　　A．who will win do you think

　　B．whom do you think will win

　　C．do you think whom will win

　　11．Some youngsters know what to ________ at the university. They have made up their minds about their future.

　　A．take in

　　B．take up

　　C．take off

　　D．take over

　　答案：B　句意：一些年轻人知道大学要学什么，他们已经下定决定为将来做准备。take up“从事；开始(工作、兴趣等)”，符合题意。take in“吸收；欺骗”；take off“起飞；脱掉”；take over“接管”。

　　12．How disappointing! They have finished ________ 5% of the work.

　　A．no more than

　　B．no less than

　　C．more than

　　A．out of sight

　　B．out of date

　　C．out of reach

　　D．out of memory

　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Three engineers and three accountants (会计) are traveling by train to a conference. At the station, the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.

　　“How are three people going to travel on only one ticket？” asks an accountant. “Watch and you'll see，” answers an engineer. They all board the train. The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.

　　Shortly after the train has departed,_the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, “Ticket, please.” The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.

　　The accountants see this and agree it is quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.

　　To their astonishment，the engineers don't buy a ticket at all. How are you going to travel without a ticket？asks one puzzled accountant. “Watch and you'll see，”answers an engineer. When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs.

　　Shortly afterward，one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, “Ticket, please.”

　　1. The three engineers buy only a single ticket because ________.

　　A. only one of them need buy a ticket

　　B. the three accountants buy tickets for them

　　C. they just want to save money

　　D. they are too poor to buy more tickets

　　答案：C　细节理解题。由第四段第二句中的save some money可知，这三个工程师只买一张火车票也是为了省钱。

　　2. The underlined word “departed” in the third paragraph means ________.

　　A. started out B. separated

　　C. stopped

　　D. arrived

　　答案：A　词义猜测题。结合故事情节的发展及本段中的“the conductor comes around collecting tickets”可推知，这里指火车“开动”了。

　　3. Which one of the following is TRUE according to this passage?

　　A. Only one engineer is in the restroom when the

　　conductor collects the ticket.

　　B. At first the three accountants know why the

　　three engineers buy one ticket.

　　C. On the return trip the three accountants buythree tickets again.

　　D. On the return trip the three engineers don't buy any ticket.

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据第五段第一句可知，返程时三个工程师一张票也没买。

　　4．We can infer from the passage that ________.

　　A. the accountants are not as clever as the engineers

　　B. the accountants are cleverer than the engineers

　　C. the engineers are not as clever as the accountants

　　D. the engineers are as clever as the accountants

　　答案：A　推理判断题。根据两次买票的情况，一方面我们觉得这个故事幽默有趣，另一方面工程师确实比会计师在逃票方面技高一筹。

　　B

　　Cars and airplanes changed life in the 20th century. New changes in transportation are going to make life very different in the 21st century，too. Trains and planes will be faster and more comfortable. Planes will also be bigger.

　　NEW AIRPLANES

　　Today the biggest planes carry about 400 passengers. Soon airlines will build larger planes. These new large planes

　　will carry 600～800 passengers. Now high-speed planes travel from London to New York in 3 hours. They carry only 100 passengers. New high-speed planes will be bigger and faster. They will fly from London to New York in only 1.5 hours and they will carry 300 people. A ticket on these fast planes will be very expensive. So most people will not take them.

　　HIGH-SPEED TRAINS

　　Many

　　people

　　will

　　take

　　new, high-speed trains instead of planes. Today most trains can go 80 miles per hour (130km/h). Japan's bullet train can go 150 mph (240 kin/h). The most watched Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed intercity (城市间的) railway opened on July 1, which

　　is

　　covering

　　301

　　km

　　from

　　Shanghai Hongqiao to Nanjing. The train runs at 300 to 350 km per hour. New high-speed trains will go more than 300 mph (480 km/h) twice faster than the bullet train. Germany, Switzerland and Japan will be the first countries to use these new high-speed trains. Other countries plan to have the new train, too. In the future, the trains we have today may not be used at all.

　　5．Planes will travel

　　________ faster in the future than now.

　　A. half

　　B. twice

　　C. three times

　　D. four times

　　答案：B　细节理解题。由第二段第四句与第六、第七句可知答案。

　　6．The reason why fewer people will take the fast planes is

　　that ________.

　　A. they are not safe

　　B. people will have their own planes

　　C. the service on the planes is not satisfactory

　　D. people will spend much if they take such planes

　　答案：D　由第二段最后一句与第三段第一句可知答案。

　　7．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?

　　A. Japan's bullet train is the fastest train in the world.

　　B. The Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed train runs faster than Japan's bullet train.

　　C. Trains will become smaller in the future.

　　D. Trains will run faster than planes.

　　答案：B　由第三段第三句与第六句可知选B。

　　8．Which of the following words can't be used to describe the future trains and planes?

　　A. Fast.

　　B. Comfortable.

　　C. Big.

　　D. Cheap.

　　答案：D　由第二段最后与第三段最后可知两者的共同点就是票价会更便宜。

　　9．What's the passage mainly about?

　　A. Predictions about the future trains and planes.

　　B. Planes which will be faster and more comfortable than trains.
