71、e slow，dirty and crowdedSomething must be done to improve the conditions of buses for their public uses 部分解析 21B。题干的后半句是对前半句（祈使句）的解释或补充说明。意为“喝一点这种果汁，你也许会喜欢它”。 22D。for在此处的意思是“限于”；而to常表示一般意义上的“对于”。be tall enough for ones age“对于他这个年龄来说已经够高了”。 23D。so he does是指“他确实这样做了”，表示对上文的肯定或强调。so do you是指“你也一样”，表示前者
72、（Tom）的情况也适用于后者（you），前后非同一主语。 24A。How do you find？为固定句型，相当于What do you think of？ 25A。besides“另外”；however“然而”。 26B。how often“多久一次”，表示频率，故在此用every 名词；同时every与few连接时，不加a。 27A。enough作副词时要放在形容词之后。 28C。after all“毕竟”。 29D。realize侧重指认识上的觉醒，意思是“意识到”；recognize是指“认出来”以往见过的人或物；know“了解”。 30B。tooadjforn表示“对实在太”；“太
73、以致不能”。 31D。由时间状语all morning可以确定此句应用现在完成进行时，表示从过去某一时刻开始一直持续到现在的动作或情况（状态）。 32C。including在许多上下文中用作介词，其后直接跟宾语，指整体的一部分或几部分。当它修饰全句时，可放在句首或句末。含有补充说明的意思。where they were为地点状语，意思是“原来的地方”。 33B。此处考查find接宾语补足语的用法。A、C、D三项干扰性很强，根据常识应为“（扒手）掏兜”。 34A。leave sb.a message“给某人留个口信”。 35B。当对别人的成就或成功表示祝贺时，通常用congratulations
74、。 36C。因其工作的商店经营的不太好，所以他所得的工资不多。 37A。由上文可知，他希望和家人一起去度假，但是赚的钱不多，所以尽量攒钱。 38D。and连接的是并列成分，午饭只用面包充饥是为了省钱，戒烟也是为了省钱，所以用stop。 39B。由下文可知。 40D。由下文可知。 41B。MrBall与家人乘车旅行，所以他车开得特别慢，以便更清楚地欣赏沿途的景色。 42A。由句子his children got to know a lot of rare animals可知，他们去了动物园。 43C。该句表示“他们在饭店享用美味佳肴”。 44D。由下文可知。 45C。spend the nigh
75、t“过夜”。 46B。由下文可知。 48B。上文提到“something was wrong with their car”，所以需要修理。 49A。come towards“朝着走过来”。 50D。根据常识判断。 53C。由句意可知。 54B。call out“大声叫喊”，说明Mrs Ball很气愤。 55D。由上文可知。 56B。由第4段可知“kids under 4th grade should stay with 10 percent，older kids dont go beyond 15 percent，”可知（40156）。 57C。由文章第三段可知，书包过重给孩子们造成的结果是
76、Many of them have hurt their knees，backs or necks 58D。从全文分析，本篇讲述的是书包过重对孩子们造成的危害，所以答案D最为贴切。 59C。由倒数第二段可知。 60C。由文章第三段最后一句可知，作者及他的小伙伴只是在骄阳似火、热得难以忍受的时候才去水中游泳，故“有时在河水中游泳”符合题意。 62C。倒数第二段列举的都是淘气的种种表现。 63D。由文章最后一段“学习负担过重，我很少回家看我的老朋友”可知。 64A。由文章末句可知。 65A。本文主要讲述的是南非小说家JMCoetzee获得Booker Prize的有关情况，整篇文章围绕这一话题展开
77、，所以A项正确。 66C。一个人获得英国最高文学奖，靠的是自己的真才实学，并非是幸运的缘故。所以JMCoetzee说他“吉星高照”，完全是一种谦虚的表现。 67A。本题为归纳总结。由第一段第一句话与最后一句话可知。 68B。由文章第二段可知。 69C。由文章第二段可知。 70D。文中提及当Levi Strauss听矿工说找不到适合那项工作（淘金）的结实耐穿的服装时，他得到启示，把帆布制成衣服，说明他“聪明”；同时从全文把握，又可知其“勤奋”，所以答案为D。 71C。由文章第一段第二句可知。 72D。由文章第二段第二句可知。 73B。由文章第二段but when he opened his ey
78、es，he didnt dare to believe that he saw a plough lying near the wall可知。 74D。由第三段第一句可知。 75A。由上下文推测可知。 76morning在此为一具体时间，所以用介词on。 77office building为单数可数名词，在此属泛指。 78to为不定式符号，所以后面用动词原形。 79前后两句话含有转折的意味，所以用连词but。 80last表示“持续；延续”，为不及物动词，无被动形式。 81hour为可数名词，并且前面被数词two修饰，故用复数。 83本句话中主语为a theatre and a post-office，为复数概念，谓语动词应与之保持一致。 84此处many指受伤的人多，可数。 85be unknown to“为所不知”。
