36、程中。procedure手续，程序，步骤；procession行列，队伍；proceeding 诉讼，诉讼程序。A、B、C均与句意不符，故选D项。2C句意：要不是她妈妈突然得病，她从没想过这次会对你失约。appointment“约会，约定”，符合句意。arrangement“安排”；schedule“时间表”；interview“采访”。3B考查倍数表达法。英语中常见的表达倍数的句型有：.timesasadj./adv.(原级)as.；.timesadj./adv.(比较级)than.；.timesthe length/width/.of.。故B项符合。4C句意：走了十分钟以后，她突然意识到自
37、己一直走错了方向。用过去完成进行时态表示在过去的10分钟里一直走错了。5D本题考查动词搭配。approve表示“批准”时，后面直接跟宾语；如果表示“赞成”时，其搭配为approve of sb.(sb.s)doing sth.。 6D句意：我需要我们在这次战斗中的精确的损失数目。accurate精确的，准确的；correct正确的，没有错误的；exact确切的，正好的；right对的。7C考查短语辨析。polish up磨光，擦亮，使完美；polish off迅速做完某事，吃掉(食物)。句意：他很快就把一盘鱼和炸土豆条吃光了。8C句意：她丈夫比她大三岁，非常体贴她，总是把她放在第一位上。sen

39、归纳出本文的主题为“报纸的未来”。由第二段第二句可知，A项中的事件只是报纸的一些基本元素；而B项只是未来可能出现的，并不是作者的观点。2C细节理解题。根据短文第二段中“I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though.”可推知，依据作者观点，报纸在未来将会报道更多的科学研究。3D推理判断题。从短文第三段最后一句可推知，你自己的报纸会以你感兴趣的事情为主。4B推理判断题。根据短文最后一段可推知，报纸将与其他媒体共存。5A词义猜测题。作者上一句说人们错误地认为各种不同的媒体相互竞争，而下一句作者又说“They act
40、ually feed off each other.”，我们可推知feed off与depend on意思相近。【语篇解读】在意大利西西里岛上，有一棵巨大的古栗树，它的名字叫“百马树”。6C细节理解题。根据第一段的“But their main concern was.a chestnut tree believed to be more than 2,000 years old”可知，镇上的人们害怕这棵古树被火山灰雨毁坏。7C细节理解题。根据第二段的“.a queen found shelter within its hole.when they got caught in a storm”
41、可知，在去埃特纳山的路上，那位王后和她的骑兵曾在这棵古树下避雨。8D推理判断题。根据第二段However以后的部分可知，作者认为这个传说缺乏详细的史料记载，对其真实性表示怀疑。9B细节理解题。根据本段的“in the end he let himself be convinced that the trunk was undoubtedly of one tree”可知，Patrick Brydone最后认为这棵巨树就是一棵树，并非多棵树组合而成。10B写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了在意大利西西里岛上的一棵巨大的古栗树以及与它相关的故事。.1.Phone his secretary and make an appointment with the manage.2.Your application for a mortgage is being processed.3.His essay needs to be polished.4Driving too fast is one of the chief causes of traffic accidents.5.I took the day off work because I didnt want to pass on my flu to everyone in the office.
