D.That，that參考答案：D考查從屬連詞和關(guān)系代詞。句意：幾乎所有的行為都是學(xué)來的行為，這是一個基本的被許多社會科學(xué)家提出來的假設(shè)。第一個從句是主語從句，在從句中采用了完整的主系表結(jié)構(gòu)，在不需要補充句子成分的情況下用that，所以排除A、C兩項，而后面的從句是定語從句，先行詞是assumption，所以關(guān)系詞選擇that,B項中的what不能引導(dǎo)定語從句。8.Ithasbeenannouncedthatcandidates_____remainintheirseatsuntilallthepapershavebeencollected.

40.A本文屬于故事類文章。文章通過作者看到一個視頻，一個男孩錄制了自己給一個貧窮家庭的女孩買了一雙名牌鞋子，并把它傳到網(wǎng)上而引發(fā)的感想。作者認為做好事要尊重別人，不能為了自己出名。21.A考查對上下文的理解。昨天我看見一個十幾歲的孩子給他的一個同學(xué)鞋子。是因為前幾天他聽聽他的同學(xué)和媽媽的對話得知媽媽買不起鞋。分析句意可知是聽說這件事，故選A.Saying。22.C考查副詞。tightly緊緊地，堅固地；happily快樂地；clearly清楚地，明確地；warmly

親切地，熱烈地。句意：她母親明確地說她在買不起萬斯的鞋子…。故選C。23.B考查動詞辨析。Change變化，改變；buy買；sell賣；remove去掉。句意：她母親明確地說她買不起鞋子。分析句意可知是買鞋子，故選B。

24.D考查動詞辨析。agreed同意，贊成；needed需要；promised允許，答應(yīng)；decided決定。句意：于是他那天下午決定去萬斯給這個女孩買雙新鞋子。從前面的內(nèi)容“givingshoestooneofhisclassmates.”買了，可知是決定，故選D。25.C考查動詞辨析。makeout制造；lookout提防，小心；makesure確保，確信；takecare當心，小心。根據(jù)本句的邏輯主語是he，分析四個選項可知不選B和D，從后面的句意可知是男孩讓別人幫他錄制，因此選C句意：第二天確保在全班同學(xué)面前錄下他的做的好事。故選C。26.B考查動詞辨析。Threw扔掉；showed給…看；received收到；accepted接受。句意:他把鞋子拿給女孩。Showsth.tosb.把…展示給…看。故選B。27.A考查名詞辨析。advantage有利條件，優(yōu)勢；background背景；.progress進步；difference區(qū)別。從本段后面的內(nèi)容分析可知談的都是這個事件的好的方面，故選A，優(yōu)點。28.D考查名詞。Surprise驚喜；bravery勇敢；sadness悲傷；kindness善意。句意：女孩有了新鞋，而且男孩覺得他的行為是一種善意。男孩幫助女孩得到想要的鞋子是一件好事，故選D。29.C考查副詞。Fortunately幸運地；finally最后；originally起初，原來；generally一般地。句意：但是讓我們來看看一些結(jié)果，這是他可能沒有想到的。根據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容分析是男孩沒想到的，故選C，30.B考查形容詞辨析。disappointed感到失望的；embarrassed尷尬的；frightened害怕的；excited激動的。句意：女孩可能會很尷尬。因為是因為與自己無關(guān)的人送給自己買不起的東西而感覺很尷尬。故選B。31.D考查形容詞。Important重要的；big大的；strong強壯的；poor貧窮的。句意;更糟的是，這說明她的家庭很窮。因為第2小題有說男孩聽到女孩和媽媽的對話是買不起，故選C。32.A考查副詞。句意：情況本應(yīng)如何發(fā)生呢？根據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容可知是作者設(shè)想的這個事件理應(yīng)是如何發(fā)生的，故選A。33.C考查連詞。句意：（設(shè)想）男孩也許給她買了新鞋子，但卻是把鞋子給了老師。鞋子現(xiàn)在給了女孩，這里是虛擬，所以前后意思是相反的，用轉(zhuǎn)折，故用but.34.B考查名詞。句意，老師再小心地把鞋子給女孩。Withcare.小心地。value價值；.satisfaction

滿意；pride自豪。分析句意可知是為了不傷女孩的自尊，要小心。故選B35.D考查名詞。Process過程；notice通知，注意；figure數(shù)字；video視頻，錄像。句意：他不應(yīng)該把錄像帶放特網(wǎng)上。分析文章可知作者在網(wǎng)上看到的視頻以及第5小題，男孩讓同學(xué)幫他錄視頻?？芍荄.錄像，故選D。36.A考查形容詞辨析。same相同的；rest剩下的；special特別的；opposite相對的。句意：給無家可歸的人捐贈也是一樣。分析句意可知是說給別人捐贈也不要那么公開化，這會讓人很尷尬，故選A。37.C考查動詞。Take拿，取，采??；knock敲打；keep保持，保留；shut關(guān)閉。句意：給他們（被捐贈的人）一些尊重，讓他們遠離網(wǎng)絡(luò)，keep…off避開，讓開,使……不接近。故選C。38.B考查形容詞辨析。attractive引人注目的，迷人的；helpful有幫助的；popular流行的，受歡迎的；lovely可愛的。句意：做好事對別人應(yīng)該是有幫助的，故選B39.D考查名望。Methods方法；chances機會，可能性；places地方；purposes意圖，目的。句意：但是，如果你這樣做是為了讓你在社交媒體上受歡迎，那么你做這件事是出于錯誤的目的，分析句意可知是目的，意圖。故選D。40.A考查固定搭配。句意：下次你打算為某人做好事時，問問自己為什么真的想做這件事。plan
