totheresearcherswashowfewpeoplewouldspendmoneyontime-savingservices.可知选B。4.词义猜测题。根据“Onereason,”saidWhillans,“isthatwe’reverybadatrememberinghowmuchwehatedoingcertaintasksoncethesufferinghaspassed.Thatmakesuslesslikelytotakeactivestepstoavoidthatoverburdenedfeelinginthefuture.”可知选D.7答案及解析：答案：1.A;2.C;3.B;4.C解析：1.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“...thoughttohavebeenbuiltaround4,500yearsago.”和第二段第三句中的whichisbelievedtohavebeencompleted3,500yearsago”可知,超级巨石阵比巨石阵早了1000年。2.细节理解题.根据第二段中的“...isthelargestsurvivingstonemonument...thathaseverbeendiscoveredinBritainandpossiblyinEurope”12可知,C项与题意相符。3.词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“Someofthestonesarethoughttohavestood15feettallbeforetheywere..."中的tohavestood可推断,该词应该是“倒塌;使倒塌”的意思,所以选B项。4.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“...mayhavehadabrother.Amuchbigger,olderbrother.”可知,文章主要讲述的是巨石阵还有一个“大哥哥”的事情,故选C项。8答案及解析：答案：1.C;2.D;3.A;4.C;5.D;6.B;7.A;8.B;9.A;10.B;11.D;12.C;13.A;14.A;15.D;16.C;17.B;18.D;19.C;20.B解析：1.词语辨析题。此处指玩有中国字的卡片。character“字,字母”;custom“风俗”;game“游戏”;language“语言”。2.习语搭配题。但是我把它们推到一边。pushsth.aside意为“把某物放置一边”,符合句意。3.逻辑推理题。我母亲相信在我准备好的时候,我会学的。“在……时”用when。4.逻辑推理题。但是这一“时刻”(time)从未到来。5.逻辑推理题。由于我没学汉语,所以当叔叔跟我说汉语时,我只是盯着他,非常迷惑,直挠头。stareat意为“盯着看”,符合句意。6.词语辨析题。叔叔应该是嘲笑我不会说汉语,在唐人街连鱼都买不到。laughat“嘲笑”,符合句意。careabout“关心”;arguewith“争论”;askafter“询问”。7.逻辑推理题。为了回应叔叔的嘲笑,我应该说:“我会立刻去买一些鱼而不说汉语。”rightnow“立刻,马上”;fromnow后需接on构成短语,意为“从现在开始”;attimes“有时”;intime“及时”。8.逻辑推理题。要出去买鱼,应该征得母亲的允许(permission),故选B。9.词语辨析题。结合语境,我应该是重复这些话。repeat“重复”;review“复习”;spell“拼写”;keep“保持”。10.背景常识题。此处stand为名词,指“(卖鱼的)货摊”。11.逻辑推理题。由后文的“...turnedtoservethenext12customer.”以及其他顾客的嘲笑可知,他应该是“不理会”(ignored)我说的英语。12.词语辨析题。随着他们的不耐烦,他们的笑声越来越大。with意为“随着”。13.逻辑推理题。句意:随着时间的过去……四个选项中只有second表时间,意为“秒”,被嘲笑的人应该是每一秒钟都非常难过,故选A项。14.逻辑推理题。由前文可知,后面排队的人越来越多了,迫使我大声喊。force意为“逼迫”。15.逻辑推理题。由前文提到的大家的大笑可知,作者的脸应该是变得“通红”(red)。16.逻辑推理题。由后文提到的手里紧紧地抓着20美元可知,此刻的他是空手(empty-handed)回去了。17.习语搭配题。同是中国人,我应该有宾至如归的感觉。feelrightathome“有宾至如归的感觉”。18.词语辨析题。有时我嘲笑我的买鱼事件。incident“事情,发生的事情”(常指小事)。trade“贸易,商业”;deed“事迹”;challenge“挑战”。19.逻辑推理题。由前文可知,这是有关“我”的笑话。20.逻辑推理题。由前文可知,作者不会说汉语,每一句嘲笑都应该是笑作者“丢失了”(lost)祖先的文化。9答案及解析：答案：friends;wisdom;It;in;thinking;tolove;morequickly;passes;wonderful;that解析：1. 句意:近12年来,他是我最好的朋友之一。“oneof+最高级+名词复数”表示“最……的……之一”,由于有oneof修饰,其后的名词应用复数形式。故填friends。2. 句意:从我第一次见到他的那一天起,他就以他的忠诚、善良、智慧和爱心赐福于我的生活。设空处前后的loyalty,kindness，love都是名词,与设空处共同作with的宾语,因此,设空处也应用名词。故填wisdom。3. 句意:对我来说,他有四条腿而不是两条腿,他有皮毛而不是衣服,他对着我吠叫,而不是和我说话,这没关系。Itdoesn’tmattertosb.that…为固定句型,其中that引导主语从句,It为形式主语,故填It。4. 句意:当我看着我的朋友在阳光下睡觉时,我不禁想起他给我的生活带来的所有好处。inthesun为固定短语,意为“在阳光下”。故填in。5. 句意:当我看着我的朋友在阳光下睡觉时,我不禁想起他给我的生活带来的所有好处。can’thelpdoingsth.为固定搭配,意为“禁不住做某事”。故填thinking。126. 句意:他总是提醒我,我是被人爱的,并同时告诉我如何去爱别人。showedme后接宾语,为“疑问词+不定式”结构。故填tolove。7. 句意:我的朋友比我老得快得多,而且这些年来他的健康问题来越多。根据空后的than可知,此处含有比较意义,应用比较级。quickly的比较级为morequickly。8. 句意:我不确定在他离开这个世界之前我们还会在一起多久。before引导时间状语从句,主句为将来时,表示将来的动作,从句应用一般现在时表将来;从句的主语为第三人称单数he,故填passes。9. 修饰名词dog,应用形容词。故填wonderful。10. 分析句子结构可知,understand后有两个宾语从句,设空处为第二个宾语从句的引导词,从句中不缺主谓宾等成分且意义完整,设空处只在句中起连接作用。故填that并且不能省略。10答案及解析：答案：

考査固定用法。根据句意可知,此处应使用Worsestill(更糟糕的是)来表示上下文之间的递进关系。④ 考査主谓一致。主语freshwater为不可数名词,故谓语动词应改为第三人称单数形式。⑤ 考査介词。besides作介词,意为“除……之外(还)”,符合语境。⑥ 考査动词的语态。主语water与pollute在逻辑上是被动关系.且此处为现在完成时,故应使用其被动语态hasbeenpolluted。⑦ 考査形容试。形容词修饰名词,此处uncontrolleddischargeofindustrialwastes指“工业废水不受控制的排放”uncontrolled不受控制的。⑧ 考査定语从句。“介同+关系代词”引导定语从句时,指物用of+which;指人用of+whom。⑨ 考查名词。aware是形容词,此处应改为其名词形式awareness作动词heighten的宾语。⑩考査冠词。thelastdropofwater指“最后一滴水”,water是不可数名词,表示泛指意义时其前不加冠词。12
