第19题【单选题】
The car honked at me until I fastened my seat belt.

C、汽车在我系上安全带之前发出嘟嘟的声音。

D、汽车发出嘟嘟的声音，我才系上了安全带。

until在否定句中表示的意思是“直到…才”；在肯定句中等于before；本句的意思是：汽车一直嘟嘟地响，直到我系上安全带才停下来。

翻译的时候要体现连词until表示的意思，所以比较恰当的用法应该是B项。

A项虽然有“直到”的意思，但是表达方式不符合汉语习惯，意思模糊不清。

英语是先评论，或先表态，然后再说有关的事情或情况。

汉语则相反，评论或表态性的话往往是放在句子的后面。

第35题【单选题】
In times of economic crisis, Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. But this won’t necessarily represent an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families,
and the current crisis will probably do the same.We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses. By 1932, when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929. But this doesn’t mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn’t afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse could manage alone.In the Great Depression many unhappy couples chose to stick together because_____.
A、starting a new family would be hard
B、they wanted to better protect their kids
C、living separately would be too costly
D、they expected things would turn better
【正确答案】C
【答案解析】答案选C。

推理判断题。

由题干中的和unhappy couples定位到文章第2段最后两句。

随着收入下降和工作的不稳定，不幸福的家庭承担不起离婚的费用。

他们担心任何一方都无法独自生活。

由此可见，在大萧条时期，即使不幸福的家庭也会选择共同生活，因为离婚的费用和独自生活的成本太高了，故答案为C。

第36题【单选题】
Many businessmen attended the Boao Forum (博鳌论坛)because they knew what ________ from the forum.

C、got
D、getting
【正确答案】A

题中knew what to get相当于knew what they would get。

第37题【单选题】

【正确答案】A
【答案解析】[terminate] 使终止；使结束；解雇；end 结束，终止；终结。

第38题【单选题】
One reason is economic. In a traditional agricultural economy, large families are helpful. Having more children means having more workers in the fields and someone to take care of the parents in old age. In an industrial economy, the situation is different. Many children do not help a family; instead, they are an expense. Thus, industrialization has generally brought down the birth rate. This was the case in Italy, which was industrialized quite recently and rapidly. In the early part of the twentieth century, Italy was a poor, largely agricultural country with a high birth rate. After World WarⅡ, Italy's economy was rapidly modernized and industrialized. By the end of the century, the birth rate had dropped to 1.3 children per woman, the world's lowest.In a traditional agricultural economy, a large family_______.
A、can be an advantage
B、may limit income
C、isn’t necessary
D、is expensive
【正确答案】A
【答案解析】答案选A。

对照本段In a traditional agricultural economy, large families are helpful.大的家庭是有帮助的，选项中最接近意思的是A，成为一个优势，答案是A。

第40题【单选题】
I’d better not catch ______ that again!
A、your doing
B、you doing
C、you to do
D、you being doing
【正确答案】B
【答案解析】如同感观动词一样，下面这些动词后只能跟代词的宾格或名词的通格（如him，Mary），其后是“动词ing”：start，keep，stop，catch，find，leave，如：When are you going to start him working for us?

A、these
B、ones
C、the ones
D、the others

第44题【单选题】

第47题【单选题】
After_____ seemed like hours he came out with a bitter smile.
A、which
B、it
C、what
D、that
【正确答案】C
【答案解析】选项A，认为介词后应接关系代词which（但是，若填关系代词，其前没有先行词）；B或D也不能选择，因为介词后可接what引导的宾语从句，但通常不能跟that 引导的宾语从句或没有引导词的从句。

另一方面，引导名词性从句的that也不能充当句子成分(句中的seemed缺主语)。

选C，what引导的是宾语从句，用做介词after的宾语，其中的what可理解为some time that。

第48题【单选题】
The opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is
possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can go to such places as much as you wish. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. You may want to find out where a particular section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. But when he has led you there, the assistant should leave politely and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book. An assistant in a bookshop helps you ______.
A、on your entering the shop
B、just before you finish reading
C、only when you want to find out where a particular section is
D、when you are reading
【正确答案】C

第61题【单选题】
This is now changing. According to the OECD report, some 75% of scholarly journals are now online. Entirely new business models are emerging; three main institutional subscribers pay for access to a collection of online journal titles through site-licensing agreements. There is open-access publishing, typically supported by asking the author （or his employer）to pay for the paper to be published. Finally, there are open-access archives, where organizations such as universities or international laboratories support institutional repositories. Other
models exist that are hybrids of these three, such as delayed open-access, where journals allow only subscribers to read a paper for the first six months, before making it freely available to everyone who wishes to see it. All this could change the traditional form of the peer-review process, at least for the publication of papers.With the open-access publishing model, the author of a paper is required to_____.
A、cover the cost of its publication
B、subscribe to the journal publishing it
C、allow other online journals to use it freely
D、complete the peer-review before submission
【正确答案】A
【答案解析】答案选A。
