阅读理解21．D［细节理解题。纵览全文，特别是由第三段中的“IpreferChinesefestivals."和第四段中的“IlikeChinesefestivalsbetter。..”可知，本题答案为D。］22．C[细节理解题。由第一段中的“Christmas"和第七段中的“AprilFools’DayandHalloween”可知，本文总共提到了三个西方节日。］23．A[推理判断题。由文章第六段中的“ButIwanttospendmoretimewithfriends。"和第九段中的“Iwanttobeascoolasotheryoungpeople.”可以得知，Susan就是想和朋友更多地待在一起，而Linda是为了赶时髦。因此可以判断这两个人喜欢西方节日的目的不同。］24．C[推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“WhileembracingtheWesternfestivalswithcuriosityandenthusiasm，don’tforgetourownfestivals。”可得出，这位老师更注重和推崇中国的传统节日。故选C。]25．D［作者意图题.根据全文内容可知,文章讲述了四位著名人物的共性，他们不仅在各自的领域取得了伟大成就，而且都是左撇子。故选D。］26．C[细节理解题。根据第一段的最后两句“AstudybytheNationalBureauofEconomicResearchfloatedtheideathatlefthandedmenfavor‘divergent’(发散性)thinking,aformofcreativityinwhichthebrainmoves“fromconventionalknowledgeintounexploredassociation"．Maybethat’swhatittakestodevelopanetworthestimatedatleast570billion.”可知,也许就是发散性思维创造了一个价值估计至少为5700亿美元的“网络”.］27．A[细节理解题。由第二段中的“Thetalkshowqueendoesn’tneedmuchmoretosetherapartfromtherest.Shehasherestimated2.7billionfortuneandamagicabilitytosellbooksjustbyglancingatthem”得知，她有一种魔力就是仅需瞄一眼就能把书卖掉.故选A.］28．D[细节理解题.由第二段最后一句中的“。。。JuliaRobertsandAngelinaJolie(herhusbandBradPittisalsoalefty)．"得知，BradPitt是AngelinaJolie的丈夫。故选D。］29．B［由本文的内容可知，B项为最佳选项。］30．A［从第一段第一句话可知，家长们最不愿讨论的话题就是癌症。］31．C［从第三段第二句可知B、D项正确，由第四段第一句话可知A项正确,C项未提及，故选C。]32．B［根据上下文的语境和文章开头第一句话中的“discuss”可知，B项为最佳选项。broach意为“提出话题”。］33．A[peoplearelikelytohavewrongideasaboutAmericancollegeeducation从文章第一句可知，人们对美国大学教育的错误观念不止四项，因此推断人们很容易对美国大学教育产生错误观念。］34．D[“allnighters”arecommonlyseen从文章对第一种认知错误的解释来看,在淘汰率高的大学，学生学习刻苦，“通宵达旦者”并不鲜见。]35．B[havelesspressurefromacademicrequirements从文章对第一种认知错误的解释来看,人们认为美国学生课业负担不大，学习不如其他国家的学生刻苦.］36—-—40：．G。E.B。F.C完形填空：41．D[考查上下文暗示。下一句提到作者对其他人的内心感受非常敏感，而人的内心感受往往通过举止表现出来，由此可推断作者发现这对夫妇的“举止”有一点奇怪，从而引起了作者的注意。C项表示“外表",与下一句的内容不相符。］42．B［考查逻辑推理，上一句提到作者注意到这对夫妇的举止有一点奇怪,而空白处后面是“tothefeelings”，故应用besensitiveto“对……敏感”。故选B。］43．C[考查逻辑推理。作者通过观察立刻感觉到这对夫妇几乎支付不起外出就餐的费用。因此C项符合语境.］44．A[考查段落间的内在逻辑关系。下一段提到作者产生了替这对夫妇埋单的念头，由此可推断作者认为他们几乎不能支付外出就餐的费用。所以hardly“几乎不"符合语境。]45．D[考查逻辑推理。起初,作者对这种想法不予理会，可是这种想法反复出现在作者的脑海中，挥之不去。因此D项符合语境。]46．B［考查逻辑推理。通过观察,作者开始产生一种替这对夫妇支付餐费的“欲望”。作者当时还没有付诸行动，所以A、C两项不正确；替别人埋单显然不是危险的事情，因此D项错误.]47．C[考查逻辑推理。虽然作者并不富裕,但是能够负担得起这笔费用.作者当时打算主动替对方埋单，而不只是“面对”这件事，所以B项不恰当。］48．C［考查逻辑推理。作者走近老板,想支付这对夫妇的饭费。所以approach“靠近,接近"符合题意。]49．D［考查逻辑推理。根据本句中的“andmightstillordercoffee”可知他们已经吃完了饭菜，本句中的course表示“一道菜”.根据下文可知作者替他们付了钱，因此干扰项C项不正确。］50．A［考查语境化选词。老板告诉作者这对夫妇目前的账单消费“共计”75美元。cometosth.“合计，共计"。B、C、D三项均不符合题意.］51．A［考查生活常识。作者与这对夫妇素不相识,却主动替他们埋单，老板自然会追问作者“为什么"替他们付钱.］52．A[考查上下文暗示。根据本句后半句中的“。..Itriedtocovermyfeelings.”可知作者当时有一点顾虑，不愿向老板透露内心的想法.经过思想斗争后，最终还是作了解释。因此shy“迟疑的；提防的”符合题意。］53．D［考查上下文暗示.通过观察，作者认为这对夫妇经济拮据，为了生活他们不得不努力拼搏。作者出于同情,伸出了援助之手。］54．A[考查句子间的内在逻辑关系.作者心甘情愿地替他们埋单，“但是”作者不想让这对夫妇知道是谁替他们支付了饭费。]55．C［考查逻辑推理。作者帮助这对夫妇完全发自肺腑,不追求任何回报，就算是送给他们的一件“礼物"。B项的意义过于模糊，不能很好地突出作者当时的慷慨及善意，因而不恰当。］56．B［考查上下文暗示。这对夫妇前去结账时发现已经有人替他们支付了餐费,自然感到无比惊讶，不相信好运会降临到他们头上。]57．D[考查逻辑推理。根据引号中的内容可知以前这样的事情在他们身上从未发生过，由此可推断此处表示的是否定含义,所以用nothing。]58．C［考查逻辑推理。这对夫妇难以相信他们会有如此好运，这样的事情还是第一次，由此可推断他们从未“赢得"过任何东西或被给予过任何东西。故选C.其余三项既不符合语境,也不符合常识。］59．D［考查上下文照应，此处like是介词，表示“像……一样”，与上文中的“likethishasever。。。"中的“like”照应。像这样的事情在这对夫妇身上从未发生过。A、B、C三项分别表示“除……之外（还）”；“为了”;“尽管”，都不符合语境。此外,引号中的开头部分也是提示。]60．A[考查语篇理解。每当作者想起在饭店中替那对夫妇埋单的那件小事,嘴角就露出微笑。因此incident符合语境。]Mysisterfoundabirdontheroadside。WenamedhimJ
