21、Astory故事，事情。出现事故，警察应了解事情的经过。damage 破坏；challenge 挑战；material物质，材料。4A根据后文tell them about it 可知作者是打电话告诉警察事情的经过。5D作者虽然不“负责”这里的事情，但他却主动帮助警察了解事故经过。6B由空后的back可知选B。get back获得回报。其他选项均不能与back搭配。7Creturn回报。根据转折连词though和下文所列举的事例表明，帮助别人有时候在不经意时也会得到回报。8C根据下文的postmaster说的话“.delivering a special delivery to your ho
22、me”中可知答案为delivery。9Baddress此处为动词，表示“注明的地址”。句意为：“信上标明收信人的地址是我办公室的地址，但邮递员却把它送到了我的家里。”10Dappreciation欣赏，赞赏。邮递员把本来该送到办公室的信送到家里，人们通常只会责备他们，而作者却与此相反，非但没有责备，而是写了一封表扬信。11D本句为定语从句，横线上所缺动词的宾语为new business。start new business意为“开办新业务。”12D邮局里没有剩余的邮箱，要想安装邮箱，只能“等”到有的时候。13B根据故事发生的地点，可排除library, yard。另外，根据介词in排除wind
23、ow。作者正要离开，邮递员在门口拦住了他。14C本句句意为：“在这个邮局里，你应该得到一个邮箱，即便是我们给你做一个。”luckily幸运地；mostly大多数；certainly当然；hardly几乎不。故只有C项符合句意。15C本题考查“nothing but.”结构意为“什么都没有除了”。二、本文讲述了慈善家布鲁克阿斯特夫人的一生。1helpingsb.spend time (in) doing sth.某人花(时间、精力)做某事。2marriages由空前的数词two及形容词earlier可知应填名词。3that/whichhad been rich前缺主语。这是定语从句，只能用tha
24、t/which。4richest考察“one ofthe形容词最高级复词复数”，意为“最之一”。5foundedfound创办，成立；建立。此处为过去分词短语作定语，表被动。6awaygive away赠送；赠予；颁发，为固定搭配。7mainly修饰前面的动词gave应用副词。8where主句中的that指New York City。9wellas well as也，又，和。10without“没有”她的支持，就成就不了现在的纽约。三、真的能够尽情品尝美味不增加体重吗？休斯敦贝勒医学院的一项实验为你展示了人类控制体重的最新研究成果。1A词义猜测题。此处所说的任务是指第一段中作者指出的大量进食体重却不增加。故选A。2B细节理解题。作者在第四段指出要想多吃还不胖，除非变成休斯敦贝勒医学院减肥实验中所用的那只老鼠。故选B。3A细节理解题。根据第六段第一句话可知，没有酶的老鼠的身体仍然健康如故，能繁育后代，行为与其他老鼠并无两样。故选A。4C推理判断题。文章最后两段说明此类药物仍在开发过程中，还未在人类身上进行实验。目前要想保持体重，关键还是在于不要过量饮食。故选C。5D主旨大意题。本文主要介绍休斯敦贝勒医学院的一项新的研究，这将可能给肥胖者带来福音。
