Part I Writing (30 minutes)
1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled On Internet Celebrities. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below. 1. 近年来出现了大量因不同原因而出名的网络名人 2．有人认为这是网络时代的进步，有人认为他们的出现是一种退步 3．你的看法
正确答案： On Internet Celebrities[1]In recent years a variety of Internet celebrities have emerged with different stories.[2]Some folks consider it a cultural progress in this network era while some hold the opposite opinion.[3] I prefer to agree that this phenomenon is a progress.[4]First,the emergence of those celebrities represents the free expression of new ideas,either creative or queer.[5]New idea is a very important aspect in the development of this fast-moving world.[6]Second,the society’s acceptance to the celebrities indicates that we are more open-minded and willing to take in new stuff than before.[7]With more new ideas and open-minded sense, we are able to create an all-round diversified society.[8]All in all,the emergence of Internet celebrities,to some extent,is our progress in developing a more diversifted society.
解析：[1]提出现象，对应提纲中的第1点。with different stories说明了网络名人出名的原因和过程的不同，stories用得正好，比用reasons地道。[2]用转折词while指出两种不同的看法，consider和hold的交替使用让用词不显单调。the opposite opinion概括性强，使行文简洁。[3]明确提出自己的观点，引出下文的重点阐述。prefer to…用语地道，优于think等。[4][5][6][7]First...Second...从“新思想的表达” 和“社会文化的多样性”这两个角度沦证。使用fast-moving，open-minded，all-round等复合词，使表达简洁、地道。queer“奇怪的；诡异的”，是亮点词汇。[7]with+名词为亮点句型，表明在前面两点的铺垫下，自然得出的结果。[8]用All in all总结全文。其中to some extent留有余地，使观点不偏激不绝对。

How Should Teachers Be Rewarded? We never forget our best teachers-those who inspired us with a deeper understanding or an enduring passion, the ones we come back to visit years after graduating, the educators who opened doors and altered the course of our lives. It would be wonderful if we knew more about such talented teachers and how to multiply their number. How do they come by their craft? What qualities and capacities do they possess? Can these abilities be measured? Can they be taught? Perhaps above all:How should excellent teaching be rewarded so that the best teachers--the most competent, caring and compelling--remain in a profession known for low pay and low status? Such questions have become critical to the future of public education in the U.S. Even as politicians push to hold schools and their faculty members responsible as never before for student learning, the nation faces a shortage of teaching talent. About 3.2 million people teach in U.S. public schools, but, according to an estimate made by economist William Hussar at the National Center for Education Statistics, the nation will need to recruit an additional 2.8 million over the next eight years owing to baby-boomer retirement, growing student enrollment and staff turnover (人员调整)--which is especially rapid among new teachers. Finding and keeping high-quality teachers are key to America’s competitiveness as a nation. Recent test results show that U.S. 10th-graders ranked just 17th in science among peers from 30 nations, while in math they placed in the bottom five. Research suggests that a good teacher is the single most important factor in boosting achievement, more important than class size, the dollars spent per student or the quality of textbooks and materials. Across the country, hundreds of school districts are experimenting with new ways to attract, reward and keep good teachers. Many of these efforts borrow ideas from business. They include signing bonuses for hard-to-fill jobs like teaching high school chemistry, housing allowances and what might be called combat pay for teachers who commit to working in the most distressed schools. But the idea gaining the most motivation--and controversy--is merit pay, which attempts to measure the quality of teachers’ work and pay teachers accordingly. Traditionally, public-school salaries are based on years spent on the job and college credits earned, a system favored by unions because it treats all teachers equally. Of course, everyone knows that not all teachers are equal. Just witness how hard parents try to get their kids into the best classrooms. And yet there is no universally accepted way to measure competence, much less the great charm of a truly brilliant educator. In its absence, policy-makers have focused on that current measure of all things educational: student test scores. In districts across the country, administrators are devising systems that track student scores back to the teachers who taught them in an attempt to assign credit and blame and, in some cases, target help to teachers who need it. Offering bonuses to teachers who raise student achievement, the theory goes, will improve the overall quality of instruction, retain those who get the job done and attract more highly qualified candidates to the profession--all while lifting those all-important test scores. Such efforts have been encouraged by the Bush Administration, which in 2006 started a program that awards $99 million a year in grants to districts that link teacher compensation to raising student test scores. Merit pay has also become part of the debate in Congress over how to improve the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act. Last summer, Barack Obama signed merit pay at a meeting of the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers’ union, so long as the measure of merit is “developed with teachers, not imposed on them and not based on some test score.” Hillary Clinton says she does not support merit pay for individual teachers but does advocate performance-based pay on a schoolwide basis. It’s hard to argue against the notion of rewarding the best teachers for doing a good job. But merit pay has a long history in the U.S., and new programs to pay teachers according to test scores have already had an opposite effect in Florida and Houston. What holds more promise is broader efforts to transform the profession by combining merit pay with more opportunities for professional training and support, thoughtful assessments of how teachers do their jobs and new career paths for top teachers. To the business-minded people who are increasingly running the nation’s schools, there’s an obvious solution to the problems of teacher quality and teacher turnover: offer better pay for better performance. The challenge is deciding who deserves the extra cash. Merit-pay movements in the 1920s, ‘50s and ‘80s turned to failure just because of that question, as the perception grew that bonuses were awarded to principals’pets. Charges of unfairness, along with unreliable funding and union opposition, sank such experiments. But in an era when states are testing all students annually, there’s a new, less subjective window onto how well a teacher does her job. As early as 1982, University of Tennessee statistician Sanders seized on the idea of using student test data to assess teacher performance. Working with elementary-school test results in Tennessee, he devised a way to calculate an individual teacher’s contribution to student progress. Essentially, his method is this: he takes three or more years of student test results, projects a trajectory (轨迹) for each student based on past performance and then looks at whether, at the end of the year, the students in a given teacher’s class tended to stay on course, soar above expectations or fall short. Sanders uses statistical methods to adjust for flaws and gaps in the data. “Under the best circumstances,” he claims, “we can reliably identify the top 10% to 30% of teachers.” Sanders devised his method as a management tool for administrators, not necessarily as a basis for performance pay. But increasingly, that’s what it is used for. Today he heads a group at the North Carolina-based software firm SAS, which performs value-added analysis for North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and districts in about 15 other states. Most use it to measure schoolwide performance, but some are beginning to use value-added calculations to determine bonuses for individual teachers.
2． Teaching is an occupation known for______.
A．high status
B．low salary
C．good welfare
D．great ability
正确答案：B
解析：题干中的an occupation为该句中a profession的同义改写，known for low pay and low status修饰的是a profession，B的low salary与原文low pay对应，故选B。
3． What’s the key factor to strengthen achievement for a school?
A．A good teacher.
B．The class size.
C．Finance.
D．Textbooks.
正确答案：A
解析：题干的key factor和strengthen achievement分别是对该句the single most important factor和boosting achievement的同义改写，据此可知题目问的what正是a good teacher，故选A。
4． Merit pay attempts to pay teachers according to ______.
A．the length of working year
B．number of titles attained
C．their working performance
D．profit they made for school
正确答案：C
解析：该句提到绩效奖(merit pay)目的在于衡量教师的工作质量并相应给予报酬，据此可知绩效奖是根据教师的工作质量来付薪给教师，C的their Working performance是对the quality of teachers’work的同义替换，故选C。
5． Student test scores have become the key measure of teachers’performance due to ______.
A．the lack of well-accepted standards
B．the absence of federal funding
C．strong theoretical support
D．past successful experience
正确答案：A
解析：In its absence指的是缺少第4句提到的universally accepted way to measure competence．这是学生考试成绩成为衡量教师表现的原因，A的lack与原文absence同义，well-accepted standards与原文universally accepted way同义，故选A。干扰项B的absence直接照抄原文，但federal funding无原文支持，故不选。
6． How does Hillary Clinton think about the merit pay?
A．She is planning to cancel the merit pay program.
B．She advocates the merit pay for individual teachers.
C．She agrees the school staff should be paid based on performance.
D．She supports that teachers are paid based on working experience.
正确答案：C

7． What has been the result of the merit pay program in Florida and Houston?
A．It has improved the quality of instruction.
B．It has provided more professional trainings.
C．It has had an positive effect on education.
D．It has turned out to be a failure.
正确答案：D
解析：an opposite effect表明绩效奖在佛罗里达和休斯敦实行的效果不好，据此可推知绩效奖在这两个地方的实行结果是失败的，故选D。 A、B、C均是褒义，与原文的opposite effect不符,可排除。
8． Merit-pay movements in the past didn’t succeed because ______.
A．the schools couldn’t decide how much should a good teacher be paid
B．more and more schools were run by business-minded people
C．unfairness was created when deciding who should get the extra money
D．the government didn’t give enough support to the movement
正确答案：C
解析：该句because of和as后的内容提供了此题需寻找的原因，that question指的是第2句提到的问题：决定谁应得到额外的奖励。as引导的内容补充说到“越来越多的观点认为奖金授予了得宠于校长的人”，C是对以上分析的综合理解，符合文意，故选C。
9． The annual tests for students bring a new,______way to measure the teaching quality.
正确答案：less subjective
解析：此处需填人形容同性成分，修饰way题于中的way to measure the teaching quality是对该句window onto how well a teacher does her job的同义替换，原文的new，less subjective并列修饰该部分内容,据此可知此处需填与new并列的less subjective。
10． Based on the test results in Tennessee, Sanders devised a way to measure how a teacher______to student progress.
正确答案：contributes
解析：此处需填入动词，作how从句的谓语动词。题干中的measure同义改写该句中的calculate，而how...progress也是对an individual progress的改写，原文用名词contribution作calculate的宾语，题干用how从句来作measure的宾语，故应把contribution改成其动词形式，又因主语a teacher为单数，故答案为contributes。
11． Sanders’method was at first created as a management tool for administrators rather than______.
正确答案：a basis for performance pay
解析：此处需填入名词性成分，作rather than的宾语。该句not necessarily as后的内容不是sander方法的用途，题干中的rather than与not necessarily as对应，据此可知答案为a basis for performance pay。

听力原文： A bit of rain and wind in summer can be nice.But bad stomps are quite different.Some of the worst storms are typhoons.Every year, about 80 typhoons hit different places around the world. The strongest ones are usually around the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.Most of them happen in July,August and September.Why?When lots of seawater gets hot in the summer sun,it evaporates into the air.This makes the air hotter,too.When the air gets warm enough,it starts to move higher up into the sky.Then,cooler air around it rushes in to fill the space that is left.Once the air gets warmer,it starts to move more quickly,making wind.The wind goes in circles,and it keeps moving higher in the sky.The warmer the air gets,the quicker the wind moves.And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second,a typhoon begins.A typhoon has two parts.One is called the “eye”.This is right in the middle of a typhoon and is calm.The eye of typhoon can be about 40 kilometers wide.In the eye,the wind does not move so fast,and there are not many clouds in the eye.The other part of a typhoon is the wall of clouds around the eye.This is where the strongest winds and hardest rains are.Typhoons are very dangerous.They blow away houses and cars.And they can also kill people!Typhoons’hard rains are bad for farmers’crops.

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)
Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
Think before you post. You might not be aware of how much information you’re【S1】______. That’s the message from the founders of Please Rob Me, a website launched last week that【S2】______just how easy it is to rob people blind on the basis of the information they’re posting on the Web. The site uses streams of data from Foursquare, a(n)【S3】______popular location-based social network that is based on a game-like premise(前提). Players use smart phones or laptops to “check in” to a location,【S4】______their position on a map for friends using the service to see. The more often you check in, the better your chances of being declared the mayor of a【S5】______location, be it a restaurant, bar, office or even your own home. The problem comes when users also post these locations to Twitter, says Boy van Amstel, one of the founders of Please Rob Me. Then the information becomes【S6】______available, making it possible for a robber to keep a close watch on when you say you’re in your home or not. So how can you keep yourself off Please Rob Me and, more important, keep your home out of the police notebook? A little foresight goes a long way. Sites like Foursquare and its competitors don’t post your location unless you give it to them, nor is it posted to Twitter without your【S7】______. It’s always up to the user to【S8】______what to post. Are you going to get robbed because you’re oversharing? It’s【S9】______. But Please Rob Me shows that sometimes a little【S10】______online can go a long way.A)illustrates B)likely C)publicly D)particular E)decideF)excessively G)realize H)caution I)typicalJ)increasinglyK)revealing L)unlikely M)means N)consentO)recording
48． 【S1】
正确答案：K
解析：此处应为动词的-ing形式。下文谈到由于个人信息在网上发布会让盗贼盯上，据此可知此处应该表示个人信息的“泄露”，revealing符合题意。
49． 【S2】
正确答案：A
解析：此处应为动词。该句的逻辑主语是Please Rob Me，为单数概念的专有名词，据此可知词库中只有illustrates和means可选，根据下文的how easy…可知该网站是“说明”该情况，“意味着”不符文意，故选illustrates。
50． 【S3】
正确答案：J
解析：此处应为修饰popular的副词。increasingly popular表示“越来越受欢迎”，符合文意。excessively含有贬义与行文不符。
51． 【S4】
正确答案：O
解析：此处应为动词的-ing形式，构成现在分词短语。此处意为“把位置记录在地图上”，recording符合语义。
52． 【S5】
正确答案：D
解析：此处应为形容词，修饰location。下文的restaurant，bar等都属于特定的地点，它们提示了此处应该表示“特定的”，particular符合；注意typical无原文支持。
53． 【S6】
正确答案：C
解析：此处应为副词，修饰available。下句提到盗贼会密切关注某人，据此可知发布到网上的信息应该能“公开获得”，publicly符合语义。
54． 【S7】
正确答案：N
解析：此处应为名词。上文提到像Foursquare这样的网站不会发布个人地点，句首的nor表明此处顺着上文意思，据此推知没得到“同意”，个人信息也不会发布到Twitter上，consent符合文意。
55． 【S8】
正确答案：E
解析：此处应为动词。It is up to sb.to decide表示“由某人决定”，为常用句型，且语义符合，故选decide。
56． 【S9】
正确答案：L
解析：此处应为形容词。上文提到只要个人不同意，其位置就不会被发布到网上，所以顺接疑问(会不会因为过度分 享而遭抢劫?)的回答应是否定的，unlikely符合语义。解答此题要注意联系上下文进行分析，不难排除likely。
57． 【S10】
正确答案：H
解析：此处应为不可数名词。名词词库中只有caution符合语义，表示“谨慎使网络还是大有裨益的”。
Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
While traveling abroad, Mr. Jackson Frank ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking; for $500. “Send the money by telegram,” he wrote, “to the Fisher Bank. “ After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport. “ Nothing has come for you, “he was told. This went on for two weeks and Mr. Frank got very worried. He sent a telegram to his brother, asking where the money was. There was no reply, and no money arrived for him. In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill. His passport was taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him. He was sent to prison for six days. When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher bank. The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have you received $ 500 for me?” he ask,” My name is Jackson Frank. “ The clerk checked his books. “Yes, Jackson, it’s here. It came by telegram.—let me see—oil, more than two months ago. We wondered where you were. “He showed Mr. Frank the order. The order read: “Pay Mr. Frank Jackson the sum of $500... “ “But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson. “ “Oh, that’s all right, sir. It was in our books under the letter ‘J’ , but it’s your money. “ The clerk laughed, “A human mistake, sir! We’re all human beings, aren’t we? And so we all make mistakes. A family name like Frank sounds strange to me. “ Mr. Frank was silent. He really wanted to hit somebody. At last he said, “A human mistake—is that what you call it? I think some humans need kicking. “
58． Jackson didn’t just go to his brother and get some money because ______.
A．he was afraid to see his brother
B．he was in prison and was not allowed to go anywhere
C．he was traveling in a foreign country and was far from his brother
D．he knew that his brother had no money
正确答案：C
解析：见原文第1句，“While traveling abroad. Mr. Jackson Frank ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking for $500.”由此推知Mr. Jackson正在国外旅行。由“Send the money by telegram …”推知Mr. Jackson离其兄弟甚远，所以需电报汇款。因此答案选择C。
59． A week after he had written to his brother, Jackson began ______.
A．telephoning the bank
B．visiting the bank
C．shouting at the clerks of the bank
D．explaining his problem to the clerks of the bank
正确答案：B
解析：见原文第二段第一句，“After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank …”，其中calling at即为visiting。
60． Jackson was arrested and sent to prison because ______.
A．his brother hadn’t sent him any money and he couldn’t pay his hotel bill
B．he had spent almost all his money and couldn’t pay his hotel bill
C．he had lost all his money and couldn’t pay his hotel bill
D．his brother hadn’t sent him as much money as he asked for and he couldn’t pay his hotel bill
正确答案：B
解析：见原文第三段第一句“In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill.”因此得知Mr. Jackson被捕的直接原因是未能支付旅馆费用，四个选项均符合。使用排除法：A、D分别指出他的兄弟未汇款和他的兄弟汇款数目不足，均不正确。C他的钱丢了，更未提到，因此选择B。
61． Which of the following statements is true?
A．The money did not reach the Fisher Bank.
B．The money reached the wrong bank.
C．The money reached the bank after he was arrested.
D．The money reached the bank before he was arrested.
正确答案：D
解析：通读全文知汇款到达了指定的银行，因而只能选C或D。再考虑汇款到达的时间。根据“He was sent to prison for six days.”及“It came by telegram … more than two months ago.”知汇款在Mr. Jackson被捕前就到了。因此选择D。
62． The clerks put his name under the wrong letter ______.
A．through carelessness
B．because they were human beings
C．because he had a strange name
D．by pronouncing his name incorrectly
正确答案：A
解析：见原文倒数第二段“A human mistake, sir! We’re all human beings, aren’t we? …”其中易造成混淆的答案是B“because they were human beings”，这是银行出纳员给自己的错误找的借口。而真正的原因是他的疏忽，因此选A。
To most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that Can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group. To give a job to a fellow tribesman is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader it is considered good common sense to choose his closest adviser from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion--from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager—within a very short time. Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life. As evidence of tribalism, in 1977 in Kenya, president Jomo Kenyatta’s tribe controlled business and politics. Eight of the 21 cabinet posts, including the most important four were filled by Kikuyus. In Uganda in the same year, the president’s small Kakwa tribe filled almost all the highest government and military positions! In Agola, Ethiopia, and Nigeria, the fighting in the past ten years can be partly explained by disagreements among tribes.
63． What is the definition of tribalism?
A．Sharing among members of the extended family.
B．Giving a job to a fellow tribesman.
C．A force that can be both good and bad.
D．People have the same religious belief.
正确答案：A
解析：见原文第一段第三句。“By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family.”
． One example of how a tribe takes care of its own people is ______.
A．a force that can be both good and bad
B．very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group
C．tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion
D．it is important to be loyal to one’s own tribal group
正确答案：C
解析：见原文第一段“It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group.”以下各句均为该句的例证。其中包括“Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion”。因此选择C。
65． In paragraph 2,” the most important four” refers to ______.
A．military position
B．business
C．cabinet posts
D．Kikuyus
正确答案：C
解析：见原文第二段“Eight of the 21 cabinet posts, including the most important four …”其中the most important four指代前听刚提到的cabinet posts。因此选择C。
66． How many examples are there “as evidence of tribalism”?
A．Four.
B．Two.
C．One.
D．Three.
正确答案：D
解析：见原文第二段“As evidence of tribalism …”以下各句均为例证。确定其数日为3。
67． According to the passage, which of the following statements is wrong?
A．Modern African politicians approve of tribal divisions.
B．A person is usually taken care of by his own tribe.
C．Africans consider it an obligation to give a job to a fellow tribesman.
D．Tribalism is still a powerful force in day-to-day African life.
正确答案：A
解析：见原文第二段“Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions, Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.”因此推知现今非洲领导人反对种族分离，只是这种现象仍客观存在。因此选择A。
Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.
Rumor is the most【C1】______way of spreading stories—by passing them on from mouth【C2】______mouth. But civilized countries in normal times have better【C3】______of news than rumor. They have radio, television, and newspapers. In times of stress and【C4】______,【C5】______, rumor【C6】______and becomes widespread. At such【C7】______the different kinds of news are in【C8】______,the press, television, and radio versus the grapevine. Especially【C9】______rumors spread when war requires censorship(审查，检查)on many important matters. The customary news sources no longer【C10】______enough information. Since the people cannot learn【C11】______legitimate(合法的，正规的)channels all【C12】______they are anxious to learn, they pick up “news”【C13】______they can and when this【C14】______, rumor thrives. Rumors are often repeated【C15】______by those who do not believe the tales. There is a fascination about them. The reason is【C16】______the cleverly designed rumor gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the victims—the fears, suspicions, forbidden hopes, or daydreams which they hesitate to【C17】______directly. Pessimistic(悲观的)rumors about defeat and disasters show that the people who repeat them are【C18】______and anxious.【C19】______rumors about record production or peace soon coming point to complacency(满足，自得)or confidence—and often to【C20】______.
68． 【C1】
A．primitive
B．important
C．impossible
D．outstanding
正确答案：A
解析：下一句谈到文明社会在正常时期有比谣传更好的传播途径．也就是说，谣传是原始的，非文明的。其他选项不合文章主题。
69． 【C2】
A．till
B．to
C．for
D．by
正确答案：B
解析：from…to从……到；from…until/till与时间搭配；其他介词不与from搭配。
70． 【C3】
A．means
B．ways
C．sources
D．resource
正确答案：C
解析：means，ways与后面的of news 搭配不当。resource资源；natural resources of our country我们国家的自然资源；source表“来源”。
71． 【C4】
A．confusion
B．peace
C．prosperity
D．worried
正确答案：A
解析：stress“紧张”，名词，and后面常接一个词性相同，意义相关或相近的词，peace和平；prosperity繁荣；confusion混乱；worried是形容词“焦急的”。
72． 【C5】
A．and
B．however
C．so
D．therefore
正确答案：B
解析：however为副词，可放在句中表示该句与前句意义的转折；and为连词，一般放在句首，与前句构成并列关系。so, therefore为副词，放句首，与前句构成因果关系。
73． 【C6】
A．emerges
B．immerge
C．immerse
D．immense
正确答案：A
解析：emerge出现，涌现，为不及物动词；immerge为不及物动词，“浸入”，“埋头、专心”；immerse为及物动词，表“浸泡”之意；immense巨大的。
74． 【C7】
A．time
B．the times
C．times
D．the time
正确答案：C
解析：有一类不可数名词，加上复数后缀-s后，意义有所变化，例：water(水)，waters(水域)；snow(雪)，snows(积雪)，此处times是“时代”的意思，而且，上句中“In times of stress and confusion”。也提示我们这儿应用times。
75． 【C8】
A．compete.
B．competition
C．common
D．harmony
正确答案：B
解析：后半句中的versus“才抗”提示我们此处只能有competition(竞争)。compete动词，不能接在介词in后面；in common普通，共同；in harmony和谐。
76． 【C9】
A．do
B．did
C．are
D．were
正确答案：A
解析：作谓语状语especially放在句首，句子可部分倒装。部分倒装时，实义动词用助动词do, did, does提前(疑问句即倒装句中的一种)。本句中spread为实义动词，且从句中用一般现在时，由此可推知主句也用一般现在时，故选项A正确。
77． 【C10】
A．give up
B．give off
C．give out
D．send off
正确答案：C
解析：give out发出(光、热)，散发(消息)等；give off发出(光热)；give up，放弃；send off 出发。
78． 【C11】
A．through
B．by
C．in
D．across
正确答案：A
解析：through…channel通过……渠道；别的介词不能与channel搭配。
79． 【C12】
A．what
B．why
C．which
D．that
正确答案：D
解析：“他们急切想要知道的所有消息”，此处all为先行词引导定语从句，that在从句中作宾语，此时不能用which，因为先行词为all。what引导名词性从句，因其前面有all，所以此处不能用what。
80． 【C13】
A．wherever
B．where
C．whatever
D．what
正确答案：A
解析：wherever等于no matter where。
81． 【C14】
A．happened
B．would happen
C．happens
D．happen
正确答案：C
解析：此处讲的是——种客观事实，通篇都用一般现在时态。
82． 【C15】
A．ever
B．even
C．forever
D．much
正确答案：B
解析：ever曾经；even甚至；much非常；forever永远。此处用even来加强语气。
83． 【C16】
A．that
B．what
C．why
D．how
正确答案：A
解析：由why, how, what引导的句子一般很少接在此处。The reason is that…是固定句型。reason和that从句的内容完全相同。
84． 【C17】
A．act
B．voice
C．behave
D．do
正确答案：B
解析：谣言的传播是”from mouth to mouth”(见第一自然段)，显然是voice(表达、述说)，而不是act, behave, do这些行为动作。
85． 【C18】
A．happy
B．relieved
C．crazy
D．worried
正确答案：D
解析：and前后意义相近，词性统一。relieved(松了一口气)；crazy(疯狂)。
86． 【C19】
A．Bad
B．Pessimistic
C．Optimistic
D．Good
正确答案：C
解析：上一句谈到悲观谣言，此处与之相对，自然是optimistic(乐观的)rumors了。
87． 【C20】
A．overconfidence
B．overweight
C．overconsiderate
D．overproduce
正确答案：A
解析：此处用破折号表递进，标志词为“to”，意义就应是confidence的递进了，即overconfidence(过分自信)。overweight过分肥胖，超重；overconsiderate过分体贴；overproduce生产过剩。

Last year’s economy should have won the Oscar forthe best picture. Growth in gross domestic product was4.1 percents; profits soared; exports flourished; and 【M1】______inflation stayed around 3 percent for the third year.Though why so many Americans give the picture a lousy 【M2】______rating? The answer is jobs. The macroeconomic situationwas good, and the microeconomic numbers were not. 【M3】______Yes, 3 million new jobs were there, but not enoughof them were temporary, good jobs paying enough to 【M4】______support a family. Job security was rampant (猖獗的). 【M5】______Even as they announced higher sales and profits,corporations acted as if they were in a tailspin, cutting516,069 jobs in 1994 alone, almost as much as in the 【M6】______recession year of 1991. Yet, unemployment went down. But over 1 millionworkers were so encouraged that they left the labor 【M7】______force. More than 6 million who wanted full-time jobwere only partially employed; and another large groupwas either unqualified or sheltered behind the euphemismof self-employment. We lost a million good manufacturingjobs between 1990 and 1995, continuing the trend has 【M8】______reduced the blue-collar work force from about 30 percentin the 1950s to about half that today. White-collar workersfound out they are no longer immune. For the fast time, 【M9】______they are let go in numbers virtually equal to those forblue-collar workers. Many resorted to temporary work withlower pay, fewer benefits but less status. 【M10】______ All that in a country where people meet for the firsttime would say, “What do you do?”
88． 【M1】
正确答案：percents改成percent
解析：名词的单复数误用。在数词后面percent应用单数形式。
． 【M2】
正确答案：Though改成So
解析：逻辑关系错误。此处使用Though造成逻辑混乱，句意不通。
90． 【M3】
正确答案：and改成but
解析：逻辑关系错误。前句是肯定句，后句为否定句，显然中间用but连接。
91． 【M4】
正确答案：temporary改成permanent
解析：上下文语义矛盾。根据上下文，本处应是“永久的，持久的”。
92． 【M5】
正确答案：security改成insecurity
解析：上下文语义矛盾。句意表明工作的不安定情况很严重，所以用insecurity。
93． 【M6】
正确答案：much改成many
解析：易混词误用。修饰可数名词job，应该用many。
94． 【M7】
正确答案：encouraged改成discouraged
解析：上下文语义矛盾。从上下文可知，短期工作使工人失望，所以是discouraged。
95． 【M8】
正确答案：trend改成trend that
解析：缺漏。trend后为句子，应用that来引导，作为定语从句修饰fiend。
96． 【M9】
正确答案：are改成were
解析：时态错误。时态不一致，主句谓语动词是过去时found out，宾语从旬也应是过去时。
97． 【M10】
正确答案：but改成and
解析：逻辑关系错误。此处为并列关系，应用并列连词and。
