答案与解析
1. A
主要考查固定短语。从具体语境可知句意：去北京的大巴晚了两个小时，而且，他们还想要我孩子买全额成人票，因此我非常生气。此处I might add相当于besides或moreover，是“而且”的意思，经常用作插入语。其余的选项中B、C两项不属于固定短语，D项的意思“我承认/我不得不承认”。
2. D
考查it的用法。it的两个重要用法是作形式主语和形式宾语。本题考查形式宾语，it在这里代指后面的真正宾语to have a holiday。
3. D
考查固定短语。have difficulty （in） doing sth.“做某事有困难”。
4. C
考查短语及动词时态。根据句意，say用一般过去时，则sell需用过去完成时，表示过去已经销售；compared to“与……相比”。
5. A
考查词义辨析。空格处表示“常见的，普遍的”，应选A。B项意为“正常的”；C项意为“普通的，平常的”；D项意为“通常的”。
6. C
suggest后接动名词，故选C。
7. C
lead to中to为介词，介词的宾语为v. –ing形式，此处又表示被动，故选C。
8. A
考查固定词组。由空格所在处句意“毕竟她是一个伟大的音乐家”可知选A。B项意为“结果”；C项意为“换句话说”；D项意为“像往常一样”。
9. B
句意为“我想买一所房子—现代的，舒适的，最重要的是要在一个安静的小区”。above all“首先，最重要的是”，符合句意。
10. A
suggest表示“表明；暗示”时，其后的宾语从句不用虚拟语气。
11. A
suggest作“建议”讲时，其后的从句用虚拟语气即“（should+）动词原形”的形式，故选A。
12. D
not much of意为“不很，不怎么样”；make a difference意为“有影响”，故选D。
13. A
lead to意为“导致”，其后可接名词或动名词形式。故选A。
14. B
lead a…life“过着……的生活”，故选B。

D．in the twenty
解析：选B。in his twenties是固定用法，表示“在他二十多岁时”。
2．A.open
B．exploit
C．cover
D．expose
解析：选D。根据本句句子结构，此处动词应当与前面的并列动词reveal“揭露”同义。expose表示“揭露，揭穿”，符合语境。open打开；exploit开发；cover覆盖。

5．A.such like
B．such as
C．for example
D．for instance
解析：选B。such as后多接同类并列的几个名词，不接句子；for example和for instance同义，它们后面常接句子，有时后面可接一个名词。

C．Since
D．Before
解析：选B。此处是时间状语，表示同时发生的动作，用While。
7．A.looked down upon

D．to an end
解析：选A。此处表示“最终”，用in the end。

D．worthless
解析：选D。由空前的“一个没有善行的人”推断用worthless，表示“无价值的，无用的”。且下文中的“He who is with...and useful person”也有提示。gracious亲切的；earnest真挚的；modest谦逊的。
18．A.where
B．in that
C．that
D．by which

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped
In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is----politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg----the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority----someone who actually knows something ---- and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
67. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations.
B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner.
D. Neither can be put to an end.
68. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
69. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ___________.
A. give orders to the other
B. know more than the other
C. gain respect from the other
D. get the other to behave properly
70. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts.
B. Examples of the parent-teen war.
C. Future of the parent-teen relationship.
D. Solutions for the parent-teen problems.
