分析 直到河里所有的鱼都死了村民才意识到污染问题的严重性．

解答 答案：C
not until 位于句首用半倒装，not…until…"直到…才…"，它的倒装是把not until一起放到句首，再加上until后面的句子，然后跟倒装部分（比如借助助动词be或do、does之类的，也可以提前情态动词）+not后面的部分．原句应该是 The villagers didn't realize how serious the pollution was until all the fish died．直到河里所有的鱼都死了村民才意识到污染问题的严重性．

17．Tristan da Cunha，a 38-square-mile island，is the（61）farthest（far）inhabited island in the world，according to the Guinness Book of Records．It is 1，510 miles southwest of （62）its（it）nearest neighbor，St．Helena，and 1，950 miles west of Africa．Discovered by the Portuguese admiral （葡萄牙海军将）of the same name in 1506，the island belongs to Great Britain and has（63）a population of a few hundred．
Coming in a close second-and often（64）wrongly（wrong）mentioned as the most distant land-is Easter Island，（65）whichlies 1，260 miles east of its nearest neighbor，Pitcaim Island，and 2，300 miles west of South America．
The mountainous 64-square-mile island（66）were settled（settle）around the 5th century，supposedly （据说） by people who were lost at sea．They had no（67）connection（connect）with the outside world for more than a thousand years，giving them plenty of time（68）to build（build）more than 1，000 huge stone figures，（69）called（call）moai，for which the island is most famous．
On Easter Sunday，1722，however，settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name．Today，2，000 people live on the Chilean territory （智利领土）？They share one street，a small airport，（70）and a few hours of television per day．
18．Traditionally，fashion retailers（零售商）had four collections per year，one for each season but nowadays companies can design and manufacture （大量生产）clothes in as little as four weeks．Fast fashion means that the latest designs that appear at the fashion shows in Paris，London，etc．can be copied and shown within a month．
The advantages of rapidly changing fashions are clear．Shortening the product life cycle means if a design doesn't sell well within a week，it is taken out of the shops and a new design is chosen．This is good for the manufacturer as it means vaster sales，and good for the customer as they can keep up with fast-moving trends cheaply-and every time they visit the store，there is something new．
However，there are also a number of disadvantages to this approach．One of them is the theft of ideas．Fashion houses spend a lot of time and money on new ideas，only to see these ideas copied for free by fast-fashion companies．Perhaps the greatest concern is the influence on the environment of wasted clothes．Buying twelve new sets of clothes rather than four means that more clothes will be thrown away．In addition，with fashions changing so quickly，cotton growers need to produce more cotton more cheaply，and that means using more chemicals．
At the other end of the fashion industry is designer clothing．At the same time as fast fashion is taking off in the West，Asian consumers are buying more and moer expensive，luxury brands．Many buy branded clothes just to show that they can afford them but others choose them for quality．What's your choice？We'd like to hear your comments about the fashion industry today．

15．There are plenty of things you can feel positive knowing about Garfield-the cat who loves lasagna，hates Mondays and adores a teddy bear named Pooky．But last week，without warning，there rose a strange and sudden debate around a question about the famous cat that even creator Jim Davis needed to weigh in on：Is Garfield a boy，a girl，or no gender（性别）at all？
The argument appears to have begun when writer Virgil Texas came across a 2014Mental Floss interview with Davis where he described his tabby creation Garfield as"not really male or female or any particular race or nationality，young or old．"
In response to the quote（引用），Virgil wrote on Twitter："FACT：Garfield has no gender．This．Is．Definite．"So sure was he of Garfield‘s true gender status that Virgil even took it upon himself to update the Garfield character Wikipedia page with the information．
But it was quickly clear that not everyone agreed with Virgil‘s edits，and thus began a war over the Wikipedia entry edits．Some mentioned that Garfield is male．Others wrote that it shouldn't matter at all whether Garfield is male or female．Washington Post reported that the battle took place over 60hours and eventually ended when Wikipedia shut things down by locking the page．
It was a statement that soon appeared to have been made in hurry as Jim Davis indeed soon joined the debate，shutting everything down in one line to Washington Post："Garfield is male．"The 71-year-old cartoonist also pointed out that Garfield has a girlfriend，Arlene，and claimed that his 2014quotes had been"taken out of context"．"I've always said that I wanted to work with animals because they're not regarded as being any particular gender，race，age or ethnicity，"he said．"In that sense，the humor could be enjoyed by a broader group．"

24．What does the passage mainly discuss？A

2．In 1967，a 20-year-old student at Syracuse University became the first woman to officially participate in the Boston Marathon．Fifty years later，Kathrine Switzer crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon wearing the same number．
Switzer's marathon in 1967became historic because she was the first woman to complete the all-male race as an official participant．She registered as"K．V．Switzer"to hide her sex．A few miles into the race，an official tried to remove Switzer from the race．"Naturally I turned my head around quickly and looked square into the most unpleasant face I'd ever seen．A huge man with bared teeth was set to pounce（猛扑），and before I could react he grabbed my shoulder，screaming，'Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers!'"she wrote in her memoir （回忆录）．Switzer finished the race in four hours and 20minutes，but would later be disqualified and officially forced to leave from the Amateur Athletic Union．
Plenty has changed in runnin8since 1967，thanks to Switzer's efforts．Since 1972，women are welcome in the Boston Marathon and ocher major races．On Monday，the 70-year-old finished the Boston Marathon only a little slower，in 4：44：31．Her number was retired after the race-just the second number that the marathon has retired．Before her start，she was given the honor of firing the gun for the women's top runners．
"In 1967，few would have believed that marathon running would someday attract millions of women，become an appealing event in the Olympics and on the streets of major cities，help transform views of women's physical ability and help redefine their economic roles in traditional cultures，"Switzer wrote．"We've come a light year but we still have a long way to go．"
