Today, students who want to learn English in the U.S. have a wide choice of courses and institutions to choose from. And, because the U.S. is such a big country, they also have a huge (36) variety of locations in which to study. The U.S. has a long (37) tradition of teaching English because, (38) throughout its history, the country has welcomed immigrants from all over the world, most of whom have needed to (39) learn English. Today, the English language teaching sector in the U.S. is well (40)developed and its teachers are highly(41)qualified and experienced.
American universities and colleges welcome many thousands of(42)overseas students each year, who(43) enroll on degree or postgraduate courses. Most of these institutions provide preparation courses for students(44) who need to improve their English before they start university study. These courses are called Intensive English Language Programs and(45) they are the most common type of course taken by overseas students.
In addition to language tuition, Intensive English Language Programs give students (46) the chance to get to know the school where they will be studying, and become more familiar with the American academic environment.
Part ⅣReading Comprehension(Reading in Depth)
Section A
47. F 此处需填入一个动词原形，可选范围缩小到A、C、F、H、M和N，冒号后面的内容，显然是在对marginal land进行定义，故答案为F。
48. B 此处需要填入一个名词或动名词，可选范围缩小到A、B、C、I、J、K、M和N，根据前半句the last to be planted under good conditions marginal land肯定是首先要放弃的，故正确答案为B。
49. J 此处需要填入一个名词，形容词或相当于形容词功能的词来修饰soil，后面谈到的是自然和地理条件，因此这里应该填一个表示土壤质量的词。
50. E 此处需要填入一个形容词，名词或动词的现在或过去分词作表语，由于连接词是“or”，后面谈到的是不好的地理环境，那么这里肯定是雨水不足，正确答案为E。
51. A 此处需要填入一个名词或动名词作宾语，根据文章意思，草肯定是为食草动物提供了优质的饲料，因此正确答案为A。
52. K 此处需要填入一个形容词来修饰grasses,根据本句与foreign的对比逻辑关系可确定答案为K。
53. N 此处需要填入一个名词，根据下文cattle对marginal land的破坏可确定正确答案为N。
54. D 此处需要填入一个形容词，根据下文的描述可知，这里是指一个有效的方法，因此正确答案为D。
55. L 此处需要填入一个动词的过去分词，后面的内容是这项研究的成果，所以答案是L。
56. H 此处需要填入一个动词原形，根据a marginal resource into a highly productive one的鲜明对比可知这是一种转换，故正确答案为H。
Section B
Passage One
57. C 综合归纳题文章最后一段的第二句话是一个反问句，“cheap”“disposable”正是塑料制品的特点。A)、B)、D)三个选项都与其无关，所以答案是C。
58. C 关于塑料的分类，第一段主要谈了两种，一种是按照制作方法分成三类，另一种是按照是否可变形分成两类。四个选项中，C)项概括了第二种分类，而D)项的概括是不完整的;A)项和B)项则是错误的。
59. D 细节题由第二段最后一句可知A)项是错误的;而第一句证明C)项是不准确的。此外，第一段最后一句说明B)项的概括是不全面的。只有D)项可以通过第二段第一句证明是正确的。
60. C 综合判断题A)项的依据在第二段开头：“plastics have struggled through a hundred and twenty years of glory, failure, disrepute and suspicion…”说明塑料工业的发展经历了沉沉浮浮(ups and downs)。B)项可以在第二段第二句找到依据：“they make modern life…more comfortable and convenient…”。D)项的依据在本文最后一句：“…a great part of the fun of collecting plastics is that beautiful pieces of historical interest can still be found very cheap.”而C)项，否认有塑料古董的存在，这与第三段第一句中“the fact that there are plastic antiques”相矛盾，因此是错误的。
61. A 语义判断题“sympathetic”这个单词一般情况下被理解成“表示同情的”，但是这篇文章主要讨论塑料的作用，与情感无关，所以首先排除B)项。“Plastics are warm materials, sympathetic to the human touch”，本句中前提是“塑料是暖性材料”，只有A)项才符合这个前提。
