Section B
Directions: 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 and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
It's no secret that some of the resolutions that many of us vowed to pursue in the new year-eat healthy, lose weight, quit smoking, save more money一have already fallen by the wayside.
Many of them are likely the same resolutions that we abandoned last January. And it's a good thing for those who sell health club memberships, quit-smoking programs and other procts that help us think we can improve our lives.
Many gyms see new memberships double in January, making up for the third of their members who do not renew each year.
And many who sign up in January will be no-shows by February.
"If I try one quick fix and it doesn't work, I may be more likely to try the next quick fix," Lisa Lahey, who coaches executives how to sustain behavior change, told The Times.
The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge doesn't offer any quick fixes, just a 12-hour schele full of exercise, a 1 200-calories-a-day diet and a fee of $2000 a week. The resort teaches its clients that "weight management" is a combination of fitness, diet and emotional health.
"Given my recent weight gain, and the fact that I was turning 50," Jennifer Conlin wrote in The Times,'' I wanted to start a program that would make 2012 the year I finally got in shape."
"For years, the advice to the overweight people has been that we simply need to eat less and exercise more," Tara Parker-Pope wrote. "White there is truth to this guidance, it fails to take into account that the human body continues to fight against weight loss long after dieting has stopped. This translates into a sobering(令人清醒的)reality: once we become fat, most of us, despite our best efforts, will probably stay fat."
Of course this revelation(揭示), it proven true by further study, is not good news for the weight-loss instry. But chances are it won't have much impact on the human tendency to resolve to get to the gym more and avoid chocolate cake when the clock strikes midnight on December 31.

Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
When University of California-Berkeley released a study this month showing alarmingly high teacher turnover (人員流動) rates at Los Angeles charter schools, I wasn't surprised.
That's not a slam at local charter schools. It's just that the study echoed something I'd observed many times, starting with my niece.
Bright and cheerful, my niece longed to teach high-needs children. She started out in the San Francisco public schools, where she was assigned to the district's toughest elementary school. Fifth-graders threw chairs across the room-and at her. Parents refused to show up for conferences.
She wasn't willing to deal with this level of indifference and teacher abuse, so she switched to a highly regarded charter elementary school in the Bay Area where she poured her energy into her job and it showed. Her students' test scores were as high as those in a nearby wealthy school district, despite the obstacles these children faced.
Yet by her fourth year, my niece was worn out, depleted (耗盡) of the energy it took to work with a classroom of sweet but deeply needy children who pleaded to stay in her classroom when it was time to leave. The principal's offer of a $10000 raise couldn't stop her from giving notice. She went to work at that wealthy school district next door- for less money.
Over the years, I've met many impassioned (充滿激情的) teachers at charter schools, only to call them the next year and find they've left. The authors of the Berkeley study theorize that the teachers leave because of the extraordinary demands; long hours, intense involvement in students' complicated lives, continual searches for new ways to raise scores. Even the strongest supporters of the reform movement concede that the task of raising achievement among disadvantaged students is hard work.
It's unlikely that we can build large-scale school reform on a platform of continual new demands on teachers-more time, more energy, more devotion, more responsibility-even if schools find ways to pay them better. This is the bigger challenge facing schools. We need a more useful answer to the Berkeley study than "Yeah, it's really hard work."

63. What do we learn about the students in the public school the author's niece taught?

C) Many of them enjoyed less parental care.
D) Many of them dropped out of school halfway.
64. What does the author say about her niece's work in the charter elementary school?
A) It won high praise from her school and colleagues.
B) It was cited by the Berkeley study as an example.
C) It contributed to the success of the school reform.
D) It was well received by the disadvantaged children.

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) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Like many of the protesters at Occupy Wall Street in New York. Amanda Vodola is young, underemployed and loaded with student debt. She spends her days running around, helping 67 the movement, and her evenings waiting tables at a restaurant in Brooklyn. Last spring, she graated from Fordham University 68 a degree in English. "I grew up with this narrative that to get a good job I need to go to school," she says. But the job she has "is not enough to pay the bills." And the bills she's 69 most about are the ones tied to that narrative: the $30000 she 70 in college loans.
In November, when their six-month grace period run 71 , Vodola and millions of other students who graated in May have to start 72 their loans. Repayment requirements for private loans kick in regardless of whether 73 have found jobs. Since employment rates for recent college graates have 74 in the past two years, as have starting salaries, the 75 of a sharp rise in student-loan delinquencies(到期未付)has led some economists to 76 that this could be the next financial crisis, rippling(波及)into the wider economy. Total US student-loan debt, which exceeded credit-card debt 77 the first time last year, is on track to 78 $1000 billion this year. That's a nearly 8% 79 over last year.
But neither these 80 nor the voices of students, 81 by debt, at protests in cities and on campuses 82 the nation are likely to keep the families of high school seniors 83 seeing a brand-name ecation as a 84 to a better life. They've long been told that higher ecation is an 85 in the future-even as the costs of college has 86 538% over the cet4v.com

答案解析：
36. interview
解析：不定式to後面加原形動詞。interview意為「對……進行面試」。
37. required
解析：此處是動詞的過去分詞作定語，修飾後面的名詞，不要漏寫結尾的ed。
38. place
解析：此處是名詞位於形容詞後，作表語。
39. retirements
解析：與前面的growth和後面的turnover屬於並列關系，此處也需要名詞，拼寫時記得最後還有個表復數形式的s。
40. openings
解析：由前面修飾的片語thousands of可知此處需復數名詞，opening表示「空缺」之義，不要漏寫結尾的s。
41. illustrate
解析：此處應採用一般現在時，由於主語是復數名詞，因此該詞是原形動詞。illustrate在此意為「說明」。拼寫時注意中間有兩個l。
42. correspond
解析：情態動詞may後面，應是原形動詞，該詞與with搭配。correspond with在此處意為「與……一致。」拼寫時注意中間有兩個r。
43. contact
解析：片語have to後面接原形動詞;根據上下文，該詞很可能表示聯絡之義。
44. 標准答案：Their salaries are usually petitive and the chances for advancement are even stronger than those of a big firm
聽音關鍵：salaries, petitive, chances for advancement, stronger than, big firm
答案重構：Their salaries are usually good and you will have stronger chances for advancement in these little panies
畫龍點睛：此句聽寫只要抓住兩層意思：小公司薪水也好而且晉升機會較大，按照聽到的關鍵詞把意思表達完整即可。
45. 標准答案：if you had climbed the more petitive ladder of a corporate giant
聽音關鍵：had climbed, more petitive ladder, corporate giant
答案重構：if you had climbed the more petitive ladder of a big pany
畫龍點睛：此句採用了虛擬語氣，故從句要用過去完成時。結尾的a corporate giant，可用意思類似的a big pany替換，單詞簡單，也避免拼錯。
46. 標准答案：In large firms it may take years to reach that level and accumulate similar experience
聽音關鍵：large firms, take years, reach that level, accumulate, similar experience
答案重構：In big panies, if you want to be in that position and get similar experience, you may spend years of time
畫龍點睛：原句是用it作形式主語，可根據句子含義，轉換一下主語，換一種表達。

22.
A. He is going to a business convention in town.
B. He is going to meet his clients.
C. He is going to deal with workplace accidents.
D. He is going to be interviewed for new employment.
答案解析：
Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Hi. How can we help you today?
M: Yeah. I'd like to get my hair trimmed a little. Nothing fancy. Just a basic trim.
W: Well, can we interest you in today's special?
M: Um... No...
W: [19]We'll shampoo, cut, and style your hair for one unbelievable low price of $9.99. Plus, we'll give you a clean shave and a back massage to help you relax. Best service in town!
M: Okay, [20]I'll have the plete service today, but as I said before, I just want to get my hair trimmed. A little off the top and sides. That's all. I mean, that's all.
W: No problem. Relax. [21]You're in good hands. Okay, here we go. So, what do you do for a living?
M: I'm a lawyer, specializing in workplace accidents, and [22]I'm in town for an interview for a new job, and... Hey, what happened to my hair? And what's left of my hair turned purple. Are you even a licensed beautician?
W: Well, sir. We offer a money-back guarantee on all our work, so if you're not pletely satisfied...
M: Satisfied? I'm anything but satisfied. [22]How in the world am I supposed to go to a job interview looking like this? Forget it. Forget it.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What is one service NOT included in the special price at the beauty salon?
正確答案：B
解析：女士說，當日的特別優惠是以9.99美元的價格享受洗、剪、吹，外加剃須、背部 *** 。A、C、D均有提及;只有B修指甲不在服務范圍內，故應選B。通讀選項，知道這篇對話與理發有關。本題選項涉及相關服務專案，解答時要注意對話中提到哪些專案，以做相應標記。此外，修指甲不屬於一般男士理發業務范圍，根據「主題原則」，與主題無關的即為答案，直接選B。
20. Why does the man repeatedly say "That's all"?
正確答案：C
解析：男士的原話是：「今天就來整套服務吧。不過，……我只想把頭發修一下。上面和兩邊都稍微修剪一點點就可以了……」這里的「That's all」表明男士不想要別的花樣，只需要自己想要的服務，故C正確。根據男士說的「Okay, I'll have the plete service today」，可排除A甚至D全套服務所需的長時間與quickly矛盾;B無依據。
21. What does the beautician mean by "You're in good hands"?
正確答案：C
解析：女士說：「沒問題，放鬆點，給你服務的是個好手。」所謂「好手」即是水平高的美容美發師，故C正確。本題問「You're in good hands」是什麼意思 。像這種「短語含義題」，絕不能選其單詞本義，由此可排除A;若頭發狀態良好，就不用來理發了，故B也可排除;D是利用原詞relax設定的干擾項。
22. Why does the customer go to this beauty salon to improve his appearance?
正確答案：D
解析：男士先說，他到城裡來面試一份新工作。隨後又抱怨，「我這個樣子怎麼去面試?」可見男士來美容院理發是為了參加面試，故D正確。四個選項均以「He is going to」開頭，差別在to後面的內容上。A、B未提到，可排除;男士說他是一個處理工傷事故的律師，C中的一般將來時態與對話內容不一致。

答案解析：
Passage Three
When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War, scientists feared an environmental disaster. [33]Would black powder and the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun? Many said "No way. Rain would wash the black powder from the atmosphere." But in America, air-sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles similar to those collected in Kuwait. Now that the fires are out, scientists are turning attention to yet another threat-the oil did not catch fire. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti deserts. They trap insects and birds and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants. [34]The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources. So far, the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface.
Nothing, however, stops the oil from evaporating. The resulting poisonous gases are choking nearby residents. [35]Officials are trying to organize a quick clean-up, but they are not sure how to do it. One possibility is to burn the oil. Get those black powder detectors ready.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What were the scientists worried about soon after the Gulf War?
正確答案：D
解析：題目詢問海灣戰爭結束之後不久，科學家們擔心什麼。關鍵是要聽到“大火產生的黑色粉末和煙會不會環繞全球並遮擋住太陽呢?”可知D為答案。符合短文聽力“聽到什麼選什麼”的原則。選項A、B、C的內容文中均未提及。
34. What was the good news for scientists?
正確答案：D
解析：題目詢問對於科學家們來說，好消息是什麼。關鍵是要聽到“唯一的好消息是，石油形成的湖泊尚未污染地下水資源。”D是原文的同義表達。A錯在oil;文中說石油毒死了許多沙漠動植物，故B不正確。文中說因為地層下面有堅硬的沙，迄今為止石油仍未被吸收;什麼都無法阻止石油的蒸發，故C不正確。
35. What are the officials trying to do at the moment?
正確答案：C
解析：題目詢問目前官員們正試圖做些什麼。關鍵是要聽到“官員們正試圖組織一次快速的清潔行動”，C是原文的同義表達。

答案解析：
Section B
Passage One
Paul, a salesman from London, was driving past a sports car parked outside a supermarket when he saw it start to roll slowly down the hill. Inside the car were two young girls on the passenger seat but no driver. Paul stopped quickly, jumped in front of the sports car and tried to stop it-pushing against the front of the car. Another man, who was standing nearby, got into the car and put on the hand brake, [29]saving the girls from injury. It was at this point that [26]Paul noticed his own car rolling slowly down the hill and going too fast for him to stop it. It crashed into a bus at the bottom of the hill and was so badly damaged that it had to be pulled away to a garage. As if this was not bad enough, [28]Paul now found he had no one to blame. He was so busy chasing his car that he did not get the name of the driver of the sports car [27]who just came out of the supermarket and drove away without realizing what had happened.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Which car was badly damaged?
正確答案：C
解析：題目詢問哪輛車受到了嚴重損壞。關鍵是聽到“Paul看到自己的車慢慢滑下了山……，在山腳下與一輛公交車相撞，損壞得非常嚴重……。”符合短文聽力“聽到什麼選什麼”的原則。選項A、D中提到的車是Paul挽救的;文中沒有提到選項B的內容。
27. Where was the driver of the sports car when the accident happened?
正確答案：D
解析：關鍵是聽懂文章最後一句，其中提到“跑車司機剛走出超市”，說明事故發生時，那個司機在超市裡。故答案為D。文中說跑車裡面沒有司機，所以A不正確;在山腳下的是一輛公交車，不是跑車司機，所以B不正確;文中提到Paul的車受損嚴重，要拖去garage，故選項C與問題無關。
28. Who did Paul think was to blame for the accident?
正確答案：A
解析：題目詢問Paul認為這場事故的發生是誰的錯。關鍵是聽到文章最後所述：“Paul現在發現沒人可責備，他忙著追自己的車，以至於沒能得到跑車司機的名字，而那個司機根本不知道發生了什麼事，揚長而去了。”Paul去挽救跑車，才導致自己的車嚴重損壞，因此事故責任在跑車司機，即A。文章中沒有提到車里的兩個女孩做了些什麼，因而與事故的發生無關，B不正確;C中提到的男士挽救了跑車和車里的人，不是導致事故的人;選項D所指的人即Paul。
29. Who was injured in the accident?
正確答案：A
解析：題目詢問誰在事故中受了傷。全文沒有提到任何人受傷，即A。文中與兩個女孩有關的原話是“另一個站在附近的人上了跑車，拉下手剎，使兩個女孩免於受傷”，所以B不正確。
