解析细节理解题。

根据文章第一段“Thiswas1962,andIwouldnotliveinaplacewithanairconditionerforanothertenyears.”可知,那年是1962年,作者在没有空调的房子里又生活了十年。

解析推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段最后一句“Finally,onthefourthday,theheatwavebroke.”以及第二段第一句和第三段第一句可知,他们反复看同样的影片,就是为了在电影院避暑。

故B项正确。

B.Aseniorwhowantstogotocollege.

C.Alibrarianwhohasaneasyandsatisfyingjob.

答案C

解析推理判断题。

根据文章第四和第五段得知,白天忙忙碌碌、野心勃勃、心理压力大等因素会影响睡眠,而没什么野心、活动量小的人可能会睡得更香。

综合考虑,“一个有着既轻松又令人满意的工作的图书管理员”应该是相对压力小,工作强度也不大,因此睡眠应该最好,故答案为C项。

11A.full-timeB.hard

C.easilyD.part-time

答案D

解析联系全句可知,作者在此谈论尽早做自己喜欢做的工作的必要性。

A项有一定干扰性,从第二段作者所举的例子（一个想成为艺术家的人）我们可以看出,作者认为无论是兼职,还是不拿报酬做自己喜欢的工作都是有必要的。

12A.unableB.able

C.unwillingD.anxious

答案A

解析从下文的“Well,Ijustdon’thavetheworkrelativeto（physics）.Ishouldgiveuponit...”得知,阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦起初没能做物理教授。

13A.scienceB.maths

C.physicsD.money

答案C

解析relativeto在这里是“与……有关”的意思。

此处指爱因斯坦找不到物理方面的工作。

14A.SoB.Instead

C.ThereforeD.And

答案B

解析instead在这里意为“反而”,表示转折,符合上下文意思。

15A.employedB.regarded

C.workedD.recognized

答案A

解析whileemployed等于whilehewasemployed。

C项有一定干扰性,但在时间状语从句或条件状语从句中,只有从句的主语与主句主语一致,且谓语含有动词be时,才可以省略主语和动词be。

C项显然不符合这一规则。

16A.inventionsB.discoveries

C.successesD.foundations

答案C

解析thesuccesses指前面提到的爱因斯坦的两篇著名论文。

17A.cityB.factory

C.universityD.company

答案C

解析从前文我们得知,爱因斯坦起初想做物理教授,没有哪个大学想要他。

现在他出名了,没有哪所重点大学不想要他。

18A.knownB.makingaliving

C.leadingalifeD.chosen

答案B

解析从后文“supportingyourselfbywaitingtables”可知,此处指做饭店服务员来谋生。

19A.thinksB.imagines

C.hopesD.decides

答案C

解析who在这里代表awaiter,本句的意思是“不要把自己看成一个希望有一天能成为艺术家的饭店服务员”。

显然作者认为,你应该把自己看成艺术家,而不是服务员。

20A.manB.woman

C.personD.work

答案D

解析that在这里指“认为自己是一个希望有一天能成为艺术家的饭店服务员”;work指“做艺术家”。

本句的意思是“那只能让你喜欢的工作（做艺术家）留在遥远的将来”。

21A.anartistB.awaiter

C.awaitressD.apainter

答案A

解析rather在这里表示否定,相当于instead。

注意本句的结构:

supportingyourselfbywaitingtables为状语,thinkyourselfasanartist...andpaint,ordraw为句子的主要部分,and前后的动词为顺接关系,因此A项为最佳选项。

22A.impossibleB.possible

C.importantD.lucky

答案B

解析一星期做24小时的服务员也许就能挣到维持生计的薪水。

possible在这里表示“可能的”。
