回答 68 ~ 71 题： D Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city.It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage（遗产）Site.
I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey.Blanketed in mist（薄雾），Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming.When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe.It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history.
As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries（美术馆）than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England． However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world.Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events． Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder.
As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world． When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub（酒馆）. It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.
Being a World Heritage Site , my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value.It is a treasure nouse with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.

A． its charming banks
B． its famous museums
C． its wonderful palaces
D． its attractive buildings

根据下面资料，回答
Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries, the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
In a residential area, you can see ____________.A.rows of houses, schools and shops
B.many offices and factories
C.a lot of factories and farms
D.many houses with offices and factories答案：A解析：细节题。由第二段最后两句“There is usually a residential area nearby，where the factory workers can live．The families of these workers need schools，hospitals and shops，so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows”可知答案为A。 -

A:square
B: division
C:centers
D:section答案：D解析：come into being为固定搭配，意思是“形成、产生”，例如：When did the Great Britain come into being?英国是何时形成的？原文是“美丽城市”的理念应运而生，因此选C。
根据上下文判断，随着美丽城市理念的诞生，人们开始意识到城市需要被规划。come有“开始”的意思。所以此处选C最合适，其他各项均不合题意。fail失败, incline 和tend都有“倾向于”的意思。
根据词语的搭配可以知道，原文应该指的是“城市开始通过城市区划法”，三个选项中只有选项A最合适，pass有“通过”的意思，和law“法律”搭配使用正确。
空缺处需要填的是过去分词引导的定语从句，省略了which be。这里指的是被划分出来建公寓的地区不能盖工厂，zone更合适，意思是“将……划为特殊区域”。
however表示一种转折的关系。本句意思为“工厂不能建在用于盖公寓的土地上。然而，公窝也不能盖在建造大宅的土地上”。所以选项D符合。
根据前半部分即城市在快速地发展，可以判断出城市的变化也是很迅速的，选项D正确，意为“突然，很快”，与前面的rapidly呼应。
traffic jam意思是“交通堵塞”，较之选项B，选项A更符合常理，即城市里的街道会造成交通堵塞。
本句提到了老地区变得破败不堪，人们应该是搬出旧城区，搬进新的城市地区，所以选择C，后面接的介词to指“搬到……”。
只有form最适合和后面的group搭配使用。form意为“组成”，例如：The two parties formed a coalition．两个政党组成了联合政府。本句意思是“市民们组成了试图解决城市面临的问题的团体”。
三个选项中只有as适合，意思是“作为”。句子意思是“大多数的大城市都有了作为城市政府一部分的城市规划委员会”。
逻辑题。on the board意思是“委员会里”。前面提到大多数城市都有了 city planning board即“城市规划委员会”，那么委员会里必然有城市规划师，所以A正确。
degree意思是“学历”，后面常接介词in指在某专业方面的学历，原句中还有信号词college,所以选项degree最合适。level水平，qualification资质，height高度。
best这里是副词，意思是“最好地，最高标准地”，比较carefully （小心地）, suitably（合适地）以及cleverly（聪明地），选项B更为合适。原句意思是“这些城市规划师必须知道如何才能以最好的方式使用城市里的土地”。
lay out为固定搭配，意思是“规划，设计”。例如：When the local governments lay out the car parks, they must estimate the numbers of cars in these districts．当地方政府规划停车场时，他们必须先估计市区里的汽车数量。原文是“他们规划城市的新地区”。
这里的意思是“他们……决定如何来提升一个老城区”。section除了有 “部分”的意思外还指“（城市等的）地区，（街区等的）地段”。square意为“广场”,division意为“部分”,centers意为“中心”。 -

第9题：
问答题Oxford When language learners arrive in Oxford, many ask where the university is, thinking that they will be shown just one building. It’s up to their teachers to explain that Oxford university is made up of a collection of many different colleges and institutions, each with its own history and characteristics. There are many other surprises that learners discover about the city and its university. Katie Jennings is a social organizer at King’s St Joseph’s Hall in East Oxford, and it is her job to organize activities for learners outside of lesson time. She says many learners are surprised to discover that Oxford is a home to a wide variety of nationalities and ethnic groups, and one of the most popular social events is a night out at one of the town’s Latin American dance clubs. After a day spent learning English and absorbing the ancient atmosphere of the university, learners can samba the night away. The city also has a thriving Asian community, and the sight of women in saris is as common in Oxford’s streets as academics in gowns and mortarboards. There is also a mouth-watering selection of Asian restaurants serving curries, as well as shops stocked with exotic vegetables and fruits. The city has attracted such a diverse population not only because of the university, but also because it is an important industrial centre which is known for car manufacturing among other things. In spite of large industrial areas, the old of the city centre has remained surprisingly intact. Carmel Engin, who teaches at the Lake School, says many learners are surprised to find that the city is free from the usual high-rise modern buildings. “From the centre of Oxford, you can see green hills in the distance, and this will make learners deeply feel that they are in a small, friendly town, but not just another modern metropolis.” Some learners will be tempted to explore those green hills—Oxford is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in southern England—but, as Engin admits, with so much to do and see in the city, few learners find the time, to explore its surroundings.正确答案： 【参考译文】
牛津 许多初到牛津城的语言学习者会问牛津大学在哪里。他们以为他们将要看到的仅仅是一幢建筑。老师需要向他们解释,牛津大学是由许多不同的学院和学部组成的,每个学院和学部都有各自的历史和特色。
学生们还会发现这个城市和其中的大学还有许多别的惊奇之处。凯蒂·珍妮丝是东牛津皇家圣约瑟夫学院的社会活动组织者。她的工作就是为学生们组织课外活动。她说许多学生都惊奇地发现牛津竟然聚集了许多不同国籍和种族的人。那儿最流行的一项社交活动就是在城里找一家拉美舞蹈俱乐部泡上一晚。白天学习英文,领略着这所大学古老的氛围,到了晚上便可以跳跳桑巴轻松一下。
牛津城里还有一个生气勃勃的亚洲侨民团体。在牛津街头,穿着印度纱丽的女子和身穿长袍头戴学位帽的学者一样随处可见。还有很多供应咖喱食品的亚洲餐馆可供选择,真是令人垂涎欲滴。当然还有许多商店出售国外的蔬菜水果。
这个城市之所以吸引了众多不同背景的人,不仅是因为牛津大学的名望,还因为它是重要的工业中心,其中以汽车工业最负盛名。然而令人惊奇的是,尽管牛津有大片的工业区,但城中心古朴的风格却丝毫未遭破坏。
雷克学院的教师卡莫尔·恩金说许多学生都惊异地发现牛津城里根本看不到城市中常见的现代化高楼。“从牛津城中心你可以望见远处郁郁葱葱的山丘。这使人们感到自己身处的是一座友善的小镇而非仅仅是又一座现代化的大都市。”
有些人会忍不住想到山上去探个究竟——牛津的四周围绕着英格兰南部最美的一些乡村——然而正如恩金所言,城里有这么多东西要看,这么多事情要做,几乎没有谁能腾出时间到四郊去做个发现之旅。解析： 暂无解析 -

单选题请阅读 Passage 1，完成第 21~25小题。Passage 1These days，many large city buildings are equipped with their own air-conditioning systems.These systems help keep the buildings cool，but they can also damage the environment.Since they use a lot of electricity，for instance，they contribute indirectly to global warming.In addition，the water that flows through the systems is often cooled using chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons，or CFCs，that are believed to damage the Earth's ozone layer.Recently，though，a system has been built in the city of Toronto，Canada，that cools buildings with little damage to the environment. In the traditional air-conditioning systems found in most large buildings，water is pumped through the building in a continuous cycle.The water is first cooled to a temperature of 4℃ in machines called chillers.It is then sent to individual units that cool the air in each room.As the water flows through the building，it gradually becomes warmer.Finally，it reaches the roof ，where it is left to cool down naturally in a water tower.After that it is returned to the chillers，where the cycle begins again.Toronto lies on the shore of Lake Ontario，one of North America's Great Lakes，and the new system makes use of cold water taken from about 80 meters below the surface of the lake.At this depth，the water in the lake remains at 4℃ all year round.This is exactly the temperature to which the water in air-conditioning systems is cooled.However，the water from the lake is not pumped directly into the air-conditioning systems.Instead，it is used to cool the water that is already inside the air-conditioning systems.After that，the lake water is added to the city's ordinary water supply.Enwave，the company that developed this deep-lake cooling system，says that it uses 75 percent less energy than traditional air conditioning.And since no CFCs are used，no damage can be caused to the ozone layer.Not every city is located next to a large lake，but experts believe that systems like the one being used in Toronto could be built elsewhere by using other natural sources of cold water.What is one problem with traditional air-conditioning systems?AThe chemicals they use sometimes pollute the water supply.
BThey often damage the buildings that they are trying to cool.
CThere are not enough CFCs in the world to cool all the buildings.
DThe method they use to cool water is thought to harm the ozone layer.

第13题：
Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?” Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.
1.Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.
A、 America is a highly developed country
B、 American city people seem to be always in a rush
C、 the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble
D、 Americans are impatient and unfriendly people
2.When the author says “You will miss smile”, he means ___________.
A、 you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happy
B、 you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at you
C、 you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendly
D、 you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor
3.In the author’s opinion, ___________.
A、 it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other city
B、 people living outside big cities are lazy and miserable
C、 most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big cities
D、 those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly
4.The life pace in cities is much ___________ than the one outside cities.
A、 faster
B、 slower
C、 happier
D、 sadder
5.If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably he will _________.
A、 offer his help
B、 stop smiling at you
C、 help you find the way

问答题Read the passage carefully and answer Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Preserving the Past Today, many old buildings are being torn down so new ones can be built. But some older buildings are both beautiful and interesting. They need to be saved. The city of San Antonio, Texas, was settled by the Spanish in the early 1700s. Later, it was governed by Mexico. If you go to San Antonio, you can see many missions or churches that were built by the Spanish. All were started between 1720 and 1731. You can also find other buildings from early periods in the history of Texas. Some of these buildings are still standing because a group of women worked to save them. In 1924, the city of San Antonio was going to cement over the San Antonio River and turn it into an underground sewer. A group of women felt that the beauty of San Antonio should be preserved. They formed a club to keep the river from being destroyed. The women saved the river. Then they worked together to preserve several old buildings that were going to be torn down. In the 1930s, the women saved an old mill and granary. They raised money to buy these buildings by giving tea parties and selling cakes. More recently, the ladies in San Antonio have worked to save a Spanish convent. They could not afford to buy the whole building, so they paid for only half. Even so, the women are still looking for other old buildings to save. They want people to know about the city’s long and interesting history. Questions: 1．What is the passage mainly about? 2．What does the word “ones” in Sentence 1 refer to? 3．What can you see if you go to San Antonio? 4．The word in Paragraph 3 that means savedis ________. 5．Why have the women worked to save the river and old buildings?正确答案：
