1.语境题.根据下文中的谓语动词felt以及下一句的开头部分Buttoday,可以判断出该句的事态应该为过去时,而前半句又为句中的时间状语,可以确定正确答案为ago.

2.语境题.本题首先需要对该空所在的句子进行语法分析.the__2__thatbuildingscanbegoodforpeopleandtheenvironmentwillbeincreasinglyinfluentialinyearsto__3__.注意到that引导的从句部分为一个完整的句子,正句话并不缺少任何成分,所以可以确定该从句应为同位语从句.考察四个选项,可以用来作为同位语从句先行词并且意思通顺的只能是idea,表示观点,看法.

3.词汇搭配题.首先分析这句话theenvironmentwillbeincreasinglyinfluentialinyearsto__3__.注意到其时态为将来时,而to__3__在文中为不定时作定语,修饰years.而选择的词汇应该符合该句将来时的事态并且意思通顺.tocome的意思为即将到来的.

4.语境题.本题第一眼看无法确定该选择哪个答案,但继续读下去可以发现,本段的结构为总分结构,即本句话是该段的总结句.分析下面的内容可以发现,该段主要是讲述关于室内装修的,所以该空应该选择indoor.

5.词汇搭配题.本题需要根据主语和宾语,考察选项,确定正确的谓语动词.分析句子The“energy-efficient”sealedcommercialbuildingsconstructedafterthe1970senergycrisis__5__indoorairqualityproblemscausedbymaterialssuchaspaint,wallcoveringandcarpet.主语为The“energy-efficient”sealedcommercialbuildingsconstructedafterthe1970senergycrisis,宾语为problem,其大致意思为某事...了问题.根据中文的表达习惯,应为某事暴露问题.reveal的意思为露出,揭示,显示.此处引申为暴露的意思.

6.词汇搭配题.本题四个选项,downto的意思为下至,nextto的意思为接近,靠近,与…邻近;次于,nearto的意思为接(靠)近;几乎要.分析该句话we’vebeenfocusingonthesematerials__76__tothemolecules.解题的关键在于对materials和molecules的理解,前者的意思为材料,后者的意思为分子.materials比molecules所表述的概念更大,所以应该选择downto.

7.语境题.本题的解答有赖于对本段大意的准确把握.本段的主题是讨论装修材料所存在的问题,该问题对人类和植物的安全造成危险.所以本题应该选择safe.

8.词汇搭配题.本题需要根据主语和宾语,考察选项,确定正确的谓语动词.本句话suchaspaintsthatreleasesignificantly__8__amountsoforganiccompounds.为一个插入语结构.该句话的主语为paintsthatrelease,宾语为amountsoforganiccompounds.即涂料...了有机混合物的数量,考察四个选项,可以确定选择含有减少意思的reduce.

9.词汇搭配题.分析本句thatdon’t__9__thequalityoftheair,water,orsoil.that指代前面的materials,其意思为材料不会...空气,水和土壤的质量.考察四个选项,含有破坏意思的desttroy符合题意.

10和11.语境题.分析本句话Ultimately,__10__,ourbasicdesignstrategyisfocusednotsimplyonbeing“lessbad”butoncreating__11__healthfulmaterials.注意到本句话中的关键结构not...but...,其意思是不仅仅是...而是...10题考查两句话之间的逻辑关系.分析句子后,可以发现句中的not...but...,not...部分是对前一句的总结,but...是本句所要重点表达的意思.注意到not...部分中的notsimply,可以确定两个句子的关系应该是转折的关系,所以应该选择however.在本结构中notsimplyonbeing“lessbad”是对上一句意思的总结,有本句话中的关键词notsimply以及后半句可知,本句话和前一句应该是转折的关系.11题的解答可以用到标志词法,分析not...but...结构可知,两者结构是并列的,意思是递进的.即根据lessbad,推出11应该选择completely.

12.词汇搭配题.本题考查固定搭配either...or...

13.词汇搭配题.本题考查固定搭配asamatteroffact表示infact.

14.词汇搭配题.分析本句theworld’slargestcarpetmanufacturerhasalready__14__acarpetthatisfullyandsafelyrecyclable.主语为theworld’slargestcarpetmanufacturer,宾语为acarpet.其意思为世界最大的地毯制造商...地毯.考察四个选项,由句中的hasalready,可知排除researched,因为它是持续性动词.sketched意思不符,constructed搭配不对,所以正确答案为表示开发意思的developed.

15.语境题,词汇搭配题.本题的解答需要综合考虑本句和下一句话的意思.注意到下一句中的But和current,可以推断本句话应该是表示发生在现在以前的事情.考察选项四个词汇与介词out搭配构成的词组的意思,startout的意思为出发,动身;开始时打算.pullout的意思为拔出,离开,度过难关,恢复健康.lookout的意思为面朝,朝外看;留神,提防;照料,照看;搜寻,找出.makeout的意思为书写,填写,拼凑,进展,说明,设法应付,理解,辨认出,做,了解.因此可以确定应该选择start.

16.语境题.分析本句Butourcurrentindustrialsystemsare__16__causingtheseconditions,whetherwelikeitornot.本题的解答有赖于对后半句的意思的理解.后半句的意思为无论我们喜不喜欢它.由此可以推断出引起的这些情况是必然发生的,考察四个选项,可知应该选择含有不可避免地意思的inevitably.

17和18.语境题,词汇搭配题.分析该句话So__17__ofsimplytryingtoreducethedamage,weare__18__apositiveapproach.17题所考查的是表示两个分句之间逻辑关系的连接词.由前一句中的reducethedamage和后一句中的positiveapproach,可知两者的意思是相反的,所以应该选择insteadof,其意思为代替.18题主要考察词汇的搭配.分析后半句,主语为we,宾语为approach,approach作名词时的意思为方法,途经.根据含义表达的习惯,应该选择含有采纳,采用意思的adopt.

19.语境题.分析本句话We’regivingpeoplehigh-quality,healthfulproductsandanopportunitytomakechoicesthathavea__19__effectontheworld.根据我讲过的标志词法,注意到句中的and,所以and前后的两个分句的意思是相近的.前半个句子的意思是我们正在给人们高质量,健康的商品.分析and后面的半个句子,在句中含有一个定语从句thathavea__19__effect,先行词为choices,换句话说这个定语从句是修饰choices的.所以空格19所填入的形容词所表达的意思应该是和前半个句子是相近的,考察四个选项,应该选择含有有益的意思的beneficial.

20.词汇搭配题.首先考察四个选项,full,total和complete都是用来修饰数量多的，而entireentire是指一样东西的全部，也就是说整体.注意到本文的最后一句Portland,SeattleandBostonhavesaidtheywanttobegreencities.Chicagowantstobethegreenestcityintheworld.说明并不是全部城市都采取了这个方法.所以应该选择entire表示整个城市.
