28、，后来发明了制造价格低的玻璃，因此出现了一次性使用的瓶子。但并不是说便宜的空瓶是免费的，商家把可乐的价格上涨一些，空瓶也就不用退还了。无论是商家还是消费者都愿意这样做。第三段说明了这样做的结果。商家愿意这样做是因为可以多赚钱；消费者愿意这样做是因为可以免去退空瓶的麻烦。他们接受这种做法是有原因的，因此是受某种利益的驱使。(2).The underlined word “cover“ can mean lid.

I am going to put on my work gloves and work. I am going to put on my walking shoes and walk.

31、I am going to put on my fighting gloves and fight. I am going to kill Charlie Brown.Wait a minute! Dont think I have flipped!

40、is real problem D.highly trained medical experts解析：“No one seemed to realize that she was partially deaf and blind.”似乎没有人意识到她只是半聋半瞎的人。由此推断护理院的护理员很有可能没有意识到这位夫人并不是完全聋了，也并没有完全失明。选项 A是不正确的；因为文中没有提及护理员的工作量，因此也就无法推断他们是否工作过度。选项 B不正确；因为文中提到“She required complete physical care, even feeding，”她得到了全方位的照料，甚至喂饭。

41、所以，不能说护理员对病人“漠不关心”。选项 D也是不正确；如果护理员是受过严格训练的医学专家的话，他们应该能像那位年轻的医生那样发现这位夫人的真正问题，即她还有一定的听觉和视觉。(2).It can be reasonably inferred from this paragraph that _.（分数：2.00）A.a persons state of health affects his outlook on life B.nursing homes are staffed with unqualified attendantsC.an elderly person should be

42、cared for by his familyD.state governments should supervise nursing homes closely解析：选项 A的大意是：一个人的健康状况会影响他对生活的看法。这个观点可以从文章的内容得到肯定。在文章的开始，这位夫人非常忧郁，对什么都不感兴趣，甚至连生活都不能自理。但是，当她做了白内障摘除手术之后，立刻变得非常独立，脸上露出了笑容，还主动与别人聊天，甚至帮助其他的病人。由此看出，她的身体状况得到了改善，她对生活的态度也发生了变化。选项 B不正确；根据文中所述，护理员对病人的日常起居的照顾是很尽职的。因此，不能说护理院里尽是些不称职

43、的护理员。选项 C和 D不是文中所涉及的内容。(3).Evidence suggests that the young doctor was _.（分数：2.00）A.unusualB.alert C.independentD.casual解析：从文中可知，那位年轻的医生比较警觉。是他发现这位夫人患有白内障，也是他发现这位夫人并没有完全丧失听力。选项 A和 C不正确；文中没有提及那位医生不一般或冷漠。选项 D不正确；如果那位医生很随便又漫不经心的话，他不可能检查出这位夫人的疾病。(4).Which of the following is true to show that Mrs. Harri

44、s was discouraged and depressed?（分数：2.00）A.She was in the nursing home.B.It seems that she was partially deaf and blind.C.She had no interests to participate any activities. D.She was able to help other patients.解析：根据这个夫人手术前后的状况对比，可以推断，她整日什么都不做，什么活动也不参加，甚至生活不能自理，都是由于情绪的低落、沮丧、对生活失去信心所致。选项 A、B 和 C都是不正

45、确的。这些都是事实，但不能说明她情绪低落。No single adjective is adequate to describe the size of the blue whale, and few people realize how it compares with other mammals. By any standard, it is the largest creature known to man. To be specific, one of its fins, called a fluke, would fill the cargo space of the acreage

49、lue whale is one of natures largest and most fascinating wonders. 解析：这篇文章的主题是说蓝鲸之大。作者通过比较的手法让读者很容易地想象出蓝鲸大到什么程度。选项 A只是文中的一个细节，不能代表文章的主要观点。选项 B用一个例子说明蓝鲸之大，也只是用实例说明主题。选项 C不是文中涉及的内容。(2).The author develops his main idea by _.（分数：2.00）A.giving the reasons for its enormous growthB.using descriptive adjectivesC.comparing its size to known objects D.defining its watery environment解析：作者用实物比较的手法让读者想象蓝鲸大到什么程度。如蓝鲸的大小相当于多少马、牛、象的总和。蓝鲸的心脏需要五个身强力壮的人方能抬起，等等。选项 A不正确，文中没有涉及。选项 B不正确，文中第一句就
