填空题
1. Architect Toyo Ito strives to design spaces that seem "aqueous," creating environments wherein objects appear to ------ .
(A) fly (B) float (C) shrink (D) smolder (E) collide
解题标志词：逗号+creating (动词 ing 形式，插入成分)
解析：插入成分的题目前后互为同义重复，creating 前面的内容为“建筑师 Toyo Ito努力想设计出看起来如水般的空间”(Architect Toyo Ito strives to design spacesthat seem “aqueous,”) 最关键的线索词是aqueous。所以 B. 漂浮，悬浮为正确答案。A(飞，起飞)C(收缩，缩水)D(文火闷烧，慢燃;郁积)E(碰撞，冲突)
2. Although it is often difficult to -------- someone as charming as Hank, his colleagues can no
longer overlook his------ .
(A) )dislike .. achievements
(B) criticize .. indiscretions
(C)tolerate .. offenses
(D) admire .. obligations
(E) excuse .. resolutions
解题标志词：although(反义重复的转折)
解析：反义重复的转折的题目前后互为反义，HANK 有魅力，所以很难批评才对。所以两空全选 charming的反向意思，即负评价词。A. (成就)B(批评，不明智之举)C(攻击，冒犯)D(义务，债务)E(决心)，正确答案是B。
3. The scrapbooks compiled by artist and historian William Dorsey are so - --------- that they constitute------view of Philadelphia's African American community between 1873 and 1903.
(A) inventive .. a constricted
(B) extensive .. a comprehensive
(C) authentic .. an imaginative
(D) compelling .. an inconsequential
(E) prosaic .. a vibrant
解题标志词：so…that…如此…以至于…(因果关系)
解析：因果关系的题目前后互为同义重复，故两空选择近义词， A(发明的，别出心裁的;收缩的，受限制的)B(广泛的，大量的;综合的，广泛的)C(真实的，可信的;虚构的，富有想象力的)D(引起兴趣的，强制的;不重要的)E(乏味的，平凡的;充满生机的，响亮的)所以 B为正确答案。
4. Patricia is so---------- that she is unable to tolerate others deviating in the least from rules and conventions.
(A) importunate (B) facile
(C) unshakable (D) punctilious (E) complaisant
解题标志词：so…that…如此。。。以至于。。。(因果关系)
解析：因果关系的题目前后互为同义重复，选择同义词，选择“她不能忍受别人哪怕一点偏离规则和惯例的行为”(she is unable to tolerate others deviating in the least from rules and conventions)的同义词，A(强求的，纠缠不休的)B(温和的)C(坚定不移的)D(谨言慎行的，一丝不苟的)E(顺从的，彬彬有礼的)，所以正确答案选 D。
5. Unlike Colin, whose ------------for dramatic presentation captivated his audiences, Nick was not ------------ speaker.
(A) flair .. a temperate
(B) contempt.. a charismatic
(C) penchant.. an unskilled
(D) faculty .. an engaging
(E) antipathy .. an incisive
解题标志词：unlike 和。。。不同(反义重复的转折)
解析：标志词 unlike 和 not，题目主干“不像 Colin，nick 不是一个-----的演说家”，unlike 和 not 的作用相互抵消，所以二空要填的词应该和 Colin 的特点是一样的。Colin 的特点是有吸引力，所以一空应该填一个正评价词。第一个空 A(才能),C(偏好),D(能力)都表示 Colin 有吸引观众的才能，所以答案选 D(本领，吸引人的)。
6. Although Elayne helped to ---------- the defendant by supporting his alibi, she unwittingly ----------- herself with her testimony.
(A) chastise … disparaged
(B) admonish... entangled
(C) exonerate ... implicated
(D) denounce... incriminated
(E) acquit.. .absolved
解题标志词：although(反义重复的转折)
解析：反义重复的转折的题目前后互为反义，一空前后的 help 和 support 都是正向词，所以一空填正向动作，二空填负向动作。故 C(免责;卷入)正确。其他选项 A(惩罚，责骂;蔑视，诽谤)B(告诫，劝告;卷入，纠缠)D(谴责;控告，暗示有罪)E(无罪释放;免罪)
7. Stewart O'Nan's novels are aptly described as------- each is noticeably unlike its predecessor in style, tone, and narrative approach.
(A) disparate (B) preeminent
(C) strident (D) ftilsome (E) prescient
解题标志词：: (同义重复的冒号)
解析：同义重复的冒号类型，冒号前后为同义重复，找到关键词 unlike 和空格重复，A(不同的，相异的)B(卓越的，超群的)C(尖锐的，刺耳的)D(过度的)E(预知的，有先见之明的)，所以正确答案是 A。
8. The picture book Red Sings from Treetops------------ the changing season,s, with whimsical illustrations that ----- the colors, sounds, and tastes associated with different times of the year.
(A) perpetuates.. praise
(B) provokes .. detail
(C) celebrates .. castigate
(D) inaugurates .. belie
(E) evokes .. epitomize
解题标志词：that (同义重复的从句)
解析：主语这本书----变换的季节(the changing seasons)，that 后要选的动词的主语还是这本书，Changing seasons 和 different times of the year 同意重复，所以动词也应为近义词，故 E(唤起，以缩影展示)。其它选项 A(保持，使不朽;赞美，赞扬)B(激怒，煽动;详述)C(赞美;严惩，修正)D(举行就职典礼，创新;掩饰，使失望)。
篇章阅读
Passage 1
For those of us who wish to preserve the planet's diversity of species, high-tech, chemically assisted agriculture is an environmentalist's best friend. That's right. Soaring growth in human population threatens to destroy most of the world's remaining rain forests, wetlands, and mountain ecosystems, drastically reducing species diversity. Despite advances in chemical-free farming techniques, overreliance on these practices will result in the plowing down of forests to feed a global populationthat is estimated to double by 2050. Environmentalists must face the fact that unless high-yield crop varieties, pesticides, and fertilizers are widely used in developing nations, the world's food supply will be outstripped by spiraling demand. This will mean more forests falling under the plow.
Passage 2
I couldn't agree more that it's crucial to step up agricultural productivity to feed a spiraling globalpopulation. My quarrel is with how to intensify agriculture, not whether it should be intensified. The paramount concern must be to increase crop yields in environmentally sensitive ways that protect human health and the soil and water that are agriculture's very foundation. Heavy use of agrochemicals can bring high yields in the short run, but the cumulative damages may be considerable. Those of us whose research demonstrates that resource-conserving fanning practices can be just as productive as the chemical-intensive kind contend that the goal should be efficient use of chemicals, not wide use.
9. Both authors indicate that meeting the world's
food needs should not come at the expense of
(A)innovative farming practices
(B)environmental integrity
(C)humane treatment of animals
(D)food that actually tastes good
(E)economic development
10. The author of Passage 2 would most likely respond to the statement in lines 11-15, Passage 1 ("Environmentalists ... demand"), by arguing that
(A) industrialized nations pose a greater threat to the environment than do developing nations
(B) market forces may help the world's food supply to grow in proportion to demand
(C) many fertilizers are organic substances that produce no ill effccts in humans
(D) agricultural chemicals can be used on a small scale and still significantly improve crop yields
(E) the use of pesticides is unnecessary if high-yield crop varieties are adopted
11. Which best describes the overall relationship between the two passages?
(A) Passage I expresses concern about a situation, while Passage 2 contends that the situation is not so dire.
(B) Passage 1 presents research findings to support an argument, while Passage 2 challenges some of those findings.
(C) Passage 1 focuses on the long-term effects of a policy, while Passage 2 concentrates on the short-term effects.
(D) Passage 1 disputes a position, while Passage 2 provides a historical justification for that position.
(E) Passage 1 presents a solution to a problem, while Passage 2 argues for a modified version of that solution.
12. The authors of both passages would most likely agree that
(A) developing nations depend on chemical- intensive farming techniques
(B) chemical-assisted agriculture increases crop yields significantly
(C) the heavy use of agrochemical’s ultimately protects the environment
(D) banning chemical pesticides will enhance species diversity on the planet
(E) high-tech solutions are less effective than traditional fanning practices
解析:
9. B 解题依据：第 5-7 行，第 22-24 行，表明双篇作者都不希望环境被破坏。
10. D 解题依据：第 27-28 行，“the resource-conserving farming practices can be just as productive as the chemical-intensive kind”表明第二篇文章的作者认为不需要过多的使用农用化学品就可以提高粮食产量。而第 13行提到“widely used”，所以第二篇作者应该对此是反对的。
11. E 解题依据：根据双篇主旨可知，第一篇认为通过大量使用农用化学品可以提高粮食产量，第二篇认为应该适量使用农用化学品，所以是对第一篇文章观点的进一步修正。
12. B 解题依据：第一篇作者认为农用化学品可以提高粮食产量;第二篇作者也认为农用化学品可以提高粮食产量,所以二者对此观点相同。

作文题目
1.Privacy was once valued and protected. Diaries came with locks to keep the writer's privately recorded thoughts from being read by others. Public telephones were enclosed in booths so that conversations would not be overheard. But now people feel free to post information about themselves on social networking Web sites and carry on cell phone conversations in public places. We would be much better off if we valued privacy—our own and that of others—far more highly than we do.
Assignment: Do we place too little value on privacy?
2. Nobody wants to be called old-fashioned or be considered out of touch with current trends and thinking. But there's something to be said for holding on to old ideas and customs, even if they may not be in fashion at the moment. People are too easily impressed by anything new and trendy—the latest television show, or music group, or technological gadget. They place too much emphasis on newness without bothering to look at something's real value.
Assignment：Do people place too much value on newness?
3. We live in an era of individualism. The individual is celebrated and praised in every way—for being special and creative, for making an original contribution, for competing with others to be the best. Nowadays individualism is a guiding idea for many people and has many benefits. But focusing on individuals has caused us to neglect our sense of community, our feeling that we are part of a harmonious group. The importance of belonging to a community has been forgotten.
Assignment：Has the emphasis on individualism in our society caused people to forget the importance of belonging to a community?
4.We live in a world that values action over thought. The idea of taking time to reflect and think things through is out of favor. Our most popular movies and novels focus on action, not reflection, and our most admired public figures are praised for what they do, not for what they think. While there is something to be said for taking action instinctively and without hesitation, the fact is that people put too much emphasis on action.
Assignment：Is it a mistake to value action over thought?
5. Why do we not value the creative arts more than we do? Why are subjects like music. drama, photography, and creative writing always the first to be cut from school budgets during hard times? Many would answer that, unlike math. science. History, and other subjects taught in school，the arts are unnecessary. But this is so untrue. The arts are as necessary as these other subject areas- possibly even more necessary.
Assignment: Is it absolutely necessary for people co study the creative arts?
6. I spent some part of every year at the farm until I was twelve or thirteen years old. The life that I led there was full of charm and so is the memory of it yet. I can call back the faint odors of wildflowers, the sheen of rain-washed foliage. The clatter of raindrops when the wind shook the trees, and the far-off hammering of woodpeckers. I can call back the prairie-and its loneliness and peace. Adapted from Mark Twain. My Auto biography.
Assignment: Is it important for people to spend time outdoors and to learn to appreciate their natural environment?
7. In some circumstances we are encouraged to conform-to follow others, to do and think what everyone else is doing and thinking. In other circumstances, however, we are told to be individuals and are reminded that most people we consider great are not afraid to be different. Conformity may be appropriate in day-to-day life. but we should save our highest praise for people who choose to be unique.
Assignment: Should originality always be more highly praised than conformity?
