(29)Nowandthen

(30)combinewith

(31)generally

(32)characteristics

(33)phenomenon

(34)naked

(35)relatively選詞填空：

36.N.saw第一空顯然缺少謂語，優先考慮動詞，結合語義并根據LateNovemberandDecember可以推出應選擇過去式動詞，故答案鎖定saw.

37.F.decades根據two，首選復數名詞，結合語義，“forthefirsttimeinthetwodecades”,二十年來頭一次。

38.H.globally句子為主系表結構，不缺主要成分，所以首選副詞和形容詞，根據語義，ever表示“一直以來地、向來地”，“十一月向來是全球范圍內最溫暖的一個月。”

39.D.chances缺少主語，并且謂語是are，所以首選復數形式的名詞，結合前文Enjoythesnownow,“享受現在的雪吧”，因為“時機是好的”。

40.J.occurs空格前方有主語，且是單數形式，而后面由when引導的時間狀語從句的時態是一般現在時，所以主句謂語鎖定第三人稱單數形式的動詞，只能選擇occurs.

41.A.specific空格左為定冠詞the，空格右為名詞，中間只能選形容詞，選擇“特定的”符合語義。

42.B.associated空格左為be動詞，右邊為介詞with，中間只能是形容詞或動詞的過去分詞形式，beassociatedwith表示“與.有聯系”，符合原意。

43.G.experiences空格左為主語southernAfrica，空格內應該為動詞的第三人稱單詞形式，結合語義，選G，“南非經歷著干燥的天氣。

44.M.reduce空格左為情態動詞，空格內必須為動詞原形，填reduce“減少”符合原題。

45.K.populations空格與左邊的largefish共同構成動詞support的賓語，只能選一個名詞來作為名詞詞組，故選K，“大量的魚群”。段落匹配：

46.I，根據關鍵信息“figuresofspeech”定位到I段，原文中該詞組前面的形容詞是“irrelevant”，和句中的“improper”為同義替換關系。

47.C，根據關鍵信息“flaws”可定位至C段，同義替換關系句“mymotherandherredpenshowedmehowdeeplyflawedaflawlessessaycouldbe.”

48.K，該句意思為“為了達到完美，作家應該反復地修改他的文章”，對應K段中的“Perhapsthepointofwritingtheflawlessessaywasnottogiveup,buttoneverwillinglyfinish.”

49.E，該句大意為“某些時間段里，作家可能會感覺什么都寫不出來了”，對應E段中的“Iwasnotabletoproduceanythingfor3years.”。

50.B，該句意為“當老師認為作者的文章沒有瑕疵時，他并不驚訝”，對應B段的“soIwasonlyslightlytakenabackthatIhadachievedperfectionatthetenderageof14.”該句中的“takenaback”意為“驚訝”。

51.F，該句意為“對別人的演講品頭論足總比自己做一個更棒的演講容易”，對應F段的“Itisathingofnogreatdifficulty,”accordingtoPlutarch,“toraiseobjectionsagainstanotherman’sspeech,itisaveryeasymatter;buttoproduceabetterinitsplaceisaworkextremelytroublesome.”。

52.A，該句意為“作者視其母為最嚴格和最細心的
