29、 the hotel receptionist_ that guests are registered correctly.（分数：2.00）A.has made sureB.made sureC.must make sureD.make sure 解析：在“It is important that”虚拟语气结构中，that 从句中 should 可省略。因此正确答案为D。3._ in an atmosphere of simple living was what her parents wished for.（分数：2.00）A.The girl was educatedB.The girl

30、 educatedC.The girls being educated D.The girl to be educated解析：本题空格处是说这个女孩受到在简朴的环境中生活的教育。从成分判断，空格处应充当句子的主语，所以 C 项分词短语可作主语，the girl 作逻辑主语。因此 C 项为正确答案。4.It is essential that these application forms _ back as early as possible.（分数：2.00）A.must be sentB.will be sentC.are sentD.be sent 解析：本题是说这些申请表有必要尽早寄

32、，B 项short 意为“短的”，C 项 seldom 意为“很少”，都与题意不符。因此只有 D 项为正确答案。6.They are going to have the serviceman _ an electric fan in the office tomorrow.（分数：2.00）A.install B.to installC.to be installedD.installed解析：“have sb.do sth”为一固定结构。因此 A 项为正确答案。7.In previous times, when fresh meat was in short_, pigeons were k

36、children, in the authors opinion, is_.（分数：2.00）A.a moral dutyB.a thankless jobC.a rewarding task D.a source of inevitable pain解析：根据文章第四段开头读者似乎会认为作者的意图是 B“出力不讨好，毫无回报的事”，而实际上，作者真实想法应在 But 之后的句中体现。12.To understand what true happiness is one must_.（分数：2.00）A.have as much fun as possible during ones life

37、timeB.make every effort to liberate oneself from painC.put up with pain under all circumstancesD.be able to distinguish happiness from fun 解析：依据文章第一段第一至二行再依据文章最后一段最后一句可以看出要理解真正的幸福是什么就必须把 fun 和 happiness 区分开来。因为两者绝不等同。C 项应该是回答“怎样才能获得真正的幸福?”这一问题。13.According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage

38、chiefly because_.（分数：2.00）A.he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities B.he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC.he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD.he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement解析：参见文章第三段第一至二行。14.From the last paragra

B.One must know how to attain

40、happiness.C.It is important to make commitments.D.It is pain that leads to happiness.解析：作者的意图出现在第一段第三行。16.Which of the following is NOT a method of protecting ones house from a hurricane?_.（分数：2.00）A.taking out heavy thingsB.moving in light-weight furnitureC.equipping the house with stones D.coverin

41、g windows解析：在飓风到来时的预防措施从原文第三段第六行“They should also try to hurricane- proof their houses by bringing in light-weight furniture and other items from outside and covering windows”可知，包括将轻的家具和物品带入房内、盖住窗户。这两项措施分别是选项的 B 和 O，但其中也暗含了选项 A。因为将轻的物品放入房内也就意味着将重的物品带出房间，所以 A 也符合。只有 C 原文中根本未提及。17.The low-lying areas

42、refer to those regions that_.（分数：2.00）A.close to the ground level B.one-storey flatC.flat housesD.near to the lowest level of hurricane解析：B、C 两项是指一层平房，主要是强调房子低矮，而“low-lying areas” 主要是指地势低平的地区，因此 A 项正确。18.The eye of the hurricane is_.（分数：2.00）A.the powerful center of the stormB.the part that determin

43、es its directionC.the relatively calm center of the storm D.the center of low pressure解析：根据第三段倒数第二句话“The eye is a region of relative calm and clear skies in the center of the hurricane”。可知，风眼是在比较平静而天气晴朗的飓风中心地区。因此 C 项正确。19.Which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.A storm surge is a dramat

45、heir houses because of the storm surge，which is a large rush of water that may come ashore with the storm”可知 storm surge 是指水而不是风。B 项不正确，根据最后一段开头的描述，飓风可能登陆时先在个较大的可能范围内进行 hurricane watch，然后在可能着陆点 hurricane warning，可以看出 hurricane warning 比 hurricane watch 更严重。根据第三段最后一句“People often lose their lives by

46、leaving shelter when the eye has arrived，only to be caught it tremendous winds again when the eye has passed”，当风眼来临时人们如果走出房间会被风眼过去后的大风吹死，所以说在风眼来临时走出房间是不安全的，D 项也不正确。虽然文章中没有直接说，但通过排除法可以知道只有 C 项是正确的。20.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?_.（分数：2.00）A.How to Avoid Hurricane D

47、amageB.Forecasting HurricanesC.The dangerous Hurricane D.Atlantic Storms解析：本文围绕飓风的形成、飓风的预报、面对飓风的防范措施、飓风的消亡这几方面进行阐述，从总体来看 A、B、D 项都只涉及文章的一个方面，只有 C 项全面概括了文章的内容，因为文章主要是讲危险的飓风的。因此正确答案为 C。21.Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?（分数：2.00）A.Because indoor cleanness was not emphasized.B.Because en
