六、作文(1題)66.Directions:Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteacompositiononthetopic"HowIFi-nanceMyCollegeEducation".Youshouldwriteatleast120words,andbaseyourcompositionontheoutlinegiveninChinesebelow：1.上大學的費用（tuitionandfees).可以通過多種途徑解決；2.哪種途徑適合于我（說明理由）。

參考答案

1.B解析：encourage：鼓勵、鼓舞；discourage：使泄氣；prevent：阻止；ask：要求。根據(jù)句意只有選B。

2.D

3.A解析：while意為“雖然”；as意為“因為”；if意為“如果”；since意為“因為”。根據(jù)題意選A。

4.D解析：本題測試形容詞辨析。四個選項的意思分別是“普通的”，“清楚的”，“正義的”，“僅僅的”。根據(jù)句意，D項正確。本句大意為：他僅僅把它作為一個細節(jié)來描述，而我卻認為它是這個計劃中最重要的部分。

5.C

6.C

7.B

8.A

9.Ainparticular是固定搭配，意為“特別地”。

10.Dapplyto應用；applyfor申請

11.B解析：此處是對將來情況的假設。虛擬條件句的謂語部分為should，had或were時，可把if省去，而把should，had或were放在從句的主語之前，構成主謂部分倒裝。

12.C解析：much用在句中修飾比較級better。

13.D解析：本題考查動詞搭配。doone'shomework“做作業(yè)”；makemistakes“犯錯誤”。句意為：做作業(yè)，還要保證別犯錯誤。

14.C所有的學生都去看了昨天的魔術表演。它太令人不可思議了。這里主要考查的是動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞的不同用法。Sth．bedoing表示某一事物令人怎么樣。Sb．bedone表示某人處于某種狀態(tài)。例：Theletteristouching．這封信令人感動。

Iammoved．我很感動。

15.D

16.C

17.Blaunch為“發(fā)射”講；其余為干擾項。

18.A

19.A本句考查兩個并列句之間的連接的詞。題干的意思是：“氣球能夠浮在空氣中正如船能夠浮在海面上一樣。”在四個選項中，只有A項的justas有“正如，猶如”的意思。故選A。

20.C解析：副詞so置于句首，句子應該用倒裝語序，某人受傷用sb.beinjured來表示，故答案為C。

21.NocomputernetworkiscomparabletoInternetforpracticalapplication.

22.孿生兒有時候孤立在池們自己的世界里因此他們與成年人的交流比其他孩子要少．孿生兒有時候孤立在池們自己的世界里，因此，他們與成年人的交流比其他孩子要少．

23.遞交標書的截止日期是2004年2月15日下午4時。

24.那年輕人主動提出要送老婦人去火車站。

25.Fivehundredyearsisarelativelyshortperiodoftime,sowemayassumethatmanwillcontinuetogrowtaller.五百年是一段相對短暫的時間。因此，（我們）可以假設人類會繼續(xù)長高/身高會繼續(xù)增長。

26.D

27.實際上發(fā)明傘并不是用來擋雨的它一開始是用來遮太陽的。實際上，發(fā)明傘并不是用來擋雨的，它一開始是用來遮太陽的。

28.正是這場洪水造成的后果使人們充分認識到植樹的重要性。正是這場洪水造成的后果使人們充分認識到植樹的重要性。
