26、松和友情。1B根据句中的名词doubts可知，“我”怀疑是否(whether)能在截止日期前把一切事情做好。2D联系下文中的hit save(点击保存)等信息可知，晚饭后，作者拿着笔记本电脑(laptop)坐在沙发上继续工作。3A由本句中的“the last story”以及下文“.to Keren，our copy chief(总编辑)”等语境可知，此处指“编辑(editing)完最后一篇故事”。4C作者读完(read over)了一遍，然后点击保存。此处描述连续发生的动作。5A作者应该做的事情做完了，所以能放松一下了，感到积极性(positivity)又回来了。attitude“态度”；n
27、egativity“消极性”；courage“勇气”。6D第一段提到编辑写完了故事，所以此时作者想通过电子邮件把故事发(send)给Keren。7B根据上文中的“Monday night”可知，此处指第二天早晨(morning)。8C下文中的“My digital cable modem，which_9_has four blinking green lights，was ominously dark.”说明，作者失去了(lost)网络连接，即断网了。9A如果网络正常连接的话，数字调制解调器通常(usually)有四个绿灯闪亮。10C网络断开了，技术人员尝试了多种办法试图重新启动(restar
28、t)调制解调器。11B该句的意思是：我不得不让你接受更高水平的技术援助。其中transfer是及物动词，有“调动，调换”之意。12D下文中的“There went my positive attitude.”说明作者的心情，可见技术人员最早(earliest)给作者约定修理的时间是在周五下午。13A暂时没法连接网络，所以此处的语境是“四天没有网络(Internet)”。14C作者不得不在办公室里度过(spend)更多的时间，因为不能把事情带回家做。其他选项不合语境。15B家里没有网络，所以作者只好在家闲着(sit back)。turn back“转身”。16D家里的网络没有修好，所以作者看电视
29、，而不用被迫(compelled)处理电子邮件。17A作者不能在家里工作了，所以不是(Instead of)浏览网页让大量的时间流逝，而是做做饭、读读书。18C在这四天里，作者在家里做饭，阅读了一部小说(novel)，此处叙述在没有网络的情况下的生活。19B如果不是调制解调器崩溃(died)，作者也就做不了这些事情了，此处是对上文的总结。20D在作者看来，没有网络，他却做了好多有意义的事情，所以网络断开使作者出乎意料地(surprisingly)感到和更多的东西产生了联系。.语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。There is no doubt th

34、们尽自己的一份力量帮助解决气候变化问题。1has been changing句意：在最近几年，毫无疑问世界天气一直都在改变。可知用现在完成进行时态，故答案为has been changing。2activities句意：许多其他人类活动也释放了碳气体。many修饰名词复数，可知答案为activities。3into句意：碳被放入大气中。put.into.把放入，可知答案为into。4Therefore/Thus句意：因此，汽油和电消耗的越多，排放的二氧化碳越多。前后是因果关系，可知答案为Therefore/Thus。5more句意：汽油和电消耗的越多，排放的二氧化碳越多。可知答案为more。6
35、a句意：为了帮助解决这个问题，要做的一件事情是当有可能的时候步行或用一辆自行车。可知答案为a。7when此处times作先行词，在后面的定语从句中作时间状语，可知答案为when。8because句意：你也能种一棵树，因为树能吸收空气中的二氧化碳而产出氧气。前后是因果关系，可知答案为because。9what句意：二十年之后，当你看到已经变成一棵大树的时候，你会发现满足感。look at后面是一个宾语从句，从句缺少引导词，且从句没有主语，可知答案为what，它在这里起双重作用。10knowing句意：二十年之后，当你看到已经变成一棵大树的时候，你会发现满足感，此时你会知道你尽自己的一份力量帮助解决气候变化问题所带来的结果。现在分词作自然的结果状语，答案为knowing。
