Her home was in the country, but she didn’t want to have to go back there every night. So she rented an expensive flat in the centre of the city, bought some beautiful furniture and hired a man to paint the rooms in new colours.‎ It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it, so she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better and more willingly for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill. At the bottom of it were the words: “Four hours watching Miss Ball sing and dance: $3,” with this note: “After 5 p.m., I get fifteen shillings an hour instead of ten shillings.” ‎ ‎16.

They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water. ‎ For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water — two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks(鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”‎ About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up. So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over. ‎ ‎19.

It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.‎ Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating(交际). Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.‎ Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.‎ Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.‎ ‎23.

How Computers Change Our Habits ‎ ‎(D)‎ Even a child knows that nodding(点头) the head means “Yes”. But some people will probably be puzzled when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, he often shakes his head. They might think that the Indian does not like what he said, but on the contrary he is expressing agreement.‎ The Indians have a habit of shaking their heads slightly when they talk to somebody. It doesn’t mean “No”, but “Yes”.‎ If a person doesn’t know this, it might cause misunderstanding.‎ At one time a foreigner in India told his driver who was an Indian to take him to his office. The driver shook his head. The foreigner repeated his request and the driver shook his head again. At last, the foreigner shouted angrily, “Drive me to my office at once!” The driver said in a low voice, “Yes, sir,” smiling and shaking his head again at the same time.‎ ‎27.

A. 前面说老师常告诫我们不要浪费时间，这里是解释原因，即我们平时所说的“时光一去不复返”。lost 为过去分词作后置定语，其他选项不合语境。‎ ‎2. B。下文进一步阐述说时间很珍贵，不能浪费时间等，“我”认为“时光一去不复返”这一说法是正确的，即 I think it quite true。‎ ‎3. D。前面问的是 What does time look like，再结合后面的 Time is abstract(抽象的)来看，此处说的是“时间既看不见，也摸不着”，故用 touch。‎ ‎4. B。前面说时间既看不见又摸不着，再结合钱的功能可推测，该句说的是“时间是不能用一定数量的钱能买得到的”。‎ ‎5. D。前面分别提到时间不能看、摸，也不能用钱买，时间是抽象的，由此可推测我们只能“思考”它。‎ ‎6. A。有些同学把时间用在了看戏、看电影和逛公园上，当然他们就没有足够的时间来复习功课了，故用 enough。‎ ‎7. C。从后面的 they waste it in going to theatres, cinemas… 可知他们不知道如何利用时间。make use of 为固定短语，意为“利用”。‎ ‎8. A。从前部分 They waste it in going to theatres, cinemas and parks 来看，此处指的是上述列举内容外的东西，故用 other 修饰 things.‎ ‎9. D。从上下文来看，这里说的是人们为何学习与工作，与前面说的study　平行，故此处用 work。‎ ‎10. D。由 instead of walking 可推测这里说的是交通问题，故用take，即为什么多数人乘车而不步行？take buses 是常见搭配，意为“乘车”。‎ ‎11. B。前面是三个 Why 引导的问句，最后 We wish to save time because time is… 是对这三个问题的回答，故此处说的是这三个问题的答案，即答案很简单，就是我们希望节省时间。‎ ‎12. B。从前面所说的多数人靠乘车代替步行来看，这里说的是“我们应节省时间，因为时间很珍贵”。‎ ‎13. B。从后面的 When a person dies, his life…Since life is short… 来看，本段是把时间比作生命，即谈论时间的珍贵。‎ ‎14. C。从 When a person dies 可推测，“他的生命也就完结了”，故用ends。‎ ‎15. B此处说的是“我们要把我们的时间和精力投入到学习中”。devote one’s time and energy to sth 意为“把时间和精力投入到某事中”。‎ ‎16. D。从语境来看，这里是告诫人们“人生短暂，要把时间和精力放在学习上，以便以后更好地为人民服务”。serve the people 意为“为人民服务”。‎ ‎17. D。从后面说“它不仅给我们带来失败，而且还带来了其他的危害”来看，这里应选 thief，即“懒惰是时间的窃贼”。‎ ‎18. B。前面说懒惰带给我们失败，此处是进一步说懒惰还带给我们其他的危害。do sb harm 是固定短语，意为“给某人带来危害”。‎ ‎19. A。从前面所给的条件 If it is necessary for us to do our work today来看，这里表示“我们今天能做的事情就不要留到明天来做”，故用 leave。‎ ‎20. D。从整篇文章来看，这里说的是时间珍贵，我们要珍惜时间。句意为“切记时间比金钱更有珍贵”，这与文章观点吻合。‎ Dear Mr Smith,‎ I am Li Hua, Chairman of the Students’ Union. I am glad to invite you on behalf of the Students’ Union to attend an outing which is to be held at Nan Shan next Sunday.‎ If you are willing to go with us, please make sure of the following things.
