A.Apublicrequestandanewspaperreport.

B.Anewspaperarticleandareplytoit.

C.Twopartsofanewspaperarticle.

D.Twonewspaperreports.答案：1-4DBCB解析：1．這是一道主旨題。第一個(gè)短文是一個(gè)新聞，介紹了馬戲團(tuán)出現(xiàn)了老虎襲擊訓(xùn)獸獅后被擊斃的悲劇，從而說明動(dòng)物進(jìn)入馬戲團(tuán)是悲慘不幸的，號(hào)召人們保護(hù)馬戲團(tuán)的動(dòng)物，選D.2．這是一道推理題。根據(jù)第一段中“Asthecircuspackedupandleft,circusofficialssaidtheshowwouldgoon,evenwithouttigers.”說明馬戲團(tuán)還將繼續(xù)演出，選B.3．這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)“Tous,theperforminganimalsarerepresentativesoftheirspecies,andourcircusisoneoftheonlyplacesleftwillingtosupportthisspecialroleofperforminganimalsintheexistenceofthespecies.”所以馬戲團(tuán)認(rèn)為他們保護(hù)了表演動(dòng)物的物種。4．這是一道推理題。根據(jù)兩篇文中的內(nèi)容，第一個(gè)是說馬戲團(tuán)里的動(dòng)物生活悲慘，第二個(gè)說馬戲團(tuán)認(rèn)為他們保護(hù)了動(dòng)物。兩篇文中針鋒相對(duì)，第一篇顯然是新聞，而第二篇是針對(duì)第一篇的反擊C12.—Heaskedme,"HowareyougettingalongwithyourEnglishstudy?"

—Heasked_______.[

]

A.howIamgettingalongwithmyEnglishstudy.

B.howareyougettingalongwithyourEnglishstudy.

C.howIwasgettingalongwithmyEnglishstudy.

D.howwasIgettingalongwithmyEnglishstudy.答案：C13.Mayyou_______theexperiment!

Thankyouverymuch.A．successinB．succeedtodoC．succeedindoingD．succeeddoing答案：C解析：選擇C。maysbdosth表示祝愿，后面用動(dòng)詞原形，succeedindoing是固定搭配。14..Ifthecarwon’tstart,_____it.A．trypushB．trypushingC．totrypushingD．totrytopush答案：B解析：B。注意句首為if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句，填空句為祈使句，故第一個(gè)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)是try，不應(yīng)是totry；另外，trydoingsth的意思是“做某事試試看有何效果”。15.—Howwiseofyoutocomeround,butwhy?

—﹍﹍thatallisright.A．SeeB．ToseeC．SeeingD．Forseeing答案：B解析：選B。單從答語上看，很難確定哪個(gè)是正確答案。若用“補(bǔ)全法”，聯(lián)系問句，在頭腦中補(bǔ)上省去的部分，便可知孰對(duì)孰錯(cuò)。問句中與答語有直接聯(lián)系的部分是“butwhy”，它的完整意思是“…butwhyhaveyoucomeround”，其完整答語應(yīng)是“I’vecomeroundtoseethatallisright”。答語中省去了主、謂部分，只保留了作目的狀語的不定式。由此可知正確選項(xiàng)是B。16.假設(shè)你是李華，你在報(bào)上看到北京電視臺(tái)今年七月將舉辦外國人“學(xué)中文，唱中文歌”才藝大賽。你的美國朋友Peter正在北京一所大學(xué)學(xué)中文，你覺得他應(yīng)去試一試。請(qǐng)按以下要點(diǎn)給他寫信告知此事，并表示可以提供幫助。

細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)第三小節(jié)中的Youcanactuallyincreaseyourhappinesslevels.That’swhatweteach可知A項(xiàng)正確。B項(xiàng)與文章的提供的信息正好相反，C項(xiàng)是形象化的說明，并非真實(shí)條件與結(jié)果，D項(xiàng)中關(guān)于BillGates的說法是文章所沒有說明的。2.

詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)句子peoplewhoarelesswelloffthanyou—poorer,smallerhouse,car，以及前文出現(xiàn)的比較級(jí)betterofffinancially/materially，可知是指“富有”。3.

主旨?xì)w納題。本文講述金錢與幸福之間的關(guān)系，只有D項(xiàng)最能體現(xiàn)文章的中心。36.Withalargeamountofwork_____,thechiefmanagercouldn'tsparetimeforaholiday.
