24、故用being caught。2D根据后半句went away without looking at a third one，说明上两件都没选中，为完全否定，故选D项，both用在此处为两者的部分否定；any与all用于三者或三者以上。3Abe in power在执政，当权，表示一种状态；come to power上台，执政，表示动作；take office任职。由句中的for ten years可知选A。4B题干中的keep意为“使保持(某一状态)”，又因为attention与pay之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词paid。5D句意：后背着地躺下，把双脚并拢向上伸，保持双膝直立。straigh
25、t adj.“直的”，符合句意。6Bearn ones living 意为“谋生”，为固定短语。7D考查非谓语动词。句意：四面八方的人们涌向这座城市，使它非常拥挤。 making在句中是vt.ing形式作结果状语。8B句意：导火线已经烧到尽头，炸弹就要爆炸了，让我们躲远点。explode“爆炸”，符合句意。expose“使暴露”；express“表达”；explore“探索”。9C句意：如果你读书的开头，你会发现作者写的简介。brief简短的。10B考查短语的构成和辨析。clear away把废除；clear up收拾，清理；break away突然走开，放弃；break down破裂，失败。

27、后一句“.its pedestrianfriendly，too，waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk.”可知图书馆位于人行道附近，为爱书人提供便利，故B项正确。6D细节理解题。根据第三段首句“A year ago，shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the.”可知Janey是受到一个报道的启发才有建图书馆的想法的，故D项正确。7C细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Son Austin，now a 10thgrader，didnt see the point o
28、f building a library that resembles a mailbox.”可知该图书馆看起来像个邮箱，故C项正确。8C细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“.the family hung a signboard on the front，instructing users to take a book，return a book，and making.”可知，在前面挂上一个布告板是为了告知使用者“拿走一本，返还一本”，以避免图书丢失，从而使图书馆长久存在，故C项正确。布告板是the family制作并悬挂的，而不是使用者，故A项错误；B项“这标志着对图书馆的最后装点”与原文中的“
29、After adding the librarys final touches.”相矛盾；挂布告板的目的是提醒使用者而非表明这是家庭的私有财产，故排除D项。9A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Since then，the collection keeps replenishing itself，thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.”可知，借用人捐赠了很多书，故A项正确。文中未提及使用者为图书馆收集书会有报酬，排除B项；C项中的receive应改
