A.fittingroomsB.tradingfairsC.businesstalks D.groupmeetings答案:B解析:詞義猜測題。swap意思是“交換”,由相似表達(dá)sportsmeet可以推出meet的含義,再從文中“Thereweresomanyshoesthatpeopleweresettingupswapmeetstotryandmatchleftandrightshoestosellorwear.”可以確定答案為B項(xiàng)。trading的意思是“交易”;fair意思是“集市”。25.Ebbesmeyerphonedtheshoecompanytofindout.

A.arenotinterestedinitB.havebiologicallimitationsC.havenotinventedpropertoolsD.areafraidtomakeanattempt答案:B解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知,人類在水面上行走的想法無法實(shí)現(xiàn)的主要原因是生物的局限性:人們的身體太重,水面無法承受這種壓力。29.WhatdoweknowaboutBasilicusbasilicusfromthepassage?A.Itislightenoughtowalkonwater.B.Itshugefeetenableittostayabovewater.C.Itcanrunacrosswateratacertainspeed.D.Itsuniqueskinkeepsitfromgettingwetinwater.答案:C解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第三、四句可知,這種生活在中美洲和南美洲的蜥蜴能夠以20步/秒的步頻在水面飛跑。這樣的步頻能達(dá)到一定的速度。30.Whatisthefunctionofthecornflouraccordingtothepassage?A.Tocreateathickliquid.B.Toturnthewaterintosolid.C.Tohelptheliquidbehavenormally.D.Toenablethewatertomoverapidly.答案:A解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第二句和最后一句可推斷出,這種玉米淀粉的作用是讓液體變得黏稠。thickeningagent“增稠劑”。31.Whatistheauthor’sattitudetowardtheideaofhumans’walkingonwater?A.Itisriskybutbeneficial.B.Itisinterestingandworthtrying.C.Itiscrazyandcannotbecomeareality.D.Itisimpracticalthoughtheoreticallypossible.答案:D解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句可推斷出,作者認(rèn)為,人類在水面上行走的想法是不切合實(shí)際的,雖然這一想法在理論上似乎可行。32.DForanislandexperiencejusttakingafewminutesbyferryfromVictoriaPoint,whynotvisitCoochiemudloIsland?CoochiemudloIslandisabeautifulsubtropicalislandwithgoldenbeaches,calmwatersandarelaxedatmosphere.Thename“Coochiemudlo”hastheaboriginal(土著的)meaningofredrock,whichisduetoasteepbankofredcliffsonthesouth-westerncorneroftheisland.Thisfeatureisuncharacteristicoftherestoftheisland,whichisfringed(為界)withsandybeachesandbluewaters.Someofthelocalcraftsmenusetheredrockstocreateuniqueartworks.Coochiemudlo’speacefulatmosphereandstunningviewshaveinspiredmanyartists,andarangeofartsandcraftsaredisplayedattheCoochieCraftMarkets.Manyoftheseartworkscanalsobefoundondisplayatoneoftheisland’sgalleries.Nearly200yearsago,theexplorerMatthewFlinderslandedonCoochiemudloIslandandthishistoriceventiscelebratedeachJulywithareenactment(重現(xiàn))ofthelandingandafunday.ThewaterssurroundingCoochiemudlocouldbedescribedasawaterplayground.Theareaispopularforwindsurfing,sailing,swimmingandpaddlingboats.Youmaybeluckyenoughtospotadolphinorturtleintheshallowwatersnearthebeach.Wetlandsoccupyalargeportionofthenorth-easternpartoftheisland,whereaMelaleucaswampandopenwoodlandcanbefound.Thisareasupportsavarietyofbirdlifeincludingmigratoryspecies.Stayingontheislandiseasy.Thereisarangeofaccommodationincludingholidayhomesandresort-styleunits.Gettingtotheislandiseasy.ApassengerferryandvehiclebargeserviceoperatesfromVictoriaPointeveryhalfhour,sevendaysaweek.Onceyougettotheisland,CoochieBusServicewilltakeyouwhereyouwanttogo.Pleasenote:nocampingisallowedonCoochiemudloIsland.32.CoochiemudloIslandgotitsnamefromits.

A.frightening B.attractiveC.boring D.cold答案:B解析:詞義猜測題。綜合文章信息可知,CoochiemudloIsland是一個(gè)平靜而美麗的島嶼,島上風(fēng)景宜人。34.WhichofthefollowingisNOTtrueaccordingtothepassage?A.WecangettoCoochiemudloIslandbyboatfromVictoriaPoint.B.MostofCoochiemudloIslandiscoveredbysandybeachesandbluewaters.C.OnCoochiemudloIslandtheboatistheonlymeansoftransport.D.EveryyearpeoplecelebratethehistoriceventthatMatthewFlinderslandedonCoochiemudloIsland.答案:C解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Onceyougettotheisland,CoochieBusServicewilltakeyouwhereyouwanttogo.”可知C項(xiàng)表述不正確。35.Thetextisprobably.
