考查副詞辨析。Otherwise否則；Anyway不管怎樣；Moreover而且；However然而。根據(jù)“thanksforyour

invitation.”可知，雖然自己不能參加對(duì)方的生日聚會(huì)，但是不管怎樣，還是要感謝對(duì)方的邀請(qǐng)，故選B。

【詳解】句意：一些人說(shuō)網(wǎng)絡(luò)讓我們更緊密，而另一些人認(rèn)為它帶來(lái)更多的孤獨(dú)。

考查比較級(jí)。close緊密的；closely接近地。根據(jù)"more”可知，此處應(yīng)用比較級(jí)；結(jié)合“bringsus”可知，此

處是bring...closer”使...關(guān)系更緊密”。故選C。

考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)。cutin插嘴，打斷；cutoff切除；cutout裁剪；cutdown削減。根據(jù)句意，這里想表達(dá)“很

抱歉打斷你”這一含義，cutin“插嘴”符合句意。故選A。

考查一般將來(lái)時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。根據(jù)"betweenJuly26andAugust11”可知，是將來(lái)的動(dòng)作，主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)是邏輯

上的動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，所以用一般將來(lái)時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。故選D。

7.一Linda,yournewhatlooksreallyniceonyou.Howlongit?

—Oh,thanks.Ijustboughtitlastweek.

A.haveyouboughtB.haveyouhadC.didyoubuyD.didyouhave

【答案】B

【詳解】句意：——琳達(dá)，你的新帽子戴在你頭上看起來(lái)真好看。你買了多久了？——哦，謝謝。我上周

剛買的。

考查時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)"Howlong”可知，此處應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)表示“你買了帽子多久了”，現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的結(jié)構(gòu)為

“have/has+動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞”，故排除C項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)；A項(xiàng)為現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，但buy是短暫性動(dòng)詞，不能與how

long連用，故排除A項(xiàng)；B項(xiàng)是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，have是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞，與howlong連用。故選B。

帶她的午餐至U食堂去o根據(jù)"I'vebeenwaitingforyouattheschooldininghallfor20minutes——whereareyou?

They511stopofferingfoodsoonand1wanttomakesurewehavelunch!”可知，短信內(nèi)容的意思是“我在學(xué)校食

堂等了你20分鐘了，你在哪兒？他們很快就不提供食物了，我想確保我們能吃到午餐！"，所以茱莉亞想

讓基拉趕緊去食堂吃午飯。故選C。

關(guān)鍵詞然后點(diǎn)擊“搜索”鍵。

考查情景交際。Notatall一點(diǎn)也不；Nevermind沒(méi)關(guān)系；Don'tworry別擔(dān)心。Nothanks不，謝謝。由

“Justenterkeywordsandclickonthe"Search"icon.”可知提供了幫助，所以表示并不介意。故選A。

【答案】27.C28.C29.B30.A

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇記敘文。20世紀(jì)30年代美國(guó)大平原遭遇嚴(yán)重干旱，因過(guò)度耕作和砍伐樹(shù)木導(dǎo)致土壤

流失，造成沙塵暴，這是美國(guó)史上最嚴(yán)重的自然災(zāi)害。

[27題詳解】

推理判斷題。文章主要講述了美國(guó)大平原地區(qū)的人們因過(guò)度耕作和砍伐導(dǎo)致土壤流失，進(jìn)而形成沙塵暴的

環(huán)境問(wèn)題。因此，這篇文章很可能來(lái)自一份環(huán)境報(bào)告，而非新聞報(bào)道、旅游指南或生物學(xué)雜志。故選C。

【28題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后的“andcuttingdownmostofthetrees”可知,大平原上的大部分樹(shù)木被砍伐

（c）；根據(jù)第二段第二句中的"Thiswasthebeginningofaterribledrought”以及第三句中的"Thebeautiful

wheatfieldsdriedup”可知，發(fā)生了可怕的干旱，而且田地干涸了（b）；根據(jù)第二段第三句的后半句"andthe

cropsdied”以及第四句"Thentherewerenoplantstokeepthesoilinplace.”可知，接著莊稼死亡，沒(méi)有植物可

以固定土壤（a）；根據(jù)第三段中的"Thenthewindstartedtoblow."以及"thewindgatheredupthesoilintohuge

blackclouds”可知，風(fēng)吹起土壤，聚集成巨大的黑云（d）o因此，塵暴形成的順序是c-b-a-d。故選C。

[29題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的"causingmanypeopletogetsick,,tcandfarmanimalsdiedwithoutfbod”以及"The

GreatPlainsbecameknownastheDustBowl.“可知，在文章中提到，沙塵暴使得人們生?。ˋ項(xiàng)），動(dòng)物因

為沒(méi)有食物而死亡（C項(xiàng)），大平原變成了塵暴區(qū)（D項(xiàng)），但并未提到田地受到污染。故選B。

【30題詳解】

觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。文章中提到"ThiswastheworstnaturaldisasterevertohittheUnitedStates”,這句話是對(duì)塵暴事

件的評(píng)價(jià)和看法，因此A選項(xiàng)“這是最嚴(yán)重的自然災(zāi)害”是文章中的一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)。B、C、D三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是對(duì)

塵暴現(xiàn)象的描述，而非觀點(diǎn)。故選A。

[31題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)"Wehadtosavemoneyoneverything.Mytwosistersmadetheirowndresses.AndifIlostmy

buttonsortoreaholeinmytrousers,mymotherwouldbeveryangry.”可知，作者的兩個(gè)姐姐自己做裙子；媽

媽會(huì)因?yàn)榧~扣掉了或者褲子破了一個(gè)洞而生氣。所以作者是通過(guò)舉例子的方式來(lái)表明他們每件事情上都在

省錢。故選B。

【32題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)"WhenIbecamerich,IshallreturntoHavre."和"OncethatgoodJulesreturns,ourlifewillbe

different.”可知，叔叔在信中說(shuō)他變有錢了就會(huì)回到Havre,媽媽也希望叔叔回來(lái)后他們的生活會(huì)有所不

同，所以作者全家期望叔叔回家是因?yàn)樗麄兿Ｍ迨鍘е腻X回來(lái)改善生活。故選D。

【33題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)"WhenIbecamerich,IshallreturntoHavre.Ihopethatitwillnotbetoolongandthatwe
