36、解题。根据文章首句“Your house may have an effect on your figure.”(你的房子可能会影响你的身材。)以及下面几个段落中提到的建议可知，本文是关于如何不变胖的，所以那些“关心自己体形的人”会觉得本文特别有帮助，故选B项。A项“家的舒适条件”；C项“购买房子”；D项“健康饮食”。【答案】B13A home environment in blue can help people_.Adigest food betterBreduce food intakeCburn more caloriesDregain their appetites【解析】细节理解题

51、of miles away，only by phone，再结合全文可知that little device是指电话，由此可判断选D项：他们从来没有见到(meet)过你。accept接受；notice注意；hear听说；meet遇见。【答案】D22A.cameBmovedCranDdeveloped【解析】上下文语境题。他们对你的了解全部通过这台装置，有时是来自数百英里之外。come from“来自”，符合语境。come来；move移动；run跑；develop开发，培养。【答案】A23A.ThusBYetCThenDIndeed【解析】上下文语境题。前文提到“他们对你的了解全部通过这台装置，有

53、 your voice而错选B项“voice”，但是文章开头说到“that little device”，因此这里讲的是“你书桌上的那台小装置”，下文也提到only by phone和travel through wires，因此本题选A项“电话”。telephone电话；voice嗓音；connection联系；impression印象。【答案】A26A.directBusefulCeasyDaccurate【解析】下文语境题。通读下文可知，作者开始时因为瑞妮在电话里的声音很冷淡而生气，但见面后，却发现她是个wonderful lady，因此该空选accurate“准确的”，此处是说(电话是
54、)强大的，但不总是准确的。direct直接的；useful有用的；easy容易的；accurate准确的。【答案】D27A.in personBby myselfCin publicDon purpose【解析】上文语境题。in person表示“亲自”，never met in person与上文的faceless相呼应。in person亲自；by oneself独自；in public公开地；on purpose故意地。【答案】A28A.annoyedBinterestedCdiscouragedDconfused【解析】上文语境题。作者的这个旅行代理人总能给他最低价格(rockbott
55、om prices)，但是她冷冰冰的声音让作者不开心，根据语境可知选A项“annoyed”。annoyed生气的；interested感兴趣的；discouraged沮丧的；confused困惑不解的。【答案】A29A.promoteBtrainCfindDknow【解析】上文语境题。作者对瑞妮冷冰冰的语气很是气恼，有时希望另外找个代理人。promote提升；train训练；find找到；know知道。【答案】C30A.arrangeBpostponeCconfirmDbook【解析】下文语境题。由下文的a family emergency可知，作者家中有急事，需要马上坐飞机回家，故选book

57、文语境题。作者跑到瑞妮的办公室，坐在桌旁的瑞妮看到(see)作者着急的样子就跳了起来，满是同情。expect期待；see看见；test检测；avoid避免。【答案】B33A.shyBcomfortingCfamiliarDforced【解析】上文语境题。根据上文中madness可知作者很着急，因此这里用comforting“令人欣慰的”：她给了我一个令人欣慰的微笑。shy腼腆的；comforting令人安慰的；familiar熟悉的；forced勉强的。【答案】B34A.billBformCticketDlist【解析】上文语境题。上文提到作者家里有急事，需要立即坐飞机回去(an immedi
