30、mple，concludes that，as the English weather is not at all exciting，the obsession with it can hardly be understood.He argues that “To an outsider，the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it.” Simply，the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is

45、one of the best experiences in college or，easily，one of the worst.”可知，有个室友可能是大学最棒的经历也有可能是最糟糕的经历，故选E(这一切要看你怎么开始和室友保持友好关系)。2答案B解析根据上一句“Ive seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and，instead of talking to each other，the two start complaining about their roommates behind backs.

46、”可知选B，指的是如果互相在背后指责对方的话，那么这只会使你们越来越难堪、不开心。3答案G解析根据上一句“Dont put pressure on yourself or your roommate，especially when you first meet.”可知，第一次见面时，不一定就要成为好朋友，不要给双方太多压力，故选G(你是在交朋友，不要把室友吓跑)。4答案C解析根据本段主题“Ask before you take”及根据上一句“If you want to keep a relationship going，show your roommate that you have res

52、详细记叙，说明了残疾人生活的不易。1A.curious about Binterested inCaware of Dcareful with答案C解析根据空格处后面的“the problems faced by disabled people”可知，活动的目的是为了让我们更加“了解(be aware of)”残疾人面临的问题，故选C项。2A.cure BpreventCadopt Danalyze答案C解析根据下文“Some members. chose.Others wore.”及第二段最后一句中的adopting a wheelchair可知，作者被要求“挑选”一种残疾，而不是“治愈、阻

53、止或分析”，故选C项。3A.instead BstrangelyCas usual Dlike me答案D解析根据下文可知，作者选择了使用轮椅，故选D项。4A.learning BworkingCsatisfying Drelaxing答案A解析根据后句“I had never considered before how.”和本段最后一句的感慨可知，作者认为坐在轮椅上就是一次“学习”的经历，故选A项。5A.convenient BawkwardCboring Dexciting答案B解析根据第二段的全段描述可知，活动前作者从未意识到使用轮椅有多么的笨拙，故选B项。6A.height Bforc

54、eCskill Dweight答案D解析根据“as soon as I sat down”提示，轮子动起来发生的时间是当作者一坐下去的时候，显然能让轮子动起来的不可能是作者的身高、力量或技巧，而是作者的体重，故选D项。7A.locked BrepairedCpowered Dgrasped答案A解析后句Then提示，本句是对上句轮子为什么会转动的解释，显然因为轮子未被锁住，故选A项。8A.hands BfeetCkeys Dhandles答案B解析根据下文“费了好长时间我才让金属footrest (脚蹬)归位”可知，这时的作者不知道把自己的脚放在哪里，毕竟是健康人在模拟残疾人的生活，故选B项。

55、9A.place BactionCplay Deffect答案A解析作者是健康人，他/她刚坐到轮椅上不会驾轻就熟，所以即便将脚蹬归位这样简单的动作，竟然用了很长时间。put.into place把归位，符合语境。10A.operation BcommunicationCtransportation Dproduction答案C解析作者参加的是使用轮椅几小时的体验活动，而轮椅是一种交通工具，故最佳答案是C。means of transportation 交通工具，运输方式。11A.exploration BeducationCexperiment Dentertainment答案C解析根据第一段

57、4A.shown BpushedCdriven Dguided答案B解析上文的“adopting a wheelchair”提示，作者坐着轮椅，自然希望被人推，而不是开车接送或引导，更不会是被人带领四处逛逛，故选B项。15A.realized BsuggestedCagreed Dadmitted答案A解析通过四下张望，“我”自己得搞定这件事是作者意识到的，故选A项。16A.lifted BturnedCpressed Dseized答案B解析上句中提到作者意识到没人帮他/她推轮椅，只能自己搞定这件事，故选B项。turn转动。17A.path BpositionCdirection Dway答

58、案C解析轮椅是一种交通工具，而交通工具最重要的是掌控方向，这是生活常识，故选C项。18A.easy BheavyCmajor Dextra答案A解析上句提到，拨动沉重的轮子的时候，作者的手开始疼，可推断拨动轮椅不是件容易的工作，故选A项。19A.forgotten BrepeatedCconducted Dfinished答案D解析由后面内容知，作者要感慨残疾人的不易，自然要到体验结束，而不是实验被遗忘、重复或很快实施的时候，故选D项。20A.weaknesses BchallengesCanxieties Dillnesses答案B解析几个小时的残疾体验，对于作者无论在生理上还是心理上都是一
