答案 C
解析 句意：想要在一个陌生的小镇各处走动是件令人头痛的事。为了避免麻烦，我会乘坐出租车。 get around“各处走动”符合句意。settle down“定居下来；开始专心于”； work out“解决；算出”； hold out“维持；坚守”。
23. The most impressive sites of Chishui Danxia are its various waterfalls, ________ the Shizhang Waterfall is the largest one.
A. for which B. in which
C. from which D. of which
答案 D
解析 句意：赤水丹霞给人印象最深的地方是各种各样的瀑布，其中十丈洞瀑布是最大的。the Shizhang Waterfall与various waterfalls之间为所属关系，故用of which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰waterfalls。
24. If you ________ spit at all, please spit in the bucket provided.
A. shall B. must
C. should D. may
答案 B
解析 句意：如果你非吐痰不可，请吐到专备的痰盂里。If you must (do sth．)“(表示虽不赞同但可允许)如果你一定要(那么做)”。must可表示“偏偏；非要”，符合句意。

28. I’m one of those impatient readers and I tend to skip the parts that don’t really ________ my interest.
A. ensure B. hold
C. indicate D. forecast
答案 B
解析 句意：我是一个没有耐心的读者，有时我会跳过引不起我兴趣的部分。hold“吸引住”，符合句意。ensure“确保；保证”； indicate“表示；表明”； forecast“预测；预报”。
29. ________ about 550 kilograms, Manuel Uribe of Monterey, Mexico, is probably the heaviest person in the world.
A. Weighed B. Being weighed
C. To weigh D. Weighing

A. they arrive B. arrive they
C. they do arrive D. do they arrive
答案 D
解析 表示否定意义的副词(seldom)在句中作状语置于句首时。主句采用部分倒装形式，即将助动词或情态动词等置于主语前，故D项符合题意。

My husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.
One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.
Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the light and “click” sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing — calling my husband.
Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen (圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved me to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner, “Am I going to die?” He replied, “Finally.”

The Keel-billed Toucan(彩虹巨嘴鸟) is also known as the Rainbow-billed Toucan because of the colourful bill that the Keel-billed Toucan has. The Keel-billed Toucan抯 bill can reach lengths of nearly 20cm and is around one third of the length of the Keel-billedn Toucan抯 body. The Keel-billed Toucan抯 bill is one of the most colourful bills in the bird world, and it抯 more a green colour than anything else.
As with other species of toucans, the size of the Keel-billed Toucan抯 bill does not affect the balance of lledthe bird itself as its bill is made out of keratin, which is very light but still very strong.
The Keel-billed Toucan is native to the jungles of South America where it lives in holes in the trees, often with several other Keel-billed Toucans. In order to make sure that there is enough space for them all, the Keel-billed Toucan group all sleep with their bill and tail under their body to create more room for the other birds.
The Keel-billed Toucan has a diet with large quantities of different kinds of fruit. However, because of the surprising dexterity of its bill, the Keel-billed Toucan also eats bird eggs and insects, if there抯 not enough fruit.
The Keel-billed Toucan is adn extremely sociable bird and is very hard to be seen on its own. As well as nesting together, the Keel-billed Toucan travels in small groups. Different from what people think though, the Keel-billed Toucan is not very good at flying and does most of its moving about by jumping between the tree branches.
A female Keel-billed Toucan lays between 1 and 5 eggs in the hole of a tree, which usually hatch within a few weeks. Both the male and female Keel-billed Toucan hatch the eggs and both Keel-billed Toucan parents also feed and look after their babies until they are old enough and strong enough to protect themselves.
60. How does the Keel-billed Toucan save space for other birds?
A. By sleeping with others closely.
B. By finding a bigger hole in the tree.
C. By sleeping in groups of more than three.
D. By putting certain organs under their body.
61. According to the passage, people often think that the Keel-billed Toucan ________.
A. can fly very well B. won’t eat bird eggs
C. often lives alone D. often jumps around
62. After the Keel-billed Toucan抯 babies are born, the babies are looked after ________.
pA. by other birds
B. only by female Keel-billed Toucans
C. by both parents
D. only by male Keel-billed Toucans
答案与解析
【解题导语】
本文是一篇说明文。彩虹巨嘴鸟因其长而多彩的喙给人们留下了深刻的印象。本文介绍了彩虹巨嘴鸟的特征和生活习性。
【长难句解读】
As with other species of toucans, the size of the Keel-billed Toucan’s bill does not affect the balance of the bird itself as its bill is made out of keratin, which is very light but still very strong.
分析：这是一个复合句， As with的意思是“与……一样”，主句为：the size ... the balance of the bird itself。后面的as引导原因状语从句，该状语从句中又有一个which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰keratin。
60. 答案 D
解析 根据文章第三段第二句可知，彩虹巨嘴鸟主要是通过把自己的嘴和尾巴放在身下来为其他同伴节省空间的，故答案为D项。
61. 答案 A
解析 根据文章第五段中的“Different from what people think though, the Keel-billed Toucan is not very good at flying ...”可知，人们通常认为彩虹巨嘴鸟很擅长飞行。
62. 答案 C
解析 根据文章最后一段中的“Both the male and female Keel-billed Toucan hatch the eggs and both Keel-billed Toucan parents also feed and look after their babies ...”可知，雌鸟和雄鸟都照顾它们的幼鸟。
Sweat stains are visible on any color clothing, especially on the white ones. In order to help you deal with that annoying problem, “Cleaners Bermondsey” provides the following cleaning tips on how to get rid of sweat stains. The good thing is that you can use them for stains removal as well.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Take a hydrogen peroxide(过氧化氢) that is either 2 or 3 percent solution. Pour a few teaspoons onto the stained area of white clothing only. Then rub it into the area well and let it sit for about half an hour. After that, launder as usual. Do not do this to colored clothes, because it will damage the color.
BORIC ACID
A great cleaning solution for any color fabric is 20 Mule Team Borax. Prepare a paste with the boric acid(硼酸) and water and apply it to the stained area. Gently rub it into and leave it like that for about half an hour. Scrub the area with a brush or sponge and launder as usual.
WHITE VINEGAR
Apply some vinegar onto the stain and gently rub it into. Let it sit for about half an hour and then clean as you usually do.
LEMON JUICE
Alternatively, you can squeeze fresh lemon juice onto the stain or use the bottled lemon juice. If you choose to use that approach, gently rub the lemon juice into the stain, allow it to sit for about half an hour. Then clean as normal. You can also pour the lemon juice onto it and hang the shirt in the sun. The sun may help to get the stain out and the acid in the lemon juice helps.
ASPIRIN
Prepare a paste from crushed aspirin tablets dissolved (溶解) in water. Then apply it to the stained area. Gently rub it into, and let it sit on the shirt for about half an hour.
63. Which of the following is TRUE of the cleaning tips?

【解题导语】
洗不掉的汗渍非常讨厌吧?本文为你提供了几个去除汗渍的方法。
63．答案 D
解析 根据BORIC ACID部分中的“A great cleaning solution for any color fabric is 20 Mule Team Borax.”可知，20 Mule Team Borax可用于彩色衣物。
64．答案 C
解析 根据HYDROGEN PEROXIDE中的“Do not do this to colored clothes, because it will damage the color.”可知，过氧化氢不能用来清理彩色衣物上的汗渍，因为它会破坏衣物的颜色。
65．答案 C
解析 根据LEMON JUICE部分中的“You can also pour the lemon juice onto it and hang the shirt in the sun. The sun may help to get the stain out and the acid in the lemon juice helps.”可知，使用柠檬汁来清除汗渍时，可以不用水。
66．答案 B
解析 文中主要介绍了几个清除衣物上的汗渍的方法，所以Hateful Sweat Stains!“讨厌的汗渍”最适合作为本文的标题。
I prefer Lynne Truss’s phraseology: I am a grammar “stickler”. And, like Truss — author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves — I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.
Now, Truss and I disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”, while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job — even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.
Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, iFixit or Dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. If job hopefuls can’t distinguish between “to” and “too”, their applications go into the bin.
Of course, we write for a living. iFixit.com is the world’s largest online repair manual (指南), and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals. So, it makes sense that we’ve made a strong strike against grammar errors.
But grammar is relevant for all companies. Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn’t make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the Internet. And, for better or worse, people judge you if you can’t tell the difference between “their”“there” and “they’re”.
Good grammar makes good business sense — and not just when it comes to hiring writers. Writing isn’t in the official job description of most people in our office. Still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.
Grammar signifies more than just a person’s ability to remember high school English. I’ve found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing — like stocking shelves or labeling parts. It is the same with programmers. Applicants who don’t think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also aren’t important.
67. The author agrees with Lynne Truss on that ________.
A. grammar mistakes can’t be tolerant
B. books on grammar make people stupid
C. people need to learn basic grammar
D. grammar mistakes are absolutely unavoidable
68. What’s the author’s “zero tolerance” approach to these job seekers who mix up basic grammar?
A. They should be left out for a job.
B. They have to correct their mistakes.
C. They aren’t qualified for their jobs.
D. They must be severely punished.
69. Which of the following is TRUE of iFixit and Dozuki?
A. Only one of them has a compulsory grammar test.
B. They are companies where one learns grammar.
C. Grammar is quite important for their existence.
D. They depend on grammar correction for a living.
70. What can we learn from the text?
A. Companies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.
B. Grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing.
C. A “zero tolerance” approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair.
D. People who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.
答案与解析

解析 根据第四段至第六段内容，作者对每位员工都进行语法测试，因为正确的语法对作者的两个公司非常重要。
70．答案 D

Just like a band needs members who have different talents and powers, different types of friends serve different purposes and nourish and enrich our lives in different ways. While many of us are lucky to count our real friends on one hand, there are certain types of people good to have around. So, how many do you know?
The friend who is cooler than you
The world changes quickly and some people are better at keeping up with what’s hip than we are. We like to be around these people, because they’re a beacon of cool. Cool things just flock to them.
These are the people who help you to open your eyes. __71__.
● The friend who is up for anything
People are busy, we get it. But there’s nothing more frustrating than having to reschedule your re-re-re-scheduled plan. __72__. A friend who says “hell yeah, I’m up for that”.
This friend is the flexible friend who makes your life a breeze. Nothing is ever too hard and they’re open to doing new things and changing plans instantly.
● The friend who you aspire (渴望) to be
Oprah Winfrey once said: “Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.” And we all need to live life a little bit closer to Oprah. __73__. The only downside is that sometimes they can be infuriating(使发怒) and inspiring in equal measure. They will see the best in you and give you important feedback on both your strengths and weaknesses.
●The friend who doesn’t know any of your other friends
We like killing two birds with one stone by catching up with several groups of friends at once. __74__. It will be easier to share some of your hopes and dreams, fears and concerns knowing that they are not going to be discussed with others.
●The friend who is painfully honest
An honest friend will not always tell you what you want to hear, but they’ll certainly tell you what you need to know. __75__.
A. These people challenge you to be the best version of yourself.
B. They know you better than you know yourself and accept you unconditionally.
C. This friend is someone who does it with good intentions and for your own benefit.
D. Everyone needs a friend who you can call at all times.
E. These people enrich your life by exposing you to things that may otherwise have passed you by.
F. It’s nice and comforting to be around someone who really knows you.
G. But you need a level of privacy sometimes.

Good morning, everyone!
I’m honored to have the chance to make a speech here.
Recently I’ve found some of our classmates often stay up late into the night to do their homework and go on studying in the classroom at noon, while in class they often fall asleep, failing to listen to the teachers’ lectures. Even worse, in the morning they can’t tear themselves away from the bed as they are too tired to get up, so they usually rush out of the dormitory at the last minute without having their breakfast.
As is known to all, attending classes is the most effective and important way for us students to take in knowledge. Without enough rest one can’t concentrate on what the teachers say. All work with no play makes Jack a dull boy. And a nutritious breakfast is to a teenager what gasoline is to an engine. Only when we schedule our time properly for both our study and rest can we make great progress in our study and keep healthy as well.
That’s all, thanks for listening.
