I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting, I looked1 to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. Then I saw a man sitting at a corner table near the door keeping looking in my direction (方向), as if he knew me. I certainly didn’t know him, for I never forgot a2 . The man had a newspaper__3 in front of him. But I could see that he was keeping an4 on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was5 puzzled (迷惑) by the familiar (熟悉) way that the waiter and I called each other. He became even more puzzled as6 went on. He could see that I was well7 in the restaurant. At last he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again,8 for his meal and left.
When I had finished, I called the owner of the restaurant over and asked him9 the man had wanted. The owner told me he was a detective(偵探). “Really?” I was10 . “He was certainly11 in me.

這篇短文介紹了格陵蘭島和冰島的地理環(huán)境和氣候特征。

1.C。格陵蘭島位于歐洲北部。這需要有一定的地理常識(shí)，下文并無(wú)提示。
2.B。
3.A。如果你只從字面上看，認(rèn)為Greenland是綠色的，而 Iceland被許多冰所覆蓋，那么你就想錯(cuò)了。根據(jù)下文可知它們的地理特征并不像它們的名字所描述的那樣。
4.B。There must be more people…表示肯定猜測(cè)，而如果直接用There are more people則太絕對(duì)化了。
5.D。根據(jù)下文得知格陵蘭島大部分地區(qū)被冰所覆蓋，所以是白色的。
6.D。格陵蘭島的冰比世界最高的樓高。故選high的比較級(jí) higher。
7.C。What about Iceland? 意為“冰島(的地理環(huán)境和氣候)又怎樣呢?”。

答案簡(jiǎn)析
1. C。這是總領(lǐng)本文的一句話，就是如何能夠?qū)W的更好。另外根據(jù)and后面的more effective可知這里應(yīng)選與之并列的比較級(jí)better，而不是原級(jí)well。
2. C。for a long time 表示很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間，a不能省略。故只能選for long hours。
3. A。help a lot 這里指學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間長(zhǎng)并不會(huì)對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)結(jié)果有很大的幫助，也就是并不起決定作用。
4. A。對(duì)于一個(gè)學(xué)生來(lái)講，不僅需要足夠的睡眠、食物、休息， 還需要足夠的身體鍛煉。故選exercise。文章的倒數(shù)第二句有提示。
5. C。上面兩句話都是對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)有益的一些事情。
6. D。“return to” 這里指返回到……， 也就是從上述的活動(dòng)中返回到學(xué)習(xí)中。
7. B。表示并列。
8. A。首先根據(jù)從句是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)可排除C、D兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)，再根據(jù)文意，心理學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)，可知選A。
9. C。“take sth as an example” 為固定詞組，意為“以……為例”。
10. D。stay the same 表示“維持原樣”， 也就是沒(méi)有任何進(jìn)步了。
11. C。根據(jù)第10題， 因?yàn)閷W(xué)習(xí)停滯不前，所以你就會(huì)覺(jué)得沒(méi)學(xué)到什么東西。故選nothing。
12. C。mustn’t表示禁止，語(yǔ)氣最為強(qiáng)烈。needn’t表示沒(méi)必要。couldn’t和may not均表示猜測(cè)。
13. B。take another big jump 表示有大的飛躍或進(jìn)展。
14. D。表示學(xué)習(xí)也會(huì)變得生動(dòng)有趣。
15.A。learn slowly意為“慢慢學(xué)”，也就是說(shuō)不要急于求成，應(yīng)循序漸進(jìn)。

答案簡(jiǎn)析
1.A。因?yàn)橄挛臄⑹龅氖秋w機(jī)上發(fā)生的事情。by air=by plane。
2.C。喜歡坐在窗子“旁邊”。
3.B。表示結(jié)果，與上句的look for(表動(dòng)作)相呼應(yīng)。
4.B。從句子結(jié)構(gòu)看，此空該填非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞形式。seat是及物動(dòng)詞，
意思是“使某人就坐”，它與a young man是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，所以用seated，表示狀態(tài);而sit是不及物動(dòng)詞，它與a young man是主謂關(guān)系，要用sitting，表示動(dòng)作。
5.C。不能選A，因?yàn)閍rrive為不及物動(dòng)詞;由下文可知，他根本沒(méi)坐下來(lái)，所以也不能選B;若選D，則與上句的he went towards it相矛盾。
6.D。in large letters是固定說(shuō)法，意為“用大寫(xiě)字母”。
7.B。這里該用現(xiàn)在分詞表示伴隨動(dòng)作。say強(qiáng)調(diào)“說(shuō)”的內(nèi)容，而speak則指“說(shuō)”的動(dòng)作，故不選D。
8.D。which引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，指代先行詞something particularly heavy。
9.A。another表泛指“另一個(gè)”。
10.C。此處不定式to sit用作定語(yǔ)，應(yīng)與被修飾的名詞seat構(gòu)成動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，而sit卻是不及物動(dòng)詞，必須加上介詞on。
11.B。try只表示設(shè)法去做某事，而不表示是否做成;manage卻表示設(shè)法做成了某事。由本句末的but they also read the notice and went on得知，不選C。
12.B。隨著情節(jié)的發(fā)展，飛機(jī)上的人越來(lái)越多，快要“滿了”，所以用full。
13.B。enter作“進(jìn)入”講時(shí)，一般不與into連用，故不選C。
14.A。quickly表示“立刻行動(dòng)，毫不遲延”用于此處符合the man 的心境，也大大地增強(qiáng)了文章的幽默感。
15.C。take ---off---是固定搭配，意為“把……從……取下”。

這篇短文講述了作者是如何計(jì)劃一個(gè)短暫的假期，去山里天氣太冷，而且假期又短，所以她決定去附近的海邊度假。
答案簡(jiǎn)析
A。根據(jù)下文的I can work at home all the rest of the time 可判斷這里是at home。意思是“我家里有許多事要做”。
C。a good chance to do it 這里的to do it是不定式做后置定語(yǔ)
B。“度假”應(yīng)用動(dòng)詞spend。
C。go south/north/west/east to somewhere意為朝著(東南西北)方向去某處。
B。everything there was beautiful 說(shuō)明那兒的一切都很美。
D。too…to…為固定結(jié)構(gòu)，意思是“太……而不……”。
A。因?yàn)閐ecide后面的賓語(yǔ)從句不缺任何成分，故用 that 來(lái)引導(dǎo)陳述句賓語(yǔ)從句。
B。
A。do want 表強(qiáng)調(diào)，意思是“我”真的很想去度假。整篇文章時(shí)態(tài)是以現(xiàn)在時(shí)為主，故wanted不可選，其它兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)無(wú)此用法。
D。along the seashore意思是“沿著海邊”。
C。在陽(yáng)光下應(yīng)該用in ，而不是under。
A。in和一段時(shí)間連用表示將來(lái)，而after只有和點(diǎn)時(shí)間連用可表示將來(lái)。
C。think over意思是“仔細(xì)考慮”。
C。根據(jù)后面的than可知這里應(yīng)用比較級(jí)better。
B。根據(jù)第一小節(jié)作者覺(jué)得這個(gè)時(shí)候去山里不合適，所以這里應(yīng)選mountains。

答案簡(jiǎn)析
C。本句如選invented或 produced，得用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，took off是“起飛”的意思，這里意指“它第一次飛行是在……”因此，用flew最為恰當(dāng)。
A。both…and …是固定短語(yǔ)，為“……兩者都”的意思。
B。根據(jù)文意，“兩個(gè)國(guó)家都有造超聲波飛機(jī)的夢(mèng)想”，而不是“談話”、“會(huì)議”、或“戰(zhàn)斗”。
A。work on sth.意為“致力于……”。
D。cost“耗資”。paid，wanted的主語(yǔ)應(yīng)是人，needed指根據(jù)計(jì)劃需要耗資等的數(shù)量，cost本身就表示花費(fèi)成本的數(shù)量。
B。voice意為“嗓音”;noise意為“噪音”;shout意為“大叫聲”;speed of sound意為“聲速”。
B。固定短語(yǔ)it takes sb. some time to do sth.
D。because 后面是一個(gè)名詞性詞組，所以用because of 意為“由于……的原因”。本句意為“由于英、美之間的五個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間差”。
A。根據(jù)上下文之間的聯(lián)系，意為“你坐協(xié)和式飛機(jī)從London到New York，有可能已經(jīng)到了New York，而還沒(méi)離開(kāi)London。(這是由于時(shí)差)。
C。catch the flight 意為“趕上某次航班”。
C。下文省略了“than in London”。
B。“每架飛機(jī)”，只有用each，其他都不對(duì)。
A。so far “到目前為止”，本句意為“到目前為止，已造出二十架飛機(jī)”
D。通過(guò)上下文可知，這兩個(gè)機(jī)場(chǎng)所擁有的協(xié)和式飛機(jī)最多。
C。本句的主語(yǔ)是they，而each只是同位語(yǔ)，所以不可用has，have一般不用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，所以不可選D。

答案解析
1. D。本句考查的是時(shí)態(tài)，該動(dòng)作發(fā)生在下文 said的前面，表“過(guò)去的過(guò)去”，因此用D，而C表示的是狀態(tài)。

5. C。包沒(méi)了，當(dāng)然會(huì)尋找(look for)。
