23、是为了玩。所以选C项。5B他没有时间照顾妻子。6D从后句的I have to sleep outside可知,他经常没有地方待。7A因为没有地方待,所以吃饭或洗澡也就成了问题,故答案为A。8A从句意可知,妻子不同意他的说法,故答案为A。9D固定短语think about表示“考虑,思考”,故答案为D。10C从句意理解他去非洲应当是拍野生动物的,所以选C。11B通过后句at first she had a very enjoyable time可知,开始他的妻子非常兴奋。12A从句意可知应当是找狮子拍照。13B从后面A huge lion was chasing her.可知,他妻子被一只狮子追
24、,应当是哭了。14D从整句可知他应当是掏出相机对准他的妻子和狮子,所以答案为D。15C句意:慢一点,女士。我不能把你们两个都放在这个照片里!故答案为C。.A本文主要讲述了非洲大象的食物链对周围环境的影响,然后解释了原因。16C主旨大意题。 往往文章的第一段或最后一段是透露文章主旨的地方,而本文正是这样。从这两段可以看出,本文是关于非洲象寻找食物所带来的影响,所以应该选择C。17D词义猜测题。根据上半句尤其是existence for millions of other animals可知。18D细节理解题。open space出现在文中的第二段,由第二段的内容尤其是最后一句可以得知,这样的空地
25、很容易吸引各种各样的食草动物,所以选择D。19B细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第二句话可判断B为正确答案。20AB这篇文章包含了几则常见的、实用的广告。21C考查推理判断。由这几个广告的形式(按照广告目的的不同分成了几大类)可以看出,Classified ads就是根据某个规则把广告分成不同类型的广告。故选C。22D考查细节理解。本题的关键信息是have something advertised,也就是说是想登广告,由文章第一句For direct classified service, call 8000667可知答案。23D考查细节理解。由For sale中的Color TV 21,$150和recorder,$25可知答案。24C考查细节理解。在Help wanted中有提供的职位。25A考查细节理解。由Lost的内容可以看出,该部分是专门刊登寻物启示的。
