25、引导名词性从句时，没有实际含义，不合题意。whether意为“是否”，符合题目要求。3选B句意：我们达成协议，双方必须努力增强更大的信任和信心，这反过来必将带来更多的合作。in time“及时；终于”；in turn“转而”；in return“作为回报”；in total“总计”。只有B符合句意。4选B句意：烟和酒精对健康危害极大，能很容易地使我们的身体虚弱。do harm to为固定短语，意为“对有伤害”；weakening后有定语of our bodies修饰，表特指，所以用定冠词the。5选C此处为形容词作伴随状语，puzzled此处修饰人，而puzzling不能修饰人，只能修饰物，所
26、以选C。6选C句意：互联网让人们快速获得他们需要的信息成为可能。分析题目可知空格处要用it充当形式宾语，而后面的动词不定式为真正的宾语。7选A句意：美国和中国应该信任彼此防止误解。prevent“防止”；permit“允许；准许”；puzzle“使迷惑；使为难”，multiply“增加”。根据句意选A。8选B句意：“还有希望救他的命吗？”“他的伤太重了，但是他还有希望康复。”pull through“康复”，符合句意。pull in“吸引；(火车)进站”；pull up“停车；停住”；pull over“靠向路边”。9选A句意：这个工人一个月挣的钱很少，因此不得不靠方便面度日。exist on

30、有人(Nobody)能发出你所发出的声音。”10选C参见上题解析。另外，20空后的“nobody else”是线索提示。11选B你发出的声音可能和别人的都不一样，但是谁又能说哪个声音更好(better)呢。12选A俗话说，情人眼里出西施。beauty“美”，符合语境。13.选C根据12空后的“in the eye of the beholder (观看者)”和13空前的“in the ear of”可知此处应用listener。14选D每个人都有只属于(belongs to)自己的音调。15选C根据上下文内容可知，15空前后的两个句子是并列关系，故选and。16选D我们都认识那些有着令人难忘的
31、笑声或独特的说话(speaking)方式的人。17选B17空前的“It might not be the sound of your music or your voice at all.”中出现的“might”与本句对应。18选D每个人都以某种方式影响着这个世界。have an effect on“对有影响”，是固定搭配。19选A别人可以做你能做的事，但他们不能用和你完全相同的方法去做。exactly“准确地，确切地”，符合语境。20选C下次你感到泄气的(discouraged)时候，要记住没有人能发出你所发出的声音。此处与2空前的“Discouragement”和9空后的“a discou
32、raged student”相呼应。.语篇解读：文章报道了陨石在俄罗斯乌拉尔地区爆炸，导致1 200人受伤的事件。1选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“exploded over central Russia on Feb. 15,2013”以及倒数第二段中的“rescue and cleanup workers were sent to Urals Region”可知，陨石在俄罗斯乌拉尔地区爆炸。2选A词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“causing a shock wave that smashed windows, damaged buildings and injured 1,200 people”以及第四段中的“thousands of windows were broken”可推知，smashed与broke的意思最接近。3选D细节理解题。根据第四段中的“mobile phone networks were interrupted for a short time”可知D项正确。4选C标题归纳题。第一段是本则新闻的主旨，C项既点明了事件主题“陨石袭击俄罗斯”，又报道了其后果“1 200人受伤”，所以选C项。
