Part VWriting (15%)

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic \composition on the outline given in Chinese below:

1．简要地介绍你的一位朋友； 2．你怀念他／她的原因。 参考答案： 选作题I：

Part I Dialogue Communication

1．B2．B3．D4．B5．B6．B7．B8．D9．Dl0．A11．Bl2．Al3．Al4．Al5．C Part IReading Comprehension Passage l 1．B事实细节题。第一段中提到林肯总统当时受到了很多批评，而且一点也不受欢迎。criti—cal“批评的，爱挑剔的”，所以A不对。

2．C推理判断题。根据文章第一段的第五句，人们之所以出于礼貌请他做演讲，就是因为他是总统。

3．B推理判断题。从第二段可知，林肯是在路上写的演讲稿，并且当晚只是“briefly(简单地)”修改了一下。由此可推断出他当时很忙，没有充足的准备时间。

4．D事实细节题。由三、四段可知，尽管林肯的演讲最初并未成功，但这篇简短的演说后来深入人心，不能说是彻底的失败。

5．D事实细节题。根据最后一句话，林肯的演讲是美国历史上最伟大的演讲之一，但并未说是最伟大的演讲，所以选D。 Passage 2

6．D归纳概括题。写此文的目的可从文章的内容概括出来。文章第一段讲的是当代人们过分信任计算机；第二段讲人类应该依赖自己的大脑，不应把计算机看作是思考技能的替代品。综上可知防止人们盲目地信任计算机才是本文的写作目的。 7．A事实细节题。由第二段可知，作者在建议人们应依靠自己的大脑，对待计算机要持ques—tioning(敢于怀疑)的态度并采取double check(仔细检查)的手段。所以选A，意思是要持理性怀疑态度，也就是不要盲目地完全依赖它。作者并没有说完全不信任计算机，要 逐一核对答案，这样计算机恐怕真的要扔掉了，所以B曲解了作者的用意。C(用电脑代替人脑)是作者在文中最反对的；D(仅将电脑用于商业)太片面了。

8．B推理判断题。人类自己所拥有的“内部计算机”当然是指大脑以及大脑内所存储的知识了。这也体现了作者反对用电脑代替人脑的写作目的。 9．D事实细节题。0ver—trusting“过分信任的”。正如作者在第一段第三句所述，人类对待计算机的问题主要在于过分相信它并不愿挑战它的权威性。challengin9“挑战的”；psy-chological“心理的”；dramatic“戏剧性的”。

10．D推理判断题。此类题须弄清作者的真正意图。正如前面所述，作者提倡的并不是完全不信任计算机，而是不要盲目地完全依赖它。A、B、C三项都是以不同方式使用计算机，而作者并未完全否定计算机的使用，所以这三项都不能选。只有D(完全依赖计算机)才是作者不赞成的。 Passage 3

11．C推理判断题。可用排除法。开篇第一句已清楚地说明游过英吉利海峡至少要九小时，所以A说少于四小时是不对的；第一段最后一句中有一个非常重要的词，就是again。既然是again就说明建隧道、修大桥已不是新想法了，B也随之被淘汰；根据文章第二段第一句，隧道可直达伦敦，不只到海岸线，D也排除了。而C是正确的，游过去当然要比坐船、乘飞机困难多了。
