The most common age without parents consent is eighteen for both females and males. However, persons who are under age in their home state can get married in another state, and then return to the home state legally married. Each state issues its own marriage license. Both residents and nonresidents are qualified for such a license. The fees and ceremonies vary greatly from state to state. Most states, for instance, have a blood test requirement, but a few do not. Most states permit either a civil or religious ceremony, but a few require the ceremony to be religious. In most states, a waiting period is required before the license is issued. This period is from one to five days depending on the state. A three-day wait is the most common. In some states, theres no required waiting period.PART  LISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A  STATEMENT1.

It is true that no pressure, no motivation. But, how about much more pressure? Different people have different views of point. As for me, I firmly think too much pressure in essence prevents people from achieving academic accomplishment rather than do good to us.The causes are obvious. Firstly, in our opening society, people have to acquaint with a vast number of new things so as to obtain better lives, which request them transfering more times from academic studies to other fields, lessening their academic pressure. Secondly, more pressure from academic studies will make people produce mental problems such as stress and qualm, in the long run, which will make academic studies become impossible.Therefore in my opinion, those who would achieve academic accomplishment must not be given more pressure. It is a good academic air that does good to us.SECTION B参考范文Dear Victoria,We write to apologize for having unintentionally neglected to invite you, our close friend, to show up our party. As you know, we take on an emergent task when the party is coming.

sth.意为“努力做某事，计划做某事”，try doing sth.意为“试着做某事”，这里是说学校计划推出一种新的体育运动，故应该选“try to do sth.”的一般式。27答案：A【试题分析】本题考查介词的用法。【详细解答】根据句意，此处是指在足球和棒球两个赛季之间，“在（两者）之间”应选 between；during指“在的期间”。28答案：B【试题分析】本题为动词词义及用法辨析题。【详细解答】rouse意为“唤起”(情感等) ，为短暂性动词，不与表示时间段的状语连用；hold与interest搭配，意为“维持，吸引”；have常用于 have interest in sth.；这里是说“一般性的室内运动都不能长久地吸引人们的兴趣”，由于这里有一个时间状语“for long”，说明谓语动词应该是一个延续性动词，故选项B为正确答案。29答案：A【试题分析】本题为动词词义辨析题。【详细解答】imitate意为“模仿”，指模仿一事物的特点、功用用于另一事物；adopt意为“采纳，采用”；adapt意为“改编，改造”；renovate意为“改革，革新，翻新”。本句意为“起初他试图模仿一些流行的户外运动”，因此选项A为正确答案。30答案：A【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对并列结构的掌握。【详细解答】由于所填词前有and，故此部分与前部分(were getting bruised from tackling each other)之间为并列关系。所以此处应是being hit，与前面的getting bruised并列。31答案：C【试题分析】本题为动词意义及用法辨析题。【详细解答】request意为“(某人)请求，要求”；use意为“使用，利用”，主语也要求是某人；take常用的有“it take sb. + 时间(金钱)”，表示“某人花费多少时间(金钱)做某事”；require意为“需要”，主语可以是人也可以是物。根据句子结构，选项C为正确答案。32答案：A【试题分析】本题考查对固定搭配的掌握。【详细解答】根据后面的名词an elevated goal，能与decide搭配的只有on，decide onupon意思是“对作出决定，确定”。 33答案：B【试题分析】本题为名词词义辨析题。【详细解答】power表示“权力”、“动力”；strength表示“(人或动物所拥有的)气力，力量，力气”；force表示“（发出的)力量，作用力，武力”等；might表示“(巨大的)力量；威胁；能力”等。根据句子结构，所缺的单词应与skill“技巧”相对，由于体育运动通常可以划分为技巧型运动和力量型运动，所以应选strength。34答案：A【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查非谓语动词的用法。【详细解答】这里的fixed引导的过去分词短语作非限制性定语，应置于其所修饰的名词two peach baskets之后，意为“被固定在体育馆两端十英尺高的台面上的两个下空篮框。”35答案： D【试题分析】本题为词语辨析题。【详细解答】由于此句中谓语动词用的是was，主语必须是单数，所以应排除选项A和B。way意为“方式，方法”， idea意为“想法”，根据上下文，此处是指篮球运动设计的意图，因此应选D。36答案：C【试题分析】本题考查形容词的用法。【详细解答】few和many修饰可数名词，而much和little修饰不可数名词，many of意思是“许多”，表肯定，而few of意思是“极少，几乎没有”，表否定。本句中的which指rules，为可数名词，句意为肯定，故只能选many。37答案：B【试题分析】本题考查对固定搭配的掌握。【详细解答】with effect意为“有效地”；be in (full) effect意为“正在实行”；on与effect搭配时常用have an effect on，意为“对有影响，对起作用”；for effect意为“装门面”。这里是说许多篮球规则虽然有些小的变化，但仍在实行，因此答案选B。38答案：B【试题分析】本题为动词辨析题。【详细解答】 define意为“限定；弄明确”； spread意为“传播，散布”； teach常用于teach sb. sth. 或 teach sth. to sb.，意为“教某人某事”；discuss意为“讨论，议论”，常用discuss with sb。这里是说“学生将这项运动传播到他们的朋友中去”，因此答案选B。39. 答案：D【试题分析】本题考查对固定搭配的掌握。【详细解答】go on意为“继续”；take on意为“呈现，显现”；put on指“(戏剧、表演等)上演(在舞台上)；显示”； catch on意为“受欢迎”。这里是说“这项新的体育活动很快流行起来”，因此选项D为正确答案。40.

VOCABULARY41答案：C【参考译文】你总是不停地问我一些愚蠢的问题，叫我怎能集中注意力呢?【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对时态的掌握。【详细解答】本句中的continually意为“再三地，连续地”，表示动作在一定时期内连续不断地发生，要用进行时。由于主句用的是现在时，为保持一致从句也应用现在时，故选项C为正确答案。42答案：B【参考译文】看完那盘录像带后，别忘了把它放到我的抽屉里，好吗?【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对反意疑问句的掌握。【详细解答】如果一个句子的前半句为祈使句，祈使句后面的附加疑问句常用will you或wont you，而不用助动词形式do you或dont you。由于此句中祈使句是否定形式，附加疑问句应是肯定，故用will you。43答案：A【参考译文】他留下命令，在警察到来之前，不得碰任何东西。【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对虚拟语气的掌握。【详细解答】当that从句充当order，command等表示说话人的强烈要求、建议、命令的名词性从句(宾语从句或同位语从句)时，从句谓语应用“should+动词原形”或只用动词原形。故此题应选A。44答案：D【参考译文】怀特先生在一家化学制品进出口公司工作，但他目前在休假，正在为此次工业展览会工作。【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对时态的掌握。【详细解答】根据句意，谓语应用现在进行时，表示现在正在进行的动作。45答案：C【参考译文】这位物理学家取得了一项发现，在我看来，这一发现对于科技进步具有十分重要的意义。【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对非限制性定语从句的掌握。【详细解答】that一般不引导非限制性定语从句，which与it重复。故答案只能选C。46答案：B【参考译文】尽管他作出了令人瞩目的贡献，但还是乐于接受来自不同方面的意见。【试题分析】本题考查对习惯用法的掌握。【详细解答】 for all常用来引导让步性短语，表示“尽管，虽然”。由于介词短语作让步状语可放于句首，故选项B为正确答案。47答案：D【参考译文】该小组能处理一切需要处理的事情。【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查关系代词的用法。【详细解答】 whatever为关系代词，相当于anything that，引导宾语从句作动词“handle”的宾语，同时 whatever又在从句中作主语，故that，which 或it都是多余的，只有选项D由实义动词need加不定式的被动式构成，表被动，符合语法及句意。48答案：C【参考译文】方便时就来看我。【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对状语从句的掌握。【详细解答】whenever引导的时间状语从句，用一般现在时表将来；同时表示“你方便时”英语中说when it is convenient to you，而不是when you are convenient。故选项C为正确答案。49答案：A【参考译文】他称自己为一名医生，而且作为一名医生他颇受欢迎。【试题分析】本题为短语用法辨析题。【详细解答】 as such意为“就以这种身份(或资格)，作为这样的(人或物)，照此”；such as意为“像那样的；例如”； so that意为“以便，为了”；没有as that这种搭配。根据句意，选项A为正确答案。50答案：B【参考译文】我从未去过伦敦，但那却是我最想参观的城市。【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对定语从句的掌握。【详细解答】city后面跟一个定语从句，起限定作用，意思是“我最想去参观的城市”，引导从句的关系词在从句中作visit的宾语，故只能选B或C。而C项中的mostly为副词，意为“主要地，大部分”，用在此处不合题意；B项省略了省去了充当visit宾语的关系词 which，为正确答案。51答案：C【参考译文】要不是被人叫走，我就会发言的。【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对虚拟语气的掌握。【详细解答】本题主句中的waswere to have done表示“本来要做成某事的(结果却未做成)”，表示与过去事实相反，if从句中应用had done构成的虚拟语气与之相配。故选项C为正确答案。52答案：B【参考译文】我感到身体不够强壮，所以还不能出国旅行。【试题分析】本题考查副词的用法。【详细解答】 tooto为一固定否定搭配，意为“太以至于不能”。
