lucky1.a这里作者说“我给花店打电话询问”，用call to the shop,如果表示花店的信息应该是messages from the flower shop，而且不符合上下文的语境2.b这里用deal表示“交易”，如its a deal.(咱们成交),这是现金交易，对方也没有留下任何信息。3.d我就不再去探询谁是送花人。4.b我虽然不再去寻找送花人是谁，但是我时刻在想是谁给我送花的。5.c从上下文判断显然用happiest,想到有人给我送的栀子花我就觉得高兴快乐。6.a从上下文判断，这一定是我对某人特别有恩，所以他总是送花给我。7.d送花给我，以表明他对我的感激和谢意。8.c从语境判断，这是我的猜想，邻居买回来一车的日常用品，我帮他从车上拿东西。9.a用across表示街对面。10.d既然是街上结冰了，那么一定是冬天。11.a从上下文判断，这里不是加强语气，也不是表示顺接，而是作者在猜测另外一种可能性，用副词though表示“不过”，也许是另外一种可能。12.d下文有him，而且作者是在作显现实的猜测而不是幻想有什么超人，因此用boy。13.b本句用even though引导让步状语从句表示“尽管”我可能不认识他。这里作者少女怀春，在作各种猜想。14.c就在我要毕业的时候父亲去世了，他看不到我人生重要的一部分了。15.b这时我沉浸在失去亲人的痛苦中，对于毕业典礼和随后的舞会都不感兴趣了。16.a我这时早已忘了这些东西，还在失去亲人的悲痛中。17.c此时我已不在乎穿不穿新衣服出席舞会和典礼了。18.d联想前面提到的有人送花给我，母亲希望我是可爱而又被人爱的孩子。19.b从全文的内容判断，这里作者说就像栀子花一样，在困难时期依然有美丽的存在。20.a上文提到面对困难保持坚强，本空前面有lovely，后面有perfect，那么这里应该填与“可爱”不一样的另外一种素质，因此选a。阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项。in western countries people have been using the installment (分期付款) plan since the first half of the twentieth century. today, a large number of families in great britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. in the u.s.a., the figure is much higher than in great britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan. the price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. there is a charge for interest. the buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment (预付定金) when the goods are delivered to him. he then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. the legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made. installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. it can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. it increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. there is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. this may result in a great increase in unemployment. if the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. if great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts, there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. if businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression (萧条). this is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.11. which of the following is not true about the installment plan?a. a lot of british families use the installment plan.b. more than 10 percent of american families buy things on installments.c. americans depend more on installment than british people do.d. americans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying.12. goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because _.a. the buyer has to pay extra money as interestb. the delivery of the goods charges extra moneyc. the buyer has to pay a down paymentd. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money13. what will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments?a. he might lose his job.b. he will stop owning the item he has bought.c. he will have to sell what he has bought.d. he will go into debt.14. the advantage of installment buying might include all the following except that _.a. purchasing power is strengthened.b. employment might be increasedc. people develop a good habit of saving moneyd. young couples are able to furnish their homes15. in some countries, the governments control the installment plan to _.a. increase employmentb. avoid depressionsc. ensure that businesses make good profitsd. ensure that people can pay for what they buy【参考答案】1115、babcd

during childhood. but the results dont prove that tv is the cause and dont ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人)may watch lots of tv. their study measured the tv habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. these with college degrees had watch an average of less than two hours of tv per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school. in the california study, children with tvs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom tv but who had home computers scored the highest. while this study does not prove that bedroom tv sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldnt have tvs in their bedrooms.
