68、 the lost hen. (在我成长的过程中，我家养鸡。在任何特定的时间，我们总是有十几只母鸡，每当有一只被鹰或狐狸或某种不明原因的鸡病夺走，我父亲就会替换掉这只没了的鸡)”可知，第一段讲“作者家会替换没了的那只鸡”，正好引出第二段“作者家会带回一只小鸡，并如何帮助新鸡融入鸡群的故事”，可得出第一段的作用是引出其他段落。故选C项。【57题详解】细节理解题。由第四段中的“My plane lands in Mumbai around 1:30 AM.

I doze on the drive

71、 through nighttime India, sometimes waking to look out the window (然后找到了一辆出租车，这辆出租车将带我离开城市数小时，前往位于偏远乡村的Ashram。我在驱车穿越印度的夜间路上打瞌睡，有时醒来向窗外望去)”可知，“作者在出租车上小睡了一会儿”正确。故选A项。(B)USING YOUR SCORPIO COOKER: USEFUL HINTSFollow these useful hints to obtain the best results when using your new SCORPIO cooker.

131、应该用动词become的一般过去式形式 became ；“众矢之的”可以理解为“批评的目标”，名词target意为“目标”，名词criticism 意为“批评”，“众矢之的”翻译为：the target of criticism ；表示“因为”应该用介词for，后面跟名词短语；表示“使用劣质面粉”应该用动名词的完成时having used the flour of inferior quality.故翻译为The bakery became the target of criticism for having used the flour of inferior quality.73. 去欧洲

133、时”是时间状语从句While you are travelling in Europe，由于主句主语为 tourists ，故从句中的主语和be动词可以省略，故翻译为While travelling in Europe, it is suggested that tourists (should) not go out alone at night.74. 消息传来，导演们计划拍摄一部纪录片以向身边的志愿者们表示敬意。（honor）【答案】Word came that the directors planned to make a documentary in honor of the vol
