参考答案

2．答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据Crying Baby Festival, Tky 部分中“It's a 400-year-ld traditin based n a Japanese prverb(它是一个有着400 年传统基于日本的一句谚语而产生的节日)”可知，日本的Crying Baby Festival 这一节日来源于谚语。故选A。
3．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据Pali Cntest, Siena 部分中“In July and August, ten inhabitants f different districts f the city jckey fr first place in a spectacular hrse race.(7月和8月，该市不同地区的十名居民在一场壮观的赛马中争夺第一名)”可知，游客们7、8 月在意大利的锡耶纳可以看到赛马。故选C。
4．答案：D
解析：本题是一道推理判断题。题干意思是“第二段中提到乌鸦的例子是为了说明什么？”根据文章第二段“As the crw flies, this is abut 2200 miles.（乌鸦飞行的距离大约有2200英里。）”结合上下文句意可知，这里所说的是阿巴拉契亚国家步道穿越了美国14个州，而乌鸦直线飞行的距离约为2200英里。因此作者提到乌鸦的目的在于强调其路线很长。A选项的意思为“路途的风景”；B选项是“路线的高度”；C选项是“路途中的危险”；D选项是“路线的长度”。故本题的答案为D。
5．答案：A
解析：本题是一道细节理解题。题干意思是“对于阿拉巴契亚步道我们能够了解什么？”A选项的意思为“每年只有大约五分之一的徒步旅行者能够成功。”根据文章第三段中的“Abut 1,500 peple try it each year. Abut 300 peple make it.（每年有约1500人尝试，只有300人能够成功。）”也就是说，只有约五分之一的人能够成功，故A选项正确；B选项是“大多数徒步旅行者要花一年的时间来完成这一路线。”文章第二段提到如果不停地走需要六个月能够完成该路线，并在第三段中提到大多数人开始的地点和时间，但未提及大多数人完成所需的时间，故B选项错误；C选项是“阿拉巴契亚步道共穿过14座山。”文章第二段中提到“It ges thrugh 14 states”（穿过了美国14个州），因此选项与原文不符，故C错误；D选项是“阿拉巴契亚步道大约长2200英里。”根据第二段可知，乌鸦飞过阿拉巴契亚步道需要2200英里，而人步行的话需要2600英里，故D选项错误。故本题的答案为A。
6．答案：D
解析：本题是一道细节理解题。题干意思是“作者建议徒步旅行者做什么？”A选项的意思是“带足够的食物和水。”根据文章第三段中的“Wise ne dn’t carry fd.（明智的徒步者不会带食物。）”因此选项与原文不符，故A选项错误；B选项意思是“穿着又重又暖和的衣服。”根据第三段最后一句话“It shuld be light.（雨具应该是轻的。）”可知，作者建议徒步者轻装上阵，因此B选项错误；C选项意思是“带足够的地图和设备。”；D选项的意思是“在出发之前寄出包裹。”根据文章第三段“They send packages t pst ffices alng the way.（聪明的人会把行李寄到沿途的邮局。）”可知，作者建议不要携带太多的行李上路，要轻装上阵，因此C选项错误，D选项正确。故本题答案为D。
7．答案：C
解析：本题是一道标题判断题。题干意思是“从下列选项中选出最适合本文的一个标题。”通过阅读全文可知，本文主要介绍了徒步旅行者去阿巴拉契亚国家步道旅行的一些情况并给出一定的建议。A选项是“徒步旅行的建议”；B选项是“徒步旅行的危险”；C选项是“去阿巴拉契亚国家步道徒步旅行”；D选项是“对于大山的介绍”。故本题答案为C。
8．答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“Prague is the capital f Czech Republic (捷克共和国), and it’s in the center f Eurpe. Prague is a place where the eastern and western parts f Eurpe meet. The cultures f Eastern and Western Eurpe are quite different, but bth f them have greatly influenced Prague. And f curse, Prague has its wn culture as well.”（布拉格是捷克共和国的首都，位于欧洲的中心。布拉格是欧洲东西部交汇的地方。东欧和西欧的文化差异很大，但它们都对布拉格产生了巨大影响。当然，布拉格也有自己的文化。）可知，第一段主要讲由于布拉格所处的地理位置独特，受不同的文化影响，而且也有自己的文化，即布拉格包含不同的文化。故选A项。
9．答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句“Old Twn Square has several very ld and giant churches.”（老城广场有好几座十分古老的大教堂。）可知，老城广场有一些特别大的教堂。故选B项。
10．答案：D
解析：指代猜测题。根据“It”所在句子的前两句（第五段的第五、六句）“In the Jewish Quarter, the streets are narrwer and the buildings are smaller. It helps visitrs understand hw rdinary peple lived hundreds f years ag.”（在犹太区，街道更为狭窄，建筑物更加的小。它有利于游客理解数百年前普通人如何在这里的生活的。）可知，前面提到“Jewish Quarter”，而且第五段的第六句“It”指代的是Jewish Quarter，由划线“It”所在句子的“als”说明该句与前句的“It”指代的都是Jewish Quarter。故选D项。
11．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句“Here is anther piece f advice fr yu, just in case yu ever visit Prague. Try the beer. The Czech Republic is famus fr the best beer in the wrld!”（这里还有一条建议给你，假如你真的去了布拉格的话。尝尝啤酒。捷克共和国有着闻名世界的最好的啤酒！）可知，捷克共和国的啤酒是最好的，说明喜欢啤酒的人会觉得布拉格是个理想的旅游地。故选B项。
12．答案：A

13．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中"The researchers base their cnclusin n 'rapid advances in bimedical(生物医药) technlgy that delay the start and prgressin f majr deadly diseases r that slw the aging prcess.' " 可推知,最可能是生物医药的运用使得美国人未来寿命更长久。
14．答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段内容可推知,预期寿命的延长可能会带来增加政府的公共支出的问题。
15．答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。综合本文的内容可知,本文主要讲述了未来预期寿命的延长的事情。
16．答案：①-⑤ EAFDG
解析：①根据上文“The first step is t g explring, if yu’re ut f yur cmfrt zne r if yu’re wandering int smebdy’s huse fr the first time. (如果你离开了你的舒适区，或者你是第一次走进别人的家里,第一步是去探索)”可推知，本段主要说明想在晚宴上让自己变得有趣，就要走出舒适区，勇于冒险，敢于探索，本空应该承接上文解释要想让自己有趣，首先就要出现去冒险和探索，故E选项“所以最主要的事情就是出现去冒险”符合语境，下文“trying different fds and talking t strangers(尝试不同的食物，和陌生人聊天)”就是对冒险行为的具体解释。故选E项。
②根据后文“If yu can start the cnversatin with a questin ther than “What’s the weather like?”, yu’ll be able t get a lt mre interesting cnversatin ut f whmever it is yu’re talking t. If yu ask the questin “Hw did yu get here?”, it can bring in “I have this ld, brken-dwn vehicle” r “I rde the bus with these crazy peple wh were laughing at silly jkes in the back.” It just pens up cnversatin.(如果你可以用一个问题而不是“天气怎么样？”开始谈话，你就能从和你说话的人那里获得更多有趣的对话。如果你问“你是怎么来这里的？”，它可以带来“我有一辆又老又破的车”或“我和那些在后面嘲笑愚蠢笑话的疯子一起乘坐公共汽车。”它开启了对话)”可知，空处是主题句，接下来的内容是对主题句的论证，结合下文通过询问对方的事情来打开话题，可知人们更感兴趣的应该是一些与自己相关的问题。故A选项“人们喜欢谈论自己”符合语境，故选A。
③根据下文“If yu can’t take their wine away, yu shuld certainly try t take away their sapbx (讲台). If yu’re the hst, yu can ask them t help yu in the kitchen with smething and just remve them frm the situatin.(如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该努力拿走他们的讲台。如果你是主人，你可以让他们去厨房帮你做点什么，把他们从这个环境中带走)”可知，此处指出了一个问题的解决办法。由此推知，设空处提到了一个棘手的问题。F项引出下文的解决办法。故F选项“那个喝多了或者不停说话的人怎么办？”符合语境，本段是说喝多了喋喋不休的人的情况。F项中的“that persn wh had t much drink”对应“take their wine away”，“ take away their sapbx”对应“stp talking”。故选F。
④根据上文“If yu can’t take their wine away, yu shuld certainly try t take away their sapbx (讲台). If yu’re the hst, yu can ask them t help yu in the kitchen with smething and just remve them frm the situatin.(如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该努力拿走他们的讲台。如果你是主人，你可以让他们去厨房帮你做点什么，把他们从这个环境中带走)”可知，本段主要是为解决“喝太多酒或一直说个不停”这个问题提供方法。D项“或者把谈话变成一个他们没什么可说的话题”为另一个解决办法，承接上文，与上文是选择关系，建议转移话题来阻止话多的人，把话题转移到他们插不上嘴的话题上。故选D。
⑤根据上文“If yu’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the nly thing that always gets everyne talking again is t give the hst a cmpliment(赞扬).(如果你在晚宴上遇到尴尬的沉默，唯一能让大家重新开始交谈的方法就是赞美主人)”可知，此处指出赞美主人可以缓解尴尬的沉默，根据常识可知，宴会上出现尴尬的沉默时，最尴尬的就是主人，所以赞美主人来缓解尴尬。G项“他/她是最能感受到这种尴尬的人”符合题意，设空处承上启下，引出下文对主人的赞美。故选G。
17．答案：D

32．答案：is described；retired；checking；that；t；at；wh；wner；hrrible；prbably
解析：①考查谓语动词。句意：西红柿被描述为甜到“人们一看到它就想拥抱它”的情况并不多见。分析句子可知, 空格处是that从句的谓语部分, 主语a tmat和动词describe是被动关系, 并且上下文的时态是一般现在时, that从句也应该用一般现在时。故填is described。
②考查形容词。句意：这颗心形的西红柿是退休的制刀师罗德·马特里斯种植的。根据空格前的不定冠词a和空格后的knife maker可知, 空格处应该填入一个形容词。故填retired。
③考查现在分词。句意：他说, 他在检查自己的最新产品时, 在自己的温室里发现了这颗西红柿, 他很震惊。根据空格前的连词while和所给动词check可知, 这儿是考查状语从句的省略, 完整句子为：while he was checking _____ his latest prduce, 从句的主语和主句主语一致, 同时用到了be动词, 所以可以省略主语和be动词, 动词check的逻辑主语是he, 而he和check是主动关系, 所以要填现在分词。故填checking。
④考查连词。句意：几年前患过心脏病的马特里斯先生对这种水果感到非常惊讶, 他决定将其拍卖, 并将所得款项捐给英国心脏基金会。根据前面的副词s和句意可知, 这儿是考查固定句型“s…that…”。故填that。
⑤考查介词。句意：几年前患过心脏病的马特里斯先生对这种水果感到非常惊讶, 他决定将其拍卖, 并将所得款项捐给英国心脏基金会。根据前面的动词cntribute和句意可知, 这儿是考查固定搭配“cntribute…t…(把……捐给……)”。故填t。
⑥考查介词。句意：这个2.26盎司重的西红柿在eBay上以16英镑的价格被一名来自威尔士的女子买走, 她说她打算把它送给一个特别的人。根据空格后的the price可知, 这儿是考查固定搭配“at the price f (以……价格) ”。故填at。
⑦考查定语从句。句意：这个2.26盎司重的西红柿在eBay上以16英镑的价格被一名来自威尔士的女子买走, 她说她打算把它送给一个特别的人。分析句子可知, 空格后的部分是一个非限制性定语从句, 先行词是a wman, 要填一个关系代词在从句中做主语。故填wh。
⑧考查名词。句意：但因为保持番茄的新鲜非常重要, 所以马特勒斯先生争分夺秒地赶在番茄变坏之前把它送给了新主人。根据前面的its和形容词new以及句意可知, 空格处应该填入一个名词且意义为“主人”。故填wner。
⑨考查形容词。句意：我不想送什么可怕的东西给别人。根据空格前的smething和句意可知, 空格处应该填入一个形容词修饰smething, 所以要填hrrr的形容词形式。故填hrrible。
⑩考查副词。句意：我本可以用更多的时间筹集更多的资金, 但我很担心。根据句意分析句子可知, 空格处应该填入一个副词来修饰谓语动词, 所以要用prbable的副词形式。故填prbably。
