Part I Writing
Dear Mark,
You will never guess what I am going to tell you in this letter. I have received the letter of admission from Harvard University. This means I am going to do my doctor degree program this fall in America. After years of hard work, I know have finally realized my dream of being able to work in the most advanced laboratory in the world with the most outstanding top scientists in the field of genetic engineering.
I am now very busy preparing for this trip of utmost importance in my life. I spend most of my time improving my oral and aural English. You know I have a good command of written English. In fact, I have written my papers in English, some of which have been published abroad
already. But my listening and speaking ability of English is far behind. I am afraid that this poor command of listening and speaking will hinder the effective communication once I am abroad. Can you just suggest any good way of improving my oral English skills quickly? I am a bit anxious recently.
Anyway, I will try my best.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Yours,
Li Ming
Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
1. N 本題考察文章的大意,可在做完后面9題后再解答。本文主要介紹有關(guān) robot races 比賽的情況,而不是比賽的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn),故題干表述錯(cuò)誤。
2. N 由原文第二段首句可知,most robots barely managed to get off the starting line,這就說明比賽并不算成功,故題干表述錯(cuò)誤。
3. N 根據(jù)題干中的信息詞 this year's race 和 the Grand Challenge 定位原文第四段 No surprise, then, that 43 teams... 可知題干表述錯(cuò)誤。
4. Y 根據(jù)題干中的信息詞 The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) 定位原文,可知題干表述正確。
5. Y 根據(jù)題干中的信息詞 the aim of the Grand Challenge 定位原文,發(fā)現(xiàn)答案在小標(biāo)題 Unknown Course 下第一段,可知題干表述正確。

8. rugged, real-life conditions。本題內(nèi)容是關(guān)于跑道(course)上設(shè)置的障礙物(obstacles)的,可推知答案在小標(biāo)題 Unknown Course 下,其中第五段給出了答案。
9. Ghostrider。答案在小標(biāo)題 Ghostrider 下第四段。預(yù)讀題干發(fā)現(xiàn) only 這種絕對(duì)化表達(dá),在閱讀文章時(shí)要格外留意。
10. Stanley。答案在全文倒數(shù)第三段末句。此題仍然考查了 only這種絕對(duì)化表達(dá)。
