分析 20世紀美國人的購物習慣發(fā)生了很大的變化，那時大多數(shù)美國街道都有購物中心．隨著社會的發(fā)展購物也發(fā)生了相應(yīng)的變化．

解答 1～15 DBCDD   BBDAB   ADCBC
1．D 考查動詞． 本句的意思是"街道的兩旁排列著很多各種各樣的商店"，build的意思是"建造，修建"，design的意思是"設(shè)計"，intend意思是"打算"，line是"沿…排列"的意思．
2．B考查形容詞．  varied是"變化多端"的意思，various為"各種各樣的"，sorted意為"分類的"，mixed-up意為"困惑的，迷惘的，不適應(yīng)社會的"．根據(jù)句子里的look at all sorts of merchandise：clothing，furniture，hardware，groceries可知，商店是各種各樣的．
3．C 考查介詞短語． 本句的意思是"除了各種各樣的商店銷售各種各樣的商品之外，有些商店還提供服務(wù)"，apart from意為"除此之外"，后必須接名詞或動名詞，however是連詞"然而"的意思，in addition可單獨使用，意為"除此之外"，as well用在句末．
4．D 考查名詞． medical care意為"醫(yī)療護理"．food是"食物"，cosmetic是"化妝品"，service是"服務(wù)"，根據(jù)上題意思，service一詞放在這里最合適．
5．D 考查副詞． 本句的意思是"在五十年代，情況發(fā)生了變化"，有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思．suddenly和abruptly都是"突然"的意思，contrarily指"相反地"，but是"但是"的意思，表轉(zhuǎn)折．
6．B 考查動詞短語． take place只有主動語態(tài)，故可排除C，而begin to后應(yīng)接動詞不定式，只有take place"發(fā)生"可用．
7．B 考查短語． be available to sb．為固定搭配，意為"對某人來說可用的，可得到的"，本句意為"顧客可用的停車場地"，故選B．
8．D  考查介詞．根據(jù)句意可知"商人們開始對城市界限以外的開闊地感興趣"，out of表示"…的外面"而outside指"超過某一個界限，范圍等"．
9．A考查動詞．通過句子里的small new stores推測"購物中心是從聚集一些小的店鋪開始的"，只有started as有此意．
10．B  考查介詞短語．根據(jù)句意可知"遠離擁擠的市中心"，out of指"在…之外"，away from表示距離，"遠離"，next to指"靠近，下一個"，near是"近"的意思．
11．A考查動詞．a(chǎn)ttract和句子主語customer之間是被動關(guān)系，為"被…所吸引"，surprise意為"使…驚奇"，delight意為"使…喜悅"，enjoy意為"欣賞，喜愛"．
12．D 考查名詞． 本句意為"顧客從市區(qū)被吸引到城市以外的商業(yè)中心"，只有downtown"市區(qū)"符合此意．
13．C 考查名詞． 根據(jù)本句句意"這些購物中心越來越大的名氣反過來導致了更大，設(shè)備更好的商店的建成"．distinction聲望；fame卓越，好名聲；popularity名氣很大，知名度很高；liking喜愛，喜好．故選C．
14．B考查短介詞語．  根據(jù)上題解釋，in turn應(yīng)為"依次"的意思，引申為"反過來"．
15．C考查名詞．  這里convenience與providing組成短語"提供方便，便利"，符合上下文義．本句意為"商業(yè)街被變成了帶有長椅、噴泉及戶外娛樂的風景優(yōu)美的公園"．

點評 這是一篇政治經(jīng)濟類的記敘文．解答此類題目，首先需要通讀全文，掌握文章大意；其次分析每一個空格前后的語意和語境，進而根據(jù)相關(guān)語法選擇正確的答案．

4．On March 28th，the New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online．
In a letter to readers，Arthur Sulzberger，Jr．，the publisher of the paper，laid out the details of the paywall，which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world．He called the move"an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in the Times，one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform．"
Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge．Once they click on the 21st piece，however，they'll be presented with three payment options：15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access，20 for access to the site and the iPad application，or   35 for access to everything．People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to the Times on all platforms．
These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work．The Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday，which block access to all contents unless the reader pays．
The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant in the social media world．According to Sulzberger's announcement，people who come to the Times site from Facebook，Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit．
However，Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on"some search engines"，meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines，any futher articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count．It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google，where there will be a five-article limit．This marks a clear attempt by the Times to close what could be a giant loophole （漏洞），since so much online traffic is directed through Google．But it also presents a risk for the Times for the same reason．
Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk．"The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network，"he said，adding that the Times must"continue to engage with the widest possible audience．"
67．The author's main purpose in the text is toC．
A．describe research findings                        
B．make advertisements
C．report a piece of news                            
D．suggest a solution
68．Why will the Times charge their online readers？D
A．It wants to stay relevant in the social media world．
B．It has too many readers coming from the other sites．
C．It is trying a way to offer better service to its readers．
D．It is seeking new financial sources for its development．
69．Who will be limited to the New York Times articles？C
A．Those subscribing to the printed newspapers．
B．Readers clicking through from Facebook．
C．Those using Google research engine．
D．Readers paying   35 a month．
70．What challenge may the paywall bring to the New York Times？C
A．It may bring the Times more competition with the other media．
B．It may stop the Times connecting to the global network．
C．It may result in huge drops in papers'online readership．
D．It may block the readers from the other websites．

18．The new high speed railway line between Urumqi，capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region，and Lanzhou，capital of Gansu province，has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours．
The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival．
"For the first time，I feel home is not that far away after all，"said Liang shaofu as he boarded a high speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family．
The 35 year old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago，and he has now settled in Urumqi．
The 1，776 km line，which passes through Qinghai province and is the country's first high speed railway built in a high altitude region，came into service on Dec 26．
"We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season，"Liang said．"Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes，so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip．
More than 600，000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month，and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season．
The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development．All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link，leaving the old one to be used for goods．As a result，Xinjiang's annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million．
The line passes through areas that experience high winds，and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the bone dry sands of the Gobi Desert．
The project could help China to promote its high speed railway technology abroad，said Ma Xizhang，director of the Lanzhou Xinjiang railway project's management department in Xinjiang．
21． How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before？D
A．a(chǎn)bout 12 hours．
B．About 6 hours．
C．About 18 hours．
D．About 24 hours．
22．What's the main advantage of the new high speed railway？D
A．It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou．
B．It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang．
C．All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals．
D．It helps to improve Xinjiang's development．
23．From the passage we can learnB．
A．Xinjiang's annual goods ability can increase nearly four times
B．the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad
C．the high speed railway lines can't be built across the bone dry sands
D．the old railway lines can only carry goods now
24．Which of the following is true according to the passage？C
A．The new high speed railway line is good for all people to go home．
B．The new high speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods．
C．Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou．
D．Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before．
