第5题：
Text 4A writer said yesterday that Richard M. Scrushy, the former chief executive of HealthSouth, paid her through a public relations firm to produce several favorable articles for an Alabama newspaper that he reviewed before publication during his fraud trial last year.
The articles appeared in The Birmingham Times, a black-owned weekly in Birmingham, Ala. Mr. Scrushy was acquitted in June in a six-month trial there on all 36 counts against him, despite testimony from former HealthSouth executives who said he presided over a huge accounting fraud. "I sat in that courtroom for six months, and I did every thing possible to advocate for his cause," Audrey Lewis, the author of the articles, said in a telephone interview. She said she received $10,000 from Mr. Scrushy through the Lewis Group, a public relations firm, and another $1,000 to help buy a computer. "Scrushy promised me a lot more than what I got," she said.
Charles A. Russell, a spokesman for Mr. Scrushy, said he was not aware of an explicit agreement for the Lewis Group to pay Ms. Lewis. The payments to Ms. Lewis were first reported by The Associated Press yesterday. "There's nothing there I think Richard would have any part of," Mr. Russell said.
Mr. Russell said that Mr. Scrushy reviewed the articles before they were published. "Richard thought she was doing a little, 'F.Y.I., here's what I'm writing,' " Mr. Russell said. Ms. Lewis said that Mr. Russell, a prominent Denver-based crisis communications consultant, was also involved in providing her with financial compensation. She said Mr. Russell wrote her a $2,500 personal check at the end of May 2005; Mr. Russell said that was true. "She was looking for freelance community-relations work after the trial," Mr. Russell said.
Ms. Lewis came into Mr. Scrushy's sphere through Believers Temple Church; she attends services and works as an administrator there. She and Rev. Herman Henderson, the pastor, were part of a group that appeared in court with Mr. Scrushy and often prayed with him during breaks. Before and during the trial, in which 11 of the 18 jurors were black, Mr. Scrushy, who is white, forged ties with Birmingham's African-American population. He joined a predominantly black church, and his foundation donated to it and other black congregations.
Mr. Henderson also said he received payments from Mr. Scrushy in exchange for building support for him among blacks. Mr. Scrushy said in a statement yesterday that his foundation donated money to Mr. Henderson's church, but said the payments were unrelated to his case. "My foundation donated to his church building fund and to a Katrina relief effort that his church sponsored," Mr. Scrushy said. "That's it. Period."
Ms. Lewis, 31, said she was disclosing details about the financial arrangement because Mr. Scrushy still owes her and Mr. Henderson a significant amount of money. Ms. Lewis provided copies of a retainer agreement that Mr. Scrushy signed last April with the Lewis Group, a public relations firm controlled by Jesse J. Lewis Sr., 82 the founder of The Birmingham Times, and a check issued to her in May from the Lewis Group. (Ms Lewis and Mr. Lewis are not related.)
第36题：The word \\\"acquitted\\\" (Line 2, Para. 2) probably means ________.
A. discharged
B. arrested
C. quitted
D. punished
正确答案：A
该词所在原句为“Mr. Scrushy was acquitted in June in a six-month trial there on all 36 counts against him, despite testimony from former HealthSouth executives who said he presided over a huge accounting fraud.”（Mr. Scrushy因36项指控而授受了6个月的审判，6月份……，尽管前HealthSouth主管指证其策划了一项大的账目作假。）因为前后半句是转折关系，所以可以推断Mr. Scrushy并没有受到制裁，因此选项A“宣布无罪”，B“逮捕”，C“解除”，D“惩罚”中，A符合逻辑。 -
第6题：
The last paragraph implies that ________.
A. Mr. Scrushy told a lie
B. Ms. Lewis will get the money Mr. Scrushy owes her
C. the Lewis Group may be a go-between
D. Mr. Scrushy will be involved in the trial again
正确答案：C
最后一段讲述因为Mr. Scrushy还欠他们一大笔债务，Ms. Lewis拿出财务详细证据来，包括Mr. Scrushy可能就是通过Lewis Group付给她钱的。选项A“Mr. Scrushy撒谎了”，从全文来看，Mr. Scrushy就此事其实没有说过什么，不能算是撒谎；B“Ms. Lewis会拿到Mr. Scrushy欠的钱”，但其实这并不能确定；C“Lewis Group可能是中间人”，因为在文章开始Ms. Lewis提到是Mr. Scrushy通过Lewis Group支付给她的，而且她拿出了两方面的财务证明，所以Lewis Group非常有可能是中间人；D“Mr. Scrushy将会再次卷入审判”，这也是不可知的事情。因此，正确答案为C。 -
第7题：
（ ）the same mistakes in the annual financial report again made his boss very angry.A.His having made
B.He having made
C.He had made
D.He has made答案：A解析：本题考查非谓语动词。句意为“他在年度财务报告中又犯了同样的错误，这让他的老板非常生气”。分析成分，句子中已经有谓语动词made，所以排除C、D。非谓语动词作主语时，动名词的复合结构就是在动名词前加上它的逻辑主语，其形式为：名词所有格／形容词性物主代词+动名词。故本题选A。 -

Breneged on
Ccarried out
Dtired of
Edelivered on
Fretreated from
正确答案： D,F解析：
根据句意可以推测，我们对他失去信心的原因是他从未兑现过自己做出的不切实际的承诺，由此可见，选项C carried out（实现，完成）和选项E delivered on（履行）最符合句意且意思相近；A forgot about 忘记，忘却；B reneged on 违约；D tired of 厌倦；F retreated from 退出；放弃。 -

Bhe could not have regular lessons

正确答案： A解析：
文章首段提到有时候Felix去Mr. Posthorn办公室学习，偶尔Mr. Posthorn去拜访Miss Bohun时会腾出一小时空闲时间来辅导Felix，但大多部分时间Felix都是在自己卧室学习；从该段倒数第二句提到的“He knew he would not get far in this way...”，可知Felix并不满意这样的安排，因为他不能正常上课。 -

Passage Four
One evening Mr. Green was driving home along a lonely country road. He had ￡ 100.00 in his pock et. At the loneliest part of the road, a man asked for a lift (搭车). Mr. Green told him to get into the car and continued his driving. When he talked to the man and learned that the man had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days before, Mr. Green was very worried.
Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea. He just reached a small town where the speed limit (限制速度) was 30 miles an hour. But he drove the car as fast as it could go. He looked back and saw that the police-car had begun to chase (追) him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook (赶上) him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out and came to Mr. Green's car. Mr. Green hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber, but he felt the man had put a gun against his back. The policeman took out his notebook and pencil, saying he wanted Mr. Green's name and address. Mr. Green asked to be taken to the police station, but the policeman said, "No, you will have to appear at the police station later." Mr. Green had to do as the policeman told him. The policeman wrote his name and address down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr. Green started up his car again and drove on.
Just as he reached the outskirts (郊区) of London, the passenger said, "! want to get off here." Mr. Green stopped the car, the man got out and said, "Thanks for the lift. You've been good to me. This is the least I can do in return (报答)." And he handed Mr. Green the policeman's notebook, which he stole while the policeman was talking to Mr. Green.
46. The man asking for a lift was ______.
A. a robber who robs drivers
B. a policeman who had worked in prison
C. a prisoner who had escaped from prison
D. a stranger with ￡ 100.00 in his pocket
正确答案：C
本题是对有关人物细节信息的考查。其中关键词是man．．．lift．．．was。首先，考生从选项中得知需判断搭车人的身份。通过第1段倒数第2句中的．．．the man．．．in prison for robbery．．．broken out of prison two days before了解到此人曾因抢劫而入狱，但又于两天前越狱逃走。 A、B、D项都与文中内容不符，应被排除。唯有C项(越狱的犯人)合乎文中情节，是正确答案。

Mr. Russell said Richard had nothing to do with the agreement mentioned because ________.
A. Richard didn't want to pay money he owed Ms. Lewis
B. this may affect the trial
C. this may ruin Richard's reputation
D. he knew that was the fact
正确答案：C
文章讲述的是Ms. Lewis为获利受Mr. Scrushy之托写有利于他的文章，但之后Mr. Scrushy却没有付清答应的款项，因此Ms. Lewis将其公布于众。第一段提到Mr. Scrushy的发言人Mr. Russell否认这个事实，无非是怕承认后Mr. Scrushy的名声受到损害，这是最关键的，至于钱款并不是最关心的，因此C最符合逻辑。 -
