v發(fā)生1D根據(jù)上下文可知，家里沒有WiFi對我們生活的影響是巨大的(huge)。possible“可能的”；modest“謙虛的”；positive“積極的”。2B根據(jù)前一句“It had a _1_ effect on our lives”和下文的“But，what will we do”可知，平時(shí)家里離不開WiFi，現(xiàn)在沒有了，當(dāng)然對我們平時(shí)的生活方式產(chǎn)生挑戰(zhàn)。explore“探索”；improve“提升”；guarantee“保證”。3C根據(jù)下文的“When given the news that there was no WiFi in the house”可知，我們家里失去(lost) WiFi一個(gè)多星期；receive“收到”；book“訂購”；buy“購買”。4B根據(jù)第二段第一句“I was raised in the preWiFi era”可知，“我”是在沒有WiFi的時(shí)代長大的，因此對于沒有了WiFi也是比較習(xí)慣的(accustomed)，be accustomed to表示“習(xí)慣于”。5A根據(jù)上下文可推知，“我”習(xí)慣無WiFi的生活，但是孩子們不習(xí)慣。上下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因此選however。6C根據(jù)空后的“But, what will we do”可知空處指的是他們的第一反應(yīng)(response)。7D根據(jù)上下文可知，沒有WiFi只有電視，且電視頻道只有70多個(gè)，孩子們很絕望。excited“興奮的”；grateful“感激的”；embarrassed“尷尬的”；desperate“絕望的”。8B根據(jù)本句的定語從句“most of which is now given online”可知，家庭作業(yè)應(yīng)是孩子們的主要(major)挑戰(zhàn)。avoidable“可避免的”；enjoyable“令人愉快的”；simple“簡單的”。9A空后的“the dog ate my homework”表示“狗吃了我的作業(yè)”，此處表示沒有網(wǎng)絡(luò)是這種借口的一個(gè)新提法，故選A。10C根據(jù)空后的賓語從句“that one of her friends had her water supply temporarily_11_ due to a leak”可知，這些內(nèi)容應(yīng)該是女兒講出來(observed)的。 repeat“重復(fù)”；promise“承諾”；ignore“忽略”；observe“觀察，說，評論”。11B根據(jù)該空后的“due to a leak”可推知，水管漏水了，供水會(huì)被暫時(shí)中斷(cut off)。12A根據(jù)上下文可知，女兒認(rèn)為我們沒有WiFi更糟糕(worse)。13D根據(jù)上下文可知，為了能夠在家工作，丈夫和“我”需要互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。enable sb.to do sth.表示“使某人能做某事”。14C根據(jù)下文的“Although expensive”可知，“我”去商店買(purchase)WiFi。 look into“調(diào)查”；search for“尋找”；borrow“借”。15A根據(jù)語境可知，買了WiFi，“我”建立自己的網(wǎng)絡(luò)就容易了。16D根據(jù)本句中的“l(fā)ike leaving a tap running(像讓水管的水不停地流著一樣)”可知，我們知道讓水管的水不停地流著意味著“浪費(fèi)”，故選D。17B根據(jù)上下文可知，當(dāng)“我”上網(wǎng)做事時(shí)，“我”是盡快地做，as quickly as possible表示“盡快地”。18A根據(jù)語境可知，技術(shù)已經(jīng)引起了我們?nèi)粘Ｉ畹母淖儯@些改變在我們沒有注意(noticing)的情況下發(fā)生了。19D參見上題解析。reflect“反思”；hear“聽到”；appreciate“欣賞”。20C根據(jù)該空后的“without WiFi was seeing the children make forts(堡壘)out of the sofa cushions，which they havent done in years”可知，沒有了WiFi，孩子們可以在一起玩，這是愉快的(bright)事情。二重點(diǎn)短語識(shí)記思考運(yùn)用1動(dòng)詞介詞/副詞star in 在擔(dān)任主角；主演cut off 切斷；斷絕pick out 挑出；辨別出pick up

would like to advise you not to hurt yourself to to make money.Instead，take care of your body and be happy with you do.Health is more important.第一處：think前面加who或think改為thinking。考查定語從句或現(xiàn)在分詞。分析該句結(jié)構(gòu)可知，該句為定語從句，先行詞為many people，故用who引導(dǎo)該定語從句；因many people和think為主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故也可以用現(xiàn)在分詞thinking作many people的后置定語。第二處：刪除had?？疾闀r(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)該句中的“used to”和“until one day”可知，該句陳述的是過去發(fā)生的事情，故用一般過去時(shí)。第三處：ana?？疾楣谠~。European的讀音以輔音音素開頭，故用a。第四處：ThereforeHowever?？疾楦痹~。上文說他是一位歐洲億萬富翁，得到了他想要的一切，該句說在他生命里的最后二十年，他的健康狀況變得越來越糟。上下文為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故用However。第五處：miserablymiserable?？疾樾稳菰~。life為名詞，故應(yīng)用形容詞miserable修飾。第六處：called前面加were。考查主謂一致、時(shí)態(tài)和語態(tài)。主語the best doctors為復(fù)數(shù)且和動(dòng)詞call之間為動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，故用被動(dòng)語態(tài)；這里講述的是過去發(fā)生的事情，故用were。第七處：millionmillions?？疾楣潭ù钆?。millions of為固定搭配，表示“許多”。第八處：atin?？疾榻樵~。in poor health為固定搭配，意為“身體不好”。第九處：tryingtry?？疾閯?dòng)詞不定式。此處是動(dòng)詞不定式表目的，故to后應(yīng)用動(dòng)詞原形try。第十處：whichwhat。考查賓語從句。分析該句結(jié)構(gòu)可知，with后接賓語從句，連接詞在從句中作do的賓語，故用what。
