20、候”，用late的比较级。2until根据句意可以猜测出其意思是“直到”，用until/till，即“等到车来”。3sitting/sit作感官动词notice的宾语补足语，与notice的动作同时进行，用v.ing形式；表示客观事实，notice的宾语补足语用不带to的动词不定式。“看见某人在做某事”用notice sb doing/do sth。4was pretending所填词表示当时正在进行的动作，用过去进行时。注意与后面的giving it a voice并列。5mentally修饰形容词作状语，应用副词。6whom由talk可知，用to whom引导定语从句。先行词是people
21、，关系词在从句中作介词to的宾语，用whom。7they作句子主语，指代前文中的people，故用人称代词的主格they。8on此处所填词与ones own构成搭配，固定词组on ones own (alone)，作状语，用on。9an此处所填词构成短语have a/anconversation，意思是“一次的交谈”，根据amazing可知用冠词an。10both作made的宾语用代词；又由上文We (指I and the mentally disabled man) had an amazing conversation.可知，本句中的us指作者和那个弱智者“两人都”很高兴，故此处用both
22、。.由西雅图公共图书馆发起的一个鼓励人们在同一个时间共读一本书的活动迅速传遍了美国，甚至走向了世界。文章向我们讲述了该项活动的实施以及所取得的成绩。11B考查细节理解。文章第二段告诉我们Nancy发动该活动的目的：encouraging reading和promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools，由此可知B 项正确。12C考查细节理解。倒数第二段告诉我们在纽约该活动启动困难的原因：New York，where local readers could not decide on one book
23、to represent the huge and diverse population. 选项中different backgrounds对应原文的diverse population。13D考查细节理解。倒数第二段This may show that the idea works best in mediumsized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved.中的large towns和a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved分别对应选项中
24、的large towns和agreement can be quickly reached。14A考查词义猜测。由语境可知，该短语就是对上文中enjoyed speaking to someone的另外一种说法，故选A。15C考查细节理解。题干中的According to Nancy，对应文章的as Nancy points out。由最后一段the level of success is not measuredby how many people are enriched by the process，or可以看出，该活动成功的标准在于，有多少人通过该活动丰富了自己、有多少人喜欢上了和从来没有和自己说过话的人进行交流，也就是选项所说的从该活动中受益的人数的多少。.1620FBCAE版权所有：高考资源网()
