答案：
Passage1
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了abullinachinashp(牛闯瓷器店)这个典故的使用语境及其由来。
1.G 段中过渡句。上文描述一头大公牛在瓷器店里乱窜。店里所有易碎的盘子、碗和茶杯都会掉在地上摔得粉碎。下一句讲,无论他们走到哪里,都会制造混乱。所以选G项(所以这个典故描述的是一个笨拙不灵活的人),承上启下。
2.A 段中过渡句。上句描述如果你在一个狭小的空间里表现得很疯狂,到处打碎东西,你就像一只闯进瓷器店的公牛。下文讲也许你只是块头很大,或者你的身体动作不太优雅。因此选A项(但也许你不是故意的)。
3.C 段首主旨句。此处承接上段,进行了转折,空格处是本段的主旨句。当一个人在处理一个微妙的问题时感到格格不入,他们可以说自己像一头公牛在瓷器店里。因此选C项(这个典故还有其他用法)。
4.B 段中过渡句。上句表示这个典故也可以表示你把一个微妙的情况处理得很糟糕。下句则表示反而你是火上浇油。这意味着你让情况变得更糟。因此选B项(你的反应不够冷静和谨慎)。
5.E 段尾总结句。上文主要说的典故中的公牛,而设空处上句表示许多语言都有类似的表达,但可能它们用的是不同的动物,比如大象。因此E项(大象在瓷器店也会造成很大的破坏)符合语境。
Passage2
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。园艺需要大量的体力劳动。这种活动可以从轻度运动扩展到重体力劳动。但是它也会伤害身体。本文介绍了避免伤害身体的一些方法。
1.F 段中过渡句。第一段讲,园艺可以燃烧卡路里和锻炼肌肉。本段第一句进行了转折,表示它也会伤害身体。因此选F项(园丁的背部会开始疼,膝盖也会疼)。与下句“即使是最强壮、最健康的园丁也会伤到自己。”相一致。
2.E 段中过渡句。上句讲道在搬运你需要的物品时,稍加小心就可以防止受伤。下文是避免受伤的做法,E项(记得提重物时膝盖要弯曲)与下句内容相一致,故选E项。
3.A 段中过渡句。本段介绍的是为了避免受伤,可以使用手推车运输重型物资。上句讲道,人们很容易高估自己搬运重物的能力。因此选A项(结果可能导致受伤)。
4.C 段首主旨句。下句讲道,你也可以用护膝来保护膝盖。因此空格处要填的也是一项保护措施,故选C项(坐在带轮子的花园座椅上四处走动)。
5.D 段尾结束句。上句讲道,最重要的是,慢慢来,放轻松。因此选D项(将园艺时间限制在60到90分钟之间)。

2.E 段中过渡句。上文讲道,出于对纸张浪费的担忧,许多人开始寻找其他包装礼物的选择。你可以用可重复使用的袋子装礼物,保留你收到的礼品袋和其他装饰品。因此选E项(下次你送礼物的时候可以重复使用)。
3.B 段中过渡句。上句讲道,现在有太多的数码的选择了。因此选B项(人们从中得到的快乐也一样多),与下一句“那些想要送传统卡片的人可以选择用可回收纸印刷的卡片。”相对应。
4.G 段中过渡句。上句讲道,对于装饰家居,专家们再次建议人们考虑再利用和循环利用。下文表示,一位专家建议使用旧的节日卡片作为装饰。因此空格处也是装饰家居的一种好方法,因此选G项(天然的绿色植物可以使房间变得漂亮,闻起来很香)。
5.A 段尾总结句。本段是关于圣诞树的选择。上文讲道,这些树是为了砍伐而种植的,通常每年都会重新种植新的树木。因此选A项(如此循环往复)。
