B．likelyC．reliable D．valuable解析：選B。belikelytodo...為固定搭配，意思是“某人可能做……”；不能說sb.ispossibletodo...。reliable“可信賴的；可靠的”；valuable“貴重的；有價值的”。句意：他可能開了一個餐館，為了掙錢供兒子上學(xué)22．Withtheseyears'development,ourhometownwillbe________intoanadvancedindustrialcity.A．translated B．transplantedC．transported D．transformed解析：選D。transform意為“使改觀；使轉(zhuǎn)變”，句中要表達的是“我們的家鄉(xiāng)將轉(zhuǎn)變成為一個先進的工業(yè)化城市”。而translate“翻譯”；transplant“移植”；transport“傳送；運輸”，均不符合語境。故正確答案為D項。23．Itiscommonlyacceptedthatafocusandconcernonclimatechangeisentirely________.A．hopeless B．a(chǎn)ccurateC．a(chǎn)ctive D．a(chǎn)ppropriate解析：選D。句意：人們普遍認為對于氣候變化的聚焦和關(guān)注是完全恰當(dāng)?shù)摹ppropriate“恰當(dāng)?shù)摹?，符合題意。hopeless“無望的；絕望的”；accurate“準確的”；active“活躍的；主動的”。24．Everybodyshouldknowhowtorespectyourselfbeforeyoucangetrespectfromothers,women________.A．inparticular B．inawordC．indetail D．inotherwords解析：選A。句意：每個人都應(yīng)該懂得在獲得別人的尊重之前如何尊重自己，特別是女人。inparticular“特別；尤其”，符合題意。inaword“總而言之”；indetail“詳細地”；inotherwords“換句話說”。25．—WhatcanIdoforyou,sir?—I'dliketo________myRMBforUSdollars,please.A．switch B．exchangeC．transform D．charge解析：選B。此題考查動詞的辨析。exchange作動詞時意為“交換”；還可以表示“(貨幣的)兌換”，句中是表示“把人民幣兌換成美元”。switch“轉(zhuǎn)換；轉(zhuǎn)變”；transform“轉(zhuǎn)化；改造”；charge作動詞時，意為“控訴；收費”，都不符合題意。故正確答案為B項。26．Thoughfeelingalittlefrightened,thecat________aseriesofloudsounds,scaringthedogaway.A．leftout B．letoffC．leftbehind D．letout解析：選D。句意：盡管有點害怕，這只貓還是發(fā)出了一連串的大叫聲，把那只狗嚇跑了。letout“發(fā)出；泄露”，符合題意。leaveout“遺漏；刪去”；letoff“引發(fā)；讓……下車”；leavebehind“留下”。27．________thefinalexams,Iwouldhavegonetotheconcertyesterday.A．Inspiteof B．ButforC．Becauseof D．Asfor解析：選B。butfor“要不是……”，用于虛擬語氣，符合題干要求。inspiteof“盡管”；becauseof“因為”；asfor“至于；關(guān)于”。28．Dayafterday,theydraggedtheirfeetonandarrivedattheirdestination________.A．eventually

B．concreteC．unchangeable D．flexible解析：選D。根據(jù)第二句可知，第一句句意應(yīng)該是：上課時間是靈活的，因此D項符合句意。contradictory“引起矛盾的”；concrete“具體的”；unchangeable“不可改變的”，均與下文不符。30．Inhisfirstclass,theChineseteachertriedto________tothestudentsthatreadingisoneoflife'sgreatestpleasures.A．convey B．educateC．persuade D．convince解析：選A。句意：第一節(jié)課上，語文老師想給學(xué)生傳達一種思想——讀書是人生最大的樂趣之一。convey“傳達(思想、感情)”；educate“教育”；persuade“勸說”；convince“使確信；使信服”。educate,persuade和convince都應(yīng)用v.＋sb.＋todo/that的形式。第二節(jié)：完形填空(共20小題；每小題1分，滿分20分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后所給各題的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。YesterdayIwasreturningfromBostonbytrainandmywifewasplanningtoleaveworktopickmeupfromthestation.__31__Itoldhernottobotheronthephone;Iwouldcomeby__32__.WhileIwassittingonthebus,ayoungwomanwithalarge__33__goton.Shewas__34__severalbagsofheavybooks.Iheardhermentiontosomeoneelsethatshe__35__hadtwomilestowalkaftershe__36__thebus.IthoughtmaybeIshouldaskifshe__37__aridebutIwasn'tsurewhich__38__shewasgettingoffat,soIhesitated(猶豫)anddidn'task.Abouttenminuteslater,thebusdroppedmeoffatthestopwheremy__39__waswaiting.Asweweredrivinghome,I__40__sawthesameyoungladywithherlargedog.Her__41__werebythesideoftheroad.I__42__mywifetopulloverandaskedthe__43__ladyifshewouldlikea__44__.IexplainedtoherthatIhadoverheard(偶然聽見)heronthebus.Shesaidshewouldlovearidebutshewasconcernedaboutthedogthatwasquite__45__andalittletiredthen.IsaiditwasOKandhelpedliftthedogintoourcar.Theyoungladygotin__46__.Lookingback,Isawthedog__47__inthebackseatquietlywithitsowner.Wetookthembothhomeandthe__48__wasveryappreciative.Whenreflectingon(思考)thisexperienceIwasalittlesadnotto__49__thefirsttimeonthebus.ButIwasvery__50__tohavethesecondchancetoofferhelptothewoman.語篇解讀：妻子開車接“我”回家途中，“我”再次遇見了10分鐘前“我”在公共汽車上見過的一位女士，她曾說下車后還要步行一段路程才能到家，于是，我們就把她送回了家。31．A.But

D．offered解析：選A。聽到這位女士的話，作者就在想，或許該問問她，看她是否想(wanted)搭車。38．A.stop B．gateC．station D．road解析：選A。作者猶豫沒有問是因為他不清楚她會在哪個車站(stop)下車?，F(xiàn)在作者和這位女士是乘坐公共汽車而非在火車上，故選stop。39．A.friend B．wifeC．neighbor

B．8percentC．16percent D．10percent解析：選C。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“16percentreportedbad-mouthingacolleague，”可知bad-mouthing是“說壞話”的意思。65．Wecanlearnfromthetextthat________.A．workersover55don'tliketoattendhappyhoursatallB．a(chǎn)bout75%ofworkersgomorethanonceamonthC．10.5%ofmaleworkersattendhappyhourswithco-workersD．a(chǎn)bout700workerssurveyedsharedasecretaboutaco-worker解析：選D。推理判斷題。“...workersover55leastlikelytoattend”意思是55歲以上的工人很少去聚會喝酒，并不能說明他們都不喜歡，所以A不正確。“...nearlyaquartergoatleastonceamonth”近四分之一的人一月去一次并不意味著剩下的四分之三的人一月就去兩次以上，還有些人可能不會去，所以B也不對。文章中沒有確切的信息說明男工中有10.5%的人參加聚會，因此C也不對。66．Afterthesurvey,itcanbeinferredthat________.A．a(chǎn)lltheworkersopposeafter-workdrinksB．theworkersmaychangetheirattitudestowardsafter-workdrinksC．a(chǎn)lltheworkerssupportafter-workdrinksD．a(chǎn)lltheworkersaresuggestedgoingtoattendafter-workdrinks解析：選B。推理判斷題。綜合文章介紹的情況，85%美國工人下班后經(jīng)常聚會喝酒并沒有益處，因此調(diào)查者應(yīng)該會改變對這種聚會的態(tài)度。A，C，D選選項都太絕對。ESo,afteryearsintheworkplace,you'refinallyreadytogobacktoschool.Therearemanychoicesfortheadultlearner,soIwilltrytomakethedecisioneasierforyou.Onlinelearningisthebestmethodfortheadultlearner,andIwilltellyouwhy.Withonlineclasses,youcanjoinintheclassdiscussion,andhandinyourhomework,anytimeyouwant.Thereisnosetclasstime;youcantakeitwhenyourscheduleallows.Youdon'thavetopaydaycare;youcanbehomewithyourdaughterandtakeclassesatthesametime.Withonlineclasses,youcanwearwhateveryouwant.Sinceyoudon'thavetoseeanyofyourclassmates,andtheydon'thavetoseeyou,youarefreetolookhoweveryouwant,anddresshoweveryouwant.Ithinkthisisthebestpartabouttakingonlineclasses.Inthetraditionalclassroom,whenastudentdisturbstheclass,theotherstudentsintheclassareheldprisoner.Thisisnotthecasewithonlineclasses.Ifonestudentintheclassdecidestotakeupthediscussingboardwithhisoverbearing(專橫的)opinions,youcanignorehisposts.Similarly,youdon'thavetodealwiththeinstructorwhogetsofftaskwithdiscussionsofotherthings.Someadultsfeelasiftheyhavetoactuallygotoclassinordertoreceivethehelpthattheyneed.Thisisnotnecessaryastheonlineinstructorsarejustassupportiveandavailableastraditionalinstructors,soyourchancesofsuccessarejustashighasinthetraditionalclassroom.Lastly,inmostonlineprograms,allclassesareoffered.So,youaren'tmissinganythingbychoosinganonlineeducation.Iwouldn'ttrademyonlineexperienceforthetraditionaloneforamilliondollars—well,Imightconsiderit,butonlyforamilliondollars!語篇解讀：作者給成人學(xué)習(xí)者建議了一個最好的學(xué)習(xí)渠道：網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)，并列舉了網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)的幾點優(yōu)勢。67．Whatleadstheauthortowritethepassage?A．Somelearnerscannotaffordtogotoschool.B．Onlinelearningisbecomingmoreandmorepopular.C．Adultlearnersfindithardtochoosefromdifferentlearningmethods.D．Manystudentsdon'twanttolearninthetraditionalclassroom.解析：選C。寫作意圖題。作者的寫作意圖可以從第一段中看出：成年人學(xué)習(xí)的渠道多種多樣，作者試圖幫助大家更輕松地做出選擇。68．WhatisParagraph3mainlyabout?A．Support.
