What would life be like without commas (逗号)? It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence.
Here’s another example: Tom said Sarah stole the cake. Here, Sarah is the thief. But add a pair of commas, and Tom becomes the thief: Tom, said Sarah, stole the cake.
The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing. Yet, the comma came from oral speeches. Long ago, most people could not read. They listened to the news or stories told by the people who gave speeches. The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence. When reading, the speakers knew where to stop and take a breath.
In writing, commas are like shining red lights on the road. They require that you wait a moment before continuing. And don’t add a comma when you feel like it. There are rules that people shall not break. Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes.

In 2016, I suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD) a form of depression(抑郁症) that is found to make people feel low in the UK between September and April. During that cold and wet period, I got comfort in books.
Books have been used by many to reduce depression. I lose myself into them as thirstily as usually get my morning coffee. Each Christmas, I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness, such as Jane Eyre. Sometimes, to escape from the cold, I run back to the heat that I am used to, so I will read a lot of books set in Africa.
It became important for me to find a way to escape my sadness in the world of books. And isn’t that what art and literature is for? According to JJ Bola, the author of No Place to Call Home, “The world can get you so down that you think you’re the only person going through what you’re going through. But then you read and you realize that you are not alone that if someone else has gone through it and survived, then maybe you can, too.” It is this survival that the reader looks for, that is, the understanding that the winter is not so long after all.

George Daniels lives in London. He is a watchmaker. His work continues the tradition of the English watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today this tradition is almost dead.

That the Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a ￡20 million project to save it has proved to be a great success.The tower,which was on the edge of collapse,has been straightened by 18 inches,returning it to its 1838 position.
“It has straightened a little bit more than we expected,but very little helps,”said Prof.John Burland,the only British member of the rescue committee.“The tower is still very slightly moving towards being upright.”
The tower,which has been leaning almost since building work first began in 1173,was closed to the public in 1990 because of safety fears.The 183-foot tower was nearly 15 feet off vertical and its structure was found to have been weakened by centuries of strain(作用力).
Prof.Burland said it could have collapsed “at any moment”.However,it took nine years of quarrelling before any work was done.The last attempt at straightening the tower was carried out.Concrete(混凝土) was poured into the foundations,but the result was that the tower sank further into the soil.
The straightening work involved digging out around 70 tonnes of earth from the northern side of the tower,causing it to sink on that side.Before the digging started,the tower was fixed with steel ropes and 600 tonnes of lead weights.
However,halfway through the project,concerns at the ugliness of the lead weights led to their removal and the tower leaned greatly.The weights were hurriedly reattached.One night,the tower moved more than it had averaged in an entire year.The tower’s stonework has also been restored.
The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989,killing four people.Experts suddenly realized that the tower at Pisa,which was similarly built and on the same sort of earth,could do the same.

I’ve spent over a year in India,and in those 365 plus days,I’ve learned a lot about getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated,particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力车) drivers,but that doesn’t mean those are bad ways to travel,as long as you know what you’re doing.Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi,India,and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺诈).
Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are,if you arrive in Delhi by plane,as soon as you make it through customs,you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhi airport,be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport,and the other is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.
Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities,in part because it’s how the locals often travel.Auto-rickshaws are more common,but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees,depending on the distance.
If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals,take a public bus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.They are,however,very cheap.A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees,as long as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded,try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.
The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable,between 6 and 22 rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English,and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.
26．The author is trying to 　　　 in Delhi through this text.
A．give some advice of travelling B．expect us to travel around
C．show his/her experiences D．explain the difficulties of travelling
27．To avoid being cheated,you ought to 　　　 if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.
A．pay more to the drivers to keep safe B．show your ticket to the driver
C．go to a police-run booth D．go out of the airport
28．The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to 　　　.
A．save some money B．enjoy the comfortable trip
C．gain a unique experience D．help the local rickshaw drivers
29．What can we infer from the passage?
A．You won’t have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.
B．It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.
C．A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.
D．You’ll have to speak English if you travel around in India.
30．Which may be the topic that follows?

Is there something strange high up in the world’s tallest mountains? If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?
No one knows. This mystery (谜) has puzzled the world for years.
In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints (脚印) in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don’t walk without shoes in the snow!
In 1906, other climbers saw more than footprints. Far away they saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As they watched, it ran very quickly.
Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the “snowman” walk slowly across the snow, far below him.He said it looked like a very large man.
From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. His pictures showed clearly that the snowman walked on two legs, so it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape (猿) man? The mystery grew! And the mystery keeps growing. Some day we may find out just what it is that makes the large footprints.

The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed.The next morning,when the owner got up,he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag.He woke his wife up and said angrily,“What a fool!Your forgetful grass isn’t useful at all.”

There is a very special wolf that lives in Africa.They are actually called the African wild dogs,or painted dogs.
These animals live in open woodlands, or in the plains of Africa. Today, however, most of the animals can be found in eastern or southern Africa. These animals are beautiful. They have rounded ears instead of pointed like most dogs, and they have four toes on each of their four feet, also a unique characteristic because other dogs have five. Their fur is always different from each other. The fur is usually a combination of black, brown, red and white, and sometimes even yellow. No wonder they’re called the painted dogs.
The African wild dog is a very social animal. They live in groups and have numbers from five to about twenty. The members of a group are always very close to one another. They communicate in their own language or body language. When someone is very old or sick, the others will help, and they are willing to share the food with the elders and with those who are weak, which is what we should learn from.
The family does everything together, from raising young, to sleeping together, to hunting. When they hunt, they will work together using team work to kill animals that are larger than them.
They sometimes hunt farm animals. This is unfortunate, because both poachers, and people who own farms shoot the painted dogs who are just trying to survive.
Before, there used to be many large groups throughout the land, but now the African wild dog is very rare. They are also losing their population because of their own loss of habitat thanks to human’ s farming and forest cutting.

B．They help the sick, the elderly and the weak.
C．They are always very close to one another.
D．They communicate in their own language.
54．Which of the following is NOT the reason why African wild dogs are becoming very rare?

Scientists have not found any signs of life on Mars yet,but they say a robotic vehicle called “Curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planet’s history and climate.
Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2012 after travelling through space for more than eight months.It was sent to Mars by scientists from NASA in the United States.
Curiosity is about the size of a car and has six wheels.It also has a robotic arm,cameras,and instruments that allow it to examine things it finds on the surface.Then it sends the information back to the earth.
Curiosity’s main task is to find out if anything could live on Mars,either now or in the past.On Nov.2,NASA scientists held a press conference (新闻发布会) to discuss what Curiosity had found in its first two months on Mars.
Curiosity has found soil that is similar to the sand formed by volcanoes (火山) on the earth.Scientists say that studying the minerals in Martian soil will help them understand what conditions were like on the planet in the past.Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth,where their rough edges have been worn down by water.Mars is very cold and dry now,but scientists say the smooth stones tell them that a river used to run through the place where they were found.
Curiosity has been testing the atmosphere around Mars for a type of gas called methane (甲烷),but so far it has not found any.On the earth,most methane is produced by plants or animals.Methane on Mars might indicate that some type of tiny plants or animals lived there.
Curiosity is the fourth robotic vehicle to be sent to Mars.It will continue to explore the planet for about two years.
61．Which of the following descriptions about Curiosity is TRUE?
A．It landed on Mars in January 2012.

There are three different kinds of friends in our life. I classify (分类) them according to how well I know them and how well they know me.
The first type of friend is just an acquaintance (熟人). This means that you only know their name. You might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation. You don’t miss them when they are elsewhere. It is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation (恼怒). Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly, you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry, such as tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly. I call them “pest friends”.
The second kind of friend is a “guest friend”. They are just social partners. You meet them at a certain location and at the end of the meeting you go your separate way and they go theirs. You don’t talk too often with this sort of friend, and you don’t share each other’s secrets.
Lastly, we have “best friends”. This sort of friend is there when you need them. They know you as a person and they are there through thick and thin. Best friends are the ones that you can lean and depend on no matter what happens. If you need a listening ear, they will be the one to lend support.
Friends come in all different shapes and sizes. Every friend has an impact on our life. . .
66．According to the writer, when a friend of the first type acts in an annoying way, you .
A．can tell him/her about it directly
B．should stay away from him/her
C．should advise him/her to correct his/her behavior
D．may find it hard to tell him/her not to do so
67．Which of the following statements is WRONG about the second type of friend?
A．They are only social partners.
B．You don’t talk very often with them.
C．You don’t share your secrets with them.
D．They are called “pest friends” by the writer.
68．If someone is with you through thick and thin, it means .
A．he/she is your friend for sure
B．he/she agrees with whatever you say
C．you spend most of your time together
D．he/she is with you even when there are difficulties
69．What will most probably be talked about in Paragraph 5?
A．How to make friends.
B．How friends influence our life.
C．How to improve friendship.
D．How to get along well with the third type of friend.
70．What is this passage mainly about?
A．What a true friend is like.
B．Three kinds of friends in our life.
C．The role that friends play in our life.
D．Why there are different kinds of friends.

The period 713-756 AD was when the Tang Dynasty reached its top. It was also China’s golden age of poetry. Then it is no surprise the period produced China’s two greatest poets, Du Fu and Li Bai.
Li Bai (701-762) was also called Tai Bai or Qing Lian Ju Shi as his poetic name. He is one of the most well-known and admired poets in China.
A diligent reader in his youth, he was directed by both Confucianism and Taoism(儒教和道教). He started out at 25 to travel in the country. At the age of 42, a friend suggested him to the court(朝廷).He was greatly pleased at first and eager to serve the emperor like an ancient able politician. But the Emperor Xuanzong only had him as a palace poet to write unimportant poems while the emperor and Yang Guifei, his favorite imperial concubine(皇妃), were treating themselves. Unwilling to serve such a meaningless function, Li Bai left the capital in less than two years.
Then Li Bai went on with his aimless wandering all over the country.Unfortunately, he was charged of being a member of the rebel and sentenced to exile(流放),though pardoned on the way.He died of illness at Dangtu in today’s Anhui.
Li Bai is considered as the first romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty (618-907).His political aim was destroyed,so he turned to drinking to hide from his sorrows and writing,which was described as “A hundred poems per glass wine.” His poetry is still very popular and recited by Chinese children today.Here are some of his poems in English.

April Fools' Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool.However，the April Fools' Day of 2019 was quite different for my mom and me.
That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game.I had dropped down from a bar (横木) many times in the past without ever having a problem，but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare (噩梦)．I broke my arm.
Jimmy's dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on.When he saw the problem，he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital.As that day was April Fools' Day，Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke.Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy's mom.When she saw me，she broke down in tears because she felt so bad－she simply believed that was just a big trick.
I guess one could compare this to the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf.Since I had played bad tricks before，it was no wonder that my mom didn't believe it.I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day.We both learned a valuable lesson.

B．She would not like to pay the money.
C．She had no preparation for the bad news.
D．She thought her son deserved (应受) it.
89．Why did the writer mention the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf?

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了逗号在生活中是很重要的，如果没有逗号，将会造成理解上的错误，同时我们也应该要遵守使用逗号的一些规则，这样才会让我们所表达的东西更加清楚。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段“What would life be like without commas (逗号)? It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. (没有逗号的生活会是什么样子？这会相当令人困惑。以这个简单的句子为例：让我们吃爸爸！没有逗号，爸爸就变成了食物。)”可知，如果在生活中，我们讲话不使用逗号，那会造成误解，因此没有逗号的生活是令人困惑的。故选B项。
2．推理判断题。根据第一段的“Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence.(以这个简单的句子为例：让我们吃爸爸！没有逗号，爸爸就变成了食物。加上逗号，爸爸就成了晚餐时的伙伴：我们吃吧，爸爸！逗号使人们对这个句子有更好的理解。)”以及第二段的“Here’s another example: Tom said Sarah stole the cake. Here, Sarah is the thief. But add a pair of commas, and Tom becomes the thief: Tom, said Sarah, stole the cake.(还有一个例子：汤姆说莎拉偷了蛋糕。在这里，莎拉是小偷。但是加上一对逗号，汤姆就成了小偷：汤姆，莎拉说，偷了蛋糕。)”可知，这两个例子告诉我们，加逗号和不加逗号，句子的含义是不一样的，而且还会造成误解，因此可知，有了逗号，人们才能更好地理解一句话。故作者在这举例是为了说明逗号的重要性。故选B项。

The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence. (然而，这个逗号来自口头演讲。很久以前，大多数人不识字。他们听演讲人讲述的新闻或故事。逗号开始是用来标记句子中停顿的位置的。)”可知，逗号一开始是在口头中使用，用来表示停顿。故选D项。
4．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“There are rules that people shall not break. Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes.(有些规则是人们不能违反的。学会它们，你就不会吃掉任何人或做出错误的改变。)”可知，逗号的使用是有相关的规则的，我们不能违反了这些规则，因此可知我们学习逗号要懂得遵守它的规则。故选C项。
5．主旨大意题。根据第一段的“What would life be like without commas(逗号)? It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food.

11．细节理解题。根据第一段的“George Daniels lives in London. He is a watchmaker. His work continues the tradition of the English watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today this tradition is almost dead. Daniels is the only man in the world who designs his own watches makes all the pars himself and then puts them together.(乔治·丹尼尔斯住在伦敦。他是一名钟表匠。他的作品延续了18世纪和19世纪英国制表师的传统。今天，这一传统几乎已经消亡。丹尼尔斯是世界上唯一一个自己设计手表的人，他自己制造所有零件，然后把它们组装在一起。)”可知，乔治·丹尼尔斯是一个自己独自设计和制作手表的钟表匠。故选D项。

15．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“He is now internationally famous and many people would like him to make watches for them. But most of them will be disappointed. He chooses his customers very carefully indeed.(他现在在国际上很有名，许多人想让他为他们制作手表。但大部分都会失望。他确实非常仔细地选择他的顾客。)”可知，不是所有人都能让他为他们制作手表，他要筛选客人，大多数都是没有这个资格的，因此可知，只有少数部分人能获得他的手表。故选C项。
16．B    17．B    18．D    19．A    20．C

【分析】本文是说明文。本文主要讲述了比萨斜塔的倾斜历史及政府为此做出的努力。
16．主旨大意题。文章第一段就提到“That the Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a ￡20 million project to save it has proved to be a great success.” 比萨斜塔不再倾斜那么多，在花费￡2000万的项目拯救斜塔后,它被证明是一个巨大的成功。文章开头就说明比萨斜塔的保存，并且下文也是围绕拯救比萨斜塔进行阐述的。所以最佳标题是拯救比萨斜塔。故选B项。
17．细节理解题。第三段第一句“The tower, which has been leaning almost since building work first began in 1173,” 这座塔自1173年开始施工以来就一直倾斜。此处提到比萨斜塔自1173年建立(至今已有800多年的历史)时就开始倾斜。故选B项。
18．细节理解题。文章最后一段提到“The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989,killing four people. Experts suddenly realized that the tower at Pisa, which was similarly built and on the same sort of earth, could do the same.” 1989年帕维亚一座塔楼倒塌，造成4人死亡，之后意大利政府介入。专家们突然意识到，比萨斜塔的建造方式和建造地点都很相似，也可以达到同样的效果。说明正是另一个地方的塔的倒塌才使意大利政府意识到拯救比萨斜塔的迫切性。故选D项。
19．推理判断题。根据第六段“halfway through the project, concerns at the ugliness of the lead weights led to their removal and the tower leaned greatly. The weights were hurriedly reattached.” 工程进行到一半时，由于担心铅砣太丑，所以拆除了铅砣，斜塔也倾斜了很多。铅砣赶紧重新装上。文章第六段提到把铅砣移走后,导致塔又有很大的倾斜，这正说明在扶正塔的过程中，铅砣固定在塔上可能起了最重要的作用。故选A项。
20．细节理解题。文章第一段就提到“That the Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a ￡20 million project to save it has proved to be a great success.”比萨斜塔不再倾斜那么多，在花费￡2000万的项目拯救斜塔后,它被证明是一个巨大的成功。”可知扶正工作完成后，比萨斜塔还是会倾斜，C项与文章内容不符。故选C项。

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位被抢劫的教授意外地捡到了抢劫犯丢失的彩票。随后,教授发现该彩票为中奖彩票,教授最终通过媒体找到了这位抢劫犯,并归还了用彩票兑换的奖金。
21．推理判断题。由第二段内容“Finally, he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed.” 最后，他决定，尽管钱被抢了，他也不能留下。可知,得知该彩票为中奖彩票后,教授的内心很矛盾,最终做出了决定，所以教授是看到彩票结果后犹豫了一下，A项表示他一看到彩票结果就知道该怎么做了，不符合。故选A项。
22．细节理解题。由最后一段第一句“Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash.” 萨巴图奇教授接到了数百个电话，人们都想骗他把钱交给他们。可知,数百人给教授打电话是想要得到这笔钱。故选B项。
23．推理判断题。由最后一段中的“He could not believe what was happening.”他难以相信发生了什么。可知，得知受害者想要找到他时,那位抢劫犯对所发生的事“难以置信”。故选D项。
24．词句猜测题。由上文中的“The professor replied,‘I couldn’t because it’s not mine.’”教授回复道，我不能这样做，因为这不是我的。可以推断出,教授“拒绝”接受那个抢劫犯给他的酬金。故此处spurning的意义和rejecting相近。故选C项。
25．主旨大意题。该文讲述了一个抢劫犯在抢劫一位教授时把一张最终获奖的彩票丢下了,而捡到彩票的教授设法找到了这位抢劫犯,并归还了所有用彩票兑奖得到的现金。故该抢劫犯是幸运的,以A项“一个小偷的幸运日”作为标题最好。故选A项。

27．细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.” 关键是要确保去的是警察开的电话亭，而不是独立的出租车司机开的。可知,为了避免被骗，在机场搭乘出租车时,应到警察经营的摊位。故选C项。

31．细节理解题。根据第三段“In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints (脚印) in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don’t walk without shoes in the snow!”可知，1887年，一位登山者在雪地上发现了巨大的脚印。它们看起来像一个非常高大的人的脚印。但是人是不会在雪地里不穿鞋走路的! 由此可知，人们感兴趣的原因是这些脚印看起来像一个巨人的。故选B项。
32．细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints.”可知，但直到1951年，一位登山者才带回了大脚印的照片。由此可知，雪人的巨大脚印是在1951年拍摄的。故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据最后一段“His pictures showed clearly that the snowman walked on two legs, so it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape (猿) man? The mystery grew!”可知，他的照片清楚地显示，雪人是用两条腿走路的，所以它既不是熊，也不是猴子。会不会是猿人？神秘了！由此可知，这些照片清楚地显示了雪人是如何走路的，但是人们有没有明确的答案，因此雪人变得更加神秘了。故选C项。
34．细节理解题。根据第三段“In 1887，a mountain climber found large footprints (脚印) in the snow.”可知，1887年，一位登山者在雪地上发现了巨大的脚印。从登山队员首先在1887年发现雪地里的大脚印到现在大约有一百多年了，所以A项是最符合的。故选A项。

37．推理判断题。根据What do you do with it中“...the calls cost 10p per unit”可以知道，打这种电话每单位时间为10便士，故40单位时间，应花400便士，即4英镑(1英镑=100便士)。故选A项。

39．词义猜测题。根据第一段“With a phone card you can make up to 200 calls without any change at all.”可知，用这种磁卡电话免去了带现金的麻烦, 所以自己弄张电话卡试试出去。否则自己会带很多的钱。故可判定Or get a bigger wallet.是“带很多钱”的意思。故选D项。
40．推理判断题。短文介绍了磁卡电话的用法和好处。根据最后一段“Get a phone card yourself and try it out.”自己找一张电话卡试试。是劝说人们买这些磁卡试试,可见短文来自于广告。故选C项。

64．推理判断题。根据第六段“Curiosity has been testing the atmosphere around Mars for a type of gas called methane (甲烷), but so far it has not found any. On the earth, most methane is produced by plants or animals.

69．推理判断题。由最后一段“Friends come in all different shapes and sizes. Every friend has an impact on our life. . .”（朋友有各种各样的形状和大小。每个朋友都会影响我们的生活……），可推知接下来作者最有可能要谈论的是和“朋友如何影响我们的生活”有关的内容。故选B项。

76．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“At the age of 42, a friend suggested him to the court(42岁时，一位朋友把他推荐到朝廷)”可知，李白在42岁的时候入朝做官。又根据第二段“Li Bai (701-762)”李白的出生日期Li Bai (701-762)可知，李白是在743（701+42）年入朝做官。然后又根据文章第三段最后一句“Li Bai left the capital in less than two years(李白不到两年就离开了都城)”可知，李白只做了两年的官。故李白当官的时间是743年到745年。故此题选C。

78．主旨大意题。文章第三段前部分“At the age of 42, a friend suggested him to the court(42岁时，一位朋友把他推荐到朝廷)”写道李白入朝为官。在段落最后“Li Bai left the capital in less than two years(李白不到两年就离开了都城)”写道李白只做官两年。由此可知，第三段主要写了李白被引荐进了朝廷，刚开始还很满意，后来觉得没被重用，实现不了自己的抱负，不到两年就离开了都城。所以第三段主要讲述了李白入朝为官的经历。故此题选B。
79．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“A diligent reader in his youth, he was directed by both Confucianism and Taoism(他年轻时是一位勤奋的读者，同时受儒家和道教的指导)”可知，李白年轻时喜欢读书。故此题选A。

85．主旨大意题。根据第四段第一句“About one-fourth of the Bolivians are mixed Indian and white.（大约四分之一的玻利维亚人是印第安人和白人的混血。）”以及第三句“More than half of the Bolivians are full-blooded Indians.一半以上的玻利维亚人是纯正印第安血统。”可知本段主要讲玻利维亚人的血缘关系。故选D。
