6.---What were you doing when I rang you this morning.
---I was occupied ______ the housework and kept my son occupied ______ his homework.(  )
A.at; doingB.with; doingC.at; to doD.with; to do

分析 --今天早晨我给你打电话时你在干什么?
--我在忙家务,让儿子做家庭作业.

解答 答案是B.本题考查occupy的介词搭配.occupy常见的短语有:occupy sb.with sth使某人忙于某事或be occupied with sth.忙于某事;occupy sb.( in )doing sth使某人忙于做某事或be occupied (in) doing sth.忙于做某事;根据句子结构和句意,第一空后接的是名词,用介词 with,表示"忙于家务";第二空表示"忙于做家庭作业",用动名词 (省略了in),所以答案选择B.

点评 介词辨析要在掌握各介词的基本用法和固定搭配的基础上结合语境做出符合逻辑、常理的推测.

16.[1]In ancient Greece,there was a great philosopher named Socrates. One day one fellow met him and said,"Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"
[2]"        ,"Socrates replied."Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test(三重过滤测试).
[3]"Triple filter?"
[4]"That's right,"Socrates continued."Before you talk to me about my friend,it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
[5]"No,"the man said,"actually I just heard about it and…"
[6]"All right,"said Socrates."So you don?t know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter,the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"
[7]"No,on the contrary…"
[8]‘‘So,"Socrates continued,"you want to tell me something bad about him,but you're not certain it's true.You may still pass the test though,because there's one filter left,the filter of Usefulness.Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"
[9]"No,not really."
[10]"Well,"concluded Socrates,"if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful,why tell it to me at all?"
    LESSON:
[11]You can always participate in loose talks when you feel bored. But when it comes to your friends it's not worth it. Always avoid talking behind the back about your near and dear friends.

17.On May 23,1989,Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad,New Mexico.She hadn't seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks.Stefania was in a research program,and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms.In this experiment Stefania had spent 130days in a cave,30feet in depth.
During her time in the cave,Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice.Her living place had been very comfortable,but there had been nothing to tell her the time.She'd had no clocks or watches,no television or radio.There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.
The results were very interesting.Stefania had been in the cave for over four months,but she thought she had been there for only two.Her body clock had changed.She hadn't kept to a 24-hour day.She had stayed awake for 20-25hours and then had slept for 10hours.She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a result!She had also become rather depressed.
How had she spent her time in the cave?As part of the experiment she'd done some physical and mental tests.She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer.This computer had been specially programmed for the project.Whenever she was free,she'd played cards,read books and listened to music.She'd also learned French from tapes.
The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature.For example,the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep.However,people are affected in different ways.Some people wake up naturally at 5:00am,but others don't start to wake up till 9:00or 10:00am.This affects the whole daily rhythm.As a result,the early risers are at their best in the late morning.The late risers,on the other hand,are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!

A.she needed to record her life
B.she was part of a research program.
C.she wanted to experience loneliness

61.The text is most probably taken fromA.

D.A travel guide.
14.Group-buying in China
Modeled after US hot website Groupon.com,group buying websites are now popular in China.These websites use the power of group buying to get competitive discounts (打折)for a daily deal on some best stuff to do,see,eat and buy in the cities across China.Discounts are available within just one click.Zhao lei,a software engineer in Beijing,loves the one-hour lunch break at noon,as it is the best time for him to check"today′s special"at his favorite group buying websites.Sometimes he searches for great deals at directory sites devoted to the new shopping space.Zhao spends around 800yuan($117.65)on group buying every month,mostly to buy food coupons (优惠劵)for eating at some nice restaurants and occasionally to find something fun to do."I love group buying.In addition to the competitive discounts it offers,it helps me get something fun,exciting and new,and such surprises give me a reason to try something new,"he said.When he finds a really good bargain,he will send the link to friends or colleagues through MSN,QQ,or e-mail,or share the information at some social networking websites.In doing so,he often gets a certain cut off the price.At some sites,buyers are invited to leave notes about what they want to buy and the website will consider it if similar applications(申请)reach a certain number.That is how Zuo got her digital camera after waiting for two months."It is cool.I want to buy a new digitgal camera for my trip to Switzerland this winter,but I never expected such cheap prices!"Zuo said.

11.China's top labor official said the country is planning to push back the age at which workers can retire.
Yin Weimin,minister of human resources and social security,demonstrated that we did not put a timetable on the move when he spoke about it during a forum at the weekend.
"Delaying the retirement age is a very complicated issue and we will study it according to the situations of population and employment and consider different groups of people,"Yin said.
He noted that  hikes  in the retirement age have been brought in by many countries and can be a good way to deal with an aging population and ensure the healthy and stable development of social security.
The life expectancy of Chinese people is now 73years and is expected to rise to 74during the next five years,he said.
Nearly three out of 10Chinese people will be older than 60by 2040,according to a United Nations forecast.
The retirement age in China currently is 60for men and 55for female civil servants and 50for female workers.
The idea of delaying the retirement age is being widely supported by government officials,while many laborers and non-government employees were less enthusiastic about the prospect of working for longer.Currently,they have to pay into their pension plans for at least 15years before they can retire.
Chen Xianlian,a female worker at a motorcycle parts manufacturer in Chongqing municipality is among those who would like to see the retirement age left as it is."I have to do lots of tough and repetitive work every day and I feel very tired after my working day,"the 41-year-old said."All my colleagues are discussing the government's possible move to lift the retirement age.None of us wants to work any extra years."
University graduates also fear that any rise in the retirement age could limit their employment opportunities.

18.Three men were travelling across the desert when their car broke down.There were no other traffics,so their only hope was to walk.
Before they set off,they looked around in the car for useful things to take with them.One of the men took a bottle of whisky.Another took an umbrella.The third unscrewed a door from the car and carried that.
After they had been walking for almost a day,they came across a camel caravan travelling towards them.
"Let's try to join the caravan,"one of the men said."It's going the wrong way but we'll be safer than if we keep on alone across the desert."
The other s agreed,so they asked the leader of the caravan for permission to join it.
"You can join the caravan only if you answer three questions,"he said.He pointed to the first man's bottle."What is that and why are you carrying it?"he asked.
"It's a bottle of whisky.I decided to carry it with me so that if I feel miserable and want to give up,I can get drunk,cheer myself up and then keep on walking."
"Very sensible,"the leader of the caravan said.Then he pointed to the next man and his umbrella.
"It hasn't rained in the desert for many years,"he said."Why are you carrying an umbrella?"
"I don't want to get heat exhaustion,"he replied."The umbrella will give me shade from the sun."
"Very sensible,"the leader of the caravan said.He pointed to the third man and his car door."And why are you carrying a car door?"he asked him.
"I thought that if I got too hot I could open the window and let some air in,"he explained.
