【解析】
1.
解析 句意为:当现代家庭和办公室内打印机的使用意味着将几乎没有什么东西是手写的时候,人们就忽视了对钢笔的使用。many很多的;pleasant安逸的,舒适的;important重要的。这三项都与“Most people give little thought to the pens they write with”不符,也不符合现实。
2.2】 A
解析 look外表;表面;reason原因;value价值;advantage优点,长处。现实中人们仅为了追求外表好看而买钢笔。
3.3】 A
解析 人们并不知道为什么一旦使用钢笔时就感到别扭。once一旦……,是表条件含义的连词。其余三项都不能体现购买钢笔的初衷与使用钢笔的现实之间的矛盾。
4.4】 D
解析 句意为:只要遵循以下几点,你将发现买一支你喜欢的钢笔并不是什么难事。convenient方便的;practical现实的;实际的;strange奇怪的。
5.5】 B
解析 句意为:首先,手中握着一支钢笔感觉比较舒服时,使用起来也很容易。
6.6】C
解析 作者认为钢笔的粗细程度是决定舒适程度的最重要的特征。take拿走;find发现;determine决定;seek寻求;搜索。这里是分词作后置定语,修饰characteristic。根据句意,应选C项。
7.7】 D
解析 句意为:如果你有一只较大的手,并且手指较粗,你或许倾向于用一支粗大的铅笔。与前文相对。
8.8】 A
解析 参见上一题解析,此处选A。prefer喜欢,偏爱,倾向,符合题意。
9.9】 B
解析 前文提及钢笔的粗细,后文说的是其长度问题,应是顺应承接的关系,表示钢笔的长度也影响使用的舒适度。其余三项明显不能表示这一点。
10.0】 C
解析 句意为:钢笔太长的话就很容易让人感到顶端过于沉重,写字时也不稳定。承接上句,论述的是钢笔的长度问题,所以其他三项不正确。
11.1】 B
解析 change改变;allow允许;reduce减少;降低;press挤压。根据常识我们知道一支好的钢笔其笔尖应该是能让墨水流畅地流出。只有B项能够表达这一层意思。
12.2】 C
解析 这里考查代词的用法。this指代前文提到的“...,the writing point of the pen should ____ the ink to flow evenly(均匀地) while the pen remains in touch with the paper.”。
13.3】 D
解析 smooth平滑的;流畅的,这里用来形容钢笔的功用,与整个第三段的内容是一致的。rough粗糙的;大致的。
14.4】 A
解析 作者认为一支好的钢笔其笔尖应该灵敏到一旦笔尖离开纸面就控制住墨水的流出,而不是肆意的滴落在纸上。prevent阻止;free使自由;释放;protect保护;remove除去;移开。
15.5】 C
解析 句意为:笔尖若是不能阻止墨水的流出就会使墨水“滴”在纸上。这与上句意思是一致的。只有C项符合句意。
16.6】 B
解析 该题考查连词的用法。as当……的时候。根据常识我们知道:只有在(写完字后)收笔时笔尖不再滴墨(才是一支好笔)。这与上一空含义一致。
17.7】 D
解析 meanwhile同时;generally一般地;afterwards后来;finally最后。文中作者论述了钢笔的一系列优点,D项表示该段论述的最后一方面。
18.8】 D
解析 作者认为一支好用的钢笔能够弥补拙劣的书法。show up显摆;炫耀;differ from与……不同;break down垮台;破裂;坏掉;compensate for补偿,偿还。
19.9】 A
解析 attention注意;support支持;respect尊重;admission许可。作者认为优美的书法足以引起人们丝毫不亚于对印刷文字的关注——好的书法一样能够使人给予重视。
20.20】 B
解析 此题考查短语的意义辨析。at most至多;for example例如;in brief简言之;on purpose故意地。从后文看,作者是以签名为例来说明书法的重要性。

Taiwan will finalize a plan by the end of June to open up the island to tourists from mainland China, though no date has been fixed for formal implementation(执行), an official at the Mainland Affairs Council(MAC)said on Monday.
The official said the reports in the local press on Monday that the MAC has decided to postpone its plan to announce the implementation of the new plan on July 1 were inaccurate.
The official said cooperation between different organizations was still underway.The United Daily news quoted the director of the MAC’s legal affairs department, Liu Thehsun, as saying the plan to open up to mainland tourists would not be implemented as scheduled due to a lack of cross-strait communication.
Although relevant authorities, including the Bureau of Immigration and the Tourism Bureau, have complete reports on how to deal with visitors from mainland China, the decision has been taken not to press, ahead with announcement of the plan’s implementation on the first of July, Liu was quoted as saying.
The report also said that while no restrictions would be imposed on the mainland visitors in terms of age or residence in China, the visitors would need to hold a steady job or have more than 50,000RMB(about 6,000, U.S.dollars)in bank savings before they would be eligible(有资格的)to visit Taiwan.
In addition, Taiwan bound mainland tourists would have to come as part of a tour group and would be allowed to stay a maximum of 10 days each time.
The number of mainland tourists allowed to enter the island would also initially be limited to 1,000 people a day.
Although most people from Taiwan are free to travel to China, only a small number of mainland Chinese have been able to visit the island due to restrictions imposed by both sides of the Taiwan Strait after the end of a civil war in 1949.
