考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Theirsoldiersjumpedfromacanoeandfacedusdownwithfiercecrying，stickingeyesandmuchnoiseofsticks.Theylaidapalmleafonthegroundand”可知，毛利部落的勇士们从独木舟上跳下来，用狂热的叫喊、瞪大的眼睛和巨大的棍棒晃动声将作者一行人镇住了，他们还在地面上放置一片棕榈叶。这些都是毛利人对游客表示欢迎的方式。故选C。2．C 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Thentheypulledourdinneroflamb，beefandvegetablesoutoftheground.Ithadbeenslowcookedintheheat...aMaoritraditionknownasahangi”可知，在地下土炉中烹制食物是毛利饮食传统，这被称为hangi。3．B 考查推理判断。根据第四段的“Thejourneybacktothehotelwasaloneworththeeffort，ourelderMaoridriverbeingdeservingofhisowntelevisionshow...”可知，作者一行人的回宾馆之旅让他们难忘：有表演天赋的毛利老司机让作者他们一路欢歌，故选B。4．A 考查主旨要义。作者作为赴新西兰的旅游团的队长，在旅游中有幸接触毛利文化，这给作者留下了深刻的印象，故A项“体验毛利文化”作标题最佳。二、单句语法填空1．Ithinkthatthehousewillbe________(suit)fortheneedsofyourfamily.答案：suitable besuitablefor...“适合……”。2．It'simpossible________(evaluate)theseresultswithoutknowingmoreabouttheresearchmethod.答案：toevaluate 惯用句型It's＋adj.＋to7\ndo。该句中it为形式主语，真正的主语为动词不定式，故填toevaluate。3．Heisunfortunatetohavehishouse________(burn)totheground.答案：burnt/burned burntotheground“全部焚毁”，burn和hishouse存在逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用过去分词作宾语补足语。4．Youmustbe________(absolute)silentorthebirdswon'tappear.答案：absolutely 此处应用副词修饰形容词silent，故填absolutely。5．YesterdayIwenttoseehim,only________(learn)thathehadgoneabroadtwodaysbefore.答案：tolearn onlytodo“结果却……”，在句中作结果状语，表示出乎意料的结果。6．Watchingthroughtheirwindows,thefloodvictimswereanxious________(wait)forrescuerstocome.答案：towait

主语she与follow之间为主动关系，故用现在分词following作状语。9．Iwouldliketoexpressmy________(appreciate)andthankstoyouall.答案：appreciation 由空格前的my一词可知，应填名词。10．Ineedtomakean________(appoint)withMiketodiscussthematter.答案：appointment makeanappointmentwithsb.“和某人预约”。三、完形填空。TheGiftattheParkingLotIneverthoughtIwouldbewritingaboutatriptotheconveniencestore.Itwasjustamonthaftermygrandmotherhad__1__andIdiduselessthingshopingtofilltheholeinmyheartandmakemeforgetthepain.Inthestore,IwasupsetbecauseIcouldn'tevenremember__2__IwenttheretobuysoIendedupbuyingsomething__3__.AsIwalkedoutofthestoretogetmycar,Iwas__4__angryateverythingthatwasgoingonaroundmewhichwasavery__5__feelingatthattime.Feeling__6__，mybeliefinGodwasbeginningtofade.Suddenly,awomandrivingrightbymysiderolleddownher__7__.“Excuseme,7\nexcuseme.”shesaidloudly.__8__shewasgoingtoaskformyparkingspot,I__9__pointedtomycar.“No,excuseme，”shesaidagain.Atthispoint,IfeltIhadno__10__buttoseewhatthis__11__ladywanted.AsIgotcloser,Irealizedthatshewas__12__somethinginherbag.Surprisingly,Iwas__13__withasenseofreliefwhileotherswouldbenervousinthissituation.Finally,she__14__meabooklet,whichread“WhatHopeforDeadLovedOnes？”“Maybeyouneedthis，”shesaidcalmly__15__awarmsmileonherface.However,__16__Icouldthankher,shewasgone.Ifeltasenseof__17__asIopenedthefirstpage.It__18__howpeoplepasson,buttheirspirit__19__withus.ThiswasthefirsttimesincemygrandmahaddiedthatIhadfeltherwithmeandIbegantofeelhopeagain.Itwasaunique__20__.And,I'llrememberitfortherestofmylife.【文章大意】
