注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
单词部分，依旧考察了形容词、名词的拼写和动名词的使用，关键是由介词引起的动词-ing的变化，稍给题目增加些难度。36. curious，38. independent，39. unusual，42. abstract 是前面系动词引起的填写形容词的情况；41. formal 是形容词来修饰后面的名词；较难部分是37和40题，分别是介词at 和by 引起后面动词变-ing 的情况，如果考生还很恍惚不知怎样填，可以看到37前and 并列的finding 和40 前and 并列的paying attention to，就可判断出这两处是填写动名词的情况。43很显然是填写名词，但是考生是否能顺利听出mystery并且拼写正确？
句子部分，注意拼写appropriately和concepts，refining不易听出，是原型refine 的-ing形式。复合式听力的后三句子，是听力考试各题型中难度最高也是最能展示考生英语水平的题目，在这里还是希望同学们在掌握考试技巧的同时，课下多加练习，英语毕竟是能力的培养，我们考英语四级，也是为了证明自己的英语水平。
Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter, more (36)curious, less afraid of what he doesn’t know, better at finding and (37)figuring things out, more confident, resourceful(机敏的), persistent and (38)independent than he will ever be again in his schooling-or, unless he is very (39)unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life. Already, by paying close attention to and (40)interacting with the world and people around him, and without any school-type (41)formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and (42)abstract than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the (43)mystery of language. He has discovered it-babies don’t even know that language exists-and (44)and he has found how it works and learnt to use it appropriately.
He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, (45)by trying it out and seeing whether it works, by changing (developing)it, refining it until it does work. And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, (46) including many of the concepts that schools think only they can teach them , and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.
