解析：

本篇讲述了两个毕业生与陌生人交谈，倾听

l.Ao

人们向他们倾述的互惠的活动。文章从联想开始，简

介LizandBill(这是两个人的,名字，又是交谈与倾听

活动的名称)做什么，怎样开始的，效果如何，未来

打算等，其中等六段和第七段是插叙(从shortly

after…到…experiences,anything.),讲述的就是两个

年轻人怎样开始这一活动的。故选A项；开始与人聊

天。

2.DoLizandBill活动很。从倒数第二段可知：为

庆祝该活动一周所举办的聚会，有许多人参加，记者

和摄影师都来了，说明很。

3.DoLiz和Bill同许多人谈生活，倾听过许多人

跟他们谈心，Denise和Marcia是其中的两人。提到他

们来做例子。

4.Co最后一段的前一句说明他们还想吸引更多的

人来加入这一活动，与他们聊天。故选C。

5.Bo本题问Liz和Bill怎么看待写本书这回事，

全篇最后一句可知，但本句结构较复杂。something

是代词，是abook的同位语，theyllconsider是定语

从句，theysay起到插入语的作用。全句可译为：有

些出版商表达了给Liz和Bill出本书的，Liz和Bill说

他们会考虑这件事。consider一词可解释为think

指出书写书。故选。

解析：

l.Bo本篇讲一个医生要结束一周的时几分钟内的

历程。一周来，病人们不断怀疑或不信任自己，其中

一个病人MrsJones也来电话说上午看完病后眼睛看

不清东西，医生先是烦躁，进而担心焦虑是否真的有

问题或病人只是在想像，再而是兴奋---MrsJones

只是戴错了眼镜，自己的诊断治疗没问题。最后是惭

愧，病人还是信任自己的，自己也必须信任病人。文

章第二段活用了许多过去完成时，说明这些事先发生,

许多病人开始没道理地怀疑自己，现在又轮到

MrsJoneSo所以医生知道这位病人有些没理性。

2.A。第四段的前几句说明了MrsJones视力正常，

（下班）离开办公室时拿错了眼镜。

3.Co画线部分中cloud作动词用，是用云挡住的

意思，整体画线部分应是影响了她的判断力，使她不

能正常思考，本题可用代入法解决。

解析:

l.Bo参加晚会的人没吃晚饭，到晚11点，人们

饿疯了。

2.B。开头的故事做为例子，说明邀请信函令人迷

茫，人们无法把握该如何去做。

3.D。第四段前几句说明，年轻的学生赴晚会迟到

很正常。急切地第一个赶到的人太少见了。

4.A。第四段最后提及三十多岁的人参加晚会的时

间接近学生的时间，故可能迟到。

5.Co全文可知，不同年龄段的人到达晚会的时间

不同，对晚会时间理解不同，不遵从社会习惯，便会

出现饿肚子等现象。所以，按社会习俗参加晚会极为

重要。
