It was the increase in emigration(移民) to America that for the first time made the carrying of passengers across the Atlantic more profitable than the transportation of heavy cargoes. A new type of sailing ship, the packet(邮船), appeared to meet this new demand, and the demand very soon resulted in strong petition among several packet lines. The earliest of these was the Black Ball Line set up in New York in 1816, only a year after the end of the war. The service of this famous line started with four of the new fast packets, each of 400 to 500 tons: the Pacific, the Amity, the James Cooper, and the William Thompson. During the first twenty years of service, the average time from New York to Liverpool was 23 days and the average trip back to New York took 40 days. By the middle of the century packets had increased in size to between 900 and 1, 000 tons and their speed had increased. The Red Jackel once sailed from New York to Liverpool in 13 days, 11.5 hours. The Mary Whiteridge took 4.5 hours off this record on a run from Baltimore to Liverpool. Such speeds were far greater than the average of from 19 to 21 days to Liverpool and from 30 to 35 homeward to New York, but the packets had still set a new standard for transoceanic travel.

The Mary Whiteridge took 4.5 hours off this record on a run from Baltimore to Liverpool.”可得出结果。B语篇导读：总是没法走出办公室吗？这样怎么保持健康、减少压力？且听作者良言忠告。5.C本段主要告诉我们利用办公桌做俯卧撑，因此C项正确。6.F这一招叫小美人鱼式，是训练躯干力量和柔韧性的最好动作之一。在椅子上坐直，把右拳举过头顶，左手握住，使劲拉，向身体右侧伸展，保持10秒，还原。从上下文看，是指导做这一动作的指令语。7.D这一节讲的是肩部拉伸训练：右手向上伸出，弯曲，试着够左手。如果能够着，从上下文可以看出作者在指导拉伸动作，关键词“reach,touch”可以帮助我们作出判断。8.A这一节是“木腿运动”，是训练下半身的力量，上文讲到抬腿伸展，这里选项说到：每条腿重复15次。选项中关键词“leg”与此处行文吻合。9.E这套动作称之为“坐魔毯”，即这个运动可以锻炼你的躯干和手臂，交叉双腿，盘坐在椅子上该动作与文中“above the seat”符合，表明是坐着的运动，选项中“on the seat”是关键信息词。.完形填空语篇导读：本文是记叙文，讲述了我和妻子在深夜救火的经过。1.C毕竟客人走了之后“我们”可以放松一下，因此选C，“谢天谢地，客人总算走了”。2.Bleave表示“使处于某种状态”，与下文构成完整结构，leave sth.as it is表示“听之任之”。3.C开窗当然是为了让新鲜空气进来，让食物的气味排放出去。4.Afall asleep为固定短语，表示“睡着”。5.C与下一空相搭配，表示“我睡了顶多不过半个钟头”，用否定句式，是have hardly/not done sthwhen句式，而must 不用于否定句中表示判断推测。6.C与上一空相联系，本句用了“hardly/not/justwhen”句式表示“刚一/才就”。until表示某一延续动作的截止时间，即动作延续的时间，不可用于此处。7.B早上两点才睡觉，睡了才半个小时，此时仍然睡眼朦胧。8.Athrough指“从中间穿过”，透过满屋烟雾，“我”看见是怎么回事。9.C上文已提到“我”睡觉前将窗户打开了，因此A、B不对，remove表示“挪开，拿走，去掉”，此处应该是“我本该把窗户关上的”，下文（第16空所在句）提到窗外的风助火势。10.B根据上下文可知用but表转折，“should have done sth., but” 表示“本该，可是”。11.B从上下文看，fail这个动作已经发生，因此用when不用if，用报纸灭火没有用时，“我”就用其他办法。12.D“提一桶水”用carry，bring表示“带来”，take表示“拿走”，find表示“找到”，均不符合上下文的含义，此处指提水救火，用carry表示拿着笨重物体。13.C家里失火了要救火，当然迫在眉睫，用hurriedly才妥当。14.A先打电话给消防队再来帮“我”。15.D将水从厨房运到房里灭火，与第12空一样，用carry表示“运载”。16.C与下一空前面的介词from（被省略）构成搭配，表示“不让火势蔓延”，中间夹了过去分词短语作定语。17.D不让火势蔓延，与上文prevent构成搭配prevent （from） doing，与下文“it under control”相呼应。18.B“我们不能扑灭大火”，put out the fire表示“灭火”。19.Abring/keep sthunder control表示“控制”。20.C有了如此结果，应该算作“幸运地”了。.短文改错 After school, I was about to enter into my apartment when I saw a little dirty dog lie beside lyingthe dustbin.
