8.A robot company wanted to test out a robot named Tony in Claire's house.(61)However,Claire didn't agree at first,especially as her husband would be away for some time.She (62)felt(feel)    alarmed at the sight of Tony because he seemed(63)more(much) like a human than a machine.He was tall and handsome although his facial(64)expression(express) never changed.
Tony promised to make her smarter and her home more elegant.Not(65)permitted(permit) to go out,Tony let Claire go into a jewellery store to buy a necklace alone.When the clerk was rude to her,she called Tony to help her out.(66)Unluckily( lucky),Gladys Claffern,(67)whowas a rich and powerful woman,saw the whole thing.It was awful(68)to be discovered(discover) by her.Gladys thought she was having(69)anaffair.Tony managed to fix it by holding a party successfully and made Gladys and other women envy Claire.
Though Tony was clever,he would have to be rebuilt because we couldn't have women falling (70)in love with machines.

分析 本文通过讲述Claire与机器人Tony 的故事,旨在说明那家机器人公司在Claire家里测试机器人Tony的原因是:他们不能让女人爱上机器,想重新组建机器人.

解答 答案:
61.However  考查句意理解以及副词    本句的意思是:一家机器人公司想在克莱尔家里测试一个叫托尼的机器人,然而,克莱尔起初不同意;根据句意可知,此处表达的是转折关系,由于此处之后有逗号,故用However.
62.felt   考查时态   根据上下文都使用了一般过去时可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事情,故用felt.
63.more  考查固定搭配   more…than意为:"与其说是…不如说是…";本句的意思是:因为他看起来更像人而不是机器;故用more.
64.expression 考查名词   此处用在though引导的让步状语从句中作主语,指的是:机器人托尼的面部表情;故用名词expression.
65.permitted    考查过去分词    此处在句中作原因状语,由于动词permit与其逻辑主语Tony构成的是被动关系,故用permitted.
66.Unluckily  考查句意理解以及副词   此处用来修饰的是后面的整个句子,表达的意思是:不幸的是;故用Unluckily.
67.who   考查关系代词    本句为非限定性的定语从句;由于先行词Gladys Claffern指人,在该从句中作主语;故用who.
68.to be discovered   考查固定句型结构    It is/was+adj.+to do  (做某事是…的);本句的意思是:被她发现是太可怕的,所以此处应使用动词不定式的被动语态;故用to be discovered.
69.an  考查固定短语    have an affair意为:有外遇;故用an.
70.in    考查固定短语   fall in love with意为:爱上,堕入情网;故用in.

点评 本题主要考查了各种语法在短文中的具体运用.做本题时,需要在正确理解短文的前提下,逐句分析句意以及所考查到的语法现象;因此在平时的学习中,应熟练掌握各种语法知识,其中包括词法,句法,各种时态语态以及虚拟语气等.

13.With the summer holiday just around the corner,it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations.Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket:
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts.During the peak season,the hotel and flight prices increase quickly,and you'll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists.(36)D
(37)A
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms.Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding.Stay with the locals.If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period,renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new?(38)EDuring your family trip,try new food where the locals eat.This will not just save money,but also provide you with a new and different experience.For smaller meals and snacks,avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
Don't hesitate to bargain
Tourist-heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything.Clothes,travel goodies,souvenirs,etc.are very expensive at these places.(39)F Bargain hard to get the best price.
Choose local transportation
(40)G Instead,take buses,railways or subways,which are always cheaper.If you are planning to stay for a while,you can consider renting a car.Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.

A.Save on hotels.
B.Surf the Internet while traveling.
C.Therefore,avoid buying anything there.
D.So it's best to find out when the off-season starts.
E.Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs.
F.For this reason,you shouldn't feel ashamed to ask for bargains.
G.As a tourist,avoid taking taxis whenever possible,since they are expensive.

20.Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks.Sometimes,the big animals harm or even kill villagers.(36)ASo,the Uganda Wildlife Authority has been giving people new tools to keep the elephants away:vuvuzelas,which became very popular in the South Africa World Cup.They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events to cheer for their teams.
(37)CWhen the elephants hear the unpleasant sound,they leave,and no one is harmed.
An official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority says vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants.That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack.So far,no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela.
(38)GThey have built beehives-houses for flying insects that sting(叮咬).They have hung ropes covered in spicy (辛辣的) oil.They have dug long,deep holes.And they have used guns,called A-K47s.(39)D But over time,the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun.They only look at the shooter and wave their ears.
Another official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority,Gessa Simblicious,says one elephant-prevention solution will not work everywhere in Uganda.And one day,elephants may get used to the vuvuzela noise,just as they do the sound of the A-K47.(40)F
  A.They are a real danger to people.
  B.The big animals are friendly to the local people.
  C.The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like.
  D.People shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant away.
  E.The elephants are cruelly killed in large numbers in Africa.
  F.But right now,vuvuzelas are an effective way to deal with a serious problem.
  G.Villagers have tried other ways to stop elephants from coming near farms and houses.
