A simila
10、r product in the grocery store costs 59 cents more per can.”（基本上是一种来自Chicken of the Sea的产品，5盎司罐装的Van Camp的大块白色长鳍金枪鱼在Dollar Tree的售价为1美元/罐。杂货店的一种类似的产品每罐贵59美分。），可知杂货店买一罐类似的金枪鱼大概要$1.59（1美元+59美分）。故选C项。【2题详解】细节理解题。由倒数第二段的“For storing food, childrens supplies, or whatever your household needs may be, there
11、s nothing better than plastic storage containers.”（对于储存食物，儿童用品，或任何你的家庭需要，没有什么比塑料容器更好的了。），可知塑料容器最适合储存食物。故选D项。【3题详解】细节理解题。由第二段“Essentially a product from Chicken of the Sea, 5-ounce cans of Van Camps Chunk White Albacore Tuna in Water are available for $1 per can at Dollar Tree.

13、iu softgels is only $11.99.

Womens mini-crew socks come in three-co
14、unt packs for $1. A three-count of similar socks at Albertsons will cost $6.59 and theres much less variety.”（DollarTree有很多男式、女式和儿童短袜可供选择。女式迷你圆领短袜分三种，每包1美元。在Albertson的三个类似的袜子计数将花费6.59美元，品种叶少得多。），可知Dollar Tree买袜子划算，Albertson买袜子不划算；因此在Trader Joes和Dollar Tree能买到便宜点的东西。故选B项。BA shop owner placed a sign a

23、狗，他决定以全价把它买下，虽然老板愿意免费赠送。小男孩认为残疾的狗有着与正常狗一样的价值和尊严，我们不能歧视它们，这是小男孩带给我们的心灵反思。【4题详解】推理判断题。由第三段“The store owner replied, “Anywhere from $30 to $50.”（店主回答说：“从30美元到50美元不等。”）和第七段中的“That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and Ill pay full price.”（那只小狗和其他狗一样值钱，我要付全价。）可知狗至少30美元起，小男孩要全价买，
24、可推断出小男孩决定至少付给主人30美元买这条跛脚的狗。故选C项。【5题详解】细节理解题。由最后一段中的“To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace.”（令他吃惊的是，小男孩伸手卷起裤腿，露出一条严重扭曲、残废的左腿，腿上有一个大金属支架。）可知店主感到惊讶是因为那个男孩也有残疾。故选A项。【6题详解】词句猜测题。由倒数第二段中的“The shop

He is never going to be able to run and play with you like the other puppies.”（店主countered：“你真的不要买这只小狗。它再也不能像其他小狗那样和你一起奔跑和玩耍了。”）可知店主辩解让小男孩不要买这只残疾的小狗，还说明了不买它的理由，可推断出countered在此处意为“argue（争辩、说理）”。故选B项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。由全文语境和最后一段中的“He looked up
26、at the shop owner and softly replied, “Well, I dont run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands!”（他抬头看了看店主，轻轻地回答说：“嗯，我自己跑得不太好，小狗需要一个能理解它的人！”）可知身有残疾的小男孩看到了一只与他同病相怜的小狗，他决定以全价把它买下，虽然老板愿意免费赠送。小男孩认为残疾的狗有着与正常狗一样的价值和尊严，我们不能歧视它们，小狗需要一个能理解它的人，可知本文主要讲的是“理解”。故选D项。CTristan da Cunh

67、了鸽子，彩虹和橄榄枝三种事物作为和平象征的历史和原因。【16题详解】第一段“Think about how we greet people.（想想我们是如何问候别人的。）”句中的how提示下文将在问候方式方面进行展开叙述。空后的“we greet people by shaking hands or with another gesture（我们通过握手或其他手势来问候别人）”是关于手势或动作的问候方式；“And there are certain symbols（有一些特定的符号）”是关于特定符号的问候方式，选项C是关于语言的问候方式，与上下文衔接紧密。故选C项。【17题详解】第二段中“In
