26、不计入总词数)。参考词汇：portion (餐馆食物的)一份As is shown in the picture, an old couple insist on ordering only half of a portion to eat in a restaurant._答 案.1.选B句意：玛丽刚开始在公司是临时秘书，但最终她在这里得到了一份全职的工作。temporary“暂时的，临时的”，符合语境。pessimistic“悲观的”；previous“先前的”；cautious“谨慎的”。2选B句意：他们不能学好英语的主要原因是他们没有看到英语的重要性。也就是说，他们缺乏学习英语的动力。
27、inspiration“激情”；motivation“动机，动力”；regulation“规则，条例”；cooperation“合作”。3选B句意：一辆小汽车撞上一群中学生，其中两名学生立刻被送往医院。空格前后两部分之间没有连词，且后半部分若是一个非限定性定语从句，send与two of them之间是动宾关系，应该用two of whom were sent .，但选项中没有，故此处不是非限定性定语从句，而是独立主格结构，此处用send的过去分词，表示被动。故选B。4选C句意：“我们讨论一下昨晚提出的问题，好吗？”“没必要那么急。我正要去参加一个会议。”head for表示“朝着前进，走去”
28、，此处是用进行时表示将来。5选Achildren 和surround存在逻辑上的主动关系，故用现在分词作宾语补足语。6选C句意：这个到2015年竣工的工程将大大扩展这个城市的电话网络。动词不定式的被动形式表示“将要被”，作project的定语。7选D句意：这位巨星在他的经纪人的陪同下，出现在法庭上。the superstar与accompany构成逻辑上的动宾关系，故此处用动词的ed形式表示伴随。8选C句意：他毕业于一所重点大学，我认为他足以胜任这份工作。adequate“胜任的，合格的”，符合题意。delicate“易碎的，精致的”；compulsory“义务的”；suitable“适合的，

30、是太棒了”，符合句意。12选C句意：有些人试图把我击倒，结果却使我更加坚定地去把事情做得更好。only与不定式连用，用来表示意想不到的结果。13选B主语从句中动词若有do的某种形式，作表语的不定式可以省略to；若动词不是do的某种形式，则用带to的不定式。14选C考查动词辨析。句意：不能适应现代生活常常给我们的工作带来麻烦。adopt“采用，收养”；apply“应用，申请”；adapt“适应，改编”；appoint“约定，任命”。根据题意选C。15选D第一空用现在分词作定语；第二空符合“assist sb. in doing sth.(帮助某人做某事)”结构，故选D。.语篇解读：作者通过自己与
31、孩子的故事告诉读者：父母应该多找机会和孩子相处，与他们一起创造美好的回忆。1选A标题归纳题。作者通过自己家里的故事告诉读者：孩子长大了，大多数时候更愿意和朋友们待在一起，但父母仍应创造机会和他们相处，与孩子们共同创造美好的回忆。因此A项作为标题最合适。2选B词义猜测题。根据上一句“We both laughed and cried during the same scenes in the movie.”可知，作者的女儿看这部电影的时候十分投入，她应该非常喜欢这部电影，故选B项。3选C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，作者的儿子养的宠物都死得很快，他应该非常难过。故选C项。4选D细节理解题。根据
32、第二段中的“ .I wanted this story to give her .I wanted her to know better how .”可知，作者选择和女儿一起看Cinema Paradise(天堂电影院)是为了让她了解自己的成长经历。故选D项。5选D细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段中的“Because my son had suffered with asthma and allergies (哮喘和过敏) .”可知D项正确。语篇解读：财富和健康并不能保证一定会带来幸福感，幸福和财富的多少不成正比。6选D细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“The people least like
33、ly to report positive emotions lived in Singapore”可知D项正确。7选B词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“about 1,000 people in each of 148 countries if they were wellrested, had been treated with respect”可知，应该是一个机构对不同国家的人进行调查，故选B项。8选C细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Guatemala sits just above Iraq .it ranks seventh in positive emotions.”可知应选C项。9选
34、A标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要告诉我们财富和健康并不能保证一定会带来幸福感，幸福和财富的多少不成正比。故A项为最佳标题。.参考范文：As is shown in the picture, an old couple insist on ordering only half of a portion to eat in a restaurant.
