12、 house as the furniture.It took me a long time before I could fully appreciate my grandparents game. Skepticism (怀疑论) has kept me from believing in true love.

Marriage also brings children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age. Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some
27、 cultures dont let young people choose whom to marry.Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals (仪式). _33_ In a typical Western wedding, the bride (新娘) seeks good luck by wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something
28、 blue.” Something old represents the past. Something new represents success in the future. Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family. _34_In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical. The wedding guests pin money to the brides dr

45、案21解析:选B词义猜测题。从上下文来看,孩子们不愿意碰触绿色植物,也不愿意吃蔬菜,是因为从生物学上看他们“害怕”绿色植物。22解析:选C细节理解题。根据下文可知许多植物为了抵抗掠食者,会产生毒素或者生长出一些抵抗的器官。这些对于早期的人类来说是有威胁的甚至是致命的,因此为了生存,人们产生了内在的抵抗机制,即尽量少地接触绿色植物。23解析:选B标题归纳题。研究发现是人类的生存本能和生物学的机制使得孩子们不愿意接触绿色植物和蔬菜,故B项最符合。24解析:选A细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They dragged shmily with their fingers through the sugar
46、 and flour containers to await whoever was preparing the next meal. Shmily was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower”可知答案。25解析:选B段落大意题。根据第一段前两句可知这一段主要写“我”的祖父母如何玩他们之间的特别的游戏。26解析:选A词义猜测题。“shmily”出现的地方永远都不会终止。pop up“出现”。27解析:选C推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Skepticism (怀疑论) has kept me from. 28解析:选
47、C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Despite the fact that companies believe celebrities have a lot of pull in the buying trends of consumers”可知,有一些公司认为名人对消费者的消费倾向具有引领作用。所以选C。29 解析:选B词义猜测题。从该词前面的“we found that many people were more convinced by an endorsement from a fictional fellow student”这一信息可知,普通人作的宣传更具有说服力和影响力。所以该词指
48、的是“普通人”。30解析:选D推理判断题。从文章的内容可推知,既然普通人做的广告更具有说服力,那么公司就没有必要花费这么多的金钱在名人所作的宣传上了。所以答案选D。31-35EFADB36.解析:选C 为了在一个处于狭窄街道上的加油站加油,人们必须非常小心地把他们的车驶进狭小的(small)空间里。37.解析:选B 我的车停靠在一辆新泽西司机的对面,她焦急地(anxiously)等待着要把车停在我刚好停车的相同(same)位置。38解析:选D 解析见上题。39解析:选C 没有意识到(aware)她的意图,我把车驶进了那个位置。40解析:选B 立马,我就听到一个声音尖叫着(scream), “我
49、不这么想”。41解析:选B 她的每次声音都变得更大(louder)。42解析:选A 走出我的车,我想弄清外面的骚乱是怎么回事(what)。43解析:选A 我很快发现我的车挡住了她的路(way)。44解析:选D 毫不犹豫地,我立马向她道歉(apologize),并且说我会立即把车(car)挪走。45解析:选D 解析见上题。46解析:选A 她生气地回复到(respond) “你最好这样,我已经在这儿等了10分钟了”。47解析:选B 我微笑地转过身去,用轻柔的(gentle)的嗓音和她说,“我很乐意(happy)把车挪走。但首先,我想请你平静下来(calm down),因为我不认识你,但是我爱你。”
50、48解析:选C 解析见上题。49解析:选B 解析见12题。50解析:选C 察觉到我声音里的真诚(sincerity)和没有一丝讽刺,她有些惊讶。51解析:选B 因为对于这种事,东海岸的人通常的(common)的做法就是争吵(quarrel)和打架。52解析:选A 解析见上题。53解析:选C 轻松的(relief)舒了一口气,她迟疑地回答道“我也爱你”。54解析:选D 当我走开时我又给了她一个微笑(smile)。55解析:选C 她愉快地把车开到前面加了油(fuel)。56that/which57.it58.a59.than 60makes61.studying62.helpful63. why6
