第Ⅰ卷（选择题 共50分）

第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分）

第一节 单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
21. Carl is studying food science at college and hopes to open up meat processing factory of his own one day.
A. / ； a B. / ；the C. the ; a D. the ; the
本题考查冠词，science是不可数名词，用the表示特指是不可能的，后面的factory是一个可数名词，用a 表示泛指。
22.——May I help you? You seem to be having some problems.
—— , thanks. I think I can manage.
A. All right B. No problem C. It’all right D. There’s no way
很多学生会选择答案D ，我想这是有道理的。 A. B. C都表示肯定，即接受帮助，只有D是拒绝。我没有去过国外，也很少见到老外，所以我不敢轻言答案是哪个，很多学生也应该是这样吧。我也不知道老外是否会经常用不定式的进行时进行交际，想必出卷教师一定是交际高手吧。 【你说的对，我是遇到问题了，但是谢谢你的好意，我自己可以解决】
23. Interest is as to learning as the ability to understand , even more so.
A. vital B. available C. specific D. Similar
Be vital to 表示：对.....极端重要；something be available to somebody表示：某人可以得到某物，列句：cooperative medical service is available to all the members of the the commune. C答案specific 不能与to 搭配；D 答案 similar to 表示：与.....相似。
本题可以把定于to understand 省掉，也可以把后面的even more so省掉或还原。
Interest is as to learning as the ability 这样可以确定B是错误的，D更是错误的。
Interest is even more than the ability to understand.
很佩服出卷人！
原句： Interest is vital to learning 互联网对于学习极端重要。
变化之一：Interest is as vital to learning as the ability to understand 互联网对于学习极端重要，就像理解能力对于学习极端重要一样，互联网甚至比理解能力更加重要。

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?

The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils（灾祸）.

People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions （反应）toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.

Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.
Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.

The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.

A. cultural values B. commercial purposes

Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
