參考答案

1.C解析：由題干關(guān)鍵詞adagencies可將答案定位至第一個小標(biāo)題TheBasics下第二段第三句。Theiradagenciesshouldbeashamedofthemselves!但此句與本題陳述不相關(guān)，文章其他部分也未出現(xiàn)相關(guān)信息。

2.aretaughttoexpressthemselves/learntoseekhelpforthemselvesaretaughttoexpressthemselves/learntoseekhelpforthemselves解析：參見全文最后一段最后幾句TonyWoods的感言：“Weneedtotellthem:You'reworthwhile.Seekhelp...Weneedtoteachboystoexpressthemselves.”

3.goodoralhygienehabitsgoodoralhygienehabits解析：定位到文章中MoreDentalProblems標(biāo)題下末句：Ifyourremoveplaqueregularlyandfollowgoodoralhygienehabits，yourgumsusuallywillreturntotheirhealthystate．(如果你能定期清除牙斑，養(yǎng)成良好的衛(wèi)生習(xí)慣，你的牙齦通常會恢復(fù)健康。)由此可得出答案。

4.C解析：綜合判斷題。本文的第十一段中提到：“Thevirtualworldprovidesarichandcolorfulenvironmentsimilartoonlyanotchlesssophisticated”。這句話的大意是：虛擬世界提供了一個類似電腦合成動畫電影《玩具總動員》那樣的豐富多彩的環(huán)境。而本小題所說的“在虛擬世界放映《玩具總動員》來吸引觀眾”是本文根本沒有涉及到的。

5.between60°Fand70°Fbetween60°Fand70°F解析：由題干中temperature可定位到第三個小標(biāo)題下第四段第二句：Booksshouldbestoredawayfromradiatorsandkeptinaroombetween60°Fand70°F．此處要求填入表示溫度的詞作表語。題干問藏書所需的適當(dāng)溫度是多少。根據(jù)該句可知，書籍應(yīng)在60°F至70°F間保存。因此句中的溫度between60°Fand70°F符合題干要求。

6.doshoppingonlinedoshoppingonline解析：文章倒數(shù)第二段第四句話提到了“ThelatestAppleandSonystoresaredesignedtodisplayproducts，inthefullexpectationthatmanypeoplewillbuyonline．”一些著名的大公司設(shè)計一些店鋪用來展示產(chǎn)品，目的是希望人們能夠購買商品。故正確答案為“doshoppingonline”。

7.B解析：第1段第2、3、4句："Peopleoftentellmetheydon'twanttorinsesensitiveissueswiththeirparentsaboutbringingincaregiversormoving,"shesays．"They'llsay，'Idon'twanttoseeDadcry．'"ButGreenusuallyresponds，"What'swrongwiththat?"從原文ClarissaGreen的話語中可知，避免與父母談?wù)搒ensitiveissues是人們的做法，原文第4句的But轉(zhuǎn)折表明Green持相反的觀點，題目張冠李戴，所以答案為N。

8.human-inducedlandscapechangehuma
