38、 trying to make sleeping at work moreacceptable 可知，naptivist 指“喜欢在工作期间小睡的人”。故选 B 项。3D推理判断题。根据第五段第二句可知，在天气炎热的西班牙，下午小睡一会儿是非常正常的事情， A 项中的 newly 与此不符。 文中未提及芬兰， 且芬兰不是天气炎热的国家，B 项错误。传统的工作文化是朝九晚五，下午不休息，C 项错误。由第五段最后一句可知，传统的朝九晚五的工作方式与人类自然的睡眠模式不符，即 siesta 与自然的睡眠模式相符，故 D 项正确。4D推理判断题。作者在第一段表明了自己喜欢睡觉，后面通过分析有些企业让员

39、工下午小睡一会儿的用意以及一些研究结果进一步告诉人们： 我们在工作期间小睡一会儿更能提高工作效率。故选 D 项。.七选五1 B根据设空后一句 In that year, the United States government gave a large piece of landto the state of California.可推知设空处要点明年份才能更好地衔接下文。D 项有年份，但说的是德国，不符合语境，故排除。故选 B 项。2C根据设空后一句 They are the tallest living things in the world and are not foundanywhe

40、re else on Earth.(它们是世界上最高的植物， 在地球上的其他任何地方都找不到)可知，设空处应是说明红杉多高。故选 C 项。3F设空前一句为 people couldnt agree on.，F 项中的 They also had different ideas 与之呼应，they 指代 people，设空后的 protected the animals, while still allowing some tourism 与F 项中的 whether to put human or animal needs 相对应，符合语境，故选 F 项。4 D根据设空后一句 Like the

41、 first California park, the Bavarian Forest National Park wascreated to protect mountains and trees.(像世界第一个国家公园一样， 巴伐利亚森林国家公园的建立也是为了保护山脉和树木)可知，此处应是介绍一个新的公园。故选 D 项。5A根据空前 In some places high up in the mountains, there are steps cut into therock.(在高山的某些地方，会有嵌入岩石的台阶)可知，A 项承接前句说明台阶的作用。故选A 项。.完形填空1C根据后面的

42、并列形容词 quiet 可知，此处表示作者喜欢独处和安静。故选 C。2A根据“The trip sounded good”可知，这里指作者报名这次旅行。故选 A。3C根据下文“Our local guide told us about the land and its culture.”可知，作者一行人在导游的带领下，到一个新地方了解当地的风景和文化。故选 C。4D根据“and kept on talking”可知，孩子们不停地说着话，是因为很兴奋。故选 D。5B这里指作者被这片空旷的土地的美丽震惊并且打动。故选 B。6A根据“kids and parents having a great t

43、ime”可知，孩子和父母玩得很开心，说明他们在尽情地享受。故选 A。7C根据下文叙述可知，作者他们到达了目的地。故选 C。8A根据下文 I didnt care about it.可知，房间小并不重要。故选 A。9B根据“Waterfalls, lakes, community visits, and a trip around Katherine Gorge wherewe_10_saw giant crocodiles！”可知，这里指接下来的九天都安排满了。故选 B。10C句意：我们甚至看到了巨大的鳄鱼！此处用 even(甚至)加强语气，突出作者兴奋、惊喜的情绪。故选 C。11D根据后句“

44、We awoke to a mess, everything in water.”一切都在水中可知，水管坏了。故选 D。12B根据上文作者对自己的描述可知，作者爱干净，所以说对于这种状况作者通常会抱怨。故选 B。13A根据上文作者对所到的地方的描述可知，这样的状况下脏是正常的。故选 A。14A根据上文可知，这样的状况下要保持干净是不可能的。故选 A。15D句意：尽管如此，我仍然感到一种多年未体验过的活力。可知应选 D 项。A.tested测试；B.stored 储存；C.valued 珍视；D.experienced 经历；体验。.语法填空1a考查冠词。child 是可数名词，且第一次在文章中

45、出现，表泛指，child 前的 good发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词 a 修饰，表示“一个”好孩子。2Unfortunately考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰整个句子，作状语。再根据句意可知，应填 Unfortunately。3confidence考查词性转换。my 是形容词性物主代词，修饰名词，故用 confidence。4shutting考查非谓语动词。shut 和句子主语 I 之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作状语。5puzzled考查词性转换。此处应用形容词作表语。修饰的是人，故用ed 结尾的形容词 puzzled。句意：父母和老师们都对我糟糕的表现迷惑不解。6depressed考查非谓语动词。由句子的主语 I 和该空前的逗号可知，应用 depress 的过去分词形式 depressed 在句子中作伴随状语。7of考查介词。此处表示“最珍贵的时刻之一”，故用 of。8had noticed考查动词的时态。notice 的动作发生在 said 之前，表示过去的过去，故用过去完成时。9hers考查代词。介词后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，且由空格前的“my hands”可知，此处用名词性物主代词 hers，表示她的手。10who考查定语从句的引导词。who 引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词 the headmaster。
