47、to global warming. (当咖啡渣进入垃圾填埋场时,会向大气中释放温室气体,导致全球变暖。)”可知,咖啡垃圾导致的污染以及全球变暖问题已经到了刻不容缓的地步,必须要采取措施来解决这个问题。故选C项。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“They are finally processed into the fuel. Coffee Log. (它们最终被加工成燃料,咖啡原木。)”以及第四段“Coffee is highly calorific and lends itself to being a really fantastic fuel.(咖啡的热量很高,它本身就是一种非常棒

53、unexpected call you received from an old friend. _17_.Summarize the complaint.

If your coworker is saying bad words about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee.【答案】16. F 17. G 18. B 19. C 20. E【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了减少抱怨的几种方法。【16题详解】空格在段中,根据前面一句话“compla
58、ining doesnt always have a negative impact.(抱怨并不总是有负面影响。)”表明抱怨并不一定全是坏处,再根据后面however,可以确定,空格处应选择抱怨的好处。所以选择项F“Sometimes a complaint changes an unfavorable situation into a more desirable one.(有时抱怨会把不利的情况变成更理想的情况。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。【17题详解】空格在段落末尾,仔细看我们会发现前面一句“If your neighbor is complaining about the phone
59、company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend.(如果你的邻居在抱怨电话公司,告诉她你接到一个老朋友的意外电话。)”的句式是if条件句加祈使句的结构,选项G正好也是这个结构,表示如果你的同事在说你老板的坏话,问问他是否遇到了新员工。根据句式一致原则,我们把选项G带入原文,会发现就是和小标题change the subject一致。所以选择项G“If your coworker is saying bad words about your boss, ask whether he met the
60、 new employee. (如果你的同事在说你老板的坏话,问问他是否见过新员工。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。【18题详解】此空格是小标题形式,根据前后的标题都是动词原形开头,可以把答案锁定在ABD中,根据后面内容中“ask nicely what shes done to improve it.(礼貌地询问她做了什么来改进它。)”可以确定是action,而非the effect或者the word complaining。所以选择项B“Challenge the person to act. (激励这个人去行动。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。【19题详解】空格在段首,空格后“, tell t
61、he complainer that you must cut the conversation short.(,告诉抱怨的人你必须打断谈话。)”是逗号,可以确定需要填入半句话,观察选项只有C是半句话形式。所以选择项C“When you have things to do (当你有事要做的时候)”符合上下文语境。故选C。【20题详解】空格在段中,根据后面一句话“Otherwise, if you hide your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints(否则,如果你隐藏你的感情,继续听重复的抱怨)”可以确定空格应该是not
62、 hide your feelings. 再根据前面“stresses you out with loads of pessimism.(用大量的悲观情绪使你疲惫不堪。)”以及小标题心与心的交流,应该是坦诚自己的想法。所以选择项E“Its important to talk about the problem. ( 谈论这个问题很重要。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。第二部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Sandra was a businesswoma
