D.to
解析:選A 根據(jù)上文“all the nice-looking __7__ cups were taken”可知,此處指他們都有意識(shí)地去拿精美的杯子。 go for sth. 意為“選擇某物,努力爭(zhēng)取某物”,符合語(yǔ)境。故答案選A。

C.workmates
D.friends
解析:選A 句意:生活就是咖啡,職業(yè)、金錢(qián)、社會(huì)地位就是杯子。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空格處應(yīng)填的詞應(yīng)該是和“jobs”,“money”并列的詞。A項(xiàng)意為“地位”。故答案選A。
16.A.create
B.support
C.contain
D.own
解析:選C 句意:生活就是咖啡,職業(yè)、金錢(qián)、社會(huì)地位就是杯子,這些都是容納和包含生活的工具。由并列連詞“and”可知,空格處應(yīng)填一個(gè)與“hold”意思相近的動(dòng)詞。C項(xiàng)意為“包含”。故答案選C。
17.A.damage
B.determine
C.change
D.increase
解析:選C 根據(jù)上文教授的比喻可知,杯子提升不了咖啡的品質(zhì),職業(yè)、金錢(qián)和社會(huì)地位也決定不了、改變不了生活的質(zhì)量。C項(xiàng)意為“改變”。故答案選C。
18.A.come
B.stop
C.have
D.fail
解析:選D 句意:如果我們僅僅把注意力放在杯子上,我們就不能享受杯子里的咖啡了。D項(xiàng)意為“不能,失敗”。故答案選D。

20.A.quiet
B.speechless
C.a(chǎn)mazing
D.reasonable
解析:選B 根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境可知,教授的一席話點(diǎn)醒了這些畢業(yè)生,所以他們處于一種無(wú)言以對(duì)的尷尬境地。B項(xiàng)意為“無(wú)語(yǔ)的”。故答案選B。

語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。“staycation”是入夏以來(lái)迅速走紅的英語(yǔ)新詞,它成為眾多旅游雜志和網(wǎng)站的熱門(mén)話題。
1.a(chǎn) 空格后的word為可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)形式,new的讀音以輔音音素開(kāi)頭,且此處表示泛指,意為“一個(gè)單詞”,故填a。

3.or 空格前的“a vacation very close to your own home”和空格后的“simply staying at home during your vacation”之間是選擇關(guān)系,故此處應(yīng)填連詞or。

5.compared 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處應(yīng)用分詞形式作狀語(yǔ)。compared to ...意為“與……相比”,常在句中作狀語(yǔ)。此處表示“與過(guò)去幾年相比”,故填compared。
6.during 此處表示“在他們傳統(tǒng)的暑假期間”。during 意為“在……期間”,符合題意。根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第二句中的“during your vacation”也可推知答案。
7.interesting 此處應(yīng)用形容詞作表語(yǔ),主語(yǔ)為“some places”,此處指一些地方比另一些地方更有趣,適合待在家里。故填interesting。
8.expensive 空格處應(yīng)用形容詞作表語(yǔ),意為“如今所有東西都很貴”,故填expensive。

10.unemployment 此處意為“在失業(yè)率和油價(jià)都很高的經(jīng)濟(jì)困難時(shí)期”,unemployment為名詞,意為“失業(yè)”,符合語(yǔ)境。
