9、选项A.inadequateB.impatientC.impossibleD.inevitable【答案】第1题:D第2题:A第3题:B第4题:B第5题:A第6题:D第7题:D第8题:B第9题:B第10题:D第11题:A第12题:B第13题:C第14题:C第15题:B第16题:C第17题:D第18题:D第19题:B第20题:D【解析】1.考查动词辨析。联系下文可知客户在抱怨排队时间长。A选项warning“警告”； B选项thinking“思考”；C选项asking“请求”，因此D选项正确。2.考查语境理解。由空格前，联系第一题“Passengers were complaining abou
10、t the long waits at baggage claim（乘客们在抱怨行李提取处等待时间太长）”，空格后“the executives increased the number of baggage handlers.（行政人员增加了行李搬运工的人数。）”可知，空格后是对空格前做的回应。B选项In fact“事实上，实际上”；C选项In theory“理论上”；D选项In turn“轮流，依次”，都不符合上下文语境，因此A选项正确。3.考查语境理解。根据下文“the average wait fell to eight minutes, well within industry st
11、andard.（平均等待时间降至8分钟，完全符合行业标准。）”可知这项计划奏效了，等待时间下降了。因此B选项正确。4.考查逻辑关系。根据上文“the average wait fell to eight minutes, well within industry standard. （平均等待时间降至8分钟，完全符合行业标准。）”和下文“the complaints persisted.（人们的抱怨仍在继续）”可知空格处填的词应该表示转折。A选项So表原因；B选项But表转折；C选项Or表并列；D选项And表并列，因此B选项正确。5.考查动词辨析。“（ ）, the airport execu
12、tives undertook a more careful analysis.”意为“因为机场管理人员进行了更仔细的分析”。A选项Puzzled“困惑”；B选项Scared“害怕”；C选项Delighted“高兴，愉快”；D选项Relieved“解除”。因此A选项正确。6.考查固定搭配。It take sb some time to do sth意为花费时间做某事，没有It spend sb some time to do sth这个说法，spend的用法是sb spend some time (in) doing sth，它的主语必须是人；cost的用法是sth cost sb +金钱；n
13、eed的主语一般是人，不用it作形式主语。因此D选项正确。7.考查短语辨析。根据上文“They found that it took passengers a minute to walk from their arrival gates to baggage claim and seven more minutes to get their bags.（乘客从到达登机口走到行李认领处需要1分钟，取行李又需要7分钟。）” 和下文“roughly 88 percent of their time was spent standing around waiting for their bags.（
14、他们大约88%的时间是在站着等行李。）”可知上下文表示的意思是一样的，所以空格处应填一个表并列关系的短语。因此空格处应填“in other words”，因此D选项正确。8.考查短语辨析。A选项in spite of“不管，不顾”；B选项instead of“代替，而不是”；C选项by means of“依靠，借助于”；D选项because of“因为，由于”，句意：他们没有缩短等待时间，而是把到达门移到离主航站楼更远的地方。因此B选项正确。9.考查语境理解。句意：参考第48题，他们没有缩短等待时间，而是把到达门移到离主航站楼更远的地方。现在乘客们得多走六倍的路。投诉几乎为（ ）。从句意我们可以看出空格处应该为一个数值，选项中只有B选项符合，因此B选项正确。10.考查名词辨析。句意：这个故事表明，等待的体验只在一定程度上取决于客观等待的（ ）。A选项complaint “抱怨”不符合句意；B选项reach “范围”不符合句意； C选项feeling “感觉”与句中的体验相冲突；D选项length “时长”符合句意，因此D选项正确。11.考查逻辑关系。该句意为：被占用的时间（走到行李认领处）感觉比没被占用的时间（站在行李认领处）（ ）。根据上文中提到的，
