"Comprehension Reading" Part:

Passage A
81. At the beginning of the passage, the author indicate that
A. Amsterdam is generally known as a quiet city.
B. parties go on all day long in Amsterdam
C. Amesterdam presents 2 different pictures.
D. Amesterdam affects many daytime visitors.
(網(wǎng)絡(luò)常見的答案是C，解釋也合情合理，"When the sun is up, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River. You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi. But when the sun goes down, the partying begins. In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke"，本人選了A，因?yàn)楫?dāng)時(shí)以為它的so-called "beginning" 只是第一段)

82. Which tourist attraction is ?
A. Royal Palace
B. Dam Square
C. Club Paralise
D. magna Plaza
（這道題目應(yīng)該爭議不大，選B，談Dam Square具有兩重娛樂性）

83. According to the passage, the local ppl have all the following characteristics EXCEPT
A. they're party goers
B. they show hospitality
C. they can speak English
D. they are fond of cycling
(常見答案是A，本人也是選這個(gè)，但還是有些爭議，Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions. And you'll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles，稍微理解一下，個(gè)人認(rèn)為這道題目應(yīng)該就是這個(gè)答案)

84. Which of the following adjectives can best describe Amsterdam as a tourist city?
A. modern
B. delightful
C. quiet
D. historic
(OK，the biggest problem comes!這道題爭議最大，網(wǎng)絡(luò)答案無非是兩個(gè)，B和D，本人選的是D，但細(xì)想一下，D還是不夠概括吧，并且某位大哥胸有成竹地說，這篇文章的原題目就是Delightful Amsterdam)

Part B
85. The purpose of the first sentence in P1 is
A. to describe the work of some Chinese scholars
B. to arouse readers' interest in hieroghypics
C. to lead readers onto the main theme
D. to link the preceding part to the present one
(這道題目應(yīng)該比較簡單，本人選C，和群眾大多相同，爭議不大)

86. We learn from the passage, all English dictionaries include
A. legends
B. mythology
C. word origin
D. word definitions
（同樣簡單題，或者說常識題，選D）

87. The example of is to show
A. how the word came into existence
B. how Tantalus was punished in the lower world
C. how all English dictionaries show word origins
D. how the meaning of the word changed over the years
（我選了D，但應(yīng)該是錯(cuò)了，答案應(yīng)該是A，我忘了這個(gè)例子到底是怎樣敘述的，不過細(xì)想一下，應(yīng)該是自己錯(cuò)了，不大應(yīng)該，屬于簡單題來的）

88. According to the passage, which of the following dose NOT have origins in myths or legends?
A. Jovial
B. Wednesday
C. Earth
D. March
（選C，記得比較清楚，它談來除了地球之外，其他星球和星期月份都有自己的神話起源）

89. Which of the following best serve as the title of the passage
A. Greek and Roman Mythology in Language
B. Mythological Origins of English Words
C. Historical Chages in Word Meanings
D. Mythology and Common Words
(選B，屬于概括題，粗略讀懂文章應(yīng)該就是明白，爭議不大)

Part C
90. The author was held in the airport because
A. she and her husband returned for Jamaica
B. her name was similar to a terrorist's
c. she had been held in Mentreal
D. she had spoke at a book event
("Miss, your name looks like the name of someone who's on our wanted list."選B，爭議不會很大吧)

91. She was not allowed to call her friends because
A. her identity hadn't been confirmed yet
B. she had been held for only one hour and a half
C. there were other families in the waiting room
D. she couldn't use her own cell phone
（選A，其實(shí)A也沒有在文章正面說明，只是其他三個(gè)太假了點(diǎn)，"For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information."）

92. We learn from the passage that the author would ___ to prevent similar experience from happening again
A. write to the agency
B. change her name
C. avoid travelling abroad
D. do nothing
（簡單題，選D。沒有爭議。"What can I do to keep it from happening again?"He smiled the empty smile we'd seen all day. "Absolutely nothing."）

93. Her experiences indicate that there still exits ___ in the US
A. hatred
B. discrimination
C. tolerance
D. diversity
（選B，真希望每道題都像這樣的~）

94. The author sounds ___ in the last paragraph.
A. impatient
B. bitter
C. worried
D. ironic
（Another big trouble,我選了D，但是坊間有還有一個(gè)B的呼聲，其實(shí)理解起來都可以，但是我也不很確定，I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.。稍微傾向于自己錯(cuò)了）

Part D
95. Women hate public speech mainly because of
A. their upbringing very early on
B. their inablity to appeal to the audience
C. their sense of greater public pressure
D. their sense of greater humiliation
（最后一篇應(yīng)該是有一定難度，倒不是因?yàn)槲恼卤旧?，而是問題問得有點(diǎn)無聊，此題我選了C，但綜合考慮后，還是應(yīng)該是覺得選A，A答案后面還有點(diǎn)什么，網(wǎng)絡(luò)上找不到。字面上來分析C，"公眾壓力的感覺" Women hate it most, since girls are pressurized from an early age to be concerned with appearances of all kinds."C好象對不上號了）

96. "this" in P2 refers to
A. insecurity
B. sense of failure
C. public speaking
D. pressure
（我選了A，很愚蠢的一個(gè)選擇，有一部分人說選B，但我想了一下，也不對，我確定應(yīng)該是選C。Most people have plenty of insecurities, and this seems like a situation that will bring them out。簡單分析一下，大部分有許多不安全感，THIS就如同一個(gè)會把它們，也就是這些不安全感，全部帶出來的地方。SO，A應(yīng)該是合情合理的。）

97. Which of the following is NOT the author's viewpoint?
A. Acting like performers spoils the message in a speech
B. Perfection of scripts is necessary in making good impressions
C. Acting naturally means less dependence on the prepraed script
D. These should be a balance between actual acting and actual naturally
（Thank goodness! 終于有一道比較容易的了，選B，Actual acting, as in performing the scripted lines of a character other than yourself, does not do the job。A script rarely works and it is used as a crutch by most people.）

98. What's the author's view on pernality?
A. Personality is the key to success in public speaking
B. Extrovers are better public speakers
C. Introverts have to learn harder to be good speakers
D. Factors other than personality ensure better performance
（相對簡單的一題，In fact, personality is not the best predictor of who does it well，選D）

99. The author implies that while speaking RD Laing
A. was both too casual and authentic
B. was acting like a perfomer
C. was keeping a good balance
D. was aware of his audience
（分歧很大的又一題，我選了A，貌似正確，但群眾很多意見竟然都選B，搞不大清，我不覺得我一定錯(cuò)了，但可能性比較大一點(diǎn)，he seemed to be exhibiting rather than explaining it.）

100. In the last paragraph the author recommneds that
A. you foget about your nevousness
B. you feel natural and speak naturally
C. you may feel nervous, but appear naturally
D. you may imagine yourself to be natural
（個(gè)人認(rèn)為是閱讀里面最為無聊的一題，我選了D，但有部分人選C，我覺得我是正確的。The best psychological place from which to speak is an unselfconscious self-consciousness, providing the illusion of being natural。）
