【解析】in the first place是固定短语,意思是“首先”。此句意思是：别人经常问到的问题之一，是当初我是如何爱上动物的。3. a这句话的意思是：作者在呀呀学语之时,最早发清楚的音是“zoo” (动物园) ,而不是“妈妈”,“爸爸”,因此,应选clarity“清晰”。填入其他选项emotion (感情) ,sentiment (多愁善感) ,affection (友爱) 不合逻辑。4. b【解析】but在此处连接另一个句子 (it was the word“zoo”,“it was”被省略) ，表示转折，意为“而是”，except, except for, but for的用法接近，表示“除了”。5. d【解析】根据后面的over and over again,应选“repeat”6. c【解析】小孩想去动物园,便不停地发出尖叫声,故选“voice”。a shrill voice与scream的意思接近。volume (音量) ；noise (噪音) ；pitch (音调) 均不合要求。7. b 【解析】shut sb. up是指让某人住口，为了让孩子停止尖叫，只好带他去动物园。8. a【解析】根据后面主句的时态，此处只能用一般过去时。9. c【解析】a great many后直接跟可数名词的复数形式；a great / large amount of后跟不可数名词；只有a great /large number of后可以跟可数名词的复数形式。10 d 【解析】living后必须接介词in，意为“居住”；cultivating耕种；reclaiming开垦；只有exploring有探察的意思。11. c 【解析】add to相当于increase，增加。其余选项后面都不接to。12. a 【解析】later on为固定短语，“后来”。13. d【解析】attendant仆人；keeper可理解为“饲养员”，但是a student- keeper容易被误解为“收留学生的人”；aide有“助手”之义。作者一边上学，一边在动物园里打工，只能当助手。14. d 【解析】which在此引导定语从句，修饰前面列出的动物。15. d 【解析】因为钱是在动物园打工挣的，选successfully更能体现其含义。16. d 【解析】finance my first trip意为“支付我的旅行费用”；pay后应接介词for；其他选项的意思相差甚远。17. b 【解析】此句为现在完成进行时态,选regularly比较贴切。18. d【解析】此句是由though引导的让步状语从句，应与主句意思相对立。选项中，sorrows和disappointments与主句的appeal to相对立，但sorrows的分量太重。19. c 【解析】appeal to为成语，意思是“吸引”。20. b 【解析】excursion短途旅行；journey (从一地到另一地的) 长距离，具体的旅途；travel旅行，旅游，海外旅行；trip旅行，远足。 完形填空

nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubledto $1.01 per packsmokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.this is not a surprise to public health advocates.theyve studied the effect of state tax increases for years，finding that smokers，especially teens，are price sensitive.nor is it a shock to the industry，which fiercely fights every tax increase.the only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message.tobacco taxes improve public health，they raise money and most particularly，they deter people from taking up the habit as teens，which is when nearly all smokers are addicted.yet the rate of taxation varies widely.in manhattan，for instance，which has the highest tax in the nation，a pack of marlboro light kings，cost $10.06 at one drugstore wednesday.in charleston，s.c.，where the 7 cent a pack tax is the lowest in the nation，the price was $4.78.the influence is obvious.in new york，high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys13.8%，far below the national average.by comparison,26% of high school students smoke in kentucky.other low tax states have similarly depressing teen smoking records.hal rogers，representative from kentucky，like those who are against high tobacco taxes，argues that the burden of the tax falls on lowincome americans “who choose to smoke.”thats true.but there is more reason in keeping future generations of lowincome workers from getting hooked in the first place.as for todays adults，if the new tax drives them to quit，they will have more to spend on their families，cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.【语篇解读】 烟草税增加后，取得了立竿见影的效果许多烟民纷纷戒烟。然而有些地方却对此充耳不闻，中学生吸烟的比例居高不下。本文让我们意识到：从长远看，通过增加烟草税而使人们戒烟是泽被千家万户的大事。1the text is mainly about _.athe
