LISTENING TEXT:
Wales is one of the four countries that form the United Kingdom. The Act of Union in 1536 combined West and East Wales into a single state. Wales was considered by the English and later Great Britain and the United Kingdom governments as a separate part of England and Cardiff was named in 1955 as its capital. Since then we speak of "England and Wales" where before only "England" was used. Travelling from England, you will know when you are in Wales, because all street signs and names of railway stations are written in two languages: English and Welsh. Welsh is the original language of the people in Wales.The landscape in Wales is also different from England.While England is mostly hilly, the central parts of Wales are motmtainous. It is here that we find the highest mountainin the UK. As it is impossible to grow crops on the mountains,Welsh farmers keep sheep instead. It is difficult to get around the steep mountain slopes, even in ajeep. So the Welsh sheep farmers use dogs to move the sheep from one field to another.
The weather in Wales is warmer and wetter than in other parts of Britain. This is because of the high mountains.The wind here usually comes from the southwest. As it moves across the warm Atlantic Ocean, the wind carries water from the sea. When this wind hits the mountains of Wales, the air rises causing rain to fall.
Wales is popular with holiday visitors. They go hiking in the mountains, or spend their summer days by the sea, swimming or sailing. People interested in history and architecture can visit some of the many historical sites in Wales. Most ancient castles and churches are open to the public. During the holidays, there are festivals too, with singing and dancing. Wales is often called "the Land of Song" and its people are famous for their love of poetry and music.

1．Cardiff
2．Part of England from 1536 until 1955; now one of the fourn countries that form the UK.

Answers to Exercise 2:
1． The landscape is different.Street signs and names of stations
are written in two languages: English and Welsh.
2．To move their sheep from one field to another.
3．Because the wind usually comes from the sea, and when it hits
the mountains it starts raining.

9．make(+the)+n+of词组小结
make the most of充分利用/展现
make the best of 好好去做，往好里做
make the worst of在困难情况下不肻好好干
make use of 利用

他想充分利用他的机会来学习。

[考题9]Such good use has been his spare time his
English has improved a 1ot．
A．made of：that B．made of；as
C．made in；that D．found in；as(2003年成都诊断题)
[解析]分析句子结构在解答本题时占极其重要的作用。句中含词组make good use of及句型suchthat。use被提到句首，后面的组成部分不能少了make与of；另外such good use 也放在句首，表示强调。本句是一个结果状语从句，所以不用引导定语从句的such…as [答案] A
10. as+adj./adv.+as的用法
(1)表示“﹙可数的量﹚多达”时用as many as；表示“﹙不可数的量﹚多达”时，用as much as。
As many as 10 or 11 poople were found living in a single room．
多达十到十一人被发现生活在一个单间里。

一Did it?Well，that doesn't matter--you enjoyed yourselves．
A.as well as B．as good as
C．as far as D．as long as(2002年北京东城区题)
[解析] as good as有本义(和……一样好)与比喻义(几乎；差不多已经)。as long as也是如此；“像……一样长；只要(类似于if)”as Well as除了作连词外，还有本义：“和……一样好”。[答案]D
(2)John plays football ，if not better than，David．
A．as well B．as well as
C．so well D．so well as
[解析] 这是个条件状语从句，由此可知空白处表示“和……一样好”，肯定句中用as weU as，否定句中多用so well as。[答案] B
10．三个“国家”的区别
nation，state和country均可表示“国家”，但是nation指具有某些共同特征的人群、民族居住在一个地区，拥有一个独立的政府的“国家”；state强调政治意义上的“国家”；country强调国土意义上的 国家。

[考题1 1] We thought of selling this old furniture，but
we’ve decided to it．It might be valuable．
A．ho1d on to B．keep up with C．turn to D．1ook after
(2002年全国高考题)
[解析] keep up with表示“跟上”，turn to表示“转向”，1ook after表示“照顾”。语境表示“……我们决定不卖，因为它可能有价值。” 所缺短语含义为“不要放弃／不卖掉”。本题要充分利用排除法，因为平时只见到hold on，很少拓展hold on to的用法，因此了解一下常用词组的次常见含义有必要的。[答案] A
12．含run的词组小结
(1)本单元中的run over作“(车辆)辗压；溢出；匆匆看／复习一遍；预演一遍；简短地说一遍”讲。
He was run over by a car．他被车辗了。
The water ran over the edge of the jar．水溢出坛边了。
The speaker ran over his notes before the 1ecture．

[考题20]
(1)Be careful when you cross this very busy street．If not，you may run over by a car．(2002年北京高考题)
A．have B．get C．become D．turn
[解析] run over在本句中的含义为“被车辗过啊”。从用法上看， 此处应使用被动语态，而只有get done可以构成特殊的被动语态，表示遭遇到不幸等含义。[答案] B
(2)We are water．We’d better store some．
A．running out B．running out of
C．run out D．run out of
[解析]run out表示“用光”，是个不及物动词，后面不能接宾语也不可用于被动语态，所以A、C两项被排除。D项是被动形式，也不接语。
[答案] B
13. 含time的词组小结
at a time一次；每次
at one time一度；曾经(=once)
at the same time与此同时；虽然如此
from time to time时而，不时地
in time及时；迟早、终究
on time准时，按时
at times有时候(=sometimes)
a11 the time一直
[考题13] ，I 1ost heart in English learning，but my teacher often said to me，“Keep on working hard；you’llsucceed ．”
A．At a time；in time B．At a time；on time
C．At one time；in time D．At one time；on time
[解析]本题显然是考查at a time与at one time、in time与ontime的用法及区别。注意从at one time相当于once(one与once很相似)、in time有两重含义(相当于sooner or later)这两个技巧与能力方面入手，即可找出本题答案。[答案] C
14．“of+修饰词+n.”的用法
(1)be of+抽象名词，相当于“be+其同根形容词”，表示“是……的”，该抽象名词前可以加much，great，little，some，no等词修饰。
The book is of great importance(=very important)to you.
(2)be of+普通名词。该普通名词一般没有相应的形容词，所以不存在“be+adj．”的转换形式。
Coins may be of different sizes，weights，shapes and different metals.硬币可能大小、重量、形状不同，所用金属材料不同。
They were both of middle height． 他们俩都是中等身材。
(3)be of+不定冠词或one等词+名词，表示“同一的”。
The coats are of a colour．这衣服颜色一样。
we are of one opinion．我们意见相同。
The two pairs of shoes are of one size．
=The two pairs of shoes are of the same size．
这两双鞋大小一样。
(4)be of+普通名词或物质名词，表示“由……制成”，“由……组成”。
The wall is of stone．=The wall is made of stone．
这墙是用石头砌成的。
(2)Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind unless they kill them for food．(2000年全国高考题)
A．the；a B．／；a C．the；the D．／；the
[解析] kind是个可数名词，所以前面加不定冠词a；a differen kind作定语，修饰animals，而此处animals泛指任何动物，所以前面不加冠词。[答案] B
(3)--How many parts is the bed wood ?
一Three separate parts．
A．made of；made up of B．made from；made up
C．making of；making up D．making from；making up of
[解析] 分析句子结构可知，“--wood'’作定语，修饰bed，表示“由木材制成的”，用the bed made of wood表示；第二空与is构成词组“由……组成”，用be made up of表示。[答案] A
15．表示“据说”的三种句型及拓展
(1)It is said that+主语+谓语部分
(2)People say that+主语+谓语部分
(3)主语+be+said+to+谓语部分
It is said that the population is 3 million．
=People say that the population is 3 million．
=The population is said to be 3 million．据说人口是三百万。
拓展：类似词还有：report，know，believe，hope，suppose，tell．
[考题15]
(1) at least a score of buildings will be built soon．
A．It hopes B．It is hoped that
C．We are hoped D．It is wished that
[解析] hope只可接单宾语，故排除c项。It is hoped that．．．意为“人们希望……” [答案] B
(2) that he has retumed home for one month．
A．It is said B．It said C．It was said D．It says
[解析] It is said that“据说……”。由“has”一词可知本题时态，故不可选C项。答案为A。
16．名词性从句(I)--宾语从句和表语从句
(1)宾语从句中that与what的用法 ．
what在宾语从句中，有代替名词的作用，在句中可作主语、宾语或
表语。that只起引导作用，不作任何成分，可省略。
He seems different from what he used to be．
(作表语)他看上去与过去不一样了。
-The fire destroyed what was in the building．
(作主语)大火摧毁了大楼里的东西。
(2)宾语从句中复合关系名词whoever，whichever，whatever等有代替名词的作用
You may do whatever(anything that)you like．
(“无论什么”，作宾语)你可以想做什么就做什么。
You can choose whichever you 1ike．
(“无论哪一个”；作宾语)你能选择所喜欢的任意一个。
(3)表语从句常考点
(1)对引导词(连词)的正确选择。表语从句可由that，what,
who(whom)，when，where，how，why，whether等连词引导。
The question is whether we can catch the early bus．
问题是我们是否能赶上早班车。
(2)含有几个须用虚拟语气作宾语的词（如：suggest，advise，order等）或名词的表语从句中也用（should）do 形式。
My suggestion (advice) is that he (should) be sent to hospital at once.
[考题24](1)Sometimes we are asked__ the likely result of an action will be．
A．that we think B．what we think
C．what do we think D．that what we think
[解析] 宾语从句是名词性从句中的考查热点，其中又以测试引导词、语序、主从句的时态占绝大比例。选项中we think为一插入成分，解题时可将其放在一边。句中be动词后缺表语，因此应用what。 [答案]B
(2)Go and get your coat．It’s you left it．
A．there B．where C．there where D．where there
[解析] 本题考查引导名词性从句的连接副词的用法。在从句中,there是不能引导句子的，因为there只是副词，不是连接副词。Where引导表语从句并在从句中作状语。[答案] B
(3)The difficulty we now meet with is we can persuade him to tell the truth．
A．that B．what C．how D．why
[解析] 句意为“我们现在碰到的问题是如何能够说服他讲实话。”
[答案] C
(4)After five hours’drive，they reached--they thought was the place they'd been drearning of.
A．that B．where C．which D．what
[解析] 句中they thought是插入语成分，所以引导词引导宾语从句且作主语，只有what符合题意。[答案] D

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki,who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm into the building.
She said:"I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there. "
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious(怀疑)of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before NewYear's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: "He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact (接触)." Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stall McKale,65 ,who phoned the police at 11 pm..

The tower of Big Ben, London's most famous building, has always leaned slightly, but construction work on a new line for the London Underground seemed likely to give the tower a real lean. Engineers have had to prop up(支撑) its base to prevent it from damaging the rest of the Houses of Parliament.
To control the tower's movement, engineers pumped out grout(水泥浆) into the soil under.the tower. The tower now leans an extra few centimeters, but the lean can only be seen by the most sharp-eyed observer.
Between 1995 and 1997, to lengthen the Jubilee line of the Underground, builders dug a 40-metre-deep hole just 31 metres north of the clock tower. And the new tube (underground) tunnels were even nearer to the tower. John Burland, who recently helped stop the increasing lean in the Leaning Tower of Pisa and was an adviser to the Jubilee line project, believed the work would affect the tower. In his opinion, no further lean should go beyond a safety limit of 27.5 millimetres over the existing lean of 220 millimetres.
To keep the lean within this limit, Burland told the British Association about the new method of pumping grout immediately under the base of the tower. More than 300 tons of grout were pumped in during construction. The towers additional lean went between 10 and 25 millimetres ,but never passed 27.5 millimetres.
After the construction work was completed in late 1997, a review of movements in nearby walls showed that the building was in better shape than had been thought before and the safety measurements, taken this year, suggest that the tower's lean had just reached 35 millimetres. But following regular re-examinations of the tower, experts are sure that the tower has stabilized (稳定). A spokesman for London Underground says, " We understand the tower has stabilized and returned to its normal movement cycle. "
41. Which of the following drawing correctly shows how the propping up
construction was carried out?
42. What does the word review( in paragraph 5) mean?
A. Observation. B. Description.
C. Discussion. D. Re-examination.
43. Why was the propping up construction necessary?
A. To stop the tower of Big Ben from leaning.
B. To stop sharp-eyed people from seeing the lean.
C. To stop the Tower of Pisa from leaning too much.
D. To stop the clock tower from leaning beyond its safety limit.
44. What was the existing lean of the tower at the time when the article was writing?
A. 220 millimetres. B. 255 millimetres.
C. 35 millimetres. D. 27.5 millimetres.
45. We can infer from the article that
A. the tower of Big Ben will damage the Houses of Parliament
B. the Jubilee line should be stopped in Burlands opinion
C. the writer is blaming Burland for making a mistake
D. the propping up work has proved to be successful
C
Have you ever used a typewriter? If not, you've surely seen one. This useful machine has a most interesting history.
Although you may think that the typewriter is a modern invention,the idea goes as far back as the early 1700s. It was then, in 1714,that England's Queen Anne granted Henry Mill the first patent( 专利)for a machine that typed letters. Called An Artificial Machine or Method For Impressing Letters, the machine remained just a design on paper.
Various other typing machines were invented over the next hundred years or so. However, all of them had the same problem: they required more time to use than writing the same material by hand. Things improved a little around 1829 when an American named William Butt invented a machine called the desired letter.He also pressed a bar to link the paper. The machine printed letters well, but it had a top speed of only five words a minute.
Finally, in 1874, a more practical machine was introduced to the public. Invented by an American Christopher Sholes and some of his companions, the machine was set up by E. Remington and Sons and called the "Remington Model No. 1 ". It was the first typewriter to have the kind of typewriter keyboard we know today.
You may have a look at the typewriter keyboard and wonder about the strange arrangement of letters. As a matter of fact, the keys were so arranged to force typists to type lower. Typing too fast caught the keys of Remington 1 pressed together. They still follow this early arrangement of letters of the keyboard.
46. What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage?
A. What a typewriter is.
B. How the typewriter was invented.
C. The function and use of a typewriter.
D. Remington and his invention.
47. "An Artificial Machine" was .
A. the first typewriter that was made by Henry Mill
B. highly praised by England's Queen as the first typewriter
C. hardly produced at all
D. made as the first typewriter in 1714
48. The first typewriters were made .
A. from 1700 to 1714
B. in the eighteenth century
C. in the nineteenth century
D. in the twentieth century
49. That the keyboard was designed so as today is because .
A. the inventor wanted to make typing slower than writing
B. the inventor meant to prevent the keys from being pressed
together
C. that it was arranged strangely
D. it has nothing to do with Remington
50. We can infer from the passage that modern typewriters are better that and different from the one invented by Sholes and his companions except for .
A. the size B. the keyboard
C. the form of letters D. the arrangement of the letters
D
The British have enjoyed an increase in IQ unmatched by anybody else in the developed world over the past 60 years, a study has revealed. James Flynn, a professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand and a leading authority on intelligence quotient (智商), says he has found an "exceptional and unappreciated" rise.
Last year the professor announced a worldwide increase in IQ showing that we are generally brighter than our parents, but are outwitted by our children. He suggested that the complexities( 复杂性) of modem life were stimulating ( 刺激) the brain. Now a comparison of data from thousands of tests in universities and the army in 20 countries has shown that this socalled Flynn Effect is greatest in Britain, with a 27-point increase in average IQ Since the Second World War.
Much of the British advantage comes from speaking English,the standard tool of communication in commerce and culture. TheBritish also benefit from IQ-boosters ( 推助器 ) such as lower truancy(逃学) and better nutrition than in America. This may help to explain why the typical British reader of J. R. R Tolkien's The lord of the Rings was believed to be 25 in the mid 1950s and 18 during the late 1960s, whereas the book is now widely enjoyed by 12-year-olds.
Psychologists believe up to 80% of an IQ score is determined
by genes. But a formula for high IQ would also include a larger-
than-average head and breast-feeding because milk helps the grainto develop. Bill Dickens,Flynn's research partner at the BrookingsInstitution in Washington D. C, believes the challenge of changingjobs may also have an impact: " In which case countries like Britain, which have high levels of job changes, should produce some very bright people whose most obvious sign of their intelligence istheir insecurity(不安分) ".
51. According to James Flynn, .
A. the British have had a sharp increase in IQ
B. the British remain at the same level in IQ
C. the British are the most clever people in the world
D. the British are cleverer than other people in the developed world
52. The underlined word " outwitted" in the second paragraph probably means .
A. matched in wisdom
B. defeated by being cleverer
C. followed in wisdom
D. looked down upon
53. According to James Flynn, people in the world are generally
brighter because .
A. people live a better life than before
B. people enjoy better education
C. modem life is getting hard
D. modem life is not so simple as before
54. Which of the following is not a reason for the increase in
IQ of the British?
A. Speaking English. B. Changing jobs.
C. Higher truancy. D. Better nutrition.
55. The example of the typical BritiSh readers of The lord of the Rings shows that .
A. the younger a reader is, the more likely he will enjoy reading the book
B. it is the most difficult book to read
C. people are becoming brighter
D. it is more popular in Britain than in America

England is no a big country:from north to south and 56
from east to west, it is only about three hundreds miles57
across. But for a small country it has a surprised range58
of climates. People who have ever visited England, or 59
who has visited only one part of it, often make the mistake60
of thinking that it is cold and wet county. Except for 61
the summer months of June to September, this is probably 62
true in the north of England and the Midlands.In the south, however, ~e climate is too much more 63
pleasant. One result is because when people retire from a64
job in the north they often prefer move to the milder south.65
