試題分析：這篇短文主要通過老師向?qū)W生演示舉水杯的事例，告訴讀者，我們負(fù)重越久，就越覺得它重。因此，在日常生活中，我們需要將背負(fù)的重壓時不時放下，這樣我們才能調(diào)整狀態(tài)重新將它們背起。

【1】C考查形容詞及語境理解。hot： 熱的，cold：冷的，heavy ：重的，light：輕 的。根據(jù)下文的“from 20g to 500g”的描述可知，這里是詢問水杯有多重。故應(yīng)選C。

【2】A考查形容詞及語境理解。different ：不同的，same：相同的，good：好的，bad：壞的。根據(jù)下文“from 20g to 500g.”的描述可知，這里指的是學(xué)生們的回答各不相同。故選A。

【3】B考查動詞及語境理解。drink：喝，hold：舉，throw：扔，take：拿。根據(jù)下文“If I hold it for a minute,”的描述可知，這里指的是取決于你舉多久。故應(yīng)選B。

【4】D考查形容詞及語境理解。terrible：可怕的，heavy：重的，interesting：有趣的，light：輕的。根據(jù)下文“If I hold it for an hour, you will have to call an ambulance (救護(hù)車). It is exactly the same weight, but the -----I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”的描述可知，這里指的是舉一會兒，它就是輕的。故應(yīng)選D。

【5】D考查形容詞比較級及語境理解。根據(jù)前文的描述可知，舉水杯的時間越長，就越覺得它重。“the+比較級，the+比較級”表示“越……越……”。結(jié)合語境可知應(yīng)選D。

【6】A考查連詞及語境理解。because ：因?yàn)�，表示因果；but：但是，表示轉(zhuǎn)折；though：盡管，表示讓步；so：因此，表示順承。根據(jù)語境可知，這里表示因果關(guān)系。故選A。

【7】B考查介詞及語境理解。根據(jù)下文“rest for a while before holding it up again”的描述可知，這里指的是把水杯放下。put down是固定短語，表示“放下”。故應(yīng)選B。

【8】C考查連詞及語境理解。to 后接動詞不定式可作目的狀語；in order to表示“為了”，后接動詞不定式；so that表示“以便”、“為了”，后接從句；so as to表示“以致于”，后接動詞不定式。根據(jù)語境可知應(yīng)選C。

【9】C考查動詞短語及語境理解。get to和 go back to后均接地點(diǎn)名詞 ，如果是副詞，應(yīng)省略to； return 后直接接地點(diǎn)名詞，表示回到某地，但不與back連用。根據(jù)語境可知應(yīng)選C。
