[单选题]In the last sentence, the word "bust" most probably means ______.

正确答案 ：A

the upper part of one's body

解析：解析：应该正确理解出现本词汇的最后一个句子“A few even accepted commissions to make busts of prominent citizens.”B选项的意思为“自画像”，和C以及D的意思与句子的语境意义不符。本句话的意思为“一部分木雕师甚至接受任务给名人做上半身塑像”。

[单选题]Which of the following statement is TRUE according to this passage?

正确答案 ：D

Not only foreigners but also native people wanted to book rooms for Games.

解析：解析：A和B选项与事实不符，属于错误答案；C选项也被否定，原因是文中说北京饭店并不接受提前这么长时间的预订，而只是记下预订人的姓名。D选项可以在文章中找到出处：“... the hotel had already received 50 to 60 such phone calls from would-be game-goers gambling on the result．Domestic callers have mainly come from the southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian.”

[单选题]The passage suggests that the early shops for making tools were ______.

正确答案 ：A

not very sophisticated

解析：解析：本题的依据句是“At first，these articles were whittled with a knife，but when pioneer craftsmen set up their primitive shops most of them were fashioned on a lathe--a machine which holds an object and rotates it while it is being shaped by a tool.”在这里，A选项的not very sophisticated 意思为“并不复杂，是简单的”，对应原文中的primitive(原始的，简单的)。其他选项的内容属于无关信息。

[单选题]He was in a hurry and left things in a real ______.

正确答案 ：C

mess

[单选题]Mrs. White's husband tried to ______.

正确答案 ：C

stop her from buying unnecessary things

解析：解析：注意题干上的名词：Her husband在文章中出现的地方，从而可以很容易地找到本题地依据句“Her husband tried again and again to persuade her to give it up，but she just wouldn't listen.”本句话的主要意思为丈夫不让她为了中奖而购买不必要的东西，并不是不让她去商场。所以B选项错误；A和D选项内容在文中没有出现，属于无关信息。

[单选题]Science is still ______ of the causes of many kinds of cancer.

正确答案 ：A

ignorant

解析：解析：ignorant可以指“无学识的，愚昧的”，还指“不知道的”；unconscious意为“失去知觉的，不省人事的；无意识的”；conscious意为“有知觉的，意识到的”；informed意为“获悉，告知”。

[单选题]She got a ______ job while she was waiting to go to the university.

正确答案 ：C

temporary

解析：解析：本句的后半句话给出厂足够的信息，等待上大学之前找的工作肯定是“临时的”(temporary)。

[单选题]Which of the following can we infer from the passage?

正确答案 ：C

The supermarket might just play a trick so customers should be more cautious.

解析：解析：本题也是一个推理题，由本实例说明商场会玩一些小把戏促销，所以消费者应该对此多加小心不上当。其他的选项说法没有足够的理由在任何情况下都成立。

[单选题]Wendy: Have you been to the new bakery on the corner? Arthur: No, how is it? Wendy: It is heaven ! ______ !

正确答案 ：C

Their cakes are to die for

解析：解析：从对话语境和供选答案看，Wendy是想说“那里的蛋糕好吃得不得了”。符合习惯的表达只能是Their cakes are to die for!(to die for something = to be eager to have something)。

[单选题]According to the second paragraph, the 50 to 60 booking phone calls are from those who ______.

正确答案 ：C

believed that Beijing would be the winner

解析：解析：本题的依据句是“...，the hotel had already received 50 to 60 such phone calls from would-be game-goers gambling on the result.” gambling on the result在这里的意思是“算定了北京会赢”，所以他们提前预定宾馆房间。其他选项内容属于错误信息或无关信息。
