答案与解析
1. D 本题在考查宾语从句知识的同时，还考查how long，how often和how soon的用法。由于在宾语从句中，从句的主语和谓语的顺序不能颠倒，故排除B, C两项。由题意可知，此处要表达的意思是“要多久”，故选D项。
2. B 题意：那个错误让他丧了命。本题考查动词的辨析与用法。cost可接双宾语，意为“使某人丧失……”。cost的过去式为cost而非costed。
3. C 考查名词辨析。句意：……毫无疑问，西方人认为中国饮食很特殊。空格后介词是towards，因此这里用one's attitude towards sth．表示“对待某事的态度”。其他选项不符合语境。
4. D 考查名词辨义。由后面的“they both want their son to go to college”可知前面表示他们俩有共同的想法，由此可知本题选D项。
5. D 本题考查名词辨义。句意：在一周的七天中，周六据说是有些国家举行婚礼最受欢迎的选择。way“方式”；situation“形势，状况”；event“事件”。
6. C 考查冠词。第一空为类指，表示自行车，用“the+单数可数名词”，第二空为泛指，表示一种工具，故用不定冠词a。
7. A
考查冠词。前一个空格处是泛指，“一个苹果”用an apple表示；hit sb. on the head是固定搭配，要用定冠词the。
8. B
考查名词辨义。在甩卖中买的这条裙子只花了10美元，所以应该是一个便宜货（bargain)，而不是“交换（exchange)” 。如果不注意主语it指的是上句中的dress，就会误选“trade（贸易）”和“business（交易）”。
9. B 本题考查虚拟语气。本句为一个错综复杂的虚拟条件句，主句时间状语为today，叙述的是与现在事实相反的情况；从句时间状语为 at the age of nine，叙述的是与过去事实相反的情况，此处应用had done形式，故选B项。
10. C 句意：根据美国近期的调查，孩子们一周内花在看电视上的时间上升到了25个小时。本题考查spend... (in) doing sth.结构，意为“花费（时间）做某事”，是一个固定搭配。
11. C 与过去事实相反的虚拟条件句，应用下列句型：条件从句的谓语动词为had+过去分词，主句的谓语动词为should(would)+现在完成时。
12. A 考查名词辨义。句意：狗有非常灵敏的嗅觉，经常被用来搜寻地震中的幸存者。此处sense表示“感觉官能”。后三项分别表示“观点”、“方法”、“主意”，都不符合常识及句意。
13. A 考查名词词义辨析。根据后面的“of having...”可知此处只能用sense，构成What's the sense of doing sth．句型，意思是：……有何感觉？
14. D 考查冠词。go for a walk表示“去散步”，为固定短语，第二空用定冠词the，表示自己没有出去走走的精力了。
15. B 考查名词辨义。bill账单，钞票；expense费用，开销；price价格，价钱；charge要价。句意：一月一千美元并不多，但也足够我生活的开支。所以本题选B项。
16. D 考查名词辨义。句意：早晨在公园里慢跑、早饭期间读报都是我的“惯例”，所以用routine。A项表示“操练”；B项表示“行动”；C项表示“规则，规定”，意思都不恰当。
C sight表示“情景，景象”； look“容貌，外表”；sign“符号，迹象”； appearance“外貌，出现”。只有C项符合语境。

D（2017安徽卷）
“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email.
However, rudeness is never acceptable, Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings.Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step ia acknowledging our shortcomings.People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more help if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.
68.What can be infend from the underlined sentence in Paragraph I?
A.People can tell good from bad behavior.
B.Radar is able tu obserbe human behabior.
C. People care little about their behabior.
D. Radar can be used to predict human behabior.
69.Some people are less willing to deal with humans because
A.they are becoming less patient
B.they are growing too independent
C.they have to handle many important messages
D.they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.
70.The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is
A.Ridiculous B.disgusting C.acceptable D.reasonable
71.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.We should applaud good behabior.
B.Technology can neber be blamed
C.We should keep pointing out mistakes.
D.Technology will take over lives one day.
【要点综述】本文主要讲诉了随着生活节奏的加快，人们变得越来越无礼，很多人不再关心礼貌问题。现在有越来越多的人喜欢借助电子产品来做一切事情，如用手机匿名的恶意短信。但是无论如何，这种粗鲁的行为是不可接受的，出现这个问题，我们需要谴责的不是这些电子产品，而是要不断检查我们自己的行为，认识到什么才是正确的行为习惯。
68.【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据前文People are ruder today，当今人们比以前粗鲁了，及下文描述，可知选C，人们不太关心他们的行为了。
69.【答案】A
【解析】根据第二段To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward可知他们对于真实的人打交道变得更没耐心了，故选A。
70.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting，可知用匿名的短信骚扰别人是残忍的和令人讨厌的，故选B。
71. 【答案】A
【解析】主旨概括题。这段主要是讲我们应该了解我们的缺点，但是如果公开的认可好的行为习惯，将会更有帮助，故选A，我们应该鼓励好的行为。
