8.[辨析] event/ accident/ incident
event一般指重大事件。accident多指意外或偶然發(fā)生的事故，特別是不幸的、有損害性的事故。incident相對(duì)于accident來說，顯得不很重要，指“小事件”，它還可以用來表示“事變”，如叛亂、爆炸等。如：

He is working on/ at a novel.
他正在專心寫一部小說。
They have worked at this subject for many years.
他們從事這項(xiàng)課題的研究已經(jīng)好多年了。

The children learn to read, write and they play games as well.孩子們學(xué)習(xí)讀書寫字，他們也做游戲。

三、精典名題導(dǎo)解
題1（NMET 2000）
_________production up by 60%,the company has had another excellent year.
A.As B.For C.With D.Though
分析：C. production 之后為up,它是一個(gè)副詞，for不能位于句首且常引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句。A、Ｄ不適于“介詞＋賓語＋賓補(bǔ)”這一結(jié)構(gòu)。
題２（NMET 1997）
I would love_____________to the party last night.But I had to work extra hours to fnish report.
A.to go B.To have gone
C.going D.having gone
分析：B.動(dòng)詞不定式的一般式to go表示動(dòng)作發(fā)生在謂語動(dòng)詞之后；to have gone是動(dòng)詞不定式的完成式，表示動(dòng)作發(fā)生在謂語動(dòng)詞之前。這里有“愿做某事但未做成之意”。
題３（上海 1999）
She can’t help___________the house because she’s busy making a cake.
A.to clean B.cleaning
C.cleaned D.being cleaned
分析：Ａ.此題的句意是：她不能幫忙打掃房子，因?yàn)樗τ谧龅案�。can’t help cleaning是“忍不住要打掃”，與下文矛盾。
題4（NMET 1999）
The purpose of new technologies is to make life easier, _______ it more difficult.
A.not make B.not to make
C.not making D.do not make
分析：B.空白處以后部分與to make life easier為并列成分，因此后面也用不定式。
題5（NMET 1999）
Robert is said___________abroad,but I don’t know what country he studied in.
A.to have studied B.to study
C.to be studying D.learning
分析：Ａ.從studied in可知不定式的動(dòng)作指過去，應(yīng)用完成時(shí)。
題6（NMET 1997）
She __________his number in the phone book to make sure that she had got it right.
A.looked up B.took for
C.picked out D.picked up

題7（上�！ �1997）
-What do you think made Mary so upset?
- __________her new bicycle.
A.As she lost B.Lost
C.Losing D.Because of losing
分析：Ｃ.從問句看，問的是made的主語。上述選項(xiàng)中只有動(dòng)名詞可作主語。
題8（上�！ �2001春）
Ｗhen you turn on the TV set ,clear picture will______________appear on the screen.
A.rapidly B.hurriedly

I made a promise to myself on the drive down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I 36 try to be a loving husband and father. Totally 37 . No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a commentator 38 my car’s tape player. He was 39 a passage about husbands being 40 of their wives. 41 he went on to say, “Love is an act of 42 . A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband 43 our love had been dulled by my own insensitivity (感覺遲鈍) . In unimportant ways, really; scolding Evelyn for her tardiness (拖拉); 44 on the TV channel I wanted to watch; throwing 45 day – old newspapers that I knew Evelyn still wanted to read. Well, for two weeks all that would 46 .
And it 47 . Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks 48 on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and 49 , maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn 50 a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the children 51 week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street investment (投資) firm 52 I am director; a visit to the shell museum, 53 I usually hate museums (and I enjoyed it); 54 my tongue while Evelyn’s getting ready for a late dimmer for us.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
The “standard of living” of any country means the average person’s share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country’s standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its ability to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and entertainment.
A country’s ability to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country’s natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on.
Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well as the U. S. in natural resources, but suffered for many years from wars, and for this and other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Stable political conditions and freedom from foreign invasion(侵略) , enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency (效能) of a country’s people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up a lot of skilled workers and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are laregely unskilled. Wealth also produces wealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day.
56. A country’s wealth lies in _____.
A. its standard of living B. its ability to develop its natural resources
C. its ability to provide goods and services D. its ability to provide transport and entertainment
57. The word “for most” means _____.
A. most importantly B. firstly C. largely D. for the most part
58. Which of the following is true?
A. China does not have the ability to turn all its resources to use.
B. U. S. is wealthy just because it has a vast land.
C. According to the passage, water is not a kind of natural resource.
D. With rich natural resources, people can live better.
B
At 2:30 on December 5, 1945, five US Navy training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida. The planes flew east over the coast…and disappeared. The group was Flight 19, on a run between Florida and Bahamas. Tailor was the group leader. At about 3:40, Tailor reported that his compasses were not reading properly. The other planes followed their leaders aimlessly, first east, then west, then northeast over the ocean, as Tailor tried to make sure of the direction by radio. Then, suddenly Tailor was heard to give orders to dive…
Quickly, two giant Martin seaplanes were sent up to search for Flight 19. Several hours later, the wind became strong and visibility (能見度) dropped. A return to base was ordered. But only one of the Martin seaplanes landed. Four days later, the Navy and Coast Guard combed a 100,000 square miles area with more than 100 planes and ships. No sign was ever shown of the missing planes.
Today, people have noted the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle (百幕大三角區(qū)).
The points of the triangle are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and a spot in the Gulf of Mexico, west of Florida. It is a two – faced water world of tiny islands, bright beaches and beautiful waters. Yet thick fogs, powerful currents (激流) and sudden storms are hidden behind this smiling surface.
59. Why did Flight 19 disappear?
A. Because the wind became strong and visibility dropped.
B. Because Tailor was given wrong orders to dive.
C. Because Tailor couldn’t read his compasses correctly.
D. Because something unknown made the compassed unable to work as usual.
60. In what position did Flight 19 disappear?
A. In the southeast part of the Atlantic Ocean. B. In the northeast part of the Atlantic Ocean.
C. To the southwest of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean. D. To the northeast of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.
61. How many planes disappeared altogether that day?
A. Five. B. Six. C. Two. D. Only one.
62. The word “comb” in the passage means _____.
A. cover with B. fly over C. do up one’s hair with a comb D. search all over
63. Which of the following shows the correct position of the Bermuda Triangle?
(F=Florida, Bm=Bermuda, PR=Puerto Rico, Bh=Barhamas, MG=the Gulf of Mexico, Atl =the Atlantic Ocean, B=Base)
It could happen to you
Many people think there is no need to take special care over home safety.
I’m all right, I’m insured (投保).
Maybe – if you’re fully insured. Even then you can never recover the value you place upon your possessions. But you can’t insure against the suffering of mind that we all feel if our homes are torn apart by some stranger, our windows and doors broken, our possessions ruined.
“It won’t happen to me.”
Won’t it? A house is broken into every three minutes of the day. Loss of all kinds, including cars and things stolen from cars, happens every 3 seconds.
“I’ve nothing worth stealing.”
You may think not. But in fact everyone has something worth a thief’s attention. And we all have things of personal value, even if they’re worth little or nothing in hard cash.
“I’m only a tenant (房客) here.”
Most thieves are on the lookout for easy pickings. They are soon discouraged by houses they can’t get into quickly and easily. So do pay special attention.
“This booklet will help you ……”
it’s based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country. Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes extra time and thought. A few may cost some expense, but this is small compared with the loss and sadness you might otherwise suffer.
If you are in any doubt, ask for free advice from the Crime (罪犯) Prevention Office at your local police station.
64. The text mainly tells us about _____.
A. how to escape being caught B. how to take special care of ourselves
C. how to hire a safe house in the country D. how to protect your home
65. We can learn from the text that_____.
A. it’s impossible to prevent a house from being broken into
B. we all have something that a thief thinks worth stealing
C. most thieves are good at stealing thing from cars
D. you can’t afford to get advice from your local police station
66. If a house if difficult to get into, _____.
A. the thief may give up trying B. the thief will steal car or things from cars
C. the owner may think extra safety fittings are necessary D. the owner may think there is no need to take special care
D
Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human resources expert notices this in the job applications that comes across his desk every day. “It’s amazing how many candidates eliminate (淘汰) themselves,” he says.
“Resumes (求職書) arrive with stains. Some candidates don’t bother to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate,” Crossley concludes, “If they cannot take care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?”
Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees,” says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco. “We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture. If they don’t, we should drop them and move to something else.”
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo II moon launch was slightly off – course 90 percent of the time, says Garfield, “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact position of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments (調(diào)節(jié)) as necessary. “Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.”
Too often we believe what accounts for others’ success is some special secret or a lucky break, But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.

Though salivation (分泌唾液) is natural, Pavlov noticed that a dog would salivate not just when it was eating, but also when it saw the man who usually fed it. In Pavlov’s early experiments he simply showed the dog some bread, enough to make the dog salivate. We cannot call this a natural reflex because a dog does not normally salivate at the sight of man. It is what psychologists call a ‘ conditioned response’(條件反射反應(yīng)). The dog has been taught, or ‘ conditioned’, to salivate when he sees the man.
Having decided to study this, Pavlov developed scientific methods for doing so. In order to make sure the experimenter did not disturb the dog and experimenter were put in separate rooms. Pavlov even put the dog in a kind of frame to make it stand still. He invented a system of tubes for giving the dog food, and watched what happened from outside the room. He found that he could condition the dog to salivate at almost any event – when a bell rang or a light flashed, for example – as long as this event was followed by food.
The American psychologist Skineer developed this idea of conditioning. He could condition animals to do quite complicated things by using a technique he called ‘shaping’. He could teach pigeons, for example, to play table tennis. At first he gave them a reward for knocking the ball a short distance in the right direction. Slowly he increased the distance they must knock the ball before getting the reward, and eventually they received it only when they knocked the ball past their opponent (對(duì)手).
71. Which of the following is not the experimenters’ aim?
A. To make sure the experimenter did not disturb the dog. B. To invent a system of tubes.
C. To condition the dog to salivate at almost any event. D. To teach pigeons to knock the ball in the right direction.
72. In order to make the dog salivate, Pavolv did not ____.
A. ring the bell B. give the dog food C. beat the dog D. put the dog in a frame
73. During experiments, Skinner ______.
A. gave pigeons a reward for knocking the ball into the hole
B. gave pigeons a reward for knocking the ball in opposite direction
C. decreased the distance because pigeons must knock the ball
D. gave pigeons a reward for knocking the ball past their ‘opponent’
74. An example of a ‘conditioned response’ is that _____.
A. a dog s mouth waters when it is eating B. a dog is conditioned to salivate when he sees the man
C. a dog is trained by an experimenter D. a dog is taught how to drink water
75. The underlined word “psychologist” means _____.
A. 心理學(xué)家 B.生理學(xué)家 C.物理學(xué)家 D.動(dòng)物學(xué)家

第四部分第二節(jié)
About the discussion we’ve had about whether China should devote major efforts to developing car industry, opinions are divided on the question.
60% of the students think China should fully develop car industry. They believe this will speed up the development of the national economy. More workers will be employed. With cars the people’s life quality will be raised. They will save time and be more convenient in their life and work.
On the other hand, 40% of them think China should control its car industry development. Otherwise, the city traffic will be even heavier and more fraffic accidents will take place. At the same time, more land will be used for the new roads. What is more, air and noise pollution will become more serious.

10. I was driving along the road to fetch my daughter from school. We were going to go swinning together. I’d finished work at about 4 o’clock and then gone to the post office. Then I’d stopped off at a shop for some fruit and bread. We liked to have some fruit and bread to eat after our swim.
I was driving fast when suddenly I saw the cars in front of me start to move from side to side.
I slowed down. Then my car started to shake! Perhaps something had gone wrong with my car, I thought. I stopped and got out of the car. And at the same moment a big tree by the side of the road fell down onto the car in front of me. I understood it was an earthquake!
