13、t easy. BNo problem. CTake your time. DSo what?【答案与解析】A部分题意：天快黑了。我的儿子还没有回家？根据答语“He has been a grownup”可知是安慰前者，即“不用担心，他已经是大人了。”take it easy用来安慰对方不要担心，放松些。no problem用来表示同意；take your time用来指做某事不要着急，不要慌；so what表示某人认为某事无关紧要，意思为“那又怎么样”。22_ her cat might make her bed dirty, she still keeps and cares for it
14、.AUnless BBecause CEven though DSo long as【答案与解析】C题意：即使她的小猫咪可能弄脏她的床，她仍然会继续养他们，照顾他们。unless“除非”；because“因为”；even though“即使”；so long as“只要”。根据题意可知C项符合逻辑要求。23_ how she was helping to save the environment, she said that she always takes public transportation. ATo be asked BAsking CBeing asked DAsked【答案与解
15、析】D题意：当被问到她为环保做了些什么时，她表示她一直乘坐公共交通工具。主语she与ask之间为被动关系，且ask是完成的动作，所以此处用过去分词asked作状语。24Reaching an agreement so quickly was a great_ for the meeting.Aappointment Baccess Cachievement Dapproach【答案与解析】C题意：如此快达成了协议对这个会议来说是一个巨大的成就。appointment“约会”；access“进入”；achievement“成就；进步”；approach“方法；步骤”。根据题意，应选C项。25(2

19、来好像；出现”，它们的词义与题意不符。根据strike的词义不难看出答案为C项。29In my mind, _ that famous university will be the only way to become a worldclass writer.Aattending Battended Cattend Dhaving attended【答案与解析】A动名词短语作主语，表示笼统的行为，又因该句为事实性陈述语气，没有明确的时间状语，故排除D项。30If better use is _ your spare time, youll make greater progress in th

ASee BTo see CSeeing DFor seeing【答案与解析】B单从答语上看，很难确定哪个是正确答案。若用“补全法”，联系问句，在头脑中补上省去的部分，便可知孰对孰错。问句中与答语有直接联系的部分是“but why”，它的完
21、整意思是 “.but why have you come round”，其完整答语应是 “Ive come round to see that all is right”。答语中省去了主、谓部分，只保留了作目的状语的不定式。32Greatly moved by what she did, _.Atears came to my eyes Bmy heart was full of gratefulnessCmy eyes were filled with tears DI could hardly hold back my tears【答案与解析】D根据非谓语动词moved可知，句子的主语必须

Youre 50 kilograms at the most!
24、Awill Bshould Cmay Dmust【答案与解析】D考查情态动词。由下句 “youre 50 kilograms at the most”可以推断出来，由此可知答语第1句题意为“你还减肥，你肯定是疯了”。.阅读理解ADr Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project which is the largest study of humour.
