2.2】D 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)文章第一句A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.可知是一群畢業(yè)生來看望老師，對(duì)于老師來說他們都是自己的客人。故D正確。

3.3】B 動(dòng)詞辨析。A攜帶；B返回；C/D到達(dá)；教授走進(jìn)了廚房，返回的時(shí)候手里拿著一大壺咖啡和很多杯子。3

4.4】B 固定搭配。A variety of各種各樣的；根據(jù)下文每個(gè)學(xué)生手里都有杯子可知老師拿出了很多杯子讓學(xué)生喝咖啡。

5.5】.C 考察固定搭配。固定搭配help oneself to…自行取用….；本句是指老師讓學(xué)生自己去喝咖啡。

6.6】C 動(dòng)詞辨析。A尋找；B目睹，見證；C注意到；D發(fā)現(xiàn)；老師說：如果你們注意到到所有的看起來昂貴的杯子都被拿走，剩下的只有一些看起來很普通很便宜的杯子。

7.7】A 短語(yǔ)辨析。A占據(jù)，占用；B引進(jìn)，賺錢；C賣完；D砍倒；本句是指所有的看起來昂貴的杯子都被拿走了。

8.8】B 形容詞辨析。A昂貴的；B便宜的；C美麗的；D通常的；本句應(yīng)該使用cheap與前面的the plain形成呼應(yīng)關(guān)系。剩下的只有一些看起來很普通很便宜的杯子

9.9】C 名詞辨析。A點(diǎn)；B答案；C來源，根源；D結(jié)果；老師發(fā)現(xiàn)追求最好的東西是人們壓力的來源。

10.0】D 語(yǔ)法分析。本句中的反身代詞itself就是指句子的主語(yǔ)the cup，在句中表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。指杯子本身并不能增加咖啡的質(zhì)量。

11.1】D 短語(yǔ)辨析。A立刻，馬上；B時(shí)而不時(shí)；C立刻；D大部分情況下；大部分情況下杯子只會(huì)讓咖啡更加昂貴，有時(shí)候甚至?xí)屛覀冋嬲碛械臇|西失去意義。

14.4】A 上下文串聯(lián)。你們真正想要的是咖啡，但是你們有意去拿了最好的杯子。這會(huì)讓你們的真正所想的東西失去了意義。

15.5】D 詞義辨析。Envy嫉妒；look at看；你們拿到了自己的杯子以后，甚至開始看別人的杯子，在進(jìn)行比較。這更加讓你們的生活有了壓力。

16.6】B 上下文串聯(lián)。在本文中教授把咖啡比喻成生活，其他的工作，金錢，地位等是杯子。比喻讓額外的東西影響我們的生活。

17.7】A 上下文串聯(lián)。這里的they就是指前面一句中的the jobs, money and position燈事物。

18.8】C 名詞辨析。A數(shù)量；B風(fēng)格；C質(zhì)量；D標(biāo)準(zhǔn)；the jobs, money and position只是杯子等額外的東西，變化改變我們生活的質(zhì)量。

19.9】D 動(dòng)詞辨析。A擁有；B猶豫；C忘記；D失敗；fail to do sth未能做某事；有時(shí)候我們只注意了咖啡，卻沒有能夠享有我們的咖啡。

20.20】B 動(dòng)詞辨析。A強(qiáng)迫；B驅(qū)使；驅(qū)趕；C使…困惑；D使…驚訝；不要讓額外的事物驅(qū)趕著你，真正地享受自己的生活吧！

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 1897, Irene Curies was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers.
