11、结构可知，此处所填词与下文中的luxury，five-star以及extravagant并列，修饰其后的名词，都暗示了拉斯维加斯各个场所的豪华与奢侈，四个选项中，B unparalleled符合句意。A unpopular意思相反，可排除。C unpredictable表示很多变，以至于使人无法预料将会发生什么，用法举例：unpredictable weather多变的天气。D unprofitable指没有利润的、无利益的，用法举例：He makes some unprofitable speculation他在做些无利可图的投机生意。A.everB.neverC.foreverD.over

13、hat可以引导宾语从句，在从句中通常充当宾语，用法举例：I wonder what he is writing to me about我想知道他要给我写信说什么。what也可以引导主语从句，但通常是主干的主语，用法举例：what she did is not yet known她干了什么尚不清楚。B where引导地点状语从句，用法举例：He knows where they are他知道他们在什么地方。D when引导时间状语从句，用法举例：Id like to know when theyll let him out我想知道他们什么时候放他。A.politicsB.economicC.cu

14、ltureD.entertainment解析：解题思路 上文中提到了拉斯维加斯的奢侈购物、豪华浴场及纵情娱乐。下文又谈到硬石咖啡厅，因此得知它不是政治、经济和文化中心，而应该是娱乐之都，故D entertainment符合题意。A.oldB.strangeC.newD.annoying解析：解题思路 本题承接上文，依然介绍拉斯维加斯作为世界娱乐之都的吸引人之处，故C符合题意，意为“它总是能提供一些新奇的东西”。A old与文章意思相反，可排除。B strange用法举例：He strayed about in a strange city他在一座陌生的城市里游荡。D annoying用法举例：

15、She found it really annoying not to be able to communicate with others她发现无法同别人交流真的很恼人。A.polishingB.layingC.handingD.standing解析：解题思路 本句介绍的是硬石咖啡厅为了吸引更多的游客所作的努力，从下文可知，硬石咖啡厅在装修，A polishing符合句意。B laying与up搭配，用法举例：They laid up a store of vegetables in the cellar他们在地窖里贮藏了蔬菜。C handing与up搭配，用法举例：Hand up an i

16、ndictment to the judge把起诉书呈交给法官。D standing up与题意无关，故排除。A.spreadB.increaseC.enlargeD.expand解析：解题思路 本句依然介绍硬石咖啡厅的修缮行动，它想为顾客提供机会来_人们对硬石餐厅的收藏品的形象。四个选项意思相近，都指“扩大”，但用法不同。C enlarge指(视野、场地等)扩大，用法举例：A good way to enlarge your vocabulary is to read a daily newspaper读报纸是扩大词汇量的一个好方法。题目中所提到的扩大，就是增加人们了解硬石咖啡厅收藏品的机会

24、加斯的机会”，下文谈到在拉斯维加斯“你不知道应该选择哪一个酒吧、旅馆或者温泉浴场”，这陈述的是一种事实，故D In fact正确。A和B都表示转折，这里不存在转折之意，可排除。C Therefore表示因果关系，不符合题意。A.satisfyB.complainC.careD.concern解析：解题思路 文章到此为止谈到的都是拉斯维加斯吸引人的地方，下文提到“你不知道应该选择哪一个酒吧、旅馆或者温泉浴场”，可知这是唯一让人不满意之处，会引起游客抱怨故B正确。A satisfy不与of搭配使用，通常作及物动词，意为“使某人满意”，用法举例：Nothing satisfies him；hes a

26、我们不知道该选择什么，但是仍然很_这里的生活。由上下文可知，游人很喜欢这里，所以此处想要表达的意思是此地的居民和你一样在尽情地享受，因此A enjoy符合题意。B、C和D表达意思皆相反。C bore用法举例：The boy bores me to death那个男孩把我烦死了。D abhor用法举例：People abhor cruelty to children大多数人痛恨虐待儿童。二、BSection Reading Comprehension/B(总题数：6，分数：60.00)BPart A/BDirections: Read the following texts.
