解析:

21.解析:根据下文“I was waiting for my drink”可确定用while引导时间状语从句,表示“在……的时候”。

22.解析:loneliness孤独。根据下文“I saw their bodies, but couldn’t feel their souls”可判断出作者当时的心情是孤独的。pain痛苦;sadness悲伤;fear害怕。

23.解析:根据前面两个句子的意思可判断出后一句表示原因,解释为什么只看见他们的身体,感觉不到他们的灵魂的原因。

24.解析:Net网络。根据下文中的computer可推断出人们沉溺于网络中,他们的灵魂属于网络。

25.解析:根据上文中的computer可判断出这个人坐在电脑前。

26.解析:从下文中“He was chatting online”和“he was playing a computer game”可以看出这个人在忙着。

27.解析:at the same time同时。根据并列连词and可判断出这个人一边网上聊天,一边打电脑游戏。first of all首先;just then就在这时;by that time到那时为止。

28.解析:surprised吃惊。看到那人一边聊天,一边打电脑游戏,自然会令人吃惊。delighted欣喜;frightened害怕。

29.解析:again再一次。再一次与Steve交谈。

30.解析:to speak to that computer geek与not a word came out of his mouth是转折关系。

31.解析:三番两次地与别人谈话而没有反应,自然会引起不愉快的情绪。

32.解析:leave sb. alone的意思是“别打扰(管、理、惹)某人”。因为Steve沉溺于网络中,当作者把手放在电脑屏幕上时,他非常恼火。

33.解析:raise one’s head抬起头。根据下文“saw nobody showed any interest”可判断出作者抬起头来向四周看了看。

34.解析:from then on从那时起。上文讲述了作者试图与别人交谈,但没有得到别人的反应,这时,他意识到人们都沉溺于网络中。at that moment那时;in all总共;above all最重要地。

35.解析:be interested in对……感兴趣。tired of厌烦;careful about对……仔细;trouble by被……烦恼。

36.解析:从上文“I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people”可知,人们对与电脑建立关系感兴趣。

37.解析:imagine想像。宾语为the future of human beings,对未来常常是一种想像。

38.解析:instead of代替。与机器分享生活代替了与人们分享生活。

39.解析:realize意识到。由于作者陷入对未来的担忧中,没有意识到咖啡是坏的。

40.解析:just as就像……一样。Steve没有注意到靠近他的人与作者没有意识到咖啡是坏的,都是因为沉浸在别的事上,两件事是非常相像的。

(注意:每题答案不超过10个单词)

Last year I worked in Nepalfor three months. When I had a few days off, I decided to go into the jungle(丛林). I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.

We started our trip at six in the morning with two elephants carrying our things. It was hot, but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find tigers. We climbed onto the elephants’ backs to see better. However, it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the daytime.

Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We moved nearer and found a dead deer. This was the tiger’s lunch! Suddenly, I started to feel very frightened.

Then the tiger jumped out suddenly, about five hundred kilos and four meters long. It caught Kamal’s leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly ran away to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep!

     Question:What is more astonishing than a 60-ton whale on a
flatbed truck being driven down the street?
     Answer:A 60-ton whale on a flatbed truck exploding and rai-
ning blubber( fat of whales) all over the sidewalk.
    That's what happened in Taiwan recently,when a dead sperm
whale being shipped to the Halobios Research Centre for an autopsy
(尸体解剖) developed an extremely bad case of gas and blew up
before it reached its destination.
     The whale was found alive on a Taiwan beach last weekend,
and died shortly after it was discovered. Since the 56-foot whale was
the largest whale ever beached on Taiwan's shores,scientists wanted
to study it and perform an autopsy for educational purpose.
      Obviously,too much time passed between when the animal died
and the time it was set to be moved to the autopsy location,because
it had already started to go bad. When things rot,they give off gases
as a by-product. In the whale's case,the gases were trapped in its
belly. The pressure inside the rotting creature grew so much that it
popped like an over-filled balloon. Unfortunately,it was on a truck in
the middle of the city of Taiwan at the time ;cars and shops lining the
street were covered with whale bits and juices,much to their owners'
discouragement.
      According to news reports,traffic was tied up for hours while of
ficials tried to clean up the streets.
     Newspaper editors worldwide were probably smiling to them-
selves,since they had a ready-made headline; several reports about
the incident were titled " There  She  Blows ! " after the famous line
from the book Moby Dick.
1. The purpose of the question at the beginning of this news report  is to ___.
A. explain the reason
B. sell newspapers
C. attract readers
D. give an immediate answer
2. The whale's explosion was the result of___.     
A. pressure from gases building up in the creature as it began to rot
B. the long transport of the creature from the beach to the centre
C. the extremely busy traffic in the streets it passed by
D. the quick process of rotting of the animal
3. What is the correct order of the incidents?
        a. The whale was set to a flatbed truck.
        b. The whale was discovered.
        c. The whale exploded.
        d. The whale died.   
A. b;c;a;d                        
B. d;c;b;a
C. b;d;a;c                        
D. d;b;a;c
4. What do we know from the last paragraph?
A. Some newspaper editors were laughed at.
B. Moby Dick is the name of a woman writer.
C. All the newspapers reported the story under the same title.
D. The title" There She Blows ! " is taken from the book MobyDick.
