答案与解析　
1．A　考查固定短语at the beginning of“在……开头时”。
2．B　前半句说以前那个电脑太旧了，所以想买一台“新的”。
3．C　agree“同意”，从下文来看，父亲同意了我买新电脑的恳求。win“赢得”； pay“付钱”； receive“收到”，均不符合题意。
4．B　去过很多家商店，读过很多广告，“最终”买了HP电脑。at last“最终”； at first“起初”； at once“马上”； at times“有时候”。
5．B　依据上下文，我“留意到”电脑有问题。remember“记得”； think“认为”； tell“告知”，都不符合题意。
6．D　spend some time doing ...“花费时间做……”。try to do“试图做……”。
7．D　it didn't work表示“不起作用”。
8．C　我“不得不”给电脑公司打电话。have to“不得不”，其他几项都不符合题意。
9．B　给公司打电脑询问该怎样“解决”问题。work out“解决；计算出”； work for“为……工作”； come out“出来；出版”； point out“指出”，只有B项符合题意。
10．C　既然让他等到其次天，说明工人们那天很忙。
11．A　take在此句中指“花费”，其结构是it takes sb. some time to do sth.表示“某人花费多长时间做某事”； spend常用于结构sb. spend＋时间＋doing中； pay, cost指“花费(金钱)”。
12．C　still“仍旧”，修了很长时间，电脑仍旧没有修好。already“已经”； always“总是”； usually“通常”，都不符合题意。
13．D　return“归还；送回”，电脑修不好，只好退回去。give“给”； take“带去”； bring“带来”，都不符合题意。
14．A　order可表示“订购”，此处旨在网上订购一些零件，自己组装电脑。其余几项均不符合题意。
15．D　由下文可知，作者自己组装电脑，所以选D。
16．A　build在此指“组装”电脑，上文中已有提示。make“制造”； set“建立”； invent“创造”，都不符合题意。
17．D　最终一段主要讲这次经受使作者学到“很多”。a little“有点儿”； a few“有一些”； many虽表示很多，但修饰可数名词。
18．B　此句表示“假如电脑没有出故障，那么我就不会学着自己组装电脑了”。then为副词“那么”，其余三项都是连词，用来连接并列句，此句前面已有if连接的条件状语从句，后面是主句，此处不需要连词。
19．C　even though“即使”，引导让步状语从句。A、D两项都是表示缘由的； as though“好像”。所以只有C项符合。
20．A　a waste of“……的铺张”，从最终一段看出，作者的感受是这次挫折使他收获很大，因此“不是铺张时间”。
Ⅱ.阅读理解七选五
Question: I'm 15 and I've been having trouble sleeping at night. It usually takes me 2 to 4 hours to get to sleep. __1__ I can't concentrate on my lessons at school. Please help me!
Answer: If you are a person who doesn't regularly get a good night's sleep, you are not alone. __2__ Here are some tips for helping you get a good night's sleep：
•Keep regular hours.
By keeping regular hours your body and mind know what is coming up and can start to prepare for you to sleep. __3__ If you can't go to bed at regular time, then make sure you get up at a regular time. So after a late night you wake up tired, and it forces you to go to bed earlier.
•__4__
I know, you hear this about everything from heart health to losing weight, but exercise really does do you a world of good. However, don't do it too close to going to sleep. It is better to do it about an hour after dinner.
•Relax before going to bed.
__5__ In fact, when you lie down to go to sleep, your mind is going to be thinking about the programs you have been watching. Instead, take just 20 or 30 minutes before bed to read or sit, anything that gets you to slow down and gives your mind a rest!
A. Exercise.
B. Turn your clock away from the bed.
C. And I usually get about 4 or 5 hours' sleep in a day.
D. It also means you can get in a regular number of hours each night.
