第36题：
A.as
B.but
C.and
D.if
参考答案：C
答案解析：
两个分句间没有转折意思，也不存在因果关系或假设关系，应用并列连词and来
连接，故选C。

第37题：

C.sorry
D.patient
参考答案：A
答案解析：
职工上班迟到，经理当然是不会高兴的，故选A。

第38题：
A.ran
B.came
C.rode
D.drove
参考答案：B
答案解析：
这里用came既表示汽车“到来”，也强调了方向。

另三项既没有“到达”之意，也没有往说话人方向来的意思。

came round the corner是个常见短语，表示汽车“拐了过来”。

第39题：
A.hotel
B.shop
C.bank
D.restuarant
参考答案：C
答案解析：
就本句来说，所提供的四个选项似乎都可以，因此不要匆忙作出决定，继续往下看，当读到48题后面的opening a bank account时，就不难看出本题的答案显然是bank，表示“在银行工作”，故选C。

第40题：
A.believe
B.expect
C.guess
D.hope
参考答案：D
答案解析：
believe和guess通常表示一个较有把握的判断或主观臆断，与下文不符。

expect 通常指对未来的期望，故也不妥。

hope一词后面的宾语从句所述内容可以是过去情况，也可以是现在情况，也可以是将来情况，特别当说话人不知道结果会是什么时，常用hope表示“希望”。

第41题：
A.much
B.such
C.more
D.this
参考答案：B
答案解析：
such通常指上述情况，such luck指上文the manager doesn't notice。

But no such luck意思是“但没那样走运”。

另外，一般说not much，而不说no much，故不选 A。

this通常指下文要说的话，that通常指上文所说的话，故也不选D。

这里没有比较含义，故C是错的。

第42题：
A.excuse
B.idea
C.cause
D.answer
参考答案：A
答案解析：
根据经理说话的语气，显然很生气。

根据史密斯下面的回答，这里经理要问的显然不是idea或answer，而是reason，cause或excuse，再根据第57题后的提示语，本题应选A，“What's your excuse this time?”意思是“这次你有什么话说?”excuse这里指“谎言，借口”，表示经理不止一次看到他迟到，知道他又要编造借口。

第43题：
A.Hurry
B.Set
C.Catch
D.Get
参考答案：D
答案解析：
经理要史密斯明天早点起床。

Hurry up表示“快点走”，是催促一个正要开始或正在进行的动作，故选A不合句意，应予排除。

第44题：
A.business
B.job
C.place
D.spot
参考答案：C
答案解析：
本题要求正确理解词意，根据经理的讲话内容，即：再过几分钟银行就要开门了，上柜台边你的位置上去，这里的位置指的是工作人员指定的工作处，应选C。

spot指事情所发生的特殊地点或地区，不合句意，故应排除。

go to your place/seat表示“到位置上去”，一般不说go to your business/job。

第45题：
A.Before
B.Behind
C.Beyond
D.Against
参考答案：B
答案解析：
表示具体的方位，“在某人的前面”说in front of sb．；在某人的后面说behind sb．。

第59题后也有提示，故本题选B。

第46题：
A.nervous
B.shy
C.calm
D.angry
参考答案：A
答案解析：
根据下文“每隔几秒钟，他便朝门口张望”，显然是紧张心理所致，故选A。

A.down
B.towards
C.for
D.through
参考答案：B
答案解析：
look towards．．．表示“朝……看”。

第48题：
B.talked
C.asked
D.worried
参考答案：C
答案解析：
本题与下题连起来考虑，本题选C，下题选A。

第49题：
rmation
B.offer
C.introduction
D.support
参考答案：A
答案解析：
全句的意思是：“那位姑娘向我询问关于建立账号的事儿。

我就对她讲了建立帐户的必要的常识……”
第50题：
A.Again
B.Then
C.Thus
D.However
参考答案：B
答案解析：
Then在这里相当于At that time。

第51题：
A.hidden
B.roiled
C.filled
D.covered
参考答案：D
答案解析：
根据后面的介词with，考虑C、D，根据句意，应选D，表示“拿起用棕色纸包着的东西”。

第52题：
A.getting
C.appearing
D.sticking
参考答案：D
答案解析：
stick out of his coat意为“从大衣中伸出来”。

get out of一般用来指人或动物的动作，故不适合于本题。

aim与out of不能搭配，appear不能用于现在分词作宾补。

第53题：
A.took
B.shook
C.filled
D.tore
参考答案：C
答案解析：
紧接着—声大叫胀满了我的双耳。

另三个动词与a loud noise不能搭配。

第54题：
A.what
B.when
C.that
D.which
参考答案：A
答案解析：
根据句子结构，After为介词，后面为一从句作After的宾语。

在这个宾语从句中，谓语动词前缺少了主语。

在四个选项中，what作为代词可以作主语，故选A。

B为明显错误。

C、D两项是关系代词，但前面没有先行词，关系代词就不能成立，故也应排除。

本句意思是“好像过了很长时间以后。

”
第55题：
A.Even
B.Still
C.Just
D.Ever
参考答案：B
答案解析：
句意为“想起这场可怕的恶梦，仍然浑身颤抖”。

第56题：
B.past
C.such
D.yet
参考答案：A
答案解析：
as usual为固定短语，表示“像往常一样”。

第57题：
A.Less
B.Plenty
C.More
D.None
参考答案：D
答案解析：
None of your excuses!意思是“不要强调借口”。

none of是固定搭配，常用在相当于祈使句的结构中，表示“别告诉我……”，“去你的……”。

第58题：
A.belief
B.surprise
C.joy
D.regret
参考答案：B
答案解析：
在睡梦中经历的事情在眼前发生了，而且那么相似，这种情况当然会使史密斯感到惊奇，故选B。

第59题：
A.of
B.with
C.on
D.in
参考答案：D
答案解析：
介词in可表示“穿着”，相当于wearing或dressed in。

介词with不能表示“穿着”，只能表示“拿着”，为了和第三段第一句一致，这里应用in，而不用with。

第60题：
A.dream
B.story
C.affair
D.incident
参考答案：A
答案解析：
史密斯从内心发出感叹，奇怪的是真有梦幻与现实如此巧合之事。

这里感叹上面的整个梦境，故选A。

阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项[A]、[B]、[C]、[D]中选出最佳选项。

B
An old and very rich friend of mine told me he had an unpleasant experience. He went to a famous jewelry shop and asked to be shown some gold necklaces. After examining several, he decided to buy a gold necklace with a precious stone, and asked if he could pay by check. The assistant said that was quite in order, but the moment my friend signed his name, he was invited into the manager's office. The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone with exactly the same name had given them a worthless check not long ago. My friend got very angry when he heard this and said that he would buy a necklace somewhere else. When he got up to go, the manager told him that the police would arrive at any moment and he had better stay unless he wanted to get into serious trouble. Sure enough, the police arrived soon afterwards. They were polite, too, but explained that a person who had used the same name as his was responsible for a number of recent robberies. Then the police asked my friend to copy out a note which had been used by the thief in a number of stores. The note read, "I have a gun in my pocket. Ask no question and give me all the money in the drawer."
Fortunately, my friend's handwriting was quite unlike the thief's. He was not only allowed to go without further delay, but to take the necklace with him.
第61题：
When the man asked if he could pay by check, the assistant ______.
A.refused to take any
B.invited him into the manager's office
C.said that was all right
D.said nothing was wrong with a check
参考答案：C
答案解析：
细节题。

从文中The assistant said that was quite in order可直接提取答
案，quite in order意为可以使用。

所以，C正确。

第62题：
Why was the man invited into the manager's office?
A.His handwriting was like a thief’s.
B.A thief had used the same name as his.
C.He didn't sign his name correctly.
D.His check was different from others.
参考答案：B
答案解析：
推理题。

从下文警察向他解释一个使用与他相同名字的人涉嫌多宗抢劫案可推知。

因此，选B。

第63题：
After the man heard what the manager said. he ______.
A.got very angry and left at once
B.went out to buy a necklace somewhere else
C.insisted' on staying until the police came
D.thought that he had nothing to do with the stealing
参考答案：D
答案解析：
推理题。

当他听到经理的话后，正准备要离开，但又被经理劝止了，并等到警察来，要排除A、B、C项，而他生气正是因为他认为自己是无辜的。

所以D正确。

第64题：
The police were polite, too. because ______.
A.they didn't think the man was a thief
B.the man was old and very rich
C.they were not sure whether the man was the thief they wanted
D.they doubted that the man was responsible for a number of recent robberies
参考答案：C
答案解析：
推理题。

从警察一开始就向他解释有关情况并要求他做笔迹鉴定可以推出警察并不确定他就是抢劫犯，所以对他仍然很礼貌。

所以C正确。

第65题：
Which of the following is suggested in the passage?
A.Though the man had some trouble, he got the necklace without paying cash.
B.Nobody noticed the man take the necklace with him.

When a 10-year-old boy gets a fast dam degree in mathematics or an 8-year-old child plays chess like a grand master, they are considered as geniuses. Where does the quality of genius come from? Is it all in the genes (基因) or can any child be turned into a genius? And if parents do have a child who might become a genius in the future, what should they do? In this 30-minute film, John Walt, the professor at School of Medicine, New York University will help you discover the answer.

Science/Health
Is it possible to beat high blood pressure without drugs? The answer is "yes", according to the researchers at Tom Smith and three other medical centers. After a study of 800 persons with high blood pressure, they found that after 6 months, those devoted to weight loss—exercise and eating a low-salt, low-fat food—lost about 13 pounds and became fitter. Plus, 35% of them dropped into the "normal" category (范畴). This week, Dr. John White will tell you how these people reduce their blood pressure to a level similar to what's been achieved with Hypertension drugs.

Japan has a problem many other countries would envy—its workforce works too hard. Curing Japanese workers of disease "workaholism" is proving a difficult job, partly because many of them like work better than anybody else, experts say.
Last month, the Japanese government passed a law for a 40-hour working week, down from 48 hours, to let people spend time away from the office or factory. But it could be many years before average work hours fall to the new level.
In 1985, Japanese workers worked an average of 2 168 hours a year. But people in Britain worked 1 952 hours, the United States 1 924, West Germany 1 965 and France 1 643. Many Japanese workers work long hours not only because of devotion and pleasure of the job, but also because of fear and inefficiency (无效，不称职).
Many people feel that if they raked week off, they will lose touch with the business and fall behind other people. So they would rather stay at their desks. It is also considered bad form in many offices to leave before the boss. So workers will sit at their desks pretending to be busy until their boss finally puts on his jacket and heads out the door.

If you're relying on Grandma to help with child care, it's time to reconsider. A new study of more than 54 000 women found that those who watched their grandkids 9 hours a week or more were 55% more likely to have a heart attack. These women may have less time to take care of their own health, says lead author Sunmin Lee, ScD, of the Harvard School of Public Health. Younger kids may pose more risk because they need more care.
"However willing your mom might seem, it's up to you to figure out how much she can really handle," says Meredith Minkler, DrPH, a public-health professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and an expert on grandparents as caregivers. "It's not just about physical health. Older adults need time to connect with people of their own age. Social isolation is a major risk factor for illness." If your mom helps out, make sure she has breaks during the day, as well as "vacations" at regular intervals.
第78题：
The writer of the text suggests that ______.
A.grandparents take care of younger children。
