Directions:In this part, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.  Wine can be made with red grapes or white grapes, and, especially in the case of red wines, a number of medical researchers have reported that a moderate amount of wine has certain health benefits. This may be one of the reasons why the number of people drinking wine has risen over the past years. As new wine shoppers browse the shelves of their local markets, they face a tough decision. Should they buy a wine with a cork or a screw top? And shoppers are not alone in their dilemma. Wineries are also facing tough choices in the best way to seal their products.  The root of the problem lies in “cork taint.” Cork taint refers to a problem with wine that has been sealed with a bad cork. Traditionally, all corks are made from a special oak tree that grows around the Mediterranean. In the process of making the corks and sealing wine bottles, a certain type of mold may start to grow on some corks. Over time, this mold can produce a chemical that makes the wine inside the bottle taste musty. In fact, the human tongue is so sensitive to this particular compound that people can taste it even diluted up to six parts per trillion!  How big is the problem of cork taint? Some experts from the wine industry claim cork taint affects one out of every ten bottles of wine. And as one spokesperson for an American winery says, “No other packaging industry in the world would put up with that kind of failure rate.”  Some wine makers see a possible solution to the problem of cork taint through adopting the tried and true method of sealing bottles with screw tops. However, many wineries are still playing it safe and sticking to corks for two reasons. First, there is the old belief among cork users that small amounts of oxygen are able to penetrate corks. This oxygen, they say, is necessary for the proper aging of fine wines, especially those aged 10 years or more. Screw tops do not allow for any oxygen to get into the bottles after they are sealed.  Another problem arises from the image screw tops have with the public. In most people’s minds, screw tops are only found on cheap, low-quality wines. It will take a lot of effort from wineries to re-educate the public if they want to change the image of screw tops. In addition, there is the problem of losing the romantic, elegant mood produced by the ceremonial popping of the cork. Consumers don’t seem to feel the same thrill when unscrewing a top.  Summary:  The wine industry is facing a dilemma. What is the best way to  1 wine bottles? Many people think that it is only  2 for wine bottles to be sealed with corks. They think that oxygen needs to be able to penetrate the cork. Other experts, however, suggest that wineries change to  3 . Using corks can lead to cork taint, a bad taste in the wine caused by  4 . However, it is unlikely that the public will accept this solution. They will most likely  5 buying wine with corks for the romantic image.

Your response will be scored on the quality and variety of your sentences, vocabulary, and organization.Practice 1Directions: Read the e-mail below.Directions: Respond to the e-mail as if you are Ms. Chilton. In your e-mail, make THREE suggestions for lunch menu options.

    正确答案: (1)
    Mark,
    Yes, I agree with you. It is important to try and oblige Mr. Sanders.
    My first advice is to have Taj Mahal catere the banquet. The reason is that they can provide a wide selection of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices. But they are a bit expensive.
    The second option is Willie’s Dell. They deliver dell and delicious sandwiches, which can be customized according to buyer’s order. Their menu is both quite extensive and cheap.
    Finally, you might try The Soup Pot. They have really tasty soups. which are amazingly filling, and they get a wide variety of flavors.
    If you need the contact information of any of these, please let me know.
    Karen
    解 析:该答案完整地回答了提示(Directions)中要求的事项(三种午餐菜单建议)。文中使用了My first advice is… →The second… →Finally…句型依次写下了三种建议,使整篇文章连贯、有条不紊。
    (2)
    Mark,
    I think we can help Mr. Sanders with his vegetarian preferences, in respect that he is a very important client.
    First of all, a new restaurant called All Natural just opened for business. I recommend it because it has a strictly vegetarian menu. They offer appetizers, entrees and dessert. It is worth noting they have wonderful sandwiches. It might be limiting though, to offer only a vegetarian option.
    And secondly, a Mexican restaurant might actually be good. I know it is not a typical dish considered for vegetarian fare, but you can order some maigre salads, tacos or burritos.
    Finally, if you think the choice above is too casual, maybe we could also try Mabel’s. They provide a variety of vegetable dishes and their food is delicious as well. But the problem is that I am not sure if they would deliver.
    I hope the suggestions would help.
    Karen
    解 析:解答本题时,要把自己假定成回信的当事人,根据提出的要求有条理地进行写作,这一点十分重要。该答案的特点是在各项建议之间加上了It might be limiting…,If it is too casual…等句子作为过渡,使得文章整体流畅自然。
    (3)
    Mark,
    There are several vegetarian options you can choose from. The Golden Ladle on Pike Street offers vegetarian meals, such as baked eggplant lasagna and squash casserole. I was told that they accept take-out orders, because they do not deliver.
    You can get a couple of options from the Vietnamese restaurant, too. They have some meatless food, like fried noodle dishes, and also some other delicious soups and exquisite side dishes.
    My another suggestion is to order from the good caterer or restaurant which you employed before, ask them to make a meatless meal. You can just request a vegetable dish take the place of a meat meal. And this might be the simplest way if you have already arranged a caterer.
    Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

    A

    It brings inconveniences to one’s career.

    C

    正确答案: C

    Passage One

    Wild and farm birds often get a flu virus. Yet they usually are able to carry the virus without getting sick.

    In 1997 six people in Hong Kong died of a different kind of bird flu virus. It is called the h-five-n-one virus. The Hong Kong government quickly ordered the killing of all farm birds there. That stopped the spread of h-five-n-one to people in Hong Kong.

    Yet the virus bad already spread to other parts of Asia. It was found in 16 countries between 2003 and 2006.

    The h-five-n-one virus first appeared in Africa. This raised many concerns about the spread of the disease. Scientists do not know exactly how bird flu came to Africa. At first, they thought wild birds were to blame. Now, officials with the U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization believe the main cause is trade in farm birds.

    The bird flu virus is found in the waste and liquids of infected birds. The virus spreads when healthy birds or people touch sick birds or nay infected (被感染了的) part of sick birds. Right now, the virus is not spreading among person to person. But the virus could change and start spreading among people. Health officials believe that it is even more possible now that bird flu has spread in Africa, and that is why international organizations are working so hard to stop its spread.

    The best way to stop the spread of bird flu is to kill all the chickens in an area where bird flu has been discovered. More than 145 000 chickens have been killed in Nigeria since bird fin was first found one year ago.

    Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

    Passage One

    There was a nasty (肮脏的,卑鄙的) accident in our town not long ago, and I saw it happen. I was standing near a road which was under repair, not doing anything special—just watching the men at work. It was not far from the new motorway (高速公路) that runs past the town. It was an old road that used to be very busy—and dangerous before the motorway was built. Today, most cars use the new "superhighway" and the old road is pretty quiet, although cars do often come off the motorway into the town faster than they should.

    Anyway, the men were repairing part of the road and there were signs up for at least 200 meters, telling everybody that the road was narrower than usual. Most of the drivers in both directions saw the signs and slowed down.

    Then three cars came along close together, the third one moving at a very high speed. The first one pas sed the workmen and wanted to turn left. Meanwhile the third car came flying past the second one. The sec and car stopped. I think the driver knew something was going to happen. It did. The third car had no chance of stopping. Its driver braked (刹车) and pulled over to miss the first car and went right off the road.

    There were four people in that car: a man, two women and a child. The child was a boy of nine. I read later that they were going shopping—just shopping, nothing more important than that. The driver was badly hurt. The little bay was hurt too. Both the women were killed immediately. One of them was the driver's wife and the other was the mother of the little boy. They never got to the shops.

    36. The old road ______.

    A. was very busy though there was a new motorway

    B. was never very busy

    C. was always very busy and dangerous

    D. was very busy and dangerous before the construction of the new motorway

It is necessary for college students to go outside to get to know the world. They should acquire knowledge not only from books but also from the society. Thus they can adapt to society more quickly after they graduate from school. Science and technology are developing rapidly with each passing day. Most students can keep themselves informed by watching TV, listening to the radio, reading newspapers and using computers. It’s also good to take a part-time job, such as tutoring, or working in a restaurant. Any of these methods will enable students to get in touch with society.

    Directions: For this part,you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic:Reading Selectively Or Extensively? You should write 140 words.

    正确答案:
    Reading Selectively or Extensively? Some think that when we read we should read selectively. That is to say, we should select some books we are interested in and ignore others. Reading selectively can help us concentrate our limited time and attention on those selected books.
    Some others think when we read we should read extensively. That is to say, no matter what kind of book it is, we should read it through. Reading extensively can help us enlarge our view and grasp the general knowledge from different fields.
    In my opinion, the two reading methods have their roles respectively in our reading. However, their own disadvantages are easy to see. If we only read selectively, the framework of our knowledge may not be complete. If we read extensively, we may not have so much time and energy to specialize in one particular field. Therefore, the combination of the two methods is more reasonable.

    Harmfulness of Fake Commodities Nowadays there are growing concern among general public about the issue of enormous fake commodities. When you go to the supermarket, you may buy some fake food commodities. When you go to the pharmacist’s, you may buy some fake medicine. So fake commodities have disturbed our everyday life.
    The deep root of this phenomenon lies in someone’s greed for money. In order to get a large amount of money in a short time, they try every means to produce fake commodities, without any regard for other people’s benefit and health.
    Fake commodities can do great harm to both consumers and society. For example, when a person bought fake medicine, it was useless in curing, his disease and really a waste of money. Sometimes fake medicine can even cause death. Fake commodities are usually sold at a lower price. It causes unfair competition in the market economy and puts the whole society in disorder.
