hedogs...Therearenodogownerstodealwithuntilthetrainingisover"可知，作为一名servicedogtrainer,你不会受到狗的主人的干扰，也就是说你可以按照你喜欢的方式去训练狗，故选D项。3.A【命题意图】考查文章出处。【解题思路】依据文章标题TwoTypesofDogTrainers以及文中对两种类型的训狗师的介绍和结尾的"Tofindaservicedogschool，pleaseclickUSAServiceDogRegistration"可知选A。句中的dick表示"（在计算机屏幕上用鼠标）点击，单击"。2答案及解析：答案：1.C2.D3.A4.C解析：1.C【命题意图】考查细节理解。【解题思路】根据第一段小的"Themountainisonfire,andMcGee’supthere!Heneedsahand"可知，Layton的母亲打电话给他是为了让他去帮助McGee。2.D【命题意图】考查推理判断。【解题思路】结合第一段中的"Laytonownedadozenrentalcabins(小木屋)onShieldsMountain"和第二段中的"Atthatpoint，thetwohadachoice:trytosaveLayton’scabinsorrescuepeoplerentingothercabinsnearby"以及接下来两人选择去救人可知，Layton出租的小木屋都被烧毁了，也就是Layton的生意被毁了。最后一段中的"loss"也是提示。故选D项。3.A【命题意图】考查细节理解。【解题思路】根据第—段中的"Onewhoalmostdidn’tmakeitwasMcGee""SoonhefoundMcGeenearacabin,nearlyunconscious.Minuteslater，theywereoffthemountain"可知，McGee在这场火灾中差点没活下来，Layton在一个小木屋附近发现了几乎昏迷的McGee，几分钟，两人一起下山。由此可知，Layton救的最后一个人是McGee。4.C【命题意图】考查写作意图。【解题思路】文章主要讲述MatthewLayton不顾自己的财产损失，和朋友从火中救人的故事。文章旨在通过讲述这两个人的英雄事迹向他们表达钦佩之情。3答案及解析：答案：1.C;2.B;3.B;4.B解析：1.考查细节理解。根据第一段第二、三句"But,asaresultofclimatechange...tolookfornewwaysofgrowingthegrain"可知,能种植水稻的土地短缺促使科学家们去寻找种植水稻的新方法。2.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"StartingfromJanuary…havegrowndozensofvarietiesofriceinthedesertsofDubai"和第五段中的"oneofthevarietiesofricegrowninDubai"可知,Yuan的团队在迪拜成功地在沙子和海水中种植了水稻。3.考查推理判断。根据第五段中的"oneofthevarietiesofricegrowninDubaiproducedoverthreetons,peracre,whichYuansaidwasbeyondexpectations"可知,其中一种在迪拜种植的水稻产量为每英亩三吨多,这超出了人们的预料,故选B。4.考查观点态度。根据最后一段“Eventhoughthecostofgrowingsalt-tolerantriceisstillhigh,itwillalsohavestrategicvalueonceit’scommercialized"可推知,作者对这种水稻种植的试验持乐观的态度。4答案及解析：答案：1.B;2.C;3.C;4.D解析：1.考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Fewbusinessescanrunnowadayswithoutcomputers,givingkeyboardshortcutsgreatimportance...theircurricula"可知,要是没有电脑,大多数公司都无法正常运行,这使得键盘快捷键的使用变得格外重要。而且小学、中学的教育也认为打字课程是必不可少的。由此可推知,手写对大多数人来说已不再是必需的。故选B。2.考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Theresultsshowedthatbothtypesofnotetakensdidwellonthefirsttest,butstudentswithhandwrittennoteswereabletorememberandstillunderstandtheconceptsofthelectureafteraweekhadpassed"可知,短期之内(半小时)打字做笔记和手写做笔记并无明显差异,但随着时间的推移(一周后),相比起来,手写做笔记者依然能够记得并理解讲座(所讲)的概念。由此可见,手写对人有着更深远的影响。故选C。3.考查词义猜测。根据第三段首句可知,打字做笔记带来的另一个问题是,做笔记者可能只是逐字逐句记录内容,却忽视了对要点的关注。故选A。present"授予,提交,展现";describe"描述";give"交给,赠送,提供"。4.考查推理判断。根据第四段"Computersaren’tgoingawayanytimesoon,butthatdoesn’tmeanpapernotebooksneedtobecomeabandoned.Infact,it'sbesttostartusingthematanearlyage.Choosingapenoverakeyboarddoeswondersforyourmemory"可知,虽然电脑不会一下子消失,但这并不意味着纸张笔记本会被废弃事实上,幼年便开始手写做笔记是最好的选择。5答案及解析：答案：1-5CBDFA解析：1.根据上文中的"Doyouhavesuchkindofexperience"和下文中的"Andifhesensesthatheisbeingstaredat,hemayfeeluncomfortable"可知，此处承上启下，应是列举生活中的一段经历。在公交车上,你可能会盯着一个陌生人看，但是如果他感觉到他被注视，他可能会感到不舒服。故选C。2.根据空后提到的"Ifyouarelookedat...anythingwrongwithyou"可推知，在日常生活中，同样的事情也会发生。如果你被过多地注视，你会上下打量自己，看看自己是否有什么问题。故选B。3.根据空后一句"Butthingsaredifferentwhenitcomestostaringattheoppositesex"及该段其他内容可知，该段讲述的是异性之间长时间凝视的情况。故选D项，与空后一句存在逻辑上的转折关系。4.根据上文中的"thespeakerwillonlylookatthelistenerfromtimetolime,inordertomakesurethatthelistenerisattentive"可知，两个人在交谈中正常的目光接触是说话人会不时地看着听者，以确保听者是专心的。由此可知，如果讲话者一直盯着你看的话，你会感到不舒服，因为你会觉得他似乎要控制你。故选F。5.根据空前一句可知，一个差劲的说谎者通常会因为长时间盯着受害者而暴露自己，因为他相信直视对方的眼睛是诚实交流的一种标志。而实际上情况正相反。故选A。6答案及解析：答案：1.C;2.B;3.C;4.D;5.A;6.D;7.A;8.B;9.C;10.D;11.A;12.A;13.B;14.C;15.D解析：1.C根据上文中的"Ilostalongtimejob"和下文中的"Igotfired"可知,公司宣布要裁员。jobcut"裁员"。2.B根据上文中的"faringtheglobaleconomiccrisis"可知,作者和他的同事们已经意识到(realized)公司赢利不如以往。3.C参见上题解析。profitable"有利润的,贏利的",符合题意responsible"负责的";influential"有影响力的";attractive"吸引力的"。4.D有一天,作者到办公室后被通知他被解雇了。warn"提醒注意,使警惕";remind"提醒.使想起";convince"使相信";inform"通知,告知"。5.A作者几乎没有做什么来改变这种局面,除了联系下以前工作时认识的人,except"除……之外"符合题意。6.D根据上文的"writers"和尾段中的"whowantedtohavehisnoveltranslatedintoEnglishquickly"可知,作者做的是翻译工作。translator"译者",符合语境。editor"编辑";agent"代理人,经纪人";insurer"承保人"。7.A上文提到作者被解雇,其后的一周作者几乎不做任何事情来改变自己失业的现状,由此可推知,他处于一种低沉、沮丧的状态,故选low"沮丧的,消沉的"。8.B根据上文中的"renewingmyoldcontacts"和下文中的"whoneededmyservices"可知,这些需要作者服务的客户联系作者,read,在此处表示"(尤指用电话)联系,与……取得联系",符合语境。9.C根据上文内容以及下文中的"couldn’tsupportmelong"可知,翻译只是作者暂时的工作temporary"短暂的,暂时的,临吋的",符合题意。relaxing"令人放松的,轻松的";literary"文学的,文学上的";challenging"有挑战性的"。10.D这份临时工作可以让作者找工作的同时勉强维持生计。resignfrom"从...辞职";dreamof"渴望,梦想";keepup"保持";huntfor"寻找"。11.A根据下文可知,作者认识了这位来自日本的男士,maketheacquaintanceofsb."结识某人"。12.A根据上文作者接翻译工作以及下文中的"Weworkedtogetherforawhile"可知,作者接受了(accepted)这一份翻译小说的工作。13.B根掘上文中的"Heinspiredmetofindnewopportunities"和下文中的"insteadofthesameones"可知,他激励作者从不同的公司中寻找新机会,而不是相同的公司。developing"发展中的";distinct"不同种类的";potential"潜在的,可能的";similar"相似的"。14.C根据上文可知,作者在这位日本朋友的鼓励下思想发生了变化,因此他开始从另一个角度看待世界。angle"观点,立场,角度"。15.D根据上文中的"startedtolookattheworldfromanother14;IfiguredoutwhatItrulywanted"可知,作者弄清了自己真正想要的,意识到不能为了工作而工作,摒弃了(quit)"人是为工作服务的,而不是工作为人服务的"这一想法。7答案及解析：答案：organizations；choosing；called；actively；an/their；for；who；largest；isgiven；haverecovered解析：1.考查名词。根据语境可知，此处指学生组织，且无限定词修饰，应用相应名词的复数形式，故填organizations。2.考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处与前面的stopping并列，作介词from的宾语，故应用choosing。3.考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作
