问答题The extract below comes from an article which appeared in a magazine called Society Today. You read the extract and have strong feelings about its contents, and decide to write an article, in which you respond to the points made and express your own views. You should write the article in no fewer than 120 words. Now write your letter on the answer sheet.正确答案：
The Influence of Popular CultureIt seems that image and appearance are attracting more and more attention in the modern world which is full of material desires. Some believe that it is the rise of popular culture including the media, sport and the fashion industry to blame. It is definitely true that this has somewhat brought about some shallow and egoistic people. However, we absolutely should not attribute this to the popular culture itself.
Popular culture, opposite to exquisite culture, is easy to appreciate and comprehend and is oriented to the common people. Being popular does not mean emphasizing the appearance. The reason why they mislead some people is that they have developed a false concept in their mind. They believe anything popular must be presentational and only related to outer appearance.
Whether the influence of popular culture is positive or negative depends on how people perceive and treat them. Properly used, they can instruct and entertain the public; on the contrary, they can also produce a generation of skin-deep people.解析： 暂无解析 -

第12题：
问答题Directions: Some people say television has altered family life dramatically. Write an article for your school magazine, putting forward your views. You should write about 160 words on the Answer Sheet.正确答案：
Nowadays almost everyone in the world has access to TV. Television has caused significant changes in family life. Some of these changes have been positive while some have been negative.
Before television was invented, many families were informed by newspapers or the radio. The invention of television brought home a new choice. No other media could ever show people so much information. Even families in isolated areas can know for themselves what is happening in the world. This gives them the power to make their own decisions and form their own opinions.
However, the changes have not all been positive. Before television was widely available, families spent more time together talking and playing games. They seemed much closer to each other than modern families. Also, many people waste a lot of time watching poor quality programs which do not have a positive influence. People get a bad impression of the real world from such programs.
To sum up, there are strong positive effects of TV in terms of its informative role on family members, but it also has in many ways altered families in a negative sense.

第15题：
What was unusual about the Article of Confederation? What was the struggle at the Constitutional Convention? How was the conflict solved?
正确答案:—— The Article of Confederation was unusual in many ways. First, it provided for no king. The drafters blamed the troubles with Britain on king George III. So they decided not to have a king but to have a republic. This was revolutionary. Second, while the Articles created a central government in the form of a Congress, the emphasis was still on state powers. Third, the Articles of Confederation was a written constitution for the United States. No important country in the world at that time, including Britain, had a written constitution. At the Constitution Convention the delegates all agreed it was impossible to try to patch up the Articles of Confederation, and decided to ignore them and draw up a new plan of government. Here contradictions emerged between the bigger states and smaller states, between the industrial commercial interests and landed interests, etc. In the end, the conflict was resolved by the “Great Compromise” of July 16, giving each state and equal vote in the Senate but making representation in the House reflect the size of each state’s population. -

The flight is due at 11: 00 and it’s about 45-minute drive to our company. At 12:30, the lunch will be at the Swan Hotel instead of the White Hart. At 16: 00, Tom McAllister will show the video about our new product. Carol Snape will be absent. As John Sallis has to leave early, Sue Smith will take Ms. Garcia to the airport. Could you please inform Ms. Garcia of the changes?ThanksHenrikHi, Henrik, I’ll send Ms. Garcia a new journey plan at once.Best regards,Colleen正确答案： 41. 20 OCTOBER
此信息可以从第一封邮件正文的第一行“for Ms. Garcia’s visit on Wednesday 20 October”获取。
42. COMPANY
根据第一封邮件正文的第一行“The flight is due at 11:00 and it’s about 45-minute drive to our company.”可知,从机场到公司需要45分钟,所以到达公司的时间应该是11:45。
43. SWAN HOTEL
根据第一封邮件正文“the lunch will be at the Swan Hotel instead of the White Hart”可以判断午餐是在“Swan Hotel”而不是“White Hart”。
44. TOM MCALLISTER
本题的问题是16:00时做产品介绍是谁。“At l6:00, Tom McAllister will show the video about our new product.”与这一时间对应的,因此,此处应填“TOM MCALLISTER”。
45. SUE SMITH

问答题Passage 8 ● Read the magazine article below about a company which checks on the service provided by shops. ● Choose the correct word to fill each gap, from A, B or C on the opposite page. ● For each question 29-40, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.SECRET SHOPPERS Tim Wright knows all about making companies more efficient. His firm, Check-up, sends ‘secret shoppers’ into retail and leisure companies (29)______ order to make sure that customers are receiving good service. After (30)______ visit, the secret shoppers prepare a report for the company to let them know (31)______ good or bad the service was. ‘Companies like to know,’ says Mr. Wright, ‘that (32)______ customers go into a store just a few minutes before closing time, they will (33)______ get good service.’ Check-up (34)______ set up in the west of England in 1992 and (35)______ two years moved to London so it could offer a nationwide service. (36)______ the last three years, Check-up’s profits have (37)______ dramatically as companies have come to realize (38)______ great importance of good customer service. Having started with just; three employees, Check-up now has a staff (39)______ sixty-five and last week (40)______ an important new contract with a major supermarket chain. 29. A in B by C on 30. A our B his C their 31. A whether B how C if 32. A while B when C. As 33. A still B yet C. Already 34. A has B is C was 35. A until B. After C later 36. A From B During C Since 37. A increase B increasing C increased 38. A this B that C the 39. A of B. At C too 40. A sign B signed C signing正确答案： 29.A in order to固定搭配,意为“目的是……”,这里的意思是“他的公司,Check-up,会派遣秘密的购物者去零售和休闲公司,目的是保证顾客收到良好的服务”。
30.C 这里需要填入的是人称代词的所有格形式,又因为此处指的是“secret shoppers”,所以用复数第三人称的所有格形式,their。
31.B how可以修饰形容词、副词、动词,“how good or bad the service was”作动词know的宾语,意思是“服务有多么地好或者是有多么地不好”。如果选A项,则正确的形式是whether the service was good or bad。whether用作连词,意思是“是否,是不是”,可与or或or not连用,除引出宾语从句外,还可引出主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句或与不定式连用,但其后不接形容词。
32.B 词义辨析题。While、when和as这些连词均可表示“当…时”引出时间状语从句。when所引导的从句,其谓语动词既可是持续动词,也可是短暂动词;谓语动词动作发生的时间可以与主句谓语动词的动作是同时,或之前、之后。这里的“go into a store”发生在主句中的“get good service”之前,所以选when。而while句中的谓语动词应为持续动词,不用短暂动词,谓语动作发生的时间通常与主句谓语动词动作发生时间是同时。as侧重指从句与主句的动作同时进行,谓语动词可以是持续性的,可以是短暂性动词。
33.A still用作副词时,意思是“还,仍旧,尚”,这里的意思是“他们仍然会得到良好的服务”。而yet多用于疑问句或否定句。already一般用于肯定句中,与动词搭配时,静态动词多用一般式,动态动词多用完成式,already不用于一般将来时。
34.C 空格后提到了一个时间点“in 1992”,由此可知这里应该是过去时,所以选was。
35.B 这里的意思是“两年后搬到了伦敦”,所以选after。
36.B during可以表示一定时间中的某个时间点,意思是“当…之际”;还可表示一定时间中的某个时间段,意思是“在…期间”;during也可表示延续某事件的全过程,意思是“在…整个期间内”。所以这里选during,意思是“在过去的三年里”。from只表示某事的起点,后面接的是一个时间点,而这里“the last three years”是一个时间段,所以可以排除from。since用作介词的意思是“从…以来,自从…之后”,其宾语常指过去的一个时间点,所以since也可以排除。
37.C 这里是现在完成时,所以应该用increase的过去分词形式increased。
38.C the importance of意为“…的重要性”,常用表达方式。
39.A of用于说明数量、价值或年龄,a staff of sixty-five意为“六十五个员工”。
40.B 空格前出现了last week,故可知这里的时态是过去时,所以选signed。解析： 暂无解析
