解答 61.stuck 考查过去分词.it与stick之间是动宾关系,用现在分词被动式构成分词独立主格结构.
62.by 考查介词.介词by引出被动语态中的执行者.
63.or 考查连词.whether…or…意为"是…还是…",是固定搭配.
64.where 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词instances表示"模糊化的地点",在从句中作状语,用关系副词where.
65.to complain 考查动词不定式.此处动词不定式to complain作定语修饰reason.
66.unpleasantness 考查名词.plenty of后接名词,形容词unpleasant的名词是unpleasantness.

70.Simply 考查副词.become是动词,要用副词修饰,形容词simple的副词是simply.

2.阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式.
    A company in the USA is paying its workers to sleep more.Staff at the insurance company Aetna will get 300 a year (61)added(add) to their salary if they get at least seven hours of sleep a night.They will get just over a dollar for each night they sleep over seven hours.The idea behind this plan is employee(62)performance(perform).Human resources  (63)officials(official)say workers will work more effectively if they have slept well.A workforce that is more rested means the company will perform (64)better(well).Staff can either record their sleep automatically,(65)using(use) a wrist monitor,or record by hand how long they have slept every night.
(66)Anumber of studies warn that not sleeping enough can affect our ability to do our job.The American Academy of Sleep Medicine said that the average worker in the USA loses 11.3working days of productivity a year from a lack (67)ofsleep.This  (68)costs(cost) companies about 2,280foroneworker.Itestimates(估计)thattheUSeconomyloses63.2billion a year mainly (69)becauseworkers do not sleep more than seven hours a night.A 2015study by the Rand Corporation showed that staff members sleeping less than seven hours per night  (70)were found(find) far less productive than workers having eight or more hours of sleep.
12.The term"to extend an olive(橄榄) branch"means to make an offer of peace or reconciliation(和好).This term has Biblical(圣经的)origins,coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood is over is an olive branch brought back to the ark(方舟) by a dove.Olive branches were also symbols of peace in Ancient Greece and Rome,and they continue to be used in various works of art that are meant to suggest peace.
Some people have suggested that the olive was a very deliberate and well-considered choice as a metaphor(比喻)for peace,because olive trees famously take years to mature.War is typically very hard on the trees because people cannot take the time to nurture them and plant new ones.Therefore,the offer of an olive branch would suggest that someone is tired of war,whether it is an actual war or a falling out between friends.
In Ancient Greek and Roman times,people would offer actual olive branches.In Rome,for example,defeated armies traditionally carried olive branches to indicate that they were giving in,and the Greeks used them into weddings and other ceremonies.In the modern era,the branch is usually metaphorical,rather than actual,not least because the plants can be a bit difficult to obtain.
Many people agree that peace negotiations at all levels of society are a good idea.Between nations,obviously,it is important to extend an olive branch to ensure mutual safety and to help the world run more smoothly.This act can also be important on a personal level,as resolving conflict and learning to get along with others is viewed as an important life skill in many cultures.
At some point in their lives,many people will be advised to extend an olive branch to settle a dispute or resolve an issue.Some people believe that it takes an immense amount of courage to take this action,as it often comes with an admission of wrongdoing and regret.

19.The new high-speed railway line between Urumqi,capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region,and Lanzhou,capital of Gansu province,has cut train travel time by half to less than 12hours.
The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival.
"For the first time,I feel home is not that far away after all."said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high-speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family.
The 35-year-old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago,and he has now settled in Urumqi.
The 1,776-km line,which passes through Qinghai province and is the country's first high-speed railway to be built in a high-altitude region,came into service on Dec 26.
"We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season."Liang said."Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes,so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip."
More than 600,000passengers traveled on the line during its first month,and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high-speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.
The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang's development.All passengers trains will gradually shift to the new link,leaving the old one to be used for goods.As a result,Xinjiang's annual goods ability could reach 200million metric tons from the current 70million.
The line passes through areas that experience high winds,and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the bone-dry sands of the Gobi Desert.
The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad,said Ma Xizhang,director of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway project's management department in Xinjiang.

16.How would you like an easy way to earn $2,500?All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals.There's a catch,however.You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week.There are no books or television or radio for amusement.You can't leave until the week is up.And a camera will be recording your every move.

    To Rob's surprise,quite a few people answered his advertisement.He had interviewed and selected Eric,a 24-year-old restaurant worker,and Para,a 24-year-old chemist.The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide.A camera would record their experiences,which would take place in an art museum.
    The week was long and difficult.They slept on a hard wooden floor.They couldn't stand up without hanging their heads.They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe.Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain.There were no sinks,mirrors,or toothbrushes in the cage.Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage.Visitors who came here were warned,"Do not feed the humans."
    Finally it was over,and Para and Eric appeared from their cage.They had survived the week,and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands.When Rob Thompson opened the cage,Eric came out,changed into clean clothes,and ate a chocolate bar right away."It's great to be able to stand up,"he said.Para just changed her clothes and left.After a week of visitors and reporters watching her,she didn't want to talk to anyone.
