1.下文中的their journey对做出正确选择作了提示,说明他们在旅途中。答案为A。
2. break中断。根据上文中的stopped可确定答案。当那些卡车司机和商贩在旅途中停下来进行短暂的休息时,他们喝点咖啡,吃点cheeseburger(放有干酪的肉饼)。答案为C。
3.这个句子的谓语动词用了现在完成时,since从此以后,常与完成时连用。从此以后他再也没关过门;ever曾经,常用于肯定句中,否定句是:He has never closed the door;later后来,常与一般过去时连用。答案为B。
4. mobile houses是一种用汽车装载的活动住房。for“为了”。a car park for mobile house为装载着活动住房的汽车提供的停车场。答案为D。
5.a 24-hour working trend二十四小时工作的趋向。下文的内容告诉我们,二十四小时工作已成为全球的趋向。而且,根据DC Hilton工作的性质,容易排除B、C和D项。touring business旅游事业;banking service银行服务业;delivering system邮递系统。答案为A。 
6.上文说明24小时工作成为一种趋向,很多行业开始整夜开放。A项performing“表演”;B项pretending“假装”;D项hesitating“犹豫”,均不合题意。答案为C。
7.根据下一段的内容可判断出is this really a good thing?是对二十四小时工作提出的质疑,所以两句之间是转折关系,要用But填写。Furthermore“另外”。答案为C。 
8.be growing concern about对……关心不断增加。人们越来越多地对不睡觉对社会所造成的长远危险予以关注。B项understanding“理解”;C项interest“兴趣”;D项sense“意识”。答案为A。
9.several几个。意思是:最严重的人为灾难发生在黎明前。而few和none都表示否定,all表示全体,都与短文内容不符。答案为B。 
10.stay awake保持清醒的状态。preserve“保护,维护”,后常接名词;become表示由不清醒向清醒变化的过程;maintain作系动词的意思是“维持”。答案为D。
