29、句时，本句中的Yes表示介意，No表示不介意。A项 “Yes, please.”前后矛盾，please意为“请关窗户”； C项的错误同A项类似；D项不符合题意；B项意为“不介意，请随意”，所以选择B。2. 前者在问“外面的天气怎样？”，后者应描述具体的天气情况。A项和D项不符合题意。B项的描述是气候，而不是天气。所以选择C。3. 服务员在问“您想要甜点吗？” B项和C项均不符合题意。和A项比较而言，D项为最佳答案，该项说出了想要点的东西，所以选择D。4. 对别人的善意告诫，要表示谢意。A项意为“一点也不”；B项意为“当然。别客气”；C项意为“我一会儿回来”；D项是“谢谢，我会小心的。”所以选择

30、D。5. 前者说“不要发出噪音。”后者表示“会像老鼠一样安静”，即不会发出噪音，所以选择D。二、阅读理解6. 根据第一段的第三句话可知，早期的语言语法难、词汇量小。该陈述判断错误，所以选择B。7. 第一段的最后一句话告诉我们，语言随着生活的巨变而巨变。该陈述判断正确，所以选择A。8. 文章表明语言是随着社会的发展而变化的。该陈述判断正确，所以选择A。9. 从全文可知，若社会停滞不前，语言就很难发生变化，所以语言的变化既可以很缓慢也可以很迅速。该陈述判断错误，所以选择B。10. 在16世纪第一批英国人和西班牙人来到美洲，距今400500年。该陈述判断正确，所以选择A。11. 文章提到 “The

31、renting of home furnishings (beds，tables，dishes，and so on) has become one of Americas fastest growing businesses”。但实质上是对文章中心的理解能力。文章的中心讲的就是租家具这一社会现象：包括何种人愿意租、其原因是什么以及人们对这一现象的认识。所以选择D。12. B项只回答了问题的一部分，因此B项是错误的。D项过于笼统，文章提到 “they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy”。 A项在文章中并未提到。所以选择C。13. 从文章的第一部分可知，这对夫妇此前还没有想过租家具，可见在他们的家乡，这种
