24、何？”表示说话人向别人提问对于某事的看法，故答案为A，意为“哦，真是太好了”。答案：A2解析：考查形容词词义辨析。reliable可靠的；accessible可进入的；available有效的，可得的；convenient方便的。由语境可知，那所偏远的山村学校只有步行才能到达。答案：B3解析：考查冠词。句意为：最近，一份科学报告指出，驾驶员在路上使用手机更容易发生事故。on the road为固定搭配，意为“在路上”；_accidents表示泛指，第二空不需要填冠词。答案：C4解析：考查状语从句。句意为：不要泄气。顺其自然，你就会享受生活中的每一天。as引导方式状语从句，意为“照方式”。答案：
25、B5解析：考查固定结构。句意为：再过一周，我们就将离校放假了。祈使句/名词短语and/or陈述句，为固定表达结构。其中，前面的祈使句或名词短语相当于if引导的条件句，如用and，前面相当于肯定的if条件句；如用or，则前面相当于否定的条件句。根据语境可知，前面相当于肯定的if条件句。答案：C6解析：考查动词短语辨析。句意为：大多数餐厅和咖啡馆没有执行法律而是留出了小的无烟区。set aside留出，符合句意。set out动身；set down记下，登记；set off出发，动身。答案：A7解析：考查情态动词。句意为：虽然根据规定高中生在校不能使用手机，但是他们可以使用公共电话来和朋友家人保持

28、，刚刚到达爱丁堡。when意为“就在那时”；until意为“直到才”；after意为“在之后”；since意为“自从”。根据语境可知，应选D。答案：D14解析：考查虚拟语气。本题是由if引导的虚拟条件句。根据条件状语从句中谓语动词使用过去完成时可知，此处表示与过去事实相反的虚拟，所以主句的谓语动词应用“would have done”。答案：D15解析：考查动词时态。句意为：你现在比我原想的要年轻。expect这一动作发生在过去，所以用一般过去时。答案：C.完形填空语篇解读有时候，接受就是一种给予。动物如此，人类更应该如此。1解析：根据妈妈是技艺精湛的女裁缝和下文“my most fashio
