发现大多已经停止了客运服务。32．选B　through意为“穿过”，表示我在人群中艰难地穿行。33．选A　operate意为“工作，运转”，表示我终于发现有一条地铁线还在工作中。34．选D　board意为“上(船、车、飞机等)”，表示等着乘坐地铁的人很多。35．选D　platform意为“站台，月台”，表示因为人多，我甚至都不能沿台阶走到站台上等待。36．选C　reach意为“到达”，表示火车终于到了我要下车的站。37．选A　当我最后终于到达办公室时，我浑身湿透了。38．选B　exhaustedanddiscouraged是两个并列的形容词作伴随状语，表示又疲惫又沮丧。39．选B　when在此处是并列连词，常用于beabouttodosth.when...句型中，意为“正要做某事，这时……”。40．选D　eventually意为“最后，终于”。hardly意为“几乎不”；casually意为“偶然地，随便地”；absolutely意为“绝对地”。41．选A　devotion意为“忠诚，献身”，表示雇员们表现出忠于职守的良好品质。42．选C　brief意为“简洁的，简短的”，与前文出现的short相对应。n43．选B　appreciation意为“感激，感谢”，表示只言片语的感谢就能产生很大的作用。44．选A　根据上文内容可知，作者在上班的路上颇费周折，遇到很多麻烦。45．选D　refresh意为“使精神振作”，表示我在看完电子邮件后，不再感到疲惫和沮丧，精神焕发，并且面带笑容。Ⅴ.语篇解读：生活在亚马孙丛林中的麝雉在学会飞之前就会游泳了。它头上长有美丽的羽冠，喙很硬。麝雉栖息于河边的森林中，擅长游泳，常常在水面上方的树枝上筑巢。雏鸟翅膀上长有爪子(长大后爪子消失)，能用爪子和喙攀登树木，与成鸟一样也会游泳。46．选D　主旨大意题。全文介绍了麝雉的外形和生活习性，故答案为D。47．选B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“hasclaws(爪)onitswingswhenyoung”和第三段中的“Whentheyounghoatzinshavelearnedtofly，theylosetheirclaws”可知，麝雉幼鸟与成鸟不同的是幼鸟翅膀上长有爪子。答案为B。48．选A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Usingthesefourclaws，togetherwiththebeak(喙)，theycanclimbaboutinthebushes，lookingverymuchlikeprimitivebirdsmusthavedone”可知，原始的鸟可能使用爪子攀爬。答案为A。49．选D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“butinApril，whentherainyseasonbegins，theycollecttogetherinsmallerlivingunitsoftwotosevenbirdsforproducingpurposes”可知，它们在雨季聚在一起是为了繁殖后代。答案为D。语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。一群蜜蜂像乌云一般追逐着安迪，他想尽了各种办法，最终无奈的他躲进水中以求自保。50．选D　细节理解题。由第一段内容尤其是第二句可知答案。51．选D　细节理解题。A项与第二段最后一句的前半句吻合；B项与第二段的第三句吻合；C项与第二段最后一句的后半句吻合。故D项与文章最后他成功避开蜂群这一事实不符。52．选B　细节理解题。根据第五段第二句可知答案。53．选D　推理判断题。A项“不劳无获”；B项“一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井绳”；C项“有志者事竟成”；D项“急中生智”。根据文章意思：安迪被蜜蜂追着到处跑，情急之下，跳入水中。故“急中生智”与文意吻合。54．选B　细节理解题。文章的第三段中“Overtimeitcanalsobreakdownintothesoilwithoutgivingoutanyharmfulchemicals.”我们可以找到答案。55．选A　推理判断题。根据第三段我们知道科学家发明了一种可以随意改变形状的新材料，用它作为手机外壳，只有等它形成了硝酸盐，才能使sunflower生长。但是只有当手机扔掉(throwaway)后，而不是坏了(breaksndown)后，这种外壳才给种子提供营养、供其生长。故选A。56．选B　细节理解题。从倒数第三段中知道由于手机发展很快，人们不断地更新手机，给环境带来了污染，迫使科学家们就设法寻找到手机材料能分解的办法。57．选D　推理判断题。从第五段中的“Maybewecouldputrosesinnexttime”可得到答案。58．选A　推理判断题。从第四段的“Althoughmostpeopledonotshoot，theyseemtoforgiveshootingforsportbecausetheyknowlittleornothingaboutit”一句可以推断出人们似乎不反对打猎的原因是他们的愚昧无知。59．选C　词义猜测题。从短文的最后一段的“Thegunnersliketodescribewhattheydoascharacterbuilding，butweknowthattowoundananimalandwatchitgothroughtheagonyofdyingcanmakenobodyhappy”这句话可以猜出该单词的意思是“痛苦”。指动物受伤后会十分痛苦地慢慢死去。60．选B　主旨大意题。全文自始至终表明了作者对人们的打猎行为进行了批判。体现出作者对野生动物的生存担忧。
