tical*：D　根据句中的whenwe'rehonest可知，每个人都可能会尖锐地评判(criticize)这个世界。其余选项中，proud意为“自豪的”；sure意为“确信的”；hopeful意为“有希望的”，均不符合语境。故选D项。16．A．faceB．createC．solveD．ignore*：D　本句话是对首句的进一步解释，句意：我不是建议你忽略问题，或者假装事情要比他们本身更好，不过仅仅是允许事情按自己的规律发展……句中的or表示选择，根据句中的notsuggesting和pretend可知用“忽略”合适。17．A．rarerB．betterC．strangerD．worse*：B　根据上题的解释，“假装”可能是事情的好的方面，因此用better合适。18．A．atleastB．atlastC．byfarD．sofar*：A　句意：……不过仅仅是允许事情按自己的规律发展——至少在大多数时候……atleast意为“至少”；atlast意为“最后”；byfar意为“(与形容词、副词的比较级或最高级连用)最；无疑；很”；sofar意为“到目前为止”。根据语境可知，修饰时间状语“大多数时间”用atleast搭配更合适。故选A项。19．A．taskB．dealC．resultD．duty*：B　背景常识题。句意：……尤其是当它不是真正的大事时。task意为“任务”；deal意为“协议；交易”；result意为“结果”；duty意为“义务”。对比前面的things可知用deal最合适，notabigdeal表示“不是什么大事”，故选B项。20．A．practiceB．speechC．restD．pity*：A　句意：训练自己“忍住不说”，经过一点点练习，你会真正地学会顺其自然。practice与train对应，符合语境，故选A项。Ⅳ．阅读理解AIwentonliocheckifmypaywasinmybankaccount．TomyamazementIdiscoveredthatnotonlyhadIbeenpaid，apanyI'dneverworkedforhadalsopaidme！IknewI'dhavebeenbeside_myselfifmyownsalarywasnotinmyaccount，soItriedtogetthemoneybacktotherightperson．Easiersaidthandone．Thebankcouldn'thelpasitwasn'tabankproblem．ThehumanresourcesdepartmentatthepanythatpaidmewasunabletohelpasIdidn'thaveenoughdetails．Irangthebankagain．ThankfullyIhadasympatheticcalloperatorwhogavemeaname，soIagainrangthepany“Daniel”workedfor．IexpectedthebankwouldcontactmetoarrangetotakethemoneyfrommyaccountandrepayDaniel．IheardnothingforamonthandthemoneyremainedinmyaccountwhenDanielcalled，explaininghe'dtriedtogetbackhismoneybuthadbeenunsuccessfulasneitherthebanknorhispanyfeltitwastheirerror．HehadrungtoaskifIcouldspeaktothebank，butafterchattingforafewminuteswerealizedwecouldprobablyfixthisproblemourselves．WedecidedIwouldtakethemoneyfrommyaccountandhewouldpickitupfromme．DuetomybusyjobIwasunabletomeetDanielpersonallybutheleftmealovelybottleofwineinexchangeforwhatwasrightfullyhis．IneverhadanyintentionofkeepingDaniel'spaybutredtape(繁文缛节)madeitdifficulttodotherightthing．Itallcamedowntotwopeoplebeingabletodowhatahugebankandalargepanycouldn'tdo—admitamistakehasoccurredandfixit．文章大意：作者上网查询银行账户是否收到了*，让作者感到吃惊的是他不仅收到了*，他的账户中还多出了一笔钱。作者打算把钱还给它真正的主人，但说起来容易做起来难。银行和公司都以不是它们的错误为由拒绝解决这件事情。1．Whatwastheattitudeoftheauthortowardstheextramoneyinhisbankaccount？A．Hedidn'tknowwhattodowithit．B．Hefeltluckytogetit．C．Hethoughtofkeepingitforhimself．D．Hewantedtoreturnittotherightperson．*：D　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Itriedtogetthemoneybacktotherightperson”可知，作者打算把账户里多出来的钱还给它真正的主人，故选D。2．Theunderlinedphrase“besidemyself”inParagraph1probablymeans________．A．veryfortunateB．veryangryC．reallythankfulD．atease*：B　词义猜测题。根据“ifmyownsalarywasnotinmyaccount”可知，这里假设的是作者没有收到*，所以作者不可能会感到非常幸运、感激或自在，故排除A、C、D；besideoneself失去自制力，这里的意思是“很生气”，故选B。3．Howwastheproblemsolvedintheend？A．TheauthorandDanielsolvedtheproblemthemselves．B．ItcostDanielalovelybottleofwiogetbackhismoney．C．Theauthorgavethemoneybacktothepany．D．Thecalloperatorofferedtosolvetheirproblem．*：A　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中“butafterchattingforafewminuteswerealizedwecouldprobablyfixthisproblemourselves”和四段可知，作者和Daniel两个人私下把事情解决了，故选A。4．Fromthepassagewecaninferthat________．A．thebankcouldsolvetheproblemsoonandeasilywithredtapeB．somelargeorganizationsusuallyhavetroublesomeofficialrulesC．Danieldidn'tknowtheerrorbeforebecontactedtheauthorD．thepanygavethewrongaccounttothebank*：B　推理判断题。根据最后两句可知，一些大的团体或机构有着繁琐的规定，使本来简单的事情变得繁琐，故选B。BAprivategroupofscientistshaveannouncedplanstomakeanexactcopyofahumanbeing．AnAmericanmemberoftheteamsaysheandtheotherswillsoonbeginaseriousefforttoclonehumans．PanosZavossaystheteamhopestomanufacturetheworld'sfirstclonedbabywithinthenexttwoyears．Inrecentyears，scientistshaveproducedexactgeiccopiesofsheepandafewotheranimals．Theycreatedtheseclonesfromasinglecellofanadultanimal．Threeyearsago，anotherAmericandoctor，RichardSeed，announcedplanstocloneahumanbeing．However，thereisnoevidencethathehasbeensuccessful．DoctorZavossaysthenewinternationalgroupplanstoofferhumancloningonlytowomenwhoarecurrentlynotabletobeepregnantorproducechildren．Hesaystheaimistoassistpeoplewhowanttohavetheirownbiologicalchild．Thetechnologywouldbesimilartothatusedtocloneanimals．Itwouldinvolvecleaninggeicmaterialfromawoman'segg．Doctorsthenwouldplacegeicmaterialfromthewoman'shusbandintotheeggbeforeputtingitintothewoman'suterus(子宫)．DoctorZavossayshisgroupplanstodotheworkinacountryneartheMediterraneanSea．Hedidnotnamethecountry．HesaysanItalianreproductiveexpert，SevorinoAntinori，isleadingtheteam．DoctorAntinorihasledtheeffortstohelpmanyolderwomenbeepregnant．Heisknownforestablishingpregnanciesinwomenasoldassixty．Manymedicalexpertsandothergroupsareopposedtotheideaofcloninghumans．Severalcountriesbanorrestrictworkonhumancloning．SeveraldoctorscriticizetheannouncementbyDoctonZavos．Theysaydoctorsdonotknowifcloninghumansispossibleorsafe．Theysayitwouldbeirresponsibletoattempttocloneahumanbeing．Thatisbecausethechancesofsuccessaretoosmallandtherisksaretoogreat．文章大意：本文主要是对克隆人这一话题的讨论，有人支持也有人反对，文章对于克隆人的优点和缺点也都作了详细说明。5．Theunderlinedword“manufacture”inthefirstparagraphmeans“________”．A．produce　　　　　　B．opposeC．attemptD．experiment*：A　词义猜测题。结合文章内容可知，他们希望在未来两年内制造出世界上第一个
