(一场奇遇就是这样开始的。这所住宅，你似乎永远也走不到它的尽头，里边全都是意科不到的地方。他们先试着打开了几扇门，原来是几间无人居住的空房间，这是大家事先预料到的。接下来，他们进了一个非常狭长的房间，墙上挂满了画，他们还在屋内发现了一副盔甲。然后，他们又进了另一个房间，里面全是绿色的装饰物，只是在角落里放着一把竖琴。这以后，来到楼上的一间小厅，小厅有一扇门通向外面的阳台。不久以后，他们走进另一个空荡荡的房间，里面放着一只很大很大的衣橱，橱门上镶着镜子)”可知，第一段主要描写了房子的复杂结构。故选B。
【5题详解】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“f curse, because she knew that it is very flish t shut neself int any wardrbe... She tk a step further in---then tw r three steps, always expecting t feel wdwrk against the tips f her fingers. But she culd nt feel it. ( 当然喽，她让橱门开在那儿，因为她知道，一个人把自己关在衣橱里是非常愚蠢的。她向前又跨了一步，接着两步，三步，想用手指尖摸到木头的橱壁，但她始终没能摸到)”可推断，露西是谨慎并好奇的。故选B。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Then she nticed that there was smething crunching under her feet. “Is that mre mthball?” she thught, stping dwn t feel it with her hand. But instead f feeling the hard, smth wd, she felt smething sft and pwdery and extremely cld.( 这时，她感到脚底下有什么东西在吱嘎吱哽作响。我难道踩到了樟脑丸？她想，一边蹲下身来用手去摸。然而她摸到的不是坚硬而又光滑的木头橱底，而是一样柔软的、粉末似的、冰冷的东西)”可知，露西在衣橱里摸到的不是橱子底，而是柔软的，粉末状的，冰冷的东西，因此推断她会感到奇怪，故划线词词义与C项（奇怪的）意思相近。故选C。

An Australian prfessr is develping a rbt t mnitr the health f grazing cattle, a develpment that culd bring big changes t a prfessin that's relied largely n a lw-tech apprach fr decades but is facing a labr shrtage.
Salah Sukkarieh, a prfessr at the University f Sydney, sees rbts as necessary given hw cattlemen are aging. He is building a fur-wheeled rbt that will run n slar and electric pwer.

8. What is a prblem with the cattle-raising industry?
A. Sil pllutin.B. Lack f wrkers.
C. Aging machines.D. Lw prfitability.
9. What will Sukkarieh's rbt be able t d?

C. He is inexperienced in using rbts.D. He enjys the traditinal way f life.
11. Hw may rbts help with cattle watching accrding t Michael Kelsey?

【17题详解】
根据段落标题“Pick the mst imprtant.”可知，本段建议挑选最重要的，下文“Fcus n spending time that fr yu is fun and prductive.( 把时间花在那些对你来说有趣和富有成效的事情上)”说明要挑选一些有趣的和富有成效的事情去做，D项中的“what is meaningful in yur life”与标题中的“the mst imprtant”一致，下文是对“Make chices”具体解释。因此推断D项“选择你生活中有意义的东西”符合语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
上文“Many peple g crazy trying t figure ut hw t spend time with friends, family, wrk, play, etc.( 许多人疯狂地试图弄清楚如何在朋友，家庭，工作，娱乐等方面度过时间)”说明许多人想要弄清楚在生活中如何分配好时间，下文“Find ways t enjy them in a cmbined manner.( 找到一种结合的方式来享受它们)”说明可以把事情组合在一起享受，因此推断空格处与上文是转折关系，说明不要试图均衡时间，C项“不要试图在它们之间平衡时间”符合语境。故选C。
【19题详解】
空格处为段落小标题。根据下文“Yu wuld think learning takes mre time frm yu, but actually there are always new ways f ding things that can save yu time n daily tasks, freeing yu up fr the mst imprtant. Always be lking fr a new way t gain back an hur here r there. Always be lking fr a new way t gain back an hur here r there. (你可能会认为学习需要花费了你更多的时间，但实际上总有一些新的方法可以为你节省出做日常事务的时间，为你腾出时间去做最重要的事情。寻找在这里或者那里赢回一个小时的新方法)”可推断，本段讲述学习虽然花费很多时间，但总是能有一些方法为你节省时间做其他事情，因此要做有效的学习者。因此推断B项“做有效的学习者”为段落标题，故选B。
【20题详解】
下文“Every cmpletin is a small victry that adds up in a big way.( 每一次的完成都是一个小的胜利，累积起来就是一个大的胜利)”说明事情要一件一件去做，G项中的“making lists”与之呼应，因此推断G项“这就是为什么列清单在任何生产手册中都很重要的原因”符合语境，this指代上文“The wrld wn't cme t an end in mst cases just because yu left a few things undne. Celebrate prgress and keep refining (改进) tward a happy prductive existence.( 在大多数情况下，世界不会因为你没做完几件事而走向末日。庆祝进步，不断改进走向一个快乐而富有成效的存在)”解释了列出清单一件一件完成任务的原因。故选G。

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了他们去夏威夷度假途中的经历以及到了主人家后受到的礼遇，主人热情招待他们，还在工作之余带他们参加了很多当地的活动。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：在我们去那座房子的路上，雨下得如此大以至于我们不能不想还要多久才能到达那里。“”意为“如此……以至于……”，固定句型。故填s。
【37题详解】
考查固定搭配。本句运用了 d sth.，意为“花费……做某事”，故此处应填t get。
【38题详解】
考查介词。“a pack f”意为“一群……”。故填f。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它们被他们的主人训练地很好，它们的主人在照顾这些动物方面很有经验。先行词为masters（主人），且从句缺主语。故关系词填wh。
【40题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意：我们的主人跟我们分享了很多他们的经历并推荐了一些很好的吃饭、购物和参观的地方。“and”前后两个动作“shared”与“recmmended”是并列关系，时态一致。故填recmmended。
【41题详解】
考查名词。由空格前的不定冠词an与空格后的不定式t watch可以确定空格处应该填名词形式。故填cmpetitin。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。空格修饰名词stries，应用形容词形式，traditin的形容词为traditinal，故填traditinal。
【43题详解】
考查副词。空格处修饰形容词ppular，应用副词形式，huge的副词为hugely，故填hugely。
【44题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：我们被邀请去参加一场私人音乐会。由“n the last day f ur week-lng stay”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，用被动语态。主语为we，故填were invited。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。本句谓语动词为“were invited”，所以空格处动词listen应用非谓语动词形式。听音乐这个动作是由we发出的，所以选用现在分词形式。也可由and前后连接两个并列的结构这一规律解题，and后meeting interesting lcals为分词形式，故空格处填listening。
