]A.Ihadarrivedat

B.hadIarrived

C.hadIreached

D.Ihadgotto答案：C3.Policehavefound________appearstobethelostancientstatue.A．whichB．whereC．howD．what答案：D解析：及物动词found后面显然是一个宾语从句，而从句中缺少主语，所以正确答案锁定连接代词which和what，其中，which引导宾语从句时，意思是“哪一个；哪一些”，用以要求某人在有限数量中指明某人或某事物；what引导宾语从句时，意思是“……的事物”。句中没有给出具体的数量，故选D。句意：警察已经找到了好像是失踪的古代雕像的东西。【考点定位】本题考查宾语从句的连接词。4.Ifound_____

一Yes,Ihave.Iguessit_____now.A．hasgradedB．isgradedC．isbeinggradedD．isgrading答案：C解析：这道题可谓一箭“三”雕，即考查了时态、语态和词的转换。从now可知，我的作业正在被老师批改，所以要用一般现在时的进行时的被动语态。这里的grade是由名词“等级；成绩”转换为动词“评阅”。故答案为C.10.ApressreportstatingthatMicrosofthasrestartedtalkstobuyYahoo'ssearchbusinessfor20billionU.S.dollars."Ithasnobasisinfact,"theSanFranciscoChroniclesaidonMonday.

细节判断题。根据第三小节中的Youcanactuallyincreaseyourhappinesslevels.That’swhatweteach可知A项正确。B项与文章的提供的信息正好相反，C项是形象化的说明，并非真实条件与结果，D项中关于BillGates的说法是文章所没有说明的。2.

词义猜测题。根据句子peoplewhoarelesswelloffthanyou—poorer,smallerhouse,car，以及前文出现的比较级betterofffinancially/materially，可知是指“富有”。3.

主旨归纳题。本文讲述金钱与幸福之间的关系，只有D项最能体现文章的中心。36.阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

DCBB解析：10.D推断题。由最后一段我们可以看出作者主要针对糖尿病人。11.C细节题。由Itcontainsusefulinformationandmayhelpyoutalktoyourdoctor可知答案。12.B词义题。从第一段我们知道，作者希望糖尿病人注意自己的胆固醇数字，接下来，作者在第二段提醒人们要一本免费的ChoLESterol，因此我们可以推断ChoLESterol是向人们介绍如何降低胆固醇的。13.B推断题。在本文中作者首先提出让人们注意胆固醇数字，接着向人们介绍ChoLESterol，因此作者写这篇文章的目的是帮助那些胆固醇数字高的人们。40.Ican'timaginethere________beashortageofwaterinYunnan,thesouthwestofChina
