70.Nowhereelseintheworld______(你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)比中國(guó)人民更友好的人).

參考答案

1.B解析：通讀全文后，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)并不是所有的人都是帶著獲得一種更好的生活而自愿來(lái)到美國(guó)的，有些人是迫不得已的。從這些句子中可以看出他們的不情愿。如"Thereweretwootherswhocamenotbecausetheywantedto，butbecausetheyhadto.""Andsotheycame,boththewillingandtheunwilling."等。

2.B解析：根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞skillandspeed，fameandphysicalexcellence尋讀原文，可發(fā)現(xiàn)文章第四段說(shuō)的是希臘人如何如何，并非明確指明是奧運(yùn)會(huì)，故本題應(yīng)為N。

3.twotwo解析：文章第九段的開(kāi)頭第一句話就說(shuō)明了有兩種契約仆役。因此，此空填two。

4.maximumloadmaximumload解析：本題涉及小型發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)提高單位油量英里數(shù)所采取的方式。SmallerEnginesareMoreEfficient下首段第二句為答案出處。Inasmallengine，however，theefficiencycanbeimproved…byoperatingtheengineclosertoitsmaximumlead表明小型發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)通過(guò)接近最大負(fù)載運(yùn)行的方式提高效率(即單位油量英里數(shù))。
