解析：[听力原文]32-35 Alexander Fleming was bom on August 6th, 1881 on Darvel, Scotland. He was
one of the eight children in the family. As a boy he showed a strong interest in nature. Just
before his 14th birthday he went to London to live with an older brother, Dr. Thomas Fleming.
At 16 he went to work as a clerk for a shipping company. When Fleming was twenty, an uncle died
and left him a small sum of money. Determined to use the money wisely, he asked his brother's
advice. Dr. Flemning suggested that he take an examination for medical college. He took the exam,
and he got the highest score. He then began to study at St. Mary's Hospital in London. When he
completed his medical training, Fleming did not join his brother's practice as he had earlier
intended. He decided to spend the rest of his life as a biologist. It was in the fall of 1928
that Fleming discovered penicillin, the chemical produced by a mold called Penicillum. But it
was two years before anyone attempted to produce pure penicillin in quantity. This was achieved
by two other scientists, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain, during World War Ⅱ , in time to save
the lives of thousands of wounded soldiers. In 1945, he, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize
for medicine. Alexander Fleming died at the age of 71, on March 11th, 1955. 32. In which country

填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：casual）
解析：
[听力原文]36-46
Americans usually consider themselves a friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend to be
shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It's not uncommon for
Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other "friends" to
be American mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be dependent on other people.
They tend to divide friendships, having "friends at work", "friends on the softball team'", "family
friends" and so on.
Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always
seem to be on the go. In this highly changed atmosphere , Americans can sometimes seem impolite
or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something
else. Some times, at first, they will ask you questions that you feel very persona]. No result
is intended; the questions usually grow out of their real interest or curiosity, and their
impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for yon. If you do not understand
certain American behaviors or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them
questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or
anything " American" in which you may be interested. So much so that you may become tired of
listening. It doesn't matter, because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during
conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores than deal with
silence.
On the other hand, do not expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or
world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United
'States is not surrounded by many other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the
world.

填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：southern→4south）
解析：southern和south的区别在于southern强调“南方的，南部的”。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：further→farther）
解析：当further和farther作形容词时，两者的区别在于further指程度上的“更进一步”。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：worthwhile→worth）
解析：要搞清worthwhile的用法在这里是否正确，就要搞清it在这里到底指什么，如果it是形式主语，则必须在句尾再加一个it或Chile，而这里却没有。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：political→politically）
解析：此处应用副词修饰形容词stable。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：suffering→suffered）
解析：problems和suffer的关系是被动的，所以应为suffered。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：war→warfare）
解析：war往往指具体的战争，而warfare则指“武装冲突，战斗”，它强调的是内容和过程，所以这里用warfare。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：partner→partnership）
解析：partner指具体的“伙伴”，而partnership则指“伙伴关系”，所以这里应改 为in partnership
with。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：takes→taking）
解析：这句话的两个动词词组is running a worldwide campaign和take part in trade fair,的关系应该是主从的关系，用后者来具体阐述前者，所以后者应变为ing形式作伴随状语。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：parching→parched）
解析：parch往往用作及物动词，表示“使干枯，使干燥，使渴”。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：In）
解析：boast这里应作“拥有，享有”解，是及物动词，所以应去掉in。
十四、{{B}}Part Ⅵ Short Answer Questions{{/B}}(总题数：5，分数：45.00)
word in the first two paragraphs best explains why many women have to work?
（分数：9.00）
__________________________________________________________________________________________
正确答案：()
解析：Survive．/Economics．/Money 本文讲的是妇女外出工作的利弊。作者根据自己的经验，指出妇女做出外出工作的决定有时过于匆忙。过分地期待事业成功，却没有看到妇女呆在家里会得到更多。头两段说对于很多妇女来说，决定是否上班是一种奢侈，因为她们只有上班才能生存(survive)。后面又提到“economics”和 “money”，都是妇女必须工作的原因。

one of the eight children in the family. As a boy he showed a strong interest in nature. Just
before his 14th birthday he went to London to live with an older brother, Dr. Thomas Fleming.
At 16 he went to work as a clerk for a shipping company. When Fleming was twenty, an uncle died
and left him a small sum of money. Determined to use the money wisely, he asked his brother's
advice. Dr. Flemning suggested that he take an examination for medical college. He took the exam,
and he got the highest score. He then began to study at St. Mary's Hospital in London. When he
completed his medical training, Fleming did not join his brother's practice as he had earlier
intended. He decided to spend the rest of his life as a biologist. It was in the fall of 1928
that Fleming discovered penicillin, the chemical produced by a mold called Penicillum. But it
was two years before anyone attempted to produce pure penicillin in quantity. This was achieved
by two other scientists, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain, during World War Ⅱ , in time to save
the lives of thousands of wounded soldiers. In 1945, he, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize
for medicine. Alexander Fleming died at the age of 71, on March 11th, 1955. 32. In which country

填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：casual）
解析：
[听力原文]36-46
Americans usually consider themselves a friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend to be
shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It's not uncommon for
Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other "friends" to
be American mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be dependent on other people.
They tend to divide friendships, having "friends at work", "friends on the softball team'", "family
friends" and so on.
Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always
seem to be on the go. In this highly changed atmosphere , Americans can sometimes seem impolite
or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something
else. Some times, at first, they will ask you questions that you feel very persona]. No result
is intended; the questions usually grow out of their real interest or curiosity, and their
impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And the same goes for yon. If you do not understand
certain American behaviors or you want to know more about them, do not hesitate to ask them
questions about themselves. Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or
anything " American" in which you may be interested. So much so that you may become tired of
listening. It doesn't matter, because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during
conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores than deal with
silence.
On the other hand, do not expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or
world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United
'States is not surrounded by many other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the
world.

解析：当further和farther作形容词时，两者的区别在于further指程度上的“更进一步”。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：worthwhile→worth）
解析：要搞清worthwhile的用法在这里是否正确，就要搞清it在这里到底指什么，如果it是形式主语，则必须在句尾再加一个it或Chile，而这里却没有。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：political→politically）
解析：此处应用副词修饰形容词stable。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：suffering→suffered）
解析：problems和suffer的关系是被动的，所以应为suffered。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：war→warfare）
解析：war往往指具体的战争，而warfare则指“武装冲突，战斗”，它强调的是内容和过程，所以这里用warfare。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：partner→partnership）
解析：partner指具体的“伙伴”，而partnership则指“伙伴关系”，所以这里应改 为in partnership
with。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：takes→taking）
解析：这句话的两个动词词组is running a worldwide campaign和take part in trade fair,的关系应该是主从的关系，用后者来具体阐述前者，所以后者应变为ing形式作伴随状语。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：parching→parched）
解析：parch往往用作及物动词，表示“使干枯，使干燥，使渴”。
填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：In）
解析：boast这里应作“拥有，享有”解，是及物动词，所以应去掉in。

（分数：9.00）
__________________________________________________________________________________________
