45、s not true of larger companies that provide pest control services【答案】第1题:A第2题:D第3题:B第4题:C第5题:A第6题:A第7题:C第8题:C【解析】1.主旨大意题。文章首先提出了臭虫入侵纽约各大写字楼、电影院和商店的问题；随后通过实例对臭虫入侵给各大酒店带来的困扰和损失进行了详细介绍；最后文章指出臭虫的入侵在给各大酒店带来损失的同时却为 另外一部分的行业另外一些行业却来带了巨大的利润。因此A项最适合做文章标题。2.细节事实题。第三段: An employee first discovered a bedbug in

46、the 137-room hotel in 2003, and Mr. Tyler has since instituted a comprehensive bedbug detection program to find the blood-sucking insects before a guest does (2003年，一名员工在137间客房的酒店里首次发现了一只臭虫，之后泰勒先生制定了一个全面的臭虫检测计划，目的是在客人发现之前先发现吸血的昆虫)。因此选D:泰勒先生认为与臭虫斗争是当今酒店管理中不可避免的一部分。3.词义题。Killer出现在第二段的最后一句: It sounds l

47、ike a lot of money，but the value of a good reputation is infinite,” Mr. Tyler said, “Your biggest fear is that someone will get bitten and post something about it on an online travel site, and thatd be a killer (这听起来是很大的一笔钱，但是良好声誉的价值却是不可限量的， Tyler先生补充道，最让人担心的是有人被咬之后会到在线旅游网站上发表一些东西， 这将会是一种)。句子前半部分指出“

48、良好声誉的价值不可限量”而被咬的人在网 站上面发表的东西固然会对酒店的声誉构成损害，故可以推断出四个选项中与killer 意思最相近的是选项B (酒店对顾客吸引力的破坏)。4.细节事实题。第四段: However, he added, many customers cannot afford it and instead choose to rely on the vigilance of employees after an initial dog check comes up clean (然而，他补充说，许多客户支付不起雇佣臭虫搜寻狗 的费用，从而在首次雇佣臭虫搜寻狗之后会选择依靠工作人

49、员)，因此可知C项 “比较贵。哪怕是能负担得起,很多企业著也只会支付一次”。5.推理判断题。第四段: The costs of coping with bedbugs are significant, and they are not covered by most insurance policies because they are seen as a maintenance issue (应对臭虫的费用很高，并且大部分保险政策都不针 对与臭虫相关的问题，因为这些问题应该属于日常护理范畴), 由此推断A项 “保险公司通常不愿意为臭虫投保，因为他们认为臭虫的存在或不存在取决于主人如何清洁”正

50、确。6.推理判断题。根据题干关键词lose money定位至第六段: Businesses lose money when they have to interrupt operations (当需要暂停营业时，商家就会亏损)。题干问的是发现臭虫时，商家会亏损,除了。故选A “保险费率提高”。7.词义题。定位至第11段, Linda Develasco用一种臭虫搜寻小猎犬挣了很多钱，但是以前她只在住宅区提供臭虫搜寻服务，但后来很快就开始在办公区、零售商店以及电影院等场所提供臭虫搜寻服务。crazy出现在段尾。因此可以推断出她所说的“这太疯狂了”是因为臭虫出现的场所从住宅区扩张到办公区、零售商店

51、以及电影院等众多场所。8.细节事实题。最后一段: Exterminators are also enjoying a windfall after several years of declining revenue as customers cut back on pest control treatments to save money in the tight economy (在经历了几年的收入下降后，灭虫人员也获得了一笔横财，因为消费者为了在经济紧张的情况下节省开支而削减了害虫防治措施)。故选C。7. 填空题Dont try to use that printer.

55、你对我们的研宄很感兴趣。 是的，自从听说您要来北京后，我就一直期盼着与你见面。【答案】1.an2.Yes3.looking【解析】1.语法题。Such跟honor之间用不定冠词，因为honor以元音发音开头，故用an。2.语法题。当反意疑问句的前半部分是否定，后半部分是肯定时，如果事实是肯定，就用Yes，如果事实是否定就用No。3.固定搭配。look forward to:盼望，希望。句中用到现在完成进行时，故用looking。10. 单选题The museum library is being remodeled and all the furnitures are being replac
