7.A由文章最后一句可知BobDylan是一个rocksinger。

8.C45．答案为C

从全文来看，可排除A、B、D，而从第一段Mychildrenmustgetoutofthis可知作者希望改变现状。

9.D解析：参见第二段。粉色区域的图像显示树木又在生长。

10.B解析：句子“LastweekMr.Hillhadquiteasurprise”就是答案。

11.C

12.D解析：服务生说的是旅馆的安排，可见史密斯太太没理解服务生的话。

21.C解析：根据文中第二段第四、五行“anideaslowlyformed…HedecidedhewouldrunacrossCanada…”可知，答案为C项。

24.D解析：第三段。驼峰是用来储存脂肪的。选项D是正确的。

25.C解析：本文是一个野营地为招揽生意而做的广告。由第一段可知，seasonedtourists指那些经常旅游的人们。

29.C解析：本文讲的就是人的血型。

37.B解析：获得第二名的是美国运动员DominiqueArnold，他在比赛中大部分时间都是处于领先地位，最后以12秒90的成绩完成这场比赛。

38.C解析：本题为情态动词辨析题。should意为“应该”；may意为“可能”；will意为“将要，会”，通常表示一种意愿；must意为“必须”。本句大意为：当你理所当然地认为孩子对一切食物都喜爱时，他也可能会喜爱一切食物。

39.D

40.C解析：这篇文章介绍了奥林匹克运动会的历史。有记载的第一次奥林匹克运动会是在公元前776年的希腊举行的。

41.B

42.A

43.A读懂该句可知，此处缺少一个“是”动词。此题测试对于英文中“是”动词单复数的基本掌握情况。因该句的主语为whichcities，因此应选are与其匹配。此题有可能错选is。注意先确定主语的单复数，后确定动词的单复数。

44.C解析：appealto为固定词组，意思是“吸引”。

45.B只有极少数特别的人怀有对人类的真正的爱，而不能容忍广大群体的罪恶与痛苦，不管这些是否与他们自身的生存有关。

46.C解析：本题测试运用介词的能力。本题中与介词搭配的是被其他词修饰的mornings，根据语法规则应该用On，这与词组inthemorning中的用法不同。

47.B解析：爬行动物是有鳞的冷血动物。

48.C解析：本题4个词中lesson,class比较简单，subject意为“课程”；而speciality意为“专业”。根据上下文，应该选C。

53.D

54.D解析：画线部分读[c:l]，其他选项的画线部分读[c:]。

55.B解析：选项B画线字母读[ue]，其他选项画线字母读[e]。

56.DA、B、C三项划线部分的发音为[c：j，而D项划线部分的发音是[au]，因此选D项。

58.B

59.A画线部分读

；其他选项的画线部分读[ju]。

60.BA、C、D三项的划线部分不发音，而B项的划线发[b]，因此选B项。

61.C解析：nowthat为连接词，意为“既然”。

62.C解析：本题考查固定词组的用法。either...or或者，both...and两者都，neither...nor两者都不。

63.C动词wish后的宾语从句中要用虚拟语气形式。表示与过去事实相反的愿望要用过去完成时。

64.A

65.B解析：本题为词组辨析题。layoff意为“停止，解雇”；writeoff意为“取消，购销”；turnoff意为“关掉”；putoff意为“推迟，敷衍”。本句大意为：自从他用来福枪自杀后，他所有的债务都一笔勾销了。

66.A

67.D

68.B解析：only引导的句子要倒装。选项A和C不完整。就是在内战时期，死伤了许多的美国士兵。

69.B解析：该题测试过去分词短语用作定语的用法。tried相当于定语从句whichwastried。A选项trying后缺少宾语，C选项和D选项则会造成动词重叠，或之间缺少必要的连词，故不用。

70.Bmakeitarule“使之成为规律”，it是形式宾语，指代to后引导的内容。

71.B解析：该题测试动词短语的用法。B选项cutoff意思是“切断、中断”；符合题意。而选项A意思是“插话”；C选项hangup意思是“放上话筒，挂断电话”，如：ShehunguponmewhileIwastalking.D选项putdown意思是“放下”，均与题意不合，故不用。

72.A解析：bestruckdumb意为“惊讶得说不出话来”。

73.Ex-president

74.A

75.A本题为词组辨析题。pullthrough意为“恢复健康”；pullup意为“停止”；pullout意为“驶出，划出”。本句大意为：史密斯先生的情况看上去很严重，恐怕他很难康复过来。

76.C解析：theinstant，themoment在句中可起连词作用，相当于when。

77.A解析：本题考动词的辨析。inspire意为“激励”；reinforce意为“加强”；spark意为“发出火花”；promote意为“促进，提拔”。结合句意，故A项正确。本句大意为：探险队的队长以自己为例鼓舞大家。

78.A解析：assist“协助”，用于句型assistsb.indoingsth.；help“帮助”；provide“供给，提供”；support“支援，帮助支持”。

79.A

80.Dpainfully意为“不情愿地”、“痛苦地”。

81.ToWhomItMayConcern:
