Key:(A)名師點(diǎn)評(píng):天氣和假期永遠(yuǎn)是西方人日常談?wù)摰脑?huà)題,所以要了解西方文化就必須對(duì)他們的節(jié)假日有足夠的了解。本文為你提供了一些,想必你會(huì)對(duì)西方的文化有進(jìn)一步的了解。答案簡(jiǎn)析:1.B節(jié)假日中人們喜歡一家人一起出去游玩。2.B and這里表承接。3.A 根據(jù)第一句話(huà)中的提示。4.C yet用于現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的否定句中,其他詞均不可以。5.C 在旅游前,人們需要談?wù)撘幌掠?jì)劃,故選need。6.C 本文都是以第三人稱(chēng)寫(xiě)的。7.A 節(jié)假日過(guò)后,人們總會(huì)互相詢(xún)問(wèn)是否喜歡自己的旅行。8.B 有時(shí)一些相似的問(wèn)題也會(huì)在假日來(lái)臨之前就被討論,故選before。9.B這里講的是外國(guó)人的旅游習(xí)慣,包括那些在中國(guó)工作和生活的外國(guó)人。visitors則是片面的,僅指游客,故不選。10.C have opportunities意為“有機(jī)會(huì)”。11.C 與第6題同解。12.D 本文是圍繞人們問(wèn)旅游方面的問(wèn)題展開(kāi)的,故選questions。13.B 他們對(duì)以下的事感興趣,想知道其中情況,故選B。14.A 他們很想知道自己有沒(méi)有選對(duì)地方,故選right。15.B 根據(jù)常識(shí),人們一般會(huì)認(rèn)為著名的地方都是正確的選擇,所以人們想知道那些不太著名的地方是否是正確的選擇。

(B)名師點(diǎn)評(píng):這是一封溫馨老友的來(lái)信,信中提到了同學(xué)的重聚勾起了對(duì)往日學(xué)校生活和昔日同窗的懷念。答案簡(jiǎn)析:1.A 主句是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),從句由since引導(dǎo)。2.D a few和few均修飾可數(shù)名詞,但few表否定。3.A 其它三種表達(dá)方式錯(cuò)誤,這里無(wú)需用名詞的所有格。4.B for加一段時(shí)間用于現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)表延續(xù)。5.A in a university/at university均可以表示上大學(xué),這里因?yàn)橐延辛薬故選in,而不選at。6.D 因?yàn)楹镁脹](méi)通信,所以對(duì)George的情況一無(wú)所知。7.C have a reunion為固定搭配。8.C。想起了過(guò)去的日子,故選days。9.A。10.D feel doing something表示“感覺(jué)……”。11.B 賓語(yǔ)從句用陳述語(yǔ)序。12.B 根據(jù)上下文的時(shí)態(tài)可知這里用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。13.A朋友們都想知道學(xué)校里的事是否讓他很忙。這里可以比較四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思,再根據(jù)上文的意思可知選busy。14.D 他們想知道許多關(guān)于George的事。15.C my best regards相當(dāng)于my best wishes。

(C)名師點(diǎn)評(píng):這是一則幽默,說(shuō)明許多人都喜歡聽(tīng)奉承話(huà),有的人自以為清高,其實(shí)也被戴上“高帽子”, 而自己卻不知道。答案簡(jiǎn)析:1.D wear 表示狀態(tài), put on 表示動(dòng)作。根據(jù)結(jié)構(gòu)give sb. sth. to do可知D為正確選項(xiàng)。2.D 3.B 因?yàn)橐チ硪粋€(gè)城市工作了, 故向他的老師道別。4.A 想做一個(gè)好官員, 應(yīng)該說(shuō)是不容易的。5.B be strict with sb. 意為“對(duì)某人嚴(yán)格要求”。6.C 準(zhǔn)備了一百個(gè)“高帽子”,其實(shí)就是奉承的好話(huà),而不是做或是買(mǎi)了許多高帽子。7.D make sb. happy意為“使某人高興”。8.A。9.B 這里應(yīng)該用形容詞,表示老師聽(tīng)了他的話(huà)有點(diǎn)生氣。10.D 由what 引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句,表示不要忘了老師教過(guò)的事。11.A You are right表示贊同老師說(shuō)的話(huà)。12.C 當(dāng)出現(xiàn) no, nothing nobody 等一系列否定詞的時(shí)候,只能用almost 不能用 nearly。13.B 聽(tīng)了奉承話(huà)以后, 他很高興。14.A 表示送出了一頂, 而不是買(mǎi)或者賣(mài),與上文相呼應(yīng)。15.A left 這里表示“剩下的, 剩余的”。
