答案
36---55 BCADC ABBDC DBCBA DACAD
解析
36.A、C意思不符，可排除，learn可直接与Spanish相连，不能加his，故选B，意为“提高……水平”。答案为B。
37.in person意为“亲自”，是与后文中的“speaking on the phone”对照的。A项slowly“慢慢地”；B项in public“公开地”；D项carefully“仔细地，认真地”，均不符合题意。答案为C。
38.“have (some/no) difficulty (in) doing sth”是固定用法，意为“做某事有/没有困难”。答案为A。
39.根据上下文，可知此处应为一个转折关系的连词，用“however”。答案为D。
40.句子主、谓、宾俱全，欠缺修饰词，seldom是“很少”，just是“仅仅、只是”，even表“甚至”，只有still“仍然”，符合题意，表达与上句相反意思。答案为C。
41.从下文中Andy把起飞时间弄错了，说明Andy没有理解the clerk说的话，从上文他能面对面和别人交流而不能通过电话，我们可知道应是called。答案为A。
42.also是“而且，还，也”，是指the clerk除了告诉Andy他问的问题外，还告诉他一些另外的信息。答案为B。
43.时间段+earlier表示提前多长时间，before是在某个点时间之前，later，after不符合题意，答案为B。
44. 因为leave是短暂性动词，用进行时态代替过去将来时，而其他A、B、C则不可以。答案为D。
45.这句话意思为：因为Andy三天后就要离开，他不浪费一点时间。A项take time“不紧不慢”；B项have time“有时间”；D项find time“找时间”，均不正确。答案为C。
46.Andy这样想时他还在西班牙，指的是从他的国家再次来到西班牙，故用come back。答案为D。
47.此处副词应修饰动词arrived，只能是“来得快”故用quickly。A项shortly“不久以后”；B项badly“严重地，恶劣地”；D项early“早的”，均不符合题意。答案为B。
48.从上句中他提前到达，表明Andy不喜欢“匆忙”，A、B不合语意，应排除，delay是“耽搁，推迟”并不能在文中体现。答案为C。
49.句意为让the clerk看他的票，他已有票，buy(买)order(定)不合题意，provide是“提供”，他并不是把票让给the clerk，故用present“向……显示……之意”。答案为B。
50.很容易看出，由于Andy的票已过期了，他却要找那架已飞走的飞机，他当然是astonished(惊奇的)故用with astonishment。答案为A。
51.应用时间状语，因为句意是说明时间。答案为D。
52.B意为“道歉”，不合题意，C为回答，而后边“Will I have…”是问句，用“回答”不合适，同样D为“要求”，而前边“But I /confirm/ied…”是叙述不合适。答案为A。
53.look是“神色”的意思。这儿指的是他吃惊的神色。A项experience“经历，经验”；B项expression“表达”；D项face，均不符合。答案为C。
54.我们已知Andy不想离开Spain，当他得知他还有三天时间时，当然高兴。答案为A。
55. plan是计划，而这一切在计划之外，是突发状况，flight是指乘飞机的旅程journey
指陆上的旅行，而Andy由于耽误了飞机，要在Spain呆上三天，不能说旅程，只能用vacation。答案为D。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
