28、in a series of events“相应地、转而”。in return意为：in exchange or as payment“作为的交换，作为的回报”。5.C 该题中的her prettiness属于Lisa的优点之一。故用apart from。6.A 句意：我通过了法语笔试，但是没通过英语口语考试。get through通过。look through浏览；go through经历；live through度过。7.B 句意：在清新的空气中散步对我们的健康非常有益。be of great benefit相当于very beneficial，of和名词之间的修饰语只能是much，lit

C 推理判断题。本句的意思是这种软件现在只是由Google公司的职员在试用，还没有对公众开放使用，但是Google表示，目前正建设公司并寻找有合作意向的公司使这项新发明受益更多家庭，所以选C。 3.D 细节理解题。在第一段说到了G
31、oogle为了响应全球的节约能源计划研发的软件是为了节约能源减少用电支出，第二段提出了PowerMeter就是Google的工具程序，可分析家中电器的用电情况。第三段更是强调different appliances或 family activities的耗电量，所以主要是针对家庭使用的。4.A 细节理解题。前三段说到了Google表示，大多数的使用者都不知道家中的电器使用多少电量，或是哪些地方浪费电，或者并不了解不同的季节账单金额会有所变动。当使用者清楚了解各种电器的用电量后，就能找到节省能源的方式并减少电费。所以他们在文中提到的研发的软件是为了节能。5.D 主旨大意题。第一、二段主要描述了B
32、roome的自然位置，表明这是一个偏远的小镇，属于客观描述，不涉及作者感情。只有D项是对事实的概括，而其他选项都涉及了评价。6.B 细节理解题。第四段中冒号后面的内容明确表明了太阳电影院的独特之处。A项并不是它的独特之处。C、D两项的陈述都不对。7.C 细节理解题。本题考查对stars 的理解。从第八段的This(指Broome)可以看出，one set in the sky，the other in the film是指在这里既可以看到天空中的星星，同时又能看到电影里的明星。由此可见，Gregory Peck 应该是电影明星（罗马假日主演格里高利派克）。8.C 推理判断题。从倒数第四段可以看出，游客们喜欢到太阳电影院看电影，而第二段已经指出光顾电影院是两种娱乐方式之一，且全文的重点也是太阳电影院。
