解析：本题考查词义辨析。句意为：昨天一整天我都感觉很糟糕，所以今天早晨我决定不能像那样面对另一天了。another泛指“别的任何一天”；other做定语前面通常加some，several，one等限定词；the other强调两者中的另一个，others不做定语，故选B。

23． There are______students playing basketball in the room. A．score of B．scores of C．two scores D．two score of

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查数词的用法。scores of意为“很多”，句意为：有很多学生在屋子里打篮球。

24． I______writing the article by the time you get back. A．shall finish

25． I have no doubt ______ most of the students in our class can pass the final examination.

A．that B．as

C．whether D．although

27． Since you are a little tired, you had better______a rest. A．to stop to have B．stop to have C．to stop having D．stop having

28． -- This program is killing me! Everything has to be finished before next Friday.-- ______, John. It’ s not the end of the world.

A．Take it easy B．Take care C．Be careful D．Be yourself

正确答案：A

解析：本题考查情景交际用语。第一个人说“这个项目真是要命，下周五必须完成。”说话人表达的是一种着急的情绪，认为自己完不成任务，所以第二个人的回答应是安慰他“别担心”。这里的take it easy的意思就是“慢慢来、别担心”。所以本题的正确答案为A。

29． The first pair of trousers did not fit and he asked the shop-assistant to show him ______ pair.

A．some B．one C．other D．another

one表示“一个，一件，一份……”；other表示“另外，其他”；another表示“另一个，另一份”。根据句意“第一条裤子不合身”，顾客应该是让店员拿同类裤子的另一条。答案为D。[知识拓展] 注意fit和suit均可为动词表示“适合”，但是前者一般表“大小和尺寸”等的“适合”，而后者则表示“颜色和式样”等的“适合”。另外，pair作主语谓语应用单数。

32． --What did Mr. Jones do before he came to this company? --He ______ a city bus for over twenty-five years.

A．is driving B．drove C．has driven D．drives

解析：本题考查的是动词时态。由题意可知，开城市巴士这个动作到现在为止持续了超过25年，并且for+时间段是完成时的显著标志。故C正确。

33． You ______ be mad if you think Jake is going to lend you any money. A．need B．should C．must D．can

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查的是情态动词。“need”的意思是“需要”，“should”的意思是“应该”，“must”的意思是“肯定”，“can”的意思是“能”。故C正确。

A．All the same B．It’ s all right C．Take it easy D．Come on

正确答案：B

35． The idea of opening a new cinema here was not wise, as there are two here already, ______usually half-empty.

A．neither B．none C．either D．both

正确答案：D

解析：句意：在这儿新建一家电影院的想法不明智，因为这儿已经有了两家电影院，它们的上座率平时都只有5成。本题考查的是不定代词的用法。neither意为“两者都不”，none意为“没有”，either意为“两个中的任意一个”，both意为“两个都”。分析句意可知，因为现有的两家电影院生意都不好，所以再新建一家电影院的想法不明智。故D正确。

Discovery When a 10-year-old boy gets a first-class degree in mathematics or an 8-year-old plays chess like a future grand master, they are considered as geniuses. Where does the quality of geniuses come from? Is it all in the genes or can any child be turned into a genius?

At first, I thought it was just useless e-mails. It was the end of the weekend and I hadn’t checked my e-mails since late Friday afternoon. There was a long list of messages. Some I removed without reading. Others were from friends-I saved those to read later when I had more time. One stood out from the rest for two reasons. The first was the name, Maher Nawaf, which I didn’t recognize. The second was the subject line: “pleas papers. “ Clearly, the e-mail was仕om someone who did not have a complete mastery of the English language. The message was from an Iraqi, a university research scientist in Mosul who wanted permission to reprint a research paper I had written. As a scientist, I’ m used to getting these kinds of requests; it’ s part of the give and take among researchers that I especially like. I wrote back the next day, asking for more information about the type of work he was doing. I also wished him and his family best for their safety and well-being during this dangerous time in his land. A couple of days later, his reply appeared in my inbox. It read, in

part: “hi dear Dr. I’m very happy to hear good news from you and your help, also I’ d like to thank you for your feelings towards me and my family . .. thank you very much for help I want to tell you that I’ m ready to help you in mosul university/iraq if you need that. “ Maher also explained in his broken English that he was interested in a paper I’ d written on the use of lactobacillus acidophilus (a healthy product that can be found in yogurt (酸奶) and other foods). It was his hope that he could use my findings to help find a treatment for gastrointestinal (消化系统的) illness. He signed off:” warmest regards to you and lovely family. “ Despite his difficulty with the language, he had painted a picture for me由at was far more than a simple request for information. The humanity displayed (流露出的) in his message made me want to both smile and cry.

Ian Johnstone missed his girlfriend so much that he flew back to Britain from Australia to ask her to marry him. The problem is she did the same in the opposite direction. He and Amy Dolby even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights. After an 11,000-mile flight across the globe, Dolby was greeted by Johnstone’s astonished flatmate asking what she was doing there. “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us,” she told The Times. “He is the most romantic(浪漫的)person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(易冲动的)people. We are always trying to surprise each other. “ Johnstone, a 27-year-old construction worker, had taken a year off to travel round Australia. But he was missing Dolby, a 26-year-old secretary, so much that he got a job on a Sydney building site and started saving for a surprise. He then flew home to Britain and went to her apartment armed with an engagement(订婚) ring and flowers. “I really missed Amy and I’d been thinking about her all the time. I

thought she was winding me up when she phoned me from Australia. “ he said. Johnstone then asked Dolby to marry him on the phone. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I accepted. “ she said.

My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown, where I found some very good Chinese restaurants. The first time I ever ate Chinese food I loved it. I noticed the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables. When I learned more about the food, 1 began to understand why it has this special feature. Many years ago, China had an energy crisis (危机) because it lost much of its wood due to overpopulation and poor management of its forests. This loss was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute (替代物) for their valuable wood, or learn how to use it better. There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize. In order to economize in cooking, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel. The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor(味道)—and it’s this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.

72． This text is mainly about______. A．what caused Chinese food to taste fresh B．how Chinese food is cooked in the US

C．when the author started to make Chinese food D．why most foreigners like cooking Chinese food

正确答案：A

解析：主旨题。题干意为“这篇文章主要介绍——。”文章第二段首先提到作者注意到了肉和蔬菜新鲜的味道。第三段讲述了中国的一次能源危机和人们想办法来节约能源。第四段讲到人们为此采用的烹饪方法。同时指出，正是这种方法使得食物保留了新鲜的味道。由此可以推断，本文主要介绍了中餐味道新鲜的原因。故A为正确答案。

73． According to the text, what makes Chinese food attractive to foreigners? A．Its way of cooking. B．Its long history. C．Its special taste. D．Its lovely look.

正确答案：C

解析：细节题。题干意为“根据文章，是什么使中餐对外国人产生吸引力?”根据第四段最后一句“The food prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor—and it’s this flavor that attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking”可知，通过这种方法准备的食物保留了新鲜的味道——正是这种味道吸引了其他国家的人来了解中餐的烹饪艺术。故C为正确答案。

74． The author mentioned the energy crisis to show______. A．it is important to protect the forests

B．it is necessary to find substitutes for wood C．why the Chinese changed their way of cooking

D．what problems a big population is causing China today

正确答案：C

解析：推理题。题干意为“作者提到能源危机来说明——。”第二段提到当作者对中餐更加了解以后，他开始明白为什么它有这种特色。第三、四段讲述了中餐有这种特色的原因。第三段先讲了背景，第四段讲述结果。第三段提到的能源危机只是个背景，由于能源危机的发生，使得木材变得很昂贵，也很难得到，所以人们得想办法节省木材。为此他们不得不改变做饭的方法.故C为正确答案。

75． It can be inferred from the text that before the energy crisis Chinese food______.

A．was cooked in rather large pieces B．was cooked in water but not oil C．didn’t taste good D．didn’t look fresh

正确答案：A 解析：推理题。题干意为“通过文章，我们可以推断出在能源危机出现之前，中餐——。”第三段提到由于能源危机，木材短缺，人们开始想办法节省木材。根据最后一段第二句“So they started cutting their meat and vegetables into small

pieces before they put them in the hot oil．”可知，他们开始把肉和蔬菜切成小块，然后再放到热油里。由此可以推测，在能源危机出现之前，由于木材充足，人们不用节省，所以会将食材切成大块来烹饪。故A为正确答案。
