matters into one's own hands“某人親自出馬”，符合語境。9B某個(gè)人在給賓館打電話，要求(asked for)預(yù)訂一個(gè)下個(gè)星期二的房間。seek for“尋找”；pay for“付款”；wait for“等待”。10C根據(jù)10空后面的“How many nights？”可知，此處表示“沒問題(no

up“露面，到來”正確。18A參見上題解析。inform表示“通知，告知”。19D不久以后，她在一份報(bào)紙(newspaper)上看到這家賓館可能會(huì)破產(chǎn)的消息。note意為“筆記”；brochure意為“手冊(cè)”；poster意為“海報(bào)”。20Coffer

if it was your last.”可知，答案選D項(xiàng)。句意：自那以后，在過去的33年中，我每天早晨都會(huì)對(duì)著鏡子問自己：“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天，我會(huì)去做今天打算做的那些事嗎？”3A句意：每當(dāng)答案連續(xù)多日都是“不會(huì)”的時(shí)候，我知道我該做些改變了。in a row

order“整齊，整潔”。7B句意：最后竟然是一種非常罕見的可以用手術(shù)治愈的癌癥。turn out“結(jié)果是”，符合語境。8D根據(jù)上題解析可知，選D項(xiàng)。curable“可醫(yī)治的，可治愈的”。9C句意：即使是想上天堂的人，也不會(huì)為了去那里而死。10A句意：但是死亡是我們每個(gè)人共同的終點(diǎn)。destination“目的地，終點(diǎn)”，符合語境。origin“起源，出身”；fate“命運(yùn)”；frustration“受挫，挫敗”。11B句意：無人幸免。escape是“逃脫”的意思，符合語境。12D從后句可知答案。死亡很可能是生命唯一最好的發(fā)明，它是生命變化更替的推動(dòng)力。13C句意：它將舊的清除以便給新的讓路。clear

spent hours in my house，watching flies.”中的暗示可知選B項(xiàng)。4D每個(gè)人都笑了，大家都等著小索菲繼續(xù)講。5Cnormally“正常地，通常地”。當(dāng)蒼蠅正常飛行時(shí)，一切順利。6B根據(jù)下文信息“They were so hysterical(歇斯底里的)that they couldn't fly out of the window.”中的暗示可知選B項(xiàng)。7D根據(jù)上文“they would really be noisy”可知這里指蒼蠅發(fā)出的嗡嗡聲。8C“shouting and protesting”是蒼蠅所做的事。9C蒼蠅不能飛出窗戶，它們只是用頭一遍又一遍地撞擊玻璃。beat“擊打”。10Awatch“觀看，觀察”。要是蒼蠅能觀察一下蝴蝶是怎樣飛過窗戶的就好了，它們就會(huì)看見窗戶的頂部是開著的。11C參見上題解析。12A蝴蝶試圖告訴蒼蠅，但沒有任何效果。蒼蠅還是不停地喊叫、抱怨。13Bamuse“逗笑，逗樂”。聽了學(xué)生的報(bào)告，利特默斯先生笑了。14Danger“怒，憤怒”。由上文信息可知小索菲在報(bào)告中說蒼蠅飛不出窗戶時(shí)很憤怒，所以這里老師解釋說蒼蠅的這種行為方式與憤怒無關(guān)。15Alevel“水平”。小索菲的發(fā)現(xiàn)只是一個(gè)表明動(dòng)物的智力和意識(shí)水平的不同的例子。16Bcause“引起，使發(fā)生，導(dǎo)致”。這事在科學(xué)課上引起了很大的混亂。17Blist“把列入中”。許多父母抱怨他們的孩子把他們列入最不聰明的生物之中。18A孩子們說這是因?yàn)樗麄兊母改钢皇潜г?，也不聽任何人的意見?9Ccalm down“平靜下來，鎮(zhèn)定下來”。老師不得不做了很多解釋，也有不少的父母冷靜了下來。20Dstupid“頭腦糊涂的，傻的，笨的，愚蠢的”。后半句中的intelligently也是暗示。這事讓一些家長(zhǎng)意識(shí)到，盡管他們并不愚蠢，但他們經(jīng)常表現(xiàn)得不太聰明。
