21、 a new computer”可知，在此应用deal with表示“他还没有决定如何处理那台旧电脑”。3选B考查形容词词义辨析。根据句意可以看出说话人想表达的是“个人的”观点，而不是A项“私人的”；C项“独特的”和D项“不同的”。4选Cso .that .意为“如此以至于”。so 后通常跟形容词或副词，that 后引导结果状语从句。如果将soadj./adv.放在句首，主谓要倒装。5选B根据“but it can also cause problems”可知，答句句意为“在某种程度上讲，你完全正确。”in a way“在某种程度上”。as a result“结果”；from now on“从

22、现在开始”；in a word“总而言之”。6选C考查时态和主谓一致。句意：随着数字设备的引进，在过去几年里重返电影院的观众人数不断增加。in the past years是现在完成时态的标志，可排除B、D两项；当audience侧重整体概念时，视为单数。7选C句意：“要我帮忙搬那些沉重的行李吗？”“不用了，我自己能行。不管怎样我还是要谢谢你。”anyway“无论如何；不管怎样”，符合句意。A项用于表示前后文意义的转折；B项意为“从某种意义上说”；D项意为“顺便说一下”。8选A考查since, before, when引导的状语从句的区别。句意：他们分开已经有很长时间了，但是过不了多久他们又要

23、见面了。第一句表示“从过去的动作发生至现在多长时间”，从句动作发生在前，主句动作发生在后，用since引导状语从句；第二句“过不了多久就会发生从句的动作”，主句动作发生在从句动作之前，故选A。9选B考查动词辨析。句意：不要担心！我们已充分准备好应对有可能出现的各种问题。arise“产生；出现”，符合句意。rise“上升；升起；增加”；arouse及物动词，意为“唤醒；唤起”；raise及物动词，意为“提高；饲养；养育”。10选B考查动词词义辨析。句意：9月29日天宫1号的成功发射标志着中国在实现建立太空站的计划中迈出了重要的一步。signal“发信号”；mark“标志着”；sign“签字”；p

24、rove“证明”。11选B句意：玛吉非常幸运地找到了一份她喜欢的工作，而且待遇非常好。sooner or later “迟早”；what's more“此外；而且”；as a result“结果”；more or less“或多或少”。根据句意，B项正确。12选D句意：独自一个人徒步旅行既有趣又有利于身体健康，还有益于性格塑造。character“性格”，符合句意。respect“尊重”；friendship“友谊”；reputation“名声；名誉”。13选A考查动词词义辨析。根据“人们相信(损失)要超过一亿美元”，可见这里表示损失还没有精确地“计算”出来，用calculate表示“

25、计算”。14选C句意：当交通灯变绿时警察向孩子们做手势，示意他们过马路。signal sb.to do sth.“示意某人做某事”。由let/make sb.do sth.可排除A、B两项；call“喊；叫”，不符合句意。15选A考查非谓语动词的用法。句意：有很多事情有待于处理，我得工作到深夜。由空格后的部分可以看出，很多事情还没有处理，所以用不定式表示将来。.语篇解读：本文是时文阅读。很多悉尼居民可以在自家的花园中听到一群野生鹦鹉在树梢上对他们说，“你好”“出什么事了”，这是为什么呢？1选A细节理解题。根据文章第一段、第三段以及倒数第二段的信息可知，人们在听到野生鹦鹉说话时感到很诧异，以为自己的大脑出了什么问题。2选B细节理解题。从文章倒数第三段可知，这些会说话的野生鹦鹉从新南威尔士州飞到了悉尼，原因是新南威尔士州大旱，缺少食物，而悉尼有很多食物。3选C事实排序题。根据第二段和第四段的信息可知，C项符合文章所陈述的事实的顺序。4选B细节判断题。从文章第四段的第二、三、四句可知，幼鸟更有可能跟逃出来的会说话的宠物鹦鹉学习人类的习惯用语，故选B。5选C推理判断题。文章最后一段表明，这位博物学家担心鹦鹉学会说脏话，因此C项正确。.参考范文：What makes an outstanding athlete?I'm deeply impressed by the out
