23、觉得它非常漂亮。第一空“the比较级”意为“两者中更/较的”；第二空：a mosta very，无比较含义。答案：A3解析：考查代词it 的用法。句意为：新科技使以更快的速度、更低的成本生产新产品成为可能。it指代动词不定式短语，作形式宾语。答案：D4解析：考查状语从句。句意为：既然你熟悉作者的思路，那就尝试着尽可能地阅读所有章节。now that既然；ever since自从；in case以防万一；as long as只要。根据句意可知应选A。答案：A5解析：句意为：今年这个节日过得很成功，不像去年过节时，雨下个不停。根据题干，此处需用介词。故排除C、D项。unlike意为“不同；不像”，

27、所以用“twice as likely”。答案：C.阅读理解语篇解读：生活中，我们有义务完成应该做的事情，但是不必出于太多的顾虑，凡事惟命是从，要学会拒绝，学会说“不”。1解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一句的内容可知，作者认为我们应该帮助需要帮助的人，故B项正确。答案：B2解析：推理判断题。结合第三段第二句中的“you think about it too much”以及本段后半部分的内容可推知，我们之所以同意做我们讨厌做的事情是因为我们有很多顾虑。答案：C3解析： 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句的内容可知，作者认为如果你对你的家人说“不”，他们与你之间的关系仍然会和以前一样。 答案：A4解
28、析：主旨大意题。文章第一段就开门见山地点明了本文的中心话题，即要学会说“不”，所以D项作为本文的标题最合适。答案：D语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了在一次农业灾难中，荷兰榆树菌(Dutch Elm Disease)袭击密歇根的本土榆树，农场沿路边几乎所有的榆树都感染并死掉了，但有一棵曾经被铁链拴过的老榆树却仍然存活着。作者以这则故事告诉我们：曾经经历的磨难会让我们更强大。5解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句“All of the elms lining the road leading to the farm became infected and died.”可知，在这次农
29、业灾难中，几乎所有的榆树都因为感染了荷兰榆树菌而死掉了。答案：D6解析：细节理解题。根据文章第六段第二、三、四句话“They observed the scar left by the iron chain.it was the chain that saved the elm s life.must have absorbed so much iron from the chain.”可知，这棵老榆树是吸收了铁链中的铁(iron)，增强了它对病菌的免疫力。答案：C7解析：句意理解题。根据文章第四段可知，农场的主人曾想过要在这棵榆树死之前将其砍掉当柴火，但由于这么多年来这棵老榆树已经成为了他们
30、的朋友，所以他们不忍心下手，并决定让这棵榆树顺其自然。因此，此处的let the nature take its course意为“听天由命；任由大自然的摆布”，即leave the elm at the mercy of the nature。答案：A8解析：标题概括题。文章最后一段是全文的中心段，“what doesnt kill you will make you stronger.”和“Life breaks us all，but afterwards，many of us are strongest at the broken places.”是全文的升华，作者以老榆树的故事告诉人们，生活中的磨难并不可怕，它会使我们更坚强。所以D项“Stronger after Suffering”最适合做文章的标题，故答案选D。答案：D
