20、33A.nod BbendCturn Dlift34A.pavement BcounterCfloor Dsquare35A.perform BpossessCindicate Dmean答案与解析：这是一篇记叙文。当一个印第安人和他的朋友走在时代广场的附近时，印第安人对朋友说：“你听到蟋蟀的叫声了吗？”而朋友不相信印第安人会听见蟋蟀的叫声。通过这个故事，作者想问人们：为生计奔波的现代人，你还能拥有一份闲心来聆听来自自然界的声音吗？16B结合前面的“walking near Times Square in Manhattan”可知这两个人走在时代广场附近，而且从后面第四段中的“and then
21、 walked across the street to a big cement plant”可知，他们是在大街(street)上走着。supermarket“超市”；restaurant“餐馆” ；lane“(乡间)小路，车道”，均不符合语境。17C结合前面的“Cars were honking”和后面的“and the sounds of the city were almost _18_”可知这里的出租车也发出大的响声。wait“等待”；park“停(车)，泊(车)”；line“沿形成行”，这些与噪音无关，均不符合逻辑。18A从后面第二段中的“You couldnt possibly
22、hear a cricket in all of this _20_！”可知噪音很大，因此这里表示声音震耳欲聋(deafening)。frightening“令人担心的”；sickening“让人厌恶的”；weak“虚弱”，均不符合语境。19D从前面的“What？”可知朋友不相信印第安人能够在震耳欲聋的噪音中听到蟋蟀的叫声，所以认为他一定是疯了。enthusiastic“热心的”；cautious“小心的，谨慎的”；uncertain“不确定的”，均不符合语境。20B结合前面汽车和出租车等发出的噪音以及“the sounds of the city were almost deafening”
23、可知，这位朋友认为印第安人不可能在这样的噪音中听到蟋蟀的叫声。environment“环境”，指的是人类和动物居住的自然环境；situation“地理位置，形势”，一般指的是建筑物的所处位置；scene“背景，现场”，一般指的是事情，尤其是坏的事情发生的现场，均与语境不符。21C根据前面的“I hear a cricket.”可知这个印第安人肯定自己听到了蟋蟀的叫声。而其他三项的意思分别为siren“汽笛，警报器”；horn“喇叭”；call“叫声”。22A此处表示这个印第安人“仔细地”听了一会儿，判断蟋蟀的叫声来自何处，所以选A项。patiently“耐心地”；silently“默默地”；n
24、ervously“焦虑不安地”。23D根据前面的“where some bushes”可知此处指长有灌木丛的地方。wave“摇晃”；plant“种植”，这个词的主语应该是人，当主语是植物的时候应该用其被动形式；fade“凋谢”，均不符合语境。24B根据前面的“He looked into the bushes, beneath the branches”可知，他仔细地查看灌木丛的里面和树枝的下面，终于找到了蟋蟀的藏身之地，locate“找出的准确位置”符合题意。watch“观看”；follow“跟着”；play“玩”，用在此处均不确切。25C当这个印第安人终于在灌木丛中找到蟋蟀之后，他的朋友简
25、直不相信这是真的，所以，朋友发出惊呼“这真是不可思议”。26A根据前面的“You must have superhuman ears.”可知朋友认为这个印第安人具有“超人的”耳朵，但是这个印第安人认为自己的耳朵与别人的没有什么不同，这一切取决于你想听见什么。27D这个朋友认为自己在这样的噪音中是听不见任何蟋蟀的叫声的。raise“饲养”；feed“喂养”；catch“逮住”，均与语境不符。28B从前面的“Yes”可知印第安人同意他朋友的说法，故使用true。wrong“错误的”；foolish“愚蠢的”；terrible“可怕的”，均与上下文不符。29C结合文章的最后一句话“It all de
26、pends on whats important to you.”可知此处填important。impressive“给人以强烈或良好印象的”，extraordinary“非凡的”，necessary“必要的”。30A根据后面的“pulled out a few coins”可知印第安人把手伸进口袋里，拿出了几枚硬币，所以选A项，reach into“伸进”。而get into“(使)陷入”，break into“强行闯入”，cut into“削减，打断”，表示的意义均与语境不符。31D“dropped”表示这个印第安人把硬币扔在人行道上，让它发出声响，目的是给朋友演示为什么想听什么是重要的。
27、distribute“分发”；hide“隐藏”；place“安放”，均不符合题意。32Bthe crowded street表示拥挤的街道。deserted“遗弃的”；narrow“狭窄的”；empty“空荡的”，均不符合语境。这里印第安人想证明人们能听见钱币落在地上的声音，所以使用“拥挤的”更能显示出这种证明的效果。33C结合后面的“look to see if the money that tinkled on the _34_ was theirs”可知，听见了钱币落地的声音，人们都回过头来看是不是自己掉了钱。而nod“点头”；bend“弯曲”；lift“举起”，均与上下文的意义不一致。
28、34A根据前面的“discreetly dropped them on the sidewalk”中的“sidewalk”可知此处应选A项。counter“柜台”；floor“地板”；square“广场”，均不符合语境。35D这里的mean意为“意思是，本意是”，此处这个印第安人问他的朋友是否明白了他的意思，所以选D项。.阅读理解Ive always known my kids use digital communications gear (装置) a lot.

39、声会令他们“分心”。37A主旨大意题。文章第一、二段主要讲述了作者的儿子用手机发短信的事，并就此展开议论，所以全篇文章主要讲述的是青少年通过收发短信与人沟通，所以正确答案为A项。38D观点态度题。文章第三段主要讲述了专家或权威人士对孩子使用手机发短信持反对态度，他们认为发短信会使小孩子变笨，其中Mark Bauerlein也认为如此，故正确答案为D项。39C观点态度题。依据文章倒数第二段第一句“我不认为发短信会使小孩变笨”和最后一段第一句“我没有发现短信会损害青少年的沟通能力”可知，作者对小孩使用手机发短信持赞同态度。40C细节理解题。由文章第五段第二句中的make them annoying可知，家长不喜欢孩子边发短信边和他们说话。
