LiHua阅读理解解析21.A细节理解题。由第二段第一句可知A项正确。22.B细节理解题。通读全文，可知第2个和第4个礼物与相片有关，即有可能要用到数码相机。23.D判断推理题。综观全文，可知所有的礼物都是特别的，而且是人工制作的。24.C细节理解题。根据文章第一段“…permanentlyworriedeyes,whichissweepingtheInternetovernight.”可知：这只名为Bum的喵星人总是眼神忧郁，迅速走红网络。25.C细节理解题。从文章第五段第一句可得出答案。尽管Bum的眼睛看起来很有趣，但它实际上没有任何视力问题。26.B细节理解题。文章第六段告诉我们：Bum在5个月大的时候被送到圣地亚哥动物保护协会的猫照料所，Courtney收养了它。27.D推理判断题。根据文章最后两段可以看出Bum绝顶聪明，而且很有爱心。28.D细节理解题。由文章第二段“WhenTaylorSwiftfirstcametopublicnotice…butapparentlythrewsparkofsuperbtalent.”可知：TaylorSwift第一次走进观众的视野时就展现出过人的才华。29.C词义猜测题。从上下文可以看出：美国乡村音乐小天后TaylorSwift年纪轻轻就已成长为国际巨星。她在乐坛的发展可谓成绩斐然。30.A细节理解题。文章第三段最后一句“…SpeakNow,herthirdalbumthatwasreleasedthatyear.”…其中包括发行的第三张专辑SpeakNow，这张专辑取得五倍白金销量而成功斩获Billboard音乐奖。

31.A主旨大意题。根据全文可以得出答案。TaylorSwift尽管年纪轻轻，她取得的成就震撼了整个乐坛，成为激励艺人以及年轻女性的楷模。32.D细节理解题。由第二段头两句可知，Hoffice的出现是为了提供集体工作的场所。33.B段落大意题。本段主要介绍了Hoffice是如何工作的。34.A推理判断题。根据有些自由职业者的描述，他们在Hoffice这种环境下工作，效率很高，精神高涨，应该很有收获。35.A细节理解题。根据第二段信息可知，Hoffice这种工作模式自创建之初就受到欢迎，已经传播到世界许多城市。完形填空解析圣诞节前夕，作者去商店支付订货余款，却被告知一位不愿透露姓名的人已经替他支付了。作者在感动之余，决心把这份爱心传递下去，让更多的人感受到人情的温暖。41.B作者去付余款，所以把收据“交给”收银员。42.A交完余款就可以把要买的“货物”带回家了。43.D收银员在电脑上忙活着（查找作者的订货），“似乎”哪里出了问题。keptmessingwiththecomputer说明事情并不顺利。44.B作者“预感到”收银员会告知他东西放错了地方或是类似的理由。45.C忙活了十分钟后，收银员终于开口了。由上文可知，作者已有预感，所以不能选A或D。46.B收银员是在电脑“系统”上查找，但是没找到。47.D收银员解释，作者本来应该“接到”，告知他货款已被支付了。48.CSanta本意指圣诞老人，这里指献爱心的人。由第三段中completelyunknown得知，这是一个不愿透露姓名的“神秘”人物。49.B作者非常吃惊，觉得这种事情只会出现在“新闻故事”中，不可能发生在他身上。50.C作者感到难以置信：这样的好事怎么会“选中”他的家庭呢？51.D作者问收银员，有没有“办法”让他可以为那位好心人做点什么，来回报他的善举。52.C解释同上。inreturnfor：作为对……的回报。53.A但是收银员说那位人士想完全保密。54.B作者深受“感动”。55.B然而，想到也许有某个家庭因为付不起钱取订货而不能过一个美好的圣诞节，作者感到有些“愧疚”。作者的意思是这种幸运的事情也应该降临到那些家庭身上。56.A解释同上。affordtodosth：有能力做某事。57.A作者决定把爱心传递下去。payitforward：让爱传下去。58.C于是作者用本来支付余款的钱买了一些玩具。下文ahugetoydonationbox有提示。59.D在出商店的时候，作者把玩具“放进”捐赠箱。dropsthoff：顺便把某物送到某处。60.C作者接受了他人的善举，也想让这份“善举”继续下去。听力原文：Text1W:DidyougotothefootballmatchlastSunday?M:Oh,yes.Itwassupposedtostartat2:30,butitwasdelayedbyfifteenminutes.Text2W:Lookslikeit’sgoingtobeaniceday.M:Yes,springisjustaroundthecorner.Text3W:Thebookyouwantisout.Itisverymuchindemand.M:Oh,I’msorrytohearthat.Butcanyoukeepitformewhenitisreturned?Text4M:Ihearyou’regoingtodrivetoNewYorkthisweekend.W:Oh,I’vechangedmymind.Ithinkflyingwillbemorecomfortable.Text5M:ThisisthethirdtimewehavehadtowaitforAnne.It’ssorudeofhertomakeusallwaitintherushhour.W:Don’tbeangrywithher.Shedoeshavetodrive15milesintherushhourinordertogethere.Text6M:Betty,Ihaven’tseenPeterforalongtime.HowwashegettingonwithhislifeinChicago?W:Idon’tknoweither.Imisshimverymuch.Ihavebeenwaitingforhisletterforsuchalongtime.Look!Hereisaletter.M:Really?Isitfrom
