47、语some drivers是动宾关系，也就是说，司机是被提醒的。尽管被提醒不要酒后开车，一些司机仍然心存侥幸，这十分危险。3B考查动词的时态和语态。in the past few years为现在完成时的标志，主语“thousands of films”和谓语动词“produce”为动宾关系，所以用完成式的被动语态。句意：在过去的几年里，世界范围内数千部电影被制作。4Cstill 应该放在被修饰的形容词前面，而enough应放在被修饰的形容词之后，所以选C，意为：足够的精力充沛。5C考查动名词的用法。此处to是介词，其后him returning为动名词的复合结构。6C考查名词辨析。award
48、颁奖，奖赏。句意：他被提名为最佳男演员奖的候选人。 reward 酬劳； scholarship 奖学金； result 结果。7A本句为it用作形式主语的句型，真正的主语为that引导的主语从句。8B考查副词辨析。actually实际上； especially特别，尤其，其后可以接介词短语；practically实际上；averagely平均地。句意：在城市的一些地方，特别是主要的商业区，汽车是不允许进入的。9D考查介词短语辨析。in favour of支持。in honour of为了纪念；in terms of就而言；in view of鉴于，考虑到，由于。10A考查主动表被动形式。在“
49、be 形容词 to do”结构中，其后的不定式常用主动形式。11B考查状语从句的连接词。此处while意为：尽管。句意：尽管中国认为人民币汇率合理平衡，但是美国仍对元施加压力。12C考查名词辨析。celebration 庆祝。句意：户外庆祝因为坏天气被推迟了。 occasion 时刻； congratulation 祝贺； challenge 挑战。13Dbenefit from 从中获益；be awarded the first prize被授予一等奖。14D考查情态动词。句意：他们本该更细心地准备会议的。但他们没有这样做。真可惜！ought to have done过去本该做某事而未做。1
50、5B考查冠词。第一空为特指“已完成的那份报告”，故用定冠词the；第二空为抽象名词，不填冠词。.家庭的不幸、失业的压力和生活的窘迫并没有让我丧失道德，我将捡到的雨伞归还给了它的主人。最终善有善报，我出乎意料地找到了一份销售经理的工作。16C我没有雨伞，因为那把旧伞已经“散架”了。fall apart “破碎，散架；情绪失控；(组织)解体；(协议、关系)破裂”，符合语境。break up“(使)破碎”；go away“离开；走开”；fade away“褪色；逐渐消失”。17A由于离婚和失业，我买不起另外一把伞。afford表示“买得起；能支付”。18B根据第三段的开头“I got off the
51、 bus”可知，我在“公共汽车”上坐了下来。19B本句的后半部分提到这把伞是丝质银柄，由此可知这是一把非常“漂亮的”伞。20D这把伞做工讲究，我以前“从未”见过如此可爱的东西。21C根据第25空后面的“for the name on the umbrella.”可知，伞柄上刻有一个“名字”。22A这是在公共汽车上捡到的别人丢失的东西，正常的程序是把雨伞“上交”给售票员。turn in“上交”。23A我“想到”一个主意，决定自己带着雨伞找到失主。occur to sb“(主意或想法突然)浮现于某人的脑海中”。24D作者在倾盆大雨中下了车，由此可知作者打开这把伞遮雨时非常“感激”。25B我从电话簿
52、上“查找”雨伞上的那个名字。search“查找，搜寻”。26C我拨通电话后，一位女士“接听”了电话。此处answer表示“接电话”。27A突然有了雨伞的消息，女士自然感到非常“惊讶”。后三项分别表示“恐慌”“沉默”“愤怒”，显然不符合语境。28B此处add表示“补充说”。assume“假定”；declare“宣布，声明”；announce“宣告，公布”。29A这把伞一个月以前就被人“从”门阶前偷走了。30B女士如此激动以至于我当时“忘记”了自己正在寻找工作，径直去了那位女士的家。31C女士接过这把雨伞后，眼中溢满了“泪水”。32D根据本句内容可知，女士想给我钱作为“报酬”。33D第四段提到这是
53、女士已经去世的父母送给她的生日礼物，由此可知这是一把非常“特殊的”雨伞。34B我相信接受了她的钱就会“毁坏”某种东西。35D下一句提到也许是我的善心有了回报，由此可知我“出乎意料地”得到了一份销售经理的工作。.人口的快速增长困扰着世界。有关人士指出，控制人口快速增长的一种方式就是提高女性的受教育水平，进而改变人们头脑中固有的传统生育观念。36A篇章结构题。在本段中，作者以爱尔兰前总统Mary Robinson与埃塞俄比亚的一位已婚少女的交谈为例引入话题，所以A项正确。37C推理判断题。第二段引号中的内容提到“欧洲国家担心出现人口老龄化问题，但与人口快速增长相比，这算不了什么。几乎所有的人口增长
54、都发生在发展中国家，这将是一个巨大的挑战。”由此可推断她担心的是人口增长问题。38D推理判断题。由最后一段的最后一句可知，Joel Cohen在自然杂志中写到中等教育可以改变人们的育儿理念。39B细节理解题。根据第二段第一句前半部分中的内容可知，控制人口快速增长的最重要的方式之一是让女孩儿上学。.40.As41.lasting42.preparation43.on44.fail45.success46.advice/suggestions/tips47.available48honored49.reply 课后阅读-Too early and too late 太早和太晚Punctuality
55、 is a necessary habit in all public affairs in civilized society. Without it, nothing could ever be brought to a conclusion; everything would be in a state of chaos. Only in a sparsely-populated rural community is it possible to disregard it. In ordinary living, there can be some tolerance of unpunc
56、tuality. The intellectual, who is working on some abstruse problem, has everything coordinated and organized for the matter in hand. He is therefore forgiven, if late for a dinner party. But people are often reproached for unpunctuality when their only fault is cutting things fine. It is hard for en
57、ergetic, quick-minded people to waste time, so they are often tempted to finish a job before setting out to keep an appointment. If no accidents occur on the way, like punctured tyres, diversions of traffic, sudden descent of fog, they will be on time. They are often more industrious, useful citizen
58、s than those who are never late. The over-punctual can be as much a trial to others as the unpunctual. The guest who arrives half an hour too soon is the greatest nuisance. Some friends of my family had this irritating habit. The only thing to do was ask them to come half an hour later than the othe
59、r guests. Then they arrived just when we wanted them. If you are catching a train, it is always better to be comfortably early than even a fraction of a minute too late. Although being early may mean wasting a little time, this will be less than if you miss the train and have to wait an hour or more
60、 for the next one; and you avoid the frustration of arriving at the very moment when the train is drawing out of the station and being unable to get on it. An even harder situation is to be on the platform in good time for a train and still to see it go off without you. Such an experience befell a c
61、ertain young girl the first time she was travelling alone. She entered the station twenty minutes before the train was due, since her parents had impressed upon her that it would be unforgivable to miss it and cause the friends with whom she was going to stay to make two journeys to meet her. She ga
62、ve her luggage to a porter and showed him her ticket. To her horror he said that she was two hours too soon. She felt in her handbag for the piece of paper on which her father had written down all the details of the journey and gave it to the porter. He agreed that a train did come into the station
63、at the time on the paper and that it did stop, but only to take on mail, not passengers. The girl asked to see a timetable, feeling sure that her father could not have made such a mistake. The porter went to fetch one and arrived back with the station master, who produced it with a flourish and poin
64、ted out a microscopic o beside the time of the arrival of the train at his station; this little o indicated that the train only stopped for mail. Just as that moment the train came into the station. The girl, tears streaming down her face, begged to be allowed to slip into the guards van. But the st
65、ation master was adamant: rules could not be broken. And she had to watch that train disappear towards her destination while she was left behind. 准时是文明社会中进行一切社交活动时必须养成的习惯。不准时将一事无成，事事都会陷入混乱不堪的境地。只有在人口稀少的农村，才可以忽视准时的习惯。在日常生活中人们可以容忍一定程度的不准时。一个专心钻研某个复杂问题的知识分子，为了搞好手头的研究，要把一切都协调一致、组织周密。因此，他要是赴宴迟到了会得到谅解。但有些
66、人不准时常常是因为掐钟点所致，他们常常会受到责备。精力充沛、头脑敏捷的人极不愿意浪费时间，因此他们常想做完一件事后再去赴约。要是路上没有发生如爆胎、改道、突然起雾等意外事故，他们是决不会迟到的。他们与那些从不迟到的人相比，常常是更勤奋有用的公民。早到的人同迟到的人一样令人讨厌。客人提前半小时到达是最令人讨厌的。我家有几个朋友就有这种令人恼火的习惯。唯一的办法就是请他们比别的客人晚来半小时。这样，他们可以恰好在我们要求的时间到达。如果赶火车，早到总比晚到好，哪怕早到一会儿也好。虽然早到可能意味着浪费一点时间，但这比误了火车、等上一个多小时坐下一班车浪费的时间要少，而且可以避免那种正好在火车驶出站
67、时赶到车站，因上不去车而感到的沮丧。更难堪的情况是虽然及时赶到站台上，却眼睁睁地看着那趟火车启动，把你抛下。一个小姑娘第一次单独出门就碰到了这种情况。在火车进站20分钟前她就进了车站。因为她的父母再三跟她说，如果误了这趟车，她的东道主朋友就得接她两趟，这是不应该的。她把行李交给搬运工并给他看了车票。搬运工说她早到了两个小时，她听后大吃一惊。她从钱包里摸出一张纸条，那上面有她父亲对这次旅行的详细说明，她把这张纸条交给了搬运工。搬运工说，正如纸条上所说，确有一趟火车在那个时刻到站，但它只停站装邮件，不载旅客。姑娘要求看时刻表，因为她相信父亲不能把这么大的事给弄错。搬运工跑回去取时刻表，同时请来了站长。站长拿着时刻表一挥手，指着那趟列车到站时刻旁边的一个很小的圆圈标记。这个标记表示列车是为装邮件而停车。正在这时，火车进站了。女孩泪流满面，央求让她不声不响地到押车员车厢里去算了。但站长态度坚决，规章制度不能破环，姑娘只得眼看着那趟火车消逝在她要去的方向而撇下了她。 13
