题目内容
13．Since people are fond of humor，it is as well in conversation as _______ else．（ ）| A． | anything | B． | something | C． | anywhere | D． | somewhere |
分析 既然人们都很喜欢幽默，那么同在其他任何场合一样，幽默在对话中也很受欢迎．
解答 答案：C．
当句中出现as…as…"像…一样"时，考生应该确定前后两个部分是可比较的，也就是词性或者结构必须相同．这里还原整句it is as welcome in conversation as it is in…else．这里的…必须跟前面的conversation词性统一，再结合句意"那么同在其他任何场合一样"；anything无论什么东西，随便什么东西；something某物，某个东西；anywhere在任何地方，随便哪个地方；somewhere在某处，在某地．else表示"其他的，另外的"，anywhere else表示"其他的任何地方"，表达肯定意义，所以选择C项．
点评 本句的难点在于分清as…as…"像…一样"这一结构，以及根据in conversation 来判断anywhere的选择．

1．Section B
Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box．Each word can only be used once．Note that there is one word more than you need．
How would you like to wear the same underwear （内衣裤） for weeks？Owing to the work that has gone into developing intelligent materials，this may not be as（41）unpleasant as it sounds．Self-cleaning clothes have now been created，and these new materials provide（42）superior resistance to dirt as well as water．As a result，they require much less cleaning than traditional materials．
The creation of self-cleaning clothes provides an example of how nature helps scientists develop better products．This self-cleaning nature is known as the"lotus effect"．The name comes，of course，from the lotus leaves，which are famous for growing in muddy lakes and rivers while remaining almost（43）miraculously
clean．By observing nature，scientists are （44）applying the qualities of the lotus leaves to the materials they have engineered．Because of this，some remarkable new products have been （45）launched．Among them are special windows that are resistant to dirt and water．A special （46）coating on these windows not only prevents dirt from sticking to their surfaces，but also allows dust to be easily washed off by the rain．In fact，these new windows have already been（47）fixed to some cars．Even when traveling at high speed through rain，these cars never have to use their windshield wipers （雨刮器）．
Although we have already seen some practical applications，even more dramatic （48）advances will be made in the future，and they will，perhaps，change our world completely．Undoubtedly，technology is an important development，and it will have an even bigger （49）impact on our lives．
