25、(体验)。故答案为 C。2B 考查动词的时态和语态。此处指 “被说服” ，在条件状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时。3A 考查现在分词的用法。从时间状语 four years later 可以看出，这是过去的一个动作，所以这里相当于 and graduated，因此用现在分词作结果状语。4B 考查动词短语辨析。care about 关心；care for 喜欢；take care of 照料。根据句意，答案为 B。5C 考查非谓语动词。view 和句子的主语 the city 是动宾关系，所以需要用被动形式，因此将 A 和 D 排除。B 项表将来或目的，不合逻辑，所以选择 C。6D 考查非谓
26、语动词的用法。此处过去分词短语作伴随状语，not 否定不定式，故置于其前。句意：杰克去年上大学离开了父母，决心实现他的目标才回家。7A 考查非谓语动词。ing 式形容词表示“令人的” ，常用于修饰物； ed式形容词表示“的” ，常用于修饰人。所以本题应用 interested，在句中作宾补。8D 考查状语从句。since 自以来，从以后，引导时间状语从句。句意：据报道，自清华大学建校以来已有一百年了。It is一段时间since 从句表示“自从以来已有多长时间了” 。9A 考查名词词义辨析。 transport 运输，运送，运输工具； service 服务；means 方式，手段；traffi
27、c 交通。语境表达“通过公共运输工具出行” ，可知 A 项正确。10C 考查名词辨析。attitude towards“对的态度”是固定搭配。11B 考查主动表示被动的情况。句子的主语与其后的不定式为逻辑上的动宾关系时，形容词后用不定式的主动形式表示被动含义，故用 to breathe。12A 考查名词辨析。schedule 时间表，进度表。relief 欣慰； budget 预算； concern 关心，担忧。tight schedule 指时间表安排得很紧。13C 考查名词性从句。句意：我们还没有定下来这个问题对他来讲是否有必要出国学习。根据句意需要 whether 引导宾语从句。14B
28、考查形容词词义辨析。句意：预计嫌疑犯会被绳之以法，因为另一个可靠的证人许诺将出庭作证。secure 意为 “安全的，牢固的，有把握的” ；reliable 意为“可靠的，真实可信的” ；punctual 意为“准时的，严守时刻的” ；respectful 意为“有礼貌的，谦恭的” 。根据句意可知 B 项正确。15B 考查短语辨析。句意： 抱歉，我踩到你的脚了。这完全是意外。才不是！你是故意的。as usual 通常，像平常一样；on purpose 故意，有意地；at an end 完结；right away 立即，马上。.作者偶然翻开卡片，思绪回到从前，恩情永生难忘，世界如此温暖。一张卡片，
29、一位好人，一段美好的人生回忆。16C 作者看到这张卡片后，把它 “翻过来”去看卡片背面的内容。turn over 表示“翻转” 。17C 在卡片的背面，有草草的手写的 “信息” ，字都褪色了。message 一般指口头传递的或书写的信息，是可数名词。D 项通常指消息、情报、资料等，是不可数名词，故排除。18D 看到卡片上的内容，作者的思绪立刻 “回”到了多年以前。19A 根据第二段最后一句中的 “magazines”可知作者当时背着一包“杂志” 。20B 作者当天转了几圈后，最终来到了那家公司。21D Mr.Rader 总是把作者带到那里， “询问”他的员工是否想购买作者的杂志。22D 作者像
30、一只落汤鸡一样 “抖落”身上的雨水，走进了他的办公室。shake off“抖掉，甩掉” ，符合语境。23B 他匆匆地看了一眼，发觉作者的窘况后，把作者“领”到壁炉旁。24A 本段的后半部分提到他为作者购买了一双新鞋，由此可推知他注意到了作者的鞋上有“洞” 。25B 参见上题解析。26A 他们将车“停”在一家鞋店前。 pull up“停车，停止” ，符合题意。后三项分别表示“理解，吸收” 、 “开走” 、 “走近” ，都不符合语境。27B 售货员给作者挑选了一双非常合适的鞋，此处 fit 用作动词，意为“使适合” 。28C 这是作者“曾经”见到过的最好的一双牛津鞋。29D 作者穿上这双鞋站起来后
31、，感觉自己大约有十英尺那么高，in them 表示的是 in the shoes。30C 文章第一段提到作者看到那张 “卡片”后，思绪回到了从前，此处与之相呼应。31A 根据本句后半部分中的 “do to you”可知此空应用 Do。本句的意思是“己所不欲，勿施于人” 。32B 他亲切地说：“吉米，我想让你知道我爱你。 ”33A 作者第一次“感觉到 ”希望的闪现，不管怎样，事情总会好起来的。34C 根据上文叙述的 Mr.Rader 帮助作者推销杂志以及给作者买鞋等可知他是一个非常善良的人。35D 世界上有了像 Mr.Rader 这样的人，就有了希望、善良和关爱，世界也会因此而不同。make a
32、 difference 表示 “有影响，起作用” 。前三项分别表示 “交易” 、 “财富” 、 “选择” ，显然有悖文意。.随着澳大利亚经济的繁荣发展，有越来越多的美国人去澳大利亚寻找工作。他们的发展如何呢？让我们从文章中寻找答案。36B 细节理解题。从第二段中的 “but growing numbers as near 10% unemployment at home drives more to look for jobs Down Under”知，美国将近 10%的失业率导致越来越多的美国人到澳大利亚寻找工作，所以选 B 项。37A 推理判断题。从文章倒数第二段中的 “457 work visasas well as other skilled workers”可知， 457 工作签证是专门颁发给高级技术工人的，所以答案选 A 项。38B 从 Daniel Davila 的例子并结合文章可知，很多美国人在澳大利亚赚的钱要比在美国赚的多得多，由此可知答案为 B 项。39D 细节理解题。从最后一段的 “The need for workers is particularly pressing in Western Australia.”可知，澳大利亚的西部地区急需工人，答案选 D 项。
