27、入”，符合语境。句意：据一项联合国报告显示，世界上有30%的人喝不上干净的饮用水，也无法享受卫生保健。2D3A根据be occupied with“忙于(某事)”可判断此处应该用过去分词短语作原因状语。4C5D句意：最先想到把蒸汽机和轮子组合在一起的人发明了汽车。combine“组合，结合”，符合题意。compare比较，相比；compete比赛，竞争；connect连接，关联。6D考查动词的时态。句意：虽然人们可以从电视上了解最新消息，但电视不大可能完全取代报纸。句中unlikely表示说话人认为某事将来不大可能发生，或者认为不大可能成为事实，因此用将来时，故选D。7C8A9B10B考查动词
28、短语辨析。consist ofbe made up of，意为“由组成”。11C12C13A考查介词短语辨析。A项意为“总的说来”；B项意为“究竟，到底”；C项意为“不久，很快”；D项意为“不可能的”。句意：总的说来，这个故事很有吸引力：故事中有许多有趣的人物。14B15D考查“Thats why”和“That is because”的区别。前者意为“那是的原因”，后者意为“那是因为”，根据语境可判断选D。. 本文是一篇应用文。作者介绍了旅行中如何应对各种麻烦或突发状况。16B17A细节理解题。根据第五段可知在重新订票时，可以打电话而不必在订票处等。本段最后一句说“想了解更多信息可以上网站查询
29、”，而没有说在网上订票。18C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段建议用船运行李可知，理由有两个：一是容易丢失；二是有时比需要支付给航空公司的额外行李费要便宜，也就是说如果行李超重是要计费的。故选C。19A词义猜测题。从下文可以知道航班延误或航班取消时，乘客可以申请吃饭、打车或订房间的折扣，但显然航空公司不会从金钱上赔偿乘客。故选A。20D.本文论证了澳大利亚属于亚洲这一事实。21time主旨大意题。文章的最后一句点明文章的主题：该是我们应该正确认识澳大利亚是属于亚洲的这一事实的时间了。22Background23Geographically24realities根据第二段“This made me a
