解析

61.下文中的their journey对做出正确选择作了提示，说明他们在旅途中。答案为A。62. break中断。根据上文中的stopped可确定答案。当那些卡车司机和商贩在旅途中停下来进行短暂的休息时，他们喝点咖啡，吃点cheeburger(放有干酪的肉饼)。答案为C。63.这个句子的谓语动词用了现在完成时，since从此以后，常与完成时连用。从此以后他再也没关过门；ever曾经，常用于肯定句中，否定句是：He has never clod the door；later后来，常与一般过去时连用。答案为B。64. mobile hous是一种用汽车装载的活动住房。for“为了”。a car park for mobile hou为装载着活动住房的汽车提供的停车场。答案为D。65.a 24-hour working trend二十四小时工作的趋向。下文的内容告诉我们，二十四小时工作已成为全球的趋向。而且，根据DC Hilton工作的性质，容易排除B、C和D项。touring business旅游事业；banking rvice银行服务业；delivering system邮递系统。答案为A。 66.上文说明24小时工作成为一种趋向，很多行业开始整夜开放。A项performing“表演”；B项pretending“假装”；D项hesitating“犹豫”，均不合题意。答案为C。67.根据下一段的内容可判断出is this really a good thing?是对二十四小时工作提出的质疑，所以两句之间是转折关系，要用But填写。Furthermore“另外”。答案为C。 68.be growing concern about对……关心不断增加。人们越来越多地对不睡觉对社会所造成的长远危险予以关注。B项understanding“理解”；C项interest“兴趣”；D项n“意识”。答案为A。69.veral几个。意思是：最严重的人为灾难发生在黎明前。而few和none都表示否定，all表示全体，都与短文内容不符。答案为B。 70.stay awake保持清醒的状态。prerve“保护，维护”，后常接名词；become表示由不清醒向清醒变化的过程；maintain作系动词的意思是“维持”。答案为D。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“DC Hilton was one of.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

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。
