（分数：10.00）
A.begins
&inues √
&as
D.halts
解析：[解题思路] 本题位于文章的开头，要想获得解答本题的信息，需要从下文中寻找。下文提到“带给人快乐的度假胜地”和“引人入胜的景点和丰富多彩的活动，周围环绕着摩天大楼和壮丽的内华达沙漠”。这些都说明拉斯维加斯从过去到现在依然保持活力，故[B] continues符合句意。根据下文可知，拉斯维加斯并不是现在才成为度假胜地，故排除[A]。[C] ceas用法举例：Our factory has cead producing bicycles．我们厂已不再生产自行车。[D] halts用法举例：The plan for armistice talks was halted．停战谈判计划被迫中止。
A.unique √
B.unpleasant
C.discomforting
D.disconcerting
解析：[解题思路] 由空格后的and可知，空格处所填词应能和exhilarating构成并列关系，而且与exhilarating是近义词，即都是描述拉斯维加斯是令人向往的旅游胜地，故[A] unique符合句意。[B] unpleasant表达的意思相反，可排除。[C] discomforting用法举例：News of the earthquake makes us feel discomforting．地震的消息使我们感到忐忑不安。[D] disconcerting用法举例：He had a disconcerting habit of expressing contradictory ideas in rapid succession．他有一个令人惊讶的能够快速而连续表达对立观点的习惯。

&up
&am
&w
解析：[解题思路] 这里描述的是城市景色，[A] array有吸引人的一组或一群东西的意思，符合句意。本句表达的是无边无际的一排排多彩的景象。固定短语an array of意为“大量的，一系列的”，用法举例：a dazzling array of flowers绚烂的花簇。[B] group表示一组人
或一群人聚集在同一个地方，没有吸引人的意思。[C] team通常表示一起玩游戏或比赛的组。[D] row表示一排，用法举例：a row of hous一排房子。
A.unpopular
B.unparalleled √
C.unpredictable
D.unprofitable
解析：[解题思路] 本题位于第二段开头，根据句子结构可知，此处所填词与下文中的luxury，five-star以及extravagant并列，修饰其后的名词，都暗示了拉斯维加斯各个场所的豪华与奢侈，四个选项中，[B] unparalleled符合句意。[A] unpopular意思相反，可排除。[C] unpredictable表示很多变，以至于使人无法预料将会发生什么，用法举例：unpredictable weather多变的天气。[D] unprofitable指没有利润的、无利益的，用法举例：He makes some unprofitable speculation．他在做些无利可图的投机生意。
A.ever √
&ver
C.forever
D.over
解析：[解题思路] 从本句With引导的伴随状语可知，本句意为：你可以看出，这是个给你提供独一无二的体验的一座城市。因此[A] ever符合句意，用法举例：Have you ever been here?你曾经来过这里吗?[B] never用法举例：You never say the word you would．你从来不说你心里要说的话。[D] over表示结束或在……上方，用法举例：The meeting is over．会议结束了。

汉语拼音字母表顺序
D.when
解析：[解题思路] 这里需要填入一个连词，通过对后面的从句分析，得知宾语从句中缺少主语，四个选项中能作主语的只有[C]，故为正确答案。[A] what可以引导宾语从句，在从句中通常充当宾语，用法举例：I wonder what he is writing to me about．我想知道他要给我写信说什么。what也可以引导主语从句，但通常是主干的主语，用法举例：what she did is not yet known她什么尚不清楚。[B] where引导地点状语从句，用法举例：He knows where they are．他知道他们在什么地方。[D] when引导时间状语从句，用法举例：I'd like to know when they'll let him out．我想知道他们什么时候放他。
A.politics
&ic
C.culture
&ainment √
解析：[解题思路] 上文中提到了拉斯维加斯的奢侈购物、豪华浴场及纵情娱乐。下文又谈到硬石咖啡厅，因此得知它不是政治、经济和文化中心，而应该是娱乐之都，故[D] entert
ainment符合题意。
A.old
B.strange
&w √
D.annoying
解析：[解题思路] 本题承接上文，依然介绍拉斯维加斯作为世界娱乐之都的吸引人之处，故[C]符合题意，意为“它总是能提供一些新奇的东西”。[A] old与文章意思相反，可排除。[B] strange用法举例：He strayed about in a strange city．他在一座陌生的城市里游荡。[D] annoying用法举例：She found it really annoying not to be able to communicate with others．她发现无法同别人交流真的很恼人。
A.polishing √
B.laying
C.handing
D.standing
解析：[解题思路] 本句介绍的是硬石咖啡厅为了吸引更多的游客所作的努力，从下文可知，硬石咖啡厅在装修，[A] polishing符合句意。[B] laying与up搭配，用法举例：They laid up a store of vegetables in the cellar．他们在地窖里贮藏了蔬菜。[C] handing与up搭配，用法举例：Hand up an indictment to the judge．把起诉书呈交给法官。[D] standing up与题意无关，故排除。
A.spread
B.increa
&large √
&pand
解析：[解题思路] 本句依然介绍硬石咖啡厅的修缮行动，它想为顾客提供机会来______人
们对硬石餐厅的收藏品的形象。四个选项意思相近，都指“扩大”，但用法不同。[C] enlarge指(视野、场地等)扩大，用法举例：A good way to enlarge your vocabulary is to read a daily newspaper．读报纸是扩大词汇量的一个好方法。题目中所提到的扩大，就是增加人们了解硬石咖啡厅收藏品的机会，所以[C]是正确答案。[A] spread通常指某事物扩展影响更多的人，通常是疾病、革命等抽象事物，用法举例：This dia is spreading fast．这种病正在迅速蔓延。[B] increa通常指数量的增加，用法举例：The population incread dramatically in the first half of the century．人口在上半个世纪急剧增加。[D] expand指的是向四周扩展、发展，用法举例：Metal expands when they are heated．金属遇热膨胀。

B.stuffed √
C.began
D.went

amputation A.world
&
&wd √
账簿设置情况 D.city
解析：[解题思路] 上文中提到这里“已经塞满了奇特的娱乐场和旅馆”，stand out意为“引人注目”，所填词应当表达林立的高楼的意思，故[C] crowd正确，表示从群体中脱颖而出。[A] world表述的范围太大。[B] center和[D] city与前面塞满不呼应。
A.funded √
B.founded
C.found
D.supported
解析：[解题思路] 本句继续介绍位于市中心的综合设施。它是由私人______建筑项目，[A] funded表明是由私人投资的，句意通顺，符合题意。[B] founded是found的过去式，通常表明创立某个组织团体。用法举例：Why did．Jesus found the Catholic Church?耶稣为什么创立圣教会呢?[C] found是find的过去式，表示“找到，发现”，不符合题意。[D] supported是support的过去式，表示“支持，供养”，用法举例：Her father supported her until she got married．她父亲抚养她直到她结婚。
