推理判断题。根据第一、二段内容…HongTaosaidthingsweremuchbetteronSunday,…和…"Ithinkit'sfinetoday,andeverythingisgoingsmoothly,"the28-year-oldsaid."IthoughtitwouldbereallycrowdedbutithasturnedouttobeOK."可知写作此文应当是在Sunday；根据文中信息…astheyrushtogethomebyWednesday,theeveofLunarNewYear.…可知除夕夜就是Wednesday的晚上，那么LunarNewYear就在Thursday，总计5天。D项正确。7.

细节理解题。根据第四段Hong'soptimismmayhavebeenhelpedbytheblueskiesthatemergedoverGuangzhouonSundayforthefirsttimeinaweek.和第五段…Lastweek,ararewinterstormparalyzed的内容可知，过去的一周内广州一直在下着大雪。故选C项。8.

细节理解题。根据第六段ButGuangzhou'strainstationremainedpackedwithabacklogofhundredsofthousandsoftravelershopingtogethomefortheholiday.内容可知，此处答案应是A项。B项是错误的，C、D两项均是事实，但都不是造成广州站人多的原因。9.细节理解题。根据文中第一段…afterdaysofwaitingforatraintohishomeinHubeiprovince.可知，HongTao是来自Hubeiprovince的。10.

推理判断题。根据最后一段可知C、D两项不对；根据倒数第三段可知A项中所提供的事实与原文不符故选择B项。18.把下列句子中的间接引语改为直接引语。1.Thedoctoraskedhimhowhefelt.

对此,就那件事而论。小题9:考查名词词意辨析和语境的理解。在第三者面前批评别人等于在骂他。小题10:考查语境的理解。这里是对上文建议的总结，从整体文章的大意以及上面的总结：形式要特殊；只说现在的事情；私下抱怨，可以推测这里是说“不要有辱骂性的语言”。25.阅读下面文章，回答问题。
