WORKER.careersgoldencare.com”可知，想要成為護(hù)工可以給careersgoldencare.com發(fā)郵件。故選C。2B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二條招聘廣告中的“You may also receive free tickets to events and free products to test.”可知，成為Wowee雜志的作者可以享受公司活動的免費(fèi)票和免費(fèi)的測試產(chǎn)品。故選B。3D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二條招聘廣告中的“We want people who are：chatty，interesting，passionate and skilled”可知，Wowee雜志要求應(yīng)聘者善談、有激情是社交能力強(qiáng)。故選D。語篇解讀作者通過一些經(jīng)歷告訴我們，對于生活中我們不能改變的事情，我們可以改變自己的思考方式，從困難中找到一些有趣的事情，多一些幽默感，這樣麻煩的問題便不再麻煩。4C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“I currently live in Utah”“I previously lived in Colorado”“Years ago I lived in the Peach State of Georgia，and I grew up in New Mexico”可知作者住過四個(gè)地方。故選C。5B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“That made the problem more acceptable or at least can be live with.”可知，在聽到店主說的話之后，新來的人可能會感到放松?？芍鸢笧锽。6A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后兩句“Finding something amusing or enjoyable of difficulty，a troublesome problem can be one of the most creative and effective things we can do.Sometimes the only sense you can make of a situation is a sense of humor.”可知，這篇文章是為了鼓勵人們在日常生活中找到有趣的一面。故選A。7C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“She was visiting an antique shop and the owner wiped down every item before showing it.”她去了一家古玩店，店主在展示之前把每件東西都擦了一遍。由此推知，it指的是“出售的一件商品”，故選C。8B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“extracting(提煉) fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them”可知，提煉化石燃料成本較高，造成了化石燃料價(jià)格較高。故選B。9A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources”和下文地?zé)嵯到y(tǒng)和發(fā)電廠產(chǎn)生二氧化碳的數(shù)量比較可知，地?zé)崾潜容^環(huán)保的資源，故選A。10C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第三句中的“due to the very nature of geothermal energy，geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts”可知，由于地?zé)豳Y源的性質(zhì)，地?zé)嵩O(shè)備沒有傳統(tǒng)能源設(shè)備大，易移動。故選C。11D主旨大意題。當(dāng)前地?zé)豳Y源是最有效、最受歡迎的資源，它具有經(jīng)濟(jì)、環(huán)保、成本低等特點(diǎn)。本文主要介紹的就是地?zé)崮茉吹膬?yōu)點(diǎn)。故選D。.語篇解讀本文是關(guān)于禮儀的話題。接到婚禮邀請，如果沒有時(shí)間要按照收到邀請的方式拒絕，不要拖延，也不要反復(fù)變化。12G根據(jù)上一句提到不確定參加的話，事情會變得很尷尬，可推知下一句要表達(dá)拒絕婚禮會怎么樣。G項(xiàng)(拒絕婚禮是一種讓你覺得很私人的情況)符合語境。13C根據(jù)下半句的“you should decline via post.”可知，此處說的是拒絕邀請的方式，C項(xiàng)(如果邀請函是郵寄給你的)，你應(yīng)該通過郵寄來拒絕，符合語境。14D根據(jù)本段的標(biāo)題“不要拖延你的回復(fù)”，以及本段意思是說如果確定自己無法參加，不要拖延，盡快地讓對方知道。D項(xiàng)(不要把它留到最后一刻)符合本段語境。 15B根據(jù)本段中的“A simple response will do，and its an especially bad idea to emphasize your reason if its costrelated.”可知，此處的標(biāo)題是：要附上簡短的解釋。B項(xiàng)意思吻合。16E根據(jù)標(biāo)題“不要改變決定”，以及下文提到反復(fù)改變決定會給新婚夫婦帶來不便。E項(xiàng)(一旦決定不參加婚禮，重要的是要堅(jiān)持這個(gè)決定)符合語境。
