解析:选A 从下文来看,他们不担心失去工作是由于没有规章制度。thanks to“由于,幸亏”,符合语境。regardless of“不管,不顾”;according to“根据”;owe to无法表示“由于”,应使用owing to。13.A.money B.timeC.pleasure D.stress解析:选C 这句话使用了强调句型。matter在此处作动词,指“要紧,有关系”。对Pleasure小镇上的人来说,快乐(pleasure)是最重要的。14.A.strongest B.slightestC.most D.smallest解析:选B 从上文的描述及下文来看,Pleasure小镇上的人只注重追求快乐,全然没有一点儿要求进步的想法。strongest“最强大的”;slightest“最少量的”;most“最多的”;smallest“最小的”。15.A.old B.newC.best D.same解析:选A Pleasure小镇上的人没有上进心,所以,按照逻辑来推断,他们所用的电脑应该是Pressure小镇的人淘汰下来的。16.A.books B.workC.money D.drugs解析:选D be addicted to“对……上瘾”。通过上文的描述可以判断,Pleasure小镇的人不愿工作,不愿读书,不爱赚钱,据此可排除前三个选项。有些年轻人因为感觉生活没有意义而染上吸毒的恶习。17.A.pressure B.lifeC.pleasure D.money解析:选B 上文描述的是两个小镇的人截然相反的生活方式。结合下一句话中出现的life一词可确定本题的答案。18.A.improved B.failedC.succeeded D.lived解析:选B 从上文看,两个小镇的年轻人或游走在崩溃的边缘,或生活很茫然,几近失败。本句中的“But”标志着语意的转折。句意应理解为:但是,就在两个小镇的生活完全失败之前,一位名叫“理智”的圣人来到这里。19.A.content B.surprisedC.patient D.angry解析:选A be content with“对……感到满意”;be surprised with“对……感到吃惊”;be patient with“对……有耐心”;be angry with“因……而生气”。结合前文的描述,此处应理解为“Pressure小镇的人开始学着对自己所拥有的东西感到满足”,由此确定应选A项。20.A.took up B.put downC.pulled down D.set up解析:选C 两个小镇的人们决定取长补短,因此应是拆除(pull down)两镇之间的墙。take up“占据”;put down“放下,写下”;set up“建立,设立”。Ⅱ.语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。One morning, I was waiting at the bus stop, worried about __1__ (be) late for school.
