第1题：
It can be learned from Paragraph 4 that _____.
［A］ most ministers were suspicious of Hoon’s conduct
［B］ Hoon will not do anything without consulting Blair
［C］ Blair should not divert his responsibility to his Cabinet
［D］ MPs think that it is Blair who drags the country into the war
正确答案：B本题考查事实细节。第四段第三、四句提到，胡恩先生不是一个胆敢不先与唐宁街协商就独自作决定的部长，无论何时他总是合着唐宁街的拍子跳舞。唐宁街是首相的官邸所在，这里指代“英国首相，英国政府”。因此可知［B］正确。该段倒数第二句提到，持很大怀疑态度的部长们组成的内阁支持着布莱尔，［A］将“布莱尔”换成了“胡恩”。该段倒数第二句也提到作者认为是布莱尔使国家卷入战争，［D］将作者的观点转嫁到国会议员们身上，因此错误。［C］文中未提。

第2题：
Disraeli was as sparkling a letter-writer as he was a novelist. His letters show that his capacity to observed was matched only by his ability to describe, and they are excited by his over-developed sense of self-dramatization as well as by his enduring sense of the greatness of his own destiny. He skims through these pages like some gorgeous bird of paradise, spreading his multi-colored feathers and never pausing long enough to become boring.
As early as 1830, when only 26, he is found advising Benjamin Austin to carefully conserve his letters for posterity. Fortunately Austin and others followed his advicA.

What treasures there lie in store! We leave him 1837 with his longed-for election to Parliament, but ahead come into view the high peaks of his career with the twin mountains of his two premierships and his friendship with the Queen.

Mark Twain is one of America′s much-beloved authors,creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike,such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,The Prince and The Pauper,and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn．Twain passed away in 1910,leaving behind a treasure of great literature．But now,100 years after his death,he′11 have a brand-new book on the shelves:a three-volume autobiography．
Twain hasn′t been keeping busy in his tomb:it was his wish that publishers wait until 100 years after his death to publish his memoirs(自传),which he spent the last decade of his life working on．
The autobiography totals more than 5,000 pages,and likely won′t be all sunshine and roses．It?seems that Twain harbored some bitterness against former girlfriends and ex-friends．He also writes?negatively about politicians of his day,such as Teddy Roosevelt．It′s likely that he requested such?a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn′t want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in?this work．
Although small sections of the memoirs have been previously published,the autobiography has?never been available in full,and should provide great insights into the man behind the classic?books．The first volume of the set will be available in November,and the trilogy is being published?by the University of California,Berkeley．
“There are so many biographies of Twain,and many of them have used bits and pieces of the?autobiography,”editor Robert Hirst told The Independent．“But biographers pick and choose what?bits to quote．By publishing Twain′s book in full,we hope that people will be able to come to their?own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was．"
According to Paragraph 1,which of the following statements is TRUE of Mark Twain?《》（）A.He left behind lots of money．
B.His works were written for children．
C.His works are full of adventures．
D.He is famous for his great works．答案：D解析：【考情点拨】推理判断题。

Man of Few Words
Everyone chases success,but not all of us want to be famous.
South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee is _______(51)for keeping to himself. When the 63-
year-old man was named the 2003 Nobel Prize winner for literature,reporters were warned that they would
find him"particularly difficult to_________(52)".
Coetzee lives in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the, University of Chicago.He seemed
_________(53)by the news that he won the US $1.3 million prize.
"It came as a complete surprise.I wasn't even aware they were due to make the announcement,"he
said. His_________(54)of privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend prize-giving in Stockholm,
Sweden,on December 10.But despite being described as_______(55)to track down,the critics agree that
his writing is easy to get to know.
Born in Cape Town,South Africa,to an English-speakingfamily,Coetzee_______(56)his break-
through in 1980 with the novel"Waiting for the Barbarians".He__________(57)hisplace among the
world's leading writers with two Booker prize victories,Britain's highest honour for novels.He first
_______(58)in 1983 for the Life and Times of Michael K and his second title came in 1999 for Disgrace.
A major theme in his work is South Africa's former apartheid system,which divided whites from blacks.
_______(59)with the problems of violence,crime and racial division that still exist in the country,his
books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid_________(60)within.
"I have always been more interested in the past than the future,"he said in a rare interview.
"The past________(61)its shadow over the present.I hope I have made one or two people think
_______(62)about whether they want to forget the past completely."In fact this purity in his writing
seems to be_________(63)in his personal life.Coetzee is a vegetarian,a cyclist rather than a motorist and
he doesn't drink alcohol.But what he has________(64)to literature,culture and the people of South Africa is far greater than the things he has given up."In looking at weakness and failure in life,"the Nobel
prize judging panel said,"Coetzee's work_________(65)the divine spark in man."_________(61)
A:covers
B:puts
C:spreads
D:casts答案：D解析：be well-known for keeping to himself是“以与世隔绝为大家所熟知”的意思，符合文章意思。
come across , run into , bump mnt。在语义上都有某种“偶然性”，这是主语所指的人无法控制的，不符合句义，因而这种搭配在语义上是错误的。particularly difficult to catch的意思是“特别难找到他，”符合句意。
寻找正确的答案，常常需要借助上下文提供的信息。上下文常常可以帮助我们做出正确的判断。紧随其后的句子是“It came as a complete surprise."（这个奖来得很突然）。 "shock”跟“surprise”意思很接近，因而“shocked”是正确的答案。
like作“喜欢”解时是动词，而此处需要的是一个名词。devote是“奉献”的意思，是动词；attract是“吸引”的意思，是动词。因此“love”是正确答案。
despite引导的是一种反向对比，主句中有easy，那么它的反义词就是difficult。
make a breakthrough等于break through，是固定搭配。
to take one' s place这里是“占据一席之地，跻身于”的意思，这是固定的说法。
这个句子里没有宾语，因此需要一个不及物动词，在这四个动词中，只有“won”既可作及物动词，又可作不及物动词。其他三个词均为及物动词，所以C为最佳答案。
除了（leal外，handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。
整个句子说的是：在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题时，他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离制度。“从······角度”常用from。
cast its shadow是“使不快；（在心理一上）投下阴影”的意思，是固定的说法。
think twice是“再三考虑，慎重思考”的意思，这是固定的说法。
从紧随其后的句子来看，应填入“mirrored”。这两个句子说的是：事实上，Coetzee作品中的这种纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是一个吃素食的人，他骑车而不开车，并且他也不喝酒。
从下文“far greater than the thing he has given up（比他放弃的东西要多得多）”来看，应选择contributed。全句说的是：但是，他对文学、文化、南非人民所作出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。
tell告诉；say说；inform通知；express表达。结合文意，应选D。 -

第12题：
单选题It has been suggested that part of Hemingway’s genius lies in the way in which he removes himself from his stories in order to let readers experience the stories for themselves. Which of the following elements of the passage support this suggestion? Ⅰ. The comparison of “designer’s initials” to the man who fell and lay in the gutter (the last paragraph) during the running of bulls Ⅱ. Hemingway’s stated intent to project for the reader “he way it was” (the second paragraph) III. Hemingway’s ability to invent fascinating tales from his own experienceAI only
BⅡ only
CI and Ⅱ only
DI and III only
正确答案： A解析：
最后一段的“as inconspicuous as possible”说明“the man in the gutter”是完全不引人注目的，而作者本身就如同这个角色一样，将自己置身度外，让读者自己体会。因此Ⅰ是正确的。当作者将故事如同故事本身所发上的那样呈现在读者眼前时，作者本身也就脱离故事了，因此Ⅱ也是正确的。 -
