how to point and click the mouse,…how to scroll up and down a page of text 以及…how to use pull-down menus 可知。
48．C 本题考查考生根据语境猜测词义的能力。根据短文第二段叙述的最大的竞争者Shandhai Bashi Tourism Car Rental Car Rental Centre提供了很多种类供选择及Santana sedans是人们特别喜爱的这些事实确认这些词语指供出租的小汽车，故答案为C．
49．D 短文第四自然段叙述了这些汽车出租公司每月能吸引顾客使用他们70％的小汽车，节、假日期间，租用数量还要增加，该段末尾也说明一些公司在节、假日期间他们所有的汽车都出租出去了，故只有D项与短文内容相符。
50．C 短文最后一段中The major market force rests in the growing population of white-collar employees, who can afford the new service 说明，队伍不断扩大的白领雇员能担负起这种新兴客运费用，他们是租用出租汽车的主要市场力量，这说明了上海汽车出租公司迅猛发展的主要原因，故C为最佳答案。
(四) 短文改错
51．in 1974→1974．介词错误，时间状语是年、月、日的，只需用一个介词；但若是年、月、日、时的，则要用at six thirty ，on the morning of May 4th，2001．
52．正确。
53．good→well．形容词和副词此行的混淆错误．固定词组be good at，do well in都可表示“在……方面学得好”。
54．fond→was fond．动词谓语残缺错误。fond是形容词，and引导并列谓语结构，故应用动词短语be fond of．
55．entered into→entered 动词enter是及物动词，直接接宾语．
56．study→to study 此处用动词不定式短语做目的状语．
57．farther→further. farther 意为“更远的”，表示实际距离；further 可以表示“深远的；进一步的”，深造学习应用 further study。
58．get→got．时态错误。“取得学位”是过去的动作。
59．but→and．连词错误。根据其前后两个分句的句意可知，不是转折关系。
60．receive→receiving ．非谓语动词错误。look forward to 应接名词或动名词。
(五) 书面表达
