3、use your phoneDont talk too loudly内行的、专业的、 专门的打扰人Impolite cellphone users 由此,我们可以知道文章讲述的是关于“不礼貌的手机用户”的情况,而且这样的人“到处都有”,并向读者提出了使用手机不打扰别人的电话规则。不礼貌的手机用户第 16 空前,作者说 “在有手机信号存在的地方,就有不礼貌的手机用户。” 而在 第16空后,作者指出“那会不会就是你呢?”。此时,我们迷惑的就是“什么样的人是不礼貌的手机用户”或“什么样的行为才是不礼貌的手机用户的行为”。答案应该是 Gsoin such places 作者给出的第一条建议是“要知道在
4、哪里不要使用手机”。在第17空后,我们要注意这些词“so”、“in such places”. 由此,我们可以判断出,第17空应该明确指出了“有些地方不能或者不适合使用手机”的。 这样,我们选 C就没问题了。在公共场所抬高说话声打电话;(在)电话上在(电话的)另一端Make + it(形式宾语) + adj. (宾语补足语)+(for sb.) (动词不定式的逻辑主语) to do (真正宾语):使得某人做某事怎么样。这是作者提出的第二条建议:(打电话时)不要大声说话。后面的陈述中,我们知道作者建议在公共场所打电话,不要太大声了。大声说话,除了常常使得接电话的人难以理解你的意思,另一方面还会产
5、生什么不良影响呢? 这个我们自然知道,有人大声打电话,会干扰到周围的人。 这样,第18 空选 F 就合理了。Dont use your phone when having a meal with someone. If possible, turn it off.

(和别人吃饭时不要用手机)”可知,作者建议大家与人就餐时不要使用手机,承接下文:如果你必须要接打电话,就要选择离开餐桌一点,而且不要时间过长。所以,E选项“尽量不要在餐桌上打电话
8、” 与上下文连接紧密,切题。故19题 选E项一个封闭的空间里Put + sb. + 距离 + out of ones way : 某人置身于离某人远的地方that requiresyou to be focused.收发短信息编写信息定语从句: 修饰anything.

12、glish. = which has a vocabulary of just 850 words.第 36 空前面提到一种英语现象: 词汇量庞大,但有很多词汇的意义几乎是一样的。第 36 空后面,在第二段则提到英国作家 C. K. Ogden 提出一种新的关于英语词汇的想法 - 减少英语词汇量。 那么我们可以展开想象,第36 空应该是起承上启下的内容。既然好多词汇的意义都几乎一样,那它它们对我们有必要吗们对我们有必要吗? 正因为没什么必要正因为没什么必要,所以才有人提出了简化英语词汇的想法。,所以才有人提出了简化英语词汇的想法。因此,因此,36 36 空选空选 A A 。第 37 空前面提到
13、: 他把仅有850个词汇的英语项目( project ) 称之为“ Basic English “ , 在第37个空处,他要陈述什么内容呢? 他的想法是减少英语的词汇量,创办 ”基本英语”。 他这样做的理由是什么?必须要说清楚才有意义 。因此,。因此,37 37 空空选选 F F (因为他觉得这样英语会更有效率,更容易学)。Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation, rephrasing texts over and over until he was satisfied. The words he finally i
14、ncluded were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. _38_ Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators”-words like come, go, get, take, have, make, be, and do.

16、l was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English, and he encouraged the BBC to use it. _39_ Roosevelt, who expressed mild interest, joked that Churchills famous speech about offering his “blood, toil, tears, and sweat” to his country wouldnt have been so exciting if he “had bee

(丘吉尔也没有使用基本英语)”,另一个是:We dont necessarily need fewer words ( 我
20、们没有必要必须使用更少的词汇)。表达意思的时候,我们只要使用合适的词汇就可以了。那么,第40空的内容英国与后面的两层意思并列同等。 选项 C. Ogden himself didnt actually use Basic English.(奥格登并没有真正使用基本英语)。 这样相似的句式,相同的内容。 因此,选项 C 符合题意。_4_ Churchill didnt use it either.

25、性的情况,我们要思考一个问题:如何才能让我们乐观地开始新的一天呢? 在下文,作者会给出一些好的建议。第二段, 36 空是作者给出的第一条建议。其后面的内容是关于提前做好一天的规划,提高做事效率,减少沮丧感,处理好重要的问题。综合这些,选项 A (Plan your day the night before) 符合这条建议 的内容Try 15 minutes of meditation(沉思). Some might be afraid that a meditation session early in the morning could just put you back to sleep.

27、意力深刻的思想Try 15 minutes of meditation这个段落里,作者提到有些人担心起床气沉思会出现再一次睡着的情况。实际上,作者并不这样认为,相反,他认为:起床前的真正沉思是有很多好处的。具体有(1)刺激大脑,(2)_, (3) 集中注意力,(4)易于接受积极的能量。选项 E ( It allows you to clear distractions from your mind )的意思和句式都符合表达的内容。It 指代 meditation 这件事, clear 与后面的 center and be 则保持了形式上的并列。Begin with inspiration re
