23、为：电是日常生活的一局部，如今，我们已经习以为常，以致于开灯或开电视时很少细致考虑电的问题。sothat是固定搭配，意思是“如此以致于”，故答案为D。32. C 句意为：晚上灯光照亮的公路使人们自由通行，使交通畅通无阻。traffic意为“交通”;pedestrian意为“行人”，与空格前的people词义重复; car和truck都指详细的车辆类型，含义过于狭窄。综合考虑，此处应填入traffic。33. B 句意为：广告中运用的霓虹灯已经成为了每个现代化城市的一大特色。appearance意为“外观”;character意为“特征，特色”;distinction意为“区分”;surface
24、意为“外表”。依据句意，答案为B。34. A 句意为：在家里，很多节约劳动力的设备都是由电带动的。四个选项都是复合形容词，labour-saving意为“节约劳动力的”;time-saving意为“节约时间的”;energy-saving意为“节能的”;money-saving意为“省钱的”。依据句意，此处填入labour-saving最适宜。35. C 句意为：即使当我们关上床头灯，睡得很熟时，电仍旧在为我们工作。only意为“只有”;rarely意为“少有地”;even意为“即使”;frequently意为“频繁地，屡次地”。依据句意，此处应填入even。36. B fast asleep
25、为固定搭配，意为“睡得很熟的”，故答案为B。quite意为“特别”;quickly意为“很快地”;closely意为“靠近地，接近地”，均不符合句意，故解除。37. D move意为“挪动”;start意为“启动”;repair意为“修复”;drive意为“驱动，使机器运转”。此处的动词与our refrigerators连用，填入driving最适宜，意为“使电冰箱正常运行”。38. B bother to do sth. 意为“费心做某事”;hesitate to do sth.意为“做某事迟疑不决”;remember to do sth.指“记得去做某事”。此处是说，我们费心思索它们为什
26、么或如何运行，故答案为B。39. C 句意：直到这些交通工具出问题时，我们才会费心思索它们为什么或如何运行。前半句出现了rarely，含否认意义，与until搭配运用，意为“直到才”，故答案为C。40. B 句意为：1959年的夏天，负责给纽约供电的发电厂真的出了问题。当句子中没有其他的助动词时，可以在动词前运用助动词do表示对该动作的强调，助动词do随人称和时态而改变。因此，did符合题意。41. A 句意为：很多小时过去了，生活几乎停滞不前。come to a standstill是固定搭配，意为“停住，停滞不前”。terminal意为“终点”;breakdown意为“故障”;pause意
27、为“暂停”，均不符合句意，故解除。42. B 句意为：火车无法开动，车厢里的人坐在黑暗中无能为力，什么事也做不了。incompetent意为“没有实力的, 不能胜任的”;powerless意为“无能为力的”;hesitant意为“迟疑不决的”;helpless意为“无助的”。此处指人处于停电的环境中无能为力，什么事也做不了，因此答案为B。43. D 句意为：电梯也停顿工作，即使你足够幸运，没被困在两层楼之间，也得自己不开心地步行下楼梯。although意为“虽然”;when意为“当时”;as意为“像一样”;even if 意为“即使，纵然”。通过分析上下文，此处填入even if最适宜。44.
28、 D 句意同上。lock意为“把锁起来”;place意为“放置”;position意为“把放在适当的位置”;trap意为“困住，陷入逆境”。依据上下文意思，此处应当选D。45. C 句意同上。a flight of stairs是固定搭配，表示“(两个楼梯平台间的)一段楼梯”，本题中考察的是复数形式，故答案为C。46. A in an instant是固定搭配，意为“瞬间，立刻”，意思相当于immediately，故答案为A。in a minute意为“很快，立刻”，一般用于将来时，不符合句意，故解除。47. D asas为固定搭配，表示“像一样”，故答案为D。48. A 句意为：人们胆怯分开
29、自己的房子，因为虽然警察被要求随时待命，以防突发事务，但他们也像其别人一样怀疑和无助。for 表示缘由，and表示并列关系，but表示转折，or表示选择。结合上下文，此处填入for最适宜。49. C 句意同上。stand aside意为“避开”;stand down意为“从要职上退下”;stand by意为“做好打算，待命”; stand in意为“站立于，坐落于”。依据上下文分析，此处应当指警察处于待命状态，故答案为C。50.
