答案 C
7.A.Even if B.So that

答案 A
19.A.painful B.sad
C.expensive D.lovely
解析 依据语境可知,此处应选lovely,表现的是一种猛烈的讽刺效果,增加了语言的表现力。而painful,sad两词会使语言的色调索然无味,暗淡无光。

C.reacting D.freezing

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Vans, Keds, Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you'll know they're actually the latest in teenage footwear.
But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.
Here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers' shoe choice.
KEDS/VANS
Slip-on shoes with elastic (弹性的)sides are particularly popular among teenage boys - with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.
The main problem is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.
BALLET PUMPS
The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans. However ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems.
“As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait(步法), this leads to short- and long-term problems such as calluses(茧子), heel and knee pain.”
WEDGES AND STILETTOS
These shoes can also cause problems with gait. They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearer's body weight forward, making them very unstable.
Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain.
SCHOOL SHOES
So what do podiatrists(足科医生)have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?
Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark's, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.
If your teen insists on wearing 'bad' shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器) in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage.
1. Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?
A. Marks & Spencer. B. Wedges & Stilettos.
C. Keds and Vans. D. Ballet Pumps.
2. Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists’ wish list?
A. B. C. D.
3. The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. increase B. worsen C. stop D. cure
4. From this passage we can infer _______.
A. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers’ health
B. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them
C. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes
D. podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes
5. In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?
A. Sports. B. Science. C. Health. D. Shopping.
【参考答案】 1—-5、DBCAC
阅读理解。阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier,only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps,after all,it is safer to be driven by a woman.
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red,orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”.These help us see in a bright day and tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color. Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects,but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day,and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
1. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. color and its surprising effects B. women being luckier than men
C. danger caused by color blindness D. color blindness
2. According to the passage,with the help of the “cones”,we can ________.
A. tell different colors B. see in weak light
C. tell different shapes D. tell orange from yellow
3. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?
A. Women are more careful. B. There are fewer colorblind women.
C. Women are fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.

Air travel has three advantage over train travel. First, it can save much time. We can fly from one place to other in a long time, but by train we have to spend more time. Second, air travel is more comfortable because the plane flies so smooth that we can have a good rest during the trip. Third, the train is crowding sometimes and passengers have to sit for a long time, what makes them tired. But train travel also has it’s own advantages. For an example, traveling by train cost only a little money. Besides this, we can enjoy the view out the train’s windows.
