A. Because they all grow up in London. • B. Because they have a special license.

• C. Because they all have gone through a very tough training period.

• D. Because they drive at a high speed.

•

A B C D 该问题分值: 1 答案:C [解析]

London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license.

During this period, which can take two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you \"How do you get from Birmingham Palace to the Tower of London?\" and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower, they won't say \"Well done!\". They will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions, they will just say \"See you in two months' time.\" and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their present jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the exam. SSS_SIMPLE_SIN 2. How long does the training period last? A. Two years. • B. Three years.

• C. Four years. • D. Two to four years.

•

A B C 该问题分值: 1 答案:D SSS_SIMPLE_SIND

3. Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs? A. Because they want to earn more money. • B. Because they are not allowed to earn money as drivers without a license.

• C. Because they don't want to leave the jobs. • D. Because they are asked to do so.

•

A B C 该问题分值: 1 答案:B SSS_SIMPLE_SIND

4. What can we learn from the passage?

A. London tax drivers always take a map of London with them.

• B. Streets in London are quite small. • C. Learner taxi drivers use cars during the training.

• D. The exams during the training period are not easy.

A B C 该问题分值: 1 答案:D SSS_SIMPLE_SIND

5. What are they talking about?

A. Saving money. • B. Spending holiday.

• C. Visiting their parents. • D. Borrowing money.

•

A B C D 该问题分值: 1 答案:B [解析]

W: We've overspent dreadfully this month. M: By how much?

W: It looks to me as if it's getting on for almost 400 pounds. M: Oh, does that mean we won't be able to get our holiday? W: I honestly don't think that we could afford to go really. M: But we haven't had a holiday for three years! Just because we can't afford it. W: That's true.

M: I was really looking forward to this holiday... three weeks in Barbados at Christmas—warmth, sea, sunshine. W: I know. So was I.

M: Can't we ask your mother for the money? Can't we borrow the money from somewhere for the holiday?

W: Well, You know we're still in debt over the car. And we've always said we wouldn't borrow money for things that weren't absolutely essential. A holiday isn't essential. M: I really feel it is this time.

W: Well, let's look at cheaper holidays then. Let's look at somewhere closer to home, right. Let's look at Europe.

M: Well, there's no point in going to Europe at Christmas, is there? W: Well, you said you wanted to get away from the cold here. Well, you only want to go where it's hot and sunny? M: Yes, I want some warmth.

W: Oh, I think we ought to borrow the money from your mother.

M: I don't want to talk about it anymore. Let's discuss it some other time.

对话开始部分女士提到本月他们超支了，男士马上想到他们不能去度假了“does that mean we won't be able to get our holiday?”，随后两人就能否借钱去度假或能否去近点的地方去度假展开讨论，另外，对话中反复提到了关键词holiday，如“get our holiday”，“I was really looking forward to this holiday”“Can't we borrow the money from somewhere for the holiday?”，“let's look at cheaper holidays then”，因此[B]选项正确。 SSS_SIMPLE_SIN6. What's their problem with the holiday? A. They don't agree on where to go. • B. They don't have enough time. • C. They can't afford the holiday. • D. They don't have a car.

•

A B C D 该问题分值: 1 答案:C

根据对话中女士所说“I honestly don't think that we could afford to go really．”可知，他们没钱去度假，另外，男士所说“Can't we borrow the money from somewhere for the holiday?”也证实了这一点，因此[C]选项正确。 SSS_SIMPLE_SIN7. Why does not the woman want to ask her mother for money? A. She thinks her mother will not lend them the money. • B. She thinks they can borrow money from their friends. • C. She thinks they should not waste money on a holiday. • D. She thinks they should earn more money.

•

A B C D 该问题分值: 1 答案:C

本题的关键是听到并理解女士所说“we've always said we wouldn't borrow money for things that weren't absolutely essential. A holiday isn't

essential．”。从女士的话语中可得知，女士认为他们不应借钱去度假，[C]选项符合要求。 SSS_SIMPLE_SIN 8. Where does the man want to go?

A. To somewhere hot and sunny. • B. To somewhere cold.

• C. To somewhere near home.

• D. To somewhere near his parents' home.

•

A B C D 该问题分值: 1 答案:A

由对话中男士所说“I was really looking forward to this holiday ... three weeks in Barbados at Christmas—warmth, sea, sunshine.”可知，男士想到温暖的海边度假，对话的最后部分女士问到“you said you wanted to get away from the cold here. Well, you only want to go where it's hot and sunny?”，男士回答“Yes, I want some warmth.”，这一问一答也表明了[A]选项正确。 SSS_SIMPLE_SIN 9. Why is it difficult to locate Cambridge University?

•

A B C D 该问题分值: 1 答案:C [解析]

\"Where is the university?\" is the question many visitors to

Cambridge ask. But no one could point at any direction because there is no campus. The university consists of 31 self-governing colleges. It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city. Individual colleges choose their own students who have to meet their minimum entrance requirements set by the

university. And the students usually live and study in their colleges but they are taught in very full groups. Lectures and laboratories and practical work are organized by the university and held in

university buildings. There are over ten thousand undergraduates and three thousand five hundred post-graduates. About 40% of them are women and some 8% from overseas. As well as teaching, research is of major importance. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, more than sixty university members have won Nobel prizes. The university has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research. It has more than 60 specialist subject libraries as well as the university

library, which as the copy-right library, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain. Examinations are held and degrees are awarded by the university. It allowed women to take the

university exams in the 1881, but it was not until 1941 that they were awarded degrees. SSS_SIMPLE_SIN 10. What do we know about the colleges of the university from the passage?

We are going to the game on Friday, but Saturday I'm on duty at the library all day and can't get out of it. Uh, I was wondering if you could show her around during the day and maybe we can all meet for dinner later.

W: Sure. I don't have any plans. What kind of things does she like to do?

M: Actually I haven't seen her for three years. She lives so far away. But this will be her first time on a college campus, she is still in high school. So she probably enjoys anything on campus. W: Well, there is a music festival in the auditorium. That's a possibility. Only I hope it doesn't snow.

M: Well, I'll plan on dropping her off at your place on the way to work, around eleven. But if there is a blizzard, I'll give you a call and see if we can figure something else out.

W: Sounds good. Meantime I'll keep Saturday open. We can touch base Friday night when we have a better idea of the forecast.

M: I hope this works out. I feel kind of responsible. She won't know a way around. And I want her to have a good time. Anyway I really appreciate your help. I owe you one.

W: No problem. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Identical twins are a perfect test case for theories of

personality development. If a theory can't explain the differences between identical twins, then it cannot explain environmental effects on personality. Even identical twins brought up in the same home have different personalities.

Take Ladan and Laleh Bijani from Iran. They were identical twins who had spent their entire 29 years joined at the head. And yet, Ladan, the more outspoken of the pair, told journalists, \"We are **pletely separate individuals, we have different world views, We have different lifestyles, we think very differently about issues.\" Why did Ladan and Laleh have different personalities?

Self-organized systems in insects can provide us with some

ideas. A colony of ants, for example, can be seen as a self-organized system. No supervisor tells the ants what to do, and yet all the jobs get done. The system works in such a way that if one ant carries out a particular job, it be comes less likely that another ant will

attempt that job because it no longer needs doing. The result is what economists call \"division of labor. \"

Self-organization also produces division of labor in human groups. Each individual looks for something to specialize in, his or her own suitable position in the group. If one position is occupied, the individual will seek another. This process increases the differences even between identical twins, because once they've chosen different specialities, a circular mechanism causes small initial differences between them to widen.

Although identical twins look very much alike, people who know them well will distinguish between them. They might, for example,

address more questions **ments to one twin than the other—perhaps by chance first. But the consequence is that the twin who is addressed more of ten will do more talking than the other twin, which will cause people who know them to address still more of their questions **ments to that twin. The result, over time, will be one outspoken twin and one quieter one—like Ladan and Laleh Bijani.

Research has shown that motivation is very important in

learning a language; you need to be enthusiastic about it, and to be interested in it. Different people will have different motives-the desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment are only some of the possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is the most important motive of all.

Courage is an essential attribute in learning a language. It takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends or to native speakers, bat don't be afraid of making mistakes--that is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own constructions and accent, and, so long as you can make yourself understood and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language.

Curiosity is not only a possible motivation. It is also a great help in your learning. Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system, it is the outcome of a certain culture or

different cultures. It is no good learning strings of words and lists

of grammatical tales unless you know as much as possible about the background of the language, so that you can understand the ideas wich are being conveyed, the references which are being made, the

inferences Which can be drawn from the information explicitly given. So learn as much as you can about the different cultures which

influence English--watch television programmes, listen to tile radio, try to obtain newspapers and magazines which are written by native speakers, look at advertisements, and above all, read--not textbooks, but novels and poems and plays. They will show you how language is really used. The English language is not an abstract system; it is a living form of expression which derives much of its meaning from the context in which it is used, and much of its effect from a whole

network of extra-linguistic knowledge. If you live in a country where English is the native language, you acquire this knowledge naturally, just as in China you acquire your own cultural knowledge

unconsciously. But because you are unlikely to be able to visit

countries where English is spoken as the native language, you have to make a conscious effort to acquire this cultural awareness and knowledge. SSS_SIMPLE_SIN 1.

Paragraph 1:

Japanese managers believe that change and initiative within an organization **e from those closest to the problem. So they elicit change from below. Top-level Japanese managers see their task as creating an atmosphere in which subordinates are motivated to seek better solutions. Paragraph 2:

Japanese managers do not view themselves as having all the

answers. When a subordinate brings in a proposal, the manager neither accepts nor rejects it. Rather, he tactfully, politely asks questions, makes suggestions, and provides encouragement. Paragraph 3:

In the Japanese system, junior(middle. managers are initiators who perceive problems and formulate tentative solutions in

coordination with others; they are not functional specialists who carry out their boss' s directives. Because so much emphasis is

placed on coordination and integration, solutions to problems evolve more slowly, but they are known and understood by all those who have been a part of the solution generation process. **munication is

stressed as essential to the coordination of problem-solving efforts. Paragraph 4:

The Japanese are less inclined to think in terms of absolutes, that is, the solution (which right) versus the alternatives (which are wrong.. Rather, they recognize a range of alternatives, several of which might work and all of which possess advantages and

disadvantages. When a group makes a decision, all members **mitted to the chosen solution. From a Japanese perspective ,**mitment, and the ensuing dedication toward working to make the solution successful, Is probably more important than the objective quality of the decision. The Japanese have an interesting concept of consensus. Those who consent to a decision are not necessarily endorsing it. Rather, consent means that each person is satisfied that his point of view

has been fairly heard, and although he or she may not wholly agree that the decision is the best one, he or she is willing to go along with it and even support it. Paragraph 5:

Japanese managers have a kind of paternalistic attitude toward their employees. Traditionally, Japanese organizations have offered their workers housing, extensive recreational facilities, and life-time employment. The Japanese believe that it is impossible to divorce a worker' s personal and professional lives. Good managers express concern for workers as persons with homes and families as well as for the quality of products the workers produce. Managers work alongside their subordinates , counsel them regarding their personal lives, and encourage much peer interaction. Statements

SSS_TEXT_QUSTI 该问题分值: 15 答案:

Early Rising

Early rising does good to students in more than one way. It is known to everybody that air is never so fresh as in the early

morning. By taking morning exercises in the fresh air, we can improve our health. Besides, early rising enables us to have enough time to plan our work better and get ready for the study of the day.

Late rising does harm to both our health and our study. Some

students have already fallen into the habit of getting up late in the morning. They do not rise until the last minute for class. As a result, they often go to class on an empty stomach. They are always in such a hurry that they often miss a pen, or a notebook or even a textbook.

So, those late rises ought to make special efforts to get up early in the morning. It is true that bed habits die hard. Yet, as long as we try our best and do not give up halfway, I am sure that a strong will, good health and improved performance on study will be achieved. Part B 1.

Housing Problem in China

Housing **es hand in hand with population growth. Some big cities in China are now encumbered with an ever-increasing

population. Naturally, one of the most serious problems incurred is that of housing.

Despite the mushrooming high buildings, the provision of living space still falls far short of demands. Since China is developing rapidly, its people are no longer reconciled to living in shabby shelters. They look forward to decent dwelling places with dignity. Various solutions have been suggested. But there seems to be a drawback to each of the solutions. The traditional free allocation of dwellings to the needy brings great economic burden to the

government, while paid allocation brings equal burden to the average people. Moving urban population to the suburbs may ease the housing problem in inner city but brings about traffic problems. The best solution seems to be a combination of all suggested solutions, We still have a long way to go.

[解析]

(ⅰ)这是结合段首句和关键词两种题型的写作题，考生应紧密结合这两种题型的写作方法来答题。
