【分析】
本文是一篇说明文，很多人有好点子，但是不知道如何把好点子变成伟大的发明，文章中对此提出了几点建议。

【16题详解】
根据本段第一句可知很多人有很棒的想法认为自己的想法会成为伟大的发明，但是不知道该如何去做。

横线句要把上下文串联起来，F项“Here are some steps that you can take下面是你可以采取的步骤”承上启下，把本段第一句和文章下面的内容连接在一起。

【17题详解】
本段告诉我们首先要对自己的发明项目进行研究，查看是否已经有人已经发明出类似的物品。

如果没有，查一下相关的专利情况。

如果没有类似的专利被申请，那么你就可以继续做下一步工作。

故B项“If not，go to the next step”符合上下文语境。

【18题详解】
根据横线前句One agency that is very reputable （声誉好的） is "Lambert in Minnesota"可知"Lambert in Minnesota"是一家声誉非常好的代理机构。

本句应该介绍这一结构的良好服务，故G项“They offer free advice for good ideas他们会为好点子提供免费服务”与之对应。

【19题详解】
横线前句可知你和代理机构联系好了以后，你要带着模型以及对这个好点子的叙述。

最好是把你的想法写下来，然后与对方交流。

故E项“Write down exactly about your invention．”与上下文语境一致。

【20题详解】
横线前句告诉我们如果你的发明被某一公司购买，那么你只要等待发明给你带来的好处即可。

虽然等待的时间可能会比较长，但这样的等待是值得的。

故A项“It may take a year or two” 符合上下文语境。

【点睛】本文设空在段尾。

我们可以从以下七点考虑：
(1)空白前的一句或两句是重点语句，重点阅读以锁定关键词。

(2)通常是结论、概括性语句。

注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。

(3)与前文是转折或对比关系。

此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词，同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。

(4)与前文是并列或排比关系。

在这种情况下，通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节，因此根据段落一致性原则，在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词，通常在选项中会出现表示并列
/递进关系的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构，或出现同义词等其他信号线索。

前面的一句与正确答案的第一句是紧密相连的。

要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句，通常会找到关键的线索词句。

(5)所选答案是引出下一段的内容。

如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。

认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。

(6)如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。

通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。

三、阅读理解
19. The way we do things round here
Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department th at started, “Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me. I thought he was saying “We’re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American Eng lish “quite” sometimes means “very”, while in British English it means “fairly”.
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don’t just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures. Some of these differences may be only on the surface--- dress, food and hours of work--- while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate (气候), while getting on with business.
Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality (准时). If you invite people to a party at 7 o’clock your guests will considerate it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.
50. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought _____.
A. the American bank didn’t think much of him
B. the American bank might hire another person
C. it’s difficult to get used to American culture
D. it’s easy to misunderstand Americans
51. The word “highlights” in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A. encourages
B. helps to narrow
C. increases
D. draws attention to
52. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?
A. Ask the native people for help.
B. Understand and accept them.
C. Do things in our own way.
D. Do in-depth research.
53. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are ______.
A. Italians
B. Germans
C. Greeks
D. the British
参考答案：
ADBB
略。
