Part I Writing
1 如何提高英语写作能力
Ⅰ、多积累一些常用的、精彩的词、短语、句子。
1.积累一个词，应该要同时掌握这个词的用法。记单词不能光记它的表面意思，而应深入了解它的适用语境、常用搭配、习惯用法等，这样才算真正掌握了一个词。例如“Actually, no rules of the game states you must do anything”这个句子中，查字典了解到“state”一词意思是“表明、说明”，在这里作及物动词，用法之一是“…state…”。以后在写作中要表达“考试中取得高分表明你学习取得了很大进步”便可翻译成“The high marks of the tests state you've made great progress in your studies”。
2.对一些精彩的句子应摘抄下来，熟读成诵，并有意识地将它们应用到自己的习作中去。这里说的“精彩”，并不是专指那些生僻的、羞涩难懂的句子，而是一些表达方式新颖、生动形象的句子。例如《The Climate & Clothing of the UK》一文中有一句“September may find you eating your lunch on some grassy spot in the sun one day and trying to shelter from the rain under an umbrella that has turned itself inside-out in a howling gale the next!”这个句子尽管长却不难理解，正是由于其倒装句式的妙用。假如将它变成一般性的陈述句便是“In September you may be eating lunch on some grassy spot one day and the next day you may be trying to shelter from the rain under an umbrella that has turned itself inside-out in a howling gale.”这样的陈述句就显得单调枯燥。一些原汁原味的英文习作之所以读起来更有味道，其中一个很重要的原因就是它们综合运用了不同的表达方式，能变换句式，避免重复哆嗦。有意识地多积累一些这样的精彩句子，并应用到自己的习作中去，便可摆脱那种“单一陈述”型的模式，使自己的文章更有活力。
Ⅱ、恰当运用过渡词
恰当运用过渡词可以使文章结构紧凑，过渡自然，避免脱节现象。时间上的衔接词有“then、as time goes by、day after day、gradually、finally”等，表因果关系的有“as a result、because of、thanks to”等……
对于这样一段话“Usually if you read the weath er forecast in the newspaper, it will help you to predict how the day will turn out. But it's not so in Britain.”应用连接词“contrary to ”和变换一下句式，将其变为“Contrary to popular belief, reading the weather forecast carefully in the newspaper will not help you to predict how the day will turn out”则显得更简洁、更紧凑。可见恰当应用连接词和变换句式可以收到“以少量词表达出丰富意思”的效果。
Ⅲ、恰当运用修辞
众所周知，恰当的修辞可以使文章更生动形象。我们高中写的大多是记叙文，这就有了比喻、拟人等
明（肇事者，是他扔西瓜下下水渠的。但是下水渠里有修理工，他也把西瓜扔了出来。）多数同学描述为“Xiaoming was hit by the piec e of water-melon”或“The piece of water-melon hit Xiaoming on his head”。若用上比喻拟人修辞，则可描述为“The piece of water-melon, like a flying bullet, whose target was Xiaoming's head, jumped out of the cloaca（下水道）and hit exactly on its target.”
显而易见后者更生动形象。
总的来说，要提高自己的英语写作能力，必须多精读、泛读，积累精彩的单词、短语、句子，并尽可能地运用到自己的习作中去，多模仿一些原汁原味的文章，这样才能使自己的写作水平跃上一个新台阶。

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)
Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8 to10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.
Using the Mind to Fight Diseases
Psychology has a new application in the field of medicine. Many doctors, together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals and research centers, modern methods of therapy seem to focus on the physical disease without considering the patients' mental state. Patients may feel that they are being treated impersonally, like broken machines. Some doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psychological therapy with patients to use their own minds to fight their diseases, because the patient is working with the medicine and the doctors against the disease, his or her attitude changes. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight.
Mental therapy
The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically. The body of the patient (in this case, a man) changes because of the disease. He is not only physically affected, but as the physician knows, he also has an emotional response to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change. The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient's mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient (in this case, a woman) has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her self-image is poor and she feels self-pity. As a result, her behavior changes. Because of her constant depression, she acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctors, and nurses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent the patient from getting well.
Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change her attitudes. Simonton's method emphasizes treatment of the whole patient by treating both the body and the mind.
The attitude of a cancer patient who is receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray treatment, can become more positive. The physician who is following Simonton's psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor（肿瘤）in the body. In the mental picture, the patient "sees" a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Simonton might make another suggestion. This patient, with a different kind of cancer, needs to take capsules and pills several times a day. The doctor asks the patient to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying. His or her blood carries away the dead cells. Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude fight the disease.
Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this use of psychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves change. They become more confident because they use the power within their own minds to help stop the disease.
Suggestion therapy
Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of suggestion therapy. Before making the suggestion, the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply. The patient (in this case, a man) thinks only about one thing. He becomes so unaware of other things around him that he seems to be asleep. He is said to be in a trance （催眠状态）. Then the physician makes "a suggestion" to the patient about the medical problem. The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance. In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment.
Suggestion therapy helpful for both adults and children
Doctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with the strong pain of some disease. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient (in this case, a woman) worries about her illness so much that the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious. Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic（慢性的）diseases. Asthma （哮喘）is an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a disease that causes the patient to have difficulty in breathing. The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or she needs. Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily.
Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treating children. Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated by it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collisions has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had excellent results. They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication. Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Most of the children also felt better about themselves. Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems.
Response from the medical world
Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psychology because they recognize its value. Nobody knows how suggestion works; however, doctors have learned that psychology has important

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)（25 minutes)
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.
To call something "marginal" means it is not very good. Farmers have their own way to 47 marginal land: It is the last to be planted under good conditions, and has the 48 to be avoided under poor conditions. Low 49 soil is not the only reason land could be considered marginal. It might be in an area where rainfall is 50 or where a hillside might rise too steeply.
There are uses for marginal land, however. Most often it is used as grassland. Grasses provide excellent 51 for grazing animals like cattle, sheep and goats. Grass seed can be bought from a foreign supplier or 52 grasses can be used. However, using marginal land for grazing is not a simple issue. There is a 53 of overgrazing. Cattle can damage the crops by eating down to the roots. Also, the weight of the animals crushes the soil and can make it too hard for growing. A(n) 54 way to reduce the harm is to move animals from one field to another. This method is known as rotational grazing (循环放牧）which is extremely important for marginal land.
Another use for marginal land is for tree crops. Studies have 55 that the white pine and loblolly pine (火炬松）are two kinds of trees that grow well on such land. They grow fast and provide good quality wood. Another tree is the poplar (白杨),found in many parts of the world.
Failure to take the care needed to protect marginal lands can make a bad situation worse. But good planning can 56 a marginal resource into a highly productive one.
Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
natural; some are semisynthetic (半合成的), the result of chemical action on a natural substance; some are synthetic, built up from the constituents (成分) of oil or coal. All are based on the chemistry of carbon, with its capacity for forming chains. The molecules that compose them (monomers) link together in the setting or curing (加工) process to form chains (polymers), which give plastics their flexible strength. Some plastics retain their ability to be softened and reshaped: like wax, they are thermoplastic. Others set permanently in the shapes they are given by heat and pressure; like eggs, they are thermosetting.
From industrial beginnings in the nineteenth century, plastics have struggled through a hundred and twenty years of glory, failure, disrepute, and suspicion on the slow road to public acceptance. Now at last, one call positively say that plastics are appreciated and enjoyed for what they are; that they make modern life richer, more comfortable and convenient, and also more fun. Plastics are warm materials, sympathetic to the human touch, and their transformation into things that come into contact with human beings is entirely appropriate.
The fact that there are plastic antiques comes as a shock to most people. How can a material that seems so essentially twentieth century, and one that is so much associated with cheap, disposable products, have a history at all? It is a young technology, and a great part of the fun of collecting plastics is that beautiful pieces of historical interest can still be found very cheap.
57. Which of the following groups of adjectives best concludes the characteristics of plastics?
A) Inexpensive, convenient and historic.
B) Disposable, rare and interesting.

A) There has been ups and downs in the development history of plastic technology.
B) Nowadays plastics help people to live a more convenient life in modern world.
C) Since plastic technology does not have a long history, there are no plastic antiques at all.
D) Collecting cheap but beautiful plastic antiques can be funny sometimes.
61. The word "sympathetic" in the last sentence of the second paragraph is closest to ______.
A) favorable B) pitiable C) easy D) harmless
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors-or of people very different from our own-can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.
In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective; it reflects emotions and
painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso's Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros-as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martines-depicted these Mexican artists' deep anger and sadness about social problems.
In the same way, art can reflect a culture's religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn't read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was and still is its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the islamic belief that statues are unholy.
62. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A) The difference between general history and art history.
B) What we can learn from art history.
C) The superiority of art history to general history.
D) The influence of artists over history.
63. One can learn more about a culture from a study of art history than from general history classes because art history .
A) shows us the religions and emotions of a people in addition to political values
B) does not focus on objective politics, or economics, or war
C) gives us an insight into the essential qualities of a time and a place
D) provides us with information about the daily activities of people
64. "Art, ..., is subjective" (Line 2, Para. 2) means that _____________.
A) history is presented in it in a personal and emotional view
B) it can easily rouse our negative feelings towards society
C) history books only cover facts about politics of a country
D) it will find a ready echo in people's hearts easily
65. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

B) Unlike Francisco Goya, Mexican artists did not really express the political opinions in their works.

66. It may be concluded from this passage that ____________.
A) most Europeans understand the Bible through church paintings
B) history teachers are more objective than artists
C) it is more difficult to study art history than general history
D)Islamic artists might adopt images of flowers or geometric forms for architectural decoration
