8、oo large nor too small,like Sapporo where I live,are better choices.”说明作者喜欢住在中等城市。neither too large nor too small表示是一个不大不小的城市，即大小适中的城市，与a city of middle size同义。57.A这是一道细节题。根据第三段中的“If you want to devote yourself to private teaching,its well worth doing a TEFL course first,because your lessons will be
9、 much better for it.”可判断出为了把私立教学搞好，首先要参加TEFL课程，因为，TEFL课程可以使私立教学搞得更好。58.D这是一道猜测词义题。根据上文中的“I came to Japan two years ago,and didnt think I would stay,but Japan has that effect on you.”可判断出这句话的意思是“日本有些比想象更吸引人的东西”。作者本来没有打算待在日本，但是在那儿已待了两年，这超出了预料，其原因是日本有一些吸引人的东西。59.B这是一道词义猜测题。根据下文中的“.even teachers with ti
10、ckets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off”可判断出reluctant意为“不愿意”，因为“had trouble getting the day off”表示在休假方面有困难，说明校方不愿意让教师休假。黑色陷阱：第59题，就“The schools are reluctant to take time off”不容易猜测出词义，但看后文“even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the

15、文化艺术之旅，E项中这位教授的头衔就等于告诉了我们答案：伦敦大学意大利学系主任。另一个线索21 days to visit five Italian cities starting from London，也验证了这是一次从伦敦到意大利的旅行，随行的有伦敦去的了解意大利的专业人士。第二则说的是以色列的联合农庄劳动之旅。这里面没有涉及什么优美的环境，而是介绍劳动时间和住宿情况，所以最适宜的应该是A。第三则是加勒比海的休闲之旅，这里描述得最多的是美景和娱乐。而开头说明了旅馆，应该紧接着说明所在的地点，因此C项是最佳答案。绿色通道：做此类题，最重要的是看懂上下文，利用细节排除不符合逻辑的选项，选出最佳答案。志鸿巧学法园地需要用定冠词的名词歌诀独一无二最高级，山河海岛奏乐器。阶级党派上报纸，国家组织上杂志。已说过的人或事，同一东西大家知。姓氏前是“一家子”，序数前表“第几”。
